Chapter 20: Marriage and Prophecy

The dividing line between Shu and Wu is not very clear, after all, there are often ghosts wandering there, and over time, no one dares to cross it, and the stories circulating there have also become unbelievable rumors in the book.

"Hehey, there's something wrong with your teleportation array, how did we get to this place? Didn't you say okay to go to the Dongfeng Altar? ”

"Force~" Mengqi raised his hand in approval.

The messenger was also a little surprised, but unapologetically pointed to the location on the virtual projection and said, "Ah, sorry, I misremembered the teleportation location...... Looks like we'll have to walk over there, and anyway, the Dongfeng Altar and where we are don't look far on the map......"

Guiguzi was furious, "Where is not far, at least the distance across most of the desert in the clouds!" ”

The messenger spread his hands ("""......"""

Guiguzi wanted to cry without tears, "We have to stay in this unknown jungle for half a month, but we will be eaten by these demon seeds!" ”

"Ah, the demon seed is here, let's run quickly!"

"Force, hurry!"

"Ah, it's so angry!"

The branches are cold and plum, and the earth is covered in silver.

Three-point place, Yicheng, thatched cottage.

The general, dressed in military uniform, fastened his headband, stepped out of the room with a gun, and turned to be startled by the heavy snow piling up in the courtyard.

He walked to the other courtyard with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and was about to knock on the door, when the door opened, and he bumped into a military advisor dressed in white.

The military advisor was holding a scroll in his hand, his face was like a crown of jade, but he was in his twenties, although he had just woken up, his eyes were like cold stars dazzling, and he was very clear.

The general did not squint, and bowed respectfully, "Strategist, it is snowing a lot outside, and I have never seen such a big snow." ”

The military advisor stood in the corridor under the eaves, squinted his eyes and nodded, "Ah, this level of snow is indeed rare, I have never seen such a large snow fall in Shudi." ”

"Strategist, do you need me to deal with the snow first? Or do you need to be helped with government affairs first? According to the estimated time of the envoy of Wu Land, they have now arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, do they want to inform the Lord Lord? ”

The military advisor raised his hand, gently brushed the snow from the general's shoulder, and said faintly, "No need, I have already led him to the backyard of Wenting Academy, if the other party is here for marriage, I am not afraid that the lord will regret it on the spot." ”

"Whoa!"

It is the cold winter wax moon, the snow is falling, and the warm sun breaks through the layers of cold clouds and shines into the huge house, which makes people feel a little warm.

This winter is really cold, and it is said that even the harbor where Wu has been roaring all year round has been frozen.

The scattered pavilions and attics, small bridges and flowing water, look like a fairyland on earth.

The young monarch disregarded his manners and went on a rampage in the courtyard, and when he caught everyone, he asked, "What about the military advisor and Ah Chan?" ”

"Where did Kong Ming take him again?"

"What? Platoon? And what about General Zhao? ”

"Oh, we went together......"

Isn't that the only way to do it is for him to face it alone?

……

In the warm pavilion, the fierce-faced man poured tea alone and asked his colleagues on the side, "Why is the lord so anxious?" Is something going on? ”

The middle-aged man sitting on the Yin seat touched his beard, closed his eyes and said, "Wu Di has come to the envoy, he wants to marry, and now the other party has arrived at the city lord's mansion." ”

The sturdy old man who was also shirtless on a cold day blew the tea leaves floating in the tea bowl, and interjected, "I heard that the other party is the sister of the famous Jiangdong Xiaobawang in Wu Di, and Shu Di and Wu Di have formed an alliance, and they must show sincerity." ”

The fierce man nodded, "Ah, that is to say, the lord has to marry the eldest lady opposite." ”

The middle-aged beard said, "I heard that although the eldest lady is beautiful, she is capable of carrying the crown...... The future of our lord is worrisome! ”

The white-haired old man said, "I heard that the third lady of the Sun family is beautiful and moving, which is rare in the world. ”

The middle-aged beard became interested, "Oh, in detail? ”

The white-haired old man said, "Not inferior to the four beauties in the world, sinking fish and geese, closing the moon and shy flowers, understand?" ”

The big man who poured the tea interjected, "Heh, you two just blow nonsense, if you let the military advisor know that you are talking about the future master and mother...... Hum! ”

The bearded man changed the subject, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about it, but why did the lord gather us here?" ”

"We're all here, who is in front to receive the envoy of Wu Land?"

