Big Joe, Little Joe loves me

Chapter 309
Xu Mansion, in a bedroom.

Xu Jiao was lying on the couch, his face was as pale as paper, and he cried out in pain from time to time.

Xu Kun's face was gloomy, he stood with his hands behind his back, and stood beside him without saying a word. He didn't look at Xu Jiao, but stared at the doctor.

After a long time, the doctor's voice came: "General Xu, your son's condition is very bad. I'm afraid you have to prepare for the worst."

Xu Kun clenched his fist secretly, and asked in a deep voice: "Doctor Li, is there nothing you can do?"

Dr. Li sighed: "Forgive me for being helpless, General Xu can hire someone else, maybe other doctors can do it, but maybe not."

Xu Kun was silent for a while, and after a long time he let out a sigh of relief, and said, "In this case, Dr. Li, walk slowly, and I will see you off."

"Farewell." Doctor Li clasped his fists and left.

Xu Kun watched Dr. Li leave, and then came to the couch, staring at Xu Jiao with a gloomy expression.

Looking at his expression, Xu Kun seemed to have a thousand words to say, but he never uttered a word.

Feeling his father's gaze, Xu Jiao stood up reluctantly and said, "Father, am I doomed? Father, you must find a way to save me, I don't want to become an eunuch!"

Xu Kun didn't speak because someone pushed the door open and entered.

The person who came was dressed in green clothes, tall and graceful, who else would it be if it wasn't Yuan Ji!

"Xiu De, I heard that something happened to Jiaoer, Jiaoer, how are you doing?"

Yuan Ji hurried in and asked with concern.

Seeing Yuan Ji, Xu Jiao immediately said with a mournful face, "Mother, I'm done, my life is over!"

Yuan Ji turned pale with shock, and hurriedly asked, "How could this be so serious? Who is so bold to hit you so hard!"

"It's King Ming's wife and sister. She not only injured me, but also disabled Sun Xing's right hand. Zhou Jun and Zhu Ran were also injured by her!" Xu Jiao said, Yuan Ji's expression changed several times.

This matter actually has something to do with King Ming?

Yuan Ji couldn't help but glanced at Xu Kun, only to see that Xu Kun's face was extremely pale, and his deep eyes were full of murderous intent.

"Xiu De..." Yuan Ji called Xu Kun softly.

Xu Kun snorted heavily, gritted his teeth and said, "Which is tolerable or unbearable, if I don't avenge this revenge, I'm not Xu Xiude!"

Yuan Ji came to Xu Kun's side, and said softly: "Xiu De, you must not be arrogant. I know the wife and sister of King Ming. She is very fond of King Ming. Once you stand up for Jiaoer, King Ming will definitely not sit idly by. If Duke Ming is angered by this, we will definitely face disaster!"

Xu Kun remained silent, and it was undeniable that Yuan Ji's words made sense.

However, if he let go of the murderer who hurt Xu Jiao so easily and spread the word, what would Xu Kun's face be?
Can he still stand in front of others?
"Little mother, you are still talking for outsiders. Are you from our Xu family! Dad, I have been ruined. Do you want to watch the person who ruined your son happy?"

Xu Jiao said with snot and tears.

Yuan Ji said: "Jiao Er, it's not that I don't help you, I don't want the Xu family to be in danger, you don't know who King Ming is, if you offend King Ming, everyone in the Xu family will suffer!"

Xu Jiao yelled: "If I suffer, I will suffer. I have become like this, and I will die! Father, I want revenge, and I want that woman's life to be worse than death!"

"You're messing around!" Yuan Ji frowned, grabbed Xu Kun's arm, and said solemnly: "Xiu De, you must not listen to him, we can't avenge this revenge, we can only bear it!"

Xu Kun didn't speak, he was still struggling in his heart, the pressure from Liu Gan was not small, he couldn't make a decision for a while.

Yuan Ji obviously saw Xu Kun's struggle, and in order to beg Xu Kun not to act recklessly, Yuan Ji kept persuading Xu Kun so hard that she almost knelt down for Xu Kun.

At this time, a voice came from outside the door, interrupting Xu Kun's struggle.

"Master, General Sun Fu is asking for an audience, and is waiting in the lobby."

Xu Kun's eyes froze, what does it mean that Sun Fu is here at this time?
A bad premonition flashed in Yuan Ji's heart, she glanced at Xu Kun, and wanted to say something.

However, Xu Kun didn't give Yuan Ji this chance, and said without doubt: "You stay and take care of Jiaoer, and I'll go to meet the guests!"

Yuan Ji watched Xu Kun's back leave, feeling more and more uneasy.

……

Bridge Mansion, garden.

In a circle surrounded by a fence, two fighting cocks flapped their wings and pecked at each other, their feathers fluttering and blood dripping.

Beside the fence, Qiao Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, leisurely and comfortable.

