The Invisible Man who was hiding in the dark and had the same powers as Freddy finally escaped after taking a bullet from Zeng Fei. The other dark figure Zeng Fei discovered never showed up again, as if he had never appeared before. After that, everyone carefully checked around and made sure there was nothing abnormal before returning to the post house. Then, after everyone disposed of Hong Zhong's body, they waited for the return of Zhuge Liang and Yin Kuang.
Then not long after, Zhuge Liang returned to the posthouse accompanied by Lu Su. When Zhuge Liang and Lu Su saw the incident at the post house, Zhuge Liang was fine and laughed it off. Lu Su was different. The post house where Zhuge Liang stayed temporarily was almost burned down, so that's not a big deal! ? He immediately became furious, scolded all the postmen in the posthouse, and then dispatched many soldiers to guard the posthouse. After arranging everything, Lu Su apologized to Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang naturally wouldn't blame him. After appeasing Lu Su with a few words, he asked Tang Rouyu and others. Therefore, Tang Rouyu reported various situations to Zhuge Liang in detail. Of course, Tang Rouyu only said what should be said and made up what could not be said.
After listening to Tang Rouyu's report, Zhuge Liang pinched the beard on his chin, shook his feather fan slightly, and seemed to be thinking about who did it, and said: "Do you know who did it?"
Tang Rouyu shook her head and said: "I don't know. They came and left quickly, and they were all dressed in black and masked. But... although most of the enemies ran away, we still killed two attackers. The bodies were placed on the backyard."
"oh?"
Before Zhuge Liang could speak, Lu Su had already said: "Take us there quickly! I want to see who is so wanton and bold!" Obviously, although Zhuge Liang did not mean to blame him, the upright Lu Su still felt very guilty. . Tang Rouyu looked at Zhuge Liang, who nodded. On the way to the backyard, Tang Rouyu asked: "Military advisor, where is Yin Kuang?" Zhuge Liang said: "They were attacked on the road and separated. If nothing unexpected happens, they will almost be back."
Tang Rouyu's heart sank slightly, but she immediately thought: "With Yin Kuang's ability, it shouldn't be that easy for him to get into trouble, right?"
After everyone arrived in the backyard, Bai Lu and Wei Ming carried the two corpses out of a cave in the rockery, and then placed them in front of Zhuge Liang and Lu Su. Lu Su couldn't wait to untie the mat wrapping the body and turn the body inside out. However, when he saw the appearance of the corpse, he was shocked, "This is impossible!" As he said, he turned out another corpse, but it was a corpse covered in tatters, but his appearance was clearly visible. , and when he saw the man's appearance, Lu Su stood up blankly, "This..."
After Zhuge Liang saw the two corpses clearly, his brows wrinkled slightly, and the feather fan that kept shaking stopped.
Although Tang Rouyu and others wanted to see the expressions of Zhuge Liang and Lu Su, they were afraid that they would notice the clues, so they consciously lowered their heads and stood aside without saying a word.
Zhuge Liang frowned for only a moment, and then he said: "Zijing, do you know these two people?" Lu Su said "this" and his eyes dodged. "Haha, if Zijing knows, don't tell me, so that Liang knows who wants to kill me." Lu Su did know, but he couldn't tell; but facing Zhuge Liang, he didn't want to He deceived him, so Lu Su hesitated. After listening to Zhuge Liang's words, Lu Su finally gritted his teeth and said: "The two of them... one is the deputy commander of the bodyguards of Zhang Zibu's house, and the other is Gu Yuantan's personal guard." After finishing speaking, Lu Su He took a big step, turned around, bowed his hands and waist towards Zhuge Liang, and said: "Sir, this is Su's fault! Even if Mr. Su wants to die to apologize, Su will never complain. Su will definitely report this matter to the Marquis of Wu. The Marquis of Wu is fair Being selfless, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."
Zhuge Liang hurriedly stepped forward and helped Lu Su up, "Zijing, Zijing, what does this have to do with you? It must be that the two adults Zhang and Gu had some misunderstandings about Liang, so they acted impulsively. Moreover, even these two How can we be sure that Zhang and Gu did it when they were running errands at the house of Zhang and Gu? At this moment, since the man is dead and Liang has nothing to do, let's just leave it at this moment, right?"
Lu Su shook his head resolutely and said solemnly: "I must investigate this matter thoroughly to give you justice and give me a clear day in Jiangdong. Sir, I will go to see the Marquis of Wu right now. These two corpses..." Zhuge Liang said. : "Since Zijing has made up his mind, Liang will say no more. Since these two corpses are the servants of Zhang and Gu, please take them. Only after death can they rest in peace."
