Shu Han Confucian General of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 129 Hatred
Zhao Feng never expected that Xiao Qiao would make such a request to him.This little girl from the south of the Yangtze River, who has always been weak, probably hasn't even killed a chicken, and now she proposes to kill him.But thinking about it carefully, she should have just said that.If she really wants to kill people, I'm afraid she doesn't have the guts to do this kind of thing.She was fascinated by her thoughts, but she didn't have time to talk to her for a while.

Xiao Qiao saw that Zhao Feng listened to her request but was noncommittal without saying a word, and hurriedly said: "General Zhao, I just ask the general to let me kill the enemy with my own hands, Qiao Ying is willing to be a cow and a horse, in order to repay the general's kindness! "After finishing speaking, he struggled to get out of bed and begged.

"Your injury is still not healed, don't move around." Zhao Feng hurriedly pressed Xiao Qiao and said, just now she moved violently, but the wound on her shoulder was oozing blood again.Sighing, Zhao Feng said: "Ma Zhong hasn't been caught yet, but the four gates of Chaisang have been guarded. He should not have escaped, but hid in a secluded place in Chaisang City. Wait until your injury recovers." , I hope you can help draw a few portraits of him, so that he can be wanted in the city."

"Qiao Ying is obliged, my injury is not a hindrance, the general will bring the brush and ink, and I will paint right away." Xiao Qiao immediately said excitedly after hearing this. "Are you really okay?" Zhao Feng looked at Xiao Qiao whose left shoulder was wrapped in a thick layer of gauze, and asked with a frown.

"You only need your right arm to write. If your left arm is injured, it's not a big problem." Xiao Qiao said anxiously, then threw off the quilt and struggled to get out of bed.Seeing that she was so persistent, Zhao Feng couldn't persuade her any more, so he had to order someone to fetch pens, ink and paper for her to paint.

Since Cai Lun improved papermaking in the Eastern Han Dynasty, paper has been produced and used on a large scale.However, most of the paper at this time was rough yellow paper, which was brittle and thick, and was generally used for wrapping and posting posters.Only some delicate and soft paper produced in the Jiangdong area was used by these literati to write and paint.At that moment, Zhao Feng ordered someone to fetch a few pieces of yellow paper, and ordered someone to polish the ink, Xiao Qiao moved his brush like flying, and drew four portraits in a row in an instant.

"Come here, tell me to Lord Lu, let him stick in front of Chaisang's four gates, and offer a reward of [-] yuan for arresting this person!" Zhao Feng handed over the painted portraits to his own soldiers, and asked Lu Yi to follow the map Bar.Ma Zhong was not familiar with the place where he lived in Chaisang, he had no place to hide, and he couldn't get out of the city, so he might be arrested within a few days.

"Thank you, General Zhao!" Xiao Qiao reluctantly wanted to bow her hands in thanks, but the wound on her left shoulder was hurt so much that she grinned.

"It's better not to move around." Zhao Feng saw that she was so excited, and her mood was really unstable for a while. I really didn't want her to leave any psychological shadow because of this, so he changed the subject immediately: "Why did this Ma Zhong come here?" Trouble with you?"

Xiao Qiao's face froze when she heard this, and then she shook her head and smiled wryly. "Brother-in-law, you are stupid, this sister is so beautiful, that bastard naturally wants to snatch her back to be his wife." Zhen Mi curled her lips and said.

"Little girl, you flattered him, because he doesn't have the guts." Xiao Qiao smiled wryly.

"Could it be Sun Quan?" Zhao Feng asked with a frown.

"How did the general know?" Xiao Qiao was shocked when she heard the words, which undoubtedly acquiesced to Zhao Feng's guess.

"I guessed, before Gongjin died that day, he asked me to tell you to be careful of someone, but unfortunately he died before finishing a sentence. Now it seems that it should be Sun Quan." Zhao Feng half speculated and half wisely.Thinking of what happened that day, Zhao Feng couldn't help feeling a little sad.

