Three Kingdoms: The Guan Family's Rebellious Son, Long Blessing Jing Xiang

died--

There was just a sound, and then the chief priest of the Five Pecks of Rice Sect named "Huang Chang" fell to the ground.

The back was broken open, revealing a huge hole in the chest, and blood was constantly gushing out of the hole.

Even... the speed from birth to death was so fast that not even any extra wails were made.

This is the most painful and desperate way to die.

This is also the most deterrent way to kill the enemy!

——『What is it?』

--"who is it?"

The remaining five high priests either shouted out in panic or chanted the same question with trembling in their hearts.

Except for the one with injured legs, the remaining four people stood back to back, looking around with extreme tension.

At this time...

"boom--"

Another sound.

But unlike the last surprise attack, this time Zhang Zhuo, Mengsheng, Wang Sheng and Yang Feng were already like frightened birds. When the sound came, they quickly scattered.

(P.S.: This Yang Feng is not the Yang Feng of the Baibo Army, they just have the same name)

However, in this way, Zhao Guang in the middle would no longer have any cover...

In addition, his legs were injured and he could hardly move. He watched helplessly as a tiny spherical object wrapped in flames shot towards him...

He couldn't see clearly what it was. In fact, the next moment, he heard a "ah" sound... His whole head seemed to bloom, his brain splattered... and he quickly fell over.

Two sounds... two lives—

And it’s so fast as lightning, how can this be tolerated?
Zhang Zhuo knew very well that the enemy was in the dark while he was in the light. If he kept dodging, sooner or later his head would explode like Zhao Guang's.

If you can't win, then retreat...

However, before retreating, we still need to finish what needs to be done——

Just when Zhang Zhuo had this thought, Meng Sheng shouted: "Old Zhang, what should we do? Come up with an idea..."

"Kill that barbarian woman and evacuate immediately—"

After giving this order, Mengsheng realized that he was closest to the barbarian girl, so he turned over and raised the dagger with both hands... The dagger's blade flashed...

But at the same time, the dagger also revealed his location.

"boom--"

The third sound.

The familiar explosion sounded as expected, and then... almost like a copy and paste, Meng's death was exactly the same as Huang Chang's.

But this time...

Zhang Zhuo had already pinpointed the location of the sound.

He even noticed that this "sound" had intervals, which meant that... the unknown, terrible destructive force could not be released infinitely and without gaps...

Taking advantage of the dying, he shouted: "Just outside the house, come together--"

Wang Sheng and Yang Fengzi also knew that in this situation, the farther the distance, the more vulnerable they would be.

Not as good as…

Rush out and fight.

All I could hear were the sounds of “whoosh,” “whoosh,” and “whoosh.”

The three of them rushed out as fast as lightning and as swift as the wind. Sure enough... there was a man in black clothes and a bamboo hat outside, filling something into a metal pipe.

This man is Guan Suo...

The weapon in his hand was nothing but a musket.

That's right... With Liu Chan's discovery of Pu Yuan, he successfully used the steel pouring method to forge weapons and armor. And because of the development of explosive packs, he had amazing destructive power on the battlefield and shined brightly.

Therefore, Huang Yueying immediately realized that the "fire gun" drawings sent by Yunqi could be put into research and development.

Thanks to the foundation of steel and gunpowder, the conditions for the successful development of the musket were created.

Also, because Guan Lin was worried about his brother Guan Suo's dangerous actions, he sent a pigeon to tell Huang Yueying to make a musket to help Guan Suo!
Then, relying on Huang Yueying's craftsmanship.

The musket that now appears in Guan Suo's hand is the third version developed by Huang Yueying.

Although the previous arquebus had a long range, it was made of bamboo, so its power was unstable and...it was easy to hurt oneself. After going through another version, it was the turn of the current hand cannon.

It was on that day when Guan Suo went to visit military advisor Zhuge Liang and found out that Huang Yueying was pregnant. Huang Yueying specially kept him for a moment and gave him the musket!
I never thought that it would be used in actual combat so soon, and... it is so powerful!
By the time Zhang Zhao and his men arrived, Guan Suo had just completed a new round of reloading.

Zhang Zhuo, Wang Sheng, and Yang Feng thought that such a powerful weapon would be quite complicated to use, at least like a large crossbow, requiring debugging, winding, and twisting...

