The Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms: The Evil God Arrives
Chapter 458 Declaration
Chapter 458 Declaration
"You are taking advantage of the situation and destroying Liu Xuande's reputation for benevolence!" Kuai Yue looked at Zhuge Liang and his group who were surrounding them with his troops in great anger.
Yes, you heard it right. The trio of Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi and Pang Tong led their troops to surround the government office of Linxiang City. As for how they were surrounded, Kuai Yue didn't know; how the other side entered Linxiang City, Kuai Yue didn't know; why the defenders in Linxiang City didn't react, Kuai Yue still didn't know, and he didn't even know when the other side entered Changsha County.
However, at this point, Kuai Yue could probably guess who helped to cover up the tracks of Zhuge Liang and his party. After all, he, Kuai Yue, could be loyal to Liu Biao, but that did not mean that others were willing to be loyal to Liu Biao who was lying unconscious in bed. Even his brother Kuai Liang was involved.
Kuai Yue had no doubts about his brother choosing Liu Bei. Although Kuai Liang was the Governor of Jingzhou, before he took up this position, he was first the head of the Kuai family in Jingzhou, and then the Governor of Jingzhou.
Now everyone with a discerning eye can see that Liu Biao's ship is just a broken ship, and a broken ship that is about to sink. Before Liu Biao was assassinated, many people wanted to get off the ship. Now that Liu Biao has been stabbed and is unconscious, even more people want to surrender directly to Liu Bei. After all, they are all relatives of the Han Dynasty, and surrendering to Liu Bei is also to restore the glory of the Han Dynasty.
Before Liu Biao got into trouble, everyone still had some dignity. Even if they wanted to surrender to Liu Bei, they would not express it openly. After all, Liu Biao had never done anything to let them down. If they abandoned Liu Biao like this, they would have to bear the bad reputation of betraying their master.
But now it's different. Liu Biao is now unconscious after being stabbed and unable to take charge of the affairs of his country. It is very reasonable for them to call Liu Bei, who is also a relative of the Han royal family, to take charge of Jingzhou temporarily. Except for the fact that it is not very reasonable towards Liu Biao's family, everything else is very reasonable.
Therefore, it was normal for them to go find Zhuge Liang and his party who had already arrived in Wuling County. It was also normal for them to lead Zhuge Liang and his party into Linxiang City. Although surrounding the Linxiang City government office was a bit unreasonable.
However, they can make this behavior seem reasonable. After all, who is the most loyal to Liu Biao under his rule? It is probably Kuai Yue. Although Kuai Yue has opened up the spiritual talent of the chess game of heaven and earth, after taking himself out of the game, he will make the same choice as them.
However, they were afraid that Kuai Yue would do something unreasonable and choose to share the same fate as Liu Biao, so many of them, including Kuai Liang, chose to help Kuai Yue make a reasonable choice, which was to hand over the claim of Jingzhou to Liu Bei.
"Taking advantage of the situation and destroying the reputation of Lord Xuande's benevolence?" Zhuge Liang looked at the letter for help in his hand. "No, no, no, how about you, Kuai Yue, take a look at what is written on this letter before you say this to me." Zhuge Liang unfolded the letter for help he had received and let Kuai Yue see the words on it clearly.
Looking at the letter for help that Zhuge Liang unfolded, Kuai Yue couldn't help but look at Kuai Liang who was standing aside. Perhaps only his brother could write this letter for help, otherwise no one else would be qualified to send this letter for help on behalf of Liu Biao.
Kuai Liang looked at Kuai Yue calmly, without feeling any shame for having written the letter for help on behalf of Liu Biao. If anyone should blame someone, it should be Liu Biao who has not woken up until now. If Liu Biao was still conscious now, he would have written the letter for help himself, instead of having Kuai Liang write and seal it on his behalf.
Kuai Yue sighed. With this letter of request for help sent by Kuai Liang, Liu Bei's claim to Jingzhou was confirmed. Even Liu Bei's army had arrived at the Linxiang government office.
The established facts had already been formed, and even if Kuai Yue had all the power, he could not change them, because under Liu Biao's rule, from top to bottom, no one except Kuai Yue wanted to change them.
"Kuai Biejia, have you read the contents of this letter for help carefully? This is the letter for help that was personally delivered to us by the Jingzhou governor." Zhuge Liang pointed out Kuai Liang without any other intention, he just wanted to increase credibility.
