No matter how stupid Guan Hai was, he knew that he had been played by his lord. Why didn't he say that the pastries were made by his mistress earlier? Now, he couldn't take back his words. He had already said that the pastries tasted bad in front of his lord and mistress. How could he say that it tasted good again? He had already vomited out the pastries on the floor.
"My lord, this, this!" Guan Hai wanted to cry. This had nothing to do with him. Now, he had offended his mistress for no reason.
"Alright, Guan Hai, there's nothing for you to do here. You can leave!" Liu Mang waved his hand at Guan Hai. He had asked Guan Hai to come in so that he could use Guan Hai's mouth to say the bad words. Now that Guan Hai had completed his task and dispelled Sun Shangxiang's desire to make pastries for him every day, he didn't have to make things difficult for Guan Hai anymore.
"Yes!" Guan Hai hurriedly ran out as if he had been granted amnesty.
"Xiang 'er, cooking isn't something that can be done in a day. Go and learn from your mother-in-law. You'll get better one day. When that time comes, even if you don't let your husband eat it, your husband will force you to make it!" Liu Mang comforted Sun Shangxiang. After hearing Liu Mang's words, Sun Shangxiang's anger turned into a smile.
"Come, let me have a taste of the best steamed buns!" Liu Mang said with a sly smile.
"You're annoying!" Sun Shangxiang pushed Liu Mang away.
Just as Liu Mang was about to force Sun Shangxiang to eat the steamed buns, Guan Hai shouted to Liu Mang, "My lord, the guard said that a lady is looking for you outside the mansion."
"A lady came looking for you?" Sun Shangxiang's gaze suddenly changed. Although Sun Shangxiang had just joined the Liu family, she soon joined the tigress team led by Qiao Yu and Miss Lu. She came to Jiangdong with the intention of supervising Liu Mang. "Tell me, which family's girl did you hook up with this time?" Sun Shangxiang said relentlessly.
"Wrongly accused?" When Liu Mang came to Jiangdong, he was busy recruiting talents. How could he have the time to hook up with Gu Liang's family? But Sun Shangxiang obviously didn't believe him.
"Oh, Mistress, that lady is here for you!" Guan Hai hurriedly explained when he saw that a bloodbath was about to break out.
"Looking for me?" Sun Shangxiang was stunned.
"Yes, that lady said she's your good friend!" Guan Hai said to Sun Shangxiang.
"Look, he's here for you, not for me! Guan Hai, can't you say it all at once? "Liu Mang was a little angry. He almost got hit by Sun Shangxiang's Nine Yin White Bone Claw.
"That lady also said she knows you!" Guan Hai added.
"En?" Sun Shangxiang's tone became louder.
"Mistress, it's a misunderstanding. It's definitely a misunderstanding. How could I know anyone in Jiangdong?"
"You'll know when you go out!" Sun Shangxiang still wouldn't let Liu Mang go so easily. She stood up from Liu Mang's lap, tidied her clothes, opened the door, and left. "Where is that lady? Bring me there!" A guard nodded and brought Sun Shangxiang away.
"Guan Hai, come in!" Liu Mang's angry voice came from the room.
"My lord, you called for me?" Guan Hai walked in and asked Liu Mang.
"You did it on purpose?" Liu Mang gritted his teeth and asked Guan Hai.
"What do you mean on purpose?" Guan Hai saw that Liu Mang's ears had turned red. One side was red while the other was white. It was obvious that he had been through a lot. Guan Hai wanted to laugh but didn't dare to. He looked at Liu Mang innocently.
"Don't play dumb. Hmph, how dare you scheme against your lord. Come, I'll let you deal with all these pastries! If there's one left, I'll hold you responsible! "Liu Mang pointed at the pastries and said fiercely to Guan Hai.
"Ahhh!" With a long face, Guan Hai took out the pastries from the lunchbox and was about to take them out to destroy them.
Under the lead of the guard, Sun Shangxiang came to a side hall. A woman in white was sitting there, deep in thought.
"You are?" Sun Shangxiang walked over and asked curiously.
The lady in white stood up and turned around. Sun Shangxiang saw her face and called out in surprise, "Yue 'er!"
"Qiao Yue greets Consort King Of Shu!" The lady in white bowed to Sun Shangxiang.
"Yue 'er, don't be so polite. Just call me Sister Xiang' er!" Sun Shangxiang said to Qiao Yue.
