Liu Bei is now trapped in the shallows, life and death are hanging in Zhao Shu's hands, and he is naturally very excited to see his second son. And Brother Liu Yong, seeing that his father was so old, was also very distressed, especially his youngest son Liu Li, who pounced on Liu Bei when he saw him, "Father, father" kept shouting. The father and son revealed their true feelings, and they all cried bitterly.

Huang Hao stood aside and couldn't help persuading, and occasionally wiped his tears with his sleeve, of course, his tears were just water. Kong Ming also sighed with a boo on the side, but Zhao Yun and Huan Yi were still indifferent. Zhao Shu's heart is indeed a little sour, how can Liu Bei also be a longevity person, and the two sons are young, thinking of the words "respecting the old and loving the young", Zhao Shu's face is hot.

Finally, under the persuasion of everyone, Liu Bei and his second son calmed down, and let the two sit next to the collapse, but said to Kong Ming: "I am infected with a vicious disease, and I can hardly see the prime minister." Kong Ming replied: "Your Majesty is blessed with great fortune, and you will be able to overcome this calamity." He said a lot of reassuring words. Liu Bei also replied with some irrelevant words, and several monarchs and ministers chose to be obedient and obedient, regardless of the affairs of the court.

After a while, Liu Bei was a little tired, and said: "I am not feeling well, and I can't talk to the secretaries, so I can retreat first." Zhao Shu and Kong Ming had no choice but to bow and leave, and Liu Bei said: "The prime minister is far away, although I can't wash the dust for it, I am willing to set up a banquet for Jingwei." Zhao Shu hurriedly received the order and replied: "I don't know if the two princes can appreciate it." ”

Liu Yonglang replied loudly: "My father is sick, and my sons and daughters should serve themselves, how dare they have another feast?" One sentence killed Zhao Shu, and he didn't know how to answer. Liu Bei turned to look at Liu Yong, his eyes were full of approval, and said: "Jingwei is under my edict, how can the emperor be so rude?" Since the prince has this filial piety, he can stay in the palace and accompany his father for a long time. ”

Zhao Shu couldn't help but be stunned, although Liu Yong is young, between his words and deeds, he is extraordinary, and he wants to stay by Liu Bei's side, does he have other plans, which is not good for him? Zhao Shu raised his eyes to look at Huan Yi, he also looked helpless, after all, the father and son are very good, and I am a minister, how can I open my mouth to disturb? Looking at Kong Ming again, there is no different color, now it is the key moment, if you are not careful, you will lose all the plates, Zhao Shu coughed lightly, and said: "Your Majesty's dragon body is not safe, you must recuperate, the two little princes stay in the palace, I am afraid that there will be more inconvenience." The Weichen Mansion is still vast, can you ask the two princes to succumb? ”

Liu Yong said categorically: "My father is sick, and he is about to serve him, how can he live elsewhere?" The general was well-intentioned, and he was alone, but he didn't dare to obey his fate. Kong Ming also said: "It is rare for the prince to have such filial piety, which touches the heavens and the earth, and His Majesty will recover one day." In front of everyone, Zhao Shu couldn't say anything, so he had to quit with Kong Ming.

Walking to the palace gate, Kong Ming spoke: "Where is the general's mansion?" Can Liang go and disturb a meal? "Kong Ming is worthy of being Kong Ming, if Zhao Shu arrives in Chengdu, he must be looking forward to leaving as soon as possible, but he still has to go to Zhao Shu's mansion to wash the dust. Zhao Shu looked at Zhao Yun behind him, with this tiger general, he really didn't take the tens of thousands of male soldiers in the White Emperor City in his eyes.

