Although Feng Zhao temporarily retired from Hongnong, the rest of the Qiang people in Huangshui were led by Beihe, and news of their willingness to surrender came one after another. However, the situation in this area is complicated. Feng Zhao has been entrenched here for many years. It may be possible to regroup and fight back. There is also burning Dangqiang waiting for an opportunity.

Wei Shao was very busy.

After the first battle, although he planned to take a chance to go back to Jinyang to see Xiao Qiao as soon as possible, after all, he missed her a little. But there was no plan to leave immediately.

Hearing this news from Gongsun Yang at this moment, he immediately became so furious that he couldn't delay any longer.

When such a thing happened, he was actually hiding it from him!

At the moment when he heard it, if the other party was not Gongsun Yang, but any other person under his account, he would have overturned the case on the spot and became furious.

Almost a month ago, he had received a letter from her.

Only now did he know that just a few days before she wrote that letter to herself, she had just experienced a fright and danger.

But even in her letter, she didn't even mention a word to herself.

She only told him in a light tone that she had accidentally rescued the grandson of the leader of the Beihe clan and had already sent him home.

It's all hidden from him! She didn't even say a word to herself!

Anger, distress, fear, and a hint of loss, Wei Shao set off on his way back to Jinyang that day.

a few days later. On this starry night, a group of people quickly entered the gate of Jinyang City and headed straight for the government office in the north of the city.

The Hu Ben guard, who was on duty in front of the ya office, was surprised to see a group of horses separated into the night, galloping in this direction.

The distance was only a few dozen meters away, and the pedestrians still showed no sign of turning.

The ten commander gave an order, and Hu Ben immediately formed a bow formation. Just as he was about to release his arrows to force a stop, the group of horses had already rolled to the front in a blink of an eye.

The ten commanders recognized it, and the person who took the lead was the prince. Hastily ordered to clear the way.

The double red doors of the government office opened wide. Hu Ben greeted him with a military salute.

The war horse under Wei Shao's crotch was finally able to stop. The horse was dripping with sweat and snorted heavily. As soon as the reins were released, it couldn't support it, and it knelt on the ground with its two front knees.

For more than half a month after returning from Huangshui, Jia Xi personally led people on duty every night. Tonight, as usual, he patrolled outside the inner door leading to the inner courtyard, and suddenly his subordinates came quickly to report that the prince had entered the door and was heading for the second door.

Jia Xi was startled, turned around and walked out. As soon as I arrived at the second gate, I saw a familiar figure striding in from a distance.

Jia Xi immediately knelt down on one knee at the bottom of the fifth floor, and said loudly, "Last General Jia Xi, welcome the return of Junhou!"

Wei Shao didn't seem to hear it at first, he didn't even stop, he strode past him, and went out ten paces in a blink of an eye.

Jia Xi didn't dare to look up at him at first, only to feel a breeze swept across his face by the corner of his robe, so he dared to raise his eyes and watch his back hurriedly enter.

A hanging heart, let it go.

He let out a slow sigh of relief, and just got up from the ground when he suddenly saw the figure of the monarch in front of him, stopped, then turned around, and strode towards him again. With another thought in my heart, I hurriedly knelt down again.

Wei Shao returned to Jia Xi and said coldly, "Is the lady in here?"

"Your Majesty, the lady is here."

"How did I tell you before I left?" His voice sounded like a rock, hard.

Jia Xi couldn't stop kowtow: "The Junhou ordered to protect the female monarch as the first priority! It's all the dereliction of duty by the last general! Please punish the Junhou!"

Wei Shao took a deep breath, and his voice became even colder: "How did you go through that night, please tell me the truth! Don't miss a word!"

Jia Xi is Lin Huben's immediate boss. From that day onwards, he continued to pursue Chen Rui by mistake. The next day he saw something was wrong. He came to his senses and turned back, knowing that something had happened. Because it involved the lady's privacy, and the details, it was naturally inconvenient to speak to Gongsun Yang that day. Now that Junhou asks such a question, how dare he hide it again, and he starts from the beginning one by one.

