Walking to the corner of a deserted alley, Zhuge Liang handed the woman a small packet of icing sugar. The woman smiled happily, nodded at the two, turned around and walked away neatly.

Zhuge Liang looked back at Xu Mei, thinking that she would be shocked, but unexpectedly, she just looked at him lightly, with a smile on her lips.

Zhuge Liang always felt that his strategic insight was one of the best in the world.

But when he met Xu Mei's group, he felt frustrated repeatedly.

"Have you thought about it?" He asked tentatively.

Xu Mei shook her head, "No."

Zhuge Liang was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but she added: "I wanted to go directly to the Sun's mansion. Although we arrived a day earlier than the scheduled time, the frontline battle can't wait. I must see Sun Quan today."

Seeing that she was going to continue, Zhuge Liang raised his hand, expressing in pain that he didn't want to listen anymore.

He didn't want to admit that he disrupted Xu Mei's plan.

But he can make amends, let Xu Mei see Sun Quan today.

That being the case, why not let him make mistakes!

Xu Mei smiled slightly, and didn't say any more.

"Then go ahead, anyway, I've already told you the purpose."

Zhuge Liang smiled gratefully, immediately turned serious, and led Xu Mei out of the alley, observing the surrounding situation, while thinking about ways to enter the Sun's residence.

The two were just walking, and had no interest in the bustling market in Wujun.

Xu Mei has already cultivated to the point that no matter how much her heart shakes, she still has to keep calm on her face.

Zhuge Liang, on the other hand, had no intention of enjoying it at all, and was full of thoughts, how could he see Sun Quan as quickly as possible.

He knew that Xu Mei must have found a way, but she didn't say it because she wanted to test him.

The reserve knowledge in Zhuge Liang's mind is as wide as the sea. He regards himself as a machine, and "swipes" in his mind to filter out useful information.

Finally, when he finished walking a street, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind: "Yes!"

Xu Mei stopped in her tracks.

"Sister Xu, can you give me two more packs of icing sugar?" Zhuge Liang asked tentatively.

Xu Mei generously took out two packs of white sugar wrapped in oiled paper and handed it over, "Here."

Seeing that Xu Mei didn't take these rare white sugar seriously at all, Zhuge Liang's heart ached violently.

He asked Xu Mei to wait at a foot shop on the side of the street, put down the box by himself, and hurried away with two bags of sugar.

Xu Mei simply squatted down in the shade, propped up the box with one hand, and fanned the fan with the other. She scanned everything in front of her with her sharp eyes, feeling in her heart that it is indeed a granary in the south of the Yangtze River, and Wu County is indeed rich.

Since the Sun family is not short of money, if they want to exchange it for profit, I am afraid that Sun Quan will not be tempted.

If Qian Boshi doesn't even move, then she can only use her trump card!

"I am back!"

The tall young man ran over with his head covered in sweat, "I'll fix it, Sister Xu, follow me!"

Xu Mei patted her numb legs, and took a look at the electronic watch from the pocket of her short-sleeved jacket. It was already two o'clock in the afternoon, and Zhuge Liang had been gone for an hour and a half.

Zhuge Liang watched Xu Mei put away the watch greedily, and made up his mind that this time he must exchange his credit for such a fetish!

Xu Mei played the fan, Zhuge Liang carried the box on his back, and the two came to a typical Jiangnan mansion with three entrances and deep courtyards.

An ox cart covered with straw lay across the open space in front of the gate, with two mats placed on it.

That mat is not for ordinary use, but a rotten straw mat specially used to wrap the dead.

This kind of performance art has already attracted a lot of onlookers. The bullock cart was left unattended, but it was not lost.

Xu Mei had to sigh again, the life of the people in Wu County is really good.

If it were a different place, with the same scene, there might not even be a single grass left in the ownerless bullock cart.

"Sister Xu, lie down." Zhuge Liang opened the mat and gave Xu Mei a trusting look.

Xu Mei didn't talk nonsense, she just lay down on it.

Zhuge Liang put the box by Xu Mei's hand, then pulled the ox cart and strode towards the gate of the Sun Mansion.

The guards at the gate had long been alarmed by the onlookers, and they recognized Zhuge Liang.

This kid came here before, saying that he was an envoy of the Xu family army, who came to meet their lord and discuss important matters.

Now who doesn't know that Xu and Cao are fighting in full swing in the north?
This envoy from the Xu family army must be in trouble!

Besides, the envoys of the Cao family just came a few days ago, how dare they let the envoys of the Xu family in at this critical juncture?
If the envoys of the Cao family know about this, I am afraid that the Lord will offend the Cao family severely.

Therefore, when Zhuge Liang appeared earlier, the guards directly sent him away, fearing that the matter would be troubled by Cao's envoys, so they didn't even dare to tell Sun Quan.

Now seeing Zhuge Liang appearing with great fanfare, the guards in front of the Sun Mansion's gate only felt a headache.

"What should I do?" Several guards looked at each other in blank dismay, panicked.

One of them asked the other three to guard first, and ran towards the mansion.

"My lord! My lord!"

"It's not good, the envoy of the Xu family army is here!"

Sun Quan and others, who were discussing with their staff how to respond to the request of Cao Jun's envoys to send troops, stood up in a jerk.

"How come so fast!" This is the collective voice of the staff.

Moreover, the most unbelievable thing is, isn't the Xu family army far away in the north?
When they thought of Wu County, they had to cross the territory of the Cao family to get there. Even without the intervention of the Cao family, they would have come all the way, it shouldn't be so fast!

Sun Quantong's subordinates looked at each other in blank dismay, and Qiqi's face darkened.

The guard said: "My lord, the two envoys of the Xu family army are wrapped in the dead man's mat and lying on the bullock cart. They said that they know that you have your own thoughts in your heart. They don't intend to interfere with you, but they just want to say something to you."

"Also, if you are worried that Cao Jun will misunderstand, and Cao's envoys think that you have two intentions for letting them enter the mansion, they are willing to wrap their seats inside and keep still. If you don't agree, you will directly kill them If you pull it out, Cao's envoys won't misunderstand."

After hearing the guard's words, the Sun's staff were all taken aback.

This method is really wonderful!

It seems that the envoys of the Xu family army on this mission are not simple people.

Sun Quan felt itchy. In fact, these were exactly what he was afraid of, but the other party had thought of all his concerns.

"What do you think?" Sun Quan asked the staff behind him.

They were hesitating whether to get involved in the battle between the Xu family army and the Cao family.

On the one hand, their Sun family is still an official of the imperial court in name, and they did not establish themselves as kings like Xu Jiajun.

Therefore, the envoy Cao came to dispatch troops with the emperor's edict. It stands to reason that they would die if they did not obey the edict.

Of course, if you resist now, you won't die immediately.

What Sun Quan and others were worried about was that in the battle in the north, if the Cao family won a complete victory, they would definitely use this as an excuse to send troops to Jiangdong.

But what if Xu Jiajun wins?
As a result, it didn't seem to be any better for them, Mrs. Sun.

The centipede is dead but not stiff, it is impossible for Xu Jiajun to beat Cao to death in this battle.

Then when Cao Shi regained his strength, he would still turn around and target Jiangdong.

Wait, Sun Quan recalled the thoughts he had just flashed.

He seems, as if, all he thinks about is the consequences of not sending troops!
