A thin curtain of rain covered the entire Yinglou County.

Standing under the eaves, Liu Mo looked at the rain curtain in front of him.

The raindrops kept falling on the ground, splashing countless splashes, and the splashes bloomed in front of him, Liu Mo was on crutches, quietly looking at the scenery, his heart was just a little sad, the rain curtain was suddenly torn open, and a person came out of it, Gan Ning ran to Liu Mo's side, stretched out his hand, wiped the raindrops from his eyes, and said: "I'm back...."

The two walked into the study and sat facing each other.

"What did Captain Zhang say? You didn't provoke him, did you? ”

"Gong Liu, for no reason, what did I provoke him to do..."Gan Ning continued: "He said that most of the soldiers are not from Orion and are not good at hunting, but he will organize Orion and let the soldiers follow and eliminate as much as possible, by the way, he also asked you if he can dispose of the bones of the beast by himself?" ”

"Well... As long as he is willing to help, let him do the rest. ”

Liu Mo said, frowning, silent for a long time, before he said: "Xingba, I have something to do, I have to go back to Luoyang..."

When Gan Ning heard this, he was overjoyed, clapped his hands, and said, "Okay, I've always wanted to go to Luoyang to have a look, but unfortunately, there is no test... I can't get over it either... When do we depart? How many people are needed? ”

"Xingba..."Liu Mo shook his head and said, "I can't take you with me this time to Luoyang... Captain Zhang, I still need you to help, I know, you have a great archery skill, this time, Captain Zhang is going to make a large-scale dispatch to eliminate the hurting beasts in Jiaozhou, this is a good time for you to get merit! ”

"This.... I wish for fame, but the road is far away, and I can't let Liu Gong go alone... In case of danger, how can Liu Gong protect himself? ”

"It's okay, I'll find two people to set off with me, you follow Captain Zhang, you will definitely make more meritorious deeds... Captain Zhang has the qualifications of a general, and in the future, he will not be able to enter the court as a captain, at least he can be among the generals... Xingba, I know that you are unstoppable and courageous, but you have a perverse temperament and cannot tolerate it... Your character will surely make you suffer. ”

"This time you have to be humble, don't be complacent... A brave man can only be a general, but a calm and humble man can be handsome, you have to remember..."

Gan Ning suddenly felt a little strange in his heart, there was an indescribable feeling, he frowned, looked at Liu Mo, got up, and bowed: "Teachable!" ”

Liu Mo smiled, waved his hand to sit down, Liu Mo said: "In this action, you will definitely make more meritorious deeds, and when I come back, if you don't even have a military horse, then don't follow me anymore, just be your thief!" ”

"Hahaha, Liu Gong doesn't know, in fact, it's much more comfortable to be a thief than to be an errand, at least no one dared to point at my nose and reprimand me at that time."

"Then I'll notify Taishou and let him send another wanted notice?"

"No, no."

Liu Mo smiled, pointed to the case on the side, and said to Gan Ning: "Xingba, I have arranged all the affairs of Jiaozhou, but after I left, if they had any doubts, they handed over the book to Jiaozhi Taishou Gu Yong, he is a capable person, this is all my orders, they can do things according to this document...", Gan Ning nodded, and said with a smile: "My subordinates know!" ”

In the fourteenth year of Xiping, in February, Liu Mo left Luoyang in the name of meeting the Son of Heaven.

Of course, Gan Ning was not at ease to let him leave alone, and arranged two good personal guards, got into the car, and the carriage slowly left Yinglou County, Gan Ning wanted to come to see him off, but Liu Mo didn't allow it, so he rushed directly to the lieutenant to listen to the dispatch, and the people in Yinglou County knew who this carriage belonged to, and when they saw the carriage, they knelt down on both sides of the road and sent off the assassin.

.......

14th year of Xiping, May

"Where did you go again last night? Yes? I just came back when I was a child, and I became a captain of the horses, you are amazing?! ”

In the bedroom, Princess Rao Yang stuck her waist and scolded loudly.

Zhuge Liang sat on the case not far away, a little helpless, he defended: "Yesterday, I was in the Yuan Mansion, discussing scriptures with His Royal Highness, and before I knew it, I stayed in the evening, and talked with candles and nights..."

"Candle talk? Can there be a warbler to serve? ”

"Hehe, Madam said with a smile, Your Highness, how can there be...."

