Chapter 1 Entering Camp

Twenty-second year of Jian'an (217 A.D.), the first month of spring.

Sun Quan raised his head from the mountain of official documents and put down the pen in his hand. He felt as cold as if he had fallen into an ice hole. He was cold to the bone, and his fingers were a little cold. His eyelids were too heavy to lift. The blood vessels in his temples jumped slowly, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help twitching. .

"Alas--" Sun Quan sighed for a long time, patted his numb legs, and struggled to turn his neck twice. The cervical spine made a click, as if it were a rusted crossbow machine, which could be broken at any time.

"Ali, rub it for me." Sun Quan moaned and closed his eyes: "It's really uncomfortable."

Gu Li quickly walked behind him, skillfully put his hand on Sun Quan's shoulder, and gently kneaded it. Sun Quan's shoulders were cold and hard, and his muscles seemed to have lost their bullets. Gu Li sighed and whispered, "Supreme, you haven't slept all night again. You'd better take a break, or you won't be able to stand it."

Sun Quan's mouth was crooked and he didn't say a word. After a while, he sighed, "I also want to, but I can't."

Gu Li didn't say anything. As Sun Quan's close attendant, he knows too well the burden on Sun Quan's shoulders. Cao Yan's 80,000 troops are in Jiangbei, more than ten miles away from the company. Yesterday, they were approaching the nest, and the war was imminent. The atmosphere in the camp is very tense. As the coach, Sun Quan's psychological pressure is self-evident.

"Lv Yi, is there any news coming from Jiangbei?" Sun Quan was silent for a moment and suddenly said that his voice was a little dry and uneasy.

Lv Yi, who had been kneeling silently, put down his pen and replied, "Go back to the supreme, no."

Sun Quan raised his eyelids and saw the unconcealed fatigue on Lv Yi's face, and his eyes were also a little black, but his eyes were still energetic, and he nodded with satisfaction. Suddenly, his heart moved, and he raised his hand and patted Gu Li gently: "Ali, take some wine and food, and bring one to Bo Dao."

Gu Li hurriedly went there. After a while, he was followed by two close waiters. One person held a food case in his hand, each with a pot of wine, a pot of soup, two plates of meat, and the aroma of the hot meat soup was immediately full of the big tent, adding a little warmth to the cold big tent.

Lv Yi looked at the food case in front of him, and his nose was sore that he almost burst into tears. He quickly fell to the ground: "Thank you for the supreme food."

"Eat it, there is no need to be polite. You have worked hard all night. Eat warm and rest for a while. Sun Quan waved his hand and didn't say much. He drank a mouthful of meat soup first, took a mouthful of hot food, and his whole body suddenly felt much more comfortable, and a rare pleasure came to him. He sighed comfortably, then grabbed the bamboo chopsticks and paused on the case. He picked up a piece of meat and put it into his mouth, and then took a mouthful of meat soup. He didn't have much time. With a pot of soup, two dishes of meat went down, and his whole body was cold. It was warm and comfortable. He put down the bamboo chopsticks, took the hand towel handed over by Gu Li and wiped his mouth, and then took a sip of Gu Li's wine.

"Happly, hahaha, happy." Sun Quan patted his stomach and laughed, "Bao, eat it quickly. It won't taste good when it's cold."

"Oh." Lv Yi raised his sleeves, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and choked and ate.

Sun Quan looked at Lv Yi quietly. It was not until Lv Yi was full of food and drink, and his cold blue face turned red. Then he lit up the glass in his hand and smiled and said, "Bao, does this wine sell well?"

Lv Yi quickly bowed and replied, "Go back to the supreme, it sells well." He smiled and said, "I followed Captain Sun this time and made a small fortune. The supply of new wine is in short supply. In just three months, Wu County sold 3,000 taels, and last month alone 1,300 taels."

"Then you are really rich." Sun Quanwan smiled and said jokingly, "So, it's no problem for you to sell 10,000 buckets a year?"

"It's definitely not a problem." Lv Yi smiled faintly, and there was no nervous look on his face. It seemed that he was not talking to Sun Quan, who held the power of life and death, but just an ordinary good friend. It was not Sun Shao, who had always been guarded by Sun Quan, but just an irreachable person.

Sun Quan is very satisfied with Lv Yi's attitude. He likes Lv Yi's point. Doing business is business, but he should not say it. He resolutely does not say it. He is selfless and broad-minded. He nodded gently, pondered for a moment, and then said, "How is Jianye's new wine selling?"

Lv Yi hesitated for a moment: "I just heard that it sells well, but the exact number is not clear." He seemed to smile with some regret: "Jian Ye's new wine is all Mrs. Sun's. Only she knows how much it has been sold."

