Bend Over [ 折腰 ] - Chapter 146

[Chapter 144]

The south window is half open, and there is a breeze blowing through the beautiful cannabis planted outside the window, and the green dripping banana leaves emit a subtle wind sound.

The room was filled with a bitter medicinal smell.

Little Joe took the bowl from his father and set it aside to help him lie down.

Qiao Ping shook his head slightly.

“Does Yanhou not want to take Yanzhou?” he asked.

“He’s gone.” Little Joe said softly.

“It is for the Father to drag you down. In the past, I failed to detect your uncle’s strange movements in time, which caused this disaster, not to mention, this time when he attacked the city because of anger, I also mishandled it. “It is

not for the father to give up the name of the county. Yanzhou is just a dead land. Your great-grandfather is a thorn prehistoric, and Yanzhou is not owned by my Qiao family. The Qiao family’s ancestral home is Dongting, and the remains of the ancestors are buried in the caveting. When your grandfather died, when you were young, your father took you and your mother back to the cave for several years. Xiaoxiang Cave Garden, Chu Tian’s wide place, is still in front of you. I have been trapped for half a life for my father’s chores, and I once thought that one day you and Ci’er will start a family, and I can let go of this matter, and I will help your mother return to the spirit and live in the cave court for the rest of her life.

Little Joe looked at his father sheepishly.

“On that day, he led the troops, and if I opened the door to meet and surrender, after his anger passed, he might not really be embarrassed by the soldiers and civilians in the city.” But I didn’t dare to take the risk. It is not a pity that I will die, the generals of the family and the military, should not be jointly blamed for the sins of my Qiao family…”

“Father should no longer blame himself.” Man is not Yao Shun, who can be perfect. It’s already out, and self-blame is useless. What should be done now should be to try to make up for it.

Little Joe helped Qiao Ping lean on the head of the bed and put a pillow behind him.

“I know that what my father can’t get over in his heart is General Wei Liang and the dozen or so suffering contenders. His body was buried, and he had taken it with him. When I go back, I will do everything I can to provide a sympathy to the sergeant’s family. His father could not see and was not suitable for walking, and Adi would go to Luoyang on behalf of his father to ask the Wei general for jing.

Qiao Ping raised his hand to grope and grasped one of Xiao Qiao’s hands.

The sun is shining outside the window and the breeze is pleasant.

Little Joe’s fingertips were cold.

Qiao Ping shook his daughter’s hand and sighed, “Is the son-in-law angry with you now?”
Although
his father could not see it, little Joe was still smiling.

He said, “Father rest assured that he is not such a person. Although this time I did have some differences, it was not because of Yanzhou.

She hesitated slightly, and mentioned that Zhang Pu Tiqiao wanted to take effect and was killed by Wei Shao.

“He promised me that in the future, he would no longer think about the old feud between Wei Qiao and the two families. I knew that it was very difficult for him to let go of the past in this way, but suddenly I learned that I had advised my father to be strong in order to guard against him, and it was also common for people to have a cold heart and want to be separated from me.

She clasped her father’s hand tightly with her backhand and said, “Father, please rest assured, I will be all right.” I just don’t trust my father…”

“Pretty relieved, go back as soon as possible.” Qiao Ping said, “I’m fine. Besides, your sister has also returned. With her there, it’s like you’re with me. ”

……

After Mrs. Ding’s previous incident, she was imprisoned by the angry Qiao Yue, and only lived in cold water and porridge every day.

The first moment Qiao Ping took power, he took Lady Ding out.

Mrs. Ding saw that Qiao Yue was in a miserable state, although she hated him for being ruthless and unjust, after all, she married a couple, and shed tears at that time.

Yesterday, Big Joe took the carp and was finally picked up in the East County.

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

Mrs. Ding slapped her daughter hard at that time, and then took her into her arms, tears flowing down her face.

Bi Yan knelt down to her and was lifted up by Mrs. Ding with both hands.

The family was finally reunited.

Little Joe was beside him at the time, relieved, but also looking at the heat in his eyes.

The tree is caused by the cause, and the consequence is repaid.

At least for this moment, Mrs. Ding and Big Joebi’s reunion was something to be pleased with.

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

Even a corner of the sun is enough to support her thoughts, let her embark on the way home, and once again face the husband she married in this life.

……

A few days later, Xiao Qiao arrived in Luoyang.

This was the first time she had set foot on the land of Luoyang.

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

Luo water boiling, The mountain is boiling.

A thousand years ago, the land of king Wu Dingding, the capital of the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years.

Frequent wars and changes of ownership did not make this ancient capital depressed, it had a thick splendor that was transformed into bones and blood because of the long history of any other city.

Even the wind blowing in the direction of the Luo River also carried a hint of soft red incense.

Little Joe approached all the way, from the east, and what he saw along the way was full of people.

The only traces of war devastation that could still be found were the gray-black collapsed ruins she saw across the Luo River as she passed the rumored Lotus Terrace.

She had never seen it before, not long ago, above this ruin there was a tall jade beam, Jin Yu Zhenwei.

She also had no intention of focusing on these things, and the first thing she did when she entered Luoyang was to take Qiao Ci to Wei Liang’s face.

