Zhang Fei met Guan Lin early in the morning and then handed his daughter to the brat, he rushed to the outskirts of Xicheng.
According to Kong Ming's instructions, he still wants to come to see the military advisor's "father-in-law".
After all, he came to Jingzhou with two tasks.
First, investigate Hong Qigong's true identity.
Second, find a good doctor and explain the law and the law to the patient who is filial and upright!
Can…
What surprised Zhang Fei was a little surprised.
As soon as I left the Xicheng Gate, I saw... many villages in the suburbs of the city were holding funerals, and cried endlessly.
Of course, it is not surprising to hold a funeral.
October is about to enter.
In ancient times, October was a very dangerous season for the elderly. It was easy to freeze and die of illness because of thin clothes.
Even in the Han Dynasty, if the results of summer and autumn harvest were not ideal, then for an ordinary family, if the elderly at home die of illness in winter, they are likely to have no money to hold a funeral.
Because of the Little Ice Age, the cold came earlier and colder, so... Before October, some poor elderly people had been sent away.
Zhang Fei couldn't help but look over.
Poor...
I just think these farmers are too poor.
How can one wear thin clothes survive the whole winter?
But even if it's poor...
Even if you are wearing thin clothes.
But in the coffin, the deceased were still wearing thick and gorgeous clothes.
The body was also cleaned, and things were placed in the mouth and hands. This shows that the Han Dynasty's "governing the world with filial piety" can be seen.
According to custom, Zi, Mao, Si, You, Xu, these days, male deceased can be buried;
Wu, Wei, Shen, Chou, Hai, Chen, these days are the dead who are buried.
The location is often high in the hometown or next to the mountain.
Looking at these scenes, Zhang Fei's mood couldn't help but sigh.
Yet...
The more he walked westward, he found that there were almost no funerals here.
In this village... from door to door, some are making jerky meat, some are making wine with koji made in July, and some are pickling vegetables. You can even see that the people are wearing big jackets, and they are busy and prosperous. scene.
Zhang Fei thought, it was just two miles apart, is the gap so big?
Zhang Fei couldn't help asking an old man.
"Old man? What's going on? Why are you so poor that you're so thin that your clothes are as thin as the wings of a fly, but you're rich and wearing thick jackets, and you're still making bacon?"
The villagers were simple and could blurt out Zhang Fei's words.
The old man replied, "I'm going to tell you, a few months ago, our village was the same as the next village, but now it's different... Mr. Huang's 'Mianshui Villa' poured in for some reason. Two thousand people... so many people have to eat and live... So, we have to make a living in our village! We are not supported by our village? Mr. Huang is generous and never stops us. Every household is There will be surplus food.”
The old man said this...
A middle-aged man with a half-pig happened to pass by and couldn't help but add, "It's not just that, I heard that Mianshui Villa is also full of refugees and beggars... Mr. Huang is kind and righteous, not just to support him. In our village, he also supported the beggars. Recently, Mr. Huang has recruited many people! The strong and poor village next door all came to join us. !”
The middle-aged man waved his hand, "Not anyone can go there. Mr. Huang is strictly checking it. Either the three generations of ancestors are in our local area, or they are in the Central Plains turmoil and escaped. But one of the tribes is
Dongwu, those who are officials in the north or those who have committed crimes... don't want them all?"
"How did he know that there are people in your family in the north? They are officials in the east? How did he know that you have committed crimes?"
Zhang Fei blinked his eyes repeatedly, he was so curious.
"Oh..." This time it was the old man who explained, "It's all from a village, who doesn't know anyone? If there is really someone who doesn't know anyone, then Mr. Huang is not willing to use it!"
--Hey!
Zhang Fei's eyes must be, and he muttered in his heart that this "Mianshui" villa is a bit interesting.
etc…
After a long brain circuit, Zhang Fei came back to the smell.
——『Dispossessed, beggar?
——"Then Mr. Hong Qi, didn't he build a Beggars' Sect? Beggars' Sect... Beggars' Sect? Could it be that a group of beggars gathered together?"
Thinking of this, Zhang Fei immediately asked.
"Do you know who is Hong Qigong?"
The old man and the middle-aged man looked at each other and shook his head.
However, the middle-aged man reminded. "Hong Qigong is so powerful. If you use a little trick, you can defeat Dongwu. Jiangling City... Everyone mentioned that this Hong Qigong is a dragon that is not seen.
How can we know...Who is Hong Qigong? But..."
