Chapter 1 In Gangneung City
At the end of the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an (AD 219), Jiangling City has entered the cold winter.
The cold wind is bleak and everything is depressed.
And in a pavilion in the prefect's mansion in Jiangling City, there was a handsome young man standing.
At this time, his heart was as cold as the weather at that time.
This young man is wearing a snow-white fur coat and holds a gilt copper stove in his hand. The slowly burning flame in the copper stove is dispelling the coldness in the young man's hands.
And the fur coat he is wearing is also a good thing to keep out the cold. Normally, with this kind of clothing, no matter how cold the weather is,
Young people should not feel the chill either.
But what others didn't know was that this young man was not feeling cold, but feeling cold.
This young man is Mi Yang, the only son of Mi Fang, the prefect of Nanjun.
But at the same time, his body is inhabited by a soul from later generations.
Mi Yang raised his head and looked at the gloomy sky. He seemed to be out of breath under the heavy clouds.
As the only son of Mi Fang, the prefect of Nanjun, Mi Yang not only had to get wind and rain in Jiangling City, but he also had enough food and clothing, and his status was extremely noble.
With such an identity, among all the time-travelers, his starting point is not low. According to common sense, what else is there for Mi Yang to worry about, and what is so good about Versailles?
But is it good to be Mi Fang's son?
As a time traveler, Mi Yang sneered at this.
Being Mi Fang's son was already hard for Mi Yang to accept. What made Mi Yang even more devastated was that the year he traveled back in time was the 24th year of Jian'an!
After traveling through time, Mi Yang knew what year it was now through insinuations, and also learned about all the major events happening in the world today.
Not long ago, the former Han general Guan Yu flooded seven armies in Fancheng, captured Cao Wei General Jin alive, and killed Cao Wei General Pang De in formation, which shocked China for a while.
When the news reached Jiangling City, everyone in the city cheered and praised Guan Yu. The morale of the army and the people was boiling like a fierce fire.
But in Jiangling City, two people were worried about the news.
One is Mi Fang, the current governor of Nanjun, and the other is Mi Yang.
The reason why Mi Fang was so worried was simply because she was worried that Guan Yu would settle his scores after returning from a great victory.
And Mi Yang will be worried because he has foreseen the next series of tricks of his cheap father Mi Fang.
Comrade Mi Fang, who was ranked as one of the "Top Ten Villains" of Douyin in later generations, his subsequent saucy maneuvers not only dragged Guan Yu into the abyss, but also destroyed half of Liu Bei's ideal of restoring the Han Dynasty.
It also pushed the Mi clan into the pillar of shame in history. Faced with such serious consequences, how could Mi Yang not feel chilled and worried?
Since Mi Yang traveled through time and became Mi Fang's son, he and Mi Fang will both prosper and suffer.
Then he must stop the stupid thing Mi Fang will do next, otherwise Mi Yang's life will be ruined.
Just when Mi Yang was thinking about how to stop his cheap father Mi Fang from doing stupid things, a young man dressed as a servant hurriedly walked in from not far from the pavilion.
Mi Yang's eyes lit up when he saw this man. Before the servant could reach the pavilion, Mi Yang walked out instantly, came to the servant, and asked eagerly,
"I asked you to stay outside the prefect's courtyard, but you found something unusual?"
Seeing Mi Yang coming out to ask questions, the servant was so frightened that he quickly saluted. Seeing this scene, Mi Yang was furious. How long had he not cared about these etiquettes?
Mi Yang quickly stopped the servant from saluting and asked him again, "Have you noticed anything unusual?"
Mi Yang's tone at this time was not only anxious, but also a little stern.
Mi Zhong, who was Mi Yang's personal servant, knew how bad his master's mood was at this time, so he did not dare to delay any longer and quickly reported to Mi Yanghui,
"I have listened faithfully to the young master's instructions and have been guarding outside the palace for the past few days. Originally, there was nothing unusual in the past few days.
But today, Zhong discovered a sneaky person who entered his house under the personal welcome of the Lord."
Hearing what Mi Zhong said, Mi Yang's heart skipped a beat, and he asked Mi Zhong again,
"Where do you think that person is from?"
Mi Zhong seemed to recall the man's appearance and behavior, and finally said with a firm tone,
"There is no doubt that he is from Jiangdong."
In ancient times, transportation was inconvenient, and local customs and customs varied greatly. The differences in customs between adjacent counties may be as great as the differences between countries.
Therefore, it is easy to judge a person's place of origin from his dress and accent.
After hearing that Mi Fang welcomed a person from Jiangdong into the house to spy, Mi Yang suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Everything that should have happened in history is happening quickly according to his inertia.
It was almost here and Mi Yang didn't have much time to think of a good way to stop this.
Previously, because Mi Yang came from a later generation and knew that Mi Fang would surrender to Sun Quan later, he had guessed that maybe Sun Quan would send a messenger to hook up with Mi Fang before he officially sent troops.
After all, Jiangling is an important town that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Sun Quan would not have easily raised his troops to backstab Guan Yu without obtaining Jiangling's defender Mi Fang's promise to surrender in advance.
Under this suspicion, Mi Yang sent his confidants to guard outside Mi Fang's house, just to find out how far Sun Quan's attack on Jingzhou had progressed. Now it seems that,
Sun Quan has already begun to openly send envoys to hook up with his advantageous father Mi Fang, so it is likely that he will raise his army within these few days!
Thinking of this, Mi Yang angrily smashed the copper stove in her hand on the ground.
He said bitterly, "Wu Thief is disgusting!"
Mi Yang's scene frightened Mi Zhong who was standing beside him. He had been following Mi Yang since he was a child and knew that his young master had a gentle temperament and rarely became so angry.
Mi Zhong didn't know why Mi Yang was angry, so he spoke cautiously,
"Mr. Lang, please calm down. Jiangdong has a treaty with me in Jingzhou, so it is normal for envoys from Jiangdong to come to visit the prince. Why should the prince be angry because of this?"
From Mi Zhong's point of view, Mi Yang's angry look was really confusing to Zhang Er.
Seeing Mi Zhong's puzzled look, Mi Yang couldn't help but sigh.
Mi Zhong's thoughts are exactly what most people in Jingzhou think today. They believe that Jiangdong is an ally, so most of them did not expect that Sun Quan would suddenly lead his army to attack Jingzhou later.
It is precisely because of this that Sun Quan's sneak attack on Jingzhou went so smoothly.
Facing Mi Zhong's confusion, Mi Yang sighed and said,
"It is true that Jiangdong has an alliance with me in Jingzhou, but the king ordered General Guan to guard Jingzhou with a false axe. So if Jiangdong sends an envoy, he should go to Xiangyang to contact General Guan. How can he come to Jiangling City to communicate with his father?"
"Furthermore, if there is a normal interaction, my father can receive Jiangdong's envoy in the meeting hall of the mansion, so why should he be welcomed into the bedroom for a secret conversation?"
After listening to Mi Yang say this, Mi Zhong seemed thoughtful.
But at this time, Mi Yang had already made a decision in his heart. He said to Mi Zhong,
"Follow me and go to meet your father!"
Indecisiveness leads to disaster,
Since God doesn’t give him time,
Then Mi Yang will take a gamble!
