Bend Over [ 折腰 ] - Chapter 153
[Chapter 151]
Xiao Qiao stopped for a moment, quickly closed the window, and was supported by Wei Yu’s slap, his body was as agile as an ape, and he had entered the window and stopped in front of her.
The moonlight poured down and landed on the windowsill behind him, drawing a silhouette, but his face was like the back of the moon, hidden in complete shadows.
Only a pair of eyes remained, flashing a faint dark light.
Suddenly, behind him, there was an exclamation of “ah–“.
Wei Yu took an arrow step past, slapped down, and ChunNiang, who had just woken up and sat up, snorted and fell back.
Wei Yu knocked out The Unconscious Spring Lady, walked to the candlestick, lit the candle flame, and slowly turned around.
He wore an ordinary Chinese dress of blue, which he had not seen in several years, except for a short beard, and his face was similar to that of Xiao Qiao’s memory.
It’s just the feeling that comes out from head to toe, but it’s not quite the same.
Little Joe seemed to smell a kind of bloodthirsty breath of a wolf on his body.
Seeing his eyes flicker toward herself, her heart thumped, her whole body tightened, staring at him warily, and slowly stepped back, protecting the still sleeping Philip behind her.
Wei Yu’s gaze swept over the small bed behind her, and his eyes moved slightly.
“Don’t be afraid, I won’t hurt you.”
He spoke, his voice low.
Between the electric light and flint, Little Joe gave up the idea of opening his mouth to call people.
In this room, there were only herself and Phi Phi, plus a spring lady who was stunned by his slap.
Even if she opened her mouth and called out to someone at this moment, if Wei Yu had bad intentions and wanted to be unfavorable to herself or Toufu, it would be easy for him.
She calmed down slowly.
“What do you want?” She asked directly.
She didn’t ask him how he got in.
Although Jia Kai arranged patrol guards, with Wei Yu’s skills and his familiarity with the environment of the Wei mansion, it was not impossible to avoid patrolling and breaking into the inner courtyard under the cover of night.
Wei Yu didn’t make a sound, and two eyes were cast on her again, staring at her, and his eyes didn’t blink.
A thin cool breeze seeped in through the window, swept the lights, swayed the dim candle flames, and his gaze seemed to fade away.
There was a moment’s pause on her face, along her neck, slowly falling.
Xiao Qiao was still wearing only a thin moon white shirt that he had just slept in, and the neckline was slightly open, revealing a smooth jade neck.
She turned, took a light purple dress from the bedside hanger, wrapped it tightly, lowered her head and fastened the belt, and turned to face him again.
“Why should I call you?” Eldest brother? Or did the Xiongnu gradually take the king Hu Tukun?
Her cold gaze fell on him.
Under the king’s tent alone, in addition to the left and right kings, the left and right kings, and the left and right gradual kings, a total of six people, into a hexagonal trend.
During the few years that Wei Yu went to the Xiongnu, he showed his glory, and also helped his grandfather Lao Dan to conquer the Xiongnu’s old enemy Dong Hu people who had been occupying the Onion Ridge for many years, kill the King of Dong Hu, and do his best to get the people and livestock, this battle also saved Lao Shan Yu, avoided a crossbow that originally penetrated his chest, won the appreciation of Lao Shan Yu, broke the rules and was crowned as the Right General King, leading the original territory of the East Hu Ling.
A few months ago, xiao Qiao went back to the north house, and the servant woman saw her coming, and she did not inform her like an outsider. When Xiao Qiao entered the house, he overheard Madame Xu and Zhong Mi talking about Wei Yu at the door, just talking about this matter.
At that time, Mrs. Xu’s tone was both longing and seemed to carry hidden worries.
The corner of Wei Yu’s lips pulled slightly, and he slowly walked toward the small bed, and finally stopped at the edge of the small bed and leaned down slightly.
“This is your daughter and your second brother?”
