Chapter 19: A Thousand Shots (1)

Outside Shucheng, the water is ten miles away, Xiao Qiao stands by Chaohu Lake, tears like beads sprinkled. The birds and flowers see the beauties whimpering, fluttering their wings and frightening, and the fragrance is falling, which is very suitable for the scene.

Xiao Qiao didn't have the heart to watch carefully, and he was worried. She knew what Zhou Yu was like to her, and she never expected him to have affection for her. But that voice of "Wan'er" did make her have a little unrealistic fascination, and now she woke up from a dream, but it was just a misunderstanding, and she was full of melancholy.

But she knew in her heart that even if she didn't have those few "Wan'er", she would still risk her life to test the medicine for Zhou Yu. Playing Xiaochang in the military camp, she has long been accustomed to the cold and cold of the world: if her father wins the battle, the two sisters will be able to live a stable life for a few days; If they lose, they will be cold-eyed. Therefore, she loves to wear men's clothes, practice martial arts diligently, and have a strong nature, all in order to protect her sister and find a place to live in troubled times.

But Zhou Yu is different from others, he does not cling to his father's official rank, does not covet his sister's beauty, treats people honestly and frankly, he can't help but be attracted to him, cardamom is in his prime, love is just beginning, and it is inevitable, it is really no wonder to him, nor to blame himself.

Xiao Qiao raised his hand, wiped the tears from his face, and got up to walk back. In any case, she didn't want Big Joe to worry.

Suddenly, there was a sound of horses riding by the roadside, and Xiao Qiao was excited and hurriedly hid in the bushes on one side.

The man riding the horse gradually approached, and it was Han Dang. Xiao Qiao walked out of the bushes and shouted, "General Han! ”

When Han Dang saw Xiao Qiao, he hurriedly reined in his horse and turned over: "Why is Miss Xiao Qiao here?" Didn't my young general send you back to Anhui City? ”

Hearing Han Dang's question, Xiao Qiao couldn't help but think of the strange birds on the lakeside that day, and his heart trembled. Han Dang saw that Xiao Qiao's face was not good, and he was very anxious: "Miss Xiao Qiao, what's wrong?" Could it be that something happened to the major general? ”

Xiao Qiao rubbed his eyes, barely squeezed out a smile, shook his head and said, "It's okay, Zhou Gongjin is infected with the cold, Sun Bofu and his sister are accompanying him, and they are all in Lukang Mansion right now." ”

Han Dang was stunned, and secretly shouted bad things in his heart: "This is terrible!" ”

This puzzled was replaced by Xiao Qiao: "What's wrong?" ”

Xiao Qiao is Qiao Rui's daughter, and there is nothing to deceive, Han Dang took out the letterbox behind him, and said helplessly: "General Yuan ordered the young general to lead the troops to attack Lujiang Taishou Lu Kang, and also let General Qiao support him on the flank." An hour ago, the 20,000 army had arrived in Lu'an, and I hurried here to deliver a message to the young general, but I didn't expect him to be at Lu Kang's house, this ......"

Xiao Qiao was also taken aback, and immediately understood the seriousness of the situation, she spread her hands and said to Han Dang: "General Han, you are the general of the Yuan army, if you appear in the Lu Mansion, it will definitely arouse Lu Kang's suspicion." If you can trust me, give me this letterhead. I'll go back to Lu Mansion now and bring them all out." ”

Han Dang hesitated for a moment and sighed: "What you said is reasonable. Come, get on the horse, we need to get everyone out of the city before Lu Kang's messenger arrives at the Lu Mansion. ”

In Lu Fuzhong, Da Qiao recooked a new pair of medicines, brought them into the side room, and handed them to Sun Ce. Seeing Da Qiao's displeasure, Sun Ce coaxed: "Ying'er, we really don't know that your sister is outside, if we knew, we would definitely not say those words to make her angry." ”

Da Qiao glanced at Sun Ce: "You and Gongzi Zhou have known each other since childhood, how can you not even know the name of his first wife?" ”

