Lu Xun didn't say anything for a long time. Sun Quan's intention was very clear. He suspected that he had colluded with the Jiang bandits who had been controlled by him, kidnapped Sun Luban, ruined the marriage with Shu, and at the same time gave Bu Zhi, Pan Jun and others People cause trouble in hopes of regaining control of Xiling

This crime was too big for Lu Xun to bear. What hurt Lu Xun even more was Sun Quan's suspicion.

Sun Quan doubted him and no longer trusted him

Lu Xun's face was pale, his eyes were dull, and he knelt on the ground slumped without saying a word.

Sun Quan walked away with a puff of his sleeves

As soon as Sun Quan went out, little Lu Kang rushed in from the outside, hugging Lu Xun's neck, tears streaming down his face, but he didn't cry, biting his lip, looking angrily at the direction Sun Quan was leaving. Lu Xun hugged his son's small body. , seeing his angry eyes, he was startled and said repeatedly: "Kang'er, don't be so rude."

"Children are ignorant and naive. There is no such thing as politeness or impoliteness. There are only kisses or no kisses, love or no love." Sun Shucheng slowly walked in from the outside, slowly squatted down, and knelt down in front of Lu Xun: "Husband, why are you like this? Even if you don't become a general to assist the country, it would be a good choice for you to return to Wu County to write a book and teach Kang'er..."

"Madam, you don't know that this is a critical moment, a matter of life and death. How can I sit idly by and ignore it?" Lu Xun hugged Lu Kang, tapped his nose, and forced a smile: "Kang'er , what did my father teach you, how to be a scholar?"

Lu Kang raised his arm, wiped his tears with his sleeve, and said loudly: "A scholar must be ambitious, and the road ahead is long and long."

"Then can we give up just because the road ahead is long and heavy?"

"No," Lu Kang said in a childish voice: "If you persevere, gold and stone can carve the carvings of ten horses, and the merit lies in perseverance."

Lu Xun smiled, put his face against his son's chest, and hugged his body tightly: "Good boy, my father did not teach you in vain."

Sun Shucheng sighed and did not try to persuade him any more. After a while, Lu Xun let go of his son, sat down in front of the case again, spread out the bamboo slips, and Sun Shucheng looked at him with pity. He pulled the reluctant Lu Kang out and closed the door behind him.

One day later, Lu Xun's report on Wuling's quelling the rebellion was sent to Sun Quan. He made several suggestions: First, Wuling's quelling the rebellion was imperative, rescuing the princess was related to the stability of the country and the security of the border counties, which should not be underestimated. Secondly, avoid conflicts with Shu. If a conflict occurs, diplomatic relations with Shu should be maintained. It is best to join forces to eliminate it. At least to ensure that Shu will not cause trouble. Finally, the scale of the war must be controlled and cannot be expanded. Wu currently has insufficient troops and needs time to recuperate and guard against the center of gravity. It should be placed in Xiangyang and Xiling, and should not be entangled in the Wuling area. Wuling area is easy to move and difficult to stabilize. It should focus on pacifying and suppress as a supplement.

After Sun Quan read Lu Xun's letter, he sneered and asked someone to report back to Lu Xun. "You don't have to worry about the war in Wuling. I have already mobilized an army to rush to Wuling. This time I must wipe out these Wuxi barbarians and completely pacify Wuling. If the Shu people dare After blatantly interfering, Nagu invaded Yizhou, making it difficult for Zhuge Liang to take care of both the north and the south.

Upon hearing this reply, Lu Xun sighed bitterly: "Wuling is no longer mine from now on."

After the envoy reported Lu Xun's performance to Sun Quan, Sun Quan became furious and ordered Bu Zhao, Pan Jun and others to pacify Wuling and completely eliminate the abscess of Wuxi Man.

…

Li Shan and Wei Ba looked at their husband, who seemed embarrassed but was actually determined, and asked: "Are you sure?"

The prime minister nodded vigorously: "Brothers all mean this. They don't want to lure Wu Gou into the mountains. They want to set an ambush here and get rid of them."

Wei Ba said nothing, but Zhao Tong, who always spoke in a pleasant manner, became angry and angrily shouted: "Chief Xiangfu, do you know what kind of person Bu Zhao is? Do you know how many people he has under his command now?

"

"I know." The prime minister curled his lips disapprovingly: "He is the uncle of that queen."

Mrs. Bu was deeply loved by Sun Quan. Although she did not have the title of queen, many people called her queen. Even river thieves like her husband knew about it.

Zhao Tong sneered: "So you think Bu Zhao is just an incompetent person who relied on Mrs. Bu's talents to get promoted?"

The prime minister asked back: "Isn't it? We successfully entered Yiyuan and robbed the princess. Although we had the support of the servants, it was enough to prove that Bu Zhi was not a shrewd person. What is there to be afraid of? If Zhao Zhonglang had

If you are worried about anything, you can stand aside and let us barbarians whose lives are worthless take the lead."

When Wei Ba heard that the Prime Minister's tone was wrong, he waved his hand quickly: "Since the leader has made up his mind, then just listen to the leader. Leader Xiang Fu, I tell you clearly that your decision is very risky. You may

Many good brothers will lose their lives.”

The husband smiled proudly: "Our lives were picked up in the first place."

Wei Ba nodded and smiled: "Well, I look forward to the leader's return in victory."

