When the words settled down, Li Yinzhou almost blurted out and asked, "Which prefect Gu?"

Is it the old Gu Yong, or... Gu Shao?

The servant's face was like gold paper, his lips were rustled, it took him a long time to understand, and he replied stammeringly: "It's Governor Gu of Yuzhang County."

Yuzhang is a large county bordering the east and west of the river, bordering Jiangxia, Changsha, and Guiyang on the left, and facing Liu Jun. Its dual status in geography and military can be imagined.In the past, the prefect had been named under the name of his clan grandson who was less than ten years old, but in fact, Sun Quan took charge of it himself, and it was only after the First World War in Chibi that he was solemnly handed over to Gu Shao for management.

In the middle of the year, Liu Bei took the Yizhou animal husbandry himself, and the limelight became stronger.The humble attitude of being willing to be a subordinate was swept away, and the attitude towards Sun Quan was not as humble as in the past.

At this time, Gu Shao, who lives in Yuzhang County, is seriously ill?

Is it a coincidence, or a trick?

The servant waited for a while without seeing Mr. Li speaking, and looked over carefully, only to see that the end of the swallow-like eyes was as narrow as a dagger, and something had clearly changed in the eyes.But if you take a closer look, you have already calmed down, only remaining gentle and calm, so calm and calm, it makes people calm and calm, without surprise.

Li Yinzhou lowered his eyes, turned his back to Zhang Ji and wrote casually: "Master, I have some things to go out."

Zhang Ji glanced at him, but clearly read solemnity from that tranquility.

He slowly flipped through the next page of the book and said, "Go early and come back early."

--------------

Traveling all the way by boat to the territory of Yuzhang, thousands of mountains covered with white frost flowers passed by, and the wet and cold mountains overflowed into the river bank, locking the scenery on both sides of the river into mist.

In such a foggy and icy winter day, even the mountains and rivers fell into a deathly silence.The more you get to the main city, the more you feel a strange sense of tranquility—the twelfth lunar month of winter is both the end of the year and the beginning of the new year. Even the remote countryside like Haichang is already bustling with activity. Why is it that such an important county as Yuzhang is so silent that there are no celebrations or sacrificial activities?

Li Yinzhou narrowed his eyes, cast his eyes directly on the shivering servant in front of him, and asked him straightforwardly: "What did Xiao Ze do to make the people of a county shrink back? This is not like what Yuzhang County used to be like."

The servant saw that the city gate of Yuzhang was looming in the distance, so he let go of his hanging heart and revealed the truth: "Sir, I don't know that the local people believe in gods and Buddhas, and they have held sacrificial activities very grandly in previous years. Even General Sun doesn't care much. Since the prefect took office, he has demolished all the temples of gods and Buddhas one by one! Not to mention that the common people are not allowed to perform sacrifices. Not to mention, there have been rumors in the Lushan Temple since ancient times. Lord Lushan, how can we dismantle it? Also, there are some gossips, saying that the prefect offended Lord Lushan, and now he has this serious illness."

Although he said it in a vague way, as a person who has experienced it personally, Li Yinzhou naturally knows that the so-called "sacrifice" is not just a simple and lively scene.

Even Sun Quan didn't like to deal with the problem openly, but this Gu Xiaoze would tear it down as soon as he said it, which is really aggressive.

Li Yinzhou sneered, pure and kind, upright and courageous, wise as immature, Young Master Gu still has the same temper as before.

The servant didn't know what Mr. Li was laughing at, but he was afraid that he also despised Gu Shao's impulsive behavior, and hurriedly argued for his master: "The prefect has done a lot of things in the past few years since he took office. The family can't take care of it, and the local people say that he is more diligent than a bullock cart, and loves the people more than Dayu! The people love him after all."

Since Gu Shao took office in Yuzhang, the sharp pen edge of his youth has been worn away a lot. For many years, no sharp articles have been handed down to the world. Even Li Yinzhou did not expect that a person who was determined to read would abandon his books and focus on people's livelihood. .

It's really worthy of the love of growing up together, Sun Quan's employment is not ingenious.

He smiled noncommittally at the servant, indicating that he had heard about it.

The light boat passed the pier, and the two disembarked in the white mist, changed horses, entered the city gate and galloped all the way to the prefect's mansion.

The mansion was very lively.

The gloomy clouds covered the winter sun, casting a gray shadow on the ground. Li Yinzhou's footsteps stopped slightly at the door of Gu Shao's room, listening to what was arguing inside.

"The prefect's illness was caused by the Lushan Lord. The Lushan Lord is a god who is in charge of disasters and fortunes. How can the prefect cut off his incense and cut off his oil and rice? According to someone's opinion, Gu Gong only needs to rebuild the Lushan Temple and enter the temple. Offer incense, sincerity will lead to spirit, and misfortune will surely go away.”

The person who said this sounded like a bad old man, and Li Yinzhou could imagine the scene of pretending to be a ghost, sprinkling water and lighting a cigarette without opening his eyes.

He stopped the servant's anxious expression with a glance, and there was a little interest in his eyes: "Listen."

The servant didn't say anything, and only listened to his eunuch supporting the sick and disabled body, and replied weakly and forcefully: "If you are a god and Buddha, you will not benefit the common people, but you will be worshiped by the common people. If you don't hold him, you will kill your life. Such a god and Buddha How is it different from bandits? Evil does not overwhelm righteousness, disease does not invade me, and you are famous all over the world in vain, but you are nothing but a mediocre person who shuts your eyes and listens! Cough cough... I will not punish your crime, you go on your own. "

Then came the sound of fleeing footsteps.

Ask Gu Taishou to preach like this, how can these witch doctors hold their face?

