If Ao Lie knew that the Zhen family valued the etiquette among literati very much, if Ao Lie knew that Zhen Mi grew up in a strong atmosphere of classics, history, and literature, if Ao Lie knew that Zhen Mi gave the true meaning of the silk handkerchief as a return gift, then Ao Lie would not accept Zhen Mi's silk handkerchief. Unfortunately, Ao Lie didn't know any of these things. So Ao Lie just pondered for a moment, and then calmly accepted Zhen Mi's return gift.

In the Han Dynasty, there was an unwritten rule between literati. If men and men gave each other poems and essays, it contained the meaning of making a golden orchid, and it was the same as escorting magic weapons between warriors. But if men and women gave each other poems, or men recited poems and essays alone, it means that the man loved the woman. If the woman who received the poems and essays would give her a poem and essay to determine the relationship between the two.

At the beginning, Zhen Mi had no good feelings for Ao Lie, thinking that Ao Lie and Yuan Shao were birds of a feather, and they were all trying to plan the Zhen family's huge amount of money. Later, after Zhen Yi's explanation, Zhen Mi had a more intuitive understanding of Ao Lie and essentially distinguished Ao Lie and Yuan Shao. Later, Zhen Mi was teased by Yuan Xi on the street. Fortunately, Zhang Liao gave a helping hand, which saved Zhen Mi from being affected by Yuan Xi's claws. A glimpse of it shows that Ao Lie would naturally not be too bad if he had a righteous and bold subordinate like Zhang Liao, which further deepened his impression of Ao Lie.

Later, after Zhen Mi returned home and told her father and brother about this, her father and two brothers also felt a lot. They told Ao Lie a lot about Ao Lie's deeds, captured Wuhuan Qiao King alive and made three rules, defeated more than 100,000 Yellow Turbans in Wancheng with thousands of people, returned to Youzhou to quickly quell Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun's rebellion, supported the alliance to fight against Dong with his own strength, sneaked into Luoyang alone to assassinate Dong Zhuo, killed generals and flags to achieve the feat of killing thousands of people, etc., and everything made Zhen Mi feel earth-shaking. These things are not a real man or a great hero. From this time, Zhen Mi had a faint feeling of indescribable favor towards Ao Lie.

Until just now, Ao Lie accidentally said polite words to Zhen Yao that he liked Zhen Mi, which made Zhen Mi's heart ripples. The likes Ao Lie's mouth were naturally not what Zhen Mi imagined, but the key was that Zhen Mi thought it was what he imagined! In addition, later, Ao Lie recited a humble room inscription casually, which made Zhen Mi realize that while Ao Lie was extraordinary, he also had a different kind of elegant talent. Various factors were superimposed together, which made Zhen Mi's heart unconsciously appear in his heart, and soon occupied Zhen Mi's heart.

Seeing Ao Lie accepting his silk squid, Zhen Mi smiled sweetly again, then ran out with a red face. Zhen Mi's movements woke Zhen Yao, who was immersed in the artistic conception of the humble room, he looked at Zhen Mi's back curiously, then turned his head to see the silk squid in Ao Lie's hand, and then suddenly realized that his little sister had fallen in love with Ao Lie! However, Ao Lie is a rare hero and deserves the title of a great hero in the world. He has always been talking about with his little sister, but he is very consistent with his mate selection criteria.

After cheering Zhen Mi in his heart, Zhen Yao turned the topic on the right track: "Junhou, this time I came here, I was ordered by my father to discuss cooperation with Junhou. My father's identity is too eye-catching, so I am not convenient to come in person. I hope you will understand." After the incident where Zhen Mi was almost teased by Yuan Xi in the morning, everyone in the Zhen family was full of anger. No one was willing to follow Yuan Shao anymore, and they unanimously believed that cooperating with Ao Lie and moving to Yanjing was the right choice.

Ao Lie was overjoyed when he heard this, and called Zhen Yao to sit down and carefully negotiate various cooperation matters between the two parties. After more than an hour, the two reached an agreement. The Zhen family will transfer money and materials within three days, and then they will start to transport them to Yanjing in batches in secret. At that time, Ao Lie will send Gu Yong to receive the Zhen family through the transmission of Shadow personnel. Arrange the necessary venues for the Zhen family. In return, the Zhen family will give up 20% of the dividends to Ao Lie. In modern terms, Ao Lie used the venue to invest in 20% of the shares of the Zhen chamber of commerce, but he must not interfere with the business behavior of the Zhen chamber of commerce. In terms of specific cooperation methods, the two also reached a consensus that in addition to salt and metal, the Zhen family can buy and sell any materials in Yougong territory, but cannot have direct conflict with the goods already developed by the Wantong Chamber of commerce.

In terms of taxation, the conditions offered by Ao Lie to the Zhen family are as cheap as the Wantong Chamber of Commerce. The Zhen Chamber of Commerce only needs to pay a little insignificant every year, or even formal taxes. For the powerful Zhen Chamber of Commerce, such a tax amount is a drop in the bucket, but for Ao Lie, this amount of money will also have a considerable effect if it is planned properly. This has been proven by practice in the Wantong Chamber of Commerce, which is also low in taxation.

After everything was agreed, Zhen Yao said goodbye to Ao Lie and went back to report to his father Zhen Yi. Before leaving, Zhen Yao solemnly told Ao Lie that three days later, Zhen Yi wanted to see Ao Lie again at the Guigu Temple and asked Ao Lie to go. In response, Ao Lie agreed happily. After sending Zhen Yao away, Ao Lie couldn't help but thank the second-generation ancestor Yuan Xilai again. If it weren't for Yuan Xi's rambling in the morning, Zhen Yi would never have agreed to move to Yanjing so happily and sent his son to negotiate terms with Ao Lie. The initiator of the incident was Yuan Xi.

