After County Magistrate Lu saw the special treatment he received, he couldn't help but envy Cao Zhi and thought: "What has he done for the Qiao sisters? After the two Qiao sisters arrived in Yichun, I was the one who worked for them in front of and behind the horse. Now,
Qiao Ying treats Cao Zhi differently, huh! How unreasonable!" Magistrate Lu regretted his gaffe just now, but blamed all his anger on Cao Zhi, so his jealous eyes almost stabbed Cao Zhi into pieces.
Full of holes.
Of course, Cao Zhi received his gaze, which was like a thousand arrows piercing his heart. Cao Zhi immediately thought of the identity of Magistrate Lu as Lu Kang's nephew. Cao Zhi got the news of the siege of Chaohu last night, and Lu Kang might also have learned about Cao Zhi.
Lu Kang quickly informed his nephew about Cao Zhi's occupation of Chaohu, in order to prevent Cao Zhi from causing any trouble in his own territory.
The banquet gradually got better as Qiao Ying finished her toast. After Cao Zhi introduced his two men to the Qiao sisters and explained that He Jingxiang still needed to recuperate, everyone began to drink and discuss the wine.
The sisters' enchanting eyes were all over the table, especially Qiao Shuang's witty remarks, which made everyone at the table feel at home.
When they were almost done eating and drinking, Magistrate Lu appeared well prepared. After looking around, he smiled slightly and said to Qiao Ying, "Excuse me for being rude, Mr. Lu, for having the guts to ask Miss a question?"
Qiao Ying was startled and then said: "As long as County Magistrate Lu doesn't blame the little girl for her lack of talent and lack of knowledge, there is no harm in talking about it."
Magistrate Lu smiled and said: "Who here doesn't know that Miss Qiao is full of knowledge, but I don't know what Miss Qiao thinks of the Jiangxia Man who often harasses me in Lujiang?"
As soon as these words came out, Cao Zhi and others were stunned. Cao Zhi thought to himself, "This is not going to happen. It seems that he knows that he and Lu Kang are at odds over Chaohu. This problem will obviously be brought to him.
It seems that today is not an easy day." At the same time, Cao Zhi looked sideways at Du Yi, and his face changed slightly, and he only stared at Magistrate Lu, like a rooster ready to fight at any time.
Qiao Ying was stunned when she heard this. She didn't know that Cao Zhi's subordinate Du Yi was a barbarian. She originally thought that Magistrate Lu would ask her some questions about poems and songs. Who would have thought that he would ask a weak woman about Jiang Xiaman?
, but although she is a daughter, she has a wide range of interests. She smiled and said: "Jiangxia barbarians repeatedly invaded the Lujiang border and stayed restlessly within the boundaries defined by the imperial court. Not only Lujiang, but also my father's
Jiujiang has also been invaded by barbarians many times, and the barbarian problem is indeed a headache..."
Magistrate Lu didn't wait for Qiao Ying to finish, and suddenly said: "What's more troublesome is how to resettle these barbarians. My uncle captured a large number of Jiangxia barbarians during the barbarian war in Wancheng, and is worried about how to resettle them. I hope Miss Qiao can give me some advice."
Ichiban.”
Qiao Ying was smart, and she had already heard something about it. How could he come to ask a weak woman for advice on such a political issue between men? This was probably a reflection of who she was. Qiao Ying said modestly: "Qiao Ying has been around all year round.
Living in a boudoir, I don’t know much about political strategy, so it’s hard to come up with good ideas.”
Magistrate Lu actually didn't care what amazing insights Qiao Ying could come up with. His target was Cao Zhi. Then he turned to Cao Zhi and snorted coldly: "Brother Cao, what do you have to say about this issue?"
Cao Zhi first waved his hand to stop Du Yi, who was about to jump out, and smiled at Magistrate Lu with eight teeth, and said calmly: "Cao Zhi is stupid, I wonder what Magistrate Lu and Governor Lu have to say about dealing with the barbarians?
"
Magistrate Lu glanced at Cao Zhi with disdain and said: "My uncle is quite kind. He originally planned to deport these barbarians back to Jiangxia. According to my opinion, these people should all be killed!"
Du Yi was so angry that he almost burst his veins. He couldn't bear it anymore. He jumped up from his seat and blurted out: "Fart!"
Du Yi, who was excited and spoke astonishingly, really focused everyone's attention on him. Qiao Shuang across from him opened her eyes even more, not believing that the seemingly gentle Du Yi would curse. The person she met was the most
At least she has to pretend to be polite, and no one has ever cursed anyone in front of her and sister Rang. This is very interesting to her, and she is afraid that the world will not be in chaos, so she hopes that things will get worse and worse.
Qiao Ying also saw that the question that Magistrate Lu asked her just now was actually to reflect the people on Cao Zhi's side. Qiao Ying also guessed that Cao Zhi and Lu Kang might have had differences on certain issues after the war in Wancheng.
Differences led to Magistrate Lu's performance today.
Magistrate Lu looked at Du Yi with disdain and sneered: "Who is this? I want to kill Jiang Xiaman, why are you so excited?"
Du Yi simply rolled up his sleeves and walked out of the seat, shouting: "Come on, come on, your grandfather is a Jiangxia barbarian, come and kill him now."
Magistrate Lu did not leave the table, but said with a mocking look on his face: "Azole, azole, azole, why are there barbarians in Captain Cao's army? This man looks very gentle, no wonder he can get through and sneak in."
In the army of Captain Cao."
Seeing the mocking look in Magistrate Lu's eyes, Cao Zhi felt angry. He couldn't bear it anymore and had no choice but to take a risk today. He asked Li Ru to pull back the blushing Du Yi and whisper to him,
Due to Cao Zhi's pressure, Du Yi could only sit down angrily, but he still glared angrily at Magistrate Lu opposite him.
At this time, Cao Zhi stood up and said to Qiao Ying and others: "Yes, Du Yi is a Banzhen barbarian. There are many barbarians like Du Yi in our army. They all abandoned the light and turned to darkness in the battle of Wancheng.
, surrendered to me. When I was in Wancheng, I raised the issue of resettling Jiangxia barbarian prisoners of war with Governor Lu. Just as Magistrate Lu said, Governor Lu planned to keep the young and strong as slaves and move all the remaining barbarians back.
But Cao Zhi thinks this is inappropriate!"
Having said this, Cao Zhi paused for a moment and scanned the crowd's reactions. He first felt Qiao Ying's scorching beautiful eyes staring at him. Even Qiao Shuang opened her eyes wide and waited for what Cao Zhi would say.
Cao Zhi secretly thought about how he could lose face in front of a beauty. It seemed that he had to hold on to the end. But he smiled bitterly in his heart, "You two eldest ladies really praise me too much. Compared with you and Lu Lu, who seems to be full of knowledge.
The county magistrate is just a idiot, I'm afraid I won't have much information to tell you." Li Ru and Du Yi both knew the general meaning of what Cao Zhi was going to say, but they didn't have much expectations.
Magistrate Lu now had the upper hand. An Qing might be able to win the favor of a beauty and regain his previous disadvantage. He thought to himself: "How much money can Cao Zhi, a general, have in his belly? Can he match his family's scholarly family for generations?"
Do you want to compete?" So he was willing to let go of the opportunity to show off, and pressed forward step by step: "Then what good advice does the captain have? You might as well tell us so that we can see it."
Cao Zhi looked at Magistrate Lu who was eager to show off, and said, "Magistrate Lu, do you know who your ancestors are?"
