52. [051] Sun Ce's letter
"Zilong!" Shen Xian held Zhao Yun's hand with a sincere expression: "You see that we have taken so many things, we really can't spare our hands to send Sister Qian to the doctor, I think you are a very reliable person, so let's entrust Sister Qian to you first, and then go to you when Feng Xiao and I put down the things, okay?" β
Shen Xian glanced back at Guo Jia, Guo Jia helped Gan Qian to walk in front of Zhao Yun very tacitly, and then before Zhao Yun could refuse or agree, Shen Xian dragged Guo Jia to pick up the thing thrown aside, and the two evacuated Zhao Yun and Gan Qian's sight like a gust of wind.
Zhao Yun looked at Shen Xian's back blankly: "...... Lord Liu, I haven't told you where you want to take Miss Qian to see a doctor. β
"Lord, she...... I probably don't care about this," Gan Qian slowly raised her head and showed a very shallow smile at Zhao Yun: "She and Mr. Guo still have something to do, can you bother the general to send me back to the Prefecture Governor's Mansion?" β
Zhao Yun frowned and looked at Gan Qian. Because Guo Jia and Shen Xian were gone, Gan Qian had no one to help her, and she didn't mean to help Zhao Yun, so she gritted her teeth and barely stood up. Although Gan Qian didn't say anything superfluous, Zhao Yun could see that her face was still turning white little by little.
"Miss Qian, I'm offended." Zhao Yun thought for a moment and said seriously to Gan Qian, and then he reached out and hugged the person in Gan Qian's stunned gaze: "Go faster like this, I'll take you to see the doctor first, and then go back to the state pastor's mansion." β
ββ¦β¦ Thank you. Nestled in Zhao Yun's arms, Gan Qian said in a low voice.
After walking a few steps, Zhao Yun and Gan Qian met Gan Ning, who was actually wandering around on the street in the name of patrolling.
Gan Ning's gaze swept over Zhao Yun like a radar, Zhao Yun was very calm, and Gan Qian was a little embarrassed.
"Brother......" Gan Qian opened her mouth and called in a low voice.
Gan Ning asked with a blank expression, "General Zhao, what are you doing holding my sister?" β
"Miss Qian is injured, I'll send her for treatment." Zhao Yun replied seriously: "Xingba, is she your sister?" β
Gan Ning's face suddenly became ugly: "What's the matter?" Who did this to you! β
"It's not a big deal," Gan Qian hurriedly reassured: "I was shopping with the lord and Mr. Guo, and a carriage rushed from behind out of control, and the lord dragged us, but we were too anxious to hide, and we accidentally broke our feet." β
Gan Ning was dizzy when he heard it, and he didn't understand why Gan Qian, Shen Xian and Guo Jia would get together, especially Guo Jia, who had the wrong painting style. He thought for a moment and asked, "What about the lord?" β
Gan Qian replied: "The lord has something to do, so he will leave with Mr. Guo first." β
"What?" Gan Ning was furious when she heard it: "She just left you here?!" β
"I'm going to find her!"
After Gan Ning finished speaking, he took a few of his subordinates and left angrily while rolling up their sleeves.
Gan Qian: "......"
Zhao Yun: "......"
Brother Xingba, is that how you go? You're not quite right, are you?
Looking at Gan Ning's distant back, Zhao Yun sighed: "Brother Xingba is really a lover. β
Gan Qian laughed in a low voice: "General...... Just say it's unreliable. β
"How can you talk about others behind your back?" Zhao Yun first said righteously, and then he saw Gan Qian's slightly stunned face, coughed a few times and added: "Hmm...... Brother Xingba is actually quite similar to Lord Liu in some ways. β
Okay, don't talk about others behind your back?
Shen Xian sneezed loudly, she rubbed her face with tears in her eyes, and Guo Jia took out a handkerchief and handed it over.
