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

Chapter 455: Shiro Seki, through the ages——

Sun Luban's increasingly chaotic breathing and gradually heavier steps declared her excitement at the moment.

She did not go to Anlu City, but appeared in Xiakou, so that she and her sister Sun Luyu could better hide their whereabouts.

At this moment, three unimpeachable soldiers stood in front of her, kneeling on one knee. They were all wounded. The "vaguely visible" bloody footprints left during the salute made Sun Luban feel that this assassination operation The danger!
Indeed, she thought of the possibility of assassinating Guan Lin!
The worst possibility is that the whole army of Wunan soldiers will be annihilated. Sun Luban never takes this seriously.

To die is to die.

Isn't the destiny of Wunan soldiers "death"?

Sun Luban is a person who "as long as the results" and "regardless of the process", but even she did not expect that this assassination would be "successful".

Sun Luban, who learned the whole process from Wu Nan Bing, became increasingly excited at the sacrifice of "You Wu Nan Du" Chen Zheng in exchange for the successful assassination of Guan Lin.

——"This Chen Zheng is so desperate!" 』

"Cuckoo..."

At this moment, Sun Luban was "chuckling" and murmuring in a low voice, "What bullshit Guan Jiashiro, it's nothing more than that!"

The opposite of Sun Luban's character is her sister Sun Luyu.

This time, Sun Luban secretly mobilized his troops to go north to Jiangxia. Sun Luyu could not persuade his sister, so he could only come with her.

These days, Sun Luyu has tried to persuade his sister not a hundred times, but eighty times.

However, it seems... with Sun Luban's temperament, how could he listen to his sister?

"Are the more than 20 unimpeachable soldiers... just dead like this?" Sun Luyu pursed his lips, and his tone suddenly became excited, "Sister, you got into trouble. My sister brought them out, but... but... now, most of them can't come back. went!"

Following Sun Luyu's words, Sun Luban's eyes narrowed and he glared at her coldly.

She first ordered the three remaining unimpeachable soldiers to retreat and tell her father, Sun Quan, about the incident.

Then he said solemnly: "What are you causing trouble for? By exchanging the death of more than [-] unimpeachable soldiers for Guan Lin's life, I have clearly made a meritorious service and made a great contribution!"

Speaking of this, Sun Luban's back molars were itching with hatred, and she gritted her teeth: "Since Guan Lin was born, how much loss has Soochow suffered, and how much loss has Dad suffered? From Dad to Manchu Chao Wenwu, I don’t know how much I want him to die..."

Sun Luban has not yet mentioned her refusal to marry Guan Lin.

Although both parties did not talk about this matter openly, there were rumors circulating, which was enough to make her, Sun Luban, lose face!
"But... the Sun-Liu Alliance!" Sun Luyu gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "Once he dies, the alliance will cease to exist. Sister, you are in big trouble. Let's go back to Soochow quickly and let dad..."

Sun Luyu still wanted to persuade Sun Luban to go back.

However, the more she persuaded him like this, the more she aroused the rebellion in Sun Luban's heart.

"Go back? Guan Lin is dead. It's Jiangxia now, no... it's the time when the whole Jingzhou is in chaos, not to mention that my aunt hasn't been found yet, and Liu Bei's son has not been found either. At this time, what is needed most is information. I am here How can we go back in the whirlpool?"

At this point, Sun Luban's tone turned cold, "If you want to go back, then go back. Don't say this in my ears... Look at you, you retreated as soon as you went out, buzzing, buzzing, there was nothing in your ears." You can have some peace and quiet for a day.”

Faced with Sun Luban's unkind words, Sun Luyu was still trying to persuade him, "Sister, stop being stubborn... Let's go back? Okay, okay?"

"No! Yes! Yes!" Sun Luban said one word at a time. As she blurted out these three words, she blinked her eyes and said lightly, "It's not easy to come out, but you can't break the sky in Jingzhou." Is it a big hole?"

Speaking of this, Sun Luban seemed to suddenly think of something, "I heard that Shilihua Street in Xiakou is very prosperous. I am in a good mood today. I want to go and see it in disguise as a man. Do you want to go? People say... this woman from Jiangxia Where is Jiangdong Kerun?"

