Outside the city of Xiangyang, above the pier.

Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jin stood with their hands in their hands, their robes rattling in the breeze blowing across the river.

"Brother goes back this time, I don't know when I will see you again..."

Zhuge Liang looked at the river in the distance and said with some sadness.

"Maybe we'll see you again soon, maybe... Never again!

Who knows, in these chaotic times, no one can guarantee anything..."

Zhuge Jin didn't seem to be willing to dwell on this topic, turned around and bowed to Zhuge Liang, stepped on the boat in front of him, and left directly.

He walked very simply, without the slightest nostalgia and reluctance.

Zhao Yun, who was silently standing behind Zhuge Liang and watching all this, chuckled and said.

"It seems that Mr. Ziyu is a very direct person!"

"Yes! For the sake of Sun Quan, he would rather sacrifice himself! ”

Zhuge Liang nodded with a wry smile, looked at the boat that was gradually moving away, and muttered.

"Of course, after all, it's the brother of the military advisor!" Zhao Yun also looked ahead, but suddenly frowned, turned his head to look at Zhuge Liang and asked puzzled.

"What the military advisor means, Mr. Ziyu, he..."

He didn't finish speaking, just looked at Zhuge Liang with some incredulity.

"Yes! Otherwise, with his wisdom and cunning, how could he be so reckless and act like this in the palace!

He just wanted to provoke Xu Tian, it was best to let him kill him in front of everyone in a fit of anger! ”

"But why is that?" Zhao Yun was very puzzled.

"Is it just to use his death in exchange for the name of Sun Quan's troops?"

After seeing Zhuge Liang nodding silently, Zhao Yun was even more shocked.

"But what's the use of that? How treacherous this Xu Tian is.

If the goal is not achieved, won't Mr. Ziyu die in vain? ”

"It turns out that he didn't plan to go back when he came to Xiangyang..."

Zhuge Liang sighed lightly again, bowed silently to the boat that had turned into a black spot, and turned to leave.

Looking at Zhuge Liang's back, Zhao Yun felt a little guilty.

At times like these, it's useless to talk about that.

The hand holding the saber tightened, and Zhao Yun raised his heel and went up...

…

Xiangyang City, inside the palace hall.

Xu Tian and Zhang Tao had another long talk, and it was not until night fell that they slowly walked out of the main hall.

"Every time I talk to the king, I will be stunned.

If the king is a word, he will think about it well and strive for the fastest time to give the king a plan! ”

Standing outside the main hall, bathed in the bright starlight, Zhang Tao bowed deeply to Xu Tian.

Seeing Zhang Tao leave, Xu Tian seemed to relax all of a sudden, took a mouthful, and looked up at the starry night sky.

"The king seems to appreciate this Zhang Tao..."

Lu Tianba, who was waiting for Xu Tian outside the hall, whispered behind him.

"He's very pragmatic, and he's a rare talent!"

Xu Tian nodded and withdrew his gaze from the night sky. "Come with me!"

The palace under the dark night, silent, the deep palace gate is like a beast with a bloody mouth, about to devour everything.

"Shen Du's matter, I didn't tell you in advance, I made you feel wronged!"

Lu Tianba, who had been following behind Xu Tian and remained silent, spoke in a congratulatory voice after hearing Xu Tian's words.

"The king is serious, Tianba is not a person who does not know the times.

Besides, in this matter, the most wronged person should be abiding by the rules! ”

"Yes, I wronged him!" Xu Tian also sighed lightly.

Before they knew it, the two had come to the palace gate.

Xu Tian's deep eyes looked back at the huge palace, not knowing what he was thinking.

"What should we do next, King?

After the last big purge, there are almost no merchants in Xiangyang City!

The most important thing is that many people originally controlled a lot of resources from merchants in other counties.

Now that they've all been revoked, it's very difficult for us to do it! ”

Speaking of this, Lu Tianba was very embarrassed.

Originally, he didn't want to add trouble to Xu Tian about this matter.

But there are many things, but only Xu Tian can call the shots.

"Tianba, now you are a big farmer, and all the business dealings and agricultural business affairs in Jingzhou are all under your control!

A lot of things, as long as you feel right, then do it!

Don't be afraid of failure, let it go, with me as your backup, there's nothing you can't do!

You remember, if you want to make your business bigger, you first have to have a big heart! ”

Lu Tianba took a deep breath, looked at Xu Tian's somewhat majestic back, and bowed deeply.

"I see..."

At this moment, a person came from the depths of the palace at a rapid pace.

After the man quickly came to Xu Tian's side, he first glanced at Lu Tianba respectfully, and then bowed to Xu Tian and said.

"Qiqi King Chu, Your Majesty wants to see you, and please ask King Chu to deign to go with the villain!"

After finishing speaking, the chamberlain stood aside respectfully, bowing his head with a smile and waiting for Xu Tian's reply.

"King, then I'll take my leave!"

Lu Tianba was very knowledgeable, and after hearing the words of the waiter, he immediately prepared to leave.

"By the way, Tianba, there is something you should do as soon as possible!"

"Speak, Lord!"

"When you go back, send all the copper coins you can raise to the manor!"

"Copper coins?" Lu Tianba was stunned, making sure that he had heard correctly.

"Yes, you're going to have to keep raising it after that.

Whether it is you, or the Yao family, including the merchants, the copper coins obtained will be sent to the manor.

As for the return, I'll pay you back more later! ”

Hearing Xu Tian say this, Lu Tianba was a little excited.

"The king's words are wrong, even if all the money is handed over to the king, no one will have doubts, and there is no need for anything in return!"

Regarding this problem, Xu Tian didn't plan to delve into it with him, just smiled slightly, and motioned to the chamberlain to lead the way and went to the harem where Liu Xie was.

Lu Tianba stayed where he was, maintaining a respectful posture, until Xu Tian disappeared from his field of vision, and then turned away with a firm gaze.

He knew that Xu Tian's carte blanche trusted him so much.

Xu Tian still explained to him many things that didn't need to be explained, and he understood the meaning of this.

For such a lord, Lu Tianba has sworn to himself countless times, and only by treating him with his life can he repay him.

The chamberlain who led Xu Tian also bowed forward, and his respect for Xu Tian was not weak at all.

It can be said that almost all the subordinates here treat Xu Tian with respect from the bottom of their hearts, but not only because of his identity.

After a long time, the attendant who was leading the way in front stopped, stood outside the dormitory of the harem, and respectfully watched Xu Tian enter.

In the dormitory, Liu Xie sat upright at a table, and after seeing Xu Tian walk in, he immediately got up and saluted Xu Tian with a fist.

"It's so late, and you're still bothering the King of Chu, it's really uneasy..."
