"You actually secretly descended to the Wei State. Zhuge Liang's eyes were about to erupt with fire.

Li Yan smiled and said: "Let me tell you the truth, not only did I descend to Wei, but now His Royal Highness Prince Liu Chan has surrendered to Wei with the Manchu Dynasty, and the army of Wei may have entered Hanzhong and received the city. ”

Zhuge Liang couldn't help but be taken aback, and asked, "If the crown prince wants to descend to Wei, how can he not inform me, where did you hear such a ridiculous thing?"

"Thanks to you, because you wrote to Meng Da, he has been in contact with me recently, so I know a lot of things in advance, but I can prepare early. Li Yan said with a smile.

Zhuge Liang asked, "What are you going to do with me?"

Li Yan said: "Today I kindly showed you a way out, but if you don't appreciate it, it's just that." I heard that the Immeasurable Daoist hated you to the bone, so I tied you up and sent the Immeasurable Daoist in exchange for him to say a few good words for me in front of Lord Wei, but it was also cost-effective. ”

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

At this moment, I only heard the sound of thunder coming from afar, the earth shook violently, and I saw dust flying in the distance, but a large group of cavalry was rushing here, Zhuge Liang also had some ability to accompany him, so he naturally saw that it was Ma Chao's men and horses who were running, and the general headed by Ma Chao was Ma Chao.

Zhuge Liang knew in an instant that Li Yan must not be lying, I am afraid that Liu Chan really secretly surrendered to Wei at the instigation of the people around him, and only kept him in the dark, and suddenly his heart was cold, and he said secretly: "Emperor Xian, it's not that I don't work hard, but the situation is pressing, Shu is dead, now I will come down to accompany you!"

Thinking of this, Zhuge Liang only sent his neck to the sword in front of him. was about to commit suicide, but how willing Li Yan was to do it, I saw him gently turn the sword and pat it lightly, and then help Zhuge Liang faint.

After a while, about 10,000 Xiliang Iron Riders arrived at the Sword Pavilion. They were put into the city without hindrance. As soon as he entered the city, Ma Chao took a few people and went straight to Zhuge Liang's temporary residence.

When he arrived at the door, Ma Chao only signed up, and there was a gatekeeper who responded: "The prime minister has just returned home, but today he suffered a little cold and fright in the city, and he is feeling a little unwell, and he is resting. ”

"After all, it is a literati. The body is poor, and the courage is too small, and it will be frightened in the city. Ma Chao thought with some disdain in his heart, but he didn't show it, just said lightly: "Well, go ahead!"

After all, now is the time to be in the same boat with Zhuge Liang and help Shu together, and it is not good to offend Zhuge Liang because of such a trivial matter. The attitude of the goalkeeper is also good, and it is not easy to embarrass them.

The man ran in. After a while, he ran to a hall, looked at Li Yan who was sitting there drinking tea, and hurriedly walked up and reported softly: "My lord, Ma Chao is outside asking to see Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, what should I do?"

Li Yan had already calculated Zhuge Liang. And Zhuge Liang was not guarded against him, so after inspecting the city, after being taken by Li Yan, Li Yan easily replaced Zhuge Liang's temporary residence with part of the garrison, but he changed his own people. Zhuge Liang was completely controlled, and there was no news at all, and the important positions guarding Zhuge Liang's temporary mansion at this moment were almost all controlled by Li Yan's henchmen.

Ma Chao's reputation was too great, and his sudden visit put a lot of pressure on Li Yan's henchmen, and the person who came in to report almost lost his temper outside.

Li Yan had long known that Ma Chao was coming, and he also knew Ma Chao's intention, so it was not strange that Ma Chao came to visit Zhuge Liang as soon as he entered Sword Pavilion City, and he had already made some preparations, so he looked over when he heard the sound, and said lightly: "Is Ma Chao here?"

"Yes, General, I am waiting outside at this time, you can see ......" The man looked at Li Yan and said cautiously.

Li Yan said: "Take him to the side hall!"

This person was instructed to step out of the hall, run to the door, and said to Ma Chao outside: "General Ma Chao, our adults will be here soon, and ask the villain to take you to the side hall, please come here." ”

"I'm tired. Ma Chao was slightly surprised to hear that this person did not call his master the prime minister, but it was not an exaggeration to call him an adult, so he nodded and followed towards the side hall.

This side hall is actually a small council office, with a few chairs in the room, a table, and four treasures of the study, but there are not many books on the bookshelf on the side.

Taking the tea from the slave, Ma Chao waited.

After a while, there was a daxiao, and Li Yan stepped in from outside: "I don't want the general to arrive so soon, welcome." ”

Ma Chao naturally knew Li Yan, and it was not Zhuge Liang who saw him at this moment, but Li Yan, but he frowned slightly, but after all, it was also an important city in Shu, and the number two person in the Sword Pavilion except for Zhuge Liang, Ma Chao still gave due courtesy, stood up, and saluted respectfully.

Li Yan had long known that Ma Chao had his own bearing, but at this time, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, seeing that although Ma Chao was a little heroic, but he had a deep haggardness, the whole person seemed to be more than ten years older than in previous years, not as dazzling as before, but a little ordinary, and he also knew in his heart that Liu Bei had been suspicious of this person over the years, did not dare to reuse it, and secretly suppressed it, how much he had endured for this person, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.

"Sit down, the general has something, please sit down and say. Li Yan sat down, and at the same time motioned for Ma Chao to take a seat.

Ma Chao didn't sit down, but just stood up and asked, "Master Li, what about Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, why didn't you come out to see me?"

"I won't hide it from you, Prime Minister Zhuge has been taken down by me. Li Yan said in a deep voice, seeing that Ma Chao was about to have a seizure, he hurriedly said: "Just before you came, Prime Minister Zhuge saw that the war was unfavorable, and he secretly communicated with Dongwu and was ready to surrender to Dongwu, but I found out, so I took it down and secretly detained him. ”

"Prime Minister Zhuge secretly communicated with Dongwu and was ready to surrender?" Ma Chao listened, and his expression became solemn: "Does Master Li have evidence for such an important matter?"

As soon as the words came out, Ma Chao found that he was doing superfluous things at all.

In his opinion, Shu is only the five tiger generals and Zhuge Liang can stand at the same level as him, and the rest are not in sight, and now Zhuge Liang has been secretly taken, then he is the first person in Shu, and no one can compete with him.

As long as he can retreat the Eastern Wu army this time, then his prestige can be improved again, and at the same time, he can also take advantage of the opportunity to resist Jiangdong to hold the tens of thousands of troops here tightly.

When the time comes, he wants to set aside Liu Chan and do what Cao Cao did back then, or directly change the dynasty like Cao Pi, it only depends on his own wishes.

The more he thought about it, the more excited Ma Chao became, and at the same time, he knew in his heart that in order to get such a result, everything had to be based on Zhuge Liang's rebellion and being killed, so he didn't care whether Li Yan really had evidence or not, and directly convicted Zhuge Liang, and then killed him.
