Chapter 03: The Lu Family

Standing at the bow of the boat, looking at the vast river, rolling and flowing, a poem by the heroes of the late Han Dynasty flashed in his mind:

'Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water, Waves Sweeping Away Heroes, Success or Failure Turn Empty, the Country is still there, and the sunset is red ...... several times'

'White-haired fishermen on the river, accustomed to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze, a pot of turbid wine happy to meet, how many things in ancient and modern times, are all laughing and talking......

What a beautiful and sad poem! At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the heroes competed for the deer, presumably, Cao Cao at that time was also full of emotion, watching the people displaced by the military disaster, and the family was ruined, who could be indifferent?

Soon, the boat crossed the watershed, went to the middle of the river, and went east along the rolling river, where Jiangdong was the place where he wanted to live in the future, recalling the days when he lived in the north of the Yangtze River and Xiaxiang County, Xiang Zhuang was a little reluctant in his heart, but a stronger desire to tell himself that Jiangdong, a place with profound historical and cultural heritage, is also a place that he yearns for.

The ship was still moving slowly, looking at the Wujiang River that was gradually moving away, Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but sigh lightly, this is the place where Xiang Yu killed himself in history, it was the last battle in which he was defeated and annihilated the Chu State, and his arrival, I don't know if I can save everything?

Thinking of all this, Xiang Zhuang's originally good mood became heavy again, he couldn't help but look at Xiang Yu on the side, he was also staring at the rolling river, I don't know what he was thinking in his heart, at this time, Ji Bu sighed softly beside him: "It's a pity that we can only leave you!" ”

Xiang Yu couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "Don't worry, brother, I, Xiang Yu, will kill one day sooner or later!" ”

。。。。。。

The ship is on the shore of Moling in Yanjun, from here to the south, go Yangxian, soon, you can arrive at Wu County, Huiji County, where the future residence of the Xiang family is, and at this time, after three days of marching, the team arrived at Zhenze, Zhenze is the Taihu Lake of the later generations, after Zhenze, it is not far from home.

The scenery along the way, innumerable beauty, Xiang Zhuang feels, he gradually fell in love with this place, although it is known as a water town, but there are not many roads that can be walked, and this kind of ink and wash Jiangnan charm makes people feel like they are in the world, here away from the complexity of the Central Plains, away from the chaos of the Central Plains, makes people feel down-to-earth.

After Yangxian, the team marched from the south of Zhenze, the people along the way here are very enthusiastic, there are countless houses of varying heights, and some houses are built next to the wide riverbank, the scenery is very beautiful, Xiang Zhuang rode on a horse, looked left and right, looked at the surrounding scenery, at this time, a person came from a distance, he was wearing a cyan tights, holding a three-foot copper sword, and soon came to the front, Xiang Zhuang saw the comer, and couldn't help shouting: "Xiang You!" ”

Xiang You nodded to Xiang Zhuang, went straight to Xiang Liang, came to Xiang Liang's side, and arched his hand: "Second uncle, my father is already waiting in Wucheng Pavilion, let me come to greet you first." ”

Xiang Liang couldn't help but look up and laugh, this younger brother, he hadn't seen him for a long time, at this moment he finally came to Huiji, came to the future home of the Xiang family, Xiang Liang was happy in his heart, pointed to the front and smiled: "Go, you lead the way again." ”

"Yes, nephew obeys." Xiang You arched his hand, turned the horse's head, and marched in the front, Xiang Zhuang also took the opportunity to lean over, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a year, you have grown taller." ”

"Brother, you are the same, you are becoming more and more powerful." Xiang You smiled back, and on the side, Xiang Yu couldn't help laughing: "You two are really not ashamed, boast and sing to yourself." ”

Everyone also laughed for a while, and at this time, Ji Bu pointed forward and said excitedly: "Look, isn't that Miss Feng?" ”

was yelled at by Ji Bu, everyone focused their attention on the front, sure enough, a hundred steps away, Cao Feng had already ridden the horse, and soon, she came to the front, her eyes were slightly red, tears were in her eyes, she was crumbling, she came to Xiang Zhuang, and said excitedly: "Brother Xiang Zhuang, you are finally back!" ”

Cao Feng's sudden appearance surprised everyone, how could she be in Huiji?

As if seeing through everyone's thoughts, Cao Feng wiped the sweat on his forehead, and quietly wiped a handful of tears that were about to fall, and then smiled: "Daddy and I moved here last year, don't you know?" ”

Everyone shook their heads desperately, Cao Feng disdained Jiao // snorted, rode a horse to Xiang Liang, learned the posture of the men to salute, and said in a coquettish voice: "Uncle Xiang, there is Wucheng Pavilion not far ahead, Daddy, they are waiting for you." ”

Xiang Liang nodded, and walked forward again, Cao Feng had a lot of things to say to Xiang Zhuang, but there were so many people here, Cao Feng still couldn't bear to swallow back the words that were about to come to his mouth, and after about half a pillar of incense, finally, next to a curved river in front, there was a pavilion, the pavilion stood next to the bank of Zhenze, Xiang Bo, Cao Wujiao, Xiang It and others were waiting anxiously next to the pavilion.

