Chapter Seventeen Returning to Jiangxia

After several months of long journey, Ji Shu and others finally returned to Jiangxia City.

In the green courtyard, Qingyu sat quietly under the tree, listening to Ji Shu tell this slightly shocking story.

"So, Qingshan followed your brother Zhao to join the army?"

Qingyu is a little annoyed. Qingshan is not only the bodyguard arranged by her father, but also her playmate, and he is like her big brother. Although she usually says that Qingshan is extremely powerful and must be a fierce general on the battlefield.

But when she heard that Qingshan had gone to join the army, she felt a little complicated.

It's like a father who is anxious for his daughter's marriage. Suddenly one day he hears his daughter say that she wants to marry so-and-so?

This is simply a bolt from the blue!

What is this man's character like? Is he sincere to his daughter? Does he have the material conditions to allow his daughter to live a good life? Or is his daughter willing to live a hard life with him? Countless troubles suddenly came to mind.

"You just let him go like that?" Qingyu glared at Ji Shu fiercely.

"This is Qingshan's own choice!" Ji Shu doesn't understand Qingyu's mood. To be honest, Qingyu, Qingshan, and Huang An are Ji Shu's few friends "here". On the battlefield, swords have no eyes.

, Qingshan went to join the army, how could Ji Shu not be worried?

But these are troubled times, and no place is guaranteed to be safe! Whether it is in the unknown mountain village or the powerful Situ Mansion, it is the same. Ji Shu understands this more deeply than anyone else.

Until the war ends, human life will be like duckweed in the pond.

"Everyone has the right to choose their own path."

"Sister, don't you always want to be a heroine who saves people in distress?"

Qingyu was stunned for a moment, then smiled dumbly.

Ji Shu comforted him again: "Besides, Brother Zilong is very capable. I'm afraid there are not even 10 people in the world who can compete with Brother Zilong. Don't worry, sister, Qingshan will learn from him, that's the best!"

"

In his opinion, only a loyal and courageous hero like Zhao Yun is worthy of his sister. In comparison, Lu Bu, who is the best in the world, simply has no idea! At this time, he naturally assisted Zhao Yun.

It's a pity that Qingyu doesn't care about this now. Although she has figured it out in her heart, she refuses to give in. She slaps Ji Shu on the back of the head and says angrily: "You're such a big man, how many months have you been out?

When I come back, I have become more capable and know how to talk back to my sister!"

"Hee hee" At this moment, a girl walked into the courtyard gracefully, and her silver bell-like laughter made the two of them turn their heads to look.

"Sister, don't be angry. Brother Zilong is indeed extraordinary in martial arts, and Ziyuan didn't fool you. Qingshan is following Brother Zilong, so you can rest assured!"

The girl was wearing a fairy skirt with wide sleeves, white boots, long hair reaching her waist, picturesque eyebrows, and skin as good as snow. Ji Shu was stunned and made the girl giggle.

"Sister, your new friend?" Ji Shu came to his senses and quickly turned to ask Qingyu awkwardly.

But Qingyu's eyes were wide open, she covered her mouth with her hands and whispered "Hey", looking extremely surprised.

The girl blinked her eyes playfully and said with a smile: "Ziyuan, what's going on? You don't recognize me?"

"Ah?" Ji Shu tilted his head, looking at the girl with an indescribable sense of familiarity, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her before. Looking at her, he blushed.

"Huh, I'm Huang An."

······

There are five major aristocratic families in Jingzhou, two of which are located in Jiangxia. One is the Huang family in the north of the city, and the head of the family is Huang Zu, who is the prefect of Jiangxia. The other is the Huang family in the south of the city, and the head of the family is Huang Chengyan.

The girl bowed slightly, lowered her head and said, "My little girl, Huang Yueying, I apologize to Sister Qingyu and Brother Ji."

"I don't mean to hide it from everyone. It's just that my family belongs to a wealthy family in Jingzhou, and Liu Jingzhou is my uncle. Now that there is war and chaos outside, it is inevitable that I have to hide my identity when I go out."

"Although I wanted to confess to you later, I didn't know how to say it, so I kept putting it off until now. Thinking that I can't always dress up as a man to see you in Jiangxia City, I decided to come back and confess to you this time, and also invited my sister and

Brother Ji, don't be angry."