"Thank you." Shen Xian wiped it, folded the handkerchief and put it in her sleeve: "I'll return it to you after washing." β
"My lord, you might as well send me a new one." Guo Jia said casually: "Is it really okay for us to just throw Miss Qian there like this?" β
"Go back and find a piece of silk and cut one for you." Shen Xian looked at the several silk horses in her arms with a critical gaze, and felt how she could cut a handkerchief. Then she casually teased Guo Jia: "What, are you distressed?" It's no fun to be distressed, let's die. β
"Lord, you are such a waste." Shen Xian was holding all the best silk used to make clothes, and she couldn't make it even if she didn't have a foot, but she wanted to cut out a handkerchief. Guo Jia shrugged his shoulders and continued: "I know, but Miss Qian looked at Zhao Zilong very sadly, like looking at a treasure that she knew she couldn't get and didn't deserve, but she still liked it very much. β
Regarding Guo Jia's sudden literary and artistic expression, Shen Xian said that she was not comfortable at all, and she even forgot to answer the first of the two-line topics. Shen Xian was stunned for a while before asking, "Is it so strict?" β
"What do you say?" Guo Jia said slowly: "Miss Qian feels that she has no father and no mother, and she was almost sold when she came to join her relatives, if it weren't for the lord, you would have rescued her......
Guo Jia didn't speak thoroughly, but Shen Xian already understood what he meant. It's just that......
"I remember that Zilong is also fatherless and motherless, right?" Shen Xian analyzed seriously: "And I also came to Yizhou far away from home, and my family probably doesn't have much savings...... None of this matters. β
"The world is so chaotic, there are wars everywhere, who knows how long they can live? While you're still young, do everything you want to do, at least don't leave regrets. Shen Xian sighed softly: "Sister Qian thinks too much, in the final analysis, the most important thing is whether the person you like recognizes you." β
"Doesn't he think you're qualified to stand side by side with him?"
After Shen Xian finished speaking, Guo Jia didn't say anything for a long time, just when Shen Xian thought that Guo Jia was lost and turned her head to look at him, Guo Jia suddenly said: "Lord, I think what you said is right!" β
"Which one?" Shen Xian blinked.
"Who knows how long they can live? I did everything I wanted to do while I was young. Guo Jia stared at Shen Xian with burning eyes: "So lord, I want to drink." β
Shen Xian: "...... You go away. β
"Lord, you have to treat everyone equally!" Guo Jia shouted indignantly: "You can't treat them differently! β
ββ¦β¦ I like to treat you differently. β
After Shen Xian and Guo Jia fought all the way back to the State Pastoral Mansion, sure enough, whether it was Xun You, Cai Yan or Zhao Yun Ganqian, neither of them came back. After Shen Xian sorted the things she bought in the courtyard, she sent them to Gan Qian and Cai Yan's rooms respectively.
Most of the things Gan Qian and Cai Yan bought were jewelry, the four treasures of the study, silk and satin, and when they arrived at Shen Xian, there were only snacks and snacks left......
"Lord, handkerchief." Guo Jiayi said rhetorically: "You promised to give me a new piece." β
"Your requirements are quite high, can't I buy one? It has to be done. Shen Xian muttered as she took out another piece of silk that had been sent into Cai Yan's room. When passing by Guo Jia's side, Shen Xian's eyes fell on the purse worn by Guo Jia, she raised her eyebrows and reached out to grab a handful: "Yo, this purse is well embroidered, which little girl gave it?" β
Guo Jia looked at Shen Xian in surprise: "Lord, do you really think the embroidery is good?" β
Shen Xian glanced at Guo Jia with disgust: "It's good to have a purse belt, you can't do it yourself and pick and choose." β
"It's just that I don't understand a little," Shen Xian asked humbly, "Why is sorghum embroidered on this purse?" β
Guo Jia: "......"
"The lord is not sorghum," Guo Jia said tactfully: "This is the auspicious cloud pattern." β
ββ¦β¦ How big do you want a handkerchief? What do I do by myself? Okay, okay, you can go, goodbye! β
Shen Xian ruthlessly pushed Guo Jia out of the backyard of the State Pastoral Mansion.
Later, the angry Gan Ning ran over to settle accounts with Shen Xian, but found a terrifying thing, that is, Shen Xian actually held scissors in her left hand and an embroidery needle in her right hand, and was gesturing against a piece of cloth placed on the table.
