The Shuhan Empire of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 3
happy general
"My name is Zhuge Qiao, and I am still guarding Nuo." Zhuge Qiao stepped forward and stretched out his hand to pull him up;
"My name is Qin Shan, just follow me." Qin Shan stood up and patted the dust, and said disdainfully.

Walking quickly through this twisted mountain road with Qin Shan, I found that the scenery here is extremely beautiful, without any artificial elements. In autumn, the autumn wind is rustling and the fallen leaves are fluttering. Such a beautiful scenery is intoxicating.No wonder this family chose to stop at this place.

Suddenly, a courtyard-like building appeared in front of Zhuge Qiao, "This is it," Qin Shan reminded beside him;
"Thank you" Zhuge Qiao walked slowly into the courtyard.He only heard a voice coming from behind, "Father, we have a visitor." Zhuge Qiao suddenly turned his head and stared at Qin Shan, "You are Qin Shen's son, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"You didn't ask me either," Qin Shan replied without cutting me

"Who do you know and how do you know my name? Who told you?" The old man inside asked ungently after he came out. Zhuge Qiao looked at this man. Although he has a few strands of white hair, his complexion is extremely rosy and he is eight feet long. , the power of the Buddha covering the huge body is contained in the gray and white clothes;
"My name is Zhuge Qiao, and I was told by an old man who is 60 miles away from here in the direction of Chengdu," Zhuge Qiao replied neither humble nor overbearing

"Father may be the person we rescued at the foot of the mountain last year, but we told him not to disclose it, so why did he tell it?" Qin Shan said into Qin Shen's ear with some complaints.

"According to my previous observations, that person must be the one who keeps his promise. Could it be that there is something special about this person?" Qin Shen thought about it, and then began to look at Zhuge Qiao.

"We are neither friends nor friends, so what do you mean when you come to see me?" Qin Shen asked a little politely.

"Actually, it's nothing, I just want you not to waste your good age, sir, you will inevitably regret it in the future." Zhuge Qiao prepared the lines before coming.

"For this old man, it is no regret to be able to die of old age on this mountain, and what can I do going down the mountain?" Qin Shen stared at Zhuge Qiao and said slowly

"Then why did you join the army before?" Zhuge Qiao asked suddenly.

"At that time, the world was ruled by big men, and it was only natural to contribute to the country."

"It's a matter of course. If the Han court needs you, will you come forward?"

"It's a pity that there is no such great Han court now." Qin Shen seemed a bit disappointed when he said this, and it could be seen that he was also a passionate young man before.

After nearly a thousand years, the former Han Dynasty no longer exists, and only Yizhou occupied by the emperor's uncle Liu Bei is still surnamed Liu.

"Then you are wrong. Emperor Xian is still in the court today, even though he is under house arrest. But the great Han Emperor still has his heart for the great Han. When the time is right, he will definitely set the Central Plains in the north and help the Han Dynasty."

"Liu Xuande would be so kind, so why did he take Liu Zhang's Yizhou?" Qin Shen shook his head without any trust in his heart;
"In the past, the emperor's uncle only occupied most of Jingzhou. How could he compete with Cao Cao? After Liu Zhang invited the emperor's uncle to resist Zhang Lu, he cut off his food and grass. How can it not be chilling? The emperor's uncle was forced to do this."

"You don't need to say anything more, I don't want to marry for fame and fame, maybe this is my pedantry; it's just that my two sons are still very young now, and I don't want them to die on the mountain with me, I know you The background is extraordinary, let’s take them down the mountain.” Qin Shen looked at the sky that was about to darken, and let out a heavy sigh, no one knew what he was thinking at the moment

"Father, I don't want to leave you," Qin Shen said angrily,

"I'm so old, I really want to stay on the mountain for the rest of my life. His mother died when Liu Bei entered Sichuan. That's why I left the barracks and took them to this mountain to escape the troubled times. It's been seven years. In this spare time, I also taught my two sons marksmanship, which should also help Liu Bei, so you should tell me your real identity, right?" Qin Shen said slowly, his eyes no longer had the sharpness just now, and the rest Only the softness that belongs to the father.

"This is what it should be. My name is Zhuge Qiao. I am the son of Zhuge Liang. I was visiting the surrounding area but I didn't want to know about it, sir. Therefore, I hereby invite you all to come down to help the emperor's uncle to help the Han family." Zhuge Qiao also said sincerely;

"It seems that you and I met by fate, I will stay in a humble house tonight, and I will take you down the mountain together tomorrow," Qin Shen said indifferently.

