Multiverse: Beginning with Forced Binding

Chapter 509 Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage

Zhuge Liang learned that Liu Bei had come again after he came back. He felt that the time was right, so he would come out of retirement if Liu Bei came again. If he delayed any longer, he would lose his patience.

Zhuge Jun said that Liu Bei had also visited Chen's house, and Zhuge Liang was also curious about what Brother Qianhe thought of Liu Bei.

In the courtyard of Chen's house, Chen Xi lay lazily, holding a ball of hair that never grew up in his arms. Zhuge Liang was not surprised.

"What do you think?" Chen Xi looked up at the sky while speaking, without even glancing at Zhuge Liang: "Just look at it like that."

"Brother Qianhe, Liang is ready to come out of retirement to assist Liu Bei."

"Go if you want to. You're not to mention that it's quite suitable for you. You'll be reused if you go."

"Yes, Liang thought so too, but..." Zhuge Liang was a little entangled.

"If you have anything to say, just say it. I don't like to be nagging."

"Brother Qianhe is very talented. I have always admired him. If you don't come out, wouldn't it be a pity?"

"What do you mean? Do you think I am talented?"

"Brother Qianhe is good at both civil and military affairs, much better than Liang."

"According to what you said, Liu Bei had to invite you three times before you were willing to come out. How many times would he invite me, who is more talented than you?"

"Ah, this..."

"Liu Bei only came once, and he came to see the rabbits and grass. He has no sincerity at all. Why should I come out to help him?"

Zhuge Liang was speechless. The facts were in front of him. It was indeed that Liu Bei was not sincere enough, and Liu Bei did not understand the inside story.

The reason why Liu Bei valued Zhuge Liang so much was that he had created momentum before and spread his reputation, but Chen Xi's reputation... not many people knew about it.

It can be said that, apart from Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jun, outsiders only know one thing about Chen Xi: he can fight. No one knows that Chen Xi actually knows so much.

Seeing this situation, Chen Xi is unlikely to join Liu Bei's forces. Zhuge Liang is still worried and asks implicitly: "Brother Qianhe, do you think highly of Cao Cao?"

"Don't you just want to know whether I will defect to others? You are so slow."

Zhuge Liang laughed awkwardly: "Then what do you think, Brother Qianhe?"

"Not yet."

"Brother Qianhe doesn't even think highly of Cao Cao?" Zhuge Liang doesn't like Cao Cao's style, but he has to admit that Cao Cao's strength is really strong.

"It's not that I look down on him, but he may not think highly of me." Chen Xi joked: "A small boat is easy to turn around, Cao Cao's boat is too big, and he can't help himself in many things."

"Brother Qianhe, do you have any news that Liang doesn't know?"

"You will know it when you should know it."

Chen Xi didn't say it, so Zhuge Liang didn't ask any more questions.

Chen Xi couldn't say it either, he couldn't talk about the future.

Cao Cao was a good boss, as long as you have talent, you can be reused by Cao Cao, but Cao Cao was too suspicious in the later period, and Chen Xi's background made it difficult for him to get ahead because he joined Cao's camp late.

What if Chen Xi didn't get ahead when Cao Cao died, and Cao Pi came to power and came up with the Nine-Rank System, then he would be completely useless.

Without family background, you can't be reused, and you have to go to work every day. How can such a life be as comfortable as seclusion?

As for Liu Bei, it's not that Chen Xi looked down on Liu Bei, but that the time was not right.

In order to become the first person under Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang started to build momentum early in the morning, just to make Liu Bei pay attention.

It makes no sense that Chen Xi couldn't think of what Zhuge Liang thought of, right?

Chen Xi didn't need to build momentum, he just needed to control Zhuge Liang.

Others were building momentum for Zhuge Liang, and when Zhuge Liang joined Liu Bei, he would naturally build momentum for Chen Xi.

Just wait and see. As long as Zhuge Liang follows Liu Bei, the first thing he thinks about is how to dig Chen Xi away. He will explain Chen Xi's importance to Liu Bei.

At that time, it depends on Liu Bei's sincerity. If the sincerity is enough, Chen Xi will not mind coming out of the mountain to change the future changes in Jingzhou, otherwise he will stay in seclusion.

Zhuge Liang also saw that Brother Qianhe was not unwilling to come out of the mountain, he wanted to see sincerity, and he couldn't do it now, so he would wait until later.

With a wife at home, Zhuge Liang didn't eat at Chen's house, and went back first.

Zhuge Jun was not polite and stayed at Chen's house directly. The food at Chen's house was much better than his sister-in-law's cooking.

After dinner, Zhuge Jun left Chen's house with satisfaction, and Chen Xi sat in the yard and stroked the cat.

Kawakami Tomie accompanied him and asked, "Are you really going to help Liu Bei?"

