After two days of contact, Wei Chen can see that Kong Ming is indeed a genius in the world, although he is not very old, he has a deep understanding of the situation in the world and the forces of various princes, and has unique insights and hits the nail on the head. However, Weichen really couldn't understand that if the lord wanted to take him for his own use, he could directly recruit him, so why bother to accompany him up the mountain to find a place to live in seclusion? Isn't it a contradiction to recruit him and let him study in seclusion 、、、 want to recruit him? Guo Jia's words have been hidden in his heart for two whole days, and at this moment, he finally couldn't help but spit it out and said it bluntly.

Yang Lin smiled indifferently, and was not in a hurry to answer Guo Jia's question, so he looked down at the newly grown thatch sprouts by the rock, breaking through the soil like needles, verdant and verdant, very gratifying.

Shaoqing, casually playing with the tender buds, he said softly thoughtfully: "Feng Xiao thinks that Kong Ming is a person who is succumbing lightly?" ”

"Well, this 、、、" Guo Jia was stunned when he heard this, thought for a moment, and nodded as if he had understood: "Weichen understands." Although we have only been with him for two days, it is not difficult to see from his demeanor and conversation and the strong self-confidence that he inadvertently exudes, he is a tenacious person, gentle and elegant on the outside, but in fact soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and unyielding. If he is forcibly coerced, it will only backfire; Not only could he not take it for his own use, but it prompted him to become hostile, deviate from morality, and gradually drift away, and finally completely stand on the opposite side of our and make enemies of our Xiliang army. ”

Yang Lin 、、、Well, to be precise, it should be Li Li."

Yang Lin is just the pseudonym of his infiltration into Wancheng this time, just like the pseudonym Li Zhengfeng when he traveled north and south of the river two years ago. It's purely a cover-up. It's just that the name Li Zhengfeng has been used once, but this time it can't be used again, so he has to choose a new name. And it can't be reminiscent of Xiliang Li Li, and there can't be a trace of it. And because he has a Xiliang accent, he can only lie that he is a Hongnong person, next to Chang'an, so that he can cover up the past and not make people suspicious.

As it turned out, Li Li was successful in his disguise this time. So much so that Kong Ming, who was so wise and almost demonic, was deceived by him, and he didn't connect him with Xiliang Li Li at all when they first met. However, he could only deceive Kong Ming for a while. At the moment when the group met outside the city, as more than a hundred sturdy and fierce servants appeared in front of Kong Ming, and each of them was holding a high-grade Xiliang war horse, Li Li's true identity was revealed. But. It's amazing. Kong Ming was only stunned for a moment, and then his expression was calm, ignoring it, and talking and laughing with Li Li and Guo Jia as always, as if he was unaware of Li Li's identity, without the slightest restraint or far-fetchedness.

The only difference is that along the way, whenever you encounter running errands and asking for directions. Kong Ming will take the initiative to do it before Li Li, and then don't let Li Li do it himself. It's like at this moment he personally took Hu to look for drinking water. Originally, he could not have gotten to go at all, and there were more than 100 servants around him, so where could he go in person, but he insisted on doing it himself, and Li Li had no choice but to follow his wishes and not say more.

It is not difficult to see from this that Kong Ming already knows the true identities of Li Li, Guo Jia and others, but he does not break it, he still maintains the original state, there is no difference between respect and inferiority between each other, they treat each other equally, and the atmosphere is very harmonious.

However, Guo Jia is also a person, and his intelligence is comparable to that of Kong Ming, who is only sixteen years old at the moment. Therefore, the moment Kong Ming found out Li Li's true identity, Guo Jia immediately noticed his abnormal look, so that he knew that the identity of his group had been exposed, and there was no need to continue to hide it. However, if Li Li himself doesn't say it, how can he, as a subordinate, be good at advocating and talking too much?

After two days, the identity of the group has not been clarified, and they pretend to be confused with each other and maintain the status quo. Judging from the current situation, Kong Ming obviously didn't plan to ask, and in the end, Li Li could only take the initiative to reveal his identity.

At this moment, seeing that Guo Jia already understood his thoughts, Li Li smiled and said: "Feng Xiao's mind is quick, and he sees it very thoroughly in one sentence. However, until this moment, Feng Xiao probably doesn't know Kong Ming's real name and origin, right? ”

"Exactly." Guo Jia nodded in response and said frankly: "Wechen has always been suspicious of this, but it is inconvenient to ask rashly, and I also ask the lord to teach him. ”

Li Li turned his head to look at the mountain col in the west, and saw that Kong Ming was fetching water by the stream, so he said with a smile on his face: "When we first met, Kong Ming claimed to be a person from Yangdu, but there are not a few towns called 'Yangdu' in all the states in the world, even if there are not ten, there are eight, so Feng Xiao can't judge where the Yangdu he is talking about." In fact, the Yangdu that Kong Ming said is in Langya County, and Kong Ming is just his name, not his real name, because he is not surnamed Kong at all, but has the surname Zhuge and his name is Liang, and his full name is Zhuge Liang, and the word Kong Ming.

Kong Ming's parents died early, and he was like me, and he grew up with his uncle, and Nanyang Taishou Zhuge Xuan was his uncle. The three of them are brothers, and there are two sisters in the boudoir, their eldest brother Zhuge Jin is a housekeeper, quite famous, and he has not yet become a leader, and he is currently learning to deal with government affairs with Zhuge Xuan.

