Of course, this kind of thought only appeared for a moment, and then he strangled it in his mind.

"Uh, no, no, let's wait..."

Zhou Yu lowered his gaze in embarrassment.

It's not that he has a strong sense of utilitarianism, but he also said when he left Lujiang that it is not too difficult for him to become a general and become a prime minister.

Not to mention that in the Qiao family's gate at the beginning, I also let this sentence out in front of all the members of the Qiao family in Wancheng.

He doesn't have to care about other people's attitudes, but if he is embarrassed in front of his childhood sweetheart, Zhou Yu is still a little reluctant.

You know, people are like this.

Some things often don't attract your attention when you have them all the time, they just make you take them for granted.

But when you really lose these things, people will suddenly realize the importance of these things to themselves.

Zhou Yu has been out for two or three months. During these two or three months, he has seen a lot and thought a lot.

Until now, after getting in touch with the world beyond the well in Jiangdong, Zhou Yu realized how unpleasant his character was before, and he also understood that when he was away from home, a stranger would never be like those gentry children in his hometown. Everything revolves around me, so that I can feel the kind of treatment like stars holding the moon.

After all, this is not Lujiang, but no one will treat him differently just to curry favor with the Zhou family behind him.

Don't talk about others, let's talk about the two thousand sailors under him now. Zhou Yu spent a lot of effort in order to gain their trust.

In the area around Changsha, the soldiers who join the army don't even care whether you are a descendant of the Zhou family. His uncle Dasinong Zhou Zhong's name is probably not as effective as Huang Zu, a third-rate Huang family.

Don't look at those soldiers who obey him now, that's because of Zhou Yu's victories one after another.If it hadn't been for Lian Jie on the Xiangjiang River, the attitude of these soldiers towards him, the airborne leader, would probably not be much better than that of strangers.

Looking away from the distant sky, at this point, Zhou Yu couldn't help feeling a little grateful to Qiao Ying in his heart.

To be honest, although Qiao Ying is not very old, in Zhou Yu's impression, she is probably the only person of his age in Lujiang who is willing to get along with him with a normal heart.

Probably because the Zhou family was really powerful in Lujiang. During the days when Zhou Yu ruled Lujiang, every time he went out, there would be a large number of gentry children around him, and they did not forget to cheer for him at the same time.

Perhaps this kind of applause was very useful to Zhou Yu in the past, but in his eyes now, the behavior of those scholars inevitably gave him a feeling of flattery, which made Zhou Yu faintly feel a little repulsed.

Under such circumstances, Qiao Ying can be said to be the only clear stream in Zhou Yu's life, and even when he thinks about it now, a smile subconsciously rises on the corner of his mouth.

I don't know if it's because the family backgrounds of the two families are closer, or because of some other reasons, but Zhou Yu only thinks that when Qiao Ying got along with him, she never held the attitude of spying on the Zhou family behind him.

Even though the other party was extremely tolerant of Zhou Yu's immaturity, Zhou Yu could feel that the reason why Qiao Ying tolerated her own flaws was not because of how powerful the Zhou family was, but because of Qiao Ying's recognition of Zhou Yu as a person.

This is especially important for Zhou Yu.

……

"Hey, I don't know how that guy is doing now."

……

The sun gradually rose, and the air inside the barracks was no longer as cool as before, but became a bit hot.

Just as Zhou Yu was hesitating, whether he should replace today's soldier strike training with boat maneuvering, a somewhat familiar sound of footsteps sounded from the back of the school field and entered his ears.

"Gongjin! Look what I brought you?"

If you haven't seen him, hear his voice first.

After that somewhat high-spirited and hearty voice came, a faint smile suddenly appeared on Zhou Yu's face.

If there is anyone who is more important to Zhou Yu than Qiao Ying... then I think it is only this person.

"Gongjin! Look what I brought you?"

Zhou Yu turned around and looked back, and suddenly saw a young man who was more than eight feet tall, with a strong and resolute appearance, walking towards him with a big smile.

"Yu met big brother."

After bowing respectfully to the man who came over, Zhou Yu also had a smile on his face.

The person who came was Zhou Yu's righteous brother, the eldest son of Sun Jian, the prefect of Changsha, Sun Ce and Sun Bofu who had the living title of King Xiang.

……

"Brother, today is not a holiday. If you don't go to train the thousands of soldiers in your hands, aren't you afraid that your uncle will trouble you?"

"If uncle hears the news and knows that you are hiding with me again, I won't cover for you again."

Smiling, he greeted Sun Ce. Seeing that the other party seemed to be looking for something to do with him, Zhou Yu waved his hand to let the soldiers below rest first, and then they faced Sun Ce's direction, and the two walked towards the inside of the tent like this. past.

While walking, Zhou Yu didn't forget to turn on the air conditioner and talk to the other party.

"Haha, Gongjin, what are you talking about—"

"I came to see you today, not because I want to be lazy, but because I have business to do!"

Beside Zhou Yu, Sun Ce also laughed, and walked into the camp not far away.

To be honest, Zhou Yu has known Sun Ce for a long time.It's just that if you want to talk about their first encounter, I'm afraid it will go back a few years.

……

A few years ago, Zhou Yu once traveled around Liyang with his servants at home, and met Sun Ce who was showing off his power outside Liyang County. The two immediately hit it off and formed a deep friendship.

Because of Sun Ce's temperament, he has always liked to make friends with powerful men. He was quite amazed by Zhou Yu's talent, and he immediately proposed to sworn brothers with Zhou Yu to become brothers of the opposite sex.

It can be said that Sun Ce was the only one of Zhou Yu's peers who treated him with such courtesy. In this regard, even Sun Quan, the founding monarch of Wu later, never did this.