It was precisely because of this that Wang Sheng seized the opportunity and launched an offensive, attacking immediately -

Never thought...

"boom…"

Guan Suo simply pointed the cylinder at Wang Sheng. No one knew what mechanism was activated, but the mechanism must be extremely simple!
All I saw was... a burst of brilliant flames burst out, with the same loud sound as before, and hit Wang Sheng completely.

Wang Sheng felt as if he was hit by an overwhelming force. At such a close distance, he was knocked flying...

And he only felt that his waist... was as if it was cut off by a machete...

Then the cool wind rushed straight into my body...

My whole body was extremely cold.

Fortunately, the pain did not last long.

With the sound of "dong" and "dong" on the ground, Wang Sheng's eyes rolled back and he fell to the ground...

As the saying goes - when you die, your soul disappears!
...

Perhaps it was because the continuous firing of the muskets was too loud;

Perhaps it was because when Wang Sheng died, he flew to the ground, making a louder noise;

Or maybe it was because Huaman was not subjected to much force just now and did not faint enough.

In short, in a trance, she seemed to wake up, but because her injuries had not healed and because she had just woken up, her whole body had no strength. She could only hear the noises outside the door and see the corpses on the floor in the house.

She remembered everything that happened before very vividly.

She had even calculated and predicted that this was a deadly situation, so… besides the unconscious sisters? The corpses scattered all over the ground… and each of them died in such a tragic way? Why was this?
——『Did someone save me?』

Just thought of this...

"唵啷啷啷-"

The sound of weapons clashing could be heard outside the door.

It turned out that the remaining Zhang Zhuo and Yang Feng had already fought with Guan Suo.

There were seven of them when they came, but now there are only two of them left.

Because of the unknown and terrifying "cylinder", it is no longer a question of whether the mission can be accomplished for them.

But...but...only by killing the young, handsome and cruel boy in front of them, they will have a chance to go back alive.

Out of the instinct for survival——

The daggers of the two men flashed coldly, like two hungry cheetahs, their bodies were as fast as the wind, and the daggers turned into silver rays that pierced Guan Suo's chest.

In this situation, Guan Suo could no longer load the musket, so he had to use the musket as a weapon to fight the enemy.

"唵啷啷-"

There was another crisp sound of a knife, and the sound of metal colliding echoed in the night sky. At the same time, Yang Feng attacked from the flank, aiming directly at Guan Suo's waist.

Guan Suo turned his body and avoided the attack at an almost incredible angle.

At the same time, he used his musket to strike back, forcing Yang Feng to turn around and block.

but…

It was easy for a musket to block a dagger, but how could a small dagger, made of iron at that, block the attack of a steel pipe?

"Snapped--"

The dagger shattered into pieces... The musket hit Yang Feng in the face like a club, and Yang Feng's head was almost knocked crooked.

Blood was already flowing from his forehead, and he seemed to have lost all his strength, falling to the ground limply.

This scene...left Zhang Zhuo stunned.

What is this stuff?
Is this a divine weapon?
This thing can kill enemies from a long distance with amazing power, and it can also smash iron tools at close range with no reduction in destructive power?
How can there be such a thing?
Can it be far or near?

Why doesn't it go to the sky?

For a moment, he felt that it was so unfair, and he felt an even greater horror... The key point is, this horror was not brought by the young man in front of him, but... by the mysterious cylinder in his hand!
terrible--

The horror that was enough to put his life on the countdown—

"You are the only one left—"

Guan Suo stared at Zhang Zhuo with narrowed eyes, and glanced around to observe... whether there were any of the enemy's companions who were still alive.

My father Guan Yu taught us that on the battlefield, where life and death are at stake, every detail is important and a single negligence could lead to an irretrievable situation.

Fourth brother also said that being kind to the enemy is being cruel to yourself!

Fortunately, they are all dead, completely dead...

On the other side of Huaman, under the dim candlelight, Guan Suo also noticed that the barbarian girl seemed to have opened her eyes... and was looking towards him.

"call…"

With a light cry, Guan Suo couldn't care less...

He immediately collected his thoughts and looked at Zhang Zhui, who was motionless in front of him. While adding new "gunpowder" to the musket, he asked, "Who are you? Tell me..."

Zhang watched Guan Suo add white powder to the cylinder, thinking of the scene just now, and couldn't help but tremble all over...

