Lu Xun listened to Zhu Zhi's words, and couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, thinking that it was no wonder that this Zhu Zhi could quickly become Sun Quan's confidant, and he was really an eight-sided and exquisite character, so he figured out his meaning so quickly, and couldn't help but quickly help Zhu Zhi up, and said with a smile: "Zhu Taishou can be like this, it can be seen that Sun Quan is really perverse and unpopular." Ben Jiang has always known that although Sun Ce's son Sun Shao is young, he is smart and has a supple personality, and he is really a good candidate to control the Sun clan in Jiangdong. ”

"No." Zhu Zhi hurriedly agreed, and at the same time quickly took out a brocade bag from a servant beside him, handed it to Lu Xun, and said respectfully: "The last general will present the seal of this Wu County Taishou, and also ask the general to choose another master to take up the position of this Wu County Taishou, and the last general will take the general to see Wu Hou, and the general will come with me." ”

Lu Xun was not polite, so he directly took over the burden, and then took the position of Wu County Taishou, and ordered Lu Meng to reorganize the army and settle the people, and led a group of soldiers and horses with Chen Wu, and went to Wuhou Mansion with Zhu Zhi.

Before Lu Xunren left, he heard Zhu Ran snort coldly: "Shameless villain, you are so light and betrayal, you have received the kindness of the third generation of the Sun family, and you really have the title of your third important minister, from today on, I Zhu Ran and your grace are severed, no, from now on, I will no longer be surnamed Zhu, and I will still be called Shi Ran, old thief, you betray the lord, and you will definitely get retribution in the future." ”

But seeing that Zhu Zhi was suddenly furious, he pointed at Shi Ran and said: "You ignorant beast, now Sun Quan has murdered his brother and gone against the sky, he is really a traitor, and General Zhennan respects the order of the imperial court to receive the entire Yangzhou, which is both the heart of heaven and the will of the people, this is a move that is in line with the heavens and the people, why only you don't understand?" If you admit your mistake and ask me to promise you to return to the entrance wall, I can ask the general to spare you from dying, and at the same time, with your ability, even if you are a marquis and a general in the future, it is not impossible, why do you have to follow Sun Quan to do such a rebellious act? ”

I saw Shi Ran couldn't help laughing, and said sharply: "My Shi Ran's head can be broken and blood can flow, but this will can't be moved." ”

After that, Shi Ran sighed softly and said slowly: "I was ordered by the lord to stay in Wu County, but I failed to complete the lord's entrustment, I am really ashamed of the lord." Lu Xun, since I was captured by you today, I have nothing to say, but the ugly words are ahead, if you want to persuade me to surrender, it is simply a dream, I Shi Ran is only loyal to the lord in this life, and will not be loyal to the second person, so you should kill me. ”

Zhu Zhi couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this, and continued to persuade Shi Ran: "You brute, don't think that receiving some favors from Sun Quan means that you are righteous and loyal, you have to think about the consequences, once the general gives the order, I'm afraid you can't even find a place to regret it. Even if you don't succeed me anymore, you have to think about your biological parents. ”

I saw Shi Ran sighing: "You don't need to persuade anymore, I am determined to die today, but to repay the grace of the lord's public knowledge, hehe, you are for the sake of the country's society, in order to continue the lineage of the Jiangdong Sun family, you and I are not the same, why bother to say more?" ”

After finishing speaking, Shi Ran glanced at Lu Xun, and then pounced on Lu Xun with a fit, but was instantly killed to the ground by Lu Xun's own soldiers holding swords.

"Hehe, I Shi Ran died a deserved death today." Shi Ran smiled, and then slowly closed his eyes.

"Yes." Zhu Zhi has always treated Shi Ran as a parent, and when he saw him die in front of him today, he couldn't help but feel like a knife, helped Shi Ran up with tears, and called each other over and over again.

It seemed that Zhu Zhi's call had an effect, Shi Ran slowly opened his eyes, and said weakly: "Father, please don't blame me, the child knows, now that Wu County has been broken, the entire Jiangdong foundation will be difficult to preserve, I failed to complete the lord's entrustment, and I felt guilty, so I apologized to the lord with a death." In addition, my biological parents are still in the meeting, and after my death, the Lord will surely forgive my parents for their sins because of his mercy on me. In fact, the child knows that his father is not greedy for Liu Qi Juelu, but a helpless move to continue the Sun family's lineage, but the child has the child's own insistence, and today he has already decided to repay the lord with death. In fact, the child's death, the most sorry is the father, you, the child is deeply favored by the father, I am afraid that there is no way to repay it in this life, if there is a future life, I must make up for it......"

When Shi Ran said this, he didn't take a breath, and he died of anger.

"Ran'er......" Zhu Zhi saw that Shi Ran was dead, and what he said just now completely touched his heart, and he couldn't help but feel sad and cried.

When Lu Xun saw this scene, he also secretly sighed, he didn't expect the young Shi Ran to be so strong, and he was quite impressed in his heart, so he comforted Zhu Zhi a few words, and then proposed to report it to General Zhennan, so that he could pursue the young Shi Ran.

