Since he is a hero, it is difficult to defeat the power of Wenwenxiang.
In the confusion, the noise outside the pavilion naturally did not make Zhou Yu suspicious.
After receiving hints from Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong respectively, Lu Xun understood the current situation clearly:
"Can't delay it any longer..."
——
"Huh? Ah? No...not sure? Boyan, do you know?"
Zhou Yu, who was burping from wine, asked. Lu Xun saw the curiosity in his eyes, and naturally knew that Zhou Yu had taken the bait.
Following Zhou Yu's words, Lu Xun explained:
"It is said that the Qiuci Kingdom is a country of dance and music, but when it comes to the number of people and their ability to sing and dance, they are naturally inferior to our big men -"
"Especially in Jiangdong, the dancers and musicians of Kucha Kingdom traveled all over the world not only to earn money, but also to find talented people from various places to join and strengthen their team."
"This group of musicians and dancers have been in Jiangdong for several years. During this period, many beautiful women from Jiangdong have become their apprentices. Now many of them have completed their studies and have begun to participate in the banquets of various houses.
…Well, aren’t there a few of these who are our Jiangdong women?”
Zhou Yu lay in the arms of a beautiful maid, drinking wine and eating fruit - he naturally listened to whatever Lu Xun said.
Following Lu Xun's gaze, he somehow hadn't noticed before that among the dancers dancing gracefully in the field, there were actually a few with tender skin and smiling eyebrows. Judging from their figure and appearance,
If you look at them, you can tell at a glance that they are fundamentally different from the women with wheat-colored skin in Qiuci Kingdom.
"Huh? She is indeed a woman from Jiangdong. Well... in all these years, I have never seen anyone in Jiangdong dance so smartly——"
When he said this, Zhou Yu scratched his head, because the figure of Xiao Qiao flashed through his mind inadvertently.
After all... the behavior of telling lies with open eyes still makes him somewhat uncomfortable - he has never seen it before? Xiao Qiao's dancing skills can surpass the entire Soochow. The key is that Xiao Qiao has shown it to Zhou Yu more than once
Exceeding her own dancing, now Zhou Yu says these words...
Lu Xun's eyes were naturally calm, but the sneer at the corner of his mouth betrayed his mood at the moment.
Zhou Yu was indeed drunk.
He fell down in the gentle countryside and couldn't even recognize his own woman.
But...it's not his fault. Today's round was specially set up for him.
Among the Jiangdong women who were dancing continuously during the banquet, the one with the slenderest figure and the lightest dancing posture was Xiao Qiao, who was still in the back room just now, and was now disguised, wearing a gauze and curtain, and covering her face.
Through the thin veil and gauze, Xiao Qiao's cold eyes were always locked on Zhou Yu.
At this moment, Zhou Yu's ugliness was completely exposed in front of Xiao Qiao's eyes, which caused Xiao Qiao's already almost broken understanding of Zhou Yu to further fester.
But... if Yi Xiaotian, Lu Xun, Gu Yong, and Zhang Zhao all united just to let Xiao Qiao see Zhou Yu's ugly state when he fell into a woman's arms, then it would be too much of a fuss.
The real killer move is yet to come.
After dancing for a while, the dancers naturally have to leave.
But after Lu Xun reminded him from the side, Zhou Yu suddenly became energetic:
"Can we ask them to come and drink with us?"
"That's natural. This group of dancers is for this job - don't worry, Grand Governor, I've already paid the money. You can choose these dancers and musicians."
Under Lu Xun's repeated hints, maybe it was really through a layer of veil that the person who once made Zhou Yu familiar to the point of boredom also transformed into a fairy that fascinated Zhou Yu.
Xiao Qiao probably never dreamed that over the years, she had wanted to make Zhou Yu change his mind more than once, even if it was just to look at herself again, but these became extravagant hopes.
But today... Drunk? Masked? In such a decadent occasion, Zhou Yu's heart was attracted by the dance steps she performed more than once.
Should this be said to be sad? Or pitiful?
Fortunately, before leaving the back room, Lu Ji specifically told Xiao Qiao that no matter what Zhou Yu said next, do not take off the veil easily or speak. Xiao Qiao only needs to stay quietly by Zhou Yu's side.
.
as expected.
Zhou Yu stood up unsteadily, pointed at Xiao Qiao who was about to leave the stage and shouted:
"come here!"
How familiar is this cry?
During the day, Zhou Yu, full of anger and loveless eyes, pointed at Xiao Qiao and told her to turn around.
But during the banquet at night, Zhou Yu, who looked drunk and could not hide his obscenity, said the same words to Xiao Qiao, whom he did not recognize, but in a completely different tone.
"You... come... over and drink with me!"
If Zhou Yu smiles like this again, he will sound too arrogant.
Even Lu Xun on the side was a little afraid that Xiao Qiao would not be able to help but beat him when he saw Zhou Yu like this - but it was obvious that Xiao Qiao's psychological quality had gone through several experiences and was already unusually strong.
Just like a real dancer, Xiao Qiao twisted her waist and danced gracefully, like a real fairy, and was next to Zhou Yu in the blink of an eye.
Zhou Yu, who was not aware of it, felt that he was extremely happy today. Gradually, the tight seal was finally opened.
——
"Oh! It turns out that the Grand Governor came here for this purpose today!"
Borrowing Lu Xun's words, Zhou Yu vaguely stated his purpose today.
Capture Sun Shangxiang and take him to Jianye to marry Liu Bei who has already arrived.
For this purpose, Zhou Yu needs the strength of various families.
Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong looked at each other and saw the mockery in each other's eyes:
"In the battle with Liu Bei years ago, we never thought that General Lu Meng would be defeated so quickly."
"After losing Jiangxia, I heard that there were many complaints about this matter in the DPRK and the Central Government. The governor was not there at the time, so he probably didn't know how breathless the atmosphere in Jiangdong was at that time."
Zhang Zhao said thoughtfully, of course, he was all pretending, these words were basically the lines they had rehearsed before.
The purpose is naturally to elicit more important information.
Gu Yong understood the idea and also said:
"Fortunately, the Governor returned and stabilized the situation immediately - to be able to make this decision about marriage, the Governor must have worked hard, right?"
Lu Xun was watching the show, and the two women sitting next to Zhou Yu... One was a maid arranged by Gu Yong, always on guard against Zhou Yu's sobriety: when Zhou Yu didn't notice, the maid would give Zhou Yu a drink from time to time.
Add wine.
The other person who was peeling fruit for Zhou Yu and bringing it to her mouth affectionately was Xiao Qiao in disguise.
The two of them were serving Zhou Yu, while someone else was patting Zhou Yu's horse. Not to mention how comfortable it felt.
"Hmph, how could these trivial matters lead to such consequences if Zhong Mou hadn't acted on his own initiative?"
"Who asked me, a brother, to protect him? Before he left, Junhou said that no matter what, I had to help Zhongmou unify the world. Since it was Junhou's will, even if Zhongmou repeatedly tried to
Even if he does stupid things, I will still support him!"
Zhou Yu said proudly, judging from this point alone, his loyalty to Sun Quan is indeed impeccable.
