Hearing the sound outside, it was the laughter of Zhuge Liang and Lu Su, Yin Kuang said: "Zhuge Liang is back, Bai Lu, Tang Rouyu, Qian Qianqian stay, the others leave quickly. Remember, never let Others saw it." Zeng Fei, Ouyang Mu and others nodded silently and hurriedly left Yin Kuang's room. Yin Kuang said to Tang Rouyu and others: "Wait a minute, let's wait and see what happens. Don't take action unless it is absolutely necessary." Bai Lu said: "Okay! We will do what you say. I really want to see it, wait a minute What kind of expression would Zhuge Liang have?"
Yin Kuang, Bai Lu, Tang Rouyu, and Qian Qianqian came to the front hall and saw Zhuge Liang and Lu Su bidding farewell. "Brother Kong Ming, Su will go back to his hometown to pack his bags and head to Xiakou with you and Gong Jin." Because of the establishment of the alliance, the smile on Lu Su's face became obviously more genuine and friendly. Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "That's very good. I have Zijing as my companion all the way, drinking and playing chess, so I won't be lonely."
Lu Su chuckled, then turned around and left.
Yin Kuang and the other four walked up, bowed their hands to Zhuge Liang, and said, "Military advisor."
Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "Now that the alliance between Sun and Liu has been formed, you should pack your bags as soon as possible and follow me to Xiakou immediately to meet my lord." After that, he walked to the backyard.
Yin Kuang said quickly: "Military advisor, I have something to report."
"Oh? What's the matter?" Zhuge Liang asked, and saw Yin Kuang looking around, so he said, "Follow me."
Yin Kuang and the other four followed silently. Not long after, they arrived at the house where Zhuge Liang lived temporarily. Zhuge Liang knelt down in front of the bank, gently shook his feather fan, and said, "Tell me what happened. You need to be so cautious."
Yin Kuang took a step forward and said: "Military Advisor, I have something to tell you. However, before telling me, please forgive us, Military Advisor."
Zhuge Liang frowned slightly and said, "Yeah. I forgive you. But it doesn't matter."
"Actually..." Yin Kuang took a breath, feeling the vain acceleration of his heartbeat. Perhaps because of nervousness, Yin Kuang even felt like he was suffocating, but he still said: "Actually, the four of us were placed by Cao Cao next to Liu Bei. of meticulous work.”
After hearing this, Zhuge Liang frowned slightly in vain, then relaxed, and instead laughed "haha" and said: "Interesting! Interesting! It's really interesting!" Zhuge Liang said "interesting" three times in a row. Then, his eyes swept across Yin Kuang, Bai Lu, Tang Rouyu, Qian Qianqian, and finally, his eyes fell on Yin Kuang. At this time, all the smiles on his face disappeared.
Zhuge Liang then asked leisurely: "Since you are Cao Cao's agents. So, what are you going to do next? Kill me, kidnap me, or beg me for mercy?" At the end of the sentence, Zhuge Liang's face was full of tears. It's a joke.
Zhuge Liang said it leisurely, but Yin Kuang and others felt uncomfortable hearing it.
Because, as Zhuge Liang finished speaking, the surrounding environment changed rapidly. The original simple house was gone, and it was surrounded by a beautiful world of colored glaze. At the same time, bone-chilling coldness also invaded the bodies of the four people. As for the surrounding scene, all I could see was that the top, bottom, left and right were covered with square ice slabs one after another. Layers upon layers, endless. And every piece of ice is painted and engraved with wonderful patterns, some like dragons, some like birds, some like tigers, and some like turtles - needless to say, they are naturally the four mythical beasts!
In addition, it seems that these ice plates with four mythical beasts painted on them are placed according to certain rules, but what rules they are, Yin Kuang and others cannot tell.
The place where Yin Kuang and the four of them were standing was an ice plate with a pattern of a green dragon and a mythical beast.
Zhuge Liang was sitting on another ice slab not far away, leisurely and lightly shaking his feather fan.
The distance between the two ice slabs is only one foot. But looking down, there is an endless abyss below!
One foot, a chasm!
Bai Lu couldn't help but be surprised at first: "Where is this?" Yin Kuang, Tang Rouyu, Qian Qianqian and others all shook their heads in confusion.
Zhuge Liang, who was on the opposite side, said: "This is the 'Four Symbols of Taixu Realm'. It is infinite, without beginning or end. Time and space are at a standstill here. Unless I personally uncover it, there is no possibility for you to break the formation."
Bai Lu's mouth trembled and he asked, "What will happen if you stay here all the time?"
Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "I will be trapped here forever and live forever."
"Immortal? It looks good, doesn't it?" Bai Lu said with a smile, but after seeing the ugly expressions on Yin Kuang and Tang Rouyu's faces, he also scratched his head angrily, "It seems like something is wrong..."
Zhuge Liang said: "So, what else do you have to say. If not, I will leave." As he said that, Zhuge Liang's figure began to blur.
Yin Kuang said quickly: "Military advisor, please wait a moment. Listen to what I have to say!"
Zhuge Liang's vague shadow said: "What else do you have to say?"
Yin Kuang said: "Military advisor, aren't you curious as to why we revealed our identity as Cao Cao's expert?"
"I am indeed a little curious. However, this is not a reason to spare you. Since you are Cao Cao's meticulous agents, why should I show mercy?" As he said that, Zhuge Liang's figure became blurred again, and he was about to disappear.
