Soldiers come to the world

The night shrouded the dark river, and the bright black waves reflected the outlines of river boats. Most of the boats were moored by the river, tied to tree trunks or stakes by the river with ropes, and the boats rose and fell with the waves.

Under the night, a fleet of more than a hundred fast boats was slowly moving along the river. This fleet was no different from ordinary cargo ships.

There is even a merchant ship's flag on the bow, and a string of double carp lanterns hung on the mast of the first ship, which is the symbol of Tao's firm, just like a fleet of Tao's merchant ships transporting goods.

It's just driving late at night, and the fleet looks a little weird, but if you look closely, you will find a murderous look that cannot be concealed, and you can faintly see weapons such as spears and bows.

On the first big ship stood a young officer, about 23 or [-] years old, eight feet tall, wearing a tasseled helmet and iron armor, holding a bright silver gun in his hand, with a square face in Chinese characters, with a heroic appearance , with piercing eyes.

He is Xu Sheng, a general of the Eastern Wu Dynasty. He was ordered by his lord Sun Quan and the governor Lu Su to lead an army of [-] people to capture Chaisang.

Xu Sheng's information was very detailed. He knew that at noon today, Huang Zugang left Chaisang with [-] sailors. At this time, Chaisang only had [-] defenders.

As long as he captures Chaisang City, he only needs to lead 1000 people to use Chaisang's high walls and thick walls to defend the city, thus making Chaisang a springboard for the Jiangdong Army to capture Jiangxia.

Chaisang has a profound influence on the master's layout of Jingzhou. It can be said that it is the most critical chess piece.

Xu Sheng felt a heavy responsibility.

At this time, a spy rushed to the bank, leaned on the bank and shouted in a low voice: "General Xu, the water gate opened just now, a boat from the Tao family sailed out, the city gate also opened, and a man on a horse came out." .”

Xu Sheng stared at Chaisang City not far away, which was still one mile away from Chaisang Cao River. He looked at the night again. It was not until midnight, and the water city gate and the city gate were opened at the same time. It seemed that the information was correct.

The guard on duty tonight is called Zhuo Zhao. According to intelligence, he is very greedy for bribes. Since he is willing to open the city gate to release people, then bribery must work.

Xu Sheng turned his head and ordered: "Stop the boat at Caohekou, and act according to the original plan!"

The fleet slowed down even more and sailed slowly towards the Cao River, while the other five boats were dressed as merchant ships and speeded up towards the Cao River. A middle-aged man stood at the bow of the leading ship, he was short, fat and shrewd. Capable, shouldering the heavy responsibility of fraudulently opening the water gate.

He tightly held a twelve-weight ingot of gold in his hand, and his eyes nervously watched the water gate that was getting closer.

． ． ． ． ． ． ． ．

Before entering the Yangtze River, the small boat that Tao Zhan was on slowly docked and stopped. There was a big ship docked in front of him. Tao Zhan needed to change to this thousand-stone big ship here.

Four or five crew members stood on the shore. They put a long plank on the boat. The plank was too narrow to allow two people to walk side by side. Four healthy women, two at the front and two at the back, sandwiched Tao Zhan in the middle and walked along the boat. The board walked slowly towards the shore.

Just when the first healthy woman was about to set foot on the revetment, a black figure riding a horse suddenly appeared on the shore, at an extremely fast speed, hitting left and right with a spear in his hand, and four or five crew members were knocked to the ground by him.

The war horse rushed up, swiped the spear in his hand, only to hear two consecutive terrified screams, and the two healthy women walking in front fell heavily into the water one after another.

The rider turned over and jumped off the horse, and held out his hand to Tao Zhan, "Give me your hand!"

Tao Zhan was startled at first, and had to take a step back instinctively, but when she heard the voice, her heart was filled with joy and surprise, she ran forward two steps without hesitation, stretched out her hands, and held them tightly in the air.

Liu Jing pulled her ashore, "Follow me!" he whispered.

Tao Zhan nodded heavily, and with just a few words and a wink, the two of them were already in love.

