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

Amid the sounds of firecrackers and suona, Guan Lin, the groom, was in high spirits.

He held one end of the red tie and looked at the other end of the red tie, the bride, a heroic and capable woman, walking gracefully down from the sedan chair.

The complicated wedding dress could not hide her slender figure, and the red veil could not cover her heroic face.

This is his bride, Zhang Xingcai.

It is said that one should start a career before getting married, but for Guan Lin, it is the other way around, that is, one should start a family after establishing a career.

At this moment... Guan Lin was holding his wife's hand, and Zhang Xingcai was facing him openly. Even though they were covered by a bright red veil, the passionate gazes between them could not be hidden at all.

"Crossing the fire pot——"

"Across the saddle—"

"First worship the heaven and earth, second worship the high hall..."

When talking about their parents, when Guan Lin and Zhang Xingcai faced Guan Yu, Madam Hu, Zhang Fei and Xiahou Juan, Guan Yu could still sit upright with a serious expression, showing the majesty of a father, but Zhang Fei was as happy as a child.

"Oh, I finally got you as my son-in-law. Oh, I'm so happy, so happy... From now on, your father and I are friends in Taoyuan, and Yunqi and I are father-in-law and son-in-law. Ah, hahahaha..."

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were also among the people in the hall.

They looked at each other and sent their blessings to the newlyweds, "They are a match made in heaven. As an uncle, I am very lucky to be able to witness such a grand wedding for the son and daughter of my sworn brother..."

“Yunqi, do you still remember the intention of your uncle when he named you? Riding the graceful dragon, carrying the winding cloud flag! You and Xingcai are both outstanding people. Now... you are married and can fly together! Ah, hahahahaha…”

Liu Bei laughed.

Zhuge Liang also praised her, "Yunqi has made great contributions to the Three Revitalizations of the Han Dynasty, and now he has been granted the title of Marquis of Huainan. Xingcai is a rare female general in the Han Dynasty, beautiful and virtuous, heroic and capable, one civil and one military, with a good balance of power, it is truly a match made in heaven!"

Zhang Xingcai heard every word of praise from the bottom of her heart. She secretly glanced at her husband. Guan Lin also turned his head and stared at her. Their eyes met, and love and pity collided with each other at this moment.

But just when everyone was clamoring to send her to the bridal chamber.

But then two women broke into the room, each holding a baby in her arms.

It seemed that because they were dressed quite luxuriously, they were mistaken for invited guests.

They tried hard to squeeze forward...

The upright Zhuge Liang shouted: "When a husband and wife bow to each other..."

One of the women screamed.

"You can't worship!"

The sudden sound immediately brought the warm atmosphere of the wedding to a standstill. If one added the fact that they were holding children who looked exactly like Guan Yu... the atmosphere was enough to drop to freezing point in an instant.

In fact, everyone knows that Guan Lin had a concubine before he got married. That was Sun Quan’s daughter Sun Luyu, who gave birth to a son for Guan Lin.

嗏

It was obvious that the two women in front of him were not Sun Luyu, and in fact... they didn't look like women from the Central Plains.

Everyone was shocked...

Guan Ping quickly stepped forward to help his brother out: "Miss, today is my fourth brother's wedding. If you are a guest, we welcome you in Guan Mansion. But if you have other matters, please discuss them after the wedding. It won't be too late to solve them..."

Guan Ping was as polite as possible.

But he was also signaling to his servants. It was not convenient for him to take action on such a day, so he went to call for the guards of Guan family army!

"Here? Is this Guan Mansion?"

I only heard another woman holding a child speak.

"Yes!"

"The one we are looking for is the young master of the Guan family... This, this..." The woman glanced to the side, looked at the woman who came with her, and then said, "What we are holding is the offspring of the young master of the Guan family. If you don't believe it, you can let the child drop blood to recognize his kinship--"

what…

With this sound, the whole room fell silent.

Zhang Xingcai was so surprised that she took off the red cover herself. She stared at Guan Lin with anger, confusion, bewilderment, and resentment in her eyes.

"Yunqi, isn't there only that one? What do these...these...these two mean?"

"Yunqi, how many women and children do you have outside?"

Guan Lin was a little confused!
But soon, because Zhuge Liang was keenly aware of something, he immediately stepped out and tried to review and analyze the matter...

Misunderstandings...will always be easily resolved in front of smart people.

original…

The two women holding the children are the ghost woman and saints Zhang Yulan and Zhang Qiying from the Five Pecks of Rice Sect...

And the child’s father is not Guan Lin, the fourth son of the Guan family?

