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

Chapter 145 Afraid of the Air Suddenly Quiet

The first forty-six chapters are afraid that the air will suddenly be quiet

Zhang Fei had a face-to-face meeting with Guan Lin early in the morning, and after handing over his daughter to this brat, he rushed to the western suburbs in a hurry.

According to Kong Ming's instructions, he still wants to pay a visit to the "old man" of the military adviser.

After all, he came to Jingzhou with two missions.

First, investigate Hong Qigong's true identity.

Second, find a good doctor to treat patients who are righteous and filial!
Can…

What surprised Zhang Fei was.

As soon as I left the west city gate, I saw... many villages on the outskirts of the city were holding funerals, and there was endless crying and howling.

Of course, it's not surprising to hold a funeral.

It's almost October.

In ancient times, October was a very dangerous season for the elderly. It was easy to freeze to death or die of illness because of thin clothes.

Even in the Han Dynasty, if the results of the summer and autumn harvests were unsatisfactory, then, for an ordinary family, if the elderly in the family died of illness in winter, it was very likely that there would be no money for funerals.

And because of the Little Ice Age, the cold came earlier and got colder, so... before October, some poor old people have already been sent away.

Zhang Fei couldn't help but leaned over to have a look.

poor...

I just feel that these farmers are too poor.

Everyone is wearing thin clothes, how can they survive the whole winter?
But even poor...

Even if it is thinly dressed.

But in the coffin, the dead are still wearing thick and gorgeous clothes.

The body has also been washed, and things are placed in the mouth and hands. From this, it can be seen that the big man's "rule the world with filial piety" can be seen.

According to the custom, male dead can be buried in Zi, Mao, Si, You, Xu, these days;
Noon, Wei, Shen, Chou, Hai, and Chen, these days are for burying female dead.

The location is often chosen in the local highlands, or next to the mountains.

Looking at this scene, Zhang Fei's mood inevitably burst into embarrassment.

but...

The further west he went, he found that there were almost no funerals here.

In this village... from house to house, some are making jerky, some are making wine with koji made in July, and some are pickling vegetables. You can even see that the people are wearing big coats, and they are busy and wealthy. scene.

Zhang Fei pondered, this is only two miles away, is the gap that big?

Zhang Fei couldn't help but asked an old man.

"Old man? What's going on here? Why are you poor over there, and your clothes are as thin as the wings of a fly, but you are here, rich and well-off, wearing thick coats, and still making bacon?"

The villagers were simple and honest, and they blurted out Zhang Fei's words.

The old man replied, "To tell you the truth, a few months ago, our village was the same as the neighboring village, but now it's different... Mr. Huang's 'Mianshui Villa' suddenly poured into a group of people. 2000 people... So many people have to eat and live... So, our village can make a living! Our village... can be supported? Mr. Huang is generous, he never cut us off, and every family also There is food left."

The old man said this...

A middle-aged man with a half-fan pig on his back happened to pass by, and couldn't help but add: "Not only that, I heard that there are also refugees and beggars in Mianshui Villa... Mr. Huang is benevolent, he is more than just feeding In our village, one or two thousand refugees and beggars are also supported by him, no...Recently, Mr. Huang has been recruiting a lot of people! In the next village, those strong and poor people have all rushed over. !"

Hearing this, Zhang Fei rolled his eyes, "Then why don't you go?"

The middle-aged man waved his hand, "Not just anyone can go. Mr. Huang is very strict with his investigation. Either the three generations of his ancestors are in our local area, or he escaped from the turmoil in the Central Plains. But one of the ordinary people is here. Soochow, those who are officials in the north, or those who have committed crimes... don’t want any of them?"

"How does he know that someone in your family is in the north? An official in the east? How does he know that you have committed crimes?"

Zhang Fei blinked his eyes again and again, he was so curious.

"Hey..." This time it was the old man who explained, "They are all from ten miles and eight villages, who doesn't know who? If there is someone who doesn't know anyone, how can Mr. Huang be willing to use it!"

--Hey!

Zhang Fei's eyeballs must be, and he muttered to himself, this "Mianshui" villa is interesting.

and many more…

After a long brain circuit, Zhang Fei came back to it.

——"Refugees, beggars? 』

——"Then Hong Qigong, didn't he set up a gang of beggars?Beggars... Beggars?Could it be that a group of beggars got together? 』

With this in mind, Zhang Fei immediately asked.

"Then do you know who Hong Qigong is?"

The old man and the middle-aged man looked at each other, then shook their heads.

