Chapter Seventy-Eight: Feng Yi
Lu Yi saw that Sun Shao had said it to this point, so he was relieved. Although he was careful, his income of 300 gold a year was in front of him, and it was unrealistic for him to be tempted at all. He looked at Sun Shao for a long time, and saw that Sun Shao's face was sincere and there was no hypocrisy, so he laughed a little embarrassedly: "The general is so generous, I shouldn't refuse, but this gift is too heavy, Lu Yi's ability is shallow, and he can't afford it." Please take it back to the general. β
Sun Shao frowned, revealing a helpless look, he glanced at Lu Yi, and said with a long sigh: "Bo Dao is worried, I can understand." In fact, I want to give you this recipe, but I have no choice but to do it. Bo Dao is an insider, so he must know my situation. I'll just say something heartfelt to Bo Dao, I gave these to Bo Dao because I don't want to stay in Jianye in the future, my aunt is a Bo person, she won't run these, rather than wasting it in vain, it's better to give it to Bo Dao. β
Lu Yi was stunned for a moment: "The general is not in Jianye, where do you want to go?" β
"The sea is wide and the fish jumps, and the sky is high for the birds to fly." Sun Shao said gloomily: "After this battle, I want to find an island to spend some leisure." Although Jianye is large, it is not a place where I live for a long time. β
Lu Yi was silent, he was a little shocked, but also a little relieved. Sun Shao suddenly wanted to give him such a generous gift, and he intuitively thought that Sun Shao wanted him to help him in great difficulty, so although he was red-eyed, he didn't dare to accept it. Now that Sun Shao said that he was leaving Jianye, the situation would be different. His situation in Jiangdong is very special, and now he has unsettling strength, Sun Quan and some cronies are discussing how to curb him, Lu Yi knows this, presumably Sun Shao also feels it, so he has the idea of going overseas.
It should be said that this reason is credible. Lu Yi already believed it in his heart, but on the surface, he still comforted Sun Shao: "General, although some villains talk irritably in front of the Supreme, the Supreme still trusts the general, so why should the general be worried." Overseas wilderness, where can it compare to the prosperity of Jiangdong? β
"I'm not worried about the Supreme." Sun Shao shook his head and smiled faintly: "I just took into account the difficulties of the Supreme to go overseas. I know the Supreme love for me. But Bo Dao, there is a way that the husband is not guilty, but he is guilty. Although I have no other thoughts, the Supreme can trust in my loyalty, but what about others? Whether it is for their own interests or for the benefit of the Supreme, they will remind the Supreme to guard against me. If the Supreme believes in them, it hurts me, and if you don't believe in them, you will inevitably be called a refusal. Isn't it counterproductive that I was bent on serving the Supreme Being, but instead became a contradiction between the Supreme Monarch and the Minister? Therefore, for the sake of the Supreme, I also have to go overseas. If you can still gain something like this in the South China Sea, you can also reduce some of the burden for the Supreme. β
Lu Yi couldn't help but be a little moved when he saw Sun Shao speaking sincerely, and he nodded sympathetically: "The general's hard work, I really admire the ambition, but the bright ones are easy to stain, and a talent like the general can't serve by the side of the Supreme, it's really sad." β
"Those who know me, Bo Daoye." Sun Shao pretended to smile lightly, and stuffed the recipe into Lu Yi's hand: "I'm leaving, it's useless to keep these, so I'll give them to Bodao, which can be regarded as a little apology for bodao." To be honest, I'm just afraid of injuring my friends, and I'll be uneasy if my friends are affected. Bo Dao, I want to advise you, the eldest husband is alive, don't take money too seriously, with your talents, if you are willing to break the festival and fellowship with others, why is it still a Chinese scholar today? β
Lu Yi's heart surged with excitement, he always felt that he had never met a talent, but because of his poor family background, he couldn't be promoted for a long time, and he had complaints in his heart, and his colleagues, especially those who relied on his family background to get promoted, naturally had a strange relationship, he also wanted to make friends with them, but he was a little reluctant to make money, and now Sun Shao wanted him to "break the knot" and intersect with people, which hit his weakness, and he couldn't help but not introduce Sun Shao as a bosom friend. He hesitated for a moment, then bowed and bowed: "It's better to be like this, the general is still in Jianye for a day, and I will run for the general for a day." The general went overseas, and I also saved it for the general, and when the general needed it, as long as a piece of paper arrived, Lu Yi would definitely return it. β
Sun Shao laughed, and said in his heart that this Lu Yi still refused to leave the handle after receiving the money, so he was willing to say that he collected it for him, so it was okay, if he was really short of money in the future, he would come to him to get it. "That's good, just let me partner with Bodao to do business investment, and rely on Bodao's intelligence, the more you earn, the better."
