Jiangxia, Anlu City, Zhuge Ke's mansion.

Noon is approaching, and the table above the main hall is filled with countless delicious delicacies.

The first course, boiled venison, is cooked with fat from the belly of the fawn, then cooked with bamboo shoots and cattails;

The second course is stewed dog meat. Boil the fat dog meat in soup, and finally spread the stone ear cabbage and you're done;

The third course, animal loins. Slice the tenderloin and grill it.

In addition to these, there are also a variety of appetizers such as grilled tenderloin, blanched carp fillet, and chicken with peony sauce.

Coupled with a pot of Zhuge Ke's favorite fresh and elegant orchid wine, as well as that, perilla with pickled vegetables, made of appetizers, it is inevitable to make people's appetite!

These are all banquets prepared by Zhuge Ke to welcome his best friend Zhuo Shu.

The agreement made a year ago, the eighth day of December of this year, which is today... Even if Zhuge Ke is in the sea of swords and fire, or on the top of the sky, or thousands of miles away, Zhuo Shu will definitely come to the banquet, this is the "gentleman's alliance" of two people who keep their promises!

It's just that seeing that noon is coming, the banquet is all set, but the guest of Zhuge Changshi has not arrived for a long time, and for a while, the scribes who also went to the banquet couldn't help but whisper.

"You say, can we wait for this best friend?"

"Can't it, I heard that Zhuo Shu lives in Jiangdong, hundreds of miles away, and he has to pass through a war-torn place like Huainan? If I were him, I would never come..."

"Yes, it's a pity that our long history has bothered so much..."

"Shhh

Despite these whispers... The tone was extremely low, but Zhuge Ke's ears were sharp, and he heard some, but he always showed calm and leisure, sat on the main seat, and continued to wait for his best friend.

Liao Hua also came to the banquet...

It's just that his mind was not on this banquet at all, and when he raised his head to look at the sky, Liao Hua couldn't help but walk to Zhuge Ke's side, sat down, and said softly: "Holding such a grand banquet, when this time of rumors, do you still have this mood?" ”

Liao Hua's implication is naturally Guan Yu.

Also...

Guan Yu has been hit by a poisoned arrow, looking everywhere for someone who can "scrape bones to cure poison", but here Zhuge Ke is still feasting guests, and even, still waiting for a close friend who seems to never come, this matter... In Liao Hua's opinion, it is already a little weird.

Who would have thought, Zhuge Ke shook his hand, he showed a different kind of ease, "This is what I promised my best friend, it is the dishes in this banquet, he set it a year ago, Guan Gong's affairs are handled by Yunqi Gongzi, Yunqi Gongzi did not let us go to Jiangling, then our task is to keep this Jiangxia and do our duty... For the rest, you and I shouldn't have bothered to do so! ”

Duty... Hehe...

Liao Hua laughed faintly, he really wanted to be as free and easy as Zhuge Ke, but he couldn't do it, he was Guan Yu's master before, and this relationship was similar to that between the prince of Yunqi and his Zhuge Yuanxun.

Say don't worry, that's fake!

can look at Zhuge Ke's calm expression.

Liao Hua could only sigh "sigh", sighed a long breath, and followed Zhuge Ke's words: "You said duty, then I heard that the prince of Yunqi sent a batch of ordnance to our side... Is there such a thing? ”

This matter, even Liao Hua, who is in charge of the soldiers, has only heard about it...

And in the barracks, the news about this spread like a god, and it looked like ... Liao Hua didn't know whether it was true or not, so he took the opportunity of this banquet to ask Zhuge Ke for verification.

"Shhh ”

As soon as these words came out, Liao Hua hurriedly shut up, he was both surprised and happy to realize that the ordnance sent by this batch of Yunqi Gongzi may have a lot of articles, or it may cause Cao Jun to suffer heavy losses.

Thinking of this, Liao Hua hurriedly changed the topic: "It's time to see that it's time this afternoon, but your friend... It's a pity that such a good banquet is cold, why don't we eat it first? ”

"No!" Zhuge Ke said in a resolute tone, "Noon has not yet arrived, and the guests are not coming, how can the host move the chopsticks first?" ”

This...

Suddenly, Liao Hua couldn't understand Zhuge Ke more and more, and he couldn't help but pour cold water again, "How far away is Huiji and Jiangxia?" How could anyone come on time? ”

Liao Hua's words were blurted out.

Suddenly, I heard - "Vote for me with papaya, and repay it with Qiongju." Bandit retribution, always think it is good! Vote for me with a peach, repay it with Qiong Yao, repay the bandits, and always think it is good!"

Accompanied by the crisp and loud sound of poetry.

A handsome son stepped in from the main entrance of Zhuge Ke's mansion.

Because Zhuge Ke had explained in advance, so... The door is open.

