Chapter 658 Don't Force Me
Liu Xun suddenly became anxious and stepped forward to chase Liu Ba, but was caught by two guards. He glared at Chen Duan fiercely, turned around and squeezed towards Sun Ce. Sun Ce stood high and looked far away, and had already seen the dispute at the door, so he gestured to Liu Xun, indicating that he should not be anxious. Liu Xun felt happy and glanced at Chen Duan proudly. Chen Duan turned a blind eye and smiled.
Sun Ce said a few more words, bowed down amid the thunderous cheers of the craftsmen. The craftsmen made a clear pass, applauded and bid farewell to Sun Ce, reluctant to leave. Sun Ce left the wooden school and walked towards the prefect's mansion beside him. Liu Xun rushed over and told what had just happened. Finally, he did not forget to tell Chen Duan about it, saying that he and Liu Ba were both scholars, covering each other and insulting the warriors.
Sun Ce laughed in his heart. Although Liu Xun was rough and generous, he was soft enough, and was born a slander. No wonder he was able to make a fortune under Cao Cao's command. However, he was more concerned about Liu Ba's whereabouts. Liu Ba's father Liu Xiang was the prefect of Jiangxia, and the general of the devil. He raised an army to fight against Dong with Sun Jian. He had a good relationship because Sun Jian killed Zhang Zi, the prefect of Nanyang, and the people of Nanyang fought back. Liu Xiang unfortunately died in battle. With this relationship, they should be very close. Liu Ba did not come to meet when he arrived in Nanyang, which was not in line with the routine.
Sun Ce's eyes rolled and he understood Liu Ba's thoughts. This famous young man was very arrogant and looked down upon by the warriors the most. After entering Shu, Zhang Fei kept pleasing him. He was unwilling to pay attention to Zhang Fei and refused to even talk to Zhang Fei, which made Zhang Fei very depressed. In Liu Ba's heart, Sun Ce was naturally a warrior and had nothing to talk about.
"How did you know him?"
Liu Xun said: "He came from Jiangling with us. General, I think he might want to go to Chang'an."
Sun Ce didn't say anything, and felt a little sad. The court was the court. Although many people no longer took him seriously, many people still followed him. Even after thirty years, Cao Cao was in power and was only one place away from the throne, and there were still some people fighting to maintain the imperial power. Now that the power of the Han Dynasty is still there, the attraction cannot be underestimated.
Seeing that Sun Ce had lost the following text and did not blame Chen Duan, Liu Xun closed his mouth awkwardly and stepped aside. After a while, Sun Ce remembered them and asked for his wishes. Chen Duan said that he was ready and could set off at any time. He heard that Sun Ce came to Mu Academy, and he came to ask if he had any instructions. Sun Ce had seen Huang Yueying and knew that their father and daughter were not interested in the head of the Huang family in Jiangxia, so he adjusted the plan and mainly used to threaten the Huang family to cooperate, so he would not take the position of the head of the family. If the Huang family did not cooperate, punish them according to law and be a typical example, but do not act randomly, so as not to be caught and cause the Jiangxia people to rebound.
Chen Duan understood and took Liu Xun there.
After entering the prefect's mansion, Yang Hong was busy in the hall, and the officials came and went. When they saw Sun Ce coming in, they were all surprised and quickly came up to greet them. The officials also came to salute. Sun Ce signaled the officials to go for work, leaving only Yang Hong. The two of them did not come to the hall, and stood in the courtyard and watched the wax plum blossoms in full bloom. The translucent yellow flowers were as warm and transparent as jade, with a fragrance that was refreshing and refreshing.
"I want to inform you about something. The envoy from the court has arrived in Xixian and is coming to Wancheng. You are ready to receive it."
Yang Hong remained silent. Yuan Yao and Yang Xiu were in contact with the Nanyang family to check the complaints against him. This was naturally due to Sun Ce's instructor. Sun Ce wanted to drive him away. Now he came to ask him to arrange to receive envoys from the court. Naturally, it was not as simple as passing a message. Maybe he would think of something bad to punish him. He thought for a long time before lifting his eyelids and said quietly: "The general decided to receive envoys from the Nanyang Prefectural Palace?"
Sun Ce turned his head to look at Yang Hong, his eyes as if he was looking at an idiot. Yang Hong was angry, but he couldn't have an attack, so he could only confront Sun Ce with a stiff face. After a while, Sun Ce withdrew his gaze and said lightly: "Tell me clearly, I won't let you stay in Nanyang, let alone you stay by Yuan Yao's side. I will give you face and don't want to tear your face. If you are not tactful, you must force me to move. Don't blame me for being discredited at that time."
Yang Hong smiled bitterly. He knew that he was an abandoned son, and his role was to bear Sun Ce's attack. He knew that he could not defeat him, but he could only bear it. Only in this way would he have the opportunity to stay Yang Xiu. Sun Ce asked Yang Xiu to deal with the complaint against him, which was not surprising. On the contrary, it was a good thing, which meant that their plan was moving forward one step further, and Sun Ce had fallen into the trap without realizing it.
"Nanyang is the birthplace of the martial arts lecture hall. The court wants to build a martial arts lecture hall to revive the martial arts spirit. The envoy comes to Nanyang first, which is an affirmation of Nanyang. In short, the Nanyang martial arts lecture hall is also about one anniversary. Take this opportunity to celebrate and hold a martial arts competition so that ordinary people can also bathe in the spirit of reform in the court. This matter is organized by the prefect's office. It must be done decently, and it cannot be wasted. You also know the family background of Nanyang. I don't want to owe money inexplicably."
Yang Hong couldn't help but sneer. "You must be decent and not wasteful. The general's requirements are really high."
Sun Ce was not angry, and said slowly: "Yes, my requirements have always been relatively high, not everyone can satisfy me." As he said that, he greeted the clerk who greeted the clerk while walking out. Yang Hong's face turned pale and his eyes twitched, but he could do nothing. The clerks seemed to be busy with their own things, not paying special attention to them, secretly pricking their ears, hearing their words clearly, knowing that Yang Hong would not be able to stay for long, so he gave each other a knowing smile.
After leaving the prefect's palace, Sun Ce rushed to the Iron Office. The weapons used for the competition were being built by the Iron Officer. Sun Ce was worried and wanted to see them with his own eyes. When he arrived at the Iron Officer's office, he saw Liu Bei and others at a glance. Guan Yu was too tall, and even standing in the crowd, he could see them at a glance, not to mention that there were not many people in front of the Iron Officer's office.
Seeing Sun Ce and his party riding their horses, Liu Bei hurriedly met him, and Guan Yu reached out and grabbed Liu Bei.
"Xuande, forget it."
"Chen Yun, we are about to leave Nanyang. If we can't ask Dajiang Huang to build a weapon for you, it will be difficult to have a chance in the future. Maybe, I'll ask General Sun, so you don't need to come forward."
While speaking, Sun Ce had already come to them, strangled his mount, and looked at them. "Why are you here?"
Liu Bei came to Sun's horse, reached out to hold the reins of the horse, and smiled and said, "General, I have something to ask for, so please let the general be content."
"What's up?"
"I want to ask Dajiang Huang to build a weapon for Chief Yun." Liu Bei smiled even more earnestly, almost begging. "Nanyang has the best iron smelting skills in the world and the best craftsman. After leaving Nanyang, I am afraid there will be no such opportunity again. Before leaving, I want to build a unique weapon for Chief Yun, and ask the general to plead with Dajiang Huang."
