Xuchang, in the 11th year of Jian'an, seems to have become more prosperous after many years of establishing the capital. After the remnants of Yuan Shao and the high-ranking officials were resolved, and the state was stabilized, the people of Cao and Wei finally took a breather.
But Guo Jia was not as happy as expected.
Xun Yu learned that he had been seriously ill when he was conquering high-ranking cadres. Before he came back, he emptied the wine cellar in his mansion and strictly ordered the servants to control his drinking.As a result, he hasn't tasted the wine properly for a long time.
What's more, even the letter from the school government's investigation and report gave him a headache.
Under the double pressure, he can only come to the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion to have fun.Although he was drenched in blood by Chen Qunshen, he never messed around in this kind of place, at most he just drank flower wine and met beauties.
Qin Lou's bustard had known him for a long time, and brought him to a place next to the fence on the second floor, so it was more convenient to watch the girls perform.
Before the wine was served, Guo Jia was leaning on the railing, with a slight smile on his lips, although he was looking at the people passing by, he was thinking about something.
Yuan Shao still had some forces left and fled to the Xiongnu. Now the Central Plains has settled down.Cao Cao was still debating whether the next step was the Northern Expedition or the Southern Expedition.He did not express his opinion.He knew that Cao Cao always had to weigh the pros and cons before asking their counselors about such matters.
In his opinion, it is better to conquer the Xiongnu first. The Xiongnu side has not been very stable these years, and Jiangdong has become more and more powerful. It is necessary to get the rear area settled first, and then go south to feel at ease.
But Cao Cao is still struggling.After thinking about it, I will figure it out.only……
Guo Jia seemed to think of something troublesome, and heaved a long sigh.
If Cao Cao knew the contents of the letter submitted by the school affairs office, he might not be able to wait for a moment and would go south.
You must not let the other party know the contents of the letter.Fortunately, he had already burned the letter immediately.
If Cao Cao knew that the child he had cultivated so hard ended up working in Jiangdong and was taken advantage of by a lion like Sun Ce, I don't know what kind of expression Cao Cao would have.
My lord really persisted. After six or seven years, I still didn't believe that Ruan Qing was dead, and I still sent people to look for her every year.Over the years, I had the idea of moving to other spheres of influence to inquire about news.Do you know what?
Thinking of this, Guo Jia smiled helplessly.It's not a good thing to go on like this.
The sound of a wine bottle falling before the case brought Guo Jia back from his thoughts.His eyes fell on the young servant serving wine for him in front of him.
The boy accidentally knocked over the wine bottle, and the surface of the desk was wet. He kept chanting forgiveness, and tidied it up in a panic, looking clumsy.
Guo Jia chuckled lightly, and said kindly, "It's okay, just wipe it clean."
The boy then raised his head.
Guo Jia's pupils tightened unconsciously, and his face, which always had a slight expression no matter what happened in the past, was stunned.
On the boy's fair skin, there was a pair of round deer's eyes with shining water, his eyes were red, and he whispered, "But my aunt will definitely hit me if she finds out."
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the old bustard yelled, "You child, you are clumsy in everything, and this time you offended Mr. Guo. Did I keep you here to make trouble for me?"
When the boy heard that his tears became more intense, he shrank his neck and begged for mercy, "Auntie, I'm sorry, I know I was wrong."
The old bustard wanted to scold, but was interrupted by Guo Jia, who had a teasing look on his face.
The old bustard hurriedly said, "Sir, you are magnanimous, and you are not as knowledgeable as he is. I will choose someone who is quick in hands and feet to serve you."
"No need." With a smile on the corner of Guo Jia's mouth, he raised his eyebrows at the boy, "Is this new?"
"Yes." The old bustard said hastily, "I just bought it from another place a few days ago. I only asked him to come up to help because of the shortage of manpower these few days. I didn't expect to offend Mr. "
"Oh? So, the child is still clean."
