These two words mentioned by the beggar immediately attracted Guan Lin's attention.
Smelling the aroma of rice, Guan Lin pointed to the kitchen and said to the beggar leader with a smile.
"You haven't eaten yet. Just in time, the rice is ready. Unfortunately, my father is in Jiangling and is very strict, so he can't eat beef, otherwise the juice from the beef will overflow his tongue."
Guan Lin seemed to have noticed Ma Bing, and waved to him, "Ma Bing, come together!"
…
The barbecue was burning on the stove, and the warm wine was steaming. Guan Lin took out the hot wine from the wine, poured it for Ma Bing and the beggar, cut off two pieces of barbecue, and sent them to each of them.
on their plate.
Ma Bing looked frightened and said, "A gentleman is far away from the kitchen, so how can Cao Yu do such a thing himself?"
Guan Lin replied with a smile: "Isn't it said in "Six Tao" that 'the sword must cut, the ax must cut'? Opportunities dictate that when something needs to be done, you must do it."
Guan Lin's conversation seemed to have something in it, but the beggar was confused.
"Haha!" Guan Lin smiled and turned to him, "What did you mention just now? The Mi family? The gambling game?"
"Reply to the official! Yes!" The beggar hurriedly swallowed the hot barbecue. He didn't have time to taste the taste. He knew everything, "The war in Hefei was very popular among the people. Some said Soochow won, and some said Cao Jun won.
Win, no, the gambling house has also opened a gambling game. If you bet on Soochow to win, you can exchange ten buckets of rice for eleven buckets of rice. If you bet on Cao Jun, you can exchange one bucket of rice for eleven buckets of rice."
oh…
These words directly stunned Guan Lin.
These odds gave him a sense of déjà vu at the World Cup in later generations.
He especially remembered that in his previous life, during a certain World Cup, he had placed a heavy bet on a certain team to win, but was overturned by a certain player... He even lost his girlfriend and ran away.
On the contrary, he was from the dormitory next door. By chance, he made the wrong purchase and bet heavily on a certain winner. As a result, his girlfriend didn’t mind that he had another girlfriend!
Looking back, this is a sad story.
But now, the odds are still the same, but the difference is that the standard answer is right in front of you.
Paying eleven to one, isn't this a huge profit?
"How much money is left in the treasury?"
Guan Lin looked at Ma Bing, his eyes becoming serious.
this…
Ma Bing felt that Guan Lin's gaze was very penetrating, as if he wanted to eat him, ah no... to be precise, as if he wanted to eat the treasury.
He stumbled and said: "As for food, there are still a few hundred dendrobiums left."
"Bring them all forward." Guan Lin ordered.
Following his words, Ma Bingdao: "Does Cao Yu want to go all-in on Soochow to win?"
Well…
This sentence directly made Guan Lin open his eyes wide, "Do you have any misunderstanding about me? How can you be able to arrest Soochow?"
Guan Lin waved his hand, "All bet on Cao's army to win! Just do it in the name of Cao Cao's official, lest the Mi family casino refuses to admit it!"
At this time, Ma Bing was stunned.
He had only heard of Guan Lin's "evil reputation" and knew that he was not even afraid of Guan Gong and that he was an "unstinting" master.
But I have never heard of the "Hefei Battle Results" mentioned in Guan Lin's answer sheet.
In fact, Guan Lin's answer sheet has become an absolute secret in Jiangling City.
only…
"Cao Chu..." Ma Bing gritted his teeth and asked with difficulty, "Do Cao Chu and General Mi Fang know each other?"
"I don't know you!" Upon hearing this name, Guan Lin waved his hands in disgust.
"Then why did Cao Peng rush to donate all the money from the treasury to his Mi family?" Ma Bing looked like he was about to cry without tears.
this…
Guan Lin paused and tapped his forehead with his right hand.
It wasn't about the money, but Ma Bing's reminder that made him realize the Mi family again.
Speaking of which, the Mi family was originally a wealthy businessman in Xuzhou. First, Mi Zhu, the patriarch, was appointed by Tao Qianzheng to work as a special agent. Later, Tao Qian sent Xuzhou to Xuzhou and welcomed Liu Bei on his deathbed, becoming his guest.
