The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 85 Zhuge Ke

Seeing that Zhou Shan had finally caught the trick, Liu Chan stopped the humiliating crawling movement and stood up from the roof.

It turned out that Liu Chan has always liked to lie in the house alone, staring at the roof above his head in a daze, so of course he is much more familiar with the structure of the roof of a general house than others.I don't want to, he actually took advantage of such an emergency.

In fact, the structure of a general tile roof can generally be divided into four layers:

The fourth bottom floor is the beams and slender planks of the vault, commonly known as "corners", which are used as supports for the entire roof.

On the third floor above the wooden boards, a layer of long flat tiles will be laid, so that people in the house will feel that the roof is flat when they look up.

The second layer is two thick tiles that are upturned and sunken in the middle.

The first layer on the top is a stack of thin tiles, stacked from top to bottom, about three to four tiles thick, forming a ridge like a field.They are not connected to each other, and form a downward-sloping ditch with the depression of the thick tiles on the third floor.And this ditch is the most vulnerable place on the entire roof!

Liu Chan was very careful. Ever since the moon came out, he had observed that Zhou Shan was standing on the stack of tiles with his left foot, and his right foot was stepping in the ditch. It was his left foot that broke the tiles just now.So this reminded him that he could use the geographical advantage of the roof to escape Zhou Shan's clutches again.

So, when Zhou Shan was in a daze, Liu Chan suddenly had a seizure and stabbed Zhou Shan's left foot with a knife, so that when he tried to chase him, only his right leg was left to exert strength.

And just now, Liu Chan was held in Zhou Shan's hands, and the weight of the two of them was enough to crush tiles.So if Zhou Shan exerts force on one foot at this time, the weight of his whole body will be on his right foot
——What's more, Liu Chan's weight is not even half that of Zhou Tai's. Judging from common sense, the pressure under Zhou Shan's feet will definitely not only double at this time, it will be no problem to crush the two most fragile tiles!
Facts have proved that Liu Chan's idea is correct, and common sense of physics has helped a lot.When Zhou Shan was about to jump up, he really collapsed the roof!

Liu Chan couldn't help laughing proudly: "Zhou Shan, can you continue to be as proud as you were just now?"

"You boy, see if I don't come up and kill you!"

Of course, Liu Chan couldn't let Zhou Shan do this. He quickly walked over to pick up the long sword, pointed at Zhou Shan's hand and said, "I'll chop off your hand and see how you come up!"

As he said that, he slashed at Zhou Shan's hand without any hesitation.Zhou Shan exclaimed, and immediately let go and fell into the room below.

Liu Chan probed to look, the inside was pitch black, and Zhou Shan could not be seen in the slightest.But there should be no one living there, otherwise they would have screamed.

Liu Chan took out the fire pocket from his arms, blew on it and it started to burn. The wind on the roof made the flames more vigorous.

Liu Chan curled his lips and threw the fire bag down.

Only then did he see clearly that there was a utility room below.Zhou Shan was groping on the ground, and he didn't seem to have fallen, but the blood on his left calf was getting more and more.

Liu Chan knew that with Zhou Shanyang's injury, trying to jump up to the roof again with one leg was tantamount to nonsense.He turned down and said with a provocative smile: "Zhou Shan, I am waiting for you now! You came up to seek revenge on me!"

Zhou Shan snorted coldly, and said: "You wait for me, I will avenge the enmity of entering in the future!" Then he began to take care of his injuries by the light of the fire.

Hearing this, Liu Chan scolded Zhou Shan in secret, "If you don't come here and give you three points, you dare to open a dyeing workshop!"He immediately grabbed the tile next to him and swished it down, regardless of whether he hit it or not, he just kept throwing it down.

Zhou Shan couldn't dodge for a while, and was concentrated on the head by tiles several times in succession, and then let out several screams.Hearing Liu Chan's direct exclaim was enjoyable, and decided to continue to make persistent efforts.

