In the twenty-second year of Jian'an (217 AD), the first month of spring.

Sun Quan raised his head from the mountain of official documents, put down the pen in his hand, and felt as if he had fallen into an ice hole, cold to the bone, his fingers were also frozen a little disobedient, his eyelids were so heavy that he couldn't lift them, the blood vessels at his temples were beating slowly and tightly, and the corners of his eyes twitched involuntarily.

"Alas-" Sun Quan let out a long sigh, patted his numb legs, and turned his neck twice with great effort, making a clicky sound at the cervical spine, as if it was a rusty crossbow machine, which could collapse at any time.

"Ali, rub it for me." Sun Quan groaned and closed his eyes: "It's really uncomfortable." ”

Gu Li walked quickly behind him, skillfully put his hand on Sun Quan's shoulder, and kneaded it gently. Sun Quan's shoulders were cold and hard, and his muscles seemed to have lost their elastic surname. Gu Li sighed and said softly: "Supreme, you haven't slept all night, it's better to rest for a while, otherwise you won't be able to stand it." ”

The corners of Sun Quan's mouth were crooked, and he didn't say a word, and after a while, he sighed: "I want to too, but I can't." ”

Guli didn't speak. As Sun Quan's personal attendant, he knew too well the burden on Sun Quan's shoulders. Cao Ying's 80,000-strong army is in Jiangbei, and the company camp is more than ten miles, and yesterday it was already approaching Juchao, and a big war was about to break out. The atmosphere in the camp was very tense, and as the coach, Sun Quan's psychological pressure was self-evident.

"Lu Yi, is there any news from Jiangbei?" Sun Quan was silent for a moment, and then suddenly said, his voice was a little dry and a little uneasy.

Lu Yi, who had been kneeling and sitting silently, put down his pen and replied, "Back to the Supreme, no." ”

Sun Quan raised his eyelids, and saw that Lu Yi's face couldn't hide the tiredness, and his eye circles were also a little dark, but his eyes were still in good spirits, and he nodded with satisfaction. His heart suddenly moved, and he raised his hand and patted Gu Li's hand gently: "Ali, take some wine and food, and bring one to Bodao." ”

Gu Li hurriedly went, and after a while, he was followed by two attendants, one of whom held a food table in his hand, on which was placed a pot of wine, a pot of soup, and two plates of dried meat, and the aroma of hot meat soup immediately filled the big tent, adding a bit of heating to the cold big tent.

Lu Yi looked at the food table in front of him, his nose was sore, and he almost burst into tears. He hurriedly bowed to the ground: "Thank you Supreme for giving food." ”

"Eat, no need to be polite, you've worked hard all night. Eat warmly and go rest for a while. Sun Quan waved his hand, didn't say much, first drank a mouthful of meat soup, took a sip of hot food, and his whole body suddenly felt a lot more comfortable, and a rare pleasure arose. He sighed comfortably, then grabbed the bamboo chopsticks and paused on the case, picked up a piece of dried meat and put it in his mouth, and then drank a mouthful of meat soup. He put down the bamboo chopstick, took the handkerchief handed by Gu Li and wiped his mouth, and then took the wine that Gu Li had poured and took a sip.

"Cheerful, hahaha, cheerful." Sun Quan patted his stomach and laughed: "Bodao, eat quickly, it won't smell good when it's cold." ”

"Whoa." Lu Yi raised his sleeves, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and choked up and ate in a big gulp.

Sun Quan looked at Lu Yi quietly, until Lu Yi was full of food and drink, and his face flushed with cold, then he lit up the wine glass in his hand and said with a smile: "Bodao, is this wine selling well?" ”

Lu Yi hurriedly bowed down and replied, "Back to the Supreme, it sells well." He smiled, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The minister followed Captain Sun this time, and made a small fortune, and the supply of new wine exceeded the demand, and Wu County sold three thousand buckets in just three months, and it was 1,300 buckets a month in the last month alone." ”

"Then you've made a fortune." Sun Quan Waner smiled, and said with some jokes: "So, it's not a problem for you to sell 10,000 buckets a year?" ”

"It's definitely not a problem." Lu Yi smiled faintly, there was no nervous look on his face at all, it seemed that it was not Sun Quan who held the power of life and death who was talking to him, but just an ordinary friend, and the person who cooperated with him was not Sun Shao, who had always been guarded against by Sun Quan, but just an irrelevant person.

Sun Quan is very satisfied with Lu Yi's attitude, he likes Lu Yi's point, doing business is business, but he resolutely doesn't say what he shouldn't say, and his heart is selfless and wide. He nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said, "How is Jianye's new wine selling?" ”

Lu Yi hesitated: "I just heard that the sales are also good, but the specific amount is not very clear." He seemed to laugh with some regret: "Jian Ye's new wine is all Mrs. Sun's, and only she knows how much it has been sold." ”

"Isn't Feng Xian a loss?" Sun Quan leaned on Gu Li's thigh, stretched out his sore legs, and put on a naggy look, with an easy-going smile on his face: "He has to lose at least 100 gold a year." ”

"Captain Sun is rich now, so he shouldn't care about this hundred gold." Lu Yi laughed playfully.

