Self-preservation is more than enough, and it is difficult to forge ahead.

"Brother." Sun Quan sighed at the dark wall: "It's really difficult to rely on military generals and control Wenchen, can I really only be a king of success?" Is it destined not to dominate the world? ”

………… In a quiet courtyard, Qiao Wushuang was peeling peanuts for his young son Sun Shao to eat, the small basket made of fine baskets was full of two flowers, with uniform color, Qiao Wushuang had just fed Sun Shao a peanut, and a girl in red walked in with a sword, and stomped in front of Qiao Wushuang.

"Xiang'er, what made you lose your temper so much?"

The person who came was Sun Jian's youngest daughter Sun Shangxiang, about ten years old, wearing a red dress on her body, looking fresh and beating in her immaturity, her pink face was full of anger, she slapped her sword on the stone table, and said angrily: "I'm so angry, sister-in-law, those civil officials are too hateful, Liu Zhang is the culprit who killed the eldest brother, and today I wrote a letter to insult the eldest brother, Zhou Yu's eldest brother said that he was going to fight, and those civil officials actually obstructed it, what ...... say"

"Click."

A series of short cracking sounds came, Sun Shangxiang was originally facing away from Qiao Wushuang, but then turned his head strangely, looked at Qiao Wushuang and said, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?" ”

Qiao Wushuang smiled casually: "Actually, it's nothing, they are all thinking about the overall situation of Jiangdong, and Xiang'er, it's not convenient for me to discuss military affairs here, don't say these things to me in the future." ”

"Hmph, I'm just angry, when I grow up, I must be a female general and dismantle Liu Zhang." Sun Shangxiang said fiercely.

Qiao Wushuang smiled, the slender hand in the bamboo basket slowly loosened, more than a dozen peanuts were pinched and crushed, and the peanuts with yellow skin flowed out, and Qiao Wushuang fed the peanuts to Sun Shao.

"It's these civil servants again." A trace of hatred flashed in Qiao Wushuang's eyes, although Sun Ce didn't finish what he said to himself, but after a long time, Qiao Wushuang also understood what his husband meant, and the reason why he didn't finish it to himself was because he didn't want to ruin the Jiangdong foundation he had built single-handedly.

Qiao Wushuang hates those civil officials who only know how to protect themselves, but what can she do as a weak woman, not to mention that her husband is dead, if she holds on to the matter of Wangjianglou and succeeds, she will let Jiangdong split, and the foundation laid by Sun Ce will be destroyed in one fell swoop, and if she fails, not only will her own life be lost, but she will also harm her young son Sun Shao.

The only thing Qiao Wushuang could do was to swallow the hatred in his stomach, take Sun Shao to live in a simple house, and take revenge, which was something he didn't dare to think about.

………… On the shore of the Han River, four people stood, one was eight feet long, with a leopard's head and eyes, a swallow's jaw and a tiger's whiskers, and a snake spear and pestle standing on the ground to the sky.

A body is nine feet long, the face is like a heavy jujube, the lips are greased, the red phoenix eyes, the silkworm eyebrows, and most especially the long hair, it can be seen that it is carefully taken care of on weekdays, two feet long, the shape is uniform, the big man is stroking his beard, there is a terrifying spirit.

A wide-backed long knife, with a black lacquered handle, the blade is against the blue light, drinking blood countless times, making the blade appear blue-black with dirty blood precipitation, and the black dragon pattern looms on the blade, and the big Han pestle knife stands, majestic.

Compared with the evil spirit and temperament of the first two, the third person has seven more points of righteousness, as if the word justice is engraved in the hall, the face is white, the facial features are handsome, and the figure is heroic.

The last one was born peculiarly, a pair of Miller's long ears almost up to his shoulders, two pairs of obviously long-looking bracelets in front of his abdomen, nearly eight feet tall, with an elongated face and a crying face.

In short, the biggest characteristic of this person is that he is a word, long.

These four people escaped from Yuan Shao, and met the three brothers Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, who went south in the ancient city, and Zhao Yun, the general of Changshan, and the four of them originally planned to come to Jingzhou Liu Biao, but they didn't expect that before they reached the edge of the Han River, Jingzhou was conquered by Liu Zhang, and the four of them could only look at the water and sigh.

"Liu Zhang's speed is so fast, I originally wanted to come to help Brother Jingsheng, but I didn't expect Brother Jingsheng to die so quickly, it's painful." Liu Bei sighed at the river.

"If you want me to say, we will kill Hanshui now, and I promise to stab Liu Zhang's 10,000 transparent holes, isn't this Jingzhou my brother's?" Zhang Fei suggested loudly, the sound was like a bell, and the momentum was like thunder.

