Liu Bei wanted to ask Sima Hui to go to Wollongong with him, but Sima Hui was in the post house for half an hour, so he got up and left under the pretext that he had something to do.

At the same time that Liu Ye sent a letter to Sima Hui, Liu Bei urged Guan and Zhang to change into new clothes, and the three brothers went to the city to buy gifts first, and then went to Wollongong to seek talent.

After two visits, Zhuge Liang was arrogant and self-comparable, and Xu Shu and Sima Hui each had praise.

Liu Bei was like going on a blind date for the first time at this time, the object was praised by the matchmaker as flawless, and the sense of expectation was full.

It was as if there was a fawn living in my heart.

Bouncing and jumping, it's hard to suppress the excitement.

In early spring, the grass grows and the warbler flies.

The warm sun is shining, and everything is budding.

The people of Wollongong took off the shackles of winter and began to move in the fields.

The melting snow and ice will nourish the soil, and farmers will plough the fields and weeds in preparation for spring ploughing.

Spring is the season of hope, Liu Bei is in a very good mood in the fields, and from time to time he asks the people about the talents on the post, and gets all positive feedback.

When I came to the familiar thatched house, I opened the door and was still a familiar servant.

This time I finally heard the good news, Zhuge Liang was at home at this time, but because he returned home late last night, he was still lying in the room at this time.

The servant boy introduced the three of them into the courtyard and was about to enter the inner hall to wake up Zhuge Liang, but was stopped by Liu Bei's long arm.

"Mr. Wolong is tired of walking, please don't disturb Xiantong, my three brothers may as well wait."

"Oh, please do your own"

When the servant boy saw Liu Bei say this, he didn't rush to wake up his master, he gently bowed his hand to the three of them, and then sank into the side room on the left side of the thatched house.

Although the three brothers got up normally early, they stayed with Sima Hui for half an hour, and then bought gifts and hurried away, and it was past the time to come to Wollongong.

Guan Yu glanced up and found that the sun was approaching Zhongtian, so he sneered at Zhang Fei: "It's worthy of the name Wolong, it looks like it's approaching noon, and you're still sleeping."

"Not really."

"The second brother and the third brother can't talk nonsense, Mr. Wolong is tired from walking, it makes sense to sleep a little longer, let's wait patiently, don't make any loud noises."

Liu Bei hurriedly interrupted the two in a deep voice, and then strode to the bottom of the porch and stood like a pine.

At this time, it was close to noon, the door of the central hall of the north main house was hidden, Liu Bei stood outside the door with excitement, he wanted to peek through the crack in the door, but he did not move at all due to etiquette.

Liu Bei was entangled in his heart and didn't know how long he stood until the shadow of the sundial in the courtyard pointed directly downward.

Guan Yu looked at the sundial from time to time, and looked at Liu Bei's position from time to time, his good mood in the morning was exhausted, and he said in his heart that you can really lie on this Wolong.

Zhang Fei was short-tempered, not as calm as Liu Bei and Guan Yu, at first he could still lean on the corner of the wall and wait, but later the sun reached the top of his head, so he got up and paced back and forth in the courtyard.

Due to the irritability in his steps, Liu Bei turned slightly sideways when he saw this, and cast a reproachful look at Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei and Liu Bei looked at each other, and then understood that they would stand still in place, but they were crazy in their hearts thinking of ideas, and said that Kong Minggao was bedridden and rude first, and I couldn't let my eldest brother continue to stand, so I had to make some movement to wake up this guy.

To make a move, you must hit it with one blow, otherwise Wolong will continue to pretend that he can't sleep, and he will be scolded by the eldest brother in vain.

Just go up and smash the door? Or set a fire behind the house?

After all, the eldest brother wants to invite Wolong out of the mountain, which seems to be too much.

By the way, Zhang Fei suddenly had an idea.

He remembered the story he heard in Hefei, when Long Xiang bet with them that Sun Ce would die early in order to keep Lu Su and Liu Ye.

Why don't I find a reason to discuss with my second brother to draw Kong Ming's attention?

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Fei walked up to Guan Yu and said loudly: "Second brother, you left Xu Du with a seal and sealed gold, have you seen Cao Cao, and is he healthy?" ”

"Huh?"

