In the city of Shouchun, the heavy rain lingers, and the spring is beautiful. In the wing room on the second floor of Wangchun Building, Changmu Xiu wrapped his brocade fur and nested beside the charcoal fire, and his pale cheeks were reflected by the charcoal fire.

Ji Qing dragged the skirt of the Chinese dress and pushed the door in, and when she saw Changmu Xiu's sick and crooked appearance, she was angry and distressed: "Does that girl know that you were so seriously injured in order to save her?" ”

Whenever Xiao Qiao is mentioned, Changmu Xiu's handsome but overly shrewd face will show a bit of youthfulness in line with his age: "She knows that I am injured, but she doesn't know that every time it rains on a cloudy day, my left arm is like a waste." Sister don't tell her, I don't want Wan'er to feel guilty. ”

Not accustomed to his precocious and steady younger brother being so numb, Ji Qing pursed his lips, walked to the brazier, and drank two glasses of warm wine: "Don't talk as if you are going to marry her tomorrow, how are you doing with the affairs of the main bus generation?" ”

Nagasi Xiu smiled and raised the letterhead in his hand, and his expression became extremely thief again: "Don't worry, I'm dealing with this matter." In the past two days, the great beauty has to show General Sun Shao's face, and I should also help him, so that he can hold the beauty as soon as possible. ”

In the barracks outside the city, Han Dang looked at the boundless rain curtain, his heart became colder and colder, he rushed into the Chinese military tent, and said to Sun Ce: "Young General, although there are many people who have come to vote in the past few days, most of them are poor peasants. ”

Sun Ce sat beside the desk and wiped the silver gun, and did not raise his eyes: "General Han, don't worry, in a few days, there will definitely be people of insight who will come to me with chariots, horses and rice grain. ”

In the sound of heavy rain, Sun Ce's words were particularly untrue, and Han Dang was in a trance as if he was in a dream: "The young general said this, is it a success?" ”

"No, but my grandson Bofu is the proud son of heaven, and he must have heaven's help, so there is no need to worry about these things at all. General Han put his heart in his stomach and waited for good news. ”

Han Dang was dumbfounded when he heard this logic, but seeing Sun Ce's expression so relaxed, Han Dang also relaxed a little: "Yes, the old general's prestige still exists, and the young general has a forgiving strategy, so he can always attract people of insight......"

Sun Ce nodded casually, buried his head and continued to wipe the gun. It was extremely dark in the tent on a rainy day, but Han Dang still noticed the blue and black under Sun Ce's eyes, and he opened his mouth to probe: "I heard that in the past two days, Miss Da Qiao has been asking people to find carriages and horses, as if she is going to the front line to find General Qiao. Since the young general is the pride of the sky, he will not even be ...... his wife"

Han Dang's words undoubtedly hit Sun Ce's pain point, his eyes sank, he put down the silver gun, raised his eyes and said coldly: "You can take care of people for me, if something goes wrong, I will only ask you." ”

As expected, the two of them quarreled again. Obviously, it took a lot of effort to abandon the obstacles and have to stay with the other party, but now it is always awkward, which is really incomprehensible. Although Han Dang is a subordinate, he is also an elder, and he couldn't help but persuade: "Young General, how can a woman not be capricious, Miss Da Qiao is already virtuous enough, and the young general should let her a little, if you really annoy her, it will be uncomfortable and deflated, and you will ...... it."

Han Dang didn't know about Sun Ce's alliance with Cao Cao, so he naturally wouldn't understand why Da Qiao was angry with Sun Ce. Listening to this endless exhortation, Sun Ce became even more annoyed: "General Han, as a captain, you command most of the men under my command, so why don't you think more about how to generalize the soldiers, why do you keep an eye on my family affairs every day?" If you don't want to do it, just say something, I'll let people set up a shop for you in Shouchun City, so that you can take care of the media and pull the fiber, and then talk about it! ”

Han Dang joined the army, he was under Sun Jian, and he was regarded as a retainer of the Sun family. On weekdays, Sun Ce is open-minded and uninhibited, and their veterans are a little dependent on the old and selling the old, but today seeing that he was really angry, Han Dang didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly knelt down to apologize: "The last general knows his mistake, and he shouldn't talk about the privacy of the young general, so now he will go to inspect the barracks." After that, Han Dang respectfully retreated.

Waiting for himself to be the only one left in the tent, Sun Ce wiped his handsome face, held his forehead in a daze, and couldn't help but ask in the voice of Da Qiao in his head. Yesterday was really a bit of a back, talking to Changmu Xiu happened to be bumped into by Da Qiao, Qiao Rui was fighting Cao on the front line, nine deaths, she couldn't forgive Sun Ce for forming an alliance with Cao Cao. Afterwards, no matter how Sun Ce explained it, Da Qiao only asked, "How important are my lives and my father's lives to you?" Is it worth more than the 2,000 soldiers under your command? ”

On weekdays, Sun Ce doesn't know how much he loves Da Qiao's intelligence, but now he only hates why she can't be stupid and leave everything to him. If it continues like this, Da Qiao will leave him sooner or later because he is worried about Qiao Rui, but for no reason, how can Sun Ce make Da Qiao believe that he will be able to protect their father and daughter?

