Three Kingdoms: The Reverse Son of the Guan Family, Dragon Blessing Jingxiang

The place where Liu Chan's "coffin" was laid is located directly south of Baidi City. It is a magnificent palace.

A tall wall separates it from the outside city. The walls are all made of four-finger-thick blue bricks and are extremely thick.

The outside of the mansion is connected to all the main thoroughfares in the city. Because of the special status of the memorial person, the four ten-foot-high sentry towers in the four corners are monitored by guards at all times. The person responsible for dispatching these guards is Zhao Yun, Zhao Zilong, the general of the Shu Han Dynasty.

At this moment, in the middle of the night, the entire palace looked like a dormant beast.

Huge tiredness seemed to be shrouded in it... Many ministers and generals who were guarding Liu Chan in the mourning hall had already fallen asleep... If not, they would move their heads to the side and close their eyes to sleep.

In fact, the dead cannot see so many people keeping vigil, but these civil servants and generals always have to do something for the living to see.

Human beings are wise and this has been the case since ancient times.

But even so, after riding a horse for a few days, his body and bones were almost falling apart.

Now I have to keep vigil as soon as I arrive... Even if my body and bones can bear it, my spirit is already weak.

Liu Chan tiptoed to the back door of the mourning hall, and could already hear the sound of snoring while sleeping.

He quietly poked his head out and looked inside, and sure enough, all the civil servants and generals who were usually vigorous and vigorous were now like wilted cucumbers.

He whispered the names one by one and counted them in detail, "Li Yan, Huang Quan, Liu Feng, Wu Yi, Ma Di, Yang Yi...Brother Zhang Bao is here too..."

There are indeed many people who come to keep vigil for Liu Chan...

More is better!

The more people there are, the more confident Liu Chan is.

——"Everything is according to plan!" Master, just watch how I find out the mastermind..."

With this in mind, Liu Chan's little follower Yu Huan came. When Liu Chan saw him, he couldn't wait to ask: "How is it? Has the big fish revealed its flaws?"

Liu Chan deliberately lowered his tone, but his excitement could not be concealed in his words.

However, in stark contrast to Liu Chan's excitement was Yu Tuo's silent expression, "No...no...nothing!"

ah…

ah…

At this time, Liu Chan was startled. He asked Yugao again in astonishment, "What did you say? How could it not be there? Those people I asked you to focus on...them...them..."

Before Liu Chan could say anything, Yu Bo had an innocent look on his face, "I...I watched. Li Yan and Liu Feng had been fast asleep since nightfall. There was no sign of excitement or nervousness at all. Only Wu Yi, She just went to bed a little later, as if she had some thoughts, but I heard someone said that her sister was pregnant with her father's child recently, and so on...Wu Yi thought more about it...it seems...it seems to be reasonable. , the others... even... after expressing their condolences, they knelt down on the ground and fell asleep... completely... not at all what the young master thought... no one was so nervous or excited that they could not sleep, and everyone was even too tired, even No one woke up during the process..."

this…

It was only then that Liu Chan suddenly realized what he was doing, cheating his own death and luring the snake out of its hole...

Liu Chan thought he could do this bad trick played by Master Yunqi, but in fact he was wrong.

The reason why Master Yunqi works is because he is Master Yunqi. Compared to Master Yunqi, Liu Chan is far behind!

The reality is so cruel...

The same situation, completely different effects, Liu Chan's enthusiasm... now was poured a basin of cold water on him... This made him temporarily confused.

For a moment, a sentence appeared in Liu Chan's eyes:

——I am pretending to be lonely!

——It’s not good to die by cheating? I really embarrass Master Yunqi!

——But where am I missing? Was it noticed?

Here, Liu Chan fell into deep self-doubt...

Over there...the moon is shining over my brow, Liu Feng, the man behind the scenes at this moment, where can he sleep again?

The ancients all believed in ghosts and gods. It was obviously him who sent Liu Chan to be killed. Now, in front of such a coffin, he was very frightened...

Will Liu Chan, who turned into a ghost, stretch out his hands and strangle him to death after knowing the truth of all this?

Probably not, that's his cowardly and weak brother!

