Chapter 68 The knife in the hand, the Tao in the heart

Mi Fang got off the carriage and immediately walked to Guan Lin and said humbly.

"I am Mi Fang, and you are Guan Gong's fourth son? Mr. Yun Qi, right?"

Mi Fang used "I" instead of "my official". Such a title was extremely modest.

Mi Guang on the side was wondering if Mi Fang would also praise Mr. Guan Lin so much that he would be so enchanted by such a prodigal... ah no, such a "God of Wealth".

Of course, the more important thing is that Mr. Guan Lin must not lose his confidence in "gambling" because of this failure.

The more you get frustrated, the more courage you get, the more you lose, the more you lose!

With this thought in his mind, Mi Guang also took a step closer and listened to the conversation between the two with great interest.

Guan Lin looked at Mi Fang. With his piercing eyes, the extremely flamboyant mustache on his mouth, and the slicked-up goatee, he could be regarded as a handsome middle-aged man if it were not for being too fat.

Overall, he looks very complicated, shrewd yet dull, dull yet honest, and honest yet cunning.

In addition, the emerald green and valuable jade pendant around his waist is extremely eye-catching.

Bet?

What is hidden in the middle?

Just then.

Plus, there are differences between men and women... How does he understand this?

Guan Ping, Guan Yinping, and Guan Suo were also stunned.

This is... a boast!

Mi Guang, on the other hand, opened his eyes wide.

The bookmaker bets like this...

Well…

He pursed his lips and murmured: "Hefei, Soochow lost, fourth brother... fourth brother's answer sheet was not nonsense!"

"So, my Qinglong Sword... will come back, right? Really?"

The elder of the Mi clan is today...are you stupid? Are you fainting?

Seemingly sensing Guan Xing's mood, Guan Ping advised: "Second brother, my father just said it casually, don't take it to heart."

yes…

Most likely, as the prefect, Mi Fang got some information in advance and knew the results of the battle in Hefei City, so he came to "remediate" it!

At this point, Mi Fang turned around and faced a group of gamblers and common people, and threatened: "Today, I will ask all the neighbors to testify that I, Mi Fang, will return all the heavy bets made by Master Yunqi without taking a penny, regardless of the outcome of the Hefei battle.

, let’s let this matter go, this will not only protect the friendship between the Mi and Guan families, but also avoid the embarrassment of Master Yunqi when Guan Gong returns from the banquet, the best of both worlds!”

Hesitant and confused, he stamped his feet again...

Does the father still have justice in his heart?

Looking at his father's leaving figure, Guan Xing was the most surprised. He was stunned.

With this in mind, Mi Guang approached Mi Fang and was about to remind her.

"That's not all..." Guan Ping nodded heavily and said with emotion: "Uncle Zhou mentioned just now that my father was able to escape unharmed when he went to the meeting alone, and the fourth brother also contributed a lot... In this way..."

You know, in the Guan family's precepts and deeds, stealing is a very serious behavior.

He frowned, glanced at Guan Lin, and lowered his voice and said, "I heard that in the battle at Hefei, the Fourth Young Master took 9,000 hu of grain, which was all for the defeat of Soochow! Is this the case?"

Guan Lin looked unconcerned.

Guan Yinping also couldn't figure out why his father was so tolerant to his fourth brother this time! But he was so harsh to his second brother...?

Speaking of this, Zhou Cang paused for a moment, then raised his head and looked up at the sky, "Don't blame your father for punishing you. Only your fourth brother was able to predict the outcome of this battle accurately and correctly!"

There is no reason why the cooked duck should be released!

Therefore, it soon attracted many gamblers and people coming and going to watch.

"It's more than just one Qinglong Sword." Guan Yinping opened her white teeth lightly, "This time... the fourth brother won more than a thousand Qinglong Swords!"

"He calculated it accurately... he calculated it accurately..."

In fact, looking at Mi Fang's expression and behavior, Guan Lin had already guessed something.

Never thought.

