When Ji Han and his men traveled to the Three Kingdoms crew

Chapter 457 Chen Deng, do you want a wife or not? (Four thousand)

Seeing Qiao Rui's expression of disbelief, Chen Deng raised his eyebrows.

Just now he was just trying to trick Qiao Rui, but he actually tricked him?

Chen Deng once learned in the fairyland that he would repel Sun Ce's invasion in the near future.

It just so happened that Sun Ce's younger brother, Sun Quan, was the king of the Wu Kingdom, one of the Three Kingdoms in the future.

Therefore, he cares extremely about Sun Ce.

Whether in the fairyland or in the Han Dynasty, Chen Deng was searching for matters related to Sun Ce.

'Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao' are naturally among them.

As for "Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao", Chen Deng's biggest impression was that the damn Cao Mengde wanted to win the "two Qiaos" to the southeast, which fully demonstrated his habit of loving other people's wives. Chen Deng expressed contempt for this.

At first, he thought that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu married "Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao" for the purpose of political marriage.

However, after some searching and consultation in the fairyland, he realized that he might have overthought.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu did not take women, but accepted them. It seemed that they had no political purpose in winning over the local powerful families, but they were just greedy for the beauty of "Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao".

His memory was pulled back to a few years ago, when he could still travel to the fairyland through deep sleep.

"Soon after, Ce wanted to take Jingzhou, and appointed Yu as the Central Guard General, and made him the governor of Jiangxia, to help him attack Wan and capture it. At that time, he got the two daughters of Qiao Gong, both of whom were beauties. Ce married the elder Qiao, and Yu married the younger Qiao."

Zhen De's words seemed to echo in my ears, and it seemed as if it happened not long ago, as if it was yesterday.

From what Zhen Dao relayed, we can learn that after Sun Ce and Zhou Yu captured Wancheng in Lujiang County, they discovered that the local "Qiao Gong" had two daughters, both of whom were extremely beautiful, so they took them as concubines.

Chen Deng thought to himself that Director Zhen had also mentioned, "Sun Ce was joking with Zhou Yu. Mr. Qiao's two daughters suffered a lot from the war and displacement, but now they have us sons-in-law, so they can be thankful."

“The suffering of war and displacement.”

As early as when he heard Zhen De's retelling, Chen Deng grasped the key point.

A pair of beautiful sisters were able to stay in Wancheng without being disturbed by others. Either they were married to other people, or they were protected by their fathers, brothers and clansmen, or the identity of "Qiaogong" was not simple, and Wancheng had an old friend of "Qiaogong".
Judging from Sun Bofu's words and actions, the possibility of the first two guesses is very small.

'Big Bridge, Small Bridge' suffered from the pain of war and displacement. If the protection of fathers, brothers and clansmen existed, how could they have suffered from displacement?

If she had been married, how could Sun Bofu have joked that he and Zhou Gongjin were the sons-in-law of "Qiao Gong"?

Perhaps the third guess is the most likely.

Chen Deng, who realized that he had arrested the wrong person, suddenly had an idea that Qiao Rui was a rare famous general under Yuan Shu.

Judging from the time of his death, his age, and his experience, he is very likely the father of “Big Bridge and Small Bridge”!
Qiao Rui is also famous in Yangzhou. If you want to deceive this person... bah, you should appeal to his emotions and reason to convince "Mr. Qiao"!

Chen Deng had made up his mind and was ready to act immediately, but he had no idea how to do it.
After just a moment of thought, Chen Deng had a plan in his mind. Whenever he was undecided, he would say that a god had spoken to him in his dream. This trick worked every time!
"How on earth do you know my daughter? Why do you mention my daughter again!" Qiao Rui was extremely anxious. He was originally staying well in the army, but suddenly several men in black jumped out.

The men in black moved swiftly. They took out a wooden stick and knocked him unconscious. Then they tied him up tightly and carried him away. Even the inky night could not stop them.

What exactly are these strangers up to?!

Could it be that she just looked at him from a high position and said, "Mr. Qiao, do you have two daughters?"

absurd!

