Chapter 516 Wei Wei, you are forcibly opening the main line!

——Yulan soup is full of flowers, and the clothes are beautiful.

The ancients said that beauties take a bath, such as hibiscus out of the water, and white lotus after the rain, which is beautiful and delicious.

At this moment, Sun Luyu is walking out of the bathtub shrouded in green smoke, looking like a beauty out of the bath, pure and beautiful!

The fluffy hair is casually pulled on the top of the head, and the silky midi coat reveals the rosy skin.

I don't know if it's because of the short-term amazement that will occur after a woman's chastity is lost.

It's the first time I've seen my body... There was so much blood, and she felt that the whole person had become filthy, she was quiet, but her face was flushed and confused at the moment, and this gesture was a little charming!

"Step... Tread..."

The lotus step moved slightly, and Sun Luyu, who had been soaking in the bathtub for a whole hour, was a little weak at the moment, and his expression always maintained melancholy and reverie... But if she was thinking, she didn't know.

It was as if it had only been one night, and her mind went blank... She is no longer the princess of Soochow in the boudoir.

She even... is no longer a pure girl.

Having said that, when she woke up, Sun Luyu was in the medical office, Da Qiao was feeding her medicine, she didn't know what she was drinking, but she could feel it, since taking this medicine, she felt much better physically.

After that, Sun Luyu noticed that there was something strange about a certain part of his body, as if something had been torn apart, and soon... When she noticed the bloodstains there, it was as if she understood something in an instant.

Water?

She begged someone in the medical department to prepare water for her, and she... She just wanted to sink herself into that tub and never come out again.

It was Da Qiao who healed her, because she received Guan Lin's special instructions, so... Big Joe always met the little girl's request.

Naturally, as a person who has come over, Da Qiao knows all this.

Call... Call...

With a burst of rapid ghostly aura, the more Sun Luyu thought about it, the more blank her mind became, and the more she didn't know, what should she be thinking? Or how can you stop thinking nonsense.

At that moment, a soft voice came from outside the curtain.

"It's done, huh?"

The voice was soft and slow, but the tone was crisp, Sun Luyu would never forget this voice, as if during the period of time when she lost consciousness, this voice... And the wheezing sound of the voice lingered in her ears all the time, almost touching her ears.

- It's Guan Lin...

"Off... Off..."

As he turned around, Sun Luyu's voice stumbled, obviously... Encountering Guan Lin in this kind of bathroom made Sun Luyu can't help but give birth to a unique coquettishness of his daughter's family.

is completely different from her coquettishness, Guan Lin opened his mouth generously: "The female officer in the medical department has detected a poison in your body, but... Your sister has already confessed that she buried the antidote in the courtyard outside the house, and now you have taken the antidote..."

Guan Lin began his relationship with Sun Luyu with such a sentence... This conversation with a special woman who had a skin-to-skin relationship.

"Where's my sister?"

After being silent for a long time, Sun Luyu asked such a sentence, her tone was still a little coquettish and shy: "Is my sister like me?" ”

Nature... She asked about the body, about the kidneys.

Guan Lin didn't answer, to be precise, he didn't know how to answer...

If you tell Sun Luyu the truth, saying that your sister has been imprisoned and is being tortured with water... Will ask what she's been doing in the past few months, these words... Isn't it... It's a little cruel!

Seeing Guan Lin silent...

Sun Luyu plucked up the courage and asked, "So, did my sister and I fail?" You... Do you have to punish us in this way, and shame our sisters? ”

Hehe... Hearing this, Guan Lin smiled in his heart, if it weren't for the "assist" sent by Liu Chan, a "teammate", Sun Luyu would not have appeared here now.

Guan Lin's heart will not be shaken and loosened in the slightest because of this skin kiss.

He is never merciful to his enemies, let alone his favorite daughter!

"Don't think so much..."

Guan Lin replied casually.

Sun Luyu continued to open his mouth, "I should have thought that my father is not your opponent, so many powerful uncles and uncles are not your opponents, and my sister and I are your opponents?" We lost... It's a loss... Perhaps, this is the fate of my sister and me, the calamity that my sister and I deserve..."

In the face of Sun Luyu's sentimental emotion, Guan Lin wanted to comfort him, but at this time...

"Childe, everyone has arrived..."