Under the sun, I could only hear this handsome boy shouting:

"Haha... Zhuge Yuanxun, the wine and meat in your banquet, as early as the street, I smelled the fragrance, let me guess, boiled venison, stewed dog meat, animal loin, roasted loin, scalded carp fillet, peony sauce mixed with chicken... And you, my best sip of orchid wine and perilla pickles, haha... Before I entered the door, I was already looking for incense with my index finger and came in search of incense——"

As soon as these words came out, Liao Hua raised his head, the guests looked up, and Zhuge Ke suddenly got up, "I know that it is thousands of miles away, and Brother Zhuo Shu will definitely come thousands of miles away!" ”

The person who came was Zhuo Shu.

——Zhuo Shu who traveled thousands of miles.

For a while, the house was full of silence!

Even Liao Hua was shocked in place, there are really such trustworthy people in order to go to the appointment... Yes... Can you come from thousands of miles away?

That's incredible, isn't it?

In fact... More incredible is yet to come.

Not only did Zhuo Shu come alone, he also brought a miracle doctor who could "scrape bones and cure poison", a general with the most national style in Eastern Wu!

It's a different kind of situation - get two for one!

…

Here, Zhuo Shu traveled thousands of miles to meet his best friend Zhuge Ke, and this act of "keeping promises" is destined to be passed on by the world as a good story and spread for thousands of years.

Over there, when Zhuo Rong tore off the announcement of "scraping bones to cure poison".

A cadre of officers and soldiers quickly surrounded her, and out of protection for Zhuo Rong, Ling Tong stepped forward, stopped her behind him, and used his body full of sores to protect Zhuo Rong!

Zhuo Rong suddenly felt a very inexplicable and wonderful feeling...

It seems that the man who protects him in front of him is not hanging by a thread, but every body is powerful and full of manliness.

At this time, the leader of this room, Lu Lu, quickly stepped forward, he looked at Zhuo Rong in surprise, and looked at the letter she tore off, especially the notice in her hand...

Hurriedly asked. "The girl can really scrape the bones to cure the poison?"

When he said this, Elk Lu was inevitably a little worried and disappointed... The woman in front of her is too young, at such an age, no matter what, it seems difficult to say that she is associated with such a miraculous apricot forest technique as "scraping bones and curing poison".

Zhuo Rong didn't answer, just nodded.

At this moment, Elklu's tone became extremely respectful, "The girl is young, I don't know... Who is the teacher? ”

As soon as this sentence came out, Zhuo Rong showed her proud side: "Since I dare to accept the notice, I am not fooling you, I said that I can scrape the bones to cure the poison, I can scrape the bones to cure the poison, if you don't believe it, then this notice will return to you, I won't scrape it..."

This...

With Zhuo Rong's words, Lu Lu immediately didn't dare to ask, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to signal.

"Girl, this way, please..."

Yes, where can he call the shots for such a big matter.

Yunqi Gongzi is not here, so... You must ask Zhuge Changshi and Liao Hua Lieutenant here.

A cadre of officers and soldiers cautiously escorted Zhuo Rong and Ling Tong among them and went to Zhuge Ke's Changshi Mansion.

The crowd also started talking...

"This woman is so young? Will it work? ”

"If she can scrape her bones to cure poison? I cut off one of my arms..."

"There are many bluffers in the world, but... It's rare to see a woman at such a young age..."

It seems that many of the people don't believe that Zhuo Rong can "scrape bones and cure poison" and save Guan Yu.

But in the crowd of discussions, a graceful and elegant middle-aged man's face changed greatly, and he couldn't help but exclaim:

"Ling... Ling Gongji? ”

When he blurted out these words, he quickly covered his mouth and looked left and right to make sure that no one was paying attention, and then carefully squeezed out of the crowd.

Catching up with the officers and soldiers, he looked at it carefully twice, very secretly... Make sure not to be spotted by the look.

What he paid special attention to was Ling Tong...

Still sure... He didn't know the woman, but the man... Be... It's Ling Tongling's public achievement!

"Ling... General Ling... Didn't he disappear in the battle of Feishui Caoying, when he fought the enemy general Zhang Liao in that fire? How... How did he end up here? ”

The elegant middle-aged man who said these words softly was Zhuge Jin.

After Luo Tong returned, Zhuge Jin was also considered to have completed his mission, and he was recalled by Sun Quan to Jiangdong to support Hefei City.

It just so happened that passing through Jiangxia...

Thinking about the "nephew" Zhuge Ke doing a long history here, I haven't seen it for a long time, and I miss it very much, so I quietly made a detour to Anlu City in Jiangxia County.

I never thought that the "nephew" Zhuge Ke had not met yet, but he met "Ling Tong" first!

