On the third day, Sun Ce woke up from his drunken stupor late in the morning. His entire body was weak, and there was even a slight pain in his body.
"Ah!" Sun Ce woke up, and the pain in his body made him cry out involuntarily.
"You're awake!" A familiar voice sounded from the side. Sun Ce finally reacted and saw the person who came. It was a handsome face.
"Gong Jin?" Sun Ce finally saw the person clearly. Wasn't it his Governor, Zhou Yu, Gong Jin? Looking at the tired expression on Zhou Yu's face and the clothes on Zhou Yu's body, it seemed that he had not gone back and had been waiting here for a long time.
"Come, come, come. You just woke up. Drink a mouthful of hot porridge to soften your body!" Zhou Yu shouted to the maidservant outside, "Someone, bring in the tea."
"Yes," a reply came from outside the room. A maidservant came in with a bowl of porridge that had been prepared long ago.
"My lord, you're awake!" Ling Cao came in with the maidservant. Lu Meng had already gone back to rest, and it was Ling Cao's turn to stand guard outside.
"Yes!" Sun Ce nodded and picked up the bowl of porridge to drink. He had drunk too much wine earlier, and there was not much food in his stomach. After drinking this mouthful of porridge, he immediately felt much better. It was as tempting as a delicacy.
"Gong Jin, how long have I been asleep?" Sun Ce asked Zhou Yu.
"My lord, including today, it has been three days." Zhou Yu said to Sun Ce.
"Three days?" Sun Ce's eyes widened. He could not help but shake his head. This wine was really a hindrance.
"Governor, you should drink a mouthful too. You've been here for two nights." Ling Cao spoke, and Sun Ce was stunned. "Gong Jin. You've been here for two days? "
"You talk too much!" Zhou Yu's expression turned sullen as he said sternly to Ling Cao. "My lord, I've only just arrived."
Ling Cao ignored Zhou Yu's sullen expression and reported truthfully to Sun Ce beside him, "My lord, the Viceroy hasn't left since you got drunk that day."
"What?" Originally, Sun Ce thought that Zhou Yu would only accompany him at night, but he didn't expect that Zhou Yu didn't leave at all. "Gong Jin, you're a patient. Have you recovered from your injuries? Why are you still here accompanying me? Aren't you just messing around? "Sun Ce said anxiously to Zhou Yu. He couldn't help but look at him reproachfully.
"Don't worry, my lord. This injury is no longer a big deal. The doctor said that as long as we don't make too big of a movement, there won't be any problems. We just need to nurse our bodies back to health. With Divine Doctor Zhu's prescription, this wound might not even be seen. "Zhou Yu teased Sun Ce.
"Then you should go back and rest! Why are you taking care of me here?! "Sun Ce was still worried about Zhou Yu's injury.
"My lord, I understand!" Zhou Yu said.
"Why are you calling me your lord? I've said it before. In front of outsiders, you can call me your lord. At home, you can call me your elder brother. This Ling Cao isn't an outsider." Sun Ce said with concern for Zhou Yu.
"Big, Big Brother!" Zhou Yu didn't regard himself as an outsider and shouted at Sun Ce.
"Someone, bring another bowl and chopsticks. Give the Viceroy a bowl too." Sun Ce ordered the servant girl.
"Okay!" Ling Cao was prepared this time and directly took out the bowl and chopsticks. "The Viceroy is here."
Zhou Yu didn't want to drink it because there wasn't much of this lotus seed porridge. It was all to let his lord sober up and nourish his body. If he drank it, what would Sun Ce drink?
"Just drink it when I tell you to! Just don't make it anymore. "Sun Ce ordered Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu couldn't refuse, so he could only pick up the bowl of hot porridge and drink it.
"Gong Jin, what did Lu Su and Lu Zijing say that day?" Sun Ce had almost forgotten something important because he was worried about Zhou Yu's injury.
"My lord, that day? Hehe, Zijing should have recommended me to the King Of Shu, Liu Mang. " Zhou Yu put down the porridge and smiled. Zhou Yu was also a demon. There weren't many people in the world who could subdue him. Other than the demon Zhuge, no one else could do much to him. Although Zhou Yu hadn't seen what Lu Su and Lu Zijing were thinking and doing, he could roughly guess what they were thinking and doing.
Zhou Yu was smiling, but it was hard to say how much of this smile was genuine. It was a bitter smile, but also a happy one.
The bitter smile was because Lu Su and Lu Zijing were Zhou Yu's best friends. He should treat his best friends with wine and sincerity, and not be so calculative. Even at this time, Lu Su didn't forget about his best friend. He even wrote a letter to the King Of Shu, asking him to put him in an important position. This was a taboo time, because everyone knew about the relationship between Zhou Yu and Sun Ce. If it was because of Zhou Yu, the King Of Shu, Liu Mang could be jealous of Lu Su. However, Lu Su still wrote a letter to Liu Mang, recommending Zhou Yu.
To be honest, Zhou Yu was really touched.
"Gong Jin, don't worry. Once we succeed, Jiangdong will be covered. The position of Jiangdong's Ambassador will be reserved for Lu Su and Lu Zijing." In order to make Zhou Yu feel less guilty, Sun Ce actually put in a lot of effort. The previous Ambassador of Jiangdong was Zhang Zhao. Now, Zhuge Jin's position was Jiangdong's number one civil official.
"Then, I will thank Big Brother on behalf of Zijing." Sun Ce said this, and Zhou Yu felt a little better. Lu Su was only a Minister in Yangzhou, and he was still under Xu Shu. Although Yangzhou was bigger than Jiangdong, he could be the head of a chicken and not the tail of a phoenix. Moreover, his Lu family was in Jiangdong. Staying in Jiangdong was better than going to Yangzhou.
After the guilt disappeared, Zhou Yu's heart was left with joy.
Yes, joy. Because a few days ago, when Sun Ce got drunk, it was completely planned by Zhou Yu and Sun Ce.
Sun Ce pretended to be drunk, or it could be said that 80% of it was real and 20% was fake.
80% was real. That was the reason why Sun Ce was not convinced by the King Of Shu, Liu Mang. Sun Ce was not convinced. Why did he, Sun Ce, lose to Liu Mang? Wasn't it all because of those dirty tricks? If you have the guts, then fight from the same starting line. Therefore, Sun Ce lost a lot. At the same time, Sun Ce did not really want to surrender. Showing it like this would make Lu Su believe that Sun Ce did not want to surrender, but because of Sun Quan's matter, he had no choice but to surrender.
He was tired of creating Jiangdong's Little Conqueror and did not want to continue fighting. He was hurt by his brother Sun Quan. He was doing this for Lu Su to see. If Sun Ce had agreed to all of Yangzhou's conditions at the beginning, then Lu Su would not be at ease. Only by being so unruly would Lu Su feel at ease.
"It's a pity for those two soldiers." Sun Ce felt a bit of regret. Because that day, in order to gain the confidence of the enemy, Sun Ce had personally killed two of his personal bodyguards. Those two bodyguards were Sun Ce's most trusted men. Even if Sun Ce ordered them to die, they would not frown. But in the end, they died in the hands of their lord. Sun Ce's heart was filled with guilt.
"Lord. As for the two soldiers, I have already given them a proper burial. Their children have also been brought to my mansion. In the future, I will teach them how to read and write so that they can serve Milord! "Zhou Yu helped Sun Ce to deal with all the matters.
"That's the best!" Sun Ce nodded. "Now that the King Of Shu, Liu Mang, has believed in our Jiangdong, some things should start."
Zhou Yu also nodded.