When you think of Yuan Xi, you will naturally think of Yuan Shao. Ao Lie sneered in his heart, raised his head and looked towards the direction of the Zhongzhou Muslim Mansion in Yecheng, and whispered coldly: "Yuan Benchu, you joined forces with all the princes to ambush someone, which caused Shang Xiang to almost die, kill her blood, and more than 10,000 brothers from the Tiger and Ben army buried their bones in a foreign land. We should also calculate the account..."

That night, Shadow No. 13 sneaked into Ao Lie's room and reported various details of the Yuan army's granary in the north of the city to Ao Lie. Ao Lie did not sleep all night and formulated a plan to burn the granary overnight. In this plan, Ao Lie did not count the combat power of Shadow members. Compared to burning a granary, it is important to let Shadow members continue to lurk in Yecheng to spy on news. Ao Lie did not want to expose Shadow members to Yuan Shao in order to burn the granary. Shadow is Ao Lie's thousand-mile eyes, and the wind ears are there. There are no more than ten people who know the existence of Shadows in the world, including Wei Yan, who has only a few comprehension. Shadows are secret weapons in Ao Lie's hands, and Ao Lie will never make them public.

At the same time, Yecheng Prefecture's Palace.

Yuan Shao shouted furiously: "Waste! A bunch of waste! In broad daylight, Xianyi can still evaporate in the world?!" Yuan Shao has a problem. The younger his son, the more he is, the more he is. In history, because Yuan Shao's youngest son, Yuan Mai, was sick, Yuan Shao was in a mess and gave up the strategy of working with Liu Bei to attack Cao Cao, so that Cao Cao calmly defeated Liu Bei, and then turned to deal with Yuan Shao with all his strength. Now Yuan Shao has just entered Jizhou, and there are not as many concubines as he later. There are only three sons of Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang. Yuan Shang is still young, and Yuan Shao's doting towards Yuan Xi has not been completely transferred to Yuan Shang. This is also the main reason why Yuan Xi developed the style of the second generation ancestor.

Now, learning that Yuan Xi has never come back since he left in the morning, Yuan Shao was very worried. In the hall, Shen Pei, who escaped by chance in the battle in Shaxian, said cautiously: "Lord, I heard that Tian Yuanhao had met the second young master in the morning, and then invited the second young master to his mansion together. He went to Tian Mansion to inquire, but people in Tian Mansion said that Tian Yuanhao had never returned since he left in the morning." The reason why Shen Pei was able to get such distorted news is naturally a shadow.

Credit. In the morning, after Zhang Liao took Yuan Xi and Tian Feng away, the Shadow members lurking in Ye City spontaneously took action and handled the bodies of more than a dozen servants around Yuan Xi in a very concealed manner. Then, according to Ao Lie's order, they bribed the witnesses of the entire incident with a large sum of money. The witnesses were moved by the money in the hands of the Shadow members. In addition, under Yuan Shao's moody power, they were afraid that Yuan Shao would chase him and take his anger on him, so they insisted that Tian Feng took Yuan Xi away.

After listening to the words of Shen Pei, Guo Tu, another counselor of Yuan Shao, stood up and said, "Lord, in my opinion, there is something strange about this. Even if the second young master follows Tian Feng, it is impossible to find out any news. I suspect that Tian Feng has a problem." Guo Tu is from Yingchuan and was originally deeply relied on Yuan Shao. Later, after Yuan Shao took over Jizhou, a large number of Hebei celebrities were valued. Guo Tu's status plummeted, which made him secretly resentful to the group of Hebei celebrities led by Tian Feng. Now that he has such an opportunity, Guo Tu immediately took advantage of the issue and poured dirty water on Tian Feng. Even if he can't force Tian Feng away, he will be willing to see it. Guo Tu's purpose is that even if he can't kill Tian Feng, he will be disgusted to him.

Shen Pei immediately objected: "Impossible! Tian Yuanhao is upright, how could he do something unfavorable to his lord! Guo Tu, do you have any evidence? If not, don't talk nonsense in front of his lord!"

Guo Tu glanced at Shen Pei, raised her chest and said, "I don't have any evidence. But I am loyal to my lord! Unlike Tian Feng, who repeatedly contradicted his lord, which made his lord furious. It is not that Tian Feng felt resentful after being scolded by his lord, and joined forces with outsiders to abduct the second lord! Otherwise, how can I explain the contradictory remarks of the people in the Tian Mansion and the witnesses?!"

Shen Pei was speechless by Guo Tu's argument, and could not find a powerful counterattack for a moment, so he fell silent. Although Guo Tu's argument was purely speculation, it was an indisputable fact that Tian Feng repeatedly contradicted Yuan Shao. Every time he made Yuan Shao furious and scolded Tian Feng so hard that he was very angry, with Tian Feng's straightforward personality, he also had some minor words.

Seeing that Shen Pei was speechless and Guo Tu's inference was reasonable and well-founded, Yuan Shao's face turned angrily, and he shouted angrily: "Investigate! Investigate this matter to the end! Start from the Tian Mansion, all those with suspicious points will be arrested and tortured. I don't believe that they will not tell the truth! Leave this matter to Zhang Junyi and find Xianyi as soon as possible. If there is no news in three days, let Zhang Junyi come to see you!"