Deliberately mentioning his daughter must be a sinister intention!

The most abominable thing is, why don't you speak? Why don't you speak!

Qiao Rui's eyes widened, his heart pounding in his chest. If looks could kill, Chen Deng would have died hundreds of times already!
"Mr. Qiao, listen to me carefully." Chen Deng smiled at Qiao Rui, then waved at the assassins, "Why don't you untie Mr. Qiao?"

The assassins did not hesitate to follow Chen Deng's order. One of them stepped forward to untie Qiao Rui, while the others stood guard beside Chen Deng.
"The name of Mr. Qiao is well-known. How could Mr. Qiao hurt me? You don't have to panic."

After these words were spoken, the assassins took a few steps back.

It’s not that Chen Deng is careless. He has made sufficient preparations long ago. After all, his original target is Sun Ce. How could he dare to be careless facing Sun Ce?
But there are still some differences between ideas and reality.

Sun Ce turned into Qiao Rui. Although he didn't describe Qiao Rui's bravery in detail, he at least had a rough idea of ​​it.

What was Qiao Rui's fate in the novel?
Within three moves, he was beheaded by Xiahou Dun!
Even though Xiahou Dun was brave and valiant, Qiao Rui didn't even have the strength to defend himself.
Moreover, since he gave up river fish, Chen Deng has been practicing the "Five Animal Exercises" diligently. To this day, he feels much more relaxed all over and has endless energy. Not to mention that in the fairyland afterlife, Zhang Fei took his arm and taught him all the "Gu Ying Method".

After Liu Bei heard about this, he showed him the "Gu Ying Fa" and patiently explained to him any questions he had.

In this case, how could Chen Deng not practice diligently?
After all, this was instructed by the lord himself!

The swordsmanship I learned from my lord, can't it stabilize an exhausted Qiao Rui? !

Now that he couldn't even withstand three moves from Xiahou Dun, Chen Deng wanted to find a piece of tofu and hit himself to death!
"Humph!"

Qiao Rui shook his sleeves, with a proud face, and slowly sat down amid Chen Deng's respectful words.

"So, you are Chen Yuanlong?" After learning Chen Deng's name, Qiao Rui's anger surged up again, and his beard was shaking with anger. "Mr. Yuan and Zuo Rong have an agreement, and even Governor Tao has nodded in agreement. We are going to pass through Xuzhou and go north to support the Governor of Jizhou. Why are you stopping us?!"

However, to Qiao Rui's surprise, Chen Deng looked confused.

"Ah? Qiao Gong, what are you talking about?"

Such a scene made Qiao Rui so angry that his teeth itched. If he had not had a sword at his waist and armor on his body, he would have exploded long ago!

"Okay, okay, what a great Chen Yuanlong! Since you don't want to talk about it, why do you treat me like this? A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated!"

"Wait a minute, Mr. Qiao! I didn't mean to deceive you. Could there be any misunderstanding between us? There is no way that Zuo Rong can convince Lord Tao to agree to let Yuan Gonglu borrow the road!"

"Um?!"

Qiao Rui's brows were twisted into a knot. His first reaction was that Chen Deng was lying to him, but when he saw Chen Deng's expression clearly, he had already stood up in a hurry, looking anxious and trying to clear up the misunderstanding.

Another thought came to his mind: Could it be that he really misunderstood Chen Deng?

Ridiculous, too ridiculous!
Qiao Rui rejected this idea immediately, but he himself did not realize that his subsequent tone had become much softer than at the beginning.

"What do you mean?"

"Ugh."

Chen Deng stood up and sighed. He paced back and forth, as if he was hesitating whether to speak or not. Finally, he made up his mind and revealed the truth to Qiao Rui, "I wonder if Mr. Qiao knows about the prophecy that has been circulating in Xuzhou in recent days?"

"Prophecy?" Qiao Rui was not unfamiliar with this word. Yuan Shu often recited prophecies, which was no secret in the army.

