Chapter 5 Gentlemen
It was only after the first month and a half of the first month, the cold wave had not subsided, and the east wind was still curling in the morning, but it suddenly turned cloudy in the afternoon. The winter sun is obscured by flowing clouds, dim as evening, and as the sun sets, it is as dark as late at night. The temperature plummets, the cold diffuses, and the wind and rain blow down the white plums in the corner.
Sun Ce dealt with the commander who dismissed Yuan Shu, and returned to the tent covered in mud and water, he took off his armor and took off his golden helmet, revealing a heroic face, the shallow scar on his forehead was more striking than his bright eyes.
During the year of the siege, he suffered a thousand grievances and went through many hardships, but he did not get the desired results, and he hated Yuan Shu and no longer trusted him. But he is still under Yuan Shu's account, and he has to endure the humiliation at this moment, only hoping to go to Jiangdong as soon as possible.
But Yuan Shu was destined not to let him have a good time, and the commander came here to say that Yuan Shu had agreed to his request, and only asked him to lead his troops back to Shouchun to listen to the seal.
Sun Ce didn't know what kind of fame Yuan Shu was going to make, but he was pitiful that this court official had to run to Shouchun twice in three days, which was really hard, so if he simply lived in Shouchun and served Yuan Shu to pull him down, it would also save the fatigue of traveling and traveling.
Thinking of this, Sun Ce's expression became colder by three points, Yuan Shuren was not in Shouchun, but he insisted on letting him go back to restore his life, I was afraid that it would be a Hongmen banquet. It can not be said that it is a Hongmen banquet, even if it is a Daoshan oil pot, Sun Ce has no choice. He is not afraid, and even a little excited, after all, his ambition is far from here, if he is afraid now, what else is there to end the troubled times and set the world?
Sun Ce moved his muscles and bones, dragged his tired body into the inner room, took off his clothes and prepared to take a bath. Anyway, since it is sealed, bathing and burning incense is always indispensable, Sun Cefang wanted to untie his trouser belt, and suddenly heard a sound of rustling in the outer hall, he took it for granted that the person who came should be Lu Meng, and said loudly: "Stinky boy, is it the armor you found for Ying'er today?" It's good that nothing happened to her, if something goes wrong, see if I don't break your neck! Bring me the two buckets of hot water outside, and I'll tell you something. ”
The rustling in the outer hall suddenly stopped, and the man staggered and nearly tripped. This kind of skill is definitely not Lu Meng, Sun Ce's eyes were sharp, and the group jumped out, like lightning and flint, and in an instant, he knocked the man down and pressed him to the ground.
Full of nephrite warm fragrance, and the breath of Lan Gui between his mouth and nose, Sun Ce was stunned on the spot, and said, "Ying'er? How are you? ”
At the same time, Lu Meng staggered outside the tent of the Chinese army, looking depressed. Early this morning, Da Qiao came to look for him and wanted to borrow a suit of armor, but he borrowed it without thinking about it. As a result, it didn't take long for Han Dang to call him for a scolding and let him go to Sun Ce's tent to apologize.
Lu Meng was reluctant in every way, and he didn't come until dark, and when he lifted the curtain, he saw Sun Ce pressing on Da Qiao shirtless, and Da Qiao's slender jade hand was still caressing Sun Ce's tight chest, and the scene was quite fragrant.
Lu Meng's sentence of "young general" was not called, so he changed it to a loud scream. Sun Ce's face couldn't help but become even more gloomy, and he squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Get out!" ”
Lu Meng smeared oil on the soles of his feet, but his actions were a little disobedient, and he almost fell down with his feet. When Lu Meng's footsteps faded away, Sun Ce asked Da Qiao embarrassedly and shyly: "Ying'er, why are you here......
Da Qiao turned his head and didn't dare to look at Sun Ce, his little face was red as if he was dripping blood, and he was envious of the peach blossoms: "Sun Lang, let's get married......"
After learning of Li Feng's death, Zhou Yu felt that this matter was fraudulent, packed his bags, and prepared to return to the nest early tomorrow morning to continue to track down the strange bird and Huang Zu. But he didn't expect that at this juncture, Yuan Shu actually ordered Sun Ce to return to Shouchun to listen to the seal, and he didn't know what the conspiracy was.
The rain gradually turned smaller, lingering and dripping, and in the cold wind, Zhou Yu tied up his blue cloak and walked slowly forward in the sound of beating leaves through the forest. The row of camp tents was as hazy as a low hill in the dark night and drizzle, and Zhou Yu walked among them, looking around, as if he was looking for someone.
