Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 279 Zhuge Liang’s Wonderful Overtime Adventure
"What are you going to trade for?" Zhou Yu looked at Ma Chao seriously. Even Sun Ce felt the pressure coming from Zhou Yu and cautiously squatted on the chair and scratched his head and ears.

Sun Ce looked at Ma Chao suspiciously. The erratic feeling on Ma Chao didn't seem fake. Why did he become like this after being out for a whole winter?

A traitor has appeared among us!
Sun Ce became alert. He felt that the Erha Alliance front composed of himself, Gan Ning, and Ma Chao was going bankrupt before it could show its glory.

They were brothers who were detained together.

Damn it, he hasn't seen Gan Ning for a while. Maybe Gan Ning has left Erha.

"What do you want!" Ma Chao raised his head and pointed his nostrils at Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu glanced at Ma Chao suspiciously. Why did he feel that Ma Chao had not thought about it well and ran over with a slap on his head.

"A legion!" Zhou Yu planned to test Ma Chao to see if Ma Chao just came out of his head or if he had thought carefully about it.

"No problem!" Ma Chao waved his hand and said, "It's just a legion." He just randomly assigned 5000 people from the Qiang tribe to Sun Ce.

Zhou Yu was a little speechless. He was sure that Ma Chao was still the same Erha. The feeling just now was probably a flash of inspiration, similar to the intuition of a beast or something.

After all, Sun Ce sometimes relies on intuition to come up with two good ideas.

Relying on the experience of getting along with Sun Ce day and night, Zhou Yu tried to lose his mind and think about why Ma Chao came.

In the end, Zhou Yu came to the conclusion that Ma Chao's purpose in coming to him was simply to find a smart person to fulfill his literal request - to invite Eden to a Qiang concert.

Even Zhou Yu, who is proficient in music, has to admit that Eden is unique in terms of music and opera.

Even Zhou Yu himself was resigned to being defeated, but for Zhou Yu, piano skills were just a hobby after all, and wisdom was his main business.

Ma Chao was also a little confused at this time. His mind was clearly clear when he was in the ice and snow before, so why did he feel like his mind was blank after running back to Chang'an.

However, Ma Chao still worked very hard to maintain a calm expression on his face, and he really wanted to accomplish this thing, because this was the welfare package he promised to his personal guards, so he must complete it.

Zhou Yu saw through Ma Chao's pretense and probably understood Ma Chao's motives. Sun Ce would sometimes make such promises, and then let him wipe his ass. I have to say that Ma Chao is a bit stupid, but he can judge people. He still has good taste and knows how to find a golden thigh for himself.

"I can't do this!" After thinking for a long time, Zhou Yu seriously rejected Ma Chao.

He actually has a way, but it's a pity that his identity is too sensitive. He doesn't want to cause more trouble for himself and Sun Ce at this time. In other words, Sun Ce's discussions with Yizhou and Jingzhou these days are already conspicuous enough. Yes, if more things happen, his blood pressure will really be uncontrollable.

"Bo Fu, see the guests off. We can't do what King Qiang requested!" Zhou Yu shook his head, stood up and walked towards the backyard. He was finally freed from the hell of government affairs. He needed to have a good rest.

Ma Chao and Sun Ce looked at each other. They didn't know why Zhou Yu suddenly acted like this. But Sun Ce still understood Zhou Yu. If Zhou Yu didn't want to do it, there must be a reason why he didn't want to do it.

He grabbed Ma Chao, who wanted to ask questions, and shook his head solemnly at Ma Chao.

Ma Chao looked at the expression on Sun Ce's face, and looked stunned for a moment, then nodded, turned around and left.

He didn't believe that Zhou Yu couldn't help it, but since Zhou Yu was unwilling to help, he would ask others.

He and Sun Ce are friends, and Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are brothers. Since Zhou Yu is unwilling, he cannot let Sun Ce be in a dilemma.

Seeing Zhou Yu and Ma Chao leaving one after another, Sun Ce, who stayed where he was, scratched his head and chose to walk into the backyard.

"Gong Jin, you should have a solution, right?" Sun Ce was a little confused. It seemed to be a very simple thing, so why would Zhou Yu be unwilling.

"You have attracted enough attention these days!" Zhou Yu sighed silently, regardless of whether Sun Ce could understand or not, and gave Sun Ce a rough description of their current situation of walking on thin ice.

After hearing this, Sun Ce scratched his head in confusion. He lived a fulfilling life in Chang'an, eating, sleeping and fighting. He had never thought that their life would be so dangerous.

Although he didn't hear from Zhou Yu's words that there was any danger, but since Zhou Yu said it was, then it was.

