Hearing Ling Wanqing's speculation, Wang Xu also smiled and echoed: "That's a good thing, Cao Cao is now strong and strong, and he really won't let go of a rich place like Runan." ”

Ling Wanqing saw that Wang Xu didn't care about this, and couldn't help but remind worriedly: "Lord, this Cao Cao is not simple. Looking at his actions in the past two years, the speed of development is extremely fast, Yanzhou has been fully grasped by him, if Yuan Shu is defeated, Yuzhou will also be mastered by him. If we don't find a way to contain it, I'm afraid it will be a big threat in the future. ”

"Containment? How to curb it? Wang Xu said funny.

"This ......" Of course, Ling Wanqing couldn't answer this kind of thing, and lowered her head a little embarrassed.

Seeing this, Wang Xu sighed, then shook his head and continued: "Wanqing, your concern is right, and I have known Cao Cao for many years and know him very well, so it can be said that I am more vigilant against him than anyone else." It's just that the current shape has decided that it is impossible to make any moves, can it be possible to go to the Central Plains now? ”

"As for diplomacy, there is no choice, our next target is Yizhou, why should we offend him? In this way, don't you make enemies for yourself out of thin air? Therefore, no matter how fast he expands, he can't provoke it, and now is not the time. Instead of frowning and thinking about it, it is better to let it be natural and strengthen yourself. ”

Ling Wanqing thought about it for a while, and then understood, and arched her hand and responded: "The lord has a vision, and his subordinates understand. ”

"It's good to understand." Wang Xu nodded, didn't explain more, and asked instead, "What news is there in Chang'an?" Isn't my father-in-law rectifying the dynasty? Did you annoy Xiliangjun? ”

"Of course!" When it came to Chang'an, Ling Wanqing smiled wryly, and said word by word: "Chang'an is already in danger!" ”

"Oh?" Wang Xu raised his eyebrows and said, "What's the situation?" ”

Knowing that Wang Xu was anxious, Ling Wanqing was not verbose, and said succinctly: "Because Wang Yun refused to let go of the generals of the Xiliang Army who were close to Dong Zhuo, and had already forced them all to rebel, Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou and others led their troops to Chang'an a month ago, and now I am afraid that they are already besieging and even falling." Xiliang Han Sui and Ma Teng were pardoned by Wang Yun two months ago. and were named the general of Zhengxi and the general of Zhenxi respectively. Half a month was about to raise troops and kill the king, but unfortunately Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou raided their rear, so that the two had to retreat. ”

Saying that, Ling Wanqing glanced at Wang Xu, and said apologetically: "This information should have been delivered a long time ago, but unfortunately Si Li and the Central Plains are quite chaotic. Several pathways were blocked. In addition, it is not close to Jingzhou, so for the sake of safety, the transmission of information was delayed by the person in charge at the front, and there were many delays on the way. ”

"It doesn't matter, as long as this information can finally be delivered and let me know. It's not easy to develop talent. Of course, it would be best to pay less. Wang Xu waved his hand disapprenously.

"Thank you for your understanding."

Wang Xu smiled slightly, didn't say much, turned his head and looked at the northwest sky for a long time, before sighing softly: "The fall of Chang'an is a matter of time or time, but the war in Xiliang is a bit unexpected. That Han Sui is extremely ambitious, although Ma Teng is upright and honest, but his son Ma Yi is not a peaceful person, for so many years. Xiliang was in chaos. Now. The three remaining forces are at war again, and the balance is upset. Presumably, the results will come soon. When the time comes, one mountain will not tolerate two tigers, and the two families of Han and Ma will inevitably tear their faces. Ay! That group of people, all of them believe that the world is the greatest, and it is a pity that the elite warriors raised in the land of Xiliang are really a pity. ”

"Is the lord still worried about the enemy? Wouldn't it be better if they were weaker, and it would be easier for them to calm the world in the future. Ling Wanqing said curiously.

"Yes, it's easy to calm the world." Wang Xu nodded, but suddenly stopped speaking, and after a long time, he said word by word: "But what's the use of me taking a dilapidated land of China?" ”

"Huh?" Ling Wanqing was stunned for a moment, obviously not understanding what this meant.

Wang Xu took a deep breath, turned his head around, didn't explain much, and said to himself: "Forget it, you will understand in the future." Anything else? ”

"Oh! Yes. Ling Wanqing paused and continued, "Recently, the four major families of Xiangyang have been quite close, and they don't know what they are planning. There is also Pang Tong, who is looking for by the lord, who is in the ancestral house of the Pang family, 13 years old, studying behind closed doors all day long, and does not see guests, and is not friends with ordinary companions, which is very strange. ”

"Hehe, they can get close as they go, just pay attention to gathering intelligence. Now is not the time to rectify, and when Jingzhou becomes strong and stabilizes its rule, I will talk to them in person. Wang Xu smiled slightly.

