Chapter 521 Zhou Yu's Death? Guo Tu: Does Governor Zhou want to live?
"Dear Governor Zhou, do you know who was behind the death of the Little Tyrant back then?"
Guo Tu maintained a certain distance from Zhou Yu throughout his speech.
Although Zhou Yu was dying, Guo Tu, the sixth brother, would not put himself in danger.
Zhou Yu's face was pale, but his heart was already in turmoil.
On the surface, Sun Ce's death was the work of Xu Gong's retainers.
But someone of Zhou Yu's stature certainly knew that the four great families of Jiangdong were the real culprits.
Sun Ce openly murdered Lu Kang, the head of the Lu family, escalating the conflict to such an absurd state. If the four great families do not retaliate, how will they survive in the aristocratic circles in the future?
But... could there be another hidden story besides the four great families?
Meeting Zhou Yu's gaze, Guo Tu smiled and said:
"The younger brother killed the older brother, not directly, but he was an accomplice!"
"boom!"
The doubts in Zhou Yu's mind exploded instantly.
Under the influence of the poison, he was already unable to concentrate fully.
With Guo Tu's interference, his head ached as if under a spell.
There wasn't a single comfortable spot on his body.
Watching Zhou Yu struggle in bed as his life slipped away, Guo Tu sighed:
"Sigh...this makes Guo seem like a heinous villain!"
"Guo was once an upright and kind person."
Guo Tu has absolutely no shame!
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu felt an urge to vomit blood.
If he still had the energy, he would really like to slap Guo Tu, that shameless guy with a skin thicker than a city wall, to death right now!
Who taught them all? How can they be so shameless!
The Four Evils of Cao Cao's Camp... You are far more despicable than the Four Evils of Cao Cao's Camp!
The Four Evils sit at one table, while you, Guo Tu, sit at a separate table! (Zhou Yu's inner thoughts)
The last person to be this shameless was Guo Kai, the "God of War of Qin" during the Warring States period, right?
In a daze, Zhou Yu seemed to realize something.
For a fleeting moment, Guo Tu's figure overlapped with that of someone who had passed away hundreds of years ago!
Suddenly, Guo Tu's face seemed to be enveloped in a golden light, and he said to Zhou Yu:
"Governor Zhou, do you want to live?"
"If you agree to one thing from Guo, Guo will definitely let you live."
Zhou Yu ignored Guo Tu's offer of recruitment.
As a staunch supporter of Sun Ce, how could he possibly choose to surrender to Cao Cao?
But Guo Tu's next words sent a chill down Zhou Yu's spine.
"By the way, our lord has been on the throne for several years now!"
"Does Governor Zhou still remember what his young son, Sun Shao, looked like when the Little Tyrant passed away?"
"Oh, Governor Zhou visits that boy Sun Shao every year."
"But Governor Zhou, guess what? After you die, will anyone still look after Sun Shao?"
“It’s alright, Governor Zhou. I, Guo Tu, will definitely prepare generous gifts to visit Sun Shao during festivals.”
"I'll go back and do some research to see which poisons are suitable for someone of Sun Shao's age."
"We have to ensure Sun Shao grows up healthy and strong; we can't let him die so suddenly, can we?"
"You...you...you!"
Zhou Yu was furious, his chest heaving violently.
The principle of not killing the elderly and children, and not targeting the elderly and children, clearly does not hold true in Guo Tu's case.
Zhou Yu didn't know whether Sun Quan would kill Sun Shao.
He dared not think too deeply about it; he was filled with fear and dread!
Although Sun Shao still had Lady Wu looking after him.
But... Lady Wu was also Sun Quan's mother.
Sun Quan, the powerful ruler of Jiangdong, could have a hundred ways to get rid of Sun Shao without Wu Guotai's knowledge!
Furthermore.
Even if Sun Quan doesn't take action.
Guo Tu's threat at this moment could not be ignored by Zhou Yu.
"Governor Zhou, please agree to Guo's request quickly."
"Otherwise, once the poison takes full effect, even a god couldn't save you!"
Guo Tu vividly and realistically portrays what it means to be a villain.
In a moment of confusion, Zhou Yu nodded...
The next moment, Guo Tu clapped his hands.
Xu Sheng and Xing Daorong, who had left the scene of Jiang Qin's death, walked in from outside.
"The two of them... were also...?"
Zhou Yu wept silently.
Who would have thought that Jiangdong would be infiltrated to this extent!
Zhou Yu considered that Xu Shen (Xu Sheng), who appeared in Jiangdong with Guo Tu, might have problems.
But he never expected that Xing Daorong, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, was actually a real-name undercover agent!
Doesn't this guy have a proven track record?
Didn't he use that pear blossom axe in his hand to break through Cao Cao's encirclement?
They're all fake?
Facing Zhou Yu's gaze, which resembled that of a "fake exposé," Xing Daorong's face flushed red, a rare occurrence for him.
The record was fabricated by Su Yu.
The soldiers in Cao Cao's camp all spoke in unison, proclaiming that Xing Daorong was unparalleled in bravery and martial arts, even surpassing Lü Bu!
After arriving in Jiangdong, in order to prevent the generals of Jiangdong from testing his abilities, Xing Daorong and Xu Sheng put on a show.
Having defeated Xu Sheng in one round, Xing Daorong's formidable record naturally deterred the other generals in Jiangdong from easily provoking him again.
after all.
Among the generals of Jiangdong, only Zhou Tai possessed slightly superior martial arts skills.
However, Zhou Tai was Sun Quan's bodyguard commander and rarely took action.
As for the original Jiangdong generals Taishi Ci and Gan Ning, they have long since joined Cao Cao's camp and have no connection with Jiangdong.
Without anyone questioning his credentials, Xing Daorong firmly secured the title of "Jiangdong's Top Warrior".
A feeling of weightlessness washed over me.
Zhou Yu lost consciousness.
The next moment.
Guo Tu, his eyes blurred with tears, rushed out of the camp, wailing as he ran:
"Governor Zhou was poisoned to death by Jiang Qin!"
Upon hearing this, all the generals were astonished.
The rest of the nonsense was up to Guo Tu to fabricate as he pleased.
As for Lü Meng, he agreed with everything Guo Tu said at that moment.
Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, and others deeply regretted this.
Conflicts may exist in normal times, but now that Zhou Yu is dead, it would be too ungentlemanly to keep dwelling on them.
Moreover, Zhou Yu made significant contributions to Jiangdong.
The three old men and the generals only suspected that he wanted Jiang Qin to take credit, but they never had any idea that Zhou Yu was a traitor.
Guo Tu almost fainted from crying.
While crying, he shouted that he wanted to die in Zhou Yu's place, because Jiangdong could not be without Governor Zhou!
The sound was so loud that it echoed throughout the entire camp.
Upon witnessing this scene, all the generals of Jiangdong were filled with emotion.
Mr. Guo is truly an honest and kind man!
Even though Governor Zhou had targeted him like that before, he still showed such respect to Governor Zhou!
Ling Tong, Chen Wu, Dong Xi, and other honest men quickly comforted Guo Tu, saying, "The dead cannot be brought back to life. Mr. Guo, please accept our condolences!"
Despite the comforting words of his generals, Guo Tu remained as if he had lost his beloved relatives and friends, unable to extricate himself from his grief.
From then on, Zhou Yu was no more in Jiangdong!
In a certain direction, Xun Yu and Zhang Lu simultaneously raised their eyes, as if they had sensed something.
