Chapter 706 There Are Always People Who Want to Do Things that Seem Stupid!

"How could...how could he not be dead?"

"Grand Sacrificial Wine, my subordinate has participated in the operation to kill the barbarian girl before and has seen the appearance of the barbarian girl with his own eyes. This time he went to the suburban medical center because of the wounds sustained during that assassination operation!"

"Subordinate... I have said it with my own eyes, and I will never admit my mistake! That barbarian girl is lying in the medical center... and there are other women taking care of her!"

The skin color of the barbarians is different from that of the Han people, making them easy to identify.

Barbarian women rarely appear in Chengdu, and it is precisely because of this that the ghost soldier is very sure.

And as he told it in more detail.

In the entire secret room, everyone's expressions were as dark as water.

Something happened——

Something big happened——

If this barbarian girl survives, then all the misunderstandings will be cleared up is if Zhuge Liang sees her.

Then, the Southern Barbarian invasion that has been launched, the Southern Barbarian invasion that is sure to win... is likely to be abandoned halfway. The orders issued by the King of Wei and the actions of the Five Dou Rice Sect will end in failure.

The influence here... is profound.

This is stealing the chicken but losing the rice. This is the rhythm that will lead to big trouble——

However, it is useless to complain now. The matter has come to this, and even if she takes the risk, she will never be allowed to see Zhuge Liang alive. No, she will never be allowed to walk out of the medical center alive.

Thinking of this, Zhang's expression became more solemn, and he immediately asked the ghost soldier.

"Where is the medical center?"

The ghost soldier quickly pointed to the simple map of Chengdu on the desk and pointed out the location of the medical center.

Zhang Zhu was a little embarrassed looking at this position.

"It's only five miles away from the Shu army station on the outskirts of the city——"

That's right, the medical center is at the foot of Changqiu Mountain, not far from the Shu Army Station.

Zhao Guang, the grand sacrificial wine drinker, mused: "Even if the center of Shu is empty, there are still two or three thousand people in the Shu military camp. If we send a large number of ghost soldiers to rush to this hospital to assassinate them, or burn this hospital with fire." It will alarm the Shu military camp, but it will create unintended consequences... counterproductive. "

"That's what you want..." Zhang Zhang looked at Zhao Guang.

At this time, he did not consult Zhang Yulan and Zhang Qiying, who had higher status.

This is because... if it really involves this kind of decisive killing, these men still need to make the decision. The so-called benevolence of women... women are always kind.

"Just a few of us will go -"

Zhao Guang suggested, and as he spoke, he looked at everyone in the room, including him, including the ghost soldier, there were nine in total... one hag, one saint, six high priests, and one ghost soldier!

"We pretended to be patients and sneaked in, and then killed the barbarian girl without missing a beat... without anyone noticing..."

Zhao Guang suggested.

Following this suggestion, Zhang Zhu, Meng Sheng, Wang Sheng, Huang Chang, Yang Feng... the five high priests nodded in unison.

"That's it..."

Zhang Zhu immediately saluted Zhang Yulan and Zhang Qiying, "This matter is of great importance, so hags and saints should not get involved..."

"Do you think I'm a woman?" Zhang Yulan was a little annoyed.

But Zhang Zhu didn't take it seriously and smiled lightly, "Haha, the saint has mentioned before that the ghost woman has become a woman's benevolence... This matter is related to the edict of King Wei and our Five Pecks of Rice Sect. There must not be any mistakes in spreading in the Central Plains...so..."

"I know..." Zhang Yulan gritted her teeth. It felt bad to be rejected by her subordinates. She was a strong woman, "So, I want to go! Compared with you blindly rushing in, I... I have A better way!”

At this point, Zhang Qiying suddenly realized something and she exclaimed.

"Aunt...do you want to use that medicine?"

Obviously, Zhang Qiying thought of something.

Zhang Yulan nodded heavily under the eyes of everyone, and then took out a medicine bottle, "As long as you open this medicine bottle and smell the smell inside, no matter who you are? You will faint immediately... Instead of you rushing in and making a mess. Breaking in, why not... use this method to sneak in without anyone noticing..."

As soon as this statement came out...

All the high priests put away their rudeness and bowed their hands to Zhang Yulan respectfully.

The leader of the ceremony, Zhang Zhang, said with emotion: "I have only heard of rosemary from the Western Regions, which can make people fall asleep after smelling it. She is worthy of being a hag... but there is such a strange fragrance——"

Zhang Yulan bit her lip slightly, "Without further ado...you guys take the antidote first, and we'll set off immediately!"