It’s obviously Guan Jia Wulang... Guan Suo!
That’s right, it was Hua Guansuo, the one who was merciful everywhere and sowed seeds in the southern barbarians!

only…

Following Guan Lin's instructions, Guan Suo and a group of women had already rushed to Xuzhou to carry out the secret mission.

The little tadpole is destined to not find his father today!

Of course, this was just a small episode, but it still made Guan Lin break out in a cold sweat...

Until the wedding night, he was still thinking...

Fifth brother, what’s going on?

It turns out that after a trip to Bashu, he not only brought back Huaman, the daughter of the Barbarian King, but also slept with a stable Southern Barbarian.

So... Zhang Yulan and Zhang Qiying are this couple, what kind of couple are they... ahem, my goodness, they are the ones who go to the brothel to listen to music... and have fun.

It turns out that he still wants to sleep out a willing and sincere follower of the Tianshi Dao and Wudoumi Sect——

Guan Lin was still in a daze.

Zhang Xingcai in the bridal chamber was already a little bored, but she couldn't help but ask anxiously.

"What are you thinking?"

"My fifth brother is really good, he plays with flowers too——"

Following Guan Lin’s words.

Zhang Xingcai actually took out a small prop used for horse driving from somewhere.

He handed the little prop to Guan Lin.

She said shyly, "Don't envy your fifth brother. Tonight...how about you also play a little...a little more fancy, a little bit?"

...

...

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

Xuzhou, Donghai County.

In a shabby tavern, only a candle was lit. This place, which was almost completely dark, was the place where Sima Yi and Wang Shuhe had agreed to meet.

Wang Shuhe had been waiting here for a long time.

finally…

When the night was quiet and the night watchman struck the third watch, it was at this moment.

A man in black robe slowly walked into the tavern.

As if he glanced casually at Wang Shuhe who was sitting alone at the table, the man in black robe found a seat not far from him and sat down.

No food was ordered, let alone tea or fruit.

call…

Only a faint exhalation was heard.

At this time, Wang Shuhe was quite excited. He lowered his voice and asked hurriedly: "Before, you sent me a letter, asking me to poison Guan Lin in Liu Bei's mansion and put the blame on Liu Bei for his death, thereby causing chaos in the world and giving Cao Pi in the north a good opportunity, but..."

At this point, Wang Shuhe paused, "When I received your letter, I also received news that Cao Pi was beheaded and you were missing, so this plan... I... I shelved it! For more than half a year, I have been looking for you... Even when the Sima family was infected with the plague... When the old patriarch Sima Fang was dying, I was waiting outside... But... But I still didn't see you! Where did you go? Your plan... Are you going to implement it?"

"Gudong"... a sound...

It seemed that when the Sima family was mentioned to have died of the plague, the man in black robe... shuddered obviously.

This is hugely sad...

It seemed that the mention of Sima Fang reminded the black-robed person of her most precious and treasured person——

But, it was this tremor that allowed Wang Shuhe to discover the clue.

Having studied medicine for many years, he has a keen eye. Perhaps he cannot tell clearly whether the person in front of him is the real Sima Yi, but he can still tell the difference between men and women.

——『Oh no, he is not Sima Yi! 』

This voice just sounded in my heart.

Subconsciously, Wang Shuhe turned around, as if he wanted to stop something.

But at this moment...

"Whoosh whoosh—"

"Whoosh whoosh—"

Countless fine arrows were shot towards the man in black robe.

Then, the chest, back, head, legs, arms... were all pierced by arrows.

too fast…

The crossbow arrow came so fast that Wang Shuhe didn't have time to tell them...the plan was cancelled!
Looking at the black-robed man lying on the ground, Wang Shuhe quickly tore off his black hat, only to see... a cold, pale face of a woman...

"It's not Sima Yi... it's his wife, Zhang Chunhua——"

Wang Shuhe shouted.

At this time, assassins from all directions rushed out. Among these assassins were Suo, Bao Sanniang, Wang Tao, Wang Yue, Hua Man...

However, after hearing Wang Shuhe recite the words "Not Sima Yi", everyone's faces froze.

As if facing a formidable enemy...

Guan Suo exclaimed: "No? How could it not be Sima Yi?"

But at this moment...

The sound of horse hooves could be heard outside the window. Wang Shuhe and Guan Suo quickly opened the window and saw a dark figure riding a horse and rushing into the woods under the moonlight!
"That's Sima Yi——"

Wang Shuhe cried out, "He...he actually let his wife Zhang Chunhua come to test us and come to her death—"

indeed…

Sima Yi did not know Wang Shuhe's current position, and he was an extremely cautious and suspicious person. For this reason, he was particularly careful and tricked his wife Zhang Chunhua to test it first.

