Big Joe, Little Joe loves me

Chapter 77
On the road, a carriage of carriages moved forward slowly, and laughter continued one after another.

In the carriage in the center of the convoy, a howling sound like an oriole coming out of the valley slowly flowed, mellow and pleasant, and lingered for three days.

This is Yuan Ji's whistle.

As time went on in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Gan heard many whistles, some good and some bad, but without exception, he only heard the sound and didn't know the words.

If a beautiful melody is not embellished with lyrics, no matter how melodious and beautiful it sounds, there will always be a sense of inadequacy in the blemishes.

Yuan Ji is obviously a peerless beauty who is good at whistling. When her eyes flashed, she could hear a melody like a sung song from heaven. With her gestures and gestures, her red lips were slightly parted, revealing all kinds of charms of a woman.

After singing a song, there was thunderous applause.

"You're showing your ugliness." Yuan Ji nodded slightly and spoke softly.

"It's really nice. My sister-in-law's singing is the best I've ever heard." Sun Renxian looked admiring.

"One more song, one more song." Sun Lang booed.

At this time, the infant Sun Shao suddenly smiled, as if he was also expecting his mother to sing a song.

Outside the carriage, Liu Gan was sitting side by side with the driver. Liu Gan suddenly raised his hand and sang loudly: "Laugh at me as crazy, laugh at me as crazy, sing about wine, point your sword everywhere, live to be a hero, and die to be a legend." , the wind is blowing, dreams are flying..."

Together with this song, everyone listened attentively.

When Liu Gan sang the first line, Yuan Ji already recognized whose voice it was.

"Wow, what kind of song is this? It's so majestic!" Sun Renxian looked surprised and couldn't wait to get out of the carriage, followed by Sun Lang.

I saw Liu Gan sitting by the door of the carriage, swinging from side to side, enjoying himself and singing.

Seeing Sun Renxian poking his head out, Liu Gan smiled at the girl, and continued to sing a cappella: "There is a beautiful woman, on the side of the water, there is a vow that will never be forgotten. Now life and death are boundless, and she is regarded as a confidant, and her blood is on the battlefield..."

Sun Renxian couldn't help but blush when he heard "there is a beautiful woman on the side of the water who has a vow that will never be forgotten", but then he was attracted by Liu Gan's catchy singing. I have never heard such a majestic yet mellow and lingering song.

After Liu Gan finished singing, Sun Renxian asked impatiently: "Brother Gan, what song is this? It's really nice, and the lyrics in the song are really well written. Is this your song? "

Sun Lang also expressed admiration: "Brother Gan, you are so amazing, can you teach me?"

Sun Renxian suddenly grabbed Liu Gan's arm and said, "I want to learn, I want to learn."

Liu Gan touched Sun Lang's head and said with a smile: "I can teach you, the name of this song is "Battle for Hegemony". If you want to learn it, you have to pay the tuition first."

Sun Lang suddenly wondered: "But I have no money..."

Sun Renxian took out a handful of baht coins and said triumphantly, "I have money."

Liu Gan smiled and said, "I'm not talking about tuition fees. Hey, hey, I don't know what happened. After riding in a carriage for a whole day, my back hurts badly."

Hearing this, Sun Renxian rolled his eyes and quickly reached out to help Liu Gan beat his back and squeeze his shoulders.

Sun Lang followed suit, clenched his fists, and tapped Liu Gan's thigh lightly.

Liu Gan looked satisfied, and praised: "You can teach a child."

The next moment, the high-pitched singing voice came out again, and the little boy and the little girl sang along with the voice, enjoying themselves happily.

"Brother Xie, don't you think this person is very problematic?"

At the front of the motorcade, Li Yi rode his horse and stood up. He suddenly said to Xie Jing, the leader of the motorcade, that Li Yi was about 25 or [-] years old. He was the same as Xie Jing. Both of them were Xu Kun's confidants. Xie Jing was guarded, and Li Yi was his deputy. However, after Xu Kun took away the army, Piling was sparsely populated and had insufficient troops. Without reinforcements, Piling was finally defeated by Gan Ning's army.

