After a while, Sun Ce poked his head out of the room and said, "Qilin, it's getting late, you should take a rest!"

Qilin responded, and finally his wish was fulfilled in the two rooms. The lights were turned off, the bright moon was in the sky, and the faint silver light spread all over the heaven and earth. The only sound left was the sound of Qilin's xun, and the ethereal and melodious song of "Moon Front" echoed between heaven and earth.

Less than a month after their wedding, Yuan Shu issued another edict to summon the Jiangdong Pioneer Army to fight in Xuzhou.

Finally, Sun Cechen received the news that Yuan Shu sent Ji Ling to Xuzhou to attack Liu Bei.

"Tell me what to do?" Sun Ce passed Yuan Shu's message around.

Qilin just woke up and yawned: "Didn't we already agree, why do you wake people up so early in the morning..."

Zhou Yu also just got up, and sat down with disheveled hair without pulling back his hair. He asked, "Is the messenger outside?"

Zhang Dao: "Yuan Shao doesn't keep his word. Sun Bi's incident shows that he is short-sighted. Bo Fu should focus on expanding his own strength and not send troops hastily."

Sun Ce's expression was solemn, obviously hesitant, and Zhang added: "Besides, your brothers have not been married for a long time. It is neither urgent nor necessary to fight. How can there be any reason to go out to conquer?"

Qilin gargled his tea and said, "Don't go, you all. I'll go, give me one thousand soldiers, and I'll pay you back four thousand soldiers when I come back."

Sun Ce was amused and laughed: "Why do you go out with one thousand and come back with four thousand? Please explain to me carefully."

When I woke up in the morning, all of them had not yet washed up. The maids followed Zhou Yu into the hall to put hairpins in Zhou Yu's hair. Mistress Da Qiao went to order breakfast. Xiao Qiao finished dressing up, rolled up her sleeves and left the front hall, took the wooden comb,

Said: "I'll do it."

Qilin said: "Your father's old army is still in the hands of Yuan Shu. Write a letter and I will take it with him and ask him to send his troops to me and march first. It is originally your family's fortune."

Sun Ce's eyes flashed with excitement and he said: "That's great! Can you bring back Cheng Pu and Huang Gai? I will write two letters and give one to Yuan Shu, saying that I have not been married for a long time and it is inconvenient to divorce.

Home. Give the other letter to General Huang..."

Zhou Yu nodded to Xiao Qiao to express his gratitude, and said: "I really thought so at the beginning. It would not arouse Yuan Shu's suspicion and could take over the old department. However, Qilin, what should you say when Ji Ling collects the military talisman?"

Qilin pondered for a moment and said: "I plan to do this. Lu Bu will not sit idly by when Ji Ling and Liu Bei are fighting. I think he will come forward to persuade peace."

While Xiao Qiao was combing Zhou Yu's long black hair, she said softly: "What if Marquis Wen doesn't persuade him to make peace?"

Qilin was slightly startled, not expecting Xiao Qiao to interrupt. After staying in front of Lu Bu's tent for a long time, it was quite new for Qilin for a woman to interrupt during his master's conversation.

But Sun Ce didn't care and said: "My brothers and sisters are right, everything can happen just in case."

Qilin was not upset and said, "Based on my understanding of him, he will definitely do it."

After Da Qiao finished taking care of the affairs of the house, he went straight into the main hall and sat next to Sun Ce. Sun Ce said, "You two should also talk about it."

Da Qiao thought for a while and said, "Qilin wants to lead troops?"

Qilin nodded and waited for their decision.

"What if Marquis Wen really persuades us to make peace?"

Qilin put the tea cup on the table and said casually: "It doesn't matter whether we negotiate peace or not. My goal is to contact Chen Gong and ask him to persuade Lu Bu to send troops to attack Yuan Shu's army when Ji Ling withdraws."

Several people looked moved, and Sun Ce asked: "Why?"

Qilin said: "When we pull out the camp, the front army will change to the rear. I will lead your father's old troops to the rear and return to Shouchun. At this time, Chen Gong will send troops to stop the attack."

Zhou Yu praised: "What a great idea! Marquis Wen feigned an attack, and we pretended to be defeated. We withdrew from Yuan Shu's army, and then arranged a false appearance of annihilation of the entire army. We should be able to withdraw safely."

Qilin nodded: "Then, take another road back to Danyang, and you will lie to the outside world that I died in the battle. This matter is over, I will no longer stay in Jiangdong, and I have to go back."

