Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao and Liu Bei help me to ascend the throne

Chapter 89 Cannibal Lu but Murder Master, This Is Unrighteous!
Skimming the west side road outside the medical hall, just rushed into the moon gate of the main courtyard, and saw figures turning around in the small courtyard between the second and third gates, and it was very lively.

Guan Yu's fist was hard, but Zhang Fei's was even stronger. The fists of the two opened and closed, and their strength was as strong as two lions fighting each other.

"Good guy!" Zhang Fei shouted happily, he hadn't encountered such a capable fighter in many years.

Guan Yu was also extremely excited, after all, his eyebrows twitched again and again on that eternally paralyzed face.

In his opinion, wrestling with the black man in front of him is far more difficult than dealing with those dozens of thieves.

"Again!" Guan Yu stopped his fist, turned his fist back to the wrong position, and charged up again, the next punch will be stronger...

"Okay!" Zhang Fei yelled and punched again.

Unexpectedly, between the fist and the palm, a figure suddenly jumped out, grabbed Zhang Fei's wrist with one hand, and blocked Guan Yu's arm with the other, with amazing strength.

After taking a closer look, he realized that it was Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, who stood between the two of them in a daze with his long arms.

"Two brothers, stop quickly!"

Seeing Liu Bei speak like this, Zhang Fei took a step back, Guan Yu didn't take advantage of the situation to press hard, and his fists returned to the wrong direction. Although he didn't lose his strength, he stopped the offensive.

Both of them were horrified by Liu Bei's arm strength...

But soon, Zhang Fei complained.

"Xuande, what are you doing? Are we having a good fight?"

Liu Bei hastily explained: "The two brothers both have the courage to be undeserved. It's meaningless to compare the heights. The most urgent thing..."

Speaking of this, Liu Bei turned his head to look at the main hall of the medical center, "The most urgent thing is that Miss Zhang is seriously injured and unable to travel far. It just so happens that she has an important letter to be sent to Wuji County, Zhongshan."

"There will be a delay in notifying the family. We have to go to Wuji County, Zhongshan to deliver this letter for Miss Zhang."

No wonder Liu Bei is so active...

When he asked Zhang Yulan's identity, he was shocked.

When he went south to Luoyang, he was going to visit this "Guardian Master Liu", but it was rumored that Guanzhu Liu declined all invitations from wealthy families, and Liu Bei was worrying about how to go to see him, but it happened that he saved Guanzhu Liu's wife—— — Zhang Yulan.

Of course, Liu Bei was also very surprised. According to rumors, Guanzhu Liu is only 12 years old. Has he already married a wife at such a young age?

But he had no time to think about it, so he immediately persuaded Zhang Yulan.

Just like what he advised, he went back to Luoyang to tell Guanzhu Liu that it was too late, so Zhang Yulan could only ask Liu Bei to send this letter.

"If that's the case, then Guan won't be able to help you." Guan Yu cupped his hands, apologetic in his tone. "To tell you the truth, Guan is the nursing home of the 'Qin Mansion' in Xieliang County, Hedong. If he leaves without reason, if something happens to the master's house, Guan will be guilty of negligence."

nursing home...

In the courtyard of the mansion of a wealthy man, the status of nursing home is only higher than that of ordinary slaves, similar to "buqu", and even inferior to first-class maids.

However, when Guan Yu reported his identity, his tone was calm and composed, and he didn't feel that the dwarf was superior because of his humble "identity".

"It turns out that 'Longevity' is still important." Liu Bei immediately said: "So, then 'Longevity' comes from Danggui Mansion, and Yi Dequan is here to protect Miss Zhang. Leave the delivery to me!"

As soon as this remark came out, Zhang Fei took a step forward and hurriedly replied, "I can go too!"

"Let me go!" Liu Bei said: "Let's form a relationship with the thief, Yide's martial arts are higher, and the responsibility to protect Miss Zhang is even greater!"

In fact, Liu Bei was worried about Zhang Fei sending the letter.

He has a rough temper, and he handles things carelessly, and this letter is related to 'Guardian Liu', so there must be no mistakes...