Gan Ning: I was slapped in the face!
"What are you doing, my lord?" Gan Ning immediately forgot his original purpose, and he looked at Shen Xian with a blank face: "Embroidery? β
"Who's going to do that?" Shen Xian said without raising her head: "I'll cut a handkerchief and come out." β
Gan Ning asked sensitively, "Who are you going to give it to?" β
"Guo Fengxiao." Shen Xian opened the scissors to aim at the cloth, making a clicking sound: "I used his handkerchief and returned a piece to him." β
"Can't you just buy a piece?" Gan Ning was very puzzled: "Do you have to do it yourself?" Will you do it? β
"Are you doubting my abilities!" Shen Xian said angrily, and then her hand shook and cut crookedly.
Shen Xian threw the scissors on the table with a crisp clang. Gan Ning trembled silently, and he heard Shen Xian muttering: "Yes, I just buy a piece, why do I have to make it myself?" β
Shen Xian, who figured it out in an instant, happily pushed the embroidery needle and scissors aside, feeling that the world was a lot brighter in an instant.
"My lord, I actually came to you for something." Gan Ning scratched his head: "There is nothing big in Chengdu recently, it's not very busy, I want to go back to Mianzhu." β
"Looking for your sister?" Shen Xian glanced at Gan Ning, and saw that his expression was a little unnatural, so she asked, "Are you going to propose?" Do you need me to give you some dowry? β
"My dowry is not called a dowry...... Gan Ning was full of black lines, and he sighed: "I want to settle things first, otherwise I always feel as if something is going to happen." β
"Crow's beak!" Shen Xian raised the scissors to threaten, she looked at Gan Ning squatting under the corridor with a somewhat decadent appearance, and suddenly said: "Let me ask you, since I met you in Boss Wang's shop that year, how many times have you seen that Wang sister?" Did you send her anything? Have you spoken to her? β
For the mysterious sister of the Wang family, Shen Xian has always been unable to yearn for her, and she especially wants to know what kind of beautiful face this girl who fascinated Gan Ning. However, it is a pity that the daughter of Boss Wang's family is raised in the deep boudoir, and Shen Xian has not seen it once for so many years anyway.
The expression on Gan Ning's face was a little embarrassed, he didn't speak, just shook his head silently.
Shen Xian: "...... None of them? β
Gan Ning didn't want to deal with Shen Xian at all.
"Brother, what you said at the beginning was so arrogant! What 'whoever Lao Tzu likes will definitely like Lao Tzu, otherwise Lao Tzu will not like her'! Shen Xian looked at Gan Ning sincerely: "But now? People haven't even asked someone to bring you a word for so many years, this attitude has long been clear, right? What are you still holding onto! Pull it down in style! Why should we hang ourselves from a tree? β
"You don't understand! The first time I saw her, she was sitting in the treetops munching on plums, and when she saw me, she threw me several plums. Gan Ning interrupted Shen Xian's words irritably, and he said a little incoherently: "Although the plum is sour and my toothache, I also have to thank others, right?" But as soon as I finished speaking, the little girl's face changed, she slapped me and turned around and left, and I was completely stunned. β
"Are you flirting with people in words, and they are slapping you?"
Gan Ning looked aggrieved: "No! I just said, 'Thank you, girl, for the plums,' is there a problem with that? β
Shen Xian racked her brains to dismantle Gan Ning's sentence of only eight words, peel off the skin and crumple it, analyze it and then arrange and combine it, but she didn't find where it would lead to Gan Ning being beaten, and finally had to explain that it must be Gan Ning's expression that was too obscene.
"Nonsense!" Gan Ning looked disdainful: "Brother, I was the most handsome in the county when I was a child!" How many little girls lined up to be my daughter-in-law! β
Then you pick someone who is the least interested in you and slaps you. Shen Xian complained silently, she felt that Gan Ning was probably the reincarnation of a domineering president in her last life, and she liked to grind people.