While talking, Zhang Yulan distributed pills to everyone, and she swallowed one herself. When everyone saw her swallowing, they swallowed it without hesitation, then prepared the daggers and the group of nine people headed towards the medical center. .

It's just... Zhang Yulan didn't swallow the pill, she just stuck it in her mouth.

Zhang Qiying looked at the details and noticed something was wrong from the way her aunt swallowed. She also did not swallow the pill——

So much so that she seemed to realize what her aunt was going to do.

…

…

Lutou Mountain is a mountain located in Mianzhu Pass. It is the only way to pass through Mianzhu and lead to the middle of Sichuan.

As the saying goes - Jiangsuo Shuanglongtai, Guanxiong Wumahou. Yizhou is like the heart, and the throat here is small.

The word "throat" is enough to describe the status of Lutou Mountain to Shuzhong and Chengdu.

On the top of the mountain at this moment, Zhuge Liang, Huang Yueying, and Guan Suo all rushed to a tombstone. This was a place in Lutou Mountain called Luofengpo.

There are hundreds of green ancient cypresses surrounding the place, which are so lush that they block out the sun.

Quiet, there is no sound;

If it moves, Lin Tao will roar.

There are also two ancient cypresses here, which were planted by Zhang Fei in memory of Pang Tong, hence the name Zhang Fei cypress. Their crowns are dragon-shaped on the left and phoenix-shaped on the right, also known as dragon and phoenix cypresses.

At this moment, Zhuge Liang was standing among the ancient cypresses, facing Pang Tong's tombstone, as if he was filled with emotion.

"Shiyuan, long time no see. Today Liang Te, his wife, and junior Guan Suo came to pay their respects to you——"

Zhuge Liang's words seemed to be addressed to an old friend.

But it seemed like he had a lot of emotions.

——The crouching dragon and the phoenix chick can settle down the world!

——What if you get the best of both worlds? Why not achieve hegemony?

These two sentences are widely spread in Jingxiang, but where did they come from? In this world, Zhuge Liang is probably the only one who knows the truth.

He took Huang Yueying and Guan Suo to pay three respects to Pang Tong's tombstone, placed the tributes, then slowly turned around, walked down the steps, and asked:

"Weizhi? Your fourth brother knows all the heroes in the world. Does he know that? Where do the names of me, Wolong and Pang Shiyuan, come from..."

this…

When such a question was suddenly raised, Guan Suo paused, pondered for a moment, and then shook his head, "Fourth brother has never mentioned this before!"

"Let me tell you..." Zhuge Liang recounted this memory that had been buried in his heart for a long time.

turn out to be…

The big man is never short of "titles", especially "Qingliu", who is often given a special title.

Such as Sanjun, Bagu, Baji, Bachu...

There are the familiar Xunshi Eight Dragons, Xunshi Sanruo, Jingzhou Eight Jun, etc...

If you want to gain a foothold in troubled times, family support is indispensable, but the first item of support is to establish a reputation. The first thing is to establish a reputation!

Such as Lu Ji cherishing oranges, such as lying on the ice to ask for carp, such as Kong Rong letting pears...

It’s still a cliché analysis. As the legitimate son of Jiangdong’s Lu family, Lu Ji has never been short of oranges in his family;

Wang Xiang belongs to the Langya family, and there are many carps in his family;

As for Kong Rong... His hometown is rich in pears, so there is no need to give in.

All of this... is all staged, and is a series of methods implemented by wealthy families to gain a reputation for their children, so that... they can promote filial piety and integrity and enter the official career.

The same is true for Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong.

Zhuge Liang's master was the famous scholar Sima Hui. Zhuge Liang's sister was married to the Kuai family of Jingzhou and the other to the Pang family of the four major families of Pang, Ma, Xiang and Xi. Zhuge Liang's uncle was Liu Biao, and Zhuge Liang's uncle was Kuai Yue.

He has the background, but the only thing missing is the title...

The same is true for Pang Tong.

Therefore, Mr. Shui Jing, Sima Hui, who was also a famous scholar, discussed privately with Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan... and made a plan that allowed Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong to shine in front of Jingchu talents.

The names Wolong and Fengxiao... came into being at the right time.

Of course, the reason why Liu Biao did not reuse them was because he knew what was going on here and knew the qualities of "Wolong" and "Fengxiao"...

It's a pity that this title is a bit watered down, but it can't stand... There is something real in these two people's stomachs!

I can't stand it, he doesn't reuse it, but the title of Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Child is widely spread...

As a result, it unexpectedly reached the ears of Liu Bei and Zhou Yu.

Is this why Liu Bei wanted to get Zhuge Liang even after visiting the thatched cottage three times?

