Summary of the previous chapter: In order to help Zhuge Liang defeat the two powerful generals Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Ma Xiaoquan decided to adopt Yuan's idea and "refine" the No-Return Pill...
Liu Bei thought for a moment and said weakly: "I'm afraid it's not good?"
Ma Xiaoquan said: "Why is it bad? You are the lord and you have the final say."
Liu Bei hesitated in his heart, thought for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth: "Okay, it's settled."
After bidding farewell to Liu Bei, Ma Xiaoquan quickly got into his temporary bedroom and prepared a new pill overnight.
This elixir looks similar to the Unreturn elixir from the outside, but the ingredients inside are quite different.
The Bu Huan Dan is full of laxatives, but this elixir contains some commonly used nourishing medicines.
...
The next day, Zhuge Liang took the initiative to approach Guan Yu and said that he would make a bet with Guan Yu. The bet was the Non-Repaying Pill in Guan Yu's hand.
Guan Yu squinted his eyes and looked down at Zhuge Liang, helpless. Although Zhuge Liang was not short, Guan Yu was taller and said, "Just you? What are you betting with me on?"
Zhuge Liang stretched out his right hand and showed the Non-Repaying Pill in his hand.
"Huh? No-Return Pill?" Guan Yu raised his eyebrows, "How come you have the No-Return Pill refined by Master Shangxian?"
Of course Zhuge Liang would not tell Guan Yu that this was given to me by Master Shangxian to make a bet with you.
Zhuge Liang said: "I won this from Master Shangxian!"
"You won?" Guan Yu was secretly shocked and said, "Can you beat Lord Shangxian? What kind of bet did you make with Lord Shangxian?"
Zhuge Liang laughed: "Of course it's a bet that a man should make."
When Guan Yu heard this, he said unconvinced: "What bet is a man supposed to make?"
Zhuge Liang waved, Guan Yu came forward, and Zhuge Liang whispered a few words in his ear.
"Hiss..." After hearing this, Guan Yu said in surprise, "Sir, Master Shangxian, can you lose?"
Zhuge Liang puffed up his chest: "Of course, I have made this kind of bet no less than ten times. I can't say that I have won ten times in ten battles. I have won seven or eight times no matter what. How about it, Yunchang, just say you dare not
Do you dare to bet with me?"
Guan Yu hummed and fell silent.
It sounds like Zhuge Liang has the upper hand in this bet. After all, Zhuge Liang is only 27 years old, but who is Guan Yu? He was granted the title of Martial Saint by future generations. It has nothing to do with the late Han Dynasty. He is a great man and a general... He is Zhuge Liang.
They're all asking for help. If Guan Yu doesn't accept the offer, won't he be laughed at to death?
In an instant, Guan Yu's self-esteem and pride surged rapidly.
"His grandma's, isn't it just a bet? A certain family has a fight with you!"
When Zhuge Liang heard that Guan Yu had taken the bait, he sighed secretly in his heart: "Hey, this Guan Yu is exactly what Master Shangxian said. He is so arrogant. Hey, one day, he will pay a heavy price for himself...
..”
Zhuge Liang stretched out his right hand and high-fived Guan Yu three times, which meant that we had made a bet and we were not allowed to go back on it.
After making the bet, Zhuge Liang clapped his hands and said, "Since General Guan agreed, that's fine. Come on, let's talk about this bet..."
The two bargained for a while and finally settled on a compromise bet.
Guan Yu chewed the words of the bet over and over again, fearing that Zhuge Liang would plot against him, while Zhuge Liang looked at Guan Yu expressionlessly.
After a while, Guan Yu felt that there was no problem, so he laughed and left.
As soon as Guan Yu left, Ma Xiaoquan appeared immediately.
"I've met Lord Shangxian!"
"Well!" Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand, "Kong Ming, has Guan Yu taken the bait?"
Zhuge Liang nodded: "I can't talk about taking the bait, but this bet between General Guan and me is very interesting. Lord Shangxian, would you like to hear it?"
"Why, isn't it different from what we said before? Let me tell you!"
Zhuge Liang chuckled: "I told General Guan that we would both take the No Return Pill under the supervision of the lord, and then..."
When Ma Xiaoquan heard this, he burst out laughing and said, "It's really yours."
Zhuge Liang nodded, cupped his hands and said, "But I still have to trouble Lord Shangxian to supervise me and General Guan together with my lord."
Ma Xiaoquan laughed and said: "That's natural! Well, time waits for no one, let's go and call Guan Yu out now, I will go find your lord!"
"Um......"
...
Zhuge Liang "asked" Guan Yu to fight, and Ma Xiaoquan called Liu Bei.
In line with the principles of "openness, justice, and fairness," Liu Bei ordered people to set up a simple large stage in the school grounds, and dozens of small stools were prepared under the stage.
When Liu Bei's generals heard that Brother Guan was going to compete with military advisor Zhuge Liang, they all became interested. Within a moment, the audience was packed.
On the stage, Ma Xiaoquan and Liu Bei were sitting together. Seeing that everyone was almost here, Liu Bei nodded to Ma Xiaoquan. Ma Xiaoquan understood, stood up, and announced loudly: "Everyone, be quiet and cough...
