(It’s almost the end of the month, Captain, I’d like to ask for some monthly tickets)
He drew back his bow and looked back. The person cheering was none other than his fourth wife, Sun Shangxiang.
Yan Liang glanced at him, and Zhou Cang backed away.
"When did Madam come?" Yan Liang threw the bow to the guard, walked up with a smile, and hugged Sun Shangxiang's waist.
Being treated so intimately by Yan Liang in front of others, Sun Shangxiang lowered his eyebrows and smiled, feeling a little ashamed.
"I didn't dare to disturb my husband's archery practice, but just now I heard my husband seem to mention my sister-in-law, Mrs. Qiao, and my nephew, Sun Shao, and I got curious, so I just came in."
Yan Liang held Sun Shangxiang in his arms and walked in the courtyard. He said calmly: "It's nothing. It's just that there are rumors in Jiangdong that your second brother is coveting the beauty of your sister-in-law Da Qiao. I will find it very interesting to hear this. So I sent people
Go and ask around."
When Sun Shangxiang heard this, his expression changed and he said anxiously: "This rumor is really nonsense. My second brother is very respectful to his sister-in-law. How could he have such a beastly heart?"
The second child coveted the elder's widow. Such an affair was a disgrace to the Sun family's reputation. Sun Shangxiang naturally became anxious when he heard about it.
"Madam, although the rumors may be exaggerated, but if you think about it carefully, are these rumors all groundless?" Yan Liang's words were profound.
At that time, Sun Ce valued Sun Quan, his second brother, and wanted to train him carefully, so he often made him live in the mansion. He could teach him at all times, and his food and daily life were all taken care of by Da Qiao.
Later, there were rumors that Sun Quan, an ignorant young man, gradually developed a secret admiration for his beautiful and fragrant sister-in-law. Sun Ce later noticed this and no longer allowed Sun Quan to stay in the mansion.
Of course, these things are just rumors, and no one would believe them to be true. Yan Liang had only heard Pang Tong mention this matter, and now that Sun Shangxiang, a member of the Sun family, was here, he just wanted to give it a try.
Unexpectedly, Yan Liang's rhetorical question put Sun Shangxiang into a trance.
She has been pampered since she was a child, and relying on her family's favor, she often goes in and out of other people's homes casually without informing her, and sometimes she encounters embarrassing secrets.
At that time, she was a young girl who was ignorant and didn't take it to heart, but now that she is a woman, when she thinks about it carefully, she can't help but think of some clues.
She vaguely remembered that one day back then, she went to Da Qiao's house, but she bumped into her second brother, who was also reaching out to pull at Da Qiao, but Da Qiao pushed him away. Later, when Sun Quan saw her coming,
He said he came to visit Da Qiao's mother and son, and then left in a hurry.
Sun Shangxiang didn't pay attention to it at that time, but now that he thinks about it carefully, Sun Quan's behavior on that day was indeed overly polite to Da Qiao.
"Could it be said that the second brother really treats his sister-in-law..."
Sun Shangxiang's face gradually became serious, and he gritted his teeth secretly, as if there was a hint of hatred.
She realized that most of the rumors were true, and when she thought that her second brother, whom she had always admired, would do such a beastly thing, she couldn't help but secretly resent Sun Quan.
Yan Liang, who was observing Sun Shangxiang's expression all the time, couldn't help but feel strange in his heart when he saw his wife's expression changing like this.
He was just casually testing it out and didn't have much hope for the authenticity of the rumor. But now seeing Sun Shangxiang's expression, he was surprised to realize that the rumor was probably true.
"I just stole the enemy's wife and daughter. I didn't expect that Biyaner to have evil intentions towards his sister-in-law. Sun Quan, I have you..."
Thinking of this, Yan Liang couldn't help but feel contempt on his face and burst into laughter.
"I heard that Wu Youshuangqiao is a beautiful country. Your second brother is guarding a slanderous widowed sister-in-law all day long. It's normal to drool a little. Madam, don't make a fuss, haha——"
Yan Liang's laughter and words were full of sarcasm, and he walked away laughing.
Sun Shangxiang froze there alone, thinking of Sun Quan's heroic and benevolent demeanor in the past, and he couldn't help feeling a little disgusted in his heart.
…
Thousands of miles away, Moling.
The wind was howling, and there were heavy cold shadows. In the empty hall, Sun Quan was dancing with his sword.
Every time the sword struck, he used all his strength, as if what he was stabbing was not the air, but the enemy gnashing his teeth.
While swinging the sword, he was still mumbling something, not knowing what he was mumbling.
"Don't obey my orders, don't obey my orders, I told you not to obey my orders -"
In my mind, the scene of Da Qiao yelling and walking away still lingers to this day.
That stubborn and disobedient woman humiliated his self-esteem, so he had to use a sword dance to vent his anger.
"Sun Quan, Sun Quan, you have to be patient. Now is not the time for you to do whatever you want. You must be patient."
Another voice of reason kept warning him.
Gradually, Sun Quan's anger was exhausted, and when he was panting from exhaustion, he finally stopped his crazy sword dancing.
Chen Wu and other soldiers standing around also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After finishing the sword dance, Sun Quan had just sat down and before he had time to take a sip of tea to quench his thirst, the soldiers outside the door came to report that it was Lu Su who came from Wankou to see him.
