Chapter 43
Nie Rang thought that while he was bending down, the Lord would peek through the gap in his clothes to his neck and chest.
After confirming that there were no traces of the jade ornament hanging, he was suddenly relieved and said with a smile: "I'll give you another task." Go and tear down the walls of the city by half. According to the standard of the lowest title among the princes and uncles, all the palaces that exceeded the standard of Yu Shifu were demolished. ”
Nie Rang was confused and stunned.
"Go ahead!" The digging was cautious and succeeded, and he quickly sent him away while the other party was unknown.
In this way, after bringing the Northern Kingdom of Beiyu, which was originally quite powerful with the central aftermath, collapsed, Zheng Guo's fleet continued to set off. They threw the timber obtained from the demolition of the palace and the captured flags of the Kingdom of Yu into the Yellow River, so that the military might could follow it down the river and deter the princes downstream.
Digging protruding on the bow of the ship, he was in high spirits for a while. The chief of the hundred rooms complimented: "As soon as the king comes out of the customs, he is invincible, and the princes of the world are unsurpassed!" However, Zheng Bo, who was proud of the battlefield, was disappointed in love, and when he thought of Zhong Xi's elusive heart, he couldn't help but sigh.
Xianzhu was stunned for a moment, but quickly guessed the reason. He continued to pat himself on the back and said, "Don't worry, your lordship. Your demeanor in the past few days, Miss Zhong Ji has seen it in her eyes. In the face of such a heroic hero, no matter how iron-like the heart is, it will melt. ”
"Oh?" Di Tu was skeptical, but remembering the previous few attempts to get close to her ending, he couldn't help but shake his head, "You don't know the changes in the past two years, I'm afraid it's not so easy." ”
"Forgive the ministers for their audacity. As the saying goes, the bell must be tied to the bell, since Lord Right Sima has accompanied Zhong Xi for the past two years, I am afraid that he will have to rely on him to open the girl's heart knot. ”
Digging suddenly fell into deep thought, and felt that it made sense. If Nie Rang has always been loyal to the lord, then the relationship between him and Zhong Ji should be pure, and it is naturally logical to persuade her. However, so many things have happened since returning from Zhongnan Mountain, and he can't return to the state of 100% trust in him when they first met.
After thinking about it, Di Tu still decided to give it a try: "Trouble the chief of the hundred rooms to invite the right Sima." ”
"Whoa." Xianzhu smiled and took the order.
In order to avoid interference, Jie Tu pulled Nie Rang to a small room in the cabin, and ordered Xian Zhu to guard outside and not let others in.
The small chamber was close to the water, like a resonance box, containing the sound of the waves crashing against the bulkheads. Nie Rang sat on his knees, uneasy in his heart. In order not to swing with the hull of the ship, he had to stiffen his body extraordinarily.
Seeing that he was so nervous, he wanted to talk about homely things to ease the atmosphere: "I've been in the mountains for so long, and I'm still used to it after I come back, right?" ”
"Adapt, adapt." Nie Rang nodded like garlic, extremely humble.
"I drank too much a few days ago, so I'm sorry to talk to you."
"Don't dare, don't dare."
"Can you not be so reserved? It's only been two years, are we going to be like this? Seeing him like this, he was a little anxious.
"There is a difference between kings and ministers, and there is a difference between kings and ministers."
The black line on his face was extruded, but he was also very helpless. He didn't bother to go around the bend anymore, and said directly: "Nie Rang, can you do me a favor?" ”
"Please speak up, and the minister will go all out."
"Help me persuade Zhong Ji to make her willing to be my woman."
The conversation was instantly cold, and only the waves were still rubbing hard against the cabin.
Nie Rang's hesitation made Dutu's heart sink. He stared at the other and said, "Didn't you just say you were going to give it your all?" ”
Nie Rang lowered his head and remained silent. After a stalemate, he said timidly: "The prince's children have private feelings, and the ministers can't do anything about them. ”
"How can you be powerless?" Digging Tu was a little angry, "After Zhong Xi made trouble a few times, who doesn't know that she relies on you the most!" ”
Nie Rang seemed to be electrocuted, and immediately bowed to the ground in panic: "Your Excellency is serious." She was simply scared, because the minister had saved her a few times, so she was used to asking me for help. ”
"It's that simple. Now that Zhong Ji has been out of danger for a long time, I have persuaded her a few times, why do you always stick to you? ”
"Your Majesty give her some time, and she'll be fine slowly."
