Chapter 146: The Man Who Hides in the Dark
Darkness began to spread from the west, gradually enveloping the entire canyon.
When night fell, the vast canyon battlefield finally fell into silence, the small soldiers of Wu and Shu and the two countries, all dragged their scarred bodies and began to return to the camp, if you stand on a high place with a bird's eye view, the army holding countless torches stretches to dozens of kilometers away, in the dark canyon, the three lines of soldiers are like lifelike fire dragons swaying back to the nest, it is very spectacular.
At this time, on the city wall on the edge of the highlands of Shu Kingdom, there was a young man in blue and white armor standing.
That was the victorious creator of the Wu-Shu War, Zhuge Liang, the commander of the three armies of Shu.
Looking back on the afternoon, when the heroes of Wu and Shu gathered on the road, there was no large-scale team battle.
Zhou Yu was very worried about the Japanese in Fusang, who were far away, and took the opportunity to launch an attack on Wu.
What's more, the heroes of Shu have returned, and even if the war continues, Wu has no chance of winning.
So in the evening, the state of Wu, which was on the side of the invaders, withdrew its troops.
Under the leadership of Zhuge Liang, Shu won this offensive and defensive battle.
Having said that, Zhuge Liang's brows were still frowning, this genius of heaven, a strategist with excellent wisdom and vision, seemed to have encountered an unsolvable problem.
"Sir seems to be in some distress?"
A calm voice suddenly came from behind Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang turned around and found that the person who came was actually Liu Bei.
"Your Majesty." Zhuge Liang nodded slightly, expressing his respect.
The grace and friendship with Liu Bei gave Zhuge Liang a privilege, that is, he did not have to kneel and bow when facing the king.
"Thanks to the blessing of Mr., our Shu Kingdom can still win under the condition that its strength is so unprecedentedly weak, and the talent of Mr. is shaking the past and the present." Liu Bei said with a smile, his eyes full of gratitude.
Zhuge Liang didn't speak, but turned his head and continued to look at the canyon at night.
Liu Bei didn't mind, and continued: "It's a shame to say, when Wu just invaded, even I felt that this time Shu was in a catastrophe, after all, my second brother and I couldn't fight, and it was really impossible to rely on Mr. and my third brother to fight against the four heroes of Wu State. But he never expected that Mr. had already expected that the Wu State would take the opportunity to attack, and sent two war messages in a row, causing the Wei State to move stupidly with those Japanese robbers, thus forcing the Wu State to withdraw in humiliation......"
"Tell me the truth, Your Majesty." Zhuge Liang, who had been silent, suddenly interrupted: "Actually, I didn't tell the information that Wu Guo poured out of the nest to those Japanese robbers in Fusang as I said to the outside world, I was just a lie used to deter and confuse Zhou Yu in desperation." ”
As soon as Zhuge Liang finished speaking, even Liu Bei was stunned.
"Although the world praises me as a peerless resource, I am not a god after all, and it is impossible for me to control everything perfectly, just like I expected the invasion of the Wu Kingdom, but I didn't expect that Zhou Yu would intercept my messenger halfway, this is my negligence, and Zhou Yu's talent is actually not worse than me." Zhuge Liang said, having said that, his face was still as calm as water.
"Mr. is modest, the so-called way of using soldiers, attacking the heart first, in such a passive situation at that time, Mr. was still able to grasp Zhou Yu's psychological weakness, that is, Zhou Yu's suspicious character, which made him have a serious misjudgment, believe it to be true, just this point, the world is far beyond it." Liu Bei smiled.
Zhuge Liang was silent for a moment before he said slowly: "Actually, I think there is another important reason that forced Zhou Yu to withdraw from the army. ”
"Oh?"
"In the afternoon, under the call of Da Qiao, only Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao were present in Wu Guo, as the most powerful output force of Wu Guo, Sun Shangxiang did not appear."
