Chapter 10: Going Deep (2)
When Lu Meng sent Mrs. Wu Jing and her party back to the house, Huang Gai and Cheng Pu had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Mrs. Wu, the two veterans who were close to being confused were very excited, and quickly stepped forward and saluted: "Madam! ”
Since the death of Sun Jian, Mrs. Wu has been devout to the Buddha and has already looked down on everything, but at this time, she couldn't help but burst into tears when she saw the two of them: "Public repetition, morality, I haven't seen you for many years......"
Cheng Pu burst into tears, kowtowed and refused to get up: "If it weren't for General Sun, Demou would have been dead long ago. ”
When the old people met, they were full of joy and tears, but this place was not a good place to relate to the past, Wu Jing was busy and said: "Public repetition, morality, there are many people outside, and we are talking in the house." ”
Seeing this, Lu Meng saluted everyone and bowed to say goodbye. Huang Gai Chengpu followed Mrs. Wu Jingwu into the mansion.
Before everyone entered the hall, Cheng Pu asked anxiously, "Who is that kid just now?" Can it still be reliable? ”
Huang Gai smiled and was relieved: "Don't doubt anyone when you see it, I have seen that child, he came with Gongjin." ”
This name is very familiar, but it is difficult to find it in his mind, Cheng Pu had to ask again: "Who is Gongjin?" ”
"It's Zhou Yu, the son of Zhou Yi of Luoyang Ling, who has always been good friends with our young general, and was born extremely beautiful, you saw him five years ago, but you forgot?" Huang Gai mentioned Zhou Yu and was full of praise.
The suspicion on Cheng Pu's face did not ease in the slightest, but became more and more solemn. Mrs. Wu opened the door, walked into the hall, knelt in front of the Buddha statue and bowed three times before getting up and asking, "The two generals came out like this, will Yuan Shu be to blame?" ”
Cheng Pu eased his expression and replied: "Cao Cao led an army of 300,000 to call, Yuan Benchu and his ministers will definitely be worried about this, where do they have time to take care of us." ”
Wu Jing sighed: "I haven't told my sister before, I'm afraid that my sister will feel uncomfortable listening to it." After the death of his brother-in-law, Gong Fu and Demou were in an awkward position in Yuan Shu's army, and they were often excluded, and now they have been reduced to unpopular gatekeepers. ”
Cheng Pu didn't feel sad, and said happily: "So I and Gong Fu came to meet Mrs., and then to meet the young general, both of us are willing to belong to the young general, and let him send us, even if we are a horse feeding pawn, we are willing!" ”
Huang Gai also bowed his hand with Cheng Pu: "I've been looking forward to it for so many years, and I'm finally looking forward to the young general!" If the young general thinks that I am still useful, Huang will never give up! ”
Mrs. Wu smiled and said with tears: "I thank you two uncles on behalf of Bofu, but after the banquet ended, he went to find Gongjin Zhongmou and Shang Xiang, and did not come back with us." ”
Wu Jing poured tea and water for everyone, and put on a shawl for Mrs. Wu: "Take advantage of this moment, we might as well discuss how to let Yuan Shu return the group of people and horses from his brother-in-law back then to Bo Fu." ”
Cheng Pu happened to be thirsty, so he picked up the teacup and drank it all: "There is no soldier under the two of us, Yuan Shudang will not care." But those who followed General Sun back then, in addition to me and Gong Fu, there were also Han Dang and Zhu Zhi, who are now both captains and lead 1,000 people. In addition to this, there are two cousins of the major general, Boyang and Guoyi. Boyang is already the captain of Danyang, leading 5,000 troops. Although Guoyi was a captain, he also led 2,000 soldiers and horses. Coupled with General Wu's subordinates, roughly calculated, although there are many fewer than when General Sun was alive, there are more than 10,000 people. ”
The wind and the waning moon, the candles in the west window are dazzling. Huang Gai sighed: "Yuan Shu is narrow-minded and suspicious by nature, if he asks directly, not only will he not be able to get his wish, but he may also cause trouble to the young general. How we should be put under the command of the major general in a logical way needs to be considered in the long run. ”
The two cousins of Sun Ce mentioned by Cheng Pu are Sun Ben and Sun Fu, these two are the sons of Sun Jian's half-brother Sun Qiang, who followed Sun Jian to fight in the south and north at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and is still a general in Yuan Shu's army.
Mrs. Wu responded: "I know about Ben'er and Fu'er, after Wentai died, the two brothers were separated by Yuan Shu, and they all wanted to get together together." This matter really needs to be considered in the long run, and the top priority at the moment is to think of a way to get the two of you and the two generals Han and Zhu over. ”
Under the corridor of the mansion, Sun Shangxiang hid behind Xiao Qiao, and her small body couldn't help shaking. Sun Quan and Zhou Yuben went to change clothes together, and when they heard a sound halfway, they hurriedly turned back and asked urgently, "Shang Xiang, are you okay?" ”
Sun Shangxiang cried loudly and threw herself into Sun Quan's arms: "There are a lot of crows just now, and they stabbed us inexplicably, thanks to this little brother, he threw out a bunch of stones, and those crows ran away!" ”
Xiao Qiao was a little embarrassed to see Sun Shangxiang mistaking himself for a boy in front of Zhou Yu, and said, "I'm a woman......"
"Wow", Sun Shangxiang exclaimed again, "Then when you grow up, will you be as good-looking as that big beauty?" ”
Sun Shangxiang's temperament is really cute, Xiao Qiao can't afford to be angry with her at all, and said with a smile: "Maybe, but I may also follow my father ......"
