Restaurant, room.
In recent days, Wu county has been in chaos, people are in a panic, and officials are in a panic.
Wenpin has a smile in his eyes, especially excited. Looking at Liu Xiu with admiration, he said: "the young master's clever plan, a little provocation, has easily caused unrest in Wu County. It seems that many people are dissatisfied with Sun Quan."
Liu Xiu said: "the first reason for Jingzhou's success is that it has spies and strength in Wu County, so it can know every move of Wu County and set off a storm. The second reason is that it owes to sun CE, who killed too many aristocratic people in Wu County, especially Xu Gong. After Xu Gong died for so many years, there are still people loyal to him. Third, thanks to Lu Xun's disturbance of the situation, Jiangdong's aristocratic family is not clear after the Lu family's attack, so they have been involved in it one after another, and the present situation has emerged. "
Wen pin nodded and said: "even so, if there is no childe to lead, everything will be difficult to succeed."
Liu Xiu said with a smile: "general Zhongye, you praise me too much."
Wenpin said, "next, what shall we do?"
Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "don't move for the time being. Tomorrow is the time to celebrate your birthday. When it's time to meet you, we can make the next plan."
"No!"
Wen pin nodded and went out of Liu Xiu's room.
……
Lu family, study.
Lu Xun, Lu Mao and Lu Ji sat opposite each other.
Lu Ji is 20 years old, younger than Lu Xun and the same age as Lu Mao. But he was Lu Kang's son in his later years. Although he was young, he grew up with Lu Xun and Lu Mao.
Lu Ji stares at Lu Xun and says, "Bo Yan, is it dangerous for the Lu family to get involved in Liu Xiu's behind the scenes planning?"
Lu Ji's resentment towards the sun family is deeper.
Lu Ji, Lu Kang's son, witnessed his father's death in Lujiang River. His hatred has never been resolved. The reason why they submit to the sun family is that the sun family is so powerful that it is impossible for the Lu family to compete. Otherwise, the Lu family would have done it long ago.
Lu Xun said with a big smile: "Sun Quan is afraid of the Lu family. Even if he knows that the Lu family is involved, he will be more afraid. And this time, we just add fuel to the flames and spread the news without any action. So, uncle, don't worry, there will be no problem. "
Lu Mao's eyes were excited and said: "the situation in Wu county is turbulent. If the sun family is destroyed, it would be great."
"That's impossible," Lu said
The reason why Lu Xun knew that Liu Xiu was behind the scenes was that he told Liu Xiu that he could not leave Jiangdong. After the successive murders, the situation in Wu County was turbulent and chaotic. Lu Xun concluded that it was Liu Xiu.
As for the other families, I don't know who is behind the scenes. These families, once subjected to sun CE's bloody suppression, all have a knot in their heart. Seeing the Lu family move, they all move like beasts smelling fishy smell.
As a result, the situation is getting worse and worse.
……
October 25, sunny. In the cold winter, it is rare to have good sunshine. Bathing in the sun, the whole person is very comfortable.
Marquis Wu's mansion has been decorated in the early morning.
Inside and outside the house, people come and go, making the atmosphere more lively.
Zhang Zhao came to the mansion early and arranged the birthday party. Qiao Xuan, Daqiao's father, also came. Although sun CE died and Daqiao was widowed, the relationship between Qiao Xuan and the sun family is still closely maintained. In addition, Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Lu Meng, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang and others also arrived early to celebrate their birthday.
Sun Quan's legitimate officials, as well as those who had a close relationship with the sun family, arrived.
Liu xiulai's time was about midnight. By the time he arrived, all the main counsellors and generals of Jiangdong had arrived. Liu Xiu gave the birthday gift to the registered person and went straight to the mansion.
Lu Su arranged things in the front hall. When he saw Liu Xiu, he came up with a smile, waved his hand and said, "Mr. Liu, I'm waiting for you. Let's go to the hall. "
Take Liu Xiu and go straight to the hall.
In the hall, people were chatting and laughing. Wu Guotai, the birthday girl, sat on the top of the hall and accepted the congratulations.
In his late fifties, Wu was born with a kind face. When she talked with her relatives at home, she noticed the young people who came with Lu su. Wu Guotai's eyes passed by sun Shangxiang. Seeing that sun Shangxiang's expression was tense, she understood it in her heart.
