Nejae really couldn't understand the words and deeds of the son in front of him. How did a person who has been smart and filial since he was a child, both civil and military, become so frivolous that he stands out for a woman not long after he came to Hojing? What's more, this woman is a wicked person who almost killed him, a political enemy who threatens his father, and a demon girl who bears ominous legends. He still didn't know anything about Zhong Xi, so after thinking about it, he could only explain that the demon queen's mana was powerful, and in just a few months, he had already charmed this young man with strong blood.

At this time, Dutu was still in a daze, unaware that Neejae was already thinking about how to clean him up. He suddenly remembered that Zhong Ji was going to be sold into slavery, and he was not completely out of danger, and without thinking, he asked Nei Zai to redeem her.

Nejae was furious and refused.

Only then did he realize that he had gone his own way for the sake of selfishness, and had seriously hurt Lord Neizai's fierce loyalty to the Zheng family. He hurriedly explained, unscrupulous, one moment saying that he was just not used to seeing so many treacherous ministers who had taken all the blame, and at another time saying that this was to balance the coup d'état party and the queen's party to show the neutrality of the Situ Mansion.

However, no matter what he said, Naejae turned a deaf ear. He was determined not to let the digging chaos come again.

Back at the house, Nejae had just sent the dug into the backyard, and when he turned around, he had the courtyard door locked. When the digging suddenly reacted, Nei Zai was already kneeling outside the door and said sharply: "Childe forgive your sins!" I was entrusted by the king to escort you to the east and expand the territory for Zheng Guo, and I really can't bear to let you be seduced by the demon queen again. ”

"You dare to put me under house arrest...... "Dutu desperately slapped the copper shop on the door, but Neizai was unmoved.

"I hope that Gongzi bows down and thinks more about state affairs. I will not wait until I leave soon, and when I get to the East, I will return your freedom. If the prince still does not wake up by then, it means that God and the ancestors will no longer bless Zheng Guo, and I will also be entrusted by the king, and I will apologize with death! With that, he resolutely left.

Poor Dutu, who had just been liberated for a day, was locked up again. What's even sadder is that Xiao Zhongxi is not out of danger yet. He couldn't imagine how Zhong Ji, who had become a slave, would be bullied if he couldn't be redeemed immediately.

For the first time, he felt his own incompetence in full. In the past, as a modern society, although he was incompetent, no one paid attention to him, but now he is a nobleman, but he can't even protect the people he likes. Is God destined him to be a waste everywhere? He was sad, ashamed, and angry, and couldn't help but cry out loud.

"Childe's Day mourning."

Just when he was in despair, a familiar voice unexpectedly came from beside him, and he was stunned for a moment, and found that it was Nie Rang, and it turned out that he had been sent to continue to serve.

After months of house arrest, the master and servant had nothing to talk about. After all, digging is crossed by modern people, and there is no strong concept of hierarchy as the ancients. So except for the first few conversations that were more formal, the later ones became more and more casual. As an ancient, Nie Rang still pays attention to the distinction between the upper and lower, but he can't stand the leader from teasing him and making fun of him. He slowly realized that his lord was different, and he slowly let go. On the day that Dig Tu was saved, Nie Rang flew to drink the sword of the rebels, which gave them a little friendship in distress.

These two people are both young people in their prime, and they are both beautiful men, so the little personal affection of the young man for Xiao Zhongxi has long resonated as a guard. Once, digging suddenly started a spring dream and frantically chattered about little Lori, and when he woke up, he saw that it was Nie Rang who was on duty at night. The two big men were embarrassed for a long time, and finally the master simply pulled the little brother and confided in him, saying how he liked this little beauty. After the conversation lasted until dawn, the younger brother fully understood Zhong Xi's status in the master's heart.

Therefore, Nie Rang has actually been paying attention to Zhong Ji.

When he saw his good friend, he immediately turned his brain, as if he saw hope, he didn't care about face and image, and grabbed the other party's sleeve: "Good brother, help me, go and redeem Zhong Ji!" ”

Nie Rang's face was embarrassed.

"I'm begging you, okay?"

"Shhhh Nie Rang's heart softened, and he knelt aside, signaling that there were many slaves standing not far away. He whispered: "Your Majesty shouldn't let you say that, just what the prince commands." "As a courtier of the dugtu, he should also serve the lord unconditionally.

Di Tu danced happily, gave Nie Rang a warm hug made by a modern talent, and excitedly ran around the yard three times, leaving the others with a bewildered face.

After calming down, the two of them discussed the countermeasures in detail. Nejae just let people watch the excavation, and no one cares about the entry and exit of others. Nie Rang took advantage of the will of digging out and took advantage of the opportunity to go out every day to do errands, and first ransomed Zhong Ji and entrusted it to a reliable subordinate. Since Lord Naijae is preparing for the eastward move with great fanfare, it is necessary to recruit many new servants who will move with him. So he found the person in charge and said that this was a relative of his own who had come to join him, so please take care of him. Zhong Xi smoothly blended into the slaves and maids of Situ Mansion, waiting to move east with the brigade. When we get to the east and take power, the rest will be easy.