Yin Kuang said loudly: "I can deliver intelligence and news to you! This is more valuable than trapping the four of us here, right?"
Zhuge Liang's blurry figure stopped being blurry and gradually turned into reality. Zhuge Liang looked at Yin Kuang and others with a chuckle, and said: "This is ridiculous. You are Cao Cao's secret agent, but you say you want to pass on information for me. How can I trust you when your words and deeds are inconsistent with yours?"
"You don't need to believe us. You just need to use us, don't you?" Yin Kuang knew that Zhuge Liang was a little interested, otherwise he would not talk such nonsense to Yin Kuang. After listening to Yin Kuang's words, Zhuge Liang said: "Interesting! You kid is indeed interesting."
Yin Kuang continued: "Moreover, even though we are Cao Cao's secret agents, we have never done anything harmful to Liu Bei. Not only was it harmless, I also rescued General Zilong from Xinye, and later I risked my life to save Adou and others. Madam Mi. I think these military advisors see it, don't they? We sincerely admire Liu Xuande's benevolence and cannot bear to hurt him. Moreover, we have no choice but to give in to Cao Cao. If we don't give in, we will only die."
Zhuge Liang nodded, not sure whether he believed Yin Kuang, so he said: "What you said is true. With your merits, if there are no serious mistakes, I believe that the lord is kind, and I will not bear to kill you. However, this cannot conceal the fact that you are The facts and culpability of Cao Cao's meticulous work. At this time, I will report it to the lord and let him decide." Zhuge Liang paused and asked: "Now, do you want to abandon the dark side and join the light?"
Yin Kuang shook his head and said: "In troubled times, human lives are like ants. But ants still live in vain. What's more, we are human beings. If I rebel against Cao Cao, even if Liu Bei can tolerate me, others may not. And Cao Cao also regards us as A thorn in the side. This will eventually lead to death."
Zhuge Liang said calmly: "Then what else do you have to say?"
Yin Kuang said: "Cao Cao sent a secret order a few days ago..."
Zhuge Liang asked: "What is the secret order?"
"Hijack Xiao Qiao!"
"Oh?" Zhuge Liang stroked his beard gently, pointed at Yin Kuang with his feather fan, and said, "Continue talking."
Yin Kuang said: "Cao Cao did this for two reasons. First, to rob beauties to enrich the harem. Second, to blame Liu Bei and divide the relationship between Sun and Liu."
"Nonsense! How can our Lord, who is benevolent and righteous, do extremely dirty things!" Zhuge Liang scolded.
Yin Kuang continued: "As the military advisor knows, it is extremely difficult to rob Xiao Qiao. If we cannot complete the task, we will definitely die. Therefore, in order to survive, we can only seek help from the military advisor."
"Help me? Hahahaha!" Zhuge Liang laughed loudly: "You are too whimsical. That's all. Just stay in this endless illusion."
Yin Kuang said hurriedly: "Taking Xiao Qiao captive will be of great benefit to Liu Bei. Why wouldn't the military advisor do it?"
"Benefit? Ridiculous! Taking away wives and concubines will be of benefit to the lord? Even if it is beneficial, the lord will definitely not behave badly!"
"Liu Bei can't! But the military advisor can!"
Zhuge Liang was a little angry, "You!"
Yin Kuang said: "The military advisor originally worked in Nanyang and survived in troubled times. Liu Bei did not think that the military advisor was despicable, but with a noble body, he paid three visits to the thatched cottage. A wise man will die for his close friends. If the military advisor is plotting against Liu Bei, he should devote himself to assisting him. Do whatever you can to repay Liu Bei's kindness. What I said is true or not? If it is beneficial to Liu Bei, and it is not a pity for the military commander to die, why talk about taking other people's wives and concubines?"
After hearing this, Zhuge Liang narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Yin Kuang quietly, and said for a long time: "I despise my knowledge and dedicate myself to repaying my lord's great kindness. I don't deserve you to talk too much. Can you tell me, taking away Xiao Qiao will be beneficial to my lord?" "
After hearing this, Yin Kuang finally breathed a sigh of relief and said: "One: Provoke Zhou Yu! Make him fight against Cao Cao wholeheartedly! Another, use Cao Cao's despicable behavior to boost morale and make Soochow united, which will be of great benefit to defeat Cao! Military advisor Can you agree?"
"continue."
"Second: When the military advisor defeats Cao Cao, I will hand Xiao Qiao over to you. You can spread the word that Liu Bei saved Xiao Qiao, which will show Liu Bei's benevolence. Then use Xiao Qiao as a hostage in exchange for Jingzhou."
As soon as Zhuge Liang opened his eyes, he looked at Yin Kuang and said, "Do you know that I am interested in Jingzhou?"
Yin Kuang was silent.
Zhuge Liang exhaled and said, "What do you want?"
"Stay alive!" Yin Kuang said: "I can't kidnap Xiao Qiao, so I have no choice but to die. If I kidnap Xiao Qiao, I can return to Cao Cao. After that, I can deliver three messages to the military advisor. In this way, you and I can't live together." I owe each other. I am just a small worm in the world, no match for big men like you. You are fighting for the world and have nothing to do with us. I only want a chance to survive. Please be aware of this, military advisor."
Zhuge Liang glanced at Yin Kuang, then looked at the other three people, uttered two words, and said: "Okay!"
