Ruan Qing put on the clothes of a servant and was taken back to the mansion by Sun Quan.

Sun Quan also thought that the reason for the death of his brother was to keep the spirit, so he drove away everyone else at night.There were only two of them in the mourning hall.

Ethereal tulle hangs in the lobby.Ruan Qing could only vaguely see the unsealed coffin parked inside.

He lit the incense stick, bowed three times against his forehead, inserted it into the incense altar, and knelt down on the futon next to Sun Quan.

After all, he got to know Sun Ce once, and he deserved to watch the night for him.

Looking at the white smoke curling up, Ruan Qing felt a little dreamy for a moment.He really couldn't associate this silent white with that unrestrained man who was always dressed in bright red.

now think of it.He works under Sun Ce as if it was yesterday.

What Sun Quan said still echoed in his mind.

He couldn't understand Sun Ce.

He thought that Sun Ce had never told him the truth.He never cared about the things Sun Ce promised him.

Does Sun Ce like him?

How could it be possible, this man was clearly thinking about how to satisfy his selfish desires from the beginning to the end, and broke his wings.Obviously this man can only plunder strongly.

But why did Sun Ce go to build the Laojun Temple, and hang his portrait and his silk paintings in the room.It is even filled with shells and pebbles picked up from the sea.

Why does he feel very uncomfortable in his heart, as if he can't breathe.Obviously he hates this man.

This man is so arrogant, perverse, paranoid, cruel, and selfish.

But she is also so young, flamboyant, clear, powerful, and wise...

Ruan Qing blinked, he felt his eyeballs a little sour.Probably it was smoked by the strong sandalwood in this room.

"When he left, was he okay." His voice was a little hoarse, and he was deliberating, not daring to say the most sensitive words.

Looking at the coffin, Sun Quan thought of Sun Ce's thin cheeks, and the grayness that appeared on his temples because Ruan Qing left. He said, "It's okay. It's not very painful."

He vaguely saw Sun Ce holding Ruan Qing's hand stove in both hands on the sickbed.This tall and powerful man is like a fallen leaf in the autumn wind. He has long been emaciated, but he still holds the hand stove tightly, as if a person who is about to freeze to death in the cold winter is absorbing the last bit of warmth.

"Zhou Lang, haven't you come back?" Ruan Qing held the words in her mouth for a long time, but she still asked, "I want to come to Marquis Wu, no, the one Marquis Wu wants to see the most before he leaves is Zhou Lang."

"Gongjin was injured when he captured Nanjun, but he has already sent a message." Sun Quan said almost in a tone of voice, "I probably won't be able to make it back."

In the twilight of the morning, when someone came to replace him, Sun Quan took Ruan Qing away.

After sending each other to the outside of the city gate, it was finally time to part.

Everything is bleak on the land in winter, and the wet and cool wind from Jiangdong blows on the face.It's hard to believe that in just one night, Ruan Qing's dry skin, which was blown by the strong northwest wind, became delicate again.

Probably his body has really adapted to Jiangdong's solar terms long ago.

"Will we meet again?" Sun Quan stared deeply at Ruan Qing, with reluctance in his deep eyes.Like a spring breeze passing over the lake, try to leave some ripples.

Ruan Qing smiled but did not answer.

Sun Quan closed his eyes, took in a breath almost unsteadily, tried his best to calm his mood, and opened his eyes with a free and easy smile.

"Let's go." Sun Quan clenched his fists tightly, his joints were innocent, but the corners of his lips curled up gently, and he didn't know whether he was comforting Ruan Qing or himself.

"This time, I want to watch you leave with my own eyes."

Ruan Qing smiled apologetically and nodded, turned over, galloped away, and ran away a long way in a few moments, leaving only the dust in the air, proving that someone passed by here just now.

Sun Quan's gentle brows and eyes gradually turned cold, and he couldn't smile anymore, but those eyes were still staring into the distance, even though he couldn't see anything anymore.

