Chapter 487: Ganlu Temple
Sun Quan was just hesitant at the beginning, but later he didn't even hesitate. He decisively gave up the plan to ambush Liu He and others. Because for some reason, Liu He had always kept a distance from him within three steps. Sun Quan once tried to use excuses to keep the distance, but Liu He ran out of excuses to get up. No matter how he thought of a solution, he could not get rid of the other party.
As a result, even Sun Quan felt a little ridiculous when the scene happened tonight was a bit ridiculous. Originally, his master wanted to murder Liu He with the help of a banquet, but in the end it was the other party who was calm and he was restless. He felt like he was the murdered person.
After finally staying up until the night banquet, Sun Quan sent Liu and the king and minister away with a smile on his face, but he was not happy at all. He slapped the table with a dark face.
At this time, Zhou Yu came forward and asked, "Master, have we discussed it? If you want to kill Liu He at the banquet, all the consequences will be borne by Yu, but at the critical moment, why didn't the lord give orders again?"
Naturally, Sun Quan could not say that he was afraid of death, so he could only sigh: "I thought about it and let this guy meet the old lady, otherwise, just like the old lady said, Shang Xiang's reputation would be ruined, and I will definitely break my trust in the world because of this."
Zhou Yu was stunned when he heard this. Did he know that this master has always been a decisive person who killed Liu He because of Sun Shangxiang's so-called reputation. After closing his eyes and thinking for a moment, he knew that it must be related to the general under Liu He in the tent. So he asked: "My lord is too kind and righteous after all, but the lord should not have the kindness of a woman. The lord has some concerns for Shangxiang's reputation, but what should Liu He do after he succeeds? Is it true that the lord is really willing to let Shangxiang marry far away? By then, Shangxiang will become a hostage to our army in Chang'an. Once the lord and Liu He are in harmony, Shangxiang may be the first to be killed by Liu He to sacrifice to the flag."
"Uh, I didn't expect what Gongjin said. I was really ashamed. It seemed that if I were really good for Shangxiang, I would have to kill Liu He. If Gongjin hadn't reminded me, I would have almost made an unforgivable mistake, but I had let Liu He go, how could this be good?"
"Lord, don't worry, we have opportunities." Zhou Yu thought for a while, and then said, "Actually, we can slaughter the killer in Ganlu Temple. When the big thing is settled and the old lady leaves, she will immediately send a killer to ambush him. As long as Liu He dies, what's the big deal if we are scolded?"
"Haha, Gongjin is indeed a clever plan. Since this is the case, then you can make arrangements. I have already secretly reconciled the generals in the account and let them all accept your transfer." Sun Quan patted Zhou Yu on the shoulder to show encouragement and trust.
At this time, Zhou Yu said, "Although Liu He only brought a thousand people this time, I saw that the generals under his command were very good. I wonder who they were? Can the lord report to Yu so that he can make a targeted plan when he formulated it."
In fact, after saying so much before, this sentence is Zhou Yu’s real purpose. He not only wants to make targeted plans, but also wants to understand who the general under Liu He is, and actually makes his lord dare not give the order to ambush because he is afraid of death.
Then Sun Quan smiled bitterly and introduced the generals under Liu He to Zhou Yu one by one, and then said: "Now, Gongjin is still wondering why I am so timid and dare not issue orders? In fact, I am not afraid of death, but as long as I die, our Jiangdong Army will be divided immediately. All our efforts over the years have been wasted, which is what I am afraid of."
"Before, Yu was worried about his fault, and he was a little suspicious of his lord. Yu was really ashamed, so he asked him to forgive him." Zhou Yu was extremely ashamed by Sun Quan's words and quickly apologized to Sun Quan.
Sun Quan waved his hand and said, "We are called kings and ministers, but really brothers. Will I care about this? However, Gongjin must arrange the matters of Ganlu Temple properly and must not make any mistakes."
"Please rest assured, lord, this time I will never give Liu He a chance to escape." Zhou Yu bowed to Sun Quan and said seriously.
Liu He was not clear about the dialogue between Sun Quan and Zhou Yu, and there was no need to be clear about it. He just needed to know that Zhou Yu would definitely arrange the means to deal with him. However, Liu He was absolutely sure to win the favor of Mrs. Wu. At that time, as long as he hugged the old lady's thick thighs, he would definitely be able to get safety.
Three days later, under the leadership of Zhuge Jin, Liu He led a thousand men to outside Ganlu Temple. However, these thousand men could only go outside Ganlu Temple because Mrs. Wu was going to burn incense inside. This was a Buddhist pure land. How could soldiers carrying swords allowed to enter? Isn’t this disrespect to Buddhism?
Of course, Liu He and the four generals under his command are okay. After all, the number of people is small, and they are all dressed as civil servants, wearing swords is just a decoration, which is reasonable.
Liu He and others were arranged to rest in a Zen room in advance. After the Wu Kingdom Tai finished ceremonial Buddha, Zhuge Jin brought Liu He into a clean room and met Wu Kingdom Tai.
Although Wu Guotai is called "Old Lady", he is actually not old. He is about forty years old and has a charm. He shows his heroic spirit between his eyebrows, eyes and fingers. He looks like a cheerful person.
Liu He hurriedly stepped forward to see him and said, "Little Life Liu He has seen his wife, Sun Wentai, the pillar of the country. In the rebellion of Dong Zhuo, the old general led his army to serve the king, killed Hua Xiong, the powerful general under Dong's thief, and made many military achievements. He is actually a tiger minister in the country. It is a blessing in three lives to be able to see his wife in the evening life."
Seeing that Liu He was nine feet tall and handsome, he was respectful and polite, calm and restrained, and could not see any sharpness at all, Wu Guotai immediately fell in love with this young man who was popular and thought happily: "This Liu He is indeed extraordinary and can be a good match for Shang Xiang. This person is now young and has become the largest prince in the world. It is not a blessing. With his ability and status, even Long Deng Jiuwu will not be a difficult task in the future. As long as Shang Xiang marrys him, he will be the imperial concubine in the future, so even if he is a concubine, he will never feel wronged. But I also want to test him to see if he has great ambitions?"
Then Wu Guotai chatted cordially with Liu He and inspected Liu He without any trace. He found that Liu He had a broad mind and lofty ambitions, and was definitely not a thing in the pool. His future prospects were limitless. He was even more happy. He immediately decided not to say that Liu He came to Jiangdong all the way, even if he asked himself to go to Chang'an, he would definitely marry Sun Shangxiang to Liu He.
