Chapter 498: Xiangyang

Chen Lang led the two into the hall and served tea to entertain them.

At this moment, Zhuge Liang arrived in a hurry. Seeing Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong Xu Shu couldn't help standing up. When the two met, they couldn't help being very excited.

Zhuge Liang clasped his fists at the two of them, and said with emotion: "The two dear brothers have finally turned away from the dark!"

Pang Tong Xu Shu couldn't help feeling full of emotions, and Pang Tong smiled bitterly: "I regret not listening to Kong Ming's words. I thought that Liu Bei was really a benevolent gentleman. If he could attach to him and help the world, he would be a man! However," He couldn't help shook his head, "As the saying goes, "It's hard to get a good name", that Liu Bei's name of benevolence and righteousness is spread all over the world, but he is a hypocrite full of benevolence and righteousness! That's all right! This man looks generous, but in fact he has a very big heart. Narrow-minded, Yuan Zhi and I have repeatedly guilty of Yan Zhi's remonstrance. Although they did not blame us, their inner unhappiness has already been revealed! Liu Bei actually doesn't want to be faithful, but rather likes the flattery of Zhang Song and others! Now we are at this stage. Field, it can be said that the blame is on its own!"

Immediately aware of something, he hurriedly clasped his fists to Chen Lang and said, "I have emotions in my heart, and I can't help but say so many untimely things. Please forgive King Qin!"

Chen Lang smiled and said, "Mr. doesn't have to worry about anything here. I can say what I want to say. Although I am not a gentleman, Chen Lang will not hate him because he said something that he didn't like."

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "The lord only needs to abide by the laws here, and there is no need to be too reserved. Shi Yuan just expressed his feelings, and the lord will never despise Mr. Mr. because of this." Pang Tong couldn't help but relax.

Chen Lang smiled and said, "Don't stand up, sit down and talk."

With a promise, everyone sat down under Chen Lang.

Chen Lang said to Pang Tong Xu Shu: "The two gentlemen are both geniuses of the world. I don't know what to think of the current situation?"

Pang Tong and Xu Shu glanced at each other, and Pang Tong clasped his fist and said: "Nowadays, the heroes are competing, but the ultimate ownership of the world should be between King Qin and King Wei." Xu Shu nodded and said: "What Shiyuan said is extremely true! Dong Zhuo, and then North Dang Xianbei, has the power to control the world! And sitting on the court of Han Dynasty, he can hold the emperor to conquer him! The King of Qin already has the appearance of one-third of the emperor!" Chen Lang laughed.

Pang Tong continued: "For the rest, only Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Sun Jian are left. Although these three can be called heroes, it is only Cao Cao who can really compete with King Qin for the world. In the future, King Qin and Cao Cao will determine the general trend of the world. !"

Chen Lang smiled and said: "Yuan Shao IV and San Gong, powerful can be said to be the first of the princes, and now they are stubborn with Cao Cao in Guandu, and Cao Cao has fallen behind. Does the gentleman think that Cao Cao can win the battle of Guandu?"

Pang Tong said firmly: "Cao Cao can win!"

Chen Lang was taken aback, and smiled: "Sir, is he so sure?"

Pang Tong looked at Xu Shu, smiled and said, "Yuan Zhi has the same view as mine, so let Yuan Zhi explain it."

Xu Shu smiled and hugged Chen Lang and said: "Lord, the truth is actually very simple. Yuan Shao is also stronger than Cao Cao in the number of soldiers and horses and the number of food and grass. If anything else, this is far inferior to Cao Cao. He has never decided to win. Loss is definitely not the number of soldiers and horses and the amount of money and food, so although Yuan Shao has the upper hand now, as long as there are no accidents, I think Cao Cao will eventually win!"

Chen Lang smiled at the same thing as Zhuge Liang, and said with a smile: "This is really the same as what a hero sees! The opinions of the two gentlemen coincide with Kong Ming!" The two couldn't help but look at Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Liang also looked at him. The two of them exchanged their gazes, and their feelings overflowed in Yan Biao.

Chen Lang frowned and said, "Even though you are so sure, but I feel that the world is unpredictable. Although Cao Cao should be able to win, Yuan Shao is strong after all. As long as Cao Cao is inattentive, he is afraid that it will be a complete overthrow." The three looked at each other. After a glance, he couldn't help but nodded.

Chen Lang raised his head and smiled and said, "No matter what their ending is, it has nothing to do with us for the time being. Our top priority is to deal with Sun Jian." Then he said to Pang Tong Xu Shu: "The two gentlemen were tired, so let's go down and take a good rest." Then he said to Zhuge Liang: "Kong Ming, Yuan Zhi, and Shi Yuan are all your best friends, so you will entertain them for me." Zhuge Liang stood up and promised. Pang Tong and Xu Shu stood up, folded their fists and thanked them. Then the three retired and left the hall.

auzw.com Chen Lang was thinking, he was thinking: Pang Tong and Xu Shu are here, so where will Liu Bei be?

Zhuge Liang led Pang Tong Xu Shu out of the camp. Zhuge Liang smiled and said to the two of them: "If the two dear friends don't dislike, how about living with me?" The two of them showed joy, and Xu Shu said: "That's the best! I'm just looking for a chance to have a good talk with Kong Ming Have a talk!"

