In the Three Kingdoms period, the opening scene features the killing of Huang Gai, shocking Zhou Yu!

North Gate.

early morning.

Zhao Yun got up very early.

Behind him stood five hundred White Feather Soldiers.

At this moment, they were all disguised as porters and errand boys.

They were pushing dozens of large carts.

The vehicle was piled high with tents, grills, and wine jars for winter hunting.

They really do look like a logistics team going out for team building.

Arrived at the South Gate.

The soldiers guarding the city were still yawning.

I drank too much yesterday.

Although they weren't qualified to enter the inner palace, they still managed to get a fair share of the wine that Lord Wu had bestowed upon them.

A group of people walked over.

The gatekeeper shuddered.

Half of my drowsiness vanished instantly.

Those guarding the gate had barely seen Zhao Yun either.

But judging from the outline, that is it.

"Stop! What are you doing?"

Zhao Yun reined in his horse.

"Open the door."

"By order of Lord Wu, go outside to set up the hunting grounds, clear out the wild animals, and arrange the ancestral worship ceremony."

Zhao Yun dismounted and handed over the token.

He casually slipped a silver ingot to her.

"Brothers, you've worked hard. There's a lot to do today, so we need to get out and make arrangements as soon as possible."

The soldier touched the silver.

He looked at the token again.

It's all true.

Looking at Zhao Yun, he had a very reluctant expression on his face.

"Since it is Lord Wu's order, General, please proceed! If you manage to hunt any wild boar or deer, you'll reward the brothers with a bowl of soup later!"

The soldier smiled ingratiatingly.

They waved to signal for passage.

Zhao Yun cupped his hands in greeting.

He didn't say much.

"Set off."

……

9:00 AM (巳时).

Liu Bei and Sun Shangxiang's carriages appeared slightly more understated, but the entourage was still quite impressive.

The all-female soldiers also have a unique charm.

On the carriage.

There was no affection between the couple.

Even the distance between the seats was kept very far apart.

Liu Bei was dressed in casual clothes today and looked quite content.

"Liu Huangshu,"

"Once you leave Jiangdong, you'd better leave that bastard Zhao Yu with me."

"Don't worry, Madam."

"Although I am not talented, I keep my promises."

"That kid Zhao Yu, he really had no defenses against my brothers and Zilong."

"Once we reach the other side of the river safely, we should immediately arrange for someone to drug him, tie him up like a dumpling, and send him to the lady's tent."

"At that time, whether to steam, boil, kill, or... cough cough, that will be entirely up to Madam's wishes."

As for outside, the soldiers guarding the city hadn't even had a chance to salute.

The girls under Sun Shangxiang raised their riding whips.

"What are you all standing there for? Get out of the way! You've delayed the lady's winter hunt, and you'll be held accountable!"

There was no time to strike up a conversation.

Make way immediately.

Liu Bei, who was inside the carriage, was startled by the noise.

"Aren't we being a bit too harsh? Don't scare the people."

Sun Shangxiang glanced at him sideways.

"This is Jiangdong, not Jingzhou. What do you know?"

"In Jiangdong, the weaker you are, the more others will want to ride roughshod over you. If you continue to be so subservient, we'll never leave the city in our lifetime!"

……

After leaving the city, we headed west.

Although they allowed it to pass.

But when Zhou Yu went back and thought about it yesterday, he felt that something was not right.

So he set up a "stub".

The car traveled six or seven miles.

We arrived at a narrow pass.

After passing this pass, and walking a few more miles...

That is Shili Pavilion.

That is, the meeting point agreed upon with Zhao Yu.

The convoy stopped.

"What happened?"

A female soldier's voice came from outside the car: "Madam, someone is blocking the road."

Liu Bei's heart skipped a beat.

Here it comes, Zhou Yu's backup plan.

He knew that Zhou Lang wouldn't give in so easily.

"Lift the curtain."

The carriage curtain was lifted.

In the middle of the road ahead.

A group of people stood sideways.

There weren't many people, only about a hundred.

The entire force consisted of elite troops from Jiangdong, known as the "Jiangxi Patrol Guard."

Two key generals were leading the charge.

The one on the left, with his hand on the hilt of his knife, is Xu Sheng.

