At noon, among the clouds of the mountains, the warm sun is like a cloud. Zhou Yu carried Xiao Qiao on his back and walked slowly among the deep ravines of the green mountains. After walking on the mountain road for most of the day, Xiao Qiao couldn't help but feel a little distressed: "Haven't you been tired of carrying me for so long?" ”

But Zhou Yu was looking through the sheepskin map, and he didn't pay attention to Xiao Qiao's words at all: "What did you just say?" ”

Xiao Qiao helplessly held his forehead: "I said I'm tired, let's rest for a while." ”

Zhou Yu responded lightly, and carefully helped Xiao Qiao to sit on the stone bench, while he stood aside and continued to bury his head in the map.

The green mountains are faint, the clear water is far away, Zhou Yu is dressed like a fairy, Xiao Qiao raised her eyes and looked, there was a little dumping, she hurriedly lowered her eyes, rubbed her swollen and painful ankles, and asked in a low voice: "It's been three or two days in the mountains, and there has been no progress at all, what are you going to do?" ”

Zhou Yu rolled up the sheepskin map, stuffed it into his wide sleeves, and smiled like a spring breeze: "Since you came to play in the mountains, what progress is not progressing?" How's your rest? Let your brother see your wounds. ”

Xiao Qiao's mouth opened round, stared at Zhou Yu and thought for a moment, secretly wondering in his heart, how could he suddenly say that? Is it because you can't notice that someone around you can't follow you? Xiao Qiao's heart was relieved, and he raised his little face and said coquettishly: "I still can't walk, and I have to rest for a while." ”

Zhou Yu stepped forward, leaned over and squatted in front of Xiao Qiao, pretending to see her injuries, and asked in a low voice, "Did you bring a stone arrow?" ”

Xiao Qiao nodded obediently, and echoed loudly: "Brother don't worry, it's just that it still hurts a little......"

It seems that the answer is not the question, but in fact, there is a heart. Zhou Yu held Xiao Qiao by his side, and quietly held down the short sword with his right hand, his face was as plain as usual, and his eyes were wandering, as if he was enjoying the beautiful scenery of Yishan Mountain.

The east wind blows through the dense forest, the green leaves are swaying, making a rustling sound, and after about a cup of tea, the four sides have returned to calm.

After confirming that the surroundings were safe again, Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief. But where did the murderous aura in the forest come from, and why did it disappear out of thin air without a trace, Zhou Yu was puzzled: "Little Qiao girl, how much do you remember about Changmu Xiu?" Can you tell me everything? ”

"Are you suspicious of Osamu Nagagi?" Xiao Qiao's eyes were full of confusion, "He is really a good person, he was abducted to the mountain like me, why don't you believe it?" ”

Hearing Xiao Qiao's protection of Chang Mu Xiu like this, Zhou Yu's face sank even more: "You are young, you don't know that people's hearts are sinister...... Forget it, you don't have to talk about it, you just have to tell me everything about the past. ”

Xiao Qiao's eyes rolled, and after weighing it, he said to Zhou Yu: "I can't remember many things clearly, I might as well find an opportunity tonight to chat with Brother Xiu and catch up with him, you can listen behind the door." It's better for two people to remember together than one person's one-sided words, right? ”

"You're going to make me do this kind of trick?"

Xiao Qiao saw Zhou Yu's gloomy face, and couldn't help laughing: "Then you ask me about things, isn't it also the same as a gentleman's doing?" What's more, Daxing doesn't care about being careful, if you can clear away Brother Xiu's suspicion and cure your suspicions, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone? ”

Zhou Yu's face was expressionless, but his heart became more and more uncomfortable. Changmu Xiu's talking temperament, where is he like a woodcutter in the mountains and forests, he suspects him is reasonable, but in Xiao Qiao's opinion, it seems to be deliberately targeted. Even though his heart turned a thousand times, his face was silent, and Zhou Yu replied loudly: "Okay, since that's the case, let's go back to the grass hut now." ”

After speaking, Zhou Yu stopped his waist and picked up Xiao Qiao, turned around and strode forward in the direction he came.

Xiao Qiao understood that Zhou Yu's move was worried that someone would attack her behind and protect her, but she was still uncontrollably excited.

The encounter on the spring mountain bound their fates together, and his joys, sorrows, and sorrows swayed her mood ever since. But he doesn't seem to know, or he knows, but he doesn't care. Thinking of this, Xiao Qiao couldn't help but gasp.

