Smiling and talking to Sun Jian, Zhang Yan looked calm at the moment.

After hearing this, Sun Jian turned his head and glanced at Sun Ce in some embarrassment. Seeing that he was blushing and unrepentant, he hesitated for a long time, then cupped his hands in the direction of Zhang Yan again, and then said:

……

"That's fine, since that's the case, then I'll thank the Marquis of Wan first."

……

"Oh, that's all, that's all, Ce'er is so stubborn now, and sooner or later something big will happen to him. It's better to let him suffer a loss and make a fool of himself here today, which can be regarded as improving his memory."

"Now I'm still here to support him. At the most, I will give the Marquis of Wan some benefits... It's better than waiting for me to go away. This kid will suffer a lot from outsiders."

……

Silently thinking in his heart, Sun Jian looked at Zhang Yan with a little more kindness in his eyes.

He is not a ten-year-old young man like Sun Ce, so it is natural to see that Zhang Yan deliberately said so today.

Otherwise, just pretend not to see it at the very beginning, isn't that all right?

Thinking of this, Sun Jian simply stopped telling Sun Ce some things.

He turned around and looked at Zhang Yan. After receiving an encouraging look from Zhang Yan, he simply took two steps back and pulled Sun Ce over.

"You bastard, hurry up!"

……

……

……

"Marquis Wan, I just want to ask you something today."

Standing in front of Zhang Yan again, this time, with the other party's consent, Sun Ce was not in a hurry, but took a deep breath, and then asked Zhang Yan:

"Marquis of the Kingdom of Wan, do you know a scholar named Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin from Lujiang?"

……

"Zhou Yu? Of course I recognize it."

When the other party mentioned Zhou Yu, Zhang Yan also smiled, and then replied calmly.

"I am the prefect of Lujiang appointed by His Majesty. I don't say I know [-]% of the big and small families in Lujiang, but at least [-]% of them."

"The Zhou family where Zhou Yu belongs to is one of the most wealthy families in Lujiang and Shu County. Many children in the family work in my house. Even Zhou Zhong, the head of the Zhou family, has a very close relationship with me. Well, Zhou Yu, how could I not recognize him?"

With one hand on his chin, Zhang Yan sat behind the table like this, looking at Sun Ce in front of him with great interest, wanting to see if his next sentence was what he guessed.

……

"Okay, since you recognize him, don't you feel any guilt towards Gongjin?!"

Sure enough, in front of all the eunuchs present, Sun Ce's next words almost made Zhang Yan's goosebumps fall from embarrassment.

……

Look, look at what others said, it was a statement of guilt, as if Zhang Yan owed Zhou Yu something.

It's just that Zhang Yan is not a child anymore...and neither are everyone present.Everyone is naturally indifferent to this kind of talk among young people.

I saw those prefects from all over the place watching their noses and noses and their hearts one by one, as if they didn't hear the conversation between the two at all, and there was no reaction at all.

As for Sun Ce's expectation in his heart, the astonishment of the people present, and even the change of attitude towards Zhang Yan, is naturally impossible to talk about.

……

"Hehe, look at what you said. I have never met him, but I heard his uncle Zhou Zhong mentioned it twice in his spare time. Since it has nothing to do with it, why should I feel guilty for a scholar who has never met before?" heart of?"

Responding to Sun Ce with a smile again, Zhang Yan had faintly sensed the other party's unique way of thinking of young people, and began to intentionally guide it in a direction that suits him.

Sun Ce was different from Zhou Yu. There was no fundamental conflict between Zhang Yan and him, and he had special demands on Sun Jian. Therefore, if he could help Sun Ce, he would not mind saying a few more words.

"of course!"

"Of course it's because..."

……

"Of course it's because I, Ming Media, is marrying the woman he likes. This has hit him hard. He doesn't think about food, sleepless nights, and chooses to stay away from home and go north alone with the help of your righteous brother."

"Sun Bofu, am I right?"

……

Smiling and winking at the girl behind him, Zhang Yan finally fixed his eyes on Sun Ce's face after receiving a small movement from the other party on his waist.

And Zhang Yan's straightforwardness about this matter also surprised Sun Ce, and he didn't know how to speak for a while.

……

"Hehe, why don't you speak... If you don't speak, then I will assume that I guessed it right."

Reaching out his hand to take a dried longan, that is, longan from the table, Zhang Yan gently squeezed the longan's coat, and then stuffed the firm flesh inside into his mouth.

Then, seeing that Sun Ce was still hesitant to speak, he sighed:

"You don't think I will keep silent about this matter for the sake of face, or just pretend not to know?"

