In front of the window on the second floor, Liu Jing actually saw Lu Su, which surprised him. How could Lu Su be here? He immediately ordered the guards to go to the tavern to invite Lu Su.

Soon, Lu Su brought a few entourages to the bank of Caohe River. Lu Su bowed and smiled and said, "What a coincidence. I just arrived in Wuchang, but I didn't inform the government in advance. Please forgive me."

Liu Jing laughed, "This is not right. We cannot fulfill the friendship of the landlords. For the sake of old friendship, we will not be punished for drinking. We might as well get on the boat and have a chat."

"I disturbed the state's governor"

Lu Su did not postpone it and boarded the ship happily. Although the war between the two families had just ended, it did not affect the personal friendship between Lu Su and Liu Jing. The two sat down in the cabin. Liu Jing smiled and said, "I think this time Wu Hou's expedition, Jing should be the opposition."

Lu Su smiled bitterly and said with regret: "Not only do I object, but Gongjin also firmly opposes it. However, Wu Hou insisted on his own actions and eventually made a big mistake. I don't know what to say."

Liu Jing's smile disappeared and he said lightly: "It's nothing. If I hadn't been to the Western Expedition, maybe I would have taken the initiative to attack Jiangdong and each of them for their own country. For the sake of interests, of course I wouldn't blame the Marquis of Wu, but this matter may be difficult to recover."

Lu Su felt very bitter in his heart. Now he had something to ask for, so he had to bow his head and said after a while: "Can the provincial governor ask the provincial governor to negotiate and resolve the aftermath issue for the sake of our two families fighting against Cao Cao, and the Marquis of Wu promised not to invade Jingzhou again."

Liu Jing smiled coldly, "But your Wu Hou's credibility is really speechless."

Lu Su was silent. He didn't know what to say. This atmosphere made him feel embarrassed. Liu Jing was not a mean person, and he didn't want to deliberately make things difficult for Lu Su, so there was no need.

Liu Jing smiled again and said, "But because of my friendship with Jing, I can return Princess Shangxiang to you first, without any conditions."

Lu Su was overjoyed. Liu Jing was willing to let go of this, which means that the negotiation could continue. He no longer mentioned the negotiations and had to do it step by step.

Liu Jing brought Lu Su to the Guibin Post. Wang Yicheng greeted him and bowed and said, "See the governor of the state."

"How is Princess Shangxiang now?"

Wang Yicheng showed a look of timidity on his face and explained: "The princess insisted on going to the prisoner-of-war camp. After that, the day after that, Mrs. Zhoumu came to visit her, so she agreed to her request. The princess is now in the prisoner-of-war camp."

Wang Yicheng said while secretly looking at Liu Jing's face. Seeing that he was a little unhappy, he quickly added: "I heard that it was placed alone, and the wife also sent a female guard to protect her, as if the wife and the princess had known each other before."

Liu Jing generally did not allow his wife to interfere in government affairs. His wife moved Sun Shangxiang to the prisoner-of-war camp without authorization, which certainly made him unhappy. However, when he heard that his wife and Sun Shangxiang knew each other, his face cleared a little and turned to Lu Su and said, "I'm sorry, let's go to the prisoner-of-war camp again."

Lu Su was worried in his heart how could the princess have a daughter-in-law to live in a place like the prisoner-of-war camp. However, when he heard that there were female guards to protect him, he felt a little relieved and said quickly: "It's better to go to the prisoner-of-war camp to visit the prince-of-war camp first."

The two of them turned over their horses and ran to the prisoner-of-war camp outside the northern city at the escort of the cavalry.

The prisoner-of-war camp is actually a military camp covering an area of ​​thousands of acres. It currently imprisons tens of thousands of prisoners of war in Jiangdong, and is guarded by general Li Jun, led by 5,000 soldiers, and is under high alert.

However, in order to prevent the prisoners of war from causing trouble, all officers above the generals were detained, including Shi Ci, Lu Meng, and Xu Sheng, who were also under house arrest in the city.

As soon as Liu Jing ran to the prisoner-of-war camp, Li Jun came out after hearing the news. Liu Jing immediately asked him: "Princess Jiangdong is detained here."

