Zhou Yu ate and drank to his heart's content, and came to Jiedu Mansion on horseback. There was still some distance from the government office, and the soldier standing guard called out to him, "Your Excellency, please dismount and show your waist card." ”

Liu Congzhi is a thief with a weak heart, and the investigation is very strict. Zhou Yu dismounted and led the horse to the soldiers.

"Please inform the envoy of Jiedu, the special envoy of the imperial court, Zhou Yu, to come to perform official duties."

Zhou Yu's face was serious, and he showed the official letter to the soldiers. It is impressively stamped with the jade seal of the Son of Heaven.

"Wait a minute, let the villain go to the ceremony." The soldiers did not dare to slack off.

Outside Liu Congji's dormitory, there was a room of people, all of whom were close associates of Jiedu Mansion, and a dozen or so people were quietly guarding outside.

Liu Cong's diet was difficult to swallow, and he held it all in one breath. Mrs. Pei and nephew Liu Zhi accompanied him in front of the bed.

The maid came in from outside and whispered a few words to the lady. Pei pulled Liu Zhi, and Liu Zhi came to the outside of the dormitory with his aunt.

"The imperial envoy is now outside the palace." Pei said.

"The imperial court sent someone?" Liu Zhi looked at the generals with an inquiring gaze.

Pei's dissatisfied, and said in his heart, Liu Zhi Liu Zhen, you are their backbone, why are they your backbone in the current situation. How, then, do you convince the people?

"The envoy of the imperial court is here, how should I deal with it?" Liu Zhen's gaze wandered over everyone's faces.

"Salute first, then soldier."

"Just don't do it."

"It's better to stabilize the people first."

The crowd was whispering outside. In the dormitory, Liu Congjian opened his eyes, his eyes were cloudy, and his face was gray. He listened intently to the whispers of the people outside.

Madame Pei Shi came in with a smile on her face

"Sir, it's much better today."

"Madam, what should the people of the court do?" Liu Congzhi stretched out his thin hand from the quilt

Arm.

"Sir, don't worry about these things. Liu Zhen: They will deal with it. ”

Pei Shi sat on the edge of the bed, held her husband's arm, and gently placed it in the quilt.

"Let Liu Zhi go and find out the wind first." Pei said softly.

His wife is a woman who does not let her eyebrows go, has an opinion on everything, and has general knowledge. Liu Congzhi nodded in agreement. Close your eyes, he is out of oil, and many things are powerless.

Liu Zhi led his cronies Liu Shouyi, Liu Shouzhong, Dong Kewu, and Cui Xuandu to the mansion. He wanted to see who was here from the court at this time.

The strong dragon can't suppress the earth snake, this is his realm, what kind of heart does he have and weakness. Thinking of this, Liu Zhi straightened his waist.

"Bring him up." Liu Zhi commanded.

The guards strode out, "Bring someone with you." ”

Zhou Yu walked into the mansion, and a young man sat there steadily. He straightened up, omitting even basic pleasantries.

"The emperor's grace is vast, and the imperial court appointed Zhou Yu as a special envoy to come to Zhaoyi Town to condole."

Liu Zhi left his seat and stepped down the steps, a few steps away from Zhou Yu, wanting to kneel down to thank Tian'en.

Liu Shouyi and the others turned their wrists up, meaning that you are wearing armor, don't bow down.

Liu Zhi bowed down and thanked him, "The saint is wise, the emperor's grace is mighty, and we should do our best to be loyal to the court." ”

"Is it all right? The official deserves to meet the general. Zhou Yu's tone was sincere.

Liu Zhi looked at the others, and several of them nodded, "The general is feeling a little unwell and is recuperating in the mansion." ”

"This official is going to visit the general and bring the saint to comfort the soldiers guarding the border." Zhou Yu put pressure on the saint.

Liu Zhi has a big head, looks similar to him in age, and doesn't understand things. Step by step, bite and hold on.

"Lord Zhou came from afar, the journey was tiring, and he was not in a hurry. Arrange room and board first, and Liu will pick up the wind and wash the dust for the adults. ”

Liu Congji did not come forward, and he could not see him for the time being. The trickiness of this is self-evident. Zhou Yu settled down and made up his mind to make a move.

"It's better to be respectful than to obey. This official is in accordance with what Lord Liu said. Zhou Yu was in front of them, without humility. He came here on behalf of the imperial court.

