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

Chapter 457 Painful realization, the transformation of precious boy Liu Chan!

The real, hidden secret?
These words made Lu Xun curious.

"What on earth is such a secret? I'm becoming more and more curious."

Facing Lu Xun's inquiry, Guan Lin asked with interest, "Would you like to take a guess?"

This…

Lu Xun pondered for a moment, thinking a little, but after thinking about a few points, he felt something was wrong. In the end, he could only shake his head and said, "I can't guess."

"If Boyan can't guess it, then Cao Cao and Jia Xu may not be able to guess it either."

Following Guan Lin's words, Lu Xun could feel that it would be even more difficult to pry out the entire strategy and deployment from Guan Lin's mouth today!
Simply, Lu Xun stopped worrying about this and asked another question, "Yun Qi, do you think your father will believe that you were assassinated?"

This... is another cliché, but extremely sensitive topic.

Guan Lin's purpose is to use Guan Yu's "diversion of water and pouring water back" to hide his true purpose and true actions.

Then, Guan Yu's reaction and performance after hearing the news will become crucial. As far as Lu Xun knew, Guan Lin did not deliberately send anyone to inform Guan Yu.

In other words, this "Second General" is still in the dark.

Will his performance... reveal any flaws?
At this moment, Guan Lin opened his mouth: "Bo Yan must want to ask, why didn't I tell my father the truth that I was still alive? In fact, the question is very simple - I know my son better than my father. My father is the one who knows me best. Regarding me, I'm sure he won't believe a word of the news of his death! But he will definitely act like he does, because..."

Before Guan Lin could chant the last and most critical words, Lu Xun had already said, "It's 'trust'! It's the second general's utmost trust in you, Yun Qi!"

That's right...

Lu Xun felt very different since arriving in Jingzhou.

The atmosphere here is completely different from Soochow. There is no conspiracy or intrigue. It seems that all the conflicts are concentrated on the contradiction between the Guan father and son.

But every time, it ended with Guan Lin firmly gaining the upper hand.

Even later, Guan Yu would take the initiative to give "power" to Guan Lin. Although he didn't say it, there was no doubt that... he was convinced by his son!

It is precisely based on this that under the appearance of the tense situation between the Guan family and his son, hidden is the absolute trust and support between them.

Knowing a son is like a father...

But among this pair of father and son, how could the one who knew his father not be the son?They seemed to have always maintained a certain tacit understanding, which made Lu Xun envious.

at this time…

"Son..."

First there was a slight knock on the door, and then a note was handed from Zhuge Ke's hand to Guan Lin.

Guan Lin slowly unfolded the note, which was sent back from the north by the Beggar Gang.

The line of words above appeared impressively.

——"The cheating of death was discovered, and Geely took advantage of it!" 』

This is the text that was refined by comparing it with engravings at the hands of the Beggar Clan. The meaning...can't be clearer.

When Guan Lin saw this sentence, he grinned slightly, handed the note to Lu Xun, and then said calmly: "Look, Cao Cao has indeed planned his plan..."

"So..." Lu Xun muttered after reading the note: "In other words, Cao Cao has set his sights on the Xiangfan battlefield... Then, he will soon spy on the second general's actions of digging canals to divert water."

"That's right!" Different from Lu Xun's serious and cold expression, Guan Lin was always smiling, and his smile was quite bright, "Bo Yan, you shouldn't be so worried. This note can only show that Cao Cao and Jia Xu are still - Trapped!"

When Guan Lin mentioned the last four words "stuck in", Guan Lin deliberately strengthened his tone, as if everything was in the palm of his hand and had a plan in mind!
Lu Xun then asked: "What should we do now?"

In fact, he was still curious, what was Guan Lin's final action?
Even if I don't ask, I still feel a little itchy.

Guan Lin, on the other hand, didn't answer his question at all. He changed the subject and said, "Bo Yan, don't think so much. Taking advantage of this gap, we still have one important thing to do."

"What?" Lu Xun blurted out subconsciously.

But as soon as he said these words, Lu Xun reacted.

Now that they are in Xiakou, it is an important matter again, except for the little guy who is "addicted to the gentle land"?

What else could it be?
Immediately, Lu Xun smiled: "Is this Young Master Liu Chan?"

"That's right!" Guan Lin nodded solemnly, "My uncle is no longer young like Cao Cao. We always have to consider the talents of his successors, right?"

It is true that many parents will adopt a "free-range" attitude towards their children, always harboring the vision of being "carefree" regardless of the future.

In fact, children should not be left alone, otherwise... once they really get into bad habits, their parents and relatives will suffer hundreds or thousands of times more in the future because of them!
——The plan to cultivate the successor of this great man must be put into action!
——It is no exaggeration to say that this is a matter of national importance!