Liu Jing stretched his arms around Tao Zhan's waist, picked her up in the air with all his might, and put her gently on the horse. He immediately got on the horse, wrapped his arms around her, held the rein in his hand, and pinched the horse with his legs. He ran away and disappeared into the darkness for a moment.

Liu Jing snatched Tao Zhan only in the middle of the rabbit ups and downs. When the people on the two boats of the Tao family realized, Liu Jing had taken Tao Zhan and disappeared in the darkness. The Tao family suddenly became confused, and someone shouted: " Ninth girl has been snatched away, go back and report to the Patriarch!"

The boat immediately turned around and sailed towards the city.

． ． ． ． ． ． ．

By the riverside, Liu Jing slowed down the speed of the horse, and the horse walked slowly. Tao Zhan leaned against Liu Jing's broad chest, his heart was beating wildly, flustered, but there was a long-awaited expectation in her heart. Pushing him away, I didn't want to push him away, I could only hang my head shyly.

Liu Jing also lowered her head, and gently touched her temples with her face, feeling the ecstasy of being together, neither of them spoke, but communicated with their hearts, and the two hearts that loved each other finally collided together.

Tao Zhan stared at the ground, her eyes were as bright as gemstones, and then a layer of light mist covered them again, her heart was already intoxicated, longing for this moment to stagnate forever.

At this time, Liu Jing finally couldn't help kissing her round earlobe lightly, Tao Zhan trembled all over, she slowly turned her head, with a hint of coquettishness in her eyes, she stared at him resentfully, as if she was blaming him boldness.

Liu Jing did not back down, but slowly approached, and pressed hot lips on her white and greasy forehead, Tao Zhan's heart softened, and he slowly closed his eyes, she was already intoxicated, her whole body was soft, on his arm.

Liu Jing kissed her forehead and the tip of her small nose. When his hot lips gradually moved to her plump lips, Tao Zhan stretched out his small hand to seal his wolf lips, opened his eyes, and looked at him He shook his head slightly.

Liu Jing knew that she was thin-skinned, and it was already the limit for him to kiss her face, and it seemed impossible to kiss her lips.

Moreover, in the Three Kingdoms period, being able to ride a horse together before marriage, cuddling each other, and even kissing the delicate face was already shocking to the world. He and Tao Zhan were already the lucky ones among countless lovers who could do this, and he should be satisfied.

More importantly, Tao Zhan allowed him to kiss her face, which already showed that he had won her heart, which made Liu Jing not happy.

He was so happy that he was about to explode, he quickly helped her to sit up, and said in a low voice: "I am chasing after you, lest you get away, the heaven favors me, and finally let me catch up with you."

Tao Zhan saw that Liu Jing was courteous and did not force her to kiss her again. She was happy in her heart and smiled sweetly, "Without my hint to Aunt Gu, would you know that I was leaving? Did Gillian tell you that I was forcibly taken away? "

"Yes! You have a loyal little maid."

"Hey! If I knew it earlier, I would resign myself to my fate and leave, so as not to be taken advantage of by someone for a long time."

Tao Zhan rolled his eyes at him again, his eyes were charming, and Liu Jing's heart was pounding.

"I will never let you go, even if you go to Soochow, I will definitely chase you back!"

Tao Zhan laughed, his smile was as bright as a peach blossom, "Well! I believe you are a man who will do what you say, and I will give you a little reward because you are willing to come after me."

Speaking of this, Tao Zhan's face became hot, how could it be a reward for him to kiss him, is he a contemptuous woman?This is clearly entrusted for life, I wonder if this stupid guy understands?

She lowered her head and asked Liu Jing in a low voice, "I ask you, have you said anything to my grandfather?"

"Which aspect are you referring to? We have talked a lot." Liu Jing had a mocking smile in his eyes.

Tao Zhan bit his lip lightly, "It's fine if you're not bad."

