The third day arrived. Liu Bei was uneasy because of the meeting with the old lady in Ganlu Temple and was not sleeping soundly at night.

Liu Bei got up early, washed and wore clothes. He wore fine armor inside and cotton robe outside, waiting for news about Lu Fan.

Lu Fanjin invited him, but did not wait. Liu Bei immediately stood up, followed him with a sword on his back, and came to Ganlu Temple. Zhao Yun was covered in a wardrobe and led five hundred troops to accompany him.

Liu Bei and his group came to Ganlu Temple in a mighty manner. Liu Bei dismounted and first came to see Sun Quan.

Although the Sun-Liu Alliance has been established for nearly two years, Sun Quan also met Liu Bei for the first time.

Sun Quan was also very excited about meeting Liu Bei. It was really better to meet him!

Sun Quan and Liu Bei were extraordinary in appearance, perhaps because of mutual appreciation, so a little appreciation naturally emerged in his heart, but he had no reason to be close. Sun Quan woke up and felt a little more afraid in his heart.

After the two of them finished the ceremony, they went to the guest hall to pay homage to Mrs. Wu.

The old lady looked carefully and saw that although Xuande was nearly fifty years old, his hair was still black, his waist was straight, his face was white, his lips were covered with grease, and the faint smile on the corner of his mouth made people feel a little close for no reason. She was overjoyed and said to Qiao Gong beside him:

"I am my son-in-law!"

After Qiao Gong informed him, Liu Bei reciprocated and asked Sun Qian to give him a generous gift. He wanted to say a few more good things to Liu Bei. When he saw the old lady was satisfied, he followed her words and praised:

"The mysterious virtue has the posture of a dragon and a phoenix, the appearance of the sky and the sun, and the benevolence is also spread throughout the world. Every day, the achievements are limitless! It is really gratifying to have this good son-in-law!"

After Liu Bei finished paying homage to the old lady, he sat on the left side of Sun Quan and feasted with everyone in Jiangdong in the guest hall.

At the age of time, Zhao Yun arranged a sergeant outside the temple and came in with his own sword, standing behind Xuande.

When Mrs. Wu saw that Zhao Yunying was full of enthusiasm and loyalty, she asked Liu Bei:

"Who is this?"

Liu Bei replied respectfully: "Bi's guards are Zhao Zilong of Changshan."

The old lady was surprised and praised:

"Is it because of the fact that the Changbanpo of Dangyang hugged A Dou, it is a true general!" Then he gave him wine.

Liu Bei first toasted the old lady and Qiao Gong, then respected Sun Quan, and then drank with the scholars and advisers present for several visits. The old lady and Qiao Gong left the seat.

A group of scholars and strategists in Jiangdong immediately lost their restraints and began to act debauchery and drink and the scene gradually reached its climax.

Several strategists were already drunk and wanted to be happy with Liu Bei, but looking at Zhao Yun, who was so fierce behind him, he was a little hesitant.

When Sun Qian saw that the situation was not good, he looked at Liu Bei. Liu Bei also noticed the strange atmosphere on the table, stood up and said to Sun Quan:

"I am very grateful for my kindness, but I am already unable to drink, so I will leave first." Sun Quan personally sent it out of Ganlu Temple, and the two bowed and parted.

When Liu Bei returned to the inn, he breathed a sigh of relief. He was in Ganlu Temple just now. Although he had won the love of the old lady, he was still a little nervous, afraid that Sun Quan would hold the Hongmen Banquet, and now he is back safely and can only wait for the result.

After a while, Gong Qiao sent his confidant to tell Liu Bei that Mrs. Wu was very satisfied with him, but Sun Shangxiang's own intention was unpredictable, so he asked him to find a way to win Sun Shangxiang's favor. Otherwise, the marriage would be delayed or a change would occur.

Liu Bei discussed with Sun Qian, but Sun Qian had no good idea. He originally wanted to call Ma Su to discuss with him, but he was afraid that Liu Bei would look down on him, so he suggested:

"Lord, Sun Shangxiang is an unmarried young girl. She lives in simplicity and cannot be found by outsiders. How can she please her? Even if she is not stingy with money and buys some rare goods, she doesn't know that Miss Sun Shangxiang's preferences may not be able to attract her attention. Moreover, how to deliver it to her is still a difficult problem. It is better to go to Gong Qiao to find out the news first, or get his guidance." Liu Bei said so.

The next day, Liu Bei prepared a generous gift and then went to Gong Qiao's house to dismount.

Sun Gan went up and knocked the door, Qiao Gong got in, and both sides finished their courtesy, and after the tea, Liu Bei said to Qiao Gong:

"There are many people in Jiangzuo who are vicious to Liu Bei, and they may not be able to live here for a long time. I would like to ask Mr. Qiao what method to use to impress Sun Shangxiang? I want to settle the marriage early so that I can feel at ease."

