Chapter 25 Hate
Zhao Feng never expected that Xiao Qiao would make such a request to him. I'm afraid that this little girl in the south of the Yangtze River, who has always been weak, has not even killed a chicken, and now she actually proposes to him to kill. But if you think about it, she should just say that. If she really wants to kill, I'm afraid she doesn't have the courage to do this kind of white knife into the red knife. I was fascinated, but I didn't have time to talk to her for a while.
Xiao Qiao saw that Zhao Feng didn't say anything after listening to her request, and hurriedly said, "General Zhao, just ask the general to let me kill my enemies. Qiao Ying is willing to be a cow and a horse to repay the general's great kindness!" After saying that, he struggled to get out of bed and kneel down.
"You haven't recovered from your injury yet. Don't move around." Zhao Feng quickly pressed Xiao Qiao and said. Just now, she moved violently, but the wound on her shoulder was bleeding again. With a sigh, Zhao Feng said, "At present, Ma Zhong hasn't caught it yet, but the four gates of Chai Sang have been guarded. He should not have been able to escape, but hid in a quiet place in Chaisang City. When your injury is better, I hope you can help me draw some portraits of him, so that I can be wanted in the city.
"It's incumbent on Qiao Ying. My injury doesn't matter. The general will bring pen and ink, and I'll draw it." Xiao Qiao was immediately excited when he heard the words. Are you really not in the way?" Zhao Feng looked at Xiao Qiao, whose left shoulder was wrapped in a thick layer of gauze, and frowned and asked.
"You only need the right arm to write, and there is no harm to the left arm." Xiao Qiao said urgently, and then lifted the quilt and struggled to get out of bed. Seeing that she was so persistent that it was difficult to persuade her to do anything, she had to order someone to take pen, ink and paper for her to paint.
Since Cai Lun improved papermaking in the Eastern Han Dynasty, paper has begun to be mass-produced and used. However, most of the paper at this time is those rough yellow paper, which is brittle and thick, and is generally used for wrapping, posting and so on. Only some delicate and soft paper produced in the area of Jiangdong is used by these literati to write and paint. At present, Zhao Feng ordered people to take a few pieces of yellow paper and grind the ink. Xiao Qiao's pen was flying, and he drew four portraits in an instant.
"Come on, give it to Lord Lu with me, let him stick it in front of the four doors of Chai Sang, and offer a reward of 300 yuan for this person!" Zhao Feng gave several portraits to his own soldiers and asked Lu Yi to follow the picture. Ma Zhong is not familiar with the place in Chaisang. He has no place to hide and can't get out of the city. I'm afraid he will be arrested in a few days.
"Thank you, General Zhao!" Xiao Qiao reluctantly wanted to bow her hand to thank her, but the wound on her left shoulder made her grinned again.
"You'd better not move around." Zhao Feng saw that she was so excited, and his mood was really unstable for a while. He really didn't want her to leave any psychological shadow because of this. At present, he also changed the topic and said, "Why did this Ma Zhong come to trouble with you?"
Xiao Qiao's expression on his face was stagnant when he heard the words, and then he shook his head and smiled bitterly. Brother-in-law, you are stupid. This sister is so beautiful that the bastard naturally wants to rob her back to be his wife. Zhen Mi curled her lips and said.
"Little girl, if you lift him upside down, he won't have the courage." Xiao Qiao said with a wry smile.
"Is it Sun Quan?" Zhao Feng frowned and asked.
"How did the general know?" Xiao Qiao was shocked when he heard the words, which undoubtedly acquiesced to Zhao Feng's guess.
"I guess, when Gong Jin died, he asked me to be careful of who he was, but unfortunately, he died before he finished a word. Now it seems that it should be Sun Quan. Zhao Feng was half speculating and half a magic stick. Thinking of what happened, Zhao Feng couldn't help but feel a little sad.
