Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 712 Endless Funerals

In the midsummer of August, the scorching sun is in the sky.

In order to show his respect for the hero, Sun Quan gave Han Dang a funeral under the sun. All the civil and military officials of Jianye City were present, and even Lu Cong, who had a problem with Han Zong, also went to see him off.

Han Zong expressed his thanks to all the visitors one by one at the scene, but he missed Lu Cong who was "disregarding previous suspicions", which made Lu Cong's face blue and purple.

At three o'clock, Han Dang's funeral was over.

Sun Quan's face was covered with sweat, and when he was about to board the car to return to Jianye, a rider came not far away, riding on smoke and dust.

"My lord, be careful." The tiger guards immediately stood in front of Sun Quan.

The person who came turned over and fell off his horse two feet away, crawling and running towards the crowd, his sweat-stained face was full of panic and uneasiness, and he searched for the person he was looking for while running.

After locking on to the target Lu Cong, the man ran over crying: "My lord, it's a disaster."

Lu Cong looked at the others in embarrassment, because the person who came was a follower of the Lu family. On such a serious occasion, it seemed extremely rude to yell, especially if Sun Quan was still present.

"Oh, what a disaster." Han Zong teased eccentrically, and Sun Quan frowned slightly.

Lu Cong reprimanded in a deep voice: "Uncle Chen, my lord is here too, you are in such a panic, what's the matter?"

Uncle Chen ignored it, but reported with a sad face: "The head of the family was assassinated and seriously injured, and he is in critical condition right now."

"What are you talking about? Lu Cong stepped forward anxiously.

"The head of the family and the young master went to Jingshan to escape the summer heat, but were unfortunately shot in the chest by an assassin in the forest with a poisonous arrow." Chen Bosheng burst into tears. (Lu Meng had three sons, the eldest son Lu Cong, the second son Lu Ba, and the third son Lu Mu)

"Where's Shu Dan (Lu Mu)?" Lu Cong asked.

Chen Bo swallowed his saliva and replied: "The gangster's initial target was the third son, and the owner was shot by an arrow just to protect him. The family general fought back and repelled the assassin, but the owner was shot in the vital part, now woohoo"

Lu Cong hurriedly came to Sun Quan's side, holding back his grief and clenched his fists to report: "My lord, Zhong Han (Lu Ba) has encountered an accident, and Cong asks to go ahead."

"Meng Ze (Lv Cong) go quickly, I will arrive soon with the imperial physician." Sun Quan looked solemn.

"Thank you, my lord, I will take my leave."

Lu Cong clasped his fists in salute and rode his horse away with Uncle Chen, the civil and military officials who were presenting Han Dang's funeral couldn't help but sigh, and the accompanying servants brought their horses and carriages to go back to the city.

The moment Sun Quan boarded the car with a dark face, he heard discordant voices from behind.

"Hmph, it's really unpleasant to get retribution for someone's many unrighteous actions."

Sun Quan stopped to look for his reputation, and found that Han Zong was still the 'narrow-minded' Han Zong. He glared at him and got on the carriage. The accompanying warriors were divided into two rows and escorted Sun Quan away on the left and right.

Everyone in the room felt disdain for Han Zong's way of adding insult to injury, and they all shook their heads and left Han Dang's cemetery before him, but Han Zong didn't take it seriously and secretly felt refreshed.

"Yuan He (Han Zong), you should speak and do things according to 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 is not a final conclusion? Why do you always hold on to the governor? "Zhang Zhao deliberately stayed at the back, and taught the 'recalcitrant' Han family children alone.

Han Zong was very arrogant in front of the Lu family, but he was very polite in front of Zhang Zhao. He clasped his fists and replied calmly: "My nephew asked many times when he went to Jingzhou to move his grave. I can’t believe what I said, I was just complaining just now.”

"It's a false accusation without evidence. Everyone came to the funeral of Old General Han. It is enough to see that the Lu family is open-minded. Why do you continue to pursue it? Isn't the governor gone? Now that everyone has been buried, I don't think there will be any more trouble, the lord was obviously angry just now." Zhang Zhao's tone was very severe.

"My nephew knows that the military advisor will say good things for me, so let's not pursue this matter at all." Han Zong suddenly seemed very magnanimous. In fact, because Lu Ba was likely to die, he felt that the anger in his chest had already come out.

Zhang Zhao shook his head, "The old man is going to chase after the lord now, so you can do it yourself."

Before Han Zong left, he came to Han Dang's grave again, bowed his hands and said: "Father has a spirit in the sky, and the Lu family will suffer the consequences. If Lu Ba dies today, Lu Cong and Lu Mu will not be around for long. Your enemies It can be considered a report.”

On the way back, Han Zong was in a good mood, while his attendant, Xian Yuxiao, had a heavy expression on his face.

"Major General, don't you think there is something strange about this matter? I mentioned the idea of ​​kidnapping Lu Mu at home a few days ago, and today someone really went to kidnap Lu Mu and shot Lu Ba with a poisoned arrow. Isn't it too coincidental? Some?" Xian Yuxi frowned and analyzed.

"Lu Meng did a lot of immoral things, and some people wanted to trouble his descendants. I buried my father today, and Jiang Dong watched with both eyes. I can't say that I did it, right? Whichever hero did it, I have to thank him.”

Although Han Zong acted disapprovingly, he thought to himself that brother Sima was a bit powerful, and he found the assassin in such a short period of time.

When everyone returned to Han's house in the afternoon, Xianyu Xiao felt uneasy, and then called the attendants in the house to count the number of people, and found that there was a row (5 people) left behind in the Han's house, and the leader of the row was Chang Gao, Han Zong's confidant.

Xian Yuxiao inquired with other people, and learned that Chang Gao had left the mansion with those people without asking for instructions, and the answer to Lu Ba's assassination was ready to come out.

Han Zong didn't expect Chang Gao to take people to do big things when he just said it casually. He tapped his forehead frequently with his left index finger and middle finger, and it took him a long time before he said leisurely, "What do you think we are afraid of? Today I am burying my father, don't It is said that the lord may not be able to find out, even if it is found out, so what? Don't forget that Yang Tai and the others are ironclad evidence."

Xian Yuxi was stunned when he heard that, and advised him: "Young General, it's better not to admit it. Dudu Lu had many friends during his lifetime, and my lord loved him very much. If the anger of the thunder is really aroused, the Han family may not be able to gain a foothold in Jiangdong."

Hiss. Han Zong took a deep breath, and quickly ordered: "Go to Lu's mansion quickly to find out if Lu Ba is dead, and if he is not dead, invite two doctors to go over."

"Does this count as self-reporting?" Xian Yuxi was embarrassed.

In fact, Han Zong didn't need to send someone to inquire at all, because Lu Cong returned home and Lu Ba died.

After Sun Quan arrived, he held back his anger. After comforting the children of the Lu family, he left Zhuge Jin to assist in the funeral for Lu Ba, while he returned to the palace angrily.

"It's really unreasonable. Why are there endless assassins and endless funerals?" Sun Quan was so angry that he threw several glasses.

After a while, Zhang Zhao broke into the hall.

Looking at the mess on the ground, he picked up a piece of debris, cupped his hands and reported to Sun Quan: "The old minister just asked that the assassin was a hunter near Jingshan Mountain. After the incident, Zihuang (Quan Cong) led troops to search the mountain. Find"

Sun Quan gritted his teeth: "It's another hunter in the mountains. It's exactly the same as my brother's assassination. This is slapping me in the face. Call Yu Zecheng here."

"Now? Should we be more cautious?" Zhang Zhao reminded in a low voice.

"Well, remember to keep it secret."
