The wind in the spring, blowing on people's faces, always carries a warm warmth. It is this kind of warmth that blows green on both sides of the strait, and everything starts again, entering a new round of vitality.

However, on the bank of the Xiangshui River, which is bright for the eyes, a man and two women slowly appeared, these three people were richly dressed, and at a glance they knew that they were nobles who went out. It's just that the behavior and conversation of the three people make people feel a little weird.

The two stunning people beside the man walked side by side, but there was talk and laughter, and the laughter like silver bells made the Xiangshui River ripple for a while. The man couldn't interject at all, and it seemed very redundant. But if that's all there is, it's just a poor rich boy who has become a free entourage of famous ladies. But the topic of the conversation between the two people seemed to be inseparable from the man at all, and sometimes they took the initiative to verify it, in exchange for the man's crying answer, and it seemed that this man was the center of the trip.

Such a strange combination, coupled with their incomparable appearance and extraordinary temperament, suddenly won the side glances of other children of the family and everyone, especially the two women, which attracted those young handsome people to take the initiative to come forward and talk. Halfway through, after seeing the obvious women's buns on the heads of the two women, they both showed a strange smile to the man on the side.

For these, Ma Chao can only smile bitterly one by one, he can naturally understand that those talented people laugh at him for not knowing the wonderful stupidity of the gentle township, but how can they know how much they want to take the initiative to join the chatter between Diao Chan and Da Qiao? But these two seem to be deliberately like this, talking about some women's gossip, so that he is really shameless to come forward as a big man.

At this time, after Ma Chao rejected the suggestion of a bold woman to accompany him, Da Qiao gradually realized something inappropriate at this time, and took the initiative to say to Ma Chao: "Ma Chao, have you finished the matter of Runan?" ”

In ancient times, it was quite rude to call people by their first names. But Ma Chao was not half disgusted by Da Qiao's title, but naturally replied: "It's almost, the rest is all about some details, where can I use the great god of King Yong?" ”

Ma Chao and the three of them left Runan with Kuai Liang, and they also traveled all the way. This was naturally done to cover up Da Qiao's whereabouts, so as not to be harassed by Sun Ce again. When he arrived in Xiangyang City, he parted ways with Kuailiang, and let Kuailiang anxiously report to Liu Biao about the situation of this envoy to Runan, and carried out the next step of smashing pots and selling iron to support Liu Bei's plan.

For a fellow like Da Qiao, Ma Chao is not stupid enough to tell these big plans related to the development strategy of the Ma family. So after he vaguely brushed it over, he asked with a bit of mystery: "You two both know my true identity, you may be able to guess, what am I coming to Xiangyang for this time?" ”

Hearing this, Diao Chan's face slightly showed a hint of triumph. Years of married life made Diao Chan know that Ma Chao was the kind of conspirator who planned and then acted. Since Ma Chao appeased and instigated Liu Bei in Runan, then in Jingzhou, there must be an internal response to secretly ventilate the news. When he came to Xiangyang this time, he must have come to contact that person secretly. Moreover, Diao Chan also guessed that the identity of that person was extremely important, and Ma Chao had to be there in person.

However, like Ma Chao's concerns, Diao Chan knew that Da Qiao was on his side, and he couldn't open his mouth with these words. This feeling of knowing in my heart that I still want to hold back my words can't help but feel bitter for a while. In particular, she had to look back and forth at Ma Chao and Da Qiao as if she couldn't guess on the surface.

"Xiangyang is a place that we are too familiar with. In that world, watching Jin Daxia's three-step condor shooting, and watching Guo Daxia fight under Xiangyang City, people can't help but be fascinated. Moreover, Xiangyang has been known as Xiongguan since ancient times, and it is known as Xiangyang with iron, and it has even been called the first city in the world. Saying these things lightly, Da Qiao did not make up his mind lightly, but turned back to observe Ma Chao's reaction.

