Chapter Seventy-Nine: Forming an Alliance with Soochow (8)

"Cousin!" Seeing Sun Deng injured, my heart was extremely painful and I cried out loudly.

At this moment, the Li brothers, Zhuge Ke and others broke through the snake formation, ran over, and dragged the three of us aside, the giant python was still rolling on the ground, and it didn't stop until it was a pillar of incense, and the tip of its tail trembled.

Although the giant python died, Yu Wei was still there, and everyone did not dare to look forward for a long time.

At this time, the rest of the snakes were gone, and only the shiny slime and snake corpses were left all over the ground.

The soldiers rushed forward and surrounded the place, shining around with torches, and when they saw the remnants of the snakes, they swung their weapons down.

Zhuge Ke looked at the giant python and sighed: "This is the genus of the divine dragon." It is the will of heaven that he died at the hands of the prince and the prince today. When Gaozu cut the snake, the old woman cried on the road: The Red Emperor killed the White Emperor. Today's events are nothing more than that. ”

I didn't have time to answer, so I checked Sun Deng's injury first, but it was only a concussion of the viscera, and it was not a big problem. However, Hesse was entangled by a giant python, and his ribs were broken three times, and the abrasions and squeezing injuries on his body were countless, so he carefully straightened the broken bones for him, and asked the soldiers to make a stretcher, put him on it, and carry him back to the White Emperor City.

Zhuge Ke also arranged for everyone to lift the giant python and knock it back. Sun Deng and I walked side by side, talking and laughing all the way. This battle is extremely dangerous, and I almost confessed to Sun Deng here. After this battle, our relationship seems to be closer, and it is a little funny and regretful to think of the way we calculated each other a few days ago.

The generals in the White Emperor City all knew that we were going hunting, and no one expected that we would fight such a big guy. When Zhao Yun and other honest and respectful people heard about this, they were terrified, and they repeatedly asked why the guards had left us. However, in front of the guests of Soochow, it was not easy to say much, and only said to me in private, His Royal Highness's daughter's body should not be easily involved in danger and the like.

In fact, I was also afraid in my heart, but looking at these people in Jiangdong, they were very courageous, but I didn't want them to compare. Most of the people in this era are a little crazy, among which the Sun family is the most, when the princes of the Eighteenth Road Kwantung hesitated, Sun Deng's grandfather Sun Jian led the army to the west alone, and Dong Zhuo fled with the wind; And his eldest uncle Sun Ce is even more talented, and is regarded as the little overlord of Jiangdong, if it is not for the early death of Hua Nian, no one dares to imagine his future; And although his father is one of the three parts of the world, he seems to be a peaceful son, but he also shot a tiger alone and was famous.

However, from this incident, I also seem to have discovered a characteristic of the Sun family, that is, too arrogant and adventurous. Although these two points became implicit after Sun Quan, they flowed in the blood of the Sun family and could not be erased. This is a strength, but also a disadvantage.

Sun Deng watched the giant python along the way, and he liked it very much, so I handed it over to him in public. Afterwards, Zhuge Qiao said to me: "The prince and Sun Shizi worked together to kill the python, but they were handed over to him alone. And people often compare this matter with Gaozu cutting the snake, which feels really bad. ”

"Are you saying that this python is compared to the country, and my concession seems to be a metaphor for the two countries working together, but let them get the country? Hehe, joke. If a snake can represent the country, then why is it man who rules the world. is virtuous and capable, even cloth clothes will not be despised; is immoral and incompetent, just like Yuan Shu, the fourth and third dukes hold the jade seal of the country, and they will not escape death. I let this python go this time, in fact, I just want them to feel this way, feel my generosity and truthfulness, and feel that cooperating with me will give them great benefits in the future. A python in exchange for their trust, value. As for the country, I won't let anyone go. ”

Zhuge Qiao was relieved and said: "Your Highness's mind is really beyond the reach of ordinary people. However, Sun Dengqi, although he is young, is steady, not afraid of hardships and dangers, and dares to take on big things. I'm afraid that there will be a greater threat to the prince in the future. ”

I smiled: "It seems that Guan Feng's charm is really not small, so you can also deal with him carefully." You don't have to explain, I'm joking with you. Sun Dengqi is a good person, I like it very much, especially in the end, he blocked the giant python on my behalf, and he was shocked to bleed, I am very grateful to him. However, the major events in the world are not controlled by personal friendship, and at this point, Sun Deng and I can clearly distinguish between them, and if we can't do this, we are not worthy of being the heirs of Ji Han and Dongwu respectively. However, I am not Zhou Lang, seeing that Mr. is high, Cao Cao will come to ruin Mr. 's life before he is destroyed. I can't do anything like that. What's more, Sun Quan of Eastern Wu is in full bloom, and Sun Deng will not be able to play a big role in decades. Even if he can play a role, at this time, it is aimed at Cao Wei, not us who have betrayed the Three Gorges natural danger, which will benefit us and do no harm. As for what the world will be like after Cao Wei's destruction, although I don't dare to be arrogant, but with your help, I will not be inferior to Sun Deng. ”

Zhuge Qiao laughed at what I said: "I'm stingy like this." Your Highness has such self-confidence, why should I be a villain. ”

When he left, he turned around and asked me, "Madame Sun has returned, and the prince should also take the time to visit, otherwise it seems unkind." After speaking, he did not wait for me to answer, and went by himself.

I couldn't help but be silent, I didn't have the freedom to deal with political affairs for a long time.

It's not that I don't want to see Sun Shangxiang, but I don't know what identity and how to meet her. The cruel words she said to me in Soochow have I still not been able to forgive. She doesn't recognize me as a son, how can I recognize her as a mother?

