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

Chapter 458 Chen Deng: Really Fragrance ()

"Main wife?"

Chen Deng's expression became strange, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes as he examined Qiao Rui, as if to say, "Are you making fun of me?"

He coughed a few times and emphasized, "My sister is General Wei's wife."

"Haha." Qiao Rui laughed dryly. It was not uncommon for Chen Deng's father Chen Gui to adopt a daughter as his son.

It had already spread like wildfire at the beginning, and he had heard a little about it.

What no one expected was that this woman would marry Liu Xuande not long afterward.

Now that Liu Xuande is the emperor's uncle, this woman, as Liu Xuande's wife, is naturally extremely noble.

As a result, the entire Chen family also prospered.

Even though Chen Deng denounced Liu Xuande in front of Hulao Pass, they were still relatives after all.

In contrast, Qiao Rui's clan is indeed not worth mentioning compared to the Chen family.

but.
What if?
"Hahaha, if my wife isn't possible, I can still be my concubine. Yuanlong, do you want to meet my daughter?"

Chen Deng looked at Qiao Rui deeply. He knew exactly what Qiao Rui was thinking.

No matter how loyal Qiao Rui was to Yuan Shu, he could not resist the temptation of his clan's rise, not to mention that Yuan Shu was not a gentleman who respected the wise and humble.

Yuan Shu's handling of the Sun Jian incident was really biased, exposing his short-sighted nature, so not many people were willing to die for him.

In battles where he had the upper hand, Yuan Shu could still achieve a good outcome.

Once they fall into a disadvantage, the speed at which morale declines is staggering.

In terms of war alone, Yuan Shu and his half-brother Yuan Shao were two extremes.

As a general under Yuan Shu, Qiao Rui must have known what kind of person Yuan Shu was.

Not to mention that Qiao Rui knew what would happen in the future. Following Yuan Shu would result in his death on the battlefield, his daughter being captured, and his clan being destroyed.

Isn’t Chen Deng, who is now before us, a far better choice than Yuan Shu?
Chen Deng sneered in his heart at this.

A powerful clan? Damn powerful clan!

After a hundred or a thousand years, won't everything turn into a handful of earth?
If it weren't for my lord, I would have died before I reached the age of forty!

Zhou Gongjin, Guo Fengxiao, and even Ma Youchang, who all died at the age of thirty, which one is not more famous than me?

When ordinary people talk about Chen Yuanlong, their first reaction is, "Tsk, didn't this guy eat sashimi to death?"

The few positive reviews are still because of the lord
According to the records in the history books of the fairyland, I have already lost my wise master for the sake of my clan. Now, should I abandon my great ambitions for a mere family and surname?

Qiao Rui, Qiao Rui.

If you really think that marrying into the Chen family will allow the clan to advance further, I'm afraid you will be disappointed.
As for 'bridges big and small'.
Chen Deng thought that he was not a lustful person. As long as Sun Ce and Zhou Yu could not take "Daqiao and Xiaoqiao" as concubines, and as long as Qiao Rui could stay in Guangling, even if it took time and he treated her with courtesy, he believed that it would be enough to break through the defenses in Qiao Rui's heart!

only.
It is said that the "big bridge and the small bridge" are beautiful and charming. He would like to see what kind of beauty they are.

As Qiao Rui looked forward to it, Chen Deng cleared his throat and said, "Taking a concubine is not a trivial matter. Let's wait and see."

"Good!" Qiao Rui spoke very quickly, fearing that Chen Deng would change his mind. Although Chen Deng did not agree, it was better than a direct rejection.

Chen Deng: “.”

Chen Deng did not dwell too much on this issue. He clapped his hands, called two servants, and looked at Qiao Rui with a smile.

"Mr. Qiao, it's getting late. Why don't you let these two take you to rest?"

"good!"

Qiao Rui stood up and said goodbye.

Chen Deng could see that Qiao Rui was in a very good mood at the moment, and even his steps were much lighter.

