Chapter 67: Zhuge Liang's Substitute

  The funeral procession was on its way to Wu County.

  Zhoa Yun and others wore white clothes and hats, guarding the front and back of Zhuge Liang's hearse, while Zhuge Jun and Sun Shangxiang got into the carriage.

  People say: "If you want to be charming, wear filial piety." Sun Shangxiang wore a white dress, which set off her snow-white and delicate face even more beautifully, stunning Zhuge Jun into stupidity, and he stood there in a daze for a moment.

  Sun Shangxiang saw his silly appearance and giggled: "Look at your silly face."

  He also burst out laughing and said: "Xiang'er, you're too beautiful. I'm so foolish. They say fools have good luck. If I weren't foolish, how could I marry a heavenly beauty like you?"

  As he spoke, he pulled her into his arms and kissed her little face. His short beard made her itch so much that she couldn't help but burst out laughing. Zhuge Jun pointed outside, and she hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand, suppressing her laughter, and pushed his head away.

  Outside the carriage, Zhao Yun heard Sun Shangxiang's giggles and felt depressed: "The military advisor has made a big show of this, making himself bask in the sun; his younger brother is even worse, wearing mourning clothes to flirt with the princess."

  In the Moon Mountain Villa, Huang Yueying was looking at the account book, counting this month's production situation. Fu Bo knocked on the door and came in, whispering a few words in her ear. Huang Yueying threw down the account book and rushed out quickly.

  At the gate of the villa area leading to the factory, several businessmen-like people walked in. Huang Yueying saw this person and immediately left tears of excitement.

  Someone pulled her hand and looked at her affectionately, then came into the villa.

  Close the door, Zhuge Liang looked at Huang Yueying and said with a heartache: "Yueying, you've lost weight."

  Huang Yueying has been waiting for him every day, worried that something might happen to him. She can't enjoy her food and can't sleep well. Obviously, she has lost some weight.

  She could no longer hold back when she heard his words of concern, and cried out "Liang Ge" as she flung herself into his arms, sobbing uncontrollably.

  Zhuge Liang gently patted her back, trying to calm her down. Huang Yueying had seen Zhuge and Sun Shangxiang kissing many times before, so she threw herself into Zhuge's arms and offered him her cherry lips.

  Zhuge Liang was separated from her for a long time. At this moment, the passionate love between them was burning fiercely, and there was another beautiful thing in the world.

  After a long time, Huang Yueying lay in Zhuge Liang's arms, blushing and saying: "Liang brother, you're too powerful." She couldn't say anything more.

  After a while, she curiously asked: "Xiao Jun and others went to pick you up, how did you come ahead of time, didn't you see them?"

  Zhuge Liang said, "Before I left Jingzhou, I was prepared for someone to harm me, so I found a substitute and had him follow me for many days, learning my speech and behavior. He went to Wu County under Zhao Yun's escort and was indeed assassinated on the way, it seems that our opponent is a very formidable character."

  Huang Yueying's heart was racing with excitement, thinking to herself: "If it weren't for the substitute, I would never see him again." She couldn't help but hug him tightly once more.

  Zhuge Liang was provoked by her, and the war began again, but it was a brilliant victory.

  Sun Quan was shocked when he heard the news of Zhuge Liang's assassination. He thought to himself, "How can I explain this to Liu Bei?" and hastily summoned his ministers for an emergency meeting. Just then, a report came that Zhuge Jin had arrived for a visit, so Sun Quan immediately granted him an audience. When he saw Zhuge Jin, he was about to express his condolences, but instead found Zhuge Jin beaming with joy.

  Sun Quan looked at him with a puzzled expression, thinking: "What play is this?"

  Zhuge Jin said: "I report to Your Excellency, my younger brother Zhuge Liang has arrived in Wu Commandery. When will you grant him an audience?"

  Sun Quan asked him strangely: "I heard that Zhuge Military Advisor was assassinated and died. What's going on?"

  Zhuge Jin reported the whole story in detail to Sun Quan.

  Sun Quan burst out laughing and said, "People say that Zhuge Liang has the wisdom of a god, indeed it is so. I reckon this must be one of Cao Cao's tricks, they calculated everything, but were easily foiled by Zhuge Liang's single plan."

  As for what Zhuge Liang had said, he said he would discuss it with his ministers before making a decision.

  Cao Jing was on her way to Wu County when she heard the news of Zhuge Liang's assassination. She was deeply worried and thought about how sad Zhuge Jun would be, so she quickened her pace to go comfort him.

  Simay returned to Xuchang and reported the whole process of assassinating Zhuge Liang to Cao Cao with great joy. Cao Cao had already received the report of Zhuge Liang's death, and was overjoyed in his heart, highly praising Sima Yi. He ordered him to closely monitor Liu Bei's movements, and as soon as Liu Bei clashed with Sun Quan, he would be ready to send troops at any time.

  Zhuge Jun and his entourage finally returned to Wu County. The Inviting Moon Mountain Villa was also covered in white, and he secretly smiled to himself. He had already received news of Zhuge Liang's safe arrival.

  When Zhuge Jun returned, Zhuge Jin also rushed to the Inviting Moon Mountain Villa, and the three brothers were reunited again.

  On this day, Zhuge Jun was chatting with Liu Xun when Sun Shangxiang excitedly walked in and said: "Jun-ge, someone is looking for you. Guess who's here."

  Zhuge Jun really couldn't guess who it was, so he said: "Who else could it be? Of course, it's you, treasure."

  "Here comes your sworn brother Ma Chao."

  Zhuge Jun was overjoyed and hastily went out with Liu Xun and Sun Shangxiang to welcome them.

  The newcomer was indeed Ma Chao. He and Zhuge Jun were really compatible, thinking that his sworn brother's wedding was something he had to attend, so he hurried over in a hurry. This trip also brought back Erniang, Ling'er, Huang Xiaowen and Ma Dai.

  Considering Huang Xiaoyu's situation, before Zhuge Jun's big wedding, he didn't want to let Sun Shangxiang know, so he arranged for her to move into Zhuge Jin's house.

  Ma Chao and the others entered the courtyard, before they saw Zhuge Jun and the others, they saw a handsome general in the courtyard. The man also saw him, and their eyes met, sparking a brilliant spark.