He couldn't sleep. He wanted to open his eyes and take a look at the coffin. The best way to face fear was to face it head on, but... his eyelids just moved.

A subtle sound of "dong dong" came from the floor. It turned out that someone beside Liu Feng was touching the bluestone floor.

Liu Feng knew that it was Ma Su... who could observe his every move in a state of sleep all the time, and who else could remind him from time to time besides Ma Su?

It was precisely because of Ma Su's reminder to pull the slate that Liu Feng suddenly remembered the past, when he was on the way to Baidi City, and in the carriage, Ma Su made a meticulous and precise analysis.

At that time, Ma Su should first mention that "it is necessary to be on guard against others...", and then swear a blood oath to the world... After he recognized Liu Feng as his master, he asked Liu Feng everything about the assassination.

Liu Feng concealed nothing and told all the details of the assassination.

It's okay not to mention this detail. Ma Di immediately noticed something was wrong, because there was a huge loophole in this assassination operation, or Zhao Yun made a huge mistake, that was the assassin!

In the end, one assassin survived, but Zhao Yun did not capture him and take him to Baidi City to Liu Bei for interrogation. Instead, he lightly stayed there and was tortured and interrogated by the local officials.

This is - extremely weird.

Ma Di told Liu Feng his idea, and Liu Feng asked curiously: "What's weird?"

"If you were Zhao Zilong..." Ma Su spoke seriously, "So...you were unlucky to protect the lord and allowed the assassin to successfully assassinate the young master. How could you not use the murderer as an excuse? Not only must the assassin be handed over to the lord, even if it means death, No matter what! You must let the lord interrogate him in person, so that... you can get rid of your suspicions!"

This... Ma Di's words were a wake-up call for Liu Feng.

Only then did he realize that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.

This is the sense of déjà vu that if you make a mistake, you will fall into the abyss of eternal destruction!

anyway…

As one of the five members of the Ma family, Ma Su was the only one Zhuge Liang accepted as a disciple. He was a talent cultivated by his own children and his successors. He did have some real talents and learning, and he was one of the few people in the Three Kingdoms who understood people's hearts and was good at it. People who look into people's hearts.

call…

call…

After Liu Feng exhaled repeatedly, he grabbed Ma Su's hand and said, "What do you mean? Then maybe Liu Chan faked his death... Maybe this assassination was not successful at all!"

"Yes, but I'm not sure." Ma Su held his head high, showing his proud aura as always, "That's why I said, you must be on guard against others..."

"Then...then what should I do!" Liu Feng panicked for a moment.

However, Ma Di was calm and composed, "Soldiers are coming to block it, and water is coming to cover it up. The first thing that needs to be done is not to show any flaws in the process of sending the letter, such as... keeping vigil——"

Therefore, Ma Di formulated a perfect vigil strategy for Liu Feng. The first step was to go with the flow. They would do what others did, without violating etiquette, not taking the lead, and not being aggressive...

——Just wait and see what happens! Watch and wait for changes!

It is precisely because of this that during the whole process of condoling the letter, Liu Feng did not cry particularly hard because of his elder brother's identity;

Nor did he participate in hosting the entire condolence letter just because of his identity as Liu Bei’s adopted son;

Under Ma Su's constant reminders, he carefully controlled his own sense of proportion, so much so that when he spontaneously stayed for the night vigil, Liu Feng also stayed with everyone, and when he saw everyone sleeping, he also pretended to be asleep. .

He seemed to have used his own actions to resolve the biggest suspicion caused by his "embarrassing identity".

Rather…

The calm night made Liu Feng relax a little. Fortunately, Ma Di knelt down and sat beside him, reminding him all the time that it would be the same this time.

--"call…"

There was a heavy exhale in his heart, and Liu Feng was holding it back uncomfortably. He was still pretending to be asleep, but this kind of pretend sleep was extremely painful... He couldn't help but think.

——"There is no movement now. Could it be that You Chang thinks too much? There is no movement in the first place." 』

Liu Feng just thought of this...

"Sir, you..."

