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

September and October are the seasons when autumn chrysanthemums bloom.

Although the weather is suddenly cold, it cannot stop the chrysanthemums blooming all over the mountains and plains.

Just after noon, the outskirts of Jiangling's west city were already a sea of ​​golden chrysanthemums.

The wine Huang Chengyan drank was also chrysanthemum wine.

The wines of the Han Dynasty were mostly named after their raw materials, such as rice wine, rice wine, and wine. In addition, there were also wines with added ingredients, such as pepper wine, cypress wine, cinnamon wine, and chrysanthemum wine!

Huang Chengyan's favorite drink is chrysanthemum wine, which has a faint sadness of chrysanthemums. Every time he drinks it, it always reminds him of his daughter who is far away in Shu.

Guan Lin's favorite drink is sugar cane wine, simply because...it's so sweet and delicious!

Of course, Huang Chengyan didn't have to pay for wine when he went out to the villa. Not only did he not have to pay, the farmers even invited Huang Chengyan to sit here and have a casual meal.

It is said that it is a simple meal, and it is passed on to ten, and it is passed on to hundreds.

Before long, more than 40 cooks alone came and started to get busy spontaneously.

One person was kneeling and pounding the rice, one was adding firewood to cook the rice, one was chopping the firewood, one was mixing the rice next to the wooden steamer, two were filtering the wine, and one was filling Huang Chengyan's gourd with wine with a spoon.

Filling one gourd was not enough, so the farmer took two more gourds from his home, filled them full, and hung them on Huang Chengyan's donkey.

Other farmers have a clear division of labor.

——Drawing water, cooking, filtering, brewing, killing animals, cutting meat, carving fish, making preserved meat, preparing banquets...

etc…

On the contrary, Huang Chengyan and Zhang Fei were sitting at the table together, and someone just had to feed food into their mouths. They were like two "big men"!

Zhang Fei was shocked. "Old man Huang, what's going on with you? Why...these farmers are closer to you than they are to their father?"

How did Zhang Fei know...

The influx of these two thousand people into the "Mianshui" villa has brought a lot of profits to the surrounding villages.

It is no exaggeration to say that Huang Chengyan is a Bodhisattva in their minds.

It was also because Guan Lin led the "Beggars' Gang" into the "Mianshui" Villa. Huang Chengyan not only felt "great respect" in the Villa, but even when he went out, he was admired by countless people!

This was very useful to him!

At this moment, Huang Chengyan was just stroking his beard and said with emotion: "One person, neither big nor small, didn't come, but another one, neither big nor small, came."

just like…

Huang Chengyan's first "no big or small" one refers to Guan Lin, and the second one is Zhang Fei.

In fact, Guan Lin sent someone with a letter last night, saying in advance that he was coming today.

He also said that he would bring new blueprints, saying they were process blueprints that would make the wine stronger.

This makes Huang Chengyan very happy...

Huang Chengyan had already asked Guan Lin if there was any way to make this wine more flavorful.

Need to know…

People in the Han Dynasty were extremely obsessed with wine.

In the Han Dynasty, wine was called "the beauty of heaven". In addition to being very particular about the way to drink, the pursuit of wine quality was almost crazy.

For example, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty heard someone say that there was good wine in the south, and people who drank it would not die, so he sent his men to lead boys and girls to the south to look for it.

Sure enough, he got some wine and brought it to Chang'an, but as soon as the fairy wine was placed in the main hall, Dongfang Shuo drank it.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was furious and wanted to kill Dongfang Shuo.

Dongfang Shuo said, if this is fairy wine, I will not die even if I kill him, because I am already an immortal. If it is not fairy wine, why kill me? Just ordinary wine? What is the use of this wine?

Emperor Wu heard about it and laughed it off.

For another example, Liu Biao also liked drinking. In order to enjoy the fun of drinking, he specially made Sanjue.

The grand title is "Bo Ya", the middle title is "Zhong Ya", the minor title is "Ji Ya"...pour seven, six and five liters of wine respectively.

When a banquet is held, all guests are expected to be drunk. A large iron needle is also prepared at the banquet. If someone is found drunk, he will be pricked with the iron needle to see if he is really drunk or fake.

This shows how obsessed the Han people are with wine!

It is precisely because of this that when Huang Chengyan heard that Guan Lin said that there were process drawings for making spirits, Huang Chengyan's expectations were broken.

We can look forward to it…

It's been a whole morning, but where is this guy's figure?

It’s been a lonely wait!

