Chapter Eighty-Five: Lovers Reunited
Zhou Yu paced back and forth and said, "Since the person who appeared later is not a Yue person, why did he want to save that Yue person? Moreover, how did he know that that Yue person would break into the Wu Palace at night tonight?"
They shook their heads. Zhou Yu analyzed: "Judging from the matter of saving people, I think there should be a force group that is cooperating with Shanyue. It seems that this group of forces is not simple, and one person can defeat one of our armies. As far as you know, who can do that?"
Gan Ning and Lu Meng glanced at each other, and suddenly realized: "White Tiger Team!"
Zhou Yu was stunned in surprise. Gan Ning said: "In this way, it is indeed possible. Cao Cao estimated that he had arranged in advance for the White Tigers to infiltrate the Yue people and plot with the Yue people on how to deal with our army. Because Cao Cao was afraid of our naval army, he had to use the power of the Yue people in this way to decompose our forces from within. ”
Lu Meng was puzzled: "In this case, he could have killed us all just now, why did he only injure us?" Unless the masked man doesn't belong to Cao Jun's camp. ”
Gan Ning couldn't figure it out for a while, the whole thing was too weird.
"There should be some inside information that we don't know yet. I think the cooperation between the White Tigers and Yamagoe is basically certain, so in the future, we must be more cautious and strengthen the protection forces inside and outside the palace. Neither the White Tigers nor Yamakoshi would necessarily play their cards according to common sense, and if they sent a more powerful assassin to assassinate the lord next time, we would be in big trouble. Zhou Yu was worried.
"Yes, we will definitely strengthen the guard!" Gan Ning and Lu Mengqi said.
"It seems that there is little hope of saving people. Zhou Yu frowned, frustrated. He originally wanted to get some information about Xiao Qiao through the copper grid, but now he can't even catch anyone, let alone save people.
Just as he was despairing, a person outside stumbled in, panting and saying, "Just now... Little Lady Joe and... Crystal ball... Outside the palace, the governor is going quickly... See... Take a look..."
Zhou Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly ran outside to take a look, and sure enough, joy fell from the sky, and Xiao Qiao and the crystal ball came back safe and sound!
"Zhou Lang!" Xiao Qiao finally saw her husband who had been separated for a long time, and immediately rushed over. The two hugged each other and cried.
Zhou Yu couldn't believe the facts in front of her, hugged her tightly, and said, "Is it really you, Xiao Qiao?
"It's me, I'm back!" Little Joe burst into tears.
Zhou Yu burst into tears and said, "Xiao Qiao, do you know how much I miss you......?"
He poured out his thoughts to his lover as if he was pouring out a torrent that had been gathering for a long time.
Xiao Qiao said with a mixture of sadness and joy: "I really regret that I didn't listen to persuasion at the beginning, otherwise this kind of thing would not have happened, Zhou Lang, please forgive me for my willfulness." I was taken captive by the Yue people, and later sent to the Wolf Bone Mountain, where I stayed with the Yue King. Although I have been in the Yue tribe for more than a year, I have never committed to anyone, and although the king of Yue has repeatedly forced me to be his wife, I swear to die. Later, he 'crowned' me as Mrs. Zhai and did a ceremony, but that was only because I looked like his deceased wife. King Yue was not an unreasonable man, he never tried to coerce me into submission, but only hoped that I would one day be spiritually subservient to him. Zhou Lang, please believe me, whether physically or mentally, I have never betrayed you!"
Zhou Yu nodded and said, "I know you won't, Xiao Qiao, I have never blamed you for leaving the palace without permission, and I can only blame myself, I am usually too busy to accompany you." Anyway, it's good to be back!"
The two of them wept silently, tears of joy, and everyone present was moved.
The two kissed each other, completely oblivious to everything around them, as if they were the only ones left in the world...... A year is like a century, and the two are like a lifetime apart. The reunion of lovers who have been separated for 100 years is not something that can be described with pen and ink......
After a stormy kiss, Zhou Yu put on a coat for her and said, "It's cold, don't catch a cold, madam." ”
The two went into the dormitory hand in hand. Wearing Zhou Yu's coat and smelling this long-lost smell, Xiao Qiao was like being in a stove, and a warm current overflowed his heart. Her face was flushed with red, and a happy smile hung on the corner of her mouth, just like the beauty of her first love......
