Chapter 193 Showing off
When the sun rises, the flowers on the river are as red as fire, and when spring comes, the river is as green as blue.
When Liu Qi and others first arrived in Jiangdong, they were attracted by the beautiful scenery. At the same time, Jiangcheng and Jianye were completely different from Xiangyang and Jiangling.
Although Nanjing has not yet formed the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties in later generations, it has more of a Jiangnan charm. The Qinhuai River flows slowly, with red flowers and green willows, and groups of lakes in the distance with rippling water.
The peace and harmony in Jiangdong is also different from that in Xiangyang. Xiangyang has a flourishing literary style and is full of Confucian scholars in blue shirts, drinking and drinking. However, Jianye is full of singing and dancing, and the prototype of Jinling has begun to be drunk and luxurious.
Summer has just entered, and women are boating on the lake, with their skirts flying among the lotus leaves, singing and laughing, as if they are entering a fairyland.
The beauty of the country is all there. In such a place, even Liu Qi, not to mention the people from Jiangdong, cannot bear to be affected by the war.
In the midst of emotion, everyone had arrived outside Jianye City. Sun Quan rode in front, accompanied by Zhou Yu and Lu Su, and behind were the guard of honor and Liu Qi.
In order to express his gratitude and show his love and respect for others, Sun Quan personally led Liu Qi to accept the welcome of the people of Jiangdong.
Colorful flags were fluttering on the top of the city. As the men and horses approached, drums and music blared, and there were actually women dancing in front of the city tower, with their sleeves flying like catkins all over the city.
When Sun Quan entered the city, he was greeted by a burst of cheers, mixed with the screams of women. In fact, most of them were for Zhou Yu.
The song is wrong, Zhou Lang is careful!
Zhou Yu, who has both talent and appearance, both civil and military skills, and extraordinary temperament, is undoubtedly every woman's dream lover.
Liu Qi came next, wearing a moon-white robe and a Confucian scarf with embroidered ribbons. He came from the nobility of a royal family, and with the experience of later generations, he looked like a handsome young man in troubled times.
Because he rose to power in Xiangyang and left another poem, Liu Qi has been nicknamed "Golden Scale", and some people even waved paper-cuts in their hands.
Liu Qi looks like a koi no matter how he looks at it, as if he has become a mascot!
Behind the window of the city tower, a woman in uniform was staring at Liu Qi. She had a curvy figure, a sword hanging on her waist, and a long bow on her back. She said doubtfully: "I think Mr. Liu is very impressive, not like what Sister Xiao Qiao said."
It’s so unbearable.”
The maid next to her said disdainfully: "Most of the children from aristocratic families have embroidered pillows. They look bright, but they are full of straw bag and are filthy."
The ceremonial guard marched on the street and the people cheered. Liu Qi had entered the city gate, but soon everyone's eyes were attracted to the two people behind him.
The white armor, white robe and white horse, Zhao Yun with a solemn expression, the bright red robe and maroon horse, and the unruly Gan Ning!
Zhao Yun has a calm demeanor and does not squint his eyes, but his sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes exude a murderous aura. He holds the bright silver spear tightly in his hand, and is as cold and arrogant as a divine soldier descending from the sky, making people stay away from him.
Gan Ning was completely different. Not only did he dress fancyly, he also pointed at the people around him and laughed with his hands clasped from time to time. There was a look of disdain in his publicity. He was a wealthy person.
The temperament of these two people is extremely rare among the men in Jiangdong. Especially after the death of the little overlord Sun Ce, no one can be so heroic, and they cheered loudly.
"Brother, look, that woman is fascinated by you!"
Gan Ning was combing the pheasant feathers when a follower pointed forward and screamed.
I saw a commotion among the crowd, and a woman fainted on the spot because of excessive excitement.
"I don't want to be in the limelight either, but I can't help myself!" Gan Ning curled his lips helplessly.
This time he came to Jianye to protect Liu Qi. After entering the city, he naturally didn't want to steal the limelight, so he changed into an ordinary armor, but Liu Qi asked him to change it back. Not to mention anything else, he just wore this brocade suit and the pheasant feathers floating on his head.
, it’s hard not to attract attention.
"Hehe, Jiangnan girls are really charming and charming, tsk tsk -"
"Hey, hey, wipe off the saliva!" Gan Ning scolded: "Damn it, don't embarrass me Jinfanjun."
