When the carriage drove to the gate of the city, the guards who had already prepared quickly handed over the identity certificates of the two people in the carriage, and let them enter Wancheng.

……

"Identity certificate? Hehe, it's interesting..."

"Cer, take your share too, let me have a look."

……

On the carriage, in the huge space, there are only two men sitting upright at the moment, one old and one young.Both of them were wearing armor. Although they didn't wear helmets on their heads, they had swords on their waists. They looked like battle-tested generals.

Let's say that the older man, even though he was sitting in the carriage at the moment, was walking in a straight posture, with his waist straight, and he didn't look limp at all. He was exactly the Wu Chenghou that the guard said Sun Jian, the prefect of Changsha, was not a strong man before Zhang Yan who was awarded an honor for his martial arts.

As for the young man in front of him, whom he loves to call "Ce'er", he is naturally his eldest son, who is 15 years old this year and will soon be crowned as an adult Sun Ce.

Today, these two people drove all the way from Changsha County in a carriage, of course not for the simple purpose of simply declaring two identity certificates for themselves.

Just three days ago, Sun Jian received an invitation from Zhang Yan, the prefect of Lujiang, a prince from the north, saying that he would hold a military exercise and military parade in Lujiang, and invited him to go and have a look.

Originally, according to Sun Jian's temperament, he would be a little dismissive of such things.After all, something went wrong in Changsha County in the past two days, which caused the price of grain in the county to soar, and even he was too busy to eat.

However, considering that the other party also said that he wanted to discuss something with him face to face... plus Sun Jian is usually not good at anything else, so he is only interested in things like this army formation...

After thinking about it, he agreed to talk about it.

Lujiang, he is very familiar with it.

In the early years, the Jiangxia barbarians in the south could not find the north, and then the Shanyue barbarians in the east controlled the lifeline. Even the aristocratic families in the county had to make offerings to the Shanyue bandits every now and then. Otherwise, they would be so blocked that they would not even be able to get out the door.

Even the Dahuqiao family, one of the best in their county, was forced to have no choice but to send someone to Changsha to marry him. After Sun Jian knew about this, he was still speechless for a long time.

However, the times are also developing. It has been almost ten years since Jiang Xiaman's incident at the beginning, and the Lujiang prefect does not know how many times he has changed.

For example, the most recent prefect Zhang only took office at the beginning of spring last year. Honestly speaking, it has been less than two years.

And in the past two years, Lujiang was able to cultivate an army from nothing?

Sun Jian didn't believe it.

He has been through battle for a long time, but he wants to take a look. There are some interesting things in this Lujiang people's military parade.

On the other hand, his eldest son, Sun Ce, is simply an addition.

It's just that Sun Jian wanted Sun Ce to inherit his mantle, so he would take this guy with him wherever he went.

……

In ancient times, such as inviting others to visit one's own residence as a guest, it was rare to involve the other party's wife and children, mainly because doing so somewhat meant inviting the king into the urn, and it was easy to be suspected by the other party. Even misunderstood.

But on this point, Sun Jian has nothing to do with it.

His eldest son, Sun Ce, may not have learned anything from him elsewhere, but he has learned a lot about this martial art.

Back then, when Sun Jian was just 15 years old, he didn't dare to say that he could go out to lead troops to fight and make meritorious deeds.But now Sun Ce not only leads troops under him, trains troops, and helps him suppress bandits, but also has practiced a long weapon, the Overlord Spear, which really makes him a little envious of his own father.

One must know that this Overlord Spear is a ancestral skill of his grandson's family. Once practiced, the whole body's aura will be integrated into one, brave and domineering, and it is the only martial skill in fighting on the battlefield.

It's just a pity that Sun Jian's martial arts talent seems to be a little bit off. Basically, he only learned a little about what was handed down from his ancestors. On the contrary, he relied on his domineering temperament to use a good knife.

With his ancient ingot knife, he turned the horse bandits hundreds of miles north and south of Changsha to their backs, and also cut for him the immortal foundation that was later enshrined as a marquis and general.

If it weren't for being really uncomfortable with guns...

Thinking of this, Sun Jian suddenly sighed, and then took away his son Sun Ce's certificate.

……

"Hmm, Class B certificate? Speaking of it, it seems that only Gong Jin's is Class A, maybe because his hometown is here or something."

"By the way, Ce'er, I haven't seen your foster brother for a while, how is he doing recently?"

"During the Chinese New Year last time, he went home once, and he never saw him again, right?"

……

After briefly glancing at the words on the certificate, Sun Jian suddenly remembered something, and then asked Sun Ce in front of him.

"Indeed."

"Gongjin...he's not in a good mood recently, it seems that he went to the north to train."

"When I corresponded with him last time, it seemed that he was going to join the army to seek rebellion? I don't know the specifics, but it seems that there have been some emotional problems recently and he has been hit hard."

In front of Sun Jian, Sun Ce nodded, then frowned and said.

……

Of course, Sun Ce is very clear about Zhou Yu's matter. Whether it is the reason for leaving home at the beginning, or after returning to Lujiang, he fell into a slump and almost lost contact, and finally went to Luoyang in the north. He is very clear about these things.

