"crunch-"

With a dull sound, the gate of Chengdu suddenly opened like a dormant giant beast.

"Da da da--"

Five fine horses roared out into the dawn light, each ridden by a young knight, one man and four women.

The man is Guan Suo, and the women are Hua Man, Bao Sanniang, Wang Tao, Wang Yue...

Guan Suo, who was in the lead, looked a little tired, especially his crotch, where his thigh touched the horse's back. He felt some sharp pain for some unknown reason due to the violent shaking!
It's like it would hurt even if the trouser fabric stuck to it... Not the kind of heart-wrenching pain, but a faint, empty feeling.

It hurts...

That’s right, at this moment, Guan Suo really felt a pain in his balls!
Of course, this so-called symptom of "weak waist and knees, fatigue, listlessness, and stars in the eyes"... is not normal for Guan Suo, but... this night, he was really drained, as if he was overdrawn.

Instead, it was the four beauties who traveled with Guan Suo.

——Hua Man, Bao Sanniang, Wang Tao, Wang Yue…

Their expressions formed a stark contrast to the exhausted Guan Suo.

Their complexions are as bright as stars, each one is full of energy and vitality, and they show endless charm everywhere, just like the rising sun, brilliant and dazzling.

“Hurry, hurry—”

Hua Man rode her horse and came to Guan Suo's side. She looked at him with affection, "Father only summoned five women into his tent at most, but Guan Lang is even better, he has one more than father! Barbarian women...just like this kind of manly charm!"

Having said that, Huaman squinted at him and smiled.

Then she carelessly shouted "Go!" and whipped Guan Suo's horse hard. The horse ran faster in pain, and Guan Suo felt like his balls were about to break.

At this time, Wang Tao and Wang Yue also rode over on horseback. They both looked at Guan Suo at the same time. Wang Tao pouted, snorted, made a face at Guan Suo and ran away.

Wang Yue seemed to want to say something several times but stopped herself. In the end, she pouted, as if she had endless stories and aftertastes.

She even ran away embarrassedly.

Yes, last night... Guan Suo was like this and that, but how could he have done without the blessing and help of Wang Yue... that "fan" of hers, she was a god's assist!

Now thinking back, Wang Yue's mind is full of images that are not suitable for children, just like stacking people...

I shook my head violently. I couldn't let my imagination run wild like that anymore.

There will be...there will be a reaction.

Wang Yue also swung the whip violently, and the horse ran very fast, instantly surpassing Guan Suo... and galloping forward.

The last person to arrive on horseback was Bao Sanniang. She was originally blowing air from her mouth, as if she was angry or jealous. But when her eyes met Guan Suo's, where was the slightest bit of anger left?
Forgive...

Yes, it was forgiven so easily.

How do you say that?

Although Guan Suo is a scumbag, Bao Sanniang can't help but like him...

From ancient times to the present, bad men have always been naturally attractive to young girls.

Of course, forgiving in the heart is one thing, but it is not so easy for Bao Sanniang to forgive Guan Suo verbally.

"What? You were so fierce last night? Now... you are just like this?"

After saying this… Bao Sanniang glared at Guan Suo with a resentful look, then quickly rolled her eyes and said quietly, "Can you do it or not?"

After saying this, he whipped the horse hard, and the horse felt the pain and ran away very fast.

Bao Sanniang is gone...

But Guan Suo was suddenly stimulated by Bao Sanniang's words, and the man's competitive spirit and desire to survive suddenly surged in his heart.

What's more? Is it okay?
This is simply a blatant questioning of men?

Can a man be questioned? Of course not.

Guan Suo immediately endured the pain in his crotch and waved the whip. The chestnut horse seemed to understand and its hooves moved as fast as the wind.

The five-person horseback riding team, consisting of one man and four women, was moving very fast for a while.

...

...

"Uuuuuu——"

"Hoohoho-"

Humans and beasts roared together, making loud and barbaric noises.

The barbarian king Meng Huo sat high in the middle of the big tent, and below him were a group of tribal leaders and cave masters.

Wutugu, the king of the southern barbarian Wuguo Kingdom, sat in the first seat.

King Duosi, the wisest man of the Southern Barbarians, sat in the second seat.