When she was found, Xiao Zhongxi's eyes were already swollen from crying. As soon as I saw my acquaintance, I couldn't help but cry again, I was really afraid that her eyes would bleed. Little Lori was full of grievances and sadness and had nowhere to vent, but she just hugged Nie Rang tightly, making the big boy a little overwhelmed. He didn't dare to hug her to comfort her, and he couldn't bear to push it away. Nie Rang knew that this was the girl that the lord had taken a fancy, and he felt a little guilty, but at the same time, he felt warm in his heart. After all, he has really never dealt with any girls since he was a child.

When Xiao Zhongxi calmed down a little, Nie Rang comforted her a few words and let her live strongly, while emphasizing that it was Dutu who sent him to save people. After listening to their plan, Zhong Ji seemed to have hope again. Although she is still frightened by nightmares from the past from time to time, and sad from time to time by missing her sister, more often she has begun to look forward to her future life.

And on the Dutu side, since I had a confidant to help, the following days were much more comfortable. At first, he either fought with Nie Rang every day, or ate, drank, and slept profusely, and when he had time, he would think about the state affairs of moving eastward, or pondering and pondering the big plan, which was like a fairy. But as the news of the war in the distance came day by day, the air in the small courtyard gradually became tense.

The situation on the front lines is getting worse and worse. The army of the Western Shen Kingdom turned into an offensive and joined forces with the dog Rong to surround the royal army.

The Qin Wangling was a farce, resulting in the official failure to inform the princes of the Zhou royal family's crisis through any official channels. In antiquity, when information was not developed, this meant that most of the princes did not know anything about it. A small number of princes in Kinai were close and obviously knew that the royal family needed support, but the coup d'état in the court made everyone hesitate. The princes who supported the coup thought to themselves, since Bao Xi, who was on the side of the Son of Heaven, was killed, wouldn't everyone go to rescue the Son of Heaven to find a cut? The princes who opposed the coup simply shouted that they would enter Beijing first to quell the rebellion, in a vain attempt to fish in troubled waters.

In short, no one wants to save the king.

In this case, the royal army's army could not wait for reinforcements, so they had to take the initiative to break through. After many failures, it finally succeeded, but the team was broken up and lost contact. For a moment, the news became confusing. The people of Hojing could not see the king of Zhou You, the son of heaven, nor did they see Situ Zheng Huangong, but ushered in some stragglers who fled, telling the tragedy of the war, which caused panic in the city.

One day, the weather was as hazy as it is now. Nie Rang came early in the morning to report the latest news. Digging Tu asked eagerly, "Is there still no one to be the king of Qin?" ”

Nie Rang shook his head helplessly.

Di Tu silently searched the history books in his mind, trying to recall the princes who "should" come to King Qin in this disaster. Jin and Wei are the main forces in the record to save the Zhou royal family, but these two countries are far away from the pass, and they should not know the battle situation in Hojing at this moment.

Isn't there a single prince in Kinai who is willing to make a move?

Thinking about it, Di Tu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he pulled Nie Rang and asked, "Has Qin Xianggong sent troops?" ”

"Who?" Nie Rang looked ignorant.

He patted his head, knowing that he was making a joke. At this time, the Qin State had not yet been canonized by the Son of Heaven, and the state had not yet been established, let alone the title of princes. Moreover, "Qin Xianggong", "Zheng Huan Gong", "Zhou Youwang" and the like are all posthumous nicknames, and the people who cross it think about it in their own minds are no problem, and others can't understand it when they say it.

So he gestured and said, "It's to win, Dr. Sydri." ”

Nie Rang still couldn't react. He scratched his head in a hurry. At that time, the ancestor of the Qin State was only a minor official, and his reputation was not as thunderous as later. If you don't pay attention to it, most people really don't know.

"It's the one who breeds horses! His ancestors raised horses well and were praised by the king! ”

"Oh~~~" Nie Rang dragged a long tail note and suddenly realized, "This person is loyal, not like those insidious politicians." And as a feud with the dogs, he must have been very active in sending troops. But it is estimated that he is also weak. ”

"Why?"

"Geographically speaking, the fiefdom of Yingkai is not far from the Xishen battlefield. However, the fiefdoms of Yu Shifu, Zhou Gong, and Zhao Gong are in the middle of the two. These three families will definitely not let him lead the troops over. ”

"Damn, these old fritters have to be plugged in everywhere!" He slammed the table with hatred, but he was helpless. Just then, a metal crash interrupted their conversation.

I heard a clang, the door lock fell to the ground, the courtyard door was wide open, and Nejae appeared in front of the door with a serious face, and his expression was exactly the same as when he first saw Dutu.
