Chapter 449 Mission Impossible, Scheme, Plot-
A black-canopy boat castrated like a fly, swinging through the churning waves, undulating on the endless river.
Liu Chan and Li Jingxiao sat on the bow of the boat, looking at the distant and ethereal green mountains on both sides of the strait.
Liu Chan sighed softly: "Sister Jingxiao's hometown is so beautiful, the four seasons are like spring, and the green mountains are like daisies... The people who live here must be leisurely and happy... It's not like Bashu, where everything seems to be in the mountains, and there are farmers working hard everywhere, as if they will never have enough to eat. β
Li Jingxiao said, "Jiangdong is indeed more tranquil, which is why Cao Cao's 800,000 army pressed the border in the past, but finally collapsed in Chibi, and the people on the happy land will of course sacrifice their lives to guard their stable homeland... But it's the same..."
Li Jingxiao's words stopped talking.
Liu Chan hurriedly asked, "The same what?" β
Li Jingxiao replied: "It's nothing... Childe doesn't want to paint, I'll paint a picture of this like Dai Qingshan, okay for you? β
"It couldn't be better." As soon as he heard about painting, Liu Chan was happy, and all the questions of Fang Cai were left behind.
Actually, Li Jingxiao wanted to say.
"The rich are often war-weary of living in peace, more than defending the city, but not enterprising enough... From this point of view, what Wu Hou and those big clans are plotting is not one thing at all, it will not be one heart."
This side of the car...
Li Jingxiao began to paint for Liu Chan, and Liu Chan sat quietly beside her, asking from time to time... What is the name of this mountain, what is the name of this water, it is like a curious little tiger.
The canopy boat was moving very fast, and the river splashed on Liu Chan's face, which made him even more excited.
He's too interested in this Koto, especially... There is also such a caring sister in Jiangdong, who has already begun to look forward to life after rushing to Jiangdong.
Over there...
Sun Shangxiang was in the cabin, and Zhu Ran sat opposite her, they were childhood sweethearts, but they were reunited after a long absence.
Can... I don't know if it's because of nervousness or other emotions.
The two sat tacitly, keeping a distance not far or close, did not speak, looked at each other from time to time, and seemed to say a thousand words.
Finally, Sun Shangxiang couldn't help this special atmosphere, she raised her eyes.
"Righteousness..."
Before the last three words of "Brother Yifeng" could be chanted, it happened that Zhu Ran also raised his head, and he didn't seem to expect to open his mouth at the same time as Sun Shangxiang.
This tacit understanding from six or seven years ago seemed to make him palpitate and nervous.
But soon, Zhu Ran reined in his mind and said softly: "It's still on the river now, it's not safe, but when you go to Dongting Lake in front, there will be General Gan Ning's fleet to pick you up, and then that fleet will escort your wife directly to Jianye City... Wu Hou was waiting for his wife there. β
Zhu Ran truthfully explained the next arrangements.
Sun Shangxiang seemed to feel a little lonely in her heart, and she murmured: "You also call me Mrs...."
This...
With Sun Shangxiang's words, Zhu Ran subconsciously bowed his head.
As if to avoid Sun Shangxiang's hot gaze.
Even now, Sun Shangxiang is in front of his eyes, but Zhu Ran still feels unreal.
It was like a dream.
The person in his heart appeared in front of him, and the feeling of this dream shining into reality made him nervous inexplicably, and even... It's going to suffocate the general feeling.
"If you don't want to answer, then Mrs. Ben asks you about the individual..."
Sun Shangxiang opened her mouth as if she was angry, especially when she chanted the words "Mrs. Ben", she deliberately accentuated her tone, "So, is this the plan you made to take me and Adou to Jiangdong?" β
At the mention of the plan, Zhu Ran raised his head again, but when he met Sun Shangxiang's hot gaze, he still instinctively trembled, as if he was a little nervous.
He could only passively and stumbling back: "First of all, the post house, starting from Madame's departure from Bashu, I sent someone to dig through the tunnel leading to the post house by the river, which is why I asked the captain of the Relief Camp to tell Madame that I chose that post house and did not allow the guards to enter it!" β
Zhu Ran's words... Let Sun Shangxiang recall that last night... That moment of severity.
Unexpectedly, Li Jingxiao easily succeeded in convincing Liu Chan.
Hearing that the three of them secretly left together tonight, Liu Chan was not surprised at all, but his eyes were full of anticipation, as if the whole person was excited.
- How exciting.
The hardest step is done with ease.