But soon, Zhou Shan's cry stopped.Liu Chan probed and looked, Zhou Shan's figure had long since disappeared, but the door below was opened, it seemed that Zhou Shan had already run away!
After Liu Chan cursed Zhou Shan in a low voice, he lay down on the roof again.At this time, he felt a burst of fear in his heart, and couldn't help but patted his chest. His heart was still beating non-stop, and the clothes on his back were soaked in cold sweat.

A breeze blew over the roof tiles, Liu Chan felt extremely cool, but there was also a faint smell of sweat.

But Liu Chan didn't care, the feeling of escaping death made him feel very happy, his eyes just looked at the sky.

The bright moon became brighter at this time, the clouds were gradually fading, and the moonlight was no longer hazy.

Just when Liu Chan was very proud, someone not far away suddenly said: "Mr. Yang is really in a good mood. He just escaped from the tiger's mouth, and he is actually interested in admiring the moon."

The tone of this voice is not fast, but it is extremely clear, and people can't help but be attracted to it when they hear it.

There was another feeling in Liu Chan's heart. The first thing he thought of was not panic, but that this person must be a person full of confidence in his heart, and it didn't make him feel dangerous!

Liu Chan grabbed Zhou Shan's long sword, stood up from the roof, turned around and looked around.Only then did he realize that there were two people on the eaves at the back, both of whom had swords on their bodies. Since Liu Chan is more sensitive to fighting now, he felt that the swords looked particularly dazzling under the moonlight.

But one of the two was a burly warrior, over eight feet tall, who just stood aside as a guard.

The other one is a scholar wearing the Jinxian crown. He is not tall, and he doesn't seem to be very old, but he can't see his face clearly from too far away.He was sitting upright on the cornice, looking up at the changes of the clouds and the moon in the sky, looking quite contentedly.

Liu Chan whispered in his heart, could it be that he has just escaped from the tiger's mouth, and now he meets a pair of wolves and embarrassments who have been spying behind him for a long time?If this is the case, the so-called mantis catching cicadas and orioles are behind, then it is really bad.

Seeing that Liu Chan had spotted him, the scholar stood up and walked towards Liu Chan.Liu Chan immediately took two steps back subconsciously.The scholar said with a smile: "Young Master Yang was able to retreat Zhou Shan out of his wits just now, are you still afraid of me, a scholar?" Then he waved his hand behind him so that the warrior didn't have to keep up.

Liu Chan secretly said in his heart, as expected, let this fellow see everything that happened just now!Damn Zhao Feng, why haven't you come back now!But he said stubbornly: "Scholars are not afraid, but they are most afraid of those who speak upright, but are actually traitors."

The scholar waved his hand and said, "Young Master Yang is really worrying too much, do you know who I am?"

"who is it?"

"My lord, Zhuge Ke, the eldest son of the Zhuge Mansion where you are staying now."

Zhuge Ke stepped forward.Liu Chan finally saw the face of the person in front of him clearly.

I saw that this person's face was clean-shaven, his nose was a bit flat, his forehead was a bit high, and his mouth was not small. He didn't look particularly handsome, but he was impressive.

And since this person calls himself Zhuge Ke, he should be Zhuge Qiao's eldest brother. Liu Chan compared the appearance of the two, but found that they did not look much alike.But in fact, this person vaguely resembles Zhuge Rong in appearance.

Liu Chan stayed in Zhuge's mansion for the past few days, and has never seen Zhuge Ke, the famous child prodigy in Jiangdong. He just heard who he went on a trip with, and he didn't want to meet him in such a place now.Moreover, the other party actually understands his own situation quite well. Is this something a traveler should do?Liu Chan was somewhat surprised.But today's situation is so bad that it can't be much worse now.

Therefore, Liu Chan simply stabilized his mood, bowed his hands to the other party, and said in a familiar way: "Huang heard that Mr. Zhuge traveled far away in Kuaiji recently, but why did he meet here?"

Zhuge Ke walked up to Liu Chan, looked at the thin young man in front of him who was younger and shorter than him, and said with a smile: "Ke received news a few days ago that my second brother returned from Jingzhou, so he rushed home. However, Mr. Yang was also mentioned in it, and I was very curious. I didn't want to meet Mr. Yang here tonight."

