Chapter 184 Hu Cheer
"Then let's go." Qiao Gong nodded. Pang Tong and he are good friends. Although he is dissatisfied with Liu Qi, he will not give Pang Tong a face. This time, Pang Tong came to Xiangyang to help him a lot. He can't let Pang Tong wait outside like this.
Seeing Mr. Qiao's consent, Big Qiao and Little Qiao looked happy and hurriedly pulled Mr. Qiao out of the door, afraid that he would regret it. Liu Qi smiled and pulled Xin Xianying behind her. Liu Qi looked at Xin Xianying gratefully and nodded to her. Xin Xianying smiled and followed Liu Qi out.
The group soon came outside the door of the house. Pang De just talking to Pang Tong next to the door. When they saw Liu Qi and others come out, they hurried over.
"Ha ha, where is Mr. Qiao going? I've been staying alone in the house all day, and there is no one to talk to. Why did Mr. Qiao leave as soon as he came? Lord Pang De came forward.
"Pang Degong joked. How can so many disciples in your house feel lonely? I can't stay here even if I see my daughter today. I'll come to see Pound in two days." Naturally, Duke Qiao would not think that what Pang Degong said was true. He and Pang Degong were not very familiar with each other. It was really unreasonable to live here after seeing his daughter.
"The eldest son has sent my nephew away, but it is also his blessing that he can follow the eldest son. I hope that he will not cause trouble to the eldest son in the future." Pang Degong said with a smile. Pang Tong is the best person in his Ponzi family. Although he is very optimistic about Liu Qi, he is still a little reluctant.
"Pang Lao joked. It's my blessing to get the help of Shiyuan. How can Shiyuan cause me trouble if he is so talented?" Liu Qi arched his hand.
After several people talked for a while, Liu Qi asked Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao to get on the first carriage, that is, the one Liu Qi took when he came, and Liu Qi and Xin Xianying got on the second carriage. The last carriage was Pang Tong's carriage. Pang Tong took a lot of things when he went out this time, so he prepared a carriage.
In the spacious carriage, Duke Qiao looked at his two flowers and jade-like daughters and sighed, "Are you really willing to marry Liu Qi?"
It was difficult for him to ask when Xin Xianying was present just now. At this time, there were only father and three children. Qiao Gong asked directly. Although there are many advantages for the two daughters marrying Liu Qi, if the two daughters do not want to, he will leave with the two daughters.
"The eldest son is very good with me and my sister, and he will never force us." Big Qiao heard what Mr. Qiao meant and said with a red face. Even Xiao Qiao, who had been looking for Liu Qi, nodded to Mr. Qiao.
"Well, it's my fault this time. If I hadn't agreed to Sun Ce's request, I wouldn't have been so subject to others." Qiao Gong sighed that although Da Qiao Xiao Qiao came from the Jiangdong clan, after all, he was snatched back by Liu Qi, which was much weaker than Xin Xianying.
"I don't object to you marry him, but you should pay more attention to Xin Xianying. This woman is extraordinary and takes care of the overall situation. It is very easy to please Liu Qi. Don't be evil with her. Of course, don't be afraid. If she dares to embarrass your sisters, just tell her father. Qiao Gong looked at the two women.
As Liu Qi's wife, she came to run for the marriage of Liu Qi and his daughter in person. Such a woman is either scheming or broad-minded and understands Liu Qi's intentions. No matter what the situation is, it is his daughter who directly fights with her and suffers losses. If this makes Liu Qi disgusted, his two daughters will suffer.
"Father, don't worry, my sister and I know how to do it." Da Qiao nodded and said that he naturally knew what Qiao Gong meant. When he left Lujiang County for Wu County, his father told them about the stakes.
....................................................................
Outside Wancheng, more than a dozen people stood under the city. Ma Liang was dressed in Confucian clothes and looked at the towering city of Wancheng. Before coming to Wancheng, Liu Qi and Xu Shu explained the importance of this trip. For Liu Qi in Wancheng, it means that he must get it. Even if he can't deal with Jia Xu this time, Liu Qi will ask Liu Biao to send troops to take back in person.
Wancheng is one of the big cities between Liu Biao and Cao Cao's forces. Now the other cities have been occupied by Cao Cao, and there is only one Wancheng left. If Zhang Xiu really defected to Cao Cao, Cao Cao can come to Xiangyang City at any time. Although there is a navy in the middle that can stop it, it is difficult to achieve results.
"Come on, go and let me go." Ma Liang sat on the horse and said to the humane beside him.
"No." As soon as Ma Liang's words fell, a soldier rushed to the gate.
More than a dozen soldiers brought by Ma Liang this time are all members of Feihuwei, so as soon as they approached Wancheng, the people in the city closed the gate and were heavily guarded. Although Zhang Xiu is attached to Liu Biao, she does not really obey Liu Biao, so she is also on guard against Liu Biao at any time.
"The envoy of Jingzhou, ordered by General Zhennan, came to discuss important matters with Xuanwei Marquis. Go and communicate quickly." The flying tiger guard came under the wall and shouted on the wall.
"Jingzhou Messenger?" One person said in surprise.
Several young generals above the city wall supported these two people. One of them was in armor in his thirties. At this time, he was frowning and looking at Ma Liang and his party under the city, while the other was a middle-aged man of forty-five or sixteen years old. The middle-aged man looked quite elegant in Confucian clothes, but he had a calm temperament, even if When I heard the shouting of the flying tiger guard under the city, I didn't move at all.
