Chapter 146 is afraid that the air will suddenly be quiet

Zhang Fei met Guan Lin early in the morning, and after handing over his daughter to this stinky boy, he hurried to the outskirts of the western city.

According to Kong Ming's instructions, he still has to come to see this "old man" of the military advisor.

After all, he came to Jingzhou with two missions.

First, investigate the true identity of Hong Qigong.

Second, find a good doctor, solve the Fa, correct the Fa, and be filial to the patient!

Can...

What surprised Zhang Fei was a little.

As soon as I got out of the West City Gate, I saw... Many villages on the outskirts of the city are holding funerals, and the sound of crying is endless.

Of course, it's not surprising that it's a funeral.

It's about to enter October.

In ancient times, October was a very dangerous season for the elderly, and it was easy to freeze to death and die of illness due to thin clothing.

Even, in the Han Dynasty, if the results of the summer harvest and the autumn harvest were not ideal, then, for an ordinary family, if the elderly in the family died of illness in winter, it was very likely that there would be no money for funerals.

And because of the Xiaoice period, the cold came earlier and colder, so... It's not yet October, and some poor old people have already been sent away.

Zhang Fei couldn't help but lean over to look.

Poor...

I just feel that these peasants are poor.

Wearing thin clothes, how can this survive a whole winter?

But even if you are poor...

Even if it's thinly dressed.

But in the coffin, the deceased were still wearing thick, gorgeous clothes.

The body has also been cleaned, and things have been put in the mouth and hands, which shows that the Han Dynasty's "ruling the world with filial piety" can be seen.

According to custom, Zi, Mao, Si, You, Xu, these days, it is possible to bury the male dead;

Wu, Wei, Shen, Chou, Hai, Chen, these days are the burial of female deceased.

The location is often chosen on a high place in Hongo, or next to a mountain.

Looking at this scene, Zhang Fei's mood was inevitably embarrassed.

Rather...

The farther west he went, he found that there were almost no funerals here.

In this village... From house to house, some are making jerky, some are making koji made in July, some are pickling vegetables, and you can even see the people wearing big jackets, a busy and prosperous scene.

Zhang Fei pondered, this is only two miles apart, is the gap so big?

Zhang Fei couldn't help but ask an old man.

"Old man? What's going on, why is it that the poor over there jingle and the clothes are as thin as the wings of the flies, but on your side, the rich families are still making bacon? ”

The villagers were simple and blurted out when they heard Zhang Fei's words.

The old man replied, "To tell you the truth, a few months ago, our village was the same as the next village, but now it's different... For some reason, Mr. Huang's 'Shuishui Villa' suddenly poured in one or two thousand people... So many people, they have to eat, they have to live... So, isn't there a livelihood in our village! Our village... Aren't they fed? Mr. Huang is also generous, and he has never cut us off, and every family has surplus food. ”

Speaking of which...

A middle-aged man with half a pig on his back happened to pass by, and couldn't help but add: "Not only that, I heard that there are also homeless people and beggars in the Shui Villa... Mr. Huang is benevolent and righteous, not only did he feed our village, but he also fed these two thousand homeless people and beggars, no... Recently, Mr. Huang has been recruiting a wide range of people! In the next village, the able-bodied and the poor clanged all rushed over! ”

Hearing this, Zhang Fei's eyes rolled, "Then why don't you go?" ”

The middle-aged man waved his hand, "It's not just anyone who can go, Mr. Huang is very strict, either the three generations of ancestors are in our local area, or the Central Plains is in turmoil and has fled, but there is one of the mortal clans who is in Eastern Wu, an official in the north, or a traitor... Don't want all of them? ”

"How did he know that someone in his family was up to the north? To be an official in the East? How do you know that you have committed adultery? ”

Zhang Fei blinked his eyes again and again, he was too curious.