"Haven't I given enough time? How many months has it been? I'm still going to be with you every night! ”
Du Tu finally couldn't help but point out the most unhappy thing about himself, and simply said clearly: "My woman, but I want to be with you at night." Considering that you have been relying on each other like this for the past two years, I also believe that you are my good brother and will not mess around, so I have been putting up with it. But what's the deal with in the long run? What do the people around me think of me? ”
Nie Rang still didn't dare to raise his head, and his body seemed to start trembling slightly.
When he looked at it, his tone softened again: "You are the person who knows me best here, and you know Zhong Xi's position in my heart best." Now in order to marry her, I do not hesitate to suppress the old nobles of Neizai. If Zhong Ji continues to mess around like this, I'm really stressed. You'll help me persuade her, okay? ”
Nie Rang raised his head, tears grooming in the corners of his eyes: "Your Majesty, I understand you, but it's really inappropriate to let the ministers persuade you." ”
"Why?"
Nie Rang didn't speak.
"Didn't you say you understood me?"
Nie Rang still didn't speak.
"Do you want to?"
Nie Rang still didn't speak.
"Could it be? Don't you ......?"
Nie Rang's psychological defense finally collapsed, and he cried bitterly: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry for you, we really didn't expect to see you alive......"
Buzzing his head, what he had been hiding his ears and stealing the bell that he didn't want to think about still happened, and his heart seemed to be ablated by sulfuric acid.
At this moment, he, like all the men in the world who learned that the woman he loved was empathetic, was full of jealousy. Jealousy makes him want to ask, wondering how far his lover and rival have "betrayed" him. Jealousy made him dare not ask, for fear that the truth would blow him even more shamelessly. Poor Dutu, as a dignified prince, was defeated by an inferior samurai in love. The sense of princely nobility that he had finally cultivated was instantly eaten by the inferiority complex of the ground youth in the corner. He couldn't help but shout in his heart: Can't he get the love he wants in the virtual game?
Dig out the pain and learn from the pain, and decide not to give up lightly. The long-term life of Diqing, who has been loved and paid no attention to him, makes him more persistent in this sincere first love than other men. Zhong Xi's sweet smile on the Qiongtai had already been deeply imprinted in his heart. It would be a disaster if it were to be lost.
The digging that had burst into tears pressed the pain in his heart, and said in his heart: "Let it pass, I don't care." As long as you can get her back. ”
Nie Rang glared at the lord in surprise, deeply moved by this unexpected remark. For him, who was full of guilt himself, this declaration of pure love was beyond the imagination of everyone in that era, and made him fully feel the unswerving love of Dutu for Zhong Ji.
"Nie Rang, listen. Zhong Xi is Bao Xi's younger sister, and she is burdened with the slander of a demon girl, and many people intend to get rid of it quickly. In this era of chaos, only I can give her real security. Even if it's for her sake, you should let her come back to me. "Dig the breakthrough first to move with affection, and then know with reason.
At this time, Nie Rang was already powerless. He didn't have the courage to fly away with his beloved. If he reverts to living a reclusive life, poverty will make him feel sorry for Zhong Ji, and betrayal will make him feel sorry for Tutu. Two psychological mountains can overwhelm him.
He wiped away his tears and replied sincerely: "Your Majesty, the minister will not be wrong again and again. From today on, he will be cut off from Zhong Ji. There is only one thing to ask for. ”
"Please."
"Zhong Ji is still young, simple-minded, and may not be as clear about the belonging of feelings as you and me, I hope you will be tolerant. In addition, she has been on the verge of life and death several times, her spirit has been strongly stimulated, and she will inevitably be hysterical when she is afraid. ”
"Yes." Digging Tu nodded, "What if she still has a crush on you?" ”
Nie Rang thought about it, and with a ruthless heart, he felt something out of his arms.
