At the same time as Zhuge Jin arrived in Jianye, Xu Zuo also rushed back to Fuchun, he had a secret mission, and as soon as he went home, he rushed to see his grandmother Sun, and sent a Xuanhu Qiu and a few old ginseng and a lot of Liaodong specialties, Xu Zuo put Sun Shao's handwritten letter in front of Sun.

As a woman of the Sun family, Aunt Sun is not ordinary shrewd. At that time, Xu Zuo's father Xu Kun assisted Sun Ce to recruit Zhang Ying, who was a likou, because there were few boats, Xu Kun planned to wait and find more boats to cross the water, at that time Aunt Sun was in the army, and said to Xu Kun, what kind of boat are you waiting for at this time, take advantage of the fact that the enemy has not all arrived and immediately cross the river, the boat is not enough, just use reeds. Xu Kun listened to her words, crossed the river as fast as possible to defeat Zhang Ying, and soon after the victory, Zhang Ying's reinforcements arrived, and seeing that Xu Kun had already taken advantage of the situation, he had to return in vain.

This is a testament to Aunt Sun's insight.

"What does he want to do?" Aunt Sun looked at Xu Zuo unhappily, "You also take such a task?" ”

"Mother, here's the thing." Xu Zuo saw that she was unhappy, and hurriedly explained the matter. Sun Shao was very dissatisfied with Sun Quan's detaining his son as a hostage, although he also detained Sun Deng, but he just hoped that Sun Quan could let go and not tear his face. This time, taking advantage of the big victory, he hoped to exchange two thousand war horses for the bridge and his son, in order to ensure everything, Sun Shao hoped that the old aunt and grandmother could come forward to say a favor and give Sun Quan a face, everyone said it well, and solved this matter. Everyone has the blood of the Sun family, it is natural to cooperate together, honesty is the right reason, and holding hostages is uncomfortable, and this is not humane.

Grandma Sun listened and sighed. She saw the sincerity from Sun Shao's actions, for Jiangdong, who lacked horses, two thousand war horses were a big gift. It was unreasonable for Sun Quan to hold Sun Shao's hostage, Sun Shao could still restrain himself at this time, and begged Sun Quan in a low voice, with his fiery temper, it could be regarded as benevolence and righteousness. In addition, she also pitied Sun Deng, worried that he had three long and two short, and her granddaughter Mrs. Xu was completely hopeless, and after thinking twice, she decided to help Sun Shao with this, she wrote a letter to Sun Quan, saying that she wanted to see Sun Shao's son, and asked Sun Quan to be gracious and allow Daqiao and the child to come to Fuchun.

Of course, this is a step, if Sun Quan knows each other, sends people over, accepts two thousand war horses, and everyone is happy, this matter will be over.

However, unexpectedly, the letter went into the sea like a mud cow, and there was no more news.

Aunt Sun was a little breathless, and she was extremely disappointed in Sun Quan. The Xu family made great sacrifices for the Sun family, and her son Xu Kun followed Sun Ce to fight since he was young, and made great achievements, and was named the Marquis of Guangde, and unfortunately died in the battle against Huang Zu. Sun Quan succeeded to the throne and only made Xu Jiao the heir, but did not give the army, which was the first place that made Aunt Sun unhappy. Mrs. Xu married Sun Quan and was very favored at first, but later Sun Quan empathized and snubbed Mrs. Xu, this is the second place where Aunt Sun is unhappy, and now Sun Quan doesn't give her face, she doesn't even react, this is the third time that Aunt Sun is unhappy. Compared with Sun Shao's various gifts to the Xu family, Aunt Sun was angry.

Sun Shao's matter of exchanging 2,000 war horses for hostages spread in Yue as quickly as possible, followed by radiation to the neighboring Wu County and Danyang County, and in the first month, everyone went to each other's doors to greet each other, and this news became the hottest topic, Sun Quan became the most ignorant person, and Sun Shao became the most aggrieved sufferer, and the trend of public opinion was very obvious. What is strange is that the Gu Lu, Zhu and Zhang families related to Sun Shao invariably expressed their silence, and they even thanked the guests and resolutely did not participate in the discussion of similar topics.

Sun Quan was furious, and his angry roar could even be heard on the bridge next door.

