Time was reversed slightly, and after coming to Lu Xun's court and bumping into Sun Quan, Sun Quan returned to his imperial study and sulked, the door of the study suddenly opened, Sun Shangxiang broke in from the outside, and said as soon as he saw Sun Quan: "Brother, what do you think of Liu Xuande?"

Sun Quan was startled, and after seeing that it was Sun Shangxiang, he said angrily: "You are becoming more and more unruly now, and you don't even make a noise when you enter the imperial study." ”

Sun Shangxiang didn't hear him say anything at all, but asked again and again: "Brother, what do you think of Liu Xuande?"

Sun Quan said helplessly: "Brother Liu is indeed a rare good person in the world, he talks elegantly and treats people politely, why are you asking this?"

Sun Shangxiang blushed and lowered his head and said: "Brother, look, your sister and I are not young, I didn't fancy so many people before, so I fell in love with this Lord Liu at first sight, brother, you can help me ask him." ”

Sun Quan looked at Sun Shangxiang's appearance, held back for a long time, and finally laughed out loud and said: "Hahaha, what, the little overlord is going to be good, I have never seen you twist and pinch your appearance, oops, I laughed to death." ”

Sun Shangxiang was furious, stretched out his hand and slapped the table and said, "Say it quickly, whether you can help me or not, if you don't help me, I'll find someone else." ”

Sun Quan smiled: "Who can you find, forget it, you better not harm others, I'll help you." ”

Sun Shangxiang smiled, and at this moment, the servant outside the door reported: "The lord of the Dragon Kingdom has arrived." ”

Sun Shangxiang hurriedly hid behind the screen, Sun Quan walked out of the desk to meet Liu Xuande, and the two took out the chessboard to play chess after greeting each other.

This is the scene at the end of the previous chapter, the two of them were silent for a moment, and Sun Quan suddenly asked: "Brother Liu, I want to marry my sister to you, but I don't know if Brother Liu can you agree?"

Liu Xuande was stunned for a moment and said, "This ...... This...... I'm afraid this is not very good, how can I climb the princess high in Liu. ”

Sun Quan waved his hand and said: "Brother Liu is too humble, your character is lofty, and it is her blessing that my sister can marry you." After speaking, I saw the screen shake slightly.

Liu Xuande lowered his head and said in a low voice: "I don't know what the princess thinks, I think this matter should be considered in the long run." ”

As soon as Liu Xuande's words fell, he saw Sun Shangxiang rushing out from behind the screen in an instant, and said loudly: "I am willing, I am willing." After speaking, his face turned red, and he lowered his head and put his hands in front of him and kept rubbing them.

Sun Quan smiled helplessly, looked at Liu Xuande and said, "Brother Liu, look at my sister, that is, you can lower her." ”

Liu Xuande was quite embarrassed and said, "Then follow Brother Sun's arrangement." ”

Suddenly, the needles in the entire imperial study room could be heard, and Sun Quan said: "Then I will be a matchmaker and let Brother Liu and my sister get married one day." ”

Sun Shangxiang ran out with a red face, and Liu Xuande was also stubborn and froze in place. said in his heart, "Now I will become a concubine of the Wind Country, or the lord of the Dragon Country, hahaha, the great cause of dominating the world is just around the corner." ”

In the evening, Liu Xuande returned to the other courtyard, ordered someone to find Zhuge Liang to inform him of the original situation, and asked: "Zhuge Junshi, this is the case, the next step is to gradually invade Feng's internal affairs and take power, what do you think." ”

Zhuge Liang sighed in his heart, but he still smiled: "If this is the case, Your Majesty, you can help Sun Quan return to power first." ”

Liu Xuande asked with some displeasure: "Why is this?"

Zhuge Liang explained: "Your Majesty, if you help Sun Quan return to power, you will definitely be supported by other princes and ministers, and then slowly give Sun Quan some advice, so that he feels that it is not okay to do without you, and at the same time use some novel gadgets to attract his attention, so that he will slowly hand over the power to you, and then it will be justified." ”

Liu Xuande nodded and said, "Sure enough, it's still the prime minister's long-term thinking, but I'm in too much of a hurry." ”

After saying goodbye to Liu Xuande, Zhuge Liang returned to his room, picked up the pen and was about to write to inform Lu Xun, just picked up the pen and put it down again, and said in his heart, "Now Liu Xuande doesn't fully trust me, and he can't be exposed at this time." Then he put down his pen, and went out of his bedroom and into the street.

Liu Xuande was planning the next step in the study at this time, and a guard walked in and reported: "Report to the lord of the country, Prime Minister Zhuge has gone out." ”

Liu Xuande nodded and said, "Go, send someone to follow the prime minister, record his every move, and report it to me when you come back." ”

The guards were ordered to go out, and Liu Xuande said in a low voice: "Finally made a move, I want to see if you are willing to submit to me." ”

Zhuge Liang wandered away from the street, giving people the feeling of going out shopping, the guards who followed behind him, did not see anything abnormal, walked for a while, Zhuge Liang suddenly changed direction, walked into a cloth workshop, the guards behind him stood at the door of the cloth workshop and looked in, only to see Zhuge Liang selected for a long time and discussed with the shopkeeper for a long time before coming out.

