Chapter 328: Seeing Lu Kang Again
Facts proved that Sun Ce was a little too nervous. When he arrived at Shaopi, the wind was calm and the officials in Lujiang County were filled with food, he didn't even see a thief.
Mrs. Wu had arrived and was riding an official boat for transporting grain. Lu Kang, the prefect of Lujiang, personally escorted him, and his followers were also following Sun Luyi. When Sun Ce saw them, Lu Yizheng and Sun Quan stood side by side at the bow of the boat, talking and laughing. Sun Yi held a fishing rod and squatted at the bow of the boat, but he was obviously not a fishing material. He scratched his ears and cheeks and kept looking at his anxious look. He probably would have grabbed it directly if it weren't for the cold water.
Sun Kuang and Sun Shangxiang squatted aside. Sun Shangxiang held a knife and was eager to try. Sun Kuang was much quieter. He grabbed the boat gang with one hand and the other, muttering constantly. "Don't be anxious, little sister, little sister."
"Stop talking, the fish are scared away by you." Sun Yi complained.
"You are stupid, you can't catch fish, and you still blame your fourth brother." Sun Shangxiang glared. "Tell my mother later."
"No." Sun Yi quickly changed his smile. "I said, "Little sister, you are a bit biased. Brother Fourth is your brother, but I am not your brother? Look at my busy legs so much that I'm so wet. Why are you still leaning against your fourth brother? If you want to do this again, I'll chat with my second brother and not take you to play."
"Who is so scared to play with you?" Sun Shangxiang curled her lips and looked at her disdain.
At this time, Sun Ce leaned over on the boat, and the boatman put down the springboard and let out a slight sound. Sun Shangxiang turned around and saw a boat approaching. Sun Ce stood opposite and looked at them with a smile, jumping three feet high, rushing towards him on the springboard that had not yet stabilized, jumping up, and pounced on Sun Ce's arms. Sun Ce was shocked. This girl was still holding a knife in her hand, don't stab me. Even so, he didn't dare to let go, it would be awesome if she fell into the water.
"Little sister, don't stalk me." Sun Ce hugged Sun Shangxiang, passed the boat, and greeted Sun Quan and others.
"No, no." Sun Shangxiang was furious. "Brother, look, I'm playing with the knife very well." He started playing as he said, a short knife that was a foot long was flying in her little hand, with a cold light shining and extremely flexible. However, Sun Ce was very nervous by her. The knife was flying in front of his eyes, and he could accidentally cut his face.
"Who taught you to play with a knife?" Sun Ce snatched the knife and deliberately looked at it. "How can a girl learn to play with a knife in every family?"
"I don't." Sun Yi said subconsciously.
Sun Shangxiang giggled and squeezed her eyes. "I learned it myself. Brother, don't look at my third brother. He is not as good as me. He always gets stuck."
Sun Yi wanted to speak but stopped, turned his head and curled his lips. Sun Quan and Lu Yi walked over and bowed. Seeing this, Sun Kuang also came over and followed suit. Sun Ce greeted them, and walked to Sun Yi's fish basket again, looked at it, and before he could speak, Sun Shangxiang laughed.
"Brother, stop watching. He has been busy for a long time and hasn't even caught fish scales."
Sun Yi blushed. "Little sister, I'm really angry."
"You are so embarrassed, you are angry with your little sister." Sun Ce laughed and touched Sun Yi's head. "Good boy, I haven't seen you for a few months, and I've grown a lot taller. Have you been enlightened? What books have you read recently?"
Sun Yi talked about him. "I'll tell my mother that you're back."
"I can't hear you, I want you to inform me?" Mrs. Wu leaned out of the cabin and waved to Sun Ce. "Bo Fu, haven't you come to see Lu Fujun yet."
Sun Ce did not dare to be negligent, so he quickly put down Sun Shangxiang, tidy up his clothes, and walked into the cabin. Lu Kang sat in the cabin with his eyebrows hanging down, his waist straight, and he couldn't get up. Sun Ce knew it in his heart and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"I have met Mr. Lu, thank you for taking care of his mother and younger siblings. My father asked me to greet Mr. Lu, and Zhou Gongjin asked me to ask Mr. Lu for his safety."
Lu Kang forced out a smile and bowed back. "I haven't seen him for several months, Sun Lang is like a new sword, with a sharp and gratifying spirit."
"Mr. Lu has been awarded." Sun Ce pretended not to hear the sarcasm in Lu Kang's words and said a few words of politeness.
After finishing his politeness, Sun Ce introduced Guo Jia to Mrs. Wu and Lu Kang. Mrs. Wu was fine. When Lu Kang heard that he was a child of the Guo family in Yangdi, his eyes looked a little strange and his attitude was much more polite. However, Guo Jia was not interested in him, so he sat aside after saying a few polite words. Lu Kang was a little unhappy, but he couldn't put it on his face.
"Zhongqing, you take Guo Jijiu to count the number. After the handover, we can go back."
A young stern official standing beside him responded and bowed to Guo Jia. "Please follow me if you like Guo Ji." Guo Jia greeted Mrs. Wu and followed him. Sun Ce looked at the back of the stern official and said to Lu Kang: "Mr. Lu, is this your subordinate?"
Lu Kang nodded casually. "Well, he is Jiao Ji, a clerk in the county, with his courtesy name Zhongqing. He is quite meticulous. He is responsible for the amount of food and grass this time. General, I am following the order of the Grand Marshal this time and transporting all the food stored in the county, but if you want it, you will be gone."
Sun Ce couldn't help laughing. "Mr. Lu, I think you remember the number you have more clearly than your warehouse clerk. Before I could speak, you said nothing was gone? Why, do you think this is for my Sun family?"
Lu Kang knew that he had made up his words, stroked his beard, avoided Sun Ce's gaze and responded silently.
Sun Ce stopped his smile. He didn't want to have a conflict with Lu Kang. After all, this old man is not only not a villain, but also a gentleman. He escorted his family to this point, which is considered to be kind to the Sun family. However, when he met Lu Kang, he was secretly hiding his fingers, and now he is posing as uncooperating, which makes him very uncomfortable.
He coughed and said slowly: "If Mr. Lu has advice, you might as well be in person. Although I am young, I still have a little tolerant. I will not slander because of others, nor will I slander because of my words."
Lu Kang glanced at Sun Ce for a moment. "I dare not take the advice, but the general's actions are something that I don't quite understand. I want to ask the general to solve the problem."
"Please speak frankly, and you can speak everything in your mind."
"I heard that the general attacked Xiangyang and killed all the adult men from the Kuai family and Xi family. Is this a matter?"
"have."
"I heard that the general was in Nanyang, attacking people's manors, seizing people's property, and dividing people's land. Is this a matter?"
"have."
"I heard that the general was in Runan and had a conflict with Xu Zi General for two consecutive years, causing Xu Zi General to vomit blood and lose face. Is this a matter?"
"have."
"I dare to ask why the general is like this, and who has made such a bad plan for the general? Shu Kang is ignorant and only heard that the saints are still alive and die, but he has never heard that those who destroy people can be blessed for a long time. Are you not afraid of retribution when doing this? A gentleman is kind to others and is harmonious but different. Xu Zi will be the leader of the Shilin in Runan and reward countless scholars. Even if there is any difference with the general, why should the general treat him like this and leave no room for nothing?"
Lu Yi changed his color in shock and said anxiously: "Big Father..."