Zhang Fei was about to sigh, but suddenly he felt a "but" and made him feel energetic again.
He quickly took out a big bag of money from his arms and grabbed a handful of the two people in front of him, "I won't let you talk for nothing, tell me everything you know!"
this…
The old man and the middle-aged man looked at each other. The old man put away his money and said truthfully: "Actually, there is nothing that cannot be said. Everyone in the village is saying it."
"What did you say?" Zhang Fei was so anxious. Damn, can you, old man, stop going around the corner?
The old man said slowly: "Hong Qigong, although we don't know who it is,... the 'Huang Lao Xie' that has always been mentioned in the market recently... we guess..."
The old man kept his slowness as usual, but the middle-aged man said first: "The villagers guessed that 'Huang Laoxie' is Mr. Huang from the Mianshui villa... Think about it, his surname is Huang, now
...There have been recruited so many people, and the artifact and weapons that have been circulating so much. Who else can be there except Mr. Huang who has this ability?"
hehe…
Zhang Fei was happy. He had already thought about the identity of "Huang Lao Xie".
But, there is no direct evidence.
But now...
Zhang Fei's eyes must be.
It’s not bad. It’s a surprise that I didn’t find Hong Qigong.
Thinking of this...
Suddenly the gate of Mianshui Villa opened.
Zhang Fei noticed that at the gate, an old man wearing a leather jacket and riding a donkey, and a wine gourd hanging around his waist, was walking leisurely towards the villa. He swayed the wine gourd from time to time, as if he was his mouth.
I was greedy and came out to ask the villagers for wine.
While walking, he was still chanting a poem.
——"A night of the north wind is cold, and the red clouds are thin; the wind and catkins in the sky are floating, changing the old country."
——"When I look up at Taixu, I think it is a jade dragon fighting; I am about to fly the armor of the turtle, and I will be everywhere in the universe in the future. I ride a donkey to ask for wine, and sigh alone that the plum blossoms are thin."
This poem seems to be predicting...
Heavy snow is coming.
Hearing this, Zhang Fei could not calm down. He stretched out his arms and ran towards Huang Chengyan with his legs crossed. He looked like a fifty-year-old child, running while shouting.
"Old Huang, Lao Huang..."
"I finally found it. It turns out that you are that Huang Laoxie!"
In Zhang Fei's opinion.
It doesn’t matter if you can’t find Hong Qigong… It’s enough to find Huang Laoxie to explain to Zhuge Kongming.
…
…
It was only one night that the weather suddenly became colder.
The air is dry and makes people's faces crack very much. This is a sign that the "dry season" is coming.
After saying goodbye to Yang Yi, Guan Yu did not return to Jiangling City directly, but rushed to the camp where the Guan family army was stationed to handle some military affairs.
Ma Liang also came over to give advice for Guan Yu.
Guan Ping was the goalkeeper of Ya and was waiting for the order under Guan Yu's tent.
Guan Xing, Guan Yinping, and Guan Suo should not have been here as the head of the village.
But because of their special identities, their seats are left in the big tent.
"When the armed fight was discovered in Changsha County and the armed forces were seized, the prefect Liao Li made a quick decision, which was a great achievement, but General Liu Pan made great contributions to the attack of thousands of miles, and he should be rewarded!"
Ma Liang is reporting at this moment.
Just now, what he and Guan Gong were talking about was that there was a large-scale armed battle in the stone cave of Guanshan, Changsha County, and the Changsha County Magistrate finally seized the armed forces.
During this period, because of Guan Yu and Ma Liang's attention, Liu Pan had been appointed in advance to rush to remind Changsha County Governor Liao Li.
Work hard and rushing day and night.
Liu Pan should indeed be rewarded.
Of course, how can we avoid this brat, Guan Lin?
At this moment, Guan Yu was angry with Guan Lin, and he just nodded, "General Liu Pan is Liu Jingsheng's follower, and he is loyal to his elder brother. The reward is not easy to be too light, and Ji Chang needs to consider it carefully."
"Here!" Ma Liang took the order.
certainly…
In this incident, there was actually a small episode. According to the urgent report, when Liu Pan delivered Guan Gong’s handwritten book to Changsha County, there was a magic note in the handwritten book.
The above content - "At noon tomorrow, there will be surprises in the stone cave at the foot of the Guanshan Mountain. The prefect must bring his troops here. There should be gains. Don't be early, and don't be late!"
If these magical words of this note did not cause too much sensation at that time.
