[Three Kingdoms] I am the queen of the Great Wei Dynasty

A Sheng cursed inwardly, his face sank quickly, not daring to meet the cold and triumphant gazes of Yuan Shao and those counselors.

"Madam Bian is a lonely guest, why didn't you dare to accept this general's kind invitation just now?" Yuan Shao suddenly laughed, his voice was slightly hoarse, and he lowered his tone on purpose.

"I would like to thank Yuan Jizhou for her kindness, but how dare I pretend to be a guest of Jizhou? I'm afraid it would be more appropriate to be a prisoner? In other words, my concubine is at best a hostage. You must have the same idea, Yuan Jizhou."

In fact, she was trembling with nervousness, and her back was soaked in cold sweat, but she still pretended to be calm on the surface, and raised her eyes to meet him sarcastically.

Being told so bluntly, Yuan Shao was not sullen. Instead, he raised his eyebrows and clapped his hands and laughed: "Madam Bian's guess is not bad. Soldiers are deceitful, and orphans are not saints. Naturally, they are not afraid of others' criticism if they use some low-level tricks. .”

"It's a pity that Yuan Jizhou made the wrong calculation!" A Sheng stared at him, "You and Cao Mengde have had a deep friendship since childhood, and you know him no less than your concubine. You know very well that he is not the one who would make concessions for a woman. .”

Yuan Shao raised his eyebrows: "However, there are no exceptions - that is Mrs. Bian. Why don't Mrs. Bian guess, what will Cao Mengde's reaction be when he finds out that you have become an orphaned guest? Will he be so anxious that he can't wait for you?" What about the price of retreating in exchange for a safe and sound Bian Sheng?"

A Sheng was just about to open his mouth to mock him, when suddenly, there was a violent noise outside the tent, everyone couldn't help being startled, and looked outside at the same time.

Without warning, the sky burned for several kilometers with redness, which gradually became more visible as time went on, and even the smell of ashes and billowing white smoke could be smelled.

The flames all over the sky almost reflected half of the night sky red, and the beating fire waves illuminated the night, spreading thick peak-like smoke intertwined with black and white.

Suddenly, a sound of galloping horseshoes broke the originally quiet barracks, instantly causing unstoppable turmoil and turmoil, like a spark falling into the middle of dry wood, bursting into countless crackling boils.

In just half a moment, there were mournful cries and howls, mixed with cursing that could no longer be suppressed.

"Wuchao's food and grass have been burnt clean. This is great. Not only have we lost our military rations, but all our supplies have also been taken away." Some people no longer hesitated, and simply discussed loudly with their comrades, gnashing their teeth.

"It's not entirely because the lord is indecisive and domineering! He didn't listen to Tian Biejia's harsh words and sent a general Chunyuqiong to guard Wuchao. It's not...drunkness made a mistake, it's all over!"

This man's words immediately aroused the echo of many people, and a wave of disappointment swept over everyone's minds in an instant, shouting: "The black nest is burned, what shall I eat, and what shall I use to fight? Go to the battlefield hungry and fight with me." Is Cao Jun fighting against each other?"

People were panicking, and at this moment, the battle report was also flying like snowflakes. The frontline soldiers rushed into the tent anxiously, and they all brought a piece of news: Cao Jun attacked Wuchao at night and burned the granary.

All the counselors were stiff and did not dare to say anything. They stood in the ranks and looked at each other in silence, signaling with their eyes, all of which flustered and wandered.

The moment the fire ignited, Ah Sheng knew he was doomed.

She sneaked a glance at Yuan Shao, who was at the top, his face was ashen, his sharp brows and eyes were full of hatred, and he walked towards her quickly with his sword in hand.

His mind went blank for a moment, and he froze in place, looking at him in bewilderment.

With a "slap", he was slapped heavily on the cheek, and the severe pain burst out immediately, and his head suddenly buzzed.Although it was within her expectation, her body still staggered back a few steps unexpectedly, her center of gravity was unstable and she fell to the ground.

Misfortunes never come singly, his head hit the sharp corner of the table all of a sudden, making a straight cut.A few seconds later, there was a scorching temperature on the forehead, and I wondered if blood flowed out.

"A traitor!" Yuan Shao gritted his teeth fiercely, his devouring gaze seemed to penetrate her whole body.

Ah Sheng endured the pain and tried to get up from the ground, wanting to maintain the little bit of dignity left, but his movements were abruptly stopped by his murderous eyes, and he could only support the ground with his elbows so as not to fall completely .

Suddenly, a cold light instantly shone through the dimly lit camp, shocking everyone.

Yuan Shao pulled out his sword from his waist, stabbed straight at A Sheng with the tip of the sword glowing with cold light, barely stopped half an inch away from the throat, he clenched the hilt of the sword, frowned and said angrily: "I want to kill you!" For you, to avenge Wuchao and the dead soldiers, to make Ah Man pay for his schemes, to make him regret it!"

The sword's edge rested on the fragile neck, the bluish-white muscles and bones under the thin skin were clear, and with the rapid breathing, he slowly drew blood, and drops of bright red ooze out.

Ah Sheng couldn't care less about the burning pain, he even held back his rebuttal words, he didn't dare to say it at all, he could only secretly say in his heart that I would die.

