The Three Kingdoms Voyage

Chapter 86
Zhang Cheng tugged on Sun Shao's sleeve worriedly, and said: "Fengxian, be careful in dealing with it, and don't let a moment of impatience miss the important thing."

Sun Shao nodded: "Brother Zhong Si, don't worry."

Guan Ping, who was welcoming him outside the door, had a cold face, looked at Sun Shao with some resentment, and said angrily: "Don't worry, my father and son of the Guan family are upright, and I will definitely not kill you."

Sun Shao was just having a good time, knowing that Guan Ping was humiliated by his tactic yesterday, and he might have been defeated by Guan Yu. It is inevitable that he would be in a bad mood, so he didn't care about him, and bowed: "Thank you, General!" Import."

Guan Ping snorted, but couldn't get angry, so he had to lead Sun Shao into the inner court. Zhang Cheng stretched his neck to look inside, but was stopped by Yin Guan, and said with a smile: "Zhongsi, don't worry, Captain Sun has a piece of paper. A teacher like Gong, even if he is a beginner, he will not go anywhere."

Zhang Cheng smiled and heard the meaning of Yin Guan's words.Guan Yu is a very arrogant person, and usually looks down on these scholar-officials, and of course he would not discuss Confucian classics with them, so although he has read Zuo Chuan Chunqiu for so many years, to be honest, his level of Confucian classics is really not outstanding, Sun Shao Although I have only read the scriptures for two months and only read two volumes, the depth of these two volumes is not comparable to that of Guan Yu.What he was worried about was not the level of Confucian classics, what he was worried about was that Sun Shao lost his temper like yesterday and angered Guan Yu.

"Senior General Guan is a hero, of course he wouldn't embarrass the younger generation." Zhang Cheng laughed loudly on purpose so that Guan Yu in the courtyard could hear him, then pulled Yin Guan's arm and laughed, "Last night, I couldn't drink too much and couldn't have a deep talk with Kong Xiu , Today, taking this opportunity, we might as well discuss the sage's scriptures again, how about?"

Yin Guan nodded with a smile. He knew Zhang Cheng's intentions well, so he didn't say much. He dragged Zhang Cheng to the west wing room, where tea was already prepared, and the two talked in detail.

Sitting high in the hall, Guan Yu watched Sun Shao follow Guan Ping into the door, waved to Zhao Lei who was standing beside him, Zhao Lei got up and went out with his personal guards.Guan Yu stroked his beard, squinted his phoenix eyes, and locked on to Sun Shao, without saying a word, with a powerful aura coming out.

Sun Shao stood with hands folded, but instead of looking at Guan Yu, he looked at Guan Feng who was standing behind Guan Yu.Guan Feng was staring at him, but when he looked at him like this, thinking of what happened last night, he felt a little embarrassed, subconsciously tightened his front, and drooped his eyelids.

Guan Yu was silent for a long time, but seeing that Sun Shao was unmoved, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, but he smiled easily, and he couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.Sun Shao deserved to be the son of Sun Ce, the murderous spirit he had tempered on the battlefield for many years had no effect on him at all.

"Hey, boy, come." Guan Yu snorted, pointed to the seat in front of him, and posed for the seat: "Yu Yu Er Yan."

Sun Shao almost didn't laugh out loud, isn't it just an examination of Confucian classics, is it necessary to be as serious as acting, and even speak in a nonchalant manner?He paused for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "I have heard that General Guan is a hero in the present age, and he is extraordinarily heroic. I didn't expect...hehehe..." As he spoke, he shook his head regretfully.

Guan Yu was also feeling a little uncomfortable, and he was not used to this kind of talk, but he saw that when those scribes wanted to compete for knowledge, they often quoted ancient classics, and they always acted modestly and politely.So although he didn't like this kind of style very much, but in order to get ahead of others, he still imitated it. Unexpectedly, Sun Shao not only didn't like his way, but also sneered, showing a very disapproving look.Guan Yu was a little annoyed, and his blushing face became even redder.

"Zhu Zi, dare to despise Guan Mou?"

Sun Shao ignored him, and sat on the mat by himself, arranging his clothes, until Guan Yu was about to lose his temper, then he sighed and said: "Sun Shao is not talented, I have heard of the general's reputation for a long time, and I wish I could see it in person." Respect the face. The general insulted me as the envoy of Jiangdong. As a child of the Sun family, Shao couldn't bear his anger, so he boldly came to pick the general's tiger beard. Yesterday I fought with Ling Ai, and I realized that although my son of the Sun family is not a dog, but the general's She is a girl, but she has the style of a general, and she is a veritable general's tiger girl."

Thousands of wears and thousands of wears, flattery does not wear.After hearing Sun Shao's words, Guan Yu's tense face immediately eased a lot. He turned his head and glanced proudly at the daughter behind him, and nodded slightly: "You are not bad, you are so young. Calling out in front of the gate is admirable courage."

Sun Shao poked his nose up and said with a smile: "Thank you for your praise, General. Sun Shao's talent is stupid, and he is not worth mentioning among Jiangdong's children, so please take back the title of General as a dog."

