The Three Kingdoms Voyage

Chapter 44 Dilemma
Jiyan smiled slightly. The tension when he first met Sun Quan had eased a lot. He articulated the origin of the two jars of wine, the process and results of the experiment, and before he finished speaking, Sun Quan had already put away his smile. , looking at the two jars of wine steadily, he lifted his body from his heels and leaned forward slightly, his voice became a little trembling with excitement.

"You mean, these two jars of wine can help heal?"

Ji Yan nodded affirmatively: "Exactly, my subordinates have done experiments in Wu County Prison, it's absolutely true."

"Okay, good stuff." Sun Quan didn't care about his own reserve, ran up to it, picked up a celadon altar, and couldn't put it down.He is a smart man, if this wine can effectively reduce the death rate of the wounded, then to him, this is a treasure.What is Jiangdong lacking the most?They are human beings and strong soldiers. During these years of fighting, many soldiers died in the battle, but there are not a few people who died after being injured because their wounds could not heal. Zhou Yu died of injuries that could not heal for a long time, which made his plan to expedition to Bashu aborted halfway, so that Liu Bei later took advantage of the loopholes. Last year, in the battle of Hefei, Chen Wu died of serious injuries, and Ling Tong almost died. Forty to fifty percent of the deaths in World War I were due to injuries.The harm of a wound that does not heal for a long time is no less than that of a fight on the battlefield.

After being agitated for a while, Sun Quan quickly calmed down and sat down again. Looking at Ji Yan who was still kneeling on the ground, he waved his hand and told him to get up and answer.Jiyan let out a sigh of relief, and rushed all the way from Wu County, the car was bumpy, and his knees were already swollen again, excruciatingly painful.

"Since you are responsible for this matter, you should stay in Jianye for a few days and try again." Sun Quan waved his hands expressionlessly, and without giving Ji Yan any chance to explain, he was taken away. .Ji Yan was not in a hurry, if he could stay in Jianye, he would have a chance. Anyway, the effect of this wine had been verified in Wu County. Although he didn't see Sun Quan's expression just now, from his tone, he He could hear the importance of this wine. If the matter was done, he would definitely be rewarded, and it was not impossible to stay in Jianye as an official.

Sun Quan sat there alone, his eyes flickering, and he stroked his purple beard in silence.If this wine is really useful, then Ji Yan has merit, Zhu Zhi has merit, and Sun Shao has merit, so how should I arrange him?Sun Shao wanted to lead soldiers wholeheartedly, but he must not let him lead this soldier.Sun Quan is not good at fighting by himself, but he has a good understanding of people. He knows that Sun Shao is not only excellent in martial arts, but also has a talent for using soldiers. This is inherited from his father Sun Ce. , I'm afraid it may not be a good thing for myself.It seems unreasonable not to reward those who have made meritorious deeds. All these years he has been suppressing Sun Shao, whether it is the clan or his elder brother's former generals, they are all a little dissatisfied, and they are all covered up by him with the reason of protecting Sun Shao.What should we do this time?
Sun Quan never thought of a good idea, so he had to put this matter aside for the time being.Three days later, he got the accurate news that what Jiyan said was true, and that the new wine made by Sun Shao was really useful for wound healing.While Sun Quan was overjoyed, he felt that it was difficult to deal with it. He called Ji Yan and asked Sun Shao about his recent situation in detail.Ji Yan had expected this before he came, and he specifically inquired about Sun Shao's situation, but firstly, the time was short, and secondly, Sun Shao hadn't had anything to do recently, so he really couldn't say anything.

"My lord, I don't have much contact with Sun Shao, so I know very little. It is said that Zhou Xun, the young lord of the Zhou Mansion, has a close relationship with him. Zhou Xun's family should be arriving in Jianye soon. Why hasn't your lord asked him in detail?"

Sun Quan was taken aback for a moment, a warm light suddenly appeared in his eyes, and then he concealed it very well.He nodded and thought for a while: "You have done a good job this time, don't go back to Wu County, just stay in the mansion."

