Chapter 42: Changes in the City
Dutu's eyes suddenly lit up, isn't this the piece of jasper silkworm that Zhong Xi is close to?
The night was as cool as water, the moon was dark, and the clouds on the horizon made the bedroom even hazy. The drunken dug Tu followed the fantasy of the dream, thinking that Zhong Xi had come to his side. He was ecstatic, desperate to pounce on the body, frantically sniffing at the jade ornament with body temperature.
Nie Rang was already accustomed to letting the digging suddenly** beside him, but he never thought that this drunkard would dream of such a hand in the depths. Before he could react, the first kiss was gone, and he was suddenly frightened.
Nie Rang, who was desperately struggling, struggled to push away the hot body of the lord, and staggered back to the corner of the house where the night light could not be illuminated, frightened.
"Huh? What about silkworms? What about the silkworm...... "Confused digging protrusion, I didn't know why, and I touched it on the mat indiscriminately.
Nie Rang was startled, and subconsciously pressed his chest, only then did he understand that it was Zhong Xi who gave him the jade ornament that revealed the filling. He was hesitant to wake up the dug, but he didn't dare to do it now. The poor man had no choice but to curl up in the dark corner where he couldn't see his fingers, silently licking the slightly sweet wine marks left by the other party at the corners of his mouth.
After shouting for a while, he made a mess around him, and then fell into a deep sleep again, almost forgetting the existence of his good friends.
Nie Rang had a lot of thoughts, and the past came to his mind one by one. In fact, when he first met Zhong Xi, he had a good impression of this beautiful girl, but the huge level gap made him never dare to think about it. After knowing the lord's feelings for Xiao Zhongxi, he has been doing his best to save Xiao Lori out of his simple belief in loyalty. However, creation makes people, but fate forcibly pushed them to the point of dependence on each other. In the hopeless situation of Hui Zheng, his selfishness began to revive.
Just when life was calming down, the digging broke in again. The tangled Nie Rang once tried to escape, but he couldn't escape from God's palm, so he had to bury his mind again in pain. Now, cautiously, he became even more entangled: if the king knew all this, how should he face it?
The more Nie Rang thought about it, the more uncomfortable it became, and finally he couldn't bear the pressure like a mountain. He decided to take Zhong Ji away.
Finally until the sky was slightly bright, Nie Rang saw that the other party had no sign of waking up, so he lightly tried to get dressed, and hurriedly escaped from the small room that had been tormented all night. The trouble was that the head of the digging protrusion pressed against a corner of the clothes. He wanted to move, but he didn't dare, for fear of waking him up. Just when he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, he turned over very cooperatively, and muttered: "Nie Rang, my good brother, help me ......"
Nie Rang, who was hurriedly dressing up, was startled at first, and then remembered the scene when he begged him when he was under house arrest by Nei Zai, and couldn't help but feel warm in his heart and his eyes were hot.
In all fairness, digging is not thin on Nie. At that time, it was a great blessing for him to have such a lord who treated him as an equal brother. After Zhong Nanshan returned, no matter how cold he was, the king always regarded him as a confidant, let him lead the troops, and let him make meritorious contributions. If you don't say goodbye, you will inevitably lose an important helper.
Thinking of this, Nie Rang flinched again, he couldn't do such an ungrateful move. After some struggle, he ripped off the silkworm jade ornament on his chest and hid it silently.
It was almost noon when he woke up. Dizzy, he was startled when he saw Nie Rang kneeling beside him neatly dressed.
The atmosphere between the two was delicate. For Nie Rang, he was a little more nervous, so much so that his hands on the placket of his clothes broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, time was passing minute by minute, and the lord never seemed to remember what happened last night, so his hanging heart slowly let go.
Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door broke the peace. Someone came to report that there had been a riot in the city.
Still a little dizzy, he asked weakly, "Is it serious?" ”
"The situation is unknown at this time."