"Huh," explained the old man this time, "they are all from ten miles and eight villages, who doesn't know whom?" If there is really someone who no one knows, how can Mr. Huang use it! ”

- Hey!

Zhang Fei's eyes must have been beaded, and he muttered in his heart, this "Shuishui" mountain villa is a bit interesting.

Wait a minute...

After a long brain circuit, Zhang Fei came back to his senses.

- "Outcasts, beggars?"

- "Then Hong Qigong, didn't he build a beggar gang? Beggars... Beggars? Could it be that it's just a bunch of beggars getting together?'

With this in mind, Zhang Fei immediately asked.

"Then do you know who Hong Qigong is?"

The old man and the middle-aged man glanced at each other, and then shook their heads.

However, the middle-aged man reminded. "Hong Qigong is amazing, with a little tricking, he can make Dongwu deflated, Jiangling City... Everyone mentions it, and they all say that this Hong Qigong is a divine dragon who sees the head but does not see the tail, how can we know... Who is Hong Qigong? But..."

Zhang Fei was about to sigh, but suddenly a "but" made him lift his spirits again.

He hurriedly took out a large bag of money from his arms and gave it to the two people in front of him, one of whom grabbed a handful, "I won't let you talk in vain, tell me everything you know!" ”

This one...

Lao Suo and the middle-aged man looked at each other, Lao Suo put away the money, and said truthfully: "Actually, there is nothing that can't be said, everyone in the village is talking." ”

"Say what?" Zhang Fei was in a hurry, girl, can you old man not go around the bend.

Lao Suo said slowly: "Hong Qigong, although we don't know who it is, but... Recently, the 'yellow old evil' that has always been mentioned in the market... We guess..."

Lao Suo maintained his chronic son as always, but it was the middle-aged man who took the lead and said: "The people in the village guess that 'Huang Laoxi' is the old Mr. Huang of the 'Shuishui' Villa... Do you think, his surname is Huang, and now... So many people have been recruited, and there are also artifacts and ordnance that have been spread all over the place? Except for Mr. Huang who has this ability, who else can there be? ”

Hehe...

Zhang Feile was happy, about the identity of "Huang Laoxi", he originally thought about it here.

Only, there is no direct evidence.

But now...

Zhang Fei's eyes must be.

It's not bad, I didn't find Hong Qigong, and finding out a Huang Laoxie is also an unexpected joy!

With this in mind...

Suddenly, the gates of the Shui Shui Villa opened.

Zhang Fei noticed that at the gate, an old man, wearing a leather coat, riding a donkey, with a wine gourd hanging from his waist, was walking towards the outside of the villa, he shook the wine gourd from time to time, as if he was greedy, and came out to ask the villagers for wine.

As he walked, he was still chanting a little poem.

- "The north wind is cold overnight, and the clouds are thin; The wind is fluttering in the sky, and the old country is changed. ”

- "Looking up at it is too empty, it is suspected that it is a jade dragon fight; is about to fly, and he is all over the universe every day. Riding a donkey to beg for wine, sighing alone plum blossoms. ”

This poem, as if it were a prediction...

Heavy snow is coming.

Hearing this, where could Zhang Fei be calm, he stretched out his arms and ran towards Huang Chengyan with his legs crossed, like a fifty-year-old child, shouting while running.

"Lao Huang, Lao Huang..."

"Finally let me find it, it turns out that you are the old yellow evil!"

In Zhang Fei's opinion.

If you can't find Hong Qigong, it's okay... Finding Huang Laoxie is enough to explain to Zhuge Kongming.

…

…

It was only one night, and the weather suddenly became cold.

The air is dry, and people's faces are so dry and cracked that this is a sign that the "dry period" is coming.

After bidding farewell to Yang Yi, Guan Yu did not go back to Jiangling City directly, but rushed to the camp where the Guan family army was stationed to deal with some military affairs.

Ma Liang also followed, which can be regarded as giving advice to Guan Yu.

