Jian An Kee

The author has something to say:

"That old lady of Jianye, what's her attitude these days?" On this day, my husband asked me to have a small talk again.He stood barefoot on the ridge of the field, bent down and held a bit of black soil in his palm, and looked at it carefully.

I snorted: "If you ask me to comment, the words 'people despise ghosts and hate' are considered commendatory. Once you face those officials in Jiangdong, it's like a different person. There are a lot of soft and hard methods, which are amazing. After all, she helped the Sun family's foundation."

He teased me: "Hey, mother-in-law is so hard to serve?"

I puffed up my cheeks, and said after a while: "I heard Mr. Saburo say that the relationship between your second sister and Mrs. Pang's family has always been lively like boiling oil."

The husband shed a drop of sweat: "This...it is clearly that Pang Jia Erlang failed to handle the problem well."

The people of Langya have always had the aura of a high-ranking man, and the old lady of the Pang family is also a straightforward northerner with a temper.

After dinner, Cai Wuer came to look for me secretly, and he said to me: "Sister Lan, don't mention the matter of my second cousin's family in front of Master. Last month, my second cousin's three-year-old child died. Master and the others are very sad. "

I was at a loss for words, and after a long time, I said depressedly: "I don't understand."

"Today we went to Huyang to dig the soil, because the soil here is not clean, and many people suffer from pot belly disease. My little brother also has a high fever due to pot belly disease. Last time, sir, he told brother Ji Chang that he wanted to get some medicine coming."

Pot belly disease, soil is not clean... It is a problem of water, most of them manifest as symptoms of abdominal edema.To people of this age, disease is sometimes more frightening than war.

I bit my lower lip: I wouldn't tell the children that Gu Cheng and I dug the grave every night for the past ten days, dug it out and burned it.

A few years ago, there was a plague in the Jiangling earthquake. It was all good, but at the beginning of this year, there was another plague. The ground was covered with corpses repeatedly polluting the water source, and the situation was simply a mess.

I ruthlessly caught the kid with Gu Cheng a few times, but later it was confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the kid. This time, I answered the phrase "time and luck".

The husband went to Wuling himself, but he refused to disclose which friend he was visiting.In short, the epidemic situation has gradually subsided since then.

While he was away, I said hello to Gu Cheng, and ran back to my cheap dad's house to take care of the patient.Cheap Dad is over 50 years old, and because of the disease, he is so emaciated that I can't help but frown.

The Su family started by reselling medicinal materials, and the taste of ginseng and deer antler is like ordinary people eating pickled vegetables and dried radishes.

I held on to the medicine cup, and persuaded softly: "Father refuses to take medicine anymore, we have to send people to the north, and call the eldest and second brothers back to serve you."

I was so familiar with myself that within two hours of staying in Su's house, I occupied a conspicuous position in front of the bed, making everyone angry and afraid to speak.But I'm not even half ashamed, and I don't think anyone else can take care of people who are sick with the same care and thoughtfulness as I do.

Two or three days later, my master sent someone to send me back, and the messenger brought a small scroll of blessing scriptures, the content of which was nothing more than forbidden to ward off evil spirits, pestilence, spirits of tigers, wolves and mountains, five poisons and one hundred evils, and so on. This made Su Fang greatly improved, and I was at a loss.It seems that now I am walking more and more smoothly on the road of the magic stick.

After returning home, report the situation of the Su family to the husband clearly: such as the turbulent undercurrents between the eldest wife and the younger wife, the son-in-law and the son-in-law, the financial situation of the outside and the inside, etc. gossip.

He nodded slowly, and made a tick on the paper: "Then, looking at this family, there is no problem for the time being."

Seeing that the sticky note under his hand is even and shiny, and also slightly golden, I couldn't help laughing: "I've used 'dyed paper'. It seems that Uncle Huang has a very good life recently."

He said: "Why does he care about this, I have time to let the craftsmen add some hibiscus skins into it, and only seven or eight knives were made in total, if you want one, I will give you one."

