Sun Zhanghu looked at the familiar person in front of him and knew that he couldn't keep up with his arrogance. This honest person was the King Of Shu's Minister of Personnel, Lu Su, Lu Zijing. Lu Su and Zhou Yu were good friends. He used to be a military advisor under Sun Ce. Naturally, he had seen Sun Zhanghu's second daughter. Moreover, Lu Su used to have frequent contact with Sun Quan. Although Sun Quan's second son was a bit fickle, he still greeted his sister with a smile and loved her very much.
Therefore, Sun Zhanghu's second daughter often went to Sun Quan's mansion and knew about Lu Su.
When the two met, there was nothing that could be hidden.
"You are Sun Shangxiang?" Liu Mang looked at Sun Zhanghu and couldn't help but look curious.
"En?" As soon as Liu Mang opened his mouth, all the Yangzhou civil and military officials turned to look at Liu Mang. Their eyes were filled with smiles.
"How do you know my name?" Sun Shangxiang also looked at the King Of Shu, Liu Mang, who was sitting on the main seat.
When Liu Mang opened his mouth, he knew that he had made a mistake. In ancient times, women didn't have names. For example, Xiao Qiao, Diao Chan, Cai Wenji, they were all called by their nicknames. If a woman had a name, it would be her name. Only family members and close relatives would know her name. However, Liu Mang suddenly said Sun Zhanghu's second daughter's name. This King Of Shu Liu Mang wasn't a close relative of Sun Zhanghu's second daughter. This could only mean one thing. That was, their Lord already had thoughts about Sun Zhanghu's second daughter. He even inquired about her name.
"No, no, no, I didn't send anyone to inquire!" Liu Mang quickly explained. However, the more he explained, the more he made things worse. In the end, even Liu Mang started to doubt himself.
"Someone told this prince that there is a talented woman in Jiangdong who is beautiful and virtuous. Although she is a woman, her ambition surpasses that of a man." Liu Mang could no longer wash away this accusation. You praised her the moment you came up. Only a fool would believe that you didn't have feelings for her.
"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty!" Sun Shangxiang herself blushed a little. She knew that she could no longer hide her identity. Naturally, there was no need to cover it up. She took off the bun on her head and let her hair fall down. Her long hair, heroic face, and good figure were really a gift from the heavens.
"Second Miss, what do you think? Marry our lord. This way, our Yangzhou and Jiangdong can have a good relationship!" Zhuge Liang touched a sore spot and began to help Liu Mang urge the marriage.
"Marry His Highness the King Of Shu? Was she going to be the main wife or the co-wife? Does His Majesty want to divorce Madam Lu or Madam Yuan? "Sun Second Young Miss mocked Liu Mang.
Divorce Madam Lu and Yuan Fang? How is this possible? It seems that Sun Second Young Miss is a strong woman who hates men having multiple wives and concubines.
"Naturally, Madam Lu and Madam Yuan are still Madam Yuan. Although Second Miss cannot be given the title of Madam, you still have the position of Madam!" Zhuge Liang said. Liu Mang was a warlord and also a King of Han. According to the Zhou Dynasty, the King had 120 concubines: one queen, three madams, nine concubines, twenty-seven noblewomen, and eighty-one female concubines.
Naturally, Madam Lu was Madam Lu. This was impossible to change. After that, there were three madams, nine concubines, and noblewomen.
Yuan Fang was one of the three madams. Qiao Yu was also one. Although Qiao Yu was a barbarian princess, she was only a concubine.
"This subject thanks His Majesty for Minister Zhuge's kindness. However, this subject is homesick and has been in Yangzhou for a long time. It is time for this subject to leave. I ask His Majesty to allow this subject to leave." Sun Shangxiang used his heart to tell Yangzhou's civil and military officials that the other party was not willing.
"Permitted!" Liu Mang was about to open his mouth to let Sun Shangxiang leave. Liu Mang's face also had a sullen expression. He, Liu Mang, did not have to marry Sun Shangxiang. Why was she being so arrogant and refusing again and again?
