Chapter 149 Southern Tour for Recreation



Aro said this.

Qiao Jingjing scolded her once.

"Foolish! How could I have such a foolish person like you by my side?"

I live my life the same way you live yours!

There's only one man in the world, Guo Jia. Why would you risk your life for him?

Get up! Look at all these people in the room. Besides your sisters, there's your master, and all these ladies who care about you. Everyone knows you've been poisoned and has been worried sick about you for days and nights.

Of course, the matter between you and Guo Jia is my fault.

I'm the one who sent you to spy on him.

I thought you were a person of strong will, but Guo Jia is cunning. He knew you were highly skilled in martial arts and that he couldn't beat you, so he thought of other ways.

You are an innocent and naive girl, how could you understand these despicable men who pride themselves on being shrewd strategists and masters of manipulating people's hearts?

Oh well, a lesson learned.

The doctor saved your life with great difficulty.

Get well soon!

The princess and I have important matters to attend to in the next few days, and we need someone to protect us.

You're only thinking about people who aren't worth your time anymore!

He's gone, and that's it.

If he takes you away with him when he leaves, I'll accept it and wish you both happiness.

But he left, and you stayed. From then on, you were worlds apart, each living your own life. Whether he lives or dies is none of your business. Just live your own life well.

Qiao Jingjing explained things clearly, and everyone present nodded in agreement.

It was as if Aro had been enlightened.

That was in the autumn.

Guo Jia devised a series of strategies for Cao Cao, helping him to subdue the Wuhuan, pacify the Liaodong Peninsula, and kill Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi. After that, Guo Jia suddenly passed away.

Some people say that Guo Jia was too intelligent and died young.

Some people say it was just a cold, and that their bodies were too weak to handle it.

Only Guo Jia's wife believed that Guo Jia deserved it, having fallen into a love trap.

Opinions vary.

Cao Cao held a grand funeral for Guo Jia amidst tears and grief.

But it's far away in Jiangdong.

With Qiao Jingjing's encouragement, A Luo regained his confidence in life.

They packed their bags.

I'm preparing to accompany Qiao Jingjing on a tour of the southeastern region.

Qiao Jingjing's trip to the southeast was accompanied by dozens of highly skilled maids, including Ye Rong and A Luo, Ling Tong and two thousand soldiers, as well as Lu Xun, Zhuge Jin, Bu Zhi, her sworn brother Liu Ji, and her sister-in-law Sun Shangxiang.

A large and impressive procession.

Sun Quan was actually quite nervous when he saw off his sister-in-law Qiao Jingjing.

I'm afraid this group might encounter some unexpected situation on the road.

But he couldn't go against his sister-in-law's determination.

Even his mother, Madam Wu, was persuaded.

This is what Sun Quan's mother said:

“Your sister told me that she wanted to take your sister-in-law to the south or east to relax. Your sister said that your sister-in-law acts and speaks as usual, but she is always thinking about your brother. She can’t eat or sleep well, and she is afraid that she will not be able to take it.”

Your sister came up with a plan, saying that your sister-in-law loves farming the most.

Now you want to build an iron walled city in Jingkou, and you're going to carry out a large-scale construction project. How much manpower, material resources, and financial resources will you spend, and how much grain will you need to store!

Your sister-in-law is good at this.

Your sister suggested using this incident as a pretext, having Lu Xun and others accompany her, along with her younger brother from her maternal family, so that everyone could go out for a walk and change her mood.

I'm watching the children.

I've thought about this matter a lot. If it's unsafe, nowhere is safe. You can sit at home and trouble can strike from the sky. Why not be more carefree and decisive? What do you think?

It's truly unknown what method Sun Shangxiang used to persuade her mother. In the end, after discussing it with his mother, Lady Wu, Sun Quan finally agreed.

Sun Quan's sister-in-law and younger sister formed a tour group, bringing together a group of intellectuals and technical talents to inspect the soil, forests, fields, mountains, mineral deposits, and water sources in the southeast region.

Sun Quan only had some objections to one personnel arrangement, namely Lu Xun.

Sun Quan was well aware of Lu Xun's feelings for his sister-in-law, Qiao Jingjing.

But Lu Xun was a military officer in charge of land reclamation, so it was perfectly legitimate for him to travel with him.

Sun Quan made several calculations.

They also sent Zhuge Jin and arranged for Bu Zhi, among others.

Anyway, if you want to relax, then go relax.

If you want to see scenery, then go see scenery.

Of course, the autumn harvest of grain, forestry, land reclamation, mining, and other tasks must all be carried out without neglecting any of them.

This promise was also made to him personally by his sister-in-law, Qiao Jingjing.

Qiao Jingjing had already settled accounts with Sun Quan:

Although Guo Jia is dead, Cao Cao still has a large pool of strategists.

It was only a matter of time before Cao Cao pacified Liaodong and eliminated Yuan Shao's sons. Once Cao Cao had pacified the north, he would march south.

Time is running out for Jiangdong.

Besides stabilizing the regime, Jiangdong also needed to ensure the well-being of the people and develop the economy, and also prepare and stockpile sufficient supplies, food, troops, timber, and even gunpowder and iron ore…

Only in this way could they have the ability to contend with Cao Cao.

When Qiao Jingjing pointed this out, Sun Quan bowed three times to his sister-in-law.

"Thank you, sister-in-law. You always think of me first! Zhou Gongjin trained my navy and strengthened my military defenses, Zibu stabilized my internal regime, and it is you, sister-in-law, who stabilized agriculture, developed the economy, and stockpiled supplies. Although my elder brother is no longer here, you are still like my second parents."

Sun Quan's words were quite serious.

He was only a few months younger than Qiao Jingjing.

Now, with this added identity, Sun Quan is praising Qiao Jingjing to the skies.
