Three Kingdoms: The Reverse Son of the Guan Family, Dragon Blessing Jingxiang

Chapter 320: Those who keep their word will make it to their due date, while those who are doubtful

Jiangxia, Anlu City, Zhuge Ke's residence.

As noon approaches, countless gourmet delicacies are placed on the table above the main hall.

The first course is boiled venison, using the fat from the belly of the deer, and then cooking it with bamboo shoots and cattails;

The second course is stewed dog meat. Boil the fat dog meat into soup, then top it with agarwood and you're done;

The third course is the spine meat. Just slice the tenderloin of the beast and grill it.

In addition to these, there are also a dazzling array of snacks such as grilled tenderloin, blanched carp fillets, and chicken with peony sauce.

Paired with a pot of fresh and elegant orchid wine that Zhuge Ke likes to drink the most, as well as the perilla and pickled vegetables, the appetizer made will inevitably make people's fingers twitch!

These are all banquets prepared by Zhuge Ke to welcome his close friend Zhuo Shu.

The agreement made a year ago, on the eighth day of December this year, is today... Even if Zhuge Ke is on the mountain of swords and sea of ​​fire, on the top of the sky, or thousands of miles away, Zhuo Shu will definitely come to the banquet. A Gentleman's Alliance for those who keep their promises!

However, as noon was approaching and the banquet was set, Zhuge Changshi's guest had not yet arrived. For a while, the civil servants who were also attending the banquet couldn't help but whisper.

You think, can we, Chang Shi, wait for this close friend?

No way. I heard that Zhuo Shu lives in Jiangdong, hundreds of miles away from here, and he has to pass through a war-torn place like Huainan? If I were him, I would never come...

Yeah, it's a pity that our chief has bothered so much...

Shhh, keep your voice down. At least it proves that we, Chang Shi, are people who value justice!

Although these whispers... were extremely low-pitched, Zhuge Ke had a good ear and heard some of them. However, he always acted calmly and calmly, sitting on the main seat and continuing to wait for his close friend.

Liao Hua also came to the banquet...

However, his mind was not on the banquet at all. He raised his head and looked at the sky. Liao Hua couldn't help but walked to Zhuge Ke, sat down, and said softly: To hold such a grand banquet, at this moment of turmoil, Are you still in this mood?

Liao Hua's implication is naturally Guan Yu.

Too…

Guan Yu was hit by a poisonous arrow and was looking for someone who could scratches the bones to cure the poison, but here Zhuge Ke was still banqueting guests, and even waiting for a close friend who seemed to never come. This matter... Liao Hua seemed to be a little weird.

Who would have thought that Zhuge Ke waved his hand and showed a different kind of free and easy, This is what I promised my best friend. Even the dishes in this banquet were all ordered by him a year ago. Guan Gong Mr. Yunqi is responsible for taking care of the matter. Mr. Yunqi didn’t let us go to Jiangling, so our mission is to defend Jiangxia and do our duty... You and I shouldn’t worry about the rest!

My duty...hehe...

Liao Hua laughed lightly. He really wanted to be as free and easy as Zhuge Ke, but he couldn't do it. He was Guan Yu's boss before. This relationship was similar to that between Master Yunqi and Zhuge Yuanxun.

If you say you're not worried, you'd be lying!

But looking at Zhuge Ke's calm expression.

Liao Hua could only say Alas, let out a long sigh, and followed Zhuge Ke's words: As you said, I heard that Mr. Yunqi sent a batch of ordnance to us... that's what happened. Son?

Even Liao Hua, who was in charge of the army, had only heard about this...

Moreover, in the military camp, this news was spread so magically and so convincingly that Liao Hua didn't even know whether it was true or false, so he took the opportunity of this banquet to ask Zhuge Ke for confirmation.

Shh... Who would have thought that Zhuge Ke quickly raised his index finger and lowered his voice, Master Yunqi specifically told me that this matter must not be made public!

As soon as these words came out, Liao Hua quickly shut up. He was surprised and happy to realize that this batch of ordnance sent by Master Yunqi might be of great value, or it might cause Cao Jun to suffer heavy losses.

With this in mind, Liao Hua quickly changed the subject: The time for lunch is coming soon, but your friend... It would be a pity for such a good banquet to be cold. How about we eat first?

No! Zhuge Ke said resolutely, It's not yet noon and the guests haven't come. How can the host use the chopsticks first?

this…

Suddenly, Liao Hua couldn't understand Zhuge Ke more and more. He couldn't help pouring cold water on him again, Kuiji and Jiangxia are thousands of miles apart? How could anyone come on time?

Liao Hua just blurted out his words.

Suddenly I heard - Give me a papaya and repay you with jade. If a bandit repays you, you will always think it is good! Give me a peach and repay you with jade. If you repay a bandit, you will always think it is good!

