It was already two o'clock, and the whole village was a little empty.

Previously, Chen Zhen came over for a while, and mentioned the matter of arranging accommodation and work, for some villagers, it was naturally a rare opportunity, and after some trade-offs, they followed.

In these years, natural disasters and man-made disasters continue, the people are not in danger, and it is already a very lucky thing to be taken care of by the well-wishers of the rich businessmen and gentry, and at present, the identity of Chen Zhen has something to do with the government, in the eyes of the villagers, it represents the government, compared to Zhang Pinji simply seeing a doctor in this village, occasionally giving food, the villagers measured, naturally they still like to stay in the city, protected by the government.

Some people take the lead, and some people follow, and most of the houses are vacated this time, and there are fewer children running around, and there are many fewer villagers working in the courtyard, and most of the people who stay are sick and do not go out, and the whole street looks a little deserted.

In such a depressed environment, Lu Jie sat in the shadows, listening to Xun You introduce the entire punctuation system, and his emotions about Liu Zheng, the initiator, were even more complicated.

He glanced at Liu Zheng, who was doing something in the house, and turned his head to look at the street.

Outside Liu Zheng's room, Zhang Ji put an oil-paper umbrella in front of Xiaobai to block the sun, and was saying something, Huang Xu also came over, squatting aside to listen, Zhang Ji's face was not worried, he spoke calmly, and he could take care of the two children, Huang Xu's gradually restless face slowly calmed down.

In the distance, Huang Zhong and Zhang Chu were talking, and Lu Jie also heard a few words, that Huang Zhong preferred to move to the city, but now Zhang Chu and Zhang Ji couldn't leave for the seriously injured Xun Biao, Huang Zhong also stayed here for Huang Xu's consideration, but he also put forward the idea of letting Zhang's family come over to guard.

It stands to reason that Huang Zhong can't be an outsider, but it makes sense, after all, the three of Xun Biao are involved in the matter of rice thieves, and Liu Zheng, Lu Jie and others are also quite noble, and now they live outside the city, and it is not safe.

Although the Yu Gongsun Yue and others are guarded by people, as soon as the villagers evacuate, they can take out more manpower to take care of them, but the number of rice thieves is unknown, this time a rice thief is handed over to the government, obviously there will be a deeper grudge, the other party's indiscriminate killing of innocent posture has shown that there is no morality, the moth thief will occasionally take care of the identity of the scholar and the doctor to let them go, but when the rice thief comes, it is completely a posture of killing everything, maybe the whole village will suffer.

Zhang Chu was also afraid that there would be a mistake here, so he greeted Zhang Ji, and rode to Zhang's house with Huang Zhong.

On the other side, Gongsun Yue readjusted the personnel arrangements according to the villagers' residences, strengthened training and protection, and pouted when he looked at the back of Huang Zhong riding a horse.

Gongsun Yue and Huang Zhong are not right is something that can be noticed a long time ago, Huang Zhong has martial arts, but the pattern is narrow, there is no popular idea among scholars today to give up a small family for the sake of the common people in the world, Lu Jie also understands that the other party is a person in the rivers and lakes, and he values his family more, and the two sides have different opinions, and it is understandable - put yourself in your shoes, if he is for his family, he will be like Huang Zhong.

It's just that......

Not only Huang Zhong and Gongsun Yue, but now Liu Zheng seems to have a conflict with him......

"The gap between people in the village is getting deeper and deeper, if you can't twist it into a rope, I'm afraid that when the rice thieves and bandits come, we won't be able to help each other in the same boat. I heard that Huang Hansheng is a great martial artist, so with such help, he has to deal with it properly. ”

Xun You talked for a long time, and seeing that Lu Jie did not respond, he put away the bamboo slip and smiled.

Lu Jie glanced at Liu Zheng's house again, and said with a wry smile: "What Brother Gongda said is extremely true. Available under ...... I have a weak heart. ”

"Well, I can see that although Your Excellency is an elder brother, he does not have much prestige among those people. Now the more than 20 people are only Liu Gongzi. Even with your honor's protection and brotherly love, Liu Gongzi is stubborn, and he is really a little willful. ”

"It's young and vigorous."

"After all, there is nothing wrong with having such a madman's style."

Xun You looked down at "Mulan Ci", Lu Jie was stunned, and said with a wry smile: "Your Excellency, can't you see that my family Deran has the idea of apostate?" ”

"I see."

Xun You turned his head, glanced at Lu Jie, and said with a smile: "But so what? ”

"This ......"

Lu Jie shook his head and sighed: "If he enters the officialdom one day, there will always be a ......"

"Is Your Excellency thinking about Liu Gongzi, or is it for the safety of the Lu family?"

These words were a bit rude, Lu Jie's face changed, Xun You put away the bamboo slips, and smiled calmly: "To be honest, you don't know how." Liu Gongzi has a handsome face, barely enough to be respected by people like us. But the first time you saw Liu Gongzi, he felt a little guilty in his heart, and he always felt that he couldn't deal with this person. ”

Lu Jie's expression was puzzled, Xun You turned his wrist and raised the bamboo slip, "Your Excellency also said that Liu Gongzi has admiration for my daughter, Aunt Xun, and even General Lu Zhonglang is quite in favor of this matter...... These two poems are also explained below. The affection between the words, although the poem is quite good, the meaning beyond the words is quite rude. If there is no prejudice, it is impossible. ”

He laughed, "But the situation is stronger than people." Now, although Liu Gongzi is suffering from typhoid fever and needs to be taken care of, in fact, we have to be protected by him. ”

"I also understand your plight. But I ......."

