Chapter 139.1
From the end of last year, this battle for supremacy in the Yellow River region between Wei Shao and Xing Xun became the attention of the worlds lords.
Spies traveled east to west, north to south, sending the latest news to the lords as quickly as possible.
Qiao Ping was more concerned about the battle than anyone else. He had never heard Wei Shao call him father-in-law even though his daughter had been married to him for so long. All of Qiao Pings impressions of his son-in-law are still only relying on the words of others. But from the bottom of his heart, he had unconsciously started to feel affection for the son-in-law whom he had never met. In several correspondences with his daughter, when she mentioned this man, her tone was slowly no longer like before, merely a vague name. Her emotions mixed in between her lines of words.
Qiao Ping was an excellent scholar and military man. Except for military affairs, he was a great scholar and loved his daughter genuinely. His heart was much more sensitive than the average fathers. Even if his daughter did not explicitly say it, he could feel she should have agreed that this man had become her husband. Not to mention that now, she was about to have a child. He naturally paid close attention to the changes in the war.
He sent scouts, which sent the latest news about the war to the East County every few days. There was never any delay.
But after he finished the battle at Juye and returned to the East County, the latest news was still the same as half a month ago; because of bad weather, Wei Shao and the allied forces of Xing Xun and Le Zheng Gong continued to confront each other at the Yellow River. Wei Shao was at a disadvantage.
Both this news and the matter of the late return of the scouts made Qiao Ping feel uneasy. He sent out new scouts.
While anxiously waiting for the latest news this day, they were celebrating Qiao Yues birthday and the triumph of Qiao Pings father and son.
The Qiao family generals and soldiers gathered at the banquet hall tonight. During the banquet, people were so excited that before it was over, some people were sent out drunk one after another.
All the people in the room were cheerful except Qiao Ci. He drank sullenly and remained silent. Zhang Pu smiled and said: We are happy to win the battle. Moreover, it is Lords birthday. We should not return tonight without getting drunk, but why is young master depressed?
Qiao Ci ignored him.
Qiao Yue still had a sullen face and did not make a sound.
Zhang Pu said: How can you be so disrespectful to the Lord? Bi Zhi was just a runaway slave of the Qiao family. Lord does not punish him is already merciful. Wont we become a laughing stock if we accept him again?
I only know that the times create heroes! The time has come to accept such heroes, but instead of accepting them, we are pushing them away based on their origin! No wonder Yanzhou has fallen to this state and has to rely on sending women to others to save their noses! Qiao Ci laughed coldly.
The moment these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly froze.
Qiao Yues face changed.
How dare you! The older you get, the more disrespectful you are! How dare you blatantly challenge me for a horse slave!
Qiao Yue was so angry that he struck his palm on the face of the desk and shouted sternly.
Qiao Ping was helpless about his eldest brothers insistence on not accepting Bi Zhi as his son-in-law. He could only slowly persuade him again.
Qiao Ping knew that his son had just sent Bi Zhi away and was in a depressed mood, so he spoke out against Qiao Yue, but he could not bear to scold him. He said, Cier is drunk. Withdrew!
Qiao Ci stared fiercely at Zhang Pu, got up from the seat, turned around, and walked out of the banquet hall.
Qiao Ping said, Please dont blame him, elder brother. Cier has received kindness from General Green Eyes. General Green Eyes helped Yanzhou to solve its difficulties, yet he couldnt even enter the gates of East County. He drank some wine just now, so I think he was upset, and thats why he caused trouble. Ill talk to him when I get back.
