Zhao Yi took Lu Lingqi and Ma Liu and others and immediately set off to the northeast and arrived at the Yangtze River ferry closest to Gong'an County, where there was a ferry prepared for him by Liu Bei in advance.
"My father-in-law is surprised. Why didn't I tell him such an important thing when I met him just now? But I had to ask someone to pass on the message. Did he only receive the news after I left?"
Zhao Yi was a little confused. Thinking of Liu Bei's look when he asked him what else he wanted, he always felt that something was not right.
He could feel that Liu Bei was testing him with those words, but what exactly was he testing? Test whether he covets the beauty of his concubine? Or to test whether he has the idea of replacing the Liu family?
In short, Zhao Yi felt it, and temporarily changed his mind, and sailed with caution. In the coming troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, no one is easy to get along with, so there is no harm in keeping a thought in his heart.
The group moved forward at full speed and soon saw the ferry on the river. Zhao Yi ordered everyone to dismount and began to herd the horses to one boat, while the people boarded another boat.
The captain on the ship had already prepared food and fresh water along the way, and even food and grass for the horses. This didn't look like a temporary move, it was obviously ready and waiting for him to come.
However, when the two ferries had left the shore and Zhao Yi was about to take a rest in the cabin, he was dumbfounded.
When he opened the hatch, he saw Sun Shangxiang, dressed in red, sitting inside with a child in his arms. The latter looked at him with puzzled, questioning, and confused eyes.
"Why are you here?"
The two asked this sentence at the same time.
Sun Shangxiang frowned and said, "The emperor said he wanted me to hold the child and swim together in the river. Where are the others?"
"What? You Jiang? Still holding a child? Is this Adou?"
An ominous premonition arose in Zhao Yi's heart, and he hurriedly said: "This boat is not for swimming on the river at all. My father-in-law prepared it for me to go to Jiangdong to pay tribute to Zhou Yu."
"What did you say? Gongjin is dead?"
"Yes, he died. He died of illness. This is not right. Ah Xiang, what did my father-in-law tell you? Don't repeat it to me without missing a word."
Although Sun Shangxiang was still angry with Zhao Yi, he also noticed that there were many doubts about this matter. It was so weird, so he stopped hiding it and told her what Liu Bei told her and how he asked her to hold the child on the boat and wait. Five Ten spoke out.
"What on earth does my father-in-law want to do? He deceived you onto the ship, asked me to take him to Jiangdong, and asked you to hold Adou. This looks like a trap... for me. Is it a game? But if he wants to kill me, it doesn’t need to be so complicated. What exactly does he want to do? "
Zhao Yi rushed out of the cabin and stood on the deck. Ma Liu, Lu Lingqi and others saw that he looked wrong, so they all gathered around him.
"Hold your weapons and be alert at all times. Something is wrong."
Ma Liu and the others looked at each other, wondering why Zhao Yi said this. This was in their territory, and it was the ship prepared by the Lord. Could it still be dangerous?
Seeing their doubts, Zhao Yi took a deep breath and said: "I won't make things difficult for you. If the lord wants me, Zhao Yi, to die, I will never let him go without mercy. If you choose to stand on the opposite side of me, I won't blame you either. But when the time comes, brothers will definitely not be able to do it, and who will live and who will die will depend on their own abilities."
Zhao Yi's words frightened everyone, and they all asked what happened. Only Lu Lingqi remained silent and stood firmly behind Zhao Yi holding the hilt of the sword.
Ma Liu and the others exchanged glances with each other, gritted their teeth and said: "Boss, without you, we wouldn't be where we are today. You taught us all our skills. Although I feel a little sorry to say this, my lord, you have something special for us, boss." Meaning, we will go wherever the boss goes!"
"Brothers!"
Zhao Yi looked at the brothers around him gratefully, patted them on the shoulders one by one, and said in a cold voice: "Okay, everyone, everyone is in defensive formation and follow my orders!"
"yes!"
"Kakakaka~"
Ma Liu and others formed a circle with rifles in hand, completely covering the entrance to the cabin. Zhao Yi stood in it, while Lu Lingqi stood behind him, ready to defend and counterattack at any time.
