Chapter 516: Cao and Liu fight in front, Pang Hui takes action in the back ()

"Brother Jun Gong, I miss you so much after not seeing you for so long."

"I didn't expect that General Wei would still miss me after we left Jingzhou."

"Brother Jun Gong has great talent, please don't underestimate yourself."

Liu Bei held Zhuge Gui's hand and chatted with him intermittently. During the conversation, he asked about Zhuge Gui's condition in a subtle way and observed his condition. Although his complexion had improved, the fatigue revealed in his words and eyes could not be faked.

In addition, Zhuge Gui avoided talking about his illness, obviously not wanting to worry Zhuge Liang.

Although Liu Bei had no children, he could understand Zhuge Gui's feelings. Therefore, he did not ask questions and even avoided the question.

As for why Zhuge Gui and a group of Xiangyang primary school students came to Chang'an, one reason was to provide Zhuge Gui with a better environment for treatment. Secondly, according to the fairyland, it was time for him to go to school. Pang Degong was originally a hermit, and Liu Bei always felt bad for bothering Pang Degong.

Zheng Xuan happened to come. Liu Bei had admired this teacher of Sun Qian for a long time.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Zhuge Gui, the topic gradually turned to Zhuge Liang.

At this time, Zhuge Liang was strong and sturdy, like a calf.

What’s more important is that Zhuge Liang no longer has the overly mature feeling he had before. As the saying goes in the fairyland, children from poor families become independent early.

Liu Bei, who lost his father at a young age, had a deep understanding of this.

No matter how smart they are, children are still children and teenagers are still teenagers. Intelligence cannot change the fact that they are young. The sudden burden on one's shoulders can temper the body and mind, but it can also crush one's will.

Obviously Zhuge Liang is the former, but no one wants to suffer since birth, and these can be completely avoided.

Liu Bei, who had experienced the pain of his childhood, naturally did not want Zhuge Liang to go through the same thing.

Now it seems
Not bad?
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Liu Bei's lips.

He even got into a playful mood and squatted slightly, looking Zhuge Liang in the eye, testing his academic performance.

From classics to mathematics, from mathematics to breeding, and from breeding to water conservancy, he actually covered all of them.

Even if it is an issue that Zhuge Liang did not touch upon, from a logical point of view, there is no problem to be found.

Liu Bei did not feel frustrated, but laughed happily, "Your talent is really admirable!"

Zhuge Liang was also delighted when he heard this, but he still clasped his fists in return and said modestly: "General Lord Wei, you are too kind. It is Master Pang who taught me well."

"Good." Liu Bei nodded, patted Zhuge Liang on the shoulder, and pointed at Cao Ang and Liu Xie, one older and one younger, behind him, "While studying, don't forget to have a good chat with your classmates."

"But." A trace of worry appeared between Zhuge Liang's brows. He looked at Zhuge Gui, seeming worried about Zhuge Gui's condition.

Zhuge Gui wanted to say, "Liang, I'm fine, you can go now."

Unexpectedly, Liu Bei spoke first, "Don't worry, I'll take care of Brother Jun Gong."

"Yes!" Zhuge Liang nodded vigorously and walked towards Liu Xie, Cao Ang and others.

Zhuge Gui sighed in his heart: Liang is really close to General Wei.

"Brother Jun Gong, please follow me. The imperial physician has been waiting for you for a long time."

"Thank you for your help, General Wei."

Just when Cao Ang was feeling extremely anxious and couldn't calm down, he discovered that Zhuge Liang, whom Liu Xie called "Mr. Wolong", actually walked towards him.

Liu Xie excitedly waved his arms at Zhuge Liang, "Uncle Zhuge, I'm here!"

"." Zhuge Liang felt angry and amused, "Brother Liu, didn't I tell you? You don't have to call me uncle. We are of similar age, so we can just get along normally."

Cao Ang immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this 'Mr. Wolong' turned out to be a normal person.

