Han Xiang

Chapter 177 Second Miss's Dark Cuisine
Ordinary warships can only carry dozens or hundreds of people, and seven or eight ships can only carry hundreds of people.

Could it be that Sun Ce sent someone to test it out?Or destroy spring plowing in Hefei?
Thinking of this, Long Xiang frowned immediately. He was not afraid of the harassment of hundreds of people, but he was afraid that Sun Ce would continue to move troops at night.

Sun Ce used this trick in the siege of the city last year. Before that, he followed Qiao Rui to retreat from the Chen Kingdom, and was blocked by Cao Ren at night on the way. Why do these guys like to sneak around?
"Brother, Sun Ce is coming to fight Hefei again? Why is this guy so endless? Do you want to call a few governors to deploy defense?"

Qiao Ni's reminder made Long Xiang calm down. He said in his heart that as the master of Hefei, he should not panic like a child when things happen.

Long Xiang was noncommittal, and explained to Cao Xing: "How many soldiers can seven or eight ships have? Maybe it is a merchant ship from Jiangdong. I ordered Xu and Tang to close the city gate in advance, and pay attention to the fire at night."

"only."

Cao Xing clasped his fists and nodded, and then added: "Does the Tiger Guard Camp and the Craftsman Camp need to communicate the enemy's situation?"

Long Xiang shook his head and replied, "It's enough to have a city defense battalion on guard at night, there's no need to make people panic when there is a disturbance."

"Okay, let's go here."

Cao Xing rode his horse and left, Long Xiang turned around and said to Qiao Ni: "It's almost the end of the day, I'll take the son back first, the madam will be worried if it's too late."

"There are enemies invading, why don't you go to the city to see?"

Qiao Ni stared at Long Xiang curiously, and said to himself that Sun Ce defeated Liu Xun and Huang Zu just now, you are so confident in yourself?

"It's just a few ships. There's no need to mobilize a large number of ships. If there are hundreds or thousands of ships, then I will definitely step up the deployment."

"If they sail at night with lights out."

"It is possible to enter in the dark on land, but if hundreds or thousands of ships sail at night, they may run aground and sink. Sun Ce has the huge advantage of ten thousand ships, so he can attack me in Hefei in a fair manner. Why take the risk of sailing at night?"

"Oh I got it"

Qiao Ni was quickly persuaded. Long Xiang relieved the little tension in his heart at the same time as he relieved the other party. He said that Sun Ce had never been there this year in history. If he really came to Hefei to die, he would let Sun Ce go and never return. .

The real overlord has never been to Jiangdong, how can the fake overlord let you go back?

While sending Qiao Ni back, Long Xiang sent his entourage to invite Lu Su. He can be calm in front of others, but there must be emergency plans prepared.

On the map I looked at when I went out just now, the road Liu Bei fled from Guangling to Huainan was also the road that Long Xiang joined Chen Deng.

Although there was no recommendation from Liu Bei, Long Xiang was ready to make friends with Chen Deng. If Sun Ce dared to attack his own Hefei, he would ask someone to lobby Chen Deng to attack Wu County.

Long Xiang had never studied the art of war, but he was very familiar with the strategy of besieging Wei and saving Zhao. At this time, he invited Lu Su to discuss how to lobby, because asking someone to send troops needs to pay a price.

On the way back to Sima's Mansion, Long Xiang's calm performance weakened Qiao's nervous mood.

In front of the Heroes Monument just now, Long Xiang pointed out the maze to Qiao Ni, so that the young man found the direction of struggle when he was at a loss, so he was in a good mood when he returned to the back house.

Seeing that the bridgeman was holding a sword in his hand, Mrs. Chen frowned and complained: "You don't like martial arts, so what are you doing outside with your sword all day? Go to the craftsman's camp to show your prestige?"

"Mother misunderstood, today the Heroes Monument was completed, and the child brought it to commemorate his father."

"It turns out that Yun Qi's move is really thoughtful, and he will take me there on the General's Memorial Day in the second half of the year."