The old bustard instantly understood the meaning of Guo Jia's words, and hurriedly said, "Of course it's clean, if sir likes it..."
"Is there anyone else in the child's family?"
The servant probably also understood what Guo Jia meant, and his heart jumped wildly, and he hurriedly said, "It's gone, my hometown was once hit by a plague, my parents and brothers are gone, and I am the only one left."
"Very good." Guo Jia was even more satisfied when he heard that, and the smile on his face became brighter.
……
Zhou Yu met the enemy's attack in Chaisang, successfully captured Deng Long, and sent people to escort him back to Wujun. He also sent a letter to take advantage of the situation to march westward to Jiangxia.
Sun Ce discussed the old people who had summoned his confidants, with mixed offenses and defenses.
After retreating from the crowd, Sun Ce looked up at the territory map hanging on the wall with his hands folded, and someone reported that Sun Fu asked to see him.
Sun Fu is Sun Ce's cousin.His father, Sun Qiang, and Sun Jian were brothers.Sun Ce always has a mentality of hating iron but not steel towards this cousin.
"Brother." After entering the room and seeing Sun Ce, Sun Fu approached him with a smile.
Sun Ce glanced at his younger brother, who was only a few years younger than himself, and said calmly, "Why are you here?"
"It's not mother yet." Hearing what Sun Ce said, Sun Fu was completely bitter, and he couldn't help complaining, "Mother always said that cousins, you are young and promising, but I am a fool, let me talk to you more when I have nothing to do. , learn to learn."
"Hmph." Sun Ce sneered mockingly, and clicked his tongue softly, "How come the word learning is so ironic when you say it out of your mouth."
"People have to grow up, brother, don't look down on people." Sun Fu yelled, then calmed down again, leaned over to please and asked, "Brother, what were you looking at just now, why do you feel that you are so preoccupied?"
"Go, go, play by yourself." Sun Ce impatiently wanted to chase people away, "You don't understand these things."
"Brother, you see that you are like this again." Sun Fu said, "You didn't tell me, how can you conclude that I don't know."
Sun Ce looked at Sun Fu quietly, and Sun Fu couldn't help but touch his face, "Brother, why are you looking at me like that?"
Sun Ce turned his eyes back and said, "It's Gong Jin. He said that the period of national mourning is over now. At this time, Huang Zu's subordinate Deng Long was captured. Jiangdong's generals are in full swing, so they can take advantage of the momentum and enter Jiangdong. I just found him." Several people chatted."
"And then?" Seeing that Sun Ce stopped talking, Sun Fu asked again.
Only then did Sun Ce sigh lightly, and continued, "Half and half enter and defend."
Sun Fu nodded knowingly, "Let me guess, the ones who want to be aggressive must be those old generals who started with their elder brothers. As for the ones who are defending, they must be those counselors from Jiangdong."
Sun Ce snorted lightly, "You guessed pretty well."
"If you think about it with your toes, you know that this posture is not once or twice." Sun Fu said, "Most of those old generals are Huaisi generals. They have worked hard and made great achievements, and they are convinced by brother. Most of the advisers that brother is using now are from Jiangdong. Old officials. The Jiangdong gentry are relatively conservative. They just want to hold their own place and live a stable life. They don't want to go out to fight. Naturally, they don't want my brother to send troops."
"You know it in your heart, so you might as well tell me, how should Gu choose?"
Without even thinking about it, Sun Fu said, "Of course we will send troops."
Receiving Sun Ce's questioning gaze, he said, "Brother wants to send troops. I think how arrogant I was when I rode a horse to settle Jiangdong, but now I am stumbled by a few counselors. My brother is the master of Jiangdong. For big things, I should let my brother decide."
Hearing Sun Fu's words, Sun Ce raised his brows and stared at the map wondering what he was thinking.
Sun Fu looked at it, and worked harder, "Besides, I heard that Ruan Zong was worried about the war in Chaisang, so he couldn't eat or sleep, so he wished he could rush to protect Jiangdong right away.
