Chapter 48: Return to Shu County

Shu County, Lujiang Prefecture.

In the backyard, there were sounds of chatting and laughing in the wind, and Lu Kangzheng held a banquet to entertain Zhou Yu and his party.

"Come on, come on," Lu Kang raised his wine cup to Zhou Zhong. Zhou Shangjing said: "Master Zhou and Zhou Taishou, both of them are officials in the court. They are well-educated and knowledgeable. Now that they move their families to Lujiang, it is a blessing for the people of Lujiang. I can also ask you often for advice. Come and have another drink." After that, Lu Kang drank the wine in the cup.

Zhou Zhong smiled and said, "Ji Ning, I have not been a Taiwei for a long time. I have returned home today because I am attached to my hometown. After all, fallen leaves still have to return to their roots."

Zhou Shang continued: "Ji Ning is a talented man in Jiangnan. He has long surpassed us in his knowledge. How can I ask for advice? However, when I have time, everyone gathers together to appreciate flowers and drink wine. This is the beauty of life. Haha."

When Lu Kang heard this, he smiled slightly, put down the wine cup and said, "It is certain to bother a few glasses of wine. The Zhou family is a famous family in Jiangnan, and I think it will not be short of these wine money. But..." Lu Kang frowned slightly and pondered: "Master Zhou came from Luoyang. I believe he has heard of the Luoyang Rebellion. Although the eunuchs were eliminated, the riots were traversing the forbidden palaces and killing innocent people. Such things can actually happen at the foot of the emperor. It is indeed my expectation, but I don't know what the people think about this matter?"

Zhou Zhong nodded and said, "What Ji Ning is worried about is also what I am worried about. Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, all forces have been holding troops and respectful. Now the emperor is young, Empress Dowager He is not the former Empress Dowager Deng, and the former General He Jin is also a mediocre person. This has caused some people with heavy troops to be jealous and think that they have the opportunity to take over the power of the world. Luoyang is invincible, this world..." Zhou Zhong said while observing Lu Kang's expression, and then said, "The chaos in the world has already arisen, and it is probably beyond the efforts of a few capable ministers."

After hearing this, Lu Kang looked as usual and bowed to Zhou Zhong and said, "The Taiwei's understanding of the situation in the world is definitely not something I can compare with. However, Kang thought that the Han Dynasty had been in the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years since Emperor Gaozu's killing of snakes, and had experienced the test of Wang Mang's usurpation of the throne, but it has repeatedly turned danger into safety. In the hearts of the people, the Han Dynasty is irreplaceable. Although some villains now have some plans, it is difficult to shake the country and country of the Han Dynasty. Kang thought that as a Han minister, he was the Han Dynasty, even if he was torn to pieces!"

Lu Kang's last few words were so powerful and passionate.

"Papa..." A few applauses came, and Zhou Yu stood up and said, "Premier Lu is loyal to the Han Dynasty, and his sincere heart makes Yu admire him."

Lu Kang felt that what he said just now was a bit serious, so he smiled and said, "The nephew Zhou is a young hero from the south of the Yangtze River. The village hero formed this year has played a great role in maintaining public order in Lujiang. Now he was appointed as the head of the Juchao by the court. Just like my right-hand man, it seems that I can feel much more relaxed, haha."

Seeing Lu Kang praising him so enthusiastically, Zhou Yu hurriedly said modestly: "Uncle Lu has won the awards, and Yu will ask you more advice in the future."

"However, Yu has something to ask for." Zhou Yu changed the topic.

"What's the matter? Tell me." Lu Kang grabbed a chicken leg and put it in his mouth and chewed it.

Zhou Yu said: "I heard that there are many bandits in Juchao, all industries have withered, and many people have moved away. The local tyrants I originally trained were to protect the country and safeguard the people. I want to transfer them all into Juchao and carry out the task of suppressing bandits. What do you think?"

Lu Kang thought to himself, the army you have formed by your own money is originally a private soldier of your Zhou family, and I can't even rob it, so he followed the flow and said: "There is a reasonable nephew's words, the public security is not stable, and the local area is in peace. I will issue a transfer order tomorrow to transfer them all into Juchao and you will be in command. OK?"

Looking at Lu Kang's smiling face, Zhou Yu knew that although Zhou and Lu's families had a good relationship, they were now in Lu Kang's hands, and it was a relationship of superiors and subordinates. It was very important to gain Lu Kang's trust. Now it was time for him to express his opinion. He stepped forward and said, "Uncle Lu, in terms of family interactions, you are Yu's elder, in terms of talent and knowledge, you are Yu's famous teacher, in terms of work relationships, you are Yu's boss. Juchao is very close to Shu County. If you manage it well, it will be of great benefit to the development of the entire Lujiang. Although Yu is not talented, he is willing to be the leader of Uncle Lu, manage the place, resist the bandits, and give me a Lujiang where the people live and work in peace and stability and peace!"

Lu Kang showed admiration on his face. Although he was a little worried that Zhou Yu might not lose his strength after his support from the Zhou family, in the face of the current chaotic situation, who can know how the situation evolves? The Zhou and Lu families are in the same family and have a deep friendship, so there is no reason to limit his development now. In his mind, as long as the premise of being loyal to the Han Dynasty remains unchanged, everything they do can be negotiated.