He looked at Philip in his sleep.
“It’s beautiful… Like you…”
He stared at Philip, whispering lowly, and slowly reached out, as if trying to touch Philip’s cheek.
“Wei Yu!”
Little Joe raised his voice.
“You broke into the inner courtyard in the middle of the night, and I didn’t bother with you if you were rude.” I know you have a plan, but what do you really want? Wei Yu’s
hand stopped, slowly withdrew, turned around, and walked towards Xiao Qiao step by step.
Little Joe didn’t back down.
Wei Yu finally stopped in front of her, the two were separated, but only an arm apart.
Nearby, he seemed to smell a faint fragrance from her.
“You’re not afraid of me?”
He looked at her fixedly, his eyes gradually becoming confused and strange.
Xiao Qiao sneered, “This is my home, why am I afraid of you?” Although you avoided the sentry set up by Jia Kai with a familiar position, you must not forget that this is the Residence of the Prince of Junhou! If I shout, if you can still retreat with your whole body, this Wei character can be written backwards from now on!
Wei Yu was silent for a moment, his eyes gradually became clear, and he suddenly said, “What you said is correct, I have come, there is indeed something wrong.”
He paused for a moment: “Liu Yan sent an emissary to the king’s tent, promising to exchange the land of Hetao for Shan Yu’s iron horse to attack the south, and ease his urgency.” Shan Yu may not take his words seriously, but he is old and decaying, and the only regret in his life is that he has not been able to regain the hetao hetao he lost in his hands, but he has been moved, and soon, he will take this opportunity to ride as many as possible to the south and launch a surprise attack on the three places of Yunzhongbaidang Valley…”
The river loop includes huangshui, taoshui, sangqianhe and other river valleys, since the ancient water and grass are rich and fertile, and after the rise of the Xiongnu in the north for hundreds of years, Hetao became a coveted place for the Xiongnu.
One of Lao Shan Yu’s greatest achievements in this life was that when he was just succeeding Shan Yu in his twenties, he snatched the river loop from the hands of Liu Han room with thunder and iron blood, and told the Xiongnu to go south to herd horses and sheep for twenty years.
Later Wei Shao’s grandfather defended the north and, after several major battles, recaptured the occupied Hetao. In the past twenty years, although Shan Yu has attempted to attack Hetao several times, he has been blocked, and even if the Iron Rider steps on the Eastern Hu of the Western Regions, his heart is inevitably uneven.
Little Joe’s face changed dramatically.
Wei Yu raised his left hand to the front and looked at his little finger with a truncated iron sleeve.
“Before I left the Wei family, I swore that one day my grandmother would live, I would not kill a single bite of the Han people. Although I am a despicable and shameless person, I still remember the oath I made. This southward raid, I do not ask for war.
His gaze fell on her delicate face, which had lost her blood color: “Since I resigned from the Wei family that day and returned to the Xiongnu, I am now a Xiongnu person.” Even if you don’t ask for war, you shouldn’t have reported it today. It’s just that my grandmother has the grace of nurturing me after all. It is because I have come to summon and make a judgment with the Wei family’s nurturing grace, from now on, I am no longer a Han Chinese, just as you have just said, I am a Xiongnu Hu Tukun. On
the bed, Chunniang was knocked out of the neck and fainted, and gradually woke up, emitting several vague moans.
Wei Yu took a deep look at Xiao Qiao, turned and hurried to the window he had just turned into, and came out through the window.
Little Qiao turned back to God’er, chased after him, and said to the figure in the moonlight: “Since you left, my grandmother has been missing.” Since you have come to report the news, why didn’t you see your grandmother and pray to her? Seeing the
shadow of the head in front of him for a moment, he continued to face forward, and with a wrong eye, he disappeared into the night.
