Three Kingdoms: The Guan Family's Rebellious Son, Long Blessing Jing Xiang

Chapter 104 Jiangling is actually such a Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

The ancients are also brand conscious!

However, the brand awareness of the ancients did not refer to a certain "trademark", but to a certain name.

For example, "Made by Luban", and another example... Now Guan Yu and Ma Liang heard this "Made by Huang Laoxie"!
Ma Liang winked at Guan Yu.

Guan Yu understood, waved his hand, and ordered Guan Xing and Guan Yinping.

"Are you all going down?"

"Yes!" Guan Yinping and Guan Xing performed a farewell etiquette, and walked out of the room quickly.

For a while, only Guan Yu and Ma Liang were left in the study.

Ma Liang checked the window, and after confirming that it was completely tight, he sat back on the bamboo mat and met Guan Yu's eager gaze.

Guan Yu said with emotion: "First Hong Qigong, then Huang Laoxie, when did Jingzhou produce so many experts?"

Don't blame him for feeling.

Hong Qigong, who had never heard of Hong Qigong before, who didn't show mountains or leak water at all, can be said to have used a small plan... which caused turmoil in Jingzhou and Soochow.

twists and turns...

Until the last moment, it was impossible to judge whether Hong Qigong was an enemy or a friend.

Then, now Hong Qigong has set up a "beggar gang"...

Because Zhuyu was in front, Guan Yu and Ma Liang turned a blind eye...

But after all, I am so curious about the mysterious identity of "Hong Qigong"!
Zhuyu is in front, and now there is another "Huang Laoxie", Guan Yu will inevitably feel even more emotional, and even sigh in his heart.

Speaking of it, Guan Yu was originally arrogant.

The only people he admired were his eldest brother and Zhuge Kongming. If Lu Zijing, who has been added recently, can be counted as half...

At best, it's two and a half.

However, the situation in Jingzhou has been changing recently. It seems that the mysterious "Hong Qigong" has already firmly controlled the situation here just by making a slight move...

How could Guan Yu not admire him?

What's more, now there is another "Huang Laoxie".

Before people arrived, the ingenious "Liannu" designed by him, the "wooden cow and horse" for transporting grain and grass, and the "partial carriage" for cavalry nemesis had already earned enough attention.

This is also a "monster".

For a moment, Guan Yu felt that he was still proud of a hammer?
He thinks he's a caterpillar?

There are many capable people in Jingzhou hidden dragon and crouching tiger?Is it Guan Yu's turn to be proud?Is it his turn to be conceited?
Inexplicably, because of Hong Qigong and Huang Laoxie, Guan Yu's state of mind changed drastically.

Ma Liang noticed the changes...

Indeed, compared to the past, recently... Guan Gong's arrogance has dissipated too much.

I'm afraid it's because of Huang Laoxie that this domineering arrogance will continue to dissipate.

"Guan Gong, this Huang Laoxie...Although it is only made into a military weapon, it does not show mountains or leak water, but we must not take it lightly."

Ma Liang said with emotion. ""Mozi Gongshu" records - Gongshu Pan is a tool for Chu to build ladders, and when it is completed, it will be used to attack Song Dynasty. "Huainanzi" says-Luban is Gongshuban, Chu people. He is a clever man of the Son of Heaven, able to make Ladder."

Ma Liang explained in detail.

"From the end of the Spring and Autumn Period and the beginning of the Warring States Period, Lu Ban was born, and his invention changed the entire pattern of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The "ladder" that he created that can be used to attack the city helped the rapid rise of Chu, which was lagging behind other big countries. , and defeated many countries one after another on the battlefield, destroying cities and pulling out strongholds, and consolidating the position!"

"The 'wooden magpie' he invented, which flew for three days without landing...is still a legend in the market today, and it is impossible to imagine what effect this 'wooden magpie' will have if it can be put into the battlefield? This is why, The words 'made by Luban' are well-known to every household!"

"When it comes to Lu Ban, everyone admires him, whether he is a prince, a general, or a person from Lower Liba! Wouldn't his stories and his inventions be passed down for thousands of years?"

Ma Liang's implication is to make Guan Yu pay attention to this "Huang Laoxie"!
Never underestimate the power of "craftsmen".

call…

Guan Yu exhaled lightly. In fact, Ma Liang's words were superfluous.

Having witnessed the magic of the "partial carriage", how could Guan Yu not look sideways at this "Huang Laoxie"?

"Guan read "Spring and Autumn", which also mentioned that Lu Ban built a ladder to help Chu State attack Song! But Mozi also loved non-attack, and wanted to stop this war, so Mozi and Lu Ban tied clothes with Lu Ban in the Chu Palace. For the city, an offensive and defensive battle was launched with bamboo chips as weapons."

"In the end, Lu Ban's siege equipment was exhausted, and Mozi's defense equipment was still inexhaustible. Lu Ban was convinced, and the king of Chu gave up attacking Song!"

