Chapter 6 - Lost without direction

Since he had nothing else to do, Zixuan rode his horse and strolled around the back of the mountain. It was getting late, so Zixuan prepared to return home, and when he returned to the city, he unintentionally saw a jewelry store with an orchid hairpin, attracting his attention.

A silver hairpin was inlaid with jade-like leaves. It was warm to the touch and not cold at all. It was dotted with milky white flowers that stood out from the rest, giving off an orchid elegance.

Orchids have always been regarded as a symbol of high purity and elegance, and with "plum, bamboo, chrysanthemum" juxtaposed, collectively known as "four gentlemen."

The leaves of the orchid are like the sands of the sea. It is the first spring when the sun shines. The flowers are very fragrant, most of them are born in the forest, the breeze passes through them, and their fragrance reaches outside.

He was as old as he was in the deep woods, born in the wild and unheeded but also arrogant, disdainful to be with the mob.

"Boss, I want this hairpin." Zixuan smiled as he looked at the hairpin with satisfaction.

"This …" The owner looked troubled. "The hairpin has already been ordered and will be delivered to the mansion today."

"Well, can you tell me the address? I'd like to pay a visit."

He followed the address given by the owner and arrived at the entrance of the mansion. Surprisingly, there was one word: Zhou.

Zixuan had only seen Zhou Yu once when he was in the Jiang Dong. The late leader Sun Ce had left behind a sentence, I will ask Zhang Zhao about internal matters later, and Zhou Yu about external matters later.

It seemed that this Zhou Yu wasn't someone to be trifled with. If he wanted to establish himself in the Jiang Dong, he would have to meet this Zhou Yu at least once. Zixuan muttered to himself, persistent.

As long as he was not harmed, and was not taken advantage of by the little people, it was fine. In any case, there were very few friends in Jiang Dong, and Zixuan was very free so he came here to be bored.

Zixuan straightened his clothes and spoke to the official at the door: I am Zhao Hongying, and seek to meet Madam General Zhou. The man was surprised, but he returned the salute. "Please wait a moment, I'll go and ask the Countess."

Zhou Yu and his wife had always loved each other. Even if they bought the hairpin, they didn't have an outer room, it must be for his wife.

"Alright, I'll wait here." Zixuan brought his sister and waited at the door. The weather wasn't cold, it was a little pleasant.

Zixuan was still smiling. Compared to the persistent Zixuan who knew everything, she seemed to be a different person, and not long after, Xiaoqiao walked out with graceful steps, as if she was a god.

Xiaoqiao walked in front of Zixuan, saluted, and slowly asked: I wonder if Mister has anything for me?

"Madame, I wonder if the General ever bought her an orchid hairpin from the city?"

And at this time, a carriage stopped, and a handsome general came down. It was Zhou Yu, who looked at the scene from afar in silence.

"Why are so many people standing at the door?" Zhou Yu looked at Xiaoqiao, as if he was asking, Husband, this Young Noble suddenly came to me and asked me a strange question. Xiaoqiao looked at Zhou Yu with a smile. It could be seen that she really loved him.

Zhou Yu looked at Zixuan with a serious expression, The thing that you want is here. It seemed that he did not expect Zixuan to appear here. He took out a hairpin from his chest and placed it on Xiaoqiao.

Xiaoqiao smiled shyly.

"I wonder if the general will be willing to part with it!" Zixuan quickly replied, then looked at Zhou Yu: General Zhou, is it possible? He seemed to be asking for his opinion.

"Now that I have given it to the Lady, I will leave it to the Lady to decide." Zhou Yu thought to himself, there was no need to make things difficult for Xiaoqiao, Then I won't take away people's love. Zixuan was too embarrassed to ask for it like the Madam, so he could only give up.

With that, Zhou Yu walked into the manor.

"Wait a moment, how about Mister having dinner before leaving?"

Then, he looked at Zhou Yu who was inside, Can I? It all depended on him if he wanted to enter.

Zhou Yu did not say anything and only gave his tacit consent. Seeing his cold attitude, he reckoned that it was not easy to offend.

Zixuan passionately invited them, but it was difficult to refuse their kindness. Zixuan followed them in, and as Zixuan walked, he looked along the way, and very quickly took his seat. There were many dishes, and it was also very sumptuous.

A large group of servants came up to clean up, Xiaoqiao also joined in and helped. Zhou Yu did not care about all this and stood up, Follow me. Looking at him, this sentence was directed towards Zixuan.

Zixuan did not think too much about it and just followed him. He arrived at a quiet house, it was completely empty, only a few people sat behind it with a sword, and a guqin behind the screen.

"Where is this?" Zixuan asked first.

"My study." It couldn't be, it was so empty. There were many books in Fufeng's grass hut, such as bamboo slips, silk, and so on, but here, there was not a single ancient book nor a single volume of books. It was not even a study, it was completely different from Fufeng's study.