"Thank His Majesty. This subject will finish all the matters of the female battalion and choose a day to leave." Sun Shangxiang also did not expect Liu Mang to be so straightforward.
"Hm?" Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Mang and knew that Liu Mang was angry. Zhuge Liang also did not ask Sun Shangxiang to stay. Sun Shangxiang said goodbye and left.
"Yuan Zhi, pass on my order. Let Lu Xun's Jiangxia Navy be on standby. Send another letter to Guangling. Let Chen Deng inform Gan Ning and let him set out. Put aside the deal with Liaodong for the time being. Jiangxia Navy will go down from the west. Gan Ning's navy will go upstream from the estuary. Wait for my order. Advance from both sides and attack from both sides. " Liu Mang was a little angry. It was just a trivial Jiangdong. So what if there was no righteousness and no status. He, Liu Mang, had money and troops. If Sun Ce was tactful and surrendered, then it was fine. If not, then he would push him aside.
"Milord, no!" When Lu Su heard this, he wanted to persuade Liu Mang. Lu Su knew what kind of person Sun Ce was. He was a person who cared a lot about his face. Moreover, he was arrogant. To deal with this kind of person, you can only use soft methods and not hard methods. If you use hard methods, then you can only wait for Sun Ce to fight to the death with you.
However, before Lu Su could open his mouth, he was stopped by Zhuge Liang. Now Liu Mang was ashamed and angry. He would not listen to anyone.
"Meeting adjourned!" Liu Mang waved his sleeves and left the meeting.
… …
In the female nursing camp, Sun Zhanghu, no, it should be Miss Sun. Miss Sun walked into the female nursing camp. Because the female nursing camp was made up of women, they set up a separate camp. There were people patrolling 24 hours a day. This was because they were afraid that the male soldiers had bad intentions. These soldiers were all strong young men. It was normal for them to think about women.
Miss Sun entered her tent and looked at the surrounding scene. Her heart was very complicated.
"Madam Zhanghu, Madam Zhanghu, the short swords you asked for have been sent from the Ministry of Works." A female officer entered Miss Sun's tent and reported to her. Although the nurses were medical personnel, it was inevitable that there would be casualties in the battlefield. Some soldiers might be impulsive and bring harm to the nurses. Therefore, Miss Sun made a report and asked the higher-ups to equip the female troops with weapons. Although they were not as long as the men's long swords, they still needed to have short swords to protect themselves. Such short swords could not be too short or too long, which would affect the rescue. Therefore, every time the Ministry of Works would send a weapon to Sun Shangxiang to let her understand its function and let her experience it before giving her suggestions. This time, the Ministry of Works sent another weapon.
"Let's put it aside first!" Sun Shangxiang chuckled at the female official under her.
"Put it aside?"
"Madam Zhanghu, the white gauze in the camp is almost gone. There is not much charcoal left in the camp." Another female officer came in. The white gauze was used to bandage wounds and the charcoal was used to boil hot water to disinfect the white gauze.
"Hong Xiang, don't worry about it. Put it down!" Sun Shangxiang said to the female officer. This female officer was not someone else. She was one of Sun Shangxiang's two maidservants. She came to Yangzhou with Sun Shangxiang. This pair of master and maidservants were very good. After coming to Yangzhou, they did not rely on anyone to become the female battalion commander. In Yangzhou, the position of female battalion commander was comparable to that of a general.
"Ah ah ah?" Hong Xiang did not understand what was going on. She thought that she had angered Miss Sun. "Madam Zhanghu, these are urgently needed in the army. How can we put them down?"
"Put them down. There is no need to talk so much!" Sun Shangxiang was angry and her tone was a little impolite.
"Yes!"
"Quickly go to the camp and pack your luggage." Sun Shangxiang's tone became gentle again.
"Eldest Miss, this, this?"
"We have to go back to Jiangdong." Sun Shangxiang said to her maidservant.
"Go back to Jiangdong? What about the female battalion? "
"Yes, go back. We have been out for a long time. Brother and the others should be worried. We will go back to Jiangdong. The King Of Shu will find someone else to take charge of the female battalion. All of this has nothing to do with us. I have already resigned in the main hall. The King Of Shu, Liu Mang, also agreed. You go and pack up quickly. We can still set off early in the morning. "Sun Shangxiang ordered her maidservant.
