"Father!" Kuai Ran looked at his father on the stage in disbelief, and suddenly he laughed, which was a desolate laughter, "Father, father, I have never had a father since I was a child." I begged you father! Father, you asked me to study, I read, and father, you asked me to practice martial arts, and I also practiced! In order to be able to get your father's praise, I danced to the sound of chickens, and fell asleep at night, but I never got anything ! Not even a single smile from you!" Kuai Ran smiled very freely.
"At that time, I was consoling myself. Father, you are a big man. You have many important things to do. Your family and country are in the world. Father, you are worried about this Jingzhou and this big man! But today I found out that I was wrong. I really Wrong, father, what you care about is not me, your uncle, or the family. What you care about is yourself, and what you value is yourself. You are afraid! You are afraid that I will lose your face, you are afraid! You are afraid After I married Yanran, the Kuai family became a joke in Jingzhou. Father, you have changed. In the past, the Kuai family was you, me, uncle, mother and aunt! But now the Kuai family has become a burden, a father, you A burden that can never be taken care of!" Kuai Ran's words were engraved in Kuai Yue's heart, making Kuai Yue's heart bleed. "Father, I'm sorry, I've let you down, I'm sorry, father, I've let you down! I'm sorry, father, I can no longer be filial by your side!" Kuai Ran smiled desolately and knelt down in front of Kuai Yue "Father, this may be the last time I call you!"
"Kuai Ran, do you know what you are doing!" Kuai Yue shouted angrily at Kuai Ran.
"I want to marry Yanran. I don't care if she is a brothel woman or Princess Yanlian. He is all Yanran. He is my Yanran! Father, you always call me stupid. You always think that I can't afford the Kuai family, so father Now you don't need to think about it anymore, from now on I will change my name and surname, and my family and my family will have nothing to do with each other."
"Wow!" There was an uproar below, this Kuai Ran is going to sentence the Kuai family? It is not uncommon for the children of the family to leave the family. Those who leave the family are all on their own, but Kuai Ran is the only heir of the Kuai family. If Kuai Ran leaves the Kuai family. Then the Kuai family would really be destroyed. Once Kuai Yue died, the Kuai family would be wiped out.
"Brother Kuai, why bother!" Liu Mang also stepped forward to stop Kuai Ran, he wanted to be beautiful as an adult, and he also wanted to marry the Kuai family. But I don't want Kuai Ran and Kuai Yue to sever their father-son relationship. Kuai Ran is a frank person. Although Liu Mang hasn't been with him for a long time, he has already regarded him as a friend, if possible. Even if they can't get married, he still wants to do well. "Brother Liu. If I leave Kuai's house and have nowhere to go, can Brother Liu give me a chance to eat?" Kuai Ran smiled bitterly at Liu Mang. He has no choice. If there is a showdown, then he must know that it is impossible for him and Yanran to live in this life, and even from today onwards, the two of them will become separated forever. What about a mere woman!
"As long as I, Liu Mang, have a mouthful, I will definitely not let brother Kuai go hungry!" Seeing the determination in Kuai Ran's eyes, Liu Mang knew that he would never be able to persuade Yan Ran, so he could only say to Yan Ran, "Yan Ran, no, sister , as a brother, I can only bless you! I am happy that you can find such a husband!"
"Yeah!" Although Yanran is wearing a red hijab, she can obviously feel Yanran's excitement. A woman is a person who pleases herself, and you can only get true feelings if you have a heart-to-heart relationship.
"Yanran, let's go!" Kuairan took Yanran's arm and left Kuai's house. Although Kuairan made a lot of determination, but now he is relaxed. It's good, but actually it's very tiring, I can't do many things, I have to worry about this and that, now I can shake off this burden and feel relaxed.
"Kuai Ran, if you leave this house, you will never come back again!" Kuai became more and more ruthless, son, this is his own son, but his own son is persecuting him again and again.
"Hehe! Leave it to you, father, Jingzhou Kuai's family? Dahan Kuai's family? Haha!"
