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

Jiangxia, Anlu County, Sifang Mountain.

This is the place where "white phosphorus", a powerful weapon for fire attacks, is produced. The refinery run by Jiang Gan is as busy as ever.

Countless flints were mined from the mountains, then transported to the refinery, and filled into eggs together with fish oil. The small openings of the egg shells were finally sealed with soil.

After doing this, the eggs were filled into the glass jars, which became the big killer of this era - incendiary bombs!

And this "incendiary bomb" is just one of the many refinements in the refinery.

Not far away, tracts of cave dwellings have been excavated, and greenhouses have been erected. Carloads of another kind of stone powder have been transported here, which is silica powder.

Using this as the main material, add soda ash (sodium carbonate), and then add metal oxides such as "copper red" or "antimony yellow", and through melting, shaping, cooling... it will eventually become the so-called "glass". Of course...this era should be called "Liu Li"!

It looks crystal clear...but it is actually the necessary material for the sky to set fire to fire.

It is no exaggeration to say that because of the glass refining process of the refining workshop and the "white phosphorus" refining process, this mountain alone destroyed more than 100,000 troops of the Wei Dynasty. It is no exaggeration!

Because I heard something happened here.

During the two-day trip, Guan Lin took Lu Xun to secretly take a boat here.

At this moment, he and Lu Xun were riding in a hot air balloon, and Liao Hua, the guard of Anlu City, was also there... They were lying on the side of the rattan basket, looking down from the top of Sifang Mountain.

Except for the busy figures in the smelting workshop, and the people standing tightly around the smelting workshop.

But I saw... shadowy figures at the foot of the mountain. Some people acted secretly, sometimes lowering their heads and whispering, sometimes looking around.

Their behavior seemed incompatible with the tranquil mountain forest, like a group of ghosts in the dark, wandering silently on this land...

The appearance of this scene made Guan Lin frown slightly, and an inexplicable alarm surged in his heart.

Liao Hua pointed at the black figures and stretched out his hand to signal: "That's them... I went to investigate. They were Taoists disguised as mountain people, acting suspiciously... The purpose of this trip must be related to the refining of white phosphorus. As for their origins , some came from the north, and some were born in Lujiang. When they were drinking in a wine shop and talking, one of them accidentally mentioned that their master's surname was Ge... a native of Jurong, Danyang. These Taoists called him 'Ge Xiangong' !”

——Ge Xiangong?

Hearing this name, Guan Lin subconsciously thought of the description of this "Gong Xian" in "The Legend of Immortals·Ge Xuan".

It is said that Master Ge Xuan studied the "Nine Alchemy Golden Liquid Immortal Sutra" from Zuo Ci, often took bait magic, was good at curing diseases, used talismans to command ghosts, was good at magical transformations, and finally dismembered corpses...

There are also legends in many places in the south in later generations, saying that he became an immortal by making elixirs, ascended to heaven during the day, and ranked among the immortals.

Of course, these... except that Ge Xuan is Zuo Ci's apprentice, everything else... Guan Lin thinks it is quite fantasy and quite nonsense.

I even think... this is a bit too much.

Speaking of which, Guan Lin is a materialist and believes in science.

In addition, as someone who has experienced it, Guan Lin understands the "Taoism" of this era very well. The struggle between Confucianism and Taoism ran through the Han Dynasty, from the early Han Dynasty when Taoism was praised, to when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed hundreds of schools of thought and only respected Confucianism, and then to Taoism challenged Confucianism again and again, and finally launched the Yellow Turban Uprising.

The purpose of everything the Taoists do in this era is actually one thing, which is to defeat Confucianism, regain their lost status, and once again become a sect that the rulers rely on!

If it is for this purpose...

Be it Zuo Ci, Ge Xuan, these Taoists, or even the former Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao, Zhang Liang... even Zhang Daoling, Zhang Heng, Zhang Lu of the Five Pecks of Rice Sect... Guan Lin can find out what they have done. Come up with your most pressing motivation.

"This Ge Xuan they mentioned? Has he also arrived in Jiangxia?" Guan Lin asked...

Liao Hua shook his head, "Not yet. We have sent people to keep a close eye on these people in secret... Although there are many of them, their leader has not appeared."

So... Guan Lin thought again.