Chunniang finally woke up, sat up violently, looked around, saw the light in the room, Xiao Qiao was in front of the window, looking no different, relieved, rubbing the back of her neck that was still in pain, and moaned: “Lady Junfang is talking to someone? I was just asleep, as if I also saw a black shadow coming in the room, and I was about to call, I didn’t know… Am I dreaming, or is something wrong?
Little Joe turned and hurriedly wrote a letter with a pen.
After a few moments, Jia Kai hurried to come and said, “Lady Jun suddenly called me, but did you have any orders?”
Xiao Qiao handed him the letter: “Hurry to the Golden Dragon Temple and hand it over to the old lady!” Don’t delay for a moment! ”
……
As soon as dawn came, Madame Xu returned from the Golden Dragon Temple.
As soon as he returned, Xiao Qiao immediately followed up and told him what Wei Yu had reported last night.
Naturally, skipping the front and mentioning only the content of his report.
Madame Xu did not say a word, only sat with her eyes closed.
A moment later, Lei Yan, who had been ordered to stay in Yuyang, arrived in a hurry with two generals and several generals.
In addition to the border towns, Wei Shao also had 5,000 garrisons at Yanmen and Fanyang.
Lady Xu arranged for the dispatch of troops, and after completing the ceremony, she said: “With the meteor Ma Zhizhao in the clouds, bai ascended to the three places of the valley to guard the generals, take strict precautions, if the Xiongnu attack, be sure to hold on, wait for the arrival of reinforcements, the rest of the military towns echo each other, there is news immediately reported to me!”
Lei Yan got the order and led the people away in a hurry.
After the group left, Mrs. Xu pondered for a moment and suddenly coughed.
On the side, Zhong Mi hurriedly handed the paw and stroked her back.
Since that year, after the incident of Wei Yu and poisoning, Lady Xu’s body was much worse than before.
Xiao Qiao hurriedly poured a lamp of warm water, waited for Mrs. Xu to finish coughing, and handed it to her.
Madame Xu took a sip of water, put down the cup, waited for the breath to calm down a little, and smiled at Xiao Qiao: “Don’t be afraid.” A message was sent to Shao’er early in the morning, and he would soon be able to return to the army. Although the Xiongnu Iron Horse is menacing, my Wei Jia Erlang is also experienced in hundreds of battles, and he will definitely be able to pass this hurdle!
Zhong Mi looked solemn.
Xiao Qiao asked, “Grandmother, how long will it take for the husband to return to the army as soon as possible?”
Madame
Xu sighed deeply: “With the elite soldiers, after the news is delivered, it will be half a month.” “That
is to say, at least twenty days.” Grandmother, with 100,000 defenders against the Xiongnu 300,000 iron horses, plus Yanmen and Fanyang to stay behind, even if they are dead, I am afraid it will be a difficult and vicious battle.
Madame
Xu looked at her with one eye: “Do you have something to say?”
Little Joe knelt down in front of her.
“Grandmother, if you borrow help from the Qiang soldiers in the Huangshui area and arrive here, how many days will it take?”
“Ten days at most…” Madame Xu raised her eyes widely: “What do you mean?” “Why don’t
you hurry up and borrow troops from the Beihe Qiang people to help?” I expected that as long as I opened my mouth, the former Wang Patriarch would definitely send troops. The Qiang people are brave and good at war, not inferior to the Xiongnu, if they are willing to come to the aid, even if they cannot repulse the Xiongnu, at least they can help the defenders to return to the Army. Lady Xu was
actually very clear in her heart that with more than 100,000 defenders, she wanted to resist the 300,000 iron horses of the Xiongnu and hold out for more than 20 days, and the difficulties were indeed not small.
Do everything as you can to minimize the loss.
Only then did she say that to Little Joe, but also to comfort her.
In Madame Xu’s heart, she had already thought about sending her mother and daughter away from Yuyang as soon as possible for the sake of safety.
Suddenly hearing this suggestion, my heart was also slightly excited, and I nodded: “This method is feasible!” ”