Lu Yi saw that he responded, so he was relieved and carefully folded the recipe into his arms. sat with Sun Shao for a while, Sun Shao said that he would go, only talk about what he had seen and heard overseas, until he got up and left, and there was no place to ask Lu Yi for help, until Sun Shao went out with Sun Luban and others, who were full of food and drink, and Lu Yi's hanging heart was relaxed.
If Sun Shao wanted him to help, he might not help at all, but now that Sun Shao didn't want him to help, he wanted to help. Anyway, if he doesn't get anything in return for receiving such a generous gift, then wouldn't he Lu Yi become a complete villain? Lu Yi has always felt that he is an upright gentleman, and he will never do such a thing. He thought about it for a long time and finally made a decision.
Sun Shao took Sun Luban and others around the city, bought some rouge gouache for his daughter's family, and specially bought a few boxes of fallen forest powder for each of them, which made them smile. Fallen forest powder is from Yizhou from the best gouache, each cake is worth a gold, only noble ladies can afford to use, Sun Quan is in the entrepreneurial stage, life is frugal, the children's expenses are very strictly controlled, Sun Luban of course they have such gouache, but only during the New Year's festival there is a cake, usually reluctant to use, Sun Shao bought them a few boxes at once, of course, he was happy to shout "big brother is good". Sun Shao took them to the blacksmith shop again, picked out a hundred refining long knives for Sun Luban, and then bought a beautifully decorated book knife for Sun Luyuan and Sun Luyu, and then went home.
"Big brother, take us to see your Urging Camp." Sun Luban was still unsatisfied, and begged with Sun Shao's arm.
"Going to see the Destroyer Camp?" Sun Shao hesitated for a moment and turned his gaze to the other two little girls. Sun Luyuan and Sun Luyu actually don't like to fight and kill, but they were afraid of disturbing Sun Luban's interest, so they went back to clean up, besides, they just watched the training, and it wouldn't be too scary, so they both nodded.
"Alright, let's go see the Breaker Camp." Sun Shao smiled and told the coachman to change direction. The people who followed behind the guards were just relieved, but they couldn't help but be startled when they saw the carriage turn to leave the city. In the past two days, there have been many military camps outside the city, and many of those soldiers and soldiers are from robbers and rioters. The leading lieutenant hurriedly stopped, but before Sun Shao could speak, Sun Luban jumped three feet high, pulled out the knife he had just bought, and shouted: "I'm afraid that something will happen, find more people to protect me, you dare to block my way?" See that I don't kill you. β
The lieutenant thought he was unlucky, and retreated in a gloomy manner, sending people back to his house to ask for help, and on the other hand, he was full of spirits.
"Big Tiger, you're really a tiger." Sun Shaoqiang couldn't help laughing.
"These cowards." Sun Luban snorted, extremely disdainful: "I don't know whose way I came to the mansion, I know that my martial arts skills are very poor when I look at it, and I actually became a captain." Such a person will go to the battlefield in the future, and I guess even I won't be able to defeat it. β
"He can't do it, how can you send him to battle?"