The two chatted for a while, when someone was standing in the corridor with his hands down, he caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye and said, "Come in."

The man crossed his shoulders and said something in the sir's ear. His face remained unchanged, his eyes swept over me, and the corner of his mouth moved slightly: "Wait for me to go back and deal with it."

"Military division..." The man wanted to say something, but he raised his hand: "You go."

"Subordinates retire."

On the contrary, I, because I got to know my husband well again in the past few days, teased: "You are really the one and only master, I have to restrain myself."

He curled the corners of his mouth perfunctorily: "Guanglan is being mischievous again? Recently, it's rare for our princess's wife to be quiet for a few days. Don't lead her into trouble again."

Hearing this, I was immediately discouraged: "Sir, you know everything, I haven't said a word yet."

He neatly tidied up a few scrolls scattered on the ground, stood up, paused, and said, "Forget it, after all, Master Wu knows about you, and it would be unreasonable not to visit her. You should rest for a few days and wait for news from me."

I bowed my head and sent him out respectfully, then snapped my fingers and shouted excitedly: "Zhao Xu!"

Mr. Zhao, who was wearing dark clothes at home, appeared out of nowhere, with a big yawn in his mouth.Before, I asked my husband for a man and a woman's assistants, one directly named Zhao Xu, and the other told me to meet again when I went to the north.

I said bluntly: "Zhao Xu, I'll give you a cup of tea to prepare the horse, I'm going out."

I was silent for half a day on the road, which puzzled Zhao Xu, who was used to my usual noisy behavior. Seeing Princess Sun's mansion was close in front of him, he stepped forward and asked, "Miss, do you have any concerns?"

"I am fine."

He all ridiculed: "You misunderstood, the villain just wanted to remind you, how are you going to get into the mansion of the princess of Jiangdong?"

I looked up at Sun Shangxiang's residence, and was a little dumbfounded for a moment.

In the majestic deep house compound, the barracks-style fence is half as high as a person, guards with halberds are patrolling the door □ □ staggered, and the high-chested female soldier is full of murderous looks.

This one, what a grand occasion.I have a bitter face.

He whispered: "Miss, don't you know how the subordinates of Princess Jiangdong are rampant in this Jingzhou city? If there is no such ostentation, who will be afraid of her."

Naturally, I have heard about this matter, as early as in Jianye, I heard about the name of the princess who is arrogant and rampant.According to the theory of men's psychology, there is a reason why Liu Huangshu doesn't want to see his little wife recently.Most men are disgusted with using a woman who dances swords and swords all day long as an intimate partner (especially in fact she is better than him), once and twice may be regarded as fun, and it will not help losing the favor of old-fashioned men for a long time——When a woman appears Where can they find their face when they are superior to their partner's strength?

"Go and call the door." I instructed Zhao Xu: "Listen to me, that female sister has a hot body, hot girls like handsome men, it will definitely help if you go."

Zhao Xu couldn't resist me, he walked slowly towards the gate of the mansion, as if he was about to send himself into the bloody maw of some monster, with an awe-inspiring expression on his face.

I closed my eyes and turned my head, not daring to look directly at the tragedy that was about to happen.

"Your Excellency, my master is here to pay a visit to the wife of the princess." This is Zhao Xu's opening remarks, hey, not bad?

Another delicate voice asked, "Who is your master?"

"This... let me inform you first, and I will know when Madam sees you." Zhao Xu's polite words were interrupted by a crisp "pop".

The female guard said softly: "You self-righteous prodigal, don't get out!"

I secretly opened my eyes a crack.

Zhao Xu turned his head to one side, and five fingers of red flowers bloomed on his face.

I burst out laughing "puchi", then walked over and said politely, "Just tell Xiangxiang that people from Jiangdong are here, and I'll come and see her Hun horse."

The female soldier looked at me suspiciously. Hearing that I was from Jiangdong, she dared not neglect her. She crossed her hands and bowed: "You two wait a moment."

