Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 570 "Don't Envy Sheep" (4100)

In fact, Zuo Ci has already made relevant small moves.

The water marks he left on the stone table and barrel lid this morning were sending messages to Wu Liang and Dian Wei.

It's just that if Zhang Liang deliberately arranged this way so that they had the opportunity to contact, those fleeting water traces may have been controlled by Zhang Liang, but they haven't involved the information he wants for the time being, so they didn't move.

So what should Wu Liang do in this situation?

Wu Liang thought about this question carefully while following behind the steward.

It would be best to hold back.

If Zuo Ci sends any news, even if he knows it well, he still has to continue to pretend that he has never seen anything, let alone respond, even if he can't hide it, he still has to pretend that he doesn't understand, otherwise he will die. It may arouse Zhang Liang's suspicion.

As for Zuo Ci.

Wu Liang didn't need to stand on his side if they were not relatives or relatives, but if the situation relapsed, he wouldn't mind joining forces with Zuo Ci to fight against Zhang Liang when necessary, after all Zhang Liang could be regarded as their common enemy.

of course.

Even if he joins forces with Zuo Ci, Wu Liang will keep his hand.

Because judging from the current situation, there must be many unknown things involved in this incident, and it is very likely that it is something he is interested in. Although Zuo Ci's appearance here seems to be held hostage by Zhang Liang, it may not be He doesn't have his own motive, and Wu Liang still doesn't know what the motive is, which makes Zuo Ci stand against him at any time, so he has to guard against it.

In short.

Now it can be regarded as temporarily stabilizing Zhang Liang.

And whether it is for Zhang Liang or Zuo Ci, he still has some value to use. If he doesn't act recklessly, there should be no fear of his life for the time being.

It is entirely possible to temporarily stabilize your temper and wait and see what happens, and wait for more information before making a decision.

……

the following few days.

Wu Liang and Dian Wei's little life was pretty good, the servants of Zhang's mansion were very polite to them, even the soldiers no longer yelled at them, but it was a little boring not being able to go out freely.

In addition, Zhang Liang also authorized Wu Liang to exchange letters with his "family".

It's just that the content of the letter must be read by the steward before it can be sent or sent into the mansion.

From this it can be seen that Zhang Liang actually underestimated Wu Liang's methods. He didn't know that Wu Liang could pass on messages to each other by being dreamed by Zhen Mi, so he was allowed to use this method to report to the "family" that he was safe.

Wu Liang naturally accepted this with pleasure, and of course he had to do a full set of routines. He had to write an innocuous letter every day and ask his servants to help deliver it.

The Liren Army will also reply with a letter and send it back.

It is nothing more than some greetings and cares such as wearing more clothes and eating well.

Recently.

Zuo Ci did not continue to send other messages to Wu Liang through some extraordinary means. His room door was opened every day except for washing and delivering meals, and it was tightly closed at other times, and he never sent out any difference. Unusual movements.

As for his wounds.

It should look a lot better, at least the sackcloth covering his eyes no longer oozes blood... This is also a little strong. With the level of medical treatment in this era, it is a blessing that the wound is not infected, otherwise Zuo Ci would definitely not be able to survive this winter .

So unknowingly.

It was already the "twelfth lunar month" that Zuo Ci had secretly mentioned to Wu Liang.

After these days of eating, sleeping, and eating, Wu Liang's body has gained a layer of winter fat, and even the skin on his face is much smoother.

The same is true for Dian Wei, the resolute edges and corners of his face have been rounded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the creaking sound of the couch when he went to bed became more and more frequent, Wu Liang even felt that he should raise his hand with the servant who came to deliver meals every day. , Teach him to find a way to strengthen Dianwei's couch, so that Dianwei doesn't accidentally sleep on it.

It is also the first day of the twelfth lunar month.

Wu Liang met Zhen Mi again in his dream at night.

In fact, except for the first time entering Zhang's mansion, there is no news worth conveying when they meet in the dream afterwards, so every time Zhen Mi comes here in her dream, she flirts with Wu Liang, making Wu Liang ready to move Afterwards, to leave quietly, Wu Liang almost lost control several times.

But this time, Zhen Mi finally brought some different news.

"Suddenly some people in the city became insane, like mad dogs, they would bite anyone they saw. Today at least hundreds of people were injured or injured because of this. Everyone is in danger. Zhang Liang has also issued a foot restraint order. People who have no government duties No going out."