Zhuge Liang turned his head and looked at Liu Bei seriously: "In fact, this time the Shu Kingdom can win, Your Majesty is the biggest founder, and you make the Wushu Alliance a possibility." ”
Hearing this, Liu Bei's expression was stunned for a moment.
Zhuge Liang frowned slightly.
"Regarding the Wushu Alliance, we will talk about it later." Liu Bei suddenly asked with some meaning: "By the way, apart from this war, is there anything else that Mr. wants to tell me?" ”
"Nope." Zhuge Liang shook his head slightly, turned his back to Liu Bei, and continued to look at the canyon from afar.
"I've heard a lot of rumors lately." Liu Bei smiled gently, and the wide cloak draped on his body swayed and fluttered in the night wind.
"Rumors?"
"Yes, I heard that in the canyon, there is a very special creep, he is holding a strangely shaped weapon, and he seems to have done a lot of incredible things...... Has the sir heard of it? ”
"Nope." Zhuge Liang replied bluntly.
Liu Bei, on the other hand, sighed silently behind Zhuge Liang.
Bang!
In the cold night, a loud gunshot suddenly rang out, deafening like spring thunder.
'Liu Bei' held an ancient golden steel double-barreled heavy cannon in both hands, with a black muzzle, and at this time there was still gunpowder smoke with the smell of gunpowder, but in front of him, there was nothing.
Phew-
In a low sound of wind, the air trembled slightly, and with a faint blue light, Zhuge Liang appeared ten meters behind 'Liu Bei', a pair of strange turquoise eyes full of frost.
'Liu Bei' turned around, and his elegant expression in the past no longer existed, and was replaced by an evil smile: "The reason why you mentioned the Wushu Alliance was to deliberately test me?" ”
"Wu Shu Alliance, only four people know." Zhuge Liang was noncommittal.
"When I heard this word for the first time just now, I was really a little surprised, and I admired it, I didn't expect you to want Liu Bei to marry the enemy's Sun Shangxiang." 'Liu Bei' pestled the muzzle of the double-barreled heavy cannon on the ground, as if he wanted to use this heavy cannon to maintain the balance of his body.
Zhuge Liang didn't speak, his sharp eyes just kept scanning the 'Liu Bei' in front of him, as if he wanted to see through the 'person' in front of him completely.
Suddenly, with the light fan in his hand, Zhuge Liang saw that something seemed to flicker behind 'Liu Bei'.
Zhuge Liang narrowed his eyes slightly, and was stunned to find that it was one line, no, more than one, it was four lines!
Four almost transparent threads connect the limbs of 'Liu Bei', as if it is because of these very tough silk threads, 'Liu Bei' can 'stand' in front of him, there is a terrifying and penetrating sense of déjà vu.
"It's been a long time, you don't mind if I greet you in this way, do you?" In the low laughter like a ghost, Liu Bei's face actually began to 'dissolve' silently, like an oil painting that had been splashed with water, the paint kept draining, and finally revealed its true face.
That turned out to be a puppeteer!!
"Why are you here?!" For the first time, Zhuge Liang showed a complicated look full of shock and surprise, and when he said this, he said it to the darkness farther behind the puppeteer.
"Because the Master is disappointed in you."
The puppeteer's face has circles of tree rings, which look like a whirlpool, with an eerie gravitational pull that breaks the dementorship, and the 'mouth' shaped mechanism that represents the mouth keeps opening and closing in the sound of 'click, card, bar'.
"I'll start from the beginning, two months ago, Jixia received a report from the Wei State, which roughly said that he met a very special soldier in the canyon, wearing a strangely shaped silver bow, but for this matter, Jixia didn't pay much attention to it at that time."
With that, the puppeteer swung his wooden arm with a clear joint gap, making a 'click' sound that hit people's hearts.
