In late spring in March, the powder fell to the incense. Da Qiao's body was invaded by the cold water, and a pair of warm and strong arms held her up by the waist, and even if she was helpless, she could only wrap around Sun Ce's upright body, not daring to relax in the slightest.

I felt pity for Da Qiao in my arms like a hibiscus out of the water, but Sun Ce smiled like a nobody: "The girl doesn't have to be frightened, as long as she surrounds me, she can save her life." The children of Jiangdong have nothing else to do, only the water nature is much stronger than others. ”

Xiao Qiao Huoran stood up, and when he saw Da Qiao floating in the water and being hugged by Sun Ce, he was so angry that he raised his oar and slapped it at Sun Ce. Sun Ce raised his hand to block: "It's a small matter to hurt me, but if I miss and let go of your sister, can you, a little monster, go into the water to catch people?" ”

Seeing Sun Ce threatened with this, Xiao Qiao was angry and annoyed, but he had no choice but to hand the oars to Sun Ce. Sun Ce grabbed the oars and swam to the side of the boat, lifted Da Qiao into the boat, supported his arms, and turned over on the boat.

In the middle of three or five feet, the boat docked, and the three abandoned the boat and went up. Sun Ce took off his soaked shirt and wrung the water vigorously. Da Qiao was soaked and exhausted, and the whole person shrank into a ball, and when she saw Sun Ce walking forward bare-chested, she hurriedly turned her back with a red face. Sun Ce was very proud, and deliberately teased: "Girl, don't blame me for being abrupt, this wet clothes are really uncomfortable on my body." ”

"Thank you Sun Gongzi for sacrificing his life to save him", Da Qiao said softly with his back to Sun Ce.

"Why did my sister thank him? Judging from his skills when he got on the boat, he must have deliberately fallen into the water and implicated his sister! After this incident, Xiao Qiao was annoyed by Sun Ce, and he didn't expect Da Qiao to thank him.

"Wan'er, don't be rude to Engong", Da Qiao gave Xiao Qiao a look, and continued to turn his back to Sun Ce and said, "I don't know if there is a ready-to-wear shop nearby?" Can you ask Sun Gongzi to find some clean clothes for me? ”

"That's nature, Sun Mou is not talented, I wish to live forever to pick clothes for the girl", Sun Ce smiled evilly and raised his eyebrows at Xiao Qiao, full of complacency: "It's just that compared to the nest market, this place is closer to Brother Lu's house, I went to borrow the dry dress of the female dependent, and immediately turned back, and asked the two girls to hide by this tree for a while, don't leave." ”

After speaking, Sun Ce plugged his mouth with his index finger and thumb, blew the whistle, and in the blink of an eye, the sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and Dawan Ju Qiji jumped towards Sun Ce. Sun Ce didn't say a word, flew on his horse, and hurriedly hit the horse and drove towards the Lu house.

Lu Su's family is a big family in the south of the Yangtze River, and the hall is both grand and courteous. Zhou Yu and Lu Su sat down according to the distinction between the host and guest, and a girl stepped forward with tea. After the others retreated, Zhou Yu asked: "Brother Lu wants to recruit family members, why are there more than 100 people standing in the courtyard, like a small army." ”

Lu Su deliberately sold a pass: "Let's not talk about these first, is the hairy girl in Qiao Rui's family cured?" ”

"I happened to meet my master yesterday, and I got rid of the disease that night."

"This girl's life is good, she met a famous doctor like Zhang Taishou, but", Lu Su stopped talking, and motioned to Zhou Yu to come closer, "I always feel that these two girls are coming strangely, I'm afraid you want to go to the Yuanshu military camp with them, right?" ”

"Exactly, I got some clues about Uncle Sun's assassination from my master yesterday, Bo Fu couldn't sit still anymore, and decided to go to Yuan Shu to ask for troops first, and then go to conquer Huang Zu according to the previous plan."

"Gongjin, it's not me talking about you, it's just Sun Bofu, shouldn't you be in this troubled water", Lu Su's face was solemn, without any joke.

