Chapter 35 The Alliance of the Undercurrent Surge
Thank you for the reward of Bu Dai's life and the evaluation votes of Alum Mountain people. This chapter is a little late. Sorry, hehe.

His eyebrows, eyes, ears and nose, healthy and shiny skin tone, soft and clear outline, good facial features, and even a slight mole between his forehead are all perfect and impeccable. And in those bright starry eyes, there is a soft and sharpness, which brings people not the murderous spirit of fear, but a unique and mysterious attraction, which is shocking.
There are many outstanding-looking people around Liu Bei. Zhao Yun, who is heroic and manly, Zhuge Kongming, who is unrestrained and elegant, and elegant. Even Liu Feng himself thinks he is handsome.
However, in the face of the man in front of him, the handsomeness in his impression became so insignificant that even he had a faint shame in an instant.
The man in front of him has jumped out of the concept of heroic and handsome. In Liu Feng's thesaurus, it can only be described as "beauty" that favors female surnames.
Although he has an amazing face, he is extremely masculine between his hands and feet. A casual smile is like the sun that melts the ice and snow, which makes people secretly close.
Is this the legendary Jiangdong Mei Zhoulang?
Liu Feng took a deep breath and looked at Xu Shu beside him. At this moment, Xu Shu also looked shocked. Obviously, even this person who has traveled the world since childhood and is well-informed, like Liu Feng, is now deeply fascinated by the appearance and temperament of Mei Zhou Lang.
"Yuan Zhi, Feng'er, here you are." When the two of them sighed, Liu Bei and Zhou Yu had come forward.
"Lord."
"Father."
Liu Feng and Xu Shu suddenly woke up, quickly restrained their minds and saluted Liu Bei, whom they had not seen for a long time.
"Governor, this is Xu Yuanzhi, whom I often mention to you." Liu Bei introduced with a smile.
"Mr. Yuanzhi's name, Yu has heard of it for a long time," Zhou Yu walked away from Liu Bei and walked to Xu Shu. His bright eyes looked at him without blinking. "It's a pleasure to see you today."
"The governor of Zhou has been flattered. The concubine is just a Confucian student in cloth. How can he be as famous as the governor of the world? It's an honor for a concubine to see it now." After all, Xu Shu is a person who has seen the world. Although his heart is infected by Zhou Yu's temperament, his words and deeds are decent and natural, and there is no trace.
Before Zhou Yu came up to say hello, Liu Feng took the initiative to saluted: "Feng has met the governor of Zhou. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Zhou Yu's soft eyes turned to Liu Feng, and there was still a kind smile on his handsome face. His slender eyelashes blinked up and down, looked at Liu Feng a few times, and sighed, "Sure enough, it's a tiger father without a dog. Xuandegong, I've heard that there is a handsome son under your knees for a long time. At first sight, it really lives up to its reputation."
Liu Feng has just made his debut and his reputation is not obvious. Of course, Liu Bei knew that Zhou Yu's praise was purely out of praise, so he smiled humbly: "Dog Yulu, not as good as Gong Jin, let Gong Jin laugh."
Liu Feng was unhappy when he heard this. If you want to compliment Zhou Yu, just do whatever you want. Why don't you demean me? If you demean my son is not as good as others, don't you just belittle your incompetence as a father?
Liu Feng's unhappeasibility was just a flash, but then he realized that Liu Bei's sentence just now was not so simple. In the face of an important person like Zhou Yu, even a casual polite word would not be said.
Suddenly, Liu Feng vaguely guessed a few clues: Liu Bei can modestly say that his son is not good, and he still needs to train Yunyun, but why do he have to compare Zhou Yu with himself? Isn't this invisibly raising his identity and demoting Zhou Yu, the commander of Eastern Wu, to the position of his younger generation?
After these days of experience and study in Xiakou, Liu Feng has a glimpse of the so-called power scheme, but he can only guess the intention of Liu Bei's words just now, but he can't guess the deeper purpose for the time being.