Still wearing very cool clothes, Zhen Mi sat on Wu Liang's lap with her neck hooked and said lazily.

"Do you know why?"

Wu Liang swallowed, and with difficulty moved his eyes away from Do Not See Evil, and asked seriously.

Zombies?

Through Zhen Mi's description, such a word first flashed in Wu Liang's mind.

In fact, according to the cultural tradition of the Celestial Dynasty, the word "zombie" should be more appropriate, but for the current situation, Wu Liang feels that the word "zombie" is more appropriate. After all, it is not a corpse after death, but a direct loss of mind .

"We can't go out either, we don't know yet."

Zhen Mi smiled sweetly and said, "But just now, my concubine has ordered a few small things to go out to investigate under the cover of night. It's hard to say how much I can find... But I suspect that Zhang Liang should have known this would happen, Therefore, the reaction of the defenders was extremely quick, and those people who had lost their minds were dealt with almost instantly, and the methods were clean and neat."

"You mean that this matter may have something to do with Zhang Liang?"

Wu Liang frowned.

He couldn't help but think of the sacrificial ceremony held a few days ago. If Zhang Liang had any direct relationship with this incident, he immediately thought of the wine and meat distributed at the sacrificial ceremony.

These days I live in Zhang's mansion.

He has already seen Zhang Liang's position in Jinyang City. He is also a typical bureaucrat. Apart from the contact with the people in the city, the people are not even qualified to approach the gate of the Zhang Mansion at other times.

"It's hard to say. I heard that there is no obvious division of people who have lost their minds. They appear in all directions in the city. Besides the sacrificial ceremony, there have been no other large-scale gatherings in Jinyang City recently. It may be difficult for other channels of transmission to cause the current situation..."

Zhen Mi nodded slightly, but at this point, she suddenly stopped, and said after a moment of silence, "Those little things are back, the situation seems to be worse tonight than during the day, and more people have lost their minds. They don’t even recognize their family members, and they bite wildly when they see living things, even poultry and livestock, and the guards who watch the night are running around and cannot be properly controlled, and some people’s homes have been wiped out because of this.”

"This……"

Wu Liang frowned even tighter, he pondered and asked again, "Where are our people, has something similar happened?"

"If something like this happened to one of our people, I would not speak in this tone when I speak to you."

Zhen Fu laughed.

"Then what about the defenders of Jinyang City?"

Wu Liang continued to ask.

"It's never been discovered. At least so far, the defenders of Jinyang City have not experienced any confusion. It should be that no one has lost their minds. Otherwise, they are too busy to take care of themselves at the moment. How can they run around to control the situation?"

Zhen Mi said.

"Where are the noble families in the city?"

Wu Liang asked again.

Zhen Mi should have asked her fox servant again, and said after a while: "Most of the mansions of noble families are concentrated in the east of the city. These mansions are all closed and peaceful, unlike the scene of howling ghosts and howling wolves in the south and east of the city." Totally two worlds."

"Emmm..."

After asking about these details, Wu Liang already had a rough guess in his mind.

This matter is probably related to Zhang Liang, and it is most likely related to the wine and meat distributed at the sacrificial ceremony that day.

Because the defenders who participated in the sacrificial ceremony that day had never touched the wine and meat, the nobles had never touched the wine and meat, and the Li army had never touched the wine and meat...

This statement is not entirely accurate.

To be exact, none of the soldiers of the Huren Army had ever touched those wine and meat, while the backbone of the Huren Army had basically touched it, but it was not like those ordinary people who opened their stomachs to eat, but just symbolic I tasted a little bit to confirm the authenticity of the wine and meat.

Even Dian Wei, who is more greedy for alcohol, just dipped his tongue in the wine to taste the taste.

At present, the backbone of the Huan army has not experienced a similar situation, and Wu Liang and Dian Wei are also safe and sound, most likely because the dose of wine and meat is not enough.

But still not to be taken lightly.

Also.

Wu Liang is currently living in Zhang's residence.

Although the Zhang Mansion is not small, if a similar situation occurs, it will definitely cause a certain degree of panic. Whether it is day or night, it is impossible to follow the steps. Therefore, Wu Liang can be sure that there is no similar situation in the Zhang Mansion.

Through the method of elimination, it is not difficult for Wu Liang to come up with such a conjecture.

