皖城。254Please respect copyright.PENANAALnHcvM97g
254Please respect copyright.PENANABeqPW2Fl1O
廬江郡當下的郡治,位於原郡治舒城的西南方。依江而建,湖水環繞,是個佔據水利,漁獲甚豐的縣城,是個能養活人之地。254Please respect copyright.PENANA7IUSUJv7H0
254Please respect copyright.PENANAf1bYUsltZE
但亦僅止於此。254Please respect copyright.PENANAZn1m3yshAQ
254Please respect copyright.PENANAisGHHqKHMM
和舒城相比,皖城不單城牆單薄,而城池本身就是遷就周圍的湖川丘陵而建。作為一座城,除了養活住民之外,還需要擁有抵禦外敵及出兵進攻的功用,而這些,正是皖城所欠缺的。她之所以能取代飽受創傷的舒城,只因一個優勢——鄰近長江。254Please respect copyright.PENANA5Z38jLrHMa
254Please respect copyright.PENANAzdb2Ewj7H3
長江對岸,是孫家的大本營。254Please respect copyright.PENANAaBWAmMIw6P
254Please respect copyright.PENANAUw6vNNMfbt
所以廬江郡的郡治所屬,看的不是廬江本身,而是她受何人支配。當她仍是漢郡時,她的郡治就需要肩負鎮守長江,以防長江南岸的蠻夷亂賊走入中原的防務,而當她被孫家納入懷裡後,就變成一個覬覦中原的刀尖,負責源源不絕地運送江東精兵的港口。254Please respect copyright.PENANACpNWgM3WbU
254Please respect copyright.PENANAPpSMP6QbMk
奇怪的是,這個當下屬於孫家勢力的郡治,卻籠罩著肅殺之氣,從各方而來的兵馬,都集結於此。254Please respect copyright.PENANAoiIJ9GAzCT
254Please respect copyright.PENANAuR2Jx50WMy
而且為了不讓風聲外傳,皖城內三軍戒嚴。254Please respect copyright.PENANAW8RUzKGstD

喬家。254Please respect copyright.PENANAGwWfeeTAvt
重門深鎖的喬家。254Please respect copyright.PENANALutepJ5scw
254Please respect copyright.PENANA4NmVGQ6z0z
但再深鎖的私宅,都禁不住官兵的衝擊。254Please respect copyright.PENANA6xW7pliKrv
254Please respect copyright.PENANA0cKVZwxLQZ
「開門!例行檢查!」254Please respect copyright.PENANAPVCpzDKV3s
254Please respect copyright.PENANA52fmMxHPhz
「來了來了,不用喊打喊殺的。」一名四十歲左右,眉清目秀英俊非凡的男人打開深鎖的大門,除了每三天就會見一次的軍官外,還有另一位熟人在,難怪那軍官會叫喊得特別有勁。那中年美男詫異道:「哎喲,怎麼連太守大人都來了?」254Please respect copyright.PENANABWHL0inw7M
254Please respect copyright.PENANAUHWY0B1tQW
「喬兄,久未拜訪,別來無恙吧?」廬江太守沒望過他口中的喬兄一眼,就已逕自走入喬宅,並神情嚴肅地左顧右盼:「這麼大的宅邸,只有你一個人住,是否太空虛了?」254Please respect copyright.PENANAxwaTVlO8yr
254Please respect copyright.PENANAdI1HLSRXDs
「唉,有甚麼辦法,兩個女兒都被搶走了,只剩下我一個孤伶伶守著這個家。」喬父拭了拭乾燥的眼角。254Please respect copyright.PENANANzRttB79Fk
254Please respect copyright.PENANAJKqaQqddEk
「呵呵,可是本官聽你鄰居說,這兩天聽到有女人的聲音從你家大宅傳出啊?」太守發出男人在談女人時才會發出的獨特怪笑,並豎起了尾指道:「喬兄是不是……?」254Please respect copyright.PENANAlcJJI1r1Yc
254Please respect copyright.PENANALyB7jXgR4E
「喬某仍愛著亡妻。」喬父凜然地道:「我絕不可能帶外面的女人回家,那一定是鄰居聽錯。」254Please respect copyright.PENANAaIIfBHiDDd
254Please respect copyright.PENANAgmJP3HPxuV
「那如果,不是外面的女人呢?」太守終於看了喬父一眼,那一眼滿是試探與警戒。254Please respect copyright.PENANADUmZVCmcZo
254Please respect copyright.PENANAVJ3fKRBiph
「對喬某來說,不是外面的女人就只有三個,她們隨便哪一個回家,我都求之不得,那怕不是以人的姿態回來!」喬父本來只是微微顫抖,卻越說越激動,眼淚亦從乾燥的眼角噴湧而出。254Please respect copyright.PENANAwx5TZPHVio
254Please respect copyright.PENANAQpsB9GUxqj
太守卻反倒因而平靜了下來,輕拍喬父的肩頭,然後假惺惺地安慰道:「抱歉,本官沒想到喬兄如此情深,方才失言,還請見諒。」太守負手腰後,續道:「畢竟大事將成,本官不想有任何差池。」254Please respect copyright.PENANA7eH4lLw4fp
254Please respect copyright.PENANA4Bnu7QTpVh
「喬某明白,畢竟整個皖城與孫家關係最密切的,就是喬家。但誰又能想到,天下間最痛恨孫家的人,正是喬某這孫家岳丈!」喬父咬牙:「大人你放心吧,我是絕不可能向孫家通風報信的!更何況當下皖城守衛如此森嚴,莫說要走出去,連想進城都難如登天。」254Please respect copyright.PENANAcrcdyRBOkW
254Please respect copyright.PENANA2atqveovJB
「雖然本官並不恨孫家,不過此刻我們都是同一陣線。」太守放下心來,向大門走去。254Please respect copyright.PENANAa8SsOjbJC0
254Please respect copyright.PENANAZlEzdswcRQ
喬父作揖道:「願李術大人武運方昌!」254Please respect copyright.PENANAjH2yQ5z7tt
254Please respect copyright.PENANAuDCFa7xTok
李術沒有回頭,只是舉了舉手示意,然後便在軍隊圍繞下,向著另一戶可疑人家前進。254Please respect copyright.PENANA8EGO4OHTid