I had thought of repaying her cruelty with cruelty - in a big palace, I stared into her eyes, watched her shiver on the ground, but sneered proudly: "You don't want to be my Liu family anymore, you don't want to be Adou's mother, can you escape?" Then in front of her, I beat Zhou Shan with a leather whip, listening to Zhou Shan's screams, watching her tremble, but I laughed.

I've also thought about situations like this - when we meet, five or six years of longing rush through my heart. I threw myself into her arms, wept bitterly, begging her to forgive my father's remarriage, begging her to forget Zhou Shan, we forgot the unhappiness, and returned to the old days.

I also thought about letting her and Zhou Shan go together to fulfill her old feelings for me......

also thought about quietly killing Zhou Shan and then imprisoning her to prevent the scandal of her remarriage from being revealed and disgraced Ji Han......

However, I finally couldn't give up my heart, and I couldn't poison or let go. She, who used to be my mother, used to treat me very well. I said I was going to pick her up when she left, and she laughed at me for being just a child. I have now fulfilled my promise, even though it has long since changed.

I asked myself if I was a little childish, and if it would be too cruel to take her back. But as soon as I heard Zhuge Jin say that she missed me and my father day and night in Jiangdong, I couldn't help but hate, and I couldn't help but say what she wanted to come back.

She had hurt me so deeply, how could I let her live a peaceful life in Jiangdong.

I walked slowly outside the door, my heart fluctuating. Even Zhuge Qiao thinks it's time for me to go see her, it seems that I can't hide, so let's take a look at her. I got up and walked to Sun Shangxiang's lower place, and the Li brothers next to me followed closely.

Along the way, my heart involuntarily jumped again, I secretly hated myself, wanted to say something to relax, and said with one mouth: "Where is Hesse recuperating from his wounds, let's go see him." ”

The group came to the place where Hesse was recuperating and saw that Hesse's spirit was much better. I sat down next to him and asked, "Hesse, are you better?" ”

Hesse was still so hard that he couldn't hear the expressionless Chinese words: "Your Highness, it's much better." ”

"It's really strange that today's python appeared, but fortunately you weren't seriously injured."

"Yes, young master, this Wang Python didn't have it here, it's weird." Hesse Road.

"What? Isn't this king python itself born here? I was startled, grabbed Hesse's hand, and frowned when I grabbed him, I quickly let go, turned to Li Sheng and said, "Go find the fourth uncle and Zhuge Qiao." ”

"Yes, Your Highness, this Wang Python was originally only found in the dense forests of the Southern Barrier Qi Quadruple, and only the Southern Barbarian natives could enter their territory. And this has never been seen before. ”

After a while, the fourth uncle and Zhuge Qiao came in, and I asked Hesse to repeat Shicai's words, and then said: "It seems that this distress is not accidental, but there are thieves who designed it, and they didn't think that we would go hunting, but let people hunt us with wild beasts. ”

The fourth uncle's sword eyebrows raised: "I'll immediately take someone to search, catch the thief, and I'll kill him alive!" ”

Zhuge Qiao shook his head and said, "It's not appropriate." First, if the thief can drive the king python to fight, he must be a person with high skills, and he is in the dense forest, how can a team of soldiers find it. Second, the dense forest is deep in the mountains, the geography is not familiar, the crisis is numerous, a few years ago Yizhou became chaotic, to descend to the capital of the governor of a deputy general with 500 soldiers and horses to attack a village of only 100 people, the result of the whole army trapped in the old forest, no one came back alive. We are now mostly a naval army, and we are not good at fighting in the mountains and forests, and it is difficult for our army to catch him when they go out. Third, when the thief saw that Wang Python was dead, he would not stay where he was, so even if he went, it would not have any effect. Fourth, the person who drove the giant python to fight was not necessarily the mastermind who wanted to harm His Highness. ”

The fourth uncle hated: "I don't believe that he is an immortal, and he can leave no clues." ”

But I understood what Zhuge Qiao meant: "Fourth uncle, we have to investigate this matter, but we don't have to investigate it openly." On the surface, we only did not know what we were doing, and we were uncertain, and secretly sent people to investigate and visit carefully, and once we found out who it was, we would wipe it out in a net. ”

Zhuge Qiao nodded and said, "Yes, I have this intention." This person used this method to assassinate the young master and Sun Shizi, which was tantamount to hitting Ji Han and Dongwu from time to time. Who should it be? ”

"Cao Wei?" I don't know why, Sima Wang's shadow suddenly flashed in my mind, but then he was eliminated, he was defeated by our army, and the Sima family is facing a crisis of confidence in Cao Pi, if he still has the ability to follow here to make ghosts, he will become a god. What's more, this python is unique to the south, and Cao Wei's army is full of northerners, and there is no such person.

If it wasn't Cao Wei, then who would it be? Names flashed quickly in my mind, Liu Ming? Liu Zhang? How many younger brothers does Sun Deng have? Guan Feng? She wouldn't be so ruthless and wouldn't have such ability, right? Suddenly knowing that the encounter with the python was caused by man-made, I almost got up in some grasses and forests, only to feel that everyone was suspicious, and there were suspicious points everywhere.

Hesse suddenly said: "This kind of beast control technique seems to be rare in the world. It seems that only the people of the Southwest Barbarian Cave know. ”

Zhuge Qiao clapped his hands and said, "Yes, this matter is flipped over and pushed back, but it seems to be easier." If it were them, it would be much smaller. ”

The fourth uncle said: "No matter who it is, I will make him pay!" ”
