At this time, Yan'er was still in confinement, couldn't get up, and said with a smile: "Xiao Lingzi, don't kneel, get up quickly, I can't help you now." ”

Xiahou Ling wiped her tears and stood up, Yan Er instructed the female guard to bring a stool for her to sit on, and said: "At that time, each was his master, and you were also forced to do so, and I was also hit by your poisonous dart to protect Your Majesty." In order to protect Your Majesty, don't talk about this little thing, even if I die, I'm worth it. ”

"Sister......

Yan'er said again: "And this is all instructed by Cao Cao, and the fault lies with Cao Cao." ”

Xiahou Ling said: "I really can't wait to kill this old thief with my own hands now!" But His Majesty did not allow it. ”

Yan Er smiled and said: "Your Majesty doesn't kill him, it makes sense, we are Your Majesty's women, we should be considerate of him, understand him, and not make trouble for him." ”

Xiahou Ling said: "Well, I know that Cao Cao is my father-killing enemy, but for the sake of the overall situation, I have to endure it." ”

Yan'er reached out and stroked her face and said, "It's really good that my sister can understand the truth." ”

Xiahou Ling said: "Sister, I'm sorry for you, if you want to beat and scold in the future, you can do it at any time, my sister has no complaints." ”

Yan Er smiled and said, "Who do you think of me?" How could I be so unreasonable? Alright, don't worry about it anymore. ”

Xiahou Ling nodded and said, "Yes." I don't know if my sister's milk is sufficient? ”

Yan Er said: "It's a lot, Sister Yanyun, your children can also come to me to drink, my Xue'er can't finish it." ”

Wen Yin said: "Sister, you are angry with me, knowing that I have no milk." ”

"Then don't be angry, sister."

"I'm teasing you, how can I be angry with my sister."

"That's for the best."

As she was talking, Lu Qiling came over, and Yan'er said, "Lingling is here, there is one thing, let's discuss it." Your Majesty has sent a secret decree asking us to invite someone out of the mountain. ”

Wen Yin said: "Who, such a big shelf, Your Majesty has to ask in person." ”

Yan Er said: "This person is not trivial, Your Majesty told us not to neglect him." ”

"Who the hell is he?"

"This person's surname is Zhuge again, his single name is bright, the word Kong Ming, and the number Wolong."

"Wolong? A dragon lying down, just waiting for someone to wake him up, and then the dragon soars into the sky? That's too good to blow, right? Wen Yin was a little unconvinced.

Yan Er said: "Actually, I don't know, Your Majesty said so." ”

Wen Yin said: "But in reality, I haven't heard anyone say anything about this person, and he has no reputation, why did Your Majesty conclude that he is a talent?" ”

Yan Er said: "It's not a talent, it's a genius!" Don't be curious, Your Majesty asked us to invite, then let's go and invite. ”

Wen Yin asked, "Then when are you going?" ”

Yan Er said: "Since Your Majesty attaches so much importance to this person, and I am the boss, it must be invited by me personally, but I am still in confinement, and I will go after the full moon." ”

The discussion was decided, and after another chat, they dispersed.

Yan Er took the time to find Chen Gong to discuss At this time, Chen Gong had never heard of Zhuge Liang, but he said that since he was the person mentioned by His Majesty, it would definitely not be wrong, since His Majesty had explained at this time, he could not carry it.

Chen Gong planned to wait for Yan'er to be full moon, and then accompany her to invite Zhuge Liang.

The matter of inviting Zhuge was so decided, and after Yan'er was full moon, Guan Yu would change Zhao Yun to temporarily take Xiangyang, and then Yan'er would take Zhao Yun and Chen Gong to Longzhong to invite Zhuge Liang.

In the blink of an eye, Yan'er was full moon, and in November of winter, the weather was very cold, and Yan'er was about to go to Longzhong, but at this moment, Chen Gong suddenly felt a wind chill, and the high fever did not go away, so he could not go with him. Yan Er was ready to let Zhao Yun and Ma Chao accompany her, but at this time, Liu Xie came with another secret decree and told him not to let Guan Yu garrison Xiangyang.

Yan Er didn't know what Liu Xie meant, in fact, Liu Xie had his considerations, although Guan Yu was brave and strategic, but he was too arrogant, in the original history, he guarded Jingzhou, but in the end he lost Jingzhou and buried his life.

So in this life, Liu Xie didn't want him to guard any city in Jingzhou to prevent history from repeating itself.

Since Guan Yu can't guard Xiangyang, Zhao Yun can't leave.

Yan Er summoned the generals to discuss the matter and said: "Liu Biao's guest Zhuge Xuan, who died half a year ago, his nephew Zhuge Liang lived in seclusion in Xiangyang Longzhong, and this person has the talent to pass through the heavens and latitudes. Your Majesty ordered me to invite, I was delayed because of the confinement, and now I am free, but the public platform is sick, who do you say can go with me to invite? ”

When Yan Er said this, she deliberately looked at Guan Yu, who expected Guan Yu's face to be expressionless, everyone knew that Guan Yu's martial arts were world-famous, but he was also very arrogant. Yan'er thought to herself, since you don't want to go, it's best.

Zhao Yun guarded Xiangyang and failed to come, Ma Chao's body moved a few times, but in the end he still didn't speak.

Yan Er looked around and saw that no one was talking, so she had to sigh and say, "Since you are all unwilling, then it is better to go to the palace alone." ”

Lu Qiling suddenly stood up and said, "Sister, you are the boss, in order to show your sincerity, you must go in person." ”

"yes, that's right."

Lu Qiling said again: "The few male generals are embarrassed to go with you, so they didn't speak." ”

Yan'er asked: "Their male generals are embarrassed to go, but what about your female generals?" Are you embarrassed to go with Hongu? ”

Xiahou Ling said: "No, sister, our martial arts are not as far as their male generals, so we dare not stand up and accept this matter." ”

Yan Er said: "I think you guys are all excuses, you just can't let go of your body to accompany the palace to invite a literati." Then the main palace will appoint someone. ”

Lu Qiling said: "Sister, in my opinion, it is better to let me and Sister Xiahou accompany you, Wancheng is temporarily under the command of Sister Wen." ”

Yan'er nodded and said, "That's okay, let's go to Longzhong." Yanyun, Yunchang, Meng Qi, you look after the house. ”

Ma Chao said: "The three mothers are going, and the last general is not at ease, so it is better for the last general to escort the three mothers." ”

Yan Er smiled and said: "Meng Qi, Meng Qi, you see that you can't go, you just don't want to bow your head and invite literati." It's okay, you will escort the three of me there, and the palace is more assured. Yun Chang, you will stay in Wancheng and assist Concubine Wen Niangniang in guarding the city. ”

Guan Yu said: "The last general will obey the order." ”

The idea is certain, and each of them disperses.

Early in the morning of the second day, Yan Er, Xiahou Ling, and Lu Qiling were escorted out of Wancheng by Ma Chao with 5,000 fine horsemen, came to Xiangyang, crossed the Han River, and then entered Xiangyang for a night's rest.

On the morning of the third day, Ma Chao led a thousand soldiers and horses to escort the three of them out of Xiangyang and towards Longzhong. Not long after they came to Longzhong, because they were in the mountains, the three of them had to dismount, only to see the cage:

The mountain is not tall and elegant; The water is not deep and clear; The ground is not wide but flat; The forest is small and lush; Ape and crane blind date, pine fence intertwined. What a paradise, a place for the masters to live in seclusion!
