Three Kingdoms: Heir of Wolong, my father-in-law is Guan Gong

Chapter 20 Mi Zhu trains his younger brother, his younger brother is always his younger brother
  Mi Fang's eyes became more gloomy: "How dare Pan Zhu, such a bastard, come to cause trouble? Do you really think that since he is Jingzhou Zhizhong's son, I can't touch him?"

"Did Pan Jun think that because his brother-in-law Jiang Gongyan was appreciated by military advisors in Xichuan and respected by his lord, he would be confident in Jingzhou?"

"My lord asked me to be the governor of Nanjun just to make Pan Jun and other Jingzhou powerful men obey orders. I really take myself seriously!"

The conflict between Mi Fang and Guan Yu has been around for a long time.

If given the chance, Mi Fang would naturally want to replace Guan Yu, but the situation in Jingzhou has been complicated in recent years, and Guan Yu cannot be separated!

Guan Yu also needed Mi Fang to take charge of Nanjun to prevent local governors like Hao Pu from surrendering again.

Although Mi Fang and Guan Yu had many conflicts in private, they also restrained each other and did not really break up with each other.

When Pan Zhu came to support the fire, the nature was different.

Mi Fang and Guan Yu essentially represent Liu Bei's interests. No matter how they fight, Liu Bei's left hand will always be the right hand. Pan Jun and Pan Zhu represent the interests of the powerful local nobles in Jingzhou. They want to win from Liu Bei's bowl. Grab food!
  "Brother Zifang, Pan Zhu's secret arrogance will definitely affect his business with the barbarian merchants."

"I thought that since Zhuge Qiao chose to tell me this matter, it means that Zhuge Qiao does not want to be an enemy of Brother Zifang."

"Brother Zifang can cooperate with Zhuge Qiao in checking the accounts in private, let Zhuge Qiao explain himself in front of the prince, and then take the opportunity to recruit Zhuge Qiao to deal with Pan Jun."

"With the removal of Pan Jun, all the internal affairs of Jingzhou will be under the control of brother Zifang."

"At that time, even if the prince knows about Brother Zifang's business with Man Shang and Chu Shang, he will only turn a blind eye."

"Jingzhou's military affairs cannot be separated from the monarchs, and its literary affairs cannot be separated from Brother Zifang!"

Shiren never forgets the business of the barbarian merchants. After all, it is a big business of "five hundred bows, one hundred thousand arrows, three hundred ring-headed knives, and five hundred pairs of leather armor"!
  Mi Fang lowered her head, frowning and thinking.

Compared with Shiren's relatively simple mind, Mi Fang's mind is much more complicated.

Liu Bei made Mi Fang the governor of Nanjun. In addition to the fact that Mi Fang was his old brother who had been with him for more than 20 years, there was also the reason why Mi Fang was more thoughtful than ordinary people.

"We have to return to Jiangling City."

"Pan Jun and Pan Zhu, father and son, I usually don't bother to pay attention to, but now they want to disturb me. They really don't want to live or die."

"Although returning to Jiangling City may allow my brother to see through my secrets in Jiangling City, with my brother's personality, he will not just sit back and watch me be bullied by Pan Jun and Pan Zhu."

"Is it true that my brother has no temper?"

"Perhaps, this is still an opportunity, an opportunity to take charge of Jingzhou's internal affairs!"

With a decision in her heart, Mi Fang's brows gradually relaxed.

"General Shi, don't worry about the business of barbarian merchants. No one can interfere with the business that I, Mi Zifang, want to do."

"You stay in Public Security City and discuss the details with Hao Pu and Man Shang. Don't fall into Man Shang's tricks."

"Our goal is just to make money, not to let the barbarian merchants get the weapons and cause trouble."

"The cost of countering the rebellion is far greater than the profit provided by the barbarian merchants."

Mi Fang is a businessman by nature. She does everything for profit, and she also sells arms to make money.

But if the sale of arms leads to barbarian rebellion, the matter of raising funds to quell the rebellion will have to be solved by Mi Fang.

That would be a thankless task.

