Chapter 6: The Stratagem of Jiangdu (2)
Outside the woods, Amon rubbed his sleepy eyes and yawned and shed two lines of tears. Zhou Yu walked out of the forest, and looked at Amon with a pair of hazy teary eyes, and was stunned: "Why did you cry after leaving home for half a day?" But do you want to be a good match? ”
Amon raised his sleeve and wiped his face carelessly, and said with a smile: "I don't have any good looks, how can I be like an adult......
Hearing that Amon had something to say, Zhou Yu's expression was awe-inspiring: "What do you mean by this." ”
Amon Thief smiled, made a trumpet with his hands, and bowed his head to whisper to Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu pushed him away with a palm, and straightened his clothes: "The big husband stands up to the sky, if you have something to say, don't whisper here." ”
Amon smiled evilly: "My lord has really changed his taste, why are you so interested in that tomboy?" ”
He just regarded Xiao Qiao as the object of hanging the pot to help the world, and in the eyes of others, he had other plans. Zhou Yu was upset in his heart and replied: "Even if it's not Miss Xiao Qiao, if it were you, I would save it." ”
Amon stuck out his tongue and said: "The adults only have Mrs. in their hearts, but there are some things, I still want to open some good ......"
Hearing Amon's words, Zhou Yu was not sad, but laughed: "What do you little monkey cub know?" Lead your way well, and if you take it wrong, I will pour all the hemp boiling into you. ”
Amon smiled and bowed, trotted back to the front of the team, turned over and prepared to go.
At the carriage, Da Qiao was already waiting anxiously, and when he saw Xiao Qiao coming back, he couldn't help but be disgusted: "Where did you run away, I'm still worried that you will meet a bad guy......"
Xiao Qiao glanced at Zhou Yu and snorted coldly: "Sister is right, she did meet a bad guy." ”
Da Qiao was at a loss and opened his mouth to ask. Who knew that Xiao Qiao was like a monkey, lifted the curtain and slipped into the car.
Zhou Yu stepped forward and stood side by side with Sun Ce: "Miss Da Qiao, please take care of the wounds on Sister Ling's body." The weather is getting hot, the car is bumpy, don't leave a scar. ”
"Thank you Gongzi Zhou for your care", Da Qiao saluted the two, logged into the car, and put down the curtain.
Sun Ce stretched his waist and said to Zhou Yu: "At this speed, we will be able to rush to the Yuan Shu military camp early the day after tomorrow." ”
Zhou Yu patted Sun Ce's shoulder and said in a low voice: "Bo Fu, I was about to discuss with you, we might as well march slowly, and stay in Jiangdu today, how about it?" ”
Sun Ce was stunned, rubbed his elbow against Zhou Yu's heart, and quipped: "But the peace officer has been working for a long time, his body is not reliable, and he can't stand riding a horse?" ”
Zhou Yu smiled: "I saw a vacant space in the paper grass next to the road, don't let us go to the comparison?" ”
"That's it", Sun Ce squeezed his eyes at Zhou Yu and said, "You and I love better than brothers, if you use force because of these trivial things, wouldn't it be a joke?" For your brother, you are! ”
In the carriage, Xiao Qiao took all the words of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu into his ears, his little face was not shocked, but his thin body leaned on Da Qiao's arms, and murmured: "Sister, help Wan'er take medicine......"
In the evening, when everyone marched to Jiangdu, Amon turned his horse's head and drove to the front of the car, and said to Zhou Yu: "My lord, it's getting dark, do you want to stay in Jiangdu today?" ”
Sun Ce scolded in a low voice: "What are you stupid pretending to be stupid, you stinky boy? We are going to the barracks, not to the outing! Besides, how do these more than 100 people stay in the store, and how much money does it cost? There is a large open space outside the West Gate, where we will set up camp tonight! ”
Amon pursed his lips and muttered a few words, as if he was secretly scolding Sun Ce for being stingy, and reluctantly beat the horse away. Sun Ce was angry, and said with a forked waist: "This little bastard throws his face at every turn, and I don't know what you like about him, and you trust him so much!" ”
Zhou Yu smiled and said with relief: "Don't be angry, although the kid is reckless and doesn't know how to be polite, he is indeed a real and reliable person." And his ancestral home is also Wu County, and he is the same township as you. ”
Sun Ce obviously had no interest in Amon, and opened his round mouth and yawned: "I knew that I would have to go back to Jiangdu, so it is better to wait for you in the same place, so as not to have those incidents." ”
"It's up to people to do things, it's up to heaven to do things, how can you calculate that? After a while, when I have settled down, I will go with you into the city to meet my aunt. ”
Sun Cejun's eyes turned, and his smile was full of traitor and joy: "Whether it's good or not, in addition to my mother, there is another person who wants to see you." ”
Zhou Yu took it for granted and said: "You are talking about Zhongmou, every time you see him, you have to pester me to tell him about the military book." ”
Sun Ce smiled crookedly and didn't say anything more. However, after a while, the group came to the west gate of Jiangdu City, as Sun Ce said, this place is spacious and rarely populated, and it is indeed suitable for camping. Zhou Yu instructed Amon Zhang Luo and everyone to set up tents, and he himself entered the Jiangdu City with Sun Ce.
