Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 253
At the end of the 16th year of Jian'an, Sun Shangxiang gave birth to her daughter in Jiangling Bieyuan.

Because they didn't help to rob A Dou before, Jiangdong's side has since cut off contact, and even the Wu Zuo and Wu You brothers who returned to Wujun to visit relatives did not come back.

Sun Shangxiang belonged to a political marriage, and she was originally hostile by the Jingzhou gentry, and her other courtyard Liu Bei didn't like to go, let alone any famous Jingzhou scholars to visit.

Before Liu Bei left, Zhao Yun, his confidant, was in charge of internal affairs, and Sun Shangxiang had no chance to contact Liu Bei's officials. This noble woman from Jiangdong was as lonely as an outsider in Jiangling, and she gradually stopped leaving the other courtyard for half a step.

If not for giving birth to a daughter for Liu Bei, Mrs. Sun would have been almost forgotten by the people of Jiangling.

Guan Yu, governor of Jingzhou, has been training the navy in Jiangxia for a long time. Zhuge Liang decides all matters in Jiangling City. To avoid suspicion, he did not congratulate Sun Shangxiang himself, but asked Zhao Yun to send some gifts.

With Zhuge Junshi taking the lead, officials close to Jiangling and Liu Bei followed suit, and most of them simply pretended not to know.

In the first month of the 17th year of Jian'an, Sun Shangxiang was basking in the sun in the garden with her daughter in her arms, and the guard outside the gate ran into the garden to report.

"Miss, General Zhao is begging for an audience outside the door, as if he brought someone to send He Yi off."

In the years when Liu Bei left, Sun Shangxiang had tasted the warmth and coldness of human relations. Except for Zhuge Liang's gift, Zhao Yun came to the door in person, and other officials' gifts were sent by his subordinates. I don't know who has such a big face this time.

Sun Shangxiang turned around and asked curiously, "Who is traveling with General Zilong?"

The boy shook his head and said, "That man is not too tall, and he can't tell whether he is a civil servant or a military commander. I haven't seen him before."

Sun Shangxiang frowned, looked at the sleeping daughter in her arms, then stood up and said, "Please invite them to drink in the front hall, and I'll come back to the room to add some clothes."

"Wei." The servant bowed and left.

The boy returned to the front yard and opened the front door wide. The maid led Zhao Yun and Lan Tian into the front hall. The gifts on the carriage were unloaded by servants. Judging from the number on the congratulatory ceremony, this gift giver was the most generous.

Lan Tian and Zhao Yun sat down on the left and right, and the maid immediately brought drinks to the guests.

The two had already exchanged pleasantries on the way, so they didn't say much more in Sun Shangxiang's residence. The layout of Lantian saw the hall was fresh and elegant, and it really looked like a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

After a while, a white figure came into view, and Sun Shangxiang and Lan Tian were startled at the same time.

Sun Shangxiang was surprised to see Lan Tian coming to the other courtyard, but Lan Tian saw the familiar white fox fur on her body, which was originally reserved for Lu Lingqi.

Sun Shangxiang was young and beautiful. After giving birth, she lost her vigor and became more gentle. In addition, she was dressed in white fox fur, which complemented each other perfectly. It's a pity that this political victim can only stay in this courtyard now.

Lan Tian and Zhao Yun got up at the same time, bowed and called Mrs. Sun.

"General Lan is really a rare visitor, why don't you come to my other courtyard?" Sun Shangxiang nodded slightly, she vaguely remembered the last time they met, it was at the banquet of all sheep.

"I heard that Mrs. Sun gave birth to a daughter, so I came from Lingling to congratulate you." Lan Tian replied calmly.

"Since Xuande entered Sichuan, the other courtyard has not visited a big person for a long time. General Zilong is the most clear about the internal affairs. General Lan's sister-in-law has a relationship with me. I really didn't expect you to come in person." Sun Shangxiang sighed softly.

Zhao Yun didn't speak up after hearing this. If the people you brought were not domineering, they wouldn't be left in the cold now.

Lan Tian smiled slightly and said, "My lord is not in Jingzhou now, so it is not suitable for me to visit, but my sister said that Mrs. Sun married to Jiangling, and she might miss her hometown after giving birth. She specially asked me to buy some Jiangdong local products from the caravan."

