Soldiers come to the world

The carriage stopped slowly in front of Kuai Mansion. On the steps, Kuai Yue led several young people who had been waiting for a long time. Kuai Yue was wearing a hibiscus crown and a precious sable fur. He was the owner and had to dress formally. To show respect to guests.

The young people behind were wearing ordinary robes and flat scarves, and they were dressed more casually. Although the courtesy was heavy today, the banquet was just a small banquet. There were not many people, only five or six people as companions.

Liu Jing got off the carriage, walked up quickly to meet him, and saluted, "Keep Kuai Gong waiting for a long time, Liu Jing is rude."

Kuai Yue walked down the steps and said with a smile: "When I first met Mr. Jing, I felt cordial. Today's gathering is just a matter of fate. Come! Come! I will introduce some young talents from Jingzhou to Mr. Jing."

Kuai Qi needs no introduction, he led Liu Jing, the two of them have already known each other along the way, there are three young people behind Kuai Yue, one of them looks a bit like Kuai Qi, Kuai Yue introduced with a smile: "This is the dog Er. Study in Longzhong."

Kuai Yue has three sons, the eldest son and the second son are officials outside, only the third son Kuai Er is with his father, and he is only 19 years old this year.

Kuai Er hurriedly saluted and exchanged a few polite words with each other. Kuai Yue introduced another person, "This is my nephew, surnamed Ma and named Liang, styled Jichang, from Yicheng, Xiangyang, and Quanzi and Gouzi are classmates and friends, and we are here to accompany you today."

Liu Jing saw that there was a cluster of white eyebrows in his eyebrows, which looked strange, so he couldn't help laughing and said: "Ma's Wuchang, white eyebrows are the best. Liu Jing has heard of them for a long time. Seeing them today, they really live up to their reputation."

Ma Liang is not very old, only about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he also wears a sword in his waist. He smiled back and said, "Today I also went to the sword stage to watch Mr. Jing compete with swords. Mr. Jing moves like an eagle. It is as quiet as Mount Tai, which makes Ji Chang admire him very much."

"Brother Ji Chang won the prize!"

The last person was about 20 years old, tall and tall, with a face like a crown jade, clear and bright eyes, and kept smiling beside him without saying a word. Kuai Yue brought Liu Jing forward and introduced him with a smile, "This talented man is also Quanzi's classmate and friend, compound surname Zhuge, single name Liang, courtesy name Kongming, native of Langya County, is Duke Pang De's most proud student."

Liu Jing was in awe. It turned out that this was Zhuge Liang. It was the first time he had seen him. He hurriedly bowed and saluted, "It turned out to be Mr. Wolong. I have admired Brother Zhuge for a long time for his outstanding talents and learning. I am lucky to see you today."

The Zhuge family is also a prominent family in Langya. Zhuge Liang's parents died early, and his brother Zhuge Jun followed his uncle Zhuge Xuan to Yuzhang County to take office. After losing his official position, Zhuge Xuan went to Liu Biao in Jingzhou. After farming and studying, he worshiped Duke Pang De of Lumen as his teacher.

Zhuge Liang was born in a prominent family in Langya, and was also quite famous in Xiangyang. He was related by marriage to the Pang family and the Kuai family. Zhuge Liang had two older sisters. This is also the reason why Kuai Yue invited him to accompany him.

Zhuge Liang didn't go to see today's sword competition, and he wasn't very interested in the event that everyone in Xiangyang City was talking about. At least he didn't show his admiration for Liu Jing's swordsmanship.

His personality is relatively gentle, another way of saying gentle is lukewarm, and he doesn't like to be intimate with others, but since Liu Jing respects his name of Crouching Dragon, he has to show due etiquette.

You know, most people regard his "Wolong" as a joke that can be talked about after dinner.

Zhuge Liang also saluted: "Mr. Jing is young and talented, and his reputation can be determined with a sword, but Kong Ming admires Mr. Jing even more and urged Zhou Mu to accept Uncle Liu Huang. This is a righteous act, but it is a pity that the world is ignorant."

