The Qiao sisters are just two little girls now, but the day will come when the little girls grow up. Diao Chan recognizes them as goddaughters in order to completely block Liu Xin's "evil thoughts". Diao Chan is not a kind person. As a jealous person, she had no choice but to do this, because before leaving, Ma Yun told her to keep a close eye on Liu Xin and not let Liu Xin go looking for "Jiangdong Erqiao". Who knew that she would actually meet the Qiao sisters here? , Diao Chan was so anxious that she came up with such a trick.
Liu Xin couldn't help but feel funny. No matter how lustful he was, he wouldn't be interested in such a big-assed little girl. Why would he need to recognize her for sex? However, he had always loved his woman very much, so naturally he would not disobey Diao. Chan was willing, so she turned to Qiaoyuan and asked: "Except the bridge member, what do you mean?"
Qiao Yuan's temper was really bad and tough. If it had been anyone else, such a good thing would have been a dream, but Qiao Yuan yelled at the top of his lungs: "No! None of you are allowed to take away my daughter!"
Diao Chan still held sisters Qiao Liang and Qiao Wan in her arms, and said with a smile: "In addition to the bridge members, I also know that my master asked you to serve as a civilian supervisor, which must be very embarrassing for you. If you don't agree, I'm afraid that this family fortune will not be saved, let alone my wife and daughter. If you agree, are you worried that the officials in Lujiang will give you little shoes to wear, making it difficult for the Qiao family to move in the countryside in the future? "
Qiaoyuan wanted to get angry when Diaochan told him what he was thinking. But Diaochan spoke very slowly and softly, and he really couldn't get angry. After a long while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Even if I, Qiaoyuan, risk my life, I won't be able to get angry." I won’t let you take my daughter away.”[
When Mrs. Qiao and her daughter heard Qiao Yuan's decisive words, they both panicked.
Diao Chan continued to say slowly: "Besides the bridge member, I didn't say that I would take your daughter away. I just wanted to be my godmother. Why are you so anxious? Have you ever thought about what would happen if you and my master As your in-laws, even if you report the illegal behavior of officials from now on, which official will dare to bully you?"
Mrs. Qiao finally understood. It turned out that this lady was thinking about her own family, and she quickly said to Qiao Yuan: "Master, just..."
Qiao Yuan waved his hand, interrupting Mrs. Qiao's words, frowning, as if it was difficult to make this decision.
The taller girl was quite smart and broke away from Diao Chan's hand. She felt deeply blessed and said calmly: "My dear, I have met my godfather and godmother."
This must be Da Qiao. Seeing this, Xiao Qiao quickly imitated her sister and called out to her godfather and godmother. Lu Qiling poked her head out from behind Liu Xin and snorted disdainfully.
Suddenly, a little maid ran in from outside the garden and said to Liu Xin tremblingly: "Liu, Mr. Liu, the man outside said he has something important to report."
When Lujiang was first decided, no one dared to take it lightly. Hearing that Ju Shou had something important to report, Liu Xin didn't want to stay any longer. She waved her hand and said, "Qiaoyuan, the matter is settled like this. I will send someone to hire you later." As a civilian supervisor in Lujiang County, although there is no salary, there are still necessary funds and subsidies. In short, you only need to spend more energy, and the financial burden will not be increased on you. Also, the Seventh Madam accepts her job. The marriage has been decided, and I will send someone to deliver the gifts to the two ladies in a moment. Liu took his leave."
Diao Chan also saluted Qiaoyuan and his wife and said: "Except the bridge members, Mrs. Qiao, don't worry, I don't want to take away your daughter. Sometimes I will come to see them, and if they are willing, I will You can go to my place and have some fun."
As important matters were important, Liu Xin did not wait for Qiao Yuan's answer, but pulled Lu Qiling and said, "Ling'er, let's go."
Lu Qiling quietly turned around, with a proud look on her little face. Her godfather should treat her better. Not far away, Qiaoyuan's family stood in the pavilion. This "catastrophic disaster" came and went quickly. It's so quick. Just recognizing this godson relationship, I wonder if it will be a blessing or a curse in the future?
Before Liu Xin walked out of the garden gate, she saw Ju Shou looking this way with eager eyes. Diao Chan understood the importance, pulled Lu Qiling and fell behind.
Jushou came forward with excitement on his face and said in a low voice: "My lord, General Xu and the others have returned to the prefect's mansion, and the thing has been found."
Ever since he heard Liu Xin say that the golden-armored god told him to be kind to the people of the world, Jushu recognized Liu Xin as his true destiny. Now that he had obtained the jade seal that had been lost for many years, how could he not be excited? However, Liu Xin only responded faintly and walked towards the carriage. It seemed that he did not take the imperial seal to heart at all, which made Ju Shou sigh and admire Liu Xin even more.
The specially-made carriage can see the outside from the inside, but the situation inside cannot be seen from the outside. Liu Xin finally showed a smile. Diao Chan ruined Liu Xin's "good thing" today, and she was still a little uneasy. Seeing Liu Xin smiled, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said, "Master, did Lord Ju bring some good news?"
Normally, Diao Chan would not ask these things. However, Liu Xin was in a good mood when she learned that the imperial seal had been recovered. She did not mind and said with a smile: "Chan'er, what do you think today? Are you going to recognize those two little girls as your adopted daughters? It’s not really to save Qiao Yuan from worries."
