The Three Kingdoms Voyage

Chapter 87 Arrogant Fazheng

Zhang Cheng propped his head on one hand, swayed with the carriage, his eyes looked ahead, and he didn't say a word.Sun Shao was lying in the car, breathing steadily and looking calm.

"Fengxian." Zhang Cheng called softly.

"En." Sun Shao responded softly.

"Are you really going to live like this for the rest of your life?" Zhang Cheng straightened up, turned his head, and stared at Sun Shao's eyes without blinking.Sun Shao's eyelids trembled, and he slowly opened his eyes, looking at Zhang Cheng, with a smile on his lips: "Brother Zhong Si, what are you worried about?"

The corners of Zhang Cheng's eyes twitched, he was really worried.He is proficient in rhythm. Although he drank too much wine last night, when he heard Sun Shao's flute music, he recognized that it was "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix" with a key change, and he felt a little more vigilant—fortunately, he I don't know that Sun Shao went over the wall to meet Guan Feng, otherwise he would be more than just vigilant.Originally, he was very grateful to Sun Shao for recommending him to serve as an envoy, but now it seems that something is not right along the way.Sun Shao made such a fuss in front of Guan Yu's prefect's mansion, it seems that he didn't do it at random, he came prepared.If this is the case, then it would not be that simple for him to pass Ge Xuan's sitting and forgetting technique to Lu Su.

It is very dangerous to befriend such a heavy general like Lu Su as Sun Shao. Now that Sun Shao still wants to marry Guan Yu, it is even more punishing. He Zhang Cheng is not willing to get involved in this troubled water.It's a pity not to be an official, but following Sun Shao's rebellion and throwing the whole family's life into it, the price is too high.At least in his opinion, Sun Shao has no chance at all.

"Fengxian, I have something to say, and I want to hear from you." Zhang Cheng said very carefully.

"Tell me." Sun Shao nodded casually.

"Are you interested in Guan Feng?"

"En." Sun Shao nodded calmly without any concealment.

Zhang Cheng narrowed his eyes, glared at Sun Shao angrily, and said in a very unpleasant tone, "When did you have such thoughts?"

"Yesterday." Sun Shao didn't blush, his heart didn't beat, and he couldn't see any hypocrisy. "I heard my aunt talk about her before, but I don't believe there is such a woman in this world. When I saw her yesterday, I believed her, so my heart was moved." He sat up, straightened his clothes, and then turned his head to look at her. Looking at Zhang Cheng, he asked back, "Is there any question?"

Zhang Cheng was a little confused as to whether Sun Shao was real or not. Judging from his expression, he didn't seem to be lying. Although a big man pays attention to etiquette, it is not uncommon for a man and a woman to fall in love at first sight.Sun Shao and Guan Feng are about the same age, and they are both civil and military talents. It is said that they are more suitable for Guan Feng than Sun Deng. From the way Guan Yu looked at Sun Shao just now, it can be seen that Guan Yu, who has always had his eyes above his head, is right. Sun Shao also expressed some appreciation.Zhang Cheng thought about it for a long time, and felt that if he really wanted the alliance between Sun and Liu, it might be more likely that Sun Shao and Guan Feng would get married.

"Fengxian, I don't object to the matter between you and Guan Feng. On the contrary, I think it may be a good thing for Jiang Dong." Zhang Cheng said carefully, "However, I want to remind you that this matter has something to do with it." Not to mention what the Supreme will think, even if the Supreme agrees, the price you have to pay is not small."

Sun Shao didn't answer him, but scratched the end of his hair, leaned against the wall of the car, looked at the desolate vegetation outside through the window, and after a while, he said calmly: "Isn't it just that you don't want to lead troops? Even if I don't marry Guan Feng, I won't be able to lead soldiers." He turned around again and said absent-mindedly, "Brother Zhong Si, you can report whatever you want, there is no need to hide it anyway. I At this age, it's normal to like a woman, as for the final result, it's out of my consideration."

Zhang Cheng smiled wryly and shook his head again and again. He felt that Sun Shao was quite pitiful. He was obviously good at it, but he had no room to display it. He had to guard against being suspected by others. At this age, Sun Quan, an uncle, did not arrange marriage for him. , Now I have my eyes on someone, but it happens to be the daughter of a heavy ally, it seems so impossible.

"Fengxian." Zhang Cheng slowed down and tried to persuade him: "I just want to remind you that Guan Yu's identity is very sensitive. If you marry Guan Feng, not only the Supreme will guard against you, but even if the Supreme does not guard against you, other people will also guard against you." You have to remind the Supreme. You really have no place to get ahead."

Sun Shao turned his head and looked at Zhang Cheng. He didn't seem to believe his words. After a while, he suddenly smiled: "Then you are wrong. I didn't think about getting ahead. I just wanted to be safe and sound." If you want to be my royal family, if the Supreme can aspire to the world, I might be able to win a throne, neither hard work nor desperate, so why not do it?"