"Sister Xiang 'er!" Qiao Yue shouted to Sun Shangxiang.
"Yes!" Sun Shangxiang smiled and nodded. One must know that Sun Shangxiang had a good relationship with the Qiao Sisters. Qiao Yu was currently in Shouchun. She should have died after Wancheng City was destroyed. Therefore, Sun Shangxiang couldn't directly tell Qiao Yue that her sister was still alive.
In fact, even if Sun Shangxiang didn't say it, Qiao Yue knew.
"Why is sister alone?" Qiao Yue suddenly asked Sun Shangxiang.
"En?" Sun Shangxiang was stunned. What does this mean? Didn't you look for me?
Qiao Yue also knew that she asked abruptly. So, she lowered her head and asked with a red face, "I'm asking if His Highness King Of Shu is with you?"
"He, he is in the study room preparing to pack up and go back to Shouchun!" Sun Shangxiang said to Qiao Yue.
"Ah, you are leaving!" Qiao Yue was nervous.
"Yes, what's wrong, Yue 'er?" Sun Shangxiang looked at the strange Qiao Yue in front of her. Qiao Yue had always been known for her lively character. Even Sun Shangxiang's maidservants were trained into female soldiers by Qiao Yue. But today, she was very shy.
"No, nothing!" Qiao Yue's heart was a little flustered. That person came to Jiangdong and didn't even see her face. Qiao Yue didn't know why her heart was sour. "It's just that Sister Xiang 'er has not been here for long and is going back. I am a little reluctant." Qiao Yue quickly covered up her true thoughts.
"If you miss your Sister Xiang 'er, you can go to Shouchun to find me!" Sun Shangxiang said to Qiao Yue.
"Can I?" Qiao Yue asked happily.
"Of course! As long as your father is willing, you can come to Shouchun at any time! "Sun Shangxiang replied.
Qiao Yue's eyes dimmed again. Her father didn't have a good impression of His Highness the King Of Shu because he hadn't told him about Qiao Yu's matter. Qiao Xuan always thought that the King Of Shu, Liu Mang, had killed his eldest daughter. It would be strange if he had a good impression of Liu Mang, let alone go to Shouchun.
"Are you here to find my sister?" Sun Shangxiang asked Qiao Yue.
"No, no, I am here to find him!" Qiao Yue answered subconsciously.
"Him? Which him? " Sun Shangxiang was a little confused. She remembered that Guan Hai said that Gu Liang also said that he knew His Highness the King Of Shu. Was she here to find her husband?
Qiao Yue knew that she had said something wrong. "I am, I am!"
"Yue 'er, you are here!" Old Lady Wu also appeared.
"Mother!" Sun Shangxiang looked at her mother and shouted.
"Old Lady!" Qiao Yue didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Old Lady Wu and bowed politely.
"You are here to find your brother Zhou Yu, right?" Old Lady Wu asked Qiao Yue.
Old Lady Wu's words relieved Qiao Yue of the awkwardness. "Yes, yes, Old Lady, I am here to find brother Zhou Yu."
Hearing her mother's words, Sun Shangxiang remembered that Zhou Yu was still living in the mansion. Zhou Yu had been living in the mansion ever since he got injured. Qiao Yue and Qiao Yue were engaged to Zhou Yu and her brother.
"Go, go! Gong Jin has been injured for a long time. You must have been worried for a long time! Come, take Miss Yue 'er to find Gong Jin. "Old Lady Wu nodded and said. Old Lady Wu knew that her two sons' lives were not in danger. She was very happy and became a kind person.
Qiao Yue was thinking about how to get rid of Sun Shangxiang. Hearing Old Lady Wu's words, she immediately left.
"This Yue 'er!" Sun Shangxiang shook her head.
"Are you going back?" Although Old Lady Wu didn't care about anything, she still knew some things.
"Yes!" Sun Shangxiang nodded. "I have accompanied my husband to Jiangdong for a long time. He has to go back to deal with the government affairs!" Sun Shangxiang said to her mother.
"Important things, important things, important things!" Old Lady Wu was very understanding.
"Mother, why don't you go with us to Shouchun?" Sun Shangxiang was a little reluctant to leave her mother and suggested to her.