His words caused embarrassment on the face of Ma Liang beside him. Just now Ma Liang was praising Liu Jing as fast as an eagle and as quiet as a mountain, but now Zhuge Liang was a little dismissive of Bi Jian.

Kuai Yue chuckled, "Too much etiquette is a burden, let's discuss it in detail after entering the room!"

Everyone chatted and laughed as they entered the gate. The place to treat guests today is in the guest room. The banquet in the pre-Qin period was not a gathering around a table today, but a meal sharing system. The weather was cold and the sheepskin was the mat. A short lacquer table was placed in front of each person. , Cups, plates, spoons, bamboo chopsticks and other food utensils have been placed.

There is also a charcoal basin in the middle of the living room. On the shelf of the charcoal basin is a rather large gilded copper warming wine bottle. The wine bottle is filled with fine wine, and a maid with a beautiful face is responsible for distributing the wine to everyone with a long wooden spoon. .

Kuai Yue is the host and sits in the middle chair, while the other juniors sit on both sides. Liu Jing sits in the first seat on the left, next to Kuai Qi, and opposite is Zhuge Liang, because he is also a guest and is older than Ma Liang.

Soon, more than a dozen servants brought hot meat dishes and various seasonal melons and fruits, and the silver ear cups were filled with fine wine. Kuai Yue held the ear cups with both hands and said with a smile: "Mr. Jing, please come to the house for a drink today." , and at the same time it is practiced for the son, everyone can drink this cup to show respect."

Liu Jing felt a little strange, why practice?But he didn't ask much, and drank a glass of wine with everyone.

At this moment, Zhuge Liang smiled and asked: "Just now Uncle Kuai said that Mr. Jing is going to travel far, but it is about Jiang Xia's business."

Kuai Yue chuckled, "Kong Ming knew all about the affairs of the world without ever going out. That's right, it's Jiangxia's affairs."

He smiled slightly at Liu Jing again and said, "Young master will go to war the day after tomorrow."

Liu Jing was even more puzzled, and then bowed and asked, "Liu Jing doesn't know anything, please make it clear to Duke Kuai."

"That's right, Zhang Wu and Chen Sun are rebelling in Jiangxia. My lord has ordered Liu Huangshu to lead an army of [-] people to quell the rebellion. I suggest that my lord let you go together to experience the army."

Liu Jing was overjoyed, this way he had the opportunity to ask Zhao Yun for advice on the skills of fighting immediately, he came at the right time, he quickly thanked, "Thank you, Duke Kuai, for speaking for me and making my wishes come true."

"You don't have to be polite, son."

Kuai Yue stroked his beard and smiled, and continued to ask Zhuge Liang: "What does Kong Ming think of the chaos between Zhang Wu and Chen Sun?"

Zhuge Liang thought for a while and said: "Jiangxia is a strategically important place, and Soochow has been involved the most. Sun Jian died in Jiangxia. I heard that his general, Lu Su, once advised him to take advantage of Cao Cao's lack of time to go south to march to Jingzhou. Although he was opposed by Zhang Zhao and other important ministers, Lu Su had to be reused. This shows that Sun Quan has the heart of Jingzhou.

However, last year's Luling Sun Fu Rebellion and Lujiang Li Shu Rebellion made Sun Quan dare not take the initiative to send troops. If he fails, his status may be endangered.

So the best way is to test, and provoking Jiangxia civil strife is the best way to test. If the Jiangxia rebellion subsides in time, Soochow will not mobilize troops. If the Jiangxia rebellion intensifies, Soochow will definitely take advantage of the chaos to send troops to Jiangxia , so I guess the Soochow army is waiting for the opportunity. "

Zhuge Liang's words made everyone ponder. Liu Jing thought for a moment and asked: "Brother Kong Ming said that Zhang Wu and Chen Sun's rebellion has the shadow of Soochow. Is there any basis for it?"

