It was late at night.

The towering Tongque Tai also fell into darkness, a bright moon shines on Yecheng, when the child is gone, the people have already fallen asleep, the street is walking back and forth with patrolmen, knocking on the bangzi, drinking a sip of wine, meeting a few patrolling soldiers, greeting, everyone sits down on the ground, chatting.

At this time, on the top of the bronze bird platform, behind the nine-fold gate, there is a low palace, Stanley silver wall, looking from a distance, like a palace carved of ice, only a few palace lamps are lit in the hall, if you don't listen carefully, you don't know that there is a woman crying inside.

"Mother, Daddy will come back." A seven or eight-year-old boy is gently patting the back of a middle-aged woman, he is wearing a silk brocade robe, the middle-aged woman wipes her tears, raises her teary eyes, although it is no longer a cardamom year, but she can't hide her once coquettish, and this age, just add a bit of charm and mature charm to her.

"This Tongque Terrace was originally built for me, but I didn't expect it to eventually become my cold palace." The middle-aged woman touched the child's immature face and said with a smile: "Rui'er, fortunately with you, if it weren't for you, my mother would have gone crazy a long time ago!" ”

"Mother, where did Daddy go?" The young man's name is Cao Rong, and he is the son of Cao Pi.

"Your father followed your grandfather to the front, and when he won this battle, he came back."

"Uncle, why haven't you seen him lately?" Cao Ei's words shocked her, and Cao Ei then asked: "Mother, last year I saw a painting in my uncle's room, which said a poem "Luo Shen Fu", which is good, but the person on the painting is like a mother. ”

The middle-aged woman hurriedly said: "That's the appearance of Luo Shen in my uncle's imagination, and the portrait of my mother, it's just a coincidence." ”

"I don't think it's a coincidence, my uncle often gets drunk and talks nonsense, once I heard him shouting 'Zhen Mi', 'Zhen Mi', I think that's not my mother's name?"

"Ei'er, who else have you told about this?" Zhen Ji became nervous.

"No, I haven't told anyone about it." Cao Rong saw that her expression had changed, and she was also a little nervous.

Zhen Ji believed his words, because Cao Ei was by his side since he was a child, and he rarely spent time with Cao Pi, so he was not as ruthless and cunning as Cao Pi, he was very honest, plus Cao Ei was born smart, Zhen Ji loved it very much, and even Cao Zhi, who often came to the door, was also very fond of it, and sometimes said two crazy words when people were away, such as "My son is smart" and the like.

Zhen Ji is very worried, does Cao Rong know about the things between herself and Cao Zhi? Tomorrow, she will go to Cao Zhi and tell him to keep his mouth shut and not let Cao Rong know those things that he shouldn't know.

"How's your studies going? What is Master teaching you? Zhen Ji changed the topic, there were no tears in her eyes, although she resented Cao Pi and Xinna's concubines day and night, but she was also afraid that her affairs with Cao Zhi would be known to him, because Cao Pi had not been here for several months, and there was not even a single message, and the palace maid she placed beside Cao Pi often brought letters, writing about Cao Pi**'s harem life.

"Master hasn't taught me the craft yet, and he's still learning Mozi." Cao Rong said.

Zhen Ji understands that Cao Rong has been smart since he was a child, and he especially likes to fiddle with clever and strict tools, and when he saw the gadgets invented by Jianye, he couldn't put it down, so he had to learn from Jianye, but Zhen Ji couldn't resist him, so he had to agree to learn from Jianye.

Since the completion of Tongquetai, Jianye has become the leader of engineering, and his subordinates must have hundreds of skilled craftsmen, and are planning to build a cemetery for Cao Cao, because Cao Cao has an order, the cemetery is not allowed to be luxurious, and to set up seventy-two doubtful graves, so how to set up this doubtful grave has become a headache for him, and then Cao Cao ordered that these doubtful graves should be clever, and there are simple, and they must be different, the most headache for them is that Cao Cao asked to create a highly simulated corpse, placed in the doubtful tomb, in short, Cao Cao's purpose was not to let future generations recognize him.

Jianye has been planning three things recently, one is the construction of Cao Cao's tomb, the second is how to deal with the "Luban Secret Map" in his hand, and the third is how to get out of the way.

And what worries him the most is the letter that Zhuge Liang recently secretly sent, this letter is surprisingly long, and it was sent in batches, some were delivered by mechanical birds, some were delivered by manpower, and some were asked him to follow the prompts to find, tossing and turning for three months, before and after finally getting the letter together, Jianye read the long letter in the moonlight in the middle of the night, and when he finished reading, it was already dawn, but his back was soaked with sweat.

Zhuge Liang in the long letter, detailed everything that has happened in recent years, as well as the Asura King's invasion plan, as the successor of Lu Ban, Jianye inherited all the secret skills of Lu Ban, and fulfilled Lu Ban's last wish before his death, creating a miracle that no one has ever come before or after, this miracle is Tongquetai.

"Someone is going to kill you, you should hide so that you don't get killed, and I will arrange for the news of your death to be announced, and then, all you have to do is stay in hiding until I send someone to tell you what to do next." At the end of Zhuge Liang's long letter, there was such a sentence.

Jianye didn't quite understand what Zhuge Liang meant, but he completely trusted him, because when he heard Zhuge Liang's plan many years ago, he was already dumbfounded in surprise, he didn't expect that Zhuge Liang still had a follow-up plan, and why, he could only know afterwards, and the only thing to do now was to do what Kong Ming ordered.

Back then, if it weren't for Zhuge Liang's rescue, he Jianye would have died in the ice and snow, in order to repay his kindness, Jianye was willing to be his shadow and complete everything he wanted to accomplish.

