Chapter 72: Zhuge Liang's Miscalculation

  Since Zhang Wei's death, Qin Feng's days have been very difficult. Although Zhang Zhao did not blame him, the two of them had nothing to say when they met. This depressing atmosphere made it hard for him to breathe.

  Zhang Zhao had a life-saving grace for him, Zhang Wei was extremely close to him, and Zhang Wei's death had a great deal to do with him. At least he failed to protect him. He deeply hated Zhuge Jun, now his mood is just like Zhang Wei's at that time, as soon as he hears any news about him, he becomes very indignant. He can't help but want to plug up his own ears.

  Zhuge was not a peaceful man by nature, and these days the streets of Wu County were filled with news about him. He wished he could kill Zhuge immediately and calm his own nerves.

  However, he did not dare to act rashly. On the one hand, Zhuge Jian was a master himself and had many guards around him, making it difficult to take him down easily. On the other hand, he was Zhang Zhao's house general, and if anything went wrong, it would implicate his lord.

  He locked himself in his room for three whole days before finally making up his mind.

  On this day, Zhang Zhao was talking to Zhang Cheng when a servant came to report that Qin Feng had left and had left a letter for the master. He said, presenting the letter.

  Zhang accepted the letter and read it, then said to Zhang Zhao: "Qin Feng has left, saying that from today on, he will leave the Zhang Mansion and his future actions will have nothing to do with the Zhang Mansion. Moreover, let's spread the news of his departure."

  Zhang Zhao stroked his long beard, pondered for a moment, and said: "He's trying to repay kindness, going to deal with Zhuge Jun, worried that he'll cause trouble for us. So he announced his withdrawal from the Zhang family to clear up his relationship with us."

  "Father, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

  Zhang Zhao said, "To be honest, I also have some resentment towards Zhuge Jun for Wei Er's death. No matter what the reason is, Wei Er died because of him. Qin Feng knows our thoughts, so we need to take action against Zhuge Jun."

  Zhang Cheng said: "I understand, let's follow his opinion and let him do it. At that time, I will secretly send someone to assist him."

  Zhang Zhao nodded and said, "Alright, you give this letter to the King of Wu today and let him remind Zhuge Jin to be careful. This way, no matter what happens, it has nothing to do with us."

  "Still, Father thought of everything."

  The news was quickly passed to Zhuge Jun by Sun Quan, and it was said that Qin Feng had been secretly arrested. He came to consult with Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Jin also rushed over upon hearing the news.

  The three brothers consulted with each other. Zhuge Jin said: "This Qin Feng is Zhang Zhao's house general, how would Zhang Zhao tell us his news?"

  Zhuge Liang retorted: "Now, if something happens to Xiaoyuan, can you blame Zhang Zhao?"

  Zhuge Jin suddenly understood and slapped his forehead, saying: "That old scoundrel Zhang Zhao is really sinister!"

  Zhuge Liang said, "The ones we really need to release are Zhang Zhao and his son. Qin Feng is just a superficial pawn, used to attract our attention. They must have other arrangements."

  Zhuge Jun interrupted, "Second brother, don't analyze it anymore, just say what to do?"

  Zhuge Liang fanned himself with his feather fan and smiled, saying: "Actually, there's nothing to it. Just be more careful."

  He told Zhuge Jin: "Big brother, you send someone to secretly monitor Zhang Zhao and his son's every move, including the activities of their servants. At the same time, send someone to secretly capture Qin Feng." Zhuge Jin nodded in agreement.

  Then he said to Zhuge Jun, "Xiao Jun, you'd better be more careful recently and try to reduce going out. We'll use stillness to control movement. As long as they take action, there will definitely be traces to follow."

  Many people thought it was foolproof. But what happened later, even Zhuge Liang did not expect.

  Following Zhuge Liang's advice, Zhuge Jun also stayed out and spent his days playing cards with Ma Chao and Liu Xun at home. Ma Chao was extremely addicted to gambling and the money he brought quickly ran out, leaving him almost selling his pants.

  Sun Shangxiang saw them playing cards all day without any interest, so she and Huang Yueying studied wedding clothes.

  Huang Yueying opened a package and took out a white gauze dress. She asked Sun Shangxiang to put it on, saying that Zhuge Jun had specially designed it for her.

  This dress is actually a wedding dress of later generations. After Sun Shangxiang put it on, the eyes of Erniang, Huang Yueying and Ling'er were straightened at once.

  Sun Shangxiang saw their expressions and didn't know what had happened, so she first looked at herself, then lifted her head to look at herself in the mirror, and was also stunned.

  She stared at the woman in the mirror in surprise, somewhat dazed. She rubbed her eyes, not daring to believe that the beautiful girl like a fairy in the mirror was herself!

  For a moment, the room was quiet and still, without a sound.

  The second daughter's eyes floated with the handsome face of Zhuge Gui, thinking about his powerful arms embracing her, as if she was wrapped in his body warmth.

  Huang Yueying thought back to her grand wedding with Zhuge Liang, when she wore a red veil and could only blushingly look at her own feet, feeling the man's breath slowly approaching hers.

  Ling'er felt a pang of grievance in her heart, thinking: "Third Brother is so biased, he himself and Ma Dai had a grand wedding, but he wouldn't make such beautiful clothes for me. If I wore such clothes that day, how great would it be?" Her small mouth pouted high up.

  Sun Shangxiang looked for a while, then blushed and covered her bright red face again. After a moment, she couldn't help but look in the mirror, revealing an excited and proud smile.

  I don't know who it was, but someone let out an exclamation of surprise, and a chorus of admiration erupted. Ling'er clapped her small hands and exclaimed: "How beautiful! Xiang'er sister, you look just like a fairy!"

  The second daughter smiled and said: "Our Xiang'er was originally a fairy. Today is the day when the immortal descends to the mortal world."

  Ling'er said again: "Xiang'er sister, San'ge is biased and only willing to make such beautiful clothes for you. He doesn't care about my wedding, I hate him to death."

  Sun Shangxiang took off her wedding dress, carefully wrapped it up, and wanted to take it back to show her mother and sisters-in-law, so they could envy her.

  After dinner, Sun Shangxiang was somewhat impatient to return to the Wu King's mansion. She brought a dozen female soldiers and rode out of the gate on horseback. Han Qiang came up to ask if she wanted someone to escort her, but Sun Shangxiang smiled and declined.

  After passing by the Moon Inviting Villa, on the way to Wu County City, I passed through a vast open space with farmland on both sides. In front of it was a sparse bamboo forest.

  This road, Sun Shangxiang had walked countless times, and didn't pay attention to it, galloping on horseback.

  Suddenly, a trip rope was pulled up in the middle of the road. Sun Shangxiang's horse was tripped and she fell off her horse without warning.
