Chapter 71: Subduing Cao Cao(1/3)
The atmosphere in the hall was a bit cold.
First, there was a quarrel between civil and military officials and recruitment, and later they wanted to send hostages to Cao Cao, and then they redeem Lu Su now...
Three things made Sun Quan's scalp numb and others were not in a good mood.
Sun Quan knew that there was no need to continue today's discussion, so he waved his hand and said, "Everyone will disperse first, and we will discuss it in three days!"
After saying that, he got up and walked towards the backyard.
In the yard, Ling Tong was practicing martial arts.
The spear was swinging, and it was wonderful.
Sun Quan stood by and watched, and the more he looked, the more satisfied he became.
My originally bored mood has improved a lot.
After half an incense stick.
Ling Tong stopped and was about to wipe his sweat when he saw Sun Quan beside him. He hurriedly put down his weapons and came to salute, but was stopped by Sun Quan.
"There is no need for politeness to public achievements."
"I just saw the martial arts of public performances and martial arts, and I really had the style of a general. Unfortunately, I could only stay by my side. I felt really wronged."
Sun Quan patted Ling Tong on the shoulder and said.
"The lord is joking. If you can protect him, Tong Sansheng is lucky! Where did the grievance come from?" Ling Tong smiled.
"Hahaha, Cao Cao has Xu Chu, Liu Bei has Zhao Yun, and I have public records too." Ling Tong was in a good mood. He took Ling Tong's arm and walked inside, "Go and have a drink with me."
"No!" Ling Tong also knew that Sun Quan was in a bad mood, so he did not refuse.
Just after drinking half a pot of Erguotou, Sun Quan was feeling the good wine, a fiery red figure rushed in from outside the door.
"Second brother, rumor is that you are going to send me to Cao's camp and be a mate with Cao Cao?"
Sun Shangxiang stood at the door, looking directly at Sun Quan with her phoenix eyes.
Sun Quan felt a thrill in his heart.
The news spread too quickly.
Someone must have missed the news among the ministers who had just discussed the matter.
Immediately, he smiled and stood up and said, "Little sister, you are too worried. Who said you want to send you to Cao's camp?"
Said.
He took the initiative to pour a bowl of wine and handed it to Sun Shangxiang.
"Little sister, have you always liked drinking? Come on, this is my treasured Erguotou, you can try it."
Sun Shangxiang pushed the big bowl away and looked straight at Sun Quan.
"don't want!"
"Second brother, do you answer me, right or not?"
Sun Shangxiang questioned.
Sun Quan had no choice but to nod, and was about to explain, but saw Sun Shangxiang looking at him in disbelief.
"Since my eldest brother's death, I have been relying on my second brother and mother for my life. I once thought that even if my second brother is doing his best for Jiangdong, he will not hurt my sister at all."
"But I didn't expect that my second brother would treat me like this."
As he said that, Sun Shangxiang's eyes turned red.
Of course this is not crying, but anger.
When Sun Quan saw it, he was stunned.
This was the first time he saw Sun Shangxiang look so angry.
"Little sister, please listen to my explanation."
"No need, second brother, as the lord of Jiangdong, what do you want to do, why do you need to explain to me?" Sun Shangxiang glared at Sun Quan in anger, threw the long whip in his hand to the ground, and turned around and was about to leave.
"stop!"
Next to him, Ling Tong stopped Sun Shangxiang and said anxiously, "Miss, you misunderstood your lord. At that time, it was Zhang Zhao and other old ministers who wanted to send you to Cao's camp. It was the lord who tried his best to oppose it, which made the matter fall into nothing."
Ling Tong briefly explained the situation at that time.
Only then did Sun Shangxiang retract her mind and look at Sun Quan: "Really?"
"Of course it's true!" Sun Quan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "I watched you grow up since I was a child. When did I deceive you?"
"Then why don't you deny this matter? You have to wait three days before discussing?" Sun Shangxiang picked up the long whip and asked with his head up.
"Little sister, Jiangdong is not the one that the eldest brother is in." Sun Quan frowned and explained patiently, "Although I am a Marquis of Wu, I have to consider the opinions of my civil and military officials, otherwise how can I convince the public?"
"And Zhang Zhao is my teacher. If there is no proper reason, how can I directly reject this matter!"
"Oh, it would be great if the elder brother was here. With his elder brother's majesty, who dares to refute Jiangdong?"
Sun Quan sighed and said.
Only by sitting in this position can you feel the pressure and risks.
"I misunderstood my second brother."
Sun Shangxiang looked at Sun Quan apologetically.
"It's okay!" Sun Quan waved his hand, and after his expression moved, a strange look flashed in his blue eyes and said to Sun Shangxiang, "Little sister, you can clean up tonight and return to Wujun. Now the only one who can stop this is Mother."
"With a mother here, even if it's a teacher, I can't do anything to you."
Sun Shangxiang shook her head.
He walked over, picked up the big bowl in Sun Quan's hand, and drank the Erguotou in it in one go.
A rosy look immediately appeared on his pretty white face.
"Good wine!"
"Second brother, I heard that Erguotou is divided into three grades: A, B, and C. I wonder what kind of Erguotou the bowl of wine in my second brother's hand is?"
Sun Shangxiang asked with an empty bowl.
"It's just a class B. I have some Erguotou in Class A, but I only take it out and drink it at important banquets. If my little sister likes it, I'll give you a few jars."
Sun Quan said.
"No."
Sun Shangxiang waved his hand and suddenly showed a playful smile, "Second brother, it is rumored that Xuchang is the center of the world, otherwise it would be impossible to brew such a fine wine as Erguotou."
"And I also heard that Erguotou is above the A-level class, and is divided into three grades: upper, middle and lower."
"I want to go to Xuchang and try the best Erguotou in person."
Sun Shangxiang said.
"Little sister, you..." Sun Quan moved and looked at Sun Shangxiang in amazement.
"Miss, you can't go to Xuchang. There are many crises there. You may never come back when you go here." Ling Tong advised nervously.
"You don't need to say anything, I'm determined." Sun Shangxiang smiled, grabbed the long whip in his hand, and turned around and left.
Sun Quan opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything after all.
When he reached the door, Sun Shangxiang did not turn back, but gently opened his red lips: "Second brother, if I could still come back from Xuchang, would you be the female general?"
"As long as you can come back, let alone the female general, your second brother will agree to you whatever you want." Sun Quan said immediately.
"Hehe, thank you for your second brother."
Sun Shangxiang nodded.
Leave quickly.
A leisurely voice came from afar: "Second brother, I'm not stupid. What do you mean? Tell me sincerely. I will listen. Next time... don't lie to my sister like this again."
The voice disappeared, and Sun Shangxiang's figure also disappeared in front of him.
Sun Quan stayed in place in a daze, feeling mixed for a moment, feeling a little happy, and seemed infinitely disappointed.
That's right, everything he did just now was actually hoping that Sun Shangxiang would take the initiative to propose going to Xuchang.
Only in this way can he not bear the infatuation of forcing his sister to join Cao's camp, but also achieve Cao Cao's conditions.
All I can say is.
This little girl is indeed very smart.
He asked himself that he performed very well, but unexpectedly, he was guessed by his younger sister after all.
At this moment, Sun Quan began to think of a sentence in his mind.
Who says women are inferior to men?
"Oh...Little sister, it's the second brother who gave you a loss!"
To be continued...
