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

Chapter 92: The mountain city has just arrived, but the people’s hearts are still undecided? Can you try again? (1525)

In front of Kuai Qi's grave.

Five hundred soldiers wrapped in plain scarves stood silently.

Zhuge Qiao and Liu Feng were also wrapped in plain scarves, waiting for the arrival of everyone in Fangling.

"Ah Qiao, are we really just here to worship?" Liu Feng couldn't understand Zhuge Qiao's intentions.

According to Liu Feng's opinion, since Deng Fu dared to deliberately shirk his duties under Meng Da's order, he should directly kill Deng Fu as a warning to others.

Zhuge Qiao sneered: "Although Meng Da is brave, he doesn't understand people's hearts."

"My uncle has been the governor of Fangling for more than ten years. There are so many people who have benefited from my uncle's kindness."

"Now that I am dying in Fangling, I am also dying for my loyalty to the emperor."

"At this time, you should show your uncle's loyalty and treat his widow and orphans kindly, instead of letting someone who is ignorant of calligraphy and etiquette become the governor of Fangling in the future."

"It's called a favor, but it's actually a prison sentence. I want to use this to make my uncle's former officials dare not act rashly."

"If we were truly kind, my uncle's widow should be in Chengdu at this moment, not Fangling."

"If you are not sincere, it will be difficult to care for the people."

Liu Feng was shocked.

Zhuge Qiao had such a profound judgment on the situation in Fangling.

"If you are not sincere, it will be difficult to care for the people. Aqiao's words are quite similar to my father's previous teachings." Liu Feng thought secretly.

Officials and people from Fangling City arrived one after another.

Everyone was also surprised when they saw five hundred soldiers wrapped in plain scarves and standing silently in front of Kuai Qi's grave.

The people from Fangling who came after hearing the news didn't really believe it at first.

Many people are willing to come because of the relative relationship between Zhuge Qiao and Kuai Qi.

"Five hundred soldiers are all wrapped in plain scarves. This is not a simple worship."

"Does this mean the King of Hanzhong?"

Although everyone had doubts in their hearts, no one spoke up or made any noise.

After a while.

The crowd made way for a passage, and Kuai Qi's widow arrived in a bullock cart.

Seeing this, Zhuge Qiao quickly stepped forward and saluted: "My nephew Zhuge Qiao, I have met my aunt!"

This is the first time Zhuge Qiao and Zhuge Liang’s eldest sister meet.

"Are you Brother Jin's son?" Mrs. Zhuge was a little unsure.

Zhuge Liang still has no children, and Mrs. Zhuge also knows it. Mrs. Zhuge also knows the name Zhuge Qiao from Zhuge Jin's letters.

Zhuge Qiao nodded: "I am Uncle Jin's second son. My father has no children, so I adopted him as his son."

Mrs. Zhuge's sad face squeezed out a smile: "Brother Jin once said in a letter that although Ah Qiao is not as smart as Ah Ke, he is a very filial man. You are willing to come to worship your uncle. You are a good boy."

Zhuge Qiao said solemnly: "My uncle died for his loyalty to the emperor. As a junior, how can I not come to pay my respects?"

Mrs. Zhuge's eyes became a little more sad: "That's just how my uncle is. He won't change what he has decided. I can't persuade him either."

Zhuge Qiao invited Liu Feng to pay tribute to Mrs. Zhuge.

Liu Feng also understood Zhuge Qiao's intention at this moment, and he was quite respectful in terms of etiquette.

After reciting the ceremony, Zhuge Qiao helped Mrs. Zhuge to Kuai Qi's grave.

Kuai Qi's eldest son died young, and now the only ones with Mrs. Zhuge are her youngest son Kuai Ming, who is less than ten years old, and her two daughters who have not yet left the palace.

Zhuge Qiao took out the sacrificial inscriptions he had prepared.

There are more than a thousand words in the memorial text, which sings about Kuai Qi's life, the high-spirited youth, the enterprising spirit of the youth, the concern for the country and the people in the middle age, and finally the generosity of dying for the emperor's loyalty.

Zhuge Qiao's tone when he sang the sacrificial rites was also full of affection and cadence, making those who heard it cry. Especially since Kuai Qi had been the prefect of Fangling for more than ten years, his disciples and former officials who had benefited from Kuai Qi's favors shed tears when they heard this.