Guan Ping is the goalkeeper of the tooth, and he is waiting for dispatch under Guan Yu's account.

Guan Xing, Guan Yinping, and Guan Suo, as the tun chiefs, should not be here.

But because of their special status, they all have seats in the big tent.

"Changsha County, when weapons were found and ordnance was seized, Liao Litai made a decision immediately, which is a merit, but General Liu Pan's attack of thousands of miles is also indispensable, and he should be rewarded!"

At this moment, Ma Liang is reporting.

Just now, what he and Guan Cheng were discussing was that in the stone cave of Guanshan in Changsha County, there was a large weapon fight of corpses, and finally the Changsha County Guard seized the ordnance.

And in the middle of this, because of the attention of Guan Yu and Ma Liang, Liu Pan was assigned to run thousands of miles in advance to remind Changsha County to guard Liao Li.

tirelessly, day and night.

Liu Pan is indeed rewarded.

Of course, the biggest credit for this, how can you hide from the stinky boy of Switch Lin?

At this moment, Guan Yu is especially angry with Guan Lin, he is just the head of his chin, "General Liu Pan is Liu Jingsheng's subordinate, loyal to the eldest brother, the reward is not easy to be too light, Ji Chang needs to be carefully considered." ”

"Whoa!" Ma Liang took the order.

Of course...

In this matter, actually... There is still a small episode, according to the statement in the emergency report, when Liu Pan sent Guan Gong's handwritten letter to Changsha County, there was a magical note in the handwritten letter.

The content on it - "Tomorrow at noon, there is a surprise in the stone cave at the foot of Guanshan, Taishou must bring troops here, when there is a harvest, don't be early, don't be late!" ”

If this note, these miraculous words, could not have been written at the time... It's too much of a sensation.

Can... The signature on the note inevitably makes people reverie.

Because this signature is exactly - Hong Qigong!

In the urgent letter sent back, Liao Li and Liu Pan also asked Guan Yu if 'Hong Qigong' handed over this note to Guan Gong?

But in fact, where does Guan Yu know what note?

I don't even know what's on this note.

It is because of this that Guan Yu and Ma Liang can draw several new conclusions on the clues about "Hong Qigong".

First, Huang Laoxie and Hong Qigong are by no means the same person.

But in all likelihood, the two of them knew each other;

Second, if Huang Laoxie is Huang Chengyan, then... Hong Qigong is most likely of the same age as him, and he has a good relationship!

This can be judged from the title of "old man" by the beggar disciples.

In that case...

Then there is a possibility that "Hong Qigong" is Mr. Sima Hui, who is good friends with Huang Chengyan, a famous scholar in Cannan, or Pang Degong, who lives in seclusion in Lumen Mountain!

Of course, the former is a little more likely.

Because the latter, Pang Shanmin, the son of Pang Degong, is the one who married Zhuge Liang's second sister, and now serves as Cao Wei's "official minister"!

Considering Pang Shanmin's identity, Pang Degong, who was a father, didn't seem to go out of the mountain to help Guan Yu!

Of course... These are all conjectures.

It's not a topic that can be discussed on the surface.

There is even a possibility.

"Huang Laoxi" is not only Huang Chengyan, Guan Lin, a stinky boy, is also part of "Huang Laoxi".

If so, then... Considering Guan Lin's close relationship with these beggar disciples.

He must know the true identity of the "old man" of the beggar gang, Hong Qigong.

In fact... There is a misleading here.

If it weren't for "Hong Qigong", the identity of the "old man" would be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Because of the misleading nature of this clue, Guan Yu and Ma Liang have been able to judge the true identity of Hong Qigong.

But... At least for now, it can be determined that Hong Qigong must be a friend and not an enemy!

Regarding the military affairs of Changsha County, this is the last military affairs discussed today.

It stands to reason that this military meeting in the big tent of the Guan family army is over.

But...

