Chapter 568: Estrangement

Hearing this, Miao Moqing looked at Zhuge Liang.

"Zhuge Liang? No, I should call you Prime Minister Zhuge. What? You failed to set fire to the mountain, so you want to send someone to arrest me?"

After Miao Moqing finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Yun beside him, with some fear in his eyes.

"Legendary generals are not afraid of my poisonous insects, but Prime Minister Zhuge should be more afraid. Believe me, I am sure that before I die, I will put the poisonous insects in your body, and use me to exchange for Prime Minister Zhuge. I think this is a good deal."

"Why is the girl so angry? She is exchanging her life for hers. This is not something I, a counselor, would do. We are just hiding behind the lord and making some small plans. I brought General Zhao here not to fight with the girl, but just to stop some people."

Zhuge Liang looked at Zhao Yun beside him and nodded.

Zhao Yun immediately turned around and left.

Sun Ce saw Miao Moqing enter the alley, and fearing danger, he hurriedly followed.

As a result, when he was halfway there, he saw Zhao Yun coming out.

"General Sun, it's such a nice day, are you out shopping?"

Seeing Zhao Yun actually come out from where Miao Moqing entered, Sun Ce immediately had a bad feeling.

"Zhao Yun, what did you do to the Miao chief?"

"General Sun, what do you think of me, Zhao Yun, when you say this? I just came here to talk to you, but I don't mean anything else."

"Hmph, Zhao Zilong, I tell you, the Miao chief is from our Yangzhou. If you dare to attack the Miao chief, don't blame us all in Yangzhou for fighting you."

"Yangzhou people? How many people are left in your Yangzhou army? Are they enough for me to kill? If Cao Cao wasn't there, your Yangzhou army would have perished long ago."

For Zhao Yun's ridicule, Sun Ce wanted to fight back, but after a moment of hesitation, he still didn't say it, because Zhao Yun was right!

The conversation between the two was heard by Zhuge Liang and others.

"Miao clan leader, you said before that we can't set fire to the mountain, which is a bit of a joke. This Yangzhou is ours. We have eleven states in the Han Dynasty. Setting fire to the mountain does consume some resources, but compared with the threat of the Gu tribe to us, these resources should not be a big deal, right?"

Miao Moqing looked at Zhuge Liang, and a Gu worm was ready in his hand. As long as Zhuge Liang was controlled, it should not be impossible to force Liu Bei to return Jiaozhou.

But soon, Miao Moqing gave up.

Because she saw that as Zhao Yun left and stopped Sun Ce, another person came out from the corner.

This person was Guan Yu, the strongest legendary general in Gu Rubing's hands.

Gu Rubing's attention to Zhuge Liang was extraordinary. Although Gu Rubing didn't know how Zhuge Liang was sure to meet Miao Moqing, as a counselor, even a legendary counselor, Gu Rubing had to be vigilant in front of Miao Moqing, who was super powerful in using Gu.

Originally, Zhao Yun was sent, but Gu Rubing was worried, so he sent Guan Yu to follow behind.

Guan Yu didn't intend to show up, but in secret, Guan Yu observed that Miao Moqing had one hand behind her back, and didn't know what she was doing. Even Guan Yu was very afraid of such a person.

It's not that he was afraid of attacking himself, but mainly because Zhuge Liang's own strength was too weak.

If Prime Minister Zhuge had any mishaps, he would not have the face to go back to see Gu Rubing.

Zhuge Liang was not surprised to see Guan Yu appear. When Zhao Yun caught up with them, he had already discovered it. Otherwise, Zhuge Liang would not have met Miao Moqing alone without anyone on guard.

But since Guan Yu came out, it means that Miao Moqing is ready to take action.

"Miss, I'm a counselor. You don't need to fight with me, a counselor. Isn't that a bit of bullying? And I don't think you can succeed with General Guan here, so calm down and let's talk."

"Okay, let's talk, but even if Guan Yu is here, I can kill you. The Gu tribe has many methods that you can't even imagine. In addition, if I die, you should remember that one of my tribesmen died, which should have caused you a lot of trouble and casualties, right? That was just one of my tribesmen. If I die, the whole Jiaozhou will be buried with me."

Zhuge Liang's face changed slightly when he heard this.

It's not that he didn't think about killing Miao Moqing here, and he was even ready to sacrifice a city.

