After Lu Bu led his troops back to Liangzhou, Dong Zhuo wanted to punish him, thanks to Li Ru's intercession. Even so, Lu Bu was also heavily broken with eighty military sticks, and he couldn't help but feel resentful.

Xiao Guan's victory was already sent to Luoyang by Liu Bei 800 miles in an urgent way, Liu Wei listened to Zhuge Ming's suggestion, and added Liu Bei as the general of Zhenxi to return to Beijing, and the same was to seal Guan Yu as the Taishou of Jibei, and Zhang Fei as the Taishou of Dongjun.

After Liu Bei returned to Beijing to pay the decree, he led his headquarters army back to Chenliu to continue Tuntian, while Guan and Zhang were inconvenient to go to their posts because Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan occupied the city, so they stayed by Liu Bei's side.

And this strategy Zhuge Ming has also been pondering for a long time, Yanqing Jiyou is now in chaos, just let Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei enter the inside to contain each other and stir up this troubled water.

Soon the new year is approaching, and this is the second year that Zhuge Ming came to the end of the Han Dynasty. In the first year, it was at this time last year, when the Western Expedition had just returned, and Liu Hong's trip was again, and the whole Luoyang was less flavorful.

And this year, Guanzhong has a bumper harvest of grains, but every family is colorful. Zhuge Ming Mansion gathered a lot of people, and this year's arrival of Mother Xie. It added a lot of life to the house. Liu Mu and others must have prepared generous gifts and distributed them during the festival.

Zhuge Ming made gunpowder saltpeter into firecrackers, and Liu Mu and others were not easy to play. Liu Biao asked Zhuge Ming to dedicate this law, Zhuge Ming explained the principle, Liu Biao ordered the Shaofu to be widely systematized, and gave it to the courtiers as a gift. For a time, firecrackers were prevalent in the world, and merchants came to Luoyang to seek things, and the goods were elsewhere.

In the blink of an eye, the Lantern Festival was approaching, and Zhuge Ming took Liu Mu and the three daughters to Luoyang Market to step on the lanterns. coincided with a private visit by Liu Wei and Xiaoqi Weifu. Everyone was shocked and hurried to salute. Liu Wei hurriedly grabbed it, glanced at everyone, and then came back to his senses.

Zhuge Ming's eyes swept away, and he found that hundreds of Imperial Forest Soldiers were mixed in the crowd. Zhuge Ming was a little relieved at this time, and said to Wang Yue with his fists: "Steward Wang, son, Madame and I will accompany you, you can follow behind." ”

Wang Yue looked at Liu Wei, saw that the other party nodded, and then went into hiding.

Zhuge Ming shook the goose feather fan, and said to Liu Wei with a smile: "Liu Gongzi, are we fighting wits?" ”

"Yes."

The two laughed and led the girls to the lanterns.

Walking in front of the lamp, I saw a ring in the distance. I saw a person on the stage constantly shouting.

"All the talented people are passing by, today my Tianxian Pavilion ladies spend the Lantern Festival with all the talented people, as long as you can pass the customs, you can enter the young lady's boudoir."

There were a lot of talented people and people in the audience, and there were many discussions.

After a while, a group of women with warblers and swallows came down from the attic with lanterns. Led by a woman in white, Aya Luo was flying, and her white veil hid this beautiful face. As soon as the woman in white appeared, she attracted the applause of everyone.

Immediately after that, a woman flew down the attic, and everyone applauded. Suddenly, I saw a woman, dressed in green, with a skirt flying and swinging, not relying on a flower basket, Aya Luo threw it, jumped barefoot, like an immortal descending to earth, ethereal down.

Xiao Qi beside Liu Wei was like a lightning strike, and looked at each other incredulously. The other party smiled at each other, and everyone was stunned for a while, and the two of them were pitiful. Countless eyes stared at Zhuge Ming and Liu Wei uncomfortably, coupled with the surrounding beauties, all of them were not inferior to the women on the stage, and they were even more ill-intentioned.

The woman in white looked at the woman in green and Zhuge Ming with deep meaning, and her eyes gave the middle-aged man on the stage a hint, and the other party instantly understood.