After a stick of incense, I heard the sound of footsteps inside. The disheveled Sun Shangxiang rushed to the door with only a pair of shoes on, and happily took my hand: "Alan is the most powerful and has the best way! You really came to see me Come on, come in."

I winked at Zhao Xu, and he followed me decisively.

She couldn't hide her joy: "You didn't ask someone to tell me before you came, otherwise a boat would be sent to pick you up. How about the journey?"

I nodded and made up a few nonsense words based on her preferences: "It's okay, I'm here with the team on this mission, and I'll be taken care of along the way. Both your brother and your mother asked me to say hello to you."

"Mother, is she in good health? Blame me for running away with Xuande at that time, I'm afraid it will hurt my mother." Hearing me mention Gaotang, her expression quickly dimmed.

I laughed and said, "Where is it? The princess also knows that Guotai loves you the most. If you marry and follow your husband, if she doesn't understand you, how can she allow me to visit you?"

"That's the truth..." Shang Xiang led me into the middle hall to have tea, and talked about our life after we parted. Although she looked happy, she couldn't hide her loneliness in her conversation.

I felt a little sad: "Don't wrong yourself too much, you just need to be patient for a while, when Uncle Liu Huang takes Xichuan and becomes the master of Shu, you can go to Shu with him and live a happy life."

She was stunned, almost lost in the beautiful blueprint drawn for her, and finally, she pursed her lips and smiled: "Will you, will you live such a life?"

I patted the back of her hand: "If you believe it, you will."

So she smiled: "You have come from a long way, how can I just ask you to have some weak tea? I will entertain you with a banquet in the evening. Are you staying in the posthouse? Bring all your luggage to me, and I will have a good time with you." You talk."

I summoned Zhao Xu who was on the sidelines: "Go and tell the manager that I'm staying with Madam today, and I want him to pack up and send it over."

Zhao Xu gave me a deep look, bowed and retreated.

Shang Xiang looked at his back very suspiciously, and asked me: "Alan, where have all your maids gone, why did you change to a strange guard to follow?"

I smiled perfunctorily: "Recently, there is a war again, and there is a lot of chaos outside. That guard is good at martial arts, and your brother ordered him not to leave my side."

Shang Xiang laughed loudly: "Brother has a heart. But this time, Alan, please relax. My house is impregnated with iron walls, and no one can break in."

Sun Shangxiang is the only girl among the five brothers of the Sun family. She was spoiled and spoiled since she was a child. It can be said that she has never suffered a lot, and her food and clothing are top-notch. I am afraid that the princesses in Yecheng are not as grand as her!Although she didn't make the "Dust Cleaning Banquet" known to everyone, it was also very rich, just looking at the roasted crispy browned fat lamb on the banquet can be seen.

Before the banquet started, Shang Xiang pulled me to the corner and whispered: "I didn't invite anyone else, but General Zhao, the Sima who stayed in the camp, so it's okay not to take it along with you... You don't mind, do you?"

I immediately shook my head.

The so-called "staying in the camp Sima", as the name suggests, is clearly an official position to look after the family and the house, and it is common sense for Sun Gu to be afraid of him.

Because it was not a formal banquet, Zhao Yun was dressed in ordinary clothes to attend this time.He wears a Qinghong sword on his waist, wears a moon-white shirt, has a tall and straight figure and a well-behaved manner, truly dazzling.For a long time, my eyes were glued to the delicate patterns on his cuffs.

☆、Chapter 83

This side didn't know how to deal with the beast, a guard hurried to the door of the back hall, "Report to the general, Nanyuan is flooded." He looked at the monster while replying, and couldn't help but pause in fright.

"What?!" Sun Quan's face was ashen, "Hurry up and send people to put out the fire, strengthen your guard, think carefully, and add another round of guards."

My head buzzed: "Nanyuan? Doesn't grandma live in Minshan Garden in Nanyuan? Tell me, how is my grandma?"

