Chapter 371 The Hedong Guan Family Heirloom from "Spring and Autumn"!

Guan's old house.

In front of the door.

Guan Ping stood proudly with his fists in his arms, with a domineering and terrifying appearance.

While waiting for the Guan family to come out, he also looked around from time to time.

Sure enough, I found two or three people acting suspiciously. They were whispering to each other. After a while, one of them left the door, and only one remained guarding the outside of Guan's house.

Although Guan was angry on the surface, Xu Shu admired him in his heart. He could judge the situation of the Guan family only through some clues.

No wonder Duke Xuande sent him to follow him, probably not only to protect himself, but also because of his outstanding resourcefulness, he could guarantee that he would not show any clues, so as not to implicate the Guan family.

Squeak-!
After a long time, the gate of the Guan family's old house opened.

A man with white beard and hair, but hale and hearty, walked out from inside.

This person is none other than Guan Ling, the old patriarch of the Guan family.

Back then, it was precisely because he often secretly helped their mother and child that he grew up normally. In fact, Guan Ping respected the head of his family very much, but today, he can only speak rudely.

"Old man, you are finally out!"

With his head held high, Guan Ping opened his mouth aggressively and cursed.

"Guan Ping, you scoundrel, how dare you speak to the patriarch like that!"

Guan Ping was worried that no one would find fault, but there were still people who dared to take the pole to find fault.

Exactly!

The firepower was transferred and the sixth uncle was bombarded.

Guan Ping turned his head and glanced at the burly and majestic sixth uncle Guan Chen: "How did you treat me Guan Ping, do you need me to repeat it again? The Guan family has always passed down the family in the Spring and Autumn Period. Could it be possible to teach elders like you?"

"What's wrong with cursing?"

Guan Ping's eyes widened, and he burst into anger: "I, Guan Ping, have grown up. I couldn't beat you before, but I will try again now? Believe it or not, I peeled your skin and cramped your tendons! "

Guan Chen was furious, his face turned green with anger, he raised his hand and pointed at Guan Ping angrily, and replied sharply: "What happened back then was at fault with your father, not with the family. Instead of blaming your father, blame us instead?"

"Father?"

Guan Ping snapped back without hesitation: "My father puts loyalty first, and he is a famous hero in Hedong. He is not wrong. What is wrong is you cowardly, bullying elders!"

"Even if my father is really at fault, what's wrong with my mother and son? You don't have the slightest virtue of elders, and it's unreasonable to drive an infant child out of the house!"

"Which one is not convinced?"

Speaking of this, Guan Ping waved his hand and shouted in a cold voice: "Come out and fight with Guan, anyway, I have settled my mother properly, so I don't have to worry about the future, so I can have a good fight with you."

"Little bunny, I."

Guan Chen was furious, rolled up his sleeves and wanted to beat Guan Ping violently.

But before he had time to make a move, he was interrupted by the old patriarch Guan Ling: "Chen'er, don't be rude, just step back."

Guan Chen stared: "Patriarch, I."

Guan Ling said coldly: "I will let you back down."

Guan Chen had no choice but to swallow his anger, cupped his hands and cupped his fists: "Here."

Immediately afterwards, Guan Ling took a step forward, and said softly, "Ping'er, the family did not handle the matter properly. These years, your mother and son have suffered outside."

"This old man is here to apologize to you."

Speaking of this, Guan Ling actually gave Guan Ping a bow in front of everyone.

"Patriarch, you."

"No way, Patriarch!"

"Patriarch!!!"

"."

Facing the persuasion of everyone in the Guan family, Guan Ling waved his hand and interrupted: "Anyway, Ping'er is innocent. He is an infant child and shouldn't be implicated like this."

"Although it was forced by the situation at the time, this decision was indeed unfair to Ping'er mother and son. They should accept the apology from the old man, and you don't need to say anything more."

Hearing this, even Guan Ping, who was pretending to be fierce, couldn't help feeling a little soft-hearted. He sighed and said softly: "Old man, don't think that you can erase the harm you have done to me!"

"I"

"Ping'er."

