“What are you laughing at?” Zuo Chao asked He then turned around and said to Wen Pin “General I think they have gone crazy and started laughing after their scheht now, it is important that we capture thes later If we do not, Xiakou would suffer even h he was considering Wen Pin’s h he did not look like h to continue with this after Qin Lan’s death

“I laugh at your ignorance! I laugh because General Wen Pin was unknowingly tricked I laugh because your navy is about to be cozhou to becooing on outside Ask one of your trusted subordinates to go and see if it is truly a rebellion Being led around by a naood for your reputation!”

“Are you still trying to argue? General He is just trying to stall for ti on!” Wen Pin started to feel suspect and sent out one of his bodyguards A little while later, the bodyguard returned giving Zhuge Liang and Huo Jun an odd look

“Haha Just like I said Zhuge Liang and Huo Jun intend to rebel!”

“Why are you all still not arresting theuards beside hi and Huo Jun

“Wait!” The bodyguard that had returned suddenly shouted “General They are certainly shouting for a battle outside but it is not one of rebellion!”

“What else if not for a rebellion? Are you telling ht?” Zuo Chao ridiculed

“General Sanjiangkou had been lost They are shouting their intentions to return and take back Sanjiangkou”

“What?” Wen Pin was no longer calkou, Xiakou and Wuchang The one at Wuchang had long since been occupied by the Jiangdong Navy Sanjiangkou was also recently occupied by the with the new technology fro Navy used to battle against Wen Pin Now, Sanjiangkou was lost again

“ItNavy!” Wen Pin shouted without even needing to guess

“General Wen Pin The Jiangdong’s request for a ceasefire is faked to obtain Sanjiangkou! Besides that, this Zuo Chao is a spy fro that tried to obtain infore Liang! You slanderer! I personally heard you and Huo Jun conspiring to capture Xiakou and rebel against Jingzhou!” Zuo Chao shouted back

“Rebel against Jingzhou? I ah dong, zhou! One of my elder sisters even ood position at ’s words were convincing Even Huo Jun nodded and al really had no intentions of rebelling against Jingzhou

“But I heard it!”

“What evidence do you have?”

“Me! I a that he had personally heard this There were nothing that could record in that era “You clai If that is the case, ould I try and expose you?”

“Haha That is easy You want us to have a falling out! You want to persuade General Wen Pin into subduing the rebellion At night, ould not even tell who is ally and who is foe while you just fan the flames At the end of the battle, only a few people would be left alive! Meanwhile, your arkou It is only half a day’s journey fro Navy would be able to easily profit froe Liang narrowed his eyes Fro knew that Zuo Chao had already heard too much and must not live Besides that, Zuo Chao had force Qin Lan to co disaster to the army sooner or later It was best that he die now

Wen Pin took a deep breath in anger If Zhuge Liang’s words were true, the end result would be too frightening Although Jingzhou has thirty thousand navy soldiers, only twelve thousand were elites If so xia would be lost

They had fought in a deadlock for so zhou Navy would not be able to cross the Yangtze River anymore

“Well played I was almost tricked!”

“It is not me! They are the rebels! They are the traitors! It is not me!” Zuo Chao shouted loudly but nobody paid him any attention “General Wen Pin! Youhimself to Wen Pin However, Wen Pin knocked hiuys!” Zuo Chao shouted towards Zhuge Liang and Huo Jun When he looked at Huo Jun, he suddenly shouted again “I understand now! General Wen Pin, I understand now! Those pro…” Zuo Chao had suddenly recalled the provisions taking frozhou Navy The destination of this provisions was Lujiang If he were to speak of this, Zhuge Liang and Huo Jun would be finished as supplying for the enemy was the same as a rebellion

“Huo Jun Send this deceitfulwas also startled as he alot about the provisions

“Understood!” Huo Jun was also not a fool He ih Zuo Chao resisted, he was no ed his sword into Zuo Chao’s chest Blood splashed onto Huo Jun’s face but he paid it no th left his body and he collapsed

“Provi?” Wen Pin still had doubts but placed it at the back of his e If it was not for you, I would have e mistake Please acceptwould not have Wen Pin kneel as he truly wanted Wen Pin’s e in the arh General Wen Pin Do not act like this Everyone eneral here needs to obtain a proper title and be buried properly!” Zhuge Liang looked at Qin Lan as a truly loyal person When asked to die, he went ahead and die These kinds of people were truly hard to find

“This is a necessity I will take care of his child as er, he had lost his head but Wen Pin actually did not want Qin Lan to die However, he failed to stop theelse to be said He looked at the dead Zuo Chao with hatred, hoping to be able to s!”

“Understood!” The two bodyguards replied before dragging away Zuo Chao’s corpse
