At four o'clock, the rain had stopped, the sky was full of snowflakes, and the first snow in Xiangyang finally came. Xu Shu and Tao Zhan, escorted by more than a hundred soldiers, had already crossed the Han River and were rushing towards Fancheng. .

Xu Shu was riding on the horse, and there was a trace of worry in his eyes that could not be concealed. Li Qing had already briefly told him what happened in Xiangyang.

Although Li Qing didn't know exactly what happened, but Xu Shu had already combined the information of the late-night summons, the emergency return, and Liu Cong's hostage, etc., and guessed one or two, it must be Liu Biao who attacked Liu Jing .

But Xu Shu was still puzzled, why did Liu Biao act so hastily before the Jiangxia negotiations officially started?This is not in line with the normal practice, but rather like the actions of an impatient young man. Liu Biao is obviously not a young man.

What's going on here?Xu Shu is anxious to see Liu Jing now, so that he can know the truth.

In the carriage, Tao Zhan was also pondering and remained silent. While wondering why Liu Jing was in such a hurry to ask them to come back, she was even more worried.

She is the daughter of a businessman. She knows that in business wars, intrigues and ruthless profit-seeking are ruthless. In the field of power, besides ruthless struggle for power, there is also a kind of bloody killing. After all, Liu Jing is only a 19-year-old young man. Do the worldly ones fight?

Today, she stayed with Huang Yueying for a day. She sincerely envied Huang Yueying's life. She cared for her husband and raised her children. She was carefree. She didn't have to worry about her husband's safety in the power field, nor did she have to think about the fate of herself and her children. It is not a kind of happiness to spend this life peacefully.

But thinking about it deeply, why is Huang Yueying's husband willing to spend his life so peacefully? Isn't he going to Shuzhong this time just to find an opportunity to become an official?

Therefore, Huang Yueying's peace can only be temporary. After all, a peaceful and peaceful life is just an ideal of a woman, an unrealistic ideal.

A mediocre man is carefree and indifferent, but would she, Tao Zhan or Huang Yueying, be willing to marry such a mediocre man?

Tao Zhan couldn't help showing a faint wry smile. Since she chose Liu Jing, she should accept his life instead of thinking of changing it. Only following the trend and trying to help him is what she Tao Zhan should do .

At this time, the carriage stopped, and Tao Zhan looked through the curtain of the carriage, and saw five large black ships, and they had arrived.

. . . . . . .

When the last soldier boarded the big ship, the five big ships started slowly and headed towards Jiangxia without hesitation.

Xu Shu cleaned up a bit, and followed the soldiers to Liu Jing's cockpit. In the cockpit, Liu Jing was writing a letter at his desk. Xu Shu didn't dare to disturb him, and stood quietly aside.

After a while, Liu Jing finished writing the last line and read it briefly. When the ink was dry, he put it in an envelope and sealed it with wax.

First hand a letter to a soldier, and said: "Go to Lumen Academy in Longzhong quickly, and give this letter to Pang Degong, saying that everything about the academy is entrusted to him, and I will wait for it in Jiangxia. "

The soldier saluted and hurried away. Liu Jing handed the second letter and the third letter to another soldier, "This is the military newspaper, first hand it to Liu Biejia, the state office, and said that he had just received the letter from Chaisang." Urgent information, the Jiangdong Army has added troops to Peng Ze, I must rush back immediately, and then ask him to take you to see Zhou Mu, and then hand this letter to Zhou Mu in person."

The two messenger soldiers left the cabin, and Liu Jing smiled wryly at Xu Shu and said, "I left in such a hurry, many things can only be made up by writing letters."

"Sima, I just heard that Liu Cong is also on board?" Xu Shu asked in surprise.

Liu Jing nodded, "He will be our amulet all the way east, otherwise, it will be difficult for us to escape Zhang Yun's interception when we go back. Only when Liu Cong is in my hands, Zhang Yun will be cautious and dare not act rashly."

"But Sima should also know Zhang Yun very well. He often does things with unscrupulous means. If he pretends not to know that Liu Cong is in our hands and acts forcefully, how should we respond?" Xu Shu asked again with a little worry.

"So I want to write a letter to Zhou Mu to let him know that there is such a possibility. I have promised in the letter that as long as I arrive in Jiangxia safely, Liu Cong will come back safely. Otherwise, we will die together. I believe he will." Warn Zhang Yun, Zhang Yun has just taken office, he dare not disobey the prefect's warning."