But... the signature on the note is inevitably confusing.
Because this signature is exactly - Hong Qigong!
In the urgent documents sent back, Liao Li and Liu Pan also asked Guan Yu whether "Hong Qigong" handed the note to Guan Gong?
But in fact, how could Guan Yu know any notes?
I don't know what's on this note.
It is because of this article that Guan Yu and Ma Liang can draw several new conclusions on the clues about "Hong Qigong".
First, Huang Laoxie and Hong Qigong are definitely not the same person.
But it is very likely that both of them know each other;
Second, if Huang Laoxie is Huang Chengyan, then... Hong Qigong is mostly about the same age as him and has a close relationship!
This can be judged by the name "old man" by the Beggar Gang disciples.
In this case...
Then there is a possibility that "Hong Qigong" is Sima Hui, a Shuijing-Mingjing-King-Yan, a famous scholar in Miannan, or Pang Degong who lives in seclusion in Lumen Mountain!
Of course, the former is more likely.
Because the latter, Pang Shanmin, the son of Pang Degong, was the one who married Zhuge Liang's second sister, and is now the "Minister of Personnel" of Cao Wei!
Considering Pang Shanmin's identity, Pang Degong, who was a father, seemed to have not come out of the mountain and went to help Guan Yu!
Of course... these are all conjectures.
It is not a topic that can be discussed openly.
Even if there is, there is another possibility.
"Huang Laoxie" is not just Huang Chengyan, but Guan Lin is also a part of "Huang Laoxie".
If so, then... considering Guan Lin’s close relationship with these Beggar Gang disciples.
He must have known the true identity of the "old man" of the Beggars' Sect, Hong Qigong.
Actually... there is a misleading here.
If it weren't for the "old man" that "old man" was deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Because of this clue misleading, Guan Yu and Ma Liang were enough to judge Hong Qigong's true identity.
But...at least for now, it seems that Hong Qigong must be a friend but not an enemy!
The military affairs of Changsha County are the last military affairs discussed today.
Logically speaking, this military meeting in the Guan family army's tent was over.
but…
Guan Yu specially left behind Ma Liang, Guan Ping, Guan Xing, Guan Yinping and Guan Suo.
He found that he was drunk too.
I wanted to use other things to change my mood and stop thinking about that little brat Guan Lin, thinking about this little brat, but... for no reason, this little brat Guan Lin is like a ghostly thing that keeps dispersing.
It filled his forehead.
Especially those ruthless words.
He would be very angry and angry when he thought about it, but for no reason... Guan Yu would think about it as if he had gotten into the horns.
——"Dad, you're a little shameless now, right?
——"Did my father... also say that those crossbows and side vans are captured by the Guan family army?"
——"Father, have nothing to say? Or is it speechless?"
——"Father can do even his face, but the child wants it!"
Guan Yu felt that he was sick and he suffered from an extremely heavy heart disease.
This was the case when the meeting was just now, but now the meeting is still the case. All he thought about was Guan Lin’s words!
It was all, this was a rebellious son who was about to anger him to death.
Guan Yu naturally didn't know that this was indeed a disease, but not a heart disease...
If you want to treat it, forget it, let’s change your son!
As he slowly stood up, Guan Yu felt a "drip"... He calmed down and couldn't help asking these sons.
"You tell me, what is 'If you don't have enough talent, you will be more resourceful; if you don't have enough knowledge, you will be more worried'? What is 'If you don't have enough power, you will be more angry; if you don't have enough faith, you will be more talk'?"
--ah…
As soon as this statement came out, it was said that Guan Ping, Guan Xing, Guan Yinping, and Guan Suo were shocked.
Why did it go around Guan Lin again?
"Tell me!"
Seeing that everyone was not talking, Guan Yu took a light step, his tone was not serious, as if he was discussing this issue with Ma Liang and his children.
But... Guan Ping and the others dared to answer.
In their opinion, my father almost fainted from anger by his fourth brother because of this. This is a question that is a question.
"Guan Gong..." Ma Liang spoke, intending to comfort him.
We must help Guan Gong get out of this horny place as soon as possible!
"Don't say anything else..." Guan Yu's words were still very gentle, "Ji Chang first explained these four sentences..."
this…
Feeling Guan Yu's persistence, Ma Liang could only explain, "Yunqi said, "If you don't have enough talent, you will be more resourceful, if you don't have enough knowledge, you will be more worried, "If you don't have enough power, you will be more angry, if you don't have enough faith, you will be more talkative, but...
