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

Chapter 520 My son is really good at stealing homes——

——Sun Quan quietly sent his two daughters to Jiangling to be brought up by Guan Lin!

——There is no need to attack Lujiang, the entire Jiangdong will surrender!

As these words came out, Zhang Zhao and Zhang Cheng felt thunder rolling in their ears.

It was more like a roar of five thunders, crashing down...

The father and son looked at each other for a long time, opening their mouths but unable to say a single word.

However, if you want to say that this is a rumor, then Guan Lin did remove Guan Yu and replaced Mi Fang... Considering the current situation, even if Lujiang insists, can it be defended for many years?

Isn't this enough to explain the problem?

——"Oh my god...no, it's Soochow that's going to change!" 』

Just as Zhang Zhao moaned softly.

The guests at the tea stall were talking more and more about this, and their conversations were becoming more and more frequent.

"That being the case? Why should Lujiang hold on? I can hear it... Then Sun Quan reformed the government, subsidized the military families, and re-measured and distributed the land... Aren't these all for the sake of letting the frontline soldiers hold on? To boost their morale? They are all about to surrender. , then why bother boosting morale?”

"You don't understand this. Our Fourth Young Master Guan hasn't sent out the flying ball yet, but Lujiang City has been surrounded by everyone. The strength of the strong and the weak is obvious. Holding on is just delaying time. But as the leader of Soochow, Sun Quan, even if he Jiang, he always cares about his reputation before and after his death, he doesn’t want future generations to laugh at him!”

The speaker was an old man. While stroking his white beard, he sighed with great certainty: "For the sake of his reputation as a lord who does not surrender, he surrendered secretly, but he still had to show off in public, so that he could not protect everything... Lujiang City is his certificate of surrender? When we take off the fourth son's flying ball into the sky and intimidate Lujiang, when... Sun Quan surrenders again, then when future generations talk about it, it can only be to defeat the city and avoid the loss of life, and It’s not that before the city is broken, we should first beg for surrender... In this way, we will have both face and dignity..."

The old man finished speaking.

The people around him said "Oh", as if they all suddenly realized something.

A younger man speculated and opened his mouth, "It turns out that even if you want to surrender, there are so many twists and turns..."

"You are still young..." The old man looked like he was relying on his old age, "It's not difficult to win well, but it's easy to lose well, and there's a lot of knowledge involved -"

As the old man finished speaking...

The faces of father and son Zhang Zhao and Zhang Cheng were almost ashen, although they still had some incredible doubts.

But... Zhang Zhao knows Sun Quan too well. He is a gloomy person... Others may not be able to do this kind of thing, but he... can definitely do it!

"father…"

"Shhh...walk away first."

Before his son Zhang Cheng could open his mouth, Zhang Zhao had already pulled him up and walked away...

Zhang Cheng couldn't help but ask: "Dad, is this true?"

Zhang Zhao paused, pondered for a moment, and then said softly: "If it is fake, then why did Guan Si transfer back to Guan Yunchang?"

this…

It seems that in Zhang Zhao's subjective imagination, this is already an ironclad fact.

At this moment, officials from Jiangling City arrived.

"The two envoys are here. Master Yunqi summoned them and specially sent his subordinates to greet them -"

Well…

Because of those rumors, Guan Lin's summons... made Zhang Cheng inexplicably nervous.

However, Zhang Zhao seemed to have accepted this fact calmly, or in other words, he also wanted to confirm his conjecture through a conversation with Guan Lin.

Immediately, he cupped his hands and said, "Your Excellency, please lead the way——"

…

…

Although he was greatly touched, Sun Quan was still not suitable to stay in that old woman's house.

The smell, the atmosphere, and the mood were all too much for him to accept...

After he asked the soldiers to distribute the "money and food", he walked out of the door silently.

Lu Meng also followed out...following Sun Quan.

Sun Quan pondered for a long time and then said, "I never thought that the thing that I value the least is the only thing left in this time of crisis... that can help me... Anyway, this is a good thing after all... Go back!"

As he spoke, Sun Quan was about to get on the carriage...

But Lu Meng took a quick step and added, "My lord, just now... Mr. Gu of the Gu family asked to see my lord..."

"Gu Yong?"

