Sun Jian insisted on not admitting that he had the Imperial Jade Seal.
The Yuan brothers looked at each other with confusion in their eyes. They didn't know if the heirloom seal was in Sun Jian's hands.
Yuan Shao advised earnestly from the side,"Brother Wentai, to be fair, how about I, Yuan Shao, take you?”
Sun Jian laughed coldly in his heart and thought to himself," Your Yuan family has eyes all over their heads. If I hadn't become the Mayor of Changsha, would you have bothered with me?"
However, he said,"I've always been grateful to you for treating me like an elder brother!"”
Yuan Shao continued," Since you treat me as your elder brother, and you and I have known each other for decades, listen to my advice. Hand over the Imperial Jade Seal!"”
"Why don't you believe me?" Sun Jian asked anxiously. I…"
Yuan Shao waved his hand and interrupted Sun Jian, who was about to swear and pray, saying,"You and I are both officials of the Han Dynasty. The Great Han Dynasty has nurtured its soldiers for 400 years. Today is a critical moment. Moreover, the Imperial Jade Seal represented the imperial court, so when the country was in danger, what was the difference between taking it for his own benefit and that thief Dong?!”
It had to be said that the brainwashing skills of these dukes at the end of the Han Dynasty were first-rate.
If it was a hothead, Yuan Shao might really have brainwashed him. Unfortunately, this time, the brainwashing target was not a hothead, but the wily Sun Jian.
The old artist, Sun Jian, suddenly had tears in his eyes. He said to Yuan Shao,""Benchu, what do I have to do to make you believe me? Do you want me to dig my heart out?"
With that, he grabbed the sword at his waist and prepared to draw his sword to slit his throat.
Yuan Shu was obviously not as smart as Yuan Shao. Seeing Sun Jian's performance, he sneered,
"Sun Jian, stop acting. The news of you taking the Imperial Jade Seal has already spread throughout the vassals.
My Yuan family will take care of it and return it to the current emperor one day. Hmph hmph."
Seeing his silly brother break his defense, Yuan Shao cursed his stupid teammate.
"Wentai, listen to this old brother's advice. Why are we here today?"
Why are you and I hunting for thieves? Wasn't it to clear the big man's mind! If you take the jade seal away today, how will the world view us? It sounded nice to say that the 18 dukes had come to crusade against that thief Dong, but now the biggest thief in the world was between you and me. Wouldn't this become the biggest joke in the world?”
Looking at Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, one playing the good cop and the other playing the good cop, the old artist Sun Jian couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
Yuan Benchu, Yuan Gonglu, what you two said was really nice. For the country, for the imperial court, for the Great Han, bullshit!
Didn't you want to take the Imperial Jade Seal for yourselves?! What's the difference between you and my Sun Jian?
Sun Jian knew that he couldn't give in now. Otherwise, all his previous efforts would go to waste. As long as he insisted that he didn't take it, would he really turn hostile?
Sun Jian suddenly pulled out his sword.
Yuan Shu, who was standing at the side, was shocked. He thought that Sun Jian had revealed his true intentions and was going to risk his life. He shouted,"X Literature Station, what are you doing?"
However, Sun Jian placed the sword on his neck and said in a sobbing tone,""Ben Chu, Gong Lu, the three of us have known each other for decades, and you actually question my character like this!？
Since that's the case, what's the point of me living? I'll just die!“
After saying that, he was about to slash his neck.
Sun Jian was about to slit his throat, but it frightened his subordinates. Huang Gai and the others rushed over and snatched the sword from his hand. They shouted in unison,"Lord, don't!"
The future little tyrant Sun Ce was not an ordinary person. He said to the Yuan Shao brothers with a sobbing tone,"Uncles, why don't you trust my father? We clearly didn't take the Imperial Jade Seal!"
Just from his acting skills, there was a reason why Sun Ce dominated River East and became a formidable figure.
It had to be said that Sun Jian, Sun Ce, and Huang Gai's performances were sincere and had reached the level where they could receive an Oscar.
Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu looked at each other and thought, Could it be that Sun Wentai was wronged?!
"Wentai, do you dare to swear?" Yuan Shu said coldly again.”
Swearing was easier than drinking water for an ambitious man. Sun Jian immediately expressed his stance,
"I, Sun Jian, swear that if I obtain the Imperial Jade Seal today, I will die a horrible death under the arrows!”
People in this era were still quite superstitious. Seeing Sun Jian make such a venomous oath, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu had no choice but to let him go.
Otherwise, if this matter were to spread to the ears of the dukes, it would turn into bullying others. How would Yuan Shao, the alliance leader, lead the troops?
Thus, Yuan Shao waved his hand helplessly and had his subordinates make way for Sun Jian and his subordinates.
Once Sun Jian left, Yuan Shao placed his attention on Luoyang City and quickly led his army into the city.
Yuan Shu looked at Sun Jian, who was far away. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. The heirloom seal in his hand had actually run away.
Advisor Yang Hong laughed and said,"Lord, this is a small matter!"
"What's your plan, sir?" Yuan Shu asked hurriedly.“
"My lord," said Yang Hong,"there is no need to be angry for Sun Jian. I have a plan to make Sun Jian's lies self-destruct.
The lord only needs to send someone to inform Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao of Sun Jian's acquisition of the Imperial Jade Seal. As a relative of the Han clan, how can Liu Biao let an outsider obtain the country's precious treasure?!
I expect Liu Biao will definitely turn against Sun Jian. At that time, he will be able to relieve the Lord's hatred!”
Yuan Shu was delighted to hear this and shouted,"This is a brilliant plan! Sir, you have a divine plan. Let's act according to this plan!”
The so-called karma cycle, retribution.
Three years later, Sun Jian, the ambitious man of his generation, died under his own venomous oath. He was pierced through the heart by arrows.
