    Chapter 190: Poisoning

    Zhuge Ke met Sun Shao in Qiantang City.  Sun Shao only stayed in Temu City for a few days, barely had a New Year's Eve dinner, and then rushed to Luoyang with gifts to be presented to the emperor.  Daqiao and Xiaoqiao went with him, and went to Huainan to worship their ancestors. They had left their hometown for more than 20 years, and now they have completed their merits. They should come back to report to the ancestors of the Qiao family.

    Zhou Xun can be regarded as a root of the Qiao family. Since Xiaoqiao wants to go back to his hometown to visit, of course he must take him with him. Similarly, Sun Luban must also go with him.

    Sun Luban was very unhappy. When he saw Sun Shao, he complained, saying that as a princess, she was boring and couldn't even mobilize troops. Without the queen's edict, no one would pay attention to her. Otherwise, she would probably be dead now.  We have already reached Jianye.

    Sun Shao was angry and funny, and scolded with a tigerish face: "You have caused such a big disaster, and you don't even know how to blame yourself, but you still have such a righteous excuse?"

    "What trouble did I get into?" Sun Luban raised his head high and put his hands on his hips and said, "He forced his son to die because he was disrespectful to his superiors and unkind to his father. Since he is not a father, I can naturally  Buzi, what¡¯s wrong with what goes up and what follows? This is what the sage said.¡±

    Sun Shao was speechless. This rough man actually knew how to use the saint's words as a cover.  He tapped her nose angrily: "Four kings in the world, the Wu Yue family, it would be better for you to bring troops to fight me. Now the father is not the father, the son is not the son. Do you think it looks good? Then you know that family scandals should not be publicized.  Does it make sense? Have you ever thought about how your mother is doing now? Do you still want to fight? If the queen really wants to give you a hundred thousand troops, are you going to fight to the death with your uncle? "

    Sun Luban rolled his eyes, and then he felt something. It seemed that there was really going to be a fight. No matter who won, there was no real winner.

    "Then what do you think we should do?" Sun Luban said softly: "Zi Gao can't just die like this."

    "Besides fighting, there are many ways to solve problems." Sun Shao said with an iron heart: "In the future, use your brain more and don't just lead your troops to fight against others, especially against your family."

    "Then you don't take me to Sassanid. I'm too busy." Sun Luban muttered a few words, shrugged, and stepped aside obediently.  Sun Shao immediately asked Zhou Xun about the situation, and he was relieved when he learned that the thunder was loud and the rain was light, so no action was actually taken.  He asked about the situation in the state of Wu again, and found out that the general Bu Zhi actually didn¡¯t have many people under his command, because Sun Luban clamored to lead troops to clear the emperor¡¯s side. Sun Quan was annoyed, and nominally let Bu Zhi lead troops to guard him, but in fact he only had 20,000 people.  There are only five or six thousand people directly controlled by Bu Zhi, and the rest are in the hands of Zhu Huan and Zhu Ran. In other words, because of Sun Luban's trouble, not only did Mrs. Bu fall out of favor, but Bu Zhi also followed.  Tough luck.

    "You're so on guard." Sun Shao smiled disapprovingly, "Who else is implicated?"

    "Zhu Ju." Zhou Xundao.  Zhu Ju was from Wu and quite talented. In the ninth year of the Republic of China, he married Xiaohu again and was named General Zuo and Marquis of Yunyang. His official career was going smoothly, but after being harassed by Dahu, he also suffered.  Implicated, not long ago he was reported by the school official Lu Yi, saying that he embezzled 30,000 yuan of military funds, and was directly imprisoned. He is still in prison. He heard that he suffered a lot. Xiaohu went to Mrs. Bu to cry for this.  , but it was a pity that Mrs. Bu couldn't protect herself, and she didn't even dare to send a message to Dahu. The secret agent sent by Zhou Xun got the news.

    "Is he crazy?" Sun Shao frowned in confusion: "Isn't this self-destruction of martial arts?"

    "I don't know." Zhou Xun shook his head and was very puzzled: "Speaking of it, this matter makes people feel confused from beginning to end. Although King Wu is very jealous, he is not such an unreasonable person, otherwise he wouldn't be able to  He has been in power to seize the throne for thirty years. Although Mrs. Wang is young and beautiful, when did King Wu miss state affairs because of a woman?"

