The Three Kingdoms Voyage

Chapter 222

"Those Hu girls are not only physically strong, but also good at singing and dancing, but they are also very coquettish." Sun Shangxiang gave Sun Shao a white look: "You can manage those people well, if anyone dares to board my boat to steal fish, don't blame me Ruthless, send them into the palace to be eunuchs."

"Auntie, it's better to be quiet than to be blocked." Sun Shao smiled: "It's impossible for your female soldiers not to marry, right? According to me, set a rule in the future that they are not allowed to communicate in private, and provide them with opportunities to meet regularly. , Priority is given to meritorious service."

"You have a good idea, and treat my people as a reward?"

"Otherwise, for a male pawn, being able to have a party with a female pawn is a reward, and it is also a reward for a female pawn." Sun Shao said with a smirk: "Auntie, if you fancy someone, you might as well tell me , I'll match you up."

"Many things!" Sun Shangxiang gave him a "duh", turned his back, leaned on the railing and watched the seagulls flying in the distance, but his face was a little red, but Sun Shao couldn't see it. "If you want to be a matchmaker, you should find someone to marry your mother first."

Sun Shao looked around and saw no one was approaching, so he leaned close to Sun Shangxiang, leaned on the railing next to her, frowned and said, "Auntie, have you noticed that Grandma seems to have never recovered. "

"That's right, Ah Li was robbed by someone. It's like killing her. Do you think it was a good two months?" Sun Shangxiang turned his head and glanced at Sun Shao, and then saw that Sun Shao was close to her arm. shoulders, step aside for a distance.Sun Shao froze for a moment, then slapped his head in embarrassment: "I'm with my aunt every day, I really treat you as a man. I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

A blush flew up on Sun Shangxiang's face, he groaned twice, and lowered his head.

"Auntie, you are not normal." Sun Shao said in surprise.Sun Shangxiang used to joke around with him before, but she has never been so shy today, which is a bit weird.

"Don't talk about me, I can have something abnormal." Sun Shangxiang said angrily: "I'm talking about Fengxian, tell the truth, did you arrange those robbers? If you arranged, you are too wicked If you don’t, others will pull you down, and your mother is a little bit wronged.”

"Do you think it was arranged by me?" Sun Shao asked with a guilty conscience.Firstly, he didn't want to expose those two people, and secondly, he also felt that this matter was a bit offending to Daqiao, so he never admitted that he arranged it.

"I think it's very similar." Sun Shangxiang said angrily: "You should give her a message in advance. Let me tell you, you are lucky this time, otherwise, she will die in vain."

Sun Shao was speechless.It's not that he didn't tell Daqiao in advance, it's that Daqiao didn't understand. After this happened, what he worried most about was not his son, but Daqiao, but he also knew that Daqiao is not a person who is good at acting, if he let her know in advance , it is very likely that Sun Quan will see the flaw, so it will be exposed.Having said that, Sun Shao really regretted seeing Daqiao dying.

Hiding something is a big mistake.

Sun Shao was very guilty, and never dared to explain to Daqiao. Daqiao knew about it later, and she didn't ask Sun Shao, but this time the injury was serious. The sleepy look always reminds Sun Shao of his cruelty.

"Don't be pretentious." Sun Shao covered his face with anger, and turned his head away from Sun Shangxiang.Sun Shangxiang sized him up for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said: "Fengxian, Ah Yi is very similar to you, exactly the same as when you were a child. When I was in Jianye, I often had this illusion, as if your mother was not holding Ah Yi, but you. Especially the eyes, exactly the same as 20 years ago."

Sun Shao turned his head and looked in Qian Tang's direction, without saying a word, he never turned his head back, and never said a word to Sun Shangxiang again.Sun Shangxiang was silent for a while, then sighed, and got off Feilu.

The cold north wind blew up the huge sails, and the boat cut through the waves and drifted away towards the vast sea.

……

"Ayu is sick?" Daqiao sat up startled, and grabbed Zhou Yin's shoulder with such strength that Zhou Yin couldn't bear the pain, so he couldn't cry out.With a mournful face, he nodded, "I vomited blood twice."