Mrs. Bu was ordered to cross the house to appease the bridge, and she did not dare to disobey Sun Quan's order, but in fact she was not psychologically comfortable. Recently, Mrs. Wang has been very favored, and there is a faint tendency to press her, because the big tiger is not used to Sun Wei's proud look, he cleaned up Sun Wei, but Sun Wei didn't dare to squeak, but was sued by Mrs. Wang, and Sun Quan, who had never faced the big tiger, called her over and reprimanded her, saying that she was not strict in discipline. God is pitiful, who is used to the surname Big Tiger? Mrs. Bu has a hard time, and she is not used to confiding in others, so she can only keep the bitter water in her stomach.

Ah Yu was wearing new clothes, was playing with Qiao Yue in the yard, as soon as he saw the big tiger and the little tiger, he opened his two muddy little hands and pounced, and his mouth "cooed" non-stop, the big tiger was so frightened that he turned around and ran, Ah Yu followed behind and chased after him, he was only one and a half years old and now walked very steadily.

Looking at the happy smiles of the children in the yard, Ohashi, who was dressed in brocade, showed a relieved smile. Mrs. Bu smiled and looked at it for a moment, and then said, "There have been some rumors in the city recently, have you heard it?" ”

"What rumors?" Daqiao turned his head and looked at Mrs. Bu quietly, with a quiet smile on her still crystal clear face.

"That's it...... Bong first wants to exchange the war horse for your business. Mrs. Bu blushed a little when the bridge saw her, and let go of her gaze weakly, "These ......"

"Aren't these all facts?" Ohashi interrupted Mrs. Bu's words, "I heard that my aunt and grandmother have written letters, but is there such a thing?" ”

Mrs. Bu was speechless, Ohashi even knew this, so what else was there to say.

"You can't bear to let Zigao fight outside?" Daqiao turned his head and no longer glanced at Mrs. Bu, "He is only fourteen years old after the New Year, and he is a child who has no mother since he was a child, what will it feel like in his heart?" Madam, are you willing to watch Mrs. Wang become the queen mother of Wu? ”

Mrs. Bu frowned, and there was a feeling of heartache, and Daqiao's words hit her heart knot at once. Yes, Sun Quan still loves her now, although Mrs. Wang is also favored, but with her surname, there is no threat to her actual surname at present, but if Sun Quan becomes the prince of Wu, then things will be different, to establish a prince, you must establish a queen, and she has no son, which is fatal. If she establishes Sun Deng, she still has a chance, and if she establishes Sun Deng, she can only watch Mrs. Wang come from behind and become the queen of Wu State. Sun Quan is forty years old, and the men of the Sun family are much shorter, who knows how many years or ten years he can live? Twenty years? As soon as Sun Jian succeeded to the throne, Mrs. Wang was the queen mother, and at that time, what good results could she have?

This is why Daqiao said that Mrs. Wang became the queen mother of Wu State, not the queen.

Mrs. Bu was so heartbroken that she couldn't speak, she hated herself, why didn't she even give birth to a son for so many years, if she had a son, how could she end up like this.

"Zigao is a poor boy, if you can be kind to him, he will appreciate you." Daqiao said lightly: "As for me, it doesn't matter if it's a rumor or not, you have to deceive yourself and treat these as rumors, and I can't help it." However, justice is in the hearts of the people, don't do anything, as the lord of Jiangdong, don't you have this open-mindedness? Feng Xian really wants to fight with him, what is the reason between me and Ah Yu. Daqiao turned his head to look at Mrs. Bu, and pricked his heart with words: "If Feng first detains your mother and daughter and asks him for land, will he agree?" ”

Mrs. Bu didn't say anything, her nose was sore, tears almost came out, the eldest Sun Deng didn't work, not to mention their mother and daughter, it is estimated that Sun Quan would not care about their life or death at all. But on the scene, she still had to stay calm and couldn't lose her temper, so she could only hold back her tears and laugh: "Madame is joking, how can things be so serious." ”

Ohashi pursed his lips, smiled silently, and never spoke again, the whole person was like a jade carving, delicate and cold, making people unapproachable.

Sun Quan never gave a positive response, on the third day of the first month, Sun Quan sent Zhonglang to send Zhang Wen to envoy to Shu, on the fifth day of the first month, Zhu Zhi's eldest son Wuwei Lieutenant Zhu Cai went out of Zhenjiangxia, and more than ten related personnel transfers, Zhu Zhang and Gu Lu were the top priority. Then an invisible force spread in Jianye City, slowly suppressing these discussions.