First there was a crisp sound, and then with a "pop", a slave fell directly to the ground. "Young master, you... you... aren't you in the coffin? Ghost... ghost..."

As if, there was always a moment of dawn under the dim moonlight, and the servant who changed the shift came over and saw Liu Chan standing outside the back door...with a long sigh on his face.

He didn't think anything of it at first, but then he suddenly realized, Liu Chan...Ah...Master Adou, is he in the coffin?

Then this...this in front of me is...a ghost?

Immediately, the slave screamed out of fear.

--"Oops! 』

Liu Chan slapped his forehead and muttered in his heart. He just asked Uncle Zilong to hand it over to the servants of that class, but he forgot that there was a shift change.

So...doesn't this reveal something?

However, this doesn't seem to matter, because his plan did not reveal the mastermind...

"Young Master... A living Young Master?"

"You...are you Adou?"

"Can you hear us?"

More and more people surrounded Liu Chan, and there was so much discussion and uproar that Liu Chan felt that his ears were about to explode...

"Okay, okay, okay..." Liu Chanhou shouted anxiously: "Stop talking...stop talking..."

This time, the surroundings became quiet.

It was only then that Liu Chan sighed, "I was just joking with you guys to see which uncle really cares about me. I never thought... so many uncles care about me... Adou's heart So happy, so happy!"

What else can I say…

Liu Chan knew that he messed up this matter.

It was only then that Liu Chan realized what Professor Guan Lin said to him - "What you see on paper will eventually make you realize it is shallow, but you will definitely know that you have to do it in detail"...

To become a person like Master Yunqi and achieve Master Yunqi's achievements is easier said than done...

Easier said than done——

Thinking this in his heart, Liu Chan showed an optimistic side on the surface, "Hahahaha...hahahaha..." He kept giggling.

On the contrary, after hearing Liu Chan's incredible explanation, a group of civil servants and generals looked at each other. Although they didn't say anything, they undoubtedly had two words in their hearts - absurd!

Only Ma Di and Liu Feng did not get close...

Liu Feng felt a little scared, and his whole back was cold. Ma Su squinted his eyes and whispered to Liu Feng: "Sir, what's wrong... I'm right, this is a step on thin ice!"

Liu Feng looked back at Ma Su with infinite approval, "I love you Ma Youchang, like a fish in water... You are my Zhuge Kongming——"

…

This idiom is like a fish in water.

The two real protagonists, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, are currently discussing something in a wing of the palace.

Liu Bei would not hide Adou's death from Zhuge Liang, not to mention that his good friend Fazheng was not in Baidi City. Liu Bei was worried about his health, so he ordered him to stay in Shu to guard.

Because of this, the only person Liu Bei could discuss was Zhuge Liang.

"Kong Ming thinks Adou can do this?"

"Let's talk about the matter..." Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan lightly and shook his head to express his point of view, "The matter of cheating to death is far from that simple. Adou's character and Zilong's integrity are also destined...this cheating of death will only be a cat-like and a tiger-like thing. , a toddler in Handan, and the real mastermind behind the scenes spied some clues, so naturally it’s not a big deal..."

At this point, Zhuge Liang's feather fan stopped, and he began to praise Liu Chan: "However, the fact that Adou can think of this step is already impressive, and it is enough to prove that he has thought and grown. This is something that both my lord and I like to see. , Besides, what Adou said makes sense. The enemy is in the open and he is in the dark, but it is easier to find out the truth! Let this be an experience for Adou!"

Liu Bei deeply believed what Zhuge Liang said.

at this time.

"Lord, military advisor..."

It's Zhao Yun.

"Zilong, come in quickly..." Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were both quite enthusiastic towards Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun quickly reported, "Young Master was discovered just now while exploring the back door of the palace. It was revealed that Young Master faked his death..."

Well…

Zhao Yun's words surprised Liu Bei slightly.

--"So fast? 』

Liu Bei rolled his eyes and asked quickly: "Has Adou found the person behind the scenes?"

"No!" Zhao Yun shook his head, "I have sent people to observe secretly. No one can't sleep because of excitement or worry. They can't bear it after the fatigue all the way. All civil and military personnel fell asleep."