    Sun Shao was also confused. At this moment, Zhuge Ke came. When he heard Sun Shao's questions, he said directly: "It's not because Mrs. Wang is young and beautiful. I heard that this Mrs. Wang has a skill."  She is a good cook, but the king cannot eat the meals she has cooked.¡±

    Sun Shao and Zhou Xun looked at each other. Mrs. Wang knew how to cook. Sun Quan was fascinated by her cooking?  Is it true that to capture a man's heart, you must capture his stomach first?

    "He is really very ill." Sun Shao smiled disdainfully: "Shang Shijian, so many chefs are not as good as a woman?"

    "The king is seriously ill." Zhuge Ke said seriously: "Before I came, I saw him once in the palace. His bones were very weak and he couldn't even speak. He yawned with his mouth open from time to time, and his nose kept running.  , and later I drank some Gu soup presented by Mrs. Wang, and I became more energetic."

    "What kind of immortal soup is so effective?" Zhou Xun couldn't help laughing, and Sun Shao also laughed. However, what Zhuge Ke said next made him unable to laugh anymore.

      "Immortal soup? I also think it is immortal soup." Zhuge Ke also looked puzzled: "I watched the king drink it with my own eyes. Within a few words, the king's eyes became brighter and his voice became louder.  Her waist also straightened up, and she looked like a completely different person. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it. Only after seeing this scene did I know that Mrs. Wang was favored for a reason."

    Zhou Xun asked in surprise: "What kind of soup is this? Why is it so effective? Is it Laoshan Ginseng from Liaodong?"

    "No." Zhuge Ke shook his head: "I don't know what kind of soup this is. I only know that if the king doesn't drink this soup for a day, he will be irritable and restless."

    The smile on Sun Shao's face slowly froze.  This situation reminded him vaguely of something. When he was in Sassanid, he once heard Emily's father say something, saying that there was a valley near Damascus that produced a specialty called Wangyou.  Grass, originally a kind of flower appreciated by the nobles, was also very delicious when used to make soup. The Sasanians once occupied the valley and dedicated these grasses to the Sassanid temple and dedicated them to Ahura, so that they could get Ahura.  Hula¡¯s blessing.  Emily's father said that the reason why Ardashir failed was probably because in order to attract Sun Shao to the city of Ctesiphon, he gave up the outer perimeter and the valley, and no more forgetworts were contributed to Ahura.  , so Ahura abandoned him.

    Sun Shao later had the opportunity to see the legendary forget-me-not. As soon as he saw the bright flowers, he recognized this beautiful and poisonous plant. He didn't take it seriously at first because the quantity was not large.  And before purification, the harm is actually not great, similar to the Five Stone Powder that celebrities take.  He just told Sun Feng, Lu Xun and others that this plant can be used as medicine, but it is easily addictive and should not be contaminated.

    However, when he heard about Sun Quan's situation, he immediately thought of this forget-me-not grass.  In his impression, this plant seemed to be produced in the Golden Triangle region of Thailand and Myanmar, but he had never heard of it since he arrived here, and thought he had remembered it wrong.  Now it seems that this drug has been discovered, but not on such a large scale yet.

    It seems that it is necessary to go back and remind the relevant personnel.

    "Yuan Xun, is this what you came here to ask about?" Sun Shao coughed and said calmly.

    "I came here to ask for medicine on the king's order." Zhuge Ke explained his purpose and looked at Sun Shao with a smile.  Sun Shao raised his eyelids and immediately understood what Sun Quan meant. Asking for medicine was just a cover, and the key was to find out his purpose.  If he wanted to kill Sun Quan, of course he would not give him any medicine, and Sun Quan would be ready for war or other solutions.  If he gave the medicine, he naturally had no plan to attack Wu, and then Sun Quan had another way to deal with it.

    Facing Zhuge Ke's relaxed and nervous smile, Sun Shao smiled and said nothing. He blew the tea leaves in the teacup and drank the tea slowly. After a long time, he said: "In my opinion,  He is sick in his heart."

    "In your heart?" Zhuge Ke tasted it for a while, but still didn't quite understand. He looked at Sun Shao curiously, waiting for his explanation.

    Sun Shao changed the subject: "Yuan Xun, you came just in time. Several of your old friends must be thinking of meeting you. I will have them summoned right away so that we can all get together. Since the last time we said goodbye,  , we haven¡¯t seen each other for probably two or three years.¡±

    Seeing that Sun Shao refused to continue the topic, Zhuge Ke couldn't help but feel worried. Did Sun Shao intend to annex Wu?  Wu State is currently suffering from internal and external troubles, and Sun Quan is acting like this. If Sun Shao takes advantage of the power of victory and unites Wei and Shu to attack Wu State, Wu State will be in great danger.  Although he was deeply worried about Sun Deng's death, he did not want Wu to perish.  As for old friends, he really has no thoughts now.

