Chapter 27 Jiangdong Old People
The Han women are not as bold as Musa. They like it if they like it, and don’t like it if they don’t like it. Everything is so frank and natural. At this moment, I have a different kind of favor for the beautiful princess in front of me.
It is a complex feeling that looks like a brother but not a brother, and looks like a beauty but not a beauty.
Finally, I agreed to the marriage with Musha. Although I still had some concern for Lu Ti, I also knew that the world was separated by one and there was only one chance in this life, and it would be difficult to save it if I missed it.
Under Princess Musa's deep affection, I stayed in Luling City for three days, but I agreed to the marriage, but did not agree to marry Musa immediately. I am not a saint. I have a bold, intelligent and charming woman like Musa. I am with my body. If I say that there is no desire in my heart, it is self-deception. But I know that if I really try the fruit of lust, with my concentration, I will be intoxicated in the gentle country and no longer think about my great ambitions, wouldn't I let down the beauty?
The reason why Musa fell in love with me was probably due to political and power factors. Such a combination is extremely unreliable. Since ancient times, beauties love heroes, but I have never heard of any beautiful woman who falls in love with Confucian scholars.
How many people in this world want both? Don’t you know that the final result is often to throw away both?
Xiang Yu got Yu Ji, but lost his power. This is a lesson from the past. I don’t want to be the overlord who was surrounded by Gaixia and surrounded by enemies.
How can those who do great things be stung by their children's love?
For this reason, during these three days, I could only try my best to avoid Musa's burning gaze. This flame of lust is happiness and a demon.
When he set off to bid farewell to Luling, Musha finally caught me and blocked me in the room.
My face turned red, and I tried my best to suppress the feelings in my heart, and gasped, "I don't know what's important to you when the princess is here?"
Musa was generous and chuckled, "I'll meet the horse. Please tell me the reason for not getting married. Is it OK?"
I looked squinting and sat upright, saying, "I am very lucky to be favored by the princess, but my great cause has not been achieved and my ambition has not been relaxed. Yuzhang is surrounded by powerful enemies. If I am not careful, it will affect the people at the least, and if I lose my territory and die. I am fond of myself, I think I am stupid and have no talent. If I don't work hard, I may not be able to protect myself from the princess."
When Musha listened to my words, she looked unhappy but was happy. She tidied up her clothes and said seriously: "My husband has the ambitions of all the worlds. How can Musha miss a big deal for his own selfishness? When the husband's great cause is first completed, I will marry you again!"
I was overjoyed and said, "Thank you for your understanding of the princess!"
Musha said again: "Husband, do you still remember the three conditions I mentioned when I negotiated with you?"
I said, "Of course I remember that once a real man says something, he should never regret it."
Musha smiled and said, "Can you guess what my third line refers to?"
I thought for a while and hesitated: "The third one is..."
At this time, Musha gave me a light look, showing the childish expressions, which I had never seen in Musha before.
Musha said angrily: "You can't bear to lose it. Did you really not realize that only Musha is the woman you need the most?"
Seeing that I was silent, Musha said again: "I will wait for you until the day you officially come to marry me."
My heart trembled slightly, for nothing else, only Musa's words wait for me.
It is enough to know one thing in life.
Beauty grows easily, and only in a moment of beauty.
Why am I not moved when Musa dared to betray the tribe for me?
After the sudden change of Luling, the Shanyue tribes that followed my Shanyue tribes established a management agency to govern Lingnan - Luling County. They elected the leader of the Luling tribe, namely Musha's father as the county magistrate, and Fei Zhan, the old city tribe, as the commander of the army. At the same time, with the acquiescence of the tribes, the Luling tribe officially annexed the original Xichang tribe, and became the strongest of the Shanyue tribes.
Although there is still a long way to go to completely make Shanyue surrender, after all, I have taken the first step now. With the rear of Luling County and Princess Musa, I can turn around with confidence, expand my territory and recruit talents, and act in a safe manner.
With the joy and a hint of regret of first deciding Lingnan, I returned to Yuzhang City as if I had returned to Yuzhang City. Hua Xin stood anxiously at the gate waiting for me, probably because she was afraid that I would not return once she left.
I urgently summoned Zheng Hun to come and ordered him to be the governor of Luling County, and brought some familiar people from Yuzhang to help the Luling tribe appease the Yue tribe, organize the people to build water conservancy and cultivate land and land reclamation. As long as the measures to support the people in Luling County can be successfully implemented, so that the Yue tribes and the people can benefit, I will not worry about the dissatisfaction of the Luling tribes.
