Chapter 45: Guo Jia the Prophet
After Yan Xiang was accidentally killed by Li Shu in Lujiang, Changshui Lieutenant Chongji took his place and became Jiao Zhongqing's upline, still maintaining the operation of the line of the Son of Heaven - Sun Ce.
Regarding Yan Xiang's killing, Cao Cao's attitude was very ambiguous, and he did not interrupt the marriage agreement with Sun Ce.
As a result, there was a strange scene between the princes of Cao and Sun, Sun Ce instigated Li Shu to kill the Yangzhou assassin appointed by Cao Cao, Cao Cao not only did not blame, but also continued to send people to Jiangdong to marry Sun Ce.
From this point, it is enough to prove that Cao Cao has doubts about the degree of loyalty to Yan Xiang and who the object of allegiance is.
Of course, what Cao Cao thought was not important to Jiao Zhongqing.
Jiao Zhongqing only cared about how to kill Sun Ce.
At present, his identity is a Lujiang official, a subordinate of Li Shu; The first identity in the dark is the downline of the seed series, responsible for delivering news to the Son of Heaven and Sun Ce; The second identity in the dark is the spokesperson of the Avengers, responsible for contacting all the people and forces who have a lot of enmity against Sun Ce, and planning to launch a fatal blow against Sun Ce.
Running for the two lines at the same time made Jiao Zhongqing so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground, and he often couldn't go home once in ten days and a half months.
Fortunately, the family situation is fine, the old mother and his wife are not as in the dream, as soon as they meet, although they still look at each other a little unpleasantly, but for the sake of the soon-to-be-born child, the old mother is currently more restrained.
This made Jiao Zhongqing breathe a sigh of relief.
You can safely go to the outskirts of Lujiang City to meet a big beauty without worrying about a fire in the backyard and repeating the tragedy in your dreams.
This beauty is Qin Luoshi, a mulberry picker.
When it comes to beauties, people in this era will immediately think of the name of Diao Chan, as well as Xi Shi and Wang Zhaojun from ancient times to the present.
However, these three peerless beauties are all court beauties, and for ordinary people, they are like bright moons and stars obscured by clouds.
Qin Luofu is different.
Qin Luofu is a folk beauty living in the countryside, her beauty is famous far and wide, it is a kind of natural beauty of "clear water out of hibiscus, natural carving", is the beauty that ordinary people can see.
Although Qin Luofu's place of residence is not far from Jiao Zhongqing, Jiao Zhongqing has not intersected with Qin Luofu before, but he has heard of the latter's reputation in his dreams, after all, Lujiang Mansion is still quite big, and he has no time to hang out on weekdays.
In the dream, when her mother and Liu Lanzhi had a quarrel, she once said, "There is a beautiful woman in the owner, and her name is Qin Luozhi", and she has done this dream many times, and Jiao Zhongqing has also taken the name Qin Luofu to heart.
However, he didn't think Qin Luofu was so beautiful.
In his heart, his wife Liu Lanzhi is the eternal white moonlight, and in order to marry Liu Lanzhi as he wished, he even rejected Cai Yan, the daughter of his teacher Cai Yong.
Cai Yan is a knowledgeable and talented intellectual beautiful girl.
But Jiao Zhongqing has no regrets.
In his opinion, it is enough to marry a wife who is like a flower, and there is no need to learn from those big families, high-ranking officials and nobles, and marry many wives and concubines.
When Jiao Zhongqing came to Qin Luofu's house, she was in her yard, with her back to the door, holding a bamboo luo, and feeding the silkworms with chopped mulberry leaves.
She wears a light yellow skirt and a purple shirt, and her slender figure exudes youthful charm.
Rao is Jiao Zhongqing is well-informed and has read countless beauties, and when he saw Qin Luofu for the first time, he was also stunned all of a sudden, stopped, and subconsciously straightened the scarf on his head, straightened his clothes, and was excited.
Such a beautiful and gentle girl, used to be a connector, is indeed ...
It's not easy to get people's attention.
It seems that in order to sneak attack Xudu, Sun Ce also calculated the blood capital.
The morning sun shines through the gap between the leaves, shining brightly on Luo Fu, who is wearing a light yellow skirt and purple shirt, in the starry halo, the Yiren posture is swaying, and the three thousand green silk is lightly brushed, and the back alone is particularly sultry.
After only looking at it for a moment, Jiao Zhongqing had many thoughts that a normal man should have, and even thought about the names of their future sons, completely forgetting that he had adhered to the belief that he had adhered to for nearly twenty years - he only loved Liu Lanzhi in this life.
He couldn't help but step forward and bowed, interrupting Qin Luofu's focused work, "Dare to ask the girl, but Qin Luofu?" ”
"It's the little woman."
Qin Luofu turned around when he heard the sound, bowed his knees, and raised his eyes to look at Jiao Zhongqing.
