Chapter 494

The news of Liu Mo's death spread quickly.

Even the ministers who hated him the most and hated him the most shut their mouths and expressed their condolences to him, while the rest of the ministers were usually very annoyed by him and wanted to hide when they saw him. , I don't know why, but I can't feel the slightest joy in my heart. On this day, in Luoyang, those fish and shrimp vendors were the most surprised.

They were very surprised. The fish and shrimps that are not sold very well on weekdays are very popular these days, and there are many people who come to buy them. Most of these people seem to be servants in certain mansions. Aren't fish and shrimp dismissive?What's happening here?
The official announcement of Liu Gong's death was read by Situ Luzhi to the officials. The expressions of the officials were all different, but there was no one who cried for it. The whole temple was silent, and only laments could be heard.

Zhuge Mansion, a lot of distinguished guests have come to Zhuge's mansion these days, as expensive as His Royal Highness the eldest son of the emperor, so Sikong Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, and the three princes have visited one after another, but they have not been able to see Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang has left Luoyang and left with him Yes, there is also Princess Raoyang, they are going to Dongyi, Liu Mo has already been buried, and the local pavilion guards buried him beside those stone tombs.

Zhuge Liang sat quietly in the carriage, looking at the roads on both sides. His eyes were dull, a little dull, and he didn't have the usual look at all. Princess Raoyang was sitting beside him, reaching out and holding his hand tightly, feeling a little worried Looking at him, there are guards around the carriage. These guards were sent by the emperor to escort them.

In addition to the Dongyi man, there was another person they had never thought of.

Huang Zhong, Marquis of the Northern Army, and Huang Zhong rode their horses and followed them slowly. The death of his only son hit him hard. After that, he became silent, seldom spoke anymore, and was always busy. Training soldiers, never distracted, but after Liu Mo passed away, he played to the emperor, praying to go to Dongyi to send Liu Mo off.

The emperor asked him to set off with Zhuge Liang.

He didn't walk in the front, nor did he bring any soldiers with him. He rode his horse and followed at the end alone.

From Luoyang to Ningzhou, the journey is indeed very long, and Zhuge Liang's health is not very good. Fortunately, Princess Raoyang is with him, and the emperor has also ordered that officials from all over the country must go to meet him and make proper arrangements. Therefore, where they arrived Everywhere, officials came to prepare meals, arrange accommodation, and drove all the way. It took nearly three months before they arrived in Ningzhou.

A group of people rushed to Dongyi. Under the leadership of the fisherman, everyone rushed to his residence. Liu Gong was buried here. There is no access between here and other places. The forest is lush and verdant, which is indeed refreshing. The air is refreshing, and there is a meandering river in the distance. Although the river water is not very clear, you can vaguely see huge and fat fish swimming back and forth.

When he got around the house, the fisherman was startled. Surrounded by a group of soldiers, the soldiers stood in various places very solemnly. Even Ting Zu could only watch from a distance. Everyone was surprised, and Ting Zu came. This is understandable, after all, the important ministers of the country and the emperor's confidants are buried here, and the pavilion soldiers should take care of them before Zhuge Liang arrives.

But what about these soldiers?
Zhuge Liang turned his head and looked at Huang Zhong. Huang Zhong didn't say a word. He took the fisherman and let him go on. He followed behind him. When the soldiers saw them coming, they gave way. Zhuge Liang was a little puzzled, but Without saying a word, they followed Huang Zhong and walked together. Through the woods, they could see a small hill.

On the side of the hill, there are several soil pockets.

Four of them are stone tombs. The newest one is much better than the rest. The stones are piled up neatly. Walking to the tomb, but Princess Raoyang could only stay outside, because she was a daughter, so she couldn't come in with Zhuge Liang.

Outside the tomb, stood six burly men.

Helmets in hand, heads bowed, they stood at the grave in mourning.

Seeing people coming, they turned their heads to look sideways. Zhuge Liang didn't know them, and he didn't know why they appeared here, but they recognized Huang Zhong who was at the front. Well, they should be happy, but on such an occasion, they couldn't laugh at all, and bowed to Huang Zhong as a farewell.

Huang Zhong nodded, still speechless, standing in front of the grave.

"Master, I'm here."

Zhuge Liang looked at the grave in front of him, and he knew that Shijun was lying here, sleeping peacefully. From then on, he would never see Shijun again, and Shijun would never speak to him, and he could not give himself any more. Catching chickens and catching fish, that face will gradually become blurred in my mind one day. Mr. Liu regards himself as his nephew, let alone him as his father and elder.
Thinking of Shijun's face, his eyes turned red again, even though he had cried countless times, the sadness in his heart was still indelible.

"You are Mr. Zhuge"

A person beside him spoke.

Zhuge Liang looked at him, cupped his hands, and said, "I'm right, thank you for coming to see Master off."

"You don't need to say thank you." After the man finished speaking, he was silent for a long time before he said: "I am still in the army, and I came here to see you off today, but I can't stay long. My name is Zhao Yun. These people, Wen Chou, Yan Yan , Tadun, Tian Yu", he pointed to one by one, and then said: "In the future, if you need help with anything, feel free to come to us."

"Mr. Liu was kind to us. If we failed to repay him, he passed away early. If you want to ask for something, you will come to find some of us, and some of us will work in Ningzhou, Youzhou, and Wodao."

"Thank you, everyone, bright heart"

"Farewell!"

Only then did a few people leave the place, and the soldiers outside dispersed.

"Mr. Zhuge, should Liu Gong's body be moved to another place? It was buried here in a barren mountain. At that time, he had no choice but to bury it here." The pavilion chief at the side asked helplessly. Zhuge Liang looked at this place and shook his head. , said: "It's better not to disturb Shijun, he is so quiet, it's just right here", he looked at the fisherman beside him, and asked: "Are the other four people my relatives?"

