"If the eldest lady is willing to marry me, I, Zhou Yu, will swear by the name of the Lujiang Zhou family for generations, and I will definitely live up to you in this life!"
"I wonder if the eldest lady is willing to marry me?"
Zhou Yu stood at the door, looking calm and confident.
If it were an ordinary woman, hearing this confession and vows, she would definitely say the three words "I do" with excitement.
Even though Qiaoying had always been as calm as water, her heart could not help but beat wildly at this moment.
"I……"
Qiao Ying was in a confused mood and hesitated for a moment.
"I disagree!"
Yuan Yao's voice arrived first before the people arrived.
Zhou Yu turned around suddenly, just in time to see a flying kick coming towards him.
Zhou Yu couldn't dodge and was kicked by Yuan Yao, causing him to fall to the ground and knock down the curtains in the room.
The curtain fell to the floor, and a beautiful face that fascinated both Zhou Yu and Yuan Yao appeared in front of them.
But now the two men's attention was focused on each other.
"Yuan Xianneng!"
Zhou Yu lost face in front of the beauty, and suddenly became angry. He pressed the sword on his waist with one hand and stood up facing Yuan Yao.
"How dare you kick me?"
"So what if I kick you?"
"Young pretty boy! How dare you come and steal someone while I'm not around!"
Yuan Yao is very angry now.
When I returned to Huainan from Yuzhang last year, the talent I wanted to recruit the most was actually Zhou Yu.
But since he entered Shouchun, he and Zhou Yu have had bad tempers. For more than a month, although Yuan Yao took the initiative to express his friendship several times, Zhou Yu always made excuses to disappear.
But this does not make Yuan Yao angry. After all, everyone has his own ambitions, especially top talents like Zhou Yu. It is normal to have his own temperament and ideas.
Therefore, Yuan Yao is very open-minded. Anyway, according to historical trends, Zhou Yu would not have the opportunity to defect to Jiangdong until the third year of Jian'an. It doesn't matter if he can't be captured now.
What really made Yuan Yao angry was Zhou Yu's participation in Sun Ce's rescue of Mrs. Wu.
Although it is unclear what role Zhou Yu played in it, whether he only provided information or was the main planner, Yuan Yao almost died in this so-called "rescue operation"!
Having been tricked behind his back, Yuan Yao was bound to take revenge.
As the eldest son of the Yuan family, General Yangwei, and the governor of Yangzhou, Yuan Yao does not have to tolerate anyone who is unfavorable to him!
Therefore, as soon as Yuan Yao came back, he went straight to the Zhou Family Courtyard to find trouble for Zhou Yu. When he learned that Zhou Yu had gone to Qiao Mansion, Yuan Yao immediately came with his people.
Although there is no substantial evidence that Zhou Yu participated in the attack on him, Yuan Yao now has a perfect excuse to deal with Zhou Yu!
…
Pretty boy?
This was the first time Zhou Yu heard this word, but from Yuan Yao's tone, he understood that it must not be a good word.
"Mr. Yuan, what you said is a bit too much."
"Miss Qiao and I are in love, so how can we talk about 'stealing people'?"
"You, on the other hand, ignored your engagement, abandoned Miss Qiao, showed great disrespect to Duke Qiao, regarded the dignity of the Qiao clan as nothing, and were extremely ruthless and rude. Who have the qualifications to teach me a lesson?"
Zhou Yu's thin lips moved up and down, and in a few words he characterized Yuan Yao as a "ruthless and rude" person.
"well said!"
Xiaoqiao hid behind Daqiao and secretly clenched his fists, shouting in a low voice.
What Zhou Yu said was exactly what Xiaoqiao was thinking. Yuan Yao regretted his marriage twice in a row, and now someone finally helped him and his sister vent their anger.
Daqiao looked at the two people who were at war with each other in front of him, but he couldn't sit still.