This kind of comfort didn't last long, because a man in Chinese clothes ran over in a hurry.

"Jing Xing is so eager, could it be that he has found another good fighting cock?"

Qiao Yuan looked up at the person coming, and said with a half-smile.

Wang Lang ran to Qiao Yuan's side, gasped for several breaths, finally calmed down, and said impatiently: "I said, Mr. Qiao, you are still thinking about cockfighting, you know something is wrong!"

Qiao Yuan said calmly: "Bad things happen every day, I don't know which one Jing Xing is referring to?"

"Your precious daughter has caused a lot of trouble, you don't know anything about it, do you?" Wang Lang asked.

Qiao Yuan said with a smile: "I think it's a big deal, I already know about it, Jing Xing is safe and don't be impatient, let's see how my newly bought fighting cock shows off its power, it is the dark one, I didn't say that Literally, the attack power of this fighting cock is terrifying, and it can peck the opponent in two or three hits!"

Wang Lang stomped his feet and said anxiously: "Mr. Qiao, why don't you know the seriousness of the matter? The people injured by your precious daughter are Xu Kun's son and Sun Fu's son. Both of them are Sun Fu's sons." The old general of the family, and the military power is in his hands at this time, if these two people disagree in life, the Lujiang River will be in danger!"

Qiao Yuan took a deep look at Wang Lang, without changing his face, he said, "In Jing Xing's opinion, how likely is it that these two people have different opinions in life?"

Wang Lang pondered for a while, then said: "Most of the Lujiang soldiers and horses are in their hands now, and King Ming is going on an expedition, if they are willing to do something, this is a great opportunity from heaven!"

Qiao Yuan smiled and said: "A golden opportunity? Jing Xing knows that sometimes what seems to be a golden opportunity is actually a net of heaven and earth."

"What do you mean by this? Could it be that this good opportunity is..." Wang Lang was surprised, and seeing Qiao Yuan's smile, he was suddenly pleasantly surprised to see the blue sky through the clouds.

Wang Lang suddenly understood why Xu Kun and Sun Fu were transferred back after Liu Gan went out to fight, and many generals were also transferred back at this time.

All of this is no coincidence!

Is this going to take all the dissident generals in one pot?

However, once these people huddle together, this force is not weaker than that of a prince!

Who can resist?

Although Wang Lang wanted to intervene, Qiao Yuan didn't seem to want to talk about it, but changed the subject and said, "Jing Xing, I heard that your daughter has become a nun?"

Wang Lang smiled bitterly and said: "Qiao Gong's news is really well-informed. Ever since the young girl met the king and queen that day, she has been sleepless day and night since returning home. She is sick with worry and has no choice but to become a monk. I have also persuaded her, but unfortunately she is stubborn by nature. , don’t listen to advice at all, alas!”

Qiao Yuan sighed slightly, and said: "It's really a pity, I wanted to marry Jing Xing as in-laws, but I didn't want to be self-defeating, but Jing Xing lost a daughter, I blame me for this!"

Wang Lang shook his head and said: "Mr. Qiao is serious. Although I can't become an in-law, I dare not forget Mr. Qiao's kindness of rebuilding. If Mr. Qiao is sent, I, Wang Lang, will definitely be terrified!"

"Jing Xing has a heart. It just so happens that there is something that needs Jing Xing to come forward recently." Qiao Yuan said with a mysterious smile.

Wang Lang said: "Qiao Gong, but it's okay to say."

Qiao Yuan slowly said: "I know that you and Zhang Hong have a good relationship, I want to arrange for someone to enter the palace, you come forward."

Wang Lang was puzzled and said, "Mr. Qiao, why don't you come forward in person? For such a trivial matter, how can Zhang Hong not sell your face?"

"You guessed it right. Zhang Hong is rigid and inflexible. He has never paid attention to me." Qiao Yuan snorted coldly, and his eyes fell on the fighting cocks in the fence again, "But sometimes I I also appreciate this kind of person, because this kind of person is like a fighting cock in a pen, and will only fight to the death with his opponent according to the instructions of the master, and the loyalty of this kind of person makes his master feel at ease!"

Wang Lang hesitated for a while, and asked, "Why did Duke Qiao arrange for people to enter the palace? Could it be that he wanted to..."

"Sometimes knowing too much may not be a good thing." Qiao Yuan pointed to the game cock, and said meaningfully: "I admire people who are like game cocks, do you understand? Heh, finally died, the newly bought game cocks are just different , much braver than this old chicken who loves its feathers."

Wang Lang looked at it in a blink of an eye, just as Qiao Yuan said, one of the two fighting cocks died tragically under the sharp beak of the other, bloody and bloody, and its hair fell to the ground.

Seeing this situation, Wang Lang sneaked a glance at Qiao Yuan from the corner of his eye, and swallowed the question that came to his lips abruptly.

Sometimes, silence is golden.
