Chapter 424: Lu Buqiao’s Grand Duke’s Marriage
Qiao Hu scolded: "Grandpa, we are about to be attacked and killed by Lu Bu. How can we have any sense of humanity?"
No matter how scared Qiao Hu was, Lu Bu led his army and horses back to Lujiang City, immediately attracting the horrified eyes of all the defenders.
Everyone swallowed for a while and looked at Qiao Hu without confidence.
Grand Duke Qiao: "Come here, open the city gate."
Just when Qiao Hu was silently cheering himself up, he suddenly heard Grandpa Qiao's words and felt horrified in his heart.
He rubbed his ears vigorously to make sure he heard correctly.
Qiao Hu said in shock: "What? You can't beat Lu Bu even if you close the city gate, let alone open the city gate."
Immediately, Qiao Hu thought of something again, strategically leaned back, raised his hand and pointed at Grand Duke Qiao tremblingly, and asked with disbelief: "Are we going to surrender to Lu Bu?
How is this possible?This is immoral. Just now we opened the door for Sun Ce, why did we surrender to Lu Bu in the blink of an eye? "
No matter how shocked Qiao Hu was, the answer he got was still what Grandpa Qiao said.
"You are too young."
“We are looking for partners, so naturally we will look for whoever is strong.
Sun Ce is not our lord, and the alliance has not really started to cooperate. Neither party is tied together to talk about morality and immorality. "
"Is this, is this good?" Qiao Hu felt that it made sense.
"You're still young."
The shocked Qiao Hu was stunned by what Taigong Qiao said. Although he was reluctant, he still obeyed the order and opened the gate of Lujiang.
Galala.
The gate of Lujiang City once again treats guests with a welcoming attitude.
Grand Duke Qiao shouted from the city wall: "My dear nephew, Lu Bu, I have been waiting for you for a long time. Come into the city and have a drink and talk."
Listening to Grandpa Qiao's seemingly familiar words, Qiao Hu squatted on the ground in embarrassment, his face red with embarrassment.
However, Grandpa Qiao waved to Lu Bu enthusiastically as if nothing was wrong.
Lu Bu laughed.
……
The next day, Lu Bu rewarded those who had meritorious service in the battle. For Qiao Hu's cooperation in surrendering, not only was his official reinstated, he was also rewarded with a large amount of money.
"Hehe! Thank you for the reward, my lord. I will do my best to solve my lord's problems."
Seeing that he had received so many rewards, Qiao Hu smiled so hard that his mouth stretched to the back of his head.
Grandpa Qiao asked quietly from the side: "Are you happy?"
"Hey, happy."
At this time, Qiao Hu also knew that Grandpa Qiao had been in contact with Lu Bu for a long time, and he admired him very much.
Grandpa Qiao: "Are you still thinking about killing and morality?"
"Sun Ce is a traitor, and General Lu has the Han court behind him. It is morally right for us to follow him." Qiao Hu said firmly.
"I learn quickly." Mrs. Qiao's lips curled up.
……
Taigong Qiao's house was decorated with lights and colorful decorations everywhere. It was cleaned inside and out, and it was preparing to welcome Lu Bu's arrival.
"Mr. Qiao, you are too polite."
Even though they were far away, Lu Bu cupped his fists and saluted, smiling at Grand Duke Qiao.
Lu Bu arrived at the door of Grand Duke Qiao's house with a group of servants and many gifts.
There was already a sea of people in front of Grandpa Qiao's house, including Grandpa Qiao's own family and some neighbors watching the fun.
Everyone knew that today was the day when Lu Bu went to Grand Duke Qiao's house to propose marriage, so they came to watch the excitement.
"General Lu, you are here to bring glory to the humble house. Please come in quickly."
Seeing Lu Bu approaching, Grandpa Qiao ignored the etiquette and ran quickly to Lu Bu with a walking stick in hand, and personally led the horse for him.
Seeing Grand Duke Qiao holding the horse for Lu Bu, the crowd suddenly burst into surprised comments.
"Wow, look, Grandpa Qiao actually led Lu Bu's horse himself."
"Yes, when Yuan Shu came to our Lujiang, Grandpa Qiao didn't even come out of the door."
"There is no way. In troubled times, a soldier is the king. Lu Bu is so powerful that a few hundred people could drive away Sun Ce's tens of thousands. How many people in the world can do that?"
"Hmph, our Qiao family can prosper for another hundred years."
Lu Bu and Grand Duke Qiao came to the hall chatting and laughing. The hall was filled with the most respectable big men in Lujiang City. They all stood up and saluted. Lu Bu just smiled at everyone.
After Lu Bu sat down, everyone dared to sit down with him.
During the banquet, everyone said some polite words.
It was nothing more than Lu Bu bragging about his glorious history, such as how many people he killed on the banks of the Huai River, which made Grand Duke Qiao nod his head repeatedly and praise him with his thumbs up.
"Fengxian is indeed brave. I'll give you another drink."
And Grandpa Qiao is also a man who has experienced great storms, and he has no shortage of bragging rights.
I saw him raising his finger with a serious face, first pointing to the south, then pointing to the north, then pointing to the east, and finally pointing to the west. They were all confused by Lu Bu's turn. .
Lu Bu asked in confusion: "Mr. Qiao, what do you mean?"
"What Lao Chan means is that within a radius of a hundred miles, Lao Chan's words are still useful."
Mr. Qiao said proudly while chewing something in his mouth.
He was not boasting. The Lujiang River is located on the edge of the Yangtze River and already belongs to the south. It is very far away from Yanzhou, Xuzhou and other places where Lu Bu had previously been active.
His Qiao family has been operating here for many years and indeed has certain strength.
But as soon as Mr. Qiao finished speaking, the surrounding gradually became quiet. Everyone looked at each other in surprise and did not dare to talk to each other.
Ye Yun was kind-hearted and repeated with a smile: "Mr. Qiao is so capable. He can make decisions for hundreds of miles."
True to the words of the onlooker Qing Qing, Grandpa Qiao felt very proud when he said these words himself.
But when I heard Ye Yun repeat it again, I was suddenly shocked.
It's over, it's over.
How could I say such a thing in front of Lu Bu?As the actual ruler of Lujiang, Lu Bu certainly did not want his subordinates to be too powerful.
After looking at Ye Yun gratefully, Grandpa Qiao hurriedly handed over his hand.
"The old man is too drunk and talking nonsense. General, please don't take offense."
"It doesn't matter, we are getting married soon and we will be a family."
Lu Bu smiled and comforted, but he didn't think so in his heart.
The power of the family must be weakened, otherwise his notice will definitely be unstable, and the Qiao family is no exception.
These are troubled times, and it’s a good time to use swords and guns.
Everyone talked and laughed for a while, and Lu Bu had been looking around absentmindedly. He had been looking forward to seeing the sisters Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao.
Lu Bu asked casually: "Mr. Qiao, we are busy with state affairs now and we are keeping everything simple. When do you think the marriage arrangement is suitable?"
"this…"
Because of the big talk he had just said, Grandpa Qiao was a little nervous at this moment. Looking at Lu Bu's anxious face, he immediately understood in his heart and deliberately shortened the time.
"How about one month from now? This is very tight. After all, we still have to arrange the venue, invite relatives and friends, and prepare various applications..."
While Grandpa Qiao was talking, he peeked at Lu Bu's face and found that he was unhappy, so he immediately shut up and changed his words.
"Actually, if you tighten it tightly, half a month is enough..."