"Hehehe......" Sun Quan glanced at Lu Yi, stroked his hand back and forth on his thigh a few times, and said with a smile: "The new wine sells well, if you want to increase your share, you have to tell him in advance, otherwise, you won't have your share." ”

"Thank you Supreme for reminding me, the minister plans to wait for Captain Sun to come to the camp, and he will strike first." Lu Yi said seriously. Sun Quan was amused by his seriousness, laughed for a while, shook his head, and said a little angrily: "This shaft has made a lot of money, and people are lazy." Let him come to the camp to be a guard, but he has not yet arrived. Aleigh, when is he coming? ”

Gu Li shook his head: "I don't know, do you want to ask General Zhou?" ”

Sun Quan hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Go and call him." ”

Gu Li went to the door and ordered, and after a short time, Zhou Xun, the governor of the tent, strode in, and bowed his hand with full of energy: "The general and the ministers, please meet the Supreme." ”

Looking at Zhou Xun, who had red lips and white teeth and was full of energy, Sun Quan secretly praised himself, this kid is exactly the same as his father, he is in good spirits when he looks at it, and he is not tired at all after a night of duty. He asked Gu Li to take a seat, watched Zhou Xun sit respectfully, and then asked, "Feng Xianke has arrived?" ”

Zhou Xun hesitated slightly, and immediately shook his head: "Back to the Supreme, I haven't joined the company yet." ”

"Do you know what he's doing?"

"I heard...... What a honeymoon. Zhou Xun said with some embarrassment, and his face flushed.

"Honeymoon?" Sun Quan was stunned for a moment, a little puzzled: "What honeymoon?" ”

"Captain Sun said that within a month of marriage, it is called a honeymoon." Zhou Xunqiang couldn't help but smile and said lightly: "It probably means that the husband and wife have a good relationship, which is as sweet as honey." ”

"Poof-" Sun Quan couldn't help but be happy, "This erector didn't come to join the company for this?" It really doesn't make sense. ”

Zhou Xun didn't say anything. He felt that Sun Shao had gone too far this time. In the past, he wanted to be an official, but Sun Quan didn't let him be an official, but this time Sun Quan gave him a chance, but he repeatedly delayed and refused to come to the camp, which seemed a little unrespectful. But what puzzled him was that Sun Quan didn't blame him, it seemed that Sun Shao's donation of 3,000 gold two days ago was still very useful. Of course, Zhou Xun also knew that Sun Quan asked Sun Shao to be a personal guard is different from others, others being a personal guard means becoming a close minister, and the chances of promotion in the future are greatly increasing, and Sun Shao being a personal guard just means that his every move is in front of Sun Quan's eyes, and if he wants to go out to lead troops in the future, it is still a dream.

It's just that Zhou Xun feels that no matter what Sun Quan's intentions are, since you let you come, you should come immediately, and if you have opinions, you can only put them in your stomach and can't show them. This is the duty of a courtier.

He was thinking about how to answer Sun Quan's words, there was a commotion outside the tent, Sun Quan glanced at Gu Li in surprise, Gu Li hurriedly ran to the tent, lifted the tent door to take a look, and then turned his head and smiled: "Supreme, Captain Sun is here, and Mrs. and Miss are also here." ”

"Let them in." Sun Quan was overjoyed, jumped up, clapped his hands and laughed: "Big Tiger, Big Tiger, are you here?" ”

"Awn, I'm here." Sun Luban's delicate voice sounded, followed by the opening of the tent door, accompanied by a crisp laughter like a copper bell, Sun Luban rushed into the big tent like a gust of wind, jumped up, and threw himself into Sun Quan's arms. Sun Quan hugged him and kissed Sun Luban's little face hard, and the thick beard tickled Sun Luban's face and made her giggle.

"Why did you come today?" Sun Quan said reproachfully: "Don't want to be Ah Weng? ”

"Yes." Sun Luban replied loudly, then remembered something, broke free of Sun Quan's arm, stood a little cross-legged, and said proudly with his small chest: "Ah Weng, am I beautiful?" ”

Sun Quan took a closer look, and only then did he realize that Sun Luban was different today. She was wearing a delicate leather armor, which was very close-fitting, setting off her small body neatly and neatly, with a unique heroic spirit. A wide belt was tied around the waist, the waist was thin, the gilded double phoenix belt hook was shining with gold, almost dazzling his eyes, and there was a ring head knife obliquely inserted on the belt, about three feet long, much shorter than the commonly used ring head knife, the black scabbard was painted with gold paint with a phoenix bird pattern, and a bunch of red tassels were tied to the knife ring, and the whole person looked heroic, it was simply a pocket version of Sun Shangxiang.

