Zixuan in the car kept looking out, as if he was thinking about something, and then Kong Ming spoke, "Zixuan, you have helped you many times, and Liang really can't repay him." ”

"Sir, I'm serious, I just want to make a friend of Sir." Kong Ming is also a hero in the world, he will become a great weapon one day, and it is worth the trip to make such a friend.

The coachman replied, "Sir, Yanziji has arrived." ”

"Sir, I have a letter for you." After saying that, Zixuan and Kong Ming got out of the car, and he had to say goodbye to Jun Qianli in the end, he had to go, and he was already very happy to get along these days, and it was enough.

"Sir, then I won't send it, presumably Mr. will be transferred." After saying that, Zixuan got into the car again, accidentally dropped the sachet and was picked up by Kong Ming, he wanted to return it to Zixuan, but the car had already left, and after a closer look, there was a plum blossom embroidered on it, which bloomed so beautifully, and when I smelled it carefully, the fragrance was strong and refreshing.

Looking at Zixuan's departing figure, Kong Ming came back to his senses for a long time, set off to quickly arrive at the riverside, make peace with Zhao Yun, and go back to deploy everything, on the boat, Kong Ming remembered Zixuan's letter to him, opened it and looked at it.

--If you want to enter Sichuan in the west, I will return to Wu in the east. You are willing to be Hanchen, and I am Wu general. The king attacked and defended, and the brothers were injured. It's good to see each other in a thousand ways, but it's not on the battlefield. --

Zixuan has already indicated that Kong Ming is a close friend and a confidant, but he still doesn't trust anyone in his heart, and Kong Ming is not, it's just that the two serve different lords, I'm afraid it will be difficult to chat and talk together again, this is the last time they will meet, and they will definitely meet on the battlefield in the future, unless one person betrays the master, he will be the enemy to death.

Back in the camp, he played the piano as usual, and told the sergeant to put the carriage at the door, while on the other side, LΓΌ Meng went back to tell the Dadu Governor, "Dadu Governor, Zhuge Liang disappeared without a trace after he got off the altar, and when the last general chased him to the Yanziji River, he had been picked up by a clipper.

The person who picked him up was Zhao Yun, who had tracked it down, and the clipper had been waiting by the river for three days. ”

Zhou Yu gritted his teeth and slammed the sword in his hand on the ground, "Kong Ming expects me to do everything first, he doesn't die, I am restless day and night." ”

Lu Meng told Zhou Yu everything he saw, and did not hide it, "Governor, I saw a person on the road. ”

Zhou Yu asked, "Who?" ”

"Zixuan."

Hearing this answer, Zhou Yu didn't respond much, "I know, you go down!" ”

"No."

Zhou Yu had some suspicions in his heart, could it be that Zixuan let Zhuge Liang go, but he didn't know the reason, and he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.

At night, when Zhou Yu passed by Zixuan's tent, he saw a carriage and immediately understood.

Walked to Zixuan's tent, pulled out his sword, a sword, the cold light shone, against Zixuan's throat, and asked.

"Yes." Zixuan replied calmly.

This is not the first time that Zhou Yu has threatened Zixuan with a sword, and he is not afraid.

"Why are you doing that? Why? He roared angrily, hating Zixuan to the bone at this moment.

Zixuan explained, "Zhuge Liang can't be killed. "For some reason, he couldn't let him die here, and he wanted to do everything in his power to protect him from the slightest damage.

"Why can't you kill me?" Zixuan couldn't find a reason for a while, and he didn't know why he did it, so he found the most difficult reason to believe.

"Because we are allies, we want to fight together against the national thief Cao Cao."

"Zhuge Liang is my great enemy of Eastern Wu, how dare you do this? Have you forgotten what you said when you first came to Koto? "When Zixuan came to Jiangdong to make them believe, he said to Sun Quan -- Zixuan must do his best, be loyal to Eastern Wu, and be loyal to the country--

"Governor, I haven't forgotten, I'm fulfilling my promise" Zhou Yu asked, "Are you doing your loyalty for Eastern Wu?" Something was wrong, Zixuan corrected, "Metropolitan Governor, we are all Han ministers, we should be loyal to the Han family, Cao Cao is a national thief, we must even Liu Kang Cao." ”

Zhou Yu understood that Zixuan and them were not all the way, "So that's the case, cough cough, you go." "Zixuan still cares about Zhou Yu very much in public and private," said the Metropolitan Governor. ”

Zhou Yu pushed Zixuan away and said, "Let's go, cough cough, I don't want to see you." Zixuan changed his usual seriousness and asked gently, "Gong Jin, is your illness very serious, I'll help you take a look."

"You don't have to worry about my business."

Zixuan was a little anxious, "How can I ignore you being my eldest brother." ”

Zhou Yu sneered: "You still treat me as a big brother, I thought you had forgotten!" Let's go, it's almost a war. ”

"Nope."

"This is a military order, a military order is like a mountain!" As soon as this remark comes out, it cannot be refuted, and there is no room for maneuver.

Seeing that Zhou Yu pressed himself with a military order, Zixuan had no choice but to agree, "Big brother, take care of yourself." ”

"I'm waiting for you to come back in Jiankang." Zixuan left, without a single soldier to send him, he went back alone, so it seems that Sun Quan is also thinking about the Ninety-Five, but whose world is the world has nothing to do with me, and who wants to achieve great things has nothing to do with me, I only have revenge in my heart, I just want to kill Cao Cao, I can do whatever it takes to kill him.

After the war, Soochow adopted a policy of rest and recuperation, Zixuan naturally had nothing to do, so he came to Lu Su's mansion, Lu Su had been an official for many years, but this house was too simple, and it looked like it had not been repaired for several years.