He tried hard to calm himself down.

"I…I won't tell you—"

"So do you want to die? Or do you want to live?" Guan Suo asked. The gunpowder and bullet bags had been loaded. All that was left was to operate the mechanism and press it to continue shooting.

But at this moment...

Zhang Zhuo seemed to realize that Guan Suo was trying to delay time, so he quickly turned around... and leaped up, pretending to throw a dagger at Hua Man.

"No..." Guan Suo's heart tightened suddenly, and he cried out subconsciously...

He subconsciously wanted to raise the musket, but... the musket had not yet been fully pressed, so it could not be fired at all. At this moment, the situation suddenly changed... the enemy might die, but the barbarian woman would not be able to survive either -

...

...

The southern barbarians invaded.

Mianzhu Pass was easily captured.

Because the people of Shu had already been moved to Chengdu by Zhuge Liang in advance.

Therefore...the anger of the Barbarian King Meng Huo did not affect the common people here.

At this moment, Meng Huo and Cheng Yu stepped onto the pass together. Cheng Yu was a little surprised, but it seemed to be expected... He said lightly: "Chengdu is indeed empty. If there are more than 5,000 soldiers, Zhuge Liang will definitely not give up this Mianzhu Pass and will defend Chengdu City to the death!"

Meng Huo said nothing.

It seemed that the pain of losing his daughter or the uncontrollable anger and pain made him feel uncontrollable.

"Humph…"

He snorted coldly and was about to speak.

"Report..."

At this time, the barbarians under his command came to report, "Although the people of Mianzhu Pass have evacuated, the houses in the villages have not been emptied. The brothers searched out a lot of food and a letter... It was from Zhuge Liang to the king!"

"No!" Meng Huo waved his hand. "My daughter died in Chengdu, so the whole of Chengdu must be buried with her. In fact, this letter can explain it? Burn the letter, take the food, and continue to Chengdu--"

"Yes…"

As the barbarian agreed, Meng Huo, as always, pinched his waist, stood angrily on the top of the city, staring at the road from Mianzhu Pass to Chengdu.

Cheng Yu narrated: "After Liu Bei entered Shu and conquered Mianzhu, he continued to attack Chengdu. However, he faced two roads, a main road and a small road. Liu Bei took the main road, and his military advisor Pang Tong took the small road. He was eventually ambushed and killed by Zhang Ren's arrows at Luofengpo... I heard that after Liu Bei conquered Chengdu, in order to commemorate Pang Tong, he specially ordered Zhuge Liang to widen the small road and even merge the main road into this small road. Therefore... now to enter Chengdu, you only need to pass the Lutou Mountain... and you can reach Chengdu City!"

At this point, Cheng Yu couldn't help but sigh: "The soldiers under the Barbarian King have already deployed at the border of Chengdu, and they are also full of tigers, leopards and wild beasts... The Barbarian soldiers are so strong and fast that they rushed here so quickly that even the big-eared thief in the Hanzhong battlefield might not have reacted in time!"

Cheng Yu just said this.

Meng Huo clenched his hands into fists, his expression becoming even more ferocious.

"So what if he reacts? Am I, Meng Huo, afraid of him?"

Cheng Yu went on to explain: "What the Barbarian King said is true, but... the Barbarian King is not afraid of this big-eared thief, but even if this big-eared thief reacts immediately, it will be too late to retreat to Chengdu! So, Chengdu City... is a sure thing for the Barbarian King, and it will be captured easily!"

Cheng Yu just said this.

"Report..." Another barbarian came hurriedly, and when he saw Meng Huo, he immediately knelt on one knee and reported: "Your Majesty, there is a scholar in a feather fan and crane robe sitting on the ground at the foot of Luofeng Slope in Lutou Mountain ahead..."

"Scholar?" Meng Huo was stunned.

Cheng Yu asked quickly, "Do you have a flag?"

"Yes!" the barbarian replied quickly, "It says on the flag, General Zhuge Liang, the military advisor of the Han Dynasty!"

what…

what…

Following the barbarian's voice, Cheng Yu and Meng Huo were both shocked.

Even when Cheng Yu opened his mouth to chant the name "Zhuge Liang", he stuttered and subconsciously held his chin.

