350: Returning the favor
Zong Xuanyi is a very sharp person, he will not know what the weird feeling in his heart is. If Hua Rongbai looks similar to Jin'er, then Ji Hongye's wife is similar in temperament.
When she was quiet and didn't speak, her head was half lowered, almost exactly like Jin'er. And then there's when she gets acupuncture. He didn't know if all the doctors were so serious when they were diagnosing people. But he remembered that Jin'er was always engrossed, and so was that Mrs. Ji.
"Let people send her back, and say that she is not available. Zong Xuanyi waved away Hua Rongbai's hand on his shoulder, and his voice was cold.
"Xiangye, this is not good! That little boy arrived a long time ago, and waited outside the door for more than an hour before coming in. Hua Rongbai originally didn't care if Nalan Jinxiu could see Zong Xuanyi, but she didn't want to miss any opportunity to get close to him, even if it was just to say a few more words.
"She's been standing outside for more than an hour?" Zong Xuanyi frowned, somehow he was a little moved. As far as he knew, she was now a person with a body, how could she stand all the time?
"Yes. It is said that the gatekeeper chased him several times, but he insisted on seeing you, I think his sincerity is commendable, why don't you see what he wants you to do. ”
Zong Xuanyi suddenly remembered that his wife had never been able to get pregnant, and it almost became a piece of her heart. If Liu Jingxian hadn't drugged her, she would probably have given him a healthy child. Maybe for the sake of the child, she won't leave so simply.
"Where is she now?"
"The reception room in the front yard. ”
"Go down first, I will not call you, and you shall not come in again. Zong Xuanyi got up and went to wash, he often did this by himself, and he didn't need to be served at all.
When he arrived at the reception room, Nalan Jinxiu was looking at the flower garden outside in a daze. When she saw Zong Xuanyi coming in, she stood up, saluted him with a dignified posture, and said lightly: "Ask Xiang Guoan." ”
Zong Xuanyi sat straight on the chair, waved at her, and asked straight to the point: "You came to my mansion early in the morning, but did you ask me?"
"Yes. Nalan Jinxiu felt that there was no need to talk to him, he didn't like it, and she was tired.
Zong Xuanyi looked at the person standing behind her, his eyes were cloudy, and his voice was also displeased: "Since you ask me to do something, then you must be sincere and let your entourage go down." ”
Ye Bing is a person who practices martial arts, and he has an open temperament, and at this time he is secretly thinking, does my lack of sincerity have anything to do with whether or not I bring an entourage? Thinking like this, I can't help but look at Sagarayama. Although Liangshan is a little younger, his brain is very smart and he has a lot of eyesight. Ye Bing is used to discussing anything with him now.
Liangshan is also suspicious in his heart. He felt that Xiangguo's eyes on the county lord were not so right. But he couldn't say what it was, but he thought it was a little weird. Hearing that Xiangguo meant to let him and Ye Bing go out, he felt that it was not appropriate, so he shook his head at Ye Bing.
"I don't know what kind of sincerity Xiangguo wants?" Nalan Jinxiu looked at him quietly, if she didn't guess wrong, Zong Xuanyi would definitely need her to beg him.
"To ask people to do things, you must have an attitude of asking for people. ”
His attitude was too arrogant and indifferent, which made Ye Bing's teeth itch with hatred, if it weren't for the fear of delaying his wife's big event, he really wanted to go up and overturn him with a punch.
"Xiangguo once had a headache, I cured it for you, what did you answer to me at the time, you won't forget it so soon!"
Zong Xuanyi leaned back in his chair, still looking high. He curled the corners of his lips indifferently, and said clearly: "The promise I promised to you naturally won't count, but it's up to me when to fulfill it." ”
These are the two words that Nalan Jinxiu wants to say the most now, but she holds back. As the saying goes, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, my brother is still waiting for her, she has to endure it no matter what. She turned her head to Ye Bing and Liangshan and said, "You two go and wait outside the door." ”
"Madam......" Liangshan wanted to speak and stopped, he always felt that Xiangguo's eyes were not simple when he looked at the county lord, in case he wanted to take advantage of this reason, how could it be good?
Nalan Jinxiu gave him a reassuring look and said lightly: "You guys are waiting for me at the door, don't go far." ”
Ye Bing and Liangshan had no choice but to go out one after the other.
After the two of them went out and closed the door, Nalan Jinxiu asked Zong Xuanyi: "I think you already know my intentions, don't sell Guanzi, and say directly, are you willing to let go of my third brother?"
