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

Chapter 379 Becoming a Son Like Sun Zhongmou?This is a joke!
It was three poles high in the sun, and outside Ling Tong's mansion in Yuhang, Wu County, there were constantly loud knocking on the door and scolding.

The housekeeper knew through a door that the visitor was not kind, so he asked in a trembling voice, "Who are you?"

"Is this the Ling Mansion? Just now, the Wujun Palace captured a thief who stole items from the palace, and he confessed that all the stolen items were hidden in the Ling Mansion... Now, under the order of Captain Zhou Qi, the Ling Mansion is being searched, and the members of the Ling Mansion must not obstruct it!"

What he said was undeniable, the housekeeper panicked, and just about to ask the patriarch Ling Tong for instructions, the door was already slammed open...

"You...do you know that this is the mansion of General Ling Tong? Do you know...who is my patriarch? Who is my old patriarch? My Ling family...has made great contributions to Soochow!"

The butler was staggered by the bump, got up and grabbed a sergeant and asked him in panic.

These soldiers didn't care about this, they pushed him down again.

"This theft alarmed Marquis Wu, and Marquis Wu ordered General Lu Meng and Captain Zhou Xunqi to jointly investigate... No matter who it is? How can they stop Marquis Wu's edict? Go away—"

...

...

In the bustling Yuhang county government, more than [-] soldiers are listed on the officialdom around the county government. These soldiers are all from the Lujiang Zhou family. They are Zhou Xun's trilogy.

Lu Meng and Zhou Xun walked out of the county government office. Both of them were wearing capes. Two guards stood beside Lu Meng and Zhou Xun holding sabers. Against the backdrop of the sabers, Lu Meng and Zhou Xun's figures looked majestic.

Outside the layers of soldiers.

"Report—" A soldier rushed over quickly, knelt down on one knee, and his voice came out, "I have broken into Ling's mansion to search..."

Lu Meng asked, "Did you see General Ling Tong?"

"no!"

Lu Meng's tone was as cold as ever, he glanced around Zhou Xun, then turned his eyes to the group of Qu in front of him again, and said flatly: "If Ling Tong dares to act rashly..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Xun said first: "If General Ling Tong dares to lead his people to resist Wu Hou's will, it will be regarded as treason. As Wu Hou's personal cavalry captain, he should not ask whether he is right or wrong. , capture Ling Tong and the Ling clan together..."

"it is good!"

Lu Meng once again looked at Zhou Xun with approving eyes, and he waved his hand.

"Go to Ling Mansion—"

...

...

The door of Ling's house was wide open, and the government officials drove straight in.

"Search carefully for me. All boxes, cabinets, and under the bed must be searched, and all books and documents must be sealed! Anywhere, not even a tree, not a single flower!"

The soldiers rummaged around, and the books, clothes, weapons, and sundries in the entire Ling Mansion were thrown all over the floor.

Even the armor and spear left behind by Ling Tong's father, Ling Cao, fell to the ground and were trampled upon.

Ling Tong, who originally planned to go to the mountains today to recruit those mountain people, rushed over when he heard the sound, and said in surprise: "What are you doing? Do you know where this is? How can you be so presumptuous here?"

Zhou Xun has already arrived here, and replied loudly: "Where are you? Wu Hou ordered, I will come here according to the order, and continue to search—"

Ling Tong frowned. This was the first time he saw Zhou Xun, and he felt that this boy was domineering. He looked at him carefully, "Who are you?"

"Captain riding, Zhou Xun!"

"Zhou Lang's son?"

Before Ling Tong could blurt out, some soldiers had already pushed Ling Tong, yelling dirtyly: "Get out of the way."

Never thought about it, but was pushed to the ground by Ling Tongtong's palm.

Zhou Xun sighed softly, "I have heard for a long time that General Ling is highly skilled in martial arts, and he is the leader among our younger generation..." While speaking, Zhou Xun suddenly made a move, Ling Tong also made a move to resist, and the two exchanged a few moves.

