When he was less than a mile away from Wancheng, Ma Hong got off his horse, walked to the stone on the side of the road, took out a book to pat the dust off the stone, and then beckoned Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong to sit down.

"Can't we go into town together?" Zhuge Liang asked.

"Why did Senior Brother Zhuge ask that?" Pang Tong asked with some confusion.

Zhuge Liang knocked on the stone with a bamboo pole and said, "If we can enter the city together, why do you stop in this place." ”

Ma Hong nodded and said, "Senior Brother Zhuge is very right, we can't go into the city together, because last year Pang Tong and I met with our senior uncle Jia Xu in the city. If the three of us enter the city like this, if we are all seen by Jia Xu's eyes, we won't ......."

Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "How can Uncle Jia's eyeliner know you, isn't it holding your portrait?" Are we that important? ”

Ma Honggang wanted to speak, but at this time, Pang Tong preemptively said: "Uncle Jia only needs to say to the guards at the city gate to pay attention to a young man with a very conspicuous appearance, and by the way, also take care of the people around him, I think we will be targeted." ”

It's also appropriate to be conspicuous, but if Ma Hong is asked to say it, he will say that he should pay attention to a young man who looks very ugly, and by the way, pay attention to the people around the ugly man. Zhuge Liang was said by Pang Tong, and he instantly understood, and he forced a smile and said, "It seems that the two senior brothers have thought it through. ”

Ma Hong nodded and said, "That's what I think, Senior Brother Zhuge you go to the city, and after entering the city, you will go to the restaurant that the teacher said to meet the person who picked us up." Then Pang Tong entered the city again, but don't go to Senior Brother Zhuge immediately after entering the city, because you are too conspicuous, if Uncle Jia has a little heart, maybe he will catch you. ”

Pang Tong sighed and said, "Can I go in disguise?" I've already got my clothes ready. ”

Zhuge Liang coughed dryly and said, "Senior Brother Pang, I don't think it's better for you to dress up." ”

"Because it's useless if you're dressed up." Ma Hong followed Zhuge Liang's words.

Pang Tong touched his nose, pursed his lips, picked up the wine jug and took a sip of wine, sat on the stone and stopped talking.

"Brother Ma, how do you act?" Zhuge Liang asked.

Ma Hong smiled and said, "We agreed to meet in the tavern at noon the day after tomorrow." When they are separated, they collect their own messages. ”

Zhuge Liang nodded and asked, "I understand." ”

At this time, Pang Tong sighed and said: "Ma Laosan, in fact, I don't really understand, what kind of person the teacher is, I originally thought he was just a hermit, but I didn't expect ......"

"I think when we meet the people who have been picked up by our teachers, they will tell us something we should know," Ma said. ”

Zhuge Liang nodded, climbed on the horse, and arched his hand at Ma Hongyi and said, "Senior Brother Ma, this saddle you made is a good thing, and I will go to the city first." ”

Ma Hong waved his hand at Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong raised the wine jug towards Zhuge Liang, and the two watched him enter the city.

"Ma Laosan, are you waiting for someone here?"

Pang Tong asked.

Ma Hong smiled slightly and said, "How do you know everything." ”

Pang Tong handed the wine jug to Ma Hong and said, "I watched the pigeon you raise fly away." ”

Ma Hong smiled and said, "Do you want to wait with me, the person I'm waiting for will bring me good wine." ”

Pang Tong shook his head and said, "There is also good wine in Wancheng, if I really can't find good wine, I will go to Uncle Jia's house to ask for some." ”

Ma Hong's pupils dilated instantly, and he said, "Do you want to expose yourself?" ”

Pang Tong smiled: "I won't go to Uncle Jia immediately, I will only let him meet me at the right time, and then invite me to drink." When the time comes, I'll pester him, and you guys can do it. ”

Ma Hong shook his head and said, "Uncle Jia is not so easy to entangle, you should understand." ”

Pang Tong nodded and said: "Listening to the meaning of the teacher's words, it may be that Uncle Jia persuaded Zhang Xiu to surrender to Cao Cao, then he will definitely be on guard, and I am so conspicuous, it is only a matter of time before I meet him." However, Uncle Jia Xu probably didn't expect us to come, even if he expected us to come, but Senior Brother Zhuge must have been unexpected. ”

Ma Hong smiled and did not speak. Pang Tong got on his horse, drank wine and waved at Ma Hong, and left.

Inside Wancheng, it was a cold city, the inhabitants were hungry, the soldiers were patrolling indifferently, the sun was warm, but there was no expression on their faces. This city, which once belonged to the capital of Jingzhou, was once stationed here, but Liu Biao intercepted the grain route and was forced to leave. When Yuan Shu left, he swept away a large amount of property, although it was not like Dong Zhuo burning Luoyang, but it also greatly damaged Wancheng's vitality.

