Zhuge Jin chatted with his brother for a few words, but it was too much for people to talk about, so he had to leave in a hurry.
"Kong Ming! If Liu Bei has nowhere to go, just come and find him as your brother!"
"Thank you, brother! Brother, I will definitely find a hegemony for Uncle Liu and the young master!"
"You! You haven't changed at all! You still like to compare yourself to Guan Zhongleyi!"
Zhuge Jin knew that he couldn't persuade his brother, so he had no choice but to pat his brother on the shoulder, and then took out the food box he had prepared.
"This is?"
"You used to love eating the snacks I made! That day Xuzhou was captured by Cao Cao, and I, the Zhuge clan, had no choice but to wander to Jingzhou to take refuge!"
“The past is too painful to look back on!”
“Try it!”
Zhuge Liang took the snack and put it in his mouth. It still tasted the same as before.
"Kong Ming! As the chief historian of the Marquis of Wu, I hope you will not drag Jiangdong into the situation and become Cao Cao's enemy!"
Zhuge Jin looked serious, then softened his tone and said, "As an elder brother! I hope you can convince Wu Hou and achieve great achievements!"
After saying that, Zhuge Jin didn't look back, as if he had never seen his brother before tonight.
Zhuge Liang held the snack in his hand and said with emotion: "Brother... thank you very much!"
…
The next day.
Liu Mang and Zhuge Liang, led by Lu Xun, came to Wuhou's mansion again.
This time there were indeed more guards than before, and Dong Xi even patrolled the area himself, just to guard against Liu Mang's master and apprentice.
"Yesterday Ling Tong said that the Marquis of Wu had ordered General Dong Xi to be on guard against anyone with ulterior motives."
Lu Xun looked at Liu Mang and Zhuge Liang, obviously he meant something.
"However, Boyan already had a plan to help the young master enter Wuhou's residence!"
Lu Xun cleared his throat and signaled Liu Mang and Zhuge Liang not to move.
"When a scholar encounters a soldier, he cannot explain why he is right!"
"Alas! Lu Boyan, I'm afraid he's going to suffer something serious!"
The master and apprentice could only place their hope in Lu Xun, but they saw Lu Boyan walking towards Dong Xi.
"Lu Xun? You nerd, you want to see Wu Hou?"
"General Dong Xi, may I ask if the princess is in the house?"
"Hmph! So what if you are here? How can the princess fall in love with a pretty boy like you?"
Lu Xun took a deep breath and said with a smile: "Then I'm relieved! Princess! Young Master Liu Mang is here. Come and see him quickly!"
"Princess! Princess Shangxiang! Young Master Liu Mang is here!"
Lu Xun yelled, and the sound quickly reached the mansion.
"You bastard! What nonsense! How can my princess meet that Liu Mang? Give me a fight!"
Dong Xi was furious and pushed Lu Xun with his palm. The latter was caught off guard and staggered.
The soldiers under his command immediately beat and scolded Lu Xun.
"Bo Yan!"
When Liu Mang saw this, he was furious and stood up for Lu Luxun.
"Sir... don't come out! Otherwise, all your efforts will be in vain!"
Lu Xun wanted to yell to attract Sun Shangxiang to come out, and then Liu Mang showed up. The princess would definitely bring Liu Mang and Zhuge Liang to meet Wu Hou.
It's just that Lu Xun himself will be severely punished by Dong Xi, and even hated by Ling Tong and others.
But Lu Xun didn't care. After so many years of suffering, there was finally someone willing to think about him.
If a scholar dies for his confidant, what does it matter if he gets a beating?
"Come here! Drive them away! Don't mess around in Wuhou's house!"
"Yes, General!"
Just as Jiangdong soldiers were about to take action, they heard a loud shout.
"Stop it! Little Cucumber, I didn't expect you to actually come!"
Sun Shangxiang came in a hurry, and the two maids Ziyun and Qingluo looked at Liu Mang with smiles.
"Little Pepper! I kept my promise and came to Jiangdong to see you! Unfortunately, your dog barks so much that I dare not come in!"
Dong Xi was furious when he heard this, "You bastard! Do you dare to call me a dog?"
