Chapter 40: Death
Qiao Cheng is constantly ravaging his Tao Te Ching that has been read I don't know how many times in the study at the moment.
Qiao Cheng's anxious mood is like the sun outside the window, although it is not very exposed, but it is extremely hurtful. What the hell is Qiao Tai'an? Is the army made or lost? The Duck Man...... Is there a connection?
Closing the book, Qiao Cheng's mind couldn't help but have the names of many characters. Cui Hao, Qiu Chuji, Liu Bingzhong....... Every time he thought of this, Joe CD couldn't help but feel fear.......
When they took refuge in those foreign races, were they all as afraid as themselves, afraid of the accusations of future generations, and afraid of infamy in history? When the barbarians danced wildly and the Central Plains was bloody, did they convert foreign monarchs into China and China as recorded in the history books?
Qiao Cheng was carrying all kinds of worries at the moment, constantly making excuses for his actions.
This is the consequence of the Confucian culture, which is constantly adding new dyes, and is older than the old sauce jar. The higher the civilization, the more it falls into the situation of being reduced by one force. Qiao Cheng even took the initiative to take refuge in a foreign race after the rebellion.
Maybe the only thing Qiao Cheng did better than his descendants was that he was not as shameless as some literati in the late Ming Dynasty. Think about it, some people actually regard the surrender of the alien race as glory, and even cover their faces with a scarf to show themselves high..... It was really the most humiliating moment for the Han people.
Knock knock.
Knock knock knock......
What happened?
Qiao Cheng pushed away the chair and got up. He was already old, and this sudden rise made him a little dizzy.
After settling down, Qiao Cheng's aging body walked towards the door.
"Joe......"
Just as Qiao Cheng was shouting for the servant, the door was suddenly broken!
Then Ham Green, dressed in gray chain mail and armed with a short sword, suddenly burst in! There are also more than a dozen Semu Fanzi and Han family masters!
Despair!
Qiao Cheng wasn't actually very flustered. He just felt his heart beating, beating around as if it was going to explode!
Holding back the increasingly uncomfortable feeling in his heart, Qiao Cheng pulled away his old face, squeezed out a smile and said, "Su Niang Shengbing came to see me, I'm afraid there is something important to talk about!" ”
Qiao Su walked in with a cold face, and with a wave of her hand, a rough piece of straw paper was revealed. This is one of the trophies recovered from Andre Conti.
"Of course there is something important to talk about! And we have to talk about it in detail! ”
"Su Niang, please speak." Qiao Cheng pretended to be calm and said.
"Six days ago, Qin Cang led his army to defeat the enemy of Genoa. More than 300 enemies were killed and 500 captured. Countless excellent iron armor and silver helmets, more than 100 firearms, and other materials are not counted! Qiao Su said proudly.
Qiao Cheng seemed to understand Qiao Su's intention. He nodded and said with a smile: "Well, Patriarch Qin is really talented." Within a few days of dispatching troops, the invading barbarians were slaughtered under their horses. It's really an unborn general! ”
Qiao Su smiled and threw the straw paper on the ground. This made Qiao Cheng, who wanted to reach out and take the battle report, extremely embarrassed.
"It's not over yet."
Qiao Su smirked and pulled out the sword in her hand.
"On the eve of the battle, the general Qiao Tai'an colluded with the barbarians and teamed up with thirty-seven Qiao clansmen to rebel! If it weren't for the timely discovery of the bandits by the general Carlo, I am afraid that our army would have been defeated in the battle of the night! Qiao Tai'an colluded with barbarians..... has been killed instantly! Qiao Su threw away the scabbard, it rolled on the ground, and hit Qiao Cheng's foot.
“.......”
"You are really fighting for my Qiao family! Qiao Cheng! How can you let my Qiao family survive in Chizhou in the future? Now I'm afraid that even the newly attached barbarians can demonstrate in front of my Qiao family! Touch your conscience, doesn't it hurt? Qiao Su suddenly screamed! Wake up Qiao Cheng from the sad news of his nephew's death!
Qiao Cheng's soul began to tremble.
His left hand picked up the battle report in a constant trembling manner. It is clearly marked with 'Traitor Qiao Tai'an, with thirty-seven people....... After being beheaded under its banner! '.
"Qiao's family...... It shouldn't be like this....."
Qiao Cheng muttered.
Qiao Su sneered even more when he heard this, "Qiao's family? I think it's you and Qiao Tai'an's home! Have you ever considered Qiao's 400 Dingkou's feelings? They are now despised in Qin Cang's army and can't hold their heads up! Have you ever considered the feelings of the four hundred women of the Qiao family, from today onwards they will have to be subservient to others and do heavier work! Have you ever thought about it? You don't! ”
"It shouldn't be like this..... It shouldn't be like this!! ”
Qiao Cheng squatted on the ground, crying bitterly.
Qiao Su had a cold face and changed the sword to his right hand.
"Then forgive the concubine and commit the following crimes!"
The sword built by Qiao Bao himself simply cut off Qiao Cheng's neck.
Qiao Su is a woman, but her skills are so clever, as if she is slaughtering a chicken.
Ham Green, who was watching from the sidelines in a cold sweat, hurriedly ran up and hugged Qiao Cheng's falling head.
"Hang above the bulletin board! And that paperwork, I'm going to show it to the whole realm! Qiao Su's cold words made Ham Green hurry up.
And at this moment, Ham Green confirmed one thing.
That is, Qiao Su is by no means simple.
In the future, Qin Cang is afraid that he will have to suffer more.
......
"Hehe, there's something wrong with the head of this Kafa governor, right?"
After reading Conrado's reply, Bao Yin said speechlessly.
Qin Cang didn't sit down, but comfortably hugged Baoyin in his arms. With the gradual passage of time together, Bao Yin has become more and more transformed from a girl from a noble family to a housewife. Both mentally and physically.
Baoyin, which already has the flavor of a young woman, is fleshy in her arms, but it does not have the smell of ordinary Tatar women.
The only bad thing to say is that the kind of independent character that the Tatar woman inherited from her ancestors should be a big problem.
Most of the loot Qin Cang had obtained was hidden in the cellar. So now, there are nearly a thousand florins' belongings stored in the cellar, which means that if Qin Cang is willing, he can even start becoming a monopoly now.
But the presence of Bao Yin is obviously a big problem. Bao Yin, who had confiscated the key to Qin Cang's cellar, had to patrol the cellar every day. She had to polish every silver coin! And many of the promises made by Qin Cang were treated as hostile by Baoyin as a loser!
"Wherever people stand, they think. Just like you, who used to be my captive, you are hostile to me and hate me. Now, you're my wife, don't you still have to serve me in bed? It's all the same thing. Conrado is the governor of Kaffa, but sooner or later he will have to return to Genoa to compete with the old families. He's not going to throw his future here. ”
And Baoyin, of course, is an old fist to Qin Cang.
