Chapter 36 Bullying you is for your own good

The sun in Panyu set nearly half an hour later than that of Jianye. The dinner in the Taishou's house began to be eaten until dawn until it was dark. From time, laughter came out from time to time. Obviously, the guests talked happily. Poor Zhuge Ke was the only one who sat in the front hall hungry and angry, without even a mouthful of tea. He didn't dare to leave, so he had to hold on. In his smooth life, this was the most difficult time ever.

It was getting dark. A little maid came, lit a lamp for him, and then gave him a glass of water. She looked at him with pity and left without saying a word. Zhuge Ke looked at the glass of clear water, and his tears almost fell. He never thought that a glass of water was also precious. Sun Shao is too cruel. It's midsummer. Panyu is hot to death. The front hall is very sultry, and he is sweaty all over, but he doesn't even drink his mouth water.

I don't know how long he waited, Zhuge Ke finally saw an acquaintance. Shen Xuan came in from the outside with his hands behind his back, followed by two attendants, carrying a lot of burdens in his hands, bulging, and he didn't know what he was carrying.

"Yuan Xun, why are you here?" Shen Xuan was very surprised to see Zhuge Ke. He talked to Zhuge Ke several times on the way back, and he liked this quick-thinking teenager very much.

Zhuge Ke quietly moved his numb legs and smiled, "General has something to ask. Ke is ordered to wait here."

Shen Xuan turned his eyes and immediately understood that Sun Shao was doing something bad for him. He looked at Zhuge Ke, waved his hand to the attendant to one side, and stretched out his hand to help Zhuge Ke up. Zhuge Ke's legs were no longer conscious, swaying, and almost fell down. Shen Xuan held him hard, looked at his teeth clenched because of persistence, and said with a smile, "Do you hate the general?"

Zhuge Ke slapped his cheek. Of course, he hated it, but it can't be said that Shen Xuan is Sun Shao's long history. If the words are going to spread to Sun Shao's ears, who knows what will happen? He shook his head and forced a smile, "How dare you hate the general?"

"It's right not to hate it." Shen Xuan said solemnly, "General, I love you."

Zhuge Ke was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked up at Shen Xuan. Shen Xuan's eyes were calm and peaceful, and he couldn't see any hypocrisy. He patted Zhuge Ke on the shoulder: "You are a smart person. You don't need me to say it too clearly, you can figure it. Don't wait. The general will definitely not see you today. He doesn't have any official business. He must be gossiping with his wife.

"But..." Zhuge Ke was confused.

"Well, don't worry, at the general's place, I'll talk about it. You go back and have a rest first." Shen Xuan clapped his hands and called his entourage: "Send Zhuge back to the post hall."

"Oh." The two attendants answered with no expression on their faces, took Zhuge Ke, who could not walk, and put him out of the Taishou Mansion. Zhuge Ke sat in his car and didn't say anything. After a long time, he suddenly realized and patted his thigh gently: "So it is."

Yes, Sun Quan and Sun Shao are at peace with each other and guard against each other. This is very obvious. Isn't Sun Quan sending him to escort Sun Shangxiang to Panyu because he is relieved of Zhuge Ke? If Sun Shao is good to him, can Sun Quan be relieved? Sun Shao did this for his future. Alas, it's really his fault. It's a misunderstanding of a gentleman. This time, it's worth it. I went back and told Sun Quanyi that he would definitely be appointed. Zhuge Ke figured out this truth, and the depression and depression just now immediately dissipated. Not only did he not have any resentment against Sun Shao, but he was very grateful. He made up his mind and was also psychologically prepared to endure hardships along the way. The more Sun Shao gives him hardships, the better it is for him. No wonder he is so rude to his father. That's why.

Back to the post hall, Zhuge Ke had a full meal, and then fell asleep in a good mood.

"Am I so good?" In the study of the Taishou Mansion, Sun Shao was ridiculous. Shen Xuan smiled with a bad smile: "General, why do you have to be angry with a child? This boy is smart and can bear, but he is more ruthless. Although you don't have to be afraid of him, you don't need to be an enemy."

Sun Shao did not answer him. He was not very clear about Zhuge Ke. He only knew that he seemed to be really awesome in Eastern Wu later. He was a great man in the late Eastern Wu Dynasty. When Shen Xuan was fifteen years old, he saw that he was a talent and his vision was really good. He doesn't want to discuss this meaningless topic anymore. Whether Zhuge Ke has talent or not, he won't follow him anyway. Their father and son are Sun Quan's best friends, and they have nothing to do with Sun Ce.