However, a new problem arose, that is, Zhao Yun's guards worked in two shifts and surrounded the entire pavilion.
Although they can't enter it because of the difference between men and women, it is not easy for Sun Shangxiang to leave with Adou and Li Jingxiao!
She tried a few times, but there were guards everywhere outside the compound, and there was no chance at all.
I finally managed to stay up until Zhao Yun changed shifts to rest, but... The guards still wrapped the inn like a net.
At that moment, Sun Shangxiang was anxious to stomp his feet.
Just at the last moment, it was Zhu Ran, who got out from under the bed in Sun Shangxiang's boudoir.
It was only then that Sun Shangxiang knew that there was a hole in this post house, and there was a secret passage under her bed!
Sun Shangxiang also had to admit that the moment she saw Zhu Ran, she was extremely excited.
This feeling... It's not a foreign country at all, it's more like a kind of affection that transcends family affection, transcends everything, and is almost about to explode.
Thinking of last night's thrill, Sun Shangxiang couldn't help but turn his head to the side, resting the window and looking at the rippling blue waves in the river, and also looking at the Rudai Qingshan in the distance.
She realized... She was finally free.
Can... Even if the whole escape happened last night.
But now that I think about it, Sun Shangxiang's heart is still thrilling.
Zhu Ran's words continued: "The so-called Ming Xiu plank road, dark Chen Cang, Lu Meng, Jiang Qin, Zhu Zhi three generals led the navy to welcome Mrs. on the bright side, this is the reason to set up a suspicious array and attract the attention of Jing Nan, and I will send my wife to Dongting Lake to General Gan Ning with this canopy boat, and he will lead the navy to send Mrs. back. β
As he spoke, Zhu Ran's tone became a lot more confident, and the success of the plan made him finally leak a few smiles, "The whole plan is only known to a few of us, at least for now, the plan is going well!" β
For a while, the entire process of Dongwu taking back Sun Shangxiang and Adou was completely presented from Zhu Ran's mouth.
The whole plan is not immaculate and meticulous.
It's just that Sun Shangxiang doesn't want to hear this.
Suddenly, she stretched out her arm, and the slender jade hand quickly grabbed Zhu Ran's hand.
Her voice chanted at the same time: "Brother Yifeng, how have you been doing all these years?" β
This...
Sun Shangxiang's sudden words made Zhu Ran panic, and his face turned red.
He subconsciously lowered his head, but he couldn't ignore Sun Shangxiang's projected gaze at all.
Today's Sun Shangxiang is still just a delicate and beautiful girl in her twenties, and her bright eyes seem to... Full of longing and anticipation.
Even, she was trembling all over, and her teeth were shaking so much that she couldn't stop the "gurgling" sound of fighting.
It's like, this woman is still in her best years, and the only thing she longs for most is to be able to be with her childhood sweetheart's brother... Say a few thoughtful words.
recounts the bitterness of being by Liu Bei's side over the years, but his heart is in Dongwu.
"Madame... I..."
Zhu Ran subconsciously opened his mouth.
Sun Shangxiang immediately pressed his index finger against his lips and said softly: "Don't use this title anymore, do you know how tormented my heart has been in the past six years?" The last thing I want to hear you call me Madameβ"
Sun Shangxiang, Liu Bei!
This is a tragedy under a political marriage...
Both sides take what they need, but what Sun Shangxiang loses is his reputation and the best beauty.
At this moment, I suddenly heard the voice of Liu Chan in the bow of the boat:
"What song is this? So good-sounding? β
With Liu Chan's voice, Sun Shangxiang and Zhu Ran also heard it, and it was a melodious singing voice from the river.
"Jiangnan can be a vegetable lotus, lotus leaves He Tiantian, fish play between lotus leaves."
"Fish play lotus leaf east, fish play lotus leaf west, fish play lotus leaf south, fish play lotus leaf north."
This is the "Jiangnan" article in "Han Yuefu", which is played by the rhythm of the silk and bamboo qin at the moment, and dozens of men and women sing in unison, which is particularly soft, quiet and quiet.
Liu Chan couldn't help but sigh: "It's so good, it's like a little song sung by Sister Jingxiao." β
As Liu Chan said, this unique singing voice of Jiangnan seems to carry a kind of magic that can make people feel stable.
Li Jingxiao was even more excited, "Jiangnan, this is the song of my hometown." β
On the other hand, Zhu Ran in the cabin, after hearing this song, his whole body became excited, and he didn't bother to answer Sun Shangxiang's eagerly awaited words, he quickly stood up.