Snap!
Sun Shangxiang had a hot temper. He stepped forward and slapped Dong Xi, catching Dong Xi off guard.
"Who asked you to stop him? Didn't you know that this princess is engaged to him?"
"If you disrespect him, you are disrespecting the princess!"
Dong Xi was beaten and was a little confused. Although Sun Quan valued him very much, compared with his own sister, how could he be nothing?
"Princess Princess..."
"A dog looks down upon someone and knows how to embarrass me! If you don't take your dog slave with you, retreat!"
"yes!"
Dong Xi looked at Lu Xun fiercely. If it weren't for this pretty boy, how could he be slapped by the princess?
"Little cucumber, come in!"
Sun Shangxiang personally led the way, and no one in the Hou family dared to take the lead.
"Thank you very much, Princess! If you hadn't come forward, we would definitely not be able to see Wu Hou today."
"Sir, you're welcome! The second brother is like that. He didn't want to surrender in the first place, but my mother always made trouble with the eldest brother, so the second brother just wanted to escape."
Sun Shangxiang said worriedly: "Actually... the second brother is already stronger than the eldest brother in guarding Jiangdong. Don't think that my second brother is an uneducated person who is addicted to pot throwing!"
hehe!
Liu Mang and Zhuge Liang looked at each other and smiled. At least now Sun Quan is obsessed with fighting for the upper hand!
"Okay! You go in! Second brother won't let me get involved in state affairs!"
When Sun Shangxiang was about to leave, probably in his free and easy nature before, he shyly said: "Hey! Don't forget to come see me after you meet your second brother later!"
Lu Xun rubbed his eyes. He couldn't believe that Princess Shangxiang, who had always been unruly and willful, would be so accommodating to Young Master Liu Mang!
"It depends on your mood!"
Seeing that Sun Shangxiang was a little disappointed, Liu Mang smiled and said, "I'm in a good mood after seeing you today!"
After hearing this, Sun Shangxiang took Ziyun and Qingluo and left happily.
Liu Mang pushed open the door and walked in. Sun Quan had been waiting for a long time.
"I heard from Gong Jin that Mr. Liu Mang has no affection for my sister at all!"
"Why did you come to my house today and take advantage of my sister Aren?"
"If you dare to deceive Aren, don't blame my men for being ruthless!"
Seeing Sun Quan's blue eyes showing murderous intent, Zhuge Liang only regretted not bringing Zhao Yun here.
Lu Xun's back was covered with cold sweat, and he knelt down and said directly: "Wuhou, please calm down! Let the princess bring the young master and the husband into the palace. It was Boyan's idea and had nothing to do with the two of them!"
Whoosh!
Ling Tong took a step forward with a sharp blade in his hand and shouted angrily: "Lu Boyan! How brave you are! Even the princess dares to take advantage of it and help outsiders play tricks on the Marquis of Wu!"
The sharp blade was unsheathed and killed Lu Xun. The latter closed his eyes tightly and carried the Lu family on his shoulders. Dealing with the Sun family and the Lu family had already made him extremely tired.
Maybe, death is a kind of relief for him!
Liu Mang stepped forward, stood in front of Lu Xun, and said with a smile: "Is this the way Wu Hou treats guests? Treat us as soon as possible and throw them away after use?"
"I see that Marquis Wu gave a lot of gifts, and I don't care about those things! In my eyes, none of them are as valuable as Lu Boyan!"
"If Marquis Wu wants to kill Lu Boyan, then kill me first!"
When Zhuge Liang heard this, he angrily said: "Marquis Wu! The two armies are fighting, let alone the envoys who came here! How much more so now that my lord Liu Huangshu has come to form an alliance with sincerity!"
Sun Quan put his hands on his hands and laughed, "Lu Xun! You have been in my house for three years and you have never said a word! I don't want Master Liu Mang to intercede for you today!"
"It's easy to survive! How about playing a game with me to compete for the upper hand?"
Fight for the upper reaches?
Sun Quan had never looked down on Lu Xun's frail appearance, let alone those guys in Jiangdong who looked beyond the top and judged people by their appearance.
