It was already noon when Sun Ce arrived.

The scorching sun was shining brightly, and the water was sparkling.

Several painted boats were docked quietly by the river, and the matchmaker was standing on the bow to greet them.

She was still wearing the same red dress, with red face and red lips, enchanting and charming. The breeze blowing through her hair brought a refreshing feeling to the sultry heat.

"My dear general, it is a great honor for me to come here today."

When Sun Ce was stationed in front of him, the matchmaker smiled and bowed, and then led Sun Ce sideways into the boat.

"The wine and food have been prepared on the ship. Sir, please come with me!"

The sound was crisp and sweet, like a bell blowing in the breeze, refreshing.

Although the matchmaker came from a wealthy family, she adhered to etiquette and kept herself clean. In addition, she had excellent piano skills and outstanding beauty. Even compared with many young ladies from aristocratic families, she was even better.

Although the children of aristocratic families pay attention to being well-matched, the "lotus" that emerges from the mud and remains unsullied seems to be more intoxicating than the "peony" in the boudoir.

She is a famous singer in Jianghuai.

The person she likes is actually me?

Sun Ce nodded slightly in confusion and followed the matchmaker into the boat.

Four of the accompanying guards followed the boat, while the others surrounded the boat and guarded the surrounding area to prevent thieves from approaching.

······

While Sun Ce was drinking and eating, he was listening to the matchmaker's sweet music and moving songs, but he didn't know that Jianye City had been turned upside down at this moment.

But today is different from the past.

I once felt a sense of comfort in my heart when I looked at beautiful women and fine wine.

Do you often wonder whether the beautiful figure behind the bead curtain will be fascinated by your own peerless style?

To her, is she different?

However, at this moment, my heart actually became a little trembling.

This feeling is like having a new love but coming here to break up with the old love.

If Sun Quan hadn't told him about the matchmaker's feelings for him, he might not have come here again. There was a sense of responsibility that drove Sun Ce to see her.

The song is over.

Sun Ce clapped his hands and praised: "The matchmaker has extraordinary talent and beauty, which is rare in the world. Why not become a good girl as soon as possible? I wonder how many talented people from Jiangdong want to marry girls."

The matchmaker didn't answer.

The beautiful figure slowly stood up, walked from behind the bead curtain to the front of the bead curtain, and stared at Sun Ce with her beautiful eyes.

"Sun Lang, can you stay the night tonight?"

Sun Ce's hand shook and a few drops of wine spilled out. He was so close that he almost lost his grip on the glass.

The hardest thing to accept is the kindness of a beautiful woman.

I promised Xin'er that I would never flirt with women or touch other women.

Sun Ce panicked and quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at her: "Ce is getting married soon, and I promised Xin'er that I will never get involved with women in the future. The girl fell in love with the wrong girl."

The matchmaker bit her red lips gently, and with trembling hands, she gently pulled her shirt down to her chest, revealing her snow-white shoulders and white underwear. She sat down on Sun Ce's lap slightly stiffly.

"The matchmaker knows that Sun Lang likes the eldest daughter of the Qiao family. The matchmaker does not dare to ask for more. She only hopes that Sun Lang will give the matchmaker a title and let her be a concubine."

A sweet smell penetrated Sun Ce's nostrils, making him feel dizzy.

I couldn't help but swallow my saliva, my chest was pounding.

If a beautiful woman throws herself into her arms, how many men can stop her?

What's more, he was still a woman whom he had liked and admired.

Sun Ce's hands unconsciously wanted to hug the woman in his arms.

"You said you like me because I'm prettier than others! You men are all like this. Soon, you will fall in love with another woman again!"

This sentence suddenly echoed in my ears.

He stood up suddenly, his stool fell aside, and Sun Ce tried his best to push the matchmaker away.

He took a deep breath, clasped his fists and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Matchmaker, I have failed to live up to my love. I have to leave."

The matchmaker grabbed Sun Ce who turned around and left, her eyes blurred and she was about to cry.

"Sun Lang, isn't the matchmaker beautiful enough?"

Sun Ce looked back at her eyes and said: "You are beautiful, but I have a woman that I will never forget. I promised her that I would not touch other women. I was afraid of losing her. This fear surpassed everything else, so I

Must go."

