Chapter 145: The Ending
Zhou Yu watched all this quietly, and in his calm and deep eyes, there was a dark and endless abyss.
Qiao Wan knew that his calm was the calm before the storm, and Jiangdong was about to rain heavily.
That man had come for their mother and daughter.
Even though she was grief-stricken in her heart, she didn't even dare to cry because of this, and she cheered up to handle the aftermath for Xun'er, decorate the coffin, and escort her back to her homeland in Lujiang.
As soon as I closed my eyes at night, it was all Xun'er's voice and smile, and the little boy with a tiger's head stood by the swing and called her "sister", his small body was shrouded in the sun, just like his bright life.
Tears flowed silently all over her face like a river bursting the embankment, turned around, and carefully poured out the grief in her heart, not daring to disturb the person beside her, she knew that he was not asleep, and she kept his eyes open until dawn every night, and she did not dare to inflict his pain on him with her own sadness.
It wasn't until the coffin was sealed that Zhou Yu really realized that his son was really gone, and he was forever separated from yin and yang. He stood there in a daze, his heart was numb, he had long felt no pain, only his eyes were dry, his throat was uncomfortably blocked, and there was a strong sense of drive in his chest, ordering that he must give an explanation to his son underground.
Returning to Wu with his troops, Zhou Yu went straight to the palace of Wu with an army of 50,000, taking all the evidence and physical evidence collected these days, and vowed to clean up the portal.
When Sun Bin cried and ran back to beg him that day, Sun Quan already knew that there would be such a day. Murder pays for life, Yu Li He doesn't want to protect Sun Bin, but he only has one sister, two younger sisters, the eldest princess died in childbirth a few years ago, and the younger sister Sun Ren was married to Liu Bei by him last year.
"Gongjin, if you have something to say." Looking at the black and oppressive soldiers outside the palace, Sun Quan felt a little uncomfortable.
Zhou Yu didn't say a word, presented the human and physical evidence to the court, and said resolutely: "What is the matter, the lord must already know very well, if I, as a father, can't avenge my son, I will no longer have the face to live in this world." ”
Sun Quan said: "Gong Jin, Xi'er, she was just confused for a while, and she never thought of killing Xun'er."
Zhou Yu's eyes were as cold as ice, "Then the lord thinks that if the people who died were my wife and daughter, this matter would be easy?" ”
Sun Quan almost pleaded, "I didn't mean that, she is my only sister, even if you don't look at my face, please spare her life for the sake of Brother Bo Fu!" ”
Zhou Yu swallowed the saliva in her throat heavily, "Killing people pays for her life, this is the consequence she must bear." ”
Sun Quan was silent for a long time, and finally hid the different color in his eyes, raised his head and said loudly, "Come on, go to Zihua Palace and bring the second princess to me!" ”
Zhou Yu clenched his fists expressionlessly and thanked: "Thank you Lord Tiemian for his selflessness." ”
Sun Quan clenched his fists, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.
Since he ascended the throne ten years ago, it was Zhou Yu who taught him how to establish a solid foundation and how to sweep away external worries and internal troubles. For so many years, he fought everywhere for Jiangdong, winning many battles, and he lost Hefei three times, and he was useless in defeat. The generals of Jiangdong have long been destined for Zhou Yu, treating Zhou Yu as their lord, saying that he doesn't mind at all, that is false. And today, Zhou Yu wants to kill his sibling sister, but he can't do anything.
At this moment, he finally realized that this Jiangdong was no longer surnamed Sun.
After a while, several eunuchs pushed the trembling Sun Bin to the front of the hall, Sun Bin was already frightened, and saw that Zhou Yu could only scream and scream.
"Sun Bin, I won't kill innocents indiscriminately." Zhou Yu made a cold sound in his throat, waved his big hand, and immediately pushed the old mother who was kneeling on the ground, and the old mother immediately explained the whole story of the poisoning, and explained clearly how Sun Xi coerced and lured her daughter who was on an errand in the Wu Palace, how to ask someone to send poison to her, the process of poisoning, etc.
And the corresponding personnel and physical evidence were also presented in front of the court at this moment.
