When Mrs. Cai went out to find the maid and prepared to take care of Liu Cong, Lu Yi supported Liu Cong, who was weak in his legs and feet and could barely walk, back to his residence.

Let Liu Cong sit at the head of the bed in the bedroom, Lu Yi said: "Second son, calm down, I'll get you some food." ”

Liu Cong was stunned and motionless.

He was really scared.

Growing so big, he's seen killing for the first time!

And this is the first time, I saw my father killed alive in front of my eyes by Cai Mao!

His mind was full of scenes of his father's final struggle.

Lu Yi glanced at Liu Cong, did not speak again, but walked out of the room and came to the small courtyard.

Outside, the sound of Mrs. Cai beckoning the maids to gather.

Lu Yi glanced around the General's Mansion to make sure that no one noticed, and then came to the rockery.

There, a monkey squatted on a rockery, watching him motionless.

Seeing him coming, the monkey hurriedly jumped off the rockery and removed a piece of the rockery to reveal an underground passage.

In the underpass, the head came out again.

It's still the boy named Ma Zhong.

Ma Zhong smiled at Lu Yi.

Lu Yi said: "Leave here." ”

Ma Zhong climbed out and motioned for Lu Yi to go down.

Watching Lu Yi drill down, Ma Zhong and the monkey finally drilled down, moved a rockery to the entrance of the cave, and covered the entrance of the passage.

Lu Yi only drilled in the underground passage for a while, and then drilled out.

The entrance to the underground passage is under the big locust tree outside a corner of the courtyard wall of the General's Mansion.

At this time, two figures dressed in white were lying not far from the big locust tree.

As soon as Lu Yi came out of the passage, the two figures hurriedly stood up and greeted him.

It was Nangong Yan and Shi Huan.

When Ma Zhong and the monkey also came out of the underground passage, Nangong Yan led the way in front, walking briskly, while looking around from time to time and saying, "Hurry up!" Now the city is full of tribes of the four wealthy clans, who are controlling the entire Xiangyang City. From time to time, there are their troops patrolling on the road, and a big discovery has unimaginable consequences. ”

"The people in the city have already taken refuge in their rooms."

The group followed Nangong Yan and quickly got into an ordinary house.

All the houses in this vicinity closed their doors and extinguished their lanterns.

Xiangyang City, which was originally lively, was silent at this time.

Only the moon overhead, emitting a cold white light, shrouded the surroundings.

Nangong Yan knocked on the door and meowed, and the door opened.

It's Lu Thirteen.

When Lu Shisan saw Lu Yi coming back, he let out a long breath and said inside: "The young owner is back!" ”

Lu Yi and his entourage went in.

I saw that in the house, Zhuge Liang hurriedly greeted him.

Introduce Lu Yi into the bedroom inside the house.

Lu 13 opened the pillow on the bed in the bedroom.

There, there's also an underground passage!

Lu Yi drilled in.

There's a huge space inside.

At this time, there were more than twenty young men hiding inside.

It's all team members who stayed.

Lu 13 finally entered the passage, closed the board at the entrance of the passage, and then said to Lu Yi with a smile: "Shaodong, if you don't come back, we will go crazy!" There are a lot of arrests outside! Those civil and military officials and their families were all controlled. ”

"All the people in the house were killed."

"Huo Du is also dead."

Lu Yi was taken aback.

Huo Du, Liu Biao's cronies, Huo Jun's brother, and Liu Pan are together.

This Cai Mao seems to be in a hurry.

Lu Yi was about to rest, but saw that Lu Shisan asked a young man to come over and squat beside him, while he rode directly on the other party's shoulder.

The young man stood up.

Lu Thirteen pressed his hands and fingers on the wooden board above his head and took the wooden board away.

In Lu Yi's stunned gaze, more than a dozen thin bamboo sticks hung down.

At the other end of the thin bamboo stick, there is something that looks like a trumpet.

Lu Shisan got down from the young man's shoulder, took a trumpet-like thing and pressed it on Lu Yi's right ear and said, "This is called Shunfeng Ear, when I sent rouge to the Huang family before, I saw a woman wearing a veil and yellow hair tinkering with this thing. ”

"Listen to her, it's called a downwind ear."

Pointing to Lu Yi's ear, he said, "No matter how long the bamboo stick is, as long as the ear is close to the other end, you can hear the sound of the other end through this bamboo stick." ”

"I tried it when I went back, and hey, it turned out to be real!"

"So, later, I built this refuge and made this tailwind."

"The other end of the downwind ear is at the gate of the General's Mansion"

"This end is made of a sheep's stomach and is attached to the ear, so that you can hear the sound of the other end of the bamboo stick, and it will not be uncomfortable to stick to the ear."

Lu Yi: "."

Looking at Lu Shisan, he was a little suspicious of his ears.

