Longzhong is thirty miles away from the west of Xiangyang City, the mountains are stacked and green, the streams are flowing, the water is fragrant, the forest is lush and the bamboo is repaired, it is a good pastoral scenery, in the meantime, a tranquil and quiet atmosphere comes to the face. Liu Ze and Zhang Fei walked side by side, with only more than a dozen followers behind them, and the horse's hooves jumped lightly on the stone path between the mountains, making a light and crisp "of" sound.

Inside and outside Xiangyang, north and south of the Han River, there is already a continuous war, the war is endless, and even the air is filled with the smell of blood, but Fang Fu stepped into Longzhong, that kind of murderous aura was suddenly swept away, and instead of it, it was the kind of fresh breath that had been lost for a long time, Liu Ze couldn't help but sigh with emotion, not indifferent and unambitious, non-quiet and far-reaching, in this kind of paradise, it is possible to have such a mind and elegance.

Luo Guanzhong cherished ink like gold when writing about the Three Kingdoms, and the description of the scenery in various places was even more stingy and could not be restored, but the description of the scenery of Longzhong was not stingy with pen and ink, "The mountain is not high and elegant, the water is not deep and clear; The ground is not wide but flat; The forest is small and lush. Ape and crane blind date, pine fence intertwined. This is not Lao Luo has a soft spot for the scenery of Longzhong, but refers to the scenery of the people, the mountain is not high, there are immortals, the water is not deep, there are dragons and spirits, the reason why Longzhong is famous all over the world is because from here came out of a generation of wizards Zhuge Liang.

Liu Ze's mood is both excited and apprehensive, for the famous wise and almost demonic Mr. Wolong in the history of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Ze is extremely eager to see each other, just count his fingers, Zhuge Liang was born in Guanghe four years, this year just and weak crown, three years ago Zhuge Xuan died of illness, Zhuge Liang and his younger brother Zhuge were living in seclusion in Wollongong in Longzhong. Perhaps except for Liu Ze in this world, there is really no one who can see the value of Zhuge Liang. Even Mr. Shuijing, Sima Hui, Xu Shu and Liu Biao's brother-in-law Huang Chengyan, who married his daughter Huang Yueying to Zhuge Liang, although he thinks that Zhuge Liang is talented and thinks that he is too humble to compare himself to Guan Zhong Leyi, but what kind of peak Zhuge Liang will reach, they all know nothing, and compare it to Jiang Shang who has been in the Xing Zhou Dynasty for 800 years, and Zhang Liang who has been in the Wanghan Dynasty for 400 years, is just a metaphor, and Zhuge Liang's future achievements are also a mystery.

This is also in the appreciation of Zhuge Liang by some close friends. Besides. I am afraid that within the scope of Jingxiang Nine Counties, no one has paid due attention to and reused this hairy young man who is just in his early twenties, which is also the reason why Zhuge Liang had to live in seclusion in Wollongong after the death of his uncle Zhuge Xuan and lived a pastoral life of half-farming and half-studying. Of course, this is also a matter of two-way choice. It is true that Liu Biao and Cai Mao did not appreciate Zhuge Liang's talent. But with the relationship of his father-in-law Huang Chengyan. It doesn't seem to be difficult to get an official position in Jingzhou. But Zhuge Liang is very clear about Liu Biao's ability, and he also sees the general trend of Jingzhou very clearly. Naturally, you can't go to Xiangyang to Qu to be a petty official with sesame mung beans, Zhuge Liang is lying in the middle of the mountain, waiting for the opportunity that belongs to him, just one point, Zhuge Liang is similar to Jiang Taigong who is fishing with a straight hook by the Weishui.

Due to Liu Ze's involvement, it is impossible to return to its original trajectory, Liu Ze replaced Liu Bei's position and came to Jingzhou, but he is no longer the down-and-out Uncle Liu Huang, the dignified King Jing of the Han Dynasty commanded more than 100,000 elite soldiers, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger, and his feet stomped, Jingzhou had to be shaken three times. Liu Ze didn't know that he came to Longzhong seven years earlier than Liu Bei in history, what Zhuge Liang's current mentality is, and whether he is willing to go out of the mountain is really a mystery.

However, Liu Ze has already made a plan to look at the thatched house three times, whether Zhuge Liang is playing the score or not, he must put his sincerity here first, sincerity, gold and stone are open, anyway, Liu Ze, the first talent of the Three Kingdoms, must not let him leak it.

Liu Ze traveled this time, the most nervous is Pan Feng, the commander of Jinyingwei, Liu Ze was assassinated in Qinghe, the purpose of that trip was also to visit Xian, but Xian did not visit, and let the assassins sneak attack halfway, fortunately, there was no danger, since then Jinyingwei has increased the personal protection of high-ranking officials in Xuzhou, including Liu Ze, and there has never been a case of assassination. This time Liu Ze went to Longzhong, Pan Feng's Jinying Wei General Administration is naturally like a great enemy, although the Jingzhou side now has the intention of surrendering, but the negotiations are still ongoing, whether the negotiations will be successful or not is still unknown, for Liu Ze's protection Pan Feng never dared to have any luck, personally escorted Liu Ze out with a group of hundreds of personal guards.

Walking to the Longzhong Mountain Pass, Liu Ze saw that so many guards were noisy and noisy, which was incompatible with the quiet and peaceful scenery of Longzhong, so he ordered Pan Feng to stay at the mountain pass, and he and Zhang Fei only took a dozen people into the mountain. Pan Feng was worried, and on the grounds of safety, he urged him, but Liu Ze insisted on doing so, so he had to arrange for more than a dozen guards with excellent skills to accompany Liu Ze into the mountain, and he led the team to meet near the mountain pass, not daring to cross the middle of the mountain for half a step.

