Zhang Lang smiled and said: "We don't have much connection in the first place, so why get involved together?"

Xu Cheng looked at Zhang Lang blankly, and then sighed with emotion: "If it weren't for the Queen Mother's incident, I would definitely think that Brother Yuan is a Lu man who doesn't understand the style."

When Zhang Lang heard him mentioning the Queen Mother, he couldn't help but feel depressed. He just felt that if he had anything to do with the Queen Mother, that's all. But he didn't have anything, and such rumors were spread. He was really at a loss!

On the other side, Yuan Xi hurried to the courtyard where Mrs. Liu was, and saw her mother who was admiring the plum blossoms in the garden. She said anxiously: "Mother, save me! Mother, save me!..."

Mrs. Liu frowned, showing an unhappy look, and said angrily: "As the fourth son of the prime minister's family, how is it that you are so flustered?"

Yuan Xi couldn't care about that much at the moment, and said anxiously: "Mother, something bad has happened! My father has reached an agreement with Dong Zhuo and decided to send me to Chang'an as a hostage! If I get to Chang'an, I'm afraid I won't be able to see him again.

I can’t see my mother anymore!…”

Mrs. Liu showed a surprised look, then frowned and said, "Such a thing happened." She looked at Yuan Xi and asked, "Why didn't your father send your eldest brother there?"

Yuan Xi said gloomily: "My father originally wanted to send my eldest brother. But Li Su actually objected, saying that my status is higher than my eldest brother and equal to their heir apparent. I must go to Chang'an as a hostage!"

Mrs. Liu asked: "So, the proton sent by Dong Zhuo is their heir apparent."

Yuan Xi nodded and couldn't help but beg: "Mother, there is still room for change in this matter. Please ask mother to ask father to take back his life!..."

"Nonsense!" Mrs. Liu shouted displeased.

Yuan Xi did not expect that his mother would scold him. He was stunned on the spot and looked at his mother at a loss.

Mrs. Liu said angrily: "What happened today is equivalent to declaring to the whole world that you are your father's heir, and you actually want to reject it!"

Yuan Xi was stunned for a moment, and then felt that what his mother said made sense, and he couldn't help but feel joy in his heart. But then he thought of going to Chang'an, which was under Dong Zhuo's control, which was like going to the dragon's pond and the tiger's den, and his joy was immediately replaced by fear and uneasiness.

Already.

Mrs. Liu saw Yuan Xi's expression in her eyes and shook her head secretly. Then she reassured her: "You don't have to worry at all. Your father and mother will never let anything go wrong for you!

Furthermore, Dong Zhuo's eldest son is in Luoyang, so how dare Dong Zhuo do anything against you? Moreover, if anyone else wants to do harm to you, Dong Zhuo will definitely protect you with all his strength!"

Hearing this, Yuan Xi's worried heart calmed down a lot.

Mrs. Liu walked up to Yuan Xi, raised her hand to straighten his clothes, and said sincerely: "From ancient times to the present, which person who has achieved great things has not experienced disasters and dangers?

There is a saying that, "When heaven is about to entrust a great responsibility to this person, he must first strain his muscles and bones and his mind."

This incident is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you. It not only indirectly declares your identity, but also allows you to make great achievements and establish an unshakable position!

You must not disappoint your father and mother, go and prepare."

Zhang Lang returned to his residence and drank and chatted with Xu Cheng. Unknowingly, the sun had set and it was almost dusk.

At this moment, Xu You's men came and said that Xu You had summoned Xu Cheng, his son. Xu Cheng did not dare to delay, so he immediately said goodbye to Zhang Lang and went back to see his father.

Zhang Lang came to the backyard, and then there was the melodious sound of a piano. Zhang Lang followed the sound and saw Yueying teaching Xiaodoudou how to play the piano in the waterside pavilion in front of him. Although Xiaodoudou was only half a year old, his posture of playing the piano was very impressive.

In this way, the sound of the piano also has some flavor.

He couldn't help but smile slightly and murmured: "I didn't expect that Xiao Doudou would have such a talent! It seems that when she grows up, she will be a disaster-level woman who is not much worse than Yueying!"

Yan Lan came from outside, came directly behind Zhang Lang, cupped her fists and bowed: "Fourth Young Master."

Zhang Lang turned around and immediately saw Yan Lan's fiery and toned figure under the black outfit. He felt a little dazed. After calming down, he asked: "What's the matter?"

Yan Lan said: "The Prime Minister sent someone to invite the Fourth Young Master to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to discuss matters."

Zhang Lang nodded, feeling that all kinds of things were coming together. The meeting schedule these days must be very tight. It was obviously impossible for him to take some time off alone.

Since his father summoned him, Zhang Lang naturally couldn't delay and immediately led Xue Qingyanlan and others out of the mansion and rushed to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

When Zhang Lang followed the maid in the mansion to the study of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he was surprised to find that there were only three people in the study, namely his father Yuan Shao, Xu You, and Feng Ji. The others, not even his two brothers, were present.

This surprised Zhang Lang. He didn't know what his father wanted to talk to him about.

"Dad." Zhang Lang bowed.

Yuan Shao looked at Zhang Lang and said with a smile: "Maier is here. Do you know that your father just decided a lifelong event for Maier?"

Zhang Lang's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but open his eyes wide and said, "A lifelong event? Could it be that you, dad, are looking for a wife for me?!..."

Xu You smiled and said: "The Fourth Young Master guessed right, that's exactly what happened. Not long ago, the Huns envoy officially expressed to the Prime Minister that the whole family would surrender to the Prime Minister!..."

Zhang Lang frowned and said: "The Huns' words are no different from farts. How can we believe their words?"

The three of them all laughed, and Zhang Lang felt a little baffled when he saw this.

Yuan Shao said: "What Mai'er said is absolutely true. What a barbarian and a lowly person says is naturally not worthy of belief.

But you don’t know, Mai’er, that in order to express his sincerity in surrender, King Youxian decided to sacrifice his biological sister who is also a witch saint!”

Feng Ji smiled and said: "The identity of Prince Youxian's sister is nothing. But the identity of the Witch Saint is not simple. This identity is like a god in the hearts of the grassland people, including the Huns.

King Youxian is willing to sacrifice this daughter this time, which shows that we all misjudged him before. He did not have any conspiracy, but really planned to surrender to the big man and the prime minister.

This can also be said to be God’s help to the Prime Minister. Just when the Prime Minister was preparing to attack Jizhou, King Youxian of the Xiongnu came with his clan to surrender. It is really a blessing from God!”

Zhang Lang frowned and said, "I still don't believe in the Huns."

Yuan Shao joked: "The Huns offered their holy girls to be your concubines. You brat, you still don't believe it?!"

Zhang Lang was stunned for a moment, then thought of what his father had just said, he couldn't help but point to his nose and said in surprise: "Be my concubine? Why?"

Yuan Shao laughed and said: "This is also the request of the Huns themselves. It is obviously because you scared the Huns before! This is a good thing! This marriage will not only guarantee that the border will be safe from now on, but at least it will not be necessary for a few years."