Outside the door came the voice of Shiwu, like... In today's current situation, Guan Lin still has a lot of things to deal with.

"I'll be there later—"

With Guan Lin's command, Shiwu retreated... Guan Lin also got up and prepared to leave, speaking of... He could not have come to see Sun Luyu, but in fact, it didn't make much sense to see it.

But... After all, he still can't rest assured!

Then again... Only go to the kidneys, not the heart, imagination is always beautiful,... Hehe, but it's not easy to scum.

Now that I have seen it, I am relieved that Guan Lin is about to leave.

Sun Luyu took a hurried step and grabbed Guan Lin's hand, "Yes... Is it about Soochow? ”

As if, this sentence is full of worry.

Without waiting for Guan Lin to answer, Sun Luyu seemed to have thought about something, "If... If Soochow dies, you... Will you spare your father? Will you spare my sister and mother? ”

Sun Luyu is a kind-hearted woman after all, and she is a woman who cares a lot about the comfort of her relatives.

And these words also made Guan Lin's footsteps stop, and he turned to look at this special woman again.

He pondered for a moment, and then said solemnly, "For your sake, I will spare your mother and sister... As for your father..."

Paused...

Guan Lin paused for a moment, and then continued, "Whether his life can be saved or not, it's not up to me to decide..."

Oh, yes...

Think about the names under Guan Lin - Lu Xun, Zhuge Ke, Ling Tong, Gan Ning, Sun Jiao, Su Fei;

Think about the names in Hongyan - Zhou Xun, Sun Shao, Huang Bing, Tai Shixiang, Zhou Jun;

Think about the names that have made great contributions to Soochow, but have passed away for various reasons in the past ten years - Xu Kun, Wu Jing, Sun Yi, Tai Shici, Zhou Yu...

- Even if Guan Lin is merciful.

- But these civil and military! How could they let Sun Quan go?

The evening in Gangneung Fortress was unusually cold.

The hot breath exhaled from his mouth turned into white mist in an instant, drifting away in the silent long street.

Guan Lin walked calmly through the streets and alleys, beside him, Gan Ning and Mi Yang opened the way in front, and Shiwu held a three-foot long sword to guard Guan Lin's side.

Behind... The fish scale armor made of thousands of iron pieces made a "whoosh" sound with the footsteps, and it was more than a hundred heavily armored soldiers guarding Guan Lin.

Although the more than 100 pro-soldiers were silent, from the neat array, they irrepressibly exuded a calm and murderous atmosphere, as if to warn everyone to have any evil intentions, Yunqi Gongzi's side is impregnable!

Finally...

When I arrived, it was a wine shop...

The heavily armored soldiers surrounded the wine shop, guarded by Sen Ran, and Guan Lin walked into it with Shiwu, Gan Ning, and Miyang.

There is a special person to lead Guan Lin and his entourage into the cellar, and there have long been many people gathered here, including beggars dressed in regular clothes, Lujiang, Jianye, Xuchang... Even the messengers from Luoyang, as well as civil and military generals such as Lu Xun and Hao Zhao, who were trustworthy to Guan Lin.

Everyone had already sat down, Guan Lin stepped forward, sat down on the main seat of the "vacant seat", without too much greetings, and immediately ordered: "Perform something"!

The first messenger from Jianye made a report, and when he made a report, the messenger from Lujiang also stepped forward.

It was as if they knew each other because of their private conversations, and they were reporting the same thing.

"Yu Gongzi, Sun Quan killed the Wei envoy in the palace of Wu Guojian Yecheng, and humiliated Cao Pi, the prince of Wei, in order to boost people's hearts and morale, in addition... Imprison the patriarchs of various families and force them to hand over their military power and money... I never thought that this move was so rewarding that in just a few days, I forced the families to hand over more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, in addition, Sun Quan issued a list of peace and security in Jiangdong, compensated the families of the soldiers on the front line, and promised to re-measure the land and distribute it to the people and meritorious officials——"

Yo...

Subconsciously, when this piece of information came to Guan Lin's ears, Guan Lin only felt that Sun Quan had opened his mind!

This shady monarch! When did you learn to know people's hearts like this?

To humiliate Cao Pi is to cover up his behavior of "shameless backstabbing" and "stealing chickens and rice", and then transfer the same "shameless" label to Cao Wei's body.

