It was originally the third update, but something happened. Please forgive me for missing an update. I will make up for it tomorrow morning.
******************************************
The mountains are empty and the water is misty. The blue waves are vast and the boats are sparkling.
Chaisang City stands near the water. The city is high and the pond is deep. Flags were fluttering on the city, and pedestrians were flocking below the city.
The ship Zhuge Liang was riding along the waterway of Chaisang City, flanked by armored soldiers on both sides, slowly sailed into Chaisang City and docked at a special port.
After dropping the anchor and setting the ship, Zhuge Liang gave a few instructions to Yin Kuang and others, then shook his robes and got off the ship with a gentle swing of his feather fan.
As soon as they got off the boat, Yin Kuang and others heard a hearty laughter. Looking up, they saw a burly civil servant in blue coming over from a distance and calling: "Mr. Zhuge."
Zhuge Liang held the fan and cupped his hands and responded with a smile: "Brother Zijing."
Yin Kuang and others nodded secretly. It seems that this man dressed as a civil servant in blue is Lu Su, one of the important officials of Soochow. Lu Zijing. However, before Yin Kuang and others could listen to Zhuge Liang and Lu Su's chatter, their eyes were attracted by the two figures behind Lu Su.
Tan Shengge and another boy from Class 1207 had an impression, but they didn't know what it was called.
When an acquaintance met, he was stunned at first, but then Tan Shengge across from him smiled and said hello. Don't reach out to hit the smiling person, not to mention they don't have any grudge against Tan Shengge, so Yin Kuang and others will naturally smile in return.
As for what thoughts are hidden behind the smile, only each of them knows.
Zhuge Liang and Lu Su also finished their greetings, and Lu Su said: "Mr. Zhuge, please come with me to meet the Marquis of Wu." Zhuge Liang said: "That's very good." After saying that, Zhuge Liang turned to look at Yin Kuang and others. , said: "You guys go to the post house to rest for now."
Yin Kuang said quickly: "But military advisor, your safety..."
Before Zhuge Liang could answer, Lu Su on the side became unhappy and scolded: "You kid, you are so talkative and so rude! This is under the rule of Wu Hou, who dares to hurt Mr. Zhuge?"
Even though Lu Su was amiable towards Zhuge Liang, when facing Yin Kuang, he showed his fierce look. However, facing such a civil servant, his angry aura actually made Yin Kuang and others feel like they couldn't breathe.
At this moment, Yin Kuang suddenly remembered that among the principal's prompts in this exam, there was "strategists cannot adapt to 'strategy'." With such a sentence, he couldn't help but think: "It seems that this counselor in the Three Kingdoms world also has special abilities. .”
Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Zijing, you scared them."
"Mr. Zhuge, you guards are so ungrateful."
"Zijing, calm down, calm down. They are also thinking about my safety. The situation is excusable, the situation is excusable." After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, he said to Yin Kuang and others: "As Zijing said, this is the seat of the Marquis of Wu. No one will do anything against me. You don’t need to worry about me.”
Yin Kuang didn't want to do this thankless task yet, so he said "yes".
Lu Su waved, and Tan Sheng, who was the only one behind, and another boy from Class 1207 came up, bowed their hands, waited for orders, and said, "Sir." Lu Su waved his hand and said, "Take them to the post house. It’s a pleasure to entertain you. Don’t let others think that I, Soochow, don’t know etiquette.” After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and extended his hand to Zhuge Liang, “Mr. Zhuge, please.”
"Your respect is due."
In this way, the two people left the port talking and laughing. A pair of guards followed closely to protect him.
"This Lu Su, I didn't expect him to be such a stingy person." Bai Lu curled his lips. Wei Ming said: "It's really stingy." The others were speechless after hearing this. Tan Shengge stepped forward, shook hands with Yin Kuang, and said: "Scholars all like to save face. Especially these big people in Soochow, they especially value reputation. Although you have good intentions, Yin Kuang, but you brushed their faces, you are asking Lu How can Su give you a good look?"
Yin Kuang heard this and said, "That's it."
"Haha." Tan Shengge smiled, then pointed to the classmate next to him and said, "Let me introduce him, he is Du Kangan."
Du Kangan is an ordinary young man. If there is anything special about him, his eyebrows are very thick, his eyes are slightly small, his nose is a bit big, and his chin is slightly pointed. He is not very temperamental, but rather a bit rustic. Although Yin Kuang couldn't tell what rusticity was, he was still a little sensitive to the appearance shown by Du Kangan as he was from the countryside.
Yin Kuang stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Hello. My name is Yin Kuang."
Du Kangan shook hands with Yin Kuang and said, "I've heard your name a long time ago. Nice to meet you."