    Sun Shao didn't care whether he wanted to or not, so he invited Gan Yu, Cheng Zi and others.  Gan Yu and others are familiar with Zhuge Ke, but Zhuge Ke is a child prodigy and a famous scholar. These warriors and Zhuge Ke can't get involved. The situation is different now. Zhuge Ke is idle at home, but they have the title of Baili fiefdom.  , and each of them was accompanied by a few Yi Cong and maids with deep noses and high eyes, which was enough for them to show their authority in front of Zhuge Ke.

    Listening to Gan Yu and others talking and laughing loudly, Zhuge Ke felt a little bitter in his mouth. If he participated in this battle, how could he let these men show off in front of him? When he fought against the Funan people in Rinan County, these  He is still just a captain charging into battle.

    It¡¯s a pity that he lost this opportunity forever.

    "Yuan Xun, what a pity." Seeing that Zhuge Ke was silent, Gan You was in a very good mood. Taking advantage of the alcohol, he patted Zhuge Ke on the shoulder and said, "My king is right, it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books."  , If you don't go out for a trip, you really don't know how big the world is. Although our knowledge is shallow, our horizons are wide open. If you go there, you will definitely be ten times as good as me."Xun Xun, go out and walk more while you are young.  I dare not say anything else. If you are willing to honor me and go to Persia, I can send someone to escort you all the way to the Mediterranean, without costing you a penny.  "

    "I know you have two rich people, so you don't need to show off like this. Is Yuan Xun a moneyless person? He is a celebrity and a child prodigy. He is as talented in both civil and military affairs as Xiahou Youquan. Maybe he will be favored by a princess. In the future  Founding a country and opening up frontiers is much more majestic than you." Cheng Zi pushed Gan Yu half-seriously and said with a smile: "Yuanxun, don't stay in a small place as big as the Wu Kingdom. Go out for a walk if you have the chance.  , it¡¯s good to take a break. Now our Han scholars have traveled all over the world, and they are very popular no matter where they go. You are so knowledgeable, you will definitely not lose to Cao Zijian, Xiahou Youquan and the others."

    Zhuge Ke was moved by what they said to each other, with mixed feelings in his mouth. Who would have thought that such a big thing would happen after not seeing each other for two years.  Sun Shao managed to win the expedition with an army of 100,000 people. The Han people destroyed the powerful Sassanid Persians and planted the battle flag thousands of miles away. Even rough guys like Gan Yu and Cheng Zi became  The city lord who has a fiefdom of hundreds of miles shows how much Sun Shao has gained this time.

    Suddenly, Zhuge Ke felt a little bored. Sun Shao had made such a big fortune, would he be interested in this little territory of Wu?  Is it interesting for Sun Quan to do those little tricks?  This is like a beggar who is always worried that a wealthy man with a fortune will snatch his broken bowl. He makes himself very nervous, but in fact it is much more ridiculous in the eyes of others.

    "Heart disease, Sun Shao is right, Sun Quan has a heart disease.  The more Zhuge Ke thought about it, the more depressed he became, feeling that his trip was really embarrassing.  He drank one glass after another, and soon became drunk.

    ¡­¡­

    "If I guessed correctly, this is a drug. Once you get it, you are no longer a person." Sun Shao said in a heavy tone: "Hehe is now" He hesitated for a long time, but still did not say it, but  He let out a long sigh and slapped his palm on the case hatefully.

    Sun Luban was shocked. He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly became furious and shouted: "Am I right? There are traitors around him. Qingjun, I must go back to Qingjun."

    "You're the one who got the hell out of me." Sun Shao glared at her unhappily and shouted, "Sit down, you think you haven't caused much trouble?"

    "I provoke" Sun Luban frowned and was about to retort when Zhou Xun frowned and tugged at the hem of her clothes.  Sun Luban opened his mouth, swallowed back the words that came to his mouth unconvinced, and sat down next to Zhou Xun muttering, holding his neck and sulking.

    "Your Majesty, I think" Zhou Xun said carefully, "If the poison is really so vicious, then things in the Kingdom of Wu are really uncertain. Zigao's death may be just the beginning. Moreover, this  Is there another mystery behind it? Does a woman have such a scheming mind? Where did she get the forget-me-not?"