Who would have thought…

As expected, the lady was pierced through the heart by thousands of arrows. Sima Yi was shocked by the change and did not stop for a moment... He fled quickly!

"Ah... alas..."

Guan Suo sighed repeatedly, then rushed out the door immediately, mounted his horse and chased after the black shadow. Wang Shuhe, Bao Sanniang, Wang Tao, Wang Yue, and Hua Man also rushed out to ride their horses.

Guan Suo just felt that the task assigned by his fourth brother... was completely messed up by him!

It was his fault that he wasn't careful enough!
Instead, they rode away on horseback...

In this dark and dilapidated tavern, the moonlight casts a fragrance all over the ground.

Zhang Chunhua, who was shot through by a thousand crossbows, had an extremely pale face, but his fingers were still trembling slightly, and his lips were making the final movement and struggle.

It seems...she seems to be saying.

"The heartless hurt others, the affectionate hurt themselves—"

She seemed to be whispering two names:

"Master, Zhao'er——"

"Mother...is back——"

...

...

Three years and three years!
The Han became more prosperous;
Sima Yi still had no light or shadow.

Those babies who were once in swaddling clothes have gradually grown up -

In late spring, many people go for a walk along the Luo River. They spread felts on the ground and sit in groups of three or four. Some people drink wine and compose poems by the flowing water. The mountains are soft, the water is gentle, and the warm breeze makes one feel intoxicated.

Guan Lin and his family chose a waterside spot a little further away from others.

Zhang Xingcai, Sun Luyu, Hua Man, Bao Sanniang, Zhang Yulan, Zhang Qiying, Wang Tao, Wang Yue... They took the children to fly kites, eight big and eight small...

Of all the children here, only one is Guan Lin's. The other seven are Guan Suo's children. They are shouting and making a lot of noise...

A few horses were leisurely chewing grass.

Guan Lin and Guan Suo sat around a mat with some wine and fruit on it...

Guan Suo has lost weight and has dark circles under his eyes. He doesn’t know if it’s because he doesn’t eat enough or if his consumption at night is different from that of ordinary people. Every time Guan Lin sees him, he feels like he’s starving…

Of course, the greater probability is... death from flooding -

Of course, it doesn’t matter!
When brothers meet, it is inevitable to reminisce about the past.

Looking at the pot of fragrant braised beef in soy sauce in front of him, Guan Suo asked: "Fourth brother? Why did you execute this cow? Was it because it glared at you too much? Or... because it took its left foot first? Or because it urinated anywhere? What else... what was it? Yes, yes, the curved plow invented by fourth brother saved half of the oxen, so what's wrong with eating one or two? No problem! Nothing wrong... Hahaha..."

As he spoke, Guan Suo pondered.

Guan Lin stuffed a piece of braised beef directly into his mouth. "It's been six years. The cattle farm we opened outside the Great Wall... has produced three-wheeled cattle. Now beef cattle are everywhere, and we eat cattle... Why should we frame you with any crime? I should frame you with a crime... Six years ago, I got married... Thinking about those two pregnant women who came to make trouble, I was almost scared to death. Thinking of this... I wish I could lock you up for a few days... Make you behave yourself, and make your brother behave yourself too!"

“Fourth brother, I would like to be locked up, but they won’t allow me…” Guan Suo looked at the beauties playing together, “Alas,” he sighed, “Fourth brother, you taught me that the way of heaven is to take away the excess and make up for the deficiency. Fourth brother used friends to explain it to me, but unfortunately… I was too young, too dull, too stupid, and too naive at that time… Alas…”

Followed by a long, faint sigh.

Guan Lin understands...very well...

Not to mention Guan Suo and his six men, even Guan Lin, with his wife and one concubine, could relate to the same feeling... Married men all understand, all understand——

Just when the two brothers were lamenting about life.

"Junhou..."

With a sound, Guan Lin turned around and saw Jiang Wei.

Although Jiang Wei is young now, he has already entered the cabinet. It was Guan Lin who recommended him.

Of course... this is also because the cabinet is too tired. After working for three years, Guan Lin... has come to terms with it...

Why are you so busy? With Zhuge Liang, Fa Zheng, Lu Xun, Lu Su and others in charge, the Han Dynasty will not be in chaos and all new policies will be able to be implemented.

