Chapter 139: Zhuge Licheng
Zhuge Hou was destined to be unable to see the passion in the Xuanzheng Hall of Qian State.
After Sun Yixiao left, Zhuge Hou carefully packed up the tea set and put it in his backpack, and then walked step by step towards Fengming City Gate.
There were countless pedestrians on the street, but this lonely figure seemed so lonely. He was like a candle in the wind, which would be extinguished with a slight touch.
Outside the city gate, a carriage had been waiting for a long time. The person driving was a dark man in his forties. He looked honest and honest, like a genuine farmer.
Seeing Zhuge Hou, the man hurriedly ran to Zhuge Hou and gently supported the latter's arm: "Sir, have everything done?"
Looking at the man's actions, Zhuge Hou's eyes flashed with dissatisfaction, and he glanced at the man with a blank look: "I can still walk, so I don't need you to support me."
"Hey!" The man responded obediently, let go of his arm, and pulled a small position to follow Zhuge Hou.
The sun shone brightly in the sky. Zhuge Hou raised his head and subconsciously blocked the dazzling sunshine with his hands, saying, "Zhang Fei, we should go back to Dongfeng City. Do you think the new general of Xia Kingdom arrived earlier, or should we arrive earlier?"
The general before the Xia Kingdom was Li Gan. After Li Gan died, Zhou Ruchun, who was also one of the six famous generals in the world, took over Li Gan's position. Later, Qian Kingdom suddenly sent troops to Dongfeng City, Xia Kingdom. In desperation, Xia Emperor Zhang Yiyun dispatched Zhou Ruchun as a general and Zhuge Hou as a military advisor, rushed to Dongfeng and took back the lost territory.
But it is a pity that as the two men who commanded the three armies, one of them appeared in Thunder City and was burned to pieces by Li Luo. The other came to Fengming City, the hinterland of Qian Kingdom.
The man named Zhang Fei scratched his head with a simple face and said, "Sir, I don't know that I'm stupid. I can't calculate the matter of this journey."
Zhuge Hou finally showed a smile and nodded, "You are stupid, you are stupid, you are stupid. It's like some self-righteous people who will be smart will inevitably be mistaken for their cleverness in the future."
As Zhuge Hou’s groom, Zhang Feiyi couldn’t understand what his master said. Fortunately, he was used to it, so he just grinned and giggled.
Zhuge Hou suddenly said, "I said, I want to arrive in Dongfeng City before Zhou Ruchun, can you do it?"
When Zhang Fei, who had been foolish and stupid, heard this, he felt as if he was awakened by some mysterious force. He straightened his body and said loudly: "Sir, don't worry, I will keep going to Dongfeng City as quickly as possible."
Stepping onto the carriage, Zhuge Hou took a last look at Fengming City, which was bustling and lively in front of him, and shouted: "Let's go!"
The sun sets westward, and the carriage pulls out a long shadow under the sun's light, and slowly disappears outside Fengming City with the smoke and dust brought by the wheels and horse hooves.
Xiaotianji Zhuge Hou left Fengming City on the day of the wedding banquet in Qian Kingdom.
...
At this time, a new round of "competition" has just begun in the Qian State Xuanzheng Hall.
In order to obtain the help of Emperor Guizhou, all kings and princes racked their brains and threw out one outrageous condition after another. At this time, the bride banquet was obviously a battlefield without gunpowder.
However, Li Luo, Xiao Chen and Leng Changfeng, who had no desire to compete, were extremely comfortable. They had a cup of tea and had a great time talking, as if they really regarded this bride banquet as a banquet.
After drinking two glasses of wine, Xiao Chen, who was filled with wine, couldn't help but ask Li Luo: "The Emperor of Qian asked us about our relationship before, why did you tell us that we were allies?"
In his opinion, the alliance between two kings and princes from foreign countries is not something that can be said casually, and it will cause considerable turmoil in the two countries.
Li Luo said with a look of deeds: "Am I wrong?"
Xiao Chen sighed and said, "Of course, I just don't understand why I have to say it."
Li Luo picked up the wine glass and drank it himself, smiling without saying a word.
Looking at the mysterious Li Luo, Xiao Chen looked confused. Are these capable people always saying half of the words and left half of the words?
However, Leng Changfeng, who was standing beside him, couldn't stand it anymore and explained with a smile: "Of course, it's for the Emperor of Qian, and the people present can listen."
"Although the alliance between two foreign princes will have a significant impact, Prince Xiao, you think, the Wei State is in a turmoil now, does the emperor of Wei State still have the energy to take care of you?"
Xiao Chen shook his head. Cao Xun's situation is now that the clay Buddha crosses the river, and he cannot protect himself. Even if Cao Xun has the opportunity to escape from Bai Qi's control in the future, then the person Cao Xun will be Bai Qi in the future. How can he have the time to deal with this little king on his border?
Leng Changfeng continued with a smile: "Let's talk about our Prince Li. Prince Li made great contributions in Huainan, but refused to return to the court. Instead, he asked the court for the title of King Huainan and seized the three states of Huainan and southern borders of Xia. Perhaps because he was worried that Prince Li would surrender to our Wu Kingdom, Emperor Xia had no choice but to endure this tone."
"But later, Zhou Ruchun's army was sent to encircle and suppress Prince Li in Thunder City. Think about it, what is Prince Li in the heart of Emperor Xia?"
Xiao Chen blurted out and said, "Rebel!"
"Yes!" Leng Changfeng laughed and said, "So look, you are an unrestrained border prince, and you are an alliance with another anti-thief prince. Which one of the Wei and Xia kingdoms can you do the trick?"
Xiao Chen seemed to be thinking, and after Leng Changfeng mentioned it, he seemed to understand a little.
Leng Changfeng continued: "On the contrary, the alliance between you two will shock the people of the world. After all, not many people are willing to offend two princes holding heavy troops at once. With this shock, you will be safer and more scrupulous."
Xiao Chen finally realized that Li Luo’s thoughts were really deep.
Xiao Chen, who came back to his senses, raised his glass of wine helplessly and toasted the two of them and said, "It was only when I was with you that I was right that those people said I was right. I am just a useless playboy."
Li Luo responded and smiled meaningfully, "So what about the playboy? How many people in the world cry and shout that they want to be a playboy but fail?"
The three of them laughed and drank a drink together.
The sound in the hall gradually calmed down. The trump cards and conditions that the princes and princes should throw were placed in front of Shangguan Wan one by one. Now the only choice that was waiting for was Shangguan Wan.
Looking at Shangguan Wan who was thinking about the throne, Xiao Chen asked in a low voice: "You guys say, who will His Majesty Emperor Qian choose as the prince consort?"
Li Luo smiled and murmured, "Wait, but it ends up coming out."
On the throne, Shangguan Wan looked at the princes under the hall, with a decisive look on her face, and her palm pressed down to signal everyone to be quiet, Shangguan Wan slowly stood up and said aloud:
"Thank you for coming from thousands of miles for the emperor. After many considerations, I decided to choose..."
Everyone stretched their necks, waiting for Shangguan Wan's final answer.