Sun Quan repeated the name.

You must know that before... Gu Yong has always been regarded as his "staff" and "think tank" because of his important role in the wealthy family. Many things he did, including the deaths of Taishi Ci and Zhou Yu, were indispensable for Gu Yong's participation.

But now... Because of the need to coerce the big clan and suppress the clan, all the heads of the Qian clan, including Gu Yong, have been imprisoned...

Speaking of which, Sun Quan hadn't seen Gu Yong for a few days.

In Sun Quan's world, everything is black and white. If you can't stand on the same ground, he won't have the slightest pity or affection!

"Has there ever been a lack of food for him in the palace?" Sun Quan asked carefully...

This sentence made Lu Meng immediately know what Sun Quan was thinking, and he quickly replied: "Not at all... I sent someone to reject Mr. Gu!"

Sun Quan paused, pondered for a moment, and then sighed: "Ziming, in the past, I was between Taishi Ci and the big clan, and between Zhou Lang and the big clan, I chose these big clans, but this time, I chose these big clans. You are the one chosen, Gu has already done what you said, Gu cannot let the foundation of the three generations of the Sun family be destroyed by Gu's generation... Even if he uses these people, Gu cannot let Lujiang make any mistakes!"

"I understand..." Lu Meng held up his hands, but raised his eyes, as if he had something else to say: "My lord, I have one more thing, I don't know whether I should talk about it or not..."

"It's this time, what are you afraid of? You tell me..." Sun Quan turned around and looked directly at Lu Meng, looking directly at this person who he regarded as the last life-saving straw. He seemed to have expected what Lu Meng was going to say, and said in advance: "Zi What Ming is talking about is the soldiers and horses composed of this big tribe? Gu also knows that they serve Gu because of coercion, but take a look at it, are there any soldiers in Jiangdong? Gu can only give you such a soldier Horse!"

"That's not what I want to say..." Lu Meng handed over his hands and said solemnly: "It was reported by fishermen on the beach that they discovered islands overseas..."

"But Danzhou?" Sun Quan asked subconsciously.

The so-called Danzhou is recorded in "Historical Records: The Chronicles of Qin Shihuang": - So thousands of young men and women were sent from Xu city to go into the sea to seek immortals.

To put it simply, Xu Fu took the boys and girls to ask for the elixir of immortality for Qin Shihuang, and then went to "Little Day" to establish a city-state...

Subdue the local indigenous people, bring them the productivity and seeds of the Central Plains, and then reproduce them from generation to generation.

Finally establishing a kingdom…

The so-called Yamatai Kingdom and the Japanese Kingdom that followed were both established on the legendary Danzhou.

Therefore, Sun Quan subconsciously thought of Danzhou mentioned in "Historical Records"...

"This...is really not Danzhou..." Lu Meng explained: "The fishermen call it Yizhou. They say it is in the southeast of Linhai County. It is two thousand miles away from the county. The land is frost-free and the vegetation is immortal. It is surrounded by mountains on all sides. Where the barbarians live... each title is a king, everyone has a kuntou, and the ears are pierced, but women do not have their ears pierced. They build a house and plant thorns for fanzhang. The land is fertile, producing grains and fish. Uncles, aunts, sons and fathers, men and women sleep in bed We share a bed. When we meet, we don’t avoid each other.”

this…

Sun Quan didn't understand Lu Meng's meaning for a while, but sighed: "I didn't expect that there are such uncivilized folk customs overseas.

There is no sense of propriety, justice or shame..."

etc…

After chanting these words, Sun Quan suddenly realized something, "Ziming, what do you mean?"

Lu Meng said solemnly, "Lord, why don't we occupy Yizhou... There are countless strong men on the island. They are all brave and powerful, but they don't have iron weapons. They are no match for us. But if we collect them, they will be our opponents." A strong army, retreat ten thousand steps... Even if the training of this island's soldiers and horses fails, if the situation changes, the last general can still escort the lord to have a place to retreat... In today's world, apart from me, Soochow, no one can To achieve such an ocean voyage... My lord cannot be the king of Jiangdong, but he is also the lord of Yizhou and avoids disaster. The Guan family and his son can only look back and sigh, beyond the reach of the whip - "

Sure enough... it's a retreat!

