In the following two days, Liu Jing passed by in silence, and Sun Quan did not come to see him again, nor did he arrange any activities. With this leisure, he wandered around the beautiful scenery of Dongwu.

In the past two days, the weather gradually reached Bailu. It was mid-August, and Dongwu City began to become lively. However, there was no Mid-Autumn Festival in the late Han Dynasty, and there was only one August Festival.

Time is the first day after Bai Lu, and it is about mid-year every year. This day requires the whole family to reunite and sacrifice to the gods. The Mid-Autumn Festival may have originated from this.

However, there is another special day for Jiangdong people this year. August 14th is the birthday of the mother of Wu Hou. Wu Hou celebrated his mother's birthday for the first time and celebrated her birthday. Although all kinds of ceremonies are officially held, some necessary festive atmospheres are still created by ordinary people.

In the Dongwu City, pine branches and cypress branches are hung on the gates of almost every household, indicating that the pine and cypress are eternal. Many people also paste the red character "Fengfeng" to clean the streets and remove filth. These are all things that they need to do on August Day, but this year's August is particularly festive and enthusiastic.

In the west of Dongwu City, there is a tavern called Guanyun Tower, which covers an area of ​​about five acres. It is the top-rise of the tavern. It can accommodate five people to eat at the same time. It is the largest tavern in Dongwu City. It has many customers every day and business is booming.

Guanyun Building is also the Tao family's industry. Although the money it earns every year makes countless people jealous, the profits of the Tao family are really not worth mentioning in all industries.

At noon, Liu Jing walked to Guanyunlou Tavern with Xiaobao, Li Fu, Jiang Wan and more than a dozen subordinates. As soon as he arrived at the door of the tavern, the smiling shopkeeper immediately came out with a bartender.

"My son-in-law is here, and you have reserved the position for you. Please follow the villain in Louya room."

In the Tao family industry, whether in charge or in the business, they are called son-in-law when they meet Liu Jing, and other son-in-laws of the Tao family cannot get this honor. Therefore, when it comes to son-in-law in the Tao family, everyone knows that it refers to Liu Jing.

Liu Jing smiled, followed him upstairs, and walked into a room with elegant decoration. This is a suite, with two inside and outside. Liu Jing winked and asked the Bao to follow his personal soldiers first. There were only Liu Jing and the shopkeeper in the outer room. Liu Jing then asked the shopkeeper: "In the past few days, I have any information to tell me."

It turns out that this so-called Guanyun Tavern has become the intelligence base of Jiangxia Army in Jiangdong, which is reasonable. The Tao family has a large business in Jiangdong and Bashu, with countless industries, and has deep connections in the local area. It is most appropriate to use them to collect intelligence.

Moreover, Tao Lie took the initiative to propose this, and Liu Jing agreed. It was officially implemented two years ago. Only Tao Lie, Tao Sheng and Tao Li people knew about this matter. On the Jiangxia Army, Dong Yun, the military officer of the Record Office, was responsible for it.

The shopkeeper of Guanyun Tavern was named Xie. He was originally a garrison leader in the Jiangxia army. He had a kind face and was selected to take over as the shopkeeper of Guanyun Tower. In addition to him, there were eight bartenders who were his subordinates.

Xie wanted to kneel down to see him, Liu Jing winked at him, Xie Huiyi, but he did not kneel down and whispered: "Jiangdong has recently begun to prepare for war. Ten days ago, Wu Hou issued a conscription order and a ship collection order, and 40,000 soldiers were recruited. All shipbuilders gathered at the Dantu ship from the factory and collected dragon bones from the people. Jiangdong was talking about it, believing that Jiangdong was about to start a war, but everyone was saying that they would start a war with Jiangxia."

Liu Jing nodded. It is normal for ordinary people to think like this. Jiangdong has been peaceful for a long time and rarely thinks that Cao's army will come. However, Jiangdong people know that they are a feud with Jingzhou, and they know that the Battle of Chaisang before the New Year became the shame of Jiangdong people.

"Thank you for your hard work. If you have any latest news, please report to me at any time."

"You must do your best to be a humble position"

Liu Jing patted his shoulder and walked into the inner room. The inner room was quite large. More than a dozen personal soldiers squeezed to sit at a large table facing north, pouring wine and tea to each other. Li Fu and Jiang Wan sat on the other side, chatting in a low voice, while Xiao Bao stood in front of the window with his hands on his back, looking down at the bottom.

Seeing Liu Jing come in, Xiao Bao smiled and said, "Master, there are actually two teams of female cavalry outside, both of which are heroic and powerful. I have never seen them before."

The personal soldiers were shocked and stood up to draw their swords. Except for the small bag, everyone in the room knew what the female cavalry meant, but Liu Jing waved his hand and signaled them to sit down, "It's no big deal, don't panic."

Liu Jing walked forward slowly with his hands behind his back, and saw two teams of female cavalry on the opposite bank of the river in front of the door, each team had about twenty people wearing armor, holding bows and arrows and short spears, gathering from the east and west. In the middle of the team, a heroic young female general appeared, Sun Shangxiang.

