Gong Jin defeated Nanjun, poisoned arrows, knowing that his time was short, he asked Lu Su to go to Jingzhou, and when he saw that they had no intention of returning, he designed to deceive, and heard that Mrs. Liu Bei was dead, so he wanted to marry Sun Shangxiang to Liu Bei and send Lu Fan as a messenger.

"My lord, Lu Fan, the envoy of Eastern Wu, asks to see me."

Liu Bei asked suspiciously, "What is he doing here?" Without waiting for them to come in, Kong Ming first guessed their intentions, "I'm afraid it's a lobbyist from Soochow, Liang will avoid it first, no matter what he says, he will accept it first, and then we will discuss." ”

Lu Fan came in with a smile and asked, "Uncle Huang, my lord Wu Hou greets Uncle Huang." Liu Bei politely gave up his seat, "Ziheng, please take a seat, did Ziheng bring any news?" ”

Lu Fan said his intention, "I'm here to congratulate the emperor!" Wu Hou heard that the imperial uncle had just been widowed, and he intended to marry his little sister to the imperial uncle! ”

Liu Bei said with resignation: "No, at my age, how can I be worthy of Wu Hou's young sister." ”

"Uncle Huang, age has never been an obstacle to marriage, the key is to be the right person, and the lord still wants to continue to maintain the Sun-Liu Alliance."

couldn't refuse, Liu Bei had no choice but to accept it first, "Then let me think about it again, and I will definitely give you an answer in a few days." ”

"No, the minister went back to his life first."

Liang who was hiding behind the screen laughed, "Congratulations to the lord, Mrs. Xide." Although Liu Bei wanted to marry such a young beauty, he was also worried that Dongwu's treacherous plan would succeed, "Isn't this Zhou Yu's treacherous plan?" ”

Kong Ming sold Guan Zi again, shook the feather fan gently, and already had a way in his heart, "Liang has a way to let the lord get his wife and keep Jingzhou safe." ”

"Strategist, this is true!"

"Of course, I'll let Sun Qian implement this matter immediately." Sun Gan was ordered by the military advisor to go to Soochow with Lü Fan, and when he saw Sun Quan, he said that Liu Bei was happy to accept this family affair, and asked Liu Bei to go to Soochow to complete the marriage one day.

"Don't worry, Liang has already made a plan, General Zhao will go with the lord, and follow the three strategies in Liang's bag prepared in advance."

Liu Bei looked at the window thoughtfully, this trip to Soochow must be very dangerous, I hope to be able to retreat with my whole body, and hold the best beauty, if not, I will ......

Liu Bei stepped on the boat to Dongwu with joy, and when he was about to reach the riverside, "You see, I came to Dongwu to get married, but there are very few people who come to greet me, and there must be something strange among them."

Zilong immediately opened the first bag, "Lord, after going ashore, we will buy fat powder, fabrics, refreshments, etc., and the band will wear red and hang colors, and distribute red envelopes along the way." ”

After going ashore, the band was grand, playing gongs and drums, very lively, the soldiers scattered copper coins along the way, and said while scattering,--Uncle Liu is going to marry the sister of Wu Hou, this is Uncle Huang's reward!" --Let the people of Nanxu know, and even the people of Jiankang know.

At this time, Dongwu was already well known, and Sun Xiaomei also heard the rumors of chasing after the wind and shadows, and found Zixuan, hoping to give advice.

"Zixuan has seen the county lord." Zixuan was dressed in blue, with a beautiful face and a heroic posture, and his thin figure looked even more upright against the backdrop of the clothes.

"Zixuan, you must know too." Sun Shangxiang is dressed in a pale pink skirt, taking advantage of her cute and cute, and usually likes to dance with knives and guns, which is a little more heroic.

"The second brother made a deal with my marriage, no, I want to go to him." It's useless to find Sun Quan's theory, he is already desperate, how can he listen to his sister?

"Don't panic, the county lord, I have three plans for the county lord to choose."