On the fifteenth day of the first month, Shangyuan Festival, Sun Shao set up a banquet in the palace, invited the ministers to drink and feast, Mrs. Bu feasted the wives of the ministers in the harem, and Daqiao was invited to attend, and everything seemed very peaceful. Sun Quan was not happy this New Year, there were a lot of troubles, and he couldn't help but have some meaning of borrowing wine to drown his sorrows, he not only drank it himself, but also forced his ministers to drink, and if he didn't drink, he let Lang Zhong pour it hard, which made everyone miserable, but he laughed happily. Just when a room full of people was staggering, Mrs. Wang stumbled in.

Sun Quan, who was already half drunk, was very unhappy, glaring at Mrs. Wang and just about to get angry, Mrs. Wang grabbed Sun Quan's sleeve and screamed: "King, save our son." ”

Sun Quan was stunned for a moment, then was taken aback, threw away the cup, grabbed Mrs. Wang's arm, and said urgently: "What's wrong with Xi'er?" ”

"Someone kidnapped her ......" Mrs. Wang couldn't cry, and before she finished speaking, her legs weakened and she fainted to the ground. Sun Quan was furious, and immediately called the Lang official who was responsible for guarding the harem to ask, and only after asking did he know that when the ladies were drinking and feasting, Dahu and Xiaohu took Sun Shao's son Ah Yu to play in the court, Sun Wei was excluded alone, and he was quite lonely, so he took a few guards to the backyard to relax, but he didn't come back for a long time, Mrs. Wang felt uneasy, and sent someone to check, and found that several guards were killed in the backyard, and Sun Shu was missing.

Sun Quan gasped, and all the wine he had just drunk turned into sweat and came out of his body, and the dignified Wu Wangfu was actually broken in and robbed the prince? It's worth it. Sun Quan immediately asked Zhou Xun, the partial general who was in charge of the security of Wu Wangfu, to call him, and scolded him with a stinking scolding, Zhou Xun had just learned the news, and before he could report it, he was reprimanded by Sun Quan in front of all the ministers, and he was ashamed.

The palace of Wu was suddenly in chaos, and the heavily armed soldiers soon surrounded the Wu Palace, and Jianye City was also under martial law in the whole city, just when Sun Quan stepped on thunder, there was another big event: Ah Yu was also gone, and the big tiger and the little tiger who played hide and seek with him did not find him, and finally found the collar worn by Ah Yu in a corner, only to know that Ah Yu was also robbed.

As soon as he heard the news, the bridge fainted, and Sun Quan was furious, and he instructed Jianye's defenders to go out of the city and dig three feet into the ground to find the two children.

This Shangyuan Festival is destined to be not peaceful, the originally peaceful and peaceful Jianye City is suddenly full of heavily armed, cold-faced warriors, a team of people rushed into the people's homes, rummaged through the cabinets, and searched thoroughly, which inevitably took the opportunity to blackmail, the communiqué of personal vendettas, made chickens and dogs jump, even all the ministers' mansions were not spared, one is the son of King Wu, the other is the son of King Yue, no one can afford this responsibility, the person in charge of the search is eager to dig up the land of all the houses.

In the early hours of the morning, Lu Yi, the school officer, first discovered the target, on a ship outside the north city gate, they found a guest room with a closed hatch, two soldiers came forward to search, and they were killed as soon as they entered the door. Lu Yi immediately made a decision, and asked people to surround the ship, while reporting to Sun Quan, while shouting to the people inside, to the effect that you have been surrounded, hurry up and surrender, or you will be killed.

The people inside were silent for a long time, and finally said that they were willing to hand over a child in exchange for a new life. Lu Yi was overjoyed, and further asked for the release of the two children at the same time, and the people inside sneered and said, the murderer, people will always kill him, it is already polite to be able to release one, I am in a hurry, Lao Tzu is desperate for this life, and the two children will not let go of any of them.

Lu Yi didn't dare to force it anymore, so he asked people to surround the ship while rushing back to the palace to see Sun Quan.

