Pang Shanmin sincerely invited, several people are also good, got up and left the academy, at the gate of the academy, Pang Tong took the first step, ready to go to the nearest village to buy some wine and meat, after Pang Tong left, a group of young scholars talked and laughed and walked to Pang Jiazhuang under the mountain, whether it was Shi Tao or Meng Jian, they all felt that Pang Shanmin's easy-going brother was very easy to get along with, and the two even pleaded with Zhuge Liang, so that Pang Shanmin also joined their small circle of scholars.

Zhuge Liang was silent, Zhuge Liang still recognized Pang Shanmin's sudden talent, although the Zhuge family is not a famous family in Jingxiang, it is also roughly equivalent to the Pang family, scholarly heirloom, Zhuge Liang is not very old, but his experience is not shallow. It's just that Pang Shanmin is a little incomprehensible to him, Zhuge Liang really can't figure it out, Pang Shanmin, who is not famous on weekdays, actually has such insight, which is really a bit unexpected for him.

"Kong Ming, what are you thinking? Didn't you hear what I just said? Shi Tao saw that Zhuge Liang was distracted, and said with a big grin: "Brother Shanmin has a good insight, we should come and go often in the future, and it will also help to learn from each other and promote each other!" ”

"Well, that's a great thing." Zhuge Liang came back to his senses, nodded, and the entangled brows between his eyebrows gradually dispersed, as if he had figured out something, and smiled at Pang Shanmin: "I didn't expect the Pang family to hide deep enough, and actually took Shiyuan out of the top tank, Brother Shanmin is so talented, it is not much better than Shiyuan." ”

Pang Shanmin shook his head and smiled: "What you think is really complicated, don't you want to suddenly open your mind for your brother?" ”

"That's a joke!" Pang Shanmin's words made several people laugh, and Shi Taowan said: "Even if you lie to people, my brother is so insincere, and my brother's words, I'm afraid even a three-year-old child can't be fooled." ”

So, the truth is always incredible.

Pang Shanmin didn't dwell on this topic anymore, after walking several miles of mountain roads, Pang Shanmin's house had appeared in front of everyone, as soon as he entered the house, Pang Shanmin went to the bed in the bedroom and found out a few five-baht coins, handed them to Shi Tao and said: "Shiyuan doesn't have much money, Guangyuan will go to the streets and alleys in exchange for some food, our brothers get together for the first time, but it can't be too shabby." ”

"It's fine." Shi Tao took the money without pretentiousness and said with a smile: "I didn't expect my brother to look polite, but his temperament is very bold." ”

After speaking, Shi Tao went out of the courtyard gate, and at the stone table in the small courtyard, only Zhuge Liang and Meng Jian were left, Pang Shanmin sat down on the stone bench next to the table, and said to Zhuge Liang: "Brother Ling has joined Jiangdong, why does Kong Ming not say a word about Jiangdong Sun Quan?" ”

"Jiangdong Sun Quan and Liu Jingzhou have a grudge against their father, my family and the Liu family still have some in-laws, it is really inconvenient to go to Jiangdong, the reason why my brother went to Jiangdong is just to leave a way back for Zhuge Yimen, now Sun Ce died early, Jiangdong undercurrent is surging, I think my brother's life is probably very difficult." Zhuge Liang sighed a little and said: "I didn't expect that the mountain people brother knew a lot of things, my brother joined Jiangdong, it must have been Shiyuan's big mouth to tell you." ”

Pang Shanmin nodded, looked at the wide open courtyard gate, and muttered, "Jiangdong, ......"