...

...

Adolescent men are always curious about the opposite sex.

At least that was the case in ancient times.

For example, Liu Chan was too curious about the girls in Miaoyinfang.

Although he was not allowed to go out of the backyard during this period, so what?

There is a young lady to accompany him every day, there are piano music for him to listen to, dances for him to watch, an endless supply of delicious food, and a variety of delicious fruit drinks.

There is no need to practice calligraphy, no need to study, and no need to look at the faces of father and Master Zhuge. Where can I find such a good life?

As expected, it only took two days for Liu Chan to forget Li Jingxiao!
Li Jingxiao's name seemed to be completely erased from his memory.

Can…

Liu Chan thought that the magical days would be the same as always, but in the end, it came to an abrupt end on the fourth day.

There is no more beautiful young lady saying gentle words to Liu Chan;
No more music or dance music is played in this backyard;

There is no more delicious food and fruit drinks.

Although he had three meals a day as usual, Liu Chan saw familiar and unfamiliar young ladies walking in front of him every day, but they ignored him. At a young age, he experienced the beauty of this world for the first time. reality!
"Sister Hong'er, why don't you play with me on the swing anymore? Didn't you say you wanted to accompany me for the rest of your life?"

Liu Chan saw a female prostitute with the stage name "Jiang Hong'er" and shouted quickly.

Jiang Hong'er chuckled, then covered her mouth, "You? Let's wait until you grow up and earn gold! You don't earn gold, but my aunt is still relying on this to support you!"

The tone was no longer gentle, but became cold, full of ridicule and ridicule.

Liu Chan couldn't care less about his sadness. He saw another gentle sister and called out quickly, "Sister Yitu... you opened the grapes to feed me yesterday? Why didn't you even look at me today? Didn't you promise me , do you have to feed me grapes every day?"

"Giggle..." The same sister Yitu sneered mockingly.

At the same time, two sisters on the side also giggled.

One of them laughed at him and said, "Young master, it's so funny. If you are a high-ranking official or spend a lot of money, let alone peeling ordinary grapes, I'm afraid Sister Yitu will give you her own grapes to eat!"

"What nonsense are you talking about...he is so young..."

"Keke, I'm not afraid of being young. I'm just afraid of being young and having no money!"

"Let's go, let's go. The Guan Family Shiro was assassinated and this young master lost his way of making money. Who would still look at him? I don't know why Aunt Hong still keeps him here... Could it be that she wants to raise a little boy?" Mr. Turtle?"

"Giggle, giggle... How are you, Mr. Turtle! From now on, someone will bring water for our sisters to wash their feet!"

In the chatter and laughter of these women, Liu Chan seemed like a big joke and a clown. His heart felt like it was falling into the abyss, and he felt "wow, wah, wah" for a moment.

And with the sound of "stomp", after these women disappeared, Liu Chan was the only one left in the entire locked backyard.

At this moment, he felt extremely wronged.

"Liars, these women are liars!"

"What they said...they were all lies, lies!"

"I don't believe them anymore, I don't believe it... I don't believe it!"

If a young boy wants to become a mature man, there is no way around it but a woman!
After understanding and being able to deeply realize the true meaning of the sentence "the more beautiful a woman is, the less likely she is to be believed", the boy can enter the house and complete the initial transformation.

Today Liu Chan is transforming.

He has realized that those beautiful young ladies and those gentle and considerate words are all lies and they are all bluffing him.

——No money, no identity, no status.

——Then everything will leave him.

He...left his father, Master Zhuge, and Guan Lin. He was just a poor guy with nothing!

"Wow wow wow..."

After figuring this out and being hit hard on the head by the heavy reality, Liu Chan cried. He curled up in the corner of the yard and cried in grievance!

While crying, he also said, "Fake, fake..."

"It's all fake, it's all lies!"

For a moment, he hated that he had not seen through the true nature of these women in advance, and he also hated...that Guan Lin was dead and that he would never have the chance to make a new choice.

"Whoa whoa-"

Thinking of this, Liu Chan cried even more painfully, and it hurt his heart... His crying voice became louder and louder, until it couldn't be louder...

Everything is fake, only you are real, real!
"Whoa whoa-"

He seemed to feel a deeper level of pain, and he cried one after another.

And amid the bursts of sound, with a "creak", the courtyard door was pushed open, and a strange man slowly walked in from the door.

Liu Chan raised his eyes and glanced at this man. He didn't know him...but he expected that he was definitely not a "good guy"!
At this time, he already missed his Uncle Zilong a little, and also Guan Lin!The former can take him out, and the latter can allow him to live a life like a fairy.

Can…

But now... "Wow wow -" Liu Chan cried even louder.

"Cough cough..."