Zhou Xun was too far behind in the end. He was defeated and was subdued by Ling Tong. He secretly gritted his teeth, took out a dagger from his arms, and went straight to Ling Tong, but was dodged by Ling Tong, and took advantage of the situation to press Zhou Xun against the wall. On the ground, the cold blade was stuck to his face.

"Young Master Zhou, if it wasn't for your deceased father's sake, you would have died—"

Zhou Xun wanted to resist, but after several fights, he could feel... Although the age difference between him and Ling Tong was only ten years old, the gap in kung fu between them was simply a gap.

Ling Tong, the No. 1 heroic young man in Soochow, really lived up to his reputation.

"Stop with performance—"

At this time, Lu Meng rushed over here and shouted loudly. He saw Ling Tong's iron blade with a cold light on Zhou Xun's face, and stepped forward to snatch the dagger. He looked directly at Ling Tong, "Gongji, Search Ling's mansion, this is Wu Hou's order, and Captain Zhou Qi and I are following orders, if you hurt him, it will be tantamount to betraying Wu Hou and Jiangdong!"

This is out of the way...

All the members of the Ling family shouted loudly: "Before the patriarch was not around, Marquis Wu imprisoned my people... This time he is bullying others like this, how can there be such a master in this world?"

"That's right... Wu Hou decided to blame the patriarch for blatantly contradicting him, so he abolished the public and blamed the patriarch!"

A sentence from the clansman's words came to Ling Tong's ears, which made his mood complicated and sad.

Lu Meng reminded: "Gongji, you have to think about it... You can eat food, but you can't talk!"

This sentence was like the last straw that crushed Ling Tong, making him realize that the one who is going to search his mansion now is not Zhou Xun, nor Lu Meng, but Wu Hou Sun Quan who is going against him now!
He thought that Sun Quan would hold grudges against him because of his contradictory, but he didn't expect... the revenge came so quickly!

call…

With a long breath, Ling Tong stepped forward slowly, and said with an apologetic smile: "General Lu is merciful, just now this junior is ignorant and offended Mr. Zhou Xun, I hope General Lu will not care about this junior."

While speaking, Ling Tong stepped aside, looked into Lu Meng's shining eyes, and said softly, "Since General Lu and Mr. Zhou are ordered to search, let's search, I dare not stop them!"

"Continue to search..." Zhou Xun gave an order, and the soldiers continued to rummage through the Ling Mansion, making a mess everywhere.

In the entire mansion, all Ling Tong's clansmen looked at Zhou Xun and Lu Meng unconvinced, and some older ones muttered distressedly: "Be gentle, they are all things left by the old patriarch, don't drop them!" !"

Not long after, several large boxes were moved to the courtyard, before Lu Meng and Zhou Xun.

Lu Meng looked at these boxes, frowned and said, "That's all?"

"Yes!"

"Open it! This general will check it out himself."

At this time, a member of the Ling family realized that this was a box given to the "people in the mountains" by the patriarch, and they threw themselves on the box, "This is the property left by my old patriarch to the son, and this has to be opened. How are you and the robbers?" different?"

Ling Tong held back the clansman, and said in relief: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm not afraid of the shadow, it's just some money, let them check, let them check—"

The clansman wept and said, "The patriarch was reluctant to eat or wear clothes. He distributed all the gold and silver earned from military exploits to the poor families of the clan. This... this is the last money left by the old patriarch."

Ling Tong endured the pain. He originally planned to use the money left by his father to recruit soldiers and save people, but now...

"Let him check, let him check!"

Lu Meng casually turned over the members of the Ling family who were blocking the box, and opened the box with a wave of his hand.

A group of Ling family members burst into tears, "Patriarch, what's wrong with our family? What's wrong?"

Ling Tong said resolutely: "My loyalty, Ling Tong, can shine through the sun and the moon. If Marquis Wu wants to investigate, then let them investigate?"