All these barbarians looked out with curiosity and hostility at the chief think tank of the Han army - Zhuge Liang!

Mrs. Zhu Rong was sitting behind Meng Huo. Because of the death of her daughter Hua Man, the moment she saw Zhuge Liang, she couldn't help but reach behind her to grab the flying knife.

By the way, it is said that Madam Zhurong is a descendant of the fire god Zhurong. Her weapon is a 10-foot-long spear and she has five flying knives on her back. Within twenty steps, she can throw the knives and take people's heads as easily as taking something from a bag.

The cave master, brought by Zhu Rong's younger brother, noticed his sister Zhu Rong's mood. He tried hard to wink at his sister, and Zhu Rong's eyes met his. He knew that his brother was reminding him that the Barbarian King would deal with Zhuge Liang and she did not need to act on her own.

At this time...

Cheng Yu led Zhuge Liang into the tent.

Zhuge Liang held a fan in one hand and put the other behind his back as he walked into the barbarian's tent with a graceful demeanor. Two Taoist boys followed him, one of whom was stopped and waited outside the tent, while the other took off his weapon and slowly followed Zhuge Liang.

Upon seeing Meng Huo, Cheng Yu bowed and introduced him: "Barbarian King, this is the military advisor and general of Shuzhong, the one who made that big-eared thief so successful, the famous Sleeping Dragon Zhuge Kongming——"

Zhuge Liang also bowed and said, "Mr. Cheng, thank you for your praise. I don't deserve such a great reputation, but I am here to serve as an envoy to the Barbarian Army in the name of the Emperor's uncle, to pay my respects to the Barbarian King, and to clear up any misunderstandings... This is the purpose of this trip!"

Ever since Zhuge Liang entered the room, the Barbarian King Meng Huo had been glaring at him but said nothing.

Zhu Rong beside him, and the cave masters and leaders around him, also had their back teeth clacking.

But no one spoke, no matter who it was.

They were like looking at their prey, or rather... waiting for the prey to make its final plea.

At this time, Zhuge Liang noticed that Meng Huo was wearing plain leather, all white from head to toe. Zhuge Liang asked knowingly: "May I ask, King Barbarian, why are you dressed like this today?"

This undoubtedly made Meng Huo even angrier, and it also provoked him to roar: "My daughter died in your Chengdu, and was killed by you? She liked your Han people's etiquette, and I wore this white mourning dress to pay tribute to her? It also bothers you, Sleeping Dragon, right?"

You're welcome——

Cold words——

From Meng Huo’s tone, Zhuge Liang could sense that this misunderstanding was... too deep.

I'm afraid it can't be explained with just a few words.

Cheng Yu seized the opportunity and added: "Zhuge Kongming, why are you here? I know, and the Barbarian King knows it too! The hatred of killing a daughter is irreconcilable. If you want to shake hands and make peace, just give up on this idea. You also saw that the Barbarian King specially boiled the pot for you outside the tent? You can't escape the fate of being cooked today... Before you die, do you have anything else to say?"

Cheng Yu thought that Zhuge Liang came here because of the disparity in strength and wanted to use his own name to eliminate the hatred of the Barbarian King, so as to let Chengdu go and let go of the millions of people in the entire Shu. But at this moment, the arrow is on the string... How can he cancel the plan to attack Chengdu just because of him?

Haha…delusion!
Cheng Yu felt that Zhuge Liang was delusional. He even had a feeling that this Zhuge Liang... was not as powerful as the rumors said in the past. He was a bit like a crane that could not dance.

Following Cheng Yu's words, everyone's eyes turned to Zhuge Liang.

Some wanted to see him laugh, others wanted to see his fear.

Unfortunately, Zhuge Liang's expression remained normal, and his eyes were as calm as a lake.

He just said lightly, "It turns out that the Barbarian King's big pot was really prepared for me--"

Having said this, he paused for a moment, then slowly turned his head away...

"What? Are you scared? Want to run away?" Cheng Yu asked quickly.

"No!" Zhuge Liang shook his head slightly and sighed, "Everyone has to die, what's so scary about that? But, I just think, it's a pity that more than 200,000 people here will be buried with me. This is a great sin. This is Liang's great sin——"

As he spoke, Zhuge Liang stepped out the door and walked towards the big pot.

