Chapter seven hundred and twenty third meeting
"Meet brother (Brother Zhongyu)." Xun and others went straight to the city lord's palace without stopping at all. They met Xun Yue who was about to discuss matters with Zhuge Liang, and several of them bowed.
Seeing Xun and others, Xun Yue smiled slightly: "Okay, get up! I'm just a swordsman and penman who has half of his body buried in the ground. He can't bear your great gift. Come on, I will take you to see the master."
"Thank you very much, brother (Brother Zhongyu)."
Although Xun Yue said this, Xun Yue and others still treated him with the courtesy of their elders without going beyond their limits.
A group of people went straight to where Zhuge Liang was handling government affairs.
"Kong Ming, the person you want to see is here." Xun Yue said loudly with a smile as soon as he entered the door.
Zhuge Liang, who was immersed in handling government affairs, shuddered slightly when he heard this, but he still raised his head after carefully reviewing the documents he was dealing with.
Following Zhuge Liang's gaze, there was Xun's slightly kind gaze. The two people's gazes intertwined, but there was no spark as expected, but instead there was a sense of sympathy for each other.
Xi Zhicai and Cheng Yu looked at Zhuge Liang, then looked at Xun, and had to lament in their hearts: Another person with great appearance.
Perhaps it is God's preference. Most capable people have handsome looks. Of course, there are also people with strange looks like Cao Cao and Pang Tong. But Xun and Zhuge Liang, even if they are talented, they still have such outstanding looks.
This is a bit unbearable.
Xun's appearance was famous even in Yingchuan where there were many Confucian scholars and scholars. Everyone knew the name of Liuxiang Xun Ling. His appearance has always been firmly at the top of the list among the counselors under Cao Cao.
Just like his ability. Not to mention the many comments from later generations, even Mi Heng, a madman who criticized Cao Cao's civil and military personnel, gave Xun an acidic remark about "taking the opportunity to express condolences" after holding it back for a long time.
The meaning of being a mourner is that apart from being good-looking, you have no ability and can only be used to attend the funeral on behalf of the court. Mi Heng really has nothing to scold Xun except calling him a pretty boy. This is how the ugly man is deeply attached to the handsome guy.
What a grudge! Xun's reputation as a handsome man under Cao Cao is no less than that of Jiangdong's Sun Lang Zhoulang. They are both the type that attracts millions of people and is the idol of countless girls.
As for Zhuge Liang, he was eight feet tall and had a face as beautiful as a crown jewel. Although his appearance was not as beautiful as that of Xun, he had a touch of heroic spirit. The difference between the two was almost the same. If Zhou Yu was added to the mix, he would have been the three great counselors of Wei, Shu and Wu in history.
Even if you have both a handsome man and a handsome man.
Who said the ancients didn't care about looks? Why did Zhang Song abandon Cao Cao? Why did Pang Tong leave Sun Quan? Why did Yuan Shao respond to every call? In this era, the requirements for appearance are very high, and aesthetics are also very strict, as shown by Cao Zhi's Luo Shen Fu.
this
The level of aesthetic cognition of people of this era. Handsome guys are popular everywhere, but people like Pang Tong and Zhang Song are often not recognized for their talents. Generally, they die at the first sight of the interview. This is one of the reasons why Pang Tong is full of resentment towards Zhuge Liang.
.
Although everyone present was good-looking, they were no match for the two handsome men Xun and Zhuge Liang, and they were immediately reduced to mere foils.
The two people's eyes intertwined, completely ignoring the others, and their eyes were full of admiration. If Yuan Shu, a former veteran driver, was here, he would definitely suspect that these two people might have a habit of cutting off their sleeves.
"When are you two going to meet?" While the two of them were looking at each other as if no one else was watching, Xun Yue couldn't help but ask.
The two came to their senses and smiled apologetically to everyone.
"Xun Wenruo (played by Zhicai, Cheng Zhongde) has seen a great man in business." The three of them cupped their hands and said.
People had to bow their heads under the eaves. After the defeat, they were all white now. They had to be the first to pay respects to Zhuge Liang, a junior who held a "high position".
"Excuse me." Zhuge Liang didn't panic, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner. Although the people in front of him were all "seniors", he now represented Da Chu, so there was no need to lower his posture too low.
"Thank you, sir."
"The purpose of coming here is clear to me. The situation in the southwest countries is complicated now, but the official appointments have not yet been arranged. Therefore, I have temporarily invited some of you to serve as swordsmen and pens under a certain command. I don't know what your thoughts are?" Zhuge Liang went straight to the point.
He said that he had already understood the situation from the letter Zhang Zhao sent earlier, and he did not make any detours with others.
"I am willing to listen to your orders."
The official is an official, but it can be regarded as the smallest official position. However, Xun and others were not angry. They had done some homework before coming and understood the current situation of the southwest countries.
.
The general manager of the southwestern countries in front of them is just a "ninth-grade" petty official, and Xun Yue is just a knife and pen official. What else can they say? Yuan Shu opened the small stove so obviously that they have nothing to say. The knife and pen official
Let's take the sword and pen officials. Anyway, they have all held high positions. They don't care about the size of their official positions. They are not here to be officials in the Great Chu.
"Yeah." Zhuge Liang nodded, casually took out a part of the document on the table in front of him, divided it into three parts, stood up and handed it to the three of them.
"I believe that you all know that the situation here is complicated and that there are many things. I hope that you can share my worries with me. You can take these documents for review for the time being and return them to me tomorrow, and I will assign responsibilities to you."
"Nuo." Seeing Zhuge Liang's straightforwardness, Xun and others didn't bother and just stood up and left.
After a few people left, Zhuge Liang returned to his seat and continued to immerse himself in reviewing documents.
"I thought you would chat with him for a while." Xun Yue said with a hint of teasing.
"The days are long, and there is plenty of time." Zhuge Liang said lightly. To be honest, before Xun arrived, he was still a little nervous and anxious to win, but after seeing Xun, his heart calmed down. Because he could feel that Xun
He is the same kind of person.
"How about it?"
"Very strong." Although they had only met once, Zhuge Liang had already felt how powerful Xun was. Whether it was the spiritual power that was hidden in the vast sea, or the wisdom in his eyes that could see through everything, Zhuge Liang felt the pressure.
"You two are really similar." Xun Yue sighed: "Every time I see you now, I seem to see Wen Ruo in his youth."
"But I'm better than him." Zhuge Liang said calmly and confidently.
"You're so rude." Xun Yue couldn't help but curl her lips.
"Isn't that what you want me to do?"
"Haha, I'm old! I can't compare to you young people." Xun Yue sat on the chair, lay back hard, raised his head and sighed.
"Don't worry, I will definitely not be just the second Xun Wenruo, I will surpass him." Zhuge Liang said firmly.
Chapter completed!
