Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 688
Mi Zhen had mixed feelings after hearing this. At that time, she was envious of Lu Lingqi's parents. However, less than half a year later, the invincible Marquis Wen suddenly died in battle. It was really unpredictable.

She sighed slightly and said: "The woman around the young master, the family is really... disappointing."

Mrs. Du was startled and then realized that this was really the case!

Mi Zhen's parents were both dead, Cai Zhaoji's parents were both dead, Cao Xian's whole family was killed, his own parents were both dead, not to mention the Hou's wife, Mrs. Wu, and now Lu Lingqi has also followed suit, so Mrs. Zhen still has a biological mother still alive.

Mrs. Du thought it was a bit ridiculous. Is this just a coincidence?

She touched her belly. When she first heard the news, her first reaction was to go back to Youzhou to be with Lu Lingqi, but then she realized that going back like this would only cause trouble to everyone, so she gave up the idea.

Looking at Mi Zhen, who was still wearing mourning clothes, Mrs. Du sighed in her heart. In this world, everyone has their own misfortunes. It is already difficult to stay alive. Who doesn't want to look forward to a peaceful and prosperous age?
Therefore, Yuan Xi, who worked hard to end the war, was so reassuring in the eyes of Madam Du. Madam Du thought, not only Mi Zhen in front of her, but other women were also attracted to Yuan Xi in this way, right?
Mi Zhen asked Mrs. Du a few questions and found that she had no intention of returning to Youzhou, so she said: "That's good, Madam, let's take care of the baby first, otherwise the fatigue of traveling and traveling will be bad for the body."

"It's getting late today, so let's go to bed early. If anything happens, Madam, you can ask your maid to come to me."

Mrs. Du thanked her quickly and went back to her room, but Mi Zhen stared at the bamboo slips in her hand for a while before going up to the small building and walking to the top floor.

This was originally the residence of the Mi family in Yuan Xi's Haixi, and the small building was also Mi Zhen's wing. Later, Liu Bei gave Guangling to Yuan Xi, and also handed over Haixi, where he ruled.

The Mi family followed suit and gave the Haixi mansion to Yuan Xi, which became Yuan Xi's mansion, while the Mi family moved to Qucheng across the Huai River.

Later, Qucheng was attacked by surprise, and Mi Fang took Mi Zhen to escape. As a result, they ran around in circles, but Mi Zhen returned to Haixi. Yuan Xi vacated the mansion, and Mi Zhen returned to this familiar yet unfamiliar place again. small building.

She dragged her cheeks and looked at the sea in the distance. The winter sea breeze carried a cold salty smell, which made her nose twitch involuntarily.

Although she knew that Yuan Xi would give her a status sooner or later and had already made a promise to herself in private, Mi Zhen felt a little unwilling in her heart.

Although she didn't meet Yuan Xi many times, based on the experiences Yuan Xi talked about, she was almost one of the first women to know Yuan Xi.

The first time we met at that time, Yuan Xi was still unmarried, and she was still in the boudoir. What happened after they met was quite evocative.

But I didn't expect that after saying goodbye in a hurry, after many years, when we met here, the other party was not only famous all over the world, but also married, and there were more women around him.

After that came Lu Lingqi...Mrs. Du...Mrs. Wu... who kept getting in front of her. Mi Zhen sometimes wondered if she was cursed, which made it so difficult to get married.
She untied the straw rope that tied the bamboo slips and slowly unfolded the bamboo slips. What came into view was the familiar and beautiful font.

Thinking of the scene where the other party held her hand in private and taught her to write, Mi Zhen blushed slightly, gently held her chest, calmed down, and read on.

The bamboo slips are very long and contain many things, including leaving Haixi, going to Lujiang and Jiujiang, then conquering Shouchun, returning to Yecheng, going west to Huaicheng, and going north to Youzhou.

But these are only a small part. Later, Yuan Xi writes about the planting of cotton seeds brought by Mi Zhen in Youzhou. From between the lines, Mi Zhen can clearly feel Yuan Xi's expectations for the cotton seeds and his gratitude to herself. .

Although Mi Zhen didn't understand why Yuan Xi had so much hope for this cotton, believing that it would be the key to saving the lives of people all over the world in the future, Mi Zhen couldn't help but smile as she felt the sincerity between the lines.

At the back is news about Liu Bei and Mi Zhu Mi Fang in Yuzhou, saying that although they lost the battle with Yuan Shu's army, self-protection should not be a problem. This time Tai Shi Ci and Lu Xun went to Shouchun to control the Huai River and respond to Liu Bei. Let Mi Zhen rest assured.

Finally, Yuan Xi expressed his apology and longing for Mi Zhen, saying that the current situation in the world is tense and Youzhou is involved in military affairs, and it is really impossible to escape. When the situation stabilizes, he will definitely come to Haixi.

Mi Zhen read the bamboo slips, rolled them up carefully, tied them up, carefully placed them on the table, and picked up another roll of silk at hand.

After she unfolded it, what was written on it was a long Yuefu poem that had been widely circulated recently and was extremely popular among gentry women, "The Peacock Flying Southeast."

Mi Zhen thought to herself, is there anything else that he doesn't know how to do?

However, between the lines of this poem, although it was said to be someone else's family matter, Mi Zhen could see what Yuan Xi was thinking. Maybe he was running around for the world, and the time to meet other women was extremely rare, and it was also like this peacock. Are the men and women in Southeast Asia the same?

As she thought about it, her nose twitched a few times unconsciously.

