The three of them left the north house. Xiao Qiao was a little behind. Wei Shao walked side by side with his mother Zhu at the front. When he arrived at the three-way intersection, Wei Shao stopped, and Xiao Qiao walked up.

"You go back to your room. I'll take my mother back to the house."

He didn't even look at Xiao Qiao, and then walked towards the road in the east room.

Xiao Qiao stood at the fork in the road, watching him with his mother's back, turned around silently, and returned to the west room by himself.

"How could his house burn out in a good way?"

On the way, Zhu started to complain, "You cousin, I felt so tired when I saw him! I don't know how long it will take to live after living back!"

Wei Shao looked straight ahead with his eyes, his expression was indifferent, and there was no response.

Seeing that his son seemed absent-minded, Zhu looked back and saw that the servants who were following him were separated by some road. He gritted his teeth and said, "I will not tolerate him. But since he was a child, I felt heartbroken when I saw his eyes. He wanted to compete with you for this Wei family thing! I saw that you have a good relationship with him, and I used to be just worried and couldn't say it. This time I just reminded you that you must be careful. If something really happens one day, it will be too late to regret it!"

Wei Shao looked at Zhu and still said nothing. He quickly sent Zhu to the door of the east house and stopped walking: "My son has sent his mother here. There is still a serious matter outside, so let's go first."

"Wait!" Zhu felt unwilling to accept his son, and was really anxious when he saw that his son didn't seem to listen.

There was a secret that was nearly thirty years ago in her heart. She had just married into the Wei family at that time. Perhaps only she and Mrs. Xu knew this secret now. She had hidden it for decades.

With her personality, it is really hard to hide. Whenever she wants to say it to her son, as long as she thinks of Mrs. Xu's single-eye looking at her coldly, she will unconsciously feel cold from the bottom of her heart, and then swallow the words that came to her mouth.

Wei Shao stopped and looked back at Zhu.

Zhu opened his mouth and finally swallowed it back. He smiled reluctantly and said, "It's nothing. Go. It's hard to get back early. If you want to eat the food I cook, it's okay if you don't want to come to my place. Send someone to say, I'll prepare it and have someone take it to the west room for you."

Wei Shao paused and nodded, "Don't bother my mother. Let's go in."

Zhu responded and was clustered in by the servants coming from behind.

...

Wei Shao left the Wei family and came straight to the yamen office. Gongsun Yang, Li Dian and Wei Liang were already waiting for him.

A few days ago, Yuan Zhe from Qingzhou sent an envoy to come and the people arrived today. Although they had not met yet, it was inferred that it was related to Xingxun's battle in Sishui at this time. After the agreement, Wei Liang left the city to welcome him. By the Wu, Yuan Zhe's younger brother Yuan Dai and his group entered the city.

Wei Shao held a banquet at the yamen office to greet the ceremony.

If the princes in the world are divided by their regions, and their soldiers are strong and their horses are famous, there are only three schools: Northern Wei Shao, Hanzhong Le Zhenggong, and Shandong Yuanzhe.

To be honest, if there is no accident in this drama of competing for the world today, those who have the ability to kill Xun Xun and destroy the princes and seize the imperial seal will be among these people.

The rest of the people were just singing together.

Yuan Zhe had been in charge of several generations and had long been in a position to look down on the world. Xing Xun changed his name to the young emperor a few months ago. He felt that the time had come, so he couldn't help but join forces with Liu Kai and others in Guangping to send troops to Luoyang. He originally wanted to attack Luoyang in one go and kill Xing Xun to replace him.

But since Xun Xun was able to reach the level of "father of the Nation" today, he naturally did not eat vegetarian food. He was already strong and the two sides fought in the Sishui area, winning and losing each other. Now he was standing by each other across the water and temporarily stopped moving. Instead, he started a war of verbal battle, and each of them flew all over the sky.

Xun Xun scolded Yuan Zhe in the name of Emperor Han, openly launched a rebellion, and called on the people of the world to attack him. Yuan Zhe scolded Xun for holding the emperor to order the princes, intending to usurp the throne, and called on the princes to serve the king with him. The two of them were very happy. As they cursed, Yuan Zhe thought of Wei Shao, so he sent his younger brother Yuan Dai to Yuyang and said in the tone of an elder, "I have been kind to your father Wei Jing, but now my father is gone, I will take care of your son." Uncle, I am fighting with Xing Xun, you have to fight with me."

When Yuan Zhe was a general of Zhonglang in Luoyang with Wei Jing, Wei Jing once brought several people out of the capital. When he passed by Zhongmu, he encountered a group of dozens of thieves. Yuan Zhe happened to pass by, and the two of them killed the thieves together.

