Baidi Chunshen

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan with a smile, and looked at Zhuge Ke meaningfully: "Let them spread rumors and say that I want to rebel, is it meritorious service? Ke'er thinks that His Majesty will believe such words?"

"Ha... Uncle really expected it." Zhuge Ke said with a smile: "Even if His Majesty doesn't believe it, what if the people of Chengdu believe it?"

Zhuge Liang nodded and smiled: "Ke'er is smart. He knows how to attack the army, and the second is to attack the diplomatic relations. It's a pity that your plan to instigate Huang Yuan to attack Chengdu is a waste of effort."

Zhuge Ke was astonished.The armies are at war, and the roads are impassable.If he made a detour to enter Shu from Nanzhong, if Huang Yuan hadn't let him go, he wouldn't be able to come to Chengdu... Zhuge Liang had expected it a long time ago.And his own strategy also did not escape Zhuge Liang's expectations.Zhuge Ke couldn't help showing a little more admiration, and said with a quiet smile, "Why am I wasting my time? If Huang Yuan attacked Chengdu, Nanzhong took advantage of the turmoil to attack together and surrounded Chengdu. What does uncle want to do?"

"Why do you have to deal with it?" Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "It's so calm to watch the tiger from the mountain. Huang Yuanyuan is violent and has no kindness to the people. The southern soil resents him. If he marches into Chengdu, Gao Ding will take advantage of the false attack. How dare he Reckless move?"

"..." Zhuge Ke was speechless.

"Ke'er, you can't be willful about spreading rumors, you have to follow the trend." Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and looked at Zhuge Ke with a smile: "I have already sent people to Nanzhong to fan the fire with Hanjia, which aggravated the suspicion and conflict between the two families. Now that Huang Yuan is worried that it will be too late, how can he spare time to plan for Chengdu?"

"..."

"Convinced?" Zhuge Liang took another step closer to his nephew, and said coldly: "Ke'er, let alone the fact that the two countries are at war, I will not tolerate the enemy's infiltrating spies. You did not plan carefully, made arbitrarily assertive actions, and lost your entourage Your life comes first. You left without saying goodbye, causing your parents to worry later. I have to punish you under the laws of the country and family. Come—"

Two attendants from the Prime Minister's Mansion outside responded to the sound, bowed and waited for Zhuge Liang to show them off.

But listen to Zhuge Liang's stern voice: "Suppress Zhuge Ke, stick for twenty, and recuperate in the woodshed in the backyard to reflect on your mistakes."

The entourage looked at each other, thinking that no matter how naughty Mr. Qiao was when he was young, he had never been punished so severely by the prime minister, so he replied immediately: "Yes!"

"You! You are so majestic and abused lynching! What a hero--!" Zhuge Ke yelled.Zhuge Liang was turning around, intending to continue dealing with political affairs. Hearing this, he turned back and walked up to Zhuge Ke: "Ke'er, you are not wrong? You are smart and eloquent, you are more talented, and you are loved by Sun Quan. Or you can be an official to a minister. If you act so rashly and insult your superiors and inferiors, are you not afraid of harming your family? Uncle gave you a lot of admonitions today, I am afraid you will not listen. I just ask you, why did your father admonish you? What is this name? What is Ke? What is Yuanxun? If you can’t say it, give me another ten sticks.”

Jiang Wan thought, is this still difficult to answer?Although the prime minister is strict in enforcing the law, those who plead guilty and lose love will be released no matter how serious they are.If Zhuge Ke is willing to admit his mistakes and repent, the prime minister may reduce his sentence as appropriate.It's only two sentences, this kid won't be so stubborn that he won't even answer a few words, right?

But seeing Zhuge Ke staring at the roof proudly.Ren Zhuge Liang waited for him for a while, but he was too proud to answer a word.

Seeing this, Zhuge Liang finally said slowly: "Ke, you mean to be cautious and respectful. Your father wants you to plan far-reaching plans and think carefully. Be respectful and less contemptuous. The meaning of being humble is more obvious, but it wants you to learn to be humble. Please restrain your arrogance." As he said that, he ordered his followers: "Thirty stick duty. Don't beat me lightly."

"Yes!"

"You! You bastard! Father hasn't beaten me like that, how dare you—"

Zhuge Ke couldn't stop cursing, and after being dragged away by his attendants, Jiang Wan saw that although Zhuge Liang tried his best to maintain his normal expression, the feather fan in his hand was trembling slightly, which showed that he was very angry.Jiang Wan was slightly taken aback, Zhuge Liang was as gentle as a jade, as gentle as the wind, as stable as a mountain, and he was almost never seen getting angry.How can you be so angry for a younger generation now?He bowed his head and said, "Young master is young and ignorant, why should the prime minister be angry about this?"

"Am I angry because of him?" Zhuge Liang took a deep breath, calmed down, and then said: "It's not that elder brother can't raise children, but Ke'er is not something he can teach and control. It always depends on Sun Quan's love for this child. For the sake of my brother, I will be sympathetic, and I dare not scold too much, or hit me hard. He once lamented that although Ke'er is talented, he is not the son of the Bao family. When I saw him today, I felt that what my brother said was not bad. I'm afraid this child will be too headstrong in the future and bring trouble to the elder brother's family. If I had known this, I shouldn't have seen Qiao Er as a well-behaved boy, so I asked him to come here. If I brought Ke Er by my side to teach him, maybe he could become a useful talent..."

"Prime Minister...has far-reaching worries." Jiang Wan sighed, "Young Master Ke is so loved by the Prime Minister. The subordinates really envy him."

Zhuge Liang smiled and stared at him for a moment.As if nothing had happened, Jiang Wan bent down to pick up the official document that Zhuge Liang had finished replying on the table, and disappeared in a hurry.Zhuge Liang shook his head and sighed.

