Chapter 292: Keeping His Promise and Adopting Fu Jian

The saying that circulated in later generations, "Men and women match, don't get tired of work", is indeed a wise saying, with Rong'er by Zhao Shu's side, the trivial troubles after the war are not very disgusting to do now. Since Zhao Shu has the heart to fight for power, he is with Guan Feng, his wife who is loyal to Liu Bei, he has a lot of inconveniences, and he is worried about babbling when he sleeps. And Rong'er being together made Zhao Shu more relaxed, even if she wanted to use Zhao Shu to subvert Cao Wei, Zhao Shu was not using her to drag Cao Pi. If it weren't for her troubles in the north, when Shu Han and Eastern Wu were fighting, how could Cao Pi give up the great opportunity to fight for the world?

And the news that Rong'er brought to Zhao Shu, although he was quite sorry for Zhang Liao's death, but the situation in Runan was stable, the Cao family had to take charge of the army, and Lu Xun's vision could naturally see that the two weak and one strong, only the combination of Shu and Wu could be preserved, and Zhao Shu's Jingzhou would not be invaded again.

After two days, the person sent to pick up Fu Jian also came back, although Zhao Shu's face remained unchanged, but he was already past the year of standing, and he survived in this intrigue all day long, it was inevitable that he was a little tired and tired, and when he lived in Guo Huai's house, he often teased his young son. Now that he has picked up a son for nothing, and according to Zhao Shu's understanding, he is still a talent that can be created, how can he not be happy?

Fu Jian was only about seven or eight years old, but he looked indifferent, and his eyes were quite strange when he looked at Zhao Shu. Zhao Shu only said that he lost his relatives at a young age, so he was naturally weird, and he didn't think it was strange, so he stepped forward to personally say that he wanted to accept him as a righteous son. Rong'er gently tugged me on the side, then stepped forward and said with a smile: "Whose little brother is this, he looks so well-behaved, let my sister take a closer look." As he spoke, he reached out to pull Fu Jian.

Zhao Shuzheng was surprised why Rong'er treated Fu Jian so warmly, so he saw her flip her hand, twist Fu Jian's weak arm behind her, and from her sleeve, she searched out a short knife, and asked in a deep voice: "Child, who instructed you to assassinate?" This sudden change made Zhao Shu's head "buzz", and before he could react, he heard Fu Jian stubbornly and viciously say: "I came to avenge my father, why do I need the command of others?" ”

"Don't say it?" Rong'er sneered, shook the short knife in front of him, and threatened: "If you don't say it, I'll make a few cuts on your face, and see if you hurt or not?" Fu Jian snorted heavily, and said without changing his face: "I'm not afraid of death, but I'm still afraid of pain?" Rong'er didn't want Fu Jian to be so bold at such a young age, so she turned her eyes to look at Zhao Shu and said with a smile: "This kid is quite stubborn." ”

Zhao Shu waved her hand to get her back, stared at Fu Jian, and asked, "I am indeed responsible for Ling Zun's death, but if I say that I avenge my father, it is too much." You're so young, you can't tell the right from wrong, and you'll grow up later......"

"When I'm older, I'll be able to take your head." Fu Jian said loudly: "Although I am young, I am not a stupid person. In order to make meritorious deeds and save Your Majesty from danger, you let your father die on Your Majesty's behalf. It is okay for a minister to be loyal to the king, but you have your father's life in exchange for your own high-ranking officials, but it is inevitably despised, I am a son of man, so I naturally want to seek revenge on you. ”

"Who taught you that?" Zhao Shu didn't believe that this seven or eight-year-old child could think so far-reaching, turned his eyes to look at the person escorting behind him, and asked, "Who did you meet on the way?" The general saw Fu Jian's assassination, but feared being implicated, and hurriedly replied: "I met Lord Deng Zhi on the way to Jingzhou, and Lord Deng was very fond of this child and stayed overnight. ”

This is not surprising, what Fu Jian said and did must have been provoked by Deng Zhi, and even such a child became his tool, which is really despicable and shameless. Zhao Shu looked at Fu Jian carefully, he had such courage at a young age, it was indeed extraordinary, but he said: "You came to kill me, was it given by Deng Zhi?" He snorted and said, "How could Lord Deng let me kill you, just praising my father's loyalty and grievances." Zhao Shu nodded, how could Deng Zhi make it clear to him that it was nothing more than a side knock, how could Fu Jian tell the truth from the fake when he was young?

