Chapter 563: Women are not allowed to stay in college
Because of Guan Xing's well-intentioned reminder, the meal was not very pleasant and ended not long afterward.
Afterwards, Guan Xing didn't rest. Instead, he went to Zhuge Jin to complete the handover, handing over the follow-up tasks of building the city to Zhuge Jin in preparation for other work.
The first thing to do is to send the Japanese envoys away and make them go back to Japan to mine for themselves as soon as possible, instead of staying in Jiangling City and eating and drinking all day.
After signing the huge IOU with the dog, Furutakawa, he ran to report to Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang. When he arrived at the royal tent, he found Guan Yu, Zhang Zhao, Shi Xie and others there. After bowing to them and explaining the situation, he handed over the IOU and said, "Your Majesty, the trade with Japan has been settled. Please take a look."
Knowing the inside story, Liu Bei pretended not to know and carefully examined it several times before handing it to the others, saying with a smile, "That's right, we can't do a losing business. Since Japan is willing to offer gold and silver, let's offer more. You can take full responsibility for this matter and don't need to report everything."
"Now that the new dynasty has been established and everything is renewed, the land reform in Jingzhou should also be put on the agenda. Mi Zhu, the Ministry of Revenue will be fully responsible for the land reform. Several officials with rich experience in land reform, such as Xie Chong, Cheng Li, and Wang Bin, have all been transferred to the Ministry of Revenue. You should ask them for their opinions."
Besides the Minister, the Six Ministries also have other assistant officials such as Vice Ministers and Principals. Most of the officials promoted by Guan Xing in Jiangdong were transferred back to Jingzhou this time, either to be incorporated into the Six Ministries or sent to various counties in southern Jingzhou to serve as county magistrates and prefects.
Liu Bei's purpose in doing this was simple: he wanted them to continue working using the advanced systems they had learned from Guan Xing.
After chatting for about half an hour, everyone bowed and took their leave. Guan Xing also mingled at the back of the crowd and left the royal tent. Unexpectedly, he hadn't gone far when he saw Guan Yinping standing in the distance, dressed in military uniform and holding a Green Dragon Crescent Blade, with a serious expression like a general about to charge into battle.
Guan Xing realized something upon seeing this and moved his feet back, preparing to retreat to the royal tent for temporary refuge. Unfortunately, his movements did not escape Guan Yinping's notice, and Guan Yinping angrily roared, "Guan Anguo, you stop right there!"
Guan Xing suddenly stopped in his tracks, while Guan Yu, Zhuge Liang, and the others instinctively turned around and looked at Guan Xing with curiosity.
What did this kid do to anger Guan Yinping so much that she came to block the door with her Green Dragon Crescent Blade?
While they were still wondering, Guan Yinping came before them, bowed, and greeted the elders.
Guan Yu reached out his hand unhappily and said, "What are you doing with my knife? Give it back to me."
He wouldn't bring his Green Dragon Crescent Blade when he came to see Liu Bei; the blade usually sits untouched at home, but now...
Guan Yinping pulled the knife back into her bosom and said, "I'll lend you the knife for now, and I'll return it to you later."
After speaking, she walked past the elders and approached Guan Xing. Guan Xing raised his hand and stepped back, saying, "Yinping, calm down. Let's talk this out."
Seeing him like this, Guan Yinping finally couldn't hold back anymore. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she shouted in a sobbing voice, "Guan Anguo, you bastard, I'll kill you!"
After saying that, she swung her Green Dragon Crescent Blade at Guan Xing. The Green Dragon Crescent Blade, which weighed dozens of kilograms and was difficult for Guan Xing to wield, was wielded by her like a bamboo strip without any effort. Guan Xing was so frightened that he turned and ran, shouting as he ran, "You brat, don't be impulsive, I'm your own brother."
Guan Yinping chased after him, cursing, "You bastard brother! You've betrayed me like this, my dear brother! You stop right there! If I don't kill you today, I'll change my surname to yours!"
Guan Yinping was truly angry and panicked. She and Xia Tong were doing well, but just now Xia Tong came to tell her to give up. This was her first love. The moment she heard the words "give up," she felt like the sky had fallen. After chasing after Xia Tong and asking him for a long time, she learned that it was Guan Xingjin's slander. Without saying a word, Guan Yinping picked up her Green Dragon Crescent Blade and came over.
At this moment, Guan Xing was running ahead, and Guan Yinping was chasing after him, wielding her Green Dragon Crescent Blade. As she chased, she cried and cursed Guan Xing as a bastard, which made Guan Yu, Zhuge Liang and others look on with black lines.