"Which three?"

pacing in the main hall, he said unhurriedly, "Down, the county lord is forced to die, like the lord will not bear to let the county lord die;

In the middle of the plan, the county lord can escape from Jiangdong, stay away from everything, and come back in a few years, and the lord will definitely accept the county lord with his affection for flesh and blood;

On the plan, let's go to Wu Guotai, let Guotai call the shots, Guotai loves the county lord, even the lord does not dare to disobey the Guotai, Zixuan dedicated three strategies to the county lord, please choose by yourself. ”

Sun Shangxiang thought for a while and said, "Okay, let's go find Guotai." "Saying that, Sun Shangxiang and Zixuan came to Guotai," Mother. When he saw Wu Guotai's grandson, Shangxiang, fell into his mother's arms and wept silently.

Wu Guotai was very happy when she saw her baby daughter, "Daughter, why are you crying so sadly?" ”

The little sister trayed out the situation, "Mother, brother and Zhou Yu did not hesitate to use my marriage as bait to deceive Liu Bei in order to return to Jingzhou, and now that Liu Bei is really here, do I really want to marry him?" ”

The more Guotai listened, the more confused she became, and she couldn't help but ask, "Wait, who are you listening to?" ”

Xiaomei said: "Now everyone in Jiankang knows about it. ”

Guotai was furious when she heard this, "Come on, call Sun Quan to me." ”

"No."

Wu Hou came soon, Wu Hou was very filial, but when he saw the little sister who was crying silently, he understood by the way, and asked in a low voice, "Mother, I don't know why I called the child here?" ”

Guotai said angrily: "Do you still have my mother in your eyes?" ”

"Child, panic." said kneeling in front of his mother, but his mother was also a poor woman, young and widowed, and then the eldest son also went, leaving only a pair of children, in addition to watching them grow up and become talents, only he knows the sadness.

Wu Hou didn't dare to say it loudly, lowered his head, and glanced at his mother a few times from time to time, like a child who made a mistake, "Mother, this is just Gong Jin's strategy." ”

"What a ploy"

"Gongjin just wants to trick Liu Bei and let Zhuge Liang exchange Jingzhou for it, not really marrying the little sister to him, please rest assured that the child will not marry the little sister to that person."

After Guotai heard this, she scolded Zhou Yu together, "Zhou Yu has no ability, he actually used my daughter as bait, and now the city is full of wind and rain, if he is killed, won't my daughter become a widow!" ”

"This... This..." Wu Hou knew that he had nothing to say, "Mother, you have come to this point, so you have to recruit Liu Bei as your son-in-law, so as not to be laughed at by the world." ”

"Shut up, that's not good, I have to see it first, and if I don't like it, you'll deal with it." Guotai didn't dare to refuse or agree easily, so he could only take one step at a time.

"Mother, I arranged for you to meet Liu Bei in Ganlu Temple." Sun Quan wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hmm."

Wu Hou sent Lu Su to entertain Liu Bei, arranged for Liu Bei and his party to rest in the post house, and met Liu Bei in Ganlu Temple early the next morning.

The night is as cold as water, I believe that few people can sleep peacefully tonight, Liu Bei is worried about whether Sun Quan will be unfavorable to him tomorrow, Sun Quan is worried about whether he can get rid of Liu Bei tomorrow, all is just a game between the two sides, and the losing side is fatal.

Sun Shangxiang pear blossoms in front of the rainy window, "Zixuan, do I really want to marry him?"

"County Lord, I'm afraid that's the only way to do it now." The arrow is on the bow, the board is certain, and the current situation is all made by themselves but a naïve girl is required to bear the mistakes they have made and take responsibility.

"I don't want to, he grows so much as me, how can I like him, I'm not married, I, what I like is you." Sun Shangxiang plucked up the courage to express the love in his heart, Zixuan was stunned, if he couldn't accept it, after all, there was no way for the two to be together, they couldn't, they couldn't.

"County Lord, thanks to the wrong love of the county lord, Zixuan has been incognito in order to avenge his father, the county lord, I only have hatred in my heart, and I can't tolerate the private feelings of my children, if the princess is really reluctant, it is better for Zixuan to go to meet Liu Bei first for the county lord." Someone likes herself, even if she can't accept it, she feels guilty and wants to do something to help her get out of trouble.

"It turns out that I was self-inflicted~ In that case, thank you." Hearing this, Sun Xiaomei didn't cry anymore, her heart seemed to die at that moment, and the unaccepted heart was not wanted by others, and she didn't have to cherish it.

"Zixuan has taken his leave."

