Valkyrie Returns

Chapter 47

Jian'an 15th year, autumn.Cao Mengde, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, was furious because his confidant Guo Fengxiao disappeared in Maoling for no reason.In October of the same year, General Duwei Zhang Jai led [-] troops to break Fufeng and capture Ma Teng alive. In January of the following year, the emperor personally drafted an order to kill him at the east entrance of Luoyang city for treason, expose his corpse for three days, and exterminate the three tribes.Only the eldest son Ma Chao escaped by chance and joined Wen Hou Lu Bu, and his whereabouts have been unknown since then.

The autumn wind is getting cooler, and even the always warm Jiangnan is a little bit colder, and winter is approaching.

It has been more than half a year since Xiao Wu was ordered by the military division to search for news from Xiliang to the border of Jiangdong, and he did nothing but wandering in the market with Qin Jiu every day.I don't know where Qin Jiu got so much money, and he actually set up a modest garden in Jiangxia City to live in.

Xiaowu was young, and he was very clever and clever. After a few trips, the uncles and aunts on the market shops around his small house got to know him well, and from time to time they would send him some odds and ends sold in their own shops.Everyone pitied him that he was a foreigner, and he came from Xiliang to find his elder brother. He had no relatives or reasons.He paid special attention to him every day, but after a long time, he didn't find anything. On the contrary, because Qin Jiu came to pay them some small silver from time to time, the words gradually changed.

This day, Xiao Wu went out to wander in the street as usual, when Aunt Wang, who sells balm, suddenly and mysteriously pulled him to the corner of the street and handed him a small round box: "Xiao Wu, how old are you?" You're still young, if you want to do that dirty thing with your master, don't forget to give this to him to paint on you, don't let yourself suffer for nothing just because you are thin-skinned, it's not worth it. What's more, who in our Jiangdong I don’t know that the governor and the lord are together. Don’t worry, no one will laugh at you. Didn’t a new South Pavilion be opened on the boat by the water a few days ago? Listen to my husband, the business is very good Tight."

Although Aunt Wang babbled so much, Xiao Wu didn't understand a word, he still couldn't bear to return the box of ointment, so he lowered his eyes and asked in a low voice, "I wonder how much money Aunt Wang wants for this ointment? When Qin Jiu comes back, I'll ask him to bring it to you."

Aunt Wang immediately smiled when she heard this: "Then how can it be, Mr. Qin doesn't know how much money he secretly gave us on weekdays, this box of ointment was bought by my elder brother outside the customs, and he had several There is no need for a /tong/fang maid anyway, so I just asked for it, and it would be a good fortune to give it to you, Mr. Qin is a good person." After finishing speaking, Xiao Wu replied mysteriously. She went to the store by herself.

Xiao Wu grasped the balm in his hands and scratched his head, deciding to wait for Qin Jiu to come back at night before taking good care of him, and then hesitating whether to report to his military adviser that Qin Jiu went out early and disappeared every day.Just as he was thinking wildly, two people walked towards him in front of him.

The man on the left is dressed in white clothes that are more beautiful than snow. The fabric is made of fine silk, and the corners of the clothes are also delicately rolled with gold threads.Gu Pan's eyebrows are shining, he is extremely handsome, and his gestures are aggressive, obviously he is not an ordinary person.And the man standing closely to his right has most of his face covered by his hair. He is clearly wearing a very ordinary coarse linen clothes, but he is wearing a pair of purple and gold satin silk shoes. Their eyes immediately couldn't help exclaiming: "Guo Fengxiao!"

When Lu Bu went to Maoling City to reunite with Zhang Liao, Xiao Wu also followed among the group of hidden guards. He once glanced at Guo Jia from a distance. Flip is like a banished fairy, even just a glance from a distance left a deep impression on Xiao Wu. When we met on the streets of Jiangdong at this time, Xiao Wu blurted out his words absent-mindedly. Swivel and slide away from them.

Cao Zhang, who was still peeking at Guo Jia's side face, suddenly threw a throwing knife from his sleeve robe, and the timing and angle were exquisite.Xiao Wu's expression was solemn and his pupils were wide open. Seeing that the hidden weapon was inevitable, a sense of despair suddenly surged in his heart. He never expected that he would fail the expectations of the military adviser and Lord Hou in the end.

It was too late and then too fast, a silver needle flew out of nowhere and deflected the dagger thrown by Cao Zhang by a few points. The sound was quickly covered by the noisy human voice.Cao Zhang was about to chase, but worried about Guo Jia's safety, he couldn't help but slow down.This hesitation immediately exposed Cao Zhang's momentum, and Xiao Wu took the opportunity to disappear into the crowd.

Cao Zhang seemed a little annoyed, lowered his head and whispered to Guo Jia: "Feng Xiao, what should we do next?"

Guo Jia raised her eyebrows lightly, and her ruddy thin lips curved into a /joyful/yue/ arc: "It's okay, just treat it as nothing, just go to the painting boat to meet your brother when you're strolling in the street." Guo Jia said After that, he paused on purpose, leaned sideways on Cao Zhang's shoulder and bit his ear lightly: "Zhang'er, do you know what's in the box in that kid's hand just now?"

"Could it be some powerful hidden weapon?" When fighting with Xiao Wu just now, Cao Zhang also noticed that he was holding a small round box in his right hand, and now he heard Guo Jia deliberately bring it up, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous .

When Guo Jia heard Cao Zhang's words, he leaned on Cao Zhang's shoulders, shaking with laughter: "Zhang'er, you are getting cuter and cuter, who would use that kind of thing as a hidden weapon." Seeing Guo Jia laugh so hard , Cao Zhang thought about it again, and then replied awkwardly after a while: "That box seems to exude a faint fragrance. Could it be a high-end crisp cake?"

