Chapter 120: A fiery eye that shines coldly on people(2/2)
"The king's king!" the wine shop owner blurted out following Guan Lin's words.
As this sentence came out, Guan Lin's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he looked directly at the wine shop owner with a smile, "Didn't you just say that you are illiterate? Then don't you know... The King's King?"
'Which king is it?"
this…
For a moment, the wine shop owner swallowed hard subconsciously.
For a moment, he felt that the smiling eyes of the young master in front of him were simply breathtaking, as if all lies could not escape his eyes, and all falsehoods... would be seen through by him.
at the same time…
Zhang Xingcai and Guan Yinping were both shocked at the door.
Guan Yinping's eyes widened and she lowered her voice.
"Fourth brother caught him right, he really has a ghost..."
Zhang Xingcai nodded heavily, "Otherwise, why would he hide that he can write?"
Before Guan Yinping and Zhang Xingcai could fully think about it, Guan Lin's voice came out again. "I've asked questions, answered questions, and played enough. Now... let's talk about business."
Guan Lin's eyes moved upward, "How can you escape from Cao Chu's fiery eyes? Why don't you plan to use them?"
"Wei Spy——Nightingale!"

…
Luoyang City.
Since Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang, it has become an empty city. The empty houses are uninhabited, and some still have traces of burning.
On the broad street, a few ragged people and unkempt children gathered at the once glorious Hongdumen School.
At this moment, someone is taking advantage of the darkness to tell stories in front of the ruins of Hongdumen School.
Storytelling elsewhere is about making money, but storytelling here is about bringing a lonely paradise to the only remaining people in this empty city.
Historically, Cao Cao rebuilt Luoyang after Guan Yu defeated Maicheng.
Cao Cao had extremely complicated feelings and dual meanings for Luoyang.
First, he buried Guan Yu lavishly here.
Secondly, Cao Cao himself came to the end of his life here.
Speaking of which, there has always been controversy over where Cao Cao was buried, but there is no controversy over where he died.
Cao Cao died in the rebuilt Luoyang City.
Of course, at this moment, Luoyang does not have the slightest hint of reconstruction.
The streets are full of broken walls and ruins, and the magnificent palace is hideous and dilapidated. There are weeds growing inside the palace, and rabbits and foxes are running around.
Taking advantage of the nightfall, a carriage slowly arrived at the ruins of Hongdu School. The woman who walked out of it was dressed in red. She was the woman who stabbed Cao Cao's portrait again and again with a dagger under the Mangdang Mountain Cemetery that day.
.
She slowly walked among the people, sat on a stone step, and listened quietly to the scholar telling stories.
Having said that...
Storytelling in the north is completely different from storytelling in the south.
Northern storytellers praised Cao Cao, but disparaged the Liu, Guan, Zhang and Sun clans;
But the storytellers in the south are completely opposite. Liu is praised and Cao is devalued.
The principle of winning a king and losing a bandit is applicable everywhere.
As for the historical truth?
Is it important?
The truth in the minds of the people is just a story that is circulated in the market. This is public opinion!
The woman in red remembers that the last time she came here to listen to a book, the storyteller told the story of Liu, Guan, and Zhang Taoyuan becoming sworn brothers, and killing each other's children to "seal their hearts."
And the performance of "Sealing the Heart" completely overturned his impression of Liu, Guan and Zhang.
This time...it's about...
The woman in red slowly raised her eyes. The storyteller at this moment had just begun.
——"Diao Chan was originally the adopted daughter of Situ Wang Yun. In order to eradicate the rebellious minister Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun used Diao Chan as bait and set up a series of schemes. He first pretended to promise it to Lu Bu, and then openly offered Diao Chan to Dong Zhuo. Finally, he instigated Lu Bu to kill him.
He killed Dong Zhuo and became famous all over the world."
——"After that, Lu Bu and Diao Chan fled around like a bereaved dog. In the end, they were defeated by Cao Cao and Liu Bei and died in Baimenlou. However, how to deal with Diao Chan became a tricky thing."
——"Prime Minister Cao is a good wife, and it is known to the whole world that he naturally covets Diao Chan's beauty, but Diao Chan doesn't like Cao Cao at all, and just ignores her."
——"Cao Cao couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he asked Cheng Yu for advice. Cheng Yu was very thoughtful and suggested to Cao Cao that he might as well learn from Wang Yun back then and make a series of plans, using Diao Chan as bait to instigate discord among the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang.
In the end, you reap the benefits."
Tonight's storyteller is about Diao Chan.
Often women's stories, especially those of world-famous women like Diao Chan, can arouse widespread curiosity among men.
Because of this, the number of people who came to Hongdumen to learn listening tonight was more than double that of usual.
Most of them are big men in ragged clothes!
On the other hand, when the woman in red heard "Diao Chan", her heart skipped a beat, as if the name touched some nerve in him.
This also made her eyes open and her ears prick up, looking forward to the storyteller's next story.
——"Although Cao Cao was reluctant to give away Diao Chan, the most beautiful woman in the world, for nothing, he was still a hero after all. After weighing the pros and cons, he immediately made a decision and sent people to spread the news that Diao Chan would be betrothed to Guan Yu.
.”
——"Among the three brothers in Taoyuan, Zhang Fei is undoubtedly the most reckless. He drank more wine that day and heard that Prime Minister Cao was going to marry Diao Chan to his second brother. His expression changed at that time. The eldest brother failed to help the Han Dynasty, and the second brother failed.
I just want to marry my wife, so why did I 'seal' my heart in the first place? This also goes against my original oath, and it really shouldn't be done! Immediately ride on horseback and go straight to the small courtyard where Diao Chan is."
At this point, someone who looked like a gangster shouted: "Master Zhang, are you going to occupy Diao Chan first?"
As soon as he said this, "Hahaha..." everyone burst into laughter.
The woman in red, on the other hand, had a cold expression...and her eyebrows were as dark as water.
"Of course not!"
The storyteller replied casually and continued his sermon.
——"It is said that Mr. Guan's courtyard happened to be separated from Diao Chan's courtyard by only a wall. That night, Mr. Guan was reading "Spring and Autumn" by the moonlight. Suddenly he heard a woman crying next door, so he asked Xiao Bing who she was.
Who is crying?"
——"Soon, the soldier replied that it was Diao Chan who was crying. Guan Erye was thoughtful and asked his men to bring Diao Chan. After a while, Diao Chan arrived calmly. Although she looked sad, she still had outstanding appearance.
It is said that the country is beautiful and fragrant."
——" Mr. Guan sighed repeatedly in his heart. Diao Chan is so beautiful. No wonder heroes like Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu would kneel under her pomegranate skirt. Now it is rumored that Cao Cao betrothed her to him. He probably has evil intentions and wants to use a series of tricks to get his brothers.
The three of them are at odds, so it seems that no matter how good-looking Diaochan is, she is still a pest and cannot be kept!"
——"Thinking of this, Mr. Guan couldn't help but feel murderous!"
At this point, the storyteller paused, calmed down, and calmed down...
This is just the first half.
But...it was mentioned that Guan Erye wanted to kill Diao Chan.
The woman in red suddenly became excited, she clenched her fists, and those urgent words came out quickly through her veil.
——"What happened next? Guan Yu...did Guan Yu really kill..."
Very urgent tone...
Don't wait for her to finish speaking.
The other people shouted: "It was Diao Chan who was killed, not you. Why are you so excited..."
"I...I..."
The woman in red clenched her fists tighter in an instant.
She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end... she swallowed everything she wanted to say.
But it was her eyes, those crystal eyes that glowed with a few rays of bright red light!
