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

(Bonus chapter for Ma Saifei of Tianjiao City, thank you so much! ʕ ᵔᴥᵔ ʔ)

"We need to make Zhao Yu feel that we value him more than Cao Cao, and give him the greatest title in the world."

Sun Quan's eyes lit up.

The power of language.

That's impressive.

Not only did it appease Cao Cao, but it also annoyed Liu Bei and, incidentally, seduce Zhao Yu. Even if the seduction failed, it would still cause some trouble for Zhao Yu in Cao Cao's camp.

Killing three birds with one stone

"it is good."

"Do as you say."

"Let's not talk about bringing Shangxiang back anymore. Not only will we not bring her back, we'll send her off in a grand and ostentatious manner!"

"Bu Zhi!" Sun Quan called out to the outside.

"Here," a scholar replied as he entered.

"Go and do it right away!"

Sun Quan pointed at Lu Su,

"Discuss with Zijing, and bring back the brightest pearls and corals, as well as a few chefs who are best at cooking Jiangdong cuisine to cook for Shangxiang, and the most skillful craftsmen. Basically, bring back anything that is not available in the North."

I'm going to give Zhao Yu... no, I'm going to give my 'good brother-in-law' a big gift!

Bu Zhi was clearly taken aback for a moment.

"My lord, what's wrong?"

"dowry!"

Sun Quan gritted his teeth,

"We should tell the outside world that I, Sun Quan, love my sister dearly. Last time she left in a hurry without taking her dowry. She went to Jingzhou to follow the big-eared thief and obviously did not live well."

"Therefore, I specially prepared a 'ten-mile-long red bridal procession' and sent it to Xuchang as an addition to the dowry!"

Lu Su's lips twitched slightly.

This lord's ability to change his attitude so quickly is truly remarkable.

"My lord is wise!"

Lu Su cupped his hands in greeting.

"This move will surely please Cao Cao, infuriate Liu Bei, and as for Zhao Yu... even if he knows our intentions, he can only accept it with a smile. After all, who would complain about having too much money or about the deliciousness of a chef's cooking?"

Oh, right, there's also the matter of Zhou Yu.

"Ziming".

"Go back to Chaisang now and inform Gongjin... tell him that I, Sun Quan, understand him."

"He doesn't need to worry about things in Jiangdong. Let him spend time with Xiao Qiao."

……

As for the north.

Snowing.

The snow in Xuchang came suddenly, enough to bury a person. Of course, "bury" is just an adjective.

The day before, the city was shrouded in cold, oppressive clouds.

When I opened the door today, it was already covered in white.

Zhao Yu, wearing a thick black cloak and holding a hand warmer, stood on the veranda, exhaling a puff of white breath.

"A timely snowfall promises a bumper harvest..."

Actually, Zhao Yu has a system and isn't afraid of the cold, but why does he still wear such thick clothes? The answer is simply the feeling.

"It's snowing! It's snowing!"

Sun Shangxiang was very excited.

Although there was snow in Jingkou, it was only light snow. This is the first time I've seen such heavy snow.

With a push of his foot, a cloud of white mist rose from the snow.

In the blink of an eye, a snowball had been rolled up.

He turned around and hit Cao Jie, who had just entered the room.

"Ouch!"

Cao Jie was hit squarely.

Snowflakes slid down the collar and inside.

She was so agitated that she jumped up and down, frantically shaking her collar:

"Sun Shangxiang! Do you want to die?"

"That's called striking first!"

Sun Shangxiang looked smug, tilting her chin up.

"Wouldn't it be a waste of nature's bounty if we didn't have a snowball fight on a snowy day?"

"I've never seen such heavy snow in Jiangdong."

"You think the heavens are on your side? I'll make you look bad right now!!!"

"Don't run!"

"You? You think you can catch me?"

Zhao Yu chuckled.

Behind her, Adele was clumsily building a snowman, with Liu Wan offering guidance:

"Adele, make sure the eyes are set in properly, don't put them too crooked!"

"well."

Adele has been around for so long, but her Chinese is still not very good.