Zhao Shu sighed and stepped forward and said, "You want to kill me to avenge my father, which means that Ling Zun was forced to death by me, right?" Fu Jian nodded, and Zhao Shu smiled lightly: "In this case, if you kill me, won't you have a reputation for loyalty?" Zhao Shu paused for a moment, saw that he was puzzled, and said: "If I force Ling Zun to die on His Majesty's behalf, wouldn't I regard his loyal and righteous behavior as being forced by me, not willingly, so what loyalty and righteousness can there be?" Zhao Shu stretched out his hand to caress his head, and said softly: "At that time, Your Majesty was trapped in Jiangxia by the army of Eastern Wu, and the situation was in crisis. Ling Zun went voluntarily, his loyalty was commendable, and everyone admired the army, but now you say that he was forced by me, and Ling Zun is under the Nine Springs, what should you think in your heart? ”

After Fu Jian heard this, he wanted to argue, but he didn't know how to say it, so he just moved his lips and didn't speak. Zhao Shu said again: "I do bear heavy responsibility for Ling Zun's death, but as you just said, the death of the minister and the king is well deserved." Those who are sons of men should not dishonor the name of the emperor, but you are tarnishing the good name of loyalty and righteousness, although you are young and deceived by others, you should not be. ”

Fu Jian looked ashamed on his face, and muttered: "I, I ......" but there was no reason for "me" to come. Zhao Shu was afraid that he would be too embarrassed, so he said: "I am ordered to respect and entrust you to cultivate you into a talent, and you will live in my mansion in the future." Of course, if you still can't solve this knot, I will make another arrangement for you. It's been a long journey, so go down and rest now. So saying, he asked the general to lead him down.

After Fu Jian left, Rong'er saw that Zhao Shu looked unhappy, so she stepped forward and shook the short knife, and said with a smile: "I saved your life again, how can you thank me?" Zhao Shu smiled bitterly: "What do you want?" But he was strange and asked, "How do you know that he is going to be against me?" Rong'er smiled and said: "What he did, I don't know how many times I did to Cao Cao in my early years, can you hide it from my eyes?" ”

Zhao Shu forgot about this, she was originally the ancestor who did this, what did Fu Jian have? It's just that if Fu Jianruo really can't untie the knot all the time, it will not be good for Zhao Shu, but it will also be very bad for himself. Deng Zhi is a bastard, Zhao Shu didn't recruit him, but came to harm Zhao Shu, it seems that he has to find a way to clean him up.

A small turmoil passed, Fu Jian still agreed to stay in Zhao Shu's mansion, but he still had a cold attitude towards Zhao Shu, I don't know if he really understood Zhao Shu's words, or waited for the opportunity to continue to take revenge. In this way, Zhao Shu couldn't educate him in person, so he had to let Tianyi and Xiao Ben teach him martial arts, and Yi taught him literature. Zhao Shu was afraid that he would be alone without a companion, so he invited Guo Tong, the son of Guo Huai, and Ma Bing, the son of Ma Liang, to learn literature and martial arts together, which can be regarded as benevolent and righteous, worthy of the dead Fu Tong.

Time passed slowly, and Guo Huai and his entourage finally successfully returned. On that day, Zhao Shuzheng and Rong'er were chatting in the house, but they heard that the general said that Huan Yi had sent someone to ask for an urgent meeting. Li Wei's injuries are gradually healing, and the two of them take turns to inspect the city defenses, and now the armor is not prosperous, why is it urgent? waited for someone to enter, but it was to report Guo Huai's return to Jing and escort Guan Feng to come together. Only then did Zhao Shu understand Huan Yi's good intentions, he was afraid that Guan Feng and Rong'er would meet and be unhappy.

Zhao Shu sent someone to leave, turned his head to look at Rong'er next to him, and didn't know how to speak. Rong'er smiled and said, "Since Sister Feng has come back, then I should go." Zhao Shu stretched out his hand to pull her, and then asked, "Guan Junhou really wasn't killed by you?" Rong'er nodded and said, "You still don't believe me?" When Brother Gao and I caught up with Guan Yu that day, he was already seriously injured, and with only his last breath, I just borrowed his head to assassinate Cao Cao. If you want to say that the culprit is not me. ”

As long as it was indeed not killed by Rong'er, Zhao Shu had an explanation for Guan Feng, and said at the moment: "How about you go to live in Boji Mansion for a day, and then come and pick you up after I explain it to her?" Rong'er nodded and agreed, and went to Guo Huai's mansion with the general, and Zhao Shu also cleaned up a little, and went to the front door to greet Guo Huai and Guan Feng.

Not long after, I saw Guo Huai and Huan Yi chatting while walking slowly, and a carriage behind them must be Guan Feng. Zhao Shu hurriedly stepped forward, hugged his fists and said, "There is Brother Lao Xian." He nodded to Huan Yi again, which was regarded as a thank you. Guo Huai also hurriedly dismounted and saluted, saying: "It's just a trivial matter, why worry about it?" He lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty has settled in the White Emperor City and will no longer travel east. ”

Zhao Shu nodded, and drove to the back car, Guan Feng and Zhao Shu had not seen each other for several months, as the saying goes, "a little don't win a newlywed", although there is Rong'er by the side, there are still worries in my heart. Waiting for the curtain to open, Guan Feng bowed out, but Zhao Shu was taken aback, she actually held a baby in her arms.

