Xu Qian practiced guidance in the courtyard, one move and one style, not in a hurry.

Xu Shao arched his hands and stood aside, his head bowed, his eyebrows drooped, and his eyebrows wrinkled into Sichuan characters. He had been standing here for a long time, but Xu Qian had no intention of stopping, although he couldn't see any change in his expression, but he knew in his heart that this brother, who had been taking care of him since he was a child, was angry.

But he didn't dare to disagree. Facts proved that his brother's judgment was correct, and he missed the opportunity to reconcile with Sun Ce, which brought disaster to the Xu family. At this time, even if the ten-year gap is made up according to the brother's previous care, the Xu family may not be able to escape this catastrophe. The plum blossoms in the corner of the courtyard are dotted with dewdrops, transparent and crystalline, gently trembling in the morning breeze, and may fall to the ground at any time and fall into pieces. Xu Shao's mood was still more nervous than those dewdrops, and he didn't know when he would land and what he would fall into.

Xu Qian unconsciously closed the form, spit out a few times, turned around, rubbed his hands, and walked towards the hall. Xu Shao hurriedly followed, following suit. Xu Qian went up the steps, stood still under the porch, and glanced back at Xu Shao.

"Cleaned up at home?"

Xu Shao was stunned for a moment, then grinned, revealing a wry smile of begging. He arched his hand and was about to speak, but he was forced by Xu Qian's eyes, and quietly swallowed his saliva, not daring to speak. Xu Qian snorted. "Come with me." Turn and walk towards the Backrooms. Xu Shao followed him into the inner room, and at a glance he saw several camphor wood boxes at the base of the wall, and he couldn't help but feel nervous. The brothers did not divide the family, but when their father died, he gave their brothers the valuables of the family, and they were packed in such boxes. He quickly scanned it again, and found that several valuable utensils displayed in the room were missing, and the four walls were empty, which was particularly dazzling.

"When you're away from home, it's hard to carry heavy things, so take them with you. Go to Yuzhang first, wait and see the situation, if Yuzhou is stable, you will come back. If the situation is not good, you will go to Jiaozhou to avoid it. ”

"Brother, I'm ......"

"Alright, it's not your fault either." Xu Qian sighed. "Prosperity must decline, this is the best way in the world, but it is a pity that there are few people who know and even fewer people who can do. Zi General, why did the two party committees rise, don't you still understand? This is just the beginning, the greater calamity has not come, you should leave quickly, and leave a glimmer of life for the Xu family. ”

"What about my brother?"

Xu Qian said lightly: "I'll be fine." Sun Ce is not Sun Jian, he will not kill them all unless he has to, it's just a matter of living a few days of hard life. With my ability, I will not lose Cao's work, and I will still be able to have more than enough food and clothing. ”

Xu Shao couldn't bear to turn his head, not letting Xu Qian see the remorse and tears in his eyes. As he expected, Xu Qian was ready to give up his family wealth for his life, and all this was because of his hesitation and failure to make a decision immediately.

"General, without further ado, don't delay, I'll go to Taishou Mansion, you go back and prepare, get the road and go out of the city, the sooner the better, out of Runan, you will be safe."

"Whoa." Xu Shao arched his hand, gave a deep salute, and turned to leave. Before he could get down the steps, he was already in tears.

Xu Qian sat in the room, motionless. After a while, his wife, Chen, appeared at the door, glanced at the box in the corner, and her gaze swept over before finally landing on Xu Qian's face.

"Husband, I'm ready, I can go out at any time."

Xu Qian raised his head and looked at his wife in the cloth skirt, with a hint of shame in his eyes. "Madam, I have wronged you."

Chan smiled calmly. "It doesn't matter, my Chen family has suffered ten times more than this, and this setback is nothing. But the husband should be careful, although Zhang Fujun is a scholar, he is earnest, and he has a grudge with the son, so he will not be able to say a few ugly words. ”

"I am a country man, what does it matter if I am said a few words by the county general, but you are from a famous family, but now you have to bow to the Sun family, I am afraid that I will not be able to explain to the old master under Jiuquan."

Speaking of Chen Fan, Chen also sighed, his expression was gloomy, and he sat silently beside Xu Qian, holding Xu Qian's hand, and was silent for a long time.

——

Sun Ce leaned on the edge of the bed, with his hands behind his head, watching Yuan Quan make up. Although Yuan Quan didn't look back, he could feel Sun Ce's eyes, and he wanted to pretend not to know, but his heart was beating hard. She turned around and said angrily: "You don't go to Awan's room, what's the matter if you always stay here with me, will I be gossiped about by a few younger sisters?" ”

"Awan hasn't gotten up yet, she slept too late yesterday."

"You, you know how to bully us." Yuan Quan turned around, remembering the lingering last night, and his face became hot.

"I'll just say that you alone are not my opponents, it's better to join forces, but you don't believe it." Sun Ce walked behind Yuan Quan, put his arms around her slender waist, and rested his chin on her shoulder. Yuan Quan is tall and good-looking, the only drawback is that his shoulders are wider than ordinary women, and he is a little more heroic, Huang Yi doesn't like this the most, but Sun Ce likes it very much. When Yuan Quan unbuttoned his neck in front of him, revealing the well-defined collarbone, especially in the pit of his shoulder, he was fascinated, and he usually liked to hold Yuan Quan from behind and rub this part with his chin.

Yuan Quan pushed, but he couldn't push Sun Ce away, so he had to reach out and twist Sun Ce's nose. "You, you still learn, learn these unserious things, didn't Guo Fengxiao teach you? The next time I see Madame Chung, I'll have to ask her. ”

Although Guo Fengxiao is a cronie, he doesn't care about things in the boudoir. It's useless for you to ask Mrs. Zhong, can she control Guo Fengxiao? Sun Ce smiled and said: "Sister, in two days, I will go on the expedition, I don't know when I will see you, the Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold." There are still a few postures I haven't learned. ”

"Let Awan accompany you on the expedition, I will, she will be, and it's good to have someone around to take care of you."

"Nope." Sun Ce refused in one gulp. "It's too hard in the army, and I don't want you to stay there. Besides, having women in the army can affect morale, and I can't make this exception. ”

Yuan Quan didn't say anything more, leaned back slightly, leaned on Sun Ce's shoulder, looked at the faces of the two leaning together in the bronze mirror, and hesitated for a moment. "Okay, it's up to you, but not for example. You are a martial artist, you have such a good talent, you have the opportunity to become a grandmaster, and you can't waste your energy on women. ”

"Look at what you say, it's like I'm." Sun Ce said solemnly: "I am a cultivator, and the way in the room is also the way, I don't do this for the balance of yin and yang." You are so delicate, I am afraid to hurt you. ”

"Clever words." Yuan Quan blushed and couldn't help but glance at Sun Ce. Sun Ce laughed, and his hands became unruly. Yuan Quan grabbed his hand tightly and didn't let him move.

The two were talking about love and entanglement, and a maid came to report that Xu Qian's wife Chen came to visit. Yuan Quan didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly pushed Sun Ce away, tidied up his makeup in front of the bronze mirror, blinked his eyes, smiled, and turned away.

Sun Ce chased to the door and shouted, "A gentleman's word, it's hard to chase the horse." ”

Yuan Quan turned his head and glared at Sun Ce fiercely, but he couldn't help laughing. She turned her head in time to prevent Sun Ce from seeing the happy and satisfied smile on her face.
