Three Kingdoms: The blind box draws Da Qiao at the beginning

Chapter 40 Return to the nest
Besides, Lu Yi and Yan Xiang met in five days to prepare gold, silver and jewelry. At that time, Lu Yi would go down to his nest and finally return to Wu County.

In the next few days, Lu Yi didn't go anywhere, but to comfort the Lu family.

The members of the Lu family had experienced this disaster and were all frightened to their wits.

Although they were released, they were still trembling with fear and did not dare to relax, for fear that Yuan Shu would regret it and take them back again.

On the morning of the fourth day, Yan Xiang had ten boxes of gold, silver and jewelry delivered!

Lu Yi checked and confirmed the number, then thanked Yan Xiang and asked him to convey his determination to complete the task to Yuan Shu.

Xu Sheng and two soldiers who were sent to deliver a message to Yuan Shu also found Lu Yi.

When the Lu family members saw these gold and silver jewels, they calmed down one after another.

This also means that they are truly safe.

Otherwise, Yuan Shu would not have been able to send so much gold and silver jewelry.

Lu Yi selected forty young and strong men from the Lu family, and each four men were responsible for protecting a box of gold and silver jewelry.

Afterwards, Lu Yi invited Nangong Yan and Xu Shu to take a walk in Shouchun.

Lu Yi knew very well that this would be the last time he came to Shouchun under Yuan Shu's rule.

Next time I come back, this place will become the second Shu County: everything has changed.

Xu Shu didn't want to go out.

During this time, he was obsessed with studying the two military books given to him by Lu Kang.

Lu Yi didn't force him.

Instead, let the young people in the Lu family learn from Xu Shu.

He himself and Nangong Yan walked around.

Walking to the east gate of the city, Lu Yi wanted to express some emotion when he saw the continuous flow of people coming in and out.

Unexpectedly, a column of cavalry escorted a carriage.

There are a hundred cavalry in this column!
They all wore armor and cloaks. The cloaks were inlaid with the word "zhou" in gold thread, which was extremely luxurious!
Not only did the city gate guards dare not stop them, they also hurriedly cleared the crowds on the main road.

The cavalry escorted the carriage into the city.

The crowd on the roadside was talking a lot.

"People from the Zhou family!"

"Really rich!"

"Isn't this true? Let's just say that the armor on this row of cavalry is something that ordinary people like us would never dare to match in our lifetime!"

"I heard that this cavalry has a total of 200 people. It was organized by the Zhou family themselves. Mr. Yuan did not give any support."

"Are you kidding me? With the Zhou family's wealth, why does Mr. Yuan need to take action on this?"

Lu Yi also looked at the cavalry with some envy.

Before time travel, he had read various novels and TV shows that it was so easy to form a cavalry.

After traveling through time, he discovered the difficulty of forming a cavalry.

Not to mention this line of cavalry, even the equipment of one cavalry may require the financial resources of a small county for a year.

As far as Juchao is concerned, let alone cavalry, even ordinary soldiers cannot be formed.

Seeing the envious look on Lu Yi's face, Nangong Yan whispered, "Everything will be fine when we return to Wu County. When the time comes, I'll go see my father and ask him to help fund the project."

Lu Yi glanced at Nangong Yan and said yes.

The carriage drove slowly, surrounded by cavalry.

The right side window of the carriage was opened.

A little girl of six or seven years old leaned her upper body on the carriage, her head sticking out of the window, her two watery eyes looking around with a curious look on her face.

A young man pinched her sleeve, obviously afraid that she would fall.

The young man is high-spirited, with a jade tree facing the wind, and a smile on his lips. He is clearly Zhou Yu.

Next to Zhou Yu, a middle-aged scribe in his forties with a long beard lowered his head and pondered something.

It's not Zhou Yu's father Zhou Yi.

Lu Yi looked at Zhou Yu and the middle-aged scribe inside through the carriage window, and breathed out slowly.

It should be Zhou Yu's father-in-law, Zhou Shang, who is now serving as the prefect of Danyang County.

When the two of them got here, Yuan Shu should have called them here.

Next, Yuan Shu should test Zhou Yu and ask Zhou Yu if he is willing to serve in Shouchun.

According to the original history, Zhou Yu would definitely not agree.

Zhou Yu's family has always looked down upon Yuan Shu.

I just don’t know if Zhou Yu will still ask to serve in Juchao according to the original historical development.

Of course, this didn't matter to Lu Yi.

His seal as the chief of the nest has been given to Yan Xiang.

He no longer cares about how Juchao develops from now on.

Without looking at Zhou Yu and the convoy, Lu Yi took Nangong Yan for a walk around Shouchun City again, and did not go back until dusk.

Early the next morning, Lu Yi asked Xu Sheng to lead the way, and the group set off towards Lujiang Juchao.

When I arrived at Lujiang Juchao, Juchao was no longer what it was a year ago.

Crops were grown on farmland everywhere.

Although it is still dry, you can see water flowing in the ditches between the farmland.

When passing through a town called Matian, a large number of people gathered near the reservoir.

Lu Yi asked the convoy to stop.

When the crowd gathered at the reservoir saw this, they all looked over curiously.

A figure wearing a straw hat and a sword hanging from his waist came over with the crowd.

Lu Yi also came forward to greet him.

Soon, he saw clearly who was coming.

The leader wearing a straw hat is none other than Lu Su!
However, there are obvious differences from the Lu Su I saw at Xiapiwetai before.

Lu Su before was dressed in luxurious clothes and had an air of an aristocratic prince.