"See you, what's the Supreme's reaction?"

"There is no response." Shen Xuan smiled faintly and his face was very calm: "For someone like me, Jiangdong is not one or two. Besides, I'm just following a general who has no future now. What else can he be afraid of?"

Sun Shao picked the corners of his mouth.

"He was very satisfied when he saw the drawings and the general's book. He praised you for your loyalty, insight, and no plan in front of Gu Gong."

"Is it?" Sun Shao took a sip of water: "There's nothing practical about these empty words?"

"It's said to be rewarded, but it will be decided after you go back to Jianye."

"Grandma's." Sun Shao cursed secretly.

Shen Xuan hesitated for a moment and said softly, "Hui Shu has become the east of the general's mansion."

Sun Shao frowned and seemed to be a little unhappy. Shen Xuan looked at it and asked quietly, "General, do you think it's not good?"

"It's not good." Sun Shao glanced at Shen Xuan and tilted the corners of his mouth, "What do you think?"

Shen Xuan also smiled, and he nodded slowly: "I don't think it's good either." Then he didn't explain, just sitting with a smile on the corners of his mouth. Sun Shao looked at him for a while and scolded with a smile, "Chuzi, what are you pretending to be deep? You are not like the attitude of a guest."

Shen Xuan said calmly, "The master is the king, the friend is the hegemony, and the disciple is dead."

"And." Sun Shao rolled his eyes and turned his head. Shen Xuan's meaning is clear to him. He is still beating around the bush and unyieldingly advising him to stand on his own feet. However, his mind can deceive others, but it is impossible to completely deceive Shen Xuan, and he really needs people like Shen Xuan to help him. After thinking for a moment, he said lightly, "Hui Shu is talented and has a high knowledge, but he has a shortcoming and is also obvious. He is too clear about people, and his concept of right and wrong is too heavy. How many of those people can pay attention to him now? But which one can he move? He can do something else, but this position... is not suitable for him. I'm afraid... it's a curse.

Shen Xuan raised his eyebrows and didn't say anything for a long time. When he saw Zhang Wen, who had just been promoted, he also had this feeling in Jianye. He also advised Zhang Wen to be careful, but Zhang Wen was proud and couldn't listen to it at all. Instead, he half-jokingly said that he was jealous. Shen Xuan can also understand Zhang Wen's current mood. Zhang Wen's father, Zhang Yun, used to be Sun Quan's Dong Caoyu. Now his son inherits father's career, which not only represents that he has officially entered an official career, but also shows that he has replaced Zhang Yun's position in Sun Quan's mind, indicating that Sun Quan trusts him, just as he trusted Zhang Yun at the beginning.

Shen Xuan can't persuade him too much. These words can only be clicked. He is Zhang Wen's friend. Of course, he also hopes that Zhang Wen can go smoothly. He was worried that Sun Shao would be unhappy. After all, Zhang Wen's behavior was equivalent to using him and then betraying him, but he didn't expect that Sun Shao was worried about Zhang Wen. This kind of tolerance was like the ancients, which moved Shen Xuan very much.

"As the general said, the first thing he did when he took office was to recommend Ji Yan and Xu Biao to choose Cao Lang to the Supreme." Shen Xuan sighed, "I'm really worried about him."

Sun Shao's eyelids couldn't help jumping. Xu Biao didn't know him. Even Ji Yan had contact with him for a period of time. That person, like Zhang Wen, he was also a smart person, and his temper was the same. The difference between right and wrong was too clear. This kind of person is morally a gentleman, but a place like officialdom is not a decent man to play. Where you have to turn, to be a gentleman, you must have enough strength to make those villains unable to move you, and there must be enough wisdom to make those villains' annihire plans unable to succeed, and Zhang Wenwen and Jiyan may have wisdom, but they have no strength. If they can slow down, they may succeed, but they can't tolerate it in their eyes. Goods of sand.

These two people are tragic, it's just a matter of time.

"Didn't you persuade him?"

"It's useless to persuade you." Shen Xuan smiled bitterly, "Whose can he hear now?"

"Don't worry, it won't happen for a while." Sun Shao comforted him and said, "Now the Supreme wants me to go back to the funeral. What do you think?"

