Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 295 Five Ghosts (4100)

"It's not just serious? I'm afraid it will become a black spot for the talented brother's life!"

Zhuge Liang said seriously.

"Then do you know where Pang Tong's family lives?"

Wu Liang still asked.

"I know, but I know. Brother Youcai is sure you want to meet this person?"

Zhuge Liang wrinkled his slightly childish face, but seeing that Wu Liang didn't seem to change his mind, he finally said, "I can lead the way for the talented brother, but I don't bother to see such a birdman. Brother Cai is going to see him by himself, don't take me with you, lest you stain my eyes."

"Don't worry, virtuous brother, I just went to meet this person, I have no intention of making friends with him. In my heart, when it comes to talent, no one in the world can surpass my virtuous brother."

Wu Liang nodded with a smile, and then said, "However, brother Zhuge, I have a small suggestion for you. If you can accept it, it may benefit you for the rest of your life."

"Oh? Talented brother, please tell me. If it really benefits me a lot, I will accept it humbly."

Although Zhuge Liang was a young maniac, after being beaten by Wu Liang in the tomb and seeing Wu Liang's skills, he now admires him and is willing to listen to him.

What's more, Wu Liang just praised him as "the most talented in the world".

Rebellious teenagers in adolescence, you just have to smooth out your hair, smooth out that little rebellious psychology, you can do whatever you say...

"Good to say."

Wu Liang nodded slightly, and asked with a smile, "Your brother is also a person who is familiar with history books. He must have read a lot of historical allusions. Throughout history, there are countless capable people and strange people. You can see why some people are obviously talented but end up with nothing. , but ended up with a ruined family, and some people can make meritorious deeds, brother, do you know why?"

"In my opinion, this is the time to make heroes, nothing more than the fate of the times."

Zhuge Liang thought for a moment, and answered seriously.

"However, some people share the same fate at the same time, so why are the endings still different? Just like today, in the same chaotic world, talented people choose good trees to live in. Knowledge, family background, opportunity, lord... These people have the same Given the opportunity, why are some people able to enter the palace, while others end up with a different head?"

Wu Liang asked again.

"This……"

This question really stumped Zhuge Liang. The child frowned and thought for a while, but still couldn't come up with a reasonable answer, so he had to ask Wu Liangcheng for help, "My stupid brother doesn't know, please give me your advice."

"Although there may be an element of fate in this, but as the saying goes, 'it depends on people to make things happen', in Brother Wei's opinion, the biggest problem of these people's different endings is probably the word 'love'."

Wu Liang smiled.

"Affection?"

Zhuge Liang heard it in a daze.

Several backbones of the Huren Army next to him also looked puzzled, and then they turned their heads to look at Bai Jingjing who also looked puzzled, and said in their hearts, "Could this be the reason why your son is different?"

Especially Yu Ji.

When this old boy heard this word, he even began to wonder if he had made a wrong persistence in his life, which is why he was so mediocre...

"What are you looking at me for? It has nothing to do with me!"

Bai Jingjing's pretty face flushed slightly, she quickly lowered her head to avoid everyone's gaze.

Wu Liang also convinced these guys' understanding, so he had to explain to everyone in more detail: "The 'feeling' I mentioned is 'emotional intelligence', not the love between men and women."

"EQ?"

This is another word that no one can understand.

"Brother talented, what does the word 'emotional intelligence' mean?"

Zhuge Liang withdrew his gaze and hurriedly asked.

"In simple terms, this 'emotional intelligence' means, I know I am better than you, but I will never say I am better than you, I know I am number one in the world, but I will always say I am number two."

Wu Liang smiled lightly, and said persuasively, "Brother Zhuge, when you understand the meaning of this sentence, you will also have enough emotional intelligence, and then it will be time for you to become a marquis."

"I know that I am number one in the world, but I will always say that I am number two..."

Zhuge Liang was slightly taken aback, chewing Wu Liang's words carefully, but his brows gradually relaxed, as if he had begun to understand the meaning of these few words.

"..."

When everyone in the Huan army heard these words, they all looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

Dian Wei and Bai Jingjing's EQ may be slightly worse, but Yang Wanli and Yu Jike are both experienced in dealing with people, so they naturally understood the meaning of Wu Liang's words in an instant.

I have to admit, leading this kind of defiant rebellious kid.

Wu Liang claims to be number two, but no one in the world dares to call himself number one...

……

It is not too late.

