Sky Curtain: The opening scene explains the four major cases of the Ming Dynasty plus the early Ming

Zhuge Liang coughed up blood.

This brilliant and resourceful prime minister of the Han Dynasty, who was known for his unparalleled wisdom and strategic acumen, ultimately lost his composure after hearing about his "heart-stirring" love story with his arch-enemy Sima Yi, and spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot.

"Father! Father!"

The last emperor, Liu Shan, was so frightened that he rushed over in a panic, but dared not touch him and could only pace anxiously to the side.

The entire Prime Minister's residence was in complete chaos.

Meanwhile, in Cao Wei's main camp.

Sima Yi's face was darker than the bottom of a pot.

The generals around him wanted to laugh but dared not, their faces turning red and their bodies trembling like leaves.

"Governor...this...this is what the heavens say..."

A fearless lieutenant asked in a low voice.

Sima Yi suddenly turned his head, his eyes so sinister they seemed capable of devouring a person.

"Do you also want to wear women's clothes?"

The adjutant was so frightened that he trembled and knelt on the ground with a thud, not daring to utter another word.

Sima Yi took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

He knew that this was absolutely a malicious fabrication by people from later generations!

But this arrangement is too harsh!

Now, his reputation as "Tsukigami" is likely to become that of a "cross-dressing master".

He could even imagine that in the future, when the two armies faced off, Zhuge Liang wouldn't have to do anything; he would only need to have his soldiers place a set of women's clothing on the high platform, and half of his army's morale would be thrown into chaos.

"Zhuge, you old fox...we are sworn enemies!"

Sima Yi roared in his heart, but this roar sounded like "love turned to hate" at this moment.

Above the sky, Zhu Dijun was startled to see Zhuge Liang spitting blood.

"Oops, we've gone too far."

"Prime Minister, you must hold on! This is just unofficial history, unofficial history! Just kidding!"

He quickly explained:

"Family members, this story is purely fictional. Any resemblance to actual events or persons is purely coincidental! Please don't take it seriously. The Prime Minister is a man of unwavering integrity! That old scoundrel Sima is not."

"To help everyone move on from that 'sad' love story, let's change things up!"

Judy cleared her throat and her expression turned serious.

"Next, we will discuss a pivotal event in the history of the Three Kingdoms!"

"That was—Guan Yu, defeated at Maicheng!"

These words immediately put everyone on edge.

Especially the Shu Han side.

Liu Bei, lying on his sickbed, struggled to sit up.

Guan Yu of Jingzhou gripped his Green Dragon Crescent Blade tightly.

Zhang Fei, far away in Langzhong, also stopped cursing and pricked up his ears.

This is a pain that will forever remain in their hearts!

"As we all know, Guan Yu's death directly led to the decline of the Shu Han group and triggered the Battle of Yiling. It can be said to be a key turning point that changed the course of the Three Kingdoms."

Zhu Dijun's tone was heavy.

According to official historical records, Guan Yu was defeated by Lü Meng of Eastern Wu's strategy of crossing the river in disguise, leaving him vulnerable to attack from both sides, and ultimately he was defeated and killed.

"but!"

He abruptly changed the subject, and that wicked grin that made people's teeth itch returned to his face.

"In our unofficial historical accounts, the reason why Lü Meng was so determined to kill Guan Yu was actually due to a hidden, intriguing...personal grudge!"

Personal grudge?

Does it still have flavor?

Everyone was stunned.

Lu Meng and Guan Yu, one is the Grand Commander of Jiangdong and the other is the Marquis of Hanshou. Although they are enemies, they do not seem to have any deep personal grudges.

Eastern Wu, Jianye.

Grand Commander Lü Meng was discussing matters with Lu Su, Lu Xun, and others when he saw Tian Mu mention him, and he couldn't help but frown.

He had a premonition that things were far from simple.

Sure enough, a new title appeared on the screen.

[The Fifth installment of Unofficial Histories of the Three Kingdoms: The Real Reason Lü Meng Slayed Guan Yu!]

The AI ​​animation played again.

The scene shifts back to many years ago, to a bustling street.

A burly man with a ruddy face and a youthful appearance was pushing a cart and was energetically hawking his wares.

"Selling mung beans! Sweet and juicy mung beans! Refreshing and cooling, or your money back if you don't like them!"

This man was none other than Guan Yu in his youth!

The scene shifts to a simply dressed young man who looks like a poor student walking up to the stall.

