Dong Yan suddenly shivered, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Looking behind him, Huang Shao was riding on the horse sickly, looking weak, as if he would fall off the horse at any time.

Yu Mi led the Danyang soldiers and accompanied him behind.

There doesn't seem to be anything abnormal, only Huang Shao looks very sad, as if he is sick

It had been six days since the burning of Panlong Valley, and theoretically speaking, Dong Li's goal had basically been achieved.

This can be seen from the Taiping Dojos in various places in Yangzhou. There are noticeably fewer believers than before, and they are far from the same situation of running to tell each other as we saw at the beginning. On the one hand, this place is far away from Julu, and the prestige of Zhang Jiao and the others is obviously not as high as that of the northern states such as Wing and You. On the other hand, the killing of Dong Li and others also made the believers feel afraid.

Although believing in ghosts and gods is also an important thing, if you lose your life for this, it is really not worth it.

In addition, Yang and Jing did not suffer as much as the north, so the situation is naturally different.

It stands to reason that the situation has improved, and Dong Li should be happy. But in fact, it was not, and he was a little flustered.

Cause?

I can't tell! I just think that Taiping Dao and Zhang Jiao should not admit defeat so easily.

They had enough capital to continue to hunt him down, but since Guangling, there has been no movement.

Zhang Jiao...... Dong Yan didn't know this person very well.

However, judging from the situation obtained from Huang Shao and Tang Zhou, he is not a person who is so easy to let go. Not to mention that Zhang Jiao's dough was about to be peeled off by a fire, and he suffered such a big loss, if it was Dong Yan himself, I am afraid he would not swallow this breath.

Therefore, Zhang Jiao must have a back move.

But he didn't move, which really made Dong Yan feel uneasy.

And Dong Li's current situation is also a little different. The addition of Yu Mi and the three hundred Danyang soldiers did increase his strength, but correspondingly, it also transferred him from the dark to the light. It seemed to be an exchange, but Taiping Road went to the dark.

In all fairness, Dong Li didn't want these three hundred Danyang soldiers.

After the Guangling Incident, he had thought about returning the Danyang soldiers to Chen Qi, leaving only Yu Mi.

This guy's force is not very strong, that is, he is in the middle of Pei Yuanshao. Fortunately, he is the head of the land and can find out the news. Dong Yan couldn't remember whether this Yu Mi had appeared in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and he didn't bother to think about it anymore.

I have seen too many cattle people along the way, and Dong Li is a little numb.

Even Mr. Kong Ming, whom he admires the most, has already seen it, and he has pinched Mr. Kong Ming's face several times.

satisfied, Dong Li is already very satisfied.

However, Zhuge Jue dissuaded him not to return the Danyang soldiers to Chen Jue.

"Young man, Han Yu has good intentions, and this is also a testimony of your friendship with his Chen family in Xuzhou. If you return the person to him, it will inevitably make Han Yu lose his face, and even think that you look down on him. It's better to take people with you, one more person, always one more strength. Except for Dian Wei by your side, there are only eight trolls left, and it is also the time to employ people. Although the goal is a little bigger, it's better than having no one at hand, don't you say? ”

Come to think of it, what Zhuge said also makes sense.

Dong Li didn't return the person to Chen Qi, and the group continued to set off, bypassing Liyang City, and also passing through the city gate outside Danyang City without entering, and rushed to Jiangxia in the starry night. According to Dong Li's plan, now that he has completed his task, it is a good time to go home. After sending Zhuge Jue's family to Jiangxia, he could go directly to Nanyang and go from Yingchuan to Hedong.

Presumably, Cai Yong and the others should have arrived in Hedong, and maybe they have rushed to Luoyang with their father.

Unexpectedly, when he was about to arrive in Lujiang, something happened. Huang Shao is sick, very sick.

In fact, since leaving Guangling, Huang Shao has been uncomfortable.

At first, I thought it was a minor illness and disaster, but Dong Yan didn't pay too much attention to it. But then the condition became more and more serious, and he couldn't even ride a horse. Zhuge Jue slightly understood the technique of Qi Huang, and after checking it, he said that he was suffering from chills, and the situation was not serious. But in Lujiang, Lang Zhong was found for diagnosis and treatment, and it was confirmed that Huang Shao's illness was actually a very serious typhoid fever at that time.

There are many causes of typhoid fever.

Exposure to heat, cold, pestilence, and even restlessness......