Isn't that the basic principle of the telephone?

The principle of propagating sound using solids.

I didn't expect to see it in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty!

Lu Shisan was surprised when he saw Lu Yi, and thought that it was the first time he had seen such a magical thing, and the corners of his mouth rose proudly.

Zhuge Liang also took a tailwind ear, put it on his ear and said: "This, I seem to have heard Mr. say that his daughter is working on something that can hear sound from a long distance, I don't know if it is Mr.'s daughter." ”

Lu Yi: "."

That's right.

The Huang family.

Or women's studies.

It should be the masterpiece of Zhuge Liang's husband Huang Chengyan's daughter.

What a "female scientist"!

If you can get her hands on her and tell her about all kinds of common items before the crossing, especially some war tools, maybe she can really make them!

If it can be done, then fighting a war in the future will greatly reduce casualties.

Even, Lu Yi thought of a way to talk to Huang Chengyan's daughter.

Since she made the "tailwind ears".

When the time comes, she will make her own periscopes and telescopes, which will definitely be able to deter her.

Moreover, these two, are not difficult.

At this moment, the sound of chaotic and hurried footsteps and roaring sounded in my ears.

Lu Yi hurriedly made a silent gesture towards everyone.

Besides, Cai Mao rushed to the gate of the general's mansion with Liu Biao's "succession document".

One after another, soldiers arrived with hundreds of civil and military officials.

These civil and military officials all showed despair on their faces.

The entire Xiangyang City made this move.

There is no doubt that something has definitely happened to their Jingzhou pastor.

In today's troubled times, Jingzhou is obviously developing very well, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.

They couldn't understand why Cai Mao would do such a thing?

Cai Mao watched the civil and military officials enter the general's mansion and ignored them.

There is only one thing in his eyes at this time, that is, to support Liu Cong to take the throne as soon as possible, so that the civil and military officials can recognize Liu Cong's identity and status, so as to stabilize Jingnan in order to face Liu Qi and the Wenpin army that are likely to attack in the near future.

As for whether these civil and military officials are sincere, he doesn't care.

However, he did not stand long at the door when a soldier arrived in front of him on a war horse and handed him a cloth bag.

At the bottom of the cloth bag, blood was still dripping.

Cai Mao took the cloth bag and opened it.

Inside lay the head of a young man—

Huo Duk!

Huo Du, Huo Jun's brother, was one of Liu Biao's most relied on cronies during his lifetime.

This time, Huo Du, Liu Pan, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, and Huo Jun led troops to Xiangyang City and stationed nearly 30,000 troops outside the city.

After that, Huo Du, Liu Pan, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan and Huo Jun took turns to visit Liu Biao every day to confirm that Liu Biao was still alive.

Now, Liu Biao has been killed by him.

It's only a matter of time before you turn your face with these five people.

That being the case, now eradicating one is one!

After determining Huo Du's head, Cai Mao was a little restless and walked at the gate of the general's mansion.

Huo Du was killed, and the garrison outside the city must have known about it.

Soon, maybe later, the army may be attacking the city.

Now it is necessary to hold a meeting of civil and military officials as soon as possible to determine Liu Cong's position as Jingzhou pastor.

At this time, the army outside the south gate of Xiangyang City was stationed in the handsome tent.

Huang Zhong had already rushed back and told Liu Pan about the attack that had taken place when he sent his eldest son, Liu Qi, away.

Although it was clear that the attackers were Cai Zhong and Cai He, and everything was done by Cai Mao, Liu Pan still hesitated.

Once you turn your face, Jingzhou will be in chaos.

At that time, Liu Biao will also die!

Huang Zhong looked at Liu Pan and didn't respond, but kept walking back and forth, looking tangled, and didn't make a sound.

It is not an easy thing for anyone to make a decision on such an important matter.

At that moment, a rush of footsteps sounded.

Then, the curtain was lifted.

Two bloodied figures rushed in.

Wei Yan and Huo Jun!

Liu Pan and Huang Zhong were shocked when they saw the two of them like this.

Liu Pan hurriedly greeted him and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Huo Jun knelt on the ground and cried, "Cai Mao has rebelled!" We were resting in the house, and suddenly a group of soldiers broke in, and when they came in, they killed people. My brother retreated to protect me and Wen Chang, and left the palace alone. When we fought our way out, I saw my brother beheaded! ”

Raising his face full of tears and blood, Huo Jun's eyes were full of bloodshot and said, "There is no doubt that the general was killed, killed by Cai Mao!" ”

"After killing the general, Cai Mao will definitely immediately push the second son to the throne."

"He doesn't have much energy to take care of the city's defenses."

"Now immediately attack the city to avenge my brother and the general, there may still be a glimmer of life."

"Otherwise, if it continues to drag on, it will be too late! We're all done! ”