It's done.

Chen Deng thought silently.

As for what he just said, he didn't believe that he couldn't fool Qiao Rui. After all, he didn't lie.

And judging from Qiao Rui's expression, he must have believed what he said.

Of course, it is not ruled out that Qiao Rui’s acting skills are so superb that it is difficult to distinguish the real from the fake, but Chen Deng is not worried at all.

Not to mention the clan’s interests at hand, the prophecy that is about to come true is enough to convince Qiao Rui.

However, what Chen Deng could not have expected was that Qiao Rui returned to the guest room, lay on the bed, tossed and turned, still unable to fall asleep.

The next day, the rooster crowed at the dawn.

Qiao Rui appeared in front of Chen Deng with a pair of dark circles under his eyes, and even Chen Deng was a little surprised.

Before Chen Deng could ask any questions, Qiao Rui took out a piece of Xuande paper.

"Yuanlong, I have something to ask of you. I tossed and turned last night and couldn't fall asleep. So I wrote a letter overnight. I would like to ask Yuanlong to send someone to deliver the letter to my daughter and take her to Guangling at the same time."

Chen Deng took the letter and read it. It was just as Qiao Rui said. The letter was addressed to his daughters "Daqiao, Xiaoqiao" and there was no secret code.

After a little thought, he nodded and agreed.

It's not that he is greedy for beauty, he just simply wants to see what a beauty of the country is.

As for taking a concubine?

Chen Deng dared to pat his chest and say that he had long since gotten rid of the low taste of taking concubines. Not to mention "big bridge, small bridge", even if Diao Chan came, she would be nothing special in his eyes.

A few days later.

The knights sent by Chen Deng brought back two pieces of good news. The first was that they had successfully reached the "big bridge, small bridge", and the second was the whereabouts of Yuan Shu.
The knights moved so swiftly that it was beyond Qiao Rui's imagination.

These days, he couldn't help but have some random thoughts, and he always felt that he was a little impulsive.

We should take a good look at the total.

Until the news of Yuan Shao's defeat in Jizhou spread to Xuzhou and Guangling.

This lifted Qiao Rui's spirits, and his heart was filled with shock and fear. It was right, it was all right!
Every one of them matches!
Whether it was Yan Liang's defeat to Zhang Fei, or Yuan Shao's defeat to Gongsun Zan, the process was exactly the same as what Chen Deng said!
If it weren't for the things heard in the streets these days, which clearly showed that Chen Deng had been on guard against Yuan Shu's attack for some time, he would have thought that Chen Deng had personally gone to the battlefield!

As to whether it was Chen Deng who facilitated it.
Qiao Rui had never thought of this possibility. If Chen Deng could do this, it would be too terrifying.

If that were the case, not to mention letting his two daughters become Chen Deng's concubines, he would even be willing to let them be his slaves!

"Yuanlong, my daughter is outside the door. Do you want to see her?" Qiao Rui said with a smile.

Chen Deng put down the government affairs at hand, stood up and stretched his muscles, "Since Mr. Qiao's daughter has come, I can't be rude to her, so I'll meet her."

As Chen Deng expressed his affirmation, Qiao Rui took action on the spot. He took a step forward and ran out of the room in a flash.

Chen Deng: “.”

For some reason, he always felt that Qiao Rui didn't look like a famous general.

Is it his imagination?

As for the next Erqiao, Chen Deng was not very excited. A beauty? It was not like he had never seen a woman from a rich family before.
"Fu Jun."

As two graceful figures walked into the house, they were followed by clear and melodious voices.

Chen Deng's thoughts were brought back to the present. He looked at the two beauties bowing in front of him, and his heart beat faster uncontrollably.

Fortunately, Chen Deng looked calm, and his words and behavior were as usual, polite and smiling, and he responded one by one.

Qiao Rui walked up to Chen Deng without knowing when, and introduced him to the big bridge and the small bridge with a smile.