"Forgive me for my repeated offenses, and please listen to me."

Xun You said with a smile: "Your Excellency acts as the clan politician and considers the gains and losses of the clan. Liu Gongzi is Lu Zhonglang's beloved apprentice, and his words and deeds are closely related to Lu Zhonglang's generals, and now what he says wrong, he naturally has to correct it, so as not to implicate him a lot, and it will be difficult for him to die well. Your Excellency is cautious, public and private, and you can understand it. ”

He paused, "But it's still the same sentence below." So what? ”

Lu Jie frowned, and Xun You smiled: "The bystander is clear." The eldest son, in the final analysis, Liu Gongzi just wants to save people and change the views of the world. Apostasy...... In addition to Confucianism, which one is not apostasy? Moths and thieves are everywhere, and there is a dispute between the party and the government, these are not apostasies? ”

"Your Excellency speaks carefully."

"Have you violated the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, the father and the son?"

Xun You's eyes narrowed slightly, shook his head and smiled: "Now it is a king or not, a minister is not a minister, a father is not a father, and a son is not a son...... Is there still a ritual? Closer to say, we need to resist rice thieves and bandits, we should work together, and far away, we need to calm the troubled times and build a peaceful and prosperous world. Master Lu, the Han Dynasty is in decline, what is this pattern, now there are countless Hakka soldiers, if you can't see it? It is the time when the clan grows and develops, and capable people take over...... I thought that Liu Gongzi had this talent and bravery, and someone would inevitably take refuge. After all, he can be regarded as a way to save the world, and at this time, it may not work in your opinion, and the future is not necessarily impossible. What's more, isn't this Brother Zhongjing's approval. Why can't we agree? Maintaining stability is the most important thing. ”

He smiled, "Just like the art of war, it seems that it is not elegant, but the peasants and workers will definitely use it." The people's livelihood needs to develop, and now it is not feasible to plan, and there is no way out...... That water jade, if you don't know it, how can anyone think of using it? If someone agrees, it means that this path can be continued...... The most important thing now is to choose one person to assist and calm down the Han Dynasty, and all other selfish things can be put down. ”

Lu Jie came to his senses, "Your Excellency thinks that Deran should be allowed to take this road, but the road ahead is ...... You said. ”

Xun You turned his head, Lu Jie hurriedly stretched out his hand, but Xun You arched his hand, and laughed a little embarrassedly, "Your Excellency said that you can't jump out of the pattern of the head of a family." You planned the clan politics before, and you took it for granted. The height of the station is nothing more than the perspective of Liu Gongzi's elders, who think it is good for him...... But no one is perfect, since Liu Gongzi has a heart, why should Your Excellency take it to heart? ”

He glanced at Zhang Ji, "Brother Zhongjing said earlier that Lu Zhonglang will go to the court for Liu Gongzi to plead guilty." The matter of shooting the Yellow Gate was quite rude in the eyes of the eldest prince. But if the yellow door is not removed, how will Lu Zhonglang be safe? There are benefits to short-sightedness...... Besides, Liu Gongzi has this talent and bravery, if he can't see what the future will be, it is impossible. His impulsiveness may have some intentions, but we may not be able to see it. I'm going to have to wait to see the results, rather than thinking about it from my own perspective. When Liu Gongzi shows his strength, if there is really something wrong, he will watch it on the side...... The natural way should be gentle, if you come hard with him, what is the point of getting such a cold eye as Fang Cai? ”

Xun Qi's shout sounded in the distance, Xun You stood up, and raised his hand in the void to make a gesture, "Some people are generals, some are advisers, and some are first-class soldiers...... Nature is not flattery, but advice in a decent way. Just now, that Chen Gongzi insulted Brother Yun and Xiaobai, and he would be angry if he was an ordinary person. Master Lu, this kind of thing has to be unanimous with the outside world, and after the matter is over, he will persuade him in the vicinity. After all, he is the handsome ...... Well, here it is. ”

Seeing Xun You turn around and leave, Lu Jie seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly shouted: "Brother Gongda's remarks, but I want to ......"

He glanced at the door where Liu Zheng was, Xun You smiled, and said softly: "At least for the moment, under the fence." What the future looks like depends on how my aunt and Liu Gongzi are. He has something to do, but if my grandfather Ciming recognizes Liu Gongzi's talent, he has nothing to say. At this time, my life is at stake, with Liu Gongzi here, my Uncle Brown can at least recuperate here. ”

He bent down and bowed, "Please also ask Master Lu to jump out of prejudice, now there is a danger lurking, and there are no eggs under the nest." After all, you have some friendship with Liu Gongzi's gang, and it is actually more appropriate to have you integrate and stabilize people's hearts. I discussed with Boqi, if possible, from today onwards, I will help each other with Gongsun Gongzi, and strive to deter Xiaoxiao, so that the rice thief will not dare to commit. ”

Watching Xun You walk away with the bamboo slips, Lu Jie was stunned, looked at the opposite side, and saw Zhang Ji standing up and facing the outside of the village, he looked at the two people who rode over from outside the village, thought about it, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, walked to the door of Liu Zheng, and arched his hand: "Deran, it's not appropriate to think about my brother." ”
