Chapter 31: The Rescue of Zhuge Liang

  He couldn't let Huang Yueying sense anything, so he said: "Sister, don't worry, they all have heavy troops protecting them, safety is not a problem. This way, if you're still worried, I'll go take a look and remind them to be careful."

  Huang Yueying said: "Alright, you go then. I'll write a letter now and you take it to your second brother."

  Zhuge Jian arrived at Sun Shangxiang's residence and saw the female soldier on duty, asking her where she was, and upon learning that she was upstairs, he went up.

  Sun Shangxiang was playing cards with several "female" soldiers, and when she saw him coming, the "female" soldiers left. He walked up to her, hugged her, kissed her forehead, and then couldn't help but kiss her little mouth again. He said: "Xiang'er, there's something important I need your help with."

  Sun Shangxiang wiped her small mouth with her jade-like hand and said, "What is it? Speak."

  He said: "My second brother is in danger, you have to help me save him."

  Sun Shangxiang is interested in such a stimulating thing and says: "What do you need me to do?"

  Zhuge said: "You pack up quickly, we'll leave now and talk as we walk." He then went downstairs first.

  After waiting for a while downstairs, Huang Yueying finished writing the letter and reminded him again. Sun Shangxiang also came after packing up.

  Zhuge Jun and Sun Shangxiang arrived at the Hou Mansion. Sun Shangxiang informed Wu Guotai that she would be leaving for a few days. She borrowed armor and weapons from the Hou Mansion's guard troops, as per Zhuge Jun's request, and had the 20 servants he brought with him change into them. Sun Shangxiang also set off with 30 female soldiers.

  Zhou Yu was a heroic and elegant figure in Jiangdong, with high aspirations and few people in the world who could be considered worthy by him. After Zhuge Liang arrived in Jiangdong, the two men had several implicit and explicit confrontations, and although Zhou Yu was a brilliant talent at the time, he still felt slightly inferior when facing someone as extraordinary as Zhuge Liang. This gave rise to murderous intentions in Zhou Yu's heart.

  Zhou Yu is not a narrow-minded person, but a heroic figure with great talent and vision. His intention to kill Zhuge Liang is not driven by personal grudges, but rather for the future of Jiangdong. More chapters are available at [website]. The Sun and Liu families are currently united temporarily, but will inevitably become enemies in the future. Why not eliminate the potential enemy as soon as possible? With his mind made up, Zhou Yu would not let Zhuge Liang escape, ordering his trusted men to keep a close eye on him for 12 hours without interruption. After Zhuge Liang finishes performing the ritual of summoning the wind, he will be immediately apprehended. As soon as Cao Cao is defeated, Zhuge Liang will be killed right away.

  Zhuge Jun and Sun Shangxiang rushed to the military camp in Chaisang County, asking the soldiers at the gate, they heard that Zhuge Liang was performing a ritual on the altar, borrowing the east wind, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. He thought to himself: "Just in time." Hurriedly heading towards Qixing Mountain.

  Zhuge Liang ascended the platform to perform his magic, borrowing the east wind. According to plan, he prepared to leave before the great battle began, taking advantage of Zhou Yu's concentrated efforts on defeating the enemy.

  At this moment, he stood on the stage, pretending to continue his performance, but his eyes were fixed on the movement below. Suddenly, his heart tightened. A school lieutenant walked in with a team of soldiers, and he recognized that this person was Zhou Yu's trusted aide. He thought, it's over. He had underestimated Zhou Yu after all, who had sent someone to keep an eye on him long ago.

  Zhuge Liang came down from the sacrificial platform and walked out, but was stopped by the Colonel, who said: "Mr. Zhuge, my family's Zhou Da has an invitation."

  Zhuge Liang was helpless and thought that he could only wait for another opportunity to escape. Suddenly, someone beside him called out: "Second Brother." It was Zhuge Jun.

  Sun Shangxiang stepped forward and saluted: "Second Brother." Zhuge Liang was delighted; they had arrived just in time.

