two-phase negative

Jiangdong.

Under the same moonlight, Zhou Yu sat in his courtyard enjoying the silence of the night.

"It's almost over." Zhou Xuan came out and sat next to Zhou Yu at some point.

"Yeah." Still looking at the sky, "There is news from over there that Yuan Shao will be defeated in three days."

"Two years have passed in a blink of an eye, Gong Jin, our agreement with Xiao Qiao is almost here."

"Well, so bro, what's your choice."

"Me?" Zhou Xuan also looked up at the night sky, as if trying to find the answer, "After they come back, the wedding should be held. I think, as soon as their wedding is over, I will return to Lujiang. Two years , it’s not that I didn’t see Sun Quan’s efforts, but that I’m really tired. The family has depended on An Ning for the past two years, and I want to treat her well in the future.”

"Oh?" Zhou Xuan's words successfully turned Zhou Yu's gaze from the night sky to himself, "So, did you let go?"

"So what if we can't let it go?" Zhou Xuan said helplessly, "Gong Jin, what has happened cannot be changed. All we can do is to make the result less bad."

"I think I will remember for the rest of my life, the night two years ago, when Xiaoqian, who was far away in Jiangdong, rushed to Lujiang overnight, and everything that night." Looking at the sky again, my thoughts were brought back to the distant place. then.

On that night two years ago, when he and Zhou Xuan heard the sound of the horse singing and went out to check, the first thing that caught their eyes was the figure who got off the horse, and Zhou Yu recognized the person with just one glance.

"Little Qiao? Shouldn't you be in Jiangdong?" Zhou Xuan was the first to question.

"Brother Zizhen, I came all the way so fast that I never stopped. Is that how you intend to treat me, a guest from afar?" Xiao Qiao teased.After being told by Xiao Qiao, the two finally remembered that they were still outside, so they brought Xiao Qiao into the house.

"Xiao Qiao, can we talk now?" Zhou Xuan asked after sitting down.

"I want to know, why?" After drinking the water in the glass, Xiao Qiao expressed his intention.

Although there were only three words and the question seemed unclear, the two brothers of the Zhou family guessed the meaning of the visit the moment they saw Xiao Qiao, and it was confirmed at this moment.

"The whole people is rich, and there is no orphan in the world." Looking at the two brothers who were silent, Xiao Qiao ignored them and continued, "I think you must still remember this sentence, this is from the few of us and Brother Bofu." Promise. But, can this agreement be voided just because Brother Bofu is gone? Is everything we have done for so many years for Jiangdong, for the agreement we made together, or just for Brother Bofu alone? If so Because I have prejudice and disagreement with Zhongmou, then I just want to ask you, how do you know that Sun Quan can’t do it? Brother Bofu is the little sun in Jiangdong, and it is precisely because of this that his light is too dazzling , so dazzling that we can't see other people except him. That seat can't be secured by popular support alone, not to mention that Sun Bofu doesn't care about that seat at all. Since he doesn't care, why is Sun Quan Can't sit down?"

"Tell me what you want." Zhou Yu interrupted Xiao Qiao.

"Two years," Xiao Qiao said while gesturing out a number, "Assist Zhongmou for two years, and after two years, you can leave or stay, as you like."

"Tomorrow morning," Zhou Xuan also said, "I'll give you my answer tomorrow morning, it's too late now, you just rest here for a day and then go back, I'll help you arrange the guest room." The two of Xiao Qiao went upstairs alone.

"He probably agreed," Zhou Yu said calmly, looking at his back upstairs, "I want to see if Sun Quan can do it, so you don't have to worry."

"Yeah." Xiao Qiao nodded slightly, "You don't have to be too sad about Uncle Zhou..."

"I know," the long-term tacit understanding is still there, so Zhou Yu knows what Xiao Qiao wants to say, "I'm still waiting to see how Sun Quan can bring peace to the world, and it will be fine."

"That's fine."

"I want to know why."

"Zhongmou is more suitable for that position than Brother Bofu, and I always think so."

"On the day of the archery competition, when I saw him kneeling in front of you with an archery target, I had the illusion that you were supposed to be a couple."

"It will be in the future, but the most important position in my heart has already been occupied by one person. Even if the person after that really walks in, it will not be as important as that person." Xiao Qiao said in a daze, "Me and Zhong Mou is trying to forget the person in his heart, two years is enough for us to walk into each other's hearts. We all have to be good."

