Guan Yu clenched his fists when he heard the words "Knowing people but not knowing their hearts". No, absolutely not, my eldest brother would not be such a person! However, another voice told him that this is true!
How can a man throw such dirty water on himself? Qin Yi absolutely cannot lie about this matter, it must be true!
Just as heaven and man were fighting in Guan Yu's heart, the next door had fallen silent, and the voices of Qin Yi and shopkeeper Song could no longer be heard.
Suddenly, Guan Yu felt a stinging pain in his palm, which woke him up. When he looked down, the roll of bamboo slips he just held in his hand had been crushed to pieces without knowing it, and the sharp bamboo fragments pierced the palm of his hand.
The blood stained the sleeves of the robe red.
In the afternoon, Guan Yu came next door and visited Qin Yi and shopkeeper Song in person. In fact, the main purpose of his coming here was to visit shopkeeper Song. Guangling was still counting on shopkeeper Song to help solve the problem of food. As for Qin Yi, Guan Yu had no idea at all.
Give him a good look.
Guan Yu was a little confused all morning. The news he heard today shocked him. If what Qin Yi said was true, then Liu Bei transferred him to Guangling and was suspected of separating him from Du Xiuniang. However, Du Xiuniang was
He took a fancy to it first. Liu Bei knew these things well, but how could he
Can he rob Liu Bei by force? However, Guan Yu couldn't hate Liu Bei, or he couldn't hate Liu Bei. Liu Bei once said that brothers are like brothers and sisters, and wives are like clothes. And Liu Bei did this, treating him as a relative.
Brothers are still close, so how can he resent this elder brother who is closer than a real brother?
Guan Yu vented all his grievances on Qin Yi. If he can't even protect his own woman, can he still be considered a qualified man? Such a useless person is not worthy of having a woman like Du Xiuniang!
Seeing the anger in Guan Yu's eyes, Qin Yi didn't even dare to express his anger. Shopkeeper Song, on the other hand, forced himself up half of his body and said, "The people know that they are wrong and they don't dare to work for General Guan to visit him personally."
Guan Yu stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "It's good if you know where you went wrong. Guan will give you a chance to make a difference."
Shopkeeper Song looked happy and said: "The common people have admired the general for a long time. If they can serve the general, it is their wish, but they dare not ask for his ear."
Guan Yu suddenly said seriously: "Guangling is short of food. If shopkeeper Song can get some more food for Guangling, Guan will remember you and spare Qin Yi."
Shopkeeper Song raised his head and faced Guan Yu's aggressive eyes. He hurriedly lowered his head and said in embarrassment: "Back to the general, it's not easy for me to transport this food from the north. I need to get more food from the north."
…”
Guan Yu used to focus on practicing martial arts and rarely paid attention to the logistics of food and grass. After coming to Guangling, he realized that these things were also very laborious. However, he had been busy restoring order in Guangling and did not know much about the surrounding situation. After listening to Song
The shopkeeper was surprised when he said: "You are a grain merchant. You can just traffic wherever there is grain. Why do you have to transport it from the north?"
Shopkeeper Song has been in Phantom for many years and has collected all kinds of information. He is much clearer about the situation here than Guan Yu, but he can't explain it clearly, so he can only say: "Back to the general, I have been dealing with food for many years. I have heard that Guangling is Xuzhou."
Now even Guangling is short of food, where can we get food in the surrounding area?"
Guan Yu had some displeasure on his face. If Zuo Rong hadn't completely destroyed Guangling, why would he have needed to ask you, a grain merchant? However, Guangling was seriously short of grain, so how could he allow him to slowly transfer grain from the north? So he had to
He held back and said: "The counties around Guangling such as Jiujiang, Wu County, and Danyang are all not short of food. Since you have a way to get food from the north, it must not be difficult to get some food from these places?"
Shopkeeper Song was moved when he heard this, but he deliberately said with a grimace: "This is just a one-sided statement by the general. The common people have invested all their wealth in this business, how can they be careless? Regardless of other things, it is just from Jiangnan.
In Wujun and Danyang, the common people have trafficked grain before, but there is a severe shortage of grain there. How can there be any surplus grain to sell?"
Guan Yu laughed loudly and said: "At this moment, at that moment. Wu County can resettle millions of people who fled Xuzhou, so how can it be short of food? If Wu County has surplus food, I wonder if Shopkeeper Song is confident in getting it?"
The expression on Shopkeeper Song's face changed, and he seemed to be having trouble making a choice. After a long while, he said: "The general must also know that now the princes are in charge of their own affairs and are very strict about food. I am able to get food from the north because I have been operating for many years and have my own ready-made channels.
. Now I am going to Jiangnan to look for some food, where I am unfamiliar with the people..."
Guan Yu interrupted Shopkeeper Song's words unceremoniously and said in a deep voice: "Is it possible that Shopkeeper Song is trying to evade this?"
Shopkeeper Song hurriedly said: "General Guan handed this matter over to me because of his trust in me. How can I dare to shirk it? With my many years of experience in buying and selling grain, as long as there is surplus grain in Wu County, I can always get some back. But in the end
I can't guarantee how much I can get back, I'm afraid..."
Guan Yu's expression softened a lot, and he nodded and said, "That's good. Before you come back, Qin Yi will live in the prefect's mansion, and I will ask someone to take good care of him."
Shopkeeper Song was stunned for a moment, and then he understood that Guan Yu wanted to take Qin Yi as a "hostage". If Shopkeeper Song couldn't get back the food he desperately needed, he was afraid that he would have Qin Yi operated on. And based on what Guan Yu meant,
As if urging himself to leave immediately, he could only make a grimace, pointed at his blossoming butt and said: "I also hope to leave early and come back early, but this..."
