Today's Xiangyang can be called one of the most prosperous cities in the whole Han Dynasty, for so many years, Liu Biao has worked hard to operate, and Wang Xu has worked hard to build, plus several lucky to avoid the war, its prosperity has been directly caught up with Luoyang before the Yellow Turban Rebellion. There are many shops on the street, pedestrians are dense, there is an endless stream of vendors coming and going from all over the world, the cries of selling come and go, the people are full of energy, full of spirit, a prosperous scene.

The envoys of the Sun family in Jiangdong who were ordered to come were also shocked by this prosperous scene, and originally thought that their Sun family was working hard in Jiangdong, and Wu County, the capital of Wu County, was a rich place after few wars, but now it is difficult to compare. Even the current governance of the Sun family, the former Danyang County Mansion Moling, and now the giant city that has been renamed Jianye, is far from it.

After Sun Ce was welcomed into the post house and settled down, he couldn't help but ask him to go out for a walk, and he knew the importance of the Sun family's envoys, and of course he was happy to accompany him. More than ten people were talking and laughing and walked out of the gate of the post house, but they bumped into Wang Xu who came in a hurry.

"Young General Sun Ce, I've seen General Wang!" Nominally belonging to the Han Dynasty, Sun Ce stepped forward to salute or commensurate with his official rank to show respect.

"Huh! Didn't I say it back then, you and I are like brothers, why do you need to see each other like this. I'm a few years older, and I'm just like a brother! Wang Xu replied with a smile, and couldn't help but look at the more and more heroic Jiangdong Xiaobawang. I remember when I first came, although he already had a heroic spirit, he was still a little thin and lacked majesty. But now it is very different, not only is the body more and more tall and tall, but the strong heroic atmosphere is more paved, obviously the body has matured, and has been baptized on the battlefield.

"Well, that's where the little brother met. This Xiangyang is unfamiliar with life. I hope my brother will take care of it! "Sun Ce is also an upright and casual person. It was a humorous joke.

I have heard Sun Ce's witty and kind words in history for a long time, and sure enough, it is true. Wang Xuwan smiled: "Since the virtuous brother is here, how can he not be a landlord as a brother?" Saying that, he looked at a few people, and couldn't help but wonder: "You have just arrived for a while, where are you going to go if you don't rest?" ”

Sun Ce and Jiangdong's envoys looked at each other and smiled, but replied loudly: "This is to blame the elder brother!" ”

"Blame me?" Wang Xu was puzzled.

"Of course!" Sun Ce looked like he should be, and saw that Wang Xu was puzzled. Only then did he smile suddenly: "It's all my brother's fault that this Xiangyang has been governed so prosperous and rich, we were aroused on the way to the city, and we couldn't take care of the fatigue of the journey, who is not to blame the brother?" ”

"Hahahaha!" Wang Xu laughed with relief in an instant, this Sun Ce is really articulate, which not only enlivens the atmosphere, closes the distance, but also slaps a fart without bounds, which is quite useful. "You're much more slippery than you were back then."

"Brother Jiuwen is informal. Humorous and funny, he has been a role model for his younger brother since he was a child! Sun Ce responded unhurriedly.

"Hey!" Wang Xu was really made to cry and laugh by this Sun Ce. couldn't help but ridicule: "You can't afford to say this as a brother, the first time we met, you had to compete with me!" ”

But as soon as the words came out, I regretted it, isn't this a pot that can't be opened. Sure enough, Sun Ce's bright eyes suddenly glowed, and his face flashed flushed, obviously he had excitedly run the internal force in his body just now. "The elder brother didn't say it, and the younger brother almost forgot, when the younger brother wanted to ask the elder brother for advice, the elder brother said that I was still young and not suitable for war. Now that I've grown up, I wonder if my brother is willing to fulfill his promise? ”

"This ......," Wang Xu was speechless for a moment.

It's not that he didn't dare to fight with Sun Ce, although he didn't show much over the years, his martial arts didn't fall for a moment. Due to the good foundation, the high-speed growth period in recent years has also improved very fast, and there is also the ancient double cultivation secret record given by the Xuanwei Taoist, and the majesty of the internal force and the exquisite skills have already entered the super-first-class. The current generals of Jingzhou, except for Dian Wei and Zhao Yun, who are slightly better, really no one can suppress him, and compared to Zhao Yun and Dian Wei at the same time, it is estimated that there will be a chance to continue, but except for Xu Shu, Diao Chan, several wives and concubines and Dian Wei, no one knows his exact strength.

However, although he is not afraid of Sun Ce, it is definitely thankless to fight him. It's pointless to win, it's a shame to lose, just learn to find Dian Wei. But the words have been spoken back then, and they can't regret their promises lightly, for fear of spreading them and leaving a stigma.

In an instant, he had a plan in his mind, and he smiled and haha: "Of course, but today you are far away, so it is better to visit Xiangyang first, and then choose another time to learn." ”

Sun Ce is obviously more interested in learning than excursions, but at present, so many people are blocked here, and it is not good to change because of his personal interests, so he has to nod at the moment: "It's okay, then it's all up to my brother's arrangement!" ”

Suppressing this matter, Wang Xu also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he could avoid it. Fortunately, the prosperity of Xiangyang soon attracted Sun Ce's attention, and Wang Xu personally introduced him along the way, deliberately showing the richness of the land. The ministers of Jiangdong also sighed again and again, and the voices of praise were endless. And what shocked them the most was the attitude of the people, because such a grand entourage and escort armor made the people curious to stop and watch, when someone recognized that the leader was the lord of Jingzhou, there were bold people who said hello loudly, and there was a chain effect, and the voice of greetings along the way continued, showing the people's aspirations, Wang Xu also smiled and kept waving in response.