Following Zhao Yun's words, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang looked at each other, as if they had completed a communication through their eyes...

——"As expected! 』

"If you don't find it, maybe you are not from Shu? Whatever... Zilong is also tired from the long journey, so go down and rest first..." Liu Bei ordered Zhao Yun with concern.

"Well..." Zhao Yun was about to leave, but suddenly thought of something, and quickly turned around and reported again: "The last general met the young master just now. The young master said that it would be good if he leaked it, so that... the people behind the scenes would be afraid. So I take action again, the master makes bold words, and next time I must find out the mastermind behind this."

this…

Needless to say, the last words left by Zhao Yun made Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang feel agitated.

Even the same thought came up at the same time.

——"Adou has changed!" Become stronger! 』

It's important to be strong...

Because no one is born strong, but those who are born to be strong are destined to become strong. This is what Liu Chan lacked the most in the past.

Unexpectedly, they never thought that a trip to Jingzhou...an apprenticeship where they had to seek medical treatment due to a serious illness...even solved the catastrophic problem that Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were most worried about.

"Tap-ta-"

Follow Zhao Yun's footsteps walking away.

"Ha ha…"

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang laughed in unison.

Zhuge Liang stroked his beard, "Adou's level of improvement is really incredible..."

Liu Bei didn't have the nerve to praise his son. His eyes were certain and he continued to raise a new question: "Kong Ming, who do you think will assassinate Adou this time?"

"It depends on who is most beneficial!" Zhuge Liang pondered for a while.

Liu Bei also thought for a moment, then opened his mouth, "If it's really a benefit, it can only be...Wu Yi, Liu..."

Liu Bei wanted to say it was Wu Yi and Liu Feng.

Wu Yi is naturally because after Sun Shangxiang left, although Wu Yi's sister has not yet been married to the palace, if she is pregnant with Liu Bei's heir, after getting rid of Liu Chan, she will be Liu Bei's only biological son.

As for Liu Feng, during those years in Jingzhou, Liu Bei suffered from having no children. While frustrated, he expressed his respect for Liu Feng both inside and outside his words.

Maybe...Liu Bei had no hope of having a son, so he wanted to comfort him. The speaker was unintentional, but he couldn't control the listener's intention!

only…

Before Liu Feng could say the word "Feng", Zhuge Liang intercepted his words first, "My lord, if you continue to speak, it will be related to the reserve position. This is my lord's family matter. My lord can talk to me, but because of emotion and reason, I should not." Listen...the master alone has the final say in these matters...No matter who it is, Liang will wholeheartedly help."

As he spoke, Zhuge Liang stood up and solemnly bowed his hands to Liu Bei and said goodbye.

His relationship with Liu Bei is like that of a teacher and a disciple, teaching them everything they have without reservation...

But he always kept each other's identities in mind, and never missed the slightest hint of Liu Bei's etiquette or the etiquette of the Han Dynasty.

——Family affairs are family affairs. If outsiders participate in the lord's family affairs, it is contrary to the way of a minister and the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers.

Of course, that's what I say, but in this world... can someone be as dedicated to the public as Zhuge Kongming? How many more people are there?

At this time, Yang Yi rushed into the wing...

"Military advisor...oh, my lord is here too..."

When Yang Yi saw Liu Bei, he seemed not surprised and quickly presented the battle report he had just received.

"...Lujiang has been conquered, Ruxukou has also been conquered, and Mi Fang has led the Mi family army and Guan family army towards Soochow."

Following Yang Yi's words...

Liu Bei had already read the battle report and immediately handed it to Zhuge Liang, who also scanned it at a glance.

He was a little surprised. "After Yun Chang was replaced, was it so easy to attack Lujiang?"

"Lujiang surrendered to Xiancheng!" Yang Yi quickly explained, "Ruxu was defeated after resistance... Now, Jingzhou has been able to touch Soochow... Soochow is not far from being destroyed -"

Because of her happiness, Yang Yi's voice was quite exciting...

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang also smiled in unison.

The two looked at each other as if saying:

——"This Guan Yunqi?" How many more surprises can it bring to Bashu? 』

…

…

At dusk, the setting sun is like blood.