Liu Ye and Liu Ji have not come back yet, so I wonder what Sun Ce feels about the peace talks I issued?
I asked Liu Ye to wait for an opportunity to pick up Lu Xun, but I wonder if I can meet it?
Just as I was thinking about it, a soldier suddenly ran in from outside and reported: "General Taishici sent an envoy to send a letter to the army and ask the lieutenant to take a look!"
Taishici guarded the line of Shiyin Mountain. At this time, the military report was sent. Could it be that there was news from Liu Ye and Liu Ji? I hurriedly took the letter and opened it and looked carefully. I was overjoyed.
Sure enough, Liu Ji and Liu Ye had returned to Shiyin Mountain, and brought good news that Sun Ce would stop the war. It turned out that when Liu Ji arrived in Jiangdong, Sun Ce and Wang Lang were in a hurry to attack and were unable to get out. Sun Ce was afraid that I would form an alliance with Wang Lang, so he attacked him on both sides; second, seeing that he wanted to sneak attack Yu Zhang and lose his troops, even his subordinate Sun Ben was in service, he would not dare to underestimate our army anymore; third, when I saw that I handed over Sun Ben's head and the captive Deng Dang to him, and gave him a chance to step down, he had to give up in disappointment.
If Sun Ce ignored these things and forced himself to go to war with me, then he would not be the Sun Ce I knew. Since ancient times, those who have accomplished great things have always put the overall situation first. Sun Ce stopped the battle when he saw that the war with me is not good now, and I sighed secretly.
In addition to this news, the military news also attached a letter, but it seemed to be left by Liu Ye. The content was that Liu Ye picked up Lu Xun in Wujun. What was even more gratifying was that Gu Yong and Zhu Huan followed him. I hurriedly ran out of the door and ordered the horse to prepare. I wished I could immediately rush to Shiyin Mountain. The news of Lu Xun coming was more important to me than Sun Ce's fight. What was even more gratifying was that Gu Yong and Zhu Huan also came, which I could never have imagined.
Along the way, I rushed and left my personal soldiers behind from afar.
I wonder if Lu Xun has grown taller and fatter than before?
And Xiao Luji, isn’t he still the cute look with a tangerine in his arms?
As we approached, dust was flying in front of us, and a group of carriages and horses were coming towards me. The words "Taishi" were on the banner. I knew that they were soldiers escorted by Taishici.
Just as I was looking around, a horse flew out from the crowd in front of me and ran towards me. There was a man who was tall and tall, and he was very young. He was Lu Xun.
I shouted, "But Lu Lang?"
When the man heard this, he shouted loudly: "It's me!"
The two horses intersected, and before I could get off the horse, Lu Xun flew towards me, hugged me tightly with both hands, and said, "After Brother Shao Chong left, there has been no news for a long time. Lu Ji and I are worried about you!"
Lu Xun is much bigger and taller than a year ago. I almost didn't know him anymore. My eyes were filled with tears and said, "I am too--!"
At this time, Liu Ye and Gu Yong rushed over behind him. Gu Yong was still the same. He could not tell whether he was happy or sad from his old-fashioned face. Zhu Huan looked excited and had a very happy conversation with Taishi Ci. In the car behind them, his family was following him.
Seeing these old friends made me suddenly recall the past years, and my heart was throbbing. I was sobbing that I couldn't speak. It was really uncomfortable to feel separated from my relatives. It was really lucky to be able to get together again in this chaotic time.
I brushed my sleeves and wiped away the tears in my eyes and asked, "Mr. Gu, Brother Xiu Mu, you are here too!"
Zhu Huan laughed and said, "I didn't expect that you would run to Yuzhang to break into such a big place, so why didn't you call me with me early?"
Gu Yong sighed and said, "I'm not to mention Shao Chong. This time we came to Yu Zhang for refuge. Since Shao Chong left, Zhu Zhi was appointed as the prefect of Wu County. We have been in harmony for more than half a year. Unexpectedly, in October autumn, Xu Gong, a villain with two faces and three swords, saw the situation unfavorable, led his people to surrender Sun Ce and replaced Zhu Zhi as the prefect of Wu County again. With Xu Gong's mind, how could he tolerate us who rebeled on him in the past? Just now, when he was at a loss, Bo Yan received your letter, and we discussed and followed us together."
I was surprised and said, "With Sun Ce's eyesight, can't you tell who Xu Gong is?"
