I write novels in Liyue

Seeing Ningguang flipping through Fang Qiu's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Bai Shi hesitated for a moment and asked in surprise.

Lady Ningguang generally doesn't stay up late, as it makes her mind unclear. Therefore, as a businesswoman, she usually avoids staying up late.

Not to mention not sleeping all night.

Insufficient sleep is a disaster for business people. In business negotiations, a moment's hesitation can lead to complete failure.

"Ah."

Ningguang nodded and said, "Go prepare hot water and breakfast. I'll take a bath and rest for a bit later."

"Yes, Lady Ningguang."

Bai Shi nodded, then turned and left.

Ningguang, on the other hand, continued reading her book.

It wasn't that she was addicted to entertainment, but rather that the book did indeed contain methods for learning.

Today, Liyue is ruled by men.

Human abilities have their limits; one cannot, like an emperor, plan and manage all matters.

Even if all seven stars of Liyue were combined, they would still be far inferior to the Emperor.

Therefore, it is necessary to keep learning.

She glanced at the book in her hand. In the book, after the defeat at the Battle of Red Cliffs, Cao Cao escaped from Huarong Road thanks to Guan Yu's righteous release.

To the average person, this scene would certainly be interpreted as a miscalculation by Zhuge Liang.

Actually it is not.

At this time, Liu Bei was in a weak position and relied on Sun Quan.

If Cao Cao were to die, the Sun family would become the sole power in the land.

Without Cao Cao's interference, Sun Quan could have easily destroyed Liu Bei.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang needed Cao Cao to live.

But this matter could not be known to others, after all, Cao Cao was a usurper of the Han dynasty and a traitor.

Letting Cao Cao leave would put Liu Bei in a difficult position and give him a reason to be criticized by the people.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang specifically sent Guan Yu, who had received favors from Cao Cao, to guard the crucial Huarong Road.

They were certain that Guan Yu would not kill Cao Cao.

Such a strategist is truly priceless.

She clipped the bookmark to the book and turned back to the earlier chapter, which featured the story of Liu Bei's three visits to Zhuge Liang's thatched cottage to persuade him to join his cause.

book.

On his first visit, Liu Bei went to see Zhuge Liang, but Zhuge Liang was not home.

On their second visit, Liu Bei and his two brothers braved the wind and snow to go, but Zhuge Liang was not there. Liu Bei had no choice but to leave a letter.

On the third visit, Liu Bei overruled Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's rash opinions and insisted on going in person, which finally allowed him to meet them.

Seeing that Zhuge Liang was taking a nap, Liu Bei, showing respect for talent, stood at the door and waited until Zhuge Liang woke up before entering the room to talk to him.

And as it turns out, Zhuge Liang did indeed possess extraordinary talent.

With a feather fan and silk turban, he casually established the future tripartite division of the world and was put to use by Liu Bei.

Not only is it necessary to treat people with respect and courtesy, but it is also important to recognize and make good use of their talents.

Just as Ningguang was pondering, Baishi returned.

"Lady Ningguang, you may take a bath now."

All knowledge was respectful.

"Ah."

Ningguang nodded and followed Baishi into the bathroom.

Bai Shi waited outside the screen, while Ning Guang went behind the screen and began to quietly take off her clothes.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of water was heard.

Ningguang lay half-reclined in the bathtub, the warm water causing her to let out a soft moan involuntarily.

She looked at the bathtub covered with flower petals, a thoughtful look flashing in her slightly tired eyes.

Three visits to the thatched cottage...

If we could persuade Mr. Zhongli of the Rebirth Hall to come after three visits to his thatched cottage, that would be quite good.

However, Mr. Zhongli is no ordinary person, so we need to think this through carefully.

Besides Zhong Li, there's also Fang Qiu.

Before reading "Romance of the Three Kingdoms," she acknowledged Fang Qiu's talent and considered him a promising business talent who would become one of the core members of her entertainment empire.

