From the Yellow Turban Uprising, to the fall of the stars in Wuzhang Plain, and even to the return of three points to Jin, it has been more than 100 years before and after, if it is really the black hand behind the scenes who is promoting all this, it shows the great energy of the black hand behind the scenes.

Even, Zhuge Liang after rebirth and crossing, even the master was a little suspicious at this time.

Shimen wants luck, that's right.

But it is difficult to ensure that no one in the division is the mastermind behind the scenes, or the pawns of the mastermind behind the scenes.

Judging from the life trajectory of Prime Minister Shu Han, this possibility is not impossible.

Why did the disciples he Zhuge Liang accept drop the chain at a critical moment?

Pang Tong, known as the "phoenix chick", was originally good, but why did he "die" in Luofengpo?

Could it be just to give Liu Xuande an excuse to enter Shu?

Also, what is the relationship between his Zhuge Liang's master Sima Hui and the Sima clan who returned to Jin in three points?

In this way, when Zhuge Liang began to look at all this with suspicious eyes, he seemed suspicious.

This time, he Zhuge Liang went to Xuzhou, but the cause and effect with Lu Bu was the main thing.

But in addition to this, Zhuge Liang can't say anything, and he also has to lay out one or two for the upcoming battle of Guandu, to see if he can let the black hands hidden behind these big events reveal a little clues.

……

The ox cart squeaked, and Zhuge Liang leaned on it, but he thought a lot.

"Stop, what are you doing?"

Zhuge Liang was thinking about it, but the voice of a soldier sounded outside the ox cart.

Zhuge Liang lifted the curtain of the car, stepped out of the ox cart, and the first thing he saw was a majestic ancient city.

Above the city gate, there are two ancient seals: Runan.

This is Runan City, the capital of Runan County, Yuzhou.

Originally, the city was called Binh Hung.

Just because when Yuan Shuhu was lying in Jianghuai, he mostly stopped in this city and Shouchun, so he renamed this city Runan City.

At this time, Yuan Shu had already fled to Shouchun to survive, and most of Yuzhou was already Cao Cao's territory.

At the gate of the city, there were a few pedestrians coming in and out, and the one who stopped Zhuge Liang's ox cart was Cao Jun who was guarding the city gate.

In other words, Cao Jun's military discipline is still good at present. They searched pedestrians, and even all kinds of drivers would stop and check, but they did not take the opportunity to search the people; For luxury cars, they can also be regarded as searching without discrimination.

"I am a student of Lumen, Nanyang Zhuge Liang."

"This trip is to Xuzhou to meet Cao Gong. At present, I passed by Runan City and entered the city to rest for the night. ”

Zhuge Liang bowed his hand slightly, and replied to the two Cao soldiers in front of the ox cart.

Traveling to Xuzhou, this is not a secret, and there is nothing to hide.

In fact, when Zhuge Liang stepped out of the ox cart, the two Cao soldiers in front of the cart immediately looked respectful.

A moon-white gown, stained with a little dust, but this was stained along the way.

handsome facial features, obviously a teenager, but with a crown of scholars on his head; Coupled with the white feather fan in his hand, just from the appearance of it, if Zhuge Liang is not a scholar, they will never believe it.

For scholars, no matter what era, they are respected.

Besides, Zhuge Liang's outfit must also be above a well-off family to be able to afford it.

The two Cao soldiers, hunched over, lifted the curtain to "search" and glanced at it, and then sent Zhuge Liang into the city.

Didn't you hear what Zhuge Liang said just now, is he going to Xuzhou to visit Cao Gong?

The scholar went to Xuzhou to visit Cao Gong, and if he was taken by Cao Gong, he might be an official of their Cao camp in the future.

In this way, it is impossible for these little Cao soldiers to be careful!

……

Runan City, a wine shop on the corner of the street.

The ox cart had its own Uncle Niu to lead him to the backyard of the wine store to settle down, but Zhuge Liang stepped on the second floor of the wine store to prepare for dinner.

