Chapter 240
In the early morning of the next day, Sun Quan, under the escort of more than [-] elite Jiangdong Army soldiers, went through the valley where the previous battle had taken place and headed for Lujiang City.

This valley still smelled of blood. Although many bloodstains had been buried in the soil during the processing, it still couldn't hide the tragedy here.

Although the thirty elite soldiers were indignant, they were all calm people, and they did not vent their anger because the lord was killed.

Their purpose this time is to ask for the lord's body, and they must not mess up this matter.

Under the city of Lujiang, Zhang Xun had already led troops to greet him at the gate, waiting for the Jiangdong Army to send people to come.

When he saw that the Jiangdong army sent a boy in his teens, Zhang Xun couldn't help being puzzled.

But as long as it is someone sent by the Jiangdong Army, Zhang Xun will take him to Yuan Shu, this is His Majesty's order.

Without saying anything, Zhang Xun waited for Sun Quan to approach with his troops, and ordered his soldiers to search one by one, confiscating all sharp weapons.

After letting this group of people enter the city, Zhang Xun took Sun Quan to meet Yuan Shu directly.

The palace hall in the city is not particularly luxurious, but it can more or less highlight some imperial spirit.

Sun Quan looked at the construction here and couldn't help taking a deep breath, feeling very shocked.

It is really surprising that Yangzhou's financial resources can build such a palace.

Although the palace is definitely not comparable to the formal emperor's palace, it is really extraordinary to have such a construction scale in this Lujiang City.

Yuan Shu sat on the throne he had built and looked down, and snorted curiously.

"Oh? Blue eyes and purple beard, more than ten years old, this should be Sun Jian's second son, Bi Yan'er, Sun Quan?"

Yuan Shu thought in his heart.

He directly guessed Sun Quan's identity, after all his signs were too obvious.

With a light cough, Yuan Shu didn't intend to endanger Sun Quan, and said directly: "Who is coming, tell me your name."

There was no power in his voice. Although Yuan Shu was a greedy and ruthless person, he was not a hooligan who endangered children.

Sun Quan also sized up Yuan Shu and thought to himself, "This Yuan Gonglu is not a cruel, unkind and willful prince like the rumors, but he looks very wise!"

"This is also normal. He has been able to control Yangzhou, the richest city in the Han Dynasty, for so many years, and he will definitely not be an ordinary guy. A person who can sit in this position is definitely not a fool!"

Sun Quan smiled while thinking, "Uncle Gonglu, the younger generation is the son of Marquis Wu Cheng, Sun Quan and Sun Zhongmou."

Answering Yuan Shu with a slightly childish voice, Sun Quan wanted to win Yuan Shu's sympathy.

Now that he has discovered that Yuan Shu will not embarrass the child, he directly wants to take advantage of this.

"This child is not simple! He didn't want to call me His Majesty, but he didn't say much, he just called me Uncle. This will not only bring him closer to me, but also inherit Sun Jian's status as a Hanchen. It's interesting!"

Yuan Shu thought in his heart.

Yuan Shu also saw a trace of intelligence in Sun Quan's eyes. He smiled slightly and continued, "Oh? Then why did Zhongmou come here to see Uncle Gonglu?"

Knowing that he killed Sun Quan's father, Yuan Shu still wanted to ask a question, to test the child's city.

Originally, he thought that Sun Quan would stare and hate him, but Yuan Shu was already prepared that the child would do something to him.

But what Yuan Shu didn't expect was that Sun Quan wasn't angry at all, instead he showed a slight smile.

"Uncle Gonglu, this junior is here to ask for his father's bones. I don't think Uncle Gongfu will not embarrass this junior's father who has passed away. There should be a prince-level coffin to settle in?"

Although very angry in his heart, Sun Quan still showed a very friendly side.

Even the thirty Jiangdong soldiers he brought who were outside the main hall could not help admiring the young master's self-cultivation when they saw this.

Yuan Shu took a deep breath, and couldn't help feeling that this blue-eyed boy was so smart.

Although he is very angry that he is his father-killing enemy, he can always trick himself inside and outside the words.

With just a few words, it was not easy for this Bi Yaner to fight for her father's coffin as a prince.

Yuan Shu liked this Sun Quan more and more. He sincerely felt that Sun Jian had a good life and gave birth to two excellent sons!
"That's natural! Gongtai used to be one of my heroes, so I should give him a dignified burial. It's just that Gongtai's home is in Changsha, let him return to his roots!"

"Zhongmou, can you tell me how old you are?"

Yuan Shu couldn't bear the curiosity in his heart, and asked Sun Quan's age directly.

When Sun Quan heard that Yuan Shu agreed to let him take his father back, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he replied: "Uncle Gonglu, the junior Zhongmou is two out of ten this year, and he will be 13 soon."

"One more thing, my brother asked the younger generation to convey to Uncle Gonglu that the Jiangdong army is willing to retreat and cede the land north of the Yangtze River, hoping to live in peace with Yangzhou."

Hearing Sun Quan's words, Yuan Shu's heart trembled again, and he couldn't help swallowing.

Sun Ce was willing to cede the land north of the Yangtze River, which is the most fertile place.

Now that they can be taken back without bloodshed, Yuan Shu is naturally very excited.

"Okay! Since your elder brother Sun Bofu has made such a request, I naturally agree."

"Also, I want to accept you, Sun Zhongmou, as my adoptive son. What do you think? Back then, your elder brother didn't want to recognize me as a foster father, so I didn't blame him."

"Now the public platform is also jealous of talents. Jiangdong has your elder brother Sun Bofu and your Sun Zhongmou taking care of it. I am very relieved."

"I just don't know, how do you feel, little guy?"

He expressed his love for Sun Quan very straightforwardly, and Yuan Shu recognized him as his adopted son.

Moreover, there was a deep meaning in Yuan Shu's eyes.Sun Quan immediately understood.

Sun Quan knew that this was Yuan Shu's conspiracy!

He could see that he also wanted to inherit his father's inheritance, but it was a pity that there was an older brother holding him back.

Sun Quan, who was already quite ambitious, was very interested, but now is not the time to recognize his foster father.

His biological father's bones are still not cold, if at this time he admits a thief as his father in order to deal with his elder brother, that would be the most discreditable thing.

Even the Jiangdong soldiers outside felt tense, worried that Mr. Quan would agree.

Sun Quan swallowed, and hurriedly said, "Uncle Gonglu, my father's bones are not yet cold, let the younger generation bury my father first!"

"If Uncle Gonglu doesn't dislike Zhongmou's lack of talent and learning, then let Zhongmou bring back some precious items to be buried with his father, and let Zhongmou also show his filial piety!"

After hearing Sun Quan's words, Yuan Shu laughed out loud, feeling that Sun Quan was too smart.

Not only did he not reject him, but he also implicitly expressed his attitude. Yuan Shu was very happy.

"Okay! Jewelry, you can take it if you want! Take it back, and it will be buried with the public platform."

Yuan Shu looked at Sun Quan with satisfaction, because he also saw ambition in Sun Quan's eyes.

This child is very similar to himself, except that he is calmer!
Sun Quan smiled slightly, knowing that he had successfully completed the task, he quickly bowed to Yuan Shu and retreated.
