Chapter 90 Fragments of the Past III

"The general has an order - don't hurt people, only capture alive! The general has an order - don't hurt people, only capture alive!"

The hooves of dozens of cavalry horses sounded like thunder behind them, and the halberds and swords were covered with a layer of chill in the night.I bent down as much as I could, and hugged the waist of the person in front of me tightly. When I was out of breath, I still did not forget to tease: "Mr. Zhao is very good at riding."

The person in front of me beat the horse non-stop like a torrential rain, and I protested weakly: "Don't hit it, it is already running fast."

"Shut up!" Zhao Xu said fiercely, "If you keep arguing, I'll throw you into the Yangtze River to feed the fish."

"Oh." I nodded, suddenly bent down, and fell to the side. Zhao Xu sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly reached out to grab my collar. I had already slid off the horse like a loach, rolling on the spot to slow down the force of the charge.Zhao Xu cursed angrily, reined in the galloping horse desperately, and came back to pull me.

Brother Ma must be at a loss: Don't guess what men are thinking, and don't guess what women are thinking. If my Lord Ma dies from overwork today, it must be the fault of fickle human beings!

I took a step back and rejected Zhao Xu's extended hand: "Young Master Zhao, the pursuers are approaching, please admit it, today's rescue operation failed. You go, we have another chance."

Zhao Xu immediately looked at me bitterly: "Are you doubting my ability?"

It's unreasonable to play cool at any time.I shook my head and suddenly kicked the horse's ass. Brother Ma immediately suffered from the pain and ran away.

I laughed awkwardly, I originally hoped to save Zhao Xu before I was caught, but in the end, the horse seemed to run in the wrong direction and went straight to the chasing team.

When Zhao Xu and I were tied up and brought to Sun Quan, without saying a word, Sun Quan gave me a big slap in front of all his subordinates.

Well, it hurts, but I asked for it.I licked the broken corner of my mouth a little depressed.

Two hours ago, Zhao Xu responded outside my bedroom. I hesitated for three seconds. The balance that my son had built in my heart fell down because it tilted too much.The fallen scale could no longer be used, so I reverted to my old ways and ran away again.

It took a full four hours to be caught up, which is really a sense of accomplishment.

Sun Quan didn't know if I was still thinking about these things or not.He grabbed me and dragged me behind a big tree surrounded by several people.

"Untie her first."

As the saying goes, family ugliness should not be publicized, so Sun Quan had to lower his angry voice when he was too close to his subordinates, and said sternly, "Try running again?!"

I looked at the woods in the night, and said sadly: "Let's save face for each other, we're not going to see each other forever."

"What do you mean?" He let me go.

I fell down on the grass and looked up at him: "Before I left Jianye, I found something interesting from Ge Tianshi."

Sun Quan did not speak. In the darkness, his emerald pupils shone like a lynx.

As if I had fallen into a terrible nightmare, I said to myself: "General Sun, I hate you now. If you would be more considerate of me, grandma would not have passed away without knowing why. You...you send someone Digged my uncle's grave, didn't I?"

His hands trembled slightly.Zhou Yu's tomb was guarded by soldiers, and it was buried lightly. Except for the lord in front of him who suspected that he had faked his death, no one had the motivation to do it.

Every time I said a word, my voice became colder: "General Sun, I still call you so politely. General, you even dug your uncle's tomb. What's the matter, did you find that he is quiet?" Lying in it quietly? You let someone steal the Taiyi Nine Palaces Astrology Disk, except for Ge Xuan, almost no one can use that thing, right?"

"you……"

I laughed out bitterly: "Haha, hahaha, I always cooperate with you and pretend to be happy. You don't know that my heart is almost dying of pain! The eldest master gave it to me, and I gave it to my uncle, you, how could you..."

I covered my face and burst into tears: "The year my uncle passed away, he was only 36 years old. He shed the last drop of blood for this Jiangdong foundation, for your grandson's family, and for your grandson Quan, but you still don't trust him. You want How long will his soul not rest in peace!"

