Beauty And Heroes Chapter 13

Gongjin had been defeated in the South Prefecture and was poisoned by the arrows. He knew that he did not have much time left, so he sent Lu Su to try to take back Jing Zhou. Seeing that they were not willing to returned it, he wanted to deceive them. After hearing that Liu Bei's wife had died, he decided to marry Sun Shangxiang to Liu Bei and send Lv Fan as his Envoy.

"Master, Dong Wu's Envoy, Lv Fan, requests an audience."

Liu Bei asked suspiciously, "What is he doing here?" "I'm afraid that he's the Dong Wu's lobbyist. No matter what he says, you will first agree to it, and then we can discuss."

Lv Fan chuckled as he entered, and asked: "Royal Uncle, my master, the Marquis of Wu greets Royal Uncle." Liu Bei politely made way, "Ziheng, please take a seat. Does Ziheng have any news?"

Lv Fan revealed his purpose for coming, "I am here to congratulate royal uncle! Marquis of Wu heard that Royal Uncle had just widowed and wanted to betroth his little sister to Royal Uncle! "

Liu Bei refused: "No, at my age, how could I be worthy of the young sister from Marquis of Wu?"

"Royal Uncle, age has never been an obstacle to marriage. The key is to be the perfect match. My lord still wants to continue protecting the Sun Liu Alliance."

Since he could not decline, Liu Bei could only agree, "Then let me think about it, I will definitely give you a reply within a few days."

"Yes, your servant will return to report first."

He hid behind the screen and smiled, "Congratulations, my lord. My lady." Although Liu Bei wanted to marry a beauty of such a young age, he was also worried that the Dong Wu would succeed in his scheme, "Master, isn't this Zhou Yu's scheme?"

Kongming shook his fan gently as he continued to think, "I already have a way to ensure that Master both has the wife and can ensure that Jing Zhou will be safe."

"Advisor, I'm serious!"

"Of course, I will have Sun Gan carry this out immediately." Under the orders of the Military Advisor, Sun Gan followed Lv Fan to the Dong Wu. Seeing Sun Quan, Sun Gan expressed that he was happy to accept the marriage and decided to marry him one day in the Dong Wu.

"My lord need not worry, Liang has already made up his mind on a plan. General Zhao will go with him and follow the three plans Liang had prepared beforehand."

Liu Bei looked at the window thoughtfully, this trip to the Dong Wu was definitely dangerous, he hoped that he could escape safely, and that it would be best to hold the beauty in his arms. If not, then he himself would be …

Liu Bei happily boarded the boat to the Dong Wu, and when they were close to the river bank, he said, "Look, my wedding to the Dong Wu only has a few guests, there must be something fishy about it.

Zilong then opened the first brocade sack, "Master, in a while, when you reach shore, you will need to unrestrainedly collect makeup, cloth, tea, etc.

As the soldiers scattered the copper coins along the way, they said, "Emperor's Uncle Liu is going to be married to Marquis of Wu's sister, this is uncle's reward!" — — This was made known to the citizens of Nanxu, and even the citizens of Jian Kang.

At this time, everyone in the Dong Wu knew about it. Little Sister Sun had also heard the rumours about them being caught in the shadows.

"Zixuan greets the princess." Zixuan was dressed in blue, her face was pretty and valiant. Her skinny body seemed to stand out even more against her clothes.

"Zixuan, I believe you already know about it." Sun Shangxiang was dressed in a light pink jacket, making her look cute and charming.

"Second Brother is using my marriage to make a deal. No way, I have to go find him." There was no point in trying to reason with Sun Quan. He had already gambled everything on this, how could he listen to his sister's words?

"Princess, don't worry. I have three tricks up my sleeve, for you to choose."

"Which three?"

He paced around the great hall, speaking neither slowly nor slowly, "The scheme is that the princess will force her into a corner with her death. The lord definitely won't bear to let her die.

The princess could escape from the Jiang Dong and leave everything behind. After a few years, she could return.