Typhoid fever can be caused by a variety of causes. After Lang Zhong finished the examination, he shook his head lightly and said, "Please forgive me for my shallow medical skills, and I can't see what caused typhoid fever." But I can recommend one, maybe there is a way. ”

Dong Li hurriedly asked, "I would like to hear about it." ”

"Go to Changsha." Lang Zhong said: "There is a famous doctor in Changsha, and this person is from a filial piety and is holding the post of Changsha Taishou. This man is a skilled doctor, and he has a lot of experience in treating typhoid fever, so he may be able to find a way to treat your subordinates. ”

Satrap? Doctor?

Taishou, who has 2,000 stones, is actually a famous doctor?

Dong Yan couldn't help but be stunned, and turned his head to look at Zhuge Jue. Zhuge Jue thought for a while, and suddenly clapped his hands, "Are you talking about Zhang Ji?" ”

"It's Zhang Changsha!"

"En'en, if he can make a move, it's really no problem."

Dong Yan asked strangely: "Mr. Jungong, is this Zhang Changsha very famous?" ”

"Hehe, it's really famous. I have heard of Zhang Ji, the word Zhongjing, his background is good, but he has good medical skills since he was a child, so he is often ridiculed. He didn't care, and devoted himself to studying medicine. Later, the family came forward to ask for a filial piety for him, and he also became a Changsha Taishou. It is very peaceful under his rule, and his medical skills are excellent, and he is very famous in Jingxiang Nine Counties...... It's just that there is a distance from here to Changsha, can Mr. Huang support it? ”

Huang Shao opened his eyes in a daze, and said weakly: "Lord, you don't have to worry about me. Shao can recuperate here, and when it gets better, he will naturally go to the east of the river to meet the main gong. Don't waste time, it's not safe to talk about here. ”

Dong Li glared, "What is Huang Shao's words?" As I said, I would never give up any of my subordinates. If you follow me, I will naturally have a responsibility to protect your life...... Have a good rest, and I'll take you to Changsha to find Zhang Ji after dawn. ”

After letting Tang Zhou stay and take care of Huang Shao and sending Lang Zhong away, Dong Li pondered in the guest room.

Dian Wei sat silently on the side, took out a rag, and wiped his pair of halberds. Over the past few days, the halberd had drunk countless blood, and the blade of the crescent halberd was faintly glowing red, exuding a faint bloody aura.

Zhuge walked in and sat down opposite Dong Li.

"Boy, do you really want to take Mr. Huang to Changsha?"

Dong Li nodded, and said: "Huang Shao was born poor, although he was talented, he was unwilling, and even committed himself to a thief. This kind of person may not be anything in the eyes of Mr. Jungong, but to him, seeing him is like seeing himself. Although I was born in a good family in six counties, am I not looked down upon? Hehe, don't blame me for being direct. ”

Zhuge Jue was not angry, but showed a thoughtful expression.

Dong Yan continued: "I am fortunate to be favored by Mr. Bojiao; Shao is unfortunate, but he can find his way back and take refuge in me. All the way down from Yucheng, he was loyal to me and gave me advice more wholeheartedly. If I forsake him, will I not chill those who follow me? Brother Dian, you say, will you be cold? ”

Dian Wei raised his head, and a simple smile appeared on his ugly face, "Yes!" ”

"You see, even an honest person like Brother Dian ...... Mr. Jungong, I have no ambitions, I just want to protect my Dong family for a lifetime. Although the ambition is small, it is not easy. I need everyone who follows me to work hard with me. You may not be able to understand this feeling, Mr. Jungong, but this is what I really think. That day, Chen Yuanlong said that I would soar, but it didn't matter. The eldest husband should make meritorious contributions, but if he can't even protect his family, what else can he talk about making meritorious contributions and soaring? To put it bluntly, standing alone on the top of a mountain is actually very lonely. ”

Zhuge Jue looked at Dong Li in surprise and was speechless for a long time.

If these words are heard by others, they will definitely laugh at Dong Li's lack of ambition. But Zhuge Jue and Dong Li have also been together for a while, and their decisiveness still left a deep impression on Zhuge Jue. More importantly, Dong Li's last sentence deeply touched Zhuge Jue's heart. It is not like the words spoken by Dong Li at his age, but more like the words that can only be said by an old man who has experienced many vicissitudes and countless things.

Zhuge Jue said softly: "Young man, what kind of person are you?" ”

Dong Yan wiped Xue Liang with a throwing gun, inserted it into his backpack and said with a smile: "It's just an ordinary ugly ghost." ”

"Hahaha...... That's right, an ordinary ugly ghost! ”

Zhuge Jue's expression was straight, "Since you have already made a decision, then Jue will no longer persuade you." It's night, so get off early. ”

He got up to go out of the room, but Dong Li suddenly spoke, "Mr. Jungong, I will ask Yu Mi to escort you back." In addition, Tang Zhou will also accompany him...... When you arrive at your destination, you can ask them to go directly to Hedong and wait. ”

Zhuge Jue turned around and arched his hand and said: "The young man is high-minded, and he doesn't thank you." ”

Zhuge Jue went out, and Dong Li called Yu Mi and Tang Zhou again and gave an explanation.