On the battlefield, the troubles brought to them by the Gu tribe were far from being comparable to a city. You know, the Gu tribe has massacred no less than four cities.

Zhuge Liang felt it was worth using a city to exchange for Miao Moqing's life.

But from what Miao Moqing said, it would be worth it to exchange the entire Jiaozhou, hundreds of thousands of people, dozens of counties, and all the soldiers that Gu Rubing could mobilize for Miao Moqing.

Zhuge Liang also completely gave up the idea of ​​killing Miao Moqing.

"We didn't set fire to the mountain because we didn't want the Gu worms that the Gu tribe had worked so hard to cultivate to be wasted. You wasted a lot of energy to cultivate a Gu worm, right? Using the Gu worms that you have worked so hard to cultivate to massacre civilians, or even to massacre the city, don't you think this is a blasphemy for the Gu worms? Sun Jian doesn't know how to feel sorry for the Gu worms, don't you feel sorry for them too?"

Miao Moqing was silent when he heard this.

You know, since the Gu tribe came to help in the war, there have been more than ten kinds of Gu insects put on the battlefield, and the number is tens of thousands. Some of them are very difficult to cultivate. The Gu tribe has a lot of reserves over the years, but each Gu insect is the result of the hard work of himself and all the Gu tribe.

Sun Jian's wasteful behavior did make Miao Moqing unhappy, but after all, he was his lord, and Sun Jian also gave him a lot of resources, so he couldn't say anything.

Seeing Miao Moqing's thoughts, Zhuge Liang continued.

"Miao clan leader, our lord didn't choose to set fire to the mountain because he knew that it was not easy to refine Gu insects. I don't have any other intentions, but I hope that the clan leader can understand the importance of following a good lord."

After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, he walked out without looking back.

Looking at Zhuge Liang's back, Miao Moqing fell into deep thought.

When Zhuge Liang walked outside, he saw Sun Jian and Cao Cao, with a luxurious lineup of legendary generals, standing aside, and Zhao Yun standing outside the alley, like a door god, no one could get past Zhao Yun.

"Prime Minister Zhuge, you really made me look for you."

Cao Cao's eyes instantly turned red when he saw Zhuge Liang appear. He was originally in an advantageous situation, but was suddenly beaten into a disadvantageous situation by Zhuge Liang. The West could have been his biggest helper, but now it has become a vortex.

Now it is known that Rome is supported by Sun Jian. The two sides should have shaken hands and made peace to fight against Gu Rubing together, but they both only supported Rome and Anxi, and did not really dominate the two countries. Now even if the two of them came forward and made the two countries shake hands and make peace, they could not do it.

In this battle in the West, both sides invested too much, whether it was funds, territory, generals, or soldiers, they could not stop the war with just one or two words, unless some special means were used.

And Cao Cao also planned to use some special means.

"Prime Minister Cao, what a coincidence! I didn't expect to meet you here. I have now returned to my lord Liu Bei. I would like to thank Prime Minister Cao for his kindness at that time."

"Okay, Zhuge Liang, I am blind this time. Don't let me seize the opportunity. If I seize the opportunity, I will definitely peel off your skin."

"I hope you have this opportunity, Prime Minister."

Hearing this, Cao Cao stared at Zhuge Liang. If eyes could kill, Zhuge Liang would have been cut into pieces.

Not long after Zhuge Liang left with Zhao Yun and Guan Yu, Miao Moqing walked out of the alley.

"Clan leader, are you okay?"

Sun Jian looked at Miao Moqing with some concern. He didn't know what Zhuge Liang said to Miao Moqing, but the other party used two legendary generals, and the purpose must be not simple.

"It's okay, lord, I'll go back first."

After saying that, Miao Moqing ignored Sun Jian and walked towards the inn alone.

Sun Jian's face suddenly became gloomy.

He could feel that Miao Moqing's words to him this time were somewhat cold.

Gu Rubing waited until Zhuge Liang came back and smiled helplessly.

He already knew that Zhuge Liang really called Miao Moqing out.

"Prime Minister, what evil tricks did you use to call people out? Tell the truth, or I won't treat you to a drink!"

Seeing that Gu Rubing was going to cheat, Zhuge Liang smiled.

