In the Spring and Autumn and Warring States without women

Xia Yu and his party returned to Linzi from Changdi, keeping a low profile along the way, avoiding relatively large cities, avoiding the intersection with the magistrates and officials, and galloped to the city of Linzi in a starry night.

When Fang arrived at the bottom of the city, he saw Tian Xu standing outside the city gate of Linzi, beside him was a tall and handsome strange man in his twenties, surrounded by a group of city guards, the north gate of Linzi ordered Fu low to be a small boy , bent over beside Tiansu, looking like he was waiting carefully.

As soon as Xia Yu saw Tian Xu, he reined in his horse and stopped immediately. After Xia Yu reined in his horse, Tian Shu, Tian Xiang, Xi Guohe and all the guards who followed him also reined in and stopped.

When Tian Shu saw Tian Xu standing outside the city gate, he immediately frowned, leaned close to Xia Yu's ear, and said in a low voice, "It's not right, I sent someone back in advance to say hello to my father and the old grand master. It’s fine if there’s no news, why did Tian Xu come here just to see our jokes or something, and came outside the city gate to wait for us?”

Xia Yu looked at Tian Xu in the distance, and said: "It's useless to talk about it now, why don't we go into the city?" After saying that, Xia Yu got off her horse and walked towards Tian Xu at the gate of the city.

Seeing Xia Yu get off the horse, Tian Shu had no choice but to turn over and get off the horse. After walking a few steps with Xia Yu, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. Turning his head, he saw that Tian Xiang, who had hardly said a word all the way, was still on the horse, not moving. .

This made Tian Shu frowned, turned back and tugged at the corner of Tian Xiang's clothes, and said, "Ah Xiang, come back to your senses, I need your help right now."

Tian Xiang, who seemed to be on a fugue again, came back to his senses after being called out by Tian Shu, got off his horse, followed Xia Yu with Tian Shu, and walked towards the city gate.

Xia Yu came to Tian Xu, saluted, and said, "General Zuo."

Tian Xu said with a very kind smile: "Young Bao has worked hard all the way."

Xia Yu smiled and said, "I can't bear the word hard work." After exchanging greetings, Xia Yu glanced at the many guards behind Tian Xu, and said, "How can I get General Zuo to greet you personally?" You are ashamed of the city gate."

Tian Xu said with a smile: "Whatever the Shaobao said, it is the order of the ruler to wait here."

Xia Yu was slightly surprised, and said, "Desire to be in power?"

Tian Xu nodded and said: "The governor ordered me to personally welcome the Shaobao here to report to the governor."

Xia Yu glanced at Tian Xu and the soldiers behind him again, before he could open his mouth, he heard Tian Xu running over with Tian Xiang behind him, and said, "It's just right, Ah Xiang is back, I think the ruler must also want to see him own son."

Tian Xu frowned. What Tian Shu said meant that Tian Xiang was going to go to the government with Xia Yu on purpose, which would disrupt his plan.

At this moment, a very gentle voice came from behind Tian Xu, saying: "The ruler really misses the general very much, but he has the right to prioritize matters. Ever since the general's father knew that the general was in danger, he was worried day and night and became ill. It's down, now that the general is returning home, I'm afraid he should first visit the general's father-in-law to relieve his old man's worries."

Tian Xiang was still silent at first, but when she heard that her inner father had fallen ill, she blinked, then seemed to wake up, and said, "Is inner father sick? When did it happen?"

The man behind Tian Xu, who just spoke, took a few steps forward, bowed in front of Tian Xiang, and then said: "The ruling officer is worried about the general day and night, so that he is seriously ill in bed. The witch doctor has diagnosed him for a long time, and even taking medicine is useless. Use the witch doctor's diagnosis, the ruling nephew is a heart disease, and it is difficult to heal the soldiers of the general's nephew."

Hearing these words, Tian Xiang showed worry on his face, and turned his head to look at Xia Yu and Tian Shu in embarrassment.

Tian Shu frowned, looked at the man who spoke, and said, "Who are you?"

