In the evening, Bowang City was overcrowded, and people everywhere shouted and neighed, and it was as noisy as a bazaar.

Xu Shu summarized the battle report in the government office, counted the materials, and was very busy alone, and transferred Mi Zhu and Sun Qian to assist.

This battle broke Xiahoudun, captured more than 30,000 prisoners, and seized countless weapons, money and food, which have not yet been clearly investigated.

When he was preparing the reward list, the defenders came to report, and someone outside the house asked to see him, but he did not report his name, but only sent a token to bring in.

Xu Shu took it and saw that it was the letter he left in Longzhong, and his heart couldn't help beating wildly, he stood up suddenly, but sat down slowly, and ordered someone to invite him in.

It didn't take long for the figure at the door to flicker, Zhuge Liang arrived at the door, a lupine scarf, a white shirt fluttering, seeing Xu Shu busy at the desk, he smiled and stepped into the hall.

It was not until he was in front of the case that he hugged his fists and said: "Congratulations to Yuan Zhi for making another contribution!" ”

Xu Shu raised his head and said lightly: "The eldest prince has the grace to save my mother, dare not do my best to repay him?" What can compare to Kong Ming's sightseeing, the big wedding is imminent, and he is happy? ”

Zhuge Liang laughed loudly: "After years of not seeing, Yuan Zhi is still so temperamental, and the breath of the rivers and lakes has not diminished in the slightest. ”

Xu Shu put down his pen and said angrily: "People are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves." ”

Zhuge Liang glanced around and asked, "Where is General Zuo?" ”

Xu Shu said: "The general is not in good health, he has been tired all the way, and the overseer didn't sleep all night last night, and he just didn't rest for a long time. ”

Zhuge Liang saw that Xu Shu didn't mean to call someone, so he had to hug his fists and said: "I missed the general twice, I deeply regret it, and I am here to make amends, can Yuan Zhi recommend it on your behalf?" ”

Xu Shu raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhuge Liang: "You still treat me as a friend?" ”

Zhuge Liang smiled: "The four of you and I have become confidants, and we are like brothers and sisters, why do you say this?" ”

Xu Shu said unhappily: "Jun is free and easy by nature, and he is not bound by vulgar etiquette, but he came to the door twice to avoid it, which is too bad for Xu to give face." ”

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly and said with a smile: "If it weren't for my refusal to meet, I don't know the general's intentions, I'm afraid that if I give you face, you and I will both lose face." ”

Xu Shu was stunned, pointed at Zhuge Liang and said with a smile: "Kong Ming, Kong Ming, you are still so cautious, you don't scatter eagles if you don't see rabbits!" ”

With a smile, the estrangement was gone, and Xu Shu pulled Zhuge Liang into a seat and prepared wine to entertain him.

Zhuge Liang sighed: "In today's world, not only do kings choose ministers, but ministers also choose kings!" If the trust is not human, not only will it fail to report the country's achievements, but it will also delay the common people, how dare Liang be hasty? ”

Xu Shu said with a smile: "The talent of the public is far better than me, Wolong is out of the mountain, why are you afraid of Cao thief, why worry about the uncertainty of the world?" ”

Zhuge Liang sighed lightly: "Yuan Zhi's sentence 'The rise and fall of the world, the husband is responsible' is ashamed of me!" ”

Xu Shu shook his head and smiled: "This is not my words, but also from the eldest son." ”

"Oh?" Zhuge Liang was deeply surprised, paused and raised his glass and said: "That's it, drink a cup together!" ”

Xu Shu drank and said with emotion: "Yesterday's big victory, the first credit should be remembered by the eldest son, I am just icing on the cake." ”

Zhuge Liang was surprised again and asked, "The eldest prince also knows the art of war?" ”

Xu Shu shook his head and said: "Although the eldest prince does not know the art of war, he has ambition and strategy. The eldest prince was ruined, and the whole army was dispatched, killing Cao Jun and abandoning his armor, and I expected that Xiahoudun had not been prepared, how could there be a desperate person in the first battle? ”

"It shows that the eldest prince is bold!" Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and nodded slightly, "Decisive killing, knowing people well, the Liu family has such talents, why worry about the Han family?" ”

