Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2174 Light and Shadow

No one will let go of their vested interests easily.

Especially after having something once and then losing it again, it’s so heart-breaking and painful...

Living alone in a simple courtyard, Lu Yi felt somewhat miserable.

Because Lu Yi lost his original authority, although he still got Sun Quan's attention, but attention is still importance. When Sun Quan was in Wu Commandery, he could still make a living out of his attention. After Sun Quan left, no one cared about him. .

The reason why he feels pain in his heart is because Lu Yi boasts about himself. Well, it’s not self-promotion. Lu Yi’s father once told him that the Lu family was of noble birth, better than the four current Jiangdong families and even the Sun family. Noble, my ancestors were extremely glorious back then, and they were once the masters of a country, but now they are huddled in such a small shabby courtyard.

Lu Yi searched for information. According to legend, in ancient times, Boyi once assisted Emperor Yao in taking charge of the four mountains. Later, he helped Dayu to control the floods. He was Dayu's "heart Lu's minister", so he was named Luhou. Both the Shang and Zhou dynasties were princes. country.

In the early Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Lu was destroyed by the State of Chu. After that, the descendants took the country as their surname and scattered in Han, Wei, Qi, and Lu. They became the authentic surname of Lu, and Boyi was the ancestor of the Lu family...

The title of prince in the Western Han Dynasty is now a laughing stock, let alone the Lu family who was wiped out from the Spring and Autumn Period. Of course, from a certain perspective, the Lu State before the Spring and Autumn Period may be like the emirate in a certain region of Africa in later generations. There will always be some people who foolishly think that this name is good and the style is high.

In addition, Lu Yi really used his heart at that time and found some people to praise him. He spent all the remaining money in the family and made the family that was not very wealthy even worse... Well, there is always something wrong with this description. a sense of familiarity...

Being able to spend money is not a problem; not being able to make money is a problem.

Before Lu Yi could make back the money he had spent, he was taken down.

The person who did it was no one else, but the four major Jiangdong families.

As for why the four Jiangdong families attacked him, the reason is very simple. As the saying goes, beating a dog depends on its owner, and sometimes it turns into beating a dog to show its owner...

Lu Yi's family is simple, his background is small, and there is no connection between left and right, so after beating Lu Yi, it will not be contaminated by others, and the way Lu Yi jumps up and down is really annoying.

However, for Lu Yi, this incident was simply a disaster!

For ordinary people, being an official in Han Dynasty is not something you can do if you want to be an official...

Why Lu Yi was appreciated by Sun Quan was not because of how famous Lu Yi was, but because Lu Yi appeared in the right place at the right time!

Sun Quan wanted to cooperate with Jiangdong's big families, but at the same time he couldn't completely rely on Jiangdong's big families, so Sun Quan needed some people to help him contain these Jiangdong big families, so people like Lu Yi, Pan Zhang, Zhou Tai, etc. became Sun Quan's Minions.

To become a minion, you must have the consciousness of a minion.

Does the lackey at the door have to watch the door for the owner when the owner is not at home?

Even if he is abandoned by Sun Quan now...

Lu Yi believes that he will be reused, and he will definitely be. In order for that day to come as soon as possible, Lu Yi must be prepared at all times.

There was a knock on the courtyard door...

Lu Yi shivered and woke up from his deep thoughts. He hurriedly came out of the living room and opened the door of the small courtyard. When the newcomers arrived in the courtyard, Lu Yi habitually stretched out half of his head and went out to look around. He looked at it and then closed the courtyard door.

"how? Lu Yi asked, "What's the news?" 』

"Hehehehe..." The person smiled evilly and did not answer immediately.

Lu Yi reluctantly reached out and touched his arms, then gritted his teeth, took out a small bunch of Zhengxi coins, and patted it into the man's outstretched palm.

"Master Lu is so proud!" "After taking the money, he naturally boasted, and the visitor said with a smile, "Outside the east gate...Zhang Dimao served wine and invited many people...south of the city...nothing happened...west of the city, Mr. Wang is sixty Shou, I also invited a lot of people..."

