Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 572 Sheng Xian and Gu Yong

When Sun Ce saw that Zhou Yu agreed to everything without even a question, he felt extremely conflicted.

But he didn't speak again until Zhou Yu left.

Zhou Yu chatted with Sun Ce for a long time before he left.

After leaving Sun Ce's room, Zhou Yu closed the door and took one last look at it.

Madam Wu and Sun Quan looked over hurriedly.

Zhou Yu ignored them and left.

He walked very quickly.

It was not until he left Sun's mansion, turned a corner and stopped deep in the alley that Zhou Yu stretched out his right hand, pressed it against the wall at the entrance of the alley, and tears rolled down his face.

The next moment, his face turned red and he started to dry heave.

After retching for a long time, Zhou Yu vomited a mouthful of blood.

Zhou Yu's whole face looked somewhat ferocious.

Looking at the spitted blood, Zhou Yu's expression gradually dimmed, and he murmured: "After all, brothers as close as brothers are not as good as brothers in person."

"Then I also want to see if your good brother, Bofu, can support the world of Jiangdong without the support of my Zhou family!"

Zhou Yu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and turned to leave.

In the next few days, there was a bloody storm in Wu County and Danyang County.

Portraits of Xu Gong, the former commander of Wujun, and his clansmen were posted everywhere.

In an open space in Wucheng County, dozens of soldiers surrounded several strong men.

After a fierce fight, all the strong men except one were killed.

Blood flowed all over the floor.

The bodies of several strong men were dragged away like wild dogs.

The strong man who was not killed struggled and screamed, "Sun Ce, you bastard, what did I, Xu Gong, do?"

"I didn't do anything, why is he pestering me so much!"

Many people on the roadside watched the scene from afar, pointing and talking, but no one dared to step forward.

Among these passers-by, there were two figures standing.

On the left is an old man in brocade clothes, who looks to be in his early fifties.

This man's name was Sheng Xian, and he was the former governor of Wu County.

And Xu Gong was the commander of Wu County under his command.

However, after Dong Zhuo rebelled, Xu Gong, in order to become a local overlord, sent his followers to assassinate him and almost killed him.

Sheng Xian was able to escape only with the protection of the aristocratic families.

On the right is a refined man in his thirties.

The man was in his thirties and had a long beard.

This man was named Gu Yong, a classmate of Zhou Yu. They once worshipped Cai Yong, who had fled to Wu, as their teacher.

Gu Yong's wife was the daughter of Lu Kang, the former governor of Lujiang County.

And Gu Yong is still the head of the Gu family today.

Gu Yong and Sheng Xian stood in the crowd, watching Xu Gong being beaten black and blue, screaming as he was dragged away, neither of them said a word.

It was not until Xu Gong disappeared from sight that Gu Yong said to Sheng Xian: "Mr. Sheng, please move."

Sheng Xian followed Gu Yong out and entered a mansion.

Inside the mansion, the maids were busy serving tea and cakes.

Gu Yong and Sheng Xian went into the hall and sat down.

The two sat opposite each other.

Gu Yong looked at Sheng Xian and said, "Mr. Sheng, why do you think Sun Ce suddenly arrested the people of Danyang Xu family in such a high-profile manner?"

Sheng Xian took a sip of hot tea, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Kill the chicken to scare the monkey!"

"Recently, Sun Ce was seriously injured and fell into a coma. All the families have become restless."

"I guess Sun Ce should be awake now."

"He wants to calm down this chaotic situation. With his violent temper, he will not think of anything else except killing to stop the killing."

Gu Yong frowned and said, "Then should our major families unite and start an uprising while he is still not fully recovered, and drive the Sun family out of Jiangdong?"

Sheng Xian and Gu Yong looked at each other, shook their heads and asked, "How do we get rid of them?"

"We have many big families in Jiangdong, but we are not as powerful as those in Xuzhou and Jingzhou."

"After all, there are too few of us here."

"And the soldiers under Sun Ce are all very brave." "If we really could resist, we would have succeeded when Sun Ce attacked Wujun in the early years, and we wouldn't have been slaughtered by him and the blood would have flown like a river."

Gu Yong said with a sullen face: "What can we do?"

“Watching opportunities slip away?”

"This Sun Ce is an executioner."

"He killed my father-in-law and countless young men from the great families of Jiangdong."

"Now that he is weak, we won't take the opportunity to kill him."

"Once he recovers, we will be unable to escape."

Sheng Xian let out a long sigh.

That's the tricky thing.

Sun Ce is so brave.

Too brutal.

Even when the aristocratic families of Jiangdong united together, they were no match for him. Instead, they were all killed by him, which scared everyone.

Now, no one dares to take revenge!
Even though Sun Ce is weak now.

After taking a few deep breaths, Sheng Xian suddenly asked, "Have you heard any small news about Hebei recently?"

Gu Yong looked at Sheng Xian suspiciously and asked, "Are you talking about the news that Yuan Shao's family, who had been officials for four generations, were executed?"

Sheng Xian hummed.

Gu Yong was puzzled and asked, "What does this have to do with us in Jiangdong?"

Sheng Xian looked at Gu Yong and said, "I heard that after Yuan Shao's family was killed, it was his son-in-law Zhang Sui who took over, the current governor of Xuzhou."

Gu Yong was silent.

Sheng Xian continued, "One of Zhang Sui's concubines is called Cai Yan. Have you forgotten that she is your husband's eldest daughter?"

"If you can confirm that this news is true, then send someone to Xia Pi to contact him."

"He was able to defeat Lu Bu, and this time he dealt a heavy blow to Sun Ce at Xiakou. As long as he is willing to send troops, with internal and external support, there is a great possibility that he can capture Sun Ce."

Gu Yong stood up, pinched his beard, and paced continuously.

After a while, he looked at Sheng Xian and said, "Let's try it!"

"We should try our best to save the situation."

"But the problem is, this rumor is false, what should we do then?"

Sheng Xian sighed and said, "What else can we do?"

"Then I'll just have to admit defeat."

"I'll admit defeat for now."

"Our aristocratic family can continue forever."

"Our people are endless."

"But do you believe that the Sun family can last for thousands of years?"

"The Qin Dynasty fell in the second generation."

"The Han Dynasty has also come to an end today."
