Chapter 123 Banquet

Liu Jing, Pan Jun and Wang Can had a great chat, and they stayed until afternoon before leaving.

Next, Liu Jing opened the door to welcome guests again, and there was almost no moment of leisure throughout the afternoon. As expected, several playmates from her former former in Xiangyang came to her. Unfortunately, there were not even outstanding people, let alone the historical celebrities of the Three Kingdoms. This is normal. What kind of people make and what kind of friends? The predecessor is at their level. To be honest, he can actually make friends with Pan Jun, which surprised Liu Jing. The two of them are not the same type of people at all.

Perhaps Liu Jing came to Xiangyang to see too many historical celebrities, and there were some deviations from his perspective. In fact, the playmates of the previous generation were not mediocre people. At least they had good backgrounds, mostly literate, and had good swordsmanship. They could not be said to be both civil and military, but they could barely be considered talented.

Liu Jing warmly received them, but the person who had the best relationship with him in his memory did not come. He couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you see Brother Yu?"

This person's name is Yu Zheng, whose courtesy name is Zixiang, is a native of Xiangyang. He is young and famous for his swordsmanship. He is the only one among them who can make a move.

After hearing this, several people looked at each other, and one of them said, "Zixiang had a conflict with the Cai family of Xiangyang a month ago. He was furious and stabbed the other party, and then said to have fled to the south. We are still guessing whether he will go to you in private."

Liu Jing nodded thoughtfully. Yu Zheng should have no friends in Jingnan. It might have been because he went to join him. After all, his deeds were widely circulated in Xiangyang. Yu Zheng was a fugitive, and there must be many obstacles to the road to the south. I am afraid he is still on the way now.

If you ask who is the first family in Xiangyang, there must be many different opinions and endless debates, but if you ask who is the most popular family in Xiangyang, the result is very obvious. There is only one, the Cai family in Xiangyang.

Liu Biao came to Xiangyang alone, relying on Cai Mao and Kuai Yue's strength to pacify Jingzhou. Cai Mao had made great contributions, and Liu Biao also regarded his lady as his second wife. For a time, the Cai family was very powerful and was known as "the most prosperous of Cai".

This matter involves Cai's family. Liu Jing did not want to talk much, so he immediately changed the topic.

In the evening, Liu Jing left a few people for dinner and gave him treasures from the South China Sea as a gift before leaving. Everyone praised him for not forgetting his past friendship, and Liu Jing laughed it off.

Since he chatted with Zhuge Liang until late at night last night, Liu Jing rested early tonight. The next morning, he took a bus to Zhuge Liang's residence to visit his uncle Zhuge Xuan. The person who led the way was Liu Zhu, and only he had been to Zhuge Liang's home.

Now Zhuge's family lives in the southeast of Xiangyang, at the foot of Xianshan Mountain and on the Hanshui River. The small house covers several acres of land, with six thatched huts inside and outside, and vegetables, fruits and melons are planted in front and behind.

When Zhuge Liang saw his carriage, he immediately took his younger brother Zhuge Jun out. After Liu Jing got off the car, he greeted the two of them. The Zhuge family had very good genes. I remember that Zhuge Jun was about the same age as his younger brother Liu He, but his body was much taller.

Liu Jing followed Zhuge brothers into the house to pay homage to Zhuge Xuan. When he first met Zhuge Xuan in Changsha, although he had a sick face, he could not hide his outstanding appearance. He was a handsome man with a beautiful beard. However, now he was tortured by a serious illness, and was listless in the bed, with no face and haggard.

"Zhongda is here..." Zhuge Xuan lay on the bed and said slowly: "Last year, when he was in Changsha, Kong Ming repeatedly advised me to take care of my health first and then set off. It is said that it was from your advice. But I believe that I am healthy and disagree. Now I am plagued by serious illness and the death is approaching, and I regret it too late." Zhuge Xuan was already terminally ill, and a passage was intermittent and difficult.

Liu Jing felt very worried about it. Such a strong and in his prime, he became like this in just over a year.

In this era, any serious disease is incurable. From the emperor to the common people, it is no different in the face of the disease.

Since the time travel, Liu Jing has not been worried about other things. The only thing he is worried about is his own body. This is really not something that human power can change. Look at the fact that none of the Liu family has lived past forty years of age in the past three generations. How could he not worry about this?

Liu Jing sighed softly and comforted Zhuge Xuan, "Why should Mr. Zhuge be so pessimistic? Zhao Duke, the grand servant Zhao (Qi), who is currently in Xiangyang, is said to be seriously ill in his thirties and was bedridden for seven years. He thought he was about to die, so he said to his brother's last words: 'A real man has been born, and he lives in seclusion without Jizi's etiquette, and he serves as an official without Yi Yin, and Lu Wang's merits are not my god, so what else can he say!' Even his epitaph has been thought of, but he miraculously recovered. Now he is nearly 90 years old this year, his body is still very healthy."

Zhuge Xuan forced his lips and smiled bitterly: "Zhongda has named the wrong person, Mr. Zhao, there is only one person in the world. How dare I hope to be like Mr. Zhao?"

Liu Jing said: "Mr. Zhuge encouraged himself with Duke Zhao."

Zhuge Xuan sighed and speechless.

After all, Zhuge Xuan was seriously ill, so Liu Jing didn't disturb him much, so he sat down for a while before getting up to say goodbye.

Next, he will go to his teacher Song Zhong's residence to attend a banquet. When he learned that Zhuge Liang had nothing to do for the moment, he pulled him up.

Song Zhong was a great scholar who was well-versed in history and was well-known all over the world. His family had no contacts and great scholars who chatted and laughed. Today, he would definitely have a crowd of guests and famous scholars from both north and south.

Zhuge Liang was very moved. He was far from being able to enter this circle. Liu Jing was so kind to him. When he was in Changsha, he introduced Du Xi, Huan Yi, Liu Yan and others to him. Now when he came to Xiangyang, he still did not forget to think about him everywhere. What kind of virtue can Zhuge Liang make Liu Jing do so?

Liu Jing didn't know Zhuge Liang's thoughts, so he kept talking to him on the way.

Today is nominally Song Zhong invited good friends, but in fact it was specially designed for Liu Jing. He is the protagonist today. Therefore, as soon as he entered the door, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The first one to come was Pan Jun. As Song Zhong’s disciple and Liu Jing’s senior brother, he must not miss today’s occasion.

Liu Jing introduced to the two: "Brother, this is Kongming, Langya Zhuge, my confidant. Kongming, this is Pan Chengming, Wuling, which I mentioned to you, I will serve you as my brother."

Zhuge Liang bowed to the sect and said, "I have met Mr. Pan in Zhuge Liang."

Pan Jun nodded and said, "You don't have to be polite."

Seeing that there were many vehicles parked outside the Song Mansion, Liu Jing asked, "Brother, who are the guests today?"

"The nobles from the north alone include Zhao (Qi), Bingqing Zhao Gong, Emperor Meng of Andingliang (Hu), King of Shanyang (Can) Zhongxuan, Zishu of Handan (Chun) Yingchuan, Boran, Boran, and Xiubo of Fan (Qin)..."
