After noon, Guan Yan and Guan Zhong were full of wine and food, said goodbye to each other, and agreed to see each other in the future. When Guan Yan staggered back to his residence, Zhou Cang, Ji Ling, and Chen Deng were circling in the courtyard like ants on a hot pot. As soon as they saw Guan Yan returning, the three of them hurriedly gathered around Guan Yan to ask long and short questions, Guan Yan had been drinking a lot, and his brain was already chaotic, coupled with the loud voices of Zhou Cang and Ji Ling, Guan Yan's scalp was numb, Guan Yan irritably pushed aside everyone, walked straight into the room, and directly put everyone outside the door, saying: "I'm tired, wait for the first retreat." Seeing this scene, Ji Ling and Zhou Cang both looked at Chen Deng with inquiring eyes. Chen Deng looked at the closed door, turned to Ji Ling and Zhou Cang and said, "The adult has returned safely, I'll wait until the adult wakes up and ask in detail." After speaking, Chen Deng grabbed the arms of the two and dragged them away.

In the room of an inn in Linzi City, a thin young man was standing behind Guan Zhong with a nervous expression, and asked eagerly, "Uncle Zhong, have you really chosen that Yellow Turban remnant as the heir of my clan?" Guan Zhong seemed to answer and seemed to say to himself: "What this son says and does is not a thing in the pool!" The young man was obviously very disgusted by this answer, and he quietly retreated behind Guan Zhong, but the resentment in his eyes was revealed.

When the sun was setting, Guan Yanzheng and Chen Dengzheng sat under a big tree and listened to Guan Yan talk in detail about the day's events. Chen Deng's brows tightened, he stood up and wandered and paced, and after thinking for a moment, Chen Deng suddenly stopped and turned to stare at Guan Yan and said, "Childe, would you like to listen to Deng's heartfelt words?" ”

Hearing this, Guan Yan stood up and said solemnly: "Dealing with oneself, doing things, and descending, we should be honest." Wangyuanlong does not hesitate to teach! ”

Chen Deng nodded, put his hands behind his back and said leisurely: "In the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the Qi State coerced the Son of Heaven in the name of 'respecting the king and conquering the emperor', and finally became the overlord. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Xiang Yu respected the King of Chu Huai, gathered the soldiers of the homeland, and settled the battle in Julu, and the name of the overlord of Western Chu shook the past and the present! On the other hand, Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and others, although they have the ambition of a bird, they do the things of birds, like competing for vultures, and retreating like a frightened wild horse. Although the volunteers were everywhere, there was no unified order. Each for his own selfishness, without the help of righteousness. Defeated! With that, Chen Deng walked into Guan Yan and asked softly, "Did Gongzi ever think that Chen Sheng's move was similar to the current Yellow Turban Uprising?" ”

When Guan Yan heard this, he secretly thought about the development and results of the Yellow Turban Uprising, and nodded silently. Chen Deng's eyes flashed, stared at Guan Yan and said: "The prince is now serving in the imperial court, and he has such an opportunity to find a good background, and now it is in troubled times, why not take advantage of the situation to rise, not only to avenge his father's revenge, but also to do a career, why not do it?" Guan Yan's face was overjoyed, and he suddenly frowned and said: "I am what I want, but General Zhou and your brothers ......."

Chen Deng continued anxiously: "Those who achieve great things are not informal, and what Gongzi does is also for the sake of your future. ”

After some persuasion by Chen Deng, Guan Yan finally made up his mind in his heart, and said firmly: "In this case, Yan will make a fortune in this troubled world as a descendant of Guan Zhong!" ”

Chen Deng nodded with a smile on his face, slowly walked to Guan Yan, and suddenly knelt down on one knee and said, "If the lord does not give up, he is willing to serve the work of dogs and horses!" This sentence made Guan Yan stunned, and after a while, Guan Yan's heart suddenly bloomed, but he still pretended to be puzzled, and hurriedly helped Chen Deng and said: "This is Yan's great luck, but why is Yuanlong suddenly like this?" Chen Deng said: "In the past, although the lord of Dengguan had the talent of the hero, he had no chance. Saying this, Chen Deng looked at Guan Yan.

Guan Yan knew that Chen Deng was talking about his previous identity as an anti-thief, Guan Yan smiled and motioned for Chen Deng to continue. Chen Deng paced and continued: "In the three months since I followed the lord, I have been trusted and obedient. The talent and virtue of the lord are really outstanding! Now the lord is strong, and the great cause is also promising! ”。 Guan Yan was embarrassed to be praised and couldn't help blushing. "Yuanlong praises falsely, I hope Yuanlong will bother to assist him in the future!" After saying that, Guan Yan took a step back and made a gesture extremely seriously; Chen Deng also returned the salute.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, a pair of best friends officially set the fate of the monarch and the minister.
