Hearing this, Duke Qiao also looked happy. The Pang family was very powerful in Jingzhou, and Pang Tong was also on good terms with many Jingzhou nobles. With Pang Tong's help, it would be much easier to rescue the two daughters...
"Then I'll thank you here first." After saying this, Duke Qiao bowed his hands to Pang Tong.
Pang Tong waved his hand and said, "You're welcome. In that case, I'd better leave as soon as possible."
Mr. Qiao turned to the middle-aged housekeeper and said, "Go and pack your things quickly." After that, he added, "Pick up the important things and bring them with you. The others will stay here for the time being, leaving a few people here to guard the yard."
The middle-aged man immediately stood up and went to pack his things. Duke Qiao looked at Pang Tong and sighed: "I don't know what evil I did in my previous life to make my two daughters end up like this."
Seeing Mr. Qiao's depressed expression, Pang Tong comforted him and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Qiao. I've also heard about Liu Qi. Rumor has it that besides being a bit cowardly, he also has a reputation as a virtuous man. The two young ladies may not have really committed a murderous act."
"I hope so." Qiao Gong said helplessly.
At this moment, a young boy ran in. Seeing this, Mr. Qiao immediately looked a little gloomy and shouted: "Damn it, didn't I tell you not to come and disturb me?" The yard here was very large, and Mr. Qiao was worried, so he moved in alone.
He moved to a courtyard close to the inside to cover up his whereabouts.
Seeing Mr. Qiao getting angry, the boy hurriedly said: "Mr. Qiao, how many people want to see you outside the door?"
"No," Mr. Qiao immediately refused.
The boy swallowed and said, "They said they were sent by the lady."
"What? Are you telling the truth?" Mr. Qiao originally blamed the boy for being ignorant, but he was shocked when he heard what he said.
"They said that the two young ladies are currently in Jingzhou and cannot return. They were afraid that Mr. Qiao would be worried, so they sent someone to explain the situation." The young man said hurriedly.
At this time, Duke Qiao had calmed down. The two daughters were trapped in Jingzhou at the moment. Logically speaking, it was impossible to send someone to send a message. Duke Qiao looked at Pang Tong and asked, "Shi Yuan, how do you think this matter should be handled?"
"No matter what, Mr. Qiao should meet them first and see what they say?" Pang Tong pointed to the door.
"Yes, yes." Mr. Qiao said to the boy: "Bring them in and prepare the guards in the courtyard." When he mentioned his daughter just now, he suddenly panicked, but when Pang Tongyi reminded him, he suddenly woke up.
Came over.
The boy hurriedly went to prepare, and not long after, he saw more than ten guards entering the courtyard to guard. As soon as the guards were ready, they saw the boy walking in with four or five people. These four or five people were Jinfan sent by Liu Qi to Jiangdong.
Thief member.
Seeing Mr. Qiao, several people bowed and saluted, and the leader said: "I have met Mr. Qiao."
Duke Qiao nodded and said, "Who are you? Why do you want to see me?"
The leader said: "The next few people have been ordered by the two ladies to pick up Mr. Qiao and reunite with him in Jingzhou." In the eyes of the Flying Tiger Guards and Jinfan Thieves, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao will become Liu Qi's women sooner or later, so they both privately
Call me Da Qiao and Mrs. Xiao Qiao.
Hearing 'Madam', Mr. Qiao's heart had already turned cold. He thought that his two daughters might have been poisoned, and his face became gloomy.
After speaking, the leader took out a ball of brocade from his arms and handed it to Mr. Qiao: "This is the handwriting of the two ladies. I would like Mr. Qiao to read it."
Duke Qiao snorted coldly, took the brocade with a gloomy face, and began to read it. After reading it, Gong Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, and his face was not as gloomy as before. He handed the brocade in his hand to Pang Tong who was standing aside.
Pang Tong was also confused about what was said in his heart. He was a little surprised when he took it and looked at it. He pondered for a while and nodded to Duke Qiao, indicating that what was said in the letter was probably true.
Duke Qiao turned his head and looked at the group of people and said, "Let's go to the front yard to rest for a while. When I'm ready, I will go to Jingzhou with you."
The leader glanced at the two and knew that they had something to discuss, so he nodded and said, "Please make preparations early, Qiao." After that, he led a few people to the front yard.
