The Three Kingdoms of Navigation

Chapter 44 In a dilemma

Ji Yan smiled. The tension when he first saw Sun Quan had eased a lot. He clearly said the origin of the two altars of wine and the history and results of the experiment. Before he finished speaking, Sun Quan had put away his smile and looked at the two altars of wine. He also lifted his body from his heels and moved forward slightly. Leaning down, his voice also trembled a little with excitement.

"You mean that these two jars of wine can help heal wounds?"

Ji Yan nodded affirmatively: "Exactly, my subordinates have done experiments in the prison of Wu County, which is absolutely true."

"Good, good thing." Sun Quan couldn't take care of his reservedness. He ran up and picked up a celadon altar. He couldn't put it down. He is a smart man. If this wine can really effectively reduce the mortality rate of the wounded, it is a treasure for him. What is the most missing thing in Jiangdong? He is a man and a strong soldier. Over the years, there are many soldiers who died in the war, but there are also many people who could not heal their wounds after being injured. What hurts him most is that in the 16th year of Jian'an, Zhou Yu died due to a long-term injury, which made his plan to travel to Bashu was abandoned halfway, so that Liu Bei later was Liu Bei. After taking advantage of the loopholes, Chen Wu was seriously injured and died in the Hefei War last year, and Ling Tong almost died. After careful calculation, 40% to 50% of the deaths in each war were due to injuries. The long-lasting harm of the wound is no less than the fight on the battlefield.

After Sun Quan was excited for a while, he quickly calmed down and sat down again. Looking at Ji Yan, who was still kneeling on the ground, he waved his hand and told him to get up and reply. Ji Yan exhaled gently and came all the way from Wu County. The carriages and horses were bumpy. His knees were swollen again, and his heart ached.

"Since you are responsible for this matter, you can stay in Jianye for a few days and try again." Sun Quan waved his hand blankly and asked Ji Yan to take him down without giving him any opportunity to explain. Ji Yan is not in a hurry. If he can stay in Jianye, he will have a chance. Anyway, the utility of this wine has been verified in Wu County. Although he did not see Sun Quan's expression just now, from his tone, he can hear the important surname of the wine. If it is done, he will definitely have a reward, and he will not even stay in Jianye as an official. It's impossible.

Sun Quan sat there alone, his eyes flashing, stroking his slightly purple beard and muttered. If this wine is really useful, then injustice and beauty have merit, Zhu Zhi has merit, and Sun Shao also have merit, so how should I arrange him? Sun Shao wants to lead the army, but this soldier must not be led by him. Sun Quan can't fight by himself, but he has people's knowledge. He knows that Sun Shao is not only excellent in martial arts, but also quite talented in using soldiers. This is inherited from his father Sun Ce. He really let him lead the army. If he has more achievements in the future, I'm afraid it may not be a good thing for him. It's just that it doesn't seem to make sense to have merit. Over the years, he has been suppressing Sun Shao. Both the clan and his brother's former generals are a little dissatisfied, and they have been covered up by themselves for the reason of protecting Sun Shao. What should I do this time?

Sun Quan didn't think of a good idea, so he had to put this matter aside for the time being. Three days later, he got accurate news. What Ji Yan said was true. The new wine made by Sun Shao was really useful for wound recovery. While Sun Quan was overjoyed, he felt difficult to deal with. He called Ji Yan and asked Sun Shao in detail about his recent situation. Ji Yan expected this before he came. He specially inquired about Sun Shao's situation, but on the one hand, the time was short, and on the other hand, Sun Shao had nothing to do recently, and he really couldn't say anything.

"Supreme, I don't have much contact with Sun Shao, and I know very little. I heard that Zhou Xun, the young master of the Zhou family, had a close relationship with him. Zhou Xun's family should be almost in Jianye. Why didn't the Supreme ask him for details?

Sun Quan was stunned, and a warm light suddenly appeared in his eyes, and then he covered it up well. He nodded and pondered a little: "You did a good job this time. Don't go back to Wu County, just stay in the house."

