"Why shouldn't you?" She pushed his hand away, even though the heat in his hands made her tremble, and took a half step back to avoid suspicion.
As she stepped back, she felt severe pain in her left foot. Half of her body fell to the side unsteadily, and one hand held her waist firmly.
The injury I suffered a few days ago is still not fully healed, and my foot was sprained again today.
Wei Cheng's warm breath sprayed on her neck, causing her to tremble slightly. The sound of the armor's scales rubbing was a bit harsh, like scratching on the tip of her heart.
There are many people here. After cleaning up the Qiang people, dozens of well-trained sergeants looked around, but no one looked here.
Wei Cheng frowned slightly and did not answer when he heard her stubborn and somewhat retorted question.
He just felt that women should stay at home peacefully, how could she be like this, running all over the mountains and plains like a man? If he had come a moment later, he might not have seen her as a living person.
Shen Yinxiao was embarrassed by his look, and turned his head uncomfortably, leaving him with pursed lips and a slightly pale profile.
There was a gap between the two of them.
Now that we have agreed to separate, it is better to make a clean break.
"Yinxiao!" Lanti's voice came from behind, with the surprise of rebirth after a disaster.
Shen Yinxiao turned around, and the disgraced girl ran toward her with her skirt in hand. When the girl saw Wei Cheng, her expression suddenly stopped, and her happy smile disappeared instantly.
Wei Cheng felt even more depressed for no reason.
What did Shen Yinxiao say behind his back?
She took a few steps forward and gave a Qiang salute: "Thank you, Mr. Wei, please tell me..."
"Someone has been sent to deliver the letter." Wei Cheng intercepted her words and raised his hand slightly.
Wei Ning spoke from behind: "Ms. Beigong, the carriages and horses are ready. Our people will take you to the leader of Beigong as soon as possible."
Lan Ti glanced at Shen Yinxiao, took her hand, and said, "I didn't hide anything from you on purpose, but it was forced by the situation. My name is Beigong Lanxi, and my brother is the leader of the Beinan Qiang people."
After saying that, she deliberately glanced at Wei Cheng who was standing aside, and continued: "If you need me in the future, just tell me that you have saved my family and your kindness to the Qiang people. I will not let others go in vain." bully you."
Behind Lan Xi, Niu Li, Mo Ya and others knelt down and respectfully performed the Qiang salute to Shen Yinxiao.
This is a great gift that can only be given to the savior and leader on the grassland.
Shen Yinxiao was a little flattered, but he also knew that this was their courtesy and did not hide.
Shen Yinxiao could feel that the temperature around Wei Cheng suddenly became a little colder.
He doesn't like women related to him to have too much to do with political affairs.
Wei Cheng took a deep look at Lan Ti, and Shen Yinxiao moved a step to the left, blocking Wei Cheng and Lan Xi, and said with a warm smile: "Okay."
"In that case, I won't say any more thanks. I'll go back first, persuade my brother to withdraw his troops, and tell him Xianling Qiang's conspiracy to prevent the tribe from getting into troubled waters."
"A'duo is seriously injured. Let her stay with me to recuperate. We'll talk about it after she recovers. You go back first."
When Aduo was going down the mountain, he accidentally rolled down and fell on a boulder. He probably broke his calf.
"Okay, take care."
Lan Xi let go of Shen Yinxiao and without looking at Wei Cheng, she passed Wei Cheng without squinting and led the people to the carriage.
Lan Xi left.
Shen Yinxiao forced out a smile and said, "Then I'll go too."
Wei Cheng said nothing.
She took it as a nod and turned to go down the mountain.
Wei Ning took a step forward and stopped her: "Let's escort the lady back."
Shen Yinxiao shook his head at Wei Ning: "I rode a horse."
"Send her back." Wei Cheng said calmly with his back to Shen Yinxiao.
The tone was cold.
Shen Yinxiao's nose was slightly sour.
In front of others, he was gentle and gentle to Wang Yuanjun, talking and smiling, but he always looked indifferent and indifferent to her.
"Ms. Shen did us a big favor this time."
Wei Ning said specifically on the way.
"At least it saved the Youzhou Army nearly 10,000 troops and material resources."
"Young Master doesn't say it, but he knows it in his heart."
He was speaking for Wei Cheng.
Shen Yinxiao smiled: "It was an unintentional move. General Wei said this to offend me."
"We're almost at my house. General, please go back. I'll go back by myself."
——
Wei Cheng won a great victory in his first battle.
For some reason, the Xianling Qiang and the Beinan Qiang who were already united started an internal strife. The leader of the Beinan Qiang beheaded the head of a Xianling Qiang general in public and hung it outside the camp gate. The next day, He took his tribe with him and withdrew his troops.
Wei Cheng led his troops straight into the hinterland of the Xianling Qiang and captured the leader's entire clan alive. Anyone who resisted was executed on the spot.
Erlang of the Wei family had a reputation for being ruthless and was out of control from then on.
The next month, the imperial court granted Wei Cheng the title of Colonel Protecting the Qiang, with a reward of one thousand taels.
A grand banquet was held at the ancestral residence of the Wei family to entertain celebrities and dignitaries in Youzhou. It was called to celebrate the victory in the war, but the actual meaning is self-evident.
This is announcing that Wei Cheng will be the future lord of Youzhou.
It was also made for relatives of the Wei family, including Wei Cheng's cousin, Wei Zheng.
It was one afternoon when Shen Yinxiao heard the news, and Yunxian was also invited to this grand banquet.
Nobles from well-known families hosted banquets and entertained them, and they also liked to invite some famous prostitutes to add some extravagance.
Shen Yinxiao felt a little far away from him and smiled.
A'duo's injury healed quickly, and he could walk with a crutch in less than a month. It was estimated that he would be able to walk freely in another half a month. Shen Yinxiao asked her what her plans were, and A'duo was silent for a long time.
She had been a slave since she was a child, doing the lowest menial work. She thought her life would just go by like this, marrying a slave and giving birth to a little slave, with no lofty plans.
Now her grandfather died on the road trying to cover her escape. If she goes back, she will have no relatives left.
Shen Yinxiao asked tentatively: "Why don't you stay here and help me?"
A'duo bit her lip and her eyes turned red: "I am clumsy and have never read a book. Madam, please don't dislike me."
"You are very smart. Although you are illiterate, you can calculate accounts very clearly. I am short of people here. You can stay and help me a lot."
Aduo officially stayed in the Shen family.
On this cold day, there were quite a few people coming to buy snacks. A Duo was cashing out in the store, and Shen Yinxiao sat down by the window, brewing a pot of tea, carrying a plate of snacks, and reading slowly while holding a book.
It's a pity that the quiet years are always delusional, and uninvited guests come uninvited.
"Chen Yinxiao——" A hoarse voice came from the door, and the wretched and cold smile made people's hair stand on end.
Shen Yinxiao put down the book and sighed.
Still found it.
She had imagined it many times in the past few days, and now that she had actually encountered it, she was not as nervous as she was at the beginning, and only felt cold in her heart.
