Liu Bei twisted his beard and pondered for a while, and suddenly laughed.

"It's a gift from God that I can get a virtuous son-in-law like Hongfei, my good son-in-law, what else do you want? As long as you are a Father, you will be satisfied. ”

Zhao Yi looked into Liu Bei's eyes, who were smiling and motionless.

"Father, Hongfei still has only one wish."

Liu Bei's eyelids moved slightly, and his smile became stronger.

"Oh? What is the desire, let the Father hear. ”

"Hongfei's wish is to let his father inherit the unification and dominate the troubled times! Hongfei took a back seat under the protection of his father, as long as he had food and drink, accompanied by his wife and children, he came to visit the mountains and rivers, walked the birds and teased the dogs, and felt that it was a great blessing. ”

When Liu Bei heard this, his brows suddenly relaxed, and he said with a thoughtful smile on his face: "Hongfei, you are still young, and you are an immortal disciple, both civil and military, how can you say that you have taken a back seat so early?" Father still expects you to charge into battle for the benefit of the people, and today's words are only for my father and son, and I must not mention them in front of others, such words are too rebellious. ”

Zhao Yi knew in his heart, patted the back of Liu Bei's hand and said: "Father, don't worry, Hongfei knows, that is, he will not hide it in front of you, then I will go to pick up Wanyi and return to Xiangyang." ”

"Okay, Hongfei and go, after I discuss the details with the military advisor, I will send a fast horse to send a letter to you, the details of the road."

"Father, take care, Hongfei will leave first."

Seeing Zhao Yi's figure disappear outside the door, the soldiers guarding the door closed the door again, and after a while, in the back room of the room where the two were talking just now, Zhuge Liang walked out of the screen and sat next to Liu Bei with a goose feather fan.

"Strategist, you see what my good son-in-law wanted just now, but he changed his words temporarily."

Zhuge Liang secretly glanced at Liu Bei, knowing that his lord was not just a good man as he looked, but in fact, he knew many things better than anyone else in his heart, such as the reward that Zhao Yi originally wanted.

Zhuge Liang hesitated for a moment, but still spoke: "Lord, in fact, Hongfei's words Liang believes at least eight points, in such a long time of contact with him, Liang can feel that this person is not ambitious, but not ambitious, not to mention that he is now the son-in-law of the lord, and has the name of an immortal disciple, especially the contribution of the two types of crops such as potatoes and sweet potatoes, and after the harvest in the coming year, the people and soldiers under the lord's rule will no longer have to worry about food." ”

The expression on Liu Bei's face did not change, his fingers tapped on the table, and after a while, he said, "Military Master, aren't you curious, who is the child in the belly of my concubine of the Sun family?" ”

"This ......"

Zhuge Liang, who was almost as wise as a demon, didn't expect Liu Bei to ask so directly, and he didn't know how to answer at the moment.

Liu Bei sighed lightly, still with a smile on his face.

"Strategist, you know what? In fact, I'm quite afraid of that Sun, she dances and plays with guns and sticks all day long, has a perverse personality, has a good boudoir and has a sword, and is always accompanied by a group of female soldiers, every time I sleep with her, I am scared, for fear that this person is the killer sent to me by Sun Quan, so I can't go to her boudoir, let alone let her conceive a child...... I heard that Hongfei had a close relationship with the Sun family during his time in Jiangdong, does the military advisor know about this? ”

Zhuge Liang didn't hide it, nodded and said: "There is indeed this matter, I don't know how the lord wants to deal with it?" ”

Zhuge Liang knew that it was inconvenient for him to give too many opinions on Liu Bei's personal affairs, and as for how the lord was going to deal with this matter, he didn't know how to deal with it.

"Oh, military advisor, humanity is ugly and can't be publicized, but I really have no choice, once this matter leaks out, even if I don't cure Hongfei's crime, he will inevitably feel suspicious, today Wei Yan caught a secret envoy sent by Cao Cao, he brought a secret letter, which was written to Hongfei, Cao Cao wanted to plot against my son-in-law."

