The Three Kingdoms Voyage

Chapter 43 The Big Tiger
Jianye (now Nanjing), the backyard of the Cheqi General's Mansion.

Fang Yi's big-mouthed Sun Quan was sitting on the porch with his legs crossed, smiling as he watched his two daughters, Sun Luban and Sun Luyu, playing in the court. Look at the two well-behaved daughters, and look at the rare and leisurely Sun Quan for a while.Sun Quan has been very busy recently, and it is difficult to come to the backyard to see their mother and daughter. I don't know what happy things happened today. As soon as he walked in, he was smiling and seemed to be in a particularly good mood.

"General." Mrs. Bu did not call Sun Quan the supreme like other officials, nor did she call Sun Quan her husband, although she is now Sun Quan's favorite wife.

"Huh?" Sun Quan turned his head and glanced at her, but his eyes still did not leave the two daughters.

"Is the general not discussing anything today?" Mrs. Bu asked with a smile. Her smile was very gentle and serene, which made people feel at ease.Sun Quan had watched it for so many years, but still couldn't get enough of it, so he was lost in thought for a while.Seeing that he didn't answer, Mrs. Bu raised her head, just in time to meet Sun Quan's fiery eyes, she couldn't help but blushed, and lowered her head shyly.Only then did Sun Quan come back to his senses, he laughed, stretched out his hand and pulled Mrs. Bu to his side, and said with a soft smile, "It's over, let's leave early."

Mrs. Bu was held in Sun Quan's arms. She was a little embarrassed. Sun Luban and Sun Luyu who were playing in the court saw them and immediately rushed up the steps. Sun Quan put his arms around Sun Quan's neck on his shoulders, giggling happily, but before he could laugh twice, Sun Luban rushed up and pushed her hard, and pushed her aside, crossed his hips, stared and shouted: "Don't follow me!" I grab it!"

Sun Luyu didn't pay attention, and was pushed to the ground. Tears immediately filled his shining eyes, and he curled his mouth. Just as he was about to cry, Sun Luban pointed his chubby little finger at her again, and shouted old-fashionedly: "Don't cry!" !"

Sun Luyuchu was frightened, but she really didn't dare to cry. She looked at Sun Quan and Mrs. Bu aggrievedly. Both Sun Quan and Mrs. Bu were shocked by Sun Luban's domineering. Seeing the tears in his eyes, he got up and threw himself into Mrs. Bu's arms, and then cried out with a "wow", her small shoulders trembling, very pitiful.

"How can you bully my sister?" Sun Quan patted Sun Luban's butt lightly with a sullen face, and said unhappily.

"I'm my sister, she should let me go." Sun Luban's eyes were also red, and he said loudly, holding back the tears in his eyes.

"Nonsense, my sister should let my sister."

"Ah Weng is not good, Ah Weng doesn't love the big tiger, only the little tiger." Sun Luban also cried "Wow", tears flowed down, and the originally pink and pink face suddenly turned into a big face.Sun Quan couldn't help laughing, hugged her in his arms, and comforted her repeatedly: "Da Hu is good, Da Hu is good, it's Ah Weng who is wrong, it is Ah Weng who is wrong."

Sun Luban cried even louder.

"General, don't pet her anymore." Mrs. Bu frowned while comforting Sun Luyu and said, "Dahu is too pampered, even bullying his own sister, what will happen from now on."

Sun Luban, who had already shut down his voice, immediately amplified his voice when he heard it.Mrs. Bu was about to reprimand, but Sun Quan stopped her with his eyes. He stood up, carried Sun Luban on his shoulders and dangled in the yard, saying good things while shaking. "Ah Weng is not good, Ah Weng is not good, A Weng carries a big tiger on his back, and a big tiger doesn't cry..."

Sun Luyu lay in Mrs. Bu's arms, looked enviously at Sun Luban riding on Sun Quan's shoulders, and twitched his nose.

"Supreme." The attendant Gu Li trotted all the way to the door, and when he saw Sun Quankang was circling around against his daughter, he quickly stopped in his tracks.

