in the hall.
Lu Xuan and Xu Chu are waiting.
This visit to Zhuge Liang was, on the one hand, an external gesture to express Lu Xuan's respect and support for Zhuge Liang; on the other hand, it was also to see how the injury caused by Xiu Yiwei was.
While Lu Xuan was waiting, there was a sound of footsteps.
Lu Xuan followed the sound and immediately saw Zhuge Rong, Zhuge Yan, Zhuge Jun and others walking in front.
These are all members of the Zhuge family.
The Zhuge Rong in front of her was wearing a long white dress and had an elegant appearance. She walked very fast, her eyes were bright and sharp, and she looked capable.
Zhuge Rong came with his family. He looked serious and saluted, "Zhuge Rong, daughter of the people, comes to see the King of Wu. Because uncle Zhuge Xuan and eldest brother Zhuge Jin are all working in the palace, and the second brother Zhuge Liang is lying on the couch again and again, unable to get up to greet him. , only the women of the people came to greet the King of Wu and invite the King of Wu to Haihan."
Lu Xuan said: "It doesn't matter!"
Zhuge Rong breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, she raised her head and glanced at Lu Xuan. She saw that Lu Xuan had a tall and straight figure, his eyebrows were like swords, his eyes were sharp, and he looked majestic. Zhuge Rong's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly lowered his head slightly, waved his hand and said, "King Wu, my second brother has woken up. Please come with me."
"Thank you!"
Lu Xuan nodded again.
He followed Zhuge Rong and walked towards Zhuge Liang's yard in the backyard. But Zhuge Rong was walking in front, and the faint fragrance spread as she walked by. There is still a faint scent of jasmine, which is the scent of the sachet that Zhuge Jin carries.
With a smile on his face, Lu Xuan walked forward and soon arrived in the backyard.
"Your Majesty!"
Zhuge Liang heard the sound of footsteps, saw Lu Xuan from the side and shouted. He didn't get up. After all, there were servants at home, so he couldn't just reveal that his injuries were not serious.
Zhuge Liang said: "I am injured and cannot stand up. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Lu Xuandao: "It doesn't matter, just lie down."
Zhuge Liang looked at Zhuge Rong and said, "Sister, I want to discuss something with the king."
"Okay, you guys talk."
Zhuge Rong left with his family and closed the door, leaving only Zhuge Liang and Lu Xuan in the room.
Zhuge Liang got down from the couch, bowed and said: "Your Majesty!"
Lu Xuan said: "Are you sure the wound left by Xiu Yiwei on you is okay?"
"fine!"
Zhuge Liang quickly answered.
He looked relaxed, shook his arm, and said with a smile: "After the wound was bandaged, it is no longer in the way."
Lu Xuan nodded and said: "This time you made a sudden decision. Although it increased the impact of the assassination, it also allowed me to take advantage of it and beat some people who had ideas about the new city, which reduced the pressure on you to build a new city. But Such a price is very dangerous, and we can no longer risk our lives like this in the future."
Zhuge Liang listened to Lu Xuan's concerned words and said quickly: "I will remember your Majesty's teachings."
Lu Xuan nodded and said: "You can rest for two days before going to Nanjing County to take office. But this time you go to Nanjing County, you still can't take it lightly."
Having said this, Lu Xuan ordered: "Xu Chu!"
"exist!"
Xu Chu opened the door and came in, then closed the door.
Lu Xuan said: "You choose twenty good men from among my king's personal guards to follow Kong Ming to protect his safety."
"I obey!"
Xu Chu answered immediately.
Zhuge Liang looked grateful and said solemnly: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely complete the construction of Nanjing City as soon as possible and live up to Your Majesty's trust."
Lu Xuan patted Zhuge Liang on the shoulder and said, "I believe in you. Okay, just pretend to be sick at home and go to your post in two days."
"Here!"
Zhuge Liang bowed and answered.
Lu Xuandao: "Lie down, I'm leaving."
Zhuge Liang returned to the bed and lay down helplessly. Lu Xuan took Xu Chu out of the yard, and Zhuge Rong greeted him again. There was no one at home suitable to greet and see off Lu Xuan, so she had to come in person.
