Wang Baoyu took out the jade flute from his arms and handed it over, asking, "Diao Chan, can you play it?" ”

As soon as he saw this jade flute, Diao Chan was stunned for a moment, stared at it for a long time, and asked excitedly, "Where did you get this thing?" ”

"A friend."

"It's really a great creation, this is the phoenix flute." Diao Chan said.

"Oh! Do you know this thing too, do you have any origins? Wang Baoyu asked curiously.

"This is a palace thing, and it is said that it was used by Zhao Feiyan, the empress dowager when the emperor mourned." Diao Chan said.

Zhao Feiyan is a well-known historical figure in later generations, of course Wang Baoyu has heard of it, but he still can't figure it out, this phoenix flute doesn't look special except for being jade, and it is still a little bulky in her hand, Zhao Feiyan is a butterfly-light woman, how could this thing get into her eyes?

"I don't see any difference between this flute and the others?"

This flute looks ordinary, but if it is facing the bright moon, you can see that there are water waves flowing in it, like a colorful phoenix. The player is like a fairy, intoxicated by it, and often does not feel tired for several hours, but is refreshed. Diao Chan explained.

Ah, it is so magical, it seems that Mrs. Cai only knows its name, and does not know the magic of it, Wang Baoyu was suddenly overjoyed, thinking about looking for an opportunity to see if there is really a phoenix in it.

Still, he went back to the beginning and asked, "Do you know how to play the flute?" ”

"Understand!" Diao Chan nodded.

"Come, blow one for me to relieve my boredom." Wang Baoyu handed over the phoenix flute.

"My humble body, how dare I touch the former queen mother's love?"

"Hehe, you and her belong to a heavyweight in the next life, don't worry about blowing boldly!"

Diao Chan nodded happily, and cleaned his hands in the copper basin, and after the silk handkerchief was dried, he carefully took the flute, that is, the flute, and put half of the small hole on the side of Zhu's lips, and the rhythm of the chest moved, inhaled slowly, and then slowly blew into the small hole, with the gentle beating of the fingers, an ethereal and melodious music came out.

That's good! makes people have no distractions for a while, and they simply have the feeling of washing their souls, Wang Baoyu secretly praised one, it was too intoxicating!

"Baoyu, Baoyu!" Who knew that before she finished listening to a song, the fire girl ran over with a shout, stood at the door and said that Zhuge Liang was back, and let Wang Baoyu go over.

Wang Baoyu got up and left, and Diao Chan hurriedly shouted: "Childe, this leads the phoenix flute?" ”

"Oh! I can't blow it, so you can take it first! Wang Baoyu said generously.

Diao Chan was stunned again, Wang Baoyu was able to hand over such a valuable thing to her, which showed that he trusted her and was also a true feeling, and after that, she began to follow Wang Baoyu with all her heart.

"Baoyu, Diao Chan is pretentious, never cooks on the fire, why don't you give me that rolling pin?" Huo Ya asked sourly.

Rolling pin? Wang Baoyu couldn't help laughing, patted the fire girl's head and said, "If you like it, I'll ask the carpenter to make a good one for you next time, hehe, make a sandalwood one, it's better than the stone." ”

"Baoyu, you're so nice!" The fire girl was satisfied.

Zhuge Liang asked Wang Baoyu to come over, naturally to inquire about the situation of going to Xiangyang this time, and also prepared wine and food, and the two of them chatted while eating, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

In any case, the Xiangyang experience told from Wang Baoyu's mouth, although it is not a real military event, but it also played some auxiliary role in Zhuge Liang's decision, therefore, Zhuge Liang was very happy, and there was a feeling that the two of them joined forces and were invincible in the world.

However, when Wang Baoyu smugly talked about how he sent Liu Ba out of the city with righteousness, Zhuge Liang's face changed instantly, his smile was gone, and he sighed.

"Sir, that Liu Ba is an unpopular guy in Xiangyang, just that old clothes, very poor and sour, can I say that if I let him go, will I still cause trouble?" Wang Baoyu was a little unhappy.

"Baoyu, I thought that you would know the world if you got the true inheritance of the Nine Heavens Xuannu, but you are still ignorant." Zhuge Liang shook his head and said.

"What I know is all the big things in the world, these are all small things, I don't pay attention to anyone's weddings and funerals!" Wang Baoyu straightened his neck and pouted.

"Liu Bashi is a highly talented person, his grandfather is Cangwu Taishou, his father was Jiangxia Taishou, born in a famous family, but he can always maintain his honest nature, it is really rare, Liu Biao has been used several times, and he is unwilling to be an official." Zhuge Liang said.

"How does his talent compare to yours?"

"Kong Ming is too late!"

"I don't see what he can do anyway, so why did Liu Biao go to Liu Cong's succession ceremony and drink during the banquet?" Wang Baoyu said disapprerovingly.

"It will be forced by Cai Mao."

"Not just drinking, but also picking meat to eat, and the mouth is not idle at all, it's just a rubbing rice."

"Hey, this move shows Liu Ba's daily hardship, which is really admirable!"

"This? But Liu Ba attended the banquet, which always shows that he is afraid of Cai Mao, and he is also a bad seed, right? ”

"How can you generalize? What's wrong with a gentleman standing under a dangerous egg, and then protecting himself wisely, and then having to get out of the way? ”

"Okay, okay, that's the celebrity effect, do everything right, it's up to you. Sir, I don't care what Liu Ba is, but people really didn't want to vote for Liu Bei, and I tried my best to persuade him, but his attitude was so resolute that he could only let him go. Wang Baoyu spread his hands and said.

"In this way, it will only take an hour for Liu Ba to leave."

"Well, half a half, what do you want to do?"

"I'm going to chase him!" Zhuge Liang put down his wine glass, got up and left, and his attitude was very resolute.

This person is really brainless, what is the benefit of chasing Liu Ba back, Wang Baoyu was very depressed for a while, drank a few glasses of wine alone, and went back to sleep.

Zhuge Liang personally led people to chase Liu Ba overnight, but he didn't catch up in the end, thinking that Liu Ba had already expected someone to chase after him, or speed up the trip, or hide his whereabouts.

Liu Bei also sighed when he heard this, of course, Zhuge Liang didn't tell him that it was Liu Ba who Wang Baoyu let go, in case Liu Bei was angry, maybe it would bring disaster to Wang Baoyu.

Half a month later, the autumn wind suddenly rose, Cao Cao in the north was ready to move, the war seemed to be on the verge of breaking out, and news kept coming.

The first news that shocked Wang Baoyu was that Kong Rong Kong Wenju was killed by Cao Cao on the charges of "recruiting disciples, trying to do wrong, slandering the court, and disobeying Chaoyi", and connected the whole family, this humble gentleman who was four years old and made pears, ended miserably with grievances, and only fell into regret for the ages.

It is said that Kong Rong was killed, and it was related to two things, one was that Cao Cao wanted to fight Jingzhou, Kong Rong dared to stop it, which made Cao Cao very unhappy, and some people said that he secretly communicated with Liu Bei; There is another thing, that is, You Heng, who came back from the dead, wrote a letter to Kong Rong, but it was intercepted by Cao Cao's cronies.
