Jian Yong sighed and said, "Brother, since Zhuge Liang has gone out to visit friends, then let's go back first and take time to come later!"

Zhang Fei said angrily: "Hey, in my opinion, that little boy must be lies. Zhuge Liang is at home at this time! He is just, he doesn't want to see you, brother!"

A strange look flashed in Liu Bei's eyes and he thought to himself, did his reckless third brother see something? He asked immediately: "Third brother, why do you say this? Without any evidence, don't talk nonsense about others behind your back!"

Zhang Fei took out some money from his hand and smiled and said, "It would be too simple to know if Zhuge Liang is at home!"

Zhang Fei waved to the onlookers and smiled and said, "Did you see the money in my hand? Now I want to ask a question. If someone answers it, the money will be his!"

The people around looked at each other. Since ancient times, the people have not been in charge of officials, let alone a high-ranking official like the prefect. After a long time, one of the young men hurried to Liu Bei and bowed and said, "The villain is a villager here. I have seen the prefect and two adults. What is this adult's doubt? But please tell me, as long as it happens in this village, the villain will definitely inform the adults!"

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll ask you, can Zhuge Liang go out to visit friends? Is he right at home?"

The villagers' expressions changed, their eyes dodged, and their hesitation made Zhang Fei even more anxious. He shouted: "If you say you are there, if you are not there, you are not there. Is it difficult to answer?"

Zhang Fei's voice was deafening, and the villagers were so scared that their faces turned pale, and hesitantly replied: "This...this..."

Obviously, the villagers also heard what the child said just now. Often, the people in the village are related to each other. Although Zhuge Liang is a foreigner, since their family moved to Longzhong, they have solved many problems for the villagers. Moreover, they are very talented and often teach the children in the village. They never charge a slightest amount. The people benefited too much, so they naturally were unwilling to betray Zhuge Liang's whereabouts. However, Liu Bei was the prefect of Nanyang and was their parents, so the villagers would have a difficult side.

Zhang Fei naturally saw the villagers' thoughts. Zhang Fei grinned and said, "My name is Zhang Fei, he is the county magistrate of Nanyang County. You kid, your eyes are flashing and your behavior is panicked. Now I suspect you are a spy from Cao Jun. Do you believe it or not, I will take you back for interrogation?"

Seeing Zhang Fei say this, the villagers were startled and knelt down and begged for mercy, saying, "The villain is a villager from Longzhong. His family has lived here for generations. He is not a spy of Cao's army, nor a spy of Cao's army! If Lord Zhang doesn't believe it, you can ask the people in this village! They can all prove it to the villain!"

"Yes, Lord Zhang, you recognized the wrong person. This kid is called Goudan. He is from our village. Lord Zhang, you recognized the wrong person!"

"Yes, Goudan is not a spy. He hasn't even been to Wancheng. How could he be a spy?"

"We can testify for Goudan. Goudan is not a spy. Lord Zhang, you have recognized the wrong person!"

Seeing that the villagers were in crisis, the villagers around him spoke out to him. Zhang Fei also knew that the young man called Goudan was not a spy from Cao's army. His words just now were just to deceive him.

Zhang Fei grinned and said, "Hmph, how can I believe your one-sided words? I just asked this person, and hesitated, indicating that there is a ghost in his heart."

Goudan smiled and said, "Please also give a clear look. The villain stuttered just now and showed hesitation because... it's because..."

Seeing that Goudan stopped talking, Zhang Fei shouted, "What is it? Do you mean? Is it difficult?"

Seeing that Zhang Fei was angry, Goudan hurriedly said, "It is because the villain has received favor from Mr. Zhuge that he does not want to disclose Mr. Zhuge's whereabouts!"

Zhang Fei pointed at himself and asked, "Do you think I look like a bad person? Why don't you tell me? Is Zhuge Liang really so difficult?"

Goudan shook his head and said, "It's not difficult, it's not difficult!"

Zhang Fei stuffed the money into Goudan's hand and asked, "Then tell me now whether Zhuge Liang is at home or not, as long as you tell me, the money is yours!"

Goudan smiled and said, "Didn't the doorman of Mr. Zhuge's house just now say it? Mr. Zhuge is not at home at this time, not at home!"

