Sun Qian was overjoyed. He had just escaped death and hated Wei Yan and the others to the bone. 'You let me go just like that. Why do you want to kill me? That's not the main point. The main point is that you sent a messenger to Yu Province. Although I didn't agree to it on the surface, I still helped you. You want to kill Mi Zhu? Fine! He, Sun Qian, will help you plan to have Liu Mang's messenger deliver a letter to Mi Zhu's mansion. Then, Mi Zhu will be caught red-handed and thrown into prison.
Sun Qian also had Liu Bei's permission. As long as Mi Zhu arrived at Sun Qian's residence, Sun Qian would still kill him.
But Wei Yan burned the bridge after crossing the river. Not only did he save Mi Zhu, but he also didn't let Sun Qian off.
At that time, Sun Qian wondered if the King Of Shu, Liu Mang, wanted to burn the bridge after crossing the river.
However, Sun Qian was very grateful right now. It was as if he was thanking Wei Yan's eight generations of ancestors. It was because of this that Sun Qian was able to see Liu Bei's expression again after so many years.
The first time Liu Bei and Sun Qian held hands and cried was when Zheng Xuan first introduced Sun Qian to Liu Bei. At that time, Liu Bei told Sun Qian about his great ambitions. At that time, one of them had talent but was not given the opportunity while the other wished to embrace all the talented people in the world. Naturally, the dry wood would be ignited by the raging fire.
It was normal for Sun Qian to stay in Liu Bei's mansion. Liu Bei even reserved a room for Sun Qian. The two of them were very close. However, ever since Pang Hei came, Sun Qian no longer received such treatment. His original room was also given to Pang Hei. Even Liu Bei was bewitched by Pang Hei and wanted to sacrifice himself. As the saying goes, the hatred of killing one's father and stealing one's wife was nothing more than this.
Therefore, Sun Qian and Pang Hei had nothing to talk about. If Pang Hei didn't die, then Sun Qian would die.
Now, Sun Qian was treated like a chief strategist. How could Sun Qian not be moved? Wei Yan wasn't here. If he was, Sun Qian wouldn't wait for Wei Yan to stab him in the chest a few more times. That way, he could gain the Lord's attention.
"Left General, Sir Sun Qian's wounds have just been bandaged. He's still very weak. He needs to rest....." The doctor advised Liu..
"Yes, yes." Liu Bei nodded. Sun Qian was stabbed in the chest. He bled a lot and needed to rest. "Gongyou, you rest first. I'll come to see you tomorrow." Liu Bei looked at Sun Qian affectionately.
"Lord!" Sun Qian was also reluctant to leave. He also complained to the doctor. Can't you see that the two of them are deeply in love? Sun Qian wanted to persuade Liu Bei to stay, but Liu Bei insisted that Sun Qian rest first.

"Lord!" Jian Yong stood aside. Even if there was no one around, Jian Yong didn't dare to call Liu Bei by his full name.
"Jian Yong, how was it? Were these men sent by the fake King Liu Mang?" Liu Bei walked into the hall and sat on the commander's seat. He asked Jian Yong.
"Lord!" Jian Yong heard Liu Bei's question and shook his head.
"Hm?" Seeing Jian Yong's expression, Liu Bei couldn't help but frown. "They weren't sent by the fake King Liu Mang? Then whose men are they? Traitor Cao? Or the guard dog Liu Jingsheng? " Liu Bei thought about it. If Mi Zhu was still useful, then the ones he wanted the most would be Yanzhou's Cao Cao and Jingzhou's Liu Jingsheng.
The reason why Cao Cao wanted someone like Mi Zhu was because he had just conquered Hebei. It can be said that there were a lot of nobles in Hebei that had their properties confiscated. Gold, silver, and jewels were piled up like a mountain. With so many spoils of war, it was natural for someone who knew how to do business to clean them up. On the other hand, Jingzhou wanted Mi Zhu because Jingzhou's business was flourishing. It can be said that Mi Zhu was an honored guest in Jingzhou. They wanted Mi Zhu to help them earn money and expand their wealth.
"Lord, it wasn't Traitor Cao or Liu Jingsheng!" Jian Yong smiled bitterly. It wasn't that he couldn't force a confession out of the mastermind. It was that he couldn't find the men in black.
