At the beginning of March of the first year of Taiping, Yangdu Mountain, Zhengrong Valley.

Although it is still cold outside the mountain, the spring flowers have bloomed in the mountains, unknown wildflowers cover the sunny slopes, and the warm sunlight shines on the big stone in front of the thatched hut halfway up the mountain, shining on Chen Ji's shoulders.

Chen Ji hugged his legs and sat opposite Zhuge Xuan. Chen Qun stood behind him with his hands arched, and looked at Zhuge Liang with his hair combed without blinking. Zhuge Liang stood in front of Chen Ji, neither humble nor arrogant, his eyes were calm.

"The kid has filial piety, and I hope that Chen Jun will forgive his sins."

Chen Ji looked Zhuge Liang up and down, frowned slightly, and said after a long time: "At a young age, I have already understood the way of heaven, and this is the first time I have seen it." I'm afraid that I'm only afraid of being smart and exposed, and I can't keep it for a long time. ”

Zhuge Xuan bowed slightly, deeply sympathetic.

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly: "The saint is born to know, so what should he do?" ”

Chen Ji replied lightly: "A saint is born to know it, and he can also achieve merit. However, what saint did not endure the unbearable suffering of ordinary people in order to go down in history? Da Shun has a stubborn brother who has been in danger many times; The master and son are upside down, Chen Cai, there is the misfortune of the yang tiger, how can there be a day of leisure? ”

Zhuge Liang smiled: "I want to go down in history again, and I want to be at ease, Chen Jun, you want too much." ”

Zhuge Xuan hurriedly shouted: "Liang'er ......"

"Fine." Chen Ji raised his hand to signal Zhuge Xuan not to worry, he said with a smile: "So, you are ready?" ”

Zhuge Liang bowed and bowed: "The husband should help the world at the same time, how can he be good alone." ”

"Then tell me about it, the battle of Songgao Mountain. The result? ”

Zhuge Liang didn't think twice: "Xi Zhicai is not self-sufficient, and if he wants to defeat the Son of Heaven in Liu's ancestral mountain, even if the Xuandao does not fall into the hands of the Son of Heaven, I am afraid that he will not be able to win." He makes dangerous moves, wanting to fight big with a small one, which is not what a wise man should do. ”

Chen Ji frowned slightly, and was silent.

"The benevolent man enjoys the mountain, and the wise man enjoys the water. If you want to use the power of mountains and rivers, you can't do it recklessly unless you are a great benevolent and wise person. Xi Zhicai is a little wise, and wants to reverse the landscape with manpower. Barely embarrassed. It's for risk. Zhuge Liang talked eloquently: "Soldiers, Qi is dependent on each other, and it is not without obstacles." But Xi Zhicai can't do it himself, and he uses his own heart. He took too much risk. Yes. He may not be able to kill the Son of Heaven himself. At most, there will be some gains, and the root cause must not be harmed. defeated, but suffered from it. It may even be wiped out. ”

"Why do you say that he is a teacher for his own use?" Chen Ji asked puzzledly: "As far as I know, although Xi Zhicai is easy to use, he is alert, not a person who talks on paper." ”

"Then does he know the realm of the Son of Heaven?" Zhuge Liang smiled: "If my guess is right, the Son of Heaven has already realized that when he got the Xuandao, it was not Xun Yu who told the secret, but the Xuandao was summoning his destiny." He glanced at Chen Ji and said lightly: "With just a few mountains, how can you suppress the monstrous water vapor of the Xuandao?" Chen Jun, you should hide him in Mount Tai. ”

"Liang'er, don't talk nonsense." Zhuge Xuan saw Zhuge Liang accusing Chen Ji, so he hurriedly drank it and didn't allow him to say more.

Chen Ji was thoughtful, and sighed for a long time: "That's right, it's my father and son who didn't think about it." Originally, we only wanted to get closer and take care of it, but as soon as the army arrived, we could only sigh and flee in a hurry. He turned to say: "According to what you said, the Son of Heaven has long been enlightened, why can't he even see Xu Shao, and he himself has no warning." ”

Zhuge Liang frowned like a little adult: "I want to go, there is only one possibility." ”

"What is possible?"

"Its realm is like an abyss, unfathomable." Zhuge Liang's eyes lit up, and he seemed to yearn for something: "Isn't it absurd to peep into the sky with a tube, to pierce the earth with a cone, and to know that the sky is high and the earth is thick?" If you want to follow Jingwei, you can be undefeated if you dig up the soil and fill the sea. ”

Chen Ji was taken aback, and he was refreshed. After a long time, he sighed: "The saint is traveling eastward. After speaking, he walked down from the boulder, straightened his clothes, took out a book from his sleeve, and presented it to Zhuge Liang with both hands: "The blue is better than the blue, and the young phoenix is more clear than the old phoenix." Child, I am old, and the future of Confucianism is entrusted to you. ”

Seeing Chen Ji's situation, Zhuge Xuan didn't dare to slack off, and he was upright, and Chen Qun didn't dare to be careless, as solemn as seeing an adult.