"Although these girls are good, they are not as good as my Badong beauty, who is fair and delicate..."
"I heard that there are many brothels in Jiangdong, but I don't know where they are..."
"Look at how useless you all are. You can't walk around when you see a woman?" Gan Ning looked around and scolded with a smile: "When we arrive at Guanyi later, I will share all my bounty with you, go and have fun!
"
Suddenly there was thunderous cheers, mixed with whistles, and someone joked: "If the boss doesn't go, he must be afraid that Miss Sha will break his legs."
When Gan Ning was ordered to go on an expedition, Shamoko had already moved some of his tribesmen to the Wuling area, and at the same time brought 3,000 barbarian troops to train with Yu Jin in Jiangling.
Before setting off, Shazali saw him off and warned him repeatedly that if he dared to flirt with women in the south of the Yangtze River, his legs would be broken when he came back, making everyone laugh all the way.
Gan Ning was so angry that he cursed: "I've said it before. If anyone causes trouble, I will break his three legs."
Listening to the cheers behind him, Liu Qi looked back and said with a smile: "Xingba is still so heroic after arriving in Jiangdong. He is really a man of temperament."
Xu Shu showed envy: "Most of the men in the world are like this. They show sincerity and take pleasure in grudges and grudges."
Liu Qi smiled happily. This guy had been running against the generals of Soochow all day long, but he didn't notice them. He didn't know how his mood was different from that of Gan Ning who defected to Jiangdong in history.
When the team was about to arrive at Guanyi, Sun Quan saw the crowds on the street. He was still cheering and said with a smile: "I didn't expect the people to be so enthusiastic about Liu Qi."
Zhou Yu said: "Liu Qi came to help in the battle and retreated to Cao Ren with an empty camp. The news has spread throughout Jiangdong. It can be said that he is in the limelight today."
Sun Quan laughed and said: "Liu Qi also knows that the people in Jiangdong are simple and honest, and the people are happy, not much worse than Jingzhou."
Zhou Yu winked at Lu Su, and Lu Su coughed dryly and said: "But if things continue like this, I'm afraid Jiangdong will only know that Liu Qi defeated Cao Cao with one force, and will not know about the wise decision of the lord, let alone the strategizing of the general governor. In the future, I may not use the army."
unfavorable!"
Zhou Yu sighed: "I thought Liu Qi was a man of wealth and lust. He is really famous and it is better to meet him! This man is very deep in the city and his behavior is like Gou Jian. We need to be careful."
Sun Quan's smile froze on his face, he turned his head and glanced behind him, then waved his hand and said with a smile: "Liu Boxei is a guest from afar, so it's human nature to greet him in the opposite direction. He is also the son-in-law of Jiangdong, so it's no problem!"
While he was talking, Xi Guan and other people who had gone ahead had come out from the post to greet him. Liu Qi also came forward and dismounted. Everyone greeted him. Sun Quan asked Liu Qi to rest for a while, and later sent someone to pick him up to see Wu Guotai.
Seeing Sun Quan and others leaving, Gan Ning said dissatisfiedly: "Isn't it a courtesy to welcome guests and leave right after receiving them from the post?"
Liu Qi smiled and said: "After returning from the war, there must be a lot of military affairs to deal with, so don't worry about it."
The scale of this hotel is not small. After entering the courtyard, there are three floors at the back. Sitting on the top floor, you can see the Qinhuai River through the window.
They only brought five hundred followers into the city this time. The others were led by Su Fei and stayed outside the city. Two hundred Baiji soldiers and three hundred Jinfan soldiers all lived in the outer courtyard.
The backyard was left for Liu Qi and the generals. After washing, Liu Qi also changed his clothes. Xi Guan had already prepared gifts and was just waiting to see Wu Guotai.
After waiting for more than an hour, seeing that it was getting late and Sun Quan hadn't sent anyone yet, Xi Guan started nagging and complained about Sun Quan's procrastination in doing things.
Liu Qi was not in a hurry, but felt a little uneasy. This trip seemed to be to see his mother-in-law, but in fact it was also a diplomatic event.
I am now a prince, the lord of Jingzhou. I am worshiped as a general of chariots and cavalry, and given the title of Marquis of Xiangyang. I have a high status. I cannot lose my etiquette by going here, nor can I lower my status.