"Oh." Ji Yan was overjoyed and quickly kowtowed to thank him. He only wanted to stay in Jianye, but he didn't expect to enter the shogunate.

After Ji Yan went out, Sun Quan asked Gu Li, "Where is Zhou Xun's family?"

Gu Li replied, "Yesterday, someone said that he had arrived at Jurong, thinking that he should be able to arrive tonight."

"Sect someone to guard it. Once they come, let them meet."

"Oh."

When night fell, Mr. Zhou's motorcade slowly drove into the big door. The small bridge raised the curtain and looked at the faint gate in the distance. He breathed a long sigh of relief. It's arrived. I'm exhausted all the way. Ah Yu, I can finally have a good sleep today.

Zhou Yu held her cheek and answered feebly, obviously a little unfocused.

"A Yu--" Xiaoqiao elongated his voice and gently pushed Zhou Yu's shoulder. Zhou Yu was shocked, and then came to her senses. Facing Xiaoqiao's strange eyes, her face turned red and she asked with a guilty heart, "Mom, are you here?"

"People have arrived, but I don't know where my heart is."

"Mother--" Zhou Yu shook her arms holding Xiaoqiao coquettishly, and her face was so red that she was about to drip blood.

"Silly child, I asked you to marry him before, but you cried and shouted not to marry. When you left, you thought you were panicked." Xiaoqiao twisted Zhou Yu's obviously thin cheeks and said with a smile, "Is it a little late?"

"Mother, he used to..." Zhou Yu spit out her tongue, lowered her head, and her voice was as low as a mosquito: "He is different now."

"What's the difference? Can't you just play a few songs, cook some dishes, and cook some porridge? With this little ability, I hooked up A Yuer's heart, whose eyes are above the top?"

"Mother, I don't follow you." Zhou Yu pouted and looked at Xiaoqiao angrily. Just as he was about to say it again, Zhou Xun's quiet voice came from outside: "Mother, the supreme send someone to see us immediately."

Xiaoqiao was stunned, and the smile on her face immediately disappeared. She and Zhou Yu, who were also surprised, looked at each other and said with a little hesitation, "In this case, there must be something to do. Let's go to the house first. Let Jiacheng take the convoy back to the house to clean up first."

"Oh." The curtain was opened. Zhou Xunhe just rushed to Zhou Yin, left and right, and got out of the car with the small bridge. The family looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes. Is it because of Sun Quan's nostalgia for Zhou Yu's old feelings or for another reason?

"I am ordered by the Supreme, waiting for my wife and young lord here." Hu Zong greeted him with a smile: "Madam, please get in the car."

"My concubine's family is very grateful for your supreme concern." Xiaoqiao bowed himself to salute. Although Hu Zong's official position is not high, he is a close minister around Sun Quan. He can't neglect it: "Thank you, my lord."

Hu Zong hurriedly returned the gift. Although he didn't know why Sun Quan was in such a hurry to summon Zhou Xun's family, it would certainly not be a bad thing. Zhou Yu's help to Sun Quan was too great. This time, Zhou Xun was going to attack the army. Sun Quan specially arranged a big house for the Zhou family, which is now in Jiangdong. No one among the ministers can compare. Zhou Xun became famous as a teenager. I heard that he had the style of Zhou Yu. In the future, he must be an important minister of Jiangdong. At this time, it is almost reasonable to set up.

Under the leadership of Hu Zong's attentively, Xiaoqiao's family entered the city and came to the riding general's mansion. Gu Li was waiting outside the door and welcomed them into the door. Sun Quan was waiting in the hall. As soon as he saw the small bridge, although he was haggard, he could not hide his peerless glory. Sun Quan's eyes lit up and almost ignored Brother Zhou Xun, who was surrounded by the jade tree beside her. Brother, in a trance, he seemed to see another person homage to him.

"Therefore, General Yu is still a dead man, concubine Qiao, pay homage to the supreme."
