Chapter 37:

The second half of the night. The bed is soft, and the nose smells some faint fragrance, soothing the soul.

After half a month in the countryside, Wei Shao returned home, but tonight, he could not sleep well.

But the Qiao girl beside him had long fallen asleep.

He only closed his eyes for the first half of the night. After waking up, he could not sleep anymore. He had opened his eyes more than once to look at the person beside him.

Those things that happened during the day piled up in his heart, and there was an inexplicable fire in his body that wont go away.

He closed his eyes for a moment, opened them, and turned his face toward her.

The two of them have always slept with their own blankets. Whenever she slept, her quilt was always pressed, and wrapping herself up tightly. Tonight was the same.

The room was dim. But one can still see her body is curled into a ball, wrapped in the quilt and not moving, like a soft cat.

The fire in Wei Shaos body grew stronger as he watched her figure outlined by the hazy night that night came back to his mind. It was also in this bed that she did those things for him.

Now he is in need again. Not only that, but it feels so strong that it is simply impossible to suppress it by himself anymore.

The last time he saw she was in pain and had some sympathy. He let it go in a moment of weakness.

Although she is the daughter of the Qiao family and he does not want to touch her at all, she is the woman his grandmother had given him to marry. If his grandmother knew he had not slept with her yet, she would have blamed him.

Wei Shao decided not to hold it any longer.

Coincidentally, in her sleep, Xiao Qiao dreamed of something. Wei Shao heard her mumble like she had a dumpling in her mouth and rolled over toward him.

Two soft lumps pressed his arms. Through the blanket, he could feel comfortable feeling.

A hot stream rushed through his body, and Wei Shao shivered. He raised his legs and hooked her legs. He stretched his hand around her waist and dragged her whole body into his arms.

When Xiao Qiao arrived in this place, she never dreamed of her previous life at night as she did in the Qiao family.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

After she figured out the reason for Wei Shaos unhappiness, she was relieved.

If he really wanted to be angry with her, there was nothing she could do. She did not ask his grandmother to pick her up.

It was tiring to inscribe the murals during the day. When she returned, her arms and shoulders were sore. She laid down and felt the soreness spread throughout her whole body. Her eyelids drooped, and she fell asleep.

Xiao Qiao is very flexible. Her legs were raised high. A loud pop, like a slap, seemed to kick Wei Shao right in the face.

He gave a muffled grunt.

Xiao Qiao did not expect her own accuracy and precisely kicked him in the face. She was a bit afraid and hurriedly put down her shivering legs. She said with a trembling voice: You hurt me. Cant you be gentler a bit

At this time, there is a rush of footsteps outside the door. On this silent night, it sounds very clear to the ear.

Marquis! General Wei has arrived from Shiyi, saying he has an urgent military report for you!

A voice said outside the door.

General Wei was naturally Wei Liang.

Wei Shaos figure immediately froze.

Xiao Qiao kicked him hard, and the accuracy was so good that she kicked him in the face. She was a bit afraid. When she heard the news, she was relieved and hurriedly urged him: General Wei arrived in the middle of the night, husband quickly go to see, do not delay the important things!

Her voice was trembling, and she was breathing heavily.

Wei Shao was kneeling on one knee between her legs and stopped for a moment. He lifted the curtain and jumped off the bed. He quickly dressed and left Xiao Qiao behind.

Xiao Qiao pricked her ears and heard him whispering something to the person who came to deliver the message, and the sound of footsteps soon disappeared.

She exhaled a long breath and touched her chest. It was soaked with sweat.

Some because of the pressure, some because of the pain.

Wei Liang, who had already recovered from his injuries, brought a letter from Gongsun Yang from Shiyi to Yuyang a few days ago and arrived just a few moments ago. He asked to open the city gate and enter the city. He could not wait until dawn and barged straight in.

Wei Shao received him in his study.

Wei Liang kneeled down on one knee and gave him a military salute. He took out Gongsun Yangs letter from his bosom and handed it over with both hands. It is an urgent military situation, so I call the Marquis at this hour. Please forgive me! He said.

Wei Shao said nothing and took the letter in his hand. He unfolded and scanned it at a glance, and his expression became grave.

He asked Wei Liang to get up.

Wei Liang got up and said: According to the spy report, Chen Xiang of Bingzhou has gathered 150,000 soldiers and horses and is preparing to attack Shiyi. He betrothed one of his daughters to Xuzhou Xue Tais fifth son. Besides the trousseau, he sent 100,000 drachms of grain and 1,000 taels of gold to Xue Tai to attack Yanzhou, and they made an alliance. The Marquis married Yanzhou Qiaos daughter. If Yanzhou is in danger, they would ask the Marquis for support. If Marquis send troops to help Yanzhou, Shiyi will be in danger and cannot compete with Chen Xiangs 150,000 men. If Marquis does not save Yanzhou, then Yanzhou will be destroyed. The marriage between the Marquis and Qiaos daughter will be ruined, and people will criticize Marquis. Save or not to save, this is Chen Xiangs strategy to make the best of a critical situation. How will Marquis respond?
