The wind seemed to have suddenly become much warmer.

At this moment, more people had gathered in front of the gambling house.

Different from the gentle breeze, these people were staring at Guan Lin in stunned silence, looking at this... the young master of the Guan family who openly rejected the good intentions of Mi Fang, the prefect of Jiangling.

After Guan Lin said why, many people thought that Mi Fang was treating her kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs.

Let him lose...

Let Guan Gong come back and teach this ignorant young man a lesson!

Some self-proclaimed righteous people began to criticize Guan Lin verbally and in writing.

only…

However, Mi Fang still had a smile on her face and was not depressed at all. She was like a licking dog who made a prompt decision without even blinking.

Everyone, everyone... we have to be more patient with the juniors!

In this way, Fourth Young Master, for the sake of my relationship with your father, not only will I return all the nine thousand hu of grain you bet to you, but I will also make the decision, how about doubling the amount? Of course, this amount of grain, After all, I, the Mi family, can't take it out right away, but Fourth Young Master, don't worry, as long as you nod your head, within three days, within three days... I will deliver all the food to the thief Cao Yu's house.

Two...twice?

That’s nineteen thousand hu of grain?

Mi Guang's legs beside him were already weak, and he suddenly felt as if his heart had been hit hard by something.

If just now...the two patriarchs returned the original amount, it could still be attributed to Guan Gong's favor, but now...it has been doubled, which is another story!

problem occurs…

Subconsciously, Mi Guang realized that something was wrong.

Perhaps...the Hefei battlefield...did not develop as expected!

He had already thought about this, but he didn't dare to think any more. He covered his chest with his hands. He couldn't think about it anymore!

This is already—terrifying if you think about it!

Not only Mi Guang, but also the people around him were mostly shocked, but there were also a few who heard the deep meaning of Mi Fang's words.

No way?

No way?

Could it be that... Hefei battlefield...

Some people thought about this news and subconsciously covered their chests. Once something happened on the Hefei battlefield, the bets they placed would be... In addition, this Young Master Guan Lin... he...

Don't wait for everyone to figure this out.

Guan Lin waved his hand simply, still only saying three words - Impossible!

Just kidding, one to eleven, is this a matter of 19,000 dendrobium grains? Damn, this is a matter of one hundred thousand grains!

These grains fell from the sky, and even the Mi family and the gambling house were crushed!

You really took 10,000 yuan, are you using it to beg for food?

On the other hand, Mi Fang tried his best to be as calm as possible. He didn't want more people to see it...

But the wrinkles all over his forehead had completely given him away.

He couldn't care about so much anymore, So... how about fifty thousand dendrobium? This is the most sincerity that the Mi family can offer. As someone who has been through it, I also advise the Fourth Young Master not to do anything wrong. Your father and I are both under the leadership of Uncle Liu Huang. The ministers who have made great contributions to the expansion of the territory, thinking of this, should also leave this kind of affection to each other?

This is the last chance, Mi Fang knows it all too well. The Mi family has been doing business since Xuzhou, and once became the largest merchant family in Donghai County, Xuzhou.

He knows too well the importance of a family's reputation and credibility.

Without this, the Mi family's business in Jingzhou would immediately plummet.

Obviously, it was impossible for Mi Fang to come up with the compensation of 100,000 hu of grain, not even by selling off all her family property.

Of course, if the other party is an ordinary person or an ordinary family, Mi Fang can also take some extraordinary measures, but... the person who placed the big bet is Guan Yu's son!

Many of these important bets come from the Guan family...

this…

That’s it…

At this moment, Mi Fang was about to cry without tears.

Fifty thousand bushels of grain, this is the limit of what he can offer, and it is also his last struggle!

When Mi Fang blurted out these words.

Next to him, Mi Guang's heart thumped. He was already sure that it was over... there must have been an accident on the Hefei battlefield. This time, the whole Mi family might have to pay for the bet.

More people also reacted and started talking about it.

Could it be that... Cao's army defended Hefei City?

Isn't that right? I heard that Cao Jun didn't have any reinforcements? Besides, Soochow has brought 100,000 people, a total of 100,000 people...

Look at Grandmaster Mi's face turning green! How could Soochow not lose? Why is he like this?

You mean...this Fourth Young Master Guan...

These discussions are becoming more frequent and louder.

However, these voices seemed to turn a deaf ear to Guan Lin.

He still had no intention of bargaining with Mi Fang, The gambling shop has opened, and the price is clearly marked. It is whatever it is, and I don't have time to bargain with you!

Mi Fang shook her head helplessly. He obviously saw that Guan Lin was determined to get the one hundred thousand dendrobium grain compensation.