Lu Meng's words confirmed Sun Quan's conjecture.

He looked at Lu Meng in surprise, pondered for a long time, and then solemnly ordered: "Send Wei Wen. He is good at ocean navigation. Gu gives him five thousand soldiers and horses. This Yizhou... must be defeated by Gu -"

…

…

"The weather is getting colder. Let's eat dumplings today to dispel the cold——"

At noon, following the call from a woman in the Guan family mansion, crowds of people immediately rushed towards her.

Guan Lin, who was at the stone pavilion, didn't have to compete with his servants for dumplings. Someone had already prepared several bowls for him in advance.

"Don't even look at it. Aunt Ji is right. When the cold weather comes, eat these dumplings stuffed with mutton and herbs to get rid of the cold... There's nothing better than this. Come on, everyone, sit down..."

While they were talking, several large tables had been put together in the stone pavilion, where fruits, food, wine and vegetables were all available. The hot dumplings were served on the table one after another like running water, with a thick white vapor and a fragrant aroma.

Shi Wu, Mi Lu, Gan Ning, Hao Zhao and others who were guarding Guan Lin were not polite and sat down one after another.

The kitchen had already prepared a small dish of chives, ginger and vinegar for the general to dip his dumplings into.

Having said that, dumplings were invented by Zhang Zhongjing, but they were not called dumplings at first. They were named Quhan Jiaoer Tang, but Guan Lin directly changed the name to dumplings.

Who would have thought that this dumpling would become popular in Jingzhou, and every family would eat it during the winter.

The most delicious thing is dumplings.

Gan Ning was very careless, seeing that the small plate was not satisfying, so he directly changed it to a larger bowl. Shi Wu didn't care so much, but it seemed that Guan Lin and Hao Zhao had become the most polite ones.

In Guan Fuzhong, Aunt Ji who makes dumplings... Seeing that the dumplings she made are so popular, her eyes have already turned into slits with laughter, and she directly brought the second round of dumplings that she had just cooked in the pot... towards everyone on the plate.

However, this large iron pot with a diameter of two feet was filled with boiling water and raw dumplings. She, a woman, obviously overestimated her own strength. She couldn't hold it anymore and was about to fall down.

At this moment…

A pair of powerful hands came out of nowhere and picked up the big iron pot for her, as easily as an eagle catching a chicken.

Everyone looked carefully, but who else could it be if it wasn't Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang?

"Second...Second General——"

At this moment... Aunt Na Ji quickly saluted, but forgot that he was still dragging one side of the big iron pot.

But it doesn't matter, Guan Yu has completely taken over, and he will add dumplings to everyone's plates instead.

"Second General, you can't do this..."

Hao Zhao is young, and he has never seen such a posture before, with the elders and younger ones in order, the nobles and the inferiors, how can he let Guan Yu add dumplings to him? He stood up quickly...

"sit down…"

But Guan Yu opened his mouth and said: "In the battle of Changsha, you had less than 2,000 troops, but you defended the attack of 20,000 Dongwu troops. You made Na Lu Meng faint, and Ding Feng died in the battle. Such a record is beyond the reach of even Guan. Why can’t I order a plate of dumplings for you?”

Well…

Guan Yu's words made Hao Zhao dumbfounded, as if he was telling the truth.

It is true that he has received many awards for his achievements since returning to Jiangling, but this dumpling from Guan Yu makes him feel even more precious.

After adding dumplings to Hao Zhao, Guan Yu personally added dumplings to Gan Ning and Shi Wu...

Shiwu and Gan Ning looked at each other and shouted: "I can't do it..."

Guan Yu still said expressionlessly, "General Shi escorted my son Zhou Quan, Guan, you are the most worthy of this dumpling... As for General Gan Xingba, hundreds of cavalry robbed Cao's camp, and shocked the world... Originally Soochow Among all the civil and military officials, if there is one person whom Guan admires, it is you who is willing to dominate..."

"In addition, this time General Gan led the Jinfan brothers to fly into the sky, causing the sea of ​​​​fire in Fancheng. He succeeded in the battle and became famous all over the world. Although Guan's Guan family army is good at land and water warfare, it is not as good as Gan's. The general’s brotherly army is gathered together by sea, land and air——”

Gan Ning was shocked at first to be praised by Guan Yu, who was always arrogant and arrogant.

