Chapter 193: Yuan Shu's Last Words
Sun Ce had just fooled Zhang Zhongjing, and was complacent, when he suddenly saw Yuan Quan's expression, his heart tightened. Yuan Shu is afraid that it will be finished. This Zhongjing is unreliable, I just said...... Oh, he doesn't seem to have a guarantee, it's just a dead horse as a live horse doctor. Sun Ce secretly complained to himself, moved out of bed, and rushed to Yuan Shu's sickbed.
Yuan Shu opened his eyes, and an ominous flush appeared on his face. He grabbed Sun Ce's hand, and his strength was amazing, choking Sun Ce's heart and lungs, and he almost screamed. Yuan Shu dragged him hard, raised his other hand with difficulty, and leaned into the back of his head tremblingly. Yuan Quan hurriedly took out a bloody leather bag from under the pillow and stuffed it into Yuan Shu's hand.
Yuan Shu held the leather bag in front of Sun Ce, and looked at Sun Ce with straight eyes. Sun Ce's heart tightened. He knows this leather bag, and there are two official seals in it, one is the seal of the rear general, and the other is the seal of Jingzhou Thorn History. He appointed himself as the pastor of Jingzhou, but the seal of Jingzhou Mu has not yet been engraved, and the seal of the Jingzhou Thorn Historian obtained from Liu Biao is still in use. On the battlefield, Yuan Shu wanted to give him this leather bag, but he refused at that time.
"Will ...... Checkmate? Sun Ce's voice was hoarse, and his throat was a little dry.
Yuan Shu held the leather sac in his hand, then interlocked his thumb and index finger, and the remaining three fingers were erected. Sun Ce is inexplicable, what do you mean? OK? It stands to reason that he shouldn't understand this hand throw. Oh, by the way, he may have three conditions, or three sentences to confess.
"General, what do you want to say?"
Yuan Shu's face became redder and redder, his throat made a snoring sound, his teeth chattered, but he couldn't say a word. At this time, Yang Hong and Yan Xiang rushed over, and Zhou Yu was also with them, and it seemed that the three of them were talking in the front hall just now. Yan Xiang and Yang Hong squeezed over, and even Sun Ce was almost squeezed down, he wanted to get aside, but his arm was grabbed by Yuan Shu, and he couldn't get out.
Yan Xiang's eyes were sharp, and he immediately noticed that Yuan Shu was holding Sun Ce's hand, and hurriedly pulled Yang Hong's sleeve. When Yang Hong saw it, his face changed, and he hurriedly turned to the other side. "Ah Heng, what's going on?"
Yuan Quan pinched his handkerchief, wiped the tears from his face, and forced his composure. "Zhang Zhongjing said that ginseng soup can hang his life, I wanted to feed my father a little ginseng soup to help him replenish his vitality, but my father just refused to open his mouth, just asked me to invite you to come."
Yang Hong's scalp exploded, and he hurriedly approached Yuan Shu. "Lord, lord......"
Yuan Shu pushed Yang Hong away with a "snap", shook three fingers, looked directly at Sun Ce, and gritted his teeth. Sun Ce looked confused. If you have anything to say, what kind of dumb riddle is you playing at this time? Look at you just now, your strength is so great that it almost swells Yang Hong's face.
"General......
Yan Xiang looked at Yang Hong, Yang Hong was about to speak, but Yan Xiang shook his head quietly. Yang Hong had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.
"General Sun, did General Yuan tell you something?" Zhou Yu suddenly pressed Sun Ce's shoulder from behind and said, "Think about it carefully. ”
Sun Ce woke up suddenly. Yuan Shu is about to die, and handing over the seal ribbon to him means entrusting him with the future. Raising three fingers, should it refer to three requests, or three wishes or something? Did he say it? While pondering, Sun Ce asked tentatively, "General, do you have three things to explain?" ”
Yuan Shu nodded vigorously, his face turned even redder, and he felt that blood would spurt in the next moment. His eyes widened, with hope, pleading, and anxiety in his eyes.
Sun Ce had a flash of inspiration. "Kill Yuan Shao?"
Before Sun Ce's words fell, Yan Xiang and Yang Hong's faces changed, and they looked at Yuan Shu in unison. Yuan Shu nodded even more, his hair fell out, sweat poured out layer by layer, soaked in messy hair, stained on his face, but his eyes showed incomparable joy.
