Chapter 15: The Twenty-Eight Nakshatras
Zhao Yi saw Gan Ning, who came with someone to patrol the night and heard the sound, pointed to the corpse on the ground and said: "It's nothing, it's a robber in this mansion, the third lady and General Ling Tong have killed the thief in order to protect me, and now it's fine." ”
Seeing that the thief was dead and Sun Shangxiang was here again, Gan Ning waved his hand to let all the soldiers retreat, patrolling the surroundings and guarding them, while he turned around and closed the gate again.
Gan Ning glanced at Sun Shangxiang, glared at Ling Tongyi again, and then said: "Zhuge Junshi, I'm really sorry, it's my dereliction of duty to enter the mansion and the thieves, I frightened you, don't worry, my people and I will always stay outside the door tonight, you can rest in peace, Third Miss, I will send someone to escort you back." ”
Sun Shangxiang knew that she couldn't cover up the fact that she had sneaked to the mansion tonight, and when she left, she glanced at Zhao Yi viciously, but when she swept to the corpse on the ground, there was a fear on her face that she had never seen before.
Yes, when Zhao Yi killed Li Hong with drastic means, it did cause some visual shock and shock to her.
Sun Shangxiang, who has been pampered since she was a child and was held in the palm of her hands by her father and two brothers, has not never seen a dead person, but it is the first time she has seen such a close and bloody scene, so much so that when she saw Gan Ning come in, she forgot to defend herself.
As for Ling Tong, he already had a grudge against Gan Ning, and tonight's incident was too strange, his mind was a mess, and he hadn't sorted it out yet, so he could only accompany Sun Shangxiang back first.
After Gan Ning's people cleaned up the yard, Zhao Yi returned to the house, but he did not go back to his own house, but into Zhuge Liang's house.
Obviously, the fight between several people also alarmed the sleeping Zhuge military division, seeing Zhao Yi coming in, Zhuge Liang struggled sideways, and asked softly: "Military division, what happened outside just now?" ”
Although there were only the two of them at the moment, the outside of the house was full of soldiers from Eastern Wu, and Zhuge Liang still called Zhao Yi a military advisor.
Zhao Yi looked left and right, approached the bed, and leaned down.
"There was an assassin just outside, the other two are the third lady of the Sun family and Ling Tong, the assassin has been killed by me, it seems that we met a group of people on the river, and there is still one hidden on the roof, but unfortunately he ran away."
"What? A group of people? Was it sent by Cao Cao to sabotage our two alliances? ”
Zhao Yi's expression was a little strange, and he sighed: "I thought so at first, but now I can be 100% sure that the goal of this group of people is not you, nor to destroy our two alliances, but to rush at me, and the person they want to kill is me." ”
"What? It's you? This...... Could it be the enemy of the Changshan Zhao clan? ”
Zhuge Liang, as a son of the Langya Zhuge clan, also knew the grievances and hatred between some gate valve factions, but he couldn't figure it out, how could the enemies of the Changshan Zhao clan chase down Jiangdong to assassinate Zhao Yi? What's the point of killing this teenage boy?
Zhao Yi shook his head and said: "No, I can also confirm that he is not the enemy of our family, sir, just now that person said a term that puzzled me, do you know what a cow golden bull is?" There is also a sacrifice to the star king. ”
Zhuge Liang frowned, and his already pale face became even more bloodless.
His abnormality made Zhao Yi keenly catch something, and hurriedly asked, "Sir, have you heard of it?" Do you know who it is? ”
Zhuge Liang gasped for breath twice and coughed a few more times before calming down.
"Bull Taurus...... It is one of the twenty-eight constellations, one of the seven constellations of Xuanwu in the north, also called the Northern Niu Niu Xingjun, the Niu Su Tianji Xingjun, and the sacrificial Xingjun, this Xingjun is surnamed Li Minghong, showing the shape of a bull's horn in the sky, implying love but not being able to stay together, it is a fierce star. ”
"Wait, what did the gentleman say? Surname Li Minghong? How do you know his name? That guy was called Li Hong just now! ”
Zhuge Liang exhaled again and said: "Yes, the real name of the Worship Zun Xingjun is Li Hong, this person should have used the name of the stars to apply it to himself, I seem to have guessed it...... I wish it wasn't ...... them."
