Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Controversy over the Lujiang River (4)
"What? Is Miss Ying'er true? Liu Qi couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked.
"Hehe, it's rare for my sister to say a word to other men outside of her family, and now she finally says a word, but adults don't believe it, how can she be embarrassed?" Xiao Qiao smiled lightly and said teasing to Liu Qi.
Liu Qi was also suddenly embarrassed, and muttered: "I didn't mean that, I meant that it was a matter of importance, and I had to be cautious...... No, no, no, I mean, how did Miss Ying'er find out about such top-secret news? β
At this time, Da Qiao suddenly said gently: "Sister, okay, don't make fun of the general, it's a big deal, let's quickly tell Lord SΓΉ about the matter." Here's the thing, we have a cousin in Liu Tai's army, is the commander of Liu Lihong's military Sima, named Zhang Tong, he suddenly received an order today, asking him and several other military Sima to select three hundred warriors at tonight's banquet, hidden behind the account, after the banquet began, Liu Taishou took the cup as a number, so that the three hundred warriors all appeared, and the adults and all the cultural relics under his command were all beheaded, and the cousin knew that the adults saved our sisters yesterday, and he was grateful to the general, so he returned home, Tell us the news, and let us pass it on to the general, hoping that the general will prepare as soon as possible and not be harmed by thieves. β
Liu Qi finally figured out what happened, and smiled embarrassedly: "In fact, when the two girls came, we were discussing this matter, we imagined all kinds of possibilities, but we didn't expect Liu Xun to openly do it to us in front of celebrities from all walks of life in Lujiang County, if it weren't for the two girls to send such important news, this time I'm afraid we will definitely suffer, and the kindness of the two girls will be rewarded in the future." β
After finishing speaking, Liu Qi opened the tent and ordered Liu Shi to call Xu Shu, Pang Tong, Liu Ye, Gan Ning and others into the tent, sed them the intelligence report sent by Er Qiao, and then said to a few people: "Princess, I don't know what is the best way to not only break the enemy, but also protect the villagers, wealthy families and celebrities from all walks of life?" β
At this time, Xu Shu said slowly: "The bell must be tied to the bell, and I am afraid that the help of the two girls is still needed in this matter." β
"We? Hehe, if we can help the adults, we will naturally be obliged, I don't know what the adults want us to do? Xiao Qiao grinned, and suddenly became charming, making people dare not look at it again, for fear that the other party would also take away the soul.
Xu Shu laughed and said, "Where is my cousin now?" β
"I'm waiting outside the camp, but time is pressing, I'm afraid he won't be able to wait long, because it's Shen Shi now, and it will soon get dark." Xiao Qiao hurriedly put away his smile and said slowly.
"In that case, why don't you invite Zhang Sima over and let's discuss it together?" Xu Shu's smile contained a hint of deep meaning, and he said lightly.
"Hehe, what Mr. said is reasonable, Liu Shi, you invite Zhang Sima over, and we will discuss it together." Liu Qi originally wanted to invite Zhang Tong in person, but he was afraid that the movement would be too big and arouse the suspicion of others, so he asked Liu Shi to take him to invite.
Liu Shizun ordered, and after a while, Zhang Tong was politely invited.
Liu Qi first thanked Zhang Tong and ordered someone to reward him with a thousand gold, and then said to Zhang Tong: "This official still has something to ask Zhang Sima to help, I don't know if Zhang Sima is willing?" β
Zhang Tong glanced at Er Qiao, and said: "The last general is deeply raised by his uncle, and there is nothing to repay, there is something I want to ask the adult today, as long as the adult agrees to this matter, the last general is willing to serve the adult." β
"Oh? I don't know what's going on? Zhang Sima said that it was okay. Xu Shu also vaguely guessed what was going on, and hurriedly asked.
Zhang Tong gritted his teeth, and suddenly said: "The last general knows that the two cousins fell in love with the adults at first sight, and recently Xiang wants to make the decision for his uncle and give the two cousins to the adults, I don't know what the adults think?" Once the general agrees, then he will have a relationship with the last general, and the last general will naturally swear allegiance to the lord. β
"Huh? Cousin, why did you suddenly make such a shameful statement? Hugh wants to say that it is Da Qiao, even if it is the strange and small elf, at this time, he can't help but blush, and said to Zhang Tong with disgust.
But Xu Shu and other discerning people could see it at a glance, but Er Qiao's eyes were full of joy.
"This ......." Liu Qi couldn't help but beat wildly when he heard this, to be honest, as a normal man, it is absolutely impossible to say that he has no thoughts about the two beauties of Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, but now he feels that he has made a marriage contract, if he wants to marry Er Qiao, he can only use them as concubines at most, when he thinks of the famous Er Qiao becoming his concubines, he feels that he is blaspheming these two peerless beauties, although they are also concubines in history, but once it happens to him, Then I think it's a sin.