As soon as he heard about Wankou, Sun Quan almost instinctively thought of Zhou Yu, those rumors, and the escape of Da Qiao's mother and son.
He immediately realized that Lu Su's arrival must be closely related to these things.
"Quick announcement." Sun Quan waved his hand and shouted.
Sun Quan suppressed his breathing, sat upright, and put on a solemn look.
Not long after, Lu Su entered the hall. After the ceremony, the principal and ministers greeted each other politely.
"Why did Zijing come to Moling when he is not in Wankou to assist Gong Jin?" Sun Quan asked.
"Su returned to Wu this time just as Gong Jin entrusted him to present some things to the lord."
Lu Su said, and ordered his followers to present the pile of letters.
Sun Quan looked confused, and Lu Su explained: "These letters are personal letters from Yan Liang to Gong Jin. Gong Jin thought that as the governor, his private affairs were public, so he did not dare to keep these letters privately, so he asked
Come here and present it to the lord."
Sun Quan understood now that Zhou Yu was taking the initiative to clear up doubts and show his loyalty to him.
The suspicion in Sun Quan's heart could not help but subside a bit because of Zhou Yu's proactive performance.
He just took apart those silk books and flipped through them casually.
"Gong Jin said that some of the rumors in Jiangdong in recent days are mostly caused by Yan Liang's plan to alienate people. Gong Jin said that the lord is wise and powerful and will not be deceived by Yan Liang's tricks. However, in order to show his loyalty, Gong Jin still
I want to dedicate this letter to my lord, Gong Jin..."
Sun Quan looked through the letter, while Lu Su expressed his loyalty to Zhou Yu below.
As he flipped through the pages, Sun Quan's expression suddenly changed, as if he saw some suspicious clues in the letter.
Sun Quan's expression immediately became solemn, he put several turned letters together, and glanced through them with his eyes.
Lu Su seemed to feel something was wrong and couldn't help but stop.
"Zijing, come here." Sun Quan waved to him.
Lu Su came forward with uneasiness. Sun Quan pointed to the several silk letters in front of him and said coldly: "Zijing, please tell me why several places on this letter have been daubed."
Lu Su was startled and looked down, only to see that there were indeed traces of smearing on the letters.
"Well, after all, Yan Liang is a vulgar martial artist who doesn't know how to write. Maybe he made a mistake when writing and just scribbled it out."
"Just scribbling, hum!" Sun Quan snorted and pointed, "Even if the person named Yan just scrawled, why are there similarities in every smear?"
Zhou Yu also showed many of these letters to the generals in Wankou. Lu Su had read them before and did not pay attention to the alterations. Today, he reminded Sun Quan that he began to read them carefully.
After observing carefully for a while, Lu Su's expression moved slightly, and he obviously saw something unusual.
It turns out that the alterations in the letters all involve a person's name. Although they have all been erased, from the analysis of the side branches, it is not difficult to see that the first character of this person's name is Sun and the last character is Shao.
When they gathered together, it was Sun Shao.
"Sun Shao!" Lu Su exclaimed.
How could Lu Su not know how sensitive Sun Shao's name was when such rumors were flying everywhere?
What's more, this name still appears in Yan Liang's letter to Zhou Yu, and it has been erased.
"Zijing, did Gong Jin show these letters to you in person as soon as he received them, or did he show them to you after reading them himself?" Sun Quan asked in a deep voice.
"These letters from Yan Liang are often delivered at night, when the generals have dispersed, and the governor usually only shows them to us the next day."
Hearing this, Sun Quan was silent for a moment, "This means that you are not sure whether the content of this letter was painted by Yan Liang or Gong Jin, yes or no."
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Lu Su's mind, and an unprecedented fear filled his heart.
"Could it be that Gong Jin really has his heart..."
Lu Su didn't dare to think about it anymore, but his expression betrayed him. Everyone could see that this person who claimed to be Zhou Yu's best friend now had deep suspicions about Zhou Yu.
Sun Quan's face was also extremely gloomy, full of hatred.
If he was just doubtful before, then Zhou Yu acted smartly and presented these letters, but instead he shot himself in the foot and made Sun Quan even more convinced.
Zhou Yu must rebel!
There was silence in the lobby.
"Zijing, how do I, Sun Quan, treat you?" Sun Quan suddenly asked.
Lu Su was stunned for a moment and said hurriedly: "My lord's kindness to Su is as heavy as a mountain."
After a pause, Sun Quan asked slowly: "Then if Zhou Gongjin plans to support his troops and stand on his own, will you stand on my side or on his side?"
Sun Quan is asking Lu Su to take sides.
The shocked Lu Su suddenly fell into a dilemma.
One is his best friend and the other is his lord. You must choose one of the two.
"Lu is naturally loyal to his lord. If Gong Jin really has the intention to rebel, Su Bi will be the first to stand up and oppose him."
Despite some weighing in his mind, in Sun Quan's view, Lu Su showed his loyalty without hesitation.
Sun Quan was very satisfied. He stood up and caressed Lu Su's shoulder, and said happily: "Zijing, I really did not misjudge you. You did not disappoint me."
Lu Su secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but his back was already wet.
At this moment, facing Sun Quan's praise, Lu Su felt a hint of guilt towards Zhou Yu in his heart. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
