Yuan Tan walked into the workshop official hall and saw six large boxes, which were neatly piled up with golden cakes, glowing in the sun, making people dizzy, and they couldn't help but squint.

Sun Ce stood in the yard with his hands behind his back, admiring the yellow turbans. Hearing the footsteps, he looked back and smiled and said, "Brother Xiansi, I didn't expect you to be so valuable. I regret it now, I should have more."

Yuan Tan looked at the gold and felt a little warm. Although he knew that the gold would be as cold as the bricks on the ground, at least the color looked a little warm.

"If you are not satisfied with your suffering, you should stop at your right time."

Sun Ce laughed, patted Yuan Tan on the shoulder hard, and pulled him to the hall to sit down. Yuan Quan walked out with his maid, carrying the drinks. "When are you going to leave? I'll prepare a family dinner to see you off."

Yuan Tan bowed to greet him. "Thank you sister, but I still want to leave early. I have been disturbing here for a long time and I am so taken care of you. I may not have the chance to repay you. I can only pray for you during the New Year."

"So urgent?" Sun Ce was a little surprised. "If you don't sacrifice your ancestors, you'll leave? It'll take a few days."

"When you pass by Ruyang, you can sacrifice yourself. After the sacrifice, you will leave and will not go back to Gepi."

Sun Ce nodded to show his understanding. "Then should you go to Junyi Camp or go directly to Yecheng?"

Yuan Tan didn't say anything for a long time. He was not sure whether Yuan Shao could redeem him. Now he was coming so quickly that he was not prepared at all. Seeing that he didn't speak, Sun Ce said, "I suggest you go back to Yecheng."

"Why?"

"If you go to Junyi, if both father and son are captured by me, who will redeem people? If you return to Yecheng, if your father is captured by me, you will at least be willing to redeem people." Sun Ce waved his hand and told Yuan Tan not to be anxious. "Just, just kidding. There are two reasons for suggesting you go to Yecheng. One is that I don't want to be enemies with you again. I am lucky to defeat you last time, and I may not have this chance next time; the other is that no matter what, you are a captured person, and it is not auspicious. There are many taboos in the army. If your father loses a battle, vents his anger on you and kills you directly, wouldn't it be in vain for my efforts to save you?"

Yuan Tan thought for a moment. "The general is right, but an ominous person is indeed not suitable to go to the army. I'd better go back to Yecheng to think about my mistakes in the closed door."

"Just thinking about mistakes behind closed doors is not enough."

"Why?" Yuan Tan looked at Sun Ce in confusion. Sun Ce might have the intention of cheering him up and regaining power, but he thought it was impossible. Not to mention that his father Yuan Shao would not give him this opportunity, he was a captured person and would not have the face to command other people. If Sun Ce hopes that he will go back and form a situation where father and son compete for power, it would be too natural.

"Your father came to Junyi, and I was determined to take my life, and I was also determined to take his life. No one dared to say whether he could return to Yecheng. If I am lucky and win again, who will Hebei give it to? Your second brother Yuan Xianyi, or your unemployed third brother?"

Yuan Tan felt uneasy and smiled for a while and said, "General Sun, I think you are too worried. With this time, you might as well think more about how to cure people's hearts after defeat. After operating in Yuzhou for so many years, but in the end, he was unable to defend it. Besides, there are few people in the world who provide timely assistance and many people who take advantage of the situation. If you are defeated, many people will want to bite you."

Sun Ce laughed loudly and didn't think it was offensive. "Then you have to take power even more. If I am defeated and captured, you can repay me with favor."

Yuan Tan was so amused and laughed. Facing Sun Ce who was chatting and laughing, it was difficult for him to make him angry.

Sun Ce invited He Yong, Zhang Miao and others to hold a banquet to give Yuan Tan off, and then personally sent Yuan Tan to set up a trip. He did not send it too far, and gave the opportunity to He Yong and Li Xuan. He Yong and Yuan Tan had a similar relationship with Yuan Tan, and Li Xuan and Yuan Tan were cousins. There must be a lot of things to say between them, so that they would not be stuck in the middle, so that they could not speak freely.

