The girl who bowed to Zhou Tong was born with willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes, tall, and looked like she was only twelve or thirteen years old, but her height had reached about seven feet, not to mention far surpassing girls of the same age, even compared to adult men.

I saw that she was dressed in a red power suit, with a purple ribbon around her waist, and her figure was even more slender and slender; Ashiden wears a pair of white animal-skin combat boots with heels, a delicately decorated treasure carved bow on his back, and a black green silk shawl like a waterfall. The gestures are heroic, and the momentum does not let the eyebrows be shaved.

Seeing Zhou Tong's surprised face, Sun Ce laughed loudly and said: "Let Uncle Zhou laugh, this is her sister Shangxiang, who is twelve years old this year." Since childhood, he didn't like women, but danced swords and swords like a boy, and galloped on horseback. This rash apprenticeship, abruptly, I hope Uncle Zhou will not be surprised! ”

"It turned out to be the sister of General Sun, no wonder such a woman doesn't let her eyebrows, but she is old and disrespectful!" Zhou Tong had an expression of sudden epiphany, and hurriedly bent down to support Sun Shangxiang, "Miss Sun, please get up quickly, you are the daughter of General Wentai, and you don't deserve to worship you!" ”

Before Liu Bian's crossing, the world used "Niangzi" as the title of unmarried girl, but as Liu Bian's rule in Jiangdong became entrenched, some new titles began to be introduced. The people's titles for the daughters of ladies and dignitaries have gradually changed from "lady" to miss, and ordinary girls are called "girls"; Because it is more appropriate, it spreads rapidly in the land of China like a prairie fire.

Sun Shangxiang has never seen Zhou Dong's martial arts, but since his arrogant brothers want to worship him as a teacher, it means that this person must have something extraordinary, so Sun Shangxiang has an attitude of not giving up until he reaches his goal.

Kneeling on the ground at the moment. Said solemnly: "My brother and Brother Gongjin are like brothers, Master, you are Brother Gongjin's uncle." It's my brother's uncle, then it's Xiangxiang's uncle! Since my uncle has a heart and is not a school. How can you hide your niece from your niece? If Master doesn't agree to Xiangxiang's request today, Xiangxiang will kneel on the ground and not get up! ”

"Haha...... No wonder Gongjin said that Miss Sun is a strange woman who dares to act, and it was the case when I saw it today. Uncle, you agreed to Miss's request! ”

Zhou Dewei, who returned to sit behind the banquet, stroked his beard with his hand, laughed and pleaded for Sun Shangxiang. Thinking that it would not be long before such an outstanding beautiful lady would marry Liu Bei, a middle-aged man, as a concubine, she felt infinite regret in her heart, "Hey...... Gong Jin, Gong Jin, what bad idea did you have? It's really delaying the future of Miss Sun's life! ”

Zhou Tong stroked his beard and groaned, his face was embarrassed, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while. In this kind of thing. Sun Ce couldn't force it, so he could only look at Zhou Tong with a smile on the side, waiting for him to make his own decision.

Sun Shangxiang is Bing Xue smart, and he can guess Zhou Dong's thoughts, and Yan Ran said with a smile: "Xiangxiang knows what the master cares about, you must be afraid that Xiangxiang's qualifications are dull, and if you don't practice kung fu well, you will lose your face!" In this way, Xiangxianglu will show the master with one hand, if you think that Xiangxianglu is unteachable. Then Xiangxiang never mentioned this matter! If the master thinks that Xiangxiang is a malleable talent, then ask the master to accept Xiangxiang as an apprentice. ”

As soon as the words fell, Sun Shangxiang got up from the ground and instructed the guards at the door: "Take three copper coins and hang them side by side." Watch this girl shoot with an arrow! ”

The guard agreed, and quickly searched for the five baht and the rope. Now that Sun Shangxiang has already talked about this, Zhou Tong can't say anything more. At the moment, he knelt quietly behind the table and watched Sun Shangxiang's performance.

It doesn't take a moment. The guards were in the courtyard in front of the living room, hanging three square-hole five-baht coins side by side, from the center of the living room where Sun Shangxiang was. It looks like about 120 steps.

Sun Shangxiang took off the treasure carving bow from his back, ordered the soldiers to send a carved arrow, and then stood in the center of the feast and bent the bow and arrows, and slowly aimed at the three copper coins in the courtyard.

"Medium!"

With a coquettish sound, I saw the white feather arrow leave the string with the sound of the wind.

Shot the square hole of the first copper coin impartially, and then continued to fly forward, and put the second copper coin and the third copper coin on the arrow shaft respectively, the remaining momentum was still inexhaustible, and finally with a "duh" sound, it shot on the poplar tree in the yard, and entered the wood for three points.

"Good archery, what a girl who doesn't let her eyebrows go!"

Zhou Dewei was the first to applaud, followed by thunderous applause and cheers in the hall.

Sun Shangxiang hung his favorite treasure carving bow back on his back, proudly raised his chest much larger than that of girls of the same age, and pouted to Zhou Tong: "Master, do you think Xiangxiang is worthy of being your apprentice?" ”

"Huh...... Miss Sun's archery skills are outstanding, and she has such attainments at such a young age, which really makes the old man breathtaking! If it is cultivated, it will become a great tool in the future, and it is true that women are not as good as men! You fool, old decay! Zhou Tong stroked his beard and smiled, and agreed to Sun Shangxiang's request with a smile.

