Chapter 604: Things Are Wrong

Zhuge Jin was dripping with cold sweat, and the air in the king's tent was too depressing, he secretly wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, and arched his hand: "King Jing is the uncle of the Son of Heaven, and now Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and he had no dynasty and discipline, and he bullied the king. Previously, our lord Wu Hou did have disrespect, repeatedly increased swords and soldiers and Huainan Jingzhou, today Fang Bang and realized, begged and Jing Wang to make peace, strike the truce, join hands to fight against Cao thief, and restore the Han Dynasty. ”

Liu Ze's real intention was to force Sun Quan to sign an alliance under the city, so that he could free up his hands to deal with Cao Cao, and he did not have to kill Sun Quan, and these cold words were just pretentious to scare and scare Jiangdong's envoys, in order to win more benefits at the negotiating table. Therefore, Liu Ze reacted very coldly to the olive branch thrown by Zhuge Jin on the surface, and at this time, Jia Xu stood up and played a round, and the peace between the two sides developed in a substantive direction.

But Lu Fan's proposal for harmony made Liu Ze really a little embarrassed, and the discussion was stuck here, but fortunately, it was getting late, Liu Ze ended today's deliberations smoothly and arranged for Zhuge Jin and others to stay in Jingying.

After Zhuge Liang came in, he saw Liu Ze frowning, so he said: "The lord is worried about the matter of harmony?" ”

Liu Ze nodded, there are already three wives in the family, and Liu Ze has long since decided to have no mind to take a concubine, not to mention that after the Diao Chan incident, although Cai Yan has no guilt, Liu Ze always has a sense of apology. What's more, Sun Shangxiang is just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl. Liu Ze is already over the age and is not confused, how can such a huge age gap not make Liu Ze afraid of this family business, although it is said that people's thinking in this era does not have much rejection of old husbands and young wives, let alone concubines.

Seeing that Liu Ze did not open his mouth and acquiesced, Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "According to the minister's opinion, this family affair can be allowed." ”

Liu Zejian raised his eyebrows slightly, and then sighed and said, "The military advisor doesn't know my hardships!" ”

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "If the lord is worried that the lord will object, Liang is willing to be a lobbyist, and the mother will not object to this family business." ”

Liu Ze shook his head lightly and said, "It's the opposite. If Yan'er had learned about it. Not only will they not oppose it, but they will support it strongly. ”

Zhuge Liangqi said: "In this case, why should the lord worry? ”

Liu Ze said: "The sister of Wu Hou is in her youth. I'm not confused. Nearly half a hundred. This year is probably not comparable. ”

Zhuge Liang laughed and said: "When Chong'er married Huai Xi, he was already a sixtieth birthday, and I didn't hear Chong'er complain that he was old. The Lord is just in the prime of life, and his ambition is Kunpeng, so it is the right time for him to be a good couple. If the lord gets the Sun family, he can marry Dongwu, and from then on, he will have no worries, this beautiful thing that kills two birds with one stone, can be abandoned? ”

Liu Ze was silent, indeed, if he married with Dongwu, he could get twice the result with half the effort, this time he forcibly crossed the Yangtze River to encircle Jianye, Liu Ze's ultimate goal was to force Sun Quan to sign the alliance under the city, in order to completely eliminate his worries and concentrate all his energy on dealing with Cao Cao. Liu Ze did not know who instructed Sun Quan to implement the strategy of harmony, but Liu Ze knew very well that for Jiangdong, the best way to solve this crisis was to be reconciled, and only when the Sun and Liu families really achieved a marriage could they gain trust with each other.

Liu Ze pondered for a long time, and finally said to Zhuge Liang: "Okay, all the conditions proposed by Sun Quan will be agreed to for the time being." However, this is only a preliminary agreement, and the really hard negotiations have just begun. ”

Zhuge Liang didn't shirk and bowed down, and retreated.

