In the midsummer of August, the sun is shining brightly.
In order to show his respect for the hero, Sun Quan buried Han Dang under the sun. All civil and military officials from Jianye City were present, including Lu Cong, who had no dealings with Han Zong.
Han Zong expressed his gratitude to everyone who came to the scene, except for Lu Cong, who "regardless of past grudges", which made Lu Cong's face black and blue.
At three o'clock, Han Dang's funeral ended.
Sun Quan's face was covered with sweat from the sun, and when he was about to board the car to return to Jianye, a horse riding through smoke and dust came not far away.
"Lord, be careful." The guard tiger immediately stood in front of Sun Quan.
The man fell off his horse two feet away and rolled towards the crowd. His face stained with sweat was full of panic and uneasiness, and he searched for the person he was looking for while running.
After targeting Lu Cong, the man ran over with a cry: "Young Master, something has happened..."
Lu Cong looked at the others in embarrassment, because the visitor was a personal attendant of the Lu family. In such a serious occasion, it would be extremely rude to shout and yell, especially when Sun Quan was still present.
"Ha...what a big disaster..." Han Zong teased in a strange way, and Sun Quan frowned slightly.
Lu Cong scolded him in a deep voice: "Uncle Chen, my lord is also here. How can you behave in such a panic?"
Uncle Chen ignored it, but reported with a sad face: "The master of the family was seriously injured in an assassination, and he is in critical condition now."
"What did you say? Lu Cong stepped forward anxiously.
"The head of the family and the young master went to Jingshan to escape the summer heat. Unfortunately, an assassin in the forest shot him in the chest with a poisonous arrow..." Chen Bo burst into tears. (Lü Meng gave birth to three sons, the eldest son Lu Cong, the second son Lu Ba, and the third son Lu
(harmony)
"Where is Shutan (Lu Mu)?" Lu Cong asked.
Uncle Chen swallowed his saliva and replied: "The gangster's initial target was the Third Young Master, and the head of the family was hit by an arrow just to protect him. The general fought back and repelled the assassin, but the head of the family was shot in the vital part, and now... woo woo...
"
Lu Cong quickly came to Sun Quan's side, holding back his sadness and clasping his fists to report: "My lord, Zhong Han (Lu Ba) has encountered an unexpected incident, Cong asks to go first."
"Meng Ze (Lu Cong), go quickly, he and the imperial doctor will arrive soon." Sun Quan looked solemn.
"Thank you so much, my lord, I'll take my leave."
Lu Cong clasped his fists in salute and rode away with Uncle Chen. Wen and Wu who were attending Han Dang's funeral couldn't help but sigh. The accompanying servants each fetched horses and carriages to prepare for returning to the city.
The moment Sun Quan boarded the car with a dark face, he heard discordant sounds from behind.
"Hmph, someone has done a lot of injustice, and it's really hard to get retribution..."
Sun Quan stopped and looked for information, and found that Han Zong was still the same "small-minded" person. He glared at him and got on the carriage, and the accompanying tiger soldiers were divided into two columns and followed to escort Sun Quan away.
Everyone present was disdainful of Han Zong's way of adding insult to injury. They shook their heads and left Han Dang's cemetery before him. However, Han Zong didn't take it seriously and secretly felt happy.
"Yuanhe (Han Zong), what you say and do should depend on the occasion. Even if you have a rift with the Lu family, you can't talk nonsense in front of so many people. Besides, the old general has made a final decision? Why do you keep holding on to the governor?
"Zhang Zhao deliberately stayed at the back to teach the 'stubborn' Han family disciples alone.
Han Zong was very arrogant in front of the Lu family, but very polite in front of Zhang Zhao. He clasped his fists and answered calmly: "My nephew asked many people when he went to Jingzhou to move the grave. No one heard that the Lan Ji Formation killed my father, so Gu Jianjun
I can’t believe what I said, I was just complaining..."