Zhuge Liang shook his head, smiled lightly and said, "Liang is just a scholar, he has no basis, just his own guess."

"But there must be a basis for guessing!" Liu Jing asked reluctantly.

Zhuge Liang took a deep look at him, and asked quietly, "Then tell me, what basis should I have?"

Liu Jing said slowly: "I think brother Kong Ming's basis is the deployment of soldiers in Jingzhou this time."

Zhuge Liang raised his head and smiled, and held out his thumb to Liu Jing. Ma Liang seemed to have realized something, but the Kuai brothers looked at each other, not knowing what kind of riddle they were playing.

Kuai Yue nodded in praise and said: "Kong Ming really has a long-term plan, and Mr. Jing also has a heart-to-heart. It is true. We got the news that Dong Wu ordered Lu Su to be a general. Therefore, my lord did not dare to use Huang Zu's army to suppress the rebellion of Zhang Wu and Chen Sun, but sent another army to defend against the Eastern Wu army's attack on Chaisang."

Everyone laughed and praised Zhuge Liang for his foresight, but Zhuge Liang quickly glanced at Liu Jing, thinking to himself, "This man is not a martial artist, it's not easy to see my intentions!" '

After they drank a few more glasses of wine, the topic turned to something interesting, Kuai Yue said with a smile: "Young Master Jing, can you show me the Xuanlin Sword?"

Liu Jing untied the Xuanlin sword and handed it to Kuai Yue, who held the scabbard in his hand and slowly pulled out the Xuanlin sword, admired it for a moment, then smiled at everyone: "Do you know that this sword has a name? "

Ma Hao asked curiously: "Besides Xuanlin Sword, what else is it called?"

Kuai Yue smiled mysteriously, "In addition to the Xuanlin Sword, this sword is also called the Marriage Sword."

Everyone was stunned, Liu Jing seemed to understand something vaguely, and quickly asked: "Please explain clearly, Mr. Kuai!"

Kuai Yue blinked, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Jing, do you feel that Miss Cai Jia Shaoyu has a soft spot for you?"

There was a lot of laughter in the hall, this is the most interesting topic, Liu Jing touched his nose, he really came to his senses, could this sword have something to do with Cai Shaoyu?

He felt a little anxious, and urged him to ask: "Mr. Kuai, please explain clearly! Don't tease my nephew any more."

Kuai Yue chuckled, pointed at Liu Jing and said to the crowd: "See, there is a beauty beckoning, Mr. Jing is in a hurry."

Everyone laughed again, and Kuai Yue whetted Liu Jing's appetite, so he calmly said: "This sword is actually a token of marriage between Liu and Cai. The Liu's nephew holding this sword will marry the daughter of Cai Junshi. It was decided two years ago, so we want to congratulate Mr. Jing for being a beauty."

Amidst the congratulations from everyone, Liu Jing seemed to be in an ice cave, asking him to marry the daughter of the Cai family?He would rather go back to become a monk and become a Taoist priest. Liu Biao is too arbitrary. He actually decided such an important life event for himself.

Liu Jing never had a girlfriend in his previous life. Although during the Three Kingdoms era, Shiliu was able to marry a wife, but now he has only been in this era for more than a month, and he is far from caring about this matter, but there are some things that he cannot decide , Before they knew it, a marriage came quietly.

Going to marry the daughter of the Cai family!He'd rather be headbutted to death.

He really didn't like the daughter of the Cai family, even if he was asked to marry him as a concubine, he would not do it, not to mention that it was impossible for the daughter of the Cai family to be his concubine.

Just when Liu Jing was lamenting the fate, Zhuge Liang sighed, "Mr. Jing will have a wife at the age of sixteen. I, Kong, will be weak next year. Where is the good wife?"

Zhuge Liang's words almost made Liu Jing choke his nose, he raised his glass and said with a smile: "Brother Kong Ming's wife is the daughter of the Huang family, Yueying?"

As soon as he finished his sentence, all the people in the hall looked at him with extremely surprised eyes, and then roared with laughter.
