Soldiers come to the world

In Xiakou, in front of the pier, a young man in Tsing Yi stood holding a sword. His figure was tall and thin, like a thousand-year-old vine, with a kind of hard flexibility.

He is about 24 to [-] years old, with pale skin, cold and arrogant eyes, his slender and powerful fingers hold a long sword, the scabbard is white, and the bronze hilt is polished brightly, like a decades-old sword. Standing with hands behind hands, looking coldly at the Yangtze River.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps, and dozens of soldiers surrounded Huang Zu and his eldest son, Huang She. The young man in green shirt glanced at Huang and his son, and nodded slightly.

"How long has Mr. Wei been here?" Huang Zu asked with a smile on his face.

"Just arrived!"

The young man in the green shirt smiled faintly, and said to Huang She again: "Young Master Huang, are we ready to go?"

Huang She nodded and cupped his fists at Huang Zu, "Father, the child is gone."

Huang Zu was a little preoccupied, he stepped forward and told his son, "Going to Xiangyang, we must find out the news, if it is true, we must find ways to beat him and buy time for my father."

"Father, don't worry, the child understands."

Huang Zu cupped his fists again to salute the young man in the green shirt, "Young Master Wei, please leave everything to me."

"Do your best!"

Everyone boarded the boat, the sails were pulled up, Yang Fan set sail, Huang Zu stood at the dock and watched his son's boat go away, and said to himself: "Liu Biao, why did you break your promise and deceive me?"

. . . . . . . . . .

On the official road outside the north city of Xiangyang, Liu Jing rode a horse and followed a carriage slowly. Tao Zhan sat in the carriage, chatting softly with Liu Jing who was riding a horse outside the carriage through the curtain of the carriage.

"Young Master Jing, I don't understand why you must go to Wangjiang Tower. According to my personality, I will never step into that tavern again if they didn't give me face like that last time."

"I'm the opposite of you. The less face Wangjiang Tower gives me, the more I'll go. If they don't give me an apology, they won't be able to enter Fancheng in the future."

"I understand a little bit. Is the young master trying to benefit himself from public affairs?"

Liu Jing laughed heartily, "It should be called public revenge!"

The car curtain is made of two layers of light gauze, which is translucent, and the interior of the car is slightly dark. In this way, Tao Zhan can see Liu Jing's every move, but Liu Jing can't see Tao Zhan's expression. I have a psychological advantage.

She held her cheeks, her eyes moved, and she stared at Liu Jing outside the car with a smile. This guy is quite handsome. Although he is a little less elegant, he is heroic and mighty, and he is many times better than Liu Cong. .

She didn't understand why Ms. Cai didn't like Liu Jing, but she fell in love with the thin and unattractive Second Young Master Liu.

Are these daughters of aristocratic families really pitiful?Even his own life-long event has to be involved in the power struggle in Jingzhou.

The carriage slowly arrived at the Wangjianglou Tavern. Last night Liu Jing specially sent one of his men to reserve a seat. As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the tavern, the shopkeeper and two bartenders rushed out of the tavern. The chubby shopkeeper Wang He personally held the reins of Liu Jing's war horse, nodded and bowed, and said with a smile on his face: "We have already arranged it, and we will wait for the young master to come!"

Wangjiang Tavern is the most famous tavern in Xiangyang City. Sitting in front of the window, you can overlook the beautiful scenery of the Han River. Therefore, there is an endless stream of dignitaries who come here to eat. Although Liu Jing is the nephew of the state shepherd, he is actually not a big deal among the guests of the tavern.

But the shopkeeper was afraid of his military position, and he controlled the gate of Fancheng. If he deliberately made things difficult for the tavern, he would not be allowed to enter the city. If they couldn't enter Fancheng to buy ingredients, the tavern would be ruined.

This means that the county magistrate is not as good as the current manager, so the shopkeeper is extraordinarily enthusiastic about Liu Jing.

Liu Jing smiled slightly, "Thank you very much!"

He got off his horse, stepped forward to open the car door, and stretched out his arms. Tao Zhan wore a veiled hat, and the white gauze around the pointed bamboo hat was lowered, covering his pretty and charming face.

She rested her slender fingers on Liu Jing's arms, her jade fingers were like green onions, and the bright red cardamom on her ten fingers was extraordinarily bright in the sun. She stabilized her figure and slowly got off the carriage. Normally, the maid stepped forward to help her, but today the maid When he was not around, Liu Jing stepped forward to help.

Inside the veil at the brim of the hat, Tao Zhan smiled softly. It was the first time she enjoyed this kind of treatment. A tall general actually helped her down with his arms. Although it was a little weird, Tao Zhan didn't think She was abrupt, but everything was logical. As a matter of course, she felt that Liu Jing was more considerate and considerate.

