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

Chapter 39

——Hong Qigong?

Zhuge Jin in the post house was a little confused.

When Xi Zuo told Zhuge Jin the name "Hong Qigong", he fell into a huge bewilderment.

In Jingzhou, he had heard of Liao Jiugong;
I also heard that after Huang Chengyan, a famous scholar in Jingzhou, moved from Xiangyang to Jiangling, he was called "Huang Chenggong" by the people here;
I also know that the people and military households call Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang "Guan Gong" because of their awe!
Gong, it's a respectful word!
Those who can deserve the title of "Gong" must be famous people!
But this, Hong Qigong?

Who is Hong Qigong?
You know, because of the historical issue of "Liu Bei borrowing Jingzhou", Soochow has laid out a lot of meticulous work in Jingzhou.

It is not an exaggeration to say that in the entire Jingzhou, there is no one Zhuge Jin does not know about all the people who are famous.

But...this Hong Qigong?

No matter how hard Zhuge Jin tried to remember, he was very sure that the name "Hong Qigong" had never been in his memory.

"Could it be... this Hong Qigong came from the north?"

Zhuge Jin held his chin in one hand, pouted his mouth, and murmured.

But his son Zhuge Ke's tone was firm. "No, this Hong Qigong will never belong to Cao Ying?"

"How can you see that?" Zhuge Jin asked back.

"If Cao Cao sent them, they might bet on Jingzhou, but they definitely won't bet on 'Hefei'."

Zhuge Ke continued to explain: "Father mentioned that when Chibi was defeated, Cao Cao sent a letter to Wuhou, saying that the reason for the defeat was that the soldiers had the plague and were unable to fight any more. Cao Cao set fire to the warship himself, and then retreated. Let Zhou Yu win a big name!"

Zhuge Ke talked eloquently, "Father, just imagine, such a heroic hero fought against Chibi, Huarong fled, and he was in such a state of embarrassment, and he never said he was defeated. How could he take the initiative to mention the fall of Hefei, and even caused Jingzhou's turmoil on the grounds of whether Hefei could be breached?" fight?"

"Father also said that Cao Cao is a hero. Since he is a hero, he will not give up easily, let alone take his own territory as a bet!"

Zhuge Ke's words convinced Zhuge Jin.

He nodded and stroked his beard, but there was more suspicion in his eyes. "According to what my son said, this Hong Qigong is not from the north, but he is not from Jingzhou, so he can't be from our Jiangdong?"

"Maybe! 』

Zhuge Ke's eyes were fixed, as if he had an idea in his mind.

But he didn't point it out, "Father, whether this 'Hong Qigong' is from the north, or Jingzhou, or our Jiangdong, it doesn't really matter at all!"

Well…

Zhuge Jin looked at his son, because of his son's words, after a short thought, he gradually showed surprise on his face, as if he had guessed what his son was going to say next.

Zhuge Ke said with a smile: "Which side Hong Qigong is on is not important at all. The important thing is that now the 'notices' with Guan Yu's three seals are posted everywhere in Jiangling City. The city is full of wind and rain. In a few days, the entire Jiangling , the entire Jingzhou, and even the entire Jiangdong people will know the content of this notice."

"I will also know that if Soochow can capture Hefei, then Guiyang, Changsha, and Jiangxia will belong to Jiangdong forever! This will be the consensus of the entire Jiangdong and Jingzhou people!"

Speaking of this, Zhuge Ke held his head high and his chest high, his eyes squinted at the clouds in the sky through the window, with arrogance.

His tone became more and more confident.

"False is true and true is false, true is false and false is true!"

"The top priority is that it is meaningless for my father to find out who 'Hong Qigong' is. Why not take advantage of this golden opportunity to add fire to this 'announcement' and this 'Hefei Gamble'!"

This…

Zhuge Jin's heart thumped.

He looked at Zhuge Ke and murmured, "What does my son mean?"

"Under this announcement, the city is full of wind and rain..." Zhuge Ke opened his eyes wide and said sincerely, "If at this time, as the father of the Jiangdong envoy, you come forward and tell the people of Jiangling City, then the content of the announcement is true. Yes, it was you who made the decision with Guan Yu, the Sun Liu Alliance really has this "Hefei" bet, wouldn't it be...false is true and sometimes true is also false!"