"I won't go. I am old. Besides, they haven't returned home yet. If I leave, who will take care of this family?" Old Lady Wu touched Sun Shangxiang's head and said. Sun Shangxiang knew who her mother was talking about. It was her two brothers.
"Mother, you must take care of yourself!"
"Silly child!"
Qiao Yue was led to the place where Zhou Yu lived by the maidservant of Marquis Wu's mansion. Zhou Yu was playing the zither. Compared to Zhou Yu a few days ago, Zhou Yu's face was a lot rosier these days. After all, he had put down the important matters in his heart and naturally took care of his body.
Qiao Yue listened to Zhou Yu playing the zither and her heart slowly calmed down.
Zhou Yu finished the song and saw Qiao Yue on the side. "Yue 'er, you are here!" Zhou Yu looked at the person coming and said with a smile. It was as if he knew that Qiao Yue would come.
"Elder Brother Gong Jin!" Qiao Yue lowered her head and shouted.
"You didn't see that person?" Zhou Yu asked Qiao Yue with a smile.
Qiao Yue nodded and said yes. She had already laid her cards on the table with Zhou Yu. She didn't like Zhou Yu, or rather, she didn't love Zhou Yu. She just regarded Zhou Yu as her elder brother, a big brother.
Zhou Yu didn't care. If it was in the past, Zhou Yu might be angry because Qiao Yue was his fiancee. But now, Zhou Yu didn't because he knew what he wanted and loved. His whole life was for that person.
So for Qiao Yue, Zhou Yu naturally became a kind of elder brother's love for his younger sister.
"Counting the days, is he going to leave?" Zhou Yu gently plucked the zither strings. The strings of the zither were as messy as Qiao Yue's heart.
"En!" Qiao Yue replied.
"What are you going to do? Go to Shouchun with him? "Zhou Yu asked.
"I don't know!" Qiao Yue had no idea at all. How could she go to Yangzhou with Liu Mang? Without a status, who was she to Liu Mang? Why would she go to Yangzhou? Moreover, she couldn't persuade her father.
"Ai!" Zhou Yu sighed. "Yue 'er, is it worth it?" Zhou Yu asked Qiao Yue.
"Yue 'er doesn't know. Yue' er only knows that the days when I was with him were the happiest days of my life!" Qiao Yue shook her head. She seemed to have returned to the time when she and her sister met Liu Mang in Shucheng. At that time, they misunderstood him. During that time, they fought and quarreled. Although it was hard, Qiao Yue felt that it was her favorite time.
"I know!" Zhou Yu understood that this girl was hopelessly in love with him. Zhou Yu didn't understand how that guy could make so many girls fall in love with him.
"Yue 'er, this time I may go to Shouchun with His Highness the King Of Shu. You should come with me!" Zhou Yu said to Qiao Yue. He knew that even if Liu Mang trusted him, it was impossible for him to stay in Jiangdong. Zhou Yu estimated that he would go to Shouchun in Yangzhou.
Qiao Yue listened to Zhou Yu's words and suddenly felt happy, but then she became gloomy again. "What about my father?"
"Don't worry, I will talk to Uncle Qiao!" Zhou Yu nodded to Qiao Yue.
"Thank you, brother Gong Jin!" Qiao Yue was really grateful to Zhou Yu.
…
"Is there still no news about Zijing?" Liu Mang came to Jiangdong to find Lu Zijing. Lu Su was deceived by Sun Ce and Zhou Yu. He felt ashamed to face Liu Mang and wanted to return Jiangdong to Liu Mang. However, now that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu had surrendered, the situation of Jiangdong was settled, but there was still no news about Lu Su.
"No!" Zhuge Liang shook his head. Most of the spies in Yangzhou were sent out, even some of the people in Jiangdong joined in, but there was still no news about Lu Su.
"Sigh! Lu Su, Lu Su, why are you so stubborn! " Liu Mang hated and loved Lu Su at the same time. He loved Lu Su because a dutiful person like Lu Su was very rare. It was Liu Mang's good fortune to have Lu Su. But he hated Lu Su for being so serious. If he lost him, then so be it. Why bother?
"Boyan, when we return to Yangzhou, you must not relax your search for Zijing!" Liu Mang was very worried about Lu Su. Now that Jiangdong was in war, it would be bad if something bad happened.
"Don't worry, Milord. Once there is news about Minister Lu, I will inform Milord!" Lu Xun nodded.
