On the official road to Shouchun,
Sun Quan and his entourage stretched out with more than a dozen carriages, and the scene was so grand. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was already luxurious, not to mention that Sun Quan was from a big family. In the past, when the Sun family was dominated by one side, they might have pretended to be low-key and disdained to show off, but now that the Sun family has been defeated, they have to hold up their cards in front of the world, as if they are still standing. There is no way, this is considered a traditional bad habit. Although Sun Quan himself doesn't care, his family is unwilling to embarrass him, not to mention that Sun Quan is marrying Yuan Shu's daughter this time!
Yuan Shu is now one of the top princes in the world. When Sun Quan marries Yuan Shu's daughter, it is natural that he will be his official wife. Even Mrs. Wu will treat her politely when she sees her. It is no exaggeration to say that it is no different from marrying a princess. If the wife you marry is of high enough status, the betrothal gift will naturally be sufficient. Therefore, these dozen or so carriages, at least ten of them, are filled with gold, silver, jewelry, silks and satins, which makes Sun Quan feel very uncomfortable. Although Sun Quan was not rich and had no idea about these external things, how could he build a small army with so much money to recruit troops?
What a pity, what a pity. If it were given to Yuan Shu, wouldn't it be squandered by him?
Of course, being squandered by Yuan Shu would be squandering. If Yuan Shu really used these properties to train troops and collect food, then Sun Quan should really be worried.
On a carriage in the middle of the procession,
"Little brother, do you really want to marry that Miss Yuan family?" Yu'er lay lazily on the soft cushion, holding open the curtain with one hand, looking at the scenery outside the window, while chatting with Sun Quan in a boring way.
"No matter what happened to the previous generation, if you are a matchmaker, you should naturally get married, otherwise it would be too unfair to Miss Yuan." Sun Quan replied matter-of-factly. He had probably been assimilated by this era. Sun Quan was not interested in marrying a wife. , not much rejection. In addition, Miss Yuan Yuan is well-educated and a real lady. Perhaps Sun Quan does not have deep feelings for her, but as long as he does not reject her, Sun Quan will not easily cancel the marriage. Otherwise, Sun Quan is nothing as a man. In this era, if the woman's engagement is annulled, how can she have the dignity to stand in the world?
"Oh, I didn't see it, little brother, you are quite sympathetic!" Yu'er turned around and looked out the window at Sun Quan, "Then if one day, you and your elder brother fall out with Yuan Shu, Aren’t you afraid that the person next to you will secretly harm you?”
"Isn't it too early to worry about this kind of thing now?" Sun Quan replied.
"If we continue to break up, we will suffer chaos. I'm afraid that when the time comes, little brother, you won't be able to do anything." Yu'er reminded Sun Quan.
Sun Quan shook his head indifferently,
"I'm quite accurate in judging people. Besides, if there were really so many dangers, there wouldn't be so many marriages in the world."
"Humph, I'm too lazy to care about you!"
Yu'er curled her lips, tilted her head, and looked out the window again in boredom.
"Shuchun doesn't seem to be far away, right? How long do we have to go?" Yu'er sighed.
"How can you go so fast after pulling so many things?" Sun Quan said lightly. In fact, he was a little bored sitting there, but the Taoist mentality made people endure loneliness.
Yu'er's bored eyes moved and she suddenly said,
"Tell me, since you bought so much gold, silver and jewelry this time, will there be some unsighted people coming to snatch it away?"
Sun Quan rolled his eyes angrily,
"You said you are short-sighted. Besides, Liyang is so close to Shouchun. There are no mountains and no water along the official road. Where can the thieves come from?"
Yu'er tilted her head, pretending to be curious,
"Then why do I seem to see someone ambushing me on both sides?"
"Are you kidding me!" Sun Quan replied subconsciously, his face suddenly changed, and he quickly moved his head close to Yu'er, looking out the inconspicuous window.
Is there really an ambush? !
Sun Quan narrowed his eyes. He and Yu'er were both top masters, and the sharpness of their eyes was far from ordinary. Although the enemies could not be seen in the jungle on both sides, they could faintly detect the flash of arrows.
This place is at the junction of Liyang and Shouchun. There are no mountains and no water. There is no possibility of large-scale bandits. As for enemies, geographically speaking, the only one that may appear is Guangling Zuorong in the northeast, but Zuorong Rong wanted to cooperate with Liu Yao to prevent Liyang's army from crossing the river, so how could he bother to come here and cause trouble? If the army goes deep alone, whether it is discovered by Shouchun or Liyang, it will inevitably go away and never return.
Moreover, the biggest problem is time!
After Sun Quan received the news from Yuan Shu, he quickly set off from Liyang with little preparation. Although their journey is very slow, the enemy cannot send people over in a short time to ambush here in advance.
Therefore, either, the target of this group of people's ambush is not Sun Quan, but for other people or other things; or, these are really impromptu bandits. There are no big bandits in this area, but in troubled times, even if It's a poor rural village, so we don't rule out the possibility of villagers coming out in groups to rob.
However, if they were really ordinary villagers, would they be so patient? How can he ambush so well?
Sun Quan's brows wrinkled slightly. Of course, he was confident that with his and Yu'er's martial arts, at least the two of them would be fine, but out of caution, Sun Quan still used the "Let me think twice" skill for the first time today.
One second later,
When Sun Quan came out of the illusion, the wrinkles between his brows became tighter.
Sun Quan didn't expect that the people ambushing here were really coming for him! Moreover, it was for his people, not his property. Looking at the methods of this group of people, they are well coordinated and well-trained. They are definitely not ordinary people. In the Sansi fantasy just now, Sun Quan was unable to pry out any useful information from these people.
Who is it that wants Sun Quan's life? !
Sun Quan's face was extremely gloomy. When he came back this time, he didn't seem to have a mortal enemy with anyone yet, right? Even Cihang Jingzhai is not ready to kill him yet, right? Moreover, Cihang Jingzhai would not use such military-like methods to kill people.
"Sister Yu'er, do you have a way to interrogate people?" Sun Quan asked with a stern face.
Yu'er glanced at Sun Quan in surprise,
"Is this really coming for you?"
"In a place like this, at this time of year, there is basically no other possibility." Sun Quan replied.
Hearing this, Yu'er's face began to turn a little gloomy. Someone actually wants to harm the person she likes? It was a coincidence that she chose to go with Sun Quan this time. If Sun Quan came alone, wouldn't he face danger alone? !
"Don't worry, as long as there is someone alive, I guarantee that he will tell you everything he wants to say and doesn't want to say!" Yu'er said in a cold tone.
"Okay." Sun Quan nodded, "You are on the left and I am on the right, rushing into the forest so that the advantage of their bows and arrows cannot be used." Sun Quan said immediately.
Yu'er was stunned and couldn't help but look back.
"Aren't we together?"
Sun Quan shook his head,
"If we work together, the enemy on the other side will definitely shoot the team. Once all our people are dead, who will pull so many carriages?"
"Little brother, you are so benevolent as a woman. At this time, your own life is the most important, why do you care about the life and death of others?" Yu'er reminded Sun Quan.
Sun Quan smiled softly and replied,
"When my life is really in danger, I can run faster than anyone else. But now, it's obviously not that time yet. It's okay if you don't save ordinary passers-by, but why don't you save your own people?"
