In the rippling Chaohu Lake, the hibiscus is full of canals, Xiao Qiao takes off his embroidered shoes and sits on the wooden bridge in the backyard to tread water. The apricot eyes reflect the lake, clear as glass, and the beautiful scenery in front of him is refreshing, but Xiao Qiao is absent-minded, only thinking about breakfast, Zhou Yu has been chatting with Sun Ce, and has not said a word to himself.

The longer we know each other, the more we have shared experiences, and the farther away we are from him. Maybe Sun Ce is right, he and Zhou Yu are not the same kind of people, so naturally they can't win his blue eyes. The deceased wife he misses in his heart is the daughter of Situ in the court, a famous lady, and she is extraordinary. And she is just a little girl who grew up in the countryside, and she has read all kinds of military books since she was a child, and she is neither good at embroidery nor good at female red, but her stone-throwing kung fu is much more accurate than others.

Thinking of this, Xiao Qiao flicked his sleeves, and a small pebble swung out a string of blisters on the clear lake, and silently sank to the bottom of the lake.

"Wow, that's amazing", Sun Quan didn't know where to get out, and let out this heartfelt sigh.

Xiao Qiao didn't look back, and said angrily: "What are you doing here?" ”

Sun Quan squatted beside Xiao Qiao, Danfeng's eyes crooked: "You are bored and I am not interesting, why don't we go to the back mountain to catch fish together?" There's a shallow pond over there, and there's a lot of fish in it......"

"I'm not a kid, I'm not going."

As if guessing that Xiao Qiao would refuse, Sun Quan chuckled and excited: "Sun still thinks that Xiao Qiao is a heroine among women, and she is very courageous, but she doesn't even dare to touch the fish?" ”

Xiao Qiao stood up and patted the placket of her clothes, crossed her waist and looked up at Sun Quan, who was half a head taller than her: "I said, are you surnamed Sun so annoying?" I'm scared if I don't go with you? ”

"Anyway, you're fine, and you're idle, if you're not afraid, why don't you go?"

That's true, instead of sitting and sulking, you might as well go out and have fun. Xiao Qiao glanced at Sun Quan, waved at him, and strode out the door.

In the main hall of Lu Su's mansion, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu sat side by side. For the convenience of speaking, Lu Su dismissed his subordinates and personally made tea for the two.

Zhou Yu avoided the table and got up: "Brother Zijing doesn't have to be so polite, Bo Fu and I came to you this time to discuss something with you." ”

Lu Su didn't know how to do these jobs, and he was burned by the copper kettle if he wasn't careful, he threw down the pot in annoyance, scratched his head and smiled: "Drink some water, stay here to eat at noon, I'll let the dining room prepare some good dishes." Major General, I have heard about your siege of Shucheng, be really benevolent and righteous, and Lu will be respectful. ”

Sun Ce looked helpless and sighed: "Lu Kang's old man is very stubborn, he actually stood on the head of the city with the Han Festival given by the Spirit Emperor, I really had no choice but to besiege the city, who knew that he had the name of virtue......

Lu Su raised his hand and smoothed his long beard: "You care about the people of Shucheng, how can you say that you are not virtuous?" But I didn't expect that Yuan Shu didn't urge you to attack the city? ”

"This matter, Bo Fu and I are also novel", Zhou Yu and Sun Ce looked at each other and smiled, "But I think Bo Fu is the eldest son of General Sun, Yuan Shu must be a little jealous, and I would rather him garrison in Shucheng than let him stay on the near side." ”

Lu Su couldn't help but bow his head, and thought it was true: "This is not bad, but Yuan Shu is now dividing his troops into two ways, and the main force is attacking Xuzhou, the battle line is lengthy, and he is greatly hindered, and the supply of grain and grass will definitely become a big problem." It's fine in summer, but if it snows in winter, there is a shortage of food and grass, and the road is difficult, but it will be troublesome. ”