  "Mother wants to discuss something with you, come with me."

  The lieutenant hurried forward to intercept, saying: "Princess, Director Zhou has urgent military affairs to discuss with Mr. Zhuge, please ask Mr. Zhuge to stay for the time being, and wait until Director Zhou has finished discussing with him before leaving."

  Sun Shangxiang's eyebrows were raised in anger, and she scolded: "You have a big nerve, daring to disobey even my mother's orders, do you want to rebel?" As she spoke, she drew her sword.

  Everyone in Eastern Wu knows her temper. This lady is someone you can't afford to mess with, even if you cut yourself it would be pointless.

  The lieutenant did not dare to stop Sun Shangxiang again, and when he heard that it was Wu Guotai who had found Zhuge Liang, he was even more afraid to block him. Zhou Yu only let him watch Zhuge Liang and did not give any other orders. He could only watch as he got into Sun Shangxiang's carriage and left.

  He sent someone to deliver a message to Zhou Yu on one hand, and on the other hand, he dispatched several soldiers to keep an eye on Zhuge Liang's whereabouts.

  The horse carriage had not gone far when several soldiers who were following them were surrounded by Sun Shangxiang's guards. The leader of the 'female' soldier said, "What are you doing following the county master? Are you thinking of assassinating the county master?"

  The crime is too serious, it's a matter of confiscating property and exterminating the family. Several soldiers hastily denied it and didn't dare to follow anymore.

  On the carriage, Zhuge Liang asked: "Xiao Jun, Shang Xiang, how did you come?"

  "Fourth Brother said you're in danger, we've come specifically to rescue you. Haha. Novel website updated at the first time."

  Zhuge Liang looked at his brother with a puzzled expression, thinking to himself: "How did he know I was in danger and just happened to save me? Ever since I came out of the mountains, his actions have always been beyond my expectations."

  Zhuge Jian handed the letter from Huang Yueying to his second brother. Zhuge Liang took the letter without looking at it and put it into his sleeve. He said, "I'm leaving Eastern Wu today, I didn't have time to bid farewell to my elder brother, you guys please pass on a message for me. My sister-in-law is living well with all of you, I'm very reassured. By the way, last time you said you had something to ask me, now's the chance."

  Zhuge said, "Don't you find it strange what happened to the people of Xinye? I don't want to say anything more, I don't want to influence your judgment. I just want to remind you not to trust others too much and be more careful."

  Zhuge Liang remained silent and did not speak.

  Zhuge said: "I brought 20 family servants this time, they are all reliable people, and their families work in my factory, you can rest assured to use them, just leave them to you."

  Zhuge Liang indeed did not intentionally cultivate his confidants, thought for a moment, and accepted.

  They finally arrived at the riverbank, where Zhao Yun was already waiting with over a hundred soldiers.

  Zhao Yun is one of Zhuge Liang's favorite Three Kingdoms characters, who sees him as over 1.8 meters tall, with a well-proportioned figure, wearing silver helmet, silver armor and white robe, holding a long bright silver spear in his hand. His face is handsome, with an air of grandeur, what a heroic demeanor!

  Zhuge Jian had already met many heroes of the Three Kingdoms, but seeing Zhao Yun was still somewhat exciting, with a look of reverence in his eyes. He hastily stepped forward and paid his respects.

  Zhao Yun saw that he was respectful to himself and was delighted in his heart, so he hastily returned the courtesy.

  Zhuge Dan thought to himself: "Zhao Yun is indeed a heroic figure, it's a pity I don't have time to ask him for an autograph."

  After exchanging courtesies with Zhao Yun, Zhuge Dan ordered Li Wei, the leader of his household troops, to protect his second brother well. Li Wei readily agreed.

  As they watched, the boat carrying Second Brother and his companions gradually disappeared into the distance. They were about to leave when suddenly a loud clattering of hooves was heard, and a large group of cavalrymen came galloping towards them.
