Bend Over [ 折腰 ] - Chapter 45

[Chapter 45]

(Previous life)

In Wei Shao’s expectation, Zheng Yong was originally just a trivial matter. Compared with the countless wars he has experienced since he started to personally take charge of the military at the age of seventeen, this goal is like walking on the ground.

He expects the fighting to be over in at least three months.

Unexpectedly, after winning the first two small battles, the Empress Liu Yan was also forced to retreat from Yongdu to the west to flee to Fufeng, and suddenly a man who was able to fight well and had great commanding ability appeared under his seat. the general. This man was the same age as him, and he was born with an unusual green pupil. He was originally a refugee in the south, and Wei Shao had heard of this person before. It’s just that he didn’t take this person to heart at the time. He envisaged that after conquering Yongdu, he would go south to completely clean up the remnants of the Refugee Commander.

It was this green eye who was named King of Huaiyin by Liu Yan, who caused a huge obstacle to his path to defeat Yong. After the setback, it was a severe winter, and it was difficult for the sergeants to survive the winter. After consideration, Wei Shao decided to temporarily retreat and return to Luoyang, and wait for the spring to warm before launching the expedition.

When he returned to Luoyang, he learned that Qiao Nu had swallowed gold and committed suicide the day after he left Luoyang.

Although the news came a little suddenly, to be honest, he was not very surprised. With Qiao Nu’s half-dead appearance, it is not impossible for her to commit suicide.

It was even less likely that he was saddened by the news of her death.

What surprised him was that Su Ehuang had already made the decision on his behalf to bury Nv Qiao outside the Wei family’s mausoleum.

This made Wei Shao unhappy. Not out of pity for Joe. If he was allowed to make his own decisions, he would not necessarily let Qiao Nv sleep with him.

But in any case, Qiao Nu was his grandmother’s first wife. Now that Qiao Nv died, Su Ehuang made this decision without his consent. This made him feel an offended displeasure. Not only to offend myself, but to offend my grandmother who died years ago.

Emperor Su E should have noticed his displeasure. On the dragon bed that night, he did his best to serve.

Wei Shao hadn’t touched a woman for months. There was also a need for relief. But tonight, maybe it was because the previous war was not going well, or maybe it was because of unhappiness in his heart. Emperor Su E’s provocation did not make him emotional. He was a little disinterested. When she went down and wanted to please him with her mouth, she stopped her. , and asked her to bury Qiao Nv without permission.

Su Ehuang was very frightened, and immediately got down on the bed and knelt down naked, begging his forgiveness.

She said that such a thing should have been left to His Majesty’s return to deal with it. It’s just that His Majesty entrusted the matter of the harem to himself. Qiao’s daughter was originally the daughter of the enemy’s family, and she chose to swallow gold to commit suicide on the next day of His Majesty’s Zhengyong. It was unlucky, and her intentions were even more ulterior. She was so indignant at the time that she ordered someone to be buried without thinking much. Now that I think about it, I regret it. If you offend Your Majesty, and His Majesty also thinks it’s inappropriate, please bury Qiao Nu in a hole, and accept the punishment from His Majesty willingly.

Su Ehuang’s explanation sounded flawless and reasonable. She burst into tears when she finished.

Wei Shao looked at Su Ehuang who was kneeling at his feet and weeping, a trace of irritability, even boredom, welled up in his heart. But in the end he didn’t say anything. fell silent.

Su Ehuang slowly wiped away her tears, walked back to his side on her knees, lowered her head, and slowly leaned towards the root of his thigh.

” I

can make you your queen as you wish.” After finishing the

matter, Wei Shao closed his eyes and said to Su Ehuang, who was still leaning beside him.

“Goguryeo’s newly-presented princess, and today’s great minister is also up, saying that I should expand the harem. In addition to the Goguryeo princess, there are eight other women, all of whom are presenting gifts for each place.”

“I have accepted it.”

He continued. . The sound is calm.

…

These kinds of past events after the death of Qiao’s daughter in her previous life are naturally unknown to Xiao Qiao today.

She also did not know that after eight years in the previous life, the founding emperor Wei Shao, who completely unified the whole territory, moved the royal court fought by the Huns, and incorporated the vast fields and thousands of miles into the territory of Dayan, just as he was ambitious and ambitious was preparing to launch an army to conquer the Western Regions again. At that time, the Baling barbaric land in the south, the only green-eyed man who could be called an opponent he had ever encountered on the battlefield in his life, once again started a rebellion. Only then did the emperor know that Green Eye was not dead back then. He was furious, and despite the dissuasion, he personally went south to quell the rebellion.