Use Zhuge Liang's method, that is, to win by combining the right and the unexpected -

Using the correct method, that is, to stop the promoters of the new policy, death -

Use Lu Su's method, unite some clans, suppress some clans, unite the people and make alliances, only then can you get rid of the helplessness!
With Lu Xun's methods, he had already prepared a corresponding plan before the voices of opposition even appeared. The opponents had only two final outcomes: support or destruction!
Actually... Guan Lin is really not needed.

Each of these people is a talented person who can serve as a prime minister...what does it have to do with Lin?

Life is so beautiful, it’s better to take it easy and relax.

As for Jiang Wei, ever since he entered the cabinet, he would tell Guan Lin every detail of the intelligence, news, and decisions received in the cabinet.

Guan Lin just listened to it as if it were a story.

Enjoy leisure time——

For example, this time...

"Sir, a lot has happened in the past two months. The first is that this round of the imperial examination can be said to be the most successful one. The talents and generals selected from it are extremely outstanding. One of them is called Deng Ai. He was born in a poor family, but he is a promising talent. He was accepted as a disciple by Prime Minister Zhuge and is being carefully trained!"

"In addition, General Meng Huo led his army to India. The combination of elephant soldiers and our new weapons of the Han Dynasty destroyed everything they went through—"

"On the southeast coast, according to the news sent by Jiaozhi Shixie family, the shipyard has made a huge breakthrough. It is said that the ships built this time can travel several times farther than before, and it is very likely to reach the location of San Francisco in the map sent by the young master-"

"General Zhang Liao led his army to the Kushan Empire... The Kushan Empire fought with General Zhang. They all thought that General Zhang's army was still setting up camp, but they didn't expect that... General Zhang led 800 warriors to attack. In one day and one night, he killed 150,000 Kushan Empire troops without a single piece of armor left. He killed 75 Kushan Empire generals in battle and captured the royal family. In this battle... General Guan heard that the Kushan Empire had many soldiers and generals, and originally intended to coordinate the attack. Who would have thought that General Zhang Liao only said that the 800 defeated 100,000 at Xiaoyaojin because Sun Quan only had 100,000, but he didn't say that the limit of Zhang Liao and the 800 Tiger Guards was 100,000!"

Hear this…

Guan Lin actually felt quite excited.

At this time, Huaman opened her mouth and called Guan Suo, as if a little child wanted her father to hold her, so... Guan Suo left and no longer listened to Jiang Wei's story.

"Go on..."

Guan Lin was quite interested.

Listening to Jiang Wei’s report every two months is like a storytelling session...very interesting.

"Others... such as Mobei... According to the proposal made by the young master three years ago, the Mobei Hu people were moved to the inland, accepted the inland culture, and intermarried with the inland people... Now it has been quite effective! All thanks to the battle of Jinyang, 400,000 strong men of the Hu people were killed, and only women and children were left. The assimilation process is very smooth!
Hear this…

Guan Lin was already feeling somewhat depressed.

He raised his head slightly, narrowed his eyes, and looked at Jiang Wei. "There's no need to talk about anything else. It's nothing more than the new policy or the expansion of territory... But, is there any news about Sima Yi?"

Even after six years...

Guan Lin still kept Sima Yi in mind.

Considering that in history this old guy was able to endure until he was seventy years old before launching the Gaopingling Incident, Guan Lin always regarded him as the biggest threat to the Han Dynasty today.

Guan Lin can't sleep well unless he dies!
"Speaking of Sima Yi... Sir, the cabinet has received some news recently... but it cannot accurately point to Sima Yi——"

"tell me the story!"

Jiang Wei's words immediately perked up Guan Lin.

"It's Yamatai..." Jiang Wei said, "Originally, Yamatai was conquered and occupied by the Jiangzuo Alliance under the prince... It has been like this for six years, and it has been quite smooth. It can be said that 70% of the territory of the entire Yamatai region belongs to the Jiangzuo Alliance. This has also brought great benefits to those big families, making them completely loyal to the prince and the Jiangzuo Alliance. But..."

Guan Lin could hear the heaviness in Jiang Wei's tone.

His eyes became more focused. "Bo Yue, it doesn't matter what you say. No matter what happens, you are not afraid... I am still here. If things get worse, I still have my father, my uncle, and Prime Minister Zhuge. If an enemy comes, we will stop him. If a flood comes, we will block it with earth!"

After hearing Guan Lin's words, Jiang Wei said, "Suddenly, a woman who practices ghost and god Taoism and can deceive people with sorcery appeared in Yamatai Kingdom..."

