Chapter 157 Uneasy
On the way back to his residence, Wang Yao was alone, carrying the vegetable basket, with a frown on his face and silent.

In the end, he didn't make it public immediately.

Although they were surprised to discover Cao Cao's whereabouts in Jingzhou by accident, it was too late. Not only had Cao Cao already met the person he wanted to meet, but he had also left Jingzhou. Calling for help at this time would not only be useless, but would cause unnecessary unrest and panic.

That’s right, there might be an enemy inside the Shu Kingdom!

This accidental discovery made Wang Yao feel uneasy.

He had no idea of ​​the identity and status of the insider, and how did Cao Cao come to Jingzhou? This also made Wang Yao puzzled.
While Wang Yao was lost in thought, he had returned to his residence without realizing it.

At this time, Huang Zhong was sitting on the threshold of the door as usual, basking in the sun while fiddling with his cannon. The ground was littered with metal parts of all sizes.

Wang Yao, who was still confused, immediately ran over as if he had found someone to help him solve his puzzles: "Uncle, I have a question for you."

"Young man, watch your step." Huang Zhong glared at the noisy Wang Yao indifferently. Wang Yao was only one step away from kicking the artillery parts all over the ground.

"Ask, but stay away from my spare parts. If any of them is missing, my artillery will be ruined."

Wang Yao immediately put down the basket in his hand, squatted down and asked: "If the enemy units want to come to our Jingzhou, do they have to go through the teleportation matrix on the canyon battlefield?"

"That's right in theory." Huang Zhong said calmly while assembling the cannon with parts, "Not only our Shu Kingdom, but any faction in the King's Continent is surrounded by trillions of demons. The danger level is so high that even if three armies enter, they may not be able to get through. That's why there is such a convenient teleportation matrix. It is said that in ancient times, the teleportation matrix has always been a bridge for the exchange of cultural resources between the two countries, and it was not opened only for war like it is now."

Wang Yao paused, and after a while he remembered that when he first participated in the Canyon War, before passing the teleportation matrix, Maomao had said something similar to the Demonic Zone to him.

At this time, Huang Zhong's voice continued to sound.

"Of course, for you little soldiers, the demon zone may be an insurmountable chasm, but it is not the case for us heroes."

"Can the heroes pass through the demon zone?" After hearing this, Wang Yao finally understood.

Cao Cao didn't use the teleportation matrix at all, but forced his way across the demon area and killed his way here!
Thinking back, Hua Mulan must have taken him across thousands of mountains and hills, and endured many hardships before arriving at the Kingdom of Shu, right?
"Heroes do have the ability to pass through the demon zone, but unless there are special circumstances, heroes generally won't do so. After all, the demon zone surrounding it is vast and boundless, and some demons can even threaten heroes." Huang Zhong frowned slightly, as if he was remembering something from the distant past.

Hearing this, Wang Yao immediately became more uneasy.

Cao Cao went to great lengths to come in person, which shows that this unknown insider is extraordinary.
Thinking of this, Wang Yao asked solemnly: "Uncle, what if, I mean if, if there are spies in Jingzhou, what should we do?"

"Of course I reported it to the military advisor. You are just a soldier in a legion, you have no right to manage the government affairs in Jingzhou." Huang Zhong blurted out without thinking, but as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly stopped what he was doing and turned to look at Wang Yao. He felt that this soldier was a little strange today: "What do you mean by this?"

"No, I was just asking casually." Wang Yao hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not tell Huang Zhong about Cao Cao.

In fact, Wang Yao was not interested in Zhuge Liang and was not very familiar with him. In his impression, apart from his solitary figure, there was only a pair of cold blue eyes that seemed to have seen through the truth of the world and were free of any emotion.
But for some reason, at this moment, Wang Yao felt as if it would be better to talk to Zhuge Liang about this matter first.

Perhaps, the calmer and more indifferent a person is, the more sense of security he or she can give others.

At noon, when Wang Yao had finished preparing lunch and had just set the table, a graceful figure appeared at the door.

"I'm back, uncle. Ayao, I'm hungry!"

But it was Luna who came back on time.

Normally, Luna only needs to train in the morning and goes home to eat after noon.

"Did you make some king oyster mushroom sauce? Haha, I can smell it from far away!"

As soon as she entered the door, Luna ran directly into the kitchen to wash her hands. At the same time, a pleasant laughter like the sound of crisp wind chimes came, as if eating was a very happy thing for this girl.

