It was nearing the annual Autumn Sacrifice Ceremony of the Jingzhou, which was the most important festival in the hearts of the citizens of the Jingzhou. Although the official ceremony had not yet started, the Jingzhou City was already crowded and bustling with noise and excitement. The officials of the Jing Xiang Jiu County arrived at the Jingzhou one by one. Everyone, merchants and citizens gathered around, all of them beaming with joy. The morning sun shone down on the Jingzhou City, everything seemed to be flourishing. This Jing Xiang Jiu County is really a rare land of peace and happiness!

At eight or nine in the morning, the ceremony officially began with a burst of ancient melodious music. As the master of the Jingzhou, Liu Biao led the family and the officials of the Jing Xiang Jiu County out of the office and to the square in front of the office. As Liu Biao's honored guest, Chen Lang followed behind Liu Biao and the others.

The plaza was filled with thousands of people, all of them were clamoring, but when Liu Biao appeared, the entire place became quiet, all of the citizens knelt down, and in an instant, the mountainous crowd turned into a mass of heads. Seeing this scene, Chen Lang was surprised, he never thought that Liu Biao would actually be so popular in the Jing Xiang Jiu County, and the opinion he had of Liu Biao in his heart grew even more.

What followed next was a long ceremony that was filled with an ancient charm. Chen Lang only felt drowsy, but had no choice but to focus on following Liu Biao around in various activities. It took them a long time to reach noon, and all their activities had finally come to an end. Following that was the grand feast. Everyone was drinking and enjoying their hearts' content. There was no need to speak any further about the scene before them. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

After the ceremony ended, Chen Lang bade farewell to Liu Biao and returned to his own camp. Returning to the camp, Guan Yu and Chunyu Qiong immediately welcomed them. After the greeting, Guan Yu said: "Not long ago, news came from the Central Plains that all the remnants of xanthopanax were exterminated. Huang Pusong, Zhu Jun, Lu Zhi and the others were rewarded by the imperial government! The war is over! "

The group walked into the big tent. Chen Lang walked to the front and sat down, thinking: "If that's the case, we will be transferred back to the Luoyang in the near future."

Guan Yu handed over an official document, and said: This is the official document we just received, the imperial government has ordered us to lead the troops to the Luoyang.

Chen Lang took the document and read through it. Just as Guan Yu had said, the imperial government had ordered his batch of Feathered Forest Ying Yang Army to be transferred to Luoyang. Chen Lang put down the official documents and said: "Since the order has been given, you all can send orders to prepare to leave the camp and head north." The generals cupped their fists in response. Chen Lang said: "But I still have some things to attend to, we'll leave camp and head north in three days."

When Chen Lang returned to the tent he was staying in, he saw Juan'er packing up. "Juan'er." Juan'er hurriedly turned around and saw Chen Lang. Her face immediately revealed a look of pleasant surprise, "Young Master, you're back!" Ying Ying then stepped forward and bowed, "This servant pays her respect to young master!" Chen Lang held onto her hands and helped her up, laughing: "There is no need to be so courteous!" Juan'er raised her head, glanced at Chen Lang, and immediately lowered her head, appearing a little embarrassed and bashful.

Chen Lang sat down, and Juan'er immediately brewed a cup of tea for Chen Lang to serve. Chen Lang accepted the teacup and drank a mouthful of tea. He put it down and said to Juan'er, "We will be leaving for Luoyang in three days. Juan'er replied.

Chen Lang asked, "Juan'er, have you heard about the matters regarding the Wolonggang in the vicinity?" Juan'er blankly shook her head. Chen Lang chuckled, and thought to himself: How could Juan'er, who stays in the army all day, know about the affairs of the Wolonggang?

Juan'er said, "Young Master, I'll go cook for you." As he spoke, he prepared to leave. Chen Lang hurriedly said: "There's no need to be busy, I'm going out right now, I'm not eating here anymore." Juan'er asked in surprise, "Is the young master going out again?"

Chen Lang laughed, stood up, and said to Juan'er: "I'm leaving." Juan'er bowed and said, "This servant pays her respects to young master!" Chen Lang left the tent.

Chen Lang led Guan Yu, dressed in casual clothes, and rode towards the Wolonggang. Just the two of them did not bring any followers. The two of them did not know where the Wolonggang was, but luckily, the Wolonggang was a very famous place, after they casually asked a farmer, they already knew where the Wolonggang was. Chen Lang was extremely happy, when he thought about how he was going to meet the legendary demon Zhuge Liang, he couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart.

The two quickly rode on horseback. Along the way, they only saw the green mountains which were as long as green water, and the beautiful scenery made people feel extremely relaxed. After passing through a dense forest of pine trees, he saw a bamboo forest in the distance. In front of the bamboo forest was a large paddy field, where a dozen farmers were planting their plants, and the melodious song of the farmers echoed between the fields, drifting in the blue sky. In the distance, a huge water wheel sat at the edge of the stream, slowly turning, constantly pulling out the clear water from the stream, causing the water to splash about; a few birds flew in the sky, and then landed in the fields on the cart, and then flew back into the bamboo forest.

Seeing this scene, Guan Yu could not help but exclaim: "This place is so peaceful!"