After instructing the soldiers of the Tuan Army to continue to handle the follow-up work of the Qiumu Cemetery, Wu Liang took Dian Wei, Bai Jingjing, Yu Ji, Yang Wanli, and Zhuge Liang to leave Deng County and head straight for Xiangyang City not far from here.

Zhuge Liang led the way, and the first person to visit was naturally the Huang family where Huang Yueying lived.

Wu Liang knew that Huang Yueying's real name must not be Huang Yueying, because the gentry at this time valued a single name, and only ordinary people with a particularly low social status would have two-syllable names.

Even if the Huang family is in decline, they will definitely not give Huang Yueying such a two-syllable name.

If the guess is correct, "Yueying" should be a character that she started after she was a child, and her real name is still to be verified.

Therefore, Huang Yueying's father's real name is not "Huang Chengyan". He also has an official single name. Although there is no record in history, his real name Wu Liang has been known through Zhuge Liang.

Huang Chengyan's real name is Huang Shuang, and his style name is Chengyan.

It's a pity that Huang Yueying's real name Zhuge Liang is unknown.

After all, Huang Yueying is still a girl who has not left the cabinet at the moment. Although there is no custom of forcing women to stay out of the door these days, the Huang family was once a respectable noble family, and girls who have not left the cabinet naturally do not often show their faces, so Zhuge Liang There is no chance of contacting such a brat at all, and it is reasonable to not know.

After more than an hour.

Wu Liang and others finally entered Xiangyang City.

Although the current Xiangyang City can't be said to be a bustling city, it is more prosperous than most of the places Wu Liang has been to. There are not many pedestrians coming and going on the street, and there are slightly more young and middle-aged people than Chenliu County City.

This is because many big-name aristocrats gathered in the land of Jingchu in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Although the princes from all walks of life have raised their troops, in order not to offend these gentry clansmen, and to avoid the world's verbal criticism, no one will bring the flames of war to this place for the time being... It is for this reason that after the death of Zhuge Xuan, the powerless Zhuge Liang was able to She lived in seclusion here comfortably until she was 27 years old, and her life was pretty good.

Of course, marrying Huang Yueying and becoming the son-in-law of the Huang family should not be unrelated.

But Wu Liang definitely wouldn't tell Zhuge Liang about this in advance. Maybe after meeting him, Zhuge Liang's fate has quietly changed. It's hard to say whether he and Huang Yueying still have a historical marriage.

Naturally, Wu Liang would not force Zhuge Liang, let alone Huang Yueying.

Anyway, the two of them are still young and have not yet reached the age of marriage.

Wu Liang had only one purpose for this trip, and that was to meet the legendary Huang Yueying with his own eyes, to see if she was as ugly and talented as recorded in the history books, and to satisfy his curiosity...

Passing through the Qingshi Street in Xiangyang City, Wu Liang and the others came to a rather large house in a short time.

This house looks about the same size as Wu Liang's big house in Chenliu County, but it is a bit older. The vermilion lacquer on the door has cracked, and the wood color under the vermilion lacquer is exposed in many places. Some iron door studs on the door are also mottled with rust, only the door knocker that is often used is relatively smooth.

Besides.

The plaque on the door has also faded, and the word "Huangfu" engraved on it is gray and desolate.

It seems that what Zhuge Liang said is right, the Huang family has indeed fallen into decline, and even the appearance of the most valued representative of the gentry can no longer be cared about.

Probably because of this, Huang Chengyan betrothed Huang Yueying to Zhuge Liang, and asked Huang Yuepei to accompany Zhuge Liang to live the hard life of men farming and women weaving on the hills outside Deng County.

"Brother talented, shall I go in and report first?"

Zhuge Liang turned around and asked.

In fact, the door of the Huang Mansion was ajar at the moment, and there were no servants guarding it, so Wu Liang and the others could walk in without hesitation.

However, in terms of etiquette, it is better to send someone in to make a report first.

"Go ahead and tell me that I am a lieutenant under General Liu Biao's account, and I am here to visit you at General Liu's order."

Wu Liang threw his black ribbon seal to Zhuge Liang, and said with a smile.

As far as Wu Liang knew, Huang Chengyan and Liu Biao were actually related.

According to historical records, Huang Chengyan's father-in-law, Cai Xi, had two daughters in total. The eldest daughter married Huang Chengyan, and the youngest daughter married Liu Biao, and was deeply loved by Liu Biao.