She wanted to get up and persuade her, but when she thought of her half-dressed sister behind her, she gave up the idea.
Yuan Yao knew that he would definitely not be able to defeat Zhou Yu. After all, this Zhou Gongjin was the real protagonist of the "tongue-in-cheek battle" in history!
But he didn't want to talk nonsense with Zhou Yu. Ever since he had a discussion with Sun Ce in the military camp after time travel, Yuan Yao had figured out something.
Just because a person's voice is loud doesn't necessarily mean what he says makes sense.
What a person says makes sense, but no one may listen.
The most useful thing is to speak with your fists!
Shouchun City, who has the biggest and hardest fist now?
Of course it was Yuan Yao who was ordered to stay in Shouchun and supervise everything in Yangzhou!
Bang~
There was a crisp sound.
In the disbelief of everyone's eyes, Yuan Yao showed Zhou Yu what it means to be able to make a loud slap.
"Did you call me Young Master Yuan?"
"Call me the Governor!"
Zhou Yu was so beaten that he forgot to cover his face.
If Yuan Yao's first kick to him was ridiculous, then this slap was simply unbelievable!
Even though you, Yuan Yao, come from the clan of the fourth and third sons of the Yuan family in Runan, I, Zhou Yu, am also the second and third son of the Lujiang Zhou family. We are all descendants of aristocratic families. How dare you kick me and slap me without giving me any face?
In the current troubled times, princes from all sides, whether sincere or fake, will act like polite and virtuous corporals to the world in order to consolidate their rule and attract talents to join them.
If the world knew that you, Yuan Yao, were so rude to aristocratic families, would anyone still believe that you, Yuan Shu, Yuan Yao and his son could be courteous to virtuous corporals?
"You...how dare you slap me?"
Zhou Yu was so angry that his voice trembled: "I am the second prince of the Zhou family in Lujiang, and how dare you be so rude to me!"
"rude?"
"I'm so ruthless!"
Bang~
Yuan Yao's backhand slapped his ears again.
"Second Lieutenant of the Zhou family in Lujiang?"
"Ah! What the hell!"
"I miss you, your great-great-grandfather Zhou Rong. He was just a member of the Yuan family in Runan. Without the guidance of my great-great-grandfather, how could you, the Zhou family in Lujiang, become a member of the Gongqing clan?"
Zhou Yu took several steps back, his face burning. Although he lost all face, he could not argue.
The Lujiang Zhou family originated from Zhou Rong, Zhou Yu's fourth generation ancestor. During the reign of Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty, he established the mansion of Situ Yuan An by citing the Ming Dynasty. Later, Zhou Rong, as the confidant of the Yuan family, became famous in the struggle between the Yuan family and his relative Dou family, and was able to be ranked among the two thousand stone ministers.
It was not until Zhou Rong's grandsons that the Lujiang Zhou family took a step further and became one of the three nobles of the world. The so-called title of Second Prince and Third Duke was only given to Zhou Zhong when he became a Taiwei three years ago. Moreover, Zhou Zhong only served as a Taiwei for a few months, so his reputation was very limited.
Such a family background is naturally not worth mentioning in front of the Runan Yuan family who has four generations and three sons.
"It's something that has been forgotten by our ancestors. When our descendants see my benefactor, they don't greet me politely. How dare they call me rude?"
Yuan Yao stepped forward and then fired his bow from left to right.
Zhou Yu was unwilling to continue to be humiliated, so he made a sound and was about to draw his sword.
Scholars can be killed but not humiliated!
However, someone drew the sword faster than Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu's sword was only half drawn when a bright sword was already placed on Zhou Yu's neck.
The guard captain Chen Dao appeared in front of Yuan Yao without knowing when and using what footwork, and directly restrained Zhou Yu.
Yuan Yao was delighted. He didn't expect Zhou Yu to be so brave and dare to draw his sword directly against him.
"You're really good!"
"You dare to show your sword to me now?"
