Section XXIII: Crisis
Guan Yan's heart gradually calmed down as everyone dispersed, the sky gradually brightened, and the corpses on the ground were even more shocking, Guan Yan had never been in such close contact with a dead person, and the six dead people were directly caused by himself, so Guan Yan couldn't help but feel afraid in his heart. But in this era, how is it possible not to kill people? Guan Yan comforted himself as he slowly walked towards his residence. I woke up too early today, and those things happened again, and I was already tired, and when I returned to my lodgings, I fell asleep.
At noon, a quick knock on the door interrupted Guan Yan's good dream, and Guan Yan shouted anxiously: "Who? "It's me." Guan Yan heard that this was Chen Deng's voice: "It's Yuanlong, come in." Chen Deng pushed the door and entered, anxiety overflowing on his face. Guan Yan wondered: "Why is Yuanlong flustered? Chen Deng replied: "The people who were killed today are the sons of the Qingzhou clan and the five generals. After hearing the news, the family went to the assassination mansion to avenge their grievances. Now Tian Qingzhou sent someone to invite his son over, and the messenger was outside. When Guan Yan heard this, he was also a little uneasy in his heart, he just wanted to stand up at that time, and he didn't expect that these people really had backgrounds. Now I really regret that I didn't listen to Chen Deng in the morning, and I will act after thinking about it one or two. But it's too late to say anything, so let's think about how to get through this. Chen Deng thought for a moment and said, "Deng has a plan, or he can solve this difficulty." Guan Yan asked in surprise: "What is the clever plan?" Yuanlong taught me. Chen Deng replied: "Tian Qingzhou is naïve and righteous, if the son is righteous and awe-inspiring, he will not bear to add to the crime." Childe went quickly, and he was afraid that something would change. Guan Yan nodded: "In this case, Yan will go first." After that, Guan Yan hurriedly went out and went to the assassin's mansion with the messenger.
When approaching the Assassin's Mansion, Guan Yan saw a large group of people gathered in front of the Assassin's Mansion, and hurriedly asked the messenger on the side: "Why are so many people gathered in front of the Assassin's Mansion?" The messenger replied: "This morning, after the Li family heard that the clan and family were going to be beheaded, they gathered outside the Assassin's Mansion to ask for an explanation, threatening that if they did not severely punish the adults, they would not enter the official mansion. Guan Yan felt strange: "Why are you so arrogant?" Don't enter the government as a threat? The messenger replied: "Most of the grain and grass in my Qingzhou are supplied by the Li family." Guan Yan suddenly realized, and his heart was even more uneasy, frowning and nodding silently and continuing to walk forward.
Guan Yan squeezed into the crowd and said to Tian Kai: "What did the adults call me?" Tian Kai looked up and saw that it was Guan Yan who came, frowned, and asked anxiously: "You are here, I heard that you beheaded six people in a row today, what crime did you commit?" Guan Yan clenched his fists and replied: "Today is the gathering at the school at three o'clock. At four o'clock, the lower officials sent people to look for them, but the six people were still sleeping in their beds, so they were beheaded. Guan Yan replied very simply, Tian Kai didn't speak, but a slightly chubby middle-aged man next to him spoke first: "If you are a moment late, you will be killed, and the Lord Guan is so powerful!" When Tian Kai heard this, he also looked at Guan Yan to see what he said.
Guan Yan kept Chen Deng's strategy in mind, and replied loudly without changing his face: "Sun Tzu said, 'Who is the master? Who will be capable? Who has heaven and earth? What is the law? Which of the soldiers is stronger? Soldiers' training? What is the reward and punishment? That's how I know what to do. Although a certain officer is a small official, the soldiers are not more than thirty, but the strategy of governing the army, no matter how many soldiers there are and how big and small things are, must be done. Now that the yellow scarves are everywhere, the world is in chaos, and the army should be governed with strict orders. If Lord Wakada does not allow it, he will be punished today, and whether he lives or dies, he will abandon the official and leave. After that, Guan Yan snorted, glanced at everyone, and knelt down on one knee towards Tian Kai.
Tian Kai originally wanted to punish Guan Yan in his heart, but when he heard Guan Yan's words, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he hurriedly helped Guan Yan up and said: "The subordinate governor quickly asks for it, Tian Mou, as the assassin of Qingzhou, how can he frame Zhongliang and do this disloyal and unrighteous thing?" After Tian Kai helped Guan Yan up, he leaned over and looked at the people around him with a straight face: "What Guan Yan did today, this official is very relieved. You should return to the aftermath as soon as possible and remember the lessons. If you still need to ask for an explanation, then you can do what you want, and you will no longer have any contact with the government in the future! When Guan Yan heard this, he calmed down. The slightly chubby middle-aged man panicked a little, and said to Tian Kai: "Tian Thorn History, now that the military is in full swing, the grain and grass are very expensive!" The middle-aged man's words were slightly reminded and threatened, and he wanted to test Tian Kai again.
Guan Yan sneered, grabbed the topic and said, "What about grain and grass?" Xuzhou don't drive Mi Zhu and also have some friendship in the next place, if the adult is interested, Guan can ask Mr. Mi one or two. "Oh~!?" This was beyond Tian Kai's expectations: "Is this true? Guan Yan clenched his fists: "Nature is true." When a certain person returns, he will send someone to Xuzhou. Tian Kai nodded with satisfaction, and looked at the middle-aged man with a smile again, which means, "What else do you have to say?" Sure enough, the middle-aged man lowered his head stupidly, but the resentment in his eyes was unreservedly revealed. At this time, a person with triangular eyes and a thin scholar appeared from behind the middle-aged man, and said softly: "The Governor is not very old, but he has a wide range of knowledge, and he admires him very much!" After saying that, he shook at Guan Yan. Guan Yan naturally wanted to return the courtesy, but he felt that this thin monkey was never so easy to speak, and he was still wary in his heart. Sure enough, the scholar suddenly asked suspiciously: "I heard that Lord Guan is also a child of the clan, I don't know where the clan is?" Guan Yan pretended to be calm and said: "Naturally, it is the land of Qingzhou." The scholar asked: "What county is it, and how many people are in the clan?" This series of questions made Tian Kai feel excessive, Tian Kai frowned and said, "Why is Mr. Feng so rude? The scholar laughed to himself: "Please forgive the student for being abrupt, it's just that the student heard that among the Qingzhou Guan surnames, only the Yellow Turban Thief has a leader surnamed Guan Minghai, and he has never heard of any big clan." As soon as Mr. Feng said that, Tian Kai's brows furrowed even tighter, Tian Kai stared at Guan Yan, stroked his beard, and said softly: "You will say it in detail, and you will never spread it." When Guan Yan heard this, he knew that Tian Kai was suspicious, what should he say? If you make up a random one, Tian Kai can find out in less than half a day. How can this be done?
"Hmph, lonely!" An old voice cut off Guan Yan's thoughts.