If the elder brother leads the troops to go, if the elder brother goes out to fight, he will return with a big victory, so that Mr. Ruan can rest assured that seeing his elder brother is so brave, he will be more submissive. "
"Yeah." Sun Ce unconsciously let out a voice of approval, and soon he realized that he suddenly looked at Sun Fu, "How do you know about Moore, just remember that you have no personal relationship with him, right?"
"Ah, this..." Sun Fu paused for a second, and then laughed awkwardly after his brain was running fast, "Haha, of course, my younger brother heard what people said, saying that working for Jiangdong almost sleeps all night."
Seeing Sun Ce staring at Jiang Xia on the map again, Sun Fu secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Seeing that his task was completed, he quietly exited the room. Seeing the servant standing outside the room, he waved and called him to a place. In the corner, put a piece of horseshoe gold into the opponent's hand.
"Sir, this..."
Seeing that the other party wanted to decline, Sun Fu smiled kindly, "You just accept it. It's not easy for you to take care of your cousin. You deserve it. I'm just worried about my cousin. Yes, you must remember to tell me."
The servant listened to this and held the gold tightly, "Young master, don't worry, the young master loves my master so much, no matter what happens, the villain will definitely inform the young master."
Only then did Sun Fu show a satisfied smile, and Shi Shiran left.
Ruan Qing and Sun Ce have never seen each other since that day when they lost face, they lived at ease.In the past few days, he has been sorting out the things about Sima Hui that have happened in recent years, but he still can't figure out a clue, so he has to give up and think about when to go to Jingzhou.
Come to think of it, that kid Zhuge Liang has to grow up too.The last time I saw it, the appearance was amazing, but I don't know how it is now.
After hearing the news of Sun Ce's mobilization from the servants, Ruan Qing couldn't recover for a long time, but Lu Su reacted quickly, and asked a few more questions about who was accompanying him. After learning that there was no Ruan Qing's name in the army Make people back off.
When he looked at Ruan Qing, Ruan Qing still maintained the posture he had just been sitting in a daze.
"What's the matter?" Lu Su joked, "It's just that you don't join the army this time, why are you reacting so badly this time?"
"Brother." Ruan Qing swallowed, looked at Lu Su, her eyes were heavy, without any relief, "Is Marquis Wu... crazy?"
Startled, Lu Su interrupted, "Shen Yan, why did you say that?"
"You know what Qing is talking about. Brother, you obviously think the same as Qing." Ruan Qing's expression suddenly became agitated, "He just solved a group of forces a few days ago, and now the political situation in Jiangdong is turbulent, he doesn't want to think about it." To appease, to take precautions before they happen, but to mobilize troops impatiently. Jiang Xia and Jiang Dong have been fighting each other for more than ten years, and they are not in a hurry at this moment. Is he really crazy?"
Hearing Ruan Qing's words, Lu Su also fell silent. He lowered his eyes and sorted out the messy bamboo slips that Ruan Qing had just thrown away on the case.
Ruan Qing suddenly thought that Sun Ce refused his request to go to Chaisang a few days ago, but this time Sun Ce mobilized troops but refused to take him.Did you hate him?Or deliberately reject him?
Ruan Qing became restless for a moment.
It's not because he was neglected, but because he felt that Sun Ce could be so stingy. Because of the fight a few days ago, he deliberately ignored his intention to go to Chaisang.Knowing that he used to be concerned about the war, hey, if you don't take him with you, you just play, ah, piss him off.
Seeing that Lu Su was still silent, Ruan Qing suddenly called out, "Brother, tell me."
Lu Su paused his hands, slowly raised his eyes, and said calmly, "As a subject, I will inform the lord of various temple calculations before the battle. You should do your best to help.”
"Then knowing that the master's decision is wrong?"
"..." Lu Su looked at Ruan Qing with a complicated expression, "Do you think you can persuade Marquis Wu to return?"
Ruan Qing was startled, and fell silent.
