The sun sets in the west and the sky is almost dark.
The three of them gathered together by the Yangtze River for the whole afternoon with their own purposes in mind. Lu Su wanted to leave just now, but he always felt that something was wrong.
It was inconvenient to sail at night, so Guan Yu invited Lu Su to rest in the city posthouse.
Lu Su shook his head and said, "I still have a lot of military affairs in Chaisang, so it's better to rush back overnight."
"Zijing is now the Commander-in-Chief. This is different from the past. Ziyu and I will see you off." Not far away, Guan Yu saw the generals of Jiangdong waiting eagerly and no longer tried to persuade him.
At dusk, the breeze blew on his face. On the way back to the pier, Lantian felt something was close. Suddenly he found a lump in his arms, and then he remembered Zhou Shan's token.
Lan Tian took out the token and handed it to Lu Su and asked, "Does Zijing recognize this thing?"
Lu Su took the token with a puzzled look on his face, feeling a bit familiar. When he turned over the back, his eyes suddenly opened wide. It was a special pattern.
The first general stood on the stone, bent his bow and raised an arrow, aiming at a mighty tiger below. This was Sun Quan's special tiger-shooting order. It was often issued to people close to him to do things for him. Holding the tiger-shooting order was Sun Quan's token.
"This token seems to belong to me, Jiangdong. How could it appear in Ziyu's hand?" Lu Su asked doubtfully, but did not tell the origin out of caution.
Lan Tian smiled and said: "Xuande put the crown prince in Quanling when he entered Sichuan. A few months ago, there was a guard named Zhou Shan who claimed to be ordered by Mrs. Sun to take the crown prince Adou away by force. He failed and tried to kidnap me. Son, this is the token found on his body..."
A huge wave surged in Lu Su's heart. He knew very well the relationship between Zhou Shan and Sun Quan. Is this guy holding the Tiger Shooting Order and running to Quanling to kidnap people? Who gave him the courage? Isn't this destroying the Sun-Liu alliance?
"Is there such a thing? Mrs. Sun is too bold. Did Ziyu go to Jiangling to seek confirmation?" Guan Yu frowned.
"Mrs. Sun is the mistress of Jingzhou after all. As a subordinate, how can I come forward to question her? This is unreasonable..." Lan Tian shook his head.
Seeing Sun Shangxiang taking the blame, Lu Su couldn't help but explain: "Zhou Shan is indeed from Jiangdong, but he is not Miss Sun's bodyguard, and this Tiger Shooting Order is not Miss Sun's property..."
"So someone in Jiangdong has evil intentions?" Lan Tian frowned.
"There is absolutely no possibility of an alliance between Sun and Liu. The Token of Shooting Tigers belongs to our lord. Although this token looks lifelike, it is a bit fake upon closer inspection. Perhaps it is a stratagem sent by Cao Cao to alienate people? Did Mr. Ziyu see this with his own eyes?" " Lu Su was so anxious that he first put the blame on Cao Cao, and analyzed from Lan Tian's words that he was not present at the time. This matter could be settled without on-site verification.
Lan Tian nodded, "It is possible to create a divorce plan. I was working in various places to fight droughts and provide disaster relief. Although I did not see it with my own eyes, Jia Jiang and his son who were present are now in Jiangxia."
You want a witness, right? I have it here too.
Lu Su was a little bit stuck, so he smiled and said: "I have met Zhou Shan several times. Ziyu can invite your general here, and he can tell the authenticity by describing his appearance."
Yes or no, it all comes from your mouth. This confrontation originally had no meaning, but Lu Su had to do his best on the scene, so Guan Yu sent someone to invite him.
Lu Su showed an honest smile as he walked, as if to say that people of the Han Dynasty would not deceive people of the Han Dynasty.
When a few people walked to the dock, Guan Ping led Gao Yuan and Lan Ji over.
Lan Tian waved to Lan Ji, then held him in his arms, pointed at Lu Su and said, "Ji'er, this is Uncle Rulu. Do you still remember the appearance of the person who held you hostage? Tell Uncle Lu."