When he was in Wu County, he was obviously able to charm thousands of girls with every move, and he was at ease, but here in Da Qiao, he continued to be deflated, and Sun Ce was beaten up and annoyed.

But if he accepts his fate so easily, he is not Sun Bofu, and he has no chance to show his loyalty, so he can always create opportunities, right? No matter what, you have to stabilize the person first, thinking of this, Sun Ce stood up suddenly, rushed out of the tent and ordered: "Come on!" Go and call Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai to me! ”

Outside Wanling City, a horse-drawn carriage sped along a path through the jungle. The servant drove, Zhou Yu sat in the carriage, repeatedly looking at the map in his hand, Xiao Qiao An sat beside Zhou Yu, a smart little face was stunned at this moment, and her mind kept echoing Zhou Yu's aunt's words: "Little Qiao girl, the old woman sees that you are interested in my nephew, and I really don't hide it, the old woman thinks that my nephew also likes you......"

Yesterday, after listening to the old lady's words, Xiao Qiao's face turned red, his heartbeat accelerated to the point of being unbearable, and he couldn't listen to a word anymore, and he was asking himself all day long: Zhou Gongjin is also interested in me? Really?

Zhou Yu looked at the map, had doubts in his heart, raised his eyes and asked, "Little Miss Qiao, when you were young, ...... Little Joe girl? ”

Xiao Qiao came back to his senses at this time, but he didn't dare to look at Zhou Yu: "Ah, what's wrong?" ”

Zhou Yu saw that Xiao Qiao's face was flushed, and asked worriedly: "I see that your face is a little strange, is there something uncomfortable?" ”

Xiao Qiao was extremely uncomfortable, and lowered his head and said, "It's just that I didn't sleep well last night, so I don't care." ”

"If the bedding is uncomfortable, the girl can let the next person change it, she shouldn't be so polite and let herself be so aggrieved."

"No, no, no, the futon is very comfortable, it's my own problem", the more concerned Zhou Yu was, the more shy Xiao Qiao became, and hurriedly changed the topic, "What do you want to ask me?" ”

Zhou Yu sighed deeply, and stopped talking: "I only thought about investigating the events of the year, but I ignored your feelings...... You should be scared to revisit, if you can't hold on, feel free to tell me, I won't force you. ”

Zhou Yu's gentle consideration of her mind touched Xiao Qiao, and she whispered: "With you, I'm not afraid." ”

Zhou Yu didn't know what kind of courage was behind Xiao Qiao's words, so she just patted her little brain like an elder.

The air around her seemed to stop, Xiao Qiao could only hear her own heartbeat, she looked at Zhou Yu's peerlessly handsome face, and her expression became more and more confused: Where did Old Madam Zhou see that Zhou Yu was interested in her? No matter how she looks at it, she thinks that he treats herself nothing special.

After driving for more than half a day, the two finally came to Huashan in the south of Danyang County, which is not high, and the mountain is not steep, so it does not look like a place where Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon looks. Zhou Yu took Xiao Qiao out of the carriage and instructed the two servants: "You two wait here, be vigilant, if I have anything, I will warn with arrows." ”

The two little guys said yes and handed over the climbing tools, Zhou Yu didn't delay any longer, and walked along the forest path to the mountain with Xiao Qiao.

In the late spring of March, the spring scenery is extremely beautiful, and the flowers pave the way, Xiao Qiao saw this scene, instantly forgot his troubles, jumped and jumped, and was happy. Zhou Yu said, "Slow down, slow down", but the corners of his mouth were full of a light smile.

Two figures, one tall and one short, flutter on the ramp, blending into the picturesque spring scene, which is particularly pleasing to the eye. Who knew that when they reached the top of the mountain, the wind and clouds suddenly changed, and the black clouds came out to cover the sky and the sun, and there was inexplicable wind under the feet. Zhou Yu bent over to investigate, and suddenly heard Xiao Qiao screaming, and when he turned around, the cold wind was as old as before, but Xiao Qiao was nowhere to be found.

Zhou Yu only felt that his heartbeat missed a beat, and shouted: "Little Qiao girl! Little Joe girl! ”

The wind blew the rustling of grass, and it seemed like a lifetime for a moment, and finally, Xiao Qiao's groan faintly came: "Zhou Lang...... I...... I'm here! ”

Zhou Yu held her breath and followed her weak voice, only to see a small crack in the haystack a few feet away, the hole was extremely narrow, and it could only accommodate a thin girl like Xiao Qiao. Zhou Yu bent down and squatted down and said anxiously: "Little Miss Qiao, are you okay?" ”

The hole was extremely dark, Xiao Qiao couldn't see anything, only felt a gust of cold wind from under her feet, as if she was going to blow herself away, she was shocked and scared, mixed with a little grievance, and couldn't help crying in her tone: "I, I'm so scared ......"

