Chapter 123

Liu Jing talked happily with Pan Jun and Wang Can, and they stayed until the afternoon before leaving.

Then Liu Jing opened the door to welcome guests again, and there was hardly a moment of leisure throughout the afternoon.As expected, several playmates from the predecessor in Xiangyang in the past came to the door. Unfortunately, not to mention the historical celebrities of the Three Kingdoms, there is not even a single person who stands out. This is also normal. Friends, they were at their level in the previous life. To be honest, he was able to make friends with Pan Jun, which surprised Liu Jing. The two are completely different.

Perhaps Liu Jing came to Xiangyang and saw too many famous people in the history of the Three Kingdoms, so there was some deviation in his vision. In fact, these former playmates were not mediocre people. At least they were from good backgrounds, most of them were literate, and their swordsmanship was also good. Both are perfect, but they can barely be regarded as talents.

Liu Jing received them warmly, but the person who had the closest relationship with him in his memory did not come, so he couldn't help asking, "Why don't you see me, brother?"

This person's name is Yu Zheng, style name Zixiang, native of Xiangyang, Shaoren Xia, famous for his swordsmanship, he is the only one among them who can do it well.

Several people looked at each other after hearing this, and one of them said: "Zixiang had a conflict with the sons of the Cai family in Xiangyang a month ago. He stabbed the other party in a rage, and then it is said that he fled to the south. We are still guessing whether he will I went to join you."

Liu Jing nodded thoughtfully. Yu Zheng probably didn't have any friends in Jingnan, so he might have defected to him. After all, his deeds were widely spread in Xiangyang.Yu Zheng is a fugitive, there must be many obstacles on the way to the south, and he is probably still on the way now.

If you want to ask who is the first family in Xiangyang, there must be different opinions and endless debates, but if you want to ask who is the most powerful family in Xiangyang, the result is very obvious. There is only one, the Cai family in Xiangyang.

Liu Biao came to Xiangyang alone, thanks to the efforts of Cai Mao and Kuai Yue, he was able to pacify Jingzhou. Cai Mao had made great achievements, and Liu Biao took his daughter as his successor.

This matter involved the Cai family, Liu Jing didn't want to talk about it, so he changed the topic immediately.

In the evening, Liu Jing stayed with several people for dinner and gave him a treasure from the South China Sea as a gift before leaving. Everyone praised him for not forgetting the old friendship, and Liu Jing laughed it off.

Because he chatted with Zhuge Liang until late last night, Liu Jing went to bed early tonight, and early the next morning, he drove to Zhuge Liang's residence to visit his uncle Zhuge Xuan.The one who led the way was Liu Zhu, the only one who had ever been to Zhuge Liang's house.

Now Zhuge's family lives in the southeast of Xiangyang, at the foot of Xianshan Mountain, beside the Hanshui River. The small house covers an area of ​​several acres, with six huts inside and outside, and vegetables and fruits are planted in front and back.

When Zhuge Liang saw his carriage, he immediately took his younger brother Zhuge Jun out to welcome him. Liu Jing greeted them both after getting off the carriage. many.

Liu Jing followed Zhuge Brothers into the house to meet Zhuge Xuan. When he saw Zhuge Xuan for the first time in Changsha, although he had a sick face, he could not conceal his outstanding appearance. He was a tall, handsome man with a beautiful beard, but now However, he was severely tormented by a serious illness, sluggish on the bed, his face was pale, and his appearance was haggard.

"Zhongda is here..." Zhuge Xuan lay on the bed, and said slowly: "When I was in Changsha last year, Kong Ming repeatedly advised me to take good care of my body first, and then leave before it was too late. It is said that it was your suggestion. But I I think I am in good health, but I don’t take it seriously, but now I am seriously ill and my death is approaching, so it’s too late to regret.” Zhuge Xuan was already terminally ill, and it was extremely difficult to speak a sentence intermittently.

Liu Jing felt sorry for him. Such a strong man, in his prime, had changed into this appearance in just over a year.

In this era, any serious disease is incurable, from the emperor to the common people, there is no difference in front of the serious illness.

Since time travel, Liu Jing has not worried about other things. The only thing he is worried about is his own body. This cannot be changed by manpower. Looking at the three generations of his Liu family, no one has lived past the age of 40. How could he not feel that concern.

Liu Jing sighed softly, and comforted Zhuge Xuan: "Mr. Zhuge, why is he so pessimistic? Zhao Gong, the imperial servant Zhao (Qi) Binqing who is currently in Xiangyang, was said to be seriously ill when he was in his 30s and was bedridden for a long time. For seven years, he thought he was going to die, so he said to his elder brother in the last words: "A man lives in seclusion without the integrity of a Jizi, an official without the merits of Yi Yin and Lu Wang, and the sky is not with me, so what can I say!" I have already thought about my epitaph, but in the end he recovered miraculously. Now that I am nearly ninety years old, my body is still very healthy."

Zhuge Xuan forced the corners of his mouth to twitch, and said with a wry smile: "Zhong Da has chosen the wrong person, Mr. Zhao, there is only one person in the world, I dare not expect to be like Mr. Zhao."

Liu Jingdao: "Mr. Zhuge encourages himself by Zhao Gong, it's not impossible."

Zhuge Xuan sighed but was speechless.

Zhuge Xuan was seriously ill after all, so Liu Jing didn't want to disturb him, so he got up to leave after sitting for a while.

Next, he will go to the mansion of his teacher Song Zhong to have a banquet, and when he learns that Zhuge Liang is fine for a while, he pulls him along.

Song Zhongnai is a great Confucian who has studied ancient and modern times and is well-known all over the world. His family has no casual contacts, and there are great Confucianists talking and laughing. Today's banquet is bound to be full of guests, famous scholars from the north and south, gathered together.

Zhuge Liang was very moved in his heart, his uncle Zhuge Xuan could enter this circle, he was far behind.Liu Jing treated him very kindly. When he was in Changsha, he introduced Du Xi, Huan Yi, Liu Yu and others to him. Now that he came to Xiangyang, he still did not forget to think about him. Liu Jing did this?

Liu Jing didn't know what Zhuge Liang was thinking, so he kept talking to him on the road.

In name today, Song Zhong hosted a banquet for good friends, but in fact it was specially set up for Liu Jing. He is the protagonist of today, so as soon as he entered the door, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The first person to come was Pan Jun. As Song Zhong's disciple and Liu Jing's senior brother, he definitely couldn't miss today's occasion.

Liu Jing introduced the two of them: "Brother, this is Zhuge Kongming of Langya, my bosom friend. Kongming, this is the Wuling Pan Chengming I mentioned to you, I treat him as a brother."

Zhuge Liang bowed to the assassin and said: "My lord, Zhuge Liang, has met Mr. Pan."

Pan Jun nodded and said, "You don't have to be polite."

Liu Jing saw a lot of vehicles parked outside the gate of the Song Mansion, and asked, "Brother, who are the guests today?"

"In the north alone, there are Jingzhao Zhao (Qi) Binqing Zhaogong, Andingliang (Hu) Menghuang, Shanyang King (Can) Zhongxuan, Yingchuan Handan (Chun) Zishu, Zhao (Yan) Boran , Fan (Qin) Huber..."