Even if Mi Fang wants to force him to accept the conditions proposed, this is obviously unrealistic. If Guan Lin doesn't agree to this matter, no one can do anything about it.

The identity of the son of Guan Gong almost killed Mi Fang!

He could only continue to persuade with earnest words: It seems that Mr. Guan Lin has received the news about the war in Hefei, but... I, Mi Fang, also traveled all over the country and fought many battles with Uncle Liu Huang, and I know the situation on the battlefield better than you. .

As the saying goes, troops are impermanent and water is impermanent. Even if Zhang Liao severely damaged Soochow's soldiers and horses in his first battle, Hefei City is still isolated and helpless. After Soochow has rested and reorganized, it still has an absolute advantage in terms of military strength!

Now... I can bring out 50,000 hu of grain, which is considered to be full of sincerity. If I were you, I would accept it as soon as it is good. If you are soft, you will not be strong, and if you are sharp, you will not be frustrated. In the end... greed is not enough, except for the snake swallowing the elephant. These 50,000 hu of grain have been wasted, and you won’t be able to get back the money. How will you explain it to your father at that time? Fourth Young Master must think about it carefully!

——He's anxious, he's anxious, he's anxious! 』

Guan Lin was thinking...

However, the more anxious Mi Fang became, the more relaxed Guan Lin became.

He shook his head with a smile. Mi Fang's words did not move him at all. He waved his hand and said: Prefect Mi, we are all foxes for thousands of years, so stop pretending...

Although the Battle of Hefei is just the first battle, you and I know very well which way the situation will develop. Uh... in other words... Guan Lin tapped his forehead lightly and continued meaningfully: Prefect Mi After being beaten for so many years and following my uncle all over the world, you can't be so naive, right? If a man doesn't harden in front of a hundred thousand people? Then can he still harden in this life?

Speaking of which…

Guan Lin spread his hands with a smile, but he did not hesitate, bowed and saluted, and said with a smile: One hundred thousand dendrobium grains cannot be collected in three or two days. It's okay, Prefect Mi will collect it slowly... The Mi family has a great cause... Besides, the battlefield in Hefei will not end in one or two days. When Soochow retreats in despair, it will not be too late for Governor Mi to give me food. Of course, if it is really difficult, the big deal... For the sake of our friendship, I will grant Prefect Mi a few days of grace!

Speaking of this, Guan Lin showed that harmless smile.

This smile made Mi Fang burst into tears.

Not just tears, his heart was bleeding, no, it was continuing to bleed...

Where can he get one hundred thousand bushels of grain from?

This will cost him his life!

Well…

At this moment, Mi Fang fell into sluggishness again.

Speaking of which, today's river breeze was surprisingly gentle, but Mi Fang seemed to be dried by the roar of the strong wind. He was like a dried salted fish... standing on the spot, his eyes dull.

——Sun Quan's blue eyes! 』

——Sun Quan Biyan'er, I hate you, I hate you, I hate you...

At this moment, the pain and blood in Mi Fang's heart turned into infinite hatred for Sun Quan, the leader of Soochow!

Damn it, you have 100,000 people and can't even take down an isolated city. What the hell can you do?

You, the one who suffered a thousand cuts, harmed me... the family that harmed me will be infamous!

At this moment, Mi Fang had the intention to kill Sun Quan!

Guan Lin smiled and glanced at the petrified Mi Fang, Prefect Mi, if there is nothing else, my nephew will leave first! Speaking of which, Uncle Mi will not default on his nephew, right? ?”

Hey... I have such a mouth. With the relationship between Uncle Mi and my father, how could Uncle Mi refuse to pay to my nephew? My nephew is wrong. My nephew should never judge a gentleman with a villain's heart!

Nephew?

Uncle Mi?

How shameless it is to call someone uncle affectionately at this time!

Guan Lin continued to laugh and said: Uncle Mi doesn't say anything, then... my nephew is gone!

As he spoke, Guan Lin turned around coolly and strode home as if he didn't recognize his relatives.

As he walked, he was still humming softly.

——The sky is clear and the sea is vast, and the sun is high in the sky. This situation is just right for me, Guan Lin, to write a poem...

——...Others laugh at me for being too crazy. I laugh at others because they can't see through it. I don't see the tombs of the heroes of the Five Tombs, and I cultivate the fields without flowers or wine!

Finally, Mi Fang could no longer hold back the pain in her heart.

Accompanied by Guan Lin’s poetry…

Mi Fang's hot tears had burst out, rolling down the corners of her eyes, and dripping onto the dry ground.

Mi Fang opened her mouth, wanting to say something. In the end, all the words she wanted to say were condensed into her fists, and she punched the ground one by one.

