"Man Man! Man Man! Wake up!"

A gentle and somewhat worried voice sounded in her ears, and then she was pushed awake.

Xiao Qiao suddenly opened her eyes and found herself still lying on the same bed that she had slept on for two years, but she was sweating as if she had just come out of the water.

She slept with her on the side, and the one who just woke her up was her cousin Da Qiao, the daughter of her uncle Qiao Yue, the prefect of Yanzhou. The two sisters grew up together, and they had a very good relationship, so they often slept in the same quilt.

Seeing that she was finally awake, Da Qiao touched her forehead and found that she was sweating coldly. He hurriedly put on his clothes and got out of bed without disturbing the sleeping maid outside. My cousin wiped the sweat carefully, and was afraid that she would catch a cold, so she took a clean coat of her own and changed it for Xiao Qiao, and finally poured her a glass of water and handed it to her.

Xiao Qiao was thirsty and took it gratefully.

Da Qiao sat on the edge of the bed, looked at her drinking water, and sighed: "Have a nightmare again? Manman, I remembered that you slept soundly in the past. What happened in the past two years, you often have nightmares, right? Accidentally bumped into something unclean outside? Or I'll tell my mother tomorrow and invite a goddess to come and take a look at it?"

Xiao Qiao's mother died of illness a few years ago, and her aunt, Mrs. Ding, was also very affectionate to Xiao Qiao and often greeted him.

Xiao Qiao hurriedly shook her head: "Sister, no need. I'm really fine."

Da Qiao took the bowl and put it back on the table, still worried: "What did you dream about just now? Your whole body is frozen like this?"

…

This kind of dream has often appeared since two years ago, after Xiao Qiao inexplicably pierced into the girl in this troubled world.

But she knew it wasn't just a nightmare.

It seems that at that time, she not only became Xiao Qiao, the 12th daughter of Qiao Ping, the county governor of Dongjun County, Yanzhou, but also engraved all the memories of Xiao Qiao's past life in the short span of 20 years.

The terrifying scene in the dream just now was the last scene before his death in his previous life.

Everything in the dream is so **** and real.

Concubine Liu, the thirteen-year-old girl who died under the knife of the palace servant, the strange gaze that stared at her when she died, even at this moment, she had woken up, and she still felt horrified.

In her heart, it seemed that she still had the piercing pain and chill that the sharp sword pierced into her heart.

She didn't want to recall any more, so she curled up towards Da Qiao and murmured, "I just dreamed of being chased by an evil tiger..."

Da Qiao smiled, touched her hair lovingly, leaned over and blew the light, groped to get back to the bed, hugged Xiao Qiao, patted her back lightly, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, sister. sleep with you."

Xiao Qiao hummed, leaning on Da Qiao's soft and warm body, and slowly closed her eyes.

The small cold moonlight in November of the seventh year of Dingkang in the great Han Dynasty was sifted through the window paper and quietly illuminated the ground in front of the bed.

Xiao Qiao gradually calmed down and closed her eyes.

But she couldn't sleep again.

Big Joe beside her seems to be just like her.

She thought that Xiao Qiao was asleep, so she gently closed the quilt for her cousin, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

Xiao Qiao listened to Da Qiao's breathing and knew what was on her mind.

…

Yanzhou Shuangqiao is famous for its beauty, and it is famous all over Henan. At that time, there was a saying that "Luoshui is very magical, and Shuangqiao accounts for eight points". When Da Qiao was ten years old, he entered into a marriage contract with the son of the Cui family, the prefect of Dongping, who was very powerful at the time. Two years ago, when Da Qiao was fifteen years old and was about to get married, Dongping was attacked by Ren Chengzhou and Zhouqun, and Taishou Cui and his son were killed in battle, and the marriage was ended.

Two years later, Da Qiao was seventeen years old, and the suitors from all over the world almost stepped on the threshold, but the marriage was always not smooth, and it has been a waste of time. It wasn't until half a month ago that Da Qiao knew something. Her father had already decided to marry her to Wei Shao, who had just captured Hebei at the beginning of the year. By means of marriage and the terrain of Yanzhou, she wanted to be better than Wei Shao so that she could stay in office. Under the attack of the city and the Zhou group, they got a chance to breathe.

Now that the messenger has been dispatched to Jizhou, where Wei Shao is now, the uncle is anxiously waiting for a reply from the other party.

…

"Have I disturbed you?"

Da Qiao noticed that Xiao Qiao was not asleep, and asked apologetically.

"No." Xiao Qiao said softly.

After a while, in the dark night, Xiao Qiao heard her sigh a long time, as if asking her, but also as if she was talking to herself: "Wei Hou has a grudge against my family, so he shouldn't accept this marriage. right…"

Joe was silent.

Two years ago, after the inexplicable Xiao Qiao, she secretly hoped that those things in her memory about the past life, or the future, were just a dream.

But as time passed, she was horrified to discover that it all seemed to be true.

Things were going on, step by step, at the pace she knew.

If no changes are made, then Wei Shao will accept this marriage. But after Da Qiao got married, she was destined to be ill-fated, and the ending was even more tragic than her own.

From the first day she married into the Wei family, her husband Wei Shao never touched her. Years later, Wei Shao became the emperor. At that time, the Qiao family was full of people, dying and scattered. Da Qiao swallowed gold and committed suicide. Wei Shao changed another woman as his queen.

Da Qiao ended her life like this.

Xiao Qiao groped and slowly held her cousin's hand.