Lu Xun suggested again: "The refining of white phosphorus is of great importance. Now that Ni Wei has imitated the flying ball, if he steals the white phosphorus again, it will definitely... become even more powerful? Yun Qi, don't take risks!"

Lu Xun's attitude remained the same as before. He should arrest these Taoists immediately and use thunderous means to intimidate the group and prevent Ni Wei from coveting the refinement of "white phosphorus".

Against Wei, flying balls alone are not fatal to the "South".

But if white phosphorus is added, it will be a disaster for Xue Linlin's life.

"I understand what Boyan means." Guan Lin's eyes were deep and solemn, and his tone was extremely solemn, "Punch away with one punch to prevent others from coming. This is one method, but... the method I think of is... Even more violently, as the saying goes, repay him with kindness, doesn't he, Cao Aman, want this white phosphorus? I'll give it to him! I'll give him as much as he wants! I'll give him as much as he wants, and I'll send it to Luoyang City. I just want it. Let him, Cao Aha, understand... what it means to be trapped in a cocoon?"

this…

Lu Xun was startled. He pursed his lips slightly and thought to himself:

——"Is Yun Qi going to make Ni Wei... pay the price of life and death?" This price... is indeed extremely violent! 』

——'Fortunately, this evil deed will eventually be recorded on Cao Cao's head, and Cao Cao has another butcher's knife! 』

Lu Xun is still daydreaming...

At this time, Guan Lin directly ordered Liao Hua, "Send someone to contact these Taoists and discuss the price of this white phosphorus. We are not short of money. It is best to exchange things for things... in exchange for items that are in short supply in the south!" "

After Guan Lin finished speaking, Liao Hua handed over his hand: "Here..."

But he thought of something else, and said quickly: "Just, there is one thing... If I send businessmen to contact them so easily, will it be too deliberate, and will it arouse their suspicion..."

"Yes!" Guan Lin answered directly, "So, we need to do it more cleverly..."

As these words fell, Guan Lin couldn't help but fall into deep thought. He didn't understand the temperament of Zuo Ci and Ge Xuan, but Cao Cao was a suspicious person by nature.

Appropriate timing, clever intervention, this thing... is easy to say, but not easy to do.

"Master, there is one more thing..." Liao Hua reported again: "Zhang Fang from the Beggar Clan sent a message that he and Mr. Wei Cao Pi are about to rush to Anlu City in Jiangxia... Let us provide certain convenience!"

Well…

When this piece of news came out, Guan Lin's eyes suddenly narrowed.

Speaking of which, since Guan Lin deliberately let Cao Pi return to Cao Wei and placed "Zhang Fang" of the Beggar Gang around him, things have begun to develop according to the pattern Guan Lin expected.

He must allow Cao Pi to go back smoothly, and then in Cao Cao's last few years, the biggest hidden danger within Wei Wei will break out, and it is also the key hidden danger that can tear Cao Wei apart.

——Disputes among the princes.

I never thought that after Zhang Fang took Cao Pi across the river, he did not choose to go to Huainan...

Instead, he took a seemingly dangerous path "Jiangxia"!

This is somewhat deviated from the expected plan.

Of course, this was due to Cao Pi's gloomy mind.

Perhaps after experiencing Soochow as a hostage, Cao Pi also grew up and realized that the most dangerous place is the safest place!

But equally, maybe Cao Pi had other ideas.

Zhang Fang and Cao Pi accompany each other every day, and it is impossible to report everything in detail.

But...now that I have come to Jiangxia, then...

It was as if he suddenly figured out something.

Guan Lin's originally solemn cheeks gradually softened, and the corners of his mouth quickly opened into a faint smile.

He smiled and said: "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. No, Cao Pi is giving us a divine assist!"

…

…

Liu Feng was depressed. Ever since he met Liu Bei and returned to the mansion, he had locked himself in the room, feeling extremely depressed and depressed.

Under the dim light, his figure looked particularly lonely and desolate, with his arms folded across his chest and his eyes staring blankly ahead, as if the whole world had nothing to do with him...

"Oh...ah...ah..."

With his hands spread out weakly, his face became paler and paler, with a bitter smile hanging on the corner of his mouth, as if he was mocking himself for his own incompetence and helplessness in the development of the whole thing.

"Why... just... ugh... ugh!"

Another hesitant sigh...

