In a remote mountain in the west of Chang'an City, a group of people and horses are waiting quietly. Although the guards waiting by the carriage were wearing ordinary kudzu cloths, they faintly revealed some fierce aura.

The carriage was not the canopy of the scholars, but an ordinary carriage. There are no patterns on the body, there is nothing special, no matter from which angle you look at it, it is an ordinary car to the extreme.

Probably the only thing that caught the attention of others was the seemingly heavy curtain of the carriage, and even the wind didn't seem to blow much......

A violent cough erupted from behind the curtain.

"Hey, senior brother, you are sick, you have to be cured!" Jia Xu lazily leaned against the wall of the carriage on the side and said, "...... Alas, I said earlier that you should pay more attention to your body...... But it's too late to say that now......"

Although it was daytime, the light in the carriage was not good, but I could see things to some extent.

Li Ru held a brocade quilt, wrapped his whole body, revealing only a thin and almost human-shaped head, his hair was gray and scattered, and there was no bundle, leaving it to be scattered. Listening to Jia Xu's words, Li Ru raised his eyebrows, and did not reply, but stretched out a wizened hand from the brocade quilt, took the brocade on the side, and wiped the little mouth that squirted out because of the violent cough.

“…… Senior brother, you are yin and yang......" Jia Xu muttered, "...... Seeing how thin you are now, if I speak louder, I guess I can blow you away......"

“…… You can blow a try......" Li Ru said without being salty, but his voice was low and hoarse, and it seemed that most of the coughs caused vocal cord damage.

"Uh, this ......" Jia Xu quickly changed the subject, "...... I also helped with Dong Zhongying's matter, but he was still killing himself, and I couldn't ......help it."

Li Ru was silent for a while, and said, "That ballad and Taoist were all arranged by you?" How do you know there's something wrong with Lu Bu's shaft? ”

Jia Xu smiled, shook his head and said: "A certain person knows astronomy, knows geography, knows five hundred years before, and knows five hundred years later...... Ah, okay, no kidding, although I thought that Lu Bu might have a problem, I wasn't sure ......"

Li Ru raised his eyebrows, thought for a moment, and said, "Then you wrote two mouths, that is, it was purely a temptation?" ”

"Not exactly...... In addition to Shuangkou Lu, it can also be said that if you enter the palace, you will not have a crown......" Jia Xu shook his head, sighed, and said, "It's just that Dong Zhongying seems to be stupid...... I can't understand such an obvious expression......"

Li Ru coughed again.

Jia Xu opened some door curtains, stuck his head out, and shouted to the guards outside the carriage, "Where's the water?!" It takes so long to boil water?! ”

“…… It's okay, you can't die......" Li Ru patted his chest, and then said in a low voice, "...... Sangkook is indeed stupid, or is he ...... I've been hiding this from me, and I've found some medicine for Xiangguo to eat, but it's always been good and bad......"

Jia Xu retracted his head and said, "...... Brother's Meaning...... Someone poisoned? ”

Li Ru frowned and said, "As early as the time of Luoyang, Xiangguo had some signs. Later, Xiangguo was located in Hewu most of the time, and the prices in Chang'an were boiling at that time, and the affairs were troublesome, so I didn't care about it for a while...... I thought that Xiangguo was located in Hewu, and he was under heavy protection, so he should be fine, but he never thought of it......"

Jia Xu was suddenly a little annoyed, and narrowed his eyes into a line, faintly revealing a little cold: "...... So, senior brother, your body ...... It could also be ......"

Li Ru was stunned for a moment and said, "But my symptoms are different from Xiangguo......

Jia Xu waved his hand: "Senior brother, you don't have to worry about this matter, I'll investigate it, anyway...... Hum...... Hey hey ......"

Li Ru was silent for a while, sighed, leaned back on the carriage with a little tiredness, and said slowly: "Okay, I'll leave it to you...... Anyway, I don't want to care about it now...... Don't get yourself too deep, though......"

Jia Xu smiled hesitantly and said, "Don't worry, senior brother, you don't know that I'm the most afraid of death, what is the matter, I promise to hide the farthest......"

"Hmm." This is true, Li Ru smiled slightly, and then closed his eyes a little tiredly.

The illness is like a mountain, and it is not false at all.

Before, there was still this breath for Dong Zhuo's career, Li Ru had been burning himself, but now that Dong Zhuo has fallen, the fatigue and hard work that are impregnated from every bone crevice have completely exploded.

Even if the Xiliang Army is at this point, it is actually not a complete defeat, there is still a way to save it, it is just a little more difficult, but Li Ru is too tired and tired, and he doesn't want to pull this Xiliang chariot like a skinny old cow anymore.

For Dong Zhuo, Li Ru owes him a bit of kindness, and now it can be regarded as over. As for the other Xiliang generals, most of them owe Li Ru's kindness......

Jia Xu looked at Li Ru, his eyes flashed, and he suddenly said, "Senior brother, do you remember what we said on a hill outside the pond before entering Beijing?" ”

Li Ru still closed his eyes and was silent for a long, long time before he said, "...... Forget those words...... After such a scene, some things ...... Alas...... Now I just want to find a successor and pass on the mantle of the Legalist family...... Brother, where did you put all the books? ”

Jia Xu replied: "Part of it is in Yuzhong, part of it is in Xiangwu, and some of it is in Ji County. ”

Li Ru glanced at Jia Xu and didn't say anything.

Jia Xu smiled and said, "Isn't this just right, anyway, senior brother, you can stay in these three places, maybe there are good seedlings." ”

The guard outside the carriage tapped lightly on the carriage and said that the water had been boiled......

Jia Xu hurriedly took it in, hit a bowl and handed it to Li Ru.

Li Ru took the bowl and blew it slightly, maybe others thought it was still relatively hot, but Li Ru didn't seem to feel it, and after drinking it in a big gulp, a little blood appeared on his face.

Jia Xu avoided his gaze, a little unbearable to look at it again.

Li Ru put down the bowl, smiled, and said, "Okay, you and I have to say goodbye eventually, so why don't we send it here...... When you feel like you've had enough, go home...... I'll ask someone to cook beef for you, enough to ......."

Jia Xu laughed and said, "Okay! Deal! After speaking, he looked at Li Ru for a moment, then turned his head and got out of the carriage.

The group slowly headed west, and suddenly a song came out of the carriage:

"Gantang,

"Don't cut down, don't cut down,

"Summoning the uncle.

"Gantang,

"Don't be defeated, don't be defeated,

"The ...... of the Summoning Uncle"

Halfway through the song, he was interrupted by a cough......

Jia Xu sighed, and then sang:

"Gantang,

"Don't bow down, don't worship,

"What the caller said......"

In the midst of the song, the people and horses gradually drifted away and gradually disappeared from view.

Jia Xu has been standing on the side of the road, squinting his eyes, and only after a long time did he say to himself in a very low voice: "I don't care if it's Zhaobo or Jiang Wang's tree, anyway, if it's an eyesore, I'll cut it down...... Brother, can you forget...... I'm not going to forget...... Hehehehe, anyway, senior brother, you inherited the mantle of the Legalist, and I am...... Hey, hey, hey, anyway, if it's about building a family and a country, I'm not as good as you, but ...... Hey, hey, hey, you may not be able to compare to me......"
