Meng You held a strong bow, his arms were steady, just waiting to get closer, and after he had a greater certainty, he would shoot an arrow, and as long as he could kill Sun Quan here. The Eastern Wu and the Celestial Empire must be as powerful as fire and water, and at that time, the Shu Kingdom can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger, and take advantage of it.

The boat was getting closer and closer, and Sun Quan finally raised his head in contemplation, and when he could see the person rowing the boat and swinging the rudder, his brows couldn't help but frown slightly.

Since he was a child, he has lived in the land of Jiangdong, and the Dongwu Navy does not know how many times he has been there, and over time, he has long had a habitual judgment on the analysis of the real and rudder water. For example, there is no one who walks by the river that does not have dark skin, which is the result of the perennial river breeze.

But on the contrary, the skin of the two rowing men on the boat is indeed much whiter and tenderer in comparison, how can this not make people suspicious?

Sun Quan was already suspicious, and when he saw that there seemed to be something wrong with the boatman on the small boat, he immediately retreated, retreated to the side of the healthy horse, and then asked loudly, "Who are you waiting for?" Where is home? ”

Sun Quanzhiyan deliberately brought some Jiangdong flavors, he just wanted to see if these were fishermen near the riverside, after all, they lived here all the year round, and they knew a little about the local dialect.

With this temptation, Meng You in the ship felt that something was wrong. Although he also knows a lot about Chinese culture, he is still far from understanding dialects. Now when he heard Sun Quan shouting something, he really didn't understand. Instinctively told him that something wasn't right. At that moment, his arm strength tightened and loosened, and the arrow from the string flew out.

"Whew!"

The arrow flew out of the cabin and headed straight for Sun Quan.

Sun Quan, who was defenseless at all, was immediately hit by an arrow, but fortunately, with the blockade of a healthy horse, the arrow did not hit the vital part, but only shot on the arm.

Suddenly, Sun Quan felt a burst of pain in his body, but at this time, he really didn't care so much, he wanted to get on the horse and leave. For by this time the boat had come to shore, and from there came several men of sturdy figures.

At this time, how could Sun Quan not see that these people were killers who wanted to take their lives, and when they abandoned their horses and turned around, they fled, and while fleeing, they did not forget to analyze the identity of the killer in their hearts.

It is said that Zhang Chao let him go, so he shouldn't be a killer in pain. Besides, even if you want to kill yourself, why do you have to wait until the river is moving, and there is a chance to do it along the way. And if Zhang Chao didn't want to kill him, who would it be?

Sun Quan didn't think that it was the people of Jiangdong who wanted to take his life, not to mention that he had never offended anyone. Let's just say that there is no one in Jiangdong who has such courage.

But if the Celestial Empire and Jiangdong are excluded, only Xishu will remain, could it be that they want to assassinate themselves, but they always need a reason, right?

As soon as he thought of the reason, Sun Quan couldn't help but think of the phrase watching the tiger fight from a mountain. At the moment, I knew in my heart that it must be Xishu who wanted to kill himself, and then blame the Celestial Empire and lead the two countries to war, so they should reap the benefits.

Sun Quan was running and thinking, but when he didn't think about it, a clod of soil knocked it to the ground, and when he stumbled, he fell to the ground.

Taking advantage of this effort, five strong men behind him had already caught up and surrounded him.

Holding a sword in his hand, Sun Quan stood up with the great pain in his arm, and then glared at the five people and asked in ordinary Chinese, "Who are you, and why did you kill Prince Ben?" ”

If it was someone else, Ruo Xu would choose to do it directly. But as the younger brother of Meng Huo, the king of the Southern Barbarians, Meng You still has his own pride. In his opinion, being able to rob and kill Sun Quan, thus causing a war between the Celestial Empire and Eastern Wu, would definitely be a great achievement. And if such a credit is taken by oneself, it is inevitable to say something, otherwise wouldn't it be too boring?

"Hehe, you are Sun Quan, the second prince of Eastern Wu. I think you are also a man, and I will let you die today. Remember, my name is Meng You, and I am the younger brother of Meng Shu, the king of the Southern Barbarians, and this time I came to send you back to the west on the order of the prime minister. After saying this, Meng You still laughed out loud, and he was about to do something that could shock the world, which really made him feel happy.

"Sure enough, it's a person from Xishu." After hearing Meng You's self-report, Sun Quan felt a chill in his heart. What he didn't expect was that Zhang Chao, as an opponent, could let himself go, but on the contrary, Shu State, which was an ally when he opened his mouth to avoid speaking, was indeed going to trap himself to death. If he had known that this was the case, he should have contacted the Jiangdong agents as soon as possible, and they would escort him back. It's good now, for the sake of a so-called face that can't be seen and touched, now it's really unwilling, and now it's really unwilling.