Why did Zhou Yu take Feng Chu under his command and let him lead the entire plan to conquer Sichuan and Sichuan?

Everything is manipulated...

Guan Suo listened patiently, his heart palpitating slightly. He pursed his lips and asked doubtfully: "Why did Military Advisor Zhuge tell me this!"

"It's nothing, I just came to see Pang Shiyuan again...I just felt it..."

Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan gently.

It's like I'm covering something...

Guan Suo could feel that he was hesitant to speak, and he could also feel that he...he must be hiding something...

At this time...

Jiang Wan hurried over, "Commander Zhuge, madam... all the explosive packets under Luofeng Slope have been buried, and the leads have been passed to the distance through conduits. If the invasion of the Southern Barbarians forces us to this point, as long as the military commander gives an order... we can do it." Blow up the entire Luofengpo! No matter how many barbarians come, they will all be destroyed here!"

Jiang Wan's words were full of passion...

Zhuge Liang's expression was extremely desolate. He was not happy at all because he had deployed this explosive pack that could defeat the Nanman and severely damage the Nanman. Instead... his face was covered with deep melancholy.

After pondering for a long time, he finally spoke up: "If Xuande hadn't fought the Cao thieves in Hanzhong, we would never have treated the barbarians like this..."

Hearing this, Guan Suo said: "Fourth brother has also mentioned before that when dealing with barbarians, the priority should be to attack the heart..."

Zhuge Liang nodded, "He is right. If I have enough time and sufficient troops, I will definitely make these barbarians surrender with sincerity. But once this explosive pack detonates, then... from now on, there will be no need to attack the heart. At that time... not only the barbarians, but all ethnic groups other than Han people will no longer believe in us. "

Having said this, Zhuge Liang turned around and looked meaningfully at Pang Tong's tombstone.

The decision that had already been made in my mind has undoubtedly become much more concrete at this moment.

"Are you all ready?"

Zhuge Liang looked at Jiang Wan...

Jiang Wan pondered for a moment, then just nodded and remained silent.

After receiving this reply, Zhuge Liang turned to Huang Yueying again, "Madam, go back...I am here..."

Huang Yueying gritted her teeth, and the tears in her eyes were about to burst out. She seemed to have guessed something.

"Can't you not go?"

Zhuge Liang smiled faintly, "Pang Tong could have chosen not to die back then -"

After saying that, he turned around and followed Jiang Wan outside the ancestral temple.

Guan Suo didn't understand for a while, "What is Military Advisor Zhuge doing?"

Huang Yueying wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. She tried hard to be stronger. At least she looked stronger. "He must be planning to see the Barbarian King in person..."

"Why?" Guan Suo was stunned, and subconsciously he wanted to catch up and ask Zhuge Liang why.

Yes, obviously the explosive package has been buried, no matter how many barbarians come, are you not afraid? Why...why take the risk to meet the barbarian king Meng Huo?

You know, the misunderstanding has not been resolved.

In Meng Huo's eyes, he and Zhuge Liang were undoubtedly vengeful for killing the daughter. This was a life-and-death relationship. Besides, barbarians were known to be cannibals!

Just as Guan Suo took a step forward, Huang Yueying's calloused palm pulled him back. The palm was not big, but it was covered with thick calluses, perhaps because of assisting her husband in making various crafts all year round.

"do not go…"

Huang Yueying's voice came out at the same time.

"Why?"

"You can't persuade him..." Huang Yueying explained.

Guan Suo is still confused...

Huang Yueying couldn't help but shook her head and murmured, "No one can stop what Kong Ming wants to do..."

"But the misunderstanding has not been resolved. Cheng Yu, the envoy against the Wei Dynasty, is still there. Zhuge Military Advisor...he is the backbone of Shu! How can he put himself in danger?"

"These are not reasons." Huang Yueying pursed her lips, "Before the Battle of Chibi, the big clans of Soochow wanted to surrender to Cao Cao. At that time, wasn't it dangerous for Kong Ming to fight with the Confucian scholars? Maybe in Kong Ming's view, he could still use it The method of verbal warfare... persuades the barbarians to retreat, so as to avoid the destruction of life, and also to preserve the possibility of subduing these barbarians in the future..."

"This is different...that barbarian girl Hua Wan died in Chengdu!"

Perhaps it was because Guan Suo's words were loud enough that they not only reached Huang Yueying's ears.

Even Zhuge Liang, who was gradually walking away, heard it.

