In a remote mountain to the west of Chang'an City, a group of people and horses were waiting quietly. Although the guards waiting beside the carriage were wearing ordinary Gebu, they had a faint aura of toughness.
The carriage is not the canopied carriage of the scholars, but an ordinary carriage shape. There are no patterns on the carriage body, and there is nothing special about it. No matter from which angle you look at it, it is ordinary to the extreme.
car.
The only thing that may attract other people's attention is the seemingly heavy door curtain of the carriage, which even the wind does not seem to be able to move...
A violent cough suddenly broke out from behind the door curtain.
"Hey, senior brother, you are sick and need to be treated!" Jia Xu lazily leaned against the side of the carriage wall and said, "...Oh, I told you to pay more attention to your health...but it's too late to say this now.
Already..."
Although it was daytime, the light inside the carriage was relatively poor, but I could still see things.
Li Ru was holding a brocade quilt, which was wrapped around his whole body. Only his head was exposed, which was so thin that it was almost inhuman shape. His hair was gray and messy, and was not tied up. After listening to Jia Xu's words, Li Ru picked something.
Mei didn't reply, but stretched out a skinny hand from inside the brocade quilt, took the brocade handkerchief on the side, and wiped the little bits of coughing caused by the violent cough.
"...Senior brother, you have a weak yin and yang..." Jia Xu muttered, "...Looking at how thin you are now, if I spoke louder, I would probably blow you away..."
"...You can try blowing one..." Li Ru said in a neutral tone, but his voice was low and hoarse, which seemed to be due to vocal cord damage mostly caused by coughing.
"Uh, this..." Jia Xu quickly changed the topic, "...I can also help with this Dong Zhongying matter, but he is still seeking his own death, and there is nothing I can do..."
Li Ru was silent for a while and said, "You arranged that ballad and the Taoist priest? How did you know there was something wrong with Lu Bu's cock?"
Jia Xu chuckled, shook his head and said: "A certain person knows astronomy from above and geography from below. He knows five hundred years in advance and five hundred years in hindsight... Ah, okay, no kidding. Although I thought Lu Bu might have something wrong at the time, but
Not sure yet…”
Li Ru raised his eyebrows, thought for a moment, and said, "Then you wrote two words, is it purely a test?"
"That's not entirely true... In addition to having a double mouth, it can also be said that entering the palace without a crown..." Jia Xu shook his head, sighed, and said, "It's just that Dong Zhongying seems to be stupid...
…I can’t even understand such an obvious expression…”
Li Ru coughed again.
Jia Xu opened some door curtains, stuck his head out, and shouted to the guards outside the carriage: "Where's the water?! It takes so long to boil water?!"
"...It's okay, he won't die..." Li Ru patted his chest, and then said in a low voice, "...Xiangguo is indeed stupid, or he...I have been hiding this matter, and I also found some medicine.
It is given to Xiangguo, but it has been good and bad..."
Jia Xu suddenly pulled his head back and said: "...Senior Brother's intention...someone poisoned you?"
Li Ru frowned and said: "As early as the time of Luoyang, the Prime Minister had some signs. Later, the Prime Minister spent most of his time in Xiwu. In addition, prices in Chang'an were soaring at that time and affairs were chaotic, so I didn't care about it for the time being... I originally thought
The Prime Minister's Kingdom is located in Xiwu and is under heavy protection, so there should be no serious problems, but I never thought..."
Jia Xu suddenly became a little angry. He narrowed his eyes into a thin line, and faintly revealed a cold light: "...then, senior brother, your body...may be..."
Li Ru was stunned for a moment and said, "But my symptoms are different from those of Xiangguo..."
Jia Xu waved his hand: "Senior brother, you don't have to worry about this matter. I'm here to investigate and deal with it. Anyway... hum... hehe..."
Li Ru was silent for a while, sighed, and leaned against the carriage looking a little tired, and said slowly: "Okay, I'll leave it to you... Anyway, I don't want to worry about it now... But don't worry about it.