"What?" Liu Bei's face was filled with anger. "You can't find them? What are you doing, Jian Yong? They must still be in the city. Could it be that they have three heads and six arms and flown away?! "
"If they aren't in the outer city, then search the inner city. Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, you must find this traitor Mi Zhu! Otherwise, how am I supposed to answer to Gongyou and the other soldiers? " Jian Yong had sent men to search for the men in black the moment they appeared. According to the guards in the inner city, they had seen someone leave the inner city with Mi Zhu's token. Although Liu Bei had imprisoned Mi Zhu, he hadn't announced it publicly. Thus, Mi Zhu's token was still very useful.
However, the entire outer city had been turned upside down. There was no trace of Mi Zhu.
"I've also searched the inner city?" Jian Yong continued to argue. Not to mention the inner city, the entire Wan City had been turned upside down by Jian Yong. He had even sent men to search the outer city for tens of li. However, not a single person was found. There were only two places in Wan City that Jian Yong hadn't searched. One was Liu Bei's residence, and the other was Sun Qian's residence.
"Trash, trash! What a waste of the thousands of gold I spend every year. Not to mention that someone has snuck into Wan City, my subordinates have been attacked and I still can't find the men in black. Jian Yong, tell me, what use do I have for this bunch of trash? I'll just disband them! " Liu Bei's anger surged. It had been several days, but they still couldn't find any clues. How could Liu Bei not be angry? If they still couldn't find the culprit, then Liu Bei's subordinates would be in a state of panic. It was one thing to die on the battlefield, but now even his subordinates had been assassinated. How could they continue to serve Liu Bei?
My Lord, please calm down! " Jian Yong hurriedly knelt in front of Liu Bei with his head lowered.
"Then what do you think we should do now?" Liu Bei's eyes were spitting fire. If he didn't give an explanation, how could he calm his subordinates?
"My Lord, don't you think that Sun Qian's injury is too much of a coincidence?" Jian Yong gritted his teeth and reported when he saw Liu Bei's anger.
"Coincidence?" Liu Bei was stunned.
"Yes, coincidence!" As soon as he arrived at Mi Zhu's residence, he saw Mi Zhu meeting with Liu Mang's envoy. When Mi Zhu went out, he was attacked and was stabbed in the chest. Although it looked scary, it was only a flesh wound. All these signs are too much of a coincidence. My Lord, don't you think it's strange? "
"Jian Yong, what are you trying to say?"
"Jian Yong would like to ask my Lord to investigate Sun Qian's residence and capture him for interrogation!" Jian Yong requested Liu Bei. Jian Yong was in charge of Liu Bei's intelligence. Although he didn't pay close attention to Sun Qian, he did have files that showed a strange face in Sun Qian's residence a few days ago. These coincidences made Jian Yong suspicious of Sun Qian.
Liu Bei was silent for a long time. Jian Yong thought that Liu Bei had agreed, but suddenly, "Haha, haha!" Liu Bei burst into laughter. When Liu Bei laughed, Jian Yong's heart sank.
As expected, Liu Bei looked at Jian Yong with sparkling eyes. "Jian Yong, Jian Xianhe, what are you trying to say? Are you trying to say that my subordinate, Sun Qian, is a traitor sent by the enemy? Are you trying to say that I, Liu Bei, am blind and can't tell the difference between a traitor and a traitor? "
"I wouldn't dare!" Jian Yong hurriedly said, "I just think that it's too much of a coincidence!"
"If Sun Qian wanted to betray me, he would have done so long ago. He had the chance in Xuzhou and Xudu, but did he do it? No! " Liu Bei looked at Jian Yong with sparkling eyes. This made Jian Yong feel as if a fishbone was stuck in his throat. When Sun Qian joined Liu Bei in Xuzhou, Liu Bei wasn't the Lü Bu yet. Later, Liu Bei's foundation in Xuzhou was seized by Lü Bu. At that time, under the guidance of Chen Gong, many of Liu Bei's former subordinates were poached by Chen Gong, such as Cao Bao. At that time, Liu Bei was only left with Xiao Pei and was in imminent danger. If it wasn't for Lü Bu keeping him to block Cao Bao, Cao Bao might have been destroyed. A fine bird chooses a fine tree. Everyone wouldn't stand under the wall. Only Sun Qian and the others resolutely stayed by Liu Bei's side and supported Liu Bei!
