Zheng Jie originally came with a kind of reciprocal benefit with Xiahou Yi, he had seen Xiahou Yi's vigilant eyes when he first returned to the capital, and he had also seen Xiahou Yi beat his cousin Xiahou Shuai ruthlessly.

Over the years, he has cautiously avoided his father's concubine and his beloved two sons, originally thinking that as long as he does not make mistakes, the title of Duke of Anguo will still be his own in the future, but in fact, it is his inaction and concession in exchange for his half-brother to kill him.

Where did you think that Xiahou Yi did not play cards according to common sense, the two of them originally sang double reeds together, but where did they know that in the end, it was a one-man show, and the other party did not cooperate at all. Zheng Jie could only smile bitterly at this time: "It seems that I am too worried, Brother Xiahou has his own hills and valleys in his heart."

Xiahou Yi waved his hand, at this time he gave his back to Zheng Jie with great peace of mind, he got up and stood by the window, looking at the rain that kept falling from the sky, and his heart was clear.

At this time, where is there still a need for Zheng Jie to hide? The bamboo tube poured beans neatly and neatly told the transaction between Xiahou Yi's second uncle and his father.

Zheng Jie said with some self-deprecation: "I originally wanted to settle this matter with Brother Xiahou, but Brother Xiahou may not know that I have lived outside Beijing for a long time, I, the eldest young master of the Anguo family, is just a showman, I can't do anything, I can't protect my mother, and now even my wife and children want to protect it with the help of you, an outsider, it's really useless."

"There are too many people in the red world who can't help themselves, and Brother Zheng and I are just one of them, so why bother to be self-indulgent."

Zheng Jie was shocked after hearing Xiahou Yi's words, and looked at Xiahou Yi with some incredulity, he thought that he had angered this high-ranking young general, judging from Xiahou Yi's current status. Although his official position and his age are younger than many people, no one is a fool, how can this young man be judged by his official position and family background?

Therefore, when Zheng Jie thought that Xiahou Yi was angry with him, Zheng Jie no longer had the need to hide it, his mind was not pure, and his purpose was even more pure, he originally thought that Xiahou Yi would be angry if he was used. How did you know that he would say such a remark of approval?

"Brother Xiahou doesn't blame me?" Zheng Jie was happy, and his eyes were a little complicated.

Xiahou Yi didn't turn his head. He knew what he meant by this, once he said it, it would be water spilled, and Zheng Jie was a little flustered now. Once he should come down, it is equivalent to saving even the people behind Zheng Jie.

"It doesn't matter if it's weird or not, I've done things that I can't help myself."

When Zheng Jie heard Xiahou Yi really say, his heart was mixed for a while. The unfortunate people in this world have their own misfortunes, thinking of Xiahou Yi's past. He was also a little silent for a while.

"There are a lot of Xiahou brothers, and I am really ashamed of my brother."

Xiahou Yi's heart was not as calm as he looked, after all, An Guogong was disgusted with his eldest son, but he reached out to help. This shows in disguise that his maintenance of Zheng Jie is only an enemy of An Guogong, otherwise why is Zheng Jie a descendant of the main house, but he has such a difficult life. It's not because everyone is figuring out An Guogong's thoughts, and no one dares to show favor to Zheng Jie, but he is polite on weekdays. But when something happens, it's a big deal.

Now he has constant lawsuits on his own, plus Zheng Jie...... Xiahou Yi tugged at the corners of his mouth at this time, and some of the bachelors thought, "Don't worry if you have more debts, don't itch if you have more lice" Anyway, it won't be worse than now.

"Brother Xiahou, now that we are spreading out, I am not afraid of your jokes, your second uncle spent a lot of silver to give my second brother's aunt, if it is on weekdays, it will be forgotten, now it is different, since you proposed to return the title of Pingnan Marquis Mansion to Your Majesty a few days ago, there are many people who are secretly dissatisfied with you. My father even publicly said that you forgot your ancestors, and you were disloyal and unfilial. ”

He glanced at Xiahou Yi with a wry smile, "I know that these words were said by my father, and now that I reveal it to you, you will look down on me as a person, but it doesn't matter." ”

"If my second brother gains power, my mother and my wife and children may not even be able to save their lives, who can take care of that kind of foolishness at this time?"

Because of An Guogong's silent suppression, Zheng Jie has many people who can only be called "gentlemen's friendship is as light as water" over the years, and those people can't give him any help when he encounters things, and he has been suppressed for a long time, in addition to being well-informed and forbearing, he doesn't have a few friends who don't talk about anything, at this time, Xiahou Yi's identity is enough, and he is quite old, as if he gave Zheng Jie an outlet.

"Sometimes I even think that this title of Duke of Anguo might as well be gone, if one day I get it, I will definitely give it to others like you, even if I carry the reputation of the Zheng family as a sinner from now on, it is better than others trampling my wife, children and mother under the ground. It's just that I'm not reconciled in the end, as long as I think that my second brother will one day show off his might in front of me, I have a kind of mind that I must win this title. ”

"Why do you think I chose to hand over my title at that time?"

Zheng Jie's eyes suddenly widened!

"The power is falling, the family has been holding the court since the previous dynasty, the imperial power cannot be concentrated, the emperor's authority has always been threatened by the noble family, in recent years, His Majesty has almost taken His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to deal with government affairs in every detail, on the one hand, it is said that he teaches His Royal Highness the Crown Prince by hand, but why concentrate the power in his own hands?"

"In the east, I led the troops to resist hard, drove away the bandits, pirates and those Japanese people, and the old general Zhu in the northwest region hit the Dog Rong tribe hard, until I brought back the leader of the Dog Rong, His Majesty almost reached an unprecedented level of self-confidence in himself In this case, what do I want the title of Marquis of Pingnan to do? Sooner or later, this title will become a burden to me, hindering my progress, and even worse, my net worth and life will be at risk! ”

The things that Xiahou Yi said undoubtedly dropped a bomb in Zheng Jie's eyes, overturning all Zheng Jie's previous understandings. He said in a somewhat dry voice, "Brother Xiahou, have you thought deeply about your words?"

Xiahou Yi turned around and said with a smile: "Think deeply? I have led soldiers to fight for so many years, sometimes it is not my identity, but more of an in-depth analysis of everything nowadays, if I don't think about the consequences before doing things at the age of eight, heh! ”

That disdainful tone simply made Zheng Jie's face feverish, and that was just what he said when he was in a state of confusion.

"Actually, in addition to your second uncle, your second aunt is also an amazing character." (To be continued.) )