Guo Jia really couldn't bear Cao Zhang's slowness, so he simply whispered the name word by word into his ear.Suddenly, a suspicious red cloud flashed across Cao Zhang's masculine side face: "I didn't expect that child to be..." The street was full of people coming and going, so lively, Cao Zhang still didn't say the word "broken sleeve" after all, He took Guo Jia's hand and walked forward without looking back.

Xiao Wu ran back to the mansion in shock, only to see Qin Jiu standing on the porch, staring at the box in his hand with a smile on his face.However, Xiao Wu had already left the matter of the small box in his hand out of the blue: "Qin Jiu, did you save me just now?"

Qin Jiu's rough outline instantly softened, he nodded and smiled slightly: "Of course it's me."

Xiao Wu was furious: "Such a good opportunity, why didn't you kill Guo Jia first? Don't you know that he is a confidant who is always talked about by the military adviser?" Qin Jiu didn't answer, but just took two steps forward quickly. He hugged Xiao Wu tightly into his arms, and there was a trace of panic in his deep voice: "Don't scare me anymore." Xiao Wu looked puzzled, pushed him aside vigorously, and went into the room angrily I went to pass a note to my military division.

Unprepared, Qin Jiu was almost thrown to the ground by his push, but he was not annoyed, he just shook his head with a wry smile and followed him: "The person who made the attack is extremely skilled in martial arts, even if I didn't save you at that time, I wouldn't be sure Can kill Guo Jia."

Xiao Wu carefully stuffed the news into the bamboo tube, and after hearing Qin Jiu's soft words, his anger soon dissipated: "Qin Jiu, do you think I am very useless? Ever since the two of us came to Jiangdong, it's you every day Going out early and returning late to inquire about news, I can’t even cook a meal besides wandering around every time, and this time I directly exposed my identity..."

While talking, Xiao Wu's slightly immature side face slowly released sadness, and he threw the box in his hand on the ground at will, and rolled around the corner for several times before stopping at Qin Jiu's feet.Qin Jiu bent down to pick it up, and pulled Xiao Wu into his arms from behind, with a hoarse voice: "Xiao Wu, you don't need to worry about anything, just leave it to me. Little idiot, don't you understand? If you come here, you are not afraid of being discovered. Many people in the dark guards will count your martial arts as the worst. The military master should have been envious of Jiangdong for a long time, but he just sent us here to find out the terrain first. No matter how good Xiliang is The land of wind and sand."

As Qin Jiu said, he took out half a map from his pocket and stuffed it into Xiao Wu's hands: "You pass this map along to the military commander. As for Guo Jia's appearance here, let's not act rashly for the time being. The military division decides."

"Qin Jiu, why are you so nice to me?" Xiao Wu suddenly turned his face, his tone full of seriousness.

Qin Jiu stared intently at Xiao Wu's ordinary facial features, and answered very calmly: "Because I like you."

Xiao Wu was stunned: "Is it because Master Hou likes the military division so much?"

Qin Jiu grinned his white teeth, and there was a hint of bitterness on his stubble-covered cheeks: "Of course."

Xiao Wu folded the map carefully, and carefully drew the contact code on the bottom of the bamboo tube. Qin Jiu saw Xiao Wu kept silent with his face turned away, his heart was chilled, and he felt a sharp pain as if something was suddenly missing. Qin Jiu I couldn't help but clutch my chest tightly, as if something was about to fly out of the pain the next second.

"Then I like you too." Xiao Wu turned his head without any warning, and pressed his immature lips on Qin Jiu's rough face: "Since you like me, why don't you have such an intimate relationship with me?" What? It's really worrying for a big man to be coy all day long."

"I like you too." Hearing Xiao Wu's words, Qin Jiu was stunned. With a blank mind, he unconsciously tightened his arms a little more, almost strangling Xiao Wu out of breath.Xiao Wu had no choice but to move his lips and tongue away from Qin Jiu's face, frowning slightly with a puzzled look: "Master Hou doesn't seem to do it like this?"

Qin Jiu pressed down hard on Xiao Wu, his mellow male voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement and joy: "Xiao Wu, do you really like me too?"

Xiao Wu was taken aback when he heard the words, and nodded with certainty: "Of course, you are good at martial arts and can cook, and you buy me candy beans every day. If I don't like you, who should you like?"

Seeing the natural expression on Xiao Wu's face, Qin Jiu was instantly overwhelmed by the huge surprise. He emotionally pushed Xiao Wu down on the bamboo mat and gnawed and bit: "Xiao Wu, you are still too young, it will be very difficult to do things with me now." pain."

Xiao Wu looked at Qin Jiu in shock, and suddenly lowered his head and bit Qin Jiu hard on the shoulder: "Qin Jiu, you bastard! I have practiced martial arts since I was a child, and even if I am not as good as you now, could it be better than the wind? Is the military division who just fell still afraid of pain?"

Qin Jiu suddenly squeezed Xiao Wu's thin and strong waist in a vicious way, and then he lowered his head and laughed sullenly: "You already knew that I liked you, didn't you? That's why you bought this specially today?" As he said that, he opened the box that Xiao Wu brought back, and a fresh fragrance came out immediately. Xiao Wu had a feeling that something was wrong, and he looked at the box vigilantly with a vigilant face: "What is in this box? Why is Wang Was it mysterious when my aunt gave it to me?"

With an evil smile on his lips, Qin Jiu dug out a small piece of ointment from the box with a face full of intoxication: "This ointment is called Hundred Days Drunk, and it is very precious because of the complicated formula. There are rumors that this was once a secret medicine used by Qin Shihuang's court to cheer up."