Gan Ning and Lu Meng also went back to heal and rest. Although what happened tonight made the two of them very unhappy, seeing Xiao Qiao come back, it finally added a little comfort, and it can be regarded as a good thing in the bad. Still, they couldn't figure out how she and the crystal ball got back.
After Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao returned to the bedroom, they greeted each other with warmth, and the affection was lingering, and everyone wanted to find the feeling of their first love, after all, they had been separated for a year. They originally thought that they would never see each other again in this life, it was really better to be a human being, and Kong Ming's appearance actually made things take a turn for the better.
Little Joe explained the reason. Zhou Yu said: "If it weren't for the personal interrogation of the Yue man who came to Wu Palace to inquire about the news, I would have gone to Pang Tong for help, but I didn't expect Kong Ming to think the same as me, and Pang Tong actually knew your location, it's really unexpected, I didn't have to wait until today if I knew it." This crystal ball is really a holy relic, I didn't expect us to have immortals to help!"
"But you have to promise me that you must never tell anyone about it. Little Joe said. The old fairy had instructed that the fact that he was secretly helping her and that the crystal ball was carrying her back must not be publicized.
Zhou Yu nodded and said, "Madam, don't worry, I, Zhou Yu, am also a reasonable person." Tomorrow we will go to the ancestral hall to burn some incense sticks and thank the gods. ”
"Thank you not only to the gods, but also to those who went to save me. I was really touched by the courage to risk my life to save someone I didn't know. Xiao Qiao still can't forget Yang Ji's sacrifice to save him, and she is also quite worried about Yang Ji's current safety, and she only hates herself for being powerless.
"Well, as long as I see him, I will definitely thank him in person!" Zhou Yu said.
At this time, Sun Quan rushed to hear the news, saw Xiao Qiao, and said happily: "You are finally back!
"Thank you for your concern. Xiao Qiao made a palace salute.
"Well, it's good that I haven't forgotten the etiquette of my state. Sun Quan joked.
"Lord, I've only been away for a year, and my memory is okay. Little Joe also joked.
Sun Quan stroked his palms and laughed. Xiao Qiao said: "It was Mr. Pang Tong who sent someone to save me, and Mr. Pang and the person who saved me are all from the Tiangu Sect. ”
"Oh, Pang Shiyuan is teaching in Tiangu?" Sun Quan was surprised.
"Yes. He is now the staff officer of the Tiangu Sect Master, and it was Kong Ming who went up the mountain to ask him for help. Moreover, the crystal ball was also found. Although Zhou Yu was wary of Kong Ming, as far as this matter was concerned, he recognized the other party.
"It's really a good thing to come in pairs! The Tiangu Sect is really powerful! Kong Ming really has a way, he can even find out the news of Pang Tong, and he doesn't even know about Gu, the lord of a state!"
At this time, Wu Guotai and Da Qiao also came, and they hugged Xiao Qiao with tears in their eyes.
Da Qiao is Xiao Qiao's own sister, and she said with concern: "My sister is suffering, you have to rest well during this time, don't work hard." ”
"Thank you sister for your concern. "Little Joe feels very heartwarming today.
Wu Guotai said hello to Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu thanked him: "Guotai is grateful for Yu's heart, Yu! Xiao Qiao can return safely, and it is also thanks to Guotai and the lord's blessing, Yu must do his best to assist the lord and defend Wu!"
"By the way," Sun Quan asked Xiao Qiao, "how did they save you back? Why are they the only ones who came back with the crystal ball?"
Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao glanced at each other. Zhou Yu said: "The Tiangu Sect is a good sect, and they don't want to reward merit, so they left early. ”
"Yes... Yes, they sent me outside the palace and left. Little Joe helped him finish it.
Sun Quan wanted to continue to ask, but Xiao Qiao said, "I haven't eaten dinner yet, please go back and rest first, and talk about it another day, how about it?"
Sun Quan didn't ask any questions, and hurriedly instructed his subordinates to prepare meals. He thought that it would be good if the people came back safely anyway, so he greeted Wu Guotai and Da Qiao again and left, and the crystal ball had returned to the national treasury. Sun Quan decided to send Zhou Yu to Yuanshan on a certain day to reward the Tiangu Sect, and at the same time decided not to execute Lu Ji until another undercover agent was found out.
