Liu Jing turned around and saw Lu Su coming over. Liu Jing smiled and said, "Jing hasn't gone back yet to report to Wu Hou, aren't you afraid that he will be angry?"

Lu Su shook his head, "My duty is to let His Highness the King of Han get ashore safely and leave safely. As for reporting His Highness the King of Han to the Marquis of Wu, that's not what you do."

It seems that he is open-minded, but Liu Jing knows that Lu Su is full of disappointment with Sun Quan. He is no longer as diligent and hardworking as before. It is no wonder that Lu Su's loyalty is not only unpaid, but is suspicious and demoted. How could Lu Su be calm in his heart?

Liu Jing smiled again and said, "I can understand Jing's mood. Can you please go to Jianye City for me and tell Wu Hou that I have to deal with some official duties and will get ashore later."

Lu Su nodded. He actually knew that if he didn't report to Wu Hou, he would have neglected his duties, so he clasped his fists to Liu Jing and bowed, "Since the King of Han has given orders, I will take a step first."

Liu Jing ordered Chen Mi to arrange a boat to take Lu Su back. Looking at the boat that Lu Su was riding away, Liu Jing smiled to himself and said, "Will Sun Quan really be the landlord's friendship?"

In Jianye Palace, Sun Quan listened to Lu Su's report with a gloomy face. Liu Jing had official duties to deal with and would go ashore later. At least when it would be late. Lu Su didn't know. Sun Quan felt a little annoyed and walked in the lobby with his hands behind his back. This was obviously Liu Jing was dissatisfied with his grand welcome to Cao Cao, so he did not give him a face.

It's like an ordinary family treating a guest. The host prepares everything, but the guest says he doesn't know when he will come. Most people can't bear this rudeness, let alone between the two countries. This is actually a manifestation of guest dissatisfaction.

At this time, Zhang Zhao said, "Maybe Liu Jing hopes that Wu Hou will go to the north bank to greet him in person, so he pretends to behave and refuses to go ashore for a long time."

Sun Quan snorted heavily and said, "He is giving me a warning. If I go to the north bank to greet him, I will obviously show weakness to him. He will interfere in the internal affairs of Jiangdong more strongly and disrupt this negotiation. Since he is here to visit his mother-in-law, as he wishes, let him visit the patient, and don't talk to him about the rest of the affairs."

The chief Zhang Hong felt that this was inappropriate. After all, Liu Jing held many handles in Jiangdong. Yuzhang and Poyang County, nearly 10,000 prisoners of war were now cold to Liu Jing. Next time he asked him to speak, he also stepped forward and implicitly advised: "Since Wu Hou publicly invited Liu Jing to come, if he ignored him, it was not a way to treat him, but we were rude. Moreover, Liu Jing could also say that he was unwilling to disembark on the south bank for safety reasons. It also makes perfect sense. He could find many reasons, but we could not ignore the guests, let alone we still ask him for it now."

Zhang Hong's last words made Sun Quan sigh helplessly. He also thought of tens of prisoners of war. If he really offended Liu Jing, he would send tens of prisoners of war to Wujun in anger. The consequences were not something he could afford, and now was not the time to act voluntarily.

Although he knew that Liu Jing was giving him a warning, he had no choice but to order: "Prepare the boat, I'm going to the North Shore."

As soon as he finished speaking, a guard ran to the hall to report: "You report to the Marquis of Wu, the King of Han has already arrived ashore and is heading to the Changgan Palace."

Sun Quan and everyone looked at each other. Liu Jing actually got ashore, which was completely beyond their expectations. Sun Quan's heart suddenly became confused. He could not understand Liu Jing's chess at all. He wanted to set up a stand and let himself go to the north bank to greet him, but also lost the dignity of the King of Han to go ashore. What does he mean?

Sun Quan looked at Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong in confusion, but Zhang Hong understood what Liu Jing meant and smiled: "On the surface, the King of Han was telling Wu Hou that he was just here to visit the old lady's condition and had nothing to do with government affairs, but it was precisely his behavior that was not etiquette, different from common sense, and did not follow the way of being a guest. Therefore, Wu Hou had to understand it in reverse. He came to Jiangdong this time, but he was just visiting the old lady's condition by the way. After visiting the old lady's condition, he would not leave. That was the beginning of his trip to Jiangdong."

Sun Quan looked at Zhang Zhao again, Zhang Zhao nodded, agreeing with Zhang Hong's analysis. Sun Quan pondered for a moment: "Since he is unwilling to accept my mobilization of troops and wants to enter Jiangdong in a low-key manner, then I will fulfill his wishes, but I still have to fulfill my friendship as a landlord."

In Changgan Palace, famous Han army guards surrounded Liu Jing and waited in the square outside the palace. At this time, the guards of Changgan Palace quickly ran forward, clasped their fists and bowed: "Mrs. Wu asked His Highness the King of Han to enter the palace. You can carry a sword and ten guards."

Mr. Wu was considering Liu Jing's safety, but Liu Jing ordered the guards behind him: "You are waiting here, I will enter the palace alone."

Li Qing, the personal commander of the soldier, was about to object, but Liu Jing glared at him. Li Qing did not dare to say anything again. Liu Jing smiled at the guard chief and said, "Please."

"Your Highness, please follow me."

The chief guard took Liu Jing into Changgan Palace and came to Mrs. Wu's bedroom. The guard stopped and walked: "You can't get in with a low position in front of you, and a maid will lead His Highness into the interior."