Meng You, who reported his name, felt that the hour was almost up, so he immediately raised his knife and slashed straight at Sun Quan's body.

"When." The sword in his hand was horizontal, blocking the knife, but after doing this, Sun Quan's footsteps were vain again, and he took two steps back.

Although he has also practiced martial arts since he was a child, when it comes to being compared with a barbarian like Meng You, his strength is still too far behind.

"Yes, there are still some skills, but it's not enough. In this way, I will send you on your way, and I will think of burning you a pillar of incense on this day next year. After trying a trick, Meng You also knew the reality of Sun Quan, and his heart was determined at the moment, and after a roar, he raised his arm and waved the second knife.

Seeing the knife falling and the wind rising, Sun Quan at this moment didn't even have a chance to return the knife, he could only watch the knife fall straight towards his body, instinctively, he closed his eyes, and was even more remorseful in his heart, regretting everything he had done to save face and lose his life.

"Woooo

Sun Quan was still closing his eyes and waiting for the pain of the sword and axe, until the sound of the bow and crossbow piercing sounded in his ears, and he didn't care, but when his eyes were closed for a while, but he didn't wait for the feeling of the long knife to add to his body, he raised his head and saw everything in the emptiness around him.

It's as if everything that just happened was a dream. But it wasn't until he lowered his head down that he saw Meng You and the other five killers who were killed by an arrow. I saw that almost everyone was hit by an arrow in the throat, especially that Meng You, who was even more wide-eyed and unwilling.

In the distance, there were already more than a dozen figures rushing quickly, until there were still five or six steps away from Sun Quan's place, the leader of the person held his sword and hugged his fist and said: "Worried about the second prince, Huang Xu is here to ask for guilt." ”

The person who came was Huang Xu, the commander of the Dragon Battalion. The existence of this predecessor, known as the Zhangjia Special Army, is not very numerous, but in terms of combat power, it is indeed invincible. Especially like attacking with a bow and arrow, it was practiced to the point of 100 shots earlier.

Huang Xu appeared here, naturally he was ordered by Zhang Chao and escorted all the way. It was only in order to prevent Sun Quan from discovering that the tracking distance was kept a little farther away. I didn't want to encounter Meng You's surprise attack, but fortunately, Sun Quan coped with it for a while, otherwise, I am afraid that even if I can kill the killer, it will be difficult to save Sun Zhongmou's life.

"You are from the Celestial Empire?" How could Sun Quan at this meeting not know that it was the emperor of the Celestial Empire who saved his life, so in this way, he was equivalent to owing two lives to others.

"Exactly. Please forgive the second prince, after coming out of Jinyang City, I have been following you, but I am afraid that you will be inconvenient, so I followed from a distance, so that I almost couldn't rescue just now, so that the second prince was injured, and please punish you. Huang Xu lowered his head again. But at the same time, my heart was sweating. Just now, he was almost succeeded by the killer, if this is the case, I am afraid that he will not have the shame to see the emperor, so he can only apologize for his crimes.

"It's okay, it's okay, everything is my sin, and I still want to thank you here, otherwise I'm afraid I'd be dead now." Sun Quan also slowly woke up from fear.

"Thank you, Second Prince." Huang Xu was relieved when he heard that Sun Quan did not intend to punish the crime, and then raised his head, and after seeing the five killers who fell to the ground and died, his eyes showed a puzzled look and said: "I just don't know who these people are, why did they do such a robbery and killing?" ”

"Humph! The leader is Meng You, and his brother is Meng Shu, the king of the Southern Barbarians, this time he came to rob and kill the prince on the order of the Prime Minister of Western Shu, just to let Eastern Wu go to war with the Celestial Empire. When he said this, Sun Quan was naturally angry, and then thought about it and said: "I want to trouble General Huang to cut off this person's head, I will bring it to my father and let him see what the so-called allies are." ”

......

Jianye City, the right army division Zhang Zhao Fuzhong.

In the study, Zhang Zhao watched the housekeeper send people away, and looked at the ten boxes of gold and silver treasures left in the courtyard, and his heart was fluctuating.

Just now, the Celestial Empire sent a secret envoy to come, and after sending ten boxes of treasures, he left without saying a word, not even a small request.

It's just that although the other party didn't say anything, Zhang Zhao still knew the meaning of the comer, so his originally somewhat tangled heart now didn't know what to do.

The second prince Sun Quan secretly attacked the Celestial Empire, and he really didn't want to become a prisoner, and not long ago, it was rumored that the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty let Sun Quan go, which seemed to indicate that the Celestial Empire did not want to fight with Eastern Wu. But until now, the second prince has never returned, and this has become an unsolved case, which makes the current Soochow a bit of a dilemma, and it is not to fight, and it is not to fight.

As the main peace faction, Zhang Zhao naturally did not want a war. Because once a war starts, you don't know how much food you need, and at that time, it is the people who suffer.
