East County Joe's house.

Qiao Yue sat in the study, his face was gray and his eyes were straight, like a dead man.

These days, news seems to have suddenly opened the floodgates and keeps coming towards him.

He was almost breathless from the shock.

It turned out that Wei Shao had already disintegrated the Northern Expedition Alliance and won the Yellow River War.

It was something that everyone in the world knew, but he didn't even notice it, and thought that Wei Shao was still fighting the beasts.

What was he doing when he attacked Luoyang with lightning?

After listening to Zhang Pu's words, he not only turned to Liu Yan, but also blinded his younger brother and imprisoned him.

Up to now, he has been quickly overridden by Liu Yan.

In addition to getting the empty title of Henghaihou who is nothing, Qiao Yue found out in horror that Yanzhou was no longer in his own hands.

Thinking of the scene that happened a moment ago, his hands trembled uncontrollably.

Wei Liang brought a team of people to Dongjun today, saying that they were here to congratulate Qiao Ping on his birthday.

By the time he learned the news, Wei Liang had already been surrounded.

He broke out of the siege and fled, but all of his entourage were shot to death.

This order was naturally not given by Qiao Yue.

When Qiao Yue heard the news, he was struck by five thunders. Vaguely, as if I finally understood something in my heart, my heart skipped a beat, a feeling of impending catastrophe.

Suddenly thinking of Qiao Ping, like thinking of a savior, he got up reluctantly and hurried to where Qiao Ping was imprisoned.

When he got to the door, he was stopped by the guards.

Qiao Yue couldn't help burning with anger, pondered for a while, turned around and hurried to Liu Yan's residence.

Liu Yan stayed in Qiao's house these days. Instead of staying in the vigil that Qiao Yue prepared for him, he stayed in the old house where he lived when he was a boy.

The old residence was in disrepair, and Qiao Yue refused at first. But Liu Yan insisted, so he could only follow him.

Qiao Yue broke in, but was blocked by Liu Shan's leader.

Growing angrier, he shouted loudly. Suddenly I heard Liu Yan's voice from inside: Let him in.

Liu Fanfang was released.

Qiao stepped in and saw Liu Yan **** with big sleeves, sitting by the window, playing a game of Go alone.

His eyes fell on the chessboard, and his fingers twisted a black spot, as if he was thinking about the chess game.

Qiao Yue held back his anger and said, "This is my Qiao family. I just wanted to see my second brother, why was I blocked?"

Liu Yan didn't look at him, he dropped a slap, Fang said indifferently: "The Duke is blind in both eyes. I am asking a doctor to diagnose and treat him. He needs to rest, and it is inconvenient to see people."

Qiao Yue sighed in his chest, forcibly endured it any longer, and said, "I just heard that Wei Liang was attacked outside the city gate. You did it too?"

Liu Yan didn't respond, reached out to the jade pot, grabbed a few white seeds, squeezed it in the palm of his hand, and played with it slowly.

"Liu Yan!"

Qiao Yue couldn't bear it any longer, and he called him by his name, "I've only gradually come to understand in the past few days. Why can't I receive the news from the outgoing spies so late in Yanzhou! It was you who intercepted the news, Playing with me again, right or not? My Qiao family used to be kind to you, but you hurt me so much! What is your motive?"

Liu Yan glanced at him, still calm and calm: "What's wrong with Marquis Henghai? It's only been a few days. Could it be that you regret voting for me again and want to seek favor with Wei Shao again? It's a pity—"

He sighed softly and shook his head: "It's too late. Everyone in the world knows that your Qiao family has abandoned the shadows and turned to the light, and you are willing to be my minister of the Han Dynasty. Even if you put down your lower body now, you will be as shameless as you were three years ago. If the girl is better than Wei Shao, I'm afraid he won't be able to tolerate your Qiao family anymore."

Qiao Yue gritted his teeth, and his face slowly flushed.

Liu Yan stared at him for a moment, then let go of his palm, and the few pieces that Fang grabbed were scattered on the board.

The chess pieces spun around, making a slight and pleasant sound of jade rubbing, and then stopped slowly and stopped.

Liu Yan went down to the ground and walked slowly along the wall of the house.

Finally, he stopped in front of Qiao Yue and said with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Qiao, for your hospitality, for keeping me here for so many days, so that I can relive the unforgettable days when I was a teenager. It's time for me to go too."

Qiao Yue was shocked: "You made me look like this, and when you left, where would you leave my Yanzhou military and civilians?"

