Strictly speaking, Yan Qing handed over to Sun Ce's hands there are two main things: one is to get the list of soldiers who died in battle when fighting with the Yellow Turbans, the deceased's military service will be exchanged for silver acres of land, apply for relief from the official warehouse, and personally go to comfort the orphans; the second is to collect the stragglers who fled here from the Jiangnan belt, so that they will help Shouchun City to build up a ceramic pipeline for sewage, and then planted with a large number of shades of greenery.

Sun Ce strong martial arts, also has the talent, but in Yan Qing will be the general process are listed clearly, he still came to a blind like a black.

Other not to mention, the light of these he either need to visit the door, or can go directly to the barracks to inform, or is on the march outside, have to patiently wait for its return to the name of the generals, Sun Ce still do not recognize the whole, suddenly the head is as big as beans.

The good thing is that once he thought that Gong Jin was in the city, his heart was quite settled, and he was busy seeking this powerful and reliable foreign aid.

Zhou Yu was at the post when Sun Ce touched the ground. After receiving Yan Qing's promise, he had planned to wait for another day or two, and then prepare a generous gift to ask for a meeting in the name of gratitude.

Unexpectedly, Yan Qing not only keep his words, but also acted in a swift manner, only half a day's work had passed since he had made his presumptuous request, and his beloved friend, who was full of worries, came to the door in a lively manner.

"When I heard Mr. Dao Gongjin here, Ce still found it hard to believe, but I didn't want it to be true."

The two could not help but embrace each other tightly, I do not know how long, Sun Ce only sighing to let go, let Zhou Yu carefully measured him from head to toe, tiger eyes wet sighed: "η­–εΎ—ε›δΉ‹θ°Š, life is enough, death is not hate?"

"If you consider Yu a brother, why are you still saying something polite for no reason?"

A heart finally fell to the ground, Zhou Yu feigned displeasure and rebuked him, but the corners of his mouth unconsciously brought a smile.

Sun Ce sincerely apologized and made a small submission, "It was Ce who made a slip of the tongue, let Gong Jin do what he wants."

Zhou Yu guffawed, "If Bo Fu still has the heart to joke about it, Yu can also feel at ease."

Not a word about his own dedication to traveling thousands of miles after hearing the bad news and sparing his family's money to get him out.

In addition to a long time without sunshine, skin color slightly pale, Sun Ce's appearance only than their own memories, that two years ago, the appearance to be mature and healthy for a few points, handsome, cool like his father, eyes glittering God, see this trip can be said to be a disaster of the disaster of the prison, and did not call him to eat what a great deal of suffering.

The total angle of friendship through trials and tribulations, reunited after a long period of separation, there are countless heartfelt words to say, and so Sun Ce finally remembered to come to the intention, it is already the evening meal time.

He was just about to ask, he remembered another thing, the words clearly have been to the mouth, hard to be changed by him: "Gongjin now can be out of the civil service, or in the situation of a certain marquis to report to the post?"

Because of Sun Jian's untimely death, Sun Ce's situation has also changed drastically, although the topic of the party has much to do with the recent situation, are inevitably mainly in the Sun Ce turn, and forgot to ask Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu's mind is penetrating, heard the sound and know the meaning of the string, just look at Sun Ce's color change, know that this question is not simple, and gladly said: "Bo Fu is afraid that the intention is not in this question."

Sun Ce laughed aloud, "It's not that Ce intends to hide it, but it's not good to rashly export it and ask Gong Jin to make things difficult for him."

Zhou Yu shook his head in amusement and told the truth: "Yu has a subordinate husband who is now serving as a governor in Danyang, and Yu has occasionally assisted him in his work, but has not formally assumed any official position. I don't know if this answer can be considered to be barely in line with Bo Fu's wishes?"

What he did not say is that his uncle, Zhou Shang, had repeatedly hired him for important positions, all of which he refused because of his young age and lack of qualifications, while making connections with famous scholars in the south of the Yangtze River, while patiently waiting for a good friend to inherit his father's legacy, so that he can help when he wants to make a comeback.

However, the situation is changing rapidly, which Zhou Yu never expected.

In fact, anyone knows that the former governor Chen Wen's neighbors, there is no one who does not salivate to fall into the owner of the thing, as if a large piece of fat meat Yangzhou's. But the ability is still hesitant to make the decision even if it offends the death of Hebei Yuan family in the short term to swallow it. But the ability to still hesitate, the short term did not make up even if offended the death of the Hebei Yuan family will be swallowed down the determination, has been no scruples, since the tearing of the face of Yuan Shao on every side of the Yuan Shu to the first to get, only to secretly regret.

I do not want to Lu Yuzhou but full of vigor, in the wonderful hand, so that the years of war to beat a thousand holes in the Yuzhou revitalization, a faction of thriving, and did not willingly hibernate, but grasp this great opportunity, without saying a word on the attack on the Yuan Shu a surprise.

Before for the quick attack to take Shouchun, Yuan Shu dumped all the county's strength and out, only left a useless watchman, but the result is cheap waiting for a pot of Lu Bu, and logically was captured by the whole. Being left behind, his eyes of the incompetent in turn escaped, see their own Lord did not get a few days on the bad luck, can be said to be the whole army, where there is the courage to send troops to save people.

Thus, in the blink of an eye, not only did the huge Yangzhou fall into Lu Bu's hands completely, but even the Emperor of Chang'an court was somehow compelled by him to give the symbol of orthodoxy of the runic seal to Yan Qing, the chief strategist who had been appointed as the Assassin's General, thus accomplishing the rightfulness of the name.

And Zhou Shang this Danyang governor, nominally has always been subject to Yangzhou jurisdiction, once involved in their own, the Zhou family can not seem like an outsider as peacefully watching.

