"Where's Xiangping City?" Li Shuyi asked.
Bai Xiaowen briefly searched for the information in his memory. "It's also in Youzhou, Liaodong. Speaking of which, it's not far from Beiping City, where the Youzhou Provincial Governor's Office is located. "
"Oh …" Li Shuyi nodded and said worriedly, "Our missions are all in Youzhou, but now we have to go to Jizhou and waste time … Alas, I don't know if we have enough time to complete the mission."
Bai Xiaowen laughed. "Who said that going to Jizhou is a waste of time?"
…
That evening, Bai Xiaowen, who was wrapped in snow in his leather robe, led ten cavalrymen to Ye City.
The city gate of Ye City was already closed.
"Open the gate!" Bai Xiaowen raised a torch and shouted.
"Who are you?" The guard stood on top of the city gate and shouted as well.
"I'm the Youzhou Provincial Governor, Yuan Xi!"
The guard was startled and said, "Do you have any proof?"
"The Youzhou Provincial Governor's Seal is here!" Bai Xiaowen took out the Youzhou Provincial Governor's Seal from his bag.
A hanging basket hung down from the city gate and quickly hung the Youzhou Provincial Governor's Seal.
After the guard checked it, he didn't open the gate immediately. Instead, he hung the Youzhou Provincial Governor's Seal and said, "It's late and the light is dim. It's hard to verify its authenticity! Please camp outside the city for the night. We'll open the gate early tomorrow morning! "
Before Bai Xiaowen could say anything, the ten cavalrymen behind him began to scold him.
Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes. This guard seemed to be deliberately making things difficult for him.
With a clang, Bai Xiaowen drew his sword (transformed by the rules of the Spiritual Realm) and shouted, "I'm the Youzhou Provincial Governor, the son of the Great General. I've been ordered to return to my hometown to visit my family. Since you've checked the Youzhou Provincial Governor's Seal, how dare you stop me? Are you trying to bully my sword? "
Under the light of the torch, the guard felt fear when he saw Bai Xiaowen's majestic aura.
After a moment of hesitation, the guard gave in. "Second Young Master, please wait for a moment. This lowly one is under Third Young Master's orders to strictly guard the city and not let unrelated people into the city. That's why this lowly one dares to stop you. Since Second Young Master is here, I will open the door. "
With a creak, the drawbridge was lowered. Bai Xiaowen snorted and rode into the city, followed by ten cavalrymen.
After entering the city, the murderous aura on Bai Xiaowen's face disappeared without a trace. Facing the somewhat uneasy gatekeeper, Bai Xiaowen said, "Guarding the gate is your duty, I won't blame you. However, if you still want to stop me after checking the seal, then that's your fault. Since it's your first offense, I'll forgive you for now. If there's a next time, you'll be executed without mercy! "
The guard guard wiped his sweat as he watched Bai Xiaowen's dozen riders enter Middle Street and leave. He muttered in his heart, 'When did Second Young Master become so dignified?' He was actually the same as the Great General, making people unable to think of disobeying him.
Not to mention the lieutenant guarding the gate, the ten elite cavalrymen following Bai Xiaowen were also slightly shocked in their hearts.
It was rare for Bai Xiaowen to give up his comfortable carriage and ride in the snow to travel with them. Now, he was angrily scolding the guard guard in front of the city gate. His domineering style was completely different from the usual Second Young Master.
Bai Xiaowen wasn't afraid that others would think his behavior was abnormal. The Three Kingdoms were different from the fantasy world of the West. They didn't know much about "other worlds." Basically, no one would think of the possibility that Yuan Xi had been "transmigrated."
Especially his acquaintances in Ye City. They hadn't seen Yuan Xi for three months. It wasn't hard to explain the change in Second Young Master Yuan's temperament.
Bai Xiaowen didn't even change his clothes and directly entered the Great General's Mansion. While waiting for the announcement, he opened the peony leaf painting and muttered a few lines of poetry. Li Shuyi secretly curled his lips.
It was about time to light the lanterns and Madam Liu hadn't gone to bed yet. When he heard that Second Young Master Yuan had arrived, he called Bai Xiaowen in for a chat.
"Child, why are you covered in snow and mud? You're in such a sorry state!" Madam Liu was shocked when she saw "Yuan Xi."
Bai Xiaowen followed the etiquette of the Han Dynasty and bowed to his birth mother, Madam Liu.
He said, "I set out to visit Mother yesterday. Unexpectedly, I got sick on the way and fell into a coma for half a day. When I woke up today, I saw that the date was approaching. I was so anxious that I rushed over with my men. I didn't clean myself up and didn't bring any gifts for Mother. Please forgive me for being disrespectful to Mother! "
"Sigh … you child!" Madam Liu didn't like her second son very much. For some reason, she felt that he was very pleasing to the eye today.
When she saw that Bai Xiaowen's forehead was covered in sweat mixed with snow, Madam Liu was worried that he would fall sick. She quickly ordered four servants to help Bai Xiaowen bathe and change his clothes.
After taking a bath, Bai Xiaowen changed into an illusionary appearance, which made him look even more refined. Even his slightly above average appearance, which he had inherited from Yuan Xi, was enhanced by his temperament, making him look even more handsome.
When he went to see Madam Liu again, there were already a few more people in the hall.
Bai Xiaowen saw his cheap wife, Zhen Mi, at first glance.
Zhen Mi was too dazzling. She stood quietly behind Madam Liu. Although she wasn't in the center position, she overshadowed Madam Liu, who was in the center position.
Her forehead was exposed by her coiled snake bun. As the saying goes, men are afraid of showing their heads, while women are afraid of showing their foreheads. Logically speaking, this kind of hairstyle without bangs could easily make a beauty lose a level of beauty. However, Zhen Mi was beautiful from all angles.
Bai Xiaowen had strong self-control. His gaze only flickered before sliding past Zhen Mi's face and sweeping across the hall.
Other than Madam Liu, there was also a young man and a young man in the hall. They were both dressed in luxurious clothing and had a trace of arrogance.
Needless to say, Bai Xiaowen knew that these two must be his cheap brothers. The eldest, Yuan Tan, and the third, Yuan Shang.
"Second Brother, why are you only here now? I arrived in Ye City three days ago. "Yuan Shang chuckled and said," In the future, you have to be more attentive to Mother. If other people knew, they would think that there was some kind of barrier between you and Mother. "
Bai Xiaowen glanced at Yuan Shang. This fellow was indeed as described in the novel. He was quite good-looking. His looks were even better than Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi. Moreover, he had a certain amount of courage. No wonder Yuan Shao liked him the most. Even when the army went to war, Yuan Shao brought him along.
To Yuan Shang's surprise, Madam Liu spoke first, "Shang 'er, your second brother is sick, but he still rushed over to pay his respects to me. I know this filial piety of his. Don't say too much. "
Yuan Shang could only lower his head and agree.
Bai Xiaowen ridiculed in his heart. If Yuan Xi wasn't afraid that this grandson would misunderstand, why didn't she rush over in advance?
However, these words were not suitable to be said in front of Madam Liu. Otherwise, with Madam Liu's usual preference for Yuan Shang, if the two argued, the one who would suffer would only be Bai Xiaowen. Inherent views couldn't be changed in a short period of time by a person's image or superior charm.
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "Third Brother, you are right. However, Youzhou's affairs are important and Wuhuan and Xiangping are unstable. I could only put official matters first and rushed over after I finished my work. That's why I was late. Third Brother, you have always been with Father and have no worries. I dare not compare myself to you. "