"And ......" Sun Ce quickly thought for a moment, and then said: "Kill Cao Cao and avenge Ling Lang?" ”
Yuan Shu's eyes were filled with joy, and he nodded again.
Guessed two in succession, Sun Ce already knew what the third answer was. These words, Yuan Shu had already explained to him on the battlefield, and now it was just a final decision. It's just that this one is a bit difficult, Yuan Heng is only nine years old, two years younger than Huang Yueying, how long do I have to wait. No, I can't promise him.
"Don't worry, general, I will take care of your daughters for the rest of my life and not let them be bullied by anyone."
Yuan Shu didn't move, his eyes were staring at Sun Ce, and his eyeballs were about to fall out. Sun Ce couldn't cry or laugh, these two goods, they are so serious when they are dying, I can't pass the test if I want to be fooled. Well, for the sake of your dying remember to arrange for your daughter, I reluctantly accept it, otherwise this thing may die blindly.
"Don't worry, general, I promise you, after asking my father, I will marry Ah Heng as my wife."
Yan Xiang was stunned. Where does this start? Yang Hong glanced at him, showing a little smugness. He knew about it, but Yan Xiang didn't know it yet.
Yuan Shu let out a long breath and put the leather bag in Sun Ce's hand, the flushing on his face quickly dissipated, the look in his eyes quickly dimmed, and his pale eyelids trembled twice, and slowly closed together. The corners of his mouth slowly raised, as if he was smiling, as if he was pleased, and as if he was sarcastic.
"Lord-" Yang Hong knelt on the edge of the couch and cried bitterly.
Yan Xiang lowered his head, tears streaming out of his eyes, and his beard was dripping.
Yuan Quan bit his lip and remained motionless. Yuan Heng rushed in from outside, and when he saw this scene, he cried out with a "wow", and threw himself on the couch, about to pull Yuan Shu. Yuan Quan dragged her and hugged her in his arms. Yuan Heng hugged her waist and cried loudly. Yuan Quan couldn't help but sobbed in a low voice, and the tears flowed non-stop as if they had broken the embankment.
Sun Ce held the leather bag, looked at Yuan Shu who was motionless on the couch, looked at the Yuan sisters who were crying with their heads, and then looked at Yang Hong and Yan Xiang, his mind was in chaos. The leather sac was still a little warm, it was Yuan Shu's body temperature, but Yuan Shu had already swallowed his last breath.
And that's the end of it? Sun Ce was at a loss.
"General, cry." Zhou Yu's voice came from behind him, very soft, like a gnat. Sun Ce knew that Zhou Yu was behind him, and Zhou Yu didn't leave behind him when he entered the door. He could even hear footsteps outside, and if he guessed correctly, Dian Wei should have led someone to seal off the entire courtyard.
Sun Ce wanted to cry along, but he couldn't. He had an indescribable sense of weirdness. Is Yuan Shu's death like this considered a good death? Compared with his disgrace and betrayal in history, is his ending better or worse now?
Seeing that Sun Ce didn't react for a long time, Zhou Yu was helpless, walked to Yan Xiang's side, and arched his hand. "Mr. Yan, General Yuan died of serious injuries and died young, which is indeed sad, but this is not the time to be sad, the situation is difficult, the dragons have no leader, Mr. and Yang Jun are General Yuan's henchmen, they should come forward at this moment and preside over the overall situation."
Yan Xiang was startled, glanced up at Zhou Yu, and said sharply: "Gong Jin, didn't you hear, General Yuan entrusted the future to General Sun, and Yang Jun and I naturally only looked forward to General Sun." ”
Yan Xiang's voice was very loud, and all the people in the room subconsciously suppressed their crying, and Yang Hong was even more stunned. At this time, Yuan Quan stood up, hugged Yuan Heng, who was crying like a tearful person, and gave Sun Ce a salute.
"Please, General."
Yang Hong came back to his senses at this time, his face changed a few times, and he looked at Yan Xiang again. Yan Xiang nodded, Yang Hong stood up, glanced at Sun Ce, flicked his sleeves, and walked away.
Yan Xiang was just about to speak, when a scream came from outside. "What, my father-in-law is dead, can't I even go in and take a look?"
