Let us say that after Zhou Yu returned home, he first did some trivial things and resolved some conflicts at home.
Immediately afterwards, a lot of additional defensive forces were deployed to the family.
Apart from these, everyone in the Zhou mansion was immersed in the joy of the banquet at night, and taking advantage of the darkness, a letter written by Zhou Yu was quickly taken out of the mansion and delivered to every house in the city.
It is impossible to say that Zhou Yu is not angry.
Although his current attitude towards Xiao Qiao is very average, he is quite protective of his own family except Xiao Qiao.
The note "Lü Qinghou" sent to his study table had completely challenged his bottom line.
So this time Zhou Yu summoned the other three families except the Zhu family, and naturally followed the trend——
He didn't have much favorable impressions of the Gu family and the Zhang family, especially when he heard that the Zhang family planned to ask Zhang Zhao to come forward, Zhou Yu was obviously nauseated -
Let's just say that Zhang Zhao has been domineering in the court of Soochow for many years... Zhang Zhao's existence is the biggest obstacle to Zhou Yu and Sun Quan's inability to control the military and political power of Soochow.
Previously, Zhang Zhao finally took advantage of the opportunity of defeat to get out.
But…
But the fact is that no matter what the Soochow regime is based on the power of the gentry, it cannot avoid the influence of the aristocratic families in the end.
Having said this, Zhou Yu had to complain in his heart about Sun Quan's hesitation before.
If they had made up their mind early and used all the power of Soochow to search for Sun Shangxiang, even if they faced the possibility of ruining Sun Shangxiang's reputation, as long as they could control Sun Shangxiang in the shortest time, how could they have fallen to the point of letting Sun Shangxiang be ruined?
The situation in which Zhang Zhao, an old dog, stepped in?
"If I had known this, why did I do it in the first place?"
"In the end, don't you still want to see me?"
There is nothing wrong with what Zhou Yu said.
For so many years, he had been in Kerry in Soochow. Although he supported Sun Quan unconditionally, except for that time when Sun Quan played a role in overthrowing Zhang Zhao, Sun Quan was holding him back the rest of the time.
However, the pride in his heart also caused him to regard this situation as a hardship on his road to success - without hardship, how could he achieve a good story?
Therefore, although the situation is very bad now, Zhou Yu is in a very good mood.
He felt that as long as he could handle the marriage with Liu Bei perfectly this time and easily kill this clown who didn't know where he came from, this would be another strong mark in history for him.
——
The next day.
The three families who were contacted by Zhou Yu last night had actually not rested all night.
They made full preparations according to Yi Xiaotian's arrangements.
In the early morning, Zhou Yu just got up. He didn't feel much about a day that didn't seem to have much special significance.
It was a rare moment of leisure, because there was a meeting in the evening, so he didn't plan to move around too much today.
Putting aside the turmoil of Wuxian County outside the mansion, just looking at Zhou Mansion, it is indeed extremely safe and clean.
Reading, eating, admiring flowers, enjoying the cool air... most of the day passed like this.
The time soon arrived in the evening.
What really made Zhou Yu feel that something was wrong was the sudden sound of cars and horses outside the house in the evening——
"Huh? Could it be Lu Xun and the others?"
Zhou Yu is quite satisfied with Lu Xun's recent performance. The main reason is that Lu Xun helped Sun Quan a lot, which indirectly made him feel more relaxed. But... whether Lu Xun is sensible or not depends on his attitude towards him.
In any case, because of his relationship with Sun Ce, in order to prevent Lu Xun from making some extraordinary moves after he gained power, Zhou Yu did not intend to let Lu Xun reach a high position, at least during his term of office.
With this thought in mind, Zhou Yu thought that Lu Xun and others were anxious and planned to come to his house earlier.
However…
"Master! Someone came and said they are looking for you...this..."
The concierge's voice came from far outside the courtyard, which made Zhou Yu a little confused.
"Huh? Looking for me? If it's Lu Boyan and the others, just let them in..."
Puzzled, Zhou Yu muttered as he walked.
As soon as he arrived at the door, Zhou Yu noticed the troubled expression on the concierge's face.
"What's wrong?"
"No...not the head of the Lu family...but...um..."
The concierge's embarrassed reaction made Zhou Yu even more curious, so he took the first step and walked out of the door.
What came into view was a row of carriages that were so ornately decorated that it would be no exaggeration to say that they were "embellished with gold and jade."
Yes, what suddenly appeared in front of Zhou Yu was such an exaggerated scene. Behind the tall horses were heavy carriages - the drivers on the carriages were meticulous, all wearing gray and black robes, only
Judging from their serious expressions, Zhou Yu also felt stressed.
Confused - yes, Zhou Yu didn't react for a while, and he didn't know why such a battle appeared in front of him.
As Zhou Yu walked out of the house, Lu Ji, who stepped out of the car, dressed in Confucian robes, greeted Lu Xun extremely respectfully:
"I've met the Grand Governor."
"Well...it's public discipline. Can you explain what this battle is...?"
"Oh, it's not a big deal. The Governor is back home this time and can afford such treatment. Boyan has already booked the Fuchun Tower, and the Pavilion Elder and Gu Lao are already in place, waiting for you, the Governor."
"Ah? No...I didn't agree to stay in my house..."
Zhou Yu was still stunned by the battle and could not recover, but Lu Ji had obviously received a death order and did not intend to give Zhou Yu time to think again——
"There's no time to explain. Commander, please get in the car quickly."
"Uh...oh, then..."
Zhou Yu probably glanced at his concierge subconsciously in a trance. If the concierge really stepped forward to stop him, Zhou Yu might have stopped - but unfortunately, the concierge was more surprised than Zhou Yu.
Even now, we are still immersed in the shock caused by this battle.
Lu Ji didn't give Zhou Yu any chance and directly pulled Zhou Yu into the car.
After receiving the order, the coachman suddenly flicked the reins, and all the carriages stepped away in sync and headed straight to the end of the street.
——
"Eh? Where did my son go?"
I don't know how long it took, but Zhou Yi's doubtful voice suddenly sounded in the quiet Zhou Mansion.
The concierge standing at the door was at a loss and could only point to the door tremblingly:
"I was just...just picked up."
"Clam?"
Zhou Yi thought about it, and he still remembered that his son seemed to have told him earlier that they were going to have a meeting in the mansion today, but now...where did Zhou Yu go?
——
At the same time that Zhou Yu was picked up, in the Zhou Mansion, in a corner of the courtyard, in Xiao Qiao's boudoir, Xiao Qiao was dressed in fine clothes - listening to the commotion outside the house, she also held a card in her hand that she had just discovered yesterday.
of paper.
Judging from the slight trembling all over her body, it seemed that she was very nervous now.