"I can still tell who wrote this letter." Kuai Yue said in a deep voice. He did not show any emotion because Zhuge Liang pointed out Kuai Liang. Kuai Liang on the side did not show any emotion either. He just looked up at Zhuge Liang.
The onlookers around were quite shocked. After all, they didn't expect that the person who sent the letter for help was Kuai Liang. You know, Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue are brothers. They didn't expect that Kuai Liang actually sent the letter for help to Zhuge Liang without telling Kuai Yue.
"Then I wonder if Kuai Yue has anything else to ask?" Zhuge Liang guessed that Kuai Yue should have other things to ask him, especially things related to Liu Biao.
Kuai Yue had no way to undo what had already become an established fact, but investigating the assassination of Liu Biao was something he had to do.
Rationally speaking, what Kuai Yue should do most now is to follow the footsteps of his brother Kuai Liang and allow or assist Zhuge Liang to take over Liu Biao's power, rather than wasting time investigating the assassination of Liu Biao.
However, human nature has not only a rational side, but also an emotional side. It is hard to say how deep the relationship between Kuai Yue and Liu Biao was, but as a king and his subject, Kuai Yue had to give Liu Biao a decent treatment.
"Did you guys do the assassination of my lord Liu Jingsheng?" Kuai Yue asked Zhuge Liang this question directly in front of everyone without any concealment or euphemism.
In this situation, it seemed that Liu Biao would not survive. All Kuai Yue could do was to find the guys who organized the assassination of Liu Biao, and then send these bastards who dared to hide behind him directly to see Liu Biao, and tell Liu Biao that he, Kuai Yue, had avenged him.
Although he knew that the people who assassinated Liu Biao were probably not from Liu Bei's side, after all, if they really did it, Zhuge Liang would not have led his troops to Linxiang and surrounded the government office at this time. This was not to collect spoils of war, but to give people the world an handle to use against him.
Kuai Yue didn't believe that these three young people in front of him didn't know these things. Even if they didn't know the twists and turns, the people behind them should know what the situation was. Kuai Yue knew that Zhuge Liang and his party stayed in Linyuan City, Jiangling County for a few days.
Why did Zhuge Liang and his men stay in Jiangling County for a few days? Wasn't it to avoid being misunderstood and to ask higher-ups what to do next?
Now that Zhuge Liang and his party dared to come here at this sensitive time, it means that they can prove that they have nothing to do with the assassination of Liu Biao, and they also have some information about Liu Biao's assassination.
The reason why Kuai Yue asked this matter in front of so many people was to get the information in the hands of Zhuge Liang and others, and to help Zhuge Liang and others get rid of the suspicion on himself.
Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi and Pang Tong took a deep look at Kuai Yue. This guy was not easy to deal with. If he had not been restrained by Liu Biao's power, who knows how much damage he would have caused them. Zhuge Liang said, "The assassination of Liu Jingzhou has nothing to do with us. This memory bubble should be able to clear our suspicion." Zhuge Liang took out the memory bubble that the intelligence personnel had extracted from the assassin.
"Memory bubble?" Kuai Yue frowned and looked at the fist-sized ball of light in Zhuge Liang's hand. He didn't know what the so-called memory bubble Zhuge Liang was talking about.
"The so-called memory bubble is something that stores memories." Zhuge Liang explained Yang Ji's definition of memory bubble, and then said, "The memories in this memory bubble were extracted from the assassin's body using a special secret technique."
The corners of their mouths of Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang and other people from Liu Biao's side who were present twitched. When they remembered the assassin's body that day, it was long gone. As a result, Zhuge Liang actually got the assassin's memory. This represented a big deal.
"Did your people take away the assassin's body?" Kuai Yue did not take the memory bubble from Zhuge Liang's hand immediately, but asked about the whereabouts of the assassin's body first.
"We only got the assassin's residual memory." Zhuge Liang shook his head. "According to the information from the Grand Commander, it should be that the backup plan on the corpse influenced the onlookers at the scene, causing them to destroy the assassin's body." Zhuge Liang told everyone about Yang Ji's speculation.
"This..." Kuai Yue and others took a deep breath. They didn't expect that there would be such an ability in the world that could use the backhand on the corpse to influence the people around them and use the people around them to destroy the assassin's body.
