It was dark, and the Wuhou Mansion returned to silence.

Sun Ce sat alone in the room, carefully applying a layer of ointment to his hands. I saw that on the phalanx on the back of his hand, there were slight signs of redness and swelling.

Tuk tuk tuk - knocking on the door.

"Who!"

"Bo Fu, it's me."

Sun Ce got up and walked to the door and pulled the door open.

Zhou Yu stood outside the door and gave a slight salute.

The two are the same year, but in terms of birth month, Sun Ce is older than Zhou Yu, so he is the elder brother.

He was not polite to Zhou Yu, turned around and sat down again. Zhou Yu walked into the room, his nose twitching slightly, and his brows furrowed.

"Bo Fu, are you feeling unwell?"

"Heh, I'm very strong, how can I feel uncomfortable?"

"Why is it so medical?"

Sun Ce pointed to the ointment on the bookcase, and then stretched out his hand.

"Today, I said that I had a punch with Xun Xiuruo's boy. At the time, I didn't feel anything, but at dinner, I noticed that my palms were a little uncomfortable. ”

With the light, Zhou Yu clearly saw the redness and swelling on the back of Sun Ce's hand.

"That kid is so powerful?"

Zhou Yu couldn't help but be a little surprised. How strong Sun Ce's skills are, he knows very well in his heart. When the two got acquainted at the age of fifteen, they waited for more than a dozen strong men, and they were not Sun Ce's opponents. After nearly ten years of fighting, Sun Ce's martial arts have become more and more sophisticated, and he has reached the level of a super-first-class general. At least in Zhou Yu's opinion, there are only a handful of people in the world who can meet Sun Ce. Unexpectedly, I was actually injured today.

Sun Ce's sword eyebrows twisted into a ball and shook his head.

"That Xun Peng's skills are a little strange, and his mastery of power is almost perfect. But to say that it can hurt me, it's not likely. In many respects, it is only second-rate...... But as you can see, that kid did hurt me. But he won't be too happy. My punch at least messed up his blood, and in a few days, it is estimated that he will not be able to fight again. ”

Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

"What the hell is going on today?"

"Huh?"

"I don't know much about Xun Xiuruo's boy.

He is good at poetry, and he was on the bank of Zhenze before, and he was given a que of seven words. His poems are clear and beautiful, giving people the feeling that he is not the kind of arrogant person. ”

"Ha, it should be good to be praised by Gongjin, and think about that poem.

I asked Ah Xiang, and according to Ah Xiang, Han Zong had a conflict with him in Dantu before, and Xun Peng once said that there was no one in Jiangdong. But I guess it's Han Zong's kid who can't afford to lose, so he talks nonsense and tells right and wrong. I have ordered Yu Zhongxiang to take over the thief Cao, and let Han Zong go to Shanyin to join He Bomiao to conquer Shanyue...... When the husband is alive, he should stand up to the sky. Don't be afraid of losing, but you can follow the villain's business, tell right and wrong, and you are definitely not a kind person. The old general Yigong was a hero, but he was defeated by Han Ziheng. ”

Sun Ce sighed, quite hating that iron does not become steel.

After Zhou Yu was silent for a moment, he said softly, "Why did Han Ziheng go to Dantu?" ”

"Well, I don't really know that. During this time, I was busy with the imperial court's envoys, and I was preparing to seize Danyang. Presumably you also know that Zu Lang was provoked by Yuan Shu and intended to be my enemy. There is also Tai Shici entrenched in Wuhu, which is my confidant.

If Danyang is not allowed, it is difficult for Jiangdong to have Ning.

It's just that...... Zu Lang sits in Danyang and is quite prestigious; Tai Shi Ci is also a brave person, and no one is invincible. These two must be pacified as soon as possible, otherwise there will be trouble. Han Zong is a thief from Wu County, and he went to Dantu to catch thieves, and I haven't asked about it yet. What's the matter, Gong Jin didn't hear something? You don't say I don't think I think anything, what you just said...... I'm weird. ”

Zhou Yu fell silent.

And Sun Ce was keenly aware that Zhou Yu seemed to have something unspeakable.

"Gong Jin, what's going on?"

"I ...... When passing through Yangxian, Zhongmou told me about something. ”

"What's the matter?"

"This, I said, don't be angry."

Sun Ce felt even more uncomfortable, and his face revealed a solemn color.

"Gongjin, Hugh has to swallow and vomit, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

Zhou Yu sighed and whispered in Sun Ce's ear. Sun Ce's face gradually turned from solemn to iron-blue, his eyes widened, his hands clenched into fists, and suddenly slammed on the bookcase.

"Can you do such a thing?"

"Bo Fu, control your anger!"

Sun Ce stood up and wandered around the room.

After a while, he roared in a low voice: "Li Yifeng stimulates poison, hurts the heavens, hurts the heavens...... If this matter spreads, what face will my Sun clan have in Jiangdong. I am disgusted when I hear such things, how can Zhongmou do this? ”

Zhou Yu didn't speak, just looked at Sun Ce quietly.

