Chapter 772 Jiangdong Fengyun sixteen

In the lobby of the Honglu Hall, Sun Quan held a banquet to welcome Cao Cao. The joy of the sheng was melodious and melodious. More than a dozen dancers danced in the lobby. After three drinks, Cao Cao pretended to be a little drunk and asked with a tentative smile: "I don't know if the Marquis of Wu met Liu Jing."

Sun Quan knew that Cao Cao would send someone to secretly monitor Liu Jing. He was asking questions knowingly. Sun Quan smiled and said without hiding it: "He went to visit his mother-in-law directly. I saw him outside Changgan Palace and sent him to the VIP hotel."

"Oh, it's really interesting. I didn't need the host to greet me and went straight to the hall. This is the first time I have seen such a guest."

Sun Quan did not know Cao Cao's intention and replied cautiously: "He is the son-in-law of Jiangdong, so he is naturally different from ordinary guests. Besides, he is just here to visit his mother's condition, so there is nothing wrong with going directly to Changgan Palace. After all, he is not my guest."

"It turns out that he is not a guest of Wu Hou this time."

Cao Cao suddenly realized his mind and smiled and said, "Since he has visited his mother-in-law, he should go back. I don't know what else he has in Jiangdong."

Only then did Sun Quan realize that Cao Cao went around a big circle, and his real intention was to wait for him here. Sun Quan pondered for a moment and shook his head, "I don't know what else he has to do. I just saw that he didn't mean to go back, so he arranged for him to stay in the VIP hotel."

"But I heard that Mr. Wu had already ordered people to clean up the VIP hotel, and seemed to know that he would not go back." Cao Cao continued to ask without any concessions.

"It's just a precaution. If my mother wants to keep him for a few days, wouldn't it be embarrassing if she is not prepared?"

Cao Cao looked at Sun Quan, obviously not believing what he said, trying to see through Sun Quan's thoughts. At this moment, Xu Chu hurried into the lobby and whispered in Cao Cao's ear. Cao Cao laughed and said to Sun Quan: "Liu Jing seems to be very popular in Jiangdong, but it has caused excitement in Jianye County. Tens of thousands of people came to support him, and even shouted that Long live the King of Han, did the people in Jiangdong actually recognize Liu Jing as Long live?"

Sun Quan's face turned red and white, and he was embarrassed and angry. For a while, he said hatefully: "He will always release the prisoners of war when he catches Jiangdong. Of course, the people of Jiangdong are grateful to him. If Prime Minister Cao is willing to release the prisoners of war in Jiangdong, the people of Jiangdong will also shout long live Prime Minister Cao."

He was ridiculing Cao Cao for not releasing Jiangdong prisoners of war and using Jiangdong prisoners of war to build a city for hard labor. Cao Cao smiled slightly, "If Wu Hou hopes that I will release Jiangdong prisoners of war, I can put them back, and there is no condition, how about it?"

Sun Quan was stunned. He was a little unbelievable, but he still bowed and thanked: "If the Prime Minister is willing to release them, it will be a blessing for Jiangdong."

"Very good. They are building a city in Hedong now. When I go back, I will come down to release them as my sincerity."

"I fully believe in the Prime Minister's sincerity."

The two of them looked at each other and laughed tacitly. Cao Cao drank a few more glasses of wine and became a little drunk. He asked with a smile: "I don't know if Old Qiao Guo is good now."

How smart Sun Quan is, he immediately heard Cao Cao's implicit voice. He was asking what Qiao Guo Lao, but asking the Qiao sisters. Sun Quan is very confident. The Qiao sisters are still unparalleled, and even Sun Quan is extremely moved. What's more, Cao Cao, he smiled and said, "I understand the Prime Minister's intentions very well. As long as we have a smooth talk tomorrow, I will definitely let the Prime Minister's wish come true, I promise."

Qiao Xuan was shocked, and quickly stood up and walked quickly to the outside of the mansion to meet him. Outside the gate, Sun Quan was looking up at the starry sky with his hands behind his back. He had just reached an agreement with Cao Cao at the banquet to exchange two Qiao for 100,000 stones of grain, which could solve his urgent needs.

But Sun Quan also knew that it was not that simple to give Erqiao to Cao Cao, especially Daqiao's identity would encounter strong resistance, but the key lies in Qiao Xuan. As long as Qiao Xuan agreed, it was their family matters that Erqiao would marry again and had nothing to do with outsiders.

In order to provide aid of 100,000 stones of grain, Sun Quan is bound to get it tonight.

At this time, Qiao Xuan hurried out from the gate, stepped forward and bowed and said, "See Marquis of Wu."

Sun Quan bowed slightly and apologized: "Please forgive me for coming here to disturb Mr. Qiao's rest so late."

"It's okay, I haven't rested yet, please come in."

Sun Quan smiled and quickly walked into Qiao's mansion. He followed Qiao Xuan to the study room. The two of them sat down. Although Qiao Xuan had a high status in Jiangdong and was once the father-in-law of Jiangdong, he had been replaced by the Xie family and the Bu family in recent years, and his status plummeted. Moreover, he did not hold an official position in Jiangdong, so he could only rely on his old capital to live, and his life gradually became embarrassing.

Sun Quan looked at the study and found that the furniture was very old and even the soft mat had patches. He sighed: "How can Mr. Qiao be so frugal? I will ask the people below to buy some new furniture for Mr. Qiao tomorrow."

Qiao Xuan hurriedly said, "I am just living alone. I am old and don't have to bother Mr. Wu anymore."
