This day was being locked up by Jiang Wan in the palace to study the four books, and when he was drowsy, suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Liu Chan frowned slightly, "Who?" Come in."

The door slowly opened, and a round head was stretched in, and the eyes were rolling around, it was Huang Hao.

The tired look on Liu Chan's face was swept away, his eyes showed a light in his eyes, and he smiled, "Little Sanxiao, what good things did you bring to me?"

Huang Hao saw that Liu Chan was happy, stepped into the door, looked outside, closed the door, and then turned around and said, "Your Majesty, the villain has just found a new musician from the bazaar, I guarantee that you will be happy when you see it."

Liu Chan listened to something interesting, and suddenly he was in high spirits, forgetting all Jiang Wan's instructions to the clouds, standing up and stretching out his hand to ask, "What good things, quickly take them out and show them to me."

Huang Hao seemed to be very proud, took out two cages made of straw from his arms, each with a big green cricket, and said to Liu Chan, "Your Majesty, the most popular fighting cricket in Chengdu today."

Liu Chan was full of curiosity, and hurriedly said, "How to play?" You show me how to show it."

In a trance, he took out a bamboo tube from the sleeve of his robe and put it on the desk, and then put two crickets in the jar and played with a bamboo stick.

Liu Chan was originally bored in the palace, and was looked down upon by Jiang Wan and others, and rarely went out.

When he was on the rise, he was only bitten to death, and he was a little disappointed, "Why did you die so quickly?"

Huang Haomei smiled and said, "Your Majesty, there is excitement when there is victory and disadvantage!" This one is dead, and the small one will buy a few more for Your Majesty, and Your Majesty can divide them into groups to compete, wouldn't it be fun?"

Liu Chan clapped his hands and laughed, and said, "That's very good, Ming said that you go and buy more, and then I will find someone to play and gamble on some lotteries, then it will be fun."

Huang Hao hurriedly agreed, and talked to Liu Chan about these interesting and strange things that happened in Chengdu, and Liu Adou listened to it with relish, and applauded from time to time.

In the prime minister's mansion in another place, the study room was burned by an oil lamp until dawn, and Zhuge Liang was sitting in front of the bookcase looking through the documents.

"Grandpa, what fun is there to teach me today?" The morning sun shone in, and the sound of milk came from the door.

Zhuge Liang looked up, only to see Liu Ling's big black eyes staring at him, biting a finger, poking his head from the door of the study!

Looking at this cute little guy, Zhuge Liang's tired face was swept away, he picked up the feather fan on the table and stood up, smiled, and said, "Oh, it's Ling'er, have you learned all the five element diagrams that you taught you a few days ago?"

"It's been a long time ago—" Liu Ling agreed, wanting to enter the house, but the man was too short, not much higher than the threshold of the study, and the little guy only turned over for a long time, so he said, "I learned it a long time ago, grandma said that I learned so fast!"

On his face, he had a smug look, biting his fingers and salivating, waiting for Zhuge Liang to praise him.

"Haha!" Zhuge Liang nodded, stood up and walked to the desk, and picked up the little guy, "Oh, you're getting heavier and heavier, and grandpa can't even hold you!"

"Of course!" Liu Ling grabbed Zhuge Liang's somewhat gray beard with his hand and said, "I want to grow up quickly, my mother said that when I grow up, I can go outside with my father!"

Zhuge Liang flicked Liu Ling's head, nodded and smiled, and said, "That's a good point, but if you don't have any skills, you will suffer if you go out!"

"No," said the little fellow, glaring, "with my grandfather here, no one dares to bully me!"

"Hehe, what if your grandfather isn't by your side one day?" Zhuge Liang asked with a smile.

Liu Ling--Xia hugged Zhuge Liang's neck and shouted, "Don't, I want to be with my grandfather every day!"

Zhuge Liang was helpless, and said, "Okay, good, grandpa is with you every day!"

In the face of innocent children, even if he is a wise man who is well versed in the world, Zhuge Liang is also fond of it, and can't help but kiss the little guy on the face.

"Giggles, grandpa, your beard has pierced me." Liu Ling giggled in Zhuge Liang's arms, pushing Zhuge Liang's mouth with her little hand.

"Prime Minister, Ma Yan begs to see!" At this time, the family came to report.