Chen Lang laughed: "This is indeed a good place."

The two of them urged their horses forward until they came to a spot between the paddy fields. Chen Lang reined his horse and spoke to an old farmer who was working nearby: "Elder, please ask!" The old farmer straightened his back and turned around. When he saw Chen Lang and Guan Yu, he felt that they had extraordinary bearing and must definitely be extraordinary.

Chen Lang asked: "Old man, is this Wolonggang?"

Old farmer nodded, "This place is the Wolonggang."

"Is there a Mr. Wolong in Wolonggang?"

The old farmer was stunned for a moment before he laughed, "Brave men sure know how to joke! It's not like I'm telling a book, there's no Mister Lie Long here, this old man has never heard of anything like that! "

Chen Lang was very surprised and thought to himself, "Isn't Zhuge Liang living in seclusion in the Wolonggang? "How come there's no such thing?" Then, Chen Lang thought: 'These farmers probably don't know Zhuge Liang's name. After all, they are not the same kind of people as Zhuge Liang.' Thinking of this, he changed the way he asked, "Are there any scholars living on this mound?" As expected, the old farmer nodded his head and pointed towards the bamboo forest in the distance. "There are a few scholars living in the depths of the bamboo forest." Chen Lang was overjoyed, cupped his fists and said: "Thank you, elder!" The old farmer cupped his fists and said with a smile, "Brave one, no need to be polite!"

Chen Lang rode his horse towards the bamboo forest in the distance. Guan Yu immediately followed. Guan Yu could not help but ask: "Big brother, just who are you looking for?"

Chen Lang laughed, "Zhuge Liang is called Mister Wolong, he is an extraordinary person!" Guan Yu thought for a moment, then frowned: "But I have never heard of such a person!" Chen Lang laughed: "He is not very famous right now." Guan Yu was at a loss.

While they were talking, they had already entered the bamboo forest. As soon as they entered the bamboo forest, the two of them had a wonderful feeling, as if the world had been isolated from the world. Once they entered the bamboo forest, the two of them had a strange feeling, as if the world had been isolated from the world.

The two of them walked for a while and saw that there was a small tavern hidden in the shadows of the bamboo forest not far away from the col. The faint sounds of people laughing and talking could be heard from it. Guan Yu pointed to the tavern, and said: "Big brother, let's go in and finish eating at the bar, and also ask about that Mr. Lie Long some news!" Chen Lang nodded, "Alright." The two of them headed straight for the wine shop, and when they arrived, they dismounted from their horses, tied the horses to the posts at the entrance, and lifted the curtains to let themselves in.

The moment he walked into the tavern, he immediately saw an old man with a long hair, a pair of linen clothes, and an extraordinary appearance. He was sitting by the window alone, drinking and singing loudly, enjoying himself to his heart's content! Chen Lang and Guan Yu could not help but look at each other.

The old man suddenly shouted, "This old man suddenly feels a wave of heroism rushing over. I wonder which hero has come to this destitute place?" Saying that, the old man turned his head and looked at Chen Lang and Guan Yu.

Chen Lang stepped forward and cupped his fists: "Greetings, old man!" The old man looked at Chen Lang and cupped his fists in return: "I am a person from the mountains, I do not dare to be such a gift as a general!"

Chen Lang asked curiously: "You know that I'm an expert in the martial arts?"

The old man chuckled and then said with a smile, "General Jiang Hu has a bold and unrestrained manner. If he isn't someone who has been through many battles, then who else could he be?" Chen Lang laughed: "The elder is brilliant!" The elder pointed to the seat opposite him and said, "General, please sit!" Chen Lang then walked to the opposite of the old man and sat down, while Guan Yu followed behind him with his sword.

The old man raised his voice and shouted, "Waiter, bring me another pot of good wine!" The waiter responded by bringing a jug of wine over and placing it on the table before leaving.

The old man picked up a wine jug and poured a bowl for Chen Lang, then poured himself another bowl. He placed the jug down, picked up a wine bowl, and said: "I toast to the general!" Chen Lang picked up his wine bowl, "I dare not, I toast to the old sir!" And then he raised his head and drained the wine. The old man laughed and raised his thumb in praise, "General is indeed generous!" He then raised his head and drained his wine, put down his wine bowl, coughed twice, and asked Chen Lang: "I still haven't heard of General Gao's name!"

Chen Lang cupped his fists and said: "I do not dare, my surname is Chen, and my name is only Lang. I wonder what this old mister's name is? "

The old man revealed an expression of surprise, cupped his fists and said: "So it's the famous General Ying Yang! This old one is truly lacking in manners! "

Chen Lang asked in surprise: "Old sir, have you heard of me?"

Laughing, the elder spoke, "It seems that the general doesn't even know his own name!" Although this old one is only a man of the mountains, I have heard constantly of the heroic deeds of the general! The general rose up from the grass but still carried the people in his heart. He fought many bloody battles with the Yellow Bandits, saving countless good people! Especially the battle at the Lushan River Palace, where a group of four thousand generals actually dared to fight a bloody battle with fifty thousand bandits, it was truly shocking! The fearless have no qualms about using it on a general! "
