"Senior brother, how did you find out that person is a powerful minister?"

Ma Hong looked at Zhuge Liang with a smile, seducing him step by step, if Zhuge Liang knew that he was evaluating himself now, what kind of mood would it be.

"Didn't that person say that the first emperor was cautious, so he sent his ministers to major events. Now he has said to the emperor that he wants to go on a northern expedition, this is not what a minister is, but a minister who is very modest and very good at hiding himself. And it's okay to write articles, which is a little higher than your junior brother. ”

Zhuge Liang analyzed while adjusting the straw hat on his head.

Ma Hong laughed out loud after hearing this.

"Senior brother, what are you laughing at, am I not right?"

Zhuge Liang asked.

"I think you're right, but what do you think of Quanchen?"

Ma Hong continued to seduce Zhuge Liang and said.

Zhuge Liang stretched out his hand and dragged his chin to think seriously for a while, and then said, "I don't like it." ”

The kingfisher flew past the water, holding a small fish in its mouth, and there was not a drop of water on its bright wings in the setting sun. The sound of the sheep bleating not far away came, and then the barking of the dogs in the village gradually began, and the barking of the dogs and the other dogs also barked, and the smoke rose, and the whole mountain village looked so peaceful in the setting sun. In this troubled world, Shuijing Villa is like a paradise, isolated from the war, and the villagers are living happily. Wang Xiaoer, who was collecting firewood, carried the firewood, saw Ma Hong and Zhuge Liang nodding with a smile, and distributed the sour dates picked from the mountain to Ma Hong and Zhuge Liang; Aunt Sun, who was washing clothes by the pond, saw Zhuge Liang and Ma Hong and asked them if they had changed their clothes; A group of barefoot children playing in the village ran over and hugged Ma Hong's legs, and Ma Hong smiled and distributed the sour dates picked by Wang Xiaoer to them. There are a total of 43 families in the village, a total of 167 people, and the people have great respect for Mr. Shuijing's students, and of course even more respect for Mr. Shuijing.

There is a primary school in the village, Ma Hong and others will give lectures to the children in the school when they are free, and now the only person who guards the school every day is Shi Tao, Shi Tao is a friend of Xu Shu, he has not yet become a disciple of Mr. Shuijing, so he teaches the children to read and write in the school every day. In the past, Xi Zhen also did it here, but Xi Zhen gave up, and Shi Tao has not given up. When the girls in the village saw Ma Hong and Zhuge Liang coming over, the bold girls would look at them a few more times.

The light faded, and darkness pressed against the villa, and Mr. Water Mirror's house was dark. Ma Hong, Pang Tong, and Zhuge Liang glanced at each other, wondering if the teacher had already slept.

"Come in!" Mr. Mirror's voice came from the room, and then the oil lamp came on.

Ma Hong and the others first knocked on the door and then pushed the door, and after entering the door, they saluted Mr. Shui Jing in turn, and the three of them were sitting and waiting for Mr. Shui Jing to speak.

"I'm calling the three of you tonight because I have a task for you, and you can choose to do it or not."

Mr. Shui Jing was playing with three cobblestones in both hands at the same time, one in his left hand and two in his right hand, and the light was dim, so he couldn't see his eyes clearly.

"Please ask the teacher." Ma Hong and others.

Mr. Shui Jing snorted, put the round stones in his hand in front of Ma Hong and the others, and then said, "This task is not easy and safe. ”

Ma Hong looked at the round stone in front of him, it was Tian Huangshi, the first time he and Pang Tong took the task was Qingtian stone, and now Zhuge Liang just came to take Tian Huangshi, it seems that the teacher also attaches great importance to Zhuge Liang.

Mr. Shui Jing saw that the disciples were all calm, Zhuge Liang answered his eyes, Ma Hong's eyes were staring at Tian Huangshi, and Pang Tong's eyes were looking at Zhuge Liang's hand. He continued: "Zhang Xiu guarded Wancheng, the gateway to Jingzhou, for him, and Liu Biao received news that Zhang Xiu would surrender to Cao Cao in the near future. So Liu Biao wrote me a letter. ”

When Pang Tong heard this, his eyes instantly withdrew from Zhuge Liang's hand, and just as he wanted to speak, Zhuge Liang had already spoken: "Does General Liu want the teacher to help prevent Zhang Xiu from surrendering to Cao Cao?" ”

Mr. Shui Jing hummed and said: "Exactly, Zhang Xiu took Liu Biao's money and grain, and occupied Wancheng, and now he wants to raise troops to surrender to Cao Cao, Liu Biao naturally can't sit still." ”

Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "Then this is General Liu's own business, why did he write to the teacher." ”

Ma Hong also wants to ask this question, why does the teacher want to do things for Liu Biao, what is going on? Teacher Fei is Liu Biao's person.