"I think I should go back." Shen Xuan blurted out without thinking. Obviously, he had already made a decision and was waiting for Sun Shao to ask. Shen Xuan glanced at Sun Shao, took a sip of water, and then said, "This time Sun Jizuo passed away, the dissatisfaction of the Sun clan was very obvious. He was under pressure. He summoned the general back. It was impossible for him to do anything unfavorable to the general. On the contrary, in order to appease the Sun clan, he would make a gesture of reusing the general. At that time, whether the general refuses or accepts it, it will be logical, but if the general does not go back, the responsibility will be all on the general. This will not only lose an opportunity, but also lead to the dissatisfaction of the whole public.

"Is it so serious?" Sun Shao pinched his fingers, but he was a little out of his mind.

"Yes." Shen Xuan nodded solemnly: "No matter how capable the general is, how can he distinguish it from the whole Sun clan?"

Sun Shao is a little uncertain. He finally jumped out of Jianye, and now he is foolish to get back? It's so uncomfortable to stay with Sun Quan, which makes me unhappy. However, what Shen Xuan said also makes sense. If he doesn't go back, he not only looks guilty, but also a little self-defense to the people. In the future, Sun Quan will deal with him again, but he will not help him speak. What's more, he didn't live an uncomfortable life in Jiaozhou. Not only the old fox of the scholar's family, but also the wolf Bu Qian, all of whom wanted to use him to destroy each other.

When Shen Xuan saw Sun Shao's eyes flashing and knew that he was weighing the pros and cons, he couldn't help but feel a little excited. Sun Shao weighed these, which showed that he was not really willing to give up. He was just choosing the safest way, which was what he wanted. He turned his eyes and smiled, "General, I was in Panyu City just now. I heard a lot of people praising the general's reputation, saying that I have gained a lot from this expedition to sea to fight against pirates."

Sun Shao looked at Shen Xuan with slanted eyes, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, as if smiling. Shen Xuan wiped his nose with some embarrassment. Sun Shao was not a fool. His reminder was a little too straightforward.

"I'll think about it again." Sun Shao did not answer immediately. He got up and said apologetically, "I've been at sea for more than two months. I'm a little tired. Silence. Anyway, it's not too late for a while, and it won't be a problem to delay for two days."

Shen Xuan nodded and got up to say goodbye.

Sun Shao got up, stretched out, and did a few movements. He was suddenly refreshed. He went out of the study and came to the bedroom. Guan Feng hadn't slept yet. He leaned on the bedside and was reading a book. Guan Xiaoqing put her leg down on her leg for massage. Qiaoyue was holding an unspeakable fruit and was using it. The spoon dug out the pulp and sent it to Guan Feng's mouth. Hearing Sun Shao's footsteps, all three stopped.

"Does it look good?" Sun Shao stretched out his head and glanced at it. He saw that Guan Feng was looking at the voyage he had just brought back.

"Good-looking." Guan Feng's eyes flashed and she said with a smile, "There are still people who have so many patterns on their faces, which looks terrible. The South China Sea is really strange, and there are too many things that have never been heard of. Husband, if your book is sent to Jianye, I'm afraid it will be similar to the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

Sun Shao laughed, patted Guan Xiaoqing on the shoulder, and asked her to retreat to one side. He took Guan Feng's slightly puffy legs and slowly stroked them. Isn't it just that I'm absurd? Let's go as they say. I have what I have seen with my own eyes, and some are based on reliable sources of information. The credibility is always higher than those of the three emperors and five emperors. What's wrong with the Classic of Mountains and Seas? I can tell you that what is said in the Classic of Mountains and Seas may be true, but they have misunderstood it. When I build the fleet, I will go to sea to verify the mountains and seas. Don't always limit your eyes to such a sky. There are many places larger than the territory of the big man.

Guan Feng wanted to refuse, but he stopped him, so he had to hide again. Sun Shao spent a few months on the boat, and his hands were obviously much rougher. Everywhere he went, the crisp feeling made Guan Feng tremble a little, and a stream of heat surged into his face.

"Husband..."

