Outside Dantu City, the river is flowing.

A boy in plain clothes stood on an abandoned wooden boat.

Li Yinzhou almost ran over and shouted loudly under the boat: "Get down!"

Jiyan looked down at him, her disheveled hair dancing wildly in the river wind.

His elder brother shouted at the top of his lungs: "Death is not the answer. It is a coward's act to settle it once and for all. If you make a mistake, you must make up for it, not escape it."

On a sunny day in midsummer, strands of sunshine and rain emerge from the sky, densely intertwined into an inescapable net.

Jiyan reached out to catch a drop of rain.

"Gongji is a pure and innocent person. I poured dirty water on him, and so do you, brother." He looked at the long river, as if he was looking for the end of the river. After a while, he asked in a daze. , "If I survive, how will my brother deal with himself?"

Li Yinzhou was speechless for a moment.

He is not qualified to forgive him for Sun Quan, Sun Shangxiang, or everyone else.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Li Yinzhou stood on the bank of the river, feeling the furious waves hitting his heart one after another, making him almost unable to stand, "You know Gong Ji went the wrong way, why? Don't tell me? Why use this method?"

Hearing this, Ji Yankong's eyes fell on his face, and he asked him with a half-smile, half-cry, "Then why didn't elder brother tell me? I once asked elder brother."

The sound of rain will drown out the answer.

He didn't care, he just stared at Dantu's city gate from a distance, his eyes seemed to fall on the sickly young man through closed gates one after another.

Jiyan murmured in a low voice as if talking to herself: "Anything is fourty, ten is ten, just like black is black, and white is white. No matter how it looks, it will always be different."

He smiled and leaned back slightly.

With a bang, a deep vortex was smashed into the water surface, and it was covered by the rolling water in an instant.

……

The rain fell on the face bit by bit.

Li Yinzhou stood in the rain for a long time.

An umbrella was covered over his head at some point, and a warm voice came from behind: "Go back."

"It's because I didn't discipline him well." Li Yinzhou looked at the vast rain curtain, and his voice was empty and lonely, "I always thought that he was sensible, he was simple, and I often left him at home alone, letting him grow up alone. I think he still has Gong Ji, but I refuse to tell him about Gong Ji."

The distant and deep eyes of the young man suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

On the day of the banquet, he only cared about Lu Ji's illness,

But he didn't see the bleeding from Ji Yan's heart.

"He lost his family when he was three years old. I wanted to give him a stable environment and keep him away from hatred and disputes." Ten years of time came like a wind, blurring and messing up the rain-drenched vision. In his memories, the three-year-old raised his head and asked him ignorantly—"What if grandma misses Ayan?"

Drop after drop of rain slid down the corners of the bright red eyes and landed on the heart.

Li Yinzhou suddenly missed Zhang Ji very much.

"I'm not a good person. My master taught me how to be a good doctor. Ah Yan was originally a blank sheet of paper. It was me..."

He burst into tears: "I didn't teach him to take responsibility."

The people behind him quietly heard him cry bitterly.

It wasn't until he was hoarse and unable to cry, that he said softly: "When I was five years old, I lost my parents, and my grandfather took me to Lujiang."

It seemed that the scabbed wound had been torn open again, revealing bloody memories, which made people unbearable to look at at a glance.

Lu Xun's voice was as light as the clouds behind the swan geese.

"At that time, I hated him very much. When the other children were still sleeping, I was called up to read by him. When the other children were studying, I had already started to learn how to be a director. I was even jealous of Gu Shao. Why can he do it? Carefree, because he has a father and I don't?"

The warm and cool breath fluttered against his ears, and the heavy rain washed away his perennial disguise, revealing his bottomless heart under the ice floes.

His gentle voice hides the frightening Leng Feng: "You all think that I am humble and gentle, but who knows that I also have thoughts of killing people?"

Li Yinzhou's eyes were blank, as if there were tens of thousands of words stuck in his throat, but he couldn't utter a single word.

"Actually, I also hid my selfishness about the Lujiang incident. I even wanted to use the general's hand to take revenge on my grandfather." Speaking of Lu Kang, his eyelashes wet by the heavy rain flickered slightly. Talk to grandpa, maybe there will be a better way, even if there is no better way, it won't make him bear it alone for so many years."

