The mountains of Fanshan, within the stone pavilion.

Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Ke said goodbye to Sun Quan, got on their horses and walked slowly down the mountain.

Sun Quan gave Zhuge Jin three orders in total.

Actually, there are four things in total.

However, Sun Quan handed over the task of investigating Mianshui Villa and assassinating Huang Laoxie to the even more ruthless Lu Meng.

Let him contact the killer and assassinate Huang Laoxie!

As for Zhuge Jin’s mission.

In addition to sending Zhuge Ke to Jingzhou to adopt him to his second brother Zhuge Liang, there was also a "marriage proposal" in which Sun Deng, the eldest son of Soochow, proposed marriage to Miss Guan San, the daughter of Guan Yu.

Apart from this, there is the most important thing left, and it is also the thing with the highest priority that Sun Quan has repeatedly emphasized.

——Go to Changsha County and bring the miracle doctor Zhang Zhongjing.

As an envoy who often travels to other countries, Zhuge Jin has a unique source of intelligence.

Therefore... when he heard this order, Zhuge Jin pointed out to Sun Quan that Zhang Zhongjing had been seriously ill for a year and was now lying on the bed dying.

Can…

At that time, when Sun Quan heard the news, he stood up uncharacteristically and his tone was cold and firm.

Zhuge Jin especially remembered his words in his heart.

——"This Zhongjing is a dead man, and he was brought back to Gu. Gu doesn't care whether he lives or lives, but Gu only wants Zijing to live!"

Although he spoke angrily, Zhuge Jin could feel from these words that the condition of the Grand Governor Lu Su was definitely not easy.

This also made Zhuge Jin's heart suddenly cast into a heavy haze.

Just like the importance of Dharma to the Shu Han Dynasty.

Zhuge Jin knew very well what Lu Su meant to Soochow.

However, considering Zhang Zhongjing's current situation, this task is not easy!

"father…"

Suddenly hearing his son calling him, Zhuge Jin felt a sigh of relief. He was thinking...perhaps, the fate between father and son only has a few days left, right?

And the sudden change of this fate that has lasted for more than ten years will always make the father "heartbroken!"

call…

After taking a long breath, Zhuge Jin slowly raised his head and looked at his son.

It is different from the rapid running up the mountain.

When going down the mountain, the atmosphere between the father and son Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Ke suddenly became much silent.

The two were riding side by side, as if there was a "tacit understanding" lingering between the father and son.

"Do you plan to go to Fankou, pass through Xiakou, and go to Jiangling?"

Zhuge Ke opened his mouth first, breaking the silence.

"No." Zhuge Jin said softly: "Let's go to Changsha by water. It's more urgent there. My lord wants that Zhang Zhongjing!"

In fact, Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang had an agreement long ago. Zhuge Jin wanted to send a son to Jingzhou to be adopted by him. After he was sent to Jingzhou, there would be someone to take care of him, so there was no need to worry about it.

"father…"

There was another shout from Zhuge Ke.

Inexplicably, I didn't think it before, but now that father and son are about to separate, the words "Dad" suddenly seem so precious.

"What happened again?"

Zhuge Jin controlled his emotions. He was an adult and did not want to appear too sentimental. He should also support his son's choice.

As the saying goes, choice is greater than effort, Keer has his unique understanding of this troubled world.

"The child has something he wants to remind his father." Zhuge Ke blurted out.

Without waiting for Zhuge Ke to speak, Zhuge Jin quickly raised his hand to interrupt him, "You have to think clearly. After you have been to Changsha and then to Jiangling, you will be your second uncle's son. Wherever you stand,

The position should be Uncle Liu’s side…”

Zhuge Jin is too wise.

Some topics that were mentioned and discussed freely before are now discussed with caution due to their different positions!

"But... before I got to Jiangling, I was still my father's son!" Zhuge Ke said with a smile: "Before the position changes, the child can still remind his father, right?"

hehe…

Zhuge Ke's words made Zhuge Jin feel somewhat relieved.

He raised his hand: "Are you talking about Zhang Zhongjing?"

