The doctor checked Zhuge Liang's pulse for a long time, his expression was a little solemn, and he took his hand back after a while.
Lu Su hurriedly greeted him and asked nervously: "Doctor, how is he?"
The doctor's face looked quite serious, and he shook his head and said, "The situation is not good. This gentleman is not familiar with water. Although he was rescued in time after falling into the water, he was still invaded by the dampness evil and was frightened. The combination of the two made him very ill." Come on, I have encountered this kind of convulsion, dampness and cold syndrome before, and it may be fatal."
"What? Kill him? Doctor, please save him!"
Lu Su and Zhao Yi were both frightened after hearing this. If Zhuge Liang couldn't afford it, even if he could survive this hurdle in the end, the Sun and Liu alliance would still have to wait for him to complete it. If this was delayed, it wouldn't be a trouble. Just kidding, Cao Cao is stationed in Jiangling and is watching with eager eyes. They can't afford to waste a day.
"What should I do now?"
Seeing Zhuge Liang with red cheeks and short breathing, Lu Su suddenly panicked.
Zhao Yi is still calm. He doesn't think that having a fever after falling into the water is a serious illness. When he was serving in the army, he also had a fever because he soaked in water for too long. He drank some hot water and slept and recovered the next day. Well, I just don’t know what Zhuge Liang’s physique is.
"I'm going to boil some herbs now. I hope it can be of some help to this gentleman."
The old Chinese doctor comforted Lu Su and went out to make medicine. Only Zhuge Liang, Lu Su and Zhao Yi were left in the room.
"Zi...Brother Zijing...Hongfei...come here..."
At this time, Zhuge Liang, who was originally sleeping, opened his eyes and called the two of them hard.
"Brother Kong Ming? Brother Kong Ming, you're awake! How do you feel now? Don't worry, the doctor has already prepared the medicine. You will be fine!"
Lu Su leaned next to Zhuge Liang, feeling desolate in his heart. You must know that he came to Xiakou this time to find a way to win over Liu Bei to fight against Cao Cao. If this matter failed, his position in Sun Quan's heart would be greatly reduced. .
"Commander, you are weak now and need to get more rest."
Zhao Yi also squatted down and comforted.
"I can't... rest... This time Jiangdong's actions are of great importance. Cao Cao has stationed troops in Jiangling and may move eastward at any time... The lord will be in danger by then... .Once there is a mistake in Xiakou...Cao Cao's next target is the Sun family in Jiangdong..."
Zhuge Liang was right, and Lu Su also understood this truth, but they were attacked at this time. Zhuge Liang, the negotiator, was so ill that it was too late to turn the ship back and replace him, and Liu Bei's men could replace Zhuge Liang. Not really.
Zhuge Liang took a breath and continued: "My health doesn't matter... Let's continue, time waits for no one, and we can't delay for a moment... Zijing, Hongfei, there is only one way now... ..”
"Huh? What?"
When Zhuge Liang said there was a way, both Zhao Yi and Lu Su expressed confusion.
"Brother Zijing, I must ask for your help in this matter... When we arrive at Chaisang, please find my eldest brother Zhuge Jin as soon as possible and ask him to cooperate... For the future of our family If your safety is in danger, you can only take a chance..."
"Brother Kong Ming, what can you do? Your body..."
Zhuge Liang raised his hand to interrupt Lu Su's question, looked at Zhao Yi, and motioned for the latter to get closer to him.
Zhao Yi didn't know why, so he leaned down. Zhuge Liang stretched out his hand weakly, but then lowered it feebly. He moved his lips twice and said: "Hongfei... stand up... turn around." lock up."
Although Zhao Yi still didn't understand what Zhuge Liang wanted to do, he still did it, stood up and turned around in a circle.
"Zijing... This meeting is of great significance and must not be missed... Although I am ill now, our original plan cannot be changed... Please do this for me..." I must help, let Hongfei negotiate on my behalf, and I will teach him... what to say... and what not to say during this period."
"What? Let Hongfei replace you? How is this possible?"
Lu Su was shocked when he heard Zhuge Liang's decision, while Zhao Yi was slightly stunned and quickly understood the military advisor's intention.
