Chapter 3: First Encounter

In a smooth mood and a little light, he got out of bed and walked out the door, wanting to talk to his uncle.

Uncle Duanmu was squatting at the door and plucking chicken feathers, "Uncle, I'll help you," Zhuge Xingchi walked over with a smile.

"No, no." Uncle Duanmu glanced back at him.

Just when the two of them were plucking chicken feathers, talking and laughing. Suddenly, there was a sound of horses' hooves from a distance, and the two of them followed the horse's hooves to see that it was a team of men and horses in Jin Ge Iron Armor, who were rushing here.

"These seem to be the soldiers of the county government, what are they doing here?" Uncle Duanmu muttered.

Just when the two were confused, the group had already approached. One by one, they reined in the horses, and then turned over from the horses, and their movements were so smooth that they were obviously well-trained. They did not come up from the steps of the western slope, but jumped up from the bottom of the slope with an arrow.

At this time, Zhuge Xingchi and the others instinctively hurriedly got up.

"You are so reckless as you break into my mansion, is there still a royal law?" As soon as Uncle Duanmu saw the people of the county government, he hated it so much.

"Old man, don't be nosy, we're not here for you, for him!"

Zhuge Xingchi saw that the head of the soldier was very burly, with a rough face, dark skin, and a golden armor on his body, which was always a little inappropriate, and at this moment, he was pointing at himself with his chin.

"He's from an overseas island, what are you looking for him?" Uncle Duanmu stood up in front of Zhuge Xingchi.

"There is an order in the history of assassination, when Jimo and Weiyang are in tension, in order to protect the peace of the state, whenever there are strange visitors from all over the country, all counties and counties must be arrested and interrogated in time, and there must be no mistakes!" The head of the soldier raised his chin and said proudly.

"Where is he a scout of another country, he is an ordinary young man, don't catch people indiscriminately!"

"Old man, are you deaf?! This is the order of the assassin Shi, dare to obstruct official business, even you will be arrested! The head of the soldier at the head of the army had bruises on his forehead and rebuked angrily.

"Uncle, I can't bother you, let them take me away, I'll be back after the interrogation."

"Young man, you can't let them take you away, you can't help it once you enter the yamen!" Uncle Duanmu looked back and said worriedly.

"I've all died once, so what's the point of this little battle?" Zhuge Xingchi smiled indifferently and said in a low voice.

"Take it away!"

As soon as the head soldier's voice fell, two soldiers flashed out from behind him, and Zhuge Xingchi was escorted away with his backhand.

Uncle Duanmu wanted to stop him, but he was pushed by the head of the soldier and staggered to the ground.

"Uncle, you're okay, I'll be back soon." Zhuge Xingchi looked back and said indifferently.

As soon as the cell door opened, Zhuge Xingchi was pushed into the cell by a jailer. Immediately, a quill and a pale yellow piece of paper were thrown on the ground.

"Write down your life deeds word for word, and I'll pick them up tomorrow morning, and if the facts match our investigation, you can go back." The jailer put this aside and turned to leave.

When Zhuge Xingchi heard this, he shook his head slightly and smiled helplessly. Even if you do write it down word for word, who will believe your own experience? There won't be anyone! With this in mind, he leaned over and picked up the pen and paper on the floor.

Just as he was pondering how to write his life deeds, a rough voice suddenly came into his ears, "Were you also arrested because you couldn't pay off your gambling debts?" ”

Zhuge Xingchi took advantage of the dim light, looked up, and found that there was no one else in the cell except himself.

"Boom! Why are you so bad-eyed! Can't you see a big hole in the wall across from you? ”

Zhuge Xingchi passed the other party's reminder and looked at the wall facing him, and sure enough, there was a hole in the wall, and at the end of the hole in the wall, there was a big eye that kept blinking towards him.

Only then did Zhuge Xingchi realize that there was also a person locked up in the cell next to him. But he was depressed, worried about his life deeds, and had no intention of chatting, so he didn't respond to the other party.

The person on the other side of the wall hole saw through the hole in the wall and saw that the other party was indifferent to his own problems, but instead paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, and immediately became angry.

"Hey! I said you white-faced scholar, you look down on you too much! Do you know who I am? I am the great-grandson of Puyangyi, the founding general of Yuhua State and the king of Zhenxi--- Puyang Gu Sheng is also. It is precisely because of this extremely noble status that I dare not repay my debts, and others dare not do anything to me! Hi! I'm talking to you, don't you be deaf?! Puyang Gu Sheng's mouth was facing the hole in the wall, and he said angrily.

"My ears are so good." Zhuge Xingchi responded lightly, still pacing back and forth.

