Chapter 49: Revenge
It's the third watch, Qiao Wan is still tossing and turning and can't sleep, she has never been so helpless and afraid, I don't know how many guns and arrows there are in the future, whether she can still spend it as safely as this time. She chose to come back with Zhou Yu, and she chose this kind of life, but can she really cope with it? Will Zhou Yu turn against Wu Wanggong for her? She didn't have confidence at all.
That sword made her realize her position, and it was impossible for him to give up his fame for himself, nor to betray the country for himself. He had always been very clear about what he wanted, and the reason why he went to the north to find her was probably because of guilt and debt. And this little warmth is enough for her moth to put out the fire, regardless of the consequences.
She realized that she loved so humblely, in fact, there could be no equality between them at all, not from the beginning.
Early in the morning of the second day, Qingyu reported that Zizhu was kneeling outside the door to plead guilty.
"Let her in and talk back." Qiao Wan stopped combing, she was about to ask her for clarification.
Zizhu fell to his knees with a thud, his head clattered, and he said: "The slave is guilty, the slave is stupid, and she has fallen into someone else's tricks, causing Mrs. to be in danger, please punish Mrs."
"What the hell is going on?" Qiao Wan said coldly.
"Yesterday during the banquet, the slave maid got up to go to the small relief, on the way back met a young maid, he said that Mrs. you ordered me and him to go to the treasury to get the screen for the birthday of the country, I thought you had some special arrangements, so I followed him, who knew that the road he took me through was a remote path, on the way he suddenly turned around and knocked me on the head hard, the slave and maid lost consciousness, this morning after waking up, found that he was hidden behind the rockery." Speaking of the back, there are already a few words of crying.
Qiao Guan's heart palpitated, and he hurriedly helped her up, and asked with concern, "Did he hurt you?" She was afraid that they would not succeed, so she took Zizhu out of anger.
Zizhu didn't expect her first sentence to ask about her own safety, and she was moved in her heart, and shook her head with tears in her eyes, "No, he didn't do anything else to hurt the slave after he knocked the slave and maid unconscious, it's just that they obviously came for Madame, and the slave didn't protect you......"
All this is similar to what she expected, step by step is a trap. Even she walked in yesterday, let alone Zizhu.
"It's okay, I don't blame you."
She got up and went to the cupboard, took out a small white ceramic bottle and handed it to her, "This is specially for bruises, take it and wipe it on the wound on the head, the swelling will disappear faster." β
Zizhu stared at her in a daze, and tears welled up at once.
Qiao Wan sighed: "If you are wronged to follow me, you will encounter these things."
"The slave can follow Madame, it is a blessing from the previous life-" Zizhu took the bottle of medicine and said crying.
At this time, Qing Yu came in to report, "Madam, Princess Sun Xi came to the door with a gift to apologize in person." β
Zizhu snorted: "It's obviously the eldest princess who caused the matter, what does it mean to call the second princess to apologize?" β
Qiao Wan was really a little tired, frowned slightly and said: "If you go to reply, just say that I understand the princess's kindness, but I am not feeling well, please forgive me for not being able to see the guest, let her go back."
"Do you want to accept the gift?"
She thought for a moment, "Take it." "Otherwise, it's not over.
"No."
After many days of hard fighting, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu finally captured Lujiang City.
Zhou Yu rode into this devastated land and was heartbroken. A few months ago, it was a peaceful and peaceful scene, but after a war, the ground was littered with corpses and wreckage, half submerged in the snow, half crushed beyond recognition by soldiers and horses. The city has been set on fire, and the ruins are hanging down everywhere, or only black and hollow remains.
He couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"Duduβ" A soldier called out to him, but he stopped talking.
"What's wrong?" He grabbed the reins.
"The sentry came to report that your former residence in Shu County, General, had been burned down by Li Shu, and your ancestral tomb was alsoβ" The soldier lowered his head and did not dare to speak again.
Zhou Yu's eyes were stunned, and he was silent.
After a long time, he asked in a hoarse voice, "Are the corpses in the cemetery still there?"
The soldier bowed his head and shook his head.
Zhou Yu only felt a surge of anger in his chest, he almost couldn't breathe in one breath, his liver and intestines were broken, and his heart hurt, and he rode his horse to Shu County in the next second.
Zhou Yu's uncle heard that his former house was destroyed and his ancestral grave was dug up, and he suddenly fell seriously ill.
When Sun Quan learned of this, he was anxious and angry, and ordered someone to cut off Li Shu's head to give Zhou Yu an explanation, and went to visit Zhou Yu's uncle's family in person.
In the tent, there was a gray-sided, haggard old man lying on the top, and it was impossible to tell that he was only over fifty years old.
Mrs. Step sat on the edge of the collapse and wept, and the girl who was comforting her on the side saw that the back was the girl who splashed him with fish before.
The two young sons found Sun Quan coming in, and hurriedly got up and saluted, "Participate in the lord!" β
"Hurry up, please." Sun Quan responded, but his eyes kept staring at the back of the hired man.
The girl turned around and met his eyes, her bright, round eyes full of astonishment.
Sun Quan walked to Uncle Zhou's side and said sadly: "I am also very sad to hear about this, I have killed Li Shu, that beast that is not as good as pigs and dogs, to discourage you." I hope that uncle, you don't be too sad, take good care of your body, and I will definitely build you a new mansion. β
Uncle Zhou struggled to half-prop himself up, and replied: "I understand the good intentions of the lord, but the illness is like a mountain, and I am afraid that my old bones will be useless." β
Mrs. Bu cried: "What nonsense are you talking about, it's just a house, you hurry up and take care of your body, there is still time in the future." β
Sun Quan said: "I will build you a house on the ground of the old house that is exactly the same as before, and it will be renovated." As for the Zhou cemetery, people have been sent to repair it, and arrangements have been made for the ritual to be exceeded, so that the Zhou heroic spirit will not wander outside and have no branches to rely on. β
When everyone heard this, they were deeply pleased. Uncle Zhou was grateful and said, "Thank you, the lord, it's really hard for the lord to think so thoroughly." β
"Uncle doesn't have to see outside, Gongjin is like my own brother, Gongjin's relatives are my relatives." Sun Quan's eyes swept in her direction intentionally or unintentionally, and he saw that she was staring at one place with her head slightly bowed, and she couldn't see any expression.
"The lord is in love." Mrs. Bu also thanked.
Sun Quan looked at Uncle Zhou's two sons, who were about the same age as Gong Jin, they were all talents, and they wanted to be promoted, but when they thought about it, wouldn't Gong Jin's power be too big, so he dispelled this idea in an instant.
