Chapter 35: The Wizard of Makino 1
In the evening of that day, Zhuge Rong met Lian Qiying in private. Lian Qiying saw that Zhuge Rong's expression was more serious, as if he had something important to talk about, so he dismissed the left and right, and then said, "What is the matter with Mr. Zhuge Rong?" But it doesn't hurt to talk about it. ”
Zhuge Rong saw that there were no miscellaneous people beside him, and stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Master of the main hall, the battle of Tianyuan outside the Dushikou Pass has made my Liuhe Hall even more famous in the world, and at the same time proves that the brothers can do earth-shattering things, and I also know that the imperial court has been wary of my Liuhe Hall, I don't know what the master of the main hall plans in the future?" ”
When Lian Qiying heard this, he sighed and said: "I am waiting for the sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, what I have achieved is the cause of the rivers and lakes, and what I have done is a chivalrous thing for the heavens, but I didn't expect to be able to cause a big disaster, I Lian Qiying is really worthy of the masters of the previous dynasties!" In the future, Liuhetang should act cautiously and not violate the taboos of the court, so as not to cause changes. ”
Zhuge Rong said: "It's a pity that the battle outside the gate has confirmed that the imperial court has the intention of destroying my Liuhetang, although he killed Zhang Weicheng afterwards, extinguished the truth, and concealed it from the eyes of the world, but the court has a sinister heart, and the head hall master should understand." Then, Zhuge Rong stepped forward and said in a low voice: "How many words do my subordinates have, I don't know if I should say it or not?" ”
Lian Qiying's heart suddenly sank at this time, and then said: "Mr. Zhuge is the patriarch of Liuhe Hall, the hall master who leads more than 20 halls, what do you have to say." ”
Zhuge Rong paused at this time, and then lowered his voice and said: "There are now hundreds of thousands of people in the more than 100 branches of my Liuhe Hall, all over the north and south of the river, on both sides of the Yellow River, and their influence in the world is so great that it is not comparable to other forces, and one call can be responded to. Now that the court is suspicious, sooner or later there will be trouble, and the subordinates are not talented, and they are willing to follow the head of the hall with all the brothers of Liuhetang, and take this opportunity to raise the flag and raise the matter, and set the world ...... together."
"What?" When Lian Qiying heard this, she was shocked and said, "Why did Mr. Zhuge say something rebellious? This is a major event related to the life and death of Liuhetang. Zhuge Rong hurriedly said: "Please don't be alarmed, the matter has come to this, it is better to strike first." Now the court is corrupt, the kings have different aspirations, the Ming Dynasty is left with a lingering body, as long as I move in Liuhetang, the world can be in chaos, and the time will be ......"
Before Zhuge Rong finished speaking, Lian Qiying hurriedly interrupted: "Mr. Zhuge don't talk about it anymore, I think that my Liuhetang has achieved the cause of the rivers and lakes, how can I have the heart of being a king and fighting for hegemony." ”
Zhuge Rong still said to himself: "My Liuhetang has been established for more than 200 years, with a strong foundation, both civil and military generals, and has the potential to win the world. The so-called victors, princes, losers, thieves, the Zhu family of the Ming Dynasty, is not also taken from others, as long as the head of the hall ......"
"Shut up!" Lian Qiying suddenly stopped drinking, and strictly stopped it, Zhuge Rong was stunned, obviously he had never seen Lian Qiying show such an angry face, and he was immediately shocked.
Lian Qiying saw that she had inadvertently lost her demeanor, so she softened her tone and said: "Mr. Zhuge don't say it again, if it is a troubled time, Mr.'s words may be reasonable, and today it is still peaceful, the people are safe, how can I Liuhetang do something that disturbs the people's livelihood, besides, the Kanto Jurchens are getting stronger and stronger, their ambitions have appeared, and they are eyeing each other, if the Central Plains is in civil strife for a lifetime, the Jurchens will have a chance to take advantage of it, and there will be no peace in the world." Although the court is wary of my Liuhetang, it is also afraid and does not dare to act rashly. Mr. Zhuge should not talk about this matter, otherwise it will leak out, and there will be a miracle disaster, which will put Liuhetang in a dilemma, and the two-hundred-year foundation may collapse. As for Fang Guolian's son, he is my friend, and he is a great benefactor of Liuhetang, he is kind, we must not drag him into unkind and unrighteous things. ”
Zhuge Rong still wanted to argue and persuade again, but when he saw Lian Qiying's gesture, his attitude was extremely resolute, so he had to shake his head and sigh, bow and withdraw. Lian Qiying stood blankly in the room, not moving for a long time, as if she was thinking about something, obviously feeling a great uneasiness.