At this time, Lu Meng had already taken out the golden and jade utensils in the box, and carefully looked at each of them. At first, he thought that they were just exquisite daily-use utensils, which was nothing unusual, but suddenly his eyes were caught by a huge gold and jade utensils. Gloves attract.

He picked up the golden glove, felt something strange in his hand, inspected it carefully for a while, and pulled it hard.

Unexpectedly, the golden glove was actually torn open, and a thin piece of "wood carving" fell out from the inside. The wood carving was full of small holes.

Lu Meng bent down to pick up the wood carving, Zhou Xun had already exclaimed.

"——It's an engraving!"

Lu Meng was slightly startled, then sneered, "Finally found it!"

...

...

The sun is already in the west, and the sunset glows.

Zhang Liao waited lingeringly in front of the gate of the Shouchun City Government Office. Xu Chu just went in to report and came out again.

Zhang Liao's eyes lit up, and he leaned forward, but Xu Chu said coldly: "The Prime Minister is still missing, General Zhang, go back!"

Zhang Liao was a little frustrated, but quickly raised his hand, "Zhongkang, you and I are loyal to the Prime Minister, and it is a fateful friendship. Please inform me again, and say that Zhang Liao has something to see."

"General Zhang, do you think this is a restaurant? General Zhang wants to see the prime minister, so the prime minister will meet you?" Xu Chu roared angrily, but lowered his voice.

After all, it is the friendship accumulated over the decades, and they are close to each other in their hearts.

Immediately, his address to Zhang Liao also changed.

"Wen Yuan, it's because of your fateful friendship that I can't inform you again. Do you know that now that our wars in the Great Wei have been blocked, pieces of information are raining down on the prime minister? Before, how many things did the Prime Minister have to deal with? How can I have the time to work hard for your female lover?"

"Wen Yuan, it's just a woman. As the prime minister's favorite general, do you want any kind of woman? You change ten little mother skins overnight, and the prime minister won't scold you, but it's Hua who you want to save. Tuo's female disciple? Was Hua Tuo going to open the prime minister's head? Have you forgotten? Why are you so obsessed with ghosts?"

Listening to Xu Chu's words, Zhang Liao had mixed feelings...

How could he not know what he was doing?
But he, Zhang Liao, is a man of righteousness, he can't just watch Zhuo Rong save his life, but he is deeply imprisoned and dies at any time!
He... Zhang Liao, how could he do nothing?
Helpless and anxious, Zhang Liao saw a drum in front of the mansion in Shouchun City. He strode forward, picked up the drumstick, and slammed it on.

Xu Chu was startled suddenly, and chased him to fight for the drumstick, cursing loudly: "Are you provoking the prime minister? Are you dying?"

Zhang Liao threw him away with all his strength, and said loudly: "I just want to see the prime minister"...

Immediately afterwards, he continued to beat the drum as if no one else was around.

Finally, Xu Chu managed to grab the drumstick with great strength, but the sound of the golden drum had already reached Cao Cao's ears in the mansion.

Both Cao Cao and Jia Xu heard the sound of drums in the study.

Jia Xu twirled his beard, and sighed with emotion: "Unexpectedly, General Zhang Wenyuan is still a person with true temperament."

"You still can talk..." Cao Cao was not angry, and while listening to Zhang Liao's drum with his eyes closed, he said meaningfully, "If he was alone, he would say that Zhang Wenyuan, like his former masters Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo, would kill women hand!"

Jia Xu pondered for a while, but still met Cao Cao's gaze: "How long is the prime minister planning to hide from General Wen Yuan?"

This sudden sentence made Cao Cao stop, the corners of his mouth suddenly opened, and all the seriousness just now disappeared.

"Ha ha ha ha…"

He laughed out loud, "Didn't Wenhe let Gu conspire against the Guan family father and son?"

