As soon as Sun Quan returned to his home, Jia Hua came to report that Tai Shixiang suddenly hurried out of the city with more than a dozen followers.
Sun Quan frowned and said, "Zi Yi is critically ill. If he doesn't take care of him in the morning and evening in the house, where did he go out of the city?"
Jia Hua replied: "I grabbed the medicine this morning, ran to the governor's house, and then went straight out of the city."
Sun Quan's expression changed slightly: "What did Gong Jin say to him?"
Jia Hua shook his head and wondered. Although he was responsible for monitoring public security, he did not dare to act rashly against Zhou Yu. He paused and said, "Recently, there has been a lot of discussion in the city about Taishi Ci's injury. There are rumors that if Hua Tuo can be invited, the disease may be cured." Except, maybe we got the news?"
Sun Quan sneered and said, "Hua Tuo has returned to the Central Plains a long time ago and his whereabouts are uncertain. If I can invite this person, why should I bother so much?"
After Taishi Ci was injured and retired from Jianye, Sun Quan invited famous doctors from Jianye and nearby areas to diagnose and treat him, but there was no effect. On the contrary, the more medicine he used, the more serious the injury became.
Jia Hua sighed: "Listen to what Ji Miao said, if he is not treated in time, I am afraid that General Taishi will only live for half a month at most."
Sun Quan said: "Everyone is destined to have misfortune and fortune, life and death are determined by God, how can manpower change it? Ziyi sacrificed his life for the country, I will treat Taishi Xiang kindly, no matter where he goes to seek medical treatment, I will send people to protect him." "
Jia Hua understood it in his heart, cupped his fists and said, "We have sent people to protect us secretly when we leave the city."
Sun Quan nodded slightly and added: "Ganlu Temple must also take more precautions. The old lady's condition has worsened recently, and no one should disturb her."
Jia Hua took the order and left, while Sun Quan turned to the other courtyard to the west and walked past the corridor and pond. The place was surrounded by flowers, green bamboos and birdsong, as if it was isolated from the outside world.
A young man of fifteen or sixteen years old was feeding the fish. It was Sun Lang, the fifth son. When he saw Sun Quan coming in, he stood up and saluted: "Second brother!"
Sun Quan touched his head and asked with a smile: "Where is mother?"
Sun Lang pointed to the flower garden: "Watering the flowers."
Sun Quan also fed a handful of fish food and walked to the garden. Living here was Sun Jian's second wife, Wu Guotai's sister, and the concubine Sun Lang.
She is both the aunt and the wife of Sun Quan and others. The brothers regard her as their biological mother and call them mother, regardless of each other.
Mrs. Wu had a quiet temperament and never cared about political affairs. She only enjoyed raising flowers and grass. She was usually only accompanied by Sun Lang and did not interact with outsiders. Sun Quan only came to greet her occasionally.
If the brothers are worried or sad, they all like to come here to relax. Mrs. Wu is like an outsider, who can always comfort them and make people relax.
Among the neat orchid bushes, Mrs. Wu, with fair hair and a childish face, was in good spirits. She was watering these precious flowers herself with a gourd and gourd. She never trusted her servants to take care of these precious flowers.
Sun Quan did not dare to break in rashly. He greeted her across the flower garden. Mrs. Wu smiled and said, "Are you ready for Shang Xiang's marriage?"
"Everything is ready!" Sun Quan replied: "In addition... Duke Qiao has betrothed Da Qiao to Zhao Yun, a general of Liu Qi's tribe, and she will marry him to Jingzhou today."
"Oh?" Mrs. Wu paused slightly, took another scoop of water, and said with emotion: "It doesn't matter if you get married or go far away, out of sight is pure. It's been eight years since Bo Fu died, so my sister should let go of her worries. Don’t worry about him anymore.”
Sun Quan said: "I'm afraid that when I get to Jingzhou, some people will make trouble, which will be detrimental to my eldest brother's reputation."
"A married daughter is a splash of water!" Mrs. Wu poured the water down and said calmly: "The day when Da Qiao returns to peace, it will have nothing to do with the Sun family. Your sister-in-law is in charge of Bo Fu's house, so why bother about the concubine? Keep?"
