Sun Quan lost his composure. He was very worried that Liu Jing would spoil his affairs. You must know that Er Qiao was a very important part of the agreement with Cao Cao. Since Da Qiao involved his mother, he did not dare to act rashly, and Xiao Qiao was him. The best way to express his sincerity, once Xiao Qiao fails, it will inevitably affect his [-] shi food aid.

Sun Quan beckoned to a guard, instructed him in a low voice, and the guard led the order to leave. Sun Quan was so preoccupied at this time that he seemed to have forgotten that he had not given the opening speech. It was not until Mrs. Xie reminded him twice that he finally came to his senses. .

"Everyone!"

Sun Quan picked up his earcup and stood up with a forced smile on his face. The whispering in the lobby stopped and became quiet. Sun Quan nodded to Cao Cao and Liu Jing, and then slowly said: "On this good day , we are honored to invite Prime Minister Cao and His Highness the King of Han to gather together, and hope that today's gathering can deepen mutual understanding and friendship."

Sun Quan was talking eloquently. At this moment, a maid walked behind Liu Jing with a jug and poured wine for him, but quietly put a note on his table. Liu Jing was startled, and slowly unfolded the note. On the note was written a line of beautiful small characters: "Xiao Qiao is missing?" '

Liu Jing looked up in surprise, only to see Da Qiao watching him from a distance, her eyes full of worry, Liu Jing smiled, the smile was very relaxed, meaning that Xiao Qiao was safe and sound.

Da Qiao also just got the news that his younger sister Xiao Qiao went out early in the morning and came to him, but she didn't see Xiao Qiao, which made Da Qiao start to worry. If Sun Quan would not let him go, then he would also not Will let my sister go, my sister disappeared inexplicably, maybe it has something to do with Sun Quan.

The more she thought about this possibility, the more worried and frightened she was. Until Liu Jing appeared, she seemed to grab a life-saving straw and ordered the maid to quietly pass the note to Liu Jing. At this time, Da Qiao saw Liu Jing Jing's smile, seeing his smile full of confidence, made her breathe a long sigh of relief.

At this time, Sun Quan's long speech finally came to an end. He raised his glass and said with a smile: "For today's friendship gathering, we drink this cup!"

Everyone picked up their ear cups and drank the wine in the cups, and the banquet began to enter a state of freedom. A group of dancers slid their long sleeves into the lobby like fairies in the moon palace. Talking to each other, laughing loudly, especially lively.

Cao Cao raised his earcup and smiled at Liu Jing, "Your Highness, King of Han, I respect you for this glass of wine!"

"The prime minister is being polite, I should be the one to respect the prime minister!"

Liu Jing held up the earcups with both hands, raised them to his eyebrows, and drank a glass of wine respected by Cao Cao. Cao Cao asked with a smile, "I just heard what His Highness said. I'm very interested. Could you please Your Highness?" Tell me?"

Liu Jing shook his head, "I don't mean anything, I just said it casually, Prime Minister, don't think too much."

"Hehe! It seems that I am worrying too much."

Cao Cao asked again: "When is Your Highness planning to go back?"

"I came to Jianye this time mainly to visit my mother-in-law's condition. I visited last night. I planned to leave today, but Marquis Wu asked me to stay for tonight's banquet, so I will leave tomorrow morning. I don't know when the prime minister will return to Fei. ?”

"I'm probably tomorrow too."

The two chatted for a few words. At this time, a guard hurried over and whispered something to Sun Quan. Sun Quan's face changed drastically, and he turned his head to stare at Liu Jing with anger in his eyes. Xiao Qiao was killed by someone on the way. Intercepted, needless to say, there will be no one else except Liu Jing, he is breaking the agreement reached between himself and Cao Cao.

"Your Highness!"

Sun Quan slightly raised his voice, restrained his anger and asked, "Why did Your Highness do that?"

Liu Jing glanced at him, still smiling and said: "What does Marquis Wu want to say?"

"My man, why did His Highness intercept him?"

The smile on Liu Jing's face disappeared, and he said coldly, "Is this how Marquis Wu treats guests?"

"No! Your Highness is a distinguished guest from Jiangdong, and Sun will only be respectful, but what His Highness has done has harmed Jiangdong's vital interests. I hope His Highness can return him to me."

At this time, the hall became quiet, and everyone felt the unhappiness between Wuhou and Hanwang. Even the dancing girl stopped dancing and looked at Sun Quan and Liu Jing anxiously, but Cao Cao remained silent. He knew what happened in his heart He was also extremely annoyed about the matter, but he was very deep in the city, and he didn't show the slightest bit on his face.

Liu Jing snorted and said, "I don't understand what Marquis Wu is talking about. It seems that someone important to Marquis Wu is lost, but why do you think it was me, Liu Jing? Perhaps it was Sun Shao of Wujun, or more likely Sun Shao of Kuaiji. What Ben did, or Prime Minister Cao’s subordinates had a misunderstanding, are all possible, but Wu Hou insisted that I, Liu Jing, did it. May I ask, do Wu Hou have any evidence?”

Sun Quan was questioned. He really had no evidence. All his guards were killed, the carriage disappeared, and there were no witnesses at the scene. Although there was no evidence, Sun Quan knew in his heart that there would be no one else except Liu Jing. Because Qiao Xuan went to ask Liu Jing for help last night, Liu Jing was very aware of the importance of Er Qiao, and intercepting Xiao Qiao broke the agreement between him and Cao Cao.

