As soon as Zhuge Qiao said this, the hall was in chaos. Some people were whispering, some were shocked, some were overjoyed, and some were confused.

"How do you know about this? Is the news true?" Ma Su looked surprised, but did not dare to confirm.

"The news is true, there are witnesses here."

"Witness?"

"Yes, please look at Ma Junjun!" Zhuge Qiao pointed to Zhang Bai beside him, "This is the distinguished guest I invited today, Zhang Wen and Zhang Huishu's biological brother, Zhang Bai and Zhang Enpei."

Zhang Bai was embarrassed when he heard this and his face turned red.At this time, there was a buzz in the hall, and many people seemed to be suddenly enlightened. They all stared at Zhang Bai, looking back and forth.

Zhuge Qiao looked at Zhang Bai with an encouraging look on his face.

This Zhuge Bosong is really a bad thing.

That Zhuge Liang above is a fake!He originally wanted to hide in the dark and observe more, but unexpectedly, this was suddenly exposed.

He looked around, and there were eyes everywhere with complicated expressions, some looking forward to it, some nervousness, some suspicion, some ridicule, and some even had expressions that were hard to describe.

Only Zhuge Liang had a poker face, uncertain.

He can't back down, otherwise he will lose face. His plan to introduce the power of the Western Region and open up the Southern Silk Road must not be blocked at this wine table.

Zhang Bai calmed down and gave Zhuge Qiao and Deng Liang a fierce look.Then he said loudly with a bright smile: "Zhang Bai, who was born late, is the youngest son of the Zhang family in Wu County. He has a cursive name of Enpei. I attend the banquet abruptly today. Please forgive me, Prime Minister and all your lords."

He was young, but he spoke politely, and immediately some people nodded in silent approval.

As the master, Zhuge Liang had to speak out this time: "It turns out that he is a son of the Zhang family, so you came to Chengdu to meet your eldest brother, right?"

"Back to the Prime Minister, that's exactly the case."

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Liang looked at Zhang Bai with a smile. Zhang Bai also raised his eyelids at this time, and the two of them immediately looked at each other.

An extreme tension spread between the two of them.

There seemed to be thunder flashing in the air, like dark clouds pressing over the city, lightning flashing everywhere, threatening people's lives.

But others in the lobby didn't feel this way.

One of the men, who looked like an elder, was the first to ask: "Does Enpei already have a cousin at such a young age? It seems inappropriate."

"My lord, I left home when I was six years old and went to study in the Western Regions. Because the journey is far away, I don't know when I will return to my hometown, so before leaving, my eldest brother gave me my cousin's name in advance."

The elder looked relieved, nodded and said nothing.

"So, did you just come back from the Western Regions? How did you know the news about the Wu Kingdom in the east?" It was Ma Su who asked this question.

"Returning to Ma to join the army, Wansheng received a letter from his family before arriving in Chengdu. It was said that his brother and General Deng Zhi had already set off for Shu together. Wansheng was waiting in Chengdu and would return home together."

"That's it!" Everyone in the hall felt that this story was very credible, and most of them smiled and talked with each other.It is said that since Zhang Wen made the trip and was accompanied by Deng Zhi, the alliance should have been completed.

Otherwise, Sun Quan only needs to reply with a refusal, so there is no need to send an envoy to go with Deng Zhi.

Moreover, this Zhang Wen was famous. It was said that he had a majestic appearance and noble conduct. He had served as a councilor, selected Cao Shangshu, and moved to the position of crown prince and tutor.In particular, the so-called position of the prince's tutor is the prince's master. This is a very honorable position although it has no real power.

Sending such a person to Shu was clearly for the purpose of forming an alliance.

An alliance between Wu and Shu is a good thing, as it can avoid the imminent Wu-Shu war.Regardless of the meritorious deeds of the elders, the nobles of Jingzhou and Dongzhou, or the wealthy families of Shu, they are all very happy to see it.There was gradually a sound of praise and congratulations in the hall, and some people even started to raise glasses and prepare to celebrate.

