The first thousand three hundred and seventy-three chapters, the eve of entering Sichuan
Chapter 1,373 The eve of entering Sichuan
In fact, by this point, everyone’s identities are already obvious.
"Xiaoshan" is naturally Xu Chu, who has followed all the way from Yecheng, and the person Xu Chu is interceding for is Cai Zhaoji, who is also the real leader of everyone on this trip to Youjian Villa.
In addition...the little Ma brother Xu Chu talks about is naturally Ma Dai.
Years ago, Yi Xiaotian decided to send a group of people to Sichuan to open a trade route, and at the same time lay a good foundation for the construction of the next Youjian Villa.
So... Yi Xiaotian took the initiative to go to Jiangdong, where the situation was relatively chaotic at that time. He took Huang Yueying and others with him, while the rest was led by Cai Zhaoji. They would first come to Hanzhong, and with the help of Jiang Wan and others
Pave the way to Sichuan in advance, and then enter Sichuan for business at the right time and open up trade routes.
Now Yi Xiaotian is dealing with Liu Bei's affairs in Jiangdong, and Cai Zhaoji and others have arrived in Hanzhong for nearly a month. The reason why they waited until today to set off is because until a few days ago, from Youjian Villa in Xudu, Runan
Some of the transported supplies have just arrived in Hanzhong.
And this matter naturally came from Cheng Guo Jia’s help.
——
In the past month, Xu Chu asked Cai Zhaoji more than once to take him with him to Sichuan.
Although Yi Xiaotian explained to Xu Chu at that time, who in the world does not recognize the appearance of Xu Chu, the Marquis of Guannei?
The road ahead to Sichuan was uncertain. If Liu Zhang's men discovered Xu Chu's trace first, they would overreact and Cai Zhaoji and the others would get into unnecessary trouble.
So Yi Xiaotian asked Xu Chu to stay in Hanzhong and take care of Cai Zhaoji and the others at any time, which was considered as giving Xu Chu an errand to do.
But how can Xu Chu be really satisfied... Ever since he received Cao Cao's order and became Yi Xiaotian's confidant, except for beating up evildoers and stretching his muscles at certain times, the rest of the time he has been standing guard and doing things endlessly.
…stand guard.
He was bored to death.
What's more, he is really worried about the safety of Cai Zhaoji and others.
Liu Zhang's reputation is not good at all. Although he has closer ties with Hanzhong now... But this guy has both sides. As soon as he saw that Jiang Wan was trying to trick him into surrendering to Cao Cao, he immediately began to continue to entangle with Liu Bei in the east.
Even...even if he had a big fight with Liu Bei and others before.
But there are no permanent friends in this world, only eternal interests.
Ever since Xing Daorong helped him figure out Liu Bei's plot to stab him in the back, Liu Zhang was very reluctant to trust anyone else.
So facing such a sensitive guy, Xu Chu felt that it would be safe if he followed Cai Zhaoji and others.
——In fact, Xu Chu wanted to lead his troops to kill Liu Zhang directly, but it was obvious that he did not have this chance for the time being.
Seeing Jiang Wan return to the house, Xu Chu quickly begged for mercy.
Jiang Wan looked at the hill in front of him with a look of grievance and honesty, and smiled helplessly.
Who would have thought that Xu Chu, the tiger fool who was so powerful in Huairu and swept across Xiangyang Chang'an, turned out to be such a fool in private?
Jiang Wan had no choice but to bypass Xu Chu and came to the center of the courtyard. He saw a beautiful woman with a gentle appearance and elegant temperament standing in front of the carriage, instructing the servants to pack their bags.
And the lady also heard Xu Chu's shouting, turned around and said angrily:
"Xu Chu, what are you talking about?"
"Oh... all of you here are sisters-in-law and madams... It's okay, it's okay."
"Besides...sister, you can't hold back your smile. It seems you don't object to this kind of call!"
As expected, these words caused the other two women on the sidelines to giggle. Hearing their sweet chuckles, Jiang Wan discovered that there were two beauties with different temperaments in the courtyard.
.
"Xu Chu! You will talk too much! Don't blame my sister for not taking you there. If you accidentally let something slip, then we will be in danger!"
Zhen Luo stepped forward, patted Xu Chu's big arm, which was thicker than her waist, and said with a teasing smile.
"Oh... Luo'er... Luo'er, you are also a sister. Please help me beg for mercy. I really want to go to Yizhou with you... I promise... I promise not to cause trouble. As for... As for my figure..."
Xu Chu was really aggrieved and anxious now. He hurriedly looked at Diao Chan aside and said in a pleading tone:
"Sister Diaochan! You...you know how to use that kind of makeup to change a person's appearance. You...you also put that makeup on me!"
As soon as these words came out, Diao Chan was happy:
"Look what you said, applying makeup and powder is something only women do, and it's not to the point where you can change your appearance. With your body shape, no matter how much rouge you put on, it will be in vain. You are still
Listen to Sister Zhaoji, or...are you not afraid that your husband will pursue you in the future?"
Diao Chan mentioned Yi Xiaotian's name, and Xu Chu immediately withered.
He walked aside dejectedly and hid in a corner muttering something unknown.
Jiang Wan smiled and shook his head - he had seen such a scene countless times in this month. All he could say was... he had never thought in the past that there would be such a group of people in this troubled world.
A group of people who are not connected by blood, but can be so dear, so harmonious, and more like family than family.
"Gong Yan, I saw you were not in the house this morning. Could it be that you went to the street to inquire about my husband again?"
But just when Jiang Wan was about to go to comfort Xu Chu, Cai Zhaoji, who had her hands free, slowly walked to him, patted his shoulder gently and asked.
When asked this question, Jiang Wan nodded sheepishly:
"Hey...I...I promised to help you pack your luggage today, but I couldn't sit still when I woke up early in the morning, so I went out to the street again."
Hearing what Jiang Wan said, everyone looked at Jiang Wan one after another.
Even Xu Chu, who was a little depressed just now, immediately turned around and walked to him.
Yes... It seems that this scene is noisy, but in fact everyone knows very well that the person who is really out of shape these days is not them, but Jiang Wan.
Along with the supplies sent by Guo Jia, there was actually news about the Battle of Wancheng.
The news came less than half a month ago. At that time, Cao Ren had just set off from Xiangyang, while Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and others turned to capture Wancheng, switching from retreat to defense.
The situation seems to be great.
But the news that came from Guo Jia at that time contained some information about his next actions.
Here is the second thing Guo Jia did - investigate Cao Pi.
"Gong Yan... don't worry. No matter what you do, sir, you will be fully prepared. It's just that some troops are missing... it won't affect the final result."
"Yes, Gongyan, sir, he has always been here like this. We are actually not surprised at all."
Zhen Luo and Diao Chan came forward and rubbed Jiang Wan's head as if comforting a little brother.
Jiang Wan and Jiang Gongyan, who once single-handedly created the legend of the Battle of Hanzhong, known as the Great Zhuge, are being so concerned by everyone at the moment...Such a scene may only occur among the people of Youjian Villa.