"Hematemesis?" Daqiao couldn't help holding her breath, and it took a long time to slowly spit out the breath that she had held for too long. She looked at Zhou Yin helplessly: "What is your mother going to do?"

"I don't know either." Zhou Yin shook his head and said angrily, "I think they are all blindfolded by that bit of power. If you really want to reproduce the glory of your father and restore the prestige of my Zhou family, you shouldn't Still staying in Wu country. Our country of Yue is now at the time of employing people. If the elder brother can follow the elder brother, he still has no future? Well, my mother always said that he is better than me. In my opinion, he is much stupider than me. "

Daqiao glanced at the aggrieved Zhou Yin, but said nothing.Xiaoqiao always hoped that Zhou Xun could be like Zhou Yu, but unfortunately, although Zhou Xun worked very hard, the distance between him and Zhou Yu was getting farther and farther.Zhou Xun has Zhou Yu's elegance, but not Zhou Yu's grandeur.On the contrary, Sun Shao not only inherited Sun Ce's arrogance, but also possessed a strategy that Sun Ce did not possess, so Sun Shao became the king of Yue, while Zhou Xun became a poor worm who was entangled in the invisible net of fame and fortune. .

Compared with Xiaoqiao, who is luckier? 20 years ago, Xiaoqiao was luckier. After 20 years, it seems that all of them have lost again.

Daqiao was so dazed that he forgot that Zhou Yin was still kneeling in front of him.It wasn't until Ah Yi staggered over and tugged at her sleeves that she came back to her senses, and with a smile on her face, she took Ah Yi into her arms, took out a handkerchief to wipe off the saliva from the corner of Ah Yi's mouth, and asked with a smile: "Ah Yi What are you playing today?"

"Practice... kungfu... husband!" Ah Li raised her small fist and shook it in a childish voice.

"Practice Kung Fu again?" Daqiao looked at Guan Feng who followed with some displeasure: "Is it too early, don't overthrow the seedlings."

Guan Feng smacked her lips in embarrassment. She found that Daqiao was weaker than her. When she heard that Ah Li was practicing martial arts, Daqiao was unhappy.

"It's not too early, Ah Yi... likes... likes to practice... kung fu." Ah Yi smiled, and climbed onto Daqiao's body nimbly, hugging Daqiao's neck, and laughed haha: "It's warm, It's comfortable, Ah Yi likes it."

"Really? As long as Ah Yi likes it." Daqiao turned his anger into a smile again, kissed Ah Yi and said, "But you can't be tired, you know?"

"Yeah." Ah Li nodded vigorously, then climbed down quickly, stood in front of the bridge, stretched her fists and kicked her feet, showing off the movements she had just learned.His movements were clumsy, but his expression was very focused, which made Daqiao overjoyed and Zhou Yin dumbfounded.

"Wei Wei is back?" Guan Feng nodded politely to Zhou Yin.Zhou Yin hurriedly returned the gift, Guan Feng smiled and said, "Is the marriage over?"

Daqiao chuckled and said, "Yinping, what are you talking about? What do you mean the marriage is over?"

Guan Feng was taken aback, and then laughed again: "I'm really sorry, I didn't mean that, I was asking..." She rolled her eyes, and found that it was really hard to say, so she felt a little embarrassed for a while.But Zhou Yin smiled wryly: "The queen is right, it is indeed almost over."

"What do you mean by that?" Guan Feng was surprised.

Zhou Yin glanced at Daqiao, Daqiao sighed helplessly, and told Zhou Yu's situation.Guan Feng also stopped smiling, and sat aside without saying a word.To be honest, she doesn't like Zhou Yu very much, and she doesn't like the Zhou family even more. The whole Zhou family only looks a little more pleasing to the eye in front of Zhou Yin. Whether it's Xiaoqiao, Zhou Xun, or Zhou Yu, they all seem too practical. , They turned their faces faster than turning a book, Zhou Xun was the worst, and left Sun Shao when Sun Shao needed his help the most. Now that Sun Shao is gaining power, they want to switch families again.This approach made Guan Feng feel very disgusted. If it was in the past, she would definitely have stabbed Zhou Yin, but after staying with Sun Shao for so long, she has learned a little bit of calmness, not to mention the fact that it involves Daqiao. .Daqiao made a great sacrifice for Ah Yi. Guan Feng was very grateful to her and respected her as her own biological mother. She didn't want to do anything to hurt Daqiao.

