"How is my big brother now? Is he still drinking?" In a Sun residence on the other side of Jianye City, a young master calmly picked up a teacup and drank the tea inside.
"Yes! The eldest young master is still drinking! "The servant of Marquis Wu's residence responded to the young master.
Sun Quan liked this servant very much because this servant knew how to speak. When others called Sun Ce, they would either call him Lord or Family Head. Only this servant called him eldest young master. Sun Quan felt very comfortable when he called him eldest young master. This meant that Sun Ce was only his big brother. He and Sun Ce were brothers. If he called Sun Ce Family Head or Lord and Sun Quan Second Young Master, Sun Quan would feel very uncomfortable. This meant that Sun Ce was the master of Jiangdong and the head of the Sun family. Sun Quan was only Sun Ce's subordinate.
How could someone like Sun Quan be willing to accept this?
"It's just that the Governor is also here!" The servant explained to Sun Quan.
"The Governor? What is he doing here? " Sun Quan frowned. Zhou Yu really made Sun Quan afraid. Sun Quan could ignore his big brother, Sun Ce, but he had to be vigilant against Zhou Yu, the Governor.
"He is drinking with the eldest young master!" The servant said to Sun Quan.
"Just drinking?" Sun Quan asked again.
"This little one doesn't know!" The servant shook his head. He was only a servant and could only take a few glances when the wine was served. How could he know what Governor Zhou Yu wanted to do?
"Forget it. You can go!" Sun Quan waved his hand. "Go to the treasury and say that I told you to take ten gold as a reward. “
Thank you, Second Young Master. Thank you, Second Young Master! “
Sun Quan watched as the servant left after thanking him profusely. "Big brother, big brother, it's not that I want to snatch your position, but you are really not suitable for this position!"
"Where is the envoy of Xu Du? I want to see him! "Sun Quan said to his confidant.
"He's waiting for Patriarch in the west wing."
"Remember, you must not reveal anything about my meeting with Xu Du's envoy."
"Yes!"
…
In Yangzhou, Liu Mang finally felt comfortable these days. One of the two tigresses had her period, and the other seemed to want to let go of Liu Mang. Therefore, Liu Mang became energetic these days. He seemed to have a response to the charm of the beautiful woman at home, Mrs. Zou.
Lü Bu also came to Shouchun twice and brought Madam Yan and Madam Ren to visit his daughter. He might have taught the little tigress something. Anyway, Miss Lü blushed when she saw Liu Mang.
"Has the money from Liu Biao arrived yet?" Liu Mang asked Mi Zhu who was sitting next to him.
Although Liu Mang didn't attack Jingzhou, it didn't mean that he couldn't get money from Jingzhou.
The entire army of Yangzhou was closing in on Jingzhou. It seemed like they would attack Jingzhou at any time. This scared Jingzhou so much that they couldn't eat or sleep well.
In fact, everyone in Jingzhou knew that Liu Mang wouldn't attack because Liu Mang didn't want to fight to the death. However, it was hard to say. After all, Liu Mang's cheap father-in-law was unreliable. Lü Bu was famous for his bad temper. If someone made him unhappy, Lü Bu would immediately retaliate.
Cao Cao made Lü Bu unhappy. Lü Bu almost made Lao Cao lose his wealth. Liu Bei made Lü Bu unhappy. Now, he was struggling at death's door in Runan. When Jiangdong's Sun Ce made Lü Bu unhappy, Lü Bu immediately sent troops to occupy Lujiang.
If Lü Bu's temper flared up, who would be able to withstand it? Therefore, Jingzhou was still in a state of panic.
"The emissary has been sent. Milord can rest assured. I'm afraid that the money will be transported on the Yangtze River." Fortunately, the emissary sent by Yangzhou made Liu Biao feel relieved.
"Audacious! You still haven't kneeled down in my Jingzhou!" The emissary sent by Liu Mang was none other than Liu Mang's most proficient diplomat, Yang Hong. Yang Hong was sent not only because of Yang Hong's diplomatic ability, but also because of Yangzhou's relationship with Kuai Liang. Yang Hong also had a relationship with most of the nobles in Jingzhou.