He knew that Ruan Qing would return to Cao Cao one day.Now that he has sat on the position of Marquis Wu, he should not be willful.When he saw Ruan Qing, he should immediately find a way to strangle Ruan Qing in order to prevent future disasters from being planted.

But he couldn't do it.He couldn't let his hands be covered with Ruan Qing's warm blood, and let the warm body he was familiar with gradually cool down.He didn't dare to think about Ruan Qing's unbelievable expression when he looked at him.

Ruan Qing was the person he and his elder brother tried their best to keep.

After all, the two of them took different paths, diverged from each other, drifted away, and there was no possibility of recovery.

If Ruan Qing was with her elder brother at first, would all this be different?

This absurd idea was suppressed by Sun Quan at the same time.

Just as Sun Ce did not convince Ruan Qing of his deep affection until his death, Ruan Qing stayed in Jiangdong for many years and did not let Sun Quan know about Linhai's determination to live together forever. At this moment, Sun Quan can no longer convince Ruan Qing of his remorse.

These are all because of a fire in Chibi, because of Sun Ce's sudden death, and because of Ruan Qing's departure.But buried in the yellow sand of the years was slowly eroded, and will never be mentioned again.

Soochow's monarchs and ministers are always growing up in unexpected partings.

People passing by the road outside the city that day saw a tall man like a stone statue, looking into the distance for a long time without moving.Those strange blue eyes seemed to be able to shed tears at any time, but in the end nothing came out.

Ruan Qing returned to Fufeng again.

Apart from knowing that Yang Zhao and Song Jian were raising Gu corpses, he couldn't find any other clues.Fortunately, relying on these two people can also raise a lot of Gu corpses.

He remembered that there would be a final battle between Cao Cao and Ma Chao, so he wanted to join Ma Chao's command in preparation for the future.

But it is too slow to start directly enlisting as a sergeant.He remembered that Cao Wen had joined Pang De's command last year, so he planned to join him.

When he arrived at the city guarded by Pound, he learned that Pound had been transferred back to Ma Chao's command.

Since Ma Teng was awarded the post of Weiwei by the imperial court, he went to the central government to serve as an official.Ma Chao and his father's original army stationed in Huaili.

Huaili is adjacent to the Weishui River in the south, and along the river course it goes west to Chang'an.

When Ruan Qing arrived here, she first inquired about where Pound was stationed.He learned that he was stationed with Ma Chao's army.So I went to the camp.Guo was blocked by guarding soldiers with long guns.

He asked the other party if there was someone named Cao Wen here.How did the two of them remember so many people in the camp?He was also very unfriendly to Ruan Qing, saying that he didn't know.

So Ruan Qing said, "He is under the command of General Pound, please ask the military master to call him out."

The soldier was very impatient, "You will see the people in the barracks as soon as you say they are, leave quickly, or you will be arrested as a spy." He said and wanted to drive them away.

Ruan Qing hurriedly took out a heavy horseshoe gold from her arms, stuffed it into the opponent's hand, and smiled flatteringly, "Master, please help me find it. I'm from his hometown, and I have something urgent to find him."

The sergeant took advantage of the situation and put it away, and said to the other person, "You stay on guard first, and I will go in and find someone for him."

Ruan Qing was not short of money, so she first stole some money from Yang Zhaona.When they parted, Sun Quan took the initiative to give him a large bag of gold and silver, for fear that he would starve to death.

Seeing people go in, he looked at the military stronghold here.I saw the high gate densely packed with flags fluttering. It was probably training soldiers inside. There was a lot of yelling, and more than a hundred horses galloped back and forth. Dust was flying.

Throughout history, the Xiliang army has always had a combat effectiveness that cannot be underestimated, and has left a strong mark on the historical stage.The reason lies in the Qianghu transformation of the cavalry.

The army absorbed the more convenient clothing customs of the Qiang people, which made it very convenient to fight immediately, and strong Qiang people joined the army, which strengthened the army.It is precisely because of their strong combat effectiveness that the Liangzhou iron cavalry was able to surprise the situation at the time of the separatist regime at the end of the Han Dynasty.