"Hui, Hui madam, it is Minshan Garden that caught fire..."

I was angry and anxious, "Take me there quickly! Go quickly, why are you still poking here and not going to fight the fire!"

The guard looked at Sun Quan hesitantly, and Sun Quan pulled me up: "I'll be with you."

Then the monster stopped howling, and suddenly raised its head, looked at me with several eyes, and let out a terrible scream, like the wail of the Nazgul's mount.It made a circle on the spot, and without waiting for any further movement from the crowd, it spread its ugly wings and took off, rushed out of the crowd, returned to the open window, and disappeared into the darkness in an instant.

I didn't want to wait any longer, so I lifted my skirt and rushed out. I ran through four or five courtyards in one breath, and when I arrived at the Nanyuan, I saw the flames soaring into the sky. Every time I took a step closer, my cheeks were painful.

Ever since I came to Jianye, my grandma hasn't been feeling well physically, and she's worried about my relationship with Sun Quan, and she's always in a bad mood.Grandma was going to attend the banquet today, but she said she had a terrible headache and couldn't get out of bed. I had to order a doctor to take care of her. I never thought that this would put her in danger.

I rushed to the gate of the courtyard recklessly, but Zhang Chu, the head of the guard, stopped me: "Madam, please stay."

I slapped him face to face and shouted angrily: "Where is my grandma?" He knelt down on one knee: "Madam, please take care of yourself, Mrs. Tai is not out of danger yet..."

Sun Quan caught up and grabbed my hand, and said sharply, "Look at what you look like! Zhang Chu, take someone to rescue Mrs. Tai, but if she can't be found, all of you will come to see her."

Running all the way and inhaling the smoke, I choked and coughed.Sun Quan used the brute force of a martial arts practitioner to forcibly drag me out of the fire, and took off his own cloak to wrap around my messy and disheveled appearance.He said: "You are Ah Li's mother, even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about him. This loss of composure in front of everyone really disappoints me."

I coughed for a while, and replied with a strange smile: "That's not your grandma, of course you don't worry." As soon as the words came out, I felt that the words were too heavy, and I refused to apologize to him stubbornly.

He didn't speak, just let go, looked at me lightly, then turned and left.

After a few minutes, grandma was finally brought out of the fire, and I rushed over to check her injuries.There were burns on her cheeks, dust haze around her nose and mouth, and she fell into a coma.I checked her pulse and it was normal, so I hurriedly asked the doctors to move her to Beiyuan, where the fire hadn't affected her.

The five guards in charge of rescuing her all suffered burns to varying degrees, and the captain of the guard Zhang Chu was especially seriously injured. I bowed deeply to them: "There is no repayment for saving my life."

By midnight, the raging fire was finally extinguished.The entire Nanyuan was burned down. Fortunately, the independent courtyard structure blocked the further spread of the fire.

"Why is there such a fierce fire in the most humid Nanyuan?" I accompanied my grandmother's hospital bed and couldn't help asking the maid beside me.

"Nanyuan transplanted the most vegetation, all of which were dried up by the fire, which invisibly fueled the fire." At some point, Sun Quan came into the house.

"General?" I stood up in surprise and saluted him, feeling a little embarrassed at the same time: "Why are you here, how is... outside?"

"Everything is settled, don't worry. I'll come and see Mrs. Tai."

I turned my head to look at my grandma: "Doctor Yuan said that her condition is not optimistic. Granny is old, and she is not acclimatized here, and her health is not good...now..." I almost choked up, looked up at Sun Quan: "I really She shouldn't have been allowed to come here."

There was a trace of irritation on Sun Quan's face: "You...that's all." He walked closer to look at grandma, and the hem of his robe brushed against my instep.Then he stood still, guessing from his body language that he seemed to be about to kiss me, but then he turned and hurried out of the room with a soldier's typical step.

I was sleepy and angry, mixed with worry and anxiety, and the blood in my chest was surging.Suppressing my physical discomfort, I invited Dr. Yuan to discuss my grandmother's condition with him.

