At this time, winter is coming, and even the autumn cicadas become mournful.
The leaves turn yellow and the dead leaves are everywhere, accompanied by the "sound of sharpening the knife" in the Arhat Village, a desolate picture.
Lu Xun's fever has subsided a little bit today. He held the wall and staggered to the kitchen. Sun Ru was decorating medicine for him.
"Boyan? Why are you here?"
When Sun Ru saw Lu Xun, she hurriedly helped him sit down.
Lu Xun sighed and murmured softly: "I don't worry about you here!"
Sun Ru poured the medicine into the bowl, "Boyan is not worried about me, it is obvious that she is not worried about your son..."
According to Sun Ru, Lu Xun's son is naturally the eldest son of the third wife of the Lu family - Lu Yan.
As for the "son's side", it was at the "Guanshan Stone Cave" early this morning. Lu Yan went to count the weapons and traded money and goods.
"well…"
Lu Xun seemed to be depressed by his unscrupulous body.
——"Don't have a high fever in the morning, and don't have a high fever in the evening, but this is the time."
Sun Ru handed the medicine cup to Lu Xun, "Stop guessing, it's noon, and the news will be sent back soon."
Lu Xun looked at the slightly rippling black liquid in the bowl and said in surprise: "This medicine?"
Sun Ru whispered beside him: "Last night, I saw that your high heat was getting worse, so I added some roasted licorice and ginger."
Lu Xun sipped the medicine in a small sip, his brows frowned bitterly.
suddenly…
A servant from the Lu family ran in, "Master, Madam... It's not good. In the Guanshan cave, there is a dispute... it is a dispute!"
Lu Xun choked, quickly put down the bowl, suppressed the cough twice, wiped his sleeves casually, and asked uneasily.
"Why... why did you get into a dispute? Is it... it's with the Jiaozhou merchant?"
"It's a Jiaozhou native, but it's not that merchant." The servant answered truthfully: "It's... another group of Jiaozhou natives. They said that this batch of goods belongs to them, so the young master started arguing with them.
”
this…
Lu Xun became obviously nervous, his hands couldn't help but tremble. The high fever that had finally stabilized suddenly became stronger, and the temperature suddenly rose again, and his whole body was also a little shaky.
Sun Ru hurriedly supported Lu Xun, and she opened her mouth and said to the servant: "There is no dispute for no reason. What happened this morning? Tell me in detail!"
The servant swallowed and quickly answered truthfully.
It turned out that this morning... Jiaozhou Shangjia Shi Huolong told them that the armies had been complete and asked them to go and count them in advance. After more than an hour, the goods were clearly counted, and the goods were not bad at all.
So Lu Yan handed the gold to Shi Huolong, which was considered as paying the money and delivering the goods in one hand.
Shi Huolong was also very happy. After counting the amount of gold, he directly removed all the guards in Guanshan Cave.
In theory...
If money and goods are cleared, the transaction will be concluded.
Lu Yan ordered the Lu family to move the ordnance to the ship and still transport it back to Dongwu by water.
But... I never thought that when they moved these batches of weapons, there were still people moving them.
After the Lu family discovered it, they asked those who were carrying the ordnance, and both sides insisted that the goods belonged to them.
Because they all rely on the people behind them, their tone was not good, and only three or two sentences... The two sides argued, and even showed signs of taking action.
Lu Yan naturally went to argue too.
The servant came back to report when he saw that the situation was wrong.
At this moment, this process was reported, and Lu Xun felt the swelling and pain in his head...
Even Sun Ru couldn't calm down.
Sun Ru asked anxiously: "Why do they say that the ordnance belongs to them?"
"I don't know if the young one..." The servant stared at his eyebrows. "From their accent, we can tell that they are from Jiaozhou, the wilderness of Jiaozhou. These Jiaozhou people are extremely reckless. It seems that they also heard that we are from Jiangdong. The tone of their speech is that they speak.
You're even more polite..."
Just then...
"Class leader, patriarch..." Another servant rushed over. "No, no, fighting in the Guanshan stone cave started, fighting... The two sides in the Guanshan stone cave started fighting!"
