At dusk, Xu You stood in front of the White Horse Camp's camp, raising his head and staring blankly at the flagpole while feeling an indescribable bitterness and helplessness in his heart. Wen Chou's head was right there hung, his hair was stained with blood, and his face was covered with fine wounds, as if the ground had been scraped. If not for the fact that Xu You and Wen Chou were extremely familiar with each other, it would be difficult to recognize that this was one of Yuan Shao's most important generals.

"What should I do?" "I boasted in front of Yuan Shao that I am going to bring Wen Chou back to Gongsun Zimin, Gongsun Zimin! Wen Chou is a man of immense power, why would I want to kill him?"

"I do not know the details, General Gongsun will definitely tell Mister!" Gongsun Yi's tone was very respectful, but he did not reveal the cause of Wen Chou's death. As his two brothers were Gongsun Xu's bodyguards, they knew long ago that he had to be cautious.

Xu You snorted coldly. He was somewhat unhappy, but he did not continue to question him about his identity. On the way, Xu You discovered that there were many people walking around in the White Horse Camp. There were no less than twenty to thirty thousand of them, but they were unlike the army camps he had seen in the past, which were filled with noise like a pot of porridge, which he had only seen before.

Xu You was extremely shocked, and thought to himself: "Gongsun Zimin's army is actually this elite, no wonder Qu Yi and Wen Chou came back defeated! However, the more powerful Gongsun Zimin is, the more wealth this old man will be able to obtain after I submit to him.

Unknowingly, Xu You had already followed Gongsun Yi to the front of Gongsun Xu's large tent. Gongsun Xu stood outside with a smile on his face, and cupped his hands in a very respectful manner, "Mister Zi Yuan, you've worked hard on this journey, please come in."

Xu You bowed and said: "I do not dare to accept your invitation, General Gongsun!"

"Teacher has great talent. This general truly wants to listen to your teachings and come out to welcome you. If it were not for the fact that I was worried that someone might have noticed, I would have personally gone outside the camp to welcome you. "Come in!" After Gongsun Xu said those beautiful words, she brought Xu You into the big tent.

After entering, Xu You found that there was a young man dressed in a luxurious black robe inside, standing up and cupping his hands when he saw him enter.

"This is Yingchuan Guo Jia, and he has an engagement with my younger sister. Feng Xiao, this is the great scholar of Nanyang, Xu Ziyuan. Gongsun Xu gave a simple introduction to both sides.

Guo Jia waved his sleeves, cupped his hands, and said: "Yingchuan Guo Jia greets Mister Zi Yuan. I have long heard from Zi Minxiong about Sir, seeing your extraordinary bearing today! "

Seeing that Guo Jia looked very young, Xu You originally still looked down upon him a little. When he heard that it was Guo Jia Ying Chuan, and he was even Gongsun Zan's son-in-law, he quickly smiled and bowed, "So it's the genius Guo Fengxiao Ying Chuan, this old man has heard of your great name for a long time! This old man has met Xi Zhicai once before, and he admires him greatly. It's a pity that Xi Zhicai passed away young, it's truly a pity! "

Guo Jia was very surprised, and cupped his hands again: "So Mr. Zi Yuan is actually Brother Zhi Cai's old acquaintance, sorry for the disrespect!"

"I don't dare! This old man is also extremely impressed by the fact that Feng Xiao is able to become so famous in the Youzhou at such a young age! " Xu You quickly returned the greeting while flattering Guo Jia, saying that Guo Jia might have some reputation in Ying Chuan, but other than Gongsun Xu and a few others, no one else knew of Guo Jia's talent, and saying that his name that shook Youzhou was already a big deal to Xu You.

Gongsun Xu laughed: "Alright, alright, sit down first. We're on the same side in the future, just say these words."

Xu You and Guo Jia looked at each other and smiled, then sat on the left and right of Gongsun Xu.

"Servants, serve tea!" Gongsun Xu shouted to the back.

She looked extremely elegant, her skin as white as jade. She was precisely Lan Lan who had saved Gongsun Xu's life.

Xu You's eyes immediately lit up when he saw Lan Lan, but then, he remembered that Gongsun Xu had brought this girl along when he was on the march, so it was very likely that she was either a servant or a concubine. Right now, he was doing well, but he did not dare offend Gongsun Xu. He was just a beauty, if he could become her subordinate in the future, wouldn't that mean that he could have as many beauties as he wanted? In fact, Xu You had guessed wrongly. Lan Lan had merely taken care of Gongsun Xu's daily life and had Mo Bingmei watching over them from the side at all times, so they weren't at all warm. Obscure relationship.

Gongsun Xu never drank tea with seasonings added to it, so when he drank tea, it would always be boiling water. Lan Lan was very clever, he only watched once and took note of the steps of making the tea.

Xu You looked at it in a daze. After Lan Lan served the tea and left, he could not help but exclaim: "General, this method of brewing tea is rather novel, I actually have never heard of it before. I just wonder how the tea tastes like?"

Gongsun Xu picked up the teacup and smiled: "Mister, you'll know once you taste it. This kind of green tea has a unique flavor." As he spoke, he lightly sniffed the tea water and took a few sips.

Xu You imitated him and drank a few sips, praising: "As expected, the aroma is good, compared to the brewed tea, the taste is much fresher, it is worthy of the General's title of 'Pure Tea'!"

