The next day, Zhou Yu returned to Duke Wu's mansion and reported to Sun Ce the failure of his persuasion of Sun Shangxiang.

In fact, it doesn’t take Zhou Yu to report, Sun Ce also got some news from Da Qiao, and he could find out the result after a little speculation.

After one night, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce got together again to discuss. In fact, this was the guilt of Sun Shangxiang in their hearts. If they came to discuss how to make Sun Shangxiang obey that night, they would not treat Sun Shangxiang as their own girl, but an item.

In this era when women are like clothes, it is already very good that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu can consider this.

"Bofu, I disappoint you." Zhou Yu said to Sun Ce in great ashamed.

Sun Ce shook his head and said, "If you succeed in one go, that's really surprising. Something to be expected."

Zhou Yu knew that Sun Ce was telling the truth. Sun Shangxiang's strange woman was not something that ordinary people could persuade. Zhou Yu believed that he was not an ordinary person, but he couldn't do anything to Sun Shangxiang.

"I received the news last night that my younger sister practiced sword skills in her mansion all night." Sun Ce sighed and said, "It seems that she doesn't accept that she will marry her."

Zhou Yu and Sun Ce both watched Sun Shangxiang grow up and knew why Sun Shangxiang looked like that last night.

"Hey, Bo Fu, I don't make things difficult for my younger sister. Isn't it Liu Yu? Let's fight hard! Let's see how he can treat us!?" Zhou Yu rarely made a ruthless move.

Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu and found that Zhou Yu was indeed serious. He immediately laughed.

"Gongjin, if I fight with Liu Yu, how likely will I win?" Sun Ce asked with a smile.

Zhou Yu immediately fell silent.

Yes, the most irrational thing about Dongwu now is to fight against Liu Yu. Liu Yu is powerful and can afford it, but Dongwu is not good, and he is not at the same level at all.

If it weren't for the huge gap in strength, Zhou Yu wouldn't have persuaded Sun Ce to use the strategy of marriage to gain time to recuperate and practical strategies.

Zhou Yu sighed and said, "If the younger sister doesn't want to, the marriage plan will fail. Then think of other ways."

Sun Ce kept silent, and he knew that this was the situation now.

While the two were discussing, they suddenly heard Zhang Zhao ask for a meeting.

As the head of the civil servant, Zhang Zhao came to ask for an important matter. Sun Ce asked someone to invite Zhang Zhao in without any hesitation.

Soon, the white-haired Zhang Zhao came to Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, bowed and said, "See the lord, the governor."

"Zibu, what's the matter with you here?" Sun Ce asked directly about his purpose.

Zhang Zhao said: "I heard that the governor went to the lobbyist lady yesterday, but I wonder if there is a conclusion?"

Zhou Yu was unhappy when he heard this. This guy actually asked about himself. However, with Zhang Zhao's IQ, it is normal to guess that Zhou Yu and Sun Ce's decisions were made. The second Zhang of Dongwu is not two ordinary old people.

Sun Ce did not stop at all and said directly: "It's rare that Zibu cares. Hi, let's tell you the truth, Gongjin is not good at getting a master!"

"Oh? It's related to the lord's plan! Governor, can you tell me about the conversation with Miss Sun?" Zhang Zhao asked.

Zhou Yu looked at Sun Ce, and Sun Ce nodded slightly and said, "Gongjin can say it directly, Zibu may have some help."

With Sun Ce's permission, Zhou Yu told Zhang Zhao all the conversation between him and Sun Shangxiang.

After saying that, Zhou Yu asked Zhang Zhao: "Zibu, this is the case. Shang Xiang practiced swordsmanship all night last night, which shows that she was depressed. Do you have a good solution?"

After hearing all Zhou Yu's words, Zhang Zhao began to ponder.

Zhou Yu and Sun Ce kept waiting for Zhang Zhao silently to see what this old guy has.

After a while, Zhang Zhao smiled and said, "Lord, Governor, I think it is a bad idea to let the Governor go to lobby Miss Sun. I think this cause and effect requires another person to go!"

The failure of lobbying is of course a bad strategy. Sun Ce and Zhou Yu also admitted it.

But who is going to change?

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu both have such questions. Among all the talents in Eastern Wu, there seems to be no such person.

"Zibu, please speak out!" Sun Ce didn't want to waste time.

Zhang Zhao bowed and said, "Lord, I want to see the Grand Prince!"

Well?! Zhou Yu and Sun Ce instantly understood that the other person Zhang Zhao said was Sun Shangxiang's biological mother, Wu Guo is so!