The prime minister smiled disapprovingly, turned around and left. Zhao Tong became anxious and his face darkened: "Ziyu, these barbarians don't know the depth of things. I'm afraid it will be a disaster if we leave."

Wei Ba pulled Zhao Tong aside and said calmly: "In this case, what's wrong with letting them taste some suffering? These people are willing to obey my orders now, just because I have the Panhu Order in my hand, not really

To convince me, I let him stumble in front of Bu Zhao. Only then will they know how powerful their opponent is, and they will be more obedient in the future."

Zhao Tong sighed and said nothing more. Wei Ba looked at him warily: "Brother, it's too early for you to regard these people as your subordinates. These people are still wild and will fall out at any time. They must be treated with both kindness and power."

It’s good for them, but it’s actually harming them.”

Zhao Tong smiled bitterly and said: "I know, I just... pity them."

Wei Ba was silent for a while and said calmly: "But if we can't really conquer these barbarians, no one will pity us and we will all die without a burial place."

Zhao Tong nodded: "I understand."

Wei Ba didn't say anything else. He knew that Zhao Tong would faithfully perform his duties no matter whether he could figure it out or not. Since these barbarians refused to listen and thought Bu Zhi was easy to bully, they had to turn around and give Bu Zhi a beating.

If he leaves again, he will have to retreat first. Bu Zhao has been chasing slowly these days, and the situation is suspicious. Wei Ba is worried that he is doing it on purpose. He may send someone to cut off his back path first, and then block him from behind.

For this reason, he had to abandon these disobedient river bandits and let them go and die with Bu Zha while he stayed out of the matter.

When Wei Ba walked to the edge of Yi River, Pan Ziyu was treating Sun Luban's wound. Sun Luban stabbed himself. Although the wound was not very deep, the wound had not healed well in the past two days because he did not get a good rest. There were ulcers.

trend, dressing needs to be changed every day

Seeing Wei Ba approaching, Sun Luban stood up with difficulty and walked towards the camp. Wei Ba came over, picked up a piece of bloody cloth from the grass, walked to the pale Sun Luban, bent down and spoke word by word

He said: "Princess, if you act clever again, I will hand you over to those barbarians. You should know that they are very interested in you."

"You dare!" Sun Luban shouted, holding on.

Wei Ba snorted disdainfully: "You should know that since I kidnapped you, I have no intention of returning it to Sun Quan. As for King Lu, do you think he will fall out with me because of a princess kidnapped by barbarians?"

Sun Luban's face turned pale, he gritted his teeth, but tears rolled down involuntarily: "Then why don't you kill me?"

"Both of you are my hostages. I will not kill you easily unless I have to." Wei Ba threw the piece of cloth in front of Sun Luban: "From now on, you will no longer have medicine. Can you hold on until

The healing of the wound depends on your luck." He looked at Pan Ziyu, "Also, we will march separately from the barbarians. No one will carry you anymore. You have to go on your own. If you can't keep up, I will shoot you with my own hands."

He smiled and said, "Princess, I think you can see that I'm not trying to scare you."

"You..." Sun Luban looked at Wei Ba, who had a smile on his face, but his eyes were so cold that there was no warmth at all. He felt like he was being pressed down by a big mountain and could hardly breathe. She held on for a long time, then suddenly her face turned red and she shouted loudly.

: "Then kill me now!"

"You think I don't dare?" Wei Ba straightened up, and as he spoke, he pulled out the long knife from his waist. The sharp long knife shone with a sharp light in the autumn sunshine, making people feel cold all over. Wei Ba's hands

Holding the knife, he gestured at Sun Luban's neck, gave a sharp shout, and slashed with the knife.

Sun Luban's eyes suddenly widened and his mouth opened wide, but he couldn't shout anything. She seemed to hear the grim smile of death, and the warm sunshine suddenly lost its temperature.

In the blink of an eye, the long knife in Wei Ba's hand struck Sun Luban's neck with the sound of wind. The murderous aura contained in the knife made the hairs on Sun Luban's neck stand up, and a layer of chicken skin arose on his skin.

Pimples and fear instantly controlled Sun Luban's entire mind.

"Stop!" A spear stabbed, and the spearhead accurately hit Wei Ba's long knife. There was a sharp "ding" sound, and sparks flew everywhere. Wei Ba held the knife in both hands, took a step back, and looked at Zhao Tong who was arriving.

, his face darkened: "Zhonglang Zhao, do you want to disobey me?"

Zhao Tong shook his head, put away his spear, and held it behind his back: "Servant, she is a hostage, killing her is not a wise choice."

"But I don't have anyone to carry her on my back." Wei Ba sneered and picked up the bloody cloth with the tip of his knife: "What's more, she thought she was smart and wanted to leave a mark on Bu Zhao. Such a stupid woman,

I think I have nothing to say to her, so I might as well kill her."

Zhao Tong frowned: "Princess, I can take you away, but if you are so ignorant, I will also choose to kill you."

Sun Luban, who had narrowly escaped death, was so shaken that he couldn't say a word. Although Pan Ziyu was also frightened, after all, he did not face death like Sun Luban, and he still had some sanity. After hearing Zhao Tong's words, she hurriedly said

: "Don't worry, Zhonglang, it won't happen anymore, it won't happen anymore."

Zhao Tong turned to look at Wei Ba. Wei Ba snorted, sheathed his sword, and looked at Zhao Tong coldly: "You are responsible for this woman's actions. If you don't fall behind, I will kill her." (To be continued...
