Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 25 Ganlu Temple, the opportunity to sacrifice has come!
The communication between Liu Bei and Qiao Guolao was still very smooth.

But Sun Shangxiang was not the daughter of Qiao Guolao. As a local rich man, Qiao Guolao just treated the story as gossip.

But speaking of it, the life of Mr. Qiao is quite tragic. Although his two daughters married heroes, these heroes died too early!

With the deaths of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, the Qiao family was doomed.

No one dared to marry these two widows, but Sun Quan said he could treat them well...

After all, it depends on his expression.

However, at the moment, Old Master Qiao is still in good shape. After all, Zhou Yu is not dead yet, and the status of his Qiao family is still good.

"Good thing! Great thing!"

The white-haired Qiao Guolao is full of energy and is quite concerned about Liu Bei marrying Sun Quan's younger sister.

Liu Bei bowed and said, "There is still an age gap between us. I don't know if I can accept your request."

Qiao Guolao said: "Alas... the age difference is nothing. I see that Xuande is strong and will live another thirty years."

However, Qiao Guolao was wrong on this point. According to history, Liu Bei still had 15 years to live.

But even if it was only fifteen years, it was still long enough to live longer than Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.

Liu Bei naturally couldn't predict how long he could live, so when he heard Qiao Guolao "telling" him, he smiled and said, "After all, I'm still a little short of my age, so I'd like to ask you to say a few words of praise."

Qiao Guo nodded again and said, "Okay...Okay..."

He just said that, but no one knew what he was thinking, his face changed, and he looked a little sad.

Liu Bei saw the big picture and immediately asked, "Is there any trouble?"

It seemed that Qiao Guolao was really troubled. He moved his mouth but still didn't say what was on his mind.

He just said, "My troubles are not worth mentioning. Lord Xuande... I have kept your matter in mind. I will go to my relative tomorrow to talk about it."

Liu Bei was very pleased to hear this, and seeing that Qiao Guolao really didn't want to talk about his own troubles, he stopped asking any more questions.

He just thanked him and left.

...

What worries Mr. Qiao is naturally his eldest daughter, who is stunningly beautiful but has to be a widow at such a young age.

He wanted to find a good match for his daughter, but he knew it was impossible within Jiangdong.

In the whole Jiangdong, who dares to marry Sun Ce’s widow!

I originally thought that there was really no way to resolve this matter, but when Liu Bei came, I suddenly felt that there was a turning point.

Jiangdong is not possible... maybe somewhere else is possible...

Of course, there are a lot of troubles involved!

No matter how much trouble there is, it is always better than having no hope at all.

...

However, when Mrs. Wu heard from Mr. Qiao that he wanted to use her little daughter as a trick, she was extremely unwilling to do so.

Fortunately, Qiao Guolao was there to advise, "Now that things have come to this, Uncle Liu is a relative of the Han dynasty, so it would be better to really take him in as your son-in-law to avoid embarrassment."

He also said: "Uncle Liu is a great hero of the time. If we can recruit him as a son-in-law, it will not bring disgrace to Jiangdong."

After much persuasion, Wu Guotai finally relaxed a little.

He said, "I have never known Uncle Liu. Let's meet at Ganlu Temple tomorrow. If he doesn't please me, you can do whatever you want, but I won't marry my daughter to him! If he does please me, I will marry my daughter to him!"

Having said that, he arranged to go to Ganlu Temple to watch the emperor's uncle's performance.

But before this arrangement was made, Lu Fan came up with an idea.

Lü Fan knew that Liu Bei had occupied Jingzhou and would not return it, and that the Marquis of Wu was planning to deal with him day and night, so he offered a plan: "Let Zhou Tai lead 300 swordsmen and axemen to lie in wait on both sides of the corridor. If the Queen Mother is unhappy, she can give a shout and both sides will come out at the same time to capture him."

Sun Quan agreed immediately and asked Zhou Tai to ambush them. As long as Queen Mother disagreed, he would take her down directly!
...

Qiao Guolao was very efficient in his work. After bidding farewell to Wu Guotai, he sent someone to report to Liu Bei, saying, "The Marquis of Wu and the Queen Mother will want to see you in person tomorrow. Please ask your uncle to pay close attention to it." Liu Bei immediately discussed the matter with Sun Qian and Xing Daorong.

Sun Qian followed Liu Bei from Xuzhou and traveled abroad as Liu Bei's envoy many times. It has been more than ten years since the first year of Jian'an, and he can be considered a close confidant.

At this moment, Liu Bei asked about the preparations, and Xing Daorong naturally let Sun Qian speak.

But Sun Qian said, "It seems that the people of Dongwu are not united in this marriage. We don't know what the situation will be like tomorrow. But even if the situation changes, I don't dare to act rashly without considering morality. Please be at ease, my lord."

Sun Qian said it well.

After all, it was you who asked others to come for the marriage, so you can't really do it.

It is against morality and will easily make you despised by the world.

but…

However, Xing Daorong felt that Sun Qian overestimated Dongwu.

The bottom line of these guys is lower than you think.

Seeing Liu Bei nod slightly, he hurriedly advised: "Tomorrow's meeting will be more dangerous than good. I will lead 500 soldiers to protect you. If the situation changes, I will escort you out at the risk of my life."

Liu Bei's heart trembled, and he realized that the future was full of dangers, and his expression became more serious.

Sun Qian opened his mouth, thinking that he shouldn't be as exaggerated as Xing Daorong said, but it is always better to be safe than sorry, so he said nothing.

...

The next day, Wu Guotai and Qiao Guolao sat down in Ganlu Temple first.

Sun Quan led a group of advisers into the palace and asked Lu Fan to come to the inn to invite Liu Bei to meet him.

Liu Bei wore a fine armor inside and a cotton robe outside, and his followers followed closely with swords on their backs. He mounted his horse and headed for Ganlu Temple.

Xing Daorong was fully armed, holding a large axe, and led 500 soldiers.

Liu Bei dismounted in front of the temple and met Sun Quan first.

Of course Xing Daorong couldn't go in, so he could only patrol the corridor.

He had no interest in the meeting between Liu Bei and Sun Quan, but if he met Cao Mengde, he might be interested in seeing what was going on.

At this moment, he was patrolling in the corridor and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

It is not easy to ambush three hundred people.

So Zhou Tai disguised the swordsmen as ordinary guards and arranged them in the corridor.

I am also on standby at any time to respond to emergencies.

But Zhou Tai's brave appearance was too conspicuous.

Xing Daorong secretly thought something was wrong and asked with a fierce face, "Why are there so many people in this small corridor?"

"How strange... How strange..."

Xing Daorong deliberately spoke loudly in order to lure the snake out of its hole.

He really wanted to take the initiative, but he was afraid that the "confused thief fairy" would judge it as suicide, so he wanted to ask others to take action.

When Zhou Tai saw Xing Daorong appear with a big axe in his hand, he stared at him closely, and when he heard him say "how strange", his eyes could not leave him anymore!
Although Zhou Tai was born a river bandit, he has a steady personality and will not act rashly until the time comes.

Xing Daorong saw that this was not going to work. Although he didn't know the tiger general, he looked like a powerful character!

Thinking that he had to force him to take action, he suddenly said, "How dare you! How dare you ambush the thieves here!"

Zhou Tai was shocked when he heard this, and instinctively drew his knife and was about to take action!

Xing Daorong was overjoyed when he saw this!
If he got stabbed, he would definitely be dead!

He immediately swung up his axe and said, "There is indeed an ambush! Follow me to kill them!"

At the command, the 500 men drew their swords and were ready to charge!
