The Three Kingdoms Voyage

Chapter 241 The Pirate Empire's Wishful Wishes

"I'm going, I'm going!" Sun Luban tugged on Sun Shao's sleeves, pouted his buttocks, kicked his legs hard on the ground, and was dragged forward by Sun Shao, looking like a new-style Li, she almost shoveled up the ground in the palace of the Yue Palace. No matter how ugly that image is, it has nothing to do with the noble princess anyway.

Zhou Xun's face was as red as a monkey's ass, and he followed behind in embarrassment, not knowing whether to step forward to persuade him or just watch.He went home and said that Sun Shao might send troops to the South China Sea, but Sun Luban came to his senses and dragged him to the Yue Palace, asking to follow Sun Shao to the South China Sea to see and see.Zhou Xun also wanted to go, and he hoped that Sun Luban could speak to Sun Shaomei for him and let him fight a few battles behind him, but he never expected that Sun Luban would use such a method to stalk Sun Shaomei. Shao's sleeve, Sun Shao will not let go unless she agrees.

God, this is not what a princess should do.Zhou Xun felt ashamed, wishing he could find a crack in the ground and slip in.

"Zhou Boying, do you still care about your wife?" Sun Shao couldn't take it anymore, and shouted anxiously with a pale face: "You are not afraid of shame, I am afraid of shame."

"Who are you throwing away?" Sun Luban took advantage of Sun Shao's chance to stand still, jumped up, threw himself on Sun Shao's back, put his arms around Sun Shao's neck, and wrapped his legs around Sun Shao's waist , said viciously: "If you don't agree, I will pester you forever."

Sun Shao was so strangled by her that he wanted to break her apart with his hands, but he didn't dare to use force, for fear of breaking her little arm.During this hesitation, he was a little out of breath.Seeing his wobbly appearance, Zhou Xun was afraid that he would be strangled to death by Sun Luban, so he rushed over to try to pull Sun Luban away, but was stared at by Sun Luban: "You dare!" and backed away in fright.

"Da...Dahu, you...you come down first, okay?" Sun Shao opened his mouth wide, his tongue almost sticking out. This little girl doesn't look very good, but she really has strength, and she doesn't know how to strike. , These two little arms were like iron, strangling him almost to suffocation.

"If you promise me, I'll let you go." Sun Luban said uneasy.

Sun Shao's legs were trembling, he nodded repeatedly without caring too much, Sun Luban was worried, he confirmed it again, and then let go of his hand.As soon as she jumped down, Sun Shao sat on the ground with a plop, clutching his neck and coughing non-stop.

"Alas——" Guan Feng, who came over after hearing the news, saw Sun Shao's miserable appearance, and raised his hand in anger: "Dahu, are you an assassin sent by your father? Want to strangle you to death?" Brother, right?"

Sun Luban turned to Sun Shao and saw that Sun Shao's face was purple and he looked like he was about to die, only then did he realize that the situation was serious, she looked at her arm and said suspiciously: "No way, am I so strong? "

"You—" Guan Feng was so angry that he couldn't speak, bent down, pulled Sun Shao on his back, and strode away into the apse.Sun Luban didn't care to think too much, and followed into the hall in a hurry. Seeing Sun Shao leaning on Guan Feng, Guan Feng gave him comfort.Sun Luban stuck out his tongue, and cautiously approached Sun Shao, trying his best to appear very quiet, without speaking, he blinked first: "Brother, are you... all right?"

"Woo...cough cough cough..." Sun Shaolian coughed a few times, his face became better, and he pointed at Sun Luban: "You...bring me the knife!"

Sun Luban jumped back in fright, shaking his hands repeatedly: "Brother, I really didn't mean it, I didn't mean to strangle you to death."

"Bring me the knife!" Sun Shao patted the desk and shouted.Immediately, a group of officials with angry eyebrows ran past, drew out their long sabers and held them upside down, and handed them to Sun Shao. Sun Shao took the sabers in his hand, and threw them in front of Sun Luban. There was a sound of Dang Lang, which was very clearly heard in the hall.Sun Luban's face turned pale immediately, and he looked at Sun Shao at a loss. Guan Feng was a little surprised, and was about to speak, when Zhou Xun rushed in three steps at a time, knelt down in front of Sun Shao with a plop, and kowtowed repeatedly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty , the princess is young and ignorant, she offended the king, please forgive her sin and spare her life, I am willing to take it on my behalf."