Guan Ping said halfway, but was interrupted by the old patriarch Guan Ling: "After all, you are still connected with us by blood, what's the matter, let's go home and talk to ourselves, don't worry, there is an old man, no one dares to touch you vellus."

"Go home, boy."

Guan Ling beckoned and walked up to Guan Ping: "This is your home."

Guan Ping remained indifferent and remained silent. It was the first time in these years that he was so close to the old patriarch. His wrinkled hands were so powerful and warm, and his dry eyes were full of warmth. I expressed pity.

"Walk."

Guan Ling took his hand and walked towards the family.

Guan Ping lowered his voice: "Car! Carriage! There are people inside."

Guan Ling then turned around and ordered: "Chen'er, take the carriage back to the stable."

Guan Chen bowed reluctantly: "Here."

The moment everyone returned to the house and closed the gate.

Guan Ping turned around without hesitation, and knelt on the ground with a plop: "Guan Ping, an unfilial son, offended the old patriarch a lot just now, I hope the old patriarch will forgive me."

"Get up."

Guan Ling quickly helped Guan Ping up: "The current situation of the Guan family is really difficult for you."

All the children and grandchildren around were dumbfounded, staring at the scene in front of them in disbelief:
"Patriarch, what's going on?"

"Is it possible that you were acting before?"

Guan Ling turned around to look around the crowd, and said loudly: "That's right, Ping'er was sent by Nanyang Hanting, and now Yun Chang is also serving as a general in Nanyang Hanting, he is still the second younger brother of Uncle Liu's sworn brother."

"what?"

Everyone stared like a bell, astonished.

Before they could ask, Guan Ping cupped his hands and apologized to the uncles: "Uncles, please forgive Ping'er for being rude, now the Guan family is under surveillance, only in this way will the enemy not be suspicious. "

"The old patriarch is right. My father is now a general in Nanyang Hanting. At this moment, he has followed General Zhang Liao and entered Zhiguanxing from Hanoi County. Uncle Liu Huang is gathering an army in Shan County, preparing to compete with Chang'an from two routes."

The surrounding Guan family members were stunned, and suddenly boiled up:
"I knew it was impossible for Nanyang Hanting to sit idly by and ignore the state."

"Hedong is the key to entering Bingzhou, and there will be competition here."

"Zhang Liao is a formidable general. The battle in Jingshicang that year is still rumored."

"This is another contest between Chang'an and Nanyang after Dong Zhuo."

"."

Hearing the discussion of the clansmen, Guan Ling waved his hands to signal the crowd to be quiet: "Okay, let's go back to the ancestral hall, and then Ping'er will tell everyone about the Nanyang Hanting."

All the clansmen nodded one after another: "Okay."

At that moment, everyone surrounded Guanling and Guanping and returned to the ancestral hall.

Not long after, Guan Chen brought Xu Shu back as well.

At this moment, he already understood that Guan Ping had such unavoidable difficulties, so he didn't complain at all, and Guan Ping took the initiative to apologize, Guan Chen naturally calmed down, and the Hedong Guan family ushered in an unprecedented harmony.

"That's the way it is now."

Xu Shu briefly explained the current imperial court's countermeasures to everyone, so that they could understand that Nanyang Hanting's battle in the east direction is absolutely inevitable. Only in this way can the Guan family's worries be truly eliminated.

as predicted.

Guanling's brows stretched out, his sad face faded away, and he was replaced by a relaxed one: "Sure enough, His Majesty the Emperor of Nanyang couldn't give up on Hedong, so he actually sent two commanders to deal with it together."

"Yes."

Guan Chen below followed suit and nodded: "Uncle Liu Huang is here personally, and he is in charge of the area of ​​​​Sili, and Yun Chang led troops from Zhiguanxing to Hedong. After we close the family, we don't have to look at the face of the Wei family anymore."

"Yes."

Another member of the clan said coldly: "Actually, the Wei family also obstructed what happened back then. Otherwise, how could the patriarch drive Ping'er, mother and son out of the Guan family? If he can really wipe out Hedong this time, this revenge can be avenged."

"what?"