Zong Xuanyi smiled sarcastically, his face was as cold as ice, and his voice was even worse: "Everyone knows that Ji Ge is thoughtful, and the people who follow him are all wise and brave, but I am afraid that there is no one in the whole world, what can be done to him." I am flattered that Madame has said this to me now. ”
"Don't talk to me, I know, it must be you who are plotting against my third brother. ”
"What you say is not authentic, I am an official in the same dynasty as him, and it is inevitable that there will be differences of opinion, and there will naturally be disputes. But this is all for the sake of national security, not mixed with any personal feelings, so how can I say that I am calculating him?"
Nalan Jinxiu really couldn't sit still, she stood up with a huff, and her speed of speech became faster because of anger: "Why is Xiangguo like this, if you don't want to admit that you owe me a favor, then just drive me out, why bother acting here!"
Zong Xuanyi also stood up, he strode up to Nalan Jinxiu, looked down at the person in front of him, and said coldly: "Do you know that no one has dared to talk to me like this for a long time!"
"Since Xiangguo dares to do it, are you still afraid of what others will say?"
"What did I do, do you have proof?"
"Evidence? Do you think you need evidence? There is a god on your head, you owe me a favor, and you will have to pay it back to me sooner or later!" Although Nalan Jinxiu was much shorter than him, and she could see the killing intent in his eyes, she was not afraid. At one point he couldn't get out of the shadow he brought to her, afraid to hear about him. Now for the sake of the third brother, she must not be afraid.
It's been a long time since a woman has looked at him like this. No matter what kind of mentality they have to approach him, or to please him, they will always avoid him whenever they look at him. He knew it was because his eyes were dark and scared to look at.
I didn't expect this woman to be really courageous. But he didn't want to pay attention to her, he was afraid that he would not be able to control his emotions and would want to take her for himself. Since the death of his wife, there is no woman who can interest him, and if there is, he will not hesitate to get it.
However, if this person was her, he was willing to let her make that exception, not wanting to force himself to be forced by her. Not because she deserved it, but because she was married and had children. Although he is not a gentleman, he also has no hobby of taking away his **. An even more important reason was that she was a practitioner of medicine like his wife, and that alone was enough to make him show mercy to her men.
As soon as he walked away, she grabbed his arm. It was a pair of very slender hands, because of proper maintenance, looking at the soft luster, like a fine mutton fat white jade. He does not deny that he loves these gentle hands.
"What the hell are you going to do? You know that Ji Hongye and I have different paths, with him without me, with me without him, this is a good opportunity to get rid of him, and I can't give it up. ”
"If you refuse to let him go, please tell me, how is my third brother now?Is he still alive?"
"It's not dead yet, but it's coming soon. ”
"Sure enough, he's in your hands. ”
"No! it's not that easy to catch him. Zong Xuanyi didn't pull her away, but looked down into her eyes, and narrated in a light voice: "I originally sent a lot of spies to capture him alive." It's a pity that your third brother is too cunning, he used a golden cicada to get out of his shell and escaped. The two people he carried with him were indeed powerful, and they both had the courage to be unstoppable. But the bad thing is that guy with good skills and bad brains, he doesn't know how to guard, and my spy found your third brother's hiding place. ”
He stopped abruptly when he said this, and Nalan Jinxiu didn't know why he didn't continue, so he raised his head to look at him. Seeing him looking at her, his eyes were very confused, and even revealed a hint of nostalgia.
Nalan Jinxiu realized that the distance between the two of them was extremely close. She let go of his arm, suppressed the spasms in her heart, and said softly, "You go on." ”
"If I tell you about his situation, can I repay you the favor you had in the first place?"
"Count. ”
Zong Xuanyi couldn't help laughing, and secretly praised in his heart, he really didn't see the wrong person, she was smart. If she could make him happy now, there might be room for things to turn around, but if she angered him, he would turn his face and deny him.
Ji Hongye had those two people with him, but he borrowed a local abandoned house and made a game there. You've heard of Qimen gossip! It's just a small array, so my spies can't get in, and they can't get out. Zong Xuanyi seemed to be in a good mood when he said this, he smiled and said: "The enemy is inside, I am outside, you say that they have no supplies, will they starve to death in the end?"
"You trapped my third brother. ”
"No, it could have been done quickly, but he dragged it out for so long, and I couldn't help it. "Zong Xuanyi has a bit of a headache, and it is not for nothing that there are people who are proficient in Qimen gossip, but among the people he knows, there is indeed no one who knows what Ji Hongye is putting up.
Because he was using the peach trees in the courtyard, some people said that he should be in a wind-blowing array. But according to the method of relieving the wind and raising the array, it can't be solved. knew that Ji Hongye was dragging his feet and waiting for reinforcements, but they couldn't do anything about him for a while.