"Third brother, don't joke, now that Liu Zhang's army is flourishing, we are outnumbered, and it is not the time to fight him." Guan Yu looked at the green mountains in the distance and said awe-inspiringly.

"Hey, hey, I'll just say, hey, hey, hey." Zhang Fei smiled innocently.

"My lord." Zhao Yun bowed his hand to Liu Bei and said in a deep voice: "Now that Liu Biao is gone, there is Cao Thief behind us, and we can't stay here for a long time." Since Liu Zhang and Liu Biao are both relatives of the Han family, the last general suggested that we might as well live under Liu Zhang's account first, Liu Zhang and the lord are both descendants of the royal family, and they must be taken in, and then they will be destroyed together. ”

"Ugh." Liu Bei looked at the surging Han water for a long time, sighed deeply, and said with some sadness: "Zilong, why don't I want to vote for Liu Zhang, but although this person is a royal bloodline, his blood is contaminated with ferocity, Jiangzhou, Hanzhong, and Wuling can be seen, this time Xiangyang actually killed 60,000 people, these people are the pillars of my Han Dynasty." ”

"I, Liu Bei, do the world with benevolence and righteousness, and I Liu Bei swear not to vote for such a murderous person." Liu Bei looked at the vast Han River and the wilderness, and said in a deep voice Liu Zhang pacified Zhao Wei so quickly, went down to Hanzhong, and took Jingzhou, when he has the ambition of the world, and has always been ruthless, he also has the wisdom of the law, the courage of Huang Zhong who killed Tai Shici, and those unscrupulous people in Jingyi Erzhou have all become the souls of the Sichuan saber.

Such a person, Liu Bei doesn't think that he will be as easy to fool as Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao, Kong Rong, Tao Qian, Lu Bu, and Liu Biao, and it is a hundred times more dangerous than Cao Cao.

"Is the sky going to kill me, Liu Bei here?" Liu Bei sighed to the sky, infinitely sad.

At this moment, an old gentleman sat on a donkey, walking on the grass from the direction of the setting sun, dressed in white, elegant like a fairy.

"Uncle Grand, when the Han family is in danger in the autumn, when the three-foot sword is used to disrupt the world, why is it a pity to sit in the Han water, a pity, a pity."

The old gentleman looked into the distance, as if he hadn't spoken to Liu Bei, shook his head, sat on a donkey, walked past Liu Bei and the others, and headed east.

"Sir, stay here." Liu Bei stopped the old gentleman, but the old gentleman stopped and did not look back.

Liu Bei stepped forward and bowed: "May I ask the gentleman's name." ”

The old gentleman laughed: "Old and nameless, alias Water Mirror." ”

Liu Bei bowed again: "It turned out to be Mr. Shuijing, I have been looking up for a long time, listening to what Mr. just said, it seems that I have a lesson in preparation, I don't know if I can cook tea and talk about it, I am very honored." ”

"Haha, the old and idle clouds and wild cranes, traveling all over the world, not asking about the affairs of the world, suddenly rose today, watching the light of the sunset to the far east land, chasing the light with a donkey. The sunset doesn't sink, and the donkey's hooves don't stop. ”

"Mr. Yaxing."

"Haha, Uncle Huang forbears, Uncle Huang's matter, the old man really can't do anything, but the word Old Man sent Uncle Huang may be useful to Uncle Huang."

"Sir, please."

"Northwest."

"Northwest?" Liu Bei was puzzled.

"The light of the sunset in the west can shine on the far reaches of the east, if Uncle Huang wants to realize his great ambition, he should ask the people in the northwest, haha, if you delay for too long, you will be old."

Sima Hui patted the donkey, the donkey screamed "Uh-ang", and continued to walk towards the east, Sima Hui sang to the eastern sky: "Wolong has entered and exited Nanxiang, buried in the countryside to cover the edge, the eight directions gather the real dragon out, the real dragon Wolong shook the eight wilderness, hahahaha." ”

Liu Bei watched Sima Hui laugh and walked away, muttering the words left by Sima Hui: "Wolong has entered and exited Nanxiang, buried in the countryside to cover the edge, gathered the true dragon from all directions, and the real dragon Wolong shook the eight wilderness...... Sure enough, it is Jingxiang Gaoshi, with a magnificent bearing, but unfortunately this speech is too profound, I don't know what it means. ”

Zhao Yunyi groaned: "Lord, the last general has seen the map, on the bank of Danshui not far from here, there is a small city called Nanxiang, Nanxiang is just in the northwest, is that old gentleman like this?" ”

"Who is so angry, dare to call himself Wolong, if he is really a dragon, why stay in that small place in Nanxiang, this dragon flies for nine days, doesn't he come out to wander around?" Zhang Fei said loudly.