Therefore, after a deep sigh, Liu Qi said: "I'm really sorry, it's not that the official doesn't like the two girls, it's that the official already has a wife's room, and the two girls are from the Lujiang clan, how can they be concubines?" Isn't this a blasphemy against the two girls? β
Xiao Qiao was secretly relieved when she heard this, because the moment she saw Liu Qi hesitate, she couldn't help but chuckle in her heart, and thought that she was not good about herself, and people looked down on her, but now that she heard the other party's concerns, she was no longer worried, because since she was interested in Liu Qi, how could she not secretly inquire about Liu Qi's situation? Naturally, he knew that he had already signed a marriage contract with the daughter of the Kuai clan, the number one clan in Xiangxiang and Jingxiang, but she and her sister didn't care about this so-called status at all, because they liked Liu Qi as a person, not the identity of Mrs. Liu Qi, in order to be able to marry the man they liked, they were willing to be concubines.
And Zhang Tong naturally knew Er Qiao's intentions in advance, and also knew that his uncle Qiao Yu also had a positive attitude towards this, not because Qiao Yu was attached to the powerful, but because he really valued Liu Qi very much.
So Zhang Tong stepped forward and saluted Liu Qi respectfully: "My lord, please don't misunderstand, my cousin is not in love with the power of the general, and she has no intention of competing for the position of Mrs. at all, although they are stubborn, but they are all safe and obedient, the so-called beauty with heroes, they just want to guard the heroes in their hearts and live a happy life for a lifetime, this wish is enough." Although my uncle didn't ask, it could be seen from their expressions that they had decided that they were heroes in their hearts in this life. β
"Huh? This ......."
"Haha, that's a good thing. Who in the world would refuse such a good thing? Unless he's not a man. You say yes, sir. Xu Shu laughed, interrupted Liu Qi's words, and then said: "Two girls, Zhang Sima, you can rest assured that this matter is wrapped up in someone Xu, and the two girls will be happy to enter the door of Liu's house." β
"Huh? That's great. Although Zhang Tong didn't know who Xu Shu was, seeing that he dared to take care of everything in front of Liu Qi, and Liu Qi did not object, he knew that the weight of this person in Liu Qi's heart was by no means ordinary, and immediately thanked him: "Thank you Mr. Xu for your success." β
"Haha, we are all our own family from now on, why not? Sima Zhang, since the adults in my family have already agreed, I don't know what we just discussed? Xu Shu smiled and said to Zhang Tong.
Zhang Tong hurriedly said: "My lord, please rest assured, you will do whatever you ask the last general to do, even if you let the last general assassinate Liu Xun now, the last general will never frown." β
"Hehe, all right, but how could I possibly let the general do such a dangerous thing? In the future, in front of the two girls, where should I put my old face? Xu asked the general to help him select 50 brothers from my account, and Zhang Sima led them into Liu Xun's account. β
Xu Shu put away his smile and bowed to Zhang Tong: "This matter is related to the safety of my family, and I hope that Zhang Sima will try his best to find a way, of course, if Zhang Sima really can't do it, Xu has to think of another strategy, and it has nothing to do with the two girls." β
Zhang Tong thought about it, and then said to Xu Shu: "The general can rest assured that the last general is under Liu Lihong, and he is also a confidant, so who the last general wants to take, no one really dares to stop him." β
"Haha, that's good, as long as the general can do this, my family is destined to be safe and sound tonight. Alas, I only hope that Liu Xun will restrain himself from the precipice and not bring the pain of killing to the villagers, wealthy families and celebrities, otherwise, this will not be a disaster in Lujiang. β
In the end, Xu Shu's face couldn't help but show a trace of heaviness.
At this moment, I heard Liu Ye ask: "Sima Zhang, I don't know who else participated in the operation this time?" β
Zhang Tong saw Liu Ye at this time, and said respectfully: "It turned out to be Mr. Ziyang, don't hide it, Liu You, Liu Rong and Lu Lin also participated in the event this time, and the rest of the generals don't know." β
Liu Ye said slowly: "I have some favors with Lu Lin, this person is the son of Lu Jun, the late Jiujiang Governor, who has always been loyal and righteous, when I repair a letter to him, I will be able to serve the adults, and ask Zhang Sima to help deliver it, so that Zhang Sima will lead the brothers in my camp to resist the rest of the knife and axe hands, and Lu Lin will protect the villagers, heroes and celebrities, and great things can be done." β
After Liu Ye finished speaking, he wrote a letter and entrusted Zhang Tong to bring it to Lu Lin.
Liu Qi naturally lost no time in appointing Zhang Tong as the governor of Lujiang and Lu Lin as the governor of Lujiang, and promised that once the matter was completed, he would be rewarded again.
Zhang Tong thanked Liu Qi, and carefully put Liu Ye's letter, then said goodbye to Liu Qi, returned to the Taishou Mansion, and then went to find Lu Lin, this Lu Lin is the younger brother of the famous Jiangdong scholar Lu Ji, who has a loyal heart and has received Liu Ye's favor, and saw Liu Ye's letter to him, when he agreed with him, he chose a confidant and prepared to act at night.
And after Zhang Tong left, Er Qiao was also about to say goodbye and leave, but was stopped by Xu Shu and comforted: "Tonight is destined to be in chaos, the two of you are nobles of adults, how can you take risks?" Why don't you just rest in the tent for the night? β
Seeing Xu Shu like this, Er Qiao was secretly happy in his heart, and hurriedly thanked Xu Shu and agreed.
Liu Qi smiled bitterly, but seeing that the matter had come to this point, it was difficult to object.