This space seemed to be filled with a kind of dullness and depression forever, which made Liu Feng feel suffocated.

For a moment, he had a strong premonition in his heart. He seemed to have fallen into an endless abyss, surrounded by darkness and unable to find any way out.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm down the fluctuations in his heart, but he just murmured softly: "Why...what the hell is going on, how...just...just..."

Right now...

With a "pop", the door of the house was pushed open. It was Ma Su. He walked in with a frown on his face, "Gong Zhong (Liu Feng), I have been looking for you for a long time. It turns out that you have come back and are still hiding here." …What’s wrong with you?"

Ma Di was once Liu Feng's hope and his guiding light.

But now... Liu Feng's mood seems to be shrouded in a heavy haze. Where can he see any hope and light?

"Youchang...I...伱...alas...alas..."

I can see Liu Feng's frustration and dejection.

Ma Su took three steps and two steps at a time, walked in front of Liu Feng, put his hands on his shoulders, and shook him hard, "Gongzhong? What's wrong with you? I just heard that Liu Chan was following his example. The treacherous son of the Guan family used some fallacious reasoning to convince your father and Zhuge Kongming. It was... that he had great luck! But... what does this have to do with you? Aren't you just here to plead for mercy? Even if you can't show it, Brothers and sisters are respectful and affectionate, but at least...at least you won't be scolded and you won't be so depressed, right?"

indeed.

Just as Ma Su said, at that critical moment that Liu Feng knew nothing about, his younger brother Liu Chan turned the tide and made a "funny" plea to Liu Bei after making a comeback...

as expected…

The development of the situation was completely opposite to what he expected.

As Ma Su brought the topic to this matter, Liu Feng couldn't help but his eyes were blurred, and the scene just now came to mind again.

At that time, Liu Bei walked out of the house with Zhuge Liang, Fazheng, Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei and others.

Liu Feng, on the other hand, knelt down in front of Liu Bei almost in tears, and said in a pitiful tone: "Father, Adou is my beloved brother. He made a big mistake. He contradicted his father, which is certainly unfilial... But as a brother, I can't." Even if you teach your younger brother well, you can't escape the blame. Father...if you are still angry, let it go to the child, and spare Brother Adou! He is still young and not sensible yet!"

Following Liu Feng's words... Liu Bei stopped.

But he did not lower his head or look directly at Liu Feng. Zhuge Liang looked at him, but remained silent like Liu Bei.

Yang Yi was still upright and said sarcastically: "What a brother and friend who move heaven and earth!"

Fa Zheng's words were not so polite. He asked Liu Feng directly: "Mr. Gongzhong? Why do you appear here? Isn't all this... planned by you in advance? And... what I said when your father got married Being so drunk, the assassination of Adou on his way back to Bashu from Jingzhou...was it also your premeditation?"

Uh... Fazheng's words directly frightened Liu Feng, giving him a sudden sense of deja vu that his plan had been exposed.

Fazheng was still emphasizing, "Could it be that this has nothing to do with you, Mr. Gongzhong?"

this…

Under Fazheng's not harsh but "aggressive" words, Liu Feng was really scared to death. He suddenly became completely panicked. His eyes and face were full of disbelief, panic and fright. Certainly.

And his expression was all seen by Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and others.

With a "click", Liu Feng knelt down subconsciously, "What is Military Advisor Xiaozhi talking about? I...I don't know? I...I am here to plead for brother Adou! Why did Military Advisor Xiaozhi say this... ?”

Liu Feng didn't realize at all that he was already a little incoherent...

Liu Bei, on the other hand, remained silent and did not even lower his head to look at Liu Feng as before. In fact, he completely ignored this "step-son" kneeling down...

Huh...huh...

Liu Feng was gasping for air in his heart, but he was still quibbling: "Commander Xiaozhi, what are you talking about? I...I don't know at all? I don't know anything!"

"You don't know?" Fazheng smacked his lips slightly, then smiled: "If you don't know, then why are you kneeling?"

Uh...this...

For a moment, Liu Feng's heart felt like an ice pick.

It is no exaggeration to say that at this moment...he has already thought of the worst-case scenario!

Has it been exposed? Has everything been revealed?

If exposed, then...will he...will...

Subconsciously, Liu Feng raised his eyes to look at his father Liu Bei, but...the only thing his father left to him was a deep silhouette, and he could not see his father's happiness or anger at all.