"I promise you."

"By the way." Seemingly remembering something, Xiao Qiao looked at Zhou Yu, "There is a person who asked me to bring you a word."

"Say."

"Trust the king and the country, and never lose forever."

One sentence, eight words, shocked Zhou Yu deeply, enduring the tears that were about to burst into his eyes and looked at Xiao Qiao, who nodded at him, "Sun Ce is dead, and only Sun Su is in the world."

"Trust the king and the country, and you will never fail." He repeated that sentence in a low voice, as if something quietly revived in his heart, "Yu, I will definitely live up to what I entrusted."

On the third day, Zhou Xuan explained the family affairs, and returned to Jiangdong with Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao.

Soon after they returned to Jiangdong, Sun Quan decided to personally lead the troops to march into Luoyang with Cao Cao.But to their surprise, Xiao Qiao also went together, and Jiang Dong was entrusted to the two of them.During the two years that Sun Quan led the army, there were news coming back from the front, and Zhou Yu was very familiar with the handwriting on the paper. The words he said were objective and fair, allowing the two brothers to see Sun Quan's true strength.

"Back then Boyan chose to stay like us, probably because you were wasting your time." Waking up from the memory, Zhou Xuan asked.

"I will help her with whatever she wants to do," Zhou Yu replied lightly, "and I trust her vision."

"Well, those who can fall in love with my Zhou family's son will naturally have the same vision."

"Can you report Qiao Xuan's matter together?" Zhou Yu ignored Zhou Xuan's words.

"Bo Yan said he really couldn't stand it anymore, so he reported it." Glancing at Zhou Yu, he seemed to know what he was worried about and added, "Don't worry, I read it before reporting it, and the words are appropriate, every sentence It's true. Although it's not that I haven't guessed it before, I didn't expect that Qiao Xuan really had such a heart. It must be because of his two daughters. If it wasn't because of Er Qiao, I'm afraid it wouldn't be the case."

"People's hearts are unpredictable," Zhou Yu said flatly, "Er Qiao played a role, but it's definitely not a decisive factor, at most it's just a catalyst. If a person doesn't care about one thing, then no matter how others add fuel to it, it's useless. But if he had had that idea earlier, many things could be an excuse for him to put that idea into action."

"So, you already knew that Qiao Xuan had such a heart?" Turning to look at Zhou Yu.

"I don't know." After saying that, he got up and went back to the house.

"I don't know? Don't you know what's going on in your own head?" Asked Zhou Xuan, who was leaving, but all he got was Zhou Yu's back.

Luoyang, Soochow military camp.

Looking at the report just delivered today, Sun Quan clenched his hands unconsciously. This Qiao Xuan really became more and more lawless.

Since Sun Quan and Xiao Qiao left Jiangdong two years ago, Qiao Xuan began to win over various forces in various ways, doing things as he pleased, without paying any attention to the Zhou brothers and Lu Xun who stayed in Jiangdong.At first he thought it was the Sun family who caused him to lose a daughter, so he let him go.But who would have expected that Qiao Xuan not only didn't know how to stop, but went too far every time.In the letter sent this time, Qiao Xuan blatantly moved into Sun's house, and even ordered that before Sun Quan and Xiao Qiao's class teacher returned triumphantly, all matters, big or small, should be reported to him without sending a letter to Luoyang for Sun Quan's review, and Zhou Xuan was released. Xuan, Zhou Yu and Lu Xun's fake.Qiao Xuan blatantly put the dark guard team that was hiding in the dark on the stage before, replacing the Overlord's troop and taking full responsibility for Jiangdong's safety.No matter how you look at this move, it looks like Qiao Xuan wants to establish himself as a king.

Inadvertently writing the time on Siman, Sun Quan raised his luck, and the paper in his hand disappeared without a trace in an instant.Not long after, the person who had been by his side walked in.

"What do you say about the letter that Boyan sent this time?" Xiao Qiao saw the messenger today, but she didn't follow her when she was going to train.Now that the training is over, I started asking.

"Everything is safe and sound." Sun Quan said without changing his face, "In the blink of an eye, two years have passed. The agreement between you and Zhou Xuan is almost here. To be honest, I am really a little scared."

