Three Kingdoms: The Reverse Son of the Guan Family, Dragon Blessing Jingxiang

Chapter 102 The source of defeat in Maicheng, the cruel truth

Since Liu Bei entered Shu four years ago, Mi Fang and Fu Shiren have begun to cooperate together to sell some arms on a small scale.

At that time, I still made a small amount of money.

But this phenomenon began to intensify rapidly after Zhuge Liang entered Shu.

Mi Fang is Liu Bei's brother-in-law, and Fu Shiren is a veteran who joined Liu Bei at the same time as Zhang Fei and Guan Yu.

Because of their status, the two men were in charge of all the money and food in the treasury of Jiangling City and Gong'an City respectively, as well as the purchase and transportation of military supplies.

In the meantime, which link was "lost", which military supplies were damaged, which ordnance was robbed... Guan Yu couldn't ask every detail.

The accounts of ancient treasuries were often confused!

Gradually, the two of them started fighting each other, and then became more and more courageous, reselling more and more weapons and weapons from the treasury.

However, they still maintain a bottom line.

That is Jingzhou's military supplies, which will never be sold to Cao Cao in the north.

As for... Soochow, the Sun-Liu alliance was all fighting against Cao Cao's thieves anyway. Whoever uses these military supplies will have the same effect.

Of course, except Soochow.

Mi Fang and Fu Shiren also have another biggest customer, which is Jiaozhou Taxi Bian.

Mi Fang and Fu Shiren were not familiar with Shibian.

I only know that two years ago, the Shibian family in Jiaozhou surrendered to Sun Quan. In name, Jiaozhou was also included in Sun Quan's territory.

But in fact, Jiaozhou was still under the rule of Shibian, and it only paid a large amount of property to Soochow every year, which was regarded as a vassal state.

What surprised Mi Fang and Fu Shiren was that the Jiaozhou Shibian family was extremely rich.

Whenever I make a purchase, I never make a counter-offer.

And...it's a big deal!

For this reason, the two of them made a lot of money.

This is why Mi Fang was surprised when he heard that this merchant was from Jiaozhou.

If there really were arms dealers like Shi Huolong and You Tanzhi in Jiaozhou, then why would Shibian send people to Jiangling to buy them? Isn’t this looking at the far distance at the expense of the near and going in the opposite direction?

certainly…

This has nothing to do with Mi Fang's current mission.

He's here to ask for a price!

Over here, Mi Fang and Shi Huolong were still talking.

Colleagues are not necessarily enemies.

For example, for arms, Mi Fang still thought about it. After asking about the price, everyone who has money can make money together, and everyone can share what they have and cooperate with each other.

But, it seems that Shi Huolong didn't think so.

When the topic of arms was brought up, Shi Huolong's eyes were fixed and he said, "Prefect Mi is inviting me so kindly. Is it probably because of that batch of arms?"

Mi Fang didn't beat around the bush and nodded seriously, "I don't know how many sidecars, how many repeating crossbows, how many wooden cows and stray horses, Brother Shi has?"

this…

Shi Huolong thought about it for a while, and then confessed: "Actually, this batch is not many. There are two hundred sidecars, more than a thousand crossbows, and more than ten thousand crossbow arrows... As for the wooden ox and the stray horse, there are only a hundred!"

The topic gradually got on track.

Mi Fang continued to ask with great interest: "Then I don't know... what price does the owner, Mr. Shi, plan to sell it at?"

Indeed, less is a little less...

It can be considered that the practicality of these ordnance, especially the "extreme restraint" of sidecars... against cavalry, and the subsequent further purchase of these ordnance...

From the perspective of the Jiangling prefect, Mi Fang believed that he still had to fight for it.

"I can't say for sure." Shi Huolong waved his hand...

"Brother Shi, didn't your master set a price in advance before coming here?"

"No!" Shi Huolong showed a very honest side, "My master only said that there are rare things to live in..."

"Haha, Governor Mi has also been in the arms business. He should know that when shopping, you should also compare prices. Otherwise... how will I explain to the master when I go back?"

Hey…

Mi Fang felt that Shi Huolong was very drunk after watching several glasses of wine...

But the words are still flawless.

He blinked his eyes and was thinking about what to ask, or how to use a formula, but if that didn't work... Mi Fang would quote a price for Guan Yu. How much should he quote?

Shi Huolong was the first to speak, "Besides, it was thanks to the Fourth Young Master that we were able to get a hold of the weapons today, and the Fourth Young Master has so swornly promised that he will give us a satisfactory price tomorrow, although... Businessmen pay attention to business matters, but since the Fourth Young Master has gone so far, we have to give him some face, right?"

