Han Xiang

Chapter 429 Stargazing at night Zhang Yide

Liu Bei wanted to ask Sima Hui to go to Wollongong with him, but Sima Hui lingered in the post for half an hour, so he got up and left on the pretext that he had something to do.

While Liu Ye delivered the letter to Sima Hui, Liu Bei urged Guan and Zhang to put on new clothes. The three brothers first went to the city to buy gifts, and then went to Wollongong to seek talents.

He didn't meet at the door twice, Zhuge Liang compared himself arrogantly, Xu Shu and Sima Hui each praised him.

At this time, Liu Bei felt like he was going on a blind date for the first time. The matchmaker praised him as perfect, and he was full of anticipation.

It's like a deer lives in my heart.

Jumping and jumping, it is difficult to suppress the excitement.

In early spring, the grass grows and the warblers fly.

The warm sun shines, and everything sprouts.

The people of Wollongong took off the shackles of the cold winter and began to work in the fields.

The melting ice and snow nourish the soil with nutrients, and farmers turn over the fields and weed to prepare for spring plowing.

Spring is the season of hope, and Liu Bei is in a great mood when he walks in the field. From time to time, he asks the people about talents on the job, and gets all positive feedback.

When I came to the familiar thatched cottage, the door was opened by the familiar servant boy.

Finally heard the good news this time, Zhuge Liang was at home at this time, but because he returned home late last night, he was still lying in the room at this time.

The servant boy led the three of them into the courtyard, and was about to enter the inner hall to wake up Zhuge Liang, but was stopped by Liu Bei's long arm.

"Mr. Wolong is tired from the journey, please don't disturb Xiantong, the three of my brothers may as well wait."

"Oh, take care of yourself"

Seeing what Liu Bei said, the servant boy didn't rush to wake up the master. He gently cupped his hands at the three of them, and then entered the left side room of the thatched cottage.

Although the three brothers usually got up early, they stayed with Sima Hui for half an hour. After shopping for gifts and on their way, it was past time when they arrived in Wollongong.

Guan Yu looked up and found that the sun was approaching the mid-heaven, so he sneered at Zhang Fei: "As expected of Wolong, it's almost noon, yet you're still sleeping."

"No."

"Second and third brothers, don't talk nonsense. Mr. Wolong is tired from the journey, so it is reasonable to sleep a little longer. Let's just wait patiently and stop making loud noises."

Liu Bei hurriedly interrupted the two of them with a deep voice, then walked to the corridor and stood like a pine.

It was approaching noon at this time, the door of the middle hall of the main room in the north was ajar, Liu Bei stood outside the door with excitement, he really wanted to peek in through the crack of the door, but he remained motionless because of etiquette.

Liu Bei was entangled in his heart and didn't know how long he stood until the shadow of the sundial in the courtyard pointed directly downward.

Guan Yu looked at the sundial from time to time, and looked at Liu Bei's position from time to time. The good mood in the morning was wiped out, and he thought that you, Crouching Dragon, can really lie down.

Zhang Fei was irritable, not as calm as Liu Bei and Guan Yu. At first he could lean against a corner and wait, but when the sun was shining on his head, he got up and paced back and forth in the courtyard.

Due to the irritability in his steps, Liu Bei turned slightly sideways when he saw this, and cast a reproachful look at Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei and Liu Bei met each other's eyes, and then stood still in the same place knowingly, but he was thinking wildly in his heart, saying that Kong Ming couldn't afford to lie down and was rude first, I can't let the eldest brother continue to stand, I have to make some noise to wake this guy up.

If you want to make a noise, you must hit it right away, otherwise Wolong will continue to pretend that he can't sleep, and he will be scolded by his elder brother for nothing.

Go straight up and smash the door?Or set fire to the back of the house?
After all, Big Brother wants to ask Wolong to come out of the mountain. It seems to be too much to do so.

By the way, Zhang Fei suddenly had an idea.

He remembered the story he heard in Hefei, when Long Xiang made a bet with Lu Su and Liu Ye that Sun Ce would die early in order to keep Lu Su and Liu Ye.

Why don't I find a reason to discuss with my second brother to attract Kong Ming's attention?
After thinking for a while, Zhang Fei walked up to Guan Yu and said loudly, "Second brother, you left Xudu with your seal and gold. Have you met Cao Cao? Is he in good health?"