Listening to Liu Chan's cry, the visitor cleared his throat and said in the roughest tone possible: "A man crying like a woman! How unbecoming!"

"I want you to take care of it! Wuwu——"

Liu Chan replied, his mouth still very stubborn, but after the words fell, he couldn't help crying when he thought of his bleak situation.

The man then said, "Where are those women? Weren't they gentle to you before? But now, where are they?"

"Also, why is this yard so messy? Isn't there anyone cleaning it? Don't you know how to clean it? You just cry? And..."

The man noticed the cold leftovers on the table and shook his head, "What the hell is this?"

Liu Chan couldn't bear it anymore. He wanted to wave his soft hands, and then hit Guan Lin with an insignificant fist, "I want you to take care of it? I want you to take care of it! Wuwuwu..."

However, in the end, the cowardly Liu Chan still couldn't wave his hand. This time, he cried louder.

Every word spoken by the man in front of him was like a poisonous thorn, piercing deeply into his body, causing pain in every inch of his skin, fine pain, and constant pain.

Seeing Liu Chan's appearance, the man seemed very satisfied, smiled, and then tore off the human skin mask from his face.

——It’s Guan Lin!

When Liu Chan saw Guan Lin, he was first surprised, then ecstatic, as if he were seeing a relative, and then frightened. He quickly said: "You... aren't you dead? Why are you back? Are you a ghost? You Why are you looking for me?"

Liu Chan was a little panicked.

Guan Lin covered his mouth and made a "shh" gesture.

"I'm not dead, I'm fine."

"Then..." Liu Chan still wanted to speak, but the reality of Guan Lin's palm covering his mouth made him realize that this was real and alive!
Guan Lin said softly. "Don't say anything. Someone will put on you the same mask as me later, and then, I will take you somewhere?"

"Is this still a place where these female... female liars gather? I... I hate them, I don't want to see them again! I won't go, I won't go..."

Liu Chan's words were extremely firm.

Sure enough, to make a man completely discouraged, he only needs to see the face of a "beautiful and hypocritical" woman clearly once!

Fortunately, Liu Chan accomplished this glorious achievement at the age of 12!

Needless to say, Guan Lin was quite lucky.

In fact, he was not only glad that Liu Chan's "painful realization" came early enough.

Even more fortunately, he who originally spoke of Li Jingxiao never mentioned a single word of the name "Li Jingxiao". It seems that the prince's development plan is effective!

Of course, fortunately, as Liu Chan's master, Guan Lin still has to show his strict teacher side.

"Don't talk nonsense. When it's time for you to know, you will know everything——"

...

...

A hot air balloon flew over the sky and appeared in Cao Ren's eyes at the top of Fancheng.

A group of shield soldiers stood in front of Cao Ren. Cao Ren did not dare to stand too far away, for fear that...another arrow would burst out from the flying ball and leave his life here.

This is fear, but it is also a great hatred!
He looked at the flying ball and felt his teeth itch with hatred, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Zhao Yan hurried over from the side and quickly reported the latest instructions from Xu Du, "General, the king has sent a message, saying that Mr. Yan Zhen from Soochow has been sent here! Secretly help the general."

"Yan Zhen?" Cao Ren rolled his eyes and thought about it carefully, and found that there seemed to be no such person in his memory.

Never heard of it!

He immediately said with some dissatisfaction: "Can this Yan Zhen bring flying balls to our army?"

Zhao Yan quickly said: "The King of Wei has sent military advisor Cheng Yu to search for strangers in various places regarding the flying ball and ask for a solution. Can Yan Zhen solve the general's urgent need?"

Hearing this, Cao Ren's eyes suddenly narrowed, and his gaze shifted from the flying ball in the sky to Xiangyang City on the other side of the Han River. His tone began to become solemn, "My top priority is to capture Xiangyang—— "

"This Yan Zhen can help the general take back Xiangyang!"

Following Zhao Yan's words, Cao Ren's eyes changed from calm to shocked.

He asked in disbelief: "Seriously?"

"General, does he know who wrote the article "On Tide" which is extremely famous in the south?"

"Is this Yan Zhen?"

"Exactly!"

Following Zhao Yan's confirmation, Cao Ren didn't understand again, "But what does attacking Xiangyang City have to do with this "Tide Theory"?"

It wasn't until this sentence that Zhao Yan's tone became serious and urgent, "Water -

"Water—"

...

...

This is Xu Shu's third time flying ball in five days. He was a little afraid of heights at first, but now he is fully adapted to it.

After all, he was a ranger when he was young, so his courage is nothing to speak of.

As for coming back this time, it was an urgent call from Guan Yu.

Going deeper, it is now widely rumored that Guan Lin was assassinated and killed——

Follow Xu Shu into Guan Yu's tent.