It's a diversion of attention, a cover for one's faults, a diversion of contradictions... In order to win the support of the general righteousness.

The purpose of imprisoning the patriarchs of the great clans of various families is to prevent these patriarchs from stabbing him in both sides and back, and at the same time to gather all the existing forces of Eastern Wu to unite the front and resist the enemy's attack...

As for... Publish the list to settle the people, compensate the families of the front-line soldiers, and even... Measuring and allocating acres, this... Isn't it pure and pure to benefit the people?

In the way of drastic reforms, the reactivation of the Liuyu faction of civil and military forces that can fight well in war...

Based on the people, with these rogue generals as the core, to deal with this crisis?

Eventually... Sun Quan still walked the path that Sun Ce once walked!

Thinking of this, Guan Lin's brows twitched slightly, in fact, Guan Lin had already realized that maybe... Sun Quan's measures can have an immediate effect, but there is no doubt... This is drinking to quench thirst.

The energy of those big clans in Soochow is far beyond imagination.

Sun Quan can control them for a while, but he must not be able to control them for a long time.

Sun Ce's story has also shown that it is almost impossible to rule Jiangdong in a repressive way!

But...

When the news reaches Lujiang under these reforms, I am afraid that the soldiers' fighting spirit there will be fierce again... This is a big test for Daddy Guan Yu!

Thinking of this, Guan Lin's eyes narrowed into a slit...

He opened his mouth and asked, "How is it over there in Lujiang?" ”

The messenger of Lujiang was about to report, "The second general and General Zhang Liao made an appointment to attack Lujiang and divide Lujiang equally, but because of Xu Sheng's fierce battle before, General Zhang Liao was seriously injured and his life hung by a thread, and the Wei army barely helped... In addition, the soldiers of Lujiang City are well fed and have abundant ordnance, and only the second general and the Guan family army did not capture Lujiang... The battle in Lujiang has reached a stalemate, and in addition..."

At this point, the messenger paused for a moment, and then reported, "The second general has sent me to inform the fourth prince that he wants to summon the Zhongjing Divine Doctor to heal General Zhang Liao of the Wei army... I don't know what the fourth prince thinks..."

- Eliminate the advantages of the other!

This was Guan Lin's first feeling after hearing these words.

One increase and one decrease, Lujiang City has become a difficult bone to gnaw...

The most important thing is that this battle cannot be delayed in the future, Cao Wei's side has temporarily retreated, but it will not always retreat, nor will it always be forbearing, and it must be destroyed before they can ease up, and it will change later.

This... It's not easy.

As for... Let Zhang Zhongjing save Zhang Liao!

Alas... Daddy is still the word "righteousness".

Of course, Zhang Liao is also a righteous man, and Guan Lin will not disobey his father's will.

There is only one...

He dared to send Zhongjing Divine Doctor, but that Wei army, did they dare to take it?

Aren't you afraid that because of this, they will usher in unnecessary suspicion for their generals?

"I see..."Eventually...

Guan Lin unveiled these two questions in one sentence.

Not to mention the treatment of Zhang Liao, the series of measures to deal with Lujiang and Sun Quan... In fact, Guan Lin already has an idea.

Probably the plan remains the same, and it is still to use the identities of Sun Luyu and Sun Luban, the two tigers!

The cards are in Guan Lin's hands, as long as they are used well, they are enough to use their identities to disintegrate the fighting spirit and fighting spirit of the Lujiang army and civilians, and even the Jiangdong soldiers and civilians.

However, the specific operation and implementation strategy needs further consideration and improvement.

"Continue—"

Guan Lin went on to say, at this time... One by one, the messengers began to report separately, which was nothing more than information from Xiangyang, Wancheng, Chaisang and other places...

And with these reports, Guan Lin also responded to the orders in turn, and then signaled for them all to retreat.

With the resignation of the crowd...

In the cellar of this wine shop, in addition to the absolute core backbone and henchmen under the command of Guan Lin, only the disciples of the beggar gang remained, and at the same time... A few new beggars entered, reporting news from the north.

"Childe, that Ma Jun has already inquired, after all, he has poured out the power of the whole parrot and searched all over Luoyang City, but there is still no whereabouts of him... Seems... In the whole of Luoyang, everyone knows that the King of Wei has a powerful grandson-in-law who rides the dragon, but who is he? Where are the people? Nothing is known to everyone..."