"Oh!" Zhang Fei scratched his head. "That's true, Xuan Dekong has a whole body of strength, but this skill is still almost meaningless, and he can't stop these bulldogs!"

"They are not barbarians!" Liu Bei immediately reminded.

"What?" Zhang Fei was taken aback.

Liu Bei continued: "Just now, regarding these thieves, I talked with Ms. Zhang, and Ms. Zhang mentioned that the one who chased and killed him was definitely not a barbarian. I also had some doubts."

"What doubts?" Zhang Fei's curiosity was completely aroused.

"Miss Zhang said that the Hu people often go south to plunder in autumn, because autumn is the time when the war horses are fattest and strongest, and it is also the time when the people of the Han Dynasty have worked hard for a year to collect the goods. Only in autumn can they grab the most grain."

Liu Bei said carefully. "But now it's spring, and the Han army often counterattacks the Sanhu in spring, because spring is the most difficult time for the Hu people. After a winter, the reserves of grain and pasture have been exhausted, and the grass has not yet grown, and the social animals begin to estrus. It is the weakest time of the year for the Hu people!"

"At this time, the loss of every ewe in the Hu people's tribe is equivalent to losing a flock, and it will not be able to make up for it within a few years! Under such a general situation, the Hu people are still too busy to take care of themselves. How could they go south to Jizhou? Going deep into the hinterland to plunder is unreasonable!"

Hearing this, Guan Yu raised his eyebrows. "This girl is very knowledgeable!"

Liu Bei shook his head slightly. "Where Miss Zhang is so knowledgeable, this is what her husband told her, so I can rest assured that she will go to Jizhou to deliver letters at this time!"

Guan Yu nodded, but inexplicably became a little more curious about Miss Zhang's husband!
That must be a knowledgeable young man!

On the other hand, Zhang Fei didn't understand these things, so he waved his hand immediately. "It doesn't matter whether it's autumn or spring, as long as these bulldogs dare to invade our big man's border, I'll use this butcher's knife to stab them a hundred transparent holes!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Fei seemed to suddenly think of something.

"Xuande? That's not right. Aren't we going south to Luoyang to visit the temple master of Yulin? You're going to Wuji in Zhongshan, when can we go to Luoyang? When can we visit the temple master of Yulin?"

Zhang Fei remembered the purpose of this trip.

"Haha..." Liu Bei patted Zhang Fei on the shoulder. "Yide, there is nothing closer to the Yulin temple master than going to 'Zhongshan Promise'. Yide is good at taking care of Miss Zhang, so I will go ahead!"

After a few words, what Zhang Fei said was in the clouds.

"Oh!" Zhang Fei knocked on his forehead again, and when he saw Liu Bei salute him, he also cupped his hands, and replied roughly.

Liu Bei paid homage to Guan Yu again. "I hit it off with 'Longevity' at first sight. I was supposed to have a drink and talk, and I didn't go home when I was drunk, but I was entrusted by others. I have to say goodbye to loyalty!"

Guan Yu cupped his hands. "Xuande is a true righteous man! In the future, Guan will never return without getting drunk with Xuande!"

"Got it"...

With a horse neighing.

A fast horse set off from Xieliang County and headed for Wuji County in Zhongshan Kingdom, and a mule cart also embarked on the journey again. Passing through the east gate is the manor of Guan Yu's master "Qin" family.

And the Qin family is in Xieliang County, which is considered to be a well-known family of merchants.

Of course, everyone in Jieliang County in Hedong knows that the Qin family has a very good relationship with the county magistrate!

In this traffic artery, if you want to transport all the goods in and out, if you don't go through the Qin family's caravan, you will only be robbed and you will be unable to move an inch!

...

...

The wooden floor was trampled, and Qin Niu, the master of the Qin family, paced around the main hall anxiously.

In front of him, a middle-aged man in official uniform looked cold, and his words were not polite at all.

"Qin Niu, don't think that now that you have a few more stinky money, you will forget who you used to be. If I can bring you out of 'Yunzhong County' and become a rich merchant, then I can let you go back and do it. Go back to your servant, dog-like thing!"

