Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 264 The first strike is stronger (4000)

But so far, Yu Ji has not asserted that the Chumu Cemetery must be among these mountains.

Therefore, the "coincidence" in Wu Liang's mind is still rootless and needs to be verified by multiple parties.

"In that case, let's not go to Zhuge Mansion."

Wu Liang then temporarily put those messy thoughts aside, and rode away with the two of them.

In this way, they quickly determined the observation point with the best view in the vicinity, and found a way to go up the mountain without going through the Zhuge Mansion at all. Afterwards, the three tied their horses to hide in a dense forest at the foot of the mountain, and walked to the top of the mountain. touch.

en route.

"My lord, your ability really makes me admire more and more."

Yu Ji suddenly said to Wu Liang with emotion.

"What did the old man see from me?"

Wu Liang asked strangely.

It seems that during this period of time he did nothing admirable at all, and he didn't say anything more pretentious. Why did Yu Ji express such emotion for no reason?
"My lord, don't be humble. Although you always call yourself a descendant of a shaman who is not very bright, your ability to become a shaman may have already reached its peak."

Yu Ji said enviously, "My old man remembers, the young master had a shaman when he first arrived in Deng County, and Zhuge Xuan, a man who had never masked his face, appeared in the shaman. At that time, the young master had a premonition that this trip would definitely be with this person Something has happened, and now it seems that if this is where the Qiumu cemetery is located, it is in line with the premonition that the young master has had before. Why be humble?"

"Uh……"

It was only then that Wu Liang remembered that when he had just arrived in Deng County and ordered people to go out to inquire about Zhuge Xuan's news, he had indeed used the excuse of "inexplicable tricks" as a prevarication, but he didn't expect the old boy to take it seriously.

"Since this person has already appeared in the figure of the young master, if this is where the Qiumu cemetery is located, the young master may have to guard against it."

Yu Ji then concentrated his analysis and said, "The old man thinks that this person must have something to do with the Chumu Cemetery. If it is not the tomb guard who guards the place, then he is very likely to be a tomb robber who is deceiving people. No matter how bad it is, he may soon become a son. If the young master doesn't want to cause any accidents to those who hinder him, it's best to give him a preemptive strike!"

"Well...you are right."

Wu Liang nodded slightly, expressing his agreement.

The basis for Yu Ji's analysis is mainly Wu Liang's "ghost appearance". In his opinion, the "ghost appearance" is a warning from heaven, which is absolutely unambiguous.

Therefore, even if it is not necessary to determine the location of the Qiumu cemetery, it is necessary to do something to Zhuge Xuan.

But Wu Liang is very clear that he is not a descendant of the ghost boy, he is just a time traveler who is familiar with history, but... On a certain level, this can indeed be regarded as a warning from the sky, even worse than the warning from the sky. To be accurate, a lot of detail is required.

But history never said that Zhuge Xuan had any secret identity.

It is even more impossible to describe what will happen between him and Wu Liang, a time traveler.

Therefore, Wu Liang can't jump to a conclusion yet, and some verification is still needed.

The first step is to find out whether this place is where the Chumu Cemetery is located. This is the basis of all inferences...

……

After more than half an hour, the group of three finally succeeded in reaching the summit.

Yu Ji climbed down from Dianwei's back, first took a general look around the surrounding mountains, and then took out the compass from the small bag he carried with him and compared it carefully for a long time.

"You can't go wrong, the Chumu Cemetery is here, you can't go wrong!"

Yu Ji looked at Wu Liang with surprise on his face, pointed to the nearby mountains and said with certainty, "My lord, please look, 'Jianxiu Fangyuan rises face to face', it refers to the foot of this mountain, which is an excellent Chaosha. Please look again, my lord, 'the pen rests on the bow and the mat hat' refers to this foot of the mountain, which is almost the same as the record in the "History of Qi"!"

"I remember that the old man once said that as long as he arrives at the place, the entrance of the mausoleum can be counted as good. Now the old man can see where the entrance of the tomb is?"

Wu Liang was also very pleasantly surprised, so he hurriedly asked again.

"Hahaha, that's natural."

Yu Ji immediately straightened his chest, stroked his beard and smiled, then pointed to a place at the foot of the mountain and said, "Young Master, have you ever seen that mountain depression, there is a stream in the valley, and the stream goes further south There are two thick cypress trees at a distance of nearly fifty feet. The old man asserted that the seal of the Chumu cemetery must be between the two cypress trees. Can't go wrong!"

