At the same time, in Wu Hou's residence.
Sun Quan's face was covered in a layer of gloom.
The Ministers below him remained silent, afraid that they would say something wrong and bring disaster to the innocent bystanders.
After a long while, Sun Quan finally spoke in a low voice.
"Have you found him?"
Zhang Zhao hurriedly stood up and said,
"My Lord, all the soldiers are currently searching for him in Yuzhang. They've already searched the entire city, but …"
"Speak!"
Sun Quan was already somewhat angry.
Zhang Zhao didn't know what to say for a moment.
If he told Sun Quan now, he wouldn't be able to find any trace of Bai Feng, right?
Not even a strand of Bai Feng's hair could be found, let alone his men!
Moreover, he had just received news that a young man from one of his branches had encountered Shanyue men and died because of this!
However, although this matter made Zhang Zhao extremely angry, he couldn't directly tell His Majesty.
If he did, wouldn't it be the same as telling Sun Quan how bad this search was? Wouldn't it cause his family to suffer the pain of losing a son?
How could Zhang Zhao not know that Sun Quan was currently thinking of suppressing the surrounding landowning households? Wouldn't he be walking right into the muzzle of a gun by doing this?
At this moment, Lu Su hurriedly stepped forward to mediate the situation.
"Wu Hou, there's something that I must say."
"The matter of Bai Feng coming to Jiangdong is nothing more than a rumor."
"If I may be so bold as to guess, Bai Feng might have sensed that our army is planning to attack the foreign tribes in the south and used this tactic to disrupt our plans."
"Bai Feng is no stranger to this kind of thing."
Upon hearing Lu Su's words, the Ministers immediately broke out into a discussion.
"Lord Zijing is right!"
"That Bai Feng is crafty and cunning. This isn't the first time he's used such despicable means!"
"Almost everyone in Liu Bei's residence knows Bai Feng. How could he suddenly cross Jingzhou and come to Jiangdong without anyone noticing?"
Sun Quan couldn't help but become suspicious as the ministers discussed animatedly.
Could it be nothing more than a rumor?
It seemed unlikely that Bai Feng wanted to cross Jingzhou and come to Jiangdong.
Moreover, Bai Feng was now in Hanzhong!
Hanzhong was so far away from Jiangdong that it almost crossed the entire Jingzhou.
If Liu Bei could not find out, why not just start a war in Jingzhou? Why did he have to come to Jiangdong?
Moreover, what was his motive for coming to Jiangdong?
How could he not be discovered when he brought an army to Jiangdong?
Thinking, Sun Sun Quan's face became more and more?
Who would have thought that Bai Feng would turn him into such a state?
Just hearing his name was enough to make him so nervous.
This time, Sun Quan suddenly felt like he had been played by Bai Feng.
At this moment, Lu Su continued.
"My Lord, I'd like to say that we shouldn't pay attention to this rumor anymore. We should send our troops to attack Shanyue as soon as possible!"
Zhang Zhao also hurriedly stood up and said.
"This old subject agrees! That Shanyue has done all kinds of evil and has humiliated the people of Jiangdong. "
"We can't just sit around and wait for our deaths!"
Zhang Zhao's words were full of selfishness.
Zhang Zhao was furious when he thought about how his family's descendants had been killed by that Shanyue.
However, Zhang Zhao couldn't directly vent his anger on Ling Tong and Tai Shici.
Although Ling Tong and Tai Shici weren't high-ranking officials, their status in Jiangdong was still high enough.
Moreover, Sun Quan was very fond of these two generals.
In addition, Sun Quan had been thinking of ways to suppress the landowning clans recently. Zhang Zhao didn't dare to voice his anger.
"Alright, we'll do as Zijing says."
"Remember, we have to end the battle quickly. We have to defeat Shanyue as soon as possible!"
Sun Quan waved his hand and gestured for the Ministers to leave.
Lu Su heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this.
If Sun Quan still insisted on looking for Bai Feng, it would be a big problem.
If they delayed for too long and Cao Cao suddenly launched a surprise attack, they would have no chance in the future.
By then, even if they wanted to find a way out, they wouldn't have a chance.
Fortunately, Sun Quan was still relatively rational.
Just as Lu Su was about to go and give the order, someone called out to him from behind.
"Zijing, Zijing!"
Hearing this voice, Lu Su couldn't help but look back in confusion.
"Lord Zibu? Lord Zi Gang? "
"You guys are …"
Before Lu Su could finish, the two of them hurried over.
Zhang Zhao said in a low voice.
"Zijing, let's talk in private."
Just like that, Lu Su followed the two of them to the study of the Zhang Estate.
"Sirs, what is the matter? Please speak frankly."
"This one really does have something to do."
Lu Su couldn't help but smile bitterly.
What are these two old fellows up to?
Wu Hou had clearly said that he had to issue the order as soon as possible in the Imperial Court.
These two fellows usually didn't interact with him, so why were they suddenly acting so crazy?
Before Lu Su could finish criticizing them, Zhang Zhao spoke with an extremely ugly expression.
"Zijing, do you know that a descendant of my family was cruelly murdered in Yuzhang?
"I'll only say this to you."
"We can't tell Wu Hou about this either!
"Wu Hou is currently dissatisfied with the landowning clans. Zijing, you know this as well.
"Now, we can only ask you for help."
Lu Su was dumbfounded.
"But … if you tell this one, there's nothing this one can do."
Zhang Zhao waved his hand.
"No, no, no. Zijing, you're the Viceroy now.
"We just hope that you can help us investigate what's going on."
"I suspect that Ling Tong and Tai Shici are hiding something. Chen-er is so smart. Why didn't he run when he saw Shanyue?
"Therefore, I suspect that it is very likely that he was framed!"
Hearing this, Lu Su's expression immediately turned serious.
"Lord Zibu, you can't say such things!
"Ling Tong and Tai Shici have no grudge against you. Why would they frame Young Master?"
Zhang Zhao said helplessly.
"We also want to think so, but this is really too strange.
"We can't just keep tolerating it, can we?
"If we do, won't our Family Zhang be criticized by others?
"Zijing, please help us!"
With that, Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong bowed to Lu Su.
Lu Su hurriedly waved his hand.
"The two of you, please calm down!
"This one will do his best. Please rise first."
"How can Zijing deserve such respect from the two elders?"
Hearing this, Zhang Zhao immediately smiled and said,
"Then thank you, Zijing!"
Lu Su sighed helplessly, flicked his sleeves and left.
Lu Su truly didn't want to get involved in this matter. After all, Lu Su didn't want to offend anyone.
But Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong were already threatening him. Lu Su couldn't do anything about it.