Accompanied by the clear and loud sound of poetry chanting.

A graceful young master stepped in from the main entrance of Zhuge Ke's mansion.

Because Zhuge Ke had made an explanation in advance, so... the door is open.

Under the sun, I could only hear this handsome young man shouting:

Haha... Zhuge Yuanxun, I smelled the aroma of the wine and meat in your banquet as early as when we were in the street. Let me guess, boiled venison, stewed dog meat, animal backbone, roasted tenderloin, and blanched carp fillets. , chicken mixed with peony sauce... and you, my best orchid wine and perilla pickled vegetables, haha... Before I even entered the door, my index finger was already moving, looking for the fragrance——

As soon as these words came out, Liao Hua raised his head, all the guests raised their heads, and Zhuge Ke stood up suddenly, I knew that even if it is thousands of miles away, Brother Zhuo Shu will definitely come thousands of miles away!

The person who came was none other than Zhuo Shu.

——Zhuo Shu, who traveled thousands of miles to meet his deadline.

For a moment, the whole house was silent!

Even Liao Hua was shocked. Is such a trustworthy person really... able to come from a thousand miles away just to keep an appointment?

Isn't this incredible?

In fact... the even more incredible thing is yet to come.

Not only did Zhuo Shu come alone, he also brought with him a miracle doctor who could scrat bones and cure poison, a general with the most state-of-the-art style in Soochow!

This is another situation - come one, get two free!

On this side, Zhuo Shu traveled thousands of miles to meet his dear friend Zhuge Ke, and this act of keeping a promise is destined to be a good story that will be passed down for thousands of years.

Over there, when Zhuo Rong tore off the notice about bone scraping to cure poison\

,"A group of officers and soldiers quickly surrounded her. To protect Zhuo Rong, Ling Tong stepped forward, blocked her behind him, and used his body full of sores to protect Zhuo Rong!

Zhuo Rong suddenly felt an inexplicable and strange feeling...

It was as if the man protecting him in front of him was not hanging on by a thread, but every part of his body was powerful and full of masculinity.

At this time, Mi Lu, the leader here, quickly stepped forward. He looked at Zhuo Rong with surprise, and looked at the letter she tore off with surprise, the notice in her hand...

asked quickly. A girl can really scrape bones and cure poison?

When he said these words, Milu was inevitably a little worried and disappointed... The woman in front of him was too young. At such an age, it seemed difficult to explain her and the magical Xinglin technique of bone scraping to cure poison. connect together.

Zhuorong didn't answer, just nodded.

At this moment, Mi Lu's tone suddenly became extremely respectful, Girl is young, I wonder...who does she study under?

As soon as these words came out, Zhuo Rong showed her proud side: Since I dare to accept the notice, I am not fooling you. I said that I can scrape bones to cure poison, and I can scrape bones to cure poison. If you don't believe it, then this notice is still You, I haven’t shaved yet…”

this…

Following Zhuo Rong's words, Mi Lu immediately did not dare to ask further questions and quickly extended his hand to signal.

Girl, this way please...

Yes, how can he make the final decision on such a big matter?

Mr. Yunqi is not here, so... we must ask Zhuge Changshi and Liao Hua, who are here.

A group of officers and soldiers carefully escorted Zhuo Rong and Ling Tong to Zhuge Ke's Chang Shi's residence.

The crowd also started talking...

This woman is so young? Can this be done?

What if she can scrape bones to cure poison? I'll cut off an arm myself...

There are many bluffers in the world, but...women at such a young age are rare...

It seems that many people do not believe that Zhuo Rong can scrape bones to cure poison and save Guan Yu.

However, among the people discussing, a graceful and elegant middle-aged man's expression changed drastically. He couldn't help but exclaimed:

Ling...Ling Gongji?

When he blurted out these words, he quickly covered his mouth, looked around to make sure no one was paying attention, and then carefully squeezed out of the crowd.

After catching up with the group of officers and soldiers, he took another careful look, looking very secretly... to ensure that he would not be discovered.

What he paid special attention to was Ling Tong...

Still sure...he doesn't know that woman, but that man...is...Ling Tong Ling Gongji!

Ling...General Ling...didn't he disappear during the battle at Feishui Caoying, when he was fighting the enemy general Zhang Liao in the fire? Why...why is he here?

The elegant middle-aged man who whispered these words was Zhuge Jin.

After Luo Tong returned, Zhuge Jin had completed his mission. He was recalled to Jiangdong by Sun Quan to support Hefei City.

I happened to be passing through Jiangxia...

I was thinking that my nephew Zhuge Ke would have a long history here. I hadn't seen him for a long time and missed him very much, so I quietly took a detour to Anlu City in Jiangxia County.

