Every time the guests in the private room finish eating, there will always be a considerable amount of food leftovers, and if the aunts who come to clean up the table are hungry, they will always pick up the chopsticks used by the guests and pick up the food that has not been bitten, and eat a few bites without hesitation.

However, Tang Ye is a person with a certain degree of cleanliness, and he would rather go hungry than eat a single scrap left by a stranger.

"But I never eat it, I'm dirty!" The young man suddenly spoke, and there was a hint of stubbornness in his voice.

Tang Ye was stunned for a moment. This young man is the same as himself......

With an appreciative smile on his face, Tang Ye smiled and nodded: "If it were me, I would do the same!" ”

"Forehead......" The young man looked at the young man in front of him, his expression slightly stunned. But he didn't say anything more, lowered his head and continued to sweep, as if immersed in his own world.

Tang Ye was also silent for a while, quietly watching the young man sweep a piece of dry mud on the ground into the dustpan, and suddenly asked, "Are your parents still alive?" ”

The boy shook his head and did not speak.

"That'...... Are there any other relatives? ”

The young man's hand stopped, and the nail of his little thumb pinched a bulge on the broom pole: "There is a younger sister who died of illness last month. ”

"Sick and dead?" Tang Ye showed a look of surprise on his face, and then immediately apologized to the other party, "I'm sorry, I let you mention the sad matter." ”

The boy seemed to be numb to this, and said lightly: "There is nothing to be sorry for, it was I who killed her, not you." ”

"Huh? What do you mean? Tang Ye frowned, and found that something was wrong.

However, the boy did not respond, and turned to walk away with a broom.

Seeing this scene, Tang Ye glanced at the young man deeply.

It seems that the other party has some secrets hidden in his heart.

But now he can't learn too much about these secrets, otherwise it will definitely disgust the boy......

Without thinking too much, Tang Ye walked to the second floor and opened the door of Zhuge Gu's resting room, only to find that the old man who was supposed to be lying on the bed to cultivate was sitting at the table drinking tea and reading a book at the moment.

Even if Tang Ye walked in, the old man didn't react, his eyes were focused on the book, and his free right hand was still gesturing something on the table.

Seeing this, Tang Ye gently closed the door of the house, lowered his voice as much as possible, and slowly walked behind Zhuge Gu, looking at the book as well.

I saw that there were paragraphs of text written on the jute paper, and from time to time a simple illustration of the formation would appear, and then accompanied by a large explanation.

"It turned out to be a book on the art of war...... Tang Ye thought to himself.

At this moment, Zhuge Gu put down the teacup and suddenly raised his hand and stretched out. Tang Ye didn't pay attention for a while, and was scratched in the face by the other party's slender arm like sugar cane.

"Hold the grass!"

Zhuge Gu, who suddenly ran into something, jumped up in fright and burst into a foul mouth, and when he turned around and saw Tang Ye's face clearly, he breathed a heavy sigh of relief:

"It turned out to be the lord...... Shocked Xuanzong. ”

Tang Ye rubbed his face with a smile and said, "I saw that you were fascinated by reading, so I didn't bother. Why, can't you stay idle in bed? ”

Zhuge Gu smiled bitterly and nodded: "It's really idle." Although I have been away from the frontal battlefield for more than a year, I will never forget the sense of accomplishment of commanding the victory in the war.

My lord, when will you have your own power, or how can I show you what I am capable of......"

Tang Ye smiled bitterly when he heard this: "I want to too, but now that everything has just started, it is too difficult to have your own army immediately......"

"Hard? No, Xuanzong doesn't think so. Zhuge Gu said as he poured a cup of tea for Tang Ye.

"Oh? What do you mean by that? Tang Ye took the tea and looked at each other curiously.

"If the lord wants to achieve great things, in the current situation of not having a single soldier, he undoubtedly has to temporarily rely on a certain force and develop his own strength with the help of other people's soldiers and horses."

An ugly smile appeared on Zhuge Gu's thin face, and he took a sip of tea and continued, "Although it will be temporarily sent to the fence, there are also very obvious benefits to doing so. One is to use the power of others to achieve our goals, and the other is to be in danger or to be blocked by the forces we are attached to. ”

"I feel like a parasite...... Tang Ye thought to himself.

Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages, and the disadvantage is that you will lose a certain amount of freedom and easily become cannon fodder for others.

However, I believe that with General Yang and the lord here, it is not enough to become cannon fodder, but it is inevitable to lose a certain degree of freedom. And one of the biggest drawbacks is ......"

"What's it?" Tang Ye was a little nervous by what the other party said.

"It's just that if you integrate too deeply with that force, it will be difficult to get out when you want to get out."

Zhuge Gu looked at Tang Ye's eyes solemnly, and suddenly the wrinkled old skin on his face trembled slightly, and said with a smile, "So if the lord wants to really have his own power in the future, when he should be ruthless, don't be soft-hearted!" ”

Hearing this, Tang Ye couldn't help but think of the scene when Liu Bei first entered Shu in the Three Kingdoms, when Feng Xiao Pang Tong tried hard to persuade Liu Bei not to be soft-hearted, and the hypocritical Liu Bei had to twist and pinch it, but the result was not to occupy the power of the clan.

At that time, Tang Yeke, who was watching the Three Kingdoms, was really anxious for Liu Bei, and later when Feng Xiao was pierced by ten thousand arrows in Luofengpo, Tang Ye completely turned black to Liu Bei.

obviously wants to, but has to pretend, Tang Ye will not be such a person.

So when Zhuge Gu said this at this moment, he immediately nodded and responded: "If I can't do it then, you have to help me do it!" ”

Hearing this, Zhuge Gu's eyes suddenly increased with a hint of admiration when he looked at Tang Ye!

"Not so far away, what should be the best fit for my current situation? My original plan was to take the city lord's mansion to Bailu City to recommend myself, and see if I could mix up a half-official position......"

Tang Ye told his original plan to the current thinker.

Without Zhuge Gu before, Tang Ye and Yang Ke, a simple-minded guy with developed limbs, could only think about the future by himself, but now that he has an experienced and well-informed elderly strategist, he naturally wants to discuss it with the other party.

"So that's what the lord planned......"

Seeing Zhuge Gu's contemplative expression, Tang Ye suddenly became nervous, for fear that his plan would be foolish in the eyes of the other party.

However, what made him happy was that Zhuge Gu was not as straightforward as Yang Ke, even if he scolded, he scolded very tactfully: "The lord's decision doesn't seem to be a very smart Yazi......

Tang Ye: "......"

"However......" Zhuge Gu changed his words, "The general direction of the lord is not mistaken, but now that Chen Feng can do something secretly without being discovered, and no one even questions it, I guess it is very likely that there may be more powerful people behind it......