Under the candlelight, Guan Yu, who was reading "Sun Tzu's Art of War" to calm down his throbbing mood, the moment he saw Xu Shu, he quickly put down the book in his hand and asked straight to the point.

"Have you heard about Yuan Zhi too?"

"Yun Chang is asking about Yun Qi's assassination?"

As Xu Shu blurted out his words, Guan Yu solemnly asked: "Do you believe it?"

"Do not believe!"

Xu Shu answered without thinking. He didn't even think much about this answer. From the moment he heard the news, he was sure it was false.

"Yun Chang, I have not been in contact with Yun Qi for a long time, but his wisdom, agility, strategy, and even his control over people's hearts have impressed me. This is what I think, even if he is really assassinated , with the protection around him, the possibility of killing him with one strike is not high, and he... whenever he has a breath, he will deliberately create the illusion that he is still alive in order to stabilize the situation! Confusing the fake with the real, Yun Qi …Or maybe Mianshui Villa is enough to do it!”

Speaking of this, Xu Shu paused slightly, "But the current situation is exactly the opposite. This matter is very strange. Cao Cao did not cover it up, Sun Quan did not cover it up, and even Jiang Xia arranged the coffin for Yun Qi with great fanfare and accepted the memorial... It’s so obvious, it’s so unreasonable!”

As Xu Shu blurted out his words, Guan Yu nodded heavily, "On this point, Yuan Zhi and I want to go together. Of course, there is another point... My biggest prejudice against Yun Qi in the past was the phrase he mentioned, 'Learn martial arts to save people. Yuan Zhi also knew that after the development, Yun Qi designed artifacts that could surpass "force". His wisdom was completely superior to force. How could Guan be in danger if he was such a unicorn? Let the enemy find an opportunity to take advantage of him? His death? Haha... Unless it is a fake death! No thief, my son will never die!"

Guan Yu's tone was firmer than Xu Shu's.

This is also the consensus of the two.

"It's just..." Guan Yu continued, "Guan has never figured out why Yun Qi faked his death? This plan... is obviously full of loopholes!"

Xu Shu had also been thinking about this question. When asked by Guan Yu, he could only give an immature answer first, "Perhaps it is to attract the attention of Wei and Wu and cover the actions of the second general?"

Guan Yu immediately shook his head, "If so, wouldn't it be counterproductive? Instead, it would make Cao Cao and Sun Quan pay more attention to this side, as if there is a trick!"

"I haven't thought about the other things clearly." Xu Shu showed a hint of embarrassment, but just for a moment, his tone became firm again, "In any case, since it is Yun Qi's deployment, Yun Chang will definitely cooperate with him. !”

"Of course!" Guan Yu said, "If you and I can't figure out Yun Qi's purpose, then Cao Cao and Sun Quan certainly can't figure it out either. Therefore, Guan intends to rush to Jiangxia to question Na Lu Zi Jingxing and demand justice. !”

"It's not enough!" Xu Shu quickly added, "While the second general is raising an army to investigate, we must also ask Guan Ping to lead [-] warships across the Xiangjiang River, intending to attack eastward, and force Sun Quan to give an explanation! "

Well…

Guan Yu thought about it carefully and felt that Xu Shu was more thoughtful and thoughtful, so he nodded, "Guan will make arrangements now!"

When Guan Yu was about to recruit Zhou Cang, he never thought that Zhou Cang would rush in first.

"General..." He knelt down on one knee, and then reported: "Sun Quan made his eldest son Sun Deng the crown prince, and ordered his eldest son Sun Deng to go to Jingzhou as an envoy to explain the misunderstanding to the second general——"

This…

Neither Guan Yu nor Xu Shu expected that Sun Quan would take the lead!
Guan Yu turned his attention to Xu Shu.

Xu Shu opened his mouth while thinking, "I'm afraid Sun Quan has two purposes for doing this. One... is to send the prince to Jingzhou as an envoy, so as to show the world that Soochow is magnanimous and does not hesitate to risk the prince's safety. In exchange for the stability of the Sun-Liu alliance, we never had the slightest intention of harming Yun Qi! This is a preemptive strike in terms of 'morality'!"

At this point, Xu Shu pondered slightly, and continued his analysis with his right hand on his chin, "Secondly, I am afraid that Sun Quan intends to exchange the crown prince for Lü Meng. On the surface, the crown prince's status is much more valuable than Lü Meng, but in fact, Lu Su no longer , Lu Meng is the deputy governor, the commander of the Soochow navy, far more than a prince, but if the second general refuses, it will seem unkind!"

"Tao, heaven, earth, generals, laws...this time, Sun Quan has figured these out!"

Following Xu Shu's words, Guan Yu's phoenix eyes couldn't help but condense.

My heart screams.

——‘The one who comes here is not good! 』