——『There’s something fishy going on here! 』

Meng Huo heard that Zhuge Liang had come to his doorstep, "Hahahaha..." He laughed, "It's just right that he has come to my doorstep. Pass the order and send troops to that Lutou Mountain immediately!"

"Barbarian King...this Zhuge Liang..." Cheng Yu was about to persuade him.

Meng Huo waved his hand to stop Cheng Yu from saying anything. He suddenly thought of something and continued to order, "Humph, I almost forgot. Quickly have someone prepare a big pot. I want to cook this big man's military advisor alive at the foot of Luofeng Slope on Lutou Mountain to comfort my daughter's spirit in heaven—"

As he spoke, Meng Huo had already walked down the tower with the gait of a dragon and a tiger...

He seemed extremely angry and impatient, as if he wanted to eat Zhuge Liang alive, and he couldn't wait even a moment.

"Huh..." Cheng Yu couldn't help but take a deep breath...

He always feels like something is wrong?
But he couldn't say where exactly.

As for... that big pot, in which Zhuge Liang was cooked alive, why did Cheng Yu suddenly feel a chill down his spine, as if the person who was about to be put into the pot was not Zhuge Liang, but him, Cheng Zhongde!

...

...

A critical moment——

Yes, Huaman was originally amazed at what kind of young man could deal with so many people alone and kill so many of them.

But I haven't remembered to think about it yet.

The enemy's dagger was already coming towards her.

The two of them are getting closer and closer...

"Oops--"

Huaman wanted to move and dodge, but... she didn't have the strength to do so now. She could only watch helplessly as the enemy's dagger stabbed towards her.

At the same time…

And that handsome young man, with a shout of "No", Guan Suo stepped forward, raised the musket in one hand and reached out to grab Zhang Zhuo with the other.

He was determined to save Huaman's life—

The accident happened at this moment.

It turns out that Zhang's attack on Huaman was a feint, and his real target was... Guan Suo.

He suddenly turned around, and while Guan Suo was stepping forward, he stretched out his arm to swing Guan Suo's outstretched arm, then with his other hand he firmly grasped the musket held by Guan Suo, and at the same time kicked him hard.

Guan Suo was kicked in the abdomen. In pain, he loosened his hands involuntarily, and the musket with the "pill" on it was transferred from his hand to Zhang's hand.

Zhang Zhuo pointed his musket at the fallen Guan Suo. "Now, the offense and defense are reversed, hahahahaha——"

This…

Even Guan Suo was unable to react to the sudden change. As expected... any negligence on the battlefield could lead to one's own downfall!
He... is naive!

"Huh..." With an exhalation, Guan Suo raised his head.

Huaman also raised her head. This time she saw Guan Suo's appearance clearly from a close distance. What a graceful young man he was. What a handsome young man with delicate features.

--"who is he?"

——『Why did he save me? 』

Hua Man didn't have time to think about it. She opened her mouth and shouted, "Let...let him go, kill...kill me..."

Yes…

Wasn't the enemy's goal to kill her? Why did they want to harm so many people? Why did they want to implicate so many people?

Barbarian children grew up in that wild land, who feared death? Barbarian children were most afraid of owing favors to others, especially this kind of favor that could not be repaid!

However, Zhang Zhuo ignored Hua Man. In his opinion, this barbarian woman posed no threat. The real threat came from the man in front of him.

"Weren't you very brave just now?"

"Haha, this cylinder is pretty powerful, is this how it's used?"

"Can I blow your head off in one go?"

Zhang Zhuo deliberately touched the mechanism with his fingers. Although it was a little awkward... it felt that the design was not reasonable, and the fingers needed to be stretched long and narrow...

But roughly speaking, he could feel that as long as the mechanism was touched, the "sound" would be emitted, and then a powerful force in the flames would burst out.

"I advise you to put down this weapon honestly--"

Guan Suo propped himself up and climbed up. The kick just now was so powerful that he was now a little unsteady on his feet.

“Hahaha…” Zhang Zhuo laughed, a rampant laugh, “Although I don’t know who you are, you are really amazing. You knocked down six of us by yourself… What a pity, compared to me, you are still a little naive… In your next life, you should be more careful!”

Fearing that things will change if you delay...

Zhang Zhuo directly pulled the trigger.