"You will tell Yang Wanli later and order him to isolate all those who tasted wine and meat at the sacrificial ceremony that day until the matter returns to calm, just in case."

Wu Liang said to Zhen Mi with a serious expression, "If someone is also suffering from insanity, although there is no need to kill him, but there is no need to take into account the friendship of the comrades, no matter who they are, tie them up and divide them."

"You mean, there was a problem with the wine and meat that day?"

Zhen Mi asked intently.

"It's just speculation for the time being, but it must be guarded against."

Wu Liang nodded.

"It seemed that I was the only one who didn't taste the wine and meat that day, and Bai Jingjing also tasted some. I really want to know, if Bai Jingjing accidentally suffers from insanity, are you really willing to teach Yang Wanli to tie her up?"

Zhen Mi immediately asked a question with a clear idea.

"Expediency, no one can be an exception."

Wu Liang nodded.

"Then what if this madness can never be recovered?"

Zhen Mi asked again, blinking.

"If you've tried all the methods and still can't do anything, I should relieve her pain with my own hands, so that she can always have a place in my heart."

Wu Liang looked away, with deep eyes but said very calmly, "And the people involved in this matter, no matter who they are, will be buried with her... Jingjing is the same, and so are the others."

"This is the man who does the big things."

Zhen Mi pursed her lips and laughed, as if she was very satisfied with Wu Liang's answer, and then said, "But you can rest assured that if a similar situation occurs in the Huan army, I will not sit idly by." Ignore it, although the concubine cannot save the people in the city, it should not be a problem to save a few of them."

"?"

Wu Liang was taken aback for a moment, and immediately asked, "Did you already have some understanding of the origin of this insanity, but you are deliberately playing sloppy with me here?"

"Although the concubine's identity cannot be completely determined now, judging from the current situation, your inference should be close to ten."

Zhen Mi smiled sweetly, and then asked, "Do you know what 'not envious of sheep' is?"

"Women with less love are called 'Not Envious of Sheep'."

Wu Liang said solemnly, but his heart was shocked.

Because these three characters themselves represent the taste of cruelty and blood.

There is a record in ancient books: "Old and thin men call it 'Rao Bahuo', women with little love are called 'Buxian sheep', children call it 'Hegulan', and they call it 'two-legged sheep'. '."

The era when people were called "sheep" was the era when people ate human flesh.

The woman Shaoai is talking about women. When women are used as food, they are also called "not envious of sheep".

Now Zhen Mi suddenly mentioned this word.

Could it be that the meat distributed at the sacrificial ceremony that day was... But Wu Liang remembered very clearly that when he tasted the meat, the taste and texture he tasted were clearly pork.

But this is not absolute.

According to historical records, when the "two-legged sheep" was used as food in the ancient army when they were short of food, they usually "killed people and ate them with mixed cattle and horses" in order to cover up the taste of the "two-legged sheep" with the meat of other animals, otherwise there would definitely be "two-legged sheep". Some soldiers can't pass the test in their hearts and can't swallow.

Of course, this is also covering up the crimes of the leader.

After all, once this kind of thing is spread, it will definitely be nailed to the pillar of shame in history. Not only will it never be cleared away, it may even lose the qualification to compete for the world.

Therefore, the meat stewed in the copper tripod that day may not all be "unenviable sheep". Perhaps the meat brought back by Prince Chamu, Yu Ji and Zhuge Liang happened to be pork mixed with it.

"You mean, among the meat distributed that day, there was 'Not Envious of Sheep'?"

Wu Liang asked again immediately.

"How can a mere 'not envious of sheep' make people suffer from insanity?"

Zhen Mi asked again.

Yes!

Wu Liang immediately realized that if he just ate this kind of meat and got the same "ancestral meat backlash" as the tomb guard Yan's family, he definitely wouldn't have it so quickly.

Therefore, what Zhen Mi said was not completely correct.

She may not know that "Not Envious of Sheep" may indeed make people go crazy, but it will definitely not be so fast.

And just when Wu Liang was thinking so.

However, Zhen Mi continued: "My little thing smells of death on those who have lost their minds. If my guess is correct, these 'not envious sheep' are probably witchcrafted." 'Solid Meat', and the 'Solid Meat' made from 'Bu Xian Yang' is usually only used when arranging huge formations... I'm afraid this place is not easy."
