Chapter 36: No Colorful Phoenix (1)

The remnant sun shines on the flower dock Pingting, the smoke and waves of Baili Chaohu Lake are vast, the wild shore is unguarded, and a few light boats are swaying. In the old mansion by the lake, the tea smoke floated from the dark window, the books were scattered, Lu Su went back to the house, Xiao Qiao was also tired, leaning on the couch, sleeping very sweetly.

Zhou Yu took out the scroll in Xiao Qiao's hand, hugged her to the couch, and whispered, "After all, I am still a child, so I ...... sleep."

In the warm dusk, Xiao Qiao's sleeping face was extremely well-behaved, with big eyes closed and long eyelashes trembling slightly. Zhou Yu was stunned for a while, leaning over and not moving for a long time. The turbulent times are like this, the surrounding realms are scorched earth, and everything in hand is even more intricate and complicated, and it is difficult to sort it out. But for some reason, seeing this tranquil sleeping face, all the troubles disappeared in an instant, and there was only peace left in my heart.

Who knew that just when he was stunned, little Qiao Qier woke up, opened his eyes, and looked at each other, both of them were startled. Zhou Yu flicked his wide sleeves, got up and said lightly: "Zhou didn't mean to be abrupt, but he was stunned for a moment when he saw that you slept soundly, and asked Miss Xiao Qiao to forgive him." ”

"It's okay, it's okay", Xiao Qiao jumped out of the house with a red face, "It's not early, I should go back to the room too......"

After speaking, Xiao Qiao ran out of the main hall, and the sound of soft footsteps faded away. Zhou Yu felt out of shape, laughed at himself, picked up the scroll, and wanted to read the unfinished part.

Clinker Daqiao suddenly came, knocked on the door and called: "Zhou Gongzi ......"

Zhou Yu arched his hand and said: "Miss Da Qiao, please come in, I don't know if the girl came in person, what are the instructions?" ”

Suddenly, the west wind blew two or three points of rain, Da Qiao's skirt was flying, his eyes were lowered, and he asked lightly: "Zhou Gongzi, do you have any news of Sun Lang......

Since the day Sun Ce returned to Shucheng, he has been gone for four or five days, and there has not been a word coming. Da Qiao's heart is up and down, and he is always uneasy. After all, when they were in Luyang before, the two would send messages every other day, and now there is no news, which really makes her anxious.

Zhou Yu understood that Da Qiao was gentle and shy, if he wasn't too worried, he wouldn't come to ask himself, so he quietly relieved: "Bo Fu only reported peace to someone, and did not pass on the message, thinking that it must be because he is busy with military affairs, and he has no time to take care of it...... Miss Da Qiao doesn't have to worry, although Bo Fu seems to be unruly, she actually has a plan in her heart. Miss Da Qiao and Ling Mei can live with peace of mind, I believe that the period when Ling Zun returns to the victory and the time when Bo Fu breaks the city are just around the corner. ”

Hearing Zhou Yu's words, Da Qiao Dengshi was a little relieved, and said with a smile in his heart: "As long as he is safe and sound...... The son was troubled, and the little woman didn't dare to bother and retired. ”

After speaking, Da Qiao turned around and walked away, his clothes fluttering in the wind, and slowly disappeared in front of him. Zhou Yu sighed too much, and pulled out the letter from Shu Cheng that he had just received today, and he felt bad in his heart. The grievances and entanglements in the previous life will eventually affect Sun Ce and Da Qiao. Although it has not yet been ascertained what Qiao Rui and Sun Jian's death have to do with it, Sun Ce still doesn't know what to eat, he can't sleep at night, and he doesn't know what kind of mentality to face Da Qiao.

If they can get through this hurdle, the relationship between the two of them will be more certain. But if Qiao Rui was really involved in Sun Jian's assassination, Sun Ce's temperament would not let him go easily. Thinking of this, in addition to worrying about Sun Ce and Da Qiao, Zhou Yu also felt a little sorry for Xiao Qiao. It's useless to say more, only by finding out what happened back then can we uncover the truth as soon as possible.

