Ailang smiled and muttered, "I'll spare you today. Sooner or later, let you know how powerful I am." Then he folded his handkerchief and put it in his arms.

His eyes temporarily turned to Lujiang.

On this day, a young man with a handsome and elegant appearance like a woman came to Lujiang City with a few followers. When the pedestrians on the street saw this person, they couldn't help but show a stunning look, marveling at how could there be such a beautiful man in the world?! When women saw him, they couldn't help but feel flirting, and the men couldn't resist the indulgence when they saw him and had fantasies. Everyone thought he was just a young man who went out for fun.

The master and servant walked on the street for a while, entered a tavern, ordered some side dishes and wine, and sat down to eat and drink.

A servant whispered: "Young Master, we have come all the way. Although we have seen some levels, the overall defense seems to be very relaxed!"

The beautiful man shook his head and said, "What you see is only a surface phenomenon. In fact, the area along the river is loose on the outside and tight on the inside! Don't look at the checkpoints, but have you noticed that there is no problem. From the riverside to the city of Lujiang, there are beacon towers on the wilderness mountains! Once there is something wrong with the river, these beacon towers can send warnings to Shouchun within half an hour. Lu Bu's army can take action immediately! It is impossible for our army to gain an advantage by surprise! Moreover, according to the situation we saw in the tour these days, there is no problem with the information sent back in detail. Lu Bu's army does have about 100,000 troops arranged in the Huainan area, especially the key points near the river!"

A strong servant couldn't help but say, "We are not afraid of having a hundred thousand troops!"

The beautiful young man smiled and said, "What are you afraid of even a million troops?" When he said this, his handsome face showed a bit of heroism. He restrained his smile and said seriously: "However, fighting for the world is not a fight! If it is not good for us, how can we launch an attack rashly! If we attack Huainan at this time, we will inevitably fall into a long-term battle with Lu Bu. If someone takes this opportunity to attack us, it would be fine, but it would be a waste of development and growth.

Great opportunity! This matter has a profound impact! You must be careful! Ziming, as a general, you must remember that the way to war lies in whether you can get the greatest benefits, and it is not fighting with others!" The strong servant looked ashamed and bowed to his promise. The beautiful young master called him Ziming. Ziming was the name Lu Meng. It turned out that this powerful and mighty man was Jiangdong's general Lu Meng, and the young master who was more beautiful than many women was Jiangdong's military advisor Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin.

Zhou Yu had already disguised himself as a business traveler and entered Huainan more than half a month ago. Then he took Lu Meng and others to travel around Huainan, but he wanted to use this as a cover to check the arrangement of Lu Bu's army in Huainan. Zhou Yu had not decided how to go next, so he wanted to take a look at the situation in Huainan before making a decision. If the Huainan garrison was lax, or if the Huainan people were not convinced by Lu Bu's rule, he planned to persuade his lord to do his best to attack Huainan after the spring, and then to attack Jingzhou; if the Huainan people were willing to return and Lu Bu was on high alert, then he had other plans.

In the past half a month, what Zhou Yu saw and heard in Huainan completely changed his original view of Lu Bu. He originally thought that Lu Bu was just Dong Zhuo's lackey, a man who was unstrategic and profit-free! However, after watching in the past half month, he saw that Lu Bu's military discipline was strict and uncompromising the people, and his training was extremely hard; he saw that the land of Huainan, which was originally declining due to drought, quickly recovered its vitality, and the newly reclaimed farmland continued to emerge, and the speed was shocking. Almost all the people in Huainan were full of gratitude for Lu Bu. Seeing this, Zhou Yu understood that Lu Bu was not the kind of man he thought before, but a very terrible opponent. If he was just a common man, he would be defeated extremely ugly!

Lu Meng asked, "Young Master, where are we going next?"

Zhou Yu thought, "We have seen everything we should see. There is no need to waste time. After eating, we will return the same way."

Later that day, Zhou Yu and his group rode their horses and drove their carriages away from Lujiang and headed southwest. When it was dark, they came outside Wan County. It was too late, so they could not enter the city, nor could they rush to the night to avoid attracting attention. Therefore, the group planned to find a place to live in local villages and towns, deal with it for one night, and then go tomorrow.

The group saw a large bamboo forest in front of them from afar and lights shining. With the light of stars and moon and the twinkling lights, they could vaguely see a large villa behind the bamboo forest. Zhou Yu smiled and said, "It must be the manor of a wealthy family, so we will stay there!" Then everyone walked into the bamboo forest along the mountain path, and more than half an hour later, they arrived in front of a large manor.

Seeing this, friends should have guessed it. Yes, this manor is the villa outside the Qiao family’s town in Wan County. Zhou Yu is finally going to meet Xiao Qiao. Is this God’s arrangement?

Lu Meng stepped forward and knocked on the door. After a while, the old Wu opened the door and poked his head out. Seeing a few people standing at the door, dressed in gorgeous clothes and looked extraordinary. He thought that the young master from a family missed Sutou when he was traveling outside, so he came to the door of the manor. He couldn't help but feel relieved. He walked out and bowed to Zhou Yu and said, "Young Master, what's wrong with you?"

Zhou Yu smiled and clasped his fists and said, "Brother-in-law, we were out for fun, and we missed the stay. Seeing that the lights were on, we took the liberty to come and stay. I wonder if the owner is convenient?"

