Diao Chan was the most beautiful woman in the Three Kingdoms when she was young. Now she is only in her thirties, and her charm is even better than before.

And his daughter, Lu Diaozhi, is definitely a beauty with a stunning appearance.

When he was still a minor in Xuzhou, countless aristocratic families came to discuss marriage, and they almost broke down the threshold of his house.

As a result, the young man in Wolong Village was not kind to the two of them.

He brought two bowls of porridge and asked them whether they wanted 50 cents or 30 cents.

But Lu Diaozhi didn't care about it at all. He just looked at the porridge and asked:

"Did you cook all this? Then I want to eat a bowl too!"

"Okay, then I'll give you 80 wen!"

"No, I want to eat three bowls anyway. I'll give you 240 coins!" said Lu Diaozhi.

Who would have thought that Zhuge Tian, ​​who was always obsessed with money, would actually shake his head.

"You've been hungry for too long. You can't eat too much at once. Two bowls is the limit."

Then he ignored her and looked at Diao Chan: "Where's my aunt?"

"Auntie?" It was the first time that Diao Chan heard such a strange name, but there was the word "Auntie" in it, so she thought it was referring to herself.

"I'll just have a bowl of fish porridge."

"it is good!"

Zhuge Tian prepared eight bowls of porridge, four bowls of each flavor.

The ideal situation is that two people can each buy two bowls, but unfortunately this KPI was not achieved.

He walked to the bedside, pulled out a small table from the side, folded it and placed it horizontally in front of the two of them.

"This bed actually... has such a wonderful idea!" Diao Chan didn't expect that a bed would have such a mechanism.

"Well, it's designed this way because some patients need to eat in bed." Zhuge Tian said honestly, "But don't worry, these expenses are included in the treatment fee."

Diao Chan: "..."

I have never seen a child who asks for money like this.

But even though Zhuge Tian wanted money for everything, he didn't make her feel materialistic at all.

Lu Diaozhi was already taking the porridge handed to her by Zhuge Tian and started drinking it with gulps.

Zhuge Tian put the remaining porridge on the tray and was about to leave, but was stopped by Lu Diaozhi.

"Just eat here with me. Tell my mother about the current situation."

"it is good!"

Zhuge Tian was not polite either. He sat on a stool on the side, sipping porridge while recounting the story of Lu Bu's attack on Cao Cao and the invasions from the north by the Wuhuan, Xiongnu, Qiang and other tribes.

"Those Hou Cheng colludes with to hunt us down seem to be the Huns!"

"Yes! That's right!" Zhuge Tian nodded. "A few of the injured ones who didn't escape were recaptured. Although they didn't say anything during the interrogation, they did have tattoos of the Golden Man offering sacrifices to heaven on their chests."

"So... this is all a conspiracy of the Huns!" Diao Chan frowned. "They know that my husband values ​​us mother and daughter, so they must have passed on the news of our disappearance or murder to my husband, and told him that it was Cao Cao's doing."

"That's why my husband would attack Cao Cao at all costs, and Yuan Shao took advantage of the situation and made his move, which gave the northern tribes an opportunity to exploit!"

"That's it!" This was Xu Shu's analysis when he came back. He was afraid that all this was the work of that military advisor behind the scenes.

If Zhuge Tian and his men had not accidentally defeated two Shanyue armies in the south, Jiangdong would probably have been in chaos for a while.

Although those alien races are fierce, they are usually not large tribes.

They were all fighting on their own, and were abused by the various princes in the Central Plains.

I didn't expect that the military advisor actually united all the tribes together, and I don't know how he got together with Han Sui.

The Northwest has completely become their world.

In the north, Yuan Shao faced off against the Wuhuan and Xianbei, and the final outcome was still unknown.

I heard that Liu Zhang in the south was also in great trouble because of the southern barbarians. I think the shadow of the military advisor was probably behind it.

I don’t know who this person is, but he is so generous.

Zhuge Tian waited for the two to finish eating, then took away the bowls. "You can rest in peace. I've sent a letter to Lu Fengxian asking him to redeem you... and come pick you up!"

After washing the dishes and chopsticks, he walked out of his yard and came to the dungeon in the village.

"How is it? These prisoners say they don't have any?"

"No, they are very stubborn!" Liao Hua said, "I'm afraid they are all stubborn warriors. Why don't they speak?"

Zhuge Tian looked at a foreigner who was beaten to a bloody pulp and shook his head: "It's useless to just beat him."

He turned to Xu Chu and said, "Do you remember the place where you and Wudie played with the ants last time?"

Xu Chu asked in embarrassment, "I said I remember, do you believe me?"

Zhuge Tian: “…”

I almost forgot that this guy has a poor sense of direction.