So Huang Chengyan rode on the donkey, took the empty wine gourd, and went out of the villa to get wine from the village. He never expected to run into Zhang Fei directly.

Originally, it was okay if we bumped into each other.

Who would have thought that Zhang Fei shouted, "So you are that Huang Laoxie."

These words... Huang Chengyan was immediately startled.

——Is he Huang Laoxie with a hammer?

Are you already angry with that boy Guan Lin?

It's good now, here comes a black guy, and he talks about Huang Laoxie.

Damn, that brat "Huang Laoxie" has come and poured it now. He will have a place to drink his liquor, so he won't be lonely waiting all morning!

Immediately, Huang Chengyan asked Zhang Fei directly, "What is Mr. Huang?"

Zhang Fei raised his voice: "Huang Laoxie!"

Huang Chengyan seemed to be deaf, and then asked: "What old evil?"

Zhang Fei spoke in a clear tone this time, "Huang Laoxie!"

Huang Chengyan opened his mouth again: "What's wrong with Huang?"

Zhang Fei was speechless. He immediately spread his hands and changed his words: "Yes... yes, there is no Huang Laoxie here. Lao Huang, are you going to get a drink?"

Huang Chengyan nodded, "Yes!"

then…

Under Huang Chengyan's selective ears, the two of them came to the farm, just waiting to have a meal.

Wine and food were placed on the table one after another, but Zhang Fei was not in such a mood, and couldn't help but ask: "Old Huang? Could it be that... you are not Huang Laoxie?"

"Huang Lao what?" Huang Chengyan repeated his old tricks.

have to…

Zhang Fei had no choice but to change the topic and then asked: "Old man Huang, you always know who Hong Qigong is, right?"

"Hong, Mr. Hong?"

Following Huang Chengyan's words, Zhang Fei stretched out his hand and gave himself a big slap with a "pop" sound.

He knew he was wrong.

Don’t ask, you shouldn’t ask at all!

…He directly picked up a bowl of wine and drank it all in one gulp.

Zhuge Liang also asked him to visit Lao Huang?

I'm sorry, I came to the suburbs of Xicheng to visit a lonely person.

Drink and eat!

You must get your money back!

Huang Chengyan looked at Zhang Fei and said nothing, grinning slightly with a faint smile, muttering in his heart.

——"The trick that brat said... is really useful!" 』

After three rounds of wine and delicious food... Huang Chengyan was full and ready to leave...

Zhang Fei quickly followed.

In this way, Huang Chengyan rode a donkey and Zhang Fei followed him on foot.

The two of them walked into the villa together.

At this time, in the "Mianshui" Villa, workshops and forgings stretched as far as the eye could see.

Behind the villa, there are small thatched houses and earthen houses. These houses rise and fall along the foot of the mountain... From time to time, craftsmen will walk out of them, and craftsmen will also return there to rest.

A large number of craftsmen are working hard at forging, and every forge and workshop has erected a chimney, with black smoke billowing from the chimney into the air.

The one closest to the road in the villa is a martial arts arena.

Some finished crossbows, sidecars, wooden oxen and horses need to be tried here to make sure they are flawless.

Zhang Fei was playful and saw a craftsman trying out a repeating crossbow.

He couldn't help but replace the craftsman, and with the sound of "swish, swish", ten consecutive crossbows were shot out at the same time. The huge recoil made Zhang Fei's strong chest feel a pain!

And in front of...

All ten crossbow bolts were engulfed in a huge boulder, and there were many small holes in the boulder, as if... they were left behind when other repeating crossbows were tested.

"Good boy..." Zhang Fei couldn't help but exclaimed: "This thing is so powerful!"

Although, since coming to Jiangling, he has heard about the Lian Nu countless times, and everyone says it is a magical weapon.

But...just how godly is he?

Zhang Fei couldn't think clearly with his spatial imagination.

But now...well!

He said it with his own eyes, Zhang Fei thought, if the stone steps could be shot through, wouldn't ordinary armor be just like cotton?

So much so that Zhang Fei felt that if he were to be hit by the crossbow arrow at close range, no matter how strong his bones were, they would still be penetrated, and there would be no life left!

"This thing...if you keep a distance, it's no less powerful than my eight-foot-long snake spear!"

Zhang Fei shouted and put down his repeating crossbow.

Just when he put it down, Zhang Fei saw the words "Huang Laoxie" written on it.

Suddenly, he had an idea... and thought of something.

He immediately chased Huang Chengyan's donkey.

This time he didn't ask about "Huang Laoxie" and "Hong Qigong". He said directly: "Old Man Huang, this crossbow is so easy to use. No matter what, you have to give me one!"

