The wind in spring always brings a kind of warm tenderness when blowing on people's faces.
It is this kind of warmth that blows green all things on both sides of Jingchu, and all things begin again and enter a new round of vitality.
However, on the banks of the Xiangshui River, which made people's eyes brighten, a man and two women slowly appeared.
These three people were dressed in luxurious clothes.
At a glance, it was obvious that they were noble people who were out for an outing.
However, the behavior and speech of the three people made people feel a bit strange.
The two stunning ladies beside the man were walking side by side, chatting and laughing, and their laughter was like silver bells, making the Xiangshui River ripple.
The man couldn't get in the conversation at all, it seemed superfluous.
But if that's all, it's just a poor rich man who has become a free attendant of a famous lady.
But the topic of conversation between these two stunning women seemed to be inseparable from the man.
Sometimes they even took the initiative to ask for confirmation.
In exchange for the man's crying answers, it seemed that this man was the center of the trip.
Such a strange combination, coupled with their unparalleled appearance and extraordinary temperament, immediately attracted the attention of other children from aristocratic families and ladies who went out for an outing, especially those two women.
Those young men wanted to take the initiative to talk.
When they were halfway there, when they saw the obvious buns on their heads, the two women gave a strange smile to the man beside them.
Regarding these, Ma Chao could only smile bitterly in return.
Naturally, he could understand those talented people laughing at his stupidity for not knowing the beauty of Wenwen Township, but how could they know how much he wanted to take the initiative to join Diao Chan and Da Qiao's chat?
But these two seemed to be deliberately so ordinary, talking exclusively about women's gossip, which made him, a grown man, really shameless to get close to them.
At this time, after Ma Chao rejected the suggestion of a bold woman to accompany him, Da Qiao gradually realized that something was wrong and took the initiative to speak to Ma Chao: "Ma Chao, have you finished the matter in Runan?"
In ancient times, it was quite impolite to call people by their first names.
However, Ma Chao not only did not feel the slightest objection to being called Da Qiao, but he responded naturally: "That's almost it.
The rest are just small details.
There is no use for the power of King Yong."
Ma Chao and the others left Runan together with Kuai Liang, and they also walked with them all the way.
Naturally, this was done to cover up Da Qiao's whereabouts so as not to be harassed by Sun Ce again.
When they arrived at Xiangyang City, they parted ways with Kuai Liang, leaving Kuai Liang to urgently report to Liu Biao about the situation of his mission to Runan, and carry out the next step of selling iron to support Liu Bei.
And for a fellow countryman like Da Qiao, Ma Chao is not stupid enough to reveal these big plans related to the Ma family's development strategy.
So after he vaguely mentioned it, he asked with a bit of mystery: "Both of you know my true identity, and you may be able to guess why I came to Xiangyang this time."
When Diao Chan heard this, a hint of amusement appeared on her face.
After many years of married life, Diao Chan knew that Ma Chao was the kind of conspirator who made plans before taking action.
And this time Liu Biao was seriously ill in Jingzhou, which could be said to have affected the whole body.
Since Ma Chao comforted and instigated Liu Bei in Runan, there must have been insiders in Jingzhou who secretly informed him.
This time he came to Xiangyang, he must have come to contact that person secretly.
Moreover, Diao Chan could also guess that the identity of that person was extremely important and Ma Chao had to be present in person.
However, just like Ma Chao's concerns, Diao Chan knew that Da Qiao was on her side, so she couldn't say these words.
This feeling that she knew in her heart but still had to hold back, made Diao Chan feel bitter.
In particular, she pretended not to be able to guess as she looked back and forth between Ma Chao and Da Qiao.
"Xiangyang is a place that is very familiar to us.
In that world, watching Jin Daxia's Three Steps of Shooting the Condor and watching Guo Daxia fight under Xiangyang City, people can't help but be fascinated.
Moreover, Xiangyang has been known as Xiongguan since ancient times.
Xiangyang is known as the iron-clad city, and was even called the best city in the world."
After Qing Youyou said this, Da Qiao did not make a conclusion lightly, but turned around to observe Ma Chao's reaction.
Ma Chao was naturally happy when he heard this.
You must know that women in previous lives knew a lot about the Legend of the Condor Heroes, but there were really not many women who could tell that Xiangyang was the best city in the world.
From this, he proudly said: "It is indeed true, north of the Xiang River, south of the Han River, on the side of the mountains.

