Chapter 96 Big Joe, please
The mountain rain was about to come, but Liu Qi didn't know it at this time. After a night's rush, Liu Qi and others finally drove dozens of miles. There was no official road, only these paths that could only accommodate a carriage. In addition, the speed of these women Liu Qi and others naturally slowed down.
At this time, Liu Qi and others are resting in an open place. These soldiers have not had a good rest for several days, and Big Qiao and Xiao Qiao are even more tired after waiting for a night.
Perhaps because it was close to Jiangdong, there were few people here. After driving all night, I didn't meet a village. In the early morning, Liu Qi, 800 people, were close to the road and there was no passer-by.
In the tent surrounded by many tents, Liu Qi, Wang Yi and Gan Ning are looking at the map to discuss how to go next.
He was not too familiar with Jiangxia and Liu Qi, so he did not speak, but listened carefully to the analysis of Wang Yi and Gan Ning.
Wang Yi pointed to the map and said, "The governor of Jiangxia is Huang Zu. This man is one of the few veteran generals under General Zhennan. In his early years, he led his subordinates to kill Sun Jianshen, who was valued by General Zhennan. He has been the governor of Jiangxia for nearly ten years. Huangzu was born in Jingzhou and is also one of the famous families in Jingzhou. The Huang family and the Cai family also have a marriage, and I'm afraid they have some resistance to the eldest son.
He looked up at Liu Qi and saw that Liu Qi was not talking. Wang Yi continued to say, "In the past two years, Huang Zu has become more and more greedy. He was unscrupulous in Jiangxia's expedition. He was extremely slack in armaments. Jiang Xia's defenders were even more tired and lazy. His subordinates had complained about him that even General Zhennan was a little dissatisfied with him, but In terms of the previous merits, there is no investigation.
Liu Qi nodded. He also knew something about Huang Zu's character. This person was not only greedy for money, but also had no humanity to beat and scold his subordinates in Jiangxia. In history, Gan Ning went to Huang Zu. Huang Zu actually treated Gan Ning like a beast, and later he was killed by Gan Ning.
Gan Ning also pointed to the map and said, "This Huang Zu and the master have no friendship. If they go to Jiangxia, I'm afraid they will only be neglected. It's better to directly cross Jiangxia Road and return to Xiangyang through Nanjun." Returning to Jingzhou, Gan Ning and others called Lord Liu Qi again.
Liu Qi nodded. The relationship between Huang Zu from Huang and Cai is even more deeply rooted. I'm afraid it is difficult for him to be dissatisfied. He doesn't need to look at other people's faces. It's better to go straight through Jiangxia and back to Xiangyang. Crossing Jiangxia is Nanjun. I heard that the Flying Dragon Army went to see it in front of Nanjun. Thinking of this, Liu Qi said, "Since this is the direct passage through Jiangxia to Nanjun, I also want to meet the Flying Dragon Army, which is as famous as the Flying Tiger Army."
Wang Yi smiled and did not say anything. It is no secret that the Flying Tiger Army and the Flying Dragon Army compete with each other, but this competition was not put on the table. What's more, their safe return to Jiangdong this time is enough to be proud of the Flying Dragon Army.
Of course, Gan Ning will not object to Liu Qi, but they have already left Jiangdong and no one in Changsha knows that he thinks he should send someone to talk. Gan Ning looked at Liu Qi and said, "Should the lord send someone to Changsha to inform the military division when he is out of Jiangdong now?"
Liu Qi didn't say anything when he heard Gan Ning's words. When he returned to Jingzhou, he seemed to inform Changsha of his news, but he felt that there were many things to do in the dark, and he didn't have to worry about what he did before. But if you don't inform Changsha, I'm afraid Changsha is already in a mess. After thinking about it, Liu Qi said, "You send someone to Changsha to tell the military division that we will return safely to Jingzhou, and ask him not to leak it out for the time being."
Gan Ning nodded. Although Liu Qi didn't say anything, he also guessed Liu Qi's intention.
"To the lord, someone wants to see you." The voice of a soldier came in.
Liu Qi was a little puzzled that the soldiers outside did not say who was asking for a meeting. He asked, "Who is asking for a meeting?"
A woman's voice came in: "General, I came to see you at the order of my young lady."
Hearing the maid's words, Liu Qi already knew that it was Da Qiao who asked her to come. Xiao Qiao was weak and everything obeyed Da Qiao's arrangement. Liu Qi said, "Come in."
A maid opened the curtain and came in. Liu Qi knew that the maid of the eldest daughter Qiao asked, "What's the matter with your lady asking you to come here?"
The maid saluted Liu Qi and said, "My lady, please invite the general."
Liu Qi nodded to signal Gan Ning to prepare and get up to Da Qiao's tent. Da Qiao Xiao Qiao's tent was next to Liu Qi's tent, and it was not long before it arrived. Liu Qi stood outside the tent and waited, and the maid went to report.
After a while, the maid came out and said, "My lady, please invite the general in." After saying that, he raised the curtain and let Liu Qi enter.
Liu Qi lowered his head and entered the big account. He saw Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao sitting there, obviously waiting for him. Seeing Liu Qi come in, the two women got up and saluted and said, "Mr. Da Gong, please sit down."
Liu Qi also sat down opposite Da Qiao and looked up at the two women. This was the first time that Liu Qi looked at the two women at close range, and she couldn't help but be a little stunned. The skin is like gel, and the jade is as beautiful as water.
