Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 84 Gifts
Sun Ce finally woke up after being in a coma for three days.

Bai Tu has also always ordered that the supervision of Zhou Yu and Sun Ce be kept to a minimum, not even under house arrest.

Not only could Zhou Yu enter and leave the prepared mansion at will, but even the three or five cronies who crossed the river with him could also go out to Qu'a to inquire about news!

Not to mention Zhou Yu, Bai Tu believed that with Sun Ce's character, even if he really wanted to leave, he would definitely come to him to say goodbye first and would never leave without saying goodbye.

Lu Su had already tested Zhou Yu and understood that his brother Gong Jin would never abandon Sun Ce and seek refuge with Bai Tu, so Bai Tu did not go out of his way to see Sun Ce before he woke up.

It wasn't until he learned that Sun Ce had woken up that Bai Tu went to visit him. Zhou Yu was also in the room at this time.

"Thank you Mr. Bai for saving your life. Ce Ming is very grateful." Sun Ce quickly stood up and said when he saw Bai Tu coming in.

When he attacked Lujiang and pursued all the way, he kept shouting "Baitu", but now he was rescued by Baitu, and Sun Ce looked very surprised.

"Bo Fu doesn't need to be too polite, he just doesn't want the hero chosen by Overlord Cannian to die in the hands of villains." Bai Tu said.

Bai Tu was a pure and considerate person, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with calling him "Xiang Ji" when reporting the matter in his previous memorial to the court, and now he addressed Sun Ce as "Bawang".

Xiang Yu's name is "Yu". In official documents, Xiang Yu is not allowed to be given the honorific title. He must be called by his first name "Xiang Ji". This is a rule set by the Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty.

However, in Jiangdong, there are still many Bawang temples and Bawang temples among the people. The situation at that time was that no matter how much Liu Bang disliked Xiang Yu, he had to be gentle towards the Chu land, so he did not interfere too much with the spontaneous behavior of the people in Jiangdong.

This is why, after being assassinated by the official Zhengshuo Dynasty for 400 years, Xiang Yu still ended up with a mixed reputation in later generations, unlike Xia Jie and Shang Zhou.

Those Chu Jiangchen who dared to address themselves as overlords in memorials were all expelled from the court. On the contrary, during Emperor Gaozu's time, Chu Jiangchen could be promoted one or two levels as long as he was willing to be called "Xiang Ji".

Sun Ce himself was from Jiangdong, and he inherited the Overlord's armor, so he naturally respected Xiang Yu.

Bai Tu used different names for different people when addressing Xiang Yu, which reflected his thoughtfulness and was not a double-dealer. Even if Yu Ji was here, Bai Tu dared to call him "King" openly and aboveboard.

"And my promise to Bo Fu is still valid." Bai Tu said sincerely.

Sun Ce was very moved when he heard this, and he really wanted to agree to save his face. However, at this moment, Zhou Yu intervened and said: "Thank you very much, Duke Bai, for your kindness, but now Yuan Shu has detained me and my sworn brother's tribe, as well as the old people." My old generals, it is not appropriate for me and my sworn brother to serve Duke Bai anymore at this time."

Although Zhou Yu did not want Sun Ce to seek refuge with other people, what he said was not all prevarication. Now Cheng Pu, Sun Jian's old tribe, and two clansmen have all been captured by Yuan Shu. , Zhou Yu was angry and helpless.

"Oh? Is this happening? Well... I know it. By the way, I will ask someone to take a 400-year-old ginseng from the warehouse to replenish Bo Fu's health. You two must take it in person to see Look." Bai Tu seemed to have thought of something, and said with a light in his eyes.

"That's not necessary! Mr. Bai, I only suffered backlash because I was attacked when I inherited the Overlord's armor. In fact, now..." Sun Ce quickly refused.

But Bai Tu said: "Then give Gongjin some patching up! Look at his pale face, he needs patching up at first glance!"

Zhou Yu: ...

After saying this, Bai Tu immediately turned around and made arrangements without giving the two of them a chance to refuse.

Not to mention Sun Ce, even Zhou Yu didn't understand what Bai Tu meant!
And 400-year-old ginseng?Is it so accurate? Do you want to brag like this?

Not long after, someone delivered a sandalwood treasure box, and the person who delivered it was none other than Tai Shi Ci.

"Ziyi, thank you for your help before. In the future..."

Before Sun Ce could say "future", Taishi Ci interrupted: "My lord agreed that I would take action, so I took action. You don't have to thank me. This is my lord's 'cure' for you."

"We are not sick! Mr. Bai is kind..." Sun Ce said helplessly.

"Ahem, Bo Fu and I already know what Mr. Bai meant. General Taishi thanked Mr. Bai on our behalf!" Zhou Yu looked at the treasure box and finally understood what Bai Tu wanted to give.

The 400-year-old medicine that can "cure" diseases does indeed cure diseases, but it treats heart diseases.

After Taishi Ci left, Sun Ce said with a headache: "Gong Jin, although Bai Gong is a man of faith, isn't it too hasty to show mercy? Hey, let's be good, why do we need ginseng..."

Zhou Yu said: "Hey, we really need to acknowledge this 'grace'. If what I expected is correct, it is the treasure that can cure our current heart ailments!" Then he opened the treasure box.

I saw a flash of green light emerging from the box!
"This is..." Sun Ce naturally knew what it was, after all, it was still on him a few days ago.

Sun Ce had also discovered long ago that the "Jade Seal" on his body was missing, and they were treated as "prisoners of war", which was normal.

What's more, this is not something belonging to the Sun family. Even from the perspective of Han Chen, if Bai Tu found this thing, it should be returned to the court. There is no reason for them to continue to possess the jade seal.

Therefore, neither Sun Ce nor Zhou Yu mentioned this matter.

But he didn't expect that Bai Tu would take the initiative to "return" the imperial seal?

While Sun Ce was still stunned, Zhou Yu stretched out his hand to cover the treasure box and explained at the same time: "Mr. Bai returned this artifact after hearing that my family members and General Cheng were detained in Huainan by Yuan Shu. ...It is to hint to us that we can use this item to exchange with Yuan Shu!"

Sun Ce could also understand the reason why he was trying to be mysterious - naturally it was to avoid getting involved with this matter.

Bai Tu, a great sage in the world, would naturally not do such a thing as using a jade seal passed down from the country to replace traitors and traitors!

Even so, Sun Ce was very moved. No matter how much Zhou Yu doubted Bai Tu's motives, he could only say "accept" to Bai Tu's actions in this matter.

For someone who was not one of his subordinates and was even an enemy a few days ago, he actually took out the Imperial Seal...

"Gong Jin, Duke Bai is so kind and kind, so he is not as kind as us..." Sun Ce was already shaken.

"Wait a minute! This matter is not urgent. We...at worst, if we don't take Jiangdong, we can still go to Jingzhou. We will have a chance to repay Duke Bai in the future!" Zhou Yu dissuaded.

Later, Sun Ce, out of resentment towards Yuan Shu and under the guidance of Zhou Yu, wrote a letter with a subtle hint that he would use the imperial seal to exchange for letters from Jiangdong's old tribe and clan relatives, and sent his confidants to Huainan!