"what?"

Guan Yu was stunned when he heard this, and immediately understood that Zhang Fei's loud voice must have woken Wolong up on purpose, so he also loudly cooperated: "Cao Cao was in Guandu at that time, and he didn't say goodbye in person, but he has been in the army for a long time, and his health should be quite good."

"Tsk tsk, that's a pity." Zhang Fei shook his head to play tricks: "I watched the stars last night and found that Cao thief is afraid of dying soon."

"Ah this."

Zhang Fei's words were too outrageous, making it impossible for Guan Yu to continue.

Liu Bei rushed into the courtyard angrily, stared at Zhang Fei and said in a low voice, "What's the matter with you? What kind of astrology do you watch at night? Do you know how?"

"what"

While Liu Bei reprimanded him, a lazy yawn came from the main room.

The voice was obviously made by Wolong, and Liu Bei was like a robot receiving the message, standing still in place, completely forgetting that he was asking Zhang Fei to blame.

"Huh? It's already bright outside the house. What time is it? I heard voices in the courtyard. Is there a visitor?"

"It's past noon now, Uncle Liu Huang has been waiting here for a long time"

"You have a distinguished guest, why don't you report it early? Hurry up and change clothes to meet me."

The thatched main house and the side house are built next to each other, and there should be a connecting door inside.

After listening to the conversation between Zhuge Liang and the servant boy, Liu Bei hurriedly called Guan Yu to the front, and the three brothers arranged their robes for each other, preparing to meet the legendary Crouching Dragon.

After a while, the door of the middle hall opened wide.

Dressed in white, Zhuge Liang stepped out of the threshold to look at the Three Heroes of Taoyuan.

The three brothers also looked at the scholars under their door. Zhuge Liang was eight feet tall and had a face like a crown jade.

Liu Bei was the first to react, bowing his hands and cupping his fists in salute: "I have heard about Mr. Jiu's name for a long time, and Bei has admired him for a long time. I never saw him during my previous two visits. Now I am able to see him. It is really a joy for my life."

"The savages in Nanyang are lazy by nature, the general and the emperor's family, but he came to visit the thatched cottage three times, Liang is ashamed to accept it." Zhuge Liang hurriedly returned the gift.

"The descendant of the last emperor is not worth mentioning." Liu Bei stood up again, pointed to Guan and Zhang and introduced: "This is Guan Yu Guan Yunchang, Zhang Fei Zhang Yide"

"The enemy of ten thousand people, bright for a long time."

Zhuge Liang asked the crowd modestly, and then led the three brothers into the hall to sit down.

"The humble house is simple, there is no good food and wine, and the bright springs are used to treat guests. Generals, please don't blame them." Zhuge Liang greeted the three with a bamboo cup in his hand.

Liu Bei nodded and smiled, and said to him: "The sweet spring is clear and refreshing after drinking. The environment here is quiet and quiet, often accompanied by the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers. My husband lives in seclusion here, so he is really happy."

Zhuge Liang shook his head modestly: "The yellow scarves are in chaos and the feudal lords are conquering the country. There is really no place for peace and happiness. In addition, Liang lost his father when he was young. He moved to Jingzhou and had nothing to rely on. He can only plow here to enjoy himself, read books and make friends in his free time. He doesn't want Bo Ming to listen to it and make everyone laugh."

"Oh? It's such a coincidence."

Liu Bei looked surprised, thinking that we have something in common?So he hurriedly responded: "Bei Yi lost his father when he was young, and lived with his mother. He was weaving mats and selling shoes in Zhuo County. It seems like a lifetime away."

Zhuge Liang nodded slightly: "The general is young and old, so he must have suffered a lot. I have always heard that the general is famous for his benevolence, virtue and virtue, and the two righteous brothers have the courage to be undeserved. Why hasn't it been done until now?"

"I'm ashamed to say it." Liu Bei smiled bitterly: "We have the courage of ordinary people, but we have no wise counselors to point out, so until now"

"Not necessarily?"

Zhuge Liang frowned and asked back: "I just listened to the conversation in the courtyard. It seems that there are people who can observe the stars and judge life and death. I can't ask myself if they are so talented. How can there be no wise counselors?"
