Wei Xiaobao's Three Kingdoms Adventure

Chapter 118 Preparing to Capture the Father-in-Law Alive

Wei Xiaobao hummed "Shi Ba Mo" all the way back home and saw Diao Chan, Shuang'er and Mu Jianping playing with Da Qiao in the hall.

After taking Xia Pi, Liu Bei thought that Wei Xiaobao had many wives, so he found him a big house in the city. Now the four women were running around and making noise in the hall very freely.

When Da Qiao saw Wei Xiaobao come in, her face immediately darkened and she asked unhappily, "You've already recaptured Xuzhou. When will you send me back?"

Wei Xiaobao had been running around all these days and had never really looked at Da Qiao. When he finally ran into her, Da Qiao asked him this question right before he could even open his mouth. He got angry and replied, "If you want to leave, you can leave now. I won't stop you."

Da Qiao was about to go out the door when she was stopped by Mu Jianping: "It's so far from Xia Pi to Shouchun, how can you go back by yourself? Brother Wei said he would send you back, and he will definitely send you back."

Wei Xiaobao said, "Let her go. If she gets taken away by wild dogs or kidnapped by bandits on the way, it has nothing to do with us."

Da Qiao also began to feel scared, and Mu Jianping took advantage of the situation to pull her back to sit.

Wei Xiaobao continued, "Yuan Shu has sent someone to pick you up. I heard he plans to marry you to Sun Ce of Jiangdong."

Da Qiao turned her back to Wei Xiaobao and snorted, saying, "Nonsense! If you want me to stay, make up a better excuse."

Wei Xiaobao felt sweet inside when he heard Da Qiao talking to him. A smile spread across his face as he asked, "Why would I want you to stay?"

"You just want me to be your pawn..." Da Qiao just finished half of the sentence and immediately realized that she had fallen into Wei Xiaobao's trap, so she quickly shut up and stopped talking.

Wei Xiaobao persisted and pressed on, "What for?"

Da Qiao suddenly felt wronged, tears welling up in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and said, "Either kill me or send me back. Otherwise, when I escape, I will definitely kill you."

Wei Xiaobao also felt aggrieved: "Ake has feelings for Zheng Keshuang and has misunderstood me, so she keeps yelling at me to kill me. Do you also have a gigolo in your heart?"

Diao Chan walked over to Wei Xiaobao and whispered, "Xiaobao, Miss Da Qiao has been away from home for a long time, so it's inevitable that she's a little homesick. You're teasing her now, and you've made her cry, haven't you?"

Wei Xiaobao said, "I didn't lie to her. Yuan Shu really planned to give her to Sun Ce and then join forces with Sun Ce to attack Xuzhou. That's why my brother couldn't let her go."

After hearing what Wei Xiaobao said, Da Qiao said angrily, "My father was trapped in the enemy camp, and Yuan Shu refused to rescue him. Now he's targeting me. I don't know why my father still remains loyal to this man."

Wei Xiaobao asked, "How dare you come alone to save your father?"

Da Qiao said, "My mother died young, and my father never remarried. Besides my father, there are only my younger sister and I at home. My father is away in the army all year round, and the playboys in Shouchun and Lujiang have long been plotting against my sister and me."

When Da Qiao mentioned the playboy, she turned around and glanced at Wei Xiaobao.

Wei Xiaobao immediately understood that Da Qiao was often harassed, so she particularly hated his smooth talk.

Da Qiao continued, "After my father was captured by you, some people came to my house and said some sarcastic things. One even said he was willing to come and rescue my father. If I would do that, I would marry him."

Wei Xiaobao spitted and said, "Taking advantage of someone's misfortune, how shameless!"

Da Qiao looked at Wei Xiaobao with a pout.

Wei Xiaobao quickly said, "I kept you here solely for the war, not for any other reason. It can't be considered taking advantage of someone in distress."

Diao Chan covered her mouth and laughed softly. Shuang'er and Mu Jianping were listening intently to Da Qiao's story, but when they heard Diao Chan's laughter, they immediately understood Wei Xiaobao's insincerity and started laughing too.

Wei Xiaobao started to act like a scoundrel: "I really didn't take advantage of anyone's misfortune!"

Shuang'er said, "Xiaobao, you're just confessing yourself."

Mu Jianping said, "Brother Wei, taking advantage of someone's misfortune is not what a gentleman does."

Wei Xiaobao puffed up his cheeks and said, "My elder brother and the military advisor are planning to capture your father and force you to marry me. Although I, Wei Xiaobao, am not a gentleman, I will never take advantage of others' misfortune. Even if your father is captured, I will try to persuade him to surrender to my elder brother and will never take advantage of the opportunity to force you to marry me."

When these words were spoken, the four women present were stunned.

Wei Xiaobao cursed himself in his heart: "Your grandfather's Wei Xiaobao, why are you showing off like this!"

Da Qiao bowed gracefully and said, "If I could get my father to come to Xia Pi, I would be able to persuade him to abandon his evil ways and join the good. But there is one more thing I would like to ask of General Wei."

Wei Xiaobao's heart skipped a beat: "Calling me General Wei, I'm afraid I'm going to do something that will get me killed, right?"

Da Qiao continued, "If I leave my little sister alone in Shouchun, she will be in danger. If General Wei can rescue my little sister, I am willing to serve him for the rest of my life."

Wei Xiaobao was still hesitating when Diao Chan whispered to him, "With General Qiao coming to see Big Brother, you can also take in a new wife and concubine. This is the best of both worlds. Why don't you agree to it?"

Wei Xiaobao got playful and asked, "Aren't you jealous? When Lü Bu's wife heard that Lü Bu attacked Xiaopei to get you, she got so jealous that she ended up killing him. When you women get jealous, you're really terrible."

Diao Chan rolled her eyes at Wei Xiaobao and said, "Well, I'm jealous then, so you're not allowed to marry her."

Wei Xiaobao laughed heartily and said, "How can Yan compare with you?"

Diao Chan whispered, "We've been getting along very well with Da Qiao these days. If she were to leave suddenly, we'd all be reluctant to let her go. Shuang'er and Mu Jianping both followed you from the Qing Dynasty. Of course, I'm even happier to have a sister from the Han Dynasty."

Wei Xiaobao said casually, "I wonder if Cao Cao has a daughter?"

Diao Chan grabbed Wei Xiaobao's ear and said, "Don't be so gullible. Cao Cao is such a scheming man. If he knew your true identity, I'm afraid you wouldn't even be alive."

Wei Xiaobao quickly begged for mercy, hid behind Shuang'er and made faces at Diao Chan.

The three wives teamed up to capture Wei Xiaobao, but were always evaded by his extraordinary agility.

Da Qiao watched Wei Xiaobao and his three wives fooling around, and her mood gradually calmed down.

A few days after Liu Bei sent back Yuan Shu's envoy, Yuan Shu indeed sent troops to attack Xia Pi, and the leader of the troops was Qiao Rui.

After Zhuge Liang arranged his troops, he assigned Wei Xiaobao as the vanguard to fight against Qiao Rui.

Wei Xiaobao was so happy to capture his father-in-law, especially since he had Zhuge Liang backing him up.