"Ha ha, how can Xuan Degong laugh? Thank you for your hard work. Why don't you invite us inside? Let's talk while drinking tea. Zhou Yu was still full of spring breeze, and he couldn't even see even an abnormal look in his eyes. He enthusiastically invited Xu Shu and others into the central cabin of the building ship.
"Gong Jin, I have ordered Yuan Zhi and others to prepare some small gifts for the use of laborers to do some friendship of landlords. I hope Gong Jin will not take courtesy lightly." Liu Bei said "the friendship of the landlord", as if he had replaced Liu Qi and pretended to be the lord of Jiangxia.
"Why should Xuande be so polite? Since our two families have an alliance, they will be their own family from now on. If our family still see each other like this, I will be a little embarrassed."
From boarding the ship to now, Zhou Yu's polite attitude has made Liu Feng feel the kind and friendliness from the bottom of his heart. Although Liu Feng knew that Sun Liu's alliance was purely a temporary combination of interests, as Sun Qian said before, Zhou Yu's personal temperament seemed to dilute the taste of some interests and put a warm veil on the alliance of the two families.
"Governor Zhou, your army has come from afar, and the food and fodder must still be behind. Therefore, according to the order of my master, we also tried our best to raise 30,000 stones of grain and fodder as a gift for the labor army. Now the grain ship has been waiting for the order in Xiakoushui Village. I don't know where the governor intends to go on the south bank. I also have a good order to send the grain ship there as soon as possible.
Liu Feng heard the two layers of intention of Xu Shu's words. Although Jiangxia was only one county, when Liu Qi took office last year, Liu Biao gave him a lot of grain and fodder and fodder. The grain alone was enough for the 20,000 soldiers and horses in their hands to eat for several years, and Xu Shu's sentence "doing all his best" was obviously crying. The purpose was On the surface of Xiang Dongwu, we have no food. Although our two families are allied, we have to take care of ourselves. Don't count on us.
The second intention is to remind Zhou Yu that according to the agreement before the alliance, the sphere of influence of you and your army is only limited to the south of the Yangtze River, so you'd better go to the south bank obediently and don't want to get mixed up with Xiakou City in Jiangbei.
In order to verify his guess, when Xu Shu spoke, he raised his hand to drink tea as a cover, and his eyes in the shadow quietly glanced at Liu Bei. Sure enough, as he expected, Liu Bei also quietly looked at Xu Shu at this moment, and a trace of satisfaction flashed in his narrowed eyes at a certain moment.
Zhou Yu smiled cheerfully: "Since it's my own family, then I'm not polite. I'll take these 30,000 stones of grain and fodder. But you don't have to send it to the south bank, just send it directly to my warship.
Liu Bei hurriedly said, "In this way, Gong Jin will take a lot of time. Why don't I just let them drive the grain boat directly to the south bank? Anyway, it's just a river away."
"The Xuande Guild is wrong. In fact, our army does not intend to go to the village on the south bank."
Zhou Yu's sudden words shocked Liu Bei and others. The atmosphere of talking and laughing in the cabin immediately became solemn. Liu Bei quickly winked at Xu Shu.
"Governor Zhou, according to the prior agreement, the Cao army on Hanshui North Road is resisted by our army, and the Cao army on the west road is resisted by your army. Our two families work together to defend Xiakou. If the governor's soldiers and horses are not on the south bank, how should they resist the Cao army? Xu Shu, who was understanding, questioned Zhou Yu's words just now for Liu Bei.
Zhou Yu picked up the tea with her white-skinned hand, took a sip of it slowly, squinting her eyes and aftertaste the fragrance of tea for a moment, and then slowly answered a word that made Liu Bei and others all change color: "Who said that I would keep Xiakou? I plan to go back to Jiangxi and kill Cao's old thief halfway through Xiakou."