Coincidentally, a sharp wave crashed, and the entire canopy boat shook, Zhu Ran stumbled and did not stand firm, and the whole person fell to Sun Shangxiang's side.
Thanks to Zhu Ran's quick eyes and quick hands, and thanks to him being a gentleman, he grabbed the canopy of the boat, so as to avoid colliding with Sun Shangxiang.
It's just that such a gesture makes Sun Shangxiang feel something different, or rather... Disappointed!
- "Brother Yifeng is more stable than he was six years ago."
Without waiting for Sun Shangxiang to reverie, Zhu Ran had already walked out of the cabin quickly, and at the bow of the ship... The water gushing out of the surging wave just now wet Li Jingxiao's painting, and Liu Chan was comforting her.
Zhu Ran couldn't care about so much, and hurriedly sang towards the place where the song was sung.
- "On the battlefield, we have not seen each other... Try to love Chunhua, don't forget the joyful time. Life should come back, death should be Sauvignon Blanc..."
This is a unique love song in Jiangnan, and the melodious and lingering singing voice sings from Zhu Ran's mouth, with a different kind of romance.
Sun Shangxiang thought it was sung to her by Zhu Ran.
Just walked out of the cabin, Ben looked at Zhu Ran stupidly, but at this time... At the end of the line between water and sky, dozens of small boats came briskly.
On the warship headed by the leader, in the sound of hunting, a huge "brocade" flag was particularly eye-catching...
"It's our Dongwu's receiving ship, husband..."Zhu Ran explained to Sun Shangxiang, but as soon as the word "husband" of "madam" blurted out, he was shocked and quickly changed his words: "It's Gan Ning who responds to the county lord's fleet... Unexpectedly, they sailed away from Dongting Lake and approached the river... I think it's worried that the county lord will be caught up by Jingzhou's fleet! β
Not...
Hearing Zhu Ran's words, Sun Shangxiang was a little disappointed.
Zhu Ran's words continued, "Just now they sang "Yuefu" Jiangnan... The 'farewell wife' that I replied to was one of the two codes in this operation, and the only ones who knew this code were my father and the generals Lu Meng, Jiang Qin, and Gan Ning... You can be sure that it's your own people! β
As he spoke, the brocade fleet had arrived.
"Where's General Gan?"
Zhu Ran was a little surprised and didn't see Gan Ning.
He was greeted by a man wearing an orange turban and holding a trident, dressed as a pirate.
"General Gan is still waiting at Dongting Lake... Just in case, he sent me and others to meet him, but he never thought that he really ran into General Zhu's fleet. β
On the Jin Sailing Boat, this cold voice has a feeling of being rejected thousands of miles away.
In addition, it also gave Zhu Ran a sense of familiarity, but judging from the other party's cheeks, who is the other party? He didn't seem to be impressed.
- "Maybe it's one of Gan Ning's leaders, maybe I've seen it before?"
With a hint of doubt, Zhu Ran then asked:
"Do you know the other codes?"
The man with the orange turban didn't think about it: "The city gate is a few zhang high, thirty-six zhang high and high, riding a white horse, crossing the mountainside, and falling after the city gate!" β
Zhu Ran took the second half of the sentence, "The city gate is a few zhang high, thirty-six zhang high and high, riding a white horse, with a knife, walking under the city gate!" β
Pair the code...
Zhu Ran completely relieved his mind and turned his head to Sun Shangxiang, "The county lord and the prince will change into their ship!" To the front of Dongting Lake, that is the territory of Soochow..."
Sun Shangxiang's arrangement for Zhu Ran was relieved from the bottom of my heart, but... She added a question, "What about you?" Won't you go back with us? β
"I need to take the canopy boat in the opposite direction..."Zhu Ran said frankly: "First, to pick up my father, second... To prevent anyone in Jingzhou from seeing this canopy boat, I will go and guide them away for the county lord..."
Oh...
Sun Shangxiang bowed slightly, but there was some regret and reluctance in his heart.
She could feel that with such a deployment, Brother Yifeng was bothered.
"The county lord should take Ah Dou Gongzi to replace the ship..."Zhu Ran urged again. Don't make a change later-"
Sun Shangxiang hurriedly greeted Liu Chan and Li Jingxiao, and the two were also very cooperative, and quickly changed to the incoming fleet, not to mention... It was a warship, which was many times more spacious than the canopy ship.
Liu Chan still pestered Li Jingxiao, "Now, there will be no more water splashing on the painting!" β
Li Jingxiao glanced back at Sun Shangxiang and got instructions, so she took Liu Chan's hand, "Let's go to the cabin first... It's time for Childe to eat, too. β
As they spoke, Li Jingxiao and Liu Chan walked away.