But what does it have to do with prophecies?
Qiao Rui pricked up his ears. He wanted to hear what Chen Deng was up to!

"This prophecy is incredible. Everyone in Xuzhou has heard it. The prophecy says there is a Cao in the north and a Yuan in the south. Cao is a tiger, Yuan is a jackal, and Xuzhou is fish meat!"

Qiao Rui finally understood what Chen Deng meant. What he meant was that a man named Yuan in the south would compete with a man named Cao in the north for Xuzhou, and Xuzhou would then be in chaos!

No matter whether it is the great families or the common people, no one wants to see Xuzhou in chaos. Cao is still to be determined, but Yuan
Qiao Rui fell silent. Isn't this referring to Yuan Shu by name?
Chen Deng continued to speak, lowering his head and sighing, "So, in order to avoid disaster, we have prepared our weapons and gathered the people together so that we can have a good night's sleep!"

“.”Qiao Rui opened his mouth. He wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn’t squeeze them out.

So Chen Yuanlong is innocent?

Is the fault with Zuo Rong?

And slow!

If that's the case, why did Zuo Rong readily agree? !
Could it be that this person wants to make some money for free? !

While Qiao Rui was brainstorming, Chen Deng said, "This is not just my opinion. You might as well ask the people in the city."

"." Qiao Rui believed Chen Deng's words 70%. It was because what Chen Deng said was reasonable and logical. As a governor, it was no problem for him to take precautions. Besides, the Han people were easy to believe prophecies, especially such warning prophecies.

Moreover, he was also aware of the moral character of Yuan Shu's army. Although they said they were passing through Xuzhou, Xuzhou was a rich place after all, and no one could guarantee that Yuan Shu was just passing through.
A warehouse full of gold, silver and treasures is now open to the public. Who wouldn’t be tempted?

It seems to be true.
Of course, there is also the factor of Chen Deng. Chen Deng's expression does not seem fake at all. It is indeed a true expression of his true feelings.
but
Qiao Rui's relaxed brows knitted up again, and he asked, "If that's the case, Chen Yuanlong, why did you tie me up? And why did you mention my daughter?"

"Mr. Qiao, this is not what I want!"

"When we talk about this, we have to talk about prophecies."

"Ever since the story of Cao Yuan spread, I have been tracing the source of this matter."

"This chase is incredible!"

Chen Deng lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "Mr. Qiao, do you know who I met?"

"Oh? Who?" Qiao Rui became interested.

Even though Chen Deng lowered his voice, Qiao Rui could hear the excitement that could not be concealed in Chen Deng's words.

"Immortal! It's an immortal!"

"?"

Qiao Rui felt his head buzzing. Immortal? What a familiar yet strange word. The First Emperor had been searching for immortals but failed to find one. How could Chen Deng have met an immortal?

How could Chen Yuanlong be so lucky?

Qiao Rui's Adam's apple rolled and he swallowed. He asked in a mysterious way, "What does the immortal look like? Is there any elixir that can make you immortal?"

Chen Deng seemed to be immersed in his own world, his words were full of emotion, as if he was a prodigal son who had been away for a long time and could no longer find his way home.

"The immortal's surname is Zhen, and he has short hair."

"The immortals' residence is unprecedentedly bustling. What is running on the ground is not a fine horse, and what is swimming in the water is not a fish or shrimp."

"As for the elixir of immortality, the immortals never mentioned it."

"But the immortal did tell me about the future."

Chen Deng stopped talking and looked up at Qiao Rui.

In Qiao Rui's eyes, Chen Deng's expression was still full of nostalgia, but besides the nostalgia, the feeling of not being able to find the way back became more and more intense.

Qiao Rui's heart was pounding, beating faster and faster, as if it would jump out of his throat at the next moment.

