Zhang Da was surprised that this matter actually involved Sima Yi again. This man is really haunting!

This just shows that Sima Yi and his defeat in the Battle of Hanzhong are inextricably linked!

Sima Yi, the founder of the Three Kingdoms' return to Jin in later generations, actually started planning before Cao Cao was still alive. Even Cao Cao, who was suspected of being seriously ill, didn't get the handle. This shows that he had ulterior motives and how deep he was hiding!

At this time, Zhang Da made up his mind to hide this secret message and go to Cao Pi to report him!

Zhang Qiying looked at Zhang Da's back and suddenly whispered:

"General Zhang, the daughter of the people has a heartless request... I hope you can agree!"

Seeing that it was Zhang Qiying who spoke, Zhang Da nodded and waited for Zhang Qiying to continue speaking.

"All the folks in Wudoumi Villa have been arrested! I hope the general can save them. They are all pitiful people who have escaped from the world..."

Zhang Da bowed to Zhang Qiying and said boldly:

"What do I mean? It's my duty to save lives and help those in need, let alone Miss Qiying speaking..."

Hearing Zhang Da's last sentence, Zhang Qiying immediately blushed and bowed to Zhang Da.

After coming out, Zhang Da stared around and felt that the mountains within a few miles were interlocking and endless. Judging from the shape of the mountain, the others must also be imprisoned not far away.

However, he and Wang Xiaowu were locked up alone because of their special status.

After a while, Zhang Da and the others finally found the imprisoned people.

Zhang Da rescued them, and everyone was grateful. Even the taciturn Uncle Liang looked at Zhang Da differently.

Later, Zhang Da discovered a secret room among them.

In addition to some gold and silver jewelry piled up in the secret room, there was also a dusty box.

Zhang Da opened the box on the side and saw a lot of bamboo slips inside. He immediately started to look through it. The more he looked at it, the more shocking it became!

The contents in these bundles of bamboo slips are actually shocking secrets!

Many of the wandering lords sent out by Si Juncao were from the Sima family! Even the wily Jia Xu did not notice this.

They were also members of the Sima family, who tampered with the time in the intelligence sent by Hanzhong Youxiao, and then killed them to silence them!

The most shocking thing is that in addition to secretly colluding with the Five Immortals Sect, Sima Yi also supported his own troops! He has trained many of his own dead soldiers in Shu, and even the Shu Han people don’t know about this!

No wonder he was able to end this chaotic world of disputes and unify the Three Kingdoms. It turns out that this son has such a deep scheming, such a wonderful layout, and his actions are so secretive!

Sima Yi can restrain Shu and Wei with just one person. When Wei's national power is exhausted, he will rely on his own accumulation bit by bit to occupy the magpie's nest.

Zhang Da did not expect that this matter would be so complicated, and that a battle in Hanzhong would involve so many secrets.

He sorted out the useful bamboo slips and handed them all to Wang Xiaowu.

Zhang Da suddenly took a breath.

This child must not be kept.



Little did they know, in the dense forest opposite the cave entrance, a person said the same thing as Zhang Da.

"I didn't expect that things would happen after all. I really shouldn't have left this matter to unreliable people!"

"Five Immortals Sect...haha, it's just a joke!"

"No matter what, you must die here this time!"

Ever since Zhang Da left Luoyang, Sima Yi had been feeling uneasy after learning that it was him who was secretly investigating Hanzhong. He always felt like something was about to happen...

After all, Zhang Da's ability is very strange. If he really finds out something, it will be extremely detrimental to him.

Thinking of this, he claimed that he was recovering from illness and secretly left Luoyang City under the cover of darkness that night.

"Zhongda, what can we do? If Zhang Da takes these evidences back, our Sima family's plan will be in vain!"

Next to him, one of Sima Yi's brothers saw Zhang Da discovering the secret and asked anxiously.

Sima Yi's eagle eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of ruthlessness.

"Do you think he can leave Hanzhong alive?"

"No matter what, we cannot let him leave. This is Hanzhong. Since Zhang Da is seeking death, let him stay here forever!"

"Notify us, let all our dead soldiers nearby be dispatched, and block all roads heading north!"

"Set ambushes in various places, and shoot and kill Zhang Da if he appears!"



After Wang Xiaowu had sorted everything out, Zhang Da was ready to go out with them and return from the original route.

Because of the secret of this matter, there is no time to delay!

Unexpectedly, just as everyone exited the cave.

Under the sudden darkness of the sky, flying arrows poured out from the sky. Countless arrows whistled in mid-air, attacking the narrow entrance of the cave.

"Swish~, swish~" and so on, one after another, the sound broke through the air and came towards this group of innocent people.

The people of Wu Dou Mi Villa who had just been rescued were not prepared at all, and for a while there were bursts of wailing and screaming...

There were old people who were declining, and there were innocent children...Many innocent people died under this overwhelming rain of arrows.

Some strong men saw that the situation was not good and hurriedly protected their family members, but they themselves were shot through by sharp arrows one after another.

I don’t know whose husband or father…

As these people fell, Zhang Qiying cried out again and again, deeply hurting Zhang Da's heart.

"Uncle Liang! Uncle Wu! Uncle Zhou..."

Every sound became weaker and weaker, Zhang Qiying almost went crazy!

These are the uncles who watched him grow up. They once followed Zhang Lu in many battles and loved her like a daughter. Unexpectedly, they died here.

Zhang Da quickly grabbed Zhang Qiying who was about to pounce, but Zhang Qiying couldn't break away and could only vent her anger on Zhang Da without any purpose. Even so, he didn't let her go.

Seeing that the arrow was not stopping, Zhang Da called the remaining people to hide in the cave.

Outside the entrance of the cave, corpses lay everywhere in an instant, and blood flowed into rivers, just like purgatory on earth.

Zhang Da shouted coldly:

"Who is out there? You are so heartless and crazy, you will be punished by God!"

Unexpectedly, there was no response from outside for a long time.

Instead, the light coming from the entrance of the cave was blocked by the pushed boulders, followed by bursts of pungent smoke!

The people outside actually wanted to choke them to death!

"Xiao Wu, take everyone with you quickly to see if there is a path to escape from the cave!"

Seeing this situation, Wang Xiaowu immediately started to investigate around.

After a while, Xiao Wu found a small hole.

Just when Zhang Da was about to go out to explore the road first, Wang Xiaowu seemed to have a premonition of something.

He quickly grabbed Zhang Da's sleeve and said, "General, I'm short and it's easy to get through. Why don't you let me explore the wind first?"

Hearing this, Zhang Da didn't think much about it.

Nodding towards Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu also smiled stupidly back at Zhang Da.

Just like when he first met Zhang Da.

Seeing Xiao Wu successfully exiting the cave, the people next to him should follow closely.

Suddenly, a ruthless arrow pierced Xiao Wu's chest, and Wang Xiaowu fell to the ground instantly.

"General Zhang..."
