When Ji Han and his men traveled to the Three Kingdoms crew

Chapter 558 Fa Zheng Ma Chao Ma Dai: What? Lu Meng? I can't stand it.

After Guan Yu said this, he no longer paid much attention to Lu Meng and punished him as he should. Repairing the city walls, digging canals, and building houses were all heavy physical tasks. After finishing these, they still had to cultivate the land.

Guan Yu and Xu Shu did not let them just do corvée labor. Xu Shu had many years of experience as an official in Jingzhou and the General's Mansion, and had seen Jia Xu's operations in Jizhou. He was naturally adept at handling these matters, and he passed on the orders to the veterans in the army through Guan Yu.

These old soldiers were all former subordinates of Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in Youzhou. Due to old injuries, they were not suitable for fighting on the front line.

In order to take care of these old soldiers, Guan Yu let them retire to the second line and train them in civilian positions such as chief clerks and grain officers. In the process of training, the literary talent of these old soldiers gradually increased, not only meeting the requirements of chief clerks, but also because of their humble origins but rich experience, many of them were surprisingly suitable for engaging in ideological and educational work for soldiers.

If he could provide ideological and educational work to soldiers, he would naturally be suitable for providing ideological and educational work to prisoners.

Just like how Jia Xu educated Ju Su, Yan Xiang and others.

Faced with Xu Shu's request, Guan Yu agreed without thinking twice. What a joke, who would doubt Military Advisor Xu?

If Lu Meng fails to change in the future? That must be Lu Meng's own problem!

As long as they work hard to change, opportunities are right in front of them.

As for the difficulty of studying after serving a day in the military,
Guan Yu had never considered this question. How many people in the Han Dynasty could afford to read books? If you want to change, you have to show your attitude. If you give up easily in the face of fatigue, who would believe that such a person can change?

If this is true, Guan Yu will only look down on Lu Meng.

"In this case, wouldn't 'Sun Quan encourages learning' become 'Mi Zhu encourages learning'?"

Liu Bei woke up slowly and couldn't help laughing. When he went to the fairyland last night, several brothers reported to him the latest situation of Qingzhou, Yangzhou, Jizhou, Yuzhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou and Liangzhou. Among them, since the new Yuzhou governor Chen Deng was unable to go to the fairyland, the younger sister of the Mi family took over the report.

Except for Jiaozhou and Liaodong, the rest were not too far from Chang'an. Although there was a delay in transmitting messages by fast horses and navy, it was still within an acceptable range.

Apart from the incident of 'Mi Zhu's persuasion to study', what surprised him was that the new wise minister who appeared in the crew was actually his sixteen-year-old adopted son - Guan Ping Guan Tanzhi.

"Ping'er, you finally woke up!"

In the General's residence, Ma Chao and Ma Dai saw Guan Ping slowly waking up, and they finally felt relieved. They both forced bright smiles on their faces.

"Uncle Chao, Uncle Dai..." Guan Ping wanted to get up, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, Ma Chao hurriedly held his arm and carefully helped him up.

Guan Ping said helplessly: "Uncle Ma, I am sixteen years old. I am no longer a child."

Ma Dai raised his eyebrows, "What are you talking about! No matter how old you are, you are the adopted son I have been waiting for in this life. It is only natural for an uncle to take care of an adopted son!"

Guan Ping felt warm in his chest, but he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

Fa Zheng, Ma Chao and Ma Dai would be fine, after all, these three are two years older than him.

but.
Guan Ping looked around and found several figures standing in front of the door, including Fa Zheng, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Huang Xu, Liu Xie, Liao Hua, and Huo Jun.
Even Liu Ba, who always said "Cao Gong, Cao Gong", was present, and everyone present showed an expression of relief.

There were at least five uncles present, especially Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and Huang Xu. These three uncles were younger than him.
He understood the principle of learning from the wise, and was also aware of Zhuge Liang's extraordinary talents.