Seeing that Guan Feng and Daqiao didn't speak, Zhou Yin stood up in disappointment, saluted, and retreated.Daqiao looked at Ayi intently, and Guan Feng was also thinking about his own thoughts. Neither of them spoke. In the simple hall, only Ayi's immature shouts echoed.

"Ah Yi is a material for martial arts, just like Ah Man back then." Daqiao said suddenly.

"En." Guan Feng responded casually.

"I remember that at that time, Gong Jin taught him swordsmanship."

"En." Guan Feng replied casually again, without further words, Daqiao turned to look at her, with some anticipation in his eyes.Guan Feng was at a loss, and it took a while before he felt overwhelmed: "Ah? Ah!"

Daqiao smiled and didn't speak any more. He straightened up and leaned against the brocade pier, squinting his eyes and looking out the door.In the distance, Zhou Yin restlessly leaned against a pillar, drooping his head.Guan Feng followed her gaze and glanced out, bit his lip and thought for a while: "Mum, this matter...do you want to discuss it with Feng Xian?"

"Can I get in touch?" Daqiao said faintly, "He has gone out to sea, who knows when he will come back. He is young, he can't vomit blood, he will leave internal injuries, and it will be difficult to heal in the future." She turned around face, looking at Guan Feng: "Fengxian is not here, isn't it you who make the decision? The secret soldier is not in your hands?"

Guan Feng frowned in embarrassment, and after a while, he bowed and said, "Mum, I'll arrange someone to do it, but..."

Daqiao interrupted her, with a displeasure on his face: "I only want Ayu to be safe, and I don't expect anything else. She gave up this opportunity herself, so no one else is to blame."

Guan Feng smiled wryly: "Mum, that's not what I mean. I mean, if the book has already fallen into the hands of King Wu and his son, then even if you take it back, it won't change anything. In fact, if the Zhou family doesn't want to be humiliated, they It's okay to refuse marriage, if they don't take the initiative to refuse marriage, even if we help, what effect will it have?"

Only then did Daqiao feel relieved, and she thought for a while: "Do your best. They are really obsessed with obsession, so I can only let them go. Yinping, if you finish this matter well, I owe you a favor."

"Aunt, see what you said." Guan Feng said with a smile: "If you have to talk about favors, how many lifetimes will it take for Fengxian and I to pay back the love owed to Aunt?"

Daqiao took a look at Guan Feng, and for some reason, her gaze was a little dodgy, and she avoided it unconsciously.Guan Feng didn't pay attention, she called Zhou Dory and explained the meaning of the bridge.Zhou Dory shook his head again and again: "Queen, it's not that the subordinate refuses, this matter is not easy to handle."

"why?"

"Let's talk about the book first." Zhou Dory analyzed calmly: "According to the principle of time, this kind of thing is better to be believed than to be believed. Everything can only be considered in the worst case, that is to say , we must be prepared that this book will indeed fall into the hands of King Wu and his son."

Guan Feng nodded, she felt that what Zhou Dory said made sense, and she couldn't pin her hopes on illusory possibilities.

"Then why didn't King Wu and his son break up the engagement?" Zhou Bing asked back: "I thought he was waiting for us to make a move, and then provoke a dispute between Wu and Yue. King Yue is away, and Qian Tang is empty. If you give him an excuse at this time , wouldn’t it be delivered to your door?”

Guan Feng suddenly realized.That's right, Zhou Yin is a high-ranking official of the Yue State. He came back from Jianye at this time, and Sun Quan couldn't possibly be unaware. There is only one explanation for why he kept his face. Qian Tang.

