After Lu Su hurried back to Qu'a, he hurried to see Sun Ce.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were talking and laughing in the hall, and when they saw Lu Su coming back, they said with a smile: "Zijing came back so quickly, how is the deal going?" ”

Lu Su told the truth, saying that Liu Ze had no intention of exchanging the jade seal for the city, but Liu Ze said that he would return the jade seal to the court.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu looked at each other and smiled, obviously this result had long been expected by them, what a treasure the heirloom jade seal was, and a few cities must not be able to move Liu Ze's heart, they just wanted to explore the truth and themselves. Now that Yuan Shu has been destroyed by Liu Ze, whether Liu Ze has the heart to go south to encroach on Jiangdong is the most concerned issue for Sun Ce and Zhou Yu. As for Liu Ze's statement that he wanted to return the seal to the capital, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu didn't necessarily believe it, thinking that this was just Liu Ze's excuse, and those who got the jade seal won the world, and Liu Ze was a prince, so didn't he have the ambition to win the world? Sun Jian and Yuan Shu tried their best to get the heirloom jade seal, and even accompanied their lives, and someone actually wanted to return the heirloom jade seal to the court for nothing, didn't the brain enter the water?

Although Lu Su seemed very cramped about the unfinished mission, Sun Ce waved his hand very generously and said, "Zijing has worked hard all the way, so let's go back to the house to rest." ”

"Lord, there is one more thing, I don't know whether to talk about it or not?" Lu Su swallowed and spitted out.

Zhou Yu smiled slightly: "Zijing might as well say it if he has something to say." ”

On top of the banquet, Liu Ze didn't spit out the truth after drinking or talking nonsense after drinking, anyway, he said that he would exchange Erqiao for the jade seal. Lu Su couldn't tell if Liu Ze really didn't know if Er Qiao had married Sun Ce and Zhou Yu or pretended to be confused, in short, Liu Ze said everything at that time, which startled Lu Su. Later, although Liu Ze apologized again and again, and mentioned that Lu Su should not tell Sun Ce and Zhou Yu this sentence after he returned, Lu Su considered it again and again along the way, and decided that he still had to tell Sun Ce what Liu Ze said as it was, after all, he was ordered to send an envoy to Shouchun, and it was his obligation to tell Sun Ce the details of this trip truthfully.

Lu Su said: "At the beginning of the meeting, Liu Ze categorically rejected the matter of changing the city to the seal, but it was on the later banquet. Liu Ze was drunk. Instead, he proposed to exchange the second daughter for the jade seal......"

Sun Ce was quite interested when he heard this, and asked, "Liu Ze actually wants a woman to exchange for a jade seal?" Hehe, it's a little interesting, it seems that the rumors in Xuzhou that Liu Ze is a womanizer are not false at all. For a concubine Diao Chan. Liu Ze did not hesitate to turn against Lu Bu. I just heard that Liu Ze's wife is a jealous woman. The famous vinegar jar, Diao Chan made the city stormy, and I didn't expect Liu Ze to go to Huainan. is the same lustful, but I don't know which woman he covets? ”

Lu Su's face was swollen and red, and he hesitated for a while, and said, "What Liu Ze asked for was not someone else, but ...... The two wives of the Qiao family of the lord and the princess ......"

Sun Ce was laughing at Liu Ze, but he didn't expect Lu Su to say that it was actually Liu Ze who fell in love with his wife, at that time, Sun Ce's face stiffened, green and white for a while, and slapped his palm heavily on several cases, gritting his teeth with hatred, and shouted angrily: "Liu Ze is too deceitful!" ”

The hatred of killing his father, the hatred of taking his wife, that is the hatred of not sharing the sky, although Liu Ze is just talking casually, it has not yet reached the point of hatred of taking his wife, but at least his covetous heart is there, for Sun Ce, this is a great insult, Sun Ce has a violent temper, how did he receive this humiliation, and he was angry.

Although Lu Su had foreseen that Sun Ce would inevitably be very angry, he didn't expect Sun Ce's reaction to be so big, and hurriedly said: "The lord is angry, at that time, Liu Ze didn't seem to know that Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao had accepted the matter for the lord and Gong Jin, so he put forward this proposal. ”

"Fart!" Sun Ce was in a hurry at this time, his eyes were split, and he couldn't care whether the words he said were vulgar or not, and they didn't fit his current identity, "The matter of marrying in Anhui City is well known in Huainan, Liu Ze has many ears and eyes, how can he not know about it, Liu Ze is not crazy, he is drunk and insults him, and he is angry with me, I swear to repay it!" ”

Lu Su couldn't help but be at a loss, and secretly felt a little remorseful, it seems that this matter should be listened to Liu Ze, not told to Sun Ce, but deliberately concealing it is not Lu Su's style.

Zhou Yu comforted on the side: "The lord is angry, don't be angry." ”

Sun Ce gradually calmed down his anger and said strangely: "Gong Jin, Liu Ze is not the only one who insulted me, he intends to get involved with Xiao Qiao, but he also slapped Gong Jin in the face, how can you calm down?" ”

Zhou Yu's face flashed with a trace of imperceptible pain, and he said lightly: "Liu Ze is just a quick tongue, why should the lord care, he can't be angry about this matter." Maybe this is exactly what Liu Ze wants to achieve, but the lord must not fall for his radical method. ”

Sun Ce laughed and said: "Gongjin's words are quite reasonable, Liu Ze is envious and jealous, our two brothers are in the arms, and it is he Liu Ze who is depressed, and he is so quick to speak, is it possible that he still has the ability to come to Jiangdong to rob Er Qiao?" "Sun Ce is a straight person, and he will be fine after his anger is sprinkled, thinking about his preemptively marrying Da Qiao before Liu Ze comes back, although he didn't get Hefei, but getting this beauty is also the biggest gain, and he can't help but be in a good mood.

