Snowy Chang'an Road

The relationship between people is very strange. If they have experienced life and death, they will naturally become closer.

This kind of encounter has happened twice.

The first time, Pei Ying was innocently implicated and was involved in a turmoil. In addition, the incident happened suddenly, and Wei Shao's reaction was beyond her expectation. It was also the first time she faced a tragic death, and she had a strong physical reaction. And the psychological shock, the double superposition, tormented her.

This time, with her previous experiences, as well as going north to sweep away the Huns and many other things, she has gradually accepted the corpse physically, and has gradually become stronger mentally.

So at this time, she was lying in Wei Shao's arms. The only obstacle in her heart was to kill someone by herself. Fortunately, the scene was not too bloody, so it did not leave a shadow on her heart.

"Wei Shao, I think I've become stronger."

Wei Shao's hand naturally stroked her hair.

"Since you married me, you have only lived a stable life for a few days, and you have been in danger at every turn. I am really ashamed of you."

"Don't say this, people's lives are destined. If Pei Sheng and I were to exchange husbands, I wouldn't want to. Although the life in the palace is rich and luxurious, and we have no worries about food and clothing, we are bound to waste away in that small world. Youth is definitely not the life I want."

"After this battle is over, we return to Chang'an. On New Year's Eve, I will light firecrackers and watch a hundred plays with you. There is a unique skill among the craftsmen in Nanyang County, which is to hit the food with an iron rod. Another iron rod filled with molten iron. The molten iron splashes everywhere in the night sky, shining like sparks all over the sky. It is very exciting. This year I will send someone to Nanyang to find this craftsman and perform an iron-forging performance for you."

Wei Shao has begun to outline a bright future in his heart. This is also a sign of emotion. Only when people are emotional will they imagine many things in the future.

While Wei Shao was speaking, Pei Ying suddenly thought of a question. She asked: "Has the identity of the assassin been found?"

"I found it. They are all dead soldiers. The Jinzhai Ganoderma lucidum from Liu'an Kingdom was found from one of them. He should be a member of King Lujiang. These people took poison before setting off. If they can't rush back to get it before the poison is released, The antidote will only lead to death. The person hidden behind the dead man has such a vicious mind and regards human life as nothing, which makes people shudder."

After hearing what Wei Shao said, Pei Ying felt confused and said, "I don't understand something."

"You said."

"I remember you said that King Lujiang is your uncle. What's more, we sent him a message and let him live. Then why did he send dead soldiers to assassinate us?"

Wei Shao sighed and said: "This is also what puzzles me. From what happened to the people of Liu'an to tonight's attack, I have begun to wonder whether I really understand this uncle. I think too much of him. It’s too simple, or I haven’t seen his essence clearly at all.”

Regarding Wei Shao's entanglement, Pei Ying never let this kind of problem bother her. She was more willing to think of a person in a bad light than to think of a good person.

However, due to the relationship between Wei Shao and Yun Zheng, she did not express her thoughts directly. She just said in his ear: "You don't have to be entangled about this matter, let alone worry about it. Since we are fighting with King Lujiang's people tonight, We have already fought against each other, and I believe that it will not be long before we fight against each other again. Whether we are enemies or friends, we will naturally understand by then."

"You are right. When the time comes, it will be clear whether they are friends or foes. All the spies in the army have been sent out to look for King Lujiang's subordinates. This time, I think, once found, we will take the initiative and attack without mercy."

During this period, what Wei Shao saw and heard, including everything he experienced, had changed his original thoughts.

"Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

"Life and death are determined by destiny. It is something destined by God. Why should we disobey God's will?"

Regardless of whether it was a misunderstanding or not, Wei Shao had a problem with Yun Zheng in his heart.

After not sleeping all night, Pei Ying felt sleepy as she lay in Wei Shao's warm arms.

In the early morning, Wei Shao slowly took his arm out from under Pei Ying's neck, and Pei Ying turned over and fell asleep again.

Wei Shao tucked him in and walked out the door quietly.

Seeing Bai Zheng boxing, he didn't interrupt. Bai Zheng was so absorbed that he didn't notice anyone looking at him.

"My lord, when did you arrive?"

"You've been working hard for most of the night, why don't you get some more sleep?"

"Your Majesty, you said that those who practice martial arts must not slack off for a day."

"What you said makes me ashamed. What I said myself, I can't even do it now." "Your Majesty, the Duke has said that your top priority right now is not to practice martial arts."

This was the first time Wei Shao heard this, and he asked curiously: "Did my grandfather tell me what is my top priority now?"

Seeing his silence, Wei Shao became interested.

"Tell me, what are you talking about? Is it so difficult to say it?"

Bai Zheng shook his head and said, "My lord, please stop asking."

"Kneel down."

Hearing Wei Shao's scolding, Bai Zheng hurriedly followed suit.

"Bai Zheng, I order you to tell the truth, otherwise I will send you back to Chang'an and you will never be allowed to lead troops on the battlefield again."

These words pierced Bai Zheng's heart, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I'm telling you, you must not send me back to Chang'an. If you don't let me go to the battlefield, you might as well kill me with one knife. A true man, If you cannot serve the imperial court and make contributions, what is the difference between this and waste?"

"Go ahead."

"The Duke said that your top priority is to give birth to a great-grandson with the princess."

Bai Zheng's voice became smaller and smaller, and his head slowly lowered. He didn't see the corner of Wei Shao's mouth that was difficult to suppress.

"Get up."

"My lord, please don't send me back to Chang'an."

"Did I say that?"

Bai Zheng looked at the prince. He thought he was dazzled. Was the prince smiling?

"I think my grandfather is right. He and my grandmother are old and want to have four generations living under one roof and enjoy family happiness. I also agree with his idea."

Bai Zheng looked at him with confusion, and Wei Shao asked, "Is there something on my face? You're staring at me like this."

Bai Zheng shook his head, saluted, turned around, and left, all in one go.

After Bai Zheng left, Deng Zhao walked to Wei Shao.

"Brother."

"How is Pei Ying?"

"She's fine. When I got up, I saw she was still asleep, so I couldn't bear to disturb her."

"Let her have a good rest. She was frightened last night and it was not easy for her to deal with it calmly."

"Yes, her performance last night was beyond my expectations. She was fast and accurate, but not ruthless enough."

Hearing what he said, Deng Zhao laughed and said, "If she is cruel enough, are you afraid?"

"afraid."

"Women, it's better to be more gentle. Look at Queen Ban Miao. She is ruthless and ruthless. Everyone in the government and the public knows this. Such a person will not end well."

Wei Shao nodded, he agreed with his cousin's view.
