The sun of Panyu fell nearly half an hour later than Jianye's, the dinner in the Taishou Mansion began to eat from dawn, and it was eaten until it was dark, and there were laughter and laughter from time to time, obviously the guests and hosts talked very happily, but only Zhuge Ke sat in the front hall hungry and angry, not even a sip of tea, he didn't dare to go, he could only hold on, in his life that has been very smooth, this is the most difficult one in history.

When it was dark, a little maid came, lit a lamp for him, and then gave him a glass of water, looked at him with pity, and left without saying a word. Zhuge Ke looked at the glass of clear water, tears almost fell, he never thought that a glass of water was so precious. Sun Shao is too ruthless, this is the height of summer, Panyu is so hot that it is to death, the front hall is very hot, and he is sweating when he doesn't move, but he doesn't even give him saliva.

I don't know how long I waited, Zhuge Ke finally saw an acquaintance, Shen Xuan walked in from outside with his hands behind his back, followed by two entourage, carrying a lot of baggage in his hands, bulging, I don't know what to pack.

"Yuan Xun, why are you here?" Shen Xuan was very surprised when he saw Zhuge Ke. On the way back, he talked to Zhuge Ke a few times, and he liked this quick-thinking teenager very much.

Zhuge Ke quietly moved his already numb legs, leaned over and said with a smile: "The general has something to inquire about, and Ke is ordered to wait here." ”

Shen Xuan's eyes rolled, and he immediately understood that Sun Shao was making him worse. He glanced at Zhuge Ke, waved his hand to let the entourage step aside, and reached out to help Zhuge Ke up, Zhuge Ke's legs were already unconscious, staggering, and almost fell. Shen Xuan supported him hard, looked at his teeth clenched because of persistence, and said with a smile: "You hate the general, right?" ”

Zhuge Ke twitched his cheeks, of course he hated it, but he couldn't say that Shen Xuan was Sun Shao's long history, and the words were going to reach Sun Shao's ears, who knew what would happen? He shook his head and forced a smile: "How dare Ke hate the general." ”

"It's right if you don't hate." Shen Xuan said solemnly: "General, this is to protect you." ”

Zhuge Ke was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked up at Shen Xuan, Shen Xuan's eyes were calm and peaceful, and he couldn't see any hypocrisy, he patted Zhuge Ke's shoulder: "You are a smart person, you can figure it out without me being too clear." Don't wait, the general won't see you today. He has no official business, he must be gossiping with his wife. ”

"But ......" Zhuge Ke was confused.

"Okay, don't worry, the general, I'll talk about it, you go back and rest first." Shen Xuan clapped his hands and called his entourage: "Send Zhuge Jun back to the post house." ”

"Whoa." The two attendants responded expressionlessly, took over Zhuge Ke, who couldn't walk, and set him up out of the Taishou Mansion. Zhuge Ke sat in his car all the time and didn't speak, and after a long while, he suddenly realized that he patted his thigh lightly: "I see." ”

That's right, Sun Quan and Sun Shao are not in harmony with each other and are wary of each other, this is obvious, Sun Quan sent him to escort Sun Shangxiang to Panyu, isn't it because he is at ease with Zhuge Ke, if Sun Shao is good to him, then Sun Quan can still rest assured? Sun Shao did this for his future. Alas, he is really to blame, and he has misunderstood the gentleman. This time the hardship is worth it, and when I go back and tell Sun Quanyi, I will definitely be appointed. As soon as Zhuge Ke figured out this truth, the depression and frustration just now immediately disappeared, not only did he not have a little resentment towards Sun Shao, but he was very grateful, and he made up his mind to be mentally prepared to endure hardships along the way. The more Sun Shao gave him hardship, the more good it was for him. No wonder he was so unkind to his father, it turned out that this is also the reason.

Back at the post house, Zhuge Ke ate a full meal, and then fell asleep in a comfortable mood.

"Am I that good?" In the study of Taishou Mansion, Sun Shao laughed and laughed. Shen Xuan smiled evilly: "General, why do you want to be angry with a child, this kid is smart and can bear it, but it is even more ruthless, although you don't have to be afraid of him, but there is no need to make an enemy." ”

Sun Shao didn't answer him, he didn't know Zhuge Ke very well, he only knew that he seemed to be really awesome in Eastern Wu later, and he was a great man in the later period of Eastern Wu. When Shen Xuanneng was fifteen years old, he could see that he was a talent, and his vision was indeed good. He didn't want to discuss this meaningless topic anymore, no matter whether Zhuge Ke was talented or not, he wouldn't follow him anyway. Their father and son are Sun Quan's sworn friends, and they have nothing to do with Sun Ce.