In this way, Huang Chengyan and Liu Biao are naturally relatives.

However, judging from the current situation, the relationship between Huang Chengyan and Liu Biao seems to be the same. Otherwise, if Liu Biao is a little helpful and randomly arranges Huang Chengyan for an official position, even if the Huang family is in decline, they should not be in despair. Now this level.

Of course, this should also have something to do with the marriage customs in this matter.

The daughters married at this time are the water that was poured out. Cai Xi's two daughters married Huang Chengyan, and they had to be named Huang, and they were called Huang's family. The natal family has already drawn a boundary, not to mention that there is such a relationship in between.

However, in history, Liu Biao was good to the Cai family because he loved the youngest daughter of the Cai family.

The general "Cai Mao" at the end of Han Dynasty was Liu Biao's brother-in-law. He had a high position in Liu Biao's camp, and even had the right to abolish the elders and establish the younger ones after Liu Biao's death.

Coincidentally, this "Cai Mao" is also Boss Cao's old friend.

When Boss Cao went south, it was Cai Mao who forced his nephew Liu Cong (cong second voice), the shepherd of Jingzhou, to surrender voluntarily.

But these are the aftermath.

Wu Liang is only interested in Huang Yueying now, and everything else has nothing to do with him.

"clear."

After hearing Wu Liang's words, Zhuge Liangliang nodded and pushed the door open and walked in.

After about a cup of tea, hurried footsteps came from inside the door.

The two lacquered red lacquered gates in front of him opened immediately, and a middle-aged man who was about the same age as Zhuge Xuan ran out with a pair of straw sandals that hadn't been worn yet. When he saw Wu Liang, he bowed and said, "I don't know." Lieutenant Wu came to visit, but I feel lost, please forgive me."

"Mr. Huang please get up quickly, how can the general be able to afford it, see the ceremony."

Wu Liang only knew that this person was Huang Chengyan, and quickly reached out to support him, and smiled while returning the salute.

"Affordable, how can you not afford it?"

Huang Chengyan still had a flattered expression, and said again and again, "Unexpectedly, General Liu would still miss my distant relatives, but I don't know the etiquette. I haven't brought anyone to visit me in these years. I'm really ashamed... Wu Captain, please come inside, I will ask my wife to prepare some tea and snacks to entertain you."

"You're welcome, Mr. Huang, please!"

Wu Liang held Huang Chengyan's hand as he spoke, pretending to be very close, and walked side by side into the courtyard with him.

The others in the Huanren Army looked at each other and smiled, and followed behind them without saying a word.

They didn't know that there was a distant relationship between Huang Chengyan and Liu Biao, and Zhuge Liang never said it, but when they thought of what Wu Liang said when he asked Zhuge Liang to go in to report, the details came out in an instant.

They knew Wu Liang, this guy never fought unprepared.

Presumably, since he went to Xiangyang City to visit Huang's family on purpose, and then lied about his family as a lieutenant under Liu Biao's tent, he must have known something in advance, and maybe he was holding back some bad news.

Such a group was led by Huang Chengyan into the living room and sat down.

Huang Chengyan ran out in a hurry to arrange tea and snacks to entertain them. At this time, Yu Ji found an opportunity to wink and whispered to Wu Liang: "Young master, how to cooperate with the old man later, you can let me know in advance, so the old man can do it in advance." Make some preparations, lest it will look bad if you wear a top."

"?"

Wu Liang reacted for a while, and then he figured out why Yu Ji said that. He was angry and funny at once, rolled his eyes and scolded, "What are you thinking, do you think I'm the kind of person who is always bluffing and deceiving me anytime and anywhere?" Is it?"

"No! The young master has always been aboveboard, of course he is not this kind of person!"

Yu Ji immediately shook his head vigorously, but continued to wink and ask, "So, this time, how does the young master need the old man to cooperate?"

"Kuku..."

Everyone's shoulders suddenly shrugged, and they were extremely uncomfortable laughing.

"Too lazy to talk to you..."

Wu Liang stared around to restrain the crowd, and then said helplessly, "This time I'm just here to see someone, I have no other purpose, so you just need to eat and drink with peace of mind."

"The old man understands."

Yu Ji nodded, and then said seriously, "But son, after entering this house, the old man has already seen some problems. The Feng Shui pattern of this house has violated the 'five ghosts' position' in the 'Eight Houses Law'. It is a veritable ominous house."