- "Sure enough..."

Guan Lin secretly said in his heart, since he beat Li Lian and said that "Ma Jun" became Cao Cao's concubine and was entrusted with an important task, Guan Lin has not been less concerned about this heart, and has not asked Lingju and second brother Guan Xing to pay close attention to Ma Jun's position and movements...

If Soochow is a disease of scabies, then this Ma Jun is a big problem!

Obviously, Cao Cao's concubine is very secretive and cautious... This is in line with Cao Cao's always cautious and suspicious character.

Then... The representative of the Water Villa, Liu Ye couldn't help but open his mouth, "If it is really as Yunqi said, if Ma Jun can also imitate the flying ball, then maybe the situation on the battlefield will be completely changed..."

Thinking of this, he made a bold conjecture, "Cloud flag? Isn't there anything that can counter the flying ball? ”

Liu Ye's tone was a little impatient, as if he was a little worried... The pattern of the future battlefield.

Guan Lin explained unhurriedly: "Mr. Liu is overestimating this flying ball, in fact, this flying ball has weaknesses... Because the speed is not fast, once there is preparation and warning on the ground, it is easy to dodge it if it is quickly dispersed! Our success before, the heavenly divine arrow of Wancheng, and the sea of purgatory fire in Fancheng, were only because the enemy didn't know what it was? Unprepared. ”

"Just imagine, if there are hot air balloons on both sides of the battlefield in the future, it is equivalent to opening the field of vision, and there will be no secrets between the two sides, and there will be no ambushes, tricks and conspiracies... The two sides are equivalent to playing cards open, perhaps... At that time, the development of the war returned to the Spring and Autumn Period, to the era of hard power competition! So... I'm never worried that the flying ball will be copied by that Ma Jun, but that every invention of our Shuishui Villa will be copied by him, such an arms race... That's the last thing I want to see. ”

Guan Lin said that it is very important...

A very important point is that the two sides are open-handed, and the content of the competition has changed from intrigue to a dignified and hard power competition.

It's hard to say whether this is progress or regression brought about by technology...

But undoubtedly... Maybe the emergence of hot air balloons, maybe technology has entered this era in advance...

It will make this war of domination of the world less dead, and it will make the current war between the words "Zhengda Guangming" and "Li"... Reappeared on the land of China.

Because in the Spring and Autumn Period, it was so "polite" for the two countries to fight!

If one party does not talk about martial virtues, then it is not even qualified to go to the battlefield.

At that time, everything paid attention to a "courtesy", and the two countries had to be famous when they went to war, and I couldn't say that I couldn't get used to you, so I wanted to fight you, and I had to write clearly that I was fighting you to grab your land.

After writing... It is necessary to send an emissary to deliver the war letter.

The countries that have been invited to fight must also be polite, and they must set up a banquet to entertain the enemy's envoys, and they must also play music and write poems, and the two sides should agree on the place and time of the battle in a cheerful atmosphere, and even the number of people must be agreed, and there can be no more on the one hand and less on the other.

There are also regulations on the time and place of war, and it is not allowed to fight in a place where people live, when the farm is busy, when the enemy country has a plague or disaster, and the most taboo thing is a sneak attack.

If a country goes to war without prior notice, it will definitely be despised by other countries.

There are more rules on the battlefield, and the drum must be played before opening, which means, are you ready? You have to wait for the other party to beat the drum in response... Only then can the two sides fight.

During the fighting, both sides must also abide by three principles, one of which is not to seriously injure, which means that once the enemy is wounded, he cannot repair the knife and must be returned for treatment.

Second, if you don't capture two hairs, you must not capture a gray-haired person on the battlefield.

Third, we must not hinder the enemy, and when we are fighting, we must not block the enemy in a narrow terrain, but we must fight a decisive battle in an open area.

This is what the Spring and Autumn Period called - martial virtue!

And during the Warring States period, there were no lower limits to the conquests...

There is also the appearance of "The Art of War", the sentence "soldiers are not tired of cheating" has refreshed the lower limit of martial arts again and again...

That's why... In later generations, Teacher Ma, the head of a certain Hun Yuan Xingyi Taijiquan, would say - young people don't talk about martial arts!

