"Zi, come, come, let me propose another toast to you!" Wu Hou's residence was filled with people toasting and dancing.
The atmosphere was very harmonious. Sun Ce was very hospitable. He toasted Lu Su one cup after another, which made Lu Su feel unbearable.
"Wu Hou, no, no, I can't drink anymore." Lu Su shook his head and said to Sun Ce.
"What's wrong? Could it be that Zi Jing is looking down on me, Sun Ce? Is it because I, Sun Ce, lost to Yangzhou, so you look down on me, Sun Ce? "Sun Ce seemed to be telling the truth after drinking.
Lu Su, Lu Zijing, was now the Minister of Yangzhou. This was second only to Xu Shu, the Minister of Internal Affairs. If Jiangdong was in the past, it would be fine. But now, Jiangdong had lost and had to surrender to Yangzhou. If Jiangdong went to Yangzhou, he would only be a general. Lu Su, on the other hand, was a Minister. If they provoked Lu Su, they would be courting death.
"En?" Seeing that Sun Ce was about to tell the truth after drinking, Lu Su could not help but be cautious. No matter what, Lu Su was now a minister of Yangzhou. Naturally, he would not be partial to Sun Ce. He was also more cautious of Sun Ce than before. After all, Lu Su had offended his good friend, Zhuge Liang.
"Don't stop me. What's there to stop? I want to say it, I want to say it!" Sun Ce shouted.
"My lord, you are drunk!" Lu Meng was Sun Ce's personal guard. He wanted to carry Sun Ce back and let Sun Ce rest in the inner room. However, Sun Ce did not comply.
"I am drunk? Haha, I am not drunk. I am not drunk. I will not fall even after a thousand cups. I will tell you, Lu Meng, don't stop me. "Sun Ce shouted at Lu Meng.
"Men, come and carry the Lord to the bedroom." Lu Meng called out to the people around him to help.
"Yes!" A few servants came forward to carry Sun Ce back. Lu Su also shook his head. If he was carried back, he would think that Sun Ce would tell the truth after drinking. Lu Su felt a little regretful.
"Let's see who dares!" Just when Lu Su was regretting that he might not be able to hear Sun Ce tell the truth after drinking, Sun Ce actually pulled out the long sword from the side.
This time, it seems like the situation is getting out of hand. One must know that our Lord Sun Ce is a peak refinement martial artist. This long sword in his hand can be used as a killing weapon. .... Lu Meng saw his lord...
"Shua!" A cold light flashed and blood suddenly appeared on Lu Meng's arm. His arm was pierced by the long sword. Blood immediately flew out like an arrow.
"Ahhh!" Lu Meng let out a blood-curdling scream as he dodged. If he hadn't dodged just now, his head would have been directly hit.
"General Lu Meng, General Lu Meng, are you alright? A group of people rushed towards Lu Meng in a panic." A palm-sized wound on Lu Meng's arm was torn open. Blood flowed out from the wound.
"Come, bandage General Lu Meng!" The servants rushed forward to bandage Lu Meng's wound.
"Don't worry about me. Be careful of my lord!" Lu Meng shouted loudly. He was afraid that Sun Ce would injure himself by playing with the sword. After all, the sword does not have eyes.
"Yes!" Several soldiers rushed forward to snatch the long sword from Sun Ce's hand. But they did not expect that Sun Ce would go crazy. "Let's see who dares to snatch my sword!" Sun Ce suddenly stabbed the long sword.
"Puff!" A cold light flashed once again. This time, Sun Ce's soldier was not as skilled as Lu Meng. Sun Ce's soldier's chest was pierced by Lu Meng's sword. His armor was not able to withstand the attack and was pierced through in an instant. Sun Ce's soldier's chest was pierced through.
"Lord, Lord!" The soldier couldn't believe his eyes. He was Sun Ce's subordinate. If he died on the battlefield, it would be fine. But who would have thought that he would die in the hands of his lord.
No one saw a trace of reluctance in Sun Ce's eyes. But it was quickly covered up.
"Lord is crazy, Lord is crazy!" Lu Meng looked at his lord and said in a worried voice.
