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

Chapter 56

gambling?

Mi family?

The two words mentioned by the beggar immediately attracted Guan Lin's attention.

Smelling the tangy aroma of rice, Guan Lin pointed to the kitchen and said to the beggar leader with a smile.

"I haven't eaten yet. Just in time, the rice is cooked. It's a pity that my father is in Jiangling, and the control is strict, so he can't eat beef, otherwise the juice of the beef will overflow his tongue."

Seeming to have noticed Ma Bing, Guan Lin also waved to him, "Ma Bing, come together!"

...

The barbecue was burning on the stove, and the wine bottle was steaming. Guan Lin took out the hot wine from the wine bottle, poured it for Ma Bing and the beggar, cut two pieces of barbecue meat, and sent them to the on their plate.

Ma Bing looked sincere and apprehensive, "A gentleman is far away from the kitchen, how could Cao Yi do this kind of thing himself?"

Guan Lin replied with a smile: "Isn't there a saying in "Six Secret Teachings" that 'If you use a knife, you must cut, and if you hold an ax, you must cut'. Opportunity dictates that when something needs to be done, it must be done."

Guan Lin's conversation seemed to have something in it, but the beggar was confused.

"Haha!" Guan Lin smiled and turned his gaze to him, "What did you mention just now? The Mi family? Gambling?"

"Report to the official! Yes!" The beggar swallowed the hot barbecue in a hurry, and he didn't have time to taste the taste. He knew everything, "The battle in Hefei was very lively. Some said that Soochow won, and some said that Cao Jun won Win, no, the gambling house also opened a gamble, if you buy Soochow to win, you can exchange ten dou of rice for eleven dou of rice, and bet on Cao Jun to win, you can exchange for eleven dou of rice for one dou of rice.”

Oh…

Guan Lin was stunned by these words.

This odds gave him a sense of... the World Cup in the future.

He especially remembered that in his previous life, at a certain World Cup, he had bet heavily on a certain court to win, but he was overthrown by a certain team... so much that even his girlfriend ran away.

On the contrary, it was from the dormitory next door. By chance, I bought the wrong one and bet heavily on a special win. In the end, my girlfriend didn't mind him having another girlfriend!

In retrospect, it's a sad story.

But now, the odds are still the same, but the difference is that the standard answer is right in front of you.

One pays eleven, this can't be a big profit?
"How much money is left in the treasury?"

Guan Lin looked at Ma Bing, his eyes became serious.

this…

Ma Bing felt that Guan Lin's eyes were piercing, as if he wanted to eat him, ah no... to be precise, he seemed to want the treasury to eat him.

He stumbled and said, "In terms of food, there are still several hundred hu."

"Bring them all out," Guan Lin ordered.

Following his words, Ma Bing said, "Does Cao Cao want to bet all-in on Soochow to win?"

Uh…

This sentence directly made Guan Lin's eyes widen, "Do you have any misunderstanding about this officer? How could you bet on Soochow?"

Guan Lin waved his hand, "All bet on Cao Jun to win! I will bet on Cao Jun in the name of this Cao official, lest he, Mi's casino, refuse to admit it!"

Now, Ma Bing was dumbfounded.

He has only heard of Guan Lin's "bad name", and knows that he is not even afraid of Guan Gong, and he is a "unscrupulous" master.

But I have never heard of the "Hefei Battle Results" mentioned in Guan Lin's answer sheet.

In fact, Guan Lin's answer sheet has become an absolute secret in Jiangling City.

only…

"Cao Chuan..." Ma Bing gritted his teeth and asked with difficulty: "Do Cao Cao and General Mi Fang know each other?"

"I don't know!" Hearing this name, Guan Lin waved his hands in disgust.

"Then why did Cao Yi rush to donate all the treasury's money to his Mi family?" Ma Bing looked like he was about to cry.

this…

Guan Lin paused and tapped his forehead with his right hand.

It wasn't about the money, but Ma Bing's reminder made him realize the Mi family again.

Speaking of which, the Mi family was originally a wealthy businessman in Xuzhou. First, the patriarch Mi Zhu was confiscated by Tao Qian to work in Biejia. Later, Tao Qian let Xuzhou three times to welcome Liu Bei according to his will, and became his guest.