Sun Shangxiang smiled like a peach blossom in March, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you Master for your success, please accept Xiangxiang!" ”

Zhou Tong smiled and got up to help: "Xiang'er doesn't have to be polite, it's for the teacher's heart!" ”

Sun Ce said seriously: "This is not good, you need to buy a tribute, and you need to worship the master!" ”

Zhou Tong said a few words such as exempt, but Sun Ce didn't listen, turned his head and ordered the guards to prepare the sacrifices, and offered a gift to Zhou Tong, and ordered Sun Shangxiang to pour tea and kowtow, and then gave up.

Sun Shangxiang's apprenticeship had just ended, and the captain guarding the city gate suddenly came to report: "Qiqi lord, there is a general outside the gate who is single-handed, with a dusty look, saying that he has come to join the lord." ”

"Oh...... Who's coming? Hearing that someone came to defect, Sun Ce suddenly became interested.

The lieutenant arched his hand and said: "This general looks extraordinary, but he refuses to report his name, saying that he is only willing to submit if the lord personally goes to the city to talk to him." Otherwise, turn the horse away! ”

"Who is so arrogant?" Sun Liden was dissatisfied, "A general who has come to return to Shun has also put up such a big shelf, let me go to the city wall to have a look!" ”

Sun Ce waved his hand to stop: "Don't be rude, since the other party has come from afar, I should treat each other politely." So I went to the city myself and saw who were there. ”

Sun Ce immediately ordered someone to arrange accommodation for Zhou Tong's uncle and nephew to let them rest for a while. Then he personally took Zhu Sheng and Sun Li, surrounded by a hundred and ten personal soldiers, and went straight to the Xiangyang city wall.

However, after a cup of tea, Sun Ce and his entourage came to Xiangyang City.

Looking closely, I saw a general about eight feet tall under the city, covered with wind and dust, holding a tiger-headed golden gun, born with a majestic appearance, about thirty years old, waiting anxiously at the moment.

Sun Ce bowed his hand on the city wall and shouted loudly: "Sun Ce is so, I don't know who the general under the city is?" ”

Seeing that Sun Ce really arrived as promised, the general under the city showed a hint of relief, and returned the salute on the saddle: "I have heard for a long time that the young hero of Jingnan Xiaobawang is really worthy of its reputation when I see it today!" I am Xichuan Zhang Ren is also, because the old lord Liu Zhang opened the door and surrendered to Liu Bei, a certain refused to serve under Liu Bei, so the horse went out of Bashu and came to Xiangyang to join General Bo Fu. ”

"Oops...... It turned out to be the famous General Zhang Ren, you are willing to come to Shun, it is really a blessing for my Sun family! Sun Ce was overjoyed, and immediately ordered the defenders at the head of the city, "Drop the drawbridge, open the city gate, and let General Zhang enter the city!" ”

"Wait!" Zhu Sheng, who had been silent, suddenly opened his mouth to stop, "Let me ask a few words first, so as not to deceive!" ”

Without waiting for Sun Ce to say, Zhu Sheng bowed his hand to Zhang Ren and said: "I am Zhu Sheng, a military advisor under General Sun, and I take the liberty to ask General Zhang." Now that the Eastern Han army is pressing the border, and the Xiangyang Dynasty is not safe, why didn't General Zhang go to the Eastern Han Dynasty or other princes, but he wanted to come to submit to my lord? ”

Zhang Ren immediately replied: "Since the military advisor asked so much, Zhang Ren will tell the truth." The person I look down on the most in my life is Liu Bei, a big-eared thief, besides, Zhang Ren received the great favor of the old lord, but he couldn't assist Liu Jiyu to keep the land, I was really ashamed, how could I go to the Eastern Han Dynasty court with Liu Bei? Therefore, I came to Xiangyang to defect to General Bo Fu before! ”

"I also know that General Zhang was the most important general when Liu Yizhou was alive, and your lord was destroyed by Liu Bei, so it is normal for you not to go to the Jinling court. The Luoyang Imperial Court currently has 300,000 troops, second only to the Eastern Han Army, why didn't General Zhang go to Luoyang to take refuge, and had to come to Xiangyang, where the soldiers pressed the border? Zhu Sheng was still cautiously skeptical.

Zhang Ren patiently explained: "First, if you want to go to Luoyang, you need to go to Jiameng Pass, Yangping Pass, and Hanzhong, all of which have been occupied by Liu Beijun along the way, and Zhang Ren is sad. Second, during the crusade against the Yellow Turban, a certain was ordered by the old lord to fight side by side with the late General Sun Wentai, which can be regarded as a thin friendship. It is precisely for the above reasons that Zhang Rencai trekked through mountains and rivers, escaped from Bashu and came to Xiangyang to join General Bofu. If the military advisor still has doubts, Zhang Ren will turn around and leave, and he will definitely no longer force it! ”

Seeing what Zhang Ren said frankly, Zhu Sheng hurriedly apologized: "Hehe...... General Zhang should not be angry, the enemy is at present, and he has to be more careful. I'll have the gates open to welcome the general into the city! ”

The drawbridge fell, the city gate opened, Sun Ce took Zhu Sheng and Sun Li to meet him under the city gate in person, held his hand to greet him, and rewarded Zhang Ren with a miscellaneous general, and ordered someone to prepare a place for him to stay, bathe and change clothes, wash away the dust, and set up a banquet for him to catch the wind and wash the dust at night.

After placing Zhang Ren, Sun Ce took Zhu Sheng back to the mansion, entered the conference hall, took out Zhou Yu's letter from his arms and read it. After reading it, he couldn't help frowning, and handed it to Zhu Sheng without saying a word: "The military advisor looks at Gong Jin's letter and tells me your opinion!" (To be continued......)