Then...he quickly handed over his hand, feeling cautious as he didn't know how to respond...

I was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Guan Yu saw what he was thinking and patted him on the shoulder quickly, "Eat dumplings, eat dumplings... If there is a chance, Guan would like to learn General Gan's unparalleled martial arts skills..."

"Hahaha, this is easy to say, Gan Ning is always with you..."

Gan Ning responded.

For a time, because of Guan Yu's appearance, the atmosphere of eating dumplings here became much more enthusiastic and lively.

Guan Lin was also surprised.

——"The current father is very human..."

——"This sentence says that emotional intelligence is soaring..."

Seeing that there was still a plate of dumplings left in Guan Yu's pot, but only Guan Lin's bowl was empty on the table, Guan Lin thought... that his father would praise him next.

He is the chief architect of this reversal of the situation and the biggest contributor!

Who would have thought that Guan Yu didn't have money to manage Guan Lin, but instead asked for a plate and put all the dumplings in the pot on the plate. Then he looked at Guan Lin casually from the corner of his eye, and he said with a smile:

"Your father will appear here. Don't you plan to explain something to your father?"

this…

Guan Lin thought of 10,000 scenarios in which his father, Guan Yu, came back to investigate because he was "deposed of military power."

I also echoed them one by one and thought of the way to answer and the answer, but... Dad's words are a bit calm now...

Guan Lin was thinking about how to answer...

"Young Master..." A civil servant came to Guan Lin's side, "Zhang Zhao and his son are here, right outside the door..."

Following this sound, Guan Lin's eyes lit up with a "swish", and then...his eyes narrowed to a slit, and he did not bother to respond to his father Guan Yu, and immediately gave the order quite seriously:

"Everything is going according to plan-"

…

…

Under the guidance of a civil servant, Zhang Zhao passed by the west side road and stepped into the Moon Gate of the main courtyard of Guan Mansion. In the distance, he could see Guan Lin in the stone pavilion high up, and Guan Yu was also there. There were several stone pavilions. Set up a table, and the soup on it is steaming...

"Zhang Changshi, the young master is right in front..." The clerk stretched out his hand to signal.

Zhang Zhao agreed, while Zhang Cheng deliberately adjusted his clothes and puffed up his chest, and then a father and son stepped forward together.

at this time…

I saw someone stepping in first in the small courtyard between two or three doors.

Originally this was just a small episode.

After all, this kind of coincidence happens from time to time, but... Zhang Zhao and Zhang Cheng couldn't help but be stunned when they saw the few people in front of them.

Because they were behind...the people in front didn't notice them, so they walked as usual...

But Zhang Zhao and Zhang Cheng saw it clearly.

The people who appeared in front of me were the ones who had disappeared for several months—Sun Shangxiang, Sun Luban, and Sun Luyu!

this…

Zhang Zhao couldn't help but pause in his steps. He was shocked at how these missing names could appear here.

He couldn't help but think of the rumors in the market...

——"Did my lord...really give the two princesses to Guan Lin as a child, in order to... surrender?" 』

——"If this is really the case, then...then what does this mean to me and my son?" What about the tens of thousands of soldiers in Lujiang who resisted desperately? What does their perseverance mean? 』

Zhang Zhao couldn't help but daydream...

The civil servant leading the way saw him stop and reminded him: "Master Yunqi is in front, why doesn't Zhang Changshi leave..."

"I..." Zhang Zhao casually found an excuse, "The weather has turned cold, and I suddenly felt some pain in my stomach. I would be embarrassed in front of Mr. Yun Qi. Please allow me to take a breather..."

"It doesn't matter..." The civil servant seemed very considerate and walked aside, leaving Zhang Zhao and Zhang Cheng to look towards the stone pavilion.

"Dad..." Zhang Cheng seemed to have a lot to say, or to be precise, he had a lot of questions.

Zhang Zhao pretended to cover his stomach with one hand, and raised the other hand to signal his son not to say or do anything. They just watched all this quietly.