Lu Su bowed sincerely and said: "Sir, your righteousness is too great for me. Sir, I will arrange some more people to ensure that Mr. Su is fine. Su, I'll say goodbye." After saying that, he waved to the accompanying guards. , two guards came up and picked up the body on the ground. Then, Lu Su led the guards and left in a hurry.
Lu Su stepped out of the door of the post house with his front foot, and Yin Kuang and Pan Longtao entered the post house with his back foot. When they were in the front yard of the post house, the two of them saw the small forest that had been burned by the fire and one or two dark houses. They couldn't help but look at each other and thought in their hearts: "Sure enough, we were attacked. "
When the two of them walked into the main hall of the post house, they happened to meet Zhuge Liang, who was returning from the backyard. He was already a member of Class 1237. Yin Kuang and Pan Longtao hurriedly went up to salute. Of course, they also apologized: "My subordinate is incompetent, please punish me by the military advisor." Neither of them elaborated on the original situation, but directly confessed their guilt. In the army, this is the wisest approach.
Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "What's the crime? If you hadn't entangled the enemy, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to escape the disaster. Not only did you have no fault, you actually made merit." After saying that, Zhuge Liang swept Tang Rouyu's crowd with his feather fan and said with a smile, "There's more. You guys. If you hadn't been guarding this inn, I'm afraid I would be like that Wu Marquis, with nowhere to rest tonight. It's been an eventful night, and I think you're tired too, so go down and rest. I know my credit for today's work."
Zhuge Liang spoke, and everyone naturally bowed and retreated.
After Yin Kuang, Tang Rouyu and others retreated, the smile on Zhuge Liang's face gradually dissipated, and even the confident smile he had always worn disappeared. Then a touch of worry climbed onto his cheeks, so that the feather fan in his hand Forgot to fan. Later, Zhuge Liang came to the backyard and took out a lifelike wooden bird from his sleeve. Then, without knowing what he did, the little wooden bird flew up and disappeared into the night sky in the blink of an eye.
Soon after, a dark shadow entered the room where Zhuge Liang was resting.
"Military advisor..." A man wearing a wooden mask knelt on the ground with his head lowered, as if waiting for Zhuge Liang's reprimand. Zhuge Liang glanced at him and said, "Can you explain to me why our people came here to assassinate me." The man in the wooden mask lowered his head further, "Please ask the military to atone. I don't know the reason for this. . However, please listen to my explanation, military advisor."
Zhuge Liang said: "So, they acted privately?"
The wooden masked man said: "This... yes. But my subordinates have just approached them. Their explanation... is quite reasonable."
Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Could it be that he wants to put the blame on Cao Cao and then prompt us to form an alliance with Sun Quan?"
"This, yes."
"Hmph! I think they are seeking personal revenge. Since they are hiding around Zhou Yu and Sun Quan, they must know that Zhou Yu is inviting me to a banquet tonight, so they dare to act so recklessly. Their real target is Yin Kuang and the others. They will burn it while I am not around. In the post house, assassinating the guards can immediately prompt an alliance and eliminate enemies. And those attackers are on the side of the peace faction. Even if they are discovered, the responsibility can be passed on to Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong and others. These, they can Did you tell me?"
The wooden masked man raised his head slightly, and then said: "I have never reported it to my subordinates."
"The strategy is good. It's a pity that it's not used by human beings." Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "Go and ask why they attacked Yin Kuang and others."
"This... my subordinates guessed that maybe they discovered something was wrong with Yin Kuang and others. They were so eager to make contributions that they forgot to report it. Although it has happened, it is excusable. Military advisor, now is the time to employ people, so please invite military advisor... "
Zhuge Liang said: "When did I say I would punish them? However, since they want the lives of Yin Kuang and others... let them go. It's not bad to let them keep an eye on Yin Kuang and others."
"Yes, military advisor."
Zhuge Liang continued: "And! A fire tonight will disrupt my plan. With Sun Quan's temperament, I'm afraid he will hesitate again. A strong medicine must be administered. Otherwise, the alliance will be far away. My lord can't wait for that. Long."
"Please give the military advisor an order!"
"Kid Xiao Qiao and put the blame on Cao Cao. With this strong medicine, an alliance can be formed and morale can be used. Cao Cao will be defeated in just a short time!"