When Jiang Wei said this, Guan Lin subconsciously chanted a name, "Himiko?"

"How did you know that, sir?" "Go on," Guan Lin ordered.

"Originally, this kind of witchcraft is nothing. It has also existed in the Bashu region of our Han Dynasty. But... it was Himiko who, in just a few months, integrated and conquered the Yamatai regions that we had not yet conquered, formed an army, and called herself the queen. In a short period of time, she gathered tens of thousands of warriors and even launched an attack on our Jiangzuo Alliance, winning multiple battles!"

"Wait..." Jiang Wei said this, Guan Lin was a little confused, "What does this have to do with Sima Yi?"

"I was just about to talk about their connection." Jiang Wei became more serious and meticulous. "It is said that... this Himiko is old and unmarried. She has a thousand maids, but few people can see her true face. Her daily needs and orders are always conveyed by a man. At the same time, the palaces, towers and city gates where she lives are heavily guarded, and the laws are also very strict... As for the connection with Sima Yi that you asked about, according to... the information obtained by our spies, the man who conveyed her needs and orders was seen by someone, and it was Sima Yi... Some people also speculate that Himiko's ability to quickly integrate the region and form an army is also inseparable from Sima Yi's help!"

At this point, Jiang Wei paused for a moment, then added a more serious tone: "There is also news. Recently... because of our Han army's conquests in Tianzhu, Mobei, Yamatai, and Kushan, some people have begun to secretly contact these external forces... trying to unite and overthrow the Han Dynasty, and it has already begun. Our latest military operations... have all encountered considerable resistance."

call…

I have to say, Guan Lin was quite shocked when he heard this.

Han Chan, Sima Yi, Aristocratic Dynasty…

It turns out that they did not realize it in the Han Dynasty. They wanted to start it in Yamatai and then subvert the Han Dynasty.

As expected... this is Sima Yi with the eyes of an eagle and the back of a wolf!

If... if he really let him "unite the many states" and unite Yamatai, India, Mobei, the Philippines... and even the Kushan Empire and the Roman Empire, the situation would definitely take a sharp turn for the worse and become passive.

call…

Another long breath.

Seeing that the young master was in a heavy mood, Jiang Wei asked, "These... the cabinet has already started discussing them. Young master, there is no need to worry too much. I expect that there will be corresponding strategies soon..."

"I'll take care of this!" Guan Lin narrowed his eyes, glanced at Guan Suo who was leading the children and beauties to fly kites, then turned his gaze back and solemnly and meticulously put a book into Jiang Wei's hand.

Then he slowly stood up and walked away...

Jiang Wei took a look and found that it was just an ordinary book. But when he opened it, he found that it only had two pages...

Page 1: I examine myself three times a day!

Page 2: Am I too polite? Am I giving him too much face? Is it time for me to take action?

Uh…

Jiang Wei was stunned.

This... could this be what Young Master Yunqi meant by self-reflection?
...

On the other side of the Luo River, Lingju and her mother Diao Chan were also enjoying themselves.

I accidentally saw the scene on the opposite side.

Even though she is the feared parrot mistress and female killer, but... no matter the murderous aura or vicious spirit, it cannot conceal Lingju's stunningly beautiful face.

Compared to Diao Chan, she has more of her father's heroic spirit and appears to be extremely capable...

It's just... at this time, she is at the prime of her life, a time when she should be happy and carefree, but there is a hint of melancholy on her face, as if she is struck by sorrow, which she cannot avoid between her brows and in her heart.

I took a sip of wine...

However, the wine made her even sadder. Looking at Zhang Xingcai and Sun Luyu on the other side of the river, her mood became even more depressed.

"Actually..." Diao Chan observed her daughter for a long time before she spoke softly, "Actually... if you want to marry him, with the matchmaking of the genius doctor Zhongjing and your uncle Zang Ba, you can't be his wife... but you can still be his concubine. I'm sure neither General Guan nor Madam Hu will refuse."

Diao Chan asked this question tentatively, and her words were neither light nor heavy, for fear of... touching some sensitive nerve of her daughter again.

Who would have known…

In stark contrast to Diao Chan's nervousness, Lingju waved her hand lightly. It only took her a short time to completely adjust herself.

"What about my wife? What about my concubine?"

"What I admire is his uniqueness, his wisdom and intelligence, his strategy and his free and easy manner... It's him... It's him who can help me..."

At the end, Lingju seemed unable to continue. She pursed her lips, then looked at Zhang Xingcai and Sun Luyu again, "Perhaps, only a family like that can allow me to marry him?"

