Jian An Kee

In order not to attract attention, I walked alone to the Hehuan Building that I had visited during the Shangyuan Festival.Standing at the entrance of the alley, you can clearly see three green lanterns hanging side by side on the big trees in the courtyard.Generally speaking, this signal represents safety.

Going around to the small door on the side, I reached out and knocked on the door three times, and then twice every few seconds.

The small wooden door opened silently, and the man in the black cloak held the oil lamp in one hand, and pointed behind him tremblingly with the other: "My master has been waiting for a distinguished guest for a long time."

I tightened the cloak of the same color as the man, and walked in sideways.

Inside the door is a small narrow courtyard, with many vegetables and wicker baskets piled up in a disorderly manner in the corner, the noise of guests having fun came from the main building not far away, but there was no sound in this small courtyard, even the two of us The sound of footsteps seemed to be filtered by the darkness.

The guide took me across the double courtyard, and stopped at the door of an inconspicuous side room. He lifted the curtain and said, "Guests, please come in."

I lowered my head slightly, stepped into the door, and a man was standing in the shadows facing me, only to hear him say: "It's deeper and the dew is heavier, the visitor has worked hard."

I took off the hood, revealing the long and delicate coiled hair. I straightened the jade hairpin on the bun with one hand, and reached out to pick up the only oil lamp in the house with the other.

"Young Master Zhao." I raised the oil lamp and squinted my eyes to look at Zhao Xu, the owner of Hehuan Building.

He cupped his hands and said, "Young master Zhou who visited at night in Shangyuan turned out to be Mrs. Zhou, sorry for your impoliteness." After saying that, he led me to sit at the table.

"To make a long story short, I came here today to ask for something."

"When I came down, Mr. Zhong had already ordered me to obey Madam. Madam, please tell me."

I frowned: This person's face is very strange to me, I have only seen it twice in total, and my voice is also strange, except for these two times, I have never heard it before, but I am very familiar with his eyes...

I came back to my senses and said politely to him: "Don't dare, thank you for the news I delivered last time. This time, I will still come to ask for your help."

He put his hands on his knees and nodded in greeting: "Listen."

"Young Master Zhao, have you heard of Danyang's Ge family?"

"There are quite a few officials in the Ge family, what's the matter?"

"There is a member of his family, Ge Xuan, who is skilled in martial arts, and he wants to seek convenience from me. His daughter was involved in the arson case in the General's Mansion in February, and asked me to help. I mean, you might as well sell this favor, It will be of great convenience to us in the future to adopt him for our own use."

Zhao Xu smiled: "What Ma'am said is true. It's just that there will be a war now, and the city's defenses are extremely strict. If I want to send someone to inquire about the whereabouts of the little girl, I'm afraid it will be a bit risky."

"Hey, this Lu Cui is in the general's mansion, don't you know?"

Zhao Xu pointed at the coffee table: "No, no, Madam is not aware of the fact that she is in the situation. I think the little girl is very involved and has some friendship with you. Your Excellency General is going to Jiangbei to supervise the battle. How can you let her live in the mansion?"

My heart sank when I heard this: "General Sun set off for Jiangbei tonight."

"So, this Lu Cui may not be in the mansion anymore."

Zhao Xu's deduction is very correct.A few days later, I made an excuse to deliver some food to Lu Cui, but the maid was told that she could not enter the small courtyard where she was under house arrest.If I went to check in person, although the courtyard must be able to enter, there would definitely be a lot of commotion, and Wu Guotai might be disturbed.

From this point of view, Lu Cui was probably transferred.I thought about it for a while, and sent a message to Zhao Xu according to the original agreement.

A few days later, Zhao Xu got her whereabouts.I waited for Ge Xuan to take the pulse, and wrote on the prescription he handed over: Qianyuan was imprisoned in a water prison in the outer city, and it was difficult to rescue her in a hurry.

Ge Xuan's face turned pale: "Water, water prison?"

I whispered: "Yes, she is a girl, and I am afraid that she has suffered recently. Heavenly Master, let me ask you now, how long will it take for my body to recuperate?"

"It can be cured within half a month, or two or three months at most. My daughter..."

I smiled, a really relaxed smile: "It's about time, don't worry, I will definitely rescue your daughter. That's right, I don't quite understand. What kind of magus did you use? It seems to be very accurate."

"This……"

"Is there any embarrassment?" Oh, Ge Tianshi probably hasn't understood how powerful the little bug on his wrist is biting his vein.I lowered my eyes and lightly touched the index finger and thumb of my left hand.

His face lost all color, and his whole body was trembling: "You shouldn't abuse our agreement like this!"

"When you and I made the contract, I promised to protect your life, but didn't I promise to protect your dignity?" I squinted.

He trembled angrily: "It's simply unreasonable!"

I slapped my palm on the coffee table with a "bang", "Ge Xuan, you have to adjust your position! Do you really think I can't do anything against you?"

He couldn't help kneeling down on the ground: "Yes, yes... Master Sun gave me a Taiyi Nine Palaces astrolabe, and asked me to use it as a divination. Nine times out of ten, I can be sure."

Taiyi Nine Palaces watch the astrolabe, and use human life as a sacrifice to predict the future. It is a weapon of great evil, and there is only one in the upper and lower Kyushu.After Zhou Yu passed away, I hated its unknownness and put it in the coffin with my own hands.