The more Zhao Yi listened, the more puzzled he became, and asked, "Sir, what the hell is it?" Why do I get more confused the more I listen? ”
Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "I don't know much about the specific situation, I heard my teacher say before that the twenty-eight constellations are all over the continent, and they are the agents sent by God to the world, and they will correct when the wheel of history goes astray, so that everything will follow the way of heaven and develop downward according to the established route." ”
When Zhao Yi heard Zhuge Liang's explanation, he suddenly seemed to understand something, and patted his head.
"Yes, yes, that guy said that I am a variable in the way of heaven, shit, I won't encounter any cult organization, right?"
Zhuge Liang shook his head again and said: "These twenty-eight constellations are very mysterious, I have only heard one or two sentences from the teacher's mouth, and I have not seen it at all. ”
After getting Zhuge Liang's explanation, Zhao Yi's heart also roughly had the bottom, although this organization seems to be quite mysterious, and even the military division knows a little about it, but at least it can be determined that the other party is not the wrong person, and the other party seems to have noticed that his appearance has affected the trend of the overall situation in the world, so he must be eliminated.
"...... Who do these people think they are? Is it a fairy who turns his hands into clouds and covers his hands into rain? If you dare to provoke Lao Tzu to knock on your door, you will serve your twenty-eight constellations! It's really unlucky, I was targeted by a cult organization when I first came, how can I reason with this? ”
Zhao Yi scolded and went back to his room to lie on the bed, and after lying down for a while, he felt uneasy, entered the warehouse and found a body armor that was anti-knife cutting and fire-proofing, and put it inside, holding a gun and knife in his hand, so he slept with peace of mind.
He slept peacefully, but Sun Quan's Sun family's mansion was brightly lit all night.
Just kidding, the envoy sent by Liu Bei to talk about cooperation was targeted and assassinated as soon as he arrived, this is in his Jiangdong territory, and it is Chaisang, how can Sun Quan sleep when such a thing happens?
"Shame, this is my Jiangdong's shame! Someone has already assassinated our future ally right under our noses, and I just wanted to ask, when did my Chaisang's patrol defense become relaxed enough for people to come and go at will? ”
Sun Quan was very angry and lost his temper at his generals for the first time, while Sun Shangxiang was taken back to the backyard by his mother Wu Guotai to educate alone.
The Yiying Dongwu military generals who were in Chaisang stood in a row in front of Sun Quan, their heads bowed one by one, and their faces were ashamed.
Indeed, Zhuge Liang's identity is more sensitive, although he has not yet said what he is going to do, but everyone knows in their hearts that he was assassinated in the official residence on the first day, which means that the killer did not succeed, and if he succeeds, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Lord, this is all the negligence of my subordinates, I have ordered the patrol force to increase patrols and build three layers of protection around the official residence, not to mention people, even a fly does not want to fly in!"
Gan Ning was the first to clench his fist and report the results of his treatment.
At this time, Lu Su took two steps forward, lowered his voice and said: "Judging from this incident, the killer is likely to be sent by Cao Cao, as the so-called only a thousand days to be a thief, there is no thousand days to prevent thieves, then Zhuge Kongming lives in the official residence for a day We can't feel at ease, and his subordinates suggest that he simply be brought into the mansion to take care of him nearby." ”
Lu Su was also shocked into a cold sweat after getting the news of Zhuge Liang's assassination, because he had only experienced the assassination on the river, but he didn't expect the killer to dare to chase after Chaisang, and he was not too bold.
Sun Quan took two breaths and forced himself to calm down.
"Zijing, you do this for me, take that Zhuge Kongming, you are right, living closer is both convenient for protection and communication, won't I set up a banquet to entertain him tomorrow? When I came, I didn't need to go back to the residence, and I asked people to clean up a room in the courtyard. ”
After Sun Quan finished speaking, he glanced at the generals under him, and sighed: "Alas, I didn't mean to lose my temper with you, but now I am at a very critical moment, I hope you can realize the seriousness of this matter, okay, go down, Chaisang's defense inspection will be handled by Xingba." ”
"Yes, my lord!"