"What a pity. I originally wanted to learn how to train cavalry with Meng Qi!" Sun Ce sighed with regret.

"Training with Ma Chao? Ma Mengqi's training is very good?" Zhou Yu asked casually, disapprovingly.

"Yes, I heard that when the emperor expanded his army on a large scale, General Zhou Tong was the chief instructor of the infantry, and Meng Qi was the chief instructor of the cavalry training." Sun Ce recalled the news he heard from Taishi Ci, unsure. said.

"This is new news!" Zhou Yu silently remembered this information in his heart. He had never heard of this before, and he did not ask Sun Ce who said it.

He knew that most of this information about Sun Ce was heard while he was drinking and chatting with the generals. If he heard it, he would forget it. If he asked who provided the information, he might put Sun Ce in an embarrassing position.

"Don't worry, Ma Mengqi is not someone who gives up so easily, and there are many people in Chang'an who can help him!" Seeing Sun Ce's troubled face, Zhou Yu casually comforted him with a few words.

Ma Chao, who left Sun Ce's house on the other side, scratched his head. To be honest, why he approached Zhou Yu first was because Zhou Yu was the only one he had contact with. He was not very familiar with other smart people.

Just when Ma Chao was squatting outside the door of the Government Affairs Office with a thoughtful look on his face, wondering how to get in and abduct a smart person, a seemingly thin figure tapped him on the shoulder.

"Why is General Ma so frowning? Is there something on his mind?"

Zhuge Liang looked at the imageless Ma Chao squatting outside the Government Affairs Office with a strange expression. In normal times, someone would come to catch Ma Chao, but today is a holiday for the Government Affairs Office. Basically all the officials are taking a bath, and only a few people are on duty. .

That's why no one cared about Ma Chao squatting at the door of the Government Affairs Office. If Zhuge Liang hadn't had nothing to do and planned to come over to work overtime, he wouldn't have appeared at the Government Affairs Office.

"Commander Zhuge!" Ma Chao's eyes lit up. Although he was not familiar with Zhuge Liang, he knew how to climb up the pole.

Ma Chao jumped up on the spot and hugged Zhuge Liang's thigh directly.

"General Ma, what are you doing? Get up quickly, get up quickly!" Zhuge Liang and everyone were stunned. Ma Chao was shameless and he still wanted to be shameless. Why is it okay to argue in public?

It's a pity that although Zhuge Liang is also exercising, his little arms and legs are not enough to face Ma Chao's strong man lock.

Zhuge Liang dragged Ma Chao into the room of the Government Affairs Hall. Fortunately, there was no one in the room, otherwise Zhuge Liang would have been stunned by Ma Chao.

Although today's Zhuge Liang is a scholar and a man of astonishing wisdom, there is still a huge gap between him and Jia Xu, Chen Gong and others in terms of bottom line.

If it were Chen Gong and Jia Xu who was locked up by a strong man today, they and Ma Chao would spend a whole day at the door. They are not the type to meddle in other people's business. No matter how shameless Ma Chao is, the two of them can still use more. Shameless way to give disgust back.But Zhuge Liang can't do it. Zhuge Liang is now so thin-skinned that he can't stand Ma Chao being so messy.

"General Ma! If you have anything to say, just say it! If Liang can help, he will definitely help you!" Zhuge Liang sighed helplessly.

Ma Chao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he got up from the ground, licking his face like a normal person and serving Zhuge Liang tea and water.

"It's nothing serious. I just want you to give me some advice on how to invite Miss Eden to perform among the Qiang people!"

Ma Chao secretly gave Sun Ce a thumbs up. After he was rejected by Zhou Yu, he recalled the relationship between Sun Ce and Zhou Yu and came to the conclusion that like asking for help, you must be willing to give up your face.

So he used Sun Ce's trick of messing with Zhou Yu on Zhuge Liang, and the effect was outstanding.

Zhuge Liang's hand holding the tea shook and he silently put the tea cup down.

"General Ma, do you know what the current ticket price is at Golden Courtyard?"

Zhuge Liang's mouth twitched. Not to mention Eden's official background and publicity value, the wealth value of Eden's Golden Courtyard alone was already an astronomical figure.

Not to mention the ticket price for performances in Eden, even the number of singers and dancers involved in the performances is an astronomical figure. If it weren't for the fixed charity performances held every month in Eden, ordinary people would never be able to see this thing.

However, even so, the monthly tax bill is a shocking figure.

Many children from aristocratic families would be beaten to death just for a seat, but the background of the Golden Courtyard was there. No matter what the background was, anyone who made trouble would be thrown into the prison wall for a week.

