"Zhuge Liang studied under Mr. Shui Jing, Sima Hui. Mr. Shui Jing had many disciples."
"Xiang Lang, the magistrate of Linju County, is one of them. He is from the same sect as Zhuge Liang. It is Linju that Liu Bei is going to now."
Cao Gu stood outside the Linju Yamen Office and looked up at the main door of the Yamen Office.
According to the investigation, all this seems to point to Xiang Lang. The person they are looking for may be hiding in Xiang's home. They finally found the target and gained something.
"Young Master is right, as long as you keep an eye on Liu Bei, you can find him."
Caogu said to himself.
If the direction is right, there is hope for catching Zhuge Liang.
Liu Bei hasn't come to Linju yet. As long as they take action now, Zhuge Liang will no longer be Liu Bei's man. As for why he did this, Cao Gu doesn't understand. He only knows that it is an order from above, and it is enough to follow the order.
"tonight……"
Cao Gu was about to prepare and give orders when a man ran back eagerly.
"Chief, there was a carriage leaving Xiang's house just now. The person in the carriage may be Zhuge Liang, and there were a few bookboys with him," the man said.
Cao Gu thought seriously for a moment, his eyes turned cold, and he said, "It must be Zhuge Liang. He must have analyzed something and wants to avoid us. Make preparations and wait until he leaves the city before we take action."
"yes!"
People around you act quickly.
This is Linju, Xiang Lang's territory. If they take action here, they might be chased and killed by the guards in the city before they leave the city.
Let’s talk about everything outside the city.
Cao Gu passed on the order and immediately led people out of the city.
After confirming the direction of Zhuge Liang's carriage, they waited in that direction. They were far away from Linju City, so it would be much safer to take action.
Zhuge Liang was sitting in the carriage, still feeling uneasy. He always felt that something bad would happen to him today. He wanted to read a book and calm down, but his mind couldn't calm down, let alone read the content of the book.
After hesitating for a long time, Zhuge Liang felt upset, but he thought about it and said to the driver outside: "Stop! Change direction, don't go to Huang's house, go...directly to Xinye."
On the way to Huang's house, he felt very uneasy.
There was a feeling that there was an enemy ambushing him on the road, waiting for him to walk into a trap. His premonitions were always very accurate, and he believed in his own feelings. The more uneasy he was, the less he could do this.
Since Uncle Liu Huang was coming to ask him to come out, he might as well stop pretending and go directly to Uncle Liu. This would be safer and there would be no need to worry.
That’s it, happily decided!
The driver changed direction and walked towards Xinye.
Cao Gu was still ambushing on the road, but after waiting for a long time, it exceeded their expected time, and Zhuge Liang could not be seen yet. Just when they were about to send someone to find out, their people ran back.
And told him that Zhuge Liang suddenly changed direction.
"No, chase!"
Cao Gu led people to chase him out.
Not long after chasing, they saw Zhuge Liang's carriage close in front of them. Similarly, the book boy beside Zhuge Liang also noticed what was happening behind him.
"Is someone chasing you?"
Zhuge Liang opened the curtain and looked back. Sure enough, he saw someone chasing him. He frowned and said, "They must be Cao Cao's people. They are here for me. Let's go quickly and speed up!"
"yes!"
Their carriage ran faster.
But the carriage was pulled by a horse. Zhuge Liang plus two bookboys, a coachman, and some books and luggage, there were a lot of things. The one-horse carriage was quite fast at first, but after a short while, the horse I can't keep up with the strength.
Even though Cao Gu and the others were chasing on foot, the distance at this time was getting closer and closer.
There were more than fifty people in Cao Gu's group. They all showed up at this time, and some people drew their bows and shot arrows at the horses pulling the cart.
Herod...
The arrow was very lucky, and it happened to hit the horse and it fell down.
The carriage also turned sideways, and Zhuge Liang and the others were thrown into a panic. When they got out of the carriage and were about to escape, they saw that Cao Gu had led people to surround them.
"Are you Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Kongming?"
Cao Gu asked.
Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "No! I don't know who Zhuge Kongming is. Are these heroes looking for the wrong person?"
Cao Gu narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "If you find the right one, you will know when you take him back. He has been caught."
In his opinion, it is better to catch a mistake than let it go.
Zhuge Liang was in a panic. When he was thinking about what to do, a shouting voice suddenly came.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?"
Cao Gu and the others paused for a moment and looked towards the sound.
I saw the person coming, with a leopard's head and eyes, a swallow's jaw and a tiger's beard, a voice like thunder, and a spear in his hand. It was Zhang Fei.
Zhuge Liang looked at it for a while, then suddenly remembered the characteristics of the three Liu Bei brothers, and asked: "Is the person here Zhang Yide? I am Zhuge Kongming!"
"Do it!"
When Cao Gu saw it, he was about to kill Zhuge Liang with one strike.
Because he also recognized that the person coming was Zhang Fei. He had to chop the man down first and then kill him if he couldn't catch him. This was Cao Ang's order.
call……
When Zhang Fei heard that the person in front of him was Zhuge Liang, he immediately started running.
Seeing that Cao Gu was about to take action, he threw his Zhangba snake spear with all his strength.
Cao Gu heard the harsh sound of breaking through the air and rushed towards him. He immediately put the knife in his hand in front of the Zhangba Snake Spear.
clang!
The terrifying force struck Cao Gu.
The knife in his hand was knocked away, and Cao Gu himself was also knocked away.
The eight-foot-long snake spear was stuck on the ground.
The other members of the Cao family wanted to take action, but Zhang Fei had already rushed over on horseback and shouted angrily: "Seeking death!"
The dismounted war horse raised its front hooves and kicked two Cao family members away.
Zhang Fei sprinted to Zhuge Liang, pulled out the Zhangba Snake Spear stuck in the ground, and knocked down the three of them with one swing.
"Run!"
Cao Gu was almost beaten until he vomited blood.
Zhang Fei's strength is too strong, and they are definitely no match for them.
He can't do anything except run away, and even Zhuge Liang can't kill him.
Zhang Fei came out to explore the way for Liu Bei to see how far it was from Linju. He did not bring any followers with him, but rode his horse forward alone. He did not expect such a situation, and it was such a coincidence. When he saw someone running away, he was about to Chased away.
"General Zhang, please don't chase me."
Zhuge Liang added: "There's no point in chasing him. I'm afraid there are other enemies nearby."
Zhang Fei had no choice but to stop and watch Cao Gu and the others run away. He was angry that he didn't bring more people out, otherwise no one would be able to escape.
"Do you know who I am?"
Zhang Fei asked curiously.
I have never met Zhuge Liang, but he can recognize me.
Zhuge Liang had no choice but to explain: "I once heard someone describe General Zhang."
Zhang Fei was too lazy to think so much. He accepted this reason. He was originally going to find Zhuge Liang, but he never expected to meet him halfway. He said: "My elder brother is looking for you, come back with me quickly."
Zhuge Liang sighed helplessly. He couldn't pretend now even if he wanted to. He originally wanted Liu Bei to come and test Liu Bei's sincerity, so he had to skip this step.
Returning to Liu Bei's team, Zhang Fei shouted excitedly: "Brother, I found Zhuge Kongming!"