Haha, after hearing Kuai Yue's answer on the stage, the most excited person below is none other than Pang Tong. As long as Kuai Yue cares about the face of Kuai's family, and as long as Kuai Yue doesn't agree, then Liu Mang's marriage will fail. Pang Tong doesn't care about this time. If you offend the Kuai family, even if you offend the Kuai family to death, so what can you do? Similarly, the Kuai family has completely cut off the possibility of friendship with the King of Shu in Yangzhou today.
Pang Tong's current policy is that if he can't get it, he can't let Yangzhou Liu Mang get it! This is a lose-lose strategy.
The Huang family brothers over there also looked like they were watching the show, whether it was the Kuai family or Pang Tong, they had nothing to do with them, just watch the play, this play is really good.
"Brother, you are satisfied!" Kuai Liang also looked at his elder brother with a sneer. , You have changed, you are no longer the big brother who came here!" Kuai Liang said and wanted to leave, but when he thought about it, this was his home.
"Hey!" Kuai Yue sighed, and he smiled wryly in his heart, he was really wrong! From the point of view of a patriarch, he is right, he is from the Kuai family, from the Jingzhou family, a marriage contract of a big family is to make one's family stronger, but if it is from a father, from a brother To say that he was wrong is too outrageous, he is too utilitarian.
"His Royal Highness the King of Shu!" Kuai Yue suddenly seemed to be ten years older.
"Kuai, don't you have something to do!" Liu Mang's attitude towards Kuai Yue also became colder.
Kuai Yue walked up to Liu Mang.
"Kuai, don't drive, what are you doing!" Liu Wei looked at Kuai Yue in front of him and didn't understand, so Kuai Yue fell to his knees in front of Liu Wei with a plop, which made Liu Wei a little confused.
"His Royal Highness the King of Shu, there is a son in Kuai Yue's family who is already weak. He loves His Royal Highness's sister, Princess Yanlian, and doesn't think about food and drink. Kuai Yue wants to get a marriage contract for his son and marry his wife, Princess Yanlian!"
"What!" Liu Mang was at a loss when he heard Kuai Yue's words, proposed? An old man proposes to him, of course it is not affectionate. But Kuai Yue actually proposed to himself for his son.
"Mr. Yidu is right?!" Liu Mang asked uncertainly.
"I'm just such a son!" Kuai Yue replied.
"Mr. Yidu! Princess Yanlian was born in the mud!"
"I'm just such a son!" Kuai Yue replied in the same way.
"Mr. Yidu. Are you sure you are marrying a wife?!" Liu Wei confirmed it even more. Marrying a concubine and marrying a wife are completely different things. The concubine room of the Han Dynasty is better, and the concubine room of the Han Dynasty is just a plaything. The exchange between scholars is like a gift, so cheap, But wife! That's the lady, the hostess, so to speak. One is the master and the other is the thing, you can see the difference.
Once the Kuai family got married, it was truly a marriage.
"I'm just such a son!" Kuai Yue lowered his proud head, he is Kuai Yue, he is the head of the Kuai family, he is the one who made the Kuai family a big family in Jingzhou, and he is also up for sale , can make the Kuai family stand in the whole big man for a hundred years, but he is also a father, he only has one son!
"Father!" Kuai Ran hadn't left yet, and was stunned to hear his old father's words.
"Brother?!" Kuai Liang was also stunned. This is my big brother!
"Kuai Yidu, you can't!" For Liu Mang, it was a pleasant surprise. Well, for Pang Tong, this is nothing less than a disaster. Pang Tong can still struggle to marry a concubine. If it becomes a wife, then no one will believe that the Kuai family has nothing to do with Yangzhou. Son and half daughter, the male is the eldest son of the Kuai family who can inherit the Kuai family, and the female is the little princess of the Kuai family.
"Congratulations, old man, Kuai, don't drive, you are about to marry the princess and come home!" Duke Pang De saw the scene in the field and came to congratulate Kuai Yue.
"Congratulations to Kuai, don't drive away!" The scholars and celebrities below are not fools, are they going to watch Kuai Yue and his son collapse, and finally separate their families? impossible! So I can only sustain this friendship, congratulations to Kuai Yue, to ease Kuai Yue's embarrassment, especially the group of younger brothers behind Kuai's family are more diligent, and the voices of congratulations all praise Kuai Ran and Yan Ran as a match made in heaven up.