Of course, I won’t go into detail here about the entanglements among the three factions of the celebrity faction, the common people faction, and the Danyang faction in Xuzhou during the Three Rang Xuzhou period.

To put it simply, the Mi family invested in Liu Bei, and gave Liu Bei great help when he was at his worst.

In the first year of Jian'an, Lu Bu attacked Xiapi, captured Liu Bei's wife, and severely defeated Liu Bei's army. At that time, Liu Bei was almost in a desperate situation.

——No soldiers, no food, not even a wife!

It's the Mi family again.

Liu Bei's wife was captured, so the Mi family married their younger sister to Liu Bei;

Liu Bei didn't have an army, so the Mi family donated [-] tribal members and gold and silver goods from the family to Liu Bei as an army, which made Liu Bei regain his strength.

Today, the Mi family is a family of brothers. The eldest brother Mi Zhu followed Liu Bei into Yizhou and worshiped as General Anhan, especially above Zhuge Liang. Mi Fang served as the prefect of Nanjun and stationed troops in Jiangling.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Mi family is Liu Bei's most trusted family, not one of them!

However, only Guan Lin knew.

Exactly, it was such a "most trusted" family that made the "most shameless" backstab in history in Jiangling four years later.

This move made Liu Bei lose Jingzhou;

Guan Yu was defeated and fled Maicheng;

It was also the source of the fire in Yiling;
Even more so, the great cause of Xinghan has only existed in ideals and hopes since then!
Thinking of this, Guan Lin's sloppy smile was completely restrained just now, and his expression became sharp and solemn. He added another piece of barbecue to the two of them, and then asked solemnly.

——"Come on, tell me about this Mi family you know!"

Ma Bing scratched his head and reminded, "The next official has the courage to remind Cao Jun that Guan Gong is going to go to Chibi by water and land to go to Lu Su's banquet. The young masters and young ladies are all going to the port to see them off. Why don't Cao Cao send them off?"

this…

Guan Lin rolled his eyes, wasn't he going to the meeting alone?
What do you get for this?

Whatever you do, don't you just come back?
Thinking of this, Guan Lin was serious: "Why are you sending him off? It just so happens that my father is gone, so we can eat beef, by the way... What did you mention just now? Tell me about the Mi family that you all know!"

...

...

Guan Yu was dressed in casual clothes, Ma Liang was dressed in Confucian robes, and they rode side by side.

In front is the port, where the awning boat has been prepared, and the boatman and Zhou Cang have been guarding the boat.

"From a certain point of view, since Zhou Gongjin, Jiang Dong's generation is not so open and upright. Even if the other party is Lu Zijing, Guan Gong needs to be very careful."

This has been Ma Liang's advice countless times.

This time when he went to Chibi Lukou Jiangxin for a while, Guan Yu only brought Zhou Cang and a knife. In Ma Liang's view, even though Guan Yu was unparalleled in martial arts, the place was full of dangers.

What's more, taking ten thousand steps back, even if Jiangdong didn't have ghost tricks, the changes in the Hefei battlefield situation would force Guan Yu to take completely different actions.

Even the most violent.

One person, one knife, forcing Lu Su to sign the contract and give up Jingzhou!
This is the most dangerous.

"Jiangdong is a group of idiots, why is Guan so afraid?" As always, Guan Yu maintained his pride.

"Nevertheless..." Ma Liang was still worried when he was about to leave the city.

Guan Yu waved his hand to signal him not to speak, and at the port in front of him, apart from Zhou Cang standing on the boat holding the Qinglong Yanyue Saber, Guan Ping, Guan Xing, Guan Yinping, and Guan Suo had already been waiting here to bid farewell to their father.

"Father."

Three sons and one daughter hand in hand together.

Guan Yu's face was calm, but his heart was somewhat moved. These children were worried about him!

Just thinking of this, Guan Yu's brows suddenly frowned.

He found that, unexpectedly and unexpectedly, there was one less child among his children, and that was Guan Lin.

He asked lightly, "Did Yunqi come?"

Guan Suo cupped his hands, "Fourth brother is Cao Cao, presumably because of his official duties."

"What business is he doing! I just saw him drinking and eating meat!" Guan Xing waved his hand, looking angry and unpredictable.

He turned to Guan Yu and said, "My boy just went to call the fourth brother, and the fourth brother said, 'Father went to the meeting alone, it's a trivial matter, what can I give you?'"
