Chapter 31 (3)

Thinking of the letter back then, Da Qiao's face changed suddenly, and he asked, "Your brother ghostwrites, what does this mean?" ”

"What do you mean? Miss Da Qiao is really confused, she has been entrusted to no one for so many years, and she doesn't even know it. That year, General Sun was afraid that your father would not agree, so he specially ordered my brother to forge a letter to make you think that General Qiao had agreed to your marriage...... Don't you have any doubts, why have you corresponded with General Qiao all these years, and he has never asked you a word about Jiangdong? Didn't there be a half-fault in that letter back then? Now Yuan Shu is called the emperor, General Sun has turned against him, your father is in danger under Yuan's account, he was sent to the front line, and his life is not a strange thing, but the poor old general still doesn't know until he dies, and the baby daughter he holds in the palm of his hand has been a concubine of his lord's enemy all these years, and he has also given birth to children. ”

When Da Qiao heard this, his brain was shocked, half of his body was like a dead branch, Mu Ran lost consciousness, and even Xiao Qiao and Ji Qing's discord couldn't really hear it for a moment, and Ji Qing's words couldn't help but echo in his mind, stacking layer by layer like a river flooding, wanting to swallow her and drown. She struggled to come back to her senses, grabbed Xiao Qiao, and left the next sentence: "I only believe what Sun Lang said", and ran out as if she was running away.

Big Joe didn't get into the carriage, but dragged Little Joe all the way to the river, his little face was pale and his chest was undulating.

Seeing Da Qiao so flustered, Xiao Qiao stroked her shoulder and soothed: "Sister, don't listen to that woman's nonsense, I think she is deliberately trying to provoke the relationship between you and your brother-in-law?" If something really happened to my father, it would be impossible for my brother-in-law to hide it? Besides, even if my father really didn't agree back then, with my brother-in-law's love for my sister, I wouldn't care about my father's safety. What's more, there is Zhou Lang, Zhou Lang promised me when he left, he would protect his father, we have to believe in them, believe in them, sister. ”

"I don't want to believe Sun Lang, it's just that the letter back then......" Da Qiao recalled the contents of the letter, and he couldn't say it anymore.

Xiao Qiao saw that Da Qiao's face was extremely bad and his face was full of sweat, so he couldn't help but persuade: "Anyway, let's go back to the house first, and then discuss it sister." ”

After saying that, Xiao Qiao helped Da Qiao get into the carriage, and after confirming that no one was following him, he quickly drove towards the General's Mansion.

Cao's army marched south, Yuan Shu's army was defeated like a mountain, and fled all the way to the south, regardless of the life and death of the people, in just a few days, there was a tragic scene of cannibalism in Shouchun City. Zhou Yu visited here at night and settled in the post station outside the city, and his subordinates immediately brought forward several eyeliners that had been placed under Qiao Rui's tent.

Zhou Yu saw that these people were embarrassed, shrunk and shrank, feeling bad in his heart, and ordered his subordinates to bring dry food. These people hadn't eaten a decent meal in three or five days, and they devoured it all in three or two bites.

Only then did Zhou Yu ask: "General Ben wants to know what happened before the battle that day, what happened to General Qiao?" You must not conceal a word from each other. ”

Those few people, you look at me, I look at you, as if they were shocked when they mentioned this matter, and replied tremblingly: "On that day, our army fought against Cao Jun, and General Cao Jun challenged General Qiao forbidden. General Qiao has been in poor health recently, but he still coped with the battle, and the back and forth of the two swords was very thrilling, and we all sweated. Suddenly out of nowhere, hundreds of strange birds flew over, their wings half a foot long, and they bit every person, and by the time we finally dispersed them, General Qiao had fallen off his horse and was dying......"

Zhou Yu's dark eyes rippled with a few strands of light, which were dispelled for a moment: "You all said that General Qiao was killed by a bird, where is the body?" ”

"We tried to collect the burial for the general, but the birds quickly turned back, and when we drove them away again, General Joe's body was ...... It's gone......"

"In other words, you didn't confirm that General Qiao really lost his breath, but you just saw him fall off his horse, did you?"

"This ...... Although we didn't confirm it, General Zhang Xun rushed forward at that time, and it should be sure that General Qiao had lost his breath......"

Zhang Xun lower part? Isn't that the person who repaired Nagagi? Zhou Yu thought like this, but only said, "I know, you go down." ”

Seeing that Zhou Yu was not harsh, those people all kowtowed gratefully and bowed down.

