The Three Kingdoms: I asked you to save Guan Yu, not to destroy Sun Quan.

Chapter 547 Mass Poisoning, Nearly Wiped Out

In his previous life, Guan Xing's favorite thing to do was to meet up with a few close friends during his vacation for beer, hot pot, and barbecue. After a few beers, all his fatigue would instantly disappear, and just thinking about it made him feel very comfortable.

Unfortunately, he's a criminal police officer, busy as a bee every day with very few holidays. When he finally gets a day off and wants to have a drink, he has to report it. He has very few pleasant moments.

After traveling through the late Han Dynasty, I was extremely busy, and it wasn't until today that I finally got to drink my first beer in the Han Dynasty.

Seeing that Guan Xing had already drunk, Liu Shan naturally had no more reservations. He picked up his wine cup and, imitating Guan Xing, drank it all in one gulp. Then he let out a comfortable burp and excitedly laughed, "Awesome!"

After that, there was no suspense. Everyone ate hotpot and drank beer, quickly finishing a whole bucket of beer before leaving the mess to Pan Zhu and heading back to the city.

Accommodation had already been arranged in the city. The group, exhausted from their journey and having drunk alcohol, immediately went to sleep and slept until the next morning. Then, the incident occurred.

After waking up, everyone, including Guan Xing, who had enjoyed the beer and hot pot, started vomiting and having diarrhea. They felt cold all over and had splitting headaches. They started shivering like they had malaria. In this condition, they had to go to the toilet every 15 minutes. They were so exhausted from the diarrhea that they almost collapsed.

When the news reached Liu Bei, who was enjoying a massage from Sun Shangxiang, he jumped three feet in shock. Before he could even stand up, he shouted impatiently, "Quickly send Cheng Li to check on him. He must save him! And where is that Lushan Divine Physician Dong Feng? Send Zhang Fei to bring him to me immediately. He must catch up with me. Nothing can go wrong!"

Liu Shan was his only adult son, and Guan Xing was his nephew on whom he had placed high hopes. He would collapse if either of them had a problem, but now both of them have been affected at the same time.

There were also Jiang Wan and Dong Yun, two talented men whom he intended to appoint to important positions and who were even included in Zhuge Liang's "Memorial on Dispatching the Troops." However, they met with misfortune along with Liu Shan and Guan Xing as soon as they returned to Jiangling. How could Liu Bei not be anxious?

Liu Bei was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on his back. He let out a heart-wrenching roar and ran out of the tent. Halfway there, he encountered Guan Yu, who was carrying a leather whip and was furious. Liu Bei snatched the whip and threw it three zhang away, saying, "What are you doing with that whip? The child is so sick, do you want to hit him?"

Guan Yu, both shocked and angry, cursed, "I asked Pan Zhu, and he said that A Dou and the others ate hot pot and drank so-called beer brewed by An Guo yesterday. We've all eaten hot pot and nothing happened to us, so it must be the beer that caused it. An Guo actually gave the young prince freshly brewed beer to drink. It's outrageous! I won't be able to vent my anger until I beat him up."

Guan Yu was genuinely frightened and furious. He wasn't even that angry when his daughter Guan Yinping was poisoned, but Liu Shan was a different story. Liu Shan was the heir apparent of the King of Hanzhong, the hope of these old guys. If something went wrong or he died prematurely because of this, who would these old guys be fighting for?

So Guan Yu was really angry, so angry that he wanted to kill Guan Xing for the sake of righteousness. Why did you have to harm your own son?

Liu Bei cursed, "What's the use of killing him now that things are like this? Let's go check on him first."

The two rushed to Liu Chan's tent and found him lying on the bed, pale and weak. His wife, Zhang Xingcai, was lying next to him, looking just as bad. The couple looked like they were terminally ill and didn't have much time left. It was a pitiful sight.

Upon seeing Liu Bei and Guan Yu enter, Liu Shan struggled to raise his head and weakly asked, "Father, Second Uncle, how is Anguo?"

The simple act of looking up had exhausted him, leaving him drenched in sweat. Guan Yu, his magnificent beard trembling with anger, cursed, "Why do you still care about him? He brought this on himself and deserves it. And you, how can you drink all sorts of rubbish?"

Liu Shan argued, "I saw that Anguo drank it, and besides, that stuff really does taste pretty good."