"Wow! Learn from your aunt? Sun Quan's eyes widened in surprise, stretched out his hand and scratched the nose of the triumphant Sun Luban, and couldn't help laughing: "Finally the leather armor is coming, your aunt is annoyed by you, right?" ”

"Not really." Sun Luban turned his head, wrinkled his nose and said: "Mother is too stingy, she refuses to make leather armor for me, this is made for me by the eldest brother, and this knife is also specially asked by the eldest brother to fight me, but it is sharp." Sun Luban said, pulled out the ring head knife as if offering a treasure, glanced around, and saw that only Zhou Xun had a knife in his waist, so he ordered loudly: "Draw the knife!" Let me cut it. ”

Zhou Xun's face was flushed, he was at a loss, and looked at Sun Quan for help. Sun Quan smiled, nodded, and motioned him to listen to Sun Luban's words, Zhou Xun had no choice but to pull out his knife and make a parry posture. Sun Luban riveted his strength, held the knife in both hands, and with a broken drink, the short knife slashed the knife in Zhou Xun's hand at once, and there was a "click" sound, and sparks splashed everywhere.

"Huh?" Sun Luban seemed a little strange, looked at the knife in his hand, and then looked at the knife in Zhou Xun's hand, with a puzzled face: "Why is it not broken?" ”

"Broken?" Sun Quan looked at Sun Luban puzzled: "What kind of treasure knife is yours?" ”

"Of course." Sun Luban looked suspicious, his eyes turned around the two knives, and he said as a matter of course: "That day, the eldest brother used this knife to cut off my aunt's knife at once, why can't I?" ”

"Really?" Sun Quan was angry and funny, took the knife from Sun Luban's hand, and signaled Zhou Xun to be careful. Zhou Xun didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly clenched the knife with both hands. Sun Quan twisted his wrist, threw a knife flower, and slashed it down, with a soft "click", the ring head knife in Zhou Xun's hand was broken into two in response.

"Good knives." Several people in the tent praised in unison.

"Of course." Sun Luban saw that Sun Quan was looking at her knife in surprise, for fear that Sun Quan would get up, so he hurriedly snatched it over, and carefully returned the knife into the sheath, so he patted the scabbard with confidence, raised his little face, and expressed pride: "How is it, amazing?" ”

"Amazing, amazing." Sun Quan laughed and pinched Sun Luban's little face lovingly: "What about your aunt and sister?" ”

"Outside." Only then did Sun Luban remember that he pulled Sun Quan out of the big tent. When Sun Quan saw it, he was immediately attracted by the scene in front of him, his mouth opened wide, and his eyes almost protruded.

Mrs. Bu, who was dressed plainly, pulled Sun Luyu to stand in the middle, like an empty valley orchid, looking at him quietly, with a quiet smile on her face. Behind them stood two samurai in armor, the new black and red leather armor was worn on their bumpy bodies, with a serious expression and this fiery figure, the two completely different beauties of femininity and masculinity were perfectly combined in their bodies, making people think about it, pleasing to the eye, and reluctant to take their eyes off.

If there's anything bad, it's that Sun Shao, who stands between these two heroines, is too slight, although he is also wearing a brand-new battle armor and a ring-headed knife hanging from his waist, but his sleepy-eyed appearance makes people feel that he is really ruining this fine armor, no matter how you look at it, how can you look at it.

"The concubine meets the Supreme."

"Meet the Supreme."

Sun Quan couldn't keep his eyes on Sun Shangxiang and Guan Feng for a long time, so he had to turn his head and say to Sun Shao, who didn't seem to have woken up: "Fengxian, are you finally willing to come?" ”

Sun Shao grinned and laughed dryly: "No, I came early in the morning, and I haven't had the energy yet." ”

"Shaft." Sun Quan couldn't cry or laugh, called him aside and reprimanded in a low voice: "Is it necessary for you to be so public? This is a barracks, let two women walk around in military uniforms? ”

"What happened to the barracks?" Sun Shao rolled his eyes and said confidently: "It's the military camp that makes them dress like this." Madame is a woman, of course she can wear regular clothes, but they are the guards who protect Madame, that is, sergeants, what do you wear if you don't wear a military uniform? ”

"You're still reasonable?" Sun Quan shook his head helplessly: "What's the matter with the big tiger, you also let her be a guard?" It's really a shame for you, and you still have such a sharp knife for her, what if she hurts someone? ”

"This is not what I want, she chased after me by herself, and Madame nodded, and I agreed." Sun Shao jumped aside and looked at Sun Quan defensively: "If my uncle doesn't agree, I'll go and come back now, it will cost me a lot of money." ”

