In one day and night, first he lamented the current situation with Lou Gui, then suddenly encountered Taiping Dao's assassination of Liu Yan, then suddenly obtained Guan Yu, and then made a plan with Liu Yan overnight to kill the Zhang Jiao brothers... What was Gongsun Xun asking himself?

Although he had a lot of knowledge, he was actually a little confused after returning. He just exchanged a few words with Lou Gui and finally couldn't help but lay down in a drowsy state.

It doesn't matter if he is lying down, half awake and half dreaming, history, current situation, future; heroes, villains, rebels; loyal ministers, good generals, territory; world, common people, ambitions... all kinds of things are coming in droves, which is surprising.

Gongsun Xun became increasingly sleepless and sleepy.

On the second day, Liu Yan was "too frightened" and fled back to Yecheng with his state entourage. However, Gongsun Xun, a standard "lower official" plus a junior, did not come out to see him off. Instead, he said that he was also ill.

From Liu Junlang to the officials in the state, they naturally thought that Gongsun Xun was pretending to be ill... However, the former thought that he wanted to use this as an excuse to stay here on the river embankment so that he could negotiate with Taiping Road nearby, while the latter

But they thought that the other party was using this to shirk responsibility for Uncle Fang's assassination, and some even said a lot of sarcastic things.

However, after bidding farewell to Liu Yan, everyone in the Zhao Kingdom returned to the "work shed", but they all looked sad because Gongsun Xun was really ill.

Fever, cough, nasal congestion... typical 'occasional cold'.

However, it must be emphasized that occasionally catching a cold is not a small thing, at least not a small thing in this era. After all, there is not much that can be done about the disease itself these days, and people die because of a cold.

Too many. What's even more frightening is that some "wind-colds" are also contagious, because one person occasionally catches the cold and then the whole family catches the cold, and many of the whole family die in the end.

It may even turn into a plague!

Why did Gongsun Xun have doubts after meeting Wang Xiu that day?

Why is it a standard act of filial piety for younger people to serve their elders with soup and medicine these days?

Why are there so many ‘epidemics’ nowadays?

The answer is very simple and consistent... Due to the lack of relevant health knowledge these days, getting sick and caring for patients are really dangerous.

In fact, these dignitaries of Zhao State were willing to visit Gongsun Xun's work shed because it was still winter. According to their understanding, the cold wind in winter would not be too contagious... I didn't see it.

No matter how rampant the epidemic is in spring, summer and autumn, will it gradually subside in winter?

But after coming and going, visiting after visiting, everyone was helpless. What was even worse was that after a short visit, a group of people started arguing outside the work shed where Gongsun Xun was lying sick.

The cause of the matter lies in how to arrange Gongsun Xun.

For example, Wang Xiu and Ju Zong discussed that the Order of Handan should be sent to Handan City to have a better life. However, Wei Song, Cai Yong and other elderly people were worried that traveling in winter would aggravate the symptoms, which may not be better than staying in the city.

here.

In fact, the two parties argued endlessly at the beginning, and each had their own reasons, and they were all for Gongsun Xun's good. However, there was no explanation for yesterday's assassination. The state officials had changed their faces before.

It makes people feel angry; more importantly, with Gongsun Xun's illness and Liu Yan's departure, the original reward after the completion of the river embankment instantly became illusory! As a result, a group of local Zhao people who were watching

The powerful people inevitably felt a little anxious, so they couldn't help but stand in line one after another, and they started to make a fuss with each other.

For a moment, there was a smoky atmosphere outside the work shed.

At this time, someone needs to stand up and call the shots!

However, Lou Gui, who was the only one with this qualification at this time, backed down on the spot and seemed a little hesitant.

Of course, there are difficulties. From his own perspective, Lou Zibo is willing to agree with Wang Xiu and Ju Zong, but he is also the only one who knows about the many things his lord did last night, so he is afraid that Gongsun Xun will be killed at this time.

There will be some delays in sending it back to Handan.

