Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Family Moves South

Zhu Yan sat at the table, his face was pink, his lips were like blood, and he was wearing strong makeup. The face was discolored due to sickness, but when I saw the high flower, the flower bloomed, as beautiful as a delicate peony flower.

If Qu Gao didn't know the truth, he would definitely praise her makeup today, but at this moment, seeing her pretending to be strong in front of him was both pity and distress.

"My brother must have encountered a problem when he came to me, right?" Zhu Yan, as always, asked with a faint smile.

"It's okay, I'll discuss it with Brother Chang." Qu Gao shook his head, he really didn't want Zhu Yan to work for him anymore, now let her take care of her body.

Zhu Yan held the somewhat low-hanging eyelid curtain, took a deep breath, and then raised his strength and said: "In this case, the righteous brother and Uncle Chang are discussing, Ah Yan is listening, if you have an idea, you will interject, if you don't have an idea, just act as if you haven't heard it." ”

Qu Gao looked at Chang Fuhai, the latter hesitated for a moment, and had to nod, he saw Qu Gao's expression, he knew that there must be something urgent, Zhu Yan came up with an idea on the side, as long as she was no longer allowed to go out to take care of business, it should be fine.

After retiring the maid, the three of them sat separately, Qu Gao glanced at Zhu Yan worriedly, and said bluntly: "Zhang You wants to dedicate Xiangyang to Shi Hu, Shi Hu has prepared an army of 30,000 and will send a messenger to hand over Xiangyang in five days." ”

"What?"

"So fast!"

The two of them were shocked when they heard this, although they had heard the news and made preparations for Zhang You's move, but when it really happened, they felt that everything came so suddenly.

Thinking that five days later, Xiangyang would fall into the hands of the Hu people, the three of them looked at each other, Chang Fuhai looked left and right, and said angrily: "If you two have any ideas, just say it, look at me and see a bird!" ”

"This matter is not our idea, Zhang You and Shi Hu join forces, even if we have the power of warp and weft, we can't stop it." Zhu Yan gasped slightly, turned to Qu Gao and asked, "Brother Yi should persuade his sister-in-law for the sake of his sister-in-law, knowing that he can't be persuaded to do so, right?" You don't have to think about it to know that it won't succeed, so what are your plans now? ”

"Five days later, at the banquet between Zhang You and Hu Envoy, I will make a desperate bet to assassinate Zhang You!" Qu Gao said without waves, obviously thinking about it for a long time.

"Assassinate Zhang You? He is your father-in-law, if you kill him, how will you face the Zhang family in the future? Besides, Zhang You was born as a military general, you weren't born when he made great achievements, even if you fight alone, you may not be able to defeat him, not to mention that there are many guards in the Taishou Mansion, how can you assassinate him? Chang Fuhai said that this plan was not appropriate.

Qu Gao also knew that Zhang You's martial arts were outstanding, and it was not easy to kill him, but he had the Lu Li Sword in his hand, this sword was invisible, as long as he created an opportunity to get close to Zhang You, the success rate of killing him would increase a lot.

"The Xiangyang garrison can't stop Shi Hu's iron cavalry, and assassinating Zhang You is just a delaying tactic, does the righteous brother have any other plans?" Zhu Yan asked.

Qu Gao nodded and said seriously: "I still have hope for the Wang family." Zhu Yan frowned and asked calmly: "Brother Yi wants to do this, have you ever considered the Qu family?" There are now more than four people in the Qu family, as well as sisters-in-law, Zhong Lijun and his wife, there are six shops under their names, and seventy long-term workers, and their net worth and lives are all within the thought of their righteous brothers. ”

"And you!" Qu Gao looked at Zhu Yan with watery eyes, and called softly: "And Brother Chang, you are all my family." I came here this time to discuss with you how to protect the Qu clan! ”

Zhu Yan paused, and continued: "The task of protecting the Qu family will be handed over to Uncle Chang, the righteous brother only needs to concentrate on planning his own affairs, and Ah Yan will let Uncle Chang arrange the evacuation in the next few days, but it needs to be kept secret from the outside world." ”

"How is my sister-in-law placed?" Zhu Yanhu asked.

Qu Gao couldn't make up his mind, and replied: "If she wants, I will arrange for her to evacuate together, if she doesn't want to, let her go." ”

"Ah Yan understands."

At dinner, Qu Gao returned home and told his parents that Zhu Yan wanted to take them to Jiangnan to play, the second elder was reluctant at first, but Qu Gao insisted again and again, and was finally convinced, besides, it was a family trip, Ah Jing, Cui's, Xiaolian will accompany him, the second elder has never left Xiangyang in his life, Qu Gao said that he wanted to go out to see.

Although Zhang had suspicions in his heart, he didn't speak until he finished his meal and returned to the room, and then he asked carefully, "Isn't the master different?" Qu Gao couldn't bear to confide in her the truth, and said: "I still have some things to deal with, and I will leave in a few days, Shiqi, are you willing to travel with my parents and relatives, or do you want to stay in Xiangyang?" ”

Zhang looked at Qu Gao steadily, her intuition told her that Qu Gao was plotting something, and this matter would involve the entire family, so she was really going to move her family south under the guise of traveling.

Zhang is a young lady from an official family, and she has grown up in an environment of open and secret fighting since she was a child, and like Zhu Yan, she still has the ability to guess other people's thoughts. From Qu Gao's expression, Zhang guessed that this matter was likely to be related to her, and her choice might also determine the future relationship between the two.

About half an hour later, the two were relatively speechless, Qu Gao knew that Zhang was making a decision, and Zhang also knew that Qu Gao was waiting for her to make a decision. She raised her head again and looked at Qu Gao carefully.

Words can be disguised, but eyes can't deceive people, besides, Qu Gao is never good at faking. The eyes of the two met, Zhang's brows stretched, smiled lightly, and said, "Shiqi wants to stay." Qu Gao was stunned, and Zhang said: "But Shiqi knows that staying will make it difficult for the husband, so Shiqi is willing to go with Weng Po." Speaking of this, she had tears in her eyes, and when Qu Gao took her in his arms, she said slowly: "The master should know that Shiqi made this decision, and there will be nothing in the future." Qu Gao sniffed the fragrance on her hair, closed his eyes and groaned: "For the rest of my life, I will live up to my reputation!" ”
