Eight hundred and eightieth chapter: Willing or not?
After Zhuge Liang and the others left, Wu Shun stayed alone in the study.
Of course he could feel Sun Shangxiang's affection for him.
However, he thought that this was a girl's curiosity about him. After all, he first saved someone, then helped hide him from Zhou Yu, and finally brought him back, allowing Sun Shangxiang to see his inventions.
Until now, Sun Shangxiang is still studying how to play checkers.
"If you marry me, it doesn't seem to be a loss..." At this time, Sun Shangxiang's voice and smile appeared in Wu Shun's head, which was very lively and cute.
"Forget it, let's go and ask her. If she doesn't want to, she can't force her to marry her, right?" Wu Shun said intimately.
For the sake of profit and by any means, Wu Shun could not reach that level.
――
In the evening, Sun Shangxiang came to Wu Shun with a chessboard in his arms. Wu Shun did not refuse, but instead abused the vegetables more than a dozen times. When Sun Shangxiang was about to collapse, he suddenly asked: "Xiangxiang, do you want to stay here forever?"
"Stay here forever? No, I'm going to go back to Jiangdong. You're so surprised tonight. You can't just drive me away, right?"
Sun Shangxiang was still jumping to the top a long time ago, and he didn't hear the difference in Wu Shun's words.
"Xiangxiang, I mean, are you willing to treat this place as your home?"
Wu Shun asked again.
Damn, why did I become more sulky? Wu Shun was speechless about his performance. How did those two words just now pop up?
"As long as you don't dare to leave, I will stay here."
Sun Shangxiang looked up, glanced at Wu Shun, who was a little uneasy, and asked, "What's wrong with you today? You're talking weird?"
"Haha, am I strange? Come and continue!"
Wu Shun jumped into Sun Shangxiang's position and announced his victory!
"Ah, why did you lose again? Don't play anymore!"
After losing, Sun Shangxiang's patience has disappeared.
"Don't leave..." Seeing Sun Shangxiang leaving in her chessboard with a bulging smell, Wu Shun felt lost.
"Master, let me talk to Xiangxiang." At this time, Xiaobai appeared behind Wu Shun and looked at Wu Shun with a funny look.
She clearly remembered that Wu Shun was not like this before.
"Xiaobai, what are you talking to Xiangxiang?" Wu Shun deliberately pretended to be stupid.
"Haha, the military advisors have told me about this matter. Actually, Xiangxiang is a good girl, and the sisters all like her." Xiaobai said.
As the eldest wife in the general's mansion, she knew that some things needed to be done by her.
"Oh, Kong Ming and the others' big mouths..." Wu Shun was speechless.
"The king rest first, I'll go back." Xiaobai moved his steps lightly and walked out.
...
Not long after Sun Shangxiang returned to his room, Xiaobai arrived.
Seeing Xiaobai, Sun Shangxiang hurriedly pulled Xiaobai and said, "Sister, please help me, I don't want to go back to Jiangdong yet."
"Who wants to drive my sister back to Jiangdong?" Xiaobai pretended to be surprised.
"Isn't that King of Shu? He spoke strangely today. He must be tired of me. He wants to dare to leave, but it is difficult to speak." Sun Shangxiang said.
"Puchi...Sister, you were wrong."
Hearing Sun Shangxiang's words, Xiaobai couldn't help laughing. This girl's ability to understand is very different from that of ordinary people.
"Sister, is the king asking you if you would like to treat the Shu Palace as your home?"
"I asked, but I am his guest, how can I take this place as the owner?"
"The king's original intention is to ask you if you want to marry him!" Xiaobai said.
Marry him!
Hearing these three words, Sun Shangxiang was stunned: "Sister, why do you say such words!"
Sun Shangxiang's face turned red.
After such a period of contact, her heart was pretending to be Wu Shun. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been pestering Wu Shun to play checkers with her all day long.
Even if you keep losing, that doesn't matter! As long as you can stay with Wu Shun, she will be in a good mood.
She just misunderstood Wu Shun's meaning and came back angrily.
"Sister, are you willing?"
Xiaobai asked.
"You have also seen how the king treats us. If you marry into the royal palace, we will be a family in the future. Haoer and the others like you very much."
"Sister, when talking about marriage, don't you just need your parents to nod? Why ask me directly?" Sun Shangxiang mustered up the courage.
"Is it my parents' order? What would Xiangxiang do if Mrs. Wu didn't let Xiangxiang marry into Yizhou?" Xiaobai asked.
"My mother doesn't know what she doesn't know. She won't force me. As long as I want to marry into Yizhou, she will agree, as long as my second brother doesn't stop me."
Sun Shangxiang said, when talking about his mother, his face was full of smiles, but when talking about his second brother, his smile became stiff.
She had no hatred for Sun Quan, but she didn't have much good face. After all, Sun Quan once forced her to marry Wu Shun, whom she had never met before.
"So, Xiangxiang, are you willing to marry into Yizhou and the king?" Xiaobai smiled.
"Oh, sister... you are so bad, I won't tell you..." Sun Shangxiang was embarrassed.
"Xiangxiang, I won't regret it when I get married." Xiaobai said, holding Sun Shangxiang's hand.
"But, will he marry me?"
Sun Shangxiang asked.
"Yes, Xiangxiang is such a beautiful girl, and everyone likes it when they see it. The king is no exception. Otherwise, Xiangxiang would have stayed in the palace for so long." Xiaobai said.
"Oh..." Sun Shangxiang had nothing to say.
Knowing that Wu Shun was going to marry her, she was inexplicably nervous.
"I'll go back and tell the king first, and there will be envoys to go to Wu State soon." Xiaobai stayed shortly after getting the desired result.
Wu Shun learned that Sun Shangxiang was willing to marry him, and the next day he agreed to adopt Zhuge Liang's strategy.
Xu Shu, as the envoy of Shu, went to Jianye of Wu to discuss related matters with Sun Quan.
Sun Quan naturally would not refuse Shu's proactive show of kindness, and Shu's country is powerful and cannot be easily angered.
The previous raid on Jiangxia was just a test, but their navy suffered heavy losses under Gan Ning's counterattack.
Fortunately, Gan Ning did not pursue him, otherwise they would have suffered greater losses!
Xu Shu, the minister of Shu, took a long team to Wu, and was very swaggering along the way, as if he was afraid that others would not know.
On the Wu side, Lu Su first received Xu Shu and his party. During the conversation, Lu Su naturally learned about Xu Shu's purpose.
The important officials of the Wu State discussed overnight and thought about solutions.
Sun Quan ranked first, and he couldn't help but feel anxious when he saw that he had discussed it for a long time and had not made a resolution.
"Gongjin, Wu Shun wants to have a good relationship with my Wu Kingdom. How many credible is there?" Sun Quan asked.
"King, Shu Kingdom is now strong, but we need to be cautious when facing our Wu Kingdom and Lu Kingdom at the same time. Wu Shun's move is nothing more than to destroy our relationship with Lu Kingdom."
Zhou Yu said.
"What should I do if my Wu Kingdom do about marriage?" Sun Quan asked again.
