If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 74: It's over. Everyone in the world knows Guan Yu.
"Aren't you going to send Guan Huchen's remains back to Yingxiang Mansion? Why are you back?"

When Song Changqing saw Xiaoyu and Guan Zhong again, he was very confused.

Guan Zhong glared and scolded: "You have followed the master all your life and have received countless favors from the Guan family. Now that the master has just been in trouble, you call him by his name. You are such an ungrateful ungrateful person!"

Song Changqing said coldly: "How much 'favor' the Guan family has given me, you can go ask Guan Huchen and Guan Wenlong, but do you dare to ask?"

"Oh, that's enough. My godfather may not die. Don't worry."

Xiao Yu lowered her voice and reminded, "There are a lot of people watching us!"

She was actually very curious about the grievances between Song Changqing and the Guan family.

There must be a very interesting story between them.

But Guan Huchen didn't say anything - she once asked him, and he had a gloomy expression and a cold tone, telling her not to ask around - when Song Changqing touched on this topic, she also became a mute person with her mouth cut off.

Looking around, he saw that many people were looking at him in confusion. Song Changqing closed his mouth again and said nothing.

Wei Wu, who was standing next to him, asked in surprise, "Miss Yu, what do you mean when you said that General Guan might not die?"

Before returning to Hualong Pass, Xiaoyu discussed it with Guan Zhong.

In order to make it easier for Hu Chen to "come back from the dead" later and avoid surprising the world, we can give everyone a shot of prevention before the news of the death of the "Great Shu Cavalry Commander" spreads.

In front of Marquis Lieyang, Hu Chen is nothing.

But in Shu Kingdom, the "Fairy Eye Tiger" is also very famous.

Moreover, Hu Chen was the commander of the Luye Guard Cavalry, so the news of his death should have been published in the official newspaper and passed all the way to the King of Shu in Luodu. By then, Hu Chen's death was basically known to everyone in the world.

As a result, a few days later, Hu Chen walked out of Guan Mansion as if nothing had happened. How to explain it?

The City God cheated for personal gain and used his divine power to change the fate of his descendants. The impact of doing it secretly and having it explored and discussed by the whole world would definitely be different.

Guan Zhong said seriously, "The master has passed away. He seems to have stopped breathing, but his heart is still a little warm. Yes, this is the Guan family's secret life-saving technique."

——So don’t keep asking about any secret techniques.

"Now Chi Yanju has taken the master to Yingxiang Mansion. It just so happens that my Guan Mansion still has a box of Huawuxiang purchased from a merchant from Boyi Country." Guan Zhong continued.

At first, Xiao Yu suggested that "the Guan family has hidden a magic pill that can bring the dead back to life", but was rejected by Guan Zhong.

The magical elixir that can bring the dead back to life is so exaggerated that it is almost an elixir of life.

Not to mention the Guan Mansion, there is no magic medicine that can bring people back to life in the Shu King’s treasury in Luodu.

After all, Xiaoyu doesn't understand the world as well as Guan Zhong.

He immediately gave a very reasonable reason: Hua Wuxiang.

Huawuxiang is produced in the overseas country of Pogo. It is a magical spice. When it soaks the ground, all the soil and stones become fragrant; when it falls on rotten wood and grass, they become green again and bloom again; when it is used to diffuse the fragrance on dry bones, the muscles will grow new.

Xiaoyu thinks this is the "magic pill".

But Guan Zhong said that they really had a box of Huawuxiang in their Guan Mansion.

If you dip a little bit of it on jade, it will emit a long-lasting and intoxicating fragrance; if you dip a little bit of it on a dead branch, it will indeed have the effect of rejuvenation. As for whether it can sprout and bloom, Guan Fu has never tried it, as it would be such a waste of spices.

Fumigating wounds with incense can indeed speed up recovery, but the idea that fumigating withered bones can lead to new muscles is really an exaggeration.

The simple-minded Hua Wuxiang could not save Hu Chen at all.

But Huawuxiang is very famous but very rare, so this lie is difficult to expose.

Those who have witnessed Hu Chen's injuries and have not come into contact with Hua Wuxiang, as well as those who own Hua Wuxiang, still dare not assert that Hua Wuxiang cannot save Hu Chen, because quantitative changes can lead to qualitative changes.

Just like there is a box of Huawuxiang in the Guan Mansion, it is still uncertain whether the legend of rotten wood sprouting is true.

To verify the legend, a large amount of Huawuxiang is needed, and even one box may not be enough.

"So it's Hua Wuxiang. Maybe we can really give it a try."

When he heard that the Guan Mansion had hidden a box of Huawuxiang, Wei Wu, the skilled military doctor, immediately dispelled most of his doubts.