When Cao Cao was under Cao Cao, he had also recruited Sun Qian. One must know that although Sun Qian wasn't a top talent, he was still a rare talent. He was more than enough to govern a county. If he had such a talent, not only could it make things easier for Lao Cao, but it could also poach one of Liu Bei's lackeys and turn Liu Bei into a toothless tiger. Naturally, Cao Cao was very happy! Therefore, Cao Cao gave Sun Qian a big price to pay for poaching him. Naturally, Cao Cao wouldn't be able to run away from a noble title. He was also prepared to let Sun Qian govern Langye or Pengcheng after taking over Xuzhou. It could be said that Sun Qian could display his talent, but Sun Qian still refused.
"But Milord!" Jian Yong still wanted to argue. It was true that Sun Qian didn't abandon him in times of trouble, but people would change.
"No buts. If you, Jian Yong, Jian Xianhe, still think that Sun Qian is a traitor, then you, Jian Yong, can try being stabbed in the chest and not die. Then, I will believe you!" Liu Bei said sarcastically. If it was just before, then Liu Bei would still be suspicious like Jian Yong. However, with Sun Qian's attack, it could be said that all of Liu Bei's suspicions had been dispelled. Sun Qian's chest was pierced by a sword. If he wasn't lucky, then he might have died! Was this a coincidence? If this was deliberate, then Liu Bei really didn't know what to say. It was simply a betrayal with one's life!
"I understand, Milord!" Jian Yong sighed. Since Liu Bei had said so, Jian Yong would not dare to go against it. If Jian Yong had persisted, he could have searched Sun Qian's mansion. Unfortunately, Sun Qian's mansion had been searched.
… …
These few days, Sun Qian's days were really comfortable. Not only did all the immortals in Nanyang come and give him gifts worth more than a thousand gold, but there was also Liu Bei's concern for him. These few days, as long as Liu Bei went to the meeting hall, he would definitely go to Sun Qian's room to sit. He also gave Sun Qian a lot of deer antlers, snow lotuses and other nourishing things.
It could be said that Sun Qian was almost the focus of the entire Yuzhou.
"Master, the general of the Xiliang Cavalry has sent a tiger pelt over. It costs fifty gold! He wants to see Master. "A person who looked like a housekeeper reported to Sun Qian outside the door.
"Let him leave it there!" Sun Qian lazily said in the room. Now, Sun Qian was Liu Bei's favorite. Although the Xiliang Cavalry were Qiang people, they had stayed in the Han territory for a long time and knew how to flatter. Sun Qian was sick, so naturally, they would buy gifts to show filial piety.
"Hmph!" Sun Qian sneered in the room. A tiger pelt and fifty gold wanted to see Sun Qian. Now, Sun Qian was not interested in anything less than a hundred gold, let alone these Xiliang barbarians. When Pang Tong was still around, Sun Qian still remembered how these Xiliang barbarians flattered Pang Tong and treated him coldly. Now that Sun Qian had become rich, they wanted to get close to him. It would depend on whether Sun Qian would give them face.
"Dong dong!" Sun Qian's door was knocked again.
"Didn't I say I won't see you?" Sun Qian was a little angry. He was thinking about how to use the money. Should he use it to buy people's hearts or use it for other things? Sun Qian thought about it and decided to give it to Liu Bei. Now, there was not much money in Yuzhou and they urgently needed money. If there was no Ruyin, Sun Qian would definitely be Liu Bei's loyal henchman. However, Ruyin changed his mind.
"Boom!" The door was directly pushed open.
"How dare you! Who let you in!" Sun Qian felt someone coming in through the curtain on the bed and could not help but be angry. This was Sun Qian's master bedroom. Without the master's permission, who dared to enter without permission? This was simply impudent!
"Oh. Lord Sun Qian has such a big temper! You became like this after being injured for a while! " A mocking voice entered Sun Qian's ears. Sun Qian opened the curtain to see who was so impudent.
"It's you?"