"What should we do?" Lu Meng was very anxious. He wanted to attack but didn't dare because Sun Ce had a sword in his hand. If he was not careful and got killed by Sun Ce, how could he complain? But if he didn't attack, Sun Ce might get hurt by the sword. So Lu Meng was now in a dilemma.
"Quick, go to Gong Jin!" Lu Su on the side gave advice to Lu Meng. He didn't think that Marquis Sun Ce's alcohol tolerance would be so bad. If he didn't drink, he would use his sword.
"Yes, go to the Governor." Lu Meng's eyes also lit up, but then it dimmed down, "No, if I leave, what if the Lord does something again? What should I do?" Lu Meng was worried about his lord Sun Ce. If he left and something happened to Sun Ce, it would be over.
"General Lu Meng, quickly go and call Gong Jin over. I will help you stabilize the situation!" Lu Su said to Lu Meng. Lu Su didn't want to get involved in this mess, but he had to come. If Sun Ce didn't think it through and something happened to him, then Jiangdong wouldn't be able to return to Yangzhou. The soldiers on the Yangtze River would certainly put the people of Jiangdong in a terrible situation. So Lu Su was prepared to go and stabilize Marquis Sun Ce.
"Ah, Mister, if that's the case, what about your safety?" Lu Meng was surprised. Sun Ce was crazy now. He didn't even care about emotions. He even injured Lu Meng, his trusted aide, let alone Lu Su.
"Then there is no other way! Just go and save me as soon as possible. "Lu Su's use of the word 'save' showed just how urgent the situation was.
"Alright, then Mister, take care of yourself." Lu Meng gritted his teeth and said to Lu Su. He immediately walked out of the door. "Men, prepare the horse!" Zhou Yu's residence wasn't here.
Seeing Lu Meng leave, Lu Su smiled bitterly. How were they going to deal with Sun Ce now?
"Come, come, Lu Su, Lu Zijing, drink with me! Men, pour me some wine! " Sun Ce shouted loudly. The servants didn't dare to pour wine for Sun Ce. They were afraid that Sun Ce would kill them.
"Did you hear that? Men, pour me some wine!" After saying that, Sun Ce waved his sword around. Another unlucky soldier was killed by Sun Ce's sword.
The servants at the side looked at Lu Su with trepidation. Now, Lu Su was the backbone of the household.
"Pour wine for Lord Sun Ce!" Lu Su had no choice. If he didn't pour wine for Lord Sun Ce, he would kill someone again.
Hearing Lu Su's words, the servants could only slowly approach Sun Ce in fear. They were always on guard, afraid that Sun Ce would behead them with his blade.
Fortunately, Sun Ce only wanted to drink wine and didn't go crazy. That was why the servants didn't have to suffer so much.
Sun Ce picked up his glass and drank a few bowls in a row before putting down the glass.
"Zijing, Zijing, come, come, come, drink with me!" Sun Ce shouted.
"My Lord, please don't go!" The deputy sent by Yang Hong reminded Lu Su. His mission was to protect Lu Su, so Lu Su's safety was his top priority. Sun Ce had already gone crazy and killed several of his own people. How could he let Lu Su get close to him?
"Zijing, Zijing!" Sun Ce shouted loudly, knocking over the wine bottles beside him. But no one paid him any attention.
"Ahhh!" Sun Ce went berserk again. A servant who was pouring wine on the side suffered a calamity. This time, it was not a simple stab to the chest. Instead, his head was directly sent flying into the sky. Once again, a group of people were scared to death. Sun Ce's words made Sun Ce's head fly into the sky.
"Zijing, Zijing!" Sun Ce shouted, looking like he wouldn't give up until Lu Su came.
Lu Su looked at Sun Ce's appearance and could not help but walk towards him.
"My Lord, please don't go!" Ambassador Yang Fu said to Lu Su.
Lu Su shook his head and said to his deputy, "I don't want to go, but I have to go!"
If Sun Ce only killed his own people, then it had nothing to do with Lu Su. Lu Su wouldn't even look at it. Although he didn't have the heart to do it, after all, everyone had their own master.