What did Guan Xing do to his sister that made her so angry that she chased after him with a knife?
This girl is something else. Why don't you just tell us what's going on? Why don't you tell us why? How can we make decisions for you if you don't tell us?
And then there's Guan Xing. He was chased and beaten by his father a few days ago, and now he's being chased and slashed by his own sister. There's no one else who would act like this.
Women are generally weaker than men, but Guan Yinping was an exception. Fueled by anger, she closed the distance between herself and Guan Xing, and wielded the Green Dragon Crescent Blade faster and faster with her arms like wheels. Guan Xing could even feel the chilling wind coming from behind him.
"This brat isn't really going to stab me, is she?"
"It's not impossible. When women get angry, they'll even cut themselves. Guan Yinping is currently in a berserk state where she's acting entirely on instinct. She probably doesn't even know what she's doing. If she catches up, she'll probably cut herself down."
Thinking of the consequences of a woman's impulsiveness, Guan Xing decisively quickened his pace and turned around to run towards Liu Bei's royal tent, intending to ask Liu Bei to persuade the girl.
At the same time, Liu Bei, who had heard the commotion, also came out of the tent. Seeing Guan Yinping chasing Guan Xing and slashing, he couldn't help but ask in astonishment, "What's going on? Why are those siblings fighting? Second brother Kongming, are you two just standing by and watching? Don't you know how to break up the fight?"
Upon hearing this, Guan Yu immediately turned around. His own children were killing each other in public, which had made him lose all face. He had already restrained himself by not getting angry on the spot, so he was in no mood to offer any kind words of advice.
Zhuge Liang was also helpless. Guan Yinping was clearly angry at the moment and wouldn't listen to any advice. Now was not the time to mediate. He just hoped that Guan Xing would run fast and get out of Guan Yinping's sight as soon as possible.
Wait a minute, why is that damn Guan Xing running towards Liu Bei? If Liu Bei gets scratched or hurt, you two siblings will be in trouble.
He wanted to warn him, but it was too late. Guan Xing and his sister had already rushed to Liu Bei's side. Upon seeing Liu Bei, Guan Xing instinctively slowed down. Guan Yinping seized the opportunity and decisively swung her sword down. Fortunately, she remained rational and used the back of the blade instead of the edge. Otherwise, Guan Xing would have been cleaved in two by this blow.
Nevertheless, Liu Bei was still quite frightened. He quickly stepped forward, grabbed Guan Xing's collar with his left hand and pulled hard, while his right hand swiftly reached out to grab the back of the knife and hold it in mid-air. Then he shouted sternly, "Yinping, that's enough! Anguo is still your own brother, you really want to kill him?"
Upon hearing this, Guan Yinping hurriedly let go and stood to the side, saying aggrievedly, "Uncle, Guan Xing bullied me, boohoo..."
Liu Bei said unhappily, "Then you can't just swing your sword at people, you can't even use the back of the sword. Go back and lock yourself in for three days to reflect on your actions."
Guan Yinping dared not refute, and weakly said, "I understand, Uncle."
Seeing that she was remorseful, Liu Bei's expression softened, and he asked gently, "Now tell me, how did your brother bully you? Tell me and your uncle will stand up for you."
Guan Yinping's pretty face instantly turned bright red with embarrassment. Her lips trembled for a long time, but she was too embarrassed to say anything. She stomped her feet, turned around, wiped away her tears, and ran away.
How is she supposed to explain that she was abandoned?
Doesn't Miss Guan have any pride?
Liu Bei did not pursue, but instead threw the Green Dragon Crescent Blade to Guan Yu, who was rushing over. He turned to Guan Xing and said unhappily, "You better tell me honestly, what did you do to Yinping?"
Guan Yu, gripping his Green Dragon Crescent Blade, glared at him with a hostile expression. If this matter wasn't resolved today, he was in for a world of hurt.
Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Guan Xing simply laid his cards on the table and said, "This is what happened..."
Everyone was stunned upon hearing this. Liu Bei sighed speechlessly, "Just as I thought, daughters grow up and leave home; keeping them only breeds resentment. And that kid Xia Tong, he usually seems quite honest, how come he's been sneaking around like this..."
Guan Yu sighed, his lips twitching, "I agree to this marriage. That brat Xia Tong wants to suffer, so I'll grant his wish."
He couldn't disagree. Everyone knew about Guan Yinping's reckless actions; if he refused, where would he put his face?
Furthermore, with her daughter's violent temper—she even dared to kill her own brother—which powerful family would dare to want her?
Get married already, get married as soon as possible so you don't end up stuck with someone else.
