Sun Quan has already become extremely ruthless.
We will never back down.
His mother was not allowed to speak on this matter.
His beloved Madam Yuan had to secretly send conveniences to his sister-in-law and third brother's wife.
Those below dared not utter a single word.
Whoever speaks out will bear the risk.
On Beigu Mountain, life just waited quietly like that.
Waiting for Zhou Yu to go and bring Sun Shangxiang back.
Far away in the picturesque Jiaozhou.
Sun Shangxiang has indeed been caught up with by Zhou Yu.
Sun Shangxiang had just seen Zhou Yu and his pursuers.
After all, Zhou Yu was the same age as her elder brother Sun Ce, and also the brother-in-law of her sister-in-law Qiao Jingjing.
Zhou Yu had a very close relationship with the Sun siblings.
That's how I've lived since I was a child.
This time, Zhou Yu personally came to pursue Sun Shangxiang.
Sun Shangxiang wasn't angry yet; her attitude was quite mild.
"Why did you even come? Now that you're here, I'm not afraid to tell you, go back to where you came from! I won't go with Lü Fan and Jiang Qin, and I won't go with you either. Even if my second brother were here, I wouldn't go with him! You've wasted your time and energy. You might as well go back! Liu Bei is a hot potato in our Jiangdong. We can't do without you in Jingzhou and Nanjun! Why did you, the governor of Eastern Wu, have to get involved for such a small matter?"
Sun Shangxiang said these words to Zhou Yu, hoping to persuade him to return.
Zhou Yu also wanted to avoid war.
Zhou Yu was very polite.
The moment he saw Sun Shangxiang, he could tell from the pomp and circumstance surrounding her that when Lady Da Qiao escorted the young princess out of Beigu Mountain, she must have already planned everything that would follow.
Lady Da Qiao provided the young princess with all the maids and attendants, ensuring her safety and well-being, and also brought her a great deal of gold and silver.
Lady Da Qiao's efforts were truly painstaking.
However, this matter cannot be resolved in that way.
Zhou Yu only asked Sun Shangxiang to speak further:
“Princess, may I ask Zhou Yu for a word? I have nothing else to say but this: if you remain resolute after knowing this, I will no longer try to persuade you!”
Zhou Yu chased her for so long, all just to say one sentence, and Sun Shangxiang was willing to listen.
Before Sun Shangxiang, the towering Guilin Mountain was already clearly visible.
Clouds and mist rose in mid-air.
It's like a fairyland.
But beneath their feet lay a flat plain.
The land is fertile.
The air is fresh.
A magnificent bird soars high.
Sun Shangxiang led the horse.
Zhou Yu stood behind him.
That setting sun slowly sank in the west.
"Does the princess know why we are forming a marriage alliance with Liu Bei?" Zhou Yu asked Sun Shangxiang first.
Sun Shangxiang thought for a moment, then pouted and said, "We can't kill them, and we can't fight a war, so we can only form an alliance! If an alliance isn't close enough, then we can only have a marriage alliance!"
Sun Shangxiang is truly a natural-born schemer.
That's a very accurate assessment.