Tao Zhan is wearing a white embroidered long skirt today. The long skirt is tied under the armpits and hangs gracefully on the ground. With her arms wrapped in scarlet silk, she looks more handsome and pretty. In fact, Tao Zhan is not the tall and slender type. Medium-to-high, slightly plump, round and jade-like, with elegant demeanor and another kind of charming charm.

The shopkeeper personally led them up to the second floor, which was the same seat as last time, but today Liu Cong heard that he would not come, even if he came, the shopkeeper decided to offend him, who told him not to guard Fancheng?

"Sir, please sit down, please sit down, girl, I offended you a lot last time, today I treat guests at the small shop, and apologize for the poor hospitality last time."

The shopkeeper is slick and good at dealing with people. He knows how to curry favor with Liu Jing and make up for the last offense.

Liu Jing nodded, "It's good if you have this attitude, you don't need to treat guests, I won't take what happened last time to my heart."

"Thank you for your generosity, my lord. I'll serve the food and wine right now."

The shopkeeper hurriedly ordered the bartender to arrange the food and drinks, but he didn't bother anymore, and retreated knowingly. Tao Zhan took off his hat. In fact, she didn't want to come to Wangjiang Tavern. The fundamental reason was that she didn't want to meet Liu Cong. This invitation made her have to return to Chaisang, which made her heartbroken, and she didn't want to be disappointed again this time.

At this moment, someone at the table next to him suddenly shouted, "Young Master Jing!"

When Liu Jing turned around, his eyes lit up. It turned out to be Xu Shu and Cui Zhouping. It was a coincidence that they were also in the tavern. Liu Jing quickly got up and smiled, "When did the two brothers come back?"

Xu Shu stepped forward to salute and said, "Zhouping has been back for a few days, and I just came back yesterday."

Although Liu Jing also wanted to be alone with Tao Zhan, but. ． ． ． ．This is Xu Shu. He would be even happier if he could have a drink with Xu Shu.

He hurriedly introduced the two scribes to Tao Zhan first, and then introduced them with a smile: "This young lady is the daughter of Chaisang Tao, and she is my best friend."

Although Tao Zhan's beauty amazed the two of them, they heard that she was the daughter of the Tao family in Caisang. Xu Shu and Cui Zhouping both understood that she was the daughter of the Tao family.

Although the Tao family is rich and famous, they are still businessmen after all, and their status is not high, especially in the circle of literati who study metaphysics in Jingzhou.

It's just that Xu Shu and Cui Zhouping are very self-cultivated, and they will never show the slightest disdain on their faces. They both bowed deeply, "So it's Miss Tao, I'm sorry."

Tao Zhan also bowed to them, "Both gentlemen are talented people, well-known in Jingxiang. Although the little girl is in her boudoir, she has heard of it. Seeing you today, the little girl is very lucky."

Seeing that they seemed to have just arrived, Liu Jing smiled and said, "Brothers, bring the wine table over and have a drink together."

Xu Shu and Cui Zhouping glanced at each other, they are both talented and beautiful, what is it for them to get involved, the two refused repeatedly, but Liu Jing must insist, helpless, the two had no choice but to laugh: "Mr. .”

The two ordered the bartender to bring the table over, and the four of them formed a circle, talking and laughing happily. Although Tao Zhan didn't want them to sit here, as long as Liu Jing was talking and laughing happily, she would not resist. She sat quietly by the side, smiling and Silent.

"Master Jing talked about Kong Ming last time, should we implement it?"

Xu Shu was relatively young, and he had been thinking about Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying. Just now he was talking about this with Cui Zhouping, when he happened to meet Liu Jing, Xu Shu couldn't bear the anxiety in his heart and asked.

What happened last time was that Liu Jing was moved by Huang Yueying's piano sound, and wanted to help this infatuated woman, but it has been three months, and his courage to do justice has faded. If Xu Shu didn't mention it, he wouldn't say that again. thing.

Now that Xu Shu had asked, Liu Jing had to think about it and asked the two of them, "I'm worried that the mandarin ducks will be messed up, and it won't work out in the end. I don't know if the two of them have this fate?"

Cui Zhouping stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Actually, we all know that the woman must be deeply affectionate and lovesick. She also fell ill two months ago, but the man was a little hesitant."

"Why is he hesitating?" Liu Jing asked puzzled.

"Is that even a question?"

Xu Shu smiled wryly, "Kongming likes Yueying's talent and learning, but he also thinks that she is not good-looking, so he can't make up his mind. He wants Yueying to be his confidant, but Yueying wants him to be her husband."

At this time, Tao Zhan, who had been silent all this time, asked with a smile, "What you said seems very interesting, can you let me know?"

"of course can!"