"On the contrary, not only did I know about Zhou Yu, but he returned to his hometown from you at the end of last year for the New Year. I knew it as soon as he entered Lujiang. Come on, I know everything."

"I don't have anything to hide from you about his existence."

……

"To tell you the truth, since I knew your identity, I have understood your reason for coming. It is nothing more than the feeling that I robbed your brother's beloved girl, and you want to save him some face."

"But to be honest, whether I feel guilty towards him depends on whether I am sorry for him. If there is no relationship between me and him at all, then let alone guilt, he just died outside and had nothing to do with me. What are you doing?"

He spoke to Sun Ce word by word, maybe Zhang Yan's words were a little heavy, and it was obvious that Sun Ce's breathing became a little rough.

"How can you say it has nothing to do with him?"

"You just said clearly yourself that you married the woman he loves, and you still do it knowingly, don't you feel ashamed?"

Some angrily questioned Zhang Yan, and Sun Ce couldn't even turn his head for a while.

……

"Please..."

"I married the woman he liked, not the woman he was in love with..."

If the words just now just made Sun Ce's heart beat faster, then the following "monsters and ghosts" words with guns and sticks actually made Sun Ce's face turn pale.

"In the end, who he likes has nothing to do with me, and who I like has nothing to do with you."

"Young Master Sun, think about it clearly, Ying'er is my wife who Mingmei is currently marrying, so how can it be the turn of other monsters to dictate?"

……

"Demons and ghosts...how dare you call me a ghost and ghosts?"

……

Seeing that the other party wanted to say something but didn't know where to start, Zhang Yan knew that his idea had mostly succeeded.

A crack appeared in Sun Ce's previous questioning of himself, which made him fall into a vicious circle of self-doubt.

Next, as long as you use real things to convince the other party, then when Sun Ce looks back in the future, he will definitely have new insights into what he said today.

Not to mention making the other party's plan to attack Lujiang in the future because of this, but just leaving a different impression, Zhang Yan felt that his words were quite worthwhile.

……

"Young Master Sun, no matter what you think in your heart now, just remember one thing—"

"It's your heart that decides what you want to do, and it's something very different that determines whether you actually want to do it."

"It's like I want to marry Ying'er, and you want to question me on behalf of your brother Zhou Yu today. These are all born out of our inner thoughts, but whether we want to do it depends on whether these actions are in line with loyalty. , in line with enlightenment, and in line with our etiquette, integrity and shame as human beings."

"I married Ying'er. I am a fair lady and a gentleman. This is human nature, and I have never done anything to force the will of others. This is my human nature... What about you?"

"Young Master Sun, you want to stand up for your brother today out of passion, but you question my behavior, you question the legitimacy of a married man who has been married to his wife, is this proper?"

……

"Don't say it's you, Mr. Sun, even if Zhou Yu came to stand in front of me in person today, just take a look, is it I who feel ashamed, or is he ashamed?"

"Although your behavior seems to be brotherly, but after breaking away from the restrictions of reason and etiquette, it is no different from those bandits and bandits."

……

In the end, Zhang Yan made a conclusion to Sun Ce, and then Zhang Yan ignored him, but silently ate the snacks on the table.

As for Sun Ce, it was only after counting breaths that he would react.

……

"It's nonsense, it's all nonsense!"

……

Some angry, some waved his hands in confusion, Sun Ce didn't say much, but turned around and rushed out of the hall as if he had been greatly humiliated.

Seeing this, Sun Jian let out a long sigh, and then looked in Zhang Yan's direction.

……

"Marquis of the Kingdom of Wan, I was so rude just now, please forgive me."

"Ce'er...isn't usually like that, it's just that he has a close relationship with that Zhou family's brother Erlang, which offends him."

"For today's matter, my grandson's family owes the Marquis of Wan a favor. If there is an opportunity in the future... no, tomorrow! I will definitely pay a visit tomorrow. If the Marquis of Wan has someone who can use my grandson's family Even if you speak bluntly, I, Sun Jian, will never refuse!"

……

After bowing respectfully to Zhang Yan, Sun Jian left in a hurry, not even intending to attend the banquet that had been set before.

But Zhang Yan did not keep him:

He is very clear that Sun Ce is now at a very critical stage, let him calm down, and then under the guidance of Sun Jian as a father, he will surely recover soon.

Turning around and taking a look at the people around, Zhang Yan noticed that the atmosphere in the world gradually became lively again after Sun Ce and Sun Jian's father and son left, and they were no longer as silent as before.

Just looking in the direction of the door in the distance, he was not sure whether he should do what he did today.
