"Report!"
Liu Bei has disappeared without a trace!
Upon hearing the report from his soldiers, Cai Mao flew into a rage.
"Where could a perfectly healthy person go?"
"Besides, the four city gate captains of Xiangyang are all my men."
"In Xiangyang, Liu Bei will have no chance of escaping!"
Seeing Cai Mao's confident expression, Wei Yan asked in confusion:
"Are all the city gate captains really your men?"
"And what about Fu Tong, the captain of the North Gate?"
"Our intelligence team in Cao Cao's camp has heard that this fellow has been exchanging glances with Liu Bei."
"So, these are the four city gate captains you mentioned, all of whom are your men?"
Cai Mao was drenched in cold sweat.
Mad!
They underestimated the allure of the Han Dynasty succubus.
Fu Rong was indeed once considered one of Cai Mao's men.
But tonight, he opened the north gate, took Liu Bei with him, and fled lightly, heading straight for Jiangxia.
"Never mind, let's take Xiangyang first and stabilize the internal situation."
"Liu Bei may be able to run away from the monk, but he can't run away from the temple."
Wei Yan said this.
Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, and Zhang Yun nodded repeatedly.
Who is the guest and who is the host? At this moment, the roles have been reversed.
……
On the way to Jiangxia
Zhuge Liang was deeply worried.
The incident happened so suddenly that he didn't have time to send anyone to inform Zhuge Qi and Zhuge Jun.
The two are still left behind in the city.
If Cao Cao's camp hadn't realized this, Zhuge Qi and Zhuge Jun would have been safe and sound.
However, if Cao Cao's camp were to use Zhuge Qi and Zhuge Jun to threaten him, Zhuge Liang would not betray Liu Bei, but he would certainly suffer greatly in his heart because of it.
"Kongming, your sister and brother are blessed with good fortune, so don't scare yourselves anymore."
"Upon arriving in Jiangxia, we will immediately send people to rescue your sister and brother from Xiangyang City."
Zhuge Liang bowed and said:
"Thank you for your concern, my lord."
"Jiangxia is a long way away and requires a boat trip. My lord, you should rest for a while."
Liu Bei looked around at the sky, which was already beginning to lighten, and nodded, saying:
"Alright."
"Kongming, you should also rest quickly."
The two appeared to be in a state of mutual respect and affection, like a ruler and his subject.
Zhuge Qi and Zhuge Jun, who live in Xiangyang, are about to encounter great difficulties.
early morning
At the entrance of Shuijing Academy
Wei Yan personally led a team to capture the "famous heroes" in Xiangyang City.
Wei Yan kicked open the gate of Shuijing Academy.
The two doormen were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground, completely at a loss.
Where is that old man Sima Hui?
"Make him get out here!"
Wei Yan unleashed his full power, scaring one of the doormen so much that he wet himself.
"Who dares to be so insolent at the gate of my Water Mirror Academy?!"
A scholar who looked to be in his early thirties walked out of the courtyard.
Wei Yan's eyes lit up, and he pointed at the man's nose, asking:
"You scoundrel, are you Sima Hui?"
The man shook his head:
"I am Meng Jian from Runan, Meng Gongwei!"
"Meng Jian?"
A look of confusion appeared on Wei Yan's face.
But then, as if remembering something, he pressed on with the question:
What is your relationship with Sima Hui?
As if he had been humiliated, Meng Jian roared in a fierce voice:
"Mr. Shui Jing is my mentor!"
"If you want to harm Mr. Shui Jing, you'll have to get past me first!"
Wei Yan strode forward.
With just one punch, Meng Jian was knocked down.
His personal guards immediately rushed over and stuffed Meng Jian into a large sack.
Ding! You have a new express delivery order. Please check it!
Destination: the residence of the Minister of Rites in Xuchang.
Sender: Wei Yan.
Recipient: Xun Yu.
Seeing Meng Jian captured, Shi Tao (Shi Guangyuan) and Cui Jun (Cui Zhouping) were furious and charged at Wei Yan with their fists raised!
"Pfft"!
Wei Yan could take down a child with a single punch.
Congratulations in advance to Xun Yu, he's got two more express delivery orders!
Seeing that the three most capable fighters, Meng Jian, Shi Tao, and Cui Jun, had been defeated, the other students of Shuijing Academy were devastated.
One of them lamented:
"If only Senior Brother Shan Fu were still here!"
Little did he know that his so-called senior brother Shan Fu was already undergoing labor reform in Xuchang prison, and it was estimated that he might have a chance to get out in a few decades.
But oddly enough.
They searched the entire Shuijing Academy but couldn't find any trace of Sima Hui.
Wei Yan turned around and asked the group of students from the Water Mirror Academy:
"Tell me! Where did that old dog Sima Hui go?"
Wei Yan and Cao Cao's soldiers had absolutely no respect for Sima Hui.
Needless to say, the mastermind behind Shan Fu's anti-Cao Cao rally and the assassination attempt on Cao Cao at the city gate after his return from pacifying the north was Sima Hui!
If this fellow is caught, he won't even qualify to be sent to the Minister's residence; he will most likely be executed.
after all.
This guy had no powerful backing within Cao Cao's camp, nor was he valued by Su Yu, so he had no chance of becoming a special talent like the old Taoist Ge Xuan.
Being treated like a beast of burden—no, even being treated like a hero would be too good for him.
"We will not betray our master!"
"Aaaaaah! I was wrong! I was wrong!"
"My master slipped out of the city two hours ago, and we don't know where he went."
Under Wei Yan'ai's iron fist of discipline, the students of Shuijing Academy spilled all the information they knew.
It was only then that they learned that their seemingly harmless teacher, Sima Hui, had secretly plotted to assassinate Cao Cao twice!
This is like a match-3 puzzle game!
The students, including Meng Jian and two others, immediately severed their so-called master-disciple relationship with Sima Hui.
Actually, it would be a lie to say that they had a deep master-disciple relationship.
They were just gathering together to study, and it just so happened that Sima Hui's Shuijing Academy became their safe haven.
This is like your teacher, who taught you a subject for a year, suddenly breaking the law and being sentenced to prison.
You might think about visiting him and seeing him off.
But if you were asked to go to jail with him, I would naturally refuse with both hands and feet.
Thus, the students of Shuijing Academy and Sima Hui ceased to have a teacher-student relationship.
Among them, Wei Yan handed over all those with potential to Xun Yu.
I wonder if Xun Yu will be so pleased to see so many new cattle and horses being sent to the Minister's residence that he will order all members of the Minister's residence to work a few extra days!
After recruiting the students of Shuijing Academy, Wei Yan suddenly received a plea for help from someone sent by Zhang Yun.
It turned out that after Wen Ping learned of Liu Biao's death, he suspected that Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, and others had killed Liu Biao, so he led his personal guards to attack Zhang Yun.
Zhang Yun had more men, but his command ability was really poor. He was defeated and forced to retreat by Wen Ping, who was outnumbered.
Left with no other option, they had to send someone to ask Wei Yan for help.
"What a piece of trash, he can't even win this?"
Wei Yan expressed deep contempt for Zhang Yun.
I knew this guy was useless back when we were still in Xiangyang.
I never imagined it could be this useless!
How did he get to his current position?
Oh, he's Liu Biao's nephew, a pure nepotism case, then it's alright.
In short, Wei Yan quickly led his army to the scene, first rescuing Zhang Yun, and then surrounding Wen Ping.
Looking at Wen Ping, who was fighting fiercely, Wei Yan decided not to kill him, but to adopt a fair duel.
