At this moment, Sun Quan basically understood what the masked man was thinking today. To be honest, Sun Quan had to admire him for being able to make such a powerful response in such a short period of time. I am afraid there is no other person in the world today!
Pushing back, why did the masked man deliberately set up Taishi Ci to die?
First, of course, it is to kill people with a borrowed knife and eradicate the cronies loyal to Sun Ce.
Second, he tied a group of neutral people to his boat! Taishi Ci died in battle, and everyone in Hanzhong was responsible. If they didn't join in the rebellion, how could they go to Sun Ce to plead guilty? You know, Sun Ce is famous for being ruthless in killing. And the people here were originally Shu ministers under Liu Zhang. After changing jobs once, it would be much easier to jump a second time.
However, Sun Quan's arrival disrupted the masked man's original perfect plan. Not only did Sun Quan come, but the key was to come as an anti-Sun Ce.
Just imagine, what would these people do if news came out at this time that Taishi Ci had died in battle? Just hug Sun Quan's thigh and that's it! Is there such a person who refuses to walk on the Sunshine Avenue and runs to raise a flag against the masked man when he is full?
How to break the situation?
To be honest, even Sun Quan himself couldn't think of any good solution if he put himself in the other party's position. And the masked man not only thought of it, he thought of it so quickly. He is indeed a rare talent!
House arrest? Prevent Sun Quan from meeting other people in Hanzhong?
Just kidding, such a cautious and intelligent person would not understand Sun Quan? Even a three-year-old child knows that Sun Quan is the best in the world. Will house arrest be useful to Sun Quan? How long can it be stopped?
The so-called house arrest and obstruction are just delaying time. The real purpose of the masked man is to be bound to Sun Quan, or in other words, to make the outside world think that he is bound to Sun Quan.
Who is the masked man? Everyone knew that the masked man was Sun Ce's confidant. Sun Quan got together with Sun Ce's cronies as soon as he arrived. Do you still think that the Sun brothers turned against each other? Do you still think Sun Quan is really rebelling against Sun Ce?
As long as people doubt whether Sun Quan and Sun Ce are good to the two brothers, and whether they will pretend to fall out with each other, then when the news of Tai Shici's death in battle comes, these people will have to think twice if they want to hug Sun Quan's lap.
Of course, it would be inappropriate for the masked man who was "loyal" to Sun Ce to raise a rebel flag at that time. But as I said before, the masked man is just an identity. He can completely change to another identity and use another substitute to raise the flag, and it will not affect his plan.
What's more surprising is yet to come. After what happened today, the masked man took Sun Quan to the manor. In Sun Quan's imagination, the next step should be to show his loyalty to him. Even if he was pretending to show loyalty, he had to put on a show. Bar. Since he is going to act, it is the most basic thing for the masked man to take the initiative to show his identity.
But no!
Why?
Because the masked man's current position is to be loyal to Sun Ce, and Sun Quan is now coming in the name of opposing Sun Ce. There is no need for the masked man to reveal his identity to Sun Quan, right?
Therefore, after he was brought back, he was placed under house arrest and had no contact with her. Yes, it is an attitude to insist on house arrest even though you know it is useless.
It not only helped Sun Ce preserve the brotherhood, but also kept a distance from Sun Quan. If Sun Quan had not known in advance that the other party was the mastermind behind the scenes, just by looking at this move, there was nothing wrong with it, and no one would have any unnecessary doubts.
The only risk for the masked man to do this is that Sun Quan and Sun Ce really fall out, and then the cronies who are loyal to Sun Ce may become targets of Sun Quan's elimination.
However, the masked man is not worried.
First of all, I believe that the news of Tai Shici's death in battle will come soon, he just needs to delay it for a while.
Secondly, Sun Quan loved talents, but there was no one available in Hanzhong. If he had not been forced to do so, Sun Quan would not have killed anyone directly.

Thinking of this, Sun Quan couldn't help but give Sima Yi a slap. You said that you are also a masked man, but you are also a famous figure in history. How come you are so different from others!
Sima Yi was beaten for no reason, and he just begged for mercy.
"My lord, you can't leave your subordinates alone. Your subordinates have toiled hard all the way."
"Don't worry, I won't leave you alone." Sun Quan patted Sima Yi on the shoulder. If nothing else, he might use Sima Yi's identity as a masked man to go fishing in the future. After all, Sima Yi's identity as a masked man has been obtained by many people today. Certification, "You can stay here with me these days and be served good food and drink."
"Why don't you go and meet those people outside secretly?" Sima Yi pointed out the window.
"Don't worry, Zhuge Liang is here." Sun Quan lay down peacefully with his hands folded.
The masked man wanted to delay time, so why didn't Sun Quan want to delay time? Just wait until the end, what should happen doesn’t happen, and what shouldn’t happen happens again. Let’s see who can sit still!
······
For three days in a row, Sun Quan stayed in the manor and never left.
As for the people outside the manor, there was always an endless stream, and no one left. Just kidding, there is plenty of time, but opportunities can be fleeting. If at any moment Sun Quan wants to meet someone and you are not around, then I probably won't have to mess around anymore.
If Sun Quan doesn't move and the people outside the door don't leave, the masked man will naturally not leave easily. One is to continue to be wary of Sun Quan secretly meeting other people, and the other is to be careful that Sun Quan will play other tricks at any time. Only when the masked man is on the scene can he respond immediately and reveal his tricks.
Until late that night. That was the night of the third day when Sun Quan and Sima Yi stayed.
before midnight,
Sun Quan, who insisted on meditating every night and was regarded as a model of self-discipline by Sima Yi, suddenly opened his eyes.
"What's wrong? My lord?"
Sima Yi, who had been unable to sleep deeply recently, woke up instantly.
Sun Quan didn't speak, just frowned slightly, remained silent for a while, then put his hand on Sima Yi's wrist, and a stream of pure Qi passed through.
"It hurts, it hurts! Master, please spare my life!" Sima Yi immediately cried out and begged for mercy.
"I see."
Sun Quan opened his brows, revealing a sneer that Sima Yi had never seen on his face before. This is a "murderous" smile!
"We've been poisoned." Sun Quan sneered. He knew that the masked man was not an ordinary person, but he still didn't expect that boy to be so ruthless in his actions.
It makes sense when you think about it. What is the purpose of the masked man doing so many things in the past? Isn't the purpose just to tie up other neutral camps to rebel against Jiangdong! If Sun Quan died here, he would have to rebel either way! And there won't be any repayment at all, which is much better than the effect of Tai Shici dying in battle.
"Poisoned?!" Sima Yi was subconsciously shocked, and then asked doubtfully, "But my lord, you said before that if someone poisons you, you will know it immediately, and there is no poison in this world that can harm you. Is that what you said? "
Sun Quan nodded,
"I was indeed a little careless, because the poison this time was not poison in the traditional sense."
Poisons in the traditional sense, whether they are potent or chronic, will ultimately cause harm to the human body. With Sun Quan's current state, he can detect the poison the moment he comes into contact with it, and as soon as he discovers it, he can immediately expel the poison.
However, there are exceptions, such as Gu. If the poisonous insect is not discovered the moment it enters the body, it is hidden in the body and can easily be ignored as long as it does not cause damage to the body.
But this time, what Sun Quan encountered was another kind of accident.