Lu Su comforted, "Perhaps this battle has been won, and the Jiangxia feud that has lasted for more than ten years has been resolved. Seeing such a situation, all ethnic groups in Jiangdong are forced to survive under the threat of deterrence."
"Brother." Ruan Qing frowned slightly, and couldn't help complaining, "You're always like this...too generous."
Otherwise, Zhuge Liang would not be coaxed to lend Jingzhou again and again in the future, and he would bear all Jiangdong's anger.
Lu Su just smiled and said nothing.
Sun Ce set off.Some assistant officials in the mansion accompanied the army, and the mansion was quiet for a while.Without that doggy man Sun Ce, Ruan Qing suddenly felt quite empty for some reason.
The army going out will report back every once in a while.But Sun Ce never sent a private letter to Ruan Qing.It seemed that the two of them never communicated again.
After hearing about the military situation from Zhang Zhaona, Ruan Qing and Lu Su walked slowly back to the small courtyard together.
It's winter, and everything is bleak.
Ruan Qing is very familiar with this road. From the time when she first came here, she was trembling every time she went there, and when she returned, she was full of grievances, and now she can calmly listen to any thunderous scolding. go down.The taste can only be experienced by yourself.
Ruan Qing counted the time in her mind, and suddenly realized that she had passed her thirties.If it weren't for Yuan Ling's protection, he might have to grow a beard gradually.
If he had stayed in Xuchang at the beginning, his title might have to be promoted again.Or maybe marrying a wife and concubines, in that kind of political vortex, even love is an accessory used to consolidate power.
"This world has been in chaos for decades, when will the mountains and rivers be unified." Ruan Qing sighed suddenly.
Lu Su said lightly, "The time is unknown, but there will always be that day."
Ruan Qing breathed out a short smile and counted them one by one, "Lu Bu, Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, these once great people are gradually passing away, how many of the Eighteenth Route princes are left?
A few days ago, Qing looked through the history books again, and suddenly found that a few lines of history were full of heroes killing heroes, and heroes cherishing heroes. "
"What's wrong with you today?"
"Ah? It's probably time is coming, so I'm a little entangled." Ruan Qing bent her deer eyes again, harmless to humans and animals, "Brother, if one day your mentor confronts Marquis Wu, which side will you choose to stand on?" ?”
"That won't happen." Lu Su said, "Su's mentor has passed away."
"Sorry." Ruan Qing said, "I didn't mean to."
"Su knows." Lu Su said, "My mentor raised me up, and my lord entrusts me with great value. If there is such a day, it will be difficult for Su to make a choice."
Ruan Qing was somewhat disappointed when she didn't hear the answer she wanted, and Lu Su asked again, "You once said that your hometown is in Yingchuan. Could it be that your mentor is now under Cao Cao's command?"
"Brother Zijing is really smart." Ruan Qing said, "One guess is sure."
"I heard that Cao Cao has wiped out Yuan Shaoyu's party. When the north is unified, he will eventually invade Jiangdong."
"That's right." Ruan Qing said, "Whether it's Cao... Sikong or Marquis Wu, they all want to unify the world in their own hands. In the ages, there can only be one king in a dynasty."
"Muer." Lu Su considered for a moment before saying cautiously, "You should have met Cao Cao. Or, you know Cao Cao."
"Why do you say that, brother?"
"You never call Cao Cao by his name directly. Even in private discussions, you always pass by vaguely. Su sometimes wonders how close Moore is to Cao Cao so that he doesn't call him by his name casually." Woolen cloth?"
"Brother." Ruan Qing smiled, stood outside the courtyard and said, "We're here."
"Yes." Lu Su also smiled gently, "I didn't expect you and I to go so fast."
"There is always an end to a road." Ruan Qing said with a little deep meaning, "But now Qing is always holding Wuhou's salary, and has never endangered Jiangdong."
