In the dark forest, the messenger met a man in black.
"Seeing that you returned safely, I believe you have succeeded. How did it go?" the man in black asked, "How did Sun Quan react?"
"Sun Quan seems quite happy. He must have heard about Er Qiao's reputation for a long time. Not only that, he even sent people back to promote the next marriage arranged for him by his family." The messenger laughed.
The man in black's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"Hahaha, this is really good news. It seems that the young hero can't pass the beauty test!"
As he spoke, the man in black took out a letter from his arms, handed it to the sender, and said,
"This is the reply we prepared by imitating Sun Quan's handwriting and sent it to Sun Ce. When we get there, you should know what to say, right?"
The messenger nodded. Since they intercepted Sun Ce's letter from the west to Sun Quan, they naturally thought about everything next. Sun Ce's letter was based on the premise of respecting Sun Quan's personal wishes and asked Sun Quan if he wanted to marry Da Qiao. However, after being slightly changed by this group of people, the message conveyed to Sun Quan was that Sun Ce had directly arranged the marriage for Sun Quan.
Although Sun Quan did not feel rebellious because of this, he misunderstood Sun Ce's meaning, so he accepted Sun Ce's kindness unceremoniously. But since those who are interested are now caught in the middle, they will naturally not convey Sun Quan's original intention back to Sun Ce. For the purpose of alienating the Sun brothers, it goes without saying that the content of the letter sent back to Sun Ce would be that Sun Quan refused to marry Da Qiao, and said that Sun Ce and Da Qiao were a match made in heaven.
It can be said that this is a modified version of the honey trap. Different from the original honey trap, Da Qiao, the person involved here, is completely unaware and is being used. Although the two brothers Sun Ce and Sun Quan did not seem to have any involvement or affection with Da Qiao, and neither brother was greedy for beauty, because they became famous at a young age and were heroes, the Sun brothers paid great attention to dignity and face. Although a woman will not make two brothers directly turn against each other, she can completely separate them!
only,
"Is there no problem?" the messenger said with some hesitation. The letter Sun Quan received was a slightly modified version of the original letter. It could be said to be half-true and half-false, making it difficult to distinguish. But this time Sun Quan's reply to Sun Ce was a complete forgery. Once discovered, not to mention that the strategy would be completely ineffective, and he, the messenger, would never be able to come out again.
"Don't worry, there are code words in the Sun family's military-related letters. Even if they are successfully intercepted, we don't dare to do anything about it. But in this kind of daily correspondence, they are not so particular and even find ghostwriters. It's possible. After all, the Sun family doesn't want their code words to be gradually exposed or even cracked because of some inconsequential daily letters." The man in black comforted him, "Besides, there are also our people over there. You There is no need to deliver it to Sun Ce personally, since there is a complete letter, there is no need for you to convey it orally, you only need to hand over the letter and you can get away."
As he spoke, the man in black patted the messenger heavily on the shoulder.
"You've already done half of it and can't get away. You should understand what the consequences will be. Of course, after success, rewards will naturally come. Isn't that what you came for in the first place!"
The messenger nodded solemnly, "...Don't worry, I will do a good job."
······
Jiangdong,
Sun Quan's newly established Yamen Selection Department has been very lively in the past few days. Of course, it is also very lively at this moment, but the atmosphere on the scene seems a bit subtle.
A group of people with decent temperaments, carrying large and small bags on their backs, were obviously preparing to leave.
Diao Chan, wearing men's clothing, stood alone, silently looking at the group of people, with a face that made everyone jealous, deeply filled with bitterness. Not far away, there was another group of people, watching with cold eyes, chatting and laughing in low voices from time to time, most of them with mocking looks on their faces.
"Are you really going to disobey the order and not leave?" An old man walked up to Diao Chan and asked again. Obviously, this was the last time he asked the same question.
Diao Chan shook her head firmly as always,
"Diao Chan didn't want to disobey the order, nor was she greedy for power. She was just loyal to others. Now that the selection department has become like this, I really have no shame in leaving. Once this place is back on track, I will leave in time. Go back to the teacher's gate and bear the thorns to apologize."
"Hey~~"
The old man sighed, glanced at the group of indifferent onlookers, and wanted to say that the current situation was probably not that easy to reverse, but he hesitated for a while, and finally said nothing. Could Diao Chan not see these problems? When people are in the arena, they can't help themselves. If you are afraid, you will be afraid. You will never be able to escape.
"You take care of yourself!"
After the old man finished speaking, he bowed his hands to Diao Chan, turned around and left with a group of people waiting. They came to Jiangdong with enthusiasm and prepared for a big fight, but they came back empty-handed. Except for a few young people who couldn't resist the temptation and stayed, Cihang Jingzhai's forces had completely withdrawn from Jiangdong. Of course, these are all forces on the surface. Those hidden lines planted in the dark are still there. Cihang Jingzhai, who is deep in the mountains, must always pay attention to the trends in the world.
After sending these colleagues away, Diao Chan ignored the others and dragged her tired figure back to the inconspicuous courtyard.
"Are you going to prepare now?" Cai Wenji came up and asked. She was very worried about Diao Chan's condition now, for fear that the heavy burden on her body would crush Diao Chan. Then Sun Quan really doesn't know how to care about women and women. Isn't it like putting such a big burden on a woman? "I remember, doesn't Cihang Jingzhai have an outer gate? The outer gate has been separated from the inner gate. Those people can always deal with worldly affairs!"
Diao Chan smiled bitterly and shook her head. She knew Cihang Jingzhai better than outsiders, so she naturally knew the difficulties of certain things.
"The reason why the outer sect was separated in the first place was because those people could not completely hide themselves from the world. It can be said that the style of the outer sect is the style of Cihang Jingzhai back then. They will not support anyone other than the Han clan clan. ." Diao Chan said.
"But who are the other clan members of the Han clan now? Liu Biao? Liu Zhang? Can these people be helped?" Cai Wenji couldn't help but ask.
Diao Chan shook her head,
"If they could be persuaded, there wouldn't be an outer door like now."
For the outer sect, they either support the Han clan clan, or, like the inner sect, they live in seclusion and are not supported by any princes. Anyway, no matter what, he will not come to Jiangdong Sun's house.
"I heard that the Demon Sect seems to have abandoned Yuan Shu and invaded the Sun family." Bu Lianshi on the side said.
Diao Chan's face darkened, why didn't she hear about this kind of thing. This is another reason why Diao Chan can't leave. By firmly occupying the election department, she can at least greatly delay the Demon Sect's penetration into Jiangdong's political arena.
"Actually, there is a force whose influence is no less than that of the Demon Sect. Why not consider it?" Trainer Bu suddenly said.
