Jiu Zhang Ji: The Daily Life of the Reborn Daughter

Chapter 193: The two of them once ate and lived together, and were close to each other.

Qiao Peng returned to his own courtyard in the Duke Dingguo's mansion, washed his hands, and opened the letter. There was only one line of words written on it, or rather only three words, "To propose marriage."

Qiao Peng took a long time to catch his breath. Miss Xiao asked him to propose marriage. Miss Xiao asked him to propose marriage. What was this between him and Miss Xiao? Was it that “even though they didn’t have the wings of a phoenix to fly together, their hearts were connected with each other”?

She actually knew what he was thinking.

She knew that he liked her and asked him to propose marriage. How did she know that? If Xiao Wenchu ​​or her little maid Siyu knew that he thought so, they would definitely sneer at him. Did he think that he was doing it in a very secretive way, following her openly or secretly, standing in the alley in front of her house like a husband-waiting stone, without anyone noticing? Xiao Wenchu ​​was not an ordinary boudoir girl. In fact, Xiao Wenchu ​​and the people who protected her knew about it when he showed up on the first day.

The woman Qiao Peng likes is Xiao Wenchu.

Qiao Peng and Duke Dingguo guarded the West Gate, Xiao Wenchu ​​and King Zhenbei guarded the northern border. The two places were not close to each other, but much closer than the capital, so it was more convenient for them to exchange information and share what they had than the capital. When Qiao Peng went deep into the enemy's territory, news of his disappearance was indeed reported. After King Zhenbei received the military report, he sent troops to support them, and the young general leading the troops was Xiao Wenchu.

Xiao Wenchu ​​had always been dressed as a man in the military camp.

Qiao Peng went behind enemy lines and hid his tracks, but Xiao Wenchu, who went deep into the enemy camp to look for him, was in danger and was rescued by Qiao Peng. This is how it is on the battlefield, you save me and I save you, and it is all considered a matter of course, and the life-saving graces in daily life are not taken seriously.

After the two teams met, they became one team. Qiao Pengli's great contribution was also due to Xiao Wenchu's contribution.

However, it was not allowed to write in the battle report that Prince Zhenbei secretly sent troops to support Duke Dingguo. This matter could be a big or small matter. It could be a good thing or treason. It all depended on how the person with ulterior motives handled it. With the principle of less trouble is worse than more, Duke Dingguo and Prince Zhenbei concealed the news together.

The two armies became one, and there had to be only one commander, and that was Qiao Peng. The days of hiding behind enemy lines were very hard. Qiao Peng and Xiao Wenchu ​​often lived in the same tent, ate from the same bowl, and even gnawed on the same piece of dry food.

When the mission was completed and they returned to Xiguan City, both of them were as thin as firewood sticks. Duke Dingguo knew that Xiao Wenchu ​​was a woman, so he immediately gave Qiao Peng two whips, blaming him for not taking good care of Xiao Wenchu.

These two whips awakened Qiao Peng. For the first time, he felt not pain but heartbeat when the whips hit his body.

Duke Dingguo asked Xiao Wenchu ​​to stay in Xiguan for some time to recuperate. Qiao Peng, who had always eaten, slept and been close to Xiao Wenchu, suddenly didn't know how to get along with her. He missed her when they were not together, and felt awkward when they met. He used to talk to Xiao Wenchu ​​about everything, but now he had nothing to talk to her about.

When he finally figured out what he was thinking and wanted to find Xiao Wenchu ​​to confess his feelings, he learned that Xiao Wenchu ​​had received a letter from the capital the day before, saying that Princess Zhenbei was ill and she rode back to the capital overnight.

It was several days later when Qiao Peng received the order to return to the capital. He abandoned all the soldiers who were accompanying him and only took his personal captain with him to chase day and night, but in the end he failed to catch up.

It was only later that he recognized the carriage that Xiao Wenchu ​​was riding in, and then he remembered that the carriage parked next to Shili Pavilion on the day he came back belonged to Xiao Wenchu ​​from the Zhenbei Palace. It turned out that Miss Xiao also went to pick him up that day.