"The sword eyebrows enter the temples, the eyes are clear, the nose is bold, and the face is firm and steady. He is really a handsome young man."
Wu looked around and had a very good first impression.
Lu Su brought Liu Xiu forward and said respectfully, "old lady, this is Liu Xiu in Jingzhou."
Liu Xiu bowed his hands and said humbly and respectfully, "I've met the old lady, younger Liu Xiu." His every move, behavior is appropriate, not humble, very comfortable.
Rao is Sun Quan, Zhang Zhao and others, also can not pick out the thorn.
Wu Guotai said with a smile: "good, good, good young hero. Xiang'er, take Liu Xiu around. "
"Well!"
Sun Shangxiang stood up and left with Liu Xiu.
People's eyes fell on Liu Xiu and sun Shangxiang, and they praised each other.All kinds of words into sun Shangxiang's ears, let Sun Shangxiang's face a little more faint red.
Sometimes, because of choice and dilemma, once determined, but more relaxed. Sun Shangxiang returned to Jiangdong with the idea of repentance, but repentance will affect Jiangdong, and he is in a dilemma. Under the pressure of Sun Quan, she had to accept the decision to marry Liu Xiu. After the decision, she felt better and didn't have to suffer.
Under the eyes of the people, they went out of the hall to the back yard.
Backyard, pavilion.
They sat down, but they were very embarrassed.
Once upon a time, Liu Xiu beat sun Shangxiang with his sword skill, and sun Shangxiang was beaten to pieces. Once, Liu Xiu set a trap and captured sun Shangxiang. Now, instead of sitting together, Liu Xiu has become the party to greet the bride.
Sun Shangxiang pursed his lips and said, "don't you have anything to say?"
Liu Xiu said, "miss Shangxiang, do you still count the things that were agreed at the beginning?"
In a word, sun Shangxiang's face turned pale. What was originally agreed was that she escaped and repented of her marriage? Sun Shangxiang took a deep breath and said slowly, "I have agreed to the marriage. I will not escape or repent."
When Liu Xiu heard the speech, he picked his sword eyebrows.
Sure enough, sun Shangxiang is unreliable. Under the operation of Sun Quan and Jiangdong counsellors, it is impossible for sun Shangxiang to insist on his own opinion. Three or two times, I was persuaded.
Sun Shangxiang asked, "are you disappointed?"
Liu Xiu said: "a little bit!"
After a pause, Liu Xiu said, "but I can't blame you for this. It's cruel to let a woman repent and escape from marriage. It's all right, it's all right. "
Sun Shangxiang frowned and couldn't understand Liu Xiu's mind.
Liu xiuxin has his own family, but now, it seems that he has accepted the arrangement of greeting his relatives. Is it because he has also succumbed to Liu Biao's arrangement? Sun Shangxiang thought about it and said, "how can you explain to the person you like when you agree to get married and go back to Jingzhou?"
Liu Xiu said: "step by step, step by step, the boat will go straight to the bridge."
In the face of sun Shangxiang, Liu Xiu can't tell the real plan. Just as Sun Quan didn't tell sun Shangxiang to detain Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu now can't tell sun Shangxiang that he will plot to escape when he meets his relatives.
All this is still in the dark.
They chatted intermittently, without any tacit understanding at all.
The content of the chat is also shriveled.
Not long after, your servants came to inform us that they were going to celebrate Wu Guotai's birthday. The two returned to the front hall, and then arrived at Wu Hou Fu officials or sun family relatives, one after another to Wu Guotai birthday.
The atmosphere was warm and the scene was very harmonious.
Liu Xiu took part in it. When he should celebrate, he would celebrate. When he should toast, he would toast. Everything was very appropriate. Liu Xiu's every move, in the eyes of Wu Guotai, is calm and appropriate, and his speech and manner are appropriate.
In particular, Liu Xiu talked freely with Zhou Yu, Lu Su and other talented people, which made Wu more satisfied.
After the banquet, after the toast, Wu Guotai looks at Qiao Xuan at the same table and asks for his opinions. Qiao Xuan also praises Liu Xiu, saying that Liu Xiu is a young hero, and Wu Guotai is even more happy.
On this day, there was no overt and covert fighting at the banquet, only harmonious celebration. After dinner in the evening, when the crowd dispersed, Liu Xiu was able to leave Marquis Wu's residence and return to his temporary restaurant.