Sun Quan's face was pale, and he was anxiously turning back and forth in the house, and the harem was in chaos, and Mrs. Wang and Daqiao cried as soon as they woke up, crying until they fainted again, and then continued to cry when they woke up. Mrs. Bu and Mrs. Yuan were afraid that they would have an accident, and they were inseparable from a group of maidservants. Sun Quan waited for news in the front hall, he didn't know how many people he had scolded and how many people he had beaten, and he was relieved when he finally heard that Lu Yi had news. On the one hand, he asked people to report the news to the harem, so that Daqiao and Mrs. Wang could rest assured, and on the other hand, he rushed to the riverside with Lu Yi.

The ship had been surrounded by sailors who had rushed to hear the news, and if it hadn't been for the fact that the two children were in the hands of the robbers, the ship would have been smashed to pieces. Sun Quan ordered someone to shout, put down the child, and spare you a way to live.

The robbers seem to have been prepared, or that sentence, the murderer, people will always kill him, if you want to put only one, don't even think about it, I came this time to take revenge, I can't go back empty-handed, please Sun Quan make a choice as soon as possible, before the first ray of sunlight appears on the ground level, if Sun Quan has not chosen well, then the two will die together. Next, the robbers never replied, and Sun Quan sent several warriors to try to raid, but they were all killed on the ship without exception. The robber was so skilled in martial arts that Sun Quan saw him wield a long sword and kill two elites in the blink of an eye.

Sun Quan was cornered, he was furious, but helpless. He felt that this matter was a bit strange, where did the robbers come from, they were so familiar with the situation in his palace, they robbed the two children unconsciously, and their martial arts skills were so skillful, they first assassinated a few Lang officials who protected Sun Ji without making a sound, and now they easily killed dozens of elites. What kind of enmity does he have with the Sun family, he would rather have his own surname than rob a child and leave?

The last question is not important, the Sun family has killed more people, and it is estimated that there are not one or two people who want to seek revenge, but they don't have the courage and ability. Sun Quan sometimes wondered if this robber would be sent by Sun Shao, he couldn't exchange war horses, so he simply sent assassins to attack, and now he used two children to force him to make a choice, choose Ah Yu, his son Sun Wei died unexpectedly, Sun Deng pinched him again, not only could not control him, but in turn had to be controlled by him. Choose Sun Shao, that's more troublesome, Sun Shao will definitely come to retaliate, the thief shouting to catch the thief is his forte, there is no need to have such an opportunity, it is definitely not his style.

But although Sun Quan is so suspicious, he has no evidence, unless he catches the robber and gets a confession from his mouth, it is okay if the confession is not made, this can be made up, but the premise is that you have to catch the robber, so that the confession made up is convincing, if the robbers are not caught, you say that he was sent by Sun Shao, who believes it?

The sound of water droplets in the leaky pot was monotonous and stereotyped, like the blood in Sun Quan's heart, he gritted his teeth tightly, and his lips bit out blood, but he didn't notice it at all, he hated Sun Shao, he was sure that this was Sun Shao's trick, but he couldn't say that if he said this without evidence, others would only say that he planted it, and would not agree with his speculation.

Time is like the river under the boat, passing slowly, no one dares to say anything, waiting for Sun Quan's choice.

...... "He finally chose his own son and gave up my son?" Sun Shao sneered: "Aren't you afraid that I will kill his son too?" ”

Zhuge Jin sweated like rain, glanced at Sun Deng, who was pale, and hurriedly persuaded: "Your Highness, King Wu is not unsympathetic to His Highness's son, that is not his choice, that is...... Providence. ”

"Providence? God, your mother's will. Sun Shao jumped up and shook his hand with a big slap: "I see him throw five baht coins a hundred more times, or choose his son, you treat me as a stupid pig?" Dare to fool me with such as providence? Believe it or not, I'll go back to my division now and fight him to the death, so that he can see him to be called true providence. ”

Zhuge Jin was so slapped by him that his eyes were full of stars, and he couldn't say what he was suffering about. At that time, he was standing by Sun Quan's side, of course he knew that the so-called divination and selection of children, depending on the will of heaven, was all as Sun Shao said, but he couldn't admit it. If Sun Shao really wants to go back and fight with Sun Quan now, won't he become a sinner.

"Your Highness is angry, Your Highness is angry." Zhuge Jin persuaded repeatedly, "It was Wu Fan who calculated that Ling Lang was in danger, so he ......"

