Chen Ruis heart and eyes were full of Xiao Qiaos shadow. When he got down from the wall, he went straight to the Prefects residence and ordered them to set up the wedding hall for his marriage with Xiao Qiao.

With his nature, if a woman falls into his hands, it is like a sheep entering a tigers mouth. When there will be such patience to comply with the reason? But this time, he can not be ruthless toward her. He thought its just wait for another day. After the ceremony, whether she wants it or not, she will become his woman. At that time, he will show his mans spirit. After she tasted his ability to serve women, she will be submissive.

Then, he did not care about other things, just hanging around in front of Xiao Qiao. He ordering people to bring jewelry and silk to Xiao Qiao, pleasing her in every way. The next evening, everything was ready. The bridal chamber was decorated in style. Chen Rui waited until the auspicious time and ordered people to bring Xiao Qiao out to perform the wedding ceremony. At this time, an urgent report came. The scouts found troops 30 miles outside the city. It looks like Wei Shaos people. And they will soon reach the city.

Chen Rui had to suspend the wedding ceremony. He ordered the scouts to report if they were less than ten miles.

Chen Rui cursed Wei Shao for ruin his good things. He took off his wedding clothes and ordered someone to get the protective armor. He was equipped and was ready to lead the army out to meet the enemy. Suddenly, he remembered and returned to the room. He pushed open the door and said to Xiao Qiao: Beauty, Wei Shao himself came to die. How dare he spoil our plans! Take a good look, I will kill him and when I return from the victory, I will perform the ceremony with you. You wait for me.

He said while taking out the rope. Tied up her hands and feet in three or two rounds. Carried her to the bed and comforted: Beauty, do not blame me for being rough again. I am worried about you. I was afraid when I wasnt here and you wouldnt think straight. Please bear with me. Ill be right back. After saying that, he put down the curtain and turned out. He instructed the servants at the door to guard well. He hurried to the city gates and select the soldiers. Ride on his horse, set up the flags and leading the soldiers out of the city gates. Waiting for Wei Shao.

Wei Shaos army came. There were reports from spies that Chen Rui had controlled Chen Pang. The Generals of Shiyi had changed, and Chen Rui led his troops into formation outside the city. Threatening to fight him, so he went straight to the city. When he reached and saw the city from afar, the two armies met.

Wei Shao looked across. He saw Chen Rui sitting high on horseback, with halberd across his hand. Four healthy generals lined up on either side. Behind him stood a banner over ten feet high, embroidered with the word Chen, fluttering in the wind. Chen Rui was provoking him with his arrogant posture.

Wei Shao, as if he did not notice, took his twin iron bow. He aimed and released triple shots towards Chen Rui.

The arrow carried a vague whistle, tearing the air. Its head and tail in the air, like a straight snake, aimed at Chen Rui over 100 paces away. Chen Rui was not prepare. He was shocked and saw only the lightning. The arrow arrived in a blink of an eye. Its even too late to swing the halberd. Without caring about the appearance, he leaned down to the back of the horse. He dodged the arrow, and a gust of wind passed over his head. Theres poof, three muffled sounds in succession. He looked back and three arrow clusters were nailed into the flagpole. Although theres a hundred paces away, its still through the thick poplar wood. The arrows tail buzzed. The flagpole swayed, and a gust of wind rolled over. Ka La La a slight sound and the flagpole broken into two pieces. Bringing the flag fell to the ground.

Wei Shaos grandfather, Wei Lun, entered Luoyang as a young man and served as a general. Although Weis family was an aristocratic family and his ancestors had held important positions as governors, but because of his handsome appearance, no one believed in his ability. One day, the Han Emperor hosted a banquet. During the banquet, he used archery as a game. He had heard in ancient times, those who were good at archery had the power to penetrate five armors with one arrow, and he hoped to see it with his own eyes. Many of the good archers at the banquet came out to try, but none of them could penetrate five armors. When the Emperor was disappointed, Wei Lun came forward and asked to try for seven armors.

The Han Emperor was surprised, but still had people stack the seven layers of JingSuo armor. It turned out Wei Lun could get through with one shot. The Emperor was amazed. Everyone in the banquet was shocked. This made Wei Lun famous, and the Han Emperor gave him the title of Crossbow General and ordered him to lead the army against the Xiongnu. This is how Wei Shaos grandmother, Mrs. Xu, fell in love with Wei Lun and married him. They giving birth to Wei Shaos father, Wei Jing. Wei Jing was also known as a talented archer.

Decades later, Wei Shao also lived up to the name of his ancestors superb archery, and could shoot such an excellent shot!

The two armies were silent. Suddenly, Wei Shaos side issued a tiger mighty whistle. The soldiers gather with shields on the ground, like rolling thunder, sound shaking the ground. In front of Chen Ruis line, the soldiers looked at each other, but there was no sound. The two armies have not yet started the battle, but they have lost a big momentum first.

Chen Rui was shocked, and his back was covered with a cold sweat. Seeing the broken flag and losing the momentum, he could not help but become angry. He sat up straight and pushed his horse out of line, and challenged Wei Shao.Follow current novels at novelhall.com)

Li Chong, the deputy general, took care of the casualty count and resettlement, and Gongsun Yang arranged for men to put out the fire. Wei Shao headed for the Prefects residence. Halfway down the road, Gongsun Yang and a sergeant-major came in a hurry. When the sergeant-major saw Wei Shao, he reported he had sent men after Chen Rui, who had fled, but had not found the lady.

According to the confessions of the Prefects residences servants, they imprisoned the lady in the new room and the source of the fire was where the new room was located. The servant who was ordered by Chen Rui to guard her saw the fire in the room and opened the door to check, but the smoke and fire were so strong that it was blinding. She called someone to put out the fire, but the fire was too big and soon burned the entire house.

The sergeant had sent people to search everywhere around the area, but there was no sign of the lady, so he thought she might have been buried in the fire.

The sergeant completed his report and looked at Wei Shao, looking a little uneasy.

Wei Shao stopped in place and tilted his head, looked at the burning blaze.

His face and body are still stained with blood. The light from the fire reflects on his armor. His expression brought out some murderous aura.

He seemed lost in thought. Pass my order. Kill Chen Pang. Exterminate all the family members. Cast the women as camp prostitutes. Bury the surrendered soldiers alive. No one will be left.

He said it word by word, but his tone was rather flat, with no emotions.

Gongsun Yang was astonished and looked at him. Wei Shaos eyes were bloodshot. His gaze was murderous. He wants to persuade, but before he could speak, Wei Shao already said, There is no need for you to say more. I have already decided. The voice was icy.

While Gongsun Yang was hesitating, another soldier came running behind him, but with a cheerful face, he shouted from afar, Marquis! We have found the lady! We have found the lady! She is hiding in the empty stable!

Gongsun Yang was delighted and asked him what was going on. The soldier reported she was safe, but her wrists had been burned by fire, and they had taken her to a safe place.

Gongsun Yang turned to repeat himself and looked at Wei Shaos expression and said, My Lord, Chen Pang cannot be killed. There are other uses for him. The remaining guards of Shiyi have also surrendered to My Lord. It is inauspicious to kill them. I hope My Lord will think twice.

He finished his advice, and saw Wei Shao did not nod, but also did not make a sound. He relieved, thought about it, and then advised: The lady is fine. But with all the turbulence, Im sure she must be frightened. Why dont you visit her? I will take care of the rest of the citys affairs.

Please send a doctor to treat her wounds, and have someone guard her well so that she doesnt get lost again. I have something else to do. Ill go now! Wei Shao dropped a sentence, turned, and walked away.

Gongsun Yang looked at his back and shook his head.