"Kuai Yidu!" Cai Mao snorted coldly, his Cai family and the Kuai family both advanced and retreated together, but if Kuai Yue really married Liu Mang this time, then the relationship with the Cai family would be considered to be coming to an end soon. So Cai Mao was very angry.
"De Gui, I only have one son!" Kuai Yue explained everything with the same words.
"Hey!" Cai Mao is not the kind of unreasonable person either. He and Kuai Yue have known each other for so many years, so how could he not know Kuai Yue's difficulties? It was a performance, and the two have been friends since childhood.
"You can do it yourself!" Although Cai Mao was uncomfortable with his friend Kuai Yue and his marriage with Yangzhou, he still stood firm. Mang became hostile.
Cai Mao left, and Cai Mao's younger brothers followed suit.
Pang Degong also cupped his fists towards Kuai Liang Kuai Yue above him, and he was about to leave. Even if the wedding banquet tonight was over, Kuai Yue said that he wanted to marry a wife for his son. According to the matchmaker's words, the parents' orders are very complicated, so today it is impossible.
"Damn it!" Pang Tongtong roared and he could only leave, but Pang Tong wanted to leave but someone refused to let him go.
"Pang Tong Pang Shiyuan, did this king tell you to leave!" Liu Mang looked coldly at Pang Tong Pang Shiyuan who was about to leave.
"What? His Royal Highness the King of Shu is going to commit murder on Liu Jingzhou's territory!" Pang Tong was stopped by Liu Mang, but Pang Tong didn't have it at all. This is Jingzhou, how dare Liu Mang do anything to him!
"Assault!" Liu Mang's eyes narrowed. Pang Tong didn't remind him, he really forgot that killing Pang Tong would surely cause Liu Daer in Yuzhou to break an arm. Liu Daer's current counselor's IQ will sooner or later be destroyed. The threat of keeping Pang Tong in his hands is too great, and killing intent has emerged in Liu Mang's eyes.
"My lord, my lord!" Just when Liu Mang felt murderous, two knives came, and two strong men rushed in from outside the Kuai Mansion. There is no good skin on the face, all are wounds, and looking at it in the dark night makes people feel horrible. While the other one didn't have so many wounds. But it is not much better. If the former one was formed after birth, then the latter one was born ugly.
These two people stood in the doorway like two evil spirits who came out of hell.
Aren't these two people Zhou Cang and Guan Hai who Liu Mang sent to inform them to come and enjoy the feast
To say that Zhou Cang and Guan Hai had a hard time coming, although Liu Mang had informed them a long time ago, there was a traffic jam on this road, and the whole inner city was blocked for some reason, and it was difficult for cars and horses to move. The two of them waited in line for a long time. Only then was he able to walk a little bit, seeing that the gates of the inner city were about to close. In order to reach Kuai Liang's mansion in the outer city in time, the two simply lost the carriage and came directly on foot. Naturally, the walk was not as fast as the carriage, and it was only now that they arrived.
But this time is just catching up.
"Wow, where did the ugly ghost come from! Stand in front of your grandpa Zhou Cang!" Zhou Cang was originally a big trumpet, and he was a man without scheming. He said whatever he thought of, and he was a fool. One of them couldn't help but speak out what was on his mind.
"I'm ugly!" Pang Tong almost died of anger when he heard Zhou Cang's words. Indeed, Pang Tong was a little ugly. A little fatter, a little shorter, and a little darker! But if someone else said what Pang Tong said. Pang Tong is justifiable, after all, he is well-bred, but you are so crooked, Pang Tong has not called him ugly yet, but here he is said to be ugly. Can Pang Tong not be angry!
"Haha!" Liu Mang was delighted to see it in his eyes, this Zhou Cang is a living treasure.
"I said, old man, look at which ugly ghost is uglier than you!" Zhou Cang even compared it, making Pang Tong furious. If it wasn't for the fact that he was not an opponent, he would have stepped forward to fight Zhou Cang. up.
"If His Royal Highness the King of Shu has nothing to do, then Pang Shiyuan will leave!" Pang Tong hugged Liu Mang. The good guy doesn't suffer from the immediate loss. Pang Tong is not a fool, and he will only suffer if he stays now.
