91.12.18

Later, the accompanying reward sent to explore the road was also frozen and the boat was stopped.

A local person who was familiar with the river channel of Wei Shao visited knew that there was a narrow and narrow place in the river channel. In such a severe cold, it would be freezing for a few days before he could walk up. He would be willing to lead the way across the river at that time.

That night, Wei Shao took Xiao Qiao away from the ancient Wuchao Ferry, traveled dozens of miles to check in the inn, waiting for the thick ice layer to cross the river.

This area is based on the capital of Luoyang, and it is difficult for the local governor to be promoted, so it is still under the jurisdiction of the court. The post chief heard that Wei Shao from Youzhou and his family came here for a while and tried his best to welcome him.

Wei Shao started to take charge of the army at the age of seventeen to resist the Huns, pacify the border, and then fight east and west, siege cities and plunder land. He can be said to have worked hard almost every day, and even used to putting swords under his pillow in his sleep, and never really relaxed.

Today, the ferry was blocked. In the next few days, Wei Shao was truly unprecedentedly comfortable. It was cold outside the house and the spring in the room was warm. The woman was at hand. He didn't think about what was next, and he threw it behind his head. He only hugged Xiao Qiao, no matter how far he was, and did not distinguish between day and night, and the joy of men and women was full of love.

In ancient times, Zhou and King You of Shang all lost their country because they favored their daughters and did not care about state affairs. Wei Shao despised himself and thought he was a fool. However, he did not expect that he was also obsessed with women today and was fascinated by the way, so that Lei Yan and Jia Wei did not see the Lord and Hou showing off for three days. On the fourth day, because of the news, he went to ask for a visit, but was told that the Lord and Hou had taken the daughter to travel early in the morning and enjoyed the snow. He did not say when he would be able to return to the post house. He was extremely surprised.

Alas! How alas! It is unprecedented to the Marquis of Wei!

...

After a few days of Hu Tian Hu, Wei Shao suddenly became interested in the morning. He thought that the Yellow River area had been majestic since ancient times. Although he had been there before, he always hurriedly passed by without stopping to appreciate it. At that time, there was neither interest nor leisure. Now that he was blocked here and could not cross the river, and there was a beautiful woman by his side, why not take her out for a trip with him to enjoy the scenery, it would not be a waste of time.

He is a person who comes to the point of being in his mind. He immediately wants to take her out for a trip when he is in an interest.

A few days ago, he was locked in the room and didn't go out for a half-step. Wei Shao was like a roe owl. Although Xiao Qiao was also polite to cater to him, his body was a little weak after all. He gradually couldn't stand it when he asked for it day and night. He was worried. He heard that he finally turned his interest outside in the morning and was overjoyed. How could he be so irresistible?

Chunniang wrapped her tightly from head to toe, covering her with apricot brocade and hat-covered snow cloak. She was taken by Wei Shao and quietly out of the back door of the post house in the morning. The two of them rode a horse together and set up their horses along the river.

Although the snow cleared and the sky was clear that day, the north wind blew, and the cold was a little worse than the previous few days. Xiao Qiao rode with him and shrank into his warm arms. Wei Shao wrapped her with his snow cloak again, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed, and Xiao Qiao didn't feel any cold at all.

After being locked up for several days, she finally came out to let the wind out. She was also a little excited. She enjoyed the scenery along the way and talked and laughed with him. Before she knew it, she arrived under a high hillside. The two stopped. Wei Shao held Xiao Qiao's hand and took her to walk and stop, climbed up to the top of the slope, and finally stood shoulder to shoulder on a stone platform, looking out in the distance.

Two blue-white ice lines on the river bank at our feet, winding and magnificent from west to east. The river was surging in the past, but now it is frozen for thousands of miles. The ice layer on the river surface reflects the rising sun, like crystal clear plains. There are also the undulating terrain on both sides of the banks and the vast snow field. At the end of the sight, the white hills and the shadows of the peaks are like dragons swimming.

