After a full day of marching on muddy roads and muddy water, Sun Ce's troops camped outside Tuzhong City. Da Qiao got out of the carriage, and saw from a distance that the bought stables had led the horses into the deep forest, and she looked left and right, and saw that no one paid attention to her, so she walked into the woods.

After only three or two steps of clinker, Sun Ce jumped out of nowhere, and said with a hippie smile: "Ying'er, there are many fierce beasts in the forest, maybe there are bandits and hooligans, if you want to take a walk, you might as well let me, Jiangdong Sun Lang, accompany you?" ”

Seeing that Sun Ce did not shy away from pulling and pulling in front of many soldiers, Da Qiao hurriedly pushed his hand away: "You, the commander of the army, why don't you know how to avoid suspicion?" Aren't you afraid that your subordinates will tell you that you have a habit of breaking your sleeves? ”

Sun Ce tilted his head and said with a wicked smile: "What is the dragon Yang, I only dragon you." Ying'er, are you still angry with me? You can also dissipate your anger, let's talk about ourselves. ”

Da Qiao couldn't pull Sun Ce, and he was afraid of provoking people's eyes, so he had to go to the forest with him. After a few steps, the smile on Sun Ce's face faded away, and he hesitated: "Ying'er, I know you're worried about your father, but you also think about it, Yuan Shu is so aggressive, if I don't form an alliance with Cao Cao, what should I do?" ”

These words, the two of them tossed back and forth like a stone mill, and they had discussed it many times, but they couldn't explain the reason at all, and it would only increase the sadness and annoyance, Da Qiao hung his head and was silent, and did not answer Sun Ce's words. She could understand his suffering, but she could not stand side by side with him, and now that she had decided to leave quietly, she should put an end to this obsession.

Sun Ce didn't know what Da Qiao was thinking, he just thought she was bowing her head and thinking: "Ying'er, since the day we met, I have always wanted to avenge my father's death, and you have always wanted to protect General Qiao." Now that Cao Cao is in this matter, you will definitely think that the two of us have a repulsive position. But don't forget, I am also your man, and protecting you and your father is as important to me as revenge for my father's death. No matter what, I won't threaten your father's safety in order to achieve my goals. ”

Sun Ce's words were very sincere, Da Qiao only felt that the rock in his heart moved slightly, but he quickly stopped: "I don't mean to blame you, and you don't have to take my father's safety on your own......"

"Do you really have to dig out my heart before you can believe me? Ying'er, there are many things I can't explain to you, but I really have a plan, so that Cao Cao will not dare to touch your father. You'll find out in a few days, so you'll give me some time and let me prove everything, okay? ”

In a few days, Sun Ce's troops will arrive at the Yangtze River crossing, and according to his agreement with Changmu Xiu, Cao Cao will definitely send troops to attack Xuzhou. Since his father is the number one general under the command of the Yuan family, he will definitely go into battle, the sword has no eyes, and Sun Ce is hundreds of miles away, even if he has the heart, he is powerless. Da Qiao understands that Sun Ce has a deep affection for him, why shouldn't she treat him? But born as a human being, there will always be some obsessions, she forced down the bitterness in her heart, pretended to be shy, and said to Sun Ce: "Don't think nonsense, I came to the forest by myself to change clothes, you Baba come with me, how can I be good?" You turn away and don't peek. ”

Da Qiao soaked in the army all day long, showing people in men's clothes, it was indeed inconvenient, Sun Ce did not suspect fraud, and turned around honestly with a red face. Da Qiao saw Sun Ce take the bait, the cat walked away lightly, and when she reached the back of the tree, she galloped wildly, untied the reins and turned over, and rode away along the jungle path.

Sun Ce turned his back, not knowing that Da Qiao had left, and still confessed in a deep voice: "Ying'er, it won't be too long, we will go to Jiangdong." By then, you'll know what I've done for General Joe. I don't ask you to believe unconditionally, I just want you not to leave me......"

A horse neighing interrupted the comfortable birdsong in the forest, Sun Ce looked back smartly, only to find that Da Qiao had run away, he hurriedly called Da Wanju with a whistle, turned over and chased after him.

Da Qiao didn't expect that she had already ridden her horse to run so far, but she was still easily caught up by Sun Ce, she gritted her teeth and leaned over, clamped the horse's belly with her legs, and whipped the horse with all her strength.

