Chapter 368: The Lost Pillar General Kills Himself

Wu Jing trembled and was moved to hear it, thinking that Sun Quan also had a side of love and righteousness.

He was about to go in to comfort him, but there were sobriety words from the cabin.

"People live for a lifetime, grass lives for an autumn, as long as the death is valuable, it will not be in vain, Zi Lie died in battle, and the head was used by Cao thieves, this is the value"

Wu Jing came to see Sun Quan at night, mainly to remind Cao Cao that he was planning to marry him, and now that he knew that his nephew's heart was like a mirror, his original worries were put down.

Sun Quan ordered not to let people go to the third floor to disturb, Wu Jing thought that he might want to stay alone, since Zhong Mou knew in his heart that it would be pointless for him to disturb again, so he turned around and leaned on the bulkhead to leave.

The moment he turned around, Wu Jing's ears opened.

It was obviously the height of summer, but it was like being in an ice cave, and the chill came from the cabin and from Sun Quan's mouth.

"More than 20,000 soldiers are all gone, he has lost all the capital I have gained a foothold, but he licked his face and ran back to ask for sin, with my mother to help me speak, what crime can I cure? It's better to die simply, or really become a prisoner of the Cao thief, and you can help me indirectly. Damn it."

Wu Jing was both ashamed and indignant, and he was very disappointed in Sun Quan.

Family affection is not worth mentioning in the face of power, and siblings are thorns on your way forward.

I thought that this child was just thinking about it, but now that I hear it, how can I still have a heart?

Dead simply? That's fine.

Mourning is greater than dying, Wu Jing lost his soul and disappeared into the night, and soon there was a pop on the side of the main boat, temporarily interrupting the cry of summer insects, but it was followed by another chirping.

The night guard on the ship heard the noise, and after a brief inspection of the surroundings, he saw that nothing was unusual, and no one paid attention to it in the darkness of the night.

Early the next morning, Sun Quan's hatch was smashed.

"Cao Jun called? Ugh."

Sun Quan jumped up from the couch in shock, but he didn't take into account the height of the cabin, and directly put a bag on his head, and only when he looked at it did he realize that it was Lu Meng.

"Ziming? What kind of system are you flustered into? Sun Quan covered his head with one hand, and his face was full of gloom.

The morning of midsummer should have been extremely refreshing, but the beads of sweat on Lu Meng's forehead kept rolling down, and I saw him clenching his fists with a bitter face: "Lord, something is wrong, you can go to the deck with me to have a look."

Sun Quan frowned: "What's the big deal?" ”

"General Wu he. He drowned"

"What?"

Sun Quan was stunned for a moment, he quickly put on his coat and ran towards the deck with Lu Meng.

On the way to the first deck with the help of the stairs, Sun Quan caught a glimpse of a lot of people gathered below, and kept wondering how Wu Jing could drown? It could be that there was an Assassin invasion last night.

Lu Meng introduced the situation while walking, and in the morning, someone found a floating corpse in the lake, and when he salvaged it, he found that it was Wu Jing, but there was no wound on his body.

Sun Quan came to the deck to inspect, only to see that Wu Jing's whole body was blistered white, he half-squatted on the ground and slammed the ship's board to vent, then got up and looked around at everyone and shouted:

"Can anyone tell me, why did the dignified commander and general of Jiangdong drown inexplicably?"

Seeing that everyone was silent, Sun Quan got up and called Lu Meng, and asked in a deep voice: "Ziming, the cause of my uncle's death will be handed over to you to investigate, the main ship is such a big place, can it be found out in half a day?" ”

"The last will do his best." Lu Meng clenched his fists and responded.

Sun Quan shouted hysterically: "I don't want to try, I just need an answer." ”

"Yui." Lu Meng shouted loudly.

Sun Quan nodded with satisfaction, instructed the rest of the people to cooperate with Lu Meng's investigation, and then returned to the cabin by himself, always feeling that Wu Jing had died strangely, and he also felt that he had died in a bad place.