"I'm fine with anything. It doesn't make any difference to me whether I come out of the mountain or not."

"I saw that you seemed to have something to say in the afternoon, but you swallowed it back."

"Well, I wanted to give Zhuge Liang some advice, but then I thought, forget it. There's no point in saying anything that hasn't happened."

"What do you want to tell him?"

"He thinks highly of Liu Bei and wants to help him retain and revive the Han Dynasty, but Liu Bei wants more than that."

"Are you afraid that Zhuge Liang's ideals will collapse? "

"There will always be a little bit. It would be a lie to say that I am not disappointed." Chen Xi thought for a while and smiled: "Fortunately, this world is dominated by "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". "

"What do you mean?"

"Romance is not as serious as official history, nor as sad as it is."

"Boss, how did you figure it out?"

"Burning Bowangpo, it should have been burned by Liu Bei in the official history, and it should have happened a long time ago, but there has been no movement until now, it is obviously left for Zhuge Liang."

"I see, the credit given to Zhuge Liang in the romance."

"Yes, I don't know if the development of the situation will become like the official history. If that's the case, I feel sorry for Zhuge Liang."

"Why do you say that?"

"Zhuge Liang wanted to restore the Han Dynasty, and Liu Bei also used such a political slogan, but he wanted to be the emperor himself. It feels like Xun Yu assisting Cao Cao. The original intention was good, but then it changed."

"It's a bit bad to think about it this way."

"Really? I remember that in the official history, because of Liu Bei's ambition, the monarch and his ministers had a very unpleasant quarrel. In the later period, Liu Bei valued Fa Zheng, and Zhuge Liang seemed to be banished to the cold palace."

"Then why did Liu Bei entrust his son to Zhuge Liang?"

"If he didn't entrust his son to Zhuge Liang, what could he entrust? Who should I give it to? At that time, Fa Zheng and Pang Tong were both dead. In terms of character, who can be trusted like Zhuge Liang? Liu Bei is bullying an honest man. "

"So what you wanted to say to Zhuge Liang before was related to this matter?"

"Well, I wanted to tell him not to trust Liu Bei too much, but seeing his look, forget it. At least he still has light in his eyes now."

"What about the future? You can bear not to say it. After all, you watched Brother Zhuge grow up."

"Let's talk about the future later. After Adou is officially named, I believe Zhuge Liang can see it a little bit."

"Liu Chan?"

"Huh! The adopted son is called Liu Feng, and the biological son is called Liu Chan. Feng Chan, this ambition is not hidden from others. , shouting about restoring the Han Dynasty, I don't believe that those people under Liu Bei can't see it. "

"Then they..."

"Just pretend not to know. For their own interests, of course it is better for Liu Bei to take the throne. The higher Liu Bei's status, the higher their official positions. As for the real Emperor Xian of Han, who cares?"

"Zhuge Liang cares."

"That's why he feels uncomfortable. The greatest sorrow of an idealist is the collapse of his ideals."

"I understand why Xun Yu doesn't want to live."

"As you said, I watched Zhuge Liang grow up. For him, I will also consider coming out of retirement. If I am close to him, I can teach him more."

"Teach him what?"

"Teach him how to rule the country." ”

“Can it be done?”

“It’s difficult. Those who have accomplished great things have a firm mind, which is far beyond the reach of ordinary people. We can only do our best.”

“Boss, you really have a caring heart for Zhuge Liang.”

“Who among the future generations doesn’t like Zhuge Liang? Apart from other things, just talking about his character, he is a good person, so good people should not have a bad ending.”

“In fact, there are countless cases where good people don’t get good rewards.”

“Tomie, if you keep talking, I can’t help but want to destroy the whole world.”

“Then destroy it, humans are not worth it.”

“Hahaha!” Chen Xi laughed loudly, and after laughing, he was indeed a little sad.

Not only Chen Xi, but also Kawakami Tomie and Yingwei were the same. They were getting more and more out of the human category. It seemed that they didn’t care about anything. Even destroying humans was just a thought.

"So... this is not good. Traveling through time too much can easily affect our will." Chen Xi sighed, lit a cigarette, and began to miss Li Chuqing. With her around, she should be able to keep an eye on him.

Seeing that Zhuge Liang was about to leave the mountain, the person who suffered the most was Zhuge Jun.

When Zhuge Liang left the mountain, Zhuge Jun would definitely leave with him, so let's do special training before this kid leaves.

Basically, Zhuge Jun was either beaten up or attending classes and sand table exercises with injuries all over his body every day. If he lost, he would be beaten again.

Zhuge Jun: o(╥﹏╥)o

He was always fine, why did he suddenly change his education policy?