As she spoke, she stopped exerting force, letting her fingers droop one by one. After a long time, he finally chanted in a low voice: "Joy is fun, separation is painful, and there are even more foolish children. I am not a foolish child. As long as I have worked side by side with him, worked together for a goal, and devoted myself wholeheartedly, that is enough..."

Listen to my daughter's words...

Diao Chan bit her lip slightly, repeating her daughter's words, "Joy is fun, separation is painful, and there are even more foolish children among them? You wrote this, can you also write lyrics?"

"He wrote it. The poems she wrote are selling very well in the market..." Lingju smiled and then continued, "In fact, there is another one that I like very much..."

"what?"

"The autumn wind is clear, the autumn moon is bright; the fallen leaves gather and scatter, the jackdaws roost and are startled. I don't know when we will meet again, it's embarrassing at this time and night——"

Having said this, Lingju seemed to have reconciled with the love in her heart.

She smiled again, then stood up... took one last look in Guan Lin's direction, then turned around and made a chic pose.

however…

The sun was shining brightly in the sky, the breeze was blowing the leaves, crows were crying on the treetops, but Lingju could bear it no longer and tears welled up in her eyes.

...

Over there, you should have something to say. The clouds are vast in the distance, the mountains are covered with snow at dusk, and your shadow is going to someone alone. It is a sad autumn.

On this side, it is warm like spring and the scenery is pleasant.

"Daddy, Daddy——"

Guan Lin's daughter Guan Yan ran towards Guan Lin.

"Wu'er? What's wrong?" Guan Lin picked her up. Guan Yan is six years old this year, which is the time when she is most curious about everything in the world.

"There's an uncle who keeps chasing me... He says he wants to arrest me..."

Guan Yan felt extremely aggrieved and hugged Guan Lin tightly with both hands.

Guan Lin turned around and noticed...it was Liu Chan who came.

Speaking of which, since... the unification of the country and the establishment of the cabinet, Liu Chan suddenly did not feel so much pressure.

Yes…

His father was not an emperor, and he would not be an emperor in the future. For him, this was... a very happy thing.

Although... Liu Bei hoped his sons would become successful and his daughters would become outstanding, he also had high hopes for his children.

But... he is not the material to enter the cabinet, so it is useless even if we have high hopes for him.

Besides, the cabinet is not hereditary...

Liu Chan also made some contributions in the decisive battle of unification six years ago. He recruited an army of Qiang people and forged a number of magical weapons. He can be said to have made some contributions and can give an account to the world!

Therefore, Liu Bei relaxed his attitude towards Liu Chan.

This made Liu Chan very happy...

So...

So I came to find Guan Lin.

Speaking of which, Guan Lin was not very happy today because of Sima Yi's matter, and he was in a very heavy mood.

However, this is what it’s like to be a father. As long as his daughter calls him “Daddy”, all his troubles will be gone.

But I found out... Liu Chan was bullying his daughter, and I couldn't tolerate it.

"What? You, as a disciple, have you dared to bully my daughter?"

"Hey... I was just joking with him! She ran and I chased her, she ran again and I chased her again, isn't this just fun?"

Liu Chan looked aggrieved, but he spoke with a smile.

"Okay, Wu'er... go play with your sister over there..." Guan Lin comforted his daughter, then Guan Yan nodded, made a face at Liu Chan and ran away.

Now, only Guan Lin and Liu Chan were left here, and Guan Lin's expression turned serious the moment his daughter left.

"Master? What's wrong? You look so worried..."

"It's okay!" Guan Lin waved his hand, not wanting to talk, but after thinking for a while, he said, "That's not right. I heard that my uncle doesn't care about you much recently. You are nostalgic for the pleasure boat and keen on singing and dancing. How come you have time to come to my place?"

When something goes wrong, there must be a monster...

I haven't seen Liu Chan for nearly a month. When we met today, he was smiling. Guan Lin felt that something was fishy... something was weird!
"Actually... it's nothing. There is something that I... I, the disciple, have thought about it carefully before I tell Master!"

Once a teacher, always a teacher.

Liu Chan was still particular about this.

"If you have something to say, just say it. If you have to fart, just fart. I'm busy." Guan Lin was a little impatient and was about to move forward...

Liu Chan grabbed his sleeve and said, "Master, this is what happened. I was thinking...your father and our third uncle are sworn brothers from the Peach Garden...you are marrying Xingcai, which is a double bond, but I...my father is also your uncle, Xingcai's uncle, I was thinking, we can also be even closer relatives!"

what…

Guan Lin was stunned, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. He looked at his daughter Guan Yan and Guan Wenwu... then stretched out his hands, "Liu Adou! You beast! Do you still know that I am your master? My daughter is only six years old, and you actually want to hit on her? You are not a child anymore, can you behave yourself... You really should find a strong woman to teach you a lesson..."

