Sun Ce heard Zhou Yu's generous answer, looked at Zhou Yu's nonchalant expression, and winked at Zhou Tai.
Zhou Tai understood immediately, walked to Zhou Yu's side, still respectful, clasped his fists and said: "Commander, the assassination mission failed. King Yan Gaofei knew all this in advance and was prepared..."
Zhou Yu nodded and said lightly: "I already know. Now the whole city is searching for assassins, which has caused a storm in the city. Moreover, Wanxiang Tower was also engulfed in fire. King Yan Gaofei has already moved into the county government office with the king.
The other courtyard will be guarded by Han."
Zhou Taidao: "Military advisor, I don't understand why Gao Fei knows about what we discussed? Only our Ce Yu Army knows about this matter, and no one else knows about it. Unless someone leaks the secret, otherwise, the matter will not come to this."
At this point, does the military advisor know who the person who leaked the secret is?"
Zhou Yu shook his head and said: "Ce Yu's army is all brothers of life and death who care about each other with sincerity. There is no possibility of leaking secrets. You don't have to guess, because no one leaks secrets at all..."
"Really?" Sun Ce sat by the bed and sneered, his words mixed with a little sarcasm, "Then tell me, why did Gao Fei know about this? Even Zhou Taiqian knew it clearly when he went to commit the assassination.
How can I say this?"
Seeing that Sun Ce had doubts about him, Zhou Yu smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Brother Bofu didn't believe me either?"
"It's not that I don't believe you, but there are too many doubts about this matter. I remember that I did not give the order for Zhou Tai to assassinate Gao Fei. When I was still hesitating, it was you who asked Zhou Tai to assassinate Gao Fei.
Yes, the cause and effect of this matter are inseparable from you. Gongjin, don’t you still know how I have treated you in the past few years when we are brothers? Is it possible that the friendship between us brothers is not worth it?
Did Gao Fei ever save your life?" Sun Ce stood up, walked straight to Zhou Yu, stretched out his hands and put them on Zhou Yu's shoulders, and said solemnly.
Zhou Yu burst out laughing when he saw Sun Ce's hot and doubtful eyes and Zhou Tai's slightly hostile eyes next to him.
"Commander, why are you laughing?" Zhou Tai asked, not understanding why Zhou Yu was laughing.
Zhou Yu pushed Sun Ce's hand away, took two steps back, bowed respectfully to Sun Ce, and said loudly: "Young Master! Gong Jin once again implores the Young Master to advise the king that Gao Fei must be eliminated. That's it.
Judging from what happened tonight, Gao Fei is not as simple as I thought, and he should be killed immediately to prevent him from instigating any more trouble in the territory of Wu."
"Gong Jin, what is the purpose of doing this? Is it because your identity has been exposed and you want to express your determination to me?" Sun Ce crossed his arms and said coldly with sharp eyes.
Zhou Yu also sneered and said: "Since the young master no longer trusts me, what's the point of me continuing to talk. I, Zhou Yu, have a clear conscience towards the young master, and I have a clear conscience."
"You really don't want to explain? Zhou Tai heard the conversation between Gao Fei and Gan Ning with his own ears. Would you like Zhou Tai to tell you the conversation he heard word for word to see if I have wronged you?
"
"No need. Young Master no longer trusts me. Why should I explain any more? My life is in Young Master's hands. You can kill or behead me. Young Master, please feel free to do so. I will never complain at all."
Sun Ce frowned. After hearing Zhou Yu's words, he asked: "You really don't want to explain? Even if it's just one word..."
"Those who are clean will be clean by themselves, no need to say more." Zhou Yu gently closed his eyes, raised his head, and pretended to die.
"Zhou Tai!" After seeing this, Sun Ce was in a state of confusion. He couldn't just kill Zhou Yu, but he couldn't figure out whether Zhou Yu was wrongly accused, so he shouted.
"The general is here, what are your orders, young master?" Zhou Tai asked, cupping his fists.
"Temporarily imprison Zhou Gongjin. No one is allowed to approach him without my order," Sun Ce said.
"No!" As soon as Zhou Tai finished speaking, he pushed Zhou Yu forward. As soon as he reached the door, he saw a strong and handsome young man walking outside, wearing a turban and a robe.
The ride is extremely elegant.
The young man was about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a white face and a broad forehead. When he saw Zhou Tai and Zhou Yu leaving Sun Ce's room, he smiled and asked: "Commander, General Zhou, where are you going?"
Zhou Yu and Zhou Tai were naturally familiar with the person in front of them. When they saw this person suddenly appearing here, they both felt a little surprised.
Zhou Yu smiled at the young man who was a few years older than him, raised his hands and said, "Brother Zijing came here late at night. Could it be that he has something important to see the young master?"
"Gong Jin, after such a big thing happened in the city, do you still have the intention to have fun here? I just came from Shouchun, and I didn't expect to see the Wanxiang Building on fire as soon as I entered the city. Assassins are being arrested everywhere in the city. What on earth is going on?
What's going on? Who wants to assassinate King Yan? Isn't this adding chaos to the King?"
Zhou Tai frowned and said slowly: "Well... Mr. Lu, actually... I was the one who assassinated King Yan..."
