Liu Cong bowed to several people: "I have met three old gentlemen." Then he looked at Pang Tong who was adding firewood, "I came here specifically for the scholarship."
Huang Chengyan laughed: "Pang boy, your lover is here."
Pang Tong also stood up, put down the firewood in his hand, saluted Liu Cong and said, "Thank you for your help. Second son, I care about you. I will follow you here under the moonlight."
When Liu Cong heard this, he did not directly refuse or agree. When he had the opportunity, he said: "If I were to become Shi Yuan, I would like to pursue him for another sixty miles. I wonder where Shi Yuan is going now?"
Pang Tong was also moved by the feeling that a scholar would die for his confidant: "Tong, we haven't made any arrangements yet. Tong has something to say, but I don't know whether I should say it or not?"
Liu Cong replied: "It doesn't matter what Shi Yuan said!"
Pang Tong said: "The second young master is not the eldest son!"
When Liu Cong heard Pang Tong's question, he knew that what Pang Tong was thinking was that Liu Qibai was the eldest son and the first heir to Jingzhou.
This question is easy for Liu Cong, because he has never taken a waste idiot like Liu Qi seriously. But how do you say this to others? After all, this is your eldest brother.
After Liu Cong thought for a long time, he focused his eyes, looked at Pang Tong firmly and said: "I will support my eldest brother for the rest of my life, and I will make sure that he enjoys wealth and wealth!"
When Pang Tong saw this, disappointment flashed in his eyes, and he bowed to Liu Cong and said, "Second Young Master, please come back! Tong has no intention of leaving the mountain." After saying that, he turned around to pick up the firewood on the ground.
"Wait a minute." Liu Cong walked quickly to Pang Tong and bowed again, "Shi Yuan, please listen to me."
"What Shi Yuan is worried about is that I am not ruthless enough?"
Pang Tong nodded. In Pang Tong's opinion, regardless of his age, as a king and lord, he can give up anything for the sake of his inheritance!
Liu Cong continued: "What does Shi Yuan think of my eldest brother?"
Pang Tong said without thinking: "Mediocre."
"If Jingzhou is handed over to him, will it be possible to forge ahead? Is it possible to preserve the foundation? Is it possible to make the people happy?"
Pang Tong replied: "No."
Liu Cong said again: "Shi Yuan's Taoist name is Feng Chu, and Feng is a person born in Nirvana. If my eldest brother can achieve a great career, I will be happy to enjoy wealth and honor. However, Shi Yuan knows what kind of person he is. I have read hundreds of schools of thought since I was a child.
Of all the classics, I only like Qu Zi's "Li Sao". In particular, Cong was deeply moved by the sentence "I'm sorry for the hardships of the people's livelihood"! Cong's ambition in life is to hope that the people in the world can live a more stable life, and I hope Shi Yuan can help me!"
"People's livelihood is so difficult because of the collapse of the system and the distortion of policies. These are things that mediocre people cannot change. I don't believe in fate, but I believe in one sentence: The capable will be promoted and the mediocre will be demoted!"
"Shi Yuan was afraid of my brother's fight for the throne, but he was kind-hearted. However, Cong never took him seriously. If necessary, Cong was not afraid of damaging his reputation! There is no conflict between lack of personal morality and being wise or not. The First Emperor also once
By killing his younger brother and imprisoning his mother, Emperor Xiaowu also suffered from witchcraft."
"Shi Yuan was born in a poor family?" Liu Cong finished speaking and asked another question.
Pang Tong had not yet recovered from what Liu Cong had just said, so he paused and nodded in agreement.
Liu Cong said again: "Shi Yuan was born in a poor family, and his appearance is not very beautiful. Has Shi Yuan ever suffered the cold eyes and contempt of others?"
Pang Tong thought about it and realized that it was more than contempt? So he replied: "Yes."
Liu Cong asked again: "Shi Yuan has also seen so-called children of aristocratic families, and they will choose people based on their appearance and family background."
"Why does Shi Yuan look at me from the worldly perspective? Shi Yuan's Taoist name is Feng Chu, so he should be different. Why should he be pedantic in the world's principles?"
Liu Cong stopped Pang Tong who was about to speak and continued: "Shi Yuan, don't be in a hurry to answer me. I know why Shi Yuan has been reluctant to come out of the mountain. A phoenix should soar above the nine heavens. How can he be at the bottom?"
"If Shi Yuan goes to Jiangdong, he will at most be a staff member of Sun Quan or Zhou Yu. If Shi Yuan follows me, he will definitely be my mastermind, in charge of politics at home and leading the army abroad!"
