Chapter 100 This family will be broken up without him!
Under the Victory Bridge, faced with the questioning of Shi Huolong and You Tanzhi.
"Fourth Young Master? It's easy to talk about things, but the price..."
Guan Lin's answering voice was always loud and clear, which was in line with his usually carefree character.
"How can there be any sense in negotiating the price in front of so many people? That's good...tomorrow morning, you guys come to the Thief Cao Chu's Mansion, and we close the door and talk in detail..."
At this point, as if he was afraid that the two of them would be worried, Guan Lin patted the two of them heavily on the shoulders, "Don't worry, the price I gave you must be fair!"
Speaking of this, Guan Lin smiled at the two of them and immediately raised his hands.
He walked directly to Guan Xing and Guan Yinping and said, "Second brother, third sister...Thank you very much. If you want Xiaomi, I will send someone to deliver it to you tomorrow. I won't let the brothers work in vain."
After saying this, Guan Lin waved his hands towards Shi Huolong and You Tanzhi again.
"Let's go. It's agreed. I, Guan Lin, have ordered all the goods. We will meet tomorrow to discuss the details."
As he spoke, Guan Lin really wanted to leave...
Shi Huolong and You Tanzhi were not surprised. This was all arranged "in the script".
This is what "Hong Qigong" arranged, and the plan went smoothly.
But Guan Yinping...
After walking out of the car formation, she was briefly stunned by the effect of this "strange chariot", and then she seemed to suddenly think of something.
"Fourth brother, wait for me..."
Guan Yinping shouted, and immediately she ordered her infantrymen to return to their camps, and then chased Guan Lin.
This "ordnance" has been tried, and battles have been fought.
Then...it's time to talk about other issues, such as...the leakage issue that she talks about on the screen every month.
Although this... is quite unspeakable.
But Guan Yinping had no choice, either her mouth was comfortable or her crotch was comfortable.
——"What's so unspeakable!"
Guan Yinping couldn't help but cheer herself up in her heart.
Of course, this is not a problem at all for men.
But for female generals, they have to ride horses for a long time, and there are many strenuous and high-intensity exercises in the training. If they are always leaking, it will definitely be uncomfortable, and they will not be able to concentrate.
Seeing that Guan Lin has gone away...
Guan Yinping's shout came out again, "Fourth brother, please walk slower!"
…
On this side, the ordnance test was also tried, and Guan Lin and Guan Yinping also left.
A group of knights dusted themselves off.
They were convinced of this sidecar, after all, it could withstand the slashing of their village commander Guan Xing's powerful Shen Qinglong Yanyue Sword.
Although it was a bit embarrassing to lose.
But in the end, the loss was not unfair, not to mention that there was still millet to gain, so the knights were quite happy.
Guan Xing, on the other hand, had soldiers fetching horses for him. He did not mount the horse, nor did he speak. He just murmured and looked at the chariots and the formation of the chariots.
Even now, Guan Xing could not think of a way to break this "car formation".
His mood also became mixed.
He even thought that it would be great if he was as wealthy as his fourth brother, and he would also buy ten of these chariots.
At least…
In this way, a group of hundreds of soldiers under his command will be able to produce many more changes on the battlefield, and the cooperation between the arms will be more flexible.
And, the most, most, most importantly... the survivability will be greatly enhanced.
Shi Huolong and You Tanzhi called on their servants to pack up their chariots, crossbows, wooden oxen, and horses.
They had already booked a wine shop to store these small amounts of "ordnance" samples!
The curtain fell, the excitement passed, and the people dispersed one after another...
However, many people still had unfinished thoughts and were whispering while getting off the bridge.
"What price will the Fourth Young Master give for these ordnances?"
"From what Fourth Young Master means, I'm afraid the price I'll give you won't be low."