Guan Yu specially left Ma Liang and Guan Ping, Guan Xing, Guan Yinping, and Guan Suo.

He found out that he was also drunk.

I wanted to use other things to change my mood, no longer think about Guan Lin's stinky boy, think about this stinky boy, but... Inexplicably, Guan Lin's stinky boy seems to be filled with a haunt that fills his brain.

Especially the most ruthless sentences.

Obviously I get angry when I think about it, I get angry, but it's inexplicable... Guan Yu will think about it as if he has gotten into the tip of a bull's horns.

- "Daddy, you're a little shameless, aren't you?"

- "Those repeating crossbows and side vans, is my father... Do you want to say that it was captured by Guan Jiajun? ”

- "Father, nothing more to say? Still speechless? ”

- "The father can not have a face, but the child wants a face!" ”

Guan Yu felt that he was sick, and he was suffering from an extremely heavy heart disease.

This was the case at the time of the meeting, and now that the meeting is over, all he thinks about is Guan Lin's words!

It's all of them, this rebel who is about to him off to death.

Guan Yu naturally didn't know that this was indeed a disease, but it was not a heart disease...

If you rule, forget it, let's change my son!

Slowly getting up, Guan Yu only felt that the sky was spinning... He settled down and couldn't help but ask these sons.

"Tell me, what is 'if you are not talented, you are resourceful, and if you are not knowledgeable, you are worried'? What is it, 'If there is not enough power, there will be much anger, and if there is not enough faith, there will be too much talk'? ”

- Ahh

As soon as this remark came out, it was said that Guan Ping, Guan Xing, Guan Yinping, and Guan Suo were shocked, and even Ma Liang was shocked.

How did it go around to Guan Lin again.

"Tell me!"

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Guan Yu paced lightly, his tone was not serious, it was like... I am discussing this issue with Ma Liang and my sons and daughters.

Can... Guan Ping, how dare they answer.

In their opinion, my father was almost fainted by the fourth brother (brother) because of this, which is a proposition.

"Guan Gong..."Ma Liang spoke, intending to comfort him.

I have to help Guan Gong get out of this bull's horn as soon as possible!

"Don't say anything else first..."Guan Yu's words were still very gentle, "Ji Chang will explain these four sentences first..."

This one...

Feeling Guan Yu's persistence, Ma Liang could only explain head-on, "Yunqi said that 'if you are not talented, you will be resourceful, and if you are not knowledgeable, you will be more worried', 'if you are not powerful, you will be angry, and if you are not trustworthy, you will talk more', but... After thinking about it for a long time, Yunqi's words have no source in ancient books, the so-called 'the ancients are honest and not deceiving', since it is nothing, if it is imposed, it is only said in the "Book of Rites", "learn and then know the insufficiency", and "know the lack and then be able to reflexive"! ”

Ma Liang's remarks can be regarded as avoiding the important and trivial.

On the other hand, Guan Yu stroked his beard, "Hehe, I can't think of Yunqi's words, even Ji Chang doesn't dare to explain, so let's talk about it... Yunqi, this kid is saying that a certain person lacks intelligence, knowledge, prestige, and reputation... It is precisely because of these four deficiencies that Guan will be more resourceful, more worried, more angry, and more talking. ”

Speaking of which.

Guan Yu raised his eyes and looked around at Guan Ping, Guan Xing, Guan Yinping, and Guan Suo, "Tell me, is it really as unbearable as Yunqi said for my father?" ”

This... It's another proposition.

The children of the Guan family looked at each other, and at this time, they knew... There is no point in simply praising the father.

The fourth brother's words are really a bit heavy, so heavy... It has deeply hit my father's confidence.

At this moment, Guan Suo took a step forward and arched his hand: "The child dares to ask his father... What is the reason exactly? Just let the fourth brother say this? If the child does not know why, how can he judge? ”

Guan Suo's words can be regarded as saying what Guan Ping and Guan Xing wanted to say but didn't dare to say.

