The soldiers bought a lot of chickens and ducks at the villager's house, as well as wine, rice and vegetables, and when Yan Er saw that he had bought a lot of them, he asked: "Why are there so many, is it a low price to buy them?" ”

The soldiers were so frightened that they knelt down and said, "No, Niangniang, we all bought it at a high price, and in the end there was a lot of money left, and we gave it to the people's families in one go, and we definitely didn't dare to force it to buy." ”

Yan Er smiled: "Okay, look at the scare of you, this palace believes you, get up, go to the kitchen to clean up, and make a meal." ”

The soldiers got up with a smile and went to the back of the kitchen to watch.

Huang Yueying exclaimed: "It's just some chickens and ducks, this is very common in the township, why are they scared like this?" ”

Yan Er said: "Miss Huang doesn't know, our Han army is strictly disciplined, and all violations of the people, once they are caught, they will be killed. You say that I eat and live in your house, dare not give money? ”

Huang Yueying said: "I didn't expect the imperial court to govern the army so strictly, and I think the day when the princes will be pacified is not far off." ”

Yan Er said: "Your Majesty is also concerned about the world and the common people." ”

Huang Yueying said: "It is really a blessing to be able to serve such an emperor." ”

Yan Er asked her about human geography here, and Huang Yueying also came together.

The orderly soldiers cooked the meal and brought it up, and Yan Er invited the Huang father and daughter to dine together, and during the meal, Yan Er said: "Miss Huang talks extraordinary, and she is really a talented woman in Jingxiang, and she can serve the imperial court." ”

Huang Yueying said: "The people's girls are willing to work for the court's efficiency, but Niangniang also saw that the people's daughters were too ugly, and they were afraid of scaring Your Majesty and the officials." ”

Yan Er said: "Your Majesty employs people, not looking at appearance, not looking at background, only looking at talent, you are talented, no matter how tall or short, fat and thin, beautiful or ugly, you will be reused." Are you waiting for Zhuge Liang? It doesn't matter, you don't have to promise the palace now, and after the palace finds Zhuge Liang, you will make a decision. ”

"Yes, sissy."

After eating, Huang Yueying prepared a room for the three of her, but the bedding was not enough, and in desperation, the three of them could only squeeze into a bed.

Seeing this situation, Huang Yueying was very moved and said: "Niangniang is all golden branches and jade leaves, and she can still suffer from such difficult conditions. ”

Yan Er smiled and said: "After many years of fighting on the battlefield, there are more difficult things than this, and I have long been used to it." ”

Xiahou Ling said: "What are we? His Majesty sometimes suffered more than us, and during the march, sometimes he slept on the ground like a soldier, and ate from a cauldron with the soldiers. ”

Huang Yueying said: "Listening to you, I really want to see such a wise emperor. ”

Since there are three people crammed into a bed, there are also a few more stools to put on the side of the bed, so that you can sleep sideways, a little less too crowded.

Huang Yueying chatted with the three of them for a long time, and in the evening, Ma Chao suddenly came to report the plot, so Yan'er asked him to say it at the door.

Ma Chao said through the door: "Qi Yu Niangniang, the person sent to Xiangyang in the afternoon came back, saying that Zhuge Liang did go to Zilong to find a job, and Zilong arranged a position for him as a clerk of money and grain. ”

Yan Er said: "Kong Ming is not a talent of a hundred miles, Zilong has neglected him." And what about Kong Ming? ”

Ma Chao said: "Kong Ming resigned and left this morning, and I heard that he has returned to his home in Longzhong. ”

Yan Er walked back and forth in the house, thinking about what to do next, Xiahou Ling said: "Why don't you let Ma Chao send troops to surround his thatched house......

Yan'er smiled: "It's not a thatched house, it's a thatched house." ”

Xiahou Ling couldn't help but smile, the thatched house is the place to go out, and the thatched house is the place to live. said: "Let Ma Chao send troops to surround his thatched house to prevent him from running away again, and we will go to him tomorrow morning." ”

Ma Chao listened to it outside and said, "The last general will go to surround his thatched house, no, thatched house." ”

Xiahou Ling: "Just tie him up directly." ”

Ma Chao said: "Yes! ”

Yan Er said: "Meng Qi is slow, don't be reckless." Your Majesty has repeatedly told you not to neglect the Magi. ”

Xiahou Ling said: "Then send troops to surround him, just don't disturb him." ”

Yan Er said: "No, this will also surprise the Magi." ”

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work," Xiahou Ling said, "What if he lets him run away again?" ”

Yan Er said: "Don't be afraid of him running, even if he runs, you can still find him in the future." You think, he took the initiative to go to Xiangyang instead of Jingzhou to find a job, which shows that he believes in the imperial court, not Liu Biao. He went to Zhao Yun to apply for a job, indicating that he had admired Zhao Yun's name for a long time. It's a pity that Zhao Yun can't recognize talents. ”

Xiahou Ling asked, "Then let's continue to sleep?" ”

Yan Er was silent.

Huang Yueying suddenly said: "Three mothers, in my opinion, otherwise let's go to his thatched house to find him now!" ”

Lu Qiling said: "It's too late, now?" ”

Huang Yueying said: "It's not too late, I'm familiar with the terrain here, let's torch, I'll lead the way." ”

Yan Er clapped her hands and said, "Okay, let's go now!" ”

After that, he told Ma Chao to prepare some torches. The four of them set out overnight and went up the hill.

After walking for half an hour, he came to the hill and passed by the door of Sima Hui's house, Yan Er paused and said, "Forget it, let's not go and shout Shui Jing, let's go down to the valley to find Wolong." ”

The four of them went down the mountain road to the bottom of the valley with torches, and came to the door of Zhuge Liang's house, with the lights on, indicating that he was at home.

called to open the door, and it was Zhuge Jun who came out, and Yan'er asked Zhuge Liang if he had come back.

Zhuge Jun said: "It didn't take long for my brother to come back. ”

Yan Er was overjoyed: "That's great, let's come and place him overnight, and report it quickly." ”

Zhuge Jun said: "It's just that my brother is not at home now." ”

Huang Yueying said angrily: "Why can't you say a sentence at once, this little brat?" ”

Yan Er waved her hand at her, and asked with a pleasant face: "That little brother, do you know where your brother went?" ”

Zhuge Jun said: "Mr. Shuijing came to invite just now, and my brother went to Shuijing's house." ”

Yan Er said with annoyance: "I just passed by Shuijing's house, just go in and take a look." Let's go, let's go to Shuijing's house now. Little brother, go back and tell him that General Zhennan has come to him again. ”

"Yes, General."

Xiahou Ling and the others sighed, and Yan Er said, "Okay, let's go quickly, it's right in front of you." ”

Everyone was helpless, so they had to follow Yan'er again, follow the mountain road, go up the hill, and come to Shuijing's house.

When he arrived at the door of Sima Hui's house, he saw that the door was open, Yan Er changed and asked, Sima Hui came out and said, "The grass people see Niangniang." ”

Yan Er said: "Excuse me, did Zhuge Wolong come just now?" ”

Sima Hui said: "I'm here, I've just left." ”

"Why did you just leave? Any idea where he went? ”

Sima Hui said: "I thought he was going home, but the direction he was walking was not the same, it seemed that he was going to the hill." ”