Based on this old acquaintance, it stands to reason that Huang Chengyan should not refuse.

I never thought...

With the sound of "hush", Huang Chengyan stopped the donkey's footsteps.

He turned around and looked at Zhang Fei seriously.

"I only make these repeating crossbows in this villa, but I don't care about delivering them!"

"Then who's in charge of delivering it? Just tell me and I'll go find him!"

Zhang Fei answered quickly.

Huang Chengyan said without hesitation: "If you want to ask for it, go to that brat Guan Lin. He has the final say on this serial crossbow!"

As he spoke, Huang Chengyan planned to drive the donkey again.

I never thought that Zhang Fei's eyes would definitely be different.

He laughed and said: "Haha, I know...it turns out that Huang Laoxie is actually that boy Guan Lin!"

Saying so...

Zhang Fei was filled with joy.

——"Dear me, this Huang Laoxie that everyone talks about is the son-in-law of my old Zhang!" Ha ha ha ha…"

I don't know if he thought he was "as witty as him" and was able to pull out Huang Chengyan's words.

I still feel that...this "prospective son-in-law" is Huang Laoxie, how can Zhang Fei be the same as Yourong!

For a moment, Zhang Fei was extremely happy.

On the other hand, Huang Chengyan slapped his forehead...

I muttered in my heart.

——'Oops, this black Zhang Fei got in! 』

——"This guy, when did he learn to be both rough and fine?" 』

…

…

The boiling water was bubbling, and hot smoke was rising from the warm wine.

Liu Zhen took out the hot wine from the wine pot and poured it for Li Miao.

Li Miao had been silent for a long time before.

Liu Zhen opened his mouth and said: "There is a saying in "Six Tao": 'With a sword you must cut, and with an ax you must cut.' Opportunities arise. When you need to make up your mind about something, you need to make a decisive decision!"

"Are you from Cao Cao?"

Liu Zhen smiled and said, "My dear Liu Zhen, I am the second-rate Liu Zhen in Mr.'s eyes who is 'good at thinking and strong, fresh and vigorous, more energetic than his writing, and not enough in his carvings'."

Despite saying this, Liu Zhen was not angry at all, nor did he mind.

On the contrary, if Li Miao showed kindness everywhere, Liu Zhen would become suspicious!

"It turns out that Your Excellency is Liu Zhen..." Li Miao hesitated deliberately. He waited for Liu Zhen to finish the glass of wine before speaking again, "Your Excellency first showed kindness to me, and then took out Cao Cao's "Order to Seek Talent." Now He even said, 'The sword will cut, the ax will cut', Miao dared to ask Your Excellency, Your Excellency, you said it was an opportunity? I wonder what kind of opportunity it was?"

Liu Zhen smiled: "Brother Li is a very smart person. Since he has read the "Ling for Seeking Talents", why do you need to ask me? This glass of wine congratulates Brother Li for abandoning the dark and turning to the light. From then on, he abandons the old and pursues the new, and regains his new life!"

"I'm ashamed. The three dragons of the Li family have lived in Bashu for a long time. They are rough people in the mountains. They are not talented and have little knowledge. They are unable to understand the profound meaning of your Excellency!"

Liu Zhen sighed, "Good birds choose trees to roost in, and good ministers choose their masters to serve. These... I shouldn't mention the words in "Zuo Zhuan". I only ask sir, Zhuge Kongming is in Bashu, but why is his brother Zhuge Jin here? Soochow? The Pang clan in Xiangyang, Pang Tong voted for Liu Bei? Why did the people of Pangshan vote for Prime Minister Cao? Let’s talk about the Xun clan in Yingchuan, far away, why did Xun Chen vote for Yuan Shao and Xun Yu voted for Cao Gong? "

Li Miao asked. "What on earth are you going to say?"

Liu Zhen hesitated for a moment, "I shouldn't have mentioned these things, but I couldn't bear Mr. Li's secret betrayal. Throughout the ages, in troubled times, how many families have there been? How many children have defected to three parties? Each is his own master? Could it be that... they Are they all unfaithful? Now that Mr. Li is being humiliated in Bashu and Jingzhou, why should he hang himself from a tree?"

"In the past, I had a good chat with Mr. Zijian, and he said, 'My husband has ambitions all over the world, and he is still close to his neighbors thousands of miles away!' There is another saying in "Chu Ci", 'Would you rather compete with the yellow swans? Will you compete with the chickens and swans for food?' Those who seek change will succeed, and those who do not seek refuge will advance! Is Mr. Li willing to spend his whole life in this land of Jingshu, suffering humiliation and doing nothing?"

call…

Li Miao was slightly startled.