Let Dian Wei bring his bag, take out a seal letter from it, and hand it to Yu Mi.

"Yu Mi, after you and Tang Zhou send Mr. Zhuge to the destination, you can go directly to Hedong with this seal letter. I have here a letter that you will pass on to my father. If my father is not there, it can be handed over to Li Ru or my mother. I recommend you to be a cavalry lieutenant and serve in the Hedong Army. If you are not satisfied with anything, you can let me know. ”

From a white ding, he suddenly became a riding captain......

For Mi, it is no less sudden than a pheasant turning into a phoenix. I couldn't speak for a while, holding the letter in my hand, trembling vigorously.

"Tang Zhou, you have a lively mind, but you don't read too much. In terms of academic attainment, you are worse than Huang Shao, but in terms of heart and eye, you are more than Huang Shao. I don't distinguish between you and you, and I've been watching you all the way. I'm going to use you a lot, but you're not enough for me right now...... When you return to Hedong, I will arrange for you to study under my brother-in-law for a while. Hehe, you have learned his methods, and when you have learned them, I still have a heavy task to entrust to you. ”

The last time I saw Li Ru, I was a captive.

And this time...... Tang Zhou said with tears in his eyes: "My lord, Zhou will definitely devote himself to studying, and he will never live up to the high expectations of his lord." ”

"Okay, let's go and prepare, I won't say goodbye to you tomorrow."

Yu Mi and Tang Zhou retreated, and Dong Yan suddenly laughed.

Dian Wei asked, "Lord, what are you laughing at?" ”

"Nothing...... I'm just thinking, what will happen to Xiaoliang in the future? I wish he had come of age sooner, I can't wait. ”

Dian Wei didn't quite understand, what's so funny about this?

It's just a little slug, is it really worth the lord's attention? However, if the lord thinks it's funny, it must be funny.

Dian Wei couldn't help but laugh too.

******

The next day, Zhuge Jue got up early in the morning, but he didn't meet Dong Li.

asked Zhou Cang, no, it should be called Zhuge Cang, and he said with a gloomy expression: "The young man took people away early in the morning." ”

Yes, not only did they go, but they also took away the more than forty war horses!

Yu Mi had already gathered the people and waited solemnly outside the inn. Tang Zhou stood behind him, like a shadow, silently.

Zhuge Jue said softly: "Zhou Cang, do you regret it?" ”

Zhuge Cang raised his head and said, "Master, what are these words?" Zhou Cang is dead, and it is Zhuge Cang who is alive now. The warehouse is obedient to the master, and what regrets are there? I just think that although the boy is ugly, his heart is good. ”

"Yes, in this world, you can't judge people by their appearance. The boy taught me a lesson! ”

After sighing, Zhuge Jue ordered to set off. He held his youngest son Zhuge Liang in one hand and his eldest son Zhuge Jin in the other, and boarded the vehicle.

Zhuge Jin asked, "Father, what about Uncle Ugly?" ”

"My son has gone to run errands."

"Can we say goodbye to him?"

"Absolutely...... But you have to study hard, otherwise you won't be able to learn in the future, so how can you be embarrassed to meet your son? ”

"Children will study hard."

Zhuge Jin clenched his fists hard and assured loudly. Along the way, his understanding of Dong Yan changed from being afraid at the beginning to finding it interesting later. Especially listening to the troll talk about the past events of Dong Li's crisscrossing the northwest, Zhuge Jin changed from interesting to admiration. This ugly uncle, though only a little older than him, had already established a great reputation.

The eldest husband is like this, Zhuge Jin secretly decided.

The chariot drove out of the Lujiang River and headed for Jiangxia. On the same day, a group of people came to Jiangxia Ferry, a dozen in total, led by a young man with a mighty appearance.

The companion asked, "Xiaoqushuai, where are we going?" ”

After the young man pondered for a moment, he waved his hand and said, "If it were me, I would definitely evacuate quickly after the Guangling incident was over." If Yan had not guessed wrong, those people would definitely take the line from Lujiang to Jiangxia and go from Jingzhou to Nanyang. In Nanyang, I have asked Uncle Zhang to pay attention to it on his behalf, and if we go to Lujiang, maybe we can meet those people. ”
