Bend Over [ 折腰 ] - Chapter 92

[Chapter 91 18]

Later, the entourage sent to explore the way returned, and the ferry was frozen and stopped.

A local person who was familiar with the course of the Great River knew that there was a narrow part of the river channel, and it was so cold that it could be frozen for a few days before walking on it. When the time comes, I will lead you across the river.

That night, Wei Shao took Xiao Qiao away from Wuchao Ancient Ferry and traveled dozens of miles to stay in the post house, waiting for the ice layer to be thick enough to cross the river.

In this area, relying on the capital of Luoyang, it is difficult for the local assassin history to sit on the throne, and it is still under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. Yi Cheng Feng Wen Youzhou Wei Shao came here with his inner family to stop for a while and did his best to greet him.

Since Wei Shao personally led the army at the age of seventeen, resisted the Xiongnu, pacified the border, and then conquered the east and the west, attacked the city and plundered the land, it can be said that he was almost exhausted day by day, and even in his sleep, he was accustomed to placing a sword under the pillow, and there was never a moment of real relaxation.

Today, when the ferry port was blocked, wei Shao could be said to be truly more comfortable than ever in the next few days of waiting. It is cold outside the house, and the spring in the room is melting. The woman of the heart is at hand. He didn’t think about it anymore, it was all left behind. Only holding little Joe upside down phoenix, day and night, extremely happy for men and women.

In ancient times, there were merchants and you kings, all of whom perished because their spoiled daughters did not ask about state affairs and were absurd. Wei Shao was disdainful and thought that he was a dimwit. But he did not expect that today he was also obsessed with women, so that Lei Yan Jia Kai did not see the prince for three days, and on the fourth day, because there was news coming, he went to see him, but he was told that the prince had taken the lady to travel in the morning, and he had gone to enjoy the snow, and he did not say when he would be able to return to the caravanserai, and his heart was also very rare.

Alack! Alack! For Wei Hou, it had never been seen before!

……

After a few days of Hu Tianhu’s life, early this morning, Wei Shao suddenly became interested, thinking of the Yellow River area, the wind and things have been majestic since ancient times, although he had been there before, he only hurried past every time, never stopping to admire. There was neither interest nor leisure. Now that she is blocked here and is not allowed to cross the river, and there are beautiful people around her, why not take her out to enjoy the scenery, it is not a vain trip.

He’s a man who comes and goes. Excited to go together, I immediately want to take her on a trip.

The door that he had locked in his room the other day and hadn’t gone out half a step. Wei Shao was like a roe deer, although Xiao Qiao was also gentle to cater to, but his body was delicate after all, and he was gradually a little overwhelmed by his demand day and night, and he was worried, and he finally threw his interest outside in the morning, and he was very happy, and there was no reason why he should not.

Chunniang wrapped her from head to toe, wrapped tightly, covered with an apricot brocade with a hat, and was quietly taken out of the back door of the post house by Wei Shao in the morning, and the two of them shared a horse and released their horses along the river.

Although the snow was clear that day, the wind was calling, and the cold was even worse than in the previous days. Xiao Qiao rode with him, shrinking into his warm arms, Wei Shao wrapped her in another layer with his own snow, only a pair of eyes were exposed, and Xiao Qiao did not feel cold at all.

After being locked up for several days, she finally came out to let the wind blow, and she was also in a somewhat excited mood. Along the way, while enjoying the scenery, I laughed and laughed with him. Unconsciously, I arrived at the bottom of a steep hill. The two men stopped. Wei Shao took Xiao Qiao’s hand, led her to stop and go, climbed to the top of the slope, and finally stood side by side on a stone platform, looking out in all directions.

Two green and white river bank ice lines at the foot of the river, from west to east, meander and magnificently. In the past, the mighty river was frozen for thousands of miles, and the ice on the surface of the river reflected the rising sun, like a crystal flat land. There are also undulating terrain on both sides of the strait, and the snowfields are reckless. At the end of the line of sight, the white hills, the peaks and shadows are like dragons swimming.