It was no exaggeration to say that whether Zhou Shang, the governor of Danyang County, stayed or resigned was only a matter of Yan Qing's whim.

Therefore, if ninety-five percent of Zhou Yu's purpose for this trip was to save his closest friend, then half of it was to observe Yan Qing.

Sun Ce is really unlucky, just after the mourning period, he suffered from this disaster, and became a fish in the pond by the fire of the city gates. But he was also blessed by the misfortune, without having to die for the capricious Yuan Shu, he was able to return to his father's old army, which he had longed for.

Unlike Sun Ce, who was suddenly stunned by this pie falling from the sky and was terrified and grateful for this trust and generosity, Zhou Yu was left with nothing but a bitter smile once he heard that he had fished out a great gift from Lu Bu without any effort.

Sun Jian left the group of people is elite proud courage, always attached to the old master, whether in Lu Bu, or Yuan Shu, is a real chicken ribs, only in the hands of his son Sun Ce, can send out beyond the level of utility to.

But in the eyes of outsiders, the first fledgling, only in the area of Jiangdong because of the more famous people and some reputation, but also did not make an inch of success to get this big gift Sun Ce, but suffered a great favor.

For Sun Ce, it is important to get back his father's old army, but he has put himself under Yuan Shu's command, and he is also looking for a place to train and get sheltered by the big power, until he and the time are ripe, and then he will look for a reason to get out of the independence.

If Sun Ce serves the master is a bad character, words are not trustworthy, the future rebel out of the name of the teacher, the cause of the incident, much easier, Lu Bu is not like the rumors that the importance of profit and light talent, light cunning repeated, but also to so a little backward - if it is really do not attach importance to the Sun family's old part, only to do the favor of the people would be fine, but if the Lu Bu really see through the potential of Sun Ce, there is this resolute determination, and that city of unfathomable Yan Qing in the side to assist, difficult to make any big mistakes.

Then it would be as hard as heaven for Sun Ce to successfully get away and become independent later on without being scorned by the world for being ungrateful.

But it's not Sun Ce's fault, he was still a captive under the manpower, even his life was not guaranteed, if Lu Bu really had the intention to attract and reuse him, even if he was aware of it, how could he retreat and refuse to move?

Sun Ce was oblivious to his friend's deep concern, and nodded his head briskly, "In that case, Ce has an unkind request."

Zhou Yu draws out his sorrows, stares and listens carefully, and after listening to Sun Ce pouring out his bitterness, he can not help but marvel at Yan Qing's thoughtfulness and good intentions, but he is also keenly aware of the many things that are not right.

Both of these tasks, which are extremely heavy in workload, have told Sun Ce to get away from dealing with the many high-ranking generals in Lu Bu's army, and have also helped him to familiarize himself as soon as possible in order to integrate into the atmosphere of the army, which is said to be a way to kill two birds with one stone.

However, when Yan Qing, who is highly proficient in recommending and employing people and has the elegant name of Bole, spared no effort to enlist them with heavy treasures, he really could not see that Bofu's talent did not lie in this?

But what virtue or ability did he have that was worthy of the other party's painstaking efforts to intentionally space out Bofu to do the math?

Zhou Yu is not being overly paranoid, but he can't help but think in this direction, getting more and more unnerved.

Seeing his silence, Sun Ce couldn't help but call out, "Gong Jin?"

Zhou Yu raised his eyes, right into his friend's eagerly expectant gaze, half a long sigh, only helplessly do the third bird that falls with the stone.

And Yan Qing's mind is full of corpses everywhere in the horror of the picture, a moment without stopping to run to the temporary set up of the epidemic area, at first glance, all things are in order, far from what he imagined that chaotic and serious, although everyone dew depressed, military discipline is still strict, can not help but breathe a sigh of relief, ordered to accompany the medical practitioners are to learn him to wear a good temporary made masks gloves, and only then people to pass the word into the camp.

Zhao Yun, who was most worried about him, rushed out from the main account on hearing the news, and confirmed with his own eyes that the other party was safe and sound, Yan Qing was just about to open his mouth, and Zhao Yun, who was also sure that the leader of this strangely wrapped and unorthodox team was his own military counselor, furrowed his brow tightly, and took a step forward without hesitation, forcibly dragging Yan Qing outside as he first stepped into the battalion.

Yan Qing was caught off guard, and was directly caught off guard by the monstrously strong Zhao Yun, who held his waist with one arm and dragged him hard out of the camp, and in his bewilderment he only had time to ask, "What's wrong with Zi Long?"

Zhao Yun sinking face when extremely bluffing momentum, also do not take care of this ask, dragging Yan Qing enough to walk hundreds of steps, thinking that it should be considered safe, only to be able to stop, full of disapproval staring at Yan Qing half a dozen times.

Usually stuffy, straight-hearted, serious and low-profile honest people once angry, and always impetuous and violent, lifting the table and slamming the bowl as a regular meal Lu Bu tantrums can not be compared, even the always articulate Yan Qing was shocked for a time to say, instinctively began to introspection.

Zhao Yun followed up with a shocking statement, unapologetically criticizing the Lord: "Simply nonsense! How could the Lord be so magnanimous as to be so confused, knowing that Mr. Zhao is used to acting recklessly and has never cared about himself, and still letting him come to a place where the plague is rampant?"

Yan Qing: "......"

After hearing Zhao Yun aggressively criticize Lu Bu, who was purely lying down, Yan Qing, who had been similarly lectured by the words of the clipped gun, only then came to his senses and persuaded Zhao Yun to reluctantly give up the idea of sending him back immediately.
