Chapter 398: Big Tiger Princess

Sun Luban was very angry, especially when he heard the name Wei Ba.

As the eldest daughter of King Wu and the eldest daughter of Mrs. Bu, who is now the most favored, Sun Luban has never been wronged. She grew up in the care of the stars holding the moon, she is noble, and she is beautiful, from King Wu himself, down to everyone who has seen her, there is no one who does not like her, and no one will make her unhappy.

Because of King Wu's favor, she was a child, and the suave Zhou Xun became her husband, and when she reached the age of starting a family, she couldn't marry a wife and have children, and she couldn't even take a concubine, so she could only keep her body like a jade and wait until she was sixteen years old. The day she got married was her happiest day. Zhou Xun was eight years older than her, and was already a twenty-four-year-old young man at that time, and he was one of the few talented people in the Wu Kingdom, even if he did not mention his famous father, with his own talent and appearance, he was also a very ideal husband.

However, the good times did not last long, less than a year after getting married, Zhou Xun fell ill and died, she became a widow, and what is even more tragic is that she did not even have a son and a half daughter. Although the people of the Zhou family did not express any dissatisfaction, she knew very well that the Zhou family regretted this family affair. If he hadn't wanted to marry her, Zhou Xun would have been able to marry a wife and have children, so that he wouldn't even have no descendants.

After not having a comfortable time in the Zhou family, Sun Luban returned to the palace. She didn't want to see Aunt Qiao's beautiful but sad face.

was widowed at a young age, Sun Luban felt very uncomfortable, especially when one of her two younger sisters got married and the other was about to get married, she couldn't be lost. But the good news came immediately. Wu will make peace with Shu, and she will marry Wei Ba, the second son of Wei Yan, the general of Zhenbei, who has recently become famous in Shu.

Sun Luban is no stranger to Wei Ba. Last year, the Northern Expedition of Shu Han seized Guanzhong in one fell swoop, shook the world, and changed the strength of the Three Kingdoms in one fell swoop. In the first half of this year, the three countries fought in Xiangyang. Wei Ba is even more in the limelight. Not only did Lian Ke Wei defeat Fancheng, but also made Lu Xun, the most admired famous general of Wu State, have a blue nose and swollen eyes, and lose face. Of course, what impressed Sun Luban the most was that her younger brother Sun Shu also died on the battlefield. Died under the iron hooves of the Wei army.

His father, Sun Quan, almost went crazy because of this. Every time Wei Ba is mentioned, it is no longer envious. It's even more hatred of gnashing teeth. While Sun Luban also resented Wei Ba, he became more and more curious, what kind of young man could have such clever means. The monarchs and ministers of Wei and Wu are all played in the palm of their hands. He is so young, even younger than when his uncle Sun Ce and his uncle Zhou Yu were crisscrossing Jiangdong side by side. At such an age, he can achieve such an achievement, and as far as Sun Luban knows, it seems that there are few people who can compare with him.

So when he learned that he was going to marry such a person, Sun Luban fell into boundless happiness again. She felt that she was the luckiest person, having just lost a husband who was one in a million, and then another husband who was unparalleled in the world.

However, as if God was also a little jealous of her, this happiness came even more short-lived, and even before it arrived, it became a shame: Wei Ba actually refused to make peace, and even Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu, had nothing to do, so he had to change the person who was close to him to Liu Yong, the king of Lu.

For his father, Sun Quan, this result is not bad, but for Sun Luban, this is tantamount to a bolt from the blue, and it is also an unacceptable great shame.

The name Wei Ba has since become a thorn in Sun Luban's heart, she gritted her teeth when she thought of this name, and she wanted to cut Wei Ba with a thousand knives and break his body into thousands of pieces. The dignified princess of Wu Guo married you, that is your blessing, you dare to refuse to marry? Wei Ba, I must make you regret this decision for the rest of your life.

From that day on, Sun Luban had to think about how to humiliate Wei Ba. When he learned that Wei Ba was about to arrive in Xiling, Sun Luban was overjoyed, but not because he was about to get married, but because he could finally take revenge.

Sun Luban is not a reckless person, and she does not show any signs of arousing suspicion. She dressed herself up beautifully, dignified and decent, sat there with a straight neck and a straight back, smiled without showing her teeth, and was beautiful without losing the demeanor of a princess.

Except for an anachronistic short knife in the wide sleeve.

No one knows what she is going to do, except for her best friend who has been with her, Sun Xi's fiancΓ©e Pan Ziyu, who has not yet passed the door. Pan Ziyu is the daughter of the Fenwei general Pan Jun, who just married Sun Jian last year, and if it wasn't for the delay in the war, they would have been married. Because of this war, she lost her husband before she could cross the door.

Although the reasons are different, she naturally has a common language with Sun Luban. It's just that she doesn't have the courage of Sun Luban, and she actually wants to take revenge on Wei Ba with her own hands.

Looking at Sun Luban, who was full of ambition, Pan Ziyu was very worried. "Princess, that thief is a ruthless person, according to the sister of the Lu family, not only the father and son of the Pan family suffered from him, but even General Lu himself made such careful arrangements, Zuihou was still poisoned by him. You are a weak woman, can you do it? ”

Sun Luban raised his eyebrows: "Who said that what a man can't do, a woman must not be able to do?" Ziyu, it's not that I'm talking about you, you're okay with everything else, or you're a little timid. This is the territory of my Wu Kingdom, what are you afraid of him doing? Kill him, will Zhuge Liang still avenge him? Not to mention that Shu Han doesn't have this liliang, even if he does, Zhuge Liang probably doesn't have that heart. ”

Pan Ziyu nodded silently. The contradictions within Shu Han have been instilled in her many times by Sun Luban these days.