The one on the right, carrying a long-handled broadsword, is Ding Feng.

These two are notorious "roadblocks" in Jiangdong.

Xu Sheng urged his horse forward.

He didn't dismount.

He simply clasped his hands slightly in greeting, which was considered a proper salutation.

"This humble general, Xu Sheng, greets the Madam and the Imperial Uncle."

Sun Shangxiang did not move.

She just stared at him coldly.

"A good dog doesn't block the way. What does General Xu mean by this?"

Xu Sheng gave a forced smile.

He had made ample mental preparations.

"Princess, please calm your anger. It is not that I am blocking your way, but the road ahead is treacherous."

He pointed behind him.

"Last night the earth shook, and the road ahead is blocked two miles away, making it difficult for carriages to travel."

"The Commander-in-Chief has ordered that, for the safety of the Imperial Uncle and the Princess, you two must follow me on a different route."

Detour?

Upon hearing this, Liu Bei, who was in the carriage, thought that this change might lead him to some military camp.

Or we could simply circle back to Jianye City.

This is a soft knife.

You won't be able to find any fault with it.

I had to hold my breath and go back.

Liu Bei wanted to say a few more polite words.

"fart."

It came straight out of Sun Shangxiang's mouth.

Sun Shangxiang stood up.

Step out of the carriage.

Standing on the shaft of the cart.

"Xu Wenxiang, do you take me for a fool?"

"The earth dragon stirred up trouble last night? I didn't feel anything. Are you an earth dragon? Why are you so sensitive to soil?"

Xu Sheng's face stiffened.

"This humble general dares not speak presumptuously, it is indeed..."

"Shut up!"

"I walked this road just last month. The rocks are solid, they haven't moved in a hundred years. You're telling me it's collapsed?"

"I think it's not the road that collapsed, it's your brain, Xu Sheng, that collapsed!"

Xu Sheng felt a little embarrassed.

Someone pointed their finger at me and called me brain-damaged.

But he dared not show it.

In this world, connections matter.

This woman's surname is Sun. She is the lord's younger sister and the darling of the Queen Dowager.

At least he can't be hit or scolded.

"Military orders are absolute. If the commander says the road has collapsed, then it has collapsed. If the princess insists on proceeding and injures her, I cannot bear the responsibility."

This is something we have to tough it out on.

Using Zhou Yu to intimidate others.

Inside the carriage, Liu Bei's palms were sweaty.

He had already reached for the double-edged sword beside him.

If all else fails, we'll have to charge in alongside these female soldiers.

"Trying to intimidate me with Zhou Yu?"

He jumped off the car.

He walked step by step toward Xu Sheng.

With each step taken, their momentum grows stronger.

"Xu Sheng, listen to me carefully."

"This Jiangdong region is inhabited by the Sun family."

"I am the eldest daughter of the Sun family."

"This road, even if it collapses, even if it turns into a sea of ​​fire, it will be a sea of ​​fire for the Sun family."

"I want to leave, who dares to stop me?"

"Aren't you afraid I'll have Zhou Yu kill you?"

Xu Sheng remained silent.

"Princess, please don't make things difficult for me."

"Difficult to do?"

"You're not having a hard time at all!"

"You blocked my car, ruined my mood, and delayed my ancestral worship ceremony. You're the one who put me in a difficult position."

"You murderous bastard, believe it or not, I'll turn back right now and tell the Empress Dowager that I'm not going to pay respects to our ancestors."

I sat down at the entrance of the Wu Marquis's residence and cried! I kept saying, "Xu Sheng, you bullied me!"

Don't you know my dad is Li Gang?

No solution.

Especially since everyone knows that Sun Shangxiang is truly lawless in Jiangdong.

Zhou Yu's order was to "obstruct as much as possible," not to put his head on the line.

If this old lady is really pushed too far, and she goes back and makes a scene, the Empress Dowager will make the final decision, and Sun Quan won't be able to say anything. Xu Sheng will definitely be the one who suffers.

"Wenxiang, forget it. That Liu Bei is a good-for-nothing; he can't make a fuss even if he goes to the river. Why offend Madam over such a trivial matter?"

Seeing that things were not going well, Ding Feng quickly tried to persuade him.
