Shortly after Liu Xuan successfully escaped from Xiangyang City, the notepad in his mind suddenly opened automatically.
Immediately, the task completion prompt also appeared.

He knew that it was Lu Bu and Zhao Liniang who arrived in Xuchang with Liu Bei's four personal guards.

According to the plan, these four personal guards will confess to the court officials that Yousi Ren took advantage of the chaos to break into the palace and murder the emperor.

It seems that things are going smoothly on Lu Bu's side.

The testimonies of four people, plus the supporting evidence from the scene of the emperor's murder, were enough to clear Liu Xuan's suspicion.

The only imperfect thing is that Liu Bei and Moss seemed to have planned it, and four of their guards were rescued.
They also immediately calculated that Liu Xuan would use them to make the truth about the emperor's assassination public.

So they acted in advance and proclaimed themselves emperor directly in Xiangyang.
And he told the world that he would continue to destroy Liu Xuan, the regicide.

At least in the Jingzhou area, Liu Bei's strategy was successful.

Most of the people believed that it was Liu Xuan who captured Xuchang and killed the emperor's line.
It is believed that Liu Bei really proclaimed himself emperor in Xiangyang and attacked Liu Xuan in order to continue Han Zuo.

Both sides insisted on their own opinions, and the impact of the regicide case on Liu Bei was minimized.

Liu Xuan looked at the words in the notepad, the scannable thoughts, and the scannable military documents.

They all seemed good, but he was still in Xiangyang and had no intention of studying the entries for the time being, so he had to order the entries to be temporarily stored.

Liu Xuan disappeared quietly from Xiangyang. Liu Bei and Yousi people were not aware of it yet, and most of Jingzhou's troops were still concentrated in Xiangyang.

This gave Liu Xuan the opportunity to escape all the way north.

In just a few days, Liu Bei crossed the river, bought a horse from the outskirts of Xinye, and headed straight for Nanyang.

As long as you pass Nanyang and walk north for a few days, you will reach Yuzhou in time.

According to their agreement, Lu Bu, Zhao Liniang and others will wait for Liu Xuan in Xuchang, Yuzhou.

Liu Xuan entered Nanyang, but still did not dare to expose his whereabouts too much.

Nanyang was Liu Bei's territory. Liu Bei took the initiative to withdraw from Shouchun and gave Shouchun to Cao Cao, in exchange for Nanyang from Cao Cao.

Later, Liu Bei asked for Xinye and Huyang from Liu Biao, and then established a foothold north of Jingzhou.

At this time, Nanyang City was already full of notices offering rewards for Liu Xuan. Liu Xuan had no choice but to abandon the official road to enter the city and choose remote roads and mountain villages.

On this day, Liu Xuan happened to pass by a village, and suddenly he felt like his eyes were shining brightly.

This village is not big, but the scenery is pleasant, and the layout of the houses, roads, and pools in the village gives people a particularly natural feeling of harmony between man and nature.

The roads in the village are also different from other places. They are not bare dirt roads, but roads paved with slates and stones. There are flowers and plants growing on the roadside, shady trees, and winding paths.

Not only that, the farmland in the village seems to have been planned, with water canals leading to every farmland in a very reasonable way. At the end of the farmland, there is also an exquisitely designed waterwheel.

It was the first time Liu Xuan saw this exquisite waterwheel. He couldn't help but get off his horse and give it a try. He found that with just a light step, the waterwheel could rotate several times, and relying on inertia, he didn't need to use much force behind it. This will keep the waterwheel spinning.

An old farmer smiled and watched Liu Xuan playing with the waterwheel, and couldn't help but said with some pride,
"Young man, this waterwheel is a unique farm tool in Wollongong. You can't see such a good thing outside."

Liu Xuan smiled and stepped on the waterwheel again, "This farm tool is indeed exquisitely made. I wonder who made it?"

"Haha, of course it was created by Mr. Wolong. Not only this waterwheel, but also the windmill over there, the self-propelled plow we use for plowing, the stone cutter for paving, and there are many magical things."

The old farmer kept talking about the various wonderful tools in the village, looking excited.

Liu Xuan suddenly looked startled,
and many more.

Nanyang territory, Mr. Wolong, Wollongong, could it be him?

"May I ask, old gentleman, who is this Mr. Wolong you are talking about?"

The old farmer seemed a little unhappy, "Young man, you came to Wollongong and you don't know who Mr. Wolong is?"

"Haha, I'm new to your land and I haven't had time to visit yet." Liu Xuan continued to answer gently without arguing with the old farmer.

"Mr. Wolong, of course it's Brother Zhuge. Although Brother Zhuge is young, he is quite capable. Wollongong would not be in such a good situation if Brother Zhuge hadn't helped manage it."

