Bend Over [ 折腰 ] - Chapter 146

[Chapter 144]

The south window is half-open, and there is a breeze blowing through the beautiful plantains planted outside the window, and the green banana leaves like dripping oil make a slight rustling sound.

The house smelled of bitter medicine.

Xiao Qiao took the bowl from his father and put it aside to help him lie down.

Qiao Ping shook his head slightly.

“Could Yanhou not accept Yanzhou?” he asked.

“He’s gone.” Xiao Qiao said softly.

“It’s because of your father that dragged you down. I didn’t notice your uncle’s change in time before, which caused this disaster. This time, when he was angry and surrounded the city, I didn’t handle it properly.

” Yanzhou is just a dead place. Your great-grandfather was prehistoric, and Yanzhou is not owned by my Qiao family. Qiao’s ancestral home is Dongting, and the remains of our ancestors are buried in Dongting. Your grandfather died when you were young, and your father took you with you You and your mother returned to Dongting to guard the mausoleum for several years. The Xiaoxiang Dongting, the vast place of Chutian, is still in front of you. I have been struggling for half my life for my father and tedious chores. If I can let go of this matter, I will help your mother return to her soul and die in Dongting.”

Xiao Qiao stared at her father blankly.

“On that day, he brought troops and if I opened the door to welcome him, he might not have really embarrassed the soldiers and civilians in the city after he got angry. It’s just that I didn’t dare to take the risk. It’s not a pity for me to die, the generals and the people in my family shouldn’t be because of me, Qiao’s family. He was blamed for his sins…”

“Father, don’t blame yourself any more. Who is not Yao and Shun, who can do the best. Things have already happened, and self-blame is useless. What you should do now is to try your best to make up for it.”

Xiao Qiao Fu Qiao Ping Leaning on the head of the bed, he put a pillow behind him.

“I know that what my father can’t get through is General Wei Liang and the dozens of guards who suffered. The remains are all buried, and he has taken them away. When I go back, I will do my best to give sympathy to the sergeant’s family. I can’t see, it’s not suitable to walk, Adi will go to Luoyang to apologize to General Wei on behalf of his father.”

Qiao Ping raised his hand and groped, holding Xiao Qiao’s hands.

The sun is shining outside the window, and the wind is gentle.

Xiao Qiao’s fingertips were cold.

Qiao Ping held her daughter’s hand and sighed: “My son-in-law has taken anger on you now?”

Although his father could not see, Xiao Qiao still smiled.

Said: “Father, rest assured, he is not such a person. Although I did have a relationship with me this time, it was not because of the Yanzhou incident.”

She hesitated for a while, and said that Zhang Pu said that Qiao Yue was ready to serve. The thing about being killed by Wei Shao.

“He once promised me that he would not care about the old enemies of the Wei Qiao family in the future. I knew it was very difficult for him to let go of the past like this, but suddenly I learned that I had persuaded my father to try harder to guard against him. It’s human nature to want to have a relationship with me when you’re cold-hearted.”

She held her father’s hand tightly and said, “Father, please rest assured, everything will be fine for me. I just don’t trust my father…”

“Manman Don’t worry, go back as soon as possible.” Qiao Ping said, “I’m fine. Besides, your elder sister is back. With her here, it’s like you’re with me.”

…

Mrs. Ding was furious after the last incident. Qiao Yue was imprisoned and lived on cold water gruel every day.

When Qiao Ping took power, he took Mrs. Ding out.

Seeing Qiao Yue’s tragic death, Mrs. Ding shed tears even though she hated him for being ruthless and ruthless.

Yesterday, Da Qiao and Li’er were finally taken to Dongjun.

Mother and daughter have been apart for several years, but now they can meet.

Mrs. Ding slapped her daughter heavily at that time, and immediately took her into her arms with tears streaming down her face.

Bi She knelt down to her and was lifted up by Mrs. Ding’s hands.

The family was finally reunited.

Xiao Qiao was at the side at the time, and while she was relieved, her eyes were hot.

The tree has a cause in the past, and a consequence in return.

At least at this moment, the gathering of Mrs. Ding and Big Joe Bishe is worth rejoicing.

As if slowly drawing back strength, the mood that had been darkened for a long time, through the clouds and fog, finally revealed a corner of the sun.

Even just a corner of the sun is enough to support her thoughts and let her go back home and face the husband she married because of a long-term relationship in this life.

…

A few days later, Xiao Qiao arrived in Luoyang.

This is the first time she has set foot on the land of Luoyang.

The eight directions are broad, and Zhou Luo is the middle.

Luoshui boils, and Mangshan is swept away.

Thousands of years ago, the place where King Wu set Ding Ding, the capital of the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years.

Frequent wars and changing owners have not depressed this ancient capital. It is different from any other city and has been transformed into bone, blood, and skin due to a long history of thousands of years.

Even the wind blowing in the direction of the Luo River carried a hint of soft red fragrant earth.

Xiao Qiao approached all the way, entered from the east, and saw a lot of people along the way.

The only thing she could still find traces of the war was the gray-black collapsed ruin she saw across the Luo River when she passed the rumored Lotus Terrace far away.

She had never seen, not long ago, how tall Yuliang, Jin Yuzhenwei, stood on top of this ruin.