In order to train Zhuge Jun, the shadow guard took this kid away from Longzhong Village and found a place with bandits, with the purpose of letting this kid see blood.

Without experiencing a real life-and-death fight, it was just talk on paper. If you are weak on the battlefield, you will definitely die.

Zhuge Jun was indeed not used to it. Martial arts training was one thing, but killing was another. When he killed the first enemy, his face turned pale.

Reality did not allow him to feel the feeling after killing. The enemy rushed up again. If he did not kill the enemy, he would die.

Pressure became motivation. His brain, which had been thinking wildly, was emptied again, and he focused on fighting.

Zhuge Jun rode a horse with a gun, moving among the enemies, not daring to pause for a moment, for fear of being dragged off the horse by the enemy.

The shadow guard stood behind, with his hands folded beside him, watching silently, with no intention of intervening at all. If there were any blind bandits who were looking for trouble with him, he would kill them with a knife.

Zhuge Jun finally fell off his horse. His horse was injured and he knelt on the ground. He fell off his horse. Fortunately, he reacted in time, threw away his spear, drew the saber at his waist, and faced the enemy again.

Zhuge Jun fought and moved at the same time, so as not to fall into an encirclement, so as not to be besieged, and killed the bandits who caught up with him like flying a kite.

As the killing continued, the bandits also felt that they could not continue like this. Seeing that they could not win, they simply abandoned Zhuge Jun and retreated.

After Zhuge Jun and the other bandits retreated, he sat down on the ground, gasping for breath, with a distorted expression on his face. This was because of the pain.

Even if he was wearing armor, he could not be unscathed. Only the fatal parts were protected, but he was still injured in several places.

Zhuge Jun's armor, weapons, body, and face were all covered with blood, most of which was from the enemy, and some were from himself.

At this time, Zhuge Jun was frightened. Looking at the eyes of the shadow guard, his pupils were shaking.

"This is just the beginning. When you are really on the battlefield, it will be much more dangerous than this. You still need to practice more."

Zhuge Jun could not hear anything. He was panicking.

The shadow guard helped Zhuge Jun treat his wounds and applied herbal medicine. When the boy's injuries were almost recovered, a new round of fighting began.

Zhuge Jun's actual combat experience was increasing rapidly. When he returned to Longzhong again, his temperament had changed. There were more than ten scars on his body.

The most obvious scar was on his face. Zhuge Liang felt very distressed when he saw it.

Zhuge Jun didn't take it seriously. He had been brainwashed by the shadow guard: "Scars are men's medals. Second brother, don't make such an expression. I am tired of seeing it."

When Liu Bei came to visit Zhuge Liang for the third time, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were very keenly aware of Zhuge Jun's changes. This kid... has something.

Zhuge Jun was still blocked at the door of his house. He bowed and said nothing more. He rode his horse to Chen's house.

After he left, Guan Yu spoke faintly: "It's different after seeing blood."

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "He is still a little immature. He can't hide the fierce light in his eyes. When he can stop taking killing seriously, this kid will be trained."

Just like the shadow guard, he looks like an ordinary person. Liu Bei can't feel anything. Only Guan Yu and Zhang Fei can detect it.

Zhuge Jun is not good enough. He is like a sword out of the sheath. He is sharp enough, but he doesn't know how to hide.

The best in this regard is Chen Xi. He looks like a rich young man. Even Guan Yu and Zhang Fei can't detect the danger of Chen Xi.

Zhuge Jun is much better than when he just came back. He goes to Chen's house now to learn how to cultivate his sentiments and suppress his murderous intentions.

Zhuge Jun followed the shadow guard to learn ironwork. He originally wanted to learn painting from Chen Xi, but when he saw Chen Xi's paintings, the young man was shy and turned around and ran away.

Chen Xi: ╮(╯▽╰)╭

I just painted a picture of "Ladies and Bells", it's not that serious.

Not to mention, the style of ink painting is matched with the ladies wearing black silk, which is really unique.

It's a pity that Zhuge Jun is a little simple and can't pass on his painting skills. Then he should learn ironwork and be a real rough man.

Liu Bei waited outside obediently, waiting for Zhuge Liang to wake up, and then had a long talk in the thatched cottage in Longzhong, and determined the future political direction.

Liu Bei, who had been confused, saw for the first time how to go in the future, and couldn't help but be overjoyed. This pie is well drawn, and it belongs to the kind that you hope to eat.

Liu Bei immediately invited Zhuge Liang to come out of seclusion to assist him. As long as you come, you will be second to none.

Zhuge Liang got the position he wanted and readily agreed.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were not very happy. They had already gone through so much trouble for this young man three times. Is he really that talented?

Seeing how much the eldest brother valued Zhuge Liang, the two brothers felt bad and wanted to ask Liu Bei, aren't we your favorite babies?