Sun Ce hurriedly defended: "Ying'er, only when you decide to marry, you will ask for a name, what's so strange that others don't know?" Besides, Gongjin is my brother, why did I inquire about his wife's name for no reason? ”

Seeing that Da Qiao was full of displeasure, Sun Ce hurriedly gave Zhou Yu a look, who knew that Zhou Yu turned around, looked at Da Qiao and asked, "Miss Da Qiao, did Ling Mei encounter anything strange when she was young?" Or do you know some weirdos? ”

Da Qiao didn't expect Zhou Yu to ask like this, she thought for a moment and replied: "Wan'er was lost when she was a child, and her father used all his connections to find it, but she didn't find it. Who knew that after more than half a year, Wan'er came back by herself. When asked where she had been, who she had come into contact with, and who had taken her away, she said she couldn't remember. It's just that after coming back, Wan'er learned the art of stone arrows. ”

"Gong Jin, what are you asking for?" Sun Ce was very puzzled, "Could it be that the bird ......?"

"Those strange birds are indeed coming for Miss Xiao Qiao, but she is young and has no enemies, why would someone use such a vicious technique to kill her? So I speculate that it has something to do with what she experienced as a child. ”

Sun Ce nodded and responded: "Yes, if it is General Qiao's old enemy, it is impossible to target only Miss Qiao and not Ying'er......"

Suddenly, I heard someone knocking on the wooden door, Da Qiao Pian stepped forward, opened the door, and saw Lu Xun with an old man with crane hair and white beard, standing outside the door.

Seeing Da Qiao, Lu Xun arched his hand and said: "This is my grandfather, I heard that Sun Lang actually beat away Tai Shici, and I came to see him." ”

It turned out that this old man was Lu Kang, who was too much of Lujiang, Sun Ce was dressed properly, stepped forward, and saluted respectfully: "Come to the house to disturb for many days, and I haven't had time to thank you, please Lu Taishou Haihan." ”

Lu Kang shook his hand and smiled: "The two best sons and daughters in Jiangdong are in my house, and it is a great honor to be old, where is the bother?" ”

Lu Xun helped Lu Kang into the wing room, and Zhou Yu on the couch stood up and bowed: "I am infected with poison, and I am rude to Lu Taishou, I hope to forgive me." ”

Lu Kang looked Zhou Yu up and down a few times, and said with a smile: "In the end, you are still young, so you can go to the ground." ”

At the north gate of Shucheng, Han Dang put Xiao Qiao down from his horse, then took out a bamboo slip from his arms and handed it forward: "Without further ado, the news that General Qiao led his army south to Lu'an will probably reach Lu Kang soon, and we must let the young general leave this place as soon as possible, and Han will pick you up here." ”

Xiao Qiao nodded, and immediately ran down the street in the direction of Lu Fu. In the evening, when there were few pedestrians, Xiao Qiao deftly walked through the streets, as light and swift as a spring swallow. She knew very well that the messenger of the Lujiang Mansion was definitely on the way, and if she was one step late, she might trap her sister Sun Ce and Zhou Yu in fire and water.

Xiao Qiao walked out of the streets and alleys and came to the bank of the Qing River, where the Lu Mansion was on the opposite bank. Xiao Qiao took three steps and made two steps towards the stone arch bridge not far away. Who knew that the two carriages collided on the arch bridge, and the two groups of people quarreled on the bridge, and many pedestrians watched, squeezing the originally not wide bridge deck.

Don't take the arch bridge to detour, a circle is seven or eight miles, Xiao Qiao can no longer wait, rush to the carriage, step on the wheel, take advantage of the momentum to take off half a zhang, step on the arch bridge railing, brisk crossing, and landed steadily on the other side of the river.

In the Lu Mansion Wing, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were unaware of the imminent crisis. Lu Xun said with a smile: "I often hear people say that Sun Lang and Zhou Lang are extremely handsome, and it is really fortunate to see it today." It's just that I didn't expect that Sun Lang was so young and his martial arts were so good that he could beat that Tai Shi Ci away......