It is this place that has created a legend through the ages, although the story of Guo Jing and Huang Rong is exaggerated in the novel. ingredients, but This Xiangyang City is indeed a battleground for military strategists.
In such troubled times, this place is even more coveted by the Ma family, Cao family, and Sun family.
I dare to say that in a year, no, even just half a year, the world will say: He who wins Xiangyang wins the world."
After saying this, Diao Chan couldn't help but frown slightly, and Da Qiao's expression on the side didn't look very natural either.
But Ma Chao was completely immersed in the magnificent scenery of this great river and mountain.
At this time, the three of them had reached the top of Xian Mountain.
They looked down and saw the surging Han River.
Xiangyang and Fancheng were like two emeralds falling on both sides of the Xiang River.
The sky is high, the clouds are white, the wind is clear, the grass and trees are green, and the bamboo forest is like the sea.
Looking at Yunmengze from a distance, it is vast and endless.
On Yuliang Island, there are farmers rowing boats to cross the water and harvest rice fields.
Although Jingzhou has always been in chaos, the chaos is mainly at the upper level.
Among the farmers and countryside, there is still a tranquil paradise scene with vast clouds.
"If Chang'an and other places are already cities with budding commodity economies, then Xiangyang is a holy land for vacations and outings.
In fact," Ma Chao's mood was relatively high at first, but later on, his tone naturally became lower: "You really shouldn't suffer the torment of war, but troubled times are so ruthless."
"Husband, don't be so sentimental.
Since you are the one who has insight into the future, and now you are standing in the north with hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
Naturally, there are ways to protect the people of Xiangyang from the poison of the war."
Diao Chan stepped forward and comforted slightly, and then said something.
Pointing to the point, he added: "When you come to Xiangyang this time, my husband must have a plan in mind."
Regarding the final plan, Diao Chan deliberately took it a step further: she deliberately exposed the matter, firstly to let Ma Chao know that she understood the purpose of his coming to Xiangyang, and secondly, to remind him not to be around Da Qiao.
Let’s talk more about the Ma family’s strategy.
If the two of them brought this up openly, Ma Chao would inevitably feel annoyed that Diao Chan was too cautious.
But in fact, Ma Chao didn't notice the unnaturalness on Da Qiao's face before, but the delicate Diao Chan saw it.
Especially since she has a grudge against Da Qiao in her heart, she is naturally afraid that Da Qiao will guess the Ma family's strategy from some words Ma Chao accidentally revealed.
Diao Chan doesn't like such scheming, but now she has activated a defense mechanism in her heart, so she will naturally take advantage of him everywhere.
Fortunately, after seeing Ma Chao slightly displeased but still nodding slightly, Diao Chan understood that Ma Chao still trusted her a lot more.
But even though Diao Chan has taken precautions everywhere, there are still some things that cannot be guarded against.
After she and Ma Chao reached a tacit agreement on the contract, Da Qiao said again: "Although most people believe that everything depends on man-made decisions, after all, some things cannot escape fate."
This sentence was meaningless, and Ma Chao and Diao Chan naturally focused their attention on Da Qiao.
Da Qiao seemed to be a little more sad and pitiful for a moment, but he quickly calmed down and continued to say in a very heavy tone: "Ma Chao, you definitely didn't come to Xiangyang just for sightseeing.
As King Yong, you , it can bring about military disasters and conspiracy chaos.
If my guess is correct, you deliberately passed through Xiangyang and did not enter, just for one person here."
"Who?"
Ma Chao felt that there was a coldness in the smile at the corner of his mouth, which was his reaction when he felt threatened.
"During the Three Kingdoms period, besides Quelongzhong Wolong, who else was worthy of your visit, King Yong?"
Ma Chao was speechless, which was regarded as acquiescence, but Diao Chan seemed unwilling to do so and spoke for her husband: "Even if my husband is here because of Zhuge Liang, then why did my sister say that Xiangyang will definitely suffer from war?"
"Because, Sun Ce's plan is to move the government to Lujiang and Anhui County after his wedding.
His plans for Jingzhou are self-evident."
At this point, Da Qiao had a sneer on his lips: "Yong The king's relatives arrived, Sun Ce moved the capital, and the Cao family settled in Qingzhou.
All three families made intensive preparations for Jingzhou.
How could Jingzhou escape the continuous disaster of war?"