Of course, I will not go into detail here about the disputes between the celebrity sect, the common people sect, and the Danyang sect in Xuzhou City during the Three Reconciliations of Xuzhou period.
To put it simply, the Mi family invested in Liu Bei and provided him with great help when Liu Bei was in his lowest period.
In the first year of Jian'an, Lu Bu made a surprise attack on Xiapi, captured Liu Bei's wife, and severely defeated Liu Bei's army. At that time, Liu Bei was almost in despair.
——No soldiers, no food, even my wife is gone!
It's the Mi family again.
When Liu Bei's wife was captured, the Mi family married their younger sister to Liu Bei;
Liu Bei had no army, so the Mi family donated 2,000 members of the family and gold, silver and silk to help Liu Bei build an army. This allowed Liu Bei to regain his strength.
Nowadays, the eldest brother Mi Zhu, a brother of the Mi family, followed Liu Bei into Yizhou and became the general of Anhan. His position was especially superior to Zhuge Liang. Mi Fang was appointed as the prefect of Nanjun and stationed troops in Jiangling.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Mi family is Liu Bei's most trusted family, no one!
However, only Guan Lin knows.
It happened that it was such a "most trusted" family that four years later in Jiangling committed the "most shameless" backstab in history.
This move caused Liu Bei to lose all Jingzhou;
Guan Yu was defeated in Maicheng;
It was also the source of the fire in Yiling;
From then on, the great cause of prospering the Han Dynasty only existed in ideals and hopes!
Thinking of this, Guan Lin's casual smile completely subsided, his expression became sharp and solemn, he added a piece of barbecue to the two of them, and then asked seriously.
——"Come and tell me what you know about the Mi family!"
Ma Bing scratched his head and reminded, "I dare to remind Cao Peng that Guan Gong will go to Chibi by land and water to attend Lu Su's banquet. Several young masters and ladies are going to the port to see him off. Can't Cao Peng go and see him off?"
this…
Guan Lin rolled his eyes, wasn't he going to the meeting alone?
What do you get here?
Just casually, won’t you come back?
With this in mind, Guan Lin said seriously: "Why send him away? Just because my father is gone, we can eat beef. By the way... what did you just mention? Tell me about the Mi family you know!"
…
…
Guan Yu was dressed in casual clothes, while Ma Liang was dressed in Confucian robes, and they rode together.
Ahead is the port. A awning boat has been prepared at the port, and the boatman and Zhou Cang have been waiting on the boat.
"In my opinion, since Zhou Gongjin, the people of Jiangdong have not been so upright. Even if the other party is Lu Zijing, Guan Gong still needs to be careful."
This is Ma Liang's advice for the umpteenth time.
This time we went to Chibi Lukou and the center of the river. Guan Yu only took Zhou Cang with him and had one sword. In Ma Liang's opinion, even though Guan Yu was unparalleled in martial arts, the place was still very dangerous.
What's more, to say the least, even if Jiangdong didn't have any evil tricks, the changes in the battlefield situation in Hefei would force Guan Yu to make completely different actions.
Even the most violent ones.
One person and one sword force Lu Su to sign a contract and give up Jingzhou!
This is the most dangerous thing.
"There are a bunch of rats in Jiangdong, why should Guan be afraid?" As always, Guan Yu maintained his pride.
"Nevertheless..." Ma Liang was still worried as he was about to leave the city.
Guan Yu waved his hand to signal him to be silent. At the port in front of him, except for Zhou Cang standing on the boat holding the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, Guan Ping, Guan Xing, Guan Yinping, and Guan Suo had already been waiting here to bid farewell to their father.
"Father."
The three sons and one daughter all raised their hands.
Guan Yu's face was calm, but his heart was somewhat moved. These children were all worried about him!
Just when he thought of this, Guan Yu's brows suddenly knitted together.
He discovered that, unexpectedly and unexpectedly, there was one missing person among his children, Guan Lin.
He asked calmly: "Yun Qi didn't come?"
Guan Suo handed over his hand and said, "Fourth brother is serving as the thief Cao Cao. I guess it's official business."
"Why are you on official business? I just saw him drinking and eating meat!" Guan Xing waved his hand, looking angry and unknown.
He turned to Guan Yu and said: "The boy just went to call his fourth brother. The fourth brother said, 'Father is going to the meeting alone. It's just a trivial matter. What can I give you?'"