"That'...... Have you ever caught that man? ”

"Never."

"Han Ziheng is incompetent!"

Sun Ce was so angry that he raised his foot and kicked over the bookcase.

The maid outside the door hurriedly opened the door, "Wu Hou, what happened?" ”

"Get out!"

Sun Ce shouted: "Pass the order, without my order, no one is allowed to approach within thirty steps." ”

The maid was so frightened that she hurriedly closed the door and hurried away.

Sun Ce closed his eyes, pondered for a moment and asked, "So, is Xun Xiuruo taking in the thief?" ”

"Not necessarily." Zhou Yu said softly: "Zibu said that he and Bohai had carefully checked and counted later, and no trace of the thief was found. And along the way, Zibu has been paying attention to Xun Xiuruo. You also know that Xun Xiuruo's surname is arrogant, and he has nothing to do with Wang Jingxing. Even the meals are arranged by themselves...... Except for the ten generals around him, that is, Xun Peng and Xun Lan, there has been neither an increase in the number nor a decrease in the number of people. So it's really hard to say, it was Xun Xiuruo who left the thief. ”

"Who is Xun Lan?"

"It's Xun Xiuruo's pilot.

It is said that Xun Lan's skills are also very smart, and I am afraid that she is still above Xun Peng. ”

"Yingchuan Xun's family, it's not idle."

Sun Ce calmed down and sat down slowly.

Zhou Yu arrived at a glass of wine and handed it to Sun Ce.

"Bo Fu, you don't have to blame Zhong Mou...... He's also thinking about you.

His worries were not unfounded. The Jiangdong Shi clan has many parts, and if they can't use it for themselves, sooner or later they will become a disaster. The Lu family and the Gu family are not only the Wu County clan, but also the representatives of the Jiangdong clan. If both of these are in-laws, the harm is really not small. ”

Sun Ce raised his head and said in a cruel voice: "What about the Jiangdong Shi Clan?

If you dare to make trouble, I will destroy him all over the house. It's not that I haven't killed the Lu family, am I still afraid of them? ”

"O Bo Fu, you temper...... That's right, you can kill the Lu family and kill the Gu family. But have you ever thought about it, Zhu Zhi, Quan Rou, Lu Fan, He Qi, that is not a child of the Shi family? Can you kill them all? Zhongmou is not wrong in this point, it is the best policy to divide and co-opt, make it available to you, and then slowly eat away at its parts. Bo Fu, you have to control your temper. ”

If someone else said this, Sun Ce would have blasted out with a punch earlier.

But when Zhou Yu said this, Sun Ce had to think about it seriously...... "Then what do you say?" ”

"Xun Xiuruo must continue to monitor, and at the same time secretly order Bohai to search closely from Dantu. If the thief hadn't been taken in by Xun Xiuruo, he would have been hiding near the Dantu. However, Bohai is afraid that he is a little weak, but he can order a careful person to go and cooperate with Bohai.

By the way, Zijing, you've seen it too.

He happened to be going to Qu'a to straighten out the family business, so he might as well give him a secret order to assist Bohai.

Zijing is bold and careful, and he is known for his strategy, and he can be entrusted with big things...... With him to help Bohai, you don't have to worry about it anymore. ”

Sun Ce hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded in agreement.

He knew Lu Su, after all, he was also working under Yuan Shu at the beginning, and the Lu family in Dongcheng was the largest grain merchant in Huainan, how could he not know? However, he and Lu Su are not familiar with each other, but since Zhou Yu recommended him, Sun Ce is also happy to be a favor.

"Since this is the case, I will be wronged Zijing to be the Sima of the Bohai Alternative Department for the time being, what do you think?"

"Good!"

Zhou Yu nodded in agreement.

At this time, the voice of the servant girl came from outside the door, "Wu Hou, the old lady invited you over, saying that there is something to discuss with you." ”

"Hmm...... It must be Ah Xiang, who complained to her mother again. ”

Sun Ce smiled bitterly and stood up.

And Zhou Yu also got up and walked out of the room with Sun Ce.

"Bo Fu, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not."

"You say."

"You're a little too arrogant with Xiao Xiang."

"Huh?"

"I know, you are a filial son. The old lady is also a gentle surname, and she usually treats you very well. But Xiaoxiang is not used to being a female celebrity like this, but instead dances with knives and guns all day long, I am afraid that it will not be a system. Now that you have been canonized as Marquis Wu, you should pay more attention to it, don't be laughed at. ”

Sun Ce thought about it and thought so.

"That's it, after I pacify Danyang, I will definitely discipline Ah Xiang well."

"One more thing......"

"Gong Jin, you are instigating today."

"It's business!" Zhou Yu said: "My sister-in-law is gone, and you feel uncomfortable. But in the past few years, Shao'er has grown up and needs someone to teach. You're busy fighting all day, and you always need someone to take care of your family. Could it be that you have been bothering the old lady? ”

"This ......"

