When Liu Qi left Jingzhou, Xiahou Nan ignored the dissuasion of Xiahou Yuan and Zhang Liao and entered Nanyang with his entourage.

The two wagons were loaded with goods, and in addition to animal skins and medicinal herbs from the north, they were also packed with gold nuggets, which was the experience gained from the last delivery of furniture.

After half a year of reselling furniture and food, I finally earned enough ransom and exchanged it for gold, and finally waited for the time to raise my eyebrows.

Re-embarking on the familiar road, Xiahou Nan bathed in the spring breeze and hummed a minor tune learned from Gong E, which can be described as a spring breeze.

After making a lot of money in the Central Plains and Hebei, Xiahou Nan knew the taste of the marrow, and the reason why he had to go to Jingzhou in person this time was to see what novel ways Liu Qi had come up with to make money, and to observe and learn.

And, of course, the private house, and the black pearl that leans against the door!

When the carriage and horse arrived in Fancheng, Xia Houlan had already led people to wait, followed by a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy with red lips and white teeth, who was the eldest of the Ma family's five constants, Ma Yan.

Xu Shu found that this person was quick to think and debate with others calmly, so he took him to the Yanfeng Camp, and if he was suitable for managing intelligence, he would be trained.

Xiahou Lan used to be the deputy general of Xiahou Lan, and the two were also familiar with each other, and hugged their fists and said: "The last time Xiangjiang encountered an accident, General Liu was very uneasy. ”

Xiahou Nan had a calm face: "Xiahou Lan, you are honest, the shipwreck of Zhang Weihe Xiangjiang is all Liu Qi's plan?" ”

"Why did Childe say that?" Xiahou Lan said with a smile: "Zhang Wei's matter, General Liu has sent someone to investigate thoroughly, and the mansion should have been sealed, but it has been bought by Gongzi, and Zhang Wei sank Xiangjiang again. Even if Zhang Wei died without proof, those cars of gold were genuine, if it was designed by General Liu, how could he give up so much gold? ”

"That's just as well!" Xiahou Nan nodded slightly, with Liu Qi's love of money as his life, how could he be willing to let three thousand taels of gold sink into the river?

It seems that the prime minister also has a time when he looks away, how can I, Xiahou Nan, be so easily deceived?

With a little balance in his heart, he asked, "Can General Liu be in the house?" ”

Xiahou Lan said: "The general married the Sun family and has gone to Jiangdong. ”

"Didn't you go to Jiangdong to help in the war?" Xiahou Nan snorted slightly.

But he didn't care, the old father-in-law was proficient in Tao strategy, and he personally led the troops, who in the world could stop him, and it would be in vain to go to two more Liu Qi.

Instead, he asked, "What about my Qingyu Sword?" ”

Xiahou Lan said with a smile: "Don't worry, the sword and the notes are in Xiangyang, and the general has already explained when he leaves, telling me to wait for the good student to receive him, and all the expenses will be recorded in his account." ”

"That's pretty much it!" Xiahou Nan felt that Liu Qi still valued him, and pouted and said: "But he used my Qingyu Sword to sneak attack Wuguan, this account has to be settled!" ”

Xiahou Lan smiled and said: "Certainly, when the general returns from Jiangdong, he will give an explanation to his son!" ”

Xiahou Nan waved his hand: "Okay, the gold brought by this son is in this vehicle, and it will be counted here, so as not to have another accident when crossing the river." ”

The incident of Xiangjiang last time made Xiahou Nan still have palpitations, and he felt trembling when he took the boat.

Xia Houlan smiled: "Childe is too worried!" The previous shipwreck on the Xiangjiang River had a great impact and alarmed General Liu to inspect it personally. Later, after the brainstorming of everyone, now the problem has been solved, not to mention pedestrians, even vehicles can pass safely, no longer have to worry about wind and waves. ”

"Huh?" Xiahou Nan frowned, "The Han River is vast, in just a few months, can Jingzhou still build a bridge?" ”

Xia Houlan said with a smile: "Childe knows when he arrives at the riverside. ”

Xiahou Nan was curious, and everyone came to the pier together, only to see that on the Han River, large and small boats were connected in a row, from north to south, forming a pontoon bridge.

