Chapter 149 Brothers talking
"Brother, long time no see!"
In the side hall of Xiling County Governor's Mansion, Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jin looked at each other for a long time, and finally it was Zhuge Liang, the younger brother, who spoke first.
"How have you been doing these past few years?"
"Brother, don't worry. When my uncle heard that his father had died of illness, he immediately rushed back to his home to take charge. Later, he caught up with Cao Cao and massacred Xuzhou.
My uncle was worried that a few young boys like me would not be able to stop the Cao thieves, so he took us away from the family and simply went south.
At that time, my uncle happened to be under the command of the late Liu Jingzhou. He was originally the deputy envoy responsible for paying tribute to His Majesty. Although he was dragged away from Chang'an, he still deserved some credit.
Let me wait until I am able to establish myself in Jingzhou..."
After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, he looked at his brother in front of him helplessly.
"It's just a pity. At first, we thought about waiting for my brother, but in the eyes of Cao Cao, the thief slaughtered the city, and our eyes were completely red when we saw them.
Even the Wang family is scared, so we naturally don’t dare to hesitate anymore. Besides... I feel that my brother should be fine when he was traveling abroad..."
Kong Ming's tone was really helpless. An accident that year made him mature quickly, but it also made him see too many human relationships. There are many things that he doesn't want to think about even now.
Seeing the lonely look on his brother's face, Zhuge Jin couldn't help but sigh, reached out and held Zhuge Liang's arm and whispered.
"What happened back then... I am much older than you all. I left home early and traveled to Luoyang and other places, hoping to find famous teachers so that my Zhuge sect could regain its glory.
But I never thought that this time, I would not be able to serve my mother before she died, and I would not be able to see my father on his last journey.
When my brother heard about his father, he immediately left for Xuzhou, but it was too late after all.
After arriving in Xuzhou, the Cao thief had already started the second massacre. At that time, in order to avoid disaster, he had no choice but to escape first.
When brother Wei got the news again, his uncle had already gone to Yuzhang..."
"Brother, there's no need to say anything. Liang understands." Kong Ming didn't blame Zhuge Jin at all, and he didn't say anything. As an elder brother, he didn't want to show up when his brother needed him most.
p>
He and Zhuge Jin just held each other's arms and sighed sincerely.
"Now that I see you, second brother... you are in such good health, I feel relieved as a brother.
However, I heard that you have to do everything personally under the command of Xuande Gong, and you are constantly running around and working hard. You can't do this. You should pay attention to yourself.
Otherwise, no matter how good your health is, there will be a day when you can't stand it..."
"Brother!" Zhuge Liang looked at his eldest brother and couldn't help but interrupt his words. There were some words that he had really been hiding in his heart for a long time.
"Actually, I have been thinking about it all these years. When we were in the Langya family, we were well-educated and sensible. If nothing happened, this life might have passed like this.
Maybe after my brother finds a good mentor and friend, and returns to his hometown, you and I, the three brothers, will support each other in the future, and then really strengthen the Zhuge family."
"Kong Ming, don't say anything anymore...Don't say anything anymore..." Zhuge Jin suddenly threw away Zhuge Liang's arm, his face became quite painful, and he began to interrupt his younger brother's words repeatedly.
The past has passed. What was a great home back then has now become like this.
It's just that his parents didn't care. The two sisters also married other people for the younger brother of the family. He didn't even drink a glass of wedding wine.
The family is gone, the family has been separated since then, and a good family has just fallen apart.
But Zhuge Jin didn't want to recall the past, but Zhuge Liang still asked the question in his heart.
"Brother, how do you think we got to this point?"
"...."
"Everyone in the world says that Cao Mengde is the most heroic man in the world. He will definitely be the one who will bring peace to the world in the future.
Liang also admitted this. He, Cao Mengde, is indeed a hero of the world. If there is anyone in the world who can truly dominate the world, perhaps it is only Cao Mengde.
Even Liang can admit that if he, Cao Mengde, really pacified the world, it might not necessarily be a bad thing for the people of the world.
But Liang can't look at him like this..."
"Kong Ming, you are too obsessed." Zhuge Jin looked at his second brother Zhuge Liang in front of him and couldn't help but sigh, "If you stay like this for a long time, I'm afraid you won't end up well."
"Brother Liang understands what he means, but what Liang understands even more is that the people in this world cannot be like this!
It is no longer important how the disaster in Xuzhou happened, but Liang will remember the original scene for the rest of his life.
My brother has also seen people fleeing for safety, and also seen people competing to devour a mouthful of food...
The tragedy of the human world is not enough to describe the tragedy of Xuzhou. Xuzhou, which was prosperous at that time, also became miserable because of their appearance.
Although Duke Xuande was in charge of Xuzhou for a short time, it gave the people a breath of relief. However, these people eventually died on Cao Mengde's journey to Guanzhong.
Duke Xuande came to Jingzhou again, in Xinye, Nanyang, Jingnan, and even Jiaozhou.
Brother, as long as the people have enough to eat, they will not put down their hoes and raise their weapons, let alone go against the government.
But it is such a simple thing, but they often fail to do it.
Xuande Gongwen Tao's martial arts skills, family background and talents are not as good as Cao Mengde's, but Xuande Gong is able to give those people a bite of food and make their lives a little better.
So Liang chose the most difficult path.
Even if Liang will sacrifice his whole life on this road, it doesn't matter even if he ends up with a dismal end and a place of death without a burial.
Liang, I never want to see the Xuzhou incident happen before my eyes for the second time in my life.
The people in this world are already suffering enough!"
Looking at Zhuge Liang with a solemn expression, Zhuge Jin, as the eldest brother, also gave a helpless smile, and in the end everything he wanted to say turned into a long sigh.
"Kong Ming, you...you are really better than my brother!"
"Brother, this is..."
"It's really better than being a brother!" Zhuge Jin directly interrupted his younger brother, "Back then, my brother was just like you, wanting to travel around the world to find a good medicine to cure the world.
But what I saw was a tragic scene. What I saw was that under these tragic images, the people were desperate and gave up their bottom line and virtue.
Brother Wei even felt that they were hopeless...so Brother Wei gave up!
Brother Wei no longer wants to continue searching. When Brother Wei went to Jiangdong and when I saw General Sun, Brother Wei suddenly realized that maybe it would be good to be alone and do what he can.
As for the rest,...it’s okay not to do it.”
"Kong Ming, you have this intention, and I wish you the best, but I still want to tell you that this road is not easy to walk!"
"Liang knows."
"You know... but you still want to go on?"
