Daqin arrests alchemists, what does it matter to me as a qi refiner?

Chapter 217 Immortal is my friend

This is a scene destined to go down in history.

Because just today, on this Changban slope, Zhang Fei, one man and one horse, chased five thousand cavalry and fled wildly.

Not only because of Zhang Fei's bravery, but also because of the sudden reinforcements, Cao Jun thought that the enemy was deceitful, so he fled frantically.

A roar in front of Changbanpo created this unprecedented and extremely difficult scene to replicate.

Since Zhang Fei, no one has been able to create such a famous scene in history.

Zhang Fei was so fierce that he didn't lose his mind. He only chased him for a short distance and then stopped chasing him.

When the enemy recovers, he is no longer brave, but will die.

Liu Bei and tens of thousands of people managed to cross Changban Slope unscathed. This is no wonder.

Soon, Wei Yan and Liu Bei met.

To Zhuge Liang's surprise, what was hidden in the mountains and forests was not a large army, but a group of old, weak, women and children.

The so-called army actually only has 900 people capable of fighting, and the rest are all fake.

Wei Yan finally told his origin.

He originally fell into captivity in Nanyang and became a bandit, but fortunately he received advice from an expert, so he prepared to go south to join Liu Bei.

This expert is naturally Qin Tian.

They were bandits, so it was normal for them to take women and children with them.

Originally, they didn't have many people. Even if they brought all the women and children, they would only be over a hundred people.

But because the rewards given to them by Qin Tian were so many and of extremely high quality, they were almost worth thousands of gold in this era.

The snow-white fine noodles, crystal-clear rice, and white sugar as white as snow are all extremely valuable.

Wei Yan then had his own start-up capital.

Along the way, relying on his outstanding personal abilities and his original foundation, he actually managed to pull out a team of thousands of people.

He originally planned to come to Liu Bei to seek refuge, but halfway there he heard the news that Jingzhou had been lost and Liu Bei had no choice but to flee south.

Originally, it was just his temporary decision to join Liu Bei, but now that the news came out, the team became a little distraught.

Some people think that Liu Bei is now a lost dog, so what's the point of joining him again?

Besides, even if he could provide help in times of need, what has Liu Bei become like now? What could people like them do in the past?

It's better to go back home as soon as possible.

If it doesn't work, then there is still Cao Cao!

But after Wei Yan heard the news that Liu Bei was taking the people with him, he decisively defied all opinions and led his team to catch up with Liu Bei!

Liu Bei is so benevolent and righteous towards ordinary people. How can he not treat them like soldiers who help them in times of need?

Wei Yan was determined to get ahead in these troubled times, and traveling thousands of miles to join Liu Bei was the best proof of this.

So of course he won't give up.

Hence the current situation.

If it weren't for the exquisite food presented by Qin Tian, ​​I'm afraid Wei Yan would never have the opportunity he has now.

He recruits people of high quality but not too much. Although there are only 900 people, including women and children, they are only over a thousand years old, but these people are completely loyal to him.

You can tell just by looking at him that no one chose to leave along the way.

And this was his capital to get ahead under Liu Bei!

When it comes to why he wanted to take refuge with Liu Bei, Wei Yan said calmly that it had something to do with Zhuge Liang.

"Is it related to me?" Zhuge Liang was a little stunned.

"That's right." Wei Yan replied honestly: "When I heard in Nanyang City that Mr. Wolong followed Liu Bei, I had similar thoughts."

"It's a pity that I really didn't have much capital at that time, otherwise I would have gone with him!"

Wei Yan smiled honestly: "If I hadn't met an immortal in green who could conjure food out of thin air, it would have taken me many years to follow Mr. Wolong!"

It was said that he came for Liu Bei, but in the final analysis, Wei Yan still believed in Zhuge Liang's judgment.

After all, Zhuge Liang's reputation in Nanyang is not small.

But of course Wei Yan would not be so stupid as to say that he came to seek refuge with Zhuge Liang.

Since I am looking for work under Liu Bei in the future, I must say something good about Liu Bei.

Such as lamenting Liu Bei's benevolence and righteousness.

Of course, Liu Bei's decision to bring the people with him was also one of the reasons that prompted Wei Yan to pursue him unswervingly.

He believed that if Liu Bei treated strangers like this, he would also treat soldiers like him who helped him in times of need badly!

Zhuge Liang's heart moved slightly when he heard Wei Yan's words about the immortal in green.