Liu Xuan was extremely excited and interrupted the old farmer, "Brother Zhuge, is this Zhuge Liang?"

"Uh," the old farmer said after a pause, "That's right, young man, it turns out you recognize Mr. Wolong."

"Of course I recognize him. I've admired Wolong's name for a long time, but I just haven't had the opportunity to meet him. Since I have the chance to be here today, I would like to ask the old gentleman to tell me where Mr. Wolong lives, and I will go and visit him."

The old farmer seemed to have known that Liu Xuanhui would ask this question, pointing to the stream in front of him,
"No, just go up this Wolong River and reach the bamboo forest at the end."

"Young man, remember, be respectful to Mr. Wolong and don't annoy him."

Liu Xuan curled his lips and said, "I know, I know."

But he was secretly planning in his heart, "I'll take all the others away for you later."

It can be seen that the people of Wollongong respect Zhuge Liang from the bottom of their hearts. Zhuge Liang has done a lot for the villagers of Wollongong Village.

However, in Liu Xuan's view, Zhuge Liang lived in a corner and only managed one village, which was a waste of talent.

Although the village was indeed well managed by him and was very different from other places, in these troubled times, how could Zhuge Liang's talents be put to good use in a small village?

What's more, Liu Xuan has already activated the [Wolong] mission. Since this trip happened to be in Wollongong, hunting rabbits in the grass building, he had to take Zhuge Liang away no matter what.

Following the old farmer's instructions, Liu Xuan traced his way back along the stream, passing through many beautiful countryside, and finally came to the bamboo forest that the old farmer mentioned.

As soon as he entered the bamboo forest, Liu Xuan had to sigh that Zhuge Liang really had a unique vision when it came to finding Feng Shui treasures.

This bamboo forest is located on a slope. Although it is a slope, the slope is very small. A clear stream runs through the bamboo forest in the middle.

Deep in the bamboo forest, a row of exquisite houses are located. Just to match the color tone of the bamboo forest, the roofs of the houses are specially decorated with gray tiles and bamboo citrons.
Is this the legendary Zhuge Lu?

Where did Liu Bei visit the thatched cottage three times?
Liu Xuan roughly observed the row of houses for a while, and found that some places were indeed decorated with thatch in order to look integrated with the environment.

In fact, this row of houses can be regarded as exquisite houses even in Xiangyang City.

Liu Xuan came to the bamboo fence of the courtyard and happened to see an imposing young man saying goodbye to a group of friends in the courtyard.

Judging from the clothes of these people, they should be literati and talented people from the Jingxiang area.

After these people dispersed, the young people in the courtyard noticed Liu Xuan outside.

The young man stared at Liu Xuan, his eyes gleaming,
He strode forward, raised his hand and saluted: "Your Excellency is here to visit Cao Lu, but you are not welcome from afar. Please come inside and have a chat."

Liu Xuan returned the greeting, "I was passing by Wollongong and heard the name of Zhuge Wolong, so I came here to visit."

Zhuge Liang welcomed Liu Xuan into the living room and asked the waiter to serve tea. After sitting across from Liu Xuan, Zhuge Liang smiled calmly and said,

"Liang is just a country man. It's just that the folks in the village are too humane and talk about Wolong's name everywhere, which makes it difficult for my thatched cottage to be clean."

"However, those who come here are guests, and Liang is also happy to communicate with others. I have benefited a lot from the time. I hope that His Highness the King of Huaiyang's arrival today will also open my eyes."

Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Xuan with a faint smile and revealed Liu Xuan's identity.

Liu Xuan was slightly startled, but he was relieved immediately.

This place is located in Nanyang, and portraits of wanted Liu Xuan are posted everywhere.
And Zhuge Liang did not live in seclusion in Wollongong. Friends often visited him.
He will definitely talk about recent major events, so it is not surprising to know about Liu Xuan.

"Haha, I came all the way from Xiangyang, and no one noticed me wherever I went. I didn't expect Mr. Zhuge to recognize me at a glance. For this reason alone, Wolong's name is not false."

Zhuge Liang waved his hand and said: "His Highness has stirred up such a big storm in Xiangyang City. Liang can't help but pay attention to it. However, Liu Xuande set up a formation of iron barrels in Xiangyang just to intercept His Highness. If he knew that His Highness had already left Xiangyang, I wonder what you would think?”

Liu Xuan looked at Zhuge Liang thoughtfully and did not answer.
"Although you live in Wollongong, sir, you can't hide the external affairs from me. It seems that you are also very concerned about world affairs. In this case, why don't you go out to show your skills? Why are you willing to live in Wollongong and put your thoughts away? Is it all spent on managing one village and one post?”