Guan Feng saw Zhao Shu stunned, and smiled: "This is a child I adopted, don't you like it?" Zhao Shu and her have been married for a year, and they are not pregnant yet, but they have only been pregnant for a year, so they are busy looking for an adopted son for Zhao Shu, this is not to make it clear that everyone will say that I am "incompetent". Zhao Shu couldn't bear to touch her heart, and said with a wry smile: "I like it, I like it." Then he stepped forward and whispered in her ear, "If you want a child, I'll work harder." Guan Feng immediately blushed to the root of his ears and hurriedly walked in. Zhao Shu and Guo Huai, Huan Yi then entered the door, just when it was almost noon, he ordered someone to prepare wine and food to wash the dust for Guo Huai. Everyone in the city, along with Yi, Zhao Lei and others, all sat down and dispersed.

Zhao Shu wanted to talk to Guan Feng because of Rong'er's matter, so he didn't dare to get drunk, and only after everyone dispersed did he come to the backyard. Guan Feng also used his own meal, teasing the children in the room, and when he saw Zhao Shu coming recently, he said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a long time, but you have grown a lot, and the room is so neatly tied." ”

Zhao Shu's mansion has always been only guarded by family generals, and there are few maids, but there are a few people around Guan Feng. It was Guan Feng who saw that Zhao Shu's room was clean, and it was actually attributed to Zhao Shu's head, Zhao Shu couldn't say anything about Rong'er at once, so he had to nod and said, "Don't be three days, you should be impressed." So saying, he went up and examined the baby. He was not yet a year old, and he was indeed cute, so he couldn't help but reach out and tap on his pink little face and ask, "Where did you adopt this child?" Who are the parents? ”

Guan Feng sat down with the child in his arms, motioned for Zhao Shu to sit aside, and then said, "I was about to tell you about this, he is the child of Brother Guan Suo and Third Sister Bao." "That is the baby that Zhao Shu saw in front of Guan Suoling that day, but how did it get into Guan Feng's hands? Guan Feng knew that Zhao Shu was puzzled, and said, "After Brother Guan died, Third Sister Bao has been living in seclusion near White Emperor City. I didn't want this son to be seriously ill, and Bao Sanjie couldn't find medical treatment, so she had to come to me to discuss a solution. It just so happened that Ye Feng was by his side, saving this little life, and after he recovered from his illness, Bao Sanjie left a book and left, saying that she had something important to do, and it was inconvenient to carry a child, hoping that I could read the blood of the surname Guan and raise her on her behalf. ”

"What can she do, not even a child?" Zhao Shuzhen wanted to add that the people of your Guan family have a lot of things, but he finally held back, clumsily hugged the baby over, and asked, "What's his name?" ”

"Guan Tong." Guan Feng said again: "I think although the eldest brother has been married for many years, he has not had an heir, and the younger brother has not yet married. If she really doesn't come again, she might as well pass it on to the eldest brother to inherit the incense, but the eldest brother hates Guan Suo deeply and is afraid that he is unwilling. Discuss with you how to persuade the eldest brother. ”

The relationship between Zhao Shu and Guan Ping broke down and ossified many years ago, and after the Guan family again, what more mouth can Zhao Shu have? Looking down at this lovely baby, it was really pitiful to lose his father and mother at such a young age, thinking of Guan Suo's death, Zhao Shu couldn't help asking: "Didn't you suspect that the eldest brother was unfavorable to Guan Suo?" ”

Guan Feng heard Zhao Shu mention this matter, shook his head slightly, and said: "I think carefully, although the eldest brother is dissatisfied with Guan Suo, he always has the same surname, and he will definitely not act like this." I spent time with Sister Bao, and I always felt that there was still an inside story, but she never said it, and abandoned her son and left, I was afraid that it was mostly related to Guan Suo's death. ”

And the inside story? According to Zhao Shu's meaning, Guan Suo repeatedly violated military discipline and was killed by Chen, there is nothing wrong with it, isn't everyone worry-free, why think too much? Guan Ping can't be persuaded by him, so it's better to pass it on to Guan Xing. Zhao Shu then said: "Anyway, it's all a family, it's better to pass it on to An Guo, he is very obedient to what you and I say, and it's more convenient." ”

Guan Feng said: "Anguo has not yet married, how can it be better than a stepson, and it is not that the eldest brother has not given birth for many years." Speaking of Guan Xing, the child who asked Zhao Shu for the sword back then had grown up, and couldn't help but say: "Anguo is not small, but there is someone you like?" After Dongwu sent someone to negotiate peace, let this sister-in-law have to handle it for him. ”

Guan Feng smiled and said, "You still care about him?" He told me before, but he can't tell you first, and when he comes back this time, he will do it for him with his eldest brother. ”

Zhao Shu nodded, taking advantage of Guan Feng's good mood, coughed lightly, and said, "I have one more thing to discuss with you." ”