Xie Jing escaped from Piling with the remnants of the army, and at the same time saved the wives and children of the generals in Piling City.

Among them, Yuan Ji and Sun Shao are the objects that Xu Kun specifically asked Xie Jing to protect.

"What do you want to say?" Xie Jing glanced at Li Yi and said casually.

Xie Jing actually noticed that Liu Gan had a problem, but he didn't think much about it, after all, even if Liu Gan had a problem, he was only one person.

"This person's hands are covered with calluses. It seems that he is a person who often uses weapons. Looking at this person's words and deeds, he is definitely not an ordinary merchant. Moreover, the injury on this person's body is quite strange. It is said that he was injured by a bandit with an arrow. , but the arrow wound on his body was not deep. Obviously, the arrow was blocked by something hard. I guess it was a protective device such as leather armor. If this is the case, why would a merchant wear leather armor with him? In my opinion, this person is probably an enemy rather than a friend." Li Yi analyzed in a deep voice.

"You mean, he belongs to Liu Gan?" Xie Jing frowned.

"It's very possible, otherwise, why would this person go with me even though he knew about the war in Qu'a? The so-called guard against others is indispensable, why don't you..." Li Yi put his palms across his neck, his eyes were full of murderous intent .

"This is inappropriate. He was rescued by Madam Yuan. Even if we want to kill him, we have to ask Madam Yuan." Xie Jing said.

"Sun Ce is dead, Madam Yuan is just a woman, why does Brother Xie care so much about her opinion?" Li Yi's eyes flickered, and there was dissatisfaction on his face.

"I won't tell you a lot of things, you don't understand, but I advise you not to ask too many questions, the more you know, the more it will do you no good. I can only tell you that the relationship between Madam Yuan and the lord is not what you seem It's so simple." Xie Jing's words surprised Li Yi slightly.

"Brother Xie, what do you mean by that? Could it be..." The more Li Yi thought about it, the more frightened he became.

Does Xu Kun have some ulterior relationship with Yuan Ji?

Under Xie Jing's reminder, Li Yi suddenly thought of a strange thing.

Yuan Ji is Yuan Shu's youngest daughter, and the reason why she later married Sun Ce was to win over Sun Ce. This is a well-known political marriage.

But the strange thing is that Sun Ce gave birth to Sun Shao seven months after marrying Yuan Ji. Everyone thought that Sun Shao was born prematurely, but Li Yi was lucky enough to meet her a few days before Yuan Ji gave birth. What's more interesting is that Li Yi accompanied Xu Kun to meet Yuan Ji. At that time, Li Yi could tell at a glance that Yuan Ji's belly was definitely not only seven months old.

Li Yi originally thought that Sun Ce and Yuan Ji married their son after a secret love affair, but now that he thinks about the ambiguous expressions of Xu Kun and Yuan Ji at that time, a thought of deep thought and fear quietly appeared in Li Yi's mind.

"Could it be that Sun Shao is..." Li Yi almost shouted under the shock.

"Shh, be careful!" Xie Jing quickly reached out to cover Li Yi's mouth, looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "It's good for you and me to know this matter in our hearts, and it must not be passed on to other people's ears, otherwise the Lord will definitely Can't spare me!"

"My lord is trapped in Qu'agu City at this time, and I can't protect myself. How can I have time to take care of us?" Li Yi regained his composure and hummed softly.

"This statement is wrong. I heard that Liu Gan was killed in battle, but Danyang did not mourn. Think about the situation after Sun Ce's death, and then think about the situation now. As long as the lord sticks to Qu'a, there is no chance at all. !” Xie Jing said seriously.

"That being said, now that Qu'a's army is besieging the city, we have no chance to enter the city!" Li Yi sighed.

"We will not enter the city. I have received a secret letter from my lord. Yan Baihu has sent troops from Yangxian to attack Wanling. What we have to do is to send troops north to take the opportunity to recover Dantu. At this time, Liu Gan's army is all under the city of Qu'a. Dan There are no soldiers, our army can win a battle!" Xie Jing said with a proud smile.

"A great plan, my lord is far-sighted, and I'm far inferior!" Li Yi exclaimed.