"How can I not believe the old man's words, it's just..."

Wu Liang frowned slightly again.

Because the place Yu Ji pointed to was a little closer to Zhuge's house, Wu Liang visually estimated that the straight-line distance should not exceed one mile, and it was in the "backyard" of Zhuge's house.

Less than one mile is less than 500 meters.

With such a short distance, if Wu Liang led the Tuan army to carry out the excavation work, no matter how careful they were, even if they only worked in the dead of night, it would be absolutely impossible not to disturb the Zhuge family at all.

the most important is.

Standing at this position overlooking the Chumu Cemetery and where Zhuge’s family is located, the fenced courtyard of Zhuge’s family is like a pass, and the reclaimed farmland outside the gate is even more difficult to hide and sneak. The only way to the area where the cemetery is located was blocked, which made people doubt the purpose of the Zhuge family's seclusion here...

Is it?

Wu Liang didn't doubt that Zhuge Xuan was the tomb keeper.

According to historical records, Zhuge Xuan didn't settle here before, but traveled to many places. He brought Zhuge Liang's family here not long ago and lived in seclusion for a short time.

And compared to the rules of Bai Jingjing's family of tomb guards, it is impossible for the tomb guards to be as free as Zhuge Xuan.

So why did Zhuge Xuan build his house here?

In Wu Liang's analysis, there are only two possibilities:

One is that this is a coincidence that cannot be more coincidental, and Zhuge Xuan did it unintentionally;

The second is that Zhuge Xuan has discovered clues to the Qiumu Cemetery, and he plans to do something about the Qiumu Cemetery...

Wu Liang is more inclined to the second possibility.

Because although Zhuge Xuan "admitted" that "Liang Fu Yin" was written by himself, when he said those words, there were some subtle changes in his expression, and he was evasive, and soon led the topic to other places, as if he didn't want to be in this place. Talk more about the problem.

And that crescent-shaped jade pendant.

That thing, Wu Liang, had already seen the era he was in, but he couldn't ask him face to face.

Coupled with the fact that Zhuge Xuan's general inquiry of "investigating household registration" when they first met, now that I think about it, there is no lack of intention to guard against him...

But no matter what the possibility is.

Such a geographical location made it absolutely impossible for the Tuan army to bypass Zhuge Xuan, Zhuge Liang and others if they wanted to excavate the Qiumu Cemetery!
and so.

What Yu Ji said before is "the first to act first" is very necessary!
Otherwise, even if Zhuge Xuan didn't have any soldiers or real power in his hands at this moment, he could still contact Liu Biao, who controlled Jingzhou. If he sensed the purpose of the Tiaoren army and ran to inform Liu Biao, Wu Liang and the accompanying Tiaoren army would meet. It was an unprecedented crisis, and it was a crisis that Boss Cao had no time to rescue. The entire army was wiped out in minutes.

With Wu Liang's personality, he would never take such a risk!
……

Come down from the mountain.

Wu Liang first went back to his residence in Deng County, and then went straight to Zhuge's mansion with a dozen or so Tuan soldiers.

At this time, Zhuge's mansion was still peaceful and peaceful as usual, but Zhuge Jun didn't play on the tree branches by the field, and their mother didn't dry clothes in the yard.

It's almost evening now.

Green smoke is constantly wafting from a thatched hut, and there is some rice fragrance in the air. It seems that they should be preparing dinner...

"A total of eight people, four adults, one male and three females; four teenagers, two males and two females. Don't leave any one behind, find them all for me!"

Leading the crowd into the yard, Wu Liang immediately ordered, "Also, don't hurt anyone. If anyone wants to resist, trap them and ask others to help them take them down together, or use children to threaten them to submit. Don't hurt his life, I will catch him alive!"

"promise!"

All the soldiers responded and moved separately.

The screams and cries of women and children were soon heard in the thatched hut.

However, Zhuge's house was built in the outskirts of Deng County, and it was close to the barren hills. There were no neighbors here, and it was quite far from the road that people usually walked.

Soon after.

The whole family has been captured from the thatched hut by the soldiers of the Tuan Army, and they all rushed to Wu Liang.

"Brother talented?!"

Seeing that Wu Liang was the one who took the lead in arresting them, Zhuge Liang's slightly childish face was full of shock.