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan, took a sip of tea soup,
"What Your Highness said is wrong. To govern a country is to govern, and to govern a village is to govern. I can manage Wollongong well and let the villagers live a good life. They are also grateful to me. It is a good thing, not Pointless."

Liu Xuan frowned, but he didn't expect that his insinuations to lure Zhuge Liang out of the mountain had no effect.

The current situation in the world has greatly deviated from the original history.

Liu Xuan is not sure whether Zhuge Liang in this world still has the ideal of making contributions to help the Han Dynasty.

If he really wanted to be in Wollongong, Liu Xuan couldn't really kidnap him.

Thinking of this, Liu Xuan thought,
"Notepad opens."

"Assemblage: Scannable Voices"

[Successful combination, get scannable voice (blue)]

[Scannable voice: Special skill. After specifying the scan target, if the true voice of the scan target is inconsistent with the words spoken, it will be scanned. 】

[Effective time: one hour, cooling time: three days]

[Please select the object to scan. 】

Liu Xuan pretended to lower his head to drink tea, but his mind was staring at the text analysis in the notepad.
This scannable voice is indeed similar to what I thought, that is, I can scan the other person's true thoughts.

Liu Xuan couldn't wait to issue the order,
"Scan target: Zhuge Liang."

[Scanned Zhuge Liang's voice: I, Zhuge Liang, don't want to live in a small mountain village, but I am rushing to work as a counselor. Not to mention the price drop, and I still can't be reused, so I might as well earn some fame in Wollongong and wait for the opportunity. 】

Liu Xuan almost laughed. Zhuge Liang was quite arrogant at heart.

Are you saying you don’t want to leave the mountain?

It turns out that you are afraid that it will not be reused, right?

That's easy.

Liu Xuan organized his thoughts and put on a serious expression on his face.

"Although it is meaningful to govern a village and a post, I just feel that it is too condescending. Now that the world is in dispute, it is the time for a person like you to show your talent."

"To be honest, sir, Liu Xuan made a special detour to Nanyang this time to go to Wollongong in person, just to ask him to help me. I hope he will believe my sincerity."

Zhuge Liang didn't expect Liu Xuan to speak so directly, but he was a little surprised.

"His Highness and I have never met. His Highness only heard rumors about me, Zhuge Liang, from the people in the village. He asked me to leave the mountain so rashly. Forgive me for being frightened, and I dare not agree to His Highness easily."

[Scan to Zhuge Liang’s heartfelt voice: How can I show my ability even if you don’t even ask me or test me?If I just leave with you and arrange any errands for me then, wouldn't it be a waste of my abilities? 】

When Liu Xuan saw Zhuge Liang's thoughts in the notepad, he suddenly felt that he had taken a step too far.

I remember that when Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage three times, he first discussed world affairs with Zhuge Liang and let Zhuge Liang show off his true knowledge and insights. Then he was shocked and shouted bitterly to get Zhuge Liang to join the gang.

Because he was from the perspective of someone who had experienced it, he ignored these things, which did seem a bit abrupt. No wonder Zhuge Liang was worried.

"Haha, Mr. Zhuge misunderstood me. Although you and I have never met, I didn't just hear about Wolong's name today, nor did I hear the rumors from the people in the village."

"I, Liu Xuan, rose up from Huaiyin and conquered Guangling and Yangzhou within a few years. Now I have captured Xuzhou and Yuzhou. I often feel that there are not enough talents under my command, so I have always sent people to explore talents in various places."

"Mr. Zhuge's name has been well known to me for a long time, but I have been unable to get away from him and have no chance to see him. If I just send someone to summon him, it seems that I don't pay enough attention to him, so I came here in person today."

Zhuge Liang's expression calmed down after hearing what Liu Xuan said.

"So that's the case. It seems that His Highness is really well prepared. Liang would like to thank His Highness for visiting in person."

"However, as far as I know, His Highness owns the land of three states and has many talents under his command. Lu Fengxian, Zhang Wenyuan, Gan Xingba, and the Jiangdong Sun family generals are all great talents. Not to mention Jia Wenhe. It is easy for a man who manages the world to govern the three states, so why come to Nanyang to look for him in person?"

[Scanned Zhuge Liang's voice: It's not that I don't want to join you, it's just that you already have enough talents. Even if I go, I won't be able to show much value. It's better to find someone who is relatively poor to assist me, so that I can show my strength. Talent.Alas, it is a pity that there are not many princes in the world who can hold great responsibilities.It’s better to listen to His Highness’s plan before considering it. 】(End of this chapter)
