Chapter 297 Qin Wang (Lu Su is returning home)
In the next few days, an endless stream of people came to visit. Needless to say, even the officials around Linhuai kept coming, and Tao Qian also sent messengers. The purpose of these people is self-evident, and they just want to beat up the prestigious Li Zhong through Bajie Lusu.
Lu Su originally planned to go to the nest to find Zhou Yu immediately, but this plan had to be postponed.
After tossing around for more than ten days, Lu Su was finally able to pull himself out. So he immediately set off for Juchao County hundreds of miles away. Fifty iron guards followed Lu Su.
And there were two things when he came back. One was to take his grandmother to live in Youzhou, and the other was to recruit this resourceful confidant for Li Zhong.
Zhou Yu is from Shu County, Lujiang. He is familiar with military tactics and wisdom. He has a good reputation because he usually communicates with famous people in the south of the Yangtze River. Yuan Shu invited Zhou Yu to play for him many times after returning to Huainan, but Zhou Yu looked down on Yuan Shu, so he only asked to be a county magistrate in his nest.
Zhou Yu is not only intelligent, but also has an outstanding figure and slender figure, and is also familiar with the rhythm. With this condition, Zhou Yu has undisputedly become the dream of the noble ladies in the south of the Yangtze River.
It is said that Zhou Yu should be proud of the spring breeze, but these days, Zhou Yu is very depressed. On this day, Zhou Yu was drinking alone in the inner hall.
Zhou Yu sighed and his eyebrows were locked. Obviously, there were worries in his heart that could not be relieved. With a glass of wine, Zhou Yu's melancholy expression became stronger.
At this moment, the servant suddenly came to report, "Sir, Lu Su asked to see you."
Zhou Yu was stunned at first, and then his face was full of joy. Zhou Yu quickly dropped his glass and ran out of the inner hall to the gate.
As soon as I came to the door, I saw a white and modest young man standing under the steps. If it weren't for Lu Su, who else would there be?
"Zijing, it's really you!" Zhou Yu quickly walked down the steps and slapped Lu Su's arm with a happy look on his face.
Lu Su smiled and said with his fist, "Gong Jin is all good!"
Zhou Yu also smiled, nodded, and then affectionately took Lu Su's arm inside, "Zi Jing will talk with me!" At this time, Lu Su said, "Hon." Then he told the entourage behind him, "Stay outside the house for the time being!"
"Yes!" The entourage agreed together.
At this time, Zhou Yu noticed that there were still dozens of people coming with Lu Su. Zhou Yu looked at those people and couldn't help showing a slightly surprised look. Those people were not only burly, but also strong, with a strong battlefield atmosphere. Awesome! Whose soldier is this? Has Zijing defected to any prince?
The two came to the inner hall with their arms. Lu Su saw a wine juke that was in use on a small table and couldn't help asking, "Is Gongjin worried about anything?" The reason why Lu Su asked this was because he knew Zhou Yu's character. Zhou Yu rarely drank and occasionally drank, either because of happiness or depression. Just now, Lu Su saw that Zhou Yu's face was faintly melancholy, so he asked this question.
Zhou Yu sighed, ordered the servant to remove the wine utensils, and then asked Lu Su to sit down together and said, "Zi Jing guessed well! I really have something to worry about!"
Oh?! Lu Su showed a slightly surprised look and quickly asked, "Why is Gongjin worried?" Can I help you?"
Zhou Yu shook his head with a wry smile and sighed again, "I really don't know how to tell Zijing about this!" No more! By the way, Zijing, I see that your entourage seems to be a warrior on the battlefield! Which adult did Zijing defect to?"
Lu Su smiled and replied, "Gong Jin's observation is really meticulous! These people who came with me are not only strongmen on the battlefield, but also the lord's pro-military guards, all of whom are brave men!"
Lu Su's words were not exaggerated, and Zhou Yu nodded. Then he continued to ask, "Who is Zijing's master?" At this moment, Zhou Yu is quite curious. He has always known that Lu Su's vision is very high. He really doesn't know who can make Lu Su willing to work?
Lu Su smiled and was about to answer. At the same time, he also wanted to take the opportunity to invite Zhou Yu. However, at this time, a servant came to report, "Son, Mr. Qiao sent someone to send an invitation to visit the house." With that, the servant presented a letter with both hands.