On the contrary, it was Sun Shangxiang, who reluctantly walked onto the warship that came to answer.
Zhu Ran arched his hand to the leader of the Jinfan fleet who came to answer. "It's up to General Ganningβ"
"Don't worry...", the man with the orange turban replied, and ordered the "sailors" to pull the anchor and set sail...
Before parting, Sun Shangxiang still looked reluctant.
She pondered for a long time, but she still couldn't help but ask Zhu Ran on the opposite boat: "Will you also go to Jianye City?" β
Zhu Ran's heart "chuckled".
"After the matter here is settled, I will go to Jianye City to find you..."
I don't know if it's to reassure Sun Shangxiang or something else.
Zhu Ran finally left her with an elegant smile and two words: "Wait for me-"
For a moment, the two ships sailed away in opposite directions, drifting away.
It's just that...
How did he know that after this farewell, when he and Sun Shangxiang met again, they were separated forever-
On the contrary, the leader of the brocade sail with the orange turban glanced at Sun Shangxiang and Zhu Ran meaningfully.
He seems to have read something intriguing!
β¦
β¦
Orange is orange born in Huainan, and orange is born in Huaibei.
LΓΌ Meng handed two oranges to Jiang Qin and Zhu Zhi respectively.
The orange peels and looks unusually plump and moist, and it is very delicious.
Zhu Zhi smiled, "The county lord in Shu is Mrs. Sun, but when you return to Jiangdong, you will be the leader of the Trouble-Relief Camp... is in response to that sentence, Huainan and Huaibei, for orange and orange..."
Jiang Qin also smiled and said, "That's not what General Zhu wants to say, right?" It should be Liu Chan, who is not a weapon, and he is a noble son in Shuzhong, but when he arrives in our Jiangdong, then Liu Chan is a lamb who can be exchanged for Jingzhou, right? Ah, hahahaha..."
With Jiang Qin's words, Zhu Ran also laughed, and they both seemed to be in a good mood, "General Jiang, don't say it so directly!" β
"There are no outsiders here, besides, isn't that what happened?" Jiang Qin continued, "Liu Bei is so old that half of his feet are about to fall into that coffin, just such a precious son... The gold is very expensive, don't say that it is for him to hand over Jingzhou, even if he asks for tens of thousands of Shu brocade, he will have to hand it over obediently! Ziming, tell me, is this the truth I said! Yes... Hahahaha..."
With Jiang Qin's words, he and Zhu Zhi burst into laughter again.
Lu Meng stuffed the orange into his mouth and said, "You can't be too happy, the county lord hasn't arrived at Dongting Lake yet..."
"It's pretty much it." Zhu Zhi looked at the river to the east: "The small canopy boat can move faster than us!" β
"Let's talk about something else..."Lu Meng changed the topic, and couldn't help but his face became a little heavy, "I didn't expect that Jiaozhou had already placed the Eight Bull Crossbow on the warship..."
It is precisely because of Lu Meng's words.
Jiang Qin and Zhu Zhi's originally sunny cheeks suddenly became cloudy.
They all know what that means.
Just now... That water war.
Originally...
In the face of fifty Jiaozhou warships, thirty warships of Soochow were not in sight at all.
But the Jiaozhou warship was able to smash the warship of Eastern Wu overnight, and the picture of the instant destruction was still in the hearts of Jiang Qin and Zhu Zhi... Vivid and visible.
And Jiaozhou is just buying the "Eight Bull Crossbows" of the Shuishui Villa, which is enough to transfer this big killing weapon to the warship and double the combat power of the naval army.
Not to mention the Jingzhou Water Army, as well as the Jiangxia Water Army that is as famous as the Eastern Wu Water Army.
Now...
At least, for now...
The Dongwu Navy and the Jingzhou Navy are facing each other, and there is no certainty of victory!
The navy that Soochow relied on to become famous and "megatron" no longer exists!
This is where the whole body is touched.
"We have to take the Gangneung Castle..."
Jiang Qin and Zhu Zhi actually spoke in unison...
It is small to capture Jiangling, take the Shuishui Villa, and capture the arsenal of Jingzhou... Take down the manufacturing diagram of the eight-ox crossbow, that's the truth!
This is too important!
It is no exaggeration to say that the warship equipped with the Eight Bull Crossbows, as well as the hot air balloon that can fly from the sky to the Yangtze River, have seriously threatened Soochow...