A "bang" sound came as expected, and the corners of his open mouth were even more raised, and he was still smiling, and his smile was extremely unrestrained.

But...his smile suddenly became stiff.

Because something shocking happened. The end of the musket pointed at Guan Suo did not move, but the end pointed at him, accompanied by a huge "bang", a flame ignited...

And then...and then there will be no more.

The ammunition fired from the musket exploded directly in his face.

Because the distance was too close, more than half of Zhang's head was blown off.

It's like a watermelon that has been chopped by someone, and most of it has fallen to the ground. But even so, the remaining half of the cheek is still unrecognizable.

"Boom!"

With a crisp sound, Zhang's body fell to the ground with a bang.

At this time, Guan Suo, who had been holding his stomach with both hands and looked weak, stood straight. He stepped forward, took back the musket from the horrible corpse, and then said lightly.

"You can't even tell the front from the back, and you're still using a musket?"

At this point, he laughed, and while laughing, he glared at the unrecognizable Zhang, and chanted two words:
"Country bumpkin——"

After the assassination attempt was resolved, Guan Suo seemed to be relieved a lot. He took a deep breath and looked at Hua Man who had already opened her eyes.

Said to open your eyes...

In fact, Huaman's mental strength has reached its limit. After all... this kind of life-and-death game, with life hanging by a thread... is too mentally exhausting.

But she still tried hard to keep her eyes open, she wanted to see the appearance of her benefactor clearly.

The barbarians are rough, but... they are extremely generous!

"You...are you Hua Zhongxiu?"

When he reached Huaman, Guan Suo knelt on one knee on the ground... The good thing about the musket is that it doesn't waste much energy. Even though he killed six people, he still had some strength left.

“Yes… yes…” Huaman also tried to stand up, “Who… who are you? Why did you save me?”

Knowing that the wild girl in front of him was the one he had been looking for, Guan Suo felt liberated and relieved.

"Are you okay?"

"It's okay..."

Guan Suo picked her up and walked out, saying, "There's blood all over this place. Let me take you to another room first..."

This was the first time I was held in the arms of a man, and it was... it was still so intimate, so intimate, and so powerful. He was my benefactor, and... and... he was such a graceful, handsome, and strong man...

Huaman suddenly felt her heart beating like a deer.

No, the barbarian girl was not acting like a deer running around. If she had some strength, she would have pounced on the enemy. How could she let him go?

But now, she wanted to say a lot of things... but when the words came to her lips, she couldn't say anything, she was suffocating...

Guan Suo carried her to the next room, then went back to the killing field and brought Bao Sanniang, Wang Tao, and Wang Yue over one by one.

He was also very surprised, why were they...all here?

Why did they develop some kind of bond with Huaman?

After Guan Suo carried the last woman to the bed in the next room.

He clapped his hands, and it was done...

Just as he was thinking about how to inform the officers and soldiers, suddenly, he smelled a strange smell in his nose.

This smell——

Guan Suo felt somewhat familiar with this! This was exactly his usual method of showing mercy everywhere!

same…

The smell was so strong that Huaman, who had already woken up, quickly fainted again.

——"Why is there a scent? And an enemy?"

Guan Suo subconsciously grabbed a piece of bloody cloth to cover his nose, and then stabbed his fingertips with the tip of the knife. His ten fingers were connected to his heart... He immediately became alert from the pain.

But he pretended that his whole body was like a puddle of mud and he fainted.

…The clinic, which was originally filled with blood and murder, suddenly became silent.

Finally, after a long time.

The sound of footsteps was clear and cautious...

It seemed that only after making sure that everyone here had fainted did the pace slow down and the voices begin to sound.

"Fortunately we were prepared... otherwise... we would have failed because of this kid..."

As the female voice came out.

Another voice sounded, a more mature female voice.

"You promised me that you would only kill that barbarian girl, and let the rest go..."

"But they...well..."

It seemed controversial, but in the end, the young woman compromised.

Guan Suo heard it all clearly...

Even, he would think.

Who are they? Are they the rebels against Wei? Otherwise... why must they kill Hua Man?
As Guan Suo was thinking this, the footsteps of the two women were getting closer.

For a moment, in this narrow room, there were four women lying on the bed, a man lying on the floor, and two more women came in from outside the door... Suddenly, this space seemed a little tight...tight...tight...tight, ah no...it was tense!
...