When Lu Xun blurted out his words, he felt countless cold sweat pouring down his forehead. However, because of the cold sweat, some of his high heat was dissipated.
"Ahem..."
He couldn't help but coughed, but reached out and ordered, "Take me there...Take me there!"
Fighting because of a batch of weapons...
This is no longer a trivial matter.
There are two possibilities, one is that this merchant is at work.
After they got the money, they still ambushed people here to find fault. The purpose is... perhaps to make another profit, or they have no intention of selling this batch of weapons to the Lu family.
The second type is that the location of this batch of weapons has been exposed. If... if you consider that the other party is from Jiaozhou.
That…
Could it be that the sage changed? He also covets these arms?
It was also difficult for Lu Xun to think of two possibilities under such a weak body.
No matter which one it is, Lu Xun felt that... his son Lu Yandu might not be able to handle it properly.
"Take...hehe...take me..."
Lu Xun said to Sun Ru, the tone of the heavier this time.
"Boyan..." Sun Ru gritted her teeth, "But your body..."
"Class leader, it's not good." Another servant rushed over, "Those Jiaozhou people were killed... There were crossbows everywhere in the cave, and the two sides shot at each other. The young master... He was hit.
Crossbow arrows! Our Lu family members are fighting desperately with those from Jiaozhou!"
ah…
Crossbow arrow? Shooting?
Has it reached this level?
Lu Xun only felt a "kick" sound in his heart.
At such a close distance, so many crossbows, they need to shoot against each other... Then... how can there be life?
"Yan'er, Yan'er..." Lu Xun tried hard to support himself and walked out the door, but he only took two steps. With a "bang", he fell heavily to the ground.
"Boyan, Boyan..." Sun Ru hurriedly helped her up.
Lu Xun made a low voice, "Yan'er...Yan'er!"
——"Take me there, take me there... hurry... cough cough... take me there!"
…
…
Jiangling City, noon.
A notice from the prefect's mansion was posted in the city.
The people came to the notice in groups of three or three, and read the words aloud in a literate way.
——"The Cao bandits disobeyed, the heavens were angry, and the emperor brought righteous troops to attack the Cao bandits, recovered Nanjun, and vowed that the Han bandits were incompatible!"
——"However, when the Cao bandits fled into Xiangfan, they deployed dozens of Wei spies in Nanjun, and for several years, bribed officials, bribed key points, and conveyed information. This is indeed a constraint on the great cause of the development of Han in Nanjun!"
——"However, there was a thief Cao's official, the fourth son of the Guan family, Lin, who knew the thief with a wise eye, arrested dozens of Wei spies within one day, and attacked more than a hundred treacherous slanders who surrendered to Wei. Now they confessed, their letters and stolen goods,
The carved plates are all checked for goods, and the evidence is conclusive. They are specially displayed here to serve as a warning to others!”
A series of "evidences" are also placed next to the announcement...
These were all handed over by Wei Ji, led by "Wang Qi", which was enough to prove his identity as Wei Ji, and also gathered some of their previous actions into a picture album and posted next to the notice.
All the onlookers couldn't help but "shocking..."
Looking at the boxes of stolen goods, the people whispered and whispered.
"I said with my own eyes that the night before yesterday, I dug out 100,000 gold in a house next to my house... I heard that it was buried by Wei Spies in the soil and used to bribe officials in the Nanjun."
"If it were as you said, then... if Mr. Guan Si had not found out these Wei spies and these bribed officials, wouldn't it be... Nanjun's every move was exposed to the eyes of the Cao thief?"
"Isn't it? Otherwise, why did Guan Gong return in vain after repeated northern expeditions? These Wei spies have taken many behind their backs!"
"At the same time, what method did Mr. Guan Si use to arrest these Wei spies? Logically speaking, since they are Wei spies, they should have received strict training and should be hiding them very strictly."
"Yeah, you don't know. I heard that there was a Wei spy named 'Wu Liu'. He reported to Mr. Guan Si, and then he caught all these Wei spies in one go. Prefect Mi also specially commended Wu Liu!
