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

Chapter 321 Since we are brothers, then my father is also your father

The barbecue was burning on the stove, and the warm wine was steaming. Zhuge Ke put a piece of roasted beef tenderloin into Zhuoshu's plate.

Zhuo Shu waved his hands again and again, refusing to accept it, and said directly, "The gentleman is far away from the kitchen, how can he eat Yuan Xunzhi's barbecue?"

"It doesn't matter..." Zhuge Ke said with a smile: "In the past, Mencius said that the gentleman was far away from the bull, because King Xuan of Qi saw that the cow was going to be sacrificed, and couldn't bear to see its fearful appearance... He couldn't bear the cow to die without sin. So replace him with a sheep! But what is the difference between a cow and a sheep? According to what King Qi Xuan said, everyone should stay away from the kitchen robe, but from meat..."

"But can people stay away from meat? No! So, this gentleman is far away from the kitchen, just listen to it. I, the son of Yunqi who buried [-] Cao's troops in one night, still eat beef all day long? I haven't seen him. A moment of sympathy!"

Zhuge Ke and Zhuo Shu, a pair of close friends, reunited, and it was inevitable to reminisce about the old days.

But inexplicably, Zhuge Ke's topic was brought to "Guan Lin", as if he couldn't wait to tell this close friend about the deeds of Mr. Yunqi.

at this time.

A civil official hurriedly walked up to the banquet, walked quickly to the side of Liao Hua who was in the position of "host and companion", and whispered a few words to him.

Following these whispers, Liao Hua's eyes widened in vain. He first motioned for the civil servants to step back, then got up and walked to Zhuge Ke's side, knelt down between him and Zhuo Shu, and said calmly.

"Yuan Xun's old friends are reunited. I shouldn't bother you at this time, but...something happened..."

Liao Hua's expression became serious.

Zhuo Shu made a gesture to get up and dodge, but Zhuge Ke grabbed his hand, "Brother Zhuo is one of my own, and he is also the person I intend to recommend to Mr. Yunqi. General Liao may as well speak up if you have something to say..."

After receiving such an answer, Liao Hua also let go of his worries, and said quite seriously: "For Guan Gong's bone scraping to cure poison, someone took the notice..."

Well…

what…

When it comes to this sentence, Zhuge Ke and Zhuo Shu have completely different reactions.

Even Zhuoshu's reaction was bigger and more violent.

Zhuge Ke noticed Zhuo Shu's abnormality and asked quickly, "Brother Zhuo, what does this mean?"

"I think..." Zhuo Shu put down the wine bottle in his hand, and his tone became serious and meticulous, "I think, I know who revealed the list..."

"Who?"

Zhuge Ke just asked.

Milu has already led Zhuo Rong and Ling Tong into the main hall...Because of the urgency of the incident, they couldn't attend to the reunion banquet of best friends.

But when Zhuge Ke turned his head, what he saw was a woman and a young and capable man.

Zhuge Ke didn't know that woman, but this man...

Zhuge Ke couldn't help exclaiming: "It's... it's you?"

Ling Tong exclaimed at the same time as Zhuge Ke.

Zhuge Ke recognized Ling Tong, why didn't Ling Tong recognize Zhuge Ke?
Zhuge Ke looked at Ling Tong in surprise, and Ling Tong also looked at him in surprise.

Zhuge Ke here did not expect that Ling Tong, who disappeared under the fire when Soochow attacked the Feishui camp at night when the intelligence was sent back, was... actually here!

Ling Tong didn't expect that Zhuge Ke, who was only known as "the beautiful jade in Lantian" in Soochow and hadn't been reused before, would be the only one on Jiangxia's side.

Finally, amidst the great surprise, Zhuge Ke was the first to speak: "Does Gongji want to scrape the bones for Guan Gong to cure the poison?"

"I don't have that ability..." Ling Tong looked at the woman beside him, "This girl Zhuo is Hua Tuo's disciple. There is no market in Jiangdong and Huainan. The famous 'Zhuo's Good Medicine' is exactly that. She developed it."