It was when Liu Feng was most helpless that Fazheng spoke again, and even helped Liu Feng up.

"Young Master Gongzhong, I was joking with you just now, but you...why are you so timid and timid? As soon as I finished speaking, you knelt down directly. This is not like you!"

For Liu Feng, this "joke" from Fazheng was like an amnesty.

But even so, he was especially afraid of standing upright again and again, tremblingly.

"Ahem"... After a slight cough, Liu Feng sighed: "Mr. Xiaozhi suddenly said this, with such aura and atmosphere, it completely frightened me... and also made me unable to I couldn't help but knelt down, it turned out to be a misunderstanding...Yes, this was a misunderstanding!"

Even though he said this, Liu Feng still showed some timidity...

"Hahahaha..." Fazheng smiled and said to Liu Feng: "So cowardly? How dare your father give you the position of commander-in-chief of the three armies attacking Hanzhong?"

ah…

Liu Feng was stunned. No matter what, he would never have thought that Fazheng would lead the conversation here without hesitation.

Just when he was stunned.

"My lord... don't hide anything from the young master." Fa Zheng said to Liu Bei: "It's time to inform the eldest son, Gong Zhong, of the military order in advance, right?"

Sure enough... as Fazheng's words fell, Liu Bei turned around and looked at Liu Feng quite solemnly, "Gongzhong..."

"Father?"

"Dad has just discussed with Xiaozhi, Kong Ming, your Uncle Zilong, your Sanshu Zhang, General Huang Lao, and General Ma Chao, and decided that you will fight the first battle of the Hanzhong Battle against Yangping Pass. I hope my son will not let you down. What are the expectations of dad and these uncles! Come back with a beautiful victory!"

ah…

Liu Bei's words surprised Liu Feng.

In the first battle in Hanzhong, Yangpingguan... let... let him fight? This this…

You know, before... Liu Feng took the initiative to ask for help many times, and this battle at Yangping Pass had not decided on a vanguard candidate, but now... why... why did he suddenly... be chosen?

Of course, being a vanguard and fighting the first battle is what Liu Feng yearns for, and it is also an extremely important part of Ma Di's plan to "fight for the crown prince" for him.

But...but there is no doubt that under this situation, it seems a bit strange.

"Don't you want to go?" Liu Bei saw Liu Feng in a daze, so he opened his mouth again.

Liu Feng knelt down again with a "click" sound, "My child accepts the order, my child... my child will definitely live up to his mission!"

He agreed, but Liu Feng always felt that something was strange, but he couldn't tell where it was specifically...

"good!"

Liu Bei just left a brief "good" word, and then walked away directly with heavy steps.

Behind him, Zhuge Liang, Huang Yueying, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, Huang Zhong, and Zhao Yun also looked at Liu Feng meaningfully... It was as if everyone had special thoughts, but this thought was buried deep in their hearts.

Zhang Fei was still careless, he smiled and sighed: "You kid, hehe..."

After feeling this, Zhang Fei also left...

Liu Feng was left alone in shock.

As if Fazheng saw Liu Feng's surprise, he smiled and said, "Gongzhong, this is your father's 'entrustment' of an important task to you. Whether you can impress these uncles depends on your battle." But these days, your second brother Adou's performance has amazed everyone. You and Adou are both your father's sons, why doesn't your father have high hopes for you?"

Having said this, Fazheng patted Liu Feng on the shoulder again.

Then he raised his head, and now he is chasing Liu Bei out. However, after he raised his head, the corners of his mouth quickly opened, revealing an intriguing smile...

It's a pity that now...Liu Feng, who was just recovering from the shock, had no time to notice this "heart-wrenching" smile!

now…

Liu Feng Weiwei told Ma Su in detail everything about the weird thing that had just happened, and his eyebrows were deeply furrowed.

"I inquired later and found out that it was Adou, that good-for-nothing, who managed to convince my father and the others with all the nonsense... what a piece of shit luck..."

"But what does my father mean by asking me to lead troops to fight against Hanzhong? You Chang, please help me analyze this... what is going on here?"

"Youchang, you are talking...talking!"

Just now it was Ma Su who asked...

This time, when Liu Feng told the story, Liu Feng kept asking questions, but Ma Di fell silent... He held his chin, as if he was deep in thought.

