Asura Fields Everywhere in Soochow

After Lu Ji arrived in Jiangxia, he was placed in Lu Xun's mansion.

Lu Xun is in Chaisang, and he has a heavy responsibility. Now Lu Ji is the only owner of the huge courtyard.But because old friends from the Lu family came to visit, the first two days did not feel deserted.It was lively for two days, and on the third day, when the old people dispersed, he heard the porter report Zhou Yu's visit.

"I deliberately staggered with others, so I came two days late." Sitting opposite, Zhou Yu said, "Besides, there may be some things that shouldn't be heard by others."

Lu Ji wore a light blue silk skirt, and his posture was leisurely and calm, neither humble nor overbearing, "According to my status, I should have visited you, so I troubled you to make this trip. This is my negligence."

Waving his hands, Zhou Yu chuckled and said, "I'm just here to pass on a message to you, in case you'll be too worried if you hear it from other places—Ah Wu is confined at home, if you want to see her these days, I'm afraid you won't be able to see her... ..."

Noticing the slight change in Lu Ji's expression, Zhou Yu comforted him again: "It's just a small matter, she will come out naturally in a few days."

Lu Ji felt relieved, poured tea for him, and said, "Thank you for letting me know."

Zhou Yu took the tea, looked at him for a long time, and then said after some thinking: "You and I talked a lot with each other when we parted last time, and now we know each other's roots. So this time, I also want to share with you Say a few words with your heart."

Hearing his real intention of coming, Lu Ji sat down, raised his eyes and listened to what he said quietly.

"I naturally understand your tactful thoughts, but now you sit in front of me like this, I can't help but feel a pity - with your identity, bearing, and knowledge, if you put all your heart on love, it would be a waste... "

Lu Ji immediately understood what he meant, and said with a smile: "Since I agreed to come to Jiangxia, I must be ready to work for you. I will not refuse if I can."

——Lu Ji has a keen understanding of the situation, and his father Lu Kang is a well-known loyal minister of the Han Dynasty.Perhaps the energy is limited, but at this time the Soochow regime, which is not justified, needs his support.

Zhou Yu nodded, and said: "It's best if you understand, but other than that, I'm just trying to persuade you. Your love for her has lasted for so long. If you still put all your heart on love, you will inevitably be a prisoner." , Worrying about gains and losses. Why don’t you divide your mind and do something else, calm your mind, and maybe it can help you give it a go.”

Lu Ji lowered his head sadly, he has been in a difficult situation - he probably only has one chance to express his love, let Sun Wu know that he remembers the past, it is likely to make her angry.However, if she didn't say anything, she would never realize that their relationship could never go any further.

He also wanted to divide his mind and do something else, but there was nothing that could hold his energy.

Zhou Yu had a panoramic view of his reaction and figured out the general idea.His kindness can only be limited to the end, and he can't do anything extra.

He quickly changed the subject, chatted with Lu Ji for a while, and before leaving, he mentioned again: "I will hold a banquet in the mansion during the Mid-Autumn Festival, if you are free, why not come together."

With a little gratitude, Lu Ji readily agreed.

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lu Xun had not returned yet, so Lu Ji went to the banquet alone.

When the lanterns first came on, Zhou Yu's mansion was already full of people.Because of his past life memories, he recognized all the people in the hall, Zhang Zhao, Lu Su, Yu Fan, Gu Yong, Zhuge Jin... Besides these colleagues, there was also a person who surprised him, Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang was younger than he remembered, he sat in the crowd calmly, and feasted with these Eastern Wu civil servants with a smile on his face.

For Lu Ji, this scene was quite strange.

Because in his memory, Zhuge Liang had the most contact with Zhuge Liang. As Liu Bei's envoy, Zhuge Liang came to Chaisang to persuade Sun Quan and Liu Bei to join forces to fight against Cao Cao who was about to go south.

In my memory, the friendship between Zhuge Liang and everyone in Soochow was not so pleasant.Except for Zhou Yu, Lu Su and Zhuge Liang who agreed, at that time most of the civil servants of the Eastern Wu agreed to surrender to Cao Cao, so he fought against the Confucians in the hall, and almost all the civil servants of the Eastern Wu were offended.

At this time, Yu Fan, who had been stunned speechless in his memory, toasted Zhuge Liang, and asked meaningfully: "I have admired Zhuge Kongming's name for a long time, and now I see it, it is really extraordinary. It's just that you have the world in your heart." It is impossible to bury talent in the mountains and forests. It is said that a good bird chooses a tree to live in. I always want to ask, what kind of person do you think is a wise king?"

When Yu Fan asked this, the laughter in the audience suddenly lowered the volume, and more than a dozen pairs of eyes all looked at Zhuge Liang.

Stared at by these eyes, Zhuge Liang still smiled calmly. He took Yu Fan's wine, drank it down, put down the glass and said, "What is a good bird? Like a phoenix, like a peacock, like a magpie, like a crane? There are different types. The trees he chooses are naturally different, so Zhong Xiang might not be able to let the cranes live in the wood the phoenix used to live in, and drink the water the peacocks used to drink, right?"