According to untrustworthy gossip, even Cao Cao, the current leader of Luoyang, was thrown into prison for drinking and causing trouble. Although there is no definite evidence, it undoubtedly makes all the children of the aristocratic family feel shocked.

Of course, anyone with some sense will not make trouble. Eden has the Yellow Turban Saint on his head, and the label of Saint of the Taiping Sect has not been taken off yet. Who dares to provoke this? I am really impatient to live. Bar.

Speaking of which, it was also because of the Xiliang Army, there were not many local princes and nobles in Luoyang, and the aristocratic families from outside were more or less afraid to act arrogantly, so there was no trouble.

At most, a few idiots who were too drunk to carry anything would probably wake up after being thrown into the wall of a small dark room for a week.

"I came to you just because I found out!" Ma Chao said with a shy face.

He has also been to the Golden Courtyard. To be honest, the wealth of the Qiang people is enough for him to treat Eden once, and even the seizure of the Xianbei Royal Court is enough. But the problem is that the Qiang people have not yet achieved food freedom.

He just wants to bring about spiritual welfare, not to play with the princes and abandon the world just for the smile of Beauties. He, Ma Chao, is not that stupid.

That's why he wanted to use other methods to invite him.

"Is it difficult? Is it easy? I have three strategies: upper, middle and lower. I wonder which strategy General Ma wants to use?"

"Please sir, teach me!" Ma Chao immediately bowed down.

"The best idea is that General Ma goes directly to invite Miss Eden!" Zhuge Liang held out a finger.

"As long as the general can use one-tenth of his energy today, cry out in front of Miss Eden about the Qiang people's bitter cold, and ask Miss Eden for mercy, he will definitely succeed!"

Zhuge Liang is not talking nonsense. Eden is doing charity performances, so it is not impossible to go to the Qiang people's charity performances.

The corners of Ma Chao's mouth twitched. Although he was shameless, he still wanted to show some face. He really didn't have the courage to hug his thighs so shamelessly in front of a woman.

To put it bluntly, Ma Chao is also a young man. Although his lower limit is lower than Zhuge Liang's, it is still far from Chen Gong's lower limit of crying in front of others.

"Whether the best policy is right or not, sir, please give me the right policy!" Ma Chao waved his hands repeatedly.

Zhuge Liang was not surprised, he pondered for a moment and said to Ma Chao.

"Since General Ma has concerns, why not do this? There are rules in the Golden Courtyard. Most of the rewards after a performance will be sent to the Ministry of Industry for special funds for charity. General Ma can earn the first place on the list, and then tell the request to Miss Eden!”

Ma Chao touched his chin and felt that this was a good idea, but he wanted to do it for free. He had also gone to see the performance. Those lunatics would have bankrupted their money by rewarding him, so he was still under a lot of pressure.

If you don't become a family, you don't know that materials, rice, oil, and salt are expensive. Nowadays, the Qiang people's finances are full of holes. He is really poor.

Seeing Ma Chao's expression, Zhuge Liang sighed, and then told him what to do.

"Since General Ma is not satisfied with either of the above two strategies, there is another way. General Ma can go to the Emperor and make him miserable!"

Ma Chao's eyes lit up. If he felt pressure from holding Eden's thigh, he felt no pressure at all from holding Mu Yi's thigh.

"Thank you, Military Advisor Zhuge. If there is any order from the Military Advisor in the future, Ma Mengqi will be obliged to do so!" After Ma Chao said that, he turned around and ran away. He planned to use some tactics first.

Zhuge Liang stayed where he was. He seemed to have been tricked by Ma Chao just now?
Ma Chao actually knows how to draw cakes. Could it be said that this is a skill that comes with the throne?
He also knew that Ma Chao led the Qiang people to destroy the Xianbei Royal Court in the ice and snow. He felt that Ma Chao was a person, so he was willing to help Ma Chao.

Otherwise, if he gives Ma Chao a few casual blows, he can trick Ma Chao to death.

If you force a wise man to give you advice, you may die without even knowing how.

After a long time, Zhuge Liang picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

Don't tell me, the tea poured by a prince is more fragrant than the tea poured by oneself.

"Eh? General Zhao?"

Just as Zhuge Liang was reminiscing, Zhuge Liang saw Zhao Yun walking in from the door. He was a little confused about what day it was and why all these generals had sad faces.

"Commander Zhuge! Please teach me, military counselor!" Zhao Yun's eyes lit up, and then he bowed down to Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang's brows twitched. It seemed that today was really not a good day to work overtime.
