Summoning the best emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 491
"It's a farewell to the academy. I haven't seen many people. I, Ma Liang, am very happy to see Kong Ming again today."

The people who suddenly visited Ma's house were none other than Zhuge Liang who had left Chengdu.

After Zhuge Liang and others left Chengdu, they didn't take the main road to return to Chenliu. Instead, they made a detour to Xiangyang, Jingzhou, and found Ma Liang, a good friend he had met in the academy.

Ma Liang was sitting opposite Zhuge Liang, his two rather conspicuous white eyebrows shone with the brilliance of wisdom.

But now, he is rare to have some doubts.

He knew that Zhuge Liang had already voted for Liu Xie's affairs, and he also held such an important position as the master blogger in Yanzhou.

It stands to reason that it is impossible for Zhuge Liang to personally go to the territories of other princes like Jingzhou for no reason.

What's more, Jingzhou is not peaceful now. Pan Feng and Song Jiang are fighting fiercely in the north, and Liu Bei is not sure when he will get the news and rush back.

Moreover, looking at Zhuge Liang's dusty appearance, Ma Liang was even more sure that he did not come directly from Chenliu.

"I'm afraid there are some big secrets in this, but I'm just a commoner, the less I know, the safer I am. This kind of curiosity should be enough."

Ma Liang said silently in his heart, now he just wants to know why Zhuge Liang suddenly came to the door.

Could it be...

Ma Liang suddenly thought of something, and even his breathing became slightly heavier.

Zhuge Liang, who was sitting opposite him, smiled slightly, showing a calm and kind look.

The plain white long sleeves are windless and automatic, which makes him look like a fairy, with an incomparably radiant look.

It's just that Zhao Yun and Gao Chong who were standing next to him changed their expressions slightly when they saw him, and began to mourn for Ma Liang in their hearts.

The two of them have followed Zhuge Liang for so long, and they have a deep understanding of their husband's temperament and behavior style.

Although they didn't know why Zhuge Liang suddenly changed his way to the Ma's house in Xiangyang, but they knew clearly that whenever Zhuge Liang showed such a contented expression, it proved that someone was going to "suffer". up.

Zhuge Liang smiled faintly, looked at Ma Liang and said, "Ji Chang, don't you wonder where I come from, where I'm going, and why I came here to find you this time?"

When Ma Liang heard this, he was slightly taken aback, a little surprised.

He didn't want to get involved in Zhuge Liang's affairs, but he didn't expect Zhuge Liang to mention it to him on purpose.

Ma Liang lowered his head and pondered, knowing that an extremely intelligent person like Zhuge Liang would have a strong purpose in everything he said and did.

He couldn't help feeling vaguely that Zhuge Liang's visit to him this time might be something serious.

What worried him a little was that he didn't know whether this so-called big event was a good thing or a bad thing for the Ma family.

"Kong Ming is now different from what he used to be. Not only does he serve under King Wu, the largest prince in the world, but he is also the master of a state. Not long ago, he commanded an army as a military advisor to destroy Yuan Shu in Runan. Come today, Kong Ming is going to Can you imitate the overlord of Western Chu and return home in splendid robes?"

Ma Liang's eyes full of spirituality moved slightly, and said deliberately.

He didn't understand that Zhuge Liang was indifferent to fame and fortune, and now he deliberately said this in order to force Zhuge Liang to take the initiative to tell the purpose of his coming.

After hearing this, Zhuge Liang didn't feel that Ma Liang was mocking himself. He still had a smile on his face and said in a slightly deep voice: "The world is not peaceful, how can Liang wear brocade clothes, and where can he be a hometown? What is the purpose of my coming this time?" What to do, doesn't Ji Chang really have any guesses and ideas in his heart?"

When Ma Liang heard the words, his body moved unnaturally.

Although Zhuge Liang's words were light and weightless, he couldn't help but get a little excited.

Although Xiangyang is big, at this time, the only thing that can attract top advisers like Zhuge Liang to come in person is talent.

As for the so-called talents, it is obvious that Zhuge Liang came for the five brothers.

Although their five brothers are highly talented and famous, none of them has become an official. They are all dressed in white clothes, so they are carefree.

Moreover, the storm in Jingzhou has begun, and everyone can see the chaotic situation. Many family members, including the Ma family, are already working on their retreat.

Ma Liang was sure that Zhuge Liang was afraid that he was going to fish in troubled waters, so he took the opportunity to recruit some talents for that Wu Wang Liu Xie.

"Kong Ming, are you serious?"

Ma Liang's voice trembled a little, and he couldn't sit still any longer. He fixed his eyes on the smiling Zhuge Liang and asked excitedly.

"The name of the five permanent members of the Ma family should not only exist in this land of Jingxiang. How broad your hearts are, the stage of this world can be as big as it is."

Zhuge Liang nodded, and then gently shook the off-white feather fan in his hand.

This elegant appearance, no matter how you look at it, looks like... a magic stick who seduces people's hearts and is extremely successful.

"To be honest with Kong Ming, Jingzhou is no longer a place to live for a long time. My Ma family is already thinking about finding a place to settle down, but the road is long and crowded. For a while, we don't know where to go. Kong Ming is well-informed. , must be able to choose a good place for our Ma family."

Ma Liang picked up the teapot, filled Zhuge Liang with deep and clear tea, and said with deep meaning.

"It turns out that this guy already has the heart to seek refuge. It's a good thing I came early. Otherwise, it would be shabby to go back empty-handed, and everyone would make fun of him. It's all right now. It can satisfy the lord."

Zhuge Liang said inwardly that he was lucky, unexpectedly he almost missed Ma Shi Wuchang.

Zhuge Liang no longer tactfully tried, and said directly: "Since this is the case, Ji Chang might as well go to Chenliu with me. I believe that with the talents of your five brothers, you will definitely be able to be reused by our lord, and the Ma family will also be able to thrive."

Finally hearing Zhuge Liang's positive acceptance, even Ma Liang, who has always been prudent, couldn't help but beam with joy.

He was so excited that he let a few people rest here for a while, and went straight into the house to find the elders of the family, and secretly told him the unexpected good news.

The Patriarch of the Ma family is Ma Liang's father. Originally, he was still worried about whether he would go to Jiangdong to vote for Sun Jian, or go north to vote for Liu Xie or Cao Cao. Unexpectedly, Zhuge Liang was so well informed that he came to invite them in person.

He didn't hesitate at all, and immediately agreed.

But they didn't expect that Zhuge Liang didn't come here to recruit them because he was well-informed, but that Zhuge Liang wanted to use them "as a face-to-face meeting to deal with business affairs" on a temporary basis.

After a detailed discussion between the two parties, Zhuge Liang did not stay long after the agreement was made. Instead, he took Ma Liang and Ma Di from Wuchang, and set off to return to Chenliu to prepare for the arrival of Ma's family.

And because the Ma family has a big business, they still need to sell the land, dismiss the servants and so on. They have to sort out all the big and small things carefully before they can retreat and the whole family goes north, so they didn't set off together.
