Chapter 415 Liu Bei Seven Visits the Thatched Cottage
Jingzhou, Nanyang County, a few miles west of Longzhong City, Longzhong Mountain.

Putan Mountain is quiet and quiet, with layers of flowers and plants. A stone path winds upwards under the cover of trees, leading from the foot of the mountain to a flat land halfway up the mountain.

The flat land is about several acres, with uneven bamboo forests and gurgling streams, and a few simple thatched huts can be vaguely seen randomly.

Ordinarily, this Longzhong Mountain is just a small mountain no more than a hundred feet high. Apart from the quieter environment, there is no other peculiarity.

However, because this mountain is not covered by a thin layer of mist all the time, and anyone who wants to wait for the top of the mountain has no way to enter, so there are many bizarre rumors spreading among the local people.

Later, there were dense crowds of aliens who surrounded the place all day long, but after a period of time, it seemed as if they hadn't gained anything, and they all continued to disperse.

At this moment, when the drizzle was misty, more than a hundred figures were quietly stationed at the foot of the mountain under the shade of bamboo umbrellas;
It seems to be waiting for someone, and it seems to be just a lost passerby.

The fine raindrops slipped drop by drop from the eaves of the umbrella and splashed onto the already muddy loess underfoot, oozing out of dense fine pits.

The humid weather is like Liu Bei's mood at the moment, so gloomy and hesitant.

The continuous dripping of raindrops not only took away the passage of time, but also took away Liu Bei's expectations and patience.

This was the seventh time he had come here, but that person seemed to be ignorant of it, and he refused to open the mountain gate, and he never gave any reply.

The powerful and unrivaled Wuji Army might go south at any time. In Yuzhou, although he, Cao Cao, and Ding Yuan's princes were gathered together, they didn't even have a shred of confidence in the face of that powerful enemy.

Feng Wuji, heh, what a simple three words.

But it was such a simple three words, and now it forced him, and they were almost out of breath.

In great panic, he went to ask Sima Hui, a famous scholar in Yingchuan, for help, and wanted to ask for a clear path, but Sima Hui gave him more than [-] words, pointing out a person.

"Confucian scholars and ordinary people, don't they know current affairs? Those who know current affairs care about heroes. There is a crouching dragon in Longzhong."

The impact of Sima Hui's words on Liu Bei is undoubtedly huge, which is equivalent to giving him a shot in the arm.

Because what he needs most at this time is someone who can be proficient in current affairs and help him reverse the situation!

To be honest, at first he inevitably had doubts in his heart, but after he came here, he saw this mysterious yet extremely simple maze, and then he heard about those miraculous skills. The rumors about this target increased instantly.

However, he never expected that the man would have no intention of paying attention to his arrival.

Since the time he waited for each of the previous six times was less than half an hour, he guessed that the other party thought he was not sincere enough, so this time he was cruel.

By this time, the sky was already dark, and he had been standing here for more than three hours, but there was still no movement.

This undoubtedly made Liu Bei a little unbearable.

But just when Liu Bei's eyes showed a hint of impatience, the mist that lingered for a long time suddenly fluctuated, and then a seven or eight-year-old boy suddenly appeared in front of everyone. on the trail.

The little boy had two braids in the sky, and was dressed in a neat book boy's attire, looking really cute.

Just when the little boy opened his lips slightly and was about to speak, a sudden sound of horseshoes sounded from behind, startling the drizzle, and even more startling the mood of Liu Bei and others.

Not long after, a group of more than a dozen well-dressed men riding tall horses appeared at the foot of the mountain.

All of these people had solemn faces, their eyes were piercing and cold, and none of them held an umbrella, but they formed a stark contrast with Liu Bei and his party.

"I would like to ask this boy to inform your master that King Wuji of the Wuji Dynasty has a letter written by himself!"

When Liu Bei and others heard the words, their complexions changed drastically, and the clanging sound of the weapon being pulled out of the sheath became even more instant.

The drizzle was still falling heavily, beating the body of the sword drop by drop, making a bloody and cold sound.

Although Liu Bei never turned his head to look at those people, deep in his eyes was deep fear and resentment.

Feng Wuji, you deceive people too much!
The boy seemed to have been caught off guard by this sudden scene, and after being stunned for a long while, hesitation appeared on his face.

However, after a few breaths, it seemed that he had received some instructions, but the boy's expression suddenly relaxed, and he said in a crisp voice:

"My master has invited Taishou Liu and this messenger from the Wuji Army to climb the mountain. As for the others, please wait here."

Hearing that the man even invited people from the Promise Army, Liu Bei's heart sank, and a gloomy look flashed in his eyes.

However, he is not an ordinary person after all, so he quickly adjusted his mood, bowed to the little boy with a pleasant salute and said:

"Thank you, master of your family, for inviting me. I'm sorry."

The little boy was very sensible, he hastily passed Liu Bei's salute, and smiled, obviously very happy with Liu Bei's actions.