Zhuge Liang led the two to the small courtyard where he was temporarily staying. Right next to the camp, it was a small courtyard with a front hall and a back yard. Although the place was small, the flowers, trees and green grass were layered on top of each other, which was a mess. Quiet and cozy place.

Pang Tong couldn't help laughing and cursing: "Kong Ming will enjoy it! Now that he is traveling with the King of Qin, he can also be enjoyed in such a unique place!"

Zhuge Liang laughed and said: "Shi Yuan made fun." Then he invited two friends to sit down in the pavilion in the backyard, and laughed: "The house is so boring and uncomfortable, not as refreshing as this yard." The two smiled: "True. It suits my liking." A book boy offered tea, and the three sipped their tea. Zhuge Liang put down the tea cups, glanced at the two of them, and said as if reproaching: "You two are really ignorant, since you have come to serve as the lord, why? Don't have a meeting ceremony?"

The two looked at each other, and Pang Tong shook off his empty sleeves, and said with a wry smile: "It's going to make Kong Ming laugh. I am so poor that I have two sleeves and a breeze. How can I give gifts to King Qin!"

Zhuge Liang sneered and said, "How can the lord see the vulgar things in the world. The two dear brothers are obviously pretending to be dementia. Since the two dear brothers have come to cast the effect, why not tell Liu Bei's whereabouts? Is it difficult for the two dear brothers to be in the same way? She, still can't let go of Liu Bei?"

Xu Shu smiled and said, "Kong Ming is asking for it knowingly! Since the two of me have come to serve King Qin, how can we not let Liu Bei go?" Then he couldn't help but sighed and said, "We are completely desperate for Liu Bei! If it weren't for Liu Bei, he said. Unable to assist me, I will never abandon him!" I raised my head and looked at Zhuge Liang sternly, "But after all, Liu Bei was once the lord of mine. Although I have abandoned Liu Bei, how can I bear to betray him!"

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Yuan Zhi, you are still as pedantic as you were in the past!" Xu Shu smiled bitterly, picked up the teacup and drank the tea in one gulp, and smiled bitterly: "I am afraid that this stinky problem will not be corrected in this life!"

Zhuge Liang smiled, looked at Pang Tong, and asked, "Isn't Shi Yuan reluctant to say it?"

Pang Tong glanced at Xu Shu and said with a smile: "Although I don't care about betraying Liu Bei, I don't have to be a villain!" He glanced at Zhuge Liang, and said in an angry manner: "Kong Ming, you are as cunning as a fox, Liu Bei will escape. Don’t you know where to go? Why tease us on purpose!"

Zhuge Liang laughed, but did not deny it. He raised his head to look at the sky, and said, "It's getting dark. In the evening, I will accompany the two dear brothers to stroll around the streets of Xiangyang for a relaxing time. Although this Xiangyang is not as beautiful as Luoyang's blooming flowers, it is also Very lively."

Pang Tong said: "Then the feeling is good! If it is not enough for Kong Ming, you have to treat! You have to pay for the expenses tonight!" Xu Shu echoed: "Yes! Kong Ming treats tonight!"

Zhuge Liang laughed and said, "The two dear brothers are dead, so they gave up their lives to accompany the gentleman!" The three laughed.

After nightfall that day, Zhuge Liang led the two tourists on a night tour of Xiangyang. At the beginning of the Hua Deng, the city of Xiangyang was lively and peaceful. Small vendors selling snacks hawked along the street. All kinds of cries were mixed together, one after another; children chased and played along the street, and the cries of annoyed parents came one after another. ; Not far away, a few handsome men and beautiful women gathered in the lakeside pavilion, chanting poems and expressing feelings. It is really affectionate, and I don’t know the sun and the moon in the world.

Pang Tong and Xu Shu watched this scene in their eyes and were amazed. Xu Shu couldn't help saying: "I visited Xiangyang not long ago, but the Xiangyang at that time is nothing short of the present! What I saw and heard that day is like the past! It's incredible! "

Pang Tong couldn’t help but exclaimed: “The great battles took place not long ago, but it’s amazing how the people here can live and work so peacefully! Although the two of me don’t believe Liu Bei and others’ slander against King Qin, it’s still like this. It's far beyond expectation!"

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "This is because Xiangyang is still on the front line. If it is in Luoyang, the two dear brothers will know what a prosperous age is!" Then he couldn't help but said with emotion: "I don't want to conceal it, I came to Luoyang for the first time after serving as the lord. , I was stunned by the sight! The heavens and the earth are nothing but the same!" Hearing Zhuge Liang's words, the two couldn't help but yearn for Luoyang.

Pang Tong sighed suddenly, and said with some regret: "It's a pity! I didn't follow King Qin from the beginning! I didn't participate in the events!" Xu Shu couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "It's not too late for the two dear brothers to come here! The road to dominate the world is still long! Wouldn't there be no chance for the two dear brothers to show off their strengths? Let's just say this is now, the battle with Sun Jian In front of me, this is a great time for the two dear friends to assist the master to make contributions!" The two could not help but nod their heads, and their hearts couldn't help but become hot. From ancient times to the present, Mingzhu has always longed for talents, and talents have never been eager to meet Mingzhu, because only a real Mingzhu can let them show their strengths and live up to their lifelong learning!

The three of them walked while chatting and looked up, and saw a restaurant not far in front, brightly lit and bustling with hustle and bustle. Zhuge Liang stopped and pointed to the restaurant with a smile: "I'm waiting late! I hope there is a seat so that we can have a drink!"