"Gongjin!" Xiao Qiao chanted the name of her dead husband, but burst into tears for a moment.Suddenly, she raised her head and said bitterly: "General Zhao, why did you use me to frame Gongjin in Poyang City that day?"

"Huh?" Seeing that she suddenly pointed the finger at him again, Zhao Feng couldn't react for a while, but then he realized that she was emotionally agitated, and her thinking was so fast that no one could compare.At the moment, he also sighed and said: "Soldiers never tire of deceit. But I didn't expect Sun Quan to be so cruel. I thought he would only imprison Zhou Gongjin, so that I can let him serve as the Lord after I break through Jiangdong. But I never expected it to end like this." Not to mention Zhao Feng, Zhou Yu made it clear that day that even if Sun Ce had a spirit in heaven, he probably wouldn't have thought of such a result between his own brother and his brother.

In fact, Zhao Feng's understanding of Sun Quan mainly comes from historical books. This understanding cannot be said to be inaccurate, but he still overlooked one point, that is, when he fought Jiangdong, Sun Quan was young, and the one who had been in Jiangdongba during the Chibi battle in history Compared with Sun Quan in [-], there is still a big gap in terms of personal strategy and leadership methods.Under this situation, in the face of foreign invaders, Sun Quan naturally must first settle down in order to fight against the outside world.Under the influence of suspicion, it is also possible to kill Zhou Yu.In addition, because of Xiao Qiao, Sun Quan also vented his envy, jealousy and hatred on Zhou Yu.If it were the Sun Quan who was eight years later in history, he would naturally be able to distinguish the priorities, so as not to self-destruct the Great Wall.

To make a comparison that may not be completely accurate, Sun Quan at that time was like the Chongzhen Emperor who had just succeeded to the throne during the Ming Dynasty.It was also a young man who came to the throne, and also under the influence of suspicion, Chongzhen also killed the general Yuan Chonghuan because of a counter-measure.If Sun Quan had been in power for a few more years, he would not have made such a mistake.Of course, Zhao Feng never gave him such a chance.

These thoughts flashed through Zhao Feng's mind, but Xiao Qiao sneered when she heard the words: "The general said it really lightly, knowing that he is not an opponent, he used such despicable tricks to kill Gong Jin. In vain, I still regarded you He is a humble gentleman, but he turned out to be a despicable person!" Now she was emotionally agitated, and she really thought of what to say.

"You woman is so unreasonable. Your husband died and you still depend on others. If you have the ability, go to Sun Quan to settle the score!" Seeing that Xiao Qiao was so arrogant, Zhen Mi was furious. "Forget it, Xiao Mi. You women won't understand about the war." Zhao Feng sighed.Staring straight at Xiao Qiao, Zhao Feng said in a deep voice: "Zhou Gongjin's life is life. Isn't my Xuzhou army's more than [-] lives not life? We are all living beings, big men, why do we favor one over another? In the battle of Tingling, nearly ten thousand soldiers of my Xuzhou were killed by him. Counting his double counting of the Jingzhou army, the number of people who died in his hands was not [-] but [-]. If you think he was wronged, who is it? What about not being wronged?" Zhao Feng is not a temperless person, he has been angered by her these days, and now he is forced to vent it.

"That's right!" Zhen Mi was now the only one who followed Zhao Feng's lead, and quickly followed suit.Xiao Qiao was a little stunned when she heard the words, opened her mouth and finally said nothing, and finally sat down on the side of the bed, tears falling down again.

"Forget it, you should take a good rest and recuperate. I will tell you when Ma Zhong is caught." The last thing Zhao Feng wanted to see was a woman crying, he sighed and dragged Zhen Mi away.In the next few days, Xiao Qiao rested in peace and didn't say anything, but Diao Chan would visit her occasionally, and the two got along pretty well.

A few days later, when the New Year was getting closer, Zhao Feng was busy arranging the things needed for the New Year at home, but a soldier came to report: "General, Lord Lu sent a young man to tell you that he was caught! "

"Oh? Got it?" Zhao Feng was also amused, and after a while, Lu Yi personally led people to escort Ma Zhong to Zhao Feng's residence. "General Zhao, General Zhao, I have no grievances or enmities with you, please let me live!" Ma Zhong knelt down and begged for mercy as soon as he was escorted into the gate of Zhao Feng's house.