"Oh!" Zhuge Liang turned around and said, "Let him come in!"

put Liu Ling at the door, "You go and play with grandma, she has made a lot of fun things there!"

"Really?" Liu Ling's eyes lit up, clapped her hands, and said, "The wooden horse that Uncle Ma made for me last time was so fun!"

Zhuge Liang touched his head, "If it's fun, just do two more, go quickly!"

"Hmm!" Liu Ling agreed, waving her little hand, "Goodbye, grandpa!"

Watching the little guy swaying away, Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly and shook his head, this farewell action must have been taught by Liu Changsheng again, although it did not conform to the etiquette of the court, but he couldn't say that it was not good, and he didn't understand where Liu Changsheng learned it.

I can't help but think of Liu Changsheng and others who are far away in Mobei, although there was news sent a few months ago, but I don't know what the situation is recently, but thinking of Liu Changsheng's skills, and Zhang Bao, Zhao Tong, Jiang Wei, Deng Ai and others to help, it shouldn't be a problem.

These young people are all - Shi Junjie, the pillars of Shu in the future, judging from the current situation, I am afraid that the great cause of restoring the Han family still depends on those people to complete, although there are some regrets, but it also makes him worry a lot.

From Jingzhou to Yizhou, his grand cause can be carried out smoothly, if it weren't for Liu Changsheng's sudden change and saving Guan Yu, he still doesn't understand what the current court is like, thinking of this, he can't help but sigh.

"Why is the prime minister sighing?" As soon as Ma Yan walked in, he heard Zhuge Liang's sigh.

In Chang'an for half a year, Ma Jian re-established the intelligence system, and seeing that Jiang Wei's brother Jiang Changsheng could take on the big responsibility, he ordered him to be in charge of intelligence, and accepted Fu Yuan, a native of Wuyuan County, as a deputy to take charge of the intelligence of the entire northwest.

This Fu Yuan was originally a thief who walked the rivers and lakes, and he was agile, and he wanted to do a big case in Chang'an, but he was recognized by Ma Jian and arrested him. Jiang Changsheng and Fu Yuan-Wen-Wu cooperated very tacitly, and after being familiar with the whole process, Ma Jian returned to Chengdu, and the final decision on the information was handed over to Xu Ling and Xun Fang for processing, and the important information was sent to Chengdu.

261 The Trend of the World

"It's nothing,—I just sighed," Zhuge Liang turned around and asked, "What kind of military situation did you come here?"

Ma Jian handed the two brocade silks in his hand to Zhuge Liang, "Recently, there has been news from Wei and Eastern Wu."

"Oh?" Zhuge Liang took the brocade silk and opened it with a frown, - all the information was directly decided after being analyzed by Ma Yan, this time he came to find himself, what important information should be.

Zhuge Liang walked to the desk and sat down while watching, motioned for Ma Jian to sit down, looked up and asked, "What do you think of these two pieces of information?"

Ma Tan paused, hugged his fists and replied, "According to the subordinates, although Sun Quan deposed the Taizi Sun He, the third son Sun Liang has grown up and established himself as the Tai Xiao, which has no impact on the Eastern Wu court.

Zhuge Liang nodded and motioned for Ma Jian to continue! Ma Jian continued, "Lu Boyan is in Yangzhou - he can hold on to Wei generals Sima Yi, Cao Zhen and others, it can be seen that this person is not an easy person, and the generals of Eastern Wu also trust him very much, and he has the style of Zhou Gongjin back then, and there are Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong and others in Eastern Wu

If you don't take enough, you will have more than enough to defend the city." Zhuge Liang nodded and smiled, and said, "What you said is true, although Dongwu lost the land of Jingnan, and because Tai Shiheng and others lost some money and grain, but they were injured at the end of their temperament, I am afraid that they still have the heart of covetousness, there are two generals to guard the town, and Nanjun is not a big problem, but it is the ping pong of longevity, which is always the trouble of Cao Wei's henchmen, and the attention of the two countries."

I'm afraid it's all here."

Ma Jian hugged his fists and said, "What the prime minister said is right, Dongwu has been defeated repeatedly in recent years, and he has not advanced but retreated, and now the ping forces are in Yangzhou, and Jingzhou is no threat."