Zhou Yu calmed down, looked through the scrolls sent by Cha Lu Su, and unconsciously read them all night, and between these dense hundreds of thousands of words, some useful information finally emerged: Seven years ago, the county commander of Xiuning County led troops into Baiyue to suppress bandits and rescued a total of seven or eight boys and girls.

This seems to be very consistent with Xiao Qiao's memories and Changmu Xiu's words, Zhou Yu closed the scroll and was stunned for a while. It seems that Xiao Qiao's abduction at a young age has nothing to do with this matter, and Da Qiao's departure to pass the message and Sun Ce's ambush seem to show that Qiao Rui is indeed inseparable from what happened five years ago, and the real murderer behind the scenes has not stopped, and has already aimed the sword in his hand at Sun Ce's back heart.

Could it be that Qiao Rui was really jealous of Sun Jian and teamed up with Huang Zu to kill him? Who is behind this? Did Yuan Shu know? Or is it that Yuan Shu was jealous of Sun Jiangong's high shock, and instructed Qiao Rui to do it?

The breeze was slightly cool, and Zhou Yu shuddered. If this is the case, what does Yuan Shu mean by ordering Sun Ce to besiege Shucheng now, is it that "the praying mantis catches cicadas and yellow finches are behind"? If the real culprit behind the scenes is not Yuan Shu, what is his purpose? How did he grasp the whereabouts of Sun Ce and the others?

The oblique light reaches dawn, piercing through the battalion of the blowing horn company. Sun Ce, like Zhou Yu, also stayed up all night, he was in charge at the beginning of spring this year, and it was only five months by this time, and he only wanted to get back his father's old ministry and avenge his father, but he did not think deeply about what to do next.

Now, he had to plan in every way to keep himself from falling under the calculations of others. After all, as the eldest son in the family, his mother and younger brothers and sisters all have to rely on him, Sun Ce sighed, he was unbearable, he understood why his mother opposed his marriage with Da Qiao, but he didn't understand why she didn't hand over his father's legacy to him earlier, so that he was defenseless against Qiao Rui, and unconsciously handed over his whole heart to Qiao Rui's eldest daughter. If you want to forget Da Qiao, you are afraid that you have to cut your heart, Da Qiao's stunning face came to mind, Sun Ce was heartbroken, and he didn't know how to give her up.

Sun Quan suddenly opened the curtain and called, "Brother......"

Sun Ce hurriedly pretended to be fine, and joked aggressively: "Stinky boy, why did you enter the door without reporting?" ”

Sun Quan stepped forward, sat beside Sun Ce, and stared at his eyes: "Brother hasn't slept all night?" The eyes were red. ”

Sun Ce poked Sun Quan's head: "Stinky boy is a fart, did your mother ask you to come?" ”

The elder brother, who was very flying on weekdays, looked quite haggard, Sun Quan was distressed, and muttered: "Brother, this manuscript has been in the hands of his cousin Sun Ben before, and he only found an opportunity a few days ago to send it to Wu County to his mother...... Brother, anyway, my mother is worried about you, so I have to come and see ......."

"I'm fine", Sun Ce directly interrupted Sun Quan's words, "You monk Xiang comforts your mother, don't let her be too anxious." ”

"Report! Major General! General Han Dang asks to see! ”

Suddenly there was a voice of notification outside the tent, and Sun Ce said in a deep voice: "Please!" ”

Before the words fell, Han Dang hurriedly walked into the account, sweating profusely and said: "Major General, the latest batch of military rations and supplies should have been delivered yesterday afternoon, but there is no news until now......

"What?" Sun Ce Huoran stood up, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Have you gone to Jiagu, where the accident happened before? ”

"I've seen it, and there's nothing in the valley...... It rained yesterday morning, and if a big car passed by, it would have left ruts. ”

It was really a wave of unsettled waves, Sun Ce didn't have the heart to think about anything else, and threw down the sentence "Zhongmou, you stay in the camp well, you are not allowed to go anywhere", and quickly flew out of the tent, turned over and got on the horse, and disappeared in a flash in a flash of light.
