"Zhuge Liang came to ask to see Lord Zhoumu, and please pass it on his behalf." Zhuge Liang came to the state governor's mansion.

"Mr. Zhuge is sorry, the old man is sick, and now he is resting and it is inconvenient to meet guests." The servant said apologetically.

"Is the adult's condition serious, does it matter?" Zhuge Liang hurriedly said,

"Mr. Lao is worried, the adult's condition is quite stable, but he needs to rest, and he can't see Mr. anymore, and Mr. is afraid that he will come back tomorrow." The subordinate said apologetically again.

"Okay, Zhuge Liang will come back tomorrow!"

Zhuge Liang can only return,

……

Yanjing,

"Queen, I plan to let Zhi'er take another concubine." Liu Wei said to Tang Wan.

"I'm afraid this is inappropriate, Zhi'er and Shang Xiang have a deep relationship, Shang Xiang lost the child last year, Your Majesty asked Zhi'er to accept a concubine now, I'm afraid it's inappropriate!" Tang Wan frowned.

"And the relationship between Zhi'er and his wife, if he accepts a new concubine at this time, it will only make Zhi'er reject the new concubine, and it will be a little bad for the new concubine." Tang Wan continued.

"The queen is right, but I am in too much of a hurry." After listening to Tang Wan's persuasion, Liu Wei also knew that he was a little anxious.

"I don't know which young lady your majesty chose for Zhi'er?" Tang Wan asked curiously.

"Her surname is Han, and she can be regarded as a famous family." Liu Wei did not hide it and informed Tang Wan.

"Could it be that Miss Han from Jingzhou?" Tang Wan guessed.

"It's her, Han Baohu's daughter."

Liu Wei nodded,

"The concubine has also seen her, she is indeed a beauty, and she is knowledgeable and reasonable, and she has a good personality, so she is indeed a good candidate." Tang Wan also agreed with the candidate selected by Liu Bian.

"You think it's good, don't you?" Liu Wei was a little surprised, Tang Wan could agree, then in his opinion, the matter was half the battle.

"In this way, Your Majesty will first arrange for the Miss Han family to stay with me for a period of time, and the concubine will also take advantage of this time to let her contact Zhi'er and Shangxiang, and after Your Majesty makes a decision in the future, she will not let Zhi'er reject it." Tang Wan proposed.

"What the queen said is very true, I will arrange it later." Liu Wei was overjoyed.

……

Following

Zhuge Liang came to the State Pastoral Mansion, fortunately he did not run in vain this time, Liu Qi had already gotten out of bed, and his recovery was fine.

"I've seen Lord Governor!"

"Mr. Zhuge is polite."

"Is Lord Zhou Mu in better health?" Zhuge Liang asked with concern.

"Mr. Lao is worried, Liu Qi's recovery is not bad." Liu Qi replied.

"That's good, that's good!" Zhuge Liang said with peace of mind.

"I heard that Mr. came to the house yesterday, and I don't know what Mr. is important to come here today?" Liu Qi asked curiously.

"That's the case, Cao Cao sent news that Liu Wei was going to attack Yan, Yu, and Xu Sanzhou, Cao Cao asked me to send troops to Jingzhou to assist in resisting Liu Wei, and my subordinates came down to ask for the opinions of adults." Zhuge Liang replied.

"I wonder what Mr. thinks?"

Liu Qi frowned, then looked at Zhuge Liang and asked Zhuge Liang's opinion.

"My subordinates think that Liu Wei is powerful, not Cao Cao, and not Jingzhou can compete alone, so my subordinates think that my Jingzhou needs to work with Cao Cao to resist Liu Wei's attack." Zhuge Liang replied.

"After all, Liu Wei is of the same clan as the official, and Cao Cao is a different surname, if the official and Cao Cao conspire to deal with Liu Wei, won't the world be ashamed." Liu Qi frowned, a little displeased.

"Of course, what the adult said is very reasonable, so the subordinates think that the adult can only do his best, but it can't be overdone, it is necessary to balance the forces of the two sides, not one side to win over the other, Liu Wei wins, my Jingzhou will be unprotected in a few years, which is not good for my Jingzhou. And Cao Cao wins, the world will fall into the head of the surname Cao, and the Han Dynasty will change the dynasty, which is even more inappropriate, and the adults and the soldiers of Jingzhou will be ridiculed by future generations. Zhuge Liang explained.

"What Mr. means is to let me send troops to Jingzhou to put pressure on Liu Wei, so that he and Cao Cao's strength can be balanced, so that the battle situation is stalemate, and even my Jingzhou will sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and make profits from it." Liu Qi said tentatively.

"What your lord says is very true, and this is what Liang means." Zhuge Liang hurriedly said.

