182 Kong Ming Lantern

"I guessed that the lord wanted to give you an official title, and sure enough, at the banquet that day, the lord proposed to me that he want you to be his best man, but I resigned on the grounds that you were idle and didn't understand the law and discipline." Zhuge Liang said.

"Best man? Liu Bei is getting married again. Wang Baoyu asked, in modern times, the best man is the one standing next to the groom's officer.

"Nonsense, the emperor's uncle already has a wife, and he has no intention of marrying." Zhuge Liang said.

"Oh, that's an official, what are you doing?" Wang Baoyu suddenly asked.

"It is to always be by the side of the lord and protect his safety." Zhuge Liang explained.

"I understand, you're right to refuse, I don't know martial arts, and it's difficult to protect myself when I'm in danger, let alone defend Liu Bei." Wang Baoyu said.

"Baoyu, it's not that I don't want you to be an official, the career is sinister, if I lose, I still have you to accompany Yueying, and I won't leave her alone." Zhuge Liang explained.

"Well, besides, I'm too lazy to be an official, and I'm going to leave sooner or later." Wang Baoyu said casually.

"!" Zhuge Liang glared at Wang Baoyu, and sighed again: "Since ancient times, eunuchs have misled the country, you have a smart mind, and you have nothing else to think, I am afraid that you will go the wrong way." ”

Wang Baoyu grinned, really, he was just below when he was in the Three Kingdoms, how could he become an official and become a eunuch? But it sounds reasonable, Wang Baoyu nodded, anyway, he has to go back to modern times, he is not a person of this era, but he still can't help but feel a sour feeling in his heart, and he can't bear to be sad and worried about his good sister now.

"Sir, no one is as important as you in my sister's heart, and I hope to cherish it without permission." Wang Baoyu arched his hand.

"Don't talk about this, this time I went to Xiangyang, the identity that the lord gave you is the position of best man, under my persuasion, you are only temporarily using this position, and you are not bound by the official law." Zhuge Liang said.

"Hehe, that's the best, is there a salary? How much silver to give? Wang Baoyu laughed.

"The lord didn't mention it." Zhuge Liang hurriedly waved his hand, Wang Baoyu felt regretful, it turned out to be just an empty title, very boring.

Since Liu Bei said it, Wang Baoyu didn't dare not go, Fancheng was Liu Bei's world, and he couldn't afford to offend, not to mention Zhuge Liang's family, including himself, were all living under the people at this time.

Next, Wang Baoyu asked in detail who was going to Xiangyang, Zhuge Liang said that Wenchen had Sun Qian, Mi Zhu, Jian Yong, and Guan Yu, and some entourages who led horses and fell to take care of their daily lives.

For the sake of safety, Zhuge Liang also discussed with Liu Bei and asked Zhang Fei to lead a team to cross the river and hide on the south bank of the Han River, so that in case of danger, it could be used to respond.

"Sir, once danger occurs, how to transmit a signal to Zhang Fei?" Wang Baoyu asked a crucial question.

"It's a fast horse."

"If you don't let you out of the city at night, how can you pass it?"

"This ......" Zhuge Liang was stopped by Wang Baoyu.

"Hey, sir, I have a method that I can use to deliver signals at night." Wang Baoyu said with a smile.

"Please!" Zhuge Liang's eyes lit up, and he said politely, Wang Baoyu, this kid, since he said that he was a disciple of the Nine Heavens Xuannu, he would always have some ghost ideas that surprised him.

Wang Baoyu took a pen and drew a sketch, pasted it into the shape of a lantern with paper, sealed tightly on the top, and lit a fire below, and the thing would fly up, fly high in the air, and it could be seen from a long distance.

"Nonsense, how can a kite fly high in the sky without strong winds?" Zhuge Liang felt unbelievable.

"Hehe, you don't understand this, the heat generated by the expansion of the air in the lantern is enough to make the lantern fly." Wang Baoyu even compared it, seeing that Zhuge Liang was still at a loss, and sighed: "In terms of creating zào power, Mr. is still not as good as my sister, so it's better to call my sister to study together!" ”

Zhuge Liang hurriedly called Mrs., Huang Yueying is such a shrewd person, she can see through a little, and she is especially good at this kind of craftsman's thing, so she immediately started to make one, and the three of them went to the yard overnight, after the lantern was lit, she slowly let go, and sure enough, it flew up to a thousand meters in the air, flashing and flashing, more like a flowing star.

"It's incredibly easy to transmit!" Zhuge Liang said excitedly.

"Since it is released in the sky, it is better to call it a sky lantern." Huang Yueying looked up at the sky and said happily.

"It's not too appropriate, in my opinion, there are holes under this lamp, and it can be illuminated, so it is called Kong Ming lantern." Wang Baoyu said seemingly seriously.

Zhuge Liang was stunned for a moment, but Huang Yueying burst out laughing and said, "Kong Ming, this is Baoyu who wants you to make meritorious contributions!" ”

"Baoyu, thank you." Zhuge Liang gave up his hand, a little embarrassed.

Early the next morning, Zhuge Liang went to see Liu Bei with a Kong Ming lantern and said this method of transmitting signals, Liu Bei was overjoyed, and praised Zhuge Liang for taking precautions and being thoughtful.

As mentioned earlier, Liu Bei is not without resentment when he looks at the thatched house, so he is naturally lukewarm to Zhuge Liang, and occasionally his subordinates ridicule Zhuge Liang with one eye open and one eye closed, which is the right to vent his anger for himself. Now seeing that Zhuge Liang thinks about himself in everything, Liu Bei's attitude towards Zhuge Liang is gradually changing.

Liu Bei immediately told Zhang Fei that Zhang Fei was not confused, let go of his dissatisfaction with Zhuge Liang, and carefully wrote it down, as long as he saw this kind of flowing stars, he would immediately raise troops to respond.

Everything was ready, and two days later, Liu Bei and his party left Fancheng on horseback, crossed the river by boat, and went to Xiangyang to meet Liu Biao.

On the way, Wang Baoyu and Guan Yu rode side by side, Guan Yu smiled and asked, "Baoyu, is Diao Chan good with you?" ”

"The person sent by the second brother dares to be slow!" Wang Baoyu said.

"This woman is not without her strengths, I don't need it, but I can use it if I give it to you." Guan Yu said.

"I don't think she's of any use, and now she's just coaxing children all day long." Wang Baoyu asked stunned.

"Don't rush, you need to take your time." Guan Yu laughed and said, not broken.

At noon, a group of people entered from the north gate of Xiangyang, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city had already received the arrangement, and they were unimpeded, and the group went to the post house to live first.

After a simple meal, Liu Bei asked Liu Biao to send a letter to apply for a visit, and an hour later, the messenger came back to report that Liu Biao had sent someone to pick up Liu Bei at the post station to go to the mansion.

"Baoyu, come with me!" Liu Bei smiled slightly, and suddenly said to Wang Baoyu kindly.

As soon as these words came out, everyone present showed a look of surprise, and they all felt incredible, Wang Baoyu is not good at civil and military, what problem can be solved by following?

Guan Yu showed a slight displeasure, he wanted to protect Liu Bei together, but he didn't expect that the eldest brother Liu Bei would only take this hairy boy.

And Zhuge Liang didn't understand why Liu Bei brought Wang Baoyu to Jingzhou to see Liu Biao, but now he is even more confused.