Of course, this is because Lou Gui is overthinking it. It doesn’t really matter whether he returns to Handan or stays here. Once he grits his teeth, the most important thing is to stop this quarrel. But the key to the problem is that Lou Zibo may

He has gradually made some progress in coming up with ideas, but when it comes to taking responsibility and making decisions, he has some natural deficiencies!

Among the people under Gongsun Xun, there were many people who could make the decision, but he was not Nanyang Lou Gui.

If Lu Fan and Lu Ziheng were here, I am afraid there would be no need for these people to discuss it. They would send Gongsun Xun back for training early in the morning and then take care of his responsibilities. Moreover, everyone would definitely have nothing to say, because Lu Fan has been the leader for a long time.

Playing a similar role as a lieutenant, staying behind, he can almost be called Gongsun Xun's expressly designated deputy, specifically to deal with situations like this.

And if Shen Pei is here, given his character, he will definitely not let the quarrel continue, because Shen Zhengnan will definitely be "generous and fierce". He will draw his sword first and tie up whoever dares to yell.

stand up!

Even if Han Dang were here, I'm afraid he wouldn't be in such a situation, because everyone knows that Han Yigong is a native of Gongsun Xun, the "main knight" of General Gongsun, and the leader of the attendants of Gongsun County Lord.

It is his duty to protect and take care of his lord at critical moments. Therefore, as long as he opens his mouth and expresses his position, no one will say anything more. After all, when Gongsun Xun was ill, how could he resist Han Dang?

Actions will appear very sensitive.

However, Lu Fan was in charge of Handan, and he was inspecting the two counties of Bairen and Mid-Autumn Festival. When there was a sudden movement of the Zehu bandits in Dalu, Han Dang even took Wei Yue and some Yi Cong to Yiyang to check (now it seems that there was a reason)

)...Anyway, the person with the highest status here is Lou Gui! Wang Xiu, Ju Zong, Wei Song, Cai Yong and others all find it hard to get past Lou Zibo due to various reasons.

But Lou Zibo is not that material!

In the end, both sides were arguing and felt embarrassed. Moreover, although Xiati was almost finished, it was not finished yet. Handan Public School also had to prepare for the final exam... In short, there were still a lot of serious things to do, so they

They reconciled with each other, each took half a step back, and decided to let Gongsun Xun move to a nearby rich family's home. Qingqi then informed Handan and asked Lady Zhao of Handan to send someone to take care of him.

He was speechless all day and night, but in the early morning of the next day, when Gongsun Xun, who was sore all over his body, turned over and sat up from the couch, he also frowned for a moment.

Anyone who wakes up and finds that he has changed his sleeping place will probably frown.

Of course, after thinking about it for a moment, and adding that even when he was ill, Gongsun Xun did not sleep all the time, and had some memories when he was awake, he immediately reacted.

Then, Gongsun Xun, who probably realized the situation, turned over, but he was planning to be lazy and stay out of bed again.

However, as soon as he sat down, he sat up again.

"Who is at the door?" Gongsun Xun vaguely noticed someone standing at the door through the dim light of the morning, and his figure was particularly conspicuous.

"Junhou!" The extraordinarily tall man outside the door pushed open the door and greeted him. He turned out to be Guan Yu. "Is Junhou actually awake? But you think it's too cold with the windows open? This is what Lou Duyou ordered.

, said it is good for the body.”

"It's right to leave a crack in the window, and I should be fine." Gongsun Xun said while trying to squeeze his eyes... This is an instinctive action for people to find out their physical condition before they want to move. "It's just immortality, why are you

Here? It’s still dark, but you’ve been standing there all night? Who asked you to come?”

In other words, although Guan Changsheng has a strong personality, he is also an extremely smart person. He understood what the other party meant almost immediately.

Obviously, when Gongsun Xun saw Guan Yu standing in front of the door, he was a little worried that Guan Yu would be treated coldly or angered. After all, everyone can imagine that the reason why Gongsun Xun suffered from the cold was probably the same as last night.

The big man has nothing to do with it.

In fact, if it were not based on this fact, how could the arrogant Guan Changsheng offer to guard the door as a bodyguard as soon as he took refuge?