Shi Huolong's eyes were deep, and he slowly opened his mouth and suggested, "How about, Governor Mi doesn't rush to make the quotation first, and wait until he hears the Fourth Young Master's quotation tomorrow before making the calculation?"

Mi Fang's eyes flashed, and he pondered slightly, then nodded.

"Okay, this is best...fair!"

Having said this, Mi Fang raised the wine bottle again, and the two started drinking together again.

Another round of free drinking.

Mi Fang felt that the time was almost ripe, and he asked quietly: "May I ask Brother Shi, where are you from Jiaozhou? Why doesn't Brother Shi's accent sound like someone from the south?"

Shi Huolong, who was still drunk at first, seemed to perk up when he heard Mi Fang's words, and his eyes suddenly widened.

Then, he slapped the table and stood up unsteadily...

He looked unhappy.

Mi Fang quickly stood up and said, "Brother Shi, why is this happening?"

"Prefect Mi, this is a good banquet... but why did you break the rules?" Shi Huolong directly accused.

"How did I break the rules?" Mi Fang was confused.

Shi Huolong shook his head and pretended to leave, but Mi Fang quickly grabbed him.

Now that we are leaving, this batch of ordnance will never be finished.

How does he explain to Guan Yunchang?

"Brother Shi has something to say, something to say..."

At this time, Mi Fang didn't look like a superior person at all, as if she was begging for Shi Huolong.

Shi Huolong rolled his eyes at him and said, "Prefect Mi just said that he has also made arms, so don't you know that in our arms business, we don't ask the host?"

As soon as these words came out, Mi Fang took a sharp breath.

Indeed, there are such rules for reselling arms.

You need to know that in today's world, there are many people who sell arms and make war fortune.

The more chaotic the world is, the more people are speculating, and the more people are taking desperate risks - to make big money!

It ranges from a county magistrate, a county magistrate, and even a county official, to a large one such as the Three Gongs and Nine Ministers in the imperial court, and the prefect who holds a heavy army.

As long as they want to, as long as they have it, they can sell some of their military supplies and ordnance on the black market in exchange for large sums of money!

The specific operation is also extremely simple. As long as you release the news on the black market, some people will buy it, and some people will visit you.

And these county magistrates, county magistrates, county officials...three princes, nine ministers, and one side of the prefect who resell arms, how could they not know that once this matter gets out, their reputation will be ruined, and their heads will probably be moved.

Just like Mi Fang and Fu Shiren.

Why were they afraid of Guan Gong inspecting the armory in history?

Why was the armory set on fire?

Isn't it just because he is worried that Guan Yu will find out about reselling arms?

Something happened and a fire broke out, no one was aware of it, no connection was involved...if the whole thing was not protected, the wrong person would take the blame.

This matter, some institutions in later generations call them experts!

On the contrary, if the conclusive evidence of arms reselling was obtained by Guan Yu.

That... no matter whether it is resold to Cao Wei, Soochow, or Jiaozhou, even Wuxi Barbarian King Samoko or Shanyue... Guan Yu's Qinglong Yanyue Sword will definitely never show mercy.

You don’t even need the privilege of “False Festival Yue”!

Just behead him directly to set the record straight.

It is precisely because of this that there is an unwritten rule in arms trafficking.

That is the buyer. No matter what the situation, time or situation, he must never ask the seller's identity. As the saying goes, the guest does not ask the host.

Undoubtedly, Mi Fang's question "Where are you from Jiaozhou" just now violated this iron law!

"Prefect Mi doesn't understand the rules, so let's find cooperation with someone who understands the rules... Prefect Mi says goodbye!"

Shi Huolong's words were particularly cold, sending chills all over Mi Fang's body.

"Drunk, drunk...what did I just say? What did you say?" Mi Fang pretended to be sober because of surprise, and pretended to ask: "Where is this? Why is this prefect here? We are What did you say?"

Looking at Mi Fang's appearance...

Shi Huolong finally stopped, "That's it, let's talk about the transaction tomorrow. Say goodbye!"

just like…

The Mi Fang sent by Guan Yu completely declared failure in this first round of negotiations!

…

Guan Lin was a little confused all afternoon.

It's not because of anything else, but because of the third sister - Guan Yinping.

On the way home from Desheng Bridge, the third sister Guan Yinping hurried over. Guan Lin thought there was something wrong with her and hurriedly asked.

I never thought about it and hesitated for a long time...

Third sister Guan Yinping was so stunned that she didn't say a word.

It was a long, countless time of hesitation. ,

Guan Lin was still thinking, we are all a family, what is there that we can't say?

At that time, he couldn't help but ask the third sister again and again.

Who would have thought that the third sister Guan Yinping's face turned red and she rode away on horseback.

For a moment, Guan Lin thought that the third sister had fallen in love with a handsome young man and wanted his help to match him... But how old was the third sister?