Li Jun knew that Liu Jing would ask about this sooner or later, so he nodded, "She is in the military camp, please follow me."

Liu Jing took Lu Su into the prisoner-of-war camp and walked to the northwest corner. There was an area surrounded by camp gates, covering an area of ​​about acres and several white tents were set up. Outside the camp gates were specially guarded by soldiers, and outsiders were not allowed to enter. There were eight female guards protecting Sun Shangxiang, which was of course also a kind of custody.

Liu Jing took Lu Su into the camp, and several female guards hurriedly stepped forward to salute. Liu Jing glanced at the tent and asked, "How is she? Are she still on a hunger strike?"

The guard girl shook her head, "Report to the provincial governor, she is better now, but her physique is very weak. The military doctor came to see her yesterday and said that she would have to lie in peace for at least half a month before she could recover."

Liu Jing walked to the big tent and looked inside the tent through the gap. Seeing that Sun Shangxiang seemed to be lying on the couch and was not asleep, Liu Jing asked with a smile: "Can I come in?"

After a while, a hateful voice came from the tent: "I am your prisoner of war, do whatever you want, is it necessary to ask me?"

Liu Jing raised the curtain and walked in, but Lu Su hesitated for a moment and did not follow in. The two of them would be husband and wife in the future, so they could not get involved.

As long as the princess was safe, he would be relieved. He hurriedly withdrew outside the camp and waited. Several personal guards also retreated. There were female guards around the tent, so they were not worried.

Liu Jing walked into the tent and saw that Sun Shangxiang had turned her back and covered her quilt tightly, covering her head, leaving only a strand of black hair outside the quilt.

Liu Jing sat down beside her couch and said gently: "I'm here to tell you that when you are in better health, I'll let you go back to Jiangdong."

"Hmph, I will never believe what you said." Sun Shangxiang snorted coldly.

"Why don't you believe it?" Liu Jing said with a smile: "Will my dignified Jingzhou Guard coax you a little girl?"

"Do you keep your word? You know in your heart"

Sun Shangxiang actually implied that Liu Jing had promised her to shoot the arrow, but in the end Liu Jing broke the appointment, but Liu Jing had long forgotten about this matter, and he really didn't understand.

"Okay, tomorrow morning, I will arrange a boat to take you back to Jiangdong. Believe it or not."

Sun Shangxiang lifted the quilt, sat up suddenly, glared at Liu Jing, "You don't want to be false, I will never go back."

Liu Jing was not angry, he smiled, "Why don't you go back? Is it comfortable to live here?"

"It has nothing to do with you."

"Why has nothing to do with me? I don't like some prisoners of war, so I will expel him. The same is true for you. I expel you from Jingzhou. I will do whatever you want and leave tomorrow morning."

After saying that, Liu Jing got up and left. Sun Shangxiang bit her lips tightly. Just as Liu Jing was about to leave the tent, she whispered loudly: "I am also a member of Jiangdong. If you want to leave, I will go with the soldiers. I will never leave them and go back to Jiangdong alone. If you want to force me back, I will jump into the river and commit suicide."

Liu Jing stopped and looked back at her. After a while, he nodded, "Since that's the case, I'll let you go back with the Jiangdong soldiers. You will go out together tomorrow morning."

"Wait a minute"

Sun Shangxiang called Liu Jing and looked at him in surprise, "What did you say just now?"

Liu Jing said calmly: "I just said that for you, I have released all the soldiers in Jiangdong, and all the soldiers captured in Lujiang County were released back to Jiangdong."

"Have you reached any conditions with my brother?" Sun Shangxiang couldn't believe it and asked with a look of suspicion.

"Miss Shangxiang, you can't help but underestimate my Liu Jing's mind. I let them go at the beginning of more than 100,000 Cao's prisoners of war. Have you ever mentioned the conditions for this war? It's not the fault of the soldiers. Including you, we shouldn't be enemies."

After saying that, Liu Jing smiled faintly, opened the tent and walked out. Sun Shangxiang watched his back disappear, and her teeth bit her lips white. She felt like she had knocked her five-flavor bottle overturned. She was in a complicated mood and didn't know what it felt.

