Cao Zhi said as he casually reached into his arms, took out a brocade bag, and threw the rosary to it without looking at it.
The rosary was quite flexible, so she caught it and looked at it happily. When she saw the exquisite appearance of the rosary, she liked it, but then she thought of her own identity and Qiao Ying's usually strict tutor. She took it Jin Bao looked at Cao Zhi and then had to look back at Qiao Ying to ask for Qiao Ying's permission.
Qiao Ying was anxious to ask Cao Zhi, so she nodded casually. The rosary immediately greeted Qiao Ying and then Cao Zhi happily, saying, "Thank you, sir!" and ran out.
As soon as the rosary beads came out of the room, Qiao Ying stood up impatiently and said: "I have read the letter, but dad thinks you despise him and will never believe the content of the letter. He almost... almost got angry Anyway." When it came to the military and political affairs related to Shouchun, Qiao Ying was not afraid of Cao Zhi at all now, and walked towards the window where Cao Zhi was while talking without warning.
"Ah!" Cao Zhi immediately turned bitter when he heard Qiao Ying's words. He said innocently: "What? How could this happen? The letter I wrote was explicit enough. I was forced by Yuan Shao, so I couldn't. Instead of sending troops to Shouchun, I pretended to help him deal with Chen Yu in order to help Yuan Qian ascend to the position of governor of Yangzhou. But after I arrived in Shouchun City, I didn't fight with a real sword or spear. It was all a bluff. As soon as Yuan Qian arrived, he used the excuse to withdraw his troops. I didn't expect that the fat old man Qiao Xuan would not appreciate it. It's really..."
Cao Zhi said the last sentence and actually started talking to himself.
As soon as the rosary beads were gone, Qiao Ying continued to ask about Shouchun. However, after hearing Cao Zhi's last words, she actually cursed his father Qiao Xuan. She was so angry that she put her hands on her hips and said angrily: "What did you say?" ?Who are you calling a fat old man?quot;
Cao Zhi also blurted out the words in a state of forgetfulness, but it was indeed wrong to neglect someone else's father in front of his own daughter.
Cao Zhi quickly apologized and said: "Sorry, sorry, bah, bah! Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue, hehe..."
Qiao Ying rolled her eyes at the smiling Cao Zhi and said: "I have also heard that your subordinates are just scaring people outside the city and spreading many rumors about you and...and...you." Rumors.quot;
Qiao Ying almost blurted out "Rumors about you and our sisters", but how could she say this from a woman about to get married, especially in front of a frivolous person like Cao Zhi. Qiao Ying said from I have learned my lesson from the many losses just now. I must not give him a good look towards someone like Cao Zhi, so as not to give him an opportunity to take advantage of me.
Cao Zhi spent most of his time in the camp outside Shouchun City, so of course he didn't know about the scandal that was spreading wildly in the city. He also didn't doubt that there was an excuse for it: "How can I call it nonsense? I can't help it. If If we really fight, aren't we afraid of hurting our friendship?"
"Bah, bah!" When Qiao Ying heard Cao Zhi's words, he was not serious again, and quickly clarified and corrected: "Who has friendship with you? You didn't let the strong wind flash your tongue! Humph!"
Cao Zhi couldn't change his military habit of talking to Li Dian and others in the military camp for a while, so he kept talking about "friendship" without much thought or meaning. But after saying it, Cao Zhi could only continue. Hehe giggled and said: "I think I'd better go back early and withdraw the troops early. If I go back later, my gang will really come into the city. Ah! Miss Qiao, you also need to give me more advice." Your dad, don’t mess around with Yuan Shu, he will end badly. Oh! And Brother Sun Ce...quot;
Cao Zhi originally wanted to continue talking, but when Qiao Ying mentioned Sun Ce, her brows furrowed. Cao Zhi thought that this was his private matter after all, and there was no need for him to get too excited. So he automatically shut up.
Qiao Ying knew that Cao Zhi meant well. After frowning, she nodded thoughtfully and said slowly: "I understand!"
As soon as Cao Zhi packed up his baggage, he really planned to leave. When he turned around, he suddenly thought of something and turned around again: "Oh! By the way, Qiao Ying, there is one more thing to tell your father. It is unlikely that Yuzhou will return to China again."
Reinforcements have been sent, and Sun Jian, the governor of Yuzhou, and Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, are probably fighting now."
"Ah?" Qiao Ying was really shocked by the unexpected news. She didn't even notice that Cao Zhi had called him by his first name just now. She just asked anxiously: "Why?"
Cao Zhidao: "Yuan Shu and Liu Biao had a falling out, so Yuan Shu sent Sun Jian to fight Liu Biao. This battle... This battle is not optimistic, so I have to ask your father to make plans in advance."
Cao Zhi originally wanted to say, "Sun Jian will die in this battle." But as soon as he thought about it, he told Qiao Ying that she might not believe it, and she was about to marry into the Sun family.
It hasn't been long, it's not good.
Qiao Ying was shocked by the many information Cao Zhi brought, but she also needed to chew and digest it slowly. She didn't even notice that Cao Zhi had finished speaking, so she cupped her hands towards Qiao Ying and said, "Cao Zhi thanked Qiao again."
Thanks to the eldest lady for saving my life, I'm leaving!"
When Cao Zhi was about to reach the door of the room, Qiao Ying came to her senses and shouted "Hey, hey!" "Cao Zhi, Cao Zhi, wait a minute, I haven't asked you why you came to our county house?"
Honestly, what are you doing here?"
This is an important question. From the moment Qiao Ying saw Cao Zhi, many possibilities flashed through her mind. But she thought the most likely one was related to her sister Qiao Shuang. Given her current audacity towards Cao Zhi,
According to the definition of a trapper, Cao Zhi took the risk, climbed over the wall, and sneaked into the county house. He must have wanted to find his sister Qiao Shuang. Looking for food or entering the wrong room were all lies. Qiao Ying swore that she would
The vague affection between my sister and this Cao Zhi was nipped in the bud and was never allowed to develop. We couldn't just let Cao Zhi leave like this. If he really found Qiao Shuang's room later, that would be okay.
.
When Cao Zhi was reminded by Qiao Ying, he remembered Chen Ling's incident. He didn't want to tell Qiao Ying the real thing to avoid unnecessary trouble. But Qiao Ying repeatedly asked Cao Zhi's purpose, and since he couldn't tell Qiao Ying,
Ying herself accidentally encountered a tunnel that flooded and collapsed, and entered Shouchun City by mistake. Then she simply said that she was looking for someone. The original intention of digging this tunnel was to inquire about Chen Ling's whereabouts. It would be impossible for Zhou Cang to come here again in the future.
Cao Zhi simply did it for him later.
So, he stopped, turned around and said, "By the way, I actually have something to ask you? Have you ever heard that your father, or that Chen Yu, caught a woman recently?"
Qiao Ying watched Cao Zhi turn around, walk back to her, and asked her seriously.
"Woman?" Qiao Ying blinked her big eyes and thought to herself: "It's a woman again. This Cao Zhi is really in trouble. He knows how to find women all day long. Humph! Fortunately, she is there to look after her sister.
, If my sister really gets into a good relationship with this person, there will be no happiness at all.quot;