Occasionally, ingenious ideas would emerge, proposing a stable tunnel structure capable of accommodating the safe passage of large caravans.

However, after reading this book, she realized that Fang Qiu's value was far greater than that.

"I thought I had thought highly of that girl, but I never expected her to far exceed my expectations."

Ningguang reached out and brushed the petals from the bathtub, a thoughtful look flashing in her slightly tired red eyes.

She had to find a way to get Zhongli and Fang Qiu together.

P.S.: I recommend a book on Python: *Cyberpunk People, But Top-Tier Cyberpsychosis*.

Chapter 410 Heroes Compete for Supremacy (3,000 words)

Only by bringing these two brilliant strategists under our command can we succeed.

(Continuing from the previous post, why does Hedgehog Cat keep having this bug? I've missed a sentence in the last paragraph twice in a row. Since revising my previous chapter would make it disappear for review again, I can only put it here. All of the above are free.)

……

Yujing Terrace, Yuehai Pavilion.

The artificially planted glass lilies on the roadside flowerbeds, glistening with raindrops, are swaying in the wind and rain.

Ke Qing was holding a purple oil-paper umbrella, waiting outside the Moon Sea Pavilion while reading a book.

The book in his hand was Fang Qiu's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

The story in the book takes place after the Battle of Red Cliffs, when Liu Bei annexed Jingzhou and launched a westward attack on Xichuan.

After Liu Bei visited Zhuge Liang three times, Zhuge Liang came out of seclusion and set fire to Bowangpo. He then debated with the Confucian scholars and persuaded the Sun-Liu alliance to resist Cao Cao in the north. He devised a plan to take Jingzhou, which gave Liu Bei the military strength to march west into Sichuan.

He was truly a man of extraordinary talent, deserving of the title "Sleeping Dragon".

"Three visits to the thatched cottage..."

Ke Qing gazed at the raindrops falling gently into the puddles, lost in thought.

She wants to recruit two people.

One of them was Zhongli, the guest elder of the Hall of Rebirth.

That gentleman was indeed learned and admirable, but unfortunately, his way of thinking was too much like that of an emperor.

While there's nothing wrong with being like an emperor, it's because he lacks his own opinions too much.

If he can find a way to change this, she wouldn't mind if he visited the Hall of Rebirth 3 times, or even 30 times.

"And then there's Fang Qiu..."

Ke Qing pondered for a moment, then murmured it aloud.

"What's wrong with Miss Fang Qiu?"

A soft, gentle voice rang out. Ke Qing turned around and saw Gan Yu waiting behind her with a blue oil-paper umbrella.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, the last document took a little time."

Gan Yu said.

"It's not the time we agreed on yet."

Ke Qing smiled and said, "Let's go. There shouldn't be many people queuing to buy Qiu's card game right now, so we should be able to buy it easily."

As he spoke, he opened his umbrella and stepped into the rain.

"Ah."

Gan Yu nodded, opened her blue oil-paper umbrella, and followed behind Ke Qing.

After buying books yesterday, she and Ke Qing agreed to go buy cards issued by Buy Qiu early this morning.

Keqing works very hard and maintains a high level of work intensity.

They basically start working before dawn and don't finish get off work to rest until dark.

There is very little time to rest.

However, "rare" does not mean "absent".

Not long after the Emperor's soul returned to the heavens and the Seven Stars of Liyue came to power, Keqing would frequently visit him, humbly seeking his advice and opinions.

During her breaks, Keqing would also invite her to go shopping for clothes to relax.

Since they developed the same hobby, they have been communicating much more frequently.

She often took time to go with Ke Qing to buy Qiu's works and discuss the plot together.

"By the way, Ke Qing, what did you say happened to Miss Fang Qiu?"

Gan Yu asked.

"Fang Qiu's Romance of the Three Kingdoms has inspired me in many ways, but the biggest inspiration is to know people and make good use of them."
