Inside the carriage, Zixuan was looking out, as if he was thinking about something, when Kongming spoke out, "Zixuan, you have helped me many times, and there is nothing I can do to repay the kindness."
"Mister, you're being too serious. I just want to make friends with Mister, that's all." Kongming was also a hero in the world. In the future, he would definitely become someone great, and if he was able to make friends like him, it would not be a wasted trip.
The coachman replied, "Mr. Yankees has arrived."
"Sir, here is a letter for you." After saying that, Zixuan and Kongming got off the car. After sending off Jun Qianli, he had no choice but to leave.
"Teacher, I won't send you off then. I'm sure you'll be moved." He wanted to give it back to Zixuan, but the carriage was long gone. After looking carefully, he could see that there was a plum blossom embroidered on it, it was blooming in a rich purple color.
Looking at Zixuan's leaving figure, Kongming took a long time to regain his senses, and quickly reached the river bank to reunite with Zhao Yun. Back on the ship, Kongming remembered the letter Zixuan gave him and opened it.
When the king wills the west to enter the river, I will return to the east to the Wu. The king is willing to be the official of the Han, and I am the general of Wu. The two brothers are wounded. [Previous Chapter] [Table of Contents]
Zixuan had already made it clear that Kongming was his close friend and confidant, but in his heart, he still did not trust anyone. Furthermore, Kongming was also not like that, it was just that the two of them served different lords, it would be very difficult for them to chat anymore. This was probably their last meeting, so in the future, they would definitely meet on the battlefield.
Returning to the camp and playing the zither as usual, he told the soldier to put the horse carriage at the entrance. On the other side, Lv Meng went back to report to the Great Governor, "The Great Governor, Zhuge Liang disappeared without a trace after he left the altar. When he arrived at the edge of the Yanzi River, he had already been picked up by a fast boat.
The person who picked him up is Zhao Yun, I have investigated and found out that the fast boat was already waiting by the river for three days. "
Zhou Yu clenched his teeth, and heavily smashed the sword in his hand onto the ground, "Kongming, everything happened before me, if he doesn't die, I won't be able to rest at ease day and night."
Lv Meng told Zhou Yu everything he saw, and did not hide anything, "Lieutenant General, I saw someone on the way."
Zhou Yu asked: Who?
"Zixuan."
Hearing this answer, Zhou Yu did not respond, "I understand, you can go now!"
"Okay."
Zhou Yu was a little suspicious, could it be that Zixuan had let Zhuge Liang go, but he did not know the reason behind it. He could not suppress the anger in his heart.
At night, when Zhou Yu passed by Zixuan's camp, he saw a horse carriage and immediately understood.
Walking into Zixuan's tent, he drew out his sword. A treasure sword flashed with a cold light, aimed straight at Zixuan's throat, and asked.
"Yes." Zixuan calmly replied.
This was not the first time Zhou Yu threatened him with his sword, so he was not afraid.
"Why did you do that? "Why?" It roared furiously, and at this moment, hated Zixuan to the bone.
Zixuan explained, "We can't kill Zhuge Liang." He didn't know why, but he couldn't let him die here. He wanted to do his best to protect him from harm.
"Why can't you give me a reason?" Zixuan couldn't think of a reason for this at the moment, and he didn't know why he would do such a thing either.
"Because we are allies against the traitor Cao Cao."
"Zhuge Liang is a great enemy of my Dong Wu, how dare you? Did you forget what you said when you first came to Jiang Dong? " When Zixuan first came to the Jiang Dong, he wanted to make them believe him, so he said to Sun Quan — Zixuan would definitely do his best, be loyal to the Dong Wu, be loyal to the nation …
"Lieutenant General, I have not forgotten that I am fulfilling my promise." Zhou Yu asked: "Are you doing all this for the Dong Wu?" Zixuan corrected him, "Lieutenant General, we are all Chinese officials, we should be loyal to the Han Dynasty. Cao Cao is a traitor, we have to go together with Liu Wei Cao."
Zhou Yu understood that Zixuan was not the same as them, "So that's how it is, cough cough, you should go." Zixuan was still very concerned about Zhou Yu, "Regional Commander."
Zhou Yu pushed Zixuan away and said: "Come on, cough cough, I don't want to see you." Zixuan became more serious and gently asked: "Gongjin, are you serious? I'll take a look for you."
"It's none of your business."
Zixuan was a little anxious, "How can I not care that you're my big brother?"
Zhou Yu laughed coldly: "You're still treating me as your big brother, I thought you had already forgotten about me! "Let's go, the war is about to start."
"No."
"This is a military order! A military order like a mountain!" When these words were spoken, there was no room for rebuttal. There was no room for negotiation.
Seeing that Zhou Yu was using the military order to suppress him, Zixuan could only agree, "Big brother, take care of yourself."
"I will wait for your triumphant return from Jian Kang." Zixuan left, without even sending him off, he went back home alone, it looked like Sun Quan was also planning to kill him, as though everything that happened under the heavens had nothing to do with me, as if everything that happened to him had nothing to do with me, and the only thing in my heart was to take revenge, to kill Cao Cao Cao, I could pay any price to do so.
After the war, the Dong Wu adopted the policy of resting. Zixuan naturally had nothing better to do, so he went to Lu Su's residence. Lu Su had been an official for many years, but this house was just too simple and crude.
