Sun Ce's words can be said to have directly given Zhou Yu Shangfang's sword, giving him the independent right to kill decisively. Of course, as Sun Ce's biggest confidant, and as the only person who knows that Sun Ce faked his death (Zuo Ci: Am I not a human anymore?), Zhou Yu deserves to be entrusted with such a great responsibility by Sun Ce.
In fact, sometimes, even though Sun Ce is only focused on fighting, it does not mean that he does not understand the art of strategy. Some people who were too close, and some whom Sun Ce could not handle, were all handed over to Zhou Yu to deal with. In this way, Sun Ce's purpose could be achieved without shaking the rule of the Sun family.
It is conceivable that Zhou Yu returned to Jiangdong this time and brought back Sun Ce's "legacy". If there is any vacillation, I am afraid it will set off a bloody storm.

Xiapi, the governor's mansion,
"Why did you come back today?" Diao Chan looked at Sun Quan's sudden return and was very surprised.
During this period, Sun Quan had been staying at the Sishui embankment, always at the forefront directing disaster relief. It was precisely because of this that the people of Xiapi accepted Sun Quan very quickly, and Sun Quan earned endless reputation in a short period of time. Originally, everyone's life was very difficult due to the flood, but when they thought that even the leader of Xuzhou, Sun Quan, was living in the wilderness every day, and he also found the famous miracle doctor Hua Tuo to treat everyone for free, this made the people We are full of hope for the days ahead.
Everyone believes that under the leadership of Sun Quan, the hardships will soon be over, and they will live a happy and contented life from now on.
Therefore, under this good momentum, Diao Chan believed that Sun Quan did not need to give up halfway. Sun Quan suddenly returned, maybe something big happened.
"I'm just going to come back and see how you're doing with your house?" Sun Quan said, deliberately looking around the house, but seeing Diao Chan's serious expression, Sun Quan could only stop the topic quickly.
"Ahem, okay, no more joking. It's Yuan Shao's envoy who is here." Sun Quan leaned closer and whispered.
"How come I don't know anything about this?" Diao Chan was stunned. It is not surprising that Yuan Shao would send an envoy, but since the envoy entered Xuzhou and arrived all the way to Xiapi, how could there be no news in advance? Doesn’t anyone in the towns along the way know about it?
"It came very suddenly, and it is said that the standards are very high." Sun Quan replied.
Diao Chan nodded thoughtfully, her status was very high, indicating that an important person was here. Since he was an important person, it was not surprising that he concealed his whereabouts all the way and did not reveal his identity until he arrived at Xiapi.
"Who is coming?" Diao Chan asked. She originally thought it would be an important counselor under Yuan Shao. When negotiating, you must find someone who can speak well. Yuan Shao has many advisers, so it is not surprising to send a few as envoys.
result,
"Yuan Shao's son!" Sun Quan said with narrowed eyes.
"Yuan Shao's son?!" This time, Diao Chan was really shocked. Although the two countries are at war and Bu Zhan came to envoy, Sun Quan and Yuan Shao now have almost a quasi-hostile relationship. Did Yuan Shao send his son here because he wanted his son to die?
Aren't you afraid that Sun Quan would directly kidnap his son as a hostage? Aren't you afraid that the negotiation will break down in the end, so just kill his son to sacrifice the flag first?
"Which son?" Diao Chan couldn't help but ask. She wanted to make sure that the person who came was an unwanted abandoned child. Or is it that Yuan Shao's attitude suddenly changed drastically? Yuan Shao wanted to cooperate with the Sun family and conspire with Cao Cao. To show his sincerity, he sent his son here?
"Youzhou Mu Yuan Xi." Sun Quan shrugged as he said, "Of course, I don't know if it's true or not. Have any of us here seen Yuan Xi before? Don't let an impostor come and fool us. That would be funny."
To say such a thing shows that Sun Quan doesn't really believe that Yuan Shao will really send Yuan Xi here.
Although Yuan Shao's eldest son is Yuan Tan and his favorite son is Yuan Shang, since Yuan Xi can be named Youzhou Mu by Yuan Shao and unify the state, it proves that Yuan Xi is by no means an abandoned son.
"There are only three possibilities for Yuan Shao to send Yuan Xi here. First, I think the biggest possibility is that this Yuan Xi is simply a fake and is used by Yuan Shao to paralyze us. Then I am afraid that Yuan Shao will immediately want to attack Xuzhou! Second , Yuan Shao wants to cooperate with me and attack Cao Cao with me. To show his sincerity, he deliberately asked Yuan Xi to come over. Third..." Sun Quan suddenly sneered, "Three, Yuan Shao is arrogant and thinks that my Sun family is afraid of Yu. He doesn’t dare to go to war with him at all, so because I don’t dare to do anything to his son, I let Yuan Xi suppress me at the negotiating table!”
"What are you going to do?" Diao Chan asked.
"They will enter the city soon. No matter what, we must greet them with the highest standards. I will find an opportunity to test whether Yuan Xi is real or not. If he is real, it depends on his attitude." Sun Quan sneered. He said, if Yuan Xi is humble and low-key, that's okay. If he is arrogant, then there is no need for this person to go back alive.
"In addition, reveal the secret meeting between Yuan Xi and me to Cao Cao without any trace." Sun Quan said, "Whether Yuan Xi is true or false, since he is here, he is valuable to us."
"Understood, I will make arrangements for you right now." Diao Chan nodded, suddenly remembered something, and said, "By the way, Master Zuo Ci didn't come to Xiapi, right?"
Sun Quan frowned,
"Probably not, what?"
If Zuo Ci keeps his promise, he should be with Sun Ce.
"It seems that a formation master has been staying in Xiapi recently. I don't know if he is an enemy or a friend." Diao Chan looked at Sun Quan and said, obviously hoping that Sun Quan would go and have a look. After all, Sun Quan is also proficient in formations, right?
Sun Quan's face froze. Due to the system update, he has not yet been able to get the "Invulnerable" card that he had always prepared. Now let Sun Quan crack the formation unless he keeps using Sansi Illusion to simulate it, but the problem now is , Sun Quan may not be able to find where the formation is at all, let alone let me think twice, skills are so important.
"There are always strange people and strangers in the world, and if you provoke them rashly, you might get into trouble. As long as the other party doesn't do anything, let's ignore him for the time being." Sun Quan said.
Diao Chan glanced at Sun Quan strangely, feeling that Sun Quan's reaction was a bit unnatural. Could it be that Sun Quan knew something? Could it be that Sun Quan guessed who it was? After all, they are both formation masters, so it is normal for them to have some personal interactions. But why did Sun Quan hide it from her?
"I think so too. It's really unnecessary to have multiple inexplicable enemies for no reason." Diao Chan nodded and kept this matter in her heart for the time being.

At the same time, on the other side,
"Miss, is this really okay?" The maid followed Zhen Mi with a worried look on her face.
"Of course. I have already told Sun Quan about my coming. He will come to find me at the place I mentioned in the evening. Let's go there to prepare first." Zhen Mi said. She still remembered Sun Quan's way of breaking the formation. "Qian", after many years, the arrogant Zhen Mi still couldn't help but want to compare with Sun Quan.
"But we just said that in the formation, right?" The maid couldn't help but remind her.
"Others can't see it, but he can. Didn't you see him smiling and waving to me at the end?" Zhen Mi said confidently.
