Chapter 876 The case is broken and the heart is broken

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, and his dim face looked particularly painful.

"Lu Li, what's wrong with you?" Lu Xun looked very nervous.

Lu Li is a younger member of the Lu Xun clan. He was chosen as Lu Xun's personal entourage because of his cleverness and cleverness. He joined the army three years ago and has just won the title. Lu Xun treats him as his own son and always takes good care of Lu Li.

When Lu Li heard the call, he opened his eyes in confusion: "Grand Governor... I had unbearable abdominal pain at night. I endured it for half an hour. I couldn't help it anymore before I made any noise. I didn't want to really disturb you..."

"You're confused, how can you bear it when you're 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 felt Lu Li's pulse on his wrist and 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 sign that his life was about to end.

"Mo...Mo will not eat randomly...maybe it was at night...that...drink..." Lu Li gasped and pointed hard in the direction of Lu Xun's bed.

Lu Xun felt cold sweat dripping from his back. What did Gu Li bring? Was it a pot of poisonous wine? Did the king want to harm me, or did Gu Li want 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, this...how is this..."

The guards who entered the tent and held 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 before returning to Lu Xun's tent again.

Lu Xun was not sleepy at all at this time. The pot of poisoned 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 know. Thinking of this, Lu Xun nodded slightly and waved his hand to the two guards, "You 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 torturous 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 bodyguard came to invite him to meet him. Gu Li followed him to the main tent with a puzzled look on his face.

"Grand Governor, I wonder if there is anything important to do when I summon 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 a fine 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 the important thing for me? The Governor is really polite. This wine was given to you by the King. How can I drink it without permission? It's better for you to keep it and enjoy it for yourself..." Gu Li clasped his fists and said goodbye.

"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 what? 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.

"Uh... 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. He wondered 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 are not so many details in the camp. General Gu can just drink from the pot."

"Eh..." 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 moral decay?

"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.

"Oh... General Gu, have you tasted it?" Lu Xun asked meaningfully.

Gu Li scratched his head, "Well... this wine tastes very good, but it's not very satisfying..."

"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, thinking to himself: Is Lu Li drunk? Why did he have to be carried in? He frowned and asked in puzzlement: "Grand Governor, if you are calling the end of the world so early, is it really because of drinking?"

"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..."

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: "My Majesty... My Majesty... How dare you doubt my Majesty..."

At the end of Gu Li's words, he suddenly felt like a knife was twisting in his abdomen, and he fell to the ground in pain. He finally understood what Lu Xun was talking about, and was immediately 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. Now think about it, 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 had not been alive from the beginning.

Despair made Gu Li think endlessly. In addition to Lu Meng, Zhou Yu, and Lu Su, the two governors who were killed in Jingzhou, they 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. Is this how he died? Haha...ah..."

Before Gu Li could finish his words, he and Lu Li spit out black blood and died. The last words awakened Lu Xun. Perhaps Sun Quan used this trick more than once? It was ridiculous that he was still touched last night.

The Governor of Soochow? Soochow is a big joke. No wonder Yan Zhen and Zhang Zhao both tried their best to refuse, and only he stupidly took it as a treasure.

Lu Xun's belief in life suddenly collapsed.

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 in a daze.

Around Chen hour, the scout reported the appearance of a patrol boat.