Xu Shu nodded and said with a smile: "Sima is very thoughtful. In fact, Zhang Yun may not be able to react to our speeding up and crossing Yicheng County. He never thought that we went back in only two days. Maybe Zhang Yun is also there." On the way to Xiangyang to pray for birthday."

"Yuan Zhi is right, it's very possible, but it's better to take precautions, and be careful to sail the ten-thousand-year ship!"

Both of them laughed knowingly, Xu Shu sat down, he was more concerned about what happened to make Liu Jing escape overnight, and asked, "Can Sima tell me what happened?"

Liu Jing's face became serious, and he sighed slightly, "Liu Biao is going to arrest me tonight, and I managed to escape from Liu's residence by catching Liu Cong by luck."

"Why is this? Before the Jiangxia negotiations started, Liu Biao was impatient to make such a bad move. This is a bit unreasonable." Xu Shu was full of doubts, and this was exactly what he couldn't understand.

Liu Jing guessed a thing or two, he sighed and continued: "Cai came in tonight and told me that Huang She and Cai Mao colluded and locked one of them in Cai's sword hall. I rushed to the sword hall to find out that they caught Lu Ji. , if I guessed correctly, it should be accusing me of having an affair with Jiang Dong in an attempt to collude with Jingzhou, and Liu Biao believed it, so he committed murder."

Xu Shu sighed: "I think it can only be because of this reason. Jingzhou is more important than Jiangxia. It should be because he found out that you have the intention of seizing Jingzhou, so he launched a murderous plan. Get rid of you, and Jiangxia will return naturally. I'm glad Sima was able to catch Liu Cong, otherwise tonight would be really dangerous."

Liu Jing smiled slightly, "This is because God favors me."

The two looked at each other, clapped their hands and laughed,

Xu Shu said again: "Actually, the initiative is already in our hands. If I'm not wrong, Liu Biao will send people to Jiangxia to negotiate soon. That's when Sima takes off."

Liu Jing stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, staring at the dark river. Xu Shu was right, Liu Biao would definitely send someone to negotiate, and he was looking forward to that moment.

. . . . . . . .

In another cabin, Tao Zhan, Baozi, and Gillian were sorting out their messy luggage. They left Zhuge Mansion in a hurry, and all their clothes and luggage were stuffed directly into their bags. This made Tao Zhan, who always pays attention to neatness, very uncomfortable. , When she returned to the cabin, the first thing she did was spread out all the items and rearrange them one by one.

"Little Baozi, why don't you serve your young master and hang out with me all day?" Tao Zhan looked at Xiao Baozi and asked with a smile.

"I don't want to go to him!"

The little bun pouted and said, "He has a gloomy face all day long, which makes people look scared. He must be in a bad mood today, and I dare not go. I might as well stay here and be happy."

"But who will fold the young master's clothes, and who will fry the tea? Since you are his personal maid, I shouldn't need to remind you of these things."

The little bun smiled slyly, "I just know him! Believe it or not, he will come here soon."

As soon as the words fell, Liu Jing's voice sounded outside the cabin, "Jiu Niang, can I come in?"

All three women 'chi! 'Laughed loudly, Tao Zhan held back his laughter and replied, "Come in!"

Liu Jing walked into the cabin and saw that there were clothes everywhere in the cabin, so he couldn't help laughing, "Is this going to open a clothing estimate shop?"

Tao Zhan quickly put away a few pieces of underwear, and only then did he free up a space. He said with a smile, "If you want to be a clerk, it's okay for me to open a clothing estimation shop."

Liu Jing sat down cross-legged, glanced at the two maids who were still giggling, Xiao Baozi reacted, pulled Gillian, and the two maids hurriedly exited the cabin.

Soon I heard two little maids shouting in surprise, "Ah! It's snowing heavily."

Tao Zhan put on a thick coat, walked quickly to the window, opened the wooden shutter, and the cold wind blew in snowflakes.

Tao Zhan quickly closed the baffle and said with a smile: "This snowflake is so big, I think we will see snow tomorrow."

"I also loved snow, especially when I was a kid."

"Yeah! When I was young, I was looking forward to snow the most. In winter, I would lie in front of the window and look forward to snow every day. Unfortunately, there is not much snow in Jiangxia. I am looking forward to when I can go to the north and see the real snow. The vast snow."