Her fingers were also cold, without the slightest heat.

…

The next day, Xiao Qiao's twin brother, Qiao Ci, who was the same age and was born only a moment later than her, hurried back to Dongjun from Yancheng, and it was already night when he got home.

Xiao Qiao and Qiao Ci are two brothers and sisters, and their relationship is also very good. Although Qiao Ci was only fourteen years old, she was more than half the size of Xiao Qiao's sister, and she was already a heroic and brave boy. Two months ago, he was sent by his father Qiao Ping to Yancheng for training. Hearing that the son was back, Xiao Qiao went over to him. When I found the door of my father's study, I heard my brother's voice from far away, and it sounded very excited.

"Father! Although Rencheng Zhouqun has strong soldiers and horses, Yanzhou also has 200,000 soldiers and civilians. The defeat in the White Horse battle before was not counted, and the victory or defeat is a matter of military affairs! If we work together and fight to the death, it is not impossible to win! I would like to take the lead! I heard that my uncle was afraid, so he actually planned to ask Wei Shao for good? Wei Shao's wolf ambitions, after annexing Jizhou, the power has already arrived in Hebei, and relying on him, even if Yanzhou can get a temporary delay, how can it continue in the long run? The family has a long-standing feud, not to mention what happened to the eldest sister after she passed, how could he really help our Qiao family to overcome difficulties?"

Xiao Qiao stopped, stood at the door, looked in, and saw his father standing in front of the window with his hands behind his back, while his younger brother Qiao Ci was walking around excitedly in the study.

…

Speaking of the feud between the Qiao and Wei families, the time goes back ten years.

Wei Shao's father, Wei Jing, was a general of the third rank Huya. He was awarded the title of Marquis of Yan because of his great deeds in fighting against the Huns. Chen Jun and Li Su. Li Su was powerful and powerful. Wei Jing and Qiao Gui formed an alliance and agreed to send troops to attack Chenjun from the east and west. When he didn't want to fight, he got news that Li Su had rescued soldiers. Wei Shao was outnumbered by the crowd, and finally both fell into the siege and died. At that time, Wei Shao was only twelve years old. He also went into battle with his father and brother.

The Qiao family explained in every possible way, saying that they had already sent someone to deliver the news, but the messenger was ambushed and killed on the road, which was really helpless. During the funeral, he sent a generous gift to the Wei family.

Four years ago, the 18-year-old Wei Shao, who was called "Little Overlord" by the people at the time, personally led the troops to pursue all the way, and finally killed Li Suman on the coast of the East China Sea.

It is said that Li Su himself suffered Ling Chi first, and Wei Shao personally executed the knife. After a thousand knifes, he died. After his death, he was chopped into minced meat and fed into the belly of the fish.

It is also said that when Xiao Qiao's grandfather died soon after, Wei Shao, who was attacking Hejian at the time, heard the news and said coldly, "Old thief Haoshou, it is worthwhile to die."

The depth of Wei Shao's hatred was evident.

…

"My lord! Even you are so cowardly that you don't even dare to say a word? If you don't tell me, I'll go to my uncle to tell me!"

Seeing that his father didn't answer for a while, Qiao Ci clenched his fists and turned to go out.

"Nonsense! Stop for me!"

Qiao Ping turned around abruptly, stopped his son, and said, "Zhou Qun's army is strong, first swallowed Dongping, Cui's foundation, and ruined it. The white horse won the battle a month ago, and morale is high. Now the army is on the line, if you come again The attack, plus Wei Shao, who is eyeing Hebei, and 200,000 soldiers and civilians in Yanzhou, can you resist?"

"Is there really no other way but to rely on Wei Shao? I can't bear to marry my eldest sister like this!"

Qiao Ping pondered for a moment, then sighed: "As a father, I also know whether it is appropriate to ask Wei Shao for good. Have you tried hard to be a father? As a father once suggested that if you work with Chen Liu and Zhang Fu, you may not have a chance to win. Zhang Fu has made friends and is willing to go to lobby. It's just that your uncle and those retainers have set the master to avoid war..."

"Father! Please go and persuade Uncle again!"

Xiao Qiao couldn't help pushing the door open and knelt down to his father.

If you don't do something and let things go on like this, although the immediate worries are resolved, Da Qiao's life will be destroyed immediately, and a few years later, the entire Qiao family will also not survive. Xiao Qiao remembers that first his father died in front of the battle, and his younger brother Qiao Ci, in order to get himself and his later husband Empress Liu Yan away smoothly, gave up his life to distract the pursuers, and finally was surrounded by Wei Shao's soldiers and died of random arrows. among.

Father Qiao Ping was only thirty-five years old this year, an extremely handsome and elegant man. As the county governor of Dongjun, after the death of his mother a few years ago, he has no intention to continue, and he is busy with county affairs all day long, law enforcement is fair, and he loves the people of the county. In addition, the third generation of Qiao's family is located in Yanzhou, so he is very popular in the local area. Moreover, although my father was good at poetry, he was not a weak scholar, and when he put on a battle robe, he became a general in white robes.

In this life, with such a father and younger brother, even if she is not the original Xiao Qiao, she is not willing to lose them like this.

Qiao Ping did not expect her daughter to suddenly come in like this and kneel to him, and was stunned.

"Father, what my sister said is, please!"

Qiao Ci also thudded and knelt down beside Xiao Qiao.

Qiao Ping's brows furrowed, he looked at the window independently for a moment, and finally said, "Well, I'll persuade me again!"