"General Yang Ji should be able to do this, right?" Kuai Yue looked at Zhuge Liang with burning eyes. Since Yang Ji was able to point out the assassin's trick without even seeing the assassin's body, Yang Ji must be able to do this, right?
Faced with Kuai Yue's questioning, Zhuge Liang was silent for a while. As for whether Yang Ji could do such a thing himself, Zhuge Liang believed that Yang Ji could do it.
After all, when one reaches Yang Ji's level, it is really difficult for anything to stump them. The only difference is whether they want to or not.
"Why don't you speak?" Kuai Yue asked softly, almost saying that the assassination of Liu Biao was organized by Yang Ji behind the scenes.
Of course, Kuai Yue’s original intention was not this, but he wanted to find out who else could do this through Yang Ji, who could do this.
"I dare not say whether the Grand Commander can do such a thing, but after Kuai Biejia reads the memories in the memory bubble, he can probably guess who the murderer behind it is." Zhuge Liang did not intend to argue about whether Yang Ji could do it, and directly handed the memory bubble to Kuai Yue.
"You can read the memories inside by using mental power to touch this memory bubble. However, because the assassin foresaw that his memories would be read by others when he died, he destroyed his memories before he died. Therefore, the memories in this memory bubble are also incomplete." Zhuge Liang reminded the stunned Kuai Yue.
Looking at the memory bubble that Zhuge Liang had handed to him, Kuai Yue admitted that he was a little stunned just now. It was not because Yang Ji really possessed that incredible ability, but because he caught the words of Zhuge Liang that the assassin had predicted that his memory would be extracted after his death.
Since the assassin had already realized that he would die tragically on the spot, why did he insist on the plan to assassinate Liu Biao? This is what Kuai Yue was curious about.
An ability to predict the future, no matter it is an individual's sublimated ability or a magical power under a certain system, people who can cultivate this ability are treasures among the forces. An organization that can send such a person to serve as an assassin is definitely not a simple existence.
Kuai Yue mobilized his mental power to touch the memory bubble in his hand, and then the memories flowed, and he saw the memory of the assassin. Just as Zhuge Liang said, the assassin saw the future where his memory was extracted, and thus destroyed his own memory.
However, the assassin would never have imagined that Yang Ji's secret technique of memory extraction was so effective that it could even extract a little bit of his self-destructed memory.
Although the memories extracted by the secret technique were very fragmented, the key memories, that is, the part that everyone was paying attention to, were preserved relatively intact.
"The ability to see past lives, the Kushans, Brahmin monks, and a girl who caused cholera in the Kushan queen's harem, which led to the relocation of the Kushan capital. The consequence of the relocation was that the Brahmin power was seized by the current Kushan king." Kuai Yue read a lot of things from the memory bubble, but he also had more doubts.
The first thing that comes to mind is how did Liu Biao's daughter get into the so-called Kushan king's harem and have the ability to disrupt the harem? Also, how to explain how the Kushan king was able to seize the power of the Brahmins after the Kushan Kingdom moved its capital?
Kuai Yue said that he could not understand the assassin's train of thought. Who would travel thousands of miles to another country just to solve a problem at the source when nothing happened?
Although solving future disasters from the source is indeed a good way to treat both the symptoms and the root causes, the source you want to solve is the daughter of Liu Biao, a relative of the Han Dynasty.
A wave of anger swirled in Kuai Yue's heart. It had been so many years, and the last foreigner who dared to challenge the Han Dynasty was gone, not even his ashes were left. He just wondered if the so-called Kushan Brahmins could do the same thing as the Huns.
"Military Advisor Zhuge, don't you have any idea about this so-called Kushan Kingdom?" Kuai Yue asked Zhuge Liang in a grim tone. If Zhuge Liang and his people did not intend to take care of this matter, then don't blame him for not cooperating with them to take over Liu Biao's forces.
"From the tone of your voice, does it mean you have any ideas about the Kushan Kingdom?" Zhuge Liang asked in return. When Yang Ji's order came two days ago, they knew that it would be impossible for them to return to Fenggao in a short period of time.
According to Yang Ji's idea, they needed to organize troops and prepare for war in the southern states, wait for the opportunity to take Jiaozhou and Yizhou, and then fight all the way to Kushan from Yizhou Yongchang County or Jiaozhou Rinan County.