"Tap-ta-"

As Sun Shangxiang, Sun Luyu, and Sun Luban walked in front of Guan Lin, Zhang Zhao's peripheral vision almost stuck to the stone pavilion.

Just when he desperately wanted to know the "truth".

There was a "click" sound, and then... Sun Shangxiang, Sun Luyu, and Sun Luban all knelt down towards Guan Lin.

One was the upright "Mrs. Sun" of young age, and the other two were upright princesses of the Sun family... They just knelt down in front of Guan Lin in a daze, regardless of their status.

Just Sun Luyu and Sun Luban...

But Sun Shangxiang, in name... she was still Guan Lin's "mistress"... She actually knelt down, and looking at Guan Lin's look, it was obvious... he seemed to accept all this happily.

So calm, so calm.

On the contrary, Guan Yu beside him was a little surprised. He wanted to help Sun Shangxiang up, but Guan Lin reached out to stop him...

Guan Lin's actions seemed to illustrate an established fact. Within this stone pavilion, he was the supreme one, and no one could shake his authority.

"Father, it seems... Wuhou has really surrendered... otherwise, this... this..."

Halfway through Zhang Cheng's sentence, he suddenly became speechless.

Zhang Zhao stretched out his hand as usual to stop him from continuing, but... this time, his arms were trembling, trembling... as cold as ice.

Next, what Zhang Zhao saw was Guan Lin holding Sun Luyu in his arms unscrupulously, and then giving some condescending orders to Sun Shangxiang and Sun Luban.

He was like an emperor...as if the woman in front of him and everything in front of him were completely controlled by him.

This scene is so... so shocking.

In fact, not only Zhang Zhao and his son, but also Guan Yu didn't expect... He hadn't seen him for several months, and the surprise this son gave him refreshed his knowledge again and again.

Surrender?

Are these three women in front of me, including Sun Shangxiang, the nominal "mistress", completely surrendered to Guan Lin?

——"My son is really good at stealing homes!" 』

…

…

Perhaps because of Guan Yu's return, Guan Lin specially prepared a banquet to welcome his father.

However, only Guan Yu knew that the banquet was not for him, but rather for the father and son Zhang Zhao and Zhang Cheng who came from Soochow to catch up.

During the banquet, there were Guan Yu, Guan Lin and his son, Lu Xun, Lu Yan and his son, Gan Ning and a few confidant generals, Su Shuang and Sun Jiao were all there...

There are also Ma Liang and many officials in Jingzhou.

Zhang Zhao and Zhang Cheng were the chief guests. They were very particular about all etiquette and never neglected anything.

Guan Yu did not speak, and watched his son quietly, recalling in his mind the words of Sun Shangxiang, Sun Luyu, and Sun Luban who had just knelt down to his son, greeted him, and sworn their surrender, and also thought of the words Guan Lin mentioned, "Everything is going according to plan"...

Although Guan Yu didn't know what Guan Lin said, he had a strong premonition.

——‘I’m afraid someone is going to be unlucky! 』

At this time, Guan Lin raised his glass and said: "Both the Northern Expedition and the Eastern Expedition were completely successful. Xudu was conquered and Chaisang was captured. This is a double happiness, but the even greater joy is more than that."

Ma Liang said, "I haven't seen Mr. Yunqi for a long time. Now that Mr. Yunqi is saying happy things, I have to listen attentively."

At this time, Lu Xun stood up and bowed his hands to Guan Yu, and then to Guan Lin, "Lu Xun congratulates General Guan and Mr. Yunqi for acquiring countless talents from Jiangdong!"

"Hahaha..." Guan Lin smiled, and he also turned towards Guan Yu, "Father, the one who knows me is Lu Boyan. I also congratulate my father... I am so happy to have such a talented person!"

Guan Yu picked up the wine bottle and drank it all in one gulp, which was a response to Guan Lin and a signal to Guan Lin that he could continue his performance.

Guan Yu's current mind was not on the banquet, but on his son's conspiracy beneath the surface.

Guan Lin went on to say, "There are so many talented people in Jiangdong! Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Ke, who are closely related to the Zhuge family, have hundreds of cavalry to rob Cao's camp.