Wild ducks circled around in their beards, and the shrill cries of crows intertwined with the "crackling" sound of the flames burning the port, making the place even more dilapidated.

Who would have known that just a few days ago, this was the fortress of the Wu Army, a place of heroes that had blocked Cao Wei's troops from going south in Huainan countless times, and countless tombs of heroes were buried here.

But now, in addition to being dilapidated, all the flags symbolizing Soochow have fallen to the ground and been trampled on randomly... Gradually, flags with the word "mi" began to be raised high.

This place is already occupied by Mi Fang.

"kill--"

"Take back Ruxu——"

At this moment, three stern warships docked, followed closely by thousands of Wu soldiers who bravely attacked the Mi family troops stationed on the ground.

Naturally, the ones who responded to them were the thousands of arrows fired by the Mi family army.

only…

The Mi family's army, with its crossbows and continuous crossbows, was unbelievable this time... it was inaccurate, and even... not a single arrow hit.

But unfortunately, Wu Jun's soldiers were brave... The armor on each chest turned bright red for some reason, and then fell down one by one.

Then, several more ships came ashore...

Hundreds of Wu soldiers bravely charged forward again in an attempt to recapture Ruxu, but they encountered "inaccurate" arrows and... the Wu soldiers fell down with their chests red.

turn out to be…

They are all acting here, for the spies of Cao Wei and Soochow.

What shows is the fearlessness of Soochow Zhou Xun's troops. Even though they have lost their beards, they have counterattacked countless times and sacrificed countless times, but they are still counterattacking and sacrificing...

"Kill the thief! Kill the thief! Kill the thief——"

"Take back Ruxu, take back Ruxu——"

The scene becomes more grand and realistic.

Even Zhou Xun was personally involved. There was countless blood on his armor, but the blood was not his blood. To be precise... it was not human blood at all, but pig blood!

"If Ruxu is there, I will be here. If Ruxu is gone, I will be gone...Father, I will follow you -"

As he spoke, Zhou Xun charged hard...

Of course, those arrows that perfectly avoided them did not provide the slightest threat.

"General, withdraw..."

Finally, a small boat from Jianye also arrived. Under the orders of the civil servant on the boat, a group of officers brought Zhou Xun back alive.

Zhou Xun looked at his generals and roared angrily, "Why are you kidnapping me? Let me go and take back Ruxu... I am here and Ruxu is here!"

His voice was as high-pitched as ever...

However, by this time... his voice was extremely hoarse.

"Alas..." The clerk shook his head helplessly, and walked up to Zhou Xun, "General Zhou... Wu Hou sent me to send you back... Wu Hou heard that the general had repeatedly captured the stronghold, regardless of life and death, and lamented the general's loyalty and courage, Changhong Guanri… specially ordered me to kidnap the general even if he…”

"I don't want to go back..." Zhou Xun frantically wanted to rush out of the way of the lieutenants and go to the battlefield like his brothers...

The civil servant said: "Soochow can no longer die loyal ministers. I would like to help the generals to take this Zhou Xun on board the ship...withdraw...withdraw--"

Over here, this "tacit understanding" performance of "talking but not using hands" finally came to an end when Zhou Xun was forcibly taken away.

Over there, Mi Fang stood on a dilapidated height in Ruxukou, witnessing the evacuation of the Soochow navy...

Guan Ping next to him is still upright. "General, do you want to chase? If you don't chase, you will run away..."

Mi Fang sighed and said with emotion: "What I want is for them to run far away and chase after them——"

Well…

Guan Ping understood immediately, and continued to act. Guan Ping was still thinking about scuttling the ships sent by Sun Quan.

At this time, Mi Fang gently stroked her beard, as if she suddenly thought of something, "Pass my military order, the navy must be in a tight formation, Dongwu doesn't care, but the movements of the Wei army must be paid close attention to!"

"Besides... we need to rest for a few days, and then we have to take Jiangdong!"

In fact, there is another interpretation of these last words:

"It's finally time to get rich. Jiangdong...there are so many places. I, Mi Fang, have had a hard time waiting for you——"

…

…
