Chapter 139 Destined, face reality

If it is used as a turning point, the following words are the focus of the sentence. Seeing Zhang Zhao change the subject, Long Xiang quickly asked: "What if?"

Zhang Zhao stroked his long beard and said meaningfully: "My lord has announced the happy event with the generals. If Long Sima deliberately blocks it, I, Jiangdong Jian'er, may not agree."

"Can I be seen as a threat? The last person who threatened me was Zheng Bao." Long Xiang showed no weakness in the face of threats.

Zhang Zhao was not angry. He raised two fingers and replied confidently: "Zheng Bao? He is indeed a figure to Long Sima, but in the eyes of our lord, he is like a piece of grass. Liu Xun, the prefect of Lujiang, knows, right? His Wan County has

There were more than 10,000 defenders, but it was a pity that they only held out for two days. Long Sima had better think twice."

After hearing this, Long Xiang raised his eyebrows and asked: "This is a major matter of marriage. If the matchmaker doesn't agree, if the Qiao family doesn't agree, General Sun plans to marry by force? Is he so in need of women?"

"I have just said that it doesn't matter whether the Qiao family agrees or not. What matters is Long Sima's attitude. I heard that it will not be easy to rebuild Hefei. Don't let the people suffer anymore. Long Sima is young and promising. Master Lu is a master of Jianghuai. You guys

You will make a wise choice and you can discuss it carefully."

After Zhang Zhao said this, he stood up and wanted to say goodbye. Lu Su also stood up awkwardly. Long Xiang murmured: "I have to ask Mrs. Qiao for instructions on this matter."

"You still have a lot of time left before my lord arrives in Hefei. I hope you two can make a wise decision."

After Zhang Zhao said this, he handed over his hand and resigned: "Whether it's a matter of asking for instructions or discussing it, I've brought you the words, so I'll take my leave."

"Mr. Zibu, wait a moment." Long Xiang called out loudly.

Zhang Zhao turned around and looked back: "Is there anything else, Long Sima?"

Long Xiang said with a bitter look on his face: "The Qiao family and I have a deep connection. If Mrs. Qiao insists on disobeying her, it would be unethical for me to force her. Can this matter be handled in a compromise?"

"compromise?"

Zhang Zhaoxu looked at Long Xiang and asked, "What tricks do you want to play?"

"As Mr. Yuan Shu said, some of Yuan Shu's family members and orphans are also in Hefei, and he also has several daughters of the right age." Long Xiang hesitated before speaking.

Zhang Zhao was startled when he heard this, and couldn't help but secretly praise Long Xiang for his quick wit. He hesitated and said, "My lord and Gong Jin asked for the second bridge, so Long Sima replaced it like this."

"I will try my best to persuade the Qiao family, but if you are not afraid of ten thousand, you are afraid of the worst. It is always right to be prepared with both hands." After Long Xiang prevaricated Zhang Zhao, he signaled to Lu Su and said, "Mr. Zibu has worked hard on his mission, and Zijing takes it."

Bring some gifts, and then send Mr. out of the city."

"only."

"Long Sima. This is inappropriate."

"Sir, Mr. Long is running for peace in Hefei. How can Mr. Long not know the etiquette? I also want to ask Mrs. Qiao for instructions. I cannot send Mr. Qiao out of the city in person. I hope you will understand."

"Long Sima is so polite."

Long Xiang was a project manager in his previous life, and he had the ability to talk nonsense to others. The reason why he was so polite to Zhang Zhao was not only to make good friends with this "French counselor", but also to make Sun Ce take it lightly.

Historically, when Sun Ce took the bridge and Zhou Yu took the small bridge, Long Xiang first ruled out his favorite Xiao Qiao, and did not want Da Qiao to marry the short-lived Sun Ce. However, he had to ask Chen's opinion specifically. If the other party took a fancy to Sun Ce's family background,

If he is willing to let his daughter become a concubine, Long Xiang, an outsider, cannot stop him.

Letting Yuan Shu's daughter serve as Xiaoqiao's substitute was a temporary plan devised by Long Xiang. He was worried that Yuan's family would have nothing to eat in Hefei, so he was sending them away one by one.

