The rain poured down all night, and the day was bright. Early in the morning, Zhou Yu was ready to set off to return to the nest. In order to make the effect realistic, Sun Ce did not come to see him off, only Lu Meng rubbed his sleepy eyes, yawned and took Zhou Yu's luggage.

Zhou Yu took out the white horse and whispered to Lu Meng, who still had eyes in the corner of his eye: "Be sure to protect Bo Fu, and if anything happens, immediately send someone to the nest to find me." ”

Although Lu Meng was sleepy, he didn't dare to make a mistake in major matters, and replied: "Don't worry, my lord, Amon remember...... In addition, the major general has explained, and the Jiang team will secretly accompany them from the path, and protect the adults all the way back to the nest. ”

Lu Meng is now more and more presentable, no longer as reckless as before, Zhou Yu is quite pleased: "It's only been a year since I brought you out, and my conversation has become more and more decent." ”

Being praised by Zhou Yu like this, Lu Meng was very proud, smiling so much that he couldn't see his teeth, and he was full of joy: "After the tired adults go back, they also praise me at my aunt, otherwise she will always treat me as a child." ”

"Aunt Zhou watched you grow up, even if one day, you can be ranked as the third prince, she will still treat you as a child. Having said that, you should also read more books when you have time, the dumb man is now familiar with the four books, and the two of you are small in one place, so you should not be inferior to him. ”

While speaking, Zhou Yu grabbed the reins and turned over on the horse. Lu Meng hurriedly handed him the burden, and Zhou Yu took it, but he did not drive his horse away, but stared firmly at the camp gate not far away, as if he was waiting for someone.

Lu Meng couldn't help but wonder a little: in order to implement Cheng Pu's strategy and quarrel with Zhou Yu, Sun Ce couldn't come here to see him off, Zhou Yu knew it, so who was he waiting for at this moment? Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai are inconvenient to come, and several generals have special identities, what is the reason for the loss in Zhou Yu's eyes?

How would Lu Meng know that the dusty and desireless Zhou Gongjin in front of him would lose sleep all night because of a little girl's light kiss on tiptoe. Originally, Zhou Yu planned to take advantage of the separation to have a good talk with Xiao Qiao and let her collect her thoughts, but who knew that she didn't come.

Zhou Yu couldn't help frowning, very puzzled: What's the matter with the little girl now? Kissing someone and running away, not taking any responsibility at all, is simply inexplicably confusing, and a man who is five years older than her, isn't he just being played with by her in applause?

Lu Meng didn't know what Zhou Yu was thinking, seeing that his expression was solemn, he thought that he couldn't rest assured of Sun Ce, and patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, my lord, with Amon here, everything will go smoothly for the young general, so you can rest assured that you can set off and return to the nest." ”

If it was delayed any longer, Yuan Shu's eyeliner was only afraid of doubt, but Zhou Yu couldn't, so he had to bow his head, turn the horse's head, clamp the horse's belly between his legs, and whip the horse in the direction of the nest.

The breeze was cold, and after the tent more than ten zhang away, Xiao Qiao looked at Zhou Yu's figure on the horse, and he didn't know how sad he was. In order to prevent himself from crying too loudly, Xiao Qiao pressed the back of his hand to his lips, but he was still trembling and out of breath.

The troubled times are like this, and this time there may be no more life and death, Xiao Qiao reluctantly looked at Zhou Yu's back, until he completely disappeared at the end of the stretching official road, and he could no longer be seen. And her three souls and seven spirits seemed to collapse in an instant, and the clouds and mist also went with him a few wisps, and the whole person was dumbfounded, leaving only a beautiful exorcist shell.

I don't know how long I cried, but Xiao Qiao walked back to the tent like a ghost. Da Qiao was changing clothes, and when he saw Xiao Qiao's eyes red and swollen listlessly, he couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold her little hand: "Wan'er, what's wrong?" Did you go to see off Mr. Zhou? ”

Xiao Qiao's sadness that she had finally suppressed rose again, she couldn't help sobbing, leaned on Da Qiao's arms and cried for a while, before she relieved her emotions, got up and asked, "Sister, when are we going to Shouchun?" Why did you suddenly put on men's clothes? ”

Da Qiao smiled helplessly and sweetly: "Sun Lang said, let the two of us pretend to be strategists, it will be more convenient all the way." These clothes were made by Mrs. Wu for Zhou Gongzi, Zhou Gongzi lent us to wear, you can choose one quickly, Zhou Gongzi is too tall, and you have to hurry up and change it. ”

Xiao Qiao hesitated for a moment, pulled over the burden, and turned it up and down. Fortunately, he didn't leave the clothes he had made for him, Xiao Qiao let out a long sigh of relief, burst into tears and smiled, and missed him a little heavier.

Da Qiao watched Xiao Qiao cry and laugh, distressed and helpless, and stroked her total horn: "Wan'er......"

