Luan Yi's frankness made Jiangdong and his party let down their guard, open their hearts and drink freely, and the atmosphere of the banquet soon reached a climax.

That night, Luan Yi and Sun Ce both drank a lot of wine, and they didn't wake up until the next day.

After sobering up, Sun Ce immediately found the big tent where Zhou Yu was.

Outside the tent were two guards and a sergeant with a red cross armband on a white background. Sun Ce recognized the latter as a healer in the army of Our Lady.

When the three of them saw that it was Sun Ce, they greeted him with a raised hand salute from the Church of the Virgin, "Meet General Wei." ”

"How's Dr. Zhou?" Sun Ce asked the doctor.

The healer said, "General Huiwei." Dr. Zhou's condition has been controlled, but his spirit is not very good, which is an obstacle to his recovery. ”

Of course, Sun Ce knew the reason for Zhou Yu's mental malaise, "I'll go and persuade him." ”

"There's General Lao Wei."

"That's right!" Sun Ce lifted the curtain of the big tent and suddenly remembered that he didn't know what the doctor's name was, so he turned around and asked, "Dare to ask Mr. Honorable Name?" ”

"In Xia Huajie." The healer bowed.

"Hua?" Hearing this remote surname, Sun Ce immediately remembered a person, "Dare to ask Hua Tuo Hua Divine Doctor is your ......?" ”

Hua Jie said: "It's my father." ”

Sun Ce said: "Oh, I have admired Lingzun's name for a long time. With you to heal Gong Jin, Gong Jin's recovery is just around the corner. ”

"General Wei is overrated. However, when diagnosing and treating serious diseases, the doctor's medical skills are one aspect, and the key lies in the patient's mood. When the patient is in a good mood, he will get better quickly. I also hope that General Wei will bother and let Dr. Zhou untie the knot early. ”

Hua Jie's chattering advice made Sun Ce's heart warm, "Thank you Hua Langzhong for caring about Gong Jin so much." ”

"Healer's parents' heart, this is what should be done in the future." Hua Jie said in a pious tone.

"'Healer's Parent's Heart?' It must come from the mouth of the Chinese divine doctor, and the words of the true heirloom are also! ”

Hua Jie arched his hand in the direction of the main tent of the Chinese army and said, "General Wei has misunderstood, this is what the sect leader taught us, and it is now engraved on the stone tablet in front of the classroom of the Holy Cross Medical College. ”

"Oh?" Sun Ce raised his eyebrows, "The sect leader is really benevolent!" Until he said it, he didn't realize that his title to Luan Yi had changed from King Qi to Sect Master.

There were five charcoal stoves in Zhou Yu's big tent, four of which were set on wooden shelves in the four corners, and one was placed in the center of the big tent. The whole tent was baked by charcoal, filled with spring-like warmth. Because the serious illness had just recovered and he couldn't see the wind, Zhou Yu's soft couch was placed in a sheltered corner in front of the side of the big tent.

At this time, Zhou Yu was lying on the soft collapse covered with a deerskin mattress, covered with a silk quilt embroidered with willow leaf patterns, and a bowl of steaming decoction and a few pills were placed on the bedside table not far from the soft couch.

A white-clothed doctor with his hair tied sat on the edge of Zhou Yu's couch, shaking Zhou Yu's shoulder, trying to turn his body over, while begging Zhou Yu in a feminine tone, "Doctor Zhou, if you don't take medicine, your illness will recur." If you have three longs and two shorts, Dr. Hua and I have to accompany you to the funeral. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Yu's shoulders moved, but only moved. "Take the medicine out. If I die, you tell Luan Ziqi and say that I, Zhou Gongjin, want to die, and it has nothing to do with you. ”

"Hey......" the healer sighed, "if you don't take the medicine again, don't blame us for pouring it." With that, the healer stood up and shouted to the door, "Master Hua, he still refuses to take medicine." Do you want to find a few strong men to pour him in? As soon as he finished speaking, the doctor saw Sun Ce, who had entered the account.

Immediately, the palms of his hands overlapped, posed in the shape of "female", and saluted Sun Ce, "Meet General Wei." ”

Only then did Sun Ce realize that the doctor in front of him turned out to be a girl. "Uh...... "For the first time, he heard that there were still female dependents in the army, and he immediately believed the rumors that there were female medical officers in the army of Our Lady, and that women were allowed to join the army as officers." Dr. Zhou doesn't take medicine? He asked the female medical officer.

The latter nodded.

"Get out! I'll feed him. ”

The female medical officer peeked at Sun Ce, saw that the other party had an angry face, and said that it was her act of finding someone to forcibly pour medicine that angered the new Wei general, and then she looked frightened and obediently slipped out of the tent.

Sun Ce slowly walked to Zhou Yu's couch, sat down on the edge of the couch, then picked up the decoction and said to Zhou Yu, "Why don't you take the medicine?" ”

Zhou Yu turned around with tears on his face and said, "Defeated like this, what face do I have to live in this world." ”

Sun Ce's eyes turned red and said, "Gong Jin, don't blame yourself too much. The root cause of the defeat is not you, nor me, but Luan Ziqi is too strong. Even if we don't defeat in Nanyang, Luan Ziqi will fight to Moling in less than ten years. The ending will still be the same. ”

"I'm not reconciled!" Zhou Yu wiped a handful of tears and said.

