"Zhong Mou, let's talk about the conclusion first..."
As soon as Zhou Yu spoke, Sun Quan's whole body tensed up. With Zhou Yu's calm expression at this moment, it was the first time in so many years that he felt the pressure from this "beloved relative" beside him.
Lu Su, Pan Zhang, and Zhou Tai were already immersed in what Zhou Yu had just said to them, and had no time to care about Sun Quan, let alone Wei Sun Quan's excuse.
Sun Quan was now alone, facing the pressure from Zhou Yu. It only took him a moment, but he was already sweating profusely.
"You are not as good as Liu Bei, in every aspect. Your only advantage over him is that you have many more resources than Liu Bei to start a business, but that is already in the past."
Perhaps these words were too shocking. Even Lu Su had never thought that Zhou Yu would make such an unreserved conclusion at this time.
Although... although in his heart, Lu Su probably knew this, but if he said it so bluntly, no one could guarantee that Sun Quan would not have an extreme reaction, just like he did just now...
Lu Su was already giving Zhou Yu hints, but he hesitated to speak... His eyes kept reminding Zhou Yu - but Zhou Yu was completely oblivious.
"Just because Liu Bei dared to come to Jiangdong alone after having such a fortune, and no matter what the process was, the result was that we lost completely, Liu Bei has surpassed Zhongmou by a lot.
Even this gap will continue to widen, because for a long time in the future, you will no longer be able to sit on an equal footing with Liu Bei. You need to face the chaos in the DPRK first, and after going through many hardships and finally regaining your original status,
Only then can we stand on the stage and confront Liu Bei again - but by then... I don’t know how long it has been.”
"Zhongmou, do you know what Liu Bei's greatest strength is? I know you want to tell me about Liu Bei's shortcomings one by one, but... despite having so many shortcomings, he can still reach his current status step by step.
Don’t you want to know what he relies on?”
Being bombarded by Zhou Yu's questions one after another, the initial impact of Zhou Yu's conclusion was no longer the center of Sun Quan's attention.
Either that or those veterans who have been in the officialdom for many years are masters of speaking and can speak - sometimes the way they speak can even affect the thoughts of others.
However, multiple forces from the DPRK and China joined forces with Yi Xiaotian to disrupt the situation, and Zhou Yu was finally killed. He was the only person in the original Sun Quan camp who posed a huge threat to Zhang Zhao and the others.
The funny thing is that Sun Quan didn't see clearly, and Zhou Yu had to teach him everything in person, but whatever... Zhou Yu had made up his mind, and he must reveal all his plans today, even if... even if he risked his life
.
"It's...what..."
It could be seen that Sun Quan was holding back all kinds of unspeakable impulses and said this through gritted teeth.
"The human heart, Zhongmou... is the human heart..."
Zhou Yu sighed.
In one sentence, he seemed to have reviewed his entire life——
The words "people's hearts" are not only spoken to Sun Quan, but also to himself.
Zhou Yu no longer has the thought, let alone the experience, to review the overall situation - but he knows more or less...the reason why he has fallen to this point is just because of some small mistakes.
However, these small mistakes were constantly torn apart by others, and were even found out by terrible enemies like Yi Xiaotian, and eventually became the talisman to his defeat.
How could he not have thought that if he could always be kind to Xiao Qiao...if he could think more about Sun Shangxiang...if he didn't suppress Lu Xun...if he...
In fact, there is no such thing as if.
The deal is done and the facts cannot be changed.
It was too late for him to regret, because now he was probably not far away from that time limit.
What he can do is take this opportunity to tell Sun Quan everything he understands, telling him that he is reluctant but is the only hope.
Sometimes life is like this - if possible, he even hopes that he may be born in Jizhou... If possible, he hopes that he can live in the Western Regions - life is like this, those who endure hardships and overcome difficulties are the real strong ones.
Unfortunately, his journey has to come to an end.
Do you think he really has no regrets?
That must be impossible.
But... maybe it was precisely because of Yi Xiaotian's existence that he was finally relieved after losing to Yi Xiaotian this time.
"Zhongmou...the second way...to help Lu Xun, to seek Lu Xun's help, to rise again...the most important thing...is to regain people's hearts."
"Only those who win people's hearts can win the world - Liu Bei is hypocritical and fickle, but he can wear that hypocritical mask all his life. Once someone can be a hypocrite his whole life, then... he is a true gentleman."
"The important thing is not the process here, but the final result you get."
"Zhongmou!"
The more Zhou Yu talked, the more excited he became. He didn't know where the energy came from, which made him sit up straight on the bed. He grabbed Sun Quan's shoulders, as if to confirm that Sun Quan had really listened.
Sun Quan, who was so frightened, wanted to retreat, but found that Zhou Yu's hands holding him were as motionless as iron gates.
The look in the eyes of the person in front of him was too scary... He was worried that the next moment, Zhou Yu would tell some truth that was even more difficult for him to accept, so he closed his eyes in fear.
only…
Zhou Yu spoke.
He opened his mouth and asked a very ordinary question - because the ordinary could not be more ordinary, Sun Quan just answered as usual, not realizing what the frightened look in Lu Su's eyes beside him meant.
"Zhongmou!"
"My father... I entrust it to you..."
"Well... Gong Jin... I forgot to tell you that when you were in a coma, your father... couldn't hold his breath and left yesterday..."
"But don't worry, I will definitely help you deal with your father's funeral... Well... I basically understand what you said... But you haven't figured out how to do it yet..."
——
Time seems to have stood still.
Sun Quan felt a little strange.
Why did Zhou Yu, who was so good, lie back on the bed calmly? Was he sleepy?
Why does Lu Su look so ferocious?
Why were Zhou Tai and Pan Zhang so frightened?
Except for the sound of breathing in the room... no, in fact, even the sound of breathing disappeared now.
Sun Quan seemed to realize something.
His expression turned from surprise, to trance, to shock, and finally to panic.
"Gongjin...Gongjin, don't scare me...Gongjin, wake up...I...you haven't answered my question yet...you...you...you're scaring me again, right? Ah? Right, hahaha?"
However…
No one responded to Sun Quan anymore.
Zhou Yu, a legendary figure from the Jiangdong generation...died on his bed today.