This bird has not been seen for several years, but it appeared at such a juncture where the Yuan army and the Cao army were fighting, and it was still going towards Qiao Rui, which was really too strange. The rumors are boiling, if it reaches Xiao Qiao's ears, I don't know how panicked she will be, thinking of this Zhou Yu's heart sank, he stabilized his mind to analyze the situation, and tried not to let himself care about it: This strange bird and Qiao Rui's disappearance is aimed at Yuan Shu on the surface, but in fact it is aimed at Sun Ce and him, no matter what, at the moment, only by finding Qiao Rui and Changmu Xiu can the situation be broken, and all other things can be easily solved.

After returning to the General's Mansion, Da Qiao rummaged through the cabinets and found Qiao Rui's reply from the carved wooden box where he placed the letters.

Xiao Qiao stepped forward, and after reading two lines, his expression was a little darker: "There is no taboo in this letter, even the name of my grandfather is not avoided, is it really my brother-in-law looking for someone to write it?" However, even if my brother-in-law played a hooligan back then, I have seen what he has done to his sister over the years, how can he ignore our father when he cherishes and cares about his sister so much. ”

No matter how little Joe tried to persuade her, Da Joe's uneasiness did not diminish in the slightest, her little face was pale, her pupils were covered with a thin mist, misty and flustered, she got up, her thin body was like a hibiscus battered in a gale, staggering, and staggered to the front hall.

Although Sun Ce was not in Gusu these days, the newspapers from all over the country were still delivered as usual, and Da Qiao rummaged through the mountains of songs, and finally found a small envelope.

The letter from Wancheng should be mulberry paper, which is a specialty of her ancestral hometown, and others have nowhere to forge it. If Qiao Rui really has a good one, there will definitely be news from Wancheng, Da Qiao held his breath, picked up a knife and cut the letterhead a little bit, and pulled out a thin piece of stationery.

When Ji Qing returned to Wangchun Tower, it was still early, but the wing room on the second floor was already dark. She doesn't like the bright sunlight and always feels that a small dark space makes her feel safe, so she deliberately chooses the bedroom in the sun. In the past few days, Jiangdong has been in turmoil, and the operation of Wangchun Tower has also been hit hard, Ji Qing plans to take the opportunity to retreat bravely, sell the store inventory, and leave this place.

She gently closed the wooden door, dropped the lock key, and then turned around and was choked by someone's neck, Ji Qing's eyes widened, and she saw that it was none other than her own brother Changmu Xiu.

Ji Qing's face turned red, and she struggled to pick at Changmu Xiu's hand, but she felt that his strength was getting heavier and heavier. Regarding Changmu Xiu's anger, Ji Qing was like a mirror in his heart, and choked up: "You...... What kind of temper are you, Joe...... Qiao Rui's death does not depend on you, but ...... It will rely on Sun Bofu and Zhou Gongjin...... Head ......"

Ji Qing said this sentence intermittently, her consciousness gradually blurred, and at the moment when she was about to die, Changmu Xiu suddenly let go of her hand, and let Ji Qing slide down the door panel and fall to the ground in embarrassment.

Ji Qing only felt that the heart and lungs were like a dry river suddenly injected into the rolling torrent, choking and coughing, tears and saliva burst out at the same time, extremely embarrassed, and scolded angrily: "Zhang Xiu...... You...... You actually treated your sister like this for the sake of a woman! ”

In the dark room, Changmu Xiu stood not far away, ghostly: "I have already discussed with the prime minister to save Qiao Rui's life in order to contain Sun Bofu." How dare you give an order to Yu Ban to kill him? ”

"Heh", Ji Qing spoke slowly, his smile full of disdain, "Restrain Sun Bofu?" When you are the prime minister, you don't know your plans? If Qiao Rui hadn't died, you would have found a place to settle him down now, and then take that little Qiao girl to meet him?" Don't you forget, who was the one who ruined our family back then! ”

Changmu Xiu stared at Ji Qing, and his expression became colder: "Zhang Qing, it's just that your mind deceives the prime minister, I'm not stupid." Who forgot the hatred of the year and gave birth to thoughts that shouldn't be, you know better than me! This time, for the sake of you and my mother, I won't kill you, but in the future, if you dare to hurt Wan'er in the slightest, I will kill you! ”