Guan Lin's words were originally a rebuke.

Never thought...

Liu Chan suddenly became excited, "Master... don't tell me, don't tell me... I really found a powerful woman who can control me!"

"Who is it?" Guan Lin felt it was a bit strange. If he searched with these conditions, she would be a powerful woman, and she could be closely related to him. Who could this be?
Thinking of this, Guan Lin couldn't help but ask again.

"Who is it?"

"Master, you can't even guess this. It's your sister... Sister Yinping!"

puff…

Really, Guan Lin almost spit out his saliva.

Ah...ah...ah...

He was a little confused and a little dizzy... The dizziness became more and more severe, and he felt light-headed.

After pondering for a long time...

"you…"

Guan Lin blurted out the word "you", but suddenly he didn't know what to say next.

"What a beast! What a beast!"

"Liu Adou, I, Guan Lin, treat you as my apprentice. Whatever you want to learn, I will teach you without reservation. But you actually like my sister, and you want to be my brother-in-law?
"Master...Master..." Liu Chan seemed to have anticipated Guan Lin's reaction. He grabbed Guan Lin's sleeve tightly and tried to explain: "Actually, Master...you don't know that Sister Yinping and I have been together for more than a year. It's just that we both...didn't dare to tell you...But don't worry, I have already discussed it with Sister Yinping...from now on, we...will still talk to each other. I will still call you Master, and you call me Brother-in-law..."

"day--"

"Master...ah no, brother-in-law, what's wrong? What happened to you again, the sun?"

For a moment, Guan Lin really wanted to draw his sword.

It turns out... Third sister Guan Yinping and this kid Adou did a great job of keeping secrets!

"day--"

Today, Guan Lin had an urge to crush the sun, and he had already started punching.

Who would have thought that at this time...

"Cloud Flag..."

Guan Yinping's clear female voice rang out, "Why are you being so disrespectful? Who told you to fight with your brother-in-law?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Chan quickly waved his hands, "Yinping... don't blame him, don't blame my master... don't blame my master, it's just that our matter was a little sudden and frightened him..."

Uh…

What a fucking brother-in-law!
What a goddamn master!

I, Guan Lin, have been stealing homes all my life, but in the end, it was you, Adou, who stole my home.

It's really like that. It's really up to each of us to discuss our own opinions——

For a moment, Guan Lin understood how his father Guan Yu felt when he faced his rebellious son.

That was really a rage... It exploded with a "whoosh" and was about to rush out!
...

...

One year later, Yamatai Kingdom.

A masked, well-built island woman was gazing down at the man in front of her.

The arrogant tone in his voice... is the kind that only a person of extreme superiority would have when speaking to someone of lower status.

"Why do you think we can believe you? The Han Dynasty is now so powerful. We have swept across the Xiongnu, restored the Western Regions, sent troops to India, and defeated the Kushan Empire. Everything is due to the Han Dynasty... Everyone is learning Chinese characters, Chinese language, and Chinese culture. Why do you think that we, Yamatai, have a chance to split it? Disintegrate it? Even... join your so-called 'alliance'?"

The woman who was speaking was Himiko, the queen of Yamatai.

The long hair is silky, shiny and smooth.

The deep gaze in his eyes can inspire awe.

She has a straight nose, light but lustrous lips, and occasionally a gentle yet elusive smile on the corners of her mouth, making it difficult to fathom her true intentions.

The lapels and sleeves are embroidered with intricate and delicate patterns, like the moon and the sun, or "Tsukuyomi" and "Amaterasu"——

With his clothes fluttering in the wind, he looked like a god descending from heaven, emitting an indomitable brilliance.

As for the man in front of her, it was Sima Yi...

The eagle-like and wolf-like eyes did not change at all, and there was even a hint of hatred in them, as if what he insisted on must be evil and terrifying.

Facing the questioning of Himiko, the Queen of Yamatai.

He spoke confidently, "Because I have united Goguryeo, Mahan, Jinhan and Byeonhan to form the Three Han Alliance. In addition, Funan (Thailand) and Pyu (Myanmar) in Jinlin and Linyang are also afraid of the bravery of the Han army and have shown signs of cooperation... Not to mention that the Kushan Empire just suffered a great defeat with its 150,000 troops, and more than half of its territory has been eroded by the Han... These are all the forces I want to absorb into my alliance!"