But I never thought that before I met my nephew Zhuge Ke, I met Ling Tong first!

Zhuge Jin watched Zhuo Rong and Ling Tong walk into the residence of his nephew Zhuge Ke, which made him stop for a moment as he planned to visit his nephew.

how so?

Zhuge Jin murmured to himself.

——Yuan Xun came to Jingzhou because of adoption, Boyan came to Jingzhou because he was forced to do so, and Zijing came to Jingzhou for treatment of injuries and illnesses, but now...has even Gong Ji come to Jingzhou? 』

——He...why did he come? Will he go back? 』

For a moment, Zhuge Jin was at a loss, as if he had received a huge blow.

He knows very well what the Lord thinks of his public performance...

Since the Lord succeeded to the throne, he has been very kind to the young Ling Tong... Then he... why is he here?

The voice was extremely soft and thin, so thin that only Zhuge Jin could hear it clearly.

What he knows better is...

In the Battle of Shouchun, Gan Ning and Ling Tong used burning pots to burn Cao Jun's Feishui Camp, severely damaging Cao Jun, reversing the decline of the Huainan battlefield, and allowing Wu Hou to finally stand up.

But after this battle, Cao Jun lost Zhang Wenyuan, and Soochow Army lost Ling Gongji!

This is an unacceptable loss for both parties.

What is even more unacceptable to Zhuge Jin and even Soochow is that Ling Tong is not a loss, but...but appears in Jingzhou. This...this is a blow to Soochow!

call…

call…

The sound of heavy breathing could not help but come from Zhuge Jin's heart. His face was extremely ugly, and he frowned heavily.

At this moment, he wanted to rush in and ask his former son, what was the reason for all this? Why is Ling Tong here?

Why did Ling Tong and a woman scrape Guan Yu's bones together to cure his poison?

But he knew he shouldn't rush in...

He and his former son have become their own masters and have drifted apart. He should not use this relationship to obtain any information. This is not like a messenger, let alone a father!

Can…

no…

Finally, Zhuge Jin still couldn't pass the test in his heart. He gritted his teeth. After hesitating for a moment, he quickly turned around and headed towards the dock outside the city.

Ling Tong is not dead;

Ling Tong was in Jiangxia;

Ling Tong wants to scrape Guan Yu's bones to cure the poison...

This matter was so big that he had to rush to Hefei as soon as possible to report the news to Wu Hou and let him... let him be prepared!

Hey...hey...

Zhuge Jin sighed heavily as he walked away. His mood seemed to change from the high expectations when he saw his former son to a dark cloud in an instant...

But at this moment, the noon sun was fierce, stretching his shadow into a long and narrow shape——

At noon, it was the time for Zhuge Ke to happily prepare a banquet!

In Shouchun City, outside the government office, there is a wooden stake with three feet of white cloth hanging on it, and the three words loyalty, righteousness and filial piety written in big letters.

Sima Yi, who was released from Jiangling City, was being escorted by Cao Jun soldiers.

Cao Cao was not here, and Cao Zhen, as his adopted son, became the only representative of the Cao clan in Shouchun City.

It is no exaggeration to say that this young General Cao is now in control of the life and death of everyone here, especially the sinners.

Sima Zhongda...

When Sima Yi was led to the stake, Cao Zhen glared at Sima Yi angrily. He pointed at Sima Yi's nose and cursed: Sima Zhongda, if it weren't for you, why would Lu Xun suddenly arrive at the Jiangxia battlefield and leave our army defenseless? , was suddenly attacked by him? Why did Jiangxia suffer such a disastrous defeat? Why did we, the Wei Dynasty, lose one hundred thousand soldiers overnight? Sima Zhongda, your sins are heinous and cannot be forgiven. I ask you, do you know your sins?

It's ridiculous...it's ridiculous... Sima Yi laughed and said: I am just an official of the Prime Minister, and I was ordered by the Prime Minister to persuade Lu Xun to surrender. How could I know that Lu Xun was deceiving me? When General Cao accused me like this, he was questioning my surrender. Or do you question the prime minister's decision? What's more, the reason why a hundred thousand troops died overnight was because of the sudden attack, the instant ignited fire that could not be extinguished, and the sudden betrayal of the Nanyang soldiers. What does this have to do with me, Sima Yi?

What's the matter?

Cao Zhen pointed to the wooden stake behind him, You can see the words on it, loyalty, righteousness, filial piety... You helped Lu Xun attack General Yu Jin from thousands of miles away, which caused the defeat of Jiangxia battlefield and profoundly affected the Xiangfan battlefield and Huainan battlefield. This is unacceptable. Zhong, you destroyed a hundred thousand soldiers of the Wei Dynasty, and Tao Tao's dead souls had nowhere to live. They were all given by you, Sima Yi. This is considered unrighteous. You ignored your family and children, betrayed Cao Wei, and surrendered to Jingzhou. This is considered unfilial. Such an unfaithful, unfilial and unjust person should be looked down upon and set as a warning to others!

