Han Xiang

Chapter 110 Who is stronger, Sun Ce, Xu Chu?
Long Xiang intercepted the Qiao family near Chengde (place name), more than 120 miles away from Hefei, and the urgent march would take at least two days.

Considering the hot weather and the fact that Qiao's family is dominated by female relatives, Long Xiang asked Xu Chu to drive at a regular speed, and ordered Cao Xing to let You Qi stay on the outside to keep vigilant.

Regarding the idea of ​​joining Longxiang, among the four members of the Qiao family, Qiao Wan and Qiao Ni are more active, while Chen Shi and Qiao Wei are more passive.

Compared with the tragic ending that can be seen in Wancheng, following Long Xiang has some more uncertainties.

It could be better, it could be worse.

Chen's heart was full of apprehension until the carriage was picked up by Long Xiang's army.

During the short time of the handover, Chen's palms holding the sword were full of sweat. She was worried that Zhang Xun and others would repent and attack from behind, and even more worried that their family would die in the rebellion.

Fortunately, all went well.

Just as she was on her way home, Chen suddenly clapped her hands, and suppressed what she wanted to say.

Qiao Wei looked concerned: "Mom, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing, nothing."

Chen recalled that she was only thinking about running for her life just now, and suddenly found that none of the attendants followed, the luggage cart was also forgotten in the north, and most importantly, their clothes and jewelry were not taken away.

I don't know how to live in Hefei. At this time, only Qiao Rui's saber is left.

After thinking about it, it is the greatest luck for people to get away, it doesn't matter whether they want their belongings or not, I just hope that Long Xiang will treat them kindly.

Qiao Wei was as careful as a hair, she stared at Chen Shi and asked: "Is there really no problem? Are you uncomfortable somewhere?"

"It's really nothing."

Mrs. Chen waved her hands lightly, and then changed the subject: "You let Ni'er get in the car, mother has something to explain."

"Oh"

Qiao Wei thought it was right, I knew you had something to do, and then she opened the curtains of the car, and let the bridge rider who was riding a donkey get into the carriage.

At this time, the scorching sun had climbed to a high position. According to Yuan Yin's usual practice on the road, he should find a place to rest and drink water, but the soldiers next to him were on the road under the sun, and there was no sign of fatigue on their faces.

In terms of spirit and spirit alone, the fighting power of the group outside should be far superior to that of the Huainan Army.

Are they really Longxiang's soldiers?Did I really underestimate him?
Qiao Ni entered the carriage, squeezed beside Qiao Wei and sat down, although beads of sweat hung on her face, she couldn't conceal the excitement in her heart.

"Running in the sun, you should be very hot and tired, right? Get in the car and sit for a while when you're tired."

Seeing Qiao Ni's appearance, Chen instinctively felt a little distressed.

The bridgeman understood Chen's meaning, smiled and comforted him: "The boy is riding a donkey, which is much better than those pawns. Besides, there is an occasional breeze outside, so I don't feel very tired."

"My son has grown up"

Chen nodded affirmatively, then handed the sword to the opposite side, and said solemnly: "Since you are old enough, you have also made a decision for the Qiao family, this sword will belong to you from now on, and the future of the Qiao family will also be entrusted to you. "

"Ah? The child is still young." Qiao Ni looked terrified.

Chen put the sword in the hand of the bridgeman, and said kindly: "13 years old is not young. I remember that Long Xiang left the government at 14 years old, joined the army at 15 years old, and now he should be 19 years old. He has grown into a towering tree."

"baby."

"You have to believe in yourself and try your best. If you don't understand, you can learn from Long Xiang. The Qiao family has nothing now, so they can only rely on you."

"Oh"

Facing Chen's expectations, Qiao Yi responded unconfidently, holding the sword that Qiao Rui left behind, feeling heavy on his shoulders.

Seeing the serious atmosphere in the car, Qiao Wan raised her toes and touched the bridgeman, intending to change the subject to relieve the pressure.