"What is the Supreme's reaction to seeing you?"

"No response." Shen Xuan smiled faintly, his face was very calm: "Like me, Jiangdong is not one or two, besides, I am just following a general with no future now, what else can he be afraid of?" ”

The corners of Sun Shao's mouth twitched.

"He was very satisfied with the drawings and the general's letter, and praised you for your loyalty, knowledge, and lack of Cao Ying's plan in front of Gu Gong."

"Really?" Sun Shao took a sip of water: "Just these empty words, nothing practical?" ”

"I said that I wanted to be rewarded, but I will wait until you return to Jianye."

"Grandma's." Sun Shao scolded secretly.

Shen Xuan hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "Hui Shu has made the Che Cavalry General's Mansion Dong Cao Peng." ”

Sun Shao frowned, as if he was a little displeased, Shen Xuan looked at it and asked quietly, "General, do you think it's bad?" ”

"Not good." Sun Shao glanced at Shen Xuan, the corners of his mouth crooked, "Do you think it's good?" ”

Shen Xuan also smiled, and he nodded slowly: "I don't think it's good either." Then he didn't explain, just sat with a smile on his lips. Sun Shao looked at him for a while, and scolded with a smile: "Shaft, what are you pretending to be deep, you are like this, you don't have the attitude that a guest should have." ”

Shen Xuan said very calmly: "The master is the king, the friend is the tyrant, and the apprentice is dead." ”

"And." Sun Shao rolled his eyes and turned his head. Shen Xuan's meaning was clear to him, he was still beating around the bush and persuading him to be self-reliant, but his mind could fool others, but it was impossible to completely fool Shen Xuan, and he really needed someone like Shen Xuan to help him. He thought for a moment, and then said lightly: "Huishu is talented and knowledgeable, but he has a shortcoming that is also obvious, he sees people too clearly, and the concept of right and wrong is too heavy. But which one of them can he move? He can do anything else, but this position...... Not suitable for him, I'm afraid...... It's a bane. ”

Shen Xuan's eyebrows were raised, and he didn't speak for a long time. He also felt this way when he saw Zhang Wen who had just been promoted in Jianye, and he also advised Zhang Wen to be careful, but Zhang Wen was so proud of the spring breeze that he couldn't listen to it at all, but half-jokingly said that he was red-eyed. Shen Xuan can also understand Zhang Wen's current mood, Zhang Wen's father Zhang Yun used to be Sun Quan's Dong Cao Peng, and now his son inherits his father's business, which not only represents his official career, but also shows that he has taken over Zhang Yun's position in Sun Quan's mind, indicating that Sun Quan trusts him, just as he trusted Zhang Yun at the beginning.

Shen Xuan is not good at persuasion, these words can only be pointed, he is Zhang Wen's friend, of course, he also hopes that Zhang Wen can go well. He was worried that Sun Shao would be unhappy, after all, Zhang Wen's behavior was equivalent to using him and then betraying him, but he didn't expect that Sun Shao was worried about Zhang Wen, this kind of tolerance was like the style of the ancients, which made Shen Xuan very moved.

"As the general said, the first thing he did when he took office was to recommend Ji Yan and Xu Biao to the Supreme to choose Cao Lang." Shen Xuan sighed: "I'm really worried about him. ”

Sun Shao's eyelids couldn't help jumping, Xu Biao he didn't know, that is, Ji Yan had contact with him for a period of time, that person was the same as Zhang Wen, he was also a smart person, and his temper was the same, he knew right from wrong too clearly, this kind of person was a righteous man and a gentleman from a moral point of view, but a place like officialdom was not a place where a righteous man and a gentleman could play, to be a gentleman, you must have enough strength to make those villains unable to move you, and you must have enough wisdom to make those villains unable to succeed, and Zhang Wen and Ji Yan may have wisdom, But they don't have the strength, if they can slowly figure it out, they may be able to succeed, but they can't tolerate sand in their eyes.

It's just a matter of time before these two people are tragic.

"You didn't persuade him?"