"No..." Zhuge Ke waved his hand quickly, "The child reminded his father that it was 'Miss Guan San'!"

ah…

Before Zhuge Jin could be surprised, Zhuge Ke's words came out one after another.

"The child feels that Marquis Wu asked his father to propose marriage to Miss Guan San on behalf of the eldest son. This is a clever move to 'break the situation in Soochow'. This move... Marquis Wu can... not..."

Zhuge Ke suddenly changed his mind and said: "This must be a reminder from the Governor of Lu Su. Only Wu Hou could come up with such an ingenious strategy of killing three birds with one stone!"

this…

Zhuge Ke's words made Zhuge Jin a little confused.

He asked: "How do you say killing three birds with one stone?"

"Father wants to..." Zhuge Ke talked eloquently, "If Guan Yunchang agrees to propose marriage this time, the first person to bear the brunt is Miss Guan San marrying into Soochow. Once the situation in Jingzhou changes in the future, Miss Guan San will be the most important person in Soochow.

A good hostage can make Guan Yunchang throw a rat-proof weapon, this is the first stone!"

Hmm…

Zhuge Jin narrowed his eyes slightly.

Although he didn't think about it deliberately, when he heard his son's words this time, he felt that it made sense.

Zhuge Ke's words continued, "Secondly, if Guan Yu agrees, will Miss Guan San become a hostage? What's worse, Guan Yu will fall into a trap, a Wu Hou... No, Wu Hou and Lu Da

The trap laid by the governors together successfully set off the trap between Guan Yu and Liu Bei!"

As Zhuge Ke's words reached Zhuge Jin's ears.

Boom...a blast!

Zhuge Jin's pupils suddenly widened. He stopped his horse and looked at his son in front of him in disbelief.

Zhuge Jin is a smart man and good at diplomacy.

When his son reminded him to this point, he suddenly understood.

You know, in diplomatic actions, matching is always important. For example, Guan Yu attending a meeting alone can be invited by Lu Su.

But it cannot be invited by Sun Quan, let alone Lu Meng and others.

This is because of the unequal status of the two parties.

That is to say…

How could Sun Quan's eldest son marry Miss Guan San?

According to the ranking of status, Sun Quan’s eldest son Sun Deng can only marry Liu Bei’s daughter, or conversely, Liu Bei’s son can marry Sun Quan’s daughter!

——Otherwise, this would be an extremely disrespectful diplomacy.

Even if, to put it ten thousand steps back, even if Liu Bei has no daughter, Sun Quan’s son asks to marry Guan Yu’s daughter.

For this matter, you cannot propose marriage to Guan Yu, but you need to propose marriage to Liu Bei.

When Guan Yu proposes marriage to Guan Yu, he wants to agree. To Sun Quan, this means "degrading his status", but to Guan Yu, what does this mean?

Does this Jingzhou belong to him, Liu Bei? Or does it belong to you, Guan Yu?

Who is in charge of the Liu Bei Group?

How could there be no rift in the relationship between Liu Bei and Guan Yu?

There is provocation and dissension here...it's hard to guard against it.

This time, Zhuge Jin completely understood.

In such a small marriage proposal, there are many twists and turns.

Sun Quan was not good at commanding troops, but he was still good at "struggle". Neither Guan Yu nor Liu Bei were his opponents.

but…

What if you don’t agree?

Zhuge Jin quickly raised another question.

"Then...what if Guan Yu refuses with fierce words?"

"This is the last of three birds with one stone."

Zhuge Ke explained, "If Guan Yu refuses, he must have seen the trick here, and he will definitely speak fiercely and rebuke Wu Hou, but this... just plays into Wu Hou's ambitions!"

"How to say it?"

"——It seems that Guan Yu's words are sharp and he is quick to express his words for a while, but in fact, in the eyes of the world, Wu Houcai has a hot face but a cold butt, and he has suffered great grievances! And this grievance can also make the world's

Soochow was even more sympathetic, after all, the 'Wu Hou lowered himself to ask for marriage' was met with such humiliation!"

Speaking of this, Zhuge Ke paused for a moment and continued, "In this way, in the future, once the situation changes, Wu Hou can always switch sides on the grounds that 'the allies look down on Soochow'. The so-called 'departure has a reputation',"
