Chapter 205: Lies to the World (I)

Compared to the wounded Wang Yao, Zhuge Liang still looked the same as before entering the canyon; his face was thin, his skin was pale, and his pair of dark green eyes, which had lost their former mysterious and deep qualities, also looked distracted and lifeless. The overall impression he gave was that he was terminally ill.

But at this moment, Wang Yao was in no mood to pay attention to these things, because he suddenly discovered that this man whose behavior was difficult to guess seemed to have anticipated that he would come to question him!

"Military advisor knew I was coming?" Wang Yao asked coldly.

Zhuge Liang spread out his hands, silently glanced at the tiger talisman that originally belonged to Wang Yao, and then gently placed it on the table: "Yes, I know."

The military tent was terribly quiet and depressing enough to suffocate an ordinary soldier!
"Then do you know why I'm here?!" Wang Yao's voice became even colder.

Zhuge Liang raised his eyes and looked at Wang Yao expressionlessly. In the cold eye of this soldier, Zhuge Liang saw deep disgust, resentment, and undisguised hostility.

However, even so, Zhuge Liang remained indifferent: "I know that too."

Wang Yao's breathing gradually became heavy and rapid.

"Don't you have anything to say?" Staring at Zhuge Liang's face, which was as hard as cement and showed no trace of guilt or remorse, Wang Yao began to tremble slightly uncontrollably. He breathed hard, endured it, and searched, hoping to find what he wanted to see on Zhuge Liang's face, which was free of any emotion.

But Wang Yao was disappointed after all.

Zhuge Liang lowered his head and remained silent for a second, then gave his response coldly: "The nature of this world is so cruel. I don't think you need to come to me to ask for an explanation just because a few soldiers died. Such behavior will only make you look too naive and ignorant."

As soon as the indifferent voice fell, there was a sharp sound of "whoosh" without any warning, and golden light flashed and the power flow danced wildly! Finally unable to bear it any longer, Wang Yao directly activated the flash and came to Zhuge Liang in an instant. He struggled to lift the table between them, grabbed Zhuge Liang's collar with both hands, and directly pulled this peerless man who was at the top of the officialdom to stand up.

"Childish?! You killed so many people, how can you still lecture me like this without any reaction?!"

Pulling Zhuge Liang's collar hard, Wang Yao was like a volcano that had been silent for a hundred years finally erupting. With red eyes, he roared and screamed madly at the face that was so close to him.

"Are you heroes really a bunch of emotionless monsters? Even if they are just lowly soldiers, they still count thousands of lives! They all have their own names, Su An, Maomao, Shi Liang, Xiao Ye! They also have their own families, they have married and had children, they have their own future, they have elderly parents, and they have babies waiting for them to come home in Jingzhou!! But now, because of your decision, they have all died in the enemy's high ground and turned into a pile of bloody corpses! You may not even find their names in the death register, and their families will not even know about it. Even when the casualties are counted after the war, they are regarded as missing persons and removed as a fraction! Do you know all this? You know, you know shit! "

However, at this point, no matter how many accusations and accusations there were, they could not vent all the anger in Wang Yao's chest.

On the way back to the highlands, Wang Yao had been forcing himself to endure it because Zhuge Liang had taken in the displaced Luna. The battlefield in the canyon was changing rapidly, and even the wisest of strategies could make mistakes. This was understandable. So he hoped that after returning to the highlands, he could see Zhuge Liang's confession, even if it was just a little bit of fake sympathy! At least, he could find a reason to comfort himself.

In order to achieve victory, sacrifice is always inevitable, and Wang Yao understands this.

But what he saw now was Zhuge Liang, who was just a cold-blooded monster who had no guilt at all and didn't care if one more or one less soldier died!

In this canyon, is life valuable? Why did Maomao and the others die? Just for these inhumane heroes? !

"You disregard and trample on life for the sake of your own victory. What qualifications do you have to sit in the position of commander-in-chief of the three armies? What the hell is your wisdom?!" Wang Yao could not tolerate this kind of thing, so amid endless roars, he opened his red right eye in anger, and punched Zhuge Liang hard on the cheek with extreme indignation.

boom! !

This punch was loud and fierce, and it was filled with all of Wang Yao's strength and anger. Even a powerful hero like Zhuge Liang could not help but fly backwards. With a loud "bang", Zhuge Liang's seemingly weakened body smashed a huge bookshelf in the military tent, and paper pages and bamboo strips immediately scattered all over the floor.

Even so, Wang Yao showed no sign of being relieved. Instead, when he realized that Zhuge Liang did not dodge and did not take his punch intentionally out of guilt, he became even more furious, adding fuel to the fire!

This kind of attitude of pretending to be profound is really disgusting and hateful. To use a more popular word, it is just like "I like the way you can't stand me but can't do anything to me"!
"Do you really think I can't kill you now?!" The tragic experience on the Wei highlands had already made Wang Yao heartbroken. Seeing Zhuge Liang's annoying look at this time, he had no patience at all. Cursing angrily, he walked to the ruins in three or two steps, grabbed Zhuge Liang by the collar again, and planned to punch him again.

At this moment, the sound of heavy metal boots stepping on the ground suddenly came from all directions outside the military tent. In just three seconds, a large number of fully armed blue-armored soldiers rushed in from outside the military tent.