Diao Chan had taken off her veil at this time, with a blush flying on her cheeks, and said shyly: "Master, my family also wants to have a pair of such beautiful daughters."
Liu Xin laughed loudly and said: "That's not easy yet. Let's just work harder in the future."
Diao Chan's pretty face turned even redder.[
Lujiang City is not big, and the carriage quickly returned to the prefect's mansion. Liu Xin strode back to the hall, and Xu Chu presented a yellow cloth bag with both hands, and opened it gently. Inside was the coin that all the princes coveted. When Liu Xin was a thief in his previous life, he also dabbled in various jade antiques. This jade seal is white and moist, and it is indeed a high-quality jade. Judging from its age, it should be hundreds of years old, especially one corner is incomplete. The gold inlay is consistent with historical records, and it should be a genuine jade seal passed down from the country.
General Yang kept watching Liu Xin nervously, until Liu Xin took the jade seal in his hand and played with it for a long time, a smile gradually appeared on his face, and then he stepped forward and said: "Your Excellency, I am lucky enough to live up to my mission. I don't know. What the Lord promised..."
Liu Xin waved her hand and said: "I will never go back on what Liu said. However, there is still something that can be done for you to do. I wonder if you dare to take it?"
General Yang was stunned for a moment, then raised his hands and said, "Please make it clear, sir!"
Liu Xin nodded and said: "Ji Ling and others still have 70,000 to 80,000 people resisting in Jiujiang. If Mr. Yang can persuade them to surrender, Liu will appoint you as the prefect of a county."
General Yang fell silent immediately. He was in a dilemma whether to accept or not to accept this errand. Everyone knew that going to Jiujiang to recruit Ji Ling and others at this time was a huge risk. If he was not careful, he would lose his life. However, , if he doesn't accept this job, he will always be a commoner. For a person who is almost ranked among the three nobles, being a commoner for the rest of his life is the ending he least wants, even if he spends a whole day Even fine clothes and fine food are not enough.
After Liu Xin said this, he no longer looked at General Yang, but put the jade seal in his hand back on the yellow silk cloth, slowly wrapped it up, handed it to Jushou and said: "My lord, please send a man." The team rushed to Xiangyang at night and must return this imperial seal to Queen Mother He as soon as possible."
Jushou was stunned and immediately understood what Liu Xin meant. Is there any difference between the imperial jade seal in the hands of Queen Mother He and Liu Xin?
General Yang suddenly beat someone up. It turned out that Liu Xin was different from Yuan Shu. He had no ambition to take the Chuanguo Jade Seal as his own, so it was really impossible for him to just recover the Chuanguo Jade Seal. What kind of future can he gain for himself? And the position of the prefect could not help but seduce General Yang. He finally couldn't help it. He stepped forward, raised his chest and said, "I am willing to go to Jiujiang for you, and I vow to persuade Ji Ling." Wait for someone to come down!"
Liu Xin waved her hand and said: "Well, Liu will wait for Mr. Yang's good news in Lujiang. If anyone comes, escort Mr. Yang to Jiujiang immediately!"
Seeing General Yang leaving the hall in high spirits, Jushu said worriedly: "My lord, Ji Ling is very loyal to Yuan Shu. I'm afraid it will be difficult for General Yang to persuade him. Should we not execute Yuan Shu for the time being to make Ji Ling afraid?"
Liu Xin sneered and said: "General Yang is an unconventional villain. He went to Jiujiang this time, and Liu did not expect him to come back. Yuan Shu openly proclaimed himself emperor and was so rebellious. Not killing him would not be enough to anger the people! Now the imperial seal has been handed down. Now that he has been found, there is no use in keeping him any longer. Pass on my general order to take Yuan Shu and his son to the mayor immediately, behead him in the street, and expose his body for three days!"
Two days later, news came from Jiujiang. Ji Ling refused to surrender, and cut General Yang into two pieces with a sword, and then led the remaining army north to Qiao County and surrendered to Cao Cao. When Liu Xin heard the news, he sighed. After a while, he ordered someone to send a pension to General Yang's family and move his family to Xiangyang to be taken care of by Cai Mao.
Two days later, Xu Huang, Gan Ning, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao and others all came to Lujiang one after another, and Guan Yu was also tied up and taken over. Seeing Guan Yu who was tied up like a rice dumpling, Liu Xin finally understood what was going on. Why have I felt like something was wrong for a few days?
It was Liu Xin's intention to have Gao Shun keep an eye on Guan Yu and arrest him as soon as Guan Yu violated military discipline. Liu Xin was not worried that Guan Yu would surrender and rebel again. He did this to temper Guan Yu's temper. , lest he continue to be self-willed and endanger his own life in future wars. To achieve this goal, he must be restrained by strict military discipline.
But Liu Xin discovered that Guan Yu was not the only one who violated military discipline during the actual battle. In this attack on Lujiang City, Zhang Fei violated military discipline, Taishi Ci also violated military discipline, and even Zhang He also violated military discipline in the end. It was not in their eyes. There is no military discipline of the Han Dynasty, but they have always fought like this, and they have become accustomed to it.
Liu Xin suddenly came up with the idea of setting up a special military academy to provide special training for his senior generals. This special academy is called the Dahan Lecture Hall!