"The third brother's words are not accurate, the old gentleman said, the real dragon Wolong shook the Eight Desolations, if there is really a Wolong, isn't our brother a real dragon?" Guan Yu said.

"Hehe, yes, hehe." Zhang Feihan smiled.

"You two are talking nonsense, no matter what, let's go to Nanxiang first." Liu Bei reprimanded Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, turned to leave, Zhao Yun followed, and the four of them walked in the direction of the setting sun with a small group of soldiers and horses.

………… In the southern suburbs of Xiangyang, the demolition of tents for disaster relief is being organized here, and Liu Zhang brought his own soldiers to inspect.

Now the victims have basically been resettled, and all the houses of the family members in the past have been temporarily leased to the victims of the disaster, and they will be repaid without interest in taxes in the future.

In the southern suburbs, many young victims volunteered to stay and dismantle their tents, and a young man in charge of dismantling the tents reported to the public: "Lord, the victims of the disaster have requested that a temple be built here to commemorate this disaster and to permanently thank the Lord for his kindness." ”

"There is no need to build a temple, funds and manpower are tight, let's erect a monument."

"Yes."

Liu Zhang took his soldiers along the road between the tents, and every time he passed a tent that had not been demolished, he lifted the curtain to take a look inside, and at this time several fast horses came over, and Huang Yueying jumped off the war horse, and his posture was more vigorous than that of a general.

"My lord."

"How's going on in Koto?" Liu Zhang leaned into a tent again, which was empty, and shrank back with some disappointment.

Huang Yueying said: "There is no movement in Jiangdong, but Zhou Yu has rushed to Chaisang, and is stepping up the construction of Baling Baqiu Port, and the fortifications that Chaisang was demolished by the lord are also being restored and expanded. ”

Liu Zhang sighed: "It seems that Zhou Yu and Lu Su are really not as simple as I thought, if so, the threat of Jiangdong will always exist, which is very worrying." ”

Huang Yueying said: "That's true, my subordinates feel that Jiangdong is waiting for the opportunity, waiting for our Jingzhou to have a flaw, and then a fatal blow, although Jiangdong has changed hands, but the foundation laid by the Sun family for two generations has won the heart of the Jiangdong family, and it is not possible for the time being."

His subordinates suggested that the lord immediately stop the army to rest, calm the people's hearts, and wait for him to be strong and strong, and the Northern Expedition to the East would be at ease. ”

"Strike and rest?" Liu Zhang repeated, his face was a little solemn, and at this moment, a burst of piano sound came, Liu Zhang's face flashed with joy, and he walked slowly in the direction of the piano sound.

There were a lot of people around a tent, there were refugees and soldiers standing guard, Liu Zhang coughed twice, those soldiers were startled, hurriedly returned to their posts, and the refugees also reluctantly retreated a few steps in reluctance.

Liu Zhang lifted the curtain and walked in, Qu Lingchen stroked the strings in the corner of the tent, the graceful sound of the piano came from the winding beam qin, the sound was beautiful, intoxicating, Liu Zhang sat behind the desk, quietly listening to the sound of the piano, Huang Yueying and Hao Li stood on both sides.

The biggest feature of the sound of the piano around the beam is that it can more easily arouse the listener's thoughts, making people indulge in their own emotions, unable to extricate themselves, Qu Lingchen moves the strings, the whole big tent, and even within ten steps around the big tent, there is silence, and even the people passing by deliberately take a light step.

"I really don't know what's good to hear, it's better to pick up big dung for fun." It's so powerful that he muttered, I'm afraid he was the only one who didn't listen, shaking his head, I don't know what to say.

Huang Yueying frowned slightly, the master Nanhua Ziqin and chess calligraphy and painting are proficient, although Huang Yueying majored in machinery, but there is also a very high level in other aspects, Huang Yueying clearly heard the people on the other side of the music played by Qu Lingchen, and the five tones were wrong before and after.

Huang Yueying could hear that Qu Lingchen was a person who was very good at stroking the piano, with Qu Lingchen's piano skills, how could he play a small piano tune on the other side of the wrong five tones, and then look at Qu Lingchen's beautiful forehead wrinkled slightly, like a deep pool, hiding countless thoughts, driven by the rhythm of the fluctuating piano sound, and like a battlefield, in a fierce struggle.

Huang Yueying was slightly strange.

