Chapter 237: The Return of an Old Friend
The great Marx said very rightly that everything that people struggle for is related to their interests.
To put it bluntly, most of the time, decisions are often made only based on the relevant interests of the participants.
Just like Wang Yao, the reason why he fought the main battle was not just to save Liu Bei, who might be under house arrest in Wu State, or to deter Wu State, he also had his own considerations.
It is true that Wei is indeed Shu's greatest enemy, and Wang Yao, who has a deep hatred for Cao Cao, is even more so.
But the battle of the Wei Highlands more than a month ago made Wang Yao deeply understand his weakness and the strength of Wei. There is no doubt that Wang Yao will one day return to the heights of Wei, but before that, he will not challenge Wei like last time, willfully and blindly......
Therefore, I don't know if it was fate or coincidence, Wu Guo may have placed Liu Bei under house arrest, giving Wang Yao, who was secretly thinking about what way to enter the canyon battlefield again, a chance to push the boat!
Among the high-level leaders, as a staunch anti-war faction, Li Ping, who was in charge of the financial and logistics of Shu, under Wang Yao's explanation, this old man who just wanted to 'be in a corner of peace', finally began to understand that blindly avoiding war would only make the enemy more and more arrogant and without concern, and then let Shu fall into an endless whirlpool of attrition, so he agreed to the decision to attack Wu on the spot.
What about Zhang Fei? This big man who is not satisfied with his eldest brother is not convinced, but he is afraid that his power will be hollowed out, and he is also eager to rescue Liu Bei and let him come back to preside over the overall situation of Shu.
As for the rest, Zhuge Liang, Luna, and Huang Zhong have been on Wang Yao's side from the beginning, while Guan Yu is an out-and-out neutral......
Therefore, regarding the high-level parliament from "Liu Bei may fall into a crisis" to "whether he should take the initiative to send troops to attack Wu State", from the initial stalemate, to the end, it was unexpectedly unanimously passed as the end!
"I was surprised by how well you know how to weigh the pros and cons and analyze the situation."
After the meeting, when there was no one beside him, Zhuge Liang said to Wang Yao while preparing for the draft work for the war.
"That's right, Ah Yao, although I don't quite understand why General Zhang and Mr. Li Ping suddenly agreed to your proposal, but it feels so powerful!" Luna was also next to her, her face flushed slightly, and her crystal clear eyes shimmered with a beautiful glow like stars.
That's tenderness and heat.
Although this girl doesn't understand the hearts of the political people, she admires Wang Yao's behavior of standing up at a critical moment and overwhelming the audience.
Wang Yao smiled and rubbed Luna's little head before turning to Zhuge Liang and said, "If you want opponents to agree with you, it's useless to be reasonable, you have to come up with enough relevant benefits to make them happy, this is a simple truth." ”
"Oh?" Zhuge Liang looked at Wang Yao, who was secretive, and showed a meaningful smile: "What? When, it's your turn to preach to me. ”
"Don't get me wrong, I just think you're good at everything, but you're too upright and too one-eyed. Sometimes, it is harmless for a gentleman to be moderately tactful. ”
With these words, Wang Yao led Luna out of the council room, and in the distance, there was a conversation between the two.
"Ah Yao, come with me to visit the West Market, I heard that the vendors there have recently bought a lot of new jewelry from the Western Regions, let's buy some back to be used as decorations, right?"
“...... Sister, my brother's salary is still much lower than yours, you have to be merciful, otherwise the food expenses will not be enough next month. ”
"It's okay, I have gold coins on me, I'll pay for the money, you just need to accompany me to help me get something."
In the conference hall, people took tea and cooled, and only Zhuge Liang was left.
This conscientious man, while coughing lightly as if he couldn't help it, was holding a pen on a pile of bamboo slips to give instructions on a huge amount of military affairs, and faintly, there seemed to be his muttering voice.
"It's too one-sided...... Oh, it seems that a long time ago, someone once said that. ”
......
......
Jingzhou West City, busy with traffic, people come and go.
Just like most modern girls are born with a penchant for shopping, Luna walks in the front, happily shopping for all kinds of decorations, like a beautiful white butterfly, wandering between the stalls and shops with all kinds of goods.
In Jingzhou, there are often heroes walking around, so for Luna, a dazzling star-like existence, the surrounding civilians are not used to seeing it, but there will always be people who secretly glance at Wang Yao with a strange gaze from time to time.
After all, he was able to start from a small soldier all the way at the age of just over his twenties, and gradually rose to the position of the three-way overseer, becoming the youngest high-level personnel of Shu in history.
As a result, people found that in fact, they did not have three heads and six arms, and they were not even burly, as rumored to be, with a moderate body and a moderate length, just like an ordinary soldier. It's just that on that delicate face with a hint of calmness, the infiltrating knife mark on the left eye, and the dark red pupils that are cold like demon seeds, it is inevitable that people will retreat, and they will feel 'not easy to approach'.
And Wang Yao didn't care about this, along the way, he just carried out the work of 'porter', and followed Luna very patiently not far behind.