Sun Ce couldn't help but be a little arrogant when he was praised like this: "Is Tai Shi Ci so powerful?" How come I've never heard of it? ”

"This person is quite famous in Donglai, known as invincible, and once rode alone to rescue Beihai Taishou Kong Rong......" Lu Kang replied while looking at Sun Ce in front of him, seeing that he was thin and thin, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, he sighed in disbelief.

Sun Ce chuckled and scratched his head, and replied, "The stakes are too big, and Sun has to win." ”

Da Qiao returned from cooking tea, and when he heard this, he met Sun Ce's eyes again, and his little face turned red to the root of his ears in an instant. Sun Ce was also a little embarrassed, and turned his head to look away.

Lu Xun was a child in the end, and asked Zhou Yu reluctantly: "When I saw Zhou Lang that day, Zhou Lang had fainted and couldn't see the heroic appearance, it's a pity, if you can show your hand, ...... it."

Sun Ce immediately vetoed: "No, Gongjin's body is good, what is the show." ”

Lu Xun still refused to give up: "Didn't you say that Jiangzuo Zhoulang has amazing archery skills and is good at throwing pots......

Lu Kang stopped: "Xun'er, the guests are unwilling, how can there be a reason for persecution." ”

Lu Xun looked frustrated, and bowed: "Yes." ”

Seeing that the atmosphere was embarrassing, Zhou Yu picked up the chopsticks on the table with a smile, and threw them casually, but the chopsticks seemed to be enchanted, and fell straight into the iron kettle held by the maid outside the room.

Outside the backyard of the Lu Mansion, Xiao Qiao climbed up the towering tree and looked at the situation in the wing, only to see Sun Ce and Zhou Yu talking with a white-haired elder, and Lu Xun was sitting next to the old man, watching the tea and pouring wine for the guests.

Xiao Qiao shouted in his heart that it was not good, Lu Kang actually came to see Zhou Yu, how could this military secret letter in his hand be delivered to Sun Ce?

While he was thinking about it, there was a neighing of horses at the gate, and Xiao Qiao looked away, only to see a messenger-like man riding a horse and stopping at the front door. Xiao Qiao suddenly felt bad, and immediately jumped off the tree, and after jumping into the rockery in the courtyard, he happened to be seen by Zhou Yu, who was raising his hand to throw a pot.

Lu Kang is thrifty, so there are not many people in the backyard of Lu Mansion. If it weren't for the urgency, Xiao Qiao would definitely not have climbed over the wall for no reason, Zhou Yu thought for a while, got up and said, "I'll go to change my clothes and lose my company." ”

Under the corridor of the Lu Mansion, the messenger hurriedly walked forward in three steps and two steps, and suddenly saw a little beauty walking towards him. When the messenger saw that it was a woman, he hurriedly bowed his head and avoided it, and bowed respectfully.

Xiao Qiao blinked his eyes and said with a light smile: "This big brother, please stay." ”

"Dare to ask Miss?" The messenger was puzzled, but did not dare to raise his eyes.

Xiao Qiao smiled coquettishly and said in a brisk tone: "Grandfather is meeting guests, and he doesn't want outsiders to disturb him." If there is any urgent matter in the army, just give it to me, and I will convey it as soon as possible. ”

After hearing this, the messenger raised his eyes slightly, only to see Xiao Qiao's bright eyes and peerless appearance, and he was carried away for a while, and when he realized that he was rude, he hurriedly bowed his head and said: "It turned out to be Miss Lu, and her subordinates were rude." This letterhead is an urgent letter from the front, and I hope that Miss Lu will hand it over to Lord Taishou as soon as possible, and her subordinates will wait for orders in the front hall. ”

With that, the messenger stepped back quickly. When he was far away, Xiao Qiao took a deep breath, and hid in the shadows, she opened the letter and saw that it was indeed the movement of her father leading his troops to attack.

"If it weren't for the fact that person hadn't seen the two young ladies of the Lu family, you fake young lady would be exposed", Zhou Yu's cold voice came from behind him, and Xiao Qiao jumped up on the spot in fright.

Before he could figure out how to face him, he was already standing behind him. The military plane is unmistakable, Xiao Qiao forced himself to breathe and concentrate, and slowly turned around.