Zhou Yu's face darkened and he looked at Chen Dao coldly.
Even though Zhou Yu has fair skin and a scholarly face. In fact, he has good martial arts skills and is a master who can lead armies in battles.
But he never thought that he would be stopped by someone.
If he was kicked and slapped several times by Yuan Yao just now, it was because he did not expect that Yuan Yao would not save any face for him. .
But it was hard for him to believe that he was stopped by someone running away from the door several steps away.
How could someone draw a sword so fast!
How many brave soldiers did the Yuan family of Runan raise?
A swish sound.
Zhou Yu directly pressed the sword back and said angrily: "Yuan Xianneng, if you have the ability, kill me now!"
"If I could go out today, I would definitely tell the world how you, the Yuan family in Runan, use your power to bully others!"
"You Yuan Xianneng, how domineering and domineering you are!"
Seeing Zhou Yu's unchanging expression, Yuan Yao was secretly amazed.
After all, he is the future governor of Soochow, and his courage is indeed extraordinary.
"Master Yuan!"
Ohashi screamed.
"Captain Yuan, please forgive Mr. Zhou for being rude. What happened today was not like this."
"Young Master Zhou is here just to discuss the art of music with me, and there is no personal relationship."
Daqiao could no longer sit still, and knelt on the ground and begged Yuan Yao: "I am devoted to you, and I only care for the governor!"
Only then did Yuan Yao have time to look at Daqiao, but Daqiao lowered his head and could not see his face clearly.
Just from her figure, it can be seen that Da Qiao is a beauty.
"Discussing music?" Yuan Yao said disdainfully: "You treat me like a fool?"
"Miss Qiao, Zhou Yu understands what you mean."
"But Miss, you don't have to be like this. Zhou Yu has always been bold in doing things."
Zhou Yu turned his head and glanced at the bridge, with a trace of sadness in his eyes.
"Even if the sword strikes me, my sincere heart for you will not change!"
"Tsk tsk tsk" Yuan Yao looked at Zhou Yu and said, "I didn't see that you are an infatuated person!"
"Miss Qiao, you heard it too. It's not that I don't believe what you said, it's just that he doesn't appreciate your favor."
Daqiao raised his head and looked at Zhou Yu with eyes full of pleading and confusion.
"Master Zhou, you came to me today just to discuss music, right?"
Daqiao still wanted to save it one last time.
In fact, this is not out of love for his sweetheart, but Daqiao simply does not want his sister's marriage to change.
But Zhou Yu got it wrong. When he saw Daqiao saying good things to him, he only thought that Daqiao was interested in him.
So she was deeply moved and said: "Miss Qiao is well versed in the art of music. She must know the allusion of 'the music is high and the music is low'."
Daqiao was stunned and nodded unconsciously.
"Since ancient times, it is hard to find a true friend and a good man. It is my great fortune, Zhou Yu, to have such a good match as Miss Qiao."
Zhou Yu turned his head, pointed at Yuan Yao and said rudely: "Yuan Xianneng is ignorant and knows nothing about music. He is just a vulgar and rude person. How can he be worthy of Miss Qiao?"
"If Miss Qiao becomes Yuan's concubine from now on, I, Zhou Yu, will never die in peace!"
Zhou Yu raised his eyebrows and looked directly at Yuan Yao.
Although there was a sword on his neck, Zhou Yu's momentum at this time completely overwhelmed Yuan Yao.
At this time, Yuan Yao was completely lost, as if his soul had been taken away, looking straight at the beautiful face revealed after the bridge raised its head.
The bridge turned out to be her!
Tell me earlier! So that I can search blindly!
I even sent someone to guard Nanjiekou, waiting for you to show up again!
There is no way to find the right way without wearing iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.
After doing this for a long time, he realized that the beauty he had been having sex with for a long time was the wife he had never had time to marry!
But what's going on between her and Zhou Yu?
