With the dispersal of the court, Mi Tong also left the table with everyone, but along the way, all he heard was some gossip, or indifference and ridicule. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"It's so self-defeating, I dare to test my divination skills with Dr. Bu Yin!"

"He's just trying to live a few more days and stall for a few more days. He destroyed Jin Zu, if it weren't for Jun Ao's son, I'm afraid he would have apologized a long time ago, how could he be allowed to wait until today! ”

"Yes, but Jun Ao seems to be partial!"

"But now that he has openly made a covenant in the palace, Jun Ao has no way to favor him, he is really asking for his own death."

"Doctor Shang is right, but do you think he will be like last time this time? Really won Bu Yin's hexagram! The last time I sacrificed to the rooftop, no one was optimistic! Not yet ...... by him"

"No way. The last time he sacrificed to the rooftop, he was really lucky, the old man heard that the altar was completely built by the Gongyi, he went just to go through the motions, so he went to find someone! ”

"Really?"

……

Mi Tong smiled slightly when he heard it, and he didn't refute it, but he didn't hear it. However, everyone's ridicule, in the depths of Mi Tong's heart, left a little hurt, slightly unhappy. Fortunately, the road to the palace was not one, and in order to avoid idlers, he walked to the remote garden that was rarely visited.

At this time, in late spring and early summer, there are not many flowering plants, and there are lush trees everywhere. Under the majestic rain, the trees were all drooping and wilting. However, at this time, the trees are not in trouble, but ready to go, and if you look carefully, you will find that in fact, every tree at this moment is really full of vitality.

Mi Tong looked at the scene in front of him, and was a little stunned, he seemed to see himself frustrated at this time, and asked himself if he was also preparing to go?

"Tong'er! What are you thinking? ”

Suddenly, a voice sounded behind Mi Tong. turned around suddenly, but found that the soldier who followed him to his grounded foot had left at some point, and standing behind him was his father Ao-Chu Xiaoao-Xiong Kan.

"Uh, how did Father Ao come here?" Mi Tong asked rhetorically without answering. The tone was slight, without the previous conversation and laughter, with a slight trace of melancholy and frustration.

Chu Xiaoao looked at Mi Tong, but did not answer, turned his head to look at the trees in the rain, and then said, "You and I, father and son, how many days have we not spoken in such private." It's been six or seven years, right? ”

"Yes!" I can't tell you the specifics, so I just replied simply.

"It's the widow who neglects you too much!" Chu Xiaoao blamed himself slightly, and was stunned for a while before continuing: "Your mother's status is low, and her fate is too bad and she died early, so the widow should have cared more about you. It's just that the widow neglected you because he was busy with his official duties. However, Tong'er, as a father, is the king of the Chu State, and the tribes are only the heads, and some things are also involuntary, and the interests of the Chu State must be put first, even if you are a widow's child, it is no exception. ”

Hearing this, Mi Tong turned his head to look at Chu Xiaoao, smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Erchen knows!" ”

Chu Xiaoao looked at it and sighed, before continuing: "Previously, you built the sacrificial platform and made great contributions to the Chu State, but you destroyed the Supreme Treasure Jin Ancestor of the Chu State and made a mistake. This Jin Zu was left by the ancestors, do you know its status in the Chu State? All the countries in the world have national treasures, but Chu is located in the southern barbarians, which has long been separated from the Central Plains culture, and the ancestors have not left any rare treasures, and a piece of original copper has been passed down from generation to generation with the Chu country. But you ...... Alas! ”

Mi Tong listened to it and said silently in his heart: "There are no rare treasures in Chu State? Not now, but in the future, He's Bi, that's not comparable to any treasure! ”

However, Mi Tong's face did not show it. I saw Chu Xiaoao shake his head and continued: "Jin Zu will refine it when it is refined, fortunately, it is useful!" The widow punished you with grounding, but he really protected you. It's just that now, you are boasting about Haikou in the main hall, if you lose, even the widow who is Jun Ao will not be able to save you. Moreover, this crusade against the power country, the 40,000 soldiers dispatched by the Chu State, this is almost all the strength of the Chu State, if it fails, the Chu State will become the 'fat' of other countries. Chu State can't afford to lose! ”

Mi Tong listened to Chu Xiaoao's words, smiled slightly, recovered his previous spirit, and said lightly: "Father Ao still thinks that what Tong said above the court is a joke?" ”

Chu Xiaoao said: "I don't know if you are joking, but judging from the current situation, it seems to be more beneficial to the country!" ”

"Yes!" Mi Tong said categorically: "However, God is on the side of the Chu State!" Father Ao, rest assured, although the sons are not 100% sure of the victory of the Chu State, they are still 90% sure! ”

"Ugh!" Chu Xiaoao was slightly surprised and asked, "Are you sure?" ”

"Erchen is sure!" Mi Tong smiled lightly, saw that the rain was a little lighter, and then bowed to Chu Xiao Ao, and continued: "If Father Ao has nothing else to do, please allow the son to retire!" ”

"Uh, okay!"

……

When he returned to his residence, he felt more and more that these national affairs had taken up too much of his time, and if this matter was over, he would put the matter of finding a jade expert on the agenda, which was directly related to the identification of the authenticity of the family in the future.

Looking for a jade expert also has to have a direction, and hurriedly summoned his subordinates to ask: "Do you know that there are jade connoisseurs in my Chu Kingdom?" ”

When the guards heard Mi Tong's question, they were all stunned at first, and they all laughed out loud, and scrambled to say: "Gongzi is really joking, how can I have that kind of capable talent in Chu State, this kind of jade master is only available in the big countries of the Central Plains, and his ability to appreciate jade is also not confined." ”

Mi Tong was also very surprised when he heard it, he didn't expect that the Chu State at this time would be so backward that there was not even a jade worker, no wonder his father Ao said that there was no treasure in the Chu State just now, and a piece of raw copper was passed down from generation to generation. It is no wonder that in history, Bian He's two sacrifices and his family were cut off because of the incompetence of the jade worker. , think about it, shout for this Bian and this guy.

"No, in order to find the jade worker, this trip to the Central Plains, I'm afraid I still have to take a trip. It's good to see the customs of the Central Plains, but what kind of identity should I use to go? Central Plains, Central Plains ......" Mi Tong thought secretly in his heart.

But here, another soldier came to report: "It's not good, it's not good, the old lady's lone army went deep, he was ambushed by Quanguo, and the first station was lost, losing 2,000 soldiers and horses." At this time, they are trapped on a small hillside, waiting for rescue. I'm afraid it won't last long. ”

Hearing this, Mi Tong stood up from his seat abruptly and asked, "What about the prince's army?" ”

"The prince's army is still blocked by the flood, and it is in a dilemma, and it is too busy to take care of itself. And I heard that the heavy grain and grass behind it could not keep up in time due to the heavy rain, and it was also in danger! ”

"Oh!" Mi Tong also became a little worried when he heard this, and at the same time looked at the sky, thinking in his heart: "Gong loses piety, Gong loses piety, I will rely on you now, but don't make any mistakes!" ”