Liu Jing quickly put away his jokes and said sincerely: "Yes, I have proposed to your grandfather, but he said that you are still young, let me wait patiently for another two years, and he will definitely give me an explanation."

Although Liu Jing didn't tell the whole truth, and didn't tell her the real reason why Tao Lie declined her, but Tao Zhan was so smart, she immediately realized the problem.

My mother also married my father at the age of 14, and my two aunts were married at the age of 15. My grandfather never said that they were young, but when he came to me, he used his young age as an excuse. I don’t know if his grandfather deceived him, or he didn’t tell himself. truth.

A shadow was cast over Tao Zhan's heart. After a while, she sighed quietly, her eyes filled with infinite melancholy. Can he wait for her for two years?

Liu Jing understood her eyes, and whispered in her ear: "I swear to you..."

Before Liu Jing finished speaking, Tao Zhan's soft little hand blocked his mouth again, staring at him with a pair of bright eyes, as if exploring his inner world, "I don't want you to swear, Mr. Jing, I just want to know, you Seriously? Really want to marry a merchant's daughter?"

"I'm serious, very serious."

"You don't regret it?" Tao Zhan stared at him, his bright eyes full of emotion and anticipation.

Liu Jing shook her head firmly, "No! I will never regret it."

"Then... I believe in you, Mr. Jing, and I am willing to marry you." Tao Zhan's cheeks were flushed, but she still bravely expressed her wish.

"I can't let you go, your leaving will make my heart wither, no! I can't let you go."

Liu Jing turned his horse's head and walked towards the gate of Chaisang City along the path, "Now I'll send you back first, and I want to have a good talk with your father and ask him to keep you here."

Tao Zhan didn't speak. Her father sent her away to avoid being involved in the case of Liu Cong's injury, but she hoped that Liu Jing would stop her, so that she could at least understand his heart.

Tao Zhan also hoped that Liu Jing would have a good talk with his father for his own sake. As long as the two sides were honest and honest, they should be able to find a solution to the current crisis of the Tao family.

Since Liu Jing overturned the Tao family's case with great courage in the last Zhang Yun case, Tao Zhan had an inexplicable trust in Liu Jing. She felt that Liu Jing would be able to resolve the crisis for the Tao family.

Liu Jing turned his horse's head and headed towards the city gate, but just as he urged the horse to take a few steps, he unexpectedly found a fleet of ships moored at the mouth of Caohe River. There were no ships here just now.

"Strange, why is it the Tao family's fleet?" Tao Zhan looked at the double carp lanterns on the mast and said to himself suspiciously.

"Is there anything unusual?" Liu Jing asked puzzled.

"The day after tomorrow is my grandfather's [-]th birthday. The Tao family has already ordered that within seven days before my grandfather's birthday, all merchant ships of the Tao family will stop trading. Why is there still a cargo ship here, with such a deep draft, that it can transport a lot of things."

"Maybe they don't know this order." Liu Jing explained with a smile.

"impossible!"

Tao Zhan shook his head, "It's not an order, it's a rule. It's been ten years. No one in Dow's firm knows where it is. I suspect it's a fake."

"Go up and take a look and you'll know."

Liu Jing urged the horse to step forward slowly, and when there were still thirty steps away from the river, several black figures suddenly stood up in the grass, and several military crossbows were aimed at them.

Surprised, Liu Jing pressed Tao Zhan on the horse's back, drew his knife and swung it out, "Ding Dong! With a sound, two arrows were knocked away by him, and another arrow passed over Tao Zhan's head.

Several black shadows came up behind with spears, shouting continuously, and quickly formed a semi-surrounded state. Among them, the nearest one stabbed Tao Zhan head-on. The point of the spear was less than half a foot away from her throat, scaring Tao Zhan. Scream loudly.

Liu Jing turned the horse's head abruptly, swung his knife and slashed, "Dang! ' With a loud bang, the sword split the spear, he pinched his legs, the horse quickly started, and ran a dozen steps in an instant.

Without waiting for the other party to catch up, the horse ran faster and faster, and soon disappeared into the darkness.
