Chapter 222 Guan Lin: I'll drink this cup, you can do whatever you want
The carriage has long been waiting outside the gate of the government office.
Guan Ping and Guan Suo were walking in such a hurry that they didn't have time to hold the horses and got directly into the carriage.
Guan Lin, who had been guarding here for a long time, swallowed the noodle cake in his mouth, joined it, and asked knowingly: "Brother, second brother, what's the matter? Are you in such a hurry?"
Guan Xing replied impatiently: "Fourth brother, please stop causing trouble. There is trouble in Jiangling City."
Guan Ping's eyes were fixed. Seeing Guan Lin inevitably reminded him of Guan Lin's extremely imaginative "cage" method of breaking out of wolves when he was testing martial arts with wolves.
Precisely because of this, Guan Ping felt that this younger brother was a bit interesting, at least a little smart and exciting.
Not guaranteed...
"Since the fourth brother is here, come up and tell us!"
Guan Ping greeted.
Guan Xing looked at Guan Ping in disbelief, as if to say, with such a big and urgent matter, will anything else happen if you take your fourth brother with you?
Guan Ping said with a smile: "Fourth brother is smart and can help us if we don't protect him!"
As he spoke, he opened the door and let Guan Lin get into the carriage.
Guan Lin didn't know that Zhuge Jin had already started performing in public. He only thought that the two brothers were going to investigate the matter of "Hong Qigong".
How could he be left out of this matter?
When Guan Ping explained what happened now.
Although he was prepared, Guan Lin was still surprised.
He raised his voice deliberately.
——"What? Then Zhuge Jin has started to deceive people?"
——"Wait a minute...what do you mean, two brothers? The notices plastered all over the city, tell me, are they all fake? They were posted by 'Hong Qigong'? Even the seals and ribbons are 'Hong Qigong'
'Forged?'
——"Wait? Big brother, second brother...who is Hong Qigong?"
On the self-cultivation of actors.
Guan Lin acted so realistically, as if this matter, just like "Hong Qigong", as if everything had nothing to do with him.
Of course, he was still surprised that those beggars were not beaten into submission.
Sure enough, in this world, honest and kind people cannot survive and can only be forced to become beggars!
But in the end, "honest people" couldn't play with these scheming people, and "Hong Qigong" was tricked out after a few clicks.
only…
——But it’s of no use!
Guan Lin was still secretly happy.
"Fourth brother, please lower your voice? Why are you so excited?"
Guan Xing watched Guan Lin dancing and couldn't help scolding him.
Guan Lin then scratched his head, licked his lips, and sighed.
"This Hong Qigong is really... really bad! Just as bad as Zhuge Jin, the envoy from Jiangdong! There is simply not a word of truth in his mouth!"
this…
Guan Ping looked at Guan Lin in surprise.
He found that today, this fourth brother, who had always never cared about anything, was inexplicably excited.
Could this be—the same hatred of the enemy?
The whole Guan family has the same hatred towards this "Hong Qigong"!
While talking...
The three-person carriage has arrived at the busiest street in Jiangling City.
And this is the place specially chosen by Zhuge Jin.
At this sensitive time, the appearance of the Jiangdong envoy immediately caused a commotion. Many people surrounded Zhuge Jin and kept asking about the "Hefei Bet".
All of a sudden, the place was filled with cars and BMWs and thousands of people.
"How did Zhuge Shijun negotiate with Guan Gong? Why did Guan Gong suddenly agree to the Hefei bet?"
"Zhuge Shijun, is this Hefei Bet in the same vein as the previous 'Xiangshui Demarcation'?"
"Zhuge Envoy, when does Jiangdong plan to take Hefei? I heard that Hefei is isolated and helpless, while Jiangdong has assembled an army of 100,000... Based on this calculation, is this bet a bit unfair?"
Zhuge Jin was only in his early forties, and he was dressed particularly young today, with fluttering clothes, elegant clothes, handsome appearance, and a friendly smile on his face.