"That's why the two of us came to look for you, Brother Zijing", Sun Ce thief smiled and took Lu Su's shoulder, "You are a heroic squire, if you run out of grain and grass, I will have to ask you and Gongjin for it." ”

Lu Su brushed his beard and laughed: "It's been a long time, you brothers are here to calculate me...... Don't worry! As long as I have a bite of food, Lu Zijing, I won't be short of your military rations! ”

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu couldn't help but be overjoyed. Lu Su turned to Zhou Yu: "By the way, Gongjin, what do you get by going to the mountain?" ”

"But you asked me, I was looking for your help. Brother Zijing, I want the county records of all the counties under the jurisdiction of Lujiang eight years ago. ”

"Oh?" Lu Su's eyes lit up, "It seems that there are clues, it is not difficult to get the county chronicle, but you have to give me a few days to ......"

"Three days, within three days, Brother Lao Lu will be sent to my house."

Lu Su stared at Zhou Yu and laughed: "You kid, am I the servant of your house?" ”

The housekeeper suddenly knocked on the carved wooden door: "Lang Jun, the dumb man in the Zhou Mansion is here, and he looks very anxious, as if something big has happened......

Zhou Yu hurriedly got up and walked out of the hall, seeing that the dumb child's face was red and sweating profusely, Zhou Yu asked anxiously, "What's wrong?" Could it be that Aunt Zhou ...... she?"

The dumb child shook his head, clenched his two small hands above his head, and looked at Zhou Yu steadily, as if expecting him to guess what he meant quickly. Sun Ce stepped forward and slapped his palm: "Your cow, something happened to the cow, right?" ”

The dumb child couldn't help but roll his eyes, put down his fists, patted his little face, and blinked with a pair of big eyes. Xiao Qiao's smiling appearance suddenly appeared, Zhou Yu's face turned pale, and he said hurriedly: "Is it Xiao Qiao's girl who has an accident?" ”

The shallow pool in the back mountain is clear and empty, but there are rapids and whirlpools in the middle. At noon, Sun Quan and Xiao Qiao were fishing here and accidentally got involved in the torrent. Zhou Tai, the mute and Sun Ce's personal guard, accompanied him around, and when he saw the two drowning, Zhou Tai, a nine-foot-tall man, tried his best to drag Sun Quan out, but he couldn't reach Xiao Qiao.

Seeing this, the dumb child flew into the old house of Lusu more than ten zhang away, looking for Zhou Yu's help. When Zhou Yu arrived at the edge of the shallow pool, Xiao Qiao's main horn had been completely submerged in the pool.

Zhou Yu untied his clothes, handed one end to Zhou Tai, held the other end in his hand, and jumped into the shallow pool without saying a word. Sun Ce was so frightened that the three souls couldn't see the seven spirits, and shouted: "Gong Jin! ”

After only three or two steps, the water in the pool that was not knee-deep suddenly deepened, Zhou Yu held his breath and plunged into the water, slowly opened his eyes, looking for Xiao Qiao's figure.

Before drowning, Xiao Qiao took a deep breath, tried his best but couldn't float, his slender body carried mud and sand, and couldn't help rolling into the whirlpool. The breath in his mouth could no longer be contained, a string of blisters spit out between Sakura's lips, Xiao Qiao's body stiffened, and he suddenly lost consciousness, and a moment before he fell into a coma, it seemed to see Zhou Yu's handsome face appear in front of him, I don't know if it was real or hallucination.

On the grassy shore, Zhou Tai tightly tugged at the long belt. Obviously, the water is clear, but Zhou Yu can't see his figure, as if after entering the water, he sank into another space. As the time of entering the water became longer, Sun Ce became more and more restless, and paced anxiously on the shore.

The rope in Zhou Tai's hand trembled slightly, he hurriedly tightened his hand tighter, who knew that the rope suddenly lost weight, Zhou Tai staggered a few steps, and actually fell hard. Sun Ce hurriedly stepped forward and pulled the rope up from the water, but saw that the blue water was long, and the other end of the rope was empty, but Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao were still nowhere to be seen.