"Let's end today's talk." Lu Su said under Ruan Qing's surprised gaze, "Everyone has some secrets. Su has seen what Moore did for Jiang Dong these years. You have lived up to Jiang Dong. "
Ruan Qing's staring eyes slightly eased, "Thank you."
The winter in Jiangdong is always milder than that in the north.At this time, there should be several snowfalls in the north.Jiang Dong has yet to let people wrap themselves in thick cotton clothes and huddle in the charcoal-burning room every day.
Although the stars in the winter night sky in Wu County are not as numerous as those in summer, they seem to be comparable to those in the north.
Ruan Qing was standing in the yard, looking up at the stars, and at her feet was Ku Rong, who had already grown thick and long hair. The breeze in the backyard seemed to have fallen asleep, very quiet.
In the past two years, Qingfeng has aged rapidly, and his appetite has decreased and decreased these days.The old man who has worked at home for many years said that Qingfeng probably won't survive this winter.
Qingfeng was given to him by Nanhua when he was ten years old, when Qingfeng was still a pony.In the blink of an eye, Qingfeng has been with him for 21 years.
The rapid knock on the door made Ku Rong at his feet prick up his ears.Noisy barking sounded in the quiet night.
Ruan Qing came to the door, put her hand on the latch and asked, "Who is that?"
"Sir." The voices of the people outside the door were filled with anxiety, "Mr. Zhang has sent an urgent message. Please go to Marquis Wu's mansion."
Ruan Qing was taken aback for a moment, obviously not knowing what happened, "Okay, wait for me to change clothes."
"Sir." The person outside the door said again, "The chariot and horses have been prepared for you. Mr. Zhang said that this matter is urgent, please hurry up."
"Okay." Ruan Qing said, "I'll go and put on some clothes."
Ruan Qing walked quickly.With Ku Rong's call, he closed the door and got into the carriage parked in the alley.
There was the sound of horseshoes and wheels.Ruan Qing's body in the car swayed slightly as she moved forward.
While arranging his clothes, he asked the boy who was driving outside, "Why did Mr. Zhang call me?"
"This villain doesn't know."
"Who else did Mr. Zhang invite?"
"It seems that Lu is engaged in it, and Bu Caojia (Bu Zhi)..."
The boy talked to four or five people in total.Ruan Qing thought about it carefully and was startled.Except for those brought by Sun Ce, almost all the confidantes of the Marquis of Wu's mansion came.
what happened...
Ruan Qing raised the curtains and looked at the cold stars in the solemn sky.
Sun Ce had just delivered the safety letter, and if something happened, Zhang Zhao would have left him in the daytime.So it must have happened suddenly.No one else knew beforehand.
Thinking of this, an idea gradually popped up in Ruan Qing's heart.If so, the situation is very dangerous.
Ruan Qing pursed her thin lips and clenched her fists.Suppress the anxiety in my heart.Let's hope it's not what he thinks.
The author has something to say:
感谢在2021-05-2110:23:23~2021-05-2123:13:35期间为我投出霸王票或灌溉营养液的小天使哦~
Thanks to the little angel who threw the mines: If you dig a hole and don’t fill it, you will get ~1;
Thanks to the little angel of the irrigation nutrient solution: 10 bottles of cute little fox sauce; if the hole is not filled, it will be ~1 bottle;
Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
But Guo Jia was not as happy as expected.
Xun Yu learned that he had been seriously ill when he was conquering high-ranking cadres. Before he came back, he emptied the wine cellar in his mansion and strictly ordered the servants to control his drinking.As a result, he hasn't tasted the wine properly for a long time.
What's more, even the letter from the school government's investigation and report gave him a headache.

Before the wine was served, Guo Jia was leaning on the railing, with a slight smile on his lips, although he was looking at the people passing by, he was thinking about something.

Now the Central Plains has settled down.Cao Cao was still debating whether the next step was the Northern Expedition or the Southern Expedition.He did not express his opinion.He knew that Cao Cao always had to weigh the pros and cons before asking their counselors about such matters.
