Chapter 127: Retribution
When Guo Jia heard the news that the Marquis of Jiangdong had been attacked but the assassins had been ambushed, there was no news from the assassins for a long time, so Guo Jia speculated a little, but after getting the exact news, he was still a little disappointed.
This move is still lost.
Since the assassin has been ambushed, most of them can find out that he is planning behind it.
"It's weird."
The attendant approached with a jar of wine, and happened to hear Guo Jia's emotion, "What is the military advisor talking about?" ”
"Sun Ce will be avenged, but isn't it strange that Jiangdong has not reacted to the attack on Wu Hou so far?" Guo Jia opened the small altar, and without waiting for the attendant to pour it into the wine utensils, he poured it directly into his mouth.
But in the blink of an eye, the wine jar was empty, and the wine was in his stomach, Fang Jue was very happy, "This should be another tribute bar rewarded by the lord." It's really extraordinary! ”
"Exactly. The new wine sent by Qingzhou, His Majesty rewarded some to Lord Sikong, and Lord Sikong rewarded all the military advisors. ”
Cao Cao is also a good drinker, but in the past two years, he has had a severe head wind, and he has to take care of it more according to the doctor's instructions.
Guo Jia smiled proudly, "I'm afraid it's not Sikong reward, but Mrs. Bian's reward!" ”
Cao Cao couldn't resist the temptation, and couldn't help but secretly drink a few sips behind his back, and Mrs. Bian had no choice but to give a lot of fine wine treasured in the house to the generals and military advisors as a reward.
When Cao Cao found that his wine cellar had been moved, although he was a little angry, he was helpless.
Guo Jia was enjoying the slightly drunken feeling brought by the wine, but another attendant hurriedly ran in, "Army...... Strategist! Oh no! ”
The attendant looked panicked, and took the letter brought by Yingchuan, "Military advisor, lady and little son......"
Guo Jia sat up straight, "What's wrong?" ”
The attendant was frightened, "Madame has a miscarriage, and the little boy has also lost his soul, and he has a high fever for several days." ”
Guo Jia was slightly stunned and said sharply, "What's the matter?" ”
Sun Quan knew that Guo Jiayuan was in Xudu, and there were many strong generals guarding the guards in Sikong Mansion, and Guo Jia had many tricks, so he couldn't move easily.
But Guo Jia's wife Dong is far away in Yangzhai, Yingchuan, and even his son Guo Yi is also in Yingchuan with Dong, so it is much easier to move their ideas than Guo Jia.
Dong took Guo Yi to wander around the garden, and when he returned to the room, the maid said that someone from Xuchang had sent a few spice boxes to his wife, and he specified that Dong could only open them himself.
The Dong family and the maids did not suspect him, they just thought that it was sent by Guo Jia again, and after opening it, the top layer was indeed spices and cloths, and the Dong family also exchanged Guo Yi for it, thinking that they could make a few new clothes for the child by comparing the colors and patterns.
Unexpectedly, there were a few heads hidden, and even the eyeballs were gone, and thousands of white insect repellent worms writhed in the empty eye sockets, staring at Dong and Guo Yi deadly.
Dong was directly stunned, and Guo Yi and several maids were also screaming in fright.
Then Dong's dress saw blood, and the child in the womb could not be saved, and Guo Yi was also in constant night terrors, nightmares, and the high fever did not go away for days, and people were about to burn out.
The people of the Guo Mansion immediately sent someone to find the whereabouts of the gift-giver, but no one knew what the gift-giver looked like, and they didn't know where to look for this person's traces.
But how smart Guo Jia was, how could he not guess that there were a total of six heads, which must be the heads of the assassins he had placed in Cao Qian's team. This is Jiangdong's warning and revenge against him.
"Jiangdong Sun Ce is a child, it is really a ruthless method." Guo Jia gritted his back molars and almost crushed the wine glass in his hand.
At this time, Sun Ce, who carried the pot for his younger brother, was half-leaning on Yuan Langlang's body and drinking medicine.
Although the dry stream water can speed up the recovery of the wound, Wu Pu used a knife to dig out the rotten flesh in the wound, and then wiped it with the dry stream water, the wound gradually grew, but such a serious injury and high fever for days still wiped out Sun Ce's foundation.
Even if the dining room made a lot of nourishing and appetizing dishes and soups according to Mrs. Wu's intentions, Sun Ce couldn't eat a few bites, and people lost weight when they saw it, and it was very difficult to even say a few more words.
Seeing that his brother, who was obviously fighting the world on horseback, was now so weak, Sun Quan secretly wiped his tears a few times behind Sun Ce's back.
"Zhongmou, you go and bring the bronze mirror and show it to me."
Sun Ce looked at himself reflected in the bronze mirror, his face was haggard, his lips were gray, his eyes were sunken, his nose bones were steep, and even his eyes were dull.
On the right side of his cheek, there is also a long scar, which adds a bit of hideousness to the person in the mirror.
Sun Ce gloomily put down the bronze mirror in his hand, his body is weak now, and he needs to be supported by someone to walk on the ground, and he can't help but sigh a little more, "In this way, can you still make meritorious contributions?" ”
The bronze mirror was thrown to the ground with a heavy thud. Sun Quan immediately shook Sun Ce's hand and comforted, "Brother must not be discouraged inside and outside, even Doctor Wu said that as long as he takes care of himself, his brother will be able to recover and be as healthy as ever." Jiangdong is still peaceful now, that is, there are young people who are ready to move, there are military advisors and good generals inside and outside, all waiting for the elder brother to recover from illness, and the soldiers are going westward! ”
Sun Ce looked at the anxious appearance of the younger brother in front of him, reached out and touched his cheek, "I'm just lamenting, you have a lot of words waiting for you." When I was seriously ill when I was attacked, it was up to you and the Qiao family to sit in charge both inside and outside, so there was no big mess, but I didn't leave the mansion for a long time, and outsiders also had a lot of speculation. I thought that in a few days, my uncle would get married, and I should also give a gift for my brother, so as to stop the rumors outside.
It's just a self-portrait in the mirror, in such a dying state, even I can't bear to look at it anymore, let alone others? It's a pity that my grandson Bofu has been thinking about the overlord of Western Chu and the champion Hou all his life, but at this time he is lingering on the sickbed, and I don't know when I will be able to regain my grip on the spear and gallop on the battlefield. ”
Sun Quan said, "Yes, brother." Fortune ups and downs, all have timings. Doesn't it all say, 'Heaven will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and benefit what they can't.'"
Now is the time for emptiness, and my brother can't talk about his frustration. Brother A's complexion today is actually better than yesterday. Mrs. Yuan can be a witness to her younger brother! ”
Sun Quan was afraid that Sun Ce would not believe it, so he looked at Yuan Langlang behind Sun Ce, Yuan Langlang understood, and echoed, "The prince is already able to eat by himself today, and it can be seen that his body is also recovering day by day."
It is said that illness is like a thread, and it always takes some time. Jiangdong is still peaceful, there is a war, and the prince is not the general, but the general, and he has his own elite soldiers and strong generals to defend Jiangdong for the prince and marquis to resist the attack. ”