After all, in this day and age, the relationship between a brother-in-law is sometimes closer than that of a real brother. Zhou Yu has some things and ideas, even if he can't tell his parents, relatives and friends, he will tell him.

For this kind of thing that happened to his good brother... To be honest, Sun Ce is somewhat contemptuous and helpless.

In his opinion, Zhou Yu and the other party were made in heaven, and they were an excellent couple.Now that a monster suddenly appeared out of nowhere, even if this kind of thing happened to anyone, it would be a bit unacceptable.

In addition, Zhou Yu is younger than him, so it is normal to be hit by this.

……

"Join the army? Hehe, it's good to join the army!"

"I think I also signed up to join the army to suppress bandits at the beginning, and then I fought with a knife and a gun to get to where I am today. A man doesn't think about serving the country all day long, but thinks about those useless things, what does it look like!"

"What is there to say about feelings, money, women, and even status, these things will be obtained by you because of your strength. When you have strength and achievements, the good women in the world are not for you to choose ?”

……

"You said he's not in a good mood recently, and he's a little frustrated. You're talking about the little daughter of the Qiao family, right?"

"Hmph, isn't this thing too common!"

"Ce'er, you can't be like your righteous brother. If Gongjin is in a bad mood because of this kind of thing, then I really think highly of him!"

Moaning and chirping at Sun Ce, when Sun Jian heard him say that Zhou Yu was in a bad mood, he shook his head as if he had heard some joke.

Afterwards, he put all the things in his hands aside, and at the same time looked out of the window with some disdain.

……

"This……"

"Yes, father, I see."

……

He nodded silently to Sun Jian, but Sun Ce's mood was not too high at this time.

If you don't care about this kind of thing, you don't care... How is this possible?

Zhou Yu is his adopted brother, and with this kind of relationship, it is considered good for him not to trouble the eunuch.

The other party took away Zhou Yu's wife. No matter who is right or wrong in this matter, you Mr. Zhang don't look like a good person, do you?

Sighing silently, now that Sun Jian is here, Sun Ce naturally dare not say anything more.

But he was not in a hurry, this time he followed Sun Jian to meet the prefect Zhang Yan, and there were still many opportunities to meet him.

It's fine if the other party is honest, but if this person makes him catch something...

"Hum..."

Humming softly, Sun Ce secretly clenched his fists.

At his age, brotherhood is very important.In terms of emotion and reason, it is impossible for him to pretend that he did not see this matter.

……

"Okay, Ce'er, you don't need to think too much. With this time, you might as well think about what will happen after you and the crown."

"In half a year's time, you will have your coming-of-age ceremony. At that time, the marriage I begged for you will also be arranged together."

"When you get married, you should be more prudent in doing things in the future."

"If Gongjin can get out of this matter, then he is still a man. If this kind of thing can make him depressed, you'd better not have more contact with him in the future. It won't do you any good .”

Seeing Sun Ce's worried look, Sun Jian also felt a little helpless.

But he also came from this age, so it's not easy to say more.

After instructing the other party a few words casually, he looked at the scenery outside the car window not far away.

……

"My lord, where shall we go now?"

……

"Let's find a place to live first... I remember that there is a post house opened by the Qiao family near the north of the city. It should have the best conditions in Wancheng. Let's arrange to move in first, and then think about other things."

"This Lujiang River is not our own territory. You should be careful what you say on weekdays, and don't just talk about it. That Zhang Yan was only in his 20s was able to reach this position. Let's not talk about his background for the time being. This person is certainly not as simple as many people think."

……

Hearing the voice of the groom outside the door, Sun Jian subconsciously responded.

Afterwards, he realized that something was wrong.

——Normally speaking, when an official of his level visits someone else's territory, he must go to the other party's house to pay a formal visit immediately.

As long as the other party's relationship with him is not too bad, the other party will also try to persuade him to stay and provide him with a place to stay. This is almost like an unspoken rule.

It was just because of the relationship between Sun Ce and Zhou Yu that Sun Jian didn't choose to go to the other party's house to pay a visit after thinking it over and over again.

If the other party left him to stay overnight in the mansion, then according to Sun Ce's character of a brat, he wouldn't be his son if he didn't make some fools.

It's just that now... I choose to stay at the local Qiao's inn. Isn't that telling the other party that I have already arrived in Wancheng and I have no intention of visiting?

This is provocative...

After all, the Qiao family is also his in-laws' family, and they live in the same place as him... If you say that there is no relationship between these two families, Sun Jian would not believe it.

When I entered the post house of the Qiao family, I am afraid that I will also be under the surveillance of the other party.

……

"What? You said that Sun Jian, the prefect of Changsha, has already arrived in Wancheng, and he is still searching all over the streets for post houses that have nothing to do with me as a place to live?"

"It's strange, why didn't he come to me directly... Now the posthouses in Wancheng are either my property or the Qiao family's property. If he finds such a way, I'm afraid he will find it tomorrow morning. .”