Guan Yu was startled, his face sank again, and he snorted unhappily.In fact, this matter was a misunderstanding, the original words he said were "My daughter should marry a son of authority", unexpectedly Xu Xiang was forced by his power at that time, panicked, and misheard it as "How can a tiger daughter marry a dog son" (* ), but how could he explain such a thing?What's more, now Sun Shao came to the door because of this sentence, not only defeated Guan Feng, but also competed with him in knowledge, insisting on forcing him to take back this sentence.Even though he admired Sun Shao's courage, how could he take it back.It's just that Sun Shao defeated his son and daughter. If he is a dog, then what are Guan Ping and Guan Feng?
Guan Yu was depressed and speechless.

Guan Feng also felt that Sun Shao's request was not too much. It's normal for people to fight with their lives for fame these days, not to mention that his father scolded all Jiangdong's children, and it was only natural for them to come to save face, but he also knew his father's temper. Even if it was a misunderstanding, he would never explain it. Even if she wanted to explain it, Guan Yu would probably not allow it.She thought for a while, and bowed her body to salute: "Sun Jun misunderstood. The dog son my father said was not referring to Sun Jun. Even if Sun Jun won, it can't be said that my father was wrong. If it was Mr. Deng who came, he would If he can be as talented in literature and martial arts as Sun Jun, then Guan Feng will apologize on behalf of his father."

Sun Shao rolled his eyes and was speechless.Although Guan Feng was a bit cunning, he made sense.He thought for a while and said with a smile: "The girl is eloquent and has the ability to brag about life, Sun Shao admires it."

"Humph!" Guan Yu breathed a sigh of relief, secretly proud of his daughter's quick wit, but also dissatisfied with Sun Shao's eyes always wandering on her body, tapped his fingers on the table, reminding Sun Shao to get to the point: "I heard that you also learned from Zuo Chuan Chunqiu. ?”

"Exactly." Sun Shao quickly looked away from Guan Feng's pretty face, and said with a smile, "Actually, I learned from Zuo Chuan Chunqiu, and I have some relationship with the general."

"Oh?" Guan Yu was puzzled, what kind of scriptures you study has anything to do with me.

"Shao is not talented. He has always regarded the general as a role model. He heard that the general read Zuo Chuan Chunqiu, so he tried every means to get into Zhang Gong's family." Sun Shao's mouth was as sweet as honey, and he was very flattered, but he said it very Sincerity, people can not arouse doubts.Guan Yu has always been arrogant, and he likes people to worship him. Now that a super fan came, of course he wanted it, and he smiled happily. Although Guan Feng could hear the tricks, he didn't point it out.

"Although Shao's nature is bad and he was a late learner, he heard a saying from a sage that his husband died of illness and was not well-known." Sun Shao said with eyebrows dancing, and inadvertently brought the topic to what he really wanted to say . "The general is well-versed in the spring and Autumn period, and the martial arts crown is in the world. He is a man of integrity, but his achievements are not obvious. This is to give the general a chance to make contributions in the past."

Guan Yu stroked his beard and remained silent.Yesterday, Yin Guan and Pan Jun had already explained to him the stakes of this marriage, and now that he was being praised by Sun Shao, he felt that he should agree to this marriage, otherwise, what achievements would he have as a hero in the world? ?Thinking about it carefully, it seems that I have lost a lot of battles in this life, and I have credit for it but nothing.After hearing that Zhang Liao defeated Sun Quan in Hefei last year, he was very regretful. He was slightly better than Zhang Liao back then, but his achievements now are far behind Zhang Liao.

Seeing that Guan Yu was silent, Sun Shao knew that he had successfully aroused Guan Yu's desire for fame and fortune, so he didn't need to talk anymore, and immediately changed the subject: "Shao Xue is young, and I am quite puzzled. .”

"Don't dare to give advice, let's discuss it together." Guan Yu had unknowingly given up the idea of ​​competing with Sun Shao, and was as kind as he was with his own daughter.

"Zhong Si, Captain Sun is quite capable." Yin Guan gently put down the teacup in his hand, glanced at the direction of the inner court and said with a smile: "The envoy who can talk to General Guan for so long without being kicked out, he Be the first."

Zhang Cheng glanced at Yin Guan, and pondered for a moment: "Then Kong Xiu thinks that this marriage can be done?"

Yin Guan smiled, stretched out his hand and turned it over: "Success and failure are all in the hands of Zhong Si."

Zhang Cheng rolled his eyes and didn't speak, as if he was a little embarrassed.Yin Guan didn't speak, just listened to the inner court's voice with a smile on the corner of his mouth.Not only did Guan Yu's usual roars not be heard in the inner court, but loud laughter was heard instead. It seemed that the guests and hosts had a good time and the situation was developing for the better.He glanced at Zhang Cheng, a little puzzled, logically speaking, the marriage is hopeful, Zhang Cheng, as an envoy, should be happy, why is he so embarrassed?Could it be that he was worried that Sun Shao, the deputy envoy, would persuade Guan Yu, which would be detrimental to him as the envoy?

*Note: Guan Yu’s slip of the tongue statement comes from book friend Situ Qianzhong, thank you here.The little carpenter said, it can't be true, the ancient pronunciation is different from the current pronunciation, so let's not pursue it.In addition, it is unnecessary to be serious, Lao Zhuang is not interested in arguing about this matter.