Sun Quan bent over: "Zhong Mou, as a brother, thank you Miss Xiao Qiao for saving her sister." ”
"You brothers and sisters are much cuter than the blind stream," Xiao Qiao Wan'er smiled, but his eyes stopped on Zhou Yu who was approaching.
Although he knew that it was inappropriate, he was still relieved, Zhou Yu bowed to Xiao Qiao, and said hoarsely: "The villain is a Hun and knows some Hun medicine, if the girl doesn't dislike it, you might as well let the villain treat you one or two." ”
There are only a few of them here, and Zhou Yu still calls himself a Huns, making it clear that he is guarding against himself. Thinking of this, Xiao Qiao flicked his sleeves, and a flying stone suddenly came out and flew straight towards the copper lock on Zhou Yu's iron face. With a loud sound of "bang", the copper lock was still immovable, Zhou Yu's eyes were dark, and his tone was helpless: "Why bother the girl." ”
Xiao Qiao snorted, but his smile was very bitter: "It's nothing, I just want to see if you are the same as your lord, your skin is thicker than the city wall." ”
Sun Ce and Da Qiao came together, but before anyone arrived, the voice started: "Who is saying bad things about me while I'm not there?" ”
Sun Shangxiang followed the prestige and was excited when he saw Sun Ce and Da Qiao. She jumped forward, wrapped her arms firmly around Sun Ce's neck, and asked in a loud voice in his ear, "Why did my brother come with the great beauty?" Are you secretly getting along? ”
Sun Ce caught Sun Shangxiang steadily, and was so noisy that her ears rang: "What else, if I hadn't heard you screaming, how could I have rushed over in a hurry?" Who the hell stepped on my sister's tail again? ”
Sun Shangxiang was amused by Sun Ce and giggled, Sun Quan hurriedly came up and took her away: "Brother is fighting today, he must be tired, don't keep making trouble." ”
"Zhongmou, I just saw a few blackbirds flying outside the courtyard in the night, are you injured?" After Sun Ce and Zhou Yu exchanged glances, he opened his mouth to ask Sun Quandao.
Sun Quan shook his head: "I went to change clothes with Wu Luolan, and Miss Xiao Qiao and Shang Xiang were attacked, but neither of them were injured, which is a great luck." ”
Da Qiao walked to Xiao Qiao's side and said with concern: "You still have injuries on your body, are you okay?" ”
Xiao Qiao stuck out his tongue and smiled: "Sister, don't worry, Miss Sun is fine." ”
Sun Ce didn't appreciate it, his expression changed, and he said coldly: "In the middle of the night, where did this bird come from?" It was in Tangshan before, and then it was by Chaohu Lake, and now it is actually chased here. Are these birds following you all the time? Even my little sister was almost attacked tonight, if you don't make it clear, don't blame me for being polite. ”
Xiao Qiao was stunned for a moment, and immediately became angry after reacting: "What do you mean by this?" Did I deliberately recruit birds to attack your sister? ”
Tonight, after learning about the jade seal of the country, the death of his father is inseparable from Yuan Shu, and now he is haunted by strange birds, Sun Ce is already extremely afraid, and he is afraid that Sun Quan or Sun Shangxiang will miss something, and he said angrily: "Whether it is Tangshan or the shore of Chaohu Lake, strange birds are here for you and listen to your command." Why did you attack my sister if you had not instructed me? ”
Sun Ce's voice fell, and Da Qiao stepped forward and reprimanded: "You claim to be a hero in the world, but you know that you can't speculate in case of trouble!" On the shore of Chaohu Lake that day, it was that group of strange birds that attacked my sister! ”
There are too many doubts about the flying birds, hearing Da Qiao's words, Zhou Yu realized: it turned out that Xiao Qiao's injury outside Chaohu Lake was not caused by arrows, but was pecked by strange birds, no wonder this wound was repeatedly difficult to heal, I am afraid that there is animal poison.
Sun Shangxiang's little head shook like a rattle: "Brother is really strange to the wrong person, just now those ugly birds flew in, all the mess, Sister Xiao Qiao has been protecting me!" ”
After listening to Da Qiao and Sun Shangxiang's words, Sun Ce regretted being impulsive, but he didn't know how to end it, staring at his waist and puffing out his cheeks, very embarrassed.
Sun Quan stepped forward and said gently: "My brother's concern is chaotic, but there is something negligent, so I will make amends on behalf of my brother and ask the two girls to dissipate their anger." ”
Xiao Qiao couldn't listen to Sun Quan's words at this time, and felt extremely cold in her heart: it turned out that no matter what happened, she was the object of speculation and suspicion, even if she was pecked and injured in several places around her body in order to protect Sun Shangxiang. Xiao Qiao looked at Sun Ce, then at Zhou Yu, sneered, and turned around to leave. Who knew that before she took a few steps, her thin arm was grabbed, she looked back, and saw that the person who came was Zhou Yu, under the iron armor in the dark night, his expression was difficult to see, but his tone was surprisingly sonorous: "The girl is injured, and let me check your pulse." ”
If you are wary of suspicion, why should you pretend to care? Xiao Qiao shook off Zhou Yu's hand, and said coldly in a trembling voice: "I have a special physique, and only Zhou Gongjin, the county commander of Juchao County, can diagnose it...... It's a pity that he wasn't here. ”
After speaking, Xiao Qiao didn't stop for a moment, got up and walked away. Da Qiao glanced at Sun Ce, there was a grudge in his eyes, he turned around a thousand times, and then left with Xiao Qiao.
