Chapter 962: Don’t Force Me To Do It
Which person in the world did not know the benefits of knowing oneself and the enemy in a war?
With this map, not to mention other things, his efficiency would increase by more than a few times.
Xie Xian unfolded the map and looked at it carefully. It was quite detailed. Not only did Zhuge Fu survey the map of Daliang on the spot, but he also surveyed the maps of the various prefectures. He even brought back the records of the previous prefectures to facilitate comparison and correction.
In the eyes of others, Zhuge Fu had been living a carefree life with his wife during his years of wandering in the martial world. However, from Xie Xian’s perspective today, he really wasn’t as carefree as others thought.
He had never been in the martial world before, but that did not prevent him from being in the shoes of others and experiencing the boring hardships of surveying and drawing maps, traversing mountains and rivers.
Xie Xian bowed to the ground,
“On behalf of the people of Daliang, I thank Lord Zhuge for his efforts.”
“Milord’s credit lies in the country.”
Zhuge Shu was also extremely excited. His father really had a share of glory and a share of enthusiasm. He did not waste his talent at all.
“Father!”
Zhuge Fu quickly helped Xie Xian up and kicked his son, Zhuge Shu, at the same time. Why did you come over to join in the fun?
“Grand Tutor, please rise.”
“Uncle by marriage is too polite.”
“Then…Nephew.” Zhuge Fu wasn’t a person who rigidly adhered to etiquette, and handing over the map to Xie Xian was like completing a heavy responsibility.”This is tiring and bitter, but it’s also free and easy. There is A Shu in the court, honor ancestors, live up to talent and learning, I also live up to time in the mountains and rivers, then stop.”
“Uncle in law has the world in his heart.”
“Father, this time, don’t leave.”Zhuge Shu glanced at Xie Xian. He would not forget why his father had left Jiankang. The Ninth Princess of Rouran had first pursued him, then drugged his father to force him to submit. His father had left because of his marriage, so he did not have the confidence to say this now.
“Yes, this little nephew was just thinking of inviting uncle to stay in the court.””Our Daliang Dynasty should not stick to one style and accept talents. In-laws are ambitious and should benefit the people of the world.”
Zhuge Fu shook his head with a smile.” I will do what I promised. I can’t use this as an excuse to drag things out for too long.”
His words made Zhuge’s face turn red.
“.. Father didn’t mean anything else. Father was wrong in the first place, so he should pay the price.”Zhuge Fu was not deliberately trying to make a run on his son. He was simply talking about the matter. He did not expect to hit his son’s soft spot.
“Don’t worry. I realized that you’re a little… Stunned.”
No wonder he didn’t get promoted. This sentence lingered in Zhuge Fu’s heart for a while, but he didn’t say it out loud.
He had just presented the map, and saying this in front of Xie Xian was as if he was asking for an official position for his son.
After that, no matter how Xie Xian invited Zhuge Fu to stay, Zhuge Fu refused all of them. He had made it clear that he had not seen his son for a few years and would come back to stay for a while. After a month, he would still have to leave with his wife and child.
Xie Xian knew that this was not something that could be done in a day, so he did not say anything more. He only stayed until the evening to drink and chat with the Zhuge father and son. It was not until the moon was dark and the wind was high that he returned to the Xie Mansion.
The man was in high spirits and returned to his room, but the situation at the back of the house was a little awkward.
Of course, Xie Wan seemed to be the only one who felt awkward. At least, she felt that.
Whether it was her mother-in-law, Princess Nine, or her sister-in-law, Xiao Baoxin, she could tell that they were both big-hearted. They chatted about all sorts of things, but in the end, they didn’t talk about the martial world. They talked about the days they had spent with Zhuge Fu in the past few years.
Rouran’s Ninth Princess was simply too satisfied. She had lived like a crazy demon who showed off her husband. Three sentences could not be separated from Zhuge Fu.
Her husband was so knowledgeable, so capable, and so interesting in life. He treated her so well and had a unique vision. He could capture dragons in the mountains and turtles in the sea. He was knowledgeable and interesting in life, and he even took care of children…
Her face was filled with happiness and her eyes were filled with brilliance.
All the men in the world were birds. Her husband was a real man, a real man. He even felt that he was blind back then and did not see through this unpolished jade. Fortunately, they were fated to be together. Otherwise, they would have missed such a good man.
Destined?
It seems to be man-made. Have you forgotten that you drugged yourself?
Xie Wan didn’t think that Zhuge Shu was a blind child. She was unhappy. She knew how good Zhuge Shu was!
Xiao Baoxin:
She knew how good her husband was. Who was he trying to bully? Going into the sea to catch turtles-where were the turtles?
Who wouldn’t say it?
She even said that her husband could go to the heavens and embrace the moon!
The women didn’t eat much and sat down to show off.
If your husband is so capable, my husband is even more capable. In the end, if Xiao Baoxin and the Ninth Princess of Rouran were not pregnant, they would have been entangled together.
The servants of the Zhuge family were stunned. They had never seen such a naked gathering of madams.
Moreover, they were all relatives and had martial arts. If they really fought, they might not be as big as each other even if they added up.
Even if they were, two of them were the wives of the Great Zhuge family, and the other one was Grand Tutor Xie, who was a wife-protecting demon. Who would dare to touch him? Was it because they were too tired of their lives?
They were all on high alert, afraid that the two pregnant women would fight.
“.. My husband’s deeds are too many, and it won’t end even after three days and three nights. I’m tired today, so I’ll stop here.”The Ninth Princess of Rouran smiled like a spring breeze.” I’m happy to talk to you guys. In the past, if I really talked to any woman, they would be rude. They would pull a long face and not be willing to talk to me.”
“Why don’t I just get interested here and the couple over there will start fighting? There’s no one to talk to.”
Xiao Baoxin rolled his eyes.”
“Because I’m a foreigner? Or is it because I’m much prettier than them?”
Xie Wan wanted to retort. Fortunately, she was rational. No matter how tired she was, she was still her mother-in-law.
He fell.
” Maybe it’s because,” Xiao Baoxin said bluntly,”” Other people’s marriages aren’t happy, and you’re too-”
“Happiness.” the Ninth Princess said.
Alright, self-restraint.
“Yes.” Xiao Baoxin nodded.”
She was afraid that no matter where the Ninth Princess went, there would be no peace in other people’s homes.
“Then…You guys?” The Ninth Princess realized what was going on.” Don’t fight. After all, Xie Xian’s body is weak. If you injure him again, he will be crippled.” As for Xie Xian, he’s good at everything except-”
“It’s just that anywhere is good!” Xiao Baoxin was also displeased. You’re good with your husband, so there’s no need to belittle others, right?
Besides, what was wrong with Xie Xian? He was young, handsome, unrestrained, and beautiful!
He treated her well.
Compared to Zhuge Fu, Zhuge Shu, Zhuge XX, how could he not be a hundred times stronger?
His gaze was sharp, as if he was telling her not to force him to make a move.