We will look for Emperor's Mother Wu and let him be our master. Empress Dowager dotes on the princess and even Master doesn't dare to go against the rules. Zixuan offered three strategies to the princess, one for each of them, so the princess can choose her own. "

Sun Shangxiang thought for a while, then said: "Alright, let's go look for Empress Dowager." With that, Sun Shangxiang and Zixuan came to Empress Dowager, "Mother." When they saw Emperor's Mother Wu Sun Shangxiang cry silently in their mother's arms.

When Emperor's Mother Wu saw his precious daughter, he was very happy. "My daughter, why are you crying so bitterly?"

The little sister came out to see the situation, "Mother, big brother and Zhou Yu did not hesitate to use my marriage as bait to trick Liu Bei into falling for the sake of getting the Jing Zhou back. Now that Liu Bei is here, do you really want me to marry him?"

The more Empress Dowager heard, the more confused he became. He could not help but ask, "Wait, who did you hear that from?"

Little Sister said, "Everyone in the Jian Kang knows about it now."

After the Empress Dowager heard this, he flew into a rage, "Men, call Sun Quan over."

"Okay."

Marquis of Wu came here very quickly. He was very filial, but when he saw his little sister crying at the side, he understood and asked in a small voice, "Mother, why did you call me here?"

Empress Dowager snappily said: "Do you still have a mother like me in your eyes?"

"Child, fear." As he spoke, he knelt in front of his mother. His mother was a pitiful woman, a young bereaved husband. Later on, her eldest son also passed away, leaving behind only a pair of children.

Marquis of Wu did not dare speak loudly, he lowered his head, and lightly glanced at his mother from time to time, like a child who had made a mistake, "Mother, this is just Gongjin's plan, that's all."

"What plan?"

"Gongjin only wanted to trick Liu Bei into coming here so that Zhuge Liang could use the Jing Zhou to exchange. He did not sincerely want to marry Little Sister to him, mother, please rest assured, I will not marry Little Sister to that person."

After the Empress Dowager heard this, he even scolded Zhou Yu together, "Zhou Yu is incompetent, he actually used my daughter as bait. With the current storm in the city, if I were to kill him, wouldn't my daughter become a widow?!"

"This … this …" Marquis of Wu knew that he was at a loss for words, "Mother, since you've already come this far, you can only take Liu Bei as your son-in-law to prevent everyone in the world from making fun of you."

"Shut up, that won't do. I need to see her first. If I don't like her, then I'll leave it to you." Empress Dowager didn't dare to easily refuse or agree to it. He could only take this one step at a time.

"Mother, I will arrange for you to meet Liu Bei at Manlu Temple." Sun Quan wiped the sweat off his forehead and heaved a sigh of relief.

"Yes."

The Marquis of Wu sent Lu Su to receive him, and arranged for Liu Bei and the rest to rest at the courier station.

The night was as cool as water, and he believed that not many people could sleep peacefully tonight. Liu Bei was worried if Sun Quan would harm him tomorrow, and Sun Quan was worried if he could get rid of Liu Bei tomorrow.

Sun Shangxiang cried as she stood in front of the window. "Zixuan, do I really want to marry him?

"Princess, I'm afraid that's the only thing we can do now." They were the ones who had made the mistake, who had taken responsibility for the mistakes they had made. They were the ones who had made the mistake.

"I don't want it. He has so many of me, so how could I like him? I won't marry him! I … I like you!" Sun Shangxiang mustered up his courage to express the love in his heart. Zixuan was stunned, if he could not accept it, then it was impossible for the two of them to be together.

"Princess, I am indebted to the princess' wrong love, Zixuan, for the sake of avenging my father, hid my identity until now. Princess, I only have hatred in my heart, and I cannot tolerate the private feelings of my children. Someone who liked her, even if she couldn't accept it, felt guilty and hoped to do something that would help her out of her predicament.

"So I was just being sentimental. Thank you." Hearing this, Sun Yiyi no longer cried. It was as if her heart had died at that moment and her heart wasn't accepted. If others didn't want her, then there was no need to cherish it anymore.

"Zixuan will take his leave."

Coincidentally, Empress Dowager came in, "Empress Dowager."

"You can leave first."

"Okay."

