Sun Shangxiang left with the sword, but Sun Quan did not come back to his senses for a long time. During this period, his mother cared about her sister's lifelong affairs, and he also worried about it, but in his heart, he always considered which general was suitable or the son of a minister.

It was not until his sister closed her eyes and picked the Qingyue Sword given by Liu Jing that he suddenly had an idea, how to marry Jiang Xia?

Zhou Yu once mentioned this, and they also joked at the cocktail party, but Sun Quan did not take it seriously. After all, Liu Jing has already married, so did his sister be the second wife? Obviously it is not realistic, and his mother will not

agree.

But if it is for political reasons, then the marriage with Liu Jing will undoubtedly be conducive to the expansion of Jiangdong in the south and can eliminate each other's suspicion.

Sun Quan was walking in the room with his hands behind his back. He was weighing the matter left and right. In fact, Sun Quan didn't care whether his sister was the eldest or the second wife. With Jiangdong as his backer, his status was not important.

The key is that this idea came too suddenly, and Sun Quan could not accept it for a while, and would Liu Jing agree? Is Shang Xiang himself willing? How can my mother explain it?

Sun Quan also felt that it was difficult. This matter was not so easy to decide and unlikely.

At this time, a guard reported at the door: "Report to the Marquis of Wu, the Captain Lu has an urgent matter to ask for a meeting!"

The Lu school captain is Lu Su. After the Battle of Chibi, Lu Su was promoted to the Zan Army Captain for his contribution to the Sun and Liu alliance. He was also responsible for Sun Quan's external contacts. Sun Quan received news three days ago that the court sent envoys to Jiangdong and Sun Quan

Then he ordered Lusu to cross the river to greet him.

Now that Lu Su is asking for a visit, it must be that the envoy of the court has arrived. Sun Quan was excited and hurriedly said, "Let him come in!"

Soon, Lu Su hurried in and bowed, "See Marquis of Wu!"

Sun Quan waved his hand, "No need to be polite, let's talk about the court envoy. Why did he come for his purpose?"

"The court was Yang You, the head of the Honglu, who came to Jiangdong by the emperor's order. There were two things he had come to Jiangdong. One was to thank the emperor for his gift for the emperor, and the second was to come to enthrone Gongjin and De?"

"Canceled Chengpu?" Sun Quan was stunned for a moment. He asked for a while: "What is the Canceled Chengpu?"

Lu Su sighed and said, "I grant Gongjin the Marquis of Xia Shuiting, and at the same time, Cheng Demou the Prefect of Nanjun."

Sun Quan felt even more confused and asked again: "But Nanjun is now in Cao Cao's hands. What's the point of signing Gongjin as the prefect of Nanjun?"

Although Lu Su disagreed with it, as a subordinate, he could not hide his lord. "Yang You also brought a letter from Cao Cao!"

Lu Su took out a letter and submitted it to Sun Quan, "Yang You said that if Cheng Pu accepted the position of prefect of Nan County, then Cao's army would give Jiangling and even the entire Nan County to Jiangdong."

Sun Quan took the letter and looked at it. It was indeed Cao Cao's handwritten letter, and the Prime Minister's Seal. The letter made it very clear that Cao's army was willing to give Jiangling to Jiangdong. Cao Cao promised in the letter that as long as Jiangdong troops arrived, Cao's army would immediately

withdraw troops.

Sun Quan couldn't help but be moved. Although he knew very well that this was Cao Cao's plan to disagree, this opportunity was once a lifetime, and the benefits were so tempting.

Sun Quan immediately ordered his left and right, "Go and invite Military Commander Zhang and Senior General Cheng!"

Lu Su sighed in his heart, he knew that Sun Quan was moved by Cao Cao's temptation, but unfortunately Gongjin was not in Jingkou, and hoped that Gongjin could come back as soon as possible.

Sun Shangxiang walked out angrily. During this period, her mother was thinking about lifelong events every day, which made her ears almost hear calluses. She sneaked out to relax. When she saw her brother, she went to the harem to visit her sister-in-law again.

Unexpectedly, the second sister-in-law told her that she would be betrothed to Gu Yong's son Gu Ji and would soon ask a matchmaker to propose marriage.

This made Sun Shangxiang shocked and angry. How could her marriage be so sloppy? Moreover, she knew Gu Ji and worked as a guard in the palace. Although she looked good and could speak well, she didn't like it at all.

She turned against her face on the spot, quarreled with her second sister-in-law, and left angrily. Sun Shangxiang turned on her horse, whipped the war horse, and urged the horse to run away.

Sun Shangxiang rushed out of the city gate and ran all the way. Soon after, she came to the Yangtze River. She turned over and got off the horse and knelt down by the river. Her second sister-in-law's words kept echoing in her ears.

"Don't blame me for this matter. This is what my mother means. The person was decided by your second brother, and my mother agreed. I just went to discuss with the Gu family, and Mrs. Gu also agreed. Little sister, you are going to be a new wife.

Bar!"