It was not until the evening that Wang Xu invited the envoys to the general's palace for dinner, accompanied by the civil ministers and military generals of Jingzhou. Mei Ji danced with the sound of silk and bamboo, which made the atmosphere of the banquet even more warm, and also showed that the relationship between the two families of Sun Wang continued to heat up, and it was the honeymoon period.

The wine was in full swing, and after Sun Ce dealt with the toasters, he suddenly got up and interrupted: "Princess, listen to me!" ”

Although his face was flushed from a lot of wine, his voice was still loud at the moment, overpowering the soft music and the noise of the staggered noise, and the hall was quiet for a while.

Seeing his eyes, Wang Xu waved his hand to order the dancing girl to retreat, and then smiled: "Bo Fu said that it doesn't hurt. ”

"Brother, don't hide it, this time my father ordered me to come, in addition to Ji Hu marrying my sister, there is another thing to entrust!" Sun Ce smiled with a smile.

"Oh?" Wang Xu's heart tightened, and he hesitated a little and said, "What does Wentai have to say?" ”

Sun Ce smiled mysteriously, but he didn't rush to say it.

Wang Xu was worried, it was nothing, but he had a ghost in his heart, the extra Jiang Wu under Liu Miao was none other than Guo Jia, who faked his death and escaped, and the purpose was to obstruct Sun Jian's unification of Jiangdong as much as possible, so that Jingzhou had enough time to rest assured that he would benefit the state. Although I believe that Guo Jia must know how to avoid the people he knows, hide behind the scenes, and will not appear in front of the people in Jiangdong, it is really panicked. Once such things are exposed, the consequences are unimaginable.

Immediately pretended to be calm and picked up the wine bottle, did not face Sun Ce, and drank slowly.

Seeing this, Sun Ce no longer played dumb riddles, and spoke endlessly: "My father has a daughter, who is my sister, born to my second mother, a few months younger than my brother Sun Quan, and now she is 13 years old, and she has not yet decided on her family. My father intends to marry my sister to my brother as his second wife, and the two families are close to each other and take care of each other with all sincerity, in order to plan for great things together, I don't know if my brother is willing! ”

As soon as the words fell, Wang Xu's eyes widened, and the wine that had just been swallowed in his throat was already spurting out. "Sun Shangxiang?"

"Huh?" Sun Ce was stunned and said in astonishment: "My sister is rarely seen in front of people, why does my brother know her name?" ”

"Oh! This ah......" Wang Xu reacted quickly, hurriedly wiped the wine stains from his mouth, and said with a smile: "Your brothers and sisters have known about it from others many years ago. ”

Sun Ce didn't doubt him, after all, there were a lot of people who knew about their brother and sister's cunzài. But Wang Xu's heart was suddenly stunned, and thousands of thoughts flashed in his mind: What is this, Sun Jian's purpose is clear, it must be to see that he has pacified Jingzhou and the climate has been achieved, so he has deepened the relationship between the two families. Obviously, with the change of the current situation, the marriage between Wang Meng and Sun Jian's daughter alone was no longer enough to further promote it, so he hit the idea on his head.

In any case, if this family affair is decided, with Sun Shangxiang's age, he will not marry until he is at least 15 years old before he becomes an adult, then the next two years will be another period of close cooperation, and the most important thing is that even if it is about a year after marriage, it will be difficult to clash head-on. The best result is to be able to maintain it for a long time, which also gives the Sun family the most precious time to grow, it can be seen that Jingzhou's rapid and strong development, Sun Jian also began to be deeply jealous, this move definitely has the meaning of lowering his body and taking the initiative to maintain the relationship.

It's just that he sacrificed his daughter, Sun Jian really has enough money, but I think it's also because in private, he agrees with my character and ability.

Thinking of this, Wang Xu smiled bitterly, Sun Jian's move was so bad that he couldn't rub his hands. Not to mention that with Xu Shu, Diao Chan, Zhao Yu, and Cai Yan, they are already very satisfied, but the involvement of Yan Ming in the north has not been resolved, and he really has no heart to contaminate more emotional matters, not to mention that it is so endless, how Xu Shu thinks is very problematic, you must know that Xu Shu and his two lives, life and death depend on each other, and they have long been the same person, and that status is unshakable in his heart.

Another point is that this Sun Shangxiang is so young, even after two years of adulthood, he will only have a child in his heart. After all, he is not a complete ancient, and it is really difficult to accept it, and when he is 13 years old, he has just just graduated from the sixth grade of primary school? This has to be done, and in the afterlife it will be a negative example -- a typical example of a beast.

But what if you refuse? There will inevitably be a rift in the alliance between the two sides, and Sun Jian will also have more doubts and vigilance about himself, there will be no burden of male and female feelings in his mind, let alone the burden of age, even if he tells him, he will never believe it. This move was an implicit jewel, he believed that he understood what he meant, and the rejection was not only a rejection of marriage, but a rejection of him. What's more, if you don't want to send your beloved daughter to the door unconditionally, what will you want from him?

Once this misunderstanding arises, it will inevitably find ways to prevent itself from becoming stronger, and the contradiction can even make the two sides quickly move towards hostility.

The more Wang Xu's head thought about it, the more painful it became, it was difficult to ride a tiger, and it was a complete mess. I never thought that when I still had a choice between doing this beast and not doing it, it felt like someone was standing there with strong strength, pulling out a sharp knife and asking: "Do you do this beast or not, we are a family if it is a beast, and we will see you on the battlefield if it is not a beast...... (To be continued......)