Seeing this, Lu Su also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, got up and left.

Zhou Yu also took the opportunity to leave, but Sun Ce said with a smile on his face: "What? Gong Jin is leaving so soon? Didn't you mention Xiao Qiao, Gong Jin misses the beauty and wants to go back to stay with the jade in a hurry? ”

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Zhou Yu's face, Sun Ce smiled and said, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "It's all from here, Gongjin is still so embarrassed?" You and my brother can get this beauty, what more can I ask for! ”

Out of the lord's mansion, Zhou Yu walked down the street with confidence, and the entourage looked at Zhou Yu's preoccupied appearance, and asked softly, "Is the general going back to the house?" ”

Zhou Yu shook his head lightly and said, "No." When passing by a restaurant, Zhou Yu jumped off his horse and instructed his entourage: "Go back to yourself, and someone will be quiet." ”

The entourage knew Zhou Yu's temper, and when he had something in his heart, he absolutely couldn't be disturbed, so he immediately surrendered.

Zhou Yu walked into the restaurant, and the shopkeeper was obviously very familiar with Zhou Yu, nodding his head and showing courtesy. Zhou Yu didn't raise his eyelids much, and went straight to the second floor.

It was a single private room, clean and tidy, without Zhou Yu's instructions, the guys in the restaurant had already served a jar of wine and a few dishes for Zhou Yu very quickly.

Zhou Yu sat down, and since he entered the restaurant, he didn't say a word, drank to the window, and poured himself a drink.

At this time, I heard a commotion outside, and the guy seemed to be blocking someone: "Dao Chief, you should go to another room, there are distinguished guests in this room, don't disturb it." ”

But I heard a person: "What is expensive? What is cheap? All living beings are vain, fame and wealth, passing by the clouds, people in the world, things in the world, all different paths to the same end, all are dogs. ”

Zhou Yu's heart moved, and he looked through the bead curtain to see that the person who spoke was a Taoist leader, dressed in a crane, holding a quinoa staff, with white eyebrows and kind eyes, and a fairy wind and bones. Zhou Yu got up and said, "Listen to Your Excellency, it's a hidden master, why don't you come in and talk about it." ”

Since Zhou Yu was invited, the guy didn't dare to stop him anymore, but the Daoist was not polite, he stepped in, and bowed his head and said, "Poor Dao has seen the general." ”

Zhou Yu said indifferently: "The Taoist chief doesn't have to be polite, when you meet in Pingshui, you are a person who is destined." Someone come, bring a cup and spoon to the Taoist chief. The guy listened to Zhou Yu's instructions, and immediately brought wine glasses and chopsticks over.

The man smiled and said, "Thank you General for giving you wine and food." ”

Zhou Yu said: "This wine and food, why worry about it." ”

"Looking at the appearance of the general, he is a rich and noble person, why does he have a strange face?" The man asked.

Zhou Yu said indifferently: "Zhou is the governor of the left army, and since he was instructed, he often feels a heavy responsibility, and he does not dare to slack off, so he often has a sense of kinship. ”

The man grinned and said, "The general deceived me." ”

Zhou Yu smiled slightly and said, "Why did the Taoist say this? ”

The man smiled and said nothing, drank wine with his fingers, and wrote sixteen words on the case: "The words of the brocade woman machine are easy to pick and choose, and the jade people's hearts are difficult to understand." ”

Zhou Yu's face changed suddenly, Zhou Yu had always been in the city government very deeply, and his mood was invisible. Zhou Yu first saw Xiao Qiao in Qiao's mansion, it was love at first sight, and then Sun Ce sent someone to Qiao's mansion to propose, Qiao Xuan was afraid of Sun Ce's power and did not dare to disobey, so it was logical that Sun Ce married Da Qiao, and Zhou Yu married Xiao Qiao. These two marriages are widely spread in Huainan and Jiangdong, when people often sigh that the gold and jade are a match made in heaven, but Zhou Yu's heart is all kinds of suffering, it is easy to get a beauty, but it is another thing to capture the heart of a beauty, Xiao Qiao is like an ice beauty, after getting started, there has never been a time to show a pleasant face, always a melancholy, indifferent expression, Zhou Yu prides himself on being elegant and handsome, how many women are disregarded, but he has never been able to go to Xiao Qiao's heart. This is naturally Zhou Yu's secret time, and even the subordinates in the Zhou Mansion may not know it, but that Taoist person came easily, but he easily broke Zhou Yu's heart, how not to surprise Zhou Yu.

When Zhou Yu asked again, the Taoist had already stood up and was about to leave, Zhou Yu hurriedly said: "The Taoist is a master outside, who knows Zhou's heart and asks for a solution." ”

The Taoist smiled and said, "The knot in the heart is easy to knot and is not easy to solve, and the bell needs to be tied to the bell." Gain in Anhui, lose in peace, the number of lives is so, why do you need to say more. Poor Dao took his leave. ”

Zhou Yu asked: "Don't know the name of Changzun yet?" ”

The man clasped his hands together and said, "Poor and auspicious." (To be continued......)