When a person stands in such a world, he feels far away. In a daze, Xiao Qiao feels a sense of insignificance. Just as he is feeling in his heart, Wei Shao suddenly raised his arm and pointed to the west and said, "Look, there is the direction of Luoyang. It's only a few days to go back and forth. Fortunately, Xunjiu has occupied the magpie's nest for many years. It's ridiculous that Yuan Zhe is known as a million soldiers. I thought he was a character, but it turned out that he was just a name!" In his tone, he was full of slight glances.

Yuan Zhe had previously attacked Xingxun in the name of serving the king. The two sides were in a stalemate in the Sishui River. Last month, they finally fought, but they were defeated by Xingxun. They were seriously injured and now they have retreated to Qingzhou.

Xiao Qiao knew that Wei Shao was probably feeling the scene, so she suddenly felt it. She followed his fingers and looked at the glorious imperial capital that he could not see here.

The cold wind blew over the top of the hill, making Xiao Qiao unstable. Wei Shao held her shoulder with one hand and suddenly said, "If this country is owned by me in the future, I will take your hand and share the honor of the ten thousand chariots."

Xiao Qiao was stunned and raised her eyes and looked at him.

Wei Shao did not look at her, and his eyes still fell to the direction of the imperial capital in the distance. The words just now were like a heartless word he said casually.

Xiao Qiao smiled and said nothing.

The wind was strong on the top of the mountain, and the two stood for a moment, and Wei Shao took her down the mountain. When Tathagata was like this, he rode together and slowly embarked on the way back. When he was approaching the post house, he saw Lei Yan standing at the intersection from afar, as if he was waiting for Wei Shao to return.

Lei Yan saw Wei Shao at first sight and came quickly towards him. Wei Shao urged his horse to approach him, signaled him to wait, and sent Xiao Qiao into the inn and then transferred out.

"Lord, there is news from Yang Xin."

Lei Yan waited until he came out and reported, "Two days ago, Xue Tai's troops were lured into a valley of Mangshan by the refugee head, and were attacked by fire from front and back. The troops were first in chaos. The two sides then fought. The green eyes and one-handedly advanced into Xue Tai's formation. It was unstoppable. Xue Tai was shocked by him, hit the throat with an arrow, and died on the spot."

Wei Shao looked slightly surprised, pondered for a moment, and asked, "What's the situation over there now?"

Lei Yan said: "Xue Tai died in front of the formation. Now Lingbi is all in the hands of the refugee leader, and its power has increased greatly. Xuzhou is in chaos. Xue Tai still has two sons. He hangs a white banner high on the top of Xuzhou city and swears to take the green-eyed head and take revenge. It is expected that there will be another fierce battle next."

"Where is Yang Xin now?"

"Report to the Lord and Marquis, Yang Xin originally led the army to support him as Junhou said. Seeing this, he had withdrawn. He was waiting for Jun and Marquis to show him."

Wei Shao said nothing, as if he was trapped in meditation.

Lei Yan couldn't wait for his response for a long time, and remembered the scene when he met Green Eyes outside the Hujia Village that day and almost died. Although the incident had been several days, he still felt scared when he thought about it. He couldn't help but say, "Lord, although this Green Eyes are only a first-class citizen, they should not be underestimated. Even Xue Tai died in his hands. If he did not use it for the lord in the future, it would be a disaster. Fortunately, he had a brother-in-law with his lord. If he wanted to come and fight, it would be a solution to both sides."

Wei Shao said lightly: "I don't have this brother-in-law."

Lei Yan was stunned, and then suddenly realized. He thought to himself.

Although the green eyes killed Xue Tai, they now occupied the spiritual wall, but they were just a lowly refugee leader after all. Thinking about the identity and status of the Qiao family, even if the power declined, if there was no hidden secret, it would be impossible to marry his daughter to a refugee. Not to mention the identity of the lord, how could the refugee leader be a brother-in-law with the lord?

Lei Yan knew that he had made a mistake and hurriedly apologized: "I will make a mistake, lord, don't blame me."

