As night fell, the bustling Liyang County Wharf quieted down. The county town was about two miles away from the wharf. Liu Jing stood in front of the boat window with his back on his back, gazing at the small county town in the distance. The dark walls of the county town can be clearly seen.

But Liu Jing turned a blind eye to the county seat. He was still thinking about Jiang Wan's words. There is no doubt about the correctness of those words. From the few words Lu Su told him, Liu Jing guessed Jiangdong's internal divisions, but he didn't expect it. Zhang Zhao actually proposed house arrest.

However, Zhang Zhao's suggestion is also reasonable. The key is Sun Quan's attitude. Why is his attitude ambiguous? Could it be that he also has the intention of plotting against Jiang Xia?Could it be that he really wants to force himself to return to Jiangxia?

But Liu Jing didn't want to do this. Although returning to Jiangxia was fun for a while, the result may not be that Sun Quan came to Chaisang to negotiate.

Without his own participation, Zhou Yu is alone and alone, and Sun Quan will most likely be persuaded by Zhang Zhao to unite with Jiangling and Xiangyang to besiege him. Then the anti-Cao plan will be completely bankrupt, which is the last thing Liu Jing wants to see result.

Liu Jing sighed, at this moment, Lu Su's voice came from outside the cabin, "Master Jing, can I come in?"

"My son, please come in!"

Although he teased Lu Su in the end, Liu Jing had a very good impression of Lu Su. He was indeed a loyal man, a staunch anti-Cao faction, and spared no effort to make Sun Quan and himself form an alliance. It's a pity that his status in Jiangdong was not good enough. High, otherwise you can trust him completely.

Lu Su came in, bowed and saluted, "Excuse me, you are resting."

Liu Jing waved his hand with a smile, "Your Majesty, please sit down!"

Lu Su felt a little uneasy. Liu Jing stayed in Jiangdong day and night all the way, and occasionally stopped for supplies. Why did he stay in Liyang County tonight?

Now the closer he was to Eastern Wu, the more worried Lu Su was, fearing that something might happen, he sat down and asked nervously, "Are you leaving early tomorrow morning?"

Liu Jing smiled wryly and said, "I'm not hiding anything from Zijing. I got news that Zhang Zibu proposed to Marquis Wu to put me under house arrest for a few years. I'm very worried."

Lu Su was taken aback, and his words became stammered, "Where did this start?"

Liu Jing's eyes became sharper, and he stared at Lu Su, "Does Vice Governor Lu think this is nonsense?"

Lu Su was at a loss for words, of course he knew that this was not nonsense, even though he was not in Jiangdong during this time, it would not be surprising if Zhang Zhao made such a suggestion.

Liu Jing's tone softened again, "I know that Zijing is not in Jiangdong during this period, so naturally he wouldn't know about it. I don't blame Zijing for this matter."

Lu Su felt ashamed, but he didn't know how to persuade Liu Jing, so he bowed his head and remained silent for a while.

At this moment, there was a rush of horseshoes on the north bank, approaching the river, only to hear a young woman shouting, "Is this Liu Jing's boat?"

Liu Jing was startled, he heard the sound of hooves, there were at least a hundred knights, and they were still young women, who could it be?

The woman on the other side shouted again: "If you don't answer again, this girl will order to shoot arrows!"

The more than 200 elites brought by Liu Jing were already startled by the sound of horseshoes. They squatted on the side of the ship and raised their crossbows to aim at the hundreds of horsemen on the opposite bank. They could be vaguely seen wearing armor, which looked like cavalry.

However, these cavalry had no actual combat experience, and they didn't realize that they were controlled by the opponent's crossbow arrows. As long as Liu Jing gave an order, more than half of the hundreds of cavalry would be killed or injured.

At this time, Hou Xuzheng, the personal guard, rushed into the cabin to report, "My lord, there are about 120 people on the north bank, all of whom are cavalry, but..."

"But what, say!"

"But it's a bit strange, it seems that they are all female soldiers!"

Liu Jing approached the window of the ship and looked at the cavalry on the shore. The figures were clear, although they were wearing armor and armor, all of them were slender, and they were indeed women. "It's strange, how could it be a female cavalry?"

Liu Jing looked at Lu Su suspiciously, Lu Su suddenly slapped his forehead and said repeatedly: "Don't do anything, this is the sister of Marquis Wu!"

Liu Jing suddenly understood, this is the girl who snatched his horse back then, now that she has grown up, Liu Jing can't help laughing, after so many years, does she still hate herself?

He immediately told Xu Zheng, "Let brother be careful, don't pay attention, I will deal with it myself."

Xu Zheng promised to go on, and Lu Su smiled wryly again: "This is Wuhou's younger sister. She is 17 years old this year. She has been good at dancing spears and clubs since she was a child, especially good at bows and arrows. Three years ago, two hundred female soldiers were recruited to practice arrows on horseback. One They are fierce and abnormal, appearing in the market all day long, saying that they are punishing evil and promoting good, but in fact they are causing trouble, everyone in Dongwu is afraid of them, and they call them Gong Ma Ji..."

Before Lu Su could finish speaking, the woman on the shore shouted again, with anger in her voice, "I'll count to three, if I ignore it, I'll give the order to shoot the arrow!"

Liu Jing smiled wryly in his heart, so he had no choice but to agree: "I should go to Jiangdong as a guest at Brother Ling's invitation. Is this how Jiangdong treats guests?"

The woman on the shore is Sun Shangxiang. Although it has been nearly six years, she has not forgotten the humiliation of the year, but she is gradually obliterated by life and no longer cares about it.