"Have you just heard the name?" Yin Kuang sharply captured the words in Du Kangan's words. Tan Shengge seemed to know what Yin Kuang was thinking, and said: "Actually, Lao Du rarely has contact with the outside world. Apart from going to class, he basically just stays in his room and doesn't know what to do." Yin Kuang nodded and asked: "Are you also from? Are you from the countryside?"
Du Kangan was stunned and said, "Yes. How do you know?"
"Haha. Because I'm just like you." Yin Kuang said: "I can't forget the earthy smell of the south." Du Kangan smiled, "I can't forget it either."
After that, Du Kangan got to know each other a little bit more with the other people. Tan Shengge said: "Okay, don't stay here anymore. You are tired from coming all the way. I will take you to the post house. You can rest first."
"Um."
On the way to the post house, Yin Kuang, Bai Lu, Wei Ming and others finally saw the prosperity of Chaisang City. As I walked along, my ears were buzzing with all kinds of noisy sounds. As far as the eye can see, there are all kinds of pedestrians, all kinds of vendors, and even some people dressed strangely. The wide variety of products on the street also attracted the attention of girls such as Tang Rouyu. Especially rouge, gouache, and beautiful clothes. Even Bai Lu and Wei Ming, who couldn't take any time off, ran around and came back soon with a bunch of things.
Seeing them running around, Yin Kuang couldn't help but said: "I didn't expect Soochow to be so prosperous."
Tan Shengge said: "Is it prosperous? Haha, this is the seat of Soochow, as it should be. However, when Cao Cao's army arrives, this place... will become a sea of fire and blood. This kind of prosperity without the protection of force, It can’t be sustained for long.”
Yin Kuang listened and said: "That makes sense. So... So, you hope that Sun and Liu can form an alliance?"
Tan Shengge stopped, looked at Yin Kuang, and said: "An alliance is inevitable. Excluding the history we are familiar with, no matter what, if the Sun and Liu families want to survive Cao Cao's military attack, alliance is the only way."
Yin Kuang gave a noncommittal "hmm" and said: "History is indeed like this. But we are in history now. You have also heard of the famous butterfly effect. Any small change may cause unpredictable results. .”
"You mean, someone will cause destruction?" Tan Shengge smiled and said: "However, the world also has inertia. Unless you obtain the precious 'plot twist', and this 'plot twist' must reach a certain level degree, otherwise the inertia of the world will still push the plot to develop in the established direction. So I want to say... "
"Those who are assigned to Cao Cao's side are really unlucky." Yin Kuang continued Tan Shengge's words.
Tan Shengge laughed "haha", "Actually, this can be regarded as a kind of balance for the principal. Because in history, Cao Cao lost and the Sun-Liu Alliance won. However, it is undeniable that Cao Cao is definitely the strongest in the world. If the arrangements are done properly, the chance of victory is quite high. In addition, it’s hard to say whether it’s unlucky or lucky. In fact, from the moment we enter this world scene, this is our stage.”
"stage?"
Tan Shengge said: "Isn't it? Our stage. This is the stage where we display our talents. Maybe we may die again, but death can't stop the actors on the stage from performing, can it? What's more, death, It’s also a kind of performance. It just depends on who’s death is valuable and whose performance is more exciting.”
Yin Kuang said: "Your idea is quite strange."
"So," Tan Shengge suddenly looked at Yin Kuang and said, "Are you really on Liu Bei's side?"
"..." Yin Kuang said with a smile: "What about you? Are you really on Sun Quan's side?"
Tan Shengge smiled and said, "Haha. What do you think?"
After hearing this, Yin Kuang's face changed slightly, but it was quickly covered up, and then he smiled bitterly, "As expected. What a good plan by the principal."
Tan Shengge said: "Who says it's not the case? By the way, why didn't you see Li Shuangmu and that Wang Ning?" Yin Kuang didn't hide anything. In fact, he had nothing to hide, saying: "Li Shuangmu and Zhong Limo followed Guan Yu. I I haven’t seen them until today. As for Wang Ning, he was sent out by Zhuge Liang to perform a secret mission, and I don’t know where he is.”
"I see."
We walked and chatted along the way, passed through the lively market, walked for a while on the quiet Yellowstone Road, and arrived outside the post house. Tan Shengge said: "The post house has arrived."
"Thank you."
"polite."
As the Romans do in the countryside, the two of them said goodbye with a cup of hands.
Looking at the retreating figures of Tan Shengge and Du Kangan, Tang Rouyu asked Yin Kuang, "How is it?"
"This Tan Shengge is an extraordinary person. I originally thought he would test me in a roundabout way, but I didn't expect that he would ask directly. Now, everything is clear."
Zeng Fei, who had been relatively silent, seemed to realize something was wrong: "What do you mean?"
Yin Kuang said: "Let's go in first and talk about it later."