In his opinion, it is better to conquer the Xiongnu first. The Xiongnu side has not been very stable these years, and Jiangdong has become more and more powerful. It is necessary to get the rear area settled first, and then go south to feel at ease.
But Cao Cao is still struggling.After thinking about it, I will figure it out.only……
Guo Jia seemed to think of something troublesome, and heaved a long sigh.
If Cao Cao knew the contents of the letter submitted by the school affairs office, he might not be able to wait for a moment and would go south.

Because of the fight a few days ago, he deliberately ignored his intention to go to Chaisang.Knowing that he used to be concerned about the war, hey, if you don't take him with you, you just play, ah, piss him off.
Seeing that Lu Su was still silent, Ruan Qing suddenly called out, "Brother, tell me."
Lu Su paused his hands, slowly raised his eyes, and said calmly, "As a subject, I will inform the lord of various temple calculations before the battle. You should do your best to help.”
"Then knowing that the master's decision is wrong?"
"..." Lu Su looked at Ruan Qing with a complicated expression, "Do you think you can persuade Marquis Wu to return?"
Ruan Qing was startled, and fell silent.
Lu Su comforted, "Perhaps this battle has been won, and the Jiangxia feud that has lasted for more than ten years has been resolved. Seeing such a situation, all ethnic groups in Jiangdong are forced to survive under the threat of deterrence."
"Brother." Ruan Qing frowned slightly, and couldn't help complaining, "You're always like this...too generous."
Otherwise, Zhuge Liang would not be coaxed to lend Jingzhou again and again in the future, and he would bear all Jiangdong's anger.
Lu Su just smiled and said nothing.
Sun Ce set off.Some assistant officials in the mansion accompanied the army, and the mansion was quiet for a while.Without that doggy man Sun Ce, Ruan Qing suddenly felt quite empty for some reason.
The army going out will report back every once in a while.But Sun Ce never sent a private letter to Ruan Qing.It seemed that the two of them never communicated again.
After hearing about the military situation from Zhang Zhaona, Ruan Qing and Lu Su walked slowly back to the small courtyard together.
It's winter, and everything is bleak.
Ruan Qing is very familiar with this road. From the time when she first came here, she was trembling every time she went there, and when she returned, she was full of grievances, and now she can calmly listen to any thunderous scolding. go down.The taste can only be experienced by yourself.
Ruan Qing counted the time in her mind, and suddenly realized that she had passed her thirties.If it weren't for Yuan Ling's protection, he might have to grow a beard gradually.
If he had stayed in Xuchang at the beginning, his title might have to be promoted again.Or maybe marrying a wife and concubines, in that kind of political vortex, even love is an accessory used to consolidate power.
"This world has been in chaos for decades, when will the mountains and rivers be unified." Ruan Qing sighed suddenly.
Lu Su said lightly, "The time is unknown, but there will always be that day."
Ruan Qing breathed out a short smile and counted them one by one, "Lu Bu, Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, these once great people are gradually passing away, how many of the Eighteenth Route princes are left?
A few days ago, Qing looked through the history books again, and suddenly found that a few lines of history were full of heroes killing heroes, and heroes cherishing heroes. "
"What's wrong with you today?"
"Ah? It's probably time is coming, so I'm a little entangled." Ruan Qing bent her deer eyes again, harmless to humans and animals, "Brother, if one day your mentor confronts Marquis Wu, which side will you choose to stand on?" ?”
"That won't happen." Lu Su said, "Su's mentor has passed away."
"Sorry." Ruan Qing said, "I didn't mean to."
"Su knows." Lu Su said, "My mentor raised me up, and my lord entrusts me with great value. If there is such a day, it will be difficult for Su to make a choice."
Ruan Qing was somewhat disappointed when she didn't hear the answer she wanted, and Lu Su asked again, "You once said that your hometown is in Yingchuan. Could it be that your mentor is now under Cao Cao's command?"