Lu Yi nodded while listening, then glared, "That's it?" ! 』

The visitor turned around and left with a smile, "I have a piece of news. There are a few new faces at Wang's Restaurant in the south of the city... Okay, Mr. Lu, stay here. I'll see you later, Mr. Lu..."

Lu Yi was so angry that he glared and cursed: "If you continue to use these shabby things to get money, just don't do it anymore!" 』

"Next time, I'll do it, next time..." The visitor laughed and left, not sure whether he meant that he would be more serious next time, or that he would still be immodest next time.

Lu Yi closed the courtyard door and walked into the living room with his hands behind his back, thinking at the same time.

Spending money to buy news is the only thing Lu Yi can do who lives at home but has his heart in the court. It also makes him feel that he is not too far away from the court. Perhaps most of the information is of little use, but Lu Yi believes that one day these things may come in handy...

"The four damn families...the four damn families...will catch you sooner or later..."

Lu Yi took a long breath and tried to straighten his waist to make himself look more imposing, but he soon gave up.

After all, the dog will only gain momentum when its master comes back.

And now, Sun Quan is coming back soon.

……( ̄▽ ̄)“……

The night is getting darker.

In the darkness, the streets that should have gradually become quiet now suddenly became noisy for some unknown reason. The surrounding shops and courtyards were alarmed. The sound of shouting, crowing of chickens and barking of dogs made many people sneak or walk. Climb on the wall of your home and take a look, or open a crack in the door and take a look.

"Today, I'm going to eat meat and drink wine with you!" 』

Wang Erlaizi said hello as he walked forward. Although some idle people along the way didn't understand what was going on, they were moved when they saw the current situation. They secretly covered their faces with their robes and followed behind.

Taking advantage of the trouble, taking advantage of the fire and fishing in troubled waters are simply two skills that an idle man must have. As the saying goes, if you don't open for three years, you will have to wait for three years after opening. Anyone who doesn't know how to take advantage of the opportunity to make a profit is not an idle man.

Why are cities basically shut down at night and enforcing curfews?

Because the bigger the city, the more it eats people.

Then there are times when those who are being eaten can’t help it. Therefore, although Wu Jun is not clamoring to see each other every day and apply it in the morning and evening, there are still a few times every year, either because of this or because of that. But most of the time, some people are forced to make a fuss because they can no longer survive.

The commotion is usually not too big. In many cases, it is nothing more than beating a few people, smashing some shops, and destroying some ordinary houses. As for the big households with soldiers guarding and servants guarding them, basically even a hair is injured. No, so in many cases, these big households usually don't come out. No matter how noisy they are, they will disperse before dawn, and someone will naturally come to clean up the mess.

But this time it's different.

Normally, the reason for rioting is to find someone to reason with and express their grievances, so most of the people who make trouble are shouting and shouting, and rarely take action. However, Wang Erlaizi and others came with the intention of taking action from the beginning...

After a store was smashed, the original chaos escalated into a riot.

Those who had grabbed something no longer had any worries. The excited laughter and shouts stimulated everyone's nerves, and for a moment everything around them was shrouded in frenzy!

The crowd roared past, and in the blink of an eye everyone's eyes were red. They were tearing and shouting everywhere, and the order in the south of Wujun City was completely destroyed.

The person who got the money and artifacts further stimulated others, and the fire began to surge. I don’t know who set the first fire, and then more people with red eyes, chasing the smell of the property, swarmed towards them. go!

"There's wine here!" 』

"There is food here!" 』

Chaotic whistling sounds came and went, clashing and stirring in the streets and alleys of Nancheng, Wu County. Black smoke billowed up, and countless sounds collided, like a pot of boiling hot porridge that had been knocked to the ground, with various bubbles emitting and steaming heat waves.

Wang Erlaizi and others did not fully understand what Zhang Dimao wanted to do. After all, their level was too low. However, under the pressure of a hungry and full life, they could find an opportunity to stir up trouble. It is also common to acquire some wealth.

