Sun Shangxiang saw that Sun Quan's expression was solemn, and he didn't seem to be joking with him.

She was surprised: "Brother, are you serious?"

Sun Quan nodded: "Brother, I am here to ask for your opinion. Since my mother is not here, I will choose a good match for you. Over the years, many children from Jiangdong have proposed marriage, but there are almost no heroes who are worthy of my little sister."

Sun Jian had a broad and open-minded temperament and fought bravely in many battles throughout his life. His wife Wu was extremely courageous, independent-minded and decisive. The four boys and one girl they gave birth to were all extraordinary.

Sun Shangxiang inherited the advantages of his parents, but because of his reputation, most people did not dare to propose marriage, mainly because they were afraid of not being able to surrender. Sun Quan said this because he was a tough man.

"But I heard that Liu Bei is over fifty years old..." Sun Shangxiang was a little confused.

"Liu Xuande is a hero of the world. I heard that he is very handsome and has great swordsmanship, but he is not as old as Zhang Zibu..." Sun Quan explained.

"Liu Xuande knows swordsmanship?" Sun Shangxiang became interested.

"It is said that he can fight Lu Bu..." Sun Quan replied.

Sun Shangxiang is not an ordinary woman. If she is strong, she will become stronger. If she can decide the marriage, she will never marry an ordinary person. Now that Sun Jian and his mother Wu are dead, her red thread is in Sun Quan's hands.

Hearing Sun Quan's praise of Liu Bei, although she knew it was for political considerations, she was still very interested. She said softly: "A brother is like a father. Brother, your arrangement is..."

"Tomorrow I will ask Zhuge Ziyu to go to Jiangxia to discuss matters. I will also ask my uncle to see if Liu Xuande is suitable. If so, I will marry you to Jiangxia."

"Uncle Jing doesn't want to be an official, will he go to Jiangxia?"

Sun Quan shook his head and said with a smile: "If you want to find a son-in-law for your niece, my uncle will be willing to go..."

"Oh..." Sun Shangxiang responded.

The next day Zhuge Jin and Sun Jing set out by boat. Sun Quan came to visit Sun Shangxiang again. Unexpectedly, the maid said that she had stolen a boat to Jiangxia.

Sun Quan knew that this little girl was pretending to be a man again, which was really daring. He said to himself: It would be better to get married early, but staying in Jiangdong would be a disaster anyway.

Zhuge Jin and Sun Jing came to Jiangxia to discuss how to hand over Xinye.

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were very confused, because they had already discussed this matter with Lu Su twice. Why was Sun Quan so anxious? And this Sun Jing was not a person who took care of things.

Zhuge Liang raised his hands and asked: "Lu Zijing just left, brother, what are you..."

"My lord is afraid that Zijing has not made it clear. Jiangdong has only given Liu Shijun a county for nothing. I wonder what else you want? We should try our best to raise it..." Zhuge Jin laughed.

"Lord, look..." Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Bei.

Liu Bei stroked his beard and said: "Sun Zhongmou is so polite. Xiao Xinye just thinks of it as thanks to Jiangdong for breaking Cao. How can Bei dare to comply with his request? This is really a waste of time for Youtai and Ziyu."

"Isn't it in vain? Kong Ming and I haven't seen each other for many years, so we just want to take this opportunity to reminisce about old times." Zhuge Jin said.

"Then you must stay for a few more days. I will ask someone to hold a banquet to welcome you. I will hear about the delicious food in Jiangdong and try our Jingzhou specialties later." Liu Bei gestured to Sun Jing.

"Then I'll harass you." Sun Jing was not polite either.

Zhuge Liang discovered that Sun Jing was not here to discuss matters at all. The young guard behind him kept staring at Liu Bei. Could this young man be an assassin?

Chen Dao, who was not far away, was also watching with vigilance, keeping within a safe range with Liu Bei.

Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang chatted for a while, and Sun Jing, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "I heard that the envoy is proficient in Gu Ying's sword technique. Although Jing has been away from the battlefield for a long time, he saw Xuande's skills today. Can he compete with me?"