The world-famous Gan Xingba and Jinfan Corps, the national warrior Ling Tong Ling Gongji, the Jiangdong rich family, the handsome gentleman, and the gentle and gentle Lu Boyan... Such virtuous civil and military personnel helped my father and my uncle, how could Jingzhou not contribute? become? How can the big man not be rejuvenated? "

Speaking of this, Guan Lin seemed to have moved his eyes to Zhang Zhao. He paused deliberately and then said, "Oh... I almost forgot, we also have an important minister from Soochow sitting here. I can't decide whether to ask Zhou Yu about foreign affairs or internal affairs." If the matter is still undecided, ask Zhang Zhao... Zhang Changshi has admired him for a long time!"

The topic suddenly came to Zhang Zhao.

Zhang Zhao quickly stood up and said, "I don't dare. Soochow is a small border country. Not to mention the territory of the emperor's uncle, it is far inferior to Jingzhou. The name of Tuogu... is just a rumor. It is not worth mentioning on this big page." Yazhitang, on the contrary... I am here this time to discuss... with Mr. Yunqi on behalf of my lord..."

Before Zhang Zhao could finish speaking, Guan Lin held his hand and said in a rather enthusiastic tone, "Soochow and Jingzhou will soon become a family. There is no such thing as a small border country and an elegant place... As for political affairs, it's just Don’t worry, Zhang Changshi is worried. Marquis Wu and I have exchanged letters for a long time... Come... have a drink, drink, I’ll give Zhang Changshi a drink!"

this…

Without waiting for Zhang Zhao to respond, "Hahahaha..." Gan Ning laughed first, "Master Yunqi is right, Jingzhou and Soochow are about to be integrated into one. From now on, one will be prosperous and one will suffer... I am really happy." , happy for Mr. Yunqi, happy for the second general, happy for Soochow and Jingzhou..."

Following Gan Ning's words, everyone also raised their glasses.

There was no expression on Guan Yu's face. He slowly raised his glass and drank it with everyone.

People dispersed in the wine market... Zhang Zhao and his son wanted to sue for peace and cease the war, but they had no chance, so they had to temporarily live in the wing of Guan Mansion under the leadership of civil servants.

When he arrived at the wing, Zhang Zhao stood still at the door, looking at the bright moon above his head, and said in despair: "There is a tall building in the northwest, and the top is as high as the floating clouds. There are sparse and beautiful windows, and the pavilion has three levels."

Zhang Cheng came to Zhang Zhao's side and said, "I don't care about the pain of the singer, but I am sad that the sound of my friend is rare. I am willing to fly high for the sake of two swans."

He paused for a moment, "This is a tragic song about a woman crying that her husband died on the battlefield. When her father read it, the child felt... his father's sadness and hesitation about the future of Soochow..."

"Alas..." Zhang Zhao was speechless and could only sigh.

At this time, Zhang Cheng took a step closer to him and said, "Dad, when the banquet was over, I met an acquaintance who was a servant of our Zhang family. I used to be kind to him, but I never thought that he would now be a member of the Guan family. The housekeeper…”

Well…

Zhang Zhao raised his eyes in surprise, "But what did you ask him?"

Zhang Cheng, who knows his son better than his father, is not at all concerned about his father seeing through his thoughts, "I expect that after what I have seen and heard in Jiangling in the past two days, as well as what Guan Si just said, my father will definitely want to explore it." , and found the truth, so I asked him, it turns out that tonight... Guan Lin summoned Sun Luyu to sleep with him, but Mrs. Sun and Dahu were also in Guan Mansion, not far from our wing... and there were only a few steps along the way. There will be patrols at specific times. If you avoid it, the child can go to the house of Mrs. Sun and Dahu and ask for the truth!"

Hmm...explore the truth?

Zhang Zhao is a cautious person. He originally wanted to dissuade his son from doing this in Guanfu, but when the words came to his lips, his curiosity and enthusiasm for the truth still drove him not to open his mouth to dissuade him.

Zhang Cheng continued: "Father will wait in the wing for a while, and he will come back after the child has gone..."

"etc…"

Zhang Zhao quickly shouted, "You stay, I'll go..."

"Ah..." Zhang Cheng was surprised.

Zhang Zhao explained: "In the middle of the night, in the dead of night, you, a strong man, go to visit the lady and the princess? What is this?"

