This woman was extremely beautiful.
Watch her debate with Zhang Zhao, leaving him furious with her insults. See how she navigates the Sun-style camp with ease, surviving dangerous situations with remarkable wit and resourcefulness.
She never showed the slightest bit of shyness from beginning to end.
Sun Ce understood this clearly and focused on just one key point.
“Miss Qiao, from ancient times to the present, no woman has ever called herself a witch. You call yourself a witch, are you trying to distance yourself from me? If I had someone throw you into the river, could you swim back to Lujiang City? I don’t believe you are not afraid of death.”
Of course I'm afraid of dying.
However, her true desire was to maintain a distance from Sun Ce and return safely to Lujiang City to continue her plantation business.
Qiao Jingjing pinched her fingers.
"Brother, if I beg you to let me go back, can you?"
Sun Ce thought to himself, "This is absolutely not allowed."
If the duck is already in your mouth, why let it fly away?
“Brother, I have no way to survive if I stay here. Zhang Zibu keeps saying he wants to kill me, and I just offended him again. He will find a chance to kill me eventually. You might as well do me a favor and let me live. I promise that as soon as I return to Lujiang City, I will immediately persuade my father and brothers, as well as all the people who helped Lu Kang defend the city, to go home and not get involved in the commotion.”
Qiao Jingjing swore to the heavens and predicted that Brother Sun would soon be able to take over Lujiang City as he wished.
But Brother Sun said, "I am determined to take Lujiang City."
"As for your Qiao family, all I need to do is tie you up and send you to the city gate, and they will obediently surrender, or even turn against me. Tell me, why would I go to such lengths to release you?"
Qiao Jingjing was really down this time.
Like a rag doll whose tendons have been removed.
The sergeant arrived with a rope.
Qiao Jingjing quickly lowered her head, ate the last bite of meat in her bowl, and drank the last bowl of soup.
He looked like he was about to be taken to the execution ground.
Zhang Zhao had initially thought Sun Ce was blinded by lust, but he hadn't expected his sudden idea to be so ingenious. Zhang Zhao also suddenly became quite generous:
"Eat up! Eat your fill! After you're done eating, we'll still tie you up tightly and stuff a rag in your mouth so you won't keep making noise when we get to the city gate."
When Zhang Zhao was in a good mood, his mind suddenly became much sharper.
"Bo Fu, your idea is good. In my opinion, although Qiao Xuan is a troublesome girl, she is really capable. If she can abandon her evil ways and leave Lu Kang to come to you, that would be excellent, understand? Give her a way out then!"
While Zhang Zhao was speaking, Qiao Jingjing was tied up again.
This time, even her freedom of speech was taken away.
Qiao Jingjing could only pitifully be slaughtered.
Sun Ce rallied his troops, leading his men and brothers, armed with heavy weapons, to launch another fierce attack on Lujiang City.
But just before setting off, Sun Quan quietly asked Zhang Zhao:
"Zibu, Miss Qiao previously refused to admit that she was a witch, and argued fiercely with you about it, even bringing up Xi Shi and Ba Zi. After that, when my elder brother said he only needed one person to bear children, she immediately admitted that she was a witch. Why do you think that is?"
Zhang Zhao thought about it for a moment.
Why?
This vixen is unwilling to bear Bo Fu's child!
Ah. She doesn't want to?
How could she not want to!
Zhang Zhao, sword in hand, rushed forward and pulled Qiao Jingjing, who was bound hand and foot, off her horse.
"You... ungrateful wretch! Bo Fu is handsome and outstanding, a dragon among men. So many girls have thrown themselves at him, but we still don't even look at them! And you, you look down on my Bo Fu? Open your eyes and take a look. Our Bo Fu has broad shoulders, a slender waist, rides a dappled horse, and wields a mighty spear. If you can bear Bo Fu's child, your Qiao family's ancestral graves will be emitting auspicious smoke!"
Zhang Zhao continued to curse, still feeling unsatisfied.
He reached out, ready to slap Da Qiao across the face, but changed his mind at the last minute and pinched her cheek instead.
Qiao Jingjing's face was pinched painfully.
Unfortunately, his mouth was gagged, and he couldn't utter a single clear word.
All that could be heard was Qiao Jingjing whimpering, her eyes wide open, and veins bulging on her cheeks and neck.
That means they were extremely dissatisfied with his idea.
Zhang Zhao truly understood this time.
This girl really didn't fancy Sun Bofu.
snort!
A blind fool.
"Let me tell you, you'd better stay in my hands until Lujiang City falls, and I won't kill you, okay? You're not a witch, okay? But you can't just use Bofu and then walk away. Where will that leave Bofu's reputation? Bofu saved your life, no, two lives—one in Lukang Prefecture, and one just now in my hands. You yourself said that Bofu saved you, and you still don't know how to be grateful."
"Being grateful is easy! Once Bo Fu has captured Lujiang City, you obediently follow him, and from then on, you behave yourself, doing your laundry and cooking, having children, and when you return to Bo Fu's hometown, serving your mother-in-law and taking care of your brothers, sisters, and sisters-in-law well. If you can do that, I won't hold your past offenses against me against you. I'm a very forgiving person!"
"But if you continue to ramble on and on, I will never forgive you. No matter how eloquent you are, no matter how high you can argue, Qiao, do you understand?"
Qiao Jingjing was extremely resentful.
But Zhang Zhao, carrying a sword, neither charged into battle with Sun Ce nor directed the attack from the drum; he simply escorted Qiao Jingjing.
Qiao Jingjing took a moment to think: Was she really that important to Zhang Zhao?
As the first secretary-general, shouldn't Zhang Changshi be standing at the forefront of the breached city like a strategist?
Fight to the death with a weak woman like her.
I'm speechless.