They set out for Jiangxia... How do you know what's going on here?

And how do you evaluate this time... The dispute between the fourth brother and his father.

"It's also... You don't know what happened. Guan Yu's tone was still very light, and he looked at Ma Liang, "Ji Chang will talk about it..."

"Good!"

So, Ma Liang told all the causes and consequences of this incident.

That includes the big picture of the incident.

——Yang Yi's purpose for coming to Jingzhou!

——Kong Ming's military advisor pointed out his intention to teach Guan Lin!

In other words, Guan Lin has a great chance of becoming a disciple of Kong Ming!

And because of these, Guan Yu spared no effort to let Yang Yi see Guan Lin's merits and see Guan Lin's talent...

Naturally, I am also full of expectations for Kong Ming's teaching this time.

But...

But in the first question, Guan Lin's answer surprised everyone.

Perfunctory... Totally perfunctory, nonsensical answer!

It was precisely because of this answer that Guan Yu and Guan Lin fought on the spot, and on the second day, he detained the tiger and leopard cavalry... Forcing Guan Lin to change his answer.

It's cause and effect!

Even...

Ma Liang also explained for Guan Yu earnestly.

"Even in the end, Yunqi still doesn't change this answer sheet, your father is deep in love and hate, you say, with this nonsense answer sheet, you lost the opportunity to become a disciple of Zhuge Junshi, what a pity is this for Yunqi? Yu Guan Gong, how lost? ”

For this reason, Guan Gong specially went to bid farewell to Yang Yi, and specially handed Yang Yi a letter written by himself to Kong Ming, and asked Yang Yi to explain to Kong Ming. How haughty are your fathers? He put down his posture and was able to make this step... It's already really rare, it's not easy! ”

With Ma Liang's words, came out.

There was silence.

Guan Yinping witnessed the whole incident, and she knew... This time it may really be the fault of the fourth brother.

But the fourth brother's temperament, how easy is it for him to admit his mistakes?

Guan Ping and Guan Xing frowned, as if... Their ideas are similar to those of Guan Yinping.

Only Guan Suo, he has the best relationship with Guan Lin, and he is also the brother who knows Guan Lin best.

He immediately complained about Guan Lin.

"How did my father know? The fourth brother's answer is nonsense and perfunctory? In case of... What if..."

Because the speed of speech was too fast, Guan Suo had not yet organized the language, and stumbled in the middle of speaking.

He paused slightly, then continued to speak. "What if... If Cao Cao really left Hanzhong, then... Then how can there be a crisis in Shuzhong? Naturally, there is no need to raise military baggage, grain and grass to go north to resist the enemy, the fourth brother's answer 'If you can't make it, you can't make it up, there's no need to make it up at all', although the words are rough, the reason is not rough, and naturally it's right! ”

With the words of Sekiso...

Guan Yu and Ma Liang subconsciously looked at each other.

- "What Wei Zhi said... It's exactly the same as what Yunqi said."

Guan Yu recalled.

Just this morning, the night before their father and son completely "broke out", Guan Lin did explain his answers.

What he meant was that Cao Ren would be cold immediately, and Cao Cao would return to Xiangfan immediately, and the danger in Hanzhong would be solved!

Nature... There's no need to scrape together!

Honestly going back to sleep has become the best solution...

Can...

Isn't this kind of nonsense?

Cao Ren is cold?

Huh, how is that possible?

Cao Ren is not a dying old man, his body has never been sick, he is in the year of fighting, how can he say that it is cold when it is cold?

You Guan Lin can pinch and calculate, and you have to have some proof, right?

It is not an exaggeration to say that even if countless knives fall in the sky above Xiangyang City, how can this kid guarantee that he will definitely be able to stick to Cao Ren's vital point?

Guan Yu didn't bother to explain to Guan Suo.

Call...

He sat down helplessly and let out a long breath.