"What are you afraid of?" Xiao Qiao came to the table and sat down, "No matter how bad it is, I will accompany you. And you are not them, how can you know what they think. Trust me, Zhong Mou. I don't know what Brother Xing thinks, but I know from Gongjin that he will definitely stay."

"I believe in you, Xi Yan." Sun Quan said firmly, "But I don't understand why the one who will definitely stay is Gongjin. I thought he was the one who couldn't stay, after all, he is so respected brother."

"I remember Han Xin once said, 'Success is Xiao He, and failure is Xiao He'. This is the reason why Gong Jin will definitely stay. I entrust the king and the community, and I will never fail. One sentence, eight words, are as important to him as Mount Tai. What's more, although others are in Jiangdong and you are in Luoyang in the past two years, I believe he has not seen the results of the past two years. It is true that he is loyal to Brother Bofu, but he is also loyal to the steelyard in his heart. "

"Well, just one Zhou Yu is fine, so you don't have to be too tired." Seemingly thinking of something, Sun Quan asked instead, "Xiyan, if, I mean if, if one day I die in order to protect Soochow. What would you do if you killed your family?"

"I don't know." Although Xiao Qiao was shocked by that if, she still gave the answer because she knew that if it was likely to come true, "I can't give you a definite answer for things that haven't happened. However, Zhongmou, I am sure of one thing, I will still be by your side, and you have your reasons for doing that, and I believe you too."

"Thank you, Xi Yan." Then she put her hand on Xiao Qiao's.At the same time, he also made a decision in his heart. Although this decision made Sun Quan lose Xiao Qiao in the future, he still did not regret it.

On the night when Sun Quan made that decision, Zhou Xuan, Zhou Yu, and Lu Xun who were far away in Jiangdong received a Siman text message almost at the same time, and the content of that text message was destined to change the world in Jiangdong.

In Luoyang Palace.

"Prime Minister Yuan, before the rebels take any action, you should leave with a small group of people." Looking out of the window, Tian Feng anxiously said to Yuan Shao who was sitting behind the desk.

"No," Yuan Shao resolutely refused, "I won't be a deserter."

"If you stay in the green hills, you won't have to worry about no firewood," Tian Feng continued to persuade, "Prime Minister, you have to be a deserter first, then you will have a chance to make a comeback in the future."

"This..." It's not that Yuan Shao doesn't understand what Tian Feng said, but the pride in his bones doesn't allow him to be a deserter, "Even if I can escape safely, how sure is it that I can beat Cao Cao and Sun Quan's cooperation."

"Prime Minister, you still have a younger sister in Jiangdong." Feng Ji timely reminded, "She is now Zhou Yu's wife."

"Okay, I agree with your proposal." Seemingly not at all worried that Yuan Qing would reject him, Yuan Shao immediately agreed to Tian Feng's request when he thought of the sister he always hated, "Feng Ji, how many troops do we have?"

"Return to the Prime Minister, except for the 5 wounded soldiers, we still have [-] troops."

"Okay." Hearing what Feng Ji said, Yuan Shao immediately became concerned, "Tian Feng, pass on the order that you will leave the palace overnight with me with the ten thousand wounded soldiers, and Feng Ji will stay behind to defend the city. "

"Yes." Tian Feng replied.When Feng Ji on the side heard this decision, although he was prepared, he still couldn't help feeling a little bit cold.He still remembers the scene at Sun's house two years ago, he was injured and fell to the ground by Xiao Qiao, and Yuan Shao never cared about him until he left.It turned out that this was the person he vowed to follow to the death.

It was night, when Yuan Shao retreated with the [-] wounded soldiers, the Wu-Wei Allied Forces ahead launched their last attack.

Looking at the three leaders under the city gate, Feng Ji knew that he would not be able to defend Luoyang, or in other words, the moment Wu Wei announced the alliance, he knew that Yuan Shao would be defeated.Whether it is Sun Quan or Cao Cao, they are both wise and brave people, and they are dragons among men, which cannot be compared with Yuan Shao, who does not know what is a corporal.Although he knew what his fate was, but he was able to die under the cooperation of these three people, and he did not come to this world in vain.

And that night in Jiangdong, without people knowing, some things were slowly changing.