Guan Ping frowned, and turned to look at the old patriarch: "Patriarch, what happened to my father back then is actually related to the Hedong Wei family?"

Guan Ling nodded affirmatively: "That's right! The person your father killed was the brother-in-law of the son-in-law of the Hedong Wei family, and this person is in charge of the business of the Hedong Wei family in Heluo."

"My father's killing of this person is equivalent to cutting off the wealth of the Hedong Wei family. The family took out a hundred gold horseshoes and three hundred bolts of silk cloth, and had to expel your mother and son from the Guan family to settle the matter. "

"This"

Guan Ping only knew a rough idea of ​​what happened back then, but not fully.

And Guan Yu ran away in a panic after killing someone, also not knowing the background of that person.

Originally thought that the Hedong Guan family would at least be able to keep their mother and son, but they never thought that they were backed by the Hedong Wei family and had interests involved, which forced the Guan family to do this.

"Anyway."

Shangshou Guanling still took the responsibility on himself: "This matter has nothing to do with your mother and son. It should not implicate your mother and son. It's just the situation at that time. It involves the livelihood of hundreds of Guan family members. I really can't do anything about it."

"That's right!"

Guan Chen followed suit and said, "We also have conflicts of interest with the Hedong Wei family. We need to use the business of the Hedong Wei family to turn some of the family's resources into money to support the whole family."

"The old patriarch has abandoned your mother and son to save the livelihood of the whole clan. Of course, it is not ruled out that some clansmen will blame the father for this disaster, but in fact, everyone understands that the father is not wrong."

The Hedong Guan family, which is passed down in "The Legend of the Zuo Family in the Spring and Autumn Period", are all heroes. Fortunately, what happened at that time was encountered by Guan Yu. Not necessarily anymore.

"Then why are you?"

Guan Ping was even more puzzled, and when he was about to ask, Guan Chen directly interrupted: "Could it be that Ping'er wanted to ask, why did the clansman treat your mother and child so cruelly?"

"Ah."

Guan Ping nodded.

After all, their mother and son had suffered a lot at that time, especially in the first two years. Almost every day, the tribe would abuse and bully their mother and son.

Guan Chen smiled: "Lingtang is a beauty, I don't know how many people are watching behind his back, especially the sons of Hedong Wei's family."

"We have a sense of proportion in bullying you mother and child, but if we let them do it, I'm afraid you won't live until now. In a sense, it can be regarded as a kind of protection for you."

The fourth uncle smiled and said: "Ping'er, do you still have Feng'er to make trouble at night when you were six years old?"

Guan Ping nodded: "I remember, what's the matter?"

"That's because he heard two ruffians saying that he would tie up your mother and son and give them to the Hedongwei family. Feng'er took the family members and dragged them for several days in the name of making trouble, so that you could Be vigilant at all times, and when they come to the door again, you will be beaten away by you."

"But."

Guan Ping was puzzled: "Why didn't anyone tell us?"

The fourth uncle said softly: "In these years, our Guan family has to rely on the Wei family to survive. If I tell you, with your bad temper, why not beat up the Wei family like your father?"

"I don't want to tell you, I'm afraid that you will cause trouble for the family. When the time comes, you will bring trouble to the Lingtang, but you really can't even save your life. In addition, the harder the tribe treats you, the less tempered the Wei family will be. It has been like this all these years gone."

"Half a year ago, your mother and son left Hedong, and the family breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking that you, Ping'er, have grown up and can protect Lingtang, the uncles in the clan are very pleased."

"never thought"

With a smile on his face, the fourth uncle said affectionately: "You got the news from your father and took Lingtang to Nanyang. You also blamed us for being so ruthless that when you mother and son left, you didn't even leave a word. Down."

At this moment, Guan Ping was so moved that he couldn't believe that his face, which he hated as much as he wanted, has become so amiable at this moment.

"Uncles."

Guan Ping couldn't bear it anymore, two lines of hot tears burst out of his eyes.

He bowed to everyone again: "It's my nephew who missed you, please forgive me."

Guan Ling waved his hand: "Why are you talking so much? Isn't this your duty? Ping'er, get up quickly, your father will allow you to come back with His Majesty's order. This kind of friendship has already been proved." everything."

