Chapter 276 Lu Xun and Sun Ru were captured by Guo Jia and brought to Cao Cao's camp!
"What!?"
"You want me to marry Sun Ce's daughter?"
Lu Xun pointed to himself, then to the sky, momentarily at a loss for what to do.
The old patriarch of the Lu family smiled kindly and said:
“Boyan, although you are still young, you can get married first and marry Sun Ce’s daughter.”
“It’s not like our Lu family can’t afford to raise her. We can just keep her in the mansion for two or three years before we start sleeping together.”
Lu Xun was completely numb!
no……
How did he suddenly end up in this marriage?
Although, as a scion of a prominent family, Lu Xun understood that it was impossible for him to make his own decisions about his marriage.
But how old is he now?
It was really hard to accept that he suddenly had a wife.
However, the old patriarch of the Lu family couldn't care less about all that.
We're all from prominent families, isn't that how we all got by?
The wedding date was privately agreed upon by the old patriarch of the Lu family and Sun Quan, and was set for half a month later.
Both sides knew perfectly well that this so-called marriage was just a formality, serving as a friendly bridge for harmony between Sun Quan and the powerful families of Jiangdong.
The news spread like wildfire.
Many prominent families in Jiangdong, who had previously been hostile to Sun's army, unanimously congratulated the Lu family patriarch and Lu Xun, and prepared generous gifts.
The ice layer looked as if it was about to be broken.
Only Lu Xun and Sun Ru were opposed to this marriage.

Sun Mansion Backyard
Wu Guotai was expressionless as she tried to reason with Sun Ru.
While claiming to be doing psychological work, she was actually using her grandmother's authority to force Sun Ru to marry Lu Xun as soon as possible.
She had no choice but to agree!
"Mother... Ru'er is still young. Isn't it a bit too early to talk about marriage?"
Wang, Sun Shao's mother and Sun Ce's principal wife, said with a reluctant expression.
Sun Ru's biological mother, Zhang, Sun Ce's concubine, also took the opportunity to kowtow to Wu Guotai.
Wu Guotai flicked her sleeve and said:
"What do you two know?"
"Why did Bo Fu die? Don't you understand even now?"
"If this marriage alliance is not achieved, many more members of my Sun family will die because of it!"
Zhang cried out:
"But... Ru'er is still so young, why should she have to suffer like this?"
"Couldn't it be someone else?"
Upon hearing this, Lady Wu was furious!
"You mean, you want Xiang'er to marry that Lu family boy?"
Zhang immediately lowered her head, her forehead covered in cold sweat.
Yes, Wu Guotai also applies double standards.
Sun Ru was just a concubine's daughter and was not important to Lady Wu.
But Sun Shangxiang is different; this is her biological daughter, and her only legitimate daughter.
Seeing Zhang's appearance, Wang chimed in:
"Mother……"
Before she could finish speaking, Lady Wu turned around and scolded:
"Don't you even have the demeanor of a proper wife?"
"Take good care of your Shao'er, and don't worry about anything else!"
Wang dared not speak up for Zhang anymore and kept apologizing to Lady Wu.
As Sun Jian's wife, Wu Guotai was definitely a tigress.
No one in the mansion dared to challenge her authority.
And so, Sun Ru boarded the carriage bound for the Lu family.
Of course, the person who came to fetch the bride was Lu Xun himself, along with two hundred Lu family assassins.
along the way.
Lu Xun and Sun Ru didn't exchange a single word.
Lu Xun sat outside the carriage, while Sun Ru sat inside.
Their moods were as overcast as the terrible weather.
As he approached a grove of trees, Lu Xun suddenly felt a sense of unease.
If someone is lying in ambush in the woods...
The best solution would probably be to set the forest on fire beforehand!
With this in mind, Lu Xun immediately ordered two hundred elite soldiers to carefully scout ahead.
"Hey, this kid's pretty wary."
"It's alright, we can just change our strategy."
Deep in the woods, Guo Jia smiled and led the hundreds of Yue people beside him away quietly.
Alone in a foreign land, Guo Jia could mobilize more than just the Nuggets and intelligence guards.
He could also use the gold mining team's wealth to win over the Yue people and make them work for him!
The various tribes of the Yue Mountains varied in strength, and the tribe that Guo Jia had hired was one of the best.
The tribe had a total population of tens of thousands, and Guo Jia selected several hundred of the most elite warriors to ambush them in this dense forest.
In fact, if conditions allowed, Guo Jia thought of luring all the Yue people to the north.
But right now, that's impossible.
First, the Yue people were unwilling to leave their homeland; second, they were worried about not being able to adapt to the local climate and water.
However, Guo Jia had already forged a "deep friendship" with the Yue people by spending a large sum of money, so he was not worried about the future!
Just imagine.
If Cao Cao were to come with a million armored soldiers...
Zhou Yu, resigned to his fate, rushed to the battlefield of Red Cliffs.
Then suddenly, a message arrives from Sun Quan that the Yue people in the mountains have all rebelled—what a wonderful scene that would be!
"Boom!"
As the fire blazed, Lu Xun's blood boiled with excitement.
Unfortunately, nothing burned except the trees in the forest.
"wrong!"
"My intuition has always been far superior to that of ordinary people since I was a child."
"There must be an ambush in this woods."
Lu Xun remained vigilant.
Not daring to continue forward, Lu Xun decided to take a detour in another direction.
But as he walked away from the woods, he suddenly heard a series of hurried footsteps.
Guo Jia clapped his hands, and hundreds of Yue warriors rushed out!
"you……"
Lu Xun was speechless.
He had clearly retreated, so why were there still ambushes behind him?
Guo Jia smiled and said:
Wasn't that fire beautiful?
“If you don’t set this fire and just retreat, I naturally won’t be able to get behind you.”
"But the strange thing is that you insist on admiring this huge fire."
The words fell.
Lu Xun clenched his fist.
Of course, he was not blinded by anger and tried to lead two hundred elite soldiers to break out of the encirclement.
The fighting strength of the Lu family's assassins is quite good.
Lu Xun succeeded!
He drove the carriage and sped away.
suddenly.
A crater suddenly appeared not far away!
Lu Xun, along with the carriage and Sun Ru inside, fell straight in.
Of course, Guo Jia's goal was to seize people, not to kill them.
There were no bamboo spikes or other objects placed in the pit, so it wouldn't have killed Lu Xun and Sun Ru.
"Kid, you're still too green."
"Given enough time, you will surely become a pillar of Jiangdong."
"Too bad, you're now in Cao Cao's camp!"
"Jie Jie Jie..."
