Chapter 52: Mo Lingyu

The "father" who had known him for less than two days passed away. Late at night, Guan Yan knelt in front of the spirit wearing mourning clothes. The candlelight swayed in the breeze, and the faint candlelight pulled Guan Yan's shadow so long and short.?

A long robe was put on Guan Yan's body. Guan Yan looked at the back of his hand with wrinkled stripes on his shoulders and said, "Uncle Zhong, haven't you rested yet?"

Guan Zhong walked to Guan Yan, knelt on another cushion and said, "Why has Wende not rested yet?"

Guan Yan did not answer, but looked at the newly established tablet behind the coffin and said in a deep voice: "Take the spiritual position of Guan Gong'an first."

After reading it, Guan Yan sighed and said with a slight slightest: "Uncle Zhong, to be honest, Yan can say that he has no feelings for the clan leader, and I can't even remember the appearance of the clan leader now."

Guan Zhong did not react, but nodded and replied: "Wen De and the clan leader have only known each other for two days, and this matter is reasonable."

Guan Yan closed his eyes, as if trying to recall something, and after a moment, he said, "But the look of the patriarch looking at me that day will never be forgotten. I can see from that look: At that moment, the patriarch regarded me as his biological son!"

Guan Zhong gently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said with a forced face: "Wen De should not be too sad. Before his death, the clan leader can accept a son and inherit the great cause of the clan. It is time to rest in peace!"

The two of them kept their souls for more than an hour. Guan Zhong stood up and said to Guan Yan: "Wen De, you will go back to Linzi tomorrow, so let's take a break soon."

Guan Yan nodded, stood up, rubbed his numb knees, looked deeply at the spiritual position behind the coffin, and slowly walked out of the hall.

At the foot of Hefeng Mountain.

Guan Yan, Zhou Cang and Guan Zhong stepped down the last stairs down the mountain. Guan Yan turned around and hugged Guan Zhong: "Uncle Zhong, I will send you thousands of miles away. I will eventually leave. Come back and come to visit you again in the future!"

"Wen De is so slow, there is still something to tell me." Guan Zhong stretched out his hand and pressed the fist that Guan Yan was holding: "Lend me the "Twenty-Four Articles of National Policy" for use."

Guan Yan took out the "Twenty-Four National Policy" without any concern and handed it to Guan Zhong.

Guan Zhong took it, turned the ancient book over, and slowly pulled out a long ink strip of thumb-wide and about five inches long from the thick mezzanine cover of the last page.

When Guan Yan was secretly surprised, Guan Zhong grabbed Guan Yan's right hand and tapped Guan Yan's thumb with a long ink strip. In an instant, the long ink strip seemed to be injected with magic, and circled towards Guan Yan's thumb like a spiral snake.

Guan Yan was shocked when he saw this and subconsciously shook his right hand hard, but the ink strip was as if it was stuck to his hand and could not be shaken off no matter how hard he shook it.

Guan Zhong stroked his beard and laughed, pressed Guan Yan's arm gently and said, "Wen De, stop moving, look."

When Guan Yan heard this, he stopped struggling and hurriedly raised his right hand to observe carefully. He saw that the long ink strip had been circled into a ring on his thumb. The ink color was heavy, but it still had a hint of translucent.

"What is this?" Guan Yan raised his right hand and reached in front of Guan Zhong and asked.

"Haha..." Guan Zhong still stroked his beard and closed his eyes and replied: "This is the moling jade, which was found by Duke Huan of Qi at the bottom of the East China Sea in the Spring and Autumn Period. He was given to his ancestor Guan Zhong. It has been passed down to this day and is also one of the tokens of my patriarch!"

"That's it." Guan Yan retracted his arm, turned his right hand left and right, looking at Mo Lingyu, and praised: "It's indeed a good jade!"

Guan Zhong said seriously: "This jade is not only a token of our clan, but also has great uses!"

"What's the point?" Guan Yan asked.

Guan Zhong walked a few steps aside, looked at the mountains in the distance and said, "At that time, the ancestors had three hundred generals, four of whom were Huang, Lu, He and Jia. After the ancestors passed away, the four families were scattered in all directions of the Central Plains. If they were destined to see this token, their descendants would help them!"

Guan Yan rolled his eyes and thought to himself: There are so many four surnames in the world, where can I find them? What if I find someone else, I can do it? However, Guan Yan still needs to thank Guan Zhong for his kindness and folded his fists and thanked him: "Thank you, Uncle Zhong,"

Guan Zhong handed over the "Twenty-Four National Policy" to Guan Yan, took out a book from his arms and said, "This is the "Translation of Inscriptions" I compiled. Wende needs to be read by good students!"

This translation method is of great use for studying "Twenty-Four National Policy" and "The Strategy of Peace". Guan Yan looked at Guan Zhong's gray silk and vicissitudes of cheeks. This old man who had been together for only a few days actually valued himself so much and spared no effort to help him. Guan Yan was deeply moved from his heart.

"Uncle Zhong loves you very much, Guan Yan is afraid, and he will repay his kindness in the future!" Guan Yan looked at Guan Zhong sincerely and said that, and then he was about to kneel down.

Guan Zhong hurriedly held Guan Yan's arms and smiled, "You are now the leader of my clan, how can you kneel down easily?"

He helped Guan Yan up, Guan Zhong patted Guan Yan on the shoulder and said, "Go, go, it's getting late. Uncle Zhong hopes that you can achieve something and revive my Guan family!" Guan Zhong looked at Guan Yan and said sincerely.

"Take care!" Guan Yan bowed deeply to Guan Zhong with tears in his eyes, turned around and walked down the mountain. Zhou Cang saw this and hugged Guan Zhong, followed Guan Yan, and walked down the mountain.

After a long time of traveling, the carriage came to Linzi City again.

Guan Yan stretched out his right hand, looked at the Mo Lingyu on his thumb, and sighed, "Two days, everything is so great!" As he said that, Guan Yan lay down in the carriage and said, "Old Zhou, come to the city."

"Okay!" Zhou Cang waved out a beautiful whip flower, and the carriage drove towards the Linzi city gate.

The bumpy carriage seemed to shake out Guan Yan's worries. Guan Yan remembered that he had to go to Xuzhou to borrow soldiers, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's so annoying!"

Guan Yan was thinking about his thoughts with a "shaking his head" but the carriage suddenly stopped. Guan Yan opened his eyes slightly and shouted, "Lao Zhou, why did he stop the car? What's the matter?"

"Major General, there is a group of people gathered at the city gate. It seems that someone is causing trouble. Do you want to go and see?" Zhou Cang, who was outside the curtain, replied.

Guan Yan walked up straight, frowned and cursed, "That's a big deal! I've got a lot of troubles, so I'll go around and go into the city!"

Zhou Cang said "Oh" in disappointment, rushed to the carriage again, and drove towards the city gate.

When passing by the group of people, Guan Yan couldn't help but lift the small curtain at the window and looked at the group of people. He saw a familiar figure coming into his eyes. After trying hard to recall for a moment, Guan Yan suddenly turned over, opened the curtain and shouted: "Old Zhou, stop!"
