"Hey? Look, isn't that Zhuge Kongming?"

In the hall, a group of Jiangdong celebrities who had just been scolded by Zhuge Liang as idiots saw Zhuge Liang walking out of the reception room of Wu Hou Sun Quan in a state of despair.

They were immediately surprised.

They all looked at him sideways.

"Yes, it's Kongming!"

"Wasn't he still puffing his lips and talking just now?"

"Why did he become like this just after entering this small space?"

"Could it be that Wu Hou couldn't stand him being so arrogant and scolded him?"

One of them shook his head and said, "Wu Hou respects the wise and humbles himself. I think even if Kongming doesn't know his place, Wu Hou will only leave in anger and won't scold Kongming."

"That's strange. Why did Kongming become like this?"

Just then, Huang Gai came over.

One of the soldiers rushed forward and grabbed Huang Gai, asking:

"General Huang, you are responsible for receiving people for Wu Hou today. We want to ask you, who went to Wu Hou's reception room just now?"

After listening, Huang Gai glanced at the man:

"It turned out to be Bu Zishan, why are you asking these questions?"

Bu Zhi smiled and said, "Just now I saw Kong Ming walked out with his head down, as if he had lost his parents."

"I guess someone in Wu Hou's hall dampened his spirit, but I don't know who this person is, so I asked."

Huang Gai found it incredible when he heard it:

"I was not in the reception room just now, but I did receive someone before Kong Ming."

After hearing this, Bu Zhi and others hurried over and asked:

"Who?"

Although Huang Gai looked down on these people, he didn't like to lie.

So he confessed, "This man's name is Tang Jian, with the courtesy name Jianming. He was hired by the lord for a large sum of money."

Bu Zhi hurriedly asked, "Did he make Kong Ming lose his mind by arguing?"

Huang Gai shook his head and said, "I don't know about these. Well, I have business to attend to, so I won't gossip with you guys."

After that, he symbolically clasped his fists and strode away.

"Hiss..."

The celebrities looked at each other in surprise.

"Who is this Tang Jianming? There are so many talented people under the command of Wu Hou, why did he spend a lot of money to hire him?"

As he was talking, he saw someone coming out from the back hall talking.

One was Wu Hou Sun Quan, and the other one he had never seen.

There was another person behind him, Lu Su.

Sun Quan, however, was very enthusiastic. He held the man's hand and said as he walked:

"What Jianming said is very much in line with my opinion."

"Then, I will do as Jianming said and discuss this matter after Gongjin comes back."

Tang Jian nodded and said, "There is one more thing, and I hope that Marquis Wu can help me solve it."

Sun Quan asked, "What else does Jianming want?"

Tang Jian said, "My three thousand vanguard troops have arrived in Jianye. Please ask Marquis Wu to arrange a place for me to station troops so as not to disturb the people."

After hearing this, Sun Quan hurriedly said, "Oh! I neglected this matter."

"I will ask someone to arrange a place for Jianming to station troops."

Tang Jian nodded, "Marquis Wu, send him here. I will come to talk tomorrow."

Sun Quan then let go of his hand and said with a smile:

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

Tang Jian turned around and left with Lu Kuang.

After seeing Tang Jian leave, Sun Quan secretly wondered: "This man defeated Kong Ming, but he kept it a secret from me."

"Kong Ming is a real celebrity, but this man has an unknown origin, and has a history of killing his master and surrendering the city. He also concealed the truth from me. With such behavior, I am afraid he cannot be reused!"

So, Sun Quan secretly made up his mind to keep Tang Jian for observation for a while before deciding whether to use him or not.

Sun Quan turned around and said a few words to Lu Su, and then Lu Su nodded.

Sun Quan went back.

Lu Su was walking out, and after a few steps, he was blocked by a large group of people.

Lu Su was immediately shocked!

I thought so many people were going to beat him up, but I didn't expect that everyone was friendly and smiling.

It was completely different from when he was beaten up by Kong Ming just now!

"Mr. Zijing."

"Lord Lu."

These people came up and greeted each other, making Lu Su a little overwhelmed.

"What do you want, sirs?"

It was still Bu Zhi who spoke quickly and asked, "Is the person who was just sent out by the Marquis of Wu personally surnamed Tang, named Jian, and styled Jianming?"

Lu Su nodded, "Yes."

Bu Zhi asked again, "Then, when Lord Lu brought Kong Ming to see the Marquis of Wu, was this person also present?"

Lu Su replied, "Yes."

Bu Zhi asked again, "Did Zhuge Kong Ming debate with this person?"

Lu Su also replied, "Yes."

The answer was obvious now!

Bu Zhi asked almost excitedly, "Then, who would win in the debate between Kong Ming and this person?"

Lu Su looked up and sawSeeing these people whose thirst for knowledge suddenly surged, he nodded helplessly and said:

"Tang Jianming is more skilled, Kong Ming lost."

"Ah!!!!"

"Oh! It feels so good!"

"Great!"

"I didn't expect Kong Ming to be like this! Haha!"

"There is always someone stronger than you, and there is always someone better than you!"

The scene suddenly became lively!

A group of celebrities cheered and celebrated!

Lu Su was speechless, sighed secretly, and said: "I have something else to do, gentlemen, excuse me."

Who knew that Bu Zhi stepped forward and stopped Lu Su and said:

"Master Lu, don't leave in a hurry, I have another question."

"What is Mr. Jianming's official position? Where does he live now?"

"Please tell me, Master Lu, so that we can go to meet him and make friends with him."

Lu Su said helplessly: "Tang Jian is a mercenary leader, hired by the Marquis of Wu, and now stationed outside the city."

After saying that, he ignored these people and walked away.

Lu Su's answer, however, made these people fall into deep self-doubt again.

"What? Mercenaries...leader?"

"Isn't it the business of sailing and riding horses, and bodyguards delivering goods?"

"This, this, this...how can this be a disgrace?"

"As celebrities, how can we lower ourselves and make friends with such people?"

"Forget it, forget it. Even if he has some talents, he is just a humble person. Why should we humiliate ourselves and make friends with such people?"

"That's right..."

The crowd dispersed again in the midst of discussions.

However, these people were very noble in words, but very honest in their hearts.

After leaving the house and getting on the carriage, although they were heading in other directions on the surface.

But after turning a few corners, they all took the road to the outside of the city.

After all, monopolizing talents is the strongest weapon in this era of aristocratic family rule!

If they recruited a person like Tang Jian who could refute Zhuge Kongming, it would be like picking up a huge treasure!

Although he said he disliked her, he loved her to death in his heart.

After turning a few streets, Bu Zhi met Zhang Zhao at the intersection.

"Hey? Lord Zhang, aren't you going back home? Why are you here?"

Zhang Zhao listened and said calmly:

"If I remember correctly, Zishan's residence doesn't seem to be in this direction."

Bu Zhi smiled and said, "I ate a little too much in the morning, so I want to go out of the city to walk around and digest the food."

Zhang Zhao smiled and said, "That's really a coincidence. I also have a bloated stomach, and I just want to go out of the city to digest the food."

Bu Zhi had no choice but to say, "Then why don't you and I go together?"

Zhang Zhao smiled and then shrank into the carriage.

At another intersection in the city, two carriages also met.

"Hey? Brother Gongji, why are you taking this road too?"

"I remember you live in the west city?"
