Lu Yi followed Yan Xiang into the mansion.

In the hall, there are already a lot of people at the moment.

In the main seat of the hall, a middle-aged man dressed luxuriously, holding his chin with his left hand, looked melancholy.

Below him, on the left and right, two columns of people sat on each kneeling.

Sun Ce is kneeling at the end of the left side at the moment.

When Lu Yi came in, his face was full of spirit.

The reason why he was so happy was for nothing else.

It's because Yuan Shu summoned him over today to discuss the candidate for the Lujiang Taishou!

When he attacked Lujiang before, Yuan Shu promised him that as long as he took Lujiang, the position of Lujiang Taishou would be his.

Thinking that he served as the Taishou of Lujiang, ran Lujiang with Zhou Yu, grew rapidly, and inherited his father's legacy in the future, Sun Ce couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.

He saw the light!

Yan Xiang came in with Lu Yi and saluted the middle-aged man on the throne: "Duke Ming, bring it to the head of the nest." ”

The middle-aged man is none other than Yuan Shu, the eldest son of the Yuan family of the fourth and third dukes.

Yuan Shu waved his hand.

Yan Xiang took a few steps back, retreated to the fifth position in the right row, and sat down on his knees.

Lu Yi saluted Yuan Shu and said, "Lu Yi, the head of the nest, has seen Yuan Gong!" ”

Yuan Shu glanced at Lu Yi and said jokingly: "Juchao Chief, why are you here this time?" ”

Lu Yi raised his head and said with a serious face: "I came here for two things this time. ”

"First, Lu Kang's head, I want to take him back to Wu County for burial."

"The second is to take away the imprisoned clansmen of the Lu family."

Yuan Shu's face changed to a gloomy color and said, "You want to die?" Why did Lu Kang die, don't you know? You dare to come for his head! ”

Lu Yi said: "When people die, the lights go out, even if there is great hatred, they should be put down." ”

"What's more, Lu Kang offended Yuan Gong, not for his own selfishness, but because he was fulfilling the obligations of the courtiers of the Han Dynasty."

"Even if he dies, Lu Kang is still the Taishou of Lujiang and an important minister of the imperial court."

"Duke Yuan is also still a courtier of the Han Dynasty."

"They are all courtiers, they died for the court, and they should have enjoyed the treatment of scholars, even if the Son of Heaven came, it was the same reason, could it be that the power of Duke Yuan was greater than that of the Son of Heaven?"

Yuan Shu was speechless.

Seeing this, Yan Xiang hurriedly said: "Ming Gong, what the head of the nest said makes sense. Lu Kang is dead, but after all, he was an important minister of the Han Dynasty before his death, and his body should be taken away by his descendants for burial. ”

Yuan Shu nodded, and said to the outside of the hall: "Come on, go and get Lu Kang's head!" ”

An answer sounded outside the door.

Yuan Shu looked at Lu Yi at this time, and said with a displeased face: "Head Lu Kang, I let you take it away, Lu family members, why should I let you take it away?" What benefits can you give me? ”

Lu Yi said: "I came back from Xuzhou, and there are still a thousand Lujiang soldiers under my hands, all of whom are young and powerful, and they have experienced war, which is not comparable to ordinary soldiers." ”

Yuan Shu said: "Not enough. ”

Lu Yi took a deep breath, took out a box from his sleeve, opened it, and revealed the Juchao Changyin letter inside: "Yuan Gong, this is the Juchao Changyin letter, you haven't retrieved it yet." That is to say, at the moment, I am still the head of the nest. ”

Yuan Shu nodded and said, "So? ”

Lu Yi said: "Lujiang is now subordinate to Yuan Gong? ”

Yuan Shu said: "Yes." ”

Lu Yi said: "I am still the head of the nest, and Lujiang is under the rule of Yuan Gong, then I am an official under Yuan Gong, and Yuan Gong is my lord." What more benefits do courtiers need to ask their lords to protect their people? ”

"Could it be that in Yuan Gong's opinion, the officials under your rule need to offer benefits to you in order to impress you and protect their own people?"

Yuan Shu: "Of course not....... I'm an official, naturally—"

Lu Yi met Yuan Shu's gaze and didn't say any more.

Yuan Shu was halfway through speaking, and patted the case in front of him with a smile and said, "You are a good boy!" Believe it or not, if I'm angry now, I can have someone chop you to minced meat! ”

Lu Yi said: "I don't believe it. Yuan Gong is not an idle person, how can he become a tyrannical person because I am a small nest leader? What's the difference between that and Cao Cao? ”

"Who is Cao Cao? After the eunuchs. ”

"Who is Yuan Gong? After the fourth and third dukes, it is unspeakably expensive. ”

"I can't find a reason for Yuan Gong to surrender his identity and be willing to be with Cao Cao."

The whole hall burst into discussion in an instant.

Sun Ce looked at Lu Yi and was also a little surprised.

He'd seen this nest chief before.

At the time, though, he didn't care.

is so young, and he doesn't seem to have much force, he thought he was just an ordinary person, just because he had a relationship with Taishou Lu Kang, so he got a position as the head of the nest.

Therefore, he didn't pay attention at all, but noticed the person who was with him that day, the self-proclaimed "District A Unknown Youngster".

didn't expect that this person was still quite sharp-toothed.

was able to make Yuan Shu speechless.