——"It's true that I can't do nothing, but...you can't give me what I want!" Cao Cao can't afford it! 』

I thought so.

Li Miao pretended to be calm, but there was annoyance in his voice.

"Maybe... you are right!"

Liu Zhen shook his head, "With all due respect, Mr. Li is talented, but arrogant and unruly. There is only one person in the world who can be loyal to Duke Cao. Duke Cao 'appreciates talents regardless of their conduct', he only promotes talents..." Duke Cao sighed. 'The Duke of Zhou spits out nourishment, and the world returns to its heart'! If Mr. Li wants to become famous, the only place he can choose is under Cao Gong! Cao Gong is also eager to see through Mr. Li!"

this…

Hearing this... Li Miao deliberately held the wine glass tightly, looking like he had been upset for a long time but still worried.

"But... Zhuzi Guan Lin humiliated me. He took off my clothes twice in a row and made it obvious to everyone? I, Li Miao, am so unworthy? Am I worthy of surrendering to Duke Cao?"

"Hahaha..." Liu Zhen laughed and said: "In the past, Mi Heng took off his clothes and beat the drums. The drums were so loud that Mr. Cao was deafened by the sound. After all, he lived in Jingzhou and became Liu Biao's guest! Ni Heng died! Later, Duke Cao repeatedly mentioned that I would never hear Ni Heng’s sonorous drums again!”

"Today... if Mr. Li is in Jingzhou, everyone will be humiliated, but if he goes north, then... Mr. Li taking off his clothes... is enough to shame the Guan family and his son, shame Liu Xuande, and expose his face to the public! By then! , Mr. Li will definitely be a guest at Duke Cao’s throne, and Mr. Li will definitely be able to beat the sonorous drum again!”

Liu Zhen drank it all in one gulp and finally told all the reasons for his coming here.

Li Miao felt that the time was almost ripe and immediately handed it over.

——"Thanks to Duke Cao's request for talents, I am flattered. I hope... Brother Liu will recommend you."

——"Brother Li is very talented, and he is the talent that Duke Cao is looking forward to! After this drink, Brother Li will wait a few days for me to make arrangements. You and I will go north together to visit Duke Cao!"

--"please!"

--"please!"

…

…

——"Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, that Huang Laoxie is actually this kid Guan Lin!"

Zhang Fei was very embarrassed.

He couldn't help but get closer to Huang Chengyan, "Old man Huang, look at me... am I a little thinner than before?"

"hehe…"

Faced with Zhang Fei's joking sarcasm, Huang Chengyan glanced at him and said, "If you continue to talk nonsense, I will issue an eviction order!"

"Expulsion order? Hahaha... Who can expel me, Zhang Fei?" Zhang Fei patted his chest, "I'm not telling you, these craftsmen in your villa can shoot a repeating crossbow, but if they fight me, a thousand of them can't move me. Not even a cent.”

"Repay a thousand, and you'll lose one repeating crossbow." Huang Chengyan said casually...

At this time, Zhang Fei felt a little embarrassed and scratched his head.

But soon, he was smiling again, with a fickle temper like a child, "Hahaha... Since that kid Guan Lin made a repeating crossbow, how could he shoot me? Old Man Huang, you know that kid has to What are you calling me for?"

"What?"

"Father-in-law!" Zhang Fei puffed up his chest and assumed the posture of a paunchy father-in-law... He didn't forget to shout, "This kid has a bright head, but it's hard for a hero to be a beauty, so I just watched... I like this guy. I’m a daughter.”

this…

When Zhang Fei said this, Huang Chengyan couldn't help but look at him.

Sure enough, this black Zhang Fei has made a lot of progress!

It’s more than rough and fine!

It's just... really thin!

They all know that "it is difficult for a hero to be a beauty"... and they know how to let the girl lock up this guy "Guan Lin" first.

The so-called "strong man locks up men!"

There's something there, but not much!

Huang Chengyan smiled and said perfunctorily: "If you can be that brat's father-in-law, you have to discipline him for me and make him obedient. Send me all the drawings in his mind."

"It's hard to say..." Zhang Fei smiled. "This is what I say!"

While the two were chatting heatedly, Zhang Fei asked again.

"Old Man Huang, you really don't know...who is Hong Qigong? Or...since Huang Laoxie is Guan Lin, then Hong Qigong can't be you, right?"

Zhang Fei was thinking that everyone called "Hong Qigong" an old man.

