【Chapter 921】 Qing Pingle is in the ascendant
Zhuge Lu in Longzhong, two days passed quietly......
The mountains are majestic, the streams are graceful, and a bridge corridor spans the waterhole, which is pleasant and tranquil.
Zhuge Ling recuperated in Li Li's room for two days, and who didn't know about the dozen or so people in the village, Kong Ming naturally knew it.
Except for the first day when he saw Li Li, Kong Ming snorted coldly with a gloomy face, and since then, he has been the same, as if nothing had happened, talking and laughing with Guo Jia, and he is still chic.
In the afternoon of the same day, Zhuge Ling called Kong Ming into the room, and the sister and brother whispered for a long time, not knowing what to say. Afterwards, Kong Ming respectfully called Li Li "brother-in-law", and then nagged to go up the mountain to hunt some game in person, and his sister was too weak. The implication was about to come out, so Li Li took Li Zhi, Xu Chu, Chen Zhi and others to dig into the forest in the evening, and did not come back until dawn. The harvest was quite rich, and more than ten people who went up the mountain together returned with a full load, and the game caught was enough for twenty or thirty people to eat for three months.
At this point, Kong Ming has stopped, and every time he sees Li Li, he always greets him with a smile and no longer cares. Li Li is also very strange, he didn't shirk or explain after breaking his trust with Kong Ming, and when he saw Kong Ming, he smiled and greeted people, but he didn't say a word, he was silent, and he should have tacitly tacitly broken his promise.
Two days later, Zhuge Ling's health recovered as usual, and the trip, which had been postponed for three days, was brought up again. Rest for the night and set off early the next morning.
Towards the end of the evening, the sunset is scattered on the waterhole, sparkling and the scenery is pleasant.
There is a water pavilion in front of the stone steps of the east wing, which is built near the water, and half of it is suspended in the air. At this time, Kong Ming was leisurely stroking the qin in the pavilion. A long river chant is waved from between the fingers, in one go, relaxed and cheerful. It's a pleasure to listen to, and the mind is suddenly open-minded.
"Knock, ding!"
As the last note fell, Li Li walked over slowly with a pot of fragrant tea, sat down, poured two cups of hot tea, and raised his hand to signal Kong Ming to drink together.
Gently putting down the teacup, Li Li said with a smile: "Kong Ming is angry? Say a thousand things and ten thousand. This matter is all because of my brother, and I have lost my trust in my virtuous brother. ”
Kong Ming shook his head slightly, and said with a smile: "Brother Lao goes up the mountain to hunt at night. It's hard work, the younger brother toasts the elder brother with tea instead of wine. He picked up the teacup and drank it all, and Li Li raised his glass and followed.
Putting down the teacup, the smile on Kong Ming's face quickly receded. Instead, there was a stern and serious look. After a little thought. looked at Li Li with a solemn face, and said frankly: "Brother and Liang met by chance, but they fell in love, and they were like friends for a long time. For more than 20 days, my brother spent a lot of money without frowning, and his body was walking around, and he personally built this grass house for his foolish brother. It shows the sincerity of the elder brother to the foolish brother. Let's ask who among the more than ten princes in the world can do it and is willing to be as courteous as his brother and treat him like a brother. I'm afraid it's unique. For this reason, thanks to his brother's appreciation, the foolish brother was willing to follow his brother to the death. After saying that, Kong Ming got up and bowed, and Li Li hurriedly got up to help him.
"Brother Xian's words are serious. There is no need for such courtesy between you and my brothers, and we must not do such a great gift in the future. Li Li helped Kong Ming up with a smile and said with a smile.
After sitting down, Kong Ming said: "The courtesy of the lord and the minister cannot be abolished, and there is a difference between respect and inferiority. Although the elder brother is generous and informal, the foolish brother is a minister and should obey the etiquette. However, the foolish brother has not yet reached the crown, so please let my brother allow me some time, at most two years, and then go to serve under my brother when the foolish brother completes his studies. ”
Li Li was pleased and said with a smile: "It should be so." The virtuous brother is gifted and intelligent, and his wisdom is outstanding, but it is better to read thousands of books than to travel thousands of miles. Two years ago, Brother Yu traveled north and south of the river, and his purpose was this. ”
"What my brother said is very true." Kong Ming nodded in response, and after a slight pause, the conversation changed sharply, and the old matter was brought up again, and he said with a solemn expression: "Now, my brother and sister have finally come together, and in the meantime, the foolish brother has blocked it in many ways, it really shouldn't be, and I hope that my brother will be rude and look at Haihan." ”
Speaking of this, without waiting for Li Li to answer, Kong Mingzhen signaled that he knew in his heart, and then said: "The reason why the foolish brother obstructed this matter is that the elder brother must also know the reason. There are five brothers and sisters in my Zhuge family, my parents died early, and I have been displaced by my uncle for many years, all relying on my eldest sister to take care of the housework, and the livelihood of Zhang Luo's family. Therefore, the foolish brother hopes that his sister can marry a good husband, and he can't wronged himself. However, the foolish brother was lonely, he had more than enough heart but not enough strength, he couldn't find a good family for his sister, and he was bullied by the Kuai clan, which made his sister suffer a lot of humiliation.