Sun Luban always thinks out loud!
A moment ago, I was still happy about Guan Lin's death.

At the next moment, he became interested in Jiangxia's "flower girl". Of course... Sun Luban had her own ideas.

In many cases, these "flower buildings" and "red halls" are the cradle of intelligence gathering!

Say one thousand, say ten thousand, no matter what... Sun Luban is enough to be ecstatic today!
——"Gee, that Guan Lin is nothing more than that!" 』

——‘That’s all! 』

...

...

In Jiangxia and Anlu City, a sonorous bell rang. The bell-ringer wiped the tears on his face with his sleeves while banging the bell.

Then, the bells throughout the city rang.

"Boom, boom—"

"Boom-thump-"

The mighty sound of the bell attracted the attention of all the bells in the city, as if it were shaking the sky and breaking through the sky!

When the farmers who were cultivating the fields heard the continuous ringing of the bells, they turned around one by one, faced the direction of Anlu City, knelt down and bowed their heads!
The entire city was crying uncontrollably.

What followed was countless tears that frosted and icy their cheeks!
Large flakes of snowflakes began to fall...

Liao Hua, Shi Wu, Ling Tong, Mi Lu, Huang Zhong, Xia Houjuan, and Huang Yueying all clasped their hands and looked extremely sad.

Zhang Xingcai's eyes were dull and she bit her lip with her teeth. The tears falling from her eyes quickly condensed into ice crystals and hung on her haggard face.

Her hand firmly grasped the hand of her mother Xia Houjuan, and Xia Houjuan could feel that her daughter's hand was constantly trembling!
Trembling badly...

Zhang Xingcai could no longer contain her emotions. She threw herself in front of Guan Lin's coffin and tried her best to push the glass coffin away, but... the heavy glass sarcophagus seemed to have the power of a thousand pounds. No matter how strong she was, she couldn't shake it at all!

Finally, Zhang Xingcai burst into tears. She knelt in front of the sarcophagus. She could clearly see Guan Lin's dimple, but God... seemed to have played a joke on him, using this glass to cut off the distance between her and Guan Lin. , even wanting to touch him in the end became a luxury!

"Yun Qi...you, you are a liar!"

"You said that after I return to Shu and do what you asked me to do, you would propose marriage to my father, but now, wuwu...you are just a liar, a liar——"

There was endless anger in Zhang Xingcai's words, but this situation was more like hysteria.

Xia Houjuan looked at his daughter distressedly, "There is no resurrection after death... Xingcai... Xingcai..."

Xia Houjuan knew that what she said was inappropriate, but as a mother, she always had something to say.

Huang Zhong was also in a bad mood. He deliberately turned his head to one side without saying a word. He looked at Guan Lin's coffin and inexplicably thought of the "twenty steps" that separated him from his son.

This kid Guan Lin helped him complete the "twenty steps" and made up for the regrets of those twenty steps, but... this kid didn't finish his own road!
——"Second General, the pain of a white-haired man sending a black-haired man away... you haven't been able to escape it!" 』

The more he thought about it, the darker Huang Zhong's mood became. He didn't want to speak. Although he looked strong on the outside, he seemed to be falling into endless sorrow in his heart.

Huang Yueying looked at the whole place, she pursed her lips and said: "If one day, we can complete the cause of rejuvenating the Han Dynasty, Yun Qi will definitely leave this mark in the history books, a colorful mark!"

There was also tears in her voice.

At this time.

Someone outside the door shouted: "Lu Su, the Governor of Soochow, and Lu Meng, the Deputy Governor of Soochow, have come to express their condolences——"

Following this sound, "tap tap" footsteps sounded from outside the door.

Lu Su and Lu Meng walked in quickly.

Lu Su looked at the person in the "glass coffin" in disbelief. The chest was scratched by a handhalberd, and no matter how much he 'decorated' it, he could not cover up the bright red color of the wound.

Enough to kill Yin Hong with one strike!

And the person in the coffin gradually appeared in Lu Su's eyes, no matter from the face or figure, except Guan Lin?Who else could it be?
"How could this be?"

Lu Su asked in surprise.

But this sound seemed to suddenly activate a certain state of Zhang Xingcai. One moment, she was kneeling on the ground holding the coffin and crying bitterly. The next moment, she suddenly pulled out the "silver hairpin" from her hair and walked to her side without warning. Stab away Lu Su!