Changxin Restaurant has given him all!"
"Then aren't this 'Wu Liu' afraid that the family in the North will be harmed by Cao Cao?"
"Haha, one general has achieved success and has thousands of bones blew away. In this world... If you want to be glorious, how can you care about so many people?"
"Hey, look at the list of bribes. Yesterday... the one who made the most fuss with the scholar Li Mang turned out to be the officials bribed by Wei Ji..."
"No wonder?"
Just as the people were talking.
On a wooden stake next to it, a shirtless man was tied here. His body was exposed, but he cursed: "The four sons of the Guan family humiliated me, I am irreconcilable with him, I am with him
Unlike the sun and the moon, I want to eat its flesh raw, and I want to drink its blood!"
This man is Li Miao...
In fact, few people turn their attention to him.
It’s not because of anything else, mainly because others are not good-looking and have a bad figure.
However, there were a few people looking at Li Jian with extremely despised eyes.
"It almost delayed our Nanjun's burden of clearing out Wei spies because of you!"
"...It should...you should be humiliated! If I were Mr. Guan Si, I would never be so kind to you!"
"If it weren't for the announcement today, if it weren't for these evidences, you, the villain, would have been bewitched by you, and you mistakenly blamed Mr. Guan Si. Bah! You are also famous scholars, villains, villains in Shu!"
A mouthful of thick phlegm spit on Li Miao's face.
Li Miao's arms and hands were tied, and the thick phlegm could not be wiped off...
This made him feel uncomfortable and humiliating.
But he didn't even have the stance of admitting his conscience.
——"I'll bite you to death..."
——"Children Guan Lin...Don't let me see you again, I'll bite you to death!"
There was a Confucian scholar among the gathered crowd. He raised his eyes deeply, looked at the notice, and turned slowly... But when he turned around, he couldn't help but look back, and stared at the shirtless Li Jing deeply.
One glance.
…
…
Changsha, Guanshan stone cave.
When Lu Xun was supported and rushed here, there was already a sea of blood.
At such a close distance, the power of the crossbow was infinitely magnified.
As long as someone shoots the first crossbow arrow, the two sides shoot each other... under a "thump" wave, there will never be a winner in this stone cave!
Blood…
There were blood everywhere, hundreds of people... almost a large area was poured down, and the rest were all lying on the ground and moaning.
The huge power of the crossbow is almost dead at such a distance!
And this scene gave Lu Xun the most intuitive feeling, which was four words - shocking.
"How could this happen?" Sun Ru was so shocked that she couldn't breathe.
She seemed to hear something in her ear, and quickly turned around, raised her long sleeves... A shadow arrow shot out from her cuff and hit the eyebrows of a Jiaozhou man.
Accompanied by two "dong, dong", the Jiaozhou man fell to the ground, and his pupils were even wide open...
Holding the crossbow firmly in his mouth.
It seemed that he was going to attack Lu Xun just now.
"It is not advisable to stay here for a long time..." Sun Ru hurriedly reminded.
"Where is Yan'er? Where is Yan'er?" Lu Xun quickly ordered: "Look for him, find him!"
Lu Yan is Lu Xun's eldest son and his only son so far.
At least now, he is still highly expected by Lu Xun... This is the future of the Lu family, and this is the hope of the Lu family.
"Boyan..."
"try to find…"
Lu Xun roared hysterically.
"Dad...Dad..."
At this moment, a miserable and weak voice came out, and one hand was raised among the dead.
Lu Xun didn't care about his physical weakness and quickly knelt down to dig...
After digging open the bodies of two large Jiaozhou men, he finally saw his son.
"Yan'er, Yan'er..."
Lu Xun covered Lu Yan's face...
"Dad..." Lu Yan's voice was as thin as a gossip, "We've been trapped... we've been trapped..."
Lu Yan's words were like a flash of light.
Lu Xun only felt that the strange thing that he felt after hearing this "strange thing" at the same time. He suddenly figured out something and felt a war in his heart!