All the way, when I arrived at Runan from Longzhong, it was getting late.

"Haha, it's actually Kong Ming?"

Zhuge Liang had just stepped on the second floor of the wine shop when he heard a familiar voice laughing.

When he looked up, he was an old acquaintance of the original owner Zhuge Liang.

"It turned out to be Senior Brother Meng!"

"Brother Fool hasn't seen Senior Brother Meng for a long time, I don't know if Senior Brother has always been good?"

Zhuge Liang bowed his hand and asked with a smile.

This old acquaintance is Meng Jian, the word Gongwei, that is, the "Runan Meng Gongwei" in the later romances.

In the romance of later generations, Lumen had four friends: Meng Jian, Meng Gongwei, Shi Tao, Shi Guangyuan, Cui Jun, Cui Zhouping, and Kong Ming Zhuge Liang.

In fact, Zhuge Liang, Meng Gongwei, Shi Guangyuan and Cui Zhouping are brothers in the same school. Their superficial identities are all students of Lumen Academy; In fact, he is a disciple of the deep Jing Mountain, the Hidden Monk Sect, and the Lumen.

Among them, Meng Gongwei is the oldest and is called "senior brother" by the other three.

Meng Gongwei, Shi Guangyuan, and Cui Zhouping are all inner disciples, and they are all monks who have achieved small cultivation.

As for him Zhuge Liang, although he is a disciple of Elder Sima Hui and also belongs to the inner gate, his identity and status are a little embarrassing, and he is a bit like Jiang Ziya in "Fengshen List".

This is what Zhuge Liang now analyzes by himself.

……

"I traveled to my hometown for my brother, but I didn't want to, but I was already a thing. Today, I have little pastime in this wine shop, and I unexpectedly met Kong Ming, so we should have a fate with our brothers and sisters, and come to drink together! ”

As he spoke, Meng Gongwei pulled Zhuge Liang into the seat.

Meng Gongwei seems to be only forty years, but in fact he is more than sixty years.

It's just because his cultivation has been small, it is said that he is only one step away from the Yin God, and he doesn't look very old when he looks at it.

Meng Gongwei has no family, and on weekdays, he mostly travels to the East China Sea and lives in the sky at dusk. This occasional trip back to his hometown Runan, except for this Runan city, which is still there, most of the others are not people; That's why I drank in a wine shop, and I felt nostalgic by the way.

Zhuge Liang took a seat, raised a bottle of wine to Meng Gongwei, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Meng is already a man among the immortals, and he doesn't know the years. It must be known that the sea can become a mulberry field, not to mention that in the past ten years, Runan has experienced less wars? ”

"Fortunately, Senior Brother Meng has nothing to worry about, otherwise he would have to be like a foolish brother, and he would have to roll in this red dust!"

Meng Gongwei stroked his hair and smiled, and said, "Kong Ming's words are not bad! ”

After laughing, Meng Gongwei stared at Zhuge Liang again and asked: "It is said that Elder Sima has already taught you the "Qimen Dunjia", haven't you Kong Ming always studied and practiced in Longzhong, how can you have time to come to Runan today?" ”

Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly: "Senior Brother Meng doesn't know anything. ”

"The Mid-Autumn Festival is near, and the foolish brother has suddenly made a breakthrough in his qi practice and opened up the sea of knowledge."

"Unexpectedly, it's night, but the sky is disordered. This led to the fact that the foolish brother had just opened up the sea of knowledge, and something went wrong. ”

"If it weren't for the healing of my uncle's former friend Zhang Zhongjing, I'm afraid that the little life of my foolish brother would have been long gone."

"Senior Brother Meng also knows that Brother Yu has been studying "Qimen Dunjia" recently. pinched his fingers, only to know that the foolish brother's injury was due to the fall of the greedy wolf star, which caused the astrological chaos, which also led to the disorder of the heavenly machine. ”

"The greedy wolf star is Lu Bu."