Before the two sisters could say something considerate, Sun Ce's voice sounded outside the tent, and he was heard in a low voice: "Ying'er, we are ready to go, are you ready?" ”

When Zhou Yu rode his horse back to the nest, it was noon, and the road was unimpeded and there was no crisis. Jiang Qin watched Zhou Yu enter the gate from a distance, turned around and returned with confidence, and galloped in the direction of Shouchun to catch up with Sun Ce's team.

Zhou Yu led the horse into the door, and the dumb child jumped forward to take the reins of the horse, and looked at it as if he was waiting for someone, Zhou Yu turned around and said, "Don't look, Amon didn't come back." ”

The dumb child was full of loss, and then he clenched his hands into fists above his head, brushed his sideburns, and pointed to his cheeks with a look of anticipation. Zhou Yu smiled helplessly, and said, "The two girls didn't come either, only I came back by myself." ”

The dumb child lost his lust in an instant, and led the horse to the low shed. Lu Su jumped out of the hall when he heard the sound, still holding half a rice cake in his hand: "Heh, Gongjin is back!" ”

"Why did you come to my house to eat and drink again?"

Hearing this, Lu Su was so angry that he strode down the stone steps: "Do you have a conscience for this kid?" On the same day, you put down a sentence of 'Bo Fu is in trouble', and jumped to Shucheng when you got up, Aunt Zhou and the dumb child were all taken care of by me Lu Zijing, I confiscated your silver, it is already the conscience of heaven and earth, how can you be embarrassed to say that I eat it? ”

Zhou Yu smiled heartily, and arched his hand: "It's all mine, Brother Zijing, please, sit inside." ”

Lu Su shook the hem of his clothes arrogantly, and walked back to the hall with Zhou Yu to sit down as the host and guest. After Aunt Zhou prepared a meal for the two, she bowed down and closed the door, leaving space for the two of them to talk.

Lu Su changed his playful expression, and asked Zhou Yu worriedly: "Gongjin, you have sent a letter from your father recently, is there something wrong?" ”

Zhou Yu's eyes darkened, put down the bamboo chopsticks, and looked extremely helpless: "It's okay, you don't have to worry." ”

"If there is anything wrong, don't carry it yourself", Lu Su couldn't understand Zhou Yu's expression, and his heart was even more worried, "Although I only have Bo Tian and widows, I will do my best to help you." ”

Zhou Yu saw that Lu Su didn't believe it, so he casually pulled out a letter and handed it over. Lu Su didn't know if it was appropriate, but seeing that Zhou Yu looked indifferent, he opened it and looked at it. Who knew that he couldn't see three or two lines, so he pounded the table and laughed: "You sent a letter from your father on the third day, and it actually urged you to continue to marry a wife?" ”

"Most of my cousins died in the war, and now I am the only one left in my generation. The old man wanted to see people prosperous, so he was in a hurry. ”

"Since you know, why don't you follow him, marry a famous lady he chooses, and if you have something to do in a few years, why don't you just accept him as a concubine?"

Zhou Yu lowered his eyes and shook his head, and his tone was firm: "I don't want to, if you don't really like each other, just to pass on the ancestry, what's the difference between it and a beast?" ”

Hearing this, Lu Su raised his hand and pointed at Zhou Yu, raised his chin and pretended to be displeased: "Who are you scolding?" ”

Zhou Yu held his forehead and smiled, and apologized: "Count me as a gaffe, I am offended." Let's get down to business, what's wrong with the woodcutter in Yishan that I asked you to look at earlier? ”

Speaking of this stubble, Lu Su looked sneered: "Well, I originally watched it carefully, he went up the mountain to chop firewood and down the mountain to sell firewood every day, there is nothing strange about it." But a few days ago, he suddenly went out of the mountain, and he never came back......"

"Oh?" Zhou Yu's eyes lit up, "Where did he go?" Can our people keep up? ”

"Then he followed and lost, but he seemed to be going in the direction of Shouchun."

On the official road thirty miles away from Shouchun, more than 2,000 people gave orders neatly and walked firmly. Han Dang and Zhu Zhi rode tall horses to open the way in front of their heads, while Cheng Pu and Huang Gai pressed the formation at the end.

Sun Ce did not ride a horse today, but rode in the same carriage with Xiao Qiao, who was disguised as a strategist. Lu Meng drove for them, and his mind kept circulating the appearance of Sun Ce stuffing the horse whip with a black face, and the sentence "I didn't sleep well, I won't ride a horse today" really made Lu Meng's eyes light up, and he couldn't control his thoughts, and then related to the scene he saw under Sun Ce's account last night, Lu Meng felt that he simply knew something terrible, he was very diligent and diligent, and he drove very steadily, and he didn't dare to make a mistake.

Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao Sun Ce were in the same car, only to feel that the two of them had lightning between their eyebrows and eyes, and the electricity made her uncomfortable, so she simply turned around and pretended to sleep.

Sun Ce didn't care about others, and at this time, he unscrupulously encircled Da Qiao in his arms: "Ying'er, the situation of this return to Shouchun is unknown, you two sisters must pay attention to their identities and don't show up." I'll find a suitable opportunity to go to my father-in-law and ask him to agree with me to take you away......"