Zhuge Rong returned to his room, and the long-awaited Shui Ming umbrella greeted him, and hurriedly asked, "Mr. Zhuge , what is the idea of the main hall?" Zhuge Rong shook his head and sighed: "I want to push the head hall master to be Wu Zetian, but it's a pity that women are women after all, with long hair and short knowledge, and they are very stubborn!" ”
When Shui Ming Umbrella heard it, he hurriedly said: "Then it seems that this matter is not done?" Zhuge Rong said: "Yes, the head hall master is a woman with a woman's heart after all, and she can only achieve some career in the rivers and lakes. ”
Shui Ming Umbrella said: "Why don't we persuade Mr. Sun Qi, and then persuade the head hall master, as for that Luo Kun left envoy, he will also turn with the situation." Zhuge Rong shook his head and said: "Sun Qi is cautious, and he follows the head hall master, which is even more difficult to convince. ”
Shui Ming Umbrella couldn't help but say: "It's a pity that Mr. Zhuge and Mr. Sun Qi are two great talents, and they have the ability to stabilize the country and level the world, so they can only swim between the rivers and lakes, and they can't show their ambitions in life, and they are born at the wrong time!" Zhuge Rong slapped the table angrily at this time, and he was helpless. At this time, Sun Qi, who was in the other room, shook his head and smiled after listening to what Liu Yunhe whispered in his ear.
On this day, when it came to the auspicious day set by Lian Qiying for Luo Kun and Gong Ying'er, the entire Heming Villa was lit up with lights, and there was a festive atmosphere, and Liuhetang was congratulating a couple of newcomers. Gu Sichen and Sun Qi presided over the wedding celebration, and Lian Qiying, Fang Guolian, Bu Yuan, Lu Zhufeng and all the hall masters of Liuhe Hall congratulated Luo Kun and his wife, and it was lively for three days.
Fang Guohuan saw that Luo Kun's family business was in half, and Bu Yuan and Lu Zhufeng were in the high position of the hall master in Liuhe Hall, and he was very happy in his heart, and he had no concern for the three of them. Thinking of Qu Liangyi, Fang Guohuan reverted to Gu Sichen, the king of medicine, and temporarily went to the Qujiaji in Huaiyin, Jiangsu Province to diagnose and treat Qu Liangyi's madness.
Fang Guolian privately told Sun Qi about the murder of the national eunuch Li Wusan's ghost chess, and asked Sun Qi to use the power of Liuhetang to find the traces of this person in the future. Fang Guohuan saw that everything was over and the arrangements were in place, but Li Wusan's chess was unresolved, so he had the intention of leaving, so that he could find this person in the world and visit chess masters all over the world to do his own chess business. Fang Guohuan was afraid that everyone in Liuhetang would know, so he said goodbye for a while, so he secretly left a letter to Lian Qiying, Sun Qi, Luo Kun and others, explaining the reason, and then quietly left without everyone noticing, and went to the world of chess.
When everyone disappeared from Fang Guohuan in Heming Villa, they immediately panicked, and when they looked around, they found the letter that Fang Guohuan left to Lian Qiying and others in the room, and then they knew that Fang Guohuan left without saying goodbye and went alone. Bu Yuan was shocked at the time: "Not good! My virtuous brother left us here, and went to find the eunuch to fight chess! Then he and the anxious Luo Kun and Lu Zhufeng got on the horse and chased after them.
But I don't know where Fang Guohuan went, the three brothers searched for a whole day, and in the evening they each lowered their heads and sighed, and returned empty-handed. Lu Zhufeng couldn't bear it for a while, and even cried loudly, bluffing the heroes of Liuhetang into panic, I don't know why this heroic young man who commanded the Jurchen army of 200,000 and had no fear was crying like a child, and they were all amazed. Lian Qiying, Sun Qi and others sighed, blamed themselves for Fang Guohuan and said goodbye, Lian Qiying wanted to mobilize the people of Liuhetang to pursue, Sun Qi dissuaded, and told Lian Qiying that Fang Guohuan was determined to play chess in the world, and he would not live in one place for a long time, and he would have the opportunity to visit Liuhetang in the future.
After another two days, the medicine king Gu Sichen saw that everything had stopped, Luo Kun led the heroes of Kanto to join Liuhetang smoothly, and formed a couple with Gong Ying'er. Everyone couldn't stay, so they had to thank the medicine king for his help, and then Gu Sichen and Luo Kun hugged each other and cried and said goodbye, and the medicine king traveled the world alone.
Luo Kun saw that Fang Guolian and Master Gu Sichen had left in a row, and he was very disappointed and depressed, and Gong Ying'er comforted him with tenderness. Lian Qiying then dismissed the hall masters and returned to the main hall, when Zhuge Rong was leaving, he persuaded Lian Qiying to find an opportunity to raise the flag in Liuhetang, Lian Qiying just shouldn't, and strictly stopped it, Zhuge Rong was unhappy and left in a huff. Sun Qi saw that Lian Qiying did not have the heart to win the world, and pretended not to know, and led 500 dragon and tiger troops, together with Luo Kun and his wife, Du Jian, Bu Yuan, Lu Zhufeng and others, to protect Lian Qiying to return to Poyang Lake, the station of the main hall of Liuhetang.