"How can that be possible! Isn't it a big taboo to mess up the generations?!" Liu Xie's attitude was very tough.

Zhuge Liang shook his head helplessly. He looked at Cao Ang and then at Liu Xie, as if he understood something. He then comforted Cao Ang, "My dear, just think that Brother Liu is joking. Don't take it seriously. Don't pay attention to anything like great grandfather."

Liu Xie suddenly became anxious. What was wrong with this Mr. Wolong? Didn't he want to take care of the younger generation? !
Unlike Liu Xie's anxiety, Cao Ang was overjoyed, and the corners of his mouth rose uncontrollably. He asked Liu Xie, "Uncle Master, don't you listen to your uncle's words?"

"Ah?" Liu Xie was stunned. He instinctively wanted to oppose Cao Ang. But after thinking about it carefully, he realized that what Cao Ang said was not wrong.

"What happened?"

At this moment, a group of students from Xiangyang stepped forward.

The leaders were the brothers Ma Chao and Ma Dai. They were like loyal and reliable guards, guarding Fa Zheng, Pang Tong, Huang Xu, Guan Ping and Liu Ba. Behind them were Liao Hua and Pang Hui.

At first glance, it looks like a group of troops trekking through mountains and rivers.

"Who bullied you, my good son? Tell me and your uncle will avenge you!" Ma Dai raised his fist. He looked at Zhuge Liang and then at Cao Ang.

Then he walked straight towards Cao Ang without looking back, winking and looking ferocious, "Is it you?!"

".no."

"Brother Ma, how can you be so reckless? You come right up and question this young man. Everything should be reasonable!" Zhuge Liang's words revealed a hint of helplessness.

Cao Ang felt sorry for Zhuge Liang. Look, look! This young man is about the same age as the Prince of Chenliu, but he is so calm.

but
Can Brother Zhuge's words subdue Brother Ma?

Cao Ang expressed his doubts about this, but the subsequent developments were really beyond his imagination.

Ma Dai's face suddenly changed, but his expression softened. "Ah, Prime Minister, you know me. Didn't I just want to scare him? How could I do that so easily? I remember your teachings!"

"Ah?" Cao Ang was stunned. What did he just hear? Prime Minister? Where did the Han Dynasty get a prime minister?
Before Cao Ang could react, Pang Tong stood up and said, "Wolong, General Ma is no longer the impulsive man he was before. He is just too concerned. Don't blame him. After all, General Ma is a loyal and righteous man. How could he use lynching indiscriminately? Don't you think so, General Ma?"

Ma Dai nodded subconsciously, but he always felt that there was something wrong with Pang Tong's words, but he couldn't find any fault with it.

"Well said, big brother!" Before Ma Dai could think deeply, Huang Xu, who was standing behind Ma Dai, began to applaud.

Ma Chao said to Cao Ang with a face full of shame: "I was reckless just now. I hope you can bear with me."

"My lord, you don't have to be so polite. I know Brother Ma means no harm." Cao Ang expressed his understanding. He knew how difficult it was to be the eldest brother.

Cao Ang's answer won the favor of Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Ma Chao, Ma Dai and others, and they all felt that Cao Ang was worth making friends with.

Ma Chao simply struck while the iron was hot and asked, "Sir, you have the demeanor of a gentleman. I don't know your name, can you tell us?"

"Cao Ang." Cao Ang said his name with a smile.

Unexpectedly, the whole audience fell silent after these words were spoken.

Ma Chao, who was so enthusiastic just now, suddenly became angry. Ma Dai widened his eyes in disbelief and blurted out subconsciously, "Are you the Cao Ang who died because Cao Mengde slept with Aunt Zhang Xiu?!"

