A group of cavalry rushed on the side of the water without hurry, all the way to the south, and a big flag with the word "Sun" fluttered in the wind.

Sun Ce looked sideways at Zhou Yu, who was always frowning, and said, "Look at your formation as if you are facing a great enemy, is it the demeanor of a young wise man?" Aha! North Guo Nan Zhou! ”

"Hugh has to make fun of it!" Zhou Yu said distressedly: "I'm thinking about how to deal with the reproach of your mother and a group of old ministers after I go back!" ”

"That's it!" Sun Ce also scratched his head and said: "In order to send troops this time, I hit my mother in a hurry, which is really against filial piety...... How good is that? ”

"You're really muddy!" Zhou Yu criticized bitterly: "Since Uncle Sun died, my aunt has endured grief and managed family affairs, during which she has been displaced several times and suffered a lot of grievances, even if you have a thousand reasons, you must take into account your aunt's feelings!" How can you be so rude? ”

"Alright, alright! I'll save it all! Sun Ce lowered his head: "You just say that the way to deal with it is!" ”

Zhou Yu was about to speak, when he suddenly heard the sound of hooves behind him, but saw a team of subordinate soldiers and horses escorting several guards of the Son of Heaven to speed up and chase after him.

"General Sun!" A guard of the Son of Heaven immediately raised his hand and signaled: "The last general is under the command of the Nangong Guard, and he is specially ordered by the Son of Heaven to come to deliver the decree!" ”

"What?" Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were both startled, and hurriedly dismounted: "We will wait to receive the order, and respectfully ask Your Majesty Sheng'an!" ”

The two exchanged a look, and both saw each other's look of surprise. A few days ago, Nanying just mentioned the matter of knighthood, and today a messenger from the Son of Heaven came to pass the edict, which is really vigorous. At the same time, the two also felt the power of Nan Ying as an auxiliary imperial uncle and general.

"General Sun, it's all your own family, you're welcome!" That day, the guard lowered his voice and blinked: "The last general has also served under the Southern Eagle General before, hehe!" You get the idea, right? ”

"Oh? What a coincidence! Sun Ce couldn't help but be surprised and delighted, and immediately changed his tone: "This brother's surname? Forgive the little brother's eyes, rude and rude! ”

"The last general, Hu Lie, was previously Sima of the Imperial Capital City Gate, and he was still the old department of General Xu Huang!" The man smiled slightly: "The last general is fortunate, not only did he follow the general when he defended the imperial capital, but later when the general returned to the imperial capital from the Bohai Sea, in order to help the last general get angry, he also whipped the captain of Xiyuan...... However, I heard that General Sun happened to return to Changsha at that time, but he missed it! ”

"Not bad, not bad! I already knew about it! Sun Ce was even more overjoyed: "It's really my own family!" Brother Hu, I've admired my name for a long time! ”

"General Sun is polite! I'll tell you the truth! Hu Lie also smiled: "Originally, this errand of the decree was not related to the Nangong Guardian Order at all, and it should be handled by the Yellow Gate!" It's just that the general specially told Lord Xun You through the Flying Eagle that the people in the Yellow Gate were so pampered that they couldn't run the mountain road at night, and they couldn't catch up with General Sun's footsteps back to Jiangdong, so the last general came all the way to ......"

As he spoke, he held the holy decree above his head with both hands: "That is, before General Sun rushes back to Jiangdong, this decree must be issued to you!" General Sun, hurry up and take the order! ”

"Oh? It's really hard Brother Hu! Chen Yangzhou stabbed Shi Sun Ce, and received His Majesty's grace! Sun Ce didn't dare to slack off in his hand, and took it respectfully, but there was a doubt in his heart, is there such a hurry? Why did his uncle decree before he rushed back to Koto?