The person who spoke was Yan He, the head of the Yan clan, the magistrate of Xieliang County!
Speaking of which, besides his son Yan Liang, Yan He also had two daughters, "Yan Yun" and "Yan Yu".

And the Qin Niu in front of him was just a "loyal" servant of the Yan family.

For the purpose of making money.

The Yan family trained "Qin Niu" to become the leading businessman in Xieliang County, and colluded with Wen Chou's "Stealing Skywood" one black and one white, doing business with no capital, and earning black-hearted business!
And these "black money", a small part stayed in the Qin Mansion and Thieves Wu, most of them belonged to the Yan family, and some of them were sent as "filial piety" to Runan County, the former residence of Yuan Shi, the fourth generation and third father, in exchange for Yuan Shi's popularity in the court and the opposition. Protect the Yan family!

This is a continuous, extremely dark road to wealth.

In addition to the "Stealing Skywood" pretending to be a barbarian, robbing the passing merchants, or the high "passing money" collected by the Qin family:

Many local wealthy households were looted for no reason;
Many people even had their fields burned. In desperation, they had no choice but to sell themselves as slaves of the Qin family, farm for them all their lives, and be exploited by them.

As for the real master behind these slaves, maybe the surname is "Yan" or "Yuan"!
Therefore…

At this moment, the "big merchant" Qin Niu stood in front of the official "Yan He", posing a very distinct "lower-ranking" appearance, like a grandson facing his grandfather, not daring to take a breath.

"Old Yan...how can...how can you be so angry? Who is this short-sighted person who provoked Old Yan?"

Qin Niu was over fifty years old and looked old, but in front of Yan He, who was a few years younger than him, he looked extremely humble.

Even in the eyes of outsiders, he is a wealthy businessman, but he knows in his heart that he is just doing "dirty work" for the Yan family. Furthermore, his family is just a descendant of the "Runan Yuan family" a dog!

Yan He's face was gloomy, and he gave Qin Niu a cold look. He didn't speak, but clapped his hands.

Outside the door, a 20 years old man stepped in, it was Yan He's son Yan Liang.

Even though Yan Liang is of the younger generation, standing in front of Qin Niu, he still looks arrogant. "Open your dog eyes and see, this is a good thing done by your nursing home. You killed more than a dozen brothers and dozens of horses in one go?"

While speaking, Yan Liang smashed a bamboo slip on the wooden floor, the crisp sound made Qin Niu's heart tremble.

He hurriedly picked up the bamboo slips, which were the dictation of a group of younger brothers, describing how they hunted down a woman, how they were killed by the woman, how they rushed forward, and how they were knocked to the ground by a few "nosy" men... in a state of embarrassment flee!

On a small bamboo slip, almost the entire process of "shouting when the road is uneven" is vividly displayed in front of Qin Niu.

At first, he didn't think much of it, but in the end, when he saw "Hedong Jieliang man Guan Changsheng" who was the most able to defend himself among the people who shot, Qin Niu's back was dripping with cold sweat.

"I... I... I... My day..."

He had a feeling of being a dog, even if it was a word, he stumbled.

As for the reason, this Guan Changsheng is his family's nursing home...it is the "nursing home" that guards the gate of his concubine "Du Shi"!

Originally, I saw that he was highly skilled in martial arts, and he was doing his duty, but...but...

"Hey... hey, this... this is not the shrimp soldiers and crabs who rushed into our Dragon King Temple in heavy rain without permission, this... this... Guan Changsheng, who suffered a thousand knives, actually... dare to block Lord Yan's way of making money! I...I..."

Before Qin Niu could finish speaking.

Yan He spoke. "Put a 'Guardian' in prison to be executed, three days! That's enough!"

"Enough...enough!" Qin Niu hugged Yan He's thigh with an apologetic expression.

"Hmph..." Yan He snorted coldly, threw Qin Niu away, and looked at Yan Liang. "My son, let's go!"