However, the middle-aged man reminded. "Hong Qigong is amazing. With a little trick, Soochow can be crushed. Jiangling City...everyone mentions that this Hong Qigong is a dragon who sees his head but never tail. How can we know... Hong Qigong is Who? But..."

Zhang Fei was about to sigh, but a "but" suddenly lifted his spirits again.

He quickly took out a large bag of money from his pocket, and grabbed a handful for each of the two people in front of him, "I won't let you talk for nothing, tell me everything you know!"

this…

The old man and the middle-aged man looked at each other. The old man put away the money and said truthfully: "Actually, there is nothing that cannot be said. Everyone in the village is talking about it."

"What are you talking about?" Zhang Fei was in a hurry, "Damn it, can you, old man, not go out of your way."

The old man said slowly: "Hong Qigong, although we don't know who it is, but...the 'Huang Laoxie' that is always mentioned in the market...we guess..."

The old man maintained his slowness as always, but it was the middle-aged man who said first: "People in the village speculate that 'Huang Laoxie' is Mr. Huang from the 'Mianshui' Villa... Think about it, his surname is Huang, and now ...recruiting so many people, and the legendary artifacts and weapons? Besides Mr. Huang who has this ability, who else can it be?"

Ha ha…

Zhang Fei was delighted, he had already thought about the identity of "Huang Laoxie".

Only, there is no direct evidence.

But now...

Zhang Fei's eyeballs must be.

Not bad, Hong Qigong was not found, but Huang Laoxie was found, which is a surprise!

Thinking about this...

Suddenly the gate of Mianshui Villa opened.

Zhang Fei noticed that at the gate, an old man, wearing a leather coat, riding a donkey, with a wine gourd hanging from his waist, was leisurely walking towards the outside of the villa. He shook the wine gourd from time to time, as if his mouth Hungry, he came out to beg for wine from the villagers.

While walking, he was still reciting a little poem.

——"The north wind is cold overnight, and the clouds are thin for thousands of miles; the wind blows in the sky, changing the old world."

——"Looking up at the Taixu, it is suspected that it is a jade dragon fighting; it is about to fly a lin armor, and it will be all over the universe in the future. Riding a donkey to beg for wine, I only sigh that the plum blossoms are thin."

This poem seems to be predicting...

Heavy snow is coming.

Hearing this, Zhang Fei couldn't calm down. He stretched out his arms and crossed his legs and ran towards Huang Chengyan, just like a 50-year-old child, shouting while running.

"Old Huang, Old Huang..."

"Finally I found it, so you are that Huang Laoxie!"

In Zhang Fei's opinion.

It doesn't matter if you can't find Hong Qigong... Finding Huang Laoxie is enough to explain to Zhuge Kongming.

...

...

But it was only one night, and the weather suddenly turned cold.

The dry air in the air makes people's faces dry and cracked, which is a sign that the "dry season" is coming.

After bidding farewell to Yang Yi, Guan Yu did not go directly back to Jiangling City, but rushed to the camp where the Guan family army was stationed to handle some military affairs.

Ma Liang also followed, as a suggestion for Guan Yu.

Guan Ping was the general of Yamen, and he was already waiting for orders under Guan Yu's account.

Guan Xing, Guan Yinping, and Guan Suo, as village chiefs, shouldn't be here.

But because of their special identities, their seats are reserved in the big tent.

"In Changsha County, Liao Li prefect Liao Li made a decisive decision when he discovered the weapon fight and seized the ordnance. It is a meritorious service, but General Liu Pan's attack for thousands of miles is also indispensable. He should be commended!"

At the moment Ma Liang is reporting.

Just now, what he and Guan Gonggong were discussing was that in the Guanshan Cave in Changsha County, there was a large-scale fight of bones, and the Changsha County Governor finally seized the military equipment.

During this period, because of the attention of Guan Yu and Ma Liang, Liu Pan was appointed in advance to rush thousands of miles to remind Liao Li, the governor of Changsha.

Working tirelessly, running day and night.

Liu Pan was indeed rewarded.

Of course, the biggest credit for this is how can he hide from that stinky boy Guan Lin?
At this moment, Guan Yuyou was angry with Guan Lin, he just nodded, "General Liu Pan is the son of Liu Jingsheng, loyal to the eldest brother, the reward should not be too light, Ji often needs to carefully consider it."

"Here!" Ma Liang took the order.

certainly…

In this incident, actually... there was an episode. According to the emergency report, when Liu Pan sent Guan Gong's handwriting to Changsha County, there was actually a magical note in the handwriting.