Wei Shao waved his hand: "It's okay."

"Is there any other news in Yanzhou?"

He was ecstatic for a moment, as if he had remembered it, and asked again.

Lei Yan hurriedly said, "I wanted to report to my lord yesterday. I just couldn't see my lord. I thought that there was nothing big, so I delayed it. In Yanzhou, as Jia Wei said, the wife of governor Qiao got up and fell ill a few months ago. The lady should have visited her when she went back. The lady stayed in Dongjun for three or four days, and then met with her green eyes and went to Lingbi. The only abnormal thing was that in these days, Qiao Ping, the father of the Dongjun Prefect, posted notices at the four-sided city gates, recruiting talents in every way, which was quite effective in imitating the ancient meaning of King Zhao of Yan in the city of horse bones. The whole city was talking about it."

Wei Shao's eyes moved slightly and he frowned.

After Lei Yan finished reporting, he was silent and waited for Wei Shao to speak.

"Send my letter to Yang Xin and ask him to be more careful of refugees. If Xue Tai's son loses, he will be restrained when necessary. Don't let Xuzhou fall into the hands of that green-eyed hand! If he has something to decide, come and sue me."

Wei Shao pondered for a moment, and finally said slowly.

...

Xiao Qiao returned to the room, took off her tightly wrapped clothes, inserted a branch of wintersweet that Wei Shao had broken from the road into a bottle, and raised it with clear water. After admiring for a while, she sat in the stove with Chunniang, baking chestnuts into the fire while talking.

Gradually, a faint sweet fragrance slowly wafted out of the air with the slight crackling sound of chestnut shells, mixed with a faint fragrance of wintersweet, refreshing the heart.

"I don't know what's going on in the Lingbi." Chunniang used her pliers to pick out the chestnuts. When it got a little cold, she peeled out the yellow flesh and put it on a plate. She fed Xiao Qiao one, and said, "It's been a few days since I've been delayed here, and I don't know when I can get on the road."

Xiao Qiao slowly chewed the sweet chestnut meat. When he was in a daze, he suddenly heard footsteps outside the door.

Chunniang turned around and saw Wei Shao coming in slowly without any speed. She hurriedly got up, smiled and asked him, and then stepped out.

Wei Shao arrived behind Xiao Qiao, hugged her waist, sipped incense, and said, "What did you say to Chunniang just now?"

Xiao Qiao turned her head, saw him smiling, leaning over behind him and smiling, and said, "There is nothing else. I just talked about Lingbi's brother-in-law and sister. I don't know how the battle is going. I'm a little worried."

Wei Shao looked at her and sat next to her, reached out to pick her up, and sat on his lap.

The two of them looked at each other with four eyes.

Wei Shao looked at her, but didn't say anything.

Xiao Qiao felt that he was abnormal. Seeing that his eyes were always on his face, he subconsciously raised his hand, touched his cheek, and smiled, "What do you think of me like this? Could it be that there is a flower on my face?"

Wei Shao smiled and said slowly: "I have good news to you. It's better to rest assured. Two days ago, the refugee head fought with Xue Tai at Mangshan, and Xue Tai was taken to the death in the formation. The refugee head had occupied the entire Lingbi territory."

Xiao Qiao was overjoyed, her eyes suddenly shone, she shouted happily, and her hands immediately climbed on Wei Shao's shoulder, and straightened her from his knees: "Is what your husband says true?"

She was so excited that she was not careful that Wei Shao was thrown onto the couch by her.

"What my husband said is true? Didn't you lie to me?" Xiao Qiao asked again.

In the past few days, although she has not asked Lingbi for the battle situation in front of Wei Shao, she is always worried about it. Although she knows that she is good at fighting, the difference between his troops and Xue Tai is now too great. This time Xue Tai is approaching the border with the intention to completely strangle him. There are too many variables, and she really dare not make up for the consequences.

But she didn't expect that not only won, she would have such a great victory! How could she not be overjoyed?
