At this moment, Sun Ce seemed to have finally come to his senses. He looked around at everyone and said slowly.
"Liu Yao escorted him back to his house under house arrest and brought Sun Quan to see me. You all should disperse."
Sun Ce's words were unquestionable. Everyone looked around and understood what Sun Ce meant.
What follows is a matter between their brothers, and outsiders should not interfere.
"yes."
Seeing everyone clasping their fists and leaving, Ji Shu opened his mouth several times but still had nothing to say. Finally, he and Zhou Yu retreated and stood guard outside the door.
Today's news was so shocking that many officials only understood the reason for the closure of the city these days. They left the prefect's mansion at the instructions of Ji Shu and Zhou Yu.
You can imagine what kind of sensation Jianye City will cause today.
When Sun Quan was brought into the hall, the entire hall was empty. Sun Ce turned his back to him, staring at the plaque hanging in the hall, which read "For the Country and the People."
These were the words Sun Jian hung in his study. Sun Ce didn't like them for a long time, but after he conquered Jianye, he made a plaque out of these four words and hung them in the Prefect's Mansion.
"Why?"
Sun Ce didn't look back, and his tone was so calm that no emotion could be heard.
"what why?"
Sun Quan looked at Sun Ce's back, a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes, but he had no intention of admitting it.
"Why?"
Sun Ce still said the same words, as if he was too lazy to say anything else.
"Brother, you won't believe the rumors, right?"
Sun Quan knew that Sun Ce might have confirmed that he was the person behind Liu Yao, but he just didn't want to admit it.
It's not that Sun Quan is afraid of death, it can even be said that he wants to die now.
It's just that he didn't intend to die so plainly. He was sure that he didn't leave any clues. At most, Ji Shu and others could guess that he was behind Liu Yao, and Liu Yao would definitely not betray him until his death.
Sun Quan wanted his brother to kill him in this situation!
Looking at Sun Ce's back, embarrassing him and torturing him, Sun Quan felt a little happy.
"Uncle Han is dead."
This sentence made Sun Quan freeze. He only focused on sealing the city and handling matters within the city, and did not send any scouts to investigate.
This also saves the scouts from getting back the information, and then he will be blamed.
He thought that if tens of thousands of people from the aristocratic family coalition went to encircle and suppress Sun Ce, how could they fail?
However, the Aristocratic Family really failed, and what came back was not the Allied Forces of the Aristocratic Family, but Sun Ce's Tiger Roar Camp.
He was angry and desperate, but he didn't expect...
"Uncle Han watched us grow up. I remember when you were still a little like this, Uncle Han said to your father, this kid is smart and will become a great person in the future!"
Sun Ce used his left hand to indicate the height of Sun Quan when he was a child, and finally heard his voice, which was a cry of grief.
Sun Quan gritted his teeth and said nothing.
Sun Ce continued.
"After my father's death, the counties in Jiangdong became independent. Suddenly, it seemed that everyone in the world was an enemy. We only had 3,000 remaining soldiers who fled to Lujiang, and only three uncles, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and Han Dang, were left with us."
"I still remember the night we arrived safely in Lujiang. Our three uncles told us that the Jiangdong Army will rely on us from now on. I will be in charge of the army and you will be in charge. In the future, the Sun family will flourish in our hands."
At that time, Zu Mao and Sun Jian died successively, and Zhu Zhi pretended to be independent in order to save the last bit of the Sun family's family fortune. At that time, Sun Ce and Sun Quan were only teenagers.
What roles did Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang play in their growth? Ji Shu doesn't understand, Zhou Yu doesn't understand, and maybe even their mother doesn't understand.
Sun Quan gritted his teeth and kept looking up and down, left and right, as if he was looking for something.
"I heard from Zi Yuan that Uncle Han was convinced in the end that you were deceived by Liu Yao and didn't know anything about it. He asked Zi Yuan to investigate thoroughly when he comes back and clear your name."
Sun Ce suppressed his anger. Clenching his teeth for a long time made his cheeks stiff and uncomfortable, but he didn't know how to release his teeth.
"If the noble family is the direct murderer of Uncle Han, then you are the accomplice of Uncle Han's death!"
He turned his head and pointed at Sun Quan, glared at Sun Quan, his eyes filled with tears, and roared.
"You still dare to say it in front of me now, didn't you do it?"
These words gnawed at Sun Quan's heart like a curse. All the excuses he had prepared before were forgotten at this moment, and he didn't care about anything anymore.
