"Don't!" Seeing that the skin as white as snow had been scratched with a shallow blood mark, he knelt down in front of Zhong Xi with a thud, and wailed, "Are you really crazy? ”

Zhong Ji's tears suddenly poured down, and they all fell on the bronze sword, fused with the red blood, and flowed freely along the blood trough.

"Don't mess around, I'll promise you whatever you want." He was about to go crazy, and he was full of regret.

"Give me back my brother, and I don't want anything else."

Dutu's heart was cold, and he sat on the ground depressed. Silent, he finally understood that his isolation of Zhong Ji during this period of time had completely failed. He can erase Nie Rang in reality, but he can never erase Nie Rang in her heart. However, he was really unwilling, and always felt that he had a chance not to go this far. Countless assumptions are like a hundred claws scratching his heart, making him suffer, making him blame, and making him regret.

Zhong Ji seemed to lose patience and pushed the blade in a little more, and more blood gushed out.

At that moment, he was born of love and hate, and he really wanted to let her go. If you can't get it yourself, why save it for others?

However, in the end, love triumphed over hate. Holding back tears, he struggled for the last time: "Zhong Ji, you tell me." In your mind, do you prefer Nie Rang or me? ”

"Nie Rang." Zhong Ji didn't hesitate at all, and her cold answer completely shattered Dutu's heart.

"Okay, I'll give Nie Rang back to you. If you believe me, put down your sword, and if you don't, then ......"

As soon as Zhong Ji's hands were released, the bronze sword fell in response, and he fell to the ground and fainted. The maids swarmed up and sent her to treatment.

He turned around and left, unwilling to take another look, and his sad tears burst instantly.

Seven days later, the autumn wind was bleak, and a lonely team of carriages stopped outside the gate of the capital. He lifted the curtain and gazed at Zhong Ji affectionately. This little goddess who once haunted him didn't say a word at the moment, just knelt down in front of him.

She was silent for a long time before she spoke: "Xie Junshang sent me back to Nie Rang." ”

He smiled awkwardly and waved his hand, "Why bother? I am the one who disrupted your lives, and I shouldn't have brought you back from Zhongnan Mountain in the first place. ”

Zhong Ji said goodbye: "Your kindness will be reciprocated in the future." ”

"No need." Digging Tu sighed, "We don't want to see each other again." ”

The two fell silent again, letting the curtain shiver in the cold wind.

"Do you know what day it is?"

Zhong Ji raised her head and shook it slightly.

"Remember the first time we met in Qiongtai?" Feeling self-inflicted, he shifted his gaze to the gloomy sky and said sadly, "It was also a late autumn day, and today is the second anniversary. ”

The wind whimpered for a few seconds, and Zhong Ji began to sobb softly.

"Okay, let's not talk about sadness." "Do you remember the song I sang to you on the road?" I promise you, I'm going to fill in the words again. ”

"Yes." Zhong Ji raised her head, a smile in her teary eyes.

He cleared his throat, recalled the happy times he had spent with Zhong Ji in his mind, and sincerely read out the narration at the beginning of "Flawless":

"I will always remember the perfect days you brought me."

Then, he gently sang the lyrics he had filled in with the Book of Songs.

You weep like rain,

The clothes are always flawless,

I haven't seen the gentleman in sight.

Pick up your years,

Qingqingzi Jinhua,

I see a gentleman, but I have mixed hearts.

Guan Guan Ju dove who still remembers,

Yan Yan Cha Chi Yu,

Have you seen a gentleman grow old together, will he be flawless?

The beauty is scorching,

Wild goose fence,

Jing Nutong pipes her hair.

Dimension leaf water flawless,

What do you want,

The dragon shield is dumb.

The wind is full of a pool of leaves,

Bright moon and,

You're crying flawlessly.

Three autumn picks Ge Manjia,

Is it still kept?

The flawlessness of July's fire.

After singing the song, he patted the horse lightly and let it run towards the vast west.

The tragedy took a toll on the excavators. In addition to emotional frustration, it is also very embarrassing politically. Although the ministers did not dare to discuss it publicly, they all hated this demon girl behind their backs, thinking that she had caused the monarch to turn against the important ministers of the court. Now that the bamboo basket is empty, digging has become a big laughing stock.