Besides, in Lu Kang's heart, he likes Zhou Yu, a handsome face, polite behavior, strategic mind, and martial arts. He has a son in middle age and his son Lu Ji is still young, only two years old. If he grows up, he will be one-tenth of Zhou Yu, Lu Kang will be satisfied.

Lu Kang took Zhou Yu's hand and said with a smile: "It is the court's blessing to serve the court with such a talented nephew. I have the help of my nephew, so I can worry less about the matters in Lujiang."

After saying that, Lu Kang said to Zhou Yu sincerely: "I know the talent of my nephew. After arriving at Juchao, I will take some new methods to carry out local governance. I fully support you in this regard! But remember, it is best to communicate with me first for major matters to avoid misunderstandings."

Zhou Yu knew that this was Lu Kang's trust in him, and he also had a kind reminder. He immediately stated: "Uncle Lu, don't worry, there are still these decisive things. My two uncles moved to Lujiang and will also supervise Yu's actions."

Zhou Shang laughed and said to Lu Kang: "Let's just form a supervision team. If you have something to do, you can supervise and supervise, drink and write poems. Ji Ning, what do you think?"

Lu Kang smiled and said, "Brother Zhou, I don't want to care about trivial matters too much. In recent years, I feel a little old and can't understand many things. There are talented people in the country, and a new generation is better than an old one. In the future, the world will depend on young people like Gongjin and others."

Zhou Zhong shouted from the side: "It's too tiring to talk about work. Come on, Ji Ning, we haven't seen each other for a long time, but today I won't be drunk. Yuer, take the imperial wine I brought back from Luoyang!"

The sky is far away and the clouds are light, and the autumn is clear and the air is cool.

A white dove flew freely in the blue sky. It flew over Zhou's house and circled down, falling directly to Zhou Yu's house.

Zhou Yu saw that the pigeon was as white as snow, and his forehead was a little red, which was Dabai. Now Xiaoyuer's team of pigeons has expanded rapidly to forty or fifty, and Dabai has been upgraded to a special pigeon between Zhou Yu and Xiaoyuer. He is very familiar with him. When he saw Zhou Yu coming, he flew to Zhou Yu's shoulder and rubbed his head intimately with his head, making a "gugu" sound.

Zhou Yu gently stroked Dabai's feathers with his hands, then took off the thin bamboo tube under Dabai's feet, took out a thin piece of paper, and opened it and saw that there were only a dozen beautiful small characters on it: "Tell me something, come to the small wooden bridge outside the east gate."

Outside the east gate of Shu County, the winding Shu Canal flows in the winding Shu Canal, which is clear and clear. The wooden bridge on the river is small but exquisite. It is made of sturdy wood, and the tentacles are polished very smoothly.

Zhou Yu saw a pretty figure standing on the bridge from a distance, holding the railing and looking down, looking at how the fish in the river were swimming.

Who else could that woman be if she wasn't Xiao Yu'er?

When Zhou Yu was on the bridge, he wanted to use light skills to make no sound, so he could suddenly appear and scare Xiaoyuer. However, when he saw Xiaoyuer's side face, his eyebrows were frowning slightly, as if he was full of worries, Zhou Yu gave up, coughed gently, and walked slowly to the wooden bridge.

Xiao Yuer turned her head when she heard the sound. Seeing Zhou Yu in white clothes as snowy as she was, the corners of her mouth suddenly curled up. She changed to a smile and looked at Zhou Yu with a smile.

After not seeing each other for several months, Zhou Yu felt that the little fish had become much more mature. If I used to feel more like the tacit understanding of childhood sweethearts, I feel more like the strong aftertaste after the youth. Although it is not particularly sweet, it has a unique taste.

Seeing Xiaoyuer looking at her with a pretty smile, Zhou Yu couldn't help but feel moved, and he responded with a hurried smile: "Why, watch Xiaoyu swim here alone?"

"Aren't you here too," Xiao Yu'er said slightly, pointing his hand at the river surface and said, "I stared at the fish and finally discovered a secret."

"Oh, what's the secret?" Zhou Yu looked over and his body approached Xiaoyu'er unconsciously. A faint fragrance came from Xiaoyu'er's body, which made Zhou Yu's heart jump again.

Xiaoyuer smiled sly, showed her white teeth, and said, "I won't tell you."

"Uh...this..." Zhou Yu was speechless for a moment.

Seeing Zhou Yu feel embarrassed, Xiao Yuer smiled even happier.

Zhou Yu calmed down and said seriously: "Is this what you are urgently asking me to tell me?"

"Of course not," Xiao Yuer raised her mouth and said, "Don't you think meeting you and me is an important matter?"

"Click!Click!Click!" Zhou Yu's mind quickly flashed through his mind important scenes of meetings of many national leaders, such as the G8 meeting, the AAPEC summit...

Zhou Yu had a headache. He was unable to figure out how important it was to meet Xiao Yuer.

Xiao Yuer explained: "Some things are big things for you, but others will think they are small things. Similarly, some things are small things for you, but in others, they are big things and important things."

"You don't think we haven't met for several months. Now we're looking at fish together and chatting is a very unimportant thing, right?" Xiao Yuer bit her lip and whispered.

"Where...where," Zhou Yu hurriedly defended: "Actually, I think this is a...a big and important thing..."

"There is another more important thing!" The little fish almost jumped up.

"Ah, what's that?" Zhou Yu felt that his mind was already beginning to be confused.