Suddenly Chen Deng felt that Qiao Rui was a bit of an eyesore, but “Big Bridge, Small Bridge” could indeed be described as a beauty of the country.

Beautiful. Really beautiful.

Similar stunning looks, but giving people different feelings.

The big bridge is graceful and the small bridge is charming, and lotus flowers bloom together in the autumn water.

Especially the bridge, Chen Deng suddenly understood what Zhen De meant by "it has grown on my heart".

Chen Deng was silent for a moment, then uttered two words, "It smells really good."

He suddenly thought that it would not be a bad idea to take Daqiao as his concubine.
"Yuanlong, Yuanlong." Qiao Rui was delighted to see that Chen Deng had an intention, but a trace of worry still appeared between his brows. Even though Chen Deng had treated him with courtesy over the past few days, no matter where he went in Guangling, Chen Deng would not complain.

But in the end, it was Yuan Shu who promoted him.

He wanted to know how Yuan Shu was doing.

Chen Deng withdrew his gaze from the bridge. The beauty was a rare one, but he was not a lustful man.

He could see through Qiao Rui's thoughts at a glance.

Daqiao and Xiaoqiao looked at each other. How could these two sisters, who were as meticulous as a hair, not understand the current atmosphere?

The two sisters bowed slightly, said goodbye for the time being.

Chen Deng called several servants and asked them to take Daqiao and Xiaoqiao to the extra guest rooms and to take good care of them without any neglect.

"Mr. Qiao, I have already arranged everything for your daughter. There are no strangers around. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I will not keep anything I can answer for myself."

"Yuanlong, I want to ask Mr. Yuan, where are you going now?"

"Yuan Gonglu?"

Chen Deng recalled the news brought back by the knight. He thought that this matter was not a secret, so he did not hide it. "Yuan Gonglu, I think he will arrive in Jizhou soon."

"?!!"

Qiao Rui opened his eyes wide, his face full of disbelief, and then a feeling of fear spread throughout his body and rushed straight to his brain!
broken!

Yuan Long's words are now being realized step by step. Yuan Shao was defeated. Yuan Shao was defeated.
Could it be that Jizhou is the burial place of Mr. Yuan?
"No!"

Qiao Rui seemed to have thought of something, and he said anxiously, "Yuanlong, how did Lord Yuan convince Kong Jun?!"

"How to convince Kong Jun? You have to ask Yan Xiang." Chen Deng said that Qiao Rui was a little surprised, and at the same time, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Yan Xiang, Yan Xiang, a rare upright talent under Yuan Gonglu. If it were according to the original context, when Yuan Gonglu became emperor, it would be the time for you to flee. I just don't know what will happen this time.

"Snapped!"

Qiao Rui was so angry that he slapped the table and shouted, "Yan Xiang is stupid, stupid!"

"Why don't you try to persuade Lord Yuan?!"

Qiao Rui was so anxious that he paced back and forth.

After a moment, he suddenly made up his mind. He lowered his head towards Chen Deng, as if he was going to bow.

Fortunately, Chen Deng was quick to act. He held Qiao Rui's arm steadily, with a puzzled look on his face, "Mr. Qiao, what are you doing? Why do you have to perform such a grand ceremony? If you have any questions, you can just ask directly."

Chen Deng's words were so sincere that Qiao Rui had to look up. With a guilty look on his face, he said to Chen Deng in an almost pleading tone, "Master Chen, I have a favor to ask of you."

"What's the matter?"

"I want to write a letter to Lord Yuan. Please ask Lord Chen to send someone to deliver it." As if afraid that Chen Deng would misunderstand, Qiao Rui tried his best to explain: "Lord Chen, don't worry. I won't disclose the things you mentioned to me. I just want to... just want to persuade Lord Yuan to stay away from Jizhou as soon as possible."

After saying this, Qiao Rui lowered his head dejectedly, closed his eyes, and waited for Chen Deng's words.