"My ears are good, so you don't respond to me when I talk for a long time?" Puyang Gu Sheng's voice was depressed.

"I said I have the talent of a prime minister, do you believe it?" Zhuge Xingchi suddenly stopped and looked at the hole in the wall.

"Hahaha... Do you have the talent of a prime minister? If you really have the talent of a prime minister, then I have the ability to be a general! Hahaha..."Puyang Gu Sheng laughed heartily, his breath was a little uncomfortable for a while, and after a while, he continued to taunt: "Hey, Prime Minister, you are so talented, how can you be locked up in this little prison, is it because the outside world is not enough for you to display your ambitions?" ”

When Zhuge Xingchi heard this, there was no turmoil in his heart, the corner of his right mouth turned up slightly, and he sneered at each other: "You are a great general, aren't you also locked up in this cage?" ”

"Ahem..."Puyang Gu Sheng coughed twice to hide his embarrassed emotions, "What do you know as a little scholar?" I don't use this called the hidden dragon... That one... The hidden dragon is in the abyss, and when the time comes, I will soar into the sky and make a splash. ”

Zhuge Xingchi smiled indifferently, shook his head slightly, and walked away.

The more Puyang Gu Sheng looked at the other party's disapproving appearance, the more indignant he felt, stroked the three bundles of three-inch-long black braids on his chin, and sneered: "I think someone is really lying and not blushing, otherwise he wouldn't be locked up here, maybe he stole someone's little lady and was caught." ”

"What is happening outside of the time you want?" Zhuge Xingchi suddenly spoke.

After hearing this, Puyang Gu Sheng was stunned for a while, and only woke up after a while, and asked, "Little white face, what do you mean by that?" I've only been locked up for three days, and there's turmoil outside? ”

"It's not Yuhua Country, it's Jimo Country and Weiyang Country that want to go to war."

"Hey... I thought why the turmoil, that's all? Besides, even if they really want to go to war, what does it have to do with us? ”

"As everyone knows, the city gate caught fire, which affected the fish in the pond. The country of Jimo is strong, once the country of Weiyang is taken, for the ambitious country, who will be the next target to attack? ”

"You mean...... We are in the country. ”

"When they take Weiyang Kingdom, their strength will almost triple, and when the time comes, won't it be easy to clean up our weakest Yuhua Kingdom?"

Hearing the other party's analysis, it seemed to make sense, and it once made Puyang Gu Sheng fall into deep thought.

"What you said is not unreasonable, but after all, our Yuhua Kingdom is weak, and we don't dare to provoke Jimo Country at all! Not to mention Weiyang Kingdom, even if we are counted in Yuhua Kingdom, the two together may not be opponents of others! Puyang Gu Sheng whispered through the hole in the wall.

"Therefore, we have to help Jimo attack Weiyang." Zhuge Xingchi said indifferently.

"Hey! Boy, play with me, didn't you say it just now, the city gate caught fire and affected the pond fish, why do you want to help Jimo to fight Weiyang again? Puyang Gu Sheng felt that he was being teased and annoyed.

"Since we can't stop the Jimo Kingdom from attacking the Weiyang Kingdom, why don't we take advantage of the situation to help them and ask for credit? In this way, the Mexican Kingdom will not have any intentions against our Yuhua Kingdom for the time being. ”

"How can you be so sure that if they take Weiyang Kingdom, they won't take us by chance?"

"Don't you forget, there's another Southern Primordial Kingdom to the east of us? If we are willing to continue to help them take the Nanchu Kingdom, why don't they do it? ”

"Hehehe, are you funny, when they take the Nanchu Kingdom, won't our Yuhua Kingdom still suffer next?" Puyang Gu Sheng sneered.

"I said that our Yuhua Kingdom is willing to help Jimo Kingdom attack Nanchu Kingdom, but I didn't say that I will definitely help them......"

"Uh... What the hell do you mean, I'm almost confused by you, I want to help this moment, and I won't help for a while..."

"I said that helping the Jimo Kingdom to attack the Nanchu Kingdom is just a pretense, our real purpose is to unite the Nanchu Kingdom to attack the Jimo Kingdom, which is relatively weak. Because, after they take the Weiyang State, they will definitely draw troops from various states to defend the Weiyang State. At that time, the strength of each city pass of Jimo Kingdom will be reduced accordingly, and once we join forces with Nanchu Kingdom, we will be able to easily break through their city gates! ”

"Obediently knock, brother, your remarks are really clever, once you break the gate of Jimo Kingdom, the general trend of the world will be reshuffled!" Puyang Gu Sheng expressed his deep admiration through the hole in the wall, and after a while, his thinking returned to the real environment, because he was a pragmatic person, "Hey, although your suggestion is clever, but what does this have to do with us, but even if it can have a relationship with us, after all, we are in prison, and it is difficult to protect ourselves!" ”

"Who said that it was the descendant of Pu Yangyi, the founding general and king of Zhenxi?" Zhuge Xingchi didn't know whether the other party's words were true or false, so he had to use this words to provoke him, maybe the information obtained would be beneficial to himself. After all, relying only on a piece of paper of life deeds, it is difficult to get out frankly in such a prison under feudal etiquette.