Following Ling Tong's words, Zhuge Ke turned his attention to Zhuo Rong...

He was born in Soochow, so he knew "Zhuo's good medicine", but compared to this, there is no doubt... the identity of Hua Tuo's disciple is even more inconceivable.

At this moment, Zhuo Shu quickly added: "Yuan Xun, her name is Zhuo Rong, she is my sister—"

As soon as this remark came out, Zhuge Ke subconsciously looked back at Zhuoshu.

He murmured inwardly...

This dear friend "went thousands of miles to make an appointment", which brought two "priceless treasures"!

...

...

In Jingzhou, Jiangling City, Fu Shiren came to visit Mi Fang in a luxurious suit.

Although Guan Yu was poisoned by an arrow, it was not important to Fu Shiren...

He claims to be Liu Bei's fourth brother, and his ambition is to make contributions. If the word "self-proclaimed" is completely removed, he wants to become Liu Bei's real fourth brother.

Therefore, what he has always paid attention to is how long he is away from his own merits, and the distance from being regarded squarely by Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang?

Rather than Guan Yu's physical condition.

Mi Fang met him in the backyard of his home, and said with some sadness: "Third brother finally won the situation, the situation where he fought steadily, and the situation of winning is sure, because of Yun Chang's arrow, the whole situation in Jingzhou was suddenly clouded again. Layers of haze! Yun Chang is still in a hurry!"

Fu Shiren persuaded softly: "It's not your fault, I... We have been in charge of overall planning and logistics supplies over the years, but we have never had any mistakes... Even if you are shot by an arrow, in my opinion, Guan Yun is as strong as a cow. If a mere poisonous arrow can hurt him? Then is he worthy of the name of the beautiful bearded man? Is he worthy of the second brother of Uncle Liu? Don't worry, Guan Yunchang will not die, but we should take advantage of this opportunity, the opportunity for us to make meritorious deeds Here we come!"

When it comes to meritorious service, Fu Shiren's eyes are piercing, and he is almost eager to see.

Mi Fang scratched her head, but didn't understand: "How to say?"

Fu Shiren's tone became solemn, "In the past, Guan Yunchang led the Guan family army to be invincible. Whenever there was a battle, the Guan family army was always at the forefront. What's the matter with you and me? Now that Yun Chang has been hit by an arrow, we have a chance to flex our muscles. , You have more than 8000 plays, and I have more than 8000 plays in Gong'an City, we people... have a lot to do!"

Uh…

Hearing this, Mi Fang was startled.

He doesn't have the desire to "be eager to make merit" like Fu Shiren, and he only has three things in his mind-making money, making money, and making money!
He calculated the addition in his heart, and the two of them together have 6000 people, which is a lot...

But what about their abilities?Compared with Guan Yu, it is far behind, can it succeed?
Sure enough, Fu Shiren could clearly see the confusion in Mi Fang's eyes.

He patted Mi Fang on the shoulder, "Zi Fang, you misunderstood, what I mean is...the 'blood is not wet' is sold to the north, and it is extremely popular. 'Under this, many military households married their wives, and they bought this "blood is not wet" to give to their wives one after another, not to mention the girls from rich families, who bought more than a thousand at every turn... The supply in the whole north is already in short supply. How many merchants Are you urging us?"

"There is also blank paper... I never thought that this thing is also extremely popular. Those arty literati have completely replaced the bamboo slips with this high-quality white paper. Just for more than a month, it is better than that of our brothers who are engaged in arms sales." It will be several times stronger in three years..."

"Let's entrust those merchants to buy these 'blood-not-wet' and 'paper' materials for us at a low price, and then make them into blood-not-wet paper and sell them to the north. This is simply picking up wheat to open a mill. A lucrative deal."

Fu Shiren was talking about his business, to be precise, it was the business of the three brothers.

And throughout the entire business, it revolves around eight words:

--Extra cash!Wealth is abundant!

