Chapter 815

When Sun Qu, father of Sun Zhongran, passed away, he left behind a solid and prosperous State of Wu. Following his ascension to the throne, Sun Zhongran adopted a conciliatory approach toward the noble clans, pacifying internal and external affairs. Several military campaigns had gone surprisingly smoothly, and he had rarely experienced such panic as today—simply because his adversary was Jia Lingyun, and simply because Jia Lingyun had issued a stern vow to level Jianye to the ground. As established earlier, Buyan was revered almost like a Sage within the State of Wu. Sun Qu had tried to shake Buyan's standing, only to be angered to death. Facing Sun Zhongran's interrogation at this moment, the officials stood in mute silence, until only Lv Wucuo stepped forward to speak.
