Chapter 764 The imposing little housekeeper
Before the big ship that was descending downstream arrived in Jiangdong, Zhuge Jin began to figure out how to escape unstoppable. If Yuan Shu knew about this fact, he would definitely vomit three liters of blood... If Yuan Shu wanted to blame him, he could only blame himself. Who made him know the unknown and sent an envoy who was unwilling to help him become king from the bottom of his heart?
As an aide, Zhuge Jin could provide reference for Yuan Shu to manage his internal affairs, but he was not obliged to help Yuan Shu become king. Even if he returned to Jiangdong this time without success, Yuan Shu had any objections to Zhuge Jin, and he could not do anything to others. After all, no one stipulated that he would be able to complete the task successfully if he was on a mission.
Zhuge Jin did not want to compromise with Sun Jian against his will to promote an offensive and defensive alliance that had been hopeless. Zhuge Jin did not want to be attacked by the shrimp soldiers and crab generals under Yuan Shu after returning to Shouchun. Therefore, he thought of an idea that could both swear Yuan Shu and not have to go against his wishes, which was to pretend to be sick!
Although the method of pretending to be sick is a bit vulgar, it is the easiest to implement. Zhuge Jin just needs to sleep in the inn and throw the important task of meeting Sun Jian to his housekeeper Zhuge Fang, and he can sleep soundly. After spending enough time, Zhuge Jin will take the housekeeper back to Shouchun sickly. If anyone has any objection, then go to Dongwu by himself. Anyway, Zhuge Jin plans to stay ill this time until he sees the situation in the world before he says he will recover.
If Zhuge Jin is "ill", everything will be supported by Zhuge Fang. Moreover, whether he is sick or not has to be strongly cooperated by the butler to play the role. Therefore, before entering Wu County, Zhuge Jin told the butler about his plan, which made Zhao Zhenbang complain in his heart, but could not refuse.
Thinking about it, Zhao Zhenbang was really wronged. He wanted to stay in Shouchun to mess with Yuan Shu and his son, but because he got too close to Zhuge Jin, he was arrested and dragged to Jiangdong like a soldier. Now Zhuge Jin asked him to take the lead and act as a shield. Not only did he also suppress his contempt for the Yuan family in front of his future father-in-law, and pretended to say good things for Yuan Shu. This made Zhao Zhenbang, who has always been good at disguising, feel a little overwhelmed. This time he fooled his old Taishan. How should he meet after marrying someone else's daughter?
Although he was a little unwilling and reluctant, in order to successfully recruit Zhuge Jin in the future, Zhao Zhenbang still bit the bullet and took on this very "mistakeable" job.
When Yuan Shu was on a mission to Dongwu, he naturally had to be investigated by the guards when he entered the gate of Wu County. At this time, the little butler, known as "study and familiar", stood up and began his fooling journey.
Zhao Zhenbang saluted the leader of the officers and soldiers guarding the east gate of Wu County, and then said anxiously: "This Bing Master, the young man is a housekeeper in Zhuge Ziyu's mansion in the Zhengzhong of Yangzhou. My son was entrusted by the Yangzhou Mu Yuan Highway. Today, he came to Wu County to visit the Sunzhou Mu. However, because the wind on the river was strong, my son was infected with a cold wind and had been sick for several days. Today, he had already started to have a fever and slap. He also asked the Bing Master to spread it for us and quickly let the young master enter the city for medical treatment!" Zhao Zhenbang's voice was very loud, which made the whole person who came and went to the east gate clearly heard it.
The general who guarded the East City Gate of Wu County was named Xu Sheng. He lived in Jiangdong due to the war. He just joined the army two years ago and was promoted because of his outstanding performance. Now he has reached the position of goalkeeper. However, Xu Sheng is not simple. He is an important general under Sun Quan, the emperor of the Eastern Wu. He is a general, meticulous and full of plans. Although he is now just a young goalkeeper, he can also grasp the priorities of the matter.
When Xu Sheng heard that the envoy sent by Yuan Shu to envoy the Eastern Wu was seriously ill, he immediately opened a convenient door for the envoys piled at the gate of the city, and personally guided Zhao Zhenbang and his party to the inn. On the way, two guards were sent to the provincial governor's office and the clinic, one reported the message and the other invited the doctor.
After entering the inn, Zhao Zhenbang quickly "served" Zhuge Jin, who was already unconscious, lay down on the bed, then found the minor official in the inn, stuffed silver, and asked someone to help burn some hot water and send it into the room.
While there was no one around him, Zhao Zhenbang whispered to Zhuge Jin: "Young Master, the doctor is coming later. Don't be too hot. You must hold this water in your arms and pretend to be talking nonsense and swaying!"
Zhuge Jin squeezed his eyes at the butler and signaled that he knew how to pretend to be sick.
Not long after, the enthusiastic and careful Xu Sheng led the doctor into the house to diagnose Zhuge Jin, but Zhao Zhenbang took this stall to get married with Xu Sheng. Like his father, Zhao Zhenbang had a pair of eyes that were good at observing people. He felt that the young goalkeeper he met at the gate of Wu County today was very good, so he had a little more thought of making friends.
After a doctor's diagnosis, it was initially determined that Zhuge Jin was weak and contracted a cold in the river. Now that the fever has not subsided, he is confused. He just takes a few pieces of fever-reducing medicine and rest in bed more, and he will gradually recover after a while.
After seeing off the doctor and Xu Sheng, only Zhuge Jin and the butler were left in the room, the two of them muttered in the room for a long time, discussing the matter of Zhao Zhenbang going to see Sun Jian tomorrow.
In fact, shortly after Zhuge Jin entered the city, Sun Jian received news from Xu Sheng to send someone. But as the lord of a state, he would not have gone to the inn for an envoy. What's more, Yuan Shu sent someone to Jiangdong this time, so he pretended not to know and save him from being upset.
Early the next morning, Zhuge Fang, the young butler who had stopped working, took the gifts that Yuan Shu had given him when he came to Wuzhou, walked in front of several followers in a big manner, and headed straight to the Wuzhou Muslim Mansion.
Sun Jian, who was talking to Zhang Zhao, Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, Lu Su, and Gu Yong in the mansion, suddenly heard a report from the door saying that Yuan Shu and his cousin Zhuge Fang of Zhuge Jin came to visit Lord Zhou Mu, saying that there was something important to report. Sun Jian was stunned. Unexpectedly, Zhuge Jin actually brought a deputy envoy with him. It seemed that he would have to see him this time, so he asked the doorman to go and invite Deputy Envoy Yuan Shu into the hall.
If an ordinary person is a fifteen- or six-year-old boy who suddenly meets Sun Jian, a fierce tiger in Jiangdong who holds a army of 100,000 and has several counties, he will be a little nervous. If he is a timid, he will be afraid that he can't even walk.
But Zhuge Fang is different from other young men. In recent years, he has never seen any big shots like the prime minister, the governor, the governor, the legion commander, and the two kings who came to be the younger brother. So when he came to the hall and was watched by everyone, especially Sun Jianhu, he was actually calm and composed. The grand aura emitted from his body actually convinced everyone in the hall.
Zhao Zhenbang bowed to Sun Jian in the seat, and then said loudly: "Zhuge Fang, the butler of the Yangzhou Zhizhong, came to visit the Sunzhou Governor today on behalf of Zhuge Ziyu, the special envoy of Yuan Gonglu..."