It reads: "Tomorrow at noon, there will be a surprise in the cave at the foot of Guanshan Mountain. The eunuch must bring his troops here. When there is a harvest, don't let it be too early, and don't let it be too late!"

If we talk about this note, these miraculous words, at that time... could not cause too much sensation.

But... But the signature on the note inevitably makes people daydream.

Because the signature is precisely - Hong Qigong!

Liao Li and Liu Pan also asked Guan Yu in the urgent letter sent back, did "Hong Qigong" give this note to Guan Gong?

But in fact, where did Guan Yu know what the note was?
I don't even know the contents of this note.

It is because of this one that Guan Yu and Ma Liang were able to draw several new conclusions on the clues about "Hong Qigong".

First, Huang Laoxie and Hong Qigong are by no means alone.

But it is very possible that the two of them knew each other;
Second, if Huang Laoxie is Huang Chengyan, then... Hong Qigong is probably about the same age as him, and they are inseparable!
This point can be judged from the address of "old man" by the disciples of the beggar gang.

If so...

Then there is a possibility that "Hong Qigong" is Mr. Sima Hui, Mr. Shuijing, who had a good relationship with Huang Chengyan, a famous scholar in Miannan, or Mr. Pang De, who lived in seclusion in Lumen Mountain!

Of course, the former is more likely.

Because the latter Pang Degong's son Pang Shanmin, the one who married Zhuge Liang's second sister, is now Cao Wei's "official man"!
Considering Pang Shanmin's identity, it seems that the father Pang Degong did not come out of the mountain to help Guan Yu!

Of course... these are all conjectures.

It is not a topic that can be discussed on the bright side.

What's more, there is another possibility.

"Huang Laoxie" is not just Huang Chengyan, Guan Lin is also a part of "Huang Laoxie".

If so, then... considering Guan Lin's close relationship with these beggar gang disciples.

He must know the true identity of that "old man" of the beggar gang - Hong Qigong.

Actually... there is a misleading here.

If it weren't for "Hong Qigong", the identity of the "old man" would be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Also because of the misleading of this clue, Guan Yu and Ma Liang have already judged Hong Qigong's true identity enough.

But... At least for now, it is certain that Hong Qigong must be a friend rather than an enemy!
Regarding the military affairs of Changsha County, it is the last military affairs discussed today.

It stands to reason that this military meeting in the Guan family army's big tent is over.

but…

Guan Yu specially left Ma Liang, Guan Ping, Guan Xing, Guan Yinping, and Guan Suo behind.

He found that he was also drunk.

I wanted to use other things to change my mood, stop thinking about that brat Guan Lin, and think about this brat, but... for no reason, that brat Guan Lin is like a lingering slut Filled his head.

Especially the most ruthless words.

Obviously thinking about it would make him very angry, he would be angry, but somehow... Guan Yu would feel like he was on the edge of a horn, and he would think about it.

——"Father, you are a bit shameless now, aren't you?

——"Those Liannu and sidecars, father...does he want to 'shame your face' and say that they were captured by the Guan family army?"

——"Father, have you nothing to say? Or are you speechless?"

——"A father may not want face, but a child needs face!"

Guan Yu felt that he was ill, he was suffering from a very serious heart disease.

It was like this during the meeting just now, and it is still the same now that the meeting is over, all he can think about is Guan Lin's words!

They were all, this rebellious son who was about to drive him to death.

Guan Yu naturally didn't know that this was indeed a disease, but not a heart disease...

If you want to rule, forget it, let's change to a son!

Standing up slowly, Guan Yu felt "the world was spinning" for a while... He collected himself and couldn't help asking these sons.

"Tell me, what do you mean by 'If you lack talent, you will be resourceful, and if you lack knowledge, you will worry too much'? What do you mean, 'If you lack prestige, you will get angry, and if you lack trust, you will talk more'?"

--ah…

As soon as this remark came out, Guan Ping, Guan Xing, Guan Yinping, and Guan Suo were called out, and even Ma Liang was shocked.

How come he got around to Guan Lin again.

"Tell me!"

Seeing that everyone was silent, Guan Yu took a step lightly, his tone was not serious, as if he was discussing this issue with Ma Liang and his sons and daughters.

But... Guan Ping and the others dare to answer.

In their view, it was because of this that the father almost fainted from the anger of the fourth brother (brother). This is a proposition.

"Guan Gong..." Ma Liang said, intending to comfort him.