"It could be." Sun Luban glanced around, leaned into Sun Shao's ear and said, "Big brother, do you know Sun Lin?" β
Sun Shao thought for a while, "I know, it's the son of the general who was captured." β
"He was only nine years old, and he became Yuzhang Taishou." Sun Luban said unevenly: "If you want me to say, the eldest brother is right to be Yuzhang Taishou, his nine-year-old baby, is not as good as me, can he be Yuzhang Taishou?" It's not that the gang said that he Ah Weng died wronged, Ah Weng had no choice but to give him such a good position. β
Sun Ben is dead? Sun Lin is too shou of Yuzhang? Sun Shao was really taken aback. Sun Ben's father, Sun Qiang, is Sun Jian's brother, Sun Ben has two brothers, and his younger brother Sun Fu wrote to Cao Ying to discuss the surrender because he was not satisfied with Sun Quan's takeover of Jiangdong - Sun Ben's daughter is the wife of Cao Zhang, the son of Cao Ying. In the thirteenth year of Jian'an, Cao Ying captured Jingzhou in one fell swoop, known as 800,000 troops to attack Wu, Jiangdong people were panicked, Sun Ben was not confident in the prospects, and was ready to write to Cao Ying again, but was later persuaded by Zhu Zhi. Because he only had an intention and did not implement it into action, although Sun Quan was dissatisfied with him, he did not treat him like Sun Fu. The general of the conquest did so, and Yuzhang Taishou took care of it, but soon sent Gu Shao to do Yuzhang Taishou, which was equivalent to taking away Sun Ben's power. Unexpectedly, Gu Shao's life was not long, he only did Taishou for five years, and he died in the twenty-first year of Jian'an, and then Lu Meng recommended Cai to be appointed as Yuzhang Taishou, how can he let Sun Lin, a nine-year-old child, take it on his behalf?
The meaning of the substitute leader often means that you don't have to take care of things, but enjoy the Taishou substitution encounter, does Sun Ben's family lack this bit of money?
Sun Shao thought about it and couldn't figure out the reason inside. But he didn't have Sun Luban as indignant, he never thought that Sun Quan would let him do what Yuzhang was too guarded, Yuzhang was a heavy place, Sun Quan would not let him go if he was killed, and he would rather give Sun Ben such an unreliable person than give it to him.
"It's too tiring to be too guarded." Sun Shao said with a smile: "If I am too shou, how can I have time to play with you." β
Sun Luban was happy, hugged Sun Shao's neck and laughed: "It's better to be a big brother." After a while, he leaned into Sun Shao's ear and said, "Are you really going to find the monster mentioned in the Book of Mountains and Seas?" β
Sun Shao was stunned, he had been wondering how this word reached Sun Quan's ears, and now Sun Luban also said, it seems that no one knows. He rolled his eyes: "How do you know?" β
Ardennes said." Sun Luban didn't think about it, and blurted out.
"Arden?" Sun Shao is even more strange, Sun Deng rarely has contact with him, how does he know?
"You must wonder how Arden knows, right?" Sun Luban smiled slyly: "Please, I'll tell you." β
Sun Shao smiled: "I'll ask Arden in two days, besides, if you know what to do, I really want to find the monsters in the Book of Mountains and Seas." Big Tiger, have you ever seen the unicorn? β
"Kirin? That's a beast. Sun Luban's eyes widened and he became excited.
"What a beast." Sun Shao smiled disdainfully: "I heard the Xiyi people say that in a far away place, there is a country full of unicorns. When this war is over, I want to go to that country to see, and when the time comes, I will catch a few heads and come back, doesn't that mean that our Jiangdong has a good reputation in the world? β
"Really?" Sun Luban clenched his little fist hard and slapped Sun Shao's shoulder twice, "Big brother, I know that you are a loyal minister, but those villains always say that the eldest brother has different intentions." β
"Sister!" Sun Luyu screamed, glanced at Sun Shao timidly, and squeezed his eyes at Sun Luban. Sun Luban realized his gaffe at this time, and quickly turned his head, covering his mouth and not saying a word.