I heard that Lu Su often helps war orphans, it seems that this is really groundless, and it didn't take long for Gongfu Zixuan to see Lu Su, Lu Su had a trace of tiredness on his face, it seems that he worried a lot about the matter of Sun and Liu's two families seizing Nanjun after the war.

Zixuan said to Lu Su: "Zijing, there is something to ask for below. His tone had changed a lot, he was no longer as domineering as usual, and there was a hint of pleading, which must have been important to him.

Lu Su said sincerely, "Zixuan, if there is anything you say. ”

Zixuan opened his mouth and it was still difficult to say, pulled Zijing aside, and said in a low voice: "Zijing, I will be twenty years old tomorrow, my family died early, and there are few people in Dongwu who are good friends with me, my coming-of-age ceremony originally wanted Gongjin to help me, but now that he has not returned outside, it is still troublesome for Zijing to help me here." ”

The coming-of-age ceremony is usually prepared by the elders of his own family, but Zixuan has no elders in his family, Zixuan handed over such an important matter to Zijing, which shows how much he trusts Zijing, and Zijing also readily agreed, "Okay, I'll take time out tomorrow." ”

The next day, Zixuan got up early, before dawn, someone knocked on the door outside, who would it be early in the morning? Zixuan personally went to open the door, and the person who knocked on the door was Zhou Yu.

"Aren't you at war? Why did you come back all of a sudden? ”

Zhou Yu hurriedly covered his mouth, "Shhh, follow me." Zixuan and Zhou Yu got into the carriage, and Lu Meng drove for the two.

When they came to the mountain, they stopped, Zixuan got out of the car, very scared, because he bumped into Zhou Yu a while ago, could it be that he was looking for a deserted place to kill people and kill people? Although Zixuan said that his martial arts were strong, if Zhou Yu and Lu Meng joined forces, Zixuan would undoubtedly lose, just thinking about it, Zhou Yu also got out of the car, he put on a cloak, but the cold wind still eroded his long-sick body, and a violent cough sounded.

Zixuan didn't understand his intentions, but he still cared about Zhou Yu very much, "Metropolitan Governor, are you okay?" Zixuan asked with concern.

I haven't seen Zhou Yu for a few days, and his handsome face has become pale, his hair is also a little messy, and his eyes are a little red and swollen, it seems that he hasn't slept well recently, Zixuan stepped forward to support Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu's hands also became cold.

Lu Meng took a bag of things from the car, could it be a torture instrument, torture me to half death and then kill me, Zixuan thought, the more he thought about it, the more scared he became, now it is impossible to run, so he had to take one step at a time, Zhou Yu slowly untied the burden, but there was a hat inside, and Zixuan was even more confused.

Zhou Yu said lightly, but his tone was extremely gentle, like a long-time father watching his son grow up, "Zixuan, I haven't forgotten, today is your big day, you are an adult, you will be an adult in the future, no one will say that you are a yellow-haired boy, come, I will help you put on your top hat." ”

Lu Meng stood aside and looked at it with relief, "Yes, the Metropolitan Governor also rushed back for you, and I haven't slept well for a few nights." Zhou Yu untied Zixuan's bundled hair, and the black hair naturally hung down, Lu Meng saw it and exclaimed, "Zixuan, are you a woman?" ”

When Zhou Yu heard this, he also walked in front of Zixuan and looked at it, his brows were tightened, Zixuan was stunned at first, and then pretended to be angry the next second, "Ziming, you dare to insult me, I am indeed a man." As he spoke, he grabbed Zhou Yu's hand and put it on his throat, there was an Adam's apple on his throat, and Zhou Yu relieved his previous doubts.

Zixuan also continued to explain: "Hey, there is no way that my parents gave me such a skin, who can I complain about? Maybe I'll be the second Zhang Liang? ”

After speaking, Yang Tian laughed, temporarily alleviating the embarrassing scene, Zhou Yu continued to hold a coming-of-age ceremony for Zixuan, he coiled Zixuan's hair, and then put on a top hat for him, just like this, the simple crown ceremony was held, although it was simple but meaningful.

"Zixuan, I'm done with what I promised you, I should go." After getting into the carriage himself, Zixuan pulled Lu Meng aside and admonished, "Ziming, has the Metropolitan Governor been coughing badly lately?" ”

Lu Meng looked sad, but he was helpless, "Hey, the Metropolitan Governor always coughs, and sometimes he can stay all night." ”

Zixuan smiled, "It's okay, it's okay, from today on, you ask the medical officer to boil water for the Metropolitan Governor to drink with licorice, the licorice is sweet and flat, which is good for coughing, and you can drink it as water if you have nothing to do." When Ziming heard this, he knelt down on one knee and was very grateful to Zixuan, "Thank you for telling me." After saying that, he drove the carriage away, Zixuan looked at their departing backs and bowed deeply.

No one cares about Zixuan so much, except for Master, Senior Sister, Fufeng, and Younger Sister, Zhou Yu is the first person, Zixuan respects him very much and regards Zhou Yu as a close friend.

It was noon when he came back, Zi Jing sat in the hall and waited for him, Zi Xuan stayed in the mountains for a while as soon as he was happy, forgetting the agreement with Lu Su, seeing Zi Xuan come back with a top hat, Lu Su was also very surprised, and asked: "Zi Xuan, this is..."

"Yes, the Metropolitan Governor is doing me a favor."

"Gong Jin, are you back?"

"No, I just came back overnight to help me hold the crown ceremony, I'm sorry, Zijing, you wasted so much time in vain."

"It's fine." Zijing left, he didn't understand why Gongjin treated Zixuan so well, and he didn't ask more.

A few months later, the Great War began at Chibi, Eastern Wu finally won, Cao Cao was sent back to Xuchang, leaving Cao Ren to stay in Nanjun, and was eventually taken by Liu Bei.
