Chapter 326 Yuan Shao bows his head
Shouchun City, inside the imperial palace.
After seeing the soldiers in the city in chaos from afar in the hall, Yuan Shu realized that something might have happened to Ji Ling.
The maids and eunuchs in the palace were all carrying their valuables and preparing to flee. Everyone was in a panic, and many of the guards were killing and robbing at will.
Yuan Shu just watched this scene quietly, as if he had been prepared for it.
With an indifferent expression and a light sigh, Yuan Shu slowly came to the Weiyang Palace. Looking at the empty hall and the lofty, magnificent dragon throne, he smiled self-deprecatingly.
"The imperial ambition is nothing but a fleeting dream. I've had enough of this dream. It's time to wake up."
He picked up a jar of fine wine from the pile that had been prepared on both sides of the hall, walked step by step to the dragon throne, picked up the wine glass in front of him, and filled himself with wine.
He raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
It tasted spicy and bitter, but Yuan Shu smiled.
He casually threw the wine jar to the ground, and as the jar broke, countless wine splashed out.
Yuan Shu seemed to be drunk. He held a wine glass in one hand and the imperial seal in the other. He staggered down from the dragon throne and kicked the wine jars around him into pieces one by one.
The rich aroma of wine immediately filled the entire palace. There was so much wine that the liquid on the stone slab accumulated to a height of two fingers.
"Hahaha! Hahaha!"
Yuan Shu laughed wildly, his eyes full of madness and determination.
He scooped a mouthful of wine from the ground with the wine glass and drank it again. Then, Yuan Shu threw the wine glass directly to the ground and took out a flint from his arms.
Just as he was about to set the palace on fire.
A burst of hurried horse hoof sounds was heard, and Yuan Shao, dressed in military uniform, rode his horse directly through the palace gate. Looking at the situation in the palace, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Before Yuan Shu could react, he grabbed Yuan Shu onto his horse and rode out of the palace.
Yuan Shu struggled to break free, but was held down by Yuan Shao.
Although Yuan Shao's martial arts skills were relatively average, he was much better than Yuan Shu, who had been pampered since childhood, and he easily suppressed him.
"Everyone, leave this place and surround the area. Anyone who dares to spy or get close will be killed without mercy!" Yuan Shao calmly stopped Yuan Shu and said to Yan Liang, Wen Chou and others.
"promise!"
After everyone left, Yuan Shao put the struggling Yuan Shu to the ground.
Yuan Shu looked at Yuan Shao with a complicated expression, and without hesitation drew the sword from his waist and was about to commit suicide.
Yuan Shao stretched out his hand and grasped the sword without hesitation. Bright red blood immediately flowed all over the ground, but his expression remained unchanged.
Yuan Shu looked at the scene with a dull look.
"coward!"
He snatched the sword from Yuan Shu's hand, threw it hard on the ground, and cursed angrily.
"Yuan Benchu!"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Shu looked at Yuan Shao viciously, with a look of desire to devour him. He picked up the sword from the ground and stabbed at Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao snorted coldly, drew his sword from his waist and fought back.
The two of them started hacking and killing each other.
Although Yuan Shao was better at martial arts, he was injured on his hand after all, and Yuan Shu was killing madly without caring about his own life at all. Both of them soon had many scars on their bodies.
At this moment, the two seemed to have returned to their childhood.
I still remember that at that time, they couldn't stand each other and often fought with each other, even using wooden swords.
After fighting for a long time, Yuan Shu, whose body was corrupted by beauty, was finally unable to keep up. Yuan Shao took the opportunity to knock his sword away again, and he sat on the ground helplessly. Panting and looking at Yuan Shao, whose face was as calm as before, Yuan Shu said with reluctance and hatred: "You win!"
Yuan Shao put his sword back to his waist and sat opposite Yuan Shu. He looked at his brother, who used to be extremely defensive and resentful, and touched the wound on his hand. He said calmly, "Are you relieved?"
"I won't feel relieved if I don't kill you." Yuan Shu snorted coldly.
"You are always like this, refusing to admit defeat and refusing to bow your head." Yuan Shao sighed.
"So what? Aren't you the same?" Yuan Shu said disdainfully.
This is the character of the Yuan family. Otherwise, with their current status, why would they bother to take this chance? They could just sit back and watch, waiting for the new emperor to ascend the throne and continue to be the head of their family.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Shao smiled faintly, stood up solemnly, and bowed to Yuan Shu.
"You... why are you doing this?" Yuan Shu looked at Yuan Shao in disbelief and shock.
"Gong Lu, I need you! I don't want to lose!" Yuan Shao said solemnly.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Shu quickly understood what was going on and taunted, "It's rare that you, Yuan Benchu, are willing to bow down to a defeated general like me! It seems that Tian Chengshou has brought you a lot of pressure!"
Yuan Shao nodded in disbelief: "That's right, I'm afraid it's hard for me to defeat Tian Chengshou now, I need your strength!"
Yuan Shu smiled coldly: "You brought a few idiots to destroy my Dacheng, and then told me that you need my strength. Yuan Benchu, don't you think it's ridiculous?"
"It's really ridiculous." Yuan Shao said bluntly, "But this is the only way. Otherwise, both you and I will be defeated by Tian Chengshou."
"Although you are very capable, you are not suitable to be the leader of a region. And the situation is like this, I can only choose to destroy your great achievement first."
"Even if I don't take action, the other three princes will do so. By then, the situation will be even more difficult to handle."
Hearing Yuan Shao's objective comments, Yuan Shu clenched his fists slightly, his face full of indignation.
"Why should I help you? Help your lifelong enemy?"
"I'd rather you lose to Tian Chengshou!"
Yuan Shao looked at Yuan Shu with a sharp gaze and said, "Because we all have the surname Yuan, the Runan Yuan family will not bow to anyone else."
Hearing Yuan Shao's words, Yuan Shu's eyes trembled slightly, but he said nothing.
Seeing this, Yuan Shao said solemnly: "I can lose Gonglu, but the Runan Yuan family cannot lose! For the sake of the family, please lend me a helping hand!"
After saying this, Yuan Shao knelt down on the ground and bowed to Yuan Shu.
At this moment, he let go of everything and had only one thought in his mind, which was to win!
Yuan Shu's eyes widened as he looked at his once extremely proud brother in such a posture, and his mind went blank.
In the past, Yuan Shao was always so arrogant. Even though he was kind to others, he unconsciously had a sense of alienation from the top down.
He hated Yuan Shao's attitude the most and had imagined countless times the scene of Yuan Shao kneeling at his feet.
But now that it was really like this, he was confused.
The scene was silent for a moment.
No one could see this scene.
Yan Liang, Wen Chou and others who were guarding outside the palace wall looked around vigilantly, not daring to disturb Yuan Shao's "big business" at all.
"Tian Chengshou, is he really that strong?"
After a long time, Yuan Shu asked a question.