"For the sake of the common people." Whenever Jianye asked him about the purpose of everything, Zhuge Liang would always answer like this, looking old and cunning, not at all like what people his age would say.

Tonight, Jianye was ready, he came to the suburbs alone in the forest, carrying a long sword, carrying a package, after making sure that there was no one around, he slowly squatted down, brushed away the dust, revealing a few green bricks, he buckled the green bricks with his hand, a few bricks made different sounds, he knocked on several green bricks in order, it sounded like a song.

"Brush", a bluestone slab behind him moved away, and a black cave appeared.

Jianye didn't look at it, and jumped into the cave.

The bluestone slab closed again, and the surrounding machine was activated, throwing a large pile of earth and rocks over, just covering the bluestone slab.

Jianye fell into the pool, he stood up, the pool was not deep, he took a few steps to the shore, in front of him was a cave, he knew that under the ground, wipe a fire, then light a torch, strode forward.

He was all too familiar with this place, because this secret passage was designed and supervised by him himself.

Last night's scene came back to mind.

Jianye was painting the tomb *** Suddenly, a fox covered in flames rushed to the window, but the flames did not burn the house, Jianye was startled, and said, "What is it?" ”

The fire fox spoke: "The master told me to pass the word, Jianye, someone will kill you tomorrow night, you can hide!" ”

Jianye immediately remembered Zhuge Liang's long letter, but he was suspicious in his heart and said, "Who is your master?" ”

"You don't have to worry about this, just hide." After speaking, the fire fox scurried up, and when Jianye ran out of the house, there was still the shadow of the fire fox.

After running for a while, Jianye ran out of the end of the road, only to see that there was a bright space in front of him, and a huge square space appeared in front of him, with ever-bright lights on the four walls, and the walls, floors and ceilings of this space were distributed with regular cracks, as if they were put together by many rocks, and there were many holes in the ceiling, and thick steel bars poked out of the holes, which were connected by joint-like machinery in the middle, and I don't know what to do.

Jianye walked to the right corner of the room, took out a piece of jade from his neck, and inserted it into a hole in the wall, just right, the rock snorted, opened a door, Jianye walked through the door, inside was a small room, but full of strange equipment.

The whole room is full of all kinds of steel equipment, complicated to the extreme, Jianye carefully looked at it, nodded in satisfaction, in the middle of the room is a console-like seat, above the seat is a round copper plate, but it is the rotating copper plate of the Bagua Qimen Dunjia.

The ceiling is circular, showing three concentric circles, and when you look closely, it is three concentric circles that seem to be able to turn, and they are engraved with twenty-eight nakshatras.

Jianye sat on the seat, touched the three small copper rods stretched out from the deputy's hand, and found that there was nothing unusual, so he got off the seat, he pushed the copper rod in it, and the room suddenly shook, and then there was the sound of rocks rubbing, and after a while, the sound stopped, and the door of the small room opened.

Jianye walked out, but it was not a huge square space, in front of him was a living space, with a bathtub, piles of food, a couch and a desk.

Jianye was very satisfied, looked up and saw a lot of thick copper pipes hanging down from the ceiling, connected to the ceiling with springs, Jianye pulled down one, the end of the copper pipe bent over, Jianye put his face against the hole of the copper pipe, and there was a glass mirror inside, Jianye saw the scene of Zhen Ji and Cao Rong talking together.

He pulled down another copper pipe and looked closer, this time he saw the whole Yecheng, which seemed so lonely in the dark, obviously this perspective was seen from the top of the Tongque Terrace, so the whole Yecheng became smaller.

He pulled down another copper pipe, this time it was his own home, and suddenly there was a fire, he turned the copper pipe, and found that two people were floating above the house.

One was a thin old man with a hat, and the other was a handsome man nine feet tall.

Could it be that these two people are here to kill me?

The two were talking, and after a while, the house was burned to ashes, and the two fell, and a corpse was turned out from the couch - Jianye's corpse!

Jianye was shocked, and hurriedly flicked the knob next to the copper pipe a few times, and the image was enlarged, but he didn't expect this fake corpse to be so realistic, and the painful expression after burning was the same as himself.

The two of them said something, and then began to rummage through the cabinets, as if looking for something.

However, all the design drawings have long been transferred here, and there, there is not a single design drawing.

Could it be that the old man wearing a hat is the Zuo Ci that Zhuge Liang said? Who is the other person?

Then, the purpose of their trip is to destroy Tongquetai.

Zhuge Liang is like a god, everything is under his control!

Thinking of this, Jianye was relieved, he was already "dead", even if Zuo Ci couldn't find the design drawings of Tongquetai, it shouldn't matter, because Jianye was dead, and no one knew the secret of Tongquetai.

Jianye pushed away the copper pipe, pacing left and right and thinking, Zhuge Liang also talked about "waiting" in his long letter, what is he going to do with Tongquetai? Such a huge bronze bird platform was originally used to ...... But now, has Zhuge Liang changed his plan? How is he going to move the Bronze Bird Terrace?

He pulled down the brass pipe again and looked, Zuo Ci and the other person were long gone, the fire had attracted officers and soldiers, and the death of his Jianye had already spread.

Jianye sneered, his mood calmed down, he walked to the couch, and simply sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes.

It seems that the matter of the Asura King is going to alarm the whole world.

Will this bronze bird platform become Zhuge Liang's last secret weapon to start a war with Asura?

Jianye vaguely thought of this layer, smiled slightly, extinguished the delusion, and slowly settled down.