Surrounded by deathly silence, I cried bitterly for more than ten minutes, put away the sad tears, choked up and said: "You are worried about Qilin jade... Uh, I have already planted the blood deed on my son. You...uh, I made a hexagram, and the hexagram said that what you asked for will definitely come true, you, don't worry."

"I can't help myself," he finally said.

I shook my head and struggled to stand up: "You are not the General Sun I knew. The Sun Quan I knew would try his best to change everything around him to suit himself, but now General Sun can only try his best to change himself to adapt to everything."

"In his position, seek his own government." He said coldly.

I wiped my snot and tears with a handkerchief, and said inarticulately, "I don't understand these things. I'm not the one who wants to be successful. General Sun, let me ask you now, do you still want Alan to stay?"

He stood by his sword, as if he was ready to draw his sword to block my way at any time.

Dawn is approaching, and the round-faced sun is poised to rise through the clouds.I heard Sun Quan say softly: "You, let's go."

When I finished telling this story, he was chewing something with relish, and when he saw me glaring at him, he stretched out his hand flatteringly, and spread a pickled plum that was wet and sweaty in front of me: "Do you want to eat it?"

"Can you be more inhumane?" I put one hand on my hip, pointed at his forehead with one hand, and made a teapot pose, "I told you the story of three nights, you will die if you comfort me Ah, Gongsun Shao!"

"Oh, my dear Alan, it's not that bad that you're talking about the misery, is it?" The man named Gongsun Shao rubbed his blushing forehead: "Okay, I'll comfort you. By the way, what are you doing?" When did you discover my identity?"

I pulled back my sleeves angrily, and sat back on the side of the bed: "I was suspicious when I first saw you."

He choked for a moment, as if he was stuck in the plum core, "So powerful? Tell me."

I ignored him. In fact, apart from the part I told Gongsun Shao, Sun Quan and I still had some conversations.

When I turned to leave, he asked me behind me: "Zhou Lan, have you ever thought of staying?"

The birdsong in the morning was mellow and sweet, my lips moved, and I silently said something that I couldn't understand.Then I turned around and smiled brightly, showing four teeth: "I thought about it, but it was a long time ago."

"You and I have known each other for only five years."

"It's long enough, how many five years can we have in our life? General, Alan has entrusted you with the full power of Li'er. I hope our children can grow up healthy and happy."

He didn't answer me, turned around and ordered to the silent guards in the distance: "Go back to Jianye."

The spring of Jian'an's 15th year has not yet passed, and the winter in my heart has arrived.

Gongsun Shao's question interrupted my recollection: "The Taiyi Jiugong astrolabe, you left it to him?"

I made an inscrutable look: "Leaving it to him is the same as keeping it in my hands. He won't use it. Although it is a sacred object, it also requires blood sacrifices. It is absolutely unusable for ordinary people."

After leaving Nanxu, Zhao Xu and I took the waterway and headed westward. When we reached Lujiang, A Jia and others caught up with us.I privately asked Zhao Xu to send them back to their respective homes.

This is what I said to Zhao Xu: "Although General Sun gave me some face and let them go for a few days, these few people have been locked up for a few days after all. In order to prevent any changes, let them go back first, or you can dispatch some other people." people to use."

Zhao Xu said yes, after staying in Lujiang City, I said goodbye to Ami and planned to go to Shu County.

Zhao Xu said, Mr. means to go to Shouchun, don't waste time on the way.

I said coolly: "My husband will never object to what I'm going to do this time. If you don't believe me, you can ask him."

Zhao Xu frowned and said nothing.

In 26 days, it will be Zhou Yu's second anniversary. I wonder how he is doing in Shu County?I stood in a daze under a small hill above the wilderness, looking up at the inconspicuous mound.

How can you imagine that under the loess, there is such a handsome man buried under the loess, waving a priceless folding fan, with piercing eyes, and frivolously saying: "I am polite here."

