Chapter 21: The Way Home
Qiao Wan was suspicious: "Why is General Xu Chu not at the all-army banquet at this time?" ”
Xu Chu took out the token and showed it to her, and said again: "The lord gave me to take care of myself, please Miss Qiao pack up and come with me."
Although Qiao Wan had many doubts in his heart, he was Cao Cao's henchman after all, and with Cao Cao's token in his hand, he must have just done what he was told.
Qiao Wan answered, quickly packed his luggage and followed him.
There was already a carriage parked outside the tent, and after Qiao Wan only got up, Xu Chu personally drove the car, crossed the army that was feasting, and galloped straight to the south.
Xu Chu galloped in the thick of the night, and the surroundings were deserted. The doubts and panic in Qiao Guan's heart became stronger and stronger, she lifted the curtain of the car and asked loudly, "Where is the general going to take me?"
Xu Chu replied impatiently while driving the carriage quickly: "The lord has an order, let me send you back to Jiangdong."
Qiao Wan was stunned for a moment, and then his heart began to beat wildly.
She had to admit how happy and expectant she was when she heard the word Jiangdong, all her old people were there, her brother Ziming, her Xun'er, and the first man who came to her mind, the gentle and ruthless man.
Her heart, unable to lie, was there jumping and trembling, excited by what was to come, and unable to hold herself. Obviously, my heart will tremble, and I am so looking forward to seeing that person again.
It turned out to be never forgotten.
She no longer answered, and was immersed in the anticipation and joy of reunion. But slowly, her reason began to turn, and she suddenly realized why Cao Cao made this decision......
He was out of rations. Tomorrow will be a battle of life and death. If you win, you will not be able to come to the pole, and the nine turns will be successful; If you lose, you will have no way to retreat, and you will be shrouded in grass.
At this critical moment of life and death, you still think about my safety, and you still have to take care of me.
I have been displaced all my life, how fortunate am I to be held in the palm of your hand and regarded as a treasure? I can't get what I love, so why should I live up to your sincerity? I want to return to Jiangdong, how can Jiangdong tolerate the next Qiao Guan? If it's the same situation when I go back, will he stab me again?
Thousands of complex emotions came to my heart at once. Eventually, she slowly removed the red jade bracelet from her wrist.
Koto will be regarded as an old dream from now on.
She pulled the curtain and said firmly: "General Xu Chu, please send me back to Guandu." ”
After many days of trekking, Zhou Yu finally came to Xuchang City.
Cao Cao led most of the troops to Guandu, leaving only Xun Yu and Guo Jia to lead thousands of soldiers and horses to stay in Xuchang, the city seemed extremely empty, if someone took the opportunity to sneak attack, it would definitely be able to end Cao Cao's nest in one fell swoop.
It's a pity that Jiangdong has just encountered turmoil, the old master has just passed away, the new lord's foundation is unstable, and the dark tide in the DPRK and China is surging, so it is not suitable for war. Otherwise, how could he have missed this opportunity......
Zhou Yu took Zhou Ping and them to the inn to stay first, so that they could recuperate and heal their injuries, everyone knew that he was anxious, and he didn't dare to delay, so he hurried to Xuchang with his injuries. Zhou Yu was restless, and came to Xuchang City to inquire without eating.
He went straight to Guo Jia's Mansion to inquire about the guards there, but the walls of Guo Jia's Mansion were extremely high, and the guards were also very strict, so he wouldn't be able to get in for a while.
He knew that the more he couldn't mess around at this time, he decided to go to the restaurant opposite Guo's Mansion to have a meal first, and find someone to inquire by the way.
He came to Tianxianglou, the largest restaurant in the neighborhood, and chatted with Xiao Er while ordering.
"I heard that there are two extremely beautiful beauties living in this Guo Mansion, I don't know if the rumors are true or not?" He asked with a feigned flirtation.
Xiao Er was instantly interested, put the towel on his shoulder, and explained to him hand and foot.
"Ouch, you really asked the right person, there is a beautiful woman in this Guo Mansion, and that is still from me. Three months ago, a carriage stopped in front of Guo Jia's mansion, and when I was passing by the door on the street to get vegetables, I saw a very beautiful woman getting out of the carriage. Zhou Yu coughed, and he continued: "She hurriedly entered the Guo Mansion, and later ...... Later, in fact, I secretly watched on the other side every day, and she never appeared again. ”
Zhou Yuwu pondered to himself, three months ago, it should have been Qiao Wei, but listening to this guy's meaning, in the past three months, whether it was Qiao Wei or Qiao Wan, they had not entered or left here. Did they come in and out late at night, or did Qiao Wan really not come here? If she wasn't here, where would she be? Or is it ......
The guy saw that he was worried, and hurriedly relieved: "Guest officer, you have an extraordinary appearance, and there is no shortage of beauties around you when you think about it, this is the love of the military advisor sacrificing wine, this is a bit big, you still dispel this idea, and walked out of this street to the north, there is a red-sleeved house opposite, and the beauties in it are also a must."
Zhou Yu hurriedly covered the sad face below, and said with a smile: "In this way, thank you guys for reminding me, I am really dazed, and I didn't know that the opposite side was actually the mansion of the dignified military advisor sacrificing wine."
Xiao Er laughed, "Listen to the guest officer, your accent is not like a local, it's not strange if you don't know, this is Prime Minister Cao Cheng's base camp, and this military advisor sacrifices wine Guo Jiana is a first-class celebrity in front of Prime Minister." ”
Zhou Yu said tentatively: "Then can this Guo sacrificial wine usually be in the mansion?"
Xiao Er heard that he had come to inquire deliberately, so he immediately lowered his face and pursed his lips meaningfully.
Zhou Yu took out a silver ingot from his arms and handed it to him, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry that you have said so much, I don't want to go, I will give you a little money to buy tea and drink."
The little er's eyes immediately released a fine light, grabbed the silver, and laughed wildly, "Guest officer, you are so polite, that Guo Saijiu is idle, and he runs out two times in three days, but there is no rule, sometimes he comes back in a few hours, sometimes he doesn't come back for several days, as long as you find a good time, you won't bump into him." Xiao Er covered his mouth and snickered.
Zhou Yu knew that he was a broken-mouthed person, for fear that he would ruin his own big thing, so he threw him a piece of silver, and scared him: "If you dare to talk about this matter to a third person, I will cut off your head with a knife."
Xiao Er was so excited that he was about to cry, and nodded vigorously: "Don't dare, I won't say half a word if I sew my mouth to death."
Zhou Yu ate something casually, and hurried back to the inn to plan his next move. No matter what, no matter whether the person inside was Qiao Wei or Qiao Guan, he had to explore the Guo Mansion and find out.