How many such elusive old people are there in Jingzhou?

This question is thrown.

He looked at Huang Chengyan with great sincerity, eager to get the answer.

It's just... Huang Chengyan's answer was very straightforward.

——"Hong, Mr. Hong?"

——"What kind of Qi Gong is here?"

Well…

At this time, Zhang Fei was speechless. He reached out and knocked on his forehead, but he forgot about it again.

Huang Chengyan, on the other hand, felt that enough trouble had been made. He breathed softly and slowly opened his mouth.

"To tell you the truth, I am not Hong Qigong. As for who Hong Qigong is? I don't know either, but...I can tell that this Hong Qigong is a friend rather than an enemy. If he is sure that he is a friend and not an enemy, then why bother asking for the details? What? Doesn’t he have a greater effect when he is hidden in the dark than when he is in the open?”

Speaking of this, Huang Chengyan paused for a moment and then waved his hand, as if he was planning to issue an order to expel the guest.

"So...are you satisfied? Can you explain it to my son-in-law?"

It's rare for Huang Chengyan to say so many words...

Zhang Fei scratched his head. In fact, his brain circuit decided that he did not understand everything.

But I remembered it, and when Kong Ming asked, he answered like this.

but…

Investigating Hong Qigong was only one of the purposes of his trip.

He came here for another purpose.

"Old Man Huang, actually...your son-in-law told me something? Did you ask me to ask you for advice?"

Well…

Huang Chengyan raised his head slightly.

Zhang Fei said truthfully, "Then Fufeng Renfa Zheng? Do you know?"

Fa Zheng?

This name was not unfamiliar to Huang Chengyan. Fa Zheng's great-grandfather Fa Xiong served as the prefect of Nanjun, and the Fa family had connections with many big families in Jingzhou.

His grandfather Fazhen, named Gaoqing, was a famous scholar in the Eastern Han Dynasty and was known as "Mr. Xuande". He was very knowledgeable in the classics of various schools of thought and prophecies, and was known for his high standards.

Huang Chengyan studied with him when he was young, and he had a half-master-disciple relationship.

Fa Zheng's father, Fa Yan, was Huang Chengyan's classmate in official school when he was young.

It's just... It's a pity that after Fa Yan was promoted to Xiaolian, he died of illness on the road when he was appointed Tingwei Zuojian.

According to legend...it was a disease that could lead to sudden death.

Because of this, Fazheng was raised by his grandfather until he was ten years old. His grandfather was very worried that Fazheng would also inherit his father's disease.

——"Could it be..."

Huang Chengyan already had a slight suspicion in his heart.

Zhang Fei's words confirmed his suspicion.

"It is this Fa Zheng that makes my eldest brother so fond of it. This Fa Zheng indeed made a lot of contributions when we entered Sichuan. He has some abilities, but... he has a disease! A strange disease that cannot be explained. !”

After hearing this, Huang Chengyan was already sure...

He asked back: "But... I often have chest tightness and pain, accompanied by profuse sweating, nausea, difficulty breathing, and frequent fainting!"

Zhang Fei rolled his eyes when he heard this.

"It's not bad at all, how do you know?"

Huang Chengyan let out a long sigh, "His father and I were classmates, and his father died suddenly like this!"

"Ah...sudden death?" Zhang Fei was stunned and was about to ask Huang Chengyan if there was anything he could do.

If nothing else... introduce a famous doctor or something.

Huang Chengyan seemed to have expected Zhang Fei's words, and he sighed.

Be the first to say:

——"His father, Fayan, was looking for a wise doctor, but in the end... he couldn't explain any disease clearly, let alone cure it!"

As if recalling some unbearable past event, Huang Chengyan's face suddenly darkened.

And this sudden cold atmosphere made Zhang Fei's heart thump.

His subconscious feeling was...

It’s over, it’s over!

I'm looking for a famous doctor from Eggplant!

Fa Xiaozhi, Fa Xiaozhi...he...he...isn't it definitely because he's basking in the sun after autumn - it will get cold sooner or later!

Admittedly, Zhang Fei thought so.

But Zhang Fei would never know.

What does Fazheng's death mean to Shu Han...?

It is too much to say that "when the waves fall, the building will collapse", but there is a comment in the history books that "if the Dharma does not die, there will be no Three Kingdoms."

This is a bit much.

But this also illustrates from the side the importance of Fa Zheng to Shu Han!

It is no exaggeration to say that if Fa Zheng were present, many historical stories about the Shu Han would be rewritten!

…

…