"Hmm." Sun Shaodong said that he didn't notice Guan Feng's strangeness. He told Guan Feng what he saw and heard at sea with great interest. He talked about the various situations that occurred when he fought pirates on the way. Some were smooth, some were not smooth, and some were almost overturned by pirates. Guan Xiaoqing and others heard it like crazy. Qiao Yue stared at Sun Shao. The fruit in her hand was subconsciously sent to her mouth. Guan Feng didn't notice it. A pair of phoenix eyes just stared at Sun Shao's face, and her face was full of red glow.

"You little greedy cat, you can't even grab your wife's snacks." Sun Shao stretched out his hand and flicked Qiao Yue's forehead. Qiao Yue was shocked. Only then did he find that he had eaten Guan Feng's fruit. He couldn't help blushing with shame. He quickly got up and said, "I'll get it again."

"No, I'm full, too. You bring some water to rinse my mouth. I'm going to rest."

"Oh." Qiao Yue giggled and ran away with only one shell of fruit left. Guan Xiaoqing served them, took off their coats, helped Guan Feng to bed, put down the silk tent, and then left the room. Sun Shao took off his underwear, leaving only one pair of trousers, jumped on the bed, half leaned on **, picked up a cattail fan, and gently fanned it. The red tent, which was as light as thin smoke, shook gently with the wind, like a flowing light.

Guan Feng leaned her head on Sun Shao's chest. Her cheeks were a little hot, and her voice could not mutter clearly.

"Husband..."

"Huh?" Sun Shao was thinking about it. Hearing Guan Feng call him, he looked down and couldn't help but be a little strange: "What's wrong with you?"

Guan Feng raised her head angrily, stared at him with resentment, biting her lips and didn't say anything. Sun Shao suddenly realized that he hugged her shoulder with one hand, nodded her nose with the other hand, and said with a smile, "Little greedy cat, greedy?"

"I miss you." Guan Feng put her arms around Sun Shao's neck and said shyly, "Since we got married, we haven't been separated for so long. This time you go to sea for 72 days. Say, have you been fooling around in the camp?"

"Camp record? You think the boat is so empty, and there is a camp record? Sun Shao glanced at her, stretched out his hand around her chest, and gently stroked the two balls of soft meat. Guan Feng moaned, closed her eyes, and put her hot lips close to Sun Shao's ear: "I have to check it to believe it. Let's see if there is any other fishy smell on your body besides the smell of the sea."

"Hahaha..." Sun Shao put Guan Feng on his back, bent down, looked at her red face, and smiled softly, "Madam, you should be careful. I have accumulated ammunition for 72 days**."

"Come here." Guan Feng turned her head in embarrassment, raised her arm to cover her red face, and said with a smile.

The red tent is blowing, the sandalwood bed is soft, the spring breeze is swaying, and the flowers are speechless overnight.

At dawn the next day, Sun Shao opened his eyes and saw Guan Feng sitting half looking at him. He couldn't help but be shocked: "Madam, although the strong wine is good, don't be greedy for a glass."

"Dock." Guan Feng blushed, bit her lips and smiled, and said, "Husband, I'll accompany you to Jianye."

"Go to Jianye?" Sun Shao was stunned and took a smile. He looked at Guan Feng's raised abdomen: "The road is far away and the waves are bumpy. It's not a joke. In case... When it comes to Jianye, you and I can't eat it. If you want your mother to forgive you, you have to wait for the next life."

"Do you really think of me as those delicate women? I'm the tiger girl of the Guan family. Guan Feng looked down at her stomach and whispered, "I am lucky to be a concubine. My husband is spoiled and meticulous. I am not greedy enough, and I can't bear to separate from my husband for such a long time. Besides, I also miss my mother. Let's go back together, let the child be born in Jianye, and let the mother see the child first, which is also a little filial piety for us.

"However, Jianye is dangerous." Sun Shao muttered, "It's more dangerous than the sea."

"It's because of the danger that I want to go with you." Guan Feng said firmly, "In the past two days, the southeast wind has risen. If it goes down with the wind, you can reach Jianye in a month at most. Didn't the husband say that Ge Heng's transformed building boat split the waves like a flat ground? If this naval battle failed, let it take us back to Jianye to see our mother.

Sun Shao hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Okay, you give me two days. I'll ask Ge Heng to fix the two buildings and boats together to make sure they are all lost." He reached out and touched Guan Feng's stomach: "Our family will definitely go to Jianye safely, and then come back safely. I will bring my mother to Panyu and never go back to Jianye's wolf's nest."