It all happened so fast!

Also in front of the coffin, Lu Su and Zhang Xingcai were too close. Lu Meng would never have thought that someone would be unfavorable to the governor Lu Su during the condolence occasion!

The sharp "silver hairpin" pierced Lu Su's chest fiercely. Fortunately, it was just a silver hairpin and it was not inserted deep enough. In Zhang Xingcai's haste, he was a little away from the vital point.

But even so, Lu Su, who had just recovered from a serious illness, still made a "pop" sound and spurted out a mouthful of blood!

All the blood sprayed outside the glass coffin.

Under the scarlet blood, "Guan Lin" was lying inside the coffin as peacefully as ever, but Lu Meng exploded. He quickly helped Lu Su up and protected Lu Su behind him, "What are you going to do? Blatantly assassinate me, Soochow. The Grand Governor?"

While he was talking, Lu Meng had already grabbed a candlestick and raised it horizontally like a spear. He had already made the final plan, which was to take Lu Su out to kill——

Lu Su, on the other hand, looked at the tense situation between the two sides. He covered his wound and said, "Ahem..." He coughed lightly and said, "I heard that Yun Qi was unfortunately assassinated early in the morning. Are General Lu and I here to express our condolences to Yun Qi? But why does the girl treat me like this? Is there any misunderstanding in this? "

"Misunderstanding?" Zhang Xingcai pointed at Lu Su with a silver hairpin, "I was in Yunqi's mansion when the assassin attacked. I saw with my own eyes that the assassin launched the attack from the south wall, and when he retreated, he also jumped into the lake outside the south wall. Here, hum..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Xingcai snorted coldly. In her opinion, she was the only one who was closest to the truth!

She said meticulously: "Can someone be so watery? Besides the Jiangdong Navy, who else is there? This assassination was clearly planned by you Soochow. You...you don't regret dying, but you returned my Yunqi, you returned my Yunqi, flag--"

As he spoke, Zhang Xingcai held the "silver hairpin" and was about to attack Lu Su again.

But once... This time Lu Meng was on guard and stopped in front of Lu Su.

Secondly...Huang Yueying and Xia Houjuan will definitely not let Zhang Xingcai "misbehave"!
Even if what she said was true, just because of the water's nature, it could not be concluded that the assassin was from Jiangdong.

"Sun and Liu allied to fight against Cao Cao..." Lu Su endured the pain in his chest and said: "Yun Qi helped Soochow many times. Even the city of Hefei was captured by Yun Qi because of Yun Qi's plan. Although I, Lu Su, and Yun Qi are more than [-] years apart, he and I have been friends for many years... It goes without saying that we cherish each other, not to mention... his safety is related to the friendship of the alliance, so... how could I commit assassination? To him!"

Zhang Xingcai retorted directly, "If you don't assassinate...can you ensure that no one from Soochow can assassinate Yun Qi?"

This…

Speaking of which, Lu Su also had an "excellent tongue" and was proficient in sophistry and rhetoric...

But this time Zhang Xingcai's words seemed to hit him seven inches in the face, leaving him unable to refute.

But, from the bottom of his heart, Lu Su didn't want to believe that the assassination of Guan Lin was Jiangdong's action!

But he couldn't guarantee...this matter had nothing to do with Jiang Dong.

Whether it is Wu Hou or Jiangdong Wenwu, many of them hate this Guan family Shiro to the core——

"Stop talking? Have nothing to say? Really?" Zhang Xingcai was as aggressive as ever... "It's you, you are the murderers who killed Yun Qi... I... I will kill..."

Zhang Xingcai was about to rush over again, but was hugged by Xia Houjuan.

Huang Yueying looked at the situation here, and she suddenly realized that the "Sun Liu Alliance" that her husband had managed to maintain was now in danger and was in danger of overturning at any time.

Huang Yueying said quickly: "Xingcai, the assassination of Yun Qi is still under investigation——"

"Investigation?" Zhang Xingcai pursed her lips, "So what if the investigation is clear? Can you return the Yunqi to me? Return it to me?" This...

Zhang Xingcai's words moved everyone here.