Hearing that Lu Su was often helping the war veterans, it seemed like his words were groundless, and in a short period of time, Zixuan had met him. Lu Su's face was a little tired, it seems like he was really worried about the Sun and Liu Family seizing the South Prefecture after the war.
Zixuan said to Lu Su: "Zijing, I have a request." His tone of voice had changed a lot. It was no longer as domineering as it usually was, and now there was an additional hint of pleading. Presumably, this matter was very important to him.
Lu Su said sincerely, "Zixuan, if there's anything you want to say, just say it."
Zixuan opened his mouth but it was still hard to say, so he pulled Zijing to the side and whispered: "Zijing, tomorrow I will be 20, my family members died early, and there are not many people in Dong Wu who want to be on good terms with me, I originally wanted to ask Gongjin to help out with my coming of age ceremony, but he has not returned home for a long time, and I have to trouble Zijing to help me with the matters here."
The coming of age ceremony, was usually prepared with the help of their own clan's elders, but Zixuan no longer had any elders, so it was clear how much Zixuan trusted him when he handed over such an important matter to him. Zijing also agreed straightforwardly, "Alright, I will make use of this time tomorrow."
The next day, Zixuan woke up early. Before dawn, there was already someone knocking on the door. Who could it be? Zixuan personally went to open the door, and knocked. It was Zhou Yu.
"Lieutenant General, aren't you at war? Why did you suddenly return? "
Zhou Yu immediately covered his mouth, "Shh, come with me." Zixuan and Zhou Yu got onto the carriage, and Lv Meng helped them to get on the carriage.
They came to the mountain and stopped there. Zixuan got off the car, and was extremely afraid, because he had clashed with Zhou Yu a while ago. Could he be looking for a deserted place to kill them? Although Zixuan was considered strong in martial arts, if Zhou Yu and Lv Meng were to cooperate, Zixuan's defeat would be guaranteed. Just as he was thinking this, Zhou Yu also got off the car.
Zixuan did not understand his intention, but he was still very concerned with Zhou Yu, "Lieutenant General, are you alright?" Zixuan asked in concern.
In the past few days, Zhou Yu's pretty face also became pale, her hair was a little messy, and her eyes were a little swollen. Seems like she had not slept well recently.
Lv Meng thought, the more he thought, the more scared he became. Right now, it was impossible for him to run, so he could only take a step at a time, Zhou Yu slowly untied the backpack, and inside it was a hat, which Zixuan was even more confused than before.
Zhou Yu said indifferently, but her tone was extremely gentle, like an old father who had watched his son grow up, "Zixuan, I didn't forget, today is your big day, you have reached adulthood, and will be an adult in the future. No one will call you a yellow haired brat anymore.
Lv Meng stood at the side and looked on with gratitude, "That's right, the Capital came back just for you, and didn't sleep well for a few nights." Zhou Yu untied Zixuan's tied up hair, and her black hair hung down naturally. When Lv Meng saw this, he cried out: "Zixuan, you're a woman?"
Zhou Yu was startled at first, but in the next second he pretended to be angry, "Zi Ming, you dared to insult me, I am indeed a man." As he said that, he grabbed Zhou Yu's hand and placed it on his throat. There was a Adam's apple on his throat.
Zixuan also continued to explain, "Ah, there's no way that my parents would give me this kind of skin, who else can I complain about? "Maybe I'll be the second Zhang Liang?"
With that, he faced the sky and laughed, temporarily alleviating the awkward situation. Zhou Yu continued to hold the coming of age ceremony for Zixuan, he coiled up Zixuan's hair, and then helped him put on his hat.
"Zixuan, I've done what I promised you. I should leave now." Once he had boarded the carriage, Zixuan pulled Lv Meng to the side and warned him, "Zi Ming, has the overseer's cough been getting worse recently?"
Lv Meng's face was filled with worry, but he could do nothing about it, "Sigh, the general always coughs, and sometimes he can even cough all night."
Zixuan laughed, "It's alright, it's fine. From today onwards, you will instruct the doctor to boil some water with licorice root. The licorice root is sweet and light and is beneficial to stopping coughing. When Zi Ming heard this, he knelt down on one knee and said gratefully to Zixuan, "Thank you for telling me." With that, he drove the carriage away, and Zixuan looked at their leaving figures, and bowed deeply.
No one would care about Zixuan this much. Besides his master, senior sisters, Fufeng was the number one person, and Zixuan respected him a lot as he viewed Zhou Yu as his close friend.
When he returned, it was already noon. Zijing was sitting in the hall waiting for him, but when he was happy, he stayed for a while longer, and forgot about his agreement with Lu Su. Seeing Zixuan return with his hat, Lu Su was very surprised, and asked: "Zixuan, this is …"
"Yes, the Great Governor helped me."
"Gongjin, you're back?"
"No, I just came back in the middle of the night to hold the coronation ceremony for me. Sorry, Zijing, I caused you to waste so much time for nothing."
"I'm fine." Zijing left. He did not understand why Gongjin treated Zixuan so well, so he did not ask.
A few months later, the great war started in Red Cliff, and in the end, Dong Wu won. Cao Cao was beaten back to Xu Chang, only Cao Ren remained to guard South Prefecture, and was ultimately taken away by Liu Bei.
