Chapter 159
Then Zhuge Liang said goodbye after Sun Quan's banquet, and then went to his brother Zhuge Jin's residence. Then he stayed with Zhuge Jun and Zhuge Ke for an afternoon, and chatted with Zhuge Jun there in the evening, and rested there directly. However, Zhao Yun was kept in the inn.
At about 3 o'clock that night, Zhuge Liang quietly ran out of Zhuge Jin's house, then met with the masters he brought with him, and then began to prepare to escape from Stone City. Because Stone City had no walls, they gave them some convenience. However, Zhuge Liang and others were also in the inner city, with two moats in the middle. Zhuge Liang first swam across the first moat with everyone, and then hid in the homes of the people in the outer city, so of course he had bought it long ago.
Then the next day, the police and inner guards of Jiangdong and the Jinyiwei began to search the city, saying that Liu Bei's envoy Zhuge Liang was missing, and Zhao Yun provided Sun Quan with the letter left by Zhuge Liang: In the letter, Zhuge Liang said that he had gone back to discuss with Liu Bei and then asked Wu Hou to discuss the details of the joint. However, Sun Quan directly stated that the letter was forged, and it was impossible for Zhuge Liang to leave quietly at night, and it disappeared from Zhuge Jin's house. He suspected that Zhao Yun had hid or killed Zhuge Liang, temporarily detained Zhao Yun, and then began a full search.
Zhao Yun had no choice but to pray that Zhuge Liang would be safe. He could not help, but staying behind was to make the greatest contribution for Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang hid in the houses of the people for two days and stayed in the cellar and woodshed. On the third day, Sun Quan also thought that Zhuge Liang's intelligence should have slipped away long ago, so he told everyone not to investigate anymore. He sent brothers from Liushemen to chase Jiangxia. The people from Liushemen said that it was to investigate the case, but in fact it was to fight, and to intercept Zhuge Liang.
No longer strictly investigated here, Zhuge Liang naturally escaped easily, and then fled all the way to Jiangxia. However, the people from Liushuomen here were also chasing the river. Instead, they walked in front of Zhuge Liang. However, after chasing for a long time, they almost chased to Jiangxia and didn't catch up, so they turned around and walked back. As a result, the people from Liushuomen actually found a fishing boat on the way back, and then went forward to investigate. Zhuge Liang's men thought they had been discovered, so they started to take action. When Zhuge Liang reacted and prepared to stop him, it was too late.
Ge Xuan from the six doors here rushed up after discovering that he had taken action. He punched the tiger and the tiger was full of wind, and forced Zhuge Liang to retreat with one punch. Then the two of them fought together.
Zhuge Liang was teasing at this time and knew that if the six captains from the Six Gate gathered together, there would be no place to escape. He greeted all the experts on his side: "Everyone goes up together, rush over, don't worry about the rules of fighting alone in the world. This is a war, and rush over and you will be rewarded."
When everyone heard this, they rushed forward to Ge Xuan. Ge Xuan could not defeat everyone's siege alone, so they had to turn off attack to defend. His White Tiger Fist was not leaking, and he could support it.
At this moment, Zhumao rushed up first and recognized that he was Huang Chengyan's former disciple, so he called out: "Zhumao is from our Huang family. He has come to save us. Everyone rushed over quickly."
Ge Xuan was stunned when he shouted this, and Zhugu himself was stunned, but immediately he realized that Zhuge Liang was cheating him. He was about to speak to defend himself, and Gongsun Luliu's sword had already attacked, while the remaining three head-captains were still quite far away. Although Zhuge Liang had fewer people, he temporarily blocked them. Zhuge Liang said that when everyone was not paying attention, he jumped into the Yangtze River directly. At this time, he was actually not far from the riverside.
After Gongsun Luliu attacked for a while, Mo Jing and Xu Hu arrived. Everyone found that the people in the martial arts world brought by Zhuge Liang had either dived or killed by them. Only the two of them were left to fight here, so they stopped them. Then Zhumao explained that this was Zhuge Liang's conspiracy, and everyone ignored the authenticity. They went into the fishing boat to find Zhuge Liang, and found that there was no one, so they probably jumped into the river.
Then he searched along the riverside for a while and searched on the shore. If he didn't find it, he had to drive a boat back to Shitou City to report. After returning, Sun Quan was very dissatisfied with them, but he did not investigate in depth. After criticizing, he was sent away.
Zhuge Liang hid under the fishing boat. These people in the martial arts world had no intention of being so stupid. They searched everywhere. Finally, after everyone left, Zhuge Liang fled back to Jiangxia with several subordinates who had jumped into the river and did not die. Zhuge Liang was also scared. Fortunately, he had a good water quality, otherwise he would have turned into a dead dragon this time.
After Liu Bei was very happy to learn that Zhuge Liang was back, he said, "Kong Ming, it's good that you'll be back. How about this trip to Jiangdong?"
Zhuge Liang introduced his situation this time and said that Sun Quan wanted to detain him, so he used Zhao Yun to stabilize Sun Quan's suspicion, and then quietly escaped at night, while Sun Quan also sent someone to intercept him on the road. After hearing this, Liu Bei asked, "Kong Ming, if this is the case, will our joint efforts with Jiangdong be gone?"
Zhuge Liang also felt a chill. He didn't care about my situation and his subordinates, nor did he care about Zhao Yun's life or death. However, he had no choice but to cheer up and said, "Don't worry, lord, Sun Quan's purpose is to detain me, because we have a request to him now, and he detained me naturally would not be able to turn against him, so he was fearless. But since I have come back, Sun Quan will also regard it as nothing happened and will continue to cooperate with us."
"What should we do next?"
"I suggest that, first, we should comfort those who have sacrificed their lives, second, we should find a way to find Wu Hou to bring Zilong back, third, we should send someone to send a letter to Wu Hou and agree on a time and place to discuss the joint matter."
"Then what method does Kong Ming have? Will Sun Quan put Zilong back? Now we have something to ask for him. If it doesn't work, we can only complain to Zilong first."
"Lord, don't worry, although we have concerns, Sun Quan also has concerns. We agreed to negotiate on the river and let him return Zilong during the peace talks. After all, he will affect our combat effectiveness and will eventually affect the overall situation of our joint anti-Cao."
"With Kong Ming here, I have no worries. How do you view the specific negotiations? "
"This, just do this! Haha..."