The first thing he did was hug Sun Yiyi with tears streaming down his face. "My daughter, mother has no other choice. I don't want my precious daughter to marry a 40-year-old old man."

"Mother, please don't say anymore, I'm not marrying."

"You can't only consider yourself, you have to think for the sake of the Jiang Dong. It's not easy for your father and big brother to take down the Jiang Dong. For the sake of the Jiang Dong, you can only marry Liu Bei."

"Why?" Ye Zichen asked his mother in confusion. His mother, who had always been kind and obedient to her, was now so heartless as well!

"Because you are the daughter of the Sun family, you have to think for the people of Jiang Dong." At this moment, the mother and daughter pair were both in tears.

Sun Shangxiang's eyes were filled with tears as he looked at his helpless mother. There was nothing he could do for her, he could only agree to the marriage, "Mother, I will marry."

Sun Shangxiang had no choice but to agree to marry to Emperor's Uncle Liu. This was his fault, his second brother.

Liu Bei had already reached the courier station. At night, Zixuan casually found a name and visited the Emperor's Uncle Liu, and it would be more accurate to say that it was a visit to test the waters. Zixuan said to Sun Gan who was standing outside the door: "I am Zhao Hongying, and am requesting an audience with the Emperor's Uncle Liu."

"Wait a moment, I'll go report."

After a while, Sun Gan came out and said: "Come in." When Zixuan saw Liu Bei, he immediately bowed, afraid that he had lost his etiquette, "I am Zhao Hongying, the character Zixuan, greets Emperor's Uncle Liu."

Liu Bei amiably asked: "There's no need to be so courteous, I wonder why sire is visiting late at night?" Zixuan did not go straight to the point, but instead asked about a meal, "It's nothing, I'm afraid that royal uncle is not used to staying, and has specially come to take a look, see, I even brought some pastries for royal uncle to taste."

"Thank you."

Just as the two were chatting, Zhao Yun walked in, "Greetings, my lord, who is this?"

Zixuan turned his head, Zilong was both surprised and happy, "Zixuan, it's you, I didn't expect to meet you here." From the last time that Zhao Zilong rode alone to save Ah Dou, Zixuan already knew that he was by Liu Bei's side.

Liu Bei did not understand, "You two know each other?" Looking at him, Liu Bei was extremely curious, the person in front of him, was handsome and frail. He also looked powerful and proud, but he had come in the middle of the night for an unknown reason.

Zixuan took a step forward first and explained, "General Zilong is my sworn brother and I am his sworn brother." After Liu Bei heard this, he hurriedly tried to get closer to him, "Oh, so you're like this. Since you're Zilong's foster brother, then you're also my younger brother." This way, things would be much easier to handle. "Imperial Uncle is too generous."

Zilong was a little disappointed. She was neither surprised nor happy to see him, but instead cold and indifferent. Since it's like this, Zixuan has some matters to discuss with royal uncle. "

"Oh, that's okay."

Dong Wu could not stay any longer, he still had to bring his sister and leave. The world was big, and people's hearts were sinister, he did not know where to go, and had to rely on a reliable person. Since it was like this, Liu Bei had a good choice, and going to Jing Zhou was also out of his own selfish desire.

Zixuan continued using the Dong Wu method and said, "Zixuan has a little sister, she has fallen for one of the people in royal uncle's army."

Liu Bei laughed and said, "Is that so! Who is it? Say it and I'll do the matchmaking for her. "

It was difficult for Zixuan to say anything.

Zilong stood at the side, not saying a word, yet being extremely happy. I don't think it's possible for my sister to be with him. "

Liu Bei asked: "Why?"

Zilong's smile disappeared, and there was a heavy atmosphere around him as he continued to speak: "From the very beginning, you should have been able to tell whether or not the love you pursue is a possibility, and if that's the case, then you should wisely stop chasing after me for a hundred steps.

Otherwise, in the end, love did not love, hate can not hate, it would be better to just brush by. The result of blindly chasing and forcing himself was mostly pain and vexation. There was really no need to think too much about it, covering up the sadness and bringing shame upon yourself. Isn't that right, Imperial Uncle? "