"Feng Zhouyu is the Taishou of Jiangxia, and the Marquis of Xunyang Pavilion ...... Posthumously crowned Sun Jian as the Marquis of Wu, and Sun Zi Ce inherited his father? And so many rewards! Zhou Yu looked at Sun Ce's slowly unfolding edict of the Son of Heaven, and couldn't help but exclaim.

"Congratulations to General Sun! No, congratulations to Wu Hou! Hu Lie smiled and said: "Please Wu Hou slow down the march, there are still gold silk and jade rewarded by the Son of Heaven and the war horse grain and grass given by the general behind the last general, and they are speeding up to chase and meet!" ”

"It's wonderful! But...... Didn't you say that Wu Chenghou was sealed? Sun Ce and Zhou Yu looked at each other. Although Wuhou and Wucheng Hou are both county marquises, there seems to be no difference. However, Wucheng is sparsely populated and far less rich than Wu County, not to mention that this Wu County is still the place where Wu County is governed, with a deep city and a dense population. As the key point of Jiangdong, Wu County once the foundation is firmly established, it will choke the vast area of Huiji County, and its importance is self-evident.

Not only that, Sun Ce has just defeated Yan Baihu, a local marshal who has been entrenched in Wu County for a long time, and the soldiers and the people have not yet fully returned to their hearts.

"The general has good intentions!" Zhou Yu quickly understood, and couldn't help but sigh long: "Ace! The general asked the Son of Heaven to posthumously crown Uncle Sun as Marquis of Wu, and even let you inherit your father's title, which is obviously to strengthen the momentum of your Sun family! Since then, your Sun family has been as stable as Mount Tai in Jiangdong! ”

"Nope! And that's not all! My uncle is trying to ease my relationship with my mother and subordinates! Sun Ce felt Nanying's care, and tightly pinched the yellow silk in his hand, and his eyes were red.

"Someone! Immediately rushed back in the starry night and reported the great news of this day to the lady and the people! Zhou Yu was so quick to think that he immediately ordered: "At the same time, someone will step up the repair of the Marquis Wu's mansion in Wu County...... The day Marquis Wu was ordered to return to the city was the time when the soldiers of the three armies and the people of the city went out of the city to greet each other! ”

"Not bad!" Sun Ce also understood and raised his voice: "At that time, the general will personally reward the three armies and celebrate with the soldiers and civilians of the city!" ”

The horn is long, the drums are ringing in unison, and outside the north gate of Wu County, thousands of Jiangdong soldiers and nearly 10,000 people are looking forward to it.

Under the umbrella cover of Qingluo, a middle-aged beautiful woman was staring intently at the official road in the distance. But seeing that although she is over forty years old, her charm has not diminished, and her long body is jade, you can still imagine the peerless elegance of her youth.

This daughter is Sun Jian's widowed wife, Sun Ce's biological mother, and Mrs. Wu of Jiangdong, who was known for her talent and appearance.

There are still several teenagers under the umbrella, who are obviously Sun Ce's younger brothers. Outside the umbrella, there are dozens of Wenchen military generals standing quietly waiting for each other, not only Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Huang Gai, and Zu Mao, the four generals who followed Sun Jian's expedition against the Yellow Turban, are all there, but Zhu Zhi, Hengjie, Xu Kun and others who have had a relationship with Nanying are also impressively listed. It's just that Zhu Zhi relied on the same profound qualifications, not only did he have meritorious service in rescuing Mrs. Wu, but also made the first contribution in pacifying Xu Gong and Yan Baihu, and his position was already ahead of Cheng Pu and Han Dang.

