Zhuge Liang took Zhu Quan to the restaurant and found that the restaurant was overcrowded. This business is not ordinarily good! At this time, Xiao Er ran over and asked, "Guest officers, how many of you are there?" ”

"Two people!" Zhuge Liang replied.

Xiao Er smiled and said, "It's a coincidence that there is a table on the second floor, please come with me." After speaking, he led the way and pedaled to the second floor, Zhuge Liang and Zhu Quan followed him up to the second floor, and sure enough, they saw an empty table by the window. Xiao Er hurriedly took off the white cloth on his shoulders and wiped all the tables, chairs and benches with great effort. Then let Zhuge Liang and Zhu Quan sit down.

Then, without waiting for Zhuge Liang to ask, he handed over the menu. Zhuge Liang took it, opened it, looked at it, and casually ordered four dishes and a pot of wine. Xiao Er packed up the menu, sued for a crime, and went down. There was not much time, and two cold dishes and wine were brought up by him first. Zhu Quan picked up the wine jug and poured wine for Zhuge Liang, and then the two were just about to move their chopsticks. At this time, I could only hear the sound of stairs kicking, and Xiao Er trotted all the way to catch up.

He came to Zhuge Liang's table, smiled and saluted: "I'm sorry, there are few tables in this store, and now there are many people and there are no empty tables." It just so happens that two more guests are here, can I share a table with you? ”

Zhu Quan suddenly glared when he heard this: "Why don't we give money?" Why do you have to share a table with others? Xiao Er laughed again and again when he heard this, and hurriedly said: Don't dare, he just came to ask. At this time, Zhuge Liang spoke: "Forget it, it's just a lunch." Let them come up and eat together! ”

As soon as the man heard the gratitude, he immediately went down to beckon the guests to come up. After a while, Xiao Er came up, a master, a servant, and two young people. went straight to Zhuge Liang's table and sat down. Zhuge Liang peeked at the observation and found that the faces of the people on the other side were different, and he couldn't help but sigh lightly.

The person on the other side was stunned for a moment, and then hugged his fists and said: "Thank you, brother, Taiken, for letting us share the table, and I dare to dare to get off the horse." "This Ma Su is Sima Yi from Xuchang, Ma Su is just his pseudonym.

Zhuge Liang also saluted: "In Xia Ge Liang, Brother Ma is from the north, right?" ”

"Oh? How so? Sima Yi said movingly.

"Hehe, Brother Ma looks like a child of the family when he is dressed in gorgeous clothes. It's just that Brother Tai didn't know that people south of Jingzhou mostly wore silk clothes, so he concluded that Brother Tai was from the north. Zhuge Liang said with a smile.

"Brother's eyes are like torches, admiring and admiring." Sima Yi responded with a smile. As he spoke, he also ordered a few dishes, but coincidentally the hot dishes they ordered were repeated. After Xiao Er's suggestion, Sima Yi changed two more dishes and said with a smile: "The meal money for this table is all mine, and the meal fee for disturbing my brother's lunch will be regarded as my reparation!" ”

Zhuge Liang also smiled: "When we meet in Pingshui, it should be like this!" Xiao Er has two more cups, and I want to have a drink with Brother Ma. ”

"That's exactly how it should be!" Sima Yi also said with a smile. Then the two chatted enthusiastically.

At this moment, I heard someone at the table: "You don't know yet! Cao Cao's army has gone south to Jingzhou! My second brother went to the mountains in the new field this morning to chop wood! found that the army went straight to Xinye County under the banner of Cao Cao to kill. Thanks to General Wei of Xinye County, he reacted in time, otherwise Xinye would already be Cao Cao's! ”

"Really? How could Cao Cao's army be dispatched without any movement at all! The people at the table apparently didn't believe him.

"This is still false, my second brother saw it with his own eyes!"

