Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 169 The Wind Rises
"Mrs. Xiao Qiao, thank you for your words earlier. It made today's trip so smooth."

Xing Daorong really didn't know what to call Xiao Qiao best.

In terms of relationship, you must call her sister-in-law.

However, it is obvious that Xing Daorong and Xiao Qiao did not have that close a relationship. Besides, there was the matter of "Zhou Yu's death" which prevented them from being close.

Xing Daorong could only awkwardly call her "Mrs. Xiao Qiao".

Xiao Qiao felt quite fine, and smiled slightly, saying, "When I go to Jiangling, I will have to rely on my sister. Brother-in-law, you are so polite, but it makes me feel uneasy."

Xiao Qiao paused, as if she was thinking about how to address Xing Daorong before she said, "Just call me Wan'er from now on."

But although Xiao Qiao was smiling, Xing Daorong could see that her smile was actually very perfunctory.

Glancing at Zhou Xun again, Xing Daorong always felt as if he was causing trouble for himself.

This kid, I guess he doesn't still think that he is the murderer of his father.
Xing Daorong thought of Zhou Xun's expression that day and couldn't help feeling worried.

Xiao Qiao was thoughtful, but said, "Don't worry, brother-in-law, Xun'er has already figured it out."

Xing Daorong nodded slightly and said, "In that case, I will also recommend him to you, my lord. I think he can inherit Zhou Gongjin's style and become the best in the world in the future."

Xiao Qiao was a little surprised. She didn't expect Xing Daorong to recommend Zhou Xun. She bowed and said, "Thank you, brother-in-law."

What Xing Daorong was actually thinking was that if Zhou Xun really was too stupid to deal with him, he would definitely not be able to do that under Liu Bei.

Besides, even if something unexpected happens and he really takes revenge on me, I don’t care. At most, I can become a rich second-generation again.

With a way out, Xing Daorong is really confident in doing everything according to his heart without any scruples.

But Xiao Qiao certainly couldn't know what was in her heart, so she just waved her hand and said, "No matter what happened before, we are family now, so we should be of the same blood."

Xiao Qiao nodded slightly and said, "This is how it should be between family members."

After saying this, Xing Daorong felt something was wrong again.

I don’t even have a baby yet, but I came first as soon as my family mentioned it.

Besides, I don’t know how these two people with the surname Xing, Qiao, and Zhou formed a family.

Not to mention that Xing Daorong brought his sister-in-law back to Jiangdong, which made Da Qiao very happy. But in Jiangdong, everyone was shocked to learn that Zhou Tai had left Jiangdong.

The first to bear the brunt was naturally Sun Quan.

When they heard that Xing Daorong had taken Zhou Tai directly from Wulin, the table was slammed loudly.

But this kind of "impotent rage" is actually better than treating it calmly.

When the news spread, everyone knew that Sun Quan had failed again...

Although the encirclement and suppression of Xing Daorong failed and did not affect the overall situation, it was still a failure.

And always fail...

Whether it is a big failure or a small failure, it is obviously not a good thing.

...

Lu Mansion.

The mansion was bustling this time.

Not only the brothers Lu Jun and Lu Ji, but also Quan Cong and Gu Shao, two famous scholars who had seen Xing Daorong perform "Linjiangxian" last time, were among them.

The reason why we gathered here was to talk about Wulin.

"Everyone... the news is absolutely true. Xing Daorong took General Zhou Tai away from Jiangdong and is probably celebrating his success in Jiangling now."

Lu Ji's words made everyone silent for a moment.

After all, it’s someone else’s carnival, even if this someone else can be considered “half a friend”.

Seeing everyone's solemn expressions, Lu Ji smiled and said, "Why is there such an atmosphere? Everyone looks so sad?"

Quan Cong looked at Lu Ji's relaxed face and felt a little indignant: "You are still laughing. Now that Xing Daorong has taken Zhou Tai away, Jiangdong is becoming increasingly weak. You don't even think about how to deal with it, but you still feel like laughing."

Lu Ji looked as if he didn't care.

The corners of his mouth slightly raised, with an inexplicable smile, he said: "After all, Xing Daorong has a history with us, could it be that... you really hope that he will be captured by Wu Hou?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's mind of weighing was immediately relieved. "Yes!"

"Now that I put it that way, it seems like no matter what happens, it won't have any impact on me."

"If Xing Daorong is arrested, it will be good for Jiangdong; if Xing Daorong escapes, he is still my good friend."

"Both ends are good, why make it so heavy?"

After they understood this, they all felt much more relaxed.

Quan Cong sighed, "Gongji, you are really clear-headed. The way we are worried about each other...has become a joke."

Unexpectedly, after these words came out, Lu Ji's expression became a little more tense. Unlike before, he was not indifferent. He said to everyone seriously: "Everyone... you should relax when you should, and you should think seriously when you should."

Something to think about…

Gu Shao and Quan Cong didn't understand it very well and didn't know what Lu Ji meant.

"In the last battle of Jingzhou, Lü Meng was defeated and died. This matter had nothing to do with others, but because Xu Sheng and Dong Xi failed to seek help, they took their anger out on Yuan Tan."

"Fortunately, we argued with reason and prevented Yuan Tan from being punished."

"However, Yuan Tan has been transferred back from Yuzhang, and the position of Yuzhang governor is still vacant."

"Others don't want to go, but I am willing to go. What do you think?"

Quan Cong and Gu Shao immediately said, "Yuzhang is a remote place, why bother going there to suffer?"

Lu Ji said something suggestive: "Looking at the temper of the Marquis Wu, it would be better to go farther away."

Everyone fell silent after hearing this.

Lu Ji’s words were clear enough. There were undercurrents around Sun Quan right now, so it was better to stay away from him.

Pinpin is right. In Sun Quan's current condition, he can indeed go further and wait until the storm is over.

Look, even Zhou Tai was forced to leave, let alone others.

But Lu Ji is going to Yuzhang, so where the others can go is up to them to figure out.

This issue…

You really need to think about it yourself.

...

Xing Daorong brought Zhou Tai back, and of course he had to report this to Liu Bei as soon as possible.

So as soon as he returned to Jiangling, Xing Daorong wrote a letter and wanted to ask someone to deliver it.

Unexpectedly, before this man left, the transfer order from Chengdu arrived.

The transfer order was written very clearly.

Xing Daorong was summoned to Sichuan to prepare for war.

Xing Daorong had long expected that he would mobilize troops once spring came, but he did not expect it to happen so soon.

After all, spring is for farming, and most people use the land to grow crops to avoid food shortages during future wars.

But think about it, do I need to worry about these things?

Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng had already figured it out.

All I have to do is take care of the war...

After receiving the transfer order, Xing Daorong prepared to leave. When Mi Fang learned that Xing Daorong was leaving, he immediately held a banquet to see Xing Daorong off.

is the day.

Xing Daorong brought his family, the newly arrived Zhou Tai, and his sister-in-law Xiao Qiao to a banquet at Mi Fang's mansion.

Everyone knew that they wouldn't know when they would see each other again, so they completely relaxed from the beginning of the banquet.

After drinking for a while, Mi Fang was even drunk and began to reveal some of his true feelings.
