At this time, Liu Chan was walking towards Zhang Bao's house under the leadership of Zhang Bao.

"Hehe, Adou still has a way, saying that there is something to talk about, otherwise my mother may not know what to say about me!" Zhang Bao scratched his head innocently, looking at Liu Chan's eyes with gratitude.

Liu Chan didn't expect that Zhang Bao, who had a rough appearance, was actually afraid of his mother, so he shook his head helplessly and said with a smile: "I'm not looking for excuses to perfunctory my mother-in-law. ”

"Huh?" Zhang Bao glared at Liu Chan suspiciously, "Stumped, Adou really has something to talk about?" ”

"Hmm." Liu Chan nodded lightly, "Let's go to the house first." ”

"Oh." Although Zhang Bao didn't understand what Liu Chan wanted to talk about with him, he still took Liu Chan to his room.

Passing through the small courtyard of Zhang's family, Zhang Bao directly took Liu Chan to the living room in front, which used to be the place where Zhang Fei received guests, but now after Zhang Fei died, it was naturally replaced by Zhang Bao.

"Adou will go sit down first, and I'll prepare tea." The smug Zhang Bao looked very polite now, raised his hand and gently pushed open the door of the living room, and after taking Liu Chan in, he hurriedly ran to prepare tea.

Liu Chan nodded and walked into the living room, the living room is relatively simple, there are only a few desks, but the floor and desks are exceptionally tidy, obviously someone often comes to clean them.

When Liu Chan was observing the living room, Zhang Bao hurriedly walked in with tea, "Why are you still standing, hurry up and sit." Zhang Bao said and put the tea on the table next to him.

Looking at the desk in front of him and the hot tea floating on the desk, Liu Chan nodded and slowly knelt down beside the desk in front of him, and then Zhang Bao also sat down on the desk opposite Liu Chan with satisfaction.

As if she was not afraid of being hot, Zhang Bao stretched out her thick hand and took the lead in taking a sip of tea, and hurriedly asked Liu Chan: "Say, what is the matter?" ”

Liu Chan was not as reckless as Zhang Bao, he just stared quietly at the teacup on the desk in front of him, and suddenly raised his dark eyes to look at Zhang Bao and said softly: "Do you know when the North Gate guard began to become stricter?" ”

"I haven't paid much attention to this." Zhang Bao stared at Liu Chan with wide eyes, looked at Liu Chan in confusion and shook his head.

Liu Chan frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and couldn't help asking, "Then when you go out of the city to find me and Yingying, is there martial law at the north gate?" ”

"Nope." Zhang Bao's eyes were firm for a while, and then he scratched his head a little embarrassed and said, "I remember very clearly that day, it was Zhao Tong who was inspecting, and I almost fought with him." ”

"So according to that, martial law at the North Gate seems to have happened recently?" Liu Chan frowned, gently picked up the teacup on the desk, took a sip of tea, and seemed to be muttering to himself.

"What happened to martial law at the North Gate?" Looking at Liu Chan's contemplative appearance, Zhang Bao stared at his big eyes and was even more puzzled.

At this time, Guan Ping's quiet voice suddenly sounded outside the door.

"Brother Zhang Bao, do you have time in the afternoon? Let's go hunting together, shall we? Guan Ping said as he gently pushed open the door of the living room.

Guan Ping, who had a beautiful face, just walked into the living room and found that Liu Chan was actually here, and his heart was shocked, he was not like Zhang Bao who saw Liu Chan with a big grin, but hurriedly saluted: "See Your Majesty." ”

Liu Chan looked at Guan Ping, who saluted him calmly, waved his hand lightly and said with a smile: "It's okay, this is not in the palace, hurry up and sit down." ”

Guan Ping nodded and sat next to Zhang Bao.

At this time, before Liu Chan could speak, Zhang Bao next to him couldn't help but look at Guan Ping and asked, "Do you know when martial law was imposed at the North Gate?" ”

"North Gate?" Guan Ping, who had just sat down, looked a little puzzled, then looked at Zhang Bao and Liu Chan's curious eyes, and slowly shook his head.

