Chapter 5 Fish in Water

Seeing is what I want; not seeing is also what I want; you cannot have both, you must see without seeing...

Sima Hui thought about it for a long time (that is, just as long as it took to make tea)... and finally decided to meet him. After all, his reputation was here, and he had never refused a guest...

Furthermore, Sima Hui's own reasons can only be regarded as one of them, and the more critical reason is naturally for the sake of his stubborn disciple.

Although Sima Hui looked down on Liu Bei a little, he was the future lord chosen by the man who gave him the title Wolong after all. Even if Liu Bei didn't fall in his eyes, there would naturally be something bright about him. Otherwise, how could he possibly attract Wolong?

Attention.

What's more, it was not just Wolong who was trapped in Liu Bei's trap, but also his talented but late disciple Xu Shu and Xu Yuanzhi.

Fortunately, Wolong lived up to his title and didn't take the initiative. He just stayed at home and waited for others to come to him to ask for a visit.

But Xu Shu was very proactive and took the initiative to serve as Liu Bei's counselor. He also planned to defeat Cao Cao's first general, Cao Ren, and his performance was very impressive.

But it was precisely because he was too shining that Cao Cao became interested in him, and captured Xu Shu's old mother and forced him to go north, otherwise it would be against his filial piety.

The result was naturally obvious. Liu Bei sent Xu Shu to go north. One of Sima Hui's disciples ran away to the north in vain and it was probably difficult to come back. Moreover, before leaving, he strongly recommended Wolong Zhuge Liang.

Counting each step like this, Sima Hui even doubted whether the boy from Longzhong was secretly planning this thing. This routine was so familiar that Sima Hui understood it at a glance...

Therefore, whether he sees Liu Bei or not has no inevitable relationship today. The final impact is only on him.

Even if he didn't see it, how could he really live in seclusion in Nanyang Longzhong with Kong Ming's intelligence all his life? Sooner or later Liu Bei would be attracted there like a bee.

Sima Hui, on the other hand, lost a bad reputation because of his lack of sight. You must know that the reputation of the emperor's uncle Liu Bei for his kindness has spread throughout the eight counties of Jingxiang. The people may not care about Sima Hui, but they definitely know Liu Bei and Liu Xuande...



With such a great reputation and such an exaggerated scope, it's not that Sima Hui thought too much about it, or that he looked down on Liu Bei. It's just that such a big deal was not something that a down-and-out prince could do.

If Liu Bei had such a mind, or if he had such masters under his command who could predict the present moment, why would he be left in such a state of despair?

After thinking about it, it seems that my disciple is the only one left in Jingzhou who spares no effort and is very optimistic about Liu Bei...

Sima Hui lowered his head and smiled bitterly, shaking his head slightly helplessly. Liu Bei, who was sitting opposite him, couldn't understand. He didn't know why Mr. Shui Jing, a famous Jingzhou scholar in front of him, shook his head and sighed. Could there be something unspeakable?

Liu Bei's heart suddenly jumped. He had already explained the purpose of his visit. Seeing Sima Hui in such a state, could it be that there are no talents in Jingzhou, and that Wolong is just a false name?

Or is it that Sima Hui doesn't think highly of him at all and doesn't intend to tell the truth?

Liu Bei was not sure what Sima Hui's attitude was for a moment. Although these years of experience had made Liu Bei more determined, it had also weakened his self-confidence invisibly.

Especially in front of such a famous person, Liu Bei always feels like he is bowing his head. This is simply because he has no soldiers in his hands, no ground at his feet, and no basis...

"Sir, you are like this...could it be that there is something unspeakable about what Bei asked you to hide?"

Although he knew that he didn't have much money, Liu Bei's face had long been trained to be very different from ordinary people.

If you say it without knowing it, I'll just assume that you don't mean it in this way. Just break the casserole and ask the question, and that's it. Why do you care about anything else?

"Otherwise, don't think too much, General Zuo. It's not that I have nothing to say, I just feel that General Zuo's question is a little biased..."

Seeing Liu Bei like this, Sima Hui quickly shook his head and denied it. At this time, he had to pretend to be serious and make his words clear enough to prevent Liu Bei from thinking too much.

But since Liu Bei came to Wolong, Sima Hui would definitely tell the truth, but instead of just saying that, it would be better to add a little more and use the reputation of his disciple to expand the reputation of his old friend's nephew...



"Crouching dragon and phoenix, if both of them are together, the world will be at peace..."

Liu Bei looked slightly dazed. Although what Sima Hui said was not necessarily true, Liu Bei still believed Xu Shu's words before leaving.

Since Xu Shu can be evaluated as "I am far behind", then Wolong's talent is naturally above him.

Now Liu Bei heard the name of another person from Sima Hui's mouth, Feng Chu Pang Tong, and these two were ranked tied, how could Liu Bei not be yearning for him.

If both of them are together, the world will be at peace. If both of them are under Liu Bei's command, doesn't it mean that the restoration of the Han Dynasty is just around the corner!

However, Sima Hui obviously just wanted to use Liu Bei's reputation to help Pang Tong promote it, and he obviously did not intend to recruit another disciple. To be honest, Feng Chu was optimistic about the Sun family, and now he has gone east to visit Wudi.

Liu Bei could only do some spying, but fortunately he had achieved his goal today. Compared to Feng Chu, Wo Long was the talent he needed most and had the opportunity to recruit.

Instead of focusing on the invisible and intangible, it is better to focus on the present.

Since Sima Hui had already told Liu Bei where Wolong was, Liu Bei was naturally focused on getting one first, and half-heartedness would not do any good.

Besides, Liu Bei is thankful to God that he can find a qualified military advisor now. Asking for more will only make God jealous. Greed for more is not feasible. Liu Bei said that he is not that kind of person...

Longzhong, Nanyang County, was where the military advisor he dreamed of was. Liu Bei took his second and third brothers away from Sima Hui and rushed there non-stop, fearing that he, the Crouching Dragon, would fly away too late...

Seeing Liu Bei leaving, Sima Hui quickly sent someone to Longzhong to report the news.

Although his disciple is a god who knows everything about everything, he is not a real god after all. Even Sima Hui himself does not know that Liu Bei will come today, and Kong Ming definitely doesn't know either. He might as well send someone to report the news first. What will happen then?

The response is left to Kong Ming to make his own decision...

At this time, Mr. Zhuge Kongming, who had lived in seclusion in Longzhong for more than ten years and was called a famous figure in the world by Wolong, who was just waiting to ride the wind, was leisurely drinking tea and reading, completely unaware that the development trajectory of things had deviated from him.