There are folk songs that are singing, 'Liangzhou Dama, rampant in the world. '

I don't know how long I waited, a person came from afar, bypassed the training ground, went out and saw that it was Ruan Qing, smiled and opened her arms, "Sijiu!"

Being surrounded by shoulders, Ruan Qing felt that Cao Wen's body was much stronger.

Cao Wen patted him on the back and immediately let go, pulled his wrist and walked in, his eyes brightened, and he muttered, "They said that a fellow came to look for me, and I guessed it was you. You really are, a I haven't seen you for more than a year, so I just thought about coming, I almost thought you forgot about me. Today you and I have to have a good drink."

Ruan Qing looked at Cao Wen with a smile, "That's going to bother me."

"What nonsense." Just as he was talking, he arrived at a tent.Cao Wen flipped it open, "Come, come, this is where I live."

Ruan Qing went in and watched slowly, Cao Wen beckoned him to sit down.

"Brother Zizhang can do it." Ruan Qing teased, "This is a separate tent, it must be very popular under General Pound's command."

"Damn, that's it. Drink water." Cao Wen bent down and put the cup on the table, and sat cross-legged next to Ruan Qing, "But I have already been transferred to work under General Ma Chao. How have you been this year? ?”

Ruan Qing opened her mouth and was about to speak.A voice calling Cao Wen could be heard faintly outside the tent.

"Here we come." Cao Wen responded loudly, and said to Ruan Qing while getting up, "You wait here for a while, and I will come to you when the soldiers are scattered."

Ruan Qing nodded in a daze, watching Cao Wen go out.

There were shouts outside the tent.Ruan Qing sat for a while, then went out to breathe.

He knew that he was asking someone to do something now, so he naturally tried not to cause trouble, so he just stood by the tent and stretched his muscles.

There was a burst of dust, and four or five cavalry rode their horses towards this place. One of them was the first, wearing silver armor and shining brightly, his pockets reflecting the sun.Sitting down, the horse is strong and white, very eye-catching.

They were extremely fast, before Ruan Qing could see clearly, they skipped over and went to the back.

Ruan Qing stretched her arms and legs again, and started a set of punches slowly.

When he was playing with himself, another man dressed as a scribe walked by, holding a heavy bamboo slip in his hand, about a dozen volumes.

I saw that he was anxious, his face was flushed, and his forehead was sweating. He didn't know whether he was tired or anxious.

Seeing Ruan Qing looking at him, he immediately walked over as if he had found a life-saving straw, "Little brother, I forgot to bring some official documents. These things are too heavy. Please help me to look at them. I will be right back after I have them." . good."

Ruan Qing nodded blankly for some reason, seeing the man kept thanking him, put the stack on the ground, and trotted back.

Being far away from people, he was planning to stretch his limbs slowly.And a person appeared out of nowhere, with an impatient expression on his face, "Tinghou is here, where did this person die?"

Suddenly his eyes fell on the bamboo slips at his feet, and then on Ruan Qing's face.

Ruan Qing, "..." Is there a problem?

"Are you the new Cangcao?" the man asked.

"I..." Ruan Qing just opened her mouth, but was interrupted by this man, "Okay, stop talking nonsense, come with me."

After walking two steps, he turned around and looked at Ruan Qing who was still frozen in place, "Still leaving?! Do you want Marquis Ting to wait for you exclusively!"

"not me……"

The man didn't listen to Ruan Qing's words, he couldn't help but stuff the bamboo slips into his arms, and then grabbed the man by the collar and strode forward.

Ruan Qing looked at the back of this man's head in horror, and instantly felt that she was holding a bunch of hot potatoes in her hands, and she didn't want to throw it away, or not throw it away.

He was about to say that he had admitted the wrong person.The man turned him back with another sentence, "Remember to be excited when you see Tinghou. Don't be dumbfounded."