Lu Ji thought that he was going to brush off the question in this way, but before anyone answered, Zhuge Liang suddenly said seriously: "But if Zhongxiang wants to ask me who is the Mingjun, this question is also simple-I think the Mingjun must be There are two main points, one is royal orthodoxy, and the other is benevolence and love for the people."

After saying this, there was a sudden silence in the hall.

In fact, Sun Ce did not account for any of these two points, and Zhuge Liang made it clear that he was not giving face.

Lu Ji looked up at Zhou Yu, who concealed his anger well and sipped his wine silently.

…Zhuge Liang is here, maybe Zhou Yu deliberately recruited him, but judging from today's situation, I'm afraid it was Zhou Yu's plan, and the road ahead will be difficult.

Lu Ji thought so, and looked back at Zhuge Liang.This time, his eyes didn't touch Zhuge Liang, but he was attracted by a kneeling schoolboy behind him.

The book boy who was kneeling was petite, with a small round face.She has an upturned nose and a tear mole at the corner of her eye. Although she is dressed in men's clothes, she has the appearance of a sweet girl.

In the past few years in Wu Jun, Lu Ji had many dreams and recalled many things.Zhang Xingcai, a girl with this appearance, also briefly appeared in his memory.

That was just a small segment, which happened before and after Zhuge Liang's tongue-in-cheek battle with the Confucians.

That day, not far from the back door of Lu Su's house, Lu Ji accidentally spotted Sun Wu and Zhang Xingcai who were dividing up the spoils on the spot, so he hid behind a willow tree and peeked.

Zhang Xingcai hid a bag of cinnabar in his cuff, and said to Sun Wu in surprise, "Shu Tong, how do you know that Lu Zijing's family has cinnabar?"

Sun Wu also hid a part in his sleeve, and said while hiding, "Guess."

"Then you stole so much cinnabar so quickly, how do you know where his cinnabar is hidden?"

"We are not stealing, but borrowing!" Sun Wu taught Zhang Xingcai seriously.

"Then how do you..."

Perhaps she felt that Zhang Xingcai was talking too much, but Sun Wu interrupted her and said, "Guess."

"You are really powerful."

After applauding in admiration, Zhang Xingcai hid the cinnabar well.The cuffs became heavy, she remembered something, and asked again: "The cinnabar is here, but how can we explain the origin of the cinnabar to my husband?"

"Explain what?" Sun Wu didn't care, "Just say you picked it up."

"Sir, how could he believe it, not to mention that I just told him a few days ago that we are collecting dyes and we are short of cinnabar..."

"Why are you talking so much to him?" Sun Wu was startled, and stopped his movements.

"Didn't you ask me to pass a message among you?"

"I asked you to pass the message between us because he was bored with my miscellaneous questions, so I wanted you to be a passer-by. You just need to ask him the technical problems such as the ratio of various dyes and how to purify the fuel. There is no need to reveal too much of our plans to him."

Sun Wu finished speaking with a sigh, hid all the remaining cinnabar, and asked: "Then you told your husband, what did he say?"

Zhang Xingcai scratched his head, "He only gave eight words - put the cart before the horse, flashy."

"..." Sun Wucha held his hands in silence for a moment, and then said, "Leave him alone, let's do ours."

"...But our progress is so slow, Kongming Ball has not yet taken shape, when will I see it fly?"

Sun Wu crossed his hands again in silence for a moment, and then said to Zhang Xingcai earnestly: "Xingcai, your idea is not right. What we are making is not a 'Kongming Ball', but a 'Rainbow-colored Kongming Ball'. You must know, we What I long for is not only science, but also art, a great invention with humanistic spirit and romanticism. No matter what, Mr. is just a simple inventor, and he can't understand us. Do you understand?"

Zhang Xingcai: "..."

Sun Wu: "Don't you understand?"

Zhang Xingcai: "...whatever you say, I just want to see our hole, the rainbow-colored Kongming ball flying. So if you have anything to come to my place, just come to me."

Sun Wu was very satisfied, smiled and said to Zhang Xingcai: "Sure enough, you are my best helper."

……

There is only such a fragment of this memory, and Lu Ji was also confused in his dream, and the whole thing seems to have nothing to do with him.However, in recent years, Lu Ji can often recall it because of the happy mood that Sun Wu exuded at that time, which made him always feel at ease every time he recalled it.

For the rest, such as why Sun Wu changed his name to "Shu Tong" and why he called Zhuge Liang "Sir", these curiosity were all suppressed by him - the more he knew, the more he could prove that he had nothing to do with Sun Wu critical.

He will always be entangled with such subtle emotions, maybe as Zhou Yu said, he should divide his mind and do something else...

When his mind was flying away, a voice suddenly woke him up again.

"Lu Gongji." It was a clear female voice.

Lu Ji looked up and saw Zhang Xingcai's face.

Zhang Xingcai looked around, and when she confirmed that no one was paying attention, she lowered her voice and said, "Lu Gongji, do you remember the rainbow-colored Kong Mingqiu?"

"..." Lu Ji was startled, and didn't reply for a while.

"You really remember!" After waiting for a long time for an answer, it seemed to be the best answer.A smile bloomed on Zhang Xingcai's face, and his face was full of surprises, "That's great!"

Lu Ji was very surprised. He thought that regarding this matter, he was another insignificant passer-by, an unknown bystander.

...But it turns out that this matter really has something to do with him.
