Chapter 321: Zhang Ji sends off and recommends Kong Ming
After listening to Dianman's words, Liu Zhang fell into deep thought. If Dianman said it was true, the assassin's target did not seem to be Cai Yan. Otherwise, the assassin would kill Cai Yan with one hit, so how could he shoot on Cai Yan's shoulder instead of
Heart or throat. So Liu Zhang took Dianman to the gate of the mansion and found two guards, one of whom pretended to be an assassin and the other to pretend to be Cai Yan.
Liu Zhang walked to the assassin's angle and looked in the direction of Cai Yan. He found that Cai Yan was still some distance away from the door, and that distance seemed to be enough for a person to pass. Liu Zhang suddenly asked: "Dianman, where is Mrs. Xu standing?"
Location?"
"Stand here" Dianman walked to the position between Cai Yan and the door and said: "At that time, the eldest lady was sending Mrs. Xu out, and I walked faster, so I was in front of them."
"In other words, Mrs. Xu was very close to the eldest lady at the time?" Reenacting the case at the scene gave Liu Zhang some clues
"That's right." Dianman said with a smile: "After Madam was hit by the arrow, she fell to the ground. Madam Xu was right behind her, just in time to hold her up."
Liu Zhang pinched his chin and said: "You stand where Mrs. Xu was at that time."
"Yes" Dianman immediately stood over, but Liu Zhang stood in the position of the assassin and compared the angle of the crossbow arrow. The sharp arrow could just hit Dianman's abdomen a little upward.
"My dear nephew, what are you doing?" a female voice said. It turned out to be Xu's mother who came to visit Cai Yan.
"It's nothing," Liu Zhang said with a smile, "It's so late, and my aunt still comes to see Yan'er. She's really thoughtful."
"Alas" Xu's mother sighed: "Actually, it's my fault. If my wife hadn't wanted to send me away, I wouldn't have been hit by the arrow."
"Auntie, there is no need to blame yourself. If the other party really wants to assassinate Yan'er, even if he hides in the room, it is not safe. Don't let me find out who assassinated Yan'er, otherwise I will make him regret being born in this world."
When talking about Cai Yan's assassination, Liu Zhang gritted his teeth.
"It would be best if we could find out, and it would save everyone the worry." Seeing Liu Zhang's ferocious face, even Xu's mother was a little scared.
"We still have something to do. Auntie, let's go see Yan'er first." Liu Zhang was studying the case with Dianman. Even if he wanted to ask Xu's mother, he would not do it in front of Dianman.
"Okay, my nephew is busy, so I'll go in first." Xu's mother smiled and nodded, then walked into the house.
"Aunt, stop for a moment!" Just as Xu's mother passed by Dianman, Liu Zhang suddenly shouted, startling everyone.
"My nephew, what's the matter?" Looking at Liu Zhang blankly, Xu's mother still kept walking through the door.
"Aunt, on the day Yan'er was assassinated, were you standing in Dianman's position?" Xu's mother passed by Dianman. Liu Zhang found that she was nearly a head shorter than Dianman, so between Dianman's abdomen and chest, it was Xu.
The position of the mother’s throat
"Exactly...exactly..." Xu's mother didn't understand the relationship between Cai Yan's assassination and her position.
Liu Zhang walked to Xu's mother, made a farewell gift, and asked: "Auntie, may I ask if Yan'er used this gift to say goodbye to you before she was assassinated?"
"I don't know either," Liu Zhang said with a bitter smile: "Based on where the assassin is standing, and based on the height of Auntie Yan'er and the angle of the crossbow arrow, I concluded that the assassin's poisonous arrow was probably aimed at you."
"What? Coming for me?" Xu's mother was shocked: "Who is dissatisfied with me and wants to kill me?"
Liu Zhang said in a deep voice: "They are not necessarily dissatisfied with you. These people may be coming for Yuan Zhi. If they really come to assassinate you, I can probably guess who it is."
"Who is it?" Xu's mother gritted her teeth and said, "This person actually uses such despicable means. He really deserves to die."
"A good man will not pay with his life, but the harm will last for thousands of years." Liu Zhang shook his head and said, "Auntie doesn't know something. Mr. Xi, Mr. Guo were actually harmed by others, followed by Gong Jin, and now Yuan Zhi."
Xu's mother frowned and said, "I don't understand what my nephew said. Since you know that someone is plotting against Mr. Guo and others, why don't you take him down?"
"I also want to capture him, or even kill him, but..." Liu Zhang sighed: "This man can be said to have an unpredictable talent. There are only two people under my command who can compare with him, and that is
Mr. Guo and Mr. Jia”
"My son Yuan Zhi is not as good as him?" Xu's mother was still very confident in Xu Shu's talents, but she was a little dissatisfied when Liu Zhang said this.
"Auntie, there is no need to be angry. Even if Yuan Zhi is not as good as him, I will not give up Yuan Zhi for him." Liu Zhang interpreted Xu's mother's dissatisfaction as anger and immediately explained to her.
"Of course, I know the character of my nephew is just what my nephew said. Isn't it a bit too much?" Xu's mother smiled and said: "A person who does despicable things in secret is talented, but how high can he be?
"
Seeing Xu's mother belittle his opponent's intelligence, Liu Zhang immediately understood what she was thinking and couldn't help laughing: "My aunt has some talent that I don't know about Yuan Zhi. She may be among the top ten counselors in the world, but she cannot be among the top five, let alone Guo
Jia and Jia Xu said that Gong Jin was not inferior to him in talent. Those who were superior to him in talent but not under me, as far as I know, there are at least three of them who are called: Wolong and Fengxiao
, Tsuka Tiger Crouching Dragon, Feng Chu is Yuan Zhi's senior brother, Yuan Zhi knows his talent well, but Tsuka Tiger likes to harm people in the dark most."
