"You're young. If you see that blood stained back, you may be frightened and unable to sleep. Why don't you wait a few more years and get familiar with things in the camp?" Mrs. Chen was eager to love her son and quickly advised Qiao Rui.

"As the saying goes, loving a son is like killing one. Since you were born in my Qiao family, you will have to get involved in military affairs sooner or later. What does it matter if you wait or not? Sun Ce shines brightly at the age of twenty, and fierce generals are fed with blood."

Qiao Rui glanced at Qiao Min, then pinched the bridge of his nose and shook his head. He turned around and used what Yuan Shu told him to deal with Chen.

"It is difficult to find talents like Sun Bofu in the whole of Yangzhou. Is it too high for the general to ask Miao'er for him? Besides, if you listen to me at that time..."

Mrs. Chen glanced at Qiao Wei while speaking, and was noticed by Qiao Rui beside her, so she hurriedly interrupted: "Madam, there is no need to go further, the matter has been settled. You all go to rest early, and Wei'er will follow you tomorrow morning."

I'm going to the military camp."

"Oh... let the child sleep first, and I will leave a cup." Mrs. Chen responded in a low voice.

"only..."

"My child, please leave..."

After hearing their parents' orders, the three siblings stood up, bowed and left at the same time.

After a few steps and walking around the corner of the corridor outside the house, Qiao Wan suddenly stopped and exclaimed.

Qiao Wei turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I've been embroidering that plum blossom recently, but I can't handle it well when I'm taking up the thread. I have to ask my mother for advice." Qiao Wan frowned.

"My mother is serving my father's meal. How can I have time to teach you zhi? We'd better go back and rest early. It's not too late to ask for advice tomorrow."

"Whenever I have something on my mind, I find it difficult to sleep at night. Doesn't it mean that eldest sister doesn't know about it? You go back first. I can wait outside the door for a while."

"It's rare for father to come home and he won't leave soon. How long do you have to wait?"

Seeing the two sisters arguing, Qiao Min was not interested at all, so he waved his hands and said goodbye: "Eldest sister, second sister, I have to get up early tomorrow, so I will go back to my room first."

Qiao Wan waved her hand gently, turned to Qiao Wei and said coquettishly: "Sister, please go back too, you know my..."

"Little stubborn donkey..." Qiao Wei raised her little hand, then turned and left.

Qiao Wan stuck out her tongue and walked back on her lotus steps. She had a more lively personality than Qiao Wei. She would act on her ideas promptly and inherited Qiao Rui's vigorous and resolute attitude.

The night was already dark, but the lights in the flower hall were still bright. After her children left, Mrs. Chen also sent away the servants inside and outside, deliberately creating a world for two people to talk.

Qiao Wan walked lightly to the door. She originally wanted to knock on the door and go in. She acted cute and coquettishly and asked for the answer, then immediately returned to the room to practice. However, she accidentally heard her parents talking about Qiao Wei, and she immediately huddled outside the window like a kitten.

"General, you can't be too preoccupied with military affairs. You also have to pay attention to Xiaowei's marriage. She's going to get her haircut in just a few months."

"According to Madam's requirements, suitable talents are really hard to find. If you are in a hurry to marry your daughter, you can only find someone with worse conditions..."

"That's not possible. Xiaowei was born with a beautiful and beautiful woman. How can an ordinary person match her? I can't let her make me suffer as a concubine. At least it can't be worse than ours."

"The more outstanding the young seedlings are, the more people will target them. If we can't grab the ones with high status, others will have already killed them all. Besides, I'm just a martial artist..."

"How is the warrior? Not a general whom the lord relies on?"

"Our family background is not top-notch. Madam wants to marry her daughter into a famous family, but also wants to be favored by other famous families. So what about Xiaowei and Xiaowan's beautiful country? Beauty cannot last forever. Besides, famous families have no shortage of women..."

"The general can ask the lord to be a matchmaker."

"Don't worry about it. If you want to marry a noble family, you can only become a concubine. Madam, can you wrong your daughter? If not, just find a family of warriors."

"General, can you bear to let the daughter of the Qiao family become a concubine? I blame the general for not listening to me at the beginning. If Xiaowei had been promised to Sun Bofu, there would be no worries today..."

Qiao Wan, who was eavesdropping outside the door, almost perked up his ears when he heard this.