We must help Guan Gong get out of this dead end as soon as possible!
"Don't say anything else..." Guan Yu's words were still very gentle, "Ji Chang will explain these four sentences first..."

this…

Sensing Guan Yu's persistence, Ma Liang could only bite the bullet and explain, "Yunqi said, 'If you lack talent, you will be resourceful; if you lack knowledge, you will worry too much'; After careful consideration for a long time, there is no source for Yunqi's words in ancient books. The so-called "the ancients are sincere and never deceive me" is nothing but fiction. 'If you don't know enough, you can reflect on yourself'!"

Ma Liang's words were considered to be evasive.

On the other hand, Guan Yu stroked his beard, "Hehe, unexpectedly, even Ji Chang didn't dare to explain what Yun Qi said, so let me tell you... This kid Yun Qi said that a certain person lacks intelligence and knowledge. , lack of prestige, lack of credibility... It is precisely because of these four deficiencies that Guan is resourceful, worrying, angry, and talkative."

speak here.

Guan Yu raised his eyes and looked around at Guan Ping, Guan Xing, Guan Yinping, and Guan Suo, "Tell me, is being a father really as miserable as Yun Qi said?"

This...is another sending proposition.

A group of children from the Guan family looked at each other. At this time, they knew... It was meaningless to simply flatter their father.

The fourth brother's words were indeed a bit heavy, so heavy...it had already deeply hit his father's confidence.

At this moment, Guan Suo took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "My child has the audacity to ask my father...what is the reason for this? Fourth Brother said these words? If my child doesn't know the reason, how can I judge?"

Guan Suo's words can be regarded as saying what Guan Ping and Guan Xing wanted to say but dared not say.

They went to Jiangxia...how do they know what happened here?
And how to evaluate this time... the dispute between the fourth brother and his father.

"It's also...you don't know the whole story." Guan Yu's tone was still very light, he looked at Ma Liang, "Ji Chang will tell you..."

"it is good!"

So, Ma Liang told all the ins and outs of this incident.

Including the background of this matter.

——Yang Yi's purpose in coming to Jingzhou!

——Military Master Kong Ming pointed out his intention to test Guan Lin!
In other words, Guan Lin is very likely to become Kong Ming's closed disciple!
And precisely because of these, Guan Yu spared no effort to let Yang Yi see Guan Lin's contribution, see Guan Lin's talent...

Naturally, he was also full of expectations for Kong Ming's teaching test.

Can be…

But for the first question, Guan Lin's answer made everyone's eyes drop.

Perfunctory... It's a completely perfunctory, nonsense answer!

It was precisely because of this answer that Guan Yu and Guan Lin were at loggerheads on the spot, and the next day, they detained the tiger and leopard cavalry...forcing Guan Lin to change the answer.

This is cause and effect!

even…

Ma Liang also explained for Guan Yu earnestly.

"Even in the end, Yunqi still didn't change this answer sheet. Your father loved and hated him deeply. You said that with this nonsense answer sheet, you lost the chance to become the closed disciple of Zhuge Junshi. What a pity for Yu Yunqi? What a loss for Yu Guan Gong?"

"For this reason, Guan Gong specially went to see Yang Yi off, and specially handed Yang Yi a letter written by himself to Kong Ming, and asked Yang Yi to explain to Kong Ming. How proud is your father? He put down his posture, can make This step... is really hard to come by, really not easy!"

Following Ma Liang's words came out.

There was silence.

Guan Yinping witnessed the whole incident, and she knew... Maybe it was really the fourth brother's fault this time.

But with the temperament of the fourth brother, how easy is it for him to admit his mistake?
Guan Ping and Guan Xing frowned, as if... their thinking was similar to Guan Yinping's.

Only Guan Suo has the best and closest relationship with Guan Lin, and he is also the brother who knows Guan Lin best.

He immediately complained for Guan Lin.

"Why does father know? The fourth brother's answer is nonsense and perfunctory? Just in case... just in case..."

Because the speaking speed was too fast, Guan Suo hadn't organized the language yet, and stumbled in the middle of speaking.

He paused for a moment, then continued speaking. "If...if Cao Cao really left Hanzhong, then...then there will be a crisis in Sichuan? Naturally, there is no need to raise military supplies, food and grass to fight the enemy north. The answer of the fourth brother is 'if you can't make it, you can't make it. There is no need to make up', although the words are rough, the reasoning is not rough, so naturally it is right!"

Following Guan Suo's words...

Guan Yu and Ma Liang looked at each other subconsciously.

——"What Weizhi said...is really exactly the same as what Yunqi said. 』

Guan Yu recalled.

Just this morning, the night before their father and son completely "exploded", Guan Lin did explain his answer sheet.