Originally, the foolish brother discussed privately with his uncle and brother, but his sister had reached the age of leaving the cabinet and could not delay any longer; If Kuai Qi is willing to marry his sister as the main family, he should go down to this family business and marry in the Kuai family in a dignified manner. Unexpectedly, my sister fell in love with my brother, but the foolish brother knew that my brother already had a family and had many wives and concubines 、、、. Therefore, the foolish brother will block it, worried that his sister will inevitably be wronged after entering the school. ”
Li Li was silent when he heard this, smiled, picked up the teapot again, and poured a cup of fragrant tea for Kong Ming.
Kong Ming thanked him and said frankly: "Don't hide it from my brother, my foolish brother has always thought that although my brother is a rare male lord in the world, he is not a good match for his husband. Now the elder brother has thirteen sisters-in-law, which is undoubtedly unique among the princes in the world. However, until now, the foolish brother knew that if he wanted to do something unhuman, he must have extraordinary human ability. That's the case with my brother. ”
Li Li was shocked when he heard this, and immediately his old face turned red, his cheeks were slightly hot, and he glanced at Kong Ming, and the brothers looked at each other and smiled. This smile instantly blew away the estrangement between the two, and the previous trivial matters disappeared.
Kong Ming's remark that "if you want to do extraordinary things, you must have extraordinary human abilities", which can be described as a pun. After Li Li and Zhuge Ling had a night of greed, Zhuge Ling could stay in bed for two days before she could stay, which is "extraordinary people do extraordinary things". It can be seen from this that it is not for nothing that Li Li has many wives and concubines, if he does not have extraordinary ability, wouldn't he be asking for hardship to marry so many wives and concubines? At the same time, Li Li is now 23 years old, but he has laid a huge foundation, and his soldiers are strong, and no one in the world dares to compete with him, which shows that he is really an extraordinary person.
A pun, the brother-in-law said this in front of his brother-in-law, and his words were witty and humorous. Kong Ming is also a wonderful. dared to say such things in front of Li Li, which shows that he and Li Li are close to each other, and completely regard Li Li as a brother who talks about everything.
Look at each other and smile. Kong Ming said: "As for the fact that my brother went up to the mountain to hunt the night before yesterday, it was indeed intentional for my younger brother. It is important to know that things that are too easy to obtain, the world often does not cherish them, and regards them as clothes and shoes, and they come and go as soon as they are called. However, the younger brother is a little overly worried, and the elder brother treats the elder sister very well, which is obvious to all. It is the younger brother who is jealous of the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. The foolish brother hereby solemnly apologizes, and hopes that the elder brother will not blame him. With a handshake, Kong Ming got cheap and behaved. made Li Li cry and laugh, but his heart was very happy. It seems that from this moment on, he found a common language with Kong Ming and completely eliminated the barrier. Crossing the boundaries of the times. Truly become a brother who talks about everything.
With a knowing smile on his face, at this moment Li Li no longer regarded Kong Ming as the "Wisdom Sage" Zhuge Wuhou in his memory, but his brother-in-law, a like-minded brother with a different surname.
At the same time, Li Li was very glad that he had met Kong Ming ten years in advance, and he had met him when he was in the ascendant. So as to get a brother who is very affectionate and honest with each other.
Ten years is crucial for a young man with amazing talents. Ten years ago. You may still be able to see the true side of his temperament, but after ten years, you can only see the other side of his calm, sagitty, wise and sophisticated, and you can look at any problem rationally, and it is very likely that you will not be able to spy on his true emotions for the rest of your life, and even wonder if he is born different, without the lively and romantic childlike fun of a normal person.
After the estrangement was eliminated, Li Li and Kong Ming had a very happy conversation, talking about everything from the south to the north, the past and the present.