I knelt softly in front of the tombstone.The simple tomb was obviously cleaned frequently, and it was clean without any weeds. A few pieces of paper banners were stuck to the wet loess, trembling in the wind.

I opened the food box I brought, slowly sifted wine for him, and whispered: "I haven't seen you for a long time, two years? Time flies so fast."

The long hair was scattered by the wind, I impatiently stretched out my hand to straighten it, pinned the hair behind my ear, and brought out a few small dishes: "I heard that you like to eat crabs here, but it is spring now, and the crabs in the river Smaller than dumplings. I cooked fried eggs and braised fish myself, do you have an appetite? Otherwise, I will eat it by myself later."

I stared at the stone tombstone, on which there were only a few rough inscriptions: The Tomb of Duke Zhou.Raising my hand to touch the shallow scratches, I couldn't help but say: "Such simplicity is really not your style. I remember that you like to squander the most, and you call it cultivating temperament. The hard times these few years have made things hard for you." gone."

He still refused to answer.

"You are so arrogant today." I shook my head and sat next to him: "I broke up with your lord, he knew that I saw his face, he was very embarrassed. He really came to dig your grave, In the future, I will no longer call him the General Against Rebellion, I will call him General Tomb Raider.

"He's getting better at dealing with people, well, you ask how he treats me? Hey, it's not like that. I can't get along with Simu, so, break up. Let's not talk about him, let's talk about you Right. Did Mr. come to see you? Hehe, if you don’t want to answer, it’s acquiescing. He’s in Jingzhou, and he’ll come to see you for whatever reason... The last time I saw him, didn’t you also see him? Arrived? Right, he also wrote you an extremely nasty sacrificial oration."...

I was talking about unimportant things, and before I knew it, two or three hours had passed since my visit, the sun began to dip, and I packed up my things and prepared to leave.

Someone seemed to be coming from a distance, I stood up and looked at that person.This person is not Zhao Xu, Zhao Xu was obviously waiting for me in the woods in the north, but this person came from the west.I hesitated whether I should hide or not, and with a feeling in my heart, I finally made up my mind to stand still.

"Who's there?" The boy's immature voice was full of surprise, and I had already recognized who it was.

☆、Chapter 91 go round and round

"A Xun."

"Sister Lan?"

Zhou Xun put down the burden on his shoulders and raised his eyebrows: "Sister Lan! When did you come quietly? Did you come alone?"

I smiled and took Zhou Xun's hand: "I haven't seen you for two years, Ah Xun has grown a lot taller."

The ten-year-old boy's stature is still thin, but he is half a head taller than the two of us, almost reaching my shoulders.

"Sister Lan, why don't you go to my mother and me when you come to pay homage to father, it's not far from here, it's only two miles away."

I stared at his face, which resembled Zhou Yu's, and my eyes darkened: "I'm passing by here to do some business, and I'm leaving soon."

"Is my sister alone, please stay a little longer."

I shook my head and pointed to the forest on the skyline: "I brought the guards and they are waiting for me over there. Xun, you came just in time, I have something to give you."

I took out a jade pendant from the hidden pocket of my cuff and pressed it in Zhou Xun's palm: "Ah Xun, this is something left by your father before he left. I'm giving it to you now. You have to keep it safe, you know? A Xun, This jade pendant is related to the rise and fall of our Zhou family, you must love him like your own eyes. Promise me."

Zhou Xun blushed: "Sister Lan, I'm only ten years old, I can't protect such an important thing."

I held him by the shoulder: "Who said Ah Xun can't do it? Ah Xun is the man of the family, he has to protect his mother and younger brother, and Sister Lan, and Sister Lan also depends on you. Promise me?"

With sweat on the tip of his nose, he nodded slowly and solemnly.

I pulled him to kneel in front of Zhou Yu's tomb, kowtowed heavily, and then poured a cup of wine on the ground: "Uncle, I promised to take good care of Ah Xun and Ah Yin, and I will definitely do it. Zhou Xun, after your father In front of you, you have to swear that you will not tell anyone about the whereabouts of the jade pendant except me and your mother."