- It's an existential crisis!
"Deputy Governor Lu? When to raid Gangneung? Jiang Qin asked seriously.
Lu Meng slowly raised his eyes and glanced at him, and wanted to prevaricate casually, but Zhu Zhi also asked for orders: "If you attack Jiangling, I am willing to take Zhu Jiajun as the striker and take the Shuishui Villa into the possession of Dongwu!" Fight a bloody way for Deputy Governor Lu! β
"It's to break the game for Soochow!" Lu Meng said softly, he found that he could no longer prevaricate the two generals in front of him.
is even more reluctant to pour cold water on their fierce fighting spirit.
"Jingbei, Jingnan, if you want to attack Jiangling, you must first take Changsha, although we have folded five warships this time, but we have also found out the reality of this Xiangjiang waterway... Especially the beacon tower that is still under construction, I have ordered someone to record every place..."
"Those beacons are used for birds?" Jiang Qin didn't feel that the beacon tower was powerful at all.
Lu Meng said, "To break Changsha and Jiangling, my Dongwu is bound to raid, and I am bound to give Jiangling and Changsha a swift blow with the power of thunder, but if this beacon tower cannot be broken, then the surprise attack of Dongwu will be spied on, and when the time comes... The enemy is on guard, Guan Yu sends the navy to help, then... It's hard to think about Changsha and Jiangling again! β
Speaking of this, Lu Meng gritted his teeth, and his tone became heavier, "There is only one chance for us-"
Zhu Zhi listened and felt that it made sense, but he suddenly thought of something, "But the Governor of Lusu... Still in Jiangxia, by Guan Lin's side, if we raid Changsha and Jiangling, he... He..."
This...
Zhu Zhi's words made Lu Meng pause.
It was only for a moment, and his eyes became resolute again.
"Wu Hou said that it is precisely because the governor of Lusu is in Jiangxia that Guan Yu would never have thought that we would raid Changsha and Jiangling! Governor Lu used his safety to find this fighter for our Eastern Wu! I think... If it were him, he would have supported us in doing soβ"
Call...
With Lu Meng's words, Jiang Qin and Zhu Zhi were both stunned.
On the contrary, it was Lu Meng at this moment, and there was a little more gloom in his eyes that was the same as Sun Quan.
That's when ...
"Look..."Jiang Qin seemed to have spied something from the river, he quickly stood up and pointed ahead.
Lu Meng and Zhu Zhi also turned their heads at the same time, and saw the front of the fleet of ships, a canopy boat was heading towards them, and as the awning boat got closer and closer, Zhu Ran's appearance on the bow became clearer and clearer.
He was smiling and waving at the fleet.
It looks like something big has been done!
Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, seeing his son's appearance, Zhu Zhi stroked his beard, "It seems that the county lord has been sent to Dongting Lake, and this time the operation was a great success!" β
Jiang Qin sighed with emotion: "The tiger father has no dog, this time Major General Zhu Ran's strategy is appropriate, which is the first credit!" β
"Where, where..."Zhu Zhi hurriedly said modestly.
Lu Meng said, "General Zhu Ran is a young hero, this time's merits, the governor of Pontus will truthfully report to Wu Hou, General Zhu has a good way to teach his son, and he has a good way to teach his sonββ"
When Lu Meng's words came out, Zhu Zhi could only respond with a smile, and at this time, no matter how modest it was, it seemed a little deliberate.
Rather... This time's plan, his son Zhu Ran's deployment is really wonderful!
The son should have a bright future, a bright future -

Dongting Lake.
This lake, which began in the Spring and Autumn Period and was named after the Dongting Mountain in the lake, was known as the "Eight Hundred Miles of Dongting" during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and was the second largest freshwater lake in the land of China.
Back then... Cao Cao's "Xuanwu Pool" naval army trained in Yecheng arrived in Chibi, and it was here that the army was reorganized for war.
It was also here that he lost his "right to control water" and was forced to take the land route to the end of Yunmengze, the muddy path called "Huarong Road"!
At this moment, the entrance of this eight-hundred-mile cave garden.
There was constant singing coming from a fleet.
- "Jiangnan can vegetable lotus, lotus leaves He Tiantian, fish play between lotus leaves." β
The singing is melodious...
I couldn't stop singing for a day, and in the end... The melodious and quiet is gone, replaced by a hoarse tone, which mingles with the sound of the case on the river.
Here it is... Gan Ning and Zhu Ran agreed to hand over the waters of "Sun Shangxiang" and "Adou".