For this reason, he paused, turned around, and looked back at Guan Suo, "Weizhi, what your fourth brother taught you is to make the most correct decisions, the most rational choices, and the most successful deployments at all times, but I will also teach you something today, and maybe through you... I can also teach this to your fourth brother..."

this…

Guan Suo and Zhuge Liang looked at each other.

Even dozens of steps away, Guan Suo could feel the great pressure, as if Zhuge Liang was speaking a final message.

At this time, Zhuge Liang's words recited again, "What I want to teach you is that in this world, there are always some people who want to do some seemingly stupid things! For example, Pang Shiyuan, he could not die at the beginning, but he did not die... The Lord wins the benefit Zhou's origins are not right, and he will be stabbed in the back forever, questioning his name of benevolence, and his benevolence will collapse in this Han Dynasty in an instant..."

"Only Pang Shiyuan fell in Luofengpo... Tao, heaven, earth, generals, laws... The lord marched westward to Bashu, and the most lacking 'morality' was successfully made up for... The lord no longer betrayed his faith to seek the clan's land, but It is to avenge the military advisor, to avenge the brothers, this is also a mortal hatred..."

Having said this, Zhuge Liang paused for a moment, "What I have to do today is not to save the lives of the two hundred thousand barbarians, but to do my best to avoid this war that should not exist..."

"But...but if the barbarians are unreasonable...what if they don't let the military advisor go?" Guan Suo asked next.

"In that case..." Zhuge Liang smiled lightly, "At that time, another of Liu Huangshu's military advisors was either dead or imprisoned in the barbarian army. In this way...even if we killed hundreds of thousands of barbarians, it was for a reason and the teacher was famous... At least the Di people, the Ji people, and other ethnic groups will support us and stand on our side.”

understood…

When Zhuge Liang chanted this last sentence, Guan Suo understood everything at once.

He opened his mouth subconsciously, he still wanted to persuade.

But at this moment, when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them all... He seemed to have understood the lesson that Military Advisor Zhuge used his life to explain to him.

There's always someone going to do something seemingly stupid--

For a moment, he hesitated, with a lump in his throat.

Subconsciously, he lowered his head, but just as he lowered his head, he noticed Huang Yueying's obviously bulging belly.

He was aware of it, but it was obvious that Zhuge Liang didn't know that there was any flesh and blood in his belly.

"Zhuge Military Advisor..."

Guan Suo was about to open his mouth, but as if Hui Zhilan's heart-warming Huang Yueying saw through it again, she pulled Guan Suo back again, then shook her head at him, signaling...

Don't tell him!

"Is there anything else?" Zhuge Liang asked Guan Suo.

"No...no more..." Guan Suo could only shake his head.

At this time, Zhuge Liang stopped stopping and walked out of the ancestral temple and boarded the carriage driven by Jiang Wan.

Until this carriage drives out...

Guan Suocai looked at Huang Yueying's belly and asked her, "Why don't you tell Military Advisor Zhuge about this?"

Huang Yueying shook her head, "Kong Ming has always only had country in his heart, not family...I, this child and I should not be his constraints!"

Huh...huh——

Guan Suo let out a long breath. Even at this moment, he still couldn't understand...

Is it worth it?

Is it worth taking such a risk, using one's own life, and the happiness of the whole family, to win the chance of success in a verbal battle?

…

Zhuge Liang has already driven away.

At the same time, Lutou Mountain was heavily guarded, and many people were very nervous. They had only heard that on the Bashan battlefield, this explosive killed tens of thousands of Wei soldiers in an instant.

But... no one knows how powerful this explosive is.

But even so, each soldier stood here with a fierce gaze, as if the lead in their hands... could determine the life or death of hundreds of thousands or millions of people in Shu.

In the evening, the setting sun shone on the mottled city tower. Guan Suo walked through the city gate sadly. He was particularly depressed and regretful.

He chanted from time to time, "It's all my fault. It's all my fault for not listening to Fourth Brother. Otherwise...otherwise, there would be no need for Prime Minister Zhuge to risk his life like this."

At this time, there were a large number of people surrounding the city tower, and life was noisy.

Hearing this, Guan Suo couldn't help but turn his head and saw a man dressed as a merchant holding a gold hairpin high and shouting, "Are you so ignorant? Do you want to exchange three pieces of Sichuan brocade? Don't even think about it. ! Bring at least thirty!"

The people below were still questioning, "You are asking for a high price. We haven't verified whether this hairpin is real gold or fake gold, but you are threatening to use thirty pieces of Sichuan brocade. You are just talking like a lion."

"Real gold is not afraid of fire? If you don't believe it? Then I will refine it for you now? But as agreed, this is the product of Jingzhou's craftsmen. If it turns out to be real gold, the thirty pieces of Sichuan brocade will not be sold to you. "

This was originally a bargain between merchants and "fateful" customers, and it was nothing at all.