Shiren also understood this truth and made a solemn promise: "Brother Zifang, don't worry, what tricks can a mere barbarian merchant pull off?"

Leaving the affairs of the barbarian merchants in the hands of Shiren, Mi Fang returned to Jiangling City with a few followers overnight.

After resting for two hours, Mi Fang came to the posthouse early in the morning to look for Mi Zhu.

"My foolish brother was on patrol in Nanjun. I couldn't find time to greet my brother. Please forgive me!" Mi Fang treated Mi Zhu as a big gift when he saw her. Mi Fang and Mi Zhu haven't seen each other in nearly five years since Mi Zhu went to Xichuan.

Mi Fang's seemingly sufficient reason was very clumsy in Mi Zhu's eyes, but Mi Zhu saw through it and accepted Mi Fang's apology.

After the greetings, Mi Zhu invited Mi Fang into the post house to reminisce about the past.

During the chat, Mi Zhu deliberately mentioned the rumors that Mi Fang was at odds with Guan Yu: "Zifang, I often heard in Xichuan that you were at odds with the prince. I don't know why?"

Mi Fang was shocked in her heart, but what she blurted out was aggrieved: "Brother Mingjian!"

"I am in charge of civil affairs, and the prince is in charge of military affairs. It is normal for civil affairs and military affairs to occasionally have disharmony."

"How can we make up rumors that we are at odds just because we occasionally have quarrels?"

"This must be a thief who wants to sow discord!"

"What's more, Junhou and I are brothers who have been with the lord for more than 20 years. We have always been loyal to the lord. How can we abandon the public for personal reasons?"

Mi Fang's words were righteous and awe-inspiring.

What's the discord?
  This is slander!

Mi Zhu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and believed Mi Fang's words: "It must be the thief who is sowing discord and wants Zifang and the prince to be suspicious of each other. I will personally explain this matter to the prince."

"Jingzhou is an important place, and my lord has high hopes for Zifang and the princes. We must not let the villain succeed because of unnecessary misunderstandings."

Mi Fang also breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Brother, I have come all the way to live in this post house. It would be too unfair. I have bought a new house in Jiangling City. Brother, you can move there."

By asking this, Mi Fang actually wanted to test whether Mi Zhu wanted to stay in Jiangling City.

If Mi Zhu stays for a short time, he will choose to stay in the post house; if Mi Zhu stays for a long time, he will choose to go to Mi Fang's private house.

however.

Mi Fang's little thoughts couldn't be hidden from Mi Zhu, who still didn't point it out: "I understand Zifang's kindness. It's just that it's more convenient to live in the post house, and I won't stay in Jiangling City for too long, so I won't move. .”

Mi Fang was secretly happy.

As long as Mi Zhu didn't stay long, there was no way he would be able to detect the secrets of Jiangling City.

Thinking of Zhuge Qiao's mission, Mi Zhu said again: "Zifang, Aqiao came to Jiangling City this time because of some accidents, which made the prince quite unhappy."

"I was entrusted by the military advisor to let Aqiao marry the prince's daughter. I cannot let the military advisor down."

"You, please cooperate appropriately, Aqiao."

Mi Zhu didn't speak too clearly, but Mi Fang already understood the meaning.

However, Zhuge Qiao's check on the accounts was just Guan Yu's impromptu idea, hoping that Zhuge Qiao would retreat in the face of difficulties.

"Brother, don't worry. Aqiao is a junior. How can I be as knowledgeable as a junior?" Mi Fang agreed, and then said: "But why does the military advisor have to marry a prince? My Mi family also has a daughter to be married."

"If you can marry a military advisor——"

Before he finished speaking, Mi Zhu interrupted Mi Fang's thoughts: "Zifang, you have to remember. The daughter of my Mi family will only marry the lord."

"If you marry with a military advisor, or with other civil and military dignitaries, it will definitely make the Mi family more powerful. This is a recipe for disaster!"

　The progress is indeed a bit slow, but the young author has speeded up appropriately.

　　I wouldn’t write hundreds of chapters about Bai Yi crossing the river, that would be too watery.