Liu Bei stepped forward and took a photo of Zhang Fei, and said lightly: "Okay, Yide, don't make things difficult for him anymore!"

After Liu Bei and the other two left Longzhong, Jian Yong said: "Brother, the villager just now obviously didn't tell the truth. According to my estimate, Zhuge Liang could really stay at home!"

Zhang Fei said carelessly: "Look, even my second brother said that Zhuge Liang is at home! Big brother, that boy is closed and he is so neglected. In my opinion, it is better to force himself to break in and mention Zhuge Liang's kid, first hit the fifty big boards, and then ask him why he did this!"

Liu Bei smiled bitterly and said, "Oh, since they don't want to see me, then we will come back next time. We will stay in Deng County for a few days later. In three days, we will come and visit us again!"

Jian Yong echoed: "It seems that this is the only way!"

But Zhang Fei murmured: "There is no such trouble. Let's go back now, and I can kick the ragged door open with just one kick!"

Liu Bei turned a deaf ear to Zhang Feidi's words and walked forward.

Time flies, and the blink of an eye comes. Three days are coming in the blink of an eye.

On that day, Liu Bei and the other two arrived in Longzhong and knocked on the gate of the courtyard again.

The boy was still the same place as before when Liu Bei spoke, and before he could speak, the boy said directly: "My husband has not come back yet, please come back!"

The little boy was about to close the door, but Liu Bei reached out to stop him. Seeing that the little boy looked puzzled, Liu Bei quickly smiled and said, "This guy, Liu Bei is still full of government affairs, so he can't delay it for too long. Liu Bei really had something to do, so he came to visit Mr. Zhuge and asked the guy to go in and inform Liu Bei. Liu Bei was very grateful!"

Liu Bei had a respectable status, but now he can do this, but the little boy was still frozen.

At this time, an old voice came from the courtyard, "Open the door!"

After the gate of the courtyard opened, an old man was walking out of the inside. Liu Bei hurriedly said, "I'm here to ask my father-in-law, how can I ask you, my name?"

The old man smiled and said, "I am Zhuge Xuan, the uncle Zhuge Liangdi. If Lord Liu does not dislike the simplicity of the humble house, please come in and talk!"

Liu Bei was happy and said, "The elders invite each other, and you should obey it!"

After several people sat down, Zhuge Xuan asked, "Mr. Liu is the prefect of Nanyang and is busy with business. Now he has come to the door twice to find his nephew. What's the matter?"

Liu Bei first told Xu Shu about the story, and then smiled and said, "Bei, I know that he is superficial. I heard that Yuanzhi praised Mr. Kongming very much. He came to visit him and sincerely invited Mr. Kongming to become an official! I don't know where Mr. Kongming is now?"

Zhuge Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Since I am going to recruit my nephew to serve as an official, why should Lord Liu come here in person? Just a document is required, and I will let my nephew take office."

Liu Bei shook his head and replied, "Only by coming here in person can you show your sincerity. Mr. Kong Ming is known as the Wolong and has great talent. Can he compare with ordinary people?"

"Oh?" Zhuge Xuan asked with a smile: "Have you seen my nephew?"

Liu Bei replied in confusion: "I haven't seen it before!"

Zhuge Xuan asked, "Since I have never seen you, how can you know if your nephew is really good at learning? If your nephew is learning ordinary, and you have visited you repeatedly, causing you to delay your official duties, will you mislead the people? Will you mislead your Lord Liu? "

Liu Bei's eyes were firm and replied, "Liu Bei was deeply aware of the talent of Yuanzhi. Since Mr. Kong Ming was able to be praised by Yuanzhi, then Mr. Kong Ming must have real talent and knowledge. Now the Han Dynasty is deserted, and the princes from all over the country have their own troops and do not respect the court. Bei is the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan. He should do something for the people. Now, knowing that there are great talents here, he will come and ask for it."

"Ah?" Zhuge Xuan's expression changed slightly and he said in surprise: "I didn't expect that Lord Liu, you are still a royal family member? You are disrespectful, disrespectful!"

Liu Bei smiled bitterly and said, "Bi, now he is just a down-and-out royal relative! Can you ask where Mr. Kong Ming is?"
