Liu Yong is anxious, now that the affairs of the Qiao family have come to an end temporarily, what he is most worried about now is Liu Bei's side. I wonder if Liu Bei left Xudu safely www.biquge.info or if he took the opportunity to occupy Xuzhou? There is also Chen Deng's strange disease. Although Zai Fuyi received a flying pigeon message from Xiangyang, the information he got did not make Liu Yong happy, because Zhang Zhongjing was not good at diagnosing and treating "insect paralysis", and he couldn't help it. It seems that Hua Tuo must be found as soon as possible.

Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to Qiaojiazhuang, Liu Yong's heart became more and more excited, and it had been almost a year since he left Wancheng unconsciously, and he finally came back. In his emotion, Zhou Cang rode to Liu Yong's side, pretended to be inadvertent, and said softly: "Son, someone is following us." ”

Liu Yong was slightly startled, and asked softly as he looked casual, "How many people are there?" ”

"About three or five, and they've been following us all the way for half an hour. I see that no one left to report the news, they should just inquire about our whereabouts, and there is no malicious intent. ”

"Well, that makes sense. I guess these people are from Qiaojiazhuang, what does Brother Zhou think? ”

"There are no robbers between Fuyi and Wancheng, Sun Ce has just captured Shu County, the place where Lujiang is governed, and there will be no troops active here (Liu Yongxin said, Sun Ce will attack Wancheng in a few days), this is only thirty miles away from Qiaojiazhuang, and it should be a spy sent by Zhuangli. Why don't you call it? ”

Liu Yong nodded slightly, and Zhou Cang opened his voice and shouted at the bushes two or three hundred meters away, "I am Zhou Cang, who used to stay in Qiaojiazhuang, but the other side is a friend in the village?" ”

Soon after the shouting, two heads emerged from the bushes in the distance, and seeing Liu Yong and the others looking very casual, they walked forward dozens of meters, and now they can see clearly.

"Sure enough, it's Brother Zhou. Then Liu Gongzi ......" The man glanced to the side and exclaimed with an ecstatic look, "It's really Liu Gongzi!" Brothers, come out soon, our group can make meritorious contributions. Then, several more heads popped up from the side, all excited.

Liu Yong and Zhou Cang glanced at each other, they were both second monks-confused, and said suspiciously: "What do you mean, what meritorious service?" ”

Those few people came over with their eyebrows fluttering, and they all looked at Liu Yong with a happy face. "What do you mean by meritorious service just now, why don't I understand it?" Zhou Cang asked curiously.

"Brother Zhou. The eldest lady instructed that Liu Gongzi would return to the village in these days, and let us divide into several groups, and there were all three directions in the west, south, and north, and whoever received the son first would be rewarded. The men said happily.

Liu Yong was moved and asked, "How many days have you waited?" ”

"It's been half a month."

"That's hard work!" Liu Yong apologized for a while.

"It's nothing, in order to ensure the safety of the village, we usually send people out to sentry." The man explained: "It's just because the prince is coming back that he has sent more people. ”

Liu Yong nodded, and the two teams marched together towards Qiaojiazhuang. After walking for a few miles, he saw that the tall trees on the side of the road were full of yellow cloth strips, Liu Yong was startled and asked, "This is also what your young lady hung?" ”

"yes. It was the young lady who ordered us to hang up, and it has been hanging for two months. ”

Liu Yong's nose was sour, these girls are really distressing. It turned out that Liu Yong had told the three sisters a story called "The Yellow Handkerchief of Happiness". It is about a man who committed an accident and went to prison, he loved his wife very much, and he didn't want to tell her about it, so he lied to his wife that he was going out to a far, far away place, and it would take a long, long time to come back, hoping that his wife would forget about him and meet a suitable man and start a family. Later, because of his efforts to reform and his early release, the man hesitated to write a letter to his wife, saying that if she wanted him, he would hang a yellow handkerchief on the tall oak tree in front of the door, and he would get out of the car and go home. If she had remarried or didn't want him, there would be nothing hanging on the tree, and he wouldn't get out of the car and keep walking. When the people in the car saw his dejected appearance, they asked him with concern, and he told everyone the reason for the incident. Everyone was moved when they heard this, and they prayed for him and prayed for him. The closer they got to the big oak tree, the more uneasy the people's hearts became, and the man looked down and didn't dare to look at it. The car turned a corner, and suddenly the occupants of the car shouted excitedly, for the tall oak tree was covered with yellow handkerchiefs, like flags waving in the wind to welcome him home.

Every yellow silk hanging on this tree is their expectation of themselves, their thoughts about themselves, Liu Yong's tears were hazy, his heart was surging, he shook the reins of the horse, and went away in a hurry.

