The thunder was startled, and the rain came suddenly. In Lu Fuzhong, the subordinates carefully moved the three coffins off the carriage and placed them in the main hall to stop. The women lay on the coffin, howling loudly, while the men stood around the coffin, clenching their fists and gritting their teeth, their eyes full of hatred.

Zhou Yu slowly walked into the mourning hall, looking stunned, and walked to the spiritual seat, he took a deep look, and then took three incense sticks from the hand of the soul guardian boy and inserted them in the incense burner in front of the tablet.

When several widows saw Zhou Yu, their emotions were almost out of control, and they couldn't stop crying. Lu Kang stood on the side and said in a deep voice: "Gong Jin, you can send these three children back, the old man is very grateful." It's just that the war is now, and it's not appropriate to intersect, so please go back. ”

Lu Kang gave the order to dismiss the guests and got up to leave. Zhou Yu hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Lu is too guarded and slow, Zhou came this time, in addition to returning the bodies of the three sons, there is also one thing to tell you......"

"Zhou Gongjin, you are deceiving me and there is no one in the Lu family! When you see that adults are polite to you, you will kick your nose in the face! Don't get out of here! ”

"Shut up!" Seeing that Jia Ding spoke ill of Zhou Yu, Lu Kang scolded loudly, and his expression became more and more gloomy.

Under such circumstances, Zhou Yu not only did not retreat, but stepped forward and saluted the man: "Zhou is very sorry for the death of the three sons of the Lu family, but Zhou has the courage to ask: Since ancient times, which war has not been killed or injured?" The Lu family folded three sons, didn't Major General Sun lose his troops? If the surviving members of their family come to the Lu family to ask for their lives, what should you say? ”

"Our Lujiang County has always been well governed, the people live in peace, and the products are rich...... If it weren't for some people who blackened their conscience and worked for Yuan Shu's traitorous thief, why would we have fallen into such a field! ”

"I, Zhou Gongjin, was born in Shucheng and grew up in Lujiang, can I bear to see the people in danger and the city walls damaged? If it weren't for General Sun Shao to bring troops today, Yuan Shu would definitely send other generals. If others come here, I am afraid that they have already attacked the city in a big way, where will they besiege the city for three months and not storm it! ”

"Don't attack? If I don't attack, why did I kill 200 civilians and 500 soldiers in Shucheng? ”

"If it was really General Sun's instructions, General Cheng would only bring 500 soldiers to attack the city? If Major General Sun really made up his mind to slaughter the city, Shucheng would have been left with no grass now! ”

After several rounds of strong arguments, the Lu family was refuted by Zhou Yu and looked at each other and was speechless. Zhou Yu waved to Lu Kang at the right time: "As Fang Cai said, early yesterday morning, Zhou went to Luyang with General Sun Shao. At noon, the message was delivered by his men, and the two of us rushed back immediately, but the tragedy could not be avoided...... In troubled times, it is difficult for the people to live in peace, which is a common disaster for all people in the world. Sun Wentai, the father of General Sun Shao, Wucheng Hou, first beheaded the Yellow Turban, and then quelled the rebellion of Dong thieves, loyal to the Han family, and only wished that the world would be clear, but was plotted by traitors and died in ambush. General Sun Shao lost his father, his family was in the middle of the road, and he was also a victim of this troubled era. Although he temporarily lives under Yuan Shu's tent, what he cares about is the safety of the people. It's just that the military order is like a mountain, and General Sun Shao has no other troubles, so he has to fight Lujiang. Now Lu Taishou led people to rush out of the city and die for Shucheng, which can fulfill your name of loyalty, but how should the people deal with themselves? ”

The thunder rumbled, but there was no sound in the hall, and the people outside the courtyard were drenched in heavy rain, trembling, but they couldn't help but whisper: "The words are true, but if others take over Shucheng, Lu Taishou will not be able to be too shou......"

When others heard this, they couldn't help but echo it. Zhou Yu was speechless for a while, the reason can be explained, but the people's disagreement is not an overnight effort, he didn't think about how to deal with it, he heard Lu Kang say in a low voice: "Gongjin, you come with me." ”

In the inner room of the Lu Mansion, Lu Kang took out a jar of sake, poured a pottery bowl on the table, and then motioned to Zhou Yu: "Sit down." ”

Zhou Yu threw his hand, knelt on the soft seat in front of the desk, and looked at the pottery bowl in a daze. Lu Kang raised his eyebrows and asked, "What?" Afraid of toxicity? Or is Luoyang's Du Kang wine used to drinking, and he dislikes the bowl of thin wine in his hometown? ”

Zhou Yu didn't say a word, picked up three pottery bowls, and drank them all: "Although Du Kang wine is wonderful, it is not the taste of hometown......

Lu Kang stroked his beard and smiled, but his expression became more and more bitter: "Gong Jin, you are so dignified and don't do the order of Juchao County, why do you want to come to this troubled water......