"Um"

At the same time as Qiao Nu nodded, he handed Qiao Rui's saber to Mrs. Chen with both hands, and said solemnly: "Father's belongings are still kept by mother, and the child will not need it for the time being."

"Okay. I'll keep it for a few more years until you're older."

Chen sees that Qiao Niu is not interested in dancing knives and guns, now that she has Long Xiang as her big backer, she doesn't plan to force Qiao Niu to practice martial arts and join the army.

Parents' expectations for their children to become a dragon usually fall over and over again as time goes by and reality hits.

At this time, Mrs. Chen has been able to face up to Qiao's "mediocrity", and she thinks that Qiao can be a prince of peace, and if he can continue the incense for the Qiao family in the future, he will be considered as fulfilling his mission in life.

Seeing that Mrs. Chen shook her head helplessly, Qiao Ni comforted her and said, "Mother, brother has a very good saying, you can't use your own weaknesses to compete with others' strengths. Even if your child practices martial arts day and night, he wants to practice better than Xu Chu. It's impossible to be strong, and Xu Chu is not invincible."

"Huh? The truth is this, what do you want to say?"

Chen Shi was startled when she heard that, she looked Qiao Ren up and down, and suddenly found that her son, who was obedient before, had actually reasoned with herself. Although she borrowed Long Xiang's point of view, it was considered an improvement.

Qiao Ni helped Mrs. Chen to sit down with both hands, and added with a smile: "Hehe, brother's martial arts is not as good as Xu Chu's, and his resourcefulness is not as good as Lu Su and Liu Ye, but they all listen to his brother, so my child wants to learn from my brother's skills."

Chen nodded affirmatively: "I've always meant that, but Yun Qi lost his father and mother when he was young, and was lonely and helpless, which created his current tenacity. It may not be easy for you to learn the essence, but you can think so, mother very happy."

"Brother claims to be the most powerful in construction, and he can use analogies to serve as military affairs. My son plans to learn this first."

"Study architectural skills? No wonder you often go to the craftsman's camp, but Yun Qi is busy with Hefei's military affairs, can he have time to teach you these? Don't end up learning a craftsman's craft, our Qiao family is a general."

"Hey, he is my brother-in-law after all. If you don't care about teaching the children, let the eldest sister and second sister blow the pillow more."

Mrs. Chen was about to praise Qiao Ni for being smart, when she suddenly heard footsteps outside the house, it must be Qiao Wei and Qiao Wan who came to eat dinner, so she deliberately frowned and said: "What nonsense are you talking about? Hurry up and get ready for dinner, we have something new to eat today. "

"What new food?" Qiao Ni looked curious.

Qiao Wei and Qiao Wan both heard the "pillow wind" outside the house, so they deliberately stopped for a moment before walking in to meet each other. At this time, the blush on the cheeks of the two sisters had receded.

Qiao Wei took Chen's words and explained: "My mother asked Yunqi to eat noodles, so I deliberately told my second sister to let the kitchen cook it. You can also try a new way of eating today."

"Noodles?" Qiao Nu scratched his head in confusion.

Just as Qiao Wei and Qiao Wan entered the room and sat down, the maid brought three bowls of steaming 'noodles'.

Qiao Ni picked up the chopsticks and stirred them in the bowl, looked at the finger-thick sticks, and said, "This is similar to soup cakes, but the shape is a little different. Will this taste better?"

"It should be, mother didn't ask how to make it, you'll know after eating it." Qiao Wan gave Chen a guilty look.

Mrs. Chen also brought the bowl and ordered to move the chopsticks, and then asked Qiao Wei: "Have you sent it to the front hall? Yun Qi is probably hungry too."

"Well, my daughter ordered it herself."

After Qiao Wei finished speaking, she picked up the noodles and put them in her mouth. She chewed the noodles and found that the taste and texture were not good. She wondered if Yun Qi would like to eat this food?