After speaking, he opened the curtain without stopping, and let go the moment he was pulled in, leaving no room for him to repent.

I saw four or five people standing in the room, lined up on both sides, some in armor, some in literati clothes.

Sitting above him was the silver-armored general he had just seen.

Only this time he looked carefully, his face was like powder, with thick eyebrows and straight nose.The eyebrow peak of the right eyebrow is broken, adding a bit of coolness.The brow bone is slightly high, making his eyes deep and aggressive, like a lone wolf on the grassland.The knees were separated, and the hand pressed the waist sword, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

As he entered the account, the people who were still talking stopped talking and looked at him.

Ruan Qing immediately felt that there was a heavy burden on his head, which made him a little bit unable to lift his head.Especially that Marquis Ting, whose slightly cool eyes fell on him, with a sense of scrutiny, as if he was looking at how much he weighed, what a great face.

"that……"

Ruan Qing just wanted to explain that you arrested the wrong person.Ma Chao spat out three words miserly, "Present." There was a slight coldness in the words, and there was a contempt for the subordinates from the superiors.But the voice is very pleasant, slightly magnetic, but not deep, and a little clear.

Ruan Qing could only bite the bullet and put the things in front of the other party, and then hurriedly took a few steps back.

Ma Chao raised his eyelids and glanced at Ruan Qing, then picked up a roll at will, and unfolded it with a splash.

He laid it on the pile and looked at it, and said indifferently, still a little casually, "How is the consumption of food and grass in the Chinese army recently?"

Ruan Qing, "Huh?"

The person who brought Ruan Qing turned his head with a look of horror.It's over, it's over, this kid is over.

Ruan Qing had nothing to say, and Ma Chao stopped asking, and the tent suddenly became strangely quiet.

The general in armor frowned and said in a rough voice, "The general is asking you something."

I'm not deaf, what do you say?

"Actually, I..." Ruan Qing was about to say, when the scribe on the other side suddenly pointed at him and said in surprise, "I've met the newcomer Cang Cao a few times, you're not him."

Ruan Qing, "..." I really thank you for not saying it earlier.

Everyone looked at him warily.

With a sound of a sharp knife coming out of its sheath, the general who urged Ruan Qing to speak just now put the knife on his neck.

"Who are you, who sent you to join the army."

Ruan Qing opened her mouth, "I..."

"Hurry up." The blade resting on his shoulder was instantly close to his neck, and a slight movement would cut his skin and splash hot blood.

Ruan Qing was speechless for a moment.

Can it be saved again?Let him finish a sentence from beginning to end!Are the people here in Xiliang so anxious that they don't let people talk?

"I'm here to find someone in the camp." Ruan Qing finally finished speaking, tears of excitement almost fell down.

He continued to explain, "The Cang Cao Shao you mentioned took a roll of documents and turned them back to get them. These are too heavy. Please ask me to take care of them for him."

After saying this, Ruan Qing immediately felt that her body was unobstructed, and she sighed in her heart that it was not easy.

As for that Cang Cao, he can only wish the other party good luck.

As if to confirm his words.As soon as he finished speaking, that Cang Cao walked in.Seeing the scene where swords and soldiers meet in the tent, they panicked.

"Cang Cao, what's the matter with you!" said the literati just now.

Cang Cao hurriedly walked around the two of them and knelt on the ground to pray for forgiveness, "Forgive me, the general, but the villain is late because of something."

Ma Chao put his elbows on his knees, bent slightly, leaned forward slightly, propped his chin, and looked at him with narrowed eyes, hiding his emotions, neither happy nor angry, making it impossible to guess what he wants to do next second Well.

"What's the matter with this man?" asked the general who held a knife against Ruan Qing's neck.

Under the heavy pressure that was almost substantive, Cangcao and Cao were fighting each other, sweating coldly, and hurriedly explained, which was exactly as Ruan Qing said.

"Let it go." Ma Chao straightened up, leaning lazily on the back of the couch behind him.