"My Lord, when I was looking for the Gu tribe, I saw a mountain with a large number of Gu insects gathered. None of the soldiers who went in could come back alive. I saw such a mark around the mountain and studied it carefully. Then I realized that this was the secret code of the Gu tribe. There are dozens of secret codes like this. I have only studied one or two of them. Isn't it used now?"

"You counselors are really too vicious, killing people and destroying their hearts!"

Zhuge Liang didn't care about Gu Rubing's ridicule of him. If this can be called killing people and destroying their hearts, then what about when he entered the game to perform a series of tricks to deceive Cao Cao?

But none of this is important. The important thing is that Gu Rubing said that he would invite all the generals and soldiers to drink.

Zhang Fei on the side was also drooling with greed. When it comes to drinking, he is the happiest.

"Brother, when are we going to have dinner?"

"Open dinner? When did I say open dinner?"

"No, brother, didn't you make a bet with the prime minister? You said whoever loses will buy drinks. Now you lose?"

"Uh, I mean, after we wipe out the Gu tribe, we will have dinner together."

"..."

Seeing Gu Rubing cheating, the smile on Zhang Fei's face collapsed instantly.

Zhuge Liang looked at Gu Rubing who succeeded in his plan, and he was helpless. He knew what his lord was like. If his lord cheated, what could he do as a subordinate?

Miao Moqing's indifference made Sun Jian feel a sense of crisis. He stopped hanging out with Cao Cao and hurried back to the inn.

"Chief, what's wrong with you?"

Entering Miao Moqing's room, he saw the Miao chief sitting in front of the chair in a daze.

When Sun Jian spoke, he reacted and looked at Sun Jian.

"My Lord, how could you enter my room without my consent?"

"This... I just knocked on the door, but you didn't make any sound for a long time. As you know, Jiaozhou is now Liu Bei's territory. I thought you were attacked by Liu Bei, so I hurried in to see you."

When Sun Jian said this, he felt a little guilty. He did not knock on the door. He was mainly anxious to see what Miao Moqing's attitude towards him was now.

The Gu clan is a time bomb, and you never know when it will blow up.

"Lord, I hope this kind of thing won't happen again next time. After all, men and women cannot be intimate."

"good!"

Sun Jian could feel that Miao Moqing was indeed much more indifferent towards him.

"Lord, please stay here, I want to go back to the clan!"

"You don't..."

Before Sun Jian finished speaking, Miao Moqing waved her hand to stop Sun Jian.

"Lord, we have consumed a lot of Gu worms during this period. When I go back this time, I will not only take a look at the Gu clan, but also replenish the Gu worms."

When Sun Jian heard about the replenishment of Gu insects, he couldn't say anything else. After all, the Gu insects released by the Gu clan recently were really harmful, and he still counted on other people's Gu insects.

"Okay, please be safe."

Seeing that Sun Jian no longer stopped her, Miao Moqing nodded, Qiao Zhuang dressed up and walked out of the inn.

However, everything in the inn was under Gu Rubing's surveillance. As soon as Miao Moqing left the room, someone told Gu Rubing about it.

"The Prime Minister is really clever. As soon as we met, the leader of the Gu Clan is going to take us to the place where the Gu Clan is. Shall we set off?"

Seeing that Gu Rubing wanted to follow him, Guan Yu immediately stopped Gu Rubing.

"Brother, you don't have to go, we can go. We legendary generals are not afraid of Gu insects, but if you go, brother, we are afraid of death and cannot protect you."

"Second brother, what you said is wrong. With you by my side, what's the danger? This time, I must see that the Gu clan disappears completely."

Seeing Gu Rubing's persistence, Guan Yu could only look to Zhuge Liang for help.

The dangers of the Gu clan were such that even legendary generals like them did not dare to get involved easily. With Gu Rubing, who had the physique of a second-rate general, the risk would increase exponentially.

"My lord, don't you know what the Gu clan is like? We can't help and we can't cause trouble. Don't forget, we still have Cao Cao and Sun Jian here to keep an eye on. If they all leave, What should we do if Cao Cao and Sun Jian suddenly take action?"

Gu Rubing looked at Zhuge Liang. The reason given by the prime minister was indeed good, but for some reason, Gu Rubing always felt that Zhuge Liang just wanted to say that he knew how to cause trouble. As for Sun Jian and Cao Cao, they had nothing to do with themselves. Zhuge Liang Playing tricks on them is still in your own territory. It's not the same as playing games. What's the meaning of your own existence? (End of chapter)