"Pang Shiyuan, do you seriously think that I dare not kill you!" Liu Mang didn't tell Pang Tong to leave, and Zhou Cang and Guan Hai naturally blocked Pang Tong like two walls, making it difficult for Pang Tong to move at all.
Liu Mang really wanted to kill, so he killed Pang Tong in the Kuai Mansion. Pang Tong had killed his envoy after learning from Ban Chao. It won't work.
Originally, the biggest shortcoming of Liu Paopao's army was the lack of a top military adviser, so Liu Paopao was in his 40s and was still wandering around. He was driven from the Central Plains to Hebei, and then back to the Central Plains. , Xuzhou, which got Tao Qianrang, was also occupied by Liu Mang's cheap father-in-law, Lu Bu. Although he snatched it back later, his ass was not hot yet, and he was beaten away by Lao Cao. And Zhang Xiu, I'm afraid Liu Bei still doesn't know where to drink the northwest wind!
If Liu Mang kills Liu Mang, the top strategist Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan here, and slaughters this little turkey, then more than half of Liu Bei's threat will be removed, which is better than killing Liu Bei's white-eared heavy armor!
"Not good!" Seeing Liu Mang's squinted eyes, Pang Tong is also a person who has been on the battlefield, how could he not feel Liu Mang's killing intent, this Liu Mang really has murderous intentions.
"Who dares to hurt my military division!" Several subordinates brought by Pang Tong also gathered around Pang Tong, looking around vigilantly.
Liu Mang smiled disdainfully at the group of Pang Tong's loyal defenders. If Liu Mang was alone, these few miscellaneous fish might be able to stop him and let Pang Tong escape for his life, but now Liu Mang has two men. The door gods Guan Hai and Zhou Cang were both there, so just a few miscellaneous fish were not taken seriously at all.
You must know that the current Guan Hai is the one who can fight with that gangster Zhang Fei. The two are evenly matched, and in the end both lose.
As for Zhou Cang, even though he was not as good as Guan Hai, he couldn't find out where to go. Even Liu Mang couldn't win Zhou Cang himself.
"Liu Mang, if you killed me, you are not afraid that Liu Jingzhou will punish you!" Pang Tong shouted loudly, trying to make Liu Mang retreat.
"Haha!" Liu Mang showed a disdainful smile on the corner of his mouth. It is this kind of disdainful smile that makes Pang Tong the most unhappy, and it is also for this reason that Pang Tong confronts Liu Mang again and again, because what Pang Tong hates the most is that others look down on him. he.
"Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan, you are also known as Fengchu after all. How can you even speak such mentally retarded words!" Liu Mang sneered. Pang Tong's words now are like two children fighting. One couldn't fight and said to the other, I want to go back and tell my mother! What did Liu Biao say when Pang Tong killed the envoy sent by Liu Mang? He could only admit it while pinching his nose, he had already offended Liu Mang, and he didn't dare to offend Liu Bei anymore.
"Huh?!" Pang Tong did not answer Liu Mang's words immediately, but observed the surroundings. This little turkey is not a fool. He has seen that Liu Mang really has murderous intentions. Kill him and he can't escape. Now I'm starting to think about where to escape.
"Hehe! Little turkey, didn't you kill my emissary? Didn't you plant and frame me? Why can't I do anything now!" Liu Mang approached Pang Tong step by step.
Pang Tong watched Liu Mang's arrival, his eyes froze.
"Why do you want to play catch the thief first and catch the king first?!" Liu Mang seemed to see through Pang Tong at a glance, "Then you come! I'm here! Come and catch me, you caught me, maybe today you can You escaped!" Liu Mang said jokingly as he was tempting Pang Tong.
"Liu Mang, Liu Hanyang, don't deceive others too much!" Pang Tong looked at Liu Mang firmly and said, take Liu Mang? If Zhang Fei was still by Pang Tong's side now, Pang Tong would do this, but Zhang Fei is not recovering from his injuries yet! How could Pang Tong win Liu Mang.
You must know that Liu Mang's martial arts is also a second-rate peak figure. In Zhang Fei's hands, it can go on dozens of rounds, but now in Pang Tong's hands, how can he catch a dozen miscellaneous fish.