Zhuge Ke's words are so understated, it is naturally impossible for Liu Chan to fully believe him, but it is important to talk between smart people without knowing it.Liu Chan also said: "In this case, the two of us are really destined."

Zhuge Ke nodded, and asked seriously: "Where did Mr. Yang hide my lord's sword?"

Seeing that Zhuge Ke came here for the Baihong Sword again, Liu Chan had an impure purpose.He also said sternly: "Let's not talk about whether my son is really a water thief who stole the sword, just say that I am renting at your house now, and I am your guest. Is this how your master treats guests?"

Zhuge Ke knew that he was too impatient to ask, and his etiquette was too thoughtful, so he explained: "You are being rude, Mr. Yang, don't take offense! Ke is asking this question because he cares about state affairs."

"If the loss of a sword can be regarded as a national event, then if someone loses a catty of salt, a grain of rice, or a piece of cloth, wouldn't it also be considered a national event? I am afraid that Mr. Zhuge is looking for a sword. This is an opportunity to win the appreciation of Marquis Wu, right?"

Zhuge Ke was a little embarrassed by Liu Chan's refutation, but Jiang Dong's eloquence has always been praised, he shook his head and said: "Small firewood, rice, oil and salt are naturally not considered important matters for the country, but the Baihong Sword is the master's sharp weapon. If the master loses it, Jiang Dong will lose face. Naturally, we have to find it together. Although Qi Ke is not talented, he is still appreciated by the lord, so naturally he doesn't need to take the opportunity to take the position."

Liu Chan secretly praised Zhuge Ke for his eloquence. Not only was his insinuation just now completely resolved by his two sentences, but he also took the opportunity to brag about himself. He is really a master.

At this time, suddenly a person jumped up from under the street and came straight to Zhuge Ke.Liu Chan felt nervous again, and immediately raised the long sword in his hand to be on guard.

Zhuge Ke pressed Liu Chan's hand and told him that this person was here to report the news, so don't be nervous about it.Only then did Liu Chan breathe a sigh of relief, and secretly sighed that he was a little too nervous tonight.

Sure enough, when the man came to Zhuge Ke, he wanted to report secretly, but Zhuge Ke asked the man to report in public.The man looked at Liu Chan and said, "My lord, the battle on West Street is over, and Mr. Buchan has been killed!"

Zhuge Ke suddenly let out an exclamation, turned his head to Liu Chan and said: "If Bu Chan dies, how can Bu Shi be kind to you, Mr. Yang, and give up!"

Liu Chan was also a bit stupid, he never thought that Zhao Feng would cause him such a big trouble - it doesn't matter if you kill a few gangsters, but Bu Chan is the nephew of Bu Lianshi!It seems that Jiangdong can't get along anymore.However, Liu Chan is not the kind of idiot who would get confused before the battle, and immediately made a plan in his mind: 36 strategies, the best policy is to go!
Seeing that Liu Chan was silent, Zhuge Ke said, "Young Master Yang, it seems that you can't stay in Jiangdong any longer. You should return to Jingzhou as soon as possible."With that said, Zhuge Ke held Liu Chan back and asked Liu Chan to go with him.

Of course Liu Chan refused, and insisted on waiting until Zhao Feng was willing to leave.Zhuge Ke persuaded: "Mr. Yang, I have no intention of harming you. Now the situation is urgent, you should go home with me and tell Bo Song first. I will leave Qi Gao here to wait for your guard to come. "Qi Gao is the name of Zhuge Ke's tall guard.

Liu Chan knew that what Zhuge Ke said was somewhat reasonable, but he still felt unsafe.In fact, it's not that Liu Chan is suspicious by nature. He is now in an enemy situation. If he doesn't have 120 points of vigilance, he might not know how he died in the end.

Seeing this, Zhuge Ke took out a bronze medal from his sleeve, handed it to Liu Chan, and said, "This bronze medal was given to me by Ruan Le, the gate governor of Jianye City. With this card, you can enter and leave the city gate at any time sooner or later. I will send you off now!"