The mountain road winds and turns, hovering between the green bamboo streams, full of greenery, poetic and picturesque. Looking at the terraced fields in front of them, there are several people ploughing in the fields with hoes, leading and singing: "The sky is like a round cover, and the land is like a chess game." The world is divided into black and white, and they fight for honor and disgrace. Those who are honored are at peace, and those who are humiliated are at peace. There is seclusion in Nanyang, and there is not enough high sleep! ”

Zhang Fei looked disdainful, and snorted: "The people here are so crazy, the farmers don't want to work, but here the ghosts cry wolves and sing a few tunes out of tune, is it possible that the crops in the field can grow taller by themselves?" ”

Liu Ze is very interested, don't say it, these farmers have loud voices and a bit of original taste, but unfortunately there is no CCTV platform in this society now, otherwise with this song, it is enough to become more popular than Brother Coat. He struck his horse forward and said to the peasants, "Did you create this song so beautifully?" ”

On this trip, Liu Ze did not wear armor or official uniforms, but just wore some ordinary clothes, but Liu Ze was dressed as a scholar, and in the eyes of the farmers, he was naturally a person from the upper class, so they naturally did not dare to slack off, and said respectfully: "How can such a vulgar person who knows a few big characters create poetry." ”

Liu Ze asked: "Who created this song with a lofty artistic conception and a subtle tune?" ”

The farmer replied, "This is the work of Mr. Wolong." ”

Liu Ze nodded and said, "Where does Mr. Wolong live?" ”

The farmer pointed to the south and said: "In the south of this mountain, there is a high post, called Wollongong, a bamboo forest in front of the post, and there is a thatched house in it, which is the residence of Mr. Wolong. ”

Liu Ze thanked him, rode his horse, and within a few miles, he saw a high hill, the green bamboo was uneven, full of greenery, in the depths of the bamboo forest, a thatched hut with a yellow-brown dome was impressive, the fence was sparse, and the firewood door was half-hidden.

Zhang Fei smiled dumbly and said, "The wise man that the eldest brother said lives here, he is poor and hidden, I really can't see that he is a great sage?" Zhang Fei has always been a light soldier and a doctor, and he respects the upper-class people, but he doesn't respect the lower-class people, and when he sees Zhuge Liang's residence is shabby and dilapidated, he can't help but feel contempt.

Liu Ze glared at him, sank his face, and said: "Si is a burrow, but I Dexin, a real wise man is indifferent to fame and fortune, and is extraordinary, and his realm can be understood by you and other laypeople?" After Shaoqing saw Mr. Zhuge , he had to talk nonsense, otherwise go back and see how I punish you! ”

Zhang Fei saw that Liu Ze was really angry, so he didn't dare to distinguish his mouth anymore, so he made a promise and kept silent.

Liu Ze got off the horse and knocked on the firewood door, and after a while, a boy about twelve or thirteen years old came out, opened the door and looked at Liu Ze, and said suspiciously: "Who are you?" Who are you looking for? ”

Liu Ze said: "King Jing of the Han Dynasty led Liu Ze, the general of Muzhendong in Xuyangzhou, to visit Mr. Zhuge and ask for a message." ”

The boy scratched the back of his head and shook his head, "I can't remember so many names. ”

Liu Ze smiled and said, "You just said that Liu Ze came to visit." ”

The boy still shook his head and said, "My husband said that if he is not a regular customer, he will not accept it, and the guest should come back." ”

Zhang Fei was just about to stare at the beads in his eyes and get angry, but Liu Ze glanced at him, and just about to say something, he had to swallow it back raw, and retreated to the side stupidly. Liu Ze said to the boy with a pleasant face: "I have been admiring Mr. Zhuge for a long time, and I came from afar, just to see Mr. Zhu's respectful face, please ask the little brother to go in and report it, only to say that Xuzhou Liu Ze came to visit, see it or not, and Mr. Zhuge is free to decide." ”

The boy was unmoved, and his head shook like a rattle, and he said in a loud voice: "No, no, sir, but all those who come to visit will not be seen except for friends." This is the rule set by my husband, and the guests should please come back, if they really make the husband angry, they should punish me again. ”

Zhang Fei was furious when he heard this, and he no longer cared about Liu Ze's eyes, rushed forward, stared at the beads of his eyes, and shouted at the boy: "I really don't believe it, Xiangyang City has been broken by me, and a broken thatched hut can also block the way of your third grandfather, believe it or not, a fire will burn you to the light." ”

Zhang Fei was tall and mighty, with a black face and a beard, blowing his beard and glaring at the boy, with a fierce and vicious appearance, the boy was so frightened that his face was pale, he was at a loss, and he was almost crying.

Liu Ze was about to speak, but he heard a light cough from behind the chai door, and walked out of a young man in a Confucian robe and scarf, his face was like a crown of jade, elegant and handsome, and he said in a deep voice: "Why is it so noisy?" ”

The boy hurriedly saluted the Confucian scholar and said: "Mr. Huiyu, this person is Liu Ze, the king of Xuzhou, the little one was ordered to stop them here, not to let them enter the door, they did not listen to the dissuasion, insisted on coming in, so ......"

When the Confucian scholar heard this, his face changed slightly, he waved away the boy, and said to Liu Zeshi: "The boy is ignorant, and he doesn't know that His Royal Highness King Jing is coming, and it is rude, please ask King Jing to do a lot of Haihan!" (To be continued......)