Dr. Yuan said: "Mrs. Tai is indeed very weak, but I have to wait until morning to make a conclusion."

God is on top!I did something heinous and told him to hurt my grandma at my son's first birthday party.Damn it, can't you just punish me? !I cursed angrily in my heart, but my face was so calm that no emotion could be seen, and I just let him continue to guard grandma.

Grandma woke up at noon. At that time, I was sleeping deeply on the beauty couch outside, but I woke up again just as the maid approached.

"Ma'am?" That maid was Sun Quanxin's new personal maid, she has a cute face and big bright eyes, but when I just woke up, my eyes became very hateful.The dark leech in the dream entangled me, I wiped the sweat from my brow, and said to her, "You go first."

"No, the servant will leave."

Grandma is very ill.Her burns made her look worse, and her cloudy eyes had turned yellow and could barely move.She held my hand tightly and repeated mechanically: "Shaoxing...go to Shaoxing..."

"Grandma, how do you feel?" I knelt down and asked her ear, but she just repeated dully and mechanically: "Shaoxing, go to Shaoxing..."

I held back my tears and turned my head to ask Dr. Yuan: "What's wrong with grandma, it's just that she won't lose her mind if she gets burned!"

"Mrs. Tai has a large edema in her throat, you may be able to see the situation through her eyes..."

"What?" I lost my voice.Is it a respiratory complication...

The maid came to tell me that Sun Quan was standing in the outer hall and did not come in.I stumbled up and walked to the door holding the hand of the maid.I asked Sun Quan hoarsely, "Where is your son?"

"Asleep. When he wakes up, I will send someone to send him to live in a house in the north of the city for a few days, to avoid these chores first."

"That's fine." I nodded, "It's just that grandma needs more doctors, and doctor Yuan said he can't do anything."

"In a while, I'll ask several doctors to show Mrs. Tai."

In the evening, after a consultation with several doctors, they all described grandma's condition as dangerous and abnormal.I had no choice but to cry and beg Sun Quan: "Go and release Dong Yuan, he is the best at treating patients."

"How can this be done!" Sun Quan looked anxious, "He is a repeat offender, intending to rebel, and even held you hostage, so we must not let him out."

I knelt down in front of him: "General, I beg you, let him out, otherwise Alan will lose his grandma. Grandma is so weak, it's dangerous to delay for a moment..."

He pulled me up and sighed: "I have nothing to do with you. Think deeply."

Shen Shi entered the room, "The villain is here."

Sun Quan said: "Take my warrant and go to the prison to bring Dong Yuan out. Send twenty guards, and you take them with you. Watch him on the way, and don't make any mistakes."

"Little man obeys."

I sent Sun Quan to the corridor, but he didn't leave in a hurry. He stood at the window and discussed something with the guards. I only heard a few sporadic words of "round up" and "Dongye thief Lu He".

Sun Quan turned around and saw that I was still in the corridor, he raised his voice a little and said, "Go and rest, Dong Yuan will send someone to tell you when he brings it up."

I nodded, as if I had encountered such a scene in a dream, such a conversation, and even the sky behind Sun Quan had the same sunset glow in my memory.

The setting sun is like blood.In the near future, there will be a killing.I am well aware of what is to come, but I am unable and unqualified to speak of the future.For the first time in six years, I felt invincibly tired.

☆、Chapter 84

It is already March, and the weather in the south is warm and humid. Dong Yuan in prison seems to have stopped his time in winter. His long body is wrapped in tattered cotton wool, and his new hair is messy like weeds. Desperate and miserable.

He smiled at me, only his eyes and a patch of white remained on his dirt-covered face: "Mrs. Zhou thinks of me, Caomin is so moved beyond description."

"Your vitality is really amazing." I didn't care about the bad smell on his body, and approached him: "You look fine...Compared to the scene when you imprisoned me, how can the genius doctor still have a piece of cloth?" It’s not as good as me, but I was so embarrassed that I didn’t even have a fig leaf.”