"But what's interesting is that a month ago, Jixia received another report, and this report is still from Shu, the content of the two reports is roughly the same, Jixia finally paid attention to this matter, and got in touch with you as soon as possible, but you replied that there was nothing abnormal, I think you remember, right?"
The puppeteer's words had a thick and difficult mechanical accent, and with its words, Zhuge Liang's face gradually became gloomy.
"And just ten days ago, another report was sent to Jixia, which was sent by Zhou Yu." At this time, the puppeteer's voice carried a hint of banter, a hint of hostile coldness: "Do you want to hear the specific content?" ”
"What the hell are you here for?" Zhuge Liang stared at the darkness behind the puppeteer, shrouded in the shadow of the city tower.
"It seems that as one of the most powerful heroes of Shu, you don't seem to know anything about these things like Fu Jixia, completely ignorant of them?" The puppeteer spreads his hands very humanely, like a detective who exposes the murderer's criminal methods.
Then, it suddenly straightened its position.
"Master's meaning is to ask me to thoroughly investigate the authenticity of these three reports, you have disappointed his old man too much......"
After a pause, the puppeteer asked meaningfully.
"By the way, the master still wants me to ask you, is that Xiang Yu hidden here in Shu by you?"
......
......
When the time entered the early hour, the bright moon slowly rose from the horizon.
The silver light, sprinkled on the earth, fell on the city walls, and stretched its majestic shadow for a long time.
And under the shadow of this city wall, there seemed to be two figures blurbly overlapping.
"Good...... Okay......" With a seductive mutter, Luna limp pushed Wang Yao away.
The two lip flaps that lingered for a long time slowly parted.
"What's wrong?" Wang Yao asked a little depressedly, he was still intoxicated by the moist and fragrant softness.
"Let's ...... Other creeps saw it...... It's not good...... "Luna leaned her back against the wall, and only felt that her cheeks were hot and hot, as if she were going to kiss her until eternity, which made her enjoy it and feel breathless.
Wang Yao turned his head and looked at the endless path in the distance.
At this point, he and Luna were on the side of the wall next to the high ground, and on the path, small soldiers with torches kept entering the high ground.
"Is kissing illegal in the Legion?" Wang Yao suddenly turned his head and asked very seriously.
"I've never heard of such a rule." Luna sneered at Wang Yao's pretended seriousness.
"Then it's none of their business." Wang Yao smiled slyly, lowered his head and approached the girl's soft lips again.
"Let's go home first." Luna pressed against Wang Yao's chest, clear and beautiful, with an extremely charming smile on her flawless white jade face.
Go home?
Wang Yao was stunned for a moment, and after three seconds, his heart was hot, and he seemed to understand something.
"What bad things are you thinking?" Luna looked at Wang Yao's strange smile suddenly, couldn't help but puff out her cheeks, and glared at Wang Yao with disgust.
Well, one thing you can't deny is that women's words are always a little different from what men think.
"What bad things can I think of?" Wang Yao scratched his head a little weakly, and at the same time couldn't help but be depressed in his heart: Is it really that he wants to be crooked?
"I want to discuss something with you...... anyway, let's go home."
"I promised."
"Huh? Are you sure?! Luna, who had been a little distracted, jumped up, with a pair of beautiful watery eyes, even better than the bright moon in the night sky.
"Of course, what are you talking about? As long as it's your business, I'll say yes. Wang Yao smiled and rubbed Luna's little head.
"Great, I thought you wouldn't say yes! I'll go back and tell Uncle Hansheng right away! Luna laughed happily, like a child getting a present.
"Wait, wait......" Hearing the word 'Hansheng', the smile on Wang Yao's face suddenly froze, and an ominous premonition enveloped him: "Girl, you said you wanted to discuss with me, with that old ...... Is that old gentleman named Huang Zhong related? ”
"Yes, when I came back to Shu, Uncle Han Sheng kept arguing that he didn't worry about me, and he must move in with me, I really couldn't resist his old man. But it's okay, as long as you say yes! ”