"Liu Gongzi is back!" In the blink of an eye, the news spread throughout the village. Qiao's family put up lanterns, cooked sheep and slaughtered cattle, and warmly entertained relatives returning from afar.

Liu Yong met Qiao Xuan first, and then couldn't wait to rush to the back hall. As soon as he entered the door, a red shadow rushed into his arms, it was Dong Yun. Dong Yun cried in her arms for a while, and choked up: "Big brother, why did you come back." ”

Liu Yong gently patted Dong Yun's back, smiled and shook his hand to Er Qiao, who was also excited, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a year, Xiao Qiao's sister has grown a lot taller." Sister Da Qiao is getting more and more beautiful. Da Qiao was happy and ashamed, but Xiao Qiao shaved his cheeks and teased: "Big brother is also thick-skinned when he goes out, and he will praise the woman's appearance." ”

Liu Yong laughed and said, "I see if Yun'er has grown taller." As he spoke, he turned Dong Yun in his arms over. Liu Yong saw Dong Yun's tears in her eyes, and she was even more pitiful, stretched out her fingers to wipe away the tears on her face, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, I have grown taller." Yun'er is about to become an adult. ”

"Big brother has been out for so long, and he didn't ask someone to bring a letter." Dong Yun pouted dissatisfied.

Liu Yong secretly screamed "ashamed", he did this inappropriately, but he explained: "In fact, the eldest brother thinks about you all the time. It's just that I often run around, I can't pull away, and I can't find someone who can bring a letter. ”

Xiao Qiao snorted lightly on the side to show disbelief, and Liu Yong hurriedly swore: "What the eldest brother said is true, if there is a violation of ......"

Dong Yun hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover Liu Yong's mouth and said, "Big brother, don't swear, I believe it." Da Qiao also said: "Sister Qian'er is joking, don't take it seriously, big brother." ”

"We have no choice but to send someone to Wancheng to inquire about the news of the eldest brother, and we don't know whether it is true or not. Now you have to tell us yourself, and you will not miss a single thing, as a punishment. ”

"He also walks with us every day and tells us stories every day."

"Okay!" Liu Yong hurriedly agreed, and apologized again and again, while the three girls were overjoyed and laughed.

After a few more days, news came that Sun Ce captured Anhui City and issued a proclamation, saying, "Those who come to surrender do not ask about the source; Those who are willing to join the army can join the army, and the whole family is exempted from taxes and forced labor; Those who do not want to join the army will not be reluctant. Therefore, the people were very happy, and those who came to join were surging, and Sun Ce's prestige was even more famous. Liu Yong said in his heart, the time to come is finally coming. Sure enough, Qiao Xuan hurriedly came to Liu Yong on this day.

"Liu Gongzi, this Sun Ce sent someone to pay a salute and want to accept my two daughters with Zhou Yu, how is this good?"

"Accept instead of marry, this Sun Ce is still arrogant, no wonder Qiao Xuan is unhappy." Liu Yong said in his heart. Liu Yong knew that Qiao Xuan in history was originally reluctant to marry this marriage, but he didn't know much about the specific reason. Therefore, Liu Yong deliberately asked: "Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are both young heroes, powerful Jiangdong, and even Prime Minister Cao Cheng praised them, not to mention that these two are both outstanding and dignified, is there anything else Qiao Gong is not satisfied with?" ”

"It stands to reason that these two are a good match for my little girl, but Sun Ce is arrogant and rude, and his words are contemptuous, thinking that marrying the little girl is to give the old man face, and he is extremely arrogant and domineering, which makes the old man very angry. Moreover, as Hanchen, these two people did not think of reporting the emperor's favor, they only knew how to divide the territory and strengthen themselves, and they were not liked by the old man. It is even rumored that Sun Ce was destined to kill his wife, and he had a wife and a concubine before, all of whom died early in less than two years. If this is really said, isn't it sending Ying'er into the tiger's mouth? It's just that Sun Ce swept Jiangdong, and its momentum is flourishing, how can the old man dare to fight against it with the safety of the whole village, I don't know if the son can deal with it? ”

Liu Yong didn't expect Sun Ce to have a wife, but according to the records of the history books, Sun Ce died a year after marrying Da Qiao, it seems that Da Qiao Ke Sun Ce. I don't know what this Qiao Xuan's idea is, so Liu Yong asked, "What does Qiao Gong mean ......?"

"The son is very smart, can you think of a reason for the old man to push off this marriage?"