When he passed by Li Yinzhou, he saw that he was wearing a green shirt, his eyes were calm, and there was a faint fragrance of medicine all over his body, so he knew that he was in the same company, even though he couldn't guess who it was, he couldn't help throwing a "Brother take care" compassionate eyes.

Li Yinzhou's expression was neither warm nor arrogant, he just nodded and turned sideways, letting him out of the way.

Waiting for the people in the room to walk away in a clear and spacious way, Fang Kuo walked forward.

Gu Shao was bored in the quilt, so he got angry. He heard two footsteps, and lowered his voice impatiently: "What's the matter? I didn't hear..."

The door slammed to interrupt his words, and a thin light accompanied by a silhouette of Qinghao spread into the fainting room.

Carrying the medicine box, Li Yinzhou walked up to Gu Shao's eyes without haste, and sat down in front of Gu Shaowei's dilated pupils: "What did Prefect Gu say? You are listening carefully."

Gu Shao swallowed his anger immediately, drooping his eyelashes sickly: "cough cough...why is it so cold, cough."

The servant had an idea, closed the door knowingly and left.

Li Yinzhou slowly clasped Gu Shao's wrist, his expression faded amidst his increasingly guilty expression, and he raised his hand to wipe his pale lips, with a touch of fingertips, a finger of fine flour was stained.

Unconsciously rubbing his thumbs in distaste: "Magistrate Gu wants to pretend to be sick and why not invite someone to help cover it up?"

Gu Shao laughed out loud: "Didn't you invite Mr. Li?"

As the two of them lie down and sit, Li Yinzhou can easily see traces of the vicissitudes of time from these familiar eyes, but the 30-year-old Gu Taishou is still like a thirteen-year-old boy, doing childish things.

Li Yinzhou glanced at him: "What is it for this time?"

Gu Shao simply didn't hide it, sat up from the head of the bed, wanted to speak but stopped brewing for a while, finally just pinched his forehead, and said dejectedly: "Aru wants to marry me."

"Cough..." This time it was Li Yinzhou who was actually choking and coughing.

Gu Shao's eyes showed a sense of grievance: "It's not something I was born with. I watched her grow up, and I always loved her like a niece. How could I think of her... Granny Sun's temper... I know, I have no choice but to make a bad move, Ah Yin, the lord is the most unreliable, only you can help me."

Li Yinzhou looked at him in disbelief.

It was not a surprise that Sun Ru wanted to marry him, but it was beyond his expectation that he pretended to be dead every now and then. He couldn't help being stunned for a moment, took a deep breath helplessly, and asked, "You really don't want to marry her?"

Gu Shao nodded, and there was a faint sense of disappointment in his dumbfounding eyes: "Aru is the niece of the lord after all. She has such a high status, how can she be inferior to others? I am ashamed enough to be against Sister Lu, and I can't raise my eyebrows." , the only thing that can be given to her is the respect of the mistress. What's more, Aru is only twenty, she is impulsive, if she really marries me, she will miss her life."

Li Yinzhou didn't expect Gu Shao to think so far. Lenovo's old lady has always been a good person, so it's not impossible to act a dove occupying a magpie's nest for her own granddaughter.

Ben's eyes, which were still watching the play, also faded a little, and he tapped his knuckles lightly on the palm of his hand, and after a while he made up his mind: "You really want to hide it from the lord? Does Boyan know?"

Gu Shao avoided his eyes uncomfortably, and said in a low voice: "My lord is busy with everything, so you don't have to worry about my life. You don't have to worry about Bo Yan. Sister Lu brought the child back to Kuaiji County. I have already asked her to explain to my father and the others." .”

Even if he doesn't say anything, these two people are so smart that they can't hide it.

Li Yinzhou thought for a moment, then couldn't help but look at him deeply, and questioned him silently with his eyes.

What about Ah Xiang?

Gu Shao didn't shy away from it, and his eyes were clear and calm: "She knows me and understands me just like you, and like me, she is not afraid of life or death."

……

Within three days, news of Gu Shao's death spread throughout Wu.

As the servant said, although the people complained about his measures to get rid of bad habits and improve customs, they still respected and loved him, just as they once loved and respected his grandfather and his father.

The elegiac couplets are almost spread across the long street, replacing the red splendor of the new year, like snow all over the city.

The funeral was extremely grand, almost all the family members went to Yuzhang, and countless frontline soldiers came to see him off.There was an endless stream of mourning boats, coming one by one from the fog-locked river, covering the entire river bank.

Although the news of Gu Shao's death was fabricated by himself, those remembrances are all sincere. Looking at the city below from a height facing the wind, the cold wind lingers around his neck, and the coolness penetrates deep into his bones.

Li Yinzhou knows very well that today is a fake, but one day it will come true.In this troubled world, people are used to meeting occasionally during farewell, waiting for their own last feast.

The wind is rustling.

Snow is falling all over the sky, frost is falling all over the city, and the river is cold.

The white curtain of the bamboo hat was lifted away, revealing a pair of reddish eyes, and Gu Shao's voice was a little erratic in the wind: "It is a rare adventure to be able to see my funeral with my own eyes."

Li Yinzhou looked down at the boats all over the river, and only nodded slightly.

……

In the spring of the following year, Sun Quan mobilized [-] troops and marched west to Jingzhou.

Liu Bei was still in Chengdu, and when he heard the shocking news, he couldn't help asking, "Where did the soldiers go?"

The soldier delivering the letter trembled and almost cried: "The Wu army is approaching Changsha, Guiyang, and Lingling counties. I don't know when the army was organized, but they came here directly! My lord, what should I do?"