Sun Quan suddenly understood, clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, mother, for your guidance. My child understands."
Mrs. Wu pointed to the room: "It's rare that the Governor will stay here for a long time. I made some pineapple cakes. You can take them back and give them to him to try. We will rely on Gong Jin to save Jiangdong this time."
Sun Quan smiled and said: "This is the only one where my mother makes pineapple cakes. I must have missed Gong Jin for a long time."
…
When Liu Qi came back from Ganlu Temple, everyone was dumbfounded. They thought they were discussing their own marriage, but unexpectedly they were promising Da Qiao to Zhao Yun.
It's not because he missed Da Qiao. It was a pity to miss the beauty, but Liu Qi was also happy to see Zhao Yun make a new home.
The beauty of a gentleman and an adult, Da Qiao paired with Zhao Yun, and a beautiful woman paired with a hero, just right!
What puzzled Liu Qi was the attitude of Sun Quan's mother and son. According to Da Qiao, she had been imprisoned in solitary confinement for eight years. Why did she suddenly agree to remarry after meeting him once?
After thinking about it along the way, I always felt that my meeting with Da Qiao had been noticed by Sun Quan. It would be abnormal if Da Qiao was suspected and did not send someone to spy on him secretly.
But what puzzles Liu Qi is that Da Qiao suspects that Sun Ce died in a conspiracy. Since Sun Quan has taken the throne, he should keep it strictly confidential and find a way to get rid of her. Now that he is sending her out, isn't he afraid that this matter will be exposed to the world?
Is there any conspiracy in this, or did Da Qiao's last words make Sun Quan afraid?
But no matter what, it was the best of both worlds to be able to free Da Qiao, start a family for Zhao Yun, and change their fate. Regardless of the cause of Sun Ce's death, she was just an outsider.
Liu Qi made up his mind to take the people back to Jingzhou first, so as to settle a worry and not suffer any loss. As for the mess in Jiangdong, they would deal with it themselves, which has become a mystery in history anyway.
Sun Ce's death was regrettable, but it was beyond his control. He had to lay a good foundation first, and then he would act accordingly in the future. It would be better if he died.
As the son-in-law of Jiangdong, if he can take over Sun Quan again, he will make a lot of money!
Returning to Guanyi, he discussed with Xu Shu and Xi Guan the results of creating public opinion in the past few days. He first built momentum for Hua Tuo, and then forced Sun Quan to release him and take Taishi Ci to Jingzhou.
Zhao Yun took off his armor and came in. Liu Qi smiled and said: "There is a big event today. I want to congratulate Uncle Zilong. It is not a waste of time to come to Jiangdong."
Zhao Yun asked in confusion: "Where does happiness come from?"
Liu Qi said: "Actually, I just went to Ganlu Temple because of your business. Duke Qiao is planning to betroth Da Qiao to you, and we will get engaged in Qiao Mansion three days later."
When Zhao Yun heard this, he was shocked and hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Young Master, you must not do it. That Da Qiao is grateful to you and wants to commit yourself to him. How dare you accept it?"
"That's wrong!" Liu Qi said sternly: "I agreed to help Da Qiao because I respect the hero Sun Ce and can't bear his death in vain. Da Qiao is just an outsider. It would be unjust if he didn't save him if he saw it! Since I If you marry Sun Shangxiang, how can you marry his sister-in-law again and do something unethical?"
Xu Shu laughed at the side and said: "The two Qiaos from Jiangdong have a good reputation. A general is loyal to his master, and a hero saves the beauty. It is a good thing to have a good match!"
Zhao Yun said sternly: "There are many women in the world. A real man only worries about his fame but not his reputation, so why worry about not having a wife?"
Liu Qi frowned and said, "Sun Ce and Da Qiao are actually just a romantic couple. They are probably in name only. Does Zilong dislike their status?"
Zhao Yun clasped his fists and said, "Young Master's kindness, Yun is very grateful! But I saw that Young Master was unhappy along the way, so he must be worried about this matter. Since Yun assisted Young Master to revive the Han Dynasty and achieve a great cause, An dared to seize it with just one woman." Lord’s love?”
"Where do you start talking about this?" Liu Qi looked upright and said displeased: "Am I that lustful and selfish person?"