The young man's surname was Lu and his given name was Zijing. Although he was only eighteen years old, he was a very important person in Ce Yu's army. Two years ago, in Sun Ce, Zhou Yu led Ce Yu's army to attack Jiujiang County and fell into a situation of no food.
At that time, it was he who took the initiative to send food and grass to Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, which ensured the logistics of Ce Yu's army. Three days later, Shouchun's army launched a night attack and captured the strong city of Shouchun in one fell swoop.
Later, he took the initiative to join Sun Ce and became a counselor of Ce Yu's army. Half a year later, Sun Jian ordered the repair of Shouchun City because Shouchun City was in ruins, and Lu Su took the initiative to fund it. So Sun Jian asked Lu Su to supervise the construction of Shouchun City.
Chun Xincheng, and officially appointed him as the prefect of Jiujiang. However, he did not leave Ce Yu's army, and kept communicating with Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and others. As a young talent in the Wu state, his political achievements were also very outstanding, and he built
After Shouchun was over, farming was carried out in the Huainan area, which gradually restored the dilapidated Jiujiang County to its former vitality and won a lot of glory for Ce Yujun, a new body of the Wu Kingdom.
His father died when Lu Su was born, and he lived with his grandmother. Lu Su's family was extremely wealthy, but because none of his ancestors had served as officials, although Lu Su's family was wealthy, it did not belong to the gentry class, but was just the kind of people who lived in the local area.
He was a powerful and powerful family in the world. He was tall and handsome, and had great ambitions when he was young. He was fond of surprising tricks, and loved fencing, riding, and shooting. In addition, he had a good temperament and was good at giving to others. Since his family was wealthy, he often gathered young people to give lectures on military training together.
Wu. On sunny days, people went to Nanshan (now the ancient name of Xuyi Mountain in Jiangsu Province) to shoot hunting. On cloudy and rainy days, they gathered people to teach the art of war and practice martial arts.
The reason why Ce Yu's army has such good equipment is inseparable from Lu Su's free funding. Therefore, to the soldiers of Ce Yu's army, Lu Su is the God of Wealth. In Ce Yu's army, there has been a saying like this
In one sentence, "when Zijing comes, gold comes", making him the soul of Ce Yu's army.
Ce Yu Army was established by Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, but in a sense, Lu Su was the largest shareholder of Ce Yu Army. However, Lu Su did not ask for anything else but to give without asking for anything in return, so Sun Ce,
Zhou Yu and all the officers and soldiers of Ce Yu's army trusted him very much.
After hearing Zhou Tai's words, Lu Su frowned immediately and said calmly: "General Zhou is really fooling around. Do you know the consequences of assassinating King Yan? Is this the young master's intention?"
"No, that's what I meant." Zhou Yu said.
"Gong Jin, how could it be you? Don't you know the consequences of doing this?" Lu Su is slightly three years older than Zhou Yu. The two are usually brothers, and Lu Su does have the air of an elder. Between Zhou Yu and Sun Ce
In front of others, he is often called brother.
"I know all the consequences, but if we don't do this, Wu will not be able to quickly conquer the world, and Gao Fei will become a major scourge for Wu in the future. He must be eliminated first." Zhou Yu retorted.
Lu Su is generous and honest, and he is very honest to others. He is also a foresighted person. He must consider everything before doing anything. He is a very cautious person. He is very cautious about Zhou Yu.
Radical did not agree with the approach. After hearing Zhou Yu's rebuttal, he grabbed Zhou Yu's hand and walked straight into Sun Ce's room.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw Sun Ce's face full of sadness, and he hurriedly asked: "Young master, his face is ugly and his brows are furrowed. Is there something wrong?"
When Sun Ce saw Lu Su coming, a smile appeared on his lips. For him, Lu Su was the God of Wealth. In addition, Lu Su was a loyal man, so he trusted Lu Su very much. He immediately said: "Brother Zijing, what are you doing?"
Are you here? Sit down quickly!"
Lu Su did not take his seat, but let go of Zhou Yu's hand, then clasped his fist at Sun Ce and said, "Young Master, what happened to the assassination of King Yan?"
"Nothing, just a small thing..."
Lu Su's eyes were very sharp, and he noticed that the atmosphere was a bit abnormal as soon as he entered the door. There seemed to be a gap between Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, and they were no longer as easy-going as before. Hearing that Sun Ce was unwilling to talk, he didn't ask any more questions.
He asked about the matter between Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, and asked: "Is there anything unpleasant between the young master and the military advisor? Tell me about it, maybe I can relieve the knot in your heart."
This was not the first time that this happened to Sun Ce and Zhou Yu. They had happened once before because they had disagreements about sending troops to attack a certain county. At that time, the two of them were so quarreling that no one could persuade them to stop. After Lu Su heard about it, he went straight to
After leaving the camp, they held a banquet and invited the two of them to drink. With only a few words of understatement, the disagreement between Sun Ce and Zhou Yu was resolved.
At this time, Lu Su was in front of him. Sun Ce also wanted to ask Lu Su some questions, so he asked: "Brother Zijing, if Zhou Gongjin is a spy sent by King Yan to lurk around me, what will you do?"
