Sun Ce waited outside for about half an hour, and finally got impatient, raised his hand and knocked on the door,

With a "squeak", the door opened, Wu Xian walked out and said softly: "Ce'er, your mother is sick, and her forehead is terrifyingly hot." ”

Sun Ce's heart tightened, and he walked in quickly, only to see Wu Shu lying on the bed, her eyes closed, her face flushed, and she hurriedly asked, "Erniang, why don't you invite Langzhong." ”

Wu Xian shook his head and said, "Your mother won't let you, she said it, Langzhong here is different from other places, they are all from the official mansion, and your mother doesn't want the Sun family to owe Lord Liu any more favors." ”

Sun Ce said categorically: "No, you must ask Lang Zhong to take a look." ”

Wu Shu opened her eyes forcefully, and said weakly: "Ce'er, you have done so many things to be sorry for Lord Liu, where does my mother still have this face to make trouble for him again, you all go out, I'll just sleep for a while." ”

Sun Ce reluctantly exited the room,

Just when he was at a loss, the county commander Zheng Shuang walked over with a spring breeze on his face, and said: "Brother Sun, if you don't have any special arrangements, please count them in this county, so that the official can do his local friendship." ”

When Sun Ce saw Zheng Shuang, he seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and hurriedly returned the salute: "Lord Zheng, my mother is unfortunately sick, and Sun and others are afraid that they will have to bother here for a few more days." ”

Zheng Shuang heard that Sun Ce's mother was sick, and said without thinking: "Oh, it turns out that Mrs. Sun is sick, no wonder I haven't seen you downstairs until now, don't worry, Mr. Zatang in this county is a senior disciple of Mr. Zhang in Xiangyang, I will send someone to invite him, and he will definitely get rid of the disease." ”

Sun Ce looked at Zheng Shuang, who left in a hurry, and was secretly happy in his heart, this is what you took the initiative to propose, even if we beg you, even if my mother knows, it is not easy to say anything about me.

Lang Zhong of Exian County surnamed Deng, is indeed from Xiangyang Medical College, although the medical skills are not as good as Zhang Qing, but also Zhang Ji Zheng'er Bajing's disciple, ordinary illnesses are really difficult for him, this Deng Langzhong gave Wu Shu a pulse, and looked at the complexion on her face, and then had a plan in his heart, and said: "Mrs. Sun is tired of carriage and horses, and suffers from some wind and cold, I will prescribe a prescription, take medicine on time, and you can be cured in three or five days, but Mrs. needs to relax her mood and not be irritable and angry, otherwise it is easy to fall into the root of the disease." ”

With Deng Langzhong's words, Wu Shu's condition should not have any major problems, but in this way, Sun Ce and they can't leave for the time being, so they have to stay in Exian, Zheng Shuang doesn't care, anyway, Liu Xin has explained, Sun Ce and others are all borne by the government, he just needs to obey orders,

In the past few days, Sun Ce didn't dare to leave the post house an inch, and took care of his mother wholeheartedly, and after four days, Wu Shu's body gradually improved.

In the past few days, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Zhu Zhi often go to the market to take a look, and the more they look at it, the more frightened they are, when they were in Xiangyang in the past, they often went to the streets, and they were shocked by the prosperity of Xiangyang, but in their opinion, it was Liu Xin's base camp, and Liu Xin must have concentrated the manpower and material resources of Jingzhou to reveal such a prosperous situation.

However, in just a few days, Cheng Pu and they found that although Exian County is only a small county under the jurisdiction of Jiangxia County, its prosperity and wealth are not inferior to Lujiang City, which they have been operating for many years.

What surprised Cheng Pu the most was that there was a long queue at the gate of the county government today, and only after inquiring did he know that it was Liu Xin's army recruiting soldiers, Cheng Pu and others had a particularly profound experience in this regard, when they were in Lujiang, not to mention recruiting soldiers, it was difficult to forcibly recruit soldiers, and the people in these Exian counties in front of them were not only willing to serve as soldiers, but also very enthusiastic, and what made them feel incredible was that the entire Exian County only recruited 80 people, but the people who queued up to sign up were no less than 3,000 people.

Zhu Zhi shook his head and sighed: "General Cheng, General Huang, or Mrs. is right, we don't have the strength to fight with Liu Xin at all, you look at the people here, they not only support Liu Xin, they simply worship, Liu Xin must be a god-like existence in their minds, it seems that we can only have a way out if we vote under his door." ”

Huang Gai's face sank and said, "Junli, do you want to betray the lord." ”

Zhu Zhi faced Huang Gai's reproach, and said indignantly: "Gongfu, do you see me like this, the lord is no longer there, and the master mother and the young master are still there, what we have to do is to protect their safety, it is best to assist the young master to create some achievements, everyone wake up, it is unrealistic to talk about what to fight for the world now." ”

Cheng Pu hesitated: "It's just that if we go to Liu Xin now, will he believe us, if he doesn't do it, he will bring humiliation on himself, not to mention that in Xiangyang for more than four months, Liu Xin has never revealed his intention to solicit us." ”