"No, Ah Xun swears."

At a young age, he was dazzled by my solemnity, his eyes were full of doubts.I sighed and rubbed his little face, wondering if Sun Li will look like this when he grows up?

"Is Ah Xun coming to see his father today?"

"No, my mother told me to come every ten days. A lot of grass grows in spring, and I have to keep pulling it." He made a movement of pulling weeds, and I was amused, and I touched his arm in the sackcloth : "Ah Xun should work hard, I will come to see you later."

"Well, I really like the bow and arrow that Sister Lan gave me in the New Year. My brother is clamoring for it too, but he still can't draw it." Zhou Xun smiled with a missing front tooth.

I barely suppressed the wild laughter that was about to blurt out, and waved to him: "Go back quickly after cleaning, Tianyan."

He nodded solemnly, clutching the jade pendant to his chest.The setting sun stretched his shadow very long.

Qilin jade is a symbol of being in the right position. The owner who loses the Qilin jade is like a king who loses his seal. After I handed over the real Qilin jade pendant to Zhou Xun for safekeeping, Zhao Xu is no longer my "seconded" subordinate. A man who was ordered to bring me back to Mr.

The morning market in Jingzhou City had just started, and the distant bells rang through every corner of the city.I wore a bamboo hat and wore a veil, and he led me to the slums in the west of the city.

As more and more flirtatious women appeared nearby, my face slowly turned red, and finally turned into anger: "Are you playing tricks, how could he meet me in such a ghostly place?"

"You'll know when you arrive." Zhao Xu said expressionlessly, "This is what I do, and makeup can cover up the smell of conspiracy."

"All right, all right, Lord Baelish, I'm taught." I curtseyed to him.

Zhao Xu kept on stepping, raising one eyebrow: "Who is Baelish?"

I just laughed.

When they arrived at a small courtyard, Zhao Xu knocked on the door a few times, and someone ran over to open the door. Seeing Zhao Xu, the boy who opened the door smiled, "Master, Ah Shuo is here to help you today. Open the door, Mr. is waiting for you."

The little boy in Tsing Yi walked in front of him extremely swiftly, not so much leading the way as he was playing Lingbo Weibo.Panting a bit, I followed Ying He's pace with that child, and asked casually, "Master Zhao knows that child."

"A Shuo was the one I watched growing up."

When I got to the back hall, I took off my embroidered shoes and placed them on the porch. Zhao Xu held the bamboo hat for me and said softly, "Go in, sir is inside."

I nodded back, and stepped on the wooden floor with bare feet.

The room is not big, the windows are open, and the bright light hits the person in the soap-colored gauze, with a strange halo.

"Hello sir." I kowtowed to the ground.

The gentleman raised his hand: "Come here."

I stood up and took a few steps closer, obediently sat down in front of him, and took a sneak peek, ah, Mr. is so haggard.

"It's been hard work from afar." He said lightly.

I lowered my head in fear, "Guanglan dare not say hard work."

"You." The corners of his lips raised slightly, "It's tight to mess around."

"No, Guanglan is confused."

The husband squinted at me: "Really? It's hard for you to admit your mistakes. Anyway, fortunately, you are not confused about major matters."

I Na Na: "It's a long journey, I'm afraid something will happen. The Qilin Jade is temporarily placed with his eldest son."

"Is it his eldest son? That's fine." He frowned thinking about something, and asked Er Qing, "Is your child okay?"

I sighed: "When I was in Wenzhou, I met a magician who told me that as long as the child follows his father, everything will be fine. Sir, I never knew that the child born would be so troubled."

"If I knew first, I would have reminded you to pay more attention. It's just that he and I didn't have any children at that time... Is Guanglan really willing to give up that child?"

I looked wistfully at the flowers and plants planted outside the house: "I can't bear it, but I can't help it. What you said is right, my stay in Jiangdong is useless, it's just a waste of time."

