Time flies, and 2 years have passed.

Dong Zhuo was still living happily in Chang'an City, and the Xiliang counties were firmly under his control.

On the other hand, the princes of the world are fighting their own battles, and many names have withdrawn from the stage of history.

The world was in chaos, and Han Fu, the shepherd of Jizhou, was weak and unintelligent, so he invited Yuan Shao, the highly respected herdsman of Qingzhou, to co-manage the affairs of the state. Unexpectedly, he was ignored by Yuan Shao. Jizhou is the important place of the world's granary. Yuan Shao gained this place, and his strength expanded unprecedentedly.

He also merged the original territory of Ding Yuan with the state into his pocket.

In the land of Hebei, only Gongsun Zan's Youzhou has not yet been controlled by him.

As for Cao Cao, since the failure of the alliance of princes, he has been favored by countless heroes in the world. His strength has snowballed, from the original one county to controlling Yanzhou and Silizhou, becoming a new powerful man.

In order to please Cao Cao, Tao Qian of Xuzhou ordered his father to be reunited with Cao Cao. Unexpectedly, the soldiers under his command were greedy for Cao Cao's father's money and actually killed people and bought goods! Cao Cao was furious and launched an army to attack Xuzhou, massacring every city in his path. Tao Qian was in great distress.

, asking for help everywhere, Gongsun Zan borrowed Liu Bei's 3,000 soldiers to come to the rescue. When the two sides were at a stalemate, Cao Cao suddenly heard that Dong Zhuo had sent Lu Bu to lead an army to attack Sili Prefecture, so he hurriedly ordered the withdrawal of the troops. Afterwards, Tao Qian admired Liu Bei.

Gao Yi, feeling deeply that he was inadequate, gave up the pastoral care of Xuzhou to Liu Bei.

Liu Yan of the Han Dynasty firmly established himself in Yizhou, divided the country into one side, and became a native emperor.

Liu Biao, who was also a clan member of the Han Dynasty, felt much more relieved. After killing Sun Jian, Sun Ce led 3,000 remnant soldiers to flee to Lujiang County. The princes from the east of the Yangtze River established themselves on their own and refused to obey Sun Ce's orders. Liu Biao was overjoyed and sent troops to annex Changsha County and marched to Lujiang County.

Nan occupied Jiaozhou again, and when he turned his attention to the east again, the princes from Jiangdong hurriedly formed an alliance and contacted Yuan Shu, who occupied half of Yangzhou, and then blocked Liu Biao from Chaisang County.

Jiangxia City.

On this day, the sky was clear and the breeze was blowing. There were three hikers walking slowly on the gravel-paved mountain path.

Ji Shu looked at the lush trees in the mountains and couldn't help but relax. He said happily: "The scenery in the mountains is great and refreshing. Let's climb to the top of the mountain before noon."

The insects and birds in the forest sing, and their sound is like music.

Occasionally, some unknown birds fly from one side of the forest to the other.

Qingyu jumped up and down, as cheerfully as a child: "Well, it's been a long time since I went out to play in the city. It's really nice here. Brother Gan, hurry up. Otherwise we will leave you behind."

"Ding-dong" the sweet bells sounded, and the person following at the end turned out to be Gan Ning, a water thief he had met on the river.

At this time, he was carrying a mountaineering luggage bag on his left shoulder, but he was walking with ease, looking extremely relaxed, and his eyes were following the beautiful figure closely.

"By the way, Qingyu, didn't you ask me to inquire about Qingshan? I just received a military report before coming here. Didn't Cao Cao kill Xuzhou under the banner of 'avenging his father' a few days ago? I heard that he

Now they have been repelled by Liu Bei, Kong Rong, Tao Qian, Gongsun Zan and others. This time, Baima Yicong under Gongsun Zan has made great achievements. There are also some clues about the achievements of Zhao Yun and Zhu Yun. Qingshan also made some achievements.

Looks like it."

Qingyu rarely heard the news from Qingshan, and immediately said with great interest: "Hey, there is still this matter? General Gongsun also sent people to that battle? I wonder how Qingshan is doing now!"

How can the military report say such details? It's not like a prince.

Gan Ning scratched the back of his head and said: "The information received by the Governor's Office only mentioned that Gongsun Zan sent Zhao Yun to lead 3,000 white horse Yi Cong to follow Liu Bei to rescue Tao Qian. In this battle, the White Horse Yi Cong defeated Cao Cao's right army, making Cao Cao's beloved general

Xiahou Dun fled in panic and killed more than 2,000 enemies in total. Among them, Zhao Yun killed 7 young generals of Cao's army, which was a great achievement. In addition, it was mentioned that Zhao Yun's deputy general Zhu Yun also killed 1 young general of Cao's army. Since beheading a general is a meritorious service.