Guan Yu was stunned when he heard this, and immediately understood that Zhang Fei's loud words should have intentionally awakened Wolong, so he also cooperated loudly: "At that time, Cao Cao was in Guandu, and he didn't resign in person for his brother, but he has been in battle for a long time, and his health should be quite good."

"Tsk, that's a pity." Zhang Fei shook his head and made a fuss: "I watched the stars at night last night, and found that Cao Thief was afraid of his life soon."

"Ahh

Zhang Fei's words were so outrageous that Guan Yu couldn't continue.

Liu Bei walked into the courtyard angrily, stared at Zhang Fei and whispered, "What's the matter with you? What stars to watch at night? Will you?"

"Ahh

While Liu Bei reprimanded, a lazy yawn came from the main room.

The voice was obviously made by Wolong, and Liu Bei was like a robot receiving the message, standing motionless, completely forgetting that he was holding Zhang Fei accountable.

"Huh? The sky is already shining outside, what time is it? I hear the sound of voices in the courtyard, is there a guest visiting? ”

"It's past noon now, and Uncle Liu Huang has been waiting here for a long time."

"If you have a distinguished guest, why not report it early? See me in a change of clothes. ”

The main house and the side house are built next to each other, and there should be a door connecting inside.

After listening to the conversation between Zhuge Liang and the servant boy, Liu Bei hurriedly summoned Guan Yu to his eyes, and the three brothers arranged their robes with each other, preparing to meet the legendary Wolong.

After a while, the door of the central hall opened.

Zhuge Liang was dressed in white and stepped out of the threshold to look at the three heroes of Taoyuan.

The three brothers also looked at the scholars under their door, Zhuge Liang was eight feet long, his face was like a crown of jade, and his appearance alone was already the best among people.

Liu Bei was the first to react, bowed down and hugged his fists and saluted: "I have heard Mr. Jiu's name, I have admired him for a long time, I have not seen it in the first two visits, but I can see it now, it is really a pleasure to live." ”

"Nanyang savage, lazy, the general's imperial family, but he came to the thatched house to take a look, and Liang was ashamed to accept it" Zhuge Liang hurriedly returned the salute.

"The descendants of the Emperor of Weimo are not enough to worry about" Liu Bei got up again, and pointed to Guan and Zhang to introduce: "This is Guan Yu Guan Yunchang, Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide"

"The enemy of 10,000 people, Liang has long admired his prestige."

Zhuge Liang greeted everyone modestly, and then introduced the three brothers into the hall and sat down.

"The humble house is simple, there is no good food and wine, and the bright spring is used to entertain guests, please don't blame the generals." Zhuge Liang held a bamboo cup in his hand and greeted the three of them.

Liu Bei smiled and said: "The sweet spring is clear, refreshing after drinking, the environment here is quiet, often accompanied by birds and flowers, Mr. lives in seclusion here, and he is really happy and happy." ”

Zhuge Liang shook his head modestly: "The Yellow Turban is in chaos, the princes are conquering, there is really no place to be happy, and Liang lost his father when he was young, and he moved to Jingzhou without support, so he can only cultivate and hoe here for fun, and come to study and make friends, I don't want to listen to the general, so that you can laugh"

"Oh? It's such a coincidence. ”

Liu Bei looked surprised, and said in his heart that we actually have a common topic? So he hurriedly responded: "Bei Yi lost his father when he was young, and he relied on his mother for his life, and he was weaving mats and selling shoes in Zhuo County, and it was really like a world away. ”

Zhuge Liang bowed slightly: "The general is young and old, he must have suffered a lot, he has heard of the general's benevolence and virtue, and the two righteous brothers have the courage of ten thousand people, why has it not been done so far?" ”

"I'm ashamed." Liu Bei smiled bitterly: "We have the courage of a horseman, and there is no wise man and strategist on the side, so until now"

"Not necessarily, right?"

Zhuge Liang frowned and asked: "Listening to the conversation in the courtyard just now, it seems that there are people who can observe the stars and determine life and death, so I can't ask myself, how can I say that there are no wise strategists."