Standing between such a heaven and earth, people only feel that they are far away, and between Xiao Qiao’s trance, a feeling of smallness arises in his heart. Sighing in his heart, Wei Shao suddenly raised his arm, pointed to the west, and said, “You see, that is the direction of Luoyang, this back and forth, fast horse is not more than a few days.” Fortunately, the pigeon has occupied the magpie’s nest for many years. Ridiculous Yuan Ochre, known as a million soldiers and horses, I originally said that he is a character, it turned out that he did not have his name! Between the tones, it was all glaring.

Yuan Ochre had previously crusaded against Xingxun in the name of King Qin, and the two sides were deadlocked in Shuishui, and finally fought a big battle last month, but they were defeated by Xingxun, and Yuan Qi was seriously injured, and now he has returned to Qingzhou.

Xiao Qiao knew that Wei Shao was about to touch the scene, and this suddenly felt it. He followed the direction of his finger and looked at the Huanghuang Imperial Capital, which was not visible here.

The cold wind whistled at the top of the hill, and Xiao Qiao was a little unsteady, Wei Shao wrapped his hands around her shoulders, and suddenly said, “If this country and mountains of his day are owned by me, I will take Ru’s hand and share the dignity of ten thousand multiplications.”

Little Joe froze and raised his eyes to look at him.

Wei Shao did not look at her, and his gaze still fell in the direction of the imperial capital in the distance. Fang Cai’s words were like a heartless sentence that he casually uttered.

Little Joe smiled and didn’t say anything.

The wind at the top of the mountain was strong, and the two of them stood for a moment, and Wei Shao took her down the mountain. Ride together as you do, and slowly embark on the way home. When he was close to the inn, he saw Lei Yan standing at the intersection of Gu Pan in the distance, as if he was waiting for Wei Shao to return.

Lei Yan glanced at Wei Shao and hurried towards him. Wei Shao urged the horse to come closer to him, signaled him to wait a little, and sent Xiao Qiao into the inn himself, and then turned out.

“Lord, Yang Xin has news coming.”

Lei Yan waited for him to come out and went forward to say, “Two days ago, Xue Tai’s soldiers and horses were lured into a valley in Mangshan by the head of the displaced people, and they were attacked by fire before and after, the soldiers and horses were chaotic first, and the two sides then fought, and the green-eyed single-handedly advanced into Xue Tai’s position, and the courage was unstoppable, Xue Tai was shocked by him, and an arrow hit his throat and died on the spot.” Wei Shao’s

eyes were slightly surprised, and he groaned for a moment, asking, “What is the situation over there now?”

Lei Yan said, “Xue Tai died before the battle, and now Lingbi has all fallen into the hands of the displaced people, and his power has greatly increased.” Xuzhou chaos. Xue Taishang had two sons, and he hung a white banner at the head of Xuzhou City, vowing to take revenge on the green-eyed head. It is expected that there will be a fierce battle next. “Where is

Yang Xin now?”

“Marquis Yu, Yang Xin originally led the army to help according to the words of the prince. The case has been withdrawn. Waiting for the prince to show him. Wei Shao was

silent, as if he had fallen into contemplation.

Lei Yan couldn’t wait for his response for a long time, remembering the scene when he met Green Eyes outside Hujiazhuang that day and almost lost his hand. Although it has been several days since the incident, I still have palpitations when I think about it at this moment. He couldn’t help but say, “Lord, although this green eye is only a first-class people’s head, it is really not to be underestimated, and even Xue Tai has died at his hands.” If it is not used by the Lord in the future, it will be a disaster. It’s good to be in touch with the lord. If you invite it to vote, it is not a two-pronged approach. Wei Shao

said lightly, “I don’t have this kind of shirt.”

Lei Yan froze and immediately realized. I thought so.

Although that green eye killed Xue Tai, and now it also occupied the spirit wall, it was only a lowly displaced person after all. Even if the status and status of the Qiao family are weakened, if there is no hidden affection, it is absolutely impossible to marry the daughter to a displaced person. Not to mention what kind of identity the lord is, how can the head of the displaced people be connected with the lord?

Lei Yan knew that he had lost his word, and hurriedly asked for guilt: “The last general will lose his word, and the lord should not blame him.”

Wei Shao waved his hand, “No problem.” “Yanzhou

, is there any other news?”

He was distracted for a moment, as if remembering, and asked again.