This this…

Ten breaths! Twenty breaths!

Fifty breaths! One hundred breaths!

After a full hundred breaths, Ma Su's eyes finally opened wide, and the first words he said were, "Gongzhong, you have no way out. This battle...either to gain prestige and gain prestige among the three armies." , so that the lord must leave the position of heir apparent to you, or...everything, I'm afraid, will start to be liquidated!"

These words made Liu Feng startled...

However, Ma Su quickly pressed his shoulders with both hands, and while shaking him violently, he said: "Gongzhong... Gongzhong... you and I have reached a dead end. If the battle at Yangpingguan... fails... then... just... Cheng Ren!”

In this short sentence, Ma Su stumbled more than three times, but even so, every word he said was deep and heavy, just like...the last clang——

…

…

In Shuzhong and Hanzhong, the coming chilling atmosphere was like an invisible weight hanging over the city walls of Chengdu.

The cold wind howled like the cry of wolves, echoing among the empty towers, picking up waves of fine snow particles and hitting the face, bringing a biting chill.

Even the city bricks will look particularly vicissitudes of life under the erosion of the coming wind and snow. Each brick seems to tell the weight of history and the ruthlessness of time.

What a long day it is!

What a tacit understanding this is!

"Tap..."

"Tap..."

At dusk, the same heavy sound came from different city ladders... Amidst the deep footsteps, two men walked calmly to the top of the city. One shook his feather fan lightly, and the other frowned in thought, as if... they Every step I take is thinking about the general trend of the world.

They climbed onto the tower almost at the same time, their eyes facing each other... Those were two pairs of deep and bright eyes, like the brightest stars in the night sky, revealing the wisdom of insight into everything.

——"Tap tap... tap tap!"

There was another burst of footsteps, and they stepped onto the tower together. A gust of wind blew in their faces, gently lifting their clothes.

Zhuge Liang's hair looked a little messy, fluttering in the wind, intertwined with the dancing of the feather fan.

Fazheng's hair also fluttered gently, but it further showed the resoluteness and calmness of his face.

Above the city, the view was wide, with mountains and rivers in the distance and nearby cities all in sight. Zhuge Liang stared into the distance. Finally, he spoke, "I didn't expect that a strategy like sending Liu Feng to attack Yangping Pass would work. It was you, Xiaozhi, who proposed it... I never thought that after you proposed it, my lord... would actually agree!"

As Zhuge Liang spoke, he raised his eyes, as if he could see the future through the layers of clouds... the scene of swords and sword shadows under Yang Ping Pass.

Fazheng pondered for a moment, then opened his mouth: "Kong Ming, I don't want to talk about Liu Feng today... but I want to talk to you about some intimate topics!"

Having said this, Fazheng looked at Zhuge Liang solemnly: "Kong Ming, the unification of this world needs benevolent gentlemen like Xiao He, but it also needs despicable villains like Gao Zu, some upright things, Kong Ming... you go You can do it, my lord, but if it’s something treacherous or villainous, it’s my turn to rectify it, and I will do it with justice and benevolence!”

this…

Fazheng did not answer Zhuge Liang, but it was as if every word he spoke was answering Zhuge Liang.

call…

Taking a deep breath, Zhuge Liang opened his mouth, but swallowed back all the words he wanted to say. His expression was a little lonely, but he soon regained his former glory.

It seems that, as wise as he is, he can understand the meaning of Fa Zheng's words... those words.

At this time, Fa Zheng's words continued. "Kong Ming, my Fa Zheng skill is 'gratitude'. I must repay any kindness and repay my hatred. Haha, since Yun Qi has brought me back from the gate of hell, I must take on some things!"

"Even if these things are not the right way, not the royal way, not the benevolent way...even if these things are shameless, evil, and despicable, but...as long as they are beneficial to the great man of Sanxing, as long as they are beneficial to my lord, my Fa is still that righteous. In a word - do your duty! If you want to subvert this dark world, one person must bear all the hatred, Kong Ming...you should get out of the way, let me bear all this hatred!"

At this point, Fazheng was silent for a long time, and finally said the last sentence under the gaze of Zhuge Liang's complicated eyes.

"The reserve position is uncertain, there is no peace in Shu, and the Han Dynasty is not prosperous——"

…

…