He often told himself, be honest, be honest, your uncle was nearly fifty years old before he invited Mr. Wolong to come out. You are taking a great advantage by calling Mr. Wolong your uncle!
But it would inevitably feel a bit uncomfortable for Guan Ping to call Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and Huang Xu uncles.

Fortunately, Zhuge Liang never forced it. Pang Tong even praised his performance, saying, "Right! You and I are classmates and should call each other by our courtesy names! Tanzhi is indeed the eldest son that General Guan is proud of. He is really generous!" Huang Xu said, "Brother is right!"

"Brother Dai, Ping'er just woke up, don't be so loud!"

Ma Chao's voice brought Guan Ping back to the present. Guan Ping saw Ma Dai grinning at Ma Chao and said, "Brother, I am just concerned about Ping'er."

Guan Ping chimed in: "Uncle Chao, Uncle Dai also cares about me."

"Hey." Ma Dai came up to Guan Ping and said, "Since Ping'er said so, can you tell me first, did Ping'er go to the fairyland?"

"Yes, it is indeed a fairyland. Uncle Dai, how did you know about this?"

"Hehe, of course it was second brother and Mr. Wolong and Fengchu who deduced it!" Ma Dai puffed out his chest proudly. People who didn't know might think he was talking about some glorious past.

Ma Chao shook his head helplessly, while Guan Ping showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

Ma Dai asked again: "Is there anything interesting in that fairyland?"

"Interesting things?" Guan Ping was slightly startled. Speaking of interesting things, there are many, such as a car that can run without a horse, sweet water in an iron can, and a colorful world in a box.
I'm afraid even if I count on my fingers for three days and three nights I still can't finish.
Ma Chao reminded: "It doesn't have to be something fun, it's better to be something that is closely related to us."

"Intimately related." Guan Ping muttered. After Ma Chao reminded him, all the magical items in his mind, like cracked glass, shattered in an instant with a "snap". Transformed into two names, just thinking of that name ignited anger in Guan Ping's eyes, causing him to clench his fists, which made a crackling sound.

Ma Chao and Ma Dai looked at each other, and saw a hint of surprise on each other's faces.

You have to know that Guan Ping has been studying with Zhao Yun since he was a child, and he was separated from Zhao Yun during the years when he was in Jingzhou. This made Guan Ping learn the character of humility and courtesy from Zhao Yun. They have never seen Guan Ping so angry.

Ma Dai couldn't help but whisper, "Brother, if Pang Hui dared to provoke Ping'er at this moment, perhaps the history books would record it like this: Guan Ping was furious, thrust his spear and galloped his horse to attack Pang Hui. Pang Hui picked up the flying fork and rode to meet him. The two horses met, and after four or five rounds, Ping thrust his spear and stabbed the horse!"

"That makes sense." Ma Chao, who had been nodding subconsciously, suddenly reacted and slapped Ma Dai on the forehead. He angrily said, "What time is it?! Are you still playing tricks?! Ping'er's matter is the most important thing!"

"My brother is right, my brother is right." Ma Dai nodded his head like pounding garlic.

Ma Chao hurriedly asked, "Ping'er, what happened? If someone bullies you, your uncle will support you!"

"Uncle." Guan Ping, sensing Ma Chao's concern, broke free from his anger. He took a deep breath and said the name that made Ma Chao and Ma Dai change color, "Lü Meng. Sun Quan, I know where Lü Meng is."

吕蒙
Sun Quan
Ma Chao and Ma Dai clenched their fists just by hearing these two names. Anger spread wildly in their hearts. At this moment, they wanted to give these two people a few punches! How dare they stab Ping'er and General Guan in the back! Nai Gong will definitely teach Lu and Sun a lesson!
"Generals, how is Tan Zhi? Your Highness has been waiting for a long time."

Just as Ma Chao and Ma Dai were preparing to raise their fists to teach Lu Meng and Sun Quan a lesson, Fa Zheng's voice happened to sound behind them.

The anger that had just surged into their heads instantly cooled down, and Ma Chao and Ma Dai realized, oh no, the Crown Prince is here!