But now, it was different. Lu Su didn't care about the life and death of Sun Ce's people, but he couldn't ignore Sun Ce's life and death. This damned Sun Ce, Bofu Sun, actually wanted to kill himself.
Lu Su panicked. If Sun Ce died here, Lu Su would not be able to explain himself. The most important point was that Jiangdong was Lu Su's hometown. He really did not want his hometown to be caught in the flames of war. What happened to Liu Bei in Yuzhou? A good place like Yuzhou was eventually destroyed. Lu Su felt that Lu Su was in a very bad situation. He did not want his hometown to fall into the flames of war.
"Don't worry, Deputy Yang, I will take care of myself!" Lu Su said to Deputy Emissary Yang. However, Lu Su's deputy was still worried. In the end, Lu Su had no choice but to say, "Deputy Emissary Yang, before we left Yangzhou, what did the Lord say? What did Foreign Minister Yang Hong say?
"Forget?" How could Yang Chen forget these words? Liu Mang's order was to leave everything to Lu Su. Whether it was war or peace, it was all up to Lu Su. Yang Hong's words to Yang Chen, in addition to protecting Lu Su, was to listen to Lu Su.
"Since Deputy Yang still remembers, it's good!" Lu Su didn't want to be serious with his subordinate, but there was no other way.
"Get out of the way!" Lu Su looked at Yang Chen sternly.
"Yes!" Yang Chen could only reluctantly give up.
"Zijing, Zijing, where are you? Zijing, come drink with this marquis, drink!" Sun Ce shouted loudly.
"Zijing is here, Wu Hou! Zijing is here to drink with you. " Lu Su also carefully approached Sun Ce.
"Oh, you came, Zijing, come, I will pour wine for you, let's drink together!" Sun Ce said to Lu Su with a smile.
"Wu Hou, we have drunk enough, let's not drink, okay? Let's go back and rest, okay?" Lu Su comforted Sun Ce on the side, Bofu Sun.
"Rest, no, I haven't drunk enough. These drinks are nothing, a little bit of horse urine is enough to make me, Sun Ce Bofu Sun, drunk! It's a joke. " Sun Ce boasted shamelessly.
Lu Su was helpless and rolled his eyes. If you were not drunk by horse urine, how could you become like this now?
"Good, good, good! I will drink with you, Wu Hou! "In order to appease Sun Ce, Lu Su could only risk his life and drink with the gentleman.
"It's been a long time, good tolerance!" Sun Ce gave Lu Su a thumbs up. "Again!" Sun Ce directly slowed down for himself and slowed down for Lu Su.
The two of them drank one bowl, one bowl, one bowl, and in the end, they were not satisfied and directly used the wine bottle to drink. This time, Lu Su really wanted to vomit. He, Lu Su, Lu Zijing, had never drunk so much alcohol before. Alcohol could cause chaos in the country. Alcohol could make people lose their intelligence. That was why Lu Su had never drunk much. But now, he drank so much.
"I can't drink anymore, Wu Hou, I really can't drink anymore." Lu Su shook his head fiercely. He was about to cry in his heart and vomit in his mouth. His whole body was in discomfort. Why is Lu Meng not back yet? Why is Gong Jin not back yet? He, Lu Su, could not take it anymore.
"Not drinking? No, Lu Su, are you looking down on me, Sun Ce Bofu Sun? I lost, I lost to your highness, King Of Shu. So what? You can look down on me just because I lost? I am not convinced. Get that little brat Liu Mang to stand in front of me, I want to fight him one on one. I will definitely kill him! "Sun Ce shouted loudly.
"Impudent!" Yang Chen was angry. The King Of Shu, Liu Mang, was Yang Chen's lord. Now, Sun Ce actually dared to talk nonsense and wanted to kill his lord. This made Yang Chen angry.
"Why am I wrong? That little brat, Liu Mang, what virtue and ability does he have? Isn't it just some dirty tricks, isn't it just those broken warships? If it was the same, my Jiangdong men would not be worse than Liu Mang. At that time, hehe, the one who sent the messenger would be me, Sun Ce, Bofu Sun! "Sun Ce shouted loudly.