That's right!

The Guan family did not feel sorry for Guan Yu, and Guan Yu also missed the Guan family.

They are connected by blood, no matter what they have experienced in the middle, there has never been any hatred, because they are a family!

At this moment, even Xu Shu, an outsider, couldn't help crying and wiped away his tears secretly.

He thought of his mother, when he was on the run from killing someone, he left her alone and left alone. After so many years, he never went back to see her once. His mother must miss him very much, and he really doesn't know what is going on with her now.

"okay."

Guan Ling waved his hand, interrupting such a warm and touching scene.

He turned to look at Xu Shu beside him, and said softly: "Sir, the court needs my Guan family to behave, no matter what you say, my Guan family will definitely respect you."

Xu Shu forcibly switched back to his own role: "If I guess correctly, the Hedong Wei family has already sent someone to contact you, old man. You can promise them temporarily that you will first gather the trilogy and train in secret, waiting for further instructions."

Guan Ling said without hesitation: "Okay, no problem, I will send someone back to Wei's house tomorrow morning."

Guan Ping followed and said, "Oh, by the way, uncles, if there are children in the family who want to join the army and serve the court, now is the best opportunity."

The sixth uncle Guan Chen said with a smile: "See, this kid is promising and can help the brothers in the clan."

All the uncles looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Hahahaha." All of them were very excited.

as if.

The Hedong Guan clan is about to usher in a chance to make a fortune.

******
Hedong County, Anyi County.

The ancestral home of the Wei family.

study.

night.

A lamp like a bean.

Under the flickering candlelight, a benevolent old man is reading at night while holding a candle.

At this moment, a man entered from outside the study and bowed his head: "Father, this is the information from Jie county in Hedong. The child who left the Guan family half a year ago has returned."

"Oh?"

The old man frowned, put down the scroll, and asked tentatively, "Which child?"

The man said softly, "It's Guan Ping who was kicked out of the house by the Guan family."

"Guan Ping?"

There was a gleam in the old man's eyes.

He knew that he was very impressed with this name, but he always couldn't remember it: "Bo Yu, are you talking about what happened to your sixth uncle's family back then?"

"Yes."

Wei Ji nodded: "It was the child of the Guan family who killed Chen Ning back then. I heard that he came back to take revenge. He had a big fight with the Guan family in front of the Guan family's old house. Mr. Guan personally apologized, and he just released him. Take it home."

hiss-!
Surprised, Wei Wei gasped.

He pinched a strand of goatee under his jaw: "Is there such a thing?"

Wei Ji nodded: "That's right, we Wei family saw it with our own eyes. Father, the Guan family in Xie County is still a relatively powerful and powerful family. The family has more than [-] mu of land, and there are three mines. A large manor, conservatively estimated to have at least [-] plays."

"The most important thing is that all the men of the Guan family have practiced martial arts since they were young children. Everyone in the clan at the age of [-] or [-] can handle spears and sticks. They are a force that should not be underestimated."

Wei Wei naturally knew the Guan family's reputation in Hedong, especially the old man Guan Ling. He had heard of the other party's name when he was young, and he was definitely a famous man.

Guanling himself has four brothers, seven sons, three daughters, and countless descendants. If you add the private soldiers of the Guan family, 2000 soldiers are no less than three or 5000. .

"Bo coveted."

Wei Wei tried to ask, "What do you mean?"

Wei Ke cupped his hands, and immediately said: "Proactively soliciting, taking advantage of Guan Ping's return, this is a very good opportunity for us. Zhang Kan has already rushed to Zhai Guanxing to set up defenses. Zhang Liao will definitely not be able to enter."

"And as long as we can stabilize the situation in Hedong, Wang Yun can incorporate Baibo Huangjin, and then take advantage of the situation to enter Bingzhou, contact all parties, and completely connect Guanzhong, Bingzhou, and Jizhou."

Wei Wei nodded slowly: "Yes, I will leave this matter to you. If you can get help from the Guan family, it will be more practical than the Li family and the Cheng family."