His smile was lifeless: "This house is full of the decayed atmosphere of illness. The grassroots dare to speculate, do you want me to heal someone?"

"You're right." I stood up abruptly, "My grandma is critically ill, except for Hua Tuo who was invited by Prime Minister Cao and the old Zhang Ji (Note 1), no one in this world can save my grandma—— And of course you."

Dong Yuan, who was kneeling on the ground, slowly raised his head and stared at me: "I'm about to die, why should I save your grandma?"

"Save her, I will protect your wife, children and mother."

He laughed loudly: "Is Mrs. Zhou fooling me? The life and death of the young and old in Cao Min's family is not up to you."

I went to the desk, picked up the official letter I just asked Sun Quan and threw it in front of him: "Look at it."

He stretched out his shiny black and dirty hands, held up the official letter tremblingly, and held it up to him for a closer look.

"You have to save my grandma, otherwise your wife and children won't be able to escape..."

"as you wish."

Dong Yuan took the medicine for two days, and her grandmother's condition gradually improved. Although she was still unconscious, most of the edema had subsided, and the high fever had also subsided. Judging from the current situation, it would take less than five days to recover.

Although I am extremely reluctant, I have to admit that Dong Yuan's medical skills are extremely good. It is a pity to let him die in prison like this. However, in view of his unreliable character, I still agree to put him in custody again after curing my grandmother. .

For many days, Sun Quan was busy investigating the cause of the fire, and wanted to hunt down the ugly monster. In addition, the Shanyue tribe near Danyang rebelled again. The number of times he visited his grandmother gradually decreased, and even the guards relaxed Dong Yuan's supervision.Dong Cheng looked like he was treating patients honestly, but I didn't believe him from the bottom of my heart. When he was by my grandmother's side, I took care of him personally all the time.

"You have to thank me, Mrs. Zhou."

"I've already done it. Your wife and children will leave for Ye City as soon as my grandmother recovers completely."

Dong Yuan sat across from me, stretched out his hand and spread it on the case: "I'm not talking about this. I'm talking about——I kept a secret for you, and I would rather be tortured than reveal it. How should you thank me?"

He had only had a good few days, and he was glib again, and his vitality was really tenacious.I smiled slightly: "You are not doing it for me, you are just doing it for yourself to get the secret of 'Bundle', besides, no one looks like you when you say it, ah, even if someone believes it, you have no evidence. Dong Yuan, you have If you lose, General Sun got the copy of 'Hongze' from you, and now you lose nothing."

"Hehe, what about you, Mrs. Zhou, are you like me, deceived by your husband and leaving nothing?"

I said coldly: "That's between me and him, you don't need to know."

"Yes, I don't need to know. But Mrs. Zhou, does your husband know about your other little secret?"

"I do not understand what you are saying."

He crossed his hands on the case, let go of his hands after a while, and touched the brush he used to write prescriptions: "When lying, people love to use this sentence to deny the truth."

"Don't try to dissect me, or to put it another way, don't try to smear me."

His face turned pale: "Sure enough, he is a monster, his nature is hard to change."

"Blood," I said sharply. "You don't have a shred of evidence."

"I admire your ability to deceive yourself." Dong Yuan finished the conversation between us, bowed his head slightly to me, "The medicine is almost ready, Cao Min will leave."

I wiped the sweat from my palms with a handkerchief, and stood up weakly.Dong Yuan is right, I still have a secret with him, my terrible tattoo accused of being a monster, and other little secrets must not be discovered by Sun Quan.

Grandma's body recovered quickly, and she even had the energy to gossip with me.I wanted to bring Sun Li to show her, but grandma said that she was sick and not to be passed on to the child.

I asked my grandma why she had been talking about going to Shaoxing a few days ago. Grandma smiled and held my hand: "I went to Shaoxing a few days ago and I like it very much. Jiangbei has been fighting, and you can't do it, Alan." Go pay homage to your parents."

