Zhao Yi saw Gan Ning who was leading a patrol at night and heard the noise. He pointed to the corpse on the ground and said, "Nothing, nothing. A thief entered the mansion. The third lady and General Ling Tong killed the thief in order to protect me. It’s okay now.”
Seeing that the thief was dead and Sun Shangxiang was here again, Gan Ning waved all the soldiers to retreat and patrolled the surrounding area, while he turned around and closed the door again.
Gan Ning glanced at Sun Shangxiang, then glared at Ling Tongyi, and then said: "Commander Zhuge, I'm really sorry. It was my dereliction of duty that the thieves entered the mansion and frightened you. Don't worry, my people and I will meet you tonight." Stay outside the door and you can rest peacefully. Miss Third, I will send someone to escort you back."
Sun Shangxiang knew that she could no longer hide the fact that she sneaked into the official residence tonight. Before leaving, she gave Zhao Yi a vicious look, but when she glanced at the body on the ground, fear that she had never seen before appeared on her face.
Yes, when Zhao Yi used fierce means to kill Li Hong, it did have some visual impact and shock on her.
Sun Shangxiang, who had been pampered since childhood and held in the palm of her hands by her father and two brothers, had never seen dead people before, but this was the first time she had seen such a bloody scene at such a close range, so much so that she forgot to defend herself when Gan Ning came in.
As for Ling Tong, he already had a grudge against Gan Ning, and what happened tonight was so strange that his mind was in a mess and he hadn't sorted it out yet, so he had to go back with Sun Shangxiang first.
After Gan Ning's men cleaned up the yard, Zhao Yi returned to the house, but instead of going back to his own house, he got into Zhuge Liang's house.
Obviously, the loud fighting between several people also disturbed the sleeping Military Advisor Zhuge. Seeing Zhao Yi come in, Zhuge Liang struggled and turned sideways and asked softly: "Commander, what just happened outside?"
Although there were only two of them at the moment, there were soldiers from Soochow outside the house. Zhuge Liang still called Zhao Yi his military advisor.
Zhao Yi looked around, walked over to the bed and leaned down.
"An assassin came outside just now. The other two are the third young lady of the Sun family and Ling Tong. The assassin has been killed by me. It seems that he is the same group of people we met on the river. There is another one hidden on the roof. It's a pity that He ran away."
"What? A group of people? Sent by Cao Cao to destroy our alliance?"
Zhao Yi's expression was a little strange, and he clicked his tongue and said: "I thought so too at first, but now I am 100% sure that the goal of this group of people is not you, nor is it to destroy our two alliances, but to attack me. They want to I was the one to kill.”
"What? Is it you? Is this... the enemy of the Changshan Zhao family?"
As a descendant of the Langya Zhuge clan, Zhuge Liang also knew about the grievances and hatreds between some clans and factions, but he couldn't figure out how the enemies of Changshan Zhao clan could chase him to 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 an enemy of our family. Sir, the man just said a term that puzzled me. Do you know what Niu Jinniu is? And Ji Zun Star Lord."
Zhuge Liang frowned, and his already pale face became even more bloodless.
His abnormality made Zhao Yi keenly catch something, and he hurriedly asked, "Sir, have you heard of it? Do you know who the visitor is?"
Zhuge Liang took two quick breaths and coughed a few more times before calming down.
"Niu Taurus...is one of the twenty-eight constellations, one of the seven constellations of Xuanwu in the north. It is also called the Northern Niu Niu Xingjun, the Niu Niu Tianji Xingjun, and the Ji Zun Xingjun. This star's surname is Li Minghong, and he is in the sky. It is in the shape of a bull's horn, which means that we are in love but cannot stay together, and it is an evil star."
"Wait a minute, sir, what did you say? His surname is Li Minghong? How do you know his name? The guy's name was Li Hong just now!"
Zhuge Liang took another breath and said: "Yes, the real name of Ji Zun Xingjun is Li Hong. This person should have applied the name of Xingxiu to himself. I seem to have guessed it... I really hope it's not them. ....."