"Sister Gan" Sun Shangxiang was a little choked up, she took the initiative to cut off contact with Sun Quan after Zhou Shan's incident, and her brother seemed to have forgotten that there was such a young girl.

Lan Tian then got up and said: "Mrs. Sun looks good, and now the local products have been delivered, so I won't bother you anymore, and I'm leaving."

After all, Sun Shangxiang is Liu Bei's wife, neither Lantian nor Zhao Yun is suitable to stay in another hospital for a long time, so they both want to leave after the visit.

Sun Shangxiang stood up and called to stop, "General Lan, please wait a moment."

"What is Mrs. Sun's order?" Lan Tian turned around and clasped his fists and asked.

"Can General Zilong wait outside the hall? I have a few words I want to speak to General Lan alone."

After Sun Shangxiang finished speaking, Zhao Yun looked at Lantian suspiciously. It was inappropriate for him, a Sima staying in the camp, to stay where he was, or to walk out of the hall alone.

Lan Tian stopped him and said, "Zilong should stay and listen together. If Madam has any orders, we can discuss them together."

"Ziyu is right." Zhao Yun stayed where he was. Although he and Sun Shangxiang are in a master-servant relationship, he must stand in Lantian at this time.

Sun Shangxiang saw their worries, and said to herself that you still don't know Liu Xuande that well, how could he try to make a difference because of a woman?
"Ahem, it's good to have Zilong as a witness, all the officials and generals under Xuande, you two are the first I know," Sun Shangxiang said slowly.

Lan Tian and Zhao Yun looked at each other, wondering what Mrs. Sun wanted to do.

"I heard that Ziyu is smarter than Kongming, and Zhou Shan's robbery of Adou really has nothing to do with me. I would like to swear a poisonous oath on it." Sun Shangxiang said solemnly.

Zhou Shan went to Quanling to kidnap Adou. The news was originally sealed in Lingling, but later Lantian went to Jiangxia to meet Guan Yu and Lu Su.

Adou is very important to the stability of Jingzhou, so Guan Yu was furious when he heard the news, and he ordered Zhao Yun to investigate the whole story.

There are records of Zhou Shan, Wu Zuo, and Wu You going in and out of Jiangling. Even Zhou Shan was found changing boats at the pier of the police. All three of them had constant relations with Jiangling other courtyards. In the end, they were unable to do so because of the incident involving the mistress. After all, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other Yuan Cong were even colder towards Sun Shangxiang.

Lan Tian was startled when he heard that, he nodded and said lightly: "I believe Mrs. Sun is taking care of the overall situation, but Zhou Shan has a tiger-shooting order on him. I heard that only people close to Sun Cheqi have it. Could it be Sun Cheqi?"

Sun Shangxiang quickly waved his hands when he heard this: "It's absolutely impossible, Zhongmou is also Adou's uncle, how could he do such a lowly thing? It should be Zhou Shan's own initiative and evil intentions."

Lan Tian stroked his beard and smiled, "Mrs. Sun is right. It seems that Lu Zijing is lying."

"What's wrong with Lu Zijing?" Sun Shangxiang felt that his brain was not enough, so what stupid thing did Lu Su do?

"A few months ago in Jiangxia, General Guan and Zijing and I had a drink along the river. At that time, I handed over the Tiger Shooting Order to him for inspection, but Zijing said that the token was fake, and people with fake tokens are not fake, right? ? Zhou Shan seems to have left Jiangling with Wu Zuo and Wu You after giving gifts to Madam Sun?" Lan Tian looked to Zhao Yun for confirmation.

Zhao Yun nodded, "I was at the south gate of Jiangling that day."

Sun Shangxiang really wanted to kill Lu Su with a stick, and thought that you were also Sun Zhongmou's brain truster, so why did you talk nonsense without thinking?How can I make up what you said earlier?
"Cough Zijing may have been dazzled at the time. Zhou Shan's token was indeed real, but it must have been bribed by Cao Cao's secret operations in an attempt to destroy the Sun-Liu alliance. I suspect that Zhou Yu's death was also related to him.

Ziyu is a resourceful person under Xuande's tent, you should distinguish right from wrong and don't fall into the enemy's tricks," Sun Shangxiang hastily reminded.

Lan Tian didn't make things difficult for this woman anymore, "Mrs. Sun has the style of being a father, and her analysis makes some sense. Let's forget about this matter first."