"Shiyuan, what I say is from the bottom of my heart. I treat Shiyuan with sincerity. The king chooses his ministers, and the ministers also choose their king. I hope Shiyuan will choose me."
After Liu Cong finished speaking, he bowed to Pang Tong again!
Pang Tong looked at the weak-headed young man in front of him, and San Gong also looked at him.
Huang Chengyan thought to himself: What a eloquent mouth, this boy must have been hiding his clumsiness in the past, and his achievements in the future will definitely not be inferior to that of Sun Quan! Pang Xiaozi is probably going to leave the mountain.
Mr. Pang De and Mr. Sima looked at the two men stroking their beards and chuckled, remaining silent.
For a long time, Pang Tong did not respond.
"boom"
"boom"
There was thunder and lightning in the sky. Pang Tong looked up at the sky, then at Liu Cong, and finally shook his head.
Liu Cong smiled bitterly and thought to himself: Sure enough, the eldest son inheritance system in this era is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
After bowing to Pang Shiyuan and Sangong again, Liu Cong said, "I'm sorry to bother you all."
After speaking, he turned around and called Huo Jun: "Zhong Miao, find a few people to send these gentlemen to the villa."
Huo Jun raised his hands and responded: "The last general takes orders!"
"Lord!" A voice shouted from behind Liu Cong.
Liu Cong stopped, restrained his trembling body, and turned around to look. Pang Tong smiled bitterly and said: "My lord, Pang Tong is willing to go out and follow my lord."
Liu Cong ran quickly towards Pang Tong, but was so excited that he fell down and ate the mud. "Second Young Master!" Huo Jun hurriedly led people to run over, but missed. Liu Cong got up and continued to rush towards Pang Tong quickly.
Regardless of the embarrassment on his face, Liu Cong stretched out his hand to wipe the plaster on his face that blocked his sight, then grabbed Pang Tong's hands and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, I won the scholarship, I can't help but be happy, I can't help being happy!"
The soldier died for his confidant, and Pang Tong also had tears in his eyes: "Lord!"
"Shi Yuan!"
Huang Chengyan joked: "Young boy Pang, are you still miserable?"
Sima Hui and Pang Degong also smiled and said: "A scholar must meet the Lord of the Ming Dynasty."
Pang Tong kowtowed to the three elders three times: "My dear teachers, Pang Shiyuan is leaving!"
The three of them smiled and nodded.
Liu Cong personally helped Pang Tong onto the horse, stood under the horse, looked up at Pang Tong and said, "Shi Yuan, don't worry." Then he raised three fingers, "I, Liu Cong, swear to God that I will take Pang Shiyuan as my mentor and my mastermind.
The government is in charge internally, and the army is in charge externally. The military will not fail me, and I will not fail the military. If you violate the oath, thunder will strike from heaven."
"boom"
"boom"
The lightning in the sky reflects on Liu Cong's young, yet resolute and angular face. Liu Cong's eyes are pure and sincere.
Pang Tong sat on the horse with tears in his eyes. He clasped his fists towards Liu Cong and said, "Pang Tong will follow my lord until death!"
Pang Degong looked at this scene and said: "Liu Cong chased the phoenix chick under the moon for sixty miles, personally helped him onto the horse, swore to the sky, and the name of the master was determined. A hundred years later, it will be a good story."
Sima Hui looked at this scene and shook his head and said: "It's a pity that Kong Ming won his master at the wrong time. This land of Jingxiang is going to be wonderful."
Sima Hui means that Liu Bei is weak, and although Zhuge Liang is talented, he lacks the chips to compete.
Huang Chengyan glanced at the two of them, waved to Liu Cong in the distance and shouted: "Hey, Mr. Liu, send someone to take us back quickly, it's going to rain!"
"boom"
"boom"
There were a few more thunders, and thin lines began to drip from the sky!
Huang Chengyan is worthy of being an old naughty boy. He abruptly broke the artistic conception of the two people around him and made Liu Cong and Pang Tong laugh.
"Huo Jun, please send these three old gentlemen off. The rest will follow me back to Jingzhou!" Liu Cong finished explaining to Huo Jun and got on the horse.
With a snap, Liu Cong whipped his riding whip and shouted to Pang Tong: "Shi Yuan, let's see whose horse is faster!"
"Herod"
Pang Tongyi responded by swinging the reins of his horse: "It's what you wish for!"