..Today, I have invited your Lord, Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, to accompany him to do this...the supervisor of the competition between Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang...Hmm...
..First of all, I would like to invite Guan Yu."
As soon as Ma Xiaoquan finished speaking, Guan Yu walked onto the stage with a generous step, holding his hands together. Immediately, the audience cheered.
It seems that Guan Yu's popularity among Liu Bei's army is quite good.
Ma Xiaoquan and Liu Bei looked at each other and announced: "We have invited military advisor Zhuge Liang!"
On the other side of the stage, Zhuge Liang walked over in a graceful manner.
Zhuge Liang is handsome and tall, and he is Mr. Wolong, a famous figure in Jingzhou. In addition, he was picked out by Liu Bei when he visited the thatched cottage three times. These identities are enough for others to take a close look at Zhuge Liang.
The two stood in the center of the stage, with less than two arms' distance between them.
"Humph!" Guan Yu glanced at Zhuge Liang and snorted disdainfully.
Zhuge Liang did not repay kindness with evil, but bowed respectfully to Liu Bei and Ma Xiaoquan, and then bowed his hand to Guan Yu and said a few polite words.
Ma Xiaoquan stood up with a smile and walked to the two of them.
Since both of them are taller than Ma Xiaoquan, Ma Xiaoquan has to raise his head to talk to them. Fortunately, Zhuge Liang is about 1.88 meters tall including wearing shoes. And Guan Yu's height of more than two meters makes Ma Xiaoquan very tall.
My balls hurt.
"Yun Chang, can you sit down?"
Guan Yu chuckled and sat down on the ground. Zhuge Liang looked at it and imitated Guan Yu's example and sat down.
Ma Xiaoquan hummed with satisfaction, walked up to the two of them, stretched out his hand and said: "Give me the Non-Return Pill!"
The two of them respectfully took out the non-repaying pills in their hands and handed them to Ma Xiaoquan.
After receiving the Pill of Non-Return, Ma Xiaoquan turned to face the audience and showed the Pill of Non-Return to the audience. While showing it, he loudly said: "Everyone, the pill I am holding in my hand now belongs to me.
The magic elixir refined by Master is called Non-Return. This No-Return elixir cannot prolong life, nor can it make you taller or fatter, but it can...ahem..." Ma Xiaoquan said this, deliberately
He coughed twice, then suddenly lowered his voice, "That thing that makes a man so majestic... Hmm, you all understand, right?"
Everyone in the audience was stunned for a moment, and then after a while of chatting, they immediately understood.
Looking at the scorching eyes of the audience, Ma Xiaoquan grinned and said, "Do you want to ask if there are any more? I'm sorry, I don't know how to refine them. My master originally refined three.
I gave one to Cao Cao, and these two to Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Fei in the audience was reluctant: "Sir Shangxian, you are so partial, and neither am I, Mr. Zhang."
Zhao Yun blushed, lowered his head and said weakly: "Me neither!"
"That's right, none of us have..."
Ma Xiaoquan turned his head and winked at Liu Bei. Liu Bei stood up and walked to the stage and shouted: "Shut up! If Lord Shangxian says it's gone, it's gone. Stop talking about it!"
Liu Bei's roar had an immediate effect. The audience looked at each other in shock, but they did not dare to make a loud noise again.
Liu Bei took a look, nodded with satisfaction, walked to Ma Xiaoquan, leaned into Ma Xiaoquan's ear and asked quietly: "Master Shangxian, is he really gone?"
Ma Xiaoquan: "..."
...
Everything is ready, just waiting for the game to start.
Ma Xiaoquan gave Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang a bowl of wine, and then returned the elixir to them.
"Okay, you can take it now. Remember, this elixir may not be effective. If side effects occur, you can drink feces juice to relieve its effects. Do you two understand?"
Zhuge Liang hummed, but Guan Yu snorted coldly.
"Okay, let's start the game!"
Ma Xiaoquan gave an order, Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang slowly picked up the elixir, and slowly put the elixir into their mouths in full view of everyone.
"Gulu" Almost at the same time, the audience in the audience and the two people on the stage made a unified swallowing sound. However, the person on the stage took the elixir, and the people in the audience could only swallow their saliva.
After the two took the elixir, they did not get up immediately. Instead, according to Ma Xiaoquan's request, they had to sit still for more than half an hour.
At this time, Ma Xiaoquan walked back to Liu Bei slowly, deliberately not standing still and staggering a few times.
With a "pop" sound, a black pill rolled out from Ma Xiaoquan's sleeve pocket.
The elixir rolled down to Liu Bei's feet and fell down the stage.
Zhang Fei had an eye problem, so he stepped forward to pick up the elixir and shouted: "Master Shangxian, what is this?"
Ma Xiaoquan looked at it and said in panic: "No...it's not some kind of elixir...give it to me!"
Zhang Fei curled his lips and thought: I didn't ask him if it was a pill... Well, there must be something fishy in it.
Zhang Fei put the elixir in his arms and said, "Master Shangxian, you are not being kind. We all saw the elixir that my second brother and the military advisor took just now, and now it slipped out of your pocket."