"Too much bullying? I'll bully you today! What can you do! I'll tell you little turkey. Today I will not only bully you, but also kill you!" Liu Mang raised his hand, behind Zhou Cang and Guan Hai also nodded, once Liu Mang's arm fell, the two of them would rush directly into Pang Tong's crowd and start fighting. With their two forces, Pang Tong and none of his subordinates could escape.
Pang Tong's forehead was covered with cold sweat, he was careless, this time he ran into Liu Mang's hands, and was not decisive when he left, so he was left behind.
"First of all, I want to thank you for your four thousand gold! Maybe I have enough money to buy food and grass!" Liu Mang's teasing words reached the point of "Kill!" Before Liu Mang's words of "kill" came out, there was a sudden call from outside the gate of Kuai Mansion. There was an old voice.
"His Royal Highness, keep people under the knife, keep people under the knife!"
"Huh!?!" Liu Mang frowned, who is this? Guan Hai and Zhou Cang were about to rush in without hesitation, but when Liu Mang saw who was coming, he still stopped Kailai.
The person who came was none other than Pang Degong, uncle of Pang Tong, the old man of the Pang family who had gone and returned.
"Why did Mr. Pang come here?" Liu Mang asked knowingly.
"I'm here for this unfilial nephew!" Mr. Pang De is a man of high self-cultivation. There are swords and arrows raining here, but Mr. Pang De still walked in with a cane and a smile.
"Uncle?!" Pang Tong looked at his uncle who had gone and returned.
"I hope that His Royal Highness the King of Shu can spare the life of this unfilial nephew!"
"Mr. Pang, do you know that this nephew of yours almost killed me!" Liu Mang didn't just let Pang Tong go just because of Mr. Pang De's words.
"That's why I came here personally to beg His Royal Highness the King of Shu to spare his life!" Duke Pang De still had that smiling expression on his face.
"Reason!" Liu Mang admired Mr. Pang De, because Mr. Pang De could be regarded as a highly respected person. Liu Mang also inquired. This Mr. Pang De established the Lumen Academy, which could make the Pang family surpass the Kuai family and the Cai family, and even compete with the lord of Jingzhou. Liu Biao is equal, but he does not have such big ambitions, he is impartial, and he is also willing to do good and teach others how to behave! Loyalty is rare in troubled times, but loyalty is valued more.
But admiration is all admiration, Liu Mang will not take Pang Tong's life because of Pang Degong's face, because this Pang Tong is a poisonous snake, if you don't kill him, he may spit out a snake letter to poison you to death at any time.
"I don't know, does it count if Lumen Academy is not an enemy of His Highness the King of Shu?" Pang Degong said with a smile,
Deer Gate Academy? Liu Mang frowned when he heard the name. To be honest, Liu Mang of the Pang family could not care, because the first wealth of the Pang family was not as rich as that of the Cai family and the Kuai family, and he was not a senior executive in Jingzhou. Characters, there is no power in the army, the Pang family can become a family because everyone gave face, it is because Pang Degong founded the Lumen Academy, because everyone in the Lumen Academy gave the Pang family face! Lumen Academy is not just in Jingzhou. That can be regarded as having disciples all over the world. No matter in Hebei or Xudu. There are even children from Lumen Academy in Jiangdong.
Lumen Academy and Yingchuan Academy were the two largest academies in Dahan. After the Huang Family Rebellion, many people from Yingchuan Academy came to Jingzhou and merged with Lumen Academy. You can see the power of Lumen Academy!
"Mr. Pang, you are threatening me!" Liu Mang narrowed his eyes. Mr. Pang De is already considered a threat. If the entire Lumen Academy is against Liu Mang, Liu Mang will really feel uncomfortable. Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Shi Tao and even Xu Shu They can all be regarded as people from Lumen Academy, if you add Yingchuan Academy. Then people like Guo Jia are also enemies of Liu Mang, and it can even be said that as long as they are officials, they basically have enemies with Liu Mang.
Although these people are not under the orders of Lumen Academy, they will give the face of the old dean Pang Degong. Even if they are not against Liu Mang directly, Liu Mang will not be able to bear it from the side.
