Jianye, Sun Mansion.
Liu Bei and Sun Shangxiang's new house was hung with red lanterns and red satin. The female soldier outside the door had a sword on her waist and a sharp look in her eyes.
Liu Bei has lived here for a long time. Although he married a beautiful wife, his heart has never been in his stomach. She has always been in his throat.
The third young lady of the Sun family doesn’t know what’s wrong with her. She sleeps with a sword in her arms every day. Every maid outside the door also wears a weapon. Even bows and arrows are hung in the boudoir. It makes people feel chills on their spines and foreheads. Sweating.
Under this situation, Liu Bei was only worried that he would be torn into pieces by this little wife after falling asleep, so how could he be in the mood to do the wedding?
At this time, Sun Shangxiang's illness had recovered, and her face was gloomy every day, as if everyone owed her two hundred condoms.
When she learned from Liu Bei that the man she knew was really called Zhao Yi and married his daughter, her temper suddenly changed. She became more smiling and gentle, and she greeted Liu Bei all day long. But the latter didn't feel any warmth at all. He only felt that there was definitely a murderous knife hidden behind this young aunt's smile.
In this unspeakable torment, Liu Bei felt that he could no longer endure it. He wanted to return to Jingnan, to the territory he had finally conquered. Only there could he feel at ease, and he had to be more confident. Showing off your skills.
But the actual situation now is that Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao and others have been pulling Zhuge Liang all day long, either to study the current world situation or to exchange experiences in governing the people under their jurisdiction.
In order to entangle Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu specially asked Zhuge Liang's eldest brother Zhuge Jin to put down all the work at hand and rush over to cooperate with him and take good care of his younger brother.
Zhuge Liang naturally knew what Zhou Yu was up to. On the surface, he wanted to win over Liu Bei through marriage and jointly fight against Cao Cao. In fact, he wanted to put Uncle Liu under house arrest in Soochow and become his Sun family's son-in-law, and then secretly seize the four counties of Jingnan. He even took away all the family property from Liu Bei.
Seeing this, Zhuge Liang has already asked Zhou Yu to resign three times, but the latter has refused with various reasons. Both sides have also tested each other's bottom line again and again. Now that the bottom line has been nearly tested, they have begun to take actual actions. .
Sun Quan took the initiative to approach Guan Yu and wanted to marry him, but was rejected by the arrogant second master. Sun Zhongmou was so angry that he blew his beard and stared at Guan Yu, and even thought of chopping Guan Yunchang into meat paste with his sword and axe.
For this matter, Sun Quan even sent Chen Wu and Pan Zhang with five hundred soldiers to quietly ambush around Liu Bei's new house. They could not defeat Guan Yu, but they were confident in taking down Liu Huangshu.
In addition, Zhou Yu also sent Xu Sheng and Ding Feng to set up checkpoints at the traffic arteries around Jianye. This was to prevent Liu Bei from escaping, and also to prevent Jingzhou from sending troops to respond to him.
In such a tense situation, Zhuge Liang sent a confidant, disguised, to cross the mountains and ridges alone back to Jingnan, and then finally handed the urgent report to Zhao Yi.
"Everyone is lightly dressed and marching toward the east!"
The moment Zhao Yi received the urgent report, he summoned his men and marched towards Jiangdong at full speed. At the same time, he also rode a horse to Guiyang to deliver a message to Zhao Yun, fearing that Wuling City would change while he was away.
As for Zhang Fei, it’s better to hide it from him for now. Things haven’t reached the worst yet. If this third master is offended, the trouble will probably never end. After all, they still need to join forces with Soochow to tie up the pot. At the same time, if not, once the Sun-Liu alliance collapses, Cao Cao will undoubtedly be the happiest.
Zhao Yi asked all the soldiers to mount their war horses. They did not carry heavy armor or long-handled weapons. They only brought enough dry food for a rapid march, and then galloped away.
Jianye City, by the Yangtze River.