Zhou Yu didn't know the situation in the cave, but he was afraid that if he delayed like this, Xiao Qiao would suffocate to death, he didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, pulled out his sword, riveted all his strength, and smashed the soil and stones at the entrance of the cave.

Little Qiao, who was curled up, heard the movement and opened her eyes, only to see the round light and shadow at the entrance of the cave as far away as the sun, she moved her body, and then noticed that she had broken her leg when she fell. This hole is so deep, and her legs and feet are inconvenient, so it is difficult to climb up no matter what, so she wanted to say that Zhou Yu called the family to come to the rescue, but saw that the entrance of the cave suddenly darkened, and Zhou Yu fell from the sky and jumped steadily to her side.

"Are you okay?" After Zhou Yu stood firmly, he immediately stepped forward to check the injury for Xiao Qiao, and saw that her legs were seriously scratched and she couldn't walk alone, so she turned her back: "Come, I'll carry you." ”

"You carry me?" Although Zhou Yu also carried her in the past, this time is different from the past, and Xiao Qiao is particularly timid.

"There is a wind blowing from this place, and there should be another exit. The cave was dim, and the ground was full of gravel, so don't aggravate the girl's injuries and offend them. ”

As he spoke, Zhou Yu pulled Xiao Qiao and asked her to wrap her around her neck, then bent over and flicked her wide sleeves, so that the white sleeves completely covered her hands, and then passed through the inside of Xiao Qiao's knee bone: "Can you sit tight?" ”

Xiao Qiaoben was very shy, and when he saw Zhou Yu's hands wrapped in sleeves and opened, like Dapeng spreading his wings, he felt a little funny: "Sit tight." ”

Hearing this, Zhou Yu began to walk slowly in the cave. After adapting to the darkness, the two looked around, only to see that this cave was far bigger than imagined, countless stalactites hung upside down from the dome, the two were standing on a place shaped like a high platform, around the high platform, it was actually a heavy moat, more than a hundred feet deep, the black bottomless, only a huge stalactite flying frame in front of it, it seemed to be a passage, but where did the boulder end? Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao are unknown.

Such strange and strange places could have been formed naturally? The feeling of doubt came to Zhou Yu's mind, but before he could clear his thoughts, he heard Xiao Qiao exclaim: "Look here!" ”

As soon as Zhou Yu turned around, he was suddenly frightened by what he saw in front of him, only to see a huge stone tripod standing behind the two of them, hollowed out on all sides, and eight stone dragons were carved in eight directions, with jade beads in the dragon's mouth, with different shapes and lifelike.

Zhou Yu carried Xiao Qiao around the tripod to take a closer look, but looked at the huge strange patterns carved on the stone wall behind the ding, like ancient inscriptions, and like pictographic murals, which was spectacular.

This immortal cave should have been deliberately built by someone, and the financial and material resources consumed must not be done by tens of thousands of gold and thousands of craftsmen. Zhou Yu gently rubbed Shi Ding's body with his hand, his fingertips were stained with a thick layer of stalactite powder, and he had a rough calculation in his heart, and estimated that it would not take more than ten years to build here. But who is it and why did the people build such a huge altar in this barren mountain range? And why was it abolished? What does this have to do with Xiao Qiao's plunder? One huge mystery after another pressed on Zhou Yu's heart like a jack of weight, unable to be solved.

The visions in front of her frightened Xiao Qiao, she shrank behind Zhou Yu, her small body clinging to the only warmth in the endless darkness. Zhou Yu was frowning and thinking, but suddenly felt a soft patch behind him, he was stunned for a moment, his cheeks immediately burst red, and he put Xiao Qiao down with his stiff hands, and choked: "I...... Let's hug you. ”

Xiao Qiao was so frightened that she didn't know how to be ashamed, and when Zhou Yu turned to her, she wrapped her arms firmly around his neck.

At the same time, a huge black shadow suddenly cast on the wall behind them, and the two of them, who noticed the abnormality, turned around sharply, but saw that there was nothing else.

"There's... Something's coming this way... It's a big thing..."Although he didn't see the real thing, Xiao Qiao instinctively felt the treacherous aura, and the arms around Zhou Yu also subconsciously clamped tighter. Zhou Yu couldn't help but feel pain, and with a "hiss", Xiao Qiao realized that he had exerted too much force, and hurriedly let go, his little head shook like a rattle: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to......"

Zhou Yu smiled at her, but his right hand quietly pulled out the saber at his waist, this place should not stay for a long time, Zhou Yu was paying attention to the abnormal movements, and was anxious to find a way out. Suddenly, a cool liquid suddenly fell on the back of his neck, Zhou Yu looked up suddenly, only to see a giant python, salivating from behind Shi Ding, sticking out its head, roaring and opening its huge jaws, revealing four fangs longer than a sword, and swooped towards Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao with lightning speed.
