Chapter 125: Gathering (3)
In the camp outside the city of Gwangjong.
There were several doctors busy in the open space outside the tent, decocting medicine or rummaging bamboo slips and discussing something.
The soldiers with swords patrolled and communicated, back and forth, and kept going in and out of the camp, but the outside of the tent, which should have been a lot of generals and military divisions, was a little cold, only a few people were standing or sitting, and many soldiers would look at the carriage there when they passed by, and their eyes were mostly respectful and sad.
The young man in armor squatted in a tent full of bows and arrows, blowing hot porridge, drinking without a sip, pulling the curtain and watching from a distance, the robe of the same tent called him a few times, he shook his head and claimed that he was ill and did not want to go out, playing with the privileges that Kitanakaro would give him, and his eyes looked curiously and solemnly at the young man sitting on the mat in mourning clothes in the distance.
The cough continued in the open space outside the tent, and occasionally Zhang Fei's painful hissing voice sounded, Gan Shi was a little embarrassed to tear off the needle and thread to comfort and appease, and then according to the instructions of the doctor called by Lu Zhi, he wiped off the blood stains with a hot towel, applied herbs to the wound, and tied a wound cloth.
After some tossing, Zhang Fei's forehead was covered with cold sweat, he got up and put on his clothes stiffly, put on mourning clothes, and stood behind Liu Zheng with a snake spear, he had already been treated by Gan Shi after the inflamed wound, and Liu Zheng, who had changed into mourning clothes, sat on the mat weakly, and didn't care whether he was elegant or not, and coughed a little weakly with the hem of his clothes and talked to Lu Zhi who was kneeling on the cushion opposite.
Guan Yu waited on the side with a knife, and noticed that Zhang Fei glanced at Liu Bei's eyes, Danfeng's eyes opened slightly, Zhang Fei shook his head slightly, and Guan Yu also nodded and put his mind at ease.
At this time, the exchange between the two was aimed at Liu Zheng's remarks on the carriage, Zhang Fei didn't hear it clearly before, and Guan Yu later explained that the two of them were naturally reluctant to worship Liu Bei again, but in that exchange, Zhang Fei actually predicted that if Liu Zheng really died, if they didn't die, they might really walk with Liu Bei according to Liu Zheng's will and restore the glory of Liu Zheng's lineage.
After more than a month, seeing that although Liu Zheng was in a daze, he had no worries about his life, the two thought that there was still a possibility of saving, and Zhang Fei's thoughts were also put down.
At this time, Zhang Fei shook his head, also showing his determination, saying that he would not apologize to Liu Bei for the prank that day, and even Liu Bei would not do it, Guan Yu was also relieved, at least Zhang Fei stood on his side, that is, Liu was about to introduce himself to Liu Bei, and there were people who could accompany him to protest with silence.
"From Zhuoxian to Gu'an, and then here, cough cough...... That's how it happened. In fact, Brother Zizhang said this, and the teacher asked me again, no, cough cough, it's not necessary. Now that I'm so down, my broken body, when I say these words, others will feel a little sad when they see it, and it's just pitiful. ”
Liu Zheng covered the cloth covering his mouth and coughed a few times in succession, Liu Bei knelt beside Lu Zhi, he couldn't cry anymore, Lu Zhi also had tears in his eyes, patted Liu Bei's shoulder with some pity, and then wiped his tears and sighed at Liu Zheng: "Poor what? Be feared! Be feared! Even as a teacher, I never expected you to have such great achievements...... Deran, I haven't seen you for a few years, you really impress the teacher! Brother Yuan Qi wants you to win your love, presumably he also wants your name to be known to the world...... To say something unlucky for the teacher, that is, if you really enter the soil one day, you can also let the saint know your lineage, and there are still people who are thinking about the Great Han Guozuo! What Brother Yuan Qi wants to do, this must be the case! ”
He knelt down and kowtowed to the north, and tears welled up in his eyes that wiped away his tears, "Brother Yuan Qi Gaoyi, for the sake of the Han Dynasty, he can do such a thing, but now that he is in the ground, Lu Mou can't even look at you, which really makes Lu feel uneasy!" ”
Liu Bei also kowtowed with Lu Zhi, his forehead was red when he raised his head, and he covered his heart with a face that completely cried, "Uncle, you are not filial, you have not been able to keep filial piety for you, you are really unfilial!" ”
"Brother, how about you...... Ahem, go back. ”
Liu Zheng said with a cough.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei glanced at each other, their muscles twitched, and Lu Zhi also wiped his tears and looked at Liu Zheng's eyes from between his fingers, trying to see something.