"By the way, where is Shang Yun?" Sun Shangxiang asked doubtfully.
"Miss, Shang Yun should be with General Lu in Jiang Xia." Hong Xiang said to her young miss. There was a trace of envy in her tone.
"With Lu Xun?" Sun Shangxiang frowned. Everyone can see that there is something wrong with Shang Yun's attitude towards Lu Xun. Lu Xun often comes to the women's barracks to look for Shang Yun. This time, when they were sent to Jiangxia, Shang Yun once again volunteered to go.
"Ah!" Sun Shangxiang shook her head. "Let's pack up and leave."
"Miss, are we not waiting for Shang Yun?" Hong Xiang asked doubtfully. When they came, the three of them were together. When they left, it became two people.
"No, let him stay. Give him a letter. If he wants to go back, he can go to Jiangdong to find us. If he does not want to go back, he can stay in Yangzhou." Sun Shangxiang said to Hong Xiang. It was not bad to leave Shang Yun in Yangzhou. Lu Xun was favored by the King Of Shu, Liu Mang. In the future, he would be conferred the title of Marquis. This was also a good home.
Sun Shangxiang went to pack up her things. But she saw Hong Xiang was still in the same place. It seemed that she was hesitating.
"What's wrong? Hong Xiang? Why are you not packing? It's getting late. We have to hurry! "
"That, that …" Hong Xiang stammered and did not dare to look at Sun Shangxiang.
"Tell me, what's wrong?" Sun Shangxiang asked doubtfully. "Although you and I are master and servant, we are actually sisters. If you have something to say, just say it." Sun Shangxiang said to her maid.
"Miss, I, I, I don't want to go back to Jiangdong. I also want to stay in Yangzhou." Hong Xiang held her breath and finished the sentence.
Sun Shangxiang was stunned and did not respond for a long time. Hong Xiang looked at her Miss nervously. If Miss did not let her stay in Yangzhou, she could not stay.
In Yangzhou, Hong Xiang could decide her own life. In Yangzhou, Hong Xiang could feel the respect and welcome of everyone. But back in Jiangdong, she was just a maidservant. She was like a commodity. It was better to have Sun Shangxiang. But if one day the young lady got married, if she was lucky, she could become a dowry maid with the young lady. If she was unlucky, she would become a commodity and be sold. So Hong Xiang wanted to stay in Yangzhou.
Seeing that her Miss did not respond, Hong Xiang directly knelt down in front of Sun Shangxiang. "Miss, I already have a sweetheart in Yangzhou. I also promised to be his wife and have children for him." Hong Xiang's face turned red. "I beg Miss to help me!" Hong Xiang kowtowed to Sun Shangxiang.
"Sweetheart?" Sun Shangxiang looked at Hong Xiang and asked, "Who is it?"
"It's, it's, it's that General Xu Sheng." Hong Xiang blushed and said to Sun Shangxiang.
"Xu Sheng? The commander of the Black Flag Army? " Sun Shangxiang in the Yangzhou army naturally dealt with these generals. She looked at Hong Xiang. Last time, Hong Xiang was in charge of the Black Flag Army.
"That's good, that's good!" Sun Shangxiang sighed. "You also stay here." If she returned to Jiangdong, she could only be a maid. If she stayed in Yangzhou, she could be the wife of a general. Seeing that Hong Xiang had a good home, Sun Shangxiang was also very happy.
"Miss, I will help you pack your luggage."
"Okay!" Sun Shangxiang nodded her head. "Hong Xiang, Miss, I am leaving. You must take good care of yourselves. If someone bullies you, go find the Minister of Personnel, Lu Su, Lu Zijing. He and my second brother are old friends. He should be able to help you." Sun Shangxiang was about to leave, but she was still thinking about her sisters.