"Persuaded, useless." Shen Xuan smiled bitterly: "Who can he listen to now?" ”

"Don't worry, it's going to be a while, and there won't be any trouble." Sun Shao comforted him and said, "Now the Supreme wants me to go back to the funeral, what do you think?" ”

"I think I should go back." Shen Xuan blurted out without thinking, obviously he had already made a decision, and was waiting for Sun Shao to ask. Shen Xuan glanced at Sun Shao, took a sip of water, and continued: "This time Sun Jizuo passed away, the Sun clan's dissatisfaction with him is very obvious, under pressure, he summoned the general back, it is impossible to have any unfavorable actions for the general, on the contrary, in order to appease the Sun clan, he will make a gesture of reusing the general." At that time, it is logical for the general to refrain from resignation or acceptance, but if the general does not go back, then the responsibility will all lie with the general. This will not only lose an opportunity, but will also lead to the dissatisfaction of the entire clan. ”

"Is it that serious?" Sun Shao pinched his fingers, but he couldn't make up his mind.

"Yes." Shen Xuan nodded solemnly: "No matter how capable the general is, how can he distinguish himself from the entire Sun clan?" ”

Sun Shao was a little uncertain. He jumped out of Jianye so easily, and now he is stupid to drill back? It's so uncomfortable to stay by Sun Quan's side, and it makes me unhappy. But what Shen Xuan said also made sense, if he didn't go back, not only did he seem weak-hearted, but also a little self-isolating from the people, and Sun Quan would clean him up in the future, but he wouldn't help him speak. What's more, he didn't feel comfortable in Jiaozhou, not only the old fox of the Shi family, but also the wolf Buqi, they all wanted to use him to eliminate each other.

Shen Xuan saw Sun Shao's eyes flickering, knowing that he was weighing the pros and cons, he couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart. Sun Shao weighed these and showed that he was not really willing to give up, he was just choosing the safest path, which was what he wanted. He rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "General, I was in Panyu City just now, and I heard many people praising the prestige of the general, saying that they had gained a lot by going to sea to fight pirates this time. ”

Sun Shao squinted at Shen Xuan, the corners of his mouth slightly curled, as if smiling. Shen Xuan wiped his nose a little embarrassed, Sun Shao was not stupid, his reminder was a little too straightforward.

"I'll think about it again." Sun Shao didn't answer immediately, got up and said apologetically: "I have been at sea for more than two months, and I am a little tired, silently, this matter is not too late anyway, and it will not be in the way for two days." ”

Shen Xuan nodded and got up to leave.

Sun Shao got up, stretched his waist, and made a few movements to pull out the muscles and bones, the whole person suddenly perked up, he went out of the study and came to the bedroom, Guan Feng had not slept yet, reclining on the edge of the bed, reading a book, Guan Xiaoqing put her leg down on her leg for massage, Qiao Yue was holding an unspeakable fruit, and was using a spoon to dig out the pulp and send it to Guan Feng's mouth, hearing Sun Shao's footsteps, the three of them stopped.

"Isn't it pretty?" Sun Shao stretched out his head and glanced at it, and saw that Guan Feng was looking at the voyage he had just brought back.

"Beautiful." Guan Feng's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "There are still people who have so many patterns on their faces, it looks terrible." This South China Sea is really strange, and there are so many things that have never been heard of. Husband, if your book is passed on to Jianye, I'm afraid it will be similar to the Classic of Mountains and Seas. ”

Sun Shao laughed, patted Guan Xiaoqing's shoulder, asked her to step aside, and hugged Guan Feng's slightly swollen leg and stroked it slowly. "Doesn't it mean that I'm ridiculous, just let them say, what I have here is what I have seen with my own eyes, and some are based on reliable sources, and the credibility is always higher than that of the three emperors and five emperors. What happened to the Classic of Mountains and Seas? I can tell you that what is said in the Book of Mountains and Seas may be true, but they just misunderstood it. When I have built the fleet, I will go out to sea to verify the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Don't keep your eyes limited to such a sky, there are many places that are larger than the territory of the Han Dynasty. ”

Guan Feng wanted to excuse himself, but he stopped him, so he had to hide again, Sun Shao had been on the boat for a few months, his hands were obviously much rougher, and everywhere he went, the feeling of numbness and crispiness made Guan Feng tremble a little, and a hot current surged onto his face.

"Husband......

"Hmm." Sun Shaodong didn't notice Guan Feng's strange appearance, he told Guan Feng with great interest what he saw and heard when he went to sea, and talked about the various situations that occurred when he fought pirates on the way, some went well, some did not go well, and some were almost turned over by pirates. Guan Xiaoqing and the others listened like a sin, Qiao Yue stared at Sun Shao, and the fruit in his hand was subconsciously sent to his mouth, Guan Feng didn't notice it, a pair of phoenix eyes just stared at Sun Shao's face, and his face was full of red glow.