"You like others to slap you, say it earlier!" Shen Xian looked at Gan Ning expressionlessly, and she raised her hand as she spoke: "Is it okay for me to fan you every day?" β
"Can it be the same!" Gan Ning rolled his eyes: "People's hands are small and soft, and they don't hurt when they hit their faces, if you slap ...... lord."
"Perverted!" Shen Xian commented unceremoniously: "Okay, let's go, I don't want to listen to you and your sister-in-law's bad things, hurry up and go to Mianzhu to save yourself from worrying about this matter every day!" When the time comes, it doesn't matter if you marry or not, give yourself a result! β
Gan Ning was a little hesitant when she left, and Shen Xian asked angrily, "What else do you have to do?" β
"I do have something," Gan Ning scratched his head tangledly, "but I can't remember." β
"Then wait until you think about it!"
Gan Qian and Cai Yan were not there, and there was no need to make handkerchiefs, so Shen Xian had nothing to do for a while, so she simply ran back to the house to sleep. But when Shen Xian climbed onto the bed and moved the pillow to hold it in her arms, she found a fluttering letter pressed under the pillow.
Who put this here? Shen Xian opened the letter inexplicably, and first wrote some messy nonsense on it, Shen Xian yawned when she saw it, but the more she looked at it, the darker her face became, the more sleepy she looked, and finally she almost threw the pillow to the ground.
"Yuan Highway ......" Shen Xian lowered her voice and roared: "You really dare to detain my people!" β
Although most of the people in Xiu Mu are on vacation today, there is still a guard on duty in the study room ready to deal with emergencies at any time, and this unlucky guy is Jia Xu.
When Shen Xian stepped into the study, Jia Xu was honestly leaning against the window and reading. is also a blockbuster type if he doesn't make a sound, Jia Xu is not like Guo Jia who often skips work and sneaks away to drink, he stays where he should be most of the time, either reading books or sleeping, and his sense of saving is extremely low, and sometimes Shen Xian even forgets that there is such a person under his command. In fact, according to the two gifts that Jia Xu gave to Shen Xian before he defected - while telling Shen Xian to wait patiently, he sent Diao Chan to Xieyu Pass to break the deadlock, and returned Zhang Ji's Xiliang Iron Horse to Zhang Xiu - he could have a high right to speak. But it may be that Mingzhe is used to protecting himself, anyway, Jia Xu is a saw-mouthed gourd, and he only speaks when he should speak, and he doesn't necessarily say it when you ask him.
Jia Xu put the bamboo slip down and looked at Shen Xian suspiciously: "My lord, is something wrong?" β
Shen Xian didn't speak, she directly handed over Sun Ce's letter.
Jia Xu nodded after reading it: "Lord, don't worry, Bo Fu said that he can settle it himself." β
But Shen Xian couldn't rest assured at all: "There are no soldiers and no generals on other people's territory, and he is still trapped, how can he settle it!" β
And there is another point that Shen Xian did not sue Jia Xu, she felt that the reason why Yuan Shu detained Sun Ce and Zhou Yu in Shouchun was because he suspected that the jade seal of the country was in Sun Ce's hands, but he had no evidence, so he could only leave people first.
Shen Xian was not speculating, the news from other regions showed that Yuan Shu didn't know what kind of wind he was pulling and was looking for the heirloom jade seal, which made everyone know, and everyone thought he was crazy. The whereabouts of the jade seal of the country have been unknown since the destruction of Luoyang City, and Chang'an City has already clearly released the news that the jade seal is not in the hands of the emperor (Shen Xian is very suspicious that the person who released this news to stir up the water among the princes of all parties is Jia Xu), and Luoyang City has also been dug up by the princes of all parties, so the most likely whereabouts of the jade seal now are in the hands of those who have participated in the discussion of Dong.
Among these people, Cao Cao and Sun Jian were the first two forces to enter Luoyang City, so they naturally became the objects of everyone's suspicion. It is said that Yuan Shao also once knocked on Cao Cao's side, but Cao Cao is not a poor little man like Sun Ce who lost his father and was helpless, and Yuan Shao was much better than Yuan Shu, so Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were still good brothers without asking what the result wasβat least on the surface, the brothers were good. But Yuan Shu and Sun Ce are different, anyway, Yuan Shu didn't take Sun Ce in his eyes, he just decided that the jade seal was in Sun Ce's hands, unless Sun Ce handed it over, otherwise he would be locked up in Shouchun with his family.
