Chapter 16: Righteous House in Distress (Free of charge)

"It seems that Cao Mengde is going to attack Dongchuan." I say.

"Not bad," Zhuge Qiao said eloquently, "some time ago. Sun Quan forced the Eastern Wu, and the two generals went to the meeting alone, which caused the Sun and Liu families to be discordant, if it were not for Cao Cao's preparation to attack Wu, I am afraid that the two families would have fought at this time. And Cao Cao has lost the opportunity to attack Sun and Liu's two families because of the killing of the country's abbot, if the south attack at this time, one is that Sun Quan has been prepared, and the other will cause Sun and Liu to join forces. And with his personality, after quelling the civil strife, he will establish his prestige with external strength, Sun Liu can't attack, and attacking Zhang Lu is the best choice. ”

I know history, and Zhuge Qiao completely analyzes it by himself, listening to his words, I nodded again and again. From this point, I am indeed inferior to him - in fact, in many points, I am inferior to him, so I sometimes unconsciously obey his words - but his following words surprised me: "Let's show our identities and go to Zhang Lu!" ”

"Find Zhang Lu!" Zhao Zheng was immediately anxious, "Zhuge Qiao, what do you want to do?!" You want to trap the young master in danger! ”

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger! Do you remember the story that my husband told us? Ban Chao could do it in the Ten Thousand Horse Army back then, why can't we do it? What are we going to do? Isn't it to check Liu Shengzhi's details, you can't find it at the lower level, can't you find it at the upper level? Besides, even if we can't find out, we will find a way to win over Zhang Lu and resist Cao Cao together, as long as we make a contribution, the lord will look at the young master differently, and will not easily touch the position of the young master. ”

Zhao Zheng shook his head resolutely: "No matter what you say, I don't agree either!" The safety of the young master, even if he kills all of us, he can't bear this responsibility! ”

Zhuge Qiao said: "Don't worry, Zhang Lu will not hurt the young master." When he has the eldest prince in his hand, he can send the eldest prince back and announce it to the lord, how can he be malicious to the young master at this time? ”

Listening to the words of the two, I quickly thought in my heart, yes, since I came, I can't come in vain, and if I make great contributions here, Kong Ming people will have more reasons to support me. What's more, there is a sentence from Mr. Shuijing here. For a while, I was also dazzled by the vision depicted by Zhuge Qiao, and made up my mind: "Okay! Let's go find Zhang Lu! ”

Zhao Zheng was in a hurry, and he suddenly shouted: "Come on, tie up Zhuge Qiao, put the young master on the shelf, let's go back to Jingzhou!" ”

I forgot Zhao Zheng's identity, although he has always tolerated me, but as an adult and my captain of the guard, his prestige is actually higher than mine. At the sound of the order, several guards stepped forward to make a move,

I screamed: "Zhao Zheng! It's against you! ”

Zhao Zheng had a calm face: "Young master, even if you kill me when you return to Jingzhou, I can't let you go to see Zhang Lu now." ”

At this time, it was divided into two factions, Zhuge Qiao and Jiang Wei and I decided to stay and fight, and Zhao Zheng and others wanted to take me away, and there was a stalemate for a while.

Suddenly, not far away, a group of white-clothed ghost clans surrounded them. Zhao Zheng had to let go of his hands and feet and pretend to be casual. But the blood and dead bodies on the ground have long since revealed our identities. A black-clothed sacrificial wine looked at us and shouted, "Take it." ”

Zhao Zheng shouted: "Protect the young master!" "The sword was in front of me.

I hurriedly shouted, "Stop! He hugged his fist at the sacrificial wine and said: "The kid is Liu Chan, the son of Liu Yuanjun, the uncle of the Yicheng Pavilion of the Han Zuo General Yicheng Pavilion, and he has come to rescue Master Zhang for important things, and hopes that the sacrificial wine will be passed on." ”

The sacrificial wine shook his head: "I don't understand what you're saying!" A little ghost clan next to him stepped forward and whispered a few words in his ear, and he suddenly realized: "It turns out that you are Liu Adou, not in Jingzhou, what are you doing in Hanzhong?" ”

When Zhuge Qiao heard that his speech was rude, he stepped forward and said: "Hanzhong Zhang's master is famous all over the world, is he teaching you to treat guests like this?" ”

The sacrificial wine looked Zhuge Qiao up and down: "Who are you?" ”

"Zhuge Qiao, the son of Zhuge Kongming, the general of the Yizhou Military Division!"

