Restaurant, in the room.

In the past few days, Wu County has been in chaos, the people are panicked, and the officials are terrified.

There was a smile in Wen Ping's eyes, and he was extremely excited. He looked at Liu Xiu with admiration, and said: "Childe's clever plan, with a little incitement, it can easily cause turmoil in Wu County, it seems that there are many people who are dissatisfied with Sun Quan." ”

Liu Xiu said: "The reason for the success is that Jingzhou has spies and strength in Wu County, so it can know every move in Wu County, and it can set off a storm; Xu Gong has been dead for so many years, and there are still people loyal to him. Thirdly, thanks to Lu Xun for disturbing the situation, after the Lu family made a move, the families in Jiangdong did not know why, and they were involved one after another, so the current situation appeared. ”

Wen Ping nodded and said, "Even so, if there is no son to take the lead, everything will not succeed." ”

Liu Xiu smiled: "General Zhongye, you praise me too much. ”

Wen Ping said: "Next, what do we do?"

Liu Xiu shook his head and said: "Don't move for the time being, tomorrow is the time to celebrate your birthday, first congratulate your birthday, and then make the next plan when it's time to welcome your relatives." ”

"No"

Wen Ping nodded and walked out of Liu Xiu's room.

Lu family, study.

Lu Xun, Lu Mao, and Lu Ji sat opposite each other.

Lu Ji is twenty this year, younger than Lu Xun's age, and the same age as Lu Mao. But he was the son of Lu Kang in his later years, although he was young, he grew up to Lu Xun and Lu Mao.

Lu Ji stared at Lu Xun and said, "Bo Yan, the Lu family is involved in Liu Xiu's behind-the-scenes planning, will it be dangerous?"

For the Sun family, Lu Ji's resentment is even deeper.

Lu Ji is the son of Lu Kang, who witnessed his father's death in Lujiang, and the hatred in his heart has never been resolved. The reason why he surrendered to the Sun family was because the Sun family was powerful, and it was impossible for the Lu family to contend with it, otherwise the Lu family would have done it a long time ago.

Lu Xun smiled and said, "Sun Quan is jealous of the Lu family, even if he knows that the Lu family is involved, he will be a little more jealous." And this time, we just added fuel to the fire and spread the news, and didn't do anything. So, although the uncle can rest assured, there will be no problem. ”

Lu Mao's eyes were excited, and he said: "The situation in Wu County is turbulent, and it would be great if the Sun family was destroyed because of this." ”

Lu Xun said: "That's impossible. ”

The reason why Lu Xun knew that it was Liu Xiu behind the scenes was because he informed Liu Xiu that he could not leave Jiangdong. After the continuous murders, the dark tide in Wu County was turbulent and the situation was chaotic, and Lu Xun concluded that it was Liu Xiu.

As for the other families, it is not known who is behind the scenes. These families, who had been bloodily suppressed by Sun Ce, all had pimples in their hearts, and when they saw that the Lu family moved, they were like beasts that smelled fishy, and they all moved.

As a result, the situation is becoming more and more out of control.

October 25, the sun is shining. In the cold winter day, it is rare to see good sunshine. Bathed in the sun, the whole person is extraordinarily comfortable.

Wuhou Mansion is already full of lights early in the morning.

Inside and outside the house, people come and go, making the atmosphere more lively.

Zhang Zhao came to the mansion early to arrange the birthday banquet. Da Qiao's father Qiao Xuan also came, although Sun Ce died and Da Qiao was also widowed, the relationship between Qiao Xuan and the Sun family was still closely maintained. In addition, Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Lu Meng, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang and others also arrived at the house early to celebrate their birthdays.

Sun Quan's descendants, officials and people who have a good relationship with the Sun family have arrived.

Liu Xiu came at about midnight, and by the time he arrived, all the main advisers and generals in Jiangdong had already arrived. Liu Xiu handed over the birthday gift to the registered person, and went straight to the house.

Lu Su arranged things in the front hall, and when he saw Liu Xiu, he walked up with a smile and waved his hand: "Mr. Liu, I can be regarded as waiting for you." Let's go, go to the lobby. ”

Take Liu Xiu and go directly to the hall.

In the hall, everyone talked and laughed, and the birthday star Wu Guotai sat on top and accepted everyone's congratulations.

Wu Guotai is nearly fifty years old and is born with kind eyebrows and kind eyes. When she was talking to her relatives at home, she noticed the young man who walked in with Lu Su. Wu Guotai's eyes swept over Sun Shangxiang on the side, and when he saw Sun Shangxiang's expression, he suddenly tensed, and he understood in his heart.

"With sword eyebrows and sideburns, clear eyes, a nose like a gall, and a resolute and calm face, he is indeed a handsome young man. ”

Wu Guo took a look and made a very good first impression.