Lei Yan said busily, “Yesterday I wanted to pay tribute to the Lord.” It was just that he had not been able to see the face of the lord, thinking that there was no big thing, so he delayed. On the Yanzhou side, it was indeed as Jia Kai said, Qiao Shishi’s wife, who fell ill a few months ago. When the lady returns this time, she should indeed visit the sick. The lady stayed in Dong county for three or four days, and then she joined the green eyes and went to Lingbi. The only anomaly is that in these days, the father of the empress dowager, Dongjun Taishou Qiaoping, posted notices at the four-square city gate to recruit talents and gentlemen in an eclectic manner, which is quite effective in imitating the ancient Meaning of the Horse Bone of the King of Yanzhao. The whole city is talking about it.

Wei Shao’s eyes moved slightly, and he furrowed his brows.

Thunder.After Yan Yu finished, he was silent, waiting for Wei Shao to speak.

“Pass on my letter to Yang Xin and tell him to guard against the head of the displaced people.” If Xue Tai’s son is invincible, if necessary, he will be restrained. Don’t let Xuzhou fall into the hands of that green-eyed! If he has something he can’t decide, come and sue me. Wei Shao

groaned for a moment, and finally said slowly.

……

Xiao Qiao returned to the room, took off the tight and solid clothes wrapped around him, inserted a plum that Wei Shao had folded from the side of the road into the bottle, offered it with clean water, admired it for a moment, and then sat with Chunniang in the hearth, roasting chestnuts into the fire while gossiping.

Gradually, with the slight crackling sound of the chestnut shell bursting one after another, a faint sweet fragrance slowly drifted out of the air, mixed with a dark fragrance of lamei, refreshing the spleen.

“I don’t know what happened to the spirit wall.” Chunniang used her pliers to clip out the chestnuts, and when it was slightly cool, she peeled off the grains of Huang Chengcheng’s flesh, put them on the plate, fed Xiao Qiao one, and said, “It has been delayed for a few days here, and I don’t know when I can get on the road.”

Little Joe slowly chewed on the sweet chestnut flesh, and when he was out of his mind, he overheard footsteps outside the door.

Chun Niang looked back, saw that Wei Shao had come in without hurry, got up busily, smiled and greeted him, and then withdrew.

Wei Shao went behind Xiao Qiao, wrapped his arms around her waist, took a sip of incense, and said, “What did Fang Cai and ChunNiang say?”

Little Joe turned his head, saw him smiling, leaned over and looked over behind him, and smiled: “Nothing else.” Just talking about Lingbi my brother-in-law and sister-in-law. I don’t know what the situation is. Some concerns.

Wei Shao glanced at her. Shunshi sat down beside her, reached out and picked her up, and sat down on his lap.

The two looked at each other.

Wei Shao stared at her. But he doesn’t speak.

Little Joe intuitively felt that he was abnormal. Seeing him, his two eyes kept falling on his face. Subconsciously, he raised his hand, touched his cheek, and smiled: “What do you think I do?” Could it be that I have flowers painted on my face?

Wei Shaofang smiled and said unhurriedly, “I have good news for you.” Or reassure you. Two days before Fang, the head of the displaced people fought with Xue Tai at Mangshan, and Xue Tai was killed in the battle. The head of the displaced people had already occupied the entire territory of the Spirit Wall.

Xiao Qiao was overjoyed, his eyes lit up, he shouted with joy, and his hands immediately climbed on Wei Shao’s shoulders and straightened up from his knees: “Is what Fu Jun said true?” She was

too excited to be wary of such a moment, and Wei Shao was thrown down on the bed by her.

“Is what the husband said true?” Didn’t lie to me? Little Joe asked again.

In the past few days, although she had never inquired about Lingbi’s battle situation in front of Wei Shao, she was always worried in her heart. Although he also knew that Bi Yan was good at fighting, the difference between his and Xue Tai’s troop strength was really too great. This time, Xue Tai came to suppress the situation, intending to completely strangle him, there were too many variables, and she really did not dare to judge the result.

But I didn’t expect that instead of winning, the battle results would be such a great victory! How to make her not overjoyed?

Wei Shao was pressed to the ground by Xiao Qiao, looking up at Xiao Qiao’s beautiful eyes that suddenly became joyful at hand, suppressing a strange feeling that slowly gushed out in his heart, raising his hand to stroke her hair, and smiling slightly at her: “Seriously.” ”