Zhuge Jin watched Zhuo Rong and Ling Tong walk into the mansion of his "nephew" Zhuge Ke, which made him, who had planned to go to see his "nephew", stop for a while.

"How so?"

Zhuge Jin muttered to himself.

- "Yuan Xun came to Jingzhou because he succeeded, Bo Yan was forced to come to Jingzhou because he had no choice but to come, and Zijing came to Jingzhou because of his injuries, but now... Even Gongji has come to Jingzhou?"

- "He... And why did he come here? Will he go back?'

For a moment, Zhuge Jin was at a loss, as if he had received a huge blow.

The lord knows very well what the public performance is...

"Since the succession of the lord to the throne, he has not been thin on the young Ling Tong... So he... Why is he here? ”

This voice was extremely light and thin, so thin that only he, Zhuge Jin, could hear it clearly.

He knows better...

In the first battle of Shouchun, Gan Ning and Ling Tong burned the Cao army's Feishui camp with a "burning canister", which severely damaged the Cao army, reversed the decline of the Huainan battlefield, and made Wu Hou finally stand up.

But after this battle, the Cao army lost Zhang Wenyuan, and the Eastern Wu army lost Ling Gongji!

This is an unacceptable loss for both parties.

And what made Zhuge Jin and even Dongwu even more unacceptable was that Ling Tong was not a loss, but... Instead, it appeared in Jingzhou, which... This pair is a slap in the face with Soochow!

Call...

Call...

The sound of heavy exhalation came from Zhuge Jin's heart, his face was extremely ugly, and he stared heavily at his eyebrows.

At this moment, how much he wanted to rush in, he asked the former "son", what is the reason for all this? Why is Ling Tong here?

Why did Ling Tong and a woman scrape Guan Yu's bones together to cure the poison?

But he knew he shouldn't have rushed in...

He and his former son have become their own masters, and he should not use this relationship to obtain any information, this is not like a messenger, let alone a father!

Can...

"No..."

Finally, Zhuge Jin still couldn't pass the level in his heart, he gritted his teeth heavily, and after hesitating for a moment, he quickly turned around and walked in the direction of the dock outside the city.

Ling Tong did not die;

Ling Tong in Jiangxia;

Ling Tong wants to scrape Guan Yu's bones to cure poison...

This matter is too big, he must rush to Hefei as soon as possible, report the news to Wu Hou, and let him... Let him be prepared!

"Hey... Eh..."

Zhuge Jin sighed heavily as he walked, his mood seemed to change from the expectation of seeing "former son" to dark clouds in an instant...

But at this moment, the noonday sun was poisonous, and his shadow was stretched long and narrow—

At noon, it was the time for Zhuge Kexin to hold a banquet!

…

…

Shouchun City, outside the government office, stands a wooden stake, on which is hung with three feet of white cloth, and the words "loyalty", "righteousness" and "filial piety" are written in big books.

Sima Yi, who was released from Jiangling City, was being escorted by the soldiers of the Cao army.

Cao Cao was not here, and Cao Zhen, as his adopted son, became the only representative of the Cao clan in Shouchun City.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is this young general of the Cao clan who is now in control of the life and death of everyone here, especially the "sinners".

"Sima Zhongda..."

When Sima Yi was escorted to this stake, Cao Zhen glared at Sima Yi angrily, and he pointed at Sima Yi's nose and scolded: "Sima Zhongda, if it weren't for you, then why did Lu Xun suddenly arrive on the battlefield of Jiangxia and leave our army defenseless and suddenly attacked by him?" Why did Jiangxia fail miserably? Why did my Great Wei kill 100,000 soldiers overnight? Sima Zhongda, your sins are heinous and cannot be forgiven, General Ben asked you, are you guilty? ”

"Ridiculous... It's ridiculous..."Sima Yi smiled: "I'm just a subordinate official of the prime minister, and persuading Lu Xun to surrender is also on the order of the prime minister, how do you know that Lu Xun is bluffing me?" When General Cao asked me so much, did he question my persuasion to surrender, or did he question the prime minister's decision-making? What's more, the reason why the 100,000 army died overnight was because the fire that suddenly struck, ignited instantly, and could not be extinguished was the sudden betrayal of the Nanyang soldiers, what does this have to do with me Sima Yi? ”

"What?"

Cao Zhen pointed to the wooden stake behind him, "You can see the words on it, loyalty, righteousness, filial piety... You helped Lu Xun to attack the forbidden general for thousands of miles, resulting in the rout of the Jiangxia battlefield, which profoundly affected the Xiangfan battlefield and the Huainan battlefield, which is disloyal, you buried 100,000 soldiers of the Great Wei Dynasty, and the soul of Taotao has nowhere to go, all thanks to your Sima Yi, this is regarded as unrighteousness, you ignore the old and young of the family, betray Cao Wei, surrender to Jingzhou, regarded as unfilial, such a disloyal, unfilial and unrighteous person, when the head of the public to set an example! ”

In the face of Cao Zhen's unwarranted accusations...