Even a "wealthy" family like the Mi family that has emerged in Jingzhou cannot afford to lose everything!

"When Guan Gong comes back this time, he will definitely look good!"

This surprise and shock seemed to penetrate from above and hit Guan Xing hard on the head.

"In this regard, you can learn more from your fourth brother! He is much smarter than you see!"

Before Mi Fang could finish speaking, Guan Lin interrupted: "Chief Mi, this...he just said it."

Gambling houses are like this, and no "fat sheep" can be discouraged.

…

Guan Yinping and Guan Suo looked at Guan Xing, and for a moment they didn't know whether they should comfort him or not.

He looked at Guan Lin longingly and muttered in his heart.

If you turn it over eleven times, what a huge number it will be?

In the past, if something like this happened, my father would definitely be furious, directing all his anger at the "fourth brother", and even resorting to "family methods!"

Guan Xing shook his head, his voice was shrill... his tone was full of infinite sorrow, as if facing the injustice of fate, he could only vent it all with a roar.

However, no one expected that in the face of such a good thing, Guan Lin's answer was only three words:

——"Why?"

"Ah..." Guan Xing was startled.

For a moment, Guan Xing gritted his teeth and stomped his feet heavily.

Guan Lin gestured to leave, but Mi Fang grabbed his arm.

Of course, this is a record from the frontier. The Central Plains region was divided among itself, and it also experienced Dong Zhuo's cunning operation of casting small coins, which caused the "Han coins" to fall into a state of complete collapse.

——"How can I let you go? If you leave, the Mi family will be doomed!"

He was just too angry to tell the matter.

Even if you take ten thousand steps back, as a younger brother, you shouldn't give this to your older sister, right?

With a "gu dong" sound, Guan Xing swallowed, and he could no longer suppress the throbbing in his heart.

"I heard that this time, when Guan Gong went to Chibi for a banquet, this guy sold off all the valuable things in Guan Gong's mansion and took them to a gambling house!"

Guan Suo quickly reminded: "I remember, if Soochow loses in the gambling house, then... it can be doubled eleven times! In other words, the ones pawned by the fourth brother..."

Many people also praised him.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but subconsciously clenched the package slung across her body.

Seemingly seeing that Guan Lin didn't speak, Mi Fang started to laugh more and more, "The wind in the river has been cold recently, which has caused a chill in Jiangling City. Why don't you and I come inside and have a good chat?"

This time…

As a prefect of a county, with such status, Mi Fang seemed a little too polite to Guan Lin's tone.

Because the two of them were talking at the entrance of the gambling house.

Is this fair?

only…

Are you crazy? Is the second patriarch crazy?

Today's father is indeed a little weird.

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

"Speaking of which, Governor Mi is so eager and attentive. What's there to talk about with a 'traitor'?"

You know, from childhood to adulthood, Guan Xing was adept at martial arts and always strived to be the first, and he never let his father down.

"Master Zhou...Master Zhou!" Guan Xing looked up at Zhou Cang full of grievance.

"Fourth Young Master is joking..." Mi Fang smiled with a smile on her face, but she was extremely melancholy in her heart. He continued with a smile: "Fourth Young Master, your father and I are both the meritorious deeds of Uncle Liu Huang. Your father started from the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

I followed Uncle Liu Huang, and I have followed him since Xuzhou... I remember that in the first year of Jian'an, Uncle Liu was defeated and retreated to Guangling... At that time, Uncle Liu was in trouble both internally and externally..."

"Brother..." After hearing Guan Ping's words, Guan Xing seemed to have caught something in the darkness. He asked repeatedly: "Brother, do you think your father is fair? Is it fair? Why is it me who is scolding... Why?

"

When it is hot, no matter how you calculate it, nine thousand hu of grain is not a small number. It is enough to cover the expenses of an army of 10,000 people for half a month.

However, Guan Ping, Guan Xing, Guan Yinping, and Guan Suo were left behind. They were like wooden figures, standing blankly at the ferry, with a blank look in their eyes.