Sun Xi was speechless, and gradually stopped crying, and looked at Zhou Yu blankly, with no waves in his eyes.
"If I had a choice, I would never have seen you when I was fifteen."
After she finished speaking calmly, she broke free from the shackles of the eunuch beside her, and rushed to the pillar with all her strength, and the hall "banged" loudly, and the ground even shook, and then everything in heaven and earth returned to silence.
Sun Quan looked at his sister's bleeding corpse, and couldn't help but cry, "Are you satisfied now?!" He couldn't control his emotions and yelled at Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu looked away, didn't look at her flesh and blood on the ground, turned around and walked out of the cold hall in a daze. The sun outside the hall was just right, and he didn't feel that he stopped and looked up, but he couldn't see the haze in his heart.
Half a year later, Sun Quan agreed to the plan drafted by Zhou Yu and ordered him to personally lead his troops to the battle; At the same time, he "loaned" Jingzhou, which Zhou Yu had fought for a year, to Liu Bei to take care of it temporarily, so as to consolidate the Sun-Liu alliance.
When Zhou Yu got this expedition order, he couldn't help laughing sarcastically.
He proposed to Sun Quan a long time ago the idea of "dividing the world into two parts and conquering Bashu", Sun Quan has always refused on the pretext of long distances and lack of military salaries, and now, he disagreed early and late disagreed, but at this time he agreed, and agreed when he "lent" Jingzhou, which he had worked so hard to even take desperately, to Liu Bei.
Sun Quan did not adopt his opinion at all, he insisted on supporting Liu Bei's forces and fighting Cao Cao together, but promised to let him lead his troops west to attack Shu.
Zhou Yu has already seen through these two contradictory lines, one of which will be cut halfway, and he can feel that he will no longer be the one who is chosen.
A capable minister with different political views but full of wings will never have a good ending.
But Sun Quan was not afraid that he would be broken, and even dared to hand over the tiger talisman to him. With an army in hand, whether it is usurping or self-reliance, it is easy for him.
What is he betting on?
"Gong Jin, this time the outfit is all done." A soft voice beside him interrupted his thoughts.
Qiao Wan walked over with a smile on his face, stood on tiptoe and straightened his slightly messy neckline, "It's far away to go to the land of Bashu, so take good care of yourself on the way." ”
"Won't you come with me?" He looked slightly sad.
Qiao Wan lowered his head shyly, was embarrassed for a while, stood on tiptoe and whispered a few words in his ear.
"How many months?!" Zhou Yu was surprised and delighted.
"The doctor said, just over a month, the fetal elephant is still unstable, and the land of Bashu is difficult and difficult, I still don't want to go, wait for your good news at home"
Before he finished speaking, his feet were light, and he lifted him up and hugged him, turning in circles excitedly.
"Put me down," she kept pounding his chest, "fainting!" ”
He hugged her tightly excitedly, "Guan'er, do you know how happy I am"
Qiao Wan smiled, looked at him with sweet eyes and said, "I take good care of my two children at home, take good care of myself and the baby in my womb......"
"Pack your bags and set off with the kids." He said in a cold voice suddenly.
Her face froze, and she frowned unconsciously: "Go to war, what are you doing with your family?" ”
Zhou Yu looked at her with a serious expression, "I will find two children of the same age to live in the house pretending to be Yin'er and Xiangmo, you quietly take them with me, and I will explain the specific reasons to you." ”
Qiao Wan saw that he didn't seem to be joking, so he nodded hurriedly.
The Metropolitan Governor led 20,000 soldiers to the battle, and the mighty team traversed the entire Wu County City, and he still took Qiao Wan with the army, and their husband and wife have always been like this since the Red Cliff War, and everyone is used to it, and they don't feel any fuss.
"Lord, do you really want to take this risk?" The prime minister looked at this black army like a mountain, worried.
"There is no turning back from the bow." Sun Quan stood beside him, said lightly, and said again: "If he is not Gongjin, why should I be so troublesome?" ”
"You're not afraid of him......"
Sun Quan smiled slightly, "He won't." ”
Soon, on the way to conquer Bashu, Zhou Yu's arrow wound recurred and died in Baqiu, and his wife Xiao Qiao did not know what to do.
