Xu Kun tied his mount and watched a group of knights in brightly uniforms galloping towards him, his eyebrows raised and his lips raised.

In this spring when the mountains are full of flowers, I look at a group of girls with Dou Kou Nianhua's shirts and horses. They are beautiful and heroic, lively and calm, and they are indeed pleasing to the eye. Not only Xu Fu was in a good mood, but even the knights behind him were smiling. You poked me with your elbows, and I squeezed you with my shoulders, and my eyebrows were full of spring. But they also knew that these female knights were the Yulin Guards of Sun Ce's sister Sun Shangxiang. They should not be too presumptuous, just laughed, but no one dared to speak slander.

The Yulin Guards also saw Xu Fu and his party and tied their mounts. Sun Shangxiang and Xu Jie kicked the horse to Xu Fu and shouted crisply: "Brother."

Xu Kun had already received a letter from home and knew that Xu Jie had followed the army and became Sun Shangxiang's military advisor. He was not surprised to see Xu Jie at this moment. It was just the first time he saw Xu Jie wearing a military uniform that fitted very well. He felt a straightness and couldn't help but take a look at him twice.

"Thank you hard in the army, are you still used to it?"

Xu Jie stuck out his tongue. "I was a little uncomfortable at first, but now it's much better. But this is just traveling with the general, not even a real marching, let alone combat. I'm trying hard to adapt, hoping to get used to life in the army."

Xu Kun is very satisfied. "Work hard, our Xu family can't drag the Sun family down, otherwise your aunt will be unhappy."

"I understand, Xie Akun teaches." Xu Jie smiled, raised his hand, said goodbye to Xu Kun, and ran away with the Yulin Guards.

Xu Kun said proudly to the guard Dai, who was beside him: "See, my Xu family is going to have a female hero."

Man Dai looked at the back of Yu Linwei who was leaving, and smacked his lips and said, "That's right, why didn't I find a woman so capable before, not only reading and writing, making workmanship tools, but also riding a horse and a arrow? General Sun is really not an idle person. But in this way, our men are under great pressure and have no real ability. In the future, the official position is not as high as a woman, and the title is not as high as a woman, and even fighting, so I can't even beat him."

Everyone laughed and hugged Xu Kun toward the camp. When they approached the camp, a team of knights rushed along the official road outside the camp. There were not many people, only more than ten riders, but all the white horses looked particularly conspicuous. In the first place, a young man held the reins and the bow in the other hand. There were many wild animals on the back of the knights, which looked like they had just returned from hunting.

Xu Kun's heart moved, he held his mount and sang: "Is Major General Gongsun ahead?"

Gongsun Xu looked at Xu Kun after hearing the sound, slowed down and stopped. "It's..."

"In Fuchun and Xu Kun in Xiawu County, he is now guarding Pengcheng."

After hearing this, Gongsun Xu did not dare to delay, so he quickly bowed and saw Xu Kun looking at the prey on the horse's back, and couldn't help feeling embarrassed. "This... I'm idle, afraid that I'll lose my martial arts, so I go out to hunt and loosen my muscles."

Xu Kun smiled. "The Major General has gained a lot and is good at his skills. He is worthy of being the son of General Baima. However, just after winter, the birds and beasts are thin and the ground is weak, the meat is neither delicious nor fast, so I am afraid that the Major General's skills will be buried."

Gongsun Xu blushed, bowed his hand quickly, found a reason, and left hurriedly. Xu Kun watched him bypassing the camp, frowned, and looked a little disdainful. He came to the camp of the Central Army, and in front of the tent, Xu Kun signed up to enter. Sun Ce was discussing affairs in the tent, Guo Jia was also present, and there was a guest, who was about thirty years old, with a slightly dark face, dusty, but he was a little excited, and was patting his knees and dancing.

When Sun Ce saw Xu Kun enter the tent, he waved his hand repeatedly. "Ziyu, sit quickly, sit quickly." He also introduced: "This is the envoy of Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, the prefect of Yuyang, and Jian Yong and Jian Xianhe."

Xu Kun quickly bowed and said, "Looking for a long time."

Jian Yong laughed and looked at Sun Ce and Guo Jia. "General Sun, Guo Jijiu, how do you usually ridicule me? Can you say a few words to me and make me prepare, don't really think that you have any great names left in the Central Plains."

Xu Kun couldn't help laughing. He had never seen Jian Yong, but he had heard of Jian Yong. It was indeed not a good reputation. Liu Bei and others were like this. People who were busy with Qin and Chu looked down upon the most. Xu Kun had been guarding Pengcheng for many years and heard a lot of such words. But he didn't expect that Jian Yong was so generous and spoke so relaxed to Sun Ce, and he was almost unrestrained. He glanced at Sun Ce, and Sun Ce's mouth was slightly raised, smiling without saying a word, just blinking.

Xu Kun understood and smiled, "Mr. Jian, they are embarrassed to say that I can say a few words. If there is any offense, please don't mind."

"You said, you said."

"I heard that Mr. Jian has the style of an ancient righteous man. He knew that Liu Xuande was not the master of Ying, but he was determined. Outside Xiaohuang City, Liu Xuande was trapped in Yuan Tan's army. If it were not for Mr. Jian, he would not have been the prefect of Yuyang today. Mr. Jian has such great achievements, and he must have been Liu Xuande's confidant now. Since this is the case, he traveled thousands of miles and crossed the sea. Could it be that Liu Yuyang was trapped by Yuan Tan again and asked General Sun to rescue him?"

