Bend Over [ 折腰 ] - Chapter 83

[Chapter 82]

On the same day, Qiao Ping took action.

He first negotiated with his staff, and the staff first privately met some of the Qiao family’s generals. Yanzhou soldiers and horses, listen to Qiao Ping’s dispatch. Nothing is not allowed.

Qiao Ping then met Qiao Yue alone in the past, and put forward a suggestion to take precautions and strengthen Yanzhou’s troops.

Qiao Yue was not very interested in this at first. Qiao Ping talked with him for a long time and analyzed the current situation with him.

Qiao Yue came from a family of warlords, and he personally led troops to fight when he was young. When he was swayed by Qiao Ping’s persuasion, more than a dozen generals and officials poured into the hall, all kneeling on the ground, crying in unison, and exhorting in unison. Under the crowd, Qiao Yue had no choice but to nod and entrust the matter to Qiao Ping. Qiao Ping then called the Qiao family generals to discuss matters, and the candles in the lobby were brightly lit, and it was not extinguished in the middle of the night.

Adi Qiaoci also went to the meeting. Haven’t come back to rest yet.

Xiao Qiao was lying on the bed, her heart was up and down, and she couldn’t calm down for a long time.

She thought about all kinds of things in her past life in her memory, thinking about Bi She and Da Qiao in this life, and thinking about her father finally starting to act.

Since Mrs. Xu’s fate can be changed, as long as the Qiao family takes action, at least, it should not be the result of sitting still in the future.

She felt more and more that it was very necessary for her to come back this time.

Her father finally accepted her persuasion and started to act.

Xiao Qiao’s mind was very excited, thinking about this and that. I thought about a lot of things. Until late at night, I gradually felt tired. Before she was about to fall asleep, a man’s face suddenly popped out of her mind.

It seems to be Wei Shao’s face… He seems to be returning soon…

Xiao Qiao also remembered that on the morning when he sent him to the expedition a few months ago, he promised Mrs. Xu that he would send him to the expedition in the future. He’s back…

Now that she’s in Yanzhou, no matter how hard she tries, she won’t be able to go back.

She broke her promise so soon…

Xiao Qiao suddenly felt ashamed. To Mrs. Xu.

Let’s do it next time, start next time, she will definitely do it. For the sake of Mrs. Xu…

I was really sleepy. As soon as Xiao Qiao closed her eyes, she fell asleep.

…

Wei Shao said in his letter to Madam Xu last time that he would return to Yuyang at the end of this month.

In fact, he arrived ten days early.

The triumphant army was still behind him, returning home at a speed of 100 miles a day. The troops are divided into two groups.

All the way to Jinyang to spend this winter. By the spring of next year, Wei Shao himself will go to Jinyang to join the army.

The other way, follow him back to Youzhou.

But when the army marched to Gaoyang, Wei Shao handed over the routine of the march to the general, left the brigade by himself, brought a small team of light cavalry, and returned to Yuyang first.

He arrived early.

On the day he arrived in Yuyang, it just snowed in the morning, and it was already midnight. The snow piled up on the ground, deep below the horse’s hoofs.

The guards at the south gate heard the knock on the door, and someone under the gate shouted “Junhou return”.

The guard thought he had heard it wrong.

Just during the day, the captain of the city gate also said that the triumphant army would arrive before the end of the month at the earliest, so that they should always be vigilant. Before the return of the prince, the city defense must not make any mistakes.

But now, in this heavy snow day in the middle of the night, someone was calling for Junhou to return outside the city gate.

The guard rushed to the top of the city to overlook. By the light of the roaring torches, I saw more than a dozen war horses parked on the snow outside the city gate. They are all Dawan high-headed horses that can travel hundreds of miles a day. But at this moment, these war horses seemed to be exhausted from running, constantly flapping their tails, and making heavy sniffs one after another.

In the heavy snow, the guards looked at the man sitting on the front of the horse.

He was wearing a battle armor, with a thin layer of snow on the top of his head and the shoulders of the battle robe.

He raised his head slightly, and the guard saw a layer of frost and snow falling on his two sword eyebrows. Under the eyebrows is a handsome and young face.

“Your Majesty is back!” the

guards shouted in surprise, rushing down the city head.

After a while, the two doors slowly opened to the left and right with a heavy creaking sound.

With the frost and snow all over his body, Wei Shao galloped into the city gate and headed for the Wei Palace in the north of the city.

The doorman was awakened from his sleep by the sound of the door, and he opened the door. He was so surprised that he saluted and stared at the monarch who had not returned from the expedition for several months. the end of the corridor.

Wei Shao returned home without disturbing many servants. I didn’t want to wake up my grandmother or startle my mother at this o’clock.

He went straight to the Westinghouse. Opened the courtyard door.

