The sky was overcast, and the fine raindrops kept hitting the eaves, turning into finer debris, coating the already wet window edge with a new layer, perhaps leaving a little bit of proof that it had been there after the sky cleared.
traces of.,
Looking boredly at the rain outside the window, I sighed silently. Surrounded by the cold rain, the warm gas with body temperature turned into a white mist that allowed people to see the shape, and then drifted away leisurely.
In the slightly cold air.
Only a hint of melancholy was left in place.
"Is growing up really a good thing?"
The owner of the white mist asked himself this, and of course, another free mass of white mist gradually rose in the direction of the sound vibration, and then like its fairy shells, before it could fully stretch its body, it
Has returned to the space between heaven and earth.
In the arms of the mother who created everything in the early Yuan Dynasty.
It would be nice if I didn't grow up.
Because I haven’t grown up, I don’t know the power of rain and cold weather. I can rush into the rain curtain without worries and worries, feel the breath from heaven and earth, and then integrate them into my own mood to cook a dish.
A feast called "Happiness".
Although you will inevitably be punished by the cruel-faced and soft-hearted father and the cruel-tongued but soft-hearted mother in the end, and you may even get sick for a day or two if you don't take a hot bath seriously, but then
The happiness lasts longer.
I don’t know when people grow up and become mature and stable. They know that their behavior will make their parents anxious, make their brothers worry, and make their younger brothers and sisters feel uncomfortable, so they don’t dare to do that again.
Being so reckless, I could only hide in a safe place as I am now. I endured the restlessness in my heart and synthesized a bitter medicine called "boredom".
This should be considered another kind of growing pains.
With a sour smile on his face, the young man looked at the hazy sky with absent-minded eyes, feeling the sour and sour youth suite.
"Second Young Master, the old lady asked me to send you this brocade robe for you to wear. The weather is a bit cold..."
The pretty maid with a blush on her face gently helped the young man put on the coat that was thin but had a special warm feeling, and then gently arranged the belt and hem of the young man's clothes, then she blushed even more
The man's face was filled with happiness and he slowly receded.
The land of Wuyue has been a land full of magic since ancient times. Here, the ancestors of the Wu Kingdom built a city that could provide shelter for the people. The name "Wu Zicheng" represents the expectations of the ancestors of the Wu Kingdom. After that, Wu
The promising monarch of the country, Helu, laid the foundation of Wu County that continues to this day, and the "Helu City" was built by Wu Zixu, a famous general of the generation.
Hundreds of years have passed by in a daze, and although Wu County is no longer as prosperous as the capital, it has become more peaceful, and the Wuyue women have benefited from this land and water, and have the reputation of "Yue women are like flowers and cannot be seen".
. When walking in the mountain villages and fields surrounded by mountains and rivers, you can always get a pleasant scenery. Even the woman washing clothes by the stream has a delicate look on her eyebrows.
However, perhaps because they have grown up in such an atmosphere since childhood, young people do not think those women are very beautiful.
Of course, young people now know it more or less. The so-called "not feeling" is just a matter of youth.
"Sure enough, when you are young, you have the joy of being young, but when you grow up, you have the fun of growing up."
It’s not that the young people don’t understand what kind of fun that voluptuous girl holds for a hot-blooded man, and what the blush on the girl’s face means, but it’s just that compared to this simple fun, the young man obviously has more
The "big pleasure" that attracts him.
"When will Brother Ce come back? It's been such a long time, why don't you come back soon to play with Xiaoxiang? Didn't you say that Liu Biao is easy to fight? Brother Ce is indeed a big bad guy and a big liar!
"
However, as soon as he walked into the front hall, an inexplicable ball-shaped "mysterious object" rolled to the young man's feet. Moreover, the air was filled with the unique voice of the little Lolita, which was crisp and slightly milky, which made people feel...
A pleasant smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"My stupid sister~ Do you think you can hide this little trick from your wise and wise second brother? It's so disappointing. It was just a hunting trip, and you turned out to be so decadent, like this
How can you be qualified to shoot a tiger on your own? You are too weak, too sweet, so sweet that I can’t afford to let you compete with me!"
"The second brother is also a big bad guy, a big liar, and a big fool!!!"
It's a pity that no matter how Zhong Er's words are spoken, they will only turn into one sentence in the mouth of the unreasonable sister, but this very sentence is so fatal and so tear-jerking to the sister's controlling brother.
As a result, there were only a young loli with her hands raised in the air as if celebrating victory and a large gray-white non-burnable garbage kneeling on her knees in an orz posture with a look of decadence, no, it could even be said to be decadence and regret.
.