"Miss, I will. Miss, I am reluctant to part with you. You can't not leave! Stay in Yangzhou. " Hong Xiang burst into tears when she heard Sun Shangxiang's words. She threw herself into Sun Shangxiang's embrace and sobbed. "His Highness the King Of Shu is very good. Miss, don't you like martial arts? His Highness the King Of Shu made you the commander of the female battalion. Miss, you can stay here and be your female general."
"Silly girl, don't cry. It's not like we won't meet again. If you miss me, you can go to Jiangdong. You can also write a letter to me. Don't cry. If you cry again, you won't look good. General Xu Sheng also won't want you! Then you can only go to Jiangdong with me! "Sun Shangxiang also smiled and hugged her maid's head. She gently stroked her maid's head and comforted her.
"Pu!" When Hong Xiang heard her Miss's words, she could not help but laugh. "Miss, you only know how to laugh at me. Miss, you really can't stay!"
"En! I still have to go. After all, this is not my home. " Sun Shangxiang shook her head. In the past, she was used to being wild. She was different from other girls. Other girls liked needlework, but she liked martial arts. Playing with swords gave Sun Ce a headache. In the end, Sun Ce could only confine Sun Shangxiang. The more Sun Ce did not let Sun Shangxiang go out, the more Sun Shangxiang wanted to leave Jiangdong. In the end, she escaped when she heard that Sun Ce was going to set up a female battalion in Yangzhou.
However, after a long time, Sun Shangxiang really missed home. She missed her two brothers and her mother.
"If Miss Sun is willing, this place can also be Miss Sun's home!" Just when Sun Shangxiang and her maid were reminiscing about the past, an external voice interrupted.
Sun Shangxiang looked up and saw the person. "It's you!" Sun Shangxiang did not like the person who came.
"Hong Xiang greets Minister Zhuge." Hong Xiang bowed to the person who came. The person who came was the Minister of Justice, Zhuge Kongming.
Zhuge Kongming nodded. "Maid Hong, please go out first. I have something to say to your Miss."
"Yes!" "Hong Xiang left immediately."
"What is there that can't be said face to face?" Sun Shangxiang hated Zhuge Kongming because this person exposed her identity and wanted her to marry the King Of Shu, Liu Mang.
"There is nothing to say. I just want to persuade Second Miss Sun not to leave Yangzhou. Once you leave Yangzhou, you will have to bear the consequences." Zhuge Kongming said to Sun Shangxiang.
"What? Does Minister Zhuge want to stop this little girl? Or does Yangzhou's King Of Shu want to make things difficult for this little girl? "Sun Shangxiang sneered at Zhuge Kongming.
"Haha, our Lord has absolutely no intention of stopping Second Miss Sun. If Second Miss Sun wants to leave, you can leave at any time!" Zhuge Kongming waved his hand.
"Hmph! That's the best. "Sun Shangxiang randomly took some things." Hong Xiang, prepare a horse for me. I am leaving. "
"Miss, you only brought so many things?" Hong Xiang heard Sun Shangxiang's words and walked in. She saw Sun Shangxiang casually took some money and was about to leave. There were still many things that had not been packed.
"No need. If there is something in Yangzhou, there will also be something in Jiangdong." Sun Shangxiang did not want to see Zhuge Kongming because no one would be happy to be schemed against.
"Let's go. Let's go. It's good that we left. When we return, we will see one dead and the other injured. Sigh. It's so miserable. This family is finished." Zhuge Liang's voice came from far behind.
Sun Shangxiang stopped and turned to Zhuge Kongming. "Minister Zhuge, I respect you but do not insult people. If you curse my family again, don't blame me for being impolite."
"Curse? Haha, I, Zhuge Kongming, am just a mere mortal. I do not know these immortal methods. I am just telling the truth. "
"What do you mean?" Sun Shangxiang was angry. She directly pulled out her long sword. "If you do not give me an explanation today, I, Sun Shangxiang, will kill you even if I have to sacrifice my life!"
"I just want to tell Miss Sun that the brothers in Jiangdong are estranged and killing each other. If Miss Sun goes back, you will see a scene where one brother is dead and the other is alive." Zhuge Kongming gestured.
"You are lying!"