***

It was nearly midnight, and the moon was shining brightly all over the earth. On the thousands of miles of snowfield, the three of them galloped on horses.In front of you, the shadow of the pitch-black mountain is in sight.

The leader is a man dressed in a deep red and luxurious official uniform, wearing a sable crown, decorated with sable tails and cicada feathers.The other two are Habayashiro with white helmets and white armors. The plain feathers on the helmet tassels are in full swing, which contrast with the snow.

"Servant! The Wu guards have caught up!" Habayashi Lang Anguo shouted.

"It must be the follower sent by Zhuge Jin." Ma Liang said coldly: "Let the horse gallop! Lure him into the mountain and kill him!"

"Yes!"

A hundred feet behind them, three Wu guards rode side by side on horseback, chasing after them, gradually approaching.He kept calling Ma Shizhong to stay, and he must return the seal of General Suinan.

The three people in front only galloped their horses straight into the Yashan Mountain.Ma Liang found a place with lush trees on both sides, so he reined in his horse and stopped.The two Habayashis were also well-trained, and the three of them quickly dispersed and hid in the shadows of the bushes on both sides to ambush.

After a while, three Wu guards sent by Zhuge Jin also galloped into the mountain.When they came to this jungle, they couldn't see Ma Liang and the other three people in front of them. They became suspicious and slowed down at the same time. They were waiting to discuss how to proceed when they heard the sound of horseshoes on both sides. Someone laughed loudly and asked, "Servant He didn't take away General Zhuge's seal, so why are you chasing him so hard?"

One of the Wu guards woke up quickly and drew his sword immediately.The other two hadn't reacted yet, Anguo raised his sword and galloped over, raised the sword in his hand and dropped it, immediately decapitating one of them.While the Wu people shouted loudly, An Min also stabbed the other side's flank.In a rage, the two Wu people immediately turned their eyes red, and started a battle of trapped beasts. The four people on both sides fought desperately.

Ma Liang was lying in the bushes, holding the sword around his waist with his right hand.

Your Majesty, you used to laugh and tell your ministers to teach them how to practice swords.Today, the minister secretly regrets not listening to His Majesty's words.As a result, he must lie down in the dark, and cannot help the two Habayashiro.

In the fierce battle between the two sides, Liu Bei's Bai Yulin was the elite of the Han army after all, how could Zhuge Jin's bodyguard be his opponent.Not long after, he was hit by several swords and fell off the horse.The situation is extremely tragic when a person is about to die, desperately fighting for survival.Seeing that they were seriously injured and bleeding, the two Habayashirou had no strength to resist, so they drew their swords and bowed to Ma Liang to return.

Ma Liang walked out from the bushes, came to the two fallen Wu people, and sighed: "Let the two of them live here, why don't we wait for wild wolves to gnaw them?" Stabbed two people in the heart.

The two Habayashirou stared at him blankly, unable to speak.Blood was already spattered on Ma Liang's body, he simply lifted up his clothes and wiped the blood off the sword.Anguo saw that under the cold moonlight, Ma Shizhong's gentle and gentle face unexpectedly added a bit of cold and hard lines.He didn't dare to look any further, and he and his younger brother hurriedly searched for the half seal of the dead Wu man and handed it to Ma Liang.

Ma Liang took a look, smiled and nodded: "If Jingzhou is restored, I will show you two that they will take the lead together."

Anguo and his younger brother looked at each other, and said with a smile: "I don't dare to take credit for my lowly position, but I just ask the lieutenant general to lend me the sword in his hand?"

Ma Liang smiled heartily, and handed the sword to Anguo: "Just take a look. We have to hurry."

Anguo took the sword and looked at it carefully, he really felt the cold light was menacing.I heard that His Majesty used the iron ore of Jinniu Mountain to cast eight swords.Each is three feet six inches long.Your Majesty wears one for himself, and the other seven swords were given to the prime minister, the crown prince, Liang Wangli, Lu Wangyong, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun.The words on the eight swords were all written by the prime minister himself.The eight swords are made of the finest iron, and there are 64 more, which are distributed to civil servants and generals.According to legend, the most exquisite and sharpest of the 64 swords was worn by Ma Shizhong, but the words on the sword were written by Liu Bei himself.

He turned the sword over and over to look at it.An Min smiled and said, "Quickly see if this sword has a name?"

Ma Liang reached out and took the sword back.But An Guo still saw the two small words on the hilt of the sword under the bright moonlight.

"-thrush?"

"Hua, eyebrow?" An Min repeated, and couldn't help laughing: "What a unique and elegant name! Such a sharp sword has a gentle and beautiful name, just like serving someone..." He said and looked at Ma Liang saw that the other party took out a charcoal pencil from his pocket helplessly: "Since you want to make fun of me, I only allow you to make fun of it once. I can't teach Wu people to see my white eyebrows. Now there is no mirror... May I trouble you?"

Anguo and his younger brother looked at each other for a moment, and suddenly they burst out laughing together.An Min rushed forward first.But An Guo stopped him: "You haven't married a wife yet! You can't draw! What if the painting is ruined! Let me do it!"

"..." Ma Liang looked at the two of them, speechless.He is worthy of being His Majesty's personal guard.They have all learned from His Majesty's glib tongue.

An Min watched reluctantly as his elder brother went up to take the charcoal pen from Ma Liang, and said with a smile, "How lucky I am to share the joy of thrush with my attendant."

"Presumptuous!" Ma Liang scolded with a smile: "Hurry up! We still have to hurry."

So, under the moon and the barren mountains, the heroic white-robed Habayashiro gave his eyebrows a clear look.
