Chapter 2148 Fate
After breakfast, Sun Ce handled some official duties. The war had just ended, and Zhu Huan had a lot of data to be counted. The final report was probably still some time. Sun Ce got up and decided to go and see Liu He.
The courtyard was very quiet. The maid on duty stood in the corridor. When she saw Sun Ce coming in, she was surprised and happy. She turned around and went in to report. After a while, Xun Yu first greeted her, took a few steps, came to the courtyard, and bowed to Sun Ce.
"King."
Sun Ce glanced at the room. "Thank you for your hard work, how about you? Have you ever used some breakfast today?"
Xun Yu smiled bitterly: "I used it a little. But I haven't washed it yet, so I dare not come to see the king. I'd like to ask the king to wait." He paused and said: "The eldest princess and Your Majesty depend on each other for life, and the relationship is beyond the same as others. I suddenly heard bad news and lost my composure for a while. I hope the king will have a letter."
Sun Ce looked at Xun Yu and smiled slightly. "I don't care. I didn't want to have my parents at the beginning, and I'm not willing to fight now. But Xun Jun wants to reflect on himself. Ah He has today, but it's all thanks to you."
Xun Yu looked embarrassed and speechless, so he could only sigh. After a while, Liu He walked out of the house, without makeup or combing his bun, and simply tidied it up and used a white ribbon to tie the black hair that was once black. After a few days, she became much haggard and her hair lost its luster. She came to Sun Ce and bowed slowly.
Sun Ce reached out to support him. "The ground is cold, don't be polite."
Liu He lowered his head and said hoarsely: "I am not in a position to be in charge. I don't know if the king is coming. I have misunderstood him. Please forgive me for your crime."
Sun Ce frowned at the few white hairs mixed in Liu He's hair. "You have a deep affection and care is reasonable, so you don't have to blame yourself. Although your brother was defeated, he is brave. You should be happy for him. He did what he should do, and you should do what you should do, just be restrained and not hurt your body and make him uneasy."
"Here." Liu He bowed again, took a few steps back, turned around and went back to the room.
Sun Ce said a few more words to Xun Yu, then turned around and left. Xun Yu sent him to the door and watched Sun Ce leave with a trance for a moment, not knowing what to say. Sun Ce was so calm that it was a bit unpredictable. After the victory, he couldn't see any excitement or joy.
When Xun Yu returned to the hall, a maid gave him hot tea. Xun Yu held it in his hand and pondered himself. He had met Sun Ce for several days and had in-depth conversations for two or three times, but he still couldn't see through Sun Ce's character. Especially Sun Ce's performance today, he was calm and composed, and what he said was a common saying, but it had some magical features that made people difficult to see.
What kind of person is he? When Guo Jia comes, you must ask carefully.
Liu He walked out again, and as soon as he got into his seat, tears came out again. "Lingjun, is there any news about Your Majesty?"
Xun Yu looked at Liu He and sighed softly. "What else can you expect? No news at this time is the best news. Ah, the King of Wu is right. Although it is reasonable for you to worry about Your Majesty, you must be restrained and not hurt your body."
Liu He wiped the corner of his eyes. "Let's teach you a lesson, I'm just... just worried. The two armies are in war and it's inevitable that they will be injured. They have to pass through several rivers all the way north, without boats, and they can only wader and cross. It's cold and it's snowing again, I'm worried..."
Thinking of the danger, Liu He couldn't help but shed tears. She had just gotten married and had visited Youzhou with Sun Ce. She was not unfamiliar with the situation in the army. There were actually not many people who died in battle at the battle. Most of them were injured, and the deaths caused by injuries were the main cause of casualties. Even if a strong person was infected with the wound, it depends on luck whether he could survive. Even the best Nanyang injury medicine could not be guaranteed to be complete.
The emperor has good martial arts and strong body, but he is the emperor after all, and he has very little experience of injury at the last stage. He was defeated yesterday and was almost trapped in the formation and could not escape. I believe that it is inevitable to be injured. If the wound is stained with water during the retreat, the chance of infection is very high.
"It's useless to worry about it, let it go to fate." Xun Yu sighed.
Liu He also knew there was nothing he could do, but just shed tears. The two of them were speechless. At this time, the maid Yue Wu rushed in, her feet slipped, and she fell down under the steps, her forehead was covered with blood, but she didn't care about the pain and said repeatedly: "Princess, Princess, there is news about Your Majesty."
Liu He's face changed drastically. "What news?"
Yue Wu climbed up, covered her knees that were hurt, and said panting: "I just heard from someone that Zhang Fen, the priest of the Mu Academy in Runan, captured His Majesty, and took the boat all night to Dingtao."
Liu He and Xun Yu exchanged a look of their eyes and were shocked. The emperor was not only injured, but also captured. A moment later, Liu He got up and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Xun Yu. Xun Yu stood up and looked at Liu He seriously. "How can you go like this? Your Majesty sent you to marry you, and once repeatedly told you to live with peace of mind and not to ask about the matter between him and the King of Wu. Now seeing your appearance, how can he feel at ease?"
"But……"
"You go and dress up, I'll go and have a look." Xun Yu paused and said, "Maybe, Your Majesty is the safest here. Regarding the wise and exquisite prescriptions in the world, where is there any place in the world stronger than here?"
Liu He nodded repeatedly, felt a little relieved, and hurriedly entered and asked the maid to dress her up. Xun Yu turned around twice in the hall, calmed down, and told Liu He again not to act rashly and to wait for his news. Then he got up and went out in a hurry.