"There are no mastiffs, where are they?"

"Nowhere else..."

Zhuge Liang lowered his head aggrievedly, Princess Raoyang gritted her silver teeth, squinted her eyes, and looked him up and down, Zhuge Liang's heart was cold, why is this look so much like today!

"Head of the house!"

The slave shouted cautiously outside the door, Zhuge Liang turned his head and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"His Royal Highness the eldest son of the emperor asks to see you."

Zhuge Liang breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Princess Raoyang, smiled, and said: "Madam, look, His Royal Highness is here in person, just ask him, he won't lie..."

Princess Raoyang stepped forward and opened the door, turned her head, stared at Zhuge Liang again, and said, "You are still asleep, you haven't woken up, you know?" ”

"Yes, yes."

Princess Raoyang nodded, then walked out and walked into the front yard, Liu Mastiff and Sima Yi were waiting, seeing her aunt coming, Liu Mastiff hurriedly bowed and said, "Meet your aunt!" And Sima Yi woke up and hurriedly bowed: "Meet the eldest princess." ”

"Mastiff... Quick, get up, get up, let my aunt see, hey, you're getting more and more handsome, how about it, is there any little girl in any family who has taken a fancy to you?? Princess Raoyang asked with a smile, Liu Mastiff coughed, blushed, shook his head, and hurriedly asked, "Auntie, don't make fun of Mastiff anymore, Uncle is here?" I have something important to look for him..."

"Oh, your uncle is still sleeping, it seems, he went out to play last night, and he hasn't woken up yet."

"Auntie, my uncle and I were in the Yuan Mansion last night."

"Oh, I see... Mastiff, what are you looking for him? ”

"This morning, two people came to me, saying that they were looking for my uncle, but they couldn't find my uncle's house, so they had to come to me... It is said that they came with the orders of Duke Liu...."Liu Mastiff said, Princess Raoyang nodded, turned back and shouted into the house: "Husband!!" Husband!!! ”

Liu Mastiff and Sima Yi were both startled by her, only to see Zhuge Liang secretly poke his head out of the door, and when he saw Liu Mastiff and Sima Yi in the courtyard, he quickly retracted his head, walked out majestically, and asked calmly: "Madam, what's the matter?" I slept soundly, and I was disturbed by you, in the future, don't do it again! Unorthodox!! ”

"Respectfully!" Princess Rao Yang lowered her body and said.

"Ahem, Your Highness, what's wrong?"

"Uncle, two people came to look for you according to Liu Gong's orders..."Liu Mastiff whispered.

"Where are they?"

"Outside the door."

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he hurriedly went out to greet them, and brought the two back to the house, Princess Raoyang went back to the backyard, and the two walked into the front yard. ”

"Exactly."

"This is what Gong Liu wants us to give to you."

The two took out a letter and handed it to Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang took the letter, looked at them, and asked, "Why did Shijun ask you to deliver the letter?" ”

"Liu Gong said before that he wanted to come to Luoyang, and I waited for the guards, but after Yuzhou, Liu Gong said that there were still some things to do, so let us come to Luoyang first, hand over the letter to you, and say that we would arrive later..."

Zhuge Liang nodded, and arranged for them to eat and rest, holding the letter, he was vaguely uneasy in his heart, Liu Mastiff and Sima Yi said goodbye after they finished talking, and Zhuge Liang sent them away.

Back in the study, Zhuge Liang opened the letter.

"Zi Kong Ming personally opened."

"Your wedding, I was not able to participate, let alone give a gift, thinking of this, I deeply regret, helpless sigh..... I heard that Your Majesty worships you as the captain, and Zhang Tianzi drives, I am very happy, so I don't have to worry about it..."

"Coming to Jiaozhou, more than five years, forgetting to sleep and eating, working hard day and night, with dull funds, finally governing a state, there is a small success, living up to the Son of Heaven, so there is no worries....."

"At present, for the sake of the people of Ningzhou, I can't take revenge, hatred is hidden in my heart, however, in the past five years, I am really grief-stricken, no matter day or night, there are often the spirits of relatives, accusations and asking, I can't sleep at night, I can't be at peace during the day, I can't express it...."

