Chapter 1054: In the court today, in the bamboo forest that year
Zhuge Liang was about to say something, even though his heart was in chaos.
Just as Pang Tong said by his side just now - everything is Yi Xiaotian's conspiracy.
The reason why conspiracy is terrible is that even if you know what the other party wants to do, you don't have any means to counter it.
Sometimes I can only watch in despair as the conspiracy takes effect, and in the end I am powerless to accept the disastrous defeat.
But the reason why Zhuge Liang can always fight against Yi Xiaotian is because he does not believe in ghosts and gods in this world - even if he learned various skills related to Qimen Dunjia from Pang Degong, he himself is also an extremely logical person.
Clear person.
Yi Xiaotian... is a person, a real person, he is extremely sure of this.
Chibi was defeated... No matter how Yi Xiaotian relied on various magical means to regain the situation for Cao Cao in the final battle at Xiangyang, Chibi was defeated.
Yi Xiaotian did not expect all the accidents that might happen. Xu Shu's dangerous move to risk his life before leaving directly broke off Yi Xiaotian's original seamless arrangement.
Zhuge Liang is extremely clear. If Yi Xiaotian's tips had really come into full effect during that time at Red Cliff, maybe...maybe now that the world is in Cao Cao's hands, there would be no subsequent changes.
This is why Zhuge Liang still has the faith to get back up even though he was beaten like this by Yi Xiaotian.
As long as you are human, there will be flaws.
If one day, someone tells Zhuge Liang that even if Cao Cao was defeated so miserably in Chibi, Yi Xiaotian would still consider all of this - and he could also prove this to him, proving that so far, all their hopes have failed.
If Yi Xiaotian did it intentionally, and it was all just to satisfy his desire to continue teasing the world... Zhuge Liang might really choose to end his life peacefully on an ordinary day.
Scholars can be killed—but not humiliated... If his existence is just to become an object of entertainment for others, he would rather choose to die.

"Everyone, can you please listen to me and say a few more words... You may have a lot of worries and concerns in your hearts right now, and you may even vaguely feel that the road you have been exploring has no future... But no matter what, please listen.
I will explain to you, and I am willing to risk my life to assure you that... everything is not over yet, and even... even the opportunity for a decisive victory has appeared."
Zhuge Liang was dumbfounded as he looked at the familiar figure who had walked past him for the unknown number of times today. Suddenly, he mistakenly thought that he had returned to that bamboo forest and thatched hut——
At that time... every time I was in such an embarrassing situation, this classmate who was thinner than myself and whose voice was more sluggish than myself was always able to save myself without any scruples with a timid smile.
Do you miss this feeling?
In fact, Zhuge Liang didn't miss it that much... none of them were in danger of their lives at that time, and there was no cliff behind them. They were deflated and scolded, and their lives could still go on.
At that time, he just stubbornly believed that he could save the world, and he was always working hard towards this goal.
Heroes emerge from troubled times, and even Zhuge Liang would stubbornly believe that he was destined to be born in such troubled times, and that the world was a stage set up for him.
But when the world really fell into chaos and everyone had to separate due to various reasons, Pang Degong called him and Pang Tong into the thatched cottage and told them personally that the world... needs the two of them to save it.
At that time, Zhuge Liang was puzzled.
Zhuge Liang did not look down on Pang Tong. As Pang Degong's disciple, Pang Tong always looked innocent. No matter what he studied, he never worked hard or concentrated on his own.
In this way...the two have a very good relationship, but...Zhuge Liang has never treated Pang Tong around him as someone who has the same mission as himself.
It's not that he looked down upon him, but he had never thought about it - he never asked about Pang Tong's future plans. He thought to himself that if it were Pang Tong, his future wish might be to be like his teacher, to be a leisurely teacher.
He secluded himself in the mountains, drinking and having fun every day, concentrating on poetry and songs to cultivate his sentiments, and occasionally delving into something he was interested in. If a few works survive in the world, he must be a figure who can occupy a few words in history books.
That was probably the first time Zhuge Liang refuted Duke Pang De.
"If someone can save this world, then that person must be me, and there is no need for the teacher to remind you of this - but...but Shiyuan has a brilliant nature, and he has no intention of doing so, so why should you do whatever you want, teacher?"
And to impose such a heavy responsibility on others..."
"Uncle... Tong already knows your wish... In this case, from now on, Tong will work with Kong Ming to save the world's people. No matter what, Tong will contribute his meager strength to end this troubled world.
…”
Probably, Zhuge Liang at this moment has the same expression as he did at that time.
Pang Tong is such a person who talks to himself, just like what he is doing now... But after so many years, Zhuge Liang is no longer the self-sufficient self he used to be.
At that time, he would only leave the forest in silence in anger and confusion; now, he was only surprised for a moment, and then stepped aside, watching with emotion as Pang Tong did what he was most familiar with, the most important thing.
Things you are good at.
"So what you said that day was true..."
——
Pang Tong's words really have a unique charm.
Maybe everyone has heard too much of Zhuge Liang's kind of superficial comfort...but the comfort that doesn't reach the heart. If you hear too much, people will become numb.
"I remember that I just came here, intending to talk to you about the current situation in Jiangdong. I have not forgotten this, so please rest assured."
"After General Guan made a frank statement just now, I am in agreement with you all. The Han Dynasty should not be destroyed. Cao Cao's actions must have gone against the will of the people of the world. It has nothing to do with whether the emperor is alive now... On the contrary, it should be said,
If the Emperor has really been brutally murdered by Cao Cao, we, as ministers, are the ones who should fight back and avenge the Emperor - otherwise, even us...even our most loyal followers have given up resistance, then what will happen in this world?
Who can wave the flag and shout for the sake of the common people?"
Pang Tong's voice was gradual, from being kind and persuasive at the beginning, to empathizing with him later, and now...his suddenly passionate tone really attracted everyone's attention, making everyone start to calm down and calm down.
Listen quietly to what he has to say.
Seeing this scene, Zhuge Liang and Fazheng looked at each other, and both saw unwavering faith in each other's eyes.