"Madame! You've been waiting for an hour, and according to the scout's rumors, it still takes at least half an hour for the lord to arrive, do you need to go back to the car and rest first? Zhu Zhi looked up at the sun that was about to overhead, and whispered to Mrs. Wu: "The sons are still young, but I'm afraid they are a little tired!" ”

"Thank you Junli for your kindness!" Mrs. Wu turned around slightly, revealing half of her infinitely beautiful jade face: "However, many soldiers and people are here, how can the wife of the Sun family be lazy?" What's more, Ce'er has already won the ancestor before the weak crown, and the mother is also honored! It's time to wait a little longer to show your sincerity! ”

"What my mother said is very true!" A thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy beside Mrs. Wu also smiled: "My father is a hero in the world, and my eldest brother is also a hero today. I have lost the prestige of my father and brother! ”

"Gongzi Quan is really a young hero!" Zhu Zhi looked at the young man with a soft gaze, full of satisfaction and appreciation: "In a few years, it will definitely become famous all over the world, no less than Brother Jian and the master of the strategy!" ”

"That's right!" Mrs. Wu also nodded her head frequently rarely, revealing a look of relief, and she said in a low voice: "If you want to say that you are brave and strong, Ce'er and his father have the same temper, and there will be no problem in the future to conquer the east and the west, and expand the territory, and the name of Quan'er is young and old, and the name of benevolence, righteousness and generosity has long been gone......"

"There are people who come before the Lord!" A majestic voice came in just right: "The lord has the right son to assist him in the future, and he can achieve a great cause of both civil and military affairs!" ”

Mrs. Wu turned her eyes to look at Cheng Pu, who was smiling, and said with a smile: "The words of virtue are true!" ”

The rest of the civil and military ministers pondered the words of several people, and nodded yes one after another. Just as she was talking and laughing, suddenly Mrs. Wu's expression froze, and her eyes fell on the people not far away......

Originally, there were nearly 10,000 people who greeted each other, which can be described as a sea of people, shoulder to shoulder. And I don't know when the crowd has thinned out a lot, and as far as the eye can see, you can still see some people quietly retreating in the middle of the exchange.

"What's going on? Even the old man and the adults can wait, but they can't wait? Mrs. Wu was angry in her heart, and couldn't help but say sharply: "Send someone to take a look!" ”

The civil and military ministers also beat the drum in their hearts, and secretly assigned their subordinates to restrain the people.

Soon, the guard responded with an embarrassed face: "Madame, ladies and gentlemen! It's not that the people are impatient to wait, but there are rumors that Mr. Yu Ji has come from afar and will enter the city through the west gate, so many people have gone to greet ......"

As soon as he heard his words, not only the hearts of the civil and military ministers were relieved, but Mrs. Wu was also thawed, but she said happily: "I see, it is actually the Immortal Master who has come here!" ”

When she said this, she hesitated and said: "It stands to reason that the old body should also greet it in person, but Ce'er is coming, and the joy of the mother and son meeting is also human nature, and I don't think the immortal master will be to blame!" ”

Several Jiangdong civil and military officers praised the goodness together, and they even showed that they should be like this, and some even immediately apologized: "If the lady is difficult to separate, can you allow the minister to retire?" ”

The implication is that there is also the heart to go to meet him.

"Wait!" A sword-eyed young general couldn't help but say angrily: "Have you forgotten your colleagues? We're here to welcome you! Everyone actually abandoned the lord in order to welcome a folk warlock, is this not just putting the cart before the horse? It's just disrespectful! ”

The ministers looked at each other, and soon someone sneered: "General Tai Shici has just come to Jiangdong, and he is not familiar with the local customs, which is also understandable!" ”

Even Mrs. Wu sneered slightly: "Ziyi is cautious! Do you know what kind of character this Yu Ji Immortal Master is? ”

"Although the last general has only been in Yangzhou for more than a year, there have been some rumors!" That young general was the old subordinate of Liu Xuan, the former assassin of Yangzhou, and the new general under Sun Ce's account, Tai Shici, who was once famous in Beihai.

