Big Joe, Little Joe loves me

Chapter 26 Xiao Qiao crosses the Yangtze River

The next day, Xiao Qiao left home with a book and went straight to Danyang County.

"Father, what should I do? She has never been to places other than Lujiang since she was a child. Now she is traveling alone. She is a girl. What if something happens to her?"

Da Qiao's face was anxious, and Qiao Yuan's face was not good-looking, but seeing Zhu Gongdao's protection on the letter left by Xiao Qiao, he relaxed a little.

Qiao Yuan comforted: "Don't worry, with Zhu Gongdao accompanying him, Tingqin will definitely reach Danyang safely. I will immediately write a letter to Wushuang and ask him to send someone to meet him."

Da Qiao said: "Then Zhu Gongdao looks weird, how can I rest assured, no, I'm going to Danyang too."

Qiao Yuan frowned and said: "Don't you think it's not chaotic enough? Danyang is fighting everywhere now, if something happens to you, how can Ling Wei have the face to face Wushuang!"

Da Qiao hesitated to speak: "But listening to the piano..."

Qiao Yuan said with a serious face: "Okay, you can manage the business of the winery at home, and try to push the sales of Wushuang wine to Kyushu. At this time, Wushuang has just established a foothold in Jiangdong, and we must give him more and better support. , this is the most important and urgent matter at the moment, as for your sister's matter, I will find a way to deal with it."

Da Qiao sighed helplessly, and left in disappointment, but was increasingly worried about Xiao Qiao's safety.

As soon as Da Qiao walked away, a person walked out from behind the screen in the room.

"Mr. Qiao has two beautiful daughters. I am really envious."

The man came quietly behind Qiao Yuan, and he looked like a middle-aged man. If Liu Gan was here, he would definitely know this man. He is Lu Kang's right-hand man, Li Shu.

"I envy you for having one, but I envy you even more. You have a son and power. What do you think you lack?" Qiao Yuan turned around and stared at Li Shu.

"It turns out that Mr. Qiao suffers from childlessness. In fact, this is nothing. Mr. Qiao can treat your good son-in-law as his own son. I really envy you for finding such an excellent son-in-law. I’m afraid I’ll laugh out loud in my dreams at night.” Li Shu walked across Qiaoyuan, picked up the warm tea on the table, and said, “I’ve always believed that power is a man’s best coat, but a piece of clothing will wear out after a long time. It will break, so men want to live a glamorous life, only to keep changing new clothes and grasping greater power."

"There is a way to lie drunk on the knees of a beautiful woman, and grasp the sword to kill when you wake up. You don't want to be connected to the city, but you want to kill the human rights." Li Shu chanted in a deep voice, and said eloquently: "Shu thought that a man can reach such a height in his life. Even if you die, you should have no regrets in your life."

"So, does Lord Li want the position of Lujiang prefect?" Qiao Yuan asked suddenly, with a half-smile.

"Lu Kang is dead, and Wenji voted for Cao Cao again. Is there anyone in Lujiang who is more suitable for that position than me?" Li Shu said confidently.

"That being said, Liu Xun, the current governor of Lujiang River, is Yuan Shu's confidant, and you can't compete with him." Qiao Yuan shook his head slightly.

"What if Liu Xun dies?" Li Shu laughed.

"Could it be that you are thinking..." Qiao Yuan realized later, looking at Li Shu's non-smiling face, he couldn't help feeling chills down his back.

Yangtze.

The waves rolled the river and drifted with the waves, and a passenger ship was slowly driving on the waves from north to south.

A dense black cloud was suddenly blown by the wind, and the next moment, heavy rain began to float in the sky, and the rain fell on the passenger ship, but it couldn't stop the conversation of the people on board.

"Have you heard that Sun Ce led his army to defeat Zhang Ying and Fan Neng's army not long ago, even Qu'a was captured, and Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou, fled to Yuzhang."

"Really, is Sun Ce so powerful?"

"Of course it's true. I have a friend who escaped from Qu'a. He told me all this. My friend said that Sun Ce has at least [-] soldiers in his hands. If that's true, in my opinion If you come to Yangzhou, there will be no one who can match Sun Ce!"

"Extremely, extremely..."

"Whoever said no, don't forget that there is still Liu Gan in Yangzhou!" A voice suddenly came, interrupting everyone's conversation.

I saw that the person who spoke was a heroic young man, his face was as white as jade, and his appearance was handsome. A little fly in the ointment was his short stature, but this was also related to his young age, after all, he was just a boy with a childish face people.

"Oh, why is this little brother so optimistic about Liu Gan? Although Liu Gan has won several battles in Danyang, those were not major battles. The army was defeated after holding on for only one day, and Liu Gan's general shot and killed Danyang prefect Zhou Shang with one arrow, which is quite a fluke!"

"I've also heard about this battle. It's true that there was a lot of luck. The walls of Wanling are so high, so it's so easy to be shot to death by an arrow. Zhou Shang must have died under the arrow."

"Brother, I think so, I think so too."

Everyone spoke out one after another, but the handsome young man was not happy after hearing this, and argued: "It's a bunch of nonsense. Sun Ce's defeat of Qu'e is unrivaled, and Liu dared to defeat Wanling. It's just a fluke. Just wait, Liu Dare to defeat Sun Ce!"

A man in common clothes said: "The little baby is not dry, but he has a beriberi and a bad breath. Do you know who Sun Ce is? Sun Ce is a descendant of Sun Wu, a great master of war. General Huzi, his generals are full of talented soldiers, although Liu Gan is said to be a Han family member and has a reputation for righteousness, Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou, has been defeated, not to mention a Danyang prefect, who is still self-proclaimed!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone nodded their heads in praise, the handsome young man was hard to beat, so he had no choice but to stay away from it.

At the stern of the boat, the handsome young man looked at the heavy rain on the river, feeling lost.

There was a sound of footsteps, and someone came over.

"Brother Zhu, why do you think they don't believe that brother-in-law can defeat Sun Ce? Then Sun Ce defeated Liu Yao, what a big deal!" said the handsome young man without turning his head.

"I don't know." The visitor said plainly, he was Zhu Gongdao in a white robe, and the handsome young man was Xiao Qiao disguised as a man.

"I don't know. What kind of answer is this? What do you know?" Xiao Qiao pouted with dissatisfaction.

"I think he wins, defeating Sun Ce." Zhu Gongdao whispered.

"Do you also think brother-in-law will win? Let me tell you, I can't be the only one who thinks so. Brother-in-law is so good, he will definitely defeat Sun Ce, I believe him!" Xiao Qiao raised her pretty face, laughing and laughing constantly.

"Boom!" There was a violent impact.

"Ah!" Xiao Qiao only felt that the boat she was in was about to topple, and her center of gravity was unstable and she almost fell down.

Zhu Gongdao quickly reached out to support Xiao Qiao, and after a while, he heard a call from outside.

"The water thief is coming, let's sail!"