Liu Yan said: "Qiao Gong's words are wrong. Wei Shao has long had the heart of chaotic ministers. You voted for me.

The muscles of Qiao Yue's cheeks trembled, turning into the color of pig liver.

"I know you're afraid of Wei Shao's call. Don't worry, since Yanzhou is now a Chinese territory, why would I care? I have left you a helper, General Ding Qu, who led the army a few days ago, you have seen his face Right? He'll temporarily take on the responsibility of the provincial governor on your behalf. Qiao Gong's heart is."

After speaking lightly, he brushed off his sleeves, turned and floated away.

…

Liu Yan galloped out of the city gate of Dongjun without looking back.

The wind was blowing in his face, raising his sleeves and the corners of his robe.

His heart was filled with a sense of pleasure from revenge, and he could not wait to let out the tumultuous emotions in his heart at the moment.

Bought a Zhang Pu with a huge profit, Yanzhou will be owned by him, and the Qiao family will completely cut themselves off from Wei Shao.

When we meet, there will be battles.

The city walls of Yanzhou may not be able to withstand Wei Shao's forces.

But what's the harm? He didn't care about the gain or loss of a city.

Moreover, Yanzhou did not belong to him.

The reason why he stayed here for Ding Qu, who had defected to him, was to give him real power on the ground and a chance for revenge, and at the same time to show his grace.

Secondly, Wei Shao's hatred for the Qiao family will become more profound the more Yanzhou's strong resistance is encountered.

Could it be that from now on, his Xiao Qiao can continue to be in love with Wei Shao and live forever?

Liu Yan suppressed the surging pleasure in his heart, closed his eyes, and took a long breath of the fresh air he seemed to know in the field outside Dongjun City.

This whole world will sooner or later return to the Han Dynasty.

The Qiao daughter of the Qiao family in Dongjun, one day, can only belong to him, and no one can really take it away.

Neither can Wei Shao.

…

Wei Liang was sent back to Luoyang by Dong Mao, the prefect of Xu Di adjacent to Yanzhou.

Although the imperial doctor in the palace had tried his best to treat him, he was in a coma for many days due to excessive blood loss, but he was unable to survive.

Wei Shao rushed back to Luoyang three days ago.

For the past three days, he has been staying by Wei Liang's side.

Until the hand he was holding that was calloused from holding the sword slowly became cold and stiff.

The imperial physicians were all terrified and could not afford to kneel.

Gongsun Yang, Wei Quan, Zhu Zeng and others were also waiting outside and did not dare to enter.

Until dawn the next day, I finally heard a heavy footstep coming from inside and outside, and everyone hurried up to meet them.

Seeing Wei Shao appear, his eyes were full of bloodshots.

Gongsun Yang suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and hurried up to meet him, saying, "My lord, there may be some misunderstanding in this. The Qiao family does not expect that—"

"Send my order, gather troops and horses, and Lei Zetan will help me to attack Yanzhou. The rest of the people will stay where they are and stand by! If there are trespassers, they will be dealt with by military law!"

Wei Shao turned a deaf ear, only hoarse, word by word.

Immediately walked away.

…

The day Xiao Qiao heard the news, her daughter was almost two months old.

She is more beautiful than when she was born, a little person like a snow ball. When she smiles, in her black eyes, it seems that all the flowers in the spring garden are in full bloom.

Mrs. Xu loves her very much. Since her full moon, she has to hug her every day and tease her to talk.

The Wei family mansion, which was originally a little empty, has added countless laughter and vitality with the birth and growth of Philip.

It was an early summer afternoon with good weather. Xiao Qiao stayed by Mrs. Xu's side as usual, watching her hug Philip to coax her to sleep.

Philip is an energetic little fellow. But at this moment, she had enough to eat and drink, she closed her eyes with long curly eyelashes, and slept quietly in the arms of her great grandmother.

Mrs. Xu was reluctant to turn her hands for fear of disturbing her, so she got up in person, carried her into the inner room, put her on the bed, and covered her with a quilt.

"Where do you have a letter from Shao'er recently?"

After Mrs. Xu came out, she asked Xiao Qiao.

Joe shook his head.

Mrs. Xu pondered for a moment, then smiled: "It must be because Luoyang was busy with things, and Shao'er was entangled, so she didn't return. Don't worry about it. I'll send a letter and ask."

After the last letter after the birth was sent out, there has been no reply from Wei Shao.

