Ma Chao nodded, took out the letter of letter written by Zhuge Jin to him, and said, "This is a letter written by Mr. Zhuge. Take it to Jingzhou to meet Xu Shu, and the other party will send us to Shouchun to meet General Lu Bu!" Then he said to several people, "Don't go anywhere in the past two days, just stay at home." Several younger brothers and sisters nodded.

Seeing Ma Yunlu frowning, Ma Chao couldn't help but ask, "Yunlu, do you have any worries?" Ma Yunlu couldn't help looking at Ma Chao and said, "Brother, will we get reused when we go to Lu Bu?" Ma Chao was stunned and frowned and said, "It should be! I have seen Lu Bu before. Although the world has a bad evaluation of him, in my opinion, he is one of the few heroes in the world, a great husband with a open mind! If I go to join him, he should not underestimate me!"

Ma Yunlu couldn't help but sigh and said, "I hope it's as my elder brother said!" Seeing that the girl was not very happy, Ma Chao smiled and joked, "Yunlu couldn't let go of that Liu Chan, so he was like this, right?" The brothers burst into laughter, Ma Yunlu's face was flushed with shame, and said angrily, "Brother, you're talking nonsense! How could I treat him or him like that..."

At this moment, a personal soldier rushed in and reported: "General, the lord has sent someone!" Everyone was shocked, and Ma Dai couldn't help but shout, "It's not our plan that was discovered, right?" Ma Chao said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense! Only a few people around me know about this, how can Liu Bei know about it!" Then he walked out of the hall and several younger brothers and sisters quickly followed.

When Ma Chao came to the gate, he saw that only an eunuch from Liu Bei's mansion came. He immediately let go of his concern. He immediately went forward and asked with his fists, "You are here suddenly, but the lord has something to do?" The eunuch immediately bowed and said, "It's nothing important. It's just that the lord will send General Lu Bu's envoy back tomorrow morning, so he sent a villain to inform the general and ask the general to come to the hall tomorrow morning to meet with everyone to have a farewell to the general envoy!" Ma Chao said with an oh, clasped his fists and said, "Please repay your lord, just say I'm unwell, and I don't like this kind of etiquette, so I won't go." The eunuch seemed to know Ma Chao's personality, and did not persuade him, so he left.

The eunuch returned to the governor's mansion and repaid Ma Chao's words to Liu Bei in its original form. Liu Bei didn't say anything, but there was a clear look of displeasure in his eyes.

Zhuge Liang glanced at Liu Bei, sighed secretly, but said nothing. In fact, Zhuge Liang had already persuaded Liu Bei to reuse Ma Chao. However, Liu Bei was always afraid of Ma Chao's reputation and was worried that one day Ma Chao would gain real power would be a big deal, so he rejected Zhuge Liang's request.

Mi Fang, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but clasp his fists and said, "Lord, Ma Chao is resentful to the lord! Although the lord is generous and does not care about it, this matter is ultimately a hidden danger!..." Zhuge Liang frowned and looked at Mi Fang with a very sharp look. Mi Fang was about to continue speaking, but was shocked by Zhuge Liang's eyes, and he couldn't say the following words! But who is Liu Bei? He heard Xuan Ge and knew the elegant meaning, and immediately understood the unfinished meaning in Mi Fang's words, as if he was a little moved.

Zhuge Liang noticed Liu Bei's eyes and couldn't help but feel shocked. He quickly clasped his fists and said, "Lord, although General Ma Chao is rude, he has made great contributions to the lord after all! If he had an accident, wouldn't it make all the heroes in the world feel disappointed with the lord? This is harmful to the lord's ambition but not beneficial. Please think twice!" Liu Bei frowned, nodded slowly, and then scolded Mi Fang and said, "How can you offer this vicious plan? Is it to put me injustice?" Zhuge Liang felt relieved when he saw this. Mi Fang apologized repeatedly, but was very depressed. Zhuge Liang glanced at Liu Bei, and felt a little tired.

As night fell, Zhuge Jin stood in front of the lobby of the guest hall, staring at the moonlight in the sky in a daze. At this time, a follower led Zhuge Liang, who was wearing a feather fan, a turban, and a white dress, in. Zhuge Jin was not surprised and happy.

Zhuge Liang bowed to Zhuge Jin and said, "Brother!" Zhuge Jin sighed and said, "Kongming, I have been in Chengdu for several days, but why did you not come to see me until today?" Zhuge Liang apologized and said, "Brother, I have too much extravagance, so I can't get out of it!" Zhuge Jin reached out and grabbed Zhuge Liang's palm and pulled him into the hall, laughing and said, "Kongming, you are just taking risks!" Zhuge Liang smiled but did not deny it.

Zhuge Jin pulled Zhuge Liang to the hall, and immediately asked him to sit in the guest chief, and Zhuge Jin himself knelt down at the opposite position. At this time, a follower brought tea and bowed down. Zhuge Jin smiled and said, "This tea is brewed with the new West Lake tea I brought. Kong Ming tasted it." Zhuge Liang picked up the teacup, smelled it, then took a sip, nodded and praised, "The fragrance is elegant, it looks like a illusion and reality. It is worthy of being the product of Xizi's hometown, and it has a fairy charm!"

