After a long journey of more than ten days, the army finally entered the city of Wu County. Zhou Yu said to his wife and children: "I'll go to King Wu's palace first, and you follow Zhou Ping back to the house and wait for me."

Qiao Guan pleaded: "Let Guan'er accompany you, and I can take care of you." She knew he couldn't tell when he would be back.

Zhou Yu looked at her worriedly: "Your body is already weak, you have traveled for so long, let's go back and rest for a few days first, there will be someone to serve you in the Wu Palace."

Qiao Wan thought that she hadn't passed the door yet, her identity was embarrassing after all, and she couldn't insist anymore, so she took his hand, and the thousand words in her heart finally turned into only five words, and she said slowly: "Take care of yourself."

Zhou Yu nodded firmly at her and turned to leave.

I heard that he was in Wu County today, and the court was already full of ministers from all sides. Zhou Yu went to the mourning hall first, because the date of stopping the spirit had passed, and his brother had already been buried in the ground.

At this time, there was only a lonely tablet left, and he walked over and knelt down in a daze, carefully checking the words on it word by word, and finally burst into tears......

"Gong Jin." Kokuta came slowly.

Zhou Yu hurriedly wiped away her tears and got up to salute, but was stopped by Guotai, she looked sad, "Good boy, you are finally back." ”

Sun Quan, who came over together, respectfully saluted and said, "Zhongmou has seen the general."

Zhou Yu looked at this immature child, his eyes were slightly worried.

Guotai looked at Sun Ce's tablet and said leisurely: "When your brother was leaving, he handed over Jiangdong to Zhongmou, and asked Zhang Zhao if he was undecided on internal affairs, and Zhou Yu if he was undecided on foreign affairs, he hoped that you could assist his younger brother like he assisted him." Zhou Yu wanted to speak, but Guotai continued: "These days, we have been waiting for your arrival, just because we are worried that after the announcement of this edict, someone will take advantage of the unstable foundation of Zhongmou and raise an army to rebel."

Zhou Yu pondered for a while, and said: "Since it is the meaning of the elder brother, Zhou Yu will definitely do his best to assist the young master."

Guotai looked at him appreciatively, "In this way, Bo Fu is relieved." ”

Sun Quan solemnly saluted him and said, "Zhongmou pays homage to General Zhou Yu."

Guotai said: "Now the court is full of waiting ministers of civil and military affairs, I hope you can appease them."

Zhou Yu understood, nodded and said, "Guotai, please rest assured, Zhou Yu swears allegiance to the young master, and they will too."

After that, he retired the two and walked to the court.

The court was full of ministers, and when they saw him coming, they saluted and said, "I've seen the general."

Zhou Yu said sadly: "The ancestor passed away suddenly, I am as sad and indignant as you, but now the Quartet is unstable, and the princes of all parties are eyeing each other. When the ancestor was dying, he handed over the great cause of Jiangdong to the hands of his second brother Sun Quan, and I hope that you can do your best to assist the young master as much as I do, and have no regrets in life and death, and forever fix Jiangdong! ”

The hall exploded instantly, and Sun Jian's old department, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and the others breathed a sigh of relief, they didn't expect that Zhou Yu, who came back with the army, would make this decision, and looked at each other with satisfaction. There are also many people who are dissatisfied with this decision and have a lot of discussions, the new master of Jiangdong in their hearts, the only person who can lead Jiangdong is Zhou Yu. There are also people who want to take advantage of the competition between the two factions to seize power, and at this time they secretly gritted their teeth.

"We will do our best to assist the young master, have no regrets in life and death, and fix Jiangdong forever!" Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and others took the lead in clasping their fists and said.

"Do your best, assist the young master, have no regrets in life and death, and fix Jiangdong forever!" The crowd at the bottom gradually responded. In the end, it was in harmony and resounded throughout the hall.

Suddenly, a faceless minister stepped forward and knelt down, everyone stopped when they saw this, and after everyone was quiet, the man cried and said: "The first lord took his concubine Qiao to hunt together, Qiao Ying and the assassins killed the first lord together, took the opportunity to escape, please ask the metropolitan governor to avenge the first lord!"

Zhou Yu had inquired about the cause of his brother's death before, and Guotai's reply did mention that Bo Fu said on his deathbed that he was betrayed by the woman he loved the most, and Qiao's colluded with outsiders to assassinate him.

Zhou Yu replied: "Qiao's murder of my brother, even if I flee to the ends of the earth, I will arrest her back and give my brother an explanation."

The man said indignantly: "The Qiao clan still has an accomplice, I hope the Metropolitan Governor can deal with it impartially!"