"Good! Prepare to board the ship! "Liu Mang nodded.
"Governor, take care!" Some of Zhou Yu's generals went back to Yangzhou with Liu Mang. There were also some who stayed in Jiangdong. Because they were people of Jiangdong, they were familiar with the governance of Jiangdong. So, there was nothing bad about keeping them.
"Take care of yourselves. If there is a chance, I will come back to visit you!" Zhou Yu nodded. He looked at the other side of the Yangtze River. He, Zhou Yu, was about to leave Jiangdong, which he had worked hard for for many years. He could not help but feel a little reluctant. However, in the blink of an eye, he only wanted to support the Han dynasty. Now, under Liu Mang's command, he could also show his talent.
Therefore, at the beginning, the warlords didn't want to replace the Han Dynasty. This was because the Han Dynasty had been established for hundreds of years. After all, it was deeply rooted. Therefore, everyone still put the Han Emperor in their eyes. However, slowly, the Han Emperor, or rather, the Liu Han Dynasty, didn't have any outstanding characters. This made the people look down on the Liu Han Dynasty more and more. They felt that the Liu Han Dynasty was just a human and not a Son of Heaven. If you can become the Emperor, why can't I? Gradually, some people called themselves Emperors, and some people called themselves Kings.
"Milord, are you waiting for someone there?" Zhou Yu asked a little strangely. This was because Liu Mang's eyes showed that he was reluctant to part with Jiangdong. The King Of Shu, Liu Mang, was not from Jiangdong. So, it could only be said that he was waiting for someone.
"It seems so!"
"Waiting for someone? Who is he waiting for? "Zhou Yu thought for a long time. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. Could it be him?
"Quickly, help me to the Milord's ship!" Zhou Yu shouted to the people around him. They were the civil and military officials of Jiangdong. In order to take care of their feelings, Liu Mang arranged for them to be on the same warship. This was to prevent them from thinking about the past or to be separated from the officials of Yangzhou.
Although the people around him felt strange, they quickly moved Zhou Yu to the warship of the King Of Shu, Liu Mang.
"Who is it? Stop! "Before they reached Liu Mang's warship, they were stopped by people.
"General, we are the officials of Jiangdong who accompanied His Highness, the King Of Shu to Yangzhou!" Someone on the side explained.
"Officials of Jiangdong, you should be on that warship! This is the Milord's warship! "The guard explained to the crowd.
"No, no!" Zhou Yu's subordinate wanted to explain but was stopped by Zhou Yu. "General, go and tell the Milord that Zhou Yu, Zhou Gong Jin has come to visit. I have something important to tell him!" Zhou Yu said to the guard of Liu Mang.
"Zhou Yu? You are the Governor of Jiangdong? " The guard did not expect the person sitting on the chair to be Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu's reputation was not small. It could even be said that the Lord personally came to Jiangdong for Zhou Yu and Zhuge Jin.
"Yes!" Zhou Yu did not know if he was lucky or not. Fortunately, his reputation was known even by the guards of the King Of Shu. Unfortunately, he was only a surrendered general.
"Wait, I will go and inform the Milord. It is not up to me to decide whether to see you or not!" The guard said to Zhou Yu.
"Thank you, General!" Zhou Yu nodded.
"Zhou Yu wants to see me?" Liu Mang was very puzzled.
"Yes, he said that he has something important to discuss with you." The guard said to Liu Mang.
What is so important that can't be discussed in Yangzhou? However, although Liu Mang was puzzled, he still waved to the guard and said, "Let him come over! Forget it, I will go. " Liu Mang thought that Zhou Yu's body had not recovered and did not want to let Zhou Yu move over.
Liu Mang walked out of the cabin and came to the deck. He saw Zhou Yu being stopped by the guard.
"Milord!" When Zhou Yu saw Liu Mang's arrival, it would be a lie to say that he was not moved. At least, the Lord still valued Zhou Yu very much. When Zhou Yu notified him, Liu Mang actually came in person.
"Gong Jin has something important to tell me?" Liu Mang looked at Zhou Yu doubtfully and asked.
"Yes, Milord. Is the Lord looking for someone?" Zhou Yu asked Liu Mang who was beside him.
Liu Mang was still wondering how Zhou Yu knew. Zhou Yu spoke again, "Is it Lu Su Lu Zijing?"