"Third brother, just now, before the formation of the two armies, I secretly looked outside. What happened to the corpses there? Did they fight just now?"

"Yeah, Long Xiang and the others are amazing, especially that Xu Chu."

Qiao Yi pointed to the outside of the car and became excited again. Thinking of the short battle just now, the blood in his heart was burning again.

"Xu Chu?"

Qiao Wan pinched the tip of her nose, as if saying that she had never heard of this person.

"It's the big man who walked in front and tied the bridle with Long Xiang, and beheaded Zhang Kai in just one move. I guess there is no one in the Huainan army who is his opponent."

Qiao Ni's exaggerated and proud expression seemed to have substituted himself into Xu Chu, blending in the prestige of easily beheading the general in front of the battle.

"Really? General Ji Ling can't beat him?" Qiao Wan frowned.

Chen suddenly spoke up and said: "I heard from the general that Zhang Kai is not weak in martial arts. He used to be the captain under Tao Qian's command, and later Yuan Shu sent him to assassinate King Chen. It is almost impossible to kill Zhang Kai."

"I forgot to mention just now that when Zhang Kai attacked suddenly, Xu Chu was still passive in the fight. He just made one move and then..."

Qiao Ni was gesticulating while talking, and when he got carried away, he almost touched Qiao Wei's forehead.

Qiao Wan rubbed her hands together with an expression of admiration.

"It turns out that there is such a powerful person, that Zhang Kai really wanted to kill himself."

"Zhang Kai's death was not unjust. Long Xiang shouted before the battle just now, saying that he was Li Tun's accomplice." Qiao Ni continued to add.

Qiao Wei, who had been silent all this time, suddenly interjected to express her opinion:

"I heard Li Tun call General Zhang that night. Since Zhang Kai came out for Li Tun, it means that Long Yunqi's analysis is correct, but it's a pity for Li Tun."

Qiao Ni said: "I asked Long Xiang just now, but Li Tun was guilty and didn't want to come, and he didn't force anyone."

After hearing this, Mrs. Chen closed her eyes and shook her head, muttering to herself: "Li Tun has been with the general for many years, who would have thought that he would betray him? Considering the relationship in the past, the Qiao family has no ties with this man, forget it."

"Who will remember him?"

Qiao Wan looked disdainful, and then snorted coldly: "If this fellow dares to play tricks, let Xu Chu cut him down. This Xu Chu was unknown before, where did Long Yunqi find it? No wonder he relies on such a few people , dare to save us"

"When I get to Hefei, I'll ask Long Xiang about it."

Qiao Ni smiled and nodded, thinking that when he arrived at the place, he might be able to ask Xu Chu to be a guard.

No matter how safe she felt, Chen's next sentence directly shattered Qiao Yi's illusions.

"Ni'er, we have to rely on others when we go to Hefei. Put away your Qiao family son's demeanor. From now on, you can't call Long Yunqi by his name directly. Otherwise, even if he is willing to treat you kindly, his soldiers will not agree."

"Oh"

When Qiao Ni nodded in response, Qiao Wan stuck out her tongue at him, as if to say that I reminded him before, why don't you have a long memory, kid?
In order to resolve the embarrassing situation, Qiao Wan changed the subject again:
"Third brother, do you still remember seeing off at the gate of the mansion? Long Yunqi's twenty soldiers are full of energy, but they seem to be worse than those outside now."

"Yeah, I just asked Luo Yicheng, they were all trained by Xu Chu, and all of them are masters of martial arts."

After hearing Qiao Ni's answer, Qiao Wan raised the curtain to observe again, and muttered in a low voice: "Xu Chu is strong in martial arts and can train soldiers. I don't know who is better, he or Sun Ce."

"I think it's Xu Chu, the second sister didn't see it just now, tsk tsk at that scene"

Qiao Ni had never met Sun Ce's fighting general, so he preconceived and identified Xu Chu.

Qiao Wan glanced back at Qiao Wei, and asked meaningfully: "Who does Eldest Sister think is stronger?"

"If you want me to say... Long Yunqi is stronger."
