Asura Fields Everywhere in Soochow

"Gong Ji, now, I have something to do. It stems from my own private thoughts, which may have deviated from the expectations of my ancestors. But whenever I move my mind, I can hear my father's cursing in my ears, you My father's sigh, and the thumping of my ancestors' chests and feet. But I seem to have stepped into the quagmire with one foot, and the more I struggle, the deeper I sink, and it's too late to turn back..."

Lu Xun's voice was ethereal and distant, his eyes were flushed with tears rolling in them, flickering, trembling, fragile as if they would shatter when touched.

After saying what he said before, he took out a bow and arrow from behind and handed it to Lu Ji in front of him, "Maybe you can give me a hand now and erase my dirty thoughts, so that I don't have regrets Guilty to see the ancestors."

His eyes slid down from Lu Xun's face. The bow in front of him had a strong and smooth arm, and a straight and strong string. It was the one he used often.The tip of the arrow glowed cold white and sharp under the moonlight, piercing directly into Lu Ji's eyes, making him dizzy for a while.

The scene is too unfamiliar, and there is no clue about the cause and effect.After Lu Ji was in a trance, he suddenly realized that this was a dream again.He looked around, and the place was still the backyard of his house. The moonlit night and the pear tree in full bloom were no different from before. Lu Xun and him were sitting opposite each other under the tree.

Lu Ji was a little shocked. He didn't understand how difficult the choice was, and it would make Lu Xun choose to pay with his life.

However, before he could think about it, the self in the dream had already returned the bow and arrow to Lu Xun, and softly comforted him: "Go, what you want to do may not be really dirty. If the ancestors really want to blame, then It's also my permission, you don't need to feel guilty."

There are only these two lines of dialogue in this scene, and these two lines of dialogue almost flashed by in Lu Ji's long dream about Wu Jun and Yu Lin's trivial daily life.Because Lu Xun's performance in the dream was too unusual, he finally caught this abnormal conversation.

At the end of the scene, Lu Xun hesitantly took back the bow and arrow.The picture was frozen here, and Lu Ji finally failed to know what exactly Lu Xun did to deviate from his ancestors.

After waking up from the dream for a while, he opened his eyes, a ray of morning light came through the window, and the chirping of birds filled his ears.Turning over, just about to continue to sleep, but suddenly remembered that today is the day when Wujun Academy starts.

After washing, he walked to the front yard, and saw a willow tree with thick branches in the yard, and tender green sprouts grew from the wicker.Next to the willow tree is the kitchen, which is busy in full swing.

Such an ordinary picture has been repeated for countless lifetimes, Lu Jili suddenly felt stunned in the courtyard, and suddenly the voice in the front hall made him turn his head to look.

In the front hall with the door open, Lu Xun was talking with his entourage.He is now 16 years old, the youthful look on his face has dissipated, and the temperament of a superior is fully displayed.

Unlike the struggling Lu Xun in the dream, this Lu Xun in front of him is the one he is familiar with, the unsmiling and confident Lu Xun.Having experienced ups and downs in his youth, he took on the burden very early, so for him, there were very few "difficulties".

The relative Lu Bo who was talking to him was originally a distant relative of the Lu family. He was an old man who served Lu Ji's father Lu Kang, and now his beard and hair are all gray.When he bowed his head, he was respectful and humble, and he already regarded Lu Xun as the new master of the Lu family, "You have seen Yan Baihu's body in person, the more you think about it, the more you think about it, the vitality will be seriously injured. Wu County is thick, and General Zhu Zhizhu, who is now acting as the governor of the government, also Quite talented, it should be more than enough to resist this mob..."

So far, his words have no beginning or end.But combined with previous dreams and experiences in previous lives, Lu Ji was able to figure out what he meant.

——In the past few years, there have been frequent wars, and the people are in dire straits. It is rare for aristocratic families to be blessed if they do not recruit trilogy.But just maintaining the family is already at a loss, and it will be even more difficult to continue if they recruit a trilogy at this time.What Uncle Lu meant was that it would be better to rely on the Sun family with peace of mind than recruiting soldiers and buying horses, which takes a lot of effort and money.

For the current predicament, this is undoubtedly an easy solution, but Lu Xun was not moved by it. He said calmly: "Uncle Lu, do you remember that after we returned to Wu County, the prefect of Wu County changed?" How many? Chen Yu, Xu Gong, Zhu Zhi, those with or without edicts, whether they are Han officials or Han rebels, lead a team of soldiers, crowd the city wall, and plant a flag. The lord of a city. He is like a bandit, and he has studied for a few years. How can we rely on such a person?"

Pausing for a moment, probably recalling the past, his voice was filled with hatred, "What's more, Zhu Zhi is under Sun Ce, if it wasn't for Sun Ce's attack on the Lujiang River, how could my Lu family be like this?"

The Lujiang River has become an unforgettable pain for the Lu family. As soon as this is mentioned, the air becomes dead silent, and the sounds in the kitchen not far away are all horrifying.

After a long silence, Uncle Lu sighed and said, "The incident in Lujiang was tragic, and I dare not think about it. It's just that in troubled times, we can't care so much. We must live before we can think about anything else. Besides, you know, after the Yellow Turban Rebellion , Thieves are everywhere, Wu Jun's aristocratic family, which one still has the glory of the past? Yixue's family feud, glorifying the lintel, and benefiting future generations are not things that should be considered now."

Speaking of this, he deliberately excused Sun Ce, "It was difficult to tell right from wrong back then. After the death of General Sun Jian, what could Sun Lang do but rely on Yuan Shu as a thief? People... Hey, I can only sigh that God has no eyes. But looking at it now, Sun Lang and Yuan Shu have turned against each other, spent money and food to build the academy, repair the official house, and send the children of the family here, because he intends to make friends with us .According to my humble opinion, we can live in peace with Sun Ce and don't have to think about anything else."

"Even if he intends to befriend him, it's useless." Lu Xun still resolutely said, "Although he is brave, he turned against Yuan Shu, and he came from an unknown teacher when he went south. What is the difference between his identity and Yan Baihu? Besides, he has such an arrogant style of behavior. I'm afraid that I will end up like Yan Baihu in the end. Since he can't last long, it is impossible for me to entrust the future of the Lu family to him."

Lu Ji listened to the conversation between the two outside the house, thinking that Lu Xun's understanding of the situation and Sun Ce was not wrong, but he certainly didn't expect such an anomaly as Sun Wu.According to Sun Wu's plan, Sun Ce should be preserved in this life, so that he would not die early.

There was silence in the room for a while, and Lu Xun said again: "Father said that the honor and disgrace of the Lu family belong to me, and he didn't mean that I should hand over the fate of the Lu family to be manipulated by others. No matter who is in charge of Wu County, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, or others, In order not to become a pawn at the mercy of others, in order to avoid a rabbit being killed by a dog, you must not trust each other for a little sweetness. The current situation is difficult, but you and I must not slack off. I will personally handle the affairs of the trilogy, so you don’t have to worry .”

After Lu Xun finished speaking, he suddenly looked over the door and saw Lu Ji.

The two looked at each other, and Lu Xun was slightly surprised.It was only then that Lu Ji realized that he said "the situation is difficult", but his eyes were deep and firm, very calm, as if everything was under control.

Nodding to him slightly unfamiliar, Lu Ji suddenly remembered the dream in the morning, and thought of his frail and vicissitudes face in the dream, which was very different from the resolute and confident appearance now.

Lu Ji couldn't help wondering, what kind of problems did he encounter in the past?
