Chapter 254: Will You Come Back?
"One of Pan Lin's men used someone else's name and identity to sneak into the recruitment office. When he was discovered, he attacked and injured several soldiers. Boyan was also injured." Sun Quan did not hide it. "Madam Wang is probably worried about this."

Those who go to war with the army, even civil servants, are in danger of their lives at any time.

Mrs. Wang was already in poor health, and when she learned that her husband was injured, she became even more restless day and night.

"Is the situation serious?"

Asking Lu Xun was also about recruiting soldiers.

"It's all right now. General He has also made arrangements for recruiting soldiers."

He Qi was furious about the spies infiltrating the recruitment office, and punished a group of generals from top to bottom, and then strictly checked the new recruits. Once the new recruits were recruited, they were set up as separate military households, and were treated as one household supported by a hundred households.

Qiao Wei asked cautiously, "Should we send someone to tell Madam Wang so that she can feel at ease?"

Sun Quan said, "This is military business."

Since it is a military matter, it must be kept confidential and cannot be disclosed.

"It seems that I can't go to Baishishan no matter what." Qiao Wei muttered softly, of course she was very reluctant. But even He Qi's army could have an accident, so Sun Quan would not let her go.

Sun Quan was silent for a while, "An'er will be with you."

Qiao Wei raised his head and looked at Sun Quan in surprise.

"An'er, you have Jin'an soldiers around you who can protect you closely. He Qi will also take over your defense along the way. But at the same time, the trip to Baishishan can only succeed, not fail." Sun Quan calmly issued the KPI requirements, "Have you thought about it?"

Qiao Wei nodded, "I know."

"Let's set off early tomorrow morning and protect yourself and Deng'er."

Qiao Wei couldn't understand his sudden change. He looked at his face carefully but couldn't see anything unusual.

"Why did you change your mind?"

Sun Quan looked at Qiao Wei and said in a gloomy tone, "Since your heart is not here anyway, what's the point of keeping you here? I can't figure it out either, who is in Baishishan?"

"Ah?" Qiao Wei was confused by his resentful tone for a moment, "Then Baishi Mountain must have descendants of the Ou family. I went to Baishi Mountain to vent my anger, you know that!"

"Do you have to take Deng'er with you just to vent your anger? You're leaving me alone in Wu County. Are you trying to imitate Madam Ding?"

Qiao Wei was confused for a moment, "Who is Mrs. Ding?"

Which lady in Wu County has the surname Ding? She searched in her mind, but couldn't find anyone who matched her.

"Humph, it's Mrs. Ding from Cao Mengde's family! Didn't you say before that she has a strong character, is a proud woman, and is a role model for women?" Sun Quan said sarcastically, "Why, have you forgotten your role model?"

Okay, she remembered.

Cao Cao's wife Ding was murdered because Cao Cao was greedy for the beauty of Zhang Xiu's aunt Zou during the Battle of Wancheng in the second year of Jian'an. Cao Cao wanted to take Zou for himself in order to humiliate and suppress Zhang Xiu, but he did not expect that this would arouse Zhang Xiu's hatred. He rebelled against Cao Cao at night, and his eldest son Cao Ang was killed in the battle of Wancheng.

Mrs. Ding was already heartbroken after losing her eldest son, but Cao Cao was still unrepentant and took Zou into his family. Every time Mrs. Ding saw Zou, she would be reminded of her grief over the loss of her son. She angrily accused Cao Cao of being unworthy of being a father. Cao Ang had already paid the price of his life for his lust, but he, as a father, did not repent and had no regrets.

She spoke up for her son, but she also stepped on Cao Cao's pain everywhere. Finally, Cao Cao became furious and sent Mrs. Ding back home, hoping to dampen her spirit.

But Madam Ding did not look back. Even though Cao Cao went to Madam Ding's parents' home several times to ask her to return home, Madam Ding still refused to look back. "You even changed the order of the family, making Zihuan the eldest son, which means you don't recognize Zixiu as your son. You can ignore the kindness between father and son, but I cannot forget the love between mother and son. If even I forget Zixiu, how lonely his spirit in heaven must be!"

Cao Cao's eyes were red and tears welled up in his eyes. He suppressed his grief and asked again, "When I leave this time, you and I will say goodbye as husband and wife."

Mrs. Ding stopped the loom in her hands, but her tone remained unchanged. "You can't even cherish your own flesh and blood, let alone the love between husband and wife? You act in front of outsiders, but you don't have to act in front of me."

They have been married for decades, and others cannot tell his true and false character, so how could she not understand it?

Perhaps for the sake of his world, he had to do many things against his will. She understood, but was unwilling to understand.

She picked up the scissors from the basket beside her and cut the cloth on the loom without hesitation.

He also swore a farewell oath in front of Cao Cao.

When Qiao Wei heard about Madam Ding's affairs, she was still in confinement after giving birth. Yuan Langlang told Qiao Wei just as gossip to ease her mood and give her some entertainment.

Sun Quan was also there at the time.

After listening to this, Qiao Wei said that such pride is worthy of respect. On the one hand, no matter how much Mrs. Ding hated Zou, she never made things difficult for her, and only held Cao Cao, the culprit, accountable.

Secondly, I also respect and envy Mrs. Ding for her pride and ability to fight for herself and her children, even though she knew the outcome would not be satisfactory.

The third is that he envied Mrs. Ding for being able to ask for it for himself.

There are very few people in the world who can pursue their true desires without changing their original intentions.

Although Qiao Wei remembered this, he still didn't understand why Sun Quan suddenly mentioned Madam Ding at this time. "Madam Ding broke up with Cao Mengde because of the death of her eldest son. Why would I break up with you?"

Sun Quan continued to ask, "Then will you come back?"

Qiao Wei paused for a moment before opening his mouth to answer. Sun Quan spoke hastily, his voice becoming two degrees lower, "Are you hesitating?"

"Of course I will come back." Qiao Wei quickly grabbed Sun Quan's arm and whispered to comfort him, "If I don't come back here, where else can I go?"

The Qiao family in Wancheng can no longer return. Qiao's father has passed away, and Qiao's mother only has eyes for Qiao Rui and Qiao Hui.

Qiao Yong was a concubine in the Zhou family, and still needed her sister's support as the wife of a marquis.

Her career is also closely intertwined with the Sun family. Even if she wants to leave, she does not have the capital to truly gain a foothold now, and it would not be the best time.

Sun Quan carefully observed the expression on her face and was relieved only when he was sure that she was telling the truth.

"You will leave tomorrow and they will just say your mother-in-law is not feeling well and they want you to take Deng'er to visit her for a few days." Sun Quan still made arrangements. He took off a military token from his waist, split it in half and gave half to Qiao Wei. "So you will leave from the west gate tomorrow, walk to Wancheng for two days, and then change the route to Baishishan. This is the military token of the Wunan Army, they will meet you outside the city."

Qiao Wei suddenly felt that the military token was hot, so he pushed it back. "The Wunan Army is one of the few troops you have, responsible for your personal safety. How can you mobilize them?"