The sacrificial wine took a breath and muttered, "Zhuge Liang's son is also here." Come and return the big sacrificial wine quickly. A few, although you say your identity, but there is no evidence, and the villain can't make the decision, only a few people are invited to rest in the righteous house, and all matters can only be decided after the big sacrificial wine is reported to the master. ”

I nodded, "That's it." Then the group went to a righteous house in Hanzhong under the protection of the ghost clan.

Although I was determined to do a big job, I was still nervous when I looked at the hideous faces of those people along the way, thinking about the unknown future.

This house is not luxurious, but it is very tall, and the main body is purchased and built of wood, which has a simple beauty. After sitting down, three or five strong ghost clans stood by the side, and the rest were scattered in the courtyard.

And so it was more than an hour, and during this time many sick people came here, and the sacrificial wine that brought us brought them some talisman water, and then asked them to go to the river to apologize. I saw a man with a cold, his face flushed, his eyes vain, and his steps staggering. The sacrificial wine sent him to the river. As Zhang Ji went on for a long time, I could see at a glance that this was a minor illness, and a few flavors of medicinal herbs could be cured by sweating, but if he ran back and forth like this, it was likely that his life would be in danger.

I almost rushed out. But Zhuge Qiao stopped me. He shook his head at me, signaling that I should not act rashly.

But it's a human life, I insist.

But between a person and a country, you have to choose, and now, if you do this, you are tantamount to being an enemy of Hanzhong!

Zhuge Qiao and I faced each other silently, and finally I let out a long sigh. The choice is so difficult, but I have no choice, if I really have to go out, Zhang Lu will be furious when he learns about it, then all my hard work will be in vain.

Time passed quickly, and just when I was a little impatient, suddenly there was the sound of horses' hooves outside, and then there was a great chaos. Zhao Zheng got up quickly, the bright sword stood in front of the door, and several guards were also waiting with their weapons.

One of the ghost clans laughed: "In our righteous house, why should you be so shocked. As he spoke, he walked out, and was met by a feathered arrow that pinned the second half of his sentence to his throat.

Someone shouted, "Where are those people?" ”

"Meet the enemy!" Zhao Zheng shouted. Several guards were already guarding the doors and windows, Jiang Wei grabbed me, rolled to the corner, and arrows rained down.

Zhao Zheng shouted and lifted the huge square table in the room and threw it out, and the people rushed outside with the square table, and the sound of blade collision and screams came one after another.

Zhuge Qiao's face was like earth at this time, and he was huddled with me. I can't see where I can see it. But Wang Rui was weird, he went up to the roof beam like a monkey, looked out, and said: "There are about twenty or thirty people, General Zhao is working with them, and they are trapped!" However, the archers were dealt with by General Zhao. Not good, General Zhao is injured! ”

"Go out and save him!" I shouted.

"We want to protect the young master!" Guardway.

"He's dead, and none of us can live!" I shouted.

The three guards looked at each other and pounced. They had just gone out when the back window was slammed open, and a bright long knife slashed at me.

I was so frightened that I couldn't turn my mind around, and all the sounds were far away from me. But the knife stopped before my eyes, and in the silence there was a sudden sound of dripping water--no, it was blood!

Blood trickled down the man's body and dripped onto the floor. Jiang Wei's long body had already pierced his heart, and the long sword was drawn, blood splattered, and I was also sprayed in the face.

The corpse slowly collapsed before my eyes, and I couldn't move.

"Young master!" Zhuge Qiao pulled me suddenly, I took two steps back, sat on the ground, and another person pounced, Jiang Wei's long sword slashed obliquely, but was set up by that person.

Zhuge Qiao drew his long sword and stepped forward to attack. The later person was extremely powerful, and he hit Zhuge Qiao with one shoulder, knocking him out seven or eight steps with a sword, and fell to the ground, unable to get up.

A large piece of wood carving was suddenly thrown on the beam, right on the top of the person's head, the man looked up in shock, and suddenly froze, a broken sword tip had emerged from his chest, but it was Jiang Wei's back sword, stabbing him to death.

Jiang Wei raised his head and stretched out his big finger to Wang Rui on the beam.

Wang Rui's face was pale.

"Outside! A large group of people are here! ”
