Chapter 144: No Time
Wancheng, Yinfu.
In the study, Huang Yueying was directing his subordinates to move volumes of books into Su Zhe's study.
In view of the imminent war between Su Zhe and Liu Biao, in order to avoid harming the Huang family, Huang Chengyan has taken his daughter Huang Yueying and the Huang family's property to the south of Wancheng to live temporarily in the name of traveling.
Huang Yueying came to Wancheng with a few carts of books and gave these books to Ban Zhe.
Looking at the rows of filled bookshelves in the study, Su Zhe couldn't help but exclaim: "The Huang family is really powerful, and they have hidden so many books. ”
"My Nanyang Huang family, although it is a partial branch of the Huang family, but it pays more attention to the inheritance of knowledge than the Jiangxia Huang family, these books are just the tip of the iceberg of my family's book collection, I only picked out some books that are helpful to you right now and brought them over."
Huang Yueying talked about her own style, and her tone was filled with a bit of pride.
Su Zhe flipped through a few volumes, all of which were practical books such as "The Art of War", "Liutao" and so on, which have been used in the world and used in the turbulent times to compete for power and the art of war.
"Yes, yes, these books are being used to calm troubled times, and they are just what I want." Su Zhe nodded with satisfaction.
As he spoke, he picked up a volume and prepared to read it at his desk.
Huang Yueying accompanied the attendants, with red sleeves and fragrance, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Su Zhe had just read a little taste, and the soldiers outside came to report, saying that it was a woman named Xiaoyun, who claimed to be Miss Cai's personal maidservant, and she was in a hurry to see her.
"Cai Shu's personal maidservant?" Su Zhe looked surprised, put down the book in his hand, and looked at Huang Yueying.
It has been more than a month since Cai Shu came to leak secrets to him to warn him the previous time, and there has been no news of her, but he didn't expect that she would send someone to come on the eve of the war, which couldn't help but make Su Zhe suspicious.
Huang Yueying's expression was also moved, but she said: "That Xiaoyun is indeed Shu'er's henchman and maidservant, she is here to find you at some time, maybe there are any secrets to reveal to you, let's meet them quickly." ”
Su Zhe nodded, and then asked that Xiaoyun to come in.
After a while, Xiao Yun hurriedly walked into the study, Huang Yueying recognized her at a glance, and signaled to Su Zhe that this Xiao Yun's identity was correct.
"Slave Xiaoyun, I've seen Master Su." Xiao Yunfu bowed and bowed down in front of him.
"Miss Xiaoyun is exempt." Su Zhe flicked his hands and asked, "You don't serve your young lady in Xiangyang, what is the matter with coming to this official?" ”
Xiaoyun took out the golden hairpin from his arms and held it to Su Zhe with both hands, "The slave maid was ordered by Miss to make a special trip to hand over this Miss Miss's favorite hairpin to Master Su." ”
Golden hairpins?
is still Cai Shu's favorite golden hairpin.
Su Zhe took the hairpin, looked at it carefully, and looked at Huang Yueying suspiciously.
"This is indeed Sister Shu'er's stuff." Huang Yueying nodded.
Su Zhe played with the hairpin and said puzzledly: "Your young lady is so dignified, what did you do with this hairpin for me?" ”
"My young lady asked me to tell Su Dazi that the only person she really likes in her life is you, even if she dies, she will not marry that Liu Qi, and this hairpin is a token left by Miss Su to Master Su."
Su Zhe's heart was shocked, and at this moment, he was deeply shocked in his heart.
At this moment, he also truly confirmed that the arrogant and domineering lady of the Cai family was indeed in love with him.
It's just that Huang Yueying was on his side, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Huang Yueying's expression was also moved, and she couldn't help but sigh lightly, and glanced at Su Zhe, the meaning of that look seemed to say: Now, you should finally believe me.
Su Zhe was silent, he knew that at such a moment, as a man, he must not pretend to be dumb.
He put down the golden hairpin lightly and sighed lightly: "Su is really flattered to be favored by Miss Cai, but why didn't she come in person, but she wanted you to send this hairpin." ”
"Miss, she can't come." Sadness welled up between Xiaoyun's eyebrows.
"Why?" A hint of uneasiness flashed in Su Zhe's eyes.