"Huh? Didn't you say that you don't like Dumb? I killed it for you, so why not just give you your freedom?" Sun Shao laughed, raised his leg and kicked Zhou Xun lightly.Zhou Xun never cared about joking, he just begged again and again, blood was seen on his forehead within a few strokes.At this time, Sun Luban realized that the matter was serious, and her mouth was flattened, and tears slid down. She stepped forward, knelt down side by side with Zhou Xun, helped Zhou Xun up, and said, "Husband, I caused the trouble myself. Eldest brother wants to kill you!" Me, I took it myself, I used to look down on you, but I was wrong, woo woo woo..."

"What are you crying about?" Sun Shao rolled his eyes, and tapped Du Hu's shoulder with the back of his saber: "Get up, and let the eldest brother see how your saber skills are. If it's good, I'll consider whether to take you to the South China Sea."

Sun Luban looked at Sun Shao in surprise and couldn't believe his ears.Zhou Xun was also dumbfounded. He looked at Sun Shao in a daze. Even Guan Feng didn't feel sorry for it for a while. He looked at Sun Shao with an impatient face, and at the tears hanging down his face, but he couldn't help it. Live the smiling Sun Luban.

Sun Luban was the first to react. She jumped up, picked up the knife, put on a posture, and began to practice in the palace.In order to satisfy Sun Shao, she tried her best to show all her abilities. For a while, she was full of swords and shouts.

"How is it?" Sun Shao smiled happily, poked Guan Feng who was at the side, and squeezed his eyes: "My Sun family also has a tiger girl."

"It's not just today that I found out that your Sun family has a tiger girl." Guan Feng glared at Sun Shao angrily, and touched his neck distressedly: "But this is too tiger, almost strangled your neck. Can you still laugh when you see it?"

Sun Shaohou caressed his neck in fear, and said to Sun Luban who was panting and proudly standing in front of him, "Dahu, why are you so strong?"

Sun Luban stuck out his tongue embarrassingly: "My aunt taught me, I practice handstand every day, and now I can hold on for a quarter of an hour."

Sun Shao was dumbfounded.Sun Shangxiang once asked him, saying that no matter how you say it, women are weaker than men in strength, and they suffer a lot in fighting, how can they train their strength to be stronger?Sun Shao taught her a trick, static training, especially handstand, leaning the body against the wall, supporting the ground with both hands, and keeping still. This method is the most obvious way to train upper body strength, but it is very difficult to train. It is boring and bitter, and not many people can persevere.Sun Shangxiang practiced it later, and felt that the effect was really obvious. Now her Flying Tiger Camp regards this as basic training.Sun Shao didn't expect that Sun Luban would do it too, and he could last for a quarter of an hour.A quarter of an hour in this era is equivalent to half an hour in later generations. Not to mention a woman, even a strong man can last for a quarter of an hour.

No wonder her two arms, though not thick, were as strong as iron bars.Sun Shao glanced at Zhou Xun sympathetically, can this body bear it?

"Brother, how is my saber technique?" Sun Luban jumped up and looked at Sun Shao expectantly.

"Proficiency is very skillful, but it's not useful. I don't know anything about luck and strength. It looks like I practiced blindly." Sun Shao nodded appreciatively, stretched out his hand to call Sun Luban to him, and squeezed her shoulder.Sun Luban's shoulders are very strong.Sun Shao looked her up and down again, and finally said: "You child, if you train yourself well, you will definitely be a tiger again on the battlefield."

"Then...will you take me to the South China Sea?" Sun Luban's eyes lit up, he pulled Sun Shao's sleeve and begged, "Brother, teach me."

"Uh——" Sun Shao rolled his eyes and said with a wry smile, "I can teach you martial arts, but whether I can take you to the South China Sea is not up to me. It's not that I won't take you there, you have to ask first. What does your father mean? It is very dangerous to fight a war. No matter how good your martial arts skills are, you cannot be invincible. Maybe a single arrow can kill you. If you have any troubles, I will How do you explain to your father and mother?"

