Chapter 1034 You are lonely, but you should be happy
The big boat was sailing calmly on the river, and the moonlight was shining on the slightly turbulent water. The sparkling light and shadow made the river even more romantic.
The soldiers on the deck have already rested. This is Yi Xiaotian's order——
Earlier, he sent Li Fu's men and Sun Shangxiang's maids to come to the riverside to wait for orders. Now it seems that these are indeed quite foresighted decisions.
I heard that this big ship was approved by Li Fu's subordinates who contacted officials along the way to the north and finally got the permission directly from Yecheng.
The permission came from Master Mao. After getting Xunke, Zhang Liao, who was still stationed near Hefei, directly dragged the only building ship in Shouchun to Yi Xiaotian for use. This shows how important Yi Xiaotian is in the hearts of this group of people.
.
The key is that this is the first time that Yi Xiaotian has received definite news in half a year. I heard that Mr. Hao, who was staying in Yecheng, originally planned to come to Xiangyang in person to greet Yi Xiaotian. If he hadn't been stopped by Cao Ang and others.
Okay, this busy guy has to let me shed some layers of skin.
"You are so old, why are you still as impulsive as a child?"
After Yi Xiaotian heard about this, he said with a helpless smile.
He was alone, blowing the river breeze, looking at the scenery along the way, wondering what he was thinking about.
This trip to Jiangdong is finally over.
Some of the original arrangements have basically been realized. Lin Lishan is likely to become Yi Xiaotian's base for development in Jiangdong in the future, and he has also established connections with the corresponding connections - for example, the four surnames in Wu County except Zhu.
Not to mention there are Yu Fan, Zhang Hong and others over there in Kuaiji.
It can be said that the entire Jiangdong was infiltrated by Yi Xiaotian in half a year.
The key line is not stable yet - even if Sun Quan and Zhou Yu react later and want to eliminate Yi Xiaotian's influence from the bottom up - with the combination of Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong and Lu Xun, Sun Quan wants to
Can't even move.
The losses on Liu Bei's side were not much, but because Liu Bei was having an endless fight with Liu Zhang, his life was actually not very easy.
The world seems to be not far away from true unification due to the many great changes in the past two years.
At least, this is the foreseeable future.
While thinking about this, Yi Xiaotian suddenly felt someone approaching from behind.
I thought it was Sun Shangxiang, but when I turned around, I found that it was not the case.
"Ah...it's Miss Xiao Qiao. It's so late, why don't you go and rest?"
"If you have any questions about the future, I plan to call you all together tomorrow to help you..."
Yi Xiaotian said with a smile, but Xiao Qiao just looked at him quietly.
"Uh...did I guess wrong?"
Yi Xiaotian scratched his head in embarrassment, and then heard Xiao Qiao say softly:
"I'm sorry, sir, I still can't believe you."
Upon hearing this, Yi Xiaotian was suddenly stunned, as if he didn't know how to respond.
He was not angry or sad, he just simply didn't know how to answer - indeed, saving Sun Shangxiang was a very prudent decision that Yi Xiaotian finally made after experiencing many bonds with Sun Shangxiang.
But after saving Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao and Qiao Guolao, they actually had a sense of arbitrary arrogance in them.
"I saved you, you can thank me -"
This feeling is still somewhat uncomfortable.
Even now, there is not much interaction between Yi Xiaotian and Da Qiao Xiao Qiao. The two people looked at Yi Xiaotian with a clear sense of distance.
Yi Xiaotian even promised to Mr. Hao... that he would dedicate Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao to him as a gift for building the Tongque Santai...
Saving Sun Shangxiang was sincere, but saving Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao always had a dirty meaning in it.
"However, sir, I must have expected that I would say this, right?"
"Yes... I can't help you. To be honest, girl, I have promised others that I will donate you to Cao Cao - you should know my identity..."
When saying this, Yi Xiaotian found it difficult to look directly at the woman in front of him.
He rarely does anything wrong, but this time, he was really confused.
He once said boldly that he would take the most beautiful women in the world into his arms, but the more he grew up, the more Yi Xiaotian understood that what is truly precious is mutual trust, whether it is love, friendship, or family affection.
The reason why Yi Xiaotian never responded to Ye Ye's request to become an official was because living in this troubled world, if he could not maintain even the last trace of his original intention, he could not even firmly believe in the values he had formed since he was a child.
But when he is integrated into this world, he is no different from ordinary people.
This is not because Yi Xiaotian is arrogant, but...
"Sir, do you feel lonely now?"
"ah?"
Lonely?
Yes, the word loneliness can easily describe Yi Xiaotian’s situation——
The more he survives in this troubled world, the more he discovers that he is incompatible with this world.
He can influence this world, he can change this world, but... he cannot completely change this world into a world that caters to him.
He is an outsider, a person who does not belong to this era, so no matter what he does, he wants to do his best to maintain his original self——
"may be…"
"The little lady actually thinks that your husband should be a very happy person."
"how do I say this?"
Xiao Qiao's eyelashes are very long. Under the moonlight, her eyes as clear as autumn water are blinking constantly, and her eyelashes are also gently curled. Just looking at it is like looking at a beautiful painting.
But Yi Xiaotian felt that he was seen through by these bright eyes.
His thoughts were very serious, but no one could understand his thoughts, but this time, his feelings, which were as weak as a piece of paper, were seen through.
"I have long heard Shang Xiang talk about your experiences along the way - and I can tell that your husband is a very principled and friendly person."
"You are not a person who treats women like us as a burden. On the contrary, you are a very wise person who can treat everyone equally and respect every individual."
"Miss Lingqi can trust you like that. Shang Xiang can entrust the future to you just after meeting you for the first time. I believe that you must have more people who are willing to believe in you and stay by your side."
"But...somehow, maybe because you have worries in your heart, maybe because you are worried that you can't bear it, you always deliberately keep a distance from everyone——"
"You are lonely, but you shouldn't be lonely - you actively rejected these thoughts, didn't you?"
Yi Xiaotian was stunned. Xiao Qiao in front of him looked at him with extremely serious eyes, and the words he said also aroused a thousand waves in Yi Xiaotian's heart.
"is that so…"
"So I can't believe you now."
Xiao Qiao repeated her first sentence again.
Only this time, she said it with a smile.
"Because you are making a decision that goes against your own heart, isn't it? If you have your own plans, please tell us. There is no need to hide it from us...especially my concubine and sister——"
"If sending us to Cao Cao is your decision after careful consideration, we will not complain - because for the land outside Jiangdong, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao are just two useless vases, and we know nothing about it.
So it’s better to follow the decision of the wisest person around you..."
"but if…"
Xiao Qiao took a step forward.
Her steps were so confident that Yi Xiaotian could smell the fragrance, because when he raised his eyes, the distance between them was only a finger's distance away.
"If you have your own true thoughts, please tell us without reservation. I believe they are all mutually reinforcing. After feeling your trust, it will not be too late for us to trust you sir."
us?
Yi Xiaotian had been forced to the tip of the bow by Xiao Qiao before he knew it. If he was not careful, he might fall.
He first stabilized his steps, raised his head, and looked over Xiao Qiao's head, only to see Da Qiao, Sun Shangxiang, and Lu Lingqi standing not far away, looking at him.