This was because Yang Hong used to be Yuan Shu's confidant. Yuan Shu's Yuan family had four generations of three dukes. It can be said that although Yuan Shu was dead, most of the nobles in the world originated from the Yuan family. Therefore, Yang Hong's arrival in Jingzhou was welcomed by many nobles. This was because Yang Hong used to be the head of the nobles. There were many people in Jingzhou who attended the Yuan family's classes. Therefore, they were familiar with Yang Hong.
"Who are you?" Yang Hong smiled and asked a handsome man standing beside him.
"This General is Liu Pan. I'm Jingzhou's Military Advisor!" Liu Pan stared at Yang Hong.
"Oh, so it's the Jingzhou Army's Military Advisor General. Yang Hong greets you. I didn't think that Jingzhou wasn't ruled by Lord Liu Biao, but by this Military Advisor General. Yang Hong's eyes are blind. I kowtow in salute to Liu Pan." Yang Hong said as he was about to kneel.
However, those who wanted Yang Hong to kneel quickly stopped him. If Yang Hong knelt, then what would happen to Liu Biao? What would people think in the future? Liu Pan was already in charge of Jingzhou's court. Even if Liu Pan was Liu Biao's second son, Liu Biao would still be dissatisfied.
"What's wrong, General?" Yang Hong pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Could it be that the General is not in charge of Jingzhou?"
"No, no. My father is in charge of Jingzhou. Therefore, if you kneel, you should kneel to my father!" Liu Pan said with a red face.
"Oh, so Lord Liu Biao is still Lord Liu Biao. I thought Lord Liu Biao had abdicated his position!" Yang Hong suddenly realized and said. This made Liu Pan's face turn red again.
"Although he isn't now, someone still wants to be!" Huang She's strange tone came again.
"Huang She, you!" Liu Pan angrily said to Huang She.
"Enough!" Liu Biao frowned. His body was already very weak. Just frowning like this required a lot of strength. He didn't expect that this subordinate wouldn't let him feel at ease. Wouldn't it be a joke for one of his own to tear down the table in the hall?
"I wonder why Mister Yang Hong has come to Jingzhou?" Liu Biao asked Yang Hong, interrupting Yang Hong's mood to watch the show.
"Not for anything else, but for the wealth my Lord left in Jingzhou!" Yang Hong couldn't watch the show anymore. Naturally, he stepped forward and cupped his fist to Liu Biao.
"The wealth your Lord left in Jingzhou?" Liu Biao frowned. "As far as I know, His Highness the King Of Shu didn't leave anything behind!"
"My Lord left in a hurry, so he left behind all his wealth! For example, the seven top and seven bottom mansion, the gold, silver, jewels, jade, and antiques in the mansion were all left behind by my Lord. Also, the thousand mile horse! "Yang Hong seemed to have seen it before, and spoke in detail about it.
"How shameless. The seven top and seven exit mansion was given by my father to Liu Mang to stay in temporarily. The gold, silver, and jewelry in the mansion all belong to my father, not to mention the jade and antiques. Where is the thousand mile horse? Even if there is, it belongs to Jingzhou. When Liu Mang came, he only had two or three servants and was empty-handed. "Liu Pan coldly said to Yang Hong.
"No, no. The seven top and seven exit mansion was given to my Lord by the Governor of Jingzhou. It's already considered my Lord's wealth. The gold, silver, and jewelry in the mansion were given to my Lord by the civil and military officials of Jingzhou! There are even some that are betrothal gifts given to my Princess by the Si Family. How could my Lord, as a member of her family, not bring them back? As for the thousand mile horse, is it dead? Or was it secretly taken by the generals? It doesn't matter if they took it. Generals just like war horses and weapons. It's fine to tell them! "Yang Hong continued.