Ahem, I always feel that describing an aspiring young man like this is a bit too much.
Of course, as an aspiring young man, how could he be knocked down by such a blow, even though he is a sister-controller? Wiping the tears that appeared on his face for unknown reasons, even though he is a sister-controller, he can still muster them.
The one who has the courage to face tomorrow is a girl.
"Where did the mysterious voice come from? Come forward and I promise I won't beat you to death!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, my second brother is going crazy again. This is the first time this month. It's really troublesome for my sister."
"My~ dear~ beloved~ sister~ ah~~~!!! Who is it that is going to harm me like this~ ah~~~!!!"
The sound that seemed to come from the abyss of the netherworld immediately frightened the proud little Lolita back to her original shape. Diligulu rolled back into the same spherical object as before, and then spun and spun again and again, no matter where she ran to.
inside.
The second brother, who saw all this clearly, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, not knowing how to comment.
"Even if she is a descendant of the Sun family, she is just a girl. She doesn't have to bear so many heavy things like us boys. She can grow up happily, get a happy marriage that is blessed by everyone, and her children and grandchildren will be happy... I hope this
It’s everything in your life. Our most beloved little sister~ I really hope that you won’t have as many growing up worries as your brothers, and will always be so happy. Then, let us brothers, sometimes feel a little bit
A moment of your pure joy."
But it would be nice if the warm energy of the family could be replenished. Sun Zhongmou is a good man who wants to do great things.
"So the Second Young Master has handled all these official documents. The Lord has handed them over to his subordinates before he left. When he is away, the Second Young Master has all his power to handle everything in Jiangdong. Second Young Master, the Lord is very optimistic about you.
.”
"Yes, I can already feel the 'heavy' 'expectation'."
Holding the heavy letter, Sun Quan was in good health and eating well, but when the soldiers handed over these words, his knees almost gave out and he knelt down on the cold floor of the government office. What made his legs even weaker was that
The pile of slips in the corner, which was several times heavier than what he held in his hand, had been piled up like a mountain.
"Oh, Second Young Master, don't read those. Your task today is to complete the review of these official documents. As for those, if you are still interested after finishing the work at hand, I am also willing to let Second Young Master have more information.
More opportunities to ‘learn’.”
This time, Sun Quan really knelt down for those official documents.
As expected, it is not easy to be a qualified ruler. My eldest brother is indeed the most amazing man.
I just don’t know how Sun Quan’s friend would feel if he knew that Sun Ce left everything except important matters to his subordinates, especially Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao and others to deal with every day.
Of course, Sun Ce's good days are probably coming to an end. It is said that because of "years and years", Sun Ce has been regarded as the target of throwing blame. Even Zhou Yu, who is a good gay friend, can't bear it anymore, so this time the war of Liu Biao's Western Expedition is over.
Afterwards, Zhou Yu had already planned to find an excuse to stay away from Wu County. Of course, the most important thing was to stay away from the Gongwen Mountains that made him feel that he, a rich and handsome man, would turn into a senile old man in a few years.
Well, maybe the excuse of supervising the construction of Chaisang Military Base seems to be quite good. By the way, taking over the task of training the navy can make this excuse even more perfect. I am indeed a genius who can take one step at a time and see the next three steps - by
Zhou Xiaoyu couldn't bear it anymore.
And because of the rain, Sun Quan had nowhere else to go for the time being. Naturally, he could only deal with government affairs.
Of course, even if the weather really cleared up, Sun Quan would have no other place to go except to the military camp - those brothels and restaurants are a happy place for ordinary people, but the "collections" inside are not as good as
You have to go to the Rebellion General's Mansion. As for the hunting activity that the Sun family's father and son brothers loved most, due to various reasons, it was temporarily sealed by Sun Quan.
"Mr. Wenbiao, why has Shanyue started to be active again recently? Is there someone behind the scenes who wants to harm us?"
Frowning, Sun Quan looked at the several scrolls of bamboo slips in his hand. Although the contents were different, they were all reported by local officials to the rebel general's office about the instability of the local Shanyue tribes. Some tribes had even attacked several tribes.
The village has caused certain losses to the place. However, even if there are no specific actions, just showing a certain degree of hostility is enough to make the local officials feel uneasy. The Sword of Damocles hanging above their heads may
On the contrary, it is even more terrifying.
"Probably because of the promulgation of the lord's new policy. For those Shanyue powerful people who are unwilling to let our officials check their household registrations, we will not only cut off their contact with the outside world, but also subsequently eliminate the opponents one by one. Although the subsequent policies
It will not be announced yet, but with the alertness of the Shanyue people, it is not impossible to sense the danger and take action in advance."
