Sun Ce waited outside for about half an hour. Finally he became impatient and raised his hand to knock on the door.
With a creak, the door opened, and Wu Xian came out and said softly: "Cer, your mother is sick, and her forehead is terribly hot."
Sun Ce felt nervous and walked in quickly. He saw Wu Shu lying on the bed, her eyes closed tightly and her face flushed. He hurriedly asked: "Second mother, why don't you go and invite the doctor?"
Wu Xian shook his head and said: "Your mother won't let me. She said that the doctors here are different from other places. They are all members of the government. Your mother doesn't want the Sun family to owe Master Liu any more favors."
Sun Ce said firmly: "No, we must ask the doctor to come and take a look."
Wu Shu opened her eyes with force and said feebly: "Cer, you have done so many things to sorry Mr. Liu, why do you still have the nerve to cause trouble for him again? You all go out, I will just take a nap."
Already."
Sun Ce reluctantly left the room.
When he was at a loss what to do, the county magistrate Zheng Shuang came over with a cheerful face, raised his hands and said: "Brother Sun, if you don't have any special arrangements, please stay in this county for a few days so that I can do my best.
friendship."
When Sun Ce saw Zheng Shuang, he seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and hurriedly returned the greeting: "Master Zheng, unfortunately my mother is sick, and Sun and others will probably have to bother you here for a few more days."
Zheng Shuang heard that Sun Ce's mother was ill and said without thinking: "Oh, it turns out that Mrs. Sun is ill. No wonder I haven't seen you come downstairs until now. Don't worry, the gentleman in charge of this county is a disciple of Mr. Zhang from Xiangyang. I am
Just send someone to ask for it, and the medicine will definitely cure the disease."
Sun Ce looked at Zheng Shuang leaving in a hurry, and was secretly happy. You brought this up on your own initiative. It's not like we begged you. Even if my mother knew about it, she wouldn't be able to say anything to me.
There is a doctor named Deng from E County. He is indeed from Xiangyang Medical College. Although his medical skills are not as good as those of Zhang Qing, he is also a disciple of Zhang Ji Zhenger. He is not troubled by ordinary diseases. This doctor Deng gave Wu
Shu took her pulse, then looked at the look on her face, and then she had a plan in mind and said: "Mrs. Sun has been tired from traveling and has suffered some cold. I will prescribe a prescription and take the medicine on time. She will be cured in three to five days."
.It’s just that Madam needs to relax and not be irritable or angry, otherwise it will easily lead to the root cause of the disease.”
With what Dr. Deng said, Wu Shu's condition should not be a big problem. However, Sun Ce and the others could not leave for the time being, so they had to stay in E County. Zheng Shuang didn't care, since Liu Xin had explained it before,
All the expenses incurred by Sun Ce and others were borne by the government, and he only had to follow orders.
In the past few days, Sun Ce did not dare to leave the post house, and took care of his mother with all his heart. Four days passed, and Wu Shu's health gradually improved.
In the past few days, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Zhu Zhi often went to the market to take a look, and the more they looked at it, the more frightened they became. In the past, when they were in Xiangyang, they often went to the streets, and they were also shocked by Xiangyang's people.
It was prosperous, but in their opinion, it was Liu Xin's base camp. Liu Xin must have concentrated all the manpower and material resources in Jingzhou to show such a prosperous situation.
However, in just a few days, Cheng Pu and the others discovered that although E County was just a small county under the jurisdiction of Jiangxia County, its prosperity was no less than that of Lujiang City, where they had been operating for many years. Although E County was not big, its streets were
There are many shops on both sides, and a county school has even been opened in the city. In the past few days, the E County branch of Dahan Bank has also officially opened. Happy smiles can be seen on the faces of the people in the city, and they are obviously very satisfied with their current life.
.
What surprised Cheng Pu and others the most was that there was a long queue at the gate of the county government today. After asking about it, they found out that it was Liu Xin's army who was recruiting soldiers. Cheng Pu and others had a particularly profound experience in this regard. They were in Lujiang
At that time, it was very difficult not to mention recruiting soldiers, but also to recruit soldiers by force. The people in E County in front of them not only volunteered to become soldiers, but also participated in them enthusiastically. What made them even more incredible was that only 80 people were recruited in the entire E County.
There were no less than 3,000 people queuing up to sign up.
Zhu Zhi shook his head and sighed: "General Cheng, General Huang, and madam are right, we simply don't have the strength to fight Liu Xin. Look at the people here, they not only support Liu Xin, they simply worship him. Liu Xin is in their hearts
He must be a god-like existence. It seems that the only way out is for us to surrender to him."
Huang Gai's face darkened and he said, "Jun Li, do you want to betray my lord?"
Facing Huang Gai's accusation, Zhu Zhi said angrily: "Gongfu, do you think I am such a person? The master is no longer here, but the mistress and the young master are still there. What we have to do is to protect them."
To be safe, it is best to assist the young master to create some achievements. Everyone, wake up, it is unrealistic to talk about fighting for the world now!"
Cheng Pu hesitated and said: "If we go to Liu Xin now, will he believe us? Maybe we will humiliate ourselves. What's more, Liu Xin has never revealed his intention to recruit us in Xiangyang for more than four months."