Because Mr. Ma pays attention to the martial arts of the Spring and Autumn Period...

It is not at all the same thing as the current "martial arts".

In fact...

If you really abandon all intrigues and tricks, and restore the way of playing in the state of etiquette in the "Spring and Autumn"...

All of them are fighting in a dignified and open manner, and they are all competing for hard power... There are advantages for Guan Lin, and of course there will be challenges, but for the majority of Chinese compatriots, there is no doubt... It will reduce a lot of damage!

This is what Guan Lin likes to see...

"Anything else?"

Guan Lin thought about it for a long time, but he still pulled his thoughts back from the "arms race" to reality...

Then... A disciple of the beggar gang hesitated, and even looked around at the people around him, and the meaning could not be more clear.

He has more confidential things to report to Guan Lin.

Guan Lin saw it and motioned for everyone to disperse...

This time, even Lu Xun, Liu Ye, Gan Ning and others also retreated, and after a while, only Shiwu stood between Guan Lin and the disciples of the beggar gang...

"Now there's something to say!"

"We have already come into contact with that Wei Wei according to the order of the Cloud Banner Prince-" This beggar disciple's surname is Zhuang, and in a famous letter specially written by Guan Lin, his code name is Zhuang Yifang.

He is a familiar face that Guan Lin often sees, and he received the news from behind the enemy and reported it to Guan Lin as soon as possible.

Seeing that the pocket on his body is a six-bag disciple, he can mix to this level, and he has made great contributions in the beggar gang in the past.

At this moment, this Zhuang Yifang was still very cautious, and he didn't open his mouth until the last footsteps outside disappeared, "Then Wei Wei told me to wait, he plans to take advantage of Cao Cao's unstable foothold in Luoyang to launch a rebellion... One robbed the Son of Heaven, and the other assassinated Cao Cao! ”

Not...

Although Guan Lin was prepared, Zhuang Yifang's words still surprised him.

Launch a rebellion and plunder the Son of Heaven -

Assassination of Cao Cao –

Wei Wei would do this, Guan Lin was not surprised at all, because he did it two years later in history... If it weren't for a leak from a friend, it would have almost worked.

As for now... Guan Lin had one thought in his mind.

- "Wei sarcasm, Wei sarcasm, are you forcibly opening the main line for me..."

- 'If you rebel at this time, then you will be finished!'

Truly... If he couldn't see his friend for what he was, then... Whether the rebellion was two years, a year, or two months ahead of schedule, the final outcome must have been a failure!

With this in mind... Guan Lin's cheeks became serious, and he stretched out his hand to signal to Zhuang Yifang: "You come here with your ears..."

Zhuang Yifang hurriedly came to Guan Lin's face.

Guan Lin's voice was very detailed: "This time the stakes are very high, I don't feel at ease when Lu Youjiao is alone in Luoyang... I'm going to send you over, I'll tell you what to do..."

This...

Zhuang Yifang was stunned, and in an instant, he seemed to see the hope of "two more bags" of "cloth bags" on his waist.

Moving the capital to Luoyang, many matters are inseparable from Cao Cao, so these days, Cao Cao is the first two big.

Fortunately, one is Li Lian and the other is Cao Zhi, because this Luoyang City was built by them, so for a period of time, the two were almost Cao Cao's right-hand men and helped him manage a lot of matters.

It is also at this stall that Cao Cao can't spare his hands to focus on the Son of Heaven.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the palace Deyang Palace is very tense, Wei Yan is a talent, in front of Liu Xie, the son of heaven, he is holding a brush in his hand and is quickly making articles on the paper bought from the merchant at a high price...

After doing it, his friend Chen Yi handed the article to the Son of Heaven.

The article is just an article, but if you read it according to the "engraving" that Wei Wei and Chen Yi told the Son of Heaven in advance... Avoid the useless words and look only at the key words... That's a different kind of article, a different kind of scenery.

For a while, the Son of Heaven was shocked after seeing it, and asked tremblingly: "You... You've got it all figured out? It's true... Do you really want to do it? ”

Because he is a genius of the Son of Heaven, and because Chen Yi is in charge of the guards around the Son of Heaven...

Therefore, before that, Chen Yi specially withdrew the people beside the Son of Heaven, and Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven, could speak without any worries.