Afterwards, the relationship between the two people who were the same age, ambitious and outstanding, became better and better through constant contact, and finally developed to the point where they are like brothers and sisters like they are now.

If it follows the normal historical development, when Sun Jian goes north to attack Dong Zhuo in the future, Sun Ce will follow his mother to live in Shu County, Lujiang, where Zhou Yu's family is located. Zhou Yu will also lend his ancestral house to the other party to show his respect for Sun Ce. tribute.

Even in the first year of Xingping, that is, in 196 A.D., when Sun Ce lost his hand in Danyang, and hundreds of recruits under him were defeated by Shanyue leader Zu Lang, it was Zhou Yu who begged his uncle Zhou Shang to let the then Danyang Zhou Shang, the prefect, came forward to help recruit soldiers, barely saving Sun Ce's face.

Of course, it was not without reason that Zhou Yu was so devoted to Sun Ce.

Unlike those sons of aristocratic families, Sun Ce, whose father was from the military and who is extremely brave and skilled in combat, has always been a straightforward person, the kind who speaks directly and does what he says.

Coincidentally, what Zhou Yu, who was born in a wealthy family in Lujiang, likes the other person's character the most, and feels that when he is in contact with Sun Ce, it is like fish getting water and birds getting breeze. Life at home is more comfortable.

In addition, Sun Ce treated Zhou Yu very well, and when Zhou Yu came to join him this time, he recommended Sun Jian's talents to Sun Jian, and even helped Zhou Yu get a job training sailors as soon as he came to Changsha...

From this point of view, it can be said that Zhou Yu treats Sun Ce with such respect now.

At that moment, the two walked into the tent one after the other, and Sun Ce sat on the main seat carelessly.

Then, shortly after Zhou Yu took his seat, Sun Ce threw a package in his hand towards his brother-in-law as if showing off.

……

"Hey, Gongjin, guess what's inside?"

Throwing the package with a smile, Sun Ce didn't care much at the moment, and just took a big mouthful of tea.Then he turned his funny eyes to Zhou Yu's direction.

As for Zhou Yu, she naturally took the package with her lips pursed, with a suspicious look on her face.

"This thing... is for me?"

Curiously, he weighed the package in his hands, but Zhou Yu opened it in front of Sun Ce without asking any further questions.

The simple button was dismantled in twos and twos, and soon, a tightly closed bamboo tube appeared in Zhou Yu's sight.

"Er...Brother, what you said today was looking for me because you wanted to deliver a letter to me?"

Somewhat helplessly, Zhou Yu gave Sun Ce a blank look. The first time he saw the bamboo tube, Zhou Yu recognized it.

According to the habit of the Jiangdong gentry, the package is protected layer by layer. Naturally, it cannot be something like bamboo tube rice, but a package sealed with bamboo tube and beeswax, which can ensure that it will not be damaged, let alone be stolen. A caring person peeks at the contents of the family letter.

Looking at the six big characters carved with a big knife under the bamboo tube, Zhou Yu couldn't help feeling a little emotional. Sometimes people's encounters are really coincidences, and often what happens in the heart will happen in reality.

Just now, he was on the military training ground, and he was still thinking about the days when he lived in Lujiang. As a result, before half an hour had passed, the letter from Lujiang's family was delivered to him like this.

……

"Oh, this is really... a coincidence."

"But it's okay, I have been away from home for two or three months this time, and I don't know how the situation at home is now."

"When the book arrived this time, it was a pleasant surprise, and it relieved a lot of worries in my heart."

Inevitably, there was a trace of emotion in his heart. At this moment, Zhou Yu was looking at the bamboo "envelope" in his hand in a daze, stroking the traces of knife cutting on the "envelope", as if seeing his uncle Zhou Zhongzheng sternly holding the envelope. It looks like the carving knife is relatively close to the bamboo tube.

His eyes gradually focused on the wax seal of the bamboo tube, and the corners of Zhou Yu's mouth subconsciously rose.

Seriously, he's been away from home for a long time.

Ever since Zhou Yu could remember, he had never lived alone in Lujiang for such a long time.

Now that he received a letter from his uncle Zhou Zhong, Zhou Yu couldn't help feeling a little impatient.

"I don't know... Uncle, what will he say?"

Smiling, he took down the saber from his waist, and in the blink of an eye, Zhou Yu cut off the top of the bamboo tube, and then poured out the two scrolls, one large and one small, from the bamboo tube.

Chapter 3 Waiting for the Chinese New Year, go back and have a look

"Here, Gongjin, let's take a look first. If I remember correctly, you haven't contacted your family for some days."

"Just now, when I was passing by the camp of the Chinese army, I happened to meet a foreign businessman from your Zhou family who came to deliver a letter, and was killed by my father's soldiers."

"Today, my father asked me to come and find you to meet him, so I brought you this letter along with me."

Smiling and waving to Zhou Yu, Sun Ce looked carefree at the moment, but he just gave him instructions, then turned around and walked out of the tent, leaving a relatively private space for Zhou Yu.

Although he has a very good relationship with the other party, such things as family letters are more or less special. It would be inappropriate for Sun Ce to stay here all the time.

On the other side, Zhou Yu saluted Sun Ce with a smile, and then picked up the large and small pieces of paper on the table without being too polite, and began to read.

……

"Seeing the words is like meeting, unfolding the scroll to make you look good."

"It's been a long time since I've seen it, and the prayer beads are on my hands."

It is still the familiar opening line of the letter. In the short sixteen characters, it contains the heritage of the Jiangdong Zhou family that has been passed down for hundreds of years. A sense of style and elegance.

As for Zhou Yu, he didn't pay attention to the familiar beginning, but quickly looked in the direction of the text.