Speaking of this, Cao Cao's eyes became deeper and deeper. He pondered for a while before he opened his mouth: "I'm just thinking, all the generals in my Cao Ying, except Wen Yuan? Who else would Guan Yu put in his eyes? Gu Yue If you ignore Wen Yuan, Guan Yu, the 'Jue Bei Dao', will be more determined..."

Having said that, Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief, and his words continued. "This is the seventh time Wen Yuan has pleaded for that woman. Counting the time, the tenth time is the time to capture Yun Chang alone!"

Jia Xu cupped his hands: "The Prime Minister's fortune teller..."

Cao Cao waved his hand, "Don't flatter me, you old bastard, this is all your poisonous plan, but do the math, on the other side... Soochow, Zhongde has already started to act?"

Cao Cao's voice just fell.

"Report-"

Three school officials dressed in black broke into the study and knelt down on one knee when they saw Cao Cao.

The first person reported first: "Prime Minister, Mr. Cheng flew a pigeon to send back the news, and everything is going well... The letter paper has been intercepted by soldiers from the Eastern Wu Dynasty, and Mr. Cheng has persuaded the people in Yuhang Mountain in Wu County to hide the engraving in Ling Tong's house." In the gift box, send it to the Ling family mansion!"

With Cao Cao's nod.

The No.2 head of the school reported: "Guan Yu led [-] soldiers and horses across the Han River and stationed in the east of Pinglu City, south of Yancheng, and west of Xinye City, covering Fancheng completely. Xu Huang, Pound, The three generals of Yu Jin have already withdrawn from Fancheng first, and they were secretly placed in Pinglu City, Yancheng City, and Xinye City... standing firm and waiting for help."

Hearing this, Cao Cao smiled and said to Jia Xu: "Look, look, the fish are about to take the bait, and the lonely fishing net has already been laid—"

The No.3 school official immediately reported: "The first batch of soldiers recruited by General Xiahou, 7 soldiers from the Central Plains are being sent to Wancheng... to be trained in Wancheng, and there will be two more batches of soldiers in half a month, totaling [-] soldiers , the follow-up [-] soldiers will also arrive within one month!"

"Ha ha ha ha…"

Hearing this, Cao Cao laughed, his tiger eyes narrowed a bit, and he became much gentler. He smiled and said: "When it comes to conscription and food storage, it must be Yuan Rang! Pass the order of orphans and add Yuan Ren Let him be the 'Marquis of Gao'an Township', and add thousands of people to his town!"

"No..." The school officials ordered them to retreat one after another.

Hearing this piece of information, Jia Xu's eyeballs rolled, just about to open his mouth with emotion.

——"Everything is going well! 』

But the words have not escaped.

"Report-"

There was another communication, this time it was not an urgent report from the school affairs office, but the Huben army...

It's Xu Chu.

After finally "driving away" Zhang Liao, Xu Chuben let out a long breath, when he suddenly heard an even more shocking report, he rushed over without thinking.

They looked a little terrified.

"Huhou came in such a hurry? What do you need to report?"

Following Cao Cao's questioning, Xu Chu truthfully said: "I just intercepted a letter in the city. The messenger is from Jingzhou. He has already confessed that it was Guan Lin of Jingzhou who sent him to sneak into Shouchun and send the letter to Wenyuan! Agree on Wenyuan's action." ..."

Speaking of the last word "action", Xu Chu's voice trembled.

This letter, this messenger is too appalling.

While speaking, Xu Chu tremblingly handed over the letter to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao unfolded it and saw that it was a letter that promised Zhang Liao to cooperate with the outside world, rescue Zhuo Rong, and then escape from Shouchun City. The letter was signed by Guan Yu, and even the handwriting was very similar to Guan Yu...

It even states the escape route, and the guards who have been bribed can be said to be in detail.

However, after Cao Cao read the letter, "Hahahaha..." He smiled...