At night, the streets were empty, and the breeze was blowing, which should have been a refreshing spring night, but because the city walls were dilapidated and desolate, it added a bit of sadness and horror.
Sun Ce took Zhou Yu around and around, walked all the way, and finally came to a mansion. The two walked up in the night, only to see that the courtyard door was closed and the door knocker was covered with a thin layer of ash, Sun Ce couldn't help but lose his interest, and sighed in a low voice: "I guess they won't wait for me honestly, they must have sneaked away to play while I was away." ”
Zhou Yu saw that the city was deserted and desolate, which was very different from his memory, and couldn't help muttering: "How can this good city be ruined like this......"
"The people of Jiangdu are no better than living in a nest, there is no blessing in their lives, and the parents and officials who have no responsibility on the stall abandon the city and flee whenever bandits kill them, and they don't care about the lives of these people."
When Zhou Yu heard this, he was very heartbroken for the people of Jiangdu, and sighed: "When I read Qu Zi when I was a child, 'Chang Tai Xi to hide his tears, mourn the difficulties of the people's livelihood', I only felt very sad, but now it seems that it is simply heartbroken. ”
Sun Ce grabbed Zhou Yu's shoulder, squeezed his eyebrows and smiled: "What's the use of a cone?" If we want to change this troubled world, we can only rely on people like you and me......"
Zhou Yu saw Sun Ce's full of energy, and couldn't help but chuckle: "You're good, you still have the heart to laugh, aren't you worried about the safety of your aunt and younger siblings?" ”
"Safety?" Under the frost and moonlight, Sun Cejun's face was full of indescribable colors, "Let's not talk about Zhongmou, Shang Xiang is only twelve years old this year, and she is already spicy, I don't know what kind of man will dare to marry her in the future, it really gives me a headache as a brother......"
There was a rustling sound from a few towering trees not far away, the sound was very small, it was not easy to be noticed, but it still alarmed Zhou Yu: "Who?" ”
Sun Ce pulled Zhou Yu and hid in the shadows, his right hand tightly pressed the short knife on his waist, staring at the indistinguishable black shadow in the dark night, for a moment. Needless to say, if the other party makes a move, Sun Ce will definitely be able to defeat the enemy with one blow.
The black shadow appeared, it was one tall and one short, Sun Ce's short knife flew out and regretted it, he screamed, and flew up to catch the handle of the knife that wanted to get out of his hand.
But the handle of the knife is running to the wind, and it has long been unconstrained by Sun Ce. Fortunately, the man was agile, and with a flick of his wide sleeves, he flew out of the stone and missed the short knife.
Sun Ce was shocked and reprimanded loudly: "You two are not staying in the barracks, what are you here to run around?" ”
Da Qiao stepped forward and said with a smile: "We are not injured, so the son doesn't have to mind." ”
Dissolving the moonlight, Da Qiao is dressed in Confucian men's clothes, which is even more delicate and moving than women's clothes. Sun Ce stepped forward and whispered around Da Qiao: "The girl is really beautiful, and the thought that in three days, the girl will lose to Sun is really exciting." ”
Da Qiao smiled lightly: "Don't talk big, son, maybe you will lose to the little girl?" ”
Zhou Yu didn't have time to care about the ridicule between the two of them, frowned and asked, "Why did the two girls enter the city?" But what's going on outside the city? ”
Xiao Qiao turned his head and pouted, "I'm embarrassed to ask, your group of foolish soldiers fought with a group of blind streams outside the city." Amun, like a monkey, climbed the tree so high, shouting that we should come to you. ”
Zhou Yu's mind immediately appeared with the appearance of Amon climbing on the tree and shouting, this child's martial arts are not low, if he does not encounter a strong enemy, he will not climb the tree rashly. Thinking of this, Zhou Yu changed his calm appearance in the past: "Quick, go back to the outside of Xicheng!" ”
There was a bonfire in the camping place west of the city, and a group of heavily armed soldiers came out of nowhere, shouting that Amon and others had robbed the territory, and the momentum was violent. Amon was originally an impatient person, and when he saw that the other party was like this, he became angry with him when he disagreed.
The other party led a crowd of three or two hundred and fought fiercely with Amon and others. As if he understood the truth of capturing the thief and capturing the king, more than ten people surrounded Amon tightly, forcing him to jump onto the tree, and the crossbow machine in his hand was aimed at the people under the tree and kept shooting.