It's just that... Because of the previous failures of Dong Cheng and Fu Wan, Liu Xie was a little scared, once he lost Dong Meiren, once he lost Queen Fu, he... He didn't even know, next time... Who will he lose?

Wei Wei said while appeasing: "Cao thief's usurpation and rebellion are clearly revealed, and now he has been betrayed by the people of Xudu, defeated and retreated to Luoyang, the foundation is unstable, and the people's hearts are not solid, this is a good opportunity from God... If Cao Cao can be killed in one fell swoop, the 5,000 soldiers and horses brought by the minister from Yecheng will be able to control Luoyang City... Jingzhou's Guan family's father and son, the minister has been able to contact, and when the time comes... They will inevitably return from Xu Ducheng to the north to rescue King Qin, and the matter will be done..."

This...

Liu Xie panicked, during the period of the edict... Dong Cheng said the same thing.

It's just that, looking at Wei Wei's resolute eyes, Liu Xie muttered: "That... So what should I do? ”

"Click" Wei Wei knelt down...

Seeing his friend kneeling, Chen Yi also hurriedly knelt.

Wei Wei's voice chanted again, "Please give an edict to Your Majesty, the minister is Your Majesty to get rid of this thief, there are still loyal and righteous people in the Han family, how can you let this thief bully Your Majesty!" Even though... Even if..."

"Even what?" Liu Xie hurriedly asked.

"Even if we don't kill Cao Cao...," Wei said sarcastically, "the minister has other plans, and we will take advantage of the chaos... Rescue Your Majesty to Mangdang Mountain, where there will be soldiers and horses to escort Your Majesty to the south... Flee in the direction of Xudu City! If the father and son of the Guan family heard that His Majesty had fled, they would inevitably go north to respond, so... Your Majesty will be able to escape from the tiger's den..."

- Tiger's den?

Liu Xie pursed his lips, he actually wanted to say, "I'm afraid that I will escape from the tiger's den and enter the wolf's den again..."

But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.

"There's... Are you sure? ”

"Foolproof!" With Wei sarcastic's words...

Liu Xie untied his belt, and the blood on it was clearly visible, "I have already written this edict, and the general will take it... I have lost my uncle, I have lost my beauty, I have lost my queen, I only hope... I don't want to lose my generals again! ”

Last time, when Liu Xie gave Dong Chengyi an edict, he said, "I have my life, and the century-old foundation of the Han family has been entrusted to you, and you can't bear me!"

It's like, it's just that after a few years, this son of suffering, his state of mind is different...

He just wants to live, and he just wants the people around him to live, he wants to escape from this suffering forever and be an ordinary white person...

What he longs for most is freedom!

Wei Weicheng took the edict with trepidation, and solemnly buckled his head, "Your Majesty rest assured, the ministers will not live up to the emperor's grace!" ”

Liu Xie waved his hand, "Go, go..."

Wei Wei retreated to the gate of the palace, Liu Xie suddenly thought of something again, he chased a few steps nervously, "General Wei, you come back... Call him back! ”

Chen Yi's eyes were rolling, as if he was thinking about something in his heart, muttering something, and suddenly heard Liu Xie shouting, he hurriedly caught up with Wei Wei, "Brother Wei, Your Majesty called you back..."

Wei Wei hurriedly returned to the hall...

Liu Xie asked nervously in a low voice: "This matter... This thing... Can you tell the rebel son of the Guan family in Jingzhou in advance? That Seki Shiro... Can... But what can you explain? ”

Just like Liu Xie's chant of "the rebel son of the Guan family"...

Now, the whole Luoyang, the whole Cao Wei who doesn't know, the King of Wei... has repeatedly suffered big losses on the head of this Guan family's rebel.

Therefore, Liu Xie specially mentioned this name, and he was a little eager for Guan Lin's so-called "confession".

Wei Wei replied solemnly: "The minister has already told his people the news, but... Calculating the time, most of the time he hasn't received it yet, so naturally he won't have any explanation, but... The minister expected that Guan Yun Changyi Bo Yuntian and finally the Han family, his son Guan Lin... Although he bears the name of this rebel, he has repeatedly acted as a revital, he... I will definitely support the minister and give the minister a great help! ”

Liu Xie seemed to be a little stunned all of a sudden, and he could only wave his hand weakly.

"Okay, okay, let's go... Go for it..."