"?!" Cao Ang's smile froze completely, his face turned ugly, veins on his forehead throbbing, his eyes staring at Ma Dai viciously, his fists clenched so hard that they made a crackling sound. To be honest, he really wanted to teach Ma Dai a lesson. What did it mean to die because Cao Mengde slept with Zhang Xiu's aunt? Wasn't Zhang Xiu my father's Sima? How could my father sleep with Zhang Xiu's aunt? !
However, Cao Ang, who was usually able to face Liu Xie in a friendly manner, did not take action directly. Instead, he suppressed his anger and said, "My father is Cao Cao, Cao Mengde, the Grand Herald, one of the Nine Ministers. I dare to conclude that my father did not do what you said! Did you make a mistake?!"

Unexpectedly, Fa Zheng, who was standing behind Ma Dai and Ma Chao, suddenly shouted, "The son of Cao thief, that is also a little Cao thief! General Ma, hurry up!" Zhuge Liang's face suddenly changed, and he stopped him, "Don't do it, don't do it!"

However, this time Zhuge Liang's words had no effect. Ma Dai apologized to Zhuge Liang and said, "Prime Minister, although I remember your instructions, your instructions are no more important than the Shangshu Ling!"

"Brother!"

"Dai!"

The next moment, Ma Chao and Ma Dai shouted in unison, swung their fists and attacked Cao Ang.

Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong also took action at this moment and went forward to stop the fight.

Huang Xu shouted excitedly: "Brother, I'm here to help you!"

Guan Ping was about to step forward to stop the fight, but Pang Hui rushed towards him from behind, "Guan Ping, I have tolerated you for a long time!"

"Pang Hui, you bastard, who allowed you to beat General Guan!" Liao Hua's eyes immediately turned red, and he reached out to grab Pang Hui. Pang Hui could beat anyone else, but he dared to beat General Guan's son? He was so bold! How hateful!
At the same time, Liao Hua shouted to his friend Liu Ba: "Quick, come and help me!"

"No! How can I watch Cao Gong's son being beaten? I want to help Cao Gong's son!" Liu Ba decisively rejected Liao Hua.

Liu Xie came to his senses and said hurriedly, "Stop fighting, stop fighting!"

Unfortunately, Liu Xie's voice was instantly drowned out by the fight. Unable to stop it, Liu Xie got hot-headed and gritted his teeth and simply joined the melee.

In an instant the scene was in chaos, and the big man's beautiful and correct pronunciation uttered one sentence after another as if it was free.

"Guan Ping, why did you step on my face?"

"Guan Ping, why did you hit my arm?"

"Guan Ping, why did you hit my shoulder?"

"No! Where did so many Guan Ping come from?!"

"Don't hit my face!"

This commotion quickly attracted Lu Zhi's attention. Lu Zhi originally wanted Liu Xie to maintain good friendship with his classmates, but he never expected that such a thing would happen!
Lu Zhi's eyes widened, and even his beard trembled with anger. He waved his hand and called the imperial guards, shouting angrily: "Stop it!"

Thanks to the efforts of the imperial guards, a great war was finally put to an end.

A group of young men stood in a row in front of Lu Zhi with their heads lowered. If it weren't for their gray robes, they really didn't look like they had ever fought.

Lu Zhi asked with a stern face what had happened. It turned out that Fa Zheng had impulsively asked Ma Chao and Ma Dai to attack Cao Ang.

The reason for doing so was simple. Fa Zheng dreamed of an irreconcilable enemy named Cao Cao, which happened to match the name of the Grand Herald Cao Mengde, which caused Cao Ang to suffer.

However, what was strange was that Cao Ang did not have any wounds on his body, but Pang Hui was beaten black and blue.

After careful questioning, it turned out that Pang Hui took the opportunity to attack Guan Ping. As a result, the men who were fighting fiercely immediately turned their guns around and beat Pang Hui.

In this regard, Lu Zhi could only say that he fought well. Such a shameful behavior was simply a discredit to the Protector of the Qiang!
It seems that, let’s put Pang Hui aside.

These young people are genuinely affectionate?
Lu Zhi's frown relaxed a little. Liu Xie noticed this change and was delighted. He immediately said, "Master Lu, Uncle Shang Fa was just confused for a moment. I heard that a horse can run on the general's forehead. You are also a talented general. Don't worry about it."

