Listening to this sad and touching story, Dutu's heart also fluctuated. He tried hard to comfort himself that Zhong Ji was just dependent on Nie Rang, and he was a little bit away from liking and love.

"I know you've suffered a lot in the past, but now it's different. I can give you all the protection he can give you, and I believe that I will not let you suffer a little grievance. ”

Zhong Ji was silent, and didn't seem to accept it.

"Do you know how much I like you?" "Do you know how much risk I took to defend your sisters? Do you know how hard it took me to redeem you from slavery in the first place? Do you know how anxious I was when I sent Nie Rang to save you? Do you know how many ways I have tried to get you back? ”

"I know, but ......"

"You know you're still lying to me? Still hiding the adultery of the two of you! Digging Tu rudely interrupted her and threw the silkworm jasper in the other party's face, and her emotions were on the verge of getting out of control.

Zhong Xi was frightened, hiding her face and trembling. Looking at the terrifying expression in her eyes, she regretted her words and actions. His knees weakened, and he leaned over and begged: "In order to marry you, I will not hesitate to confront everyone, you can't do this to me, please." ”

This is the biggest pain point of the current excavation. For the sake of Zhong Ji, he was seized by political enemies, accused of misconduct by his courtiers, and became estranged from his brother. If you can't get her in the end, it will all become a farce.

However, it was already too late, and poor Zhong Ji was once again devoured by the demons in her heart and began to shout frantically for Nie Rang. Digging Tu tried with all his strength to hold her and comfort her. Sadly, instead of Nie Rang's magical powers, he provoked even more violent resistance.

Digging to stabilize his position, firmly believing that this dependence is like detoxification, as long as you persist, you will be able to eliminate it. So he turned his heart a little red-eyed and asked someone to temporarily tie up Zhong Xi and take care of him alone.

He picked up the silkworm that had fallen to the ground, and looked at the corner that had been broken, and his heart was like a knife.

At this time, the large army had already arrived in the capital, and the digging and turpent ordered people to make room for house arrest Zhong Xi. In a small palace room, there are dozens of maids to ensure 24-hour safety.

At first, Zhong Ji was sometimes normal, sometimes crying. However, after several times of calling the heavens and the earth to be ineffective, she realized that she didn't even have a chance to die. After that, poor little Lori gradually "quieted down". To be precise, she entered a state of "living dead", no longer speaking, let alone laughing.

The dug tu always kept a close eye on it, listening to the attendants' reports on every detail. The decrease in the number of hysteria made him even more convinced of the correct method. Just when he thought that "drug rehabilitation" had entered the most critical situation, Nie Rang intervened again. This man, who also loves little Lori deeply, ran to the palace gate and made a big fuss after learning that she had become inhuman.

After hearing the guard's report, he was shocked. By the time he arrived at the scene, the situation was almost out of control. A group of warriors managed to keep Nie Rang out of the door with great effort. However, his cries had long since climbed over the high palace walls, echoing the cries inside. Zhong Xi seemed to vent all the energy accumulated in the "calm" state for dozens of days, and desperately banged on the palace door.

At this time, the excavation was embarrassing. This situation makes people feel that he is a heinous bad person, like the Fahai who dismantled Xu Xian White Snake, Ma Wencai who killed Liang Zhu, and the Queen Mother who overturned the Cowherd and Weaver Girl Queqiao.

"Dig Tu, you promised me to be kind to her!" Nie Rang, who lost his mind, called the lord's name directly, completely losing etiquette.

"The widow didn't abuse her!" "Only then will she be able to get rid of your shadow completely!" ”

"Do you know what has become of her now?"

"Of course I know, I have my own measure, and I don't need you to dictate to me!" The digging was stern, and he resolutely didn't want Nie Rang to get involved again.

