Zhang Cheng waited in the cabin until midnight, Sun Shaocai walked in with a drunken face, sat opposite Zhang Cheng, looked at Zhang Cheng and smiled: "Brother Zhong is not resting yet?" Can you negotiate with my brother-in-law? ”

Zhang Cheng glared at Sun Shao angrily: "Fengxian, you haven't visited the church yet, and you are mixed with your wife, which is a bit rude." ”

Sun Shao's mouth crooked, smiled disapprovingly, reached out to pick up the teapot on the case, but found that it was empty, he beckoned, and motioned to Shangguan Xuefei, who had just walked into the cabin, to make tea. Shangguan Xuefei glanced at him, didn't say anything, took the teapot and went out.

"Brother Zhonghe, have you figured out how to explain the two hundred elites?" Sun Shao looked at Zhang Cheng with a smile.

Zhang Chengzheng was annoyed by this, and when he heard Sun Shao ask, he pouted: "Do you still remember these two hundred people, I thought you had forgotten." ”

"If I hadn't seen Brother Zhong, I would have forgotten." Sun Shao smiled: "With Brother Zhong, what do I have to worry about." ”

"It's your business, not mine." Zhang Cheng knocked on the table angrily and funny, reminding Sun Shao who was the party.

Sun Shao shook his head disappreciatively: "Wrong, it's your business, not mine." ”

"What kind of words is that?" Zhang Cheng laughed and laughed.

"What's so hard about me?" Sun Shao spread his hands and said indifferently: "It's a big deal for me to go back to Wu County, I don't deserve to be this nominal captain, anyway, Jianye's winery is now operating normally, and I am not the same." When I go back to Wu County, I have an income of a few hundred gold a year to build a big house, and I will live like this all the time in the future, what's the problem? But you, the first time you went on a mission, you couldn't do anything, and you brought back a big trouble, are you willing to die in vain like me? That's okay, I'll give you a house for free, right next to me, and I also told you that I've picked all the places, and it's in Fuchun Mountain. Are you going or not? ”

"You...... Why are you so? Zhang Cheng laughed angrily: "Do you really plan to go back to Wu County?" ”

Sun Shao stopped smiling, his face was very serious and terrifying, his eyes were burning and staring at the flickering lights, and after a long while, he let out a long breath: "Brother Zhong, after you go back, you sue me in front of the Supreme, saying that I behave inappropriately and behave in Chengdu. ”

"Why?" Zhang Cheng was taken aback, quickly put away his smile, moved forward, stared at Sun Shao's eyes and said, "What are you worried about?" ”

"Do you need to ask?" Sun Shao sneered: "Liu Bei asked Guan Yu to marry two hundred elites, and it was clear that he was reminding the Supreme, asking him to guard against me, and to guard against me was fake, but in fact, he was guarding against Guan Yu, lest he take advantage of this marriage to collude with Jiangdong, and at the same time let the Supreme fall into a harsh name." ”

"Supreme Sage, you shouldn't be fooled."

"The supreme is a saint, but human words are terrifying." Sun Shao smiled bitterly: "Don't you think that this time the Supreme attaches too much importance to this marriage?" It is not the first time that the Sun family and Cao Liu have married, but which time has it been of such a high standard? actually asked the civil and military monarchs and ministers to congratulate together, and the dowry gifts were ridiculously large, is this an ordinary marriage? I'm afraid it's really Sun Deng's marriage, and there is no need to be so grand, right? ”

Zhang Cheng didn't speak, the question he had been hiding in his heart was picked out by Sun Shao, and he also felt that the situation was a little serious. When Sun Quan sent someone to inform Zhang Cheng, he also sent someone to give a very expensive dowry. The dowry was not issued in the name of the rebel general's mansion, but in the name of the general's mansion, and the person in charge was Shi Sun Shao, the commander of the cavalry. If it is said that Sun Deng is married, it is beyond reproach to do so, but now that Sun Shao is married, it is a little out of line with etiquette to be so grand. Sun Quan is showing people that he regards Sun Shao as his son, which is a little too abrupt compared to his previous practices. Abnormality is a demon, Zhang Cheng can't help but suspect that there is another mystery in this.

"What do you think is wrong?" Zhang Cheng thought for a long time, and then asked tentatively.

Sun Shao shook his head: "I don't know, but I have an ominous feeling." After returning to Jianye this time, I'm afraid something will happen. I don't care, it's a big deal to go back to Wu County, but it's a pity for Brother Zhong, so I hope you will sue me when you go back, and the clearer you are with me, the better. ”

Zhang Cheng stared at Sun Shao's face, wanting to see a little hypocrisy from Sun Shao's face, but Sun Shao's face only had worry, only concern, but no hint of hypocrisy. Zhang Cheng was a little grateful, Sun Shao would rather defile himself in order not to implicate him, and he was afraid that he would be embarrassed, so he took the initiative to ask him to sue, which was not easy.