"Didn't you say that Nanzhong has been in chaos lately? Are you afraid that the thieves in Nanzhong will enter the city, so" Guan Ping couldn't help but look at Liu Chan and explained.

"I also know about the recent turmoil in Nanzhong, but the north gate is close to the mainland, shouldn't it be so strict?" Liu Chan put down the teacup and said slowly.

"This" Guan Ping and Zhang Bao glanced at each other, and their hearts were also full of doubts.

"Ugh." Liu Chan sighed, pondered for a moment, and then looked at the two of them and said, "Adou, please ask the two of you for one thing." ”

"If there is anything to ask for, you can just open your mouth if there is anything to use us." Zhang Bao patted his chest and looked at Liu Chan categorically.

Liu Chan nodded slowly, and said solemnly: "You guys recently helped me inquire about the martial law at the North Gate!" ”

"And." Liu Chan paused for a moment, and there was a hint of resoluteness in his dark eyes, "The three of us know about this, no matter what you hear, don't tell anyone, including Father!" ”

Zhang Bao and Guan Ping's bodies were shocked, and they also heard from Liu Chan's tone that martial law at the North Gate may not be so simple, but after all, they are courtiers of the Han Kingdom, and their father is still a sworn brother, and the three of them are playmates, so they naturally choose to help Liu Chan.

Thinking of this, the two of them didn't speak, but just nodded heavily to Liu Chan.

"Please, two of you." Liu Chan also hugged the two of them and apologized, there were still people to help him at this time, Liu Chan was also moved, and at the same time exhaled slowly.

And just when Liu Chan instructed Zhang Bao and Guan Ping to help him investigate why martial law was imposed at the North Gate, in the living room of the Prime Minister's Mansion at this time, there were two people kneeling next to the desk, as if they were discussing something.

One of the cases was dressed in gray brocade, and it was naturally Zhuge Liang who was fanning a feather fan for a while, and opposite Zhuge Liang was also kneeling a middle-aged man in a dark brocade robe, who was silent with his head down at this time, this person was Zhuge Liang's right-hand man Jiang Wan.

"Prime Minister, it seems that Nanzhong doesn't want to compromise with us!" Jiang Wan's deep voice revealed a hint of helplessness.

"It's just a rabble who have been bewitched by Eastern Wu, if it weren't for the return of our first emperor of the Han Dynasty to heaven, His Majesty is young now, and the army has not recovered after the last defeat, how can these rabble be allowed to go unpunished."

"Then, will Dongwu take this opportunity to unite with Nanzhong to plot against our Han?" Jiang Wan looked at Zhuge Liang, his heart hesitated for a while, and he couldn't help but guess.

"Hehehe." Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and chuckled a few times, and slowly spoke: "The north is still the Wei thief, unless the Eastern Wu brings about its own destruction, otherwise they will not continue to be unfavorable to our Han." ”

Jiang Wan listened to Zhuge Liang's words, nodded slowly and pondered.

"By the way?"

While Jiang Wan was pondering, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but ask, "How is the matter of requisitioning grain?" ”

Jiang Wan hurriedly collected his thoughts and replied honestly: "Xiaguan has already instructed Xiaguan's nephew to do it, and it is going well." ”

"Well, I don't have to worry about what you do, if you have any difficulties, you can report to me, right now there is General Li Yan stationed in Nanzhong, we have to accumulate grain and grass, and I will definitely go to this rabble in Nanzhong to ask for an explanation in the spring of next year!" Zhuge Liang's voice slowly became deeper, and there was a hint of sternness in his eyes.

Jiang Wan was in his heart for a while, and hurriedly arched his hand and said: "The lower officials will definitely do their best to do a good job in the matter of requisitioning grain, please rest assured." ”

Zhuge Liang put away the sternness in his eyes, slowly showed a trace of gentleness in his eyes, and nodded lightly to Jiang Wan