After leaving the side courtyard and coming to the main courtyard, he saw that the main courtyard was very vigilant. The number of tiger soldiers on duty had doubled. Xu Chu pressed the knife and was on duty. Seeing Xun Yu coming, Xu Chu quickly came up and led Xun Yu in. Xun Yu was anxious and didn't bother to ask more questions. He followed Xu Chu into the courtyard and came to the atrium. Sun Ce sat in the hall with a stretcher in front of him. There was a person lying on the stretcher, motionless. There was a person standing next to him, wrapped in a cloak, which was Lu Xiaohuan. Seeing Xun Yu, Lu Xiaohuan came up, and before he could speak, tears came out.
"Register, Your Majesty..."
"What's wrong with Your Majesty?" Xun Yu pushed Lu Xiaohuan away and rushed to the stretcher. He saw the emperor's eyes closed, his face was pale, and his body was filled with a strong smell of medicine. Xun Yu glanced at him, opened the cloak wrapped around the emperor's body, and saw the wound on the emperor's thigh. The wounds were bandaged very carefully, and blood could still be seen, but not many.
Xun Yu breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Zhang Fen standing beside him, and gave Zhang Fen a deep gift. Zhang Fen returned the gift in embarrassment, and then looked at Sun Ce uneasy. Sun Ce waved his hand and asked someone to send it to Liu He's yard, where Xu Chu was responsible for safety, and no one was allowed to enter and exit.
Xun Yu was so grateful that he was about to leave, but was stopped by Sun Ce. Sun Ce looked at Xun Yu with a smile. "Mr. Xun, can you solve my doubts?"
"What are the answers?"
"He was not captured. He had the chance to escape, but he returned halfway. Everyone else left, and only this Lu Guiren accompanied him." Sun Ce glanced at Lu Xiaohuan who was standing there in a daze, and smiled even more strangely. "I really don't understand what he meant. Xun Jun and him are both teachers and fathers. I believe they understand his ideas. Can you solve my doubts?"
Xun Yu was also surprised and turned to look at Lu Xiaohuan. "Guy Lu, is this really the case?"
Lu Xiaohuan nodded, bit her lip, and wanted to stop, and winked at Xun Yu. Xun Yu understood and apologized to Sun Ce and led Lu Xiaohuan aside. Lu Xiaohuan then told the story one by one. After she met Zhang Fen, she did not mention a word. However, she was not very eloquent at the time, and was saddened by the death of her father Lu Bu. She was unbearable and did not know why the emperor had to come to see Sun Ce. She only knew that the emperor issued an edict and ordered Zhao Yun and Liu Ye to arrive at Tongguan to stand by. If he could not go back, he would use King Chen Liu Chong, Grand Marshal Sun Rui, General Huangfu Jianshou, Secretary Liu Ye as the ministers to assist the prince in succession. As for the reason, she couldn't explain clearly.
After hearing this, Xun Yu was confused. He only understood one thing: the emperor came to see Sun Ce on his own initiative, and it was under Liu Ye's strong dissuasion.
Why is this? Not to mention that Sun Ce doesn’t understand, he can’t understand either.
Xun Yu thought for a long time but still couldn't figure it out. He walked up to Sun Ce and bowed to salute him. "King, forgive me for being ignorant and not thinking about the world. I also asked the King to invite a doctor to heal the emperor. If he could wake up, he would personally solve the problem for the King."
Sun Ce nodded helplessly and agreed to Xun Yu's request. Xun Yu hurried to Liu He's side courtyard, and Lu Xiaohuan stood there, motionless. Sun Ce was curious and couldn't help asking, "Are you Lu Bu's daughter?"
Lu Xiaohuan stared at Sun Ce and said hatefully: "Yes. My Aweng was killed by Qin Mu. I want to kill Qin Mu and avenge my Aweng."
Sun Ce couldn't help laughing and shook his head. "I'm afraid this won't work."
"Why can't it work? Blood relatives are revenge, which is righteous in the Spring and Autumn Period. My Aweng was killed by Qin Mu. I must kill him and avenge my Aweng."
"You are a prisoner now, and you can't help but have life and death, so why are you talking about revenge?" Sun Ce laughed and hooked his fingers. "Card her and Qin Mu will deal with it at that time. Lu Bu has no brains and even less brains to give birth to a daughter. It's really ridiculous."
"You..." Lu Xiaohuan was furious and reached out to draw the sword at his waist, but he felt empty. She was disarmed when she got on Zhang Fen's boat, and now she was unarmed. She looked around and jumped towards Zhang Fen, wanting to seize Zhang Fen's sword. Zhang Fen was prepared for a long time, so she would not give her a chance. Then her hand, tripped back, and threw her to the ground, and was about to step forward to control her. Lu Xiaohuan stretched out his legs, clamped his legs, and snatched it hard. Zhang Fen caught him off guard and fell to the ground. Lu Xiaohuan stepped forward to grab the sword, Zhang Fen was anxious and held the hilt tightly. Lu Xiaohuan couldn't take it down. When he saw two tiger soldiers rushing, he quickly let go, rolled on the ground, rolled to the steps, jumped up, and ran out.
Sun Ce could see clearly, but was not in a hurry. Although Lu Xiaohuan was good at his skills, she was at the end of her strength and could not escape from the yard. What he was curious about was that Lu Xiaohuan's move that just now seemed to be a wrestling technique, which was the first time he saw him.
"King..." Yuan Yao walked in quickly and ran into Lu Xiaohuan head-on. Before he could react, Lu Xiaohuan had already pounced on him, clasped his neck with one hand, pulled out the book knife from his waist with the other, and pressed it against his neck.
"Don't come over, or I'll kill him!" Lu Xiaohuan widened his eyes and shouted loudly.
Sun Ce saw it clearly and couldn't help but blink, laughing and crying. It's not that the enemy didn't meet, why did Yuan Yao come? And it was just at this time?