"Who took your Thousand Miles Steed! Don't slander us! "One of the generals couldn't help but stand up.
"Then you didn't take it and it's still in the mansion!" Yang Hong and the general's answer immediately made it sound like there really was a thousand mile horse in the mansion.
"That mansion was indeed given to Liu Mang by me. Since he wants it, I'll give it to him. If you can't take the mansion away, you can exchange it for gold!" Liu Biao waved his hand. Although the mansion was in a prime location in Xiangyang, it was only worth a thousand gold at most. It was fine to give it to Liu Mang.
"Thank you, Lord Liu Biao. Let's sell the mansion according to the market price. In Xiangyang, every inch of land is worth an inch of gold. The seven top and seven exit mansion is worth a thousand and five hundred gold. How about that?" Yang Hong said with a smile.
"Sure!" Liu Biao nodded. A thousand and five hundred gold was already considered cheap.
"The gold, silver, jewelry, jade, and antiques in the mansion should also be exchanged for gold! Otherwise, it will be difficult to transport them during the journey! "
"Sure!"
"There aren't many pieces of Golden Jade, only two piles. According to my master, they should be worth 33,000 gold. Erasing the leader, they should be worth 33,000 gold!" Yang Hong said calmly as he looked at the people from Jing Zhou.
"Thirty-three thousand gold?" Everyone in Jingzhou sucked in a breath of cold air. "What kind of gold, silver, and jewelry are you talking about? It's worth thirty-three thousand gold. If you really take out this thirty-three thousand gold, it'll be enough to paint your seven entry and seven exit mansion!"
"Nonsense!" Liu Pan who was standing at the side was furious and was about to scold Yang Hong.
However, Yang Hong ignored Liu Pan and continued, "Although there aren't many jade and antiques, they were all left behind by Emperor Wu of Han. If you exchange it for gold, it should be fifty-five thousand gold!"
Great! Just thirty-three thousand gold, and now there's another fifty-five thousand jin.
"That thousand mile horse isn't much. If it's not much, I'll just sell it for twenty-five thousand gold!" Yang Hong calculated and sold it for ninety thousand gold.
What kind of concept was this? Even the Cai family alone wouldn't be able to fork out so much money. If they sold the Cai family, they would only get about two hundred thousand gold. This was equivalent to half of the Cai family.
"Haha, that little brat Liu Mang of yours, if you don't say it, then the entire Jingzhou belongs to him!" Liu Pan was so angry that he laughed and mocked Yang Hong. Ninety thousand gold was only ten thousand more than the money Liu Biao gave him for the expansion of the army.
"This world belongs to the king. My lord's surname is Liu! This world is also surnamed Liu! This Jingzhou is no exception. " Yang Hong said. This world still belonged to the Great Han Dynasty. The Great Han Dynasty's lord was a member of the Liu family, so Yang Hong could say that.
"My lord also said that if everyone parted on good terms, it would be fine if you could give my lord the things he left behind. If you don't give it to him and snatch it, then my lord doesn't need to care about your feelings. My lord still remembers Jing Province's hospitality clearly, so he might as well let his subordinates enjoy it together! This fire can only burn the mountains, but it can't burn down Xiangyang City! If Xiangyang City catches fire, then everyone's money will be burned down! "
Alright, this was a naked threat. If you give me the money, then nothing will happen. If you don't, then I'll come and take it myself.
"Men, drag this madman out and behead him. If Liu Mang comes, then so be it. Let's see if everyone in Jingzhou is afraid of him!" Liu Pan shouted angrily. However, the officials of Jingzhou all lowered their heads and pondered.
Liu Pan's guards were about to drag Yang Hong away when they heard a deep voice. "Wait!"
"Father?" Liu Pan naturally heard Liu Biao's voice. "Father, if we don't kill this madman, then we won't vent our anger. Father, please hand him over to me. I will kill him and use him as a sacrifice to attack that little brat Liu Mang!"
"Lock Yang Hong in the prison first. Remember, don't act rashly without my orders!"
