"I wonder what Third Uncle thinks?"
Regarding Sun Quan's question, Sun Jing did not choose to answer directly.
"I came out this time for two purposes: first, of course, to investigate the cause of my brother's disappearance; second, to stop Sun Ce." Sun Jing said, "Unfortunately, I came a step too late in the end. I know very well , once the troops are sent out to fight, asking for a cessation in front of the battle line will easily disturb the morale of the troops, so since your eldest brother Sun Ce has already led his troops past Chaisang, I will not go to him again."
"So?" Sun Quan raised his eyelids.
"With Zhong Mou's intelligence, you should know exactly what I want to say, right?" Sun Jing replied directly.
"So, if you don't avenge yourself and are bullied to your head, you have no choice but to swallow your anger, right?" Sun Quan sneered and glanced at Sun Hao over there as he spoke.
"It's not that I won't let you take revenge. There are many ways to take revenge. But no matter what method you use, you can't compensate the entire Sun family!" Sun Jing changed her quiet demeanor and her tone suddenly became high-spirited, "No one is allowed to override Above the family! Including my brother, and of course me. My Sun family has been inherited for so many years, does it depend on being brave and fierce? We have been fighting on the battlefield all the year round, do we still have fewer enemies? If everyone is like your big brother, they can't move at every turn. How can the Sun family be where they are today just by using the whole family’s strength to fight?”
With that said, Sun Jing turned to the other disciples,
"Listen, the world is in chaos now, and everyone may die. If I encounter any accident in the future, please remember what I just said!"
"yes!"
Sun Jing looked at Sun Quan again,
"Zhongmou, you are smarter and more rational than your elder brother. You should understand my good intentions."
Sun Quan narrowed his eyes,
"He's my father!"
Sun Jing immediately followed,
"He is also my brother!"
"Third uncle, let me ask you one thing, if my eldest brother loses this time, what will you do?" Sun Quan suddenly asked.
"Ask him to hand over his military power and come back to Jiangdong with me to recuperate. When he stops being impulsive and can hold a big position, I will give everything back to him." Sun Jing said, meaning that he did not covet the power in the family. Of course, this is just an empty agreement. Even if he writes the contract and actually takes that position, he may renege at any time.
"What if he doesn't hand it over?" Sun Quan asked.
"If he refuses to hand over, then in order to protect the family inheritance, the Sun family will be divided into two, and Wu County, Kuaiji and other places will no longer be under his control!" Sun Jing said in a deep voice.
After saying that, Sun Jing patted Sun Quan on the shoulder,
"I don't want to be like that. If I have the chance to persuade your elder brother, of course, I hope that everything we are talking about now is all groundless worries."
······
After coming out of Sun Jing's place, Sun Quan did not choose to live with Sun Jing. On the surface, one of them was in the open and the other in the dark, which was more conducive to the execution of the plan to lure the snake out of the hole. In fact, Sun Quan still didn't trust Sun Jing. The clues given by Sun Jing may affect Sun Quan's judgment. Sun Quan must first search for them by himself, and finally compare them with others.
"You, third uncle, are so abominable!" Yu'er was still aggrieved for Sun Quan. Something happened to the backbone of the family. Instead of uniting as one, they actually wanted to split. It seems to be high-sounding and well-founded, but in Yu'er's view, it is simply greedy for life and fear of death, cold and heartless!
"I don't hate him. If this matter has nothing to do with him." Sun Quan said.
"Ah? Little brother, you won't be convinced by him, right?" Yu'er said in surprise.
"Persuasion is out of the question." Sun Quan shook his head, "Actually, he and I are the same kind of people." He said, shaking his head again, "Actually, they are not exactly the same."
"Then are you going to side with him?" Yu'er couldn't help but ask.
"To be honest, if what happened this time was not my father, but an uncle in the family, I would not agree with the whole family to avenge him. There is no need to sacrifice the entire family for one person." Sun Quan replied, " But I am different from him. He puts family first in everything, and I am more selfish than him. Whoever dares to touch the people closest to me, I will risk everything I have to destroy him! If the family is mine, I will naturally do the same. I’ll bet the whole family on it!”
Sun Quan's eyes were fierce, he had been depressed for too many days. Before arriving here, he was anxious, but since he arrived near Chaisang, he was getting closer to the truth and the enemy, and Sun Quan became more and more irritable.
Yu'er on the side stuck out her tongue and secretly thought that Sun Quan was indeed her biological child. Normally, she would have wanted to jokingly ask if she was Sun Quan's closest person, but now, Yu'er couldn't ask. This little guy may smile all the time, but at certain times, he always bursts out with an intimidating aura.
At this time, Le stepped forward and
"Master Sun, someone just gave me this."
With that said, he gave a note to Sun Quan.
Sun Quan frowned slightly, opened it, and asked,
"Who gave it to me?"
"He's just an ordinary person, and he was entrusted by others." Lejiu replied.
Sun Quan opened the note and saw it said: "There is something strange in Peng Lize, you might as well go and have a look."
After Sun Quan read it, he checked the note carefully and found that there was no other abnormality, so he handed the note directly to Yu'er who had been peeking next to him.
"Didn't he say who gave it to him?" Sun Quan asked Le again.
Happy and shakes his head,
"No, I don't know that person either. I sent someone to follow him quietly, and found that he was indeed just an ordinary person."
"Do you think they are enemies or friends?" Sun Quan asked.
"No villain dares to make judgments."
Le knew his duty very well. He was here to help, and by the way, he also monitored Sun Quan's actions. He did not dare to take responsibility easily for any other decisions and judgments.
Just because you dare not say it doesn’t mean that others don’t dare to say it. Yu’er immediately said,
"Enemy! The other party knows that we are confused now, so they want to lure us to Penglize, and they may wait to ambush us there. If they are really friends, why don't they reveal their identity? If the information is true, we won't even have time to thank him. Woolen cloth!"
In the end, Sun Quan shook his head,
"First of all, whether we are friends or enemies has no direct relationship with whether the information is true or false. Even if we are enemies, the information given by the other party may be true. Secondly, even without this note, I will definitely go to Peng Lize. It just takes time. Sooner or later, if the other party really wants to plot against me, there is no need to alert the enemy."
"Since we have to go sooner or later, what's the use of giving us this note?" Yu'er couldn't help but ask.
Sun Quan's eyes flashed,
"The other party obviously wants me to go to Penglize first. Either he wants to lure me to Penglize in case I go to investigate other places first; or, the situation there in Penglize is time-sensitive, and it will be gone if I go there too late."
······
At the same time, in a dark alley,
"What do you mean?" A man in black stopped a young man. If the person who had just delivered the letter was here, he would know that this young man was the one who handed him the note.
Facing the questioning of the man in black, the young man seemed unhurried, with a faint smile always on his handsome face.
"Since it was more or less the same period back then, I gave him some guidance."
The man in black snorted coldly,
"Guo Jia! Just because my lord trusts you, doesn't mean that I trust you too! You may have other reasons for switching from Yuan Shao's subordinates to us!"