"What? Foot pain again? ”

Zhou Yu's beautiful voice came, with a bit of inquiry. Xiao Qiao hurriedly shook his head with a smile, kicked the embroidered shoes, and signaled that he was fine, but the sorrow in his heart was not half gone.

On the official road of Lu'an, a hundred miles away, Sun Quan drove the carriage all the way to the south. Sun Ce and Da Qiao sat in the same car, only to hear Da Qiao say: "Sun Lang, I still don't want to go back to Shucheng?" I don't want to upset Mrs. Wu in this situation......"

Sun Ce leaned against the wall of the car, looked at Da Qiao and said, "Ying'er, I understand your concerns. I'm not going to do that stupid thing to get you into an unnecessary rift with my mother. It's just that your father has rushed to Xuzhou yesterday, and you can't go to Shouchun or Wancheng. ”

When Da Qiao heard this, his slender arms wrapped around his knees, and his expression was clear: "Really, there is no place for me to stay......

Sun Ce put on Da Qiao's thin shoulders and smiled gently: "I can only show me such a coquettish appearance......"

Da Qiao's cheeks turned red, and he said angrily: "Shaohun said, who is coquettish." ”

"Ying'er, I will send you to Juchao, where Gongjin will be the county magistrate, but you sisters will be safe. Wait for General Qiao to return to Shouchun or wait for me to capture Shucheng, and then pick you back. Sun Ce didn't want to tell Da Qiao about what Qiao Rui had done in the army, lest she be worried about her stomach and couldn't sleep day and night, but she was always thinking about ways to break the enemy.

Seeing that there was no other way, Da Qiao had to respond obediently: "That's okay, it's just going to bother Zhou Gongzi." ”

"What's the trouble, you don't have to be polite with Gong Jin. When I have time to besiege the city, I will go to see you, and it is still very convenient to be separated by a hundred miles horizontally and vertically. ”

Da Qiao wanted to speak and stopped, his little face was as fresh as a peach blossom, and he snorted: "Sun Lang......"

Sun Ce took Da Qiao's little hand, and his tone couldn't help but soften three points: "What's the matter, Ying'er?" ”

"No...... There is a joy ......"

Sun Ce was stunned for a while before he reacted, Da Qiao was afraid that he would get pregnant if he kissed, he also blushed, and replied: "No, where is this......"

Da Qiao was a little confused and a little suspicious: "Won't it?" But ......"

"Of course, I didn't take off my clothes", although Sun Ce didn't know the trick, he knew a little bit about the fur, "But how to be happy, I'm afraid that Gong Jin will know, and I will have to ask him in the air." ”

Da Qiao regretted that she shouldn't have asked Sun Ce, but she summoned his string of unashamed words, she turned her head to the side of Yan Shan, and no longer paid attention to him.

Sun Ce smiled evilly and pulled Da Qiao's sleeve, and before he could speak, he suddenly heard a few faint string sounds from all around, and he hurriedly threw Da Qiao to the ground with a fierce son. At the same time, with a few "whoosh" sounds, arrows flew into the carriage from all directions.

Sun Ce's face turned pale, and he shouted loudly while protecting Da Qiao: "Zhongmou! ”

The sunset slowly sank down Xiling, the mountains and ravines suddenly turned into twilight, the birds returned to the nest and roosted, Zhou Yu hugged Xiao Qiao back to the grass house in the valley.

Chang Mu Xiu has not come back, the room is empty, Zhou Yu put Xiao Qiao down, pushed the door and walked into the main hall, only to see the four walls of the thatched house, dilapidated, except for a wooden couch, there are only stacked books.

Zhou Yu stepped forward, picked up the top book and flipped through it, it was "Zhou Yi", Zhou Yu thought to himself, this Changmu cultivator is chattering, I'm afraid that I have seen too much of this, he smiled helplessly, and was about to put the book down, but found that there was a paper pattern as thin as a cicada's wing.

Zhou Yu carefully unfolded it, only to see that the patterns drawn on it were very strange, scattered in several places on the paper, and not connected to each other. Xiao Qiao stepped forward at some point, saw this painting, and probed over: "What is this?" It's a mess. ”

Zhou Yu didn't answer, just stared at the pattern and was stunned. The gap between these strange shapes seemed to be seen somewhere, but Zhou Yu couldn't remember it for a while.

At this moment, Changmu Xiu's vigilant and slightly trembling voice suddenly came from outside the grass house: "Who...... Who's in the house? ”
