Zhou Lang Zhou Lang

After changing into plain white clothes and pulling up the hood, Li Mu found that the room she was in was in the row closest to the city gate when she went out. Several soldiers carried bamboo baskets and long loads to clean up the rubble and broken wood after the explosion. When it was carried away, the dust flew up, as if a mist had been formed out of thin air.

Looking at the city gate from this position, one can vaguely see a line of soldiers patrolling the top and bottom of the city tower, and the neat pace accompanied by the sound of sword strikes is particularly reassuring at this moment.

Li Mu stood at the door, watched for a while, thought for a while, then turned around and walked quickly towards the county government.

The guards in front of the gate of the county mansion were replaced by Zhou Yu's personal soldiers, all wearing armor and holding spears, with bows and knives hanging from their backs, guarding the tight gate tightly.

Li Mu had just stepped onto a step when he was stopped by someone.

"The general has an order... I feel unwell, thank you for the time being... If there is any return on military affairs, please... General Gan will make a decision first." Zhou Yu's personal soldiers naturally also recognized Li Mu, and they came to block people for two days, saying it very slickly He hesitated to say a word in front of Li Mu.But Zhou Yu was strict in running the army, with military orders in hand, no matter how he stumbled, he managed to speak out.

When Li Mu heard Zhang Zhongjing say that Zhou Yu closed the door to thank guests, he knew that he would not see anyone at such a time. It must be a military order, so he thought of an excuse on the way here: "How can I remember that there is still a military order. I will go in and out." Gongjin’s military account doesn’t need to be communicated, so he can enter by himself?”

Zhou Yu did have this order, but it was still in Wancheng...

The soldiers were taken aback, but for a moment they didn't remember that it was Wancheng, so they subconsciously muttered: "But this is not a military camp..."

"If the military camp is like this, let alone the county government?"

Li Mu hadn't opened his mouth to speak yet, Gan Ning's voice came from behind him, walking very fast, just listening to his footsteps when he landed, his vigorous appearance when he was walking naturally appeared in his mind.

The situation was too urgent when she entered the city, she didn't care to avoid Gan Ning.But now Zhou Yu was like this, she didn't believe that Gan Ning didn't know the news of Sun Ce's death, so she couldn't avoid him even more.

Li Mu secretly gritted his teeth, suppressed the urge to run to the county mansion immediately, collected himself, turned around and saluted: "General Gan has worked hard these two days."

Gan Ning was originally a person who valued loyalty and commitment. Although he never got to see Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and Li Mu ventured into Jichun to take him out of Jiangxia. Just leave.

In addition, the young man in front of him had a pale complexion and sloppy footsteps. He was obviously extremely sad for his brother's death, but he had to straighten his back in front of others and not lose his momentum.He couldn't bear the thought of such a drastic change before he reached the championship.And at this time, he was still able to look at Zhou Yu with a steady mind, and couldn't help but secretly nodded, bowed to her, lowered his voice, and said sincerely, "My lord, my condolences."

Li Mu returned the half salute and let out a long breath.After hesitating for a moment between showing a sad face and facing each other with Chang Yan, he finally decided to deal with it as he should.Her brother is Tai Shici, she really can't show the sadness of losing her brother.

Little did they know that it was exactly like this, which actually confirmed Gan Ning's conjecture.

Just as he was about to enter the door, Li Mu suddenly remembered Zhang Zhongjing's words. After thinking for a while, he stopped and turned around, and called Gan Ning who was about to leave: "General Annoyance ordered mourning in the city, and immediately sent envoys to Wu Jun to report the funeral. Be sure to rush to Zuo Ci Arrived before, no matter what method you use, don't let him utter absurd words and shake the morale of the army. At the same time, in my name, distribute reward orders to all states, take down Zuo Ci, ten thousand gold rewards, regardless of life or death, Use the snow to find revenge. In addition, order the generals to abide by their duties and not leave without authorization, and beware of Cao Cao and Liu Bei taking advantage of the gap to attack...then order Taishi Ziyi to lead the army...to escort...my brother..."

If you can't catch Zuo Ci, you won't be able to hide the news of Sun Ce's death. It's better to spread everything out, and take the lead in expressing your opinion, saying that the explosion in Xunyang was a long-planned assassination. No matter what Zuo Ci said, there was a suspicion of deliberately avoiding it, and turning this old man who pretended to be a ghost into a specialist in assassination, the credibility of what he said would naturally be greatly reduced in the future.

The most important thing is the last sentence.Only when it was Tai Shici who came, would she be able to safely continue to try to escape from the identity of Sun Quan.

