MTL - The Marquis Is Innocent-Chapter 120

Jizhou has nine counties and seventy-eight counties. It guards Youzhou in the north, and faces the states in the Yellow River Basin in the south. It is very important for Wei Shao in terms of geography and strategic location.

Since the beginning of last year, Wei Shao has been busy with the Battle of Bingzhou and the westward expedition, and has never visited Jizhou in person. Now that Pingxi is over, there is nothing else to do. Before returning to Youzhou, it is natural to pass through Jizhou.

The purpose of his trip was to patrol the land and meet the prefects, county magistrates, and generals from all over Jizhou.

The next morning after arriving, he was busy. During the day, Xiao Qiao could hardly see his face.

The prefects from all over the country came one after another to pay homage to the princes.

Except for the first night, Xiao Qiao and Wei Shao had dinner together. For several days after that, Xiao Qiao ate dinner alone.

Every night in the Xin Palace, Wei Shao came back very late.

Xiao Qiao didn't expect Wei Shao to bring him here for vacation or to create any surprises.

At most, when she first started on the road, she was a little bit secretly longing for it.

After all, this is the place where the two first met and got married.

But when she got here, she put off the idea.

Not too disappointed.

She was used to passing the time by herself anyway.

During the day, I sometimes climbed the sandalwood platform like before, watching all kinds of people waiting in and out of the Xin Palace, walking in a hurry.

Or, go out for a walk too.

Of course, there must be Jia Xi guarding him.

Jia Xi has become familiar with her gradually.

He should be at most twenty-five or six years old, but he always gave Xiao Qiao an old-fashioned feeling.

Probably because he served as Captain Hu Ben at a young age, and he was taciturn.

To Xiao Qiao, he would never say unnecessary words.

Rarely look at her.

But now, when escorting Xiao Qiao out, although his attitude is still respectful, but when Xiao Qiao asks him anything, he will also have a few words with her.

…

Time passed so quickly, as if seven or eight days passed in a blink of an eye.

Finally, when it was getting dark every day, Wei Shao's figure appeared in Sheyang Curie.

He said that his business was over, and he would return to Yuyang tomorrow.

The two had dinner together.

After dinner, go back to the room and turn on the lamp. Wei Shao suddenly thought about it and said, "I've only been busy with myself these days and haven't been with you. You don't blame me, right?"

Xiao Qiao shook her head: "Why? I know my husband is busy."

Wei Shao said: "Where do you want to go, I will accompany you."

Xiao Qiao smiled: "I don't want to go anywhere..."

"I'll take you to Tantai. It's been a long time since I boarded."

Wei Shao had already held her hand back and took her out.

Xiao Qiao didn't say anything. In fact, he just got down from there in the evening. Seeing that he was in high spirits, he went with him.

Wei Shao held her hand and walked out of Sheyang Residence. The servants and maids they met along the way bowed and saluted.

Xiao Qiao was led by him, passed through an open lobby in front, and was about to step out. He suddenly stopped and glanced back.

"I was here to worship you at the beginning."

He turned back and looked at Xiao Qiao.

Xiao Qiao hooked the corners of her lips: "Do you still remember?"

Wei Shao didn't say anything, just tightened the hand under her tight sleeve that was intertwined with her fingers, and led her out.

The two stopped under the steps of Tantai.

The twilight was thick, covering the towering sandalwood platform in front of him.

Wei Shao looked up.

Tantai is more than ten feet above the ground, with a total of eighty-one high levels.

Every time Xiao Qiao goes up and climbs a section, he stops and enjoys the scenery.

Wei Shao lowered his body slightly.

Joe looked at him.

"Get on my back," he said.

Xiao Qiao said, "I don't dare to ride a prince."

Wei Shao said: "You are only allowed to drive alone."

Xiao Qiao pursed her lips and smiled, you're welcome, climbed on his shoulders, and jumped on his back.

Wei Shao held her buttocks firmly, and climbed to the top of the sandalwood platform with her back in one breath.

He let her go. He supported her waist and seated her on a sapphire stone platform with cloud dragons carved at both ends in the center of the sandalwood platform, with her feet hanging in the air.

Yutai still has the residual temperature absorbed by the undissipated daytime. Being put on it like this, with a thin layer of summer clothes, it was very comfortable against Xiao Qiao's skin.

At that time, overhead, a deep blue starry sky gradually became brighter. The wind of the summer night, blowing from all sides of the sandalwood platform, swept the broken hair on Xiao Qiao's temples, and also attacked his comfortable clothes.

Xiao Qiao took out the handkerchief and wiped the slight sweat that was oozing from his forehead for him.

With one palm on the table, he nimbly jumped to sit next to her, grabbed her wrist, and gently tugged, and Xiao Qiao leaned into his arms.

He hugged her, rubbed his chin against her forehead, and asked, "What have you been doing these days?"

Xiao Qiao said, "I won't tell you."