"Isn't dad also considered a man?"

"Your father and I are as old as Cao Cao. Who would think wrong at this age?" Zhang Zhao said, and then asked his son to draw a route map, and then he walked out of the courtyard of the wing alone.

However, in the darkness, a few eyes suddenly flickered.

As if in the vast mist, these eyes were peeling off the cocoons, and suddenly caught the cold light in the deepest part.

…

…

Jiangling City leads to Yiling, on the way to Bashu.

A cavalry team was galloping slowly. In the carriage were Liu Chan and Yugao, and outside the carriage was Zhao Yun with more than thirty riders escorting them along the way.

This is an endless stretch of undulating grassland...

Seeing this barren grassland, Zhao Yun couldn't help but think of the past.

His home is in Changshan Zhending Line, where thieves are always robbing villages...

Once again... thieves attacked, and he hid in the wormwood field, but eventually lost his way. He didn't dare to shout loudly for fear of attracting the thieves, so he could only find a way out...

But it was too big here, and he seemed to be lost in this vast sea of ​​wormwood.

Until nightfall, he would collapse in the grass exhausted, looking at the dim moonlight and stars, with a bitter despair in his throat.

There were a few times when he really thought that he might die there like a wild dog... It wasn't until later, when the sun rose, that he discovered that the place where he fell was only a dozen steps away from the edge of the deserted grassland.

He also understood a truth:

--Barry is only half of 90!

Now thinking about this, and then thinking about what Guan Lin told him before he left... Zhao Yun realized that maybe... he was only a dozen steps away from the "edge of the wild grassland" where he was traveling.

Liu Chan was still having a heated discussion in the carriage...

"When I go back, the only thing I have to do is to find a place and open Mianshui Villa...I also want to learn from Master Yunqi and build all kinds of ordnance to impress people... "

This is Liu Chan's imagination...

Yu Dao directly poured cold water on him, "But it seems that opening an arsenal like Mianshui Villa requires a lot of money?"

"Then how does my master make money?" Liu Chan asked, scratching his head.

Yu Tiao also scratched his head, "I heard... In the beginning, Mr. Yun Qi would sell all the valuable things in Guan Mansion!"

this…

Liu Chan couldn't help but fell into deep thought, but soon he exclaimed, "What a great idea... I never thought that there are so many valuable things in the Guan Mansion. My father, General Zuo's Mansion, has even more valuable things... and so on, Wouldn’t the money problem just... be solved!”

Yu Tiao looked at Liu Chan with a blank expression...

I was speechless for a moment.

However, Zhao Yun listened to his ears and felt that "the words of a child are unbridled", but he thought about it again. A treasonous son of the Guan family can stir up the situation in Jingxiang. How about the disciple of the treasonous son of the Guan family? The governance or the Northern Expedition...will be of great benefit?

Zhao Yun was thinking of this.

Without any warning, a subtle and messy clicking sound sounded in my ears.

Zhao Yun suddenly raised his head and stared ahead.

Not long after, the sound of horse hooves like war drums came from far to near, accompanied by flying dust, and stopped suddenly dozens of steps away from the two...

There are more than a hundred cavalry in the cavalry. The countless cavalry in front are all wearing iron armor and holding halberds. This is the standard equipment of the cavalry...

However, the strange thing is that all these cavalrymen are wearing masks, as if they are deliberately covering something up.

"I am Changshan Zhao Zilong, who are you?"

Zhao Yun asked quickly.

But at this moment, the opposite side seemed to have confirmed their identity, and a sharp whistling sound pierced the vast tranquility, attracting everyone to look for the name.

It's the sounding arrow——

Along with the sound of arrows, the blood-colored halberds and spears of the cavalry in front of them were already revealed. The halberds slashed down, and the spears pierced out in layers, like fireworks in full bloom, and they quickly stabbed towards Zhao Yun and his cavalry. Come.

--"this…"

Zhao Yun dodged sideways and stabbed the next enemy rider with a spear, while he couldn't help but thought to himself:

"How could there be an assassination in Jingzhou?" Is it impossible for people from Cao Wei and Soochow to infiltrate here? Then...could it be one of our own——』

…

…