He was Lü Meng in his youth.

The chibi-style Lu Meng looked at the lush green beans, swallowed hard, and took out the few copper coins he had to buy a small bag.

He eagerly grabbed a handful, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it happily.

The narration begins: "That day, the sun shone brightly, and a gentle breeze blew. Young Lü Meng met young Guan Yu. He thought it was a wonderful encounter. But little did he know that every gift of fate comes with a hidden price."

The screen suddenly turned dark, and the background music became urgent and eerie.

As the chibi-style Lu Meng walked along, his face suddenly changed, turning from rosy to ashen, and large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He clutched his stomach, and his legs began to tremble.

"Gurgle... gurgle gurgle..."

An ominous sound came from his stomach.

"not good!"

Lu Meng squeezed his legs together, his face contorted in rage, and began frantically searching for something in the street.

However, it was too late.

A deafening "whoosh" followed, accompanied by a cloud of yellow smoke...

At this moment, the entire animation turned into black and white.

The passersby all covered their noses in terror and scattered in all directions, leaving only Lü Meng standing there, petrified, with a desolate background.

The narrator said in a sympathetic tone, "At that moment, what Lü Meng lost was not only his dignity, but also all his trust in the world."

"From that day on, a seed of revenge was quietly planted in his heart."

He swore that he would repay the humiliation he suffered today a hundredfold in the future!

At the end of the video, the scene cuts to a white-clad figure crossing the river.

The adult Lü Meng, clad in armor, stood at the bow of the ship, gazing at the imposing red-faced figure atop the city walls of Jingzhou, his eyes filled with deep-seated hatred.

He forced out a sentence through gritted teeth: "Guan Yu! I'll remember the beans you sold for the rest of my life!"

"Hahahahahahaha!"

"Pfft, hahaha! Diarrhea...diarrhea?!"

"I can't take it anymore, my stomach hurts! My stomach really hurts! Hahahaha!"

After a brief period of malfunction, the myriad worlds and timelines erupted in a burst of maniacal laughter that was more intense and out of control than ever before!

That reason is outrageous!

That's so down-to-earth!

That's so...tasty!

In the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin had already laughed so hard he slid off his chair, clutching his stomach, pounding the floor, and tears streaming down his face.

"A bean...a bean! Haha! A great general, actually...actually ruined by a single bean! Hahahaha!"

In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed so hard he almost passed out.

"Oh my god! I told you! You have to have a conscience when doing business! Look at Guan Yu, he got into trouble for selling counterfeit goods!"

He laughed until tears streamed down his face, pointing at Zhu Di and saying, "Fourth Prince, remember this! In future battles, never eat anything the enemy sells!"

The person involved has completely collapsed.

Eastern Wu, Grand General's Office.

"Snapped!"

Lu Meng slammed his palm down on the table in front of him, shattering it and sending splinters flying.

His refined face was now flushed a deep liver color, his eyes were bloodshot, and he exuded a terrifying murderous aura.

"Disgrace! This is blatant disgrace!"

He was so angry that he was trembling all over.

Throughout his life, Lü Meng studied diligently and devoted himself to serving his country! His crossing of the Yangtze River in disguise was a strategic maneuver aimed at reclaiming Jingzhou for the nation!

How did it come to be known in the mouths of later generations as revenge because of... because of diarrhea?

Doesn't he have any pride?!

Lu Su stood to the side, opening his mouth as if to offer some advice, but found that the corners of his mouth were twitching wildly, and he couldn't utter a word.

On the city tower of Jingzhou.

Guan Yu, the martial saint who shook the land of China, stood there blankly, holding his Green Dragon Crescent Blade.

His mind went completely blank.

green beans?

Diarrhea?

Lü Meng?

He tried hard to recall his early days selling mung beans, and it seemed... it seemed there were indeed a few customers whose expressions were a little off after eating the beans...

Could it be... that one of them is Lü Meng?

Therefore, his scheming to seize my Jingzhou and kill me was not for the sake of Jiangdong hegemony, but to avenge the grudge of my escape from the West.

"puff--"

A mouthful of blood, which he could no longer suppress, spurted from Guan Yu's mouth, splattering all over the city wall in front of him.

His once ruddy face was now a dark purple tinge.

"Lu Meng, you little brat! I, Guan Yu, will never share the same sky with you!!"

A roar echoed through the sky.

However, to the listeners of all realms, this roar sounded like the angry outburst of an unscrupulous merchant after being confronted by customers.