"I don't have anything to fear." Zhang Chengqiang smiled: "Those two hundred people are Guan Yu's dowry to marry his daughter, and they are not what we want." ”

"Brother Zhong, don't be rash." Sun Shao shook his hand: "For the sake of the world, if you want to destroy Cao and restore the Central Plains, Sun Liu must ally ally." The Jingzhou dispute like the year before last cannot occur again, otherwise it will only be Cao Ying who will benefit in the end. Sun Liu is weak, if he cooperates sincerely, there is still a little chance, if there is more infighting, then the world will be unknown. It doesn't matter if you sacrifice me, as long as the Supreme can win the world, I will eventually be indispensable to a marquis of ten thousand households. ”

Zhang Cheng nodded, and asked again: "A piece of your heart, I will make it clear to the Supreme, and I will never wronged you." ”

Sun Shao smiled and didn't refute, what he should have said had already been said, what Zhang Cheng did was his business. He looked at the sparkling river outside and the undulating mountains in the distance, and suddenly said, "It's time to get to Lukou, right?" ”

Zhang Cheng glanced outside, attracted by the quiet night, and forgot to answer for a while. Sun Shao got up and walked out of the cabin, standing with his hands in his hands, the river is wide, far better than what later generations have seen, the waves blown by the night wind, the full moon in the water is broken into broken silver, like ten thousand silver fish jumping in the waves, Xi Xi night wind blows, making people refreshed, and the depression in the chest is swept away.

Sun Shao pursed his lips and whistled, the whistling sound came far away in the silent night sky, and after a long time, until he could no longer hear any sound except the sound of the wind, Sun Shao said with emotion: "The stars hang down and the plains are wide, and the moon swells and the river flows." Zhuangzai, this situation and this scene, I don't know if Fuchunjiang can be compared? ”

Zhang Cheng didn't say a word, he heard Sun Shao's determination from Sun Shao's howling and Sun Shao's emotion, Sun Shao's unwillingness and helplessness when he decided to give up for the sake of the overall situation, and at the same time heard Sun Shao's broad mind. He felt a little pity, Sun Shao's knowledge and talent were rare among the children of the Sun family, if he could become a leader, he would definitely become a major general, but because he was Sun Ce's son, not only could he not make contributions, but he also had to defile himself in order to survive. It's a shame. If he had slandered Sun Shao's frivolous actions before, now all that remains is sympathy and gratitude. He secretly decided to write to Sun Quan immediately, showing him Sun Shao's intentions, not to let Liu Bei Junchen's strategy succeed.

"Zhonghei, if you have a chance, you can come to Lukou." Sun Shao pointed to the riverside like a black line in the distance: "Lukou and Guan Yu are next to each other, and they can't be guarded unless they have the world in mind." Lu Hengjiang is not in good health, with you, he can be more relaxed, and maybe he can serve the Supreme for a few more years. After a while, he said: "He has served the Supreme for more than ten years, and he can't even have no heirs, so let such a feat go with the waves." ”

Zhang Cheng nodded.

Late at night, Zhang Cheng was still thinking about the words, and when he was writing to Sun Quan, Sun Shao was lying on the bed and proud of his acting skills. He knew what Zhang Cheng was doing, but he didn't know if this would dispel Sun Quan's doubts. He had been guessing what Sun Quan's purpose was for marrying him at such a high level, but he couldn't guess.

If you are not an official, it really doesn't matter if you come to him. These days in Jianye, he has seen how Sun Quan and those civil and military generals do things. Cao Ying's army is coming, and the military affairs are busy, Sun Quan himself gets up before dawn and sleeps in the middle of the night, and his hard work goes without saying. The two brothers-in-law are also too busy to go home, and it is common for the husband and wife to not see each other for ten days and a half. Not to mention Zhou Xun, in order to make meritorious contributions, he was directly stationed in the camp, and he hadn't seen him for so long since he came to Jianye, and even Zhou Yin, who had no formal military position, often couldn't find anyone. This is much harder than the little white-collar workers in the previous life, the standard gets up earlier than the chicken, sleeps later than the dog, and he doesn't have to worry about food or clothing anyway, why bother to suffer that sin? If Sun Quan is suspicious, he will lose his life if he doesn't get it right.

It's better to go to sea. Sun Shao turned over, looked at the heaven and earth that seemed to be floating with the waves in the distance, and thought to himself. If there are a few big ships, maybe you can lay down a piece of the world with Guan Feng and these two hundred elites, think that when Columbus and Magellan started their voyages, weren't they also a few broken ships, and a hundred and ten poor men who had nothing but the dream of making a fortune? Compared with them, their understanding of the world is always a little clearer than theirs, so they don't have to be lucky in the vast sea.

Guan Feng and Guan Ping stood side by side, Sun Shao's roar just now seemed to be still in his ears, although Guan Feng's face was calm, but there was a trace of loss at the corner of his mouth. Guan Ping stood with his knife in his hand, looked at his sister's serious expression, and lowered his head.

"Brother, you shouldn't have come." Guan Feng suddenly sighed and said softly: "Father is in a bad mood, you should stay by his side." ”

Guan Ping shook his head and said lightly: "I'm stupid, I can't speak, and it's useless to stay with my father." With Mr. Yin here, my father will be fine. If I don't come to see you off, how can my father rest assured. He was silent for a moment, and then said hatefully: "I don't know who came up with this idea to make a good family affair so difficult." ”

Guan Feng's eyes flashed, and he stopped talking. After a long time, he sighed.
