Volume 2 Tragic Song Chapter 118 Asking for help
In fact, Xiao Zishuo understands that his proton is just a hostage.
Most of the sons who have been hostages in the past dynasties are exchanges between the sons of the two countries, and they are hostages to each other.
Not only is the life safety of the proton guaranteed, but the enemy country will also be courteous.
And to put it bluntly, he is just a hostage captive, and it is not easy to survive, where do you dare to ask for courtesy.
After Qin spent half a year of humiliation, he suddenly received an invitation from Zhao Zhihai to visit Suibei City.
He is naturally intelligent and understands, Zhao Zhihai's invitation is by no means without purpose, because he has already received the news that his father is terminally ill, and Zhao Zhihai wants to have a good relationship with him, in order to establish some "interests" with himself, the prince of Qi, in the future.
Whether it is false or wrong, or sincere friendship, Xiao Zishuo is naturally willing to accept Zhao Zhihai's invitation, at least he can get out of Xijing, which has made him breathless for half a year.
Xiao Zishuo also sighed in his heart, this Great Qin has Zhao Zhihai inside, and Fang Yuanheng outside, it is really terrifying, and what is even more frustrating is that these two people have only stood up, it is when they are strong, I am afraid that in the next twenty or thirty years, Great Qin will be the overlord of this Great Zhou world.
If it weren't for the constraints of the Rong people outside the Guan, Xiao Zishuo would have believed that Daqin would have captured the Four Kingdoms, and replacing Zhou Tianzi would not be impossible.
On the way to Suibei City, he met Xiao Jin, a doorman from Edo, a general of the Zhao family with the same surname as him, who was in charge of his own daily life and food.
In the first few days of acquaintance with him, Xiao Zishuo was shocked to find that this little official, who was a few years younger than himself, not only arranged his schedule and living properly, but also talked to him every time, Xiao Jin's analysis of the situation in the world, the pros and cons of the national politics of various countries, the deployment of marching and fighting, and the gains and losses of all wars throughout the ages made Xiao Zishuo dumbfounded.
Da Qin is really a fortune of the country, and a small official can have such a talent, which makes Xiao Zishuo feel more and more frustrated.
But in the following time, he also understood, there are not many talents like Xiao Jin, not to mention that there are not many people in Daqin, even in the world of Great Zhou. But he was born in the Shu clan, and no matter how capable he was, he couldn't enter the eyes of those noble lords.
He is a difficult brother, and Xiao Jin is a difficult brother.
Therefore, Xiao Zishuo put down his shelf, and Xiao Jin, who was born in the common people, called him brother and brother every day, and talked about politics, which can be regarded as a lot of gains.
In the half year of Suibei City, Xiao Zishuo and Xiao Jin became friends who talked about everything, and he gained his lost respect and the way of governing the country that he had never thought of from Xiao Jin.
And he also cares for Xiao Jin as a younger brother.
Even if Xiao Jin is talented, he is a commoner after all, don't say that he is just a servant in Daqin Dingtian, but he has taken the fortune, and if he takes the title, he can only be a non-changer.
Therefore, Xiao Zishuo has some sympathy for Xiao Jinhuai's talent in his heart.
Seeing Xiao Jin breaking into his courtyard in a hurry, Xiao Zishuo put down the book in his hand with a smile and said:
"Why are you so frizzy, sit down and drink saliva first, and talk slowly."
Xiao Zishuo said as he handed the brewed tea to Xiao Jin.
Xiao Jin smiled and sat down, picked up the tea handed by Xiao Zishuo and took a sip.
"You ghost, what do you want to do with me? Last time, I was deceived by you and said that I was going to buy some Qinglu Chu tea, but the tea I got back was not as good as what Zhao Fu gave us, what did you deceive this time?
I think that if my mother country recruits me one day, I will be deceived by you even if I go back. ”
Xiao Zishuo pretended to complain and said, but in Xiao Jin's eyes, he could see that Xiao Zishuo had a trace of complaint.
"If the eldest son of Qi said that he had no money, wouldn't everyone in the world laugh and lose his big teeth." Xiao Jin didn't give Xiao Zishuo any face and retorted.
But then, he put on a pitiful look and said:
"This time, I really have something to ask for, and I ask Brother Zishuo to fulfill it."
Xiao Zishuo squinted at Xiao Jin, then picked up the book he had just read and said, "Tell me quickly, I still have to read after I finish speaking." ”
But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Xiao Jin suddenly stand up and bow deeply to him.
Xiao Zishuo looked at Xiao Jin, who was full of seriousness, then put down the book again and said, "Why do you need to make such a big gift." ”
After the salute, Xiao Jin looked at Xiao Zishuo, and suddenly a trace of flush rose on his face.
"This, this, I heard that Brother Zishuo will be returning to Xijing in a few days, is this true?"
Xiao Jin asked cautiously.
Xiao Zishuo sneered. "You are the person sent by the Qin State to spy on me, how can I know if you don't know about this?"
After finishing speaking, he gradually stopped smiling, because Xiao Jin still had a serious face.
Xiao Zishuo thought about it and nodded.
"Someone has told me about it, and I didn't want to hide it from you, but you know it."
"I know, Brother Xiao doesn't want me to know it's also for my good, but Xiao Jin is not looking for you today for this matter, but for, for."
Speaking of this, Xiao Jin looked embarrassed again, and her face turned red.