Besides, just like what Zhang Dimao said, as long as you don't disturb the nobles' shops and mansions in Beicheng, it won't be a big deal. Once you get into the alleys, you will see that everyone is a good citizen of Jiangdong, a big man and a kind-hearted citizen!

Besides, Sun Quan is not really a good lord. The Sun family has been in Jiangdong these years and has not brought any good future to Wang Erlaizi and others. Some of the idle men responded to the conscription and became soldiers, and the money and food they received were also discounted. Who knows how much they ate!

The resentment and dissatisfaction suppressed by life were absurdly triggered on such a night, exploded, spread and burned...

…ε(●-●)(●-●)(●-●)…

Outside the east water gate of Wujun City, there are several moored ships, far apart from other ordinary ships.

In the cabin of one of the ships, it seemed that he was Sun Fu who had rebelled in Juzhang.

Sun Fu surrendered and was led all the way back to Wu County.

Sun Fu did not wear armor, and he did not even wear the crown of ordinary nobles. He just wore a simple cloth robe and a cloak to protect him from the wind and cold.

After the Juzhang rebellion, Sun Fu realized something was wrong. On the one hand, it was because the rebellion started too suddenly, and on the other hand, it was too smooth.

It's like there's a road already opened. Although it's convenient to walk there, it's empty...

The subsequent evolution became even more interesting. Under the restriction of Mrs. Wu, no one from the Sun family went to Juzhang to quell the rebellion, and the surrounding counties and towns did not send troops.

But things can't stand still forever, just like time can't stand still, and people can't come back from the dead.

It's late at night, most people have fallen asleep, the breeze is coming, and the water is calm.

The large ships and small boats anchored outside the east gate of Wujun were all silent. Except for the torches hanging high on the masts, there was a dark bank on the water. Most of the soldiers on the ship had fallen asleep. Except for the night watchmen, no one was walking around on the ship.

The lights on Sun Fu's boat were also dark, but he did not sleep. He stood in front of the window, looking at the Wujun city wall with only a few flames in the distance, his face calm.

In a daze, some distant sounds floated in the night wind, and then spread into the cabin...

Sun Fu turned around and saw a faint fire rising near Wujun Nancheng. He was stunned for a moment and then frowned.

The soldiers on the ship were also awakened. Someone rushed to Sun Fu's cabin, pushed the door open without ceremony, stretched his head in and took a look. He happened to meet Sun Fu's cold gaze, and then subconsciously snorted. , slammed the hatch and left.

"Everyone wake up!" Look everywhere! No chaos! 』

Footsteps sounded chaotically on the ship, echoing the commotion in the south of Wujun City.

"This is for someone..."

Sun Fu lowered his eyelids and sat with his eyes closed like a statue.

"who is it? Who is it? 』

……╭(╯^╰)╮……

Zhang Dimao hid in the grass, staring at the ships in front of him with bright eyes.

Behind Zhang Dimao were the water-based experts he had brought this time. They were all squatting in the grass, revealing their eyes like wild beasts. Living in this world, Zhang Dimao feels that it is not a sad thing to become the minions of noble people, because what is even more sad are those who are not even qualified to be minions...

Hunger, illness, and labor. Teenagers have to take on the heavy responsibilities of the family. Aging begins at the age of twenty. People in their thirties and forties suffer from illnesses. Various deformities of the body and red, swollen and painful joints caused by long hours of labor. And the tears that still cannot be given to feed and clothe the children.

Zhang Dimao's father was an honest man who couldn't even beat a fart with a stick.

So his father was beaten to death.

He was beaten to death by the ranger because Zhang Dimao's father accidentally knocked over the ranger's drink.

Zhang Dimao's father didn't know how to defend himself, nor how to protect himself. When someone hit him, he would just run away holding his head, and then he was caught up...

Having enjoyed the fight, the ranger went back to continue drinking.

And Zhang Dimao's father never farted much until his death. I just held Zhang Dimao's hand, and then reluctantly died...

Then Zhang Dimao grabbed the only remaining iron tool at home, a hoe that was originally used to treat the land, ran to the market, and hit the hoe on the head of the ranger and libertine who killed his father!