Da Qiao's eyes moved slightly, and he was worried: "I don't know if my father will agree to you, I feel that I am really unfilial and have blocked my father." I don't know what Mrs. Wu's attitude is, will I think I don't know the etiquette ......?"

Sun Ce straightened Da Qiao's sideburns and soothed: "Silly Ying'er, your father has never refused to agree to our marriage. As for my mother, you don't have to worry about it. There is no better girl in this world than you, how can my mother not like you? What's more, I told her before she returned to Wu County, don't worry. ”

If everything goes well, Da Qiao will go to Jiangdong with Sun Ce in the near future, leaving Lujiang County and her father who lived a small life. Da Qiao only felt that all this was so unreal, and the nostalgia for her homeland and the longing for her relatives swept through her heart like a storm of rain and wind.

Seeing that Da Qiao was sad, Sun Ce intersected his fingers with her and promised: "Ying'er, don't worry, as long as the time is right, I will let you go back to see your father-in-law." I will also try my best to take care of my sister-in-law and help my father-in-law find a good family for her as soon as possible. ”

Sun Ce's words aroused the hidden worries in Da Qiao's heart, she gently covered Xiao Qiao's cloak, and asked Sun Ce in a low voice: "Will Gongzi Zhou come to Jiangdong in the future?" Today he is gone, Wan'er doesn't know how uncomfortable it is. ”

"Ying'er, I think you'd better find an opportunity to persuade your sister-in-law. A few days ago, Gong Jin told me that his father was already marrying a new wife for him. Although Gongjin's parents are gone, the Zhou family is a big family after all, and now there is only Gongjin left, and the Zhou family will not sit idly by. After all, Gong Jin's wife has been dead for more than two years, and the two of them only have the name of husband and wife but no husband and wife, and they have not yet had a son and a half daughter in their twenties, and the Zhou family will definitely be anxious. ”

Da Qiao snorted with long eyelashes, and replied: "It's really wronged to let you, a heroic and extraordinary young general, marry the daughter of my small family." Besides, there are a lot of people who ask to marry my sister, and there are many people who have a better family background than Zhou Gongzi. ”

was teased and choked by Da Qiao like this, Sun Ce was not embarrassed, lying on the carriage with his arms crossed, and laughing very happily.

Da Qiao's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he was puzzled: "What are you laughing at?" ”

Sun Ce pinched Da Qiao's little face, and the warmth flowed in his eyes: "Ying'er, I really love your gentleness, but I love your little pungency even more." Do you know that when my father snatched my mother as his wife, my mother was just a girl outside Gusu City. My father led the troops to pass by the edge of the village, and I fell in love with my mother at a glance. But the people in the village were afraid of my father and treated him as a Yama, and my mother married him for the safety of the whole village...... As a result, within a few years, several of our brothers and sisters were born. Ying'er, our man surnamed Sun marries a wife, just whether he likes it or not, and the rest doesn't matter, you can marry me with peace of mind and have a few more children with me. ”

Although Xiao Qiao is asleep, Sun Ce shouldn't say these shameless words in front of people! Da Qiao was ashamed and annoyed, turned around and refused to pay attention to him: "Who cares about your wife, I only ask you, with your understanding of Gongzi Zhou, will he get married so soon?" ”

"To be honest, I grew up with Gongjin, if you ask me what books he likes, what weapons he likes, and how much hot tea he drinks, I can answer them. But if you ask me what kind of woman he likes, I can't answer a word, let alone when he will get married. However, I heard that Gong Jin's first wife is not stunning, she can only be regarded as a middle-class person, and she thinks that Gong Jin herself is too good-looking, but she doesn't care about these, she should want to marry a confidant of Qin Se and Ming. The sister-in-law is like a tomboy, except for being good-looking, where do you have any strengths...... And her director is not valued by Gong Jin, so I don't think it's possible for the two of them. ”

The carriage swayed like a cradle, and Xiao Qiao really almost fell asleep, but when she heard the word "Gongjin", she pricked up her little ears.

Zhou Yu's relatives were actually arranging for him to get married, Xiao Qiao only felt that someone had stabbed her heart, and she couldn't wait to be dripping with blood, but she could only freeze still, secretly gasping and trying to calm herself down.

yes, she's too stupid and thinks too little. Although he has no father or mother, he always has relatives beside him, not to mention that a man like him is dazzling in himself, how can no one care?

But she was not reconciled at all, she was unwilling to give her beloved away like this. She has not yet reached the age of general, and her father has never been an official in the court, so it seems that no matter what, she will not be able to walk into Zhou Yu's field of vision. Thinking of this, Xiao Qiao became more and more sad, his eyes were confused, and he couldn't really see anything.

Just as she wanted to pretend to be asleep and turn over and secretly wipe away her tears, Lu Meng suddenly stopped her horse and said loudly to Sun Ce in the carriage: "Young General, Shouchun City has arrived." ”