With the sharp blade back in its sheath, Ruan Qing touched her neck, but luckily it didn't break the skin.

"Who are you looking for?" Ma Chao glanced lightly at Ruan Qing, resting his finger on his head, pressing his index finger on his temple, and his middle finger covering the broken eyebrow.

Ruan Qing knew that if she said something wrong at this time, she would die in the wolf's den, so she could only speak out at the risk of causing trouble for Cao Wen.

"Cao Wen..." Ma Chao pondered for a moment before saying, "I know him." Then he said to the person who brought Ruan Qing, "Bring him here."

Ruan Qing suddenly felt guilty.He has caused trouble for others before asking them to do something.At that time, I don't know how to open this mouth.

Not long after Cao Wen entered the account, seeing Ruan Qing's expression remained unchanged, he directly saluted Ma Chao.

"Do you recognize him?" Ma Chao was still leaning on him, his eyes were calm, and his whole body revealed the austerity of an army commander.

"Yes." Cao Wen replied without raising his head.

"Cao Wen." Ma Chao's tone suddenly became severe, "Leaving outsiders in the camp privately, you are so brave."

Cao Wen immediately knelt down on both knees, "Convicted of my humble position."

I sighed silently in my heart.Ruan Qing thought to herself, sure enough, she still got into trouble.I don't know if there will be an intersection between the two after this encounter.

He hurriedly knelt down and explained, "General, this is a villain's fault. The villain wanted to join the army, but he didn't know the military process, and he heard that a friend was serving in the army, so he pestered Cao Wen to bring me in. of."

Cao Wen turned his head slightly in surprise to look at Ruan Qing, obviously he didn't expect that Ruan Qing came to him for this reason.

Hearing this, Ma Chao sneered, and said harshly, "There are recruitment places in the city, you just go there, and you don't know the process. Obviously, you want to find a position easily because of your acquaintances in the army."

Ruan Qing pursed her lips almost into a line, lowered her head severely, as if she was about to drop her head on the ground, and remained silent.

"That's all. You are Zizhang's friend, and you dare to have such thoughts. You have some ability." Ma Chao got up, and said when passing Ruan Qing, "You two come with me."

Ruan Qing and Cao Wen looked at each other, got up and followed behind.

Ma Chao took them to a school field.Picking up a bow from the weapons rack, he shook it and threw it at Ruan Qing.

He hurriedly caught it, only to hear Ma Chao say, "If you hit the red heart on the target here, I'll give you a little help."

Taking a closer look, he saw that the target in front of him was at least a hundred paces away from him.

Ruan Qing, "..." If I am good at archery, why would I suffer when Cao Cao threw Xiahouyuan back then?

The worst among the cavalry and infantry is the crossbowman.

When the book is ready for use, write Fang Heishao's testimonials.

He swallowed.Nocking the arrow and pulling the bow, the posture is standard and free and easy.

Let go, "嗖~"

The turban on the pawn who was passing innocently was gone.

The target was far away from the frightened little pawn.This is biased, and I can't find an excuse to excuse it.

Ma Chao beside him sneered.

Cao Wen hurriedly fought for him, "General, he is very good at riding. I implore the general to try his horseback riding skills again."

No, I can't.Ruan Qing was terrified.

Brother, what you said is ambiguous. Did you ask Ma Chao to give me the right move?No, I can't even beat Zhao Yun, not to mention Jin Ma Chao who stood shoulder to shoulder with Lu Bu in later generations.will die!

Ma Chao looked at Cao Wen with a faint smile, "There are many Qiang people who are good at riding. Why do you need him?"

"Let's just be a soldier honestly." Without looking at Ruan Qing, he only left this sentence when he left.

The author has something to say:

"The monarchs and ministers of Soochow have been growing up in unexpected partings"

This sentence is what I saw in a copy.If you think about it carefully, it really is.

Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao, Lu Su...all left one after another.

The originally bright and youthful young man took over the heavy responsibility and gradually became the sunken Soochow Emperor wearing a crown.
