"Okay, okay...don't worry!"

Mi Fang patted her chest and said, "I, Mi Fang, I'm on the boat, I'll go right now... I'll go and steal Cao Yu's family, okay? Ji Chang, are you satisfied? And... Ji Chang... you... you're a millionaire

Don’t bluff me!”

I watched this guy go.

Ma Liang's heart was especially throbbing.

——"Are you bluffing? Haha... This is not the first time Yun Qi has guessed the enemy's actions!"

——"And this time, it's a matter of course. This...this is imminent...Who is bluffing you?"

The reason why Ma Liang proposed was to let Mi Fang steal the thousand people brought by Cao Yu's subordinates to give to Guan Lin.

Ah no...not a thousand to be exact, but nine hundred people.

It's not because of the number, but because these nine hundred people are Guan Lin's tribe. They have repeating crossbows and sidecars in their hands!

No matter what Mi Fang's combat prowess is, Ma Liangliang still has a clue!

If there were no magical weapons such as the repeating crossbow and the side carriage.

If you don’t get enough insurance, you’ll have to be beaten by Wenpin!

"Ji Chang..." At this moment, Wang Fu walked to Ma Liang's side, "How come you have become so unstable this time?"

"ah…"

If it weren't for Wang Fu's reminder, Ma Liang would have almost forgotten it. He would not have bothered to answer Wang Fu. "The letter...General Liao Hua's letter must be sent to the Guan Gong office immediately...immediately..."

"——I almost forgot, I almost delayed something big!"

…

…

The bathroom is surrounded by gauze, like smoke and mist, and the steam of hot water fills the room, making it seem like a dream.

Someone had already poured toilet water into the tub.

Guan Lin sat in one wooden barrel, and Zhuge Ke sat in another.

Zhuge Ke was surprised, why... the fourth young master Guan Lin chatted with him for the first time. The place he chose was not a formal main hall, not a hidden study, but such a private and intimate bathroom.

"Do you know why I chose this bathroom?" Guan Lin was the first to speak.

Zhuge Ke shook his head. "I don't know."

A hint of surprise flashed in Guan Lin's eyes, "People say you are smart, but you are as smart as you...don't you even guess?"

Zhuge Ke smiled, "Since it is the Fourth Young Master who is asking the question, if you answer it correctly, you will steal the Fourth Young Master's next words. If you answer incorrectly, you will inevitably disappoint the Fourth Young Master. Since this is the case, I simply won't answer!"

Hearing this sentence, Guan Lin felt that this guy was a bit interesting.

He picked up the edge of the barrel and got closer to Zhuge Ke.

"I chose this place because... we can be honest with each other!"

Having said this, Guan Lin waved his hand and asked directly, "Did your father ask you to come?"

"The Fourth Young Master is talking about my current father Zhuge Kongming? Or is it my former father and now uncle Zhuge Ziyu?"

Guan Lin suddenly felt that his questions were not rigorous.

Ancient people, adoptive... It’s so clear!

"I ask again, was it Zhuge Ziyu, the envoy from Soochow, who sent you here?"

"no!"

"That's not right. After all, you were adopted by Zhuge Military Advisor. You should go to Shu to find your new father. I, Guan Lin, are not related to you. Why did you come to find me?" Guan Lin asked.

His most curious question.

Zhuge Ke paused for a moment, looked at himself in the barrel, and then looked at Guan Lin with his upper body exposed, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

——"These fourth young masters are really straight to the point and honest with us!"

Immediately, Zhuge Ke did not hide it.

"Yesterday, by the Laodao River and next to Luohan Village, I saw the Fourth Young Master Guan..."

"Oh...are you here to persuade me?" Before Zhuge Ke could finish speaking, Guan Lin's words had already spread.

"Mencius said: Those who are benevolent love others, those who are polite respect others, those who love others are always loved by others, and those who respect others are always respected by others..." Zhuge Ke tried to use great principles to persuade Guan Lin to rein in his horse.