"Gong Jin!" Xiao Qiao read the name of her dead husband, but for a moment, he burst into tears. Suddenly, she raised her head and said with hatred, "General Zhao, why do you use me to frame Gong Jin when you are in Poyang City?"
"Huh?" Zhao Feng saw that she suddenly pointed the finger at himself, and he couldn't react for a moment, but then he realized that she was emotional now, and her thinking was extremely strong. At the moment, he also sighed and said, "The soldiers are not tired of cheating. However, I didn't expect that Sun Quan would be so cruel. I thought he would only imprison Zhou Gongjin, so that we could let him work for the Lord after breaking through Jiangdong. But I didn't expect it to end like this. Not to mention Zhao Feng, Zhou Yu said clearly that even if Sun Ce had a spirit in heaven, he would not have thought that there would be such a result between his own brother and his brother.
In fact, Zhao Feng's understanding of Sun Quan mainly comes from history books. Such an understanding cannot be said to be inaccurate, but he still ignores one point, that is, when he fought in Jiangdong, Sun Quan was 18 years old. Compared with Sun Quan, who had been in Jiangdong for eight years in the battle of Chibi in history, whether it was personal strategy or leader. There is still a big gap. In this situation, in the face of foreign invaders, Sun Quan naturally has to settle down first. Under the effect of suspicion, it is also possible to kill Zhou Yu. In addition, because of Xiao Qiao, Sun Quan also vented his envy and hatred on Zhou Yu. If it were Sun Quan, who had been eight years in history, he would naturally be able to distinguish priorities and not destroy the Great Wall like this.
To make a comparison that may not be completely accurate, Sun Quan is like Emperor Chongzhen, who just succeeded to the throne in the Ming Dynasty. The same 18-year-old teenager ascended the throne. Under the same suspicion, Chongzhen also killed the general Yuan Chonghuan because of a counter-scheming. If Sun Quan could hold power for a few more years, he would not have made such a mistake. Of course, Zhao Feng didn't give him such a chance.
These thoughts flashed through Zhao Feng's mind, but Xiao Qiao sneered when he heard the words: "What the general said was really light. He knew that he was not an opponent, so he used such a despicable trick to kill Gong Jin. It's a vain time for me to say that you are a modest gentleman, but it turns out to be a despicable villain!" She is so emotional now that she really thinks of something and says something.
"You are so unreasonable. You blame others for your husband's death. If you have the ability to settle accounts with Sun Quan!" Zhen Mi was furious when she saw that Xiao Qiao was so arrogant. Forget it, Xiao Mi. You women won't understand the war. Zhao Feng sighed. Staring straight at Xiao Qiao, Zhao Feng said in a low voice, "Zhou Gongjin's life is life. Isn't the life of more than 100,000 lives of my Xuzhou army? Why do people like all sentient beings and big men favor each other? When it was the battle of Shentingling, nearly 10,000 soldiers in Xuzhou were killed. Counting his double calculations of the Jingzhou army, there were no 100,000 or 80,000 people who died in his hands. You think he is wronged, so who is not wronged? Zhao Feng is not a person with no temper. She has been angry with her these days, and now she has barely vented it.
"That's it!" Zhen Mi is now only Zhao Feng's head, and he hurriedly followed the help. Xiao Qiao was a little stunned when he heard the words. He opened his mouth and finally didn't say anything. Finally, he sat down by the bed, and tears fell again.
"Forget it, you can have a good rest and recover. I'll tell you when Ma Zhong is caught. Zhao Feng didn't want to see the woman cry. He sighed and pulled Zhen Mi away. After a few days, Xiao Qiao didn't say anything more after resting, but Diao Chan occasionally went to see her, and the two of them talked quite well.
After counting, it was getting closer and closer to the New Year. On this day, Zhao Feng was busy arranging the items needed for the New Year at home, but a soldier came to tell you, "General, Lord Lu sent the little one to tell you that the man was caught!"
