Chapter 336 Yuan Xi's Choice
When Yuan Tan heard about this question, Yuan Xi said angrily: "My brother went to Yuan Cai's mansion to reminisce about the past and to inquire about his father's whereabouts."
Although Yuan Tan had long imagined countless reasons that Yuan Xi might have said and had thought about the questions that should be asked next. But when he heard him go to the high-ranking cadre's residence to find out Yuan Shao's whereabouts, his expression stiffened. After a long time, he asked embarrassedly: "Second brother, do you know what news you have found?"
Yuan Xi shook his head first, then nodded: "I didn't find out the specific news. I only knew that my father first went to Shouchun to join his uncle, and had an argument with him, so he left in anger. Later, he might have gone to Jingzhou. Didn't Xu You and Xu Ziyuan just take people to Jingzhou to find his father?"
Speaking of this, Yuan Xi looked up at Yuan Tan and said, "Brother, your father is missing now, but you are anxious to compete with Xianfu for the position of prefect of Bohai, but you ignore your father's life and death. Is this what your children should do? How sad he would be if his father knew what you did."
In an era when filial piety is the first priority, even if you are in a high position and powerful position, as long as you gain a reputation of unfiliality, you will be almost done, and even your loyal subordinates may be betrayed. Yuan Xi's words immediately left Yuan Tan and Guo Tu speechless.
After a long time, Guo Tu spoke to break the silence in the house: "The second young master, although there are rumors that the lord is in Jingzhou, it is difficult to distinguish the truth or falsehood of this news. In addition, Gongsun Zan has been eyeing Bohai County, so after learning about the whereabouts of his lord, only Xu Ziyuan rushed to Jingzhou to find his lord's whereabouts."
Yuan Xi had already considered it on the way back. He decided to leave the circle of right and wrong in front of him and take people to Jingzhou to find Yuan Shao's whereabouts. As for who is the prefect of Bohai, it has nothing to do with him. He stood up and said to Yuan Tan, "Brother, I have decided. Even if my father's affairs in Jingzhou are just a rumor, I will confirm it myself." After that, he turned to Guo Tu, "Mr., I wonder if I can borrow a team of troops for me and accompany me to Jingzhou to find my father?"
Guo Tu's face showed a embarrassed expression on Yuan Xi's request. He quickly turned his head and looked at Yuan Tan, and cast a look for help at him, hoping to get instructions from him.
Yuan Tan was particularly embarrassed to learn that Yuan Xi would travel thousands of miles to Jingzhou to find Yuan Shao's whereabouts. Because if Yuan Xi left and his eldest son was still staying in Nanpi, it might cause criticism from others. However, this is an important moment to fight for power with Yuan Shang. If he left rashly and when he came back, his confidants in Nanpi City might be cleansed up by Yuan Shang.
It was precisely for this reason that he turned a blind eye to the gaze that Guo Tu was cast. Instead, he walked back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back, thinking quickly in his mind whether he should stay and continue to fight for power with Yuan Shang; or let go of everything and go to Jingzhou with Yuan Xi to find his father's whereabouts.
After repeated thinking, the idea of fighting for the position of prefect still gained the upper hand. He thought to himself that with his father's love for Yuan Shang, even if he and Yuan Xi welcomed him back from Jingzhou, the future prefect of Bohai would still be Yuan Shang's, and he would be just a wedding dress for others.
"Big Young Master!" Guo Tu couldn't help but feel anxious when he saw Yuan Tan not speaking for a long time, so he shouted in a low voice, "I wonder what you plan?"