Guan Yu really wants to detain Qin Yi as a "hostage", because judging from the results of his eavesdropping today, this shopkeeper Song is a very loyal person and will never abandon Qin Yi and escape on his own. Otherwise, with Guan Yu's personality,
Now he is not only disgusted with Qin Yi, but also wishes that Qin Yi would go as far away as possible, so how could he keep Qin Yi by his side.
However, Guan Yu also knew how treacherous these businessmen were. Even if Shopkeeper Song was capable of completing this task, he would shirk in every possible way so as to raise the price. When Shopkeeper Song mentioned the stick wound on his butt, he snorted coldly: "Since this is the case,
It has been decided that when you set off is your business, Guan will never interfere. However, Guan cannot wait forever. Let it last for ten days. If Guan cannot see food after ten days, you will prepare
Collect the body for Qin Yi!"
When Qin Yi saw Guan Yu's unkind expression today, he was already a little uneasy. He was even more worried that Guan Yu would ask him to cross the river with Shopkeeper Song to raise food. That would be an extremely dangerous thing. When Du Xiuniang was being bullied, Qin Yi
He always chooses to swallow his anger, nominally doing so to protect his beloved wife and young son, but out of helplessness, in fact it is because he is greedy for life and afraid of death. Therefore, when he heard that Guan Yu asked him to stay, Qin Yi was relieved, but,
Hearing what Guan Yu just said, he couldn't help but tremble and kept looking at Shopkeeper Song.
Shopkeeper Song seemed to have seen Qin Yi's hopeful eyes, gritted his teeth and said: "Well, I will set off for Wu County early tomorrow morning and ask the general to prepare a ship for me. Within ten days, whether it is successful or not, I will come.
Reply to the general."
"Okay! Guan is waiting for the good news from Shopkeeper Song." Guan Yu laughed loudly, turned and left, leaving behind Shopkeeper Song who was sighing and Qin Yi, who had narrowly escaped death.
In fact, shopkeeper Song was snickering in his heart. If he was asked to go to Danyang and Jiujiang to get grain, he would really be unable to do anything. But Guan Yu asked him to go to Wu County, so what's the problem? Even if Wu County didn't have any surplus grain, he wouldn't be able to do anything.
He could get enough food. Moreover, this time he accidentally discovered the secret of Liu Bei's entry and exit from the Qin family. After he went to Wu County, he could take this opportunity to send the news back to Xiangyang. If Xiangyang felt that the purpose had been achieved,
He could then stop returning to Xuzhou and reunite with Tian's mother and son.
In front of the gate of Xiangyang Chengzhou Mufu, a depressed Liu Xin was saying goodbye to everyone. It was no wonder that Liu Xin felt depressed. On the first night, Ma Yun told him what he was coming, but Liu Xin couldn't bear it. On the second night,
Bian Yu said that tonight was his last day. Otherwise, if you come tomorrow, the rules cannot be changed. Liu Xin had no choice but to endure it again.
On the night of the third day, Cai Yan had no problem, but Liu Xiang was ill and had a high fever. Children within six months have immunity acquired from their mothers and generally will not get sick. After six months, children will
It's hard to say. It's completely normal to be sick. But Cai Yan was very nervous and there was no smile on his face. Liu Xin naturally lost interest. Not only did she have to endure it, she also had to comfort Cai Yan and help Liu Xiang wipe her body.
The physical cooling he "invented" kept him awake all night.
Needless to say, on the fourth night, after counting the days, Zhu Qian was about to arrive. Liu Xin gritted her teeth and continued to endure. On the fifth night, Cai Jue himself became ill. Since he was thrown down while trying to save Liu Yu,
, Cai Jue's already weak body was in good and bad condition, Liu Xin had to comfort her with some words and lay down with her clothes on. On the night of the sixth day, Liu Xin had no hope at all. Ever since Zhu Rong became pregnant, he had not let him go.
After touching him once, he refused to let her even have a bed. This night, he was destined to "stay alone in the empty room".
After finally staying up until last night, Liu Xin felt itchy in her heart as she thought about Diao Chan's slim figure, smooth skin, and the amazing elasticity of her waist. Although she had only been irrigated by rain and dew once, Diao Chan's
Zhang Qingguo's pretty face became even more charming.
After a moment of tenderness, Liu Xin's hand was about to reach out to the important place, but Diao Chan stopped her and muttered: "Master, it's not convenient for me today."
Liu Xin lost her voice and said: "Really or not? This kind of thing happens all the time!"
Diao Chan blushed and said: "How dare the slave family deceive the master? The slave family is really here. They just came this morning."
Liu Xin had a bitter look on her face and said, "Come on, go to bed."
Diao Chan didn't understand what "getting together" and "wash and sleep" meant. Anyway, Liu Xin didn't make things difficult for her. She was very satisfied and fell asleep sweetly in Liu Xin's arms.
But Liu Xin endured it for another night, feeling so depressed that she wanted to hit the wall. So, Liu Xin appeared in front of everyone with a haggard look on her face, as if she hadn't slept in several days.
Zhang Ji and Hua Tuo were also among the people seeing him off. Seeing Liu Xin's appearance, Hua Tuo mused: "My lord, it seems that things are not going well recently. You need to be careful about your health."
Zhang Ji knew about Liu Xin's body. He stroked the short strands of his beard and said with a smile: "There is no need to worry about Yuan Hua. My lord is suffering from a disease. My lord knows how to solve it."