"Come, come here?" Puyang Gu Sheng called him in a low voice.

"What?"

"Come here, I'll show you something."

Zhuge Xingchi walked over with doubts, and at this time, something was handed over from the end of the hole in the wall. He took it out and put it in his palm to look closely, it was a sheep fat seal carved jade pendant with a rope.

"You can clearly see the four words on it 'General Yi', which is the jade pendant that the founding emperor rewarded my great-ancestor back then." Puyang Gu Sheng said in a low voice, in case the sound entered the six ears.

"Oh?" Zhuge Xingchi was amazed, and carefully observed that the jade was indeed cool, transparent and moist, without a trace of impurities.

"Give it to me."

Immediately, Zhuge Xingchi put the jade pendant back into the hole in the wall.

"Your jade is really a good jade, judging from the texture and touch, at least for more than a hundred years, it seems that your identity is indeed ......"

Before Zhuge Xingchi could make a final decision, Puyang Gu Sheng's tone seemed to be arrogant: "That's nature, this is the heirloom of our Puyang family." If my great-grandfather hadn't been framed and involved in a rebellion case later, at this time, I would also be the general of the town.

Zhuge Xingchi didn't dare to imagine that the history of the Puyang family turned out to be so complicated.

"Then how do you know that your great-grandfather was falsely accused?" Zhuge Xingchi asked.

"'Loyalty to the monarch and patriotism' is a belief engraved in the bones of our Puyang family, and it will not change at any time, even if Your Majesty does not rehabilitate our Puyang family today, I am still loyal to my country." Puyang Gu Sheng cut the railway, and after a moment, the words changed, "Hmph! When the prime minister of the dynasty can have today, it is because of his ancestors' meritorious service in reporting the 'Qingtai Poetry Case', that his family will be so favored! I believe that one day, I will pull the prime minister's family down from the altar, correct the name of our Puyang family, and reduce our name to three words! ”

When Zhuge Xingchi was on the earth, he was a person who was good at observing words and feelings, but now he has obtained Zhuge Liang's wisdom and ability to recognize people, and he has naturally risen by leaps and bounds. Through the tone of Puyang Gu Sheng's speech, the change of the other party's expression in the wall hole, and the delicate and realistic description of the past plot, he can basically conclude that Puyang Gu Sheng's identity is basically true.

"After traveling into this world, you can't travel back again, not to mention that there is nothing to be nostalgic about on earth. In any case, this new rebirth, I can't live up to Shaohua anymore, I must live a good life for myself and break out of the world on this Yunjinli continent. After hearing Puyang Gu Sheng's words, Zhuge Xingchi suddenly fell into a deep thought.

I don't know if it was because of the infection of Puyang Gu Sheng, or his unwillingness to fail in his previous life, or the guilt of Zhuge Liang's six failures in the Northern Expedition, which made him make up his mind, maybe both.

"By the way, what do you mean by turning your name into three words?"

"You don't even know this, right, four words are the standard configuration of ordinary people's names, the names of royal relatives and nobles and dignitaries are three words, the emperor's name is two words, and the name of the lord of the seven kingdoms is only one word, but unfortunately there is no lord of the seven kingdoms now. By the way, I told you so much, what's your name? Where is Yuhua from? ”

"My name is Zhuge Hanqing, I live by the sea, and my father-in-law, Uncle Duanmu, brought me up." Since it has been decided to be reborn, there should be a new name, Zhuge represents himself, Han Qing represents Zhuge Liang, in order to show respect for his resourcefulness, Uncle Duanmu is his reborn parent, Zhuge Xingchi thought for a moment, and the corners of his mouth raised lightly.

"It turns out that your name is Zhuge Hanqing, and it's the first time I've heard someone surnamed Zhuge ." Puyang Gu Sheng said casually.

Zhuge Xingchi knew that if he wanted to get out of this cell, he had to join forces with Puyang Gu Sheng, after all, he was a weak scholar, how could he fight with the prison guards. Moreover, if you want to get out of the Yunjin Continent in the future, you also need such a person to always inform yourself of the true situation in all aspects.
