Lu Xun, with the air of a young official, respectfully thanked Sun Quan for the opportunity.
There are also some familiar faces to Zhou Yu among them - if we had to find one thing in common among them, it would be that most of them had attended the banquet that made Zhou Yu very drunk.
At this time, Zhou Yu was actually at his wits end.
He just stared blankly at Sun Quan who was standing in the distance, and the look Sun Quan cast on him had already explained everything - he... Zhou Yu... who was under one person in Jiangdong and above ten thousand people, had lost the great governor
Sun Quan’s trust.
Regardless of how powerful preconceptions are, Zhou Yu's defeat actually means that absolute rationality was defeated by family affection and other emotions that are thicker than water.
"Bo Yan! You are here too!"
Until now, Liu Bei has not actually figured out the reason for this unanimous targeting of Zhou Yu. To be honest, if Zhou Yu knew that Liu Bei's well-timed targeting was just for sabotage, I'm afraid he would be really angry.
Vomiting blood.
Lu Xun saw Liu Bei greeting him, but he didn't show any sign.
Now is the moment when he must appear - the reason why he is willing to help Yi Xiaotian from beginning to end is to get such a precious opportunity when Zhou Yu is facing pressure from many parties.
Yes, he indeed had no grudges against Zhou Yu, it was just the grudges from the previous generation that were rumored by outsiders.
As an independent and complete person, Lu Xun has his own ideas and will not be bound by traditional opinions. He is fighting for a future that he recognizes. Everything prevents him from having unnecessary emotions just because of the grievances of the previous generation.
.
Even Zhou Yu's behavior of vaguely suppressing himself can be interpreted as Zhou Yu exercising himself.
But——Lu Xun couldn’t wait any longer.
Judging from the results, Zhou Yu is the biggest obstacle to his rise.
Just imagine, no matter who the young talents in Jiangdong are, once they are recognized by Sun Quan, which one will not rise to the top of the court like a rocket?
However, Lu Xun was the only one whose reputation was growing day by day, and Sun Quan's trust in him was truly high. However, his official position was not promoted but demoted. He was only transferred from the general's palace to handle some complicated and trivial matters. Lu Xun could wait.
But as the head of the Lu family, he couldn't wait.
Everything is just as Yi Xiaotian said to Lu Xun, this opportunity, whether he is watching from the sidelines or standing on the opposite side, is born out of the general trend - one person's appearance and exit are no longer enough to affect the general trend.
towards.
In other words - the story started by Yi Xiaotian himself has completely become a raging torrent that can affect the future pattern of Jiangdong. To a certain extent, it is forcing Lu Xun to make a choice.
The only difference may be that if he couldn't help himself on weekdays, Lu Xun might only harbor resentment in his heart, but this time, Lu Xun, who was forced to make a choice, took a step that he would definitely take sooner or later.
"The general trend...what..."
Lu Xun suddenly looked up and found that all the eyes in the room had been focused on him.
The approval of Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao in the distance, the trust of Sun Shangxiang behind him, the fear and resentment of Zhou Yu on the side, the unsteady confusion of Sun Quan, and the vague appreciation of Liu Bei——
"In the end, I still became a small chess piece... But as you said, sir... this is the identity that suits me best now."
Lu Xun laughed, Zhou Yu was afraid, and Sun Quan was shocked.
"My lord, maybe you are still wondering why the Grand Governor came so late today - the Princess said that the Grand Governor was trying to clear away his suspicions. I don't dare to agree."
"Um?"
Suddenly, Zhou Yu, who was already scratching his head anxiously, suddenly woke up from his trance and realized that Lu Xun was actually speaking for him. This moment of touching made Zhou Yu's eyes widen.
"Is he planning to stand on my side..."
Zhou Tai basically lost his confidence and squatted aside, alone, but Pan Zhang was still awake. When he heard that Lu Xun was speaking for Zhou Yu, he couldn't help but clenched his fists, and the excitement on his face was even more intense. Hard to hide.
"I...I knew you boy, Boyan...you were on our side!"
He roared excitedly!
Naturally, it also caused another uproar in the venue.
Don't worry about the civil and military officials behind Sun Quan. Until now, they don't have an accurate idea. Naturally, there is no such thing as taking sides.
Liu Bei was surprised, as well as the people outside the venue who thought Zhou Yu would fall from the altar.
"What happened?"
"Master Lu, do you want to speak for the Governor? You shouldn't... Judging from the situation, the matter of the Governor's mischief behind his back has been confirmed. This..."
——
Zhou Yu suddenly gained inexplicable self-confidence. At this time, when he was at the end of his rope, no matter who offered a helping hand, he would grab it without hesitation. In fact... to this point, it already meant that Zhou Yu had lost his daily support. The reason and confidence to survive are lost.
Placing your hopes on others, without saying whether it is right or wrong, is a taboo for Zhou Yu.
If...if he could notice that after Lu Xun spoke, neither the big or small Qiao nor Sun Shangxiang, nor even the expression on Wu Guotai's face changed at all, he should wake up from the dream - from the beginning to the end, his situation Nothing has changed.
And the reason why Lu Xun said this was actually just to give himself a heavier blow.
"I'm sorry...I dare not agree..."
Lu Xun was neither humble nor arrogant, and explained what he was thinking:
"Because the Grand Governor that night was actually discussing very important matters with us."
"Ah? What is something very important?"
Zhou Yu was confused again. He was slow to react. Now he had no premonition of the coming threat. He just accepted the situation like a fish that was fished out... Lu Xun was the butcher who could control the power of life and death at will.
"You may not know, but I think there are many people who have experienced that night personally, and can naturally testify for me - the reason why the Governor failed to come to Jianye early was actually because he had already attended the banquet that night. He explained all the arrangements."
"Yes... the Governor has made a very sophisticated plan. He wants all of us to act in a play... in order to eventually create such a dramatic scene. If only Miss Da Qiao and others were to act, this time The plan is still not safe, but if at this critical moment, we can come forward to testify and prove the innocence of the Governor, all problems will be solved, and the princess will bear all the infamy. This is actually a big problem for the Governor. It's a good thing to kill two birds with one stone - after all, not only can he marry off the annoying Da Qiao girl, but he can also punish the princess who disobeys his plan, so why not."
They talked about defending, but no one thought that Lu Xun's confession actually beat Zhou Yu to death.
Zhou Yu was shocked by this change, and even before he could organize words to counterattack, Lu Xun made his ultimate move.
"So, don't be secretive. Everyone should still have the proof of that day and night, right?"
Lu Xun smiled, and under everyone's gaze, he slowly took out a document from his arms——
At the same time, among the crowd, behind Lu Xun, a considerable number of people took out the same piece of paper——