Only then did Zhu Zhi react, it turned out that he had let Lu Xun stand by his side for nearly half an hour, and hurriedly wiped away his tears, put away his sadness, and thanked Lu Xun solemnly: "Thank you for the general's kindness, alas, let the general wait for a long time, let's go see Wu Hou." ”

After finishing speaking, Zhu Zhi stood up, took a deep look at Shi Ran's corpse, wiped his tears and said: "Ran'er, please rest assured, no matter when, you are the best man of my Zhu family, you will always be the heir of your father, and my sons will admit that you are their eldest brother Zhu Ran at any time." ”

After that, Zhu Zhi gritted his teeth and led Lu Xun to leave the Taishou Mansion, and then went to the Wuhou Mansion.

As the inherited Marquis of Wu, Sun Shao's mansion is naturally in Wu County, after Sun Ce's death, the original Wuhou Mansion has become deserted, and there will be no guests for half a year. Sun Shao's mother, Gu Shi, took her son Sun Shao to live here under the emotion of human warmth, and never asked about the world anymore, just food, clothing, rent and taxes.

Although Gu has been silent since then, and has not said a word about what happened in Wuhou Mansion and Jiangdong, this does not mean that she does not complain about Sun Quan's affection in her heart, after Sun Ce's death, Sun Ce's personal soldiers and entourage were all replaced by Sun Quan, and now the personal soldiers in the Hou Mansion are all appointed by the late Wu County Taishou Zhu Zhi, nominally to protect Sun Shao's mother and son, but in fact, to more effectively supervise and control.

And Gu didn't mention this qiē to anyone, even her son Sun Shao and her uncle Gu Yong, because she knew that in the current situation, Mingzhe was the best choice.

On this day, Gu was teaching his son to read in the room, but suddenly heard footsteps outside the door. Then I saw a guard outside the door and said, "Madam, Lord Zhu came to visit him, saying that he had something important to discuss." ”

Gu Shi couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, because although Zhu Zhi was polite and polite on the surface, every time he pushed the door directly after saying what he asked to see him, he had never sent someone to report it like today.

However, Gu Shi didn't care about this much, knowing that now his life and death were in the hands of Zhu Zhi, once he made a small report to Sun Quan, it was estimated that his mother and son would never have a good life in the future, so Gu Shi hurriedly opened the door and personally welcomed Zhu Zhi into the hall.

"The last general, Zhu Zhi, see Madame." After Zhu Zhi saw Gu, he hurriedly gave a respectful salute.

Gu Shi also returned the courtesy, and then said slowly: "I don't know what Lord Zhu is doing here?" ”

But seeing Zhu Zhichang sigh a long time, he said again: "The last general saw his wife and Marquis Wu this time, and he came for the long-term plan of the Sun clan in Jiangdong, presumably Madame should have heard a rumor that Marquis Wanling instructed his henchmen to assassinate General Anton in order to seize power. ”

Hearing this, Gu Shi couldn't help but be shocked, his face suddenly changed greatly, and after a while, he eased up, and said to Zhu Zhi: "This is a rumor, the purpose is just to divide the relationship between my Jiangdong monarch and minister, and make my Jiangdong unstable, who will believe my Jiangdong people?" What does Master Zhu mean by using these words? Do you think that the concubine will believe such rumors? If according to the relationship between my Jiangdong Gu family and the Zhu family, Lord Zhu and my father are equals, and they are friends with my uncle Yuansi, so why bother my niece? If Lord Zhu wants his niece's life, just say it, there is no need to test my mother and son like this. ”

But when he heard that Zhu Zhi hurriedly said, "Madam misunderstood the general." The last general is not a verbal temptation, but there is something important to discuss with his wife. Ahem, the last general should be damned, I almost forgot to say it, now Wu County has been rebelled against the general under General Zhennan, this Lu Xun Lord Lu has broken through, and the last general has now chosen to submit to this General Lu. General Lu knew that General Anton was killed by the Marquis of Wanling, so he came to see his wife, and wanted to discuss with his wife, return the power of the Sun clan to the control of Wu Hou, dispose of the traitor Sun Quan, and clear the grievances for General Anton. ”

Gu Shi was shocked when he heard this, so he refused: "My lord and this general are really joking. The Marquis of Wanling is gentle and elegant, broad-minded, and has a deep brotherhood with her late husband, how can she murder her brother? Besides, although the concubine is stupid, she also knows that my Wu County and Wanling, where General Zhennan's army gathered, are separated by a Danyang County, and now I don't hear anything about Danyang, how can Wu County be broken by the enemy? You really don't have to be tempted, if you want to take the lives of my mother and son, you can take it at any time. ”

Zhu Zhi listened to Gu's words, and also looked at Lu Xun suspiciously, hoping to hear the other party explain, where did his army come from? Why was he defeated by him in such a daze? Because this is also a question that I have been puzzled about.