"Let me think about this matter again, and I'll give you an answer in the afternoon." Liu Qi said hesitantly.

"This ...... That's good, the result of subordinates and other adults. Zhuge Liang was stunned for a moment, but he quickly thought clearly, in Zhuge Liang's opinion, if Liu Qi did not agree, he would directly refuse, and now he has to think about it, that is, he has almost agreed.

"Subordinates retire!"

Zhuge Liang did not stay and left the state pastor's mansion because he still had an important matter to do.

"Sir, go slowly!"

Zhuge Liang hurriedly left the State Pastoral Mansion, and after Zhuge Liang left, Liu Qi also hurriedly walked out of the door and walked to the depths of the mansion.

"Childe!"

As soon as Liu Qi stepped into the backyard, he met the old housekeeper of the State Pastoral Mansion, who watched Liu Qi and the two brothers grow up, and was also Liu Qi's most trusted person, so the title of Liu Qi has not changed.

"Fauber!"

"Childe, but go to find Mr.?" Fu Bo asked, in addition to Liu Qi, Fu Bo is also a person who knows Pang Tong's true identity.

"Exactly!"

"The gentleman has left this morning, and he has left a letter with something for the villain to tell the childe." Fu Bo stopped Liu Qi, who wanted to go to the backyard, and said.

"I didn't expect Mr. to say goodbye!" Pang Tong's departure made Liu Qi a little disappointed.

"Fauber, where is the letter, and what else does the gentleman have to say?" Liu Qi was a little excited at this time.

"Childe, please come with me!"

The two of them went around to Fauber's room,

"Childe, this is the letter that Mr. left to Childe." Fu Bo took out a letter at the bedside and handed it to Liu Qi. The letter was a little thick, and it was completely sealed on the mouth,

After Liu Qi took the letter, he was about to open it.

"Childe, wait!" At this moment, Fu Bo stopped Liu Qi again.

"Fauber, what's wrong?"

Liu Qi was a little puzzled,

"Childe, Mr. said that this letter can only be opened after the Jingzhou army's northern expedition to Nanyang was frustrated." Fauber explained.

"Why is that?" Liu Qi was even more puzzled.

"Mr. said that this letter is about the future of Jingzhou and the future of the Han Dynasty, and I hope that Gongzi will not open it until after the failure of the Northern Expedition to Nanyang of Jingzhou's army." Fauber explained.

"Alright then, then I'll not open it yet." Hearing Fu Bo's words, Liu Qi still put away the letter and did not continue to open it.

……

After Zhuge Liang came out here, he went straight to the west of the city and came to an inn.

"Sir, is it a hotel or a meal?" When the little second in the store saw Zhuge Liang coming in, he immediately stepped forward to ask.

"I'm looking for a guest in room No. 3."

Zhuge Liang replied,

"Sir, it's not the right time for you to come, the guests in room three are not in the store now, and they will go out in the morning." The shopkeeper said apologetically.

"Do you know when he's going to be back?" Zhuge Liang hurriedly asked.

"This, this, it should be soon." The shopkeeper said hesitantly, this shopkeeper is a person who is very good at observing words and feelings, and he can see that Zhuge Liang is in a hurry, so he deliberately replied with such a sentence.

In fact, how did he know when that person would come back, the purpose of saying this was to leave Zhuge Liang, as long as Zhuge Liang stayed, he would inevitably have to eat some wine and snacks, even if it was not lunch time.

"Okay, then I'll wait here for him to come back, bother the little brother, and prepare some wine and food for so-and-so."

Zhuge Liang took the opportunity to say, how could Zhuge Liang not see the careful thoughts of the shopkeeper, anyway, it didn't cost much, and besides, he really wanted to see that person.

"Okay, okay, sir, wait a minute!"

When the shopkeeper heard Zhuge Liang's answer, he immediately became happy.

Zhuge Liang chose a place near the gate and stairs to wait.

Half an hour later, a figure appeared at the door, and Zhuge Liang saw the person at a glance, and immediately stood up.

"Shiyuan!"

Zhuge Liang shouted to the man,

After hearing Zhuge Liang's shout, the man came to Zhuge Liang's table.

"It turned out to be Kong Ming!"

The man was a little surprised, Shi Yuan was the word for Pang Tong, and there was no doubt that Zhuge Liang would wait for Feng Xiao Pang Tong.

"Shiyuan, please take a seat!"

Pang Tong did not hesitate, and sat down directly, and the tables and chairs made by Liu Wei made many things in the Han Dynasty have been developed, such as inns, restaurants, and teahouses.

"Little Er, add a pair of chopsticks and bring a pot of wine." Zhuge Liang didn't care about the image, and shouted to the shopkeeper.

"Okay......"
