In the room, Han Gang saw the Zhuge brothers 'expressions and knew that his words had aroused their suspicion. After thinking for a while, he covered it up awkwardly," I've been walking in the north. When I arrived at Nanyang, I often heard people mention the name' Mr. Wolong'. After asking around, I learned that Mr. Polylore was very famous. Therefore, when I heard the introduction of my benefactor, I was shocked. Please forgive me, Mr. Polylore!"”
The Zhuge brothers looked at each other and felt relieved. They believed that Han Gang was talking about the Zhuge Wolong that they had heard in Nanyang. If he had said that he had heard about it long ago, it would not explain his previous words. Zhuge Kongming had not left his mountain yet, so how could he be so famous? Moreover, Han Gang said that it was often, not often. This was a huge coincidence, and it was barely acceptable.
Even so, Zhuge Liang still had a trace of doubt in his heart because Han Gang's expression just now clearly showed how shocked he was. This was not an expression that could be shown when he saw someone he had heard of. However, doubts were doubts. Zhuge Liang did not continue to investigate. Instead, he smiled and nodded. He said softly," Little friend, you have come from afar and are injured. You can just rest in peace in this thatched cottage. Let's put other things aside for the time being!"”
Hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Han Gang still said with a little unnatural respect," Thank you, sir.”
Anyone could hear the respectful tone of his words, which made Zhuge Liang even more confused. It was not strange for Han Gang to say this gratefully, but once he used a respectful tone, he had to think it over. It was his third brother who wanted to save him, and the person who took him in was also in the situation where he was not present. Now that they had just met, the child in front of him was so respectful to him. It was no wonder he was puzzled.
Thinking of this, Zhuge Liang glanced at Zhuge Jun, who also had a puzzled look on his face. He smiled and replied," If that's the case, have a good rest, young friend. We won't disturb you anymore."”
After saying that, he gestured to Zhuge Jun and took the lead to walk out of the door. Only Han Gang, who was immersed in shock, was left alone, his thoughts changing.
After the Zhuge brothers walked out of the room, they kept talking about Han Gang. It was not until Zhuge Jun told his second brother about how he had rescued Han Gang that both of them fell silent for a while. Although they were silent, they did not underestimate the unusually mature nine-year-old child.
No one knew what he was worried about. Zhuge Jun sighed and said," I was puzzled when I saw the child's mouth full of blood and flesh. Later, when I checked the wolf's corpse, I suddenly realized that the child had used this bloody method to kill the mountain wolf. Even an adult would be shocked to see that he could do such a thing in a dangerous situation. On the other hand, this child's speech and behavior are not like ordinary people. It's fine if he learns well, but if he falls into the evil path, he will definitely be a murderer!"”
Zhuge Liang thought for a moment before replying with a smile," Third brother, you don't have to worry about this. I observed that although this child was vague about his background, his sincere eyes and words showed that he was also a sincere person. As for whether his temperament will change drastically in the future, it's not something we can consider. The only thing that puzzles me now is that this child looks like he died young, but his glabella and spiritual altar are full of vitality. It's very illogical!”
Zhuge Liang's words were baffling, but Zhuge Jun was not surprised. Instead, he asked curiously," Then what's going on?”
From this, it could be heard that Zhuge Jun had some understanding of his brother's ability to judge people. Zhuge Liang had learned a lot in his life, so he had more or less dabbled in the art of reading people.
Hearing his third brother's question, Zhuge Liang didn't know how to answer. He smiled bitterly and replied softly," This... I can't say why. I think I can't understand the physiognomy and have only learned a little. I'd better invite Mister Sima Wei to take a look at it in the future!"”
Seeing his elder brother's slight regret towards physiognomy, Zhuge Jun couldn't help but laugh and say," If elder brother really understands this physiognomy, wouldn't you be comparing me to elder brother? Moreover, with brother's talent, it's fine if he lacks this physiognomy, right? There were countless skills in the world, so how could one learn all of them? Elder brother, why do you have to worry about yourself?"
Zhuge Liang smiled when he heard Zhuge Jun's words. He did not say anything else and continued to walk forward slowly.
Suddenly, Zhuge Jun seemed to have thought of something and said with interest,"Tsk! That's right! Didn't his elder brother sigh and say that Zhan 'er was intelligent but lacked perseverance? When he came back, he said he couldn't learn everything his brother had learned. How about this? Although this child is young, he has revealed the quality of jade. Why don't you teach him carefully? Moreover, with his brother's moral character, talent, and education, even if he couldn't become a general in the future, he would be able to take on great responsibilities. Big brother, what do you think of this proposal?"