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

She learned a message that was like the gospel for her at this moment.

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

He was saved by a wandering healer who called himself Shiraishi Sorcerer.

……

Qiao Ci hurried in, reached Wei Liang’s bed, did not say a word, and knelt down on his knees.

Wei Liang was a tough man, and although his body was still weak, he immediately wanted to get up and lift him up.

Stopped by Little Joe.

Qiao Ci said ashamedly, “General Wei please accept my worship, my father personally came to ask for sin at that time, but he was inconvenient to travel, so I came on behalf of my father.” All because of the fault of my Qiao family, the general suffered a great catastrophe of life and death, and killed sixteen of his fellow soldiers. Even if it is to lead the neck to kill, it is not enough to offset the responsibility of my Joe family! Kowtow

deeply.

Wei Liang was shocked and said busily, “Qiao Gongzi hurry up!” How can I receive such a gift from you!” I wait for the warrior, and when I get on the horse, I am like lifting my head, either I kill people, or I am killed, and life and death have their own fate. Moreover, I also know about the Yanzhou incident this time, but Liu Yan did it from The WindWaves, caused by deliberate divisiveness. I will kill, and I will also be the culprit who killed him, and I will raise his head to pay tribute to my dead brother!” Hurry up, and don’t say the word sin again! Xiao Qiao was

grateful, and personally saluted Wei Liang at the side, saying, “General Wei Dayi, please accept my worship.” Despite General Wei’s words, the Qiao family could not escape the blame after all. Those innocent soldiers who sacrificed their lives, when I return, will make my family support the old and the small. I know that this is far from counteracting the pain of my relatives, but it is also the only remedy I can think of now. If there is any other use in the future, the general will sue me.

Wei Liang was even more unwilling to accept the courtesy, and hurriedly gave in, “On behalf of those brothers, I sincerely thank the lady!” The lady quickly told the prince to get up, don’t break me again!

Qiao Ci then got up and thanked Wei Liang.

Wei Liang laughed and said, “If you don’t die, there will be a blessing, I am the fate of the blessing, and Prince Qiao thanked me for doing even more!” Qiao Ci was

actually panicked in his heart at first, seeing that Wei Liang’s attitude towards himself was the same as before, arrogant and dry, without the slightest hint of mustard, and his heart slowly settled down.

Wei Liang looked at Qiao Ci and smiled, “Qiao Gongzi is more heroic than what I saw before.” General Li still remembers the heroic gesture of Qiao Gongzi at the Luli Assembly in the past, and mentioned it to me some time ago. Qiao Gongzi has come this time, remember to go and meet him. Qiao Ci was

busy making a promise, and when he saw Wei Liang talk for a while, although his spirit looked fine, the blood on his face was not enough, and he rushed forward to help him lie down.

Xiao Qiao said, “After General Wei was healed from his injuries, he didn’t know where he was going?”

Wei Liang smiled, “The lord allowed me to return to visit my relatives on leave, and if there were no accidents, I would then return to Liangzhou.”

“I have something to ask for, but I wonder if the general can answer?” Little Joe said suddenly before he resigned.

Wei Liang said busily, “Lady Jun, please speak.” As long as Wei Mou can do it, there will be nothing he should do.

Xiao Qiao looked at Qiao Ci on the side and smiled, “Yanzhou now has many families who will work together to support them, and there are generals with green eyes to help, my brother is dispensable.” I am afraid that he is lazy and lazy at home, wastes his youth, and dares to ask for a general, if he is not stupid, when he goes back to Liangzhou, can he take him with him? If I can train under the general, it is a rare opportunity for my brother.
Although
Yanzhou has just experienced a life-and-death upheaval, and now Qiao Pingmu is blind, many families will work together to protect them, and with Bi Yan on the side, Qiao Ci is not there, and it will not affect the overall situation.

In the past, in Yanzhou, although Qiao Ci had also experienced several wars with his father, the pattern was limited in the end. If you can go to a place like Liangzhou with a brave general like Wei Liang who has really experienced hundreds of battles, you can not only establish a real relationship with Wei Liang and others, but also be of great benefit to Qiao Ci himself.

Qiao Ci didn’t expect that Sister Ah had suddenly made such an arrangement for herself, and she was surprised and happy, and hurriedly looked at Wei Liang.

Wei Liang was slightly stunned, then he nodded his head and suddenly hesitated.

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

Wei Liang laughed and said, “Don’t hide from Lady Jun, General Li once intended to take Qiao Gongzi, but he never had the chance to speak.” Now that the princess herself has handed over her son to me first, he does not want to fight with me again! If the prince is not afraid of the suffering of the wind and sand of Xisai, I can’t ask for it! Qiao Ci’s

family prince, who grew up in Yanzhou, had long heard how brave the Qiang soldiers in Liangzhou were, how the people’s customs were fierce, and how magnificent the scene was when the battlefield was lit, and the heart longed for it, and I never had the opportunity to go in person before. Seeing that Wei Liang agreed, he was overjoyed and hurried to bow down to him again.

Xiao Qiao smiled and said, “So I will hand over Ah Di to the general, General Lao, just beat him, don’t have any scruples, his skin is thick and thick, he can withstand it.” ”