Zhuge Jin smiled slightly and said, "If Kong Ming likes it, why not come to Shouchun. Kong Ming is ten times more talented than me. If he can serve his lord, he will be like a fish in water!" Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Brother, do you think I am the kind of person who is fickle?" Zhuge Jin said, "This is not fickle, but good ministers choose their masters to do things! As an envoy, I shouldn't say something, but Kong Ming and I are close friends, so I will not avoid suspicion! Liu Bei seems to be kind and righteous, but in fact he is a villain who is a difficult person, and he says it in his mouth

It is to support the Han Dynasty, but in fact it is just to achieve the hegemony of his family! Moreover, it is narrow-minded and intimate. Liu Bei only guards against the talent like Ma Chao, but it is obvious that Liu Bei only believes in Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the two sworn brothers, as well as Mi Zhu and other relatives. Humph, it is a dream to fight for dominance in the world in this way! I think Kong Ming can never realize his ambitions under him! Kong Ming, you are a great person who is full of great talents, wouldn’t it be a pity to waste it here?"

Zhuge Liang was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled, clasped his fists and said, "I am grateful for my sincere words! However, since I have followed my lord, I will never give up and turn to others halfway!" I couldn't help but sigh and said, "If this body really cannot realize its ambitions, it's because of the number of days. No wonder others!"

Zhuge Jin looked at Zhuge Liang and suddenly said, "Did Kong Ming have a knot about his lord because of Mrs. Huang Yueying's affairs? What a character, but why can't he look down on this matter? And all this is Mrs. Huang Yueying's own decision. The lord is actually in a passive position. Kong Ming resents his lord because of this. Don't he feel a little narrow-minded?"

Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly and said, "Whatever your brother thinks, but I will never turn my mind away from my lord!"

Zhuge Jin couldn't help but feel annoyed when he saw that his heartfelt words could not move Zhuge Liang too much. Then he sighed helplessly. He glanced at Zhuge Liang and said, "Since Kong Ming, you have said this, what else can I say? But Kong Ming, you should be careful to do things under Liu Bei in the future! I think Liu Bei is very suspicious. You and Brother Yu are brothers of the same mother and brother. Brother Yu is now working under the command of the general, so it is inevitable that Liu Bei's suspicion will arouse Liu Bei's suspicion. If the future is not going well, you can come over at any time. As the saying goes, the elder brother is like a father. Brother Yu really hopes that our family can be reunited!"

Zhuge Liang couldn't help but feel moved, and clasped his fists and said, "I have written down all my words with my brother!" Zhuge Jin nodded and couldn't help but sigh.

Zhuge Liang asked, "Brother, I wonder if the two sisters are good now?" Zhuge Jin smiled, "You two sisters are both very good. I went to Shouchun not long ago, and they all praised the place under the lord's governance!" Zhuge Liang smiled slightly and said, "The two sisters are not young anymore. Brothers should find a suitable husband's family for them! Under the command of the general, there are always civil and military talents. I think there is always a suitable candidate, right?"

Zhuge Jin nodded and said, "What Kong Ming said is that I, the elder brother, should consider this matter!"

The two brothers chatted while drinking tea, and time passed without realizing that time was passing. Da! Da! Da! Da! When there was a sudden sound of rushing to the outside, it was already the third day of the morning. Zhuge Liang stood up and clasped his fists at Zhuge Jin and said, "Brother, it's getting late, I should say goodbye!" Zhuge Jin stood up and said, "Kong Ming, if this is the case, it will arouse Liu Bei's suspicion. You really shouldn't serve such a person!" Zhuge Liang smiled slightly and said, "Brother, brother."

Don't talk about this anymore." Zhuge Jin couldn't help but sigh and said, "I'll send Kong Ming out!" Then the two brothers left the hall together until the gate. Zhuge Liang bowed and said, "Brother, stay, let me go!" Then he looked at Zhuge Jin and said, "The mountains are high and the rivers are long. I don't know if there is a chance to see my brother and two sisters again!" Zhuge Jin couldn't help but sigh in his heart, patted Zhuge Liang on the shoulder, clasped his fists and said, "Kong Ming, take care of him!"

Zhuge Liang bowed deeply to Zhuge Jin, then turned around and drove slowly to the distance. Zhuge Jin looked at the figure of the carriage leaving, couldn't help but sigh and murmured: "Kong Ming, although you have extraordinary talents, you have a pity that you are a little stubborn!"

His eyes turned back to Huainan. Ailang came to the door of the Bu family alone in casual clothes. It turned out that Ailang had received an invitation from Mr. Bu Lian himself not long ago. Today is her 16th birthday, so he invited Ailang to her house for a banquet.

Ailang looked up at the portal in front of him, and saw that the portal was high and wide, with red paint and copper bubbles, and looked extraordinary. Ailang felt admiration, and felt that it was not easy for her, a girl who had just turned 16, to earn such a family business. At this time, Bu Lianshi, who was obviously dressed up in palace clothes, was leading everyone to wait at the door. When he saw Ailang coming, his beautiful face immediately showed an expression of infinite joy, and he quickly walked down the steps to welcome Ailang.