As soon as she looked up, she happened to meet Liu Jing from the building. Liu Jing smiled at her. Don’t this little girl give up yet?

Sun Shangxiang glared at him fiercely, turned his horse's head and headed towards the west gate. The two teams of cavalry followed him, as if they were just here.

"Master, who is that woman? She seemed to be glaring at you just now." Xiao Bao next to him asked in a low voice.

"She is the sister of Wu Hou. Yesterday, she was in the Palace of Wu. I had a small misunderstanding with her."

When Liu Jing saw Sun Shangxiang leave the west gate, he sat down. At this time, more than a dozen bartenders came to deliver wine and food. Soon, all kinds of dishes were filled with the table. The personal soldiers were not polite and refused to chew the case. However, they were sensible and could not drink too much wine, and each person had only a glass of wine.

Li Fu and Jiang Wan also exchanged cups and drank and chatted on the other side. Liu Jing ate for a while. When he turned around, he saw that Xiaobao was still in front of the window. He asked with a smile: "Xiaobao, why don't you eat?"

"Look, she's back," Xiaobao shouted, pointing out the window.

Liu Jing approached the window and saw that Sun Shangxiang was indeed back on a horse, but she seemed to have changed into a dress, no longer dressed as a knight, and in a long skirt, the female cavalry behind her did not follow, she was the only one who came.

"Master, she must be here to find you." Xiao Bao said nervously.

Liu Jing smiled, "Whatever she does, sit down."

After a moment, footsteps came from outside, and Sun Shangxiang said to the two soldiers guarding the gate: "Please tell your husband, just say that the second wife of the Sun family asked for a meeting."

The voice also became softer and very polite. If she were normal, she would probably kick the door in. Liu Jing smiled and said, "Let her in."

The door opened, and Sun Shangxiang walked in slowly. Her graceful demeanor and lotus were lit up every step of the way. She looked beautiful. Although she did not use any makeup, she had a natural beauty.

Her longbow and sword were not around her, and she went from a headache-inducing female Rakshasa to a graceful lady. Even Liu Jing couldn't help but cheer secretly, such a beautiful woman.

"Mr. Jing, can I sit down?" Sun Shangxiang smiled slightly, and the gem-like luster flashed in her beautiful eyes, which made Xiaobao stunned.

"Please sit"

Liu Jing waved his hand and couldn't help but smile and said, "The girl's demeanor at this time is even more pleasing to the eye."

Sun Shangxiang smiled slightly and sat down opposite Liu Jing. She bowed to Li Fu and Jiang Wan again, and then said to Liu Jing: "I thought a lot last night. Brother said it well. You are indeed kind to me, so I will thank you very much today."

She took out a string of white jade Buddhist beads and put them on the table, and pushed them to Liu Min, "According to the customs of Jiangdong, we should not give them empty words to others. This string of white jade Buddhist beads was given to me ten years ago. It is one of my favorite items. I specially gave them to the public to express my gratitude."

Liu Jing took the Buddhist beads and said with a smile: "Enemy should be resolved rather than to be broken up. I am willing to reconcile with the girl, and the past grievances will be eliminated."

Sun Shangxiang smiled faintly, "Have you accepted this string of Buddhist beads?"

"Since it's a girl who thanks me, how can I not accept it?"

Seeing Liu Jing accepting the Buddhist beads, Sun Shangxiang turned his back and said coldly: "I thank you for your kindness, but the revenge is not settled. Liu Shou took me on the boat and broke my skin by the knife. I remember this hatred in my heart. There is still the incident last night, and I will settle the accounts with you one by one."

Liu Jing didn't expect her to turn against her and she felt a little unhappy, but she didn't show anger on her face and asked lightly: "Is that little thing last night considered a grudge?"

"It's a small matter to you, not to me," Sun Shangxiang bit her lip and said, "Do you know what it means to shoot down my sword?"

"If the girl is willing to tell me, I don't mind listening."

Sun Shangxiang's lips moved, but saw Liu Jing's face smiling, and his pink face turned cold, "I won't tell you, as long as you know a little, I, Sun Shangxiang, have a clear grudge, and I will never let anyone who has hurt me."

Liu Jing was too lazy to argue with her about what happened last night, so she just wanted to hold grudges, so he smiled, "Didn't I promise you to let you shoot arrows?"

"I'm asking you to fulfill your promise and follow me to the West City Outside School."

"Now"

Sun Shangxiang nodded affirmatively, "It's now."

Liu Jing laughed, "I remember you said in person that you fulfill your contract within a month, right?"

"Then when are you planning?" Sun Shangxiang looked at Liu Jing with a cold face.

"I don't know either. At least I'm not in the mood today. It's noon. Why not have a meal with me and I'll treat you, how about it?" Liu Jing asked without any anger.

"No need" Sun Shangxiang glared at him coldly, got up and left quickly.

Just hearing her footsteps go downstairs, Xiao Bao said worriedly: "This woman is so fierce. How could you get into trouble after you make enemies with her?"

"Haha, my enemies are everywhere, and I don't care about one more of her."

At this moment, the shopkeeper rushed in, handed a letter to Liu Jing, and whispered in his ear: "Jiang Xia just sent it, saying there is an emergency."