Gan Ning waited for more than half a day until dusk... I still didn't see even a canopy ship with a "code".
The soldiers around him were hoarse because they sang the "code" song.
But even so, there has never been a ship that can let them try to understand the in-depth code of "the city gate is a few zhang high, and the city gate is thirty-six zhang high and high"!
"What's going on?"
Wearing an orange turban and a splendid dress, Gan Ning was holding a halberd in one hand and wiping sweat on his forehead with the other.
He had an ominous premonition...
The premonition is getting stronger.
Then...
Several small boats arrived quickly.
The soldiers on the small boat hurriedly reported: "-Report, General Zhu Ran's canopy boat has not been found within a radius of fifty miles!" β
"ββReport, two hundred miles from the entrance of Dongting Lake, no general Zhu Ran's canopy boat was found."
"-Newspaper..."
Almost the entire nearby waters, Gan Ning has sent someone to check, but... What about people? What about the awning boat? What about Zhu Ran? What about Mrs. Sun? What about Adou?
All of a sudden, this made Gan Ning confused...
He won't!
It stands to reason that in the entire waters of Dongting Lake, he has "water thief" brothers, and as long as a ship steps into it, the news will soon reach Gan Ning's ears.
But... No, from beginning to end, none!
"What about people?"
At this time, Gan Ning couldn't hold his breath, he scratched his head, and asked suspiciously: "According to the plan, shouldn't this be there half a day ago?" Can now? What about people? β
With this sentence, Gan Ning's heart... A strange feeling roared out.
Like, what did he miss...
No way!
Immediately, Gan Ning's heart was crossed, "If you continue to stay here, I will go to find it myself..."
He couldn't sit still anymore!
The voice did not fall...
In the river under dusk, more than 20 warships appeared in front of Gan Ning's eyes.
With the faint light, Gan Ning could clearly see the huge "Wu" and "Lu" characters on the bow of the ship!
Gan Ning realized that this was the thirty warships of LΓΌ Meng's "Ming Xiu Plank Road"...
Can...
"That's not rightβ"
Immediately, Gan Ning was a deep groan.
Thirty warships are back?
So... What about the awning boat? How could it be that thirty warships came back first?
This is different from Zhu Ran's plan?
It's not like Zhu Ran eloped with Mrs. Sun... Slipped away, right?
The thirty warships got closer and closer, and Gan Ning's mood became more and more urgent.
β¦
But a quarter of an hour.
On the warship, when Gan Ning chanted the news that he had not received "Sun Shangxiang" and "Liu Chan".
The whole deck exploded!
Totally blown up!
Exploded!
Lu Meng, Zhu Zhi, Zhu Ran, Jiang Qin, they all seemed to be in endless confusion and helplessness, especially Zhu Ran...
He felt like a bolt of lightning fell from the sky, steadily hitting his head, just like "five thunderbolts"!
And when all eyes turned to him...
Zhu Ran was at a loss, and he explained passively: "I... I'm at noon..."
"In... Fifteen miles from Dongting Lake... Give the county lord and Liu Chan to... I've handed it over to the Jin Sailing Boat, it's... It was a lieutenant general of General Gan, and he... He was dressed in the military uniform of the brocade sailing ship, and he truthfully recited the code, he... He must be the one in this plan! β
"Adjutant general?" Gan Ning was stunned, "At noon, all my lieutenant generals and all the naval brothers were all in the agreed waters of Dongting Lake, and no one had ever taken a step out and was righteous?" You... How can you hand over your wife and Liu Chan to my subordinates? β
"Yes..."Lu Meng also asked, "Didn't you say the agreed waters?" Why didn't you go to the agreed waters and hand over the people in advance? β
"I..." Zhu Ran opened his mouth, but only uttered the word "I", and he felt a throbbing pain in his chest.
Why?
He now also wants to ask himself why?
Could it be that it's a childhood sweetheart, the tension after a long absence? Is it the dazedness and palpitations when you dare not face each other?
Otherwise... Otherwise, how could he, Zhu Ran, make such a mistake!
It seems that in just one moment, Zhu Ran has changed from a "hero" supported by everyone and a "promising future" in the mouth of everyone to a target of all people, and a heinous existence.
And that's not what pains him the most.
This feeling of gaining and losing made him feel a palpitation in his heart for no reason, as if he had glimpsed the hideous corner of hell through that thin layer of skin, and Sun Shangxiang's burning image flickered, and then disappeared in front of his eyes eternally and completely.
"Who the hell did you give people to?" This time it's a question from my father Zhu Zhi...