Di Tu did not complain about Zhong Ji or the minister, but counted all the accounts on Wei Hou's head. The seeds of hatred between him and the old fox have grown into towering trees, and he vows to take revenge when he has the chance.

Wei Hou is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he really saw through the plan to delay the army. He directly sent someone to send an edict to reprimand him in the tone of "Holy Zhou Zhao", and listed the three major sins of Zheng Bo: one is to leave the duty of the king without permission, the second is to destroy the princes for no reason, and the third is to disobey Zhou Zhao's marriage. At the same time, he also issued a wide range of documents, officially calling on neighboring countries to unite against Zheng Guo. All of a sudden, the princes of Song, Cao, Xu, Cai, Chen and other princes followed the defense of the country and clamoured.

Zheng Guo's court was in an uproar for a while, and the worst-case scenario predicted by Nezai finally appeared. Some of the bold nobles even began to attack the monarch for his missteps in order to rehabilitate the former traitors.

Dutu looked coldly at the undercurrent surging in the hall, and shouted loudly: "Where is Da Sima?" Remember your promise? ”

"I don't dare to forget!" Jing Sheng came out of the ranks, and his steps were very firm, "Self-defense has disturbed my court, and the ministers have been fighting hard and swearing to fight the enemy to the end!" ”

This sonorous voice echoed in the courtroom, suppressing all the noise in every corner. Those who had been on the verge of moving shrank one after another.

He was very satisfied with Sima's performance, and he said solemnly: "Since King Qin, the widow has always treated Wei Hou with great courtesy, and even assisted him in ascending the throne of Zhou Zhao. Although he has been trying to interfere in Zheng's internal affairs, we have been reasonable and responsible, and we have never met each other in arms. Now, Wei Hou is really too deceitful, forcing the widow to fight back. ”

"The minister is willing to help the king to resist to the death!" Suo Qiu led the three divisions of the inner court, and came out to support loudly after Sima. There were still Situ and Sikong left in the three divisions of the outer court, and when they saw this situation, they had no choice but to kneel down and second.

It seems that the reform of Dutu has indeed been fruitful, and the entire imperial court team can already be able to fight wherever it is.

After unifying the thoughts of the ministers, Di Tu began to inspire everyone's fighting spirit: "The Marquis of Wei provoked the royal family to fight first, and the allies of King Qin were bullied last, and the offended were all great power figures such as the Son of Heaven, the widow, the Marquis of Jin, and the Duke of Lu. If these people are united, how can they be compared to small countries like Cao, Xu, Cai, and Chen? So you don't have to be too nervous. Heaven is clear, on my side, I will be able to help the widow survive this calamity! ”

This analysis, coupled with the aura of the god of war that he had erected step by step, did give confidence to many swingers. There was a moment of excitement in the court.

So, digging and struck while the iron was hot and began to lay out preparations for war. What he values most is still intelligence, and he has to report every day to ensure that he can get the latest developments at any time. At the same time, he sent Jing Sheng to lead Zheng Shi to the northeast, preparing to rush to the edge of the Yellow River before Wei Shi crossed the river. Siying Suoqiu took Long Xiang and Hu Ben to maneuver around the capital.

The squires hung their maps high and spent each night in their dormitories trying to break up the coalition. He believed that the momentum of the coalition forces to bluff people mainly lies in the word "joint." If you can make them unable to connect, it will be more than half the battle.

From the perspective of the geographical situation, Weiguo is in the northeast of Zheng Guo, which is very close. If it weren't for the Yellow River in the middle, they would soon be able to kill along the flat Central Plains. Therefore, the task of digging and explaining to Jing Sheng is to use natural danger to prevent the guard from crossing the river.

Song and Cao are located in the east, the distance is relatively far, and there is no need to worry for a while. However, although Cao Guo is small, Song State is the second oldest in the coalition army after Wei Guo, and his strength should not be underestimated. Digging Turf just hasn't figured out a good way to deal with them yet.

Although Xu, Chen, and Cai in the south are the most numerous, they are all really small countries with boogers, but they are the weakest. Moreover, if they want to unite with the Weishi in the north, not only will they have to travel a long way, but they will also have to pass through the territory of Zheng Guo before they can pass. I don't know what these monarchs think. Even if you are really worried that you will be bullied like Yu Yi, then you should not go far and go to the troubled waters of defending the country.

With a twist of his eye, he decided to cut them in.
