His hands trembled slightly.Zhou Yu was revered both before and after his life, and the thin burial in his tomb is well known. Except for the lord in front of him who suspected that he had faked his death, no one had any motives.

Every time I said a word, my voice became colder: "General Sun, I still call you so politely. You actually dug his tomb? Why, didn't you find him lying there quietly? You Someone stole the Taiyi Nine Palaces Astrology Disk and gave it to Ge Xuan for your use, do you dare to deny it?"

"..."

I laughed bitterly: "Ha, God knows that I have been cooperating with your hypocrisy these days, who will I tell my bitterness and heartache? The astrolabe was handed over to me by the master who raised me. Give it to uncle again, you, how can you..."

I covered my face and burst into tears: "Uncle was only 36 years old when he passed away. He shed the last drop of blood for this Jiangdong foundation, for your grandson's family, and for your grandson Quan, but you still don't trust him! You just want to Disturbing his soul will not rest in peace!"

"In his position, you don't know how to manage his politics!" His face flushed, and his hands trembled violently: "What you do is honestly a last resort. Gong Jin also used an astrolabe to help the battle situation, you Abandoning the treasure willfully, but how can I sit and watch my Jiang Dongerlang throw himself to die?"

I pointed out his misunderstanding mercilessly, "Do you want to exchange your life for victory in the battle?"

"About that thing... how much do you really know?" He seemed to be in mournful despair, he took a few steps back and looked at me with strange eyes.

I replied quietly: "I'm sorry, I sacrificed to God early in the morning, cut off the worldly relationship, and all kinds of things with you are really doomed."

"You...you say it again?!"

"That's right. At the age of 17, I sacrificed Taiyi and became a witch. I am the heir chosen by my uncle. I can tell you frankly that you worked so hard to achieve the 'beam' of Jiangdong before, but it was all in vain in the end."

"Is it something that your subordinates should say?"

"My lord, how can your actions convince us wizards?"

Our eyes met, and we all saw it clearly in each other's eyes.This dialogue undoubtedly exhausted the emotions and rationality of both parties, and after that, there is no possibility of redemption.

He laughed at himself: "In the past, when my elder brother was dying, he ordered me to be in charge of the seal. He once said that a king can gain the honor of all things, and even people with supernatural powers will submit to the soles of my feet. It is because I am young and inexperienced. , those who think that they are like Ge Xuan, they are the so-called supernatural beings. So in the end, that person is you..."

He added: "Oh, how stupid I am, to indulge in the love of my children for a while. Alan, you must ridicule me in your heart every day, thinking that my monarch is weak and stupid."

I stood up and took a few steps forward slowly, out of the range where his emotions could affect me.I said: "Your Majesty, please don't underestimate yourself. In another ten years, you will have our full support. By then, the great cause will be just around the corner."

"yes."

"Regarding the matter of Qilinyu, please rest assured, General. I have tied the blood contract with Ah Lu. From now on, you can take charge of him as a father. Half of the witches' blood has been shed by him, so his position will not be shaken."

"Ha, you've always been thoughtful." I couldn't tell if his reply was a sincere thank you, or a sarcasm?

"Why bother, you and I have finally opened the skylight to speak honestly, it's a pity that it counts."

"No, no, I can't match your Zhou family's far-reaching plans." At this moment, his face seemed to be full of joy, and there was madness in his eyes.

I tilted my head and looked at him. You must know that it was only this month that I obtained the whole truth through my own efforts. I’m not crazy yet. What’s so crazy about him who can figure out all the reasons without effort? ?

I said: "I won't pursue the previous matter. Please let go of the knot with the Zhou family. A Xun and A Yin will be your sons-in-law in the future, Jia Jia will be your daughter-in-law, and the others are just playboys." , do you have any worries?"

"You know everything." He whispered, "Even my staff, none of them can compare to us Alan's intelligence."

He must have lost his mind and went crazy. I became impatient and explained to him patiently: "Your Majesty, please don't ridicule me. I can never compare with you in terms of wisdom. These things are just a coincidence. It was just a little inspiration."

"Ah."

"General Sun, let me ask you now, do you still want Alan to stay?"

He stood by his sword, as if he was ready to draw his sword to block my way at any time.

I waved my hand and pushed away the thick fog that shrouded the two of them. It turned out that dawn was coming soon, and the sun with a round face was preparing to go out in the clouds.I heard Sun Quan say softly: "You, let's go."

When I turned to leave, he suddenly asked me from behind me: "Zhou Lan, do you want to stay?"

The birdsong in the morning was mellow and sweet, my lips moved, and I silently said something that I couldn't understand.Then I turned around and smiled brightly: "I thought about it, but it was a long time ago."

"You and I have known each other for only five years."

"It's long enough. How many five years can you have in your life? General, Ah Li has entrusted you with full authority. I hope he will be fine."

He didn't answer, turned around and strode away.

There was a crisp sound of the whip, and his steady and powerful order came from a distance: "Go back to Jianye."

After leaving Nanxu, Zhao Xu and I took the waterway and headed westward. When we were approaching Lujiang City, Ajia and others caught up with us.I privately asked Zhao Xu to send them back to their respective homes.

This is what I said to Zhao Xu: "Although General Sun saved face, these few were captured after all. In order to prevent the melon fields from falling, let them go back first."

After staying in Lujiang City, I said goodbye to Ami and the others, and planned to take a trip to Shu County.Zhao Xu claimed that my husband told me to go to Jingzhou directly in the morning, and don't waste time on the road.

I replied coolly: "Mr. Zhong will never object to what I am going to do this time. If you don't believe me, you can ask him."