"It is a false accusation without any evidence. People came to the funeral of General Han. It is enough to see that the Lu family is open-minded. Why do you continue to pursue it? Isn't the chief governor gone? Since everyone has been buried in peace,
I think there should be no more trouble, my lord was obviously angry just now." Zhang Zhao's tone was very stern.
"My nephew knows that the military advisor will put in a good word for me. The biggest problem is that if I don't pursue this matter..." Han Zong suddenly seemed very generous. In fact, because Lu Ba was probably going to die, he felt that the bad breath in his chest had already come out.
Zhang Zhao shook his head, "I'm going to chase my lord now, you might as well do it yourself..."
Before Han Zong left, he came to Han Dang's grave again, bowed to him and said: "My father has a spirit in heaven, and the Lu family will suffer the consequences. Lu Ba, Lu Cong and Lu Mu died today and they will not be able to stay alive for long. Your hatred
It’s considered repayment...”
On the way back, Han Zong was in a good mood, but his attendant Xian Yuli looked heavy.
"Major General, don't you think there's something fishy about this? I mentioned the idea of ​​kidnapping Lu Mu at home a few days ago. Today someone actually kidnapped Lu Mu and shot Lu Ba with poisonous arrows. Isn't this a coincidence?
What?" Xian Yuli frowned and analyzed.
"Lü Meng did a lot of immoral things, and some people want to cause trouble for his descendants. I buried my father today, and many pairs of eyes in Jiangdong are watching. You can't say it was me, right? How can casual remarks count? No matter.
I would like to thank any hero who did this."
Although Han Zong acted disapprovingly, he secretly thought that Brother Sima was a bit powerful. He found the assassin in such a short time. After all, he was a descendant of Zhongyuan's rich family.
In the afternoon, everyone returned to Han's house. Xian Yuli was uneasy and uneasy. Then he called the family's entourage to count the number of people. It turned out that there was a missing column (five people) who stayed at Han's house. The leader of the column was Han Zong's confidant Chang Gao.
Xian Yuli inquired from others and learned that Chang Gao had left the house with those few people without asking for permission. The answer to Lu Ba's assassination was about to come out.
Han Zong did not expect that Chang Gao would lead people to do important things as soon as he said it casually. He frequently tapped his forehead with his left index finger and middle finger. After a long time, he said leisurely: "What do you think we are afraid of? Today I am burying my father. Don't worry."
It is said that the lord may not be able to be found out, but even if he is found out, what will happen? Don’t forget that Yang Tie and the others have irrefutable evidence.”
Xian Yuli was startled when he heard this and admonished: "Young General, it is best not to admit that Governor Lu had many good friends during his lifetime, and my lord was particularly fond of him. If the wrath of Thunder is really unleashed, the Han family may not be able to gain a foothold in Jiangdong."
..”
Hiss... Han Zong took a breath of cold air and quickly ordered: "Hurry up and go to Lu Mansion to inquire and see if Lu Ba is dead. If he is not dead, please invite two doctors to come over."
"This...does this count as self-inflicted?" Xian Yuli's face was full of embarrassment.
In fact, Han Zong didn't need to send anyone to inquire, because Lu Cong died when Lu Cong returned home.
After Sun Quan arrived, he suppressed the anger in his chest. After comforting the children of the Lu family, he left Zhuge Jin to help organize Lu Ba's funeral while he returned to the palace angrily.
"This is really unreasonable. Why are there endless assassins and endless funerals?" Sun Quan was so angry that he threw several cups.
After a while, Zhang Zhao broke into the hall.
Looking at the mess on the ground, he picked up a piece of debris and handed it over to Sun Quan: "I just asked the old minister that the assassin was a hunter near Jingshan Mountain. After the incident, Zihuang (Quan Cong) led troops to search the mountain. So far, no one has found any
Discover..."
Sun Quan gritted his teeth: "It's another hunter in the mountains. It's exactly the same as my brother's assassination. This is a slap in my face. Call me Yu Zecheng."
"Now? Should we be more cautious..." Zhang Zhao reminded in a low voice.