Sun Shao smiled calmly and didn't ask. The carriage sailed briskly to the river, and came to his boat. Sun Luban, who had been resting for a while, suddenly shouted, pointed to a phoenix with wings flying on the bow of the boat, and said, "Big brother, why did you draw a phoenix on your boat?" β
"My ship is called Fengyi." Sun Shao jumped out of the car, picked them down one by one, and walked on the springboard while holding their hands, while laughing: "Big Tiger, do you know why it's called Fengyi?" β
"Yes." Sun Luban didn't hesitate, "Sister-in-law is a phoenix." β
"That's not right." Sun Luyuan said timidly: "It's the face of the book 'Xiao Shao Jiucheng, there is Feng Laiyi', right?" β
Sun Shao was surprised: "Ah Yuan, have you studied the scriptures?" β
Sun Luyuan smiled shyly: "I learned a little bit, my mother taught me." β
Sun Shao was relieved that the Yuan family's family scriptures were Meng Shiyi, but Mrs. Yuan's mother was from the Hongnong Yang family, and the Yang family's scriptures were Shangshu, so I must have read a little bit of it. He touched Sun Luyuan's little face and praised: "It's so smart, I know how to read books at such a young age, and I will also be a grandson in the future." β
Sun Luyuan shrank his neck shyly, stuck out his tongue, and blushed. Sun Luban snorted unconvinced, took Sun Shao's hand and shouted, "That big brother said, who is right?" β
"All right." Sun Shao laughed. Sun Luban raised his little face at Sun Luyuan and pouted proudly.
Chen Hai stood on the side of the gunwale, bowed down, and when Sun Shao passed by him, he lowered his voice and said, "General, although those two boys are faced, they are ......."
"But what?" Sun Shao glanced at him.
"But it's very difficult, and it seems that it is not easy to squeeze them out." Chen Hai grimaced.
"What do you mean?" Sun Shao didn't understand it for a while, but Chen Hai hurriedly explained. At midnight this morning, when the Destroying Front Battalion was just preparing to train for regular training, Zhou Xun and Sun Huan were waiting by the river with their men, they had Sun Shao's warrant in their hands, and Chen Hai couldn't refuse, so he had to let them participate in the training. Of course, Chen Hai is not stupid, knowing that these people were all sent by Sun Quan to seize power, so he specially increased the amount of training, originally every morning was to run five miles first, then swim two miles, and then practice the corresponding tactics such as boarding the boat and landing in turn. Things began to go smoothly, just after five miles, less than 200 of the 800 people brought by Zhou Xun and Sun Huan were left, and there was not a single one left after ten miles. Chen Hai was satisfied, and led people to start the next round of training, but he didn't expect that after they swam for two miles, Zhou Xun and Sun Huan came with more than a dozen personal guards, and without saying a word, they took off their clothes and jumped into the water. Although Chen Hai was a little surprised, he really wanted to see if they could swim the two miles, but the result was beyond his expectations, after he practiced the boarding tactics, they came back, although their legs were trembling and their faces were pale, they still asked to participate in the next training.
"These two boys have a temper, I'm afraid that if I don't drive them away in the end, I will cripple them, and the general will not be able to deal with them."
Sun Shao touched his chin and didn't say anything, didn't Zhou Xun say that he couldn't come, why did he change his hexagram again? He didn't say a word, and followed Chen Hai to the side of the gunwale, where ropes hung on the side, stretched straight and straight, and it was the soldiers of the Destroying Blade Battalion below who were practicing climbing.
Zhou Xunjing sat on the deck bare-chested, gasping for breath, his white skin looked very dazzling among the black soldiers, his face was pale, his chest rose and fell violently, and his hands were propped up on the deck, with traces of blood. As soon as he saw Sun Shao, he hurriedly struggled to stand up, licked his lips, and bowed: "General." β
Sun Shao frowned, waved his hand and asked Chen Hai and the others to stand farther away: "Didn't you say you couldn't come?" β
Zhou Xun gritted his teeth and didn't say anything, just clenched his fists.
"Injuries while climbing?" Sun Shao looked at his hand and asked.
"It's nothing, it's just worn out." Zhou Xun nodded.
"Does your grandmother know?"
"Yes." Zhou Xun paused, and hurriedly said, "General, please don't tell my grandmother about this matter." β
Sun Shao squinted his eyes and glanced at him, and nodded slightly: "Since you are willing to endure this hardship, I will not stop you." Regardless of whether you end up in the Destroyer Camp or not, as long as you can get these thugs to recognize you, you will be a good general wherever you go in the future. He stretched out his hand and patted Zhou Xunguang's slippery shoulder: "Ah Xun, you have all the advantages of your father, and you still have the tempering that your father has not gone through, why can't you make greater achievements than him?" Step up your game! β
Zhou Xun's nose was sour, and he replied loudly: "Oh." β
"Hah! Why are you here? Sun Luban suddenly jumped out, pointed at Zhou Xun and shouted in surprise. Zhou Xun was suddenly embarrassed. When the soldiers of the Destroying Battalion were training, in order to save clothes, they only wore a pair of bullnose pants, which was equivalent to the briefs of later generations, although he did not reach that point, but there was only a crotch crotch on the lower body, which was equivalent to a large shorts with trouser legs, all of them were men, who would have thought that three little girls suddenly ran out, one of whom was his prospective fiancΓ©e, and suddenly made his palate red. After a moment of sluggishness, Zhou Xuner didn't say a word, rushed into the cabin, snatched a pair of pants that he didn't know who took, put them on, and put on a short shirt, then walked out embarrassedly and saluted Sun Luban.