"Wu Fan?" Sun Shao stopped his hand in the air and glared at Zhuge Jin: "What is Wu Fan?" ”

Zhuge Jin was frightened, this pirate King Yue is unreasonable, your uncle and nephew are angry, what are you doing to me, but Sun Shao wants to beat him, and he can't help it, this is why Xiucai meets the soldiers, and he can't explain it clearly. When Sun Shao was puzzled, he took a breath and hurriedly told him what had happened.

Sun Quan faced this dilemma and wanted to choose his son, but he was afraid of leaving a bad reputation, so in the end, Lu Yi came up with an idea, asking Wu Fan to do the math, see what the fate of the two children was, and make a decision with the will of God. As a result, Wu Fan calculated, the effect was surprisingly good, Sun Wei had a catastrophe, just today, if he couldn't get by, he would die, and Ah Yu also had a catastrophe, but there was no danger, and every evil turned into good fortune. As soon as this result came out, of course the interested person would not let go of the opportunity, and persuaded Sun Quan to leave Sun Zhi behind, for a very good reason.

"your mother." Before Zhuge Jin finished speaking, Sun Shao slapped him with a backhand, and said with a hideous face: "You are two hundred and five when you are Lao Tzu, let me tell you, Wu Fan's old erector is dead, Lao Tzu will not kill him, and he will never give up." ”

Zhuge Jin was depressed, he had lived for most of his life, and he had never been slapped like this, but this time he made up for it all in Sun Shao's place. He was ordered to go to Sun Shao to explain, and he knew that this was a troublesome errand, but thinking about how much Sun Shao wanted to give him some face, who would have thought that as soon as he heard the news, Sun Shao went crazy, and threw a slap in the face, and it was another slap in the face, which was worse than Sun Shao at the beginning.

"Drag it down and fight until you die." Sun Shao was furious.

"Your Highness, my father is just a messenger, what's the use of you beating him?" Zhuge Ke couldn't hold back any longer, rushed over and stopped in front of Sun Shao, and scolded angrily. Sun Shao glared: "Little erection, do you dare to stab in front of Lao Tzu?" Get out of here, or I'll clean up with you. ”

"Your Highness, the hexagram is Wu Fanbu's, and the decision was made by King Wu, what does it have to do with my father? Why should Your Highness bully the weak and fear the hard? Zhuge Ke stalked his neck, didn't give an inch, clenched his fists, and Sun Shao did it again, and he and Sun Shao would fight hard.

"This has nothing to do with General Zuo." Guan Feng, whose eyes were red, walked out from behind and knelt down in front of Sun Shao: "Husband, since he can't protect Ah Yu's safety, please allow me to kill Sun Deng and avenge my Ah Yu." ”

Zhuge Jin was taken aback, and hurriedly got up from the ground and protected Sun Deng in front of the pale face, Wei Wen and Zhuge Zhi were also startled, and hurriedly surrounded Sun Deng in the middle, Deng Ai, Shi Bao and others didn't say a word, and stepped forward to surround them all together.

Sun Deng brushed aside Zhuge Jin's hand, slowly walked in front of Sun Shao, bowed to the ground, and said nothing, but tears dripped on the ground. When he heard the news, he was even more nervous than Sun Shao, Sun Quan gave up Sun Shao's son for Sun Shao's sake, which was equivalent to pushing him to death, if Sun Shao wanted to kill him, how could Zhuge Jin and the others be able to protect him? Rather than this, it is better to lead the death honestly.

At this moment, he hated Sun Quan to the core.

"You're right, it's not your father's business." Sun Shao walked up to Zhuge Ke and saluted Zhuge Jin, whose cheeks were red and swollen: "Shao Fang is in a mess, disrespectful to General Zuo, please Haihan." ”

Zhuge Jin bared his teeth, what could he do if he didn't Haihan, at this moment, he could only endure it.

"It's none of your business." Sun Shao turned around and pulled Sun Deng up, stretched out his hand to wipe away his tears: "I'm going to start a war with your father, it's not appropriate for you to stay here, let's leave first." ”

"What?" Zhuge Jin was taken aback, Sun Shao really wants to fight with Sun Quan?

Sun Shao didn't even look at Zhuge Jin, turned around and walked up to the tent, and shouted loudly: "Tell the generals, the army will set off immediately and head for Jianye." ”

"Whoa." Guan Feng stepped forward and clenched his fists and shouted in response.

"What's going on?" Sun Shangxiang broke in angrily, blushing and shouting, "What's wrong with Ah Yu?" ”