Yang Chen was about to step forward to deal with Sun Ce, but was stopped by Lu Su. Lu Su was now eager for Sun Ce to speak a little more, so that he could judge whether this old master really wanted to subdue Yangzhou, or it was a lie from the beginning.
"I don't accept, I don't accept! Liu Mang, little brat, do you dare to fight with me? You don't dare, you don't dare! I, Sun Ce, obtained the inheritance of the overlord, I, Sun Ce, occupied Jiangdong, I, Sun Ce, took the responsibility of the Sun family, but I lost, I lost! " Sun Ce's voice was getting lower and lower. "I am not reconciled, I am not reconciled, I am tired, I am really tired, Zhongmou, why did you do that, why did you! Since you want the throne, I will give it to you. I am already tired. I do not want to fight anymore. Since you want Jiangdong, I will give it to Yangzhou's Liu Mang. This thing is an obstacle in front of our brotherly love. "Liu Mang said. You want it, right? If you have the ability, go and snatch it from that little brat, Liu Mang! "Sun Ce's voice was getting smaller and smaller.
"Tired? Zhongmou? "Lu Su recorded his words one by one in his heart.
"Phew, phew!" Just when Lu Su wanted to see how Sun Ce, Sun Ce, was doing, there was a sound of snoring from the other side. This Wu Hou, this Lord Sun Ce, was drunk and had fallen asleep.
"Mr. Lu Su, Mr. Lu Su, the Governor is here, the Governor is here!" Lu Meng's voice was also heard. Lu Meng rushed over and shouted loudly to Lu Su. Behind him was a dumpling cabinet. It should be the Governor, Zhou Yu, Gong Jin.
"Shh! Lower your voice, Wu Hou is asleep! " Lu Su shouted to Lu Meng outside. Sun Ce had finally fallen asleep. If Lu Meng's loud voice woke Sun Ce up, Lu Su would be at his wit's end.
"What, he fell asleep?" Lu Meng saw Sun Ce lying on the ground inside and felt relieved. "Fortunately, fortunately!"
"Haha, you've come just in time. Wu Hou has just fallen asleep, and you've come!" Yang Chen on the side said. Sun Ce just fell asleep and he came with Zhou Yu. Why did it take so long to invite Zhou Yu? Could it be that Zhou Yu was caught outside the city?
"Yang Chen, speak less!" Lu Su also had a trace of anger. After all, this was not Lu Su's matter in Yangzhou. However, Lu Su still respected harmony and let Yang Chen maintain restraint.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Mr. Lu Su, it's all my fault. We were delayed on the road! "Lu Meng said to Lu Su and Yang Chen.
"A word of sorry is enough?"
"This is not Lu Meng's fault! It's my fault! " A weak voice came out from the Jiaozi. Although a sickly man, he still had a special kind of masculine charm to him as he walked out.
"En?" Lu Su's eyes widened as he looked at the person.
"Little Sir, Zhou Yu, Gong Jin is here to apologize to you." The sickly handsome man cupped his fist and said to Yang Chen.
"You are Zhou Yu?" Yang Chen also saw Zhou Yu. Although he and Zhou Yu were enemies, he was also impressed by Zhou Yu's temperament. He could not help but have a good impression of Zhou Yu in his heart.
"It is this one!" Zhou Yu said with a smile.
"Gong Jin, I trust you have been well since we last met!" Lu Su said to his former best friend.
"Lu Daren, it's been a long time!" Zhou Yu also said to Lu Su.
"What's wrong, Gong Jin? Although you and I have different masters, are there no previous feelings?" Lu Su looked at Zhou Yu and said to Zhou Yu.
"Oh, that's natural. Zijing, you are much stronger than me now!" Zhou Yu showed his free and easy attitude.
"Haha, this is the Zhou Yu, Gong Jin that I know!" Lu Su laughed heartily.
"Cough!" Zhou Yu also smiled, but after laughing twice, he could not help but cough. He was very weak.
"Gong Jin, what's wrong with you?" Lu Su looked at Zhou Yu nervously. His friendship with Zhou Yu was real.