"Wait, what do you mean?"

At this time, King Duosi shouted and wanted to stop Zhuge Liang.

But Cheng Yu said quickly, "Master, please don't stop him. This guy is very good at being mysterious. In the past, at the Battle of Red Cliff, he silenced all the scholars in Jiangdong with his clever words. Let him go, let him go. Let's see if he has the courage to jump into the hot pot."

Sure enough, following Cheng Yu’s words.

King Duosi looked at Meng Huo, who nodded slightly to show his support for Cheng Yu. King Duosi then stopped talking.

Just watching Zhuge Liang walk out step by step.

“Tap…tap…”

The footsteps were deep and heavy.

When Zhuge Liang approached the hot pot, all the cave masters and leaders, including Meng Huo, rushed out of the tent and stared at Zhuge Liang with frowns.

But apart from his back, the only thing that could be heard were the four words "this crime is of the greatest magnitude".

"Mysterious—"

Cheng Yu bit his lip, thinking in his mind, let alone whether the invasion of the southern barbarians can eventually turn the tide of the war.

Even if we can kill Zhuge Liang today, this operation will be a huge gain! We can already report to the King of Wei——

This thought just came out.

Accompanied by a voice saying, "Liang's crime is extremely serious—"

Suddenly...

"Boom, boom, boom—"

A huge explosion suddenly sounded, right at the foot of Lutou Mountain, at the foot of Luofeng Slope, just outside the barbarian army brigade...

Countless explosive packs exploded simultaneously——

The rumbling sound lasted for a long time, shaking the earth!

The entire rock was blown apart and shattered... The entire barbarian army was filled with broken rocks falling everywhere.

The barbarian army had not yet reacted to the sudden noise, explosion, and rocks, but the beasts in the army had already anticipated the signs.

They seemed to feel the threat to their lives and the breath of death, and these well-trained animals tried desperately to break free from their trainers.

Some broke free and started running around the military camp, while others went crazy and bit anyone they saw.

It seemed that the explosion... startled them.

The entire barbarian army of more than 100,000 collapsed and fell into chaos overnight.

And the explosion continued...

The sound of the explosion did not stop until countless pieces of rubble piled up around the barbarian army's formation.

But even so, even though the explosion did not hurt the barbarian army... the chaos lasted for a full half incense stick of time... with the efforts of the Barbarian King, tribal leaders, and cave masters, the entire army... was finally stabilized.

Until then...

Meng Huo suddenly realized a serious problem.

Zhuge Liang——

This explosion——

That hot pot -

He quickly turned around and looked in the direction of the hot pot.

But at this moment... the hot pot had already overturned to the side in the chaos, and the hot water was flowing on the gray ground, flowing among the small pieces of gravel that had smashed into the army.

When the dust settled, Zhuge Liang was standing not far from the hot pot, and Cheng Yu was there too.

But... compared with Zhuge Liang's consistent calmness and composure, Cheng Yu's face looked a little ugly and a little frightened, as if he had thought of something terrifying.

Meng Huo was already taking two steps at a time, walking towards Zhuge Liang eagerly. When he was ten steps away from Zhuge Liang, he stopped.

The hatred and loathing in his eyes had turned into confusion and horror.

He pondered for a moment before chanting.

"This explosion is...is..."

Without waiting for him to finish his words, Zhuge Liang slowly raised his head, met his complicated gaze, and gently waved his feather fan to clear away the dust that separated the two of them.

Zhuge Liang opened his mouth in an extremely slow tone.

"After all, the pot is overturned!"

"So now, can the Barbarian King sit down and talk with Liang?"

This…

Zhuge Liang's voice was neither loud nor fast, and he didn't even have any aura at all, but inexplicably, an overwhelming sense of oppression surged towards Meng Huo.

It frightened Meng Huo and made him feel cold all over...

He finally understood what it meant to use the most gentle tone to express the most domineering behavior.

He finally realized that to deal with more than 100,000 barbarians, he didn't need too many people. Zhuge Liang alone was enough.

...

...

