Chapter 46: Obscure Thoughts
Sun Ce didn't know when he had his thoughts about his brother-in-law, was it a glimpse of the wedding ceremony, or the envy of seeing her affection when she saw Sun Quan off?
He only had a little envy and a faint regret at first, if he knew that the rumored Da Qiao was so amazing, maybe he would really be reluctant to give Sun Quan as his wife.
And he and his wife Gu have a bad relationship, he has been fighting all the year round, and Gu often resents him for having too many concubines, so he is very cold to him, and often speaks of resentment.
He was really impatient with the woman's resentment, and would rather fight with the battlefield all year round than go back to face Gu's jealous and distorted face.
But when he saw Qiao's sending Sun Quan on the expedition, he was so gentle and considerate, and a thought that shocked him at that moment popped up: If he had accepted Qiao's words himself, could it be that her gentleness at the moment was towards himself.
And when he saw Qiao's dejected look after hearing that Sun Quan had disappeared, he had a moment of selfishness thinking, if Sun Quan couldn't come back, what identity could he use to take care of her descendant?
Such a vague and dark mind is something he can't declare, coveting his brother's wife, even he can't help but spit on himself, and after spitting, he can't restrain his delusional heart.
The time he carried her back to Luming Pavilion in disregard of etiquette was the closest he could get to her, and he admitted that he was a little out of his mind, but he was secretly glad.
Qiao's hairpin fell on the side of the road, he saw the hairpin at a glance on the way back to Qinghe Hall, he took advantage of the darkness and no one was around, quietly picked it up and hid it in his arms, and collected it in a small box to treasure.
He thought he was hiding well, but Zhou Yu was the first to see it.
Between the two of them drinking that day, he originally wanted to relieve Zhou Yu, "Since you have fallen in love with Xiao Qiao, why don't I come forward to protect you for the media?" ”
Zhou Yu shook his head, "Zhong Mou married Da Qiao as his wife, but Xiao Qiao was my concubine, you are slapping Zhong Mou in the face!" ”
He also knew it, but he was a little unwilling and secretly revealed his intentions to Xiao Qiao. Li Shu is the best at drilling camps, and when he hears the string songs, he knows the elegance, and immediately goes to Qiao's house to say yes.
Zhou Yu took a sip of light wine, "It's not that I haven't tried it, Mrs. Qiao is not reluctant to give up her sister, not to mention that she herself is unwilling." ”
He could see that Qiao Ying was not ruthless to him, but he couldn't be a concubine with someone, and he lost the reputation of Qiao's family.
He also heard that Mrs. Qiao was interested in looking at Yuan Yao, a man whose talent and reputation were not as good as his.
Just because, Yuan Yao has not yet married a wife.
Sun Ce teased Zhou Yu, "A woman is worth your effort?" ”
Zhou Yu stared at Han Ji beside him, under the flickering candle flame, between his low eyebrows and his head, he looked like a person. He hesitantly looked back and forth between Sun Ce and Han Ji.
Combined with Sun Ce's strange behavior of going back to Anhui City to report in person, he suddenly understood something.
Zhou Yuzhi is smart, how can Sun Ce not know, he bowed his head slightly to hide his gaffe, and tried his best to make himself look natural.
Zhou Yu suddenly spoke, meaning something, "If you stay by your side, sooner or later there will be disaster." ”
Han Ji trembled when she heard this.
This night, he faced Han Ji's crazy desire to vent his physical and mental desires, completely ignoring her crying, as if he was looking for another person through her at the end.
Until the wind and rain stopped, he grabbed her neck with both hands, slowly increasing his strength, and watched her eyes widen under him, struggling desperately.
In the end, a drop of clear tears fell, and Han Ji almost tried his best to say "Sun Lang" to arouse his unbearable.
She could only call him "Wu Hou", and only occasionally would she be asked to call him this title.
In the end, he still couldn't make a move on this face.
But the next day, when he found that his treasured hairpin was gone, he panicked. This hairpin hides his vague and unspeakable thoughts.
He questioned the guard sharply, and the guard didn't expect him to lose his temper so much suddenly, so he hurriedly pointed in the direction where Han Ji left.
When he searched all the way, he found her lying on the ground, clutching the bleeding wound on her neck, and she was no longer breathing.
Sun Quan's expression was gloomy, and there was a monstrous anger hidden in his eyes that stared at Han Ji who couldn't bare at him.
At that moment, Sun Ce's heart couldn't help but stop, he was both relieved and uneasy.
Sun Quan said coldly, "This woman intends to separate you and my brother, and she spreads rumors to shake the morale of the army, and she also tries to assassinate me. Brother, I've already killed someone, you won't blame me. ”
"Naturally not. She harbors evil intentions, intent on killing your brother and my brother, how can she spare it? ”
Sun Ce did not hesitate to stand on his brother's side.
Sun Quan said "hmm" very coldly, and ordered Youxuan to drag the person down to deal with it.
Sun Ce secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, hoping that Han Ji didn't say anything that shouldn't be said. It's also a good thing that such people keep their mouths shut forever.
But in the next moment, he saw Sun Quan's hand, clutching a hairpin tightly, even with his nails deeply embedded in his palm, and he refused to let go even when he was bleeding.
He "chuckled" in his heart, and he thought that Han Ji had already finished confiding what he should say and what he shouldn't say.
But Sun Quan's choice was to kill her.
Sun Ce's heart was very uncomfortable, and he was even wondering if he should open his mouth to explain something to Sun Quan, but he didn't know where to start explaining.
He knew that Sun Quan was there to defend him, but the more this happened, the more he couldn't face his own unbearableness.
And today, in the face of Huang Zu, Sun Quan still chose to protect him without hesitation, which made him even more ashamed.
Sun Quan knew everything, but he endured everything.
Sun Ce sat in front of Sun Quan's couch, looking at the wound on his hand, even though he was wrapped in thick gauze, there was still a lot of blood oozing.
Sun Quan woke up when Sun Ce came in, but he didn't open his eyes, he just pretended to be asleep. Sun Ce also knew that Sun Quan was still awake, and he didn't force anything.
"Lujiang has been finished, but Yuzhang County has not yet surrendered, I can't trust others, you personally lead the troops, Gongjin will go with you, be sure to take Yuzhang."
He knew that he couldn't face Sun Quan, and he also knew that Sun Quan didn't want to see him at this time. Maybe let him leave for a while, and the two brothers will still have room to turn around.
Sun Quan still did not speak, neither responding nor refusing.
Sun Ce sat alone for a while before he sighed secretly, and was about to get up, but he heard Sun Quan lying on the couch say softly, "It's the New Year, and the family still has to be reunited and have a New Year's dinner to be considered complete." ”
Sun Ce only felt a stagnation in his chest, as if there was a breath rampage in it, and it suddenly hurt, and it took a while to hold back the sourness of his nose and speak with difficulty, "Okay." ”