Nie Rang was shocked and finally stopped struggling. He knelt on the ground sadly and couldn't cry: "Your Majesty, is that person inside still the happy and simple little Lori in your mind?" Do you really want to turn her into the walking dead she is now? ”

Hearing this, Dutu's heart also hurt. But he knows that once he relents, he will lose all his efforts. So, he gritted his teeth and rebuked, "What do you want? Let you comfort her? Let you continue to talk to me? In this case, when will Zhong Ji break off with you? ”

In the end, he reminded word by word: "Have you forgotten what you said when you gave me the silkworm?" ”

Nie Rang was speechless, only knew that he was crying bitterly.

Seeing that he had lost his momentum, he hurriedly waved his hand and asked people to take him away, and at the same time asked the attendants to immediately transfer Zhong Xi and hide him in a secret place.

Just when the digging was anxious about the interior, the foreign affairs began to be tense again. According to the reports of Baijian, the envoys of the defense of the country have been active recently, and they have actively appeared in the courts of Song, Cao, Xu, Cai, Chen and other countries. These countries are all close neighbors of Zheng Guo, which inevitably makes him have a bad premonition of being surrounded.

Sure enough, the day after hiding Zhong Xi, Zhou Zhao's envoy came, and it was obvious that the person who came was not good.

Since the defeat of Ji Yijiu's countermeasures against Qin, the position of Wei Hou, the "Holy Zhou Call", has been further consolidated. If he still relied on the Zheng and Jin families before, now he is afraid that he is ready to unload the mill and kill the donkey. So, in great contrast to the past, this time the messenger was quite arrogant.

In the post house, the guard envoy saw that it was Situ who came to receive him, and he scolded him: "Where is Neizai? I am the messenger of the lord of the Zhou Summoning Alliance, so you will send a petty official of the Three Divisions to pick me up? ”

Situ didn't dare to say that he was acting as the internal governor, so he used his expertise to talk nonsense in the clouds.

The guard envoy didn't understand anything, and was even more annoyed: "Don't talk nonsense, ask you Neizai to come and receive you." In addition, take a good look at these to your lord, and if you dare to snub me again, let you taste the power of the 'Holy Week Call'!" With that, he threw a bunch of bamboo slips over.

Di Tu was already in a bad mood, and after listening to it, he was even more angry, but after he turned over the messy pile of bamboo slips, he couldn't help frowning. Some of these things are letters, some are intelligence, and some are minutes of talks, and what they talked about is nothing more than one point, that is, neighboring countries complained to Zhou Zhao about Zheng Guo's misdeeds.

Since the fight against Zheng Guo and the eastward migration, he first destroyed Yu Yi, and then King Qin, and when King Qin returned, he taught Yu Shi's father a hard lesson. In terms of development momentum, the whole world can be said to be second only to the country. Therefore, it is normal for the small countries around to be a little worried. But it is obviously not normal to develop to the point where everyone is in danger, and even to unite against Zheng Guo.

Dutu naturally understands that behind this is the black hand of Old Man Wei. He thought about it for a while, and thought it would be better not to get embattled for now. In this situation of internal instability, Zheng Guode continued to pretend to be a grandson.

As a result, Di Tu temporarily released Neizai, Taizong and other criminal ministers, at least on the surface, pretending to be a scene of harmony between Zheng Guojun and his ministers.

Under the reception of Lord Neizai, the envoy was finally satisfied, and then he went to the hall to meet Uncle Zheng.

As soon as he finished saluting, the guard envoy said condescendingly: "Zhou Zhao asked the ministers to say, Uncle Zheng, you are in a hurry, don't come unharmed?" ”

"Wherever and wherever the widow has something to do, there are many rudenesses, and a banquet will be set up in the future to make amends." Dutu endured the unhappiness and greeted him with a smile.

"What could be more important than the great cause of King Qin?"

"This~, a trivial matter, why worry about it." Di Tu hurriedly changed the topic, "I don't know what happened to the envoy who was thousands of miles away this time?" ”

I saw the guard envoy put his hands in front of him, raised his head slightly, looked at the ministers left and right, and said slowly: "Zhou Zhao gives marriage!" ”