As soon as money was mentioned, Mi Fang swept away the slump just now, and immediately regained her energy. He almost pricked up his ears and listened attentively, feeling very itchy in his heart...

If he hadn't been in charge of building Jiangling New City, he would have wanted to witness the spectacular scene of "making money in a proper way".

Fu Shiren's words continued, "According to our third brother's order, in addition to buying materials such as 'blood is not wet' and 'paper', I exchanged other money I earned into food, iron, arrows, weapons, and armor. Waiting... It's not that I'm telling you, now, in the warehouse of our Public Security City, the 6000 people who are enough for our series are all equipped with brand new weapons and armor. With excellent equipment, one can fight ten! "

"Haha, because of the third brother's 'blood is not wet' and "blank paper", our trilogy has long been different from what it used to be!"

No wonder Mi Fang is so confident, the ancient battlefield, the role of equipment is too important...

Why is it awesome to fall into the camp?It is awesome in the well-equipped!

Why are tiger and leopard riders awesome?It is because tiger cavalry is an extremely rare heavy cavalry in this era...

There are almost no legions that can equip people with such armor immediately.

In this world, it is no exaggeration to say that a heavy cavalry charging towards an infantry regiment is as simple as crushing peanuts.

This is also the key to Fu Shiren's straight back.

Just when the two were looking forward to a big fight.

The footsteps of "Tread—" came from outside the courtyard...

Because of the urgent and heavy footsteps, Mi Fang and Fu Shiren couldn't help turning their heads to that side at the same time, but Mi Yang pushed open the moon gate at the entrance of the courtyard heavily, and said loudly: "Father... ah... Uncle Fu is here too... Look who's here ?”

According to Mi Yang's words, besides Guan Lin, who else appeared in the eyes of Mi Fang and Fu Shiren?

"Third brother?"

Mi Fang and Fu Shiren spoke in unison.

From their point of view, at this time, Yun Qi should be worried because of his father Guan Yu's severe sores, but judging from his expression, it seems that there is no grief, replaced by a fierce look.

"Big Brother, Second Brother..."

Guan Lin cupped his hands directly and saluted the two sworn brothers who "forgot the year".

The two stepped forward at the same time, grabbed Guan Lin, and Fu Shiren hurriedly said: "Third brother, this is our own home, how can we salute? Speaking of which, I am still worried about you!"

Guan Lin let out a long breath with a "hoo", and he said heavily: "Big Brother, Second Brother...Are we sworn brothers? We don't want to be born in the same year, the same month and the same day, but we want to die in the same year, the same month and the same day!"

Guan Lin blurted out this abrupt sentence...

Mi Fang quickly waved her hand, "Sir, don't say that, it seems that your elder brother and I are taking advantage of you. We don't want to be born in the same year, the same month, and the same day, but we have to ask for the same year, the same month, and the same day to die. My brothers are so much older than you. I can't bear to have you and me die together! This is the brother's love for you..."

"Second brother is right." Fu Shiren patted Guan Lin on the shoulder, "Our sworn brothers are closer than real brothers!"

These words, they both said from the bottom of their hearts...

Not for anything else, just for one thing.

——The third brother can make money for the second brother!
——The third brother can make contributions for the elder brother!
At this time, Guan Lin blurted out again: "Since we are brothers, then my father, is it the father of the eldest brother or the second brother..."

Uh…

As soon as these words came out, Mi Fang and Fu Shiren looked at each other, and felt that this relationship should not be discussed in this way!
This is "everything is different", you call me brother, I call you brother father, although the seniority is a bit messy, but it is still stable.

But this... Fu Shiren and Mi Fang felt a little embarrassed when Guan Lin said this suddenly.

But if you don't answer, it's just that the atmosphere is here.

"Yes...is it..." Mi Fang's tone was still a little stumbling.

But Fu Shiren gritted his teeth. Thinking of the hope of great merit brought to him by his third brother, he straightened his back, "It's only natural, your father is my father...and your second brother's father..."