Zhao Yi became more and more puzzled as he listened, and asked: "Sir, what on earth is this? Why do I get more and more confused the more I listen to it?"
Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "I don't know the specific situation very well. I heard my teacher say before that there are twenty-eight stars all over the continent. They are the agents sent by God to the world. They will correct the wheel of history when it goes astray. , let everything conform to 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.
"That's right, that guy said I was some kind of variable in the way of heaven, a bastard. Did I encounter some kind of cult organization?"
Zhuge Liang shook his head again and said: "These twenty-eight constellations are very mysterious. I have only heard a few words from my teacher and have never seen them before. The military advisor must be extremely careful after being targeted by them. Wait until I recover." Just write a letter to the teacher and ask for advice."
After getting Zhuge Liang's explanation, Zhao Yi had a general idea. Although this organization seemed to be quite mysterious, and even the military strategists knew little about it, at least he could be sure that the other party was not mistaken. The other party seemed to realize that his appearance had affected the world. The overall trend will determine how to eliminate him.
"Damn...who do these people think they are? Gods who turn their hands to make clouds and rain? If you dare to provoke me to knock on your door again, I will take away your twenty-eight constellations in one pot! Really? It's unlucky that I was targeted by a cult organization when I first came here, where can I explain this?"
Zhao Yi cursed and went back to his room and lay on the bed. After lying there for a while, he felt uneasy again. He went into the warehouse and found a body armor that was anti-knife and fire-proof and put it on inside. He held a gun and a knife in his hand. Sleep peacefully.
He was sleeping peacefully here, but Sun Quan's mansion was brightly lit all night.
Just kidding, the envoy sent by Liu Bei to discuss cooperation was targeted and assassinated as soon as he arrived. This was in his territory east of Jiangdong, and it was Chaisang. How could Sun Quan sleep at night after such an incident?
"Shame, this is my Jiangdong's shame! Someone has already assassinated our future allies under our noses. I just want to ask, when did my Chai Sang's patrol defense relax enough to allow people to come and go at will?"
Sun Quan was very angry and lost his temper with his generals for the first time, while Sun Shangxiang was taken back to the backyard by his mother Wu Guotai to educate him alone.
A number of Soochow generals who were in Chaisang stood in a row in front of Sun Quan, all with their heads lowered and looking ashamed.
Indeed, Zhuge Liang's identity is relatively sensitive. Although it has not been stated clearly what he came to do, everyone knows that he was assassinated in the official residence on the first day after arriving. This means that the assassin failed. If he succeeded, the consequences would be disastrous.
"My lord, this is all the negligence of my subordinates. I have ordered the patrol army to increase patrols and build three layers of protection around the official residence. Not even a fly can fly in, let alone people!"
Gan Ning was the first to clasp his fists and report the results of his handling.
At this time, Lu Su took two steps forward and lowered his voice: "Judging from this incident, the killer was most likely sent by Cao Cao. As the saying goes, you can only commit a thief for a thousand days, but there is no such thing as a thousand days to guard against a thief. Then Zhuge Kongming lives in We can't feel at ease in the official residence for a whole day, so my subordinates suggested that we simply bring him into the residence and take care of him nearby."
When Lu Su received the news that Zhuge Liang had been assassinated, he broke into a cold sweat because he had just experienced the assassination on the river, but he did not expect that the assassin would dare to chase Chai Sang. He was very courageous.
Sun Quan took two breaths and forced himself to calm down.
"Zijing, you can handle this for me and pick up Zhuge Kongming. You are right. Living closer is convenient for protection and communication. Aren't I going to host a banquet for him tomorrow? There is no need for him when he comes. When I return to the official residence, I will ask someone to clear out a guest room in the courtyard."
After speaking, Sun Quan glanced at his generals and sighed: "Oh, I didn't mean to lose my temper with you, but we are in an extraordinary moment now. I hope everyone can realize the seriousness of this matter. Okay. Come on, let’s go down, Chaisang’s defense inspection will be entirely handled by Xingba.”
"Yes, my lord!"
