Sun Ce's thigh was injured and bleeding profusely, and he could not stand up. He collapsed on the ground, his face looking extremely ferocious due to pain.
He looked at Zhou Yu, who came to help, with an apologetic expression.
This time, it's him.
If he hadn't gone his own way, he wouldn't have been plotted by Lu Xuan and dragged down his good brother Zhou Yu.
Sun Ce roared loudly: "Lu Xuan, I fall into your hands today. If you want to kill me or chop me into pieces, it's up to you. Gongjin, please leave me alone. If Lu Xuan kills me today, the Lu family's reputation will be good for a hundred years."
Destroyed."
Lu Xuan looked helpless and sighed: "Gong Jin, you have also seen that this is Sun Ce's attitude. He has a nature of retribution. This time I let him go, but next time, he will definitely take revenge."
"If you ask me to let him go, you are asking me to hand the knife to Sun Ce and let him assassinate me again."
"What do you think I should do?"
"You are Sun Ce's brother. I can understand that you are willing to sacrifice and stab yourself twice for the sake of your good brother. I am different. I am Sun Ce's enemy. If you ask me to stab myself twice, I can't do it."
Lu Xuan's expression became more and more relaxed.
Don't even think about running away when Zhou Yu is here. Take this opportunity today to cut off the connection between Zhou Yu and Sun Ce.
Zhou Yu's heart sank.
Lu Xuan's words were essentially negotiating conditions to get further benefits.
"Gong Jin, don't pay attention to Lu Xuan's threats. I, Sun Ce, am destined to live or die. I'm not afraid of him killing me."
Sun Ce continued to shout.
He looked unruly, as if he was not afraid of death.
"you shut up!"
Zhou Yu scolded him sternly and was very angry.
Sun Ce was his sworn brother, and Zhou Yu could not care about Sun Ce's life or death.
Zhou Yu looked at Lu Xuan and said solemnly: "Master Lu, Sun Ce is my brother. He has made a mistake, and I am willing to compensate him. The Zhou family has provided 10,000 acres of fertile land, 500,000 catties of grain, and one million yuan.
As compensation for this time, Mr. Lu, please be accommodating."
"Gongjin, no."
Sun Ce's voice came again.
He gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Gong Jin, when have we two brothers ever humbled themselves? If Lu Xuan wants to kill him, he will kill him. I am not afraid of him."
Zhou Yu ignored Sun Ce, raised his hands and said, "I beg you, Mr. Lu, to be more liberal."
Lu Xuan shook his head and said: "Does Gong Jin think that my life, Lu Xuan, is only worth 10,000 acres of fertile land, one million yuan, and five hundred thousand catties of grain? You also attended the cultural gathering at Daguan Tower, and you know that it was for Mr. Qiao to choose his son-in-law.
.”
"I am about to marry Da Qiao. As the son-in-law of the Qiao family, I will inherit the Qiao family's family business in the future. That's more than that, right? In addition, I am my father's eldest son and the heir of the Lu family. Is this worth it?"
"You look down on me so much."
Lu Xuan decisively refused. In a word, the conditions were not enough.
Zhou Yu frowned.
Lu Xuan is very difficult to deal with, and what Lu Xuan said makes sense.
The heirs of the Lu family and Qiao family are naturally valuable.
Zhou Yu thought for a moment and asked, "What can Mr. Lu do before he is willing to let Sun Ce go?"
Lu Xuan chuckled and said: "My conditions are not difficult. You and Sun Ce will cut off their ties and break off our friendship from now on. In addition, you will serve me for another three years. When the three years are over, I have no objection to whether you go or stay."
I don't care about your Zhou family's money. The Zhou family is rich, and my Lu family is not short of money either."
Zhou Yu's expression froze.
He was a little surprised.
What Lu Xuan meant was that he understood that it was necessary to cut off the connection between him and Sun Ce, but also to make him serve.
How to do it?
Zhou Yu turned back and glanced at Sun Ce. In order to save Sun Ce, he must break off relations with Sun Ce.
If he doesn't agree, Sun Ce will die.
Sun Ce looked anxious, panicked in his heart, and said loudly: "Gong Jin, don't listen to Lu Xuan. We cannot be threatened. I am not afraid of death. Let him, Lu Xuan, kill me."
Lu Xuan mocked: "Sun Ce, you can stand and talk without hurting your back. You said you are not threatened by me, but can Zhou Yu care whether you live or die? If you are determined not to embarrass Zhou Yu, you can choose to commit suicide."
Sun Ce's expression froze.
suicide?
He couldn't have committed suicide.
His father died and his brothers and sisters were young. He was the only breadwinner in the family. If he died, who would support the family?