Liu Jing then told Tao Zhan that Huang Yueying was infatuated with Zhuge Liang, but Zhuge Liang was hesitant. Generally speaking, it is a woman's nature to matchmaking and matchmaking, and Tao Zhan was no exception. Her interest was immediately aroused, and she was curious. Asked: "Then how are you going to help this Huang girl?"

Xu Shu had a secret in his heart, and he couldn't hide it. Before Liu Jing could open his mouth, he smiled first: "We plan to propose marriage to the Huang family for Kong Ming, so that Miss Huang can fulfill her wish. In the words of Mr. Jing, it is made of raw rice. Mature rice."

Tao Zhan rolled his eyes at Liu Jing, "Make cooked rice with raw rice", what is this called?

"I think your idea is good, but it's a bit rash. This is a lifelong event!"

In Tao Zhan's heart as pure as white jade, money, status, everything is fine, but if there is no love, then the marriage will definitely be unhappy.

She saw that these three men were self-righteous and wanted to match up a couple who they thought were deeply affectionate by cheating.

She was really worried about them in her heart, "But have you ever thought about it, if Mr. Zhuge doesn't like Miss Huang, even if he marries her out of face, what will happen in the future? Will Miss Huang's life be happy, and what will Mr. Zhuge do?" look at you."

"The girl is worrying too much."

Cui Zhouping explained with a smile: "We know Kong Ming very well. He has said in person that he admires Miss Huang's talent and learning piano skills, but he can't make up his mind because of secular prejudice, so we, as his best friends, have the responsibility Fulfill his wish for him, I believe that after they get married, they will definitely follow each other and respect each other as guests."

Xu Shu also laughed and said, "Of course we won't mess around with mandarin ducks. Kong Ming is not an ordinary person. It is his luck to marry Yueying. He will be grateful to us."

Tao Zhan saw that they were determined to go their own way, so she had to think about the good things in her heart. Maybe this is really a good thing, so she asked Liu Jing, "What method does Mr. Jing plan to propose?"

"It's very simple. Brother Cui can imitate Kong Ming's handwriting, so let Brother Cui imitate his handwriting to write a marriage proposal. Let's find a matchmaker to deliver it to the Huang's mansion for Kong Ming, or let Brother Cui come to deliver the proposal in person."

Tao Zhanxiu frowned slightly, "But what about the elders? When the two families finally decide on the marriage, they need the elders to come forward."

Thinking of Kuai Yue, Liu Jing smiled and said, "It's easy, I'll find an elder and promise to give the Huang family face."

Tao Zhan sighed secretly in his heart, it was simply nonsense, Mr. Jing had always been rational, but he became as mischievous as a child no matter what.

She didn't know that Liu Jing had the special ability to know 500 years later, although sometimes this kind of foresight is not very reliable.

Xu Shu pondered for a moment, and then put forward a new suggestion, "Actually, it's better to let Kong Ming send the marriage proposal by himself. Patriarch Huang will be more impressed by his sincerity, and the marriage will be sure."

"You are joking!"

Cui Zhouping dismissed his suggestion, "How could Kong Ming deliver the letter by himself? If he is willing to happily marry Yueying, what else do we need to do here?"

But Liu Jing's heart moved, and he quickly glanced at Tao Zhan, thoughtfully, he smiled and said: "Actually, as long as you think cleverly, you can let Kong Ming deliver the letter by himself."

Tao Zhan found that she knew Liu Jing better and better. When he smiled slyly, she knew that Liu Jing was playing his own tricks. After thinking about it, she suddenly understood Liu Jing's intentions, and she was very coquettish, "You want to mess with the mandarin ducks. I don't care, but don't try to drag me into it!"

． ． ． ． ． ． ． ．

The Xiangyang Tibetan Literature Museum is the largest collection of books in Jingzhou. It covers an area of ​​[-] acres and consists of ten huge buildings. There are hundreds of thousands of volumes of books on various bamboo slips. Every day from morning to night, scholars who come here to study and study There is an endless stream of literati.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhuge Liang galloped here as usual. He came here almost every three or four days to borrow and exchange books. , "Brother Kong Ming!"

When Zhuge Liang turned around, it turned out to be Xu Shu. He got off his horse, cupped his hands and said with a smile, "When did Yuan Zhi come back?"

"I just arrived the day before yesterday, and I was planning to visit my dear brother these two days. I didn't expect it to be a coincidence that I met here."

"It's really a coincidence. I'm here to find some books, and Yuan Zhi is also here to read them!"

"Exactly, why don't we find a place to chat."

Zhuge Liang smiled happily: "Go to the book first, and I will treat you to a drink at noon."

"Then beat Kong Ming's autumn wind."

The two laughed and walked into the Tibetan language library together.

About [-] steps away from the gate, a carriage was parked with the curtains half-opened. Tao Zhan sat in the carriage and observed Zhuge Liang carefully. She had already remembered Zhuge Liang's appearance and behavior in her heart.