Liu Qi looked straight at the two women, and the two women suddenly blushed and Xiao Qiao hurriedly lowered her head. At this time, Liu Qi reacted and coughed, "I don't know what's the matter with the two girls?"
Da Qiao was not too relieved to see Liu Qi and said, "I invited the general to come this time. I hope that the general will send someone to invite my father. If my father knows that my sister is here, I'm afraid he will be worried."
Although Da Qiao said euphemistically, Liu Qi heard her dissatisfaction. If their father knew that his daughter had been robbed by him to Jingzhou, he would not know what his reaction would be. Liu Qi looked at Da Qiao and asked, "This is a small matter, but how can the girl's father believe what he said?"
Da Qiao pulled out a brocade from his arms and handed it to Liu Qi, "This is a letter to my father. The prince only needs to hand over this letter to my father, and my father will understand."
Liu Qi secretly said that Da Qiao stretched out his hand to take over the brocade, and there was still some body temperature on the brocade. A fragrance came to his face. Liu Qi couldn't help taking a deep breath before he put away the brocade and said, "Don't worry, the two girls, I will definitely send someone to invite your father."
Da Qiao was relieved when he heard Liu Qi's words. His sisters were always uneasy without his father. If his father was there, he could help them make an idea. Besides, if Sun Ce knew that they had been robbed, he didn't know how to treat their father. Hearing Liu Qi's support, Qiao bowed slightly and said, "Then it's troublesome, General."
It's a little uncomfortable to see Da Qiao's politeness that Liu Qi is so polite. After all, it's because his two women fell into such a situation that he felt a little guilty and said, "Girl, be polite. If you have anything in the future, just ask someone to say it. I won't refuse." After saying that, he felt that the atmosphere in the account was a little awkward, and then he got up and left.
Seeing Liu Qi leave, Xiao Qiao raised his head and made a grimace at Da Qiao and said, "I thought this eldest son had no reaction to his sister's appearance? I didn't expect to be fascinated by my sister.
Big Joe raised his hand and patted Xiao Qiao on the head and said, "You."
Xiao Qiao spit out his tongue and said, "This eldest son is not as rude as Sun Ce. When he sees his sister in Jiangdong, he can still pretend to be a Jiangdong general. He can return to Jingzhou without any damage with a thousand soldiers and horses. It may be much better for his sister to marry him than to marry Sun Ce." After saying that, he said with a low expression, "Besides, we were robbed by him. Who else believes that we are innocent except him?"
Da Qiao knew that Xiao Qiao was smart and had seen through this matter for a long time. In the past two days, he was afraid that she was worried that she didn't show it. He held Xiao Qiao in his arms and said, "There will be a way." Xiao Qiao didn't say anything and prayed to Liu Qi to keep his word.
Liu Qi came out of the tent and asked Gan Ning to give him Bu Jin. He asked him to find a few people to pick up Da Qiao's father in Jiangdong. Gan Ning will naturally not slack off on this matter. In their opinion, Da Qiao Xiao Qiao is already Liu Qi's wife, so their father is naturally Liu Qi's father-in-law, and they will not neglect it.
The sun has come out and finally see pedestrians on the way. Although there are not many, it also makes Liu Qi and others relieved. It seems that they have not gone the wrong way. Liu Qi asked Gan Ning to bring someone to find someone. It didn't take long for Gan Ning to come back with one.
Liu Qi looked at the old man dressed as if he were a farmer. He arched his hand to the old man and asked, "Dare to ask the old man where this is?" How far is the nearest city?
Close to Chai Sang, there are often Jiangdong soldiers passing by and horses. When they see Liu Qi and others, they think it is Jiangdong soldiers and horses. The old man heard that Liu Qi is Jingxiang's accent and knowledgeable and said, "This is Yangxin County, and the nearest city is also Yangxin County. More than 20 miles to the west is Yangxin County."
Hearing the old man's words, Liu Qi asked, "Can Jiangdong soldiers and horses often pass by here?" Just now, the old man's vigilance was in his eyes.
The old man sighed, "It's only dozens of miles away from Chaisang. Jiangdong soldiers and horses often arrive here, and even often go to Yangxin County, just like a back garden. I'm used to it."
Liu Qi then asked, "Then did Jiang Xia Taishou never stop it?"
The old man shook his head and said, "The governor has concentrated all the soldiers and horses in Jiangxia, Xiakou, and the three cities of Nanchang don't care about other places at all. The soldiers and horses in and out of Jiangdong have never seen them come to expel."
Liu Qi was so angry that he asked Gan Ning to give him some money to leave. After the old man left, Liu Qi looked gloomy. He knew Huang Zu's slackness, but he didn't expect that Huang Zu didn't care so much about the life and death of the people of Jiangxia.
Wang Yi, Gan Ning stood aside and looked at Liu Qi carefully and asked, "Do you want to go to Jiangxia to explain?"
Liu Qi shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that Huang Zu hasn't taken me seriously, the eldest son, and he will only touch the nail if he goes. This place is close to Chai Sang, and the defense is so lax. Jiangdong will definitely arrange people here. Sooner or later, our whereabouts will be exposed and we will leave here immediately. You go and get ready to leave in half an hour.
Gan Ning and Wang Yi bowed and took the order: "No." After saying that, he took several soldiers to prepare.
