Uncle Zhao took Xiuxiu from Dazai Palace to Qiongtai Hall to pay respects, Bao Xi was sitting on the chair in her back hall in a daze, since she knew the news of the king's disappearance, she was often like this, and her heart was lost, always like something was missing. She began to worry about what she would do if the king really died, as they said he said.

Every time I think about it, I can't help but cry.

"Mother?" After Uncle Zhao brought it into the house, he bowed to Bao Xi, and when he heard the voice, Bao Xi wiped away the tears on his cheeks, raised his head and looked at Uncle Zhao, "Uncle is here?" Her gaze moved to Xiuxiu again, "You watch from the door, don't let anyone else come." ”

"Yes, sis!" Xiuxiu nodded, exited the door, and closed the door.

Uncle Zhao sat down opposite Bao Xi, "Niangniang sent someone to call me, but what happened?" ”

"Uncle asked me about my dreams today, right?" Bao Xi looked at Uncle Zhao and asked, this question sounded a little funny, and he had to nod, "If Niangniang's dream is entrusted by the king, then ...... I have already analyzed the place where the king is, and I plan to ask for reinforcements from the Jin Kingdom. ”

"What if Jin Guo refuses?" Bao Xi looked at Uncle Zhao and asked.

"So...... I have to have Uncle Zheng Lao, "Uncle Zhao has long thought of this possibility, after all, the relationship between the Jin State and the Qin State is not a day or two, the Qin State sent troops, I am afraid that the Jin State may not help the Great Zhou, but as long as Zheng Boyou is a prince of the Zheng State for one day, then this Zheng State can be used by the court and the central government one day."

"Uncle does you know that Yingde brought 20,000 soldiers and horses to the pickaxe capital?" Bao Xi looked at Uncle Zhao and asked.

"What!" Uncle Zhao was obviously taken aback, if the situation was turbulent today, he put all his eyes on the vicinity of the Qi State in the east, but he didn't notice that the Qin State had made such a big move, now it is not as good as in the past, at this moment there is no Chu army near Baocheng to suppress the formation, if the Qin soldiers attack the pickaxe capital, I am afraid that the pickaxe capital will soon be lost, and there are not many soldiers in the city, and there are even fewer generals.

"Uncle remember what he said to me in the morning?" Bao Xi looked at Uncle Zhao and asked, "Uncle said that the king is now in a stalemate in the battle, so he can't keep in touch with the pickaxe capital, but?" ”

"This ......," Uncle Zhao swallowed, "I just want to reassure you." ”

"Does my uncle want to reassure me, or does he want to stabilize me? Knowing that as soon as I move, the world will inevitably rise up and move, and now if I can carry this ceremony to worship the heavens, then it will be considered safe. Uncle thinks so? Bao Xi looked at Uncle Zhao and asked, but Uncle Zhao didn't speak, and Bao Xi asked again, "If I leave with the three thousand soldiers and horses left by the king, then ...... What are my odds of winning? ”

"When are you leaving?" Uncle Zhao looked at Bao Xi, and he couldn't force her to stay, after all, when the king left, he had said before, if he was shrouded in horse leather, he would ask Bao Xi to take three thousand soldiers and horses out of the pickaxe capital, and now it was time for her to use the king to give her rights.

"I just want to know what the odds are?" Bao Xi asked.

"Look at when you go, if you leave now, I'm afraid that the chances of winning are not small, but if the Qin State besieges the pickaxe capital another day, it will be ...... to leave at that time" Zhao Shudai shook his head, three thousand against twenty thousand, Rao is three thousand soldiers and horses in the army are all fierce generals with one as ten, and how can it be that the 20,000 soldiers and horses of Qin State are not elite divisions? 3,000 to 20,000, such a huge disparity, has to be faced, and Yingde will be hated to the bones, coupled with Bao Hongde's ill intentions, I am afraid that it is Bao Xi's trip, and there will be more than auspicious.

"Is it just impossible to leave?" Bao Xi asked.

"Yes!" Uncle Zhao nodded.

"If I leave now, will the capital be in chaos?" Bao Xi asked again, and Uncle Zhao continued to answer, "Yes!" ”

"If I stay until the princes' court, will I be able to stabilize for a while?" Bao Xi asked, this question made Uncle Zhao already confused, so he could only nod, "Yes!" ”

"I will lend you 3,000 soldiers and horses, and within a few days will I get news of the king?" Bao Xi looked at Uncle Zhao, his eyes were firm and burning, and Uncle Zhao gasped, he only thought that Bao Xi wanted to save his life, but he didn't want to be so attentive? I also felt very comforted in my heart, and at the same time, I was worried about the resentful couple in this life, "There will be news in three months!" ”

"Can you hurry up any longer?" Bao Xi asked, she was afraid that she would not be able to take off for three months.