"They don't care about me. I obey my father at home and my husband when I become a monk." Sun Luban winked at Zhou Xun carelessly, and said, "Husband, oh?! You must support me."

Zhou Xun smacked his lips helplessly, not daring to say no: "If His Highness agrees, I am willing to protect the princess and accompany His Highness to go to war together."

"You want to go too?" Sun Shao was surprised.

Zhou Xun hesitated for a moment: "Zhuge Ke has arrived at Qiantang."

Sun Shao nodded, he understood.Sun Deng planned to go to Jiaozhou, but the opportunity to lead the army was not given to Zhou Xun, but to Zhuge Ke.He sat up, pondered for a moment, raised his head again, and looked at Zhou Xundao: "You are still a general of the Wu Kingdom. It seems inappropriate to follow me on the expedition, right? Did Sun Deng agree to accompany you? Why don't you ask for instructions?" King Wu, no matter what, Dumb is also a princess, this is not a trivial matter. If something happens to me, I don't care, I'm afraid your future in Wu country will be ruined."

Zhou Xun said nothing, he had already predicted his future in Wu.Now Sun Quan is not in good health, and Sun Deng has been in charge of the main government affairs. Sun Deng, the prince, is actually half the king of Wu.It was his idea to Sun Deng to cooperate with Sun Shao to go to Jiaozhou, but Sun Deng gave Zhuge Ke the opportunity to lead the army, obviously excluding him from his cronies.Although he didn't understand why Sun Deng would do this in time, the facts were right in front of him, and he couldn't help being a tiger. If he couldn't catch up with Sun Shao this time, then he would really lose both ends.So even though he felt very ashamed, he still expressed his intention to move closer to Sun Shao.

However, Sun Shao didn't know whether he didn't see his situation, or he didn't want to accept him. In short, he seemed to have declined his request.

Zhou Xun is not the kind of person who is so thick-skinned that he is fearless. He still has the arrogance of a scholar to some extent. As soon as Sun Shao revealed this meaning, he didn't know how to go on, so he just sat there silently. .But Sun Luban didn't care, she pestered Sun Shao, pouted and said: "I don't care, you promised me just now, you are the king of Yue, you can't say nothing."

Sun Shao had no choice but to scratch his temples: "You don't care? If you don't care, you have to ask Zigao's opinion, right?"

"Can he just agree?" Sun Luban rolled his eyes.

"It's fine if he agrees." Sun Shao nodded and said: "From now on, you can go to Feihu Camp to participate in training. As long as Zigao agrees to go out with the army, I will take you to fight. Up front, if you can't pass the assessment of Feihuying and become a qualified female pawn, I won't take you there, just like Boying was in Destroying Fengying back then."

"Don't worry." Sun Luban clenched his fist confidently, "I'll go to see my aunt, and I'm sure I'll pass the examination of Feihuying."

"That's not necessarily the case." Sun Shao smiled sinisterly: "You don't have to be strong to become a qualified fighter."

"Hmph!" Sun Luban raised his chin fearlessly, dismissed Zhou Xun, and left Zhou Xun, excitedly heading straight for Sun Shangxiang's mansion.

Zhou Xun and Sun Shao sat opposite each other, silent, and the originally lively hall suddenly became extremely quiet.Seeing that they seemed to have something to say, Guan Feng led them out knowingly.

In Changle Palace, Daqiao held a fan and walked slowly along Yiwan Qingchi. Xiaoqiao followed closely behind, with tears still on his face, looking at Daqiao eagerly.Neither of them wore wooden clogs, but only wore thick footwear, and walked slowly on the path paved with clean and round cobblestones.These stones are different from ordinary stones. They are not only smooth and round, but also colorful. It seems that intentionally or unintentionally, different colors are used to form patterns, but when you look closely, they are chaotic.

"That child, Ayu, still can't turn the corner?" Daqiao was tired from walking, so he sat down by the pool, picked up a little fish food from the basin in the hand of the maid, raised his wrist, and the fish food floated into the water. There were ripples in circles.A few leisurely small fish quickly swam over, spit out a few bubbles, swallowed the fish food into their mouths, flicked their tails, splashed a few splashes, and dived into the shade again.

