Chapter 361

Including Sun Sun Jian's two young sons, and Sun Ce's son, Sun Shao.

This was also a tradition of the Sun family; the newly married Sun Sun Shangxiang coming to fulfill a vow meant future marital harmony and many children and blessings.

Liu Bei naturally accompanied them.

This time, he only brought Zhang Fei and Chen Dao, as well as five hundred guards.

Sun Quan looked at a stone by the temple steps and thought to himself,

"Whether I can successfully kill the thief Liu and achieve hegemony this time—with one sword strike, I will be able to split the stone in two."

Sun Quan slashed down fiercely with his sword.

With a 'tseng' sound, the stone split into two!

Sun Quan was overjoyed; a good omen!

Liu Bei?? Fortune-telling by cutting stone?

"This Sun Quan is also very superstitious. If I hadn't let Lady Xu tell a fortune this morning, saying today would be very auspicious and without any alarm or danger, I really wouldn't have wanted to come."

Liu Bei walked over and patted Sun Quan on the shoulder.

"What are you doing, Sun Zhongmou?"

Sun Quan hurriedly sheathed his sword.

"Lord Liu Xuande, I was thinking that you, Lord Liu Xuande, shake the nine provinces; if you can break the thief Cao, you can unify the Great Han, and my Sun family can also share in the glory."

Liu Bei burst into laughter.

"The thief Cao is nothing; I can destroy him with a flick of my finger."

He drew his sword fiercely and split the stone into four pieces!

Sun Quan was startled; no matter how mediocre Liu Bei was, his martial arts were still there. This time, he had to stay further away from him!

Zhu Ran brought men over and cupped his hands.

"My Lord, I have already led men to patrol, and there are no problems."

Liu Bei nodded.

"Good, then let's enter the temple."

Liu Bei turned around, and Sun Quan and Zhu Ran exchanged glances. It was done!

Liu Bei smiled inwardly. Did these two think he was the village-war hegemon Oda Nobunaga of the Dwarf Kingdom? Coming for a Honno-ji Incident? They were crazy!

Inside Ganlu Temple,

Lady Wu prayed sincerely, but Sun Quan made an excuse to leave. To avoid making Liu Bei suspicious, he did not take any of the Sun family members with him.

The newly married Sun Sun Shangxiang was still immersed in happiness, completely unaware.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Suddenly, outside the temple,

Countless arrows flew in!

The guards were caught off guard and fell screaming!

Zhang Fei led men rushing in, shouting,

"Big Brother, Sun Quan and that scoundrel Zhu Ran have rebelled!"

The Sun family members were all shocked. Was this Sun Quan trying to push everyone to their deaths?!

While Liu Bei ordered the guards to raise their shields and drag the injured soldiers back into the temple, he roared,

"Sun Quan, what exactly are you trying to do!"

Sun Quan was surrounded by a group of soldiers with shields as he came over, with Zhu Zhi, Zhu Ran, and Zhou Tai by his side.

His eyes were fierce.

"Traitor Liu Bei! How can I let you lay a finger on my Sun family's Jiangdong!"

Liu Bei shook his head with a very disappointed expression.

"Sun Quan, are you still not satisfied that I nominated you as the Grand Minister of Agriculture?"

"Zhu Ran, I valued you so much, how could you dare to do this?!"

Zhu Ran said coldly,

"Liu Bei, I am my Lord's person in life and his ghost in death. How could your petty favors buy me?"

Lady Wu was heartbroken.

"Sun Quan, what exactly are you trying to do? Do you want to bring the Sun family to ruin!"

Sun Sun Shangxiang also shouted sharply,

"Brother, what foolish thing are you doing!"

Sun Quan's two younger brothers, Sun Kuang and Sun Lang, also tried to persuade Sun Quan, but Sun Quan now felt he had victory in his grasp; how could he give up?

"Liu Bei, if you are a hero, let our Sun family members out!"

He had thought Liu Bei would not agree.

Unexpectedly, Liu Bei said loudly,

"Fine, Lady Wu and your younger brothers are innocent. Let them leave, and Sun Shangxiang too."

Zhang Fei was anxious.

"Big Brother, don't!"

Lady Wu bowed deeply to Liu Bei.

"Lord Liu Xuande is so righteous. I do not wish to be associated with an unfilial son; let him kill me."

Sun Quan was furious.

"Mother, I just want to take back the foundation of our father and brother! This Jiangdong was won by our father and brother!"

Lady Wu snorted.

"I'm afraid you just want to be the Lord yourself. Jiangdong is not the private property of our Sun family. Things have reached this point; you are harming our Sun family!"

Liu Bei shook his head; Sun Quan didn't even see things as clearly as Lady Wu.

Sun Sun Shangxiang stood in front of Liu Bei.

"Whoever wants to kill my husband today must kill me first!"

Liu Bei pulled Sun Sun Shangxiang behind him.

"Sun Quan, you only have these few thousand troops, but I have tens of thousands of troops in the city!"

Sun Quan burst into laughter.

"Liu Bei, you don't think Zhou Yu, Huang Gai, and the others are really in prison, do you?"

Shouts of battle seemed to be coming from Wu Jun city in the distance.

The soldiers and generals loyal to Sun Quan had all been mobilized today!

Liu Bei added,

"So, you presented me with beauties before, and then sent Pan Shu, just to confuse me."

Sun Quan smiled triumphantly.

"Liu Bei, I didn't expect you to sink into the land of gentleness either. Rest assured, I will treat Bu Bu Lianshi, Lady Cai, and Pan Shu well."

Liu Bei's eyes were cold. This Sun Quan was courting death himself; he really couldn't blame him.

Zhu Ran cupped his hands and said,

"My Lord, Liu Bei is stalling for time. Time waits for no one; delay will lead to changes. Kill Liu Bei, and the great cause can be achieved!"

Sun Quan cursed inwardly; it turned out he had been stalled for time by Liu Bei again without realizing it.

"Soldiers, a reward of ten thousand gold for killing Liu Bei, five ranks of promotion, and enfeoffment as a Village Marquis!"

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The soldiers began to shoot arrows in this direction!

Liu Bei's side raised their shields while retreating into the temple.

Sun Quan was extremely triumphant.

"The entire Ganlu Temple has been surrounded by me; where can you escape to!"

Just then,

A few fast horses ran from the direction of Wu Jun, the scouts on them covered in blood.

"My Lord, it's bad! Generals Zhou Yu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang were ambushed by Lu Xun, Wei Yan, and Wen Pin. Han Dang was killed on the spot, and Generals Zhou Yu and Huang Gai are leading troops in a rout toward this side!"

Sun Quan's face changed drastically. How could this be!
