That Huang Chengyan is a Jingxiang master, and his wife is Mrs. Cai's sister, so he was invited by Liu Biao to come to the banquet. The pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info had also heard about the deeds of "Jiangdong Sun Lang" before, and knew that Sun Lang was a rising talent who was famous in Jiangdong. But Huang Chengyan thought that he was a recluse in the world, and he didn't want to take the initiative to make friends with Sun Lang, but when he saw that Sun Lang was respectfully saluting him, without the slightest arrogance of a famous person, he couldn't help but feel slightly satisfied, so he stroked his beard and smiled: "What virtue and ability can the old man be a mountain and wild horseman, how can he dare to be worshiped by Sun Gongzi?" Childe quickly got up and excused himself. ”

Sun Lang still bowed slightly, and said, "No, no, no!" As the saying goes: the bird flies far away with the phoenix, and the person is proud of the virtuous and virtuous. Those who are close to Zhu are red, those who are close to ink are black, and they have to meet Gaoxian today in their later lives, which is really the luck of three lives, how can they be lost by handing over their arms? He knew that Huang Chengyan was a master, so he spoke in an ancient tone, making him seem to be a scholar.

"Hahaha!" Huang Chengyan looked up to the sky and said to Liu Biao: "Hmm! This Sun Gongzi is really a modest and studious latecomer! ”

Liu Biao was even more happy: "Naturally, naturally, when has this official ever looked at people?" Hahaha! ”

Huang Chengyan wanted to take the test for Sun Lang, so he asked Sun Lang again: "Sun Gongzi said that I am a wise man, but does Gongzi know where the old man is?" ”

This is a difficult question to answer, and if you don't pay attention to it, you may disagree and break up. Sun Lang pondered for a moment, then smiled confidently: "Although he was reckless in his later life, he knew that there was a saying called 'small hidden in the mountains and forests, and big hidden in the city'." Therefore, there are two kinds of hermits in this world, some people see through fame and fortune, live in seclusion in the empty valley and secluded forest, indulge in paradise, to avoid the noise and strife of the world, this is called a small hermit. And some people live in the noisy world, although they are in the noisy world, but they can be wise and foolish, indifferent, just like a lotus flower growing out of the mud, out of the mud but not stained, clear ripples but not demons. This latter kind of person is a person like Mr. Huang, who can be called a real hermit, a real wise man, and a real master. ”

Sun Lang's flattery did not show any traces of slapping horses, but he mixed all kinds of later generations with a spoonful of stew, which instantly raised Huang Chengyan's compulsion a lot, and Huang Chengyan and Liu Biao, who listened directly, clapped their hands and laughed. Huang Chengyan is indeed a famous hermit in the world, although he is talented, he is unwilling to join the same stream in the officialdom, and after hearing this, he admires Sun Lang for three points, surprises for three points, and loves three points.

In this way, the old and the young, sitting next to each other, chatting about the ground, talking about ghosts and gods, talking about the general trend of the world, and talking about the heroes of the world, they actually formed a friendship.

During this period, Liu Biao only cared about the flirtatious dancing girl who hugged left and right, and didn't listen to what they were talking about at all. Huang Chengyan talked about Xing, and when he saw Liu Biao distracted, he smiled and said to Sun Lang: "The so-called marriage alliance between the Cao and Sun families before Gongzi is actually a lie to scare Liu Jingsheng, but in fact, there is no such thing at all, yes or no?" ”

Sun Lang's heart sank, and he pretended to be confused and said, "What does Mr. Huang mean?" ”

"Hahaha!" Huang Chengyan stroked his beard and laughed: "The son has deceived others, but he can't fool the old man!" Lao Yu knew that although Cao Mengde was extremely ambitious, he was surrounded by Yuan Shao, Lu Bu, Zhang Xiu, and Liu Bei, and he would definitely not attack Jingzhou, which posed the least threat to him. Although Sun Bofu is determined to be in the world, he will first attack Wang Lang, who is a member of the garrison, and will not come to attack Jingzhou first. Am I right? ”

Sun Lang saw that his lie was exposed by him, so he still pretended to say: "How did Mr. Huang forget the edict of the Son of Heaven?" The marriage of the two families of Cao and Sun is an indisputable fact written on that jade silk. ”

Huang Chengyan's old eyes were full of treacherous light, and he said with a smile: "Hahaha, although the edict of the Son of Heaven is true, the reason why Cao Mengde wants to marry the Sun family is just to let the Sun family send another person as a hostage to stay in Xu Du while winning over Sun Bofu, so as to blackmail and control the Sun family and prevent it from developing troops to the north!" ”

