"Capital...Captain! You...are you kidding me? Haha...Bo Yan...How could Boyan be a traitor?"
"Who did he... betray? Jiangdong? Did he surrender to the enemy? This... this is absolutely impossible! With... Boyan's personality..."
Pan Zhang's expression was quite ugly, while Zhou Tai was completely panicked.
Everyone present looked at Zhou Yu dumbfounded - everyone couldn't figure it out, how could Lu Xun be a traitor?
Zhou Yu endured the pain on his body and put on his clothes with ruthlessness——
Suddenly, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the horizon, which aroused everyone's surprise. Zhou Tai, who didn't understand at all, hurriedly asked:
"Captain... please... please clear up your doubts!"
He feels sorry for Lu Xun from the bottom of his heart now. It can be said that he is the one who cares most about Lu Xun's condition among the people present. Zhou Yu's "traitor" will obviously affect Zhou Tai's attitude towards Lu Xun later - even
This in turn affects his usual level of trust in people.
Of course Zhou Yu was no longer in the mood to joke. He curled his lips and said in a deep voice:
"He betrayed the Lord... He is not on our side..."
——
Yes, after hearing Lu Xun's movements from Zhou Tai's mouth, Zhou Yu connected everything that happened in the past few days in just a moment.
As expected, Lu Xun was now on the side of the aristocratic family - or to put it further, on the side of all the forces that planned to disrupt this marriage.
Among them was Lu Qinghou, who had taken Sun Shangxiang away before.
Now that Lu Qinghou is still in the dark, he is an enemy Zhou Yu has to consider.
And in the past few days, his attitude towards the aristocratic family has been ambiguous, and he has never really understood the other party's thoughts.
Looking back on yesterday's banquet, it was indeed full of doubts.
Zhang Zhao and Gu Shao committed themselves to such an improper banquet, and Lu Xun sent Lu Ji to blur his judgment, causing him to lose the premise of controlling the whole scene - everything was arranged.
He didn't know whether those people had poisoned their wine yesterday, but as long as he connected the result with the other party's position, the other party's purpose would become clear.
The other party wanted to use a banquet to confuse his judgment and hinder his meeting with Sun Quan. In the end, it was to make him delay his trip - at an important moment when something was about to happen, he had to be excluded.
And that matter, no need to think too much, it was naturally a marriage matter that Lu Xun was in a hurry, even if he lied and gave away the huge credit, he wanted to speed up the process.
Everything - instantly became clear.
Because of this, Zhou Yu realized that the current situation was more urgent than he originally expected.
"There's no time to explain...tonight! I have to get to Yecheng tonight!"
"Otherwise...they will definitely do something unimaginable when they get married!"
Zhou Yu raised his neck and shouted at Zhou Tai and Pan Zhang.
In a hurry, they finally began to follow Zhou Yu's order and quickly prepared the carriage for him.
Zhou Yu calmed down from the pain and stepped onto the carriage again. Already aware of his opponent's conspiracy, he had to race against time to get to Jianye.
But...can things really go as he wishes?
——
It's quiet at night.
No matter how prosperous Jianye City is, there will never be such noisy sounds in the middle of the night.
Except for one family——
In the Sun Mansion, even if the moon is high and it's midnight, many arrangements are still being prepared.
After all, this is a very important marriage.
Sun Quan must confirm again and again to avoid being laughed at by Liu Bei and others again when the real drama starts tomorrow.
However... Seeing that most of the people looked tired, and guessing that there was still some time before dawn, Sun Quan suddenly stopped the servants who were coming and going, and waved to them:
"Okay, it's getting late, let's go back and rest for a few hours, and then finish the final things at dawn!"
After receiving Sun Quan's instructions, everyone also cheered for a while.
After a busy day, I finally got a chance to rest, which is really rare.
As everyone returned to their residences to rest, the mansion became peaceful.
Lu Xun had just excused himself to leave, and now Sun Quan was the only one left in the hall.
Sun Quan, who had been watching no one around for a whole day, finally put down his arrogance, supported his head with one arm, and pinched his eyebrows with the other hand.
"call……"
"I don't know... I don't know if my little sister is asleep..."
He muttered to himself, and once a thought came into his mind, his legs and feet seemed to move somewhere involuntarily.
——
Is he guilty?
Sun Quan didn't know when he stood alone in front of Sun Shangxiang's boudoir.
At a loss, he looked at the lights in the house that seemed to have not been extinguished, and was filled with emotions for a moment.
Da da da--
He knocked on the door again and shook hands into fists. In his nervousness, he was even more afraid.
"Who is outside the door?"
Sun Shangxiang's voice came.
'Sure enough, I didn't sleep!'
Sun Quan was pleasantly surprised, but when he spoke, he stuttered:
"It's...it's me...little sister...you...are you okay?"
There seemed to be silence inside the door for a long time, and Sun Quan, who was waiting, was more anxious than anyone else.
"Brother...it's so late. I have nothing to do, so please come back. I still need to rest..."
"no no!"
"Yes! Something happened!" His voice gradually weakened, "Yes... something happened..."
There was another silence inside the door, and after a long time, a response came:
"Tell me what's going on..."
When Sun Quan heard this response, he closed his eyes and breathed heavily until his heart calmed down completely, and a tired smile appeared on his face.
Then, he patted the hem of his clothes, leaned back, and sat directly on the steps.
"I...I want to talk to you...about what I...think little sister these days when you are not around."
——
"After my brother passed away, you were my only sister - to be honest, although you may not believe it, but... before this happened, I firmly believed that no matter what happened, as my brother... I
…I will definitely protect you, my little sister——”
"Now that things have happened, what's the use of talking about it."
Sun Shangxiang's voice sounded a little angry.
"I know I know…"
Sun Quan quickly comforted him.
"Actually, before you heard me talking to Gongjin and the others that day, we also talked about...about marrying off my sister-in-law—"
Sun Quan suddenly mentioned this matter, and there was a sudden commotion inside the door.
However, Sun Quan didn't mind anything. He just calmly recounted some of his personal feelings.
"Gong Jin said that the best choice is to marry off my sister-in-law - you are still young and the favorite of many people..."
"But I rejected him."
"Sister-in-law...sister-in-law has not had it easy these past years."
"You know...my brother is the most important person to me in my life, besides my father. I don't want to see my brother facelessly in the underground after my long sleep. I'm so sorry for wronging you..."
"That's the same sentence... you are still young... no matter you are resentful or disappointed... we... we will always have a chance to meet again."
"I'm just afraid that if I say goodbye to my sister-in-law, I won't be able to see her again for the rest of my life - in the final analysis... in the final analysis, it's all my fault that I have fallen into this situation -"
Sun Quan suddenly smiled bitterly and said:
"Gongjin is not here today, so I won't force myself to do anything... I trust Gongjin very much, but... as a lord... I just leave everything to my subordinates... That is absolutely not enough. I want to be a hero like my father.
, I want to be a hero like my brother - therefore, I need my own achievements."
"But...well...in the end it's all my fault. It's enough for you to know this. If you want to hate...just hate me."