Xiaoyun almost cried: "Because Miss was put under house arrest by the master, the master wanted to force her to marry the eldest son of Liu, Miss and I escaped easily, I wanted to escape to Wancheng to find Master Su, but I was still chased by the master by the Hanshui, Miss knew that she couldn't escape, so she gave me this golden hairpin and asked me to come to Lord Su." ”
Su Zhe's body shook suddenly, his eyes swelled with surprise, and his heart couldn't help but feel a deep emotion.
He really didn't expect that Cai Shu would fall in love with him, and he would not hesitate to make a drastic move to escape marriage, which was insulting to the family.
At this moment, his heart was deeply shocked, and his original dislike for Cai Shu had disappeared.
He even felt a slight throbbing of his heartbeat.
Even Huang Yueying, who was beside her, was surprised, and couldn't help but sigh: "Although Sister Shu'er is willful and domineering on the surface, in her heart, she is an infatuated woman after all, I didn't expect her to be so affectionate to you!" ”
Love is so deep, love is so deep......
Su Zhe picked up the golden hairpin again, looking at this hairpin, he couldn't help but think of scenes with Cai Shu in his mind.
The first sight outside the Wangjiang Pavilion.
On the side of the barracks, how proud she was to bow down under her pomegranate skirt.
Not long ago, in order to save herself, she did not hesitate to put down her body and came to Wancheng to warn, and how to let go of her pride and say that she liked herself.
And today, this golden hairpin, the ones conveyed by Xiaoyun, sounds like a true confession of life and death......
The bits and pieces of the past gradually ignited a flame in her heart, melting Su Zhe's frozen heart towards her.
"A woman, for my sake, I don't hesitate to break with the family, the love is so deep, Su Zhe, Su Zhe, if you can still be indifferent, what is the difference between you and the beast......"
Su Zhe suddenly clenched the golden hairpin in his hand, looked at Xiaoyun with a blade-like gaze, and asked, "When is the wedding date of your young lady and Liu Qi?" ”
"Miss's wedding date is set for ten days later, and in the afternoon of the same day, the eldest prince of Liu will go to my Caijiazhuang to pick up his relatives, and in the evening he will marry in the Xiangyang Prefecture Pastoral Mansion."
Saying that, Xiao Yun pounced and knelt down, sobbing and begging: "Lord Su, my young lady has a deep love for Lord Su, and Lord Su must help her." ”
Su Zhe hurriedly stood up, stretched out his hand to help Xiaoyun up, and said with a resolute face: "Don't worry, she treats me like this, how can I, Su Zhe, bear her." ”
At that moment, Su Zhe sent Su Xiaoxiao and told her to settle Xiaoyun first.
Immediately afterwards, Su Zhe ordered to immediately summon Li Yan and Gan Ning to go to the main hall to discuss matters.
Huang Yueying Bingxue was smart, and from Su Zhe's tone of words, she had already guessed what he wanted to do, but she also knew that Su Zhe was distressed, so she didn't stop her.
Half an hour later, Li Yan and Gan Ning hurried to the main hall and saw that Su Zhe had already sat on the top of the house, his expression was solemn, his eyes were sharp, and he was full of a strong killing aura.
This kind of aura, contrary to Su Zhe's usual leisurely and leisurely, actually made them feel a trace of oppression.
They had a vague sense that something big was about to happen.
Seeing that the two of them had arrived, Su Zhe asked, "Li Zhengfang, how many soldiers and horses do we have at present that can be used to fight Liu Biao." ”
"Back to Fu Yin, in addition to the 3,000 soldiers and horses left in Wancheng, we can mobilize 7,000 soldiers and horses to fight Liu Biao, if we can delay it for another month, we can get together 8,000."
Su Zhe looked at Gan Ning again and asked, "Xingba, what about the naval army you secretly trained?" ”
"I have secretly trained a thousand sailors for Gongzi, but the combat effectiveness is still a little lacking, not as good as my original group of brothers, if you can give me another month, I may guarantee that their combat effectiveness can definitely surpass the Jingzhou navy."
A month, if you want to be prepared, it will take another month.
It's a pity that Su Zhe didn't have time to wait any longer.
He slowly stood up, took a deep breath, and said sharply: "I now order, all the soldiers and soldiers are ready immediately, and I will preemptively attack Liu Biao in ten days!" ”
