Chapter 80: When the king returns, drink the wine of eternal life
The jade abacus with a blue body was waved to the ground, and Baili Zhiheng's face was in a trance. He looked at the graceful and elegant boy in Xuanyi, and shouted like a lost outcast.
The voice was slightly restrained, but he couldn't stop trembling.
"Cousin?"
The young man's eyes were red, a little crazy, and he was no longer in an ordinary leisurely and elegant manner.
Zhou Zhifu was looking down at the paperwork intently, with an elegant side face, glowing with a faint glaze, warm and quiet.
Hearing this call, he looked up and tilted his chin slightly. There was a look of contemplation between his eyebrows, and he hesitated.
After a slight pause, Zhou Zhifu picked up the abacus from the ground and handed it to him.
"No worries."
Zhou Duci's handwriting, Dongyang's national seal, these are facts that cannot be justified.
Baili Zhiheng stood up suddenly, took a few steps away from the round table and stepped forward to open the door, he turned around.
"I'm going to be quiet."
As soon as he turned around to leave, he bumped into a young man dressed as a small guy. The young man raised his head, his lips were red and his teeth were white, and his smile was like a green sun and moon.
It was Jiang Xiaogongzi who tried his best to climb the wall and came out.
"Worry-free!"
He enthusiastically stepped forward to beckon, but the brocade-robed young man waved him away directly and walked out without saying a word.
Jiang Lanhe looked around at the four people sitting opposite each other in the room, and finally his eyes fell on Duanmu Xihua. He touched his head and asked confusedly.
"Cousin, what's going on?"
Unable to speak, she mentally tried to organize the language, thinking about how to speak to him.
However, Jiang Xiaogongzi was bent on Baili Zhiheng, and after asking this sentence, it was not a big deal to look at a few people.
He glanced at the abacus left on the table and stepped forward to tuck it in his cuff. didn't stop any longer, and went back to chase a hundred miles.
The few people at the table fell silent again, as if they were locked in a stalemate. Duanmu Yuhua pondered for a while, and took the lead in speaking.
"So what we need to do now is to find the savior note and the Purdue knife."
Lu Weizhen nodded at her first, promising a look of approval. Then he turned his gaze to look at the dark-faced man in Xuanyi and asked.
"Your Highness, what do you think?"
"Huh?"
"Your Highness, according to the carefree nature. As long as Dongyang is still Emperor Dusk, not only will he not lend you grain, but he will even be your enemy. ”
Zhou Zhifu raised his eyes, and his fingertips, which were as white as snow, clenched the edge of the teacup.
"What do you want to say?"
The young man in white sighed leisurely, his pupils as black as ink.
"So, Your Highness."
His gaze was suddenly lonely and fierce, looking at each other in pairs, and the young man's eyes were gloomy. It's like an endless abyss, and if you look at it for a while, you have the illusion of being sucked in.
"Let's take the throne."
He repeated it twice.
"Let's take the throne."
"Your Highness, ascend the throne."
If you really want to help the people of Dongyang, if you really have the world in mind......
Now, only if you sit in that seat can you have enough power, enough strength to face the dirt that hides in the shadows.
"Although Your Highness is older than me, it is real. In terms of seniority, he can be regarded as my junior brother. ”
"Your Highness, it's time for you to make a choice."
Zhou Zhifu asked.
"And what about him? Did you go back? ”
Who? The conversation between the two is like a dumb puzzle.
"Well, he's gone back, and that seat is his. If I hadn't been thinking about my mother's kindness, I would have taken it back a long time ago. ”
"Your Highness, this Dongyang disaster, there is only one way to solve all the difficulties, and that is to welcome back to China without worry."
"The key that can unlock the wealth of the world is the Baili family, if you want to succeed, they will be your help."
Yes, the current disaster in Dongyang Kingdom, if the Baili family is here, everything can be solved. They hold most of the world's wealth, and their business spreads across the three kingdoms.
"Xiaoyi can hide thousands of families, the rice is fat and the corn is white, and the public and private warehouses are abundant."
Regardless of the gold and silver treasures, just the grain and rice stored in the warehouse of the Baili family are enough for the people of a country to eat for several years. As long as they are willing, the dilemma that Dongyang is facing now is just a trivial matter.
But in the previous unjust case, because of the evidence of treason, the prime minister of Baili was forced to a dead end, and the Baili family was destroyed overnight.
They were forced to leave Dongyang and move to Beixiang, but they never stopped searching for truth and justice.
Now the truth in front of them is like this, how can they face the family and country they have been in for so long, and how can they face up to the monarch they have served loyally.
Chilling...... Disappointed...... Abhor...... Why?
For Dongyang and Emperor Dusk, now their hearts are full of hatred.
So, what to do. Zhou Zhifu looked at the tea cup in his hand, the outer wall was dark and deep, and the inside was white and pure. The floating blue leaves float in the water, swaying.
Lu Weizhen saw his entanglement in his eyes, although his tone was gentle, the content of his words was tight.