Sun Quan's face was ashen, he said nothing, and he squeezed the earcup tightly. At this time, Cao Cao should have come out to smooth things over and relieve the tense atmosphere, but Cao Cao squinted his eyes and said nothing. He was very happy to see Sun Quan and Liu Jing turn their faces.

The elder sitting at the bottom smiled and got up to smooth things over and said, "Marquis Wu drank too much, please don't blame your Highness, King of Han. I offer you a glass of wine as an apology."

Sun Quan finally calmed down. He also realized that he still had something in Liu Jing's hands. He couldn't really turn against Liu Jing. He immediately apologized: "I really drank too much. I don't know what I'm talking about. Please forgive me, Your Highness!"

A mocking smile floated on Liu Jing's face, he raised his earcup and said, "Of course I don't care, in fact, I don't even know what Marquis Wu is talking about?"

"I don't know what's best, keep drinking!"

Sun Quan waved his hand, the music started again, and the dancers danced again, but the incident had already happened, and it was impossible for everyone to pretend to be ignorant. There were whispers in the lobby again, discussing it in a low voice. At this time, Liu Jing asked Da Qiao winked and said with a smile: "I'm leaving tomorrow and I want to say goodbye to Madam Wu. I wonder if Madam can take me there?"

Da Qiao understood Liu Jing's meaning, her younger sister Xiao Qiao was missing, Sun Quan wanted to explain to Cao Cao, maybe she would make up her own mind, she also became a little nervous, stood up and saluted, "I would like to serve Your Highness!"

Liu Jing drank the wine in his ear cup and said to Sun Quan with a smile: "I'll go to Changgan Palace first, and say goodbye to the old lady before she rests, and I'll be right back!"

After finishing speaking, he smiled and nodded to Cao Cao, then got up and strode out of the hall. Although Da Qiao felt that something was wrong, she still mustered up her courage and followed Liu Jing to leave quickly. There was a lot of discussion in the hall. This is so surprising. Liu Jing actually took Da Qiao away. Although the excuse was to visit the old lady, anyone with a discerning eye knew that this was just an excuse. Everyone began to realize that the quarrel between Sun Quan and Liu Jing was likely to be related to Er Qiao was related, Zhang Zhao also understood somewhat, it must be Liu Jing who intercepted Xiao Qiao.

At this moment, Cao Cao said with an unhurried smile, "Drink slowly, Marquis Wu. I'll go change and return in a moment."

Cao Cao got up and left from the side door. Sun Quan's face was extremely ugly. He never thought that Liu Jing would be so bold and reckless, and dared to take Da Qiao away at the banquet. What's the difference between the rascals on the street, Sun Quan couldn't bear it, and said, 'Bang! 'He punched the table, everyone was shocked

Cao Cao withdrew from the side door, and ordered the guards who followed him: "Go and tell General Xu, order him to intercept Liu Jing and not allow him to board the ship!"

Cao Cao didn't necessarily want to intercept Da Qiao, but directly aimed at Liu Jing. Since Liu Jing had turned against Sun Quan, he could do some things that Sun Quan was inconvenient to do. Detaining Liu Jing in Jiangdong was more in line with Cao Cao's wishes. Benefit.

The guards left quickly, Cao Cao pondered for a moment, and then returned to the lobby unhurriedly, he was not worried, he believed that Sun Quan would give himself an explanation for the food aid

Liu Jing led Da Qiao out of the hall quickly, Da Qiao took two steps quickly, followed up and said, "Your Highness, it's not good to leave like this!"

She had never done such a deviant thing, she was a little worried, it seemed very rude and absurd, Liu Jing stopped, looked at her and said: "If you want to spend the night on Cao Cao's boat tonight, Then go back, I won't force you."

Da Qiao was taken aback for a while, then she lowered her head and whispered, "I am willing to follow Your Highness!"

"Then go!"

Liu Jing turned around and continued to go out of the palace. This time Da Qiao followed him closely with her long skirt on her hands. She wanted to ask Xiao Qiao several times, but couldn't open it. It was not because of any inconvenience, but because Liu Jing She walked too fast, she couldn't keep up, "Your Highness, wait for me." Da Qiao panted.

Liu Jing saw a black shadow rushing towards Cao Cao's parking place, so he knew that Cao Cao was going to attack. He only had more than fifty guards, and Cao Cao brought at least a few hundred people. In a fight, he may not be able to retreat unscathed.

Liu Jing turned around and grabbed Da Qiao's wrist, gently stroking it, Da Qiao felt a strong pull pulling her forward, she bit her lip tightly and followed Liu Jing, they walked down the steps, a carriage drove fast Come, stop in front of the steps, Liu Jing opened the car door, gently put her arms around Da Qiao's waist, picked her up, and put her into the carriage.

Da Qiao only felt her heart beating wildly. Since her husband passed away more than ten years ago, no man has ever touched her like this. But she also knew that Liu Jing had no other intentions. It was just that she didn't have time to let her get in the car as gracefully as usual. There was no handmaiden to support her.

She didn't blame Liu Jing for his recklessness, but at the same time, Liu Jing's strong arm made her feel an indescribable sense of dependence, and she became a little confused.

Liu Jing also got into the carriage, and said in a deep voice, "Go back to the boat!"

The coachman shook his long whip, and the carriage started quickly, heading northwest. Dozens of guards rode on horseback to guard both sides. coming.
