The three brothers gathered around their father's bed. Yuan Xuanhu drank some water and felt a little better. When he saw the eldest son, he asked: "How are the affairs of the Hou Mochen family handled?"
Yuan Jin said: "My child broke the traitor's legs with his own hands and sent someone to the Hou Mochen family to let them do whatever they wanted. My child also wrote more than a dozen posts to inform all the Guanlong families."
Yuan Xuanhu nodded, "Sons can be reborn, but once the reputation of the Yuan family is ruined, we will be the sinners of the Yuan family. I'm sorry for all the ancestors. You have done a good job. Personal mistakes should be borne by him, and the Yuan family cannot be harmed."
"
Yuan Lu said again: "Father, the three of us just agreed that the prince was probably making excuses. The Yuan family had offended him before."
"You are right, I have also thought of it, but we must make it clear about this matter. The Yuan family did not assassinate the East Palace, but was used by others."
At this time, the housekeeper at the door waved to Yuan Jin, and Yuan Jin quickly went out. After a while, he came back with a look of helplessness.
"Father, this Guo Song is really amazing." Yuan Jin sighed.
"what happened?"
"Haier sent someone to inquire about Guo Song's whereabouts last night, but the person he sent came back to report that Guo Song stayed at Guo Ziyi's house last night and did not return home all night."
The father and son looked at each other, how could this happen? Yuan Lu couldn't help but said: "Did Xiao'er not tell the truth?"
Yuan Chu suddenly sneered and said: "What a powerful method. He has even considered his retreat. If we accuse him to the emperor, Guo Ziyi will definitely come out to prove it to him. With Guo Ziyi's credibility, how can the emperor not believe it?"
In the end, it turned out that the Yuan family framed Guo Song in order to take revenge on Yuan Zai. At that time, the Yuan family was no longer human inside and out. Fortunately, the eldest brother sent someone to investigate, otherwise the Yuan family would have completely fallen into his trap this time.
.”
Yuan Lu's eyes widened, "Does that mean he knew Xiao'er was going to kill him last night?"
Yuan Chu nodded, "I think so, he has prepared a trap in advance for Xiao'er to step into."
Yuan Jin felt a chill on his back. This young man was so terrifying. He couldn't help but ask, "Father, what grudge does Xiao'er have against him?"
Yuan Xuanhu has now come to his senses. He was also deceived by his grandson. It must be an excuse to avenge his brother. It should be a personal grudge.
Yuan Xuanhu sighed and said: "Xiao'er said he wanted to avenge his brother. Now that I think about it, he also deceived me. If he had evidence, would Jingzhao Mansion not give the Yuan family face? He and Guo Song must be different people.
What kind of personal grudge, I don’t know the details.”
Yuan Chu said with disdain: "What grudges does he have? It's just fighting for women."
Yuan Jin's face darkened. He was about to have an attack, but then he fell into depression. His three sons were better, the elder brother, the second and third sons were not up to par, the third son was the devil, and the reputation of the second son had long spread throughout the capital.
, everyone calls him Mr. Yujian, but actually he means something else.
At this time, Yuan Lu said impatiently: "It's useless to talk about this now. The key is what should we do? How to clean up the situation, and whether Guo Song wants to clean up him. If he wants to clean up him, I will send someone to do it."
Already."
The three brothers all looked at their father. Yuan Xuanhu hesitated for a long time and said: "Guo Song is a poisonous snake and a fierce tiger. Don't take action easily if you are not absolutely sure, as it is easy for him to bite you back. But we must avenge this, you remember."
Stay here, a gentleman will take revenge, it’s never too late in ten years!”
The three brothers nodded together. Their father was right. It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years.
Yuan Xuanhu said again: "The emperor wrote a statement saying that Liu Qi and Liu Ba were bribed by others. The Yuan family found two thousand taels of gold in their rooms. Someone blamed the Yuan family."
"Will the emperor believe it?" Yuan Jin asked.
Yuan Xuanhu nodded, "I think the emperor should believe that if the Yuan family really wants to assassinate the prince, they will never use their own warriors. Just like what Lao San said just now, the prince is just using this incident as an excuse."
Yuan Jin immediately said: "I will make arrangements today. Early tomorrow morning, I will write to the emperor to explain the situation."
...........
However, the Yuan and Jin Dynasties did not see the emperor. Early the next morning, news came from the court that the emperor was ill and had to suspend morning court for three days.
The autumn rain has been continuous these days, the weather is cold, and many people are sick. The emperor has always been in poor health, and it is normal to feel sick.
Although Yuan and Jin stayed up all night and wrote the "Situation Statement", they handed it over and placed it in the emperor's study room, but he didn't know when the emperor would see it.
The Yuan and Jin Dynasties had no choice but to go to Guanglu Temple to take office in despair.
Guo Song was not in the capital for the past two days. He and Zhang Lei were hunting in Jingyang County with more than a dozen followers. The reason why they went out to hunt was because Guo Song told Li Wenyu yesterday morning that Zhang Lei was raising a wife from another house.
