was delayed by the letter sent by Bu Qi in a roundabout way, and Zhuge Jin's rest time that afternoon was naturally in vain.

Before he officially started to deal with the task of sending Lu Bu, he had to take some time to visit Buqi's relatives and give some gifts.

However, this little episode can be regarded as a wake-up call for Zhuge Jin. Let him realize that when the follow-up is empty, he must sort out the social relationship of the original owner of the flesh and plug the small details that should be plugged.

If it is inconvenient to plug the leak, it is also necessary to find a reasonable excuse.

Not to mention far away, just say that he will see his second brother again in the future, with Zhuge Liang's IQ, he will definitely find that the eldest brother has not seen him for a few years, and his talent has improved by leaps and bounds to the point that he is unrecognizable, he is not as easy to fool as his stepmother who does not understand foreign affairs.

Therefore, whether it is granted by God or suddenly enlightened, in short, you must think clearly first.

With this thought in mind, Zhuge Jin ran away from the two uncles and relatives in a carriage, but he didn't know the etiquette in his mind, and then sent money, food, and cloth to convey General Zhendong's attention to the corporals.

Soon, the sky was dark, and at about the beginning of Shen Shi, Zhuge Jin came to the last house according to the list on the letter.

Judging from the letters, there is no male owner in this family, only a widow and aunt in Buqi, who pulls her young children to live and rely on the help of the clan.

When Liu Bei asked Sun Gan to prepare gifts and arrange the itinerary, perhaps Sun Qian also considered that there were no scholars in this family, and the value was not great, so he conveniently lined up for the last visit - although this consideration is a bit utilitarian, but it is also human nature.

"I have to knock on the widow's door to give gifts, this is a trouble. Fortunately, I'm nominally buddies with Buqi, so I'll treat each other politely like my aunt. Zhuge Jin walked to the door, thought about it in his heart, and then asked people to call the door.

After a long time, a woman seemed to observe through the crack in the door first, and confirmed that Zhuge Jin did not look like a wicked person, so she alertly opened the door a crack, but the latch still did not take off. Just showed half of his face and replied: "Who is coming?" ”

Zhuge Jin knew that she was Buqi's aunt Xu, speaking of which, her husband was originally a minor official under Liu Xun, but he died two years ago, and it had nothing to do with the recent battle of Guangling.

Zhuge Jin directly handed the letter through the crack in the door, and there was no need for water words for follow-up nonsense, anyway, it was to clarify the meaning.

The other party finally confirmed that he was Buqi's classmate, and he was also reused by the new local envoy, which seemed to provide some convenience to the Bu family, so the widow hesitated to open the door.

Zhuge Jin didn't plan to talk too much nonsense with the other party, so he didn't enter the house, so he walked to the courtyard and instructed the attendants to carry the gifts prepared by Sun Qian to the steps at the door of the house.

At this moment, a petite figure suddenly flashed out of the inner room, hiding behind Xu Shi and probing his head a few times.

Zhuge Jin didn't want to look at the widow, so he didn't look in that direction, he just ignored the child and messed around.

But the figure seemed to recognize something, turned out from behind Xu's back, and walked closer and pointed at Zhuge Jin: "You are Brother Zhuge !" I saw you when I went to my cousin's house in the spring. ”

Xu Shi was taken aback, his face sank and he reprimanded: "The trainer must not be rude!" ”

Seeing that the other party was a little girl, Zhuge Jin hurriedly said that it was okay for the Xu family, and squatted down to play with her: "But I haven't seen you." ”

The step trainer tilted his head and said, "I went to my cousin's house to borrow rice that day, and my cousin wanted to meet guests, so I hid behind the curtain." I also heard from you that Yuan Shu Liu Bei is afraid that there will be a war sooner or later, and it is not easy to live in Guangling, so let my cousin go to Wu County to explore the way first - how is he doing now? ”

Zhuge Jin: "Brother Zishan should be doing well, but Wu County may not be more peaceful than Guangling in the future, you live well in Guangling, it must be better than running around." ”

The foot trainer was still a little unconvinced: "But you didn't say that that day, and you also said that the price of rice in Wujun is cheap, and few profiteers have raised their prices because of the war." ”

Zhuge Jin stood up, half facing the foot trainer, half facing Xu Shi to comfort: "This time, that time." In the future, I can live with peace of mind, and I don't have to worry about the famine and war in my hometown. In the future, people will come to visit every month, and if there is a shortage, just say it. ”

Xu has seen that Zhuge Jin is definitely the real power faction that Liu Bei reuses, and he only has orders for Weiwei, and he is glad that the orphans and widows have found a protective umbrella.

