It has been rainy for days, as if spring is still there, and today it is suddenly sunny, and I feel that summer is deep. The sky was polished, and the land under his feet was steaming, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu made porridge soup in the dining room and went to the tent to deliver food to Xiao Qiao.

Who knew that the tent was full of fragrance, and Da Qiao found a small red clay stove from nowhere and simmered the porridge. Seeing Sun Ce and Zhou Yu stunned at the door, Da Qiao beckoned: "What are you in a daze?" Don't come to dinner yet. ”

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu hurriedly responded, sat down in the tent, and faced each other. Xiao Qiao had heard Da Qiao talk about last night, and saw that Zhou Yu was very uncomfortable, and his whole little face was buried in the porridge bowl, revealing only two round horns, which was very cute.

Da Qiao handed the porridge to Sun Ce, and said softly: "Sun Lang, the day before yesterday, my father led the troops back to Shouchun, passed by Luyang, and found our sisters......

"I know about this, General Qiao left a note for me, but I don't know why he suddenly returned to Shouchun."

"Father is here for a secret letter, so I can't tell you. But when I was in Luyang, my father told us both the reason, and told me to find an opportunity to tell you in person. ”

Unexpectedly, Qiao Rui was so cautious and trusted himself so much, Sun Ce arched his hand and said to Da Qiao: "Thank you really General Qiao, we are besieging the city here, and we don't know anything about the rear." If something happens, I don't know how I died......

Zhou Yu was already suspicious of Qiao Rui's sudden withdrawal of troops, and he was even more anxious at this time: "Miss Da Qiao, what Ling Zun said, please tell me immediately." ”

Da Qiao said in a low voice: "Previously, Zhou Gongzi offered General Yuan as a Hun guest, saying that he could unite with Lu Bu to prevent fire in Cao Cao's backyard, but now as Zhou Gongzi expected, Cao Cao quickly returned to help and fought with Lu Bu. General Yuan expected that this was a good opportunity to attack Xuzhou, so he quickly summoned my father back. ”

"There is nothing unseemly about this matter, why did Yuan Shu deliberately hide it from me?" Sun Ce pondered for a moment, and if he realized, he said to Zhou Yu, "I'm afraid that he has found out that you Zhou Gongjin is the Hun guest, and he will be a little more wary of us......

Zhou Yu's eyes were dark, and he immediately decided: "The matter has come to this, if I stay any longer, it will definitely affect you, and I plan to leave tomorrow to return to the nest......"

Hearing what Zhou Yu said, Xiao Qiao put down the pottery bowl in his hand and blinked his eyes, as if he was looking forward to it. Who knew that Zhou Yu didn't notice her, and just tilted his head and told Sun Ce: "Bo Fu, after General Cheng is sober, you don't want to quarrel with him again, now is the time to employ people, don't be impulsive." ”

Speaking of Cheng Pu, Sun Ce suddenly felt a headache, and said with his forehead: "It's not that he's afraid of me now, it's that I'm afraid of him...... You don't have to worry, I'll do my best to handle it and not chill the soldiers. ”

Sun Ce unintentionally glanced at Xiao Qiao, seeing her pouting and a pair of apricot eyes spinning, remembering that Zhou Yu didn't mention business, he hurriedly poked him a few times secretly.

Zhou Yu smiled helplessly and said to Xiao Qiao: "Miss Xiao Qiao, can you go out these days?" ”

Xiao Qiao smiled and nodded like a chicken: "Convenient, it's convenient every day......

Sun Ce looked at Da Qiao with a smile that couldn't be hidden. Da Qiao was stunned, and his little face was red and envious of peach blossoms. Seeing that the two of them were eyebrows, Xiao Qiao realized everything, turned his head to Da Qiao and said, "Sister, you will go back to Luyang today...... No, you can just go back to Shouchun. ”

"What Shouchun is back!" Seeing that this girl actually came out with something bad, Sun Ce was angry, "Your father may want to beat Xuzhou, your sister went to Shouchun, helpless, what should I do if I am bullied!" ”

"Then go back to Luyang, you can't let my sister stay in your army, face you day and night!"

At this moment, a soldier suddenly ran in a panic and announced loudly outside the tent: "Major General, our men and horses transporting grain have been attacked in the valley of Zipeng Mountain!" ”

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu glanced at each other and immediately said, "Quick!" Take me there! ”

At noon, the poisonous sun was shining, the carriage in the valley was overturned, but the grain and grass had been looted, and there were dozens of soldiers' bodies on the ground, but the bodies of the opponents were nowhere to be seen.

Sun Ce couldn't help but wonder: "Who can rob me of grain and grass and kill more than ten of my armor soldiers, but not a single one of my own people died?" ”

Zhou Yu stepped forward to check the wounds of the corpse, and was shocked: the wounds on these people were quite similar to the wounds he had been pecked by strange birds.

Zhou Yu only felt that the blood all over his body rushed to his head, and he quickly got up and carefully examined each body. Seeing Zhou Yu like this, Sun Ce asked anxiously, "Gong Jin, what's wrong?" Is it ......?"

Finally, Zhou Yu slowly broke a soldier's clenched hand, and a black bird feather was visible in the palm of his hand, which was obviously ironclad evidence that he had fought with flocks of strange birds before his death. Zhou Yu looked at Sun Ce, and both of them gasped and didn't come back to their senses for a long time.

After thousands of calculations, I never thought that I would still fall behind the opponent. Xiao Qiao's attack, the death of the soldier and Sun Jian's ambush back then, are they all committed by the same group of people? What is their ultimate goal? Zhou Yu and Sun Ce both didn't think clearly, but they had the same idea in their hearts, that is, they couldn't delay like this, but took the initiative to attack.

Subsequently, Sun Ce ordered the dead soldiers to be registered and buried on the spot, and then ordered the news to be blocked, and the squad returned to the camp.

In the Chinese military tent, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce stood on both sides of the sand table, staring at the mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River in a daze. I don't know how long it took, Zhou Yu whispered to Sun Ce: "Bo Fu, the first time I met that strange bird was the day I first met the two girls; The second time was by Chaohu Lake, and you left only a stick of incense, and the strange bird appeared, and went straight to Miss Xiao Qiao, pecking her seriously injured; The third time was the night of the Shouchun Night Banquet, and Shang Xiang was present, and there were not many strange birds, but three or two, perhaps because they were afraid of the defenders in Shouchun City; And this is the most recent time, on the way we sent the two girls back to Wancheng, this way is hundreds of miles, we only stopped in Lu'an, and even General Han arrived at the right time. Connecting these clues one by one, don't you think that this strange bird knows the whereabouts of the two girls too clearly? ”

"What do you mean, do you ......" Sun Ce's eyes sank, and his heart suddenly pinched.

"Yes, the only people who can know the whereabouts of Miss Er Qiao in every detail are General Qiao and the people around him", Zhou Yu said this, and his heart was even more chilled.

Sun Ce clenched his fists, his bones were bulging white, and he gritted his teeth and said, "If you let me know which piece of miscellaneous it is, I will definitely break him into ten thousand pieces!" ”

Zhou Yu sighed and said in a deep voice: "Bo Fu, early tomorrow morning, I will take Miss Xiao Qiao to set off, you must protect Miss Big Qiao, and even more so protect yourself......"

I hadn't seen Zhou Yu look like this for a long time, Sun Ce smiled, but his eyes were extremely firm: "Don't worry." ”