The janitor who just got out of the hot quilt rubbed her eyes quiveringly, seeing that it was the man who had returned. He opened his mouth, and before he had time to say what the female gentleman was not here, the male gentleman had already strode in and walked all the way in, leaving a series of footprints on the ground behind him.

Wei Shao went straight into the inner courtyard.

It was dark in the courtyard. Trees, passages, steps, roofs, are covered with a layer of white.

It was quiet all around. In the night sky, the snow is still falling silently. A few pieces fell on his eyebrows and face, and were quickly melted away by his hot body temperature at the moment.

It was freezing cold. Wei Shao didn’t feel cold. Instead, he felt hot at the moment.

Perhaps the armor on his body was too heavy. He felt a hot flash of sweat on his back.

His steps were fast. I didn’t notice that the night lanterns hanging every few steps on the top of the corridor were all pitch black at the moment.

He climbed the steps a few steps and one step at a time, and finally stopped in front of the door. Raising his arm, he gently pushed the door tentatively.

She didn’t latch the door.

The door swung open.

The room was blacked out. There was also no fragrant warmth that Wei Shao should have imagined.

Wei Shao hesitated for a while, but continued to walk in. Finally he stopped by the bed. The figure froze.

The snow outside the window was dim, but it was enough for him to see what was in front of him.

The curtains were closed on both sides, and there were neatly folded quilts on the bed, but there was no one of her.

empty.

Wei Shao’s eyes widened a little, then he lay down again, stretched out his hand, and touched the empty and cold bed, then he straightened up suddenly, turned around and strode out, with heavy footsteps, reaching the door, closing the door. As soon as it was opened, the wind wrapped in snow and rushed over.

“Where are the people! Where did they go to me?”

He yelled at the empty courtyard.

Soon, the lights in the Westinghouse became bright.

Wei Shao lowered his head and took off his armor. Lin Nuo said cautiously beside her: “Mr. Chen, the lady left more than a month ago. It was said that she was going back to Dongjun to visit her aunt’s illness. At that time, the old lady agreed to it herself.”

“Who escorted her?”

Lin Li replied.

“Can you tell me when I will return?”

“This maid doesn’t know.”

“Where’s Chunniang?”

Wei Shao looked around at the maids and maids who were just in front of him, startled by his roar.

“Chunniang also returned with the lady,” Lin Li said.

Wei Shao frowned. As if in a trance for a moment, she flicked her hands, and said lightly, “Prepare the soup.”

Lin Li hurriedly responded. With a wink, he signaled everyone to leave the room and prepare to serve the gentleman taking a bath. He finally backed out.

She had already seen it, and suddenly the man who returned from the expedition in the middle of the night was in a bad mood. Guess it should be related to the female king Nangui. So what happened to the north house and east house a while ago, even if she borrowed ten courage from her, she would not dare to talk about it in front of the man.

…

Wei Shao came out of the bath room, not even wearing a coat, he was naked, and fell heavily on the bed on his back.

The firm fragrant wood bed was pressed down by the force when he fell, making a slight “creak” sound.

Wei Shao closed his eyes, feeling a deep sense of loss, and another burst of upset.

He remembered clearly that the night before his expedition, as soon as she heard the news that she was going to leave, her little face changed color on the spot, as if she was about to cry. He was overwhelmed, and even shook his shoulders and acted coquettishly at him, refusing to let him go.

He got up the next morning, and his legs were a little soft. I almost wanted to change coaches on the spot, let them go on an expedition to fight, and just stay and watch Youzhou.

Later, Gongsun Yang coughed as if he was about to vomit blood, which made him close his mouth dangerously.

The strategist has recently suffered from an old problem. The cough is so painful, and he insists on accompany the army.

He, a monarch with sound limbs, can’t stand the woman’s swaying shoulders a few times, if he is found out by his trilogy, what will happen to his face in the future?

So he came back the next night and rejected her decisively without looking at her plaintive eyes. It’s just that when he saw her lying in bed gloomy, he relented for a while, and leaned over to comfort her, but she turned around and pulled up the quilt to cover his head and gave him the back of his head.

It was the back of the head that made Wei Shao make up his mind. After some ideological struggle, he decided to go with the flow and stop coaxing her.

I can no longer be led by this woman by the nose. If it goes on like this, in case a big mistake is made one day.

King You played the feudal lords with beacon fires, just to win the laughter of beauties. Such a ridiculous drama almost happened to him.

It’s incredible to think about!

So for the next three or two days, the two of them passed by lukewarmly.

He didn’t touch her. I really didn’t even touch a finger.

Then he set off.

The dead were rolling in for another few months.

It’s back now.

The woman who originally begged him to stay and made him almost make a mistake is no longer there? Back to Qiao’s house in East County?

For a moment, an evil thought popped up in Wei Shao’s mind, and he wanted to destroy the damn Qiao family immediately.

Let her come back again!