"Here." Jiyan was overjoyed, and hurriedly kowtowed in thanks.He originally only wanted to stay in Jianye, but he did not expect to enter the shogunate.

After Jiyan left, Sun Quan asked Gu Li, "Where is Zhou Xun's family?"

Gu Li replied: "The person who came yesterday said that he has already arrived in Jurong, and he should be able to arrive by the end of the day."

"Send someone to guard it, and let them have an audience when they come."

"Here."

When night fell, Zhou's long motorcade drove slowly into the Dahang Gate, the small bridge lifted the car curtain, looked at the faint city gate in the distance, and breathed a long sigh of relief. "It's finally here. I'm exhausted from this journey. Ayu, I can finally sleep peacefully today."

Zhou Yu rested his chin and replied feebly, obviously a little distracted.

"Ayu—" Xiaoqiao elongated his voice, and gently pushed Zhou Yu's shoulder.Zhou Yu was startled, and only then came back to his senses, met Xiaoqiao's reproachful eyes, blushed, and asked guiltily, "Aunt, are you here?"

"The person has arrived, but the heart doesn't know where it is."

"Mum—" Zhou Yu coquettishly shook Xiaoqiao's arm, blushing to the point of bleeding.

"Silly boy, I asked you to marry him before, but you cried and shouted not to marry him. Now that you have left, you are panicking." Xiaoqiao lovingly pinched Zhou Yu's obviously thin cheeks, and said with a smile: " Is it a bit late?"

"Mum, he used to..." Zhou Yu stuck out his tongue and lowered his head, his voice was as low as a mosquito: "He is different now."

"What's the difference? Isn't it just that you can play a few songs, cook some dishes, and cook some porridge? With this little ability, you won the heart of Ayu'er, who has eyes above the top of my family?"

"Grandmother, I don't agree." Zhou Yu pouted and looked at Xiaoqiao angrily. Just as he was about to say more, Zhou Xun's quiet voice came from outside: "Grandmother, the Supreme has sent someone to ask us to visit the mansion immediately."

Xiaoqiao was taken aback, and the smile on her face disappeared immediately. She and Zhou Yu, who was equally astonished, glanced at each other, and said after a moment of hesitation: "In this case, there must be something. Let's go back to the house and pack up."

"Here." The curtain of the car was opened, Zhou Xunhe had just arrived at Zhou Yin, one left and one right, and got out of the car with the help of the small bridge. The family looked at each other, and they could see surprise in each other's eyes. Sun Quan Is it because of nostalgia for Zhou Yu's old relationship that they rushed to summon them, or is there another reason?
"By the order of the Supreme Being, I am waiting for Madam and the Young Master here." Hu Zong greeted him with a smile: "Madam, please get in the car."

"Your Majesty is concerned, and the concubine's family is very grateful." Xiaoqiao bowed and saluted. Although Hu Zong's official position is not high, he is a close minister of Sun Quan, and he cannot be neglected: "My lord, I am grateful."

Hu Zong hurriedly returned the salute. Although he didn't know why Sun Quan was in such a hurry to summon Zhou Xun's family, it certainly wouldn't be a bad thing. Zhou Yu's help to Sun Quan was too great. This time Zhou Xun was going to attack soldiers, and Sun Quan specially gave Zhou Xun The family arranged a big house, which is unmatched by any of the Jiangdong ministers.Zhou Xun became famous at a young age, and I heard that he is quite like Zhou Yu, and he will definitely be Jiangdong's important minister in the future. At this time, it is almost reasonable to use condoms.

Under Hu Zong's attentive leadership, Xiaoqiao's family entered the city and came to the Mansion of General Cheqi. Gu Li was waiting outside the door and welcomed them in. Sun Quan was waiting in the hall. Sun Quan's eyes lighted up at the small bridge that could not conceal its peerless beauty, and he almost ignored Zhou Xun's brother Zhou Xun, who was beside her in a jade tree and facing the wind. In a daze, he seemed to see another person bowing to him.

"Therefore, General Yu is still alive, and my concubine, Qiaoshi, pays my respects to the Supreme."
