Chapter 29 Suspicion
Cao Cao was proudly greeting the people of Runan City in front of the car, when suddenly, Cao Ren rode a horse to his car, his brows furrowed, as if he had something urgent to report to him.
"What's going on?" Cao Cao suspiciously found the assassin's traces, and hurriedly pulled Qiao Wan into the car, while saying to Cao Ren, "You also come in to talk." ”
In the carriage, Cao Ren looked at him, then at Qiao Guan, and stopped talking.
"If you have anything to say, just say it, Madame is not an outsider." He frowned in displeasure when he saw him so grinding.
Cao Ren hesitated for a long time, but still insisted on whispering to Cao Cao: "Zhou Yu has been found in Runan City."
Cao Cao's face immediately changed, "What you said is true?" ”
"The subordinates have personally determined it, and it's true."
It seems that he is really affectionate to Qiao Guan, chasing people to his territory, and he is just right when he comes, so he is afraid that he will not come.
After pondering for a moment, Cao Cao ordered: "Immediately block the city gate, let the army rest in the city for a few hours, and you personally arrange for the capture, be sure to capture it alive." ”
He knew in his heart that if he held Zhou Yu, he would hold the lifeblood of Jiangdong.
"Yes! The subordinates will do it immediately. When leaving, Cao Ren didn't forget to glance at Cao Cao and let him look at Qiao Guan.
Cao Cao understood.
Qiao Wan only knew that it was inconvenient for her to know about the things they discussed, so she didn't ask any more.
After Cao Ren left, Cao Cao said to her: "I plan to stay in Runan City for a few more days, to inspect the customs and customs of the people here, this place is only a day's journey away from Xuchang, Madame is tired of the journey, I will send you back to Xuchang to recuperate first." ”
Qiao Wan knew that someone must have been found here, and it was someone who couldn't let her know. Somehow, a startled thought flashed through her mind - could it be him?
She quickly hid her surprised expression and excused: "The concubine is really unwell these days, I'm afraid I can't bear the bumps of the carriage anymore, and I want to rest here for a few days before leaving." ”
Cao Cao frowned and hesitated, as if he was very reluctant. The suspicion in Qiao Guan's heart deepened a little more......
"Well, I'll go back with you, so that you won't be lonely on the road." He is really confused, just leave this matter to Cao Ren, he is anxious for a while, I am afraid that Qiao Wan has already seen the clue.
"What the hell is going on? Why can't you let me know? She asked, looking him fixedly into the eye, a little disappointed at first.
"You don't have to ask too much about politics." Cao Cao's expression was indifferent.
Qiao Wan was silent, and there was a stalemate with him.
The carriage stopped.
Cao Cao thought for a moment, but still felt that bringing Zhou Yu back to Xuchang was too big and had many dreams, and he couldn't let Qiao Guan know about it, he was not confident that she would not rekindle his old feelings for him. He decided to settle the matter in Runan anyway.
Cao Cao had to get out of the car while saying to the coachman: "Send Madame back to Xuchang." ”
Qiao Wan has basically determined that he is here. He saw her, stood beside another man, and became someone else's bride.
The coachman was given the order to move on around the stagnant army.
Qiao Wan's whole body trembled uncontrollably, she lifted the curtains, and scanned the bustling crowd one by one. Not him, not him, not him. She distinctly heard her own heavy, rapid gasps, trembling slightly with her pounding heart, and her chest ached one by one, as if someone was slashing with a knife. At that moment, heartache, helplessness, self-blame, and guilt came like a flood, mixed into an unprecedented grief poured out, and she suddenly broke down emotionally and cried out in front of everyone. She couldn't stop crying, and at the same time reached out to wipe away the tears that blurred her vision from her eyes, and searched the crowd for the familiar figure. She was mad to see him, even if she could only look at him from afar. However, God didn't even give her this opportunity, and she couldn't find him at all.
He's gone.
"Hey, why is that beauty crying?"
"After the prime minister got out of the car, he left her alone in the car."
"Was it driven away? Hahaha......"
Everyone was laughing and watching her cry alone.
Seeing that the car was about to drive to the city gate, she became more and more anxious, and yelled at the coachman: "Stop! ”
The coachman obeyed Cao Cao's explanation, where was he willing to listen to her, drove straight forward, and replied to her: "I offended Madame, the prime minister has an order, and I need to send you back to Xuchang day and night." He emphasized the words day and night.
Qiao Wan bit his lip and said sharply: "Stop, I want to change clothes!" ”
The coachman was embarrassed, he didn't know what the situation was between Cao Cao and Qiao Guan, why they suddenly parted ways, why Qiao Wan suddenly cried like this. But this request of her...... He really didn't dare to disobey.
He had no choice but to park the car by an inn and say to her, "Madame, wait a minute, I'll go and say hello to them, and make arrangements for you, Madame." ”
After a while, he returned, opened the car door, knelt respectfully on the ground, and said, "Madame, please get out of the car." ”
Qiao Wan followed him into the inn, and he led her to a room where changing supplies such as toilets, clothes, towels and other clothes were already prepared.
After Qiao Wan entered the room, he quickly changed into another set of clothes he had prepared, tied his hair into a man's bun, and rolled out of the window.
She didn't know what she was doing, but she knew she had to. She couldn't watch him fall into Cao Cao's trap.
Zhou Yu was eating at the inn when he suddenly found that Cao Cao's team had stopped, and there were many more soldiers wandering around in the city.
"Childe, it looks like they're going to take a break here." Zhou Ji said.
Although it is only a day's drive from Xuchang, the army is moving slowly, and it takes three days to arrive, and Cao Cao is suspicious and has never marched at night, so it takes at least five days to travel, so it is common sense for Cao Cao to rest here.
Zhou Yu didn't think much about it, but said: "At this time, there are many people, so it's better for everyone to finish eating as soon as possible and set off early." ”
Suddenly, a guest at the next table complained: "Why did the city gate suddenly block in broad daylight, and I still have to go to the city to collect medicine, and I can't go now." ”
"Ouch, if you don't take that medicine, the prime minister suddenly let it be sealed, I heard that there was a felony in the city, and it was being arrested from house to house."
"In broad daylight, how can any repeat offender hit the prime minister's nose, it can't be that the prime minister is playing tricks and secretly returning to Xuchang by himself."
"That's not impossible."
……
Zhou Yu had a bad feeling, could it be that he was recognized?
Yes, the people who came back today are all important ministers around Cao Cao, how can anyone who doesn't know him, he is really careless......
Zhou Ping and the others saw Zhou Yu's frowns, and immediately became vigilant, it seems that the situation is not good now.