"I..." Zhu Ran looked at Gan Ning, he still wanted to repeat the previous answer, but now he realized.
Wrong...
Everything was wrong.
Be... It was someone who pretended to be Gan Ning's vice general, pretended to be a Jin sailboat, and even said the code of the joint, and took Sun Shangxiang and Liu Chan away in advance!
But... These... These...
Zhu Ran had too many questions in his mind.
It is true that he did not send people to the agreed waters, but why could the other party say the code of the joint.
This code is not only Lu Meng, Gan Ning, Jiang Qin... And my father knows?
The lieutenant...
The lieutenant in the "orange" turban, how could he know?
Immediately, an idea flashed through Zhu Ran's mind, and as the burst of gaze came, this thought began to become stronger and stronger.
"I see... I see..."
"I know, I know..."
For a moment, he seemed to be stunned, he covered his head, and kept shouting, "I know..."
Zhu Zhi pressed his hands on his shoulders and looked at his son sadly, "You know what, you said... Tell everything you know! β
Others are worried... Where will Sun Shangxiang and Liu Chan meet?
Zhu Zhi is the only one who is worried... How should his son get away with it!
The current guilt, the guilt of losing the lord of Dongwu and the prince of Bashu, if it reaches Sun Quan's ears, then... That must be a capital offense! There's no room for turnaround!
Finally, under Zhu Zhi's desperate shaking, Zhu Ran looked around at the people in front of him, and he muttered: "Someone leaked secrets... Somebody leaked among us, somebody leaked the code..."
Lu Meng's eyes suddenly became gloomy.
"What do you mean?"
"We have internal ghosts..."Zhu Ran didn't care anymore, his childhood sweetheart's lover, the pain of gaining and losing made his heart ache, "Inner ghosts... Some of us have fornicated Jingzhou and will... Leak the code, will... Robbed the county lord and Liu Chan! β
With Zhu Ran's words, everyone here was silent.
The originally relaxed atmosphere suddenly became extremely heavy.
Even the entire deck of the warship was trembling... It seems to reflect everyone's mood.
At this time, a person who was also on this warship quickly flashed a sneer on his lips, and then he was expressionless, and everything seemed to be nothing!
β¦
β¦
Sun Shangxiang felt that she had a dream, a beautiful dream.
That was six years ago, that year, she was twenty-eight years old, which was the age when love first opened.
In the elegant hall of the Dongwu side, she deliberately gave the childhood sweetheart man in front of her a soft look, and then smiled silently, and the group turned around lightly and disappeared into the corner of a small building nearby.
But she didn't go far, she hid in the shadows and looked at her childhood sweetheart's man...
It's Zhu Ran!
Sure enough, Zhu Ran was attracted by her beauty, and involuntarily took a few steps forward, wanting to take two more looks, but suddenly felt that the soles of his feet were sloppy, and the corners of his eyes swept a little reflection at the same time.
When he looked down, he saw that it was a delicate pearl hairpin, and at some point, it fell from the head of the person he was thinking about.
Zhu Ran leaned over and picked up the pearl hairpin, all that came to mind was Sun Shangxiang's appearance, and his heart moved, and he immediately put the pearl hairpin into his sleeve...
At this moment, Zhu Ran seemed to suddenly think of something, and his expression became gloomy overnight.
He didn't chase Sun Shangxiang, but went in the opposite direction.
It's a great way to go!
Sun Shangxiang, who was in the shadows, didn't see the change in Zhu Ran's expression, and only muttered in a low voice, "Took my Zhu Hai and ran away?" See you run out of my palm? β
But at this moment...
A voice came from the pavilion on the side.
It was the voice of the second brother Sun Quan.
"Mother, there is a bouquet here, symbolizing the little sister and the childhood sweetheart of Yifeng, and there is a sword here, symbolizing the kindness of the Sun family to the little sister, when the Ganlu Temple... Mother asked the little sister to choose, but today she wants to let Yifeng choose first, if he chooses this bouquet, then he will be with the little sister, and nothing else! But if he chooses this sword, it means that he Zhu Ran will represent the 'Wu County' Zhu family, stand firmly with the Sun family, join Liu to fight against Cao, and fight to the death with the Cao thief... However, that also means that Yifeng will put the beloved... Send it to someone else! His fate with his little sister was cut in two! β
"Actually...", the next voice came from Wu Guotai's crying tone, "I... I've already let Yifeng choose first! β
"What did he choose?" Sun Quan asked urgently: "Is it a flower?" β
Wu Guotai shook his head and wept: "It's a sword-"
And with Wu Guotai's words, Sun Quan was pleasantly surprised, "In other words, Yifeng decided to agree with the little sister to marry Liu Bei, who had never even seen him, for the sake of the overall situation!" β
Wu Guotai's voice became more and more pathetic...