"No, nothing! It's just that last time I accidentally hurt myself. " Zhou Yu said to Lu Su with a pale face. Although Zhou Yu was smiling, Lu Su could still feel the pain on Zhou Yu's face.
"Last time?" Lu Su finally knew what was going on. Zhou Yu's injury should be caused by Jiangdong's Second Young Master, Sun Quan and Sun Zhongmou.
"Gong Jin, why do you have to do this?" Lu Su shook his head. He now knew why Zhou Yu and the others were so late. It was because the wound on Zhou Yu's chest had just scabbed over and had not healed. He could not withstand the large jolts, so Lu Meng went to call for Zhou Yu and then brought Zhou Yu from the Zhou Family Mansion. They could not travel too fast, so they could only use Jiaozi to delay the journey.
"Zijing, you won't blame me, right?" Zhou Yu said to Lu Su with a smile.
"Of course not! Your injury needs to be healed as soon as possible. After all, your health is the most important. " Lu Su said to Zhou Yu with concern.
"Of course, I still want to be an official in the same palace as you, Zijing!" Zhou Yu smiled and said to Lu Su.
"Be an official with me?" Lu Su thought about this word and looked at Zhou Yu. "Gong Jin, are you willing?" Lu Su asked Zhou Yu. What he meant was that Zhou Yu, Gong Jin, was willing to part with Jiangdong, the hegemony of Jiangdong that he had built with his own hands.
"What's there to be reluctant about? What do you mean by 'willing' and 'unwilling'?" Zhou Yu did not answer Lu Su directly. His gaze deepened. Lu Su followed Zhou Yu's gaze and saw several maidservants helping Sun Ce out of the hall to rest in the backyard.
"Wherever he is, it is where I, Zhou Yu, Gong Jin, should be!" Zhou Yu said to Lu Su.
"Marquis Wu?" Lu Su frowned. Zhou Yu's affection for Marquis Wu Sun Ce is too deep.
"If he says he wants to fight to the death, then I, Zhou Yu, will die with him. If he says he is tired and does not want to fight, then I, Zhou Yu, will accompany him!" Zhou Yu looked at Sun Ce affectionately.
"Gong Jin, if you get too close to him, your life will be wasted!" Lu Su said to Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu naturally knew what Lu Su meant by wasted.
When Sun Ce entered Yangzhou, Liu Mang was already benevolent enough to let Sun Ce live as a rich man. This was also because of Sun Shangxiang's face. However, it was impossible for Sun Ce to regain control of the military. If Zhou Yu did not get too close to Sun Ce, then Zhou Yu could be recognized by the King Of Shu, Liu Mang. This was because Zhou Yu's talent was there. Zhou Yu could even be a minister.
However, if Zhou Yu and Sun Ce got too close, then Sun Ce would have no chance. Zhou Yu would also have no chance. No matter how talented you were, you would not be used because people would be afraid of you.
"Haha, it is not bad to live a peaceful life! Didn't we think so at the beginning? " Zhou Yu was still smiling. Lu Su could not see through Zhou Yu. Indeed, they had lived a peaceful life, but that was after they had settled the chaos with their own hands. At that time, the horses were free to go to Nanshan, and the weapons were in the warehouse. This was what they wanted.
However, the world was not peaceful yet. This war still had to be fought. Why did Zhou Yu have to live a peaceful life?
"Ai!" Lu Su sighed. "Gong Jin, recuperate well. Wu Hou Daren will be left to you! I also have to go back and rest. "Lu Su said to Zhou Yu.
"En! Zijing, take care. If there is a chance, let's drink together! "Zhou Yu said to Lu Su.
"Certainly, certainly!" Lu Su turned around and left. He really couldn't bear to see his best friend's desolation. His original lofty aspirations had already disappeared.
"Daren, Daren!" Yang Chen followed Lu Su and left.
"Yang Chen, what do you think of Wu Hou and Zhou Yu, Gong Jin?" Lu Su asked Yang Chen on the side.
"Sun Ce should be killed. Zhou Yu is good!" Yang Chen gave Lu Su an answer, but Lu Su shook his head. He naturally knew what Yang Chen meant by 'should be killed'. That was Wu Hou Sun Ce's verbal abuse of the Lord. For Yang Chen, whoever scolded Liu Mang naturally should be killed.