Guan Yu said happily: "Mozi and Lu Ban were both the world's best kats at that time. From this 'offensive and defensive battle' in the Chu Palace, we can also see that the energy of these outstanding craftsmen cannot be ignored."

Just as Guan Yu said, even today, the ladders used in the siege are still engraved with "Made by Luban", this time to commemorate the patriarch of the "construction industry".

Therefore…

The four words "made by Huang Laoxie" made Guan Yu and Ma Liang's hearts throb.

It's just... about this "Huang Laoxie" who has just surfaced, there is too little intelligence and information, except... Mi Fang mentioned, from Jiaozhou... Except for "Shi Huolong" and "You Tanzhi", the rest, Know nothing.

at this time…

"I have something important to report to General Guan..."

A heavy voice came from the door, it was Zhou Cang.

Seeing Zhou Cang, Guan Jiajun standing outside the door stepped aside one after another, and Zhou Cang strode into the study.

Guan Yu and Ma Liang looked up at Zhou Cang.

At this time, Zhou Cang opened his mouth impatiently: "It has been found out. I was ordered by Guan Gong to find out that these Jiaozhou merchants are not from Jiaozhou at all. Shi Huolong and You Tanzhi are both from the north. The source of these ordnance brought here has nothing to do with that Jiaozhou, these ordnance are all produced in our Jiangling!"

——Jiangling.

——Ordnance is produced in Jiangling!
As soon as these words came out, Guan Yu and Ma Liang were both shocked.

They looked at Zhou Cang in disbelief...

It seems that this information came too unexpectedly... However, it is just right.

"What does General Zhou mean?"

Ma Liang asked quickly.

Zhou Cang took out an account book from his pocket, handed it to Guan Yu, and said: "Through the visits in the market, recently some people have been buying wood and stone in Jiangling City, and they are also buying iron and other military materials in the black market. The place where the material arrives is exactly... exactly..."

Zhou Cang suddenly increased his tone.

——"It's a mountain villa on the outskirts of our Jiangling city!"

——"And just there, there have been many workshops recently. According to the nearby people, for several days...these workshops have been working day and night, and they are busy! In addition to rushing to manufacture these ordnance, they can also be doing Well?"

...

...

In the backyard of the "Changxin" restaurant, a few strands of Sun Ru's loose hair were blown by the breeze.

Sun Ru and You Tanzhi stood face to face.

Just now, You Tanzhi asked Sun Ru, which road is his friend.

And Sun Ru, who had been specially taught by Lu Xun, now knows a lot about the rules of "reselling arms".

She said frankly: "It is a rule that a guest should not ask the host, but if the guest has a request, the host should not ask the guest! After all, many people don't want others to know about this kind of thing."

"Since that's the case, then there's no need to talk about it, the fourth master has already made an order for this batch of goods." You Tanzhi looked like he was rejecting others, and wanted to leave.

Sun Ru didn't panic at all, "If your purpose is to sell to the Fourth Young Master, then why make such an announcement? Although there are many people visiting the thief Cao's mansion, it is far from being out of line... What you are doing is just to borrow Guan Lin, the fourth son of the Guan Dynasty, will show off this ordnance and sell it at a high price when he is talking about the book? They are all thousand-year-old foxes, so don’t pretend to be any more?”

Sun Ru's sharp language did not give You Tanzhi the slightest room to breathe.

You Tanzhi paused, and based on his experience, he asked: "Young lady is a woman from Jiangnan! The one behind that young lady is the ruler of Eastern Wu?"

Sun Ru looks like an iconic Jiangnan girl...

But under the well-behaved and light-hearted appearance, she is resolute in her heart!
"Your Excellency, don't ask any more questions. The little girl won't tell." Sun Ruyun waved her hand lightly.

"Hehe..." You Tanzhi smiled this time, he looked at Sun Ru with great interest, and then...sit in a sidecar, "Interesting, then tell me, how much do you plan to pay?"

"Then see how much you have in stock!"

"Two hundred vans, one thousand crossbows, over ten thousand bolts, less wooden oxen and horses, one hundred!" You TanZhi said truthfully without hiding.

this…

Sun Ru's eyeballs rolled, she pondered for a moment, then stretched out her hand, showing two fingers.

It's like making an offer!

"Twenty thousand hu grains?" You Tanyi was taken aback, he did not expect that the other party's price was so low... "You woman is not sincere, is such a small amount of money just begging for food? I think... there is no need for us to continue talking gone."

You TanZhi turned around and planned to leave.

Who would have thought that Sun Ru called You Tanzhi to stop, and her eyes looked at her two fingers: "Who told you that this is [-] Dendrobium?"

This time, You TanZhi was startled.

"20 million dendrobium?"

In this era, due to the rapid depreciation of coins, in addition to gold for transactions, more barter is used, and grain and cloth are the most available hard currencies.