At this time, the autumn wind is still there, the yellow leaves are still floating, but people are about to leave.

"Father, I'm back. I've been ambushing all afternoon. I've finally ambushed a big guy...he has a guest at home." There was a sudden noise from outside.

"This is the boss Qin Hong, let's go and see her prey." Qin Shen said with a smile

Zhuge Qiao walked over suspiciously and saw that it was a bear. It looked like it weighed about a hundred catties, but it was already a corpse. It seemed that Qin Hong had come to the right place with how strong his force was. Zhuge Qiao Joe sighed.

"Hong'er is Mr. Wolong's son, you brothers will follow him down the mountain tomorrow." Qin Shen said with a serious look.

Facing Liu Bei's number one man in front of him, Qin Shen did not restrain his inner desire. After all, he still had two sons, and he would never let his son grow and die in this mountain like himself.

"Why, I want to be with my father and I don't want to go down the mountain?" Qin Hong's eyes were piercing, and Zhuge Qiao couldn't help but feel a burst of coldness behind him.

"There is no reason why this is an order. Dad will leave here after tomorrow, and isn't it your dream to join the army and serve the country? Now fate has come." Qin Shen's words became more and more severe.
"Brother, just listen to Dad. You also know that what Dad decides will not change, and when the time comes, won't I be able to stay together forever if I take Dad along?" Qin Shan came over to persuade him.

"Joining the army is my dream, but I have to take Dad with you, otherwise I'd rather not join the army." Qin Hong stared at Qin Shen straightly,

In fact, Zhuge Qiao also understands that the two brothers and mothers died early, and they have been with their father on the mountain for seven years. No one would be reluctant to part with them, but this kind of reluctance will eventually turn into nostalgia.

"Bake the bear tonight, have a good meal and leave here tomorrow." Qin Shen didn't say anything, and seemed to acquiesce to Qin Hong's proposal.

"My second brother is going to prepare firewood, and my father and I will pick the skin."

Looking at this busy family, Zhuge Qiao's heart is full of changes. What a good family this is, will it be like this tomorrow, and it is still unknown whether he will live or die in the future. Is it a blessing or not to meet me? woe

It didn't take long for the smell of bears to drift away. To be honest, I had never eaten bear meat in my previous life, and I didn't dare to eat it. It is a nationally protected animal. I will have a good meal later, thinking that Zhuge Qiao put aside all his troubles and calmed down. Quietly waiting for the entrance of the bear meat
Beside the bonfire, "Dad, are we really going down the mountain? Do you think that person is trustworthy?" Qin Shan whispered

"According to my experience, this person is not fake. Besides, who will trick us into going down the mountain, what will we get? Let's follow him in the future. His future is boundless." Qin Shen also stared at Zhuge Qiao and sighed.

"Dad mean you don't plan to come with us?"

"Father is getting old, after sending you down the mountain, I will meet some old friends of mine. After a while, I will go to you when I am tired. The marksmanship and archery I have taught you these years are not in vain. I taught you, it's time for you to go out and take a good look..." Qin Shen muttered in a low voice while staring at the burnt-smelling bear meat.

"Mr. Zhuge's bear meat is ready!" Qin Shen called to Zhuge Qiao. In fact, Zhuge Qiao was also hungry and panicked and ran away all afternoon. He still smelled the smell of beef but couldn't eat it.

Qin Shen cut a large piece with a knife and handed it to Zhuge Qiao. Zhuge Qiao stretched out his hand, and took it steadily. Xie even forgot to say it, and started to gnaw.

Lying on the ground and looking at the night sky, the night in ancient times is beautiful, no matter how hard it is to see the stars in a modern city, think about it, this is the first night I came here, I wish my mother over there is safe and healthy.

"Mr. Zhuge, come here to be a witness. You will go down the mountain tomorrow. Neither of them has taken the word. In fact, I have thought about it before, but I haven't taken it with you." Qin Shen said deeply; come over.

"Qin Hong, you are very powerful, and you are a little more impetuous. I hope you can get rid of this problem in the future, and I will give you the word 'Sapphire'. Qin Shan, you have a soft personality and a kind heart, and I will give you the word Lantian."

"Father, our characters are so similar to girls' names," Qin Hong complained.

"Why do you care about the words? This is the last thing father gave you. It's getting late. Go to bed." Qin Shen waved his hand

That night, Zhuge Qiao was probably the only one who slept the earliest and the most soundly, because Qin and his son were tossing and turning all night and couldn't sleep, and they didn't know whether it was excitement or sadness.