Finally, Mi Fang couldn't hold back the pain in her heart, and she shouted angrily while filming.

——Sun Quan Biyan'er, I will fight against you...I will fight against your eight generations of ancestors!

Mi Guang's lips trembled at the side. He tremblingly helped up the second patriarch of the Mi family and reminded: Second patriarch, this matter cannot be dealt with with a slap!

Then...that Zhang Liao sent by Cao Cao to garrison Hefei is also...also hateful!

yes…

After Mi Guang's reminder, Mi Fang seemed to suddenly understand.

Sun Quan cannot be the only person on his time!

Zhang Liao...even Cao Cao, who is behind Zhang Liao, Mi Fang also wants to...kill their ancestors!

The wooden floor made a dong-dong sound from being stepped on.

Guan Yu returned to the mansion, pacing in the study with his hands behind his back.

After being reminded by his son Guan Xing, he knew that Guan Lin must have pawned all the valuable items in his home.

For this, he has made certain mental preparations.

But in fact, when he got home, he realized that he had underestimated Guan Lin.

This is not like pawning all the valuable items in the house. It is no exaggeration to say that all the items that can be moved away are not left behind.

This made the Guan family's mansion, which was not originally luxurious, become even more simple.

Looking up and looking around, Guan Yu hesitated for a while, sighed again, stamped his feet and turned around.

Zhou Cang had already arrived, and he seemed surprised by the empty scene in Guan Mansion. However, he still reported to Guan Yu: Advisor Ma Liang asked to see Guan Gong.

White-browed Ma Liang? Guan Yu repeated, and then ordered: Please quickly...

He originally wanted to go to the main hall to meet the guests, but when he realized that there was no table or a single copy in the main hall at this time, he sighed: Let's just go to the study and find a table! There really isn't any. , just move a stone!

Well…

From Guan Yu's words, Zhou Cang felt a bit of down and out.

Zhou Cang was startled, but he agreed and went to make arrangements.

Not long after, a stone was carried by two guards and used as a table. Guan Yu and Ma Liang sat on both sides.

Because the stones were uneven and the tea cup was pawned, the tea was omitted, leaving only the point to the point.

I heard a few days ago that the Fourth Young Master sold off all the belongings in the mansion. I never thought that the mansion would be in such a shabby state now!

After hearing Ma Liang's words, Guan Yu waved his hand, Neither you nor I are extravagant or fastidious people, so I won't talk about this.

Guan Yu changed the topic, Ji Chang should have received the battle report from Hefei, right?

Yes. Ma Liang nodded heavily, Zhang Liao's hundreds of men severely damaged Sun Quan's 100,000-strong army. This move...even if the battle report is right in front of me, I find it incredible!

Guan Yu also nodded.

Ma Liang immediately added: However, Mr. Yunqi had expected it in advance, exactly...and that Hong Qigong, it seems...it is very likely that Hong Qigong also expected the success or failure of this battle in advance, so he secretly He quietly helped us!

Ji Chang and I thought of the same thing. Guan Yu spoke softly, but his tone was firm, That 'Hong Qigong' is most likely a friend rather than an enemy, but we mistakenly blamed him!

Ma Liang raised his brows and said with emotion: What a strange man, I never thought that... besides Mr. Yunqi, there are people with such sharp eyes. What a strange man, it seems that our Jiangling City is a crouching tiger, hidden dragon! Hidden in the city!

Ha ha…

Guan Yu stroked his beard. It was obvious that because of the Hefei bet, because of Hong Qigong, and because of Guan Lin, he was in a very good mood.

It sounds strange.

——Borrow Jingzhou!

This was originally a huge problem and huge hidden danger that made the entire Liu Bei force feel like it was stuck in its throat, on pins and needles, and like a thorn in its back. Suddenly... it was solved so easily.

Although, this does not guarantee that Soochow will no longer have thoughts about Jingzhou.

But at least, morally speaking, Soochow has fallen behind.

The Art of War emphasizes Tao, Heaven, Earth, Generals, and Laws. The Tao part of it may seem illusory, but in fact, it is a prerequisite for many wars.

Undoubtedly, Guan Yu already had the upper hand.

Ji Chang look at this.

Guan Yu's hearty laughter fell and he pointed to a prepared notice on the stone steps.

This is? Ma Liang slowly unfolded with doubts.

It didn't matter if it didn't unfold. Once it unfolded, he was shocked...

This notice is actually...

It was actually a letter of guilt written by Guan Gong himself!

Guan Gong...

He would actually admit defeat in that father and son fight?

this!

this!

For a moment, Ma Liang hesitated. He opened his eyes wide, and there was a lot of disbelief in his eyes. He couldn't believe that Guan Guild would take the initiative to admit defeat!
