hehe…

Yang Yi smiled and murmured in his heart.

——"Guan Gong, Guan Gong, stop pretending, I know you...you never leaked the test questions to Mr. Yun Qi."

Yang Yi thought so in her heart, but she said it with her mouth.

"It's the official who made a mistake."

Guan Yu immediately ordered Zhou Cang, "Kong Ming's examination of Yun Qi is really a big deal, so spread the word to Yun Qi quickly..."

"Here!" Zhou Cang agreed and walked away quickly.

Zhang Fei seemed to have thought of something, "Second brother, I look at this guy Yun Qi's temper. Zhou Cang may not be able to bring him!" "I'll go too. I just heard someone say that when he came out of the prefect's mansion yesterday,

This kid went to the outskirts of Xicheng City, where Kong Ming’s father-in-law’s villa seems to be, and I happened to drop by to visit him!”

When he said these words, Zhang Fei remembered what Zhuge Liang told him before leaving Chengdu.

——"Hong Qigong has a great relationship with Jingzhou. It is necessary to investigate his true identity!"

——"You might as well go and sit with my father-in-law, Huang Chengyan. He settled in the "Mianshui" Villa in the western suburbs of Jiangling half a year ago. Perhaps, you can find out the truth about Hong Qigong once you go there."

These words were imprinted on Zhang Fei's forehead.

Now, it's time to go and find out.

However, there were some discrepancies in what Zhuge Liang said. At this moment... Zhang Fei had more than one 'Hong Qigong' to ask for advice.

He was also very curious about the identity of ‘Huang Laoxie’…

What's more, after hearing what the second brother said just now, Huang Laoxie seems to have a close relationship with this guy Guan Lin.

Thinking of this, Zhang Fei shook his head. His brain circuit could not understand these twists and turns.

He simply cupped his hands and said, "Second brother, farewell!"

Without waiting for Guan Yu to reply, Zhang Fei ran out of the room in a hurry.

Ma Liang gently stroked his beard, "The three generals really haven't changed at all!"

When Yang Yi heard this, he subconsciously murmured, "Guan Gong, on the other hand, seems to have changed a lot... He is no longer as domineering and arrogant as before!"

…

…

On the outskirts of the west city of Jiangling, withered yellow leaves are falling to the ground one after another. This autumnal season is the most suitable for reciting a poem.

The sun is warm and the warm breeze is intoxicating.

Guan Lin and Huang Chengyan were sitting on soft cushions respectively, with a chessboard in the middle. Accompanied by the "clang" sound of workmanship in the villa, the two of them were playing chess as if they were turning a deaf ear.

Behind him, Huang Chengyan's donkey has gained a lot of weight recently and is chewing grass leisurely...

In front of me, the chess game was already halfway through. Guan Lin, holding white, had the upper hand. Huang Chengyan, holding black, was behind. Although he was lagging behind, his territory was still much larger than Guan Lin's.

As the chess game became clearer and clearer, Huang Chengyan slowly started talking.

"When you asked for the repeating crossbow made in the workshop, the wooden ox and the horse, and the word 'Huang Lao Xie' was left on the side carriage, I was still doubtful at that time, why did you choose the word 'Xie'? Now, the whole thing is done

End, I just realized... you are indeed a very evil boy, and you really deserve the word 'evil'."

Guan Lin dropped the white piece in his hand on the chessboard.

He smiled and asked: "Evil? I am so upright? Where is the evil?"

Huang Chengyan laughed and dropped the black piece in his hand onto the chessboard, blocking Guan Lin's surging offensive.

"Being able to draw the production diagrams of these ordnances is considered a small evil!"

"... and use this batch of ordnance to attract competition from all parties, use their greed and determination to win, and lead them into the trap step by step. In this way, they also earn face and face. The money gained from this bluff alone... is not

A small amount, right? Isn’t this a sin?”

"After that, I used this batch of ordnance to lure Cao's army in Xiangfan out of the city and into an encirclement. At the same time, I sold two goods for one thing, which led to a big fight between Jiaozhou and Soochow... The two tigers fought, and the hunter benefited. This deployment and planning was so sophisticated.

, isn’t that considered an old evil?”

Speaking of which…

Guan Lin couldn't help but interrupt, "Old Huang, you are only half right in what you said. It was right to lure Cao Jun out of Xiangfan...but...it was not so true to lead Jiaozhou and Soochow to fight."