"Haha..."Sima Yi smiled lightly: "General Cao, you and I have always had political disagreements, you hate me to the bone, if I am really as you say, there is no need to be disloyal, unfilial, unjust... I'm afraid you've already chopped off my head and placed it on this stake, right? ”

In the face of Cao Zhen's aggressiveness, Sima Yi calmly met his gaze, not afraid at all, "If you don't do it now, I'm afraid you don't have the right to dispose of me, right?" The merits are judged by Prime Minister Cao Cheng? That being the case... Why did General Cao bother with a retrial? I, Sima Yi, believe in the justice of the prime minister! I also believe that General Cao will not disobey the justice of the prime minister. ”

"Hmph..."

In the face of Sima Yi's quibble, Cao Zhen snorted coldly, as if Sima Yi's words completely told his whereabouts.

Truly...

Cao Cao specially sent a fast horse to inform Cao Zhen that Sima Yi should not be killed or tortured first, and he Cao Cao would personally try him.

Immediately, Cao Zhen sighed with great regret, and he looked at Sima Yi contemptuously, as if looking at the fish on a board: "You think you can escape?" You were just put back by that Guan Lin swaggeringly? You think the prime minister will let you go! ”

"Whether the prime minister lets me go or not is the prime minister's business, so I don't bother General Cao..."

Sima Yi met Cao Zhen's gaze...

In fact, he also has nervousness, fear, and hesitation in his heart, but he has reached this point, and he has no way out.

Because of the poison, he is also dead, and only by finding a way to mediate in it can he save his life!

"Hold on—"

Cao Zhen lost the last patience, indeed, he Cao Zhen had no way to deal with Sima Yi.

Not to mention that Sima Yi is Cao Cao's personal military commander, just because of his family background in the Sima clan in Hanoi, Cao Zhen can't get up and down with a knife and cut off this man's head.

Speaking of which, Cao Zhen and Sima Yi belong to the same camp, and they are both Cao Pi's faction...

But Cao Zhen just can't look down on Sima Yi, nor can he look down on Chen Qun, Liu Zhen, and Wu Zhen.

Always be on guard against them.

Maybe... This is the bend between the clan and the children of the clan that can never be crossed, and it is also destined that the clan and the clan will definitely live and die!

"Where's my wife? I want to see him..."

A soldier came to take Sima Yi into the cell, and Sima Yi asked Cao Zhen loudly.

"Hmph." Cao Zhen snorted coldly, "You better take care of yourself first!" ”

As he spoke, Sima Yi was taken down, he didn't resist, and he didn't say even a single cruel word, but his firm eyes were full of confidence, as if he could be sure that he could retreat this time!

This kind of look made Cao Zhen more disgusted the more he looked at it.

"Bang", as Sima Yi was pressed down, Cao Zhen slammed his fist on the table, and the tea in the tea cup on the entire desk splashed out.

At this moment, a personal guard quickly broke in and hurriedly said, "General Cao... Outside the city gate, General Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan are back! ”

Yes...

As soon as these words came out, Cao Zhen, who was still resentful because of Sima Yi, suddenly rose up.

He asked in surprise, "Wen... General Wenyuan is back? ”

When he said this, his eyes were full of surprise, as if Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan's status in Cao Wei, even if he was a leader among the descendants of the clan like Cao Zhen, he was an existence that had to be looked up to...

"Yes! General Wen Yuan has just entered the city..."

"Quick, lead the way ahead, I'm going to meet the general of the Great Wei Zhengdong!" Cao Zhen blurted out this, and the guards hurriedly turned around and planned to lead the way, but Cao Zhen had just taken a step, and he figured out that something was wrong.

"Wait..."

He hurriedly shouted to stop, and then asked, "Why did General Wen Yuan come back now?" What happened after the Fat Water Camp was burned that day? Why did he disappear? Why did it take so long to come back? These... Did he make it clear? ”

Fang Cai is still General Wenyuan, General Zhengdong...

Suddenly, because of a touch of vague suspicion, Cao Zhen's address to him was directly changed to "he"!

"That's not right..."

Cao Zhen "chirped" his mouth again, his eyes were heavily condensed, and he repeated again, "No, there is a problem, there is a problem, there is a weird!" ”

Thinking of this, Cao Zhen seemed to have made up his mind, he waved his hand, and hurriedly ordered the guards beside him: "Check, you go to check, check upside down, how did he come back?" Who did you see in the middle? Who have you come into contact with? Before the Prime Minister returns, I want you to find out—"

…
