Chapter Fifty-Seven: A New Assassination Plan

  Zhuge Jin received the letter sent by his brother's swift horse and could no longer hold back the anger in his heart. However, as a senior minister of Eastern Wu, he forced himself to remain calm and went to see Lu Su, showing him the letter. Even Lu Su, known for his calmness and composure, was enraged by Zhang Wei's actions.

  The two came to see Sun Quan and told him the whole story. Sun Quan was also very angry, but he sank into thought and didn't speak.

  Sun Quan is not an ordinary person and will not be swayed by the emotions of ordinary people. His starting point for considering issues is not usually right or wrong, but rather weighing the pros and cons.

  He is now extremely headache, this matter is too thorny. A slight carelessness will trigger a huge wave. The strong enemy of Dongwu is watching, and the military and political unity are crucial for the revival of all industries.

  Zhuge Jun was not wrong, should not die and could not die, but Zhang Wei just wanted his life. He died, Zhang Wei was satisfied, Zhang Zhao was naturally satisfied, and the civil official system was also satisfied.

  But Sun Shangxiang was not satisfied, Wu Guotai was not satisfied, Zhuge Jin was not satisfied, and the military officers such as Lu Su were not satisfied. Even he himself was not satisfied. Moreover, why should Zhuge Jun die? There is no reason at all.

  Then Zhang Wei can only die, from any point of view, he should die. However, there is a reason why he cannot die, because he is the grandson of Zhang Zhao. Zhang Zhao has assisted the Sun family for nearly thirty years and made great contributions to Eastern Wu's importance, which cannot be replaced.

  Sun Quan sank into thought for a while, then turned to the two and said: "You are my most trusted confidants. In your opinion, how should this matter be handled?"

  Just as Zhuge Jin was about to speak, Lu Su pulled his sleeve and stopped him. Book.ha.ha.xiaoshuo.net updated at the first time Said to Sun Quan: "We understand your difficulties, Lord. Why not call in Minister Zhang and listen to his opinion? We'll take care of Zhuge's work."

  Sun Quan thought for a moment and decided it was the best solution. He then sent someone to invite Zhang Zhao.

  Zhang Zhao finished reading Zhuge Jun's letter, his face turned pale and he couldn't say a word. What could he say now about the solemn promise he had made at first?

  After a long while, he said with tears in his eyes: "Wei'er has committed a crime and cannot be forgiven. Let's handle it according to the country's law. I'll have his father bring him back personally and hand him over to the authorities for processing."

  Zhuge Jin and Lu Su did not speak, Sun Quan said: "Alright, you tell his father to bring him back, we'll deal with the situation later." Leaving room for a way out.

  Zhang Zhao's eldest son, Zhang Chengguan, was appointed as a General of the Cavalry. Originally, his relationship with Zhuge Jin was still okay. However, after what happened earlier, their interactions basically came to an end. Mainly because he felt embarrassed to see Zhuge Jin. This time, another assassination attempt on Zhuge Jun occurred, and he hated his own son: "Zhuge Jun didn't provoke you, why did you have to kill him?"

  Upon receiving his father's order, he immediately led a group of men to rush to Yi Province. For more and faster chapters, please go to. Upon learning that Zhuge Jun had already arrived in Yong Province, he rushed to Yong Province. He wanted to protect Zhuge Jun and prevent any unexpected events from occurring; otherwise, everything would be irretrievable.

  "The road to Shu is difficult, more difficult than ascending the blue sky", refers to the fact that Shu country has many mountains and rugged terrain, making it hard to travel. At this time, entering the plum rain season, the roads are even muddier and harder to traverse.

  Zhuge Jun and his entourage were advancing slowly, he was riding on horseback, walking unsteadily in the muddy road. As they walked, he thought to himself: "When can we push out the concrete and repair the road into a concrete highway? We'll do that when we get to Xiliang."

  As they were walking, news came from the front that the mountain road had been washed away by floods and the local government was rushing to repair it. The Shu army's officer suggested resting at a nearby county office first and waiting until the road was repaired before proceeding. More chapters are available at [website]. Zhuge Dan said he would follow his arrangements.

  Two siblings, Liao Hong and Liao Fang, aged 25 and 17 respectively. From Hebei Province, Cang County, a martial arts family. In a dispute with another martial arts family, their parents were killed, and the opposing side colluded with local officials to seize their property. The two were forced to flee and arrived in Yizhou.

  After many days of contact, Zhuge Jun and the two siblings had become very familiar with each other. He listened to their situation, sympathized with their experiences, and promised to help them recover their family property after the Western Liang campaign ended. He hoped they would temporarily stay by his side, free to come and go as they pleased. The two siblings now knew his identity and believed he could avenge himself. They agreed to follow his arrangements.

  In a cave not far from here, Zhang Wei and Qin Feng sat around the fire with others.

  Seeing Zhang Wei's depressed look, Qin Feng comforted him: "Young master, don't be discouraged. The road is difficult to travel at this time, they can't go fast. On the way to Xiliang, we have plenty of opportunities."

  "He has so many troops protecting him now, how can we make a move?"

  Qin Feng said, "I've already told Hu Shang to contact the bandits on Qingfeng Mountain. There are over 600 people there. Our main target is just one person. Last time, someone blocked an arrow for him. This time, we'll gather hundreds of archers and shoot arrows at that one person together. I don't believe he won't be killed."

  Upon hearing this, Zhang Wei's complexion improved.

  After staying in the county government office for a day, the county magistrate came to report that the road had been repaired and said that there were no people within hundreds of miles ahead, telling them to bring more supplies, and many horse-drawn carriages had already been prepared for them. Liu Xun's personal soldier leader praised him and said he would recommend him to Liu Xun, and the county magistrate was also very happy.

  Yesterday, Zhuge Jun got caught in the rain and caught a cold. After taking some medicine and resting for a night, he felt slightly better but still uncomfortable. However, he thought it was no big deal and ordered them to hurry along.

  The commander of the Imperial Guard advised him not to ride a horse anymore, as the weather was bad and getting rained on again would worsen his illness. Zhuge Jian listened to his advice and changed to a carriage. The group set off once more.