"This..." Liu Bei said in his heart. We are not reckless people. How can we compete in martial arts when we just meet? Besides, we are not familiar with each other at all.

Chen Dao hurried over to relieve the siege. He clasped his fists and said, "The general wants to learn from each other, and Chen Dao is willing to accompany him."

"Did I call you?" Sun Shangxiang said contemptuously.

Chen Dao was scolded by Sun Shangxiang and didn't know how to reply. Liu Bei was speechless. Just now he was saying that Sun Quan was polite. Why were Sun Jing and the guard so ungrateful?

"This is..." Liu Bei looked at Sun Shangxiang, who was dressed in men's clothing, doubtfully.

Sun Shangxiang realized that he had made a mistake and immediately retreated behind Sun Jing without saying a word.

Sun Jing immediately clasped her fists to save herself: "This is a junior in my family. He has never seen much of the world. Don't blame Xuande..."

"No...no..." Liu Bei waved his hand quickly.

Through Zhuge Liang's careful observation, he found that the little guard was petite and seemed to have small holes in his earlobes. He immediately understood that it was a woman's dress. He vaguely guessed the purpose of Sun Jing's visit, and he had also heard of the Sun family's younger sister.

After a brief moment of embarrassment, Sun Qianlai announced that the banquet had been arranged.

Everyone moved to a side hall to have a banquet, and Sun Qian asked people to prepare food such as shabu-shabu, beggar's chicken, bamboo tube rice, etc. These were all dishes developed by Lantian when he was in Guiyang, and then included in the banquet menu.

Seeing Zhuge Jin and Sun Jing enjoying the meal, Sun Shangxiang felt uncomfortable standing aside as a bodyguard.

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "General Sun's nephew should be seated at the table. Gongyou will give him an additional case."

"Kong Ming is right, Jingzhou cuisine is quite unique, and you are in good taste, little general." Liu Bei boasted.

"I've eaten Jingzhou cuisine before, but it's really nothing like this, but it really tastes great and it's worth the trip." Zhuge Jin praised.

"If you like Ziyu, come here often, please..." Liu Bei raised his wine glass.

Sun Jing picked up the mutton and cooked it in the pot. She found that the taste was extremely delicious. "This way of eating is very novel. I wonder who invented it?"

"It's blue..."

"It was brought by merchants traveling from north to south. The general can give it a try when he returns to Jiangdong." Zhuge Liang hurriedly interrupted Liu Bei and took over.

Sun Jing nodded and continued to drink and eat meat. Because the dishes tasted unique, they were not polite at all as guests and truly made the guest and host enjoy themselves.

When he walked out of the side hall, Zhuge Liang saw that Liu Bei was still awake, so he whispered in his ear: "My lord, I can use wine to show off my martial arts later..."

"Why is this?" Liu Bei was puzzled.

"Nothing bad will happen." Zhuge Liang smiled mysteriously.

Zhuge Liang said there must be good things if there are no bad things.

When Liu Bei and others were walking in the courtyard, he deliberately stumbled over a stone the size of a wooden basin.

"What's blocking my way? Get my sword..." Liu Bei pretended to be angry.

At Zhuge Liang's signal, Chen Dao handed the sword to Liu Bei. Liu Bei walked beside the stone with the sword in his hand and said plausibly: "I have a sword..."

There was a bang.

Before Liu Bei finished speaking, the stone suddenly fell from the sky and was cut in half.

Because the incident happened suddenly, Zhuge Jin and Sun Jing were both surprised, thinking that this guy was drunk and crazy, but Sun Shangxiang looked at him with something strange in his eyes.

Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Jin took a boat back to Wu the next day. Liu Bei looked at the boat going away with a look of surprise on his face, thinking to himself, why are these people here?

"Military advisor, you just gave Xinye away like this, do you really want nothing?" Liu Bei wondered.

Zhuge Liang suddenly laughed: "If Liang's prediction is correct, Sun Quan will give my lord a treasure. This gift is not in vain, but has important significance."

"Baby? What's the significance?" Liu Bei was even more puzzled.