"If it weren't for Cao Cao's thief usurping power and stealing the Han Dynasty and humiliating the emperor, how could our Han people be at war with each other?"

"The battlefield is ruthless, brothers kill brothers, fathers kill sons, relatives and friends slaughter each other, how sad!"

"This crime was all caused by Cao Cao's thieves usurping Han Dynasty!"

"The king of Hanzhong offered sacrifices to the sky, pointing to the Han River, and swore an oath that the Han and traitors would not be at odds with each other, and that the king's industry would not be in peace, and he swore to eliminate the Cao thieves."

"Although I am only a humble person, I will still do my best to revive the Han Dynasty. I will not return the army until I get rid of Cao Cao's thieves."

"This memorial text is used today to commemorate the late Governor Kuai of Fangling. It also serves to comfort the people of Fangling. The King of Hanzhong is by no means an unjust master, nor is he a rebel king with no ambitions to settle in Xichuan."

"Master Wang is here just to end the war with war and restore a peaceful and prosperous world to the world."

"If there is a treacherous villain who wants to harm the great cause of the King of Hanzhong with his own selfish desires, I, Zhuge Qiao, will kill him on behalf of the King of Hanzhong!"

"The military situation is urgent, and we need to rush to Fancheng. The widow of Governor Kuai is entrusted to your care."

Zhuge Qiao got on his horse, bowed his hands to everyone in Fangling, then ignored everyone and rode away.

Liu Feng also rode behind him.

Five hundred soldiers wrapped in plain scarves shouted in unison, "The Han and the traitors will not stand apart, and the king's business will not be peaceful." and followed closely with powerful steps.

Deng Fu, the prefect of Fangling, turned even paler.

Zhuge Qiao left happily, but Deng Fu felt uncomfortable.

Whenever Zhuge Qiao said something similar to "please support food and grass" in public, Deng Fu could also respond.

But Zhuge Qiao just didn't speak directly.

The mountain city has just arrived, but the people's hearts are still undecided?
  I, Zhuge Qiao, have established the people's support for you, how are you going to refuse?

Secretly imprisoning Kuai Qi's widow?
  If you want to be sprayed to death by everyone in Fangling, Zhuge Qiao won't stop you!
  Deng Fu had no choice but to ask Mrs. Zhuge for help.

Deng Fu did not dare to touch the food and grass in Fangling's treasury. If he did, he would be punished by Meng Da.

But if he wanted the people of Fangling to obediently offer food and grass, Deng Fu could not conquer them.

This was only possible if the wife of the former prefect Kuai Qi came.

Mrs. Zhuge has been a prefect's wife for more than ten years, so she doesn't know everything.

Deng Fu made a request in private, and Mrs. Zhuge also knew about her nephew's difficulties, but Zhuge Qiao refused to speak in front of Mrs. Zhuge.

This made Mrs. Zhuge even more dissatisfied with Meng Da for embarrassing Zhuge Qiao.

Seeing Deng Fu humbly asking for help, Mrs. Zhuge didn't make things difficult for Deng Fu. She personally went to invite Kuai Qi's former disciples and former officials as well as famous officials in Fangling City who had been friends with Kuai Qi.

In less than three days, all the food, fodder and boats needed by Liu Feng's army were ready.

Before leaving, Zhuge Qiao made an appointment with Deng Fu: "Prefect Deng, I heard that you and Fan You are old friends?"

Deng Fu was a little afraid of Zhuge Qiao and did not dare to hide it: "Brother Fan and I have known each other for many years and have a deep friendship."

Zhuge Qiao said calmly: "You Fan has made many contributions in Fancheng. I heard that I want to use Fangling to pass by and asked me to send a message to Governor Deng."

Deng Fu was shocked: "Master Qiao, please speak frankly."

Zhuge Qiao said: "Fan You said that as a general, you should put your military merits first and make you a prince. Don't imitate the flattery of the villain and abandon the good to chase the weak."

Deng Fu was horrified, and his back shirt was instantly soaked in cold sweat.

These are not words sent by Fan You at all, this is Zhuge Qiao's attack on Deng Fu in the name of Fan You!

Deng Fu didn't dare to reveal that Zhuge Qiao was already trying to save face for Deng Fu under the guise of Fan You.

"Young Master Qiao's kind words, I will keep them in mind."