What Gongsun Yang knew about that night was only an approximation. It was even simpler to pass it on to Wei Shao through his mouth.

Wei Shao only knew that Chen Rui sneaked into the inner courtyard through the waterway in the backyard pool in the middle of the night, intending to kidnap Xiao Qiao, but was stopped and shot dead on the spot. The rest of the details are unknown.

It was precisely because I didn't know that I was even more worried and rushed back day and night. At this moment, when he gradually understood that it was Chen Rui who broke into Xiao Qiao's bedroom in the middle of the night, Xiao Qiao delayed him for a while, deliberately aroused Chunniang in the next ear room, and then was forcibly taken away by Chen Rui, she struggled. After rejecting him at the door, the night guard at that time rushed in to shoot Chen Rui, his palms were full of cold sweat, and his anger was indescribable.

After Jia Xi finished speaking, he hesitated in his heart, hesitating whether to tell the last scene. As soon as he raised his eyes, he shuddered when he bumped into the two yin eyes of the prince staring at him. I thought to myself at the moment that I didn't say anything and kept it hidden, but others might not say it. Even if others don't say it, the lady herself will definitely tell the prince what happened to the prince at that time...

Thinking of his words "don't miss a single word" a moment ago, Jia Xi dared not do it again, his heart sank, and he said, "In the end, something unexpected happened..."

Wei Shao's figure remained motionless.

Jia Xi bit his head and said in a low voice, "The last general was not there at the time, and I didn't see it with my own eyes. I just heard what Lieutenant General Lin said. After Chen Rui was shot with dozens of arrows on the ground, the lady came out of the room. When he approached him, she probably wanted to ask him something. Seeing that he was exhausted, the lady Tzu Chi asked Lieutenant General Lin to dig a hole and bury him, leaving him a whole body. At this moment, Chen Rui was alive again. When he came back, the person next to him was unprepared for a moment, and he jumped over to catch the lady's foot, and said something, and then he died..."

"What did you say?"

Jia Xi was not brave enough to speak for a while.

"What did you say?!"

Hearing the roar of Junhou suddenly, hot sweat rolled down from Jia Xi's forehead: "Listening to Lieutenant General Lin's words, it seems to mean... the lady is beautiful... that servant died under her... and... willingly... "

Jia Xi finally stuttered. After listening to this sentence, he couldn't forget the shameful and extremely offensive sentence. I dare not look at Junhou's expression again.

Wei Shao's figure stood stiff for a moment, and suddenly he pulled his sword out of its sheath. Jia Xi only felt a sharp sword wind blowing towards his face, and there was a sharp sound of a sword breaking into a foreign object that almost stings his ears. , the head of the stone auspicious beast standing on the side of Ermen and used as a house in the town was actually cut off by the sword in his hand, and it fell to the ground with a "bang" and rolled out. Seven or eight steps away, and finally stopped.

There was no sound all around.

The air of the late spring night seemed to freeze.

Jia Xi knelt down next to the stone beast whose head had been beheaded, not daring to take a breath.

"Go and dig that fellow out for me! Wait for me to smash him into tens of thousands of pieces!"

Every word seemed to be squeezed out of Wei Shao's teeth.

Jia Xi should be.

Wei Shao turned around and strode inside.

Just now, Jia Xi was still sweating hot, but at this moment, the cold sweat kept pouring out, and his shirt was already soaked. Until the back of Junhou completely disappeared from sight, he looked at the severed head of the stone beast on the ground, and let out a long breath.

It is the end of April.

It has been almost a month since that incident.

Until now, Xiao Qiao still sleeps with Chunniang at night.

The illness she was frightened out of earlier, at first, because she found the yin, she was in a good mood, and after a few days of sedative medicine, she was gradually getting better. A few days ago, because the weather turned warm and cold, the evil poison was the most vulnerable to intrusion. She had nightmares again at night, so that she couldn't wake up screaming, and she burned again that night. Anxious Chunniang asked for a doctor and took care of her again, and it took two days for Fang to get better. It's just that people still didn't get up quickly, and they didn't want to move very much. Chunniang did not dare to leave her. She also made a bed beside her bed at night to accompany her in person.

