Chapter 3: Bi Zhi
After their father left, Xiao Qiao and Qiao Ci waited restlessly. Half an hour later, they saw him return. Qiao Ci greeted him and asked, Father, did you convince Uncle?
When Xiao Qiao saw his fathers frown, his heart went cold. Sure enough, Qiao Ping shook his head and said: Your uncle is determined to make peace, Im afraid he cant be persuaded!
Qiao Ci went outside, but was stopped by Qiao Ping: Stop! This matter ends here. It is useless to talk anymore!
Qiao Ci froze, his expression depressed.
Qiao Ping paused, his tone slowed down a bit, and said, The Wei family may not accept this marriage. Lets wait and see. If it doesnt happen, then Ill mention again about contacting Chen Liu, and I think your uncle wont object.
Although he said this, but when Xiao Qiao heard it, she felt her father did not hold any big expectations.
Qiao Ci believed it and looked forward to it.
Qiao Ping looked at Xiao Qiao, hesitated and said: Man Man, stay with your sister more, persuade her to be more relaxed. We may not settle the marriage. Even if it does, Wei Shao is a young man with a heroic reputation. He is an overlord. And I heard he is handsome, so he is a good match.
That night, Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao slept in the same bed again. Xiao Qiao could see that Da Qiao had a heavy heart, but she still smiling in front of her. She mentioned nothing about marriage, so she was even more upset.
Her father asked her to comfort Da Qiao. But she felt that all words of comfort were pale and useless.
The two sisters slept face to face. In the dim night, Xiao Qiao heard her cousins voice coming through: Man Man, you havent met with Heir Liu for some time, have you?
The Heir Liu, as Big Qiao calls him, is Xiao Qiaos current fianc, her previous-life husband, the future emperor Liu Yan, named Maoqing. But now, Liu Maoqing is still an unappreciated eldest son in the Han Dynastys state of Langya. When he was thirteen years old, his stepmother, in order to assist her sons promotion, slandered him in front of his father, saying that he had molested her. The King of Langya, who favored his young son, listened to the slander. He abolished Liu Yan as a commoner and expelled him from Langya. Because his aunt was Xiao Qiaos aunt, he came to Yanzhou and stay.
The Han Dynasty was in decline. In the imperial capital of Luoyang, the 14-year-old young emperor, who was helped to the throne seven years ago by Prime Minister Xing Xun, was like a puppet. Prime Minister Xing Xun held the actual power. Even the emperor was like this, let alone the Liu family in the fiefdom. They had no credibility in front of the local warlords, who had their own troops. The Qiao family was not afraid of the King of Langya and took Liu Yan in.
Qiao Ping, who took care of him, liked him so much. Three years ago, when he was eighteen years old, the King of Langya listened to his ministers and realized that he had wronged his eldest son and regretted his actions, so he took him back. Soon afterwards, the King of Langya sent an envoy to Yanzhou and wanted to propose a marriage between Liu Yan and Xiao Qiao.
Qiao Ping had already seen that his daughter Xiao Qiao and Liu Yan were in love. He asked Xiao Qiao and saw that she was shy, so he knew she was willing.
He didnt know whether his beloved, the high and noble lady, would come here to meet him. But he still came here to wait.
His heart, at this moment, is burning a flame. The flame is weak but enough to warm him.
When he was born, one of his eyes was green and glowing at night. His parents thought it was demonic. They were terrified and left him in a pigpen near the Qiao family horse farm. In the freezing weather, he did not freeze to death. The pigs mother took him into the pigpen. Drink the pigs milk and survived. The horsemen thought he was odd and reported him to the family. He was kept in the stable and raised as a slave.
He had no surname and no name. Because they threw him in the pigpen at birth, Bi Zhi became his name.
Xiao Qiao followed her and saw the young man who came out of the shadows embraced her cousin. She broke away as if she was saying something to him.
Her heart suddenly understood.
In the previous life, not long after Da Qiao got married, this slave named Bi Zhi also disappeared. The Qiao family had hundreds of servants. The absence of one person attracted little attention from the head of the family. When the search was unsuccessful, it was stopped.
A few years later, the drought in the south of the Yangtze River led to chaos. The refugees roamed everywhere. They were becoming thieves. Among them, a green-eyed bandit rose, swallowed all the forces, and became a major figure. He took over Huaiyin and appointing himself as the commander.
Xing Xun of Luoyang sent soldiers and horses to besiege, but was defeated. Combined with the tight war with Wei Shao, the matter was closed, and they left him to encircle the land.
Later, when Wei Shao had defeated Xing Xun and seized Luoyang, he could dominate the Central China. But the green-eyed bandit, who had always been a loner, suddenly volunteered to join Liu Yan, who had been made emperor of Han by a group of loyal ministers in Yongdu. Liu Yan, who was short of soldiers and generals, was overjoyed and made him the King of Huaiyin, who then became an enemy of Wei Shao.
If not for the King of Huaiyins counterattack, who appeared out of nowhere, the schedule for Wei Shao to take over the world could have been at least two years earlier.
The ultimate outcome of this King of Huaiyin is also quite legendary.
After the last battle of Weinan, which determined the winner of the world, the King of Huaiyin disappeared. Some say he was dead, others say he plucked out an eye and disfigured himself and fled. Wei Shao hated this man so much that he offered a reward of thousands of gold and ten thousand households, and ordered him to be found alive or dead. But nothing happened.
It was only six months later when the news reached Wei Shao. Someone seemed to have seen a man with the appearance of King Huaiyin appearing near the ancestral tomb of the Wei family.
Wei Shao rushed over, but did not detect any unusual features. Then it was discovered that someone had broken the deserted tomb outside the mausoleum. The cave of yellow earth was empty, with the coffin nowhere to be found.
Wei Shao abolished the Qiaos daughter. After her death, she could not enter the Weis mausoleum. So, they buried her in the grave outside the mausoleum.
