Chapter 317

~4 min read 730 words

At this time, no one dared to come out to mediate.

If you said the wrong thing, you would offend both sides at the same time.

And even offending either side easily was something no one could bear.

"Benchu, forget it, let's go."

Cao Cao, who was standing beside Yuan Shao, pulled Yuan Shao's sleeve in a low voice.

Go?

Yuan Shao frowned tightly.

If he left now, he would lose face.

So how could Yuan Shao leave?

"Yuan Gonglu, you can humiliate me, but I have friends here today," Yuan Shao said without giving an inch: "If you don't apologize today, this matter will never be settled."

"Oh?" Yuan Shu raised an eyebrow, weighed the arrow in his hand, and said disdainfully: "Not settled?"

"What can you do?"

"Friends?"

"Are you talking about that Cao Aman, or that Duan Ziyi behind you?"

"One is the descendant of a eunuch, the other is a barbarian warrior from the border; since when are they worthy of being friends with my Yuan clan? Yuan Benchu, you are really promising, you have really brought glory to my Runan Yuan clan!"

Duan Ziyi!

As soon as Duan Yu's name was mentioned, the dozens of people in the gambling den hall immediately focused their eyes on Duan Yu.

During these days, Duan Yu's name could be said to have spread throughout Luoyang.

Pursuing the culprit for thousands of miles, he used his status as a County Lieutenant to force the Jinyang Wang clan into the abyss.

In the battle of the Great Green Mountain, he killed thousands of Xiongnu and captured the son of the Xiongnu Chanyu alive.

Then he raided for hundreds of miles and burned Tanhanshan.

Burning countless Xianbei people to death.

At the Cuochou River, he shot and killed the Xianbei Chanyu Kuitou with one arrow.

Then he returned to Bingzhou unscathed under the pursuit of the Xianbei.

Within a month, he became famous throughout the southern desert and the border counties of Bingzhou and Youzhou.

The Emperor personally issued an edict for him to enter Luoyang to receive an appointment and reward.

With the rise of Duan Yu's reputation.

Duan Yu's legendary experience was also dug up.

It was rumored that Duan Yu was just an unknown villager in a village.

Because of his superb archery, he was later valued by the Inspector of Bingzhou, Dong Zhuo.

He married Dong Zhuo's daughter.

And there were rumors of him shooting three hundred bandits in the mountains overnight.

There were countless rumors about Duan Yu in Luoyang.

When Yuan Shu mentioned Duan Yu's name, there was a burst of low discussion in the hall.

Cao Cao, who was scolded by Yuan Shu as a descendant of a eunuch, had no temper at all.

There was no help for it; although Yuan Shu's scolding was ugly, what he said was the truth.

Cao Cao was indeed a descendant of a eunuch.

The entire Cao clan also followed the path of the eunuch's turbid current.

Cao Cao's grandfather, Cao Teng, was the Grand Changqiu, and the rise of the Cao clan started from there.

However, after experiencing Cao Teng, the Cao clan had completed a cut with the eunuch's turbid current.

That was when Cao Cao used five-colored clubs to beat the uncle of the Regular Palace Attendant Jian Shuo to death.

After being scolded by Yuan Shu, Cao Cao's already black face turned even blacker.

But he didn't dare to do anything to Yuan Shu.

In terms of official position, Yuan Shu was the Colonel of the Huben.

One of the three garrison armies in Luoyang.

The Forbidden Army, the Northern Army, and the Huben Army.

Yuan Shu was the highest commander of the Huben Army.

A solid two-thousand-shi official.

And Cao Cao was currently just a mere Lang official.

Yuan Shao was not as good as Cao Cao; because of mourning, Yuan Shao was currently a commoner.

Xu You didn't even need to be mentioned.

Among the four, if anyone had an official position, it was only Duan Yu.

If they really started fighting.

If Cao Cao dared to move, that would be offending his superior.

"Yuan Gonglu, you must apologize to my friend," Yuan Shao said, gritting his teeth.

If he didn't get this face back today, Yuan Shao was afraid he would have nowhere to put his face in the future.