Sun Lang was taken aback when he heard this, but he didn't expect that Huang Chengyan could calculate everything, and hurriedly said in horror: "The old gentleman whispered, don't let Lord Liu Jingsheng hear this!" ”

Huang Chengyan laughed, pointed at Liu Biao and said: "Liu Jingsheng is fascinated by the beauty and wine, and it is difficult to achieve great things!" The two of us are talking here, but he only knows that he has beautiful women for fun, and in the long run, Jingzhou will definitely become the land of Cao and Sun! Childe, don't worry, as you said, the old man is a hermit, and he has long looked down on the fame and fortune in the world, how could he tell Liu Jingsheng the truth about these mysteries? ”

Sun Lang threw himself on this five-body body that Huang Chengyan admired, and thought to himself, why not recruit him to assist him? But when he thinks about it, he is a hidden master, and he doesn't even want to assist relatives like Liu Biao, so how can he go out of the mountain to assist him? He could only smile and say: "Mr. Huang is really like a god!" Let the late students admire, admire! It's a pity...... Ay! ”

Huang Chengyan smiled: "What? Why did Childe sigh? ”

Sun Lang thrashed his fists and said: "It's a pity that I am the one who was chosen as a hostage, this time I went to Xu Capital to get married, I will definitely be detained by Cao Mengde for a long time, I don't know what year and month I can return to Jiangdong again, thinking of this, so I am sad......"

Huang Chengyan shook his head and said, "No, no, no!" I see that the son has a blessed face, and there is a faint kingly aura between his eyebrows, and he will definitely not be buried in Xudu! Gongzi listened to my advice, and when he arrived in Xudu this time, he must not act in a low-key manner, but must be sharp everywhere, so that Cao Mengde will be impressed, so that there is a possibility of turning back to Jiangdong. ”

"Oh?" Sun Lang felt quite novel about this statement, and hurriedly asked: "Everyone says that low-key behavior can avoid disasters, why does Mr. Huang persuade the late students to be high-profile and sharp-edged everywhere?" ”

Huang Chengyan replied with a smile: "The son doesn't know, then Cao Mengde, the hero of the world!" If the son is mediocre, he will definitely look down on you, and he will leave you aside and ignore you, and he will forget you over time. But if Gongzi is outstanding everywhere and shows his extraordinary talent everywhere, Cao Mengde will look at Gongzi differently and cherish his talents, so that Gongzi will be safe and safe everywhere. ”

Sun Lang felt that Huang Chengyan's words were amazing, but every sentence was to the point. Indeed, it is clearly written in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that Cao Mengdesheng captured Guan Yunchang, not only did not kill him, but treated him with great courtesy. In the end, Guan Yu passed five passes and killed six generals, and Cao Mengde not only did not send troops to encircle and suppress, but personally rode a horse to send it away.

Isn't he like Guan Yunchang, trapped in Cao Ying, but thinking about Jiangdong?

Thinking of this, Sun Lang was slightly excited, and he couldn't wait to arrive in Xudu as soon as possible, talk to the traitor Cao Mengde in court, and strive to be a blockbuster, so as to live up to his good youth.

Huang Chengyan and Sun Lang chatted speculatively, and in the evening, the cups and plates that everyone else had drunk were messy and drunk, and they still talked on their knees. Seeing that at night, it was pitch black outside the hall, and even the chirping of grass insects had sounded, Huang Chengyan arched his hand and smiled: "The son and the old man hate to see each other late, and they talk so speculatively, but it is late tonight, and the old man has to rush back to Zhuangzi, so he can only say goodbye." ”

Sun Lang felt very reluctant, and sighed busily: "This farewell, I don't know if we can see each other again in this life and this life." ”

Huang Chengyan looked up to the sky and laughed, and said: "Don't worry, the old man has a manor thirty miles north of Xiangyang City, which is the only way to go to Xudu through Xiangyang North, and the son will leave here early tomorrow morning, passing by the manor, why not spend a few days at my house?" Let's talk for three more days and three nights, what do you think? ”

Sun Lang was overjoyed when he heard this, made a few gestures to Huang Chengyan, reluctantly sent him out of Liu's mansion, and personally helped him into the carriage, and stopped for a long time before turning back.

Unexpectedly, it was Huang Chengyan's words of invitation that made Sun Lang meet a peerless master who was one of the best in the Three Kingdoms period.