Now that Kong Ming has spoken, how can Zhao Shu refuse? Nai smiled: "It's not far away, Prime Minister please." "Ride with it. Zhao Shu and Kong Ming laughed freely in front, but let Huan Yi and Zhao Yun concentrate on the back, and the two before and after were in stark contrast. When he arrived at the general's mansion, he saw Ye Feng looking at the door from a distance, looking anxious, and when he saw Zhao Shu coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "General, Tianyi has taken his tribesmen out of the city." ”

This was expected by Zhao Shu, Tianyi saw that Zhao Shu did not kill Zhao Yun, he must be unwilling, and he stayed in the city to cause chaos for Zhao Shu, and it was better to leave. Zhao Shunai turned his head to Huan Yi and said: "Tianyi left angrily, for fear of his life, the general can quickly lead people to guard the four gates." His Majesty's palace has also sent additional manpower to ensure that no one is allowed to enter or leave without my order. Huan Yi took the order and left.

Kong Ming was on the side, his face changed slightly, and he said with a smile: "Just one person in Tianyi, why does the general have to work so hard?" Zhao Shu also smiled: "At the time of turmoil, Shu didn't dare to be sloppy in the slightest. Liu Yong insisted on staying in the palace, mostly with bad intentions, and Zhao Shu didn't want Liu Bei to pass on things like the edict of clothes. He dismounted and went to the door, and said, "Prime Minister, please." He also instructed the family to prepare a banquet for Kong Ming and Zhao Yun.

When they arrived in the hall, the guest and the host sat down, and Yan Peng was also there at that time, accompanying him to the last seat. When the wine and food were served, Zhao Shu and Kong Ming talked and laughed during the banquet, and there was no unpleasantness. Just when he was in the mood, a general stepped inside and said: "King Lu's car was about to go out of the city, and General Huan was ordered to stop it. ”

Before Zhao Shu had an idea, Zhao Yun shouted loudly: "How bold is Huan Yi? Ye Feng also knew Zhao Yun's bravery, and he was afraid that he would be in trouble, so he hurriedly protected Zhao Shu. Zhao Shu looked at Kong Ming coldly, if it weren't for his own fate, he was afraid that he would really let Liu Yong bring something out of the White Emperor City, and Kong Ming dared to stumble himself alone, which was indeed bold.

Kong Ming saw Zhao Shu looking at him, so he shook the feather fan lightly and said with a smile: "Zilong is a little restless, Jingwei is here, everything is up to him." Looking at Kong Ming's smile, it really made Zhao Shu feel unfathomable, and his heart was cold, anyway, the matter has come to this, if you want to be a loyal minister again, you can't get it, if you don't do it, you can't stop it, it's better to get rid of Kong Ming together. Zhao Shu stood up suddenly, and was about to drink the Lingjia general.

Yan Peng got up and said, "General, prime minister, humble position is soft-spoken, but there are a few words, I don't know whether to say it or not?" Zhao Shu nodded slightly, and then listened to him: "I only want to enter the six ears, and I also ask General Zhao Yun, how about Captain Ye temporarily retire?" Zhao Shu turned his eyes to look at Kong Ming, and he also happened to look at the general, and they all nodded in agreement. Zhao Yun, Ye Feng and even the generals of the family all withdrew from the hall one by one.

Yan Peng saw that there were only three people left in the hall, so he spoke again: "The two adults want to seek the world?" Want Anxi Chuanye? When Zhao Shu heard him ask like this, he wanted to say that he had formed an alliance with Kong Ming, but he was quite disapproving, and then he looked at Kong Ming's face with a slight look of surprise, it seems that Yan Peng's so-called Kong Ming makes people all kinds of nonsense.

Yan Peng saw that neither of them answered, but said: "When I heard for a long time that the prime minister was in Longzhong, I offered His Majesty the strategy of 'uniting Wu to resist Cao', but now I can't join hands with General Zhao?" The transportation between Sichuan and Chu is inconvenient, and the two of them cannot be saved, the prime minister is alone in Sichuan, Jingxiang has something to do, who will come to help? The general Changzhen Jingzhou also knows that this place of the four wars, Wei and Wu all want to get it quickly, and they are not the ones who can be entrusted. Both adults want to get Kawanaka? In this way, how can a state compete with the world? ”