"You said that the immortal in green...is there a little girl and a cat with him?"

Wei Yan was immediately shocked: "Yes, yes, that's it. How did Mr. Wolong know?"

Zhuge Liang's pupils narrowed.

"Can you tell me in detail what happened that day?"

Wei Yan nodded repeatedly.

What happened that day was so fantastical that no one would believe it.

If it weren't for the white sugar and fine flour rice that Wei Yan had in his hands, no one would believe what he said.

Even with these physical evidences, others are still skeptical of Wei Yan's claims.

How could there be immortals in this world who could conjure food out of thin air?

It's just that no one else could explain the food in Wei Yan's hand that didn't look like mortal food, so they had to choose to believe it.

Zhuge Liang thought of Qin Tian.

Because Zhuge Liang seemed to remember that before Qin Tian said goodbye to him, he seemed to have vaguely mentioned that he no longer wanted to wear white, and might change to a green suit.

Zhuge Liang didn't feel anything at the time, and even said he could recommend several high-quality and low-cost fabric shops. Qin Tian said there was no need to bother.

Looking back now, Qin Tian's unusual demeanor, the mysterious boy, and the cat who is extremely humane.

All this made Zhuge Liang very confused.

After Wei Yan's narration, Zhuge Liang finally confirmed that his friend who fell in love with him at first sight was definitely not a mortal!

Recalling the first time he saw Qin Tian, ​​Zhuge Liang seemed to vaguely remember something.

There is a cave in the back mountain where he lives in seclusion, and there is a stone statue in the cave.

There is no way to know exactly who put it in. There are layers of vines coiled outside the cave, making it difficult to enter.

Only when the light is at its best, can one vaguely see the appearance of the cave through the gaps.

Zhuge Liang felt that the appearance of the statue was somewhat similar to the white-clothed medical fairy worshiped by the people, so he thought it was just a statue of the medical fairy worshiped by the people at some time.

It’s just that as time goes by, no one comes to worship anymore.

There were just statues on the left and right, and Zhuge Liang didn't pay much attention to them.

He had long since put it behind him.

Looking back now, Qin Tian came down from the mountain, and the white dragon disappeared behind this mountain that day.

Moreover, Qin Tiande's appearance is somewhat similar to that statue.

Now that I think about it, could that statue... be Qin Tian?

Zhuge Liang was shocked by his guess!

But how should Bailong explain it?

"Strategist, strategist?"

Liu Bei's shout brought Zhuge Liang back to his senses.

"What did the military advisor think of?" Liu Bei asked cautiously.

"I just called the military advisor for a long time, but the military advisor didn't respond. I thought something was wrong with the military advisor."

"Just now you asked about the appearance of the immortal, could he be a military advisor..."

Zhuge Liang was silent for a long time, but he didn't know how to explain it.

"Let me tell you, Mr. Wolong must know the immortal, otherwise how could he even know what the boy next to the immortal looks like!" Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang eagerly: "Commander, is this really true?"

Zhuge Liang glanced at Wei Yan and said nothing, but Wei Yan felt an inexplicable chill behind him.

Wei Yan sneezed: "Strange, could it be that you caught a cold? Why do you feel a little cold?"

Zhuge Liang nodded: "I don't dare to lie, but Liang has had...contact with that immortal."

Facing Liu Bei's eager gaze, Zhuge Liang considered his words.

"I wonder if my lord can remember that when I left with you that day, I said I wanted to say goodbye to my friends?"

Liu Bei was confused and didn't know why Zhuge Liang suddenly mentioned this matter.

"Of course I know. The military advisor made a mistake that day."

Zhuge Liang shook his head slightly: "That's not the case, Liang... never made a mistake."

"My friend is just like what the article chief said. He is accompanied by a girl carved in pink and jade. The girl often holds a yellow raccoon slave in her arms."

"It's just that my friend is dressed in white, not in green."

Zhuge Liang was silent for a moment, and then added: "Before we parted, Liang seemed to have heard from his friends that he wanted to change his clothes and no longer wear white clothes!"

Liu Bei was immediately shocked: "Is that friend of the military advisor really so unpredictable?"

Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly: "Liang... I really don't know."

"At the beginning and when I first appeared, my friend never showed any strangeness. However, whenever he mentioned the general trend of the world, my friend was very keen and insightful."

"Liang had no doubts before, but now that I think about it..."

"Many of my friends' words are more like a prophecy than a judgment on the general trend of the world."

"prophecy?"

