Chapter 70 Brothers Separate
After hearing what Zhou Yu said, Sun Ce and Tai Shici nodded, helped Zhou Yu up, and asked him to sit up.

Zhou Yu's voice was choked as he said, "Just now, I dreamed that my father was drifting away, so I can take care of myself in the future."

"In the dream, I was heartbroken, and I realized that it was so smooth before. It was not about my ability, but because my father took care of everything for me."

"I just thought about it, and I deeply feel that life is difficult, just like the endless river. Although I have the ambition to go east to the sea, the process is slow and the journey is difficult. Rivers always have a time to enter the sea, and the ambition of life , but often difficult to achieve.”

Taishi Ci comforted him and said, "Gong Jin——"

Sun Ce said: "Gong Jin, don't say such depressing words, our goal will definitely be achieved!"

Zhou Yu forced a laugh, exhaled, and said to Sun Ce: "Bo Fu, Ziyi, from now on, I will leave it to you. I am going to leave later and rush to Shu County to see my father for the last time."

"This will take at least three years."

"In these three years, it's up to you."

Sun Ce sighed secretly, nodded and said, "There is nothing we can do about this. Go ahead, Gongjin, I will be more careful here."

Zhou Yu said: "After I go, Bo Fu, you must control your arrogance and impatience, hide your murderous intent, and treat the local families with a better temper."

"Jiangdong is no better than Shu County back then."

"This will be your foothold in the future."

"You still need to rely on the major families here."

Sun Ce said: "I understand."

Zhou Yu looked at Taishi Ci again and said: "Ziyi, although you are a military commander, you have a calm temperament. In the future, you must persuade Bo Fu more and don't let him be too reckless."

Taishi Ci hummed.

Zhou Yu then said: "Go and help me prepare the ship."

Sun Ce sighed and left with Tai Shici.

Zhou Yu sat alone on the bedside, covering his face with his hands.

After a while, he removed his hands and sniffed.

Getting up from the bed, getting dressed, and standing in front of the dressing mirror, Zhou Yu looked at himself in the bronze mirror and murmured: "Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu, now you are no longer the young man who could do anything willfully. Now , you are already an adult."

After taking one last look at himself in the bronze mirror, Zhou Yu strode outside.

Outside, Sun Ce had prepared the horses.

Zhou Yu rode away on horseback.

Sun Ce followed, all the way to Ou'a port, and watched Zhou Yu get on the ship.

Watching Zhou Yu leave, Sun Ce could only look up to the sky and roar.

When Zhou Yu rushed to Shu County by boat, Lu Yi, Lu Su and Zhang Ying also rushed to Shouchun.

This time, when the three of them arrived, they were greeted by envoys sent by Yuan Shu!
But it's not Yan Xiang, but a man named Han Yin.

Lu Yi curiously asked Han Yin: "Why isn't Master Yan coming to pick me up this time?"

Han Yin smiled and said: "Yan Gong went to Shu County."

"Once the Zhou family is destroyed, and the only living young master of the Zhou family is not in Shu County at the moment, someone has to take care of the funeral. As the lord of Yangzhou, it is most appropriate for Mr. Yuan to do this. Mr. Yan is also the most suitable person for Mr. Yuan. It’s natural for him to go to his trusted subordinate.”

"Secondly, this time Zheng Bao and all the bandits tried to break into Shu County, but Liu Xun, the governor of Lujiang, used a clever plan to defeat them."

"These bandits stole a lot of supplies from the Zhou family."

"Yan Gong came over and happened to respond."

Lu Yi nodded, and everything ran according to the established strategy.

This time Han Yin arranged for Lu Yi and others to stay next to the government office, in the mansion where Lu Yi once lived.

After that, Lu Su and Zhang Ying were allowed to rest in the room, and Lu Yi was taken directly to see Yuan Shu.

Lu Yi waited for a while in the stone pavilion in the garden outside the Yamen side hall of Shouchun Mansion before he saw Yuan Shu coming in high spirits and said: "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Lu!"

