The fire burned for half the night and was finally extinguished.

Several men in black came to the house that had been burned to soot and rummaged through it carefully.

After searching the house, the man in black who took the lead asked, "Have you found it?" ”

The other men in black shook their heads.

Zhuge Liang's body was not found, and the black-clothed man who took the lead suddenly had a bad face.

He instructed the others, "Search again!" ”

A few men in black answered, continuing to rummage through the charred ruins.

The man in black who took the lead said to the two of them, "You two go to that house and see what the people inside are doing." ”

The two men in black nodded and turned to leave.

"Captain, look." After a while, a man in black who was searching through the ruins shouted.

The man in black who took the lead hurriedly ran over.

What appeared in front of his eyes was a large black hole.

"Authentically?" The man in black who took the lead was stunned and said, "Zhuge Liang should have run away from here, chase me!" ”

Everyone jumped down the tunnel and quickly moved along the dark passage.

After walking for a while, they saw a hole in front of them.

Drilling out of the tunnel, the men in black were all stunned.

The exit is not very far from Zhuge Liang's home, but Zhuge Liang's trace has long been unknown.

"He really let him run!" The black-clothed man who took the lead slapped his palms in annoyance, his brows tightly locked.

The other black-clothed men also had very bad faces.

One of them asked, "What to do?" How do you explain to your son when you go back? ”

Glancing at him, the man in black who took the lead said: "Leave people here, continue to explore Zhuge Liang's whereabouts, and kill him as soon as he finds it." ”

Looking at Zhuge Jun's residence, he continued: "It's not like there's no hope now......

As soon as he finished speaking, the two black-clothed men who went to Zhuge Jun's house ran back.

"Captain, the owner of the house is sleeping, and he shouldn't have noticed the fire outside." One of the men in black said.

"Sleep?" The black-clothed man who took the lead frowned and said, "The little boy of Zhuge Liang's family is arguing like that, he can still sleep?" ”

"It's not too close, and it's not inaudible." A man in black said: "What's more, some people just don't want to do much, and they don't bother to take a look when they know that something is going on in other people's homes." ”

Glancing at the man in black who spoke, the man in black who took the lead said, "That being said, you can't take it too lightly. Leaving two people here, be sure to always pay attention to whether Zhuge Liang shows up. ”

The two men in black stayed behind.

The rest of the men in black left under the leadership of the leader.

A few days later, Cao Shuo's residence was far away in Shouchun.

In the study, Cao Shuo, who was roasting the fire, waved his hand after listening to the fire dance report, and said lightly: "You should step back first." ”

The fire dance of the news retreated.

The corners of Cao Shuo's mouth hooked up a light smile, and asked Pang Tong on the side: "Shiyuan, where do you think Zhuge Liang will flee to?" ”

"It's in Nanyang, and I haven't gone far." Pang Tong said: "Liu Bei knows where he lives, he has long been willing to serve, how can he abandon Liu Bei and go away?" ”

"I also don't think he's going to go far." Cao Shuo said: "Maybe he is in the house not far away." ”

"Do you want to ......," Pang Tong asked tentatively.

"Shi Yuan and I will tell you the truth." Cao Shuo didn't answer, but suddenly asked, "Did you never think about killing Zhuge Liang from beginning to end?" ”

Pang Tong was stunned for a moment when asked, then lowered his head and said, "Childe can see it......"

"You also know that Liu Bei is more dangerous than anyone else, and once Zhuge Liang is recruited by him, we will definitely be in trouble in the future." Cao Shuo asked, "Why don't you kill him?" ”

"I want him to live." Pang Tong said: "Although Liu Xuande will cause a lot of trouble to the world, as long as the son controls it properly, he can't make big waves." Zhuge Kong clearly has some ability, but his ability to strategize and fight on the battlefield is also average. What he is best at is to clean up housekeeping, and if Liu Xuande has a place to stay, I will definitely value him. But Liu Xuande has nothing, and his most important thing now is to seize Jingzhou, so as to plot elsewhere. The Yuan family in Hebei is still there, and indeed the sunset in Xishan is no longer comparable to the past. If Liu Xuande didn't have Zhuge Kongming, he would probably not have survived for two years in Jingzhou. If he dies, Jingzhou Liu Biao will sit big, and it will not be good for the son. ”

Looking at Pang Tong, Cao Shuo grinned, shook his head and said, "I'm really not worried about Liu Jingsheng in Jingzhou, the most reassuring thing for me is Liu Xuande......

"Don't worry, Childe." Pang Tong said: "In less than ten years, Jingzhou and Jiangdong must belong to the Cao family, Liu Xuande will be a ghost under the knife of the son sooner or later, where do you need to look at him?" ”

"If Zhuge Kongming and Shi Yuan are against each other, which of you is stronger?" Cao Shuo asked.

"I'm not as good as him in internal affairs, and he's not as good as me in arranging troops." Pang Tong said: "I won't kill him this time, but also to keep a talent for Gongzi." After all, in the future, if you win the world, you will need someone to take care of internal affairs. ”

"Speaking of which, it's just to keep a talent for me." Cao Shuo shook his head and said, "Shiyuan may not really understand what I mean, in fact, I still want Liu Xuande to die." ”

"Don't worry, Childe, in a few years, he will definitely die." Pang Tong said: "The most important thing for Gongzi now is the north. ”

"North?" Cao Shuo said: "Yuan Hao once told me that he wanted me to take Qingzhou and Liaodong again, but because it was not yet time, I didn't discuss it with you, I don't know what Shiyuan thinks?" ”

"I have the same opinion as Tian Yuanhao." Pang Tong replied: "If Cao Gong seized Hebei, if Qingzhou and Liaodong are still in chaos, they will inevitably move to Yecheng." Once Cao Gong entered Yecheng, it would be difficult for Gongzi to get benefits in the east. ”

"According to Shiyuan, I should have taken Qingzhou and Liaodong first?" Cao Shuo said: "Qingzhou is Zang Ba and others competing with Yuan Tan. ”

"Zang Ba and the others are also deployed by the Cao family." Pang Tong said: "Gongzi wants Qingzhou, let them go." ”

"I'm afraid it's not so easy to drive them away." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "Others have finally gained a firm foothold, we have to let them go, and whoever we put on them will not be so easy to get along with." ”

"When things come to an end, there is always a way to solve them." Pang Tong smiled confidently.

Although Pang Tong gave an explanation, Cao Shuo was still a little resentful of not being able to kill Zhuge Liang.

He said to Pang Tong: "If Liu Xuande sends troops to Xuzhou and other places, does Shiyuan have the confidence to repel him?" ”

"It's easy." Pang Tong clenched his fists and said: "If Liu Xuande sends troops to attack Gongzi, I am willing to lead the troops to meet the battle, if I can't repel the enemy army with very small losses, I am willing to pay tribute to the death penalty!" ”

"There is no need for a capital crime, Shi Yuan is good to have confidence." Cao Shuo said: "It's just that I couldn't kill Zhuge Kongming, which is a bit of a pity." ”