In 26 days, it will be Zhou Yu's second anniversary. I wonder how he is doing in Shu County?I stood blankly on a small hill above the wilderness, looking up at the inconspicuous mound.

How can you imagine that under a pile of loess, there is such a young man in rich clothes buried under a pile of loess, waving a fancy folding fan and waving through the market in spring when peach blossoms are blooming, his eyes are burning and he is used to frivolity: Be polite."

I knelt softly in front of the tombstone.The simple tomb was obviously cleaned frequently, and it was clean without any weeds. A few pieces of paper banners were stuck to the wet loess, trembling in the wind.

I opened the food box I brought, slowly sifted wine for him, and whispered: "I haven't seen you for a long time, two years? Time flies so fast."

The long hair was blown away by the wind, I impatiently stretched out my hands to straighten it, pinned the hair behind my ear, and brought out a few side dishes: "I heard that you love crabs, but unfortunately, in spring, the crabs in the river are cheaper than dumplings." Be small. I cooked fried eggs and braised fish by myself, do you have an appetite? Otherwise, I will eat by myself later."

I gazed at the stone tombstone, with only a few rough inscriptions on it.Raising my hand to touch the shallow scratches, I couldn't help but say: "It's really not your style to be so simple. I remember that you love spending money on gold when you're okay. The bitter and boring days these few years have really made things difficult for you."

He remained silent.

"You are so arrogant today." I shook my head and sat next to him: "I broke up with your lord...why? I saw his face, he was very embarrassed. He really came to find you Tomb, I will no longer call him the General of the Rebellion, I will call him the General of the Grave Robber.

"Well, how did he treat me? Hey, I can't get along with Si Ni, so let's break up. Let's not talk about him, let's talk about you. Did the husband come to see you? If you refuse to answer, that is the default. I will come to see you for all reasons... I saw him last time, didn't you see him too? Right, he even wrote a very nasty sacrificial oration to you."

……

I was talking about unimportant things, and before I knew it, two or three hours had passed since my visit, the sun began to dip, and I packed up my things and prepared to leave.

It seemed that someone was coming from a distance, I hurriedly looked back and hesitated whether to hide.There was a premonition in my heart that led me to take a few steps in the direction of the person, and made me finally make up my mind to stand still.

"Who is it?" The boy's slightly immature voice was full of surprise, and I had already recognized him.

"A Xun."

"Sister Lan?"

Zhou Xun put down the burden on his shoulders and raised his eyebrows: "Sister Lan! When did you come quietly? Did you come alone?"

I smiled and replied: "I haven't seen you in two years, Ah Xun has grown quite a bit taller."

The ten-year-old boy's stature is still thin, but he is half a head taller than the two of us, almost reaching my shoulders.

"Sister Alan, why don't you go to my mother and me when you come to pay homage to your father? It's not far from here, just two miles away." He poked in the direction of a small village in the distance.

I stared at his face, which resembled Zhou Yu's, and my eyes darkened: "I happened to pass by here... I'm leaving soon."

"Sister, stay a few more days and go home with me later."

I shook my head and pointed to the forest on the skyline: "I still have friends waiting for me. Ah Xun, you came just in time, I have something for you."

I took out a jade pendant from the hidden pocket of my cuff and pressed it in Zhou Xun's palm: "This is left by your father before he left. I will give it to you now. You have to keep it safe, you know? This thing is related to our Zhou Xun. The rise and fall of the family, promise me that you will love it like your own eyes."

On that misty early morning, when I walked a long way and was about to cross the river again, Zhao Xu, who was holding a unicorn jade pendant, greeted me with a smile: "Mrs. Is a horse used as a foot strength? My little man, I have waited so long that I almost fainted—here, this treasure is hot, so hurry up and grab it.”

Wouldn't it be a waste of effort to return things to me suddenly after parting?What was Sun Quan thinking in his heart?I admit that I was stunned at that moment, but it doesn't matter, the point is that this treasure finally returned to my hands.

At this moment, Zhou Xun blushed in front of him: "Sister Lan, I'm only ten years old, so I can't protect such an important thing."

I held his shoulders and eagerly looked into his heart: "Who says it's not possible? A-Xun is a dignified man in the family. He has to protect his mother and younger brother, as well as Sister Lan. Sister Lan also depends on you. Promise me not good?"

There was sweat on the tip of his nose, and he nodded slowly and solemnly.

I pulled him to kneel in front of Zhou Yu's tomb, kowtowed heavily, and then poured a cup of wine on the ground: "Uncle, I promised to take good care of my two younger brothers, and I will definitely do it. Zhou Xun, in front of your father, You have to swear that you will not tell anyone about the whereabouts of the jade pendant except me and your mother."

"No, Ah Xun swears."

At such a young age, he was dazed by my solemnity, and his dark eyes were full of doubts.I rubbed his little face pityingly:

"Is my brother coming to visit my father today?"

"No, my mother told me to come every ten days. A lot of green grass grows in spring, and I have to keep pulling it." He made a weeding movement, shook his head and continued, "I'm amazing. I drew all the bows, Ah Yin clamored to compete with me, but he was not strong enough."

I was amused, and touched his little arm in plain clothes: "Aside from riding and shooting, Ah Xun has to study hard, and I will come to see you later."

"Yeah!" My little cousin nodded vigorously, and then showed a cute smile with one missing front tooth.

I managed to hold back the wild laughter that was about to blurt out, and waved to him: "After cleaning, go back quickly, Tianyan."

He solemnly agreed, clutching the jade pendant to his chest.The setting sun stretched his shadow very long.
