Chapter 475: One Step Late?
However, it was said that in Dingtao, Cao Cao was fighting with Lu Bu while looking for an opportunity to calculate Lu Bu, and on the other hand, Sima Yi had already come to Lujiang with Guo Jia's dowry.
Although Lujiang is now in the midst of war, if you want to enter Lujiang County, it is not only dangerous but also troublesome, but fortunately, Qiao Xuan's family is outside the city, so it doesn't have to be so complicated. So, Sima Yi and his entourage easily found Qiao Xuan's residence, but when Sima Yi came here, there were already soldiers here. Needless to say, it was Yuan Shu's soldiers!
Seeing this, Sima Yi was shocked, is it too late? !
Although this has nothing to do with him Sima Yi, after all, Sima Yi did not delay the trip along the way, if it is too late, it can only be that Guo Jia found him too late, and he can't push everything on Sima Yi. But even so, Sima Yi still doesn't know how to explain to Guo Jia when he goes back!
Soon, Sima Yi calmed down, because he found that the soldiers were not plundering here, but as if they were protecting it. Of course, this does not mean that the Qiao family will be fine. It's hard to guarantee that this place hasn't been swept over by Yuan Shu's soldiers, that is to say, maybe the owner inside has changed temporarily!
Although it is likely to be dangerous to go here, since he has already arrived here, it is impossible for Sima Yi to retreat directly. If you can't overcome this difficulty, then you can just go home and collect the rent.
So, Sima Yi walked out firmly.
"Who?!" When the soldiers found Sima Yi, they immediately shouted.
"Sima Yi in Lower Hanoi, traveled here. I came to meet the old man of Qiao Xuanqiao. Sima Yi replied politely, Sima Yi is not Cao Cao's person now. The second is not Guo Jia's person, especially an unknown person. As long as he doesn't say it himself, he will definitely not let people contact Cao Cao. Yuan Shu has an enmity with Cao Cao, and of course Sima Yi should be cautious in this regard.
Seeing that Sima Yi only brought a few entourages, it was impossible for him to have the ability to do evil, and he was a member of the Sima clan of the Hebei clan, so these soldiers under him naturally would not come at will.
However, it is still directly driven away,
"If it's nothing serious, you'd better hurry up, it's a mess here."
Sima Yi's eyes lit up when he heard this. The soldier's answer means that the Qiao Xuan family is still living here, so what is the purpose of Yuan Shu's soldiers appearing here? Are they protecting the Qiao Xuan family? Or is it under house arrest for the Qiao Xuan family? Could it be that Yuan Shu has heard of Qiao Xuan's name for a long time and wants to recruit Qiao Xuan back to be his advisor?
No matter what the situation is, Sima Yi believes that as long as he enters, he will definitely be able to know clearly. So Sima Yi clenched his fists and said,
"Please also let me know, Elder Qiao will definitely meet me when he hears it."
The soldier glanced at Sima Yi suspiciously. After thinking about it, he finally nodded,
"Oh well. You're here to keep watching! ”
Sima Yi's eyebrows moved, looking at it like this. It shouldn't be house arrest anymore.
As for why Sima Yi was sure that Qiao Xuan would definitely meet him? Nonsense, when ordinary people hear this kind of thing, they must be curious to see it. Unless it's the kind of person who is very busy. Full of friends, all kinds of important guests. Then I guess I won't pay attention to this kind of tricky idler. But now, Hashigen lives in seclusion here. The unofficial is light, and now there are many people, except for him Sima Yi, there are no guests at all. So how can Qiao Xuan not see the reason?
Sure enough, Sima Yi was quickly led in.
"The junior Sima Yi visited the old man." Sima Yi is still as polite as ever.
"Your father is Sima Fang?" Qiao Xuan asked, when Sima Yi introduced himself before, he said that he was from Hanoi, and Qiao Xuan naturally easily thought of some characters based on this.
"It's my father!" Sima Yi replied.
"Personable, if it's really famous, take a seat." Qiao Xuan greeted.
After taking a seat and serving tea, Qiao Xuan asked,
"I don't know why Xiaoyou came here deliberately?"
If, as Sima Yi said outside, he happened to travel here, so he came to visit, then he would not say that he would inevitably meet such a thing. If Sima Fang is good friends with Qiao Xuan, then Sima Yi's behavior is understandable. But in fact, Sima Yi and Qiao Xuan have nothing to do with each other at all, if ordinary people have nothing to do, they will see the soldiers at the door, and insist that they will find an excuse to come in? Therefore, Qiao Xuancai decided that Sima Yi must have something to do!
"Qiao Lao Mingjian, you should understand after reading this letter." Sima Yi presented Guo Jia's greeting post, and now it is certain that Qiao Xuan is free, so Sima Yi did not hide anything.
Qiao Xuan took it with a little doubt, and immediately said with great joy,
"Haha! You've come just in time! I'm still anxious about this. ”
"Oh?" Sima Yi wondered for a while, could it be that Qiao Xuan still wanted to marry his daughter off immediately? Not to mention that this is not reasonable at all, even if Qiao Xuan really thinks about it like this, then he shouldn't say it directly. It's as if his daughter can't get married.
"Your Excellency doesn't know." Qiao Xuan immediately explained to Sima Yi, "You should have seen the soldiers outside now." ”
"That's right, the juniors are wondering." Sima Yi nodded.
"That's the general sent by Yuan Shu to attack Lujiang now, and Sun Ce, the son of Sun Jian, the Jiangdong Tiger, stayed here. Not long ago, this Sun Bofu, hearing the good name of my little girl, also came here in person to ask for marriage. Qiao Xuan said.
"What?!" Sima Yi's face changed, and he screamed in surprise, remembering that Guo Jia asked him to pay attention to Sun Ce at that time, is this a crow's mouth?
"Don't worry, Bo Fu is a reasonable and polite young man. According to him, when he was in Jiangdu, he treated Fengxiao as his own eldest brother. So now it is naturally impossible to snatch the goal of filial piety, Bo Fu is here to ask my other daughter for marriage. Qiao Xuan explained.
Sima Yi's eyelids jumped slightly, and he looked relieved on the surface,
"I see, it couldn't be better."
"Haha! If it weren't for that, I wouldn't be able to laugh now, old man. Although my two daughters were born to be exiled, I am relieved to be fortunate to be able to marry such two young talents. Qiao Xuan touched his beard and smiled.
It's a pity that Sima Yi couldn't laugh at this time. It's not easy, although it hasn't encountered the worst yet, but it's actually about the worst. If he only takes one back, then he Sima Yi can't be regarded as having completed the test!
"Then, Qiao Lao said before that I came just in time, and you are in a hurry about this matter, what does that mean?" Sima Yi asked suddenly, maybe he could find some breakthroughs in it.
"Oh, yes. Although Feng Xiao made a verbal agreement with me at the beginning, because of some small accidents, I was a little unclear which daughter Feng Xiao would eventually propose. And if you can't get a letter from Feng Xiao, Bo Fu can't make a decision, so I've been anxious about this matter. Now that you're here, it's all clear. Qiao Xuan said. (To be continued......)