"Mister, if you like it, you can bring some tea leaves with you when you go back."

"Thank you, General."

After drinking a cup of tea and exchanging a few more polite words, Gongsun Xu asked Xu You about the purpose of his visit.

"Why is Mr. Zi Yuan here?"

Xu You sighed: "I originally came here for Wen Chou, but who would have thought that his head, which is now above the flagpole, would actually disappoint me! General, if Wen Chou is still alive, he will definitely be able to exchange for something useful from Yuan Shao's hands! "

"Wen Chou's death was entirely an accident," Gongsun Xu shook his head, and explained the situation when Wen Chou died in a simple manner.

"Sigh." Xu You sighed once again after listening, "So that's how it is. This is not the general's fault, but Wen Chou's really bad luck! Since that's the case, let's not talk about Wen Chou for now. There is a secret that I should tell the General first. "

Gongsun Xu's expression changed slightly as he nodded his head: "Sir, please speak, this general will listen attentively."

Xu You thought for a while, then repeated what Guo Tu and Yuan Shao had said to him before, and as for what he had said himself, and Yuan Shao's evaluation of him as a 'true villain', he automatically ignored it.

"So that's how it is!" After Gongsun Xu heard it, he shook his head and looked at Guo Jia, sighing: "Feng Xiao, you've hit the mark, Tao Sheng is really the Army of Heishan's spy!"

Guo Jia also shook his head, looking extremely regretful.

Xu You said in surprise, "Oh? So the general already knows about this? "

Gongsun Xu said solemnly: "I only have some guesses, thank you for bringing this accurate news, ah! This is a great merit! If Tao Sheng attacked from the back while the battle was in full swing, that would be a matter of life and death! This general will remember Mr. Zi Yuan's great contribution and will definitely not mistreat you in the future. "

"As long as I can help the general, it's fine. As for the merits, I don't really care." Xu You pretended to evade, looking like a noble and upright person.

"Sir, you don't have to decline!" Gongsun Xu waved his hand: "If there is anything great, you must reap it with great rewards. This is a rule of this general. On the way back, this general has other gifts for you."

"In that case, thank you, General." Xu You cupped his hands together in thanks.

Gongsun Xu smiled and said: "It's just a small gift, there's no need for Mister to be polite."

At this time, Guo Jia spoke up: "Since Yuan Shao values Wen Chou very much, I wonder if Sir can help Zi Minxiong think about how to make the best use of this matter?"

"This …" Xu You pondered for a moment, then spoke with a low voice as his eyes lit up: "Yuan Shao's most trusted generals are Yan Liang and Wen Chou. Now that Wen Chou has already been executed, if Yan Liang were to die, how could the useless generals at Yuan Shao's disposal be able to withstand the attacks of the general and the Marquis Jin? I have a plan that can let Yan Liang die in the underworld! "

Guo Jia cupped his hands respectfully: "Please enlighten me, Sir."

"Yan Liang and Wen Chou are as close as brothers, if Yan Liang knew that Wen Chou died, he would definitely think of revenge, but Yuan Shao was ungrateful, and was originally prepared to let Yan Liang travel to save Gao Yi. If he knew that Wen Chou died, he would order Yan Liang to save Zhang He and Tian Feng, and withdraw to Qing He, instead of letting Yan Liang lead the large army to take revenge for Wen Chou. Therefore, if you want Yan Liang to ignore everything and take revenge for Wen Chou, then you have to use some methods that would cause him to lose face! "

Guo Jia anxiously asked: "What methods do you have?"

Xu You looked at Gongsun Xu and asked: "General. I can see that there are many wounds on Wen Chou's face, and he looks to be in a miserable state.

"Exactly." Gongsun Xu nodded.

Xu You stroked his beard, and laughed complacently: "It's a pity that Yan Liang didn't know about this, if I tricked him into saying that Wen Chou was tortured to death and his corpse was chopped into minced meat, even if Yuan Shao personally gave the order, Yan Liang would definitely think of ways to take revenge! Once Yan Liang's mind is clouded by hatred and the general has prepared a trap in advance, there will be no return no matter how many people he brings! "

Gongsun Xu frowned slightly, coughed lightly and said: "I drank too much tea just now, excuse me for a moment." With that, he stood up and walked in through the door that Lan Lan had just walked out of.

As the lord, Gongsun Xu naturally could not do such a thing that would damage her reputation. Hence, she chose to temporarily avoid it.

Xu You understood what Gongsun Xu meant, he stood up and sent him off, but did not open his mouth to persuade him to stay.

When Xu You sat down again, Guo Jia sighed: "Mister Zi Yuan's plan is good, but if the news of insulting the corpse were to spread, I am afraid it would harm Zi Minxiong's reputation!"

"Feng Xiao is overthinking it, it won't be that serious!" Xu You shook his head: "I will secretly tell Yan Liang about Wen Chou's corpse. According to his personality, he will definitely not let any more people know that his brothers died peacefully, so this matter will not spread around."

"Is that really true?" Guo Jia was a little hesitant.

Xu You said emotionally: "Feng Xiao, don't worry, this old man will dare vouch for this matter with my head!"

"Since Mister is so confident, let's do it this way. But I hope Mister will remember that Zi Minxiong did not know about this matter, or even heard about it."

"Of course! Please rest assured, General Gongsun and Feng Xiao! "

"Alright, we already have a plan. Mister, please help us consider it …"