If before, Qiao Rui still had some doubts about Chen Deng's words.

but.
When Chen Deng spoke of the immortal's residence, he felt as if a needle had pierced his chest, and his heart beat violently. That's right, that's right! What Chen Yuanlong said was not false! The immortal land, the immortal land must be like this, it must be like this!
As for why we say "big bridge, small bridge", it must be the future event that the immortal will tell us next!
Qiao Rui did not dare to breathe loudly at this moment, for fear of disturbing Chen Deng and preventing him from telling what the immortal said.
"The immortal told me that Yuan Shao will be defeated by Gongsun Bogui, and Zhang He is Liu Xuande's spy."

None of these are important to Qiao Rui. What is important is Yuan Shu and his daughter!
"Yuan Gonglu will be defeated. The two female fairies of Mr. Qiao also mentioned this. Mr. Qiao does not need to worry about your daughter's safety. Sun Ce and Zhou Yu will capture Wancheng. Seeing your daughter's beauty, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu will take her as their concubine."

After saying that, Chen Deng even repeated to Qiao Rui what Zhen De had said to him.

Two bombshells were given at once, shocking Qiao Rui to the point of being stunned. Concubine? ? ! It was true that he admired Sun Ce, but that didn't mean he could accept his daughter becoming Sun Ce's concubine!
However, compared to his daughter, Qiao Rui cared more about Yuan Shu. He suppressed his anger and asked, "Mr. Yuan, how did you lose?"

“I can’t remember that much.”

Chen Deng's answer made Qiao Rui's face darken. "You are so good, Chen Yuanlong. I didn't expect you to be such a lecher! You remember my daughter very clearly, but you can't remember what happened to Yuan Gong!"

"what about me?"

"Mr. Qiao? Of course he is dead."

Qiao Rui:.
To be honest, Qiao Rui was not surprised by this answer. His daughters all became concubines of others, so it seemed normal for him to die.

Qiao Rui saw that he could not get to the bottom of Yuan Shu's affairs, so he could only ask, "Big Bridge, Little Bridge." "My daughter, are you okay?"

"Good?" Chen Deng said frankly, "Sun Ce and Zhou Yu both died early. After Sun Ce's death, his brother Sun Quan inherited the family business. Sun Quan led an army of 100,000 and was defeated by Zhang Liao, who only had 800 men, at Xiaoyaojin."

"How much? A hundred thousand soldiers lost to eight hundred people?!"

"Is this serious?!"

Qiao Rui felt terrible. This was even more ridiculous than anything a child could say!

"Of course, I swear there is absolutely no falsehood!" Chen Deng said from the bottom of his heart that there was not a single lie in the two sentences he just said, he just omitted some content, and what Qiao Rui thought was none of his business.

Qiao Rui fell silent again. Sun Ce and Zhou Yu died early, so his daughter had to remain a widow? It would be fine if she remained a widow, but Sun Ce's brother was also an incompetent guy. How did they lose to 800 people when 100,000 men were defeated? !
According to Chen Deng's words, I continued to think deeply. His daughter became the concubine of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu. Doesn't that mean that his clan was tied to these two people? Sun Quan was also an incompetent guy. Wouldn't that mean that his clan, which was severely damaged, would fall off the cliff?

Maybe Mei Zhoulang is different?

Qiao Rui asked Zhou Yu again, and Zhou Yu and Chen Deng knew the answer clearly.

The result was not what he expected. When he heard that Zhou Yu was doing his best to help Sun Quan, he couldn't hold back his excitement.

In an instant, he labeled Zhou Yu as blind in his mind.

Afterwards, Qiao Rui asked some more questions, the most critical of which was why Chen Deng wanted to capture Sun Ce. Chen Deng told Qiao Rui that Sun Ce would repeatedly invade Xuzhou.

After all the doubts were dispelled, Qiao Rui asked Chen Deng again if he could see the immortal again. Chen Deng shook his head and said that seeing the immortal was like a dream, and he would not see the immortal again after waking up from the dream.

Qiao Rui seemed to be thinking about something, and just as Chen Deng stood up and bowed, he said, "It's getting late, why not take a rest."

Qiao Rui suddenly called Chen Deng.

"Chen Yuanlong? Do you want a wife?"

Chen Deng: Hmm???