Lu Su stepped forward with Liu Xiu and said respectfully: "Old lady, this is Liu Xiu of Jingzhou." ”

Liu Xiu rubbed his hands together and said humbly and respectfully: "Junior Liu Xiu, I have seen the old lady. "His every move, his demeanor is decent, neither humble nor arrogant, which is very comfortable.

Rao is Sun Quan, Zhang Zhao and others, and they can't pick out the thorns.

Wu Guotai smiled: "Okay, good, what a young man." Xiang'er, take Liu Xiu around. ”

"Hmm"

Sun Shangxiang stood up and left with Liu Xiu.

Everyone's eyes fell on Liu Xiu and Sun Shangxiang, and they praised the talented and beautiful women.

All kinds of words came into Sun Shangxiang's ears, making Sun Shangxiang's face a little more flushed.

Sometimes, when you are in a dilemma because of your choice, once you make up your mind, it becomes more relaxed. Sun Shangxiang returned to Jiangdong with the intention of regretting marriage, but regretting marriage would affect Jiangdong and be in a dilemma. Under Sun Quan's persecution, she had to accept the decision to marry Liu Xiu, and after deciding, she felt a lot better in her heart, and she didn't have to suffer anymore.

Under the eyes of everyone, the two walked out of the hall and walked to the backyard.

Backyard, in the pavilion.

The two sat down, but this situation was extremely embarrassing.

Once, Liu Xiu's swordsmanship overwhelmed Sun Shangxiang and hit Sun Shangxiang's body incompletely; Once, Liu Xiu set a trap and captured Sun Shangxiang. Now that they are sitting together, Liu Xiu has become the party to greet their relatives.

Sun Shangxiang pursed her lips and said, "Don't you have anything to say?"

Liu Xiu said: "Miss Shangxiang, do you still count the things agreed upon at the beginning?"

In a word, Sun Shangxiang's face turned pale. The thing agreed at the beginning, isn't it that she ran away from marriage and regretted her marriage Sun Shangxiang took a deep breath and said slowly: "I agreed to the marriage, I don't run away from the marriage, I don't regret the marriage." ”

When Liu Xiu heard this, he raised his eyebrows.

Sure enough, relying on Sun Shangxiang is definitely unreliable. Under the operation of Sun Quan and Jiangdong Mouchen, it is simply impossible for Sun Shangxiang to insist on his own opinions. After three or two clicks, he was persuaded.

Sun Shangxiang asked, "You are disappointed"

Liu Xiu said: "A little"

After a pause, Liu Xiu said again: "But I can't blame you for this matter." It is too cruel to let a woman repent and run away from marriage. That's fine, that's fine. ”

Sun Shangxiang frowned, unsure of Liu Xiu's thoughts.

Liu Xiuxin belongs, but now, it seems that he has also accepted the arrangement of welcoming relatives, but he also succumbed to Liu Biao's arrangement Sun Shangxiang thought about it and said: "You agreed to the marriage and returned to Jingzhou, how can you explain it to the person you like?"

Liu Xiu said: "Take one step at a time, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge." ”

In front of Sun Shangxiang, it was impossible for Liu Xiu to tell the real plan. Just as Sun Quan did not tell Sun Shangxiang that he was going to detain Liu Xiu, it is impossible for Liu Xiu to tell Sun Shangxiang that he would plot to escape when he was greeting his relatives.

All this is still in the dark.

The two chatted intermittently, chatting with each other without a pair, and there was no tacit understanding at all.

The content of the chat is also shriveled.

It didn't take long for the attendants in the house to inform him that he was about to congratulate Wu Guotai on his birthday. The two returned to the front hall, and then arrived at the officials of the Marquis Wu Mansion or relatives of the Sun family, and congratulated Wu Guotai on his birthday.

The atmosphere was lively and the scene was very harmonious.

Liu Xiu participated in it, celebrated when he should celebrate, toasted when he should toast, and everything behaved very decently. Liu Xiu's every move, in the eyes of Wu Guotai, was calm and decent, and his speech and demeanor were appropriate.

In particular, Liu Xiu and Zhou Yu and Lu Su and other talented people talked freely, which made Wu Guotai even more satisfied.

After the banquet, after everyone toasted, Wu Guotai looked at Qiao Xuan at the same table and asked Qiao Xuan's opinion, Qiao Xuan also praised Liu Xiu, saying that Liu Xiu was a young man, and Wu Guotai was even more happy.

On this day, there was no open and secret fighting at the banquet, only harmonious celebration. After dinner in the evening, everyone dispersed, and Liu Xiu was able to leave Wuhou's Mansion and return to the restaurant where he was temporarily staying
