The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 254 Chapter 253
Mrs. Liu's sudden arrival surprised Duke Qiao, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao. Mrs. Liu is Mr. Qiao's official wife and also the mistress of Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Qiao. salute.

When Duke Qiao saw Mrs. Liu coming, he asked, "Why are you here?"

Mrs. Liu said: "Why can't I come? The general is famous all over the world. Since he has taken a fancy to our two daughters, it is the blessings that our Qiao family has cultivated in several lifetimes. The wealth bestowed on you by God can't be repaid by others." Come on, why don't you?"

Qiao Gong frowned, understood the meaning of Liu's words, and said with a straight face: "Women, what do you know!"

Liu retorted: "Why don't I understand? If you really escape with the two of them, our family and even the entire Qiao family will suffer. If you dedicate them to the general, the glory and wealth will naturally flow. It keeps coming, even the fools on the street know it’s a good thing, but how did it turn out to be a bad thing when it came to you? If I have this kind of life, I’m too happy to be happy!”

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Qiao fell into deep thought. He had no children, so he adopted a son from his younger brother. Now his son has also moved to Wancheng with him. Big Qiao and Little Qiao escaped, but they harmed the entire Qiao family.

However, Duke Qiao loves his daughter dearly, and he doesn't want his daughter to marry into a wealthy family, so he is in a dilemma.

Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao knew their father's love well, the two sisters looked at each other and said in unison: "Daddy, send us to Pengcheng, we don't want to hurt Daddy!"

After Qiao Gong heard this, he hugged his two beloved daughters, and hot tears flowed down his cheeks.

Seeing such a scene, Mrs. Liu said coldly from the side: "Cry! There's nothing to cry about. It's a good thing. You should be happy!"

The next day, the county magistrate sent people to Qiao's mansion. After cleaning up, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao got into the carriage and formally headed for Pengcheng under the escort.

Before leaving, Mr. Qiao personally sent him far away, and bid farewell to Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao reluctantly.

And Mrs. Liu was beside Qiao Gong, looking extremely happy, and the two formed a great contrast.

The two beauties are officially on the road. In order to ensure that Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao arrive in Pengcheng smoothly without any harassment on the road, Jia Xu and Lujiang prefect Lu Su, Huainan prefect Liu Ye, and Zhang Liao and Gao Shun who are stationed in Shaopi have a long-term battle. After some communication, they will carry out relay escort, and Gao Shun will send soldiers to escort them all the way.

Gao Shun handed over the task of escorting the beauties to Lv Meng, who had just been promoted to military commander, and Lv Meng led the [-] soldiers of the battalion to escort them all the way.

Lu Meng accepted the escort mission and rushed all the way to Wan County with [-] soldiers, officially took over the escort team of the county magistrate, and began to escort Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao to Pengcheng.

Fortunately, there were no problems due to the safety measures taken along the way, and Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao finally entered Pengcheng after ten days of trekking.

Lu Meng's escort mission ended here. After handing over to Xu Sheng, the school captain of the city gate, he led his troops to rest at the post station in the city, preparing to return to Shaopi tomorrow morning.

After Xu Sheng received Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, he sent them to Jia Xu's mansion. Jia Xu ordered his maid to put Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao in his guest room temporarily, and asked them to bathe and change clothes for Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao. And found two sets of more expensive clothes for Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao to wear.

In addition, Jia Xu was fully prepared to entertain Zhang Yan tonight, and sent someone to invite Zhang Yan.

At this time, Zhang Yan was playing with his son Zhang Han in the mansion. Zhang Han, who was three months old, was laughing happily in Zhang Yan's arms. The joy his son brought him made him forget all the troubles.

In the distance, Mi Zhen was sitting in the gazebo watching the father and son, the family of three enjoyed themselves happily.

The name Zhang Han was given by Zhang Yan. The word Han means greatness. Zhang Yan has already laid down this foundation. When he grows old, this foundation must be inherited by his son.

In the 5000-year history of China, the feudal system has lasted for more than 2000 years. It has long been a custom to succeed the son after the death of the father. Even in a more civilized year, when the father dies, the son will inherit his property.

In addition, Zhang Yan is not satisfied with the current hegemony, because the heroes are still alive and the country has not yet been unified, so he hopes to do more. Therefore, when naming his son, it is also a will extend.He hopes that when his son inherits his father's business in the future, he will not just be satisfied with the status quo, but will continue to expand the territory and continue to build a huge empire.

"Come on, baby boy, give Dad a smile!" Zhang Yan said heartily while holding Zhang Han in his arms, stroking Zhang Han's cheeks with his fingers.

"Hehehehe..." Zhang Han laughed as if he understood Zhang Yan's words.

At this time, a Jin Yiwei walked in from the outside, and immediately clasped his fists and said, "My lord, Captain Jia Xu of Sili sent someone to invite you to the mansion for a banquet!"

Zhang Yan carried Zhang Han to the gazebo, handed Zhang Han to his wife Mi Zhen, and said to her: "Jia Wenhe will go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing. There must be something wrong with this banquet. I'll go and see." , dinner will not wait for me!"

Mi Zhen nodded, hugged Zhang Han, saw Zhang Yan turned and left, took Zhang Han's little arm, waved her little hand to Zhang Yan, and said, "Goodbye to Dad!"