However, Qiao Rui's heart was not as calm as he appeared on the outside. Chen Deng lowered his head and could see Qiao Rui's trembling hands.

Without much thought, Chen Deng immediately gave his thoughts, "So that's it. I agree."

"Alas," Qiao Rui sighed. He knew that Chen Deng would not agree so easily.
Hmm? Wait a minute?

What did Yuanlong say just now? !

Qiao Rui immediately opened his eyelids and looked at Chen Deng in disbelief, "Yuanlong, what...what did you say?"

"Of course I agree. What's the matter, Mr. Qiao?"

"This is you. Me."

For a moment, Qiao Rui didn't know what to say. He never expected that Chen Deng would agree so readily. Could it be that his daughter played a role? ? ?

"Ok?"

Chen Deng always felt that Qiao Rui was framing him, but he didn't care.

In his opinion, it was just Qiao Rui writing a letter to Yuan Shu. Even if Qiao Rui told Yuan Shu the prophecy of the immortal a few days ago, so what?

Is it that Yuan Shu has no good generals and capable ministers under his command?

There must be.

For example, Yan Xiang, and another example is Qiao Rui.

Although Qiao Rui cared about his clan, he was at least loyal. Yan Xiang, needless to say, wanted to stop Yuan Shu from becoming emperor even in the face of death.

People in later generations all said that Liu Chan was a hopeless person, and he thought Yuan Shu was the one who was hopeless.

With the support of Yuan family, he has ended up in such a state, which is really ridiculous!
What would happen if Qiao Rui sent the letter?
Chen Deng could guess Yuan Shu's reaction. He would definitely be furious and curse at the letter.

However, Chen Deng would not point these words out in front of Qiao Rui. He smiled and said, "Mr. Qiao, maybe you and I will be a family in the future."

"Yuanlong." Qiao Rui was deeply moved.

A few days later, Qiao Rui's handwritten letter was delivered to Yuan Shu by express delivery.

Yuan Shu was still a little puzzled as to why the person who delivered the letter had a Xuzhou accent.

When he opened the cover and saw the words on Qiao Rui's letter, he was so angry that he was fuming.

"Damn it! It's really damned!"

"Great, great, what a great Qiao Rui!"

"I originally thought it was strange. Why was the person who delivered the letter from Xuzhou?"

"So, it turns out that Qiao Rui has joined forces with Chen Yuanlong! I've been waiting for a conspiracy from both inside and outside!"

"Now you've sent me a letter urging me to return to Huainan!"

"Damn it, damn it, it makes me so angry!"

The more Yuan Shu thought about it, the angrier he became. He wanted to send out knights to hunt down the messenger, but fortunately Yan Xiang spoke up to stop him this time.

"Mingsir, can you let me take a look?"

Hearing this, Yuan Shu casually threw the letter to Yan Xiang.

When Yan Xiang took the letter and read it, his already bitter expression became even more bitter.

It is not difficult to see from the letters that Qiao Rui is inclined towards Chen Deng.

He didn't know how Chen Deng convinced Qiao Rui, but Qiao Rui was definitely not a spy.

As for why you didn't give any advice
Yan Xiang also figured it out. Yuan Shu was unreasonable when he was angry, so it was useless for him to talk.

More importantly, he discovered that Qiao Rui also advised Yuan Shu to withdraw his troops.
Retreating or surrendering to the court is undoubtedly the best option.
But he was somewhat confused as to why Chen Deng was willing to deliver Qiao Rui's letter to the army?

Could it be that Chen Yuanlong had guessed what Ming Gong had done?
Yan Xiang immediately thought of this possibility. If this was true, it would not be surprising to lose to Chen Deng.
At the same time, he also discovered that Qiao Rui's "denunciation" of him in the letter was all blaming him for not stopping Yuan Shu?!

Yan Xiang cried out in his heart that he was wronged. It was not that he didn't want to, but he had invested too much and Yuan Shu was reluctant to let him go. What else could he do?