Not to be outdone, the round-up under the tree threw his knife and arrows one after another, and Amon used the trunk cover to block left and right, and shot and injured several people. When the stalemate was at a stalemate, a man who looked like a general stepped forward and shouted to stop: "Stop!" ”
Everyone under the tree froze, but Amon had no intention of stopping, and in an instant, he shot down again. The man was in a hurry and shouted loudly: "You are the guard of Jiangdu Sun Ce, I am his maternal uncle, stop quickly!" ”
When Amon heard this, he panicked for a moment, and his hand did not slip, but he fell heavily from the tree. It's no wonder that Amon was frightened, he indiscriminately injured more than a dozen people, and he actually injured his own family by mistake, what if Sun Ce knew?
Thinking of this, Amon stiffened under the tree, and his head hurt more and more. At this moment, there was a faint sound of hurried footsteps in the distance, a pair of bony plain hands supported Amon's head and neck, he opened his eyes, and saw that the person who came was Zhou Yu. Sun Ce's scolding sounded at the same time, and he was deafening: "You idiots, don't you ask your family before you fight!" ”
The general-looking man stepped forward, patted Sun Ce's shoulder, and said widely: "You two took the lead in jumping into the city, no wonder these boys have lost their backbones." Let them deal with the aftermath, Bo Fu Gongjin, and you two will come with me to the tent. ”
This person is Wu Jing, the younger brother of Sun Ce's mother, who is also in Yuan Shujun now, but his rank is too low and he is not reused. Before entering the account, Sun Ce asked loudly: "Uncle, why are my mother and younger siblings not at home?" ”
Wu Jing waved his hand and motioned to Sun Ce to speak in a low voice: "Two days ago, another bandit entered the Jiangdu, and I ordered my subordinates to send them to Shouchun." ”
Zhou Yu stepped forward and saluted Wu Jing, "I've seen Uncle Wu." ”
Wu Jing smiled, stepped forward and grabbed Zhou Yu's shoulders with both hands: "Good boy, I haven't seen you for several years, and you're already taller than me......"
Sun Ce was thirsty, picked up the cup on the table, and squirted out all of Wu Jing's words: "Uncle is still a child? Gongjin is already a widower, how can it be appropriate for my uncle to say this? ”
After listening to Sun Ce's words, Wu Jing, a man in his early forties, laughed very embarrassedly: "You kid, why do you talk so badly, but you sincerely make the old man unable to come to the stage?" ”
Fortunately, Zhou Yu was not at all surprised, waved his hand and said: "It's okay, it's too coincidental to meet Uncle Wu here, the two of us are about to go to Shouchun, dare to ask where Uncle wants to go?" ”
"We are on the same road, I am escorting grain and grass for General Yuan, and I plan to arrive in Shouchun in two days. The two of you must go together for the sake of the army? ”
Sun Ce stepped forward with a wicked smile and grabbed Wu Jing's neck: "Uncle came just in time, I am worried about how to enter the Yuan Shu military camp, everything is enough with you." ”
Wu Jing opened Sun Ce's hand, frowned and said, "Stinky boy, you don't know, there are many righteous people in the world who hate Yuan Shu." Last month alone, more than a dozen people tried to assassinate him. Yuan Shu was already not broad-minded, but now he is even more frightened, and the control inside and outside the military camp is becoming more and more strict. Your uncle is soft-spoken, if he rashly takes you to introduce you, I am afraid that before you and my nephew can speak, they will be beheaded on the stone steps. ”
Sun Ce and Zhou Yu looked at each other, and after a long time, Sun Ce stalked and said: "I'm not afraid, I am not bad with Gongjin's kung fu, even if ten thousand people come to the enemy, I can resist the time of a stick of incense......"
Wu Jing was so angry that he raised his hand to pat Sun Ce, but he stood on tiptoe but did not stand firmly, and almost fell into the air. The seven-foot-tall man's face was swept away, but he still refused to lose his uncle's majesty, he straightened up, crossed his waist and said, "If you get to that point, won't it be even more misleading that you are an assassin!" Even if you can hold up a stick of incense, isn't it necessary for your head to fall to the ground! ”
"Even if I die, I will cut off the old man's head first!"
Wu Jing was shocked, and went straight up with both hands to cover Sun Ce's mouth. Sun Ce was so frightened that he almost bit his tongue, dodged Wu Jing, and retreated again and again: "What does my uncle smell on his hands, is it ......?"
Wu Jing rubbed his hand on his shirt embarrassedly: "I just went to the stable to drink horses, and I may be infected with some smell." ”
Sun Ce had a bitter face and snorted a few times: "Uncle is afraid that he is going to pick up horse manure!" ”
Zhou Yu pondered for a long time and said to the two: "Uncle Wu, Uncle Fu, don't argue first. It's not that difficult, we have a ready-made candidate here, so why not? ”
Wu Jing originally had a straight face, but at this time, he suddenly clapped his hands: "By the way, I heard that the two girls who walked with you are the two daughters of General Qiao?" A few days ago, your mother told me that you are eighteen but you are not yet married, and you are very anxious, if you know you now......"
Sun Ce suddenly remembered the gambling contract with Da Qiao, and slapped his thigh: "I said why did that girl suddenly want to bet with me, it turned out that I had been calculating my Sun Bofu for so long, and I still didn't know it in the dark!" ”