"You little gluttonous cat, you actually snatched Mrs. snacks to eat." Sun Shao stretched out his hand and flicked Qiao Yue's head, Qiao Yue was startled, only then did he realize that he had eaten Guan Feng's fruit, he couldn't help but blush with shame, and hurriedly got up and said, "I'll go get it again." ”

"No need, I'm full, you guys bring some water to make me rinse my mouth, I'm going to rest."

"Whoa." Hashizuki giggled and ran away with the fruit with only one shell left. Guan Xiaoqing served them and took off their coats, helped Guan Feng to the bed, put down the silk tent, and then exited the room. Sun Shao took off his underwear by himself, leaving only one trouser, jumped on the bed, half leaned on the bed, picked up a pu fan, and gently fanned it, the red tent as light as thin smoke shook gently with the wind, like a flowing light.

Guan Feng rested her head on Sun Shao's chest, her cheeks were a little hot, and her voice was indistinct.

"Husband......

"Huh?" Sun Shao was thinking about it, and when he heard Guan Feng call him, he looked down and couldn't help but be a little strange: "What's wrong with you?" ”

Guan Feng raised his head a little annoyed, glared at him resentfully, biting his lip and not speaking. Sun Shao suddenly realized, hugged her shoulders with one hand, nodded her nose with the other, and said with a smile: "Little gluttonous cat, hungry?" ”

"I miss you." Guan Feng hugged Sun Shao's neck and said shyly: "Since we got married, we haven't been separated for so long, and this time you will go to sea for seventy-two days." Say, did you fool around with the camp? ”

"Camp notes? Are you so empty when the ship is still alive and the camp is remembered? Sun Shao glanced at her, stretched out his hand to her chest, and gently stroked the two soft meats, Guan Feng groaned, closed his eyes, and his fiery lips pressed to Sun Shao's ear: "I have to check it to believe it, to see if there is any other fishy smell on your body besides the smell of the sea." ”

"Hahaha......" Sun Shao put Guan Feng on his back, leaned over, looked at her red face, and laughed softly: "Madam, you have to be careful, I am a fierce man who has accumulated seventy-two days of ammunition." ”

"Let the horses come." Guan Feng turned his head embarrassedly, raised his arm to block his flushed face, and said with a smile.

The red tent is moving, the sandalwood bed is soft, the spring breeze is shaking, and the flowers are speechless all night.

At dawn the next day, Sun Shao opened his eyes, but saw Guan Fengzheng half-sitting on the bed looking at him, and couldn't help but be taken aback: "Madam, although the wine is good, don't be greedy." ”

"Duh." Guan Feng blushed, bit his lip and smiled, and said with a straight face: "Husband, I'll accompany you to Jianye." ”

"Go to Jianye?" Sun Shao was stunned for a moment, but also smiled, and looked at Guan Feng's bulging abdomen: "The road is far away, and the waves are bumpy, but it's not a joke, just in case...... Then when you get to Jianye, you and I can't eat and walk around, if you want your mother to forgive you, you have to wait for the next life. ”

"Do you really think of me as one of those delicate women? I'm the tiger girl of the Guan family. Guan Feng looked down at her stomach and said softly: "The concubine is lucky, the husband is pampered and meticulous, the concubine is not greedy enough, and she can't bear to be separated from her husband for such a long time." Besides, I miss my mother too, let's go back together, let this child be born in Jianye, and let my mother be the first to see the child, which can be regarded as our little filial piety. ”

"However, Jian Ye is dangerous." Sun Shao muttered: "It's more dangerous than the sea route." ”

"It's because of the danger that I'm going with you." Guan Feng said resolutely: "The southeast wind has risen in the past two days, and if it goes down the wind, you can reach Jianye in a month at most." Didn't the husband say that Ge Heng's renovated building boat cleaves the waves and chops the waves like walking on the ground? This naval battle failed to make a success, so let it take us back to Jianye to see our grandmother. ”

Sun Shao hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Okay, you give me two days, and I will ask Ge Heng to fix the two building ships together to ensure that nothing is lost." He stretched out his hand and touched Guan Feng's stomach: "Our family will definitely be able to go to Jianye safely, and then come back safely, I will bring my mother to Panyu too, and never return to Jianye's wolf's den again." ”