Therefore, You Tan subconsciously connected the opponent's fingers with the amount of food.

However, even so, 20 dendrobium... is a bit too much. This amount is enough to harvest Jingnan's grain for a whole year.

but…

You Tanzhi asked in surprise, "Is it really 20 Dendrobium?"

Responding to him was Sun Ru gently waving his hands.

"no!"

"You fool me!"

"How dare a little girl?" Sun Ru narrowed her eyes slightly, and she said the real meaning of these two fingers: "Twice, no matter how much Guan Lin will produce tomorrow, I will pay twice!"

This…

You TanZhi's eyes couldn't help but condense.

This offer is indeed very attractive, even more attractive than the illusory 20 Dendrobium!
The moonlight was bright, and in the backyard was You Tanzhi's meaningful gaze...

It was Sun Ru's looking forward to it.

But on the wall in the backyard, a beggar was holding a pen and sketching something on a piece of crumpled paper.

It seems that he recorded everything that happened under the bright moonlight with lines.

...

...

At the entrance of the underground restaurant of Baojia Winery, many beggars are guarding here.

Seeing Lu Youjiao, the elder of Babao, they saluted one after another, their movements were chaotic, and they looked like a mob.

But Lu Youjiao didn't mind, he strode into the wine cellar with a stern and solemn expression.

A beggar shouted in a low voice: "Elder Lu is here, Elder Lu is here..."

It seemed that he wanted to use this voice to remind all the beggars waiting here.

Lu Youjiao sat still, the shelf in front of him was already full of crumpled papers, on which were pictures like "ghost drawing symbols".

A beggar brought a bowl of water, Lu Youjiao drank it down.

"Don't be dazed, Hong Qigong and his old man are still waiting for news from us, come... if you have something to say, hurry up!"

As soon as this statement comes out…

A beggar was the first to say: "As soon as the bustle of the Desheng Bridge ended, our prefect Mi Fangmi of Jiangling City sent an invitation to invite Shi Huolong and You Tanzhi to the banquet, You Tanzhi postponed it, and Shi Huolong went to the banquet .”

As he was talking, the beggar unfolded a piece of crumpled paper on the table, and the drawing on it was a mess, but... if you look closely, it looks like Mi Fang and Shi Huolong walked into the brothel together.

The No.2 beggar continued: "It has been found out that a woman has sneaked into the 'Changxin' restaurant..."

He also unfolded the crumpled paper, on it was the picture of You TanZhi rushing down the stairs, and the woman was standing in front of the wooden ox and horse waiting for him.

Next came the No.3 beggar, who opened his mouth and said, "Just now, Shi Huolong just came out of the red hall, and bumped into a 30-year-old boy in a rich dress. They handed over a bag of five baht money to Shi Huolong to make amends, and then dragged Shi Huolong to a wine shop next door, saying that he was going to throw a banquet to ask for guilt."

What the No.3 beggar said happened just now.

Therefore, before I had time to draw a picture, I submitted it directly.

--"Obedient…"

Hearing this, Lu You's eyebrows raised in countdown.

He couldn't help muttering to himself in a low voice: "Three waves of people came here in one night!"

Thinking of this, he quickly ordered, "Hong Qigong, the old man ordered, have you forgotten?"

"no!"

A group of beggars answered in unison.

Lu Youjiao repeated his reminder: "Hong Qigong and his old man said that anyone who tries to get in touch with Shi Huolong and You Tanzhi today, we brothers must follow up and keep watching day and night... look at them all day long. What to do here, who to meet, and try to find out their true identities."

"I know, I know..."

The beggars agreed and planned to retreat one after another.

Lu Youjiao quickly reminded: "Be careful, don't let these people find out... This is the first time our beggar gang has done a big job, and everyone has cheered me up."

Needless to say, Lu Youjiao, these beggars are full of energy...

Since they joined the Beggars' Clan, they were able to eat enough and wear warm clothes. They were grateful to "Hong Qigong" from the bottom of their hearts, and they were waiting to do things for "Hong Qigong"!

For this reason, no one dared to slack off in this operation.

But Lu Youjiao.

Waiting...after all the beggars had left, his eyeballs rolled, and he murmured in his mouth:
"The fourth son said, in this way... in this way, we can find out the spies of the enemy country? Is it true or not?"

"Could it be that the people in these pictures...are all enemies' spies?"

Lu Youjiao didn't understand, scratched his head, and decided not to think about it any further. He patted the dust off his body, and the most urgent thing was to report this matter to the Fourth Young Master.

While walking outside, Lu Youjiao muttered over and over again, "Why... why are there so many? This is only the first day!"

Yes…

He originally thought that no one would contact Shi Huolong and the others in private.

But now it seems...

It's more than a connection, they're really gunmen!
Hey...Lu Youjiao is still scratching his head, a little unbelievable...

——"There are really so many spies in Jiangling City? 』
