Chapter 597 Countless

Without the slightest fear, Zhuge Liang walked around Shiyan's body, shaking his feather fan lightly, his voice was low but sonorous and powerful: "Shizhen, I, Kong Ming, are here, and you can take this life if you have one."

"If you dare to touch my hair today, tomorrow I will teach you a full family of scholars, and I will be buried with Zhuge Kongming. I advise you, you'd better think carefully, otherwise you will lose everything if you make a wrong move!"

The scholar gritted his teeth: "Hmph! It's just a weak scholar who dares to threaten me in Jiaozhou. It's really stupid. Today I will use your head in exchange for the Antai of Jiaozhou."

"Second Brother, if you want to take Mr.'s head, you have to step over the dead brother's body!"

"Brother, don't stop me! Come on, kill the traitor for me!"

Cang Lang Lang!

The cold light flickered, and the soldiers pointed directly at Zhuge Liang.

Suddenly, someone broke in from the outside and let out a roar of thunder:

"Kong Ming is a genius in this world, and it is not a courtesy for you to talk to each other with your tongue."

Shi A leaned against Zhuge Liang and gave him a wink.

Zhuge Liang searched for his reputation, but he saw a man in front of him, taller than ten feet, with a broad chest, thick back, and a waist around ten years old, with a green face, yellow hair and blue eyes, red eyebrows and wide mouth, golden rings on his ears, and a crown that soared to the sky on the top of his head!

My God, this person is definitely not from the Central Plains, but a foreigner!

Zhuge Liang recognized the identity of this person at a glance. After all, Jiaozhou has a vast territory, and it is normal for there to be some foreigners in the southernmost tip.

Shi A was so frightened that his forehead sweated.

Just from the opponent's size, he knew that he was a titan. If there was a real fight, he might not care about Zhuge Liang at all.

He hastily lowered his voice and said: "Military Master, if there is a fight, I will entangle this person, you leave quickly, as long as you leave the State Shepherd's Mansion, our people will come to meet you!"

Zhuge Liang sneered, and responded softly: "Shi A, don't worry, nothing serious will happen!"

Shi Qian opened his mouth to remind: "Mr. Kong Ming, this man is my father's personal guard. He is called Kui Mu, and he has undeserved courage!"

Zhuge Liang just hummed, the wind was still calm, and the feather fan shook lightly.

He sensed kindness from the fierce general's eyes.

Kui Mu cupped his fists and said loudly: "Mr. Zhuge, my lord is here to invite you."

Zhuge Liang hummed lightly, and walked away generously: "The general, please lead the way!"

Kui Mu walked in front, staring brightly, showing a fierce look: "Get out!"

Not for a while.

Zhuge Liang followed Kui Mu to an octagonal pavilion in the inner house of the mansion.

Sitting alone in Jinzhong, his beard and hair are all white, but his spirit is hale and hearty.

He seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and he had already prepared tables, even tea and fruit.

Zhuge Liang came to Jinzhong and bowed to Shi Xie: "Zhuge Liang has seen Shijiaozhou."

Shi Xie pinched his beard, smiled calmly, waved his hands and said, "You really are a young hero, come here, and sit aside for a while."

Zhuge Liang was sitting by the side, tea was already prepared on the table in front of him.

This is not Shi Xie's hospitality.

But before Zhuge Liang, a guest had already met with Shi Xie.

If nothing else, it should be Jiangdong's envoy Bu Zhi!

Shi Xie has occupied Jiaozhou for many years, so it is impossible that he does not have the courtesy to receive guests.

The reason why he did this, Zhuge Liang guessed, was to let him know on purpose that Bu Zhi had been here before.

why?

Zhuge Liang laughed secretly.

It's just for sale, to get a good price.

Everything is under his control!

Shi Xie raised his glass to invite, Zhuge Liang took a small sip as a signal.

"Mr. Kong Ming, let's get straight to the point." Shi Xie said indifferently.

"Shijiaozhou can do this, of course it's the best." Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly.

Shi Xie took a deep breath, and said slowly: "To tell you the truth, Jiaozhou has a vast territory. Under Shi's governance, the population now has tens of millions, with more than half a million people under armor, and countless money and food."

Zhuge Liang said softly: "With a population of tens of millions, Jiaozhou is indeed very good. The population of my lord's Taishan county is only seven or eight million!"

Shi Xie's face sank immediately.

Jiaozhou has a vast territory. Although it is relatively small on the map, in fact, it is as large as Jingzhou.

Compared with Taishan County, it is really sparsely populated!

However, Taishan County is much smaller than Jiaozhou in terms of area, but the difference in population is very small.

This made Shi Bian feel like being slapped in the face!

Zhuge Liang had a calm demeanor, shaking his feather fan lightly, and he didn't feel any discomfort at all because he said something wrong.

Because he did it on purpose, dare to pretend to be aggressive in front of us, it's really a shame!

Shi Xie smiled wryly, and continued: "I think when I first arrived in Jiaozhou, I could really use the word barren to describe it, but now? Jiaozhou is governed, the people are rich, and the hearts of the people are united!"

"Although a scholar has worked hard for most of his life, he doesn't dare to claim credit for himself. He just wants to live in a corner, do his best, and be worthy of the people of this state!"

Zhuge Liang knew it at a glance.

Shi Xie was telling him that Jiaozhou was his, and the people's hearts belonged to him, and it would not be so easy for you to take it away.

Zhuge Liang said softly: "Compared to Jingzhou, the wealth of Jiaozhou is not worth mentioning. At this time, under the governance of my lord, Xiangyang is richer than before, and the people are more happy."

Obviously Zhuge Liang is not easy to mess with.

The meaning is very clear. If we can win Jingzhou, which is supported by the people, we can win Jiaozhou, which is supported by the people.

They are all thousand-year-old demons, so Shi Xie naturally understood the meaning of Zhuge Liang's words.

The other party was so aggressive, which made him a little displeased.

But Shi Fan is a sensible person.

Don't think that Liu Yao gave him a high price, but it's money for hard work.

He Shi Xie doesn't bother to make money if he wants to make money, but spend money if he doesn't.

Originally, he thought that, based on this, he would at least get a good job if he wanted to blackmail Night Breeze.

But who ever thought.

From the other party's tone, Shi Fan didn't feel any kindness at all.

It's a kind of naked, even blatantly strong pressure.

Zhuge Liang said softly: "Shijiaozhou, we are all sensible people, and Liang will not play around with you. It's not that my lord can't win Jiaozhou, but because he doesn't want to waste too much time and energy here."

Shi Xie didn't take it seriously, so he just sat upright and said: At first, Liu Biao, the emperor of Chu and Han, had the same idea. He attacked our Jiaozhou no less than a hundred times, but he returned without success every time. "

The corners of Zhuge Liang's lips curled up with a hint of gloom: "My lord is by no means a mediocre person like the Emperor Chu and Han. If I compare him to my lord, I'm afraid Shijiaozhou will have to pay the price for it!"

Shi Xie sipped his tea and continued, "You also said just now that we are all sensible people. Although Ye Feng has a strong army, it will be even more difficult to completely occupy Jiaozhou."

The meaning is very clear, no matter how powerful you are, you can't completely destroy me!

Zhuge Liang did not hide it: "Unfortunately, my lord likes to overcome difficulties, whether it is Yuan Shao in Hebei, or Lu Bu in Liangzhou, with my lord, there is no backhand at all!"