Gu Yong smiled bitterly and said, "In May and June, while Sun Ce's army moved to Kuaiji, Yan Baihu, Wucheng Zou Tuo, Qian Tong and Jiaxing Wang Sheng gathered more than 10,000 or thousands of people. Without supporting Sun Ce, Xu Gong chose the right time to surrender, and Sun Ce had no choice but to use him."
As I said this all the way, I had arrived in Yuzhang without realizing it. I ordered Xu Shao to settle down Gu Yong and Zhu Huan's families, while Lu Xun and Lu Ji went straight to my mansion. Anyway, I am alone now, and with them, it is just lively.
"Boyan, are these people all the families of the Lu Mansion?" I pointed to a middle-aged man about forty years old and asked. I had never seen this person when I was recuperating in the Lu Mansion before.
Just now on the road, I always felt that this person was looking at me with a strange and special look. This kind of look was strange but seemed to have seen it there. However, no matter how hard I tried to find it in my vague memory, I could not find the answer.
Lu Xun asked back: "Brother Shaochong, did you know this person before?"
I was stunned and said, "Boyan was joking, how could I recognize it?"
When Lu Ji heard this, he smiled at me secretly and said, "That might be possible--."
That night, Lu Xun and Lu Ji were exhausted all the way, but I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. As soon as I closed my eyes, the middle-aged man's inquiring gaze flashed in front of me. No matter how I drove and escaped, I could not get rid of it. It seemed that in the dark, this gaze was so friendly and familiar.
Since I couldn't sleep, I simply put on my clothes and got up, lighted the pine oil lamp, and prepared to see the situation reported from all over the place. Suddenly, I heard the sound of reading outside the house: "The heaven and earth are mysterious and yellow, the universe is vast and vast. The sun and the moon are full of brightness, and the Chen is in the air. Cold and summer are coming and going, autumn harvest and winter are hidden. The leap year is coming and going, and the lying is circulating. The clouds are rising and raining, and the dew turns into frost. Gold produces Lishui, and jade comes out of Kungang. The sword is called Juque, and the pearl is called luminous light. The fruit is treasured and the vegetable is heavy, mustard and ginger. The sea is salty and the river is light, and the scales are hidden and feathers fly. The dragon master fire emperor, the bird official and the human emperor—."
This is the "Thousand Character Text" that everyone in children can recite. It sounds even more indescribable when I heard it in this quiet late night. I looked for the sound, but before I knew it, I arrived at the place where the Lu family rested.
In the courtyard outside the room, a man stood with his hands and recited loudly in the clear moonlight. I was stunned. This scene was engraved in my mind. It was so shocking that I finally remembered that there was such a night long ago, when I looked at the round moon in the sky, while listening to the teacher's sonorous and powerful recitation.
"Did you remember?" At some point, the middle-aged man had arrived in front of me.
"Is it Uncle Dai? You are still alive-." My voice trembled.
The middle-aged man looked excited and grabbed my shoulder and said, "Dear, I'm sorry to see you, so I can still see you."
"Uncle Dai, where have you been to these years? Home--." I choked and couldn't say anything anymore. The past events suppressed in my heart were like surging tides, and could no longer be stopped.
The middle-aged man sighed: "I still remember the thing that happened more than ten years ago."
The painful memories of childhood instantly hit my heart. I closed my eyes and let tears fall from my eyes. Over the years, I have long been accustomed to not thinking about the old past, and I have long given up pursuing the reasons for right and wrong. In a person's life, the most sad thing is the ups and downs, but I am fortunate to experience this kind of sorrow at the age of seven.
I said, "I don't remember very much. I only know that after Uncle Dai left, the officers and soldiers searched the house. My mother and I were driven out. We were displaced from Wujun to Moling. My mother helped them live a life of servants. Later, one day my mother fell seriously ill. We went to see a doctor for treatment, but we had no money. When my mother came, she held my hand tightly and refused to let go. I had no money to bury my mother, so I had to sell myself to be a servant for the children of the big family. "
The middle-aged man burst into tears and said, "My high and high-spirited nature is called intelligent and powerful, and his wealth is noble. The descendants of the Gao clan in Wuzhong have fallen into decline, which is all my fault."
At this time, Lu Xun got up at some point and came to us, saying, "Brother Kong Wen, this time your uncle and nephew meet again more than ten years later is a gratifying thing, and you should be happy."
"In recent years, Xu Gong was the prefect of Wu County. I have been wandering overseas and cannot come back. It was not until I heard that Sun Ce occupied Wu County last year that I quietly wanted to come back and take a look."