"At least the information I got is that the power behind the Jiangdong woman is the Lu family, one of the four major families in Wu County, and they are no match for the Sun family!"

The black spot in Huang Chengyan's hand shook and he said: "Are you really not aware or are you pretending not to know that Lu Xun and Lu Boyan's wife is Sun Ce's daughter Sun Ru? The Lu family and the Sun family have broken bones and connected tendons!"

oh…

Guan Lin scratched his head, he really hadn't thought about this aspect.

His original intention was to sell two goods for one thing and attract two tigers to compete for food.

It doesn’t matter if you are from Soochow or the Lu family, as long as you are from Jiangdong.

This is because although Jiaozhou is nominally affiliated to Soochow, in fact, because Soochow plunders and exploits the "resources" of the Jiaozhou area, the people of Jiaozhou hate Soochow from the bottom of their hearts.

It’s just because of his lustful power!

As a result, when enemies meet, they may become extremely jealous and fight over disagreements.

Just now, Guan Lin also received a flying pigeon from Shi Huolong and others.

It's done.

Everything went smoothly.

Now, all the money of the "two families" is in the hands of the beggar gang, and the goods are in the hands of the Changsha prefect. The "Lu" family in Wu County and the "Shi" family in Jiaozhou are trying to draw water from a bamboo basket but in vain.

With this in mind, Guan Lin waved his hand coolly, "Sun Ru, just Sun Ru, it's not important... What's important is that we are not short of money, right?"

Speaking of this, Guan Lin didn't panic, but turned around and looked at the workshop behind him, "Old Huang, anyway, you are the only manor in the suburbs of the west city. You might as well build more and bring in more beggars."

Is this workmanship good?"

"In this way... the efficiency of the workshop and forging workshop will be higher. Besides, these beggars are calling 'Master Huang' and 'Master Huang' all day long. You won't be so lonely anymore, right?"

Speaking of loneliness…

Huang Chengyan subconsciously thought of his precious daughter Huang Yueying.

When I entered Shu, it was quite rare to see him...

After entering Shu, how could anyone be seen for two consecutive years?

The loneliness of his daughter outside was originally filling his heart.

But... it's true as Guan Lin said, because there are a large number of beggars around him, each one calling "Master", which makes Huang Chengyan feel that every day is very fulfilling, how can there be any loneliness?

"If you don't talk about this...it's your turn."

Huang Chengyan reminded.

Guan Lin did not hesitate to make a bold move.

Huang Chengyan was slightly startled, "You are an orphan. Haha, you want to pull the trigger, but on the chessboard... it's not easy to pull the trigger!"

"How will you know if you don't try?" Guan Lin replied with a smile.

Huang Chengyan mentioned the new sunspot and sighed, "Speaking of which, this time you just used some beggars and some ordnance, and you stirred up the changes in the entire Jingzhou situation!"

"It's you, the 'initiator' who hides behind the scenes, not showing up, not leaking out... But just like that, everything is always under your control, just like this chessboard. You seem to be at a disadvantage... but in fact, you are killing every step of the way. This

The mind reminds me of someone."

Follow Huang Chengyan’s words.

Guan Lin said with a smile. "Old Huang, you must be thinking of Jiang Ziya who lived for 800 years in the Zhou Dynasty, and Zhang Zifang who lived in the Han Dynasty for 400 years... Oh, although I, Guan Lin, am excellent, I am still a little inferior to Jiang Taigong and Zhang Mousheng.

Lost..."

"Of course, if you compare me to Guan Zhong, Le Yi, etc., I will accept it reluctantly!"

hehe…

Guan Lin's words made Huang Chengyan laugh sadly.

I have seen people who feel good about themselves, but never seen people who feel so good about themselves!

"Hahaha..." Huang Chengyan laughed out loud, "Whoever you say is who..."

He didn't argue with Guan Lin either.

Guan Lin became interested, "Old Huang, who is it? Tell me! It can't be your precious son-in-law, right?"

"You are worse than Zhuge Kongming." Huang Chengyan was not polite, "If it were him, at least he would not humiliate Li Miao, a famous scholar in Shu!"

When it comes to the inside, Huang Chengyan's tone becomes more serious.

"After all, you are still young and vigorous. This time you have humiliated Li Miao so much. How can he let it go with his temperament? If you don't guard against gentlemen, beware of villains!"

Huang Chengyan's words became more and more serious.

When he was young, he suffered such a loss.