"Yes, Dad!" Yan Liang agreed, and reached out to Qin Niu to make a "three" gesture.

Three days!

Just three days!
He and Wen Chou are waiting, the days of Guan Changsheng are coming to an end!

"call…"

Looking at the back of Yan's father and son leaving, Qin Niu lowered his head and panted.

He waited until the footsteps of the Yan family's father and son disappeared, before he shouted. "Where is my son Yilu? Where is my son Yilu? Go and find my son quickly."

Qin Niu's son is Qin Yilu, the famous "green hat man" during the Three Kingdoms period.

The gate guarded by Guan Changsheng is the gate of Qin Niu's concubine "Du Shi".

Speaking of which, this Du family who became a concubine at a young age, if she followed the original wheel of history, she would have left a strong mark on the turbulent battlefield of the Three Kingdoms!
She successively made Yuan Shu, Lu Bu, Guan Yu, Cao Cao... all these heroes fall for her!
Even, let Wei Wang not hesitate to break his promise to Guan Yu and forcibly occupy it!
In the end, Cao Cao also gave birth to Cao Lin, Cao Gun, and Princess Jinxiang...

It's just that "Guan Yunchang" was wronged at that time. He used to guard the house and guard the house to protect this woman, but in the end, the peach was picked by the dishonest Cao Cao!

The history book says - "Cao Cao left the Du family, and Guan Yu was panicked and vacillating."

...

...

Guan Yu returned to the Qin Mansion, first sent the mule cart to the warehouse, counted the red dates and mung beans he bought, and then returned to Du's house.

As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, Guan Yu saw Du slumped on the ground in a daze, his pale face like pear blossoms under the moonlight.

Guan Yu wanted to help.

Never thought... A man came out from behind the flowers and trees. He was wearing a green hat and a cloak. He gently took off his hat, helped Du Shi up, and stared at her immediately.

The man's sincere and eager eyes met Du's sincere and sad eyes. Such a close distance made the two feel intoxicated and terrified of each other, as if the air was trembling slightly.

Guan Yu hurriedly hid behind a tree.

He recognized the man, Qin Yilu, the second son of Qin Niu, the master of the Qin family!

Because of the early death of Qin's eldest son, Qin Yilu was the only son of the Qin family, and was about the same age as Guan Yu, only 20 years old.

"Young Master Qin, I didn't expect that you really came."

Du Shi suddenly bowed to Qin Yilu, Qin Yilu hurriedly helped her up, and could not help but hold her wrist.

"My little lady, please get up quickly. My little lady has always loved me. If there is any order, I will do my best."

Qin Yilu took Du's hand, Guan Yu was startled and angry, he wanted to walk away, but... Du's voice came one after another.

"You also call me little girl..."

There is some mournfulness in the tone. "You know, I was originally a peasant girl, bought by your father to marry your brother. At that time, I didn't know that your brother was dead, so I could only be forced to pay homage to the rooster. Who would have thought... I would end up being you again A 'concubine' whose father's name is not justified, a woman who is imprisoned in a cage forever!"

This…

Hearing this, Qin Yilu hadn't reacted yet.

Guan Yu frowned. What he thought of was the "Yin bone habit" that has been passed down from the Zhou Dynasty to the present!

Guan Yu knew Du's miserable situation, but as the guard in his courtyard, he could do nothing but take care of her like his own sister.

After taking care of her for a long time, she naturally developed feelings.

Du Shi is one of the few women who can make him fall in love.

Many times, Guan Yu wanted to slash the immortal "Qin Niu" with a single knife and save Du's life...but...if he slashed him, what would Guan Changsheng be?

Not to mention that he will become a fugitive in the future!

Merely cannibalizing people's salaries but killing their masters, can this be regarded as the righteousness in "Spring and Autumn"?

at this time.

Du Shi's slight voice came out one after another.

"Your father...he...he can't do it at all."

"He took me as a concubine just for...for this..."

While talking, Du Shi took out two red dates, which were wet and sticky... It was scary to see.

Her tone was full of tears.

"He...he used this...to torture me with this!"