"Girl..." Lu Su sighed helplessly, "Soochow will give Jingzhou an explanation for this matter... Who is related to Yun Qi's death? Soochow will also investigate and spare no effort to investigate, because we are allies. !”

After saying this, Lu Su stood up with all his strength, and cupped his hands towards Huang Zhong, Huang Yueying, Xia Houjuan and others, "Lu Su said goodbye——"

As he spoke, Lu Su, escorted by Lu Meng, walked quickly out the door.

Zhang Xingcai didn't want to let her go and took a step after her, but Huang Yueying grabbed her arm.

Huang Yueying looked at the slowly leaving figures of Lu Meng and Lu Su, and at the blood stains on the ground, "Xingcai...if...if the alliance breaks down, then all Yunqi's hard work will be in vain -"

"what--"

Zhang Xingcai couldn't help but roar, looking up to the sky and roaring.

This deafening voice vented her inner anger! .

"Don't cry, don't cry..." Huang Yueying patted Zhang Xingcai's back and comforted... "One day, this revenge... will be avenged, it will be avenged -"

Following Huang Yueying's words.

"Boom-"

"Boom-"

The ringing of the bells continued, and under the leadership of Liao Hua, everyone cheered in unison.

"The fourth son of the Guan family, through the ages——"

...

...

In Xudu City, Cao Cao was holding a bamboo slip in his hand and carefully reading the words on it.

Huang Haocheng buried his head very low in fear. This was the first time he saw Cao Cao, the overlord of the north and the ruler of the Central Plains. Even though he was old, the power he exuded was still enough to make Huang Hao tremble. .

"Is this Zhu Ling and his son? Written by themselves?"

Finally, after scanning every word on the bamboo slip, Cao Cao raised his eyes and stared at Huang Hao.

"Yes Yes…"

Even if he replied, Huang Hao was as sincere and frightened as ever, "I was about to be killed by that Guan Yu. Fortunately, General Zhu Ling and his son rescued me, and then... I was able to bring the bamboo slips to see the king!"

Well…

Cao Cao paused for a moment, then as if testing, "What nonsense, such a clumsy trick to pretend to surrender? How could I be fooled... Someone, take this Huang Hao down and kill him——"

"Well—"

Following Cao Cao's order, Xu Chu picked up Huang Hao like an eagle catching a chicken.

Huang Hao panicked now. Did he just leave the wolf's den and enter the tiger's den again?
We...why, why are we so miserable?

"Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty, please spare your life... The younger one, the younger one just followed the instructions of General Zhu Ling and his son to bring this letter to the King... The younger one... The younger one doesn't know anything, doesn't know anything!"

Following these words, Cao Cao winked at Xu Chu. Xu Chu put Huang Hao back on the ground and said, "Whatever the king asks you, say whatever you want. If you tell a lie, you can try me, Xu Chu." Can my wrists crush your little body into pieces?"

what…

Huang Hao's heart was like ten thousand "grass and mud horses" galloping past... He was also drunk, and he found... In this world, no one is easy to mess with except him.

Cao Cao began to ask, "If Zhu Ling and his son truly surrendered? Then why didn't they come? But they sent you alone to deliver a letter of surrender?"

Huang Hao had no other merits, so he was very excited. His eyes were sure, and he quickly replied: "General Zhu said... he was plotted by Guan Lin, which made the king mistakenly think that he had defected to Jingzhou, so the ancestral hall was burned and he became infamous. ...If, if he can't reverse this infamy? How can he come back? Even if he comes back, won't he be jealous of the civil and military officials of the Wei and Manchu dynasties?"

Don't say...everything Huang Hao said makes sense.

It even made Cao Cao's eyes fixed on the bamboo slip again, "Is this? Is this the way Zhu Ling and his son reversed their infamy? He said that Guan Yu was digging waterways to divert the Han River into the reservoir? In order to divert the Han River to pour into Fancheng? This Is it serious?"

"Young...I don't know!" Huang Hao said quickly: "I'm just a disabled person, a bad messenger, how can I know this..."

Following Huang Hao's words, Cao Cao once again scanned the letter written by Zhu Ling.

In fact, from the bottom of his heart, Cao Cao was skeptical.

Fake, he just felt that the letter of surrender from Zhu Ling and his son was very fake, and the performance was extremely clumsy.