"Ali, what's the matter?" Sun Quan asked while shaking his eyes.Gu Li is Sun Quan's personal courtier. He has followed Sun Quan for many years, and the relationship between the two is very comparable.In the Battle of Hefei last year, Sun Quan was chased by Wei general Zhang Liao in Xiaoyaojin, and he was blocked on a broken bridge, unable to advance or retreat. If Gu Li was not calm, let him take a few steps back first, and then jump over the river at full speed , Sun Quan was caught by Zhang Liao if he couldn't get it right.After returning, Gu Li was granted the title of marquis, but he was still as cautious and docile as before, without any arrogance.Sun Quan never called him by his name, but affectionately called him Ali, just like addressing his family members. Among the people around him, Gu Li could enter the backyard at will.

"Wu Qun Taishou Zhu Jun sent someone to wait in front of the mansion." Gu Li lowered his head, bowed his body, and said humbly.His voice was not too loud, just enough for Sun Quan to hear, but it didn't feel harsh.

"Zhu Zhi?" Sun Quan was stunned for a moment, stopped walking in circles, hesitated for a moment, put down Sun Luban, who was not yet satisfied, nodded apologetically at Mrs. Bu, and strode out the door, walking He asked, "Did you say what happened?"

Gu Li shook his head, and said curiously: "It seems to be related to that person."

Sun Quan stopped in his tracks all of a sudden, his thick eyebrows raised, and a trace of uneasiness welled up in his heart.The last time Sun Shao wrote to ask for a fight, he was sternly rejected, and he taught him a stern lesson. I heard that Sun Shao was so angry that he fell ill. Could it be... His eyes flashed, and he couldn't help feeling a little regretful.He knows Sun Shao's temper, just like his elder brother Sun Ce, he is a little irritable-in fact, this is a common problem of their Sun family, including himself, irritable and can't stand it-this time it won't be out of true anger Bar?Although he was afraid of Sun Shao, but Sun Shao was his brother's only heir. If something happened to Sun Shao, how would he face his brother in a hundred years?

"What's wrong with him?" Sun Quan asked a little uneasy.

"It's nothing." When Gu Li saw Sun Quan's expression, he roughly guessed what Sun Quan was thinking. He had been by Sun Quan's side for many years, and he basically knew Sun Quan's attitude towards Sun Shao like the back of his hand.He said hastily: "It seems that some kind of wine has been made, and Zhu Jun sent someone to deliver it."

"Wine?" Sun Quan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help being a little amused.What's wrong with Sun Shao, he thought he could lead the army with some good wine?This kid is really clueless. I don't want him to lead the army. Is it because he wants to ask for bribes?Zhu Zhi did the same, heckling blindly.Sun Quan shook his head and gave a wry smile.He sat down in the front hall and told Gu Li to call the envoy.Not long after, Ji Yan, holding a celadon altar in one hand, entered the door hurriedly all the way up the steps. As soon as she entered the door, she put down the celadon altar first, leaned on the ground, and reported loudly: "Mr. Cao Liyan, pay homage to the Supreme."

"Jiyan?" Sun Quan's face turned a little bit bad when he heard the name.What's going on with Zhu Zhi, knowing that I don't like this person, but still let him come to Jianye?

"Yes, sir." Jiyan became a little nervous when she heard that Sun Quan's accent was wrong, and replied calmly.

Sun Quan hesitated for a moment. Although he was uncomfortable with Zhu Zhi's arrangement, Zhu Zhi was a veteran after all, so he needed to show some face.He said indifferently: "Get up and answer, why did you come here from Wu this time?"

Ji Yan hurriedly pushed the two celadon altars beside her: "My lord, the Lord of Fu sent me here to present these two altars of wine to your lord."

"Come all the way, just for two jars of wine?"

"My lord, these two jars of wine are not ordinary wine, they are the sharp weapon of the country."

Sun Quan laughed out loud, looked at the celadon altar disdainfully, and looked at Ji Yan with three-point teasing eyes: "Could it be that these two jars of wine can defeat Cao Cao and Liu Bei, and stabilize Jiangdong?"