Zhuge Liang heard that he knew in his heart that this must be Liu Qi using his own strategy, and it seemed that he was about to enter Xiangyang. On the other side, Sima Yi was shocked, obviously he didn't figure out where this Cao army came from.

Zhuge Liang saw Sima Yi's expression and felt very funny, so he asked, "Brother Ma has met Cao Jun from the north?" ”

"No! I took the big road, maybe Cao Jun took the small road! That's why I didn't run into it. Sima Yi explained casually.

Zhuge Liang smiled when he heard this, and then the two continued to chat. The guests and hosts enjoyed a meal, and in the end, Sima Yi had to rush to pay, and Zhuge Liang was happy to push the boat to him.

Out of the restaurant, Sima Yi hugged Zhuge Liang and said: "Brother Ge, I still want to be in Xiangyang Panhuan on the same day, if there is a fate for you and I will see you again." ”

Zhuge Liang also smiled and said: "A well-educated person like Brother Ma, sooner or later you and I will have the opportunity to see." Please! ”

"Hahaha, yes! When you say goodbye, it's time for you to treat Brother Ge! Sima Yi also laughed.

Zhuge Liang also replied with a smile: "A gentleman's words are difficult to chase after a horse, Brother Ma, I owe you this meal sooner or later!" Ha ha! After that, the two looked at each other and smiled, and they actually had a sympathy for each other.

However, there is no banquet in the world, and in the end, the two went their separate ways. Zhu Quan quietly asked Zhuge Liang: "Who is Brother Zhuge here?" Talking so well, he shouldn't be a nameless person! ”

Zhuge Liang's eyes flashed and said: "If I expected it to be true, this person is Sima Yi, who has become famous in Cao Ying!" He came to Jingzhou, but he was afraid that Cao Cao was really going to make a move! ”

On the other side, Sima Yi's subordinates asked, "Young Master, that person just now is not an ordinary person at first glance, why didn't the young master take him under his command?" ”

Sima Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid this person is Wolong Zhuge Liang who studied at Mr. Shuijing's Sima Hui!" He is Liu Bei's person, and he has a bad relationship with that Han Fei, I'm afraid he has already rejected me before I open my mouth! If such a person is not of any use to me, it is better to get rid of it as soon as possible! ”

"Then the young master asked me to kill him!"

"There's no hurry, big things have to go. At this moment, Liu Bei is far away from the whip in Qingzhou, and you and I have time to kill him slowly. After Sima Yi finished speaking, a sneer hung on the corner of his mouth.

When Zhuge Liang saw Sima Yi, he immediately felt bad, and asked Zhu Quan to immediately find the shadow of Xiangyang City, and quickly passed back the matter that Cao Jun was going south to Jingzhou. At the same time, he also told Sima Yi about meeting him in Xiangyang City.

Jingzhou is too far away from Qingzhou, and the fastest carrier pigeon has to fly for three days and three nights to arrive. So at this moment, if you want to act in Jingzhou, you still need to rely on yourself, Zhuge Liang also instructed Zhu Quan to closely monitor the dynamics of each door, and if Liu Qi enters the city, he must notify himself as soon as possible. I might as well go and see him.

Although he judged that Cao Jun's attack should be after Liu Biao's return to heaven, Sima Yi's sudden appearance made Zhuge Liang have to deal with it carefully to prevent various emergencies.

The "Cao Army" raided Xinye, and the eldest prince Liu Qi personally led a thousand cavalry to rush back to Xiangyang to meet the state pastor for help. Liu Qi walked all the way and saw that he was about to reach the foot of Xiangyang City, and at this time, the alarm bell at the head of the city rang for a long time, and the city gate was quickly closed. Liu Qi reined in his horse, waved his hand, and a cavalryman jumped out and went straight to the city, shouting: "The Cao army raided Xinye, and the eldest prince Liu Qi personally returned to the city for help!" Don't open the city and let it go yet! ”

Asked for a ticket. Ask for a tip.