But when he saw the Promise Army envoy who had dismounted but still had a stern face and did not move at all, he couldn't help wrinkling his nose and snorting softly, then turned around and led the two of them towards the stone staircase.

Noticing this scene, Liu Bei couldn't help but twitch a faint smile...

Halfway up the mountain, in a thatched house facing south.

After seeing the ceremony and taking their seats, Liu Bei quietly looked at the eyes of the chief seat, but there was a slight strangeness in their eyes naturally.

The man was dressed in loose plain clothes, his long hair was neatly draped over his back, and a silk scarf was neatly tied on top of his head.

He was holding a goose feather fan in his hand, and he was flapping it uninterruptedly. In this rainy environment, it looked a little different.

His figure is considered to be upper-middle-class, and his facial features are average, but his pair of eyes are extremely deep, and there seems to be radiance constantly bursting out of them, making him appear very unpredictable.

"I've heard many rumors about my husband, but I regret not being able to meet them.

Today, I was finally lucky enough to see the splendid face of the sun in person, and I was very happy in my heart! "

He looked at Zhuge Liang quietly in the dark, but Liu Bei never showed the slightest disrespect on his face, he bowed slightly and clasped his fists in praise very respectfully.

After the scandal of his ancestors was exposed by Feng Wuji in Luoyang Urn City that day, Liu Bei no longer dared to keep mentioning the words related to "after King Jing of Zhongshan".

Because this matter has spread quickly in the market, at this time he Liu Bei has been ridiculed because of this matter, and has become a source of jokes for countless people after dinner...

Zhuge Liang smiled lightly, shook his head lightly and said:
"My lord Taishou praised it absurdly, the bright and elegant appearance, but the darkness of the loess, how can I deserve such praise from my lord the prefect.

In fact, the prefect has visited six times before, and Liang knows all of them.

However, in the midst of deep self-cultivation, I couldn't get out to meet the prefect, so I had to do it as a last resort, and I hope the prefect will not be offended. "

Liu Bei hurriedly waved his hands when he heard the words and said with a cheerful smile:

"The person Bei respects the most in his life is the one who works tirelessly and has sincere obsessions. If you are so strict with yourself, how dare Bei be dissatisfied?"

"That's good."

Zhuge Liang smiled gently, then suddenly sighed with solemn expression:
"As for the purpose of the prefect's visit, Liang has already guessed a little bit.

There were many changes in the dynasty, the common people suffered from wars, and the abandoned corpses could be as high as Mount Tai, and the displaced people were even more numerous.

Such endless calamities, if you get to the bottom of it, it's just that the master is not wise and the ministers are not right.

Therefore, it is easy to end this catastrophic world, but the world is met with the help of a wise lord and virtuous ministers.

There are countless heroes in the dynasty, but there are only a few people who have the potential to become the wise master.

From Yu Liang's perspective, it should be Wang Wuji, Feng Wuji, General Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Sun Jian, and Liu Taishou.

Among them, Wuji Wang Feng Wuji has the greatest potential. "

Hearing this, Liu Bei's expression couldn't help changing, and his hands under the sleeves were clenched even more unconsciously.

However, Zhuge Liang's subsequent words made Liu Bei's expression suddenly relaxed, and joy burst into his eyes.

"However, Feng Wuji was born from a foreigner after all, just like that rootless duckweed, even if he swims in the infinite sea, he still has no roots to root.

General Cao Cao's words are rebellious and suspicious, and he has the habit of being self-willed. It is easy to dominate a party, but it is difficult to aspire to the dynasty;
As for Sun Jian and Sun Taishou, his character is bold and free, and he values ​​love and righteousness, and has a clear distinction between grievances and grievances.

However, such a temperament can be regarded as a good general, but it cannot be the leader of a dynasty.

Although emphasizing love and righteousness can be called a good thing, but in terms of the emperor, it is no different from a glass of poisoned wine.

As for you, the prefect, first of all, you are from the orthodox Liu family, and it is easier to get the support and love of the people;

Secondly, the prefect's reputation for benevolence is widely spread, especially among the gentry groups.

If the situation is favorable, the prefect will definitely get the support and dedication of many people in the gentry.

Furthermore, Lord Taishou has a sincere and sincere temperament, he is humble, courteous and virtuous, and especially knows how to know people and make good use of them.

If there is a talented and fierce general by his side, the prefect will surely be able to turn back the dynasty's decline, save the people from the dire straits, and spread grace to the vast land! "

Zhuge Liang's words were loud and loud, and the meaning revealed in the words and the expression on his face showed his meaning very clearly.

Liu Bei was ecstatic in his heart, he didn't expect Zhuge Liang to show that he wanted to serve under his command without having to waste his time talking.

Such a situation really made Liu Bei overjoyed and really happy in his heart.

Taking a sidelong glance at the messenger of the Promise Army who sat silently across the way without making any noise, the complacency in Liu Bei's eyes became even more intense...
