Chapter 10 Young Lu Xun
"Xiao Ji, don't you like lazy bed the most? How did you change your temperament today!" I smiled.
Lu Ji bent down and grabbed a handful of snow, rolled it into a ball and threw it at me, saying, "Hmph, sister has almost pulled my ears off, how can I not come?"
"Is Miss Lu looking for me?" I asked. Although there were not many servants and maids in the Lu family, they followed me. It was not as convenient as when I met Lu Ti and talked on the boat. This time, Lu Ti was looking for me.
Lu Ji pouted and said, "Sister said, let you hurry to the ancestral hall!" After that, he ran away first.
The ancestral hall is the place where the ancestors of the Lu family are worshipped. What does Lu Ti ask me, an outsider, to do? She has any important things to say or make a major decision. I hurriedly packed up my clothes and guessed while walking.
In front of the gate of the ancestral hall, fruits, water chestnuts and other sacrificial items were already arranged on the table. In the hall, the incense and smoke were lucky. Lu Ti led a group of tribesmen to kneel in front of the ancestor's spiritual throne. Seeing me in, Lu Ti nodded and signaled me to stand aside first.
After a moment of courtesy, Lu Ti entered the inner room and changed into a black and white Taoist costume. Unexpectedly, when she put on this simple Taoist costume, she looked a little more natural beauty and charming.
Lu Ti stepped forward, took Lu Yi's hand, knelt down at his ancestors with incense, and said loudly: "Li Zuli Zong is in the best, and the unfilial son Lu Ti leads Lu Ji. Lu Yi and all the people in the clan respect him: Since the Lu family moved south in the first year of Emperor Huan's first year, they have lived in Wu County for five generations. My father Kang was the prefect of Lujiang, and the clan leader was the leader. In the first year of Xingping, Sun Ce launched an army to destroy Lujiang, and my father was also unclear about his life and death. It has been two years since then! Ji's son was young, and I have been alone with a woman. I have been frightened to see the sunset of the family. Now Yi'er is about to be weak in the year, and he is steady and reliable in his work. He can be disciplined and disciplined when Ji'er becomes an adult. He will be polite and establish his own family."
After hearing what Lu Ti said, I realized that she wanted to hand over the Lu family to Lu Yi. When Lu Ji invited me, an outsider, to come, it was probably a testimony. In addition, according to the unique customs in Wuzhong, a man would hold a ceremony to add a crown when he was fifteen years old, and he would give a title to the name. Such ceremony was usually hosted by the elders in the family, and then someone outside the clan would be invited to comb his hair and tie his crown. This is the whole number.
At present, according to the rules of his ancestors, Lu Yi gave etiquette to all the ancestors in the spiritual position one by one, and then officially took the ruler of the family symbolizing power from Lu Ti, and then officially changed his name to Xun, giving the name Boyan, and supporting the rules and regulations of Lu Ji on behalf of him.
After the transfer of the family’s accounting books, money, grain, income and expenditure, etc., Lu Ti called me aside and said, “Do you know the purpose of my wish for you here?”
I said, "Lu Yi's seniority is younger than the previous generation. There is a slight conflict between the support of the portal and the clan rules. This time I will let me testify."
Lu Ti's Taoist robe was fluttering, and the black and white were now so harmonious. I suddenly felt like a fairy from the sky descending to the mortal world, and then set off her simple and elegant face and bright and lively eyes. I was in a state of excitement and almost lost my mind.
Lu Ti said: "This is one of them. It is logical that Xiaoyi will not officially turn 15 until the year of the year. Now it is a little early to hold the etiquette, but I will travel with my master tomorrow. When I am uncertain, I will make arrangements for my family. This is the second one."
I was speechless for a moment. Over the past few days, Lu Ti's every frown and smile and every word she said have been deeply rooted in my heart. To me, Lu Ti is no longer just my savior, but also a confidant who is connected with me.
I still remember that when I heard the thousands of wars and dangers on Shenting Ridge on that day, when I heard about her, the expression on her face was nervous and moved by the desperate situation I was in. Her eyes even more praised. When I talked about how I pretended to be Taishi Ci to take Sun Ce in order to get the soldiers out of trouble, Lu Ti couldn't help but slap in high fives and said, "Young man is chivalrous and promised to be worth a thousand gold, so it's a man!"
I said sadly: "Miss, I really don't know when we will see each other again?"
Lu Ti said: "My teacher was originally a Taoist priest from Langya Palace. In the year of Emperor Shun, he went to the mountain to collect herbs and obtained a magical letter on the Yangququan water, called "Taiping Qinglingdao". More than a hundred volumes were all precepts for curing diseases. Two days ago, the master wrote a letter saying that the floods in the area south of Kuaiji were raging, and the epidemic was turbulent, and many people died. As evangelists, we, who taught us, learned a whole body of medical skills and used talismans to save people from all diseases. This is an urgent matter, so how can we refuse?"
When Lu Ji heard our conversation, he hurried over and grabbed Lu Ti's hand, refused to let go for a moment, and cried and said, "Sister, Xiao Ji can't bear to leave!"
