Seeing this, Jia Xu cautiously asked, "Lord, what's wrong?" ”

Liu Xin sighed and said, "Mr. Zirou is critically ill, and there are three days left at most!" ”

Zirou is Kuailiang's cousin, when Liu Xin first arrived in Xiangyang, the Kuai family contributed the most, and the Kuailiang brothers gave him advice, and handed over 3,000 slaves to Liu Xin to solve his dilemma of insufficient troops. Since last winter, Kuai Liang's health has been bad, although Zhang Ji and Hua Tuo have been jointly treated, it has been delayed for more than half a year, and it has not improved, and now it can't be delayed.

Liu Xin knew in his heart that although Zhang Ji and Hua Tuo were called miracle doctors, they could not cure all diseases, no matter how developed medicine was in later generations, people's lifespan would be exhausted. Putting down the urgent paperwork, Liu Xin tried his best to calm down, and only after a while did he say: "Wenhe, I will now appoint you as the governor of Liangzhou, and I will be fully responsible for pacifying the war in Xiliang, and the troops under Yide and Hansheng will be at your disposal." ”

Jia Xu never imagined that Liu Xin would give him so much power, and hurriedly said: "The lord is so loving, his subordinates really dare not be." The subordinates just tried their best to assist the two generals, and hoped that the lord would take back his fate. ”

Liu Xin Zhengse said: "You know the situation in Xiliang best, only you are the most competent in the middle of the dispatch, you have to kill the enemy Youyide and Hansheng to do it, and the public platform is also in Xiaoguan, you can discuss with him more in case of trouble." Chang'an and Luoyang are guarded by Gongming, and I will explain to him that the grain and grass are heavy. You just have to help me take down Liangzhou with all your heart. ”

When Jia Xu heard Liu Xin's explanation so clearly, he hurriedly gave up his hand and said: "The lord has an order, and his subordinates must go to the soup to fight the fire, and they will not give up!" Just listen to the lord's meaning, you seem to want to go back to Xiangyang? ”

Liu Xin said with a solemn face: "Zirou has made great contributions, I want to rush back to see him for the last time, give him a good send-off, and it will not be in vain for him to follow me." Besides, I used to sit in Chang'an to put pressure on the heroes of Liangzhou, and now that I have decided to use troops, there is no difference between me and my absence. ”

Seeing Jia Xu's embarrassed face, Liu Xin understood what he meant, untied the sword at his waist, and said, "Wenhe, are you worried that Yide and Hansheng will not obey orders?" This saber was cast by Liu when he was in the river, and the seven brothers each held a sword, and seeing the sword was like seeing a person. Thou hast taken my sword, and if I had come, who would dare not obey me! ”

Indeed, as Liu Xin expected, Jia Xu had the intention to show his hand in the battle to pacify Liangzhou, but he was worried that his prestige and qualifications would not be able to suppress those brave soldiers, but he didn't expect that his mind had been seen through by Liu Xin at a glance. Jia Xu didn't dare to slack off, took the sword from Liu Xin's hand respectfully with both hands, shook it deeply at Liu Xin, and said, "Thank you, your subordinates!" ”

Liu Xin waved his hand and said, "Wenhe, you hurry up and prepare, by the way, invite Mr. Xenodu over, and I will go back to Xiangyang with him." ”

In order to be able to catch up with Kuai Liang for the last time, Liu Xin and Kuai Yue traveled day and night, fortunately, the post stations on the way from Xiangyang to Chang'an have been restored, and every time they arrived, they took a short rest, drank some water, ate some dry food, and then changed horses to continue to hurry, and in the early morning of the third day, they appeared under the long-lost Xiangyang City.

The city of Xiangyang is still as majestic as it is in the morning sun, the water in the moat has been replaced, the railings of the temporary bridge damaged in the battle have been repaired, and the banks of the river where countless lives have disappeared have been replanted with flowers and plants as if nothing had happened.

Kuai Yue immediately saluted Liu Xin and said, "Lord, my subordinates will visit my brother first, and I won't send my lord back to the house, please don't sin my lord." ”

Liu Xin waved his hand and said, "Xeno, I'm not busy going home, I'll go with you to see Mr. Zirou first." ”

Kuai Yue also knew that Liu Xin had been away from home for more than half a year, and he wanted to persuade him again, but seeing the determined look in Liu Xin's eyes, his mouth shook, and finally he didn't say anything.

The gates of Xiangyang City are closed day and night as usual, but the early morning is the coldest time in Xiangyang. Liu Xin glanced at it and saw that there were not many pedestrians on the street, and he didn't care about the rules he had set, so he rode his horse through the city.

Kuai Liang was lying on the sickbed, his face was sallow, he hadn't eaten for two days, and after Zhang Ji and Hua Tuo were diagnosed again, they had given up further treatment. When Liu Xin came in, he ran into the two of them carrying a medicine box and preparing to leave.

Zhang Ji saw Liu Xin and said in surprise: "Lord, why are you back?" ”

Hua Tuo's face was full of shame, shook his head and sighed: "My subordinates are incompetent. ”

Liu Xin patted the two of them on the shoulder and said, "Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven, you have already worked hard, this is not to blame you, go down and rest." ”

Kuai Liang heard that it was Liu Xin's voice, and suddenly came to his senses, struggled to sit up half of his body, and said, "My lord, ......"