She also had no intention to focus on these matters, and the first thing she did in Luoyang, she brought Qiao Ci to Wei Liang.

When entering the city, Gongsun Yang sent someone to pick her up.

She learned a piece of news that seemed like gospel to her at this moment.

Just a few days ago, Wei Liang, who had been in a coma, finally woke up.

The one who rescued him was a wandering doctor who called himself Bai Shisou.

…

Qiao Ci hurried in, and when he reached Wei Liang’s couch, he knelt down on his knees without saying a word.

Wei Liang was a tough man, although he was still weak, he wanted to get up immediately to help him up.

Blocked by Joe.

Qiao Ci said embarrassedly: “General Wei, please accept my worship. At that time, my father personally came to apologize, but he was inconvenient to travel, so I came instead of my father. It was all because of my Qiao family’s fault that the general suffered a catastrophe of life and death. , killed 16 Yingshi in his peers. Even asking for slaughter is not enough to offset the responsibility of my Qiao family!” He

kowtowed deeply.

Wei Liang was startled and hurriedly said, “Young Master Qiao, get up quickly! How can I receive such a big gift from you! I wait for a warrior, and when I mount a horse, I will lift my head. I also know what happened in Yanzhou. It was caused by Liu Yan making troubles from China and deliberately alienating him. If I want to kill him, I will also kill him, and bring his head to pay homage to my dead brother! Get up quickly, and don’t apologize again in the future. Two words!”

Xiao Qiao was grateful, and bowed to Wei Liang in person, saying, “General Wei is righteous, please accept me. Even though General Wei said so, the Qiao family cannot escape the blame. Those sergeants who sacrificed innocently, etc. When I go back, I will make sure that my family can support the old and the young. I know this is far from offsetting the pain of my relatives, but it is the only remedy I can think of now. If there is another use in the future, the general will Sue me.”

Wei Liang was even more reluctant to accept the salute, and hurriedly gave way: “I will represent those brothers, I sincerely thank the lady! The lady quickly asks the son to get up, don’t beat me again!”

Qiao Ci got up and thanked Wei Liang. .

Wei Liang laughed and said: “If you don’t die, there will be good fortune. I am the fate of the future. Master Qiao thank me for what I did!

” Gan Yun didn’t show any bitterness at all, and his heart slowly settled down.

Wei Liang looked at Qiao Ci and said with a smile, “Young Master Qiao is more heroic than I saw last time. General Li still remembers Young Master Qiao’s heroic appearance at the Luli Conference, and he mentioned it to me a while ago. Since Young Master Qiao is here this time, remember to go and see him.”

Qiao Ci hurriedly promised to see Wei Liang talking for a while, although he seemed to be in good spirits, but his face was not bloody enough, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help him lie down. go down.

Xiao Qiao said, “After General Wei’s injury, I don’t know where to go?” Wei Liang said with a smile, “My lord allows me to return home to visit relatives. If there is no accident, I

will return to Liangzhou later.”

Do you agree?” Xiao Qiao said suddenly before leaving.

Wei Liang hurriedly said: “Miss, please tell me. As long as Wei can do what he can, there will be nothing wrong.”

Xiao Qiao looked at Qiao Ci, who was beside him, and said with a smile: “There are many families in Yanzhou who work together to protect them, and they have green eyes. The general should help, my brother is not necessary. I am afraid that he will be lazy at home, wasting his youth, and take the liberty to ask for the general. If you don’t think he is stupid, can you take him with you when you go back to Liangzhou next time? The experience under my command is a rare opportunity for my younger brother.”

Although Yanzhou has just experienced a drastic change of life and death, and now Qiao Ping is also blind, many families will work together to support and support, and there is Bi She by the side to support, Qiao Ci is No, it doesn’t affect the overall situation.

In Yanzhou, although Qiao Ci also experienced several wars with his father, the situation was limited after all. If you can go to a place like Liangzhou, Bingzhou, with a truly experienced warrior like Wei Liang, you will not only be able to establish a real relationship with Wei Liang and others, but it will also be of great benefit to Qiao Ci herself.

Qiao Ci didn’t expect that her sister suddenly made such an arrangement for herself. She was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly looked at Wei Liang.

Wei Liang was stunned for a moment, then he was about to nod his head, but he hesitated again.

Xiao Qiao smiled and said, “Where is Junhou, I’ll go and talk to him.”

Wei Liang laughed loudly and said: “To be honest with the lady, General Li had intended to leave Young Master Qiao before, but he never had the chance to speak. Now that the lady has handed over the son to me first, he can’t even think about arguing with me again. If your son is not afraid of the bitterness of the wind and sand in Xisai, I can’t ask for it!” The

son of Qiao Ci’s family grew up in Yanzhou, and he had long heard how brave the Qiang soldiers on the frontier of Liangzhou were, how sturdy the people were, and what the scene was like when soldiers were deployed in the battlefield. Magnificent, yearning for it, and never had the opportunity to visit in person before. Seeing Wei Liang agree, he was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed down to him again.

Xiao Qiao smiled and said, “So I’ll hand Adi over to the general, trouble the general, just beat him, don’t have any scruples, he’s rough-skinned and thick-skinned, and he can bear it.”
