Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 28 Liu Bei Wants to Elop

When Qiao Guolao said this, Xing Daorong was shocked.

With all this going on, and with Qiao Guolao quietly approaching me and asking me if I’m married, what else could it be?
I'm afraid that Qiao Guolao doesn't want his daughter to be a widow and has taken a fancy to a rich son-in-law like me.

This is exactly the case!
Old man Qiao Guo was very experienced and knew that it would be impossible for his eldest daughter to find a good match in Dongwu, so he had to broaden his horizons.

Xing Daorong is a heroic man with a lot of heroic spirit. It would be a good thing if he could fall in love with a widow like me.

But although Xing Daorong doesn't despise other people's wives, he despises raising someone else's son!

He immediately said: "Although I have not yet married, my Lord has found a good match for me. When I return to Jingzhou, we will get married."

When Qiao Guolao heard that it was Liu Bei who was looking for a marriage partner, he immediately realized that no matter how beautiful his daughter was, she could not compare to him, and he felt disappointed.

He just nodded and said, "I see, then congratulations, General."

Xing Daorong was afraid that Mr. Qiao would come up with some stupid ideas again, so he bowed to the old man, said nothing more, and hurried back to the house.

Only the Qiao Mansion was left in silence again, but after a while, the voice of the young man reciting could be heard again.
"The murderous aura formed into a cloud for three hours, and the cold sound of fighting spread all night. Looking at each other's blades and blood, we never care about honors when we die. Don't you see the hardship of fighting on the battlefield? We only see death today and return home."

Xing Daorong knew that this was a poem specially prepared by Qiao Guolao, but Xing Daorong would never raise a son for Sun Ce, so he just pretended not to hear it...

Xing Daorong just regarded what happened at Qiao Guolao's house as an episode.

The current focus is still Liu Bei’s marriage.

After Qiao Guolao and Wu Guotai told Liu Bei that he was feeling uneasy, Wu Guotai asked him to move into the academy temporarily and choose a day to complete the marriage.

Within a few days, a grand banquet was held to invite Sun Shangxiang to marry Liu Bei.

Although Xing Daorong's wounds had not fully healed, he could not miss such an important moment, so he naturally participated in it.

The marriage customs during the Han and Three Kingdoms periods basically followed the "Six Rites" of Zhou Li thousands of years ago, namely: "Nacai, Wenming, Naji, Nazheng, Qingqi, Qinying."

However, the situation of Liu Bei and Sun Shangxiang is special, so everything can be kept as simple as possible.

Only the scale of the dinner was very large. There were probably about a hundred tables at the banquet alone.

Xing Daorong never drinks alcohol.

It’s not that he was loyal and was afraid that something might happen to Liu Bei.

He was afraid that if an accident really happened, he would get drunk and miss it, thus missing the chance to be reborn!

Besides, Sun Qian had instructed that after the marriage was completed today, the lord should leave a letter tomorrow morning, saying that if he heard that Cao Cao was about to make a move, he should return to Jingzhou and stay away from this place of trouble.

With this arrangement, how could I possibly drink any alcohol?

So no matter who persuades me, I just refuse to eat.

Such dedication and diligence inevitably attracted criticism from people in Jiangdong.

Just then, a few men at the other table were looking at Xing Daorong, and the black-faced general among them was none other than Zhou Tai, with whom he had fought last time.

"Youping, is this Xing Daorong, the imperial uncle's personal guard whom you were asked to injure last time? Tell us about his abilities."

At the banquet, it was rare for the generals of Eastern Wu to gather together. The one who was asking Zhou Tai questions at this moment was his good friend, Jiang Qin.

Originally, he was fighting with He Qi against the Shanyue bandits in Yi County, and happened to have returned to claim credit for his meritorious service a few days ago. As it was Liu Bei's wedding, he was naturally indispensable.

I also heard that Zhou Tai had injured someone a few days ago, and I couldn't help but ask about it out of curiosity.

Zhou Tai really had no idea about Xing Daorong's abilities.

When they fought that day, it did seem that Xing Daorong's martial arts were not top-notch, but sometimes matters of martial arts cannot be determined in just one fight.

Even if we say that Guan Yu killed Yan Liang and Wen Chou, we cannot say that Yan Liang and Wen Chou had no skills. Many times, when demonstrating martial arts, it really depends on the situation and state at the time.

Thinking of this, Zhou Tai responded, "He is not much different from me. If he hadn't been so anxious that day and wanted to take me down directly, I wouldn't have been able to hurt him."

Zhou Tai's words were really very respectful.

To be honest, Xing Daorong and Zhou Tai fought three moves in total, and Xing Daorong was injured in two moves. They were simply not even a match for each other.

It’s just that Zhou Tai is indeed quite famous in Jiangdong. Although he is one of the best in leading troops to fight, his martial arts is definitely among the best.

Hearing that Xing Daorong could actually fight Zhou Tai on equal terms, they couldn't help but gasp.

Cheng Pu and Han Dang, two old officials of the Eastern Wu, could not help but sigh: "I never thought that Liu Bei would have so many talented people under his command. They will definitely become a powerful enemy in the future."

Jiang Qin said, "Now that the two families are on good terms and are forming an alliance, isn't this a good thing?"

In Jiangdong, there have always been two groups with different attitudes towards Liu Bei.

One group, led by Zhou Yu, planned to divide the world into two. They wanted to destroy Liu Bei, advance into West Sichuan, divide the country by the river, and fight against Cao Cao.

Another group, led by Lu Su, planned to ally with Liu Bei to fight against Cao Cao, stabilize the situation, wait for the right time, and then unify the world.

The civil officials were divided into two factions, and the military officials were inevitably affected as well.

Cheng Pu and Han Dang supported Zhou Yu's idea of ​​dividing the world into two. Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai did not have any special opinions, but when they saw that Liu Bei and Sun Shangxiang were married, they felt that an alliance was a good thing.

When listening to Jiang Qin's words, Cheng Puhan did not respond for a moment and just drank in silence.

Jiang Qin noticed that the atmosphere was not right. Although he didn't know what he said wrong, he could still read the expression on his face.

He glanced at his good brother Zhou Tai and just drank.

Zhou Tai, on the other hand, was somewhat worried, feeling that such a divided atmosphere was bound to lead to some problems sooner or later.

That night, everything was peaceful.

It’s just that Xing Daorong feels a little bit miserable.

Liu Bei was in the bridal chamber while he was guarding the door outside. It really didn't feel good.

However, today is a big event, so Xing Daorong dare not relax.

Sure enough, at the second watch of the night, when it was still dark, the door of the room opened.

Liu Bei was wearing soft armor, holding a single sword, and holding Sun Shangxiang with his left hand. When he saw Xing Daorong, his expression relaxed and he said, "Zi Yu, is there anything going on?"

Xing Daorong shook his head and said, "Everything is fine, my lord. Are you ready?"

Having said that, he couldn't help but look at Sun Shangxiang.

But she is naturally beautiful, graceful and has a very girlish air.

But if we just talk about appearance, Sun Shangxiang is still inferior to Fan Yufeng and Da Qiao.

But speaking of it, our boss Liu is really capable. As soon as they met, he seduced the little sister of the Sun family and made her willing to elope with him. He is really a talented person!
In comparison, Boss Cao seemed to be lacking something, otherwise there wouldn't have been the incident in Wancheng.

There was no time to say more, Xing Daorong hurriedly said: "Gongyou's ships are already ready, my lord, let's go quickly, don't let them react."

Xing Daorong is very dedicated and responsible at this moment.

Liu Bei nodded immediately, followed Xing Daorong, and took Sun Shangxiang with him, and ran away!