Hearing what they said, Guan Lin was relieved. He stretched out his hands and put them on the shoulders of the two, "Brother, Brother, now that our father is being bullied, we can't forget about it!"

Speaking of this, Fu Shiren became more energetic, "I was still talking about this with your second brother just now? Our father, ah no... your father was seriously injured by the arrow shot by Pang De, and your second brother and I were about to go Get him back..."

Fu Shiren made such a statement, no matter how "not warlike" Mi Fang is, in this situation, she must also express her opinion, "Yes, your elder brother has [-] plays in hand, and I also have [-] plays in my hand. If it is not enough , the second brother will recruit again, and the third brother... you can say how to fight! You let us deploy troops whenever you want, and we can deploy troops at any time. Wherever you point, the eldest brother and the second brother will fight!"

Mi Fang looked eager to try, and directly raised the big knife on the weapon rack in the courtyard...

However, this knife is called "Huanglong Yanyue Knife", and it is a bit heavy. It is very difficult for Mi Fang to lift it. She wanted to dance the knife and show her face...

As a result, I was out of breath, and there were sweat marks on my chubby stomach...

It can be seen from this that it is not that he is not good at fighting, but that he is really limited in ability, and he is the type who is very self-aware.

Fu Shiren is different. He has ideals and ambitions. He followed Lao Liu from all over the country.

"Cheng... With the words of the eldest brother and the second brother, I feel relieved younger brother." Guan Lin spread his hands and called Mi Fang and Fu Shiren to come over, "I have a plan——"

Immediately, the three brothers who recognized the same father gathered together, their heads almost touching each other.

Guan Lin began to describe his battle plan in detail...

In the end, without forgetting to raise your voice, add a sentence:
"It is said that ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge, but I can't wait ten years. After a month, I will fight like this... But, big brother, second brother, do you have enough money?"

"Enough!" Fu Shiren patted his chest, "Don't say that 'Blood is not wet' and 'Blank Paper' are very profitable, but they are not rich. It is related to our father...ah no, it is related to the second general, it is related to the third brother... the third brother's father That is my old man, Fu Shiren, even if I, Fu Shiren, go bankrupt, I have to avenge him!"

"That's right... I think so too." Mi Fang also nodded with confidence, and said fiercely: "Little Pound, he will die in a month's time!"

Seeing the stance of the two of them, Guan Lin was suddenly relieved...

Immediately, leave them a piece of paper at the end.

"Brother Lao and Second Brother collected these materials for me... I still have a few places to go, so I will stay soon... Farewell!"

"The wine and meat are all ready..." Mi Fang wanted to keep Guan Lin at the house for dinner.

Fu Shiren did not forget to add a sentence, "I just saw the third brother and knew that the third brother loves beef, but your second brother specially ordered someone to find a cow that had 'not long eyes' that hit the knife edge... tonight I will tell you You stew beef brisket."

"I won't eat." Guan Lin looked at Mi Yang, "Let Luo Geng (Mi Yang) replace me, and let the second brother and his son reunite."

Speaking of this, Guan Lin did not forget to boast: "Speaking of it... I originally wanted to keep Luo Geng in Jiangling to help my second brother build a new city, but I never thought that he would secretly go to Jiangxia. This time in the Jiangxia battlefield, Luo Geng presided over Anlu City law and order, in charge of the governance of the city, is also a great contribution, and it cannot be denied!"

"When this battle is avenged, together with his merits... and the merits of the elder brother and the second elder brother, I will have my father send it to Chengdu, so that the uncle and Zhuge military adviser can have a look!"

Speaking of which...

Guan Lin didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately turned around. Shi Wu was waiting in front of the door. Under Mi Fang and Fu Shiren's eyes, Guan Lin got into the carriage and waved to them through the window.

After the carriage moved, Guan Lin sat down firmly.

Shi Wucai asked, "My lord? Where are you going next?"

"Go to the official medical office and find Miss Ren!" Guan Lin replied indifferently. In fact, it was as early as when he left Jiangling City and separated from Diao Chan more than a month ago.

