The guard lit the lamp, and Lu Xun came to squat in front of Lu Li.
With the faint light, Lu Xun saw Lu Li's eyes half closed, his hands covering his abdomen, his dark face looking particularly painful.
"Lu Li, what's wrong with you?" Lu Xun looked very nervous.
Lu Li was a younger member of the Lu Xun clan. He was chosen as Lu Xun's personal entourage because of his intelligence and agility. He had only just finished his military service three years ago. Lu Xun treated him as his own son and always took great care of Lu Li.
When Lu Li heard the call, he opened his eyes in confusion: "The Governor-general had unbearable abdominal pain at night. He endured it for half an hour. He made no sound until he couldn't help it. I don't want to really disturb you."
"You are confused, how can you bear it when you are sick? You should have told me earlier. Did you eat something randomly? Are you feeling better now?" Lu Xun had read poetry and books, and was proficient in Qihuang's medical skills. When he took the pulse on Lu Li's wrist, on his forehead Sweat breaks out suddenly.
Lu Li was in his youth, and his pulse should be like the Yangtze River rolling outside the tent, but when he detected it, it was a stream that was about to dry up. He hurriedly opened Lu Li's slightly opened eyelids with his fingers, and what he saw was also a symptom of the end of his life.
"Momo will not eat randomly, maybe it's because of the wine at night." Lu Li gasped and pointed hard in the direction of Lu Xun's bed.
Lu Xun felt cold sweat dripping from his back. Did Gu Li bring a pot of poisonous wine? Is it the king who wants to harm me, or Gu Li who wants to take my life?
"Ah" Lu Li screamed in pain, and a mouthful of black blood spurted out from his mouth. He stared at Lu Xun with wide eyes as he fell, and the pulse in his wrist stopped beating.
"Lu Li. Lu Li" Lu Xun gritted his teeth and punched the ground hard.
"Grand Governor, what's going on?"
The guards who entered the tent to hold the lamp were used to seeing life and death on the battlefield, but Lu Li and Lu Xun were like father and son, so they didn't know what to do for a while.
Lu Xun stood up with cold eyes and whispered to the guard: "Lu Li died of a sudden illness. Please call someone in and take Lu Li's body to an empty tent for storage. I will bury him tomorrow. Don't make any announcement about this matter for now."
"Wei." The guard cupped his fists and left the tent.
After a while, the two guards took Lu Li away and settled him down, then returned to Lu Xun's tent to resume his life.
Lu Xun was not sleepy at all at this time. The pot of poisonous wine was originally related to Sun Quan's case. Gu Li's reason last night was rather strange. If Lu Li hadn't been greedy and took a few sips, then he would have been the one who died suddenly. But who wanted to harm him?
Call Gu Li over tomorrow morning and you will find out. Thinking of this, Lu Xun nodded slightly and waved his hand to the two guards, "You guys all go out and wait. Please ask General Gu to come see me after dawn. Remember not to talk nonsense."
"only."
When he closed his eyes, it was Lu Li's face. Lu Xun had a very hard night, but Gu Li had a good night's sleep with his head resting on the waves outside the curtain.
Early the next morning, Gu Li walked out of the tent and stretched. Lu Xun's personal guards came to invite him to meet him. Gu Li followed him to the main tent with a face full of doubts.
"Grand Governor, I wonder if there is anything important that I have called the general so early in the morning?" Gu Li clasped his fists and saluted.
Lu Xun acted very calmly. He put the wine bottle in front of him with one hand, and then said to Gu Li: "General Gu sent me some wine last night. After drinking it, I felt it was very good. I thought that the general is also a good drinker, so I kept it." I’ll give you some to try, please.”
"What's my business? The Governor is really polite. This wine was given to you by the King. How can I drink it presumptuously? It's better that you keep it for yourself." Gu Li said goodbye with fists in his arms.
"How can Lu Xun enjoy the reward from the king to himself? General Gu stayed to help me and said he was willing to listen to my orders, but now he doesn't even want to drink a glass of wine?" Lu Xun suddenly changed his tone, thinking that if you don't want to drink, then It's clear that he didn't bring it upon himself, and if he drinks it without any scruples, then the suspect is the owner of the wine.
