Chapter Eighty-Four: The Gift
After three days in a coma, Sun Ce finally woke up.
Bai Tu has also always ordered that the supervision of Zhou Yu and Sun Ce should always be kept to a minimum, and it is not even house arrest.
Not only can Zhou Yu enter and leave the prepared mansion at will, but even the three or five cronies who crossed the river together can also go out to find out the news at this time!
Not to mention Zhou Yu, Bai Tu believes that with Sun Ce's character, even if he really wants to leave, he is bound to come to him first to resign, and he will never say goodbye.
Lu Su had already tested Zhou Yu, and he also understood that his brother Gongjin would never turn his back on Sun Ce and take refuge in Bai Tu, so before Sun Ce woke up, Bai Tu did not specifically see him.
It wasn't until he learned the news that Sun Ce woke up that Bai Tu went to visit, and Zhou Yu was also in the room at this time.
"Thank you Bai Gong for saving your life, and I feel five guilty." When Sun Ce saw Bai Tu coming in, he quickly got up and said.
When he was attacking Lujiang and chasing all the way before, he still shouted "Bai Tu", but now he was rescued by Bai Tu, Sun Ce looked very confused.
"Bo Fu doesn't need to be polite, he just doesn't want the hero chosen by the overlord's remnants to die in the hands of the villain." Bai Tu said.
Bai Tu is a pure and considerate person, so he doesn't think that in the previous recital to the imperial court, when reporting this matter, there is anything wrong with calling him "Xiang Ji", and now facing Sun Ce and honoring him as "Overlord".
Xiang Yu is a name, the word Yu, in the official documents, Xiang Yu is not allowed to use an honorific title, must be called his name "Xiang Ji", this is the rule set by Han Gaozu.
However, in Jiangdong, there are still many overlord temples and overlord temples among the people, and no matter how much Liu Bang dislikes Xiang Yu, he must also focus on Huairou in Chudi, so he did not interfere too much with the spontaneous behavior of the people in Jiangdong.
This is also why after being blackened by the official blood of the Zhengshuo Dynasty for four hundred years, Xiang Yu can still have a mixed reputation in later generations, not as bad as Xia Wei and Shang Xuan.
It's just that the Chu ministers who dare to be the overlord in the recital have all been cleared out of the court, but when Gaozu was in the time, Chu ministers could be promoted one or two levels as long as they were willing to be called "Xiang Ji".
Sun Ce himself is a native of Jiangdong, and he inherited the overlord's legacy, so he naturally has some respect for Xiang Yu.
Bai Tu uses different names when calling Xiang Yu to different people, which reflects his thoughtfulness, not a two-faced knife, even if Yu Ji is here, Bai Tu dares to be open-minded...... Call out "King".
"And my promise to Bo Fu is still valid." Bai Tu said earnestly.
Sun Ce was very moved when he heard this, and he really couldn't wipe off his face and wanted to agree, but at this moment, Zhou Yu interjected: "Thank you Bai Gong for your kindness, but now that Yuan Shu has detained me and my righteous brother's clansmen, as well as the old generals, it is really not appropriate for me and my righteous brother to serve Bai Gong at this time." ”
Zhou Yu is certainly unwilling for Sun Ce to take refuge in others, but what he said is not all prevarication, now Cheng Pu and other Sun Jian's old departments, as well as the clansmen of the two families, have all been captured by Yuan Shu, for this kind of behavior that completely disregards face, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are resentful, but also helpless.
"Oh? Is there such a thing? Kindness...... So-and-so got it. By the way, after that, I asked someone to take 1400 years of ginseng from the treasury to replenish Bo Fu's body, and the two of you must take it for yourself at that time. Bai Tu seemed to think of something, and said with a slight movement in his eyes.
"It doesn't have to be! Bai Gong, I was only attacked when I inherited the overlord's relict armor before, so I suffered a backlash, but now I ......" Sun Ce hurriedly refused.
But Bai Tu said: "Then make up for Gongjin!" You see that his face is pale, and he needs to make up for it! ”
Zhou Yu: ......
After saying that, he didn't give the two of them a chance to refuse at all, and Bai Tu immediately turned around to make arrangements.
Not to mention Sun Ce, even Zhou Yu didn't understand for a while, what Bai Tu meant!
Also 400 years of ginseng? Is it so precise, do you want to brag so much?
Not long after, someone sent a sandalwood treasure box, and the person who sent it was no one else, it was Tai Shici.
"Ziyi, thank you for rescuing me before, and ...... in the future"
Before Sun Ce could wait for Sun Ce to "in the future", Tai Shici interrupted: "If the lord agrees with me to make a move, I will make a move, you don't have to thank me, this is the lord's 'cure' for you." ”
"We're not sick! Bai Gong ...... kindly," Sun Ce said helplessly.
"Ahem, Bo Fu and I already know what Bai Gong means, and General Taishi thanked Bai Gong on our behalf!" Zhou Yu looked at the treasure box and finally understood what Bai Tu was going to give.
The 400-year-old medicine that can "cure diseases" is indeed a cure for diseases, but it is for heart diseases.
After Tai Shici left, Sun Ce still had a headache and said: "Gong Jin, although Bai Gong is a person of faith, he is too anxious to give grace, right?" Hey, we're fine, what do you want ginseng for......"
Zhou Yu said: "Hey, we really have to admit this 'grace', if I expect it to be correct, it is a treasure to cure our current heart disease!" With that, he opened the box.
I saw a blue treasure light, revealing from the box!
"This is ......" Sun Ce naturally knew what this was, after all, this thing was still on him a few days ago.
Sun Ce had already discovered that the "heirloom jade seal" on his body was gone, but he was treated as two of them as "prisoners of war", which was normal.
What's more, this is not a thing of the Sun family, even from the perspective of Han Chen, if Bai Tu finds out this thing, it should be sent back to the imperial court, and there is no reason for them to continue to possess the jade seal.
Therefore, neither Sun Ce nor Zhou Yu mentioned this matter.
But he didn't expect Bai Tu to take the initiative to "return" the jade seal of the country?
When Sun Ce was still stunned, Zhou Yu stretched out his hand to close the treasure box, and at the same time explained: "Bai Gong heard that my two relatives, as well as General Cheng, were detained by Yuan Shu in Huainan, so he returned this artifact and wanted to come...... It's to imply that we can use this thing to exchange it with Yuan Shu! ”
The reason why he is making a fool of himself is that Sun Ce can also understand it - naturally it is to not have anything to do with this matter.
This kind of thing is to use the jade seal of the country to replace the rebellious ministers and thieves, and the white picture of the great sages of the world will naturally not do it!
Even so, Sun Ce was very moved, no matter how much Zhou Yu doubted Bai Tu's motives, in this matter, he could only say the word "obey" for Bai Tu's actions.
In order not to be his own general, even a few days ago, he was still an enemy, and he actually took out the jade seal of the country......
"Gong Jin, Bai Gong is so gracious, it's better for us to ......" Sun Ce was already shaken.
"Wait! There is no urgency in this matter, we ...... If you don't take Jiangdong, you can also go to Jingzhou, and you will have the opportunity to repay Bai Gong! Zhou Yu dissuaded.
Later, under the resentment of Yuan Shu and the guidance of Zhou Yu, Sun Ce wrote a vague hint that he would use the jade seal of the country in exchange for a letter from the old Jiangdong department and clan relatives, and send his henchmen to Huainan!