"Yeah." Xiaoqiao replied vaguely, and said with self-reproach: "I was confused for a while, which caused so many disputes, and I still regret it when I think about it. Sister, I know I was wrong, you just give me a hand."

Daqiao gave her a blank look: "Aren't I going to help you? But who would have thought that Aman always listened to me more, but this time he was a little bit twisted, and he refused to let go of what he said. Oh, I see, He is so angry that he can't figure it out for a while, please give me some time, I will persuade him, it should be useful." She looked around and lowered her voice to persuade: "You don't know yet He, if he didn't care too much, how could he be so angry? Although he has two women, Guan Feng and Xiahou Hui, how can these two women compare with Ayu? Well, they are all from a marriage, what kind of relationship did they have originally, how can it compare to Ayu growing up with him? It's just, alas, it's been a long journey."

Daqiao sighed and shook his head helplessly.

Xiaoqiao frowned, and said tentatively: "Sister, do you mean that Aman still has feelings for Ayu? It's just that he likes it so much that he hates it so much?"

"That's what I guessed, but I really don't know what he is thinking." Daqiao stepped on the colorful stones under his feet, and sighed again, "No matter how difficult things were in the past, as long as I told him, he would do it. Only this time..." She shook her head, the gold bracelet in her hair glistening in the sun.

"But, sister, if we still can't get a letter of approval, we can only go back to Jianye." Xiaoqiao turned to the bridge, fell in front of the bridge, rested his head on the lap of the bridge, and gradually calmed down. He said worriedly: "We came to Qiantang on the grounds of Zhongying's wedding. Now that the wedding is over, we should go back. If you don't return after the deadline, Your Majesty will definitely be suspicious. If Ah Man still refuses to forgive us, and we can't rely on Yue, isn't it..."

"Are you still worried about your property in Jianye?" Daqiao glared at her unhappily: "You, you will never forget the calculation, but after calculation and calculation, what good will you end up with? Don't worry, even if It's Aman who doesn't accept you, and won't let you lose money. My other courtyard in Zhuya is several times bigger than this one, so I'll just give you half of it."

Xiaoqiao smiled awkwardly: "Sister, I... I don't think so, I just think it's boring to be in Yue."

"It's boring, boring, I think you are very interesting." Daqiao snorted, turned his head away, and no longer understood Xiaoqiao.Xiaoqiao was very embarrassed, lying there, neither saying nor walking.

"If you really want to march south, I will tell Aman to go to Zhuya, and then you will go with me." Daqiao didn't look at Xiaoqiao, and said lightly: "Stay in Zhuya for a while, slowly, He might be able to untangle his knot."

"Ah." Xiaoqiao felt relieved, since Daqiao invited them to Zhuya, she didn't have to worry about going or staying.

"Let Ayu come and accompany me. I will always be bored in the room, and I will get sick." When Daqiao thought of Zhou Yu, his thin eyebrows trembled, "Just say I miss her."

"Here." Xiaoqiao nodded happily.Daqiao summoned Zhou Yu into the palace, and there would naturally be more opportunities to meet Sun Shao in the future, which might be good for untying the knot between them.

Zhou Yin came over with big strides, stood on the opposite side of the pool and took a look, then laughed loudly and said, "Mum, aunt, where are you?"

Xiaoqiao glanced at him and saw that he was beaming with joy, looking very excited, not as dignified as his status should be, so he scowled and reprimanded unhappily: "What are you doing winking, this is Changle Palace, not Jianye Palace. You are allowed to do whatever you want in the streets and alleys of the city. Your aunt can tolerate you, but if others see it, wouldn't it be troublesome for your aunt to be despised by others?"

Zhou Yin saw that Xiaoqiao was angry, and immediately behaved a little bit. He walked around the pool quickly, and bowed respectfully to the bridge: "Changle Wei Weichenyin, pay homage to the Queen Mother."

Seeing Zhou Yin's serious look, Daqiao couldn't help laughing, rolled his eyes at Xiaoqiao and said: "Okay, you want to train your son to go back to your own house, and you want to make my palace lifeless to be comfortable? Zhongying, Don't pay attention to your mother. Come, sit by my side, and tell me what is happy to make you so happy."