Zhang Cheng was stunned. He couldn't believe Sun Shao's words. Could it be that Sun Shao used this to show Sun Quan that he really had no ambitions and really wanted to be a happy man?He didn't dare to make this judgment, and of course he didn't dare to report it to Sun Quan immediately. After all, this was only Sun Shao's unilateral idea. It is still unknown what Guan Yu thinks. There are too many relationships involved in this marriage, and it is too early to draw conclusions. .

However, if Sun Shao's words are true, then there is no danger for him to associate with Sun Shao.On the contrary, because Sun Shao doesn't need credit, then all the credit belongs to him, and Sun Shao just contributed for nothing.According to this, it also makes sense for Sun Shao to give Lu Su the Zuo Wang Shu through his hands.

I hope so.

The next dozen or so days of the journey were as peaceful as ever, neither Zhang Cheng nor Sun Shao mentioned that matter anymore, they just talked about gossip besides discussing Zuo Chuan Chunqiu.Sun Shao still worked so hard, with the attitude of wanting to be a doctor of Chunqiu, asking for help from Zhang Cheng every day.In addition, he asked Zhang Cheng for advice on Han Shu, and Zhang Cheng was happy to have an audience, so he gave a lecture to Sun Shao in his free time.

In early December, they arrived in Chengdu.

Like Jianye, the atmosphere in Chengdu is very tense. There are heavily armed soldiers everywhere, and the people pass by in a hurry. Even if they stop to speak, they only say a few words. Zhang Cheng and Sun Shao glanced at each other, secretly happy in their hearts.This shows that the war in Berkshire is tight, Liu Bei is a little bit burnt out, and the possibility of success in proposing marriage is greatly increased.

According to Lu Su's instructions, Zhang Cheng and Sun Shao went to visit Fazheng first with generous gifts.

Fazheng is of medium build, with a thin face, two slender eyes, his eyebrows are always trembling when he looks at people, and the deep and long grooves on both sides of his nose make his whole face look very arrogant.Standing on the steps, he looked down at Zhang Cheng and Sun Shao, and the corner of his mouth twitched: "It turns out that he is the son of Zhang Zhao from Pengcheng. He really is a good-looking man."

Standing behind Zhang Cheng, Sun Shao obviously felt that Zhang Cheng's body froze for a moment, and then relaxed again.Zhang Chenglang said with a smile: "Cheng has a skin and has some false fame. How can he compare with the general. The general assisted the left general and stabilized Yizhou. He was the mastermind inside and ruled the capital outside. His reputation spread far and wide, and he was powerful." In the world, Cheng Wangchen can't match it."

The corners of Fazheng's eyes twitched, showing a satisfied smile.He then looked at Sun Shao again, and smiled even more: "Lieutenant Sun is very skilled, he shouted in front of General Guan, and he was unscathed, which is unheard of."

Sun Shao smiled and said, "Shao is nothing more than the bravery of a common man. General Guan has the intention of caring for the younger generation, so he doesn't take it too far. Therefore, if Shao has such a false name, how can he get into the eyes of the general."

Fazheng laughed twice, turned around and went into the lobby to sit down. Then he waved his hand and signaled Zhang Cheng and Sun Shao to take their seats. He was silent for a moment, then glanced at Zhang Cheng again: "Your reason for coming, General Guan has sent Someone informed the lord. To be honest, your idea...haha...a bit lame."

Zhang Cheng couldn't hold back anymore.I only knew that Fazheng was arrogant, but I didn't expect Fazheng to be so arrogant, saying Jiangdong's idea in front of his face, it was as uncomfortable as slapping him in the face.But he remained calm and bowed to salute: "I also ask the general for advice."

Fazheng saw that Zhang Cheng was still respectful and very helpful, and his tone eased a lot.As he fiddled with the letter on the case, he said: "Jiangdong wants to reconcile with me, Yizhou. , is an important general outside, even if the lord trusts him, how can he not avoid suspicion? If you marry him, if he does not refuse, it will be a strange thing."

Zhang Cheng quickly explained: "The general pointed out that I, Jiangdong, was negligent. However, my general is willing to reconcile with General Zuo, but it is sincere. I heard that General Zuo has the trust of General Zuo and obeys his words. Please also see General Zuo." For the sake of the communist Yasukuni, please speak kindly to facilitate this matter."

Fazheng glanced at the generous gift list on the case, and said proudly: "Don't worry about this. Although Fazheng is not talented, he still understands the general situation. Although there are differences between Liu and Sun, as allies, we should seek common ground while reserving differences. Let's discuss a big plan together. I will go to the mansion to see General Zuo right away, and you just wait to be summoned."

"Thank you, General."