It could be said that Fufeng's was a library. It was made from all kinds of books, bamboo slips, and paper.

And here, there was not a single book. "Why isn't there a book?" Zixuan looked at Zhou Yu doubtfully.

Zixuan faintly smiled, as if he was trying to conceal his nervousness. Zhou Yu must have some other purpose, was he trying to probe him out?

I finished reading one book, burned one book, read all of them, and then burned them all, so there are no books in the study, only the four walls, Zixuan nodded, there was nothing else he could say, he wanted to force himself to remember the contents of all these books, so it was not easy at all.

Zixuan had read a lot of ancient books and remembered many things, but he still had to use them again. Zixuan couldn't remember so much, he still needed to flip through more to remind himself.

I ve long heard that Zixuan's face is as beautiful as jade and is extremely handsome. Seeing her today, I 'm really seeing her today. He smiled faintly, as if he was watching and trying to provoke Zixuan into a rage. For a man, how could anyone not be angry?

However, he was talking about Zixuan, who was not a man after all. When he heard this, he only felt that it was frivolous, and even more so like a person who came from the streets. He could only smile, General Zhou seems to be paying a lot of attention to this one, it isn't a bad thing.

That is to say, Zixuan did not care, if he could not be angry over such a small matter, Zhou Yu would feel that he did not have any shrewdness, so he could not be angry, Zixuan has someone he likes, if not, why would he be so stubborn about a hairpin, and even go so far as to chase after me?

It was true that he had lost his composure and shouldn't have acted so rashly. It was normal for the people from the Jiang Dong to be suspicious of him.

"Do I?" He could pretend to be cold and mysterious, but the best thing was not to answer him in person.

You seem to have traveled all over Jian Kang today for the sake of this hairpin?

The General Zhou didn't call me here for this, right? No one believes it just because it's a hairpin, but it's the truth, and it won't be taken out when you buy it.

Waiting for him to reveal his true intentions, Zhou Yu turned around and sat down, the servants also brought up the tea, and Zixuan sat on his left side, Zhou Yu took a sip of the tea and said: Hearing the accent, Zixuan doesn't sound like a local!

It seemed that he was really testing the waters, and there was even a trace of doubt in his voice, "No, I am from the north. I came across the river from the north." What Zixuan said was true, it was not adulterated, but to be so frank, Zhou Yu was surprised.

"Oh?" Is that so? "

Looks like he did not expect Zixuan to say it out loud, I say, I am a spy sent by Cao Cao, do you believe me, General Zhou?

Zixuan was still joking around when a cold sword was held at his throat, If what you said is true, then I ll kill you. He was truly loyal to the Jiang Dong.

If General Zhou doesn't believe, then let's do it. Zixuan closed his eyes. He was betting on himself, as though when he left Fufeng, he had already become a gambler and was betting his life against the heavens. However, the heavens still favored Zixuan, at least for now, he had never lost.

Zhou Yu's eyes grew cold, For this kind of matter, I would rather kill three thousand wrongly than to let any one of you off.

I, Zixuan am also not a fish on a chopping block. Zixuan's eyes were wide open as he looked at Zhou Yu, unwilling to admit defeat.

"Ha …" "Ha …" "He's still a bit bloodthirsty." Saying that, he returned his sword back to its scabbard and sat on the seat in front of him, You think that coming to Jiang Dong is akin to a fish swimming in water? So is the fish in the water now, or the fish in the pot? "

He was still suspicious of Zixuan, it was normal for him to be suspicious of him, but if he had believed it from the start, Zixuan would have suspected instead, "The fish is still in the water, and it's still in the river, able to swim freely."

Zixuan, why don't you become an official under Cao Cao? You ll definitely have more accomplishments than now. A northerner who had travelled thousands of miles to become an official in the south had truly made people suspicious. He could not say that he had a grudge against him.

"Because I am a burly man's subject, I still have a trace of conscience. I still have half a body of blood, and even if it were scattered across the sky, I would not surrender to a traitor." Cao Cao holding the Son of Heaven hostage, everything was his idea.

Zhou Yu did not say anything, he was just drinking the tea, and no one knew when Zixuan had stood up, General Zhou, it's getting late, I have to take my leave.

I don't know what Zhou Yu was thinking, but in this chaotic world, the difference between a ruler and a official was too obvious. Whoever had military power could rule over a region, and the Dong Wu could probably also do the same ~

Coincidentally, Xiaoqiao also rushed over, Madam, I will be taking my leave. Zixuan bid farewell to Xiaoqiao.

Zixuan, I ll give this to you. Xiaoqiao put away the hairpin and placed it in a box, Thank you Madam. When Zixuan received it, he was extremely happy, but he couldn't not show it on his face.

Others wrongly accused Zixuan, he would not care, as long as it was killing the traitor, he would not care.