"Isn't it a loss to be the first?" Sun Quan leaned on Gu Li's thigh, stretched out his sore legs, and put on a casual smile, with an easy-going smile on his face: "He has to lose at least a hundred gold a year."

"Captain Sun is rich now, and he should not care about this hundred gold." Lu Yi smiled with a funny smile.

"Hehehe..." Sun Quan glanced at Lv Yi, stroked his hand back and forth on his thigh, and then smiled, "The new wine sells well. If you want to increase your share, you have to tell him in advance. Otherwise, you won't have your share."

"Thank you for reminding me that I plan to wait for Captain Sun to come to the camp as soon as he comes to the camp." Lv Yi said solemnly. Sun Quan was amused by his seriousness. He smiled for a while, shook his head, and said angrily, "This vertical has made a lot of money, and people are lazy. Let him go to the camp to be a guard, but he hasn't arrived yet. Ali, when does he say he will come?

Gu Li shook his head: "I don't know, do you want to ask General Zhou?"

Sun Quan hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Go and call him here."

Gu Li went to the door and gave an order. After a long time, Zhou Xun, the governor of the account, strode in and saluted him angrily: "General and minister, I see the supreme."

Looking at Zhou Xun, whose lips were red, white and energetic, Sun Quan secretly praised himself. The boy was just like his father. He looked at it and was energetic. He was not tired at all. He asked Gu Li to take a seat and looked at Zhou Xun sitting respectfully. Then he asked, "Fengxian can take office?"

Zhou Xun hesitated a little and immediately shook his head: "Go back to the supreme, and I haven't joined the job yet."

"Do you know what he's doing?"

"I heard that... I'm on a honeymoon." Zhou Xun said awkwardly, with a blush on his face.

"Honeymoon?" Sun Quan was stunned for a moment and a little puzzled: "What honeymoon?"

"Captain Sun said that within a month of marriage, it is called honeymoon." Zhou Xunqiang suppressed his smile and said lightly, "It probably means that the husband and wife are as sweet as honey."

"Poo--" Sun Quan couldn't help but be happy, "This vertical, how can you come to join the company for this? That's not true."

Zhou Xun didn't say anything. He thought Sun Shao was a little too much this time. In the past, when he wanted to be an official, Sun Quan didn't let him be an official. This time, Sun Quan gave him a chance, but he repeatedly delayed and refused to come to the camp, which seemed to be a little ignorant. However, what puzzled him was that Sun Quan did not mean to blame him. It was very useful for his grandson Shao to donate three thousand gold two days ago. Of course, Zhou Xun also knows that Sun Quan's asking Sun Shao to be a personal guard is different from others. Other people's personal guard means that he becomes a close minister, and the chances of promotion in the future are greatly increasing. Sun Shao's personal guard only means that his every move is in front of Sun Quan's eyes. If he wants to lead troops in the future, it is still a dream.

It's just that Zhou Xun feels that no matter what Sun Quan's intention is, since you are asked to come, you should come immediately. If you have an opinion, you can only put it in your stomach and can't show it. This is the duty of a minister.

He was thinking about how to answer Sun Quan's words. There was a noise outside the account. Sun Quan looked at Gu Li in surprise. Gu Li quickly ran to the tent, lifted the door and took a look. Then he turned his head and smiled, "Supreme, Captain Sun is here, and the lady and lady are also here."

"Let them in quickly." Sun Quan was so happy that he jumped up, clapped his hands and laughed, "Big Tiger, Big Tiger, are you here?"

"Aweng, I'm coming." Sun Luban's delicate voice echoed, followed by the opening of the tent. With a burst of crisp laughter like a copper bell, Sun Luban rushed into the tent like a gust of wind, jumped up and rushed into Sun Quan's arms. Sun Quan hugged him and kissed Sun Luban's little face hard. His thick beard scratched Sun Luban's face, which made her giggle.

"Why didn't you come until today?" Sun Quan said reproachedly, "Don't you miss A Weng anymore?"

"I want to." Sun Luban answered loudly, and then remembered something. He broke free of Sun Quan's arm, stood a little with his waist crossed, and said proudly with his small chest, "Aweng, am I beautiful?"

Sun Quan took a look and found that Sun Luban was different today. She is wearing a delicate leather armor, which is very close to her body, which sets off her small body neatly and has a unique heroism. A wide belt was tied around his waist, and his waist was thin. The golden double phoenix hooks flashed with gold, almost shaking his eyes. A ring knife was inserted obliquely on the belt, about three feet long, much shorter than the commonly used ring knife. The black scabbard was painted with gold paint, and a bunch of red beads were tied to the ring. The whole person looks heroic, just a pocket version of Sun Shangxiang.