When Kong Ming heard this, his face became more and more solemn, and he expected to be like Zhao Shu, knowing that it was useless to fight, but he was worried that the other party would not tolerate it. After Yan Peng finished speaking a few words, he didn't say anything more, but he couldn't stop looking at Zhao Shu's faces. The hall was extremely quiet for a while, and it took a long time for Kong Ming to take a long breath and ask me, "What does the general think?" ”

Shu Han's national strength is weak, with the wisdom of Kong Ming, and there is still a hatred in the sky of Qishan, how can Zhao Shu be better than him? It's just that Zhao Shu, how does he know that Kong Ming will not betray the alliance and harm me in the future? Nai smiled bitterly: "What is the Prime Minister's mind?" Looking at each other, each of them seemed to have some intention in their hearts, but Zhao Shu was more calm than Kong Ming, Liu Bei was still in Zhao Shu's hands, and he had tens of thousands of people in Jing Xiang, Kong Ming may have a good strategy, but he may not be able to do it.

There was a commotion outside, and Huan Yi shouted loudly: "General, His Royal Highness King Lu has arrived." Zhao Shu was happy in his heart, no matter what Kong Ming's plan was, it must be related to Liu Yong, as long as he didn't let one person ride out of the city, what could he do to me? After hearing this, Kong Ming also had a slight displeasure on his face, and said: "The general really wants to risk the disapproval of the world, you must know that everyone is shining gold and destroying bones. ”

This is the most different between Zhao Shu and Kong Ming, although he has the intention to seize power, he still cares about reputation, while Zhao Shu will not consider the so-called loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness as long as there is no way out, or when it is difficult to walk. Zhao Shu smiled faintly and said: "The prime minister's words are exaggerated, and Shu doesn't want the world to spit together, and after his death, he will be stinking for 10,000 years." But ......" is only here, and the rest should be Kong Ming's statement.

Kong Ming looked at Zhao Shu for another moment, and suddenly smiled: "The only people in the world are talented and intelligent, only generals and bright ears." If you can work together to assist the young master, you will be able to achieve great things. His two sentences are quite stealing Cao Cao's cooking wine and talking about heroes, but he already has the heart to join forces. But Zhao Shu was a little hesitant and didn't answer for a long time.

Yan Peng knew what Zhao Shu meant in his heart, and asked Kong Mingdao: "Dare to ask the prime minister, how is the current matter over?" Kong Ming said: "Your Highness's daughter's body, how can you wait for a long time?" The general can go out with Ryo to greet him. Without waiting for Zhao Shu to say anything more, he should go out of the hall first. Zhao Shu saw that Yan Peng was quite happy, so he asked: "Gong once said that Kong Ming had a fellowship, but why didn't Kong Ming realize it?" Yan Peng said with a smile: "Kong Ming had no intention, I tried the general's heart." Zhao Shu "hehe" smiled: "Why do you try me?" Yan Pengfu smiled and said: "Forgive me for taking the liberty of saying it, the general's talent is no less than Kong Ming, but his ambition is quite inferior. Zhao Shunai laughed and said, "Those who know me, Shengping also." He came out with him.

The courtyard was already full of people, and Liu Yongli was standing beside Huan Yi, slightly embarrassed, but his expression was very arrogant. Zhao Shu stepped forward and saluted slightly, and said: "Weichen has no way to rule, so that he offends His Highness, I hope Your Highness will not blame." Liu Yong snorted coldly and said: "From the point of view of Gu, the general's rule is very good, without the general's order, even the king can't go out of the city, what does this mean?" ”

Zhao Shu said unhurriedly: "In this eventful autumn, Your Majesty has given Weichen the important task of city defense, how dare Weichen slack off at all?" Weichen once ordered all the doors, and without the order of the ministers, they were not allowed to go out without permission. The military order is like a mountain, has Your Highness ever heard of it? ”

"That's fine." Liu Yong nodded and said: "Even if what the general said is reasonable, now that Gu has seen the general, I don't know if I can get out of the city?" Zhao Shu saluted again and said: "When he was facing the saint, His Royal Highness once said that he would accompany His Majesty, but now he has to go out of the city after a while. Where is the responsibility of Weichen, dare to ask His Highness, what do you want to do? ”

"You're bold." Liu Yong was furious and said angrily: "What is the whereabouts of the lonely king, how can you ask?" "The descendant of the Son of Heaven is born with a majesty that is different from ordinary people, but it's a pity that he doesn't have a soldier in his hands, but he can't scare Zhao Shu. After Liu Yong scolded, he saw that Zhao Shu just looked at him coldly, and did not speak, after all, he was young, and he didn't know what to do, so he looked at Kong Ming in a blink of an eye.