"General, calm down!" Seeing that the sword edge was about to break his throat, Xun Chen suddenly shouted, stretched out his hand and grabbed the sword blade, and even though the blood dripped down between his fingers, he did not let go.

"Mr. Xun?" Yuan Shao frowned, looked at him puzzled, and then stopped moving.

Xun Chen then withdrew his hand, and then bowed to him, never looking at A Sheng who had already fallen into a daze, and said calmly: "It's just a woman, how can killing her pay off the lives of thousands of soldiers?" In my opinion, it is better to keep her head and earn more worthwhile business from Cao Mengde."

Seeing Yuan Shao's hesitation, he leaned closer to the lord's side and looked into the latter's angry eyes: "My lord, don't forget, what you want is Cao Mengde's life, and the whole... world."

Hearing this, Yuan Shao nodded his head and pondered for a few seconds before putting his sword back into its sheath. He stared at A Sheng sharply, and said coldly: "For now, I will spare your life, I will put you in a prison and take good care of it. If there is any abnormality, I will kill you!"

The dungeon was dark and damp, and there was a smell of decay and corpses everywhere, and the endless howling of ghosts and wolves made Ah Sheng's already restless heart even more uncomfortable.

Yuan Shao seemed to really hate Cao Cao to the bone, and the food he gave her was unpalatable overnight rotten food, and he had to cover his nose and close his eyes to force his mouth down.

She leaned against the wall and sat on the haystack, thinking about how to survive and bandaging the wound herself. At this moment, there was the sound of chains turning outside. She subconsciously looked up and found that the prison door opened with a "squeak" .

She immediately lowered her head, guessing who was coming, without even glancing at him, she tore the tattered quilt by herself, tore off a piece of cloth, and baked it on the candle.

Just as he was about to wrap it around his forehead, his wrist was suddenly grabbed by a hand, and then the gentlest male voice that he had heard in the past few days sounded in his ear: "I'll do it."

She frowned angrily, unwilling to lift her eyelids, and then struggled to break away from his hand, "What's none of your business?"

He wasn't annoyed, but still smiled lightly: "Madam Bian is still annoyed?"

"Xun Chen, let me ask you, did you do it on purpose?!"

"It doesn't matter whether it's intentional or unintentional, but if I don't confess you, it's even more impossible for you to escape. Don't you understand my good intentions?" He bent his lips jokingly.

His face seemed to be wearing a mask of indistinguishable expressions, and he always had that expression of indifference and indifference, but it made Ah Sheng wonder whether he really wanted to help himself or was just testing.

"Then I really want to thank Mr. Xun. Thanks to you, now there are heavy soldiers guarding the death cell day and night, and it is indeed easier to escape." She curled her lips and gave him a gnashing of teeth.

Xun Chen leaned back, looked her up and down for a moment without avoiding suspicion, and shook his head after a long time: "Your temper still hasn't changed, I didn't expect you to still be like this after so many years...uh, irritable."

"If Bian Sheng remembers correctly—I don't seem to have anything to do with Mr. Xun, right? It's really hard for you to remember me." She said sullenly, turning her eyes away from him.

"It seems that my memory is much better than Mrs. Bian's." He sighed pretending to be disappointed, and his sincere eyes almost made people believe that what he did and what he said matched, "Miss Bian's frown back then It's a pity that Miss Bian has never looked directly at Xia from the beginning to the end, it's really sad."

Pooh!A Sheng spat in disgust in his heart, glanced at his face inadvertently, and for a moment had the illusion that he was talking to Xun Yu.

Seeing this face that was almost exactly the same as the latter's, which was too familiar and unfamiliar, she wanted to swear, but finally she couldn't swear, and she just choked it back from her throat.

"You can tell the truth."

"The truth is—" He pondered for a while, and just when Ah Sheng thought he was going to ask an extremely serious question, he suddenly continued, "It's always been a strange thing, and I haven't thought about it yet. Pass."

"Say."

"I thought that A Sheng would marry Wen Ruo, and I was almost able to say "brother and sister", but I never thought that A Sheng would not do what I wanted, which really surprised me."

He actually sighed regretfully, and even called her boudoir name without any reason, and stared at her very seriously, as if he was sincerely asking.

"I'm not good enough for Ling Jun, and Ling Jun won't like me." She said very absent-mindedly.

Xun Chen narrowed his eyes meaningfully, obviously dissatisfied with the answer, he opened his mouth as if he wanted to ask more questions, but was immediately stopped by A Sheng: "I answered you, and you have to answer mine next time." question."

"Okay, Miss Bian just ask."

She instantly locked the other party's dark eyes, and asked deeply: "Why did you appear at the Shangshutai in Xudu that day? Why did you come to see Xun Lingjun?"

"Madam Bian, these are already two questions, excuse me..."

"Answer me!" A Sheng interrupted directly, ignoring his Gu Zuoyou and talking about him.

"Wenruo is my twin brother, why can't I see him? Is there any reason in the world to stop my elder brother from seeing my younger brother? Mrs. Bian is really too domineering."

A Sheng frowned, he really didn't intend to answer her seriously from the beginning, this response was as casual as his own.

So she temporarily gave up asking questions, rubbed her eyes and yawned: "Forget it, I'm tired, you go first."

"Wait a minute," she called to him again the moment the cell door closed, looking into his dark eyes, "thank you...for saving me today."