"Master Military Advisor!"

"Let go of the military advisor!"

"Do you know what you are doing?!"

Wang Yao's breaking into the commander's camp had been exposed, causing an uproar in the highlands. When the soldiers rushed in like a beehive and saw the scene inside the tent, in just a moment, all the blades were pointed at Wang Yao angrily. Since Zhuge Liang took office as the commander-in-chief of the three armies of Shu, no one had dared to behave so disrespectfully to Zhuge Liang!
Everyone kept yelling and cursing, staring at Wang Yao, who was filled with hatred, as if he were an enemy, as if Wang Yao had blasphemed the most majestic god in their hearts. In this situation, if Zhuge Liang was not pinned down by Wang Yao at this time, they would probably rush over and cut Wang Yao into pieces!

Grabbing Zhuge Liang by the collar, Wang Yao stared coldly at the soldiers behind him. Looking at the soldiers' angry and unfamiliar faces, at this moment, a trace of sadness slowly emerged in the depths of his eyes.

What's wrong with these soldiers? How many of their comrades, brothers, relatives, and sisters died in the canyon at a young age because of these heroes? Why do they still protect the heroes so much, even worshipping them like gods? Is it just because they want to be heroes too, so they would rather be like crazy fans, blindly worshipping them, letting the heroes send them around, even willing to go through fire and water?

This is simply the most banal stupidity!
For the first time, Wang Yao felt a strange emotion towards the soldiers in the canyon, and at this moment, he suddenly felt his hands empty. In a faint blue light, Zhuge Liang, who was originally grabbed by the collar and pressed under Wang Yao, directly activated his second skill "Time and Space Travel" and disappeared out of thin air.

Wang Yao seemed to have expected this. Three seconds later, he turned his head and looked coldly into the depths of the military tent. There, Zhuge Liang was sitting elegantly on a simple-looking armchair, looking expressionlessly at Wang Yao who was surrounded by soldiers.

Surrounded by the faint blue light, Zhuge Liang's figure seemed like a holy god in the sky, overlooking all living things. The invisible sense of terror and oppression seemed to be telling everyone present that Wang Yao could not hurt him at all!
Things happened so fast that the soldiers who were still worried about Zhuge Liang being suppressed by Wang Yao just a second ago, after three seconds of hesitation, a centurion immediately reacted: "Come here, take this traitor down immediately and execute him on the spot!"

The roar woke up the soldiers, and almost at the same time, they all rushed towards Wang Yao with murderous intent, swinging their swords and slashing! Countless shining blades formed an inseparable sword net, and in just a moment, they could cut Wang Yao into pieces!

But Wang Yao did not move at all.

Or it should be said that his left eye, filled with resentment, ignored all the swordplay around him and only reflected the figure of Zhuge Liang, silent and speechless!

At the last moment when the soldiers' blades were about to hit Wang Yao.
"stop."

A faint voice came out from Zhuge Liang's mouth slowly.

Zhuge Liang's voice was not loud, but at that moment, the huge military tent was like a screen with the pause button pressed, and all the images were frozen in that second.

More than a dozen sharp blades stopped only one centimeter away from Wang Yao and could not move forward any further.

Such a scene is really weird, but in fact, the soldiers were not bound by any mysterious force. They all stopped instinctively just because of Zhuge Liang's words!

In the Kingdom of Shu, Zhuge Liang's words have always carried the most weight, even more than Liu Bei.

A captain turned around, confused but respectful: "Master Military Advisor, you..."

Before he could finish his words, Zhuge Liang interrupted and said, "You all should leave."

The soldiers were all stunned, and many of them looked indignant. It seemed that in their opinion, a soldier like Wang Yao should be executed immediately to serve as a warning to others!

Of course, after Zhuge Liang's nonchalant look, the soldiers finally trembled and put away their weapons, and retreated from the military tent in unison.

The conflict came and went quickly. When everything calmed down, Wang Yao was still standing alone in the center of the military tent, and at the top, Zhuge Liang was also sitting upright. The two of them looked at each other coldly, as if the friction just now had never happened.

"Do you think these soldiers are pathetic?" After a while, Zhuge Liang suddenly broke the silence.

However, he did not seem to want to know Wang Yao's answer, nor was he interested. Instead, he continued, "Although the monthly salary is pitifully low, even if our hero's orders are unreasonable, the soldiers have to go through fire and water to complete them. Even so, they are driven by us without any complaints. Do you feel unfair about this?"

Zhuge Liang's light words actually touched Wang Yao's heart with every word, but Wang Yao did not give any response. He just stared at Zhuge Liang, because this was not what he really wanted to say.

As a result, Zhuge Liang's pair of green eyes slowly turned back to clear, as if they had penetrated Wang Yao's heart. After a three-second pause, he spoke again: "The subordinates of your troops were not brought to the Wei highlands by me."

Wang Yao was stunned, then a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. Just as he was about to speak, Zhuge Liang interrupted him.

"I don't care whether you believe it or not, this is the situation, and I don't need to explain anything. Because it doesn't matter anymore."

At this point, Zhuge Liang slowly raised his head and looked at the darkness on the top of the tent. A rare hint of sadness flashed across his calm eyes: "The most important thing is that Su An is dead after all. An era ended because of him, and it also started because of him. He had no choice, and you..."

“There is no choice either.”