Jia Mansion, under the pear tree. Jia Xu held a bowl of noodle soup in both hands and drank it slowly, Jia Xu is fifty years old this year, and a fifty-year-old person is already a person who has lived a long time in this era.

"Hey, this kid, I'm putting dates in my noodle soup again, and I said I don't eat dates anymore."

Jia Xu said as he spoke, grabbed a red date with chopsticks and put it in the bowl of the middle-aged man sitting next to him, the middle-aged man smiled, took the red date and put it in his mouth.

"Time flies, isn't it, junior brother." Jia Xu asked.

The middle-aged man put down the bowl, grabbed a handful of soil from the ground and said slowly: "The wind in Xiliang is very hard, and the loess in Xiliang is also hard, but my heart is no longer hard, grasping the loess of Jingxiang, feeling the humidity, I want to go back to Xiliang again." ”

Jia Xu put down the bowl, leaned against the pear tree, patted his leg, and said to the middle-aged man: "Wenyou, now that Dong Zhuo is dead, why do you bother to follow Li Dao again." I think that Li Dao will be destroyed by Cao Cao sooner or later. When Dong Zhuo had not yet entered Luoyang, he was still a tiger, but once he entered the splendid palace, he became a pig, and Li Dao and Guo Yan were wolves at most, and the pigs turned into wolves were not as good as the pigs that tigers turned into. ”

The middle-aged man was Li Ru, who was also Mr. Shuijing's junior brother. Li Ru sighed, shook his head and said, "I don't know, this time I came to see Senior Brother, and then I went to Xiangyang to see Senior Brother, and I will spend the rest of my life in the mountains." ”

Jia Xu smiled slightly and said, "Senior brother, do you want to live in Senior Brother's villa?" ”

Li Ru nodded, sighed and said, "My heart is old. ”

Jia Xu smiled slightly: "I thought that junior brother would be my companion?" ”

Li Ru said: "I poisoned Your Majesty's brother, Your Majesty is now in Cao Cao's hands, and the senior brother wants to take refuge in Cao Cao, how can I go to Cao Cao, not to mention that Your Majesty hates me to the bone, but Cao Cao will not let me go!" ”

"Senior brother, do you remember what the teacher said about the three of us?"

Jia Xu squinted, and the fox's eyes were full of memories.

Li Ru stroked his beard and said, "How can you not remember, the teacher said that I was a snake, that the senior brother was a fox, and that the senior brother was a fish." ”

"Snakes and fish are the closest animals to dragons, snakes can become dragons after cultivation, and carp can become dragons when they cross the dragon gate."

Jia Xu picked up the bowl with the noodle soup again and took two sips.

Li Ru stroked his beard and smiled, as if there were tears flashing in his eyes, the person that the teacher valued most at the beginning was the senior brother, but it was a pity that the senior brother became the one who was always willing to be a fish. I want to cultivate Jackie Chan, but I just follow the wrong master and do the wrong thing to become a poisonous snake, and I can never become a dragon again. Now that he is a snake, he is notorious, and it is difficult for anyone in the world to be willing to use him, in this case, it is better to hide it between the mountains and the wilderness.

"Senior brother, when you see senior brother, say hello to me, when he doesn't complain about me, I will go to see him."

Jia Xu rubbed his hands and squinted his eyes.

Li Ru nodded, stretched out his hand and pointed to the girl not far away, the girl was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and her appearance was clean, with a round goose egg face, eyes like black paint, black hair up to the waist, and a youthful atmosphere exuded around her body. There was also a young man standing beside the girl, the young man was seven feet three inches long, with a pair of fox eyes like Jia Xu, a beautiful nose, and slightly red cheeks.

"My youngest daughter always likes to dress up as a man, so don't be surprised by my junior brother."

Jia Xu looked at her daughter in men's clothes, shook her head and smiled.

"I mean, senior brother, who do you look like that girl?" Li Ru said.

"I'm getting older, and my eyes are not working. Don't look, your daughter is like you, not like you is like your wife. ”

Jia Xu said with a smile.

Li Ru stood up and said to Jia Xu, "Then Senior Brother might as well take a closer look." ”

Jia Xu stood up and walked towards the two girls with Li Ru, and when the two girls saw their fathers coming, they all saluted the two, but the girl in men's clothes did a man's salute.

Jia Xu took a closer look, the fox's eyes widened instantly, his hands couldn't help but tremble, he looked at Li Ru, and said with a slight tremor at the corner of his mouth: "Mo Fei, this is ......"