Sun Ce's cheeks were slightly red, revealing a little embarrassment.

"Later, later."

After saying that, he walked away in embarrassment.

Zhou Yu looked at Sun Ce's back and shook his head helplessly.

——————————————————————————Poof!

Cao Peng sat in the room and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Ah Fu, are you okay?"

Xia Houlan looked at him nervously, with a look of concern.

After returning to the inn, Cao Peng felt a little unwell. He knew that he had caused some damage by punching Sun Ce in Wuhou Mansion. On the surface, Cao Peng is only slightly inferior. But Cao Peng himself understood that he had used all his strength, but Sun Ce still had stamina. This guy's strength is too great, no wonder he is called the little overlord of Jiangdong. The so-called one force to ten meetings, although Cao Peng is proficient in all kinds of strength, but in the face of absolute power, skills are not omnipotent. At least from Lu Bu and Dian Wei in the early days to Sun Ce today. They may not have the skills of Cao Peng's strength, but they can still defeat him easily.

Decade...... That's the ten-year gap.

Cao Peng suddenly laughed, I don't know if Sun Ce can survive for ten years?

"Ziyou, I'm fine...... Just held his breath, spit out this mouthful of blood, and it was fine. ”

"That's good."

Xiahou Lan breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the couch and sat down.

"This Sun Bofu, is it really that powerful?"

"Compared to you and me, it's naturally powerful. But ......," Cao Peng thought for a while, "if you fight with Lu Bu or Dian Wei, I'm afraid it's still slightly inferior." He and Uncle Xu are probably in between, but if the two want to separate the winner, it will take at least 100 rounds. Under Cao Gong's account, there should not be too many people who can compete with Sun Bofu. In addition to Uncle Dian and Uncle Xu, General Xiahou can compete with him. ”

"I don't know what will happen if he fights with Zilong?"

"Well, it's hard to say."

One is a victorious general, who is said to have never tasted defeat in his life; A little overlord in Jiangdong, which made Cao Ying feel jealous of it.

It's really hard to say who these two people will be able to win, after all, they haven't fought each other, and it's hard for Cao Peng to say clearly.

Unless, Sun Ce can stay alive, and sooner or later he will be able to fight Zhao Yun. But the question is, can Cao Ying tolerate Sun Ce to live?

The two brothers, Sun Ce and Sun Quan, have both been praised by Cao Ying.

For example, Sun Ce, Cao Ying praised him as 'lions can't compete with him'; For Sun Quan, Cao Ying used the praise of 'giving birth to a son should be like Sun Zhongmou'. On the surface, it doesn't seem to make much difference. But if you think about it carefully, you will find that Cao Ying's fear of Sun Ce is far better than that of Sun Quan.

'Lions can't compete with them', that is to put Sun Ce in an equal position.

'Giving birth to a son should be like Sun Zhongmou', but Sun Quan is regarded as a junior. This can be seen from the words of Cao Ying and Liu Bei Qingmei cooking wine and talking about heroes later. In Cao Ying's eyes, Sun Quan was only able to gain a foothold in Jiangdong by relying on the shadow of his father and brother.

Of course, it was this contempt that made Cao Ying defeat in Chibi.

Cao Peng sat on the couch and closed his eyes to recuperate.

And Xia Houlan didn't bother, and lay down to rest.

In his mind, Sun Ce's fist and Lu Bu's earth-shattering halberd kept coming to mind.

Cao Peng had a vague realization, and he felt as if he had begun to touch the door of a first-class general. What is the difference between a first-class military general and a super-first-class military general? In fact, Cao Peng has been thinking about this issue since the war with Lu Bu.

At this point, he seemed to understand.

The difference is in one word: potential!

Think about Lu Bu's earth-shattering momentum and look at the world.

Sun Ce has the courage of a bully, and he bombarded with one punch, making it difficult for Cao Peng to dodge.

The reason for this result is that the word 'potential' exists. But how can you have that kind of 'potential', Cao Peng really can't say.

At this time, I heard 'tuk tuk' and someone knocked on the door.

"Ah Fu, can you rest?"

It's Xun Yan!

Cao Peng opened his eyes, got up and walked to the door, and opened the door.

"Sir, haven't you rested yet?"

Xun Yan showed a gentle smile, looked at Xiahou Lan who was standing behind Cao Peng, and then Wen Yan asked, "How is it, do you feel better?" ”

"Well, it's fine."

"Come to my study...... Ziyou, I'm tired of waiting at the door. ”

"Whoa!"

Xia Houlan hurriedly put on her clothes and walked out of the door, while Cao Peng followed Xun Yan all the way to the study.

"Sir, is there anything you have to say at such a late hour?"

Xun Yan hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "I think you also know that there is one more thing about my mission to Jiangdong this time. Originally, I shouldn't have told you this. But after thinking about it, I think I should make it clear to you, so as not to cause another incident in the end. ”

When Cao Peng heard this, he couldn't help but feel shocked, and hurriedly knelt on the mat.

"Please sir, give me some advice!"
