Can Qiao Jingjing stand at the entrance of the main tent?
Even if she didn't hear anything.
Absolutely not.
Even though she was held hostage by Brother Sun the whole way, she didn't even get to see his stunning good looks.
She has no regrets at all.
She felt it was time to come up with a better way to escape. For example, since the moat was so deep, she might as well casually roll down into it and play dead, thus ending the problem once and for all.
Anyway, when she was in college, besides being good at breeding seedlings, planting fruit trees, driving tractors, and harvesting wheat, she was also a swimming champion.
Inside the military tent, Sun Ce and his brothers and subordinates had already discussed their grand plan for breaching the city three days later—a direct assault. Zhang Zhao, then forty years old, raised a rather important question.
"The general brought back a woman of unknown origin?"
Sun Ce has not yet spoken.
Under Zhang Zhao's imposing gaze, the two brothers, Sun Quan and Sun Yi, obediently nodded.
"General! Do you know the story of Bao Si? Beautiful women are often the cause of trouble. The capture of the city is urgent, and we can only succeed, not fail. This woman is very likely a spy sent by Lu Kang." Ever since Sun Ce entrusted him with important responsibilities, Zhang Zhao has been overseeing everything for him.
Sun Ce remained silent for a while.
He was the eldest child in his family, and his father died early.
The days of struggling to make a living in the chaos of war with his widowed mother and younger brothers were filled with blood, tears, and heartache.
“Zibu’s words make sense. My achievements are yet to be accomplished, my brothers are still young, and I have yet to avenge my father. Yuan Shu keeps praising me, but in reality, he is afraid of me and wants to control me. Of the more than 10,000 men my father had back then, Yuan Shu only returned a few hundred, yet he urged me to recruit soldiers from my uncle and cousin. After I finally managed to gather my troops, Yuan Shu sent me to fight Lu Kang and promised me the position of Prefect of Lujiang. Zibu once said that Yuan Shu is using me as a pawn, but I have no better option than to fight one battle at a time, win this battle first, and gain a foothold.”
Having said that, Zhang Zhao thought Sun Ce had figured it out.
When Sun Ce spoke of Qiao Jingjing, the situation was quite different.
"Zibu, you may not know this, but the woman outside is lovely and lively, and extremely interesting. She is none other than the eldest daughter of Qiao Xuan's family in Luoyang. Four or five years ago, Zibu, you must have met her father. Like Zibu, her family fled from the north to the south and now farms and raises silkworms in Lujiang City. They have no connection with Lu Kang."
No connection?
Zhang Zhao stared wide-eyed. How come he had heard that this woman was at Lu Kang's house to discuss marriage?
Hey.
He was blinded by her; isn't she a femme fatale?
Zhang Zhao flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly, "Bo Fu, you've been bewitched! I thought that although you're young, you've seen a lot over the years and had a wide circle of friends. What kind of woman haven't you seen? Take that one outside, for example. Whether she's from the Qiao family or someone else, Bo Fu, it's not normal for her to be here at this time. Cao Mengde said, 'Better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free.' Liu Xuande said, 'Brothers are like limbs, wives are like clothes.' How can a man destined for great things be preoccupied with such trivial matters!"
"How can this be a small matter? It's about my marriage!"
"Please consider this carefully, Zibu, and don't jump to conclusions. Also! Zibu, Da Qiao said she can draw maps, devise the Longzhong Plan, and divide the world into three kingdoms to seize Jingzhou... Aren't you interested in these things, Zibu?"
Sun Ce said this, and Zhang Zhao was so angry that his beard trembled.
And Da Qiao? That's so cheesy.
Silly boy! That witch is just talking nonsense to fool you, you big bastard.
Enraged, Zhang Zhao grabbed his sword and rushed out, ready to personally finish off Da Qiao outside.
