Dou Yuru shook her head, and without revealing much to Pan Zhang, she just said,
"As a son of a human being, if Sun Ce faked his death and Mrs. Wu never heard about it, then in order to prevent his mother from being sad, it is entirely possible that Sun Ce would secretly come to see his mother in private. But now, Mrs. Wu already knows about this. , apart from being sad, he will soon accept this blow, so Sun Ce probably doesn’t need to take the risk of being exposed and deliberately come here.”
"Then why did Sun Ce fake his death?" Pan Zhang couldn't help but ask.
"Who knows for sure, maybe it's to make the enemy take it lightly." Dou Yuru said nonchalantly. She didn't care about the reason, only the conclusion. "If Sun Ce really cheated his death, then I don't mind letting him die for real! In short, , Mrs. Wu, keep a close eye on me!"
Pan Zhang's heart trembled,
"yes!"
I don’t know whether it’s because women’s hearts are in turmoil, or because the people in the Demon Sect are inherently changeable. Apparently, the Demon Sect had just established cooperation with Sun Ce some time ago, but now, upon hearing the news of Sun Ce’s death, the first one to stand on his own is Li Shu of Lujiang, the one who clamored for Sun Ce's real death, was also the Lord of the Demon Sect.
It is said that wealth can be found in danger. It is understandable that Pan Zhang joined the Demon Sect in order to seek wealth and honor. But now that he had gained wealth and it was a critical period for his career to rise, Pan Zhang actually wanted to cut ties with the Demon Sect.
But no matter whether Pan Zhang wants to leave the Demon Sect or not, at least for now, he and Dou Yuru are still on the same front, that is, if Sun Ce is not dead, Pan Zhang also hopes that Sun Ce can die! After all, Pan Zhang was Sun Quan's confidant. How could Sun Quan ascend to power if Sun Ce didn't die? If Sun Quan could not ascend to power, how could Pan Zhang rise?
••••••
above the Yangtze River,
A fleet of boats, covered with plain white decorations, was moving slowly down the river. When the ships along the way saw it, they quickly pulled over and kept silent.
In the center of the fleet, on the most magnificent ship, it is said that the coffin of Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, is being stored in it.
On the ship, there was a secret room where Sun Ce's coffin was placed. These days, Zhou Yu never left the room and personally guarded it.
Zhou Yu stood quietly next to Sun Ce's coffin, but surprisingly, there was another figure next to Zhou Yu at this time.
"Bo Fu, did we make too much trouble this time?" Zhou Yu sighed.
"Gong Jin, this is not the first time I have faked my death. The reason why all parties reacted so loudly this time is because with the help of Zuo Cigong's blindness, even the closest people around me believed that I was really dead. "Yeah." The figure next to him said, and snorted coldly, "Huh! If it wasn't like this, I really didn't realize that these people actually have such courage! Are they making a big fuss? No, I don't think the fuss is enough. It’s big!”
Zhou Yu smiled bitterly,
"Our original purpose was to use this assassination to lure Yuan Shao and Cao Cao into officially starting a war. When they are fighting to the point where they are inseparable, we will take advantage of the situation to seize Jingzhou and even capture Xudu. Take control of Emperor Xian!" At this point, Zhou Yu shook his head. He made a miscalculation this time. He did not expect that while the Sun family was rapidly expanding, it secretly planted so many hidden dangers that everyone thought that Sun Ce was dead. All hidden dangers have exploded!
"Now, even if Yuan Shao and Cao Cao fight fiercely, I'm afraid we won't have enough time to take care of ourselves." Zhou Yu sighed.
Although these people rebelled because Sun Ce died, they would never surrender just because Sun Ce stood up again. There is no other way, I can't get off the tiger, I can't hold back.
Unless, unless Sun Ce is willing to let things go, those who are timid may surrender again. But, is Sun Ce the kind of person who would let things go?
He is not! Even with Sun Ce's always domineering attitude, no one believed that he was!
Therefore, there is no solution but to quell the civil strife first.
"Gong Jin, everything has advantages and disadvantages. If it weren't for the civil strife in Jiangdong, do you really think that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao would fight so easily? In addition, since the hidden dangers have been exposed, it is better to remove them early than to have endless troubles. Wait until this After the civil strife subsides, Jiangdong will be like an iron plate, no longer afraid of any difficulties! Sharpen your sword and never miss the woodcutter." Sun Ce, who deliberately changed his appearance, said, at this time, even if someone comes here, they will definitely know it. Without revealing Sun Ce's identity, one would only think that the somewhat decayed corpse lying in the coffin was Sun Ce.
"Although it is a good thing to say, there are some things that we must avoid. There are some troubles that we can afford, but there are some troubles that we cannot afford." Zhou Yu said rather cryptically.
What kind of chaos can Sun Ce not even be able to bear? Naturally, he is not inferior to Sun Ce’s other side, Sun Quan!
"No matter what, you must go see Zhong Mou immediately!" Zhou Yu reminded, "No one can know that you are not dead, he must know!"
"Don't worry, you should know very well that Zhong Mou has no ambitions." Sun Ce shook his head indifferently, he believed in his brother.
"It's good that Zhongmou has no ambition, but sometimes, what people can't accept is not ambition, but contrast!" Zhou Yu said extremely seriously, "Once he reaches that position and gets used to it, even if he really has no choice at the beginning, But if you ask him to give up, I’m afraid he won’t be so willing!”
Seeing that Sun Ce was still hesitating, Zhou Yu continued,
"Your rare brotherhood really doesn't need to undergo such repeated tests!"
As Sun Quan often said, feelings are the result of mutual feedback. Sometimes, it's not that the relationship can't stand the test, but that these tests bring very bad negative feedback to the relationship. So gradually, the relationship naturally deteriorated. (ps: Because I’m getting married soon, I can’t help but say a few words when I write about feelings recently)
"Besides, Zuo Cigong was entrusted by Zhongmou to help him this time. You should go to Zhongmou to explain and give Zuo Cigong an explanation!"
Zhou Yu's words finally convinced Sun Ce. Sun Ce has always been loyal, and Zuo Ci was kind to Sun Ce by helping him this time, so Sun Ce could not embarrass Zuo Ci no matter what. It would be bad if Sun Quan misunderstood that Zuo Ci's protection was disadvantageous.
"Okay, then I'll go to Xuzhou. I heard that my mother is also in Huaiyin recently, so I'll stop by and see her." Sun Ce decided immediately.
Zhou Yu nodded,
"When the time is right, you can sneak ashore. I will continue to take 'your body' back to Wu County."
Sun Ce's eyes flashed coldly,
"According to my 'will', everyone in Jiangdong must obey Zhongmou's command. You go back for me this time and take a closer look to see how many people dare to disobey my order!"
"What if there is someone who can't even move me?" Zhou Yu's eyes flashed, and the direction was already quite strong.
Sun Ce grinned,
"Then please Gongjin, for my sake, don't be too harsh."