"Oh! Learn from your aunt?" Sun Quan opened his eyes wide in surprise, reached out and shaved the proud Sun Luban's nose. He couldn't help laughing and said, "Finally, the leather armor has arrived. Your mother is so annoyed by you, right?"

"It's not true." Sun Luban turned his head, wrinkled his nose and said, "My mother is too stingy. She refused to make leather armor for me. This is what my elder brother made for me, and this knife was specially made by my elder brother, which is sharp." Sun Luban said, pulled out the ring knife like a treasure, and looked around. Seeing that only Zhou Xun had a knife in his waist, he ordered loudly, "Draw the knife! Let me cut it."

Zhou Xun was flushed and at a loss. He looked at Sun Quan for help. Sun Quan smiled and nodded, signaling him to listen to Sun Luban's words. Zhou Xun had no choice but to pull out his knife and make a gesture of fight. Sun Luban riveted his strength, held the knife in both hands, and shouted. The short knife suddenly hit the knife in Zhou Xun's hand. With a "click", the spark splashed everywhere.

"What?" Sun Luban seemed to be a little strange. He looked at the knife in his hand and then at the knife in Zhou Xun's hand. He looked puzzled: "Why didn't it break?"

"broken?" Sun Quan looked at Sun Luban puzzledly: "What kind of treasure knife do you have?"

"Of course." Sun Luban looked suspicious, his eyes turned around on the two knives, and said of course, "The other day, the eldest brother cut off my aunt's knife with this knife. Why can't I do it?"

"Really?" Sun Quan was angry and funny. He took the knife from Sun Luban's hand and motioned Zhou Xun to be careful. Zhou Xun did not dare to be careless and quickly clenched the knife with both hands. Sun Quan twisted his wrist, threw a knife, and chopped it down with a knife. With a soft sound, the ring knife in Zhou Xun's hand should be broken into two parts.

"Good knife." Several people in the account praised in one voice.

"Of course." Sun Luban saw that Sun Quan was looking at her knife in surprise. He was afraid that Sun Quan would get excited. He quickly grabbed it and carefully returned the knife into the sheath. Then he patted the scabbard at ease, raised his little face, and said proudly, "How's it? Isn't it awesome?"

"Awesome." Sun Quan smiled and pinched Sun Luban's little face with pity: "Where are your mother and sister?"

"It's outside." Only then did Sun Luban remember and pulled Sun Quan out of the big account. Sun Quan looked at it and was immediately attracted by the scene in front of him. His mouth was wide open, and his eyes almost protruded.

Mrs. Bu, dressed in simple clothes, stood in the middle of Sun Luyu, like an empty valley, looking at him quietly with a quiet smile on her face. Behind them stood two armored warriors. The brand-new black and red leather armor was worn on their concave and convex bodies. The serious look was matched with this hot figure. The two completely different beauties of feminine and masculinity were perfectly combined in their bodies, which made people imaginative, pleasing to the eyes, and reluctant to move their eyes.

If there is anything wrong, it is that Sun Shao, who is standing between the two female heroes, is really terrible. Although he is also wearing a brand-new armor with a ring knife hanging around his waist, his sleepy and hazy appearance makes people feel that he really ruined this pair of elite armor. No matter how you look at it, he is not energetic.

"My concubine pays homage to the supreme."

"See you, Supreme."

Sun Quan couldn't keep his eyes on Sun Shangxiang and Guan Feng for a long time, so he had to turn his head and say to Sun Shao, who didn't seem to wake up, "Feng Xian, are you finally willing to come?"

Sun Shao grinned and said dryly, "No, I came here early this morning, and I'm still not energetic."

"Vertical." Sun Quan couldn't laugh or cry. He called him aside and scolded in a low voice, "Is it necessary for you to be so flamboyant? This is a military camp. Let two women walk around in military uniforms?

"What's wrong with the barracks?" Sun Shao rolled his eyes and said confidently, "It was the military camp that made them dress like this. The lady is a female family. Of course, she can wear regular clothes. They are the bodyguards of the guard lady. That is, the sergeant. What do you wear without military uniforms?

"Are you still reasonable?" Sun Quan shook his head helplessly: "What's wrong with that big tiger? You also let her be a bodyguard? It's really thanks to you that you even gave her such a sharp knife. What if you hurt someone?

"This is not what I want. She chased me by herself. Madam nodded, and I agreed." Sun Shao jumped aside and looked at Sun Quan: "If my uncle doesn't agree, I'll come back now, which will cost me a lot of money."