"Actually......" Sun Ce paused and said sincerely: "Actually, you and I both know in our hearts that sooner or later we will have such a day, right?" It's just that in the past, we didn't want to admit it. ”

Hearing Sun Ce's words of opening his heart, Zhou Yu choked violently. Who's to say it isn't! If at first he and Luan Yi were enemies to be competitive, then the later confrontation was out of fear.

It's a bit contradictory to say, he is afraid of Luan Yi, so he is an enemy of Luan Yi everywhere, the purpose is to weaken Luan Yi, prevent Luan Yi from becoming strong and affect Jiangdong.

But he repeatedly made enemies of Luan Yi and repeatedly ended in defeat. Not only did he not suppress Luan Yi, but he was scarred.

He realized that one day the Jiangdong foundation would be buried, but he was unwilling to admit such a reality, so he buried it in his subconscious with hypocritical arrogance, so that when reality came knocking on the door, he was unwilling to accept it.

"Why!" Zhou Yu grabbed his head sharply and let out a question with an exclamation aura, "Why is Luan Ziqi so powerful?" Let so many worlds meet defeat at his hands. ”

"I don't know." Sun Ce said frankly: "Perhaps, it is really Our Lady who is blessing him!" Otherwise, how could he make glass, gunpowder...... So many strange things. And the Church of Our Lady. You should know better than anyone else, that thing is not something that ordinary people can figure out. ”

"That's all I can understand." Zhou Yu puffed out his cheeks, "Providence is so, providence is so!" The destiny of heaven cannot be violated, what can we do! "He began to try to accept reality.

"Yes! Perhaps it would be a good thing to do things under the master's account. Sun Ce then told Zhou Yu about Luan Yi's performance at yesterday's banquet, "Look, as the world says, he has no frame and is very approachable. ”

"Wrong! He has shelves. Zhou Yu said thoughtfully: "There is such a sentence in the "Collection of Divine Talents" compiled by Cai Zhaoji, which roughly means: 'The shelf that is put out is a fake shelf, and the shelf erected in people's hearts is the real shelf'. Luan Ziqi's approachable behavior is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and has erected a real frame for him in people's hearts. ”

Sun Ce has also read "The Collection of Divine Talents" many times, and said with a smile: "Gong Jin didn't say it, I almost forgot that Luan Ziqi said such a thing." ”

"The Collection of Divine Talents is still worth scrutinizing." Zhou Yu smiled bitterly, reluctantly sat up, and took the initiative to take the medicine bowl from Sun Ce's hand and drank it all. "Hey, this thing is bitter."

Sun Ce saw that Zhou Yu was willing to take the initiative to take medicine, and said with a smile: "Good medicine is bitter!" There are also a few pills, let's take them together. ”

Zhou Yu chewed the pill and asked vaguely, "What are Bo Fu's plans for the future?" ”

"What else can I do. Go back to Jiangdong first and hand over the city defense. Then follow Luan Yi to do a big career. ”

"Big business?" Zhou Yu snorted coldly, "The world is almost calm, what kind of big business is there." ”

"Gong Jin! Let's sit in the well and watch the sky. The corners of Sun Ce's mouth rose, and he used the idiom he had just learned - sitting in a well and watching the sky. Subsequently, he explained the gist of sitting in the well and watching the sky to Zhou Yu.

"Why do you say that?"

"How big is the world...... We are always staring at the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty! As he spoke, Sun Ce took out the generous gift that Luan Yi gave him yesterday from his arms, and unfolded it in front of Zhou Yu, "Look what this is?" ”

Zhou Yu took a look, and a line of big characters came into view - "The map of the country under the sky." He held the atlas in his trembling hand and looked back and forth, "Obediently, I am really a toad who sits on a well and watches the sky." ”

……

The seventeenth day of the first month of the seventeenth year of the Holy Yuan. When Zhang Zhao saw hundreds of warships with sails with blood-red cross patterns appear in Qu'a Harbor, a layer of cold sweat oozed from his slightly old cheeks. I kept saying in my heart: It's over, it's all over!

Thankfully, this time, the Cult of the Virgin Mary's fleet did not bombard Qua like it did last time, but dropped anchor and stopped, sending only a small boat towards the river.

Zhang Zhao covered his eyes with his hands to block the scorching spring sun, jumped to look, and saw that it was none other than his lord Sun Ce, who was standing on the head of the boat.

He greeted the shore with a shocked face, waited for bloodshot eyes, and asked, "Lord, why are you ......?"

Sun Ce waved his hand and stopped Zhang Zhao's words, "This matter can't be finished in one or two sentences, it's important to do the right thing first." He ordered the soldiers in the army to lay down their weapons and prepare to welcome the arrival of the King of Qi. "Lay down your arms? Greet?

The smart Zhang Zhao immediately understood his current situation. Obviously, no matter what happened before, now the lord has descended. Finally it fell.

Zhang Zhao let out a sigh of relief, for so many years, in order to avoid being conquered by Luan Yi, the strings in his heart have been tightened and tightened. He was exhausted physically and mentally, and he was just over forty years old when the folds were crawling all over his forehead. Outcome...... Still did not change the trajectory of fate.

Getting such an ending, Zhang Zhao was not only not disappointed, but felt relaxed.

He was so tired. Right now...... Finally, I can relax my nervous spirit and take a good rest.