Zhou Yin glanced timidly at the small bridge, walked around to the other side of the bridge, did not dare to sit, but his body relaxed a lot.He leaned close to Daqiao's ear and said excitedly, "Auntie, I might be going on an expedition."

"Expedition?" Daqiao raised his eyebrows, his eyes rolled, and he showed a mischievous expression in an instant: "Who did you lie to?"

"What is cheating?" Zhou Yin poked his neck: "This Changle Weiwei is a lot of people's eyes."

"If that's the case, why don't you want to do it? Do you think the salary is too low?" Daqiao joked.

"No, no." Zhou Yin shook his head again and again: "Am I the kind of person who only has money in his eyes? My elder brother and my aunt have rewarded me so much, plus the gift from this big wedding, I will not be able to use it up in my next life." Ah. I want to make meritorious deeds. How can a man be with a woman every day..."

Before Zhou Yin finished speaking, he saw the eyebrows of the two women in front of him frowned, and immediately knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, and quickly accompanied him with a smile: "Auntie, mother, I don't despise you, I mean that... …Ma Fubo’s famous saying, a man should fight on the battlefield, how can he die on the bed, at the hands of his sons and daughters, shrouded in horse leather, don’t you agree?”

When Xiaoqiao heard this, he took two steps, and pinched Zhou Yin's cheek at lightning speed: "Bah, bah, bah! You stinky mouth, do you know what you are talking about? Why are you talking about such unlucky things?" if?"

Zhou Yin was pinched so painfully by her, he quickly broke away from her hand, jumped aside, covered his mouth and shouted: "Mother, you said that this is Changle Palace and you have to follow some rules, but how can you do it?" Pinch me? I’m a Wei Wei, and I have hundreds of officials under my command, if they see me, what will I do?”

"Hey, you little Zhuzi, do you know how to tell your identity now?" Xiaoqiao raised her eyebrows angrily, and when she caught up with her, Daqiao hurriedly pulled her back: "Okay, okay, wait for Zhongying to finish talking before teaching me a lesson." Not too late. Zhongying, tell me quickly, who do you recommend to replace this Changle Weiwei?"

"I didn't recommend it, I just told my elder brother that I want to go to war." Zhou Yin hid far away and said: "I have already agreed with Ding Feng from the Destruction Front Camp, and I will go to the Destruction Front Camp to be a special officer. I will be promoted again after meritorious service. The eldest brother agreed and said that after finding a suitable candidate, he will let me go."

Daqiao frowned: "Why, is there a big battle? Even the Destroying Front Battalion is going to the battlefield?"

Destroying Fengying is Sun Shao's imperial guards. Sun Shao seldom goes to battle in person now, and he seldom even goes to the front line with him. What Zhou Yin meant just now seemed that the Destroying Front Camp had a chance to participate in the battle, so there must be a big battle going on.

"Going to Rinan." Zhou Yin said excitedly: "Wei Ping, the prefect of Rinan, lost to Lin Yiguo's attack. He has already given up Rinan County and fled to Zhuya. The eldest brother is going to take revenge. For Funan Kingdom to seek justice, this battle must not be a small one."

"Seek justice?" Daqiao and Xiaoqiao were a little surprised. There is no justice at all when there is a war.

"That's right." Zhou Yin puffed up his chest: "Brother said, the merchants killed by Funan Kingdom were from our Yue Kingdom, so this matter is not only a matter of Wu Kingdom, but also a matter of our Yue Kingdom. Brother not only wants to help Nanguo Hand over the murderer, compensate for the loss, and ask them to guarantee the safety of the future life and property of the merchants of the Yue Kingdom. If they fail to agree, then our army of the Yue Kingdom will take revenge by themselves." Zhou Yin stopped and counted with his fingers: "The envoy will set off in two days. According to the time calculation, if King Funan does not agree to the conditions of the eldest brother, then the war should break out between September and October. Hehe, this battle will definitely not end in half a year. I estimate that in half a month at most, the army will move to Zhuya to stand by."