Zhuge Liang's voice came slowly: "Master Zhang has worked hard all the way. I don't know which way he took when he returned from the Western Regions?"

The person who asked this question was Zhuge Liang. He had not said a few words tonight, but now he suddenly spoke. Everyone in the hall immediately became alert and turned to look at Zhang Bai.

The air in the hall seemed to freeze instantly.

"It turns out that the Prime Minister has also heard about the Western Regions. Prime Minister, there are generally three roads to return home from the Western Regions. One is the North Road, which passes through Zhang Qian's hollowed out road by Bowang Marquis and enters Long via the northwest desert; the second is the South Road, Shuoheng The river passes through India, crosses the mountains, passes through Nanzhong, passes through Jianning and Yongchang, and reaches the Shu region; the third is a waterway, passing through the Arabian Sea, the Bengal Sea, and Malay, turning northward until landing at Jiaozhou."

Zhang Bai's words made many people here widen their eyes. People in the Han Dynasty lacked knowledge of the outside world, and such things were unheard of.

"Master Zhang is so familiar with geography! So, which way did you go?" Zhuge Liang asked.

geography?Also physics and chemistry!Zhang Bai smiled secretly in his heart.

"The second route that Wan Sheng generally took was the land route in the south, but I heard that there was unrest in Nanzhong and it was difficult to pass. In desperation, I had to take a detour and cross the snowy mountains and deep ravines from the northwest of Nanzhong to Chengdu."

"The road here is extremely difficult. Not only are there snow-cold mountains and dangerous deep valleys, but also man-eating savages appear from time to time. It is only thanks to the loyalty and bravery of the generals who resisted the danger that we arrived safely."

He deliberately made up a story, firstly to conceal his identity as a time traveler in front of Zhuge Liang; secondly, to prevent others from asking about the situation in Nanzhong.I have never been there at all, so if I answer it, I may be cheating.

Zhuge Liang's eyes were solemn and he sighed: "To the west is the land of the Qiang people! I heard that the road to Shu is difficult to travel, but the scenery is infinite, with flowing streams and peach blossom pools. I wonder if this is true?"

Hearing these words, Zhang Bai felt as if he had been struck by lightning, which made him dizzy and full of questions.

This sentence contains three of Li Bai's poems, the flowing water is "Wanglu Mountain Waterfall", the peach blossom pond water is "Gift to Wang Lun", needless to say, the road to Shu is difficult, it is "The road to Shu is difficult"!These three songs are either primary school or middle school content, and I have never learned them in my previous life.

"Since Zhuge Liang is a time traveler, he is testing me, but does he have good intentions or bad intentions?" Zhang Bai thought.

If it's malicious, it doesn't make sense.If there is malicious intent, then the traces must be hidden. Why use Li Bai's poems to point it out here?Wouldn't that be self-exposure?

If it was a good intention, it would be strange. Zhuge Liang pointed out his identity at this time just because he wanted to make friends.But he had already asked Huang Xi to request an audience, so why did he delay it again and again?And even Huang Xi has disappeared. "

Zhang Bai's mind was spinning for a moment, but he couldn't figure it out.

"Is this... is there a lot of water flowing down, really." Zhang Bai simply didn't know how to answer, "But... I didn't see the peach blossoms."

Zhuge Liang remained calm and continued: "I heard a song when I was a child. The lyrics say: A dangerous building is a hundred feet high, and you can pick the stars with your hand. It is said that it is about the snow mountain road in Western Shu. I wonder if the snow mountain can really pick the stars?"

Zhang Bai had a secret in his heart.

It is certain that this Zhu Geliang is at least a time traveler after the Tang Dynasty and a loyal fan of Li Bai. How can this be a ballad?It's obviously Li Bai's "Staying at the Mountain Temple at Night".Just now are the first two sentences, and the last two sentences are: Don't dare to speak loudly, for fear of shocking the heavens.

"Afraid...Afraid of shocking the people in heaven?" In other words, afraid of being known by others?what do you know?Who are you afraid of?Zhang Bai suddenly seemed to understand something.