I'm in too deep..."
Jia Xu smiled and said: "Don't worry, senior brother, you don't know that I am most afraid of death. If anything happens, I promise to hide as far away as possible..."
"Yeah." This is true. Li Ru smiled slightly, and then closed his eyes tiredly.
It's true that illness is overwhelming.
Before, Li Ru had been burning himself because of his career for Dong Zhuo, but now after Dong Zhuo fell, the exhaustion and hard work that soaked from every crack in his bones completely exploded.
came out.
Even if the Xiliang Army is at this point, it is not completely defeated. There is still a way to save it, but it is just a little more difficult. However, Li Ru is too tired and exhausted, and he no longer wants to pull this thing like a skinny old cow.
Cool chariot.
For Dong Zhuo, Li Ru owed him a favor, and now it can be considered as repaid. As for the other Xiliang generals, most of them owed Li Ru a favor...
Jia Xu looked at Li Ru, his eyes flashed, and suddenly said: "Senior brother, do you still remember what we said on a hill outside Mianchi before entering Beijing?"
Li Ru still closed his eyes and was silent for a long time before he said: "...Forget those words...After such an experience, there are some things...Oh...I just want to find a successor now, and I will
If the mantle of Legalism is passed on... Junior brother, where did you put all the books and scriptures?"
Jia Xu replied: "Some are in Yuzhong, some are in Xiangwu, and some are in Ji County."
Li Ru glanced at Jia Xu and said nothing.
Jia Xu chuckled and said, "Isn't this just right? Anyway, senior brother, you can stay in these three places. Maybe there will be good seeds."
The guard outside the carriage gently knocked on the carriage and said that the water had been boiled...
Jia Xu quickly took it in, made a bowl and handed it to Li Ru.
Li Ru took the bowl and blew it slightly. Others might think it was quite hot, but Li Ru didn't seem to feel it. After drinking it in large gulps, a little blood appeared on his face.
Jia Xu avoided looking, unable to bear to look any further.
Li Ru put down the bowl, smiled and said: "Okay, you and I have to say goodbye eventually, so why not send it here... When you feel you have had enough, just go home... I will ask someone to cook it for you
Beef, enough of it..."
Jia Xu laughed and said, "Okay! It's settled!" After saying that, he and Li Ru looked at each other for a moment, then turned around and got off the carriage.
A group of people and horses slowly headed west, and suddenly a song came from the carriage:
"Shifu Gantang,
"Don't cut or chop,
"Zhao Bo's place.
"Shifu Gantang,
"Don't cut it, don't lose it,
"Where Uncle Zhao is resting..."
Halfway through the song, I was interrupted by a cough...
Jia Xu sighed and then sang:
"Shifu Gantang,
"Don't bow, don't bow,
"What Uncle Zhao said..."
During the singing, the people and horses moved further and further away, gradually disappearing from sight.
Jia Xu kept standing by the road, squinting his eyes, and said to himself in a very low voice for a long time: "I don't care whether it was planted by Uncle Zhao or Jiang Wang. Anyway, if it's an eyesore, I'll cut it down anyway."
...Senior brother, you can forget it... I don't intend to forget it... Hehehehe, anyway, senior brother, you are inheriting the mantle of Legalism, and I am... Hehehehe, anyway, I can't compare to you when it comes to building a family and a country.
But...hehehe, you may not be able to compare with me..."
Anyway, Li Ru is considered a Legalist...
invalid objection.
above.
ps: The mobile phone battery has been completely scrapped due to being exposed to high temperatures for a long time, being plugged into the computer for a long time, and always turning on 4G to use data...
It will automatically shut down when the battery reaches 90%. I checked and found that the battery only has 30% capacity left, which is a complete waste...
The problem now is that I don’t even know where the phone repair place is…
There really is nothing in Chongzuo...
I'd rather replace it myself. I'm a bit handicapped and don't dare to...
Let's wait for the project to be completed, it will take several months...
