"It's better to let the two young ladies make their own choice. Li Miao's old face flushed, and said to Qiao Gong, at this moment, let's be a dead horse and a live horse doctor, Li Miao knows that he has touched Da Qiao, and he should be able to have a play, and Xiao Qiao, Li Miao can only resign himself to fate.
Hearing Li Miao's words, Qiao Gong was silent for a while.
"Gong Qiao, I don't have any other intentions, I just want to know the choices of the two young ladies and respect their decisions. Li Miao explained that in this era, there are people who respect women's decisions, not to mention that Li Miao's army has entered the city, and Qiao Gong's daughter can rob it even if she robs it.
But Li Miao's words made Qiao Gong very useful, these big families all want a face, Li Miao's posture, Qiao Gong was very relieved.
Xiao Qiao was apprehensive for a while, waited for a moment and saw that Li Miao really didn't choose, and said that he would listen to the opinions of his two sisters, and suddenly blushed and secretly spoke.
"This General Li really can't bear me. Little Joe was heartless.
After reacting, Xiao Qiao hurriedly ran towards the West Wing Mansion, she couldn't wait to tell her sister the good news. Kneel down and beg for a hundred black!
Little Joe hurried to the backyard and saw her sister sitting aside, not knowing what she was thinking.
Xiao Qiao asked softly, "Sister, guess who is here?"
Da Qiao was not interested, and just chuckled, "Who?"
Xiao Qiao sold a pass, "Sister, the general who came here wants to woo his father,"
Da Qiao's heart immediately tightened, this day is really coming.
Said lightly, "Oh." β
Da Qiao was very calm, but it startled Xiao Qiao, Xiao Qiao hurriedly took his sister's hand and said, "Sister, what's wrong with you, why don't you have any meaning of sadness? Don't you want to marry General Li?"
Da Qiao Zhengse said, "Since someone has come to propose marriage, I'm afraid I'm going to get married, those soldiers and horses have already entered the city, and it will definitely be difficult for my father to fight against them, for the sake of the family, I will not let it go." β
Big Joe was a little sobbed, as the eldest daughter, she was much heavier than her mental years.
When she said these words, Da Qiao was only depressed, it should have been after Xiao Qiao left just now, she cried again, and she figured it out, and she couldn't refute Qiao Gong's words.
With Da Qiao's appearance, Xiao Qiao didn't dare to tease, so he hurriedly stomped his feet and said, "Sister, the general who came here is General Li, the same General Li who went to the restaurant with us last time." β
Xiao Qiao shook his sister's hand, "Daddy seems to have allowed him to marry, and let the two sisters choose it, I'm afraid, Daddy will soon call someone to return the two of us." β
"What?"
Da Qiao covered his mouth and exclaimed, "You say, Li ...... General Li?" Da Qiao obviously couldn't believe it, last time Li Miao was just a general in Wancheng, and of course they already knew Li Miao's true identity, he was Li Shu's son, that is, the contemporary puppet emperor of Zhongguo, but they all felt that this Li Miao had nothing to do with the cowardice and mediocrity in people's mouths, she had already heard about it in Xiao Qiao's mouth, and she expected to counterattack Wancheng so quickly.
Surprise was followed by surprise, and Big Joe almost hid his face and wept.
"Yes, sister. Seeing Da Qiao's joyful look, Xiao Qiao smiled. "It seems that my sister is going to marry General Li. Speaking of which, Xiao Qiao was a little disappointed.
Da Qiao's face flushed, and his face showed a shyness on his fingers.
"Sister, don't joke, if General Li wants to ask you for a kiss. That being said, Big Joe just made a joke.
Little Joe lowered his head, a little overwhelmed. In fact, she didn't know what to do, the girl Huaichun, not to mention that the two girls almost knew this man, and the usual courtship was politely rejected by Qiao Gong, and the guards scared away all the unscrupulous people when they went out of the city to hang out.
The two of them really knew General Li and the younger guard.
Before the two sisters finished whispering, Qiao Gong ran to the backyard and saw that the two sisters were together, and Qiao Gong also called.
Da Qiao pretended not to know, "Daddy, what is the matter with me and my sister?"
Gong Qiao stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Father has decided to choose one of the two of you to marry General Li." "Lest my daughter didn't know who General Li was, Qiao Gong added, "It's the general who helped you and others recapture the jade pendant before......"
After glancing at Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, Qiao Gong said, "Which of you wants to accept this family business?"
Although Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao had known about this matter for a long time, Qiao Gong still made the two of them a little nervous when she said it in person, and Da Qiao ** fluctuated slightly, because it was difficult to say it in person.