The iron cables between the big boats are connected, and the wooden bridge is erected between the small boats, which is two zhang wide, and there are pedestrians, cars and horses coming and going on it, although there are slight ups and downs, but it has been very stable.

"Wonderful!" Xiahou Nan looked at it for a moment, patted his thigh and said with a smile: "My mother doesn't have to worry about me taking the boat anymore." ”

On this trip, Xiahou Nan's mother repeatedly told him to return after changing the sword in Nanyang, and never to cross the river by boat.

Xiahou Lan said: "In fact, there are not a few people in the north of Jingzhou, in order to facilitate exchanges with Nanyang, General Liu will transport the warships that have retreated from the naval army to this place and erect a pontoon bridge. ”

"This Liu ...... General Liu, you can always come up with something new! Xiahou Nan sighed with emotion and ordered his entourage to drive onto the boat and rush to Xiangyang.

Asking about Jingzhou along the way, Xiahou Lan felt ashamed of Xiahou and was very respectful to Xiahou Nan, knowing everything and saying everything.

"Second Uncle dares to say that it is useless for me to come to Jingzhou?" Xiahou Nan set up a lot of important information, and was secretly proud in his heart, thinking that he would show off in front of Xiahou Yuan after he went back.

When the carriage and horse arrived in Xiangyang, they first counted their belongings and retrieved the sword and notes, and Xiahou Nan asked his entourage to take them back to Zhuang and wait, and then he couldn't wait to rush to Shuiyunjian.

Xiahou Lan was puzzled: "Son, don't you go back to the village to rest?" ”

"What's the hurry? I'll go see if there's anything new first...... cough cough," Xiahou Nan said with his hands behind his back: "My son is here, mainly to see if there are new business opportunities in Xiangyang, I want to eat the grilled fish between the water and clouds!" ”

Xiahou Lan smiled knowingly, accompanied Xiahou Nan to the water and clouds, ordered some barbecue, and left consciously.

In the backyard of Shuiyunjian, in a very private room, Zhang Song was sleepy-eyed, looking at the white and black shining and beautiful curvy delicate body on the left and right, with a complicated expression.

He originally planned to go to Xuchang to meet the Son of Heaven, and by the way, he asked Cao Cao to send troops to fight Zhang Lu, but he was secretly invited to Xiangyang by Liu Qi.

It happened that Cao Cao had gone to Huainan, and Zhang Song thought that Xuchang was useless, so it was better to wait here for a while, and by the way, see what was so surprising about this amazing Liu Qi.

Who knew that he and Pang Tong saw each other like before, drank and got drunk, and couldn't help his hospitality, and fell into this gentle township, unconsciously seven or eight days had passed.

You must know that Zhang Song was born ugly, he was ridiculed since he was a child, and women even retreated when they saw it, and even their wives and concubines were disgusted, how could he really taste the taste of women's courtesy?

In a drunken dream, he was arranged between the water and clouds, and since then he has been unable to extricate himself!

When he set off, he boasted to Liu Zhang and Zhong Wenwu that he would go to Haikou, and he would definitely be able to say that he would move Cao's army to send troops, but at this time, Guanzhong was in chaos, and he was delayed in Xiangyang for too long, how to recover his life after he returned?

"Alas, it's all because of the wine!" Zhang Song patted his head with regret and sighed lightly: "From now on, quit drinking!" ”

When he was thinking about it, he heard the old bustard knock on the secret door and urged: "Sir, get up quickly, there is a distinguished guest here today, and I want Mo Lian to accompany you by name." ”

Zhang Song glanced at the sleeping dark-skinned woman, and said unhappily: "Where is the distinguished guest, can it be more expensive than me?" ”

When he arrived in Jingzhou, Liu Qi was treated as a guest, and Pang Tong secretly arranged it, who dared to disturb him?