Faced with Cao Zhen’s unwarranted accusations...

Haha... Sima Yi smiled lightly and said: General Cao, you and I have always had different political opinions. You hate me to the core. If I are true to what you said, there is no need for disloyalty, unfilial piety, and unrighteousness... just one of these, you may have already killed me. My head was chopped off and placed on this wooden stake, right?

Facing Cao Zhen's aggressiveness, Sima Yi met his gaze calmly, without any fear, If you haven't taken action now, I'm afraid you don't have the right to deal with me, right? Prime Minister Cao can judge the right and wrong? In that case...Cao Why does the general need to retrial? I, Sima Yi, believe in the Prime Minister's justice! I also believe that General Cao will not disobey the Prime Minister's justice.

snort…

Facing Sima Yi's sophistry, Cao Zhen snorted coldly, as if Sima Yi's words completely revealed what he was thinking.

indeed…

Cao Cao specially sent a fast horse to tell Cao Zhen that Sima Yi should not be killed or tortured yet. Cao Cao would personally judge him.

Immediately, Cao Zhen sighed with great regret. He looked at Sima Yi contemptuously, as if he were looking at the fish on the chopping board: Do you think you can escape? You were just let back by Guan Lin in such a big way? Do you think the Prime Minister will meet you? Let you go!

Whether the Prime Minister lets me go or not is the Prime Minister's business, so I don't need General Cao to worry about it...

Sima Yi met Cao Zhen's gaze...

In fact, he was also nervous, fearful, and hesitant in his heart, but at this point, he had no way out.

Because of that poison, he would die anyway. He could only save his life by finding a way to mediate it!

Put it down——

Cao Zhen lost his last patience. Indeed, he, Cao Zhen, could not deal with Sima Yi.

Not to mention that Sima Yi was a military commander personally appointed by Cao Cao. His family background of the Sima clan in Hanoi alone made it impossible for Cao Zhen to cut off this man's head with his sword.

Speaking of which, Cao Zhen and Sima Yi belong to the same camp. They are both from Cao Pi's faction...

But Cao Zhen just looked down on Sima Yi, and he also looked down on Chen Qun, Liu Zhen, and Wu Zhi.

Always be on guard against them.

Perhaps...this is the corner that can never be crossed between the clan and the clan's children. It is also destined that the clan and the clan will fight to the death!

Where is my wife? I want to see him...

Some soldiers came to take Sima Yi into the cell. Sima Yi asked Cao Zhen loudly.

Hmph. Cao Zhen snorted coldly, You'd better take care of yourself first!

As he spoke, Sima Yi was taken away. He did not resist or say a single harsh word, but his firm eyes were full of confidence, as if he was sure that this time he could survive the whole body. retreat!

This kind of look made Cao Zhen more and more disgusted the more he looked at it.

With a bang, as Sima Yi was pushed down, Cao Zhen punched the table hard, and the tea in the tea cup splashed out on the entire table.

At this moment, a guard quickly broke in and said quickly: General Cao... Outside the city gate, General Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan are back!

ah…

As soon as these words came out, Cao Zhen, who was still angry because of Sima Yi, suddenly became enlightened.

He asked in surprise: General Wen... General Wenyuan is back?

When he said this sentence, his eyes were full of surprise, as if Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan's status in Cao Wei, even a leader among the descendants of the clan like him, Cao Zhen, must be looked up to...

Yes! General Wenyuan just entered the city...

Quick, lead the way from the front, I'm going to meet the General of the Eastern Wei Dynasty! Cao Zhen blurted out these words, and the bodyguard quickly turned around and planned to lead the way, but as soon as Cao Zhen took a step, he figured something was wrong.

etc…

He quickly shouted to stop, and then asked: Why did General Wenyuan come back now? What happened after the Feishui camp was burned that day? Why did he disappear? And why did it take so long to come back? Has he explained this clearly?

Just now he was still General Wenyuan and General Zhengdong...

Suddenly, because of a vague suspicion, Cao Zhen changed his name to him!

wrong…

Cao Zhen chirped again, his eyes narrowed heavily, and he repeated again, No, there's something wrong, there's something wrong, there's something weird!

Thinking of this, Cao Zhen seemed to have made up his mind. With a wave of his hand, he quickly ordered the guards beside him: Check, you go check, check backwards. How did he come back? Who did he meet in the meantime? What did he come into contact with? People? Before the Prime Minister returns, I want you to find out everything——
