Sun Quan left, and Dou Yuru remained there with a gloomy expression. She had an agreement with Sun Quan and did not want to fall out with Sun Quan, but this did not mean that she was willing to listen to Sun Quan in everything. Dou Yuru knew very well that Sun Quan actually didn't want to break up with her.
Therefore, there is still room for relaxation in this matter. As long as she follows certain rules, she, Dou Yuru, can save Li Ru!
Li Ru is a rare strategic talent among the Demon Sect today. It can be said that with Li Ru, the Demon Sect may become a force. Without Li Ru, the Demon Sect can only be an organization. They do not have the ability to manage a country or open up a vast territory.
Therefore, Dou Yuru must find a way to keep Li Ru, otherwise the future development of the Demon Sect will be too limited. Moreover, on the other hand, Dou Yuru did not want Sun Quan to get off to such a bad start. We can't let Sun Quan feel that when necessary, people from her Demon Sect can be killed whenever they want.
Thinking of this, Dou Yuru's mind sank, she carefully recalled what Sun Quan had just said, and then started her own action.
??????
After a few days,
Zhou Yu secretly appeared in Lujiang. In order not to affect the war situation in Jiangxia, Zhou Yu came here without telling anyone, so he did not appear in public this time. Only a few people knew that Zhou Yu had come to Lujiang.
"Why did you make such a big fuss?" Zhou Yu questioned Sun Quan as soon as he arrived. As I said before, Zhou Yu always thinks from Sun Ce's perspective, and even subconsciously helps Sun Ce keep an eye on Sun Quan.
But this time, Sun Quan made it known to everyone that Sun Ce was alive, which greatly increased the risk of Sun Ce being found. How could Zhou Yu not doubt Sun Quan's motives? Does this Sun Quan not want his eldest brother to come back? !
"I have no other choice. I'm afraid the news has been leaked within the Demon Sect for a long time. I believe you are also aware of this." Sun Quan replied.
"The rumors are not true. At this juncture, even if someone believes it, they won't spend much manpower and material resources to find it. But now, your behavior has directly confirmed people's speculation!" Zhou Yu said in a deep voice.
"That's right." Sun Quan nodded and admitted, "But Brother Zhou, have you ever thought about it, if you don't make the matter bigger, if my brother really has something, we may never know. If the matter is bigger, so many people will get together. , at least the final result is transparent. Even if it is a less than ideal ending, you can still know the whereabouts of my eldest brother and ensure my eldest brother's safety, right?" Sun Quan explained.
In fact, Sun Quan had already seen Zhou Yu's prejudice against him. If Sun Quan sends people out, Zhou Yu will doubt his motives, but if Sun Quan remains stationary, Zhou Yu will also doubt whether Sun Quan is disregarding Sun Ce's life or death. This contradiction cannot be reconciled at all. This is why Sun Quan deliberately concealed the truth from Zhou Yu this time. The most powerful ministers under him are always on guard against him. Any decision Sun Quan makes will be over-interpreted. How can he let go?
This is Zhou Yu. Sun Quan knows that Zhou Yu is talented and knows that Zhou Yu is loyal to Sun Ce. Otherwise, if it had been anyone else, Sun Quan would have found a way to get rid of Zhou Yu first. Since ancient times, the emperor has always appointed auxiliary ministers to govern. It is not unreasonable.
Zhou Yu did not continue to argue with Sun Quan. He knew very well that the matter had reached this point and there was no point in saying anything.
"I want to rush to Xuzhou immediately, and I will personally direct all actions there. As for Jiangxia, the news of my departure will definitely not be hidden for a long time. Others may not be Huang Zu's opponents, but you are the only one who rushes to Jiangxia in person. That's right, so the matter on Lujiang must be resolved as soon as possible!" Zhou Yu said.
Hearing this, Sun Quan's eyes moved, what an opportunity! Sun Quan originally thought that Zhou Yu came secretly because he was dissatisfied with some of his actions. After negotiating with him, he would probably rush back to Jiangxia to take charge. But he never thought that Zhou Yu was so concerned about Sun Ce's safety that he was worried about the situation in Xuzhou. In addition, out of his distrust of Sun Quan, Zhou Yu had no choice but to take action personally.
In Zhou Yu's eyes, Sun Quan might be disadvantageous to Sun Ce, but Sun Quan would not abandon the interests of the entire Jiangdong. Therefore, there is no problem at all for him, Zhou Yu, to rush to Xuzhou to rescue Sun Ce, and for Sun Quan to go to Jiangxia to defeat Huang Zu. In addition, Zhou Yu also recognized Sun Quan's talent. Although Huang Zu was powerful, Zhou Yu also believed that Sun Quan could handle it.
For Sun Quan, this is great news. Sun Quan originally hoped to use the magic gate to dispatch Zhou Yu, and then go to Jingzhou himself. Now, Zhou Yu took the initiative to give up his position. Maybe Zhou Yu had no intention of letting Sun Quan attack Jingzhou, but as long as he went to Jiangxia and defeated Huang Zu, he would be one step closer to Sun Quan's goal. Without the Demon Sect intervening to coordinate, the possibility of Zhou Yu discovering the truth is reduced. Everything is natural and logical.
"Before I leave, you must execute Li Shu first! Once Li Shu dies, the situation in Lujiang will truly stabilize, and the people of the Demon Sect will give up completely." Zhou Yu said. Of course, Sun Quan's execution of Li Shu would also destroy the relationship between him and the Demon Sect. Zhou Yu knew very well that the Lord of the Demon Sect had an affair with Sun Quan, and he wanted to use this method to force Sun Quan to be ruthless against the Demon Sect without causing any harm. Show mercy when you are in limbo like this.
"The main reason why I have not executed Li Shu is because of the Xu family..." Sun Quan said.
Before he finished speaking, Zhou Yu interrupted directly.
"No need to wait. I got news when I came here that the Xu family encountered an accident on the road. Although nothing happened to them, they probably won't be able to reach Lujiang in a short time. If you don't kill anyone, something will happen later."
"Something happened!" Sun Quan's expression changed and he immediately thought of Dou Yuru. OK! This kind of thing was definitely caused by the Demon Sect. Dou Yuru didn't want to fall out with Sun Quan, so she didn't kill the Xu family. She wanted to use this method to delay the Xu family's arrival in Lujiang.
The Xu family wanted to kill their enemies with their own hands. As long as the Xu family didn't arrive, Li Shu would not die. Dou Yuru only needs to wait until the news comes back to Sun Ce. At that time, she will use "Sun Ce's" life as a threat to force Sun Quan to let Li Shu go. At that time, Sun Quan will also have to cooperate and let the Demon Sect succeed. Otherwise, what will happen next The highlight of the movie can't be played.
What a good plan!
It's a pity it's useless.
Since Sun Quan guessed Dou Yuru's purpose, he would execute Li Shu as soon as possible without Zhou Yu's reminder. If you want to save people under him, there is no way!
"Okay. I'll make arrangements right away. It's a pity that Xu Kun's two sons couldn't come over to make arrangements, but Xu Kun has a daughter who happens to be in Lujiang. Although she is a woman's family, there are reasons for the incident. I think the Xu family can accept this. It's the result." Sun Quan said.
Zhou Yu nodded,
"Without further delay, I will rush to Xuzhou as soon as possible."