"Lord Zhou, please." Liu Zhi took a half step back.

Liu Shouyi took a step forward, bowed down and said, "General, the last general will take the first step and go to arrange food and lodging for Lord Zhou." ”

In front of the envoys of the imperial court, they called General Liu Zhi directly, and they privately tacitly got the official face to talk about things? Liu Shouyi's voice landed, and his eyes looked at Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu frowned, and said with a smile: "If you are not in the Jiedu Mansion, wearing armor, boss, and the random name of the general, this official thinks that he has strayed into the land of the king and thief by mistake. ”

Liu Zhi is a good baby, playing a round game, "Lord Zhou is really good at laughing." ”

Liu Shouyi summoned his subordinates, "Wait for the order, the court official Zhou Yu will come to inspect, you must take good care of him for me, if there is a slight mistake, I will ask you." ”

Everyone said yes. Liu Shouyi secretly instructed his henchmen, "Without General Ben's order, he is not allowed to step out of the room for half a step." We must be optimistic about him and do not allow him to act privately. ”

"Although the general is assured, not only can he not come out, but outsiders cannot enter without the permission of the general."

The henchmen comprehended Liu Shouyi's intentions, and what about the officials of the imperial court, when they arrived here, they were not at their mercy. What he wants to hear and what he wants to see, he has no way of understanding the real Zhaoyi Town.

"Lord Zhou will go and rest first." Liu Shouyi made proper arrangements and came back to invite Zhou Yu to accompany him.

"Lord Liu, the imperial court sent this official to Zhaoyi Town, not to hide from Qingjing, to be lazy and not to work. There's no reason to go and rest as soon as you arrive at the government. Zhou Yu's face sank.

Their so-called good intentions, he flatly refused. Liu Zhi is young after all, and he can't bear the big hat of the imperial court. He came out to play the round.

"Rest or not, I'm saying, breakfast is useless, let's go eat first."

Several people are arguing. The maid broke in panting, "Childe, Childe, Lady is looking for you." ”

The people in the back house went directly to the government to spread the word. Liu Zhi knew that things were extraordinary, he was worried, he didn't care about greetings, and lowered the fire on both parties. One arched his hand and said, "Farewell." Liu Zhi threw down a few people and left with the maid by himself.

"Lord Zhou, please." The four of them sandwiched Zhou Yu in the middle, followed by their own soldiers.

Liu Zhi strode to the back house, and the maid trotted all the way to barely keep up. The lady told her not to keep her quiet about the matter, and the maid did not dare to express her grief in her heart.

Outside the dormitory, the generals did not leave. The people who came over in the shadow of the sword and sword were all red at this time, and some of them were secretly crying.

"Uncle, uncle, the child is here."

Liu Zhi stepped into the temple door, tears streaming down his face. In the dormitory, Pei knelt beside the bed, mourning and weeping.

"Master, master, you don't care, leave our mother, you can't bear to see our orphans and widows helpless? Master, you are gone, and the concubine body does not want to live anymore, master, wait for the concubine body, and the concubine body will accompany the master. ”

Pei Shi stood up, blurred his eyes with tears, looking for scissors, knives, looking for a short time, and accompanying his husband on the Huangquan Road.

Liu Zhi rushed forward, knelt in front of Pei, and hugged her legs. "Auntie, my uncle died. The nephew will take care of the aunt, the younger siblings. ”

"Zhen'er, pity your uncle for his loyalty, he was forced to die by the imperial court. Originally, his condition had improved, what kind of envoy was it, but when your uncle heard that the imperial court sent an envoy to come, the imperial court did not understand your uncle's loyalty, and it was clear that he did not trust him. Your uncle was aggrieved, so he couldn't come up in one breath, and he died, leaving us orphans and widows. ”

Pei Shi cried and was extremely aggrieved. Zhou Yu didn't know that he was wearing an invisible hat on his back.

"Auntie, the court doesn't trust Zhaoyi Town, and the officials force the people to rebel. How can our Zhaoyi Town live up to the expectations of the imperial court, we will follow the ideas of the imperial court. ”

"Your uncle died unjustly."

The two of them knelt in front of the bed. Liu Congjian was wearing a shroud with a jade toad in his mouth and parked on the bed.

"Zhen'er, go and invite all the generals to come in and discuss what to do next."