Although this matter is true, Yuan Zhe relies on his seniority, and Yuan Dai also followed suit, seemingly trying to establish a dignity in front of Wei Shao, the new northern overlord. Wei Liang, opposite, angrily rose up on the spot, raised his foot and kicked the wine case in front of him with a "slam". The wine and meat fell to the ground. Wei Liang walked to Yuan Dai, drew his sword and pointed at his nose, and shouted loudly: "The kindness of Zhongmu has been repaid twice as much! When the lord saw you coming from afar, he did not forget the old relationship between the two families, and only held a banquet to greet him today when he was sick. Where did you come from? How dare you speak loudly in front of my lord!"

Yuan Zhegan'er Ding Qu, who was walking with him, stood behind Yuan Dai. He was known for his fierceness. Seeing this, he hurriedly drew out his sword and shouted, "Ding Qu is here, who dares to be rude?"

Wei Liang sneered, and with a whistle, dozens of warriors rush into the door, surrounded Yuan Dai and Ding Qu Tuan, with sharp swords and swords and murderous intent.

After the Wei family's incident ten years ago, Yuan Zhe thought that the Wei family was in a slump, and he didn't even look at it. A few years later, Wei Shao was in charge of the army. Yuan Zhe heard that he was only seventeen years old and laughed at him. Unexpectedly, in just a few years, Wei Shao's power rose sharply and he swallowed Jizhou first. Not long ago, he destroyed Chen Xiang and got Bingzhou. Not only did he actually unify the north, but his reputation also had a great momentum to surpass him. Yuan Zhe became panicked and hated that he had not completely cut off when he was not yet full of wings. This is also one of the reasons why he was eager to destroy Xingxun and replace him. The plan was blocked, so he came up with the plan of the above generations to take over Wei Shao.

If Wei Shao Zun, he would come to help the war, and the other princes would naturally follow suit, and he would be the leader of the alliance. If Wei Shao didn't Zun, the Wei family would be lucky to be a member of the party and be ungrateful. Then he sent Yuan Dai to come.

Yuan Dai originally wanted to rely on his seniority to make a name for himself, and to be the first to win the lead in front of this young rising star. Before he could get the banquet, Wei Liang turned against him.

This is Wei Shao's territory. If he really had the intention of killing, ten squatters could not save him. He was frightened and regretful. He looked at Wei Shao. Seeing him sitting in the south, he seemed to be out of his way and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty! I came to join forces with my brother, and what I told you was just my brother's words. If the Marquis of Yan has any objections, I can send it back on my behalf. The two countries are fighting without hurting the envoy. What is the reason for the general to be angry with his sword?"

Wei Shao's expression was gloomy and remained motionless.

There were at least twenty or thirty people in the hall, but they were silent at this moment. Yuan Dai slowly rolled down his forehead with cold sweat, but he didn't even dare to raise his sleeves to wipe it, fearing that one move would bring disaster to death.

After a moment, Wei Shao brushed his hand. Wei Liang then withdrew his sword. As the soldiers and armors collided, the soldiers retreated one after another. Someone bent over and quickly replaced the broken case in front of Wei Liang that had just been kicked over. The rest were chatting and laughing, as if nothing had happened.

Yuan Daixin was still beating, and he looked at Wei Shao, who was still calm in the middle, and slowly let out a sigh of relief, not daring to show any arrogance.

Gongsun Yang then said slowly: "I don't know what Yuan envoys have. My lord seems to have many soldiers and generals now, but in fact, the military camps in various places in Jizhou and Bingzhou are empty. I am already in a difficult position and I am too short to borrow troops from Yuan, but I just can't speak. Now that the envoys have come from afar, they have spoken first, and the two families have old friends, the lord can't resign for help. After gathering the source of troops, they will definitely send troops to help as soon as possible."

Yuan Dai no longer dared to show any hesitation and nodded to thank him.

Gongsun Yang smiled and said, "I am here for you. In the next two days, I will be the conference of Deli in Youzhou. If you have time, you can go and watch it."

...

Yuan Dai and his group were sent to the inn and settled down. In the evening, Wei Shao returned to the Wei Mansion and entered the door and learned that Wei Yan had returned from Dai County in the afternoon and had been called by Mrs. Xu and moved in.

Wei Shao had not made a statement and went straight into the west room. There were only three or two maids in the courtyard. When he saw him go back, they all bowed. Wei Shao went to the main room, walked up the steps and reached the door. After hesitating, he pushed the door open, but Xiao Qiao was not seen in the room, and turned around and asked. A maid said, "The Maoer just disappeared. The woman was afraid that it would be lost, so she went to find her in person. Chunma and the others also went, so let us see the house."

Wei Shao frowned. He stood at the steps, hesitated for a moment, and strode out. He walked along the corridor and walked to a corner leading to the north house gate. From a distance, he saw a faint crimson-red back beside the crabapple branches. It was Xiao Qiao. There were several servants and maids standing beside her, and they were all looking up at the wall of the flower wall.