Zhou Yu just nodded and waved his hand to retire the servant.
Zhou Yu took the letter and quickly opened it and read it carefully. It turned out that it was Qiao Gong who invited Jiangnan celebrities to the meeting to celebrate his 60th birthday.
This father-in-law is not someone else but Qiao Xuan. He used to be a lieutenant. He can be said to be a high-ranking man. After unloading his armor, he returned to his hometown for retirement.
Zhou Yu's father's name is Zhou Yi, and Zhou Yu's grandfather and his father's brother have been a lieutenant, so the Zhou family is quite prestigious in the south of the Yangtze River.
Lu Su also read the content of the invitation and calculated that Qiao Xuan was quite prestigious. If he could make friends with him, the Lord would have more help in subduing Jiangnan in the future, so he had a calculation in his heart.
"Gong Jin, what makes you so sad," Lu Su asked.
"Hey! The country is not a country, and now it thinks that it has the ability, but it is useless." After saying that, he shook his head and looked quite sad.
When Lu Su heard this, he was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Gong Jin, what happened to me at that time? But for this reason, didn't you ask me who I voted for?"
"Oh, who"
"Today's riding general, Li Zhong"
"So it is," Zhou Yu looked thoughtful, and his face was as usual, but nothing had changed.
When Lu Su saw it, he was a little puzzled.
"I don't know Gongjin..." Lu Su took the opportunity to ask.
was interrupted by Zhou Yu and said, "I know what Zijing means, but I have to think about it. Well, let's go to Qiao Gong's birthday first, and then give Zijing a reply. I don't know if it's okay?"
Lu Su nodded and said, "Well, although he was a little disappointed, he was not discouraged.
It happens that he is also going to meet Qiao Xuan, just with Zhou Yu.
......
Because it's still early, Zhou Yu, who can't wait, decided to go on the road immediately.
Zhou Yu only took two attendants and rode a horse. Lu Su and Zhou Yu walked together, followed by dozens of iron guards.
Along the way, Lu Su did not talk about business, because he felt that it was not appropriate to talk about business at this time.
In fact, Zhou Yu had already guessed Lu Su's intention, but now he has other concerns, so he did not mention this matter.
Qiao's compound is located in the long mountain north of Dantu, some distance from the nest. Zhou Yu and Lu Su and his party arrived in Dantu five days later.
At this time, Dantu's market seems to be very lively, and many well-dressed and elegantly handsome people are now in front of them.
Lu Su couldn't help sighing, "This Duke Qiao's influence is not small!" It can make so many young heroes gather here!"
Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Zi Jing doesn't know yet."
"Oh, does Gongjin mean?"
"It's not because of Qiao Gong's two daughters, the country is beautiful and charming"
"It's no wonder"
"Gong Jin is such a handsome and handsome figure, why don't you go to Qiao's house to propose marriage? The so-called beauty with heroes
"The so-called gentle hometown is a tomb of heroes, not to mention that I have achieved nothing now and don't want to think about anything else," Zhou Yu said lightly.
"Gongjin, let's find a place to settle down first!" Lu Su said.
Zhou Yu nodded and pointed to a restaurant not far away and said, "Let's go there to rest!"
After a while, a group of people came to the restaurant. After asking, they were surprised that the restaurant was full.
"Gong Jin, let's go to another house!"
Zhou Yu hasn't answered yet, but the store next to him said, "There are only three inn stores in this county and town, and they were all full yesterday! You'd better find a place to settle down!"
At this time, Zhou Yu said, "I have a friend here. Let's go to him for a few days!"
Then, the group left the inn and came to the friend's house mentioned by Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu's friend, surnamed Zhang, is a businessman and treats people very warmly. Zhang Tuo looked very happy to see Zhou Yu's visit.
After Zhou Yu explained his intention, Zhang Li readily vacated half of the backyard for Zhou Yu and Lusu and his party.
The day when Qiao Gong was scheduled to go to the meeting was two days later, so Zhou Yu and Lu Su wandered around the city during the day and talked until late at night.
In his words, Lu Su revealed the intention of accepting, but Zhou Yu could not deny it, which made Lu Su a little depressed.