Just like cutting off his own farmland, he also cut off Zhang Dimao's original road.

The old ranger did not expect that what he drank was guillotine.

The old ranger died.

Abandoned like a wild dog in the market, no one collected the body.

Zhang Dimao stood next to the dead old ranger's body and successfully changed his profession to become a new ranger.

Because he was avenging his father, the local magistrate said something with a smile, waved his hand as if to chase away a fart, and just fined Zhang Dimao for a month of hard labor before letting him go.

From that moment on, Zhang Dimao discovered that he was actually nothing, not even a fart.

Now, Zhang Dimao felt that he was getting old too, because the dead old ranger appeared from his dream without knowing when, with a head full of blood, cursing him mercilessly, waiting for him...

Zhang Dimao waved his hand forward, then bit into the bone-breaking knife and got into the water.

The sound of water gurgling is like the sound of blood spurting out after a large blood vessel in the human body ruptures.

Behind Zhang Dimao is a ranger like him.

Biting the knife the same way.

The blade licks blood.

Once you embark on this road, you can only move forward. If you stop, you will die.

Zhang Dimao couldn't stop because the person behind him also had a knife!

……ヽ(`⌒??)??……

The Wu soldiers at the east gate did not move.

Although the hustle and bustle of Nancheng continued to reach the water gate in the east of the city, it seemed to be just background music and could not attract much attention from these Wu soldiers.

The leading general stood on the water gate wall in the darkness, holding his sword. Looking down through the battlements, the water waves were rippling in the sporadic firelight, like fish caught in a fishing net struggling desperately.

Behind the general is a group of soldiers wearing armor.

The murderous intent spreads.

It seemed that he didn't wait long. After there was a commotion on the ship below, the general sneered and actually ordered the door to be opened and rushed out of the city!

The soldiers and armor clashed loudly, reflecting the cold light in the dark night.

The soldiers on the ship cheered, while the Zhang Dimao people who climbed onto the ship from the dark river were panicked and didn't understand why the original plan went wrong...

"Protect the general!" 』

The water gate garrison general roared loudly and with ferocious faces, hurriedly rushed towards the ship.

The soldiers on the ship were overjoyed and came forward, saying, "Great!" The thief is over there! 』

"good! ” The water gate guard general laughed ferociously, “I got it! Go ahead with confidence! ” As he said that, he slashed hard with his sword.

"clang! 』

The two swords struck each other, and the ship soldier who blocked hastily was slashed back two steps. Before he could scream again, he was hacked to death by the water gate soldiers who rushed at him and fell into the water.

"What are you doing?" ! 』

The soldiers on the ship had no idea that what was waiting for them was not reinforcements, but evil spirits urging them to die.

Things started in a hurry, and the number of soldiers on the ship was not very large. In addition, under the great joy and sorrow, they retreated steadily, and they were all killed in the blink of an eye...

"They are our people!" ” Zhang Dimao laughed, took in the cold air, covered the wound on his arm, and came forward happily. "It's done!" Done! 』

The general wiped the blood from his face and walked towards Zhang Dimao.

"Brother is... uh..." Zhang Dimao was about to go up and chat with him for a few words, but suddenly he felt a chill in his chest and abdomen, and then he saw the general's ferocious smile.

"Who the hell is your brother?" ! 』

The general raised his foot and kicked Zhang Dimao into the water.

The moonlight is chaotic.

The water is ice cold.

In a daze, Zhang Dimao felt that the old ranger from back then had appeared out of nowhere, hugged his waist, wrapped around his back, and dragged him bit by bit into the boundless darkness with a strange smile...

"Kill them all!" ” The general roared, with a strong smell of blood, “Don’t let anyone go!” 』

The screams and the sound of falling into the water gradually became silent.

The hatch was opened again.

“What is supposed to come will come eventually. ” Sun Fu sat in the cabin, looking at the general who broke in through the door, and raised his head with a calm expression, “Who do you belong to? 』

The general smiled ferociously: "Go to Huangquan Road and ask!" superior! 』

Amidst the shaking of light and shadow, blood splashed everywhere...
