Looking forward to looking forward to it, the wedding day is here, and the wedding is approaching.

On the day of the wedding, there was a big banquet in Wuhou's mansion. Sun Ce's son Sun Shao served as the send-off boy and handed his aunt's red rope to Liu Qi.

Today, all the civil and military officials from Jiangdong have basically arrived. Liu Qi has met all of them, famous or not, and wants to get to know each other first, regardless of whether they will meet in the future.

At dusk, the guests dispersed one after another, and the maid took Liu Qi to the backyard. The yard was brightly lit, the magnolia trees were covered with red lanterns, and the cold light shone all around.

I saw maidservants lined up around the courtyard, armed with swords and guns. Sun Shangxiang was sitting at the door, dressed in a bright red military uniform, with a sword embroidered on his hijab, and bows and arrows on the table.

Liu Qi froze at the door and said in astonishment: "On the big day, it would be too unlucky to wield swords and guns and become murderous, right?"

Sun Shangxiang said: "The general said before that he has to compete with me in marksmanship. If he passes, he can take off the hijab."

Liu Qi laughed and said: "Miss, you are a well-known lady. How can I use force with you on your wedding day? Besides, my marksmanship cannot be shown in public, it only requires a small space."

"The place of size?" Sun Shangxiang tilted his head slightly, a little confused, "Could it be that the general's marksmanship has reached the level of proficiency and ease of expansion and contraction?"

"Miss, you'll know after you try it!" Liu Qi smiled and stepped forward, waving his hand and saying, "Everyone, please step aside."

"No!" These maids even salute like soldiers. They are all brave and heroic, and their movements are clean and neat.

The door of the courtyard was gently closed, and Liu Qi stepped forward and took off his hijab. Under the bright moonlight, Sun Shangxiang's face was as beautiful as Da Qiao's, especially the strong energy exuding from his body, which made people full of desire to conquer.

Being stared at by Liu Qi like this, Sun Shangxiang's heart was beating wildly. He lowered his head with a red face, and his voice became softer and softer: "General, you really don't mind my concubine being strong and strong. How about my daughter's attitude?"

"What do you call this?" Liu Qi put his arms around Xiang Xiang's shoulders and said with a chuckle: "Rose with thorns is more fragrant!"

Sun Shangxiang struggled slightly and leaned on Liu Qi's shoulder. He pulled her into the room and pushed her directly on the bedside. All etiquette such as nicknames and red candles were forgotten.

"Hey, close the door!" Sun Shangxiang became coy and felt embarrassed sitting on the edge of the bed. He lowered his head and pretended to be reserved: "General, you need to show your marksmanship first!"

Liu Qi closed the door, waved his sleeves with his backhand and extinguished the candle, then rushed towards the bedside: "My marksmanship is very good, I'm afraid you won't be able to withstand a few rounds."

The battlefield was filled with shouts and blood, but it was too brutal and bloody to describe in detail.

Early the next morning, while Liu Qi was drinking deer antler soup, his personal guard reported that Zhou Yu sent someone to deliver an invitation and went to his house to talk about it.

Liu Qi also wanted to stabilize Zhou Yu so that he could attack Huainan with peace of mind, so he accepted the invitation and headed to his house.

Zhou Yu said helplessly: "We are newlyweds. We shouldn't bother you, but Chai Sang urgently reported this morning that we have to discuss important matters with the general."

Liu Qi said: "You don't have to be like this, Commander-in-Chief. I wonder if there is any military situation to discuss?"

The two of them went to the study while talking and sat down to watch tea. Zhou Yu said: "After I left Chaisang, Poyang thieves were quite rampant. The day before yesterday, the fleet sent Taishi Ci to Jiangxia. When passing through Pengli territory, the sentry found that there were fishing boats following him.

It took a long time to return to Fankou. I guess it must be the Poyang water thieves who are inquiring about the military situation, which may be detrimental to the general, so be careful on the way back."

"Oh?" Liu Qi was a little surprised, "I heard that the Grand Governor went to Chaisang to train troops. All the clan thieves in Yuzhang and the mountains and rivers have been leveled. Where are the water thieves?"

Zhou Yu said: "The territory of Yuzhang has indeed been cleared, but only the Pengli water thieves are entrenched in the lake. They have many islands and their whereabouts are unpredictable, so they cannot be eradicated. The Peng brothers gathered the remnants from various places, and gradually became a phenomenon, with more than 20,000 people under their command.