If it were someone else, most of Wu Jun would be veterans who had fought with Sun Jian, and it was hard to guarantee that there would be someone who hadn't seen Sun Quan before.And if Sun Quan came forward...

Not to mention how Gan Ning will deal with the past here, she is really not sure what Sun Quan will say in front of people.

After all, Zuo Ci's ability to obtain the secret of gunpowder has nothing to do with her.This later Lord Wu has been hostile to her for a long time, and he is in the same city. Once he has available soldiers and horses, I am afraid that even if she shows that she is a woman to show weakness, it will be too late.

According to Zhang Zhongjing, Zhou Yu only kept Sun Quan in the county mansion, not being able to force a wounded person out was one aspect, and on the other hand, he must have considered this point.

Yu Zuoci acted first, and at the same time transferred Tai Shici to transport the coffin. This was the best way she could think of so far.

She spoke hastily, because she was nervous and vague, but Gan Ning immediately understood her intentions.

He acted meticulously, was quick in thinking, and had led his subordinates for several years. Naturally, he could have imagined that although the horrific bang at the gate of the city caused casualties that could not be compared with those in a fierce battle, Sun Ce's death would definitely have a negative effect on the morale of the army. huge impact.

He was just surprised that Li Mu was far inferior to his young man in terms of age and experience in leading troops. Not only could he see the impact of this incident on the morale of the army, but he could even think of using Zuo Ci to arouse his comrades. The heart of hatred is still at this moment when the mind is in chaos...

Gan Ning looked at her with a complicated expression, once again he realized that he had underestimated this thin young man, and he had to sigh that the father of the general family, how can there be a dog!

Bow down and give another salute, it has nothing to do with etiquette, but only for her decision: "The last general takes orders!"

After a ceremony, he asked again: "Then how should we respond if there are secret agents spreading lies in Xunyang City?"

Now that Zuo Ci could use this to shake people's hearts with his destiny, then think about how he can avoid the scouts in the army and come to find Yang from Wan County quietly. If there is no one in the army to respond, how can he succeed?

At this time, in Xunyang City, except for the soldiers and horses brought by Sun Ce, all Zhou Yu's troops belonged to the army.Gan Ning is a general from outside, so he can arrange patrols and set up defenses, but if he were to investigate and clean the soldiers in the army, it would inevitably cause even greater disturbances.

Li Mu was taken aback for a moment, she only thought about what to do outside Xunyang City, but never thought about any problems inside the city.Although Sun Ce died, Zhou Yu was still in the city, so nothing happened in the city.

After being mentioned by Gan Ning, she suddenly realized that her dependence on Zhou Yu had become a subconscious reaction...

Sighing, slowly clenched the hands hidden under the robe.As a human being in two lives, she has the courage to make immediate decisions and the courage to fight with all her strength, but she has never experienced such a predicament.Thinking of Zuo Ci once said that he came for Cao Cao, and that Cao Cao had scouts everywhere for him, he couldn't help but feel a headache.Thousands of thoughts seem to be piled up in front of him at the same time, and one thread affects the whole body. It is no longer a decision, and a military order can solve it.

As soon as the news of Sun Ce's death is made public, people will inevitably panic. At this time, if the investigation is carried out carefully, if the person cannot be found in time before the rumors of destiny and the like spread, Xunyang... will be in chaos!

"This matter...let me discuss it with Gongjin first. Don't...get confused..."

With a hasty bow to Gan Ning, Li Mu lifted the hem of his clothes and walked quickly into the county mansion.

This time, the soldiers did not stop her, nor did they communicate, just like the military order in Wancheng said, they let her go straight in.

Passing through the reception hall is Zhou Yu's residence.The guards outside the gate were heavily guarded, but once inside, there was not even a single soldier.Li Mu stopped in front of the door, called Gong Jin, and patted the door again.

However, after waiting for a while, there was no echo from inside.

"Gongjin?" She yelled again, with a strong hand, the door panel creaked and she pushed it open, but it was not latched.

The doors and windows were closed, and through the sunlight coming in from the door, Li Mu saw that the map that had been hanging on the shelf fell to the ground, and the bamboo slips and pens and ink were scattered all over the floor. Live between the eyebrows and remain motionless.

The moment Li Mu stepped into the door, he raised his head abruptly, his usually clear and bright eyes were full of bloodshot eyes, sharp as a blade, and as sharp as a knife.