I also thought of the crazy old Taoist priest: "Guanglan, may I ask, that old Taoist priest was arranged by Mr."

He said: "Of course not, what does this person look like?"

I then described what the old Taoist did to Mr. Wang in detail.Unexpectedly, Mr. Wang rarely showed a bit of joy in ten thousand years: "That is the senior brother of the master of the White Horse Temple. It is rare to see each other. Your child is very lucky."

I was secretly surprised, the person that even my husband yearned to meet, he was a master of the world.In the end, I had no choice but to smile bitterly: "Then what he said is the truth, where did Ah Lu get his luck? He is so young..."

"You're worrying too much."

I smiled wryly: "Master Wu named the child Sun Li, doesn't that explain my worries?"

"Since you have left him, don't do any more useless work."

"Guanglan is teaching."

The gentleman's tone became serious: "Since that's the case, you might as well do something else."

"Your honor. Please give orders, sir."

"Go to Yecheng this time, and bring me something back."

I was taken aback for a moment, sir, wouldn't you want me to be a killer to take people's lives?In a blink of an eye, Mr. had already fetched a pen and paper, and swiped a pen on the floor in front of him, writing the words "Chuan Guo Yuxi" in one stroke.

I lowered my voice and still couldn't restrain my surprise: "Is this thing still there?"

The jade of Bianhe, the jade of Heshi, and the seal of the Han family were lost in the imperial palace where Yuan Shu usurped the title of emperor, and thus disappeared in the long river of history.

Thinking about it again, I am also relieved.It was Cao Cao's army that defeated Yuan Shu. It is not surprising that Yuxi was plundered to Yecheng.But this kind of plot seems too clichéd. There should be a master of martial arts who possesses peerless martial arts and fled to the end of the world with the jade seal.

The gentleman interrupted my unrestrained imagination, and said in a deep voice: "It took me two years to find out the whereabouts of the things. You go to Yecheng and find out the definite information for me. If you can't get the things, just destroy them. "

I thought there was something wrong with my hearing, so I dug my ears and felt dull.That is the Jade Seal handed down by the Han family!How can it be destroyed!

My husband seemed to understand my thoughts: "That thing is enshrined in the destiny, and no one should get it. It will take 400 years before there will be an emperor who can control it."

"It's been too long." I said softly.

"Yes, it's been too long, and the future generations are beyond our control. Let's talk about this today, Guanglan, go and rest."

I leaned over and kowtowed, and my husband was reaching out to throw the note with the words "Chuan Guo Yuxi" into the brazier.Tongues of fire flashed past, but his face was still dignified.

I rested in Jingzhou City for five days, mainly to sort out what happened a few days ago with my husband.

"What's the attitude of the old lady in the south?"

On this day, my husband came to me again to discuss some matters.I snorted: "When she treats me like a brainless woman, she is very powerful when dealing with those civil and military officials. There are many ways to win over, threaten, and influence. After all, she is helping her own son .”

The gentleman nodded slowly, and ticked a stroke on the paper: "Then, this part is fine."

There was someone standing in the corridor with his hands down, and the gentleman caught him out of the corner of his eye and said, "Come in."

The man crossed his shoulders and said something in the gentleman's ear. The gentleman's face remained unchanged, his eyes swept over me, and the corner of his mouth moved slightly: "It's nothing, I'll deal with it when I go back."

"Military division..." The man wanted to say something, but the gentleman raised his hand: "You go."

"Subordinates retire."

On the contrary, I got to know my husband a little better after a few days, so I naughty said: "Mr. is really the master of the word."

The corner of his mouth curled up: "What's Guanglan's plan? It's rare that our princess's wife has settled down a bit. Don't lead her into trouble again."

I was immediately discouraged: "Sir, you have seen thousands of miles, I haven't said a word yet, you already know my intentions."

With a cold and refreshing smile in his eyes, he packed up the scattered documents and paused when he stood up: "Forget it, Master Wu knows that you have come to Jingzhou, and it would be unreasonable not to visit her. Just remember one thing: don't Information that should not have been leaked was leaked."

