Becoming stronger from cutting Hu and Cao Cao

Chapter 295 How Do You Know I'm Watching You If You Don't Look At Me?

Dahan, Wudi, Lujiang County, Wan County.

The richest family in Wan County is the Qiao family.The head of the Qiao family is Qiao Xuan, who was a Taiwei of the Han Dynasty during the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty.

Of course, Emperor Lingdi of the Han Dynasty was famous for selling his officials, so there were not a few people who served as Taiwei during Emperor Lingling of Han Dynasty. For example, Cao Song, Cao Cao's dead father, also served as Taiwei.

However, being able to afford the official position of Taiwei is enough to prove that the Qiao family is really rich.However, there are rumors in Wan County that it is useless for the Qiao family to have a lot of money, because the Qiao family has no sons, and these family properties will all have to be cheap to outsiders in the end.

Qiao Xuan, the local people in Wan County called him Qiao Guolao.Qiao Guolao has no sons, only two beautiful daughters, known as Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao.

This big Qiao, little Qiao is not only beautiful, but also quite talented.Big Qiao is good at rhythm, and little Qiao is good at dancing.In layman's terms, it means that Da Qiao is good at playing the flute, and Xiao Qiao can play in any position.

The Qiao family has a lot of assets, and Qiao and Qiao are good at singing and dancing, so those who came to Qiao's mansion to propose marriage these years can be said to have lowered the threshold of Qiao's mansion by a few points.However, Qiao Guo always didn't like any of these people who came to propose marriage.

Over the past few days, Qiao Guo's face was always full of sadness.Why, because someone came to Qiao's mansion again to propose marriage.If ordinary people come to ask for marriage, Qiao Guolao just refuses.But this time, Qiao Guolao couldn't refuse the person who came to propose marriage.

The person who came to propose marriage this time was an aide of King Sun Jian of Wu, who came to propose marriage for his eldest son Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, the commander of the navy, instead of King Sun Jian of Wu.

In terms of ability, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are both leaders in Wu, and in terms of identity, Sun Ce is the eldest son of King Wu, who can inherit the throne of King Wu in the future.

It stands to reason that Mr. Qiao Guo should be overjoyed about this marriage, why is he so sad?

At one time and another, now the Central Plains is at war.Li Chen, king of Qin in Xuzhou, stared at Soochow. Whether Soochow could be Li Chen's opponent is still unknown.

Because of this, before the situation became clear, Qiao Guolao didn't want to talk about his daughter marrying into the Sun family.In these turbulent times, it might not be a good thing to marry into the home of a landowner like the Sun family.

"Daddy, are you still worrying about courting?" Da Qiao walked up to his father and asked softly.

"Hey, it's still unknown whether this is a blessing or a curse?" Qiao Guolao said with a sigh.

Da Qiao looked at his white-haired father, who was still working on his and his sister's affairs, and felt very uncomfortable.

"Father, I heard that a very efficacious Taoist priest has come to the Qingfu temple outside the city. Is it a blessing or a curse, why don't we ask a divination?" Da Qiao said to his father.

Qiao Guolao is a scholar. Scholars in this era have more or less read some of Huang Lao's studies.For these things of Taoism, they all believe in them very much.Since Qiao Guolao stopped being an official, he really liked to study these classics of Huang Lao's study.

Qingfeng Mountain, [-] miles away from Wanxian County, has a Qingfu Temple on this mountain.Qiao Guolao had been to this temple several times, but he didn't see anything magical about it.

However, in the past few days there have been rumors in the city that a new Taoist priest has come to Qingfu Temple, and this Taoist priest is very effective in divination.

Over the past few days, Qiao Guolao felt very depressed, thinking, it would be no harm to go to Qingfu to have a look.It's best to be able to answer questions, even if you can't, it's right to relax.

"Okay, let's go to Qingfu Temple to ask for a divination." Qiao Guolao said.

Wan County, Qingfeng Mountain, Qingfu Temple.

Who is the new Taoist priest in Qingfu Temple? It is Li Chen's great military advisor Liu Bowen.Before Liu Bowen became a military adviser, he was a Taoist priest.It can be said that the military adviser is a part-time job, and the Taoist priest is his job.

As the saying goes, Zhuge Liang divides the world into three parts, and Liu Bowen dominates the country.Not to mention that Liu Bowen's ability must be better than Zhuge Liang, but he also knows astronomy from the top and geography from the bottom.Therefore, it is naturally easy to get a reputation.

Liu Bowen is in Jiangdong, so Li Chen is naturally also in Jiangdong.Liu Bowen placed the order in Qingfu Temple, while Li Chen pretended to be Liu Bowen's apprentice.Yuwen Chengdu and others are protecting the safety of Li Chen and Liu Bowen from the outside.

Li Chen and Liu Bowen didn't come to Jiangdong for the purpose of seeing the big and small Qiaos, they came to know themselves and the enemy so that they can be invincible.Only by having a deep understanding of Soochow and knowing whether the people of Soochow are of one mind with the Sun family can we better formulate a strategy suitable for Soochow.

At the foot of Qingfeng Mountain, Qiao Guolao's carriage slowly stopped at the foot of the mountain.Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao supported their father from left to right and climbed up the mountain.

Qiao Guolao and the Qiao family sisters are well-known people in Wan County. Those who came to Qingfu Temple to give incense and fulfill their wishes were all locals. Naturally, everyone knew Qiao Guolao and greeted Qiao Guolao one after another.

After Qiao Guolao took Xiao Qiao up the mountain, he came to Qingfu temple. After offering incense in the main hall, the owner of Qingfu temple greeted him.

Qiao Guolao used to pay for the restoration of the Qingfu Temple, so the owner of the Qingfu Temple and Qiao Guolao knew each other.

"Old Qiao, here we come." Master Qingfu saluted Qiao Guolao.

"I heard that a powerful Taoist priest has come to Qingfu Temple, so I'm here to make a calculation." Qiao Guolao said with a smile.

"Brother Liu Dao only counts three hexagrams a day, and today's hexagrams are full."

"It's not easy to say whether this is a divination for Old Qiao. Brother Liu Dao is doing his homework. Why don't I take Old Qiao to visit?" Qingfu Temple Master said.

"So, that's great." Qiao Guolao replied.

Qiao Guolao always liked to visit capable people, and he just wanted to see if the Daoist Liu, who was widely rumored outside, was really so capable.

The Lord of Qingfu took Qiao Guolao and Xiao Qiao to the backyard, which was very elegant.Not long after, they arrived at Liu Bowen's place.

Qiao Guolao specially told the elder and younger Qiao to wait in the courtyard, and he followed Qingfu temple master into Liu Bowen's room.

Qiao Guolao obviously chatted with Liu Bowen, and there was no movement for a long time after entering.Little Qiao knows how to play, chasing butterflies alone in the courtyard to play, but Big Qiao seems much more bored.

"Hey, Taoist priest, what do you see me doing?" Da Qiao felt uncomfortable, turned his head and found a Taoist priest staring at him.

Who is this Taoist priest? This Taoist priest is Li Chen. Is Li Chen looking at the mermaid in his fish pond in the future?

Li Chen glanced at Da Qiao, and said a very philosophical sentence: "If you don't look at me, how do you know that I look at you?"

Da Qiao is a girl who is good at thinking. When Li Chen said this, although she felt awkward, she felt that it was very reasonable.This kind of truth is the kind that you clearly think it makes sense, but you can't tell where it makes sense.

After thinking for a long time, Da Qiao didn't understand, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "You looked at me first?"

"You don't look at me first, how do you know that I looked at you first?" Li Chen immediately replied to Da Qiao.