"I want to capture Nanyang County in the near future, I don't know what the virtuous brother wants?" After some talking, Li Li asked with a smile.
Kong Ming's expression moved slightly, his eyes flashed with wisdom, and after thinking for a while, he shook his head lightly and said: "Yesterday, my uncle sent someone to send news that the Son of Heaven and the hundred officials have been picked up by Yuan Shao of Jizhou, and the army of the princes from all walks of life also left Wancheng two days ago. Now that the Son of Heaven is returning, I think that within a month, Yecheng will become the new imperial capital, reorganize the dynasty, and then Yuan Shao will coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes.
In the humble opinion of the younger brother, in the recent period, to be precise, it should be within the next one to two years, the elder brother should not march into the Central Plains in a big way, otherwise the princes of the Central Plains will be in danger, and they will inevitably join hands to fight the elder brother again. On the contrary, if the elder brother took advantage of Yuan Shao's preparations for the establishment of the imperial capital, he quickly recovered the entire territory of Sili with the momentum of thunder, and then reduced his forces and returned to Chang'an. Since then, Yuan Shao has inevitably relaxed his fears for his brother, so he has accelerated his pace to sweep away the surrounding princes' forces, recruited troops and horses, and accumulated strength, in order to compete with his brother as soon as possible. The elder brother can turn his attention to Yizhou in the southwest, capture Xichuan as much as possible, and occupy the country of Yizhou Tianfu. Once Yizhou is in hand, the army under the elder brother's command can be attacked, retreated and defended, and he sits in the granary of Yizhou, and is always invincible. This is the best policy, we must not take advantage of the moment, delay the favorable fighter, Yizhou is determined to win. ”
Li Li nodded approvingly, "Well, what the virtuous brother said is very true. To seek the matter of Yizhou, he has already begun to arrange for his brother to recover Hanzhong, and is now waiting for the opportunity; Once the fighter appeared, Wei Brother personally led a large army to attack Shu Road and recover Yizhou. ”
Kong Ming happily responded: "Brother is wise. After Yuan Shao held the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials hostage, the states of the world will be silent for a period of time, and the princes of all parties will face a new choice, which is not only an opportunity, but also a prelude to the next round of princes' melee. At this delicate juncture of the situation, the elder brother should not make too many enemies, especially not to have a dispute with Liu Biao in Jingzhou, otherwise when the elder brother attacks Yizhou, maybe Liu Biao will be involved. Such a trivial thing is not done by a wise man. Therefore, Nanyang County ignored it for the time being, and the foolish brother was willing to defend Nanyang for his brother, and when the time was ripe, the brother could take Nanyang lightly and open the door to Jingzhou in the south without spending a single soldier. ”
Li Li smiled and said, "That's very good." Wancheng Shili Xiang Wine Shop is the industry under the name of his brother, Jingzhou Cai Mao occupies 30% of the income, and then handed over to the virtuous brother to take over, and the wine shop has 200 samurai waiting for dispatch all year round. Last night, Chen Zhi took the initiative to ask Ying to stay to protect the safety of the virtuous brother, and then left fifty people for the virtuous brother to drive, so that nothing could be lost.
This time I returned to Luoyang, and I took your sister back with my brother, and then sent someone to your uncle's house. For the sake of the safety of the virtuous brother's family, this matter should not be publicized, and the wedding will be held in Luoyang a month later, and the brotherhood will send someone to take the uncle and Brother Ling to Luoyang. ”
"Brother is thoughtful, foolish brother thank you." Kong Ming bowed and bowed.
“??”
In the early morning of the next day, a group of more than 50 people rode horses out of Wollongong, facing the rising morning light and stepping on crystal clear dewdrops, galloping in the mountains and forests.
At noon, on the official road more than 50 miles away from Wancheng, the group met an army of 100,000 under the command of Liu Biao, and it was obvious that Liu Biao also led the army back to Xiangyang today. Li Li and his entourage stopped on the side of the road, watching the Jingzhou army walk in front of them, and when Liu Biao's car passed by, Li Li's eyes met Liu Biao who was looking out of the window. For a moment, Li Li smiled, Liu Biao smiled after a slight stunned expression, and then passed by.
This is the second meeting of the two princes, looking at each other and smiling, very friendly, and when the two meet again a few years later, it will be a life-and-death battle. If, Liu Biao, who was sitting in the car at this time, knew that this handsome descendant who had a two-sided relationship was Xiliang Li Li, I don't know how he felt and what he should do? It's a pity that many times there is only one opportunity, and if you miss it, you can never turn back.