Zhuge Rong sent Lu Xuan to the door, bowed and said, "King Wu, go slowly."
Lu Xuan smiled and said: "The men of the Zhuge family are outstanding in resourcefulness and ability. The women of the Zhuge family are also generous and don't show off to men. The Zhuge family is indeed a famous family in Langya Kingdom."
Zhuge Rong felt a little embarrassed when he heard this, his eyes were a little wandering, and he said humbly: "King Wu has given me the reward."
Lu Xuan said: "Thank you for taking care of Kong Ming."
Zhuge Rong regained his composure and replied: "This is a matter for women of the people."
Lu Xuan took Xu Chu away in a carriage.
Zhuge Rong returned to Zhuge Liang's room and looked at Zhuge Liang lying on the bed. Seeing Zhuge Liang closing his eyes and looking like he was sleeping, he snorted: "Kong Ming, don't I understand you? Are you pretending to be asleep in front of your sister? use."
Zhuge Liang said nothing.
In front of the eldest sister, it is only for the sake of being scolded, but it is not subtle. The key is, if you say you won, you'll look like you're crying.
In the end, everyone suffers.
Zhuge Rong snorted and said, "You just met King Wu and you can fall asleep now. Are you deceiving my eldest sister because you haven't seen the world?"
Seeing that he couldn't escape, Zhuge Liang opened his eyes, with a smile on his handsome face, and said: "Sister, you are joking, how come you have never seen the world? Sister, I am really tired and want to rest for a while."
Zhuge Rong sighed: "You don't want to see eldest sister so much?"
Zhuge Liang was pinched to death.
Even though he noticed the cunning flashing in Zhuge Rong's eyes, he couldn't help it and said, "Sister, if you have anything to say, just say it."
Zhuge Rong put away the cunning look in his eyes and said solemnly: "I don't know how you got your injury. But I know that with your intelligence, you shouldn't put yourself in danger. In short, whatever you do in the future, , we all need to pay attention to safety, we can’t let my eldest sister worry, and we can’t let our family members worry. Everyone in the family will be worried, you know?"
"I remember."
Zhuge Liang said solemnly: "Sister, don't worry, I'm fine."
Seeing that Zhuge Rong was still talking, he rolled his eyes, thought of a way to change the topic, and asked: "Sister, is this the first time you meet the king today?"
"Of course it's the first time."
Zhuge Rong said: "I don't go out all day long, so naturally I can't see King Wu."
Zhuge Liang asked: "What do you think of the king?"
Zhuge Rong was stunned for a moment and snorted: "What's wrong? You brat, you're just asking for a beating. Since you're fine, I'll go back."
She stood up and left.
Zhuge Liang had a smile on his face. He could be quieter after the eldest sister left. Zhuge Liang closed his eyes and rested for a while, then Zhuge Jin came back. Seeing Zhuge Liang's appearance, he asked, "How is your health?"
Zhuge Liang did not hide anything. He talked about the situation this time and said with a smile: "Brother, there is actually no need for you to come back."
Zhuge Jin said: "Your eldest sister arranged for someone to notify you. I didn't know the situation at the time, so I asked for leave and rushed back. But I thought about it on the way. It's not a big problem if Chen Deng's embroidered guards protect you. The key is that Chen Deng didn't Be dealt with. If the protection is really not good enough, Chen Deng will definitely be dealt with. So after I got home, I was not so anxious."
Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "Everything we do is for fishing."
He changed the subject and continued: "Brother, you and your uncle are not here, and I can't be exposed as pretending to be injured, so the king came to see me and was greeted by the eldest sister. I was asked anxiously by the eldest sister just now, so in order to change the topic, I asked him directly The eldest sister’s impression of the king, I didn’t expect the eldest sister to leave, it seemed to be a bit interesting.”
Zhuge Jin shook his head and said: "You think too far, you can't mention this matter casually."
Zhuge Liang thought for a while, nodded, and said: "Brother is right, this matter is very sensitive, and I know the appropriateness."
Zhuge Jin felt completely relieved when he saw that Zhuge Liang was fine.
However, in order to confirm the news that Zhuge Liang was seriously injured, he stayed at home for the time being and did not go to the palace today.