Guan Feng glanced at Zhou Dory appreciatively. It is not unreasonable for this young man to gain Sun Shao's trust. He is very accurate about the psychology of both parties.She also didn't want to provoke Sun Quan's revenge because of Zhou Yu, but she also knew that since Sun Quan wanted to take revenge, even if there was no such incident, Sun Quan would find other excuses.

The question is whether it is worth taking this risk for Zhou Yu.

"Is there a way to not only save people, but also get rid of our relationship with the country of Yue?" Guan Feng pondered for a long time before asking with some uncertainty.

"If the queen must save Zhou Yu, there is no other way." Zhou Dory smiled: "However, no matter how concealed we are, the king of Wu will put the blame on me, Yue, so the queen We must be prepared to meet the army of Wu, and the minister dares to fight."

"Then feel free to do it." Guan Feng smiled confidently.

Zhou Dory was a bit strange, seeing that his descendant, Sun Shao, had left behind. Based on his understanding of Sun Shao, it was not unusual for Sun Shao to make such an arrangement. He, the person in charge of secret affairs, didn't know.He suddenly had an idea and knew Sun Shao's intentions.Guan Feng is the queen, and her son is Sun Shao's eldest son, who survived a catastrophe and is a well-known blessed child, so will Sun Shao take the opportunity to let Guan Feng make meritorious deeds, so as to show that he will make Ah Yi the crown prince, so as not to cause other troubles? Coveted by people?

If so, how to do this to satisfy Guan Feng is very important.

"Queen, it will be quite difficult to save Zhou Yu and return to Yue Kingdom."

"Don't come to Vietnam for the time being, as long as this marriage doesn't work out." Guan Feng shook his head, and after a while, he said, "It's best... It's best if she stays in Jianye all the time. it is good."

Zhou Dory thought for a moment, then nodded understandingly.

Guan Feng immediately told Daqiao about the arrangement. After analyzing the possible conflicts for Daqiao, she repeatedly told Daqiao that this matter must not be disclosed to Zhou Yin, lest he be happy and leak the news, which would cause Wu Yue Fighting, this matter can be troublesome.Daqiao knew that there were only 6000 people in Qiantang, and it was more than enough to escape, but it was almost impossible to defeat Sun Quan. Guan Feng was willing to help out because of her love, so he agreed again and again.

……

Yizhou, Jinguashan, Yan Feiyan held the chipped saber, panting and leaning on the wall of the village, looking at the corpses stretching all the way down the mountain, wanting to cry but not crying.Baihu Village is located between Jingua Mountain and Jilong Mountain. It has been peaceful for more than ten years. Last year, by a very unexpected opportunity, the villagers found gold in a valley not far away. This was originally good news. With this gold, the economic difficulties of Baihu Village have been effectively resolved. They can use this gold to trade with the nearby barbarians in exchange for various supplies. Later, they can cross the sea, go to Dongye, and go to the South China Sea to buy those barbarians. The goods that cannot be bought, the life has been greatly improved.

However, no one expected that the gold falling from the sky would soon become a disaster. When the barbarians who were envious of their affluent life learned that they lived a good life because they found a gold mine, they flocked one by one. , first asked for some benefits, and later saw that there were not many people in Baihuzhai and they were easy to talk, so they simply started to rob. He also took a fancy to the location of Baihuzhai, and arbitrarily asked Yan Feiyan to give up Baihuzhai. What's more, Wa'an, the most powerful Yi tribe, actually asked Yan Feiyan to be his wife in the village, and even the village belonged to him.

Yan Feiyan couldn't hold back her breath, and went to war in a rage. At the beginning, she gained the upper hand and repelled several attacks from Wa'an, but before they were happy for a while, more and more barbarians got According to news, they came from all directions and gathered under Wa'an's command. The goal was very clear to rob Baihuzhai, rob Yan Feiyan, and carve up the gold mine.

Baihu Village gradually became unstoppable, and the fighting for several months in succession caused great losses to the men in Baihu Village, and those old people who followed Yan Baihu to fight the world in the past died one by one. After being killed by Sun Shao, Papa Mu lost one of his legs, so he could only sit in command, while the other two capable veterans, Papa Li, had already died in battle, leaving Uncle Lei and Lei Zi alone to hold on.