"By the way, how is General Ling Zun Fenwei's official business? When are you going back? ”

"I don't know, I haven't seen my father in a few days." Pan Ziyu frowned lightly and sighed softly: "It seems that there is another war." ”

"What's so bad about fighting?" Sun Luban said with a smile: "Those disobedient barbarians, they want to fight, they want to kill, and if they don't let them know that they are powerful, they will not be honest." ”

"The princess is right, but I am always afraid of the danger of war." Pan Ziyu sighed and frowned. Sun Wei's death has cast too many shadows on her. Staying by the king's side would be in danger of dying in battle. What's more, it's on the front line? Her sigh made Sun Luban very depressed, if it weren't for pity for what happened to her, I was afraid that Sun Luban would drive her out.

A maid walked in and saluted cautiously: "Princess, Shu Han's welcoming boat is about to dock, and the general has already gone to the river to greet you." ”

Sun Luban touched the handle of the short knife in his sleeve and said lightly: "Come on, it's coming, what's all the fuss." Go, find out, where they will stay. Especially the one named Wei Ba. Look at what he looks like. ”

"Whoa." The maid saluted and withdrew.

Pan Ziyu looked at Sun Luban and asked again, "Princess, do you really want to do this?" ”

"Don't ask." Sun Luban shook his somewhat sore neck: "This matter has nothing to do with you." Success or failure. It's all my business. ”

Pan Ziyu heard Sun Luban's displeasure. I didn't dare to ask any more.

……

Wei Ba and the others passed through the stormy Three Gorges, and finally safely docked outside Xiling City, towering Wushan. The winding mountains of Daba were left behind, and in front of them were endless plains except for some low hills. In the field, the golden rice reminds people that the harvest season is coming, but the number of rice fields is too small, but there are more along the banks of the river, and the farther place is the green of the barren grass. It can be seen that the impact of the war at the beginning of the year on Xiling's agricultural time cannot be ignored.

It was the right general and the left protector who came to greet him, and the Marquis of Linxiang Buqi. Buqi is in his fifties, with a Chinese face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a dignified appearance, and a short beard neatly kept, adding a bit of prestige to his elegance.

Under the recommendation of Zhang Wen and Fei Yi, Bu Qi and Liu Yan greeted each other, Wei Ba was a junior, and he could only wait for them to finish the salute before stepping forward to salute. Bu Qi looked at Wei Ba carefully for a long time, but he didn't say anything, just returned the gift with a little reserve, and warmly invited Liu Yan to get in the car and go back to the city.

For Bu Qi's coldness, Wei Ba didn't care. Now that he is in danger, his main concern should be safety, and it doesn't matter if Bu Qi is polite to him or not. He boarded the car, Dunwu followed the car, Wang Shuang rode a war horse, led fifty soldiers, and Zhao Tong led fifty spearmen side by side. The two hundred tigers were divided into two columns and guarded on both sides of the carriage. They want to protect not only Wei Ba, but also Liu Yan, a later general. What Wei Ba really relied on was not them, but the military soldiers and the spearmen of the Zhao family.

Xiling City is the eastern fortress of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, and it is also the west gate of Wu State, after Lu Xun defeated Liu Bei, he has been guarding here and operating for many years. Although Liu Yan and Wei Ba did not bring all the people ashore, there were more than 800 people, but Buqi still arranged an independent camp for them in the city, and it did not look cramped at all.

As soon as they arrived at the camp, Wei Ba and Zhao Tong were busy arranging guards. This matter should have been arranged by the chief officer Liu Yan, but in addition to Liu Yan's face and being able to speak, the fact of leading troops is limited, for the sake of safety, Wei Ba took the initiative to take on the task of setting up camp despite being very wary of Liu Yan. After being reborn, the first major thing he encountered was to prepare a camp for Zhuge Liang's Northern Expeditionary Army, at that time, his father Wei Yan taught him the precautions, and now he is very handy in doing these things, even Zhao Tong saw it, and he was full of praise, and he couldn't find any fault.

Wei Ba arranged the guard at the camp gate, and walked up to the watchtower in the camp with Zhao Tongqi, looked around, and checked the layout of Xiling City. This watchtower is probably specially arranged by Buqi, and it is not as high as the city wall, so what can be seen is really limited.

"If you want to see clearly, you have to get there." Wei Ba pointed to the tallest building in the city and said jokingly.

Zhao Tong glanced at it, smiled and shook his head: "That's impossible, not to mention that it is the place where Buqi governs, and now it is the place where the princess of Wu Guo lives, how can you and I go up casually?" ”

Hearing the words Princess Wu Guo, Wei Ba couldn't help but want to laugh. He was about to tell Zhao Tong that Liu Yong was about to kill him for this princess, when a waiter from Wu came from outside the camp gate and said a few words to the soldier guarding the door, and the soldier trotted all the way over.

"Shizhong, General Bu wants to summon you to discuss the matter of welcoming your relatives." (To be continued......)