"Even if General Guan is not necessarily dead, you shouldn't come back!"

As Wei Wu spoke, he glanced at Sima Cai who was directing the soldiers to set up camp in the distance.

Xiaoyu understood what he meant, but she only felt contempt in her heart, without any comfort or gratitude.

When facing a dead tiger minister before, this guy showed no respect at all, and even grumbled and was reluctant to carry the corpse.

Now, as soon as he heard that Hu Chen had a chance to survive, he immediately raised his loyalty to 80 points and even dared to "betray" the nobleman in public.

"For my adoptive father, for the Great Qin, for the king of Western Shu and the people, I killed Kong Zan, but Kong Zan's accomplices are still alive." Xiao Yu said calmly and calmly.

Wei Wu's expression froze, and the way he looked at her changed a little.

Before there was a little bit of awe and flattery, but now the awe has increased to three points, and the other seven points are all vigilance.

After saying a few more words casually, he said goodbye in a hurry and left.

Song Changqing, on the other hand, looked at her with some worry in his eyes, "Miss Yu, I'm afraid you will have a harder time in the days ahead.

I will come and wake you up every day, but the Fire Crow Army breaks camp early and sets up camp late, and they have to walk hundreds of miles a day, which is more tiring than General Guan's day when he rushed from Hengsha Pass to Feixian Ferry."

"Hey, I'm not a delicate and delicate young lady." Xiaoyu said nonchalantly.

"Alas, marching and fighting is indeed not something a boudoir lady like me can endure."

In just one day, Xiaoyu turned from a proud little hen with her head held high into a defeated bald old rooster.

She is a barbarian, but now she sincerely feels that the people of China are the real barbarians.

The ideas of civilization and etiquette are more barbaric than those of barbarians.

It took Hu Chen a day and a half to walk from Hengsha Pass to Feixiandu, a distance of two or three hundred miles.

The Fire Crow Army traveled more than three hundred miles in just one morning.

Those huge Qin giants, who were 15 or 16 feet tall, had no war horses and ran on their own two legs.

They were not empty-handed, some were carrying large banners, or holding spears and swords. Of course, the Fire Crow Army was cheating, they actually marched in the formation of three thousand Fire Crows.

Like a fire dragon, it was winding and rushing across the ground.

Now that she had left the army, even with the eight thousand-mile horses purchased by Guan Zhong rotating constantly, she was still as tired as a dog.

It's not just her.

Guan Zhong was also listless, with disheveled clothes and hair, and covered in dust, like a tired ghost who had escaped from hell.

There were no cement roads in ancient times, and driving on loess roads would create a lot of dust.

In the morning, Xiaoyu was just like him, with sweat and dust on his face. After running for half a day, his cheeks and neck were covered with a thick layer of mud, which weighed at least half a pound.

Fortunately, after entering the customs, there were many more villages and taverns on the roadside. She bought a veil hat and wore it on her head. It was an extended version, which could be called a "cone hat". The black veil not only covered her face, but also most of her body and back.

"Has the Fire Crow Army always marched at this furious speed?"

The Fire Crow Army was an organic life form after all, and they finally stopped in the evening, outside a county town called "Jiming Town".

Marquis Lieyang and the Fire Crow Army camped outside the city, while Xiaoyu and Guan Zhong stayed in the most luxurious inn in the city.

Guan Zhong first gulped down a bellyful of cold tea, then wiped his mouth and said, “When we were hunting down the rebels from the thirty-six countries, it was even faster than it is now.

They even fought day and night, covering 2,000 miles in two days and one night, directly cutting the 200,000-strong "Chengguang Army" of Lu into countless pieces.

The Chengguang Army of Lu State is similar to the Luye Guards of Western Shu State, and both are the most elite troops in the kingdom.

After the 200,000-man Chengguang army was destroyed, the newly formed 500,000-man Lu army surrendered directly, but was killed by Marquis Lieyang. "

"I've always heard that the Qin cavalry crushed the million-strong army of the Thirty-Six Kingdoms. How many soldiers are there in the Qin cavalry? How many soldiers are needed to cut off the 200,000-man Guang army?"

Xiaoyu didn't drink the herbal tea. She held a green melon and bit it until her face was covered with juice.

"The only remaining Qin cavalry you see now are all in the current Fire Crow Army."

Xiao Yu was surprised and asked, "Just those hundred or so Great Qin 'Juyong'?"

Guan Zhong also took a melon from the basket and said as he ate it, "When we crossed the Quicksand River, there were more than a hundred of us, but a full two hundred and fifty!
Many Qin warriors died in the continuous battles in the past few months.

Of course, it would be impossible to defeat the million-strong coalition army with only two hundred and fifty Qin warriors.