"What is there to lie about? Since ancient times, the Emperor's family has no familial love. Although Marquis Wu of Jiangdong is not an Emperor, he is still a Marquis." Zhuge Kongming waved his feather fan and said.
"Impossible. My second brother, how could my second brother be like this? Impossible. My second brother is not like this!" Sun Shangxiang shook her head.
"Haha!" Zhuge Kongming did not say which one but Sun Shangxiang began to shake her head. This meant that he had already taken her words to heart.
"That's impossible! Lai Zijing, tell our Miss Sun whether or not I'm lying! " It turned out that Zhuge Kongming had also pulled the honest Lu Su and Lu Zijing over. Lu Su also smiled bitterly and shook his head. He was completely used as a coolie. This Zhuge Kongming was really too much. He let Zhuge Kongming be the good guy and let him be the bad guy.
Lu Su glared at Zhuge Kongming and cupped his fist at Sun Shangxiang. "Miss Sun, what Kongming said is the truth. Zhongmou, no, Second Young Master did indeed rebel against Marquis Wu. He sent Xu Gong to assassinate Marquis Wu. "
Lu Su's words were useful to Sun Shangxiang because Lu Su's best friend was Sun Quan.
"How is my eldest brother?" Sun Shangxiang was a little flustered.
"Rest assured, Miss Sun. Marquis Wu is fine. Gong Jin helped Marquis Wu to take an arrow. He is now seriously injured and unconscious." Lu Su explained to Miss Sun. "Second Young Master is also imprisoned by Marquis Wu." There were three intelligence agencies in Yangzhou. It could be said that there was no one in the world that could compare to Shangzhou.
"You are lying! You are all lying! You are all in cahoots! I know! I know! You are all in cahoots!" Sun Shangxiang's current state.
"Lie to you? Haha, what good is there in lying to you? Brother Zijing and I are both ministers. Why would we need to lie to a little girl like you? What a joke. You should leave quickly. Otherwise, I will be irritated. "Zhuge Kongming's face changed and became disgusted.
"I, I!" Sun Shangxiang wanted to leave but she was afraid that Zhuge Kongming's words were true. She could not move her feet.
"Zijing, calculate how long your good friend can live!" Zhuge Kongming made fun of Lu Su again. Lu Su and Sun Quan had already cut off their relationship. How could he have a good friend?
"If Gong Jin is alive, Second Young Master still has a chance to live. If Gong Jin is dead, then Second Young Master will definitely die." Lu Su and Lu Zijing said.
"No, no!"
"Let's go. Zijing, let's go back!" Zhuge Kongming said and was about to leave with Lu Su.
"You are not allowed to leave!" Sun Shangxiang directly placed her sword in front of Zhuge Kongming, Lu Su and Lu Zijing.
"Second Young Master, I, Lu Su and Kongming did not offend you. The road is over there. If you want to go, please go!" Lu Su also felt uncomfortable facing Sun Shangxiang.
"Save my second brother. Save Jiangdong!" Sun Shangxiang clenched her teeth and suddenly knelt down in front of Zhuge Kongming and Lu Su.
"Second Young Master, why are you doing this? Save your eldest brother and second brother? We are Yangzhou's army. How can we save Jiangdong? "Zhuge Kongming pretended to be surprised.
"I know you can do it!" Sun Shangxiang said firmly. She only knew one thing. If Zhuge Kongming and Lu Su did not have a way, then Zhuge Kongming would not tell her.
"Alright. Since Second Young Master said so, then I, Zhuge Kongming, will not keep you in suspense. I have a way. It is up to Second Young Master if you are willing to do it." Zhuge Kongming smiled. He knew that Sun Shangxiang had taken the bait.
"As long as Shangxiang can do it, I am willing to die!"
"There is no need for Second Young Master to die. On the contrary, it is a good thing. Once it is done, the Sun family will also rise!" Zhuge Kongming said to Sun Shangxiang patiently. Lu Su looked at Zhuge Kongming and rolled his eyes. If he did not know who Zhuge Kongming was, he would have thought that this person was a human trafficker.