But three days ago, she accidentally heard that Liu Jing was coming, which immediately aroused the old hatred hidden in her heart, and the anger in her heart was ignited again, so she led a hundred female soldiers to rush along Lishui, asking questions all the way , found Liu Jing's fleet in Liyang County.

In fact, you don’t need to ask Sun Shangxiang to know that this is Liu Jing’s fleet. The dozens of small warships could not be Jiangdong Navy, who else could it be besides Liu Jing?

Although Sun Shangxiang is strong, she is not reckless, nor stupid. She heard Liu Jing's answer, and after six years, she still recognized Liu Jing's voice, and said coldly: "Unless you let this girl shoot three arrows , life or death, the past enmity will be settled."

Liu Jing's thoughts turned quickly, what did she mean?If you shoot three arrows, then take a shield yourself, and it doesn't matter if she shoots ten arrows, doesn't it? . .Did she want to shoot her own horse?Or she just wants to save face.

Lu Su next to him was confused. What kind of grievances do Sun Xiaoniang and Liu Jing have?Although he was puzzled, at this moment he was not allowed to slowly look for an agreement, he hurriedly said to Liu Jing: "My lord, please let me go ashore, and I will persuade her."

Liu Jing nodded, winking at the soldiers next to him, and the soldiers immediately went out to prepare a boat to send Lu Su to the north bank. Incomparable, but with a strong temper, Wu Hou is not allowed to choose a husband for him, she has to choose by herself, so she has not married yet."

Liu Jing also couldn't help laughing, "There are so many talented people in Jiangdong, how can she not find a suitable husband? Or no one dares to marry her!"

"Both! She wants to marry a hero who is famous all over the world, but the heroes in Jiangdong dare not marry her."

Liu Jing stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, watching Lu Su from a distance. Lu Su had already reached the opposite bank, and was vaguely discussing something with the leading woman.

Liu Jing's gaze turned to the woman on horseback again, of course she couldn't see her appearance clearly, but her figure was extremely tall and slender in the dark light, could that be Sun Shangxiang?When I saw her six years ago, she was not tall enough, but now she has grown so tall.

Liu Jing has forgotten what Sun Shangxiang looked like six years ago, but her cruelty left a deep impression on Liu Jing. I don't know if she will marry Liu Bei in the end like in history.

At this time Lu Su came back again, and instead of boarding Liu Jing's boat, he said from a distance in the river: "She said that as long as the young master agrees to her conditions, she will stop harassing the young master."

"What conditions?" Liu Jing asked knowingly.

"Just now..." Lu Su stammered, "She proposed to shoot you three arrows."

"Hmph!" Liu Jing snorted coldly, "So what if I don't agree?"

Liu Jing kept his displeasure in his heart, then smiled and said loudly to Sun Shangxiang: "Miss Sun, do you only hold grudges but not gratitude? If I hadn't confessed to the murder back then, would Miss Sun have escaped from Wuchang City?"

"Liu Jing, stop talking nonsense, you know best what happened back then, and I have tolerated you enough, otherwise I will kill you!"

Liu Jing shook his head, then asked Lu Su lightly, "If I don't agree, what will happen to her?"

Lu Su was extremely helpless, he really couldn't afford to offend this Marquis of Wu's sister, but he was also worried that Liu Jing would use this as an excuse not to go to Soochow, making him in a dilemma, helpless, he had no choice but to sigh: "If she gets angry, I'm afraid he will chase him to the prince's mansion in Wuchang.

Liu Jing was taken aback, could this really happen?No wonder no one dared to marry her. Of course he would not argue with a woman, nor would he use Sun Shangxiang as an excuse not to go to Soochow, but since there are so many loopholes in her words, why not agree to her?

He smiled at Lu Su and said, "Zijing, go and tell her! I can agree."

Lu Su was overjoyed, he didn't expect this headache to be solved so easily, so he hurriedly went to the North Shore to reply.

At this time, Li Fu walked slowly to Liu Jing's side, and said in a low voice, "My lord, I have a plan to test Wu Hou's attitude."

He whispered a few words to Liu Jing, Liu Jing thought for a moment, couldn't help nodding, this is a clever plan, he immediately ordered someone to find Xu Zheng, and gave some instructions, Xu Zheng was startled, how can this work?It can be seen that Liu Jing's eyes were stern, he dared not refuse, and hurriedly went out to make arrangements.

. . . . . .

Lu Su told Sun Shangxiang Liu Jing's promise, and Sun Shangxiang was overjoyed. As long as Liu Jing agreed, she could take care of him. He thought there was a loophole in his words, and he could reach his cloud-piercing arrow with a shield?

Sun Shangxiang was very proud, she suddenly thought of a loophole, what if Liu Jing came back to perform the contract ten years later?She was very anxious, and shouted to Liu Jing: "Liu Jing, fulfill the contract within three months, a word from a gentleman, and a whip!"

In the dark, only Liu Jing replied lazily: "Although I am not a gentleman, I will not impose conditions temporarily, and I will not break my promise to women. Go! Don't disturb my sleep anymore."

Sun Shangxiang blushed, spat in a low voice, and lashed the horse with a whip, "Let's go!"

She led more than 100 female cavalrymen and galloped eastward, and disappeared in a moment. Lu Su watched them go away, and he suddenly realized that since Liu Jing agreed to her, it meant that Liu Jing was still going to Soochow.

Suddenly, a big stone fell in Lu Su's heart.