Besides, it's not spring now, isn't it the season of estrus?

Originally, this was just a small episode, and it passed away.

Never thought...

One afternoon, Guan Yinping came to look for Guan Lin twice more.

Every time I hesitated for a long time, opening my mouth, but couldn't say a word.

In the end, naturally, nothing was left but loneliness.

It's like... the third sister Guan Yinping wants Guan Lin to guess by himself!

Guan Lin was also drunk.

He has too many things to do these days.

Lao Huang's side is in full swing of manufacturing, Lu Youjiao's side is arranging manpower, the thief Cao Chu's house still has a lot of accounts, and the Beggar Clan has just been established. There are many things that need to be asked to "Hong Qigong"!

All in all, a lot of clues!

Now there are Shi Huolong and You Tanzhi, and there is another plan to make money and people.

It is no exaggeration to say that Guan Lin's head was filled with so many threads that it was about to turn into mush.

Now…

Don't say "guess"...

Guan Lin was almost numb.

He admitted that he still couldn't figure out a girl's thoughts in his two lives...

Having said that, girls are so weird...

If something happens, you can’t just say it!

It’s so hard to guess all the time.

No wonder Uncle You would say, "There is no woman in my heart. I am a natural god when I draw a sword. On the first page of the sword manual, I forget my sweetheart!"

——Your uncle will always be your uncle!

"Tap..."

Accompanied by the light footsteps, Guan Lin did not raise his head, he was still drawing a brand new manufacturing diagram.

Of course, without raising his head, he knew that it must be the third sister Guan Yinping, and she was here again, and again, and again!

"coming?"

Guan Lin lowered his head and said casually.

He's used to it...

Third sister Guan Yinping will definitely say - What is your attitude?

Sure enough, "What is your attitude? Are you just talking to the third sister like this without raising your head? I actually picked infantrymen from the military camp to help you at noon!"

Guan Lin still didn't look up.

"Third sister, this is not your first time here. If you have something to say, you can talk about it. As long as it's something I can do, I'll do whatever it takes. But... Third sister, please understand, brother. I'm not in your belly." Ascaris, I really can’t guess what you are thinking..."

While talking, Guan Lin was still muttering in his heart.

——"The next step is 'that, that'...and then, there is a long silence, and finally he runs away with a blushing face!" 』

as expected…

"That... that..."

Guan Yinping changed her heroic appearance on the battlefield. At this moment, she looked like a shy and coy girl.

I hesitate to speak...

Familiar words can't be said.

In fact, Guan Yinping is only fifteen or sixteen years old.

At this age, it is inevitable that such shameful things will be difficult to talk about.

It would be like this for any girl in future generations.

You can't fall in love at the age of fifteen or six, and just take your boyfriend to buy "that towel". This is too shameful!

Of course, things are different after twenty.

Asking your boyfriend what brand to buy is a thief...

One is original and the other is modified...

After experiencing it, you know everything, so there is no need to be shy anymore.

In fact, Guan Lin really couldn't think about it.

After all...it's cyclical, it's not needed every day.

The third sister has just passed these few days this month, so there is no need now... How could Guan Lin have thought that she came here just to beg for this...

This is considered a rainy day plan!

Is it also a different kind of "security"?

"Third Sister, I really can't take care of you today..." Guan Lin's picture reached a point, and he slowly stood up, "Later, the Mi family will have to send the last batch of food they owe to the thief Cao Yu. Mansion, and then inventory and storage in the granary, I will be very busy tonight!"

"Sister, if there's something going on, just tell me. If not, I'll go to Cao Cao's Mansion first!"

In fact, Guan Lin only said one thing, counting the grain.

Apart from this matter, tonight...he had to pay close attention to...Shi Huolong and You Tanzhi.

Presumably, at this moment, there is a lot of excitement over the two of them!

"I..." After all, Guan Yinping still couldn't be brave enough to tell such shameful things to his brother without restraint.

But this time, she was fully prepared.

She mustered up the courage, closed her eyes, and whispered, "That's it...it's the one you gave me a few days ago, the one with the little wings, fourth brother...you...do you still have it?"

——"Crash..."

The wind quietly blew through Guan Yinping's slightly messy hair.

At this moment, Guan Yinping had his eyes closed.

Her face was red and she didn't dare to look directly into Guan Lin's eyes.

Ten breaths, twenty breaths, thirty breaths!

She stayed in this posture for thirty breaths, but... still no one responded.

She couldn't help but suppress her shyness and opened her eyes.

But in front of me, there was no figure of the fourth brother anywhere.

"Fourth brother? Where's the person... the person?"

Guan Yinping quickly shouted...

But there is no one in this empty pavilion.

Guan Yinping was left alone, in front of the open door, messy in the wind.