I didn't understand why my grandma changed the subject, so I just smiled: "Yes, but there are many refugees in Jianye, and most of them are far away by the river to worship the northern ancestors."

On the second day, Dong Yuan was escorted back to prison. I wholeheartedly thought that Sun Quan would send his family to Yecheng, until my grandmother's condition deteriorated again at night, so I hurriedly sent someone to find Sun Quan, and begged him to bring Dong Yuan to prison again with a warrant. Come out, the answer is not allowed.

He was busy meeting with civil and military officials to discuss Cao Jun's southward invasion.I had no choice but to go to the prison to question Dong Yuan.

As soon as Dong Yuan saw me, he showed a terrible smile: "Mrs. Zhou will pay the price for her lies."

"Your family has already left, what is there to be dissatisfied with? My grandma has no grievances with you, and you have the heart to kill her!"

Dong Yuan leaned against the corner of the cell, his head drooping: "Leave? Hehe, hehe, I just found out that my youngest daughter has died of illness for two days, and they are all locked up in prison, how can they be released? Someone saved your grandma, but who will save my daughter? My daughter is only four years old, and she was implicated to death by me..."

I was shocked and speechless: "How come...the official letter has been sent, they will release him, you made a mistake..."

"I made a mistake? Hahahaha, yes, I made a mistake. Mrs. Zhou, why don't you give me a good time, because you are full of pleasure when you see the scene of separation of flesh and blood with your own eyes..."

My head was bewildered, I walked out of the prison, and asked the cell leader who led the way face to face: "Has this prisoner's family members been released?"

"The little guy doesn't know."

I was stunned angrily, "Okay, okay, you don't know, I'll ask the general."

When I got back to the mansion, I didn't even change my clothes, and went straight to the door of Sun Quan's study. The guards guarded the door and didn't let me in.In desperation, I drew out the guard's waist sword and pointed at one of them, threatening: "Either you report to the general now, or you leave your loyalty and life on this Danbi step today!"

"Enough, Alan, come in." Finally, Sun Quan said inside.

I threw the sword on the ground, opened the door and entered.There are some changes in the interior space of the study. The original small desk is gone, replaced by a large square table with a huge battle map on it.The air smelled of sweat, dust, and a sweet, cloying scent of incense.Sun Quan sat across from me.

"Why didn't you see me?" I went straight to the point.

"Alan, I'm a little tired. After a day's discussion, I'm very tired."

I made a pause gesture: "Let's not talk about this. Let me ask you, has Dong Yuan's family been released?"

Sun Quan stood up, he flipped over a corner of the battle map, and walked in front of me: "You can't show mercy to those who conspire. Alan, they are like reeds in winter. If you don't clean them up, spring will soon come." Grow it out again."

"You didn't answer my question." My patience ran out. "Dong Yuan is such a cunning person. He has left behind. Grandma's condition has deteriorated again. The general refuses to release Dong Yuan's family. Go to grandma's funeral!"

"Alan, your worry has caused you to fall into blindness. Can't you see clearly? It's not that Dong Yuan has a backup, but that you overestimate his ability. He has no way to save him. Deceiving you, delaying time to find an opportunity to escape."

"Aren't you lying to me?" I laughed back angrily, "You made me give him a false promise, but now I'm going to pay for my grandma's life."

He didn't answer me.

I grabbed Sun Quan's robe: "General, hurry up and order Dong Cheng's family to be released, maybe, maybe it's still time to save grandma..."

He brushed my hand away gently but resolutely: "Don't worry about these things anymore. I have found another doctor with good medical skills to take care of your grandmother. You can go to Mrs. Tai's side to accompany her."

"General!" I was angry that he didn't care about 21, and made a decision without listening to my judgment.But he waved the search, and someone opened the door, which clearly meant for me to go out.