"What do you mean by the wise nephew, the person who harmed me is the Tomb Tiger?" Xu's mother is not stupid either. Liu Zhang will understand after a little bit.
"Exactly" Liu Zhang said with a bitter smile: "Zhonghu wanted to gain my trust and importance, and even more wanted to monopolize power. Therefore, before defecting to me, he wanted to get rid of all the advisers I relied on. Filial piety, Zhicai has been famous for a long time, and Gongjin is here
Jiangdong is very famous, but Yuanzhi has only recently become prominent, so..."
"Since my nephew knows, why not get rid of this person?" Xu's mother frowned and said, "I think my nephew will not use such a vicious person."
Liu Zhang sighed: "I sent General Zhao Yun there, but it was a pity that not only did he escape, but he almost injured General Zhao."
"No way," Xu Mufeng's eyes widened and she said, "This person actually has such martial arts and can he hurt General Zhao Yun?"
"It's not that he is outstanding in martial arts, but that he is resourceful." Liu Zhang said with a smile: "He avoided our army's pursuit, but set up traps at home. General Zhao almost fell into his trap."
"That's it." Xu's mother breathed a sigh of relief. If Tsukatora was really that great, she would have reminded Xu Shu to pay attention.
The reenactment of the case clarified the assassin's purpose, and Liu Zhang and Xu's mother went into the mansion to visit Cai Yan. As for Dian Man, since he had joined the Tiger Guard, he could only stand guard outside the door, which happened to be with his father Dian Man.
Wei made a couple, but Liu Zhang thought he had the matter figured out, but he only let Sima Yi take the blame.
Cai Yan was getting better day by day. Liu Zhang counted the days and found that he had been in Chang'an for more than half a month. Although there were always battle reports from Jinyang, it would take seven or eight days for Kuai Ma Yi to arrive at the earliest.
, relying on battle reports to understand the battle situation, it was really late to worry about the war, and with the urging of Cai Yan and his daughters, Liu Zhang knew that now was not the time for children to love each other, so he gritted his teeth and led his troops to leave Chang'an. Before leaving, except for the injured Cai Yan, Liu Zhang
, Liu Zhang used his actions to comfort the women.
As for Zhang Ji and Hua Tuo, they stayed in Chang'an to prepare for the appointment of medical officers. Liu Zhang really couldn't bear to let them go back and forth with the two elderly people in their sixties. Anyway, Guo Jia and Zhou Yu had recovered a lot, and Liu Zhang was ready to let them go back.
Chang'an is recuperating. After all, Jinyang is the front line. Even if the two of them want to recuperate quietly, it will be difficult.
At the gate of Chang'an City, Liu Zhang, Dian Wei, Dian Man and five hundred tiger guards were about to leave. Liu Zhang's wives, Zhang Ren, Zhang Ji and Hua Tuo came to see him off.
"Madam, I think it will not be long before our army defeats Yuan Shao. By then, we will see each other every day. Maybe you will be annoyed by seeing me, so why feel sad now?" Liu Zhang was very happy to see his wife coming to see him off, but he
As soon as their little lips curled up, tears seemed to well up. Liu Zhang had a headache. He was not afraid of anything, he was just afraid of women crying, and even more afraid of his own woman crying.
"Husband, you are right. How can a wife find her husband annoying?" Liu Zhang joked, and the sad atmosphere was swept away. All the girls burst into tears and laughed, making Liu Zhang breath a sigh of relief.
"Thank you all for coming to see me off." After appeasing his wife, Liu Zhang turned to look at Hua Tuo and others.
"I hope my lord will defeat Yuan Shao as soon as possible." As a senior brother, Zhang Ren spoke very directly, but it made Liu Zhang feel warm.
"Thank you, senior brother." Liu Zhang returned the gesture with fists clasped.
"That's right." Zhang Ji suddenly shouted, attracting everyone's attention. He smiled awkwardly and said: "Champion Marquis, I have been treating people a lot lately, but I have forgotten an important thing. I picked up flowers outside Wuling City.
Yao, I once met a young man who claimed to be Guan Zhong and Le Yi. I talked with him and found that he was very talented. If the champion is interested, you can go and find him..."
"You claim to be Guan Zhong, Le Yi?" Liu Zhang asked in surprise, "Has he ever revealed his name?"
"He calls himself Zhuge Liang..." Zhang Ji never asked Zhuge Liang's name at all. He only mentioned it accidentally during the conversation. He thought about it for a long time before he came up with it.
"Sure enough, it's him." Liu Zhang shook his head and said, "Is it possible that among all the princes in the world, Liu Bei is the only one who can catch his eye? He actually pursued him as far as Wuling."
Zhang Jixiao asked: "Does the Champion know this person?"
"This man's name is Wolong. He is one of the few top counselors and prime ministers in the world. If you want to give him an evaluation..." Liu Zhang paused and said, "He is so wise that he is almost a demon."
"Hiss..." Everyone took a breath. Even Guo Jia was only rated as a 'ghost genius' by Liu Zhang. They really didn't understand what virtue and ability Zhuge Liang had that made Liu Zhang give such a high evaluation.
"That's it." Zhang Ji said with a smile, "No wonder he doesn't take the world's heroes in his eyes."
"Sir, what do you mean by this?" Liu Zhang asked, and Zhang Ji told him outside Wuling City that Zhuge Liang told him in detail about Liu Zhang's recruitment of doctors. Liu Zhang put his hands on his hands and laughed and said, "I really want to thank you
Kong Ming knows that even if we meet on the battlefield, I will spare his life and take him into my pocket..."...