"Having said that, Guan Gong's arsenal has nothing to do with the Fourth Young Master. If the Fourth Young Master wants to prove himself, he will definitely purchase this batch of ordnance. Alas, with the relationship between the Fourth Young Master and Guan Gong, it will not be easy for him to win against Guan Gong in a bet and win over the Guan family's army.
!”
At this moment, a voice came from the crowd. "Nothing is difficult. As the saying goes, 'money makes the world go round'... We, the Fourth Young Master, have nothing but money..."
Under this voice, another voice came.
"What if Guan Gong also wants this batch of ordnance?"
This question was answered immediately.
"There is no need to ask this question at all. With the temperament of the Fourth Young Master, Guan Gong has to give him a letter of guilt. He also asked Guan Gong to apologize in front of the whole city. Do you think... the Fourth Young Master will use these weapons?
Give it to Guan Gong!"
"But if he doesn't let me, does Guan Gong have no other choice? This is Jiangling City, and Guan Gong has the final say in Jiangling City."
An old man also expressed his opinion, "I'm afraid it's not that simple, but... it would be interesting if father and son had a dispute over this matter!"
On this side of the room, people were talking one after another.
Over there.
Guan Yu has already shown a strong interest in this batch of ordnance.
Even, in his opinion, the mid-range destructive power brought by this repeating crossbow, the stranding of ships brought by this wooden cattle and horses, the ability to transport grain and grass, and this sidecar that can be called the 'cavalry nemesis'...
All of these can play a "pivotal" role in the upcoming dry season and the upcoming Northern Expedition to Xiangfan.
"Tan Zhi Ke, I understand. Without further ado, go and talk to this merchant tonight and finalize the price. How much, my father will take it all!"
Guan Yu's voice came out again.
only…
Guan Ping's eyes were a little evasive, unlike in the past when he regarded his father's words as if they were gods.
This time, he hesitated a little, and his expression was even more complicated.
He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but his throat seemed to be choked involuntarily. He didn't know whether he couldn't open his mouth or just didn't dare to speak.
"Have you ever learned to be so coy and say what you have to say?"
Guan Yu showed a slightly dissatisfied look and angrily scolded Guan Ping.
Guan Ping then opened his mouth, "Father, can you... leave the negotiation with the merchants to others... I'm afraid I'm not up to the task."
Hmm…
Guan Yu didn't expect Guan Ping to make such a request.
This is - what?
Guan Yu quickly frowned: "Tanzhi, why don't you want to do it?"
Guan Ping bit his lip gently, facing his father's increasingly condensed gaze, Guan Ping said, "The fourth brother's voice was so loud just now that everyone in the city knew that he had already ordered the arms of the Jiaozhou merchant and made an appointment tomorrow.
Negotiating the price in the thief Cao Tong's house...but...but if it's a child..."
Guan Ping said half of what he said.
The meaning couldn’t be more clear…
As the elder brother, how could he negotiate with the merchants secretly and seize this batch of "ordnance" in advance?
Isn't this the behavior of a villain?
If this reaches the ears of the fourth brother, he doesn't know how much he will hate his elder brother.
In addition, recently, the fourth brother has repeatedly demonstrated his talent...
Because of the fourth brother's fearless temperament, even his father refused to give in, tit for tat.
Guan Ping feels...
As the eldest brother, he must not be able to withstand the revenge of his fourth brother.
In the Guan family, there is already a father and son who are at war with each other. We cannot let another pair of brothers follow in the same footsteps!
After all, Guan Ping was worried about Guan Lin, but more importantly, as the eldest son, he had to maintain the peace of the family.
But unfortunately, on one side is the father, on the other side is the fourth brother...
Their temperaments, if they want to be at peace... how can it be so easy?
well…
Guan Ping sighed helplessly.
For a moment, he would have such an idea in his mind.
——Without him, Guan Ping would have to break up!
call…
Guan Yu, on the other hand, did not get angry as expected when he heard Guan Ping's words. Instead, he was pleased that Guan Ping would think so.
