Chapter 62: The Puzzle
An hour later,
Sun Quan withdrew from the Three Thoughts Illusion with a confused face, and for the first time he had doubts about himself.
"Okay, what page are you going to start on? I'll show you. Qin Chuan in front of him spoke.
"Wait!" Sun Quan suddenly stopped Qin Chuan, "Let me ask a question first, since you can take out this "Recipe of Eternal Life" casually, that is to say, it will be handed over to you for safekeeping during this time, right?" โ
Qin Chuan's eyes narrowed, and he hurriedly withdrew the longevity formula, and said vigilantly,
"What kind of bad idea do you want to fight!"
"Brother Qin, when can't you trust me." Sun Quan shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I want to say, since there are many opportunities, we don't have to rush for a while, today I will talk to you about something else, and next time I am ready, you can show me this "Recipe for Longevity". โ
"What do you want to prepare?" Qin Chuan continued to be suspicious of Sun Quan, but he would not take it lightly at all. There's no way, who told Sun Quan to behave too abnormally. Obviously, he was eager to swallow the elixir of immortality just now, but what was the reason for Sun Quan to suppress his desire? Get ready? Sun Quan is not going to prepare a trap and calculate his whole book!
"The secret of longevity is not an ordinary thing, so I naturally have to prepare some props to observe." Sun Quan explained, deliberately selling a pass, saying that it was as if it was true, so that Qin Chuan couldn't help but guess, could it be that the longevity recipe really has a special observation method, so that others can't understand it? "Didn't I expect Brother Qin to get his hands on the "Recipe of Eternal Life" so quickly, I haven't had time to prepare the props yet. Don't worry, now that I know Brother Qin's ability, I know the bottom of my heart, and I will naturally be more willing to cooperate with you. โ
Qin Chuan thought about it and agreed,
"Then I'll trust you for once."
Yes, he has already negotiated the conditions with Sun Quan, and in seven months at the latest, Sun Quan will be able to get the entire book of longevity, in this case, why should Sun Quan take risks in order to be in a hurry, risking the consequences of offending him Qin Chuan and even offending Cihang Jingzhai?
Sun Quan is a smart person, so he shouldn't do such a stupid thing.
So, Qin Chuan carefully put away the "Recipe for Longevity" and looked at Sun Quan again,
"So, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Let's go in and talk."
Sun Quan Dao took Qin Chuan into the inner room, and even left Zu Mao outside.
Qin Chuan's eyes froze, Sun Quan couldn't believe Zu Mao? No way. In other words, what Sun Quan wanted to talk about was a very sensitive matter, and he only wanted to reduce his Qin Chuan's concerns. What exactly does Sun Quan want to talk about?
Shut the door
"Brother Qin, did you tell the Queen Mother about yesterday?" Sun Quan got straight to the point.
Qin Chuan's face sank,
"Why do you know this?!"
His meeting with Empress Dowager He should only be known in the palace, could it be that Sun Quan really hooked up with the Ten Standing Attendants?!
"Don't worry, it's not what you think. Otherwise, I wouldn't have said it. Sun Quan said, looking at Qin Chuan with a skeptical expression, helpless, "Okay, it was Taifu Yuan who told me, as for where he found out, I don't know." โ
"Why did Mrs. Yuan tell you about this kind of thing?" Qin Chuan frowned.
"Stop, stop." Sun Quan hurriedly stopped, "You are like a curious baby, why do you want to ask everything." โ
"Curious baby?" Qin Chuan opened his mouth wide, but these words came from the mouth of a little boy like Sun Quan, which made him quite speechless.
"I just want to ask Brother Qin, why do you want to do this kind of thing? Didn't you just say yesterday that the Han Dynasty couldn't withstand any toss? Sun Quan questioned.
"That's right, I said that." Qin Chuan nodded, "But it's not okay not to give some people a little warning, otherwise, they will only be more unscrupulous." Don't worry, I didn't tell Empress Dowager He about last night, I just said that King Chen Liuwang had the intention of wooing you in private, and you told me about it, that's all. โ
Qin Chuan glanced at Sun Quan and continued,
"You probably don't know that Empress Dowager He is quite prejudiced against me, and I hope to take this opportunity to ease relations with her, at least in the matter of Your Majesty, and I hope she will not interfere with our plans. As for what I said, it is actually harmless, and the Empress Dowager He will only exert pressure in the palace at most. โ
On the one hand, it is to warn the people in the palace, and on the other hand, Qin Chuan also explained to the Empress Dowager He once again their attitude of Cihang Jingzhai, at least on the issue of supporting the young emperor, the two sides are unanimous, I hope that the Empress Dowager He will not pick the sesame seeds and lose the watermelon for some personal reasons!
Sun Quan raised his eyebrows,
"What if it's self-defeating?"
No matter how reasonable Qin Chuan said, Sun Quan only looked at the results.
"I've thought it through, and there's no way it's self-defeating." Qin Chuan said firmly, he had never mentioned Li Ru to the Empress Dowager He from beginning to end, and the Empress Dowager He naturally would not think of Dong Zhuo, as long as Dong Zhuo was not forced to rebel, Qin Chuan thought that everything was controllable.
"Ha, blind confidence is not a good thing." Sun Quan sneered, "Brother Qin, I can say ugly things in front of me, if it is because of you, the situation in Kyoto will change drastically. The so-called gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, I will find a way to stay away from Luoyang, and when the time comes, you don't blame me for ignoring friendship and not implementing the plan with you. โ
Sun Quan finally told his true purpose. Take the first step to put all the blame on Qin Chuan, and directly say that he may escape, and then Cihang Jingzhai will only blame Qin Chuan for doing things badly, and will not count the blame on his Sun Quan.
โใใใใใใโ Qin Chuan was silent, "If there really is that day, our plan will probably have to run aground." โ
At this moment, neither of them thought that that day would come so quickly!
ยทยทยทยทยทยท
That night, Sun Quan didn't fall asleep for a long time, and he couldn't sleep because of the matter of the longevity formula. The facts of the day are too abnormal, and in an hour's time, Sun Quan didn't even memorize a picture?! This made Sun Quan wonder if his memory had deteriorated to the point of being an old man. Of course, it may also be the so-called lack of figurative memory, which makes it easy for him to memorize words, but difficult to remember graphics.
In order to verify this, after Qin Chuan left, Sun Quan asked someone to find a medical book, and then asked people to draw lines on it at will, and finally confirmed that although it was indeed difficult to remember, it was far from being completely impossible to remember. This is interesting, Sun Quan can only think of one conclusion - the secret of longevity is really a good thing!
But good things are good things, and now the problem is coming. Whether it is rubbing or something else, it is meaningless in the fantasy world, and if you can't memorize it, do you really want to find Qin Chuan to copy it every month in reality? It's been seven months, can Sun Quan really afford to wait?
Just when Sun Quan was thinking about what to do, suddenly, there was a commotion outside, and then Zu Mao's knock on the door sounded,
"Second son! Something seems to be going on outside! โ
"What's going on?" Sun Quan hurriedly turned over from the bed, he couldn't be dead, Dong Zhuo was going to come in, right?
"I don't know, but there are a lot of soldiers coming." Zu Mao Road.
Sun Quan's eyes flashed, and he immediately said,
"What about the back door? Let's go to the back door first. โ
Soon, Zu Mao returned,
"There's no one at the back door."
"Whew, that's good." Sun Quan breathed a sigh of relief. There was no siege of his house, which means that at least it was not coming at him, "Let's go, let's sneak to the wall and have a look." โ