Old Wu smiled and said, "My master is very hospitable, I believe he will accept you. I will report to you later." Zhou Yu clasped his fists and said, "I'm working hard."

Old Wu quickly returned to the entrance, closed the door, and ran to the hall to report: "Master, a noble man and a few followers came outside, and missed the waiting place and wanted to stay in the lobby." At this time, Old Master Qiao was sitting in the hall drinking tea. When he heard this, he immediately put down the tea bowl, got up and walked outside. Old Wu quickly followed.

The master and servant came to the gate. Old Wu opened the gate again and the responsible old man Qiao walked out. At this time, Zhou Yu had already dismounted. Seeing the master come out, he stepped forward and clasped his fists and said, "I pay homage to the master!" At this time, Zhou Yu was only one step away from the two in front of the two, and there were two lanterns hanging at the gate. The two saw Zhou Yu's face clearly with the brilliance of the lanterns, and couldn't help but be surprised and said intimately: There is such a beautiful man in the world?!

Mr. Qiao came to his senses and said with a smile: "Young Master comes to stay in the room. We are destined to be together. Mr. and you all, come in with me." Zhou Yu thanked him and led Lu Meng and others to follow Mr. Qiao and Old Wu into the gate. Old Wu quickly closed the door, inserted the latch, and supported Mr. Qiao.

Mr. Qiao led everyone to the hall, ordered the maid to bring tea, and told Lao Wu to order wine and food to prepare the guest room.

Zhou Yu was very grateful to see Mr. Qiao so enthusiastic.

Mr. Qiao asked curiously: "I think the young master is very handsome and looks very human. I don't know what to call him? Where is he from?"

Zhou Yu clasped his fists and said, "I am the next surname Zhou, and I am from Shouchun."

Mr. Qiao suddenly realized, "It turned out to be Mr. Zhou."

"Dad! You see that..." A girl's voice suddenly came. Zhou Yu couldn't help but look up and saw a beautiful and elegant woman coming in from the side door quickly. She couldn't help but be stunned. Xiao Qiao ran into the hall and found that there was a guest there. She was at a loss for a moment.

Mr. Qiao pretended to be angry and said, "I really don't understand the rules! I ran out so recklessly!" Then he pointed at Zhou Yu and said, "This young master Zhou is from Shouchun. You can come and have a greeting!" Although there were not so many perverted rules after the Song Dynasty in the Han Dynasty, female relatives generally would not come out to see guests unless they value each other particularly. However, Xiao Qiao had already run out and had to go back without seeing a greeting, which would make him look down on the other party.

Xiao Qiao walked forward generously and bowed to Zhou Yu Yingying: "Xiao Qiao has seen Mr. Zhou!" Zhou Yu looked at Xiao Qiao, and was stunned, and forgot to return the gift. Seeing that Zhou Yu was out of control, Lu Meng quickly shouted in a low voice: "Young Master!" Zhou Yu came to his senses and realized that he had just lost control. He quickly stood up and bowed: "Xiao Sheng has seen a lady!"

Xiao Qiao looked at Zhou Yu and couldn't help but smile and said, "Young Master Zhou is so beautiful!" Zhou Yu was stunned, and then smiled and said, "Thank you for your praise, Miss!"

Xiao Qiao said to his father, "Dad, you have a guest, I won't disturb you." Old Master Qiao nodded. Xiao Qiao bowed to Zhou Yu again, looked at Zhou Yu and burst into laughter, and quickly walked through the side door. The beauty had left, but Zhou Yu still couldn't help but look at the side door.

Seeing this, Mr. Qiao didn't care and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, please use tea."

Zhou Yu came to his senses, withdrew his gaze, sat down, picked up the teacup and drank it, as if he was thinking.

Xiao Qiao ran excitedly to her sister Da Qiao's embroidery building and said as if offering treasures: "Sister, sister, do you know? A guest came to our house today, and he is so beautiful!"

When Da Qiao heard this, he asked with a smile: "Is it a woman?"

Xiao Qiao shook her head and said, "It wouldn't be surprising if it were a woman! He is a man, but he is so beautiful that he is almost catching up with his sister!"

When Da Qiao heard that it was a man, he was not interested and said angrily: "What do you care about a man?" Xiao Qiao suddenly saw a pair of white brocades that Da Qiao puts next to him, and seemed to have words written on it. He couldn't help but ask curiously: "Sister, what is written on the white brocade?"

Da Qiao was shocked, quickly put Bai Jin away and said, "Nothing."

Xiao Qiao was not willing to believe it, and pestered Da Qiao and said, "Sister, let me take a look! Is there any secret between us sisters?" Da Qiao was so entangled that she had no choice but to take Bai Jin out and give it to Xiao Qiao.

Xiao Qiao unfolded and saw a poem written in beautiful small seal script on it, "The bright moonlight in front of the bed is suspected to be frost on the ground. I look up at the bright moon and think of my hometown. Oh, this is a good poem! Sister, did you do it?" Da Qiao turned beautiful and didn't say anything.

When Xiao Qiao saw two long poems below, she couldn't help but read them, "There is a beautiful woman in this age! Huh? This shouldn't be from a woman's work!" She immediately moved her heart and looked at Da Qiao and smiled, "Sister, it turns out that you already have a lover! This must be the love poem he wrote to you!" Da Qiao was so embarrassed that she wanted to grab Bai Jin, but Xiao Qiao refused to give it to him, and the two sisters made a fuss.
