Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 161: Leave a Way Out First
As I said, there are really not enough entertainment options these days.

It is especially rare to have a drama troupe in troubled times.

When Lu Ji and the other man heard someone report that a troupe of actors was coming, they immediately asked them to come in so that they could watch a play to relieve their boredom.

I didn't expect that when I took a look at it, I would see something wrong.

This is not a play at all, it is clearly about Cao Cao!

Ordinary people may only be able to hear the shape, but for these aristocratic people, they can of course hear the core!
And how could an ordinary opera troupe possibly allude to Cao Cao?
After the song was finished, Lu Ji immediately asked, "Where did you come from?"

The old man leading the group stepped forward and bowed, saying, "This troupe has a home all over the world, but it's hard to say where they came from."

Lu Ji narrowed his eyes and immediately changed the question: "Where did you learn this opera?"

The old man replied: "I learned it from Jiangling."

Jiangling?

When Lu Ji heard this, how could he not know what was going on?

This thing couldn't possibly have been taught by Jiangling Governor Mi Fang, it could only have been taught by Xing Daorong!

Lu Ji's impression of Xing Daorong has always been that he is a man of both literary and martial talents. His poem "Linjiangxian" was simply stunning.

With such skills, performing a drama is a piece of cake.

After finding out where this troupe came from, Lu Ji's attitude changed immediately. After thinking for a while, he suddenly said with a bit of calmness, "Are you really here to make a living... or do you have other purposes?"

The old man's heart sank when he heard this, and his face suddenly turned ugly.

Although he had rich experience in traveling around the world, he was still exposed after being provoked by Lu Ji.

Seeing this, Lu Ji smiled again and said, "It seems... he is here to inquire about General Zhou Tai's news."

The old man was shocked and didn't understand how he could be seen through so easily.

When Lu Ji saw this, he knew everything and knew that his guess was exactly right.

He quickly stepped forward and pulled the old man, saying kindly: "I was worried that the news wouldn't get out, but I didn't expect Jiang Ling to have a solution."

"Don't go to General Zhou's mansion, old man. I know everything that's going on there very well."

"Go back and tell the person who sent you here that although General Zhou Tai is not in danger of his life right now, he has not been valued all day and there are treacherous officials who are slandering him. I am afraid that he will be in danger at any time."

"It's better to be prepared and have a way out."

"If you really can't find a way, I do have an idea, you can tell me."

The old man was quite loyal. If an ordinary person had heard this, he would have gone back to report long ago.

When it was his turn, he still hesitated.

Lu Ji looked at it and sighed in his heart.

To put it bluntly, since it was said that the person was from Jiangling, Lu Ji naturally knew that it was Xing Daorong who brought this person here.

But I didn't expect that even a troupe under Xing Daorong would be so loyal and righteous.

After sighing, Lu Ji continued, "Hey, don't be unconvinced. Everyone who enters Zhou's mansion will be searched. You opera troupes, don't even think about it."

The old man nodded in agreement after hearing this. After getting the news, he immediately returned to Jiangling.

...

Xing Daorong didn't expect the news to come back so quickly.

It took only ten days for the news to arrive. But it sounded like it was serious news.

But when Sun Quan gets angry, he is even more ruthless than Cao Cao. It only takes a matter of minutes for him to hand over a knife.

Zhou Tai said it was dangerous, and it was dangerous, especially when he learned that Peng Ying was also with Sun Quan.

But it’s just a fallback, how can he arrange it for Zhou Tai?

Xing Daorong was really trying this time, but he had no ideas for the moment, so he couldn't help but think of the idea brought by the old man.

"Go back and tell me, if you really want to leave a way out for General Zhou, you have to make preparations early."

"It's just right. Your opera troupe can infiltrate quite a few people. Although it's difficult for people from the Zhou Mansion to enter, if they search thoroughly, they can still enter the mansion."

"When the time comes, we can send them out by mixing them with your troupe. At least we can get General Zhou Tai's family to a safe place first."

When Xing Daorong learned that it was Lu Ji's idea, he was a little hesitant at first.

But on second thought, if something went wrong, at least his family was safe and Zhou Tai could be free to do what he wanted.

There is no danger to myself.
"Well, let's do our best and leave the rest to fate. Let's give it a try."

Xing Daorong finally made the decision and decided to implement this strategy.

No matter what Sun Quan thought, he could not have imagined that Xing Daorong, who was far away in Jiangling, had already begun to find a way out for Zhou Tai.

Not to mention Sun Quan, even Zhou Tai himself did not expect this.

...

Although separated by a state, there is one person among you who thinks of you all the time, and that person is Zhou Tai. He can't help but feel moved.

In fact, he has discovered that things are becoming increasingly wrong these days.

After Peng Ying gave Sun Quan some advice last time, he became Sun Quan's close minister.

I have received news several times before, saying that Sun Quan still wants to ambush and kill me.

He said that as long as Zhou Tai agreed, the previous "disobedience of the order" would be treated as if it had never happened, and Zhou Tai would be credited with a great achievement!
However, he was scolded by Zhou Tai and driven away.

Even though he cursed heartily, Zhou Tai felt uneasy, especially when there were two more gatekeepers "surveilling" in front of the mansion, which made him even more uneasy.

He himself didn't care whether his family would be implicated, but he was deeply worried.

When Zhou Tai heard that the troupe was going back to Jiangling and was taking some people with them, he understood everything.

However, he reported to the gatekeeper that he loved watching plays and had been watching them for three consecutive days. He then took advantage of the time when the troupe came in and out of the mansion every day to send his family away.

Only then will I feel a little relieved.

I just sent the person away and then there would be trouble later!

On this day, Zhou Tai was practicing swordplay in his spare time in his mansion when he saw Peng Ying entering the mansion again.

The current situation of his family was all caused by him. Zhou Tai's face suddenly changed when he saw it, and he said in a cold voice: "Peng Ying, what are you doing here?"

Peng Ying looked around Zhou Tai's yard and saw servants in groups of three or four. He raised his eyebrows and said, "General Zhou, I heard that a troupe was invited to perform for three consecutive days a few days ago. Why is it so deserted today?"

Zhou Tai said coldly: "Hmph, if you are tired, you will naturally rest in the house."

Peng Ying didn't care about Zhou Tai's attitude at all. He just smiled and said, "I see. It seems that General Zhou is still very energetic."

Zhou Tai really didn't want to have anything to do with Peng Ying, so he said silently: "You'd better stay out of my family's affairs. Just tell me what you're here for."

Peng Ying shook his robe, stepped forward, and pulled out a sword from his waist.

But he shouted: "The White Rainbow Sword of Marquis Wu is here. General Zhou, I came here in response to the order of Marquis Wu. Let me ask you again, can you lure Xing Daorong here to kill him?"

Zhou Tai could not agree to this matter before. Now that Xing Daorong was thousands of miles away and was still thinking about sending his family to a safe place, how could he agree?
Looking at the Baihong Sword in Peng Ying's hand, he just said coldly: "Even if the sword of Marquis Wu is in front of me, I still say the same thing, a real man should be upright and honest, and should not do such a shameless plan!"