, I think Qingshan is doing pretty well."

Seeing Qingyu's smile, Ji Shu said confidently: "Sister, I told you earlier that Qingshan is with Brother Zilong, just don't worry."

Then Ji Shu talked endlessly about Zhao Yun's heroic deeds.

Gan Ning saw Qing Yu listening to him with rapt attention, and couldn't help but taste it: "That's nothing. If I were here, I might not be able to compare with that Zhao Yun."

Qingyu giggled: "Well, Brother Gan is so good, he must be good."

Gan Ning's thoughts are well known to everyone. Ji Shu and Gan Ning have gotten along well in the past two years, and they can be considered friends.

However, Ji Shu had already regarded Zhao Yun as the best candidate for his brother-in-law, and he was absolutely unambiguous about it. When he saw this, he couldn't help but roll his eyes and said: "Humph, I saw the cow flying in the sky, and I don't know which little thief blew it."

?”

Before Gan Ning could react, Qingyu said angrily with a straight face: "Zi Yuan, don't talk nonsense! Brother Gan stopped being a water thief a long time ago and is now an officer of Jiangxia."

Ji Shu was joking casually, but when he mentioned the word "thief", it was inevitable that he would expose Gan Ning's scars. Unfortunately, the words had already been spoken, and he quickly admitted his mistake: "Yes, I used the word inappropriately. I apologize..."

··”

Huh? Wait, sister has spoken for Gan Ning! Ji Shu whispered urgently: "Sister, you don't really like this guy, do you?"

"What are you talking about again? Brother Gan and I don't have that kind of relationship."

Qingyu was greatly embarrassed, her face turned red, and she put her hands on her hips and said angrily: "Let's not talk about this anymore. Why did Yueying come to play with me after not seeing me for so long? Isn't it you who made sister Yueying angry?"

As soon as he heard Yueying's name, Ji Shu couldn't help but muttered: "How do I know what's going on? I didn't provoke her. After all, she is the daughter of a wealthy family. She is too busy with things to take care of us.

It’s nothing.”

When Qingyu heard this, she was really angry for some reason. She wanted to say something else, but Gan Ning interrupted hesitantly: "You don't know, right?"

The two of them looked at Gan Ning in confusion at the same time. Gan Ning looked as if it was true and said, "The eldest lady of the Huang family is getting married!"

"What?" The two of them looked at Gan Ning in confusion for a moment.

Gan Ning gestured with his hands and said, "That's the eldest lady of the Huang family who often hangs out with us, Huang Yueying. She's getting married."

"What!" Ji Shu and Qingyu shouted at the same time.

······

"Dad, I won't marry!" Huang Yueying looked at Huang Chengyan stubbornly.

Huang Chengyan frowned slightly. He has a son and a daughter. The son is mediocre in academics and can barely maintain the family business, but the daughter is amazingly talented and is deeply loved by him. Most of the time, he can safely leave important matters at home to his daughter, but

Only the important matter of marriage cannot be solved.

"Could it be that you're in love with that brat named Ji?" His daughter only has a few close friends, so he still knows a few.

Yueying bit her red lips lightly but said nothing.

"No!" Huang Chengyan snorted, sighed again, and said earnestly.

"Dad, it's not like I have to be a good match, but Ji Shu was originally just a servant in the Situ Mansion. Even if he is now Han Song's aide, what does it matter? How can he be compared with Kong Ming?"

Yueying was the apple of his eye, and he had begun to select a husband for his daughter a long time ago. From character to talent, from family background to appearance, among countless young talents, Zhuge Liang was the best.

"I don't understand, what do you see in that kid? Even if he is really talented, can he compare with Kong Ming? He is just the light of a firefly, while Kong Ming is the bright moon in the sky!"

Yueying turned her head away and said angrily: "Brother Kong Ming is very nice, but my relationship with him is just brother and sister! Huh, I won't marry anyway! If you want to marry, you must marry yourself!"

"Nonsense!"

Although dad is strict, he is doing it for your own good, as you will know in the future. Huang Chengyan put on a serious face and said forcefully: "Since ancient times, it has been the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers! It is your turn to make the decision! From today on, to

You are not allowed to leave the house before you get married!"