I returned to my grandmother's temporary house full of resentment and anger.In the room, an old man wearing a alchemist towel and a short jacket was talking to a maid.Seeing me walk in, the old man saluted me and said: "I have seen Mrs. Zhou in Xun Jie, and I have been ordered by the general to be sent by my wife."

I snorted, "Don't talk so much nonsense. If you cure grandma well, you can pick gold and women at will. If you can't cure it," I stared into his eyes, "I will make you regret if you delay grandma's illness." of."

Although grandma's body is weak, she is still conscious most of the time.After Xun Jie left, grandma called me to the bedside, she held me tightly with withered fingers, and there was a little light in her decayed eyes: "Lan, it seems that grandma won't survive this time..."

"What are you talking about?" I forced a smile at her.

"Shhh, let me finish." She swallowed, her chapped lips showed her illness, "Grandma lived to be 60 years old, and she has experienced everything. To see you come back, Alan, is already a lifetime of grandma. The greatest blessing. Alan, do you still remember your master?"

I was surprised: "You know him?"

"He brought you back, I know...I shouldn't have said it, but grandma really can't make it through this time." Grandma's smile blurred: "He asked me to tell you that if one day, you If you don't like it, go to the outskirts of Shaoxing, where there is a Lingbi Bridge, you can pray on the bridge, and you will be blessed with good luck..." She muttered these words, and fell into a semi-conscious state again.

I jumped anxiously, hoping that Xun Jie's medicine would be effective, but the next day my grandma showed no signs of waking up, and I wanted to beg Sun Quan to let Dong Yuan out, but he was not in the mansion.

I went to my bedroom, climbed the edge of the bed and tiptoed to get the sword of Quexie on the bed frame, then found a cloak and put it on, and tucked the sword under the skirt.After making these preparations, I went straight to the prison to force Dong Yuan to be brought out.It went smoothly when I went in. The fat warden politely asked me to stand outside the wooden fence. He squinted his eyes and said, "Oh, it's okay for Madam to interrogate this prisoner. Please pay more attention to safety. Come on." Commander, let some guards come in to protect you."

"No need." I signaled him to step back first, walked to the huge door lock, and asked the pile of half-dead rags in the corner: "If I let you out now, will you be able to save your family?"

He didn't respond to my words.I sneered and said, "In the past, Yuan Shao lost the chance to surprise Xudu because of the safety of his youngest son, which caused him to suffer a crushing defeat at Guandu. You have been planning painstakingly for more than ten years for the revenge of the family, but now, you don't even care about the safety of your own family."

He raised his disheveled head and crawled in front of me: "What do you want from me?"

I drew the sword from my cloak, and slashed at the lock. The chain broke with a "bang".The guard at the door hurriedly asked, "Madam, are you okay?"

"Don't come in!" I yelled, but another voice responded angrily: "What are you doing?"

I took a step back, hardly believing my eyes: "General, how are you here?"

Sun Quan in heavy armor walked into the prison cell and stood with his sword. Behind him was a group of heavily armed soldiers in red trousers and yellow cotton coats.

He said slowly: "If I don't come again, you are afraid that you will let this traitor escape privately."

I stood with my sword on the ground and quickly regained my composure: "General, the only thing I want is to ask him to take care of my grandma."

"This person is not worthy of your trust. Don't forget, he hijacked you."

"I know." My forehead was dripping with sweat: "That Xun Jie's medicine has no effect, I have no choice, just let me out of here, General."

Sun Quan raised a hand, and the soldiers accompanying him all retreated.His face was as dark as water, and he looked at me for a long time, and finally heaved a long sigh: "You go."

I kicked Dong Yuan who was on the ground, he got up on the ground with hands and feet, and when he walked up to Sun Quan, he gave Sun Quan a hard look.I was deeply afraid that Sun Quan would change his mind at this time, and urged Dong Cheng to leave the prison as soon as possible.Dong Cheng walked slowly one step ahead of me, the noon wind mixed the peculiar smell of prison on his body: the smell of sweat, the smell of rats, and the stench of decay.