Although it has been added with firewood and oil, the bonfire in the heavy rain is still faint, and after most of the military camp, Zhou Yu came to the residence of the middle and lower soldiers, and finally found the person he was looking for, he stepped forward and arched his hand: "General Cheng." ”
As a veteran, Cheng Pu must bow down to everything, and at this time he was explaining the matter of pulling out the camp with several soldiers, he obviously didn't expect Zhou Yu to come, and he stood for a while before returning the salute: "Lord Zhou." ”
Since Cheng Pu attacked the city without authorization and committed suicide with guilt, the two of them rarely met. After all, Cheng Pu had followed Sun Jian to fight in the south and the north for many years, and he had worked hard and made great achievements, so he always had to take care of his face. Cheng Pu knew that Zhou Yu usually avoided respecting him, and when he saw him come to the door in person today, he knew that he must have something important to entrust. Cheng Pu waved his hand to signal to step back left and right, his face was neither cold nor hot: "Lord Zhou came to me, what is the matter?" ”
In the hazy rain, Zhou Yu's hair was furry, like a young eagle that had just been born: "It's inconvenient here, can you invite General Cheng to talk in my tent?" ”
Cheng Pu didn't say anything, and walked forward with his hands behind his back, Zhou Yu knew that he was agreeing, so he smiled and followed.
When it came to the tent, Zhou Yu cooked tea for Cheng Pu and offered it with both hands: "This is the tea I brought from my father, and I hope General Cheng will not dislike it." ”
Cheng Pu lowered his hand and frowned: "I'm a rough person, don't talk about this, just say what Lord Zhou has to say." ”
Zhou Yu put down the teacup and sighed lightly: "Zhou is going back to Juchao early tomorrow morning, and I want to ask General Cheng for something: when the young general returns to Shouchun to resume his life, Zhou hopes that General Cheng can accompany the young general to ......"
"Master Zhou, where do you start with this, the young general wants to be a class teacher, and we should follow."
"I mean, I hope that General Cheng will go to the camp with the young general to be entitled. If it is about rank, General Han Dang or General Zhu Zhi should follow, but in the current situation, Zhou thinks that it is very appropriate for General Cheng to accompany him. ”
Cheng Pu stared at Zhou Yu, as if he didn't understand what medicine was sold in his gourd. Zhou Yu got up and extinguished the small stove for boiling water, and asked casually, "General Cheng has been under Sun's account for nearly twenty years." ”
"Yes, I have been fighting with the old general in the south and the north, and I have been fighting against Dong Zhuo for more than 20 years."
"That being the case, General Cheng should know Yuan Shu's temperament well. This time, he easily agreed to Bo Fu's request to fight Jiangdong, and he must have doubts in his heart. Zhou must not allow the villain to take the opportunity to get in the way and destroy the plan, so he specially came to invite General Cheng out of the mountain. ”
Zhou Yu's words did make sense, but Cheng Pu became more and more incomprehensible about this strategy: "I don't know what I can do, and I ask Lord Zhou to make it clear." ”
"General Cheng doesn't have to do anything, just go with Bo Fu to be sealed. When General Sun Lao started from Jiangdong, Bo Fu was still a child, and this time he proposed to go to Jiangdong to recruit the old department, Yuan Shu would definitely think that someone was behind him to give him advice. Tomorrow morning, I will go back to the nest, and Yuan Shu's detailed work placed nearby will probably guess that Bo Fu and I will leave because of disagreement. General Cheng thinks about it, if you go to receive the title with Bo Fu at this time, what will the people in Yuan Shu's army think? ”
Cheng Pu knew it in his chest, and the person who had never been smiling pulled the corners of his mouth: "Cheng Mou understands, Lord Zhou wants me to play the veteran who confuses the young master, so that everyone under Yuan Shu's account thinks that the young general just listened to my nonsense, and he wants to fight Jiangdong after a moment of brain fever?" Right? ”
Zhou Yu bowed and said, "I have wronged General Cheng." ”
"If this trick works, it doesn't hurt to let Cheng play ten more times", he didn't expect that his previous conflict with Zhou Yu could help Sun Ce, Cheng Pu's long-standing blockade completely dissipated, and he agreed without hesitation.
Zhou Yu had already guessed that Cheng Pu would agree, stood up and said deeply: "Thank you, General Cheng." ”
Originally, there was a gap with Zhou Yu, but now that he is dedicated to planning for Sun Ce, there is nothing else, and Cheng Pu can't help but treat him politely: "Cheng Mou will leave first, and Lord Zhou will have a smooth journey." ”
After speaking, Cheng Pu got up and strode away, and Zhou Yu went out of the account to send him off. In the rainy night, Zhou Yu inadvertently caught a glimpse of a beautiful woman wearing a frost-colored skirt and a single dress, standing far away at the fence, holding a sky lantern in her hand.