Fortunately, Huang Wudie usually studies in the village during the day, so someone was sent to find her.

"Ants? I don't remember seeing them in the winter, but now that the weather has warmed up, I've seen them outside looking for food."

"Okay, then you and Zhongkang go dig their nest and bring back more ants."

When Huang Wudie heard that she could dig ants without studying, she jumped up excitedly.

Then he quickly climbed onto Xu Zhu's shoulders and said, "Big guy, let's go!"

"Left, you're going the wrong way. See that tree in front of you? Go under that tree first!"

Liao Hua asked in confusion, "Aren't you going to torture them? Why are you looking for ants?"

"It's used for torture." Zhuge Tian asked Liao Hua to get some sugar water.

"Apply it to their feet. When the ants come, put them in a cloth bag, put their feet in it, and tie the opening tightly!"

Liao Hua's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Oh my god, there is such a good idea, why didn't you teach me earlier!"

Then he ran happily to get some sugar water.

Xu Chu also came back quickly, holding a large lump of mud.

"Brother Tian, ​​those ants are in this mud, running everywhere!" Huang Wudie shouted anxiously.

"I'll do it, I'll do it!" Liao Hua and Gan Ning quickly put all the ants into cloth bags, and then walked towards the captives with a grin.

The foreigners didn't know why these people stopped torturing them, and their feet were washed quickly just now.

They originally thought that these people were trying to bribe them, but then they saw Liao Hua and the other man holding a cloth bag with a sinister smile.

Several people had bad thoughts, but their ankles were tied tightly to the wooden stakes with a wide leather belt. No matter how hard they struggled, it was useless.

Then the sack was put on their feet.

After just a moment of hesitation, they felt an itchy sensation all over the soles of their feet.

"You...what did you do?"

Someone asked in a panic.

They were not afraid of being beaten, but this unknown method of forcing a confession made them feel a little uneasy.

"It's okay, we're just treating our friends to a meal." Liao Hua looked at them with a smile.

As soon as the words fell, one of them felt the itching sensation on his feet becoming more and more intense, even a little unbearable.

But after a moment, the captives could no longer hold back their laughter.

Liao Hua and the others just thought it was funny. They held melon seeds and peanuts and laughed and said, "We're treating our friends to a meal, and you're so happy!"

At first, these prisoners were still stubborn and couldn't help laughing, but when asked if they were willing to confess, they all shook their heads.

But after waiting for more than half an hour, even their laughter became weak.

"I...I'm willing to tell you. I admit it. Take...take this away quickly!"

When Zhuge Tian heard that the prisoner was willing to confess, he gave Liao Hua a look.

Liao Hua nodded and went up to take away the cloth bag containing the ants.

But there were still many ants densely packed on the captive's feet.

"Just scald it with hot water!" Zhuge Tian said lightly.

He had no mercy on these foreigners.

"Okay!" Liao Hua asked someone to bring boiling water and poured it on the prisoner's feet.

After a scream, the originally tough prisoner fainted.

When he was woken up again, he looked at Zhuge Tian and the others as if they were devils.

"Can you tell me now?" Zhuge Tian asked coldly.

The prisoner nodded frantically: "What do you want to say? Just ask, I will tell you everything I know."

"You haven't asked yet?" Zhuge Tian looked at Liao Hua blankly.

"Torture, torture, then you must torture him first and then ask questions!" Liao Hua said seriously: "You must torture him until he surrenders before asking questions!"

Zhuge Tian now deeply suspected that these captives were not that tough. Was it possible that they did not know that Liao Hua was torturing them and thought he was simply abusing them?

"Who sent you?"

"We are from the Dugu tribe. The tribal elders asked us to come."

The prisoner answered quickly.

During this period, Zhuge Tian also made up for a lot of lessons and learned that the Dugu tribe was a tribe under King Xiutu.

"Who led you to hunt down that mother and daughter?"

"The tribe told us to obey the orders of a few Han Chinese. Those Han Chinese are called Hou... Monkey or something?"

"Hou Cheng!"

"Right, right, right, Hou Cheng!" The captive nodded in agreement. "There were over a thousand of us who infiltrated in batches, and then, following Hou Cheng and his men's orders, we attacked the mother and daughter's convoy."

"After they escaped, even though she ran fast, we had eagles in the sky, so we were able to follow them."

This time, the prisoner learned to answer quickly.

No wonder Lu Diaozhi said that he had not been able to escape their pursuit, because there was a falcon watching him in the sky.

"More than a thousand people?" Zhuge Tian frowned. The strength of this force was beyond his imagination.

And with so many people sneaking in, I'm afraid there must be some cities along the way that will provide them with convenience.