No one would be interested in hearing something like this.

"Then what did the immortal predict?"

Zhuge Liang was a little helpless.

He couldn't tell Liu Bei directly that Qin Tian thought he was very incompetent and not the one to save the world, right?

"He actually didn't predict anything at that time, he just made some analysis of the general trend of the world."

Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Bei's eyes and knew that Liu Bei would definitely not give up if he didn't come up with something.

"It's like Cao Cao. My friend felt that Cao Cao was now powerful. If we couldn't stop him when he went south, I'm afraid he would soon dominate the world!"

Liu Bei looked suddenly confused: "Is it possible that my big man...is hopeless?"

Zhuge Liang was helpless.

He knew it would be like this when he said it.

"it's not true."

"The Immortal also said at that time that things in the world are unpredictable and there are too many variables. Maybe Cao Cao will end up like Yuan Shao like he did in the Battle of Guandu."

Liu Bei's eyes burst out with hope again.

"Is this really what the Immortal said?"

Zhuge Liang could only bite the bullet and replied: "That's true."

Qin Tiantian said this, but Zhuge Liang said it through Qin Tian's mouth.

If he didn't say this, I'm afraid Liu Bei would lose hope on the spot.

It’s no wonder that Liu Bei’s mood fluctuated so much.

After all, after going through the life-and-death situation just now, no one would be in a good mood right now. Such ups and downs are absolutely normal!

Zhuge Liang sighed in his heart.

"Master, don't worry too much. Liang is just guessing. It might be just a coincidence."

Zhuge Liang said helplessly: "I have been with my friend for more than a month, and my friend has not shown anything strange. Maybe it is just a coincidence."

Liu Bei waved his hand and said nothing.

Now he just wants to find the immortal and ask himself, where is the way forward for himself and where is the way forward for the big man?

After the previous fright, Liu Bei felt a little uncomfortable, so he went to rest alone.

After passing Changbanpo, everyone soon met up with the fleet led by Guan Yu in Hanjin.

After a long journey, the people really couldn't support it anymore, so they decided to stay here and rest for one night before making a decision.

It was night, and the lights in Zhuge Liang's tent were brightly lit.

Others can rest, but he can't rest. He still needs to think about how to move forward and where to go next.

Just as he was thinking about it, someone outside the account announced: "Military advisor, there is a man in green clothes asking to see you, saying he is your friend, I don't know..."

Zhuge Liang's eyes suddenly lit up and his heart was shaken.

"Quick, please see me quickly!"

Qin Tian entered the military tent and met Zhuge Liang's eager eyes.

"I knew it, I knew it was you!"

Zhuge Liang was quite emotional: "It's been more than a year since we last said goodbye!"

"I wonder how Brother Qin is doing lately?"

Seeing Qin Tian again, Zhuge Liang felt very complicated.

First of all, Qin Tian's original predictions all came true. Facts have proved that Qin Tian was right.

Next, Zhuge Liang didn't know what attitude to use to face Qin Tian now.

Thinking of all the strange things about Qin Tian and what Wei Yan said a few days ago, it is now difficult for Zhuge Liang to interact with Qin Tian with a normal heart.

Qin Tian also found it very interesting.

But he didn't expect that Changbanpo would undergo such a big change because of himself.

Wei Yan joined Liu Bei's forces in advance, and Liu Bei was not chased to the point of losing his armor at Changban Slope, and there was no longer the legend of Zhao Yun riding in and out seven times to save the savior alone.

Zhang Fei's roar in front of Changban Slope is still there, but it is also very different from the original history.

Liu Bei's strength today is much stronger than in history, and he doesn't know what changes will happen in the future.

"I went to the north to see some old places." Qin Tian smiled and said, "I wonder if the military advisor is going well now?"

"Brother Qin, don't laugh at me." Zhuge Liang sighed.

"If it goes well, it won't be like this now."

Qin Tian laughed dumbly: "Did everything I said that day come true?"

"Then I will ask Kong Ming again today, will you regret it?"

Zhuge Liang looked at Qin Tian, ​​his eyes gradually becoming firmer.

"Liang, don't regret it!"

"Today's world needs a benevolent and righteous king like Xuande!"

Qin Tian shook his head slightly: "It seems that I shouldn't have come to ask you this question!"

There was silence in the tent for a long time.

Zhuge Liang hesitated several times, as if he didn't know whether he should ask that question.

He didn't know Qin Tian's identity, let alone what kind of power he had.