Sun Ce was very embarrassed and swallowed all the words he said.
Lu Xuan continued: "Gong Jin, it's very hard to deal with a reckless man like Sun Ce, isn't it? You didn't come with Sun Ce to kill me, you must have opposed Sun Ce to deal with me. He still insisted on going his own way, so he got to this point. Such a person,
It’s not worth your trust.”
Sun Ce was even more helpless.
yes!
It was all because of his recklessness and his willful actions that led to the current results.
Zhou Yu glanced at Sun Ce and then at Lu Xuan, secretly saying that Lu Xuan was thoughtful.
He did advise Sun Ce.
However, his persuasion angered Sun Ce, and the two parties broke up unhappy.
Zhou Yu was not an indecisive person. He asked again: "Master Lu, if I agree to your conditions, will you really release Sun Ce?"
Lu Xuan said: "If I falsely promise you and then arrange for someone to kill Sun Ce and break my promise, will you stay with me? In fact, you don't have to worry."
Sun Ce was even more panicked and said loudly: "Gong Jin, don't agree to Lu Xuan."
In his heart, he felt extremely regretful.
He did not regret the action of killing Lu Xuan, but regretted the result that caused Zhou Yu to break off their relationship with him.
Zhou Yu acted decisively. After thinking clearly, he no longer hesitated. He pulled out the sword from his waist and said word by word: "Sun Ce, from today on, we will sever all ties and have nothing to do with each other. Heaven and earth are proof of this.
The moon learns from each other."
The moment he finished speaking, Zhou Yu swung his sword and cut off his sleeve.
He took a step back, stood behind Lu Xuan, cupped his hands and said, "Zhou Yu, pay your respects to Mr. Lu."
Lu Xuan nodded, with a bright smile on his face, and ordered: "Back off and let Sun Ce leave."
The soldiers blocking the road retreated one after another.
Sun Ce felt humiliated in his heart and gritted his teeth and said: "Lu Xuan, I will take revenge. I will make you kneel in front of me, and you will not beg for life but death."
Lu Xuan confidently said: "I'm waiting for you to come. This time it was Zhou Yu who saved you. Next time, I'll see who can save you."
Sun Ce glanced at Zhou Yu with complicated eyes and said loudly: "Gong Jin, wait for me, I will come to save you."
With the support of his personal guards, he limped away.
Zhou Yu looked at Sun Ce's leaving figure, sighed in his heart, and suddenly asked: "Young master Lu forces me to serve, aren't you worried that I will go back on my word and fail to do my job?"
Lu Xuan shook his head and said, "Don't worry."
Zhou Yu said: "I don't believe it."
Lu Xuan explained: "First, you and Sun Ce are sworn sworn brothers. Even if you cut off your robes and severance, there is still some friendship. But people can change. You, Zhou Yu, are the heirs of the Zhou family and have your own career. It is impossible to be immersed in it."
In your brotherhood."
"Pure brotherhood cannot provide you with a stage for the future."
"Secondly, Sun Ce and you hit it off immediately and have the same temperament. But a good relationship does not mean that we are like-minded. Sun Ce is reckless and a martial artist. You, Zhou Yu, are a descendant of an aristocratic family, with both civil and military skills. You are destined to be on different paths."
Lu Xuan confidently said: "You will have more opportunities if you stay by my side. Because I, the Lu family, can give you these."
Zhou Yu asked again: "Master Lu is returning to the mountains today. Is he really not afraid of Sun Ce's revenge?"
Lu Xuan laughed and said confidently: "With Sun Ce's nature, he will definitely take revenge. However, I want to thank him. If it weren't for his recklessness, I would not have had any chance to recruit Gong Jin."
"He is my lucky star."
"I look forward to the next time he comes to take revenge and give me some benefits."
Lu Xuan looked confident.
Without Zhou Yu's Sun Ce, it would be easy for Lu Xuan to control him.
Zhou Yu sighed in his heart, judging from the wisdom and methods Lu Xuan has shown so far, Lu Xuan has this ability.
Hopefully, Sun Ce will not come back again.
Lu Xuan said directly: "Gong Jin, you go home first. When I go to Qiao's house, I will come back to talk to you. Although Lujiang County is good, it is far from enough. The world is changing rapidly, and Lujiang County must be strong to gain a foothold.
Troubled times.”
"Here!"
Zhou Yu answered immediately.
There was a flash of surprise in his eyes.
Lu Xuan's words just now showed a different kind of ambition.
Lu Xuan said nothing more and waved the soldiers back. He boarded the carriage and, escorted by a few soldiers, went straight to Qiao's house.