After leaving Gebi Camp, He Yong and Yuan Tan walked side by side, speechless for a long time. After passing pavilions and pavilions, Yuan Tan stopped as he saw ten miles were about to end.

"Mr. He, let's go here. I can't always receive education in front of you. I hope Mr. He will take care of his health..."

"You don't have to worry about me." He Yong pressed his hand on Yuan Tan's shoulder. "Xiansi, I have nothing to worry about. I have been running all my life, and now I am nearly 70 years old. The ending is not bad for having such a stable life, especially when the peace is expected, the efforts of the party members may become a reality. Even if I die now, there is nothing to regret. But you, Xiansi, be careful."

He Yong wanted to speak but stopped, sighed and worried about Yuan Tan's prospects. Yuan Tan knew it in his heart, but he was unwilling to reveal the conflict between father and son in front of Geng Bao, and lost his words. He smiled and said, "His Duke He has such high expectations for General Sun? Did he accept He Duke's suggestion?"

"As long as the world is peaceful and the people can live and work in peace, will they accept my suggestions? What's the difference between admitting that they are party members?"

Yuan Tan sighed lightly and didn't say anything more. Li Xuan had become Sun Ce's engagement, which shows that the party members had at least regarded Sun Ce as a choice and no longer regarded Yuan Shao as the only choice. He Yong was right. The party members' goal was to be peaceful in the world and the people live and work in peace. Sun Ce did this, at least part of it. It doesn't matter if he did not admit that he was a party member, the party members' goal had been achieved.

"Life and death have a fate. I do what I should do, let the rest be left to fate." Yuan Tan sighed softly, lifted up his clothes, knelt in front of He Yong, and kowtowed three times. He Yong's nose felt sore, he bent down, helped Yuan Tan up, held his hand and looked at him with tears in his eyes. Yuan Tan was cruel and broke free from He Yong's hand, turned around and jumped into the car beside him, and ordered him to set off. The driver raised his horse whip, and the knights kicked the war horses lightly, the carriages were rigging, and the horses were Xiaoxiao, and headed towards Ruyang.

He Yong burst into tears and cried in silence. Li Xuan supported him, looking sad. He wanted to persuade He Yong, but he didn't know how to persuade him. It was a bad or a good thing that Yuan Tan went, and he was not sure.

Like He Yong, Yuan Tan was so sad that he couldn't suppress himself. He sat in the car and cried. He walked for more than ten miles and couldn't suppress himself. Geng Bao sat opposite him and felt uncomfortable watching. He simply ordered to stop the car and let Yuan Tan cry and leave. Yuan Tan got out of the car and walked to the ridge of the field alone, looking at the boundless green wheat fields. Thinking that the situation after returning to Yecheng might be worse than in Gepi, he couldn't help but feel sad and burst into tears.

At this time, a young man walked in the distance, tall and strong, with a long sword hanging around his waist, and was full of vitality. His eyebrows and eyes were clear and he had to be more than two feet long, floating in front of his chest. When he came close, he saw Yuan Tan crying, so he walked over. Geng Bao looked closer from a distance and hurriedly rushed over with a few guards, intending to intercept him. Yuan Tan wiped his tears and reached out to signal Geng Bao not to be nervous.

"This person has a good appearance and a good look. He must not be like an assassin."

Geng Bao looked at the man carefully and felt that he didn't look like an assassin, but he was still worried and shouted loudly: "I dare to ask what the name of Gao's surname is, where is the hometown? This is the former governor of Yanzhou Yuan Junxiansi, and he just parted with Sun Zhendong."

The man glanced at Geng Bao and said strangely: "Are you from Jizhou? From your accent, you think it's Julu."

Geng Bao also heard the man's Hebei accent and was quite surprised. "Are you from Hebei too?"

"Cui Yan, a native of Dongwucheng, Xiaqing River Country, whose courtesy name is Ji Gui, has just returned from a trip to the south and is about to return home."
