Chapter 103: Xiangyang
Xiahou Yu asked Du Hui: "What is the Ji family doing these days?" β
Du Hui said: "I've been helping Shirojun pack his bags with Mei Niangzi!" β
Xiao Fei ranked fourth in Xiao's family room.
Xiahou Yu said: "Someday, let me meet Xiao Mei!" β
She didn't know Xiao Mei yet.
Du Hui responded with a smile.
Within a few days, he found an excuse to invite Xiao Mei over.
Xiao Mei is ten years old, her body looks like a twelve or thirteen-year-old child, but her face is very naΓ―ve, but she looks like the Xiao family, with long eyebrows and apricot eyes, but unfortunately she is timid when she looks at people, and her temperament is not good.
I don't know what Ji thinks?
Xiahou Yu said a few words to her, and she didn't answer well in a cowering way, and Xiahou Yu didn't embarrass the child, and rewarded her with some clothes and ornaments, and let her retreat.
But she couldn't help but say to Du Hui in private: "The Yan family can be regarded as a heroine, how can you raise two children who are not outstanding." β
Du Hui couldn't help but sigh and said, "What's the use of the Yan family, no matter how powerful it is? Xiao Chung doesn't respect her, she scolds when she scolds, and beats when she says, how can the children put their mothers in their eyes, and how can the two children's personalities not be timid and cowardly?! β
Xiahou Yu also makes sense to think about it.
She couldn't help but sigh, and temporarily threw Yan's two children aside, and specially accompanied the Wu family to pay attention to Xiao Yan's sacrifice.
And Xiao Huan, who was far away in Xiangyang, since he gathered 50,000 troops, in addition to training, he paid attention to the movements on Lu Yuan's side.
When he received Wu's letter, he didn't take it to heart.
His mother, who had been raised by his father to be timid and fearful, if there was anything at home, she must have sent the housekeeper to come over early in the morning and write a letter, most likely because there was nothing at home, she missed him, and wrote a letter to tell him some of her daily trivialities.
Xiao Huan waited until the training was over, and then he was ready to go home, read the letter carefully, and then wrote back to the Wu family. But before he could change his armor, Zheng Fen walked in with a big belly full of oil and water, and said happily while wiping his sweat: "No, no, this is all autumn, and the butt of the autumn tiger still can't be touched." I'm so hot, I've got to find a way to get some ice. β
"Don't, don't, don't." Xiao Huan hurriedly stopped him.
After meeting Zheng Fen, he thought that Zheng Fen would return to Jingzhou. Zheng Fen thought that he had nothing to do when he returned to Jingzhou, so he had to follow him to Xiangyang.
He thought that he wanted to gather the troops of Jingzhou and Xiangyang, and when the time came, he was afraid that he would need Zheng Fen's full help, so he did not stop him.
Who knows that after Zheng Fen came, he didn't care about anything, except for making an appointment to meet the celebrities in Xiangyang, that is, he traveled with his friends, and handed over all the military affairs to him, and often disliked the bad conditions in Xiangyang, complained about this for a while, complained about that for a while, and even more excessively a few days ago, disgusted that the weather was too hot, and wanted his troops to go to Jingzhou to drag the ice hidden in his house over to relieve the heat.
The Xiao family's troops are used to march and fight, and most of them are returning from the war with him, how can experienced veterans and soldiers let these people go to drag ice for him.
He refused on the spot.
Zheng Fen is still not giving up, and still has this idea!
Xiao Huan had no choice but to change the topic and said, "Is there no news from Jiankang City yet?" β
"Probably not yet!" Zheng Fen was going to visit Zhuge Hometown these days, and he didn't care much about official business, so he hesitated, "If there is news from Lu Huai's side, Xie Danyang will definitely inform us quickly, what do you have to worry about." β
As soon as his words fell, a small servant close to him ran in and said, "My lord, there is an urgent matter for Jiankang City." β
Zheng Fen was stunned for a moment, then laughed, signaled the little guy to believe in it, and said to Xiao Huan with a smile, "What am I talking about?" So that you don't have to worry, you don't have to fidget. I'm still too young to stand it......" He said as he opened the letter, but his face changed dramatically in a few moments.
Xiao Huan said "not good" in his heart, and hurriedly walked over.
Zheng Fen's wrinkled head tightly into the word "Sichuan", his eyes fell on the letterhead, but he said in his mouth: "The Son of Heaven actually wants to choose a girl as the queen of the Liu family, the Lu family and the Cui family!" β
Xiao Huan was stunned for a moment, and wanted to reach out and take the letterhead to take a closer look, but at the moment of reaching out, he gently put his hands on both sides.
He was too impatient.
Lu Huai's side and Tuoba Shou were in a stalemate, and it was not easy for him to act casually, 50,000 soldiers were pressed in his hands, he occasionally thought about it, he would still be a little annoyed, and even sometimes he would think, if he knew this, he should have stayed in Gusu for two more days.
Xiahou Yu is a noble person, his relationship with the Xiao family is not good, his mother is a careless person, his younger brother doesn't understand anything, and he doesn't know if Xiahou Yu can protect himself.
In the dead of night, he occasionally felt that he should have followed Xiahou Yu and let her stay in Jiankang City.
She has the status of the eldest princess, even Lu Yuan, and she doesn't dare to touch her casually.
Xiao Huan suppressed these chaotic thoughts in his heart, took a deep breath, and felt that his brain was much clearer, and then he said, "What do you mean?" β
"I don't know what it means?" Zheng handed the letterhead to Xiao Huan, his eyes were confused, and he said, "Could it be that the Cui family thinks this is a good opportunity and wants to give it a go?" β
In the past, after the Cui family was defeated by the Zheng family, and later, it was defeated by the Xie family and the Lu family, and they could only be forced to stand by and become neutral.
Now that the imperial power is falling and the royal family is declining, what does the Cui family think?
Zheng Fen was afraid that Xiao Huan wouldn't understand, so she told him about the past.
didn't know that Xiao Huan had already inquired about the twists and turns of the Beidi Gate Valve when he decided Shang Xiahou Yu.
The Cui family has not been a talented or outstanding descendant in recent years, but they are not very lucky, and they have met Zheng Can, Xie Maung and Lu Yuan, but they have never been able to win the position of Great Sima or General.
Now that he wants to stuff his daughter into the palace, I am afraid that he is already competing for popularity, and he wants to participate in the disputes of the court by relying on the identity of his relatives.
After all, no matter how rich the family foundation is, there will be a day when it will be exhausted.
The family has a big business, and it can't withstand a few generations of powerful ministers.
Xiao Huan knew, and Zheng Fen also knew.
He said to Xiao Huan, who was looking at the letterhead: "You say, should we pull Cui Hao over?" As long as it is Lu Yuan's enemy, he can be our ally. β
Then the threshold for their allies is too low!
Xiao Huan said in his heart, seeing Zheng Fen's attitude, he faintly regretted that he had formed an alliance with Xie Danyang at the beginning.
Sometimes more people are not necessarily better.
The more people there are, the more opinions there are, and the easier it is to waste time with gossip.
The most effective and comforting method he learned was to personally feel who was the fastest and had the better chance of winning.
Xiao Huan is unwilling to spend his time in such infighting.
He said lightly with little interest: "The Cui family may not be willing to form an alliance with us. In my opinion, we should discuss this matter again. When he said this, he remembered Xiahou Yu.
I wonder what she will do when she learns about this?
Do you also agree to win over Cui's into the game?
Suddenly, Xiao Huan really wanted to see Xiahou Yu.
He couldn't help but mutter, "I wonder if the eldest princess knows the news?" β
