After Zhuge Liang put his heart to heart with Liu Bei, he didn't have to twist and pinch anymore, and agreed to go out of the mountain on the spot.

Liu Bei was so happy at that time, because he saw hope, the person who was called Guan Zhong alive by Sima Hui, Xu Shu and others and could assist him to become the Duke of Qi Huan, finally agreed to go out of the mountain, can he not be happy.

Of course, he is not the only one who is happy, and the second one is a few Fang Shao. After soaking in this countryside where birds don't for more than a year, this time I can finally go out, which is naturally a great joy for a restless person like Fang Shao.

After three days of preparation, it was early in the morning, and the convoy sent by Liu Bei from Fancheng to greet him appeared outside the cottage early, although the little belongings that Zhuge Liang brought with him was not enough to fill a carriage, but at least such a grand greeting formation was enough to fill a little vanity that a person should have.

In addition to his wife, Zhuge Liang decided to bring Fang Shao with him without any suspense, but he decided to leave his younger brother Zhuge in the cottage.

"Third brother, my brother may go out for a long time this time, you take good care of our family's fields and thatched cottages, and after you retire, your sister-in-law and I will come back to retire and farm." Zhuge Liang stood on this side of the chaimen and patted Zhuge Jun's shoulder and instructed.

Zhuge Jun was as simple as ever, but this time he was a little more confused, it seemed that his brother's decision was too hasty, which made him difficult to accept for a while.

"What, third brother, do you have anything to ask me?" Zhuge Liang saw his brother's thoughts.

Zhuge Jun was silent for a long time, and said: "Second brother, I have always had a question, I don't know whether to talk about it or not?" ”

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "You and my brothers, you have something to say." ”

Zhuge Jun then said: "The year before last, when you came back from Jiangdong, you once said that Sun Quan was a master, and the eldest brother also invited you to serve in Jiangdong several times, but why didn't you go to the second brother, wouldn't it be better to have a care between the brothers, could it be that Uncle Liu Huang is really an irreplaceable master?" ”

Zhuge Liang smiled, helped his younger brother and turned around, thinking that he wanted to say something private that would not be heard by outsiders. Fortunately, Fang Shao was closer, and he vaguely heard Zhuge Liang say: "You only know one thing, but you don't know the other." In such a troubled world, the princes of today, it is difficult to guarantee that Ming will not become a prisoner of other people's subordinates, how can our Zhuge clan bet all the chips of prosperity on the princes of one surname, the so-called east is not bright and the west is bright, this truth, you will understand it later. ”

Fang Shao secretly admired when he heard this: "It turns out that he still has this meaning, he doesn't put all his eggs in one basket, this is called diversification, smart." ”

Set off, leave Longzhong, and go straight to Fancheng.

Xiangyang is the seat of Jingzhou, located on the south bank of the Han River, and Fancheng is located on the south bank of the Han River, across the river from Xiangyang, the important surname of Fancheng is self-evident for Xiangyang, and even the important surname of the whole Jingzhou.

Not long before, Liu Biao had ordered Liu Bei to garrison his army in Fancheng as a barrier to defend Xiangyang, and before that, Liu Bei had spent several years in Xinye, north of Jingzhou, until he defeated a one-shot attack by Cao's army led by Xiahoudun at Bowangpo, but he gained Liu Biao's trust and was able to move from Xinye to Fancheng.

Crossing the Han River, Fancheng is in front of you, looking at the city gate from afar, but seeing dozens of people waiting outside the city, looking towards the avenue, it turns out that Liu Bei has led his subordinates and staff to wait outside the city for a long time.

This is the same as looking for a job, the boss appreciated you before and was polite to you, that is because you have not signed a contract, and the two parties are in an equal relationship.

But now that the employment relationship is finalized, it means that the relationship between the master and the minister is determined, and the boss discharges such a big formation to greet him, how dare Zhuge Liang, a subordinate, play a big card again, when there are still more than a dozen steps away, Zhuge Liang immediately jumped out of the car and greeted him with a smile.