The blood all over his body cooled down and gradually warmed up.Sun Quan is not in Jianye, otherwise I couldn't help rushing over and grabbed his lapel and asked, "Why did the astrolabe that was buried with Zhou Yu fall into your hands?

On the seventh day after grandma passed away, my cousin sent someone to the mansion early in the morning to invite her.

Before Sun Quan left, he said to me with a stern face: "My county magistrate told me that your uncle asked him to find a job for your cousin. This time you go over and tell him by the way, when the one-year filial piety expires Now, let his son be a householder with peace of mind."

"Thank you, General, for your kindness." I bowed my head.

He helped me up: "Xu Li again, do I still need to be courteous between you and me? Don't worry, when I win this battle and take back the military power from those old stubborn people, then you don't have to fight anymore." Wronged."

"No, it's hard work, General." I hugged him and placed a light kiss on his cheek, "You will definitely come back victorious."

Recalling the scene that happened not long ago, I shook my head: he has already taken a step towards me with both kindness and power, and I am afraid that if he continues, he will be exhausted and bloody in five steps.

A group of people arrived at the border of Wu County. On the official road, a group of people and horses came across from us. Seeing that it was a funeral procession, the people on the other side got off their horses one after another to make way for them.

I said to my cousin: "The other party is so courteous, and I don't know which family it is, so go and say thank you."

Cousin said yes, tidied up his clothes and went to see him, I bowed my head and followed behind him.

The person in charge at the front of the team said loudly: "Lord Lu Yilu from Wu county pays a visit."

Is it Lu Yi?I was a little surprised.

The uncle standing at the front of the line hurried to receive the gift.Seeing me at the side, Lu Yi seemed a little surprised, he cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Your Majesty has seen Mrs. Zhou."

I returned the courtesy, "Thank you Captain Lu for your courtesy."

There were more than ten people in their team, most of them rode horses, and there was only one carriage with pink curtains, which carried about women's family members.I looked over the curtain of the carriage, and an ordinary-looking woman got out of the carriage and greeted me.

"This is my wife." Lu Yi said calmly.

This Lu Yi's wife is his original spouse.Five years later, a battle of Xiaoyaojin will make this young and promising captain win the favor of General Sun, and then enter the top ranks of the general's shogunate, while his wife will die in childbirth amidst the worries about the war.

Will he be happy to gain high-ranking officials and beautiful family members at the cost of losing his wife and children?It was the late spring of the 16th year of Jian’an, when 28-year-old Lu Yi passed me by, both colored and black “Qi” lingered above his head.I paid tribute to his back, only my cousin noticed this scene, he and I looked into the distance together, and asked: "Third sister, what are you looking at?"

As dusk approaches, the shadow of death haunts this ancient road like sorrow.I smiled slightly: "Cousin, I just figured out where you can find a job."

He realized something, and sparingly said two words: "The Lu family."

The small episode passed quickly, and everyone arrived in Shangyu two days later. According to divination and the wishes of the elders in the clan, it was imperative that the coffin be buried on July 49th.

The accompanying steward reminded without losing the opportunity: Madam should leave and return.

Sun Quan's willingness to send me back to my hometown is generally regarded as a great favor from my husband's family, and it would be impossible for other families to ask for it.I belong to the person who has stepped into the Sun's family with one foot, so I really shouldn't stay in my mother's house for too long.I am well aware of this.

I said, "Return tomorrow."

On the evening of the second day, I went to Shanyin City to rest for the night, and was received by Chunyu Shi in person.I took off my filial piety clothes, put on a green spring shirt, and said to him pleasantly: "I came here last time, and I heard that there is a Lingbi bridge in the eastern suburbs to pray for blessings. It is very efficacious. It is a pity. I wonder if I can trouble my lord to arrange to go there tonight." ?”

Stretching his neck, he said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, it's on the lower official."

In terms of etiquette, grandchildren keep filial piety for their grandparents, and they are not allowed to wear plain clothes at home. This is a limit of five months, but because I "marry" with the emperor and my status is "respected", I can replace May with five days.What's more, there are still great Confucian scholars who have proposed that married women do not need to be filial to their natal family.This etiquette rule is still in dispute and has not been settled.

Visit Lingsi Bridge at night. This bridge has a long history. It is said that it was built in the era of King Goujian of Yue.

I was afraid of arousing the suspicion of the accompanying attendants, so I just lingered for a while before leaving, and I had the right to take a walk after dinner to digest food.Although the accompanying steward had doubts, he couldn't see anything, and followed back to the city step by step.

Twelve days after the Wu army crossed the river north, before the war officially started, the wartime governor Gong Sun Yang, who was appointed by Sun Quan himself, was actually captured by the Cao army.According to this situation, I am afraid that Sun Quan will be stuck in the mud in Jiangxi, and he will not be able to get out of it for several days.

Due to the continuous war for several years, the land west of Dajiang was barren and empty, and only Wancheng remained in the south of Hefei.Cao Cao sent Zhu Guang to be the prefect of Lujiang, stationed troops in Anhui, opened rice fields, and sent people to lure local tyrants in Poyang to serve as Cao Wei's internal response.For a while, the situation between the north and the south was sticky, everyone held their breath and did not dare to be careless, and cast their eyes firmly on the river and the Huaihe River.