Let me mention it here that Sun Jian has two wives, one is the first wife, Mrs. Wu, and the other is the current Wu Guotai. Mrs. Wu is Sun Ce, Sun Quan, Sun Yi, and Sun Kuang's biological mother, and Wu Guotai is Sun Lang and Sun Shangxiang's biological mother. Sun Jian's two wives are from their own sisters.

The dead ghost Sun Jian immediately took two sisters and enjoyed the blessings of the same people. Life is worth it.

Sun Ce's biological mother died early, and their large group of children were taken care of by Wu Guotai. In Sun Ce's mind, there was no difference between Wu Guotai and his biological mother.

Regarding Sun Shangxiang's marriage, it must be through Wu Guotai. The relationship between his daughter and biological mother is relatively close. If he conquered Wu Guotai and spoke, can Sun Shangxiang still refuse? You must know that Sun Shangxiang is both a big girl, and others have several children at her age.

"Zibu, can you tell me what you want to do?" Sun Ce asked.

As a filial son, Sun Ce did not want to be complained by Wu Guotai. Sun Ce also knew Wu Guotai's personality. Although he looked weak, he actually had no difference from Sun Shangxiang when he exploded. When Wu Guotai was too young, he relied on this little to attract Sun Jian firmly.

So Sun Shangxiang will become an alternative woman, and it can be said that her mother has a lot to do with her.

Zhang Zhao bowed and said, "I need a portrait of Liu Xuan. The more you look like a person, the better!"

There is no problem with this portrait, Sun Ce has a portrait. Almost most important figures in the Shenwu court, Sun Ce has portraits here to facilitate the use of his generals against the enemy. Sun Ce spent a lot of manpower and material resources to obtain it. Otherwise, the two armies would not be able to judge who the other party was by relying solely on the banner.

Sun Ce handed a portrait of Liu Xuan to Zhang Zhao. Zhang Zhao opened it gently. After looking carefully, the smile on his face became even stronger.

After putting away the portrait, Zhang Zhao said, "Lord, my plan is like this. The flowers in my back garden are blooming today, which is rare in this season. I discussed with Zi Gang and invited Guo Tai to come to my home to enjoy the flowers. During this period, I will work with a few people to recommend a few young talents to Wu Guo Tai on the grounds of caring about Miss Sun's marriage."

Zhang Zhao won’t say much about the specific content.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu also understood. Zhang Zhao wanted to push Liu Xuan to Wu Guotai. In this case, Zhang Zhao and the others could have a way to convince Wu Guotai.

After hearing Zhang Zhao's words, Sun Ce finally said with a hint of murderous aura: "If your mother is not satisfied, don't force it! Remember to not make your mother angry. Otherwise, I will not spare you!"

Zhang Zhao hurriedly responded, and he knew in his heart that if he made Wu Guo too unhappy in the end, Sun Ce would really punish him. Zhang Zhao's body was not good at all, and if Sun Ce was tortured, his life would be over.

After Zhang Zhao left, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu looked at each other helplessly. Some things were opened and there was no turning back! Even if Sun Ce and Zhou Yu didn't want to marry each other, they wouldn't be able to get married. Because Zhang Zhao's arrival means that many people in Eastern Wu hoped to get married successfully. Sun Ce was the lord of Eastern Wu, and he had to take care of it.

"Bo Fu, after this matter, we need to clean up internally." Zhou Yu expressed some meaning implicitly.

Sun Ce nodded calmly, he knew what Zhou Yu meant.

With Sun Ce's permission and getting the portrait of Liu Xuan, Zhang Zhao immediately returned to his mansion, and Zhang Hong had been waiting there for a long time.

"Zibu, what's wrong?" Zhang Hong asked hurriedly.

Zhang Zhao smiled and took out a portrait and handed it to Zhang Hong. Zhang Hong opened it and saw a portrait of a handsome and heroic young man appear in front of him.

"Is this the current crown prince Liu Xuan? It's really as plump as jade, and the jade tree is in the wind." Zhang Hong couldn't help but exclaim.

If possible, Zhang Hong would like to give his granddaughter to Liu Xuan. Not to mention how great it is to be a relative of the prince. With such a grandson-in-law who can feel comfortable looking, she will feel much better on weekdays.

Not only Zhang Hong thinks so, but his good friend Zhang Zhao also thinks so. However, this idea can only be left to talk about in the future.

When Zhang Zhao heard Zhang Hong's praise, he was even more sure that the plan would be successful, so he said, "Zi Gang, you and I will start the plan immediately."

Do it as soon as you say! Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong acted separately.

Zhang Zhao was responsible for going to invite Wu Guotai, while Zhang Hong invited friends who were close to him to help. Of course, there were many female relatives present. Without female relatives, Wu Guotai would definitely not come if she faced so many men. Moreover, Zhang Hong would also be blamed by Wu Guotai.