The big man who poured tea said, "The military advisor has already passed with the young master, and he is worried that the lord will regret his marriage, so he will go over to stabilize the other party first, and then the lord will want to run, but he can't run." ”

"Is it our role to keep an eye on him?"

"Yes."

Castle Lord's Mansion Lobby.

Among the crowd, at a glance, I saw a delicate girl with two ponytails dressed in green, she was sitting on the main seat with an impatient face, her fingers constantly tapping on the table, and her heart was so furious that she was flying.

As the eldest lady of the Sun family, she is not worried about getting married.

But no one dared to marry her, because she represented Wu Di behind her, and marrying her would have to pay a corresponding price, and Shu Di just wanted to form an alliance with them.

So, she was forced to embark on a journey north.

Although she encountered some interesting people and events after escaping on the way, she eventually returned to her team.

At this moment, sitting on the Yin seat opposite her was the famous Zhuge Liang of the King Continent.

Well, I learned a long time ago from my close friend Xiao Qiao that the first student of Jixia is Zhuge Liang, who is known as a peerless genius.

He was tasked with exploring the mysteries of the Book of Heaven and has since walked in every corner of the world.

Eventually, he settled in the grassland of Shu and devoted himself to studying the clues he had obtained.

But the return of Xu Fu, the king of the blood clan, and the unexpected death of his friend Cai Yong, forced him to focus on the confrontation with the hero Cao Cao.

Now, above the red cliffs, the silent terrifying weapon Dongfeng Altar has been awakened again, and he has participated in this war.

And, take control of the Dongfeng Altar.

The miracle that stands in Wu is controlled by the military advisors of Shu, and for Jiang County, it is like a time bomb on his side.

The alliance with Shu is imminent, and marriage is the best way.

At the same time, it is also necessary to take control of the Dongfeng Altar in your hands.

It's just that there is one point that the eldest lady is very dissatisfied.

The monarch of Shu actually had a son.

She doesn't want to be a stepmother, and the child is in trouble!

"Miss, you are a witness to the alliance between Shu and Wu, do you agree to this marriage contract?"

"No ......" agrees.

Before he finished speaking, Sun Shangxiang saw that Zhuge Liang had squinted his eyes, like a fox who was just the right amount of cunning.

He smiled, "Even if you don't agree, your lord has to get you to agree." ”

"Tsk......" Sun Shangxiang snorted coldly, really thought she had no way out?

She said, "Although I don't want to be his son's stepmother, but in view of the alliance between Shu and Wudi, which is related to the future of the three lands, I have decided to stay, you won't welcome it, right?" ”

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "How can the eldest lady not be welcomed?" We've been waiting for the eldest lady to come here. However, before the marriage contract is completed, about the Dongfeng Altar, let's face the back row for the time being! ”

"The purpose of our trip is the ownership of the East Wind Altar."

"If you don't get married, you don't have to talk about anything."

"Alas, you're a naked threat, Master Soldier!" At this moment, Liu Bei stepped in, and when his eyes fell on Sun Shangxiang, distant memories invaded his mind again.

In his previous life, he remembered that he said, "Wandering for half a life, how lucky to have this good couple." ”

Since ancient times, beauties love heroes, and heroes are sad to pass the beauty pass.

How did she die in her previous life?

He didn't remember anymore, he should have owed her a lot.

At that time, he was no longer young, but the other party was in his prime.

In this life, did God make up for his regrets?

Although the current world is completely different from the world in his memories of his previous life.

"My lord?" Zhuge Liang was stunned, he didn't expect his main guild to jump out and say such a sentence.

According to the Book of Heaven, the lord of his family should have married in Wudi, but now that people have come to Shudi, there is no reason to let go of this opportunity.

"Yicheng Liu Bei, the word Xuande." Liu Bei bowed to Sun Shangxiang, then lifted his robe and sat cross-legged on the seat.