The fisherman nodded and said, "Mr. Liu said so. He even took me with him and carved their names. That's why I sent the big fish to your mansion."

"Master is finally able to stay with his family."

Zhuge Liang looked at the other tombs and bowed one by one. Suddenly, he noticed the words on the tombs.

"Huh? No."

"Mr. Zhuge, what's wrong?"

Zhuge Liang asked: "These are their respective names on it?"

"Exactly."

"Which is the tomb of Master Shijun's younger brother? Do you know?"

"This is it, Jihuli."

"He doesn't have that name. Shijun once told me that his younger brother is called Primus Teppola"

Hearing this sentence, the fisherman was startled, and quickly asked, "You said... Primus Teppola?"

"What's wrong?"

"This sentence is not a person's name, but a sentence in Dongyi language with a special meaning."

"Then, what exactly do you mean?"

The fisherman pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "Puri means to pray, Wutu means you, and Pola means to forgive me."

"Primo Teppora. Please forgive me."

Zhuge Liang looked at the fisherman in a daze, but was speechless. Those memories quickly appeared in his mind. In his memory, Shijun was always very uneasy after he came back from Ningzhou, and often talked to himself. He always said this sentence, "Prime Teppola", and he thought that he was missing his younger brother and was calling his name
It turned out that he was praying to his relatives, begging for their forgiveness, and he failed to avenge them. It turned out that when he thought of Master crying and whispering to the sky, he felt a sharp pain in his heart .

Zhuge Liang finally decided to live here for a while to accompany his master, and Princess Raoyang also stayed here. The princess quite agrees with Zhuge Liang’s decision. The scenery here is beautiful and there is no complicated. Zhuge Liang recuperates here, perhaps It could get better faster, so, with the help of the local guards, the two built another house nearby and settled down here.

Luo Yang,

The emperor was very dissatisfied with Zhuge Liang's behavior, of course it was not because he left his position, the emperor agreed to his departure, the main reason was Princess Raoyang, it's all right for you to go to the poor mountains and evil forests, why do you still have to take me with you? Did your sister suffer together in the past?He can only order the Ningzhou officials to take good care of the princess and not let the princess suffer. As for the son-in-law, it doesn't matter.

"I don't know when Kong Ming's illness will be cured. With Liu Gong gone, I have lost a great man." Liu Mastiff said helplessly. Sima Yi at the side rarely made any sarcastic remarks. Yuan Shu listened. , also sighed, and said: "Liu Gong passed away in a hurry in half a hundred years. I thought that he could succeed Lu Gong, but I didn't expect it."

"Master has friendship with him?"

"There is no friendship, but I still admire him very much for being able to teach disciples like Zhuge Liang and conquer several countries without bloodshed. He is a benevolent and capable minister."

Liu Mastiff nodded, and said: "I played for my father, hoping to let Liu Gong also enter the Hall of Heroes, but the ministers of the court seemed not very happy, because Liu Gong was a barbarian, they felt that Liu Gong and many loyal heroes would be together. Together, it’s not very suitable. They proposed to chase the title, but they didn’t let Mr. Liu enter the Hall of Heroes.”

"You don't have to worry about this matter. Whether you can enter or not, all you need is the emperor's order. The emperor also attaches great importance to Liu Mo. With the emperor's wisdom, Mr. Liu will definitely be able to enter the Hall of Heroes," Yuan Shu said.

While Yuan Shu was speaking, a soldier reported, "Sikong Yuangong is here."

Yuan Shu asked Liu Mastiff and Sima Yi to go back to study, and asked the soldiers to welcome Yuan Shao in. As soon as Liu Mastiff and Sima Yi walked out of the door, they saw Yuan Shao head-on. Yuan Shao was very tall and looked down at Liu Mastiff and Sima Yi. He said cordially: "Your Highness, the eldest son, long time no see, are you okay?" Speaking of which, Liu Mastiff didn't remember when he met this Duke Yuan.

At Yuan Feng's funeral, he only met once, and did not talk to each other.

However, he still cupped his hands and said: "Shang Hao, thank you Yuan Gong for your concern!"

"That's good. I've heard about your Highness's performance to the Son of Heaven. Don't worry, Your Highness. I will also go up to the Son of Heaven. I request Liu Gong to be listed as a loyal and virtuous person. The Son of Heaven is intelligent, and I will definitely not refuse."

"Thank you Yuan Gong!"

"You don't need to say thank you. In the future, if you have free time, come and sit in my residence. My eldest son, Tan, is about the same age as His Highness, and he admires His Highness very much."

After talking for a while, Yuan Shao let them go and walked into the study. Yuan Shao was startled. Yuan Shu was lying on the bed, motionless. Yuan Shao was so frightened that he hurried forward. Just as he was about to push Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu sat up immediately. , looked at his elder brother helplessly, and said, "So you haven't left yet?"

"Bastard, what did you say? Seeing that you are not moving, I thought you went with Mr. Liu!"

"I was waiting in the study. You didn't come in for a long time. I thought you had left, so I went to rest on the couch."

Yuan Shao shook his head, pulled Yuan Shu down, sat in front of him, and said, "I have business to do, so don't say too much that you once escorted a foreign trade business trip to Guishuang, right?"

"yes."

"Then how long did it take them to go back and forth?"

Yuan Shu frowned, thought for a long time, and said, "Half a year."

"How long is the longest time?"

"Once I was plundered by the Qiang people halfway, and it seems that it took eight months to return."

Yuan Shao's face gradually became solemn, and he said: "Something happened."

"kindness?"

"The foreign trade business trip we sent last year has been nine months. So far there is no news."