"No." Li Yinzhou turned his head suddenly. He wanted to say that it wasn't your fault. You were just a child at that time, but when his gaze touched his calm eyes, his heart that was drenched by the rain seemed to calm down for the time being.

He fell silent and listened to him continue.

The bright light pierced through the cold rain, like the light and shade intertwined by smoke and war. Lu Xun stared at the river going east from a distance, and vaguely saw Lu Kang's figure on the smoke waves.

He looked at it reluctantly for a long time.

up to the eyelashes

Unable to hold the rain, a large drop of water rolled down in a blink of an eye. When I opened my eyes, only the waves remained in my clear vision.

But he saw the river farther away: "But in this troubled world, how many people can live a happy life? If I regret it all my life, what is the sacrifice of my grandfather? I thought I could change it alone. The fate of the family and the people, but I can't do anything. The general is the same, we are all mortals, and we all have things beyond our power, but you are right, geese flock, and then we have a direction."

He handed the umbrella to Li Yinzhou.

A warm body temperature remains on the bone handle.

He said: "If it must rain on this road, I would rather make an umbrella, at least it can protect the square inch."

……

When we returned to the barracks again, the rain had stopped, and there were small puddles on the muddy road, reflecting the overlapping military tents.

"You go to rest first." Lu Xun took him to the couch and helped him wipe the rain off his face.

He is very used to this kind of action, probably because he used to take care of Lu Ji before, so he did it familiarly and normally.

Li Yinzhou grabbed his wrist: "What are you going to do?"

Jiangdong has only been integrated for a year, and the situation in the four directions is not stable. To a large extent, their peaceful life depends on Sun Ce's personal deterrence against the ring-feeding wolves.Now that Sun Ce has passed away, his subordinates will definitely choose another lord.

Sun Quan was unpopular, but his younger brother, Sun Xu, made great achievements at a young age. According to the temperament of these generals, they would rather choose a fighter who can fight than Sun Quan who has a farther vision.

Although Ji Yan's words were heartbreaking, they were true. Others might not believe that Lu Ji had repented, and even Lu Xun and Sun Quan had become wolf ambitions.

Lu Xun looked at his flickering eyes lightly: "When Gongjin comes, Mr. Zhang has suppressed the matter of the general. The only people who know about it are the father and son of the Ling family, young master, Mr. Zhang, Ah Xiang and you and me."

Li Yinzhou still wanted to ask, but he heard Lu Xun say: "You rest first, today is not the end, tomorrow starts, it is a tough battle."

……

Zhou Yu and Lu Su arrived in Dantu three days later.

For such a long distance, Li Yinzhou couldn't imagine how they rushed all the way here, but there was not much sadness on Zhou Yu's tired face.

He straight to the point put forward his proposal: "Keep it secret, the lord was injured while patrolling the mountains and encountered a bandit, and he is recuperating from his injuries. After a hundred days, we will announce the news of his death."

Li Yinzhou clenched his hands tightly. If it was someone else, even if it was Sun Quan who said this, they would not be as thin as Zhou Yu said, so thin that there was no trace of emotion.

Zhou Yu

Turning his face to him, he glanced at him lightly, as if to see through his mind, suddenly drew his sword out of its sheath, and landed on the opponent's neck with a whoosh.

The silver bright sword flashed with a real killing intent: "If you dare to speak out, I will kill you right now."

A touch of red tassels floated by, but it was Ling Cao who deflected Zhou Yu's sword.

Ling Cao said solemnly: "Has Zhou Lang ever thought that by covering up the news of the general's death like this, his posthumous reputation will also be ruined. They will say that he is too reckless, that he is too arrogant, and that he is not worthy of his name. You have to just watch." Is the enemy happy?"

Zhou Yu stared deeply at the familiar red-tasseled spear, and remained silent.

Standing in the shadow of guns and swords, Li Yinzhou suddenly admired Sun Ce very much. He has the ability and charm to make people with disagreeable tempers submissive and stay under his command, and now...

He settled down, walked to Sun Quan's side, and suddenly said loudly: "I will listen to the young master."