The two ferries were moving forward at a constant speed on the river. Zhao Yi and others did not dare to relax at all. It was not until the boat reached a narrow section of the river that they heard the sound of horse hooves on the shore, the flag of the commander fluttering, and a huge "Zhang Zhang". "The handsome flag stands in front of the head.
Zhao Yi narrowed his eyes and said, "Third Master, why did my old father-in-law specifically ask you to see Hong Fei off?"
The person who came was none other than Zhang Fei. He was dressed in armor as if he was going to the battlefield. He was carrying a snake spear that was eight feet long and his eyes were wide open. He shouted at the river: "Hongfei~~This matter has nothing to do with you. Call my sister-in-law to come out~ ~~My eldest brother treats her well, but she stole Adou and fled back to Jiangdong~~~You can leave as soon as you want, why are you hugging my nephew? Do you want to cut off my eldest brother's incest?"
Zhao Yi hummed, feeling that something was wrong. Zhang Fei's tone was directed at Sun Shangxiang, but the latter clearly had Liu Bei's instructions to hold the child and sit on the boat. Otherwise, how could Adou be taken away by her?
"Third Master~~~ Is there any misunderstanding here?"
Zhang Fei shouted: "There is a misunderstanding about the bird egg! It was my eldest brother who sent me to intercept your boat and take my nephew back! Hongfei~~ don't worry about this matter and drive the boat to the shore, otherwise Don’t blame me, Lao Zhang, for turning your back on me!”
Zhang Fei waved his hand as he spoke, and the soldiers around him placed their arrows on their bowstrings, preparing to attack.
However, Ma Liu and others did not need Zhao Yi's orders. Their formation remained unchanged, but the muzzles of their guns all changed their direction, clicking, clicking, aiming at Zhang Fei and others on the shore.
Zhang Fei's eyebrows jumped when he saw the black hole in the muzzle, and then he roared: "Hongfei, what do you mean by this? Are you going to fight to the death with me, Lao Zhang?"
"Third Master, Hongfei definitely has no such plan. There must be some misunderstanding about this matter. Mrs. Sun will never secretly take away little Adou."
As soon as Zhao Yi finished speaking, Sun Shangxiang walked out of the cabin with the child in his arms. Seeing this posture, he also realized that something was wrong.
"Where is the emperor's uncle? It was the emperor's uncle who asked me to hold the child and come to the boat to wait for him. Don't accuse me unfairly! Where is the emperor's uncle? You will know as soon as you ask!"
Zhang Fei didn't care about that, he took a deep breath and said: "You vicious woman, when my eldest brother wanted to marry you, my second brother and I didn't agree. You must be the spy sent by the blue-eyed Sun Quan to my eldest brother! Now you still dare to steal Let’s go Adou? Bring the boat over quickly, otherwise don’t blame me, Lao Zhang, for being unkind with the Zhangba Snake Spear in his hand!”
"You have wronged me! Well, if you want to accuse me, why bother? If you say I stole Adou, then I will take him away today, carry him to Jiangdong, and let him change his surname to Sun! If you have the ability, kill him now Kill me!"
Sun Shangxiang's temper was also rising at this moment. When had she ever been wronged and wronged like this? She immediately raised the sleeping Adou high, and the fat boy was blown by the river wind. He roared and suddenly woke up and cried loudly. .
"You evil woman, you have finally shown your true colors. Don't hurt my nephew, or I, Lao Zhang, will eat you alive!"
"Zhang Fei, you brainless black charcoal, come here if you have the ability. I'm right here, kill me!"
"Xiaoxiang, please stop talking. There must be some misunderstanding here."
"Misunderstanding? Is there any misunderstanding? Zhao Yi, I think it was your good father-in-law who set a trap for us two. He wanted to kill us on the Yangtze River and put us on a charge. Is this the person you are loyal to? This is Uncle Liu Huang, who is famous for his benevolence and righteousness? Today I can see clearly that even if I die, I will take his children with me!"
