At this moment, in Capital Wu.
Zhuge Liang brought his two attendants to Capital Wu on a small boat.
However, the one who received him was not Sun Quan of Wu Hou, but the current Governor of Wu, Lu Su.
When Zhuge Liang saw Lu Su, he immediately understood Sun Quan's intentions.
Clearly, Sun Quan had already considered sending troops, but was waiting for Liu Bei to state his terms.
Otherwise, he would not send troops unless he saw some benefits.
Otherwise, Sun Quan would not have sent Lu Su to receive him.
"Zijing, how have you been?"
Zhuge Liang smiled when he saw Lu Su.
Lu Su laughed bitterly.
"I have been ill. Kong Ming, you don't know. The position of Governor is like sitting on pins and needles."
Zhuge Liang smiled but did not speak.
The two arrived at the relay station where Zhuge Liang was staying. They poured a pot of tea and sipped it carefully.
"Jiangdong's tea is still so sweet."
Zhuge Liang carelessly looked at the tea in his cup and said, "That's right.
"Zijing, since Wu Hou sent you to receive me, you must already know Liang's intentions?"
Lu Su smiled.
"If Su is not wrong, Kong Ming is here to ask Wu Hou to send troops to aid Xiangyang, right?"
"I won't hide it from you. I can't do anything about this either."
"Cao Wei's Great General Bai Feng has already taken three cities. If he takes Jingzhou, it will be a huge threat to Jiangdong. Su is very clear, and so is Wu Hou."
"But Su can't influence Marquis Wu's thoughts!"
Hearing this, Zhuge Liang's face turned serious.
Lu Su's intentions were already very clear. He was afraid that Sun Quan was thinking the same thing as him, scheming against Jingnan.
However, he couldn't say it out loud. He could only leave himself hanging and wait for Zhuge Liang to speak.
"Zijing, this is making things very difficult for Liang."
"I wonder if Zijing has any good ideas to persuade Wu Hou?"
Zhuge Liang sighed softly.
It wasn't that Zhuge Liang was pretending, but that he really didn't have any good ideas.
Sun Quan wanted benefits, while Liu Bei was reluctant to give up. Being stuck in the middle, Sun Quan's mission to negotiate this time was very difficult.
If it weren't for the fact that Liu Bei had nowhere else to go, Zhuge Liang wouldn't have taken the risk to come to Jiangdong.
After all, to Sun Quan, he was a big problem.
It was not impossible for them to take this opportunity to get rid of him.
"What can Su do?"
"But Su can tell you a strange piece of news."
"Why do you think that Sun Shao, the son of Bo Fu, died for no reason?"
Lu Su glanced mysteriously at Zhuge Liang, then stood up and said,
"Kongming, I still have things to do, so I won't be accompanying you. Please forgive me."
After saying that, Lu Su left in a hurry.
Zhuge Liang was dumbfounded by this.
Originally, Zhuge Liang was just asking casually. He didn't expect that Lu Su would actually leave him with such a piece of news.
As for why Lu Su left, he naturally didn't want to say anything more.
Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan gently, carefully thinking about what Lu Su meant.
Sun Shao's death …
Suddenly, Zhuge Liang's eyes lit up.
He suddenly remembered that when he was in Jingzhou, he had heard from the spies in Dong Yue Wu that Sun Ce's wife, Da Qiao, seemed to have mysteriously disappeared!
And her sister, Xiao Qiao, also mysteriously disappeared after Zhou Yu's death!
All of this combined with Sun Shao's death.
In addition, he was here to make a deal with Sun Quan.
Could it be that Sun Shao was killed by Sun Quan?!
When he thought of this, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.
When he heard about Da Qiao's disappearance, he only skimmed over it. He didn't expect that there was such a mystery hidden in it!
When he thought of this, Zhuge Liang's thoughts became more and more terrifying.
If that was really what he thought, then it could only mean one thing. Da Qiao had secretly escaped and was definitely not in Jiangdong!
If that was the case, where could she be?
At this moment, a figure flashed across Zhuge Liang's mind.
Bai Feng!
Da Qiao was most likely by Bai Feng's side! Xiao Qiao might also be by Bai Feng's side!
It wasn't that Zhuge Liang was blindly thinking, but Da Qiao had only one path to take!
Where could a weak woman like her go if she left Jiangdong?
It was obviously impossible for her to go to Liu Bei's place. At that time, Liu Bei had already formed an alliance with Sun Quan.
For Da Qiao, going to Liu Bei's place was no different from staying in Jiangdong.
It was also impossible for her to go to Cao Cao's place.
Cao Cao's notorious reputation was well known. If Da Qiao went to Cao Cao's place, she would be like a wolf in a tiger's den.
In that case, Bai Feng was the only candidate.
Bai Feng didn't seem to be interested in women. Up until now, there had been no news of him interacting with any beautiful women. He had only spread the news of him lying in a drunken stupor when he went to Fancheng to confuse the public.
Moreover, Bai Feng seemed to only care about benefits. With Da Qiao around, he could definitely deal with Sun Quan.
If Sun Shao was really killed by Sun Quan, Da Qiao would definitely seek revenge. Bai Feng had the ability to do so. If he wanted to deal with Sun Quan, Da Qiao would also be a very useful weapon.
Thinking about it this way, Da Qiao must be by Bai Feng's side!
If Da Qiao returned to Jiangdong and revealed the truth of Sun Shao's death to the public with Bai Feng's help, then Sun Quan would be finished.
After all, whether it was the officials or the people of Jiangdong, most of them supported Sun Ce. After all, almost all of Jiangdong was conquered by Sun Ce.
At this moment, Zhuge Liang finally understood why Lu Su would tell him this news.
With this information in hand, if he told Sun Quan, Sun Quan would definitely send troops to save Jingzhou!
As long as Bai Feng was dead, Da Qiao wouldn't have the chance to do so!
Although all of this was just Zhuge Liang's guess and he didn't know if it was accurate, there was no doubt that as long as he told Sun Quan this news, he would definitely send troops!
However, Zhuge Liang couldn't figure out one thing at this time.
Why did Lu Su want to help him?
Since he told him this news, he probably already thought about it.
One had to know that Lu Su didn't need to help him at all.
What benefit would it bring to Lu Su if Dong Yue Wu sent troops for free?
Zhuge Liang would never know that Lu Su had already understood his lord's thoughts.
If he acted as shrewd as Zhou Yu, it was very likely that he would attract suspicion and end up like Zhou Yu!
Thus, Lu Su had to keep him in suspense and show that he could be very stupid sometimes.
This way, he wouldn't end up like Zhou Yu.
Since ancient times, Jun Mo didn't like people like Zhuge Liang the most. Instead, he liked people like Xu Chu who were useful but sometimes not very smart.
At this time, Lu Su had already arrived at Wu Hou's residence.
"Zijing, what happened to you?"
Sun Quan couldn't help but ask when he saw Lu Su's bitter expression.
"Lord, this subject has let you down!"