"If Sun Ce is here, although he is not the master of the Ming, but he is also a generation of heroes, the little overlord sits in Jiangdong, and he is not much better than his father Jiangdong Tiger, but it is a pity that Liu Jingzhou listened to the slander back then, ambushed the Sun family for the sake of the jade seal, and killed Sun Jian with arrows, otherwise if the two places are friendly, Jingxiang will also have one more reinforcement." After Meng Jian finished speaking, Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "Even if you befriend the Sun family, Jiangdong and Jingxiang will have a battle sooner or later." ”

"That's right." Pang Shanmin also quite agreed with Zhuge Liang's opinion, looking at Meng Jian's somewhat confused look, Pang Shanmin was about to explain, Shi Tao's loud voice came back outside the door, Shi Tao carried two dying reed roosters, and strode into the courtyard.

"What are you talking about?" Shi Tao looked at the three of them as if they were interrupted to talk about sex, and said with a smile: "What is right? ”

"Let's talk about Jiangdong, but it doesn't have much to do with us." Pang Shanmin said with a smile: "At least don't worry that Kong Ming will find another job, this is a big plan for the future of several of us." ”

"It turns out that the mountain brother is waiting for me here!" Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "I thought that the elder brother of the mountain people was just concerned about the whereabouts of my brother, but I didn't expect it to be a side knock, now I am waiting for Shi Yuan to come back, let's put the food in the pot first, and after Shi Yuan comes back, I will listen to my brother's plan again." ”

"Big plan...... Sounds amazing. After Meng Jian finished speaking, he took the chicken path and walked to the kitchen, but muttered intermittently, "Why is there a war?" ”

"Uh...... Kong Ming, did you explain to Gongwei that his appearance is a bit of a demonic barrier? Pang Shanmin looked at Meng Jian with a smile and a dumb look, but Shi Tao laughed and said: "Gongwei always looks like this when he thinks about things, and when he figures it out, it's all right." ”

Zhuge Liang nodded, and he didn't plan to stop Meng Jian, who had entered a state of selflessness, seeing that Pang Shanmin was still a little worried, Zhuge Liang smiled: "Don't worry, Gongwei won't delay the work in hand even when thinking about things, Gongwei's cooking skills are unique, let's sit and wait to eat meat." ”

"But I wanted to hear about the mountain people's brother earlier." Seeing Meng Jian enter the kitchen, Shi Tao whispered: "The younger brother is stupid, I really can't figure out the choice of the mountain people's brother, why is it Liu Qi?" I thought about it all the way, but I didn't realize that the eldest prince had any potential to become a master. ”

Seeing that Zhuge Liang also put on a deferential appearance, Pang Shanmin nodded, and said mysteriously: "What if we only ask for the protection of the name of the eldest prince of Liu Qi and manage our own forces?" ”

After Pang Shanmin finished speaking, Zhuge Liang and Shi Tao's eyes widened, looking incredulous.

"The Lu of the Eater, the matter of loyalty to the King, since the elder brother wants to vote for Liu Qi, he should also help each other carefully!" Shi Tao finished speaking without hesitation, turned his head to look at Zhuge Liang, but saw Zhuge Liang putting on a thoughtful look.

"Am I not right?" Shi Tao glanced at Zhuge Liang strangely, and then at Pang Shanmin, Pang Shanmin didn't seem to mind the reaction of the two, and looked calm and relaxed.

After a long time, Zhuge Liang took a deep breath, looked at Pang Shanmin's gaze became much more eager, and said to Pang Shanmin: "Brother Shanmin, do you want to say that you are the master that everyone is looking for, right?" I really haven't seen it in the next place, and I only took a meal of wine and meat to seek talent. ”

"When the lord is too tired, I don't have any interest, if it is a prosperous time, I would like to be a safe and stable rich man, troubled times, a good man should make contributions, but if he joins the princes, the constraints are also great, it is better to live a free hermit, even so, why not run a business of his own, when the power is strong, you can chase the Central Plains, retreat can find a strong person to seek refuge, I believe that with the ability of my generation, want to be famous in history, it is not too extravagant......" Pang Shanmin's tone was very sincere, said to the two: "I wonder if the two of you are interested in listening to the advice of the brother now?" ”