"Dare to ask the girl how old she is?"
"Twenty is less, fifteen is more."
According to the joint code agreed by the two parties before, the next sentence should be Jiao Zhongqing said, "Is the girl willing to travel to the southeast with me on horse", and then Qin Luo replied with a sentence "People are in the deep boudoir (palace), where can they be free", the two sides successfully connected, entered the room, and had a more in-depth exchange.
But Jiao Zhongqing opened his mouth and said: "Hmm... Can a girl marry me? ”
Hearing this, Qin Luofu was stunned for a moment.
blinked his clear eyes, froze in place, unable to answer.
She was sure that the little official in front of her was the person she was looking for.
But why doesn't this guy play according to the routine?
The two looked at each other, you looked at me, I looked at you, and there was silence for a while.
The atmosphere was suddenly a little awkward.
Jiao Zhongqing patted his forehead, came back to his senses, and realized that he had said the wrong thing.
He didn't know what was going on with him today, but when he saw Qin Luoshi, a young and beautiful girl in the prime of her cardamom years, he was confused and blurted out such a frivolous and rude sentence.
Moreover, the strange thing is that he also said this sentence very smoothly and naturally, as if he had said it more than a thousand times in another time and space.
Could it be that he is really such a womanizer?
Jiao Zhongqing was a little dazed for a while.
People always have a sudden understanding of themselves at a certain moment, and Jiao Zhongqing is like this at this moment. He thought he was a single-minded and affectionate man, and this perception lasted for more than 20 years, but in the end he suddenly found that he was actually seeing a playboy who loved one?
The huge cognitive gap made Jiao Zhongqing embarrassed and a little unbelievable.
Seeing Jiao Zhongqing stunned and stunned there, Qin Luofu smiled, raised his hand slightly and retreated from the several black-armored guards who rushed out of the back room, leaving only two people in the courtyard, and said eloquently: "Why did you say this? You have your own wife, and Luo Fu has your own husband. My husband is a great official in the East, and when he goes out on patrol, he walks in front with a thousand horsemen, majestic..."
Hearing this, Jiao Zhongqing finally came back to his senses and remembered his "mission".
He stared at Qin Luofu, who was like a lotus flower out of the water, fragrant and clear, and handed her a piece of brocade silk that marked the military arrangements of the counties and counties along the Jiangdong-Xudu route, the information of the guards, the topographical map of the city of Xudu, and a brocade silk that recorded the list of officials who responded to the policy.
Then, he took a silk handkerchief handed by her, opened it, glanced at it, exchanged a few more words, and hurried away.
After Jiao Zhongqing left, Qin Luofu unfolded the brocade silk, only to see that the list of officials who responded to the policy was impressively written: Uncle Dong Cheng, Changshui Lieutenant Chongji, Wu Shuo, Zhaoxin General Wu Zilan, Liangzhou Assassin Taishou Ma Teng, Taiyi Ji Ping, and Yuzhou Assassin Liu Bei - that is, the main personnel who conspired to kill Cao Cao together with the edict.
Qin Luoshi's face was full of excitement, and after repeatedly confirming that the information was correct, he handed over the brocade silk and the map to a cronie, and now he could cross the river and report to Sun Ce.
After this meeting, Qin Luofu and Jiao Zhongqing established a bond between Sun Ce's forces and Dong Cheng's forces in the DPRK and China, and the two often met and exchanged messages.
This bond was hidden from Cao Cao's ears and eyes.
- At least, both Qin Luofu and Sun Ce think so.
As a result, Sun Ce felt that his certainty of a sneak attack on Xu Du had greatly increased, so he often spoke ruthlessly in front of his generals, saying that he would "take advantage of Yuan Cao's holding on to Guandu, surprise attack Xu Du, and welcome the Son of Heaven into the southeast".
At the same time, the envoy sent by Cao Cao to Jiangdong to welcome relatives also passed through Lujiang, and Guo Jia secretly hid in the secret envoy of the envoy to welcome relatives, and also successfully contacted Jiao Zhongqing, who was bent on avenging Lu Kang.
Jiao Zhongqing immediately handed over the list of "Cloth and Belt Edicts" obtained from the seed collection and the news of Sun Ce's intention to attack Xu Du to the envoy sent by Guo Jia according to Li Shu's wishes.
The only information that was intercepted was Sun Ce's next moves.
When the news of "Sun Ce's attack on Xu" reached Cao Cao's army, all the generals in the army were very frightened, but Guo Jia disagreed, and said nonchalantly: "Ce Xin and Jiangdong, all the punishments are heroic and heroic, and those who can win people's death are also." However, the strategy is light and unprepared, although there are millions of people, it is tantamount to traveling alone in the Central Plains. If the assassin rises, the enemy of one man. In my opinion, I will die at the hands of the horseman. ”
So Cao Ying's generals breathed a sigh of relief.