"Now that the heroes gather, all talented heroes can take the stage. The game is divided into civil fighting and martial fighting, and the way to win is very simple, just defeat today's heroes. ”

Zhuge Ming smiled meaningfully after hearing this, and looked at the middle-aged man, who seemed to be aware of it, and glanced back at Zhuge Ming.

"Which hero is below, I'd like to give it a try."

As soon as the words fell, the underground crowd rushed forward. The girls in the ring took out their finger pens, and after a while, all the men above the first round were defeated.

"What other heroes would like to try?" The middle-aged man asked the audience.

"I'll give it a try." As soon as the words fell, a man leaped out of the audience, dressed in a blue-gray robe.

The middle-aged man was surprised for a while, and he could see at a glance that this person was extraordinary.

"Serve the pen and ink, you just need to write a poem about the Lantern Festival and the beauty, and this level will be passed."

"Luoyang has a feast, the year is full of reunion, there are thousands of gold smiles on the stage, and nine branches come into view."

The gray-robed man spoke out in a short time. The middle-aged man was shocked.

"Dare to ask who the son is?"

"In Xiayingchuan Academy, it's ten."

After hearing this, the woman in white moved slightly under the veil. The middle-aged man was shocked, and Yingchuan Academy was like thunder. Everyone in the audience talked a lot, with a respectful face, but Zhuge Ming and Liu Wei were like bystanders.

"Which other son stepped forward to challenge, if there is no Jin Ri, this son will take the lead."

After hearing this, Xiao Qi tightened his sleeves and looked at the woman in green with a nervous expression.

Liu Wei glanced at Xiao Qi and jumped forward, and Zhuge Ming followed closely when he saw this.

Everyone in the audience exclaimed, and three people gathered in the ring at once. Inevitably, there were good deeds to coax, and the middle-aged man didn't expect to rush out of the two of them at once, and couldn't help but look at the woman in white.

The woman in white whispered to the maid beside her, and after hearing this, the maid walked around and walked to the middle-aged man and whispered.

The middle-aged man nodded, cleared his throat and said, "The two sons might as well write a poem, and they have already learned it." ”

"As promised, don't dare to disobey, the elders will ask questions."

"Several beauties on the stage are like Chunlan and autumn chrysanthemums, and the two sons can use flowers to describe beauty and write a poem."

Zhuge Ming pondered for a while, and recalled in his mind the beautiful poems about Chunlan Qiuju. Everyone in the audience burst into laughter and watched the joke.

After a while, Liu Wei wrote the poem, and the middle-aged man nodded after reading the poem, and asked the maid to put it away. couldn't help but look at Zhuge Ming, suddenly Zhuge Ming's eyes lit up, his hands were on his back, and his white clothes were dusty, if there was a flashing light, he would definitely be able to light up the blind underground 24k pure titanium dog eyes.

"Light Luo small fan white orchid, slender waist jade belt dancing veil. It is suspected that the fairy came down to earth, and looked back and smiled at Xinghua. ”

A poem was written in one go, and the audience was instantly silent. The people in the poetry are more beautiful, and a group of women on the stage have blushing faces and smiling happily.

"Dare to ask Childe, this poem is famous." The woman in white asked.

"Simeiren." Zhuge Ming made up a name casually, because this poem is a phrase in the Yuan song, and it was stolen by Zhuge Ming this time.

"Next, please invite the three sons to enter the second level and guess the lantern riddle."

Liu Wei Zhuge Ming looked at each other and smiled, and the next step was the real IQ test.

"The first way, what is there to fear in the cold of Sanjiu, the three sons wrote the answer on paper."

Zhuge Ming raised his pen and wrote the word honeysuckle, the middle-aged man looked at it and nodded, this question is not difficult, and the three of them quickly completed the answer.

"The second way, let the man go and ignore the affairs of the world"

"Idle." Zhuge Ming submitted the answer. Soon Liu Wei and Xun You also handed in the answers, and after a while, the ten exam questions were broken by the three of them.

Everyone in the audience watched the three of them fighting, staring at each one with short breath, for fear of missing a single detail, if nothing else, tonight's matter will spread all over Luoyang tomorrow, and no matter who loses, they will become famous.