Zhou Yu had never seen Lu Su so serious, and he couldn't help but be funny: "What's the matter, is Brother Lu also anti-Yuan Yidang?" ”

"That Yuan Shu relied on a family of four generations and three dukes, with the ability to reach the sky, one after another in front of the emperor for his subordinates to ask for officials, and after taking office, he instructed them to expropriate and expropriate, and Jianghuai was mostly harmed by it. It is said that good birds choose trees to perch, do you Zhou Gongjin want to serve such a master? The more Lu Su spoke, the more angry he became, and he unconsciously slapped the table.

Zhou Yu saw that Lu Su was angry, not angry but laughing, he got up and paced slowly: "Brother Lu is Gong Jin's confidant, and he has always known Gong Jin as a person. Today, the Han family will fall into the world, and the ministers will be in chaos, which is a fixed number and cannot be changed. Scholars like you and me, if they can't put pen to paper, just sit at home, and are full of love to serve the country, what can they do about it? For today's plan, only by assisting a good person to become a hegemon can we shelter all the people! At that time, Gaozu started in Pei County, Xiang Yu started in Jiangdong, and I was overflowing with dragon light in the south of the Yangtze River, which was the right time and place! The great responsibility has been lowered, the beloved has appeared, if we can help him start in Jiangdong, and finally enter the Central Plains, and calm the world, it is the only way to save the people! ”

Lu Su stared at Zhou Yu in disbelief: "You have refused to be born all these years, how can you ...... today?" Could it be that the overlord of the beloved man you are talking about is ......"

At this moment, two slight knocks sounded, and the butler's voice came from outside the door: "Lang Jun, there is a shirtless young man outside the door, who calls himself Sun Lang, and wants to ......find you and Zhou Gongzi by name."

Zhou Yu and Lu Su looked at each other for a long time, and suddenly laughed together.

"Gong Jin, this beloved man is really amazing, in order to prove that he is extraordinary, he became a 'cool man' in March, and he is really a blockbuster."

Zhou Yu's cheeks were hot, and he hugged his fist at Lu Su and said, "This matter should be an accident, let's accompany Brother Lu first." ”

Lu Su laughed so much that he was about to cry: "Daxing doesn't care about being careful, I like his temperament!" ”

After that, the two of them did not delay any longer and walked towards the gate together.

Among the woods of Chaohu Lake, Da Qiao was soaked and shivering from the cold. Xiao Qiao squatted aside and said helplessly: "Sister is really, that Sun Bofu is so rude, I see that you are enjoying it...... Sister won't really take a fancy to Naden disciple, right? ”

Two suspicious blush flew on Da Qiao's pale little face: "You kid would talk nonsense, if it weren't for my father's order, how could I provoke him?" ”

Suddenly, an arrow feather came from nowhere, grazing Xiao Qiao's white cheek and flying past. Big Joe screamed and exclaimed, "Get down!" ”

Xiao Qiao did not comply, but the group stepped forward to protect Da Qiao firmly behind him, his hands hanging weakly, as if he was ready to make a move at any time.

Time passed, and there was no new movement from the other party, Xiao Qiao couldn't bear it anymore and asked loudly, "Who are you?" But for the sake of money? ”

In an instant, arrows rained down from all directions, which was a response to Xiao Qiao. Seeing that it was useless to say more, Xiao Qiao flicked his wide sleeves, and several flying stones came out with the sand and wind, and accurately knocked down the flying feather arrows one by one.

Da Qiao is not good at martial arts, but he is not incomprehensible, a pair of beautiful eyes are overwhelmed, and he silently calculates the number and direction of arrows in his heart. With so many arrows flying down, and responding so closely, I'm afraid it would take dozens of people to complete it. But she had good hearing, and she hadn't heard so many approaching footsteps.

However, the flying feather arrows around him did not stop at all, but became faster and more frequent, making Xiao Qiao feel that he couldn't resist it, and judging from such a speed, it really didn't look like it was done by man. Da Qiao thought to himself: Is this a new type of crossbow machine, or a person with special abilities? If it's ingenuity, there's always room to break through, and if it's a strange person with extraordinary talent, it's terrible.