That's right, the reason why Zhuge Liang asked him to spin around in circles was to visually examine his figure. The two were very close in height, short, fat and thin, and Zhao Yi was young and mature. If he didn't say it, no one would know that he was only seventeen years old. As long as Put on Zhuge Liang's clothes, glue on his beard, put on a feather fan, and with Lu Su cooperating from the side, as long as Zhuge Jin doesn't expose it, no one in Jiangdong will be able to see the problem.
"Commander, you want me to pretend to be you and discuss cooperation with Master Wu to fight Cao Cao? This matter is of great importance. Hongfei is just an ordinary person, so why should the military counselor be entrusted with this important task?"
Zhuge Liang licked his dry lips and said feebly: "Hongfei... you should do extraordinary things at extraordinary times. You achieved unparalleled deeds on Changbanpo at a young age, and on Dangyang Bridge you did something extraordinary with one person's power." To scare off Cao Jun... Such a brave and resourceful person... I really can't find another one at the moment, but you can do it... Not to mention that you and I are similar in stature. , as long as you dress up a little, with the help of brother Zijing, there will be no flaws... This is a big deal, Hongfei, I can only rely on you now..."
"this......"
Lu Su looked left and right, his expression was stern at first, but then his brows slowly relaxed. He clapped his hands and said: "I think this method is feasible. Hongfei and Brother Kong Ming are of the same stature. It is difficult to be fooled by a slight change of appearance." People find out, don’t worry, for the survival of our family, I know what to say and what not to say.”
"Brother Zijing understands the righteousness deeply... Please accept Kong Ming's worship..."
As Zhuge Liang spoke, he tried to stand up and salute Lu Su, but he couldn't get up and was stopped by the latter.
"Brother Kong Ming, please stop saying that. I am helping you, but I am also helping myself. That Cao thief has already been eyeing Jiangdong. As you said, sooner or later we will take that step. Only by uniting can our two families survive. crisis!"
Zhao Yi saw that both of them had made up their minds, and it would be useless to oppose him any more. Moreover, judging from the situation at hand, he was the only one who was most suitable.
Fortunately, as a time traveler, he still understands the relevant aspects of the Battle of Red Cliff. He is just temporarily imitating Zhuge Liang, so there should be no big problem.
The three of them discussed some more details. Zhao Yi put on Zhuge Liang's clothes that had been dried in front of them, put on a silk scarf, and held a feather fan in his hand. He was walking with a sense of elegance and calmness. If he were not familiar with Zhuge Liang, , it is impossible to distinguish the true from the false, and Zhuge Liang himself switched identities with Zhao Yi and became his accompanying book boy.
The warship sailed at full speed and soon arrived at Chaisang.
Speaking of Chaisang, it is much more prosperous than Xiakou where Liu Bei and the others settled. Soochow is indeed a land of plenty, and after three generations of Sun family management, the people live in peace, business is developed, and the population is dense. Zhao Yi finally felt a sense of the city that he had not seen for a long time. .
But after arriving at Chaisang, Lu Su did not arrange for them to meet Wu Lord Sun Quan as soon as possible. Instead, he quietly called Zhuge Liang's eldest brother Zhuge Jin to tell them everything about what they were going to do next.
And Zhuge Jin would keep this secret for Zhuge Liang regardless of public or private interests. After all, the alliance between the Sun and Liu families would be beneficial but not harmful. What Zhuge Liang wanted to do was not to harm Soochow, so he had no reason to refuse.
In the cabin, Zhao Yi was wearing a white robe, a turban on his head, and holding a feather fan. He was chatting and laughing with Lu Su, and they both walked off the deck.
The real Zhuge Liang was helped into a carriage by someone sent by Lu Su, brought back to the official residence prepared in advance, and a doctor was invited to treat him.
"Hongfei, I wonder what Brother Kong Ming has taught you in the past two days? But I still want to remind you, be cautious and don't show your flaws. The number of people in Jiangdong's main battle and peace factions is basically the same. If You can't let most people side with you. Even if my lord wants to go to war with Cao Cao, he will have many concerns. The success or failure this time depends entirely on you."
"Don't worry, Mr. Zi Jing. Also, you have to pay attention. From now on, you must call me Zhuge Kongming, whether in public or private."