"Yes, the foolish brother has to go to Xuzhou, but this cause and effect."

"I didn't mean to pass by Runan today, but I happened to meet Senior Brother Meng."

For the trip to Xuzhou, Zhuge Liang did not hide it, and this cannot be concealed.

Moreover, Meng Gongwei is an inner disciple, and Zhuge Liang also wants to knock on the side and find out some news from his mouth.

……

Hearing this, Meng Gongwei was stunned for a moment, and then sighed: "I don't want to, Senior Brother Kong Ming is so talented, it's just a pity......"

As for what is a pity, both of them know it.

The established strategy of the master is to send two or three disciples out of the mountain to assist the Ming Lord in order to compete for luck.

And Zhuge Liang is the first person to be determined.

is like Jiang Ziya in "Fengshen List".

Therefore, Sima Hui, the elder of the sect, although he accepted Zhuge Liang as an inner disciple, he only taught the art of war and strategy, as well as the ability to govern the country. As for the method of cultivating the Tao, the master only taught him the most basic method of qi training; The high and profound Taoism is not open to Zhuge Liang.

However, now, Zhuge Liang only relied on the most basic method of qi training, and he was able to open up the sea of knowledge and condense mana. If Zhuge Liang is given a more advanced cultivation method, I am afraid that he will be able to reach the realm of the Yin God at the age of a weak crown.

However, it is a pity that the established strategy of the division cannot be changed.

Moreover, Zhuge Liang's red dust is too entangled in cause and effect, and sooner or later, he will have to go to the mountain to assist the Ming Lord.

Even so, it can only continue to be a pity for Zhuge Liang's qualifications.

After a little silence, Meng Gongwei said again: "Kong Ming is going to Xuzhou here, maybe he can meet the elders of the sect." ”

"Lu Bu should be greedy for the wolf star, and on the night of his death, the heavenly machine will be disordered. All the cultivation sects in the world have great powers to go to Xuzhou to see if they can get one or two opportunities in order to seize the lead. ”

"My Lumen elders are very powerful, and most of them went to Xuzhou."

"If Kong Ming can meet the elders of the sect this time, maybe they will be able to value your qualifications and turn to ......."

Speaking of this, Meng Gongwei was silent.

Because, Zhuge Liang's Hongchen has too many causes and effects, if he can't get rid of those causes and effects, no matter how high his qualifications are, it will be in vain.

Even if the elders of the sect value Zhuge Liang's qualifications, at most they are allowed to pass on his advanced Taoism; It's impossible, regardless of Zhuge Liang's cause and effect, to recall him back to the master to cultivate, right?

……

It turned out that the elders of the division all went to Xuzhou?

It's just that Zhuge Liang is a little bitter in his heart.

He Zhuge Liang did open up the sea of knowledge, but it was the Tao method of cultivating the sea of stars that he opened up the sea of knowledge. At the moment, this is not visible from the outside, but as long as someone invades his sea of consciousness with the Yin God, it can be seen at a glance.

Once you meet the elders of the master, if any of the elders use this method to probe, wouldn't it be possible that the roots of his Zhuge Liang would be exposed?

Although it is said, the master does not emphasize that disciples are not allowed to practice exercises that are not their own.

However, I am afraid that no sect of cultivation will tolerate disciples who make their own opinions and change the exercises of other sects.

At that time, even if he does not abolish Zhuge Liang's cultivation, he will be the target of key "attention".

In this way, how did he Zhuge Liang make small moves, how did he find out the clues of the mastermind behind the scenes?

That night, Zhuge Liang tossed and turned in the guest house, but he didn't come up with any way to avoid the possibility of meeting the elders of the master.

Helplessly, in the early morning, Zhuge Liang had to continue to carry the ox cart and go to Xuzhou.

At this time, if you find an excuse to stay, or turn back, it will look suspicious and more likely to be exposed.

Zhuge Liang only looked forward to that by the time he arrived in Xuzhou, the elders in the division had already left!