"Remember, Guanglan." I bowed my head and sent him out respectfully. Guessing that my husband had already walked out of the gate, I snapped my fingers and shouted enthusiastically, "Zhao Xu, come out."

Zhao Xu, who was wearing a loose home fur coat, appeared out of nowhere, with a big yawn in his mouth.

I flicked my sleeves and said bluntly, "Although I don't have the status of the lord for the time being, Mr. Zhong has pointed out that you are the one who serves me. Are you being rude to me?"

He stared at me coldly, sat down in the seat where the gentleman sat just now, picked up an upside-down teacup and sifted tea for himself: "Obviously you begged the gentleman to assign me to you."

I chuckled: "The process is a little different, but the effect is the same."

"You are mean."

"Young Master Zhao is absurd." I bowed my knees to him solemnly, and after a few seconds, I put on a straight face: "Zhao Xu, I'll give you a cup of tea to prepare. Prepare the horse for me. I want to go out."

"Where is the lord going?" He had a good professional self-cultivation, and he stood up quickly and was ready to go.I smiled at him: "Go visit my sister-in-law."

In other words, my ex-sister-in-law, none of these matters, at least we met once, and seeing her this time is my last thank you.

Note 1: Baelish refers to Petyr Baelish, the conspirator who opened a brothel in the novel "A Song of Ice and Fire".

☆、Chapter 92 Jingzhou, Jingzhou

I was depressed along the way, which made Zhao Xu, who is used to my noisy, very uncomfortable. Before he could ask, I waved my five fingers boldly and said to him: "I'm fine."

He only called me Miss when he was outside, and after hearing what I said, he said arrogantly: "I didn't ask you this, the villain wanted to say, how does Miss plan to get into the mansion of Princess Jiangdong?"

I looked up at Sun Shangxiang's residence, a little dumbfounded.

In the majestic deep house compound, the barracks-style fence is half as high as a person, and the guards with halberds are patrolling the door alternately, and even the tall-chested female soldiers are full of murderous looks.

"This one is so ostentatious." I made a bitter face.

Zhao Xu whispered: "Miss, don't you know how Jiangdong Princess's subordinates are rampant in Jingzhou City? If there is no such ostentation, who would be afraid of her."

Of course I know, as early as in Jianye, I heard about the names of those people Shangxiang brought from Jiangdong. In detail, there is a reason why Liu Huangshu didn't want to see Shangxiang.No normal man would like a woman who wields knives and swords all day long as his wife. This is simply a challenge to the authority of the family.

"Go." I ordered Zhao Xu to say, "Listen to me, that female sister has a hot body, and girls with a hot body like handsome men. Go, it will definitely work."

Zhao Xu couldn't resist me, he walked slowly towards the gate of the mansion, as if he wanted to send himself into the bloody maw of some monster.

I closed my eyes and turned my head, not daring to look directly at the tragedy that was about to happen in a while.

"Your Excellency, please report that my master is here to pay a visit to the wife of the princess." This is Zhao Xu's opening remarks.

Another delicate voice asked, "Who is your master?"

"This... let me inform you first, and I will know when Madam sees you." Zhao Xu's polite words were interrupted by a crisp "pop", I secretly opened my eyes, Zhao Xu turned his head to one side, His complexion is not very good.

I burst out laughing, walked over and said politely, "Just tell Xiangxiang that someone from Jiangdong is here, and I'll come and see her Hun horse."

The female soldier looked at me suspiciously. Hearing that I was from Jiangdong, she dared not neglect her. She crossed her hands and bowed: "Please wait a moment, both of you."

After an incense stick of time, I heard the sound of chaotic footsteps inside. The disheveled Sun Shangxiang rushed to the door wearing only a pair of shoes. She didn't dislike my gray appearance, so she took my hand happily: "Alan is the most There is a solution! If you really come to see me, come in quickly."