"Next, let's see how Xiang'er chooses when Ganlu Temple!"
Call...
At this moment, Sun Quan took a deep breath, "Cao Thief is powerful, and the disputes within Eastern Wu must be resolved first... Zhou Lang holds the military power, but the four major families of Wu County and the four major families of Huiji have all the resources in their hands, and they are already on the same footing! β
"Mother, the child needs time to check and balance, before the situation in Eastern Wu is stabilized, between us and Cao Cao, we need Liu Bei, an ally, and Jingzhou... Such a military buffer zone... I think Xiang'er will understand... Didn't Dad say that? Sun Jiaerlang, I would rather die than surrender, but die on the battlefield, not die in the hotbed! β
Rumble...
The dream has turned into a nightmare!
However, this is what Sun Shangxiang has personally experienced, and it is also the original intention that made him make that unwilled choice in Ganlu Temple!
- "Sun Jiaerlang, I'd rather die than surrender, but die on the battlefield, don't you die in the hotbed?" β
Whispering...
Sun Shangxiang rubbed her eyes, and then she noticed that she had just fallen asleep... I slept extremely groggily, and my whole body was extremely tired, as if I had slept for several whole days...
Now, however, the entire ship was surprisingly quiet, except for the sound of the river lapping on the deck outside.
"Where's Adou? What about the silent night? β
Sun Shangxiang couldn't help but groan...
It's weird.
It stands to reason that Adou's temperament, accompanied by Li Jingxiao, should be playing all the way, how could he suddenly lose his voice?
The warship was eerily quiet.
"Madame is awake, that... It's time to disembark, too. β
The man in the orange turban appeared in front of Sun Shangxiang's eyes...
Sun Shangxiang subconsciously refuted: "How many times have I said, don't call me Mrs.!" Do you have no ears, or are you deliberately humiliating me? β
Sun Shangxiang is angry...
Madam, this rhetoric that buried her best time is still buried deep in her heart, as her "reverse scale" existence.
It's just that... In the face of Sun Shangxiang's reprimand, the man with the orange turban was not afraid.
"Ma'am, let's get off the boatβ"
As he spoke, the man turned and walked out of the cabin.
"What's your name?" Sun Shangxiang asked angrily: "Aren't you afraid, your general will punish you?" β
No matter what Sun Shangxiang asked, what responded to her was a deathly silence.
At this time, Sun Shangxiang realized something, and she hurriedly shouted: "Adou... Adou..."
Seeing that there was no response, she changed her words again: "Jingxiao... Silent Night..."
But there was still no response.
Suddenly, a huge sense of fear spread all over her body, Sun Shangxiang's brows tightened, she pushed open the hatch, and quickly ran out, but saw the scene in front of her...
It's not Jianye City...
Not even the familiar Koto, but ... It's a strange port, a strange city.
"Where is this?"
"I... How did I end up here? β
Sun Shangxiang shouted helplessly, looking left and right while trying to grab something with his hand, but... It was as if he was the only one left on the entire warship, and she couldn't catch anything.
And at this very moment.
"Madame..."
A voice came from behind him.
Sun Shangxiang subconsciously wanted to repeat the general words of "retract this title", but the moment she looked back, she was stunned, her open mouth seemed to be frozen.
And the surprise and vibration in her heart stretched her mouth wide again and again...
It's still the right time to speak.
"Ma'am, meet again!"
The one who spoke was a handsome man with silver armor and silver spear, his eyes narrowed, his posture was extremely strong and straight, and a gentian bright silver spear showed a different kind of edge under the reflection of the sparkling river.
But it's not Changshan Zhao Zilong, who else can there be?
"Zhao... Zhao Zilong? Sun Shangxiang exclaimed.
Zhao Yun opened his mouth as if expected, "Madame probably wouldn't have thought of it... We will meet at Xiakou in Jiangxia! β
"Xia Kou..."Sun Shangxiang was stunned...
This is not Soochow, but... It's Guan Yu, no... Is it Jiangxia under Guan Lin's rule?
Here, Zhao Yun and Sun Shangxiang chatted casually about those few words unexpectedly and reasonably.
Over there, the man in the orange turban finally tore off the thick layer of human skin mask.
A young, handsome, and heroic boy reappeared under the firmament.
- It's Ling Tong!