As soon as he finished speaking, Da Qiao walked out of the bedroom and bowed to Liu Jing, "Your Highness, please follow me."

"I'm sorry Mrs. Lau."

Liu Jing followed Da Qiao toward the bedroom hall. The bedroom hall was quite large and divided into two parts: the inner hall and the outer hall. In the middle was a pool of water, connected by a long bridge. The pavilions and towers on both sides were exquisitely built, and they were planted with strange flowers and plants. Although it was already the middle of winter, the eyes were full of green and there was no feeling of cold winter.

Liu Jing and Da Qiao met several times, but basically didn't say anything. Da Qiao led Liu Jing into the inner hall, and no other maids followed. The two walked slowly one after another. At this time, Da Qiao slowed down and smiled softly, "Your Highness, Shang Xiang is good now."

"She is very good. She has given birth to a mother this year, and she is safe."

"Then I'll congratulate you on your highness."

"Thank you, Madam, for your good words."

After a moment of pause, Da Qiao asked casually again: "I wonder how long your Highness will stay in Jianye this time."

"The plan is to leave Jianye tomorrow night or the morning after tomorrow."

Da Qiao smiled and said, "Last time Shangxiang wrote a letter to invite us to Bashu. To be honest, we really want to relax, but we are afraid of causing trouble for Your Highness, so we can't make it happen."

Liu Jing laughed, "There is no trouble. I have been fighting outside for many years and rarely stay at home. Shangxiang is looking forward to you all day long, and my eyes are so clear. Why not do this? I am officially invited my wife and sister to visit Chengdu and stay there for a year and a half. If you like Bashan and Shu River, I would like to stay there for a long time."

Da Qiao smiled slightly, "thank you for your kind invitation."

As he said that, the two walked into Mrs. Wu's bedroom, and a maid came up and said, "My son-in-law is invited to come in."

When Liu Jing walked into the inner hall, Mrs. Wu had already gotten up and sat leaning on the soft couch. Two maids were holding her aside. She looked pale, thin and in poor spirits. Compared to the last time she saw her, she was completely different. Liu Jing felt a little uncomfortable. He could see that Mrs. Wu had been around for a while.

Liu Jing hurriedly stepped forward and kowtowed and bowed, saying, "Son-in-law meets with his mother-in-law, I wish his mother-in-law good health and a long life."

In order to like her son-in-law, Mrs. Wu often told her maids and several wives around her that none of her children and grandchildren could compare to her son-in-law. Her son-in-law wanted to achieve the emperor's hegemony, which was one of the two wisest decisions she made in her lifetime.

Although Mrs. Wu's body was weak, she still smiled and said, "Please get up and sit down."

A maid put a soft pad on Liu Jing. Liu Jing sat down opposite Mrs. Wu. Mrs. Wu struggled to sit upright and asked with concern: "When did the son-in-law arrive? Why didn't Shangxiang come with him?"

Liu Jing hurriedly bowed and said, "My son-in-law just arrived in Jianye. This time, because Cao Cao stationed troops in Ruxukou, I came to rescue Jiangdong. Shangxiang is in Chengdu and the child is still young, so she can't live without him. When the child is a little older, she will bring the child to see her mother."

"Oh," Mrs. Wu sighed and said, "Wu Hou disappointed people, and actually split Jiangdong. I feel so heartbroken. I hope my son-in-law will help him and reunify him as soon as possible. Otherwise, how can I explain to his father?"

"Wu Hou is capable enough, but he is kind, so he didn't expect the Sun Ben Rebellion."

Speaking of this, Da Qiao next to her snorted coldly. Although his voice was very low, Liu Jing still heard it. He quickly glanced at Da Qiao and saw that there was disdain in her eyes, he knew that it must be the kindness of Wu Hou that he said made her disgusted. Of course, Sun Quan was not kind, but he still tried to say some comforting words when speaking to the old man.

He said sincerely: "Please rest assured that Jiangdong is my second hometown. I will try my best to protect the people of Jiangdong from the war."

Liu Jing said it vaguely. He did not promise to protect the Jiangdong regime, but to protect the people of Jiangdong. As for whom will unify Jiangdong, this is a later story. Mrs. Wu was weak and it was difficult to distinguish the profound meaning of Liu Jing's words. She just listened to it with pleasure and said happily: "If you have this heart, I will thank you. I will bring the child next time and let me see my grandson."

Liu Jing took out a painting. This was a portrait of his children. He kept it with him. This time he came to visit Mrs. Wu, so he brought the portrait of Liu Long. He presented the portrait to the old lady and smiled and said, "This is a portrait of the child born by Shang Xiang. Please check it out."

Mrs. Wu was excited and quickly ordered the maid to open the portrait. The portrait was a chubby little guy. She couldn't help but smile and looked at her for a while and said, "The eyebrows are a bit like her mother, but they are always like her father, very similar."

Mrs. Wu said to Liu Jing again: "I accepted this portrait. I have something. You can take it back to your child. It is the gift I gave to my grandson."

She ordered the maid to take out a gold box and opened it in front of Liu Jing. The box was actually a gentle and white jade pendant. Da Qiao next to him exclaimed softly, obviously very surprised by the jade pendant. Liu Jing also knew that the jade pendant was precious, but with his identity, nothing could shock him, so he happily accepted the jade pendant.

At this time, Mrs. Wu was also a little tired. She nodded and smiled and said, "I am very happy that you can come to visit me, but I am not healthy and can't say more. I'll say hello to Shangxiang on my behalf."