After a pause in crying, Liu Bei turned his head to look at Liu Zheng, secretly clenched his fists, and cried: "Deran, my uncle asked you to take revenge, how can I bear to see you like this and not be able to go home to fulfill your filial piety?" For my brother to help the teacher here, you should go back as soon as possible, for your uncle's ......"
"No, brother. You also know my situation, if I, cough cough...... When I go back, I will only increase my sorrow. For the sake of my mother, it was the teacher who conquered Zhang Jiao and returned to the court, and I also wanted to ask my second and third brothers to bring back a message before I died, saying that I had fought in the west. My mother also has a thought. My father and you are like father and son, so you can go back to keep filial piety on my behalf. If I die one day...... Ahem, my second brother and third brother will go back to join you, and with him and the two of you to help you, you can also make contributions to my Liu family and spread the branches. ”
Liu Zheng's words were half-truths and half-falsehoods.
To be honest, he was just impatient with Liu Bei crying bitterly, and he had the heart to test whether Liu Bei would go back.
If Liu Bei goes back to keep filial piety, he will remember this love, and he will be in harmony with Liu Shi's last brother in the future.
It was he who died unexpectedly this time, considering the entanglement between Liu Bei and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, he could be regarded as letting Liu Bei prove his great affection and righteousness, and he Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were entrusted by him on his deathbed, and he would not refuse to see Liu Bei like this.
But if Liu Bei didn't go back, he would have solved the confusion in his heart.
After all, in his previous life, many people had discussed Liu Bei's city, some people said that he pretended, and some people said that it was true to pretend for a lifetime, and he was quite hostile to Liu Bei before, and he subjectively did not want to see Liu Bei, and he never thought about this problem.
And Liu Bei's attitude towards Zhang Fei, because of Zhang Fei's insult, doesn't mean anything.
Only if Liu Bei refuses his proposal and resolutely refuses to go back, can it be proved that Liu Bei is really a person with a sweet mouth and a heart for the city.
As for Liu Bei going back, either he really values love and righteousness, or he really knows how to forbear - about the latter, Liu Zheng doesn't care if he is remembered by Liu Bei, anyway, he is just boring and joking now, even the doctor Lu Zhi brought from the court seems to have nothing to do about his typhoid fever for the time being, and now whether he can persist in Nanyang, and whether there is anyone in Nanyang who can cure it I don't know.
Of course, even if he gets through this difficulty, then Liu Bei can't do anything with him, just a sanctimonious guy like Liu Bei will definitely not do it openly. If he secretly stabbed the knife, with Li Cheng and others, as well as his own martial arts, he would definitely not be afraid of three points.
"The courage of the two brothers Guan Zhang, I have already heard of them as brothers, and I also know that the two of them are sincere, since I am married to you, I will definitely go hand in hand with me......"
Liu Bei glanced at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who had changed color slightly after Liu Zheng's words, his eyes were full of tears, and he couldn't see a trace of resentment, "But my uncle has the world in his heart, how can he live up to it?" I'm going to go back with you. No matter what you do, when the time comes, you will go to your uncle's grave and plead guilty! It's because my brother didn't take care of you! ”
Liu Zheng was amused in his heart when he heard this, raised his hand and said with tears in his eyes: "Brother is kind!" Correct...... Ahem......"