Guan Lin was worried that after Lingju left, Diao Chan, as a mother, would think wildly, so he specially entrusted her with a matter, to be precise, it was a kind of "medical" research and experiment.

The original intention was to let her find something to do, don't get distracted, people, that's it, much ado about nothing... If you really want to get busy, you won't think about your daughter so much.

I never thought about it.

This unintentional act of Guan Lin, Diao Chan's medical research and experiment, suddenly because of Pang De's poisonous arrow soaked in gold juice and venom, because of the arrow hit by his father Guan Yu, and because of many officers and men of the Guan family army. The wound infection of the wound, and it is very precious!
even…

It makes Guan Lin want to wear it now.

Over there...

As Guan Lin's carriage drove away, Fu Shiren and Mi Fang unfolded the blank paper left by Guan Lin.

To be precise, this is a list, a material that Guan Lin urgently needs.

Of course, among them, such as iron, wood, animal tendons, whetstones, and animal oil for maintaining weapons...

These, both Fu Shiren and Mi Fang can understand.

Especially the tendons of animals...

In this list, Guan Lin needs a lot of this animal "muscle"!
Both Mi Fang and Fu Shiren were warriors, so they naturally knew that this kind of material would only be needed when making strong bows and crossbows!
As for the number in the list, I am afraid that Guan Lin will make tens of thousands of bows and crossbows!
certainly…

Considering that Guan Lin is best at crossbow warfare, the previous "Liannu" is also generous on the battlefield.

Fu Shiren and Mi Fang couldn't help thinking about it.

Looking back... the upcoming battlefield is bound to be another large-scale "crossbow" battlefield...

Thinking of this, Fu Shiren and Mi Fang nodded again and again, looking forward to it for a while.

But... the more I look down, the more I feel something is wrong.

What is this?

Orange?orange?
Oranges grown in Huainan are oranges, and oranges grown in Huaibei are oranges and oranges!
——"What does the third brother want this for?" 』

——"Is he hungry?Want something sour? 』

——"However, this orange and trifoliate...the ones who want more...this..."

Weird!

Both Fu Shiren and Mi Fang fell into confusion. They didn't know what to ask for a large amount of oranges and trifoliate oranges.
besides…

There is also mustard greens on this list... besides oranges and oranges, Guan Lin wants a lot of mustard greens!

This is a vegetable that is abundant in Huarong County... It has become a well-known ingredient since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

To be careful, this mustard must have a beautiful legend.

According to legend, Jin Wengong, one of the Five Hegemons in the Spring and Autumn Period, was killed and fled. The accompanying minister Jie Zitui once cut off the meat from his body to feed Jin Wengong's hunger. Li Lu went into seclusion.

Later, when Duke Wen of Jin learned of Jie Zitui's whereabouts and the reason for his seclusion, he regretted so much that he burned the mountain to force him to come out... Jie Zitui refused to come out of the mountain, unfortunately he was burned to death!

Jin Wengong really "regrets endlessly"...

Of course, this is not the point. The point is that people found Jie Zitui in Mianshan, and found that his body was stronger than before he lived in seclusion, and he was not as thin as he had been after cutting his flesh. Except for a kind of wild vegetable, there was no edible thing found around his hiding place. , So it was determined that Jie Zitui ate this kind of wild vegetables to survive. In order to commemorate Jie Zitui, people named the dish Jie Cai!
However, the day Jin Wengong set fire to the mountain was the day before the Ching Ming Festival. Jin Wengong ordered that on this day, fireworks will be banned in the whole country, and people will eat mustard greens and cold rice.

This... is the beautiful legend about mustard greens!

only…

Mi Fang and Fu Shiren looked at each other, and the more they thought about it, the more they looked at Guan Lin's list containing "orange and orange", including mustard...

They are a little confused...

It's like a picture of Monk Zhang Er who can't figure it out!
——"These things?What can I do? 』

...