At this time, Sun Shangxiang wanted to cry. Why can't she decide her own marriage? She must force her to marry someone she doesn't like and ruin her life's happiness.

Sun Shangxiang's lips gradually clenched, no! She would never accept her fate, she must fight for her own marriage.

Sun Shangxiang suddenly stood up, then turned over to the horse, "Hold!" He kicked the horse's belly with both feet, and the war horse ran towards the city.

Iron City is divided into inner city and outer city. The inner city is the Eastern Wu Palace and the various government offices, while the outer city is ordinary residential houses. However, the capital has just moved to it, and there are large open spaces in the outer city, with only sparse houses.

Most of them are official residences, as well as some foresighted merchants.

There is an official residence covering an area of ​​about ten acres in the northwest corner of the outer city. This is the residence of Zuo Sima Gu Yong. Sun Shangxiang urged the horse to run all the way, and soon rushed to the front of the Gu family's house. She held a bow and arrow in her hand and said with a beautiful voice.

He shouted: "Gu Ji, come out for me!"

A butler saw Sun Shangxiang through the crack in the door and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Why did he mess with this aunt? He had to open the door and whisper: "Princess Shangxiang, my third son said he didn't want to see you, go back!"

Sun Shangxiang was furious and pulled the bow and arrows. The sharp arrow pointed at him. The housekeeper was so scared that he instinctively shrank his neck, turned around and ran away, and closed the door with a loud bang.

‘Swoosh!’

An arrow shot out and nailed it to the gate. Sun Shangxiang pulled out another arrow and shot it again, nailed it to the gate, shooting three arrows in a row. This is a custom in Wu. The matchmaker came to discuss marriage, and the marriageee would usually return one.

There is only a box. If you agree to marriage, you will put a pair of chopsticks in the box.

If you refuse or do not accept the proposal, you will return three chopsticks to the suitor, indicating that it is difficult to pair.

This is a very tactful way of expression, which does not make the matchmaker embarrassed, and the other party knows it well, so the matter of discussing marriage will be left unresolved.

But when she arrived at Sun Shangxiang, she sent three arrows, which was called "refusing marriage with Wu". The people around her suddenly burst into laughter. At this time, Gu Ji, who was hiding behind the door, finally couldn't bear it anymore and opened the door and rushed out.

.

"Princess Shangxiang, what do you want!" Gu Ji shouted angrily.

Sun Shangxiang pulled the bow like a full moon, pointed it at him, and said coldly: "Go and tell your parents that it is best not to do some things, otherwise it will be a humiliation!"

Her strings loosened, and the wolf-toothed arrow shot out like lightning. Gu Ji was so scared that he screamed, his legs trembled and weak, "Puff!" With a crisp sound, the arrow shot through his head

He was so shocked that he sat down on the ground. After a while, he got up and rolled and ran to the mansion.

Sun Shangxiang sneered repeatedly. It was a dream that she dared to marry her such a cowardly abolished person. She turned her head and ran towards Beigushan.

Soon, Gu Yong hurried out when he heard the news. Sun Shangxiang was gone. He looked at the arrows inserted on his son's head, then at the crowd watching in the distance and the three arrows nailed to the door. He was so angry that he

His face turned blue and he turned around and shouted at his wife angrily.

"You are crazy. You actually want to marry the sister of Wu Hou. Who among Jiangdong dares to marry her? Take a look at it yourself. She has already expressed her determination so much. Do you still want to humiliate yourself?"

Mrs. Gu lowered her head in fear. She wanted to marry Wu Hou and agreed to Wu Hou. Unexpectedly, Princess Shangxiang was so strong that she came to the door to refuse marriage with force. She secretly regretted it and said, "Master,

I didn't agree to anything."

"Hmph! You can do it yourself!" Gu Yong snorted heavily and walked into the mansion.

In the study, Sun Quan paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back. On the other side, Zhang Zhao and Cheng Jin both looked serious. They all understood that this was Cao Cao who was provoking the relationship between Jiangdong and Jiangxia, but the real interests were in front of him.

They had to be moved.

Zhang Zhao has always been dissatisfied with the Chibi alliance. Although Jiangxia's army sent a lot of spoils, including ships, tents and money, Jiangdong really needed no food and population. It is said that this is because of Zhou Yu and Liu Jing.

The signing of a secret agreement made Zhang Zhao extremely angry. He wrote letters to Sun Quan several times to impeach Zhou Yu for his crime of being abusing himself.

Although the impeachment of Zhou Yu was left unresolved because of Sun Quan's unwillingness to pursue it, Sun Quan also knew that he must appease Zhang Zhao appropriately, otherwise the imbalance of power within Jiangdong would cause serious consequences.

Strictly speaking, Zhang Zhao is not a pro-Cao faction. He should be a southern unification faction. He strongly advocated Jiangdong to unify the south and form a confrontation between the north and the south. However, due to the strong advance of Cao's army, Zhang Zhao's southern unification proposal was not adopted by Sun Quan, and Sun Quan finally
To be continued...