"Why can't we resolve these matters peacefully? Those Shanyue people are all very good soldiers. As long as they are willing to join our army, they can definitely get a chance to become a wife. Brother, although sometimes
He has a somewhat fierce personality, but he is still quite tolerant of outstanding talents.
Not to mention that he has praised the fighting power and fighting will of those Shanyue people more than once on various occasions. If the Shanyue people feel that there is a lack of trust in talking to us directly, then it is okay to use some famous local people as intermediaries, as long as they have surrendered.
It’s not like my brother can’t afford to wait for such a short time.”
"My second young master, your idea is good, but... it's really not realistic."
"What does Mr. Wenbiao mean by this sentence? Is there something else in it that I haven't thought of?"
"Haha. The second young master has a good heart and hopes to share his worries with the master. But in this matter, it is really too difficult."
"So where is the resistance to this matter? Why doesn't Big Brother clear away those 'resistances'?"
"Because the people who hinder the realization of the Second Young Master's idea are none other than the powerful men and subordinates of the Lord's family!"
"Ah?! Why is this happening!!"
"Actually, this matter is very simple to say. Even with the wisdom of the Second Young Master, the relationship between it can be completely straightened out."
"Well, even if you say so, Mr. Wenbiao, I still feel like I don't quite understand it."
"Haha, actually this matter is very simple. How will those Shanyue people make a living after they come out of the mountains? Even if the men in the family go out to serve as soldiers, what will happen to the women and children in the family, as well as those who cannot go to the battlefield?
?”
"……I see."
"It seems that the second young master is really smart and has really figured out the stakes."
"Yes, even if the eldest brother has dealt with many powerful Jiangdong families who opposed him, most of them only killed a few people. Unless the other party launched a rebellion, it would be possible to uproot the entire clan. But the land obtained in this way also requires
Assigned to those people from Huaisi who came to join Big Brother, even because they are more loyal
To the eldest brother, they need to give more rewards to reward their loyalty to the eldest brother. With more land, they can settle down and establish a family in Jiangdong, so that the eldest brother's control over Jiangdong will be stronger. But in this way
, but there really is no extra land to allocate to the people of Shanyue."
"What the Second Young Master said is right, because there is not much extra land to allocate to those Shanyue people, and it cannot satisfy the appetite of those Shanyue leaders, so we can only take more drastic measures to deal with those foreigners. There is no way.
It’s a matter of fact. There is only so much land in Jiangdong, and there are many people to share it with, so there must always be a priority."
"Then Mr. Wenbiao thinks we need to send troops now?"
"For the time being, it's better to stay calm. After all, Shanyue himself is not sure how we plan to deal with them. If they just want to collect taxes, they will have drastic measures. But most of the tribes are just hiding.
They just hide in the mountains and forests, making it difficult for our tax collectors to find them. We are now
The troops we have can only protect ourselves. If Shanyue launches a large-scale rebellion, regardless of whether our troops are enough to suppress the rebellion of the Shanyue people, whether it is Cao Cao in the north or the scholar family in the south, it will be an unrest that cannot be ignored.
Factors. There are also the hidden powerful Jiangdong families who oppose the lord..."
"I understand, then let's let these clowns dance for a few more days. Wait until eldest brother comes back, wait until eldest brother comes back..."
"Second Young Master, there is no need to feel unwilling. If you want to be a qualified right-hand man who can help the Lord Mu Shou, sometimes you need to learn to be temporarily tolerant. There is a saying that 'endure the calm for a while, and take a step back to open up the world'."
"Yes, in order to be a good helper to my elder brother, I must become even better!"
Although the day's work was stumbling, it was finally completed before sunset. Of course, even if he could still burn the midnight oil for a while, Sun Quan was obviously not willing to stay among the papers and compete with all kinds of official documents.
What's more, now he has more important facts that he must do.
"I would like to ask the immortal, if there is another way to make me stronger so that I can help my lonely and hardworking brother!"
In his own room, Sun Quan bowed respectfully in front of a gray-haired old man. The old man was dressed in soap clothes, holding a quinoa staff and wearing wooden clogs. He looked like an immortal, but he was clearly the one who made him
Sun Ce tossed and turned, wishing that he could not deal with Yu Ji Laodao quickly!
Why did he appear in Sun Quan's house?
If we want to know the answer to this question, we have to turn the calendar back a little.
It is said that the men of the Sun family, from their father Sun Jian to his sons Sun Ce, Sun Quan and others, all like hunting, and especially like to fight with beasts. In the ancient Roman era, perhaps all of them would have been awarded the title of "Spartacus"
second" title.