He is a strict father, but under a strict father, it is always good for the whole Guan family if the eldest brother is kinder.
Ma Liang also spoke at the right time, "Confucius said that a country can be governed by courtesy, so what's the point? If a country cannot be governed by courtesy, then what's the point of courtesy? The eldest son has this 'humility breeds harmony', and he can be courteous to both superiors and subordinates. This is
Guan Gong teaches his children well!"
The meaning of Ma Liang's words... was obviously to praise Guan Ping, but in fact, he was silently siding with Guan Ping.
Although he also thinks that these weapons are excellent, "taking love with a sword", let alone taking love from the fourth son Guan Lin, will inevitably be a bit...
Frankly speaking, Ma Liang is not afraid of trouble, but he is afraid of complications.
Nowadays, in many decisions... he and Guan Yu must take care of the mood of the fourth son, Guan Lin!
only…
After a brief pause, Guan Yu opened his mouth again.
"Since you frankly don't want to do it, then let's do it with General Zhou. General Zhou is my confidant. You take action... The merchant will naturally understand what it means."
Even though Ma Liang and Guan Ping sided with each other, Guan Yu still had no intention of changing his mind.
In fact, he won't change his mind.
Such ordnance is very important for the Northern Expedition during the dry season, and now Guan Yu also urgently needs a victory to bring Cao Cao back to the Jingzhou battlefield.
Only in this way... can we share the pressure from our eldest brother in Yizhou!
Only then can the elder brother have enough time to completely solve all the problems in Yizhou.
Only then can the eldest brother completely secure Yizhou!
People say that parents have far-reaching plans for their children.
But in Guan Yu's opinion, if it was for his eldest brother, he would not hesitate to cheat his son even this time.
——"Yun Qi, it's not that my father wants to steal your weapons this time, but actually...this weapon is related to the safety of my eldest brother, and I have to steal it!"
With this in mind, Guan Yu looked at Zhou Cang again.
"General Zhou, how are you?"
this…
To Guan Yu's expectation, Zhou Cang actually showed a bit of hesitation.
At this moment, Zhou Cang's mood was mixed.
——"If you do this, you will offend the Fourth Young Master. If you don't do it, you will offend Guan Gong. I...I am having a hard time!"
After hesitating again and again, Zhou Cang looked troubled and cupped his hands.
"Guan Gong, I'm a rough guy. I'm not very familiar with money and grain. I'm afraid it was originally worth 500 yuan. If you ask me to talk to Zhoucang, it will probably become 5,000 yuan. I can go there too.
, it’s just... I’m afraid that I’ll miss Guan Gong’s business, and I hope Guan Gong will think again, there must be someone more suitable than a rough guy like me.”
Hmm…
Zhou Cang's words surprised Guan Yu.
Even Zhou Cang, did he... also refuse?
He sighed inwardly.
——"Maybe it's because of Yunqi, right?"
For a moment, Guan Yu's eyes sank, and he felt the oppression brought by this boy Guan Lin again.
Undoubtedly, this time the sense of oppression is even worse than before.
——"This boy Yun Qi..."
Guan Yu complained in his heart. Now, he was in trouble. He wanted to get this batch of ordnance, but he couldn't negotiate it in person.
Of course, Guan Yu admitted that he also had concerns.
What if it was really him who took action personally?
The next day, Guan Lin was able to speak eloquently again and shouted in public - "Father, my child, please make another letter of sin to yourself"!
Then, Guan Yu would definitely be extremely embarrassed.
If word of this spreads again, what will happen if a father steals his son's weapons?
In addition, Guan Yu's identity determines that if he takes action, it will be a final decision, and there will be no room for change...
Now, he is just going to have preliminary negotiations with this Jiaozhou merchant, and it is far from the time when the coffin is finalized. There is no need for him to rush to the strongest point.
only…
This time... I'm completely in trouble!
Who else could be sent?