Now Feng Xiao should know Kong Ming's life history. The Langya Zhuge family can be called the family of the eunuchs, his grandfather once served as the captain of the school, and his father was the county of Taishan. A few years ago, in order to avoid the scourge of war, Zhuge Xuan took Kong Ming's brothers and sisters to move their family to Jingzhou for refuge, and has been living under Liu Biao's account. Fortunately, Zhuge Xuan is also a contemporary celebrity, and he has some contacts with the Jingzhou scholars, but after all, he is under the fence and has never been able to integrate into the Jingzhou family. ”

Speaking of this, Li Li's tone was stunned, the smile on his face gradually receded, and he said in a low voice: "It is said that Jingzhou Don't drive Kuai Yue once wanted to marry Kong Ming's sister to Kuai Qi as a concubine, and Zhuge Xuan was so angry that he fell seriously ill. The matter was immediately shelved, and for this reason, Zhuge Xuan lived in Jingzhou for many years but never came out, and it was the Kuai brothers who got in the way.

Two years ago, Liu Biao recommended Zhuge Xuan as Yuzhang Taishou, and the edict was passed to Zhuge Xuan, but due to the war in Yangzhou, the trip was delayed and he did not go to the post. Coincidentally, at that time, I just promised Sun Ce to serve as the leader of Jiangdong, so I recovered Zhuge Xuan's edict and reappointed Sun Ce as Yuzhang Taishou.

It wasn't until April last year, when all the princes entered Beijing to pay tribute, that I noticed that Langya Zhuge Xuan was still in Jingzhou, and was recommended by Liu Biao as the Taishou of Nanyang. Subsequently, Zhuge Xuan was the first among the princes to receive the edict, but the gap between me and the Zhuge family had already been planted. Let Zhuge Xuan be idle for more than a year, if he is replaced by other scholars, it may not have much impact, but it is a heavy blow to the Zhuge family who have been under the fence for several years, and it will directly affect their family's livelihood. Because of this, for Kong Ming, it is difficult to say whether he and I are friends or foes, and how to choose depends on how he views this matter.

But in this matter, I Li Li has a clear conscience. Perhaps, it was because I withdrew the appointment of Zhuge Xuanyu Zhang Taishou that I indirectly helped the Zhuge family. Otherwise, the Jiangdong scholars have always been xenophobic, Zhuge Xuan has no foundation in Jiangdong, he can't gain a foothold at all, and he will die in a foreign country sooner or later; And Kong Ming's family will also go into exile, perhaps only by letting his sister marry Kuai Yue's younger brother as a concubine can save the fate of the family. ”

Li Li felt these words, because the fate of the Zhuge family in history was like this. Less than half a year after Zhuge Xuan took office as Yuzhang Taishou, the imperial court changed Zhu Hao, a son of the Jiangdong family, to serve as Yuzhang Taishou, and forcibly ousted Zhuge Xuan from power, forcing him to return to Jingzhou with his family again. On the way back to Jingzhou, Zhuge Xuan died of illness, causing the Zhuge family to lose its pillars and completely become a declining family under the fence. As a last resort, Zhuge Liang's sister had to marry Kuai Yue's younger brother Kuai Qi as a concubine.

(The official history records that Zhuge Liang's sister married Kuai Qi as his wife, but she can't stand scrutiny, after all, the Kuai family is a Jingzhou wang family, and the Zhuge family in the middle of the family is not the right household, and it is unlikely that it will be a main room.) However, the history books were revised by later dynasties, and Zhuge Liang was regarded as "the wise saint, the good face of the ages", and was the loyal representative of all the feudal dynasties in later generations. In this way, Zhuge Liang is undoubtedly extremely perfect, and his related immediate family members will naturally not be too bad, otherwise how to show his perfect image and how to inspire latecomers to "do their best and die". ）

"It turns out that we still have this relationship with Kong Ming." After listening to Kong Ming's life experience, Guo Jia was quite surprised, because he didn't know anything about it, he only knew the Langya Zhuge family, but he didn't know that the Zhuge family behind Kong Ming still had such a difficult and tortuous journey.

However, judging from Kong Ming's proficient agricultural affairs and simple clothing, although he is a scholar, he is no different from the common people in cloth. It is not difficult to see from this that the previous situation of the Zhuge family was indeed not optimistic, and it must have experienced a lot of hardships. But this qiē has passed, and now Zhuge Xuan is the Taishou of Nanyang, even if the Wancheng incident makes Liu Biao very unhappy, but as long as Li Li is behind his back, Liu Biao will not dare to do anything to Zhuge Xuan. In other words, the Xiliang Army can completely capture Nanyang County, so the Zhuge family will be completely safe, and the revitalization of the family is just around the corner.

However, this qiē depends on how Zhuge Liang chooses, and he follows the trend, and it is natural and logical; If Li Li's good intentions are wasted, the result will be unimaginable. Once Li Li gets angry, it is easy to destroy the entire Zhuge family, and even without Li Li doing it himself, with a little pressure, Liu Biao can do it for him.

In a hurry, Guo Jia asked softly: "The lord knows Kong Ming's family background very well, which shows how much the lord values him. In this case, why did the lord personally build him a retreat? ”

Li Li said: "The so-called peach is reciprocated by the peach." I treat him with sincerity, as a brother and brother; Since he wanted to devote himself to studying and excelling, I would fulfill him and build him a courtyard in the deep mountains and old forests. When he finishes his studies, he will naturally know what to do; Otherwise, the annex will become a mausoleum where the talents of heaven and earth are buried. However, when he said this sentence in a cold tone, a strong sense of reluctance appeared on Li Li's face, and it was obvious that this last sentence was not his original intention, but was forced to do it.