"Brother Zijing is really smart." Ruan Qing said, "One guess is sure."
"I heard that Cao Cao has wiped out Yuan Shaoyu's party. When the north is unified, he will eventually invade Jiangdong."
"That's right." Ruan Qing said, "Whether it's Cao... Sikong or Marquis Wu, they all want to unify the world in their own hands. In the ages, there can only be one king in a dynasty."
"Muer." Lu Su considered for a moment before saying cautiously, "You should have met Cao Cao. Or, you know Cao Cao."
"Why do you say that, brother?"
"You never call Cao Cao by his name directly. Even in private discussions, you always pass by vaguely. Su sometimes wonders how close Moore is to Cao Cao so that he doesn't call him by his name casually." Woolen cloth?"
"Brother." Ruan Qing smiled, stood outside the courtyard and said, "We're here."
"Yes." Lu Su also smiled gently, "I didn't expect you and I to go so fast."
"There is always an end to a road." Ruan Qing said with a little deep meaning, "But now Qing is always holding Wuhou's salary, and has never endangered Jiangdong."
"Let's end today's talk." Lu Su said under Ruan Qing's surprised gaze, "Everyone has some secrets. Su has seen what Moore did for Jiang Dong these years. You have lived up to Jiang Dong. "
Ruan Qing's staring eyes slightly eased, "Thank you."
The winter in Jiangdong is always milder than that in the north.At this time, there should be several snowfalls in the north.Jiang Dong has yet to let people wrap themselves in thick cotton clothes and huddle in the charcoal-burning room every day.
Although the stars in the winter night sky in Wu County are not as numerous as those in summer, they seem to be comparable to those in the north.
Ruan Qing was standing in the yard, looking up at the stars, and at her feet was Ku Rong, who had already grown thick and long hair. The breeze in the backyard seemed to have fallen asleep, very quiet.
In the past two years, Qingfeng has aged rapidly, and his appetite has decreased and decreased these days.The old man who has worked at home for many years said that Qingfeng probably won't survive this winter.
Qingfeng was given to him by Nanhua when he was ten years old, when Qingfeng was still a pony.In the blink of an eye, Qingfeng has been with him for 21 years.
The rapid knock on the door made Ku Rong at his feet prick up his ears.Noisy barking sounded in the quiet night.
Ruan Qing came to the door, put her hand on the latch and asked, "Who is that?"
"Sir." The voices of the people outside the door were filled with anxiety, "Mr. Zhang has sent an urgent message. Please go to Marquis Wu's mansion."
Ruan Qing was taken aback for a moment, obviously not knowing what happened, "Okay, wait for me to change clothes."
"Sir." The person outside the door said again, "The chariot and horses have been prepared for you. Mr. Zhang said that this matter is urgent, please hurry up."
"Okay." Ruan Qing said, "I'll go and put on some clothes."
Ruan Qing walked quickly.With Ku Rong's call, he closed the door and got into the carriage parked in the alley.
There was the sound of horseshoes and wheels.Ruan Qing's body in the car swayed slightly as she moved forward.
While arranging his clothes, he asked the boy who was driving outside, "Why did Mr. Zhang call me?"
"This villain doesn't know."
"Who else did Mr. Zhang invite?"
"It seems that Lu is engaged in it, and Bu Caojia (Bu Zhi)..."
The boy talked to four or five people in total.Ruan Qing thought about it carefully and was startled.Except for those brought by Sun Ce, almost all the confidantes of the Marquis of Wu's mansion came.
what happened...
Ruan Qing raised the curtains and looked at the cold stars in the solemn sky.
Sun Ce had just delivered the safety letter, and if something happened, Zhang Zhao would have left him in the daytime.So it must have happened suddenly.No one else knew beforehand.
Thinking of this, an idea gradually popped up in Ruan Qing's heart.If so, the situation is very dangerous.
Ruan Qing pursed her thin lips and clenched her fists.Suppress the anxiety in my heart.Let's hope it's not what he thinks.