"I owe Liu Biao a favor and want to pay it back." Mr. Shui Jing said calmly.

Ma Hong and the three of them were silent.

"Are you willing to repay this favor for the teacher?" Mr. Shui Jing asked.

Ma Hong bowed his head to the ground and took the lead in saying: "The teacher's kindness in passing on the profession, teaching the Tao, and solving doubts cannot be repaid. The disciple is willing to go to Wancheng. ”

Pang Tong then bowed his head and said, "The disciple is also willing to go." ”

Pang Tong was fooled by Jia Xu last time in Yucheng, and after returning to Shuijing Villa, he was punished by the teacher for grinding stones for more than half a year, and if he wanted to stop Zhang Xiu, he would inevitably be an enemy with Jia Xu, just enough to avenge the last time.

However, only Zhuge Liang was hesitating, his eyes flickered, his fingers rubbed the corners of his clothes and said, "Teacher, to be honest, the disciple is unwilling to help Liu Biao." ”

Mr. Shui Jing nodded and said, "I know that your uncle's death is related to Liu Biao, and you don't want to help him, I naturally understand." But have you thought clearly, if you want to go to Wancheng, you will face Cao Cao, as well as my junior brother Jia Xu, don't you want to meet them? ”

Zhuge Liang's eyes lit up and said, "The disciple thinks." ”

Mr. Shui Jing smiled slightly: "You just think you will go with their thoughts, how about it?" ”

"Teacher Xie instructs."

Zhuge Liang leaned over and bowed to Mr. Shuijing.

Mr. Shui Jing nodded with a smile, stood up, walked into the inner room, and after a while, he walked out with a Han sword in his hand and put it in Ma Hong's hand and said: "Ma Hong, you want to practice swordsmanship the most, and you have also learned swordsmanship with your senior brother Liu Ye, but Liu Ye's swordsmanship is not proficient, and he can't teach you anything." This sword is the teacher's saber when he was young, you can use it! ”

"Thank you, teacher." Ma Hong thanked him.

"Even if you take the teacher's sword, the teacher will tell you a truth about using a sword, and the sword is easy to break if you often draw the sword."

Mr. Shui Jing touched his left hand and said to Ma Hong with his right hand.

"The students remembered." Ma Hong replied respectfully.

After Mr. Shui Jing finished speaking, he took out a worn-out book from the table and handed it to Pang Tong and said, "Pang Tong, this book records the people and things I encountered when I was young, you can read more if it's okay, it's very useful to you." ”

Pang Tong took the book with both hands and thanked Mr. Shui Jing.

Then, Mr. Shui Jing said: "The people recorded in this book are all dead people, and I have marked the reasons for their deaths, and the things recorded on it are all interesting things, you can read them as stories." ”

Mr. Shui Jing did not give Zhuge Liang anything at that time, but said to the three of them: "Cao Mengde is called a hero, and it is very difficult to deal with, and Jia Xu is my junior brother, I know his ability, you have to deal with it carefully." ”

"Yes!" The three of them responded in unison.

Then Mr. Shui Jing took out a bag from his arms and handed it to Zhuge Liang, and then said, "Keep this bag, this bag is for the three of you, open it when necessary." ”

Ma Hong and the three of them all nodded yes, and Mr. Shui Jing continued: "After the three of you arrive in Wancheng, someone will come to pick you up, but it is not Liu Biao's people, it is our mountain villa's people, you don't have to be afraid of being exposed." ”

Ma Hong secretly said in his heart: How many secrets are hidden in the teacher's body.

When the three of them pushed open the door and were about to leave, Mr. Shui Jing's voice came again: "Zhuge Liang, your horse is too old and too thin, and the horse that the teacher gave you will be tied to your residence." ”

Zhuge Liang turned around and saluted Mr. Shui Jing, and then unified with Ma Hongpang and walked into the night. After Ma Hong and the others left, the oil lamp in Mr. Shui Jing's house was still on, and after about half a pillar of incense, Xu Shu knocked on Mr. Shui Jing's door.