In a place called Homecoming, during a battle, the emperor was accidentally killed by a stray arrow that fell from the sky.

Died thirty-nine years.

Wei Shao died suddenly in his prime, and the Dayan Empire, which had existed for only eight years, vanished into ashes. The Xiongnu made a comeback, the land of the Central Plains was once again torn apart, the tyrants from all over the country were once again separated from each other, and the people were once again caught in the pain of military chaos. The situation has regressed, as it was ten years ago.

…

When Xiao Qiao saw Madam Xu finished speaking, she looked at herself with a happy smile.

“That’s great. Looking forward to my husband returning home soon,” she said.

Madam Xu nodded with a smile.

Mrs. Zhu looked at Xiao Qiao, her expression full of smiles slowly became stiff again.

Xiao Qiao’s simple words touched the nerve in Mrs. Zhu’s heart.

When Nv Qiao first came to Wei Mansion, she thought her son would hate her as much as she did. Unexpectedly, the son not only shared the room with her, but also seemed to be quite protective of her.

She is Wei Shao’s mother and gave birth to this son. Although there are many parts of her son’s body that she can’t see clearly or understand, she, as a mother, can still see if her son likes something.

The son successfully took Jinyang and can return home soon, which is naturally a great good thing. However, when she thinks of her son’s return, she will inevitably give this Qiao girl another opportunity. Even if her son is only confused by her appearance, and only treats her as a thing, she still has a drill in her heart. Stop drilling.

In fact, for Mrs. Zhu, apart from her niece Zheng Shu, there will be no second woman in this world who is qualified to be her son’s wife.

Except for Zheng Shu, any other woman wants to take her son from her.

What’s more, this Qiao girl came from the enemy Qiao’s family.

She stared at Xiao Qiao’s smile with a slightly sharp gaze, a little lost.

“I also received another message here,” Mrs. Xu smiled again. “There will be people coming from your mother’s house in a few days, including your brother.”

…

Xue Tai retreated from the army, and Yanzhou was lucky. Escaped again. Zhang Pu and others set up a strategy for Qiao Yue, and asked him to take this opportunity to send an envoy to Yuyang, firstly to thank him, and secondly, to take the opportunity to bring the two closer together. Joe is more convinced. Select the messenger now. Qiao Ci heard the news and asked to go together. Qiao Ping knew that his son should miss Xiao Qiao, thinking that since his daughter had joined the Wei family, no matter how unwilling he was in the past, it was a final decision. What’s more, Wei Shao has indeed made great efforts in this trouble in Yanzhou. If he can really take this opportunity to repair the relationship, it will be considered a misfortune and a blessing in disguise. Therefore, he did not stop him, and only told his son a lot of words before leaving.

Qiao Ci agreed, and when the day of departure came, along with the messenger and his party with heavy gifts, they set off, and now they are on their way to Yuyang.

…

Brother Qiao Ci is coming here to see himself!

The news made Joe very happy.

It has been almost half a year since she arrived in the north, and she misses her family very much. In the bottom of my heart, I also remember the two big Joe Bishe, who still don’t know where they are. When he sent them away, Da Qiao had promised that if he settled down in the future, if there was a chance, he would send her a letter.

She has been waiting for their letter.

Besides, she has something else to say to her father now. Originally written. Now that my brother is coming, I can just ask him to bring the letter back.

…

This unexpected good news dispelled the little shadow left in Xiao Qiao’s heart because of the trip to Zhongshan. She looks forward to seeing her younger brother Qiao Ci sooner than later.

Half a month later, before Qiao Ci and his party arrived, Wei Shao came back first.

…

The victory of Jinyang made Wei Shao’s military strength increase rapidly. The army was expanded to 300,000 horses. In addition to the 100,000 horses who stayed in Jinyang, the rest were stationed in Fanyang and Xindu, and another 100,000 followed him back to Yuyang.

On that day, Yuyang City was like a festival, the city gates were wide open, and the people lined the streets to welcome the return of the prince.

The main force of Wei Shao’s army stayed in the camp outside the four gates, and he only led a 2,000-strong personal army into the city. The pro-militaries were always in clear armor, and their steps were neat. When they entered through the city gate, the people were very excited, and the voices of “Junhou Return” and “War will win” came one after another, even Xiao Qiao, who was in the high wall of the Wei House, could Hear it clearly.

Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Zhu had come to the gate early to greet them.

Xiao Qiao stood quietly behind Zhu Shi, his eyes turned to the wide sidewalk outside the gate.

Gradually, she saw that a group of people on horseback finally appeared in the distance.

The figure is getting clearer.

The person at the front was Wei Shao who had been out for four months.

Madam Xu finally couldn’t restrain her joy, she couldn’t help but quickly walked forward and went down the steps.

When Wei Shao saw his grandmother, he hurriedly hurried the horse to come. Before he could get close, the man turned over and got off the horse. He strode to the front and knelt down on one knee in front of Mrs. Xu, saying, “Grandson Fortunately, I lived up to my grandmother’s expectations, and I won today! Let my grandmother worry about it!”

Madam Xu hurriedly helped him up from the ground.

Li Dian, Wei Liang, and others who accompanied Wei Shao also arrived, dismounted one after another, and stepped forward to thank Mrs. Xu.

Madam Xu laughed loudly and said, “I want to thank you loyal ministers and good generals on behalf of my late husband! If it wasn’t for everyone’s support and only relying on my Wei family, how could I have the grand occasion of my Youzhou today? The banquet, even if you let go of your mind today, you won’t go home if you don’t get drunk!” The

crowd applauded loudly, laughing loudly.

Wei Shao was held by Mrs. Zhu and asked a question. He answered a few words, and then his eyes went over Mrs. Zhu’s head and looked at Xiao Qiao who was standing behind Mrs. Zhu.

Xiao Qiao smiled at him when he saw him looking at him.

…

Wei Shao was still wearing battle armor. Moreover, in the war in the army, the men rolled in the pile for four months, and it was inevitable that they would neglect to clean up. The first thing to do after returning home is to wash and change clothes.

The servants and maids of the Westinghouse were all lined up at the door to greet him. Wei Shao entered, and everyone followed in to serve.

Just now in front of Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Zhu, it was fine. As soon as he entered the room, Wei Shao’s eyes were fixed on Xiao Qiao’s face.

Being stared at him like this, Xiao Qiao inevitably felt a little embarrassed. Moreover, the two have only been married for half a year, and the time together has hardly been more than half of the time apart.

He had only just gotten to know him a little, and a few months had passed in between. Now he suddenly stood back in front of him, and his beard was drooping again, which made Xiao Qiao feel a little strange again.

It’s just that he wanted to look at him like this, so she didn’t want to tell him not to, so she lowered her head slightly, stared at his chest with her eyes flat, and raised her hand to help him undress.

“You all go out.”

Wei Shao said suddenly.

Chunniang and the servants in the house looked at each other, immediately put down the work in her hand, and filed out.

Chunniang was the last to go out, and when she closed the door, she glanced at Xiao Qiao.

The meaning in Chunniang’s eyes, Xiao Qiao saw it, was to let her coax the man who had just returned home to be happy.

Xiao Qiao suddenly panicked, and it was difficult to tell Chunniang to stay, and watched her disappear behind the door, which was also closed.

Xiao Qiao’s expression became more serious involuntarily, and continued to help him untie his battle clothes.

A lock on his waist seemed to be a little stuck, and she couldn’t open it no matter what.

His hands have been fiddling around his waist, but he couldn’t undo it. Xiao Qiao had nothing to do, and felt that he was watching him all the time, so he was even more nervous. In addition, it was summer, and the weather was getting warmer, even the tip of his nose was oozing out. The thin beads of sweat had no choice. Just as he was about to raise his head to ask him for help, the back of his hand sank, and one of his hands pressed up, completely covering hers.

“A while ago, did you miss me?”

Xiao Qiao’s ears warmed.

Wei Shao lowered his head, leaned over and asked her in a whisper. While squeezing her hand gently.

Because of the use of swords all the year round, his palms were a bit rough and calloused, kneading her weak and boneless hand. An ambiguous breath emerged.

Xiao Qiao felt that her face was also getting hot.

Wei Shao was teasing himself. At this point, even her sluggish feeling was aware of it.

She hesitated for a while, finally raised her eyes, looked at him and said softly: “There are many people waiting for you outside! Let Chunniang and the others come in, and quickly serve you and wash up-”

“Did you miss me? Huh?” he repeated, interrupting her. He suddenly increased his strength and squeezed her hand heavily. The force even made her feel a little pain. His face was also pressed closer, and the two cheeks rubbed together. He seemed to be doing it on purpose, she could feel the pain, numbness and itching of his beard stabbing her.