When Qiao Gong heard Liu Bei's words, he looked embarrassed. Sun Shangxiang was a young woman. Qiao Gong was a famous scholar. Naturally, he would not reduce his value and go to make friends with him. Naturally, he could not think of any solution!

Qiao Gong thought about it again, or could find the answer from Mrs. Wu, and his expression returned to normal in an instant, and replied enthusiastically:

"Xuande, please be relieved. Although I don't know Sun Shangxiang's hobbies and whereabouts, I can inquire with Mrs. Wu and tell you again." Liu Bei knew that there was little hope, so he had to thank him and reply.

Liu Bei returned to the inn and could not wait for news from Qiao Gong. As soon as Ma Su and Zhao Yun came to say hello, they discussed together. Liu Bei placed all his hopes on Ma Su and asked Ma Su directly:

"You are always resourceful. Can you think of a way to win Sun Shangxiang's favor? It's better to decide the marriage as soon as possible."

A strange expression flashed on Ma Su's face. Although he had a clear idea in his heart, he was still not in a hurry to answer, and showed a deep thought on his face.

Liu Bei looked at Ma Su very nervously, afraid that he would not have any ideas. You know, the feeling of waiting really makes him feel uncomfortable!

Fortunately, Ma Su did not disappoint Liu Bei, so he stood up and reported:

"Lord, I have a great friendship with Sun Shangxiang's younger brother Sun Lang. Thanks to his kindness, I have invited me to his house for a banquet several times and exchanged gifts. I just came to ask my lord for instructions and wanted to invite Sun Lang to the banquet. The lord can attend together at that time, and maybe have the chance to get in touch with Sun Shangxiang."

Liu Bei was also in a hurry to seek medical treatment. When he heard that he could invite Sun Shangxiang's younger brother to the banquet, he was naturally overjoyed. He didn't care whether the matter could be accomplished or not, but how could he have some hope, so he quickly ordered Sun Gandao:

"Gongyou, go to the largest restaurant in the city and book a good banquet. Then put your invitations from Youchang and I together and send them to Sun Lang's mansion. We invite them to the banquet this afternoon. Youchang and I will discuss the details again." Sun Gan took the order and left.

Liu Bei turned his head and said to Ma Su:

"Young Chang, I also heard that Sun Shangxiang and Sun Lang are brothers and sisters of the same mother and have an extraordinary relationship. I want to buy some gifts for Sun Shangxiang and ask Sun Lang to give them to her to express his feelings. I wonder if it is feasible?"

Ma Su went to Sun Lang's house for the third time yesterday to attend a banquet. He had finished Liu Bei's story. Sun Lang was happy because he had completed the task assigned by Sun Shangxiang.

The two were drinking happily and remembered the last time they had fought on the ring. Sun Lang realized that his martial arts had made another move and proposed to discuss his martial arts again.

This time, Ma Su came out with Zhao Yun, practiced guns sooner or later, and received a lot of guidance. He also wanted to confirm the effect, so he followed the host and agreed to Sun Lang's proposal.

Ma Su did not become famous by martial arts. Even if he lost to Sun Lang in gun art, it would be nothing. What is rare is that he made a good friend like Sun Lang.

The two were about to stop working. Just as they arrived at Sun Lang's martial arts training ground, the servants in the mansion brought another young general wearing a dress, saying that Sun Lang's brother Sun Ren happened to come and watch the battle.

Although there was a armor to cover up, the woman's figure was quite different from that of a man. Ma Su could tell at a glance that Sun Ren was dressed as a man, and it was clearly Sun Shangxiang who was hiding behind the screen to watch the battle.

Because of Sun Shangxiang, a special audience, Ma Su was more cautious in his actions. Although the two fought fiercely, they were all at the same time. After hundreds of rounds, they naturally had no choice but to win or lose. Both of them had some strength and they left the court to rest together.

Sun Ren was excited to see that he practiced the sword technique. This was the sword technique he passed down from the Sun family. Sun Shangxiang was deeply aware of the essence of it, and his atmosphere was very strict, like a grand master.

Sun Ren's skills were itchy for a while and invited Ma Su to come and have a chance to compete. If it was really Sun Lang's brother, Ma Su wouldn't mind learning about his sword skills.

But since he knew that he was the future mistress Sun Shangxiang, Ma Su naturally did not dare to act rashly, so as not to be criticized in the future. He declined on the grounds that his physical energy was exhausted and proposed to Sun Lang that he would invite their brothers to the banquet tomorrow.