When these two words were shouted, Kuai Liang was already in tears and could no longer say a word. Liu Xin stepped forward to help him, asked him to lie down again, and said, "Zirou, there is no need to be polite between you and me, I rushed back from Chang'an this time to see if there is any way to recuperate your body again." ”

Kuai Liang looked at Liu Xin, then at Kuai Yue behind him, and choked up: "Lord, the subordinates of their subordinates know that it will be in the past two days." The subordinates can follow the lord for a while, and they are content in this life, but they are just ......"

Liu Xin thought that Kuai Liang was worried about his family's livelihood in the future, so he quickly grabbed Kuai Liang's hand and said: "Zirou, don't say it, as long as I Liu Xin is in one day, I promise to let the children of the Kuai family enjoy the glory and wealth, and your son Kuai Jun will temporarily replace you when he takes the post of secretary of the Criminal Department." ”

Kuai Liang shook his head and said, "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and my subordinates can't worry about their affairs now." Although Jun'er has read poetry and books since he was a child, he has already topped the sky as a county taishou with his talent, where can he take on this heavy responsibility. The subordinates only pray that the lord will be kind to the people of the world in the future. ”

Speaking of this, Kuai Liang took a breath, waved his hand vigorously at Kuai Yue and the others, and said, "You all go down, I still have something to talk to the lord." ”

Liu Xin looked at the people around him and retreated, clasped Kuailiang's hand and said, "Zirou, now there are only you and me, if there is anything you don't worry about, you leave it to me, I will definitely try my best to meet your wishes." ”

Kuai Liang looked at Liu Xin in a daze and said, "If there is anything that the subordinates are not satisfied with, it is that they can't see the lord ascend to the throne with their own eyes." The subordinates ask the lord for one thing, and after the subordinates leave, they can turn the heads of their subordinates in the direction of the capital. When the lord comes to the world, his subordinates can also look at it. ”

Liu Xin couldn't have imagined that Kuai Liang's last words turned out to be this, he didn't say a word, just patted Kuai Liang's hand and nodded heavily. When Kuai Yue and Kuai Jun came in again, Kuai Liang could no longer speak, but there was a faint smile on his face.

According to Kuai Liang's meaning, he was seriously ill and did not alarm Liu Xin, but Ma Yun still insisted on sending an urgent letter to Chang'an. When Liu Xin arrived in Xiangyang, he did not go back to his home first, but came directly to visit Kuailiang, which was a great honor for the entire Kuai family. Just for these two points, Kuai Liang has nothing to regret Kuai Liang left, but he walked very peacefully, what he said to Liu Xin before leaving, no one knows, no one dares to inquire, but everyone thinks he made any special requests. Liu Xin didn't say anything, but took care of Kuai Liang's aftermath with his own hands, and was busy until dusk before returning to the state pastor's mansion.

The news of Liu Xin's return to Xiangyang naturally spread back to the mansion a long time ago, but everyone already knew about Kuai Liang's death, and they understood very well that he had not returned home so far. Although he was reunited with his family after a long absence, Liu Xin still couldn't lift his spirits because of Kuai Liang's matter, and locked himself in the study for three whole days, and he didn't come out until the day Kuai Liang was buried.

Kuailiang's funeral was very grand, and all the civil and military officials in Xiangyang were present, and many representatives of the scholar family also came to see him off. When Liu Xin and Ma Yun and his wife appeared together, those who thought that Kuai Liang's death would shake the status of the Kuai family in Xiangyang had to re-examine their thoughts, after all, Kuai Yue was still there, after all, Liu Xin still attached great importance to the Kuai family. According to Liu Xin's instructions, one end of Kuailiang's coffin was in the direction of Chang'an. This is also Liu Xin's final decision that took three days to make that he would set the future capital in Chang'an, and he would not hesitate.

Ma Yun knew that Liu Xin was a very emotional person, and Kuai Liang followed him conscientiously for seven years, so when he learned that Kuai Liang was no longer able to return to heaven, he would send this matter to Chang'an in the form of an urgent official document. On the way back to the state pastor's mansion, she saw that Liu Xin had not recovered from the grief of Kuai Liang's death, and couldn't help but persuade: "People can't be resurrected after death, you are always like this, if Kuai Liang knows in heaven, he will not be at ease." ”

Liu Xin squeezed out a smile and said, "I'm not just sad because of Kuai Liang's death, after all, he died of illness, and he is also dead." However, these soldiers who followed me still don't know how many of them died on the battlefield. ”

Ma Yun smiled and said, "Okay, don't continue to be sad." It is said that Xiao Biesheng is newly married, you have been back for three days, and you have not met with your sisters, do you have a new love in Chang'an? No wonder without this urgent letter, you are reluctant to return to Xiangyang. ”

Liu Xin knew that she was deliberately diverting her attention, so she also laughed, took Ma Yun into her arms, and said, "Don't say it, I've endured so hard in the past six months, I almost couldn't hold it back several times, and I wanted to indulge." ”

Ma Yun glanced at him obliquely, a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and said: "People are not the kind of stingy women, they will treat you to death, men, it is understandable to indulge once in a while, if you really can't control it, as long as you don't forget our sisters and children, I won't blame you." ”

Liu Xin glanced at Ma Yun seriously, and found that the way she spoke did not seem to be fake, and secretly thought to herself, is it because she has stayed in this era for a long time and has entered the countryside as she wants, and Ma Yun has also become generous in this matter?
