Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Arrogant Fa Rectification
Zhang Cheng supported his head with one hand, swayed his body with the carriage, looked ahead with his eyes, and said nothing. Sun Shao was lying in the car, breathing steadily and looking quiet.
"Bong-first." Zhang Cheng screamed softly.
"Hmm." Sun Shao replied softly.
"Are you really going to live like this for the rest of your life?" Zhang Cheng straightened up, turned his head, and stared at Sun Shao's eyes without blinking. Sun Shao's eyelids twitched, he slowly opened his eyes, looked at Zhang Cheng, and a smile provoked at the corner of his mouth: "What is Brother Zhong worried about?" ”
The corners of Zhang Cheng's eyes jumped, he was indeed worried. He is proficient in music, although he drank too much wine last night, but as soon as he listened to Sun Shao's flute song, he heard that it was a transposed "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix", and his heart suddenly became a little more vigilant - fortunately, he didn't know that Sun Shao had climbed over the wall to see Guan Feng, otherwise it would not be just vigilant. Originally, he was very grateful to Sun Shao for recommending him as an envoy, but now it seems that something is quite wrong along the way. Sun Shao made such a fuss in front of Guan Yu's Taishou Mansion, as if he didn't do it randomly, he came prepared. If this is the case, then it will not be so simple for him to pass on Ge Xuan's sitting and forgetting technique to Lu Su.
And it is very dangerous to befriend a heavy general like Lu Su as Sun Shao, and now Sun Shao still wants to marry Guan Yu, it will be even more devastating, and he Zhang Cheng is not willing to wade into this troubled water. Although it is a pity that he can't become an official, he rebelled with Sun Shao and threw his whole family's life into it, which is too expensive. At least in his opinion, Sun Shao has no chance at all.
"Feng Xian, there are some things I want to hear from you." Zhang Cheng said very cautiously.
"You say." Sun Shao nodded nonchalantly.
"Do you have a heart for Guan Feng?"
"Hmm." Sun Shao didn't hide his intentions, and nodded calmly.
Zhang Cheng narrowed his eyes, glared at Sun Shao angrily, and his tone was very unhappy: "When did you have this thought?" ”
"Yesterday." Sun Shao's face was not red, his heart was not beating, and he couldn't see any hypocrisy. "I've heard my aunt talk about her before, but I don't believe that there is such a woman in this world, and when I saw her yesterday, I believed it, so I was moved." He sat up and tidied up his clothes, then turned his head to look at Zhang Cheng and asked, "Is there any problem?" ”
Zhang Cheng was a little confused about whether Sun Shao was true or false, judging from his face, it didn't seem like lying, although the Han was polite, it was not uncommon for men and women to fall in love at first sight. Sun Shao and Guan Feng are of the same age, and they are both talented and beautiful women with both civil and military skills, so they are more suitable for Guan Feng than Sun Deng, and it can be seen from Guan Yu's eyes when he looked at Sun Shao just now that Guan Yu, who has always been above the top, also has a little appreciation for Sun Shao. Zhang Cheng thought about it for a long time, and felt that if he really wanted Sun Liu to join forces, it might be more likely to let Sun Shao and Guan Feng get married, after all, Sun Deng was too young, even if Guan Yu agreed, it would be difficult to keep a perfunctory meaning.
"Fengxian, I don't object to the matter between you and Guan Feng, on the contrary, I think it may be a good thing for Jiangdong." Zhang Cheng said carefully, "However, I want to remind you that there are a lot of difficulties in this matter, not to mention what the Supreme will think, even if the Supreme agrees, then the price you pay is not small." ”
Sun Shao didn't answer him, but scratched the tips of his hair, leaned against the wall of the car, looked at the grass and trees outside from the window, and after a while, he said lightly: "Isn't it just that you are not allowed to lead soldiers?" Even if I don't marry Guan Feng, I won't be able to bring soldiers. As he spoke, he turned around again, and said a little absent-mindedly: "Brother Zhong, you can report how you want, and there is no need to hide it anyway." I'm so old that it's normal to like a woman, and as for what the final result will be, it's not on my list. ”
Zhang Cheng smiled bitterly and shook his head again and again, he felt that Sun Shao was also quite pitiful, obviously he had good skills, but he had no room to show his skills, and he had to guard against suspicion everywhere, at this age, Sun Quan's uncle did not marry him for him, and now he has a fancy to a person, but he is the daughter of an ally and a heavy general, it seems so impossible.