Wu Guotai lived with Sun Ce before. But after Sun Ce was unconscious, Wu Guotai was very sad. In order not to let Wu Guotai feel in love with the scenery, Da Qiao took the initiative to move Wu Guotai to a quiet small garden, and moved it back after Sun Ce woke up.

Look, Wu Guotai happily prepared to return to Wu Gong Mansion with Sun Shangxiang today.

Although Sun Shangxiang is irritable, she is a filial girl.

Wu Guotai also loved Sun Shangxiang very much. After all, he was the same as Sun Shangxiang when he was young. However, Wu Guotai was even more worried about Sun Shangxiang's lifelong affairs. He was a big girl, and he didn't even have a matchmaker to come to him. Wu Guotai didn't say it on the surface, but he was very anxious inside. However, Wu Guotai was also very open-minded, as long as Sun Shangxiang lived happily.

"Madam Qi, Zhang Zibu is asking for a meeting." A servant came to the Wu State Tai and Sun Shangxiang and said respectfully.

Wu Guotai said in confusion: "That old man Zhang Zhao came over to ask for a meeting? What's going to happen?"

Wu Guotai was in Eastern Wu and enjoyed peace of mind without any matters. He was very surprised by Zhang Zhao's sudden request for a meeting.

Sun Shangxiang said from the side: "Mother, Lord Zhang is rare to ask for a visit. There must be something important. Isn't it clear if my mother asks him to come in and ask?"

In front of Wu Guotai, Sun Shangxiang was very well-behaved, completely different from usual.

"You're just talking too much! I'll listen to you this time!" Wu Guotai cursed with a smile, and then said to his servant: "Let him come in."

The servant respectfully withdrew and sent the order.

Soon, Zhang Zhao, dressed in Confucian uniform, respectfully came to the front of Wu Guotai and Sun Shangxiang and said, "I am not good at seeing Guotai, Miss."

In fact, Zhang Zhao didn't know that Sun Shangxiang would be with Wu Guotai, but it would be better for Sun Shangxiang to go with Wu Guotai. In this way, he could directly use Wu Guotai to put pressure on Sun Shangxiang.

"Zibu, why are you so difficult to meet me today? Don't you have to deal with state affairs?" Wu Guotai asked very dignifiedly.

Although Wu Guotai gave birth to two children, she was actually a little older. However, due to her pampering and proper maintenance, her whole body exudes the charm of a mature woman. Although Wu Guotai doesn't care about the matter, she still has some understanding of the current situation. As a woman, what can she change? It's up to Sun Ce and Zhou Yu to do it.

Zhang Zhao raised his head and smiled and said to Wu Guotai: "Governor, today the back garden of my husband's home is full of flowers. This scene is rare. I and a few friends' female relatives are preparing to invite Guotai to gather together to enjoy the beautiful scenery. I wonder if Guotai has free time?"

"Oh? It's really rare to see flowers blooming in this season. But I'm going to go back to the Duke's Mansion now." Wu Guo was too nervous, so he thought about going back first.

Zhang Zhao became anxious when he heard this and said, "The country is too anxious to return to the Duke Mansion, but he is concerned about the lord. I have asked to meet the lord before. The lord thinks the beautiful scenery is rare, and I hope the country is too relaxed and quick."

When Wu Guotai heard this, he quickly understood that Sun Ce also wanted her to go. When Sun Ce woke up, he was busy with government affairs and did not come to pay his respects. Wu Guotai could understand. Now Sun Ce hopes that Wu Guotai will go, so Wu Guotai knew that Sun Ce's situation was quite good.

Wu Guotai would not refuse the child's filial piety. After all, during this period, Wu Guotai was a little annoyed, so he said, "Since Bo Fu said that, then I will go and have a look. Shangxiang, go with Wei Niang."

"Okay! Mother!" Sun Shangxiang really wanted to say something that she couldn't go, she didn't like flowers, plants, etc. However, Sun Shangxiang rarely came to accompany Wu Guotai at once, and did not refuse Wu Guotai.

"Master Guo, Miss, please!" Zhang Zhao smiled. The good start was half the success.

So, under the leadership of Zhang Zhao, Wu Guotai and Sun Shangxiang went to Zhang Zhao's mansion, preparing to take a good look at the scene of flowers competing for beauty in Zhang Zhao's mouth.

Sun Shangxiang didn't know that today Zhang Zhao and others were just calculating Wu Guotai and her.

Anyway, today is destined to be an unforgettable day for Sun Shangxiang.