Zhuge Liang, who walked out of the cloth workshop, did not wander anymore, but went back directly to Liu Xuande's courtyard, and did not go back to his room after entering the courtyard, but came directly to Liu Xuande's study, bowed down and said: "Weichen heard Your Majesty say that Sun Quan's marriage, I just went out and helped Your Majesty buy some cloth and supplies, and you can send someone to retrieve it later, the address is ......." After saying that, he retired.

Liu Xuande called the guards, listened to the soldier's account and Zhuge Liang's words, and said with some doubts in his heart: "Is it really just to buy things for the wedding? ”

The guards received the order, returned to the cloth workshop, entered the door and found the shopkeeper and asked, "Did a person dressed in a white feather fan come just now?"

The shopkeeper replied: "The gentleman just now came to me and gave me thirty horses of red silk and fifty horses of dragon and phoenix cloth. ”

The guard asked again, "Did you say anything else?"

The shopkeeper scratched his head and thought about it: "Then there is none, but that gentleman is very picky, and he paid me the price for half a day." ”

The guard nodded and left, and returned to the farewell courtyard to report to Liu Xuande, although Liu Xuande could not be completely relieved, he did not pursue it anymore.

Let's go back to Lu Xun's side, after saying goodbye to Zhuge Liang, Lu Xun rushed back to the palace, and after seeing Sun Quan, he learned the news of the marriage, Lu Xun said angrily: "Lord, how can the princess's marriage be so hasty." ”

Sun Quan said: "The two of them are consensual and agreeable, how can it be said that they are hasty." ”

Lu Xun said: "Lord, after all, this is a major event for the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries, you can't be so reckless, if the dragon country has different intentions, then I am afraid that I will lose my wife and lose my army." ”

Sun Quan waved his hand and said, "At this time, I have decided, you don't need to persuade you anymore, just retreat." ”

Seeing that Sun Quan had given the order to evict the guest, Lu Xun couldn't say anything more, so he withdrew from the study, thought about it, and was ready to contact Zhuge Liang, he should already know.

Having made up his mind, Lu Xun hurriedly left the palace, came to the market, and also walked into the same cloth shop, as soon as he entered the door, the shopkeeper gave him a look, and Lu Xun saw it and went straight to the backyard.

The shopkeeper explained the matter in his hand to the man, and then he also followed, and saw Lu Xun kneeling on one knee and said: "Report to the governor, just now Prime Minister Zhuge has come, saying that the lord of Liu will marry the princess in the near future, please talk about it on the shore of Fengtai Lake tonight." ”

It turned out that this cloth workshop was officially Lu Xun's ancestral property, and the shopkeeper had already been replaced by his own personal soldiers, which was the scene just now.

Hearing the report of the pro-soldiers, Lu Xun nodded, waved his hand to let him step back, and thought about what to do. If you are rude, you are afraid that the fate of yourself and Zhou Gongjin is estimated to be about the same, and if you use strategy, you are afraid that the other party will be on guard, which is really a dilemma. After thinking about it for a long time, I had no clue, so I could only go back home gloomily and wait for tonight to discuss with Zhuge Liang.

In the blink of an eye, the sunset in the west mountain, the capital at night is full of gloomy atmosphere, because of the recent weather, it will be cold and biting at night, so the merchants, traders and traders have closed their stalls early.

Zhuge Liang put down his book, got up and came to the door, looked up at the night sky, and said softly: "It's almost time." Then he turned around, took out twelve small wooden figures from his bag, walked to the courtyard, and drew a Fuxi gossip map on the ground, it is rumored that in order to resist the attack of the outside world, Fuxi deliberately invented the Fuxi gossip, named the innate gossip, representing the collection of all the forces between heaven and earth, whether it is divination or arranging defense, there is a strong force.

Then, the descendants of the innate gossip were lost, and the descendants searched for some relevant information, forming the 'acquired gossip', but unfortunately, the most core power of Fuxi was lost, so it could not exert all its power, so it could only be used for divination, and the art of arranging the formation defense was completely abolished and useless.

Zhuge Liang in the courtyard through the Fuxi gossip map, put out a 'stand-in phantom array', this array, outsiders will not see the situation in the formation, will only see some illusions they want to see, if you want to break the formation, you must have no distractions, use the gossip direction to crack, otherwise you will only fall into this endless illusion.

After the formation was completed, Zhuge Liang walked out of the courtyard and rushed to Fengtai Lake.

Liu Xuande suddenly had a feeling of uneasiness in his heart at this time, so he sent someone to surround Zhuge Liang's bedroom, and he also took a look at it himself, and saw Zhuge Liang sitting in the room reading, his tense heart relaxed a little, and said to himself: "Is it because I am too careful? But I have to guard against it." ”

After Zhuge Liang walked out of the courtyard, he did not go straight to Fengtai Lake, but chose to spare a circle, firstly, for fear that someone would follow him, and secondly, it was also to delay a little time, in case Liu Xuande was still wary and sent someone to look for it, he would only see Lu Xun alone, this is the intrigue between capable people, Zhuge Liang must be thoughtful, even a small mistake may lose the whole game......
