Sun Ce was surprised to learn that Lu Kang wanted to refer Zhou Yu as a filial and rush to Chang'an to serve the emperor. History changed? In his memory, Zhou Yu never mentioned filial and honest - for his family background, this was actually very strange - soon, he should have followed his uncle Zhou Shang to Danyang.

"What do you think?" Sun Ce turned over and held the reins.

Zhou Yu shook his head. "I can go, you can't. Ling Zun defeated Dong Zhuojun many times. If Dong Zhuo knew that you had gone to Chang'an, he would definitely not let you leave alive."

Sun Ce also felt so, but he felt uneasy when he asked Zhou Yu to go to Chang'an alone. Whether it was Sun Ce or the time traveler, it was impossible for him to watch Zhou Yu take risks alone. "Let's talk about it when you arrive in Nanyang." Then let his father Sun Jian stop Zhou Yu and not allow him to go, what can others say?

Zhou Yu looked at Sun Ce from the corner of his eyes, and the more he looked, the more incredible he felt. In his impression, Sun Ce was not a calm person, otherwise he would not have come to fight for this breath. Since he refuted Lu Kang in front of everyone and earned his face, he should be proud. However, Sun Ce could not see any joy of winning on his face, but instead he was a little worried. Although he knew that Sun Ce was concerned about his safety, he still felt that Sun Ce was very different from the past and had a little calmness.

The two returned to the Zhou Mansion and broke up at the door. Zhou Yu entered the inner house and went straight to the west courtyard where his brother Zhou Guan lived.

Zhou Guan was listening to people reporting the harvest in the house. The autumn harvest was about to end, and all incomes of the farm were counted. Their father Zhou Yi was an official in Luoyang, and Zhou Guan was in charge of the family affairs. He was plagued by ordinary things. He was more like a philistine. Only the occasional light flashed in his eyes could vaguely see the shadow of the children of aristocratic families.

"Have you been to the prefect's mansion?" Zhou Guan glanced at Zhou Yu, with a smile on his lips, and then his eyes returned to the account book in front of him.

"I've been there." Zhou Yu sat down aside. He always respected this seemingly mediocre brother.

"What other things need to be prepared when you go to Nanyang? It's good to say that armor may take some time. You and Sun Bofu are both taller than ordinary people. Ordinary armors may not fit and need to be customized."

Zhou Yu didn't say anything, thought for a while before slowly saying: "Brother, Prefect Lu is willing to call me a filial piety and honest person and send me to Chang'an to serve the emperor."

Zhou Guan was a little surprised. He put down the account book and looked up at Zhou Yu. "Why did he suddenly have such thoughts? What about you, what do you think?"

"Brother, my father is in Luoyang, and Uncle Cong should have gone to Chang'an. My brother went to Luoyang the next year before and has not returned yet. There is no news at all. I feel uneasy and want to see what happened."

Zhou Guan pondered for a long time. "It's okay to go to Nanyang. If General Sun can send someone to protect him, Luoyang can barely go, but Chang'an is absolutely not allowed. Dong Zhuo is a Qiang family in Xiliang. He is bloodthirsty and has become a hero. The Yuan family is in front of him. My Zhou family cannot follow his footsteps. It's always good to be able to keep a little more fire. So, go to Nanyang first, discuss with General Sun, and then make a decision."

Zhou Yu nodded and agreed, but did not leave. Zhou Guan looked at him in confusion. "Is there anything else?"

"Brother, today I accompanied Bo Fu to the prefect's mansion."

"So what?" Zhou Guan raised his brows slightly, and then realized something. "Lu Jining (Lu Kang) is not a good person. He doesn't want to be soft and hard. After you went to the prefect's house, he suddenly wanted to refer to you as a filial and honest person. Could it be that you showed your strength in front of him?"

"It's not me, it's Bofu."

"He?" Zhou Guan was surprised and turned to look at Zhou Yu. "Let's listen."