I winked at Zhao Xu, and he followed me decisively.

Sun Shangxiang couldn't hide her joy: "Alan, you didn't ask anyone to tell me before you came. If I knew, I would call a boat to pick you up. How about the journey?"

I nodded, guessing what she liked, and made up some nonsense: "I came with the team on this mission to Jingzhou, and I have someone to take care of me on the way. Your brother and your mother asked me to say hello to you."

"Mother, is she in good health? Blame me for being emotional at the time, so I ran away with Xuande privately like this, I'm afraid it will hurt my mother." She looked a little gloomy.

I laughed and said, "Where is it? The princess knows that Guotai loves you the most. If she is married and her husband, if she doesn't understand you, how can she allow me to visit you?"

"The truth is this..." Shang Xiang led me to drink tea in the middle hall, and talked about her life after we parted. Although she looked happy, she couldn't hide her loneliness in her words.

I took her hand and said sadly: "Don't wrong yourself too much, you just have to be patient for a while, when Uncle Liu Huang takes Xichuan and becomes the master of Shuzhong, you will go to Shu with him and live your life together." happy days."

She stared blankly at me, almost lost in the beautiful blueprint I drew for her, at the end, she pursed her lips and smiled: "Will you, will you live such a life?"

I patted the back of her hand: "If you believe it, you will."

She smiled again: "You have come from a long way, how can I just ask you to have some weak tea? In the evening, I will host a banquet to treat you well. Are you staying at the posthouse? Bring all your luggage to me, and I will have a good time with you." say something."

I summoned Zhao Xu, who was standing by, to come in: "Go and tell the manager that I will be staying with my wife today, and I want him to pack up all my things and bring them here."

Zhao Xu gave me a deep look, bowed and retreated.

Shang Xiang looked at Zhao Xu's back suspiciously, and asked me, "Alan, where have all your maids gone? Why did you get a strange guard to follow you?"

I smiled perfunctorily: "Recently, there is a war again, and there is a lot of chaos outside. That guard is good at martial arts, and your brother ordered him not to leave my side."

Shang Xiang laughed loudly: "Brother has a heart. But this time, Alan, please relax. My house is impregnated with iron walls, and no one can break in."

Sun Shangxiang is the only girl among the five brothers of the Sun family. She was spoiled and spoiled since she was a child, and she has never suffered any hardships. Her food and clothing are top-notch. I am afraid that the princesses in Yecheng are not as grand as her!Although she respected my opinion and didn't make the "cleaning dust feast" known to everyone, it was also very rich. You can get a glimpse of it just by looking at the crispy and browned fat lamb.

Before the banquet started, Shang Xiang pulled me to the corner and whispered, "I didn't invite anyone else, but General Zhao Yun, the Sima who stayed in the camp, was the chief. You don't mind."

Of course I don't mind.The so-called Sima staying in the camp is probably an official position that takes care of Sun Shangxiang so that he does not cause major troubles. It is common sense for Shangxiang to be jealous of him.

Because he was going to a banquet, Zhao Yun wore ordinary clothes this time.He really looks brilliant in white, and my eyes are glued to the pattern on his cuffs.Fortunately, there were several low-ranking officials and their wives accompanying them during the banquet, and Sun Shangxiang was distracted by those people.If Shangxiang knows that I value sex and despise friends, it's no wonder that my nose is twisted in anger!She also said that my status was embarrassing, she didn't say who I was, she only vaguely said that I was her friend from Jiangdong, which was exactly what I wanted.

Zhao Yun had no mood swings when he saw me.I looked into his eyes presumptuously, really curious what this man thought of me.

He was gentle and polite, except for the necessary greetings with Sun Shangxiang, he didn't even say a word.But even the way he lowers his head to grab some food is damn sexy to me.Such a man, after much deliberation, seems to be only described by the word "handsome".

"What a man." After the banquet, I sighed for a long time, and Sun Shangxiang asked me who I was praising.

I said angrily, "Of course it's not your husband."

