Chapter 45: The Expedition

After the meal, Zhou Yu checked Zhou Xun's homework as usual, and took Qiao Wan back to the room.

"I'm going on a journey tomorrow." He took her hand and said reluctantly.

Qiao Wan was stunned for a moment, and lowered his eyes gloomily.

"Li Shu disobeyed the king's order and openly accepted the rebellion, and the lord wanted to personally lead the troops to crusade to establish the monarch's authority."

"So you're going too?"

"The young master is on his first expedition, so I naturally want to accompany him."

Qiao Wan lowered his head, choked on a thousand words, and finally only said, "Then I'll wait for you to come back." ”

Zhou Yu's heart tightened, and he took her into his arms, "After the situation settles down for a while, I will accompany you well." He gently stroked her back.

Qiao Wan didn't think about this, "You are so tired, even if you are beaten with iron, you can't stand it......" she said aggrievedly.

Zhou Yu has just returned and is about to go on the expedition in two days, is there no one else in Jiangdong?

Zhou Yu saw that she was worried about herself, her heart warmed, and she smiled faintly: "Madame, don't worry, my body has long been adapted to such a life of crusade and westernity, but it has hurt you, so you want to follow me to get together less and leave more." ”

Qiao Wan shook his head firmly, "As long as I can be with you." "What are these distinctions?

Zhou Yu shook her hand, and then said: "I have specially arranged four strong martial arts guards for you, led by Zhou Ping, although this mansion is impregnable and safe enough, but if you are idle and want to go out, they will follow you inch by inch to ensure that you are well-thought." ”

Qiao Wan remembered what happened last time, his heart palpitated, and his head shook like a rattle: "I don't go out, I will supervise Xun'er's homework in the house, and just accompany him to read and write." ”

Zhou Yu smiled and shook his head, "I'll go, it's a month as fast, or as slow as a few months or even half a year, how can you stay in the mansion for so long-just go where you want to play, but don't go to a place that is too remote-" He couldn't bear her to stay in the mansion for so long, and he didn't worry that she would go out alone, so he could only find a few more people to protect him.

Although Qiao Wan agreed, he made up his mind in his heart and resolutely did not go out to cause trouble.

Zhou Yu explained to her the affairs of the mansion again, there are only three people in the Zhou mansion, and it is not difficult to take care of it, but he still hopes that she can learn slowly.

Qiao Wan felt that he was worried about too many things, messy state affairs, immature young masters, constant external and internal troubles, and her. She felt that she should learn a little martial arts for self-preservation, not to mention that she could beat the villains, at least she could run, so that she would not be easily captured.

She secretly made up her mind, so she swore and said: "Don't worry, husband, I will definitely take care of myself and Xun'er, and I won't let you have any worries anymore."

How could Zhou Yu understand the meaning of her words, her heart was already confused, she held her little hand and kissed and touched it, and sighed: "You haven't been by my side for so long, what should I do......"

Qiao Wan looked into his eyes and said worriedly: "You have to take good care of yourself, you are not allowed to skip meals, and if you are not feeling well, you must pass on the military doctor in timeβ€”β€”"

His lips came up, engulfing her unfinished admonitions, tossing and turning gently on her tender lips.

Qiao Wan suddenly understood what he was talking about, and his little face turned red.

After his lips and tongue curled for a while, he stopped his movements and looked at her with burning eyes, and his voice was hoarse, "What do you say?" ”

Qiao Wan blushed and said angrily: "You liar, you weren't like this before......"

"What?" He didn't quite understand what she meant.

Qiao Wan bit his lip and said stubbornly: "I have been in the army for two years, and they said that you have never even asked for a woman, general,"

"Nonsense." Zhou Yu said disdainfully.

Qiao Wan was stunned and was speechless for a moment. finally understood what it meant to lift a stone and hit herself in the foot, which made her heart feel uncomfortable.

Zhou Yu raised his eyebrows and admired the scene of the vinegar jar flying, and after a while, he said quietly: "Aren't you a woman?" ”

Qiao Wan raised his eyes and looked at him in a daze.

"Didn't you be in the army when I wanted you?" He teased her unscrupulously. I smirked at the little face that was getting redder and redder, and its head was about to fall into the dust, like a ripe red apple.

"Shy?" He lowered his voice and blew into her ear.

Qiao Wan trembled, and finally understood that he was not his opponent at all, and he still taught him the ability to seduce people.

She bit her lip and glared at him resentfully, her mind racing, thinking about how she could get back a game and save some face.

Zhou Yu saw her thoughts, chuckled, hugged her to the bed, raised her eyebrows and said, "Come, let me see how long your skills have grown?" ”

……

When I woke up the next day, it was dawn again, and the pillow was already empty. Qiao Wan sat up all of a sudden, rubbing his head in annoyance, he said last night that he would get up to see him off this morning, why did he sleep like a dead pig!

She irritated herself and took her clothes and put them on, vowing that she would develop a good habit of waking up early in the future. Suddenly I noticed that something seemed to be missing from the bedside, and when I looked closely, the pink sachet containing their knotted hair was missing, could it be that he took it away?

At the same time, Sun Quan personally led an army of 20,000 people, with Zhou Yu as his deputy general, to attack Lujiang.

Sun Quan and Zhou Yu were both dressed in military uniforms, iron armor, silver helmets, and red tasseled guns, and walked side by side in the center of the team on horseback.

The pink sachet fell out from between Zhou Yu's armor pieces, swaying with the horse's pace, making it extra conspicuous.

"Gong Jin, your sachet is so chic-" Sun Quan had already been blinded along the way, and he wanted to speak several times, but finally couldn't help but open his mouth.

I thought to myself, I'm afraid that if he didn't wear the little wife at home, he would cry and not let him go out.

"Oh, this is Madame's love object, I took it and took it with me as a thought." He said with a complacent expression.

Sun Quan tried hard not to laugh, and echoed solemnly: "I see, no wonder it looks like a woman's thing." ”

Zhou Yu nodded lightly.

Sun Quan's face twitched, he couldn't hold it back, so he turned his face away and laughed silently.

Ordinary days always pass surprisingly fast, and after a month and a half, the weather is getting colder and colder, and the leaves have all withered, leaving only the withered branches, and before you know it, it is the deep winter.

Qiao Wan had already received a letter from Zhou Yu, saying that he was all right, the battle was going well, and he would be victorious in less than a month.

She also wrote him a reply, which was nothing more than asking him to pay attention to his body, not to be too tired and not to be reckless, and asked someone to send him the winter clothes she made for him to express his thoughts and comfort.

One day, she received an invitation from Wu Wanggong, Wu Guotai was about to celebrate her birthday, and invited her to come to Wu Wanggong as a guest.

The letter also emphasized that Sun Quan and Zhou Yu were not there, and Wu Guotai did not want to stir up the public, so he just held a small family banquet, and only invited a few relatives of his family to celebrate a little.

Qiao Wan didn't want to go, as soon as Zhou Yu was not there, if she went out, she was afraid of being used and causing trouble; Second, there are bad memories of her in the Wu Palace, and she is not sure whether the people in it are good or evil.

She pondered for a moment, then wrote a sincere reply, saying that she was ill and regretted not being able to attend Guotai's birthday party. He also selected a golden silk nan wood carved ancient pine screen from the treasury, and sent someone to congratulate him on the day of the birthday banquet.
