Jian Yong looked at Xu You, but he didn't say much.

Although Jian Yong is relatively upright, it still depends on what the reason is and for whom.

As a die-hard loyalist of Liu Bei, what he did was naturally biased toward Liu Bei.

The current situation is obvious. If Sun Ce is present in Jiangdong, then Jiangdong will naturally not take the initiative to participate in the alliance of princes.

And it just so happened that his lord Liu Bei really needed Jiangdong's forces to join him.

If Jiangdong joins the alliance of princes, then to the alliance of princes, their territories will be considered to be connected together.

In addition, Jiangdong's soldiers can also strengthen the alliance of princes and make the alliance of princes stronger.

Especially, coupled with the navy of the alliance of princes, everyone in the world knows that the elite navy of the Han Dynasty is in Jingzhou and Jiangdong.

It can be said that the current alliance of princes really needs Jiangdong.

Therefore, Jian Yong had the same view as Xu You regarding Sun Ce who was blocking the road, let him die.

To be honest, Jian Yong felt that Sun Ce was a bit unethical, apart from their differences in stance.

Yesterday, they met with Sun Ce to discuss cooperation. Sun Ce clearly neither refused nor agreed.

After getting him and Xu You drunk, he ran away and cried, saying that he would go hunting and talk about it when he came back.

Doesn't this make it clear that they are being treated as fools? It can only be said that Sun Ce's behavior is really unreasonable.

Since Jian Yong and Xu You failed to meet again, they returned to the posthouse again and waited for news.

They don't need to worry about the rest of the matter at all. Jiangdong soldiers will naturally solve everything for them. They just need to wait for the news.

As a result, we waited for five days before we got the news.

At noon five days later, Xu You and Jian Yong were resting in the inn. At this time, a Jiangdong soldier ran in quickly.

"Two adults, my second young master has invited me." Jiangdong's soldiers said immediately after seeing Xu You and Jian Yong.

"Oh? The second young master asked me to wait? Could it be that the Marquis is back?" As soon as Xu You heard that it was the second young master who invited him, he knew that the matter had come to an end.

But he still had to work hard to save face, so he asked pretendingly.

"My lord, I don't know about this young man, but the second young master asked me to invite you two to come over." The soldier replied.

Hearing what the Jiangdong soldier said, Xu You and the others did not feel embarrassed. They stood up and walked outside.

When they followed the soldiers to the Wucheng Hou Mansion, the entire Hou Mansion was under martial law. A large number of Jiangdong nobles surrounded the entire Hou Mansion on three floors inside and three outside.

Under the leadership of this soldier, Xu You and Jian Yong entered the Hou Mansion.

When they walked to the venue of the last banquet again, Jiangdong's upper-level officials gathered here.

The superior, as a young man, was looking at the noisy officials with a livid face.

Seeing Xu You and Jian Yong walking into the lobby, the voices of the officials stopped.

"Greetings to the Second Young Master." Xu You and Jian Yong were the first to greet Sun Quan, while Sun Quan raised his hand to signal them to level up.

"May I ask, Second Young Master, I was invited to come here today, but the Marquis is back?" Xu You was the first to ask.

As soon as they heard Xu You's words, everyone present looked at the two of them blankly.

Although he already knew what was going on, the drama had to go on, so Xu Youyou put on an expression of confusion.

At this time, Sun Quan, who was sitting in the upper position, sighed, and then said to Xu You and Jian Yong: "To tell you the truth, my brother will never come back."

Upon hearing this, Xu You put on a puzzled expression, looked at Sun Quan and asked: "May I ask, Second Young Master, what does it mean that the Marquis cannot come back?"

"Two noble envoys, my brother went hunting a few days ago, but encountered an accident on the way, and now his life or death is uncertain." Sun Quan said with a sad face.

"What?" Xu You looked startled and immediately exclaimed: "What accident happened to Mr. Hou?"

"When my brother was hunting, he got separated from his guards in the heavy fog, and then he encountered an assassin who fired a cold arrow. After being hit by several arrows, he fell into the river, and his life or death is unknown." Sun Quan replied.

"Assassin? Has the assassin been caught?" Xu You asked with a frown.

"Seeing that there was no hope of breaking out, the assassin committed suicide. But the body has been transported back to Jianye." Sun Quan shook his head and then said.

"Second Young Master, can you let me see the weapons used by assassins? Maybe we will find something." Xu You once again expressed his opinion.

Sun Quan did not refuse. After Xu You said it, he waved to the attendant next to him.

After the attendant left, he quickly returned and placed several crossbow arrows, arrows and knives in front of Xu You.

Xu You picked up the arrow and missed it. He glanced at it pretendingly, and then said to Sun Quan: "Second Young Master, someone may know who sent the murderer."

"Oh, I dare to ask sir, who is it!" Sun Quan looked at Xu You with a fierce mask and said word by word.

"Back to the Second Young Master, I estimate that the person behind the assassins is the one from Luoyang City! These weapons are all standard equipment of the imperial court." Xu You said slowly.

"Xu Ziyuan! You are talking nonsense!" As soon as Xu You finished speaking, a veteran sitting next to him stood up and scolded Xu You.

"General, how can you say that this is nonsense?" Xu You knew the current situation in Jiangdong very well.

To put it simply, Jiangdong was divided into two factions at this time, one was the aristocratic family, which was the Jiangdong civil servant faction, and the other was the military generals.

Civil servants, that is, aristocratic families, mainly consider the interests of their own families.

Although the generals also consider their own interests, they mostly consider the interests of their lord, that is, Sun Ce.

They are very loyal to Sun Ce. If Sun Ce decides to join the alliance of princes, these generals will definitely support him.

But if Sun Ce disagrees and wants to be neutral, they will not object.

Therefore, the generals in Jiangdong are all based on Sun Ce's opinions. But the current situation is that Sun Ce does not agree to join the alliance of princes. Then the Jiangdong family will not get the support of the generals.

Therefore, when the Jiangdong aristocratic families planned to get rid of Sun Ce, they did not notify the Jiangdong generals at all.

Now, the generals' lord Sun Ce was attacked, and his life or death was unknown. And now some people said that the assassin was sent by Liu Xie, which had to make the generals in Jiangdong suspicious.

"Not to mention that the little emperor has no reason to send people to assassinate the lord. Even if he sends people, how do you know that it is the little emperor who sends people? Is it just based on these swords?"

"I don't think the young emperor is so stupid. He sends people out to assassinate people and uses his own equipment!" After saying this, the old general turned around, clasped his fists at Sun Quan and said: "Second Young Master, I would like to ask Second Young Master to help me."

Find out everything and give the lord justice!"