She was drunk but not really confused, and forced me to ask: "I saw you sizing up General Zhao today, and I realized something was wrong. Tell me, Alan, did you quarrel with your brother?"

I looked at her strangely, if she knew that I had dumped his brother, would she be angry with me?Well, maybe a slap in the face was inevitable.

I shrank my neck and said weakly: "Yeah, so I came out to relax."

Xu Shi couldn't control his emotions after drinking. Sun Shangxiang sat on the porch, tears dripping down: "Brother is like this, he is the master of Jiangdong, and he has to take care of everything. As for our women, he never cares about it." .”

I knew he was heartbroken by his brother's ruthlessness back then, so I sighed and helped her go back to her room to rest.She stayed outside the door, refusing to move, squatting at the door, throwing up for more than half an hour, crying and making a fuss, and going to sleep until one o'clock at night.After all these years, her temperament has not changed at all. I really don't know if it is a good thing or a bad thing.

I sat in the yard with my chin resting on my back, and my other hand was not idle, crackling and slapping the mosquitoes.

Zhao Xu appeared behind me like a ghost: "It's late at night, Miss, go and rest."

I had a belch, almost got smoked by myself, and squinted at him: "You are my bodyguard, not my nanny, mind your own business and get out!"

"Miss, don't be sad, go to bed early." He pretended not to hear me.

I stood up and slapped him with my hand, feeling secretly refreshed.

He slowly turned his head to look at me, then grabbed my arm and said, "You're drunk."

I was really drunk, otherwise I wouldn't be surprised to see him when I woke up the next morning and shouted: "Wow, Zhao Xu, you were beaten by Sister Bing again, what a tragedy."

Zhao Xu was silent.

From this day on, Sun Shangxiang dutifully acted as my tour guide and accompanied me around Jingzhou City.I didn't want to show my face, but the places she encouraged me to go to were all places I'd longed for for a long time.

The next day, Shang Xiang took Uncle Liu Huang's only son, Liu Chan, to travel with me.When the child came from the government office, there was a whole team of guards following him, including Zhao Yun.

A group of people waited to climb the ancient city wall, and I supported the parapet, thinking of Liu Cong (Note 1), who surrendered without a fight two years ago. Isn’t he now dreaming of a high official and rich salary in Xudu City?After all, Prime Minister Cao pulled the Qingzhou Inspector, whom His Majesty the Emperor bestowed on Liu Cong, to be a salted fish that could not be touched on the beams, and it was barely enough to serve with porridge.His majestic clan members of the Han family are now going to rely on the breath of the eunuch (Note 2). It has to be said that the Han family is dying.

In troubled times, there will always be people who want to be fools who turn against each other, just as there are people who want to be heroes who stand out from the crowd.After thinking about this verse, I couldn't help showing a helpless smile, and walked slowly along the city wall.

Take a rest at Zhongxuan Building at noon.While waiting for the attendant to serve tea, I looked at the Qinghong sword on the waist of General Zhao next to me, fascinated.Inadvertently, I felt that Sun Shangxiang's face was a little embarrassed when he hugged Liu Chan, because the five or six-year-old child didn't like to be imprisoned, so he struggled to grab Sun Shangxiang's high bun with his round arms.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that these two don't get along very well. Also, Shang Xiang is still a big child, and suddenly becomes someone else's stepmother, and she must have some pimples in her mind.As for this Liu Chan, I narrowed my eyes and looked at him carefully, facing a very ordinary little boy, with neither big nor small eyes, neither high nor low bridge of nose. .

I stretched out my arms to hug him, but he stared blankly at me and whispered, "I don't want you to hug me."

I boasted that I had never been defeated in front of my children, and I smiled strangely when I heard this: "Do you want to go fishing in the moat, my lord?"

The moat of Jingzhou is notoriously silted up, so whether you can fish or not is another matter.Sun Shangxiang asked me with puzzled eyes, but Liu Chan had already clapped his hands happily, and then bowed to me: "