"Your Highness, you have to prove to them - to worry-free, to Nanzhou, to Aunt Nanxu, and even to the Baili family, you are different from Emperor Dusk."
"You have to give them an account, or you have to ask them for forgiveness."
"Your Highness, whether you are an enemy or a friend, whether you advance or retreat, it is all in your thoughts."
Looking at the white-clothed young man in front of him, Zhou Zhifu suddenly thought that Lu Xingyun came to Dongyang to see him for the last time, and that was the first time he took the initiative to ask Mr. for help.
Before the two parted, he asked him a few questions.
"I look at Mr., there is nothing in my heart, and I also have a strong concern."
Lu Xingyun nodded, not denying it.
"Everyone will have concerns, because people are not plants and trees, they all have feelings."
"Sir, people are born with affection and cannot be parted with. If one day, how to solve the problem of being trapped by love. ”
There are many things that Zhou Zhifu can't understand about - "love", such as the love between family and country, the love between blood relatives, and the love between men and women......
This doubt, he has been accumulating for a long time, and today he happened to have the opportunity to ask it.
Lu Xingyun didn't expect him to ask such a question, and after being stunned, he smiled slightly and replied.
"It's actually a good thing to be trapped by love, which shows that you use love. Many people seem to be affectionate, but they have nothing in their hearts. ”
"Everyone has affection, affection is affection, thin affection is affection, affection is affection, and ruthlessness is affection. It is precisely because of your deep affection that you will be trapped by love. ”
"The love is deep and the meaning is heavy, and it is not the deep word that I see, but the heavy word that I end. Sacrificing personal feelings for the sake of righteousness, I think it is the meaning of deep and righteous love, and it is also the choice you have to make when you are trapped by love. ”
"But wouldn't it be better to have the best of both worlds, why do you have to have a trade-off?"
The gentleman looked at him with a mild-hearted brow in his eyes.
"It's nice to have the best of both worlds, but if there's a comparison, there's always a choice."
"Decline, if you really don't know what to do. Just ask for a clear conscience and peace of mind. ”
“……”
He raised his head, and the white-clothed young man in front of him seemed to overlap with the figure of Mr. in his memory, and Zhou Zhifu said firmly.
"I'll do it."
He will give an explanation to the Baili family, he will prove his love to them, and he will do everything in his power to ask for their forgiveness.
Xuanyi Gongzi obviously looked at Lu Weizhen answering, but it seemed that he was answering others through him.
But this doesn't matter, the important thing is that what Zhou Zhifu said he would do, he would definitely do. Even if it's impossible, as long as he says it, he will definitely be able to.
Lu Weizhen got up and poured a few cups of tea with a white jade pot. One cup was in his hand, and the remaining three cups were handed to several people on the table.
He first raised a glass to Zhou Zhifu.
"Replace wine with tea, I wish Your Highness that you will get what you want when you go to Dongyang. The will of all the people of the world is what you do. ”
"Honghu goes thousands of miles, and the warm wine is waiting for the king's return. When you return, you will drink the longevity wine together. ”
Zhou Zhifu also got up, took a sip of tea and put it down. Nodding to the other two people at the table counted as goodbye.
When he looked at the girl in red, his eyebrows became warmer and softer.
"Mingzhu'er, the happiest thing about me coming to Beixiang this time is probably that I met you. So there's something I want to give you. ”
"It's a life-saving grace, and it's also a proof of our acquaintance, I hope you don't refuse."
He took out a jade pendant from his sleeve and handed it to her, why did he show affection? The beautiful jade is adorned. This gift is justified.
But Lu Weizhen saw the phoenix totem depicted on the jade pendant, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly. The next second, the girl was about to reach out to take it, but he had already taken a step in front of her.
The young man's clothes are like snow, and he is pure and harmless. But the eyes under the mask seemed to be smiling, revealing a slight sharpness.
"Your Royal Highness, since it is a token for the future crown princess, don't give it away easily, it's not appropriate."
Duanmu Xihua was stunned, and immediately retracted his hand when he heard this.
Zhou Zhifu raised his eyebrows and looked at the young man in white, with some banter in his eyes.
"Fusu, this jade pendant is in my hand. I couldn't define what it used to be, but now I say what it stands for, and it's what it is. ”
"Now, this jade pendant represents the friendship between me and Mingzhu'er, how about it?"
Hey, that's almost a bit of a shamelessness. But this person has a smiling and unconventional attitude.
Now Lu Weizhen was deflated, and he really couldn't think of any other reason to refuse.
And even if Zhou Zhifu said that this jade pendant now represents 'close friendship', he still feels that the diaphragm should be incomparable.
After thinking for a moment, Duanmu Yuhua picked up a cup of tea on the table and said to him.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness, but I didn't ask for anything to save you. If His Royal Highness must repay something, please be able to be with Beixiang Yongxiu after ascending the throne. ”
"I respect Your Highness, I wish you all the best in going to Dongyang."
Seeing the girl's straight face, Zhou Zhifu chuckled, picked up the tea cup that had been put down and took a sip.
"Okay, we'll see you again, Mingzhu."
