Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

chapter 543
Da Qiao felt that he was such a failure.

The plan that I thought would go smoothly turned out to be full of loopholes in the eyes of others!

When the two servants left behind by Qiao Rui saw what had happened, they wanted to help Da Qiao escape, but their martial arts skills were not at the same level. The servants were knocked to the ground and subdued by the captain's men before they could even swing their fists. .

The captain asked the servants about their origins, and when they saw that they remained silent, he took out his sword and made signs on the necks of the two servants.

When Da Qiao saw it, he could only say: "Don't kill them, I just said so."

"I am the family member of the Yuan Highway Ministry. It is up to you to decide how to deal with it. Please don't embarrass them."

After hearing this, the team leader put away his knife and looked Da Qiao up and down, "You are quite a nice person."

"Why would a noble woman speak for a slave?"

Da Qiao bit his lip, "They ended up in this situation just to protect me. I can't just sit back and watch."

She is also a bit broken now. Anyway, she has been exposed, and her identity will be found out sooner or later. She might as well admit it happily and save the two servants.

After hearing this, the corps commander shook his head and said, "This is rare."

"What's your father's name?"

Da Qiao said softly: "Father, Mr. Qiao."

The Wu Commander was stunned, "Mr. Qiao?"

"Qiao... General Yuan Shu, Qiao Rui?"

Da Qiao nodded slightly, and the corps commander had a strange look on his face. He wrote a few words on the bamboo slips, and then he couldn't help laughing, "I have met your father twice."

"I have been following Shi Jun to do things. We were present the two times Mr. Qiao was arrested, and we even went up to help Shi Jun get the rope."

Several of his subordinates behind him couldn't help laughing.

Da Qiao felt mixed after hearing this and didn't know what to say.

The captain was just teasing her and was about to explain. At this moment, Da Qiao saw a young man in robes and armor riding up to the horse's head, with several guards behind him. He was obviously of high status.

When the corps commander saw him, he quickly jumped out of the boat and bowed to the young man: "Zhang Fang has seen him join the army."

Lu Xun recognized Zhang Fang as a very capable bodyguard around Yuan Xi and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Remember not to affect innocent people."

"How did the investigation go?"

Yuan Xi transferred dozens of his personal guards to Lu Xun as spies to investigate the origins of the ships on the Wancheng pier. Zhang Fang was one of them. After hearing this, Zhang Fang hurriedly said: "We have already checked more than half of them. We will do it tomorrow." I can check them all.”

He handed several buckets of bamboo slips in his hand to Lu Xun to look at. Lu Xun nodded as he read. At the end, he glanced at him and said, "Mr. Qiao?"

Zhang Fang whispered: "Yes, there are his family members in the boat."

He took Lu Xun to Big Qiao's boat. Lu Xun looked up and saw Big Qiao standing on the boat, looking anxious.

Lu Xun thought about it, and he understood the inside story. He knew that it was Yuan Xi's idea that Qiao Rui ended up as the emperor's messenger, and the two parties had a secret friendship.

But Zhang Fang and other guards did not know these things, because it was the emperor Liu Xie who apparently let Qiao Rui go. Thinking of this, Lu Xun said: "You find a carriage, arrange the manpower, and send him back to his home." The city is in chaos, don’t let him leave the house.”

He thought for a while and said, "Send all the things he brought with him back together, so as not to disturb the family."

After hearing this, Zhang Fang quickly agreed, arranged the carriage, and asked the big and small Qiao to get on.

The two women got on the carriage anxiously, becoming more and more afraid of what might happen. As a result, the carriage returned all the way to Qiao Mansion. Zhang Fang asked the two women to get out of the carriage and said, "You should thank the Army General for being lenient with you just now. That's Shijun's adopted brother."

"You stay in the mansion first and wait for the king to be punished. You are not allowed to go out during this period."

Seeing Da Qiao leave, Xiao Qiao felt relieved and smiled at Da Qiao: "Sister, we have escaped!"

"The other party must know my father's reputation, so they are treating us so favorably!"

Da Qiao hid his worries and forced a smile: "What my sister said is that our fortunes have turned around this time."

"After staying on the ship for several days, everyone is tired. Let's change our clothes and have a good rest."

Da Qiao looked at Xiao Qiao's figure leaving happily and thought that things could not be that simple. My father was attached to Yuan Jiujiu and was a sworn enemy of Yuan Benchu's family. That fierce tiger was the leader of a state. How could he betray his father? face?
When Lu Xun returned to the city and found Yuan Xi, he was talking to Jushu about the internal affairs of the city, and Lu Lingqi was standing behind him in a daze.

Lu Xun couldn't help but glance at Lu Lingqi, and then said to Yuan Xi: "Sister-in-law, this is the origin of the hundreds of ships that were investigated today."

"Although it is not completely accurate, after verification, there should not be much error."

Yuan Xi took it and looked at it, and said with a smile: "Bo Yan did a good job. If these people have no major problems, let them return to their homes first, otherwise staying on the ship will not be a problem."

He turned to the end and his expression changed, "Qiao Gong's family is actually in Wancheng?"

Lu Xun replied: "I heard they are his two daughters."

Yuan Xi thought to himself, big and small Qiao, what a coincidence.

Thinking about it, the history of later generations is that after Qiao Rui died in the battle, his family was taken to Wancheng by Liu Xun. Later, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu captured Wancheng and captured more than [-] people in the city, including Liu Xun's family and Qiao Rui's family. Daughter, Xiao Qiao.