"Your Majesty, Yucheng is currently garrisoned by the right army under my command, and the minister will deal with it." Nie Rang was eager to walk away early, and now he had a valid reason.
Dutu tried to sort out his thoughts, but as soon as he moved his brain, he had a headache, and with a muffled snort in his mouth, Nie Rang ran away as if he were flying.
With the help of the attendants, he changed his clothes, washed up, and ate something, which slowly eased up, and gradually recalled yesterday's wine banquet, recalled Qiang Lanie to sleep with him, and also recalled the jasper silkworm he saw in a trance.
Could it be that this jade ornament ran to Nie Rang's neck? He couldn't help but be surprised, thinking to himself that Zhong Ji said that he lost it, so he didn't deliberately hide it, right? But when I think about it, I don't think it's right, I obviously saw Zhong Ji lying beside me wearing a silkworm, it should still be a dream, right? If so, who is the one who kissed and hugged? Dutu's face turned red with shame in an instant, and he didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Fortunately, at this time, the ministers had already gathered to discuss political affairs in the camp, and they just happened to help him make a difference.
At this time, Neizai had been replaced by Situ Bofu. He was old, and his tone did not have the paternalistic aura of Neizai, but he reported unhurriedly: "There were many changes in Yucheng last night. ”
"Yes, yes, the widow heard about it, is there a riot?"
"I don't dare to talk about the riots, there are some resistances, anyway, some abnormal movements." The old man speaks slowly and logically, and has a fight with the sloth of "Zootopia". The words are all around the corner, and it sounds anxious.
"Is it serious or not?"
"It's too much to say serious, it's not serious, it's too much of an understatement......"
Dutu was impatient, directly interrupted him, and asked Da Sima: "Is there a riot organized by someone?" ”
"Probably not. The riots were not on a large scale, but sporadically in a few parts of the city. ”
"A spark can start a prairie fire. Don't be careless, the situation can't get out of control! ”
"Yes, Lord Right Sima has already rushed to suppress ...... early in the morning"
"yes, is he back with any news?"
"This ......"
Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived. At this moment, with the herald's report, Nie Rang entered the camp and replied: "Your Majesty, the riot has been quelled. ”
"That's good, that's good." Dutu blushed and subconsciously glanced at his neck.
"Lord Youma, who is making trouble?" Da Sima asked.
"At the moment, they are all ordinary people."
"Ordinary people?" Dutu looked puzzled, "In the first battle, the people in the city did not suffer, why did they make trouble?" ”
"It's for the wheat that our army has harvested. At first, some people went to the military station to ask for food, but later the conflict intensified, and some bold people started to grab it, which caused the incident. ”
"Confirm it's ordinary people? There is no aristocrats behind the scenes? ”
"No, the nobles are basically with Father Yushi, and they are all detained in my military camp."
He couldn't help but feel embarrassed, because Nezai had advised him not to rob the food of the common people. Fortunately, this old thorn is not there, otherwise he would have jumped out to fan the flames.
Lord Situ gently persuaded: "Your Majesty, now I, Zheng, have slightly punished Father Yushi, and I can accept it when I see it." The Kingdom of Yu does not share a border with us, the land is occupied and cannot be managed, and the distance between the Kingdom of Qiu and the Kingdom of Zheng is long, and it is time-consuming and laborious to transport the property back. It's better to withdraw as soon as possible and return to Beijing to make another big plan. ”
Today's digging was not as excited as yesterday, he thought about it calmly, and decided to get off the donkey: "What you said is very true. In this way, let Yu Jun go back and let Yu Jun's crown prince go with us as a hostage. As for the property, all the weapons will be taken away, and everything else such as food will be returned to them. ”
"Your Majesty!" The ministers sang in unison. It seems that after yesterday's rectification, everyone's atmosphere in the court is indeed a lot better.
"Nie Rang!" When he was about to leave the door, he suddenly stopped him.
"Whoa." Nie Rang bowed quietly and saluted, but in fact, his little heart hung in his throat again.
