Meanwhile, Qiao Manman had just written a letter, and Qiao Jingjing, under Zhang Zhao's surveillance, were extremely restricted in their freedom, yet they could only stay idly in Sun's camp.
Qiao Jingjing and Zhang Zhao had nothing more to say to each other, and Zhang Zhao was too lazy to pay attention to Qiao Jingjing.
Qiao Manman, on the other hand, is thoughtful and full of worries.
Thinking of the difficult situation of the two sisters, and worried about their father and brothers, and recalling the torment and persecution Liu Ajiao had inflicted on them, as well as the surprise and joy when they first saw the Zhou flag on the official road, they then thought of Zhou Yu.
Her heart pounded wildly.
Although Qiao Jingjing was only 16 years old at the time, she was, after all, a soul who had received modern higher education and a memory with rich life experiences.
With just one glance, she could see the stirrings of spring in Qiao Manman's eyes.
As an older sister, and as an older sister with a deep affection for her younger sister.
She needs to talk to Qiao Manman.
We discussed it very carefully.
While Zhang Zhao was posing in that corner, Qiao Jingjing quickly...
"When choosing a man, you must choose someone with a broad mind, someone who is low-key and steady, and someone who will live a long life."
?
Xiao Qiao has a pair of bright, sparkling eyes.
Suddenly she understood what it meant, and her face turned bright red.
"Sister, no matter how handsome that person is, he'll kick the bucket in ten or eight years. They say he was hit by a stray arrow during the Battle of Red Cliffs and didn't recover for a long time."
Sigh, you wouldn't understand even if I told you!
Just remember one thing: you're in the prime of your life. Sister, speaking of which, let me tell you something honestly. There's a handsome young man in the north named Sima. You might not have heard of him, but that's okay.
That young man will outlive Cao Cao's descendants, and then you and he will become the empress.
Or, like that second son of the Sun family outside, he'll definitely outlive Zhou Yu and Sun Quan! Really.
Don't disbelieve me. I'm your sister, would I harm you?
I remember last time, she made the unprecedented prediction in front of Old Man Qiao that Sun Ce would break through Lujiang City and kill dozens of members of the Lu family, but in the end, Old Man Qiao absolutely did not believe her.
For the sake of her sister's lifelong happiness, she disregarded everything else and offered a candid assessment of the various men in the Three Kingdoms period from a modern perspective.
They even came up with terrible ideas.
The result, however, left Xiao Qiao looking aggrieved.
"I don't understand what you're saying at all. But it's really not good for you to say that. Not to mention that we're currently living under someone else's roof, it's immoral to curse someone's short life without any reason."
Xiao Qiao considered Da Qiao's words carefully; her words sounded erratic and nonsensical.
Could it be that he was so frightened by Liu Xier that day that he lost his mind?
When we get back to Lujiang City, we need to find a doctor to give my sister a proper check-up.
Zhang Zhao's original duty was not to stay at the camp and watch over Qiao Jingjing, but he took on this task voluntarily.
Then he suddenly noticed the two sisters whispering to each other, one muttering to herself, the other keeping her head down and silent, one speaking earnestly, the other not quite understanding.
Zhang Zhao had no idea what Qiao Jingjing was up to, but based on his understanding of her, he knew that what she said was definitely not something nice.
Zhang Zhao walked over again, carrying his gleaming sword, and brandished it in front of Qiao Jingjing.
"What are you two talking about? I heard you mention Sun Lang and Zhou Lang!"
Qiao Jingjing quickly waved her hand, indicating that she hadn't said anything.
Qiao Manman nodded obediently, "He didn't say anything!"
Zhang Zhao still didn't believe it and wanted to threaten him a couple more times.
As a result, several masked men in black descended from the sky, their sole purpose being to capture Qiao Jingjing.
Who is Da Qiao?
Qiao Jingjing was probably used to this kind of scene, and she consciously raised her hand to indicate that she was the one in question.
Qiao Manman was quite frightened when she saw such a scene for the first time.
She grabbed Qiao Jingjing's hand tightly: "She's not Da Qiao!"
The masked thief looked her over again and asked Qiao Manman, "If she isn't you, then who are you?"
By this time, the group had already knocked Zhang Zhao unconscious, swiftly tied up Qiao Jingjing, and left Qiao Manman behind.
So Qiao Manman jumped up and shouted, "Help! Help! Thieves have broken in! They've kidnapped my sister!"
Fortunately, Qiao Manman shouted.
This further convinced the thieves that they had arrested the right person. This was Da Qiao, the person Prefect Lu wanted.
This time, Qiao Jingjing was simply taken away; her hands and feet weren't tied up, and her mouth wasn't gagged.
They quickly passed through the secret passage leading out of Lujiang City, entered the city from outside, and delivered the package to Chen Tian, the advisor to Prefect Lu, at lightning speed.
Chen Tian did not know Qiao Jingjing.
They even specifically sought out the maids and servants in the Lu residence who had seen Qiao Jingjing that day to confirm it.
It is confirmed to be true.
Chen Tian then went to Lu Kang and explained the situation.
"Reporting to the Prefect, the person is now in our hands. Next..."
Prefect Lu did not explicitly state what to do next.
He simply tacitly allowed his advisor, Chen Tian, to proceed using the previous method.
Then, in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the news that Qiao Jingjing was in the hands of Prefect Lu reached Old Man Qiao's ears in a flurry.
Not long after Old Man Qiao and Qiao Er and Qiao San returned home, not only did Qiao Manman disappear, but He Miaomiao also disappeared.
Qiao Er was devastated. He hadn't gained any merit on his mission to guard the city gate, and when he returned home, his wife was gone.
Qiao San was slightly more lucid.
"Second sister-in-law must have been robbed! Let's go report it to the authorities."
Report to the authorities?
What's the use of reporting it to the authorities? The local magistrate, Prefect Lu, is busy fighting Sun Ce; he has no time to deal with the thieves.