"It's Pang Tong, you guys should pay more attention to the spy in the future! But don't bother, don't get involved in anything with him, life or death doesn't matter. ”

Hearing the previous words, Ling Wanqing nodded clearly, but the latter sentence was really a little unclear, so she couldn't figure it out. It took a long time before he hesitated and said, "Lord, since this is the case, what's the use of spying on him?" ”

"It's not to spy on him, it's useless." Wang Xu shook his head and said meaningfully: "I just need to grasp his general whereabouts, if he is in Jingzhou, you can completely ignore it, but if he goes out to study, you must pay more attention, and when necessary, I will ask you where he is." ”

"No!"

Although Ling Wanqing was still puzzled, Wang Xu was reluctant to say, so she didn't ask more. Just as she was about to say goodbye and leave, Xu Shu suddenly walked out of the distant house with Diao Chan and Cai Yan.

"Huh? Sister Wanqing. ”

"Sister Xu Shu!" Ling Wanqing also greeted each other affectionately, and they all called it on informal occasions on weekdays.

Xu Shu walked over with a smile, glanced at Wang Xu, and asked, "What's wrong, is something wrong again?" ”

"It's okay, just report the recent world shape shì." Wang Xu took over and said.

Xu Shu suddenly gave him a blank look. "I didn't ask you."

As he spoke, he took Ling Wanqing's hand and said, "Sister, I haven't seen you for many days, let's go, let's talk!" ”

"This ...... I still have something to do when I go back to the spy. ”

"What's the matter, don't lie to me, now everyone is free, let's go! If there is something, Shan Huai Liang Rui will come over. ”

Seeing that she couldn't shirk it, Ling Wanqing looked at Wang Xu and saw that he didn't care, so she followed Xu Shu to the side. "Okay!"

Wang Xu saw that Xu Shu ignored him, and he didn't bother himself. Turned his head to look at Diao Chan and Cai Yan and said, "Cicada, Yan'er." What are you doing in the room? ”

"Prepare paper flowers for her husband Junna to marry Sister Zhao Yu!" Diao Chan smiled softly.

"yes!" Cai Yan also said: "This time, Sister Xu Shu designed a lot of beautiful paper flowers, which were just done. ”

"Hey! Thank you so much. ”

"Why does the husband say that? That's what we should do. Diao Chan said.

"Yes, Sister Diao Chan is right." Saying that, Cai Yan glanced at Wang Xu with a smile and continued, "Okay, husband." Just wait! I won't tell you, we still have to prepare embroidered curtains, and the husband will walk around by himself! ”

Seeing that Diao Chan and Cai Yan had already left with a smile, Wang Xu, who had not finished speaking, couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head. Just take a walk? This general's mansion wanders around all day long, what is there to go, just idle and panicked.

accompanied Xiaoyu and a few maids to tinker for a while. He was really bored, so he simply went to the study to read......

Under the active preparation of everyone, the marriage was held as scheduled, but Zhao Yu did not have parents, which saved a lot of etiquette. The main reason is that Zhao Yun and Zhao Feng both refused to accept the courtesy, but fortunately, Guo Jia helped to play a round game, and he saved a qiē province.

The wedding reception lasted all day. There was a lot of traffic in front of the General's Palace. There was a steady stream of visitors, but most of them didn't go in for long. After sending a congratulatory gift and registering his name, he left in a hurry. Almost all of the people who participated were high-level officials in Jingzhou, as well as people close to Wang Xu. But even so, twenty tables were placed, which was still the usual round table in Xu Shu's workshop.

As the bride, Zhao Yu has also become the focus of everyone's discussion, she is also a little famous in the upper echelons of Jingzhou, and no one who is close to Wang Xu does not know her. It's just that everyone is very curious about this innocent and lively girl, and few people seem to have thought about what she will be like when she gets married.

But when it appeared in front of everyone, it really shocked everyone. On weekdays, Zhao Yu is informal, dressing and dressing very casually, just like a girl who has nothing to do. But today, under the careful combing of Xu Shu, Diao Chan, Cai Yan, Wang Yue, Wang Li, and Zhao Feng's wife, a total of six women, it is really extraordinary, and even Wang Xu is a little dazed.

It's not ordinary beauty, if you talk about beauty alone, she is far inferior to Diao Chan. But after that lovely face is slightly powdered, coupled with the gorgeous dress on the body, it gives people a very contradictory beauty, it is difficult to describe that feeling with pen and ink, in short, it greatly subverts everyone's perception of her. Guo Jia, Zhou Zhi, Zhang Jing, who are relatively young and extremely familiar with Zhao Yu, their eyes are full of weirdness, and there is only one thought in their minds: This is Zhao Yu?

However, their suspicions were soon confirmed.