"What about the others?" Lu Su continued to ask.
"Heroes are lonely, at the end of the road!" Yang Chen continued to speak. This was what he felt the most in Sun Ce's mansion. In Sun Ce's mansion, whether it was the servants or the maidservants or others, they were all frightened and panicked. Looking at Yang Chen and the others, they did not dare to breathe. There was even something called despair in their eyes. Sun Ce's appearance and Zhou Yu's appearance were like autumn had come, and everything was going to be ruined.
"Yes! At the end of the road, they are all tired! Kongming, it seems that you also have times when you are wrong. " Lu Su looked at the sky and muttered to himself. "Gong Jin, you are the beauty of Jiangdong, Zhou Yu. You are the person that I, Lu Su, have always wanted to surpass. How can you become like this? I want you, Zhou Yu, to recover!" When he returned to his residence, Lu Su immediately wrote a letter and had someone send it to Yangzhou as fast as possible.
…
"As I said, this Sun Ce, Bofu Sun, even if he is the Little Overlord, he should surrender. Even if he is a wolf, he can be trained to be a dog!" Liu Mang was in Shouchun, looking at the secret letter sent by Lu Su on the table. It was all written about the panic of the people in Jiangdong. All of them, whether it was the people, the officials, the generals, or the like, were in a state of depression.
Sun Ce had indeed obtained the inheritance of Xiang Yu. The King of Western Chu refused to cross Jiangdong because he had no attachment. But Sun Ce was different. Sun Ce was a person with a family. He had his old mother, his brother in prison, and Sun Shangxiang, who was now Liu Mang's wife in Yangzhou. Sun Ce could not care about himself, but could he not care about them?
Therefore, Sun Ce could not hold on. Surrendering was sooner or later. That Zhuge villager, humph, humph, this is a good slap in the face. He wants to send troops, send troops. Liu Mang wanted to see Zhuge Liang again and see that gloomy face of Zhuge Liang.
"Milord, this Zijing is talking about Zhou Yu, Gong Jin. Milord, how do you plan to deal with him?" Xu Shu stood at the side and said to Liu Mang. In the letter, Lu Su not only said that Jiangdong might surrender, but also praised Zhou Yu, Gong Jin. It was simply praising Zhou Yu like a flower.
At the end of the letter, Lu Su also said that compared to Gong Jin, ten Lu Su's were not worth it.
Ten Lu Su's were not worth one Zhou Yu? Lu Su, Lu Zijing, you look down on yourself too much. If Lu Su and Zhou Yu were to stand together, Liu Mang believed that Lu Su would not be able to compete with Zhou Yu. Whether it was talent, appearance, literature, or martial arts, they were all the same.
However, Lu Su had his own characteristics, and that was his seriousness. One and a half Lu Su would definitely be able to beat Zhou Yu. If there were two or three of them, haha, Zhou Yu would not be able to compete with them. Haven't you heard of the saying, 'three skunks are better than Zhuge Liang'?
Even Zhuge Liang's evildoer had some areas that he missed out.
"Zhou Yu is talented, but not as good as Zijing said!" Liu Mang shook his head and said. "This person is a bit better than Zijing and is on par with Lu Xun. He is a bit worse than that Zhuge villager."
Xu Shu helplessly looked at his Lord. Zhuge villager, Zhuge villager, Zhuge villager, this Zhuge Liang is my junior brother. Can't you say something nice in front of me?
"This Zhou Yu, I naturally know how to use him!" With such a talent, Liu Mang was naturally happy to use him. He wanted to recruit Zhou Yu. How could he let go of such a person who gathered the hobbies of famous generals?
"But Lord, what if this Zhou Yu is loyal to Sun Ce?" Xu Shu said to Liu Mang. According to Xu Shu's idea, Sun Ce would be given an idle position or go to the logistics department. However, if this Zhou Yu was loyal to Sun Ce, then it would be difficult to handle. Could it be that he should also hide Zhou Yu?
"Haha, this is easy to handle!" Liu Mang smiled indifferently. He did not care about this problem at all!