The step trainer is still young and doesn't understand the awe of officialdom, so he still wants to get to the bottom of it: "Brother Zhuge , why do you say this time and that time?" ”

Zhuge Jin turned his head: "At that time, I hadn't thought about whether to do something for the people of Guangling, but now I have thought about it." ”

If I don't make a move, I won't be able to do anything.

The step trainer was shocked, she still couldn't understand the details, but her intuition told her that Brother Zhuge was not bragging.

Originally, behind the curtain of my cousin's house, I eavesdropped on the chatter of my cousin's classmates and friends, and I felt that Brother Zhuge was a person known for his "humility and self-denial". Then when he says these words now, he should still be "humble and self-denying......

Long after Zhuge Jin left, Xu and the mother and daughter of the foot trainer took out a few small buckets and scooped the heavy gifts into the house and kitchen little by little.

Looking at the baskets of copper coins and high-grade silk, as well as the ten-pound super sea bass in the water urn, the step trainer was really curious about what big brother Zhuge had done for the envoy, so that the envoy suddenly attached so much importance to the relatives of the Zhuge family's friends.

……

Zhuge Jin didn't care what a modest image he left in the heart of a little girl.

As for the foot trainer, because of the butterfly effect, he stayed in his hometown in Guangling from now on and no longer wandered, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Anyway, Zhuge Jin doesn't even know Sun Quan in this life, and there is no problem of being sorry for his friends at all.

After dealing with the extra troubles brought to him by the Bu family, Zhuge Jin went back that day, and finally sorted out the training materials for his second brother Zhuge Liang, and then ordered Tang Guang to take the fleet to Yuzhang and Xiangyang to inquire about the news and deliver the letter to his family early the next morning.

After doing all this, Zhuge Jin officially went to the palace to meet Liu Bei, and finally confirmed with the other party the details of the envoy Lu Bu and the imperial court.

Of course, Zhuge Jin would not let Liu Bei betray any righteousness, so the seal he asked for to the imperial court, Liu Bei asked people to write it accordingly. As for the other necessary gold and silver gifts, assistants, and guards, there is no need to go into details.

Zhuge Jin only confirmed one major event with Liu Bei in the end, that is, once he reconciles with Lu Bu and redeems Liu Beijun's family, what kind of external environment will Liu Beijun face in the future.

This issue is very important, and Zhuge Jin must first make it clear to Liu Bei.

If Liu Bei can't accept such an external relationship between himself and foe, then he can't do this.

"General, there is a word that must be said in front. After reconciling with Lu Bu this time, Yuan Shu will inevitably regard us as a great enemy even more, and he may not be able to fight us this year, but he will definitely make a comeback next year.

And on Lu Bu's side, I can stabilize them for the time being, but this kind of stability is also based on the premise of 'Yuan Shu is strong, and we and Lu Bu are weak', Lu Bu is capricious, once there is a new change in the strength comparison between us and Yuan Shu in the future, it is entirely possible for Lu Bu to tear up and reconcile again, which is not something that can be solved by verbal lobbying.

As for Sun Ce in the south, they are currently nominally enemies of our army, but in fact they are separated by the Yangtze River, and Sun Ce also has other soft persimmons to pinch, and he will not be distracted to deal with us for the time being before defeating Wang Lang.

Surrounded by such a strong enemy, it is impossible for our army to take the initiative to break the situation, and it is the limit to be able to hold on and wait for changes. Otherwise, his setbacks may be better than when Pi is lost, only the general thinks about it. ”

Liu Bei had actually talked to Zhuge Jin on this issue a few times before, so today's new content would not surprise him too much.

Liu Bei just calmed down and asked: "Ziyu, you have always said that in addition to helping Uncle Ling recapture Yuzhang County, the rest of us can't be more aggressive, and we must 'stick to the change', so what is this 'change', can you roughly think of it?" ”

Zhuge Jin didn't want to say too much, but seeing Liu Bei's hesitation, he decided to calm the other party's heart a little: "Although I don't dare to fully guarantee it, I think that this 'change' that can make my army break the situation is that Yuan Shu is arrogant, so that he has completely become the enemy of the dynasty and punished the world - for example, to be the emperor." ”

PS: In the new week, ask for collections, ask for tickets, and ask for a wave of 1 yuan for new fans to reward (book friends who have been rewarded last week are already live fans, and there are fans worth, so there is no need to break the bank, and the number of fans will not be increased.) Here is just a request for book friends who still have 0 fan value to raise their noble hands.

It's not for these few dollars, it's mainly to fill in the list of 500 live fans on the web side, and increase the display rate of the fan list. ）
