Chapter 673: Missed
Guan Yu stood at Jinkou, watched the fully loaded ferry slowly approach, stretched out his hand to stop Zhou Cang, and signaled him not to rush to board the boat, and wait for the people on the boat to come down first. Zhou Cang muttered a few words, but didn't say anything. Guan Yu was personally signed by Wu Jing and stamped with the road transmission of Jiujiang's Taishou Seal Letter, so he could have given priority to board the ship, but because Guan Yu was unwilling to harass the people, he waited and waited, and was delayed for an hour.
After taking Yinling, Guan Yu refused Wu Jing's retention and immediately returned to Pingyu. He gave the generous gift that Wu Jing gave him to the five hundred soldiers who fought with him, and only took Zhou Cang alone. In order to follow him, Zhou Cang would rather resign the military marquis who had just arrived, Guan Yu was very moved and couldn't refuse.
There were not many people on this boat, and the boat boss had already seen the tall man on the shore, and was very grateful for his thoughtfulness, so he personally ran to the bow of the boat to greet him, and pulled the cable tightly, asking Guan Yu to get on the boat. Guan Yu nodded politely and got on the boat, the boat boss used a long penny against the shore, and the ferry moved slowly. At this time, a car came running in the distance, there were three people in the car, and the driver shouted while urging the horse to gallop.
"Boatman, wait, wait."
The captain of the boat hurriedly adjusted the direction and poked the penny into the bottom of the river. The penny was bent into a bow, but it was still difficult to stop the boat at once. When Guan Yu saw it, he scooped up the cable, jumped ashore, held it with one hand, and didn't see how hard he tried, so he pulled the ferry to a stop and leaned back to the shore. The guests on the ship were horrified and exclaimed that Guan Yu had a lot of strength.
The carriage rushed to the dock, the coachman tightened the reins tightly and slowed down, the mud was slippery, the horse's hooves were slippery, and he couldn't stop for a while, and even the car and the horse rushed to the boat, and the three people on the car screamed loudly, and the people on the boat were also afraid of being hit by the horse, so they avoided it, and for a time people shouted that the horse neighed, and made a mess.
Guan Yu threw the cable, greeted him, and rushed to the back of the car in two arrows, stretching out his hand and grabbing the carriage. The carriage creaked and was almost pulled apart by him, but fortunately it stopped in time and got on the boat immediately, and the boat was still on the shore and did not hit anyone. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the young man in the car turned over and got out of the car, and bowed his hand to Guan Yu again and again. "Thank you, strong man, or you'll have to wait a little longer."
"It's okay to wait a while, it's very beautiful here." Guan Yu said: "Please get on the boat, everyone is waiting." ”
"Okay." The young man led the horse and led the waiter to the boat. Guan Yu jumped back on the boat, threw the cable to the boat boss who met him, and clapped his hands. The young man glanced at him, and suddenly said, "Is the surname Guan Mingyu at the foot?" ”
Guan Yu stroked his beard and smiled slightly, but did not speak. The young man was a little surprised, then smiled heartily and arched his hand. "In Xia Liu Ye, the word Ziyang, is from Chengde County. General Guan passed by when he pursued the routed army, but he had not entered the city, otherwise we might have known each other a long time ago. ”
Guan Yu knew about Chengde, but he had little interest in Liu Ye. Liu Ye was wearing a Confucian shirt, his face was white, and he looked like a scholar with a good family background. Judging from the situation of his horse galloping just now, this person is still an impatient, and he does things a little indiscriminately, very much like the kind of child of the family who has his eyes above the top and does not take human life seriously, which is not very suitable for his appetite.
Seeing that Guan Yu didn't mean to talk, Liu Ye didn't say anything more. Guan Yu is a subordinate of the Sun family's father and son, but he went to Chang'an, and he didn't plan to have too much intersection with the Sun family's father and son, but he met Guan Yu on the road and owed Guan Yu a favor, so he said hello. Since Guan Yu was so proud, he had no interest in having to get close to him. is just a martial artist, if he had given advice to Zhou Ang at that time, the victory or defeat would never be the way it is now.
When the boat arrived on the north shore, everyone went ashore, Liu Ye and Guan Yu said goodbye, got into the car, and went west along the avenue. Guan Yu took Zhou Cang and walked northwest along another road, heading straight to Pingyu.
——
A large workshop has begun to take shape, rows of brand-new houses stand quietly, busy figures shuttle back and forth, several trestle bridges have been built on the shore, stretching to the middle of the lake, many women are on the trestle on the trestle yarn, the thin light veil ripples in the water, stirring up a cloud of splash, accompanied by crisp laughter drifting into the distance. A group of children are playing on the shore, climbing trees, playing in the water, or running, laughing and laughing.
Zhou Cang was very surprised. He is no stranger to Ge Pi's situation, why is it that in just over two months, Ge Pi has a new workshop, so lively? When he learned that this was a newly built ordnance workshop built by Mrs. Yuan and the Runan family, he was filled with emotion. The strength of the family is strong, as long as they want to do it, nothing is a problem. If you want money, you have money, and you want people.
Guan Yu was dismissive of this. No matter how strong the Runan family is, isn't it finally subdued by Sun Ce? He, Liu Bei, and Zhang Fei also played a big role in it. To treat the family, you have to be like Sun Ce with both soft and hard, obedient will come soft, disobedient will come hard, can't make them too proud. I hope that he can do this after he arrives at Huiji, uproot the Zhou family of Huiji, and let the Zhou brothers go to Huangquan together.
At this time, a group of children blocked Guan Yu's way, and a tiger-headed kid looked up at Guan Yu.
"Are you Mr. Guan's son, Guan Changsheng?"
Guan Yu was surprised, bowed down, and said with a smile: "Who are you, you actually know me?" ”
"You look like this, there won't be a second one." The kid said in an old-fashioned manner: "Mr. Guan always mentions you, and our ears are calloused. It's good that you're here, hurry up and see him, let him nag you in the future, don't torture us. ”
Guan Yu couldn't help but laugh and arched his hand. "Then take the trouble to lead the way."
The children led Guan Yu through the workshop and came to a small courtyard not far away. As soon as he entered the small courtyard, Guan Yu heard the sound of reading a book, mixed with a hoarse voice from time to time. "Be louder, you have to read loudly, so that you can remember it. My parents went to school when they were young, and the whole village could hear ......."
Guan Yu listened, remembering the scene when he was forced by his father to read aloud when he was a child, and a smile appeared on his face. He rolled over and dismounted, threw the reins to Zhou Cang, and walked to the front of the school alone, looking in through the window. There were more than 20 desks dancing in the room, and on each desk there were one or two children, male and female, the older one was in his teens, and the younger one was four or five years old, reading with his throat pulled.
“…… Wang Sun Man is still young, looking at it, he said to the king......"
Lao Guan Yi used the ring ruler to hit the desk hard. "Louder, louder, why don't you listen, my parents ......"
Guan Yu listened to it and read it aloud: "Master Qin is light and rude, and he will be defeated." If you are light, you will be unscrupulous, and if you are rude, you will take off. If you get out of danger and can't plan, can you be undefeated? ”
Old Guan Yi nodded with satisfaction. "That's right, that's how you need to study, that's how my parents studied when they were young. You ......" he suddenly turned his head in the direction of the window, his expression agitated. "Yes...... Immortality? ”
Guan Yu endured tears in his eyes, bent down and entered the school, came to Guan Yi, and knelt down on his knees. "Father, I am an immortal."
