At the foot of lumen mountain, Xu Shu's residence.

At this time, Xu Shu still lived with his mother.

Every day, Xu Shu was very free. He read books, carried water, and practiced martial arts in his spare time. The time of the day was passed like this. On such a day, Xu Shu felt nothing, but Xu's mother felt that it was not a good way for her son to stay at home all day and not become an official. She had to become an official.

When Xu's mother heard that Liu Xiu had returned to Xiangyang, she encouraged Xu Shu to visit him.

But Xu Shu didn't listen at all.

This situation makes Xu's mother very angry.

However, the son is the flesh that falls from his body. He can't beat him or scold him. He can only grind it slowly. I hope Xu Shu can go to Xiangyang to walk around.

Unfortunately, it still has no effect.

In the end, Xu's mother simply gave up, no longer persuade, can only let it go.

Xu Shu's ear was clear, and everything was still the same.

He did what he should do without changing his mind.

In the yard, Xu Shu is practicing his sword.

Xu Shu was a knight errant with excellent swordsmanship in those years. Although his temperament has undergone tremendous changes in these years, his martial arts have not fallen behind and he has been practicing martial arts.

On one side, Xu's mother is washing clothes.

Xu's mother looked at Xu Shu, shook her head and looked out of the yard.

Every day when washing clothes, she habitually looks outside, maybe someone will come. She looked, the official road outside was still empty.

However, the moment she took back her eyes, the light from the corner of her eyes swept to the corner of the official road.

Someone's coming!

Xu's mother looked up again and was surprised.

"Yuanzhi, come on, come on, young master Xiu is here."

After Xu's mother saw it clearly, her face was filled with joy, and her eyes were full of excitement. She quickly collected the clothes in the bucket, and then moved the straw stump to put in the yard. She looked at Xu Shu and said solemnly, "Yuanzhi, this time, I'll talk with xiugongzi. My mother will go back to the house and I won't disturb you."

Xu Shu stopped to dance his sword and said, "mother, young master Xiu is here. You can do whatever you want. There's no need to avoid it."

"No, how can that work? You talk about it. "

Without any hesitation, mother Xu went back to the house with the bucket. But she sat by the door, listening to what was going on outside. After a while, the sound of footsteps came to the gate of the yard.

"Xiyuyu!"

Horse neighing, Liu Xiu with Deng AI, once again came to the yard.

Liu Xiu arched his hand and said, "brother Yuanzhi, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Xu Shu said with a smile, "goodbye, Mr. Xiu. It's more elegant."

"It used to be like walking on thin ice, but now it's still like walking on thin ice," Liu said He glanced, didn't find Xu Shu's mother, asked: "aunt? Why didn't you see anyone? "

Xu Shu shouts: "Niang, is young master Xiu looking for you?"

After hearing this, Xu's mother came out with a smile on her face.

Liu Xiuxing saluted, then waved his hand, and Deng AI handed over some silk and satin he had brought this time. Xu's mother thanks and brings the gift back to the house.

After pouring tea for Liu Xiu, Xu's mother went back to her room.

Liu Xiu sat down with a straw stump and said, "Yuanzhi, this time I came here, I invited Yuanzhi to become an official in advance. The situation has changed. I'm afraid it's difficult to go on with the agreement with Yuanzhi. "

In the past, when Liu Xiu went to you County, he made an agreement with Xu Shu to take Yuzhang County, and then asked Xu Shu to become an official.

Now, Liu Xiu is in charge of Jingzhou. In the next time, he is likely to deal with the internal affairs of Jingzhou and quell the internal troubles of Jingzhou. He has no time to manage the war in Yuzhang county.

Even Liu Xiu's front may shrink.

Therefore, Liu Xiu made a special trip to visit Xu Shu and wanted to invite him to become an official.

Xu Shu smiles a little and says with a straight face: "I know about xiugongzi taking over Jingzhou. But even though he took over Jingzhou, the situation is very bad

Liu Xiu nodded and said, "because of this, I came to ask Yuan Zhi to help me. I need your help now. Although the current crisis in Jingzhou, but Jingzhou is bigger than Yuzhang County platform. I believe that Jingzhou platform can give you a space to display your talents. "

Xu Shu was no longer reserved. He understood that the current situation was not optimistic. He stood up, folded his hands, bowed and said, "Xu Shu, meet the Lord."

Liu Xiu laughed and said, "Yuanzhi, please get up. I need Yuanzhi's help. It's like a tiger."

In the room, Xu's mother heard the conversation between Liu Xiu and Xu Shu, and her cheeks stretched out. The corner of her eyes narrowed into a crescent, and the wrinkles in the corner of her eyes expanded.

My son has finally become an official, which is a great thing.

Xu Shu said: "Lord, let's talk about the situation in Jingzhou."Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "a few days ago, my father was buried in the earth. When I was buried before, I ordered the prefects of the counties to come back to mourn. But only Changsha, Lingling and Jiangxia prefectures came back to mourn. The prefects of Wuling and Nanjun did not come to mourn. Even the eldest brother did not come back. Today's situation is not optimistic. "

Liu Xiu said: "now there are Cao Cao in the north, Liu Bei and big brother in Xinye, Wuling county and Nanjun county are internal troubles, and Jiangdong County in the East is internal troubles and external troubles."

After hearing this, Xu Shu also showed a dignified look in his eyes.

It is really puzzling that the prefects of Wuling and Nanjun do not obey the orders.

Xu Shu asked: "Lord, did not come to the county, what reaction?"

"Not for the time being!"

Liu Xiu shook his head. He was ready for war in his heart.

If we really want to go to war, we can only go to war and take it back one by one.

"Newspaper!"

Suddenly, a loud voice came from outside the yard.

A soldier riding a horse, quickly came to the gate of the yard, he quickly entered the yard, knelt down on one knee, reported: "my Lord, don't drive, please go back to the prefecture immediately, something happened in Jingzhou."

"What's the matter?"

Liu Xiu's eyes also showed a trace of dignity.

I'm afraid it's not easy for the Iraqis to send someone directly to ask for help and say it's a big deal.

The soldier said, "I don't say Liu Qi is wrong!"

Liu Xiu's eyes narrowed, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. Liu Qi rebelled, or Liu Bei rebelled instead of Liu Qi. Liu Bei did not obey Liu Xiu.

"Yuanzhi, we'll go back to the city immediately."

Liu Xiu turned to look into the room and said, "aunt, I still have something to deal with. Now I will go back to the city with Yuanzhi. In a hurry, please forgive me. "

Xu's mother came out and said with a smile, "it's OK. It's OK. You're busy." After a pause, he looked at Xu Shu and said, "Yuanzhi, you must work hard to help xiugongzi. Do you understand?"

Xu Shu said: "my son understands that you should take care of yourself when you are at home alone."

Xu's mother nodded happily and waved Xu Shu away.

Liu Xiu asked the soldiers to walk. He, Xu Shu and Deng AI rode their horses and quickly returned to the city.

Back to the prefecture, Liu Xiu and his party went straight to the hall.
