Lord in the Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 164: Xiao Qiao Ran Away

Upon hearing this, Elder Qiao finally let out a sigh of relief.

This is good... this is good...

Wait!!!

What did he just say?!

...

Them?

Two young ladies!!

So, this brat wants to swallow a snake and an elephant together!

He wants both at once!

I thought he only wanted to take Qiao Ying as his concubine...

What to do? If I refuse this Little Conqueror of Jiangdong...

Would he order his executioners to chop my family to pieces?

Warlords are most adept at killing, and their methods are exceedingly brutal...

At this thought, Elder Qiao’s face turned a few shades paler...

Seeing the tense atmosphere...

Xu Chu, standing behind Long Chen, grew impatient and shouted:

"Old man, don’t be ungrateful! My lord is sincere!"

As he spoke, he revealed the black iron greatsword at his waist, its cold gleam intimidating.

Seeing this, Elder Qiao, who was already half-buried in the ground, was scared out of his wits.

Good heavens, this is outright coercion!!!

He had heard that Long Chen had two immensely powerful generals by his side, each capable of fighting thousands!

This must be one of them!

Long Chen shot a glare at Xu Chu and scolded:

"Zhongkang! What are you doing!?"

"This is my future father-in-law; you must not be so disrespectful!!"

Xu Chu scratched his head in embarrassment, muttering, "Understood... my lord..."

Seeing Long Chen defend him, Elder Qiao’s face regained a bit of color.

Sigh... It seems I have no choice but to agree.

In these chaotic times, you can’t always make your own decisions!

Long Chen had many soldiers and great strength, with the potential to dominate Yangzhou and even broader regions in the future!

Becoming his father-in-law wasn’t a bad prospect...

At least in this chaotic world, I wouldn’t have to worry about bandits or the coercion of other warlords!

The aged Elder Qiao lowered his head, then nodded and forced a smile, saying:

"General, you are a hero of our times. For my daughters... to receive your favor is indeed their fortune!"

"This old man naturally agrees!!!"

Seeing Elder Qiao’s response, Long Chen immediately stood up, cupped his hands, and said:

"Rest assured, father-in-law, I will certainly treat Ying’er and Qian’er well!"

Elder Qiao nodded with a bitter smile.

Long Chen now truly felt the thrill of forcibly taking beautiful women!

Oh, it feels so satisfying!!!

Although it’s not right to do this, it feels great!!!

In the world of "The Great Lord," as long as you have enough power, you can do whatever you want!

Because... this is a chaotic era!

Remembering how in the Three Kingdoms, Sun Ce, with just three thousand soldiers from Jiangdong, broke through Wan County and forced Da Qiao to marry him.

Long Chen’s initial sense of guilt eased a bit.

Sun Ce died early, but I won’t.

Da Qiao, from now on, let me treat you well!!

As he thought this, he glanced at Da Qiao.

But Da Qiao had taken the opportunity to leave while they were talking.

She must be shy~

Long Chen thought smugly.

East Suburbs Backyard.

Taking advantage of the conversation between her father and Long Chen, Da Qiao quickly ran out.

She was looking for her sister, Xiao Qiao.

She knew her sister’s heart belonged to another man, and if she were forced to marry Long Chen,

Her sister would be unhappy!

Thinking of this made Da Qiao feel a bit sad... freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

Suddenly,

A sweet voice called out, "Sister~~ I’m here!"

Turning her head, Da Qiao saw Xiao Qiao in her light purple dress.

"Sister, what’s wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?!"

"Qian’er, you must leave! General Long wants to take both of us as concubines! I know you have an agreement with Zhou Yu..."

Da Qiao said seriously.

"What!!?"

"That guy dares to take both of us sisters as concubines at once!!!"

Xiao Qiao’s tone was filled with astonishment.

She was both embarrassed and angry.

Suddenly,

As if thinking of something, Xiao Qiao said in a sweet voice:

"No, sister, I must leave here and go find Gongjin!"

"Gongjin is so smart, he will surely find a way to deal with Long Chen!!"

"Sister, why don’t you come with me!"

With that, Xiao Qiao looked at Da Qiao with hopeful eyes.

Unexpectedly, Da Qiao shook her head helplessly.

She held Xiao Qiao’s hand gently and said softly:

"Qian’er, if we both leave, what will happen to our father..." freewēbnoveℓ.com

"Don’t worry, you can leave! I’ll stay behind."

"Sister!!!"

Tears welled up in Xiao Qiao’s eyes as she spoke.

Da Qiao cautiously looked around and, pulling Xiao Qiao’s hand, said:

"Sister, hurry! While they’re still unprepared, you need to leave quickly!! Otherwise, it will be too late!!!"

"Sister, you... don’t worry, I’ll ask Gongjin to come back and rescue you and father!"

After saying this, Xiao Qiao quickly left with some belongings.

...

In the hall.

Having achieved his goal, Long Chen was enjoying a pleasant conversation and drinking merrily with Elder Qiao, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

However,

A hurried voice broke the peace.

"Master, Master, something’s wrong! The young lady, the young lady has run away from home!!!"

Boom—

Elder Qiao felt as if his head had been struck by lightning, buzzing with shock.

"Wha... what!!?"

I had just finished discussing the concubine ceremony and date with my future son-in-law Long Chen!

And now the bride has run away, am I supposed to marry General Long myself!!?

Oh my!

This is a disaster!! Not one of them lets me rest easy!

"Which young lady??" Elder Qiao asked frantically.

"The second young lady!"

"Son-in-law, wh-what should we do?" Elder Qiao asked, sweating profusely.

Long Chen, though slightly surprised, remained calm. This was somewhat expected.

He didn’t anticipate Xiao Qiao to have such a strong personality!

Then Long Chen cupped his hands and said:

"Do not worry, Elder Qiao, I will handle this!"

To be honest, Xiao Qiao is just a young woman, how far can she run?

Within the vicinity of the Qiao family estate, Long Chen had stationed his secret Jinyiwei and Tiger Guards.

Finding Xiao Qiao was a simple task for Long Chen.

What mattered to him was how to win Xiao Qiao’s favor and reach a level of 90 or above.

Otherwise, the tempting reward would be incomplete.

As the saying goes: You may capture my body, but you will never capture my heart.

He had just checked,

Xiao Qiao’s favorability was at 23,

While Da Qiao’s favorability was at 56.

Comparing the two, Da Qiao, the obedient one, was easier to win over.

Following the principle of tackling them one by one, Long Chen decided to deal with Da Qiao, the "soft target," first.

Then he would address Xiao Qiao, the "tough nut."

Tonight’s moonlight was beautiful; it was a perfect opportunity!