Looking at Yuan Shu's undying posture, Shen Xian felt that it might be that Sun Jian accidentally leaked the news that he had obtained the jade seal, so Yuan Shu would be like this.
Shen Xian was still worried about how to explain the strictness of this matter to Jia Xu without revealing the jade seal, and Jia Xu suddenly asked, "Lord, ...... Do you want to say something? β
Facing Jia Xu's eyes as deep as a black abyss, Shen Xian casually looked away: "I'm just worried about the two of them!" β
"With Gongjin here, you should be able to get out of the way." Seeing that Shen Xian was reluctant to say it clearly, Jia Xu didn't dig deeper, he said lightly: "Instead of worrying about their safety, lord, I think you should care about this." β
Jia Xu said as he put the letterhead on the table and pushed it towards Shen Xian, he pointed to the messy sentences in the first half that were obviously written by Sun Ce and said, "Bo Fu has hidden a message here, he said that he left something for you in Mianzhu's house, so that you can get it back when you are free." β
Shen Xian read that passage again, and didn't notice this meaning at all, she looked at Jia Xu with admiration: "How do you know?" β
"Hide your head and hide your tail." Jia Xu put together the first and last words of each sentence with a certain pattern and pointed it out to Shen Xian, and sure enough, the sentence that did not match the preface and the afterword immediately became a smooth and neat sentence.
β¦β¦ Shen Xian refused to believe that such a lofty method of transmitting the message was thought up by Sun Ce, it must be Zhou Yu!
"Hiding something, what can he hide......" Shen Xian murmured softly, recalling Yuan Shu's recent movements, she slowly froze.
Damn, isn't it? Sun Ce, did you hide the heirloom jade seal in Mianzhu?!
Shen Xian was going crazy, if Sun Ce really put the jade seal in Mianzhu, would the place be safe? What if someone moves in and finds out? It doesn't matter if anyone can't find this jade seal, but once it appears, it will attract blood.
Shen Xian jumped up violently, she hurriedly said goodbye to Jia Xu, and went to Gan Ning to transfer troops back to Mianzhu to dig the jade seal.
After Shen Xian left, Jia Xu continued to pick up the book he had read half and studied it carefully, without being affected by Shen Xian in the slightest.
Shen Xian grabbed Gan Ning, who was fighting with Zhang Xiu in the school field, and after pulling Gan Ning aside, Shen Xian dragged him and whispered: "Bring some people back to Mianzhu with me!" The eldest brother may have hidden the heirloom jade seal there. β
"Oh." Gan Ning nodded, he turned around to transfer troops, and suddenly stopped after walking two steps, turned his head and looked at Shen Xian blankly: "What did you say?!" β
"Don't shout so loudly!" Shen Xian's afterglow caught a glimpse of Zhang Xiuzheng looking at her strangely, and she covered Gan Ning's mouth: "Find a few credible people, the sooner the better, don't make a noise, we'll leave in a while!" β
"Why is my eldest brother so good at causing trouble for me......"
In fact, Shen Xian was not sure that what Sun Ce was hiding was the jade seal, but if he was not afraid of ten thousand, he was afraid of what happened, if it was really the jade seal, no one could afford it, if it wasn't for the jade seal...... It's not that the jade seal is finished, which shows that the jade seal should be taken by Sun Ce's side, but Sun Ce is on Yuan Shu's territory, if the jade seal is searched out by Yuan Shu, and then give a big crime of secretly hiding the jade seal and plotting against him, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu will be hehe.
Irritably, Shen Xian only left a letter in the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion, notified Jia Xu, and rushed to Mianzhu with Gan Ning at night.
So after Gan Qian and Cai Yan returned home, they found that Shen Xian was gone!