He answered the literati's inquiries one by one in a calm and unhurried manner.
From time to time, I sighed with emotion, "In the past, Emperor Liu's uncle had no fixed abode. Lu Su, the commander-in-chief, proposed to the Marquis of Wu to temporarily lend Jingzhou to the emperor's uncle. This was my kind intention in Soochow. It is only natural that the loan should be returned."
"But in recent years, due to the incident of borrowing Jingzhou, gaps have repeatedly arisen in the Sun-Liu alliance. This is painful for relatives and happy for enemies!"
"The common wish of Uncle Liu and the Marquis of Wu is that 'the Han and the traitors will not stand apart, and the royal family will not be in peace.' Therefore, Guan Gong puts the overall situation first, and the alliance between Sun and Liu made this 'Hefei Bet' for a period of one year. Whether Wu can capture Hefei with his ability, Hefei will definitely be there, and the matter of 'borrowing Jingzhou' will be settled!"
"Whether Jingzhou is returned to the Marquis of Wu or to Uncle Liu, from now on, the alliance of Sun and Liu will work together to fight against Cao's thieves. Isn't it beautiful? Isn't it true that 'the Han and the thieves are not at odds with each other, and the king's industry is not at peace'?"
Zhuge Jin's impassioned words drew praise from the people around him.
With the same words, Zhuge Jin directly opened up the situation.
——The Han thieves are not at odds with each other, and the king’s industry is not on one side!
What is Jingzhou or not? For the Sun-Liu Alliance, as long as they work together to fight Cao Cao, it doesn't matter who Jingzhou belongs to!
But when Guan Xing in the carriage heard this, he clenched one fist and drew the sword with the other hand, saying fiercely:
"That's nonsense..."
"Second brother!" Guan Ping stopped Guan Xing who was about to draw his sword, "What did Military Advisor Baimei give you? Have you forgotten?"
"But he..." Guan Xing pointed at Zhuge Jin who was still "convincing the public with his evil words", and the anger in his chest kept rising. "Brother, are we just going to let this Jiangdong envoy talk nonsense here? Demagogue people?" "
this…
Guan Ping was silent. He knew that Guan Xing was right and he could not let Zhuge Jin continue talking.
But what can he do?
Guan Gong's seal and ribbon are in front of the official notice;
Zhuge Jin’s impassioned speech followed;
If you really want to use force in public, I'm afraid it will lead to more serious consequences.
Because of the lack of protection, the envoy from Jiangdong falsely accused his father of "double-dealing" and "two-faced". At that time... under the public opinion, he was afraid that his father's reputation would be destroyed in one day.
There will also be huge cracks in the relationship between Sun and Liu!
Guan Ping suddenly turned around and looked at Guan Lin.
He was in urgent need of medical treatment. At this time, he could only place all his hopes on this "alert and intelligent" younger brother.
See if he can use some clever tricks to reverse the situation.
"Fourth brother? Do you have any ideas? Let the people not believe in this Zhuge Jin!"
Solution?
this…
Unlike Guan Ping and Guan Suo who were nervous and angry, Guan Lin was sticking his head out and looking out.
He looked like he was just watching the fun and didn't mind the big deal.
Hearing his eldest brother's question, he retracted his head and then "squeaked" his mouth.
In the eager eyes of Guan Ping and Guan Xing, Guan Lin opened his mouth and said:
"What can I do?"
"Besides, the Jiangdong envoy said this is quite good...the situation has been completely opened up!"
"Listen, I just said that if Soochow fails to capture Hefei, they are determined not to bother with the issue of 'borrowing Jingzhou'. In this case, as long as Cao Jun wins the battle at Hefei, then Jingzhou will justifiably belong to our uncle.
Has it returned to our father’s hands?”
"No, the Soochow envoy said it's very good! What else can you do?"
this…
Guan Lin's words immediately confused Guan Ping and Guan Xing.
As Guan Yu's son, Guan Lin's words are nothing short of amazing - he will never stop fighting!
