Shuhan

The atmosphere in General Wancheng's mansion is very relaxing.

The severe cold in winter is firmly blocked by the thick walls and doors. Only a few strands of cold wind occasionally penetrate through the cracks in the windows, gently fluttering the heavy hanging curtains.

Inside the house, the charcoal fire in the brazier was burning brightly, making a slight crackling sound, accompanied by the sound of shochu simmering on the charcoal fire, which was warm and comfortable.

Snowflakes were falling from the sky outside the window, like silver butterflies dancing in the air, landing on the window lattice, and quietly melting into water droplets.

Guan Yu was sitting next to the fire pot. His face had been carved into deep ravines by the years, like ancient rocks that had experienced wind and frost, but he still couldn't hide his majestic aura.

The pair of red and phoenix eyes, although slightly cloudy, are still as sharp as knives.

Guan Yu was wearing a mink fur. The mink fur was smooth and oily, and trembled slightly with his movements, like a dormant beast.

He held a volume of "Spring and Autumn" in his hand. The pages had been turned yellow and the edges were frayed, showing that the owner had read it frequently.

After all, Mr. Guan Er also studied Spring and Autumn Period, not pornographic books.

Opposite Guan Yu, sitting in a Confucian robe is Xu Shu.

Xu Shu's face was pale, and his eyes revealed wisdom and calmness.

A chess game was going on between the two of them.

Guan Yu stroked his beard and smiled, saying: "Yuan Zhi, if you look at this situation, can our chariots, horses and artillery break through your defense line?"

Xu Shu smiled calmly and responded: "Yun Chang, although your offensive is fierce, my position is not in chaos. Let's wait and see how this situation will change. We still don't know."

When Guan Yu heard this, he nodded slightly and tapped the chess piece on the chessboard, making a crisp sound, as if he was thinking.

At this moment, a one-eyed steward outside the room announced the news under the snow.

"General, Nanyang Prefect Zong Ziqing wants to see you!"

Zong Ziqing made a lot of contributions after joining the Han Dynasty. Now he has been promoted to the post of Nanyang Prefect. If he goes up, he can be transferred to the central government and become the Jiuqing, or even a higher official position.

"When Ziqing is here, please invite him in!"

Guan Yu waved his hand. He had some impression of Zong Ziqing. He was a somewhat capable person and a prince, so he had to give him some face.

of course
If this person is a fool, let alone the prince, even if he is the emperor's eldest brother, he will not give him any face!

He, Guan Yu, could come sideways in Han Dynasty!

"Bring him up!"

Guan Yu said softly, his gaze did not change, and his eyes were still on the chess game.

"promise!"

The one-eyed steward was an old pawn who had followed Guan Yu for decades. After he became physically disabled and old and frail, he was pulled by Guan Yu to join the general's mansion and become a steward.

Being able to accompany the general, the one-eyed steward is only grateful!
Soon.

Zong Ziqing, dressed in mourning clothes, walked in with a sad expression.

Guan Yu frowned slightly when he saw Zong Ziqing's appearance.

"Could it be that someone in the family has passed away? Why is Ziqing wearing linen and paying filial piety?"

There were tears in Zong Ziqing's eyes, and he choked and said, "Your father has passed away."

Your father passed away?
Guan Yu was stunned for a moment, then reacted directly.

The so-called king and father, can you say that?
Suddenly, like a bolt from the blue, Guan Yu was awakened from his deep thoughts.

The chess piece in his hand dropped and the crisp sound echoed in the silent room, but it seemed unable to break the heavy pressure on his heart. Guan Yu's face instantly turned pale, and his thick beard was trembling slightly.

"Father Jun passed away? This must be false news, but?"

There was an incredible light in his eyes.

Finally, he even looked at Zong Ziqing with pleading eyes.

He hoped the news was false, or that he was just having a nightmare and everything would be normal when he woke up.

"General, this is a document sent from Chang'an, as well as His Majesty's enthronement edict, as well as officials' transfer and promotion documents, and the edict of amnesty to the world."

As soon as Zong Ziqing finished speaking.

The cruel reality was ruthlessly placed in front of him, and Guan Yu had to accept this heartbreaking news.

His eyes gradually became hollow, tears welling up in his eyes, but they never fell. On his long beard, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, as if he was trying to suppress the sadness that was about to come out.

Gollum~
Guan Yu swallowed dryly and suppressed the sadness in his heart.

"I feel unwell, thank you for visiting me today!"

After saying that, Guan Yu stumbled towards the room. Not long after, a heartbreaking cry came from the inner room.

Outside the room, Xu Shu also burst into tears when he heard the news of Liu Bei's death.

"Your Majesty, he takes it seriously."

Zong Ziqing nodded and said: "His Majesty passed away and His Majesty ascended the throne. It is absolutely true. Guanzhong has also been pacified by Your Majesty."

Thinking of everything he had with Liu Bei, Xu Shu felt extremely sad.

"Now that your Majesty has gone, we can only carry your Majesty's ambition to assist the new monarch, revive the Han Dynasty, and unify the world!"

After wiping the tears on his face, Xu Shu looked at the room where Guan Yu was with some worry.

"The general and your majesty are brothers, and they are people who value love and justice. I'm afraid that I heard this news suddenly."

"Brother--!" Guan Yu cried and screamed, bursting into tears, "You are the hero of the world, the pillar of the Han Dynasty, and the best friend of Yun Changzhi! In the past, we were sworn brothers in Taoyuan, vowing to live and die together and never leave, but now you have gone before me. Go and tell me how not to feel sad and how not to feel pain!"

He beat his chest and feet, with tears streaming down his face, and continued to shout: "I remember when the three of us started fighting together, we went through a lot of hardships and became the great man we are today. The world admires your kindness and virtue; your wisdom and bravery are unparalleled in the world." Although Yunchang is not talented, he has always followed the Duke and pledged his loyalty to him to the death. How can Yunchang live alone in this world for a hundred years? "

Bang~
The sound of equipment falling to the ground came from the room. Xu Shu was horrified when he heard the sound.

Could it be that Yun Chang wanted to kill himself and follow the late emperor?
"Yun Chang, don't be impulsive!"

Xu Shu immediately put away his Confucian robe and rushed toward the room where Guan Yu was.

bang~
One kick actually kicked the closed door open, and even kicked a door flying.

Xu Shu was not a feckless scholar like that of later generations. He was a Confucian scholar who traveled the world with a sword!
Ordinary people can't even walk back and forth under his hands!
In the room, Guan Yu, holding a sword in his hand, was very confused, but when he saw his ugly image being seen, he quickly wiped his tears with his sleeves and pretended to be fine and said, "What are you doing, military advisor?" "

"Yun Chang, don't be impulsive. Even though Your Majesty is gone, we should inherit His Majesty's ambition and revive the Han Dynasty, instead of killing ourselves here and following the late Emperor. This is a cowardly act!"

"When is So-and-so going to kill himself?"

Guan Yu sneered and said: "My eldest brother is gone, Yun Chang is naturally heartbroken, but how does it look like when a general dies on the battlefield and commits suicide here?"

Clang~!

Guan Yu pulled out his sword from its sheath and said in a painful voice: "Now I want to draw my sword and kill Wei Gou in order to sacrifice my elder brother's spirit in heaven!" (End of Chapter)