When Zhang Yan was about to walk out of the courtyard, he suddenly turned his head and smiled at Zhang Han. At this time, Zhang Han was also smirking at Zhang Yan. The father and son fought each other for a while, and Zhang Yan turned and left.

After leaving the mansion, Zhang Yan turned over and rode on the black cloud riding snow horse, and went directly to Jia Xu's mansion.

At this time, Jia Xu was already waiting outside the gate of the mansion. Seeing Zhang Yan's arrival, he hurried forward to pay homage.

After exchanging pleasantries with Jia Xu, Zhang Yan went directly into the mansion and asked Jia Xu if there was anything wrong. Jia Xu smiled but did not answer, and Zhang Yan would know after just talking for a while.

When Zhang Yan came to the hall, he suddenly saw that the hall was full of people. Chen Qun, Zhang Zhao, Dong Zhao, Gu Yong, Xu Sheng, Xu Chu, Zhao Yun and others sat in two rows, all of whom were Zhang Yan's confidantes.

When everyone saw Zhang Yan coming, they saluted one after another. Zhang Yan waved his hand, signaling them to excuse himself, but turned his head and asked, "Lord Jia, what happened today? Is there something wrong?"

Jia Xu said with a smile: "My lord, please take a seat. If the subordinates have informed the lord in advance, then there will be no surprises."

Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Okay, then I want to see what your so-called surprise is!"

After speaking, Zhang Yan went to the front seat and sat down. Jia Xu stood aside, raised his hand, and clapped three times. A group of musicians ran out, sat in the corner of the hall, and began to play music.

After a while, two young girls in luxurious clothes, surrounded by many maidservants, walked up to the main hall and began to dance lightly.

Zhang Yan noticed that the two girls leading the dance had graceful dancing postures and similar looks, like two sisters. Moreover, the two of them were so beautiful that they stunned everyone. Such a beauty, such a beautiful woman, is really a rare beauty.

Music, dance, beauties, all of these are mixed together, Zhang Yan and everyone present are fascinated by watching, Zhang Yan is even more fascinated by watching, his eyes have been closely staring at the lead dancer The two sisters never moved for a moment.

The rest of the people present were basically the same, but after looking at it for a while, they forced their eyes back, not daring to take another look.Because they all knew that these two beauties were specially found by Jia Xu to dedicate to Zhang Yan, if they continue to look at them, they will inevitably have some unreasonable thoughts.

Chen Qun lowered his head, took a sip of the wine, and said in his heart: "This Jia Xu is very good at guessing the heart of the lord. Since he arrived in Pengcheng, the lord has always focused on him, but ignored us old subordinates... ..."

Da Sinong is one of the Nine Ministers. Ever since Zhang Yan appointed Chen Qun to this position, Chen Qun has devoted himself to his official duties. The chances of Yan to meet are getting less and less.In the past, he was the backbone of Zhang Yan and the person Zhang Yan relied on.

But since Jia Xu came to Pengcheng, things have changed. No matter what Zhang Yan does, he likes to discuss with Jia Xu, and even appoints Jia Xu as the captain of Sili.Although the official position is not as high as that of Chen Qun, after all, he is in charge of the area around Pengcheng, and there are many places and time to meet Zhang Yan in official business.

Therefore, Chen Qun was obviously jealous.However, he has never shown it, because he is younger than Jia Xu, and for him, youth is capital.

With the continuous rise of power and status, Zhang Yan's subordinates are also divided into three different factions, one is the veteran heroes such as Chen Qun, Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, and Chen Deng, and the other is Jia Xu. , Zhong Yao, Liu Ye, Lu Su, Gu Yong, Jia Kui, etc. are emerging heroes, and the other is a neutral faction headed by Yang Biao, Zhang Wen, Bing Yuan, Guoyuan, Hua Xin, Wang Lang, etc. , they are not Zhang Yan's confidantes, so they have always maintained a close relationship with these two factions, and no one can offend them.

In addition, there is another faction, that is, the royalist party headed by the emperor Liu Xie. The number of this faction is pitifully small, only Dong Cheng and Fu Wan, so it can be ignored.

In contrast, the Veteran Heroic Officials and the Emerging Heroic Officials have no conflict of interest, but only differences in political views and the degree of Zhang Yan's favor. At least for now, there is no obvious faction or party dispute.But I believe that in the near future, party struggles will gradually emerge.This point was beyond Zhang Yan's prediction, and it was a contingency as well as an inevitability in the course of historical development.

Closer to home.

Zhang Yan watched intently after the two beauties leading the dance finished a dance, so excited he immediately clapped his hands and applauded loudly.

After Diao Chan left, Zhang Yan was in a low mood for a while, but with the birth of his son and Zhao Yun's investment, he gradually improved.But deep down in his heart, he never forgets Diao Chan.

To this day, after seeing these two beauties leading the dance, his heart is full of joy, and his long-lost passion is rekindled.

There is nothing wrong with being a hero. Zhang Yan also made no secret of his love for these two beauties. In front of everyone, he immediately asked, "What are your two names?"

"Back to the general, Da Qiao, the daughter of the people, this is my sister, Xiao Qiao!" Da Qiao, who was wearing a red and luxurious dress, answered first.

"Big Joe? Little Joe?" After Zhang Yan heard this, he was very happy, as he was very familiar with these two names.

But, why did Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao appear in Jia Xu's mansion?