Ma Chao was naturally happy when he heard this, you know, in her previous life, women could know that there were many legends of Condor Heroes, but there were really few people who could say that Xiangyang was the first city in the world. Therefore, he smugly and said: "It is true, the north of Xiangshui, the south of Hanshui, and the side of the mountains. It is this place that has made a story through the ages, although the story of Guo Jing and Huang Rong has an exaggerated element of the novel, but this Xiangyang City is indeed a battleground for soldiers. In such a troubled world, this place is even more coveted by the Ma family, the Cao family, and the Sun family. I dare to say that in a year's time, no, even just half a year, the world will have a saying: Whoever wins Xiangyang will win the world! ”

After saying this, Diao Chan couldn't help frowning faintly, and Da Qiao on the side didn't look very natural. But Ma Chao was completely immersed in the magnificent scenery of this great river and mountain, at this time the three of them had reached the top of Da Xian Mountain, looking down, the Han River was surging, Xiangyang and Fancheng were like two jade falling on both sides of Xiangshui. The sky is high and the clouds are light, the clouds are white and the wind is clear, the grass and trees are verdant, and the bamboo forest is like the sea. Looking at Yunmengze from afar, the vast and overwhelming, no edge, on the Yuliang Continent, there are farmers rowing boats to cross the water, harvesting rice fields. Although Jingzhou has always been chaotic, it is mainly chaotic in the upper class, between the peasants and the countryside, and there is still a tranquil and cloudy paradise scene.

"If places such as Chang'an are already cities with a budding commodity economy, then Xiangyang is a holy place for vacation outings! This piece of world is really ......" Ma Chao's mood was relatively high at first, but later, his tone was unnaturally lowered: "I really shouldn't suffer from the poison of war, however, the troubled times are so ruthless......"

"Husband, don't be so emotional, since you are a person who has insight into the future, and now you are in the north, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Naturally, there is a way to save the people of Xiangyang from the poison of war. Diao Chan stepped forward, comforted slightly, and then added meaningfully: "This time I came to Xiangyang, my husband must have a plan in his heart." ”

In the end, on the word 'plan', Diao Chan deliberately bit a little heavier: she deliberately broke the matter, firstly, to let Ma Chao know that she understood the purpose of his coming to Xiangyang, and secondly, to remind him not to say more about the Ma family's strategy on Da Qiao's side.

This kind of thing, if the two of them bring it up clearly, Ma Chao will inevitably be annoyed that Diao Chan is too cautious. But in fact, Ma Chao didn't notice the unnaturalness on Da Qiao's face before, but the delicate-minded Diao Chan saw it in his eyes. Especially in her heart, she already has a problem with Da Qiao, she is naturally afraid that Da Qiao will guess the strategy of the Ma family from some words that Ma Chao inadvertently revealed.

Diao Chan doesn't like to play tricks like this, but now that she has activated the defense mechanism in her heart, she will naturally be attentive everywhere. Fortunately, after seeing that Ma Chao nodded slightly despite being slightly disliked, Diao Chan understood that Ma Chao still trusted himself a lot in his heart.

But even though Diao Chan has been vigilant everywhere, there are still some things that cannot be guarded against. After she and Ma Chao tacitly reached a contract, Da Qiao on the side said again: "Although most people believe that things are man-made, after all, some things can't escape the fate. ”

This sentence was clueless, Ma Chao and Diao Chan naturally focused their eyes on Da Qiao. And Da Qiao seemed to be a little more sad and sad for a while, but he quickly reined in and continued to say in a very heavy tone: "Ma Chao, you came to Xiangyang, definitely not just for sightseeing, as the king of Yong, what you can bring is military disasters and conspiracy chaos. If my guess is correct, you deliberately passed through Xiangyang and did not enter, just for the sake of one person here! ……”

"Who?" Ma Chao only felt that the smile on the corner of his mouth was cold, which was his reaction when he felt threatened.

"During the Three Kingdoms period, apart from Wolong in Longzhong, who else is worthy of your King Yong?"

Ma Chao was speechless, which was regarded as a tacit acquiescence, but Diao Chan seemed to be unwilling, and spoke for his husband: "Even if the husband is here for that Zhuge Liang, why does my sister say that Xiangyang will inevitably suffer from war?" ”

"Because, Sun Ce's plan is to move the administrative office to Lujiang and Anhui County after the wedding, and his plot against Jingzhou is self-evident!" Speaking of this, a sneer hung on the corner of Da Qiao's mouth: "King Yong's personal arrival, Sun Ce's relocation of the capital, Cao's Dingqingzhou, the three families are all in full swing to prepare for Jingzhou, how can Jingzhou escape the military disaster?" ……”