Lu Yi hurriedly saluted and said, "This is what I should do."

Yuan Shu motioned Lu Yi to sit down, and then smiled and said: "Yan Gong told me before setting off, Lu Lang, you can't be too proud after you have made great achievements."

"Originally, I was thinking of calling my little girl to meet you and get engaged to you, Lu Lang."

"However, considering that you are still behind Sun Ce. Once Sun Ce knows that you have such dealings with me, I am afraid it will be detrimental to you, so this matter is put aside for the time being. When we take Sun Ce and Jiangdong, I will definitely hold a ceremony for you and my daughter. A beautiful wedding." Lu Yi said: "I think so too."

After a pause, Lu Yi said again: "Mr. Yuan, now that the Zhou family has been destroyed, what are your plans?"

Yuan Shu asked back: "What does Lu Lang think?"

Lu Yi said in a deep voice: "The destruction of the Zhou family must be a huge blow to Sun Ce. He suddenly lost his steady supply of food and grass. If Mr. Yuan sends a large army across the river to attack again, Sun Ce will definitely attack Danyang County in a hurry. and local families in Wu County are plundering unscrupulously, which will arouse public outrage."

"Yuan Gong's army crossed the river to attack from the front."

"I contacted the bandits from Wujun, Kuaiji and other places and the people from Baiyue to attack from behind."

"In addition, Sun Ce's desperation caused the local families to be filled with indignation."

"It is impossible for Sun Ce to be undefeated."

"Mr. Yuan, now is the perfect time to send troops across the river!"

Yuan Shu smiled and said: "Let's put the attack on Sun Ce aside for now."

Lu Yi was quite surprised and said: "Don't miss this opportunity again! Let it go now. When Sun Ce recovers, our chances of winning will be greatly reduced!"

Yuan Shu personally poured a glass of wine for Lu Yi and said, "Lu Lang, don't be anxious!"

"Now that the Zhou family has been destroyed, although I have repeatedly declared that Zheng Bao is the real culprit, many people do not buy it and are looking at me."

"I'm going to avoid it."

"Otherwise, everyone will insult me."

"My reputation is gone."

"You know, this is no ordinary family, it's the Zhou family!"

Lu Yi: "."

Do you still have a reputation?

You dare to kill Chen Wen, the Yangzhou shepherd appointed by the imperial court!

You also lead Yangzhou Mu and Xuzhou Bo!

Moreover, even if others really know that you, Yuan Shu, destroyed the Zhou family, so what?

Who dares to take revenge?
If you don't seize the opportunity to destroy Sun Ce at this time, why don't you let him go?
Lu Yi sighed secretly.

Although he had known that Yuan Shu was this kind of person and expected that he would do this, he still felt very disappointed when faced with such a situation.

It seems that the only way to go is to let Yuan Shu and Sun Ce fight each other.

Thinking of this, Lu Yi said: "Okay, let's let it go."

Yuan Shu was in a very happy mood.

This Lu Yi is much easier to talk to than Yan Xiang!

If he takes over Yan Xiang in the future, his mood will be much better every day.

Lu Yi continued: "However, we can put this matter aside for a while. If there is something else, we might put it on the agenda."

Yuan Shu asked curiously: "What?"

Lu Yi looked directly at Yuan Shu and said, "Proclaim yourself emperor."

Yuan Shu felt happy.

Now I have the imperial seal in my hand.

The Zhou family was destroyed again.

Who else in this world is my enemy?
Not to mention, there were rumors in nursery rhymes that he should be the emperor.

He also thought about it countless times.

It's just that the Zhou family's destruction had too much repercussions, and he suddenly felt guilty, so he didn't dare to think about it.

But I didn't expect that Lu Yi would be thinking about this!

However, although Yuan Shu was happy in his heart, he still acted on his pretense: "Proclaiming himself emperor? Now? Isn't this bad?"
