Although he can't act as freely and light as normal, Zhuge Liang can basically handle his life with a three-wheeled Hu Lai Bus, so he has no life barriers when the woman is away, but...

For some reason, Zhuge Liang always felt empty in his heart.

One day, Zhuge Liang was so bored that he got into Hu Lai Cart, pushed open the fence door and left the thatched house for the first time. When he came out, he finally let the bright sunlight be shining all over his body.

Zhuge Liang, who had been out of the house for a long time, couldn't help but use his hands to cover it because his eyes were unable to adapt to the dazzling sunlight for a while.

The courtyard where he was in was planted with various rare grasses, some of which he had even read from classical books, and had never seen with his own eyes. In addition, there was a dummy in the shape of a wood next to the stone millstone, pushing the millstone without any external help. The courtyard surrounded by fences is located in the sea of ​​trees with mountains, where birds sing and flowers are like a paradise.

Just as he was immersed in this relaxing atmosphere, the door of the fence yard automatically opened.

Zhuge Liang, sitting in the Hu Lai car, saw a young man of similar age walking in. Zhuge Liang looked at his clothes and found that he looked like a scholar with a very identity.

Both of them were very surprised when they saw each other. The man looked at Zhuge Liang for a brief moment and walked up to bow and bow:

"In Xia Pang Tong, is Miss Yueying at home?"

Yueying and Zhuge Liang thought to himself if this was the name of the masked woman, but he didn't have time to think about this question:

"I was seriously injured and fortunate to be treated by my master. I am temporarily staying here to recuperate. I don't know if she is Miss Yueying you call me, but she is not at home."

Pang Tong nodded. After carefully looking at him, he found that Zhuge Liang in front of him seemed to have an indescribable atmosphere. At this time, he noticed that there was a stone chessboard not far from Zhuge Liang, so he walked up to sit next to the stone platform and said to Zhuge Liang with a smile:

"I have something to ask Miss Yueying for some things. Since she is not here, I will wait here. I wonder if the sir can play chess?"

While Pang Tong was looking at him, Zhuge Liang was also observing the person in front of him. After looking at the clearly depicted chessboard on the stone platform, he turned the Hu bed cart to the opposite side of Pang Tong: "I dare not say that I know, I just understand it a little."

Zhuge Liang took the white first, and the two fought back and forth on the chessboard. As each child landed, they all understood each other more, so they were very cautious.

In Zhuge Liang's opinion, except for Pang Degong and Sima Yi, he had never encountered such a powerful opponent in his life. He had seen through the dangers he had set up tentatively many times and threatened the areas controlled by Bai Zi several times.

Before we knew it, the sky gradually darkened, but both sides were not affected by time and environment at all. They stared firmly at the chess game on the stone plate. Even the masked woman walked into the fence gate without notice...

The masked woman was dissatisfied and surprised when she saw Pang Tong, but she immediately returned to her calmness and stood in front of the chessboard without making any sounds. However, even so, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong still did not notice the slightest because of their excessive concentration. Until the masked woman saw through Pang Tong's flaws in the chess game, stretched out her right hand wrapped in white cloth, took out a white piece from the few chess cups left on Zhuge Liang's left hand, and gently placed it in a crucial place.

This time, Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang were shocked by Huang Yueying who "suddenly appeared". Pang Tong was frightened and found that he had no way out and had already failed without any reversal.

"What are you doing here?"

Although it was not stated clearly, Zhuge Liang heard the unwelcome from the woman's cold tone.

To the mysterious woman in front of her, Pang Tong, who was called "Feng Chu" by Sima Hui, seemed to respect her very much, and stood up respectfully and saluted her:

"Miss Yueying, it was Mrs. Cai who asked me to come and find you. I hope you can go back to Xiangyang with me."

Facing Pang Tong's polite attitude, the masked woman did not appreciate it at all:

"Mr. Shiyuan, please come back. I won't go to Xiangyang. I hope my mother will not come to me again."

As a bystander, Zhuge Liang found that it seemed embarrassing to continue staying here, so he turned the mechanism of Hu Lai car and took two steps back to leave quietly, but was stopped by Yueying:

"Didn't I tell you that you'd better not leave the house to blow dry and burn strong light during this period?"

Zhuge Liang, who had never been taught a lesson in his life, was taught a lesson by Yueying in a tone that was almost almost scolded.

Only then did Pang Tong remember to ask Zhuge Liang about his identity:

"It is rare for a gentleman to be very skilled in chess. I don't know what to call him?"

After thinking of the tragedy on Pingding Mountain, Zhuge Liang did not want to reveal his identity easily, so he smiled and replied:

"I'm just an unknown rural villager. I'm afraid Mr. Shi Yuan doesn't know if he says it."

Since Zhuge Liang was unwilling to be named, Pang Tong was not easy to ask. In addition, Yue's cold attitude towards him at this time made him feel that it seemed inappropriate to stay here, so he said goodbye to the two and left.

After returning to Xiangyang, Pang Tong told Mrs. Cai and his wife about the whole story he had encountered. Sima Hui also happened to be a guest at Mrs. Cai's house. After hearing about it, Sima Hui said:

"Miss Yueying is known as the "Xuanhu". Her talent and knowledge are very good, and the same is true for her personality."

Huang Chengyan, who was sitting on the table, waved his hand and said helplessly:

"Brother Decao laughed. Mr. Yuan Fang had previously divined a divination for his little girl, saying that she was the fate of "Xuanhu". The husband whom he was destined to marry in his life was either a dragon or a phoenix. The name of Shiyuan Dao was "Feng Chu". I thought they were a match made by heaven, but I didn't expect that after hearing that his wife intended to marry him to Shiyuan, he disappeared without a trace. I was really spoiled by me."