He handed the letter to Jia Xu, Jia Xu scanned it, and he also smiled.

Jia Xu said with emotion: "This kind of alienation plan is mostly written by Marquis Wu, right?"

Cao Cao nodded, "I want to kill people with a knife, but I never thought that Sun Zhongmou would also want to kill people with a knife. Haha, if it is really Yun Chang, with his four sons Guan Lin's schemes, how could it be so full of loopholes... Is Sun Zhongmou deceiving the lonely? Gu's suspicious? He underestimated Gu!"

"That's right, the prime minister is never suspicious of loyal and righteous people!"

"Hahaha, I don't doubt that Gu Su will employ people, but I won't use suspicious people, but this captured letter, Wen He...Gu still has to show it, and Sun Zhongmou's painstaking efforts are not in vain... Hahaha..."

Speaking of this, Cao Cao laughed again. The previous laugh was to ridicule Sun Zhongmou for misjudging Cao Cao and underestimating Cao Cao.

The laugh behind him was laughing at himself.

How could he ever say the phrase "Being a child should be like Sun Zhongmou"?

This is a joke in itself——

...

...

The criminal evidence found by Lu Meng and Zhou Xun was quickly presented to Sun Quan.

It was Lu Meng who drove the horse himself, and rushed to send it over seven hundred miles by land and water. Now he is kneeling on one knee in front of Sun Quan, especially a little tired. "The last general searched this engraving in General Ling Tong's mansion. It originally matched the seized letterhead, but it did not form a sentence. But if the letterhead is turned upside down, the sentence will come out. Please have a look, my lord."

Lu Meng arranged the engraving and the letterhead before Sun Quan's eyes.

Sun Quan picked up the letterhead and engraving, and through the small hole, read out the corresponding words: "The situation has changed, people from the mountains have been recruited, Wu County rebelled, and the bottom line is drawn—"

Thinking of this, Sun Quan's expression became extremely gloomy.

Accompanied by a "bang", Sun Quan slapped the letter paper and engraving on the table with a fist, and the pen and ink on the entire table splashed.

In front of Sun Quan stood Gan Ning, Zhu Zhi, Zhu Ran, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, Pan Zhang, Song Qian, Xu Sheng, Ding Feng, He Qi and other generals...

Hearing the words Sun Quan read out, all the soldiers were in disbelief, and they all fell to their knees:
"My lord, maybe it's a misunderstanding..."

"That's right, my lord, maybe someone has alienated me!"

"Ling Tong is the son of Ling Cao, the style of a national scholar, father and son are loyal..."

Lu Meng said frankly: "The letter was intercepted, and the engraving was taken out from Ling's residence. According to the investigation, the day before the engraving was discovered, Ling Tong had sent someone to appease the people in the mountains. Based on this calculation, Wu County rebelled. , It’s not groundless to draw salary from the bottom of the pot!”

Following Lu Meng's words, a group of generals wanted to explain to Ling Tong again, but found...the facts were in front of them, and there was no way to refute them.

In addition, there is also the person in the mountain who is being appeased, which matches the content on the letterhead.

Such a coincidence...is it all by chance?Is it all a misunderstanding?

When everyone was silent, Sun Quan opened his mouth and said: "Misunderstanding? If it is a misunderstanding, this Ling Tong will invite the Northern Expedition Shouchun four times? If it is a misunderstanding, he will confront Gu openly? If it is a misunderstanding, he will recruit the man from the mountain by himself? snort…"

With a cold snort, Sun Quan's tone became even colder.

"Gucai doesn't believe there is any misunderstanding. Ling Tong voted for Wei. He was going to pick up Wei and take him and his people to Nashouchun City! Now the situation has changed, and a new order has come... Do you want to take a drastic drudgery? What a drastic drudgery." , What a villain facing Qin Muchu!"

When it came to the end, Sun Quan's tone was already gnashing his teeth, and his eyes were tearing apart!
