There are some new faces in the courtyard of Gu's Mansion in Wu County these days.
As the master of the next generation of the family, Gu Shao naturally has to take on the responsibility of entertaining.
However...compared to the last time the opponent arrived, this time the opponent's lineup clearly gave Gu Shao a headache.
The reason is simple - who would have thought that this big shot, who had almost all the powerful people in Jiangdong in his hands, would actually have a group of beautiful women with him.
He also explained this:
"Oh, Lingqi and Yunlu are very skilled in martial arts and are our personal attendants. If you don't believe it, you can find someone to compete with them -"
"Ah...no no no...this...that's not necessary."
Gu Shao looked at the man in front of him who was called sir by everyone, and said with an embarrassed look on his face.
Hearing Gu Shao's refusal, Yi Xiaotian seemed a little disappointed.
"Then again, in fact, in the initial plan, I only planned to take Lingqi Yunlu and Wan'er with me."
"Needless to say Lingqi Yunlu, Wan'er is the head of the technical department of our Youjian Villa. With her here, this operation will be extremely smooth."
"As for..."
Yi Xiaotian didn't want to explain too much about Huang Yueying's role. At this moment, he caught a glimpse of a lively and agile figure, but he didn't show too much joy. The reason was that this lively girl was not there before.
It's within his plan.
"Well... Shang Xiang followed us quietly. This was my oversight..."
"Sir? What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly!"
"Ah...no...it's nothing. Brother Gu said that the food will be ready soon, so he asked you to go wait in the hall first."
"Well! So that's it! Then I'm not welcome!"
Hearing what Yi Xiaotian said, Sun Shangxiang showed a cheerful smile, jumped away from the yard, and ran towards the main room of the mansion.
"It seems that there are some women whom you, sir, cannot conquer?"
"What are you talking about..."
It was rare for Gu Shao to see Yi Xiaotian showing an awkward smile, and he couldn't help but joked.
"All in all, I came back this time not just for sightseeing."
"Right now, we have to get through this difficult time together before we have the opportunity to discuss other things."
Yi Xiaotian spread his hands and said to Gu Shao with such sincerity.
"Well, sir, you are right, so tonight's meeting with General Sun..."
Gu Shao seemed a little worried. After all, the relationship between the Gu family and Yi Xiaotian goes without saying, but it is difficult to say about Sun Quan - to put it bluntly, Yi Xiaotian was the one who almost caused Sun Quan to fall into the abyss after all.
Thank God that the other party agreed to this formal meeting. Don't expect Sun Quan to have a good look on his face.
"There is no need to worry. I have Boyan and the others with Sun Quan to help me. I believe that this time, everyone will put aside their past grudges and work together."
"In other words, the purpose of my coming here this time is just for this -"
"This should be the first time we meet honestly, right?"
Yi Xiaotian smiled. Although many people around him felt that his request to talk to Sun Quan was quite outrageous, but somewhere in the dark, Yi Xiaotian seemed to feel that this meeting might not be what everyone thought.
Is it as embarrassing as you think?
——
That night, just as Zhang Zhao said, the people actually didn't care who the people above them were. As long as the people who ruled them could ensure that they could barely survive, the people would not have the so-called rebellious mentality.
But Zhang Zhao certainly didn't expect that what he said would come true for him.
The fact is that after Zhang Zhao was imprisoned, Jiangdong did not seem to have changed much after welcoming the original master.
The streets are filled with vendors and pedestrians as always, and Wuhui and Wuhui are still indescribably prosperous and prosperous.
But...these are just appearances.
Lu Xun looked at the brightly lit long street and remained silent.
It wasn't until Yi Xiaotian's carriage slowly approached that he came back to his senses.
"Go and talk to the lord, Mr. Yi is here."
He said to the servant beside him, who responded and rushed into the house.
Lu Xun walked towards the carriage.
Then came the shout of the coachman reining in the horse, and the carriage stopped smoothly in front of the Lu Mansion, and those who got off the carriage were naturally Yi Xiaotian and the few women protecting him.
Yi Xiaotian brought everyone who came to Jiangdong with him this time, instead of just acting alone like last time.
Of course...and Sun Shangxiang.
"I've seen Mr. and some girls..."
"Of course...so does the princess."
Lu Xun nodded towards Yi Xiaotian, but saluted Sun Shangxiang, probably knowing that it was quite rare for Sun Shangxiang to come.
He cast an inquiring look at Yi Xiaotian, which seemed to be asking: Will there be any problems if Sun Shangxiang comes with him?
However, Yi Xiaotian's actions answered Lu Xun.
He gently put his hand on Sun Shangxiang's shoulder, causing Sun Shangxiang to get closer to him.
Sun Shangxiang didn't know what was going on, she felt her body being pulled, and was a little surprised, but she felt the warmth on her back, and her little face turned slightly red again.
Seeing this scene, Lu Xun knew that he didn't need to say anything more.
"Everyone, please come inside. My lord has been waiting for a long time."
——
Because there was no time to waste on the road, even though Sun Quan had regained the position of Lord of Jiangdong, he could not return to Jianye.
Now he regarded the Lu Mansion as a temporary general's residence. In the past two days, he started to accept Zhang Zhao's old troops and coordinate the army.
Just because Lu Xun told the truth about his plan, Sun Quan did not intend to make the same mistake again, and now he naturally focused all his energy on dealing with the ensuing crises.
but…
Judging from Sun Quan's temperament, it is difficult for him to move on from the past.
This means that his smart and capable appearance is just a disguise.
"Now...you can tell me what you really think in your heart."
"You have actually already thought about it...after completing this plan, you will leave me, right?"
This is a conversation that happened earlier today.
Apart from Sun Quan, the other conversation partners were Lu Xun, Lu Meng, Zhu Huan, Gu Yong, Yu Fan, Zhang Hong, etc.
Lu Su, Pan Zhang, Zhou Tai and a few others were the only ones sitting behind Sun Quan.
To a certain extent, this picture also represents the current situation in Jiangdong.
Sun Quan was still ignored.
Of course it is much better than when Zhang Zhao was in control of the overall situation.
At least they can sit down and talk face to face.
But... this will inevitably make Sun Quan feel a little sad.
The so-called comeback is nothing more than an illusion, or it can be said that it is his comeback. In the final analysis, the people of Jiangdong are still scattered.