But now Lu Su's face was dark, and there was even dirt on the tip of his nose.

Lu Su also recognized Lu Yi.Smiling at Lu Yi, Lu Su walked over quickly.

Lu Yi also hurried forward to greet him.

When the two met again, Lu Yi bowed to Lu Su first and said, "Master, thank you for your help during this time."

Lu Su said hurriedly: "Chief Juchao, you can't do it!"

The people behind Lu Su were none other than the people of Matian Town.

At this moment, seeing Lu Yi coming back, everyone gathered around.

"Isn't the county magistrate leaving this time?"

"County Magistrate, Magistrate Lu is a good official, can you also let him stay?"

Lu Su just smiled and did not answer.

Lu Yi responded to the people's inquiries and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm here to say goodbye to everyone."

Looking at Lu Su, Lu Yi said: "I can't decide whether the young master can stay and serve in Juchao. Now, I am no longer the chief of Juchao. The next chief of Juchao will have to wait for the Shouchun government office. Come and decide.”

The people suddenly became a little anxious.

"How does this work?"

"If you leave, Magistrate, what will we do?"

"How many county magistrates have come and gone in Juchao? No one is as willing to do things as the county magistrate!"

Lu Yi frowned slightly when he saw that the people were a little violent.

Xu Shu, who had been talking very little, took a step forward and whispered in Lu Yi's ear: "How about asking them if they are willing to follow them to Wu County? There are not many people in the Lu family now. To go to Wu County, we will definitely need to introduce other people. people."

"Compared to other people, the people in the nest have different feelings towards you, Shijun, and they are easier to control."

Lu Yi glanced at Xu Shu, nodded, and said to the noisy people: "In this case, everyone, I will go back to Wujun soon. Wujun is my hometown, and there are many farmhouses there. If you are willing to go, within three days, Rush to the gate of the government office. When the time comes, we will set off together."

"I, Lu Yi, can't guarantee that I can lead everyone to get rich together, but as long as I, Lu Yi, have a mouthful of porridge, I won't let you go hungry!"

Then the people started talking one after another.

"What kind of place is Wujun?"

"Is it convenient to have us here?"

"Is there a reservoir?"

Lu Yi smiled and said: "Wujun is a county, as big as our Lujiang River! The land of our Lu family is at least much larger than that of Juchao! I moved from Wujun, because the prefect Lu Kang was here at that time. Now , we are going back."

"There may still be a drought in Wu County, but this time, I brought a lot of money. When the time comes, we will buy a lot of grain and make our fields look like nests."

"Everyone, if you really follow me, you can be considered a member of the Lu family."

"As the head of the Lu family, I assure you that we will never treat you differently!"

"At least, as many fields as you have here in Juchao, I will exchange them for you with the same number of fields when we get to Wu County."

Only then did the people disperse.

"I'll go back and discuss it with my brother."

"County magistrate, please don't fool us!"

Seeing this, Lu Yi hurriedly said: "Tell the others."

After watching the people leave, Lu Yi looked at Lu Su and said, "Sir, what are your plans?"

Lu Su pondered for a moment and said, "You didn't notify me in advance. I really don't know what to do. I have to go back and discuss it with my grandmother."

Lu Yi said: "Master, I have a suggestion. I wonder if you are willing to listen to it?"

Lu Su said doubtfully: "You tell me."

Lu Yi said: "Grandma is too old and is not suitable for frequent bumps."

Lu Su nodded.

Lu Yi said: "You will definitely not be able to return to your hometown in Xuzhou. Xuzhou has been occupied by Liu Bei recently, and Yuan Shu will definitely not give up. A war is inevitable. Moreover, when I came, Yuan Shu also confirmed this with me."

Lu Su nodded again.

Lu Yi added: "Juchao is a good place for you to stay. However, as soon as these people come with me, other refugees will definitely break into this place, and there will definitely be another bloody storm."

"I don't know when the new nest leader will arrive. Even if he comes, I don't know his attitude towards this place."

"So, Sir, please consider going to Wu County with me."

Pointing to the motorcade not far away, Lu Yi said: "Here are a large amount of gold and silver jewelry that I brought from Yuan Shu. I plan to use them to manage our family's farmland."

"Young Master has helped me a lot, but I had nothing to repay."

"If the young master goes with me this time, at least, I will never let the young master and my grandmother be wronged."

"Besides, Wu County, at least the territories of our Lu family, will not be affected by the war."

"In today's troubled times, every step is dangerous. Grandma needs a stable environment to take care of herself."

Lu Su was silent for a moment and said: "I'll go back and discuss it with my grandmother. Here, I would like to thank Brother Lu, Ju Chao, for his kindness."

Lu Yi smiled and said: "Then let's go together!"

Lu Su said: "Okay."

The two rushed to the convoy.

Lu Su seemed to have thought of something and asked Lu Yi: "Brother Lu, by the way, ten days ago, a man claimed to be from Danyang and was related to Tao. He came to find you. He also said that if Brother Lu comes back, send someone as soon as possible. We'll look for him on the mountain behind Chaofu Yamen."

Lu Yi: "."

Danyang?

Surname Tao?

Could it be one of Tao Qian's two sons?

Lu Yi shook his head.

wrong.

People of this era pay attention to filial piety.

Tao Qian had only died a few months ago. His two sons escorted his coffin back to Danyang County, and they would definitely stay there to observe mourning.

At least three years.

It is impossible to find here at this time.

Lu Yi looked at Lu Su and said, "I understand. When I get to the government office and meet everyone, I will take people there."
