Da Qiao was stunned, and then her face showed surprise, “Husband’s meaning is that Yang Xin is now taking matters into his own hands and attacking behind Marquis of Yan’s back?”

She climbed up with a bolt, “I’ll go write to my younger sister and ask her to inform Marquis of Yan ……”

Bi Zhi pulled his agitated wife back and let her lie down while gazing at her beautiful eyes. He smiled bitterly and shook his head.

“Did I say wrong? Husband, you do not have to feel embarrassed. If my younger sister knows, she will help us!” Da Qiao looked at her husband in disbelief.

Bi Zhi lovingly stroked his wife’s hair, pondered, and said, “If my guess is correct, Yang Xin suddenly turned against me on the order of the Marquis of Yan.”

Da Qiao was taken aback and looked at her husband in a daze.

“My brother-in-law-” she hesitated, “Why would Marquis of Yan want to fight against you?”

Bi Zhi did not speak.

……

After learning that Yang Xin had joined Wei Shao, Bi Zhi brooded about this question repeatedly.

If they talk about their personal grudge, he could only mention the misunderstanding-fight outside Hu Village when he came to pick up his wife. At that time, he suffered a small wound on his arm. But Bi Zhi concluded that he would never mobilize his troops to attack him because of such minor friction caused by misunderstanding. He would not have been able to hold such an important military position at such a young age if he was so narrow-minded, even if he was noble and had many good ministers and generals under him. Since it was not out of a personal grudge, then it was for his overall plan.

Bi Zhi had long heard of Wei Shao’s reputation. Not long ago, he took the remaining power of Pingxi and annexed Feng Zhao. He pointed his sword at the world and intended to compete for the throne. All of these were public secrets.

Apart from Wei Shao, there are still Xing Xun, Yuan Zhe, Le Zheng Gong, etc. These lords have reached that high status, each with soldiers in hand, and by the time the Han dynasty is running out of gas, which one does not want to fight for the throne?

But what confused Bi Zhi is why Wei Shao immediately set his eyes on him after returning from Pingxi. Although he occupied a place and had some men and horses under his command, his strength was far from comparable to those of warlords. Lingbi was not like Xuzhou, which was a strategic location.

Wei Shao left behind many enemies that were clearly more worthy of him to deal with and directly pointed the spearhead at his little piece of Lingbi. He really could not understand why.

……

“Husband ……”

Da Qiao was worried but even more in disbelief. Seeing her husband’s pensive silence, she called out to him.

“Maybe that person is slandering Marquis of Yan and deliberately creating a divergence? Marquis of Yan married my younger sister. She told me that the Marquis of Yan treated her very well. You never offended him, so why did he send Yang Xin to attack?”

Da Qiao was gentle and kind, always thinking the best of people. Wei Shao was her younger sister’s husband. She did not want this to happen.

Bi Zhi said, “There should be no mistake. I’ve never interacted with Marquis of Yan, so there’s no cause for disagreement. Perhaps Marquis of Yan intend to take over Xuzhou, but I am in the way.”Da Qiao’s heart was suddenly in turmoil, stunned for a while, then murmured: “If it is true, I do not know if my younger sister knows about this. If she knows …… I’m afraid she’ll argue with Marquis of Yan ……”

She suddenly climbed up again and grabbed her husband’s arm, “Husband, return Xiaodi to Yang Xin! After returning Xiaodi, he should not attack again, right? I don’t want you to fight anymore!”

Bi Zhi said: “I sent a message to Yang Xin yesterday, conveying this intention. But from Yang Xin’s tone, he seemed to want to take away Lingbi too before he gives up!”

Da Qiao froze, her face slightly pale.

Bi Zhi said comfortingly: “Ah Fan, I did not tell you about this to not make you worry. But I’m afraid that if you know about it later, you will blame me, so I told you.”

Da Qiao looked at him in a daze: “What is your next step?”

Bi Zhi slowly sat up.

“Ah Fan, I wedded you, and now I have Li’er. In this chaotic world, I only want to have a place to live, to keep you and Li’er safe. If I can, I will leave everything here and go to the mountains to live in seclusion with you. But I can’t help it. I’ve come to this point. I can’t just leave everything here and go away with you. Marquis of Yan may have misunderstood me. Since the person behind Yang Xin is him, I will talk to him directly. I want to send a letter to him. Explain that I have no intention to oppose and obstruct his plans for the world. If there is any misunderstanding, he should consider it. If he believes me, it is best. If he still sees me as an enemy, I will not be afraid of him. Even though he is strong, I will do my best to fight back!”

He gazed at Da Qiao and gently took her into his arms.

“But this is a bit sorry for you. From now on, I’m afraid it won’t be as convenient as before for you to communicate with your sister.”

Da Qiao leaned into her husband’s firm embrace. After a long silence, she said, “Husband, I will write a letter to my younger sister. Ask the messenger to bring it along. It would be best if we could solve the misunderstanding between you and the Marquis of Yan. If not, then I can only ask my sister for help.”

“I don’t want you to be enemies with the Marquis of Yan. I expect that my younger sister thinks so too. I didn’t want to bother my younger sister either. But I thought it was better to let her know as early as possible, lest things get too big and unmanageable. The last time she came to see me, from her tone, I thought that the Marquis of Yan was very fond of her. Marquis of Yan should be willing to listen to her persuasion.”

Da Qiao said.