Zhou Yu's eyes darkened, and without thinking about it, he stepped forward, took off his cloak and put it on her shoulder: "Why is Miss Little Qiao here?" With such heavy rain, how can the body withstand it? ”
Xiao Qiao turned around, his little face was white from the cold, but the tip of his nose was red, and he looked like he had just cried. Zhou Yu didn't see her crying a lot, but he had never seen her so sad, and her tone was a little softer: "What's wrong?" ”
Xiao Qiao swallowed tears and pretended to be happy, and shook his head slightly: "I...... I'm making a wish, hoping that my sister and Sun Bofu can eventually become married......"
Zhou Yu made up her mind: "Miss Da Qiao is going to find Bo Fu." ”
Xiao Qiao raised his little face, frowned and said, "Is this what you call the perfect method?" ”
"In these troubled times, even the princes and nobles can't take care of the courtesy, let alone us ordinary people? Bo Fu and Da Qiao are in love, and your father and Bo Fu's mother also agree, so why not? ”
Xiao Qiao looked at Zhou Yu in a daze, and said, "If it were you, would it be the same?" ”
"Me?" Zhou Yu turned his head, as if there was a lover he couldn't touch at the end of the canopy, staring at him with affection, "I won't let go more than Bo Fu." ”
Xiao Qiao's heart was sour, Mu Mu nodded, and even beckoned a string of long tears, Yingying threw like a pearl: "They have walked so many ways, how to treat each other, I see it in my eyes...... I'm actually happy that my sister can stay with the person I like, but for some reason, I can't stop crying......"
Zhou Yu took out a silk handkerchief and gently wiped away Xiao Qiao's tears: "Even if Miss Da Qiao marries Bo Fu, you will not lose your sister, but it is equivalent to having Bo Fu and me, the two brothers." Miss Da Qiao cherishes you so much, if she knew that you were crying like this, I don't know how sad I would be. ”
Listening to Zhou Yu's sentence of "brother", Xiao Qiao didn't mention how cold she was, although she never said it explicitly, her little heart was revealed. Is Zhou Yu really reckless and unaware, or is he pretending to be stupid and unwilling to face it? Although the two were close to each other, Xiao Qiao couldn't see through his thoughts: "I heard...... You're leaving early tomorrow morning? ”
Zhou Yu and Sun Ce grew up together, and they often came and went for a long time, and the two of them had long been accustomed to it, but they didn't expect Xiao Qiao to be so sad. But Zhou Yu couldn't say well, when will the next time we meet, not to mention that Xiao Qiao is growing up, her little mind is like a pearl overflowing in the dark night, so precious, but he can't respond, he can only watch her roll down tears and wet the shark silk.
Seeing that Zhou Yu was silent for a long time, Xiao Qiao thought that he had committed his taboo, so he hurriedly sobbed a few times, and held back his tears and smiled: "By the way, a few days ago, my sister took me to burn incense, and I remembered that the broken temple where I was abducted when I was a child was not dedicated to the Buddha and Bodhisattva, but some strange clay sculptures were offered......"
Zhou Yu's eyes lit up: "Do you remember what those clay sculptures look like?" ”
"I don't remember really, I was too young at the time, I just knew that it was different from what I saw in ordinary temples."
All the clues are like a mirror, and people have no clue, but Zhou Yu has made up his mind that he will peel off the cocoon and reveal the truth: "I'm tired of Miss Xiao Qiao, if you think of something, send a letter to me at any time." ”
At such a point, Xiao Qiao knew that the separation was in front of her, she didn't want to hide her thoughts anymore, but she was embarrassed to say it directly, and said, "Look over there, someone lit a sky lantern." ”
Zhou Yu subconsciously looked in the direction that Xiao Qiao was pointing, but he saw that there were people in the darkness at night, let alone any sky lanterns. Just as he was wondering, Xiao Qiao suddenly stood on tiptoe, blushed, kissed him lightly on the cheek, and then blinked and disappeared as if he had fled.
The rain was messy, and Zhou Yu was even more dazed, if he wasn't still holding a silk handkerchief in his hand, he was afraid that he would think he was dreaming. The cold wind blew and the cheeks hurt, but the place where Xiao Qiao kissed was soft and warm.
Zhou Yu turned around uncomfortably, but he never wiped it, he raised his eyes to look at the vast night, the raindrops fell densely in the clear eyes, but it washed his heart. It's spring again, and everything seems to be different from before, so where should he go?
In the Chinese military tent, Sun Ce listened to Da Qiao's words, only to feel that the blood all over his body instantly surged to his head. Da Qiao saw that he was stunned and didn't move, and whispered, "Can you get up first......