A few days ago, the two of them hit it off right away, and even worshiped each other on the spot. Who would have thought that Wu Liang would directly bring so many people to raid his home after half a month?
not to mention.

Wu Liang had nothing to do with anyone in their family, and it was the first time they met each other a few days ago. Zhuge Liang really couldn't understand why Wu Liang did such a thing suddenly.

Not just Zhuge Liang.

Even his younger brother Zhuge Jun and the woman who had met Wu Liang had the same expressions.

What exactly is going on?

"Report! Young Master, there are only these seven people in the house. We have searched all over the place, but we have not found that adult man!"

An officer stepped forward to report to Wu Liang.

The only missing adult was Zhuge Xuan who Wu Liang wanted to catch.

After the last visit, Wu Liang was able to rule out the suspicion of the two brothers Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jun. Even if Zhuge Xuanzhen had any secrets, they probably didn't know about it. Otherwise, how could they bring him into Zhuge's house and tell him With so many words, he won't let him see "Liang Fu Yin".

As for the remaining female relatives, although Wu Liang didn't talk to them, but now that all of them have fallen into his hands, naturally there is nothing to worry about.

The only thing to worry about now is the missing Zhuge Xuan.

If this guy already knew about Wu Liang's actions and still fled, then his "strike first" would immediately fall into a passive position.

This guy can take advantage of the situation to do many things, such as go to the government office for help, or go to Liu Biao to rescue soldiers.

All these actions can bankrupt his plan in an instant, and put him and the Tuan army in danger. All he can do is to give up immediately and escape from Deng County, and maybe he can win a chance...

Officer Wu Liangchong nodded slightly, then turned to look at Zhuge Liang: "Brother Zhuge, where is your uncle?"

"Brother talented, what is your intention for this move, and why do you treat us like this?"

Zhuge Liang looked a little nervous, but still raised his face and asked stubbornly.

"Brother Zhuge, don't be surprised. This matter has nothing to do with you. In fact, I came to Deng County this time to investigate a secret matter under the order of General Liu Biao. This secret matter is closely related to your uncle. Now I have If you find some evidence, you need to confront your uncle face-to-face, and if he is innocent, I can also help him clear his grievances and avoid General Liu's punishment."

Wu Liang said solemnly, "Brother Zhuge is a sensible person. If you know the whereabouts of Zhuge County Prime Minister, you must tell me. Don't kill him because of personal affairs."

"Brother talented, my uncle has always been aloof from the world, and he is even more generous and kind to others. You must have made a mistake!"

Zhuge Liang was already worried, but insisted on speaking.

"I also hope that I made a mistake, that's why I want to ask the Zhuge County Prime Minister to come out and confront him face to face, otherwise the order will be a shoot-to-kill order."

Wu Liang said in a cold voice, "Brother Zhuge, don't be confused. If you persist in your obsession, even you will be imprisoned for the crime of harboring and sheltering. This is something I don't want to see!"

"Whoa, whoa..."

While saying this, there was already a slight cry in the yard.

It turned out that Zhuge Liang's two elder sisters were frightened, cuddled in their mother's arms, twitched their shoulders and began to cry.

The names of these two girls are not recorded in the history books, but it is recorded that the families they finally married into. The eldest sister married Kuai Qi, a prominent family in Xiangyang, and the second sister married Pang Shanmin, the son of Pang Degong, a famous person who lived in seclusion in Xiangyang. Both married very well. .

Of course, apart from the fact that they were born in the gentry, it must also have a lot to do with their appearance.

Especially the eldest sister who looks slightly older.

This eldest sister's appearance and figure are top-notch, especially the pear-blossoming rainy appearance now, which even makes Wu Liang feel a little guilty for his current behavior.

The second sister is a little mediocre, but still above the average.

"My father passed away in his early years, and my uncle traveled thousands of miles to take care of my father's descendants, and he took care of our family like a father. It can be said that his kindness is as great as a mountain."

Zhuge Liang was also silent for a while after hearing Wu Liang's threat, but soon he looked at Wu Liang with burning eyes and said, "Brother talented, although I don't know what my uncle has done, it's for the sake of our sworn brotherhood." , can't you let us go?"

at this time.

"stop!"

A familiar voice suddenly sounded, and Zhuge Xuan walked out from the backyard with big strides.