Zhuge Liang looked at the yellowed silk book in Chen Ji's hand and hesitated. "This ...... What is it? ”

"The Book of the Queen." Chen Ji smiled and said: "Like the Xuandao, it is the treasure of Confucianism that my Chen family has been ordered to guard for generations. Now that my father and brother have passed away one after another, I am old and declining, and I am unable to bear this heavy responsibility, so I have to entrust it to future generations. ”

Zhuge Liang put away his smile, bowed, and stretched out his hand to take the "Book of the Queen of the Wind".

Chen Ji took a step back, said goodbye, and turned to leave. Chen Qun took one last look nostalgically and followed closely. Zhuge Liang caught up with two steps, stood on the side of the hillside, and watched the Chen father and son go away. It wasn't until their figures disappeared between the flowers and trees that he retreated.

"Liang'er, this responsibility...... It's not light. Zhuge Xuan was worried: "Chen Qun is also an ordinary person, but Chen Ji does not let him take this responsibility." Liang'er, even if you have already understood the destiny of heaven......"

Zhuge Liang raised his head, his eyes lit up: "Uncle, I want to find a place to retreat and study, hoping to read this book in ten years." Besides, uncle, I don't want anyone to know about my fate. Otherwise......" He was silent for a moment: "I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for the day when I will spread my wings and fly high." ”

Zhuge Xuan sighed lightly and nodded again and again.

……

Chen Ji walked slowly with his cane, stopping from time to time, sniffing the flowers, looking at the green leaves, and feeling comfortable.

Chen Qun followed him, wanting to speak several times and stopping, his expression tangled.

"Changwen, can't figure it out?" Chen Ji stopped, looked at an unknown wildflower, admired it for a long time, and then said with a smile: "Along the way, you have sighed at least eighteen times, it seems that you really can't let go." ”

"Yes, father, my Chen family has exhausted the efforts of more than ten generations in order to protect these two treasures, why should I give it to this little child? Yes, he has understood his destiny, but who knows what his destiny is, and whether he can take on this important responsibility? ”

"Then you doubt my vision?"

Chen Qun was taken aback, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "The kid doesn't dare." ”

Chen Ji glanced at him. laughed silently: "Changwen, the way of heaven is far away, and it is not passed on by others." If you don't want to preach, you can't preach it. The sword was buried in front of your grandfather's grave for more than three years, and tens of thousands of people came to the grave to worship before and after, but who could sense the location of the knife? Why did the Xuandao fall into his hands as soon as Liu Wei arrived? I believe what Zhuge Liang said is not that Liu Wei is looking for the Xuandao, but that the Xuandao is summoning the natal life. ”

Chen Qun was a little disappointed. He also worshiped countless times in front of his grandfather's grave, but he didn't know that the sword was buried just a stone's throw away. All the way. He also failed to detect Liu Wei's Longyuan realm from the battle situation in Songgao Mountain. Zhuge Liang is far away in Langya, but he can see the flaws of Xi Zhicai, and Zhuge Liang's intelligence surpasses him.

This is the one who has realized his life. It's just smart.

"There's only one sword. You can't have it both ways. "The Book of the Queen of the Wind" can be incarnated into thousands of people. There are still a few days to go to Mount Tai, you can take a look and understand how much. All are your blessings. ”

Chen Qun was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him.

"Don't expect too much, though. If I can understand the preface, I will be satisfied, and even if my Chen family has not been busy in vain over the years, your grandfather and uncle can also be comforted a little under Jiuquan. ”

……

The northwest corner of Luoyang North Palace, the dragon pool.

The chamber had been redecorated and the walls had been cleared and painted with chalk. The three hidden portraits were also removed, and there were only spotless four walls in the secret room, with a brocade couch in the center and a thick brocade quilt. Behind the surrounding wall curtains, several bronze incense burners emit heat.

Liu Wei reclined on the couch, his eyes closed, and the sound of the water in the water of the dragon pool was clear to his ears, like a piano song that would never be repeated.

Except for the sound of water, there was silence all around.

There was a bitter smile at the corner of Liu Wei's mouth, a smile that was so bitter that he couldn't dissolve.

He never thought that this result would be this result, nor did he know whether this result was a blessing or a curse, only that this result was not what he hoped for.

In the battle of Longyuan, he hatched a giant dragon, swam under the water of Longyuan, went against the current, injured Xi Zhicai and Cao Cao with only his thoughts, and defeated Guan Yu and Sun Jian, the two masters of breaking the realm, with an understatement, and won a complete victory. The dragon's combat power was really incredible, but the consequences were also extremely strict, and he was in a coma for two days and one night.