At this moment, Mi Fang, who had been silent for a long time, her eyes fixed, and he took the initiative to ask Ying: "Yun Chang, how about...sending me?"
yes…
Mi Fang was in a hurry to negotiate.
He has been in the arms business and is willing to have a good chat with other arms dealers.
Coupled with the other party's series of "arms", it shows extremely strong strength. If the other party is not protected, the Mi family can still use it to negotiate and build a bridge...to cooperate with the other party in business.
This is a big deal once and for all, and it is an opportunity to recover the losses.
The words left her mouth, and Mi Fang blinked her eyes repeatedly, unable to hide the expectation and pleading in her eyes.
"Yun Chang, we are brothers who share the same enemy... I understand this... The eldest son, General Zhou, and you, Yun Chang, will inevitably have to take care of the fourth son's mood, but the fourth son also has to take care of my mood, right?
?Isn’t the money he spent to buy arms still the money and food provided by my Mi family?”
"There is also the money and food in Jiangling City's treasury. After all, I, the prefect, should be in charge of it. Chief Yun, no matter what, you have to send me to do this."
Mi Fang said a lot at once, her words were sincere...
Looking back at Guan Yu, he smiled, stroking his long beard while smiling, "It's perfect to leave this matter to Zifang. No matter what, this batch of ordnance is crucial to the Northern Expedition. Brother Zifang... you must take it. If necessary,
The price can be far higher than that of Yunqi!"
At the end, Guan Yu actually held Mi Fang's hand...
"Zifang, if this is accomplished, after the Northern Expedition breaks through Jingxiang, I will personally write a letter to my elder brother. You, Mi Ziconvenient, are the first to succeed!"
undoubtedly…
Such a tug on the hands of Guan Yu and Mi Fang, and such an intriguing question.
The relationship between them has undergone earth-shaking changes subtly.
At least there will never be the original one in history... Guan Yu pointed at Mi Fang's head and cursed, "I will come back to punish you after I conquer Xiangfan!"
The same attack on Xiangfan...
One is the first achievement, the other is punishment. The two are completely different, and the endings are also worlds apart!
But Mi Fang was thinking about it at this moment.
The last time the gambling house suffered a loss of blood to Guan Lin, it was due to capsizing in the gutter, due to carelessness, negligence, and greed...
But this time, everyone came openly.
What's more, with Guan Yu's support and the strength of Jiangling City's treasury, could it be that...he can't beat you, Guan Yunqi?
This time, Mi Fang will inevitably think about this. Instead of fighting for words, she suffered such a big loss last time, so what... this time... she has to win back a victory, right?
…
This way…
Guan Yu and Mi Fang were determined to obtain this batch of ordnance.
Over there, Lu Xun, who was victorious at the bridge, gradually calmed down. He bit his lip and asked his wife Sun Ru in a heavy tone: "Madam, what price will Guan Lin give for this batch of ordnance?"
"This Fourth Young Master Guan always does things unconventionally..." Sun Ru analyzed calmly, "I don't know exactly how much he will offer, but it will definitely be something that those merchants can't refuse!"
this…
Lu Xun's eyes narrowed as he was thinking about Sun Ru's words.
Sun Ru's reminder continued, "What's more, my husband also said that these ordnance, since the merchants dare to make it public, must not be as simple as it seems. Soochow can't imitate it, and Jingzhou can't imitate it either. I can find that, then
Guan Yu also appeared at the 'Desheng Bridge', with such ordnance? Wouldn't he have a foot in it?"
"Whether this batch of ordnance belongs to Guan Lin in the end or is intercepted by Guan Yu in advance, its final price will definitely be very high!"
call…
After exhaling gently, Lu Xun gritted his teeth slightly, and after a full twenty breaths, he pondered.
"What if I, Lu Xun, can pay double the price?"
"Guan Lin and Guan Yu desperately want these weapons. Don't you know how urgent we, the Lu Jiajun and our Jiangdong disciples, feel?"
