"Back off! Everyone, back off!" Liu Yao shouted quickly.
All the personal guards followed the order and slowly retreated. Soon, a large space was cleared around Sun Quan and Liu Yao. However, although the people were far away, the goals of Sun Quan and the two of them became more obvious.
"And over there."
Sun Quan suddenly turned around and looked at Taishi Ci who was holding a long bow in the corner behind him.
"Brother Taishi Ci, if you don't aim your arrow at all, what if you accidentally hurt the governor?"
Sun Quan had already figured out Tai Shici's identity during his second illusion. I said it deliberately at this time, obviously with ulterior motives.
"Taishici?!"
Liu Yao turned around and looked at Tai Shici over there, with shock and anger on his face.
This assassin actually knew Tai Shi Ci? Liu Yao felt suspicious at first. Why didn't this assassin fall into the trap? Why did this assassin know his true whereabouts? Why was this assassin able to bypass all the defenses and easily approach him? Liu Yao wouldn't believe it if there was no mole here! It's just that there were so many personal guards that Liu Yao didn't know who to suspect for a while.
But Liu Yao never expected that this person would be Tai Shici! Of course, Liu Yao also knows that the current Taishi Ci is only suspected, and even his suspicion may not be serious. But no matter what, Liu Yao already had a grudge in his heart.
"Who are you?"
Taishi Ci put down his bow and arrow, with the same shock on his face as Liu Yao.
"Have you forgotten who I am? Who made an appointment with me to come to Jiangdong?" Sun Quan said with a smile.
"You, Sun Quan?!" Tai Shici was dumbfounded. His first reaction was that he couldn't believe it. But after taking a closer look, he saw that those familiar facial features were the second son of the Sun family in his impression. "Is it really Sun Quan?!"
The more certain the truth became, the less Taishi Ci could believe it. In his eyes, Sun Quan back then was a wise general who sat in the army, scolded Fang Qiu, and had no plans left. When could he do such a dangerous thing alone? It’s only been a few years since we last met. Will people have changed so much?
When Liu Yao saw Tai Shi Ci's reaction, he calmed down somewhat and basically eliminated his misunderstanding of Tai Shi Ci. However, although the misunderstanding is gone, the grudge in my heart is deeper. Liu Yao knew that Taishi Ci was the most loyal and committed person, and he had a very strong aura of a knight-errant. Precisely because of this, since Taishi Ci came to Jiangdong for Sun Quan, is he going to follow Sun Quan now?
Although the assassin was Sun Quan, this fact made Liu Yao find it unimaginable. But no matter what, he finally knew the other party's motives.
"Master Sun, there may be some misunderstandings here. Can you please tell me in detail?" Liu Yao pondered the wording and said.
"Misunderstanding?" Sun Quan raised his eyebrows, "Mr. Liu and my Sun family have been friends for generations, and he has always taken good care of my mother and younger siblings. Is this a misunderstanding?"
Liu Yao's face stiffened, he smiled awkwardly, and responded quickly,
"It's not a misunderstanding, it's not a misunderstanding."
I just thought of the words to say, but for a moment I didn’t know where to start.
Seeing this,
Sun Quan smiled and said,
"Master Governor, don't worry. I know that it is not good for everyone to push you to a desperate situation. I came with good intentions, and naturally I don't want to hurt you. As long as you accompany me all the way out of the city gate, I will How about letting you go?"
Liu Yao was silent for a while, knowing that he was now a prisoner, so he had no choice but to agree. To be honest, if Sun Quan wanted him to surrender, hand over Wu County, or even tie him to Yuan Shu, then Liu Yao would have to fight even if he had to risk it. No matter what, this world cannot be gained by thieves. !
But now Sun Quan just wants to take away his mother and younger siblings, which only leaves Liu Yao with no hostages who can threaten Sun Ce. Such actions have not yet touched Liu Yao's bottom line, so Liu Yao naturally cherishes his life. After all, there is no certainty whether Sun Ce will come, and even if he does come, there is no certainty whether he can win. Pengcheng and Xiapi are in close contact with each other. Who said that Liu Yao would not be able to defend him without the hostages?
"Hey, let's go." Liu Yao sighed as if he was resigned to his fate, only feeling that he had made the wrong move this time. Shouldn't he really drive Sun Bi and Wu Jing away?
All the way out of the city lord's mansion,
Soon, Zhang Ying, Fan Neng and other generals also came with their troops, but Liu Yao was restrained and there was nothing they could do. I could only watch Sun Quan pick up the Sun family and walk out of the city gate surrounded by countless soldiers.
Only then did ordinary people, including Sun Quan's younger brothers and sisters, know that the second son of the Sun family, Sun Zhongmou, who had become famous in the world a few years ago, was back!
Came outside the city,
Sun Quan asked his mother, Mrs. Wu, to take the others in a carriage and leave first, while he continued to stay where he was with Liu Yao. Sun Quan and Liu Yao found a place to sit on the ground outside the city gate. They seemed to be talking and laughing, and they didn't know what they talked about. On the city walls and in the city gates, countless soldiers and generals watched them silently.
Sun Quan sat there from night to dawn. Finally, while laughing, he took a horse and left alone.
"Lord!"
Zhang Ying and others immediately stepped forward to help Liu Yao up, their faces filled with indignation. After all, it was a huge shame to have such a thing done to them under their noses.
"Chase me!" Zhang Ying raised her arms and shouted.
"No need!" Liu Yao said with a sullen face and directly stopped Zhang Ying's behavior, "The Sun family is good at using soldiers. Mrs. Wu has been gone for so long. Who knows if they have any plans ahead and pursue rashly. What if they are hit? What to do if there is an ambush? After this incident, we and the Sun family are at loggerheads, and Sun Ce will definitely lead troops to attack."
"Fan Neng! Yu Mi!"
"My subordinate is here!"
"You must organize your troops immediately and head to Hengjiang County."
"Zhang Ying!"
"The general is here!"
"You personally lead the troops and station them there to act as a liaison."
"yes!"
"In addition, send someone to inform Xue Li and Zuo Rong that Sun Ce will not be allowed to cross the Yangtze River easily!"
······
Somewhere outside the city,
Sun Quan, who came alone, was finally reunited with his family.
"Second brother!"
"Second brother is just so awesome!"
"Second brother, you are finally back!"
"Second brother, I miss you so much, wuwuwu~~"
All the younger brothers and sisters gathered around Sun Quan excitedly. Sun Quan touched this head and then that head, feeling very happy. Among the children of the Sun family, Sun Ce is slightly older and has been leading the army with his father since he was very young. In contrast, Sun Quan, who has been studying at home, is obviously closer to his younger brothers and sisters.
When he was a child, Sun Quan often skipped classes and relied on his intelligence to act recklessly. He was called the leader of naughty children and was highly admired by his brothers and sisters. But today's Sun family has gone through several changes. The children have become sensible very early and no longer have the dandy atmosphere of the past. Therefore, compared to those unimportant memories, today's Sun Quan's feat of single-handedly saving the entire family really makes these The younger brothers and sisters admired him from the bottom of their hearts.
They knew that in their family, in addition to their eldest brother Sun Ce, who was always struggling outside, there was also a second brother, Sun Quan, who could also take charge of his own business. Of course, one day, they themselves will have to lead troops outside and shoulder important responsibilities!