"Where's she?" Cai Yan sat in front of Jia Xu with his sleeves rolled: "Dignified Yizhou Mu, run away with people without saying a word, what kind of thing is this?" Who's responsible for what happened? Wen and you don't stop her. β
"Where can I stop it?" Jia Xu said helplessly: "Bo Fu sent a letter saying that he left something for the lord in Mianzhu, and the lord didn't know what he remembered, so his face changed and he ran away." β
"Mianzhu? Stuff? Cai Yan groaned: "What kind of thing can make the lord's face change greatly?" β
"I don't know, but it must be important." Jia Xu took a roll of bamboo slips again, and he said casually: "Mianzhu is her own territory, and she still has Gan Xingba with her, so she will be fine." β
"I'm not worried about this, it's weird." Cai Yan frowned slightly: "I always feel ...... Not so good. β
Jia Xu lowered his head and said: "If the lord is willing to say, he will naturally sue us when he comes back, and if he is unwilling, he will ask in vain." β
"I hope there won't be any more big trouble...... Cai Yan sighed: "Why don't you send someone to pick her up?" β
Jia Xu shook his head: "There is only one general left in the city, it is best not to act rashly." β
Cai Yan smiled slyly, she snapped her fingers on the table: "Wen and you forgot about it, there are two new people." β
After a night of driving, when she came to the gate of Mianzhu City, Shen Xian was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes. After showing the state pastor seal to the soldiers guarding the city, Shen Xian ignored those people who were sincerely afraid, and ran directly towards the house where Sun Ce lived with Gan Ning.
This house is next to the former state pastor's mansion, Shen Xian came down as a guest room to entertain friends and envoys, she opened a door in the courtyard of the state pastor's mansion and went directly to guΓ², which can be regarded as a composite family.
When Shen Xian walked in, the maids and servants who stayed here were all stunned, and Gan Ning's subordinates came up to clear the scene and quickly drove everyone out. Only Shen Xian and Gan Ning were left standing in the courtyard and looking around.
Gan Ning crossed his arms and asked, "Where are you hiding?" β
"I don't know." Shen Xian shook her head, she picked up the shovel and chose a pleasing position under the wall: "Dig it." β
"When do you have to dig this......" Gan Ning's face darkened, but the lord was the first, and he couldn't stand aside and watch, so he had to dig with Shen Xian.
After digging all afternoon, the small yard was gnawed to the surface of the earth, and there were potholes everywhere. Gan Ning sat under the cloister panting for breath, watching Shen Xian completely tirelessly change another place to continue shoveling soil.
This time there seemed to be a door, Shen Xian was digging and digging, and suddenly felt that the shovel had touched something, she beckoned Gan Ning over, and the two cleaned up the soil together, and then took out a ...... from the pit Small wine jars.
Shen Xian stared at this wine jar expressionlessly: Big brother, what kind of mysterious hiding of the head and tail did you go to great lengths, and made it so strict, just so that I could dig out a wine jar for you?!
At this time, Gan Ning suddenly turned his head: "Who!" β
A black shadow flashed on the eaves, Gan Ning threw the shovel, ordered his subordinates to protect Shen Xian, and led a few people to chase him out.
Shen Xian held the wine jar full of dirt and looked at it for a long time, and then she slapped open the mud seal and reached in. After scooping a few handfuls in the altar, Shen Xian's fingertips touched something cold.
A very familiar touch.
Shen Xian tore off the hem of her skirt and resealed the wine jar, she stared at the direction where Gan Ning was gone, feeling uneasy. Those black shadows either followed them all the way, or they were ambushed in Mianzhu in advance, and they waited for the moment when Shen Xian dug up the things before they started to grab them, but they didn't expect that Shen Xian dug up not the jade seal but the wine jar, and those people felt that the mission had failed, so they retreated.
Although none of those people reacted now, who knows if anyone will figure out that the jade seal may have been hidden in the jar in the future? After all, Sun Ce put so much effort into it, it would not really be true that he only let Shen Xian dig the altar wine.
Even if there is a 1 in 10,000 chance...... Not even half of the news can be revealed! Those people must not be allowed to leave Yizhou alive!