Xiao Qiao's sleeves were exhausted, and he had no strength to resist, so he threw Da Qiao down: "Sister, get down!" ”

It was too late, it was fast, Xiao Qiao calculated the rhythm of the arrow, got up suddenly, took advantage of the momentum to climb the arbor behind him, jumped into the air, and successfully dodged the arrows in all directions. The person who released the arrow reacted very quickly, re-aiming in the blink of an eye, and re-firing the arrow. Little Joe, who jumped high, rolled over in the air, let go of his hands, and fell straight down like a swooping eagle. The arrows that had lost their aim flew in unison somewhere in the woods, making several terrible loud noises.

Xiao Qiao landed steadily, wanting to help Big Qiao to move to the side. In the depths of the jungle, there was a strange sound wave, unusually low and extremely high-pitched, if there was nothing, it was extremely unreal. After a short, terrible moment of silence, a strange cacophony of remixes suddenly faded from far to near.

Zhou Yu and Lu Su rode by car, and Sun Ce tried his best to control the horse and rushed to the lake with a few Lu Mansion guards. Hearing this strange noisy sound, Lu Su couldn't help but lift the curtain to look, it was a sunny day, but the abbot above his head suddenly darkened and darkened, only to see thousands of winged and scaly birds flying overhead and gathering to the shore.

Zhou Yu was shocked: Isn't this the strange bird that pecked Gan Ning and the others away that day? Could it be that something happened to Little Joe?

"Drive!" Sun Ce beat the horse ruthlessly and rushed towards the shore of Chaohu Lake.

Under the towering giant trees on the shore of Chaohu Lake, Xiao Qiao lay in Da Qiao's arms, covered in bruises. Sun Ce quickly dismounted, rushed forward to check the injury, and saw that Xiao Qiao's back of his hand and cheeks were all narrow scars, Sun Ce was surprised: "What's going on?" But was attacked by gangsters? ”

Da Qiao nodded tearfully and pointed to the forest in the distance, unable to say a word. Zhou Yu and Lu Su came to Sun Ce's side together, and seeing that Xiao Qiao was dying, Zhou Yu hurriedly squatted down to check Xiao Qiao's pulse. Lu Su's expression was extremely ugly, and he asked in a trembling voice, "Who did this?" Why are you so ruthless to a hairy girl! ”

Sun Ce changed his tone of laughter, took out clean clothes from the carriage and put them on for Da Qiao, and said solemnly: "This place is not suitable for a long time, and the injuries on the girl's body can't be ignored, Gongjin, you take the two girls back first, and hand them over to me and Brother Lu here." ”

Zhou Yu nodded in agreement, stepped forward to pick up Xiao Qiao, and sent him into the carriage. Da Qiao boarded the car and hugged Xiao Qiao steadily, Zhou Yu no longer hesitated, and quickly drove towards the old house.

The accompanying family member returned from exploring the forest, stepped forward and said to Lu Su: "Yu Langjun, there is a suspicious big wooden box in the bushes, about one person high. ”

"There's it too!" Another housekeeper shouted from among the woods.

"Move in and take a look!" Lu Su commanded.

Several family members worked together to bring a large wooden box, which was full of round holes, about the size of a copper coin. If Lu Su and Sun Ce had an epiphany, they looked at each other with shocked expressions, only to hear Jia Ding shout again: "Yu Langjun, follow the direction of the straight line of the wooden box, and find many arrows!" ”

Lu Su said coldly: "Bo Fu, this matter is really strange......

"Such a delicate work, such a spicy method...... It seems that the two of them have been secretly followed and watched, waiting for an opportunity to get rid of them. ”

"This box is big and heavy, there are eight in the four corners, it is not easy to transport it here and arrange it in such a short time, I don't know who these two weak girls have offended, and they have been poisoned by this cruelty!" Thinking of this, Lu Su's expression became more and more ugly, as if he had condensed the frost of three autumns.