Li Mu only felt that at a glance, his shoulders and chest seemed to be suddenly crushed by a huge rock, and he seemed to be slapped hard on the chest and back by a stormy wave. His breathing was stagnant, and even his heartbeat seemed to stop at this moment. One shot.

She had never seen Zhou Yu like this before—it seemed... his whole body had turned into a sharp blade that drank all the blood and chopped off all flesh and blood!

However, there was a large red mark on his forehead in the center of the brow, which was dazzling, as if he had just cried bitterly, and he didn't know how hard he had used when he pressed the brow just now.Comparing with the eyes full of fierceness, it looks like a ferocious beast that has been left alone and besieged, with red eyes, biting fiercely in panic and fear, no one can get close to it.

Li Mu only felt as if someone had tightly squeezed her heart. She clenched her fist so hard that her nails reached into her palm, and she clenched her teeth tightly, so she didn't turn around and escape under the gaze.

When listening to Zhang Zhongjing, Li Mu was only thinking about how to deal with the imminent crisis before him, but when he saw Zhou Yu at this time, the thought that he didn't dare to think about or think about deeply was like weeds and went crazy from his heart to his blood. to grow.

The beginning of the gunpowder came from her hand.She gave up halfway. Although she destroyed all the raw materials and the deformed copper furnace, she never thought that Zuo Ci, as a Taoist priest in alchemy, would naturally be able to reproduce what she did.

She scolded Zhou Yu for thinking too highly of herself, but she never thought that the person who really thinks too highly of herself is herself!

If it wasn't for her, how likely would Zuo Ci be to succeed in assassinating Sun Ce?

Qiangzi walked into the room step by step, bent down to pick up the bamboo slips, pens and inks, and put them back on the military case.He rolled up the map again and wanted to hang it back up, but compared on tiptoe, he found that he was not tall enough, so he put it on the side of the military case farther away from Zhou Yu.

Her gaze fell to Zhou Yu's face, and then she stared at the red mark on his forehead. She turned and went out, ran all the way to the kitchen to fetch water, took out a clean silk towel, soaked it and twisted it until it was half dry, ready to give it to him. Cover up.

Otherwise, Zhou Gongjin, who is dignified and dignified, will lose his elegant demeanor when he goes out to command the soldiers with the red mark on his forehead.

He kept stuffing things into his heart and didn't have time to wait for the water to boil. Li Mu only fetched cold water. He wanted to cover his red eyes and forehead, but when he squeezed the water, he suddenly felt that the water was too cold. In such a cold winter, covering his forehead so directly was afraid that it would give him a headache, so he turned his hand and pressed it directly on his face.

Zhou Yu was trapped in the memory of that life, desperate, heartbroken, but it seemed that his whole body was floating in the water, and layers of water waves slowly rippling away around him, isolating everything, and what he heard was only The indistinct sound of water flowing, as if someone was whispering, the mouth and nose were blocked, it was difficult to breathe, the chest was stuffy, and he couldn't break free no matter what.

Watching Li Mu push the door and come in, watching her roll up the bamboo slips and put them back, hearing her call "Gong Jin", Qing Zhi's long eyebrows frowned, as if a drowning person suddenly grabbed a bamboo slip. driftwood.

She hid behind the bushes and took off her undershirt to bandage his wound. In the sparse forest and under the sun, the bright undershirt was tied on her fair and slender body.She pursed her lips and stared angrily, not even a blood stain could hide her sharp gaze.Joy and anger, it seemed that every expression on his face was like a ray of sunshine, shining so brightly that he could barely open his eyes.There was also the softness of her lips and tongue when she grabbed his skirt and kissed him a few days ago. It was obviously an extremely rude gesture, but when she did it, it seemed to be covered with a layer of sunlight, making her eyebrows and eyes shine brightly. Bright, fresh hair fragrance mixed with the faint taste of rice porridge in the mouth, squinting, you can see the blush on the cheeks in front of you, breathing thinly.

He watched Li Mu's every move, but seemed to pass through her body, looking elsewhere, until his face suddenly turned cold, and then he "hissed" and turned his head away.

Li Mu kept avoiding his gaze, but now when he really turned his head away, he calmed down.

He simply tucked the hem of his clothes into his belt, moved his hands two steps, and chased after him. He turned his handsome face and met his fiery gaze: "Sun Ce's mourning hall has not yet been established, and the details of Xunyang have not yet been cleared. You are the chief general. If you want to be annoyed, hate, or be ruthless, you must first wipe your face and get over the immediate danger. If there is a mutiny in the army, and there is turmoil in the six counties, you will lose the Jiangdong foundation that Sun Ce worked so hard to build!"