After several people left, Duke Qiao looked at Pang Tong and asked, "Shi Yuan, is what this letter says true?"
Pang Tong pointed to the brocade in his hand and said, "Mr. Qiao, can you be sure that the handwriting on this letter belongs to the two ladies?"
Mr. Qiao nodded and said: "I personally taught my two daughters calligraphy, and they are very familiar with it. The handwriting on this letter is indeed Da Qiaoer's handwriting."
Pang Tong handed the brocade in his hand to Qiao Gong and said: "There is no force in what is said in this letter, and Mr. Qiao also said that this handwriting belongs to the eldest lady, so what is said in this letter is true."
He cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations to Mr. Qiao, these Mr. Qiao can rest assured."
Qiao Gong also breathed a sigh of relief, laughed and said: "It's really a bright future, how pitiful the sky is." Just after he finished speaking, he turned to Pang Tong and smiled bitterly: "Although my two daughters are fine, who else will dare to marry them in the future?
?”
Pang Tong shook his head and said, "I'm afraid Liu Qi did this because he was interested in the two ladies. After Mr. Qiao arrives in Jingzhou, he can ask the two ladies about their thoughts and make a decision then."
Hearing this, Mr. Qiao frowned. The two daughters became what they are now because of Liu Qi. Wouldn't it be an advantage for Liu Qi to marry the two daughters to Liu Qi? But now the reputation of the two daughters has been ruined, and
Which aristocratic family dares to marry two daughters as their main wives?
For a moment, Duke Qiao was in a dilemma. He could only make a decision after seeing his two daughters. After making up his mind, Duke Qiao invited several Jinfan thieves here.
When several soldiers saw Mr. Qiao, the leader asked: "Can Mr. Qiao make a decision?"
Duke Qiao nodded and said, "I will follow you to Jingzhou."
The leader smiled and said: "In this case, I can rest assured." After saying that, he looked at Pang Tong aside and said: "I wonder what I should call this person?" He had noticed Pang Tong for a long time, and he was able to sit with Duke Qiao at such a young age.
It must be extraordinary. Thinking of Liu Qi's explanation before leaving, he asked casually.
Although Qiao Gong didn't know what he meant, he still pointed to Pang Tong beside him and said: "This is my good friend. His surname is Pang Tong and his courtesy name is Shiyuan. He comes from the Pang family in Jingzhou."
"But Fengchu Pang Shiyuan?" Just after Mr. Qiao finished speaking, the leader exclaimed.
Pang Tong on the side was a little confused, but he still held up his hands and said: "It's the one below. How do you know this?"
"I've seen you, sir." Several people said to Pang Tong, who was headed by a salute: "My lord once said that a man with a crouching dragon and a phoenix can make peace in the world. The military advisor also often mentions you, saying that he has amazing talents. I didn't expect today."
I am truly lucky to meet you here."
"Oh, who is your military advisor?" He was not surprised that Liu Qi knew him, but he didn't know who the military advisor Pang Tong was.
"My military advisor, whose surname is Xu, Mingshu, and whose courtesy name is Yuan Zhi," said the leader. The purpose of his trip was to borrow Duke Qiao to go to Jingzhou, but he came here with a few people Liu Qi told him to look for in Jiangdong before leaving. This is Pang Tong.
one.
"Is it him?" Pang Tongyi looked surprised. He and Xu Shu were good friends. He didn't expect to find someone to help him after not seeing each other for a few days. Now he was even more curious about Liu Qi. Liu Biao had once recruited Xu Shu, but he was rejected. Now
What ability does Liu Qi have to recruit Xu Shu?
The leader stepped forward and said: "My lord is very thirsty for talents, and he admires you very much. Please ask him to go to Jingzhou when you have time." Seeing Pang Tong at this time, he had to cheer up and recruit Liu Qi. He was originally there.
Among the Jinfan thieves, he was responsible for liaising with all parties, and he had heard about these things. In addition, Liu Qi's introduction before leaving was correct. At this time, he was a little excited in his heart. If he could persuade this person to go to Jingzhou
Meeting the Lord was a great achievement. Not only could he stand out, but other Jinfan thieves would also be proud of themselves.