"There is an old saying in China that only by uniting all forces can the weak defeat the strong... If we let it go and only focus on Yamatai, then one day we will be cannibalized... and because of the great man Guan Lin, the time of this cannibalization will not be too far away."

Hearing these words...

Himiko paused, then nodded slowly, "You said it very well... But, as you said, the Han Dynasty is so powerful, what guarantee do you have? These forces... can join this so-called alliance..."

"These..." Sima Yi took out the blueprints from his arms, "I have been traveling back and forth between countries over the years, trying my best to make this happen, including helping the queen integrate Yamatai, build an army, and attack the islands and regions occupied by the Han people... These are all for today, for the achievement and realization of this alliance! Even... the queen doesn't know yet, the new king of the Kushan Empire is supported by me... After the Kushan Empire was defeated by Zhang Liao, it was a mess, and I helped them reorganize it. My words carry a lot of weight there-"

I heard Sima Yi say this again.

Himiko smiled approvingly again.

"very good…"

"Sima Zhongda, I have supported you for a long time. I never thought that you would achieve so much in just three years! You have put into practice all the things you promised me. It is not like six years ago when I picked you up at the port of Xuzhou East China Sea and put you on the ship sailing eastward... However, I have always had a question, why are you so persistent in uniting and forming an alliance to destroy the Han Dynasty? Do you hate the Han Dynasty so much?"

"Hehe..." Sima Yi laughed. It was a bitter, forbearing, and sharp laugh. This laugh lasted for a full ten breaths before he opened his mouth, "Your Majesty, if I say... the purpose of my doing this is just to defeat that guy once? Do you believe it?"

"Zhuge Kongming?"

"No, it's not Zhuge Kongming, it's Guan Lin, the fourth son of the Guan family, Guan Yunqi—"

"It seems that he is not in the cabinet of the Han Dynasty!"

"Haha, only if the big guy is hurt, will this guy...take action..."

It seems that it is because of the mention of Guan Lin...

Sima Yi's expression became cold and indifferent, as if he was an awl that had been immersed in ice for a whole winter.

Those extremely obvious... eagle-like and wolf-like eyes appeared again.

God knows what he has been through in these seven years.

God knows how much he wants to take back everything he lost——

But at this moment...

Just when Sima Yi was fantasizing about his alliance, destroying the Han Dynasty, and hoping to defeat Guan Lin once and for all.

Maybe it was because I was too involved, or maybe it was because the change happened so quickly.

When the samurai sword in Himiko's hand pierced his chest, he did not dodge at all, and the cool wind blew into the wound on his body. Until then... he realized that he... he was stabbed, and the wound was... in a fatal place.

"you you…"

Sima Yi covered the blade with his hands, and blood gushed out in torrents, surging violently.

Even at this moment, he couldn't believe that the Queen of Yamatai, who had supported him for seven years, would actually stab a sharp samurai sword into his chest.

"Why... why?"

Sima Yi opened his eyes, his pupils dilated to their maximum...

Fortunately, he found the answer before he died.

Because, in this room, behind the dark curtain, a handsome, heroic man slowly walked out. Sima Yi recognized him... he had seen his portrait. It was Guan Suo, Guan Lin's younger brother.

And as Guan Suo walked out...

The originally high-handed Queen Himiko actually held his arm like a little bird.

The tenderness in Himiko's eyes could not be hidden at all.

It was as if at this moment, Guan Suo was everything to him.

"Good boy, you did a great job—"

Guan Suo praised him, then looked at Sima Yi...

He understood. At this moment, Sima Yi finally understood before his death.

Guan Suo's voice was heard.

"Sima Zhongda, where are you going this time?"

Just as Guan Suo's voice fell, Himiko's tender voice was heard again.

"Measure the resources of Yamatai and win the favor of the handsome man—"

After that, it was this pair of loving lovers... They just stood there and watched Sima Yi's eagle-like eyes gradually shrink, his muscles stiffened, his mouth opened, and his face turned pale, without a trace of blood.

So far…

Then in Guan Lin's mind, the last hidden danger of the Han Dynasty was completely eliminated -

After he slept out a stable Nanman and a surrendered Tianshidao, Guan Lin's younger brother Hua Guansuo made another extraordinary achievement by sleeping out a surrendered Yamatai.

"Fourth brother, I have eliminated the person you fear the most. I am no longer the kid who follows you around and only knows how to eat beef!" - Hua Guansuo, the fifth son of the Guan family
