Chapter 161 Accepting Xun Yu

"You shit!" Cao Ren raised his spear and rushed towards Xun Yu, "Even if I die, I have to kill you bastard first!"

"Cao Ren!"

Suddenly, he heard someone calling him from behind, and when he turned around for a while, he saw a flash of cold light before his eyes, and in the next second, his head rolled to the ground.

The horse archers who took down Cao Ren and his henchmen without any effort rushed forward, surrounded Xun Yu with three layers inside and three layers outside.

Yan Liang stepped forward on his horse, and said coldly: "Take down the bandit leader Xun Yu, and take him to General Hussars!"

Xun Yu sighed, dismounted from his horse, and waited for the upcoming trial.

Based on what he has done, even if he does not punish the Nine Clans, it is absolutely indispensable to show his head to the public.

That's all, that's all!
"General Yan, wait a minute!" It was Yuan Ke's voice.

Yan Liang was taken aback, and asked in surprise: "General, why are you here?"

Yuan Ke said with a smile: "If I don't come, Mr. Xun will be arrested by you?"

"He first set up an ambush at the banquet, intending to kill you, and then colluded with the rebels, intending to capture Xudu, shouldn't he be killed?" Yan Liang said indignantly.

"Mr. Xun did go astray and almost caused a catastrophe," Yuan Ke said unhurriedly, "but he has already turned to the light."

"Is this...really?" Yan Liang couldn't believe it.

"Can I still lie to you?" Yuan Ke smiled, "If Mr. Xun hadn't tricked Cao Ren out, how could you have the opportunity to make great contributions and let Cao Ren die under your axe?"

"So it is!" Yan Liang suddenly realized, "Yan Liang is reckless, please don't blame Xun Gong!"

"Okay, this place is too close to the enemy camp, let's go back quickly! What do you think, Mr. Xun?" Yuan Ke asked.

Xun Yu remained silent, mounted his horse and followed them all the way to the city of Xudu.When he saw the plaque of Pingcheng Gate hanging high, a complex emotion of regret, resentment and shame welled up in his heart, preventing him from going any further.

Yuan Ke could see what he was thinking from the expression on his face, so he said to Yan Liang and the others: "General Yan, you go into the city, I still have something to deal with."

After that, he smiled at Xun Yu and said, "Xu Du's spirit is all in Songshan, how about going to see it together?"

Without waiting for Xun Yu to open his mouth, he clamped his horse's belly and rode away to the north.

Xun Yu had no choice but to follow.

They rode for about a quarter of an hour, and the majestic green hills appeared in front of their eyes.

Xun Yu heaved a sigh of relief, holding the rein tightly with slightly sweaty palms.

"Why did the general do this?" He asked softly.

Yuan Ke was standing at the foot of the mountain, looking up at the flickering starlight on the top of the mountain. Hearing Xun Yu's question, he turned around and said, "What's wrong with me?"

Xun Yu said: "Cao Ren was not lured out by me, he came to hunt and kill me...Why are you telling lies to General Yan?"

"Aside from saving your life, is there any other reason?" Yuan Ke said seriously, "I want to ask you, when I first met you, didn't you have something to say? Why did you want to kill me?" ?”

Xun Yu sighed and said, "I was Yuan Gong's counselor, and then I left Yuan and went to Cao Cao. If I turn to Yuan's family again, what will the world think of me? How can I, Xun Yu, stand between heaven and earth? Why not?" Going to Huangquan with the whole family, it's quiet."

Yuan Ke was noncommittal, but greeted him: "Come here."

Xun Yu walked forward slowly, but before he could gain a foothold, Yuan Ke slapped him hard!

"This slap, I slapped you on behalf of the soldiers and people who defended the city of Xu. Because of your mistake, tens of thousands of people were killed or injured in the city, and how many parents lost their children, and how many wives lost their husbands! This crime, you I can't redeem it for a lifetime!"

Xun Yu was silent for a while, and then said: "The general is right! Xun Yu should be rewarded."

Snapped!
Another slap landed on his face.

"This slap is to wake you up!" Yuan Ke said sharply, "You think you are the best in the world, and you sacrificed tens of thousands of lives in order to protect yourself and your reputation for the rest of your life, but what did you get in the end? No? Was it defeated by me? By the way, there is one more thing I want to tell you, I did not kill the members of the Xun family, they are still alive and well!"

After hearing these words, Xun Yu collapsed to the ground as if struck by lightning.He finally lowered his haughty head completely, and murmured: "General...General, at such a young age, he can actually understand human nature so well! I, Xun Yu, are completely convinced...Your Highness will deal with you..."

Yuan Ke sighed, and said: "Mr. Xun, your talent is indeed one in a million. I can't bear to kill you, but I'm afraid that even the capital city won't be able to accommodate you. I have a letter here, and you should take it with you now. Go to Hebei to meet my father."

Xun Yu took the letter, bowed deeply, and said in a trembling voice, "Xun Yu thanked the general for not killing him!"

Yuan Ke helped him up, and said softly: "You settle down with my father for the time being. He defeated Cao Cao and is in high spirits. He won't make things difficult for you."

Xun Yu seemed to hesitate for a moment, but said nothing, got on his horse, turned around and left.

At night, Xu Ducheng returned to his usual silence, as if the noise these days was just an illusion in his own memory.As the sound of horseshoes faded away, only the sound of the wind remained in his ears.

"It's finally over..." Yuan Ke raised his head and closed his eyes, letting the cool night breeze blow over his hair and face, enjoying this rare moment of silence.At this moment, he somewhat wished that time would stop here, leaving only him and the rustling wind.

At this moment, he heard a series of hoofbeats, so he reluctantly opened his eyes, facing the familiar face.

"Mr. Xun?" Yuan Ke said in surprise, "Why are you back?"

Xun Yu reined in the reins and said, "Some things, after thinking about it, I still think I should tell the general, otherwise it might be bad for the general."

Seeing Xun Yu go and come back, Yuan Ke had a serious face, so he knew that what he had to say was serious, so he cupped his hands immediately: "Please enlighten me, Mr. Xun."

"From what the general said just now, it seems that he intends to return to Hebei, right?" Xun Yu asked.

Yuan Ke nodded and said, "That's right, I've been here for a long time, it's time to go back and see my mother."

"That's the problem." Xun Yu walked up to him and said softly, "The general killed Cao Cao first, and then repelled Cao Ren and Xu Huang's siege of Xudu. This is the best opportunity to go further.”

Yuan Ke's heart moved, and he immediately understood what he meant, and expressed his worries: "However, Xudu is too far away from Yecheng, if someone hides from me about important matters, it will be very disadvantageous to me! "