Sun Quan was so angry with him that he couldn't speak, looking at Sun Luban's precious appearance, could he still come back at this time? He raised his hand to Sun Shao and glared at him: "Zhuzi, Hugh has to talk flatteringly, the camp is not home, let you come nonsense." ”

"I won't come, I'm not free." Sun Shao complained twice in frustration, beckoning to call Sun Luban, Sun Quan hurriedly grabbed him, and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I'll talk about this later." I'll tell you the right thing first, the last time you said you wanted to do business, I discussed it with you, they have different opinions, you have to answer them face to face, and then make a decision, you prepare it yourself. ”

"Oh." Sun Shao answered, opened his mouth wide and yawned big: "Supreme, is there anything else?" If not, let me sleep for a while, but they woke me up before dawn and trapped me. ”

"You ......" Sun Quan couldn't hold back any longer, and raised his hand to Sun Shao: "Are you still sleepy?" I haven't slept all night, and I'm not as sleepy as you, so I'm embarrassed to say it. I used to get up before dawn to practice martial arts, but now it's good, I sleep every day until I wake up naturally? ”

"Huh? Yes! Sun Shao was stunned for a moment, then nodded a little blankly, looked at Sun Quan stupidly with his big mouth open, closed his mouth after a while, raised his sleeve and wiped the corners of his mouth, and explained: "I don't need to work so hard now." ”

Sun Quan's face sank, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, Sun Shao's words had some extraneous meanings.

Sun Shao laughed and said, "I have already entered the realm of entering and exiting from the heart, and I don't need to practice so hard." ”

Sun Quan frowned, looked at Sun Shao, who had a smug face, and did not speak. He was guessing whether what Sun Shao said was true or against his will. It's a pity that Sun Shao's face couldn't see anything other than sleepiness, he felt bored, so he had to wave his hand and ask Zhou Xun to take them to the camp that had been arranged.

In the three or four months of Jianye, Sun Shao had close contact with Zhou Xun for the first time, and even on the day of his wedding, although Zhou Xun came to congratulate him, he didn't talk to him, and he was too busy that day to take care of Zhou Xun at all. It's just that Zhou Xun's face was a little unnatural today, and after glancing at him, he hurriedly led the way.

"Big brother, what's wrong with him?" Sun Luban took Sun Shao's hand, pointed to Zhou Xun's back and asked softly.

"I don't know, I guess I'm being bullied." Sun Shao said casually.

"I see." Sun Luban nodded thoughtfully and pouted: "He must be sad because I cut off his knife." Well, a kid who looks pretty handsome, he's so stingy, and he's still the son of the Dudu, and he's not promising! ”

"Poof-" Sun Shao laughed suddenly, squatted on the side and coughed. Zhou Xun, who is regarded as a representative of a new generation of heroes in Wu County, was actually said so unbearable by a little girl, I don't know what Zhou Xun thinks about himself.

Zhou Xun was also very depressed, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only pretend not to hear it, and walked with his head down. Sun Luban jumped in front of him unrelentingly, crossed his waist, stared at him with his face up, and shouted: "Hey! Don't cry, it's a big deal I'll pay you a knife, crying with a sad face, and let others think I'm bullying you. ”

Zhou Xun was extremely embarrassed, but he couldn't get angry with Sun Luban, so he could only glance at the subordinates next to him who couldn't help but smile and endure pain: "What are you doing standing, don't you bring the first account to check." ”

"Whoa." A few soldiers didn't dare to slack off, so they hurriedly agreed solemnly and quickly entered the big tent.

"Big tiger, don't be presumptuous." Seeing that Zhou Xun was embarrassed, Mrs. Bu hurriedly drank Sun Luban, and smiled apologetically: "The concubine has no way to teach, please forgive the general." "Don't dare." Zhou Xun hurriedly returned the salute.

"Humph!" Sun Luban was blamed by his mother, subconsciously accumulated hatred on Zhou Xun, glared at Zhou Xun, and strode into the big tent. Zhou Xun smiled helplessly, walked to Sun Shao, who was pretending to see the scenery, and coughed dryly: "Big brother, the tent arranged by the Supreme for the virtuous couple is next to it, please come with me." ”

Sun Shao didn't speak, and pointed to Qiao Yue, Guan Xiaoqing, Shuai Zeng and others who were waiting with him, and asked them to follow with their luggage. The big tent that Sun Quan arranged for him was not too far from the big tent where Mrs. Bu and Sun Quan worked, Sun Shangxiang's big tent was close to it, the tent was not small, and the decoration was quite high-grade. Sun Shao was very satisfied and nodded again and again.

Zhou Xun didn't say anything until the arrangements were made and he said goodbye, and then he said softly at the moment of passing by: "Thank you for your understanding." ”

Sun Shao was stunned.