Lu Ti gently stroked Lu Ji's head, as if he was reluctant to leave. After a long time, he said, "Would you not cry? As the descendant of the Tao Palace, saving the people from water and fire is a righteous act on behalf of Tian Xuanhua. Just like when we saved Brother Gao Chong that day, God asked us to do it. In life, you must face some things bravely and resolutely do it, so that you can live up to your great years and be worthy of your seven-foot body."
Lu Ti's last sentence seemed to say to me, yes, life is like a flash of time, just a hurry, my injury has almost healed, a comfortable life is not what I yearn for, and the place that belongs to me should be the battlefield of passionate blood and full of passion.
The snow was gone, and Lu Ti's figure gradually disappeared from the snow. However, my eyes were still fixed in the direction where she disappeared, as if her slender hands were still gently surrounding a strand of black hair hanging by her ears, and the black hair wrapped around her fingers seemed to have tied a knot in my heart.
Lover knot.
The wind blew up a corner of my clothes, pouring all the coldness of this winter night into my body, but I couldn't feel the cold at all. In my chest, a ball of fire was burning.
Just for her.
The snow beads fell on my face, and there was a kind of coldness that penetrated my heart. In this moment, I finally realized that Lu Ti met me before leaving to say the last sentence. In fact, she had seen through what kind of person I was, and she knew that I would not be willing to live under others and do nothing.
A good man should be determined by a thousand miles, lead thousands of horses and troops to kill the enemy in front of the formation, achieve success in a hundred generations, and build a career that is ten thousand feet long.
...
In the late winter of December of the second year of Xingping, after obtaining the Shentingling Victory, Sun Ce led a large army into Qu'a, adopted the advice of Zhang Zhao of the Changshi Pengcheng, and Zhang Bang Anmin informed the counties that those who had Liu Yao, Zurong and other hometown troops came to surrender, did not ask about what they had done before, and those who were willing to join the army alone would be exempted from the taxes and service of the whole family, and those who were unwilling to join would not force them.
In just less than a month, the people of the four towns responded and gathered together to make the total number of Sun Ce's army reach more than 20,000 and more than a thousand war horses, which shocked Jiangdong.
At the same time, Sun Ce sent Danyang Duwei Zhu Zhi to lead troops from Qian Tang to attack Wu County.
Xu Gong, the prefect of Wu County, issued an edict to meet the "Four Clans of Wuzhong" and various powerful men from Jiangdong to join forces at the Sword Pond of Huqiu Mountain to discuss the plan to fight the enemy. The four surnames of Wuzhong are Gu, Zhang, Zhu and Lu. In fact, in terms of the strength of the great tyrants of the Wuzhong clan, the name of the four surnames is not appropriate. The more practical title should be three great masters: "One Gu, one Zhu and two Zhang".
Since Lu Kang lost Lujiang, the Lu family began to decline. However, the Gu and Zhu families were thriving. The one who supported the "Gu" family was Gu Yong. Yong was a disciple of Cai Yong, a famous scholar. He learned piano and calligraphy, and was the best in Jiangnan. He was recommended by the prefectures and counties. He was the eldest son of Hefei and had great governance. The Zhu family had Zhu Huan, who was more noble than the noble character of wealth and righteousness. Huan was named Xiumu, and he was known for his strong reputation. He was not forgotten for many years. When he encountered epidemics, he would hide his parents and medicine. The titty porridge was one after another, and the scholars and people were grateful for it. Zhang Yun, the Zhang family also had famous scholars, and Zhang Wen and his son, who supported the scene, which was much better than the Lu family, who had only women, children and children.
In fact, no matter the three families or the four surnames, as time goes by, the influence and status of the aristocratic class represented by "Gu, Zhang, Zhu, Lu" has long been deposited in historical memory. No matter who became the ruler of Wujun, he could not avoid this issue, and Xu Gong was the same.
I read the letter from Lu Xun and said, "Sun Ce's army has advanced to Youquan. Xu Gong's invitation must be to discuss the strategy of defending the enemy. However, with Xu Gong's power, how can he stop Sun Ce's elite army? Bo Yan may not go to this sword pool meeting."
"Brother Shaochong, the sword pool is leaping and tigers are leaping. The heroes gather together. I have sent someone to ask Mr. Gu, Mr. Zhang and Brother Xiu Mu. When I was in the middle of the eye of the crowd, my four surnames would advance and retreat together. I think that in full view of everyone, Xu Gong dared not be arrogant." A desire appeared in Lu Xun's eyes. I knew it would be useless to persuade him. He, who is the new leader, needs a chance to prove himself.
I sighed and said, "Since that's the case, please allow me to go with him."
Lu Xun was overjoyed and said, "Boyan is just trying to do this."
Tiger Hill - Sword Pool.