The dress designed by Xu Shu is a unique skirt, and the skirt also adopts the concept of the Sui and Tang dynasties, which is very long. If other girls wear it, there is naturally no problem, but Zhao Yu's temperament is really a bit ......

Not long after the ceremony, Zhao Yu may be too nervous, maybe too shy, maybe too excited, or maybe he can't stand the strange eyes of Wang Xu and so many people, in short, if he doesn't pay attention, he stepped on the skirt in front of him.

Seeing her screaming, her body leaned forward, and there were signs of falling. Wang Xu, who had been paying attention, reacted quickly, and hurriedly reached out to help, which should have been no problem. How do you know that Zhao Yu's temperament can't be controlled at all, so he reflexively takes a vertical leap, and then volleys in the air and steps on the table in front of him beautifully. And that table is the table that will be used to drink, eat meat, and salute together, and of course, the things placed on it are also trampled on......

At this moment, everyone present was stunned and looked at him in a daze, including Wang Xu.

Zhao Yu was not stupid, he soon knew that he was in trouble, and jumped off the table nervously, and quickly put the trampled things back in place, making his hands full of oil. Moreover, the silent atmosphere caused her great pressure, and in the panic, drop after drop of tears fell, and after a while, she suddenly squatted down with her face covered, her shoulders shaking, obviously crying.

This was something that everyone didn't expect, and everyone reacted quickly, but no one dared to speak, and they all looked at Wang Xu involuntarily. Even Guo Jia, who wanted to come forward to the round, didn't know what to say after opening his mouth.

This is a concubine in itself, and it is a very honor for Wang Xu to come according to high-standard etiquette. But what Zhao Yu did just now was wrong again and again, and it was extremely difficult for him to help redeem it. Although most of the people here know Zhao Yu's character, the current situation is completely beyond the acceptable range. No matter which move just now is an unlucky omen, whoever it is may angrily directly interrupt the wedding banquet and return the marriage, not to mention that the person concerned is the lord of Jingzhou, and he is still in front of hundreds of civil and military officials.

Zhao Yu and Zhao Feng were already pale, their lips trembling and speechless. The guests were silent one by one, Wang Yan, Wang Hao, Wang Qian and other elders had a lot of concerns, and they couldn't say anything, and the whole scene fell into silence, only Zhao Yu's helpless crying echoed in everyone's ears.

Xu Shu wanted to stand up, but in the current situation, she couldn't, as the wife of the lord of Jingzhou, in front of the military generals of Wenchen, the most suitable thing for her now was to be silent.

In fact, Wang Xu had already reacted, and he couldn't cry or laugh in his heart. Originally, he didn't care about these things, and Zhao Yu's temperament could be forgiven, but at this moment, in front of so many people, they were all staring at him with burning eyes, but they didn't know what to do. His current status is destined to maintain an inviolable majesty.

Just when it was difficult to ride a tiger, Zhou Zhi's head reacted the fastest, slapped his forehead suddenly, and broke the silence with a smile. "Oops! I said Sister Zhao Yu, what are you doing? If you want to marry the lord, you don't need to be in such a hurry! ”

"Boss, you can say something too! Sister Zhao Yu is in such a hurry, I see, it's better to save it, and go directly into the cave room. After speaking, he secretly pulled the corner of Zhang Jing's clothes.

Zhang Jing was not stupid, and hurriedly excused himself: "Yes, boss, my sister-in-law has always been straightforward, I'm afraid this move is too frictional if I'm not satisfied, so it's simple!" ”

The two sang and harmonized, which immediately made most of the people present laugh. The more old-fashioned Cai Yong and others, although they were not ashamed of this vulgar joke, they also understood the deep meaning, smiled, and remained silent.

Seeing this, Wang Xu finally breathed a sigh of relief, although he was a little vulgar, but he finally had a step down. immediately scolded with a hearty smile: "You two slippery heads, you just have no mouth!" Zhou Zhi, you guy is a scoundrel yourself, and you also teach Zhang Jing badly! ”

"Hey, hey!" Zhou Zhi winked at Wang Xu, and the thief smiled and took the black cauldron, but it was obvious in his eyes that he said: Boss, I carried the black cauldron, you can watch it afterwards!

Wang Xu pretended not to see it, and turned his head away with a smile. "Forget it, Xiaoyu, Xiaomin, clean up here."

"No!" The two didn't dare to hesitate and hurriedly stepped forward to clean up.

"Hahaha! Ladies and gentlemen, I hope you don't want to blame you, and when I send Yu'er back, I will come to drink with you again! ”

With Wang Xu's words, all the generals in the army were the first to respond, and they opened their mouths politely to quickly expose this matter.

Seeing this, Wang Xu also stayed for a long time, quickly stepped forward to pull up Zhao Yu, and hurried to the main courtyard. Wang Fei, Wang Kai and other family members quickly beckoned everyone to a banquet to relieve the embarrassment...... (To be continued.) )