"Today's Hefei is an isolated city, and Marquis Wu has mobilized one hundred thousand soldiers. It will be easy to capture Hefei within a year. At that time, what face will Guan Yu have? Dominating the three counties of Changsha, Guiyang, and Jiangxia? How dare you question the covenant of 'Xiang River Demarcation', and by that time, father will be the one who won the three counties!"

This…

After a brief surprise, Zhuge Jin looked at his son in surprise, and he shouted: "My son is a great talent!"

Zhuge Ke patted his chest and abdomen confidently.

——"Small tricks are not worth mentioning."

...

...

The sun shines on the nine ridges, inside the majestic Jiangling government office with double eaves.

Guan Yu sat on the main seat with a serious expression.

Ma Liang also frowned and sat aside.

Guan Ping and Guan Xing lined up on both sides, and their expressions were not good-looking.

Zhou Cang, on the other hand, is holding three seals and ribbons, which are the seal of General Dang Kou, the seal of Hanshouting Hou, and the seal of Guan Gong.

He has already checked, and since yesterday, these three seals have not left the official office, and many people can prove it.

In other words, it has been confirmed that the government notices plastered all over Jiangling City were not because of the theft of the "seal ribbon", but were deliberately "forged" by someone!

at this time.

Just now the food vendor in front of the prison ran over quickly and reported the truth.

"The little one heard it clearly. Those beggars mentioned an 'Old Man' named 'Hong Qigong', and they kept talking about this old man. They even said that the 'two dogs' who were released should not see the old man again!"

"It seems... It seems that the old man gave these beggars a lot of food and clothing... These beggars are working for 'Hong Qigong'!"

What to eat and wear?
Mentioning this, Guan Yu subconsciously thought that since he returned to Jiangling, he hadn't eaten one of his favorite noodles.

The noodle cakes steamed in Fuchu always disappeared for no reason.

The case of the theft in the Guanfu has not yet been investigated.

Of course, this was just Guan Yu's sudden thought, and he would not link these two "cases" together.

Moreover, the two cases seemed completely independent and did not seem to be related in any way.

Rather... what these beggars mentioned...

——"Hong Qigong?"

After Guan Yu chanted the name, his red phoenix eyes were slightly closed until there was only a slit left, as if he had fallen into meditation for a while.

He tried to extract all the memories from his mind.

To recall the name "Hong Qigong".

Unfortunately, everything is blank!
This "Hong Qigong" is like a blank bamboo slip, without leaving any traces.

Finally, Guan Yu opened his eyes, which were filled with disappointment.

He turned his head and asked Ma Liang, "Baimei has lived in Jingzhou for a long time, do you know that there is such a famous person as 'Hong Qigong' in Jingzhou?"

this…

Ma Liang shook his head, he had already carefully recalled it.

He was very sure of the name "Hong Qigong", and this was the first time he had heard it.

"To be honest with Guan Gong, this is the first time someone heard about Hong Qigong." Ma Liang's eyes were still flickering, as if he was still thinking about something.

"But... that's not right! According to the name of the beggar, since this 'Hong Qigong' can be called an 'old man' by them, he must be an old man, but among the famous people in Jingzhou, there is no one who is over half a hundred years old. I, Ma Liang, don’t know him, so it’s strange.”

There is a saying - Ma's five constants, white eyebrows are the best.

Ma Liang has always been famous for his "extensive knowledge and strong memory".

In Jingzhou, the Ma family is second only to the "Cai" and "Kui" families, and is as famous as the "Pang", "Xiang" and "Xi" families. If there is such a person, there is no reason for Ma Liang not to know ah!

That's weird!

This side, because of a "Hong Qigong", including Guan Yu, the entire government office is not at peace.

On the other side, after distributing today's bread and quilts, Guan Lin, who returned to the mansion, saw that the number of soldiers stationed had doubled, thinking that something was wrong with the atmosphere today.

He found Guan Suo and asked curiously, "Fifth brother? What's going on in our house today?"

Guan Suo also frowned tightly, "Fourth brother doesn't know yet, there is a 'Hong Qigong' out of Jiangling City?"

- "Ah, who?"

Guan Lin asked in surprise.

Guan Suo looked righteous and awe-inspiring.

——"Hong Qigong! Hearing this name, he must be a sinister and cunning villain!"