In this way, Xiao Qiao finally returned to Zhou Yu's side, and the crystal ball returned to Zhao. Kong Ming fulfilled the promise he made to Zhou Yu, and it was less than half a month, although he mainly relied on the help of the Tiangu Sect, but he had to admit that Kong Ming did have a credit that could not be ignored in facilitating this matter.
After Xiao Qiao was carried away by the crystal ball, Yang Ji quietly walked towards the gap when he entered, and had to pass through several patrol points on the way. He cautiously moved forward.
Suddenly, a group of people with torches rushed in front of them. He jumped into the tree.
The Vietnamese soldiers stopped under the tree. One of them scratched the back of his head and said, "What about people? ”
The people looked around, but there was no one to be seen. They held torches high and looked into the trees, but it was too late to see what was on them.
Another suggested: "He must be hiding in a tree, he can't disappear all at once." It's better to find a few people who have done a lot of work to round him up. ”
Based on his voice, Yang Ji recognized that the speaker was the person who went to relieve himself when he was shoveling grass just now, and thought, "Oh no, they already know, I have to escape quickly!"
Through the leaves, he saw two Vietnamese soldiers preparing to jump up. The moment they jumped, he quickly jumped onto another tree.
Unfortunately, his actions were discovered by the people below. Someone pointed to the tree and shouted, "See, he jumped on that tree!"
The two Vietnamese soldiers who had jumped up the tree also saw him by the light of the fire and leaped over together. Just as they were about to "land", Yang Ji quickly got up and kicked one of them down.
The Vietnamese soldiers screamed and fell to the ground, in pain, and the torches also fell. Someone came and carried him away.
When the other saw that his companion had been struck, he drew his saber and said fiercely, "Who are you who dare to trespass on our territory and still spread wild here?"
Yang Ji didn't bother to answer him, and said, "Come on!"
The Vietnamese soldiers gritted their teeth and stabbed straight through. Yang Ji leaned over, flashed the blade, and at the same time used the stone bullet skill, and a small stone was hitting the wrist of the knife holder.
The Vietnamese soldier screamed in pain, let go of his hand, and the knife fell. In a fit of rage, he waved the torch in his other hand and tried to knock the other man down.
Yang Ji took a step back and slammed his palm towards his abdomen. The Vietnamese soldiers used the belly shrinking skill to unload their strength, and then rebounded their palm strength. Yang Ji had expected it, and his hand quickly shrank back, and he also unloaded his strength.
The Vietnamese soldier turned around and kicked round. Yang Ji was startled, quickly lowered his head and flashed, and when the other party did not stand firmly, he pushed it with another palm and hit his chest.
The Vietnamese soldier spat out a mouthful of blood, took several steps back, and knelt down on one leg, his expression painful.
Yang Ji wanted to take advantage of the situation to knock him down, but the Yue soldiers waved torches back and forth to prevent him from approaching. Yang Ji couldn't get close for a while, and the Yue soldiers took the opportunity to stand up.
At this moment, the two sides stood on thick branches and faced each other, less than five meters apart. Yang Ji had to admit that this person's martial arts foundation was okay, if it was an ordinary person, he would not have been able to hold it down.
The Yue soldier clutched his wounded chest and asked, "Who are you?
Yang Ji said: "I'm not an assassin, I'm just here to save people." ”
Yue Bing was stunned for a moment, and sneered: "Hmph, if you want to save Xiao Qiao, it must be Zhou Yu who sent you! However, it is delusional that you alone want to save her!"
"She's out of the cottage. ”
"What? you dare to fool me!"
"I didn't fool you, she really left the cottage. ”
“...... Do you still have a comrade?"
"No, I'm alone. ”
"Then what are you talking nonsense?" Yue Bing thought he was talking nonsense.
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up!" Yang Ji was a little impatient.
The Vietnamese soldiers were provoked by him and waved torches again. Yang Ji didn't hide this time, he reached out and grabbed the torch.
The Vietnamese soldiers were shocked. Yang Ji took advantage of the situation, snatched the torch, and kicked the opponent in the tibia of the right calf. The Vietnamese soldier fell to his knees on one leg.
