Hearing this, Xi Yu glanced at Lu Su lightly, then raised the corners of his lips, looked at Sun Ce and said softly: "You say I'm not sincere? Then may I ask Bo Fu, where is his brother Sun Zhongmou now?"

"I am taking care of my mother at home. She has become increasingly unwell in recent years, and today she is inseparable from the doctor. After Zhong Mou welcomed your arrival, he rushed back to take care of her."

Sun Ce had already figured out this question, so he answered it perfectly and naturally.

Long before Xi Yu came, he had already discussed the words with Zhong Mou, just to prevent the other party from probing.

"Oh? Feeling unwell? In this spring season, your mother is actually sick? I don't know why she is sick?"

Xi Yu approached Sun Ce with some doubts. The other party immediately took a sip of wine to relieve his embarrassment, and then said calmly: "This doctor should be checking. I think the results will be available in the near future."

However, even if he pretended to be indifferent, he still couldn't escape Xi Yu's fiery eyes.

He controlled the subtle expressions on his face well, but the slight twitching of his nose and the subconscious dodge of his eyes clearly meant that he was not telling the truth.

"In this case, I suggest that Bo Fu should find another doctor. Mrs. Wu is a well-known loyal and honest woman in the world. She single-handedly raised the four legitimate sons of General Polu. She must not be ruined by such quack doctors."

"I happened to be a disciple of Hua Tuo and learned some Qi Huang techniques. I might as well go see the old lady. If she is really seriously ill, I might as well write to Hua Tuo in time and ask him to come here to have a look."

After saying that, he stood up, which made Sun Ce's heart skip a beat and he didn't know what to do.

"How come? Bo Fu hasn't left yet? Don't delay the old lady's condition!"

Seeing that the other party was sitting still, Xi Yu lowered his head and smiled speciously, which made Sun Ce extremely embarrassed.

Mother...

How can this be fixed now?

How could Xi Yu be unreasonable and act out of common sense? Wouldn't it be enough for ordinary people to end this and move on to the next topic?

Why should he hold on to her and not let go?

Not only do you have to ask, but you also have to go and see it yourself. Is it possible to see it?

All the secrets are revealed at first glance?

"This... this mother——"

"Okay, the old lady's illness is a big deal. How can I be allowed to wait here and talk about this and stagnate? We can wait until we see the old lady!"

After saying that, he stretched out his hand to pull Sun Ce to stand up, with a hint of blame in his words.

At this moment, the tense atmosphere previously tense due to Xi Yu and Jia Ji's words was broken up by Sun Ce's embarrassment and Xi Yu's persistence.

Suddenly, everything became easier.

"Mr. Sheng Guo, this matter cannot be rushed. Let's discuss it in a few days!"

Sun Ce didn't dare to get up, and there was a hint of bitterness on his face.

If her mother knew that she had cursed her at the banquet, the old lady would have to rip her skin off because of her character!

Being able to raise the four brothers, one can imagine the physical condition of the old lady.

On weekdays, he walks as fast as flying and is very lively. From time to time, he plays mahjong and fights with his friends, and his life is much happier than his son.

Speaking of mahjong and playing cards, they are both good leisure and entertainment products from Qingxu.

Since it was brought here by merchants, it has been deeply loved by the people.

On weekdays, women from high-ranking families like to gather around the table to play with these things. Ordinary people will also play with them to relax after their daily work or in their spare time.

However, even if they enjoy these recreational games, they cannot let Xi Yu see them.

Not on the premise that he also said that his mother was seriously ill.

Wouldn't this cost him his life?

"If you don't go today, when will you go?"

Xi Yu shook his head and said with a righteous look: "Bo Fu, that is your mother. She is seriously ill and bedridden now. It would be wrong for you not to fulfill your filial piety before she collapses. How can you stop me from going to see her?"

?”

"You know, you and I will be a family in a short time. Shang Xiang's mother is naturally my mother. How can I make sense without going to visit?"

"Bo Fu, you and I are of the same family, how can you see me being such an unfilial person?"

Sun Ce was dumbfounded by his righteous words.

Why has it risen to the level of filial piety or not?

He didn't want anyone to see his mother simply because he didn't want her to know that he cursed her, and he didn't want Xi Yu to know that he had lied to him!

If this really happened, wouldn't he just end up on both ends and offend everyone?

No! No way!

"But...but there are so many inconveniences on my mother's side, so it's really not appropriate to visit her today!"

Sun Ce, whose voice suddenly became sharper, felt very uneasy, but no matter how uneasy he was, he definitely couldn't ask Xi Yu to go see his mother!

"Since my uncle doesn't want me to visit, then forget it."

After saying that, Xi Yu sighed deeply, then patted Sun Ce on the shoulder and said quite cordially: "Let's talk about the topic just now, uncle, I am no less sincere in coming to Jiangdong than you are!

"

"I didn't bring those soldiers and horses with me intentionally, but... I have to be accompanied by someone no matter where I go. Even though I am very skilled, I don't show any panic at all when facing thousands of troops and horses."

"But as the Duke of Sheng, it's not too much to bring some bodyguards with you when traveling, right? I am the only Duke of Sheng in the world today!"

"Why?"

Sun Ce blinked, a little confused.

He is not used to being called so kindly all of a sudden. What should he do?

Also, you are the only Sheng Guogong today, am I not the only Wu Hou? Isn’t it because the official position is lower than you, the number of capable and righteous people under your command is fewer than yours, and the territory you belong to is poorer than you...

·

After thinking about it, Sun Ce suddenly felt a little pitiful, and the way he looked at Xi Yu became very strange.

"What's going on here?"

Xi Yu glanced at Sun Ce without knowing why, then turned to look at everyone, and said with a smile: "It's just that even the only Duke Sheng Guo has things that are beyond my control."

"Just like the black and white cavalry, although they are the best soldiers in the world taught by me, they are not only good at riding, shooting and hunting, but also proficient in concealment, strategy, assassination..., but this does not mean that

They will be under my jurisdiction!"

"The black and white cavalry also have their own commanders who directly command them. To put it bluntly, except for the black and white cavalry that everyone around me has seen, the whereabouts of the other black and white cavalry are erratic, and even I don't know about them."

"It's just that... since they were trained by me, they are naturally only responsible for me. Wherever I am, they must be hiding somewhere."

"This is a rule that was set when the Black and White Cavalry was established. Even I can't change it. Another point is that since the Black and White Cavalry all serve me, as long as they don't die, I can't die and I won't die!

"

"Bo Fu, are you still thinking about starting a war?"

"I...this, I——"

Sun Ce had a dark face, but no color on his lips.

He really wants to start a war, but does he dare?

He originally wanted to give Xi Yu a blow, but who would have thought that he was so frightened that he didn't dare to move.

Under such circumstances, it seems that there is only one choice he can make!

If he didn't know the reputation of the Black and White Cavalry, then his life would be in vain.

In the battle of Jizhou in the north, it was the Black Cavalry who assassinated countless soldiers and horses of Yuan Shu, and it was the Black Cavalry who killed Yuan Shu's general Ji Ling. If it weren't for the Black Cavalry, I don't know when the Jizhou station that year would have ended. (
