On the first day of the fifth month, Wu Jun sent an urgent letter - Sun Ce was assassinated while hunting in Dantu and died.

When he received this letter, Zhou Yu didn't believe it, and sent his guards to Wu County, thousands of miles away, to confirm the news. But for several days, he was suspicious and had trouble sleeping. Three days later, the people sent by Guotai from Wu County arrived at Poyang Lake to pass on a message to the generals and summoned Zhou Yu to come back quickly to mourn.

Zhou Yu's whole person was almost unstable, and for a while his heart was torn like a thousand arrows piercing his heart, he sat down in front of the desk dejectedly, and replied without possession: "Zhou Yu took the order."

Brother, last time I said goodbye in a hurry, you said that you would wait for me to come back and then talk all night; Brother, you and I have overcome obstacles and slept at night, and Jiangdong has just been stabilized; Brother, I haven't had time to tell you that I'm about to marry a new wife......

Why is the heavens jealous? How does creation make people?

Zhou Yu hurriedly arranged tomorrow's itinerary, hurriedly returned home, locked in the study alone, crying silently. In the evening, several lieutenants came to visit, and Qiao Wan personally went to receive them.

Lu Meng hadn't seen her for a long time, and at this glance, he only felt that her eyebrows were childish, calm and elegant, and she was already hired with a variety of styles. Several lieutenant generals were even more shocked and didn't come back to their senses for a long time, it turned out that the general didn't like women, and the women that the general liked had to be beautiful like this.

Qiao Guan bowed to them and said respectfully, "I don't know what is the big deal with the generals' late-night visit?"

Lu Meng said worriedly: "The subordinates are afraid that the general will make a wrong decision in a trance, and it is a taboo to go to the funeral of the soldiers, the lord was assassinated, Jiangdong is now leaderless, Wu Jun was originally a small army, and the general's move may cause a lot of criticism."

Qiao Wan pondered for a while, and said eloquently: "First, the lord has not yet established Chu, and secondly, there is no virtuous and respected person in Wu County, and the country is too eager to call the general back to preside over the overall situation, presumably at this time Wu County has been in chaos like a plate of scattered sand, and the general personally led the army back to Wu County, just to stabilize the current situation."

Lu Meng pondered her words carefully, and felt that it was reasonable, but he still asked, "Is this also what the general meant?"

Qiao Wan said seriously: "Yes."

Lu Meng arched his hand and said: "Since this is the case, then the subordinates will not bother and leave."

Qiao Wan looked at him with concern: "General, take care."

Lu Meng smiled at her, "Madame, stay here." ”

After sending everyone away, she came to the door with freshly cooked bird's nest porridge and tea, and said cautiously: "Zhou Lang, Guan'er knows that you feel uncomfortable, but you can't stop eating or drinking, you can't boil your body, this is Guan'er's own bird's nest porridge, you can eat a little bit......

In the middle of the night, there was a stirring from inside, and he opened the door, took the food in her hand, and stood there in a daze.

There was no light in the room, and his silhouette was all swallowed up in the darkness, Qiao Wan sighed secretly, went in the dark and lit the lamp, and came to the door again, took the board in his hand, gently placed it on the desk, and poured him full of tea.

Zhou Yu stood at the door, staring blankly at the starry sky, he was not a general tonight, just the young man from Shucheng, just his virtuous brother. He asked, "Is there any wine?"

When Qiao Wan heard this, he moved a wine jar from the kitchen, poured a bowl, pondered for a while, and poured another bowl. She held the wine jar, looked at his lonely back, felt distressed, and said softly: "The food and wine are ready, Guan'er will pack up first, and she will leave tomorrow, husband...... Let's rest early......"

Zhou Yu turned around and saw her standing there holding the wine jar at a loss, and forcibly pulled out a smile and said, "I know, thank you, madam."

Qiao Wan had never seen him look so sad and depressed. She saw his cover-up, held back her sadness and distress, walked to the door and wiped her body with him, and said, "I'll go down and clean up first, you ...... Remember to eat. "Zhou Lang, I understand your sadness, and I won't bother you.

"Guan'er." He stopped her, "Don't worry about me. "After tonight, he is still the general of Soochow.

She stopped and said, "I know your pain." He walked away quickly. She is also a person who has lost her loved ones, how can she not understand what kind of pain it is, how many midnight dreams when the liver and intestines are broken, the only thing she can do is to live well, and the deceased will be at ease. Zhou Lang, have you ever understood?

On the carriage back, Zhou Yu took a nap on the side, and Zhou Xun saw that Qiao Wan was depressed, so he wanted to make her happy.

"Mother, can Xun'er tell you a joke?" He blinked and whispered.

"Okay."

"Someone has two pairs of shoes. One morning, he went out with two shoes on his left foot. On the way, someone reminded him, 'You're wearing the wrong shoes.' When he heard this, he hurried home to change his boots. So he went home and went out with two other shoes, and the other people wondered, 'Why are you wearing the wrong shoes again?' and he said, 'You have changed, and both pairs of shoes are wrong at home!' ’”

Qiao Wan almost didn't laugh out loud, looked at the sleeping Zhou Yu, rubbed Zhou Xun's little face and said with a smile: "We Xun'er are so able to speak at a young age, so what will happen when we grow up?"

Zhou Xun fell into her arms and said coquettishly: "When Xun'er grows up, I will marry a daughter-in-law who is as good-looking as my mother."

Qiao Wan said helplessly: "Okay, okay, my mother will personally help you check it in the future, okay?"

"Good!" Zhou Xun lay in her arms, and after a while, he said worriedly: "Mother, Xun'er is also sleepy."

She stroked his little head, and her eyes were gentle: "Sleep, my mother will hold you."