Soon, they saw Xiang Liang and the others who were walking slowly, they led the horses and walked quickly to meet them, Xiang Bo and Cao Wuyi had already smiled and said, "Second brother (Brother Xiang), we are waiting here." ”

Xiang Liang also bowed his hand in return, everyone looked at each other and smiled, Xiang Liang jumped off the horse, patted Xiang Bo on the shoulder, and comforted: "During this time, I have worked hard for you." ”

"Brother doesn't have to say that." Xiang Bo shook his hand and smiled, at this time, everyone walked together in the direction of Wucheng Pavilion, Xiang Bo pondered for a while, and said in a low voice: "I have almost done the things that my brother explained when he parted, just wait for my brother to come back and preside over the overall situation." ”

After hearing this, Xiang Liang looked up at Xiang Bo and said with a smile: "Tell me, what have you prepared?" ”

Xiang Bo nodded and smiled: "I am in Wu County, I have purchased two big mansions, our current identity is the Huiji Lu family, from today onwards, our surname will become the surname Lu, brother, your name is Lu Liang, my name is Lu Bo, and the rest of the people are the same, and, from today on, Brother Cao's identity is the head of the Lu family, and he will be responsible for the affairs of the Lu family." ”

Xiang Liang nodded slightly, he couldn't help but look at Cao Wuji on the side, Cao Wuyi coughed dryly and smiled: "We are old friends, and we are very willing to serve Lu Gong." ”

Hearing him call himself Lu Gong, Xiang Liang couldn't help laughing heartily, at this time, Xiang Bo said: "In addition, I purchased a hundred hectares of fertile land in the north of the city, and merged two craftsmen in the city. ”

Xiang Liang was very satisfied with Xiang Bo's arrangement, he patted Xiang Bo's shoulder and Cao Wuyi's shoulder, nodded with satisfaction, and the three of them walked a distance, Xiang Liang couldn't help but sigh: "In a few days, I think it is necessary to visit the county guard of Huiji County." ”

"This Brother Xiang, don't worry, Yin Tong is my old friend, and I will arrange for you to meet." Cao Wuyi said.

。。。。。。

Staying in Wucheng Pavilion for a while, everyone set off to rush back to Wu County, at this time, it was already sunset, the city gate was about to close, Xiang Yu and others guarded the carriage, and returned to Lu Mansion first under the guidance of Xiang You, while Xiang Liang, Xiang Bo, Cao Wuyi and others were slowly marching behind.

For the relocation meeting, Xiang Liang still has a lot of things to arrange, the city gate has been closed, Xiang Liang has to speed up the horse, to the city, when everyone through the city gate, wandering in the street, not far from the city tower, has sounded three drums, the city gate in the "squeak" friction sound, slowly closed.

Lu Mansion is located in the south of Wu County, Huiji County, adjacent to Shihu, the streets extend in all directions, there are waterways to support boats, not far away, a curved small bridge, connecting the east and west streets, there will be military service patrols nearby every day, but the soldiers of the land of Wu Hui did not inherit the dress of the Qin army, they still retain the old dress of the state of Chu and the state of Wu, gray-green military robes, brown leather armor, so that the soldiers of the land of Wu will have a different feeling.

Moreover, the mountains and rivers here are beautiful, from the pavilion in the courtyard of the Lu Mansion, looking into the distance, you can clearly see the stone lake and the small island in the stone lake, Xiang Liang likes it very much, at this time everyone has returned to the house, the people who guard the door of the house have been replaced by new people, Xiang Liang does not know any of them, and, as far as Xiang Liang knows, many dead soldiers who have been raised by themselves, on the way to move home, encountered the Qin army and bandits blocking the road, suffered heavy casualties, and there is not much left.

At this time, the subordinates in the courtyard of the Lu Mansion were busy, at the entrance of each courtyard, there were warriors with bronze swords in their hands, they were the new dead soldiers of the Xiang family, although the number was not much, but they were all elites, and the subordinates of the Lu Mansion were all under the management of Xiang it at this time, these subordinates were all from the slave market in Wu County, and their average age was about thirty years old, and they were busy at this time, preparing for Xiang Liang's reception banquet.

The house was very quiet, Xiang Liang had just walked into the house, Xiang Yu and others, who were originally sitting and chatting, immediately got up and saluted Xiang Liang, Xiang Liang was accompanied by Xiang Bo and Cao Wujiao, and slowly walked to the main seat and sat down, with Xiang Bo on one side and Cao Wuji on the opposite side.

The people were busy delivering tea, but Cao Feng was beside Xiang Zhuang, patted him gently, made a naughty gesture, and motioned Xiang Zhuang to go out to talk about something, before Xiang Zhuang could react, Cao Feng had already left first, looking at Cao Feng's back, Xiang Zhuang had a feeling of returning to the past, and after shaking his head helplessly, Xiang Zhuang followed Cao Feng.

The room was very quiet, everyone was drinking tea, I don't know how long it took, Cao Wuji sighed lightly and asked, "Brother Liang, what are you going to do next?" ”

Xiang Liang pondered for a while, turned his head and stared at Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu comprehended, and immediately walked outside the house, stopped at the door, holding a long sword in his hand, and did not allow anyone to approach, at this time, Xiang Liang also sighed, and said slowly: "This was the hometown of Chu State, Chu is simple and simple, and people think about Chu, as long as we can stand in Huiji, win people's hearts, and wait for the opportunity to move, the big thing can be decided."

Xiang Bo just wanted to ask, but Xiang Liang raised his hand to interrupt Xiang Bo, and continued: "In my opinion, the situation in the world will be reversed sooner or later, and the Qin State will not be able to survive for a long time. ”

After a short silence, Xiang Bo and Cao Wuyi both nodded silently and said approvingly: "Brother Yuanzhi, I admire it, and now, I can only take one step at a time......"