Sun Quan was so angry that he couldn't speak. Looking at Sun Luban's precious appearance, can he come back at this time? He raised his hand to Sun Shao and stared at him: "Ji Zi, don't talk nonsense. It's not at home in the camp. Let you fool around."

"I said I wouldn't come. I'm not free to come." Sun Shao complained twice in frustration and waved to Sun Luban. Sun Quan quickly grabbed him and said helplessly, "Okay, let's talk about this later. Let me tell you the business first. Last time you said you were going to do business, I discussed it with Zhujun. They have different opinions. You have to answer them in person, and then make a decision. Prepare it yourself.

"Oh." Sun Shao answered, opened his mouth wide and yawned loudly: "Supreme, is there anything else? If not, let me sleep for a while first. I will be called up by them before dawn. I'm so sleepy.

"You..." Sun Quan couldn't help it anymore. He raised his hand and gave it to Sun Shao: "Are you still sleepy? I haven't slept all night. I'm not as sleepy as you are. Fortunately, you have the nerve to say it. I used to get up to practice martial arts before dawn, but now I sleep until I wake up naturally every day?

"Ah? Ah!" Sun Shao was stunned for a moment, and then nodded blankly. He looked at Sun Quan stupidly with his mouth open. After a while, he closed his mouth, raised his sleeves and wiped the corners of his mouth. He explained, "I now find that I don't need to work so hard."

Sun Quan's face darkened and he was a little unhappy. Sun Shao's words were a little out of the words.

Sun Shao smiled and said, "I have entered the realm of going in and out of my heart. I don't need to practice so hard."

Sun Quan frowned, looked at Sun Shao with a lustful face, and didn't say anything. He was guessing whether what Sun Shao said was true or against his will. Unfortunately, Sun Shao's face could not see anything other than sleepiness. He felt bored, so he had to wave his hand and asked Zhou Xun to take them to the tent that had already been arranged.

Three or four months after Jianye, this was Sun Shao's first close contact with Zhou Xun. Even on the day of his wedding, although Zhou Xun came to congratulate him, he did not talk to him. On that day, he was too busy to care about Zhou Xun at all. It's just that Zhou Xun's face was a little unnatural today. He glanced at him and hurriedly led the way.

"Brother, what's wrong with him?" Sun Luban took Sun Shao's hand and pointed to Zhou Xun's back and asked softly.

"I don't know, I'm probably bullied." Sun Shao said casually.

"I know." Sun Luban nodded thoughtfully and curled his lips: "He must be sad because I cut off his knife. Well, a handsome boy is so stingy. He is still the son of the governor. He is not promising!"

"Poo--" Sun Shao suddenly laughed and squatted aside and coughed. Zhou Xun, who is regarded as the representative of a new generation of heroes in Wu County, was so unbearable by a little girl. I don't know what Zhou Xun thinks.

Zhou Xun was also very depressed, but he couldn't say anything. He could only pretend not to hear it and walked his head sullenly. Sun Luban jumped in front of him reluctantly, crossed his waist, stared at him with his face up and shouted, "Hey! Don't cry. At worst, I'll compensate you with a knife. I'm crying with a sad face to make others think I've bullied you.

Zhou Xun was extremely embarrassed, but he couldn't be angry with Sun Luban. He could only glare at his subordinates who endured the pain of laughter next to him: "What are you doing standing? Why don't you bring the advanced account to check it?"

"Oh." Several soldiers did not dare to neglect, so they quickly agreed and quickly entered the big account.

"Big tiger, don't be presumptuous." Seeing Zhou Xun's embarrassment, Mrs. Bu quickly drank Sun Luban and smiled apologetically: "I have no way to teach. General, please forgive me." Don't dare." Zhou Xun hurriedly returned the gift.

"Humph!" Sun Luban was blamed by his mother and subconsciously accumulated hatred on Zhou Xun. He stared at Zhou Xun and swaggered into the big account. Zhou Xun smiled helplessly, walked to Sun Shao, who pretended to see the scenery, and coughed dryly: "Brother, the tent arranged by the supreme for the virtuous and the same is nearby. Please follow me."

Sun Shao did not say anything, pointing to Qiao Yue, Guan Xiaoqing and Shuai Zeng, who were accompanying him, and asked them to follow with their luggage. The big account arranged by Sun Quan for him is not too far from Mrs. Bu and Sun Quan's office. Sun Shangxiang's big account is close to the side. The tent is not small, and the decoration is quite high-grade. Sun Shao was very satisfied and nodded repeatedly.

Zhou Xun didn't say anything until he was properly arranged and said softly at the moment he passed by, "Thank you for your understanding."

Sun Shao didn't sound like he had heard of it.