What he meant was——Cao Ren will die soon, Cao Cao will return to Xiangfan immediately, and the danger in Hanzhong will be solved easily!

Naturally... there is no need to collect food!
Honestly, go back to sleep and sleep, it becomes the best solution...

Can…

Isn't this kind of nonsense?
Is Cao Ren cold?

Hehe, how is that possible?

Cao Ren is not a dying old man, his body has never been ill, he is in the middle of his life, how can he say that he will be cold when he is cold?
You Guan Lin can pinch and count after all, you have to have evidence, right?
It is not an exaggeration to say that even if countless knives fell from the sky above Xiangyang City, how can this kid guarantee that he will be able to insert Cao Ren's vital points?
Guan Yu was too lazy to explain to Guan Suo.

call…

He sat down helplessly and let out a long breath.

He closed his eyes, and what he thought of... was the letter he wrote to Kong Ming.

That's what the letter says.

"—Kong Ming is well. It has been three years since we left Jingzhou, and I am filled with emotion. Thinking back to the past, three of my brothers were sworn brothers in Taoyuan, and it has been eight years since I visited Mr. Yu thatched three times...Mr. Shui Jing once said, Wolong , Fengchu, one person can win the world, and then because of his elder brother's respect and virtuous corporal, fortunately, Mr. Shuijing said, he won Mr. Wolong in Jingzhou."

Guan Yu's letter seems to have nothing to do with Guan Lin's answer sheet.

It is only the last sentence added.

——"Kong Ming took the test to teach Yunqi, this is a blessing for the Guan family. This son is aloof and has a temperament like Guan. What's more, he was at odds with Guan when he answered the paper. Therefore, there are some prevarications and nonsense in the answer. Look at Kong Ming. Do not mind!"

The whole article is eloquent, with hundreds of words, and there is only one sentence to excuse Guan Lin.

Need to know.

In Guan Yu's life, has he ever been so humble?Why was it so praised by others?Why have you ever put on a low profile like this.

Not to mention Zhuge Kongming, even when facing Liu Bei.

Every sentence in the whole article...every praise for Zhuge Liang, this so-called - Guan Yu Wumo, is intended for Yunqi!

Guan Yu was sure...if it was Kong Ming, he would be able to understand it.

It's just that such a letter with "meaningful meaning and love for children" is probably going to make Kong Ming laugh.

at this time.

Zhou Cang broke into the army tent and reported with his hands folded: "General, outside the door... there is a civil official with a messenger asking to see him, saying that it is an urgent message from Xiangfan's emissary!"

While speaking, Zhou Cang had already handed the urgent mail to Guan Yu.

"Send them in!"

It's about a military dispatch...or a dispatch sent back from Xiangfan's secret agent.

Guan Yu quickly ordered.

While talking, Zhou Cang went out.

At the same time, Guan Yu quickly unfolded the urgent mail in his hand, and Ma Liang also stood on tiptoe, very curious about this urgent mail from Xiangfan.

Of course, Ma Liang knew that spies' letterheads often needed to be engraved, and even if they saw the content of the letter, they didn't know its meaning.

And with the letterhead opened.

Guan Yu quickly used the engraving block to find useful words, connected them, and compared the first sentence.

And this first sentence made him slightly taken aback.

——Xiangyang City... Cao Ren and Cao Chun were assassinated!
Guan Yu was still thinking, he didn't give the order, let Xizuo assassinate, and immediately looked at Ma Liang, "Ji Chang gave the order to let Xiangfan's eyeliner assassinate the enemy general?"

"No..." Ma Liang shook his head again and again, he had no idea!
Guan Yu followed... and looked down.

Through the engraving, the second sentence is ready to come out.

——Cao Chun died on the spot!
What Guan Yu subconsciously thought of was...Cao Chun returned to Xiangyang City alive?Originally, Guan Yu thought that he had died in Sunset Valley.

Therefore, Cao Chun's death did not attract Guan Yu's attention.

And just then...

The engraving moves down again, and the third sentence is being pieced together...

The first two characters are "Cao Ren"...

——"Cao Ren...what's wrong? 』

Guan Yu spelled out this complete sentence while thinking.

At this moment, his Danfeng eyes contracted, as if he had seen a ghost, he was dumbfounded, he pondered briefly, and then he completely ignored his demeanor and dignity, and he roared loudly.

——"Cao Ren was assassinated and has been in a coma ever since!"

Only this sentence.

Suddenly, the entire big tent became silent.

Including Guan Yu, everyone fell into a long silence.

I'm afraid the air is suddenly quiet!
...
