Chapter 164: Fiancée
After waiting for so long, I finally waited for good news.
It seems that Sun Quan of Moling has heard the news that he is the pastor of Yangzhou, and finally no longer hesitated, and decided to send his sister to Linxiang obediently.
The news of the departure of the wedding team of Dongwu spread far and wide, and the ordinary people didn't feel anything, at most they just sent blessings to their Zhennan general Liu Feng, but the big and small officials of the two counties were all happy, because he knew that the shady tree of Dongwu had finally reached the top of their heads.
Although Liu Feng knew that this was just a political marriage, it was precisely because of this that he had to pay more attention to Sun Shangxiang's arrival.
Without Liu Feng's order, Liu Ba and others quickly got busy, they first renovated the Zhennan General's Mansion in a hurry, and added a large number of new and valuable things for the wedding room, and, with Liu Feng's acquiescence, they also requisitioned the people to repair a stone road from the west gate of Linxiang to the Xiangshui Wharf for Sun Shangxiang.
On this day at the end of autumn, the scouts who inquired along the way reported that the fleet of Dongwu had entered Changsha and would arrive in Linxiang before dusk at the latest.
Looking to the north, at dusk, the fleet of more than a dozen warships of Soochow sent relatives came on the waves, and went from the north to the south, and arrived at Linxiang Port smoothly.
Raising his eyes, the man standing with his hands on the bow of the boat facing the wind was Pang Tong.
When Liu Feng saw Pang Tong, what surged in his heart was an indescribable excitement, he knew that after so many twists and turns, today, this Wang Zuozhi, whom he had admired for a long time, finally defected to his command as promised.
When he was in Moling before, Liu Feng was still worried about how Pang Tong could defect to him smoothly without being regarded as "digging a corner" by Eastern Wu.
At that time, Pang Tong said that he had his own methods, although Liu Feng knew Pang Tong's methods, but he was still a little worried, and now seeing that Pang Tong actually came with the Dongwu family sending team, Liu Feng's worries naturally disappeared, and he also guessed that Pang Tong used a plan to get out.
"Mr. Shiyuan, it's been hard all the way."
When Pang Tong got off the boat, Liu Feng had been waiting for the trestle for a long time, and he stepped forward and smiled.
Pang Tong hurriedly returned the salute and said with a smile: "It is an honor for Tong to be able to marry Miss Sun and personally participate in this happy event, where is the hardship." ”
With such a big scene at the moment, there are many ears and eyes, and Liu Feng is inconvenient to say anything to Pang Tong, so he just politely said: "Miss, she must have been tired from the journey, so it is better to go back to the city and rest as soon as possible, I have already ordered someone to clean up the place where I stayed." ”
At that moment, Sun Shangxiang, who was dressed in a phoenix suit and wearing a Xipa, was invited to get off the boat and got on the float specially prepared for her.
From getting off the boat to getting in the car, in just a few steps, although Liu Feng still couldn't see Sun Shangxiang's face, his slender figure was in full view, and this posture was enough to make his heart ripple slightly.
But then, the attendants who followed down from the boat one after another made Liu Feng's heart chill.
More than forty maids, all dressed in women's clothes, each with a sword at his waist, his eyes were fierce, and his demeanor was no different from that of a trained soldier.
Where are these maids, it is clear that Sun Shangxiang brought her group of female soldiers to Linxiang.
Pang Tong, who was beside him, saw through Liu Feng's thoughts, so he pulled his horse closer, and said with a low smile: "Lord, if you marry the 'bow waist concubine' home, you will have to bear it in the future." ”
Pang Tong's joke, Liu Feng couldn't hear it, but he could only laugh, turned his horse around, and ordered to set off.
The team of welcoming and sending relatives was combined into one road, a mighty team of 100 steps, along the bluestone road that had just been paved, and walked slowly towards Linxiang City.
"Sir, Cao Ying sent Jiang Gan to Linxiang, you must have heard about it in Moling, right?"
Liu Feng and Pang Tong rode side by side at the forefront, and at this time, Liu Feng could say a few words in private with confidence.
Pang Tongyi held the reins in his hand, lightly stroked his short beard under his chin with one hand, and his eyes showed a little relief, "I was worried that the lord had fallen for Cao Ying's discordant scheme, but after hearing the rumors of the lord playing Wu Hou as the pastor of Yangzhou, I let go of my heart, lord, your trick is very good." ”
"Don't hide it, sir, in fact, this plan is often offered by Ma Youchang." Liu Feng, as the master, did not take the merits of his subordinates as his own.
Pang Tong nodded slightly, with a look of approval on his face, "This horse is often a piece of beautiful jade, if the lord can carve it, it will become a great weapon in the future." ”
Of course, Liu Feng knew that Ma Jian was a piece of beautiful jade, otherwise, he would not have taken it for his own use.
"Sir, according to my report in Moling, it was said that Zhou Lang had made a statement to Wu Hou that he would lead his troops to take Shu, and I think Wu Hou has not handed over Nanjun to Liu Bei for a long time, could it be that Wu Hou really has a plan to take Shu?"
In fact, for Liu Feng, Liu Bei's opponent is the object of his greatest attention, and there is a little excitement in his words, as if he feels that Liu Bei borrowing the matter of Nanjun is likely to be disturbed by Zhou Yu, so it is naturally the most beneficial to him.
Pang Tong sneered: "Zhou Lang's trick is ruthless enough, but Yuan Zhi and Kong Ming are not fuel-efficient lamps, I expect that they have already come up with a solution for Liu Bei, and they are already in the process of implementing it." ”
"The solution?" Liu Cover was curious.
"Shuzhong and Jingzhou are separated by mountains and rivers, and the news is blocked, if Dongwu wants to take Shu, he must take Liu Zhang by surprise and quickly cross the Three Gorges dangerous land. I expect that Liu Bei will secretly warn Liu Zhang, prompting Liu Zhang to send additional troops to the east to guard against it, once Liu Zhang is prepared, Wu Hou will have to give up the proposal to take Shu, and Zhou Lang's last struggle can only come to naught. ”
So it sees, it seems that Pang Tong can come up with this solution, and most of them Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu can also come up with it, which makes Liu Feng a little disappointed.
While speaking, the team has entered Linxiang City.
Today's Linxiang City is already a festive atmosphere, everywhere lanterns are displayed, jubilant, the soldiers and civilians of a city know that the future Mrs. Zhennan is coming, men, women and children are all pouring into the streets, all want to see the style of the newcomer, and send blessings to the master of Linxiang.
The happy event is coming, although Liu Feng has a heart in his heart, but at this time, he can only put it down temporarily. He walked at the head of the procession, smiling, nodding and waving to the people of the city.
When the convoy walked to the most lively street in Linxiang City, due to the crowding of the crowd, the carriage in which Liu Feng and Sun Shangxiang were riding behind was dozens of steps apart, and the speed of the convoy was getting slower and slower.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred.
In a burst of neighing, dozens of horses suddenly rushed out of the alleys on both sides of the street, rushing and colliding, and trampling many onlookers to the ground. Immediately afterward, dozens of other horses rushed out from the back of the convoy, also causing chaos.
The horses that suddenly rushed out immediately cut the whole team into three sections, and the float that Sun Shangxiang was riding was just isolated in the middle.
In the chaos, more than a dozen strong men with sharp blades suddenly appeared on the houses on both sides, rushing down from the rooftops and rushing towards Sun Shangxiang's carriage in all directions.
