Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 563 Xu Shu
When Zhuge Liang heard Zhang Sui mention "Langya", he looked a little dazed.

He grew up in Langya.

Langya has the purest and happiest memories of his youth.

At that time, my parents were still alive, my uncle was young, and my brother was still in school.

An unconscious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He remembered that his uncle tried to teach his elder brother to read but he just couldn't do it.

But he learned it in just one try.

His uncle compared him with his brother, and his brother's face turned red after being scolded by his uncle.

Unfortunately, everything has changed now.

My uncle is gone.

My brother got lost while fleeing and has not been heard from since.

His eyes fell on Zhang Sui, who looked very pleased with himself, and Zhuge Liang said, "Young General, if you can figure out where my brother is, I can trust you for once."

Huang Yueying looked at Zhang Sui with some concern.

Zhuge Liang was the second oldest son. He had another son, but they got separated on the way to Jingzhou.

Because of this incident, Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, mobilized various aristocratic families to search for him in Jingzhou.

But after a few years, there was no news.

Many people suspected that Zhuge Liang's brother was dead.

So many people couldn't find Zhuge Liang's brother, and Huang Yueying didn't believe that Zhang Sui could figure it out.

When Zhang Sui heard what Zhuge Liang said, his face instantly turned serious.

After a long time, he pointed to Zhuge Liang's left hand.

Zhuge Liang stretched out his left hand again and spread it out.

Zhang Sui pretended to touch it a few times and stared at it intently.

This time he laughed and said, "Do you keep your word?"

Huang Yueying looked at Zhang Sui nervously.

Chen Dao was also a little surprised.

Could it be that I, the lord, have really figured it out?

Does he really have such ability?
I've never heard anyone say this before!

Seeing that Zhang Sui was still able to laugh, Zhuge Liang hesitated for a moment and said, "Keep your word."

Zhang Sui then said, "There is a bump on your lifeline, pointing to the south."

“The bump eventually returned to the lifeline.”

"This means that this bulge comes from the same source as you."

"For some reason, he separated from you and went south."

"Finally, he returns, which means he's still alive, and you brothers are reunited."

"In that case, your brother should have crossed the Yangtze River and headed east of the Yangtze River."

"The most prosperous area in Jiangdong right now is Wujun, because Sun Ce, the Little Overlord of Jiangdong, built this area under his rule."

"If you really want to find someone, you can send someone to Wujun to look for him."

Huang Yueying: “.”

Chen Dao: “.”

Zhuge Liang: "."

They really didn't expect that Zhang Sui could actually calculate it!

Zhang Sui paused and continued, "However, going to Wujun now is very dangerous."

"In the previous battle at Jiangxia, Sun Ce was severely injured by me and his life or death is unknown. The defense must be extremely severe."

"Kong Ming, you are in Jingzhou now. If you send someone there, you might be treated as a spy and executed."

"If you believe me, I can go with me to Xuzhou Xiapi. Hebei Beijia Tian Fengtian is there. I have a very good relationship with him."

"Then I'll take you to find him and ask him to send someone to keep an eye on Jiangdong."

"Jiangdong and Xuzhou have always had business dealings."

"Perhaps we can also find out your brother's whereabouts through the caravan."

"And it just so happens that you can also go back to your hometown in Langya County." "Langya County has quelled the war, you don't have to worry about any accidents."

Huang Yueying heard what Zhang Sui said and said to Zhuge Liang: "Kong Ming, this proposal is really worth a try."

"The young general is the Lieutenant General of Hebei, and he has connections with Xuzhou."

The boy next to Zhuge Liang, who was about seven or eight years old, put down his bowl and chopsticks, gently pushed Zhuge Liang's arm, and pleaded in a low voice: "Second brother, I miss my father and mother!"

Zhuge Liang looked at the young man beside him, his third brother, and his expression softened a lot.

He had fled from Langya County with his uncle when his third brother was still a baby.

In the third brother’s memory, he didn’t even know what his parents looked like.

Thinking of this, Zhuge Liang said to the young man in a hoarse voice: "After the mourning period for your uncle is over, I will take you to pay homage to your parents."

The young man nodded vigorously.

Zhang Sui said, "That's fine too."

"When the time comes, Kong Ming, you go directly to Xia Pi."

"I have to go back to Hebei after three days."

"I will pass by Xia Pi and ask the deputy driver Tian Gong to send someone to Jiangdong to inquire about the news first."

"If you go to Langya's hometown, ask him directly for news."

Zhuge Liang hummed and said, "I will remember your kindness, General."

Zhang Sui waved his hand and said with a smile, "I won't talk about favors or anything like that."

"If possible, I hope to be able to work with you, Kong Ming."

"Then I'll give you a big surprise!"

Zhuge Liang was a little surprised.

surprise?

I've only met him twice, and he actually prepared a surprise for me!

However, Zhuge Liang was not a talkative person.

Since you said it was a surprise, it would definitely not be convenient to ask now.

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "It depends on the opportunity!"

After eating the soup noodles and warming themselves up, the group went to the market to buy some items and then parted ways at the market entrance.

Zhuge Liang and the young man watched Zhang Sui, Huang Yueying and Chen Dao leave, their brows raised slightly.

This little general is very interesting.

He is good at fighting and also proficient in fortune-telling!
Moreover, looking at the confident look on his face, he seemed very sure.

When it comes to divination and fortune-telling, even Mr. Shuijing can only give a vague answer.

Where did he get his confidence?
Thinking of what Zhang Sui said about Liu Bei and Liu Biao, Zhuge Liang hesitated for a moment and said to the young man, "Third brother, let's go to Mr. Shuijing first."

The boy responded obediently.

The two brothers wrapped their clothes tightly and walked towards a rather simple house in the heavy snow.

At the entrance of the mansion, there was a carriage parked.

On the nameplate at the rear of the carriage, there was a word "Xu" engraved.

Zhuge Liang's eyes lit up, and he walked quickly forward. He stretched his red, frozen hand out from his sleeve, gripped the door handle tightly, and knocked hard a few times.

After a while, the door was opened, and a tall man with a long beard said with a smile: "Oh, Mr. Shuijing's house is full of guests today! Come in quickly, we are all ready to drink."

"It's a good thing you came, otherwise, we might not see each other for a long time."

As he spoke, the man gently flicked away the snowflakes on Zhuge Liang's body, and smiled as he invited Zhuge Liang and the young man into the house.

As Zhuge Liang entered, he asked, "Yuanzhi, are you going on a long journey?"

The man's name was Xu Shu, with the courtesy name Yuanzhi. He was one of the few people in the academy who did not mock Zhuge Liang for comparing himself to Guan Zhong and Yue Yi.

Although the two are ten years apart in age, they have always been each other's confidants.

Xu Shu hummed and said, "After three days, I will leave."

"I didn't plan to tell you originally, for fear of the sadness of separation."

"I didn't expect you to come to my door."

Zhuge Liang asked curiously, "Where are you going?"