As long as you can understand it, that's fine.

He used two black pebbles for eyes and found some dry branches for arms.

Finally, a round-headed snowman was completed.

"Master!! Quick... investigate, it's right, 'Zhao Yu No. 1'!"

"Zhao Yu No. 1?"

Zhao Yu walked over and examined the neckless snowman.

"Am I really that round?"

"Hmph, bad guy."

Before he could finish speaking...

Sun Shangxiang returned at some unknown time.

He spotted Zhao Yu's position and delivered a roundhouse kick.

My other foot slipped.

"bump!"

Sun Shangxiang's foot struck the snowman squarely in the waist and abdomen.

The snowman collapsed on one side.

Adele's blue eyes widened.

All the masterpieces I painstakingly created have been destroyed in an instant.

"Why...why?"

Sun Shangxiang patted her feet,

With an innocent look on his face:

"Oh, don't get me wrong, I just saw a mouse dart out from behind the snowman. I was worried it might get inside and cause a thief to break in, so I tried to kick it away—but I accidentally hurt the snowman!"

Zhao Yu rolled his eyes.

"Do you think I'm blind?"

"Your footwork was clearly aimed at me. If it weren't for your other foot slipping, the snowman would have been a scapegoat."

Adele looked aggrieved and muttered something in an unintelligible foreign language, her tone clearly cursing.

Sun Shangxiang pouted.

I'm not pretending anymore.

"cut,"

"Don't blame me, blame Zhao Yu. Who told Zhao Yu to stand there with that smug grin? He deserves to drag innocent people into this."

"Do you dare to fight me head-on?"

"I'm not afraid of you. Let alone one of you, just based on the fact that you damaged private property, even if there were a hundred of you, I wouldn't be afraid."

"You're really arrogant, just you wait."

Sun Shangxiang turned and ran.

Shortly afterward, the sound of drums could be heard.

"gather!!"

"gather!!"

Under the direction of Red Sleeves and Green Waist,

103 female soldiers have assembled.

Holding snow shovels and rattan shields, they marched in unison.

"Red Sleeve, leading the Bargaining Gang, the Vegetable-Cutting Gang... a total of seventy-three people, pay their respects, Young Master!"

With red sleeves clasped in a fist, she looked heroic and dashing.

"Green Waist, leading a security team of thirty (urban management officers), is going to... learn snow-skiing techniques from the young master!"

Green Waist gracefully bowed, her smile gentle and sweet.

"Finally, I can work as a boss."

Zhao Yu looked at the female soldiers in the courtyard and instantly felt a chill run down his spine.

Click to go:

"Sun Shangxiang, Cao Jie, Adele, Liu Wan, plus these 103 female soldiers, and me..."

"103 plus 4, then add 1..."

Zhao Yu's eyes widened, and he gasped:

"Good heavens, 108! It's like they're preparing 108 heroes to join Liangshan!"

"Son-in-law, are you ready? We've all gathered here today just to gang up on you!"

"and--!"

The female soldiers responded in unison.

Seeing this, Zhao Yu was also filled with pride.

"Well done! Today, I, Zhao Yu, will meet you 107 young generals in my mortal body."

"System, disable all auxiliary functions. Today, I will only be Zhao Yu."

……

"All troops, listen to my command! Fire!"

At Hongxiu's command

One hundred and three hands were raised at the same time.

It's all snowballs.

"I didn't say you can't hide!"

Zhao Yu let out a strange cry and ran straight to the back garden.

Dodge left and right.

"Clap clap clap clap clap".

The spot where I was standing has now become a snowdrift.

"Impressive footwork!"

Green Waist chuckled softly.

"No matter how fast you move, you can't outnumber people. Change formation!"

The female soldiers quickly changed formation.

They were divided into twenty combat teams.

Begin alternating cover fire.

"Hongxiu, lead two teams to flank from the left!"

"Huang Xing, lead several teams to encircle them from the right flank!"

"Sun Shangxiang, lead the sniper team to the high ground and seize the commanding position!"