To put it bluntly, although he is proud, he pays more attention to repaying his kindness. The incident happened because of him, so how can he ignore it with a shy face?

However, this time, Gongsun Xunfu took the initiative to ask about the matter as soon as he woke up from his coma. His gesture of concern was beyond words, especially sincere and trustworthy, which made Guan Yu feel a little bit sorry... These days, nobles who are willing to make gestures

It is rare in itself, and this kind of sincerity that is difficult to fake is even rarer.

As soon as he thought about this, the words he wanted to explain seriously came to his lips, but Guan Changsheng just said it gently: "Since I have been recruited by the monarch, how can I do nothing? The river embankments are complicated, and everyone has responsibilities. Yu

If there is a free man, he will come to guard the place."

Gongsun Xun, who was sitting on the couch, heard this and said with a smile while putting on his clothes: "Speaking of this, after I entrust Taishou Dong to clear the case, I will arrange a job for you... Just Changsheng, among the people in this county.

Do you have any favorite job?"

This is what it means to do your best and let you take the responsibility.

"If I had been asked like this when I was still in Hedong, I would probably have said that I would like to serve in the army. But now that I have traveled all the way from Hedong, I know that what the Spring and Autumn Annals said is true." Guan Yu heard this.

, then he stood proudly in front of the door and answered. "Therefore, if you have any problems in the future, you can just leave them to me. There is no need to make any arrangements."

This sounds like a refusal, but it's more like a complacency.

But Gongsun Xun didn't take it seriously. He just got out of bed and asked casually: "What does the Spring and Autumn Annals say?"

"In "The Debate on Cao GUI", meat eaters are despicable!" Guan Yu was blushing but his heart was not beating. "Yu saw along the way that most of the people in power and power were mediocre people, and what's worse, the common people were greedy and despicable.

So, no matter how incompetent I am, I’m not worse than these people, right?!”

Gongsun Xun laughed and was speechless for a moment.

It can only be said that the reply of the nine-foot giant man in front of me is very Guan Yu. At least the pride of the upper class based on the lower class position is very immersive, exactly the same as in my mother's story.

And we must admit that people are proud of themselves, but what they say is true... Don't others know that Gongsun Xun has struggled everywhere? Don't you know? Whether it is the greed of meat-eaters or Guan Yu himself

Self-reliance on talents is indeed an objective fact.

Just like that, Gongsun Xun, who had woken up from a serious illness, started talking to Guan Yu while it was already dark. The two came out of the courtyard of this house and talked while walking, and gradually moved to a small slope outside.

Most of them revolved around the situation in the latter's family and what happened on the way to escape. Only then did Gongsun Xun know that Guan Yu actually had a marriage contract, and his family was not at the lowest level in Jie County, Hedong, because his grandfather was

He taught his grandson the Book of Changes and the Spring and Autumn Annals... This is already quite remarkable.

As for the obvious arrogance in him, I am afraid it is related to his previous experience on the run... Guan Changsheng abides by morality and does not steal or rob, so he can only hang out with the people at the bottom. It is inevitable that he will feel it.

The people suffered. It can be said that this escape played a strong role in shaping Guan Yu's character.

However, not long after their conversation, under the morning sun, the two of them saw a commotion on the river embankment from a distance, and then several horses came galloping towards them. The leader was none other than Lou Gui.

"Your Majesty!" Lou Zibo couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw Gongsun Xun standing on the hillside from a distance. "Are you really well? I heard the attendant went to report the news, but I didn't believe it for a moment."

"Uncle Zi doesn't know." Gongsun Xun also laughed far away when he saw the other party. "I am not afraid of getting sick by nature. No matter it is a serious or minor illness, I can get better after sleeping for a day or two. I guess there is a saying. You think,

Didn’t you survive the situation in Danhanshan that day?”

Lou Gui became even more happy when he heard this, and quickly fetched a horse from his horse, stretched it out himself and asked his lord to sit down.

Gongsun Xun did not refuse. He sat down and asked directly: "How about it? Are there any obstacles on the embankment?"
To be continued...