Sun Shangxiang raised his eyebrows and bowed back, "Jiangjun Sun Shangxiang, I have seen the lord of the country." ”

Liu Bei took off the fat red bird on his hat, handed it to Sun Shangxiang, and then pretended to be calm and analyzed, "The distance between the Dongfeng Altar and Shu is too far, and Wudu is eyeing it again, so we have to think of a way to get the best of both worlds." ”

Zhuge Liang glanced at him and said lazily, "That's why we need to form an alliance, and marriage is a kind of guarantee, understand?" ”

Liu Bei raised his eyebrows, "I know it, but why don't you marry Wu Di yourself?" ”

Zhuge Liang said, "Don't joke about it, the people we are waiting for have not yet appeared, but your people have appeared." ”

Liu Bei persuaded, "Don't wait, maybe you won't appear in this life!" ”

"How do you know if you don't wait?"

"Hey, I'm here mainly for the ownership of the Dongfeng Altar, not for marriage." Sun Shangxiang snorted coldly, causing the two men who were talking to stop bickering, and listened to her continue, "Lord of Shu, I have always had something to say, don't have too many opinions. ”

Liu Bei nodded, "No, eldest miss, please speak." ”

Sun Shangxiang raised her eyebrows, a little surprised, so she said, "You should be able to see that when we first met, I didn't have much affection for you, and you were not the hero I imagined."

Moreover, the first reason is that you already have children, and the future of Shu is his. If your love for Him is shared among our children in the future, it will not be fair to Him.

Second, I think it's just a matter of discussing the attribution of a miracle, not to gamble on the happiness of my life, I'm just going to come and have a look. ”

"Such an answer is expected by me, eldest lady, can you stay in Yicheng for a little longer, I will change your mind."

Zhuge Liang covered his face with a fan, revealing a pair of fox eyes, "Naturally, I will stay longer, after all, the ownership of the Dongfeng Altar still needs to be discussed!" ”

"Hmph, naturally." Sun Shangxiang knew what he was planning, Shu wanted to marry first, but she was not as good as he wanted.

Watching the girl's graceful figure walk out of the hall, Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang, who was leisurely drinking tea, "Are you sure we can hold out until that time?" ”

"Don't worry, she'll definitely come to us first."

"Then I'll leave it all to you. I'm going to go to a nearby town to see if any demons have appeared. ”

"Have a nice trip, my lord."

Sun Shangxiang stayed in the City Lord's Mansion, she waved off her followers and wandered around the City Lord's Mansion.

At this moment, a suffocatingly beautiful figure suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, and a gentle voice sounded in her ears, "Your Excellency is Miss Sun of Jiangjun." ”

Not a question, but an affirmation.

She leaned over with some curiosity and looked at the puppet in front of her, "You know me?" ”

"Not really." The puppet spoke, his tone respectful and detached, "At this time, the only person who can walk around the City Lord's Mansion so arrogantly is Miss Sun of Jiang County. ”

Sun Shangxiang nodded, and walked around the puppet, but didn't find the silk thread, "Fortunately, I've heard of you too, puppeteer Yuange." ”

"Are you looking for the ultimate in beauty?"

"Naturally, there is nothing more beautiful in the world than the creation of time." The puppeteer hidden in the shadows said, "But alas, I have never found the best in the world. ”

Sun Shangxiang raised his eyebrows and said, "The life of regret is also perfect." ”

"I've been taught."

"I'm curious, where are you?"

"Where no one else can find it."

"I've heard you can imitate anyone, right?"

"Yes."

"So, can you imitate my friend's sister?"

"Nope."

"Why?"

"I haven't met her, and besides, you're not my mistress yet, so you can't dictate to me."

"If you said that, I thought you were a helper invited by His Excellency the Military Division." Sun Shangxiang sneered, gave up looking for the puppeteer, turned around and left, "I'm too lazy to pay attention to you, let's go!" ”

In the shadow of the Water Pavilion, the puppeteer took back the puppet and muttered to himself, "Naturally, whatever the senior brother wants, I will achieve it for him." ”

After Sun Shangxiang lived in the City Lord's Mansion for a while, he took the lead in looking for the lord and the prime minister.

"Sure enough, the prime minister is still shrewd." Liu Bei heard Sun Shangxiang's request to see him, and nodded to Zhuge Liang on the Yin table.