In terms of personal fighting ability, Sun Quan is naturally inferior to his perverted brother and his father, who is one of the most powerful in the country. However, this does not diminish Sun Quan's interest in hunting, especially fighting with tigers, which is Sun Quan's favorite.
Hunting items.
It's a pity that the tiger is the king of beasts after all, and Sun Quan is not a fierce general. In fact, at this age, if Sun Zhongmou was not protected by Zhou Tai, even three or five sturdy men would be enough to make him panic. If they surrounded him,
If the number of people reaches double digits, they will inevitably be captured by mistake, or their heads will be missing and become a specimen of the enemy's brilliant military exploits.
If Sun Ce was still here, even if he wouldn't let Sun Quan play with him, he would still resist his guards and follow Sun Quan before leaving, or let Sun Quan's favorite guard Zhou Tai protect him carefully.
Something went wrong.
However, with the departure of veteran generals such as Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, Sun Quan, who was appointed by Sun Ce as the left-behind general, immediately became a wild horse. Even though he did not forget his hard work because of the heavy responsibilities, his interest in his hobbies also became
Get indulgent.
So during another hunt, Sun Quan was having a bit of fun, so he gradually moved away from his guards. By the time the guards realized that the situation was not good, Sun Quan, their master, had already been lost in the jungle without knowing it.
.
At this moment, three tigers sprang out from the forest, and their target was naturally Sun Zhongmou, who looked "delicious".
Of course, Sun Quan was naturally surprised and delighted by such an unexpected situation. He immediately held the treasure carver in one hand and drew an arrow with the other hand to shoot at the tiger. It was obvious that this young man had not graduated from the second grade of high school.
He planned to use a tiger specimen to show off to his eldest brother Sun Ce, who had returned victoriously, to prove that he was also a good man of the Sun family with Sun Jian's blood flowing through his veins.
It's a pity that I suddenly encountered a tiger, which made my heart beat faster. Because I was dazzled by the possible benefits, my heart was even more excited.
Naturally, both the hand holding the bow and the hand shooting the arrow were trembling with excitement and nervousness. Let alone shooting a tiger, even if a sika deer was placed in front of Sun Quan, he would
I'm afraid they may not be able to hit the opponent.
The tigers enraged by the bow and arrow naturally launched a ferocious attack - one of them rushed directly towards Sun Quan from his true face and bit Sun Quan's calf hanging on one side. As for the other two tigers, they also cooperated quite tacitly and attacked from both sides.
He launched an attack from the side and blocked all directions in which Sun Quan could escape.
It was only then that Sun Quan realized that he was not the tiger hunting hero, but was about to become the tiger's delicacy!
Even if he avoided the tiger biting his calf in time and only let the tiger's front paws touch the saddle, this did not mean that Sun Quan had a chance to escape, because the remaining two tigers had already
His bloody mouth was about to hit the neck and hind legs of the horse under Sun Quan's crotch.
Although Sun Quan's favorite horse failed to dismount Sun Quan because of the fright, with the combined efforts of the two tigers, the horse that was implicated by Sun Quan's reckless behavior was finally thrown to the ground, and Sun Quan naturally also
He didn't survive the disaster, even if he threw off the stirrup and rolled down to prevent himself from being crushed under the horse and waiting to die, the original "immediate execution" has now become the current "suspended death".
"That's all.
As a result, at such a critical moment, a divine being passed by in the sky. Not only did he seem to wave his hand casually and kill three tigers that had embarrassed Sun Quan, but he also moved in a graceful and elegant manner throughout the process, dissipating a trace of energy.
If the other party's face hadn't been so old and weird, maybe Sun Quan would have gone to hang himself on a southeastern branch in shame and anger.
The guy who saved Sun Quan was naturally Yu Ji Laodao, and this was also the reason why Sun Quan didn't just go hunting in a short time.
Compared with his brother Sun Ce, Sun Quan was undoubtedly much more enthusiastic about Ji Laodao.
After all, he never felt Sun Ce's emotion of being embarrassed in front of everyone from the very beginning. Naturally, he did not have a strong prejudice against Ji like Sun Ce from the very beginning. Everything after that just gradually deepened.
It’s just that inherent impression.
On the contrary, because of the "Escape from the Tiger's Mouth" incident, Sun Quan's impression of Ji was very positive from the beginning. Coupled with the two Mrs. Wu's firm belief in Ji, the relationship between Sun Quan and Yu Ji was naturally able to warm up, unlike Sun Ce.
generally drops to freezing point.
"Well, do you want a way to become stronger? In fact, there are many, but I don't know which one you like, Second Young Master?" (To be continued...)