Xiao Zishuo also felt strange, he didn't wonder why Xiao Jin knew that he was about to leave Suibei City, because he admired Xiao Jin's cleverness quite a lot, and it must have been analyzed by Xiao Jin from his every move.
But what made him strange was that today was the first time he had seen Xiao Jin at a loss since he met him.
Xiao Zishuo frowned, stretched out his hand and grabbed Xiao Jin's arm tightly, and said to him:
"Tell me, what is it that makes you so embarrassed?"
"I want to ask you to help me take a girl with me when I leave Suibei City."
Xiao Jin said as if he had exhausted his strength, but after saying this, he lowered his head like a deflated ball.
Xiao Zishuo was stunned when he heard this, and after making sure that what he heard was correct, he laughed "hahaha".
"What should I do, even you Xiao Jin can't do it.
Isn't it common to take a woman away, although you are not yet twenty, you are also eighteen years old, what's wrong with finding a good family.
I only know that Daqin needs to be twenty years old, but I haven't heard of twenty years old to marry a wife. ”
Xiao Zishuo looked at Xiao Jin, but when he talked about the back, he saw that Xiao Jin was still bowing his head and drooping his ears, so he changed his mind and said in surprise:
"You're not going to hook up with some Qinglou woman or someone else's wife, right?"
It's no wonder that Xiao Zishuo thinks like this, if Xiao Jin, an ordinary woman, marries, she doesn't need her own help at all, it must be Xiao Jin's unspeakable hidden reason that she asked for herself.
Speaking of this, he felt more and more that this matter was more likely, so he said to Xiao Jin seriously:
"The woman in the Qinglou is just playing on the spot, you must not make a mistake about yourself, if you are someone else's wife, you will stop this thought today, and you must not do that beast for yourself."
After finishing speaking, Xiao Zishuo stared at Xiao Jin.
If it is really as he said, then he has misseen Xiao Jin's character, so how can he not be angry.
"Brother Zishuo is too worried, that woman is not a Qinglou woman, nor is she someone else's wife, let alone someone I can marry."
Xiao Jin muttered, but when he said this, he frowned slightly, as if he had made up his mind, and got up and wanted to leave.
Xiao Zishuo saw that he had misunderstood Xiao Jin and provoked him to leave, so he hurriedly grabbed Xiao Jin's arm and said:
"Tell me quickly, who is it, as long as it doesn't hurt the heavens and reason, I will help you."
Seeing Xiao Jin sit down again, Xiao Zishuo rolled his eyes.
"Why did you beg me instead of me begging you, it really doesn't make sense."
Seeing that Xiao Jin's face was like the book he had flipped over, he was very happy to change his appearance the moment he said yes, and Xiao Zishuo was even more depressed.
"Brother Zishuo, I, Xiao Jin, swear to the sky that it will never hurt the heavens, but the identity of that woman is quite tricky, you know, I am only from the Shu clan."
"The daughter of a nobleman?"
Xiao Zishuo didn't understand anything when he heard this, so he looked at Xiao Jin and blurted out.
"Interesting, interesting, I'll help you, I'll help you."
Xiao Zishuo rubbed his hands as he spoke.
In the year when Qin was hostage, he was fed up with the contempt and rudeness of the Qin nobles, and although Zhao Zhihai allowed him to avoid some contact with the Qin nobles in Suibei City, the nobles he met in Suibei City became his new trouble.
So as soon as he heard that Xiao Jin was going to kidnap the daughter of the noble, Xiao Zishuo was excited for no reason.
As if he had done this, he would be able to avenge his revenge.
Xiao Jin didn't know Xiao Zishuo's thoughts, he rolled his eyes and said:
"I'm afraid this matter is a little difficult, yes, it's the young lady of the Zhao family."
"Oh, Miss Zhao family, this matter is indeed a little difficult to handle."
After Xiao Zishuo heard that it was Miss Zhao, the revenge in his heart was a little low, after all, Zhao Zhihai treated him very well, but Xiao Jin's matter had to help him.
"I said that you go out early and return late every day, and I thought you had something important to do, but I didn't expect your kid to cheat me out of money to find the Miss Zhao family."
Xiao Zishuo still didn't forget to taunt Xiao Jin.
"Say, whose young lady, when the raw rice is cooked and ripe, I will inevitably wipe your buttocks."
Xiao Zishuo's words are not unreasonable, the nobles are not allowed to intermarry, which is limited by the world's etiquette law, although there is no explicit law to stop it, but the nobles based on the patriarchal etiquette system are not willing to intermarry with the people, which will not only be laughed at by the world, but also invisibly reduce the status of their families.
Of course, a man's acceptance of concubines and concubines is another matter.
"Zhao Zhihai's daughter, Zhao Qing'er."
Xiao Jin said quite "honestly".
"Let's go"
After Xiao Jin finished speaking, he raised his eyes to look at Xiao Zishuo who was sitting on the desk, and then looked at the teacup that fell on the desk and the tea full of the case, lowered his head and said nothing.
"You, you, you're really good."
Xiao Zishuo pointed at Xiao Jin for a long time and only said a few words and then couldn't speak, he looked at Xiao Jin who pretended to be honest in front of him, and didn't know whether to ridicule or congratulate him.
"Daughter of Zhao Zhihai, why don't you seduce the daughter of the Jade Emperor.
If you come to me today, you must have made up your mind, and I will help you, tell me, what should I do. ”
Xiao Zishuo looked at Xiao Jin angrily and said with a wry smile.