"Now, Jiaozhou is under great governance, there is no need to worry, Ningzhou is peaceful, there is no need to forbear... The enmity of the family, if you can't hold it, there is no doubt with the beast, this kind of suffering, I can't bear it anymore, this time I go to Ningzhou, I am willing to sword the thief, in order to avenge the blood and the sea of revenge! ”

"Kong Ming I am a disciple, Kong Ming is my son, I have been a Lingding since I was a child, exiled in the mountains and forests, not talented and in a high position, everyone thinks I am despicable, and I am not a deep friendship, in the sun, within the four seas, only you are not tired, take me as a teacher, take me as a friend.... I, a widow, will no longer be alone without relatives in the world..."

"I thought that I would wait a few more days, wait for Jiaozhou to be fully revitalized, and wait for Ningzhou to be completely peaceful, but my body is becoming more and more unwell, and I feel the destiny of heaven, and I can't delay it any longer.... The sin of not telling it, I hope Kong Ming will forgive it. ”

"There is something that will be delivered soon, and I think it is a wedding gift."

Zhuge Liang's hand holding the letter trembled violently, he took a deep breath, and held the case in front of him with one hand, this letter was written a few months ago, so, now, is Shijun already in Ningzhou? Revenge has already begun? No, no, Zhuge Liang hurriedly ran out, walked to the door, tripped over the threshold, and fell to the ground.

"Husband!" Princess Raoyang screamed, rushed up, hurriedly hugged Zhuge Liang, and struggled to help him up, she looked at Zhuge Liang's face, and asked eagerly: "Husband?" Husband, what's wrong with you? Husband? Don't scare me, what's wrong with you? ”

She had never seen Zhuge Liang like this, Zhuge Liang's face was extremely pale, sweat drops were constantly rolling down his forehead, he was trembling all over, he opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak, tears the size of beans fell from his eyes, seeing Zhuge Liang's appearance, Princess Raoyang cried anxiously, and hurriedly called the servants to come and let them call the doctor.

"I'm going to see the Son of Heaven... I'm going to see Your Majesty..."

Zhuge Liang struggled, broke free from Princess Raoyang's arms, and staggered towards the outside of the house, and the servants hurriedly followed and helped him.

"Prepare the carriage!!"

The servants immediately prepared the carriage, Princess Raoyang and Zhuge Liang sat in, Princess Raoyang cried and said, "Let's go to see the doctor first, okay, let's go to see the doctor first..."

"No, I want to see the Son of Heaven, I want to see the Son of Heaven..."

Princess Raoyang rushed all the way to the palace with Zhuge Liang, and when she arrived at the gate of the palace, the guards were just about to stop her, and Princess Raoyang popped up and roared: "Who dares to stop me!! Seeing Princess Raoyang, the guards also panicked, and they didn't dare to stop her, so they let her enter the palace, and helped Zhuge Liang, Princess Raoyang was sweating profusely and walked towards the Houde Palace.

Hanmen soon arrived, and when he saw Zhuge Liang's appearance, he hurriedly asked Xiaohuangmen to support him, but was pushed away by Princess Raoyang.

Before arriving at the Houde Palace, Princess Raoyang saw the Son of Heaven, only to see that the Son of Heaven was angry, holding a sword, and rushed over with a group of yellow gates, and saw Zhuge Liang supported by Princess Raoyang, the Son of Heaven was not angry, put away the sword, and just now, he heard that Princess Raoyang was crying and broke into the palace, and thought that Zhuge Liang was bullying her, so he pulled out his sword and rushed out.

"What's going on?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, my master is in Ningzhou, give Ningzhou an order, save my master, don't let him be stupid... Save him! Seeing the Son of Heaven, Zhuge Liang suddenly shouted, he knew Shijun's character, if Shijun stabbed the enemy, he would definitely not continue to live, he would definitely end his life, and let the officials of Ningzhou stop him while he hadn't made a move!

The Son of Heaven knew the general situation of the matter, frowned, and hurriedly ordered to go down, and go to inform Ningzhou Assassin Shi Cheng Yu as soon as possible, find Jiaozhou Assassin Shi Liu Mo, protect it closely, and send it to Luoyang!

In addition, Liu Mo's enemies were also captured!!

Zhuge Liang hurriedly thanked the Son of Heaven again, and then stood up, his face gradually softened.

Master, I beg you... Don't let anything happen... Don't let anything happen....
