Starting with a series of devilish laughter, all the soldiers and people in Jiangling knew that the man was back.
No matter what Liu Bei's personal character was, his kindness to the people was completely remembered by the people.
At this moment, the people lined the streets on both sides to welcome him, eating pots and cups of pulp. There were only a hundred people in the team, but at this moment, the momentum was like a thousand troops.
Zhao Yun's return naturally received thunderous applause from everyone.
Everyone knows about the rebellion that took place in Guiyang at the beginning of the year.
Zhao Yun, as the most popular general under Liu Bei, his safety naturally touches the heartstrings of countless people.
Now it's better, double happiness comes, and the whole Jiangling City is immersed in a sea of joy.
——
"Sure enough... the air in Jingzhou is indeed sweeter. After running around for several days and nights, as soon as I set foot on the land of Jiangling, my legs no longer hurt, and my waist no longer aches. It's really strange, hahaha!"
Liu Bei lamented the hardship of returning to his hometown and even joked about it.
"Yes, yes, the water at home is indeed sweet. I have been living in Jiangdong for so long, with a string stretched all day long. That kind of life is really not something that people can live."
The soldiers each expressed their feelings. After entering the city, everyone's mood improved a lot.
Wei Yan still looked so bitter and resentful, but he did a very competent job as a guard during this trip. It is estimated that after Zhuge Liang heard the descriptions of Liu Bei and his companions, he would completely eliminate Wei Yan's battle in Hanzhong.
It’s the observation period since the war.
This is also a great improvement for Liu Beijun's strength.
Zhao Yun works conscientiously, but there is no lingering trace of an escape from death. Sure enough, it is Zhao Yun's stability that can gain the most trust, right?
Go straight along the road, in front of the meeting hall in the distance and downstairs of the city gate——
Zhuge Liang, Fazheng... Guan Yu, Zhang Fei... everyone looked at each other eagerly. On the same road, the two sides could see each other from a distance of several miles.
finally…
"Brother!!!"
"Brother!!!"
"Second brother! Third brother!!"
The scene that people expected, or didn't expect, finally happened.
Three big men, one old, one fat, and one tall, ran wildly on the wide street.
At this moment, if anyone dared to stand between them, the end would surely be quite miserable.
Boom——
Everyone heard such a huge muffled sound.
The three strong men were bumping into each other, chest to chest, shoulder to shoulder. At this moment, it seemed as if the whole street was shaking.
Zhuge Liang and Fazheng were so calm. When they saw this scene, they subconsciously shrank their necks and couldn't bear to watch the tragic scene of the fierce men colliding (maybe it was too eye-catching).
"Brother, wuwuwuwu! You... you just need to be fine..."
"Brother...it's really...thank you for your hard work! You have sacrificed everything for this family! We two younger brothers...we are really ashamed of ourselves!"
Zhang Fei couldn't speak anymore, his big black face shrank, and he burst into tears, like a child who had not grown up (but was actually very big).
Guan Yu was more mature, but he still held back his tears, looked at Liu Bei with extremely sincere eyes, and said something from the bottom of his heart.
Liu Bei is really like an elder brother. Although he is not as tall as the two of them, he can hold his two younger brothers in his arms with his long arms.
"Look what you said, who is my eldest brother? Don't forget our oath...not to be born in the same year, the same month and the same day!"
Liu Bei took the lead. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who was crying, looked at each other. They were a little slurred in speech, but they responded in unison:
"I hope that I will die in the same year, the same month and the same day!"
The three of them held hands with each other, and Liu Bei laughed loudly. Infected by Liu Bei's breath, Zhang Fei burst into tears and laughed. Guan Yu had a clear understanding, and the three of them held hands and spun around in a circle.
Under the devilish laughter, Jiangling City was filled with joy just now, but now it is like a hell on earth.
——
Of course, those are all interludes.
The return of Liu Bei, Zhao Yun and others is a fact. As long as we understand this clearly, tonight's carnival in Jiangling City will not seem so abrupt.
Just like the Chinese New Year, every household was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. Even if they were not around Liu Bei, everyone was celebrating Liu Bei's safe return.
The army has already issued an order - wine! Meat! As much as you want, as much as you want! Even the soldiers on duty are willing to do so.
Such a grand place as the conference hall has been transformed into a banquet hall after one afternoon.
The restaurant in the city directly undertook tonight's banquet, and the scene of singing and dancing unfolded at once.
Even Zhuge Liang, who had always been strict, had no opinion on this.
Zhuge Liang, who was holding the cup at this moment, showed a happy smile and walked slowly to Liu Bei, who was chatting with the officials——
"Lord..."
"It's Kong Ming! Oops..."
When Liu Bei saw Zhuge Liang, he had mixed feelings in his heart, not that he hated Zhuge Liang forcibly pushing him to the stage this time.
On the ship, Zhao Yun had clearly explained to Liu Bei the huge benefits they would get even if they did not complete the marriage. Therefore, there is no reason for Liu Bei to hate Zhuge Liang.
It's just... Liu Bei, who saw Zhuge Liang now, thought of the various difficulties he encountered in Jiangdong. He even thought of himself when Xu Shu was not around. Sure enough...
"Thanks to you...Kong Ming..."
Liu Bei smiled and patted Zhuge Liang on the shoulder. His clear eyes made it impossible for Zhuge Liang to say what he wanted to say.
"The best outcome is that my lord is fine. Next, we just need to wait for the good news... no... I don't mean wait for the good news."
It was still some time before the banquet started, and Zhuge Liang finally talked about something that he had always cared about, or rather... what happened in Jiangdong, so that Liu Bei returned empty-handed, and even felt like he had escaped death.
"So... Lord, can you tell me... no... tell us what exactly happened to you in Jiangdong - be as detailed as possible!"
While they were talking, Fazheng Mengda and others who had been prepared for a long time had already gathered together. As Liu Bei's valuable and important think tank now, they must make the most accurate decision possible, so information... is indispensable.
I thought Liu Bei would be as nervous as before, but this time Liu Bei seemed to have expected that everyone would question him so seriously.
Before anyone could say anything to guide him, Liu Bei clapped his hands behind him.
"Before that, there is someone I want to introduce you to Kong Ming... Well... it's not my request, but this person is on the same boat with us. After knowing our identities, he has been insisting on meeting you, saying...
Said to be…"
Before Liu Bei finished speaking, a voice behind him continued his words:
"As long as we meet each other, you will understand."
A short man wearing a bamboo hat and a cloak walked out from behind Liu Bei. If it weren't for Liu Bei's words, Zhuge Liang would have regarded this man as an assassin.
But... suddenly Zhuge Liang felt a sensation like electricity running through his body. He froze on the spot, staring straight at the man in a cloak and hat.
"Let me explain the next thing. After all..."
The man took off his bamboo hat and revealed a strange face. Everyone present showed disgust, except for Zhuge Liang who showed shock.
"After all, everything Uncle Liu Huang saw, heard and encountered along the way was basically seen by me."