Just as Kunita came in, "Kunita." ”

"You go down first."

"No."

As soon as he came, he cried bitterly and hugged Sun Xiaomei, "Daughter, my mother has no choice, and I don't want my baby daughter to marry an old man in his 40s." ”

"Mother, don't say it, I won't marry."

"You can't just think about yourself, but also think about Jiangdong, it's not easy for your father and eldest brother to conquer this Jiangdong, you have to marry Liu Bei for Jiangdong."

"Why?" Puzzled to ask her mother, her mother, who has always been loving and obedient to her, is now so ruthless!

"Because you are the daughter of the Sun family, you have to think about the people of Jiangdong." At this time, the mother and daughter burst into tears.

Sun Shangxiang had tears in her eyes, looking at her powerless mother, she had nothing to do for her, she had to agree to this family business, "Mother, I will marry." ”

Sun Shangxiang had no choice but to agree to marry Uncle Liu Huang, which should be blamed on his naïve and good-looking second brother.

Liu Bei has arrived at the post house, at night, Zixuan casually found a name to visit Uncle Liu Huang, saying that it was more like a visit than a temptation, Zixuan said to Sun Gan who was standing outside the door: "In Xia Zhao Hongying, I ask to see Uncle Liu Huang." ”

"Wait a minute, I'll report it."

After a while, Sun Qian came out and said to Zixuan, "Come in." As soon as Zixuan saw Liu Bei, he saluted, for fear of losing his courtesy, "In Xia Zhao Hongying, the word Zixuan, I have seen Uncle Liu Huang." ”

Liu Bei asked kindly: "No need to be polite, I don't know what happened when Your Excellency came late at night?" Zixuan didn't go straight to the topic, but knocked on the side, "It's nothing, I'm afraid that Uncle Huang won't be used to eating and living, so I came to take a look, and look, I also brought some pastries for Uncle Huang to taste." ”

"I'm tired."

The two were chatting, and Zhao Yun came in, "I've seen the lord, who is this?" ”

As soon as Zixuan turned around, Zilong was surprised and delighted, "Zixuan, it's you, I didn't expect to meet you here." From the last time Zhao Zilong rode alone to save Adou, Zixuan knew that he was by Liu Bei's side, and he also guessed that he would come this time, so he was not surprised, and said lightly, "Brother Zhao, you are here too." ”

Liu Bei on the side couldn't understand it, "You know?" Looking at this Liu Bei, he was very curious, the person in front of him, delicate, thin, and arrogant, came in the middle of the night and didn't know what to do.

Zixuan stepped forward first and explained, "General Zilong, is my sworn brother, and I am his brother-in-law." After hearing this, Liu Bei hurriedly pulled closer, "Oh, that's the case, then since you are Zilong's righteous brother, then you are also my younger brother." "In this way, things will be much easier," the imperial uncle lifted. ”

Zilong was a little disappointed, Zixuan was not surprised or happy to see him, and was very cold. "Since this is the case, Zixuan has some things on his mind that he wants to talk to Uncle Huang."

"Oh, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

Dongwu can't stay longer, or have to leave with his sister, the world is big, the people's hearts are sinister, I don't know where to go, I still have to take refuge in a reliable person, so, Liu Bei is a good choice, besides, I went to Jingzhou out of selfishness.

Zixuan continued to use Dongwu's routine and said, "Zixuan has a younger sister, and she likes one of the people in the emperor's uncle's army. ”

Liu Bei smiled and said, "Yes! Who is it? Say it and I'll be a matchmaker for her. ”

Zixuan, it's hard to speak, lie, it must be perfect, and this metaphor must be appropriate.

Zilong didn't speak on the side, but he was very happy. "I don't think it's possible for her sister to be with him."

Liu Bei asked, "Why?" ”

Zilong's smile was gone, with a slight hint of heaviness, Zixuan continued: "From the beginning, I felt that the love I was pursuing was not possible, if it was a thousand miles, it should be wise not to chase those hundred steps."

Otherwise, in the end, love and not love, hate and hate, it is better to pass by. The result of blind pursuit and persistent coercion is mostly pain and trouble, there is no need to be sentimental, it is boring to cover up sadness, and work in vain, do you say that this is the case, Uncle Huang"