He closed his eyes and thought... But it was the handwritten letter he wrote to Kong Ming.

This is how the letter is written.

"——Kong Ming is fine, since Jingzhou, it has been three years, Yu is full of emotion. Thinking about the past, the three of my brothers married in Taoyuan, and looked at Mr. Yu for eight years... Mr. Shuijing once said that Wolong, phoenix chicks, one person can win the world, and then because of his brother Corporal Lixian, fortunately Mr. Shuijing's words, Mr. Wolong got Mr. Wolong in Jingzhou. ”

Guan Yu's letter seems to be inconsistent with Guan Lin's answer sheet "Wind and Horses and Cows", and the whole article is full of recounting, and his words are all praises for Zhuge Liang.

It's only the last sentence to be added.

- "Kong Ming is teaching Yunqi, this is a fortunate thing for the Guan family, this son is arrogant, and his temperament is like Guan Mou, and he is angry with Guan Mou when he answers the questionnaire, so there is some prevarication and nonsense in the answer sheet, I hope Kong Ming doesn't mind!" ”

The whole article is sprinkled, hundreds of words, and only one sentence is to excuse Guan Lin.

Need to know.

Guan Yu has never been so humble in his life? How can he ever be so praised? He had such a low posture.

Don't say that it is Zhuge Kongming, even when facing Liu Bei.

Every sentence throughout... Every praise for Zhuge Liang, this so-called - Guan Yu Wumo, is intended for cloud flags!

Guan Yu is determined... If it was Kong Ming, he would definitely be able to understand it.

It's just that such a letter with "meaning and affection for children" is afraid that Kong Ming will laugh at it.

That's when it happened.

Zhou Cang broke into the military tent and reported to him: "General, outside the door... A scribe asked for a meeting with a messenger, saying that it was an urgent message sent back by Xiangfan! ”

As he spoke, Zhou Cang had already handed the urgent item to Guan Yu.

"Pass them in!"

It's a matter of military urgency... It's still an urgent message sent back by Xiangfan.

Guan Yu hurriedly ordered.

While speaking, Zhou Cang went out.

At the same time, Guan Yu quickly unfolded the urgent item in his hand, and Ma Liang also tiptoed, very curious about this Xiangfan urgency.

Of course, Ma Liang knew that the spies' letterheads often needed to be engraved, and even if they saw the contents of the letters, they did not know their meaning.

And with the letterhead opened.

Guan Yu quickly used the engraving to find useful words, connect them, and compare the first sentence.

And this first sentence made him slightly stunned.

——Xiangyang City... Cao Ren and Cao Chun were assassinated!

Guan Yu was still pondering, he didn't give an order, let Xi Zuo assassinate, and immediately looked at Ma Liang, "Ji Changke ordered to let Xiang Fan's eyeliner assassinate the enemy general?" ”

"No..."Ma Liang shook his head again and again, he didn't know at all!

Guan Yu followed... Look down.

Through the engraving, the second sentence is about to come out.

- Cao Chun died on the spot!

Guan Yu subconsciously thought of... Cao Chun actually returned to Xiangyang City alive? Originally, Guan Yu thought that he had died in Sunset Valley.

Therefore, Cao Chun's death did not attract Guan Yu's attention.

And at this moment...

The engraving moves down again, and the third sentence is being pieced together...

The first two words are "Cao Ren"...

- "Cao Ren... What's wrong?'

Guan Yu thought about it and spelled out this complete sentence.

At this moment, his Danfeng eyes shrank, as if he had seen a ghost, he was dumbfounded, he groaned for a short time, and then he didn't care about his demeanor and majesty at all, he actually roared.

- "Cao Ren was assassinated and is in a coma to this day!" ”

Just this one sentence.

And there was silence in the whole tent.

Including Guan Yu, everyone fell into silence for a long time.

I'm afraid that the air will suddenly be quiet!

…