, is actually a problem for Poyang.”

Liu Qi frowned and said, "I have no contact with the people of Poyang, let alone enmity. What do they want from me?"

Zhou Yu's eyes gleamed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "It's fine if the thief is robbing property, but if he pretends to be a soldier of Soochow and attacks the general, what will be the consequences?"

Liu Qi said: "The governor's intention is that someone is using the Pengli water thief to destroy the friendship between our two families?"

Zhou Yu sneered and said: "Although the Peng family of Peng Li started out as thieves, they have always regarded themselves as a noble family. Now I am forcing them to live in the lake to survive. If the thieves are promised an official title, they will be willing to use them."

"A bunch of idiots!" Liu Qi said with a smile: "If the governor had not taken the Lujiang River, they might have been able to stand up by connecting with Cao Cao's thieves, but now that they are far away from the river, they are still acting like this. They really don't know whether to live or die."

Zhou Yu said: "I am about to go to Huainan, and I am worried about the Peng Li bandits. This time I will use my plan to eliminate this problem with the help of the general. I hope the general will cooperate with me."

Liu Qi laughed and said: "You and I are all one family, so why should we be so polite? Only with the smooth navigation of the Yangtze River can we communicate and be friendly to each other."

Zhou Yu nodded slightly, solemnly clasped his fists and said: "Tai Shi Ci's life depends entirely on the general. Don't be selfish because you are your master. Zi Yi values ​​integrity most. If he survives, he will definitely keep it in his heart and will never do it again.

Launch troops with Jingzhou."

Liu Qi returned the courtesy and said: "Don't worry, Governor, I won't accept Wu Hou's money in vain. Besides, Mr. Hua has a noble heart. When seeing a doctor, he only asks for the root cause. Regardless of his origins, he will do his best to save people."

Zhou Yu laughed and said, "Thanks to the general for raising money that day, Marquis Wu was relieved of his worries. Today there are only you and me, so there is no need to talk like this."

If Liu Qi hadn't asked for money, Sun Quan would have been worried that Liu Qi would take the opportunity to win people's hearts and Taishi Ci would never come back. However, spending money to treat diseases was different, and the two did not owe each other.

Liu Qi didn't want to but shook his head and said: "The governor is overthinking. I have no other intentions. I really just want money."

"Uh..." Zhou Yu was mistaken this time and asked doubtfully: "Is the general really a greedy person?"

Liu Qi said with a smile: "Whether you are greedy for money or not is just a matter of other people's comments. I only care about pragmatism, regardless of false reputation. I pay for nothing but gain nothing, which is not what I want!"

Zhou Yu was puzzled: "I would like to hear the details."

Liu Qi said: "The governor also said that Taishi was kind and loyal. How could a mere kindness move his heart? Like the governor, he was loyal to Jiangdong and unswervingly determined. No matter how much I spent in Jingzhou, it was just a bamboo basket, so why bother?

To be attentive?"

Zhou Yu was startled when he heard this and murmured: "Loyal to Jiangdong, unswervingly..."

Liu Qi sighed with emotion: "Young men are righteous people and should not treat each other with vulgar etiquette. Cao Cao treated Guan Yunchang so kindly in Xuchang, and he also sealed it with seals and gold. Instead of wasting his efforts, it is better to ask for money in real terms."

"The friendship in Taoyuan is really enviable!" Zhou Yu sighed softly, his eyes dazed.

Liu Qi smiled and said: "Although the governor and the eldest brother are not sworn sworn brothers, they are brothers and sisters. It is enough to have a confidant in life!"

Zhou Yu smiled mischievously: "Liu Guan and Zhang were sworn brothers and worked together for a great cause. My brother was also harmed by villains. I feel the pain of Guan and Zhang, but Liu Bei's great revenge must be avenged. The general and I share the burden of entrusting the orphan, but we cannot avenge Bo Fu.

Are you so sad and ashamed?"

Liu Qi saw that Zhou Yu looked in pain and his thoughts were racing, but he calmed down and persuaded calmly: "I heard that the assassin was killed by the eldest brother on the spot. The commander-in-chief has no need to be sad if he takes revenge."