However, when Guan Suo glanced at it, he noticed the word "Wei" and the word "Yue" engraved on the gold...

This handwriting, this hairpin... Guan Suo is very familiar with it. Isn't this the one he gave to Wang Yue?

——'Wang Yue is here? 』

Guan Suo thought this subconsciously.

But suddenly, he was attracted by the cloth wrapping the golden hairpin. It turned out that... this cloth was quite familiar to him. It was the cloth he had given to Bao Sanniang, and he had wiped her tears several times.

This is a piece of cloth with a story...

——'Wang Yue? Bao Sanniang? Garland? 』

etc…

Guan Suo immediately came back to his senses, his pupils widened, and there was a lot of hope in the eyes that were originally annoyed and frustrated.

He took vigorous steps continuously and grabbed the merchant, "Say? Where did this hairpin come from? Where did it come from?"

"Young Master...Young Master, if you have something to say, if you have something to say..." The merchant was extremely frightened, but he noticed that the young master in front of him was dressed luxuriously and he was a noble man. How could he dare to offend him, "I... I also bought it from someone else. Yes...it was Dong Feng, a doctor from outside the city, who used this hairpin in exchange for money...I, I..."

He wanted to say that he was just buying low and selling high... This was a business practice and was protected by the Shuzhong Commerce Department.

Who would have thought that Guan Suo snatched the hairpin from his hand, threw a bag full of coins to him, and said seriously, "Lead the way, take me to the medical clinic to see the doctor Dong Feng." …”

"Sure...Sure..." The merchant agreed quickly, and subconsciously weighed the bag of coins in his hand. It was heavy, and after a sneak peek, it turned out to be "silver"...

Although most of the silver in the Han Dynasty was used by the government and paid by local governments as tributes to the court,... it was also quite popular among the people and was a hard currency!

The full bag of silver is cold, but the heart in my arms is warm.

Immediately, the merchant turned into a smile and said, "Young Master, come with me, this way, this way -"

…

Over here, Guan Suo was still rushing to the medical center under the guidance of the merchant.

But over there, nine people from the Five Pecks of Rice Sect had arrived at the medical center. The ghost soldiers had finished testing and found that doctor Dong Feng was not here... perhaps he had gone out to buy medicinal materials.

And the only patients living here are in that room...

This is easy to handle——

Zhang Zhu asked Zhang Yulan for the drug and handed it to the ghost soldier, "Hide it secretly...and then what to do, do you know? You know...you know!"

The ghost soldier repeatedly agreed, "I know, don't worry about the grand ceremony wine... don't worry about the saint, don't worry about the hag..."

As he spoke, he took the drug and walked to the medical center again.

At this time, Zhang Yulan opened his mouth and said to Zhang Zhang: "Our goal is just to kill the barbarian girl. The rest of the people can always save their lives!"

"No!" Zhang Zhuo replied decisively: "They will see our faces and expose the truth, so... no one can be left alive!"

"you--"

Zhang Yulan groaned, but at this time, she found that her identity had become extremely pale.

Even though she is usually a hag, she is an existence below one person in the Five Pecks of Rice Sect, but due to her lack of martial arts, when it comes to such an action, he...he can't do anything.

"action--"

At this time, Zhang Zhang saw the ghost soldier entering the door and waved to the other five sacrificial wine men beside him, and immediately the six of them quickly marched towards the medical center.

Zhang Yulan couldn't help biting her lips when she saw them behaving like this. At this time, she was particularly hesitant and in a complicated mood.

"Aunt..." At this time, Zhang Qiying's voice came out, "Aunt didn't take the pill just now, right?"

Well…

When this was suddenly mentioned, Zhang Yulan felt ashamed of being caught doing bad things, and she couldn't help but lower her head.

Zhang Qiying continued, "I think it's not the women in this medical clinic that my aunt wants to charm, but...but these six high priests?"

this…

Following Zhang Qiying's words, Zhang Yulan couldn't help but widen her eyes.

"You...how do you know everything?"

Zhang Qiying pursed her lips slightly, "Aunt, please don't ask this. I am willing to help you and kill less...but..."

"But what?"

"Others can be spared, but that barbarian woman is related to the King of Wei's edict and the future of our Five Pecks of Rice Sect. She...she must die..."

Zhang Qiying's voice was not loud, but the pupils that shot out with the voice were breathtaking.

Even Zhang Yulan didn't know what to say for a while!

After pondering for a long time, she murmured and asked: "Qiying? What is your plan...?"

...
