Chapter 131
Ailang smiled and said to himself: Big Qiao and Xiao Qiao are really worthy of their reputation!
Then he said, "Old Wu, take me back. I've been redirecting for a long time and become more confused as I pass it over!" Old Wu was stunned and asked, "Prince Ai, please come with me!" Then he led Ailang out of the pond and walked towards the front of the left.
Xiao Qiao ran back to his boudoir and hid immediately. Thinking of the abominable guy standing close to the water just now, wouldn’t he have seen it all over? I suddenly felt a fever all over and my heart was pounding. Although I was very angry, there was an unspeakable feeling lingering in my heart.
"Miss Second Miss!" the maid ran in panting and shouted.
Xiao Qiao was surprised and shouted: "Go out! Go out quickly!!"
The maid hurriedly said, "Miss. Second, please take a shower and change your clothes quickly, so as not to catch a cold!" Xiao Qiao heard this, and immediately thought of the embarrassed scene just now and shouted, "I don't want to take a shower! Go out quickly!" The maid didn't dare to persuade him anymore, so she had to retreat, but she was still worried that the second lady would catch a cold, so she went down to prepare hot water.
...
Early the next morning, just as Ailang and Mr. Qiao were having breakfast and chatting, Dian Wei led a dusty officer in quickly. Dian Wei clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Chen Gong has a letter to him." Mr. Qiao couldn't help but feel moved when he heard Chen Gong's name, and thought to himself: 'Chen Gong is the top counselor under the lord's command. He actually had a letter to brother Ai, which was enough to show that brother Ai should be the first-class person under the lord's command!!' Thinking of this, Mr. Qiao couldn't help but be happy.
The officer who followed Dian Wei in immediately stepped forward and presented a cloth bag containing bamboo slips with both hands.
Ailang took the cloth bag, took out the bamboo slips, and shook his hand and spread them in his hand. Ailang looked at it and said with some worries: "Please finally come!" Then he handed the bamboo slips to Dian Wei and said to the officer: "You go back and tell the office, and I will arrive soon." The officer replied and hurriedly left.
Ailang said to Mr. Qiao: "Uncle Qiao, I originally wanted to stay for a few more days, but I didn't expect that the troubles came and I had to rush back immediately! Thank you for your hospitality! When will you have time to come to Xuzhou, I will treat you well and take you to have fun!"
Mr. Qiao hurriedly said, "I am so relieved that Brother Ai said this! I just don't know where to go to Xuzhou to find Brother Ai?"
Ailang stood up and smiled and said, "It's easy to find! You just come to the governor's mansion!" Mr. Qiao said secretly, "It's true that he is the lord's confidant general!" Thinking of this, he also stood up.
Ailang felt a little reluctant to think of the two beauties of Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, but there were still many things to deal with, so he had to put it aside for the time being and decided to flirt with these two sisters again if there was time. Ailang didn't believe that she was both on his territory and he couldn't take them down!
Ailang clasped his fists at Mr. Qiao and said, "Uncle Qiao, I'm leaving!"
Mr. Qiao hurriedly sent him to see him off and sent Ailang and his men out of the bamboo forest before returning to Qiaojia Villa. He was thinking about how to go to Xuzhou to find Ailang, and perhaps he could go to Xuzhou on the excuse of going to Xuzhou to do business. As soon as he thought of this, he made a decision.
Mr. Qiao couldn't help but think that Big Qiao and Xiao Qiao were already old enough to get married, especially Da Qiao. I don't know if Brother Ai got married? Alas, why didn't I ask about this matter? It seems that I can only wait until I see Brother Ai next time I see Brother Ai and then figure it out before I can match it together! Mr. Qiao doesn't care that Ai Lang has already gotten married, but I'm just worried that it's hard to convince Big Qiao and Xiao Qiao!
Don't think that Mr. Qiao had this idea to cling to the dragon and the phoenix. He just hoped that his daughter could have a good home. In his opinion, Lu Bu's confidant general is his daughter's ideal home, especially in such a chaotic world.
Ailang headed north and returned to Xuzhou.
As soon as he arrived in Xuzhou, he summoned Chen Gong and asked, "Public Terrace, what did Yuan Shao's envoy say?"
Chen Gong smiled and said, "What else can he say is nothing more than asking why we did not go west to Yanzhou but went south to Huainan."
Ailang was furious and cursed: "He thought he was, so he actually came to take care of me!"
Chen Gong said: "Yuan Shao thought we owe him, so he pointed at us. But I have already said that our army has restrained Cao Cao's energy during this period, allowing Yuan Shao to attack and destroy Gongsun Zan with peace of mind. He has long since owe them anything." Ai Lang praised: "Well said it! That's what's going on!"
Chen Gong said: "The other party's main purpose here is not to settle these old accounts. I think Yuan Shao wants to work with us to eliminate Cao Cao!"
Ailang touched his chin, looking a little moved.