Liu Ze's arm injury has not healed, after a day of fatigue, he only felt that the wound was still aching, and when he was about to go to bed, the Chinese army hurriedly came in and reported: "My lord, there is a noble lady from Jiangdong outside the camp who asks to see him." ”

After the last attack, Jin Yingwei's protection level against Liu Ze has been raised to the highest level, Pan Feng heard that there was actually a woman from Jiangdong outside the camp who asked to see him, the last assassination was because of negligence with women, this time Pan Feng was bitten by a snake, and he was afraid of the well rope for ten years, and immediately he was like a great enemy, and shouted: "How can this be reasonable, I have not commanded, people from Jiangdong are all gone?" ”

The lieutenant officer was a little embarrassed, presented a thing to Liu Ze, and said: "Originally, the lowly position had already rejected her, but she took out this thing, and she must present it to the lord in person, saying that the lord will definitely see her after seeing this thing." ”

Liu Ze took it and saw that it was a small jade pendant, carved with the appearance of a dragon, white and flawless, warm and greasy, only a few green lines at the bottom. Liu Ze was stunned in an instant, the floodgates of memory opened in an instant, and those dusty past events in his heart rolled in like a torrent.

"Pass her inβ€”"

Pan Feng hurriedly said: "Lord, you have to be careful, last time ......"

Liu Ze waved his hand and said, "It's okay, let her in, you all retreat." ”

Pan Feng had no choice but to obey the order and lead all the people to retreat.

A moment later, a woman appeared in Liu Ze's tent, the candle flame flickered, the light and shadow swayed, a purple cloak looked noble and mysterious, under the half-light and half-dark candlelight, it was a peerless face, the eyebrows were like green feathers, the nose was like a scallop, the lips were greased, the teeth were like shellfish, the most palpitating thing was her pair of bright eyes, as clear and deep as the autumn water cold pool, from her eyes, there was no joy, anger and sorrow, calm as water, bottomless.

"You're coming." Liu Ze's throat was dry, and he said these three words with great difficulty.

"I'm coming." Her voice was soft, as melodious as a silver bell, but it was unusually calm, as still as the surface of a lake without a ripple.

Then, there was a long, long silence, the two looked at each other silently, standing, no one moved their bodies, she just stood like this, the purple cloak was very wide, her whole body was bathed in that black and purple, the loneliness of her shoulders and back was beautiful and slender, Liu Ze's sleeping tent was originally very spacious, but at this moment, he suddenly found that this place was so cramped, and the kind of dazzling gorgeousness, snatching spirit, and snatching nobility that she exuded all over her body made people unable to look up.

Finally, it was Liu Ze who opened his mouth first.

"I don't know how to call you, or call you Little Sister Qiao as before, or should I call you Mrs. Qiao......"

The corners of Xiao Qiao's mouth hung a shallow reserved smile, bright as a flower, at this moment, even if there were thousands of stars in the sky, it was not as bright as her.

"It doesn't matter what you call it, His Royal Highness King Jing, Xiao Qiao took the liberty to visit today, and he asked for something special." Xiao Qiao worships and behaves in all directions.

Liu Ze took a step forward, originally wanting to help her up, but his hands were only a few feet away from her, so he stopped, gave a hand, and said, "Xiao Qiao...... Madame doesn't have to be polite, she has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to speak. ”

Xiao Qiao bowed his head and said: "Since King Jing crossed the river, the war has continued, the people of Jiangdong are frightened, miserable and separated, such military affairs, I am not willing to participate in Xiao Qiao, but Xiao Qiao can't bear to see the people leave, the city is destroyed and people are destroyed, thinking that I and King Jing are old people, so I came to die, King Jing once gave Xiao Qiao a jade pendant, thinking that it was proof of meeting. Little Qiaoken asked King Jing to be benevolent and righteous, treat the people of Jiangdong well, and stop the war. ”

Liu Ze held the jade pendant tightly, the dusty past was vivid, when he broke up with Xiao Qiao in Gaoyang Pavilion, Liu Ze gave this jade pendant as a gift, and personally promised him that if Xiao Qiao had difficulties in the future, with this jade pendant alone, as long as it was within his ability, he would definitely do it for her.

Liu Ze couldn't help but be confused, things have changed, and his ears are still in his ears, but this qiΔ“ is already a thing or a person, and the once qiΔ“ is like a passing cloud, Xiao Qiao is no longer the Xiao Qiao of the year, and Liu Ze is not the Liu Ze of the year, an unspeakable bitterness flooded in Liu Ze's heart. Back then, Xiao Qiao was just a little Lori, in the depths of Liu Ze's heart, he had always just regarded her as a little sister, this kind of feeling was purer than a blank piece of paper, but when they met again today, Liu Ze couldn't help but be confused.