After thinking carefully for a long time, Yunqi's words have no source in ancient books. The so-called "The ancients are really not bullying me" is a false statement. If it is implicated, only the "Book of Rites" says, "Learn to know the shortcomings" and
'You can only react if you know your shortcomings'!"
Ma Liang's words were considered to be avoiding the important things.
On the other hand, Guan Yu was stroking his beard, "Haha, I didn't expect that even Ji Chang would dare to explain what Yunqi said. Then let me say... Yunqi is saying that someone is not talented and knowledgeable.
, lack of prestige and lack of credibility... It is precisely because of these four shortcomings that Guan is more resourceful, more worried, more angry, and more talkative."
Speaking of this.
Guan Yu raised his eyes and looked at Guan Ping, Guan Xing, Guan Yinping and Guan Suo, "Tell me, is it really as unbearable for my father as Yunqi?"
This...is another proposition.
When all the children of the family look at each other, they know that it is meaningless to simply praise their father.
The fourth brother's words were really heavy, so heavy... they have deeply damaged my father's confidence.
At this moment, Guan Suo took a step forward and bowed, "The child dared to ask his father...why did he ask the fourth brother to say this? How can he judge if the child doesn't understand the reason?"
Guan Suo's words were said by Guan Ping, but Guan Xing wanted to say but dared not.
They went to Jiangxia...how do they know what was going on here?
How do you evaluate this time...the dispute between the fourth brother and his father.
"That's right...you don't know the whole story." Guan Yu's tone was still very light. He looked at Ma Liang, "Ji Chang, let's talk..."
"good!"
So Ma Liang told the whole story of the cause and effect of this matter.
This includes the background of this incident.
——Yang Yi’s purpose of coming to Jingzhou!
——Military Kong Ming pointed out his intention to take the exam to teach Guan Lin!
In other words, Guan Lin has great hope of becoming a disciple of Kong Ming’s remnant!
And because of these, Guan Yu spared no effort to let Yang Yi see Guan Lin's contributions and Guan Lin's talent...
Of course, I am also full of expectations for Kong Ming’s teaching examination this time.
But it just...
But in the first question, Guan Lin's answer surprised everyone.
It was precisely because of this answer that Guan Yu was at a strife with Guan Lin on the spot, and the second day he detained the tiger and leopard cavalry and military supplies... and forced Guan Lin to change the answer.
This is cause and effect!
even…
Ma Liang also explained to Guan Yu with a serious explanation.
"Even in the end, Yunqi still won't change this answer. Your father loves deeply and hates him very much. You said that with this nonsense answer, he lost the opportunity to become a disciple of Zhuge Military Advisor Zhuge.
What a pity Yu Yunqi is? How disappointed Yu Guangong is?"
"That's why Guan Gong went to see Yang Yi off for this purpose, and gave Yang Yi a letter written by himself to Kong Ming, asking Yang Yi to explain to Kong Ming. How arrogant is your father? He put down his posture and can do it
This step is really rare and not easy!”
As Ma Liang's words came out.
There was a silence here.
Guan Yinping witnessed the whole incident, and she knew... maybe it was really the fault of her fourth brother this time.
But how easy is it to make his fourth brother admit his mistakes?
Guan Ping and Guan Xing frowned, as if...their ideas were similar to Guan Yinping.
Only Guan Suo, he has the best relationship with Guan Lin, and is the brother who knows Guan Lin the most.
He immediately spoke out for Guan Lin.
"Why did my father know? The fourth brother's answer is nonsense and perfunctory? What if... what..."
Because his speech speed was too fast, Guan Suo had not organized his language yet, so he stumbling in the middle.
He paused for a moment and continued to speak. "If... if Cao Cao really left Hanzhong, then would there be a crisis in Shuzhong? Naturally, there would be no need to raise military supplies and go north to fight the enemy. The fourth brother's answer is 'Come on.
If you don’t go out, you can’t go out. There is no need to go out. Although the words are rough, the reason is not rough. Naturally, it’s not wrong!"
Following Guan Suo's words...
Guan Yu and Ma Liang subconsciously looked at each other.
——『What Wei Zhi said...is exactly the same as Yun Qi said."
Guan Yu recalled it.
Just this morning, the night before their father and son completely "exploded", Guan Lin did explain his answer.
What he meant was - Cao Ren would be cold immediately, and Cao Cao would return to Xiangfan immediately, and the danger in Hanzhong would be solved!
