In Jingzhou, there is Atou Mountain twenty miles northwest of Xiangyang. Atou Mountain faces the Han River to the north and backs to Longzhong. According to Mr. Shui Jing, Mr. Wolong lived here in seclusion.
However, Liu Bei came to visit several times. Not to mention Wollongong, after passing Atou Mountain, he saw that the road was difficult to travel. He often spent a day searching in the mountains and came out of the mountains inexplicably.
"Brother, is Mr. Shui Jing lying?" Guan Yu rarely spoke since Zhang Fei's death. Now that he saw Liu Bei searching hard and finding nothing, he couldn't help but ask.
"It must be the art of Qimen." Liu Bei is also well-informed. Although he is not familiar with Qimen, he has discussed it with Chen Deng and Zhong Yao in the past. He still knows some of the mysteries of Qimen Dunjia. According to Shui
Mr. Jing said, looking at the world, there are less than ten people who can master Qimen Dunjia, and those who are beginners are not counted.
"Since we are a Qimen, the so-called Mr. Wolong should have known that my brother was coming to visit, but he refused to meet. It is obvious that he did not want to meet, so why did the brother force him?" Guan Yu was very dissatisfied with Mr. Wolong, who he had never met before. The two brothers came
This visit has occurred five times, and counting the time, it is almost two years.
"Let's look for it again." Liu Bei sighed. He really longed for the help of talented people. Although he had some friendship with Xu You recently, with Xu You's identity, it was obviously impossible to give him a place where he could only live in the small town of Xinye.
Even if the two of them talked happily, Xu You admired him very much.
Liu Bei now has neither power nor financial resources. If he wants to invite experts to help him, he can only invite them sincerely.
Xu You also gave him advice on this point. His views are similar to Kong Rong's. Don't even think about famous people who are famous. They will vote for Liu Biao, Liu Zhang, and Sun Quan may even vote for Chu Nan. But those famous people
, it is absolutely difficult to defect to Liu Bei, at least when Liu Bei was still an actual new leader, these famous talents would not take refuge in him no matter how optimistic they were about him.
If you want to find scholars, you can only look for those who are not yet famous but are talented. Just looking for these people is like opening a blind box. Maybe they are really talented, but they need to be exaggerated. There are only so many ways for scholars to become famous before they become famous.
Xu Youmenerqing.
Even if he invites these people, Liu Bei has to show 100% sincerity, otherwise it will be impossible to invite them, especially now that the situation in the world has basically been clearly seen. The Chu Nan family is the dominant one, and the other princes are united to keep warm. Liu Bei can develop.
The space is actually not too much. Even if Yuan Shao's team is given to Liu Bei, Liu Bei may not be able to create any waves. If those unknown talents can clearly see the general trend, they will not easily agree to Liu Bei.
If you want to invite talents to help you, you must first put down your dignity. Even though Liu Bei is now very famous and will be treated as a guest of honor no matter where he goes to the princes, it is difficult to do his own business.
Guan Yu said no more and just followed Liu Bei quietly.
Suddenly, Liu Bei felt a pain in his heart, as if something had been lost. His legs felt inexplicably weak and he sat on the ground with a thud.
"Brother!?" Guan Yu was startled and quickly stepped forward to help Liu Bei up.
Liu Bei suddenly turned pale, and his heart felt like a knife. He didn't know what happened, but in the dark, he seemed to feel that something had disappeared. He looked to the northeast, opened his mouth, and rolled his eyes.
Passed out directly.
"Brother!" Guan Yu was shocked, and he quickly stepped forward, supported Liu Bei, and reached out to pinch him.
"Alas~"
With a faint sigh, Guan Yu suddenly turned around and looked sharply at the place where the sound came from. He saw a young man appearing not far away at some unknown time. He looked at the sky, then at Liu Bei, and sighed: "Big man...
Die today!"
"Who are you?" Guan Yu narrowed his eyes, and his murderous intent instantly locked onto the opponent.
"Runan Meng Jian." The young man was obviously very young, but his eyes were filled with a sense of vicissitudes of life. He looked at Guan Yu and said with a smile, "I have heard the name of General Guan for a long time."
Guan Yu was sure that there was no one in the area just now. He frowned and looked around: "Is it really a strange art?"
"Bring Liu Shijun here." Meng Jian nodded, waved to Guan Yu and said, "General, please be careful about your next steps. Kong Mingbu's Qimen Formation, if you make a wrong step, you will be doomed."
"Thank you!" Guan Yu nodded coldly. He was an expert and bold man, so he was not afraid of the other party's schemes. Moreover, he was worried about his brother's safety, so he did not dare to neglect Liu Bei's back.
Follow Meng Jian away.
The two of them did not communicate with each other along the way. Meng Jian just walked in front. Guan Yu walked through Qimen and knew that one step was a huge difference. He followed the other's steps closely and it was a good step.
After walking like this for a while, Guan Yu found that the surrounding environment was something he had never seen before. He and Liu Bei walked through Longzhong five times, and each time they almost explored the surrounding area, but they had never seen the surrounding Jingxiang.
After walking for a while, a village appeared in front of him. Under the leadership of Meng Jian, he walked into a bamboo house. Meng Jian asked Guan Yu to lay Liu Bei down and feed Liu Bei some water.
"Is there a doctor here?" Guan Yu felt a little at ease when he saw his brother's breathing was steady, and looked at Meng Jiandao.
"You don't need a doctor, Mr. Xuande's pain is not an illness." Meng Jian shook his head: "You can wake up later."
"My brother was injured by an arrow before. This time it may be a relapse of his old illness. How can you be so sure?" Guan Yu frowned.