"I don't want to kill Uncle Han, I just want to kill you!"
Sun Quan roared with red eyes, and his voice even surpassed that of Sun Ce.
"Why?"
This time, Sun Ce looked into Sun Quan's eyes and shouted.
This time, Sun Quan did not avoid it. He was angry, sad, roaring, hysterical, and hideous.
"That's why I'm asking?!"
"Just because I'm a few years younger than you, just because I'm your brother. So everything belongs to you!"
"The inheritance left by my father is yours! What do I have?"
"I have nothing!"
"The position of lord is yours! What do I have?"
"I only have the title of 'Second Young Master'!"
"Gan Ning committed a crime and the whole city is in turmoil. I asked my mother to persuade you to reconcile with the noble family."
"You know what mother said?"
"She said, even if you are wrong, I should still be on your side and help you!"
"Do you know what Xiangxiang said?"
"She said, brother must be right! She won't help me!"
"Why?"
"Why!"
"Why are you just talking about your ideals, but everyone is helping you?"
"Why do I focus on safeguarding Jiangdong's foundation and everyone is complaining about me!"
"what is this?"
"In the end, everyone only sees you!"
"Whatever you do is right, and I am the one who is wrong!"
"Always me!"
"Just because I'm a few years younger than you!"
"Just because I'm your brother!"
"I don't accept it!"
"That's not fair!"
Sun Quan shouted with all his strength, but he didn't know when he shed tears.
Sun Ce was speechless for a moment. He never thought that Sun Quan would hate him so much.
After Sun Jian's death, he worked hard to manage Lujiang and planned to regain Jiangdong. What was his purpose?
People from Jiangdong? Peace in the world?
That was my father's dream, and he didn't understand it at that time.
He started out just for something simpler, for his mother, brother and sister.
Perhaps language is the most hurtful blade.
Sun Ce felt his heart bleeding a little bit, and he yelled back with all his strength.
"So, you envied my position and desperately planned to kill me for this reason."
"Is it fair if you kill me? If you kill me, you will be satisfied, right?"
Can you be satisfied?
Sun Ce's words echoed in Sun Quan's ears. There should have been an answer to this matter, but Sun Quan had no answer.
This road leads only to emptiness.
Endless emptiness.
People sometimes pursue things that are empty and enviable to others, not knowing that they are not what they want.
Therefore, they can never be satisfied, because no matter how much they get, it is just more emptiness.
"I can tolerate Liu Yao's betrayal. Because he doesn't matter to me."
"But you can't, you are my brother."
"I must give an explanation to Uncle Han and an explanation to the Han family."
Sun Ce walked towards Sun Quan step by step, his sword slowly unsheathed.
After hearing Sun Ce's last words, Sun Quan took a long breath, as if he had put down a lot of baggage. His whole body relaxed, he knelt on the ground, raised his neck, and closed his eyes. He didn't want to fight for anything anymore. The more he fought, the more he lost. He was a little tired.
Sun Ce's hands kept shaking. He didn't know how he lifted the sword. The sword was raised high above his head but seemed to have no strength to fall. He quickly grabbed the hilt of the sword with his left hand and squeezed out bit by bit. All the strength in the body will be cut down.
At this time, a small figure ran out from the back hall, hugged Sun Ce, and cried in a childish voice.
"Brother, don't kill the second brother! Oh~~ don't kill the second brother!"
"Xiangxiang will listen to you in everything from now on, okay? Woohoo~~~"
"Uncle Bearded is dead, dad is dead, ugh~~Uncle Han is dead too, I don't want my second brother to die."
"If you dare to kill my second brother, I will hate you forever! Wuwu~~~"
"I won't be naughty anymore, woo~~~ I won't be picky about food anymore, Xiangxiang will listen to you from now on, okay! Wow~~~~Don't kill my second brother, woo~~~~~"
"Wu~~~Second brother, run quickly. Wu~~~Xiangxiang doesn't want you to die, wu~~~"
"Woooooo~~~~"
Sun Shangxiang's beautiful little face was wrinkled and messy, covered with tears, uglier than a kitten. She hugged Sun Ce desperately, trying to use her little strength to pull Sun Ce back.
Sun Ce raised his head, opened his mouth wide and kept breathing, as if a drowning man was demanding air, and tears couldn't stop flowing down his cheeks.
"What is this? What are all these?"
With a "kick" sound, the sword fell to the ground.
Sun Quan lowered his head, fell on the ground, and cried bitterly.