Yan Xiang stood up again and said to Yuan Shu: "Duke Ming, what the head of the nest said makes sense. Moreover, now, Lu Kang is dead, and the remaining members of the Lu family are not guilty of death, so they can be brought back by the head of the nest. ”

Yuan Shu looked at Lu Yi depressedly and said, "Yes!" ”

Lu Yi bowed to Yuan Shu and thanked him.

Yuan Shu pointed to the last position, next to Sun Ce, and said, "Since you are the head of the nest and an official under my rule, today, you are allowed to participate in government affairs in this hall." ”

Lu Yi retreated to Sun Ce's side.

Outside the hall, two subordinates carried the case table to Lu Yi's side.

Yuan Shu looked at Lu Yi who was kneeling at the door, and he was still a little unhappy in his heart.

He's not happy today.

During this time, Sun Ce has been urging him to fulfill his promise openly and secretly and appoint him as the Taishou of Lujiang.

He's worried!

Although before Sun Ce attacked Lujiang, he did make a promise to Sun Ce.

But that was because he didn't believe that Sun Ce could take Lujiang.

After all, Sun Ce is still so young!

Who knows, he really did!

Now, do you really want to appoint Sun Ce as the Taishou of Lujiang?

Lujiang has the Zhou family of the second and third dukes!

This week's family's reputation in Yangzhou even surpassed that of his own Yuan family.

In case the Zhou family supports Sun Ce, this Sun Ce is so young, but he is so capable of fighting well, the consequences are unimaginable?

Therefore, he found several other powerful generals today, namely Zhang Xun, Liu Xun and others.

He wanted these people to serve as the Taishou of Lujiang, so as to squeeze Sun Ce away.

What he didn't expect was that in the face of Sun Ce, a junior, his generals would be cowardly!

That's right, cowardly!

Could it be that today you really want to hand over the position of Lujiang Taishou to Sun Ce?

Just when he was melancholy, suddenly, a smug crawl on his face.

The person in front of you, isn't he quite intimidating?

Moreover, he is a member of the Lu family and the Lu Kang family.

Sun Ce killed Lu Kang again.

If he stops him, he'll agree!

In this case, he appointed the position of Lujiang Taishou to others, and Sun Ce did not resent himself, but this Lu Yi!

If Sun Ce was furious and could kill this little nest chief, he would have a chance to cure Sun Ce for his crime at that time.

Sun Ce couldn't even blame himself!

Thinking of this, Yuan Shu smiled and said to Lu Yi: "Juchao Chief, since you are here, I have a problem here, and I have to test you." ”

Everyone looked at Lu Yi in unison.

Yuan Shu smiled and said: "Lu Kang is dead, and the position of Lujiang Taishou is still hanging." Now, I want to appoint Bo Fu as the Taishou of Lujiang, what do you think? ”

Sun Ce's face sank instantly.

Ask him?

I just killed Lu Kang, how could he agree?

Lu Yi looked at everyone with different expressions, glanced at Sun Ce, and said lightly: "I thought that Sun Bofu would not be competent." There are three reasons for this. ”

"One, the Lujiang River that Bo Fu won."

"Second, Bo Fu can fight well, brave and fierce, the overlord is alive, I would like to call it a little overlord. Bandits are rampant in the Lujiang area, and with him in charge, Lujiang will definitely be peaceful. ”

"Third, the Zhou family is a famous family of the second and third dukes, who doesn't know Yangzhou? Who doesn't know? Zhou Yu, the youngest son of the Zhou family, and Sun Bofu are friends of the general horn, and their relationship is closer than that of brothers. ”

"If you change to someone else and anger the Zhou family, who can bear the consequences?"

"Only when Sun Bofu goes over, will the Zhou family be satisfied, and Lujiang will be stable."

Sun Ce looked at Lu Yi in a daze.

What kind of medicine is sold in this long gourd?

He actually supported himself to be the Taishou of Lujiang!

The others also looked at Lu Yi in disbelief.

Sun Ce killed your Lu family patriarch Lu Kang!

You don't even hate him, and you still support him as the Taishou of Lujiang?

Incomprehensible!

Yuan Shu was also dumbfounded.

This head of the nest actually let go of his hatred and now supports Sun Ce?

What else does this make you say?

Could it be that Lu Jiang is too guarded, and he really wants Sun Ce to take the role?

Yan Xiang's face was covered with coldness.

This set of rhetoric, before at the door, this nest chief said it!

He also said that Sun Ce will dominate the world like Yuan Shu!

also said that his relationship with the Zhou family was extraordinary.

If Yuan Shu really appointed Sun Ce as the Taishou of Lujiang, wouldn't it really be in response to what he said: Sun Ce wants to leave Yuan Shu and become the hidden dragon who encounters the wind and clouds, and he will be the enemy of Yuan Shu in the future and dominate one side?

Absolutely not!

You can't sit back and watch this happen!

Thinking of this, Yan Xiang said sharply: "No! ”

Everyone looked at Yan Xiang in unison.

Yan Xiang pointed at Sun Ce and said, "How old is Sun Bofu?" How many wars have you been through? Just because of a victory, let him hold such an important position as Lujiang Taishou? ”

Pointing at Zhang Xun, Liu Xun and other generals, Yan Xiang sneered: "What about them? Which of them didn't follow Yuan Gong from birth to death? How many battles did they win? Who of them has held such an important position now? Fair? ”