Liu Bei and Guan Yu were both speechless. How could this child be so carefree?

Instead of scolding him, Liu Bei turned around and called out, "Where is Cheng Li? Has he arrived yet?"

The curtain was lifted as soon as he finished speaking, and Zhuge Liang and Cheng Li entered at the same time. Liu Bei and Guan Yu quickly stepped aside to make way for Cheng Li. Cheng Li did not stand on ceremony. After nodding to the two men, he rushed to the bedside to take the pulses of Liu Chan and Zhang Xingcai. He also examined their tongues and inquired about their current feelings. After that, he stood up and bowed to Liu Bei, saying, "The problem is not serious and can be resolved. Your Majesty, I will go and prepare the medicine now."

Liu Bei nodded and said, "Thank you for your help, Physician Cheng."

After seeing Cheng Li off, he called out to the outside of the tent, "Let Third Brother come back. There's no need for him to go. Since Doctor Cheng can handle it, there's no need to trouble Doctor Dong."

After arranging the important matters, he glared at Liu Shan and scolded him with exasperation, "You brat, you better watch yourself from now on, and don't eat just anything."

Liu Chan hung his head and said, "Don't worry, Father, I will never eat random things again. I will eat after Anguo has eaten."

Liu Bei: "..."

Are you deliberately trying to annoy me?

After giving a few more brief instructions, Liu Bei turned and left, taking Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang with him to Guan Xing's tent to check on his condition. Seeing Guan Xing, who was as weak and listless as Liu Shan, the three of them were simultaneously furious. They waved for Sun Luyu, who was serving them, to leave, and then cursed, "Guan Anguo, are you out of your mind? Why are you brewing wine for no reason? Do you even have the skills?"

Guan Xing said weakly, "This shouldn't be the case. My brewing recipe is correct. Where exactly did things go wrong?"

Liu Bei angrily said, "You've even started summarizing things! I don't care if there's anything wrong with your recipe, you're not allowed to make any more of this nonsense, and you're not allowed to feed it to people without confirming whether it's poisonous, understand?"

Guan Xing lowered his head and said meekly, "Understood, Uncle. From now on, I'll test it myself first to make sure it's not poisonous before..."

Liu Bei couldn't stand it anymore and stormed off. This brat wasn't one to listen to advice, and there was no way he would stop.

Guan Yu followed, but when he reached the tent, he suddenly turned back, pointed at Guan Xing, and cursed, "You brat, I'll settle the score with you when you're better."

Afterwards, Liu Bei and the other two went to the tents of Jiang Wan, Dong Yun, and others. Their condition was similar to that of Liu Shan and Guan Xing; they were so weak that they were barely clinging to life. Only after learning that Cheng Li could cure them did they feel relieved enough to answer Liu Bei's questions. Their conversation was full of resentment towards Guan Xing.

They had just returned to Jiangling and hadn't even had a chance to show their skills when Guan Xing knocked them out with a beer. Wouldn't it be tragic if they couldn't be saved?

The two were so frightened that they even wrote their wills. How could they not harbor resentment towards Guan Xing under such circumstances?

Then there's Xia Tong. Xia Tong was Guan Yu's last disciple, a peerless warrior who could move swiftly even while wearing dozens of kilograms of heavy armor. Now he's so weak that he can barely move a finger, which shows how powerful Guan Xing's creation was.

Seeing that even a fierce general like Xia Tong, who was stronger than an ox, had been tormented like this, Liu Bei felt an urge to beat Guan Xing up. This kid was too hateful.

Thanks to Cheng Li's efforts, everyone's condition finally began to improve, but the news was also ruthlessly spread.

Upon learning that Guan Xing had nearly wiped out the entire Han dynasty's second generation, including Crown Prince Liu Shan, with just a glass of beer, Sun Quan, Zhang Zhao, and the others were all shocked beyond measure.

That damn Guan Anguo is really good at fighting; when he gets angry, he doesn't even spare himself.

And that so-called beer, how come it didn't poison that bastard Guan Anguo to death?

While the important officials of Jiangdong were lamenting that Guan Xing had not died, several fast horses rushed into Jiangling, found Zhuge Liang, presented him with a letter, and said: "Strategist, news has just come from Luoyang that Cao Pi has usurped the throne and become emperor."