Seeing Zhao Shu like this, Zhao Yun's face was already as cold as frost, and his hand pressed on the hilt of the sword, but he was stunned by Kong Ming's eyes. Seeing Liu Yong's gaze, Kong Ming stepped forward, glanced at Zhao Shu, and said to Liu Yong: "General Zhao is the heavy defense of the city, and now although the rebellion is peaceful, there are many remnants of the party, even if His Royal Highness wants to go out of the city, he should also send more guards to make sure that everything is safe." ”

Liu Yong didn't expect Kong Ming to speak like this, his expression changed greatly, he was both shocked and angry, and pointed at him and said: "You ......" Kong Ming ignored it, and continued: "Your Majesty is sick in bed, and the prince should serve left and right, but now that it is very time, His Royal Highness still rarely goes out." ”

"Good, good, good." Liu Yong shouted three times in a row, but Zhao Shu didn't know where the "good" was. Zhao Shu looked at Huan Yi with his eyes and said: "If Your Highness has something to do, Weichen is willing to do it, if there is nothing to do, please move back to the palace." Before Liu Yong could answer, Huan Yi said, "Your Highness, please." In desperation, I had no choice but to go with him.

Zhao Shu watched Liu Yong leave angrily, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, after all, there is nothing to do, what kind of person is Kong Ming, how can he sincerely help his father and son? Looking at Kong Ming again, there was no half of shame on his face. Kong Ming saw Zhao Shu looking at him and said with a smile: "What Yan Gong said just now, Liang is quite intentional, and the general can also reflect on himself." If there is nothing to do, Liang will leave first. ”

Zhao Shulao moved the crowd to come, never thought about joining hands with Kong Ming, after Yan Peng mentioned it, he was a little hesitant, and now Kong Ming personally prescribed oral softness, which made Zhao Shu moved, but nodded and said: "Shu Zidang pondered." "The returner prepared a horse and sent him out of the city. Kong Ming gave in slightly, but Zhao Shu repeatedly refused, but went out together to get on the horse, and rode out of the city.

was speechless all the way, and when he arrived at the city, Kong Ming stopped his horse and persuaded Zhao Shu to stay. The number of courtesies has arrived, and Zhao Shu is no longer strong, and he hugs his fists to say goodbye. Kong Ming took two steps on his horse, but suddenly turned around and asked in a low voice: "Shicai is in the mansion, and the general wants to kill Wuye?" Zhao Shu smiled slightly, and asked instead of answering: "The prime minister doesn't want to kill me?" They looked at each other and laughed. After laughing, Kong Ming lifted the reins and rode away with Zhao Yun and the others.

Yan Peng looked at Kong Ming's back, then turned to look at Zhao Shu, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the general." Zhao Shunai asked, "What is the joy?" Yan Peng replied: "Kong Ming abandoned Liu Yong and left, if there is no change in the matter of the White Emperor, the general will have nothing to worry about." Zhao Shu also smiled, but he was quite unimpressed in his heart, the relationship between Kong Ming and himself was just the beginning, and he didn't know how it would develop in the future.

Back in the mansion, Zhao Shu kept thinking about what Kong Ming was plotting with Liu Yong, although he intercepted him back to the palace, but because of the respect of the prince, he did not interrogate and search. Zhao Shu still felt that something was wrong in his heart, and hurriedly sent someone to inform Huang Hao, asking him to find a way to find out about Liu Yong in the palace. Although Huang Hao is a villain, the villain has the usefulness of a villain, and since he was scolded and rewarded by Zhao Shu, he did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and personally came to Zhao Shu's mansion that night to report the results.