The man bowed his hand to Tian Shu and said: "I, Shen Zili, a commoner, is now a visitor to General Zuo's residence."

Tian Shu sneered when he heard it, and said: "So it's a visitor from General Zuo's residence, no wonder he has such a clever mouth."

Shen Zili heard Tian Shu's slightly ironic words, and he was not angry at all, and said: "It is true that there is only one mouth that can speak a little bit, which is admirable, but even though you are not talented, you know that you are a son of man. You can't ignore your own father who is on the sick bed."

Shen Zili's words seemed to be modest and self-deprecating on the surface, but in fact they had a secret plan, and Tian Shu was so angry that he choked in his throat, unable to get out. At this time, it was Xia Yu who opened his mouth and said, "This gentleman said That’s right, filial piety is the first priority for a son of man.”

Tian Shu listened to Xia Yu's opening, and wanted to say something more, but don't stop Xia Yu raising his hand, while Tian Xiang hesitated for a moment, but was still overwhelmed by his worries about his inner father, looked at Xia Yu, and said: "Ah Yu, I'll look for you after seeing my inner father."

Xia Yu smiled and nodded, Tian Xiang saw Xia Yu agreed, turned around and followed Shen Zili's guidance to leave.

Tian Shu looked at the back of Tian Xiang leaving, his face sank like water, he approached Xia Yu's ear and lowered his voice, "Ayu, don't you see that there is something wrong with this?"

Xia Yu glanced at Tian Shu and said, "So what if you see it? What if the ruling nephew is really sick? If you stop Ah Xiang like this, if there is something wrong with the ruling nephew, where will you put him?"

Tian Shu couldn't refute, turned his head and stared at Tian Xu full of anger, as if he had vented his anger on the villain in front of him, but Tian Xu still smiled very much when facing Tian Shu's angry eyes. Kindly, said: "This...I, Yilaomai, will call you a family nephew. Your father is very worried about you."

Tian Shu said calmly: "Although Shu is incompetent and has lost many battles, he still has the heart of loyalty to protect the country. My father freely taught me the way of being a loyal and righteous gentleman. He must understand that Shu should not care about personal safety when the country is in danger."

Hearing this, Tian Xu smiled appreciatively, and said: "My nephew's ambition is to be admired, but he is only loyal to the country and should not ignore the filial piety of a son of man. Your father is seriously ill, and he misses you very much. My nephew repays his mistake." The heart is exhausted, and now it is time to fulfill the responsibility of the Son of Man."

"You!" A fire went straight to the chest and lungs, and Tian Shu was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He just used this reason to get Tian Xiang away, and now he can't even change the excuse, but wants to kill himself. Take it away, how can this make Tian Shu angry!

Really angry, Tian Shu put his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist unconsciously, and the soldiers beside Tian Xu became nervous when they saw Tian Shu stretching out his hand to press the sword, and they all stretched out their hands to press the sword, approaching, faintly There is a tendency to surround Xia Yu and Tian Shu.

Seeing the tense situation, Xia Yu grasped Tian Shu's hand holding the sword, and said, "Ashu, uncle is ill, you should go home to serve him."

Tian Shu saw Xia Yu holding her down, gritting her teeth, trembling unceasingly, unable to speak for a while, and finally even the circles of her eyes were red.

Seeing Tian Shu like this, Xia Yu felt a little uncomfortable, so she forced herself to clench her fist, punched Tian Shu on the shoulder, and said, "What do you do with this appearance? It's not like you won't see him anymore. Go, this paragraph Your father must be worried about you to death, and you know that your father loves to cry so much."

Maybe Tian Shu really inherited many of his father's traits, because at this time he looked like he was about to cry, but in the end, he suppressed the blush in his eyes, gave a military salute to the rain, and turned around. left.

Looking at Tian Shuyuan's back, Xia Yu suddenly felt a little sad, sighed softly, Xia Yu turned to look at Tian Xu, and said, "General Zuo can speak directly now."