His embarrassment made the people next to him snicker.
Sun Luban was not as shy as Sun Luyuan and Sun Luyu, and calmly pointed at the soldiers of the Destroying Battalion who were curious onlookers, and asked, "Zhou Xun, can you beat them?" β
Zhou Xun glanced at the person next to him and shook his head: "Not now, but in two months, I will definitely be able to." β
"Bragging." Sun Luban turned his head and snorted disdainfully.
"Bragging or not, you can come back in two months." Sun Shao patted Sun Luban's head and led them to the second floor of the flying house. Zhou Xun looked at their backs, his face was a little ugly, and he turned around and smiled bitterly at Sun Huan, who had just climbed up and was lying on the deck like a dead dog: "Shuwu, can we hold on?" β
Sun Huan didn't care about answering him, he just opened his mouth and panted, and when he was panting evenly, he spat and said: "They have two shoulders on one head, and we also have two shoulders on one head, why can't we?" You wait, after two months, if I don't beat that vertical man with a blue nose and swollen eyes, I won't call Sun Huan. β
"Who are you going to hit?" Chen Hai leaned out from the railing of Feilu and looked at Sun Huan condescendingly, his eyes were no different from looking at a deflated three. Sun Huan was talking about him, and when he saw Chen Hai demonstrating, he was not afraid, he raised his head and looked at Chen Hai viciously: "Who else can there be, of course, it is you Senior Lieutenant Chen." β
"There's a kind." Chen Hai smiled disapprerovingly: "However, you have to get through these two months." Now, you give me the order, and immediately assemble on the deck, and you will send a hundred men, and we will send fifty men, and practice the tactics of deck fighting. He turned around and took two steps, then turned back to look at Zhou Xun: "Miss Sun wants to see." After saying that, he grinned and turned to leave.
Zhou Xun's face became very ugly. Sun Luyu wants to see the competition, but they are imaginary enemies, and they are one hundred against fifty, he knows very well in his heart, after running down the ten miles in the morning, whether his subordinates can still pick out people who have physical strength to practice is a question, as for winning the battle, let alone thinking about it. When he thought that his dignified partial general was about to be flattened, he hated it so much.
But there was no way to hate, he discussed it with Sun Huan, and barely gathered a hundred people to stand on the deck, Chen Hai was very face-saving, and personally took fifty people as their opponents. Sun Shao sat on the high seat of Feilu, Sun Luban stood by the railing with great interest, and shouted at Zhou Xun: "You must win, otherwise you will not be a general." β
"Big Tiger, come back." Sun Shao snorted majestically, Sun Luban didn't dare to squeak, and obediently retreated. Sun Shao waved his hand, Ding Feng waved the order flag in his hand, the drummer beat the war drum violently, and with the majestic drum, Chen Hai suddenly shouted:
"Destroy the Blade!"
Fifty soldiers shouted in unison: "Destroy the front! Before the words fell, fifty of them had already formed a wedge-shaped formation, with Chen Hai as the sharp edge, and rushed towards Zhou Xun and the others. Ten steps away, in the blink of an eye, Zhou Xun raised his knife and shouted: "The spearman stepped forwardββ"
Twenty spears with the tip of the spear removed pointed straight ahead, poking at Chen Hai and the others who rushed over. The spearhead is wrapped in cloth, and the cloth is dipped in ink, and whoever has an ink mass on his vital parts will be killed. Although it was a drill, but it was related to the faces of the new and the old, no one dared to back down, Chen Hai strode over, the unsheathed long knife roared in, swung the two spears in front of him, and flew in.