Seeing Ai Lang like this, Chen Gong couldn't help but smile and asked, "Does the general want to attack his father-in-law?"
Ailang smiled and said, "That's nothing wrong! At worst, I will support him well in the future and let him spend the rest of his life comfortably!"
Chen Gong couldn't help but nodded and said, "No matter how good the general thinks this way, it's no matter how good it is. But now is not the time to attack Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao must have no good intentions."
"Why?"
"General, do you think Yuan Shao really wants to unite with us? He just wants to use the general. Using the general to restrain part of Cao Cao's power, they can destroy Cao Cao with all his might. After the matter is completed, Yuan Shao will definitely gain the greatest benefit. At that time, no one can defeat his strength. Even if we can occupy some land in the joint operation, it will be impossible to keep it. After Cao Cao is finished, it will be our turn."
Ailang thought of this and couldn't help but frown and murmured: "Fuck it, it seems like this is true!"
Chen Gong clasped his fists and said: "The principle of unity is not to unite the strong and destroy the weak, but to connect the weak and against the strong! Now at this time, we should unite closely with Cao Cao."
Ailang laughed and said, "I understand!" Then, "But Yuan Shao wants to use us now. If we don't take the opportunity to hit him, we will be so sorry for ourselves!" Chen Gong understood Ailang's meaning and couldn't help laughing.
Later that day, Xu You, who was the envoy of Yuan Shao, came to the hall of the governor's mansion. When he saw Ailang, he immediately smiled and held his fists to pay homage. "God General, don't be fine!"
Ailang laughed and said, "It's okay. I didn't expect it to be Mr. Xu You, who was in a bad mood."
Xu You said: "You don't have to be polite to the general. I am here next time to save the general at the order of my lord."
Ailang said in confusion: "I'm very good now! What does sir mean to say this?"
Xu You shook his head and sighed: "Don't the general know that he is in trouble?"
Ailang thought about it for a while, but didn't feel that he was in trouble. He asked angrily: "Where is the disaster I have in trouble?"
Xu You said seriously: "Cao Cao was ambitious and tried to fight against my lord, but his strength was far from enough to support his ambition. In order to win, he had only one way, that is, before the real war came, he would first find a way to annex Xuzhou and Huainan to increase his strength, which was to eliminate his worries. Cao Cao was very suspicious and would never be relieved that there was a force behind him that could threaten him at any time during the war, especially this force was a general who was particularly concerned by Cao Cao. So, although Cao Cao was fighting against our army now, he must be secretly preparing to deal with the general's conspiracy! If the general did not plan early, it would be too late to regret it if the disaster came!"
Ailang was stunned by him. He felt that if he hadn't discussed it with Chen Gong in advance, he would have been really scared by him at this moment.
Ailang had a mp in his stomach, but he smiled proudly and said, "Mr. Yuan understands Cao Cao's thoughts very well!"
Xu You took Ailang's expression in his eyes, thought he had successfully persuaded Ailang, and immediately said: "Cao Cao has always been deceitful and ruthless. If this thief is not eliminated, everyone will be at peace. Therefore, my lord hopes that the general can join forces with us to deal with Cao Cao. In fact, my lord is also promoting the general, so don't forget it!"
Ailang pretended to be hesitant and said, "What are the benefits if I join forces with Mr. Yuan to deal with Cao Cao?"
Xu You said to himself: 'I had expected you to ask this long ago?' Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel contempt, but I smiled without showing any smile on my face, and said: "Of course I won't treat the general unfairly! The lord said that if the general can help him to correct the situation, then he will give Yanzhou and Runan to the general! If the general has any other requests, he can also make it possible, but if it is done, it will definitely satisfy the general!"
Ailang pretended to be overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Mr. Yuan is so generous, so what else can I say! I listen to Mr. Yuan!"
When Xu You heard the other party's statement, he was secretly happy and said that Lu Bu had taken the bait, but his face looked as usual.
Ailang said: "I only have one requirement for Mr. Yuan, and I hope Mr. Yuan will support my military funds of 800,000 yuan in food and wages."
Xu You and Chen Gong were both shocked. Although Chen Gong knew that Ai Lang would take the opportunity to quarrel with each other, he didn't expect that he would speak up like this. At one time, there would be 800,000 yuan in food and salary! Oh my God! Xu You cursed in his heart, with a look of embarrassment on his face, and said, "The general's request should have been met, but the lord's treasury just now was not sufficient. Eight hundred thousand is too difficult. 200,000 is not a big problem. I can report to the lord for the general." Ai Lang asked for a price all over the place, and Xu You was called paying back the money, and he cut three-quarters of it in one go. However, Xu You did not dare to lower the price too much, so as not to anger Lu Bu and be ridiculed after returning from the mission.
Ailang frowned tightly, looking very unhappy. Xu You cursed inwardly and said with a smile: "Maybe I can also tell you about it for the general and support the general with 300,000 yuan in food and salary, which should be OK!"