They still remembered Fa Zheng's instructions that Liu Xie was a man of temperament. If Liu Xie knew about the affairs of Lu Meng and Sun Quan, he might instigate the emperor to issue an edict to kill Sun Quan and Lu Meng.

To be fair, if it happened a few years ago, the two of them might have applauded and cheered.

But now General Guan has not killed Lu Meng and Sun Quan. If Your Majesty issues an edict to kill Sun Quan and Lu Meng, wouldn’t that be bad?
Ma Chao and Ma Dai looked at each other, saw the concerns on each other's faces, and quickly reached a consensus.

So Ma Dai said to Fa Zheng and the others, "Brother, it's okay. Tan Zhi is fine."

As the words fell, Fa Zheng looked at Liu Xie, and Liu Xie breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that you're okay, it's good that you're okay, brother, it's good that you're okay."

"You heard it, Your Highness. Let's go back to the palace first. I will take good care of Tanzhi."

"I feel relieved with Uncle Fa's words." Liu Xie looked at Fa Zheng, then at Ma Chao and Ma Dai and emphasized: "If you have any questions, remember to come to the palace to find me!"

Liao Hua, Liu Ba, Huo Jun and others said in unison: "We will go and see His Highness off."

Looking at the direction where the few people left, Zhuge Liang took a step forward and was about to leave. Under Pang Tong's constant urging, Huang Xu hurriedly followed.

After leaving the General's Mansion, Huang Xu asked in confusion: "Prime Minister, elder brother. From the look of Tanzhi, I think he must have known some enemy in the fairyland. According to the second brother's temperament, he will definitely torture that person severely. Why don't we persuade the second brother? If the Prime Minister persuades him, I think the second brother will not be obsessed with revenge, right?" Zhuge Liang stopped and sighed: "Xiaozhi and the Ma brothers have a sincere relationship. Although they are not brothers, they are better than brothers. They regard Tanzhi as their adopted son. If the adopted son is bullied, how can the uncle not vent his anger for the adopted son? If it were me, I couldn't just let it go. In this case, why force Xiaozhi? Besides, I believe in Xiaozhi, and Xiaozhi will know his limits."

"Fifth brother, see, this is the Prime Minister's demeanor. You need to learn from him." Pang Tong patted Huang Xu's shoulder.

Zhuge Liang smiled somewhat embarrassedly, "Shiyuan, thank you for your compliment."

"See, this is humility!" Pang Tong's eyes lit up and he hurriedly urged: "Quick, quick, take a pen and paper and write it down!"

Huang Xu actually reached into his sleeves and said, "Brother, there is no paper or pen!"

Pang Tong urged, "It's in Tanzhi's room, hurry back home, hurry back home!"

"Okay!" Huang Xu turned around and ran away.

Zhuge Liang:
Shi Yuan, you don't have to do this if you want Huang Xu to relay my words, right?
"Fifth brother? What did the Prime Minister say?"

Huang Xu had never expected that he would be caught and questioned by Fa Zheng just as he was picking up paper and pen.

Facing Fa Zheng's question, Huang Xu naturally did not hide anything. After all, neither Zhuge Liang nor Pang Tong said they would keep their mouths shut, so why would he hide it from Fa Zheng? Fa Zheng was his second brother!
"Is that so?" Fa Zheng nodded, stuffed the paper, ink, brush and inkstone into Huang Xu's arms, and instructed: "Tell Mr. Wolong and Mr. Fengchu, I understand, don't worry, there will be no problem."

???

Huang Xu was full of question marks, not knowing what it meant.

He couldn't figure it out, so he simply didn't bother to think about it. He promised, "Don't worry, second brother. I will definitely tell you and the prime minister!"

As soon as Huang Xu left, Ma Chao walked up to Fa Zheng and asked in confusion, "Minister, what did my fifth brother tell you?"

"Wolong is calling me." Fa Zheng sighed.

Ma Chao: “Ah?”

Fa Zheng glanced at Ma Chao and repeated what Zhuge Liang had just said, "Since Mr. Wolong said so, Lu Meng is lucky."