Xu Shu frowned and said: "Although Xiahoudun was defeated and left, Cao Cao will be angry and come with a large army, and there are 300,000 soldiers and horses in Runan, and with the strength of Jingzhou, it is not enough to fight for a long time." ”

Zhuge Liang said: "Cao Cao is powerful, you can't compete with him, I am here to discuss with the eldest prince for the matter of Jingzhou." ”

"It's not early, I'll take you to see him!" Xu Shu got up and said with a smile: "Kong Ming doesn't know, since Cai Mao, the eldest prince has been talking about the dragon and phoenix all day long, if he knows that the monarch is coming, he will be overjoyed." ”

The two turned to the back hall, and when they saw that the bedroom door was still closed, Xu Shu waved back the defenders and was about to wake up Liu Qi.

Zhuge Liang stopped: "The eldest prince came to the door twice, Liang was rude first, why not wait for a while?" ”

"There is a celebration feast tonight, the hour has come, and it is time to wake him up."

Xu Shu signaled that Zhuge Liang didn't need to be polite, and gently pushed the door in, but saw that Liu Qi was half-lying on the bed, and had already woken up, and was stunned for a moment: "The general has not rested? ”

"War is imminent, how can you sleep soundly?" Liu Qi stretched his waist and said angrily: "Who has a big dream, I know it in my life."

The court did not sleep enough, and it was late outside the window. ”

Xu Shu was stunned, stroked his palms and laughed: "The general's words are quite Wolong's style. ”

Zhuge Liang paused slightly at the door, his eyes flickered, Liu Qi's words seemed to mean something, implicitly in line with the artistic conception of the grass hall, could it be that he had really become holy?

Liu Qi sighed: "Wolong is a hermit, scattered and carefree, but I shoulder a heavy responsibility, I dare not resign, how can I compare with it?" ”

Xu Shu said with a smile: "If a distinguished guest is coming today, he will be able to share the general's worries." ”

"Guest?" Liu Qi frowned slightly, and suddenly lifted the quilt and said in surprise: "Could it be that Mr. Wolong has arrived, please come and see you." ”

Xu Shu said with a smile: "General, don't worry, Kong Ming is here." ”

"Where are the people?" Liu Qi ran out of the door barefoot, and saw a person standing with a long body, his posture fluttering, and his bearing was really extraordinary, and his eyes suddenly widened.

Zhuge Liang's eyes flashed, and he bowed down and said: "Zhuge Liang, a savage from Nanyang, came to ask for guilt, and I hope the general will forgive me!" ”

"Sir is here!" Liu Qi hugged Zhuge Liang and said excitedly: "I look forward to Wolong for a long time, and now I have to look at my face, I have no regrets in this life, please come in quickly." ”

Xu Shu walked over and said with a smile: "The general is a little safe, I will accompany Kong Ming to the front hall to wait first, the celebration banquet will also be arranged, and it is not too late to ask the general to change his clothes and come again." ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Liu Qi looked down and saw that he was still barefoot in pajamas, hugged his fists and said, "It was my rudeness that made Mr. laugh." ”

Zhuge Liang was quite moved, and said goodbye to Xu Shu, and Liu Qi immediately asked someone to wash and change clothes.

The soldier guarding the door came in with a basin towel just now, Liu Qi patted him on the shoulder and praised: "Liu Neng, well done!" ”

The soldier scratched his head and smiled: "Dad has explained, let the villain do things more and pay more attention, and think about the son everywhere, the villain knows that the son has been worried about Mr. Wolong for a long time, so he dares to wake up the son." ”

This pro-soldier is Liu Neng, the son of the housekeeper Liu Fu, Liu Fu is too old to travel far, so he asked his son to follow him, and he is clever and capable.

Liu Qi wiped his face and instructed: "No one is allowed to tell me what happened just now." ”

Liu Neng bowed down and said, "Don't worry, son, I won't even tell my father about this." ”

Liu Neng came to report the news just now, and Liu Qi jumped up from the bed, if it wasn't for Xu Shu entertaining Zhuge Liang for a while, it would be difficult to act with sleepy eyes.

In order to maintain the mystery and let Zhuge Liang return to his heart, he first plagiarized a poem, and then greeted people barefoot, this sincerity is enough, right?