"Wenhe, what do you think?"
The man in armor was Zhang Xiu, Marquis Xuanwei. When he heard his subordinate's report, he immediately came to check it. When he heard the report of the flying tiger guard, he looked at the middle-aged man beside him, Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe. Although Zhang Xiu looked down on the literati, he respected the people beside him very much. Cao Cao sent troops to attack many times, but he made a plan for Cao Cao to return this time.
At this time, when he saw the most elite Flying Tiger Guard in Jingzhou, Zhang Xiu couldn't make up his mind for a while. He was really afraid that Liu Biao would cheat the city gate in the name of the messenger.
"Lord, don't worry, there are no Jingzhou soldiers and horses near Wancheng. These people are indeed messengers of Liu Jingzhou. Lord might as well meet." Jia Xu looked at the group of people in the city and said with an eight-character beard at the corners of his mouth.
"See you then." Seeing that Jia Xu agreed, Zhang Xiu turned his head and said to the young general beside him, "Open the gate and welcome them to the house."
"No." The young general immediately shouted to the side, "Open the gate." With that, he took more than ten people down the city wall.
"Wenhe, let's go home first." Zhang Xiu turned around and also went down the wall.
The suspension bridge was put down, the gate opened, and more than a dozen people rushed out of the city and came to Ma Liang and his party.
"The last general Hu Che'er came to meet the messenger on the order of my lord."
He is Hu Cheer, the most powerful general under Zhang Xiu's command. When Zhang Xiu betrayed Cao Cao, it was he who drunk Cao Cao's general Dian Wei and took away his double halberd, so Zhang Xiu spoiled him very much.
"It turned out to be General Hu Cheer. He was ordered by Liu Jingzhou to come to visit Xuan Weihou. Please lead the way." Ma Liang urged him to arch his hand to Hu Cheer immediately.
"The messenger comes with me." Hu Che'er said.
Although Hu Cheer talked to Ma Liang from time to time along the way, he was always absent-minded and his eyes drifted to the Flying Tiger Guard behind Ma Liang from time to time. Flying Tiger Guard is the most elite soldier in Jingzhou. Naturally, he has heard of it, but what he cares about is the armor and weapons of the Flying Tiger Guard. Zhang Xiu is attached to Liu Biao, under the fence, food and grass. It is mostly provided by Liu Biao, so he is not rich. Although Hu Cheer was favored by Zhang Xiu, the armor on his body was not good. At this time, when he saw the armor of the Flying Tiger Guard, he naturally had to look at it twice.
Ma Liang, who was beside him, put Hu Cheer's movements in his eyes, and there was a smile in his eyes and said, "If the general likes these armors, I will give a set to Vice General Wang of Feihuwei in Xiangyang in the future."
"Good...really?" Hu Cheer was absent-minded, but after hearing Ma Liang's words, he looked at Ma Liang with burning eyes. The general's favorite was horses, armor and weapons. He naturally liked the armor of the Flying Tiger Guard.
"Of course it's true. Vice Commander Wang and I have some friendship. It should be a piece of armor, but this armor is very expensive. I think I promised the general for the sake of the general's arrival today. How about a set of fifty gold? Ma Liang whispered to Hu Cheer.
"This..." Hu Cheer looked at Ma Liang in surprise. The flying tiger guard armor was so good that even 500 gold could not be bought. Ma Liang sold it so cheaply to him that he couldn't believe it. Isn't it said that the people in Jingzhou are very rich? Since the person in front of him is Liu Biao's messenger who wants to have an official position, does he still need to sell his armor to make money?
"The general misunderstood. The armor I mentioned was retreated by the Flying Tiger Guard. Although some places are damaged, it is definitely a boutique. If the general wants me, I can also find a new one. Although it has been a little longer, it may be a little different from the armor you saw, but it is definitely the armor of the Flying Tiger Guard, but this The price?" Ma Liang replied with a smile.
"Retired?" Hu Cheer's eyes flashed, and the armor was too attractive to him. Hu Cheer said fiercely in his heart, "How much money do you need for the new one?"
Naturally, he knew that the armor Ma Liang said was the remaining armor of the Flying Tiger Guard in the past. Although it is not as good as the current one, it is definitely a boutique.
"Three hundred gold." Ma Liang stretched out three fingers and shook in front of Hu Cheer.
"Okay, I agreed. We will discuss this matter after the messenger sees the Lord." Hu Cheer said without hesitation. Although he agreed to Ma Liang, he would not trust Ma Liang at once. Let's take a look.
"Then I will wait for the general." Ma was overjoyed in his conscience. The task of his trip is not simple. Naturally, he is well aware of the people under Zhang Xiu. He knows that Hu Cheer is the general of Zhang Xiu. If he can persuade Zhang Xiu, the opportunity will be greater.
"I don't know that it was Xuan Weihou on the tower just now?" Ma Liang thought of the two people above the gate and asked.
"Yes, it's my lord." Hu Cheer is a little close to Ma Liang.
"What about the other person?" Ma Liang looked at Hu Che'er.
"That's Jia Junshi, and he is very good at it." Hu Cheer also had some respect for Jia Xu and said with admiration.
