Liu Bei left Xinye, quietly went to Linju, and began to visit Zhuge Liang.
But he never imagined that someone had been secretly watching him. The person who was watching was arranged by Cao Ang, mainly to help Chen Zhou find Zhuge Liang through Liu Bei.
Seeing Liu Bei leave, the people who were watching secretly took action.
Cao Ang inserted not just a few people, but a group of people. Some were following Liu Bei, and some were starting to prepare. As long as they were sure that they were looking for Zhuge Liang, they could determine the location and kill Zhuge Liang.
Liu Bei went out quietly, but he was not the only one to go. Guan and Zhang had to be brought with him. In addition, there were Chen Dao and the Baijie soldiers that Chen Dao had just trained for him. The security force was sufficient.
Otherwise, if Cao Ang's men directly assassinated Liu Bei, it would be more valuable than fighting Ge Liang.
But with the presence of Zhang and Zhang, it would be very difficult to kill Liu Bei, unless Cao Ang could mobilize a large army to intercept and kill Liu Bei. However, in Jingzhou, a large army intercepted and killed Liu Bei. Maybe these troops were discovered by Liu Biao's scouts before they showed up.
Doing so led to a war between the Cao family and Liu Biao.
Cao Ang didn't dare to go to this extent, so he just arranged for people to follow him.
Liu Bei had no idea that there was someone watching around him. After leaving Xinye, he headed in the direction of Linju. While walking on the road, he was still full of confidence and expectations for inviting Zhuge Liang to come out. He smiled and said: "If this time, I can Please bring out a master who is even more powerful than Yuan Zhi, and we can achieve great things, haha..."
Zhang Fei listened and hummed: "Brother, isn't he just a scribe or a scholar that you need to invite in person? Let me go to Linju and bring him back to you."
Even if Zhuge Liang didn't want to leave the mountain, it would be easy for Zhang Fei to just tie him up. At that time, it was not Zhuge Liang's decision whether he wanted to come or not.
Liu Bei laughed and said: "Yide, you need to hire capable scribes, so that they can truly help you. It's not possible to do this like you."
As he spoke, he began to look forward to his bright future.
If he can get Zhuge Liang, everything will be wonderful. Xu Shu is so powerful, he can see it, but Xu Shu praises Zhuge Liang so much, he must be a hidden talent.
Maybe he is even more powerful than Chen Zhou beside Cao Cao.
Thinking of Chen Zhou, Liu Bei was extremely depressed. He had been defeated by Chen Zhou in the past. When he asked Zhuge Liang to come out, he must regain his position.
"Yide, when you get to Linju, don't talk casually. I'm afraid you will offend Mr. Wolong."
Liu Bei thought about Zhang Fei's character and warned: "We must treat scribes like Mr. Wolong with courtesy!"
Guan Yu said: "Don't worry, eldest brother, I will warn my third brother."
Regarding Guan Yu, Liu Bei was still very relieved and nodded after hearing this.
After almost resting, they continued to head south, but they still didn't notice the people staring at them around them.
However, when they were about to arrive in Linju, the people Cao Ang arranged to come analyzed the direction of tracking and found out that the person they were looking for might be in Linju, so those people took action and arrived in Linju before Liu Bei.

Zhuge Liang temporarily lived in Xiang Lang's house and gave him a small amount of money as rent. He had nothing to do and just read a book every day. He was quite comfortable. However, he still wanted to go back to Wollongong in Nanyang, which was his own place. , although this place is also very good and Xiang Lang takes good care of it, it always feels like something is missing.
Worked in Nanyang.
Without Nanyang, Zhuge Liang felt like he had no soul.
"Kong Ming!"
At this time, Xiang Lang walked in and said: "Yuan Zhi asked someone to inform me. Uncle Liu Xuande and Liu Huang are coming to invite you to come out. The teacher said back then that the person who asked you to wait is Uncle Liu. Now he is coming. What do you think?" ?”
Mr. Shui Jing, Sima Hui, had already analyzed Liu Bei once and found a candidate for Zhuge Liang's future assistance.
Zhuge Liang worked hard in Nanyang just to wait for Liu Bei to find him and pass down the story for the ages. However, this story for the ages was inexplicably broken by Cao Cao's people, and they still can't understand the reason.
"Uncle Liu Huang came so quickly?"
Zhuge Liang put down the bamboo slips in his hand.
According to their thinking, Liu Bei would go to invite Zhuge Liang, and there would still be one or two years left.
It's here now, beyond Zhuge Liang's plan.
Xiang Lang said: "Yuan Zhi went to Xinye. I knew that Kong Ming had nowhere to go to avoid Cao Cao. I told you in advance that you might as well follow Uncle Liu Huang to Xinye. He has enough ability to protect you. If you are here... Cao Cao’s people are here, but I don’t know what to do.”
Zhuge Liang could understand Xu Shu's good intentions and said helplessly: "Cao Cao has done so much, why on earth? Why does he know my existence?"
Now he doesn't even dare to go back to Wollongong.
And I really can’t see through what Cao Cao did.
However, at this moment, Zhuge Liang had a bold idea, that is, Cao Cao's people could know who he was and where he lived, and even let people stare at Wollongong to know whether Liu Bei would come to invite him. Go out on your own and keep an eye on Liu Bei?
As soon as this idea appeared, it spread in Zhuge Liang's mind.
There was a possibility, but it wasn't the case. It couldn't be determined for the time being. He told Xiang Lang his idea.
"impossible?"
Xiang Lang shook his head slightly and said in disbelief: "If Cao Cao's people really know this, doesn't it mean that someone around the teacher has leaked the secret?"
Zhuge Liang is going to assist Liu Bei, which is exactly what Mr. Shui Jing arranged.
Apart from this, they could think of no other reason.
"Be careful, just in case!"
Zhuge Liang suddenly became cautious and analyzed everything together.
Of course, he couldn't analyze that there was a time traveler like Chen Zhou, but he agreed with Xiang Lang's statement that maybe someone around the teacher leaked the secret, or there was a traitor, and said: "Brother, please send someone to tell the teacher about me. , I can't stay in Linju anymore, so I'm leaving now. If Uncle Liu Huang comes, help me talk to him."
He had to leave, otherwise he would feel uneasy.
But where to go?
Zhuge Liang thought for a while, and two words appeared in his mind - Huang Family.
Huang Chengyan from the Huang family admires him more. The last time they met, Huang Chengyan said he wanted to marry his daughter to him.
The meeting was in a hurry and there was no time to confirm the marriage. Zhuge Liang thought that it would be easy to find Huang Chengyan and stay in the Huang family for a while. With the protection of the family, Cao Cao's people would not dare to do anything.
"All right!"
Xiang Lang agreed and saw the seriousness of the matter.
Zhuge Liang packed up a few books, took his bookboy servants, and left Xiang's house.
——
The people who can be entrusted with important tasks by Cao Ang and come to Xinye to keep an eye on Liu Bei are still distant relatives of their Cao family and can be regarded as clan relatives.
Cao Gu is exactly that clan member. He is a smart man. Although his force value is not very strong, he can still fight. He is relatively smart. He has certain means to help the Cao family gather information. He is also very low-key. Not many people know him.
Perfect for this purpose.
At this time, Cao Gu had arrived at Linju and had obtained several pieces of information about Zhuge Liang's relationship network.