Zhou Yu started talking about the general trend of the world with him in the morning, and continued until Sun Ce came out of the prefect's house and returned with great victory but without any expression. Finally, he showed some confusion. "Brother, I suddenly felt that I couldn't understand him anymore, as if he had become a different person overnight."

Zhou Guan had a slight head, but he did not express his opinion for a long time. After a while, he stood up and walked behind Zhou Yu, and gently pressed Zhou Yu's shoulder.

"Gongjin, when it comes to looking at people, you have more vision than me." He paused and said, "If you don't have Sun Bofu walking with you, you will not be able to leave Nanyang. As for filial piety and integrity, my Zhou family doesn't care about it. If you get it, you will not be happy, and if you lose it, you will not be resentful."

"Why?" Zhou Yu was a little dissatisfied. Judging from Zhou Guan's opinion, he actually asked him to follow Sun's horse.

"You are familiar with military tactics, do you still want me to remind you?" Zhou Guan chuckled: "In the world of Nanyang, Jingzhou has a million household registration. The Sun family father and son want to compete for Nanyang and seize Jingzhou. If you don't help them, why do you go to Chang'an to do it? Chang'an has a uncle who is here, and you will follow the fate of the gods. Don't worry about it. Just seize your own fortune. Gongjin, this is your choice. Now that the opportunity is here, you have to give up?"

Zhou Yu took a deep breath, then slowly vomited it out, nodded silently, and his eyes became firm.

Sun Ce went to the Nanpai and met his mother, Mrs. Wu. He said lightly that he had been to the prefect's house and stopped him after seeing Lu Kang. Mrs. Wu looked at Sun Ce and saw that his face was calm, not as if he had been angry. He just thought that it was because of the large number of Lord Lu Kang. Sun Ce's wish was fulfilled and he was relieved, so he didn't say much.

Sun Ce accompanied Mrs. Wu for a while and several younger brothers and sisters surrounded him. Looking at the group of children under the age of ten and who didn't know what sorrow was, Sun Ce's mood also became relaxed and he had a lot of chatting with them.

Among the four younger brothers, the second brother Sun Quan is the most conspicuous, not only because of his appearance but also a little deeper. Thinking of Emperor Sun Quan's methods in the future, Sun Ce could only say that the old saying "I think I am older at the age of three and I think I am older at the age of seven" makes sense. Sun Quan is the most concise among his brothers. But for now, Sun Quan is just quieter and not as sarcastic as he is.

The third brother Sun Yi is more like Sun Ce, naughty and active, and he speaks a little incompetently. He inherited his mother's appearance like Sun Ce, and you can imagine that he will be a beautiful boy in the future. The fourth brother Sun Kuang and the fifth brother Sun Lang are still young, one is five years old and the other is four years old. There is no sign of too much. The youngest sister Sun Shangxiang is similar to Sun Yi, and she is a beauty, but her eyes are too lively, like a boy. Unlike her brother Sun Lang, she doesn't feel distant at all, and she is often tired of being around Mrs. Wu.

Mrs. Wu has a biological daughter, fifteen years old, she just got married last year, and her husband is Qu Ahongzi. The Sun family is from Fuchun, known as the descendant of Sun Wu. She is actually a poor family. She has no power in the local area and has a very weak concept in the countryside. Sun Jian was fighting outside, and his family also moved everywhere and did not stay in the local area. Later, Sun Jian died in battle and did not return to Fuchun, but was buried in Qua.

The rise of the Sun family can basically be said to be from scratch, Sun Jian laid the foundation, Sun Ce pioneered Jiangdong, and Sun Quan carried forward it, and it was very difficult to go all the way. However, there was no easy task for the overlords of the Three Kingdoms, especially compared with Liu Bei, the Sun family was still smooth.

Looking at the chattering younger brothers and sisters, Sun Ce felt warm in his heart. The panic brought by time travel became fainter without realizing it. A faint smile appeared on his face and his eyes became much calmer.