Liu Bei said and took out a letter from his cuff and pressed it on the table, Zhuge Liang hurriedly opened it, took a quick look, and couldn't help but gasp.

"This Cao Cao, he underestimates Hongfei too much, Hongfei is young and old, he can be impressed by gold and silver and high-ranking officials?"

Zhuge Liang's eyes rolled, as if he had made up his mind, and said: "Lord, Liang said a big disrespectful word, has the lord ever heard the story of 'extinguishing the candle and breaking the thread' during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period?" ”

Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang meaningfully and nodded: "Of course I heard it, it was when the king of Chuzhuang invited a hundred officials, a gust of wind blew out the candles, and as a result, a minister took advantage of the darkness to tease his concubine, but the concubine broke the tassel on the head of the person who was molesting, and complained to the king of Chuzhuang, who knew that the king of Chuzhuang asked all the courtiers to tear off the tassels on their hats and never mention this matter."

And a few years later, the general who took the opportunity to flirt with the concubine made great achievements, and when the king of Chuzhuang rewarded his merits, he did not want to reward, and also confessed the rudeness at the banquet that year, who knew that the king of Chuzhuang not only did not blame, but also rewarded the favorite concubine to this general, this matter was once a good story, and the military advisor meant to let me follow the example of King Chuzhuang and give Sun to Hongfei? ”

Zhuge Liang hurriedly bowed his head and said: "Liang didn't dare to easily evaluate the lord's family affairs, but he suddenly remembered this story, and also remembered something, it is said that Li Ru, the strategist next to Dong Zhuo, also told him this allusion, and persuaded Dong Zhuo to give Diao Chan to Lu Bu, but Dong Zhuo did not allow it, and the two fathers and sons became enemies because of a woman, and the final result is obvious to all, of course, the lord is not Dong Zhuo, Hongfei is not Lu Bu, Liang just suddenly remembered, there is no other meaning. ”

Zhuge Liang hurriedly cleared himself up, didn't he talk too much about this matter, but Liu Bei didn't say it when he asked, after all, he was quite optimistic about Zhao Yi, such a fairy figure, if it was because of a woman who turned against Liu Bei, once he really went to Cao Cao, it would be a devastating blow to them.

Liu Bei was silent, and only said after a while: "Trouble the military division, you and I have never discussed what happened just now when I came out of this house today, but it is the three strategies that Hongfei said, and I have to worry about the military division to carefully consider and check and fill in the gaps." ”

"Yes, my lord, Liang stepped back first."

Zhuge Liang bowed and retreated, and Liu Bei sat alone in the room, his eyes looking ahead but not focusing, as if he was wondering how to deal with this matter in his heart.

said that Zhao Yi picked up his wife Liu Wanyi, packed some clothes, and was about to return to Xiangyang, but saw a herald galloping in front of him, turning over and dismounting.

"General Zhonglang, the lord has an order, so you will go to Jiangdong Chaisang immediately, the ferry boat is ready!"

"To Chaisang? What is the important thing that the lord can say? ”

"It is said that Zhou Yu, the governor of Jiangdong, died of illness, and Lu Su took his place as the new governor, and the lord wanted Zhonglang to attend Zhou Yu's funeral instead of him."

"What? Zhou Yu: Is he dead? Good...... I know, report back to the lord, Hongfei immediately set off for Jiangdong. ”

Although Zhao Yi knew that Zhou Yu's life was short, he didn't expect to die so soon, he glanced at his wife apologetically, and said comfortingly: "Wanyi, I can't accompany you to Xiangyang, someone will escort you to our new home, I have to go to Jiangdong, and return to Xiangyang immediately after I am done." ”

"Hongfei, you have to be careful, you don't have to worry about my side, go get down to business."

Liu Wanyi was as caring as ever, Zhao Yi touched her head apologetically, then turned over and got on the horse, and said to Lu Lingqi not far away: "Let's go, call Ma Liu, we will go to Jiangdong immediately, and don't miss the time when you travel lightly." ”

"Yes, General Zhonglang."