Long Xiang sent Zhang Zhao to the door of the mansion, called Lu Su aside and whispered: "I will go to the back house first to ask for instructions. Zijing will return as soon as possible after sending Zibu off, and we can discuss countermeasures together."

"Do you want Ziyang to call?"

"Can."

"I can spare it."

When Liu Ye and others first arrived in Hefei, Long Xiang did not arrange work for them, considering that he was a member of the Han clan and had plenty of belongings, so he did not have to worry about food and clothing. Only Hao Meng had a strong sense of staying.

Hao Meng was once a strong general under Lu Bu and served as the city defense captain of Xiapi, so Long Xiang arranged for him to go to the left camp of the city defense and serve as deputy general to Xu Ding.

Long Xiang saw Lu Su and Zhang Zhao off and walked straight towards the back house.

At this time, the mother and daughter of the Qiao family were also deep in thought because of the news brought by Qiao Niao.

Mrs. Chen has never thought about the disgrace of being a concubine, but now that the Qiao family is in decline, the concubines are not bad. One is Sun Ce, whom she has long fancied, and the other is Zhou Yu, who has a better background, so

Hesitation and confusion came to mind.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Qiao Wan took the lead and asked Qiao Min: "What is Long Yunqi's opinion? Has he agreed?"

"No." Qiao Min shook his head and added: "Long Yunqi seems to be trying to evade, but Zhang Zhao's attitude is very tough. I'm afraid this matter will not end well, and Sun Ce may want to annex Hefei."

"My mother wants to marry my eldest sister to Long Yunqi, but it seems to be quite difficult now. If Long Yunqi refuses, he will have to fight Sun Ce, otherwise the city of Hefei will be destroyed. Alas." Qiao Wan sighed deeply.

Qiao Wan nodded in agreement: "Sun Ce has swept across Jiangdong, and Long Yunqi may not be his opponent. I heard that he is attacking Lujiang River recently."

"Sun Ce is fighting in Lujiang? Why did he come to Hefei?" Chen was puzzled.

Qiao Wan interjected: "I heard that many refugees have fled to Hefei recently. Maybe Sun Ce has conquered Lujiang. I'm also worried that Long Yunqi won't be able to defend it."

"If we hadn't come to Hefei, would we not be what we are today? Long Yunqi wouldn't have had such troubles? Maybe this is the fate of our sisters. Is it true that beauty brings disaster?"

Qiao Wei, who had been silent all this time, suddenly sighed, which made the other three people stunned. Chen was the first to refute: "How can beauty be such a disaster? They are all excuses for men to fight for power and gain. Xiao Wei, please don't be pessimistic. If you don't want to

If you want to marry someone as a concubine, I will discuss it with Long Xiang later and let you get married tonight."

"Ah? This" Qiao Wei blushed in embarrassment.

Qiao Wan immediately reminded: "Mother, this is inappropriate. If Sun Ce really covets the eldest sister's beauty, he might as well get married in advance. That would not only harm Long Yunqi, but the eldest sister would also be easily humiliated."

Qiao Wan's words were like the sound of a school bell, making Chen's room quiet again.

After a while, Qiao Miao suddenly stood up in shock, swallowed her saliva and said: "Mother, eldest sister, second sister is right."

"Um?"

Seeing Mrs. Chen, Qiao Wei was attracted to her. Qiao Ma danced and analyzed: "Just now, the eldest sister talked about fate. If we went to Lujiang and the two sisters fell into the hands of Cai Ji, and now Wan County is conquered by Sun Ce, if he and

Zhou Yu is a greedy person, how can he let you go? Now that I think about it, it is really destined."

Mrs. Chen shook her head bitterly: "I thought you had any great ideas."

Qiao Wei said sadly: "Since it's fate, it's better to face the reality. Long Yunqi treats the Qiao family well. My daughter doesn't want to implicate him. Mother, please wait."

"Sister, although Sun Ce is famous, Long Yunqi is also a very good person, so you still have to have some confidence." Qiao Wan comforted in a low voice.

Qiao Wei shook her head and said: "Second sister, you should also face the reality. If you want to be a concubine, you can be a concubine. Zhou Yu is Sun Ce's general. He should be your destination. I heard that this man is both talented and beautiful. Maybe he can be with you."

Great story of achievement"