"I can only try my best," Uncle Zhao said with a look at Bao Xi, Bao Xi took a deep breath, and finally made this extremely difficult decision, "Three thousand soldiers and horses ask Uncle to dispatch, immediately leave the capital of the pickaxe and go to Dongyi to find the king, live to see people and die...... I want to see the corpse! Bao Xi's last sentence was extremely difficult, and the tears fell uncontrollably, "Nian'er and Xiuxiu also asked their uncle to take out the pickaxe capital and send it to Zheng Guo, this matter must be kept low-key and must not be known to others." ”

"Nian'er, you don't have to worry, I'll arrange this matter." Uncle Zhao nodded, his hands were clasped in one place, Bao Xi took out all his net worth and life, put it on the gambling table and waited for Uncle Zhao to buy and leave, the pressure in his heart was also unprecedented, "Uncle Zheng came just now, what did he say to you?" ”

"No," Bao Xi said as he looked at Uncle Zhao, "I just casually reminisced about the past, and there was nothing else." She didn't want anyone to know the news that the king might be poisoned at the moment, so she had to hide the matter bluntly, Zheng Boyou didn't mean to drink because Bao Xi was a drunkard, this matter was already known to passers-by, Uncle Zhao nodded, "Between you and Uncle Zheng, you have to pay attention, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble!" ”

"Yes, I see!" Bao Xi nodded, "I will keep my distance from Uncle Zheng, uncle, please go back to Dazai Palace first and then make arrangements, right?" ”

Uncle Zhao nodded, got up and was about to leave, suddenly stopped his body again, turned his head to look at Bao Xihu and asked suspiciously, "How did Niangniang know that the king was missing and not in the war?" ”

"I believe in my own feelings," Bao Xi looked at Uncle Zhao and said, "If it weren't for the king's guidance in my dreams several times that day, I'm afraid I would not be able to fight against the Qin soldiers." Whether my uncle believes it or not, that's the case. She said indifferently, without showing the slightest expression of horror on her face, Uncle Zhao couldn't help but believe Bao Xi's words, nodded, and left.

There is still a month before the ceremony, Zheng Boyou came several times to ask to come in to see Bao Xi, but he was blocked by Bao Xi and was not allowed to enter. It wasn't until Bao Xi got the exact time of Qin Bing's entry into Beijing that she asked Xiuxiu to go and pass Zheng Bo, which made Xiuxiu quite puzzled, and Zheng Boyou, who received the summons, even more panicked, I don't know what Bao Xi did this for, but there was always a sense of anxiety in my heart.

Zheng Boyou returned to the palace with Xiuxiu, Bao Xi was waiting for him in the back hall, different from the past, today's Bao Xi actually held Nian'er in his arms, while muttering and humming a ballad while staring at the child in his arms with a motherly look, his eyebrows and eyes are more and more like the king, Bao Xi hugged Nian'er tightly, trying to get a trace of comfort from the child's body.

"!" Zheng Boyou bowed and said.

Bao Xi glanced at Xiuxiu, and Xiuxiu immediately nodded and said, "I'll wait outside the door." ”

"You close the door, you don't have to go out." Bao Xiu said, today called Xiuxiu and Zheng Boyou to come together, there is something to tell Zheng Boyou, Xiuxiu hesitated, looked Bao Xi up and down, and felt uneasy, always felt that Bao Xi made this scene a bit like a farewell. She closed the door and folded back, and Bao Xi handed the child in her hand into Xiuxiu's arms.

Bao Xi looked at Zheng Boyou and took a deep breath, and knelt in front of him with a "bang".

"Mother?" Zheng Boyou shouted in horror and stretched out his hand to help, but Bao Xi shook his head and signaled him not to, Zheng Boyou had to close his eyes, forced himself to stand and looked at Bao Xi and asked, "Niang Niang has nothing to do with it, why is it so...... Tormented? ”

"I have been in Beijing for three years, and since then I have severed relations with my father, and then I have a dispute with my brother, almost to the point of life and death. The king treated me sincerely, but I was forced to the Dongyi battlefield, and now my life and death are uncertain. Mrs. Zheng entrusted Nian'er to me to take care of her, and now I am still too busy to take care of myself, but I am afraid that I will no longer be able to fulfill Mrs. Zheng's entrustment, so I can only ask Uncle Zheng to take care of Nian'er on my behalf. Bao Xi looked up at Zheng Boyou and said, her eyes were extremely firm.

"What do you want to say?" Zheng Boyou felt that the strength on his body was also passing a little bit, he couldn't stand anymore, knelt in front of Bao Xi, the current scene made people feel funny, but this atmosphere was absolutely not laughable, Xiuxiu, who was watching from the sidelines, was panicked in his heart, holding Nian'er tightly with his hands, couldn't help but shed tears, and called softly in a small voice, "Niangniang......"

She thought that Mrs. Zheng's deadline was the saddest time in her life, but she didn't expect that now Bao Xi's almost parting from life and death made people feel even more uncontrollable sorrow, tears fell from Xiuxiu's face uncontrollably, but she didn't dare to make the slightest movement, which disturbed Bao Xi and Zheng Boyou.

"Please Uncle Zheng take Nian'er out of the capital city," Bao Xi looked at Zheng Boyou and said, "I have already asked my uncle to escort you away in this matter, and in the future, Nian'er will ask the Zheng family to take care of him, please Zheng Bonian will raise Nian'er as an adult for the sake of Nian'er is the bloodline of your Zheng family!" ”

"Wow......" Nian'er in Xiuxiu's arms cried first, hoarse, and kept struggling in Xiuxiu's arms.