If there is no news of death on the battlefield, and then Cao Cao takes a fake Wu Jing in exchange, he can send Sun Yi to exchange, that is the most ideal result.

Before he woke up, Sun Quan then returned to the cabin and lay down.

In the middle of thinking, he closed his eyes in a daze, and snoring slowly came out of his nose.

Lu Meng was young and very efficient, and the absence of external injuries on the corpse meant that it was not an assassination; Then starting from Wu Jing's guards, he learned that Wu Jing did not drink last night, so he ruled out that he was drunk and fell into the water;

In the process of investigating witnesses, it was found that Wu Jing went to the third floor to see Sun Quan, and finally went down to the first floor to lose his trace, and did not return to his cabin.

This discovery shocked LΓΌ Meng, and he immediately hurried to find Sun Quan and woke up the sleeping lord again.

Sun Quan sat up with the bed board and asked with half-squinted eyes, "Ziming?" Are you done checking? ”

Lu Meng clenched his fists and reported: "My lord, General Wu can rule out his killing, as well as drunkenness and falling into the water, when the last general investigates the witnesses, the last person who sees General Wu is the guard outside your cabin."

"Huh?"

Sun Quan looked puzzled, sat up straight and asked, "Then what?" ”

"They said that General Wu went to the third floor last night and then disappeared when he went downstairs." Lu Meng stopped abruptly halfway through his words.

Sun Quan was stunned at first, and then asked incredulously: "Does Ziming think it has something to do with me?" ”

"How dare you do not?"

Lu Meng hurriedly waved his hand: "The last general wants to ask the lord to recall whether General Wu was abnormal last night."

"I kept a vigil until midnight last night, and I didn't see anyone on the third floor, what anomalies can I find?"

Seeing that Sun Quan's tone was stiff, and there was no need to lie to himself, Lu Meng hurriedly clenched his fists and explained: "The last general has no other meaning, General Wu didn't kill him, nor did he accidentally fall into the water, so he could only take the initiative to throw himself into the lake."

"Take the initiative to throw yourself into the lake?"

Sun Quan thought of Lu Meng's narration just now, and suddenly thought that he had drunk some wine last night, as if he had said something to Chen Wu's head, wasn't it listened to by his uncle?

It's so dangerous, fortunately he threw himself into the lake, otherwise it would be unimaginable.

Sun Quan was nervous in his heart, but there was no wave on his face, he looked at Lu Meng and nodded: "Ziming's analysis is reasonable and well-founded, uncle may have seen Zi Lie's head sad, and he blamed himself for the previous defeat, so he couldn't think of doing something stupid."

Lu Meng echoed softly: "What the lord said is very true, the last general estimated that he went upstairs last night just to say goodbye to the lord, but in the end he left silently."

"Alas" Sun Quan sighed, and instructed Lu Meng: "Uncle threw himself into the lake, let me Jiangdong lose the pillars, the governor of the capital can not afford to lose, you hurry to the front line to see him, anyway, Huainan has been returned to Cao thief, it is really impossible to retreat to the Yangtze River, at this time it is meaningless, Cao Cao will go north sooner or later to fight with Yuan Shao, and it will not be too late for us to make a comeback." ”

"Yui, I'll definitely bring the words."

Lu Meng clenched his fists and turned to leave, but Sun Quan temporarily stopped him: "General Wu's matter, you have to keep it secret from the front line for the time being, I'm afraid it will affect the morale of the army." ”

"The end will be saved."

LΓΌ Meng then hurried to the front line to convey Sun Quan's thoughts to Zhou Yu.

After hearing this, Zhou Yu said that he knew what he knew, and motioned for Lu Meng to return to Chaohu to reassure Sun Quan, and said in his heart that the lord is young, how can he know how to use soldiers?

Before LΓΌ Meng came, Zhou Yu had reached an agreement with Zhang Liao to 'exchange prisoners' on the south bank of Xiang'an after five days, and said that Sun Yi would be allowed to enter the court.

Zhou Yu gave Cao Cao the person he wanted the most, with the purpose of using Sun Yi as a bait to calculate the other party.