    "Yes, if this cancer is not found out, it will be a disaster after all." Sun Shao tapped the table gently, his eyes twinkling.  Although forget-worn grass is rare in the West, it is not a secret. The person who can use this thing to control Sun Quan must be a person who is familiar with the properties of forget-worn grass. But why use it to control Sun Quan?  Purpose?

    Sun Shao was puzzled.

    "Bo Ying" Sun Shao was about to speak, but he met Zhou Xun's gaze. Zhou Xun seemed to understand what he wanted to say, but he just shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, at this moment, my Yue Kingdom probably cannot  Intervene.¡±

    Sun Shao was speechless. He opened his mouth helplessly and had to admit that Zhou Xun's words were on point.  He and Sun Quan have always been at odds, and Wuyoucao comes from the west. This can easily be associated with him. If he sends people to interfere in the affairs of Wu at this time, I am afraid everyone will suspect that he is responsible for this incident.  It is too unfair to say this. Although he is not interested in Sun Quan, he really has no interest in the territory of Wu State. There is really no need to get angry and make Wei Shu laugh in vain.

    "What are you talking about?" Sun Luban looked at Sun Shao and Zhou Xun in confusion: "What riddles are you playing?"

    Sun Shao suddenly had an idea and said to Sun Luban with a smile: "Dahu, in my opinion, none of us can handle this matter. Only one person can settle it."

    "who?"

    "Aunt." Sun Shao explained: "Now I very much suspect that your father has been fascinated by the worry-free grass. He has been controlled by others"

    "It goes without saying that even I know that woman is not a good person." Sun Luban interrupted him angrily.

    "It's not just that woman." Sun Shao shook his head and said patiently: "The worry-free grass is a Roman thing. Where did that woman get it? I can guarantee that there is someone behind that woman. He can control your father through the worry-free grass."  The king can naturally control that woman and?'s son, in other words, if this person is not found out, the country of Wu will be in chaos sooner or later.  "

    Sun Luban took a breath of air and did not dare to interrupt any more.

    "Go to your aunt and ask her to go back to Jianye and tell your father the consequences of this matter." Sun Shao sneered: "If your father is still clear, that woman will naturally shoot herself in the face."  Feet, the bamboo basket is empty."

    When Sun Luban heard this, he ran out without saying anything.  After she left the door, Zhou Xun said worriedly: "Your Majesty, you said this Worry-free Grass is so sinister, and King Wu has been deeply poisoned. Can he still escape?"

    "I don't know." Sun Shao shook his head: "According to what I said, some people can get rid of this drug addiction, but very few."

    "If that's the case, it would be difficult." Zhou Xun raised the corner of his mouth and sighed.

    Sun Shangxiang came soon. She had already heard Sun Luban talk about the general situation. As soon as they met, she asked loudly: "Can this poison be cured?"

    Sun Shao shook his head.

    Sun Shangxiang was stunned, and after a while he said: "The only way is to let him rest, otherwise, the Kingdom of Wu will be destroyed in his hands sooner or later."

    "I'm afraid this is more difficult than detoxification." Sun Shao sighed: "Go to Jianye first and explain the situation clearly to him. It's up to him to decide what to do."

    "What do you mean it's up to him to decide?" Sun Shangxiang said angrily: "You call the army immediately. If he doesn't dare to abdicate on his own, then force him to abdicate."

    "You" Sun Shao shook his head repeatedly, not intending to explain to her, "You go to Jianye first. If you can persuade him to abdicate, of course it would be best. I heard that although Zigao left early, he still  If you have a son, take a look and see if there is anything you can build."

    Sun Shangxiang glanced at Sun Shao meaningfully, nodded, turned around and left.

    ¡­¡­

    Sun Quan was very happy to see Sun Shangxiang, but after hearing what Sun Shangxiang said, his expression immediately changed: "Poison?"

    "That's right, and it's an addictive poison." Sun Shangxiang strode in front of him with his hands behind his back, his face looking very ugly.  She was originally a little skeptical about Sun Shao's words, but when she saw Sun Quan's behavior, she knew that what Sun Shao said was absolutely right.  Now Sun Quan is as skinny as a stick, but there is a strange excitement all over his body, his evil spirit is exposed, and his hands and feet are trembling constantly.

    "Come here!" Sun Quan shouted, "Catch that bitch."