From the moment he inherited Su An's fire and will, he was already destined to fight for the ambition of liberating the soldiers for a long, long time, which means that the original promise to leave the Three Kingdoms with Luna and travel around the continent after collecting the six god costumes is likely to be broken and postponed indefinitely.
So, whether out of guilt or love, Wang Yao cherishes the time he can spend alone with Luna now.
"How? Are these earrings good-looking? ”
In a small shop with elegant decoration, Luna picked up a bright ear chain on the counter, placed it next to her earlobe, and then turned around and winked at Wang Yao playfully.
Luna was born pure and fair-skinned, and when she tilted her little head and blinked her eyes like this, between her bright eyes and teeth, there was a touching and charming atmosphere that stood out, pure but soft, when the two sexiest sides of a woman were presented on her face at the same time, this exquisite and charming beauty was enough to captivate all beings.
Wang Yao, who was like an electric shock, subconsciously nodded and praised: "It's beautiful!" ”
"Really? Then I bought it? The corners of Luna's mouth twitched, and a smile spread across her face.
"Uh, I'm talking about you." Wang Yao added.
Luna froze.
Later, when she came to her senses, a lovely faint flush suddenly appeared on her cheeks, and she couldn't help but start her head and whispered: "You are not serious again!" ”
Having said that, the woman is the one who pleases herself, and when she saw that Wang Yao liked it, she happily turned around and asked the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, how much does this earring chain cost?" ”
The boss is a middle-aged man with a fat body, with a greasy face and eyes only the size of mung beans, a typical philistine profiteer, but he is such a person, but when Luna and Wang Yao enter the store, they are like serving the God of Wealth, and they are afraid that there will be a moment of neglect.
In fact, it's not for nothing that the boss is so frightened. In the past, Zhang Shao, the son of the hero, has long been used to bullying and dominating the market in this West Market, it is said that Zhang Shao once saw a valuable jewelry nearby, and the store was beaten half to death by the soldiers around Zhang Shao just because he mentioned a money word to Zhang Shao, and finally even the store door was sealed!
How can a son of a hero be like this, let alone a hero and an overseer? If the hospitality is not good, it is not good that people can overturn the whole store with one hand!
So, when he saw Luna asking for the price, the boss immediately rubbed his hands and laughed repeatedly, and the mung bean's big eyes smiled into a thin line: "Lord Luna and the Yao Overseer are here, and the shop is full of flowers, why do you need to pay anything?" If you like it, this earring bracelet should be honored by the villain! ”
As a result, as soon as the boss's voice fell, Luna was unhappy, and stared at the middle-aged man with a serious face: "Boss......"
(.. •˘_˘•..) ......
"Yes, yes!" The boss hurriedly straightened his waist, honestly afraid. He didn't say anything wrong, did he?
"What do you mean by that?" Luna asked again, her face full of seriousness.
"Just.... That's it... That's what it means! If you're not satisfied, the villain ...... An extra pair for you? "The boss sweats like rain, like a great enemy, as if Luna can eat people.
"Can you send it again?" Luna's little face was full of incredulity, "Aren't you afraid of losing money in this business?!" ”
Boss: "...... Aha?? ”
Σ(°△°|||) ︴
The dumbfounded boss suddenly realizes that he and Luna are not on the same channel.
"This is the commodity you worked hard to transport from the Western Regions, it is useless, I can't ask for it in vain, you can set a price." Luna said as she pulled the money around Willow's waist.
This scene, not to mention how touching and unexpected the boss was, it seems that the heroes are not all ruthless monsters as rumored! But he still didn't dare to be careless: "Since you have said so, what do you think...... How about three copper coins? ”
"No! It's so cheap, how can such a beautiful earring chain sell for three copper coins? Sell a silver coin! Luna suggested.
"That, my lord, you don't need so much ......."
"But I think it's worth selling a silver coin!"
So, a very strange scene happened, the seller was eager to give it away, and the buyer blindly raised the price more than three times more expensive than the original, which was later known as the West Market Strange Story.
Anyway, Wang Yao was stunned when he was next to him, and he didn't know whether to say that the girl was too real, or the boss was too afraid of death!
After two more streets, Luna ran into a store specializing in women's intimate clothing, although Wang Yao wanted to follow up to see Luna try on all kinds of Western style revealing underwear show, but after all, under the resolute resistance of the little girl, she leaned against the pillar outside the door and waited depressedly.
"You can see it at night anyway, so why can't you take a look now?" Looking at the endless flow of people on the street, Wang Yao couldn't figure out this problem.
And just when he was bored, out of the corner of Wang Yao's eyes, he accidentally caught a glimpse of the corner of the street, and suddenly turned out a person with a cloth package on his back.
The man was holding a shiny spear upside down, carrying a burden on his back, and his cloth clothes were dirty, as if he hadn't washed it for a long time, and there were wrinkles everywhere, and he looked like a wandering knight who made his home from all over the world.
At this moment, Wang Yao's eyes suddenly lit up!
"Hey! Lao Zhao! ”