Xiao Qiao took medicine this evening, but because of the nature of the medicine, she fell asleep early.

Chunniang was doing the needlework for knee pads in the room at first, and as she was doing it, she looked back at her lying on the bed from time to time.

The night gradually deepened. Chunniang told the maids to go to rest. I finished making a knee pad by myself, put down the needle and thread, pounded my waist, and was about to go to sleep when I suddenly thought of cooking her tremella tomorrow, but at first I forgot to tell the cook to soak it overnight. He looked back at her and saw that she was sleeping very deeply, so he gently opened the door and went out, went to the small kitchen in person, chose white fungus and soaked it, came back into the room, closed the door, and was about to lock the door, when suddenly he heard the yard There was a sound of footsteps.

It is so late, unless there is an emergency, it is impossible for anyone to enter the inner courtyard without being summoned. What's more, listening to the footsteps, it seems to be a man.

Chunniang was worried. Although Jia Xi and the others are guarding him day and night, it is unlikely that any trouble will happen again. But when I remembered the accident a month ago, I was also afraid, so I stopped for a while, opened a crack in the door slightly, and glanced out.

Lanterns were hung on the corridor, showing a figure walking up the eaves.

It was Wei Shao.

Chunniang was surprised and happy again. She looked back at Xiao Qiao and saw that she was still asleep, so she gently opened the door, greeted her and went out. He led him to a place a little further away, and then he pleaded guilty: "The lady fell asleep. I was afraid that I would disturb her, so I wronged the man and said a few words here. Don't blame the maid for being rude."

Wei Shao glanced at the doors and windows with lights on, and asked in a low voice, "How is she?"

Chunniang heard his tone and guessed that he should already know what happened a month ago. He said: "At first, the lady was frightened and fell ill. She was already well. I didn't want to sleep a few days ago and have a frightened dream at night, and then I had a fever that night. Fortunately, the fever subsided in these two days. , I still have a cough, and people are sullen. I took the medicine at night and went to bed early, but I haven't woken up yet."

"When did the man come back?" Chunniang asked respectfully.

Wei Shao didn't answer. Standing there, as if in a trance for a moment, he said, "I see. You must have worked hard for you these days, you should go and rest." After he finished speaking, he turned around and went inside.

Chunniang hurriedly stopped him: "The lady was quite frightened at the time, but now she doesn't sleep well at night. The man must...be gentle and careful, and don't frighten her again."

She hesitated for a moment, and her love for Xiao Qiao finally overwhelmed everything else, she warned softly.

Wei Shao didn't say anything, just turned around, walked to the door, gently pushed it open, and stepped in.

Xiao Qiao didn't sleep soundly, and her throat was itchy for a while, and after a few coughs, she woke up. Feeling a little bloated in the lower abdomen. He didn't open his eyelids, and subconsciously said vaguely, "Chunniang, I want to explain..."

Even now, she still feels terrified when she goes to the bathroom alone at night. Even to relieve the hand, Chunniang should accompany him at the door. At this moment, half a sentence came out, and my mind suddenly woke up. Realized it was late at night. Chunniang has been taking care of herself this month, doing everything herself, and she is exhausted.

She rubbed her eyes and was about to get up quietly when suddenly a pair of solid arms stretched out behind her and gently lifted her out of the bed.

This is definitely not Chunniang's arm.

She doesn't have that kind of strength.

Xiao Qiao was stunned for a moment, and he was completely awake. The heart was beating wildly in an instant. Just as he was about to open his mouth to exclaim, a man whispered in his ear: "It's me. I'm back. Don't be afraid."

She was very familiar with the voice. But the tone was a gentleness she had never heard before.

She slowly opened her eyes and met Wei Shao's eyes that were looking down at her, and the eyes were intertwined like this.