"Oh? Did you catch it? Zhao Feng was also happy. Before long, Lu Yi personally led Ma Zhong to Zhao Feng's house. General Zhao, General Zhao, the little one has no grudge against you. Let the little one live!" Ma Zhonggang was taken to the door of Zhao Feng's house and immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.
"It stinks!" Zhao Feng saw that Ma Zhong was ragged all over his body, his hair was scattered, and he also emitted a stench on his body. He suddenly felt a little upset. General Zhao, this man disguised as a beggar begging for food in Chaisang City. Today, he was too hungry to grab a child's cake to eat. He didn't expect it to grab my nephew's head and was caught. Lu Yi, who followed, explained.
Shit, Zhao Feng is really going to worship Ma Zhong, who is known as the top ten giant killers of the Three Kingdoms in history. Even such a creative thing as robbing children's pancakes has been done. Ma Zhong is indeed a talent. Ma Zhong, you killed Qiao Xuan in Anhui. Killing people for life, now is the time for you to give the head. Zhao Feng snorted, ordered someone to take him to a small room in his backyard, and then entertained with Lu Yi before sending him away.
"Ma Zhong caught it." Zhao Feng said to Xiao Qiao, who had recovered more than half of his injuries. In a simple sentence, it's up to her how to do it. Xiao Qiao is very unstable these days, and Zhao Feng is too lazy to touch this mold. If it hadn't been for the fact that she had just experienced the pain of losing her father, Zhao Feng wouldn't even bother to take care of this matter.
As soon as Xiao Qiao heard Zhao Feng's words, he immediately jumped up and said, "Where is he?" I'm going to kill him with my own hands to avenge my father!"
"He's in the backyard cabin. Go by yourself." After saying this, Zhao Feng handed her a dagger, which was the one Ma Zhong used to stab her at the beginning. I don't know why he picked up the dagger at that time.
Xiao Qiao took the dagger handed over by Zhao Feng with some trembling, gritted his teeth and turned to the backyard. Brother-in-law, she won't really kill people, will she?" Zhen Mi's tone was already a little frightened.
"I don't know!" Zhao Feng told the truth this time. To be honest, he doesn't know whether it's right for him to do this or not. Looking at Xiao Qiao's gritting his teeth these days, Zhao Feng really doesn't want her to be surrounded by hatred all the time. Although there is not much contact, Zhao Feng knows that Xiao Qiao is definitely not a ferocious person. The reason why she behaved so cruelly is that now she has nothing to rely on. Only when she behaves harshly enough can she take care of herself.
After about a cup of tea, Xiao Qiao came back in a daze. The dagger was still in his hand, and there was no trace of blood on the bright dagger sewing.
She still couldn't do it after all.
Looking at Zhao Feng and Zhen Mi, the dagger in Xiao Qiao's hand fell to the ground with a bang, and then covered his face and squatted down to cry. Zhao Feng and Zhen Mi sighed and comforted her together. Not long after, Xiao Qiao stopped crying and looked at the two people in front of him. He remembered that he had been taking care of them these days, but he often lost his temper with his master. Xiao Qiao suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, Zhao Feng did not make her too embarrassed and quickly changed the topic. At this time, it was the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month. Zhao Feng ordered someone to kill Ma Zhong and asked his entourage to take it back to the state and give it to Sun Quan, warning him not to look for trouble in the future. After the detention of Diao Chan and Zhen Jiang, Xiao Qiao stayed in Chaisang for the New Year. As for Qiao Xuan, Jiang Gan, the magistrate of Wancheng County, has restrained him and buried him.
After the end of the year, Xiao Qiao, who had recovered from his injury, said goodbye to Zhao Feng and went home. Thank you, General Zhao, for your help twice. Don't say anything about your kindness. The little woman is willing to be a cow and a horse in the next life. At the time of parting, Xiao Qiao restrained his courtesy and said solemnly.
Diao Chan and the others didn't say anything, but Zhao Feng frowned when he heard the words and pretended to ask casually, "What are your plans for the future?"