Qu Lingchen played the tune, closed his eyes, and occasionally opened them, and what he saw was a little metal bulge under the Liangqin, which was a sword, a sword brought in by Wu Juntuo.

Liang Qinyin always tries to settle his thoughts, and falls into a beautiful picture, closing his eyes, the endless lake, the blooming peach blossoms, the verdant bamboo house, and the high-spirited teenager...... And reality always woke her up, and when she opened her eyes, it was the metallic blackness of the hilt.

"It's just today, I really don't want to suffer anymore." Qu Lingchen thought about it, he didn't want to think about any family feuds, he didn't think about Guiyang, he didn't think about Yun Mengze, and he didn't think about loving the people.

didn't think about anything, Qu Lingchen tried to put aside other thoughts, and slowly, Qu Lingchen had only one thought, kill the person in front of him, and everything was over, and he was freed.

This man has been tormenting his heart for too long.

Now his personal soldiers are at the door, and they are intoxicated by the sound of the piano, only one personal guard and a weak woman are standing beside him, that personal guard, who has fought in the woods last time, has infinite strength, but there are not many moves, as long as he avoids it, one move can take Liu Zhang's life.

God-given opportunity, Liu Zhang will definitely die.

Qu Lingchen has a 100% grasp of such an opportunity, and the only thing he struggles with is whether he should stab this sword.

The refugees have been resettled, and he should have no scruples, even if he loves the people, but he can't erase his revenge for killing dozens of members of my Qu family.

Qu Lingchen thought about it, gritted his teeth, and finally made up his mind.

"Huh."

The sound of the piano around the Liang Qin seemed to be still hovering in the ears, and a cold light pulled out from under the Liang Qin and stabbed at Liu Zhang, who was listening to the piano, and those pro-soldiers were still at the door, dyed by the sound of the Liang Liang, and they didn't react for a while.

"Wow." I didn't expect Qu Lingchen to suddenly assassinate Liu Zhang, he was stunned for a moment, but he was not infected by the sound of the piano at all, and in a hurry, he lifted a sledgehammer and smashed it at Qu Lingchen.

But it was too late, Qu Lingchen's sword had already arrived in front of Liu Zhang, so powerful a sledgehammer was handed over, but it did not block the sword, the sledgehammer had just fallen into the space in front of Liu Zhang's neck, and the tip of Qu Lingchen's sword had already touched Liu Zhang's cloth.

And at this moment, Qu Lingchen's sword suddenly stopped, and he could no longer advance for half a minute.

Everyone looked at each other, they were all stunned, only to see Huang Yueying stepping forward at some point, standing beside Qu Lingchen, her fingers clasping Qu Lingchen's wrist, just this one action, Qu Lingchen could no longer pierce it.

"I said how could you play the wrong five tones, if you don't want to die, put down your sword." Huang Yueying said lightly, the wrist is a lifeline of the human body, seeing that Qu Lingchen did not move, five fingers and one buckle, Qu Lingchen involuntarily let go of the hilt of the sword.

Huang Yueying knocked on it with her other hand, the long sword flew up, took it easily, and pushed the frightened Qu Lingchen out with one palm, and the whole action was smooth and casual.

The two pro-soldiers hurriedly pressed on, and the spear was aimed at Qu Lingchen's throat.

It was so powerful to take away the sledgehammer that covered Liu Zhang's face, Liu Zhang looked at Qu Lingchen on the ground and stood up, walked in front of Qu Lingchen, looked at her coldly and said, "You really want to assassinate me, why?" ”

Qu Lingchen has many details that arouse Liu Zhang's suspicions, and Fa Zheng and Fan Lixiang have also warned that the reason why they waited until this moment was that Liu Zhang wanted to verify his rational belief, but his emotional speculation that he didn't believe it.

Unexpectedly, I still got an answer that I didn't want to get.

When facing Qu Lingchen, he always felt like his heart was moving, but at this time, the beating heart was like a dead stone.

Qu Lingchen looked at Liu Zhang, didn't speak, just a movement, reached out and took the gauze hat on his head, and a beautiful and flawless jade face appeared in front of everyone, making the surrounding soldiers stunned.

"Is that you?" Liu Zhang was surprised, that early morning in Guiyang, the woman with hatred in her eyes instantly came to mind.

Liu Zhang almost forgot.

"You're Rong'er's ......"

As soon as Liu Zhang said five words, he was interrupted by Qu Lingchen, who looked directly at Liu Zhang: "Liu Zhang, you kill me, if you kill me now, there will be no consequences." Qu Lingchen closed her eyes, she had already expected this moment.