The strangest thing is that although there have been continuous wars in the Central Plains, there are quite a few people like Hou Cheng who betray their lords.

But everyone has a consensus, which is to look down on foreigners.

In particular, it seems that not just one or two people are colluding with these alien races.

For example, Han Sui was at least one of the most important princes in Xiliang. How could such a person collude with foreign races?

After asking a few more questions, these prisoners were not of high status, so they only knew some of the issues that would arise during the specific operations.

If you ask their senior management about this, they really don't know anything.

"Okay, lock him up first!"

Zhuge Tian saw that he couldn't ask too many questions, so he could only lock the man up for the time being.

These people were injured and didn't escape. After they recovered for a few days, they were sent to the edge of the city to repair the city wall.

Zhuge Liang was present when the interrogation began. After leaving the cell, he said:

"Brother, the captive just now said that Hou Cheng and his men were leading them. Together with these Xiongnu people, Hou Cheng and his former subordinates have a total of 5,000 people. I think they might come after us."

"You said Hou Cheng would attack Wolong Village?"

"Well, as long as Hou Cheng knows that Diao Chan and her daughter are alive, he will most likely come back. Because he betrayed Lu Bu, and because of that, he provoked a war between Lu Bu and Cao Cao, causing Cao Cao to suffer heavy losses. Even Yuan Shao had his home stolen because of them."

"So there aren't many places in this world where he can go. If we can pretend that Cao's army has massacred our Wolong Village, then we can confirm the truth!"

Zhuge Tian nodded. What Zhuge Liang said made a lot of sense.

Hou Cheng and his men chased him all the way because they were afraid that Lu Bu would find out. If he stayed with Lu Bu, he might have some conspiracy.

Therefore, Diao Chan and her daughter must die, and they must die at the hands of Cao's army.

During this battle between Lu Bu and Cao Cao, strict orders were issued to the entire Jingzhou city of Liu Biao, requiring the city defenders to defend the city to the death to avoid giving the other side a chance to take advantage.

This actually made it easier for these people to enter Jingzhou.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for those thousands of foreigners to be so brazen in hunting down Diao Chan and the others in Jingzhou.

"But when we were rescuing people that day, we were killed to pieces by the enemy. How did they know..."

"Brother, have you forgotten? They used hawks when they were tracking Lu Diaozhi and the others. Even though the soldiers dispersed that day, we were on guard against someone following them, but we didn't pay attention to the sky!"

Zhuge Tian looked up at the sky, but of course he could see nothing.

However, it is very likely that the other party knows their whereabouts.

"We can also send people to several nearby cities to spread the news that our Wolong Village rescued a noble mother and daughter. They are injured and need treatment from a famous doctor!"

Zhuge Liang added another sentence.

"Okay, then Zilong and Xingba, make arrangements and be ready to fight at any time."

"I understand!" Gan Ning nodded excitedly.

Sure enough, before Liao Hua could send someone to the nearby city to spread the news, the outermost sentry at Wolong Village said that someone seemed to be targeting Wolong Village.

The other party didn't dare to get too close, but we saw the figures of aliens through the telescope, so there was no doubt about it.

"I don't think they'd dare come during the day. We have quite a few people in our village, and Deng County is right next to us. They're afraid of attracting the Deng County garrison. If they're going to come, it'll probably be tonight or tomorrow!"

"Then let's just sit back and wait!"

Even if Hou Cheng and his men knew that Wolong Village had some armed forces, they would definitely not take such a village seriously with only 5,000 soldiers under their command.

Just as Zhuge Liang and his men had expected, Hou Cheng and his companions were indeed plotting in a valley not far from Wolong Village.

"The people in Wolong Village are not that simple!" Song Xian said, "When they sent that little girl Lu Diaozhi back, they killed Zang Ba!"

"Humph, it was Gao Shun's trap camp that blocked Zang Ba's main cavalry force, and they just took advantage of the gap by intervening from the side!" Hou Cheng said disapprovingly: "Besides, even if a village like this has some soldiers, how many can they have?"

"We have five thousand soldiers and it's a night attack. How could we not be able to capture a village like this?"

Wei Xu agreed and said, "That's right. If they run back to Lu Bu, we'll all die!"

After listening to what the two said, Song Xian could only nod.

Hou Cheng patted the two on the shoulders:

"Don't worry, as long as we kill them, then return to Lu Bu and cooperate with the military advisor's plan, the world will soon be ours!"

"Hou Cheng, tell me the truth, who is this military advisor?"

Among the three, only Hou Cheng was in direct contact with the military advisor, and Song Xian and Wei Xu were both recruited by him.

"At this point, there's nothing left to hide from you!"

Hou Cheng looked at the two of them and said word by word:

"The military advisor is..."