Liu Yong also has this intention, but it is not that he doesn't like Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, but because he feels sorry for Da Qiao. If Sun Ce is really short-lived, then Da Qiao will be widowed after only a year of marriage, and he will be lonely and miserable for the rest of his life. However, as the saying goes: whether the shoes fit or not, only the person who wears them knows, what if Er Qiao likes Sun Ce and Zhou Yu? Why should I be such a wicked man?

Liu Yong thought for a while and said, "But I don't know if Gong Qiao has asked the two sisters, what if the two of them fall in love?" ”

Qiao Xuan glared at Liu Yong, paused for a while, and said softly: "This old man has his own plans in his heart, and the son only said that he has no son." ”

"I have a solution, maybe I can. It's just that he is a little disrespectful to Duchess Qiao, and Liu Yong is difficult to speak. ”

Qiao Xuan was stunned for a moment and said, "The clumsy wife has long since died, why did the son say this." Now that the situation is imminent, it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

"Gong Qiao only needs to say that his wife is newly mourned, and his daughter is still in the filial piety period, so he doesn't dare to obey orders. Filial piety is the foundation of self-cultivation, I heard that Sun Ce is also the most filial piety, and the new Anhui City, the people's hearts are fixed, and they will not dare to force people to be difficult. ”

"I'm just afraid that I can't hide it from someone who knows the inside story." Qiao Xuan was a little hesitant.

"It's easy." Liu Yong is confident, "You only need to pay some money to buy off relevant people." ”

"Childe, if Sun Ce asks how many years the little girl still needs to serve filial piety, how will the old man answer?"

Qiao Gong said that it would take another year.

"Why do you say a year?" Qiao Xuan was a little puzzled.

Liu Yong said in his heart that Sun Ce would die in a year, but the reason could not be said, so he said: "Zhou Yu is smart and strategic, if he is afraid of suspicion for three years, and if he says that he will be suspicious for three years, it will make them feel that there is still hope." ”

"What if Sun Ce has to wait a year?"

Liu Yong said in his heart, if Sun Ce does not die in a year, it means that history can also be changed, and it doesn't hurt to let Da Qiao marry Sun Ce, so he said: "A year later, the war in Jiangdong has been settled. Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are both young heroes, suave and intelligent, they are really dragons and phoenixes among people, and girls all over the world secretly promise each other. The two girls can match this good couple, what more can the husband ask for, and why should Qiao Gong worry? ”

Qiao Xuan didn't speak, he looked at Liu Yong in a daze, his face was cloudy, and after a while, Fang sighed and said, "Okay." That's all there is to it. The old man made the arrangement first, thank you son. ”

As soon as Liu Yong sent Qiao Xuan away, Er Qiao had heard about it and sent Yahuan to invite him. Liu Yong was trying to understand Er Qiao's true thoughts, and he happened to be two stools.

"Two girls, this is a good thing." Liu Yong deliberately joked, "Sun Ce is twenty-five years old this year, but he has already shocked Jiangdong, and the imperial court has been named the general of Yankou and the Taishou of Huiji. Not only that, Sun Ce is handsome, long, straightforward and generous, and there are countless women in the world who secretly promise each other. Zhou Yu was only twenty-four years old, and he was also clear-eyed, personable, and both civil and military. Zhou Yu is even more proficient in music and rhythm, and there is a saying: If the song is wrong, Zhou Yang Gu ......"

"You think they're so good, it's better for you to marry them." Da Qiao suddenly said angrily.

Liu Yong was stunned, this is not like the usual gentle and virtuous Da Qiao. Dong Yun and Xiao Qiao were also taken aback, and hurriedly pulled Da Qiao's sleeve, and Da Qiao blurted out this angry sentence and was also surprised, "What's wrong with me?" How can I say such a thing, maybe I can only say it in front of Brother Liu. Hurriedly tightened his mind and said in a low voice: "Brother Liu, my little sister is rude." As children, we are at the mercy of our fathers and brothers. But the father has commanded, and the daughter obeys. ”

Liu Yong was sad when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "If Sister Da Qiao doesn't want this marriage, there is a way to deal with it for my brother." ”

Da Qiao laughed when he heard this, and said, "Big brother really has a way?" ”

Liu Yong whispered a few words in Da Qiao's ear, and Da Qiao smiled when he heard it, and nodded again and again; Xiao Qiao looked at the two of them and snickered, but unfortunately Liu Yong didn't see it.

Three days later, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu really arrived as scheduled, the front guard of honor opened the way, and behind were several large cars of rare antiques and silk satin, the scene was extremely dazzling, blowing and playing all the way, so lively.

Qiao Xuan was about to take Liu Yong out of the village to greet him, and one person rushed into the mansion, but it was the local Lizheng. Qiao Xuan was surprised for a while, and he whispered a few words in his ear, and Qiao Xuan was stunned. (To be continued.) )