He was so ecstatic at that time that he rode his horse around the Zhenbei Palace several times. However, he didn't even know which courtyard Xiao Wenchu ​​lived in. He wanted to climb over the wall and visit her at night, but he didn't know where she was. Of course, he couldn't do that.

The lights in Qiao Peng's yard were on all night. He was making a lot of noise in his study, and no one knew what he was doing. The next morning, he didn't even go to the martial arts arena. Qiao Zhen and Qiao Lili could only practice martial arts with their master and Shang Zhen. You know, after Qiao Peng came back to Duke Dingguo's Mansion, he was the one who taught Qiao Zhen and Qiao Lili martial arts most of the time.

Qiao Peng was guarding the gate of Zhenxia Courtyard, and as soon as the gate opened, he went in to find Nanny Hui.

"Mammy, has my grandmother woken up yet?" As Mammy Hui lifted the curtain from the inner room, she saw the eldest son with red eyes and asked in a low and excited voice.

"Not yet, it will take about half an hour." Madam Hui looked at the sky, and then looked at the eldest master who was very different from usual. "Eldest master, you have something urgent to do. How about I go and wake up the young lady? The young lady slept well last night."

"It's urgent." Seeing Nanny Hui's face change slightly, Qiao Peng quickly said, "It's not that urgent. Just wait until grandma wakes up." If we go now, the door of the Zhenbei Palace may not be open. It would be too rude.

"This?" Both anxious and not anxious, Qiao Peng's words made the usually calm and steady Nanny Hui a little confused. However, it would be best not to shout, as the young lady's schedule should not be disrupted.

Qiao Peng didn't want to explain any more, so he held out his hand to support Madam Hui and said, "Go ahead and do whatever you want. I'll wait here for Grandma to wake up."

"Okay, then I'll go to the kitchen to check on the young lady's breakfast." Madam Hui followed the strength of his hand and, using her old legs that were not very flexible after getting up so early, went to the kitchen.

As the young lady gets older, she must sleep well and eat well. She does these two things herself and dares not let others do them.

Qiao Lili came back late last night and went to bed late. She was still yawning when she arrived at the small martial arts arena. When she got there, she saw only Qiao Zhen running. She looked around but didn't see her brother. If she had known that her brother would not come today, she would have taken a day off. She was too sleepy. Today was a day off, so she didn't have to go to court.

Shang Zhen knew clearly what happened yesterday. He knew that Qiao Lili was not in a very good mood, so he was a little slack in her training tasks today. Therefore, throughout the morning, only little Qiao Zhen was training seriously and did not slack off.

Last night, Qiao Lili was in a much better mood after Yu Jingyan's persuasion. Yu Jingyan said, "Ah Li, think about it, what Mie Yan did is definitely not a serious organization. It is certain that he wants to harm you and Aunt Wen, so his demise should be considered a good thing."

"No more children will be captured and trained to be killing machines, or trained to be spies like Lou Xinyue to do things that go against the will of heaven. Isn't that a good thing? It has been two years since it was destroyed. How many children have they captured in these two years? How many innocent families have suffered catastrophic disasters? Now, there will be no more."

"And those trained killers who would kill so many innocent people, these will no longer exist."

"Think about it again. Those unidentified people destroyed the evil forces like Mieyan, so they must be on the side of justice. Maybe, these people are related to Aunt Wen, it's hard to say."

Is it related to the mother?

Qiao Lili danced with her spear with great vigor and she finally flew forward and stabbed back, making a hole in the stone pillar beside the martial arts field. Shang Zhen shouted, "Great!"

The young master's martial arts are improving rapidly, no wonder his parents are the descendants of the Langshan School. The three brothers and sisters are all talented in martial arts.

"Are they my mother's people?" Qiao Lili asked this question in her heart, but no one gave her an answer. She jumped into the air, turned around and stabbed the stone pillar beside the martial arts field with the gun in her hand.