The cat was squatting high on the wall, not knowing how it got up, but it seemed to be unable to get down at this moment.

The maids chattered, some said they used bamboo poles to connect, some said they used ladders to climb up and hug them.

Wei Shao was about to pass, but his steps suddenly stopped again.

He saw Wei Yan coming out of the north room and walking towards the wall.

A servant next to Xiao Qiao saw him first, ran up, pointed to the cat squatting on the wall of the flower wall and said a few words. Wei Yan looked at Xiao Qiao, and immediately walked over quickly, came under the wall of the flower wall, looked up at the wall, took a few steps back, and then rushed forward two steps. With the momentum, the man was like a gecko, and he moved up to the top of the wall, reached out to catch the cat, and then jumped down from the wall, landed steadily, with agile posture, and the maid and maid cheered.

Wei Yan showed a slight smile on his face, looked at Xiao Qiao, paused, and then walked towards her with the cat in his arms.

Xiao Qiao hurriedly went up to her. When Wei Yan reached out to hand it to her, the cat might have been frightened just now, and suddenly scratched its claws. Wei Yan was caught off guard and scratched the back of his hand, and a few long blood marks appeared immediately. The cat also jumped from Wei Yan's hand and jumped off the ground. The maid nearby was afraid that it would run away again, so he hurriedly chased after him.

Although the cat was underage, its hook claws were extremely sharp. Seeing that it was very gentle a few days ago, Xiao Qiao didn't think of cutting off its claws. Unexpectedly, he injured Wei Yan at this moment. Seeing that a few drops of blood were oozing out of the wound on his back, he felt a little disgusted and hurriedly thanked him and apologized.

"How? Can someone come and bandage it?"

Wei Yan smiled and said, "It's okay, it's just a small wound, why do you need to mobilize the troops?" He shook his hand.

Xiao Qiao apologized to him again.

At this time, Wei Shao suddenly appeared from behind and strode towards this side.

Xiao Qiao also saw Wei Shao. Seeing him finally stopped beside him, his eyes fell on Wei Yan's hand. He quickly explained the story of Wei Yan climbing forward to catch the cat for him, and said apologetically: "It's all my fault. I didn't look at the cat, which hurt my uncle's hand."

Wei Shao smiled slightly, looked at Wei Yan, looked at him for a moment, and then said warmly: "I'm sorry, elder brother. I caught a cat for Manman to raise and play with her. I'll get your hands caught. I'll also pay for Manman to pay for him."

Wei Yan's mood suddenly became a little uneasy.

If, just a moment ago, he felt a vague joy in his heart because he had this chance and precious opportunity to speak close to Qiao Nu, and even to her gratitude. At this moment, with his younger brother appearing, he met him looking at him, and listened to him as he apologized to his wife with an extremely intimate name. The original secret joyful feeling quickly faded from his heart. Finally, it became a messy ball with a slight astringent and melancholy.

His mood also became uneasy.

This is a keen intuition. It cannot be described in words. But at this moment, he really felt it.

His younger brother Wei Shao is a little different from usual.

Wei Yan's mind suddenly flashed through the day and came back to learn that the house had caught fire.

At that time, when he came back and saw the darkness of the darkness that had originally hidden the most ulterior motive in his heart fell to the ground with the fire, his first feeling was actually a sigh of relief.

It was like a carbuncle that could make him fatal. He could not cut it off by himself. Now the carbuncle has been cut off by someone.

He even thanked the fire that came a little suddenly, which left him unprepared for the previous fire.

But at this moment, he suddenly felt that the fire was a little strange.

Wei Yan's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and a layer of cold sweat quickly emerged from the palm of his hand.

He stared at Wei Shao for a moment, and finally smiled and said, "A small matter is a little. Second brother, don't be polite."

Wei Shao smiled, nodded slightly at him, then turned to look at Xiao Qiao, and said softly: "Let's go, it's time for us to go back to our room."

Xiao Qiao was stunned.

Wei Shao would call her nickname in the room, such as on the bed, when he was in love with her.

But after getting out of bed, she never heard him call herself by his nickname.

At this moment, he suddenly said it from him for no reason and said to Wei Yan.

Forget it, his attitude changed so quickly that she was really caught off guard.

What happened that made him suddenly look like a gentle lover?

Not only did Wei Shao not move her, but instead made her feel extremely strange.

It's even a little creepy.

Wei Shao shouldn't be like this, even when they were at their closest relationship.

Xiao Qiao suppressed the feeling of discomfort that surged in her heart, met his gentle gaze, smiled at him, and followed him.

...

Wei Yan stood there, watching Wei Shao and her backs gradually fading away until they disappeared from the end of their sight.

Only half of the crabapple branches and leaves were left in front of me swaying gently in the wind, making a slight rustling sound.

Wei Yan slowly clenched his fist.
