Chapter 392: Unknown Future
"Oh, haha, I've been busy lately!" Chen Xi shrugged.
Lu Su was too lazy to pay attention to Chen Xi. What a waste of time he was. He just slacked off all day long and had no serious behavior at all.
"Let's go, Zichuan, let's go to Jinyu Pavilion together!"
Guo Jia greeted Chen Xi warmly. Since the two of them often met in some strange places, they became close friends and usually did everything together.
"Fengxiao, have you finished your work?"
Chen Xi glanced at Guo Jia. If he remembered correctly, when he passed by before, he saw that Guo Jia had only completed three-tenths of the task.
"I've handed it over to Pang Shiyuan. He's very efficient at work!" Guo Jia said proudly.
Chen Xi became even more depressed. Li Ru captured Sima Yi to help him, and Guo Jia captured Pang Tong to serve him. It was too much for the two of them to slack off. After all, he was still working.
But Chen Xi had no choice. It would be fine for Lu Xun and Lu Meng to help others and serve as recorders for him, but if they were really pulled to their positions to slack off, it would be a disaster for the two of them.
As for Zhuge Liang, Chen Xi felt even more distressed. Looking at Zhuge Liang, who was dressed in a Confucian robe and looked quite wise, he wished that Zhuge Liang could work for him. Unfortunately, Zhuge Liang was still too young.
If we really leave everything to Zhuge Liang, he might die young because of staying up late and working overtime.
"Hey, let's go, let's go together!" Chen Xi sighed, and he and Guo Jia left the Government Affairs Hall arm in arm.
"What is Jinyutang?" Lu Su asked curiously while trying to do two things at once: work.
"It should be a newly opened brothel, right?" Zhuge Liang said uncertainly .
"Sure enough, these two people are completely hopeless!" Lu Su raised his eyebrows, expressing helplessness about Guo Jia and Chen Xi's moral integrity.
"There's nothing we can do. Maybe this is the Prime Minister and Doctor Guo's unique way of relaxing!" Zhuge Liang couldn't understand why the two of them liked going to Chunlou so much, and they seemed to enjoy it so much.
"There's nothing I can do. Kong Ming, you haven't gotten married yet. You'll understand later!" Lu Su shook his head, speechless at the excuses Zhuge Liang gave to the two of them.
He didn't want to criticize the two in front of Zhuge Liang, but he had the same idea in his mind as Mingjing: Are the two people lustful?
Yes, but it is mostly for the purpose of slacking off, or even for fun.
Seeing Zhuge Liang's puzzled expression, Lu Su didn't say anything. The less one knew about this kind of thing, the better. If Kong Ming also learned bad things, there would be no one to work overtime with him.
"Let's not talk about this anymore, Kong Ming. Take a look at this document. This is Jia Xu's suggestion. We intend to send a few of you younger ones to take the trip. What do you think?"
Zhuge Liang took the document from Lu Su's hand, took a quick look at it and found that it was a letter written in code. He couldn't help but look at Lu Su with doubt, as he had never come across this kind of thing before.
"Follow this rule and use the Eight Trigrams to translate it and it will come out!" Seeing Zhuge Liang's confusion, Lu Su fumbled around on his desk and found a relatively old code comparison booklet.
Zhuge Liang flipped through it and smiled bitterly. It was really a unique thing. If Lu Su hadn't explained it to him, even if he was extremely smart, he would have had to rely on luck to decipher it.
It sounds simple, but it takes genius to come up with such a method. As long as the person who cracks the code knows which book was used as the engraving, he can basically translate it roughly by comparing it. However, for those who don't know which edition the book was made of, this is basically a fantasy.
"I understand!" Zhuge Liang nodded. He was a typical example of someone who could draw inferences from one example. Lu Su only gave him a little hint, but he basically knew everything about the secret code and could even think about it in greater depth.
"Doctor Jia means that you want me and others to serve as military advisors in the Western Regions, Liangzhou, and Bingzhou respectively?" Zhuge Liang frowned slightly. Jia Xu's meaning was very clear . He wanted to set out again to prevent the Youzhou incident.
After all, no matter how many wise men sitting in Luoyang are, and how powerful they are, they cannot understand as much as the wise men who are in the local area.
"Will the disaster caused by the Hu people be very serious? In the north? Could it be... the Northern Huns?!" Zhuge Liang instantly understood what Jia Xu wanted to express deeply.
"Kong Ming, you are really amazing. I'm afraid there will be no other smart person like you throughout history." Lu Su praised without reservation. He admired Zhuge Liang very much and always praised him without reservation.
Zhuge Liang blushed. Lu Su always praised him so frankly, which made him feel a little embarrassed.
Everyone was very tactful when praising others, except Lu Su and Guo Hao, who always praised him with exaggerated words and were extremely frank without any disguise, which made him very shy.
"Zi Jing, you are too kind. This is just an inference based on the intelligence. But is it true that the Northern Huns have appeared again?" Zhuge Liang hesitated for a while and asked in a voice transmission. This matter was of great importance and he really didn't dare to make a fuss.
"Well, he has indeed revived. If I had to send you to the border, I would not have been able to tell you such information." Lu Su also said in a voice transmission.
This kind of thing, you can't ask if you guess it, and you can't say it if you know it. Many people in the Government Affairs Office know about it, but no one has ever made it clear. Everyone just does their own thing quietly.
However, most people actually only have a vague understanding, such as that the Northern Huns infiltrated other Hu tribes to become leaders, or they simply think that there are some remnants of the Northern Huns left.
Including Lu Su, everyone thought that the Northern Huns were just remnants, otherwise they would not have agreed to let Zhuge Liang and others go to a place that could be described as the beginning of hell.
Of course, we are not afraid of the complete version of Crouching Dragon, Phoenix and Tomb Tiger, but it is a pity that the three of them are at most semi-finished products now, and with Lu Xun and Lu Meng, two burdens whose spiritual talents have not been sublimated, going to the battlefield will definitely be a life-and-death situation.
Chen Xi didn't know about this because it was not his responsibility but the general's. However, the general was in seclusion, so the matter would be discussed by the Government Affairs Office and finally handed over to the princess for signature and execution.
At a time when only a few people knew that the Northern Huns were not remnants but the royal court, Zhuge Liang and others embarked on a path that was more difficult than they could imagine.
Anything can happen in a war between empires. Of course, the Government Affairs Office still attached great importance to the Northern Huns. Not only did it send Zhuge Liang and five others, it also sent the three legions of Jiang Wei, Zhong Hui, and Deng Ai out for training.
Eight people can get together to play Three Kingdoms at a table, but there is only one Jiang Wei who is at his peak, and the others are just half-baked. However, everyone in the Government Affairs Office thinks there is no problem.
