For a whole afternoon, Lu Su felt that he had done nothing, but at the same time he felt that he had seen something very informative.
The reason is just that Yi Xiaotian's mysterious words... Of course... Lu Su is not sure that Yi Xiaotian's words are mysterious.
It's just...for him, he prefers people who work down-to-earth.
After returning to the temporarily built General's Mansion, Lu Su also saw Sun Quan who was leisurely practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard.
Sun Quan is indeed feeling relaxed now.
He has already figured it out.
At least... through that short meeting, he saw something called "growth" in his sister, which was enough to reassure him.
Right now, he just practices his sword, reads books, and enjoys flowers and birds every day. Even official duties are taken care of by Lu Xun, Yi Xiaotian and others for the sake of convenience.
Now he is just a young master who is idle at home, and his life is very comfortable - even if... a powerful enemy is right in front of him.
Seeing this scene, Lu Su naturally had a look of helplessness on his face. He knew that Sun Quan was suffocating in his heart, but if this continued, Sun Quan might really become decadent.
However, it is actually useless to say this, because Jiangdong's future is actually visible.
There are only two kinds: either they lose miserably in this battle, are defeated by Liu Bei, and become Liu Bei's territory from now on; or they defeat Liu Bei, but they will also become vassals of Cao Cao in the north.
All the talk of dividing the world into two parts and the competition in the Central Plains are all things of the past.
As for Yi Xiaotian's promise... Jiangdong will not perish, this kind of thing can only be heard. In the final analysis, he is just a counselor who is around Cao Cao. At most, he has some money on hand, and he packages himself as a good dancer.
, so mysterious, does he really think he is some big shot?
Sun Quan figured this out, and Lu Su understood it, so there was a tacit understanding between them, the monarch and his ministers, and no one said anything more.
Seeing that Lu Su was coming, Sun Quan stopped what he was doing and said with a smile:
"Zijing, look at how unhappy you are. Why, did you get teased by Yi Xiaotian again today?"
It can be seen that Sun Quan is indeed in a good mood and has time to joke.
Lu Su did not force his smile, he sighed, and then sat on the stone table outside the pavilion, thinking about the matter in a somewhat depressed manner.
Sun Quan, who received no response, was naturally a little confused, so he put on his clothes, put away his sword, walked slowly to Lu Su, and quietly looked at his expression.
"Lord..."
"Oh? Zijing, do you think I was right? Well...but, always dealing with insidious guys like Yi Xiaotian will inevitably make your mood worse."
Sun Quan said minding his own business.
But Lu Su shook his head:
"Lord, Yi Xiaotian built something called a chariot - this morning, there was a commotion on the street because of the chariot..."
"It seems like this is his secret weapon."
"Chariot? Secret weapon?"
As expected, Sun Quan also looked puzzled.
Either it is difficult to describe this thing by dictation alone, so Lu Su followed suit and said:
"I'm just worried that this guy Yi Xiaotian is a strong man but a good man. After spending so long, the thing he created will be put on the battlefield, but it will hinder the generals..."
"Later today, he said that he would demonstrate the power of the chariot on the outskirts of the west city gate... I don't know whether to go or not, and I am still struggling..."
Lu Su looked gloomy. Of course, he always looked like this. In fact, it didn't mean that he always sang the opposite. Lu Su didn't have a bad heart personally. It could even be said that he really hoped that Yi Xiaotian could help them win.
But just because of this hope, whenever he saw Yi Xiaotian's careless look, he really couldn't convince himself——
However…
"Go! You must go!"
Sun Quan suddenly shouted loudly, his expression extremely excited, as if he had finally discovered something interesting in his boring life. He hurriedly patted Lu Su on the shoulder and continued:
"What's there to worry about? If it works, our army will get a huge bonus. If it doesn't work, then we can also watch Yi Xiaotian's jokes. Why not? Zijing, you just have a good heart.
Yeah, this guy Yi Xiaotian has cheated us so much, and now he’s working for us for nothing, so just look at it.”
Sun Quan was able to say this because he had looked away.
Sometimes there is a clear distinction between love and hate, and living a more comfortable life is better than anything else.
Seeing Sun Quan's behavior, Lu Su didn't react for a while, but when Sun Quan leisurely left his side and excitedly informed the cook that he would add two more dishes for lunch, Lu Su also smiled.
"That's all... If my lord can have such a mentality, as a minister, what do I have to worry about?"
After saying that, Lu Su stood up and stretched, and the confusion in his eyes seemed to fade a little.
——
Time passed quickly, and it was evening in a blink of an eye. Of course, before the sun had set and it was still bright in the city, Yi Xiaotian sent someone to issue a notice.
It's okay if I don't mention this, but the people in the city get excited when I mention it.
During the day, some people were reserved and said that children were ignorant and always wanted to look at this and that. As a result, by this time, adults were running faster than children.
Everyone said that they must catch a good time and find a good location, and opened their eyes to carefully look at the magic of the chariot.
Of course, Sun Quan and Lu Su are also indispensable among them.
Pan Zhang and Zhou Tai had already rushed to the front line to join forces with Zhu Huan and others for training. Sun Quan and Lu Su who stayed in Wu County were the last two people on their side who were relatively relaxed.
"Zijing, hurry up. There are too many people on the road and we can't take the carriage. If we don't walk faster, we really won't be able to get a good position!"
"I know...I know...Yes...it's my lord, you left too fast!"
Lu Su had been busy every day for the past six months, and his health was considered broken. As a result, Sun Quan, who drank all day long, became stronger and stronger.
He said he was walking, but in the eyes of others, Sun Quan was trotting all the way out of the city.
So when the soldiers guarding the city saw Sun Quan passing the city gate like a gust of wind, they thought they had seen the wrong person.
But these are just some insignificant episodes before watching the actual performance of the chariot.
Finally...after all the hardships, Lu Su's arms and legs almost fell apart, they finally arrived at the designated place.
This is a quite open wilderness outside Wujun City. Even in normal times, there are often troops practicing formations here.
Now because of Yi Xiaotian's notice, the place is naturally overcrowded.
Not only to watch the chariot performance, this is also the first time in several days that Wujun City has opened its city gates. Because of Zhang Zhao, Wujun City was previously blocked. Although it did not cause some people in the city to suffocate to death, it also caused people in the city to suffocate.
The atmosphere is quite dull.
With the double happiness coming, everyone's mood was naturally extremely high.