Sun Ce heard this unexpectedly and said loudly: "Qilin?! Why did I, Sun Bofu, neglect you?!"

Qilin said: "You treat me better than Lu Bu, I am very grateful." After saying that, he sighed: "Before I go back, let me do my best and I will repay you."

The hall was very quiet. After a long time, Zhou Yu said, "Have you thought about it all?"

Qilin smiled.

Xiao Qiao said softly: "Master Zhou, just let him go. We will bring back the soldiers and horses in time."

Da Qiao said: "Either Sun Lang goes, you have to have someone to take care of you. Qilin goes alone, and the sisters-in-law will not be able to relax."

Qilin nodded gratefully, and Sun Ce was in a complicated mood. He put down the teacup heavily, unable to make up his mind, and then said: "Thanks to you a year ago, my mother and Sun Quan were able to be taken out of Wu County. There is really no need to talk about repayment. You

If you miss your old friend, I will seal off Panchuan in a few days and send someone to escort you north."

Qilin smiled and said: "That's not what I meant. Even if we leave, we will still be friends. We can exchange letters if we need anything. I just want to help you."

Sun Ce's eyes were a little red, and Zhou Yu said, "Qilin and I are going, but you are not allowed to show your face in front of Yuan Shu."

Sun Ce nodded, skipped breakfast, and went back to his room, obviously still a little hard to accept what Qilin said.

That night Sun Ce wrote three letters, one of which was handed over to Yuan Shu. He said that his father had died early and his old troops were still in Shouchun. There were not many troops in Danyang, so he sent Qilin and Zhou Yu with a thousand troops, and he was willing to lead the way for General Ji Ling.

Army, please Yuan Shu to hand over Sun Jian's old troops to them.

Yuan Shu had never heard of Qilin Zhou Yu. He had not been married for a long time, and he was obsessed with beauty. So he asked his subordinates to send some soldiers to serve as the vanguard to die, so there was no reason why he would not allow it.

.

The worst that can happen is that when the troops are withdrawn, the number of people will be counted, Shouchun's army will be withdrawn, and Sun Ce's soldiers and horses will be eaten along with them.

The other letter was given to Huang Gai, Cheng Pu and other veteran generals, with full authority to be handled by Zhou Yu and Qilin. If the troops were ambushed when withdrawing, do not panic and just retreat according to Zhou Yu's instructions.

The third letter is a letter to Lu Bu.

The letter briefly explained Qilin's visit to Jiangdong and expressed his admiration for Marquis Wen. If General Fenwu had time to go to Jiangdong and hoped to visit Danyang, Sun Bofu would definitely show his loyalty to the landlord.

Sun Ce was playing in isolation in his room. The next day when Zhou Yu ordered the soldiers and horses to say goodbye, Sun Ce acted like a child and did not come out to see him off.

On the side of the Yangtze River, there is a ten-mile long pavilion with fragrant grass stretching to the sky. The surging river water seems to be covered with a hazy veil. The spring rain is like silk, intertwining in the sky, like a fine and gentle net, gently covering it.

Big and small Qiao brought Sun Quan and came to see him off in raincoats: "Sun Lang didn't sleep all night last night. He caught the cold and was lying on the couch without waking up."

Qilin said: "Take care of yourself in the cold spring."

Xiao Qiao said: "Zhou Lang has to be careful when sending troops."

Zhou Yu agreed absentmindedly.

Qilin handed over a letter and said: "Leave this letter to Bo Fu and ask my sister-in-law to keep it for him first. When he wants to kill the first person, he can open it."

In the letter, Qilin knew that Sun Ce's life-long destiny included killing Xu Gong and beheading Yu Ji. Sun Ce hanged Xu Gong. A few years later, Xu Gong's disciples came to take revenge and were shot in the face with an arrow. Soon after, Xu Gong was killed.

Qilin wrote in detail in the letter, hoping that Sun Ce could escape this disaster.

However, if Sun Ce had not died early, Jiangdong would have been very different. Even the Battle of Chibi would have been affected by the butterfly effect. Qilin really couldn't tell whether this was a disaster or a blessing, so he had to leave it to fate.

The group left Danyang in the mist and rain and headed towards Shouchun.

Three days later, Ji Ling sent out troops. As expected, Yuan Shu sent a total of 2,110 troops from Sun Jian's old army to Zhou Yu. Ji Ling's 100,000 troops set off, and Zhou Yu took the lead in marching through the stars and nights towards Xuzhou.