He sneered: "I heard that this Yu Ji is just a warlock in the rivers and lakes, relying on a little water to cure diseases, he has been swaggering and deceiving in Jiangdong for a long time, but I don't know what kind of demagogic tricks he has used, and he has deceived many people to believe and worship him!" Judging from the end of the general, this person has been spreading the so-called "Taiping Sutra" for a long time, and he must be the remnants of the Yellow Turban! ”

Hearing him denounce and refute it like this, not only Mrs. Wu's Yurong turned cold, but several civil officials from the scholar clan trembled with anger.

"General Taishi, in front of Madame, are you a little too presumptuous!" Without waiting for the crowd to attack, he heard Cheng Pu say sharply: "Do you know? At that time, Mrs. took refuge all the way through Qu'a and Jiujiang, and was infected with an epidemic disease on the way, and it was Mr. Yu Ji who removed Mrs. Miao! You are so critical of it, but where do you put your wife? ”

He reprimanded in his mouth, but secretly gave Tai Shici a look.

"What? I don't know what this doom is! Tai Shi Ci was taken aback, and said: "If you don't say anything, please ask Mrs. for forgiveness!" ”

"Mother! General Taishi is not a person from Jiangdong, so how can he know about the righteous deeds of Immortal Master? The young man Sun Quan also smiled and said: "When General Taishi was in Beihai, he was famous for fighting against the Yellow Turban, so he would have a misunderstanding of Master Yu, who also practiced the Taiping Sutra. As the so-called clear ones are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid, I believe that as long as time passes, General Taishi will definitely eliminate misunderstandings! ”

"That's it! He who does not know is not guilty! Mrs. Wu's face gradually softened, she sighed, and finally couldn't help but say to Tai Shi Ci again: "Su Zhiziyi has a bold temperament and speaks straightforwardly, but he must be more cautious in his words and deeds!" Do you know how many soldiers and civilians in the Jiangdong counties have received the grace of the immortal master's rescue? If you criticize it again, I'm afraid that you will become the target of everyone! ”

Tai Shi Ci didn't dare to argue anymore, but when he saw that his colleagues had resigned one after another, he lowered his head and clenched his fists fiercely.

Zhu Zhi saw everything in his eyes, opened his mouth several times, and finally turned a thousand words into a silent sigh, and always remained silent.

Time passed little by little in an awkward atmosphere.

"Report!" In the midst of the sand and dust rolling in the distance, a knight came like a whirlwind and jumped down in front of Mrs. Wu.

"But is Ce'er about to arrive?" Mrs. Wu saw that this knight was the knight of the family who she had personally sent to greet her, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Look at this hour, but it should have arrived!" ”

"Big things are wrong! Madam! The knight tore off the mask covering the sand and dust, revealing a frightened face: "Originally, the lord was already coming, but suddenly I didn't know how to learn the news that Yu Ji Immortal Master would enter Wu from the west gate, and the soldiers and civilians at the north gate went to greet him, and the lord was furious on the spot...... Him, he! ”

"What happened to him?" Mrs. Wu was taken aback, and her voice trembled.

"In a fit of rage, the lord has turned to the west gate!" The knight barely controlled his emotions, but he lowered his head, and no longer dared to meet Mrs. Wu's eyes: "The lord also said that Yu Ji's demon path is confusing, and it can actually make many soldiers and civilians ignore the courtesy of the lord and minister, and it will definitely bring a monstrous disaster to Jiangdong in the future!" He, he will definitely kill that demon Dao to prevent future troubles! ”

"What?" Mrs. Wu's face turned pale in an instant, and she couldn't help but take a step back, and the ministers around her were also stunned.

"Quick! Stop him! Mrs. Wu held her heart in one hand and suddenly screamed: "If he really killed Yu Ji, how can the old man see the world?" My grandson's ...... My grandson's family will also cut themselves off from Jiangdong's fathers! ”

"Nope! And that's not all! On Mrs. Wu's side, the young man Sun Quan clenched his fists tremblingly, and said in an inaudible voice: "This will also ruin the foundation that my Sun family has worked so hard to lay in Jiangdong!" ”