"Say. Don't lie to me."

"You don't like to hear it."

"Speak!" Full of domineering.

Xiao Qiao hummed, "What else can I do? I can't help but think about how you treated me when I first came here."

Wei Shao was silent.

"Have you forgotten yourself?"

Xiao Qiao put a small hand under his eyelids, pointed his fingers, and began to count.

"When I went to church with me, I could clearly see the impatience on your face! Not only did you perfunctory me, but you were still mocking me in your heart!"

"You look bad!"

Wei Shao's voice was calm.

Of course he couldn't let her know that when he first saw her at the wedding, he thought coldly that the Qiao family thought that by sending a daughter who was long enough to come over, the old account could be written off. The Qiao family are stupid, thinking that he is as stupid as them?

"You were sleeping on the bed in the bridal chamber. I woke up in the middle of the night from the cold. I wanted to get a bed to keep warm, and I accidentally woke you up. What's the matter if you pulled out your sword and pointed at me?"

"Didn't I put away the sword soon. I also gave you the bed."

Wei Shao's voice was still calm.

He couldn't let her know that she was so frightened at the time that her eyes were all rounded, but she still forced her to pretend to be calm under the tip of his sword. Thinking of it now, he still had the same feeling in his heart. It hurts, and I want to laugh a little.

"and also!"

Xiao Qiao continued to twist his fingers: "In the early morning of the next day, you are going to take me to Yuyang! Husband, your heart is really cruel..."

Wei Shao didn't argue for himself this time.

He lowered his head and stared at her, moved slowly towards her, and suddenly kissed her lips that were still talking.

Xiao Qiao hummed twice and struggled. Gradually become soft. The long kiss finally ended, and the four lips parted.

Little Joe stretched his arms around the man's broad and solid back.

"Husband, do you regret marrying me?" she asked him.

She raised her head slightly, her beautiful eyes reflecting the starlight above his head, and his heart and soul seemed to be captured together, unable to look away.

"Manman, you marry me, do you have me in your heart?"

He hoarsely asked her too.

The two didn't say anything, just looked into each other's eyes.

Wei Shao's breathing became more and more rapid, and suddenly he didn't say a word. He turned her back and pressed her onto the jade platform with the warmth of the sun, like a beast, rushing towards her.

…

The two sorted out their messy clothes and finally got off the Tantai.

Xiao Qiao's legs were a little weak, and he was wrapped around his waist by his arms, and slowly returned to Sheyang Residence all the way.

A servant girl immediately came forward to pass a message, saying that Mr. Gongsun had something to do with the prince, and he asked the prince to see him after he received the letter.

Wei Shao's face was slightly unhappy, but it quickly disappeared. Laying on the bed with Xiao Qiao in his arms, he kissed her flushed cheek, told her to go to bed first, without having to wait for him, lowered his head and straightened his clothes, then opened the door and left.

…

Gongsun Yang was waiting in the council hall. Been waiting for some time.

He went to look for it earlier, and when he learned that Wei Shao and the female monarch had gone to Tantai together, he asked him not to rush. After leaving a message, I came here by myself and waited patiently.

With his hands behind his back, he paced up and down slowly, thinking heavily.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of vigorous footsteps, and turned around to see that Wei Shao had already strode in. Hastily greeted him.

Wei Shao went in and took a seat, and said directly, "Sir, wait for a long time. It's getting late, what else do you need to find me?"

Gongsun Yang said: "I shouldn't have disturbed Junhou Qingjing at this time. It was only just now that the messenger Yang Xin arrived overnight and sent the news. I thought it would be better to report to Junhou as soon as possible."

When Wei Shao heard that it was related to Yang Xin, his expression immediately became serious, he leaned forward slightly, and asked, "What happened?"

Gongsun Yang presented a battle report.

A month ago, according to Wei Shao's instructions, Yang Xin stationed troops in Shidi, and Xue'an was in Xiaqiu, one north and one south, to attack the refugee leader Bishe.

Bi She is trapped.

Yang Xin originally thought that the refugee army was like a turtle in a urn, and it would be difficult to get out of trouble. Unexpectedly, Bi She selected the men and horses, imitated the flag and uniform of Xue An Xuzhou Army, and took the initiative to drive to the land, and finally merged with Yang Xin.

Yang Xin never dreamed that Bi She would dare to welcome him. At first, he mistakenly thought that it was indeed Xue An's troops, but he was not sure what the purpose of Xue An's leading troops was here.

In this campaign, Yang Xin was defeated and lost.

Bi She now not only holds the Lingbi, but also holds the land.

Yang Xin's situation is unfavorable. Unsure of what to do next, a messenger was sent to tell him.

Wei Shao swept the battle report sent by Yang Xin with one glance and ten lines, his face suddenly gloomy, and he threw it heavily on the ground with a "smack", angrily said: "Yang Xin is so incompetent! He can't even win the leader of a mere refugee! "