Liu Bei was more active, took a few steps to hold Zhuge Liang's hand, and asked with concern: "Mr. has been tired of traveling and driving, and he has worked hard all the way." I have been waiting here for a long time. ”

Zhuge Liang looked flattered on his face, and hurriedly said: "Let the lord come and wait in person, Liang is ashamed and dare not be." ”

Liu Bei laughed calmly, turned around and ordered his subordinates to bring a tall and strong yellow-maned horse, handed the reins to Zhuge Liang with his own hands, and said: "Mr. out of the mountain, it is inevitable that he will go with me in the future, this good horse is personally selected by Mr. yesterday, I don't know if Mr. likes it or not." ”

The subordinates below Guan Zhang on the left and right all showed envy on their faces, although Corporal Liu Bei Lixian was famous, but he could treat this young scholar in front of him with such kindness, and everyone naturally couldn't help but be surprised.

At that moment, Liu Bei turned over and got on his horse and entered the city side by side with Zhuge Liang, while Guan Yu and Zhang Fei could only follow behind, and the displeasure of the two of them was fully revealed.

Zhuge Liang was invited by Liu Bei to the mansion to attend the reception banquet, and of course a small character like Fang Shao had no right to participate, so he had to accompany Huang Yueying back to the house first.

This mansion is said to have been personally selected by Liu Bei for Zhuge Liang, although it is not a wealthy mansion, but it is many times better than the thatched cottage in Zhilongzhong. And Liu Bei is really careful, not only selected the mansion for Zhuge Liang, but also prepared seven or eight male and female servants, and an old housekeeper named Xu Han.

As soon as Fang Shao walked into this gate, he was refreshed, the small place in the grass hall had already suffocated him, such a spacious place was called a place for people to live.

"Welcome Madame home." Steward Xu led a group of servants to welcome the new master inside.

"Excuse yourself, go about your work, and I will call you if there is something." Huang Yueying came from a big family in the end, and when she entered the compound from the thatched hall, she quickly adapted to the new environment and calmly exercised the power of the hostess.

When everyone was about to enter, a car suddenly stopped in front of the house, and it was Zhuge Rong who jumped out of the car.

"Rong'er, why are you here?" Huang Yueying was so happy, and before she could go down the steps, her hand had been brought by Zhuge Rong who jumped forward.

"You forget, Mrs. Xu and I are good sisters, I originally wanted to see her this time, but I heard that Brother Liang also came to Fancheng, so Baba came to see you coming." Zhuge Rong's voice was as if she was singing, and suddenly turned her head to Fang Shao, and said with a smile: "And you, Fang Shao, you must ...... that or something today."

"Miss wants to talk about Dongpo meat." Fang Shao smiled and said it for her.

Zhuge Rong clapped her hands and said: "Yes, it's Dongpo meat, I live at Brother Liang's house today, you must make that Dongpo meat for me again." ”

Fang Shao said: "Miss loves to eat, Shao is honored." ”

Zhuge Rong smiled gracefully, ignored him, and grabbed Huang Yueying's arm: "Sister-in-law, hurry, I can't wait to see your new home." ”

At this time, the housekeeper Xu Han interjected: "The old slave almost forgot, General Guan Shao brought a gift and waited to see his wife in the front hall." ”

Before Fang Shao could react, the yellow moon had already rolled his eyes and said, "Could it be General Guan's son Guan Ping?" ”

"Exactly, exactly." Xu Han patted his head and replied.

"Then it's important to go to see the major general first."

So Xu Han led a few of him to the front hall, and when he just stepped into the gate of the hall, several people were taken aback, and a big ding fell in front of the door, blocking the way. And in the front hall at the end of the hall, a young man was kneeling in front of him, sipping tea as if no one was around.

"What's going on?" Huang Yueying asked in a low voice.

"This ...... This old slave doesn't know, that Ding...... That Ding Fang is obviously still in the courtyard, how can he ......" There was such a mess when he saw the new master for the first time, Steward Xu was so panicked that he didn't know how to explain it, but from his dazed expression, it seemed that this matter really had nothing to do with him.

Fang Shao looked up at the muscular young man in the hall, and said in his heart: "Guan Yu's son, look at that muscle, who else here can move such a heavy tripod except him, it turns out that he came to the door to give Zhuge Liang a horse." ”