"You know about Zijing?" Liu Mang believed that Zhou Yu would not speak without thinking. He must have some news to inform Liu Mang.
"Yes!" Zhou Yu nodded.
"Where is Zijing?" Liu Mang asked quickly. He was eager to know about Lu Su.
"Milord is not in Jianye, but in Kuiji!" Zhou Yu said to Liu Mang.
"Kuiji?" Liu Mang was stunned. "Sun Quan's army?"
"Yes!" Zhou Yu nodded.
"Why would Zijing be in Sun Quan's army?" Liu Mang did not understand. Although Sun Quan was a good friend of Lu Su, after Sun Quan betrayed Lu Su, Lu Su cut ties with Sun Quan.
"Zijing probably wants to use Sun Quan's army to restrain Bofu and help Milord get the whole of Jiangdong!" Zhou Yu said to Liu Mang. Zhou Yu met Lu Su when Lu Su brought people into his mansion and tried to use him to force Sun Ce to submit. At that time, if it was not for the King Of Shu, Liu Mang, and Hua Tuo, Zhou Yu would be a dead man now.
"Ai! That stubborn man, who wants him to help Sun Quan? " Liu Mang listened to Zhou Yu's description of Lu Su and could not help but regret. According to Zhou Yu, Lu Su's voice was hoarse and his face was full of injuries. If it was not for Zhou Yu's familiarity with Lu Su, he would not be able to recognize him.
Liu Mang has confirmed that Lu Su is in Sun Quan's army. "Lu Xun, pass down my order. Send troops to Kuiji and help Sun Ce to take Kuiji as soon as possible!" Liu Mang said to Lu Xun.
"No, Milord!" Zhou Yu did not say much, but it was Zhuge Liang who spoke.
"En?" Liu Mang frowned. Now that they know where Lu Su is, they should bring Lu Su back as soon as possible.
"Milord, if you send troops now, then Jiangdong's Second Young Master will be a corpse!" Zhuge Liang explained to Liu Mang. Now, the battle in Kuiji was between the two brothers, Sun Quan and Sun Ce. If Liu Mang joined in, then the nature of the battle would be different. In order to compensate for the casualties of the Yangzhou Army, Sun Quan must die.
Liu Mang also gritted his teeth. He had promised Old Lady Wu that he would spare the lives of Sun Quan and Sun Ce. Otherwise, for Lu Su, he would not care about Sun Quan and save trouble. But now, he was in a difficult situation.
"Lu Xun, go and dismantle the ballista on our warship and teach it to Sun Ce. Then give me the ballista and let Sun Ce build it. You must help me take Kuiji as soon as possible!" If Liu Mang was not there, the ballista and ballista might be leaked.
"Milord, you can't!" Zhou Yu also spoke. He knew that Liu Mang, the King Of Shu, might really want to subdue Bofu and him. He also regarded Sun Ce as one of his own. Otherwise, he would not give the ballista and ballista to Yangzhou Army for Sun Ce to use.
"En?" This Zhuge Liang stopped him, and now this Zhou Yu also stopped him?
"My Lord, if you give Bofu the ballista and ballista cannons, we'll be able to take down Kuaiji City sooner. But if Zijing is with the rebel army, I'm afraid that Zijing's life will be in danger if something goes wrong!" Zhou Yu was right. He did not care who the ballista was. If it was not Lu Su, he would not use it. He would throw it out and kill as many as he could. Now that Sun Ce and Sun Quan were in a stalemate, both sides were using their troops to fight. Once the battle was fierce, some of the generals who did not need to fight would have to go to the front line. At that time, Lu Su, who was in Sun Quan's army, would not be able to escape from the battlefield. At that time, Lu Su would be in even more danger.
"Then what should we do? Liu Mang's relationship with Zhuge Liang is messed up! " He knew the consequences very well. If he had listened to Zhuge Liang's words, he would have attacked Jiangdong directly.
"Milord, do not worry. With Zijing's talent, Kuiji City will not last long!" Zhou Yu said to Liu Mang with a smile.
"What do you mean?" Liu Mang asked, puzzled.
"Milord, don't you believe in Zijing?" Zhuge Liang also spoke. Lu Su was his best friend. "In this world, even the strongest city wall will not be able to withstand a pincer attack. Zijing is in the city, Marquis Wu is outside the city. Kuiji City will fall!" Zhuge Liang explained to Liu Mang.
