Chapter 1168

A man about thirty years old stood on the roof, gazing at the distant sky, a complex expression appearing on his face.

This man had a tall figure, bronze-colored skin, and handsome features, with a look of fatigue on his face.

This person was none other than Sun Ce; he had stood on the roof for a long time, a complex look appearing in his eyes.

"Are you worried about him?" Suddenly, a cold voice rang out beside Sun Ce.

Hearing the voice, Sun Ce's pupils contracted suddenly, a look of shock flashing on his face; he turned his head quickly, only to see a woman standing not far behind him.

Her appearance was peerlessly beautiful, her stunning face making it impossible to look away. Her body exuded an icy temperament, as if she had come from the Nine Netherworld, making one afraid to profane her.

This woman was none other than Da Qiao!

Sun Ce looked at Da Qiao, his complexion turning iron-blue instantly; he took a deep breath, calmed his mood, and said: "I am not worried about him, I am just a bit tired."

Da Qiao did not speak, just standing there quietly, a cold look appearing on her face, seemingly not believing Sun Ce's words.

"I am really not worried about him, don't let your imagination run wild, I am going to sleep now." Sun Ce smiled bitterly and said.

Saying this, Sun Ce turned to leave.

"Stop!" However, the moment Sun Ce turned, Da Qiao spoke. Her tone was incomparably cold, like ten-thousand-year black ice, making one feel fear involuntarily.

"What? Is there anything else?" Sun Ce stopped, turned around, and looked at Da Qiao, the expression on his face somewhat awkward.

He truly did not understand why Da Qiao had to keep holding onto his pigtail; this made him feel somewhat annoyed. He knew he truly did not want to argue with her, so he chose to compromise, not wanting his emotions to affect him.

However, this woman seemed to be targeting him on purpose; not only did she pester him relentlessly, but she also always used his pigtail to talk about things, making him feel very unhappy.

Sun Ce's heart felt somewhat stifled, but he did not want to provoke this woman, so he had to choose to endure.

A cold expression appeared on Da Qiao's face; her eyes stared fixedly at Sun Ce, and she said: "Why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you tell me Liu Tian was captured by Gu Yi? Do you know how worried I was about him after he was captured? He is in Gu Yi's hands now; do you know what dangers he might encounter?"

A flash of reluctance crossed Sun Ce's eyes, but he gritted his teeth and said: "He is Liu Tian, he will solve it, I believe in him!"

"Why do you believe in him?" Da Qiao asked coldly.

"Because we are brothers, I believe in him!" Sun Ce stared fearlessly into Da Qiao's eyes and said.

"Hmph!" Da Qiao snorted and turned away, saying, "Since you believe in him, then I believe in him too!"

"You..." Sun Ce felt somewhat depressed; he really wanted to refute Da Qiao, but he didn't know what to say.

"Hmph!" A cold expression appeared on Da Qiao's face, "You had better pray that Liu Tian is fine, otherwise, I will take your life!"

Sun Ce looked at Da Qiao's cold and arrogant appearance, his fists clenching even tighter.

Gu Yi, who was destined to die, did not expect Eastern Wu to be thinking about them as well, and had even sent people to surround them.

He did not expect Eastern Wu to have received the news so quickly, even finding out their address.

"My lord, what should we do now?" The deputy general looked at Gu Yi, who was sitting on the bed, and asked.

"We will retreat first; for now, we should not intervene in this matter." Gu Yi pondered for a moment, then spoke slowly.

"My lord, if we just retreat like this, I am afraid they will take the opportunity to attack us!" The deputy general frowned and said.

"Let them attack; it's not like we haven't been sneak-attacked by them before." Gu Yi said indifferently.

"But, my lord, if they sneak-attack us, we have no defensive measures at all!" The deputy general frowned and said.

"Hehe." Gu Yi laughed, a touch of mockery on his face, "Do you think we are so easily attacked? If they want to sneak-attack, unless they are certain they can defeat us, they will certainly return empty-handed. Moreover, if they want to attack us, they also need to spend great effort; their losses will certainly be very heavy. By then, even if we don't go to them for revenge, they will deliver themselves to our door."

Hearing this, the deputy general stopped speaking. Indeed, Gu Yi's words made sense. Although they were in the dark, they possessed extreme confidence that they could beat Eastern Wu until they were scurrying like rats.

After all, this was their territory, and they had an absolute advantage.

"My lord, this subordinate has a suggestion: let's just play along and let them fall into our trap; I would like to see how much ability they have!" The deputy general thought for a moment and said.

"Hmm, this suggestion is good!" Gu Yi nodded slightly, an excited look appearing on his face.

"Then, let's proceed according to the plan!" The deputy general said with a smile.

"Fine!" Gu Yi nodded, "Now, immediately send a message to Li Yan and Han Zhong, telling them to send people to ambush outside Jin Ling City; if they see us, kill them directly!"

"Yes!" The deputy general nodded, then turned and walked out of the big tent.

Gu Yi did not know that the people from Eastern Wu had been waiting outside for a long time. He lay on the bed, a look of fatigue on his face.

Ever since he was captured outside Jin Ling City, he had been detained, with people delivering meals every day, and all kinds of tonics at that.
