Lu Xun was writing at his desk, and every stroke was very solemn, as if every stroke might be the last stroke. A short list, but it took a long time to write. He was still writing, as if he would write forever.
Not finished.
Sun Shucheng held Lu Kang's hand, stood quietly at the door, looked at it for a moment, then turned and left. Although Lu Kang left with his mother, he reluctantly turned his head, hoping that his father would see the pleading look in his eyes and stop.
Give him a hug, play with him for a while.
Unfortunately, Lu Xun never raised his head, as if he didn't even know that his wife and children had been here.
Lu Mingzhu stood in the corridor, watching Sun Shucheng coming towards him, smiled slightly, and saluted sideways. Sun Shucheng returned the salute silently, turned around and was about to leave. Lu Mingzhu thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Sister-in-law, brother
…It’s also for the sake of the country.”
Sun Shucheng stopped, turned around, looked at Lu Mingzhu for a moment, and said with a faint smile: "Sister, I am a woman of the Lu family now, not a daughter of the Sun family. State affairs are not something that a stupid woman like me can worry about.
, I only care about my family, my husband, and my son."
Lu Mingzhu sighed softly and bowed slightly to salute. Sun Shucheng bit his lip, took Lu Kang's hand, turned around and continued walking. Lu Mingzhu watched her disappear around the corner, and then walked quickly to Lu Xun's study, Lu Lan
He caught up from behind, glanced in the direction of Sun Shucheng, and walked side by side with Lu Mingzhu, but said nothing. The two of them entered the study one after another, looked at Lu Xun who was sitting at his desk, and sighed in unison.
"What's the matter?" Lu Xun didn't even raise his head, narrowed his eyes, picked up a protruding pen bristle, and dragged the pen on the inkstone again.
"Brother, please stop writing. The king already knows your suggestion, so what's the point of writing anymore?"
"But he hasn't accepted it yet."
"If you write again, will he accept it?"
"If he doesn't accept it, I will write again."
"Why are you bothering?"
"I'm just trying my best. It's not hard work." Lu Xun stopped writing, was silent for a moment, and then said resolutely: "I can't watch him play with fire and worsen the situation in Jingzhou."
Lu Mingzhu frowned, a little annoyed. Lu Lan was also a little angry, and his voice became louder: "Uncle, you are loyal. But the king doesn't think so, and neither do the people around him. They
I thought you were scared out of your wits by Wei Ba, and Tan Ba’s expression changed..."
"What they say is their business." Lu Xun suddenly raised his head and looked at Lu Lan displeased: "A gentleman should walk the straight path, but why should he follow the mean people? They only see Wei Ba. But they can't see far.
Zhuge Liang in Chengdu. Although Zhuge Liang is good at power, he knows when to act and when not to act. When Wei Yan is guarding Guanzhong, what accident will Zhuge Liang let his son Wei Ba have? This is obviously a plan."
Lu Lan did not dare to look directly at Lu Xun and lowered his head timidly. Lu Mingzhu breathed out slowly: "Brother, what you said may make sense, but now Xiling is no longer your jurisdiction. The next war will not be
It’s not up to you to command. No matter what you say makes sense, it will only make the king unhappy. It will only aggravate the matter and will not benefit the country’s affairs. If you are demoted because of this, you will not have the chance to say it in the future. "
Lu Xun was stunned for a moment, sighed, and slapped the pen in his hand heavily on the case. Ink splashed everywhere, and a ball of ink splashed on his heart, and slowly fainted, like black blood or black chrysanthemum. Lu Xun
Mingzhu glanced at it, his heart moved, and his fingers moved like flying. Suddenly his face changed drastically.
"What's wrong?" Lu Xun asked in surprise when he saw Lu Mingzhu's expression was not good.
Lu Mingzhu pondered for a long time and said word by word: "Xiakan and Shangkun, six three. Master or corpse, bad luck!"
Lu Xun was doubtful: "It's just a counter-rebellion, what's the point?"
Lu Mingzhu looked at him and smiled bitterly: "I don't think so, but the hexagram is like this, so I just said it."
Lu Xun thought for a while and picked up the pen again: "Then I should remonstrate again."
Lu Lan looked at Lu Mingzhu and shook her head. Lu Mingzhu's face was pale, he bit his lips and said nothing more.
…
Jiangshi, Jinsi, south of Xiling City.
Dunwu and Han Zhenying walked side by side, looking around, chatting and joking from time to time, looking relaxed and natural, like a newly married couple.
"Ah, look, double-sided brocade!" Han Zhenying suddenly seemed to have discovered a treasure. She rushed over and picked up a sample piece of Sichuan brocade. She couldn't put it down. The shopkeeper behind the counter took a look and said quickly: "The girl really has good eyesight.
, this is a double-sided brocade that has just arrived in Chengdu, and the quantity is limited."
"Really? I like it." Han Zhenying turned her head, took Dunwu's shoulders and shook her: "How about we buy one?"
Dunwu frowned and scolded angrily: "What do you want from this thing? When I get back to Chengdu, I will give you two horses."
"Really?" Han Zhenying's eyes were bright and her excitement was palpable.