Wei Xi cupped his hands: "Here."

"Oh, right."

Just when Wei Ji was about to turn around and leave, Wei Wei suddenly remembered something, and tried to ask: "Is there any news about Baibo Huangjin? Our food and grass can't be spent in vain."

"There is no news yet."

"but."

As soon as the conversation changed, Wei Ji bowed his head: "Father, don't worry, there are three younger brothers watching, and if there is any news, he will send it back to Anyi as soon as possible."

"Ah."

Wei Wei nodded and nodded: "Okay, you should worry about this matter."

Wei Xi cupped his hands: "Here."

Immediately.

He bowed and left the study.

*****
White Wave Valley.

A man with a strong figure is sitting on the top.

He is Yang Feng.

Qu Shuai with white waves and yellow scarves.

And below it were Situ Wang Yun of the imperial court, and Wei Chun, the elder of the Wei family, who were responsible for protecting Wang Yun's safety.

Wang Yun pinched the goatee under his jaw, and briefly described the strategy of the Chang'an court to Yang Feng: "With such a method, who can stop it?"

"This"

Yang Feng didn't answer the words indifferently.

"Humph!"

Wang Yun snorted softly: "Earlier, Chang'an Hanting was controlled by Dong Zhuo, who was nothing more than a reckless man, but now, Chang'an Hanting is in charge of His Majesty himself, and Shanggong Grand Fu Yuan Kui is the Minister of Records."

"Today's Chang'an Hanting is truly powerful. Otherwise, how could it have wiped out Dong Zhuo's old troops as quickly as possible, subdued Han Sui and Ma Teng, and now entered Hedong with lightning speed?"

"Zhang Kan has already sent troops to Zheguanxing to set up defenses. If General Yang is there to assist, let alone Zhang Liao, even King Hongnong himself will not be able to kill here."

"The dog has returned to Taiyuan. I believe it won't be long before Bingzhou will return to the imperial court. At that time, Guanzhong, Bingzhou, and Jizhou will be connected together, and Liu Biao and Liu Yao in the south will attack King Hongnong from north to south. How can it last long?"

"so."

Wang Yun said sonorously: "General Yang, there is no need to doubt who will win. Today's Chang'an is no longer the same as before. Smart people should make the right choice at this time."

"Duke Yuan agreed that if General Yang can lead his troops back to the imperial court, he will be promoted to General Fenwu. The tens of thousands of brothers in Baibogu will be fed by the imperial court in the future, so they don't have to worry about starvation anymore."

As soon as this remark came out, the yellow scarf generals in the hall started whispering:

"Dong Zhuo is already dead? I didn't expect the Yuan family to be in charge."

"If you take refuge in the imperial court, can you really get food and grass? Won't you worry about food and grass?"

"I've heard of the name of the Wang family of Bingzhou, and it's really impressive."

"Zhang Kan took refuge in the imperial court, and the Wei family also took refuge in it. If we don't take refuge in it, will we be wiped out?"

"Extermination? Hmph! How many people have come before, but they have not been defeated, can it be done now?"

"It's different now, brother!"

"."

Whispering, the leader Yang Feng waved his hand to signal the crowd to be quiet, and said coldly: "Your Majesty, don't blame me for not believing you, talking empty teeth, and trying to trick me into submitting to the court?"

"Don't forget, the reason we ended up like this is because we were defeated by you, and we ended up here just now. Why should I trust you?"

"Could it be."

Yang Feng said coldly: "Is it just because of your mouth?"

Wang Yun naturally expected this: "Of course! I, Wang Yun, came here today with sincerity. If the general agrees, three days later, I will offer [-] stones of food and grass."

"ten"

Yang Feng was dumbfounded, his eyeballs almost popped out in fright: "How much are you? One hundred thousand stones of grain and grass?"

Wang Yun nodded with great certainty: "That's right! One hundred thousand stones of grain and grass, and this is only your first batch of military rations. When you lead your troops to the designated position, you will be sent the imperial edict and seal ribbon promoting you as General Fenwu. "

　Thank you [I'm Detective Kexi] for the reward of 100 coins!