Later, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu married Qiao and Qiao respectively, but Zhou Yu died young and Sun Ce was assassinated that year. Both Qiao and Qiao became widows, and there are no records after that.

While he was thinking, Lu Xun came over and whispered: "Madam seems to be... too worried recently..." Yuan Xi listened and nodded, sighing in his heart, no matter how powerful Lu Lingqi is in martial arts, she is still a girl after all.

I still ignore the other person's psychological endurance. If the frustration in my heart cannot be vented, it can easily become a heart disease.

But there are a lot of things going on in the city right now, and he can't spare time to spend time with Lu Lingqi. If things continue like this...

Suddenly something moved in his mind. There were many topics between women. Why don't you let Xiao Qiao talk to Lu Lingqi?

He said casually: "How big is Qiao Mansion?"

Lu Xun was stunned and replied: "There are probably dozens of houses."

After hearing this, Yuan Xi said to Lu Lingqi: "You should go live in Qiao Mansion these days."

"There is no need to fight now, so you don't have to worry about military affairs."

Lu Lingqi didn't know why, but nodded.

Lu Xun didn't know why, maybe Xindao had fallen in love with this girl?

That's true. Although the two women tried their best to cover up their appearance, it was true that the beauty and fragrance could not be concealed.

That's not right, the envoy has never seen them, right?

Lu Xun's body trembled immediately. Could it be that his sworn brother observed the stars?
The more he thought about it, the more likely it became that his sworn brother had not changed his lustful nature, but he could still apply what he had learned, and use such a profound technique of stargazing to guess a woman's appearance. It was really amazing!

If Yuan Xi knew what Lu Xun was thinking, he would probably spit out a mouthful of blood.

He asked Lu Xun to sit down and said to Ju and Lu Xun, "Although I pushed Li Feng out and asked him to do things like a sinner, there are some people in the city who may be of use to me, so it would be better for me to recruit them directly."

"I heard that Liu Xun still has family members in the city?"

After hearing this, Jushou said: "Liu Xun and his younger brother fled to Xisai, leaving only his wife and one son and one daughter in the city."

"Liu Ye, who is dear to your heart, was in Liu Xun's army and was defeated by Sun Ce together in Xunyang. His whereabouts are unknown."

"Maybe he escaped with him, or maybe he died in battle."

Yuan Xi looked regretful, "It's such a pity. Getting Liu Ye is much more cost-effective than getting a city."

"Take everything slowly."

He suddenly remembered that he was so close to Jingzhou. Was Zhuge Liang in Nanyang?

Have you met Huang Yueying?
Maybe he went to Youzhou for a trip?

But Yuan Xi knew that he had no spare energy to go to Jingzhou to look for Zhuge Liang at this time. After all, Liu Biao had deployed a large number of soldiers on the border to guard against Sun Ce, so he could only give up this idea for the time being.

He said aloud: "Bo Yan will first draw up a list of officials who can be appointed. Early tomorrow morning, he will call them one by one to talk."

The three of them were talking about things, but Sun Li had already driven a carriage to take Lu Lingqi to Qiao Mansion.

He looked at Lu Lingqi's preoccupied look on the horse and thought that Marquis Wen's daughter was much better at martial arts than him, but she seemed to have seen the cruelty on the battlefield and was more easily influenced.

Moreover, her opponent's ears are extremely smart, and the screams from the battlefield will be amplified several times and transmitted to her ears, affecting her mind. Whether she can recover from all this depends entirely on her.

Da Qiao felt uneasy when he saw the knock on the door of the mansion, and asked his servant to ask what was going on.

After a while, the servant came back and said: "Xuzhou Mu Yuan sent him to stay with his family in the mansion. The villain did not dare to stop him. They have already come in."

Da Qiao's face turned pale after hearing this. Things were indeed developing towards the worst.

Even the family members come to live in Qiao Mansion, and the fierce tiger himself will definitely come over. Does this mean that he regards Qiao Mansion as his own residence?

When my father was caught twice, was it because he was tortured and refused to reveal anything, so he offended Yuan Shijun?
Or maybe he learned about his two sisters from his father?
What will happen to the two sisters in the future?
Thinking of this, Da Qiao clenched his hands tightly, his sharp nails pinching his palms painfully.

She bit her lips tightly, and a bit of the smell of blood penetrated from her lips. Now, she must protect her sister no matter what!
In Jiao's mansion, Jiao's mother happily said to her son, "Look, will we meet again?"

"If it has something to do with Liu Xun's daughter, our family will definitely be implicated, and maybe our home has been ransacked!"

She then regretted and said: "Look at you, you are both an official under Liu Xun, how come Li Shu is so clever and has become a county guard!"

"You are usually so stupid that you fail to seize key opportunities. If you had spoken out earlier, maybe you would have been the county governor!"

Seeing that her son was unconscious and in a daze, she said angrily: "You are so muddy that you can't even get up to the wall!"

"At this time, are you still thinking about the bitch who was divorced?"

As a result, her son said calmly: "When she left, she promised to be with me forever."

Jiao's mother was furious, patting the bed and saying, "You disobedient son, she is setting you up and won't let you marry another one!"

"You've been missed. Our family still has a little money, half of it is used to remarry, and the other half is used to manage relationships!"

"Now that you have your belongings, hurry up and give gifts to Li Shu!"