The Battle of the Yellow River was over, even if Wei Shao was too busy to come back, he wouldn't even get a letter back.

Somewhat unusual indeed.

Xiao Qiao knew that Mrs. Xu was worried that she was worried, that she would not please Wei Shao when she gave birth to a daughter. Like Mrs. Zhu, although she didn't say anything, she couldn't hide her disappointment.

Feeling grateful, she was about to speak when suddenly Zhong Li hurried in from outside and said, "Miss, Young Master Qiao is here."

She paused, "Young Master Qiao seems to be in a hurry."

Joe was very surprised.

I haven't seen my brother for a long time.

At this moment, he suddenly learned that he had arrived in Yuyang, and he should have been pleasantly surprised.

But for some reason, her heart sank slightly, as if something had happened.

Bad things.

She immediately looked at Madam Xu.

Mrs. Xu nodded: "You go quickly."

Xiao Qiao hurried back to the East Room and was even more surprised to see Qiao Ci.

Qiao Ci had not closed his eyes for several days and nights, his eyes were red and haggard and anxious.

As soon as he saw Xiao Qiao, he immediately jumped up.

"Sister! Something happened in Yanzhou! Sergeant Gongsun told me to come to you quickly!"

…

In the past two months, Xiao Qiao gradually felt that something was wrong.

Wei Shao should not have been late to return after the war was over.

But she could never have imagined that in such a short period of time, such an earth-shaking change had occurred in Yanzhou.

Father's life is unknown.

Uncle Qiao Yue not only voted for Liu Yan in his father's name, but also killed Wei Liang, who was going to celebrate his father's birthday without any precautions. Wei Shao was angry and sent troops to Yanzhou. The prefects of the other places gave way one after another, and the army seemed to pass through no one.

"Sister, after I got out of the city that day, I thought that my second brother-in-law was trapped by the coalition forces, so I went to my eldest brother-in-law for help. I didn't want Liu Yan to have kept his hand, and sent Qingzhou soldiers to attack Lingbi. The eldest brother-in-law was blocked and could not I rushed to Yanzhou in time. When the Qingzhou soldiers were repelled, my eldest brother-in-law and I rushed to Yanzhou, only to find out that Yanzhou had completely fallen into the hands of Liu Yan, and General Wei Liang was killed. Do not intervene, otherwise it will be regarded as hostile. The elder brother-in-law is temporarily stationed in Juye. I went to see the second brother-in-law and wanted to explain the ins and outs. But I couldn't see it, and the second brother-in-law refused to see me. Please, sister, think of a way!"

Xiao Qiao's heart was beating wildly, and her face suddenly lost its blood.

After calming down, he comforted Qiao Ci with a few words, and asked someone to take him down to rest for a while, then he immediately returned to the North Room. As soon as he entered, he immediately knelt in front of Mrs. Xu, kowtowed, and remained motionless for a long time.

"Is something wrong? Get up and speak slowly."

Madam Xu's voice sounded above her head, as calm as ever. As if with the power to calm people's panic.

But at this moment, Xiao Qiao couldn't look up.

Also without looking up.

"Grandmother, General Wei Liang was killed. It was still my Qiao family."

She held back the tears that were about to burst into her eyes and said.

The house suddenly fell silent.

Xiao Qiao kept kneeling, touching the ground with her forehead, motionless.

After a long time, I heard Mrs. Xu's hoarse voice rang again: "Look up! Speak!"

The sound has turned to a shrill.

Xiao Qiao stood up straight and recounted what he heard from Qiao Ci.

"Grandmother, there is also Liu Yan's manipulation in this matter, using my uncle and father's discord, not only to control Yanzhou, but my father's life and death is still unknown. I am afraid there are many misunderstandings. The husband is now angry and sent troops to Yanzhou to take revenge. My brother I begged to see my husband, but my husband refused to see him. He was helpless, so Xingye came to Yuyang for help. I begged my grandmother to allow me to go to Yanzhou and meet my husband to explain clearly. It is not that I want to distance myself from the Qiao family. General Wei Liang Waiting for someone to die because of the Qiao family, the Qiao family will pay their lives for their lives, but it is not enough to relieve the pain of their relatives. I have nothing to say. I hate Liu Yan for his sinister intentions and do not want to let his tricks succeed! I beg my grandmother to take care of it for me Philippe some time, I'll leave as soon as possible!"

She kowtowed again.

"Go, let Jia Si **** you there as soon as possible. Philip has me to take care of."

Madam Xu spoke slowly.
