Chapter Twenty-Eight: Father-Son Talks
"Yu'er, you're finally back - I'm worried about my mother, you haven't heard from me for the past few days, and my mother has dreamed of you standing in front of my mother in a blur of flesh and blood, and I'm scared to death! Come - drink the chicken soup that my mother stewed for you to replenish your body first. Zhou Yu was rescued from the horse by Dian Wei, he was fine, just scratched a little skin. Dian Wei was going to resign to Zhou Yu and continue to go back to his small yard to hunt for a living. There is also a point that Dian Wei can see clearly, what generals, princes and other people he has been getting along with these days, from their eyes and demeanor, he is contemptuous of himself, even if he saves the life of His Royal Highness the Prince, in the end, he will take himself down and ask for guilt. It is Zhou Yu and Cao Cao who can be recognized by him, at least they have a kind of respect for themselves.
It's good to say that Dian Wei is not good, leave now, the prince's assassination is confusing, and the second brother Zhou Yu is determined to protect the prince, he really can't rest assured that this sworn righteous brother will return to Zhou's mansion with Zhou Yu.
I heard that Dian Wei is Zhou Yu's eldest brother, and he has saved Zhou Yu's life many times, Zhou Xian and his wife are grateful for preparing good wine and good food to entertain Dian Wei. The happy Zhou Mansion allowed Dian Wei to find the warmth of home.
"Yu'er and Dian Wei will follow me to the study, Zhou An, you go and stay outside the study, and no one is allowed to approach." After eating, Zhou Xian asked Zhou Yu and Dian Wei to enter the study to discuss important matters.
"Bang-" The study door was slammed shut.
"Yu'er, my father wants to know what has happened in the past few days, who is going to assassinate the prince? You have protected the crown prince many times, and I am afraid that you will be the next target of these assassins. Zhou Xian looked at Zhou Yu seriously and said.
"Father, you and your mother are worried about the child. According to my escape in the past few days, there are two groups of killers who want the prince's life, one group of black-clothed people is unknown, and the other group is a sect member from Taiping Dao; Both sides had the same purpose of killing the prince, but there were some differences between the two sides. The people in black are very good, and they are determined to take the prince's life, while the people of Taiping Dao are responsible for the murder task because of lack of money and food, and they have some divine water and other things in their hands, which are very lethal! I suspect that the specific mastermind behind the scenes is from the palace...... Who is it? I guess it's the Ten Standing Servants or the Second Prince, or maybe Your Majesty! ”
"As far as my father knows, who are the other group of old demons in Montenegro? Bandits? I haven't heard of this group of people near Luoyang. The battle in the palace is still far away, if we are not careful, it will be a catastrophe! Zhou Xian was still puzzled, obviously a group of killers, how could he still separate several groups of people, if Liu Hong, the son of heaven, handed over this errand to himself to investigate, then his black gauze hat really couldn't be saved.
"Uncle-the old demon of Montenegro is a plan that Gong Jin's virtuous brother thought of to secretly cross Chen Cang on the plank road, and then we will have another golden cicada to get out of the shell, and we will escape unharmed. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not have been assassinated when he arrived at the door of his house - it was all because he didn't listen to Gong Jin. Dian Wei scratched his head embarrassedly, in fact, he blamed him for hitting Cao Cao's horse, so that Zhou Yu revealed his secrets.
"What? Gong Jin, what's going on? I've made you confused like this, why are you still involved in Sun Tzu's Art of War. Zhou Xian looked at the two people in front of him with a puzzled expression, not knowing what these two people were talking about? Could it be that the old demon of Montenegro was fabricated out of thin air?