Seeing Yueying's pitiful look, Qingyu happily took her little hand and sat down: "Let me just say, how can there be such a handsome young master in this world? I guess there is something fishy! But it's not easy to mess up.

That’s it. Sister Yueying is relieved, it’s not too late for my sister to be happy, how can she be angry with you?”

"Hehe, it's only the two idiots Qingshan and Ziyuan who don't have any sense at all," he whispered, squinting at Ji Shu as if he was victorious.

The male rabbit's feet are twitching, and the female rabbit's eyes are blurry; two rabbits are walking next to each other, how can they tell whether I am male or female?

The ancients never deceived me!

What feeling came to Ji Shu's mind at that moment?

Somewhat angry, some...

surprise!

After hearing Qingyu's words, Ji Shu came back to his senses, his old face turned red, he glared at Huang Yueying fiercely, turned around and murmured in a low voice: "Why didn't I find it? It turned out to be an airport!"

Unexpectedly, Yueying's ears were so good that she actually heard it. She glared over and said crisply: "Although I don't know what 'airport' means, I always feel that you are saying something rude!"

"How could it be possible? Brother Huang, you are thinking too much." Ji Shu felt guilty and looked around unconsciously.

"Ji Shu, I'm calling you to go to the lobby." At this time, a servant came in to deliver the message.

If Ji Shu was granted amnesty, he ran away, making Yueying roll her eyes and Qingyu couldn't stop laughing.

Han Mansion, lobby.

"Ji Shu, you're here." Han Song put down his tea cup and motioned for Ji Shu to sit down.

"Sir, I wonder why you called me here?" Ji Shu cupped his fists and saluted, sat down and asked.

Han Song said seriously: "Wang Yun originally told me in the letter that you were very talented and asked me to arrange an errand for you. But then you went out and the matter was delayed. I am going to let you do mine.

Staff, would you like to help me handle some government chores first?"

Ji Shu was surprised. He originally thought that he was not well-known and was born as a servant. Han Song arranged for him to join the county government and start as a junior official. He did not expect that he would be asked to be his staff.

The staff seemed to be a sinecure with no real power, but it was equivalent to Han Song's military advisor. He gave him advice and suggestions, and was connected to Han Song's official position and influence in Jingzhou. This was considered an exceptional cultivation. Ji Shu hurriedly

He cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, sir!"

Han Song nodded with satisfaction and said: "This time in the campaign against Sun Jian, Huang Taishou suffered a big loss and became Sun Ce's bargaining chip. He was a bit embarrassed. I will introduce Huang Taishou to you after a while. I will give you some advice on your career."

It's also good. You can go back and rest today."

"yes!"

Walking out of the lobby, Ji Shu couldn't help but sigh. He thought of Sun Jian, whom he had only met a few times, and sighed in his heart. Another hero had passed away in this troubled world. At this time, Ji Shu couldn't help but flash in his mind another person, a short-lived legend.

.

Talents emerge from generation to generation, and new generations replace old ones.

······

Let’s talk about the direction of Luoyang.

With the conflict between Yuan Shao and Sun Jian that night, the tacit understanding between the princes was finally torn apart, leaving only a naked competition for interests.

Cao Cao, Gongsun Zan, Liu Bei and others saw this in their eyes, and soon they all used some excuses to leave Luoyang early, withdraw from the alliance, and stay away from the place of right and wrong.

Regarding this, Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, was very dissatisfied.

The princes were also very dissatisfied. They spent a lot of money and food to fight against thieves in order to gain fame.

But now, Luoyang has been conquered, but the emperor is not here, so how can he be promoted to a higher position, be made a king or a marquis?

If there is any other benefit, I am afraid it is the wealth that Dong Zhuo left behind in his haste when he moved to Luoyang.

Luoyang City was the capital of the Han Dynasty, so how wealthy was it?

Since the emperor is gone and there is only an empty city left, why not let them plunder it?

As a result, farces were staged among the princes. Qiao Mao, the governor of Dongjun, even died at the hands of Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou.

The princes became disloyal and dispersed after plundering Luoyang's wealth.

Eighteen princes jointly attacked Dong Zhuo with great momentum, but ended in failure.

The situation changed so quickly and unbelievably that everyone in the world was dumbfounded, and an idea popped up in everyone's mind.