"This...this..."
Lu Xun breathed rapidly and he gritted his teeth.
What are reselling weapons and what are agreed transactions? This is just... it is all a game.
A bureau that introduces two buyers into the same batch of ordnance.
This is a strategy for two tigers to compete for food...
It was only now that Lu Xun discovered that this was a strategy for two tigers to compete for food!
After confirming that Lu Yan was not in danger of his life, Lu Xun's eyes remained on the crossbow in his hand.
The above four words "Huang Lao Xie" are still clearly visible.
Lu Xun gritted his teeth: "Yellow...yellow! Old! Evil!"
When he chanted this, cold sweat had dripped on his forehead...
He seemed to have thought of something extremely miserable.
When he was sent to Jiangling, Zhuge Jin and his son fell into the hands of "Hong Qigong".
And he, Lu Xun... was already careful enough.
But... in the end, it was completely in the hands of this "Huang Lao Xie"!
It hurts to plant it, but it hurts to plant it!
It is ten times more tragic than what Zhuge Jin and his son have been sown!
etc…
The cold sweat caused by the huge shock made Lu Xun calm down and analyze the matter.
He looked around...
Looking at the crossbows that fell down the strong men, the side vans that had been stained with blood, wooden ox and horses.
He suddenly thought of something again.
If...if this is a game, then next...there is one less step, that is...that is, there are still some people missing to finish!
Sure enough, it was as Lu Xun expected.
"Class leader, patriarch..."
A Lu family army ran quickly, "I found the officers and soldiers of Changsha County on the Guanshan Mountain. Is the county magistrate personally leading the troops, and was rushing towards this stone cave."
——『I know!』
Lu Xun couldn't help but clench his fists...
——The mantis stalks the cicada, and the oriole is behind!
——If two tigers compete for food, how could the hunter not benefit?
but…
Lu Xun still couldn't bear it, but still couldn't bear it...
His eyes were full of regret, looking at the crossbow, side van, wooden ox and horse in the stone cave...
He is unwilling to give up!
——Not to give up!
But... what else can I do now?
"Boyan, Yan'er is still seriously injured, and the officers and soldiers are coming. If they don't leave, it will be too late." Sun Ru advised repeatedly.
At this moment, Lu Xun's facial features on his cheeks were tightly condensed together.
This expression is just six words - there is no greater sorrow than death in the heart!
"--well!"
"--well!"
After a heavy sigh, Lu Xun could only hold up unwillingly. He ordered in his extremely hoarse voice: "Go... go!"
——"Take Yan'er and go!"
I can only bring Lu Yan...
This crossbow, this wooden ox and a horse, and this side van, he... can't take it away.
The 200,000 hu of grain from the Lu family were converted into gold... and could not take it away!
Following Lu Xun's instructions...
Sun Ru commanded several Lu family soldiers who followed him immediately carried Lu Yan and Lu Xun on their backs, and quickly evacuated before the officers and soldiers of Changsha County arrived.
Come with great enthusiasm...
But, he went in shame!
And in this stone cave, there were even a lot of corpses.
And here, the blood gathered together and had turned into streams... slowly and red.
There is a bloody smell everywhere, and this smell is disgusting!
Not long...
A group of officers and soldiers rushed over quickly.
The voice of Liao Li, the governor of Changsha County, chanted at the same time.
"——In Changsha, there will be such a horrifying fight in such a bright world. Come on... and catch them all!"
It seemed that after this sound, Liao Li noticed something.
That's right...
It was the side van, the wooden ox and the horse, and the... the crossbow that killed people!
Seeing these, Liao Li subconsciously held his chin.
He muttered in his heart.
——『Is this the surprise mentioned on the note of Hong Qigong?
Looking at the four words "Huang Lao Xie" with golden light on a crossbow.
Liao Li couldn't help but murmur.
"Hong Qigong, Huang Laoxie!"
For a moment, he was a little stupid and couldn't tell the difference.
But soon, he came to his senses.
He shouted.
"——These weapons are all stolen goods, so take them all back!"