"It stinks!" Seeing Ma Zhong's ragged clothes, disheveled hair, and a stench emanating from his body, Zhao Feng felt a little sick to his stomach. "General Zhao, this guy disguised himself as a beggar and was begging for food in Chaisang City. He was too hungry today to snatch pancakes from children, but instead of grabbing my nephew's head, he was arrested." Lu Yi who followed him explained .

Damn, Zhao Feng really wants to pay homage to Ma Zhong, who is known as the head of the top ten giant killers of the Three Kingdoms in history.He can even do such a creative thing as snatching children's biscuits, this Ma Zhong is really a talent. "Ma Zhong, you killed Qiao Xuan in Wancheng. You pay for your life, now is the time for you to give the head." Zhao Feng snorted, ordered someone to take him down to a small room in his backyard, and socialized with Lu Yi a few more times. In a word, this is how to send him away.

"Ma Zhong is caught." Zhao Feng said to Xiao Qiao, who was mostly healed from his injuries.It's a very simple sentence, it's up to her how to do it.Xiao Qiao's mood is very unstable these days, and Zhao Feng is too lazy to touch this bad luck.If it weren't for the fact that she had just experienced the pain of losing her father, Zhao Feng wouldn't even bother to take care of it.

When Xiao Qiao heard Zhao Feng's words, she immediately jumped up and said, "Where is he? I want to kill him to avenge my father!"

"He's in the hut in the backyard, go by yourself." After Zhao Feng finished speaking, he handed her a dagger, which was exactly the one that Ma Zhong used to stab her.For some unknown reason, he picked up the dagger at that time.

Xiao Qiao tremblingly took the dagger from Zhao Feng, gritted her teeth, turned and walked towards the backyard. "Brother-in-law, she didn't really kill people, did she?" Zhen Mi's tone was already a little frightened.

"I don't know!" Zhao Feng told the truth this time.To be honest, he didn't know whether it was right or not for him to do so. Looking at Xiao Qiao's gritted teeth these days, Zhao Feng really didn't want her to be surrounded by hatred all the time.Although he didn't have much contact with her, Zhao Feng knew that Xiao Qiao was definitely not a cruel person.The reason why she behaved so ruthlessly was because she had nothing to rely on now, and she could only take care of herself if she behaved ruthlessly.

After about a cup of tea, Xiao Qiao came back in despair, the dagger was still in her hand, and there was no trace of blood on the sewing of the shiny dagger.

She still couldn't do it after all.

Looking at Zhao Feng and Zhen Mi, the dagger in Xiao Qiao's hand fell to the ground with a clang, and then she knelt down and cried bitterly, covering her face.Zhao Feng and Zhen Mi were overwhelmed with emotion and comforted her together.Not long after, Xiao Qiao stopped crying, looked at the two people in front of her, and remembered that she had been taken care of by them these days, but she often yelled at her master, Xiao Qiao suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, Zhao Feng didn't embarrass her too much, and quickly changed the subject.It was already the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, Zhao Feng ordered Ma Zhong to be slaughtered, his head was brought back to Jiaozhou by his followers and handed over to Sun Quan, warning him not to seek trouble for nothing in the future.Under the persuasion of Diao Chan and Zhen Jiang, Xiao Qiao stayed in Chaisang for the new year.As for Qiao Xuan, Jiang Gan, the magistrate of Wancheng County, had restrained him and buried him.

After the Chinese New Year, Xiao Qiao, who had recovered from her injuries, said goodbye to Zhao Feng and went home. "Thank you, General Zhao, for saving me twice. I will never say anything more about my great kindness. The little girl is willing to repay you in the next life." When parting, Xiao Qiao solemnly said with her hands folded.

Diao Chan and the others didn't say anything, but Zhao Feng frowned when he heard the words, pretending to ask casually, "What are your plans for the future?"