"Well, I would rather be respectful than obey your orders." When Gu Li saw what Lu Xun said, he immediately clasped his fists and agreed. Then he stepped forward and held the wine bottle in his hands, weighing how much was left, and wondering what the governor meant? Do you want me to drink this residual wine?
Seeing Gu Li's hesitation, Lu Xun frowned and continued urging: "There aren't many details in the camp. General Gu can just drink from the pot."
"Hey" Gu Li then opened the lid, lifted the wine bottle and drank it all in one gulp, his movements swift and without any hesitation.
Lu Xun immediately ruled out Gu Li's suspicion and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. His whole family fell in Jianye and he loyally protected his master, but Sun Quan actually became murderous after the defeat. Why did he betray me like this? Is it the distortion of human nature or the loss of morality?
"Grand Governor, what's wrong with you?" Gu Li saw Lu Xun's expression changing back and forth and had no idea what was going on.
"General Oh, have you tasted it?" Lu Xun asked meaningfully.
Gu Li scratched his head and said, "Well, this wine tastes very good, but it's not very satisfying to drink."
"General Gu is in good shape." Lu Xun looked him up and down, nodded in praise, and then shouted to the outside of the tent: "Go and carry Lu Li in for me."
"Wei." An echo came from outside the tent.
Gu Li looked confused and wondered, "Is Lu Li drunk?" Why do you have to have someone carry it in? He frowned and asked in confusion: "Grand Governor, are you really drinking alcohol when you wake up to the future so early?"
"General Gu, please be patient." Lu Xun spoke concisely and to the point, signaling Gu Li to wait.
Not long after, Lu Li's body was carried into the tent. Gu Li was startled when he came closer and exclaimed: "Grand Governor, how could little Lu Li do this?"
Lu Xun stood up and walked to Lu Li, and said sadly: "Because of my greed, I drank the wine brought by General Gu last night and died suddenly of abdominal pain in the middle of the night."
"The wine I sent? Is the Governor joking with the general?" Gu Li was completely confused at this time.
"Hahaha, I don't know if the wine is poisonous, so I came here early in the morning to ask the general to test the wine. I hope the general is fine." Lu Xun looked at Gu Li and stroked his beard and sneered.
"Ah?" Gu Li was so shocked that he dropped the wine bottle, pointed at Lu Xun and stammered: "Master, how dare you doubt me?"
At the end of Gu Li's words, he suddenly felt like a knife was twisting in his abdomen. He fell to the ground in pain and rolled over instantly. He finally understood what Lu Xun was talking about, and was directly lifted up by two guards.
"Grand Governor, you knew it was poisonous, why did you want to harm me?" Gu Li shouted to Lu Xun while struggling, the severe pain in his abdomen did not stop for a moment.
"The poisoned wine was brought by General Gu. Think about it again, who wants to harm people?" Lu Xun asked meaningfully.
Gu Li suddenly woke up. What Sun Quan said to him at that time was about war and swords without eyes. If anything happened to Lu Xun, he had to control his thousands of actions. It turned out that Lu Xun was not alive from the beginning.
Despair made Gu Li think endlessly. In addition to Lu Meng who was beheaded in Jingzhou, the two governors Zhou Yu and Lu Su all died suddenly due to sudden illness. At this moment, Gu Li seemed to feel very enlightened, and he could die without leaving any regrets. Close your eyes.
"Hahaha" Gu Li looked at Lu Xun and shook his head and smiled bitterly: "People say that the governor of Soochow is short-lived, does it turn out that this is how he died? Haha."
Before Gu Li could finish his words, he spit out black blood and died like Lu Li. The last words awakened Lu Xun. Maybe Sun Quan used his tricks more than once? It’s funny that I was still touched last night.
Governor of Soochow? It's a big joke in Soochow. No wonder Yan Zhen and Zhang Zhao tried their best to refuse, and only they stupidly took it as a treasure.
Lu Xun's belief in life collapsed instantly.
The case was solved, and Lu Xun was heartbroken. He buried Lu Li and Gu Li by the river, and looked at the rolling Yangtze River foolishly.
Around Chen hour, the scout reported the appearance of a patrol boat.
Lu Xun didn't seem to hear him, he had a desperate attitude.