Zhu Zhi said seriously: "Two generals, look at these people who are recruiting, and think about it carefully. It is probably much more difficult to capture a county in Jingzhou than to capture Lujiang. If you defect to Yuan Shu, you will have a chance to revive your life."
Is it the foundation of the Sun family? Yuan Shu is far inferior to Liu Xin. I am afraid that he himself will be taken care of by Liu Xin before long. Besides returning to Xiangyang, is there any other way for us? We
Maybe there is no future, but the young master is young and brave, and there will always be a chance to stand out."
Huang Gai snorted coldly and said: "Anyway, I won't go back to beg Liu Xin. Yi Gong will die in his hands and obey orders under his tent. I can't accept it."
Zhu Zhi knew that Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Zu Mao were brothers and sisters at the beginning, and Huang Gai could not let go of Han Dang's death for a while. He turned his head to look at Cheng Pu and asked: "De Mou, you
Any ideas?"
Cheng Pu looked solemn and said thoughtfully: "We'd better tell the young master what we saw today truthfully and let him make the decision."
Zhu Zhi knew that although Sun Ce was strong in martial arts, he was still just a boy. He was young and had little experience. He still relied on Cheng Pu and Huang Gai for most things. As long as one of the two refused to look back, things would be bad.
Done. Zhu Zhi was already determined to convince Cheng Pu and Huang Gai at this time, so he ignored Huang Gai's fierce eyes and continued: "Two generals, listen to me. You see, troops are being recruited here, we don't need to go
Please Liu Xin, as long as the young master can be recruited to join the army, with the martial arts of the two generals and the young master, one day he will stand out from the army. If Liu Xin continues to be popular in the future, then everyone will be a hero in reviving the Han Dynasty.
, if Liu Xin becomes increasingly obsolete, the Sun family will naturally have a chance to make a comeback!"
Cheng Pu and Huang Gai's eyes lit up when they heard Zhu Zhi's words. The reason why the Sun family had the opportunity they had now, and even almost owned the national jade seal, was all because of Liu Honghuang's evil deeds. For the time being.
Living under Liu Xin does not mean that there will never be a chance: if Liu Xin has always been wise and powerful, then even if they rebel, they will only become a stepping stone for others to climb up; if Liu Xin will one day become like Liu Hong
Same, then it is still unclear to whom the world belongs.
Seeing that neither of them spoke, Zhu Zhi knew that the matter was already half successful, so he quickly struck while the iron was hot and said: "If the two generals have no objections, then we will go back immediately and ask the young master to come and apply."
By the time they convinced Sun Ce and hurried back to the county government office, the long queue just now had disappeared, and even the sign of the recruitment office had been put away. After asking, they found out that Jingzhou's recruitment did not come from these three thousand soldiers.
Eighty people are selected from multiple rankings, and the eighty people who sign up first and meet the conditions are selected. As long as these eighty places are filled, this year's recruitment will be over. If you want to participate in the recruitment again,
Just have to wait until next year.
However, they can't say they gained nothing today. At least Wu Shu was very pleased to hear that they would no longer be enemies with Liu Xin and took the initiative to enlist as soldiers. Her body recovered very quickly and she was gradually able to
The bed was moved. However, Wu Xian's delivery date was getting closer and closer, and it was obviously more inappropriate to continue traveling at this time, so the group had no choice but to stay at the post house.
The news that Sun Ce and the others stayed in E County and did not continue their journey was quickly sent to Liu Xin's desk. Liu Xin only said five words lightly: "Take care of them."
Jushou held up his hands and said, "They also went to E County's recruitment office twice to spy on the secret report sent back by the phantom. It seems they also want to sign up. I don't know what they want?"
Liu Xin smiled and said: "They must be desperate and still want to save face and suffer. If they come back to me directly, I will naturally arrange a position for them and let them do the work and ignore them."
Jushou said uneasily: "Back to my lord, you must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of guarding against others. It is better to be careful when dealing with people like Sun Ce."
Liu Xin knew very well that Sun Ce, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and even Sun Quan all had ambitions or ambitions in their hearts. However, as long as they were included in the account, they would always only have these few people. From now on, history
Even if the civil servants and generals of the Sun Wu Group join again, their allegiance will only be to Liu Xin, not to the Sun family. Even if these people form a small group, it will be difficult to achieve great things, and they will not be able to do anything by then.
Concerned, he waved his hand gently and said: "My lord, there is nothing to worry about. If they seek refuge with other princes or stand on their own, they will be wiped out by us sooner or later. If they come to seek refuge with us, we must treat them with sincerity.
Let all the talented people in the world see that I, Liu Xin, am a person who is willing to put aside past grudges and repay grudges with kindness. Let’s not talk about this matter. What other important things are there?”
Jushou took out another document, handed it over, and said: "My lord, this is the news I just received. Liu Hao is seriously ill."
Liu Xin knew that Liu Hao died early in history, but she didn't expect that he was really sick now. If Liu Hao died now, wouldn't he have harmed the girl by letting Wu Ran marry him? She couldn't help but frowned and quickly asked
He said: "What disease does he have? Have you asked Mr. Zhang to have a look?"