.
Li Wenyu expressed her position to Guo Song that if the other party has her husband's children, she can accept her as a sister. After all, Zhang Lei has no brothers and sisters. It is her responsibility as a wife to have more children. She understands the righteousness and makes Guo Song very happy.
move.
Zhang Lei knew the nature of his wife so well that he didn't dare to show up. Guo Song also persuaded him to trust his wife. However, at noon, Guo Song went to the West Market again and saw Li Wenyu searching everywhere in the West Market with a sword. He was very angry and frightened.
Guo Song was covered in cold sweat.
In fact, Zhang Lei just wanted Guo Song to tell his wife about this matter, but he had experience in how to deal with his wife's raging anger. He could not afford to offend her and could hide. As long as he hid for a few days, his wife would slowly calm down and face him.
Regarding reality, consider the conditions.
The area around Jingyang County is a traditional hunting area. Both sides of the Jingshui River are covered with dense forests and there are many game animals, not to mention pheasants and hares. You can encounter all kinds of deer, deer, badgers, bears, foxes, and wild boars, and you can even encounter them.
Leopards and tigers.
Guo Song and Zhang Lei walked side by side. Seeing that his senior brother was unhappy, Guo Song advised him: "Since you felt sorry for your wife, you should have taken control of your lower body at the beginning. Now that you have done it, then face the reality."
, now that senior sister is pregnant for several months, it is even more impossible for her to just walk away, and she still has a couple of children, so just let her vent her anger, and things will eventually be over."
"Maybe!"
Guo Song laughed again and said: "How about you stab yourself with a sword and hurt yourself more seriously? If your wife softens her heart, she will spare you."
Zhang Lei blinked his little eyes, "What if she has spared me and I stabbed myself, wouldn't it be in vain?"
Guo Song rolled his eyes. He suddenly had a strong feeling that this kind of guy should be punished severely, and he shouldn't intercede for him.
At this time, several deer ran out of the woods. Everyone was overjoyed and rushed to chase them. Zhang Lei shouted: "Junior brother, you must leave it to me this time and let me kill them!"
Guo Song had just unfurled his bow and nocked an arrow. When he heard these words, his bow string loosened again, and he slowed down his horse, allowing Zhang Lei to catch up.
"Your Majesty, today's harvest is not bad!" His follower Yang Jun said with a smile.
Yang Jun is from the town at the foot of Kongtong Mountain. He has been following Guo Song for several years. He is a very smart young man.
The hunting harvest in the past two days was indeed rich. We caught more than a dozen deer, seven or eight deer, two wild boars, hares, and pheasants. Even the fierce men circling above Guo Song's head were tired of eating rabbit meat.
"That's almost it. We'll camp overnight and go back early tomorrow morning."
At this time, the Mengzi hovering over the woods suddenly screamed rapidly, and then the low roar of the wild beast was heard.
"not good!"
Guo Song's expression changed, and he urged his horse to run towards the woods. From a distance, he heard his senior brother's scream, "Junior brother, save me!"
Guo Song was so anxious that he galloped on his horse. He met a follower who ran towards him and shouted: "Your Majesty, the proprietor has encountered a leopard."
"Where? Take me there quickly."
The entourage led Guo Song and ran quickly. They saw a spotted leopard biting Zhang Lei's arm next to a big tree, trying to bite his throat off. Zhang Lei hugged the big tree and tried to dodge to prevent the leopard from biting him.
Hit yourself in the throat.
The two bodyguards waved their swords and yelled, trying to take back their boss, but the leopard refused to let go.
"let me!"
When Guo Song said something, he jumped up from his horse and stabbed the leopard with his long sword. Seeing the fierceness of the opponent, the spotted leopard let go of Zhang Lei, stood up and struck Guo Song with his forepaws. Guo Song jumped in mid-air.
He kicked his feet towards the big tree, his body changed from falling to leaping forward, and he swung out his black sword. This sword hit the back of the leopard's head, and the bones were clearly visible.
The spotted leopard rolled over in pain. It glanced at Guo Song in fear and ran away decisively into the depths of the forest. The instinctive warning of this beast is very strong. If it feels that the opponent is powerful enough to threaten its life, it will immediately run away.
"Senior brother, are you okay?" Guo Song didn't care about chasing the leopard and quickly supported his senior brother and asked.
"You're such a crow, you said I was going to get a sword, and now you're really here."
Zhang Lei was covered in blood. He mumbled and fainted.
Guo Song hurriedly took out the medicine to stop the bleeding, and shouted to the two guards: "Carry him out together, don't touch his arms."
Everyone carried Zhang Lei out together. The muscles of Zhang Lei's right arm were torn, and the bones were faintly visible. The injury was very serious.
They had no time to rush back to the capital and rushed directly to Jingyang County, which was several miles away.