Only then did Sun Ce realize that he was still naked and pressed against Da Qiao, he hurriedly got up and scratched his head uncomfortably: "Yes, I'm sorry, Ying'er, I thought it was Amon ......"
Da Qiao straightened his messy clothes and sideburns, and hung his head silently. The two sat stiff like this for a long time, and Sun Ce hesitated to break the deadlock: "Ying'er just said...... Want to marry me? ”
Da Qiao still didn't dare to look at Sun Ce, and shyly handed over the burden behind him: "This is the clothes my father prepared for you, and it should be a gift for you." ”
Sun Ce thought to herself, Da Qiao must be so abnormal because he was worried that he would lose his life by Yuan Shu's calculations, but did she understand what it meant to say such things in front of a young man with strong blood?
Sun Ce straightened up, looked down at the little person who was as delicate as a flower, raised his hand to rub her little face like condensed fat and jade, and asked in a dumb voice, "Ying'er, do you understand what you mean?" ”
Da Qiao didn't answer, but he saw Sun Ce kiss her suddenly, hugged her by the waist with both hands, walked to the inner room, and put her on the couch without saying anything, and bullied her down.
At this time, Sun Ce was different from ever, strong and domineering, his kiss fell densely on Da Qiao's thin lips, cheeks and slender neck, Da Qiao couldn't help but panic, and had to push his tight chest as iron. But Sun Ce didn't mean to stop, he raised his hand and pulled it, and pulled Da Qiao's hand. Da Qiao only felt a chill in her chest, and tears splashed out instantly, although she had already thought about it, she didn't care about being polite, and she was fighting to stay with Sun Ce in this life, but he really scared her like this.
Sun Ce found that Da Qiao was crying in fright, and hurriedly stopped his movements, just now he really wanted to scare her, but at this time, he was really confused. He struggled to his feet, stiffened and sneered, "Are you scared?" ”
Da Qiao was stunned for a moment, and then his face was full of anger: "Do you know how determined I am to come here to find you, and you tease me like this!" ”
Sun Ce lay down, firmly encircled Da Qiao in his arms, and said with a hippie smile: "Where am I teasing you, I just want you to know that getting married is not just talking...... Ying'er, are you worried about my ban tomorrow when you're like this? ”
Da Qiao was poked in the heart, his expression turned to anger and worry, and his eyes were full of fear: "Sun Lang, I'm ...... Scared ......"
Da Qiao has a gentle and stubborn temperament, and is quite bold, that day in the Dabie Mountain Valley, he was not afraid of the Shanyue bandits and Tai Shici, but today because he said that he was afraid, Sun Ce's eyes fluttered, and the sweetness and sourness in his heart swelled up: "So you came to me and wanted to marry me?" Have you ever thought about what you would do in your life if I really had a good tomorrow? ”
Da Qiao's lips trembled, but his tone was unwavering: "I don't regret it." ”
Sun Ce tightened Da Qiao tighter, and said with infinite pity: "You are so stupid, those old horsemen under Yuan Lao'er's account can't hurt me." Getting married is a big deal, I can't just talk about it, I can't marry in the media, and I can't ask you so hastily...... Ying'er, this is a lifelong thing, I hope that when we are old, we can still have good memories, instead of me taking advantage of you, do you understand? ”
Da Qiao didn't seem to understand, but Sun Ce seemed to cherish her very much, and nodded obediently.
Unconsciously, it was late at night, Sun Ce pulled out the brocade quilt on the couch and said to Da Qiao: "It's raining too much outside, let's rest here tonight...... I won't touch you. ”
Da Qiao blinked, his expression was a little hesitant, Sun Ce understood her concerns, picked up the burden on the ground, took out the dirty clothes and put them on: "Let me try the clothes that my father-in-law prepared for me, but they still fit." ”
Da Qiao wrapped himself tightly in the quilt and turned around, but his heart couldn't stop beating.
The drizzle outside the curtain was still murmuring, Sun Ce tied the curtain up, extinguished the oil lamp, and then gently lay down beside Da Qiao.
This girl was obviously scared to death, but now she fell asleep in a blink of an eye. Sun Ce looked at Da Qiao's quiet sleeping face, and laughed at himself: tonight he was even more powerful than Liu Xia Hui, and he really endured it and didn't do anything. With such a big beauty on the couch, I don't know if it's a tyrannical thing?
Sun Ce let out a long sigh, sat up again, and was stunned in the night. Although he is conclusive about Da Qiao, he really has no bottom in his heart, if there is fraud in the matter of being sealed, how can he get out?
Hengzhu couldn't sleep tonight, and the water in the bathtub was cold, so he simply let him take a cold shower and calm down a little.