"So, Miss Sun, did you agree to the marriage?"

"I agree to the marriage, but there is one more thing that you need to tell me first."

Zhuge Liang raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Sun Shangxiang's eyes sank and looked at Liu Bei, "That kid, it's not yours, right?" ”

Liu Bei, who was blowing the tea leaves in the tea bowl, was startled, and replied with a relaxed expression, "Of course he is my child." ”

Sun Shangxiang continued, "He has the breath of a demon god on his body. ”

Liu Bei was taken aback, not understanding what she meant, "Huh? ”

Sun Shangxiang's eyes were cold, "Don't think I can't see it, you are wary of him, and besides, you don't have to worry about me spreading the word, because you are very important allies." ”

Zhuge Liang narrowed his eyes and didn't answer, "......"

Liu Bei knocked on the tea bowl again and again, his expression unpredictable, "......"

In the end, Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei glanced at each other and decided to continue to conceal it.

"Miss Sun, you should know what the Demon God means."

"There is more than one demon god in this world, Your Excellency the military advisor, your former classmate is also a demon god!"

Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Bei, Liu Bei held his chin and asked with a smile, "How do you know this information?" ”

Sun Shangxiang didn't hide this, "On the way to escape, I met a group of strangely dressed travelers, and the only one of them told me. ”

"These secrets, but even the soldiers under my command don't know, how can he know?"

"I don't know." Sun Shangxiang shook his head, and then looked at him with burning eyes, "She told me at the time that I was destined to marry the monarch of Shu, that is, you, do you believe it?" ”

Zhuge Liang was a little interested and asked, "What is she...... Prophecy? ”

Sun Shangxiang said, "I don't know, but I want to rebel against the prophecy." ”

Zhuge Liang said, "Maybe it's a spy sent by Wudu, Miss Sun, you can tell the difference." ”

"Hmph, I can't tell if they're spies or not?"

"That's not necessarily, but didn't he mention the Dongfeng Altar or something?"

"Nope." Sun Shangxiang was also very helpless, "Her companion told me that if you want to know anything, you have to ask her before she can tell you, and usually she will only look on coldly." ”

Zhuge Liang's eyes flashed with a strange light, his slender fingers played with the teacup, and said lightly, "So, it's a little interesting." ”

"She's quite dangerous, if they hadn't parted ways with me later, I guess they would have broken into the Forbidden Mountains at this moment."

"Huh?" Zhuge Liang narrowed his eyes and realized that things were not so simple.

"What's wrong?"

"According to you, her encounter with you was not an accident, and she didn't say anything else?"

"Yes, when I left, she said......" Sun Shangxiang thought for a moment and repeated, "There is some power, no one can get it, it is the best." ”

At this moment, Sun Shangxiang suddenly realized, "It turns out that she expected it a long time ago!" ”

"......" Zhuge Liang thought to himself, no, she was just good at speculation.

He will do this kind of false prophecy.

Liu Bei said, "It just so happens that we have a proposal for the ownership of the Dongfeng Altar. ”

It's business!

Sun Shangxiang sat up straight, raised his chest and raised his head, "Listen to me." ”

Liu Bei nodded at Zhuge Liang, who said, "We plan to seal the Dongfeng Altar. ”

Sun Shangxiang felt unreasonable when he heard it, "Seal it...... Are you crazy? ”

"We're not crazy, we've been thinking for a long time about how we can hold this power in a thorough balance."

"If Shu Di has been holding on to the Dongfeng Altar, then sooner or later it will start a war with Wu Di, and then Cao Cao will directly descend with an army and seize three points of land, and then it will not be a problem to have the power of the Dongfeng Altar and sweep the entire continent."

"We didn't open it to control the Dongfeng Altar, but to open it to deal with Cao Cao's army so that Shu and Wu would not live under Cao Cao's rule."

"Now that Xu Fu is dead, the power that cannot be controlled by us should also be returned to this land."

After a long silence, Sun Shangxiang said, "It's useless for you to convince me, it's my brother who makes the decision." ”

"It's better to take advantage of the fact that it's still a cold winter and go to Jiangjun to discuss again."

Zhuge Liang sighed leisurely, "Although I had this idea, but ......"

Zhou Yu!

What a headache!