But ordinary war horses can't compare to Da Wanju after all, how can Da Qiao's riding skills be compared with Sun Ce? In the blink of an eye, Sun Ce caught up with Da Qiao and said with a wicked smile: "You girl, you are gentle and well-behaved on weekdays, right?" Playing wild, even crazier than Shang Xiang! Where are you going? You won't ride alone, you have to go to Xuzhou, right? ”

He was so tired that he was out of breath, but Sun Ce still had the strength to speak? Da Qiao was very unwilling, but he could only watch him step on the stirrup and jump onto his horse.

Evil laughter and warm breathing appeared in his ears at the same time, Da Qiao opened his body, but he was still firmly held in Sun Ce's arms, and he got a outrageous voice from himself: "You little wild cat, you can also ride horses, it seems that I need to find a few more people to watch you." ”

Halfway up the mountain, the sound of the wooden flute echoed in the valley, Zhou Yu couldn't tell whether what he heard was Xiao Qiao's blowing or echoing, he ran to the cliff like crazy, and before he could stand firmly, he saw thousands of strange birds rising from the bottom of the valley like black clouds, Huo Ran dispersed, but did not attack him again for half a minute, but as if he had been ordered, they all flapped their wings and flew to the north.

Zhou Yu didn't care about his doubts, leaned over the edge of the cliff and looked down, at sunset, the mountains were in full bloom, Zhou Yu looked closely, and finally saw that there was a stone platform extending not far below the cliff, and the grass was growing on it, and Xiao Qiao was falling on it. Zhou Yu didn't have time to estimate the height, so he jumped down, and when he landed, he realized that the height was far beyond what his body could bear, and after a moment of numbness in his legs and feet, there was a sharp pain in his heart. But he didn't care about the injury, struggled to Xiao Qiao's side, and his bony hand probed into her snort, and when he saw that she was still breathing, he was greatly relieved, unloaded his strength, and gasped for breath.

The long sword was lost, and the short knife also had more than ten gaps, but fortunately, the arrow was still in his arms, Zhou Yu hugged Xiao Qiao tightly, and said lightly: "Hold on, we will be able to go out soon", and then stepped forward and bent the bow, and an arrow shot through the sky.

Outside Tuzhong City, Sun Ce drove Da Qiao back on the same road, and when he reached the bend in the forest, he walked around twice and stopped ahead. Seeing his solemn expression, Da Qiao suddenly became vigilant in his heart: "What's the matter?" ”

Sun Ce replied in a low voice, "There are assassins. ”

Before the words fell, a tall and a short black-clothed masked man flew down from the top of the tall and towering tree crown, holding a long knife and a short blade, and pressed forward step by step. Sun Cefei dismounted, protected Da Qiao behind him, and shouted, "Who are you!" Why ambush General Ben here! ”

The two did not speak, but left and right bows to Sun Ce, merciless, Sun Ce fought with his bare hands, a few rounds, he retreated from the horse, raised his hand and said: "Today, my Sun Bofu did not bring a sword, and was ambushed by the two of you, and there is nothing to say." It's just that this little brother is just a small official under my command, and he has no grievances with you, if you let her go, I will be arrested and let you deal with it, how about it? ”

At such a critical juncture, Sun Ce was only concerned about Da Qiao's safety, as if even the two assassins were moved, but Da Qiao didn't react, just looked the two up and down with a puzzled face: "Team Jiang rate? Weekly team rate? ”

The two assassins were shocked for a moment, but the short man reacted, pointed his long sword at Da Qiao, and said viciously: "I don't know the person you said, who are you calling!" ”

Hearing his accent, Da Qiao turned his head and looked directly at Sun Ce next to the horse: "Sun Lang......"

In this situation, Da Qiao didn't need to question, just by calling in a soft voice, Sun Ce was ashamed of himself, and he couldn't tell half a lie anymore. Sun Ce only felt his face flushed, pointed at the assassin in front of him and scolded loudly: "I said you two fools, I asked you to find a few competent people to dress up, why did you come by yourself...... Are you trying to me off? Yes? ”

Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai saw that the matter was revealed, glanced at each other, lifted their masks, and said aggrievedly: "The young general said that he wanted to find a reliable person, where is there someone more reliable than the two of us......"

Although this plan is clumsy, Sun Ce wants to prove that under the crisis, he would rather sacrifice himself than protect Da Qiao, and the clinker does not become an anti-dog, and now Da Qiao's distrust of him is only afraid of a few more points, Sun Ce is angry, and he wants to scold again, but he suddenly heard a strange sound in the sky.

Everyone looked intently, only to see thousands of birds coming together, covering the sky and the sun, and everywhere they went, they instantly fell into darkness. After hovering overhead for several weeks, they called out their friends and slammed their bodies into sharp arrows, like flying arrows.