In today's battle, even the most powerful Lei Zi was injured, his strong arm was hanging limply beside him, bleeding profusely, he looked useless.Lei Zi is the backbone of the village, once he is injured, it will have a great impact on morale, Yan Feiyan really doubts that he will not be able to support himself.

"Swallow, go back and rest for a while." Father Mu's daughter, Mu Zhiqiu, came over and helped Yan Feiyan down the wall.

Lei Zi sat in the corner, throwing the blood-stained saber beside him, his face was ugly, his eyelids drooped involuntarily, as if he could fall asleep at any time.Old Man Mu walked over with his cane, raised his hand and slapped Lei Zi across the face, and shouted, "Lei Zi, you can't sleep!"

"Uncle, I'm fine." Lei Zi grinned reluctantly, trying to open his eyes wider, but he couldn't open them anyway. His eyelids were as heavy as a millstone, so heavy that even his whole body would fall down. .

"Hold on, you've lost too much blood, and you might never wake up again once you fall asleep." Father Mu squatted down with difficulty, checked Lei Zi's wound, and smacked his lips: "This knife wound is very deep, Girl, help him clean up quickly, and then bandage him up."

Mu Zhiqiu responded, and quickly ran into the house, took out some clean cloths, and looked at Papa Mu in embarrassment: "Father, there is no wine."

Papa Mu was stunned for a moment, his face became ugly: "Who used it?"

"Uncle, it's gone a long time ago." Lei Zi forced a weak laugh: "Think about it, we haven't been to Dongye for a few months? We fight every day, and the wine has long been used up. Don't be particular about it. Use some salt water, I can hold on."

Papa Mu nodded helplessly.They were originally sterilized with salt water, but now they are used to using the spirits bought by Dongye, and they are a little uncomfortable without spirits for a while.

"Lei Zi, hold on, show some of our Wuyue manly spirit."

"Uncle, do it, don't provoke me." Lei Zi grinned silently: "Perhaps you can be more energetic after you are stimulated."

Papa Mu nodded, had someone dissolve the salt water, watched as Mu Zhiqiu cleaned Lei Zi's wound, and then wrapped it up with a cloth.Although Lei Zi frowned and sweated profusely from the pain, he didn't make a sound from the beginning to the end, and finally drank another bowl of porridge before falling into a deep sleep.

"Father." Yan Feiyan leaned on Papa Mu's shoulder, and her voice was as low as a mosquito called: "I want to go back, I want to go back to Fuchun."

"Go back?" Papa Mu turned his head to look at Yan Feiyan, feeling distressed by the exhaustion on her face. "Yanyan, even if you want to go back, you have to be able to walk to the beach before you can board the boat. You see, the old and the young in our village account for more than half of the injured. Can they still walk to the beach? Fortress, he will be beheaded by those barbarians."

"Then... shall we just wait here to die?"

"I don't know, and Dad doesn't know either." Dad Mu raised his head, looked at the gloomy sky, and burst into tears.He has fought on the battlefield all his life, and he knows that this hurdle is impossible to pass no matter what, death is only a matter of time, maybe, Yan Feiyan said that leaving Baihu Village and returning to Fuchun is the only way, no matter what, fight for the whole village People's lives, but also to send the lady away.

"Yanyan, get ready, let's go."

"Ah?" Yan Feiyan was taken aback. Seeing the determination on Old Man Mu's face, she immediately understood what Old Man Mu meant, and shook her head in fright: "No, no, I can't go alone."

"Don't go, do you want everyone to die here together?"

Yan Feiyan burst into tears: "I would rather die here with you than go back alone. This is my home, and you are my family. Without you, what's the point of living alone?"

"Nonsense." Papa Mu was so angry that his beard straightened, Yan Feiyan resolutely refused to listen to what he said, and refused to leave alone no matter what.Father Mu had no choice but to signal Mu Zhiqiu to take Yan Feiyan in to rest first.

After entering the room, Yan Feiyan wept weakly at the desk, her close female Wei Baiyan looked at her for a long time, then suddenly said: "Maybe, we have other ways."