"If you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will help the world. Shucheng was in trouble, and Gongjin didn't dare to stay out of it. ”

Lu Kang picked up the wine jar and raised his head to drink: "Gong Jin, you tell me the truth, whether the siege of the city yesterday was an order from Sun Bofu's kid!" ”

Zhou Yu knelt up straight, pointed to the sky and swore to the sky: "Zhou swears in the name of the Zhou family, yesterday's incident is not the meaning of Bo Fu!" Please Lu Taishou find out, don't be impulsive, make your relatives and enemies happy! ”

"Relatives are bitter, enemies are fast? I, 800 soldiers and civilians in Lujiang, died in vain like this? Even if it wasn't for Sun Bofu's instructions, Cheng Demou wouldn't be able to escape the involvement! If Sun Bofu slashes Cheng De, the old man will no longer pursue him, how about it? ”

Zhou Yu sighed with a smile and replied, "This matter is absolutely impossible. General Cheng is like an uncle to Bo Fu. Lu Taishou cherishes his nephew, and Bo Fu is not a ruthless person. General Cheng went to war without authorization, and he was guilty, and Bo Fu would definitely deal with it in accordance with military regulations, and return Lu Tai to justice. ”

Listening to Zhou Yu's words, Lu Kang chuckled twice, picked up the wine jar and drank it heavily. Seeing that the old man was so sad, Zhou Yu didn't feel good in his heart: "Lu Taishou, how much wine hurts the body......"

Lu Kang put down the wine jar and wiped his mouth at Zhou Yu: "Gong Jin, do you really know Sun Bofu?" ”

"We've been together since we were kids, so we naturally know each other very well."

"People change...... Heroes in troubled times are everywhere, and if he wants to get a place, he will only plan more for himself. Even if he doesn't kill innocents indiscriminately today, how can you guarantee that he will do the same in the future? ”

Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment, and arched his hand: "I know his character, although he is brave and fighting, he is by no means indiscriminately killing innocent people." ”

Lu Kang sat down and said with a smile: "What a childlike joke, how old are you?" Life is long for decades, and only when the old man is his age can he say that it will never change again......"

"No matter three or five years, thirty years or fifty years, I will be with him, he will not change, and neither will I."

Zhou Yu has a gentle temperament, a gentleman is like jade, and he has always spoken unhurriedly and loudly, but today's words are extremely sonorous. On the smell of alcohol, Lu Kang leaned on the desk, not knowing whether to cry or laugh, and after a long time, he said: "You go, I will order to go down, so as not to make it difficult for you to ......"

This time when he entered the city, Zhou Yu had prepared for the worst, even if he died, he didn't want the people of Shucheng to suffer, he thought that Lu Kang would be very difficult to persuade, but he didn't expect him to let himself go so easily, Zhou Yu hesitated: "Lord Lu let Zhou go like this?" ”

Lu Kang had a helpless smile on his cheeks: "If you don't leave, your Sun Bofu will slaughter me all over the city......"

The thunder shook, the rain poured down, and the babbling raindrops were like threads, dripping from the cornices. Under the rain curtain of the huge canopy, a hundred soldiers defending the city dutifully performed their duties, and the arrows in their hands were aimed at the lonely figure under the city tower. Although they were separated by a hundred zhang, they were still killed by that person's courage, and the soldiers defending the city remembered Sun Ce's words when Zhou Yu entered the city, only to feel that his throat was tight, and his hand holding the bow couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Sun Ce still stood in place, unmoving, a pair of starry eyes glaring at the city, even if the rain dripped down the thick eyelashes into a line, he didn't blink.

As the sky darkened, Sun Ce's face became more and more pale, and the worst outcome was not hovering in his mind, and every moment of waiting was torment.

The last ray of light was swallowed up by the darkness, and the rain on the city was no longer real, Sun Ce was in despair, and his big hand clenched the silver spear on his side, but there was a faint sound of horses' hooves in the city gate.

Sun Ce's body was shocked, and he stared intently at the city gate, only to see a loud bang, the rope bridge slowly fell, and a dusty figure flashed behind the rain curtain.

Sun Ce breathed a sigh of relief, eased his expression, and waited for Zhou Yu to come.

Seeing Sun Ce's embarrassed appearance, Zhou Yu couldn't help but be disgusted: "It's raining so hard, why don't you go back?" Stupidly poked here, and I don't know how to hide? ”

Sun Ce dragged Zhou Yu's sleeve, wiped the rain on his face, and said with a smile: "You are looking for someone to evaluate the theory, are you stupid to enter the city alone, or are you stupid to guard outside the city?" ”

Before Zhou Yu could reply, he suddenly saw Han Dang running quickly from the barracks, panting and saying to the two: "Young General, Miss Da Qiao is here with Miss Xiao Qiao, I think I am worried about the safety of the young general......

Sun Ce was naturally overjoyed: "Really? ”

"But......" Han Dang stopped talking, his face was embarrassed, as if there was something unspeakable.

Zhou Yu noticed Han Dang's abnormality and hurriedly said, "What's wrong?" Could it be that General Cheng ...... him?"

"General Cheng, he couldn't bear the humiliation of whipping, and he hit himself against the wall in prison, and the Tianling cover was about to shatter......"

"What?" When Sun Ce heard this, he didn't care about anything else, and hurried to the barracks.