A disciple of Wujun Dan.

Dantu is on the south bank of the Yangtze River, north of Qu'a, across the river from Guangling. Today's Sun Ce returned to Wu County along the Yangtze River after being assassinated in Wancheng.

But what puzzled the Jiangdong generals was that at this time, Sun Ce did not go to Jianye, where the heavy troops were stationed, nor to Wu County, Sun's hometown, but chose Dantu, who had sent troops in the first place.

That's all in normal times. Now Dantu is only a river away from Yuan Xi, who is facing the fierce tiger. If the other party learns about Sun Ce's current physical condition, will he suddenly turn against him and attack?

But when Sun Ce faced the generals' doubts, he just said calmly: "I am only injured, not dead yet."

"If the other side dares to understand his evil thoughts, I don't mind knocking Guangling down."

After saying that, he pulled out the sword from his waist, shouted loudly, and cut the table in front of him into two pieces.

When everyone saw it, they couldn't help but look at each other with joy on their faces. Seeing that Sun Ce still had some strength left, he was afraid that the injury was not serious!With their anxious hearts, they finally relaxed and left, leaving Zhou Yu by their side.

After Sun Ce waited for everyone to leave, he felt dizzy and his fingers lost their strength. The sword fell to the ground with a clang, and his body collapsed immediately.

Zhou Yu was shocked when he saw his eyes closed tightly. He quickly came up to check. Just as he was hesitating to call for a doctor, he saw Sun Ce trying to open his eyes and moving his lips a few times.

Zhou Yu said in a seductive voice: "Bo Fu, why are you trying to be brave? If you force your luck and blood and poisonous gas enters your brain, wouldn't it be..."

Sun Ce took a few breaths with difficulty, leaned forward and sat up, and then said in a weak voice: "There can be no chaos in Jiangdong now."

"Apart from me, the remaining sons of the Sun family are too young to hold a big responsibility. If people's hearts fall apart by then, all my hard work over the years will be in vain."

"So at this time, I can't fall down."

Zhou Yu suppressed his grief and said, "But Bo Fu, you are now..."

Sun Ce sighed, "I know, the arrows are poisonous, and I don't have much time left."

"But what I am most worried about is Jiangdong Jiye."

"Although Gong Jin is amazingly talented and beautiful, he is too young and not from the Sun family. I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public."

"Right now, Jiangdong lacks someone who can have a high reputation and be able to control the overall situation."

Zhou Yu was silent. He knew that Sun Ce's worries were not groundless. Although he was highly appreciated by Sun Ce, it was only for external affairs, while internal affairs were handled by Zhang Zhao. The power of his Jiangbei officials was no less than his own.

This was Sun Ce's previous check and balance strategy. Because Sun Ce was young and powerful, he could subdue everyone, but his heart was in danger. This kind of internal and external division became a hidden danger of division.

Sun Ce gasped a few times and seemed to have made up his mind. He said to Zhou Yu: "If my body cannot survive these two days, I will entrust my younger brothers to Gong Jin."

"In addition, Gongjin mobilized all the troops in Wu County. Since I am going to die, I have to drag some people down with me."

"When I was assassinated, didn't those people claim to be Xu Gong's disciples?"

"Then just make the mistakes right, find out those who sympathize with Xu Gong and secretly collude with foreign enemies, label them as comrades, and kill all those who can."

Zhou Yu listened until Sun Ce knew that he was about to die and wanted to clear the way for the Sun family, so he had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

While the two were talking, a spy rushed in quickly, knelt on the ground and said: "There is an urgent report from Guangling!"

Seeing that this was the spy he had planted in Guangling, Zhou Yu said, "What happened?"

The spy said: "Lu Xun and Tai Shici under Fierce Tiger have arrived in Guangling!"

When Zhou Yu heard the name Lu Xun, he couldn't help but feel jealous. Why does that fierce tiger have such good eyesight on people?

When Zhou Yu heard the truth about Tai Shici taking Lu Xun away from Jiangdong and defecting to Yuan Xi, he didn't take it seriously. After all, what use could a teenage boy do?
However, later Lu Xun was recruited by Yuan Xi to join the army, and he made great contributions in several major battles. For a time, he became famous all over the world and was unparalleled in the limelight, even faintly surpassing Zhou Yu.

While Zhou Yu was feeling a little jealous, he was even more alert, why could Fierce Tiger see people so accurately?

Could it be that, just like the rumors, he really has expert stargazers under his command?
If this is the case, in the future, when you realize your ambition, from Jiangdong to dominating the world, the fierce tiger will be the biggest obstacle!

He frowned and said: "Just this news, is it worthy of you to report it in person?"

The spy looked embarrassed, "It was Lu Boyan who found me and took a letter, who was going to take it to the general."

Zhou Yu's face froze after hearing this. Doesn't this mean that the other party knew his identity as a spy?
The spy added: "Now that Lu Boyan has been appointed as the governor of Jianghuai, he is already in a high position of power."

Zhou Yu's face was even stiffer. Doesn't this mean that his official position surpassed his own?
The other party hasn’t yet?

He took the letter from the spy and handed it directly to Sun Ce.

Sun Ce unfolded the silk, and Zhou Yu looked over and found that there seemed to be only one line of writing on it, but after Sun Ce saw it, his hands trembled slightly.

After a while, Sun Ce put the silk in his hand, took a long breath, and said softly: "I'm waiting here in vain."

He raised his head and looked at Zhou Yu, "Gong Jin, before anyone arrives in the past few days, start killing people right away."