Jian Yong looked at Xu Kun, raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly. "Is General Sun's relative? Should I wait for General Sun to tell you. General Xu, don't judge heroes by success or failure. Liu Yuyang is from a poor family, and his career is not easy. It is inevitable to suffer some setbacks. There is nothing ridiculous about it. With the heroic martial arts of General Cheval, wouldn't Xihua also be defeated?" After saying that, he bowed and said goodbye to Sun Ce. "General Sun, I'll wait for your news."

Sun Ce slightly said, asking Zhuge Liang to take Jian Yong out for a rest. When they made the bill, Guo Jia smiled and said, "It seems that Liu Bei has taken a lot of advantages recently. He is satisfied with his arrogance. This arrogance has crossed the sea. General, I don't think there is any reputation for negotiations. It's better to leave him for a while and let Liu Bei suffer some trouble before talking about it."

Sun Ce laughed twice without comment, turned to Xu Kun, and asked about the situation in Xuzhou. Xu Kun knew that Sun Ce would be an ordinary meeting this time, and there must be important tasks. He had already made preparations and immediately took out the documents and talked happily.

Jian Yong left the big tent and followed Zhuge Liang to the arranged guest account. After Zhuge Liang handed over and was about to say goodbye, Jian Yong stopped him.

"Are you Zhuge Kongming, a native of Langya?"

"That's right." Zhuge Liang looked at Jian Yong quietly, with no expression on his face.

"Please wait." Jian Yong ordered people to take the luggage, take out a wooden box from it, and handed it to Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang took a look, but did not pick it up, frowned slightly. "What is this meant by sir?"

Jian Yong smiled. "This is a letter from your brother Zhuge Ziyu to bring me. You don't have to be too careful."

Zhuge Liang took it and looked at the sealing mud on it. It was indeed the private seal of his brother Zhuge Jin. He was about to open the wooden box. Jian Yong reached out and held it. "Before I leave, Ziyu took special care of you to take it privately, so it is best not to let others know. I think I am also someone else, so you should not let me see it. It is better to take it back and look it when it is convenient."

Zhuge Liang's eyes flashed slightly, he put away the wooden box, thanked Jian Yong again, and then turned around and left. Jian Yong sent it to the tent door, watched Zhuge Liang leave with agile steps, narrowed his eyes, and looked a little strange. Deputy envoy Liu Xiu followed and said softly: "Sir, can it be done?"

Jian Yong looked back at Liu Xiu, but said nothing. He returned to the tent, sat down on the case for a while, and shook his head. "Deran, you go out for a walk later, find a way to find out where Gongsun Xu's big tent is, and meet him as much as possible. Yuan Tan's intention to annex Youzhou was so clear that it was impossible to make peace, but Gongsun Xu could become an ally. He has been with General Sun for so long, and he should have heard some news. It will be beneficial to our next negotiations."

Liu Xiu nodded and turned around and went out. Jian Yong leaned on the table and carefully recalled the meeting with Sun Ce. He did not dare to let go of every detail, hoping to find some clues that would help speculate on Sun Ce's thoughts at this moment. The war in Youzhou was about to break out, and Sun Ce's decision had a great impact. Liu Bei had just become a yellow bird and he didn't want to give Sun Ce such a chance.

Zhuge Liang stood not far away, hiding behind a tent, watching Liu Xiu walk over, smile and greet him, bowing and bowing. Liu Xiu had just seen him, and was a little surprised, so he quickly returned the greeting.

"Where are you going?"

Liu Xiu was a little uneasy and looked around. "Come on, go around casually."

"Oh, that's true. Spring is in full bloom, and the scenery of Geyi Mountain is beautiful. It's a good season to visit. Youzhou is still very cold now, right?"

"Yes, Youzhou will not be warmer until the end of April and early May, and it is still very cold now."

"Yes, every time I think of my brother traveling in Youzhou, I am very worried about his body. He can't stand the wind and cold, and he coughs if he gets a little cold. When he advised him not to travel to Youzhou, he just didn't listen. Have you ever seen my brother? Is he still coughing now?"

Liu Xiu was a little embarrassed, his eyes rolled, and he forced a smile: "Oh, it's much better, much better."

"Is that so? That's great. Did he meet some famous doctor?"

"I didn't hear him say this, I just know that although he is still coughing now, it's not serious."

"That's right, thank you." Zhuge Liang bowed and thanked him, turned around and said goodbye. Liu Xiu had just breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhuge Liang turned back. "There is something I may want to remind you to go out for a walk, but try not to meet Bai Ma Yicheng, and don't let Major General Gongsun know that you are here."

Liu Xiu's heart tightened. "Why?"

Zhuge Liang sighed softly. "The hatred of killing his father is irreconcilable. Although General Gongsun's death has nothing to do with Liu Yuyang, Liu Yuyang and General Gongsun call each other brothers and have a friendship with each other. When General Gongsun died in battle, Liu Yuyang did not say anything about it, but also took the opportunity to take Anci City. Now he has taken General Gongsun's subordinates as his own. How could Major General Gongsun not be suspicious? He was young and impulsive. If he was in a disagreement and was injured, wouldn't it be a pity that even General Sun would feel sorry."

Liu Xiu was already a little guilty, and when Zhuge Liang said this, he felt even more assured. His expression changed a few times, and he nodded with a forced smile. Zhuge Liang bowed his hand and walked quickly. He returned to the Central Army camp, walked into the scout camp next to the Central Army's Investigation, found a familiar piece of work, and handed him the wooden box.

"Please help me see if there is any possibility that the things in this wooden box will be transferred."