"Xuan Degong has the dragon spirit close to him, which can turn misfortune into good luck and disaster into good fortune." Meng Jian said with emotion: "The old wounds on his body are no longer harmful."
"May I ask, sir, why is my brother heartbroken?" Guan Yu was worried about Liu Bei's injury and saluted Meng Jian and asked.
"The dragon spirit that Mr. Xuande held was due to the condensed luck of the Han Dynasty. Now that the luck of the Han Dynasty has dispersed, Mr. Xuande feels it in his heart!" Meng Jian looked at Liu Bei and sighed.
"Big Han Dragon Qi?" Guan Yu frowned and said, "Sir, can you elaborate?"
He is also extraordinary now. Liu Bei, who has dragon energy in his body, cannot see it, but luck is no longer a secret in the eyes of extraordinary people like him. He has been able to see it a long time ago.
"I don't know what happened, but I just had a strange phenomenon. A flow of luck from the northeast suddenly flowed back to all directions. This is the sign of the collapse of the Han Dynasty's luck. As for the reason...it's hard to say." Meng Jian shook his head.
While talking, Liu Bei woke up slowly, covering his chest and said: "Is there any basis for what you just said, sir?"
As soon as he woke up, he heard this person say that the dragon energy of the Han Dynasty collapsed, and Liu Bei felt unhappy.
"This matter cannot be stated clearly. Those who can see it will see it. Since Mr. Xuande cannot see it, it is useless to say more." Meng Jian sighed.
When Liu Bei heard this, his expression was not very good. He stood up and saluted Meng Jian and said, "Sir, are you Mr. Wolong?"
"No." Meng Jian shook his head and said with a smile, "But it was he who invited me to invite Mr. Xuande to have a talk."
Liu Bei did not ask the other party why he had avoided seeing him since he had known about his visit. Telling what had happened would only embarrass both parties.
"Please lead the way, sir!" Liu Bei saluted Meng Jian with some urgency. He came here to find Zhuge Liang.
"Please!" Meng Jian stood up with a smile and took the Liu Bei brothers to another courtyard.
The courtyard is very ordinary, nothing special can be seen, but when you are in it, it feels refreshing, and your soul seems to have been washed.
"Kong Ming, people are here!" Meng Jian knocked on the door and shouted into the courtyard.
After a while, I saw a woman coming out. She was in her early twenties, and her appearance was considered to be a diligent one. However, her complexion was dull and black, her hair was withered and yellow, and her eyes were also a little yellow. Judging from the aesthetic standards of this era,
She is really not a beauty.
When they saw the three of them, they bowed and opened the door to greet them.
"Mrs. Sister-in-law, I'm here to bother you again." Meng Jian said with a smile.
"I don't dare." The young woman said very little. After leading the three of them into an attic, she resigned and left.
Meng Jian was obviously a regular visitor, so he pushed open the door and entered, but Liu Bei and Guan Yu did not rush in.
"Mr. Xuande, please come quickly." A clear voice came from inside the house.
"Excuse me." Liu Bei led Guan Yu through the door and saw a man sitting on the floor above the main seat, with Meng Jian kneeling beside him.
The man is wearing a crane cloak and a silk scarf on his head. His face is like a crown of jade, and he has three long strands of beard under his chin.
"Mr. Wolong?" Liu Bei asked.
"The Crouching Dragon is just a joke. I am Langya Zhuge Liang, whose pseudonym is Kongming. I have heard your name for a long time." Zhuge Liang smiled and stretched out his hand to guide me: "Please take a seat, your Majesty."
"Since I have heard my brother's name for a long time, why have I always avoided seeing him?" Guan Yuqing
Hum, their brothers have visited several times, and the other party obviously knew about it, but refused to meet, which is really annoying.
"How could Liang dare to avoid seeing you in the name of your benevolence and righteousness if you were to make friends and talk about Taoism? However, you are not here to make friends and discuss Taoism. I wanted to avoid you. But how can you be so sincere and visit Longzhong five times?
If you don't see Liang again, it will be a humiliation for you." Zhuge Liang sighed softly.
When Liu Bei heard this, his heart sank. Zhuge Liang's implication was obvious. He knew his purpose, but he was unwilling to help.
"Bei knows that he has poor moral character and is not a master of the Ming Dynasty. I dare not disturb Mr. Qingxiu." Liu Bei sighed, adjusted his mentality, and saluted Zhuge Liang: "However, as a clan member of the Han Dynasty, Bei saw the emperor doing things for his daughter.
I was deceived by my ministers, and I wanted to get rid of the thieves, but I was unable to do anything about it. I have been running around for half my life, just hoping to help the Han Dynasty to flourish again. I am not in vain of your majesty's kindness, so I come here with shame, just asking for your help."
"You don't have to be so arrogant. Liang was born in Langya. When Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, he also saw the heroic spirit of Xuande. Forgive me for speaking frankly. With Xuande's benevolence and righteousness, Xuande should have a place in this world.
"If Duke Xuande has little virtue, how many people dare to say he is virtuous in the world?" Zhuge Liang shook his head and smiled.
Liu Bei felt a little bitter in his heart. He had lived a rough life and met all kinds of people. Although Zhuge Liang's words were highly praised, they also contained a hint of rejection.
"In that case, why don't you come out to help?" It was not Liu Bei or Guan Yu who spoke, but Meng Jian. He looked at Zhuge Liang and asked.
"It's not because I don't want to, but it's just that the number of days has been decided. There is no difference between showing it or not?" Zhuge Liang shook his head, with a bit of loneliness in his eyes.
"The world is not yet determined, how can we say that the number of days has been determined?" Meng Jian frowned.
Liu Bei also quickly said: "How dare you, sir, please make it clear!" This chapter has been completed!