Zhou Yu wondered: "Oh? Say it. ”

"The unmarried wife of the Metropolitan Governor is the sister of Qiao's mother, and the two of them are originally from other countries, and they have tried their best to lurk around the ancestor and the Metropolitan Governor, all for

One day, wait for the opportunity to kill the ancestor and the Grand Duke! ”

Zhou Yu's face was gloomy, and he said coldly: "Your Excellency, don't slander others with empty words and white teeth, you have to pay attention to evidence when you speak."

The man insisted: "The ancestor doted on Qiao's family, clothing, food, housing and transportation are inseparable, everyone here has seen Qiao's appearance, can the metropolitan governor let his wife come over and let everyone see her, to see if she and Qiao's are sisters."

Zhou Yu gradually turned around, this is a good game, today's situation, if Qiao Wan comes forward, he is only afraid of more evil and less auspicious, if he presses it down, he will fall into that person's trap. I don't know if the person who is dormant in the shadows is targeting Qiao Wan or him.

Zhou Yu pondered for a moment, and replied slowly and firmly: "The people around me, I have found out very clearly, she does have a sister who was lost in the war, and there has been no contact since then, and this matter has nothing to do with her.

As soon as the words fell, there was a commotion, and Cheng Pu stood up and said indignantly: "This matter is very important, the general should not cover the sky with one hand, could it be that the general is the mastermind behind the scenes?"

Zhou Yu clenched his fists, and still said with an unchanged face: "I am a brother and sister with the first master, everyone knows that after the first master was killed, I will abide by the last wish of the first master, and I will wholeheartedly help the young master, and the crime of killing the king and plotting rebellion, Zhou Yu will never dare to take it, and I hope that the old general will be clear-sighted, and he will not fall for the villain's plan to sow discord."

This clearly picked the words away, woke everyone up, and some people began to nod.

At this time, the two soldiers escorted Qiao Wan and threw him in front of the hall, Zhou Yu was instantly furious, and he shot the case: "You are so bold!"

Everyone exploded the pot, isn't this woman Qiao Wei who killed the mastermind and rebelled! They hadn't seen Qiao Wei a few times, and they only regarded Qiao Wan, who was eight or nine points similar to Qiao Wei in front of them, as Qiao Wei.

Everyone's anger was ignited to the extreme in an instant.

Cheng Pu glanced at the woman kneeling in the hall, and it was difficult to tell whether it was Qiao Wei or not for a while. Anyway, the two of them are not good things, these red faces and troubles, except for one less one.

One by one, the ministers said:

"The murderer is right in front of you, please avenge the ancestor of the general!

"If this woman is not removed for a day, Jiangdong will be restless for a day!"

"If the general insists on indulging in beauty, then he will abdicate as soon as possible to make way for Xian, don't miss the great cause of Jiangdong!"

……

Zhou Yu sneered, and said sharply: "The 20,000 army is waiting outside the palace gate at this time, today I want to see who can do something to my wife."

"Zhou Yu! Do you want to force the palace to fail? Cheng Pu shouted.

"Zhou Yu has no such intentions, he said from the beginning that he would do his best to assist the young master, but today someone wants to be unfavorable to my wife, and I have no choice but to get out."

The man said: "Everyone can see today, this woman is the demon girl, I hope the general is sober, don't be confused by beauty!"

Zhou Yu said: "It is inevitable that there will be people with similar appearances in this world, not to mention that Mrs. and Qiao's are siblings, and it is common sense that you can't tell the difference for a while." My wife has been inseparable from me for half a year, and Zhou Yu can testify that she has no contact with the favorite concubine of the ancestor thousands of miles away. ”

"General! Ask the general to think twice! Everyone thought that Zhou Yu was carried away by beauty, and they were determined to protect this demon girl.

Lu Meng stood up and said: "The generals misunderstood, this girl was rescued by the general two years ago, and she has been growing up in the army, and many soldiers of our army can testify."

"You are all Zhou Yu's henchmen, how can you believe what you say?"

"Do you also want to watch Zhou Yu being victimized by this demon girl?"

It's hard to get even.

Zhou Yu said with a straight face: "Right and wrong, Zhou Yu will definitely find out in the future, and he will never favor one person."

Lu Meng said again: "The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty." All of you here are the pillars of Jiangdong, you should understand this truth, do you have to force a woman who has done nothing wrong? ! ”

Lu Su also stepped forward and said: "Now it is obvious that there is a villain who is making an obstruction in it, so it is better to wait for the general to find out the truth and then deal with it impartially."