"No, Li'er. A real man should take responsibility for his actions. This matter is my fault alone." Fa Zheng interrupted Liu Xie.

Pang Tong said quickly: "Taifu, I didn't hold Xiaozhi back. It's my fault."

Ma Dai and Ma Chao were completely desperate, "Taifu, it was us who did it, if you want to punish us, punish us!"

Even Liao Hua and others pleaded for Fa Zheng.

Zhuge Liang did not want to plead for Fa Zheng, because Fa Zheng had a strong desire for revenge. This Cao Mengde is not the same Cao Mengde as before, and it is absolutely impossible to vent your anger on Cao Ang, let alone on the current Cao Mengde.

but
Zhuge Liang was still furious when he thought of the Cao Cao he saw in his dream.

If he, who had the same dream, could not understand Fa Zheng, who else could understand Fa Zheng?

So after hesitating for a moment, Zhuge Liang finally opened his mouth to plead for Fa Zheng.

This surprised Lu Zhi a little. In his opinion, Zhuge Liang was the calmest one among them. He didn't expect Zhuge Liang to plead for Fa Zheng.

Lu Zhi confirmed his previous thoughts, and found that the feelings were indeed sincere.

but.
Sincere feelings do not mean that one can be exempted from punishment if one does something wrong. Otherwise, what is the role of the court judge?

Under the nervous gaze of the crowd, Lu Zhi slowly spit out the standards for punishment. Fa Zheng, as the instigator, would naturally be severely punished. Ma Chao and Ma Dai, who directly took action, would not escape the responsibility either. As for Pang Hui, his punishment would be the same as Fa Zheng's.

Liu Xie, who was confused about his position, was punished even more severely because he had sneaked out of the palace before!
Liu Xie and others naturally did not accept this outcome.

"Master Lu, can't you be flexible?" Even though his face turned pale, Liu Xie still pleaded.

"Accommodate" Lu Zhi felt angry and amused, "Aren't you guys being righteous? I will reduce the number of times Fa Zheng was beaten to the same number as Ma Chao and Ma Dai, and the remaining number will be taken by the rest of you. How about this?"

Liu Ba's face turned pale. This was none of his business!

He opened his mouth hurriedly, and as soon as he uttered the word "no", it was drowned out by the "very good" sounds of Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and others.

Only Pang Hui's face was as pale as paper. Oh no, why is no one pleading for me?

"We finally arrived in Chang'an."

Zheng Xuan forced a tired smile, he lifted the curtain of the carriage, and called his followers to help him get out of the car as usual.

But what I didn't expect was a hand full of calluses. When I looked up, I saw a bright smiling face.

"You are."

"I am Liu Bei, Liu Xuande. Lord Zheng, let me help you get off the carriage."

Zheng Xuan was shocked. "General Wei is the backbone of the Han Dynasty. How can I let General Wei support me? I will get off the car by myself. I will get off the car by myself."

Despite Liu Bei's constant persuasion, Zheng Xuan finally gave up his original insistence.

Upon seeing Zheng Xuan's arrival, all the officials who had been waiting for a long time welcomed him into Chang'an City with the most solemn etiquette.

Zheng Xuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart. I didn't see any arrogance in General Wei. His sincerity didn't seem fake at all. No wonder the immortal appeared in Gongyou's dream. Liu Xuande is indeed extraordinary.
But the next moment, something strange happened to Zheng Xuan. Someone ran to Liu Bei and said something. Then Liu Bei looked at him apologetically and said, "Mr. Zheng, something important happened suddenly."

Zheng Xuan laughed and said, "No problem, no problem, General Wei, go first, don't bother with me."

Later, accompanied by officials, Zheng Xuan was passing by the Taifu's mansion when he suddenly heard the inhumane sounds of pigs being killed.

He felt something strange when he looked at the official beside him.

The official's expression remained unchanged, as if he had not heard those voices.

Weird weird.