"Ahem-Brother Dian, let me tell you! After we were rescued by Brother Dian in the mountains, we returned to his residence and discussed staying for one night and returning to Luoyang the next day. Who knew that there were two waves of killers and two wolves in the night, the black killers came early and there were many of them, and Brother Dian and I couldn't kill them with all our might. Just when we were about to lose our hold, ten people from Taiping Road came, and they all called themselves Yellow Turban Lux. With the divine water in his hand, half of the black-clothed killer's centaurs were instantly crippled, and all these injured black-clothed killers were killed, and the three of us were outnumbered and could only become lambs to be slaughtered, but the child heard that the master had said a mouthful of peaceful things, so he used these things to call the other party's leader, and after some bargaining, the other party's purpose was to ask for money and food to help the victims, and His Royal Highness the prince was also for his own safety, so he reluctantly agreed to the other party's request. The son thought that if the minister of the court and the central government learned that the prince was held hostage, it would definitely become a stain on His Royal Highness the Prince's future boarding, so I fabricated the name of an old demon in Montenegro to confuse the public, and then I and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince quietly returned to Luoyang City, and Taiping Dao also got benefits, and we were safe and sound, as for the money and food being cheated away, it was to blame the leader. How do you know that Hengsheng Branch ran into Cao Cao and caught up with another assassination! It seems that the killer must be someone from the court or the palace, otherwise how could he get the news so quickly......"
After listening to Zhou Yu's eloquent story, Zhou Xian felt that his son's plan was right, but the plan couldn't catch up with the changes, and one thing was very clear, that is, the killer came from the palace or the court. Thinking of this, Zhou Xian couldn't help but sigh, His Majesty's body is not as good as day by day, and the battle for the storage position has begun, and it is not a small disaster.
"Yu'er, who do you think you should put your bet on as a father to protect the safety of the Zhou family? Today's assassination at the gate of the city involved his father, as Luoyang Ling did not maintain the law and order of the Gyeonggi Territory, and he had to be charged with negligence at the worst. After saying this, Zhou Xian instantly felt that he was much older, he was already a little tired of this political struggle, but he still supported his son for a few years and arranged a good future for his son.
"Father, I don't think we should bet on anyone, and Father doesn't have to worry about being questioned by His Majesty. The son has saved His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in danger many times this time, at most, it is a merit and a demerit, and now the competition for the position of the prince is not suitable to intervene, just wait and see what happens. Father, the child feels that this place is becoming more and more a place of right and wrong, and it is better to leave early. Zhou Yu actually wants to say that whether it is Liu Xie or Liu Bian as the emperor, can not change the terminally ill Han Dynasty, he clearly knows that the Yellow Turban Rebellion is about to break out, the era of the division of the heroes is coming, although he arranged for Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang to master a part of the money and horses, but now he still lacks the master and the right general, if you want to compete in the world, you must be one step ahead, now their father and son stay in Luoyang like a bird trapped in a cage, want to fly but how to escape from this invisible shackles.
"Yu'er, since you entered the palace and became the companion of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you have already been involved in the battle for the storage position, how easy it is to get out! Since you have no intention of fighting, then your father will not force you, after these few days of fear and fear, I also figured it out, as soon as the matter here is over, I am ready to return to my hometown, our father and son can be a carefree rich man with a few acres of land. Your grandfather is old, and it is also very hard to bring your sister, I hope Yu'er will not regret it. Zhou Xian thought that Zhou Yu had no intention of being an official, and he was also a little disheartened, so instead of living a frightened life, it was better to go back to his hometown and enjoy the joy of family.
"Okay-father, let's leave and return to our hometown when this matter passes, having a son will definitely not disappoint your old man, I promised you to be the pride of the Zhou family." Zhou Yu heard that Zhou Xian agreed to leave Luoyang, his face was overjoyed, and he let out a long breath in his heart, but just in case, he decided to make some preparations in advance, so that he and his father could leave Luoyang justifiably.
Coming out of his father's study, he summed up with Dian Wei, Dian Wei's temper and character are not suitable for staying in Luoyang City, there are always princes and grandchildren in the city who bully and dominate the market, and they can cause a monstrous disaster if they are not careful, and they also have a cottage in Mangdang Mountain, which just needs a master to sit down. Dian Wei was very happy after hearing this, and was willing to help Zhou Yu train those guards, Zhou Yu arranged Dian Wei also felt a little tired, so he went to the house early to rest.