Sun Ce gritted his teeth and said: "Born in troubled times, human life is like a mustard. There are too many crazy people who love to kill crazy demons, we guess unintentionally, why don't we go back and ask those two girls. ”

Lu Su smiled bitterly: "The two of them are already strange, will they tell the truth?" ”

Sun Ce smiled: "Whether it's the truth or a lie, you can always guess some clues." Brother Lu doesn't have to worry, just go back to the old house with me. ”

In the guest room of the old mansion, Zhou Yu adjusted the paste and handed it to Da Qiao, so that she could bruise Xiao Qiao. The scars all over the body were very dense and the wounds were deep, but when Da Qiao gave Xiao Qiao medicine, Xiao Qiao didn't say a word, only the white knuckles of the little hands showed that she still felt.

Outside the guest room, Zhou Yu stood under the cloister with a solemn face. The rain of arrows in the sky, the charming birds, the dying Xiao Qiao and Sun Jian's chest scars flashed in his mind one after another. Zhou Yu's brows were tightly twisted, his green tendons were raised, and his handsome face was full of unspeakable pain. There are people in this world who can harness such a treacherous and powerful force, whether it is good or evil, it is enough to make people's hearts frightened.

Da Qiao suddenly opened the door and stepped forward to salute Zhou Yu: "Zhou Gongzi has rescued her sister several times, and he is not grateful, if he has a place for the little girl in the future, he will be sent by Gongzi." ”

Zhou Yuzheng turned around and said solemnly: "Thank you is no need, dare to ask the girl, do you really not know who is behind today's events?" ”

Da Qiao was stunned, raised his clear eyes, and the tears in the corners of his eyes rolled down suddenly: "My father, as a general, will always offend in life and death." But if you talk about such ruthless methods, the little girl and the house-girl are really unheard of and unseen! Zhou Gongzi is very smart, think about it, if I know that someone is chasing and killing, how can I deliberately boat on Chaohu Lake, giving people a chance to make a move? ”

Zhou Yuzheng didn't know how to pick it up, and Sun Ce's voice suddenly sounded: "Miss Da Qiao doesn't have to mind, my brother's wife is newly mourned, and she is not in a good mood, so she is not suspicious of the girl." This place is not suitable to live again, tomorrow morning, we set off on time, and ask the girl to make a little bit for Lingmei. ”

Seeing Sun Ce and Lu Su coming side by side, Da Qiao nodded slightly and lowered his eyes and asked, "Sun Gongzi and Master Lu are back, but what tricks have been found?" ”

Sun Ce chuckled and shook his head: "If you don't have the slightest clue, you can't win or run." With me protecting the girl, you don't have to worry about anything. ”

"Then I'm going to bother Sun Gongzi", Da Qiao smiled, stopped talking nonsense with Zhou Yu, got up and walked back to the guest room.

Zhou Yu, Sun Ce, and Lu Su walked into the hall together, closed the door panel, and the three of them were all solemn, no longer joking.

Lu Su was impatient, but he had to lower his voice: "Young General, are you crazy?" If something like this happens, you will set off as planned tomorrow morning? ”

Sun Ce's expression was solemn, but there was a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth: "This matter is really getting more and more interesting, I will definitely investigate the death of my father to the end." No matter what kind of cow, ghost, snake and god come from, my grandson Bofu is all people block and kill, and Buddha blocks *! ”

Zhou Yu cooks tea and boils water, it seems that his heart is like stopping water, but in fact, the undercurrent is surging: "What Bo Fu said is not bad, now that he has hit the door, it is really pointless to hide again." might as well go straight to the Dragon Court and fight him to the death. ”

Lu Su's gaze wandered between the two of them, with a bit of admiration in shock: "Good Zhou Gongjin, you will go crazy when you meet Sun Bofu...... Anyway, Lu should have gone with you so that he could do his part. But the elderly grandmother in the family can't be taken care of by no one, so Lu scattered all his family wealth and recruited a hundred Jiangdong children, so as a part of Lu's heart, escort you to the army! ”