Pang Tong didn't care too much about this. He bowed to Huang Chengyan and Mrs. Cai and said:

"Mr. Chengyan should not blame himself for this. Although I have met Ling Ai several times and admired her extraordinary talent and character, there is no so-called affair between me and her. After visiting Longzhong under the order of Mrs. Cai, I became more convinced that Miss Yueying had no feelings for me. Since that's the case, you might as well stop here."

But Mrs. Cai seemed to be very worried about Yueying's marriage: "Shi Yuan, you know that Yueying's child is born with a different physique than ordinary people. She has been weak since childhood and is often tortured by illness, not to mention her appearance..."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Cai couldn't help but cry and said, "Although my brother-in-law has helped Yueying meet with some Jingzhou gentry, Yueying's child has a very high vision and she will not take it seriously by ordinary people. Now looking at the entire Jingzhou, besides a talented man with good character like Shi Yuan, I really couldn't imagine anyone who could be as good as her eyes."

Speaking of this, Pang Tong thought of the man who had played against him in the courtyard before:

"I don't think it's possible. My former uncle Pang Degong Zeng Yan lost to a young man on Pingding Mountain. Judging from his description, he looks a bit similar to the person I met. Could it be..."

Pang Tong's words attracted the attention of Huang Chengyan and Sima Hui. After looking at each other, they seemed to have realized something. Then Sima Hui raised his head and smiled: "It's impossible for Xu Feng, but I think it's good to have a dragon..."

During the period of cultivation in Longzhong, Zhuge Liang's right foot was cured quickly under Huang Yueying's careful treatment and care. In less than two months, he could take a few steps in the house with a cane.

Not only that, as they got to know each other, the distance between Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying became closer and closer without both sides noticed it. Huang Yueying held Zhuge Liang regardless of the difference between men and women and practiced walking like an ordinary person. Because Zhuge Liang's unstable steps were unstable, he almost fell down. When Huang Yueying helped him, the white gauze covering her face was blown by the wind...

At this moment, Zhuge Liang discovered that Huang Yueying's cheeks and neck were ink black. Not only that, the hair on her face was vaguely visible, which shocked him for a moment.

However, in order not to let her realize that she had discovered her true face, Zhuge Liang deliberately hid his emotions and pretended not to see them. At night, he often remembered the scene he saw during the day. In addition, this unique habit of Miss Yueying never showing her true face, he understood in his heart what all this was.

On this day, they were playing games on the chessboard, and never thought that Huang Chengyan and Sima Yi walked in outside the fence gate.

"Even if you have been hiding here for so long and haven't returned to Xiangyang to see you as your father, you should always look at your mother..."

Huang Yueying had long known that Pang Tong would tell her whereabouts after she returned, so she was not surprised that Huang Chengyan was able to find this place. She stood up and bowed to Huang Chengyan and apologized:

"Please forgive my daughter for being unfilial. It's just that my daughter cannot withstand the troubles of many princes in Xiangyang City, so she lived in seclusion in Longzhong."

At this time, Huang Yueying and Zhuge Liang noticed that there was Sima Hui beside Huang Chengyan at the same time, so Zhuge Liang wanted to get up and salute him, but his legs and feet were difficult to stand up independently. Sima Hui learned from Pang Tong that Zhuge Liang's legs and feet were inconvenient, so he reached out to stop him who was saluting:

"Kongming, if you have any injuries to your legs and feet, you don't need to be polite. I am a family friend of you, Huang Shiwang. I heard that you were having an accident at your home and was recuperating at Yueying's residence, so I came to visit you specially."

When Huang Yueying heard Sima Hui call Zhuge Liang Kong Ming, she was not only a little shocked, because she had heard Kong Ming several times before during the conversation between Pang Degong and his father, and at the same time she also heard their name to him:

Wolong...

Although it was the first time we met, Huang Chengyan could see at a glance that Zhuge Liang was definitely not a person in the pool, and his talent was not inferior to Pang Tong. He would definitely be an important figure who could change the situation in troubled times in the future.

Thinking of Zuo Ci's prophecy of "either a dragon or a phoenix", Huang Chengyan said bluntly in front of Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying:

"I have heard about you from Yuanfang many times before. I wonder if I have married?"

Zhuge Liang didn't know what Huang Chengyan meant, but he answered according to the truth:

"not yet..."

When Huang Yueying, who was standing next to Huang Chengyan, suddenly felt her heart beat faster like a deer bumping around. Her hands on her chest were unnaturally tugging with her fingers. Although she could not see anything on the surface, Huang Chengyan, who knew her very well, could see her daughter's concern at a glance. After looking at Sima Hui and smiling, Huang Chengyan asked Zhuge Liang again:

"At your age, it's time to get married. I'm going to say that my daughter is born with yellow hair and black skin, which is different from ordinary people, but her only knowledge is enough to compare with you. I want to betroth her to you today. I wonder if you have any intention?"

Zhuge Liang, who had never thought about the major events of marriage, was stunned for the first time in his life, even if he was smart and clever, facing Huang Chengyan's sudden and unstoppable behavior, he had no reaction time.

Not only Zhuge Liang was stunned, but Huang Yueying also felt her cheeks get hot. In addition, Zhuge Liang's dull reaction made her attitude look very conspicuous. She was ashamed and left the three of them quickly.

It took Zhuge Liang a long time to come back to his senses, and Huang Chengyan smiled and said:
Chapter completed!
