The situation in Wu County has now clearly turned into a huge whirlpool.
Once anyone is involved in it, it will be difficult to get out again.
Under such circumstances, Liu Bei, who was on the other side to welcome the bride, was still unaware of the insecure atmosphere in Jiangdong.
Not only that, after arriving at Shicheng yesterday, he immediately turned north today and arrived at Jianye City before noon.
In order to welcome Liu Bei who came from afar, Sun Quan really took action personally this time.
Just the battle to welcome Liu Bei was enough to make Liu Bei feel the importance he received. Every time like this, he would think of his second brother far away in Jiangxia——
"Without my second brother's heroic feat of conquering Jiangxia in one fell swoop, how could I have the virtue to stand here?"
Liu Bei met Sun Quan's welcoming team and walked over with his head held high.
The majestic figure behind him widened his eyes with anger and led his white horse, just like a Buddhist garland guarding Liu Bei, which shocked everyone present.
What does it mean that the present is different from the past?
Liu Bei smiled and waved to Sun Quan in the distance. Sun Quan's eyelids trembled and he could only greet him with a fake smile.
This scene is very similar to what Sun Quan did to Zhuge Liang back then -
"Oh... Wu Hou, you're all right! We haven't seen each other for a few years, but Wu Hou has grown stronger and stronger. Standing in front of you, he makes me, an old guy, look dwarfed by comparison."
Liu Bei held out his belly and raised his voice, for fear that others would not hear his greetings.
He said it with a smile, but when the words fell in Sun Quan's ears, he felt that the person standing in front of him was not his equal monarch, but an old man saying to this little kid like him.
Three things and four—
Sun Quan's violent temper is about to explode.
But Lu Su, who was following him, conveniently picked up the skirt of his clothes. This reminder made Sun Quan look up in shock. He looked past Liu Bei and saw Wei Yan, whose facial features were twisted together and looked like a ghost.
Stare at him hard.
Sun Quan trembled all over and took a step back.
This shocked Liu Bei in front of him:
"Wu Hou, what's wrong with you?"
"No...nothing...haha..."
"I've been eating well lately - uncle Huang, you haven't aged at all. In my opinion, you are very energetic!"
Sun Quan replied awkwardly, and a twisted smile appeared on his face.
How annoying do you think this is? Two years ago, he could still dictate to Liu Bei, but now he has to serve this big-eared man he once looked down upon, fearing that the other party would misunderstand something and eventually break the alliance——
Of course, the most irritating thing was yet to come. Sun Quan’s greetings did not make Liu Bei restrained, but instead made Liu Bei interested. He smiled and patted Sun Quan on the shoulder and said loudly:
"That's natural! If I want to meet Princess Xiangxiang, I have to take care of myself. Oh, by the way, where is my Princess Xiangxiang? Why haven't I heard from Princess Xiangxiang for so long since I came to Jiangdong?
How about the voice of my heroic husband?"
Princess Xiangxiang…
Including Sun Quan, together with a calm man like Lu Su, and a large number of Soochow officials who followed Sun Quan to pick him up, after hearing such a disgusting word, Liu Bei, an old man with big ears and long arms, was not shy about talking.
When I said it, a nauseating feeling almost burst out of my body.
The good thing is... the good thing is that everyone has received training and is professional. If it were not a special situation, they would not have any unnecessary performance.
but…
"vomit!"
"Huh? What's the sound?"
An extremely clear sound of vomiting came from the ranks of officials.
At this moment, Sun Quan's scalp was numb. He didn't even have time to get angry, and a look of panic appeared on his face.
Liu Bei on the opposite side seemed to be somewhat deaf, but he heard a strange sound and couldn't help but ask.
Lu Su, who was behind Sun Quan, reacted so quickly. In the blink of an eye, he completed a set of moves - turning around - arranging for people to clean the scene - dragging away the person involved - and then turning around to explain.
Lu Su, smiling, explained to Liu Bei:
"Oh, Mr. Shi, the commander of the General's Mansion, was so excited when he saw the emperor's uncle that he fell to the ground and fainted. But it's not serious. Just let him rest for a while -"
"Well... it's not advisable to stay here for a long time. Let's go into the city first. Knowing that the emperor's uncle is coming, the lord has already booked a restaurant in the city. Today, he will ask the emperor to take a rest first. In the evening, there will be a reception specially prepared for the emperor's uncle.
We can talk about the banquet and other things later?"
When he heard there was a banquet, Liu Bei's eyes began to light up. The most exciting thing he looked forward to when he came to Soochow was undoubtedly the meeting with Sun Shangxiang. Ever since he saw Sun Shangxiang's portrait that day, Liu Bei's heart was full of enthusiasm.
It never cooled down.
But apart from these, what he was most satisfied with was Jiangdong's food.
Living in Jingnan, his situation is much better than it was many years ago, but because it is still relatively poor under the rule, even eating meat is not available at any time.
As he spoke, Liu Bei patted his round belly - this was the result of his many days in Jiangdong.
Lu Xun entertained him in the first place, and Sun Quan entertained him in the latter. Anyway, he was going to have a good time.
In an instant, he completely forgot about the Sun Shangxiang mentioned before. Liu Bei acted like a heartless person - maybe he was - he swaggered ahead of everyone and entered the city.
Wei Yan and the many guards who followed him were naturally showing off their power in the same way.
Sun Quan, who had fallen behind them, dared not speak even if he wanted to curse.
I can only pray in my heart——
"Gong Jin, Boyan, you should find my little sister quickly. If you have to spend a few days with this old thing, you might as well let me go to the front line to kill the enemy!"
——
In fact, one of Lu Xun and Zhou Yu, whom Sun Quan was talking about, was preparing at home at the moment, and the other had just returned to the Zhou Mansion in Wu County this morning.
"Zhou Lang is back!"
"Zhou Lang is back!"
On the streets, news of Zhou Yu's return spread quickly.
If not for anything else, Zhou Yu's image was remembered by many young girls in Jiangdong when he first arrived in Jiangdong.
There is no need to doubt the popularity of Zhou Lang's name in Jiangdong.
Even if the exhibition hall is in the limelight recently, if it comes across the name of Zhou Lang, most people will only choose to go see Zhou Lang.
This is the preconceived impression.
This is also the reason why Yi Xiaotian is determined to deal with Zhou Yu this time.
Lu Xun is the person Yi Xiaotian values most in Jiangdong, but Zhou Yu is now the person who poses the greatest threat to Yi Xiaotian in Jiangdong.
He even has the ability to suppress public opinion by himself.