The sudden words made Zhuge Liang slightly stunned, and then he revealed a look of interest. However, after thinking about it, Zhuge Liang suddenly smiled and asked softly," Where are you going this time?”
Zhuge Liang was smart. He knew his brother's temperament. He must have his own reasons for handing over such an outstanding child to someone else to teach. The child was only nine years old this year. Moreover, he was seriously injured. It was impossible for him to bring the child with him and teach him carefully. As such, it was impossible for him not to guess that Zhuge Jun was going on a trip.
Zhuge Jun did not look upset when his elder brother exposed him. He quickly smiled and replied," I really can't hide anything from you, elder brother. I'm on my way out this time because I heard about the war in the north. Cao Mengde is doing his best to govern Jingnan. I want to see his demeanor. All along, the martial arts that he has learned and sold to the imperial family are the homes of people with lofty aspirations. Moreover, our Zhuge family has been in decline for several generations. Now is the best time to take advantage of the chaos to achieve glory!" Now that the warlords are divided, if the three of us join one family, we might lose. If we split up, at least we can continue our bloodline, right? Now that my friend and I have made an agreement, we will leave in a few days. That child is so outstanding, I really don't want to see a wall covered in dust! I hope elder brother doesn't blame me."
At the end of his speech, Zhuge Jun's smiling expression turned serious, which showed his determination.
Zhuge Liang looked at his third brother's expression and pondered for a moment before replying," Since my third brother has already given up, it's not good for me to stop him. I'll observe the child for a while. If he can really inherit my mantle, I'll let him go." You don't have to worry about this third brother, but I still want to say something. Not only do you have to have means to obtain the world, but you also need to have a strategy. Since ancient times, only those who win the hearts of the people can obtain the world. I hope brother will treat it seriously.”
After saying this, Zhuge Liang stopped talking and looked up at the clear sky.
Zhuge Jun was not in a hurry to say anything when he saw his elder brother's reaction. The scene fell silent. After an unknown period of time, as if he had made a decision, Zhuge Jun suddenly said calmly," If Cao Cao is not my appointed master during my trip to the north, then I will continue to tour the world and look for someone who can assist me. If Cao Cao meets my service standards, then I will return to Longzhong and ask my elder brother to resign. If you and I fight on the battlefield in the future, each of us will serve his own master. We should prioritize public affairs over private affairs." Please don't leave any evidence for future generations to criticize. Please agree to be my brother.”
Zhuge Liang was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect Zhuge Jun to say such a thing. The meaning behind his words was clear. In the future, the two brothers would not show any mercy. How determined was he? How helpless.
Zhuge Liang stared intently at his third brother. Similarly, Zhuge Jun did not flinch under his brother's focused gaze. The two of them stared at each other for about a moment.
Zhuge Liang suddenly smiled and said gratefully," Third brother! You've grown up. You have your own ambition, I am very gratified.”
After saying that, Zhuge Liang suddenly raised his right hand and said loudly," If you join Cao Cao, there will be a day when you and I will fight each other. I will clap my hands with you and swear an oath of alliance. I will put the public first and then the private. I will not care about life or death!"”
Finally, Zhuge Jun was encouraged by his elder brother under his own persistence. How could he not be excited? One must know that Zhuge Jun's father had passed away early, and his eldest brother had become an official in the Sun family of Dongwu. Now, the person whom the elder brother was like a father to had changed to his second brother, Zhuge Liang. If Zhuge Liang did not speak, Zhuge Jun would inevitably bear the name of being unfilial even if he did not care about the other officials. Now that he had received his brother's encouragement, Zhuge Jun was instantly excited.
Zhuge Jun also raised his right hand with a trembling hand. He smiled and swore,"First public, then private, life and death!"
After saying that, Zhuge Jun slowly bent his body and knelt down. He kowtowed three times respectfully to his elder brother, then stood up quietly, turned around, and left.
A few days later, on a bright and beautiful morning, Han Gang stood with Zhuge Liang at the gate of the thatched cottage with the help of the young man who had been taking care of him. He looked rather sadly at the disappearing figure in the distance.
The feeling of parting had always been sad. At the same time, it also indicated the unhappiness of the world. Weren't the Zhuge brothers in front of him seeking their own wise men because of their political discord?
"I've never heard of Zhuge Jun being so famous in the Three Kingdoms. Did he really vote for Cao Cao in history? Why isn't it written in the book?" Han Gang, who already vaguely knew what had happened, could only guess the reason behind it and wait for the changes in the future.