Liu Jing walked behind her, pressed her shoulders, and said softly: "In the future, I will accompany you to the north to see the snow, and to the east of Liaodong to see the ice and snow. There is a world of ice and snow with jade trees and Qiongzhi."

"Is this from the heart?"

"Of course, you think...impossible?"

Tao Zhan lowered his neck and shook his head slightly, "I don't know, I just think... I can't see that day."

"Why do you have such an idea?" Liu Jing asked while watching her.

"I don't know, maybe I'm a little sentimental tonight."

Liu Jing turned her body around, faced him, and asked her in a low voice: "Tell me, what happened to you today?"

Tao Zhan shook his head, "I'm fine, I'm just a little worried about you tonight, but... I believe that nothing will happen to you."

"Why do you believe so?"

"I don't know, I just believe it!"

Tao Zhan smiled emotionally, bit his lip again and explained, "Maybe I'm a selfish person who always thinks about myself first. If something happens to you, what will I do in the future?"

Liu Jing's body shook, but Tao Zhan's understated words concealed his deep love for him, and he couldn't help but look down at Tao Zhan.

It happened that Tao Zhan was also looking at him, staring intently into his eyes, deep in those beautiful eyes, there was a tenderness like water, and for a moment, Liu Jing felt a warm current flow through his body, and his heart seemed to stop beat.

He gently grabbed her wrist, and carefully hugged her into his arms. Tao Zhan seemed to want to push him away, but there was no strength in his hand. Slowly, she no longer pushed back, and leaned against him In his arms, he put his face against his neck, his face was hot, his heart was both excited and nervous, his chest heaved slightly.

Liu Jing put his arms around her waist and stared at her with his head down. Tao Zhan's heart was gradually melted by his fiery eyes, and she also looked at Ai Lang infatuatedly.

Liu Jing lowered his head and approached her red lips. Tao Zhan did not refuse this time, she was infinitely shy, and the two finally kissed each other. Liu Jing picked her up and fell slowly on the floor.

At this moment, a low cough suddenly came from outside. To Tao Zhan, this cough was like a thunderbolt exploding above her head. With slightly messy hair, he couldn't help but give Liu Jing a white look, as if he was complaining about his recklessness and letting others know.

But there was no sound outside, and no one was peeping, so Tao Zhan felt relieved, glanced at him secretly again, pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Okay! Let's talk about business, I asked Yueying for you today, see Kong Ming Would you like to be with you, sir?"

Liu Jing stopped joking and asked, "Then what did she say?"

"First of all, Mr. Kong Ming doesn't want to die in the mountains. He went to Shuzhong, but he wanted to find opportunities in Shuzhong. But Yueying received his reply yesterday, and seemed a little disappointed in Liu Zhang."

Liu Jing nodded. He believed that Zhuge Liang had made a choice before, and it was expected that he did not choose Liu Zhang. "And then?" he asked again.

"Then Lu Ji came to visit, but Yueying didn't let him in. He left a letter from Brother Kong Ming and left."

Liu Jing knew that Zhuge Liang's Jiangdong elder brother was Zhuge Jin, so he must have recommended his brother to Sun Quan, but Lu Ji could no longer persuade Zhuge Liang. Think about it, Cai Hao also made a mistake for himself. good thing.

"What else did you say?"

Tao Zhan thought for a while and then smiled: "I invited Yueying to come to Jiangxia. She said that she would come when the child was a little older, and she would bring her husband and son-in-law with her. In addition, Yueying also agreed that she would persuade her husband and son-in-law to come to Jiangxia to see her." Take a look, take a tour."

In fact, Huang Yueying's original words were that when Tao Zhan got married, she would bring her husband and son-in-law to Jiangxia to congratulate her, but Tao Zhan was embarrassed to say that.

Liu Jing also knew that Zhuge Liang was not so easy to recruit, so he had to make a long-term plan, and he couldn't be in a hurry, so he didn't ask any more questions.

At this moment, the boatman shouted from outside the cabin: "Wind up, set sail!"

The boat is about to speed up, Liu Jing smiled and patted Tao Zhan's hand, "I'll go and have a look!"

Although Tao Zhan was reluctant, but the two of them stayed in the same room for too long, it would cause criticism, so he nodded, sat up straight and put a cloak on him, and said in a low voice: "It's cold outside, take care of yourself."

Liu Jing kissed her forehead, got up and walked out of the cabin quickly.

Tao Zhan watched Ailang walk away, and she was also looking forward to the moment of the wedding night in the bridal chamber.