Now, Yuan Shu and Cao Cao were defeated, Yuan Shao took the initiative to give up Xingyang and retreat to the sour date, and the siege of Luoyang has been resolved. However, he could not take advantage of the victory to pursue, level Shandong in one fell swoop, and unify the world. Because the dragon he hatched did not know where to go, whether it was still in Longyuan or if it had gone somewhere else, he had no idea. Without the dragon's help, with only 350,000 men in his hands, he might have been able to win one or two battles, but in the long run, he had little chance of winning.

Moreover, he himself was in big trouble. Breaking through the realm has brought him a sharp six senses, and now he not only has excellent eyesight, but also his hearing is unimaginably better. But it's not just a benefit, it's more of a trouble.

Can you imagine countless voices arguing in your ears, day and night, without a moment of quiet pain at the root of your ears?

Liu Wei feels this way now.

He could now hear every move within a hundred paces, within ten paces, and even the sound of ants fighting. These voices lingered in his ears every day, without stopping for a moment, making him miserable and irritable. He can order Lang Zhong on duty to stand a hundred steps away, he can order the secret room to be blocked with a thick curtain, he can order the ground within a hundred steps to be swept and swept, and let all the ants move, but he can't keep his heart from beating and his blood from flowing.

His heart was beating like a drum, his blood was flowing like a river, and every moment, he was like standing on the boulder of the pillar, listening to the roar of the Yellow River.

For a while, you may feel majestic and surging in your mood, but the twelve hours a day are so noisy, Liu Wei is overwhelmed and is about to be driven crazy.

Thanks to him, Lu Bu and Zhang Xiu had already successfully broken through the realm before him, and they had also encountered similar situations, although they were not as strict as him, but they also gave him a lot of inspiration. He can't let his heart not move, he can't let his blood not flow, he can only slowly adapt.

Before that, he could only hide in this secret room, living in seclusion.

In addition to this, he has an unimaginably big trouble.

After hatching the dragon, his lust became very strong, almost like a tidal wave, and it was difficult to suppress it. He is the emperor, of course, there is no shortage of women, and when he returns to Luoyang, he first has a good time with the queen Tang Ying. Long Yuan was victorious, Tang Ying was also very excited, flattering, and the two of them tossed almost all night, which can be described as enjoyable and harmonious.

But happy and sad, Tang Ying fell ill the next day, cold all over, and her face turned blue. After being examined, the doctor said that this was a cold invasion of the body, which could be a serious illness at least or life-threatening at worst. What's more, Tang Ying has an extremely strict palace cold and may lose her fertility.

Without thinking too much, Liu Wei knew that he had harmed Tang Ying. And the bigger trouble is still to come, and if he can't solve this problem, I'm afraid that no woman will be able to bear children for him.

He is in danger of being an heir.

In addition to the two crises of the dragon's disappearance and possible extinction, Liu Wei also has a crisis: Chang'an is uneasy and may cause chaos at any time.

A few years ago, Liu Wei subdued Guo Tai and Yang Feng's Bai Bo army in Hedong, and some of his soldiers rushed to Guanzhong to assist Dong Zhuozhen in guarding Guanzhong. With these reinforcements, Dong Zhuo finally held the front line of Xiaohuaili, and Han Sui and Ma Teng were forced to withdraw from Guanzhong.

The crisis in Guanzhong was solved, but the meritorious Dong Zhuo became a trouble, he didn't know which tendon was wrong, and he actually wanted to marry Huangfu Gui's widow Ma Shi as his wife, Ma Shi did not obey, Dong Zhuo was ferocious, not only killed Ma, but also slaughtered Huangfu Gui Manmen.

As a result, not only did the Emperor Fu of the Northland refuse to give up, but even the Fufeng Ma family was anxious, and cried in front of Liu Biao, asking Liu Biao to severely punish Dong Zhuo and avenge the grievances of the Huangfu family and the Ma family. Although Taifu Huangfu Song did not go to the book, he closed his door from that day on.

Liu Wei can't sit idly by, but he can't be in a hurry. In the case of Shandong's rebellion, Chang'an is the only way for the imperial court to retreat, and it cannot be chaotic. Dong Zhuo not only has heavy troops, but also has an indescribable relationship with the Xiqiang Zhuhao, in case he is in a hurry and forces Dong Zhuo to rebel, Chang'an will fall into the hands of the Qiang people, and then it will be against all sides, trapped in Luoyang, and Liu Zhuo's trouble will be really big. Even with the dragon in hand, he may not be able to achieve the final victory.

What's more, the dragon is still missing, and the only thing he can rely on now is himself.

Worried inside and outside, the backyard caught fire, Liu Wei was upset and couldn't sleep at night. However, he knew better that any negative feelings were meaningless in such a situation, and that any slightest negligence could trigger a crisis of collapse, so even if his mind was in turmoil and evil thoughts were rampant, he still forced himself to calm down. Living in seclusion is not only to meditate on the way to solve it, but also to prevent others from seeing their flaws.

He knew that in Luoyang City, inside and outside the palace, there were countless pairs of eyes staring at his every move...... (To be continued......)