Of course, it's not his fault. He just arrived here and is not familiar with Guan Lin.

If the saint's principles could persuade Guan Lin, then Guan Yu would not have to write a sin against himself.

"Ahem..."

Sure enough, Guan Lin interrupted Zhuge Ke's words with a slight cough, but he changed the subject and did not mention what happened yesterday. "So, you passed to Zhuge Military Advisor, what about your brother Zhuge Qiao? What is your father?

Why not adopt him, but adopt you?"

Guan Lin looked at Zhuge Ke's fat belly and asked with interest: "Could it be that your father thinks you are too fat? That's not true, right? Zhuge Jin is also the envoy of Soochow after all, so he shouldn't judge people by their appearance!"

Hear this…

Zhuge Ke suddenly wanted to say something.

——Did I eat your rice?

But he still held back, his sense of mission was very strong, and he repeated in his mind that he was here to persuade Guan Lin.

However, Zhuge Ke discovered that... his conversation with Guan Lin was not on the same point at all.

Zhuge Ke expressed his thoughts in a serious manner.

"The matter of adoption is a family matter of my Zhuge family, so I don't need the Fourth Young Master to worry about it."

"But Fourth Young Master, do you know what kind of status Doctor Zhang has in Changsha, even in Jingzhou, and in the Xinglin world? You were in front of his house yesterday, beating people, forcing your way in, and kidnapping people? You yourself

You don’t care about the impact, but have you ever thought about it, if someone adds fuel to the flames and tells the world about this, then... where will your father’s prestige be?”

oh…

A denunciation.

Guan Lin blinked his eyes, although these words did not sound good.

But... the information in it is quite large.

"Let me answer some of your questions..." Guan Linyou looked arrogant, "First of all, what impact will it have if I hit people, forcefully break in, or kidnap people? Sorry, I, Guan Lin, have always been unafraid of people's words.

Of course, the influence on my father... I don’t care about his influence? Haven’t you heard of my reputation as a ‘rebellious son’!”

Speaking of this, Guan Lin's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a fierce light, "Also, you just said that someone was adding fuel to the flames. It was your former father Zhuge Jin... He was fueling the flames, right?"

this…

Suddenly his thoughts were revealed, and Zhuge Ke's brows suddenly furrowed, as if he was very nervous.

"You don't have to be afraid." Guan Lin always smiled, but with a 'swish' sound, he suddenly stood up from the wooden basin.

He put on a bathrobe and turned his back to Zhuge Ke.

But he said loudly: "I, Guan Lin, am not afraid of people's words. How can I be afraid of people adding fuel to the flames? But your former father...I am worried about him, fearing that he will end up throwing stones at someone else's feet again, stealing the chicken but losing the rice!"

"

After talking, Guan Lin had already wrapped himself in a bathrobe and went to the side room to change clothes.

Changsha is dry and the whole body is covered with moisture.

In this day and age, there are no chili peppers, so it’s hard to get rid of the moisture... It’s really uncomfortable not to take a shower!

As for inviting Zhuge Ke to join him, it was actually just a coincidence.

However, after Guan Lin left, Zhuge Ke was the only one still sitting alone in the wooden barrel in the hot bathroom.

For a while…

Guan Lin's words echoed in his ears.

——Don’t be afraid of what others say!

——The influence on my father? I don’t care about his influence!

——Have you never heard of my reputation as a ‘rebellious son’?

Especially the last sentence - it's your former father...I'm afraid he will end up shooting someone else in the foot again!

Zhuge Ke's brows furrowed slightly, his mind was delicate, and he noticed it keenly.

"It seems that Fourth Young Master Guan just used... used the word 'you'... used the word 'you'!"

"That is to say...the last bet in Hefei was fueled by my father. He...he knew it!"

For a moment, Zhuge Ke's eyes showed a little more understanding.

But as this "understanding" deepened, more confusion and confusion were added to his mind.