But Xiao Qiao was more daring, she stared at Qiao Gong, as if her eyes were full of longing.
Gong Qiao thought that the second daughter was embarrassed, but it was obvious that Xiao Qiao was more interested, so he smiled and said, "If you two have no opinion, then let Xiao Qiao'er marry General Li." β
Suddenly, Da Qiao opened his cherry mouth wide, his black eyes were round, looking at his father's decision in disbelief, his nose was sour and he was about to cry, Da Qiao said bravely, "Daddy, Da Qiao is willing to marry General Li." β
Qiao Gong's hand stroking his beard suddenly stiffened, thinking why didn't you even raise your head just now.
When Xiao Qiao heard his father's words, as well as his sister, who was usually so quiet, he was not to be outdone, pinching the corners of his white skirt with both hands, and said, "Daddy, I am also willing to marry General Li." β
In an instant, Qiao Gong only felt that the five thunders were thundering, and the palm under his jaw was slightly forced, almost pulling off a few beards, and coughing twice.
"What did you say?"
Qiao Gong cupped his forehead and laughed at himself.
"Could it be that I'm already fainting? I remember the last time Li Shu came to propose, the two daughters loved to ignore it, that was Jiangdong Sun Bawang, what is so good about this Li Miao now, he can get the favor of his two daughters. β
But these two women serve a husband together, and they are also biological sisters, which is really too much of an impact on Qiao Gong's senses, and he can't accept it for a while.
"Do you say it again?" Qiao Gong thought he was ringing in his ears.
"Daddy, we all want to marry General Li. Big Qiao and Little Qiao glanced at each other, smiled at each other, and then said bravely to Gong Qiao.
This time, Qiao Gong heard it clearly, and all the good moods just now disappeared, and he snorted coldly, "You two are sisters, serving a husband together?!! this decision is too ridiculous! "Gong Qiao flicked his sleeves, if the two daughters married Li Miao, and Li Miao was defeated in the end, then his Qiao family would be completely finished.
Qiao Gong turned around and didn't give face at all.
"That's not right!" Da Qiao pouted, and after a while, explained, "Daddy, you listen to me and decide whether you want to agree or not." β
Qiao Gong waved his sleeves and sat down, and said in a deep voice, "Say." β
Da Qiao is quick-witted, Qiao Gong knows, and now he also wants to see what his daughter can say.
"Daddy, I know that you are unwilling to let me and Xiao Qiao marry General Li for the sake of the rise of the family. However, there are only three of us left in our family, and the rest are the servants in the family. β
Da Qiao said, "Since moving from Chaisang to Wancheng, the family has been in a slump. β
Qiao Gong sighed secretly, knowing that what Da Qiao said was the truth, their Qiao family was not as big as the world, and Qiao Gong's status was only more prominent before, and now his status was insufficient, and he could not provide assistance for his daughter by Li Miao's side, even if Li Miao could achieve great things, it was just because of the size of Qiao Da Qiao didn't know Qiao Gong's thoughts, and continued.
"And if my sister and I serve the general together, support each other and help each other, we can get the general's favor and have a stable position, aren't you at ease, daddy?"
Qiao Gong sighed secretly, he also understood this truth, but what is the possibility of Li Miao's success? The big clans in the world are all separated, such as the three brothers Zhuge Liang who are common in the Three Kingdoms, and Wei, Shu and Wu have all three sides, just to stabilize the power of the family and avoid being served by others.
And the Qiao family has only two daughters, and now that Li Miao has entered the city, a daughter is bound to be sent out, and eggs can't be put in one basket, which is also what Qiao Gong must do.
But Da Qiao's words gave him a revelation, the Qiao family does have almost nothing but fame now, the heirs are not strong, and the family is sidelined, so who does the family want for the interests of the family?
Qiao Gong has already begun to loosen.
It is what he, as a father, should do to make his two daughters happy.
"But, you two ......," Qiao Gong sighed, but was interrupted by Xiao Qiao, "Daddy, you are just worried about the consequences of the two of us marrying General Li together." β
Qiao Gong bowed his head and was silent, after all, he was an old man with a lot of fame, and he would not care about his reputation, and Xiao Qiao happened to see his hesitation.
"Daddy, I already heard Green Willow say just now that General Li couldn't help but go into the city and did not commit any crimes in the autumn, and when he was in Huainan, he also collected refugees and provided food and lodging for those homeless refugees. Although General Li is called a thief, but his behavior is so benevolent, can't he be compared to the sages?"
Qiao Gong's eyebrows froze, he seemed to understand what Xiao Qiao meant.
"You mean...... Emperor Shun?"
Qiao Gong's pupils were slightly dilated.
