Liu Bei went to Nanyang and had a closed-door meal at Zhuge Liang's place, and it didn't take many days for the news to reach Shouchun.

The snow has stopped for days.

The snow melted, and only some remnants of snow still hung on the branches.

The snow season is unusually cold, and most people walking on the road will be frozen and their necks will be sucked back.

There was a brazier lit in the study.

The jumping flames brought some warmth to the room, but it still didn't dispel the cold at all.

Cao Shuo wore a thick brocade jacket and sat by the brazier to roast his hands.

Pang Tong sat on the sidelines, and like him, he put his hand on the brazier and baked.

"Huo Wu came with news from Jingzhou, saying that Liu Bei went to see Zhuge Kongming." Cao Shuo asked Pang Tong, "Did you do what I arranged earlier?" ”

"It's been arranged a long time ago." Pang Tong said: "As long as Zhuge Kongming serves Liu Bei, someone will soon attack him." ”

"You can't use it for me, it's better to kill it." Cao Shuo said: "If Liu Bei gets Zhuge Kongming, Jingzhou will fall into his hands sooner or later." It is not difficult for the Cao family to capture Jingzhou, but the difficult thing is that with Kong Ming here, can they successfully kill Liu Bei and end the disputes in the world earlier. ”

"With Kong Ming's personality, he would never agree to go out of the mountain so easily." Pang Tong said: "Childe still has time. ”

"Start as soon as possible, I don't want to have another strong opponent." Roasting his hands, Cao Shuo's gaze fell on the back of his hand, as if he said something casually.

"Don't worry, Childe, I'll arrange it." Pang Tong answered, stood up and exited the study.

When Pang Tong left, Cao Shuo was always bowing his head and roasting his hands.

Kill Zhuge Liang, he actually didn't want to.

But Zhuge Liang's ideas are in great conflict with his interests.

In order to get the whole world and kill one or two talents, Cao Shuo didn't feel particularly sorry.

After all, he is still different from Cao Cao.

Cao Cao's love is almost blind, Cao Shuo loves talent, and he only loves talents who can be used by him.

Cao Shuo arranged for Pang Tong to start.

At this time in Nanyang, Zhuge Liang didn't know that the danger was approaching him step by step.

Liu Bei came to the door for the second time, but he rejected again.

Zhuge Liang had an idea, if he didn't let Liu Bei come to the door four or five times, he would definitely not see him.

The more difficult it is to get, the more cherished it is for people like Liu Bei.

In the past, Liu Bei traveled all over the world, and there were many people who defected to him.

Every time he fled in embarrassment, those people would be abandoned by him, who could really get into his eyes?

The mistakes made by others, Zhuge Liang is not willing to make them again!

Sitting in the room, Zhuge Liang was flipping through a book, and there was a slight sound of footsteps outside.

Hearing the footsteps, he was stunned for a moment and hurriedly blew out the oil lamp.

The room that was originally full of light instantly went dark, and it was dark from the outside, and there was nothing to see at all.

Footsteps outside were getting closer and closer to the door.

When the footsteps stopped, the window was gently opened.

Immediately after, a fire lit up outside the window.

More than a dozen torches flew into the window and quickly lit the room to the softness.

The flames devoured everything they could, and the dark room was suddenly filled with red light.

Under the window, several dark shadows glanced at each other and quickly jumped out.

In a moment, their figures disappeared into the vast mountains.

Zhuge Liang's place of residence is very quiet, and the closest to here is Zhuge Jun's residence.

The house caught fire, and the boy ran out and shouted.

Zhuge Jun, who had already slept, faintly heard shouts in the distance, and hurriedly ran to the window.

When he saw the fire in Zhuge Liang's residence, he was taken aback and hurriedly ran out of the house.

was running towards Zhuge Liang's residence, and a person suddenly flashed on the side.

The person who flashed out hugged him.

Zhuge Jun was stunned for a moment, and was about to scream, when the man raised a finger at him and signaled him not to say anything.

It was only at this time that Zhuge Jun found out that it was Zhuge Liang who was holding him.

His face was covered with dust, and Zhuge Liang looked very embarrassed.

"Second brother......" Zhuge called.

Zhuge Liang covered his mouth, looked left and right vigilantly, and found that no one was following, so he whispered: "Don't say anything, go to your house first." ”

Knowing that something big had happened, Zhuge Jun hurriedly led Zhuge Liang back to his residence.

Entering the room, Zhuge Liang asked, "Do you have a cellar here?" ”

"Yes." Zhuge Jun asked, "Brother, what's wrong?" Why did the water suddenly run out of water at home? ”

"Someone set it on fire." Zhuge Liang said: "Obviously, someone wants to kill me. ”

"My brother has never been out of Nanyang in all these years, and he has never had a holiday with anyone, who will kill you?" Zhuge Jun obviously didn't believe this answer.

"I haven't had a holiday with anyone, but Liu Xuande does." Zhuge Liang said: "The people who came this time must not want me to follow Liu Xuande. ”

"If they knew that their brother was not dead, I am afraid there would be a lot of trouble in the future." Zhuge Jun asked, "How did my brother escape just now?" ”

"I've prepared a tunnel at home a long time ago, and although it's not very long, it's enough to escape." Zhuge Liang said: "When the fire is extinguished, they will not see the corpse and will search everywhere." You settle me in the cellar first, and then talk about it when Liu Xuande comes next time. ”

"Brother, please come with me." Zhuge Jun greeted and took Zhuge Liang to the cellar.

Opening the cellar, he said to Zhuge Liang: "These days are going to be hard brother. ”

"It's better than being killed." Zhuge Liang lowered his head and went into the cellar.

At the same time, several black-clothed people stood not far from Zhuge Liang's house, looking at the direction of the raging fire.

"Gongzi wants us to kill Zhuge Liang, and I don't know if this fire can burn him to death." A man in black whispered.

"If he hadn't prepared in advance, burning would have been inevitable." The man in black who took the lead said: "When the fire is extinguished, let's check again, and make sure that Zhuge Liang is dead." ”

Several men in black standing behind him answered.

Because Zhuge Liang lived far away from the market, the fire burned for a long time, and no one rushed to put out the fire.

Looking at the raging fire, a man in black ran from not far away.

When they got to this group of people, the man in black who ran over whispered, "The people in the house not far from here must be able to see the fire here, but they didn't come to put out the fire for some reason." ”

Before setting the fire, the group of men in black had already figured out the surrounding situation.

They knew that Zhuge Jun's residence was not far away, and they were ready, as long as Zhuge Jun was close, they would immediately solve him.

To kill someone, you must make up for all the mistakes that may occur.

Since someone may find out that Zhuge Liang's house has been burned, or they may see them, of course they will not leave them alive.

deliberately arranged for someone to keep an eye on the family, but the family did not come out to put out the fire, but these people in black did not know what to do.