Sun Shangxiang wore her hair in a woman's bun and was wearing a red outfit that was quite eye-catching, while Liu Bei followed her and looked left and right, feeling very guilty.
"Third Miss, will this work? Zhou Yu won't see through us, right?"
Sun Shangxiang rolled his eyes in his heart and secretly wondered how the second brother and Gong Jin looked at people? Does such a coward deserve to be called a rare hero in the world? This Liu Xuande is really a coward!
"Don't worry, Uncle Emperor, what will happen even if he finds out? No one dares to touch you as long as I'm standing by your side. Let's take advantage of the opportunity to worship our ancestors by the river and go west by boat. As long as we return to Jingzhou You’ll be safe.”
Liu Bei wiped his sweat, and even his deputy saluted Sun Shangxiang and said, "Thank you very much. Thank you very much, Miss Third, for your help."
Sun Shangxiang looked back at Liu Bei and said: "What did the emperor say? We are husband and wife now. Husband and wife should support each other. I should save you. Why are you always so polite to me? From the first day of marriage, Am I that scary if you don’t even sleep with me?”
"this......"
Liu Bei was speechless for a moment when he was asked. He did not dare to tell the real reason why he did not want to share the same bed. He could only chuckle and said: "I also care about the people of Jingzhou, and my two little girls are newly married. As a father, I am really happy to be alone outside. I feel sorry for them and want to go back and see them as soon as possible."
When Liu Bei talked about his daughter's wedding, Sun Shangxiang felt as if someone had tugged his heart. The smile on his face instantly turned cold and he said, "Uncle Emperor, let's leave quickly. Where are Zhuge Liang and your second brother?"
"Oh, the two of them have already gone to the riverside to prepare the ferry."
Liu Bei and Sun Shangxiang led a group of female soldiers, carrying some incense burners, cakes and other items and placed them on the bank of the Yangtze River. They looked like they were worshiping their ancestors. In fact, Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu not far away had already found a ferry and were preparing to bring them to the river. My lord rescued Jingzhou.
"Uncle Liu Huang~~~Uncle Liu Huang, walk slowly~~~My lord has invited you~~~"
Liu Bei was pretending to worship his ancestors when he heard the sound of horse hooves behind him. The man shouting to him immediately was Ling Tong, the young general from Jiangdong.
Sun Shangxiang's eyes turned cold and he said: "Uncle, please leave quickly. Gongji must have come to keep you under the orders of Zhou Gongjin. You must not listen to him. Don't believe anything he says. You leave quickly and I will stop him!"
"Is this...really okay?"
Liu Bei was a little panicked, but he ran towards the river very consciously.
Sun Shangxiang led his female soldiers to meet Ling Tong's horse, forcing the latter to tighten the reins and not dare to move forward.
"Third Miss, on the order of the Governor, I have invited Uncle Liu Huang to come into the house to talk about important matters."
Sun Shangxiang raised his head and stared at Ling Tong and said: "Gongji, you have never lied since you were a child. If you have the ability, look me in the eyes and say what you just said again."
Ling Tong looked left and right, but he didn't dare to look into Sun Shangxiang's big eyes, but his mouth remained stubborn.
"Everything I say is true. Miss Third, don't block my way. And Uncle Liu Huang, what is he going to do? Aren't you here to worship your ancestors by the river? Why is there a ferry?"
"Uncle Emperor and I want to take a boat to the river to see the scenery, okay? When will it be your turn to dictate our affairs as a couple? Get out of here!"
"Take a boat ride to see the scenery? It's already the beginning of winter, what scenery is there to see? The cold wind on the river is biting, and you have just recovered from a serious illness. Don't be brave, or you may fall ill again."
When Ling Tong talked about this, Sun Shangxiang remembered the reason for his illness and Zhao Yi, the emotional liar. He was so angry that he bit his silver teeth, raised his leg and kicked the horse on the butt. He said angrily: "Gongzhi, if you still admit it?" My friend, please turn around and go back immediately, otherwise I will never pay attention to you again in this life!"
"Miss Third..."