There was a sudden pain and itching in his chest, Liu Zheng coughed violently a few times, followed by a pain in his throat, and he suddenly coughed when he lay on the ground.
"Big brother!"
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei hurriedly went to help, and Gan Shi, who was taking care of the burning medicine, also rushed over.
Lu Zhi hurriedly stepped forward, and Liu Zheng immediately raised his hand to stop him: "Teacher, don't ask for it, cough cough cough...... Don't come here! ”
He coughed for a while before he calmed down, and when he pulled the cloth on his mouth, he saw that the cloth was blood-red, and it immediately changed color.
It's finally here......
In the past few days, Liu Zheng has long expected that the cough will not stop, and it will deteriorate one day, and now this bloodstain obviously represents an injury to the lungs, could it be that this is the consequence of the brother's wall?
He tried in vain to suppress Liu Bei, and even God couldn't look at it?
Liu Zheng wiped his tearful eyes, waved his hand to interrupt Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's inquiry, looked at Liu Bei's posture of leaning forward, and was about to speak, when he heard a loud shout from a male duck: "Yo!" Who in the barracks was coughing? No one was driven out...... Will Lu Zhonglang? You are the pillar of the country and the commander in chief of the army, how can you be so ignorant? Now that Zhang Jiao is stubbornly resisting in front of him, don't you want me to wait for these elite teachers to die under the plague? What are your intentions?! ”
The slender and sharp voice came from a distance, with extreme impatience and hostility, Liu Zheng was stunned, and in a somewhat blurred vision, he vaguely saw a middle-aged man dressed as a eunuch coming out of the camp tent in the distance, wearing a high eunuch hat on a hot day, pointing at Lu Zhi arrogantly as he walked, but no one dared to contradict him.
He seemed to remember something, some thoughts flashed through his mind, and then he looked fixedly, looking at the words "Character: Zuo Feng" in the system, and his eyes were murderous.
"Where did the wild boy come from, still wearing such unlucky things as mourning clothes! You're still glaring at Zuo! Zuo is in the official's house, working under the Zhao Che rider, and he has not been insulted like this! ”
Zuo Feng walked over step by step, walked to the edge of the clearing, waved his hand and shouted: "Come on, get out!" Wearing linen and filial piety, aren't you here to mourn my anti-thief hero? You ruffians, you don't have any eyesight! I have to help you solve problems! ”
Seeing Zuo Fengyi's command, many people from far and near stopped and stopped, some stepped forward with a black face, and then were pulled by others, and some people frowned, and they wanted to go up and whisper, when they saw a young man who had just joined the shooting battalion hurriedly out of the camp tent with a porcelain bowl and came up, "Zuo Huangmen!" That's right! We are all ruffians, and we really haven't paid attention to typhoid fever. Zuo Huangmen, you are a little farther away, this typhoid fever can't be too close. They don't want to die, your body is important, and you can't afford to make a mistake if you do things for the official family. ”
The young man spoke, and when he approached Zuo Feng, he staggered, and the hot porridge fell on Zuo Feng, Zuo Feng was so hot that he was excited, and the male duck was shouting, and the young man was rushing up to help him, and he saw "Click!" in his ear. Immediately after, Zuo Feng fell down with a small arrow stuck in his head.
Zuo Feng's eyes widened and he fell in front of him, the young man's face turned pale, and the thought of schadenfreude just floated, and he sank in an instant.
He turned his head and glanced at it, and saw that Lu Zhi straightened his back, Liu Bei's face was shocked, and many generals and military advisors from far and near maintained stunned expressions on their faces.
The patrolling sergeant stalled, and a cavalryman rode up and turned his head to star, and then the horse crashed straight into the crowd, with a wail.
In the panic, there was silence beside the tent.
He swallowed his saliva, looked sideways, and saw Liu Zheng shaking his sleeves and coughing, "I'm sorry, my hand slipped." ”