She knew that Qiao Wei had admired heroes since she was a child. As Sun Ce's fame grew in the past two years, Qiao Wei also asked the guard Li Tun about it. Qiao Wan lamented that her mother had a good vision back then, but she didn't know why her father didn't agree.

"Madam, aren't you still thinking about Sun Ce? The reason why my husband doesn't agree to this marriage is because he has his own considerations..."

"What are the considerations?"

Qiao Rui paused for a moment to organize his speech: "Since Sun Jian, the Sun family has been conquering all directions with the lord. Sun Xiang, Sun Bi, Wu Jing, and Sun Ce, which one does not have military power? It can be said that half of the credit for the lord's current territory is due to him.

There is an old saying about what the Sun family established, 'high achievements shock the master'. If the Qiao family were to marry the Sun family, how could the master not be suspicious? I just want to avoid trouble for my descendants..."

"The world is still uncertain. If my lord wants to proclaim himself emperor on behalf of the Han Dynasty, it shouldn't be so early..." Mrs. Chen felt her heart beating when she heard this.

"Don't take any chances. If you make a wrong step, you will be doomed. What's more, Long Yunqi still has inferences..."

Chen's voice suddenly became louder: "Long Yunqi? Inference? What does it have to do with him?"

"Well... Yun Qi has previously analyzed and concluded that Sun Ce has troops and horses to expand his territory, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not have the desire to separate himself and become independent. Once the lord becomes emperor in the future, he may take advantage of this to rebel..."

Qiao Rui was so happy that Long Xiang's matter came to light, so he drank a few more drinks. He accidentally spoke in a hurry and spoke out what was in his heart. Qiao Wan outside the window became more and more excited as he listened, thinking that these things were more interesting than acupuncture.

Qiao Wan squatted under the window with her hands and knees, and Chen's surprised voice came from inside the room again.

"It's ridiculous, it's really ridiculous. Long Xiang has been in the army for less than a year. He is timid on the battlefield. His words are nonsense. How can the general listen to the words of a child? His father Sun Jian is loyal to the people. I think Sun Ce is a young hero, so he will not do it.

Will do rebellious things."

"My husband didn't believe it, but in the evening I ran into Wu Jing and went to report his victory. He said that Sun Ce had defeated Wang Lang and captured Kuaiji. Wu Jing came back to Shouchun to ask for a reward for Sun Ce."

"Sun Ce has won such a great battle, why not ask for some reward from your lord?" Chen's voice sounded disapproving.

"Kuiji is a rich land in the south of the Yangtze River. If Sun Ce wants to reward meritorious soldiers, can't he take it from Wang Lang's treasury? Does he need to go all the way to Shouchun to ask for the reward?"

"I am stupid..."

Qiao Rui snorted: "Sun Ce captured Kuaiji. He did not want to offer treasures as tribute, but asked for money and food from his lord. It is obvious that he had other plans. It is hard to say whether he will rebel or not, but it is hard to say whether he will obey orders in the future. Look at the troops now.

Which of the self-respecting princes listens to the emperor’s orders?”

Hearing Qiao Rui's metaphor, Chen also understood it clearly. She swallowed her saliva and asked: "Since the general's plan is obvious, the lord must also understand it? If the lord strikes first, Sun Bofu will be in danger..."

"My lord is overjoyed by the good news in Kuaiji, so he probably has no other considerations. However, the money and food will not be distributed for the time being, and my husband did not remind me due to other considerations."

"What's the consideration again?"

"I wanted to intercede with Yun Qi at that time. If I spoke ill of Sun Ce, I might offend my lord..."

"Unlucky things always happen without him." Mrs. Chen sighed and reminded: "I'd better avoid him from now on. Tomorrow I'll go to deliver medicine, but don't let him get involved. It's not okay to bring bad luck home."

"Ma'am, don't be biased. There are not many sixteen-year-old generals in the army who can compare with Shang Yunqi in courage. There are almost no people with his brains. If you train him well, he is just a seedling." Qiao Rui shook his head.

"I don't care about you, but you should keep your distance from him in the future. In addition, the general just mentioned the lieutenant general in the army, but he reminded me that there is always someone with a better background, right? Why not choose two to be your son-in-law? Xiaowei is about to get married.

, Xiao Wanke is just one year younger than her..."