However, this letter mentions that Guan Yu intends to divert water to Fancheng. This piece of information is very important, and it is not difficult to check——

If it's true, then...

Cao Cao's eyes narrowed and he was already thinking carefully.

at this time.

Outside the door, a tiger army entered and whispered a few words in Xu Chu's ear.

Xu Chu quickly walked into Cao Cao and reported to Cao Cao what Hu Ben's army had reported.

As these words reached Cao Cao's ears, his eyes widened, "Pass--"

It seemed that he noticed that Huang Hao was still there, "Hahahaha..." Cao Cao laughed, and then looked at Huang Hao, "It's true that you are a disabled person, but in your early years, you were also restricted by the status of a giant official family. You are from Bashu , work hard, I won’t treat you badly——”

"Yes Yes…"

"Back off——"

Following Cao Cao's words, Xu Chu took Huang Hao out...

Immediately afterwards, Li Dian walked in together with a handsome young man in his thirties.

Seeing Cao Cao, Li Dian knelt down with a snap, "I never thought that Dian would be able to see the king again in this life..."

"General Li has suffered." Cao Cao personally helped Li Dian up.

Then he looked at the thirty-year-old man.

Li Dian introduced: "Your Majesty, this is Yan Zhen, the envoy of Soochow——"

As soon as Li Dian's voice fell, Yan Jin solemnly raised his hand and said, "Greetings to the King of Wei!"

Cao Cao seemed to suddenly think of something, and grabbed Yan Zhen's hand, "Could it be Mr. Yan who wrote the "Tide on Tide"..."

"No, it's right here!"

"Hahaha... I have heard for a long time that Mr. Yan is extremely proficient in water flow and water attacks. I never thought that I would be able to ask Mr. Yan for advice here today!"

Cao Cao showed his courtesy and corporal side.

This made Yan Zhen feel flattered for a while, and he shouted: "I don't dare, I don't dare -"

After the greetings, Yan Zhen did not hide anything. He came with Sun Quan's hope and a clear purpose. He simply expressed his feelings, "Your Majesty... I came all the way to inform the King of Wei. Something!"

"What's the matter?"

"Now Guan Yu is digging dams. The purpose is to divert the Han River to flow back into Fancheng, Pinglu City, and Yancheng during the high water season in July and August——"

Well…

Cao Cao was shocked by Yan Zhen's words. How could he have thought that Huang Hao and Yan Zhen... sent two such similar pieces of information from the front and back!

Of course, if it was the information from Huang Hao, Zhu Ling and his son, Cao Cao would be somewhat suspicious.

It needs to be corroborated.

But... Yan Zhen, this is the person who compiled "Tide Theory", and considering the "ambiguous" relationship between Wei and Wu today!
His words are very convincing!
"Is it diverting water and pouring it back again?"

Cao Cao sighed softly subconsciously.

Yan Zhen was curious, "Did your Majesty hear from other places that Guan Yu diverted water to pour water back?"

"No!" Cao Cao waved his hand boldly. At this moment, he was no longer limited by the source of this information.

He showed his resolute side, "Mr. Yan, can you find a way to make the Han River flow into Xiangyang instead of Fancheng?"

This…

Undoubtedly, what Cao Cao put forward was an extremely difficult proposal!

Considering that Fancheng and Xiangyang are separated by water, and the Han River water only pours into the south bank, this requires extremely careful design when "diverting water"!

If you consider that Guan Yu dug a reservoir on the south bank, there is no doubt that... this will be even more difficult.

Yan Zhen was not a conceited person. He mused softly, "If we want to change the direction of the water flow, we need to conduct on-site inspections——"

Inexplicably, Yan Zhen's words made Cao Cao happy.

"Hahaha." He laughed, "God sent a gentleman to help me take back Xiangyang——"

Just when Cao Cao chanted this sentence.

"Report-"

Xu Chu hurriedly ran from the door. He was always steady and firm, but this time he staggered a little and looked very panicked.

This was the first time Xu Chu appeared in front of Cao Cao like this.

"What's wrong? Zhongkang?"

Cao Cao asked proactively.

Xu Chuze said truthfully: "I just got the news that Shiro Guanjia... that Shiro Guanjia is dead. He was assassinated by an assassin!"

...
