Chapter 76 Zhuge Liang ran away (please vote)

Just as Cui Zhouping had guessed, Zhuge Liang yelled and cursed every day just to get his guards to talk to him.

Anger can make people lose part of their reason.

To put it bluntly, Zhuge Liang's IQ was originally meant to crush these people.

Zhuge Liang had gotten the news he wanted through these days of scolding.

In the last carriage of the team, Zhuge Liang lay in the carriage with his eyes closed, thinking in his mind: "These people are subordinates of Jiangxia Su Ming, and Su Ming is the subordinate of the traitorous prime minister."

"Even if I, Zhuge Kongming, die, I will never work for that traitor. I have to find a way to get out of here."

"However, these people are under very tight guard, and the three generals leading them are all extremely brave. It's not that easy for me to escape."

Zhuge Liang had many escape plans in his mind. However, these plans were rejected by himself.

There were people guarding Zhuge Liang at all times day and night, and these people stared at him with big eyes.

Even if Zhuge Liang flew out with wings on his ribs, he would still be shot down by the strong bow and crossbow.

Even if he was lucky enough to escape from the people guarding him and run out, he would probably be caught up.

Zhuge Liang, a man with two legs, could never outrun a horse with four legs.

After rejecting all these ideas, Zhuge Liang seemed to have thought of something.

He continued to think in his mind: "According to the current speed, it will take at most two days to switch from the land route to the water route."

"Since there is no chance to escape now, is there any chance to escape by water?"

"After arriving on the ship, their supervision will be much more relaxed. By then, there may be a chance to escape."

Thinking of this, Zhuge Liang could only make a decision secretly in his heart.

For the current plan, we can only change the waterway, get on the boat, and then look for opportunities to escape.

Since Jiangxia was occupied by Su Ming, Liu Biao wanted to prevent Su Ming from further plotting against the Jingxiang generation.

Therefore, Li Yan, Huang Zhong, and Wei Yan were sent to garrison at the junction of Jingxiang and Jiangxia.

Although the official road can still be used, it is guarded and blocked everywhere.

Caravans and pedestrians coming and going are subject to very strict inspections.

Obviously, Gan Ning and these kidnapped people must not be able to travel by land.

If they encounter soldiers setting up checkpoints and shout out, all their efforts will be wasted.

In contrast, although there are water fortresses on waterways, there are no inspections of lone passenger ships or commercial ships passing by.

Of course, the reason why there is no inspection is because there is a huge difference between military ships and merchant ships, which can be seen at a glance.

Zhuge Liang's reputation as Crouching Dragon is indeed well-deserved.

Just as Zhuge Liang expected, Gan Ning and the others arrived at a ferry in the evening of the next day.

Gan Ning was quite wealthy and spent a lot of money to buy a small merchant ship.

That night, after purchasing all the supplies needed on the ship, Zhuge Liang and the others were moved to the merchant ship.

As before, Huang Chengyan and his daughter were locked in a cabin, and Cui Zhouping, Shi Guangyuan, and Meng Gongwei were locked in a cabin.

Zhuge Liang, this thorn in the side, still lives in his own single room.

However, this suits Zhuge Liang's wishes. He lives by himself, which makes it easier for him to find opportunities to escape.

Zhuge Liang now only cares about his own escape. He doesn't care about his friends, wife, or father-in-law.

Now, Zhuge Liang is like a clay Bodhisattva crossing the river, and he cannot save himself.

Whether he can escape or not is a question mark.

If you think about escaping with your wife, father-in-law, and friends, that is pure fantasy.

Just as Zhuge Liang expected, after arriving on the ship, the manpower to guard them was reduced a lot.

First, someone needs to drive the boat now.

About twenty of Gan Ning's brothers were transferred to sail the ship.

There were about thirty people left who needed to defend the ship's sides, decks and other places. Therefore, no one was watching Zhuge Liang and the others closely.

Gan Ning also thought about it and locked Zhuge Liang and the others in the cabin. Two guards were placed at the door of the cabin, so that Zhuge Liang and the others would not be able to escape.

Besides, this is on a ship.

Even if they can escape from the ship, can they still get wings and fly?

You know, this is on the Yangtze River. If you jump into the river rashly, you will almost die.

Not to mention scholars like Zhuge Liang, even navy generals like Zhu Ran and Zhu Yi had a narrow escape after jumping into the river.

It was because of this idea that Gan Ning himself relaxed his guard a little after arriving on the ship.

Early the next morning.

It was raining lightly outside, and Gan Ning personally inspected the boat.

"How is it? Nothing happened last night, right?" Gan Ning asked his brothers.

The brother who was in charge of the vigil last night replied: "Brother, it's okay."

"Although the wind and rain were a bit strong last night, the wind was blowing towards our Jiangxia. If it blows for two more days, the five-day journey will be reached in three days."

As soon as Gan Ning and others changed the waterway, a strong wind blew and it rained heavily that night.

Although the weather is bad, the wind is blowing north, which is the direction of Jiangxia.

This wind actually allowed the ship to take advantage of the wind and return faster.

When Gan Ning heard this, he also smiled and said loudly: "This is God helping me. I will return to Jiangxia as soon as possible and live up to my lord's high expectations."

As soon as Gan Ning finished speaking, he saw Tai Shici hurriedly ran to the deck and said in a panic: "Xingba, something serious is going wrong!"

"Now, my brother went to deliver food to them and found that Zhuge Kongming, who was locked in the cabin, was missing."

Hearing this, Gan Ning's eyes suddenly widened.

Zhuge Kongming is missing??

Where can he run? Is it possible that he can also get wings and fly?

"Someone is coming!"

"Go and look for me quickly, maybe even hide on the boat!" Gan Ning quickly ordered.

Gan Ning gave an order, and his brothers started looking for him on the boat.

Merchant ships are no different than military ships. This ship is not that big and has a relatively simple structure.

In addition to the cabins for people, there are several cargo holds. Moreover, the cargo holds are all empty now.

Gan Ning and others searched the ship but found no trace of Zhuge Liang.

Obviously, Zhuge Liang is no longer on the ship.

At this time, Ding Chong came to report: "Brother, some bamboo tubes for drinking water and some hemp ropes were lost on the boat."

With that said, Ding Chong handed over a bamboo tube.

Jingxiang was rich in bamboo, so bamboo tubes were used to eat and drink on board.

Gan Ning took a bamboo tube, looked at it for a long time, and said: "If my guess is correct, Zhuge Liang tied the bamboo tube to his body with hemp rope, and then jumped into the river and escaped."

"Last night there was a strong wind and rain, which happened to be a cover for him. Zhuge Kongming is so courageous! A scholar dared to jump into the river."