"Don't dare, dare not!" Pang Degong said quickly that Pang Degong is selfless, even now he will not offend Liu Mang, and he will not favor anyone, "If His Royal Highness King Shu can let the old man, this unfilial nephew! Lumen Academy will not embarrass His Royal Highness Shu Wang in the slightest!" Pang Degong can be regarded as sincere.
"Big event!" Liu Mang's eyes narrowed. The major event for Liu Mang to come to Jingzhou is naturally to buy and sell grain and grass. After getting Mr. Pang De's words, it can be said that Liu Mang's trilemma in Jingzhou has been resolved. , Jingzhou's trip to grain and grass tribulations. They are the Kuai family, the Cai family and the Lumen Academy.
Today's marriage of the Kuai family has already tied the Kuai family to the chariot of Yangzhou. No matter how unwilling Kuai Yue is to be neutral again, he needs to speak well for Liu Mang's Yangzhou. Cai family! Liu Mang hasn't started yet! This Lumen Academy is also a huge problem, because of Lord Pound’s prestige, if Lord Pang De speaks out, even if Liu Biao agrees to sell grain and grass to Yangzhou, Liu Mang may not be able to get food and grass, because Lord Pang De has too many disciples and grandchildren. , If you get stuck here and make things difficult for you, then it will be a year of the monkey to transport the grain and grass to Yangzhou.
So Mr. Pang De is also a very big problem, but what Mr. Pang De said now is not what Liu Mang always wanted, that is, Lumen Academy will not be an enemy of Liu Mang. As long as Liu Biao is willing to sell grain and grass, Lumen Academy will absolutely block it.
"Mr. Pang is serious?!" It was so easy to find nowhere to go, Liu Mang was still thinking about how to build a good relationship with Mr. Pang De, because Mr. Pang De's son was so angry that Liu Mang vomited blood Come on, I beat my son and want to ask my father for help! But because of this Pang Tong's thing was done.
"Although I am old, I still know how to write the word "Xinyi!" Pang Degong said with the same smile from that year.
"Uncle, you can't do this?!" Pang Tong wanted to stop it.
"Mr. Pang, your nephew is not willing!" Liu Wei is also in a dilemma. Although Mr. Pang De's conditions are good, if Liu Wei kills Pang Tong, it can be said that there is no big obstacle in front of him. Liu Beijun It's not worth talking about.
"I just ask His Highness if you agree or not! The millions of people in Yangzhou!" Pang Degong sighed. If the millions of people in Yangzhou have no food and grass, they will be really hungry and will die.
"Hmm!" Pang Degong's words were actually reminding Liu Mang, do you want to kill Pang Tong or Yangzhou? Killing Pang Tong is certainly not a concern for Liu Bei's army, but you are also finished in Yangzhou, and both sides will suffer!
"Then this king will hand over Pang Tong to Duke Pang, I hope Duke Pang can teach him well!" Liu Mang clasped his fists at Duke Pang De.
"Hmph!" Pang Tong snorted coldly, his life was saved, but he was still full of hatred for Liu Mang.
"If you're so old, I'll leave!" Mr. Pound nodded and was about to leave.
"Slow!" Liu Mang stopped suddenly.
"What's the matter, His Royal Highness, you want to break your promise and get fat!" Pang Tong sarcastically said. "I'm standing here and you're going to kill me!" Pang Tong was very rampant, Liu Mang, who had his uncle to protect him, really didn't dare to kill him for the sake of the people of Yangzhou.
"It's impossible to break your promise and gain weight"
"Then why stop me waiting!"
"I gave Pang Gong face! But that's just forgiving you! Why did you ever say that you bypassed them!" Liu Mang said, looking at Pang Tong's subordinates very indifferently.
"Liu Hanyang, how dare you!" Pang Tong glared angrily.
"Huh!" Liu Mang was very disdainful towards Pang Tong, "Zhou Cang, Guan Hai, these people have taught you~! What crimes should be done for treason against the king!"
"Of course it's killing!" Guan Hai let out a roar, and rushed up directly.
"Military division, save me, save me!" There was blood and rain in the whole scene, Pang Tong glared, his teeth were about to be bitten off, but Pang Degong still had that smiling expression! It seems that none of this happened!