Ma Chao immediately became anxious, "Minister, are we not going to avenge Ping'er?!"

".When did I say I won't avenge Tan Zhi? No matter what, I'll beat him up first."

"This"

Ma Chao scratched his head, as if Fa Zheng really didn't say anything.
"Shangshu Ling, when shall we set out?"

"Have you found out Sun Quan's location?"

"No, Dai only found out the location of that fellow Lu Meng."

"Then let's deal with Lu Meng first. Sun Quan has a long way to go."

"How to deal with it?"

"Tomorrow when I come of age, I will ask my lord to let me serve in the prefecture of Xu Junshi."

"Then my two brothers and I will go together with the Shangshu Ling!"

"it is good!"

The next day.

Liu Bei specially took time out to hold a coming-of-age ceremony for Fa Zheng. Even though Fa Zheng's father Fa Yan had made some preparations, he was still surprised. You know, the visiting cards received yesterday almost filled up the house.

All the important figures in the court can be met in his house today!
Even the emperor sent people to congratulate him.

Although it seems to be a glorious life, Fa Yan understands that both feelings and interests are two-way.

Looking at Fa Zheng who was surrounded by the crowd, Fa Yan recalled what had happened in the past few years and couldn't help thinking: My son, you already have the appearance of Kunpeng!
The guests also said all kinds of good things. Who doesn't know the relationship between Fa Zheng and Liu Xie? With their relationship, Fa Zheng might have been able to become a minister directly!
If you don't fawn on us now, when will you?!
However, Fa Zheng's request to Liu Bei surprised all the guests. Fa Zheng actually said, "General, I want to serve as an official in Qingzhou Prefecture."

What surprised them even more was that not only did Liu Bei agree with a smile, but his father Fa Yan also fully supported Fa Zheng.

No, how can a mere county official compare to an official in the imperial court? !

Qingzhou, plain.

Guan Yu and Xu Shu led the provincial officials out of the city a hundred miles to welcome Fa Zheng, but what they didn't know was that Ma Chao and Ma Dai, who had obtained the talisman with the help of Liu Xie, sneaked into Pingyuan's cell while everyone was not paying attention.

He took advantage of the jailer's unpreparedness and knocked him out with a punch, and successfully took the key from him.

According to the information Fa Zheng had gathered, today was the day for the prisoners to have a rest.

As for Lu Meng's appearance, they had also found out clearly when they arrived.

Ma Chao and Ma Dai searched for Lu Meng in the cell, and soon they found a man whose appearance and age matched Lu Meng.

It’s just that the man looked strange no matter how they looked at him. He kept reciting and mumbling to himself, which made the two brothers confused.

Ma Dai lowered his voice and asked, "Brother, is this man Lu Meng? I don't think he is!"

"Whether it's true or not, we'll know if we give it a try." Ma Chao walked to the cell and whispered to the person inside, "Is this hero Lu Meng of Runan?"

"Huh? Who are you?" The man stopped muttering and raised his head to look at Ma Chao in confusion.

Ma Chao looked at the other person's somewhat dark face and could not connect Lu Meng, who was crossing the river in white clothes, with the person in front of him.

But since you're here, you must find out the truth, right?

"We were asked by others to rescue you!" Ma Chao lied without hesitation.

The man panicked, "No, no, leave! I'm fine here!"

"Oh? So you admit that you are Lu Meng?"

Lu Meng just thought this person was strange. What did he mean by admitting that he was Lu Meng? He had never denied anyone!
Lü Meng was puzzled and asked, "I am Lü Meng, what's the problem?"

However, this time Lu Meng did not get a response from Ma Chao. Ma Chao just laughed and shouted to Ma Dai, "Brother Dai, open the door and beat up Lu the thief!"

"I have received your order!" Ma Dai shouted excitedly.
Lu Meng's face changed instantly. Oh no, these two people are coming for me! When did I offend these two people? !
"Wait, don't hit me in the face! Ouch!"
