Sun Shangxiang of Changsha and Fan Jinfeng of Guiyang had long been looking forward to coming back to meet Wang Baoyu, and after receiving Wang Baoyu's letter, they almost did not hesitate to complete the handover of the city.

The two are also very knowledgeable about etiquette, and have visited their husband Wang Lian, Wang Lian is very satisfied with these two daughters-in-law, and their appearance and ability are impeccable, and they inevitably took out the few remaining silk horses in the family and gave them respectively. I didn't dare to give it all, there were too many daughters-in-law, and I couldn't share them.

The younger brother Wang Baochuan was sent to Nanjun by Wang Baoyu and became Fan Jinqiang's apprentice. Because he is Wang Baoyu's younger brother, Fan Jinqiang naturally regards him as different from everyone else, and treats him as his own brother, carefully teaching what he has learned all his life.

Because Wang Baochuan's physique is similar to Wang Baoyu and not strong enough, Fan Jinqiang has put a lot of thought into this, and at the same time borrowed the dexterity of the old cat and the flying cloud mouse to cultivate him comprehensively.

What makes Fan Jinqiang very pleased is that although Wang Baochuan is not as smart as his brother, he is much more diligent than his brother, getting up early and going to bed late, and practicing hard. Finally, Wang Baochuan's martial arts made a qualitative leap, and he soon became a second-rate general.

Just sent off Jian Yong and Wang Lian, and before Wang Baoyu had time to take a breath, Deng Zhi, the messenger of Shuzhong, came to Yiling and met King Hanxing.

Wang Baoyu doesn't have much impression of this person, Deng Zhi is in his early forties, very handsome, wearing a white-washed official uniform, and at first glance he is a very honest and honest official.

"Mr. Deng, how to negotiate with Jiangdong, have you thought about it?" Wang Baoyu asked.

"Returning to the king, Deng Zhi is entrusted by the prime minister, and he will definitely live up to his mission, how to keep Jingzhou, I have already thought about it." Deng Zhi said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Okay, a precondition, try not to offend people." Wang Baoyu admonished.

"Sun Quan is a hero of the world, he can only fight, not fight. To tell the truth, according to the Prime Minister's intentions, Deng Zhi is here, Baojing is only one of them, and it is still necessary to promote an alliance, and it is best never to start another war with Jiangdong. Deng Zhi said.

"That's the best, you have a heavy burden on your shoulders!" Wang Baoyu nodded, this is also what he wants to see.

Wang Baoyu wanted to set up a banquet to entertain Deng Zhi, but he politely declined, on the grounds that if the husband can be clear, he cannot be turbid, whether it is food or women, it is a poison that makes people lose their loyalty.

Wang Baoyu was speechless for a while, this person is really a personality, he eats and drinks well every day, which is equivalent to depravity? There is a saying that when the water is clear, there are no fish, and when people are observed, there are no disciples, Deng Zhi is too corrupted by feudal thoughts, and life is inevitably a lot less fun.

Deng Zhi lived in Yiling, but refused to live in a newly decorated high-rise building. Wang Baoyu had no choice but to find him a bungalow, which had to be small and without much furniture. Deng Zhi eats very simply, and his important position is nothing more than a meat, a vegetarian and two small dishes, he never leaves his book in his spare time, his sleep is very regular, the rooster crows, and the sun and dusk rest.

Moreover, Deng Zhi's etiquette is very thoughtful, and he regularly greets Wang Baoyu, and when he sees a higher position than him, he will salute eight hundred seriously. Waiver of the number of rites? That's not good, the rules of the ancestors can't be broken, there are a lot of them at a time, and they can't be standardized, but it makes these officials who are used to freedom in Yiling very uncomfortable.

Since Deng Zhi came, Wang Baoyu sent a letter to Sun Quan to make an appointment to negotiate, after all, it was a long-term plan related to the long-term stability of the governor of Jingzhou, and he couldn't help but be careful.

Since Wang Baoyu took over Jingzhou, Ma Yunlu has been assigned an important task, she led a team of men and horses, while surveying the border, while inspecting the garrison, this trip is a few months.

On this day, Ma Yunlu rushed back, with tears on his face, Wang Baoyu looked distressed, and hurriedly asked, "Yunyun, what's wrong?" ”

"Baoyu, I dreamed last night that my brother was seriously ill and was looking forward to seeing me." Ma Yunlu choked up.

Wang Baoyu chuckled in his heart, according to Zuo Ci's inference, Ma Chao was about to return to his position, and a heavyweight like Ma Chao could not change life and death.

"Yunyun, put aside the matter at hand for a while, you go to Shuzhong to visit our brother immediately, I still have to wait to negotiate with Jiangdong here, so I won't accompany you, and say hello to my brother on my behalf." Wang Baoyu said.

"Baoyu, do you think my brother can survive this time?" Ma Yunlu asked Wang Baoyu tentatively, but Wang Baoyu just sighed and did not answer.

Ma Yunlu's pear blossoms brought rain, and tears fell like pearls: "Baoyu, Yunyun has an ominous premonition that my brother may be leaving me." Is there no way to save my brother's life? ”

Wang Baoyu comforted: "Yunyun, some things are providential, we must learn to face them calmly, even if my brother is gone, there is still me." ”

"Hmph, you're going to leave someday." Ma Yunlu snorted, still asked Hua Tuo for some medicine, and then took a few hundred people and hurried west.

It's not that Wang Baoyu is ruthless, it's really that some people's fate is difficult to change, in order to get the third brother Zhang Fei out of trouble, Wang Baoyu sent Feiyun Mouse to try his best to get rid of Zhang Da and Fan Jiang, so that Zhang Fei first avoided the disaster of decapitation, and then got out of the fire, thinking that everything was fine, but as a result, Zhang Fei unexpectedly sat down.

There is only one ending, that is, Zhang Fei still passed away and did not live one more day, which shows that the Grim Reaper never slacks off. In a word, a murderous warrior like Ma Chao can have a good death, which is already the favor of God.

A few days later, Sun Shangxiang and Fan Jinfeng also rushed back, and there was a little more excitement in Yiling City.

Half a month later, the Jiangdong messenger sent the news that a group of people was rushing to start an important tripartite negotiation.

It's not like I haven't talked about it. Wang Baoyu still has the same attitude as before, giving full authority to Mo Qianxun and Cai Wenji, hiding a clean by himself, believing in the ability and eloquence of the two of them, they will definitely be able to complete the task smoothly.

However, when the Jiangdong negotiation team arrived at the gate of Yiling, Cai Wenji hurriedly sent someone to call out Wang Baoyu, who was hiding aside, and he had to come forward, and things were a little bad.

Wang Baoyu understood at a glance from afar, and smiled bitterly to himself, this negotiation must be participated.

In front of a team of 1,000 people, there was a luxurious chariot, embroidered with the pattern of unicorn auspicious clouds, it was actually Sun Quan, the king of Wu, who came in person, accompanied by Sun Shao, who was the prime minister.

Wang Baoyu hurriedly called Sun Shangxiang and others, and went out of the city gate to greet him ceremoniously, as soon as Sun Quan stepped out of the car, he said angrily: "Baoyu, today I have the whole Jingzhou, and it seems that the style is better than before!" ”