Of course... there is no need to raise food!
Going back to sleep honestly has become the best solution...
Can…
Isn’t this kind of nonsense?
Cao Ren is cold?
Haha, how is that possible?
Cao Ren is not an old man who is already old. His health has never been bad. He is in his year of fighting, so how could he say it will be cold if it is cold?
You, Guan Lin, can do it, and you have to have some certificates, right?
It is no exaggeration to say that even if countless knives fall over Xiangyang City, how can this kid guarantee that he will be able to penetrate Cao Ren's vital points?
Guan Yu was too lazy to explain to Guan Suo.
call…
He sat down helplessly and let out a long sigh.
He closed his eyes and thought of... it was the handwritten letter he wrote to Kong Ming.
That's how the letter is written.
"—Kongming is in good health. It has been three years since he parted in Jingzhou. Yu couldn't be moved. I thought that in the past, my brothers and three brothers had a feud in Taoyuan and visited Mr. Yu's thatched cottage for eight years... Mr. Shuijing once said, "Walking Dragon".
Feng Chu, if you get one person, you can win the world. Then, because of your elder brother’s respect for the wise and inferior people, you are lucky to have Mr. Wolong in Jingzhou for his words.”
Guan Yu's letter seemed to be "unrelated to Guan Lin's answer sheet". It was a reminiscent of the past, and his words were full of praise for Zhuge Liang.
It's just the last sentence.
——"Kong Ming studied Yunqi, this is a blessing for the Guan family. This is a lonely and arrogant son, and his temperament is seventy-sixth of Guan. Moreover, he was angry with Guan when he answered the paper, so there was some excuses in the answer sheet, and he looked at Kong Ming.
Don't mind!"
The whole article is full of words, with only one sentence that excuses Guan Lin.
Need to know.
Guan Yu has never been so humble in his life? He has never praised him so much? He has never been so humble.
Not to mention Zhuge Kongming, he didn't even face Liu Bei.
Every sentence in the whole article...every praise for Zhuge Liang is the so-called Guan Yu dances ink, which is intended to be the cloud flag!
Guan Yu was sure... If it were Kong Ming, he would definitely understand.
However, such a letter that "the meaning is meaningful, and the love of children is long" is probably going to make Kong Ming laugh.
Just then.
Zhou Cang broke into the military tent and reported: "General, outside the door... a civil servant asked for a meeting with a messenger, saying that it was Xiangfan's urgent document to be sent back!"
While speaking, Zhou Cang had already handed the urgent document to Guan Yu.
"Tell them in!"
It is related to military urgent matters... or the urgent matters sent back by Xiangfan.
Guan Yu quickly gave orders.
While talking, Zhou Cang went out.
At the same time, Guan Yu quickly unfolded the urgent documents in his hand, and Ma Liang also pointed his neck and tiptoed, and was very curious about this urgent documents in Xiangfan.
Of course, Ma Liang knew that spies' letters often needed to be carved out, and even if they saw the content in the letter, they didn't know the meaning.
And as the letter opens.
Guan Yu quickly used the carved plate to find useful words, connect them, and compare the first sentence.
And this first sentence made him slightly stunned.
——Xiangyang City…Cao Ren, Cao Chun was assassinated!
Guan Yu was still thinking that he did not give an order and asked Xiao to assassinate him. He immediately looked at Ma Liang, "Ji Changke ordered Xiangfan's eyeliner to assassinate the enemy general?"
"No..." Ma Liang shook his head repeatedly, he had no idea at all!
Guan Yu looked down...
Through the carved panel, the second sentence is about to come out.
——Cao Chun died on the spot!
What Guan Yu subconsciously thought of was... Cao Chun actually returned to Xiangyang City alive? Guan Yu originally thought that he had died in Sunset Valley.
Therefore, Cao Chun's death did not attract Guan Yu's attention.
And just then...
The carved version is moving down again, and the third sentence is being pieced together...
The first two words are "Cao Ren"...
——『What's wrong with Cao Ren?
Guan Yu thought about it while spelling out this complete sentence.
It was at this moment that his phoenix eyes shrank, as if he had seen a ghost. He was dumbfounded. He pondered for a moment, and then he didn't care about his demeanor and dignity at all. He screamed loudly.
——"Cao Ren was assassinated and has been in a coma until now!"
Only this sentence.
The entire tent suddenly became silent.
Everyone, including Guan Yu, fell into silence for a long time.