Lan Ji saw that Lu Su was not timid. He scratched his little head and thought about it carefully, and then described it loudly: "That man has a broad face, his skin is darker than his father, and his beard looks like this..."
Lan Ji was describing and gesticulating, and Lu Su thought to himself, who else could it be if he wasn't Zhou Shan? Was this guy's head kicked by a horse?
"Zijing, is this Zhou Shan?" Guan Yu asked doubtfully.
"It doesn't look like..." Lu Su shook his head first and then asked, "What is your son Ziyu's name? He is much more cheerful than ordinary children."
"Ming Ji." Lan Tian replied.
"I heard that after Lan Ji was born, his cries shook off the spring thunder, and suddenly the clouds were filled with rain, so he was named Ji." Guan Yu added.
"That's great. How about letting uncle give him a hug?" Lu Su smiled and clapped his hands.
Lan Ji turned around and saw that Lan Tian's expression was still the same as before. He turned his little eyes and looked at Guan Yu and stretched out his hand: "Uncle Lu is not as good as my uncle in his beard, so it is better for my uncle to hug me..."
Guan Yu held Lan Ji in his arms, and Lan Ji played with Guan Yu's beard. The beard-loving general was not angry either.
Lu Su was as embarrassed as a withered tree in the autumn wind. When he saw this, he asked naively: "Did that bad guy hurt you? How was he restrained in the end?"
It is well known that children cannot lie, and Lu Su also wanted to understand some facts in a tactful way.
Lan Ji is no ordinary child. Under Lu Lingqi's strict teaching, he can tell whether he can speak or not.
Let's talk about Lan Ji's highlight moment. He immediately sat in Guan Yu's arms, pointed at the plateau and said, "The assassin grabbed me with one hand. The guards in the mansion didn't dare to come close. I winked at Uncle Gao." I blinked, and then bit his hand hard. Uncle Gao took advantage of the situation to save me, and then I was killed by my mother in two moves. It was really without a fight..."
"Ji'er is smart. This bite is good. The teeth are not broken, right?" Guan Yu asked kindly.
Children's deciduous teeth are extremely sharp. Although it hurts to bite, the roots are unstable. Today's generals are generally rough-skinned and thick-flesh. Guan Yu is really worried that the child's teeth will collapse.
Lan Ji turned back and said with a grin: "It's not bad, my teeth are in very good condition."
Lu Su looked at Lan Ji and then at Lan Tian, and said with a smile: "The son of Ziyu and Marquis Wen is really not an ordinary son. Having such a beautiful son is really enviable."
"Zijing, don't praise him. This kid is very cheeky." Lan Tian looked at Lan Ji's proud face and couldn't help but shake his head and said.
Lu Su saw that Zhou Shan's topic had been successfully changed. He struck while the iron was hot and continued: "Ziyu's words are wrong. Only with such a character can great things be achieved. There are many beauties in our Jiangnan water town. This time I will go back to promote your son, and then I will give him Looking for a good match."
Lan Tian and Guan Yu were immediately stunned. Lu Su was speaking unintentionally and listening was intentional. They were now Liu Bei's right-hand men. They were all figures who could shake mountains with just a stomp of their feet in Jingzhou. How could they marry external forces at will?
"I appreciate Zijing's kindness. Ji'er is still young..." Lan Tian shook his head and said.
"It's just because I made the decision when I was young. When this child grows up and makes a great contribution, I'm afraid that the people who say we're close will crush your door..." Lu Su said with a smile on his face.
"I respect you..."
Before Lantian finished speaking, Lu Su bowed his hands and said, "I think it's getting late, so I can't stay here longer. I'll set off back to Chaisang and say goodbye..."
Guan Yu hugged Lan Ji and nodded in greeting, but Lan Tian had no choice but to awkwardly clasp his fists in return.
Seeing Lu Su boarding the Jiangdong warship, Guan Yu reminded him meaningfully: "Although Lu Zijing has good intentions, Ziyu, you have to think carefully..."
Lan Tian smiled and replied: "Don't worry, Mr. Yun, Ji'er will not marry a Jiangdong woman..."
