More than 20 days ago, when Zhou Yu and Zhou An left Luoyang, the Zhou family had used the ill-gotten wealth in the stone room to purchase a lot of grain and grass from all over the country, recruit many displaced people, and build many wooden houses.

At noon more than 20 days later, when Zhou Yu and Zhou An took Sun Ce to revisit their hometown, Luoyang City was surprisingly silent. Zhou Yu and his entourage, full of doubts, hurriedly rode their horses to the newly built Zhou Mansion, and saw their parents and family members lying in a pool of blood in the middle of the street.

"Father! Mother! ”

Just as Zhou Yu shouted and hurriedly dismounted and ran to his parents, more than a dozen people dressed in black clothes, black scarves, and swords suddenly rushed out on both sides of the street, saying, "Zhou Yu, accept your life." ”

"Gongjin, don't panic, I'll help you."

Sun Ce saw that this group of people was menacing, and it was beyond Zhou Yu's ability to deal with it, so he pulled out the Seven-Star Dragon Yuan Sword on his waist and joined the fight together.

Surprisingly, even with Sun Ce and the Seven-Star Dragon Yuan Sword in his hand, this fight was far from being as easy as he imagined.

The two sides fought for nearly a quarter of an hour, and Sun Ce failed to kill anyone.

From this moment on, Sun Ce gradually smelled a trace of unusual breath.

After another moment of fighting, the balance of victory finally gradually fell in favor of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.

"Withdraw, withdraw."

Just as the men in black fled in a hurry, Sun Ce finally seized the opportunity and picked off the masked black scarf of one of the men in black.

Although it was only for a moment, the man covered his face with his hand, but Sun Ce still recognized this person as Hu Zhen.

Subsequently, Zhou Yu also seized the opportunity and killed a man in black with the worst skills. This is the first time in Zhou Yu's life to fight for his life, and it is also the first time that Zhou Yu has killed people many times. Although Zhou Yu, who was in troubled times, had long been accustomed to killing, but when it was really his turn to do it, Zhou Yu's hands still couldn't stop shaking.

Zhou Yu picked off the hood of the man in black, but his face was extremely unfamiliar to Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu was confused, so he ran to his parents and cried: "Father, mother, who killed you?" ”

"It's Dong Zhuo's generals, and there is a man in black among them, who is the general Hu Zhen." Sun Ce said, "As for the man in black on the ground, I don't recognize it, it should be the general promoted by Dong Zhuoxin." However, fortunately, Lu Bu didn't come, otherwise you and I would probably be in trouble. ”

It turned out that since Lu Bu was defeated in Luoyang, he returned to Chang'an and reported all the causes and consequences of the war to Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo was angry at the betrayal of the Zhou family's father and son, so he ordered Lu Bu to select more than ten generals to form a team and go to Luoyang to assassinate Zhou Yu's family.

Lu Bu received the order and wanted to lead the team in person. Fortunately, Wang Qian learned the news and persuaded Lu Bu in the name of concern. In the end, Lu Bu selected more than ten generals such as Hu Zhen, Fan Chou, Guo Yan, Xu Rong, Li Dao, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Duan Xuan, and Li Meng as killers, and Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu as the commander, uniformly dressed in black clothes and covered with black scarves, and quietly marched to Luoyang.

A few days later, at noon, the group of generals finally arrived in Luoyang. They inquired about the residence of the Zhou family father and son from the displaced people, and then ambushed around the Zhou mansion.

In the evening, when Zhou Yi returned to his house to rest, this group of people suddenly swarmed up and faced Zhou Yi with his sword. In Zhou's mansion, Mrs. Zhou Yi heard the sound of the fight and immediately led her family out of the mansion to help. After a moment of fighting, Zhou Yi and his wife and their family members all died on the streets.

When the group of generals identified the body, they found that Zhou Yu was missing, so they laid an ambush on both sides of the street, waiting for Zhou Yu to throw himself into the net.

The next morning, the displaced people could not wait for Zhou Yi to come to assign the task of rebuilding Luoyang, that is, they went to Zhou's mansion to visit together. When the displaced people saw the corpses of Zhou Yi's family, they were terrified and fled in all directions.

At this point, everything went as smoothly as the black-clothed general's plan - if only Zhou Yu and Zhou An returned to Luoyang, their lives would definitely be lost. However, Sun Ce's return together finally frustrated the black-clothed general's plan.

Looking at the tragic death of the family in front of him and recalling the tragedy that happened to the Sun family not long ago, Zhou Yu suddenly understood the rules of survival in this turbulent year: in turbulent years, freedom is the greatest luxury; If you want to save your life and protect your family, you can only embark on the road of joining the army and become an invincible soldier.

It's a pity that it is a little too late to understand these truths at this moment - no matter how much Zhou Yu regrets and works hard, his parents' lives are irretrievable.

Growing up will always be accompanied by all kinds of pains, and some profound truths can only be truly understood after paying a painful price.

In order to comfort the souls of his parents in the sky, and in order to stop the tragedy from being staged in the world, from this moment on, Zhou Yu decided to give up his freedom and sacrifice the ideal of governing the country with literature and Taoism. He turned to the army and embarked on a long road of peace and security.

At the same time, Sun Ce also decided that he would no longer be as foolish and loyal to the Han court as his father, and he would no longer be bound by the so-called morality of the human world. Trying his best to survive and protect his family is Sun Ce's future life path.

"I plan to go to Nanyang to take care of the army left by my father and take care of the Sun family. I wonder what your plans are for the future? Sun Ce said.

"The foundation of the Zhou family is all in Shu County, Lujiang County, Yangzhou, if I want to rely on it, of course I will return to my hometown." Zhou Yu said.

"What else can I do for you?"

Zhou Yu took out some yellow and white things and said, "Help me recruit some family members, prepare some coffins, and buy some chariots." ”

"Leave it to me."

Sun Ce took the gold and silver, and then rode his horse to a nearby town to run errands.

Two days later, Sun Ce finally returned with hundreds of families. Except for five of the family members, who drove the carts, the rest were all in groups of four, carrying heavy coffins.

When they were young, they carried the corpse into the coffin, and Zhou Yu immediately took out the Sichuan capital and said, "Wait for you to set off immediately, and send the coffin to the suburbs of Shu County to build a mausoleum for burial." After that, you will immediately go to the Zhou Mansion in Shu County to find me. ”

After this group of family members carried the coffin on the road, Zhou Yu immediately pulled Sun Ce and Zhou An and placed the wooden box in the underground stone chamber on the five wagons. In the stone room, Zhou Yu also exchanged clothes with Zhou An, making Zhou An a master and a servant himself.

"Gong Jin, why are you doing this?" Sun Ce said.

"Prevent thieves from going and returning." Zhou Yu said.

"The future is dangerous, so I'll send you back."

"No, I'm just on the safe side."

After this happened, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu each embarked on an unpredictable fate.

However, Zhou Yu and Zhou An only cared about the clothes on their bodies and forgot to change the horses galloping under their crotch. But at a critical time, the easiest to expose Zhou Yu's identity is precisely the sweaty BMW galloping under his crotch.