"Aunt, last night, were you also——"

On the Jinniu Road leading from Shuzhong to Hanzhong, in an ordinary farmhouse, Zhang Yulan and Zhang Qiying, an aunt and niece, are moving their horses to the stable behind the house.

At this time, Zhang Qiying, who had not uttered a word all the way, couldn't help but ask this question.

She seemed to be hesitant to say the second half of the sentence, and she couldn't utter it because... when talking about this topic, everything that happened from last night to this morning... couldn't stop flooding into her mind.

First, last night, she clearly remembered that a handsome young man with a graceful demeanor defeated the six priests of their Five Pecks of Rice Sect by himself, and while rescuing Hua Man, he also wanted to hold her and her aunt hostage.

Later, he remembered that the young man suddenly sprinkled his aunt's Datura pollen on his and his aunt's face, and then she seemed to know nothing.

Of course, it’s not like I don’t feel anything…

Because the night was very long, she woke up in the middle.

But when she woke up, she saw her aunt and... and the young man... engaging in an indescribable and extremely crazy scene...

Zhang Qiying didn't dare to think about it too deeply.

Because of the story that followed, Zhang Qiying didn't know why.

As if she was under some irresistible force, she also took the initiative to pounce on the handsome young man like her aunt. She was even more proactive than Zhang Yulan!

Zhang Qiying didn't know that all this was caused by Guan Suo accidentally knocking over Wang Yue's medicine bottle.

But...it doesn't matter anymore!
What Zhang Qiying knew was that after this night, the Saint of the Five Pecks of Rice Sect... would no longer be holy, and the Ghost of the Five Pecks of Rice Sect would also...

With a "gulp" sound, Zhang Qiying couldn't help but purse her lips...

Her eyes moved upwards tentatively, as if trying to peek into her aunt's expression.

"call--"

At this moment, she heard her aunt Zhang Yulan's faint exhalation, and then Zhang Yulan pulled Zhang Qiying aside and held her shoulders with both hands.

"I don't know, I don't know anything, Qiying... You are the same as me, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know anything..."

Although Zhang Yulan's voice was low, there was an irrepressible sense of shame and guilt.

In fact, when the two of them woke up early this morning, Guan Suo had already woken up and introduced himself.

Zhang Yulan and Zhang Qiying knew at that time that the young man in front of them, who was destined to have an inseparable and complicated relationship with them, was Guan Yu's fifth son.

——Guan Suo, Guan Weizhi!

Guan Suo's attitude was also clear. He hoped that they would tell him their identities truthfully. No matter what had happened before, it would all disappear after this night.

Guan Suo even added that he was not an irresponsible man and he wanted to bring both of them into the Guan Mansion.

Nature…

Zhang Yulan and Zhang Qiying's identities prevented them from telling Guan Suo all the truth, and they would not agree to his request.

In the end, Zhang Yulan and Zhang Qiying only asked Guan Suo for two horses, and Guan Suo did not make it difficult for them, so the two women left...

Until the end of the day, until this time, the aunt and niece did not speak to each other.

But the atmosphere in the air was extremely solemn and complex.

It seems like they find it difficult to face themselves, to face each other, and to face the Five Pecks of Rice Sect.

"Aunt...but..." At this time, Zhang Qiying gritted her teeth and asked again: "But our action failed, even we...even we...also..."

"Don't say anything, don't say anything..." Zhang Yulan bit her red lips tightly. She pondered for a long time before muttering, "Just remember that our action failed... Nothing else happened, nothing... nothing happened——"

call…

This…

Zhang Qiying couldn't help but lower her head.

Zhang Yulan raised her head and looked at the moonlight shining through the dark clouds.

"Ah... alas..."

With that faint sigh, she walked forward step by step, looking extremely melancholy.

Perhaps, she thought, what’s over is over, that night is over.

But in fact, some things leave marks, and once they happen, they are in the past. This is true for Zhang Yulan and Zhang Qiying...

Because… because within two or three months, they will find that their connection with Guan Suo, the fifth son of the Guan family, Guan Weizhi, cannot be severed at all—

This will also be the time when Zhang Lu, the leader of the Five Pecks of Rice Sect, will make the final decision between "Wei" and "Han"...

The most, most, most, most important reference——