Our Shu Kingdom has also deployed tens of thousands of elite Luye troops.

Miss, you have personally experienced the power of the Three Thousand Fire Crows Formation.

Only a few hundred people are able to kill human immortals. How terrifying would it be if the power of tens of thousands of people were combined?
I guess the reason why the Eight Immortals of the West chose Feixiandu as the assassination location is because Feixiandu has a narrow terrain, and Marquis Lieyang cannot bring too many troops and it is difficult to deploy a battle formation. "

The tactic of the Eight Immortals of the West is indeed to try their best to clip the wings of Marquis Lieyang.

Whether it was the flag gate escape formation or the flood that rushed the camp, they were not directly aimed at Marquis Lieyang himself, but to kill and injure the soldiers of the Fire Crow Army.

The fewer soldiers there are in the Fire Crow Army, the weaker the fighting power of Marquis Lieyang will be in theory.

In the end, the Eight Immortals were clearly defeated, but when they saw Marquis Lieyang riding alone, the hidden assassin couldn't help himself and took action, losing his life.

This is also the magnanimity of Marquis Lieyang.

He thought the Eight Immortals were only appetizers, so he deliberately used himself as bait to lure the big fish into the net.

"Excuse me, is Miss Yu here? I am Wang Rengui, the Magistrate of Jiming County, and I am here to pay a visit to Miss Guan Yu and Mr. Guan Zhong."

Guan Zhong had eaten half of the melon. Xiaoyu was just about to pick up the third melon when there were sudden sounds of heavy footsteps approaching outside the door, followed by the enthusiastic shouts of a middle-aged man.

"What does the county magistrate want to see us for? Uncle Zhong, is he looking for you?"

Xiaoyu was surprised.

The Guan family is a noble and aristocratic family, but she is just an adopted daughter and Guan Zhong is the housekeeper of the second master. Is it worthy for the county magistrate to visit her in person?

"Miss, please don't go out yet. I'll go take a look."

Although Miss Yu is just a cheap adopted daughter, she is still a lady of the Guan family after all.

How could a young lady from an aristocratic family easily go out to meet a man from another family when his purpose was unclear?

Well, Miss Yu rode her horse all day long today, and everyone passing by saw her.

Even though the county lord had come in person, Guan Zhong first slowly ate the melon, then wiped his hands and washed his face. After a while, he finally opened the front door and apologized repeatedly, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. I'm covered in dust and it's not easy for me to come out to receive you if I don't wash myself clean."

"It is Wang's fault for disturbing Miss Yu and Manager Guan."

"Don't bother me, don't bother me. I just arrived in the county and should have gone to your house to pay you a visit. I am being rude."

Guan Zhong was very polite in his words and even called himself a "villain", but his expression and movements were calm and graceful. On the contrary, County Magistrate Wang was a little restrained.

After chatting for a while at the door, Guan Zhong led County Magistrate Wang into the hall, made him sit in the seat of honor, and served him tea and fruits. He chatted for a while more before getting down to business.

County Magistrate Wang said, "I am here to invite Miss Yu and Guan to live in the county government office. I have already asked the chef of Yayuanlou to prepare a top-notch banquet."

Guan Zhong was a little surprised. Although the Guan family’s signboard was useful, it was far from this level.

After all, he is not Hu Chen himself.

As for Miss Yu.
Even if it was the eldest daughter of the Guan family, Miss Tianfeng, when she encountered troubles, at most she would seek help from the local county magistrate, and the county magistrate would give her a little help, but she would never take the initiative to visit her and prepare guest rooms and banquets in advance.

"Sir Wang, my lady and I are not officials, so there is no need to trouble you!" Guan Zhong left his seat and bowed to Magistrate Wang.

No matter what County Magistrate Wang's purpose was, when others showed him high-level courtesy, he had to express his gratitude and return the favor.

County Magistrate Wang was not stupid either, he said with a smile: "Miss Yu killed the Flag Hunting Immortal Kong Zan, and also crippled the 'Bo Yue San Ren' Zhou Lang, and helped Shang Bang Lie Yang Hou defeat the Eight Immortals of the West. She is now famous throughout the world and deserves everyone's respect and worship.

What's more, Kong Zan and Zhou Lang are both enemies of our Great Shu.

"Ms. Yu has beheaded him and deposed him, which is an unprecedented contribution to the Kingdom of Shu. As an official of Shu, how can I not receive him with great hospitality?"

Guan Zhong was not flattered at all. Instead, his heart was chilled. He murmured, "It's only been a day, and the fact that Miss Yu killed Kong Zan is already known to the world?"

Xiaoyu, who was watching from the side room, also felt a little nervous: Which bastard is using me as a target? !