"Yes, Daddy, since ancient times, there have been Empress E and Nuying serving a husband, and Emperor Shun is even more famous in later generations, a generation of benevolent monarchs, and now General Li is benevolent and righteous, why can't we follow the example of the ancient sages, and also provide assistance for General Li's reputation. β
Xiao Qiao's brain turned fast, and he quickly linked marriage with politics, so that he could add a layer of benevolence, righteousness and gentleness to Li Miao's anti-thief, why not.
Xiao Qiao's eyes turned, and Bing Xue asked smartly, "Daddy, my sister and I are more advantageous to marry General Li than one of them to marry General Li." β
Qiao Gong's tense face suddenly showed a smile, and he said happily, "Little Qiao'er, you are really smart and clever, since you sisters are willing to marry Li Miao, then I can't say anything, then I will tell General Li the news, you all be mentally prepared." β
Seeing his father's agreement, all the big and small Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, and Da Qiao stretched out his thumb to Xiao Qiao, revealing a pure smile like an iceberg snow lotus.
The two women were able to choose their husbands freely, and they were so excited in their hearts.
After Qiao Gong finished speaking, he left the backyard, and Li Miaoke was still sitting in the hall.
Back in the hall, Qiao Gong smiled and said, "General Li, don't blame, I discussed with the little girl just now, and this is just the end of it." β
Li Miao was drinking a cup of tea, and when he saw Qiao Gong coming back, he hurriedly got up, and he didn't have the unruly look of ordinary princes, and Qiao Gong was even more satisfied.
"General Li, Lao Er has a reluctant request, I don't know if General Li can agree?"
Li Miao's heart sank, Niang Xipi, aren't the two beautiful sisters willing to marry me? Li Miao cried and said with a sad face, I am quite handsome.
"I don't know what Qiao Gong wants, just do my best. β
Li Miao has already decided that if you can't write it, you will come to Wu, if you don't marry, Lao Tzu will ...... It's strong!
Qiao Gong smiled awkwardly, "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that both the little girls are fond of the general, I don't know if the general can accept the two little girls?"
Qiao Gong was embarrassed to say it, his two daughters were taken away, and it was a shame!
"What?"
Li Miao was so excited that he almost fainted.
βDoublekillοΌβ
"It's a double kill!"
Li Miao didn't want to, but wanted to do it too much, just now he just wanted to try his luck, and by the way, he took the sister paper that really liked him, and he wanted to be a gentleman, but he didn't expect both of them to like him.
Happiness came too suddenly.
"This is providence. β
Li Miao was secretly excited, but his mouth was not idle.
"What does Gong Qiao mean, since both of them can afford to be able to afford it, they must accept your reluctant invitation, take care of Qiao, don't mention two, even if Gong Qiao, your old man has three, or four daughters, they are willing to help Gong Qiao......"
Li Miao was almost incoherent.
Qiao Gong's excited face instantly darkened.
Also three, four......
Excited enough, Li Miao immediately said, "Gong Qiao, don't hide it from your old man, I will let Yang Situ come to discuss with Gong Qiao about the time and etiquette of Ming Media's marriage, and when I come back from the battle, how about marrying Ling Yan?"
Qiao Gong nodded, Li Miao was able to take things to heart, and he, the "national master", was very pleased.
The two of them decided, Li Miao left the table, and prepared for the raid on the Tiger Forest.
Jiangdong Sun Quan, his right eyelid picked, and he sneezed, feeling that something was going to happen.
"Someone! Send scouts to guard against Jiangxia!" the attendant took the order and left.
That night, in the east of Anhui City, 6,000 soldiers and horses stood solemnly.
Under Yang Hong's arrangement, the boats crossing the river were already in place, they only needed to cross the river and raid, Tai Shici and Liu Ye led three thousand soldiers and horses to cross the river first, and then went east along the river and rushed to the three mountains to attack.
With Liu Ye and Tai Shi Ci together, Li Miao was not worried at all, and after Tai Shi Ci led the army to leave, Li Miao watched silently for a moment, and when the warship sent these soldiers and horses ashore, it was almost the time when the ship carried Li Miao and others, and the two sides marched almost at the same time.
Because the Hulin River that Li Miao wants to attack is much closer than the three mountains.
At night, there is only the sound of the surrounding soldiers and horses, and the sound of the waves in the Yangtze River in front.
"Ziyi, military advisor, the task of storming the three mountains will be handed over to the two of you," Li Miao said earnestly, and then asked Liu Ye to act at the opportunity, Liu Ye naturally understood what Li Miao meant, and if he really couldn't attack it, he would have to cross the river and go back, Liu Ye even knew better than Li Miao that Tai Shici was important to Jiang Ting.