Zhou Yu turned to look at Sun Quan.

With a cold and critical look.

For Sun Ce's younger brother, he is a gentle elder brother, but for Jiangdong's future lord, he will not show any partiality.

Sun Quan met Zhou Yu's scrutinizing gaze, and his eyes condensed a little bit: "Gong Jin is right, we must hide it."

Ling Cao tightened the gun.

But Lu Xun gently grabbed his wrist: "The young master is in charge now."

Ling Cao sneered, lowered his head and wiped the gun irritably, his fingers landed on the red tassels, and then combed them lightly with reluctance.

Zhang Zhao asked lightly, "Why?"

Sun Quan clenched his fists tightly, and there was a cold light in his eyes: "Once the news of my brother's death spreads, enemies from all directions will attack, and the morale of the army will be low. Dangerous, defense lines must be deployed. And..."

He paused, his tone became colder, and he almost gritted his teeth: "How did those three disciples sneak into Dan's disciples? Who was the one who deliberately stirred up the cum at the banquet in the past? Chen Deng must be behind them for advice, and Chen Deng may not be there. That would be mind-boggling."

Ling Cao's fingers stiffened suddenly, and he raised his head suddenly, his eagle-like eyes seemed to be facing an abyss, full of danger.

"It turned out that Xudu was guarded by such low-handed means."

Lu Su, who had been silent all this time, spoke out at this moment: "In war, there is only superiority in strategy, there is no difference in character, general, don't be impulsive."

Ling Cao was splashed with cold water, and his eyes became more fierce: "What if we take Xudu at this time?"

There was silence.

In terms of military strength, the current Xudu is indeed inferior to Dantu. The battle of Guandu is in full swing, and Cao Cao has no chance at all.

Have time to review Xu Du.

"No."

Li Yinzhou raised his head in astonishment, but saw a trace of tension in Sun Quan's frowning eyes, his eyes lingered on Li Yinzhou for a moment, and suddenly became cold and tough.

He said: "I don't have the military power like my brother, so I can't take Xudu. If I attack rashly, I will only lose my troops. The most important thing now is not to get ahead, but to deploy the defense line, and..."

His gaze missed Lu Xun's quiet face: "In the family, there must be someone colluding with Cao Ying. My brother used to be ruthless, but now I am fish and meat. We must first eliminate internal strife, and then quell external troubles."

Lu Xun lowered his eyes indifferently: "It's inferior and incompetent."

"It's not too late to make up for it now." He walked quickly to the middle of everyone's eyes, and looked at Zhou Yu with his head raised: "I will discuss with Boyan about the aristocratic family, and Lao Zhanggong and Gongjin are in the army for the time being. Give an order that no one is allowed to enter your brother's camp, and you will temporarily take care of all matters, big or small. Zijing is here to tell me the current situation of the deployment of troops, as for General Ling."

He finished speaking without dragging his feet, and his tone became even more stern: "If someone leaks the news, I don't mind finding someone to bury my brother with him."

Ling Cao was intimidated for a moment, and then unconvinced, he pointed his gun at Li Yinzhou: "This gentleman has always been capricious. He was brought by the young master. Can I move?"

Li Yinzhou knew that Ling Cao had always been a man of chivalry, and he was also one of Sun Ce's trusted aides who planted beside Sun Quan, but today he picked on Sun Quan several times, just because he was vaguely unwilling in his heart.

He refused to believe that anyone could replace Sun Ce.

Li Yinzhou suddenly understood what Lu Xun said——

This is a tough battle, and the opponent is none other than Sun Ce's most loyal subordinates.

The author has something to say: In fact, what I admire most about Lu Xun is that he is still a bright person despite countless misfortunes

In "Three Kingdoms", only he and Zhuge Liang were biographed by ministers alone.

This is a dark era, but there are always people who are willing to turn themselves into flames. I think Mr. Chen Shou should respect him for this reason.

As for Jiyan, he will go to the end of history and spend the rest of his life to atone for his sins.

His reason is to protect Lu Ji, but there is also a reason for paranoia, because he himself is an unfortunate person, and his attitude towards misfortune is completely opposite to that of Lu Xun, so he has a different fate.