Thinking of the era when the princes competed for deer and fought over the Central Plains, in the battle between Wu and Yue, Helu was injured and died in the battle. Fuchai returned to the funeral and was buried in the sea rushing mountain outside the Puchumen. It is said that more than 6,000 pairs of sword armor were buried with him, including fish intestines, Gan Jiang, Mo Ye and other sharp weapons, and gold and jade plays, filling them with them, and there are even more unknown numbers. After they were buried, all the workers were killed to sacrifice.
"Helu's burial was to form mountains through soil, to accumulate soil into hills, and to produce 100,000 people from the five capitals. They governed thousands of miles together, and made the elephant transport soil and dig a pond. It was 60 miles wide, with a water depth of one meter, three levels of copper coffin, mercury was poured into a pond, and gold and jade were used as ducks and geese." The last glory of this place has been sealed underground with the treasures that were buried with them.
Now, this scenic spot has ushered in a group of latecomers. The powerful people from all walks of life in Wu and Yue have been storing their own flags to every corner of the hill of Huqiu. In any case, this gathering is the best opportunity to show their strength, and no one will miss it easily.
Xu Gong, the prefect of Wujun, was the protagonist of this slogan. He only read the books of sages and was not skilled in martial arts. This time, he was wearing a helmet and armor. He abandoned his pen and ink and put on a look of going to fight. However, the heavy armor pressed against his weak body, just like a little boy wearing adult clothes, which was really funny.
In a sense, Liu Yao's quick defeat made these powerful men who were separatist in the separatist areas feel warm. This time, the powerful men were frightened by Sun Ce's unstoppable offensive and finally realized that a single resistance would be to hit the stone with eggs. Wujun Yan Baihu, Wu Cheng and Zou Tuo and others sent envoys to seek alliances to fight against the powerful enemy.
Among the four surnames in Wu, except for the Lu family, only two of them arrived at the scene. Gu, Zhang and Zhu families all brought private soldiers from their clans. Although the number was not large, it was obvious that most of them were selected to be elite soldiers who could defeat ten.
Seeing that everyone came, Xu Gong rushed onto the stage. After coughing a few times, he tried his best to shout: "The heroes and heroes look down on Xu and come to this meeting without hesitation. It is a blessing for Wu County. Now Sun Ce and Zhu Zhi are invading, disturbing our villagers and killing our people. Xu Gong is not talented. He is willing to spend all his family's food and wealth, and invite all heroes to join the army of benevolent and righteousness to fight against the powerful enemy together!"
Before Xu Gong finished speaking, he saw a big man holding a knife standing up beside him and shouted, "I, Yan Yu, was entrusted by my uncle, and I am willing to lead my troops to follow the prefect to fight against the thief."
Yan Yu's uncle was Yan Baihu, the largest leader among the Wu County bandits. When Xu Gong was in office, he was angry with the common people and sent troops to fight Yan Baihu. Now Sun Ce attacked Wu County, Yan Baihu and Xu Gong's territory were the first to be hit. It is not surprising that they abandoned their past grudges and joined forces.
Yan Yu, the powerful representatives from Wucheng, Jiaxing and other places expressed their alliance to fight against the enemy, but most of them took advantage of the chaos to occupy one side as kings. The only supporters of the aristocratic clans came out to speak, such as Gu Yong, Zhang Yun, Zhu Huan, and Lu Xun among the four major families in Wuzhong did not speak out.
The shouts of shouting in the venue were getting sparse, and Xu Gong's already thin horse's face was getting longer and longer. It was obvious that if the gentry led by the four surnames "Gu, Zhang, Zhu, and Lu" did not participate, the appeal of the alliance this time would be very limited.
Xu Gong's cold eyes swept across the side where the four surnames gathered, and turned to the foot of the mountain behind us. In his eyes, I seemed to see a kind of vicious madness. I followed Xu Gong's gaze and found that several black shadows were shaking among the dense treetops, reflecting the sunlight with a little sharp weapon.
I felt a little nervous and thought it was not good. Xu Gong and Yan Baihu had probably joined forces long ago. This conference may have been a Hongmen banquet for the four surnames Gu, Zhang, Zhu and Lu.
At the stalemate, a man with a bloody face with a servant ran up from the foot of the mountain. When he saw Zhu Huan hurriedly snatching him, he immediately said a few words in Zhu Huan's ear, and Zhu Huan's face suddenly changed.
"Xu Mu, what happened?" Gu Yong asked.
Zhu Huan's face was flushed, his eyes were angry, and he said angrily: "Mr. Gu, Mr. Zhang, now at all intersections leading to the foot of Huqiu Mountain, many guys in black and armed with weapons blocked the intersection. Anyone who wanted to go down the mountain was blocked by them. These people were very skilled in martial arts. Several of them forced to pass the barriers were chopped off by them. I suspect that some of them were probably diners raised by Xu Gong's mansion."
After hearing this, Gu Yong looked solemn, pondered for a long time and said, "Xu Mu suspected that there is evidence?"
At this time, Zhu Huan's face was already swelling like a purple eggplant. He replied after hearing this: "Mr. Gu, besides the bloody tourists in Xu Gong's mansion, are there anything else in Wujun?"