Liu Jing walked out of the tent and saw Lu Su standing far away outside the fence. He walked up and smiled, "Why did Jing run out?"

Lu Su laughed awkwardly, "Since the provincial governor intends to let her go, I think it's better not to see her for the time being."

"Not only her, I will let all the soldiers in Jiangdong go back to their hometown."

Lu Su was stunned. He was very moved. Before negotiations were made, Liu Jing let him go. Who can compare with this kind of mind? Who said he has no sincerity in negotiating? Lu Su suddenly bowed and bowed deeply, "The governor of the state is willing to let me go back to his hometown. Lu Su was grateful. On behalf of the Marquis of Wu and the elders of Jiangdong, I would like to thank the governor of the state for his kindness."

Liu Jing patted his shoulder lightly and smiled slightly, "Jing said one word, I only said I would let the soldiers go back, but I didn't say let the generals go. Jing must not think about me well."

After saying that, Liu Jing left, Lu Su shook his head for a while. He was already very satisfied to be able to put the soldiers back. Li Jun and others next to him couldn't help laughing. They also felt that something was wrong. How could the provincial governor put all the prisoners back? How could there be such a good thing in the world.

At night, Liu Jing pillowed his hands under his head, lay on the couch and looked at the dark roof thoughtfully. Tao Zhan stretched out his smooth arms from the quilt, gently stroked his face, and asked in a low voice: "Why aren't you sleeping yet?"

"I'm tired and can't sleep"

"Who told you to... that, can't you rest for two days?" Tao Zhan complained.

Liu Jing smiled and did not answer her words. After a while, Tao Zhan asked, "Do you really decide to marry her?"

"who"

"What do you think?"

Liu Jing was silent and said for a while: "I don't know either."

Tao Zhan sighed and said, "I am not jealous. I am trying to say that no matter why I want to marry her, since she has married you, you must treat her well and let her get a real husband and not become a sacrifice in exchange of interests."

Liu Jing was very surprised. He didn't expect his wife to say this. After a while, Tao Zhan whispered again: "I just hope you don't forget the old one after you have new ones."

Liu Jing was moved. He turned around and hugged his wife tightly into his arms, whispered in her ear: "You are my wife, and no one can replace you."

Tao Zhan put his face on her husband's chest and sighed deeply in his heart. Who can understand the helplessness and pain in her heart?

There were crowds of people on the pier outside Wuchang City, and more than 50,000 prisoners of war in Jiangdong lined up to board the ship. Everyone was extremely excited and finally could go home to reunite with their relatives. Many people were so excited that they cried bitterly. They thought they would serve hard labor in Jingzhou for the rest of their lives, but they did not expect that they would be released in just a month.

As large ships docked, Jiangdong soldiers began to line up on board. On another Qianshi Tower boat, Sun Shangxiang stood at the bow of the boat, silently staring at the crowds of people on the dock, looking at the soldiers' extremely excited faces. This was gratitude for rebirth, a kind of desire to go home, and their cheers were clearly a kind of accusation of war.

The soldiers no longer wore armor, but were wearing ordinary people's clothes. The shadow of war could no longer be seen on them. They changed from soldiers to ordinary farmers, fishermen, and merchants. These were living lives and no longer had to face death. Sun Shangxiang sighed softly, and at this moment she suddenly became disgusted with war.

She looked down at the helmet in her hand. It was a silver helmet given to her by her brother before she went to war. She used to love it extremely much. At this time, Sun Shangxiang felt it heavy and the helmet was full of killing.

She used to be so fanatic about war, but at this moment, she seemed to be reborn in the war. Before her, the tens of thousands of soldiers who were burned, killed, and drowned in the river appeared. Their screams, cries, and begged for mercy. The scenes of the living scenes deeply hurt Sun Shangxiang.

The soldiers can die, but how should their parents and wives and children mourn, and who can they rely on for their long life?

War satisfies the power of several people, but turns countless soldiers into bones, causing their families to fall into endless pain.

Sun Shangxiang sighed deeply, raised her hand, threw her helmet into the Yangtze River, and turned back to the cabin.