The shopkeeper was unhappy. "This little brother, if you are not a little old man, I can't speak. This kind of double-sided brocade is a specialty of Chengdu workers. There is no other one. Even if you are a relative of the emperor, I'm afraid you won't be able to get it."
One and a half horses. You asked for two horses at the outset, which seems a bit excessive, right? This girl is so beautiful and virtuous. Only a good woman like her is worthy of this double-sided brocade. If you are reluctant to buy it, forget it.
Why bother saying such big words?"
"That's right, you lied to me." Han Zhenying threw Dunwu's arm and said angrily: "You don't have a double-faced brocade at all."
Dunwu rolled his eyes: "You don't believe what I say, but you believe this bad old man? Don't you know that no businessman is a traitor? This double-sided brocade is for sale only, how can it be found in the market by the river? Who knows
Where did he steal it from? Maybe it was where Jiang Pirates sold his stolen goods."
When the shopkeeper heard this, his expression suddenly changed. He said solemnly: "Young man, you can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense."
"Then tell me, where did your double-faced brocade come from?" Dunwu crossed his arms and shook his legs calmly: "I heard that two months ago, a brocade ship from Chengdu was hijacked.
Yes, there is a double-faced brocade among them, it couldn’t have been done by you, right?”
The shopkeeper snorted and flicked his sleeves: "That's nonsense! If you don't want to buy it, just leave. Don't stop me from doing business."
"What if I don't leave?" Dunwu took the sample of the double-sided brocade handkerchief from Han Zhenying and looked at it over and over: "The more I look at you, the more you look like a Jiang bandit. If you send this to the government, it will cost a lot of money."
With the reward, at least buying this handkerchief won’t be a problem.”
The shopkeeper was startled, then put on a smile, walked around the counter, and raised his hands to Dunwu repeatedly: "Sir, you are really good at talking. Please come in and let us discuss something. If you are tight on money, little old man
I don’t dare to say too much, but I can still get the thousands of dollars. How about we go have a drink and talk slowly?”
Dunwu did not refuse. The shopkeeper winked at the young man next to him and enthusiastically led Dunwu out of the city. They left Jiangshi and walked around to a secluded place and entered a small
Courtyard. As soon as you enter the door, several people are squatting
The men who were chatting in the corridor stood up. Most of them were bare-chested, some were wearing trousers, and some were wearing crotchless pants. All of them had dark faces, kinked muscles, and fierce eyes. At first glance, they were not serious people.
.
The shopkeeper, who had been smiling like a flower along the way, stopped smiling now, and his face was as cold as ice. He left Dun Wu and Han Zhenying behind, walked quickly to the hall, sat down in the hall, and shouted: "Tell me, which way?
Friends of water, dare to come to my place to eat the wind."
After saying this, the men scattered around in twos and threes immediately gathered around, surrounding Dun Wu and Han Zhenying. Each of them clenched their fists, showed their muscles, and struck Dun Wu and Han Zhenying at the slightest sign of disagreement.
It means to kill on the spot.
Dunwu calmly looked at the strong men around him, pulled the filial-faced Han Zhenying behind him, slowly took out two things from his arms, spread them on his palms, and slowly turned them around: "These two things,
Which one do you know?"
The strong men looked at each other, and the ferocious expressions on their faces faded away, turning into confusion. The shopkeeper in the hall couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw it. He was about to get up, pushed away the nervous strong men, and gave a
When he got to the hall, he put the things in his hands on the table in front of the shopkeeper: "What about you? Who do you know?"
When the shopkeeper saw it, his eyes that had been squinting suddenly widened. He was stunned for a moment, grabbed the black wooden sign, and asked in a trembling voice: "You...who are you? How...how can you have this?"
This Panhu Order?"
Dunwu's eyes flashed and he said calmly: "You should have heard just now that we are coming from Chengdu."
"Chengdu?" The shopkeeper looked at Dunwu and hesitated for a moment: "Your accent is not a Chengdu accent."
"I am not a native of Chengdu, just like you are not from Nanjun. This is not surprising, right?" Dunwu said with a smile: "As long as this Panhu order is true, then we are friends."
The shopkeeper pondered for a moment: "The Panhu Order is true, but this Panhu Order has been missing for many years, so I have to be more careful. Furthermore, you not only have our Panhu Order, but also the legendary Golden Bell, I
I can’t help but understand your identity.”
Dunwu nodded and looked around: "Is it convenient here?"
The shopkeeper nodded: "Conveniently, these are all brothers I can trust. They are all good men who have been through life and death."
"That's good." Dunwu took the Panhu order from the shopkeeper: "I'm here to take you home."
"go home?"
"Yes, I believe you won't get used to being river pirates and forget your hometown, right?"
"Of course not." The shopkeeper said without hesitation: "Over the years, we have missed our hometown day and night, but Wu Gou has taken a strict look at us. We seem to be free, but we cannot cross the Yangtze River. Once we reach the south bank, we will be hunted down by them.
Can you... really take us home?"
"Of course." Dunwu took out a small black rhinoceros seal from his arms and said with a serious face: "I am a close associate of His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. I am General Dunwu, the personal guard of Wei Ba, and I am hereby ordered by Wei Ba.
Come and contact me to help you with this great event."