The matchmaker froze, remembering something, put her shirt back on, took two steps back and turned her face away.

Sun Ce turned around to leave, but heard the matchmaker sigh quietly: "Yes, the matchmaker also has someone he will never forget. The matchmaker knows that she is not good enough for him, and just wants to watch him secretly and do things for him silently. Sir, you are a

Good man, but I'm afraid you won't be able to leave tonight."

Sun Ce was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately became alert. He walked quickly to the edge and picked up the weapon, but suddenly he felt that there was no strength left in his body. The sword that was usually as light as a feather now seemed as heavy as a stone.

"Haha, of course, Miss Matchmaker doesn't plan to accompany you tonight. Uncle Sun, Fu."

The door was gently pushed open and a person walked in.

Sun Ce frowned and said in surprise: "Xu Gong!"

Xu Gong shook his head and frivolously clasped his fists and said, "That's right, that's right."

By now, Sun Ce had naturally noticed that something strange happened today. He narrowed his eyes and glared at Xu Gong, asking, "What do you want to do?"

Xu Gong lowered his head and chuckled a few more times, then raised his head and said, "Of course I want to kill you."

"With you?" Sun Ce feigned anger, pulled out his sword and smiled coldly.

Xu Gong raised his hands and looked around: "That's right! Just rely on me!"

"Sun Ce, stop pretending. Are you feeling weak all over now and can't exert any strength?"

Sun Ce's eyelids twitched. It seemed that the food and drinks just now had indeed influenced him.

How is it possible?

"How is that possible?"

Xu Gong spread his hands, as if he had seen through Sun Ce's question.

"How is it impossible?"

His pretentious manner makes people angry just by looking at him.

"I know that Mr. Ji has been particularly vigilant since the new law was promulgated. He has already told the guards that before the food and wine are delivered to you, you must use a silver needle to test for poison. Even if there is no poison reaction, the few dead soldiers you have with you will

I have to taste it myself first, and then I can send it to you after confirming it is correct."

Having said this, Xu Gong couldn't help but applaud.

"Master Ji is so meticulous, as if he knew someone was trying to harm you! I was really troubled for a long time, but then I thought about it, as long as it's not poisonous, then wouldn't it be no problem?"

"Shixiang Ruanjin Powder. Have you never heard of it?"

"This is what the madams of brothels use specifically to deal with disobedient young children. After a dose, the consciousness is still clear and there is no problem, but gradually the body becomes weak, and finally there is no strength to even move.

.In this way, those guest officials can play however they want."

"Haha, is it hard to find a matchmaker here?"

"As for your guards, they've tried the food and wine, so they can hide as far away as they want. How can they still stand at the door and listen to you and the matchmaker having sex?"

Hearing this, Sun Ce couldn't help but said angrily: "Xu Gong, I, Sun Ce, feel that I have never treated you badly, why do you want to harm me like this?"

Xu Gong hesitated for a moment, then restrained himself a little, and said seriously: "Sir, you have indeed not treated Xu Gong badly, but you have a grudge against Xu Gong!"

Sun Quan thought that I wanted to cling to him and gain important positions, but he didn't know that I was just using him to achieve my goals.

Xu Gong shouted excitedly.

"I only have one lord to whom I wish to pay tribute, and that is Lord Wang Lang."

From spreading rumors and slandering Sun Ce after Shen Qi's death, to cooperating with Guiying to exchange information, to inciting Sun Quan's hatred towards Sun Ce, then to bewitching Liu Yao to rebel, and finally personally planning and executing the assassination, everything was done to avenge the lord! He said happily.

"Hahaha, lord, I have finally waited for this day. Xu Gong will avenge you with his own hands today!"

After saying that, Xu Gong pulled out a dagger and walked slowly over.

"Sir, you should be satisfied. Do you know how much thought I put into setting up this stage? How many plays I performed?"

"Really?" The door was suddenly kicked open violently.

A knife is as fast as lightning.

Just now, I was a little worried that the effect of the medicine would not be fully effective, so I deliberately said some words to annoy Sun Ce to waste some time, but now Xu Gong regretted it.

Looking at Sun Ce who relaxed and slumped down weakly in front of him.