Zhu Zhizheng said: "Two generals, you look at these recruited people, and then think about it carefully, it is much more difficult to capture a county in Jingzhou than to recapture Lujiang, and if you defect to Yuan Shu, you will have a chance to revive the foundation of the Sun family, Yuan Shu's personality is far inferior to Liu Xin, I am afraid that it will not be long before he himself will be cleaned up by Liu Xin, and now in addition to returning to Xiangyang, do we have any other way to go, we may not have any future, but the young master is young and heroic, and there will always be a chance to get ahead." ”

Huang Gai snorted coldly and said: "Anyway, I won't go back and beg Liu Xin, Yigong just died at his hands, and I can't accept it if I listen to orders under his account." ”

Zhu Zhi knew that Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Zu Mao were brothers and sisters, and Huang Gai was reluctant to let go of Han Dang's death for a while, so he turned his head to look at Cheng Pu and asked, "Demou, what do you have in mind." ”

Cheng Pu's face was solemn, and he muttered: "Let's tell the young master the truth about what we have seen today, and let him decide." ”

Zhu Zhi knew that although Sun Ce's martial arts were strong, after all, he was only a teenager, he was young and had little experience, and most things still relied on Cheng Pu and Huang Gai, as long as one of these two refused to turn back, things would not be easy to do, Zhu Zhi already had the heart to persuade Cheng Pu and Huang Gai at this time, so he ignored Huang Gai's vicious eyes and continued: "The two generals listen to me, you see, soldiers are being recruited here, we don't need to ask Liu Xin, as long as the young master can be recruited to join the army, with the martial arts of the two generals and the young master, One day he will stand out from the army, if Liu Xin has been popular in the future, then everyone will be a hero of the revival of the Han family, if Liu Xin is gradually mediocre, the Sun family will naturally have a chance to make a comeback. ”

Cheng Pu and Huang Gai listened to Zhu Zhi's words, their eyes didn't light up, the reason why the Sun family was able to have the opportunity now, and even almost had the heirloom jade seal, was all because Liu Hong was desolate and had no way, and now temporarily living under Liu Xin's hands does not mean that they will never have a chance: if Liu Xin has always been wise and martial, then even if they get into trouble, they will only become a stepping stone for others to climb up; If Liu Xin will become like Liu Hong one day, then it is still unknown who the world belongs to.

Seeing that neither of them spoke, Zhu Zhi knew that the matter was already half successful, so he hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and said, "If the two generals don't have any opinions, then we will go back immediately now and ask the young master to come and apply." ”

By the time they persuaded Sun Ce to hurry back to the county office, the long queue that had just been lined up had disappeared, and even the sign of the recruiting office was put away.

However, they can't be regarded as nothing today, at least Wu Shu heard that they will no longer be enemies with Liu Xin, and took the initiative to enlist as soldiers, they are still very pleased, and their bodies have recovered extremely quickly, and they are gradually able to get out of bed and act, but Wu Xian's delivery date is getting closer and closer, and it is obviously more inappropriate to continue to hurry at this time, and the group has to stay in the post house.

The news that Sun Ce and the others stayed in Exian County and did not continue to rush was soon sent to Liu Xin's desk, and Liu Xin only said five words lightly: "Take care of them." ”

Frustration arched his hand and said: "The secret report sent back by the phantom, they also went to the Exian recruitment office twice to snoop, and it seems that they also want to sign up, but they don't know what they want. ”

Liu Xin said with a smile: "They must be desperate, and they still want to save face and suffer crimes, if they come back to me directly, I will naturally arrange a position for them, let them toss, don't pay attention to them." ”

Frustrated, he said uneasily: "Back to the lord, you can't have the heart to harm people, you can't have the heart to guard against people, and you should be careful with Sun Ce and these people." ”

Liu Xin understands very well in his heart, Sun Ce, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and even Sun Quan, they all have ambitions or ambitions in their hearts, but as long as they are included in the account, they will always have only these few people, in the future, even if those civil and military generals of the Sun Wu Group in history join in, the object of allegiance will only be him Liu Xin, not the Sun family, even if these people form a small group, it will be difficult to achieve great things, and there is no need to worry about it at that time, so he waved his hand lightly and said: "Gonghe, there is nothing to worry about." If they take refuge in other princes, or set up their own mountains, sooner or later they will be exterminated by us, if they come to us, we must treat them sincerely, let the world's talents see, I Liu Xin is a person who is willing to give up his past suspicions and repay his grievances with virtue, not to mention it, there are other major things. ”

Fu Zhu took out a document again, replaced it, and said, "Lord, this is the news I just got, Liu Mao is seriously ill. ”

Liu Xin knew that Liu Mao died early in history, but he didn't expect that he was really sick now, if Liu Mao died now, wouldn't it hurt this girl to let Wu Maran marry him, couldn't help frowning, and quickly asked: "What kind of disease did he have, did you ask Mr. Zhang to take a look." ”