The slightly dull pavilion seemed to have regained its vitality because of the girl's arrival.

Wang Yao poured a bowl of chicken soup and handed it to Huang Zhong. He turned around and got a wet towel, and a gentle smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Are you tired?"

"It's okay!" Luna took the towel and wiped the water stains remaining on her slender hands, then smiled brightly at Wang Yao.

At this time, maybe because she had just finished training, Luna's growing silver hair looked a little messy, and a few strands were soaked with sweat and fell on her cheeks, setting off her snow-white face, pretty and touching. Wang Yao looked at the always energetic white-haired girl in a trance. At this moment, the inexplicable feeling of uneasiness that had been lingering in his heart finally disappeared.

For him, perhaps as long as this girl is by his side, he can face it calmly even if the world collapses.
"Eat." At this moment, a dull cough intentionally or unintentionally interrupted Wang Yao's deep gaze at Luna.

Luna carried Huang Zhong on her back, smiled sweetly and stuck out her tongue at Wang Yao, then sat down at the dining table happily, and couldn't wait to pick up a piece of fresh and juicy king oyster mushroom with chopsticks and put it into her mouth.

Wang Yao glanced at Huang Zhong, who was still drinking soup with an expressionless face, and shook his head with a slight wry smile.

Huang Zhong still did his best to pour cold water on others as usual. This seemed to have become a habit and a daily routine.

"Is the military advisor at the base camp outside Jingzhou this afternoon?" Wang Yao asked Luna before finishing his meal because he was still concerned about Cao Cao.

"Yes." Luna held the tip of the chopsticks in her mouth. Her beautiful eyes under her long eyelashes looked at the table full of fragrant dishes very seriously, as if she was hesitating about which dish to eat next.

Wang Yao found it funny and interesting to see Luna hesitating about which dish to eat first. He picked up a piece of pork belly and started chewing it right in front of Luna.

Luna, who was hesitating, raised her head and glanced at Wang Yao. Then, like a child who likes to imitate adults, she also picked up a piece of pork belly and chewed it slowly with a satisfied look on her face.

"Are you going to find a military advisor?" Huang Zhong couldn't help rolling his eyes when looking at the young couple in front of him.

Wang Yao knew that Huang Zhong was a little unhappy, but he didn't dare to go too far. He nodded and said, "Yes, I have something to ask him."

Luna muttered beside him, "The military advisor usually works at the base camp in the afternoon, but if you don't have anything important to do, it's better not to disturb him."

"What's wrong?" Wang Yao was stunned.

Luna thought for a moment and said, "The military advisor has not been in a good mood recently."

Wang Yao frowned slightly.

Not in good spirits?
After lunch, as the only "male servant" in the house, Wang Yao consciously cleaned up the table and went out.

However, he did not tell Luna and Huang Zhong that he was going to see Zhuge Liang, so Luna did not follow.

It took half an hour to get out of Jingzhou City and reach Zhuge Liang's base camp.

Over all this time, Wang Yao had only been here twice, once for the interview before joining the legion, and once when he was promoted to captain of a thousand men.

But at this moment, looking at the huge military tent in front of him and thinking of Zhuge Liang's eccentric character, Wang Yao became hesitant again.

He really didn't like being with Zhuge Liang. Subconsciously, he still blamed Zhuge Liang for pushing Erda to the bottom lane for his own selfish desires.
And history always repeats itself in a striking way.

Just like the first time he came, when Wang Yao was hesitating, Zhuge Liang's deep voice, which seemed to predict the future, came from the big tent.

"come in."

Having had the experience of the first time, Wang Yao was not surprised by this. He curled his lips, gritted his teeth, lifted the curtain and walked in.

The inside of the military tent was still the same as before, spacious and a little dim. At the very top, a man in blue and white armor was sitting there.

That was Zhuge Liang, the most powerful official and the supreme commander of the three armies of Shu Kingdom.

But
A month later, when Wang Yao saw Zhuge Liang again, he was stunned.

At this moment, Zhuge Liang was sitting weakly, and he no longer had the aloof and cold feeling that he gave Wang Yao the first time, as if he had seen through the essence of the world and regarded everything in the world as nothing. On the contrary, he looked very haggard, very haggard, and much thinner. His face was as pale as paper, his cheeks were sunken, and his eyes were covered with sickly dark circles.
Just like a patient with terminal cancer.

Wang Yao was stunned and opened his mouth, unable to speak for a long time.

How slow is Luna? She looks sick and like she is about to die. Is this called mental illness? !