"Bong-first." Zhang Cheng slowed down his breath and persuaded him with good words: "I just want to remind you that Guan Yu's identity is very sensitive, if you marry Guan Feng, then not only the Supreme will have to guard against you, even if the Supreme doesn't guard against you, others will also remind the Supreme." You really don't have any place to get ahead. ”
Sun Shao turned his head and looked at Zhang Cheng, as if he didn't believe his words, and after a while, he suddenly smiled: "Then you are wrong, I didn't think about anything, I just wanted to be my clan in peace, if the Supreme can win the world, maybe I can still get a throne, neither hard work, nor hard work, why don't I do it?" ”
Zhang Cheng was stunned, he couldn't believe Sun Shao's words, could it be that Sun Shao was using this to show Sun Quan that he really had no ambitions and really wanted to be a happy man? He didn't dare to make this judgment, and of course he didn't dare to report it to Sun Quan immediately, after all, this was just Sun Shao's unilateral idea, what Guan Yu thought was still unknown, there were too many relationships involved in this family matter, and it was too early to draw conclusions.
However, if Sun Shao's words are true, then there is no danger for him to associate with Sun Shao. On the contrary, because Sun Shao doesn't need credit, then all the credit is his, and Sun Shao just contributed in vain. According to this, Sun Shao's gift to Lu Su through his hand also makes sense.
I hope so.
The next ten days were as calm as ever, Zhang Cheng and Sun Shao no longer mentioned that incident, they only discussed Zuo Chuan Spring and Autumn, that is, they talked about some gossip. Sun Shao is still working so hard, with the attitude of being a doctor of Spring and Autumn, and asks Zhang Cheng for benefits every day. In addition, he asked Zhang Cheng for Hanshu, and Zhang Cheng was also happy to have an audience, so he took advantage of his free time to give a lecture to Sun Shao.
In early December, they arrived in Chengdu.
Chengdu is the same as Jianye, the atmosphere is very tense, you can see heavily armed soldiers everywhere, the people hurried by, even if they stopped to speak, there were only a few words, Zhang Cheng and Sun Shao glanced at each other, and their hearts were secretly happy. This shows that the war in Ba County is tight, Liu Bei is a little anxious, and the possibility of a successful proposal has greatly increased.
According to Lu Su's instructions, Zhang Cheng and Sun Shao went to visit Fa Zheng first with generous gifts.
Fa Zheng is of medium stature, with a thin face, two slender eyes, eyebrows that are always shaking when looking at people, and deep and long grooves on both sides of the nose, making the whole face look very arrogant. He stood on the steps, looked at Zhang Cheng and Sun Shao condescendingly, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "It turned out to be the son of Zhang Zhao in Pengcheng, and he is really a talent." ”
Sun Shao stood behind Zhang Cheng, obviously feeling Zhang Cheng's body stiffen for a moment, and then relaxed again. Zhang Chenglang laughed loudly: "I can't bear to have a skin, and I have some false fame, how can I compare with the general." The general assists General Zuo, stabilizes Yizhou, is the mastermind internally, and dominates the capital externally, with a far-reaching reputation and a megatron in the world, and it is beyond the reach of the dust. ”
The corners of Fazheng's eyes twitched, revealing a satisfied smile. He immediately looked at Sun Shao again, and smiled even more: "Captain Sun is very skilled, and he called for battle in front of General Guan, but he was unscathed, which is unheard of." ”
Sun Shao smiled: "Shao is just the courage of the horseman, General Guan has the intention of caring for the younger generations, and he is not too much, so Shao has become such a false name, and he can enter the eyes of the general." ”
Fa Zheng laughed twice, turned around and sat down in the lobby, then waved his hand and motioned for Zhang Cheng and Sun Shao to take a seat, he was silent for a moment, and glanced at Zhang Cheng again: "Your intention, General Guan has already sent someone to inform the lord." Honestly, that's your idea...... Hehe...... It's a bit of a. ”
Zhang Cheng's face was a little uncontrollable. I only knew that Fazheng was arrogant, but I didn't expect Fazheng to be arrogant to this point, and he said Jiangdong's idea in front of him, which was as uncomfortable as slapping him. But he remained silent and bowed: "Please also ask the general for advice." ”
Fa Zheng saw that Zhang Cheng was still respectful and very useful, and his tone eased a lot. While fiddling with the book on the case, he said: "Jiangdong wants to reconcile with my Yizhou, which is a good thing, but Mrs. Sun's matter is in front, and my father-in-law has to think about it more." Moreover, General Guan is the governor of Jingzhou's military and is an important general who is released, even if the lord trusts him, how can he not avoid suspicion? It would be strange if you did not refuse to marry him. ”
Zhang Cheng hurriedly explained: "What the general pointed out was that it was my Jiangdong who was negligent. However, my general's willingness to reconcile with General Zuo is sincere. I heard that the general had won the trust of General Zuo and obeyed his words, and asked the general to make a lot of kind remarks for the sake of the difficulty of the Yaskuni Communion, so as to promote this matter. ”
Fa Zheng glanced at the rich gift list on the case, and said proudly: "Don't worry about this, although Fa Zheng is not talented, he still knows the general situation." Although Liu and Sun have discord with each other, they are allies, so they should seek common ground while reserving differences and discuss great plans. I'll go to the palace to see General Zuo right away, and you can wait to summon you." ”
"Thank you, General."
