Isn't Bao Xi's heart filled with this sense of powerless vicissitudes? It's just that she can't show this panic and uneasiness, she can only force her composure, it seems that she will always be confident and have a countermeasure, she stood up and walked to Xiuxiu's side, and said in a calm tone, "Don't worry, he is a man who will not take a step forward if he does not think about the perfect way out, he will not be defeated, let alone die in battle, he must be victorious and glory!" She was persuading Xiuxiu to convince herself.

There was a faint smile on Bao Xi's face, and there was a shallow brilliance in this smile, which filled people's hearts with suspicious hope, although I wanted to ask if this was really the case? But Xiuxiu still held back, could only purse her lips, nodded, and finally just told Bao Xi, "Tomorrow, Lord Shangqing will come again." ”

"I'm still going back, I'm gone!" Bao Xi turned around and said, without the slightest ripple in his tone.

On the second day, Uncle Zhao took according to his own words, and hurried towards the Qiongtai Hall in the morning, Xiuxiu blocked the door and didn't dare to look up at Uncle Zhao, a pair of eyes looked directly at the embroidered shoes under his feet, and said in a vague voice, "Niang Niang said, I don't see the adult." ”

"Still won't see you?" Uncle Zhao asked, almost unwilling to believe Xiuxiu's words, now that the Zhou Dynasty is facing life and death, and the Qin State is about to move to accelerate the process of decline, Ji Gongyan is fighting in front of him by a thread, and he may never return at any time. The answer given by Bao Xi was just gone?

"Niangniang said, she is just a woman, even if she sees it, there is nothing she can do." Xiuxiu replied perfunctorily.

"Good!" Uncle Zhao nodded, "What a woman," he angrily tried to turn around and walk towards the door, but he couldn't swallow this breath in his heart, so he turned around sharply and insisted on rushing towards the back of the main hall. Xiuxiu subconsciously blocked in front of Uncle Zhao, he reached out and pushed Xiuxiu to the side, Xiuxiu stumbled and fell backwards, fortunately, the two people quickly stabilized her, her eyes were still staring at Uncle Zhao, "Lord Shangqing, Niangniang said that she didn't see a guest!" I'm afraid it's not appropriate to do this, right? ”

"I still don't care if I see her? It's already 100,000 in a hurry! Uncle Zhao let out a loud shout, scaring these weak female streamers in the entire Qiongtai Palace.

Uncle Zhao pushed open the door of the dormitory and didn't see Bao Xi, and pushed open Nian'er's door, Nian'er heard the movement "wow" and cried in fright, and the nurse hurriedly rushed up to pick up Nian'er and coaxed in a low voice. He slammed the door again, continued to look for Bao Xi angrily, and finally pushed open the door of the back hall, and finally saw her sitting on top of the chair, holding white chess in one hand and black chess in the other, playing chess.

"Uncle came when he wanted to come to see me, why did he make such a big noise and frighten the people of my Qiongtai Palace!" Bao Xi said lightly, without even raising his head, staring at the chessboard in front of him in an attempt to spy on the Dongyi battle situation from the chess game, Uncle Zhao clenched his hands into fists, "If you see me, can I still make such a big fuss?" ”

"Look at what my uncle said!" Bao Xi landed the white child in his hand on the chessboard, "Bao Xi didn't follow what his uncle said, and didn't go out to meet guests?" When my uncle told me, he didn't say that he would count you as an exception, I should have treated everyone equally, but my uncle couldn't tell me clearly, and now it's not my fault that I am blaming it! ”

"It doesn't matter if you're angry with me, but what about the king?" Uncle Zhao simply ignored Bao Xi's remarks and asked.

"What can I do?" Bao Xi threw the chess pieces in his hand into the chess box, stood up and walked towards the door, closed the door, and turned to look at Uncle Zhao again, "All I can do is make the harem a group of harmony, Rao is like this, I can't change Mrs. Qin's decision, and I can't even dispel Empress Shen's suspicions about me." All I can do is watch Nian'er grow up, and I can't move the position of the prince of Yijiu, what does my uncle want me to do? Lead the thousands of soldiers he left for me, and simply go into battle to kill the enemy? Okay, when the Qin people come, I will wear armor, a battle robe, and a spear in my hand, and go into battle to kill the enemy! ”

"You're a woman, you have your way!" Uncle Zhao's hand clenched into a fist, gritted his teeth and said.

"Uncle, what do you have to say...... Let's just say it, right? Bao Xi looked at Uncle Zhao and asked, "If you don't want to go around the bend with me, you don't have to say it so obscurely!" ”

"I want the military strength of the Qin State, the details of this operation, and the military deployment map of the Qin State!" Uncle Zhao said, "As long as Qin Hou knows that we have insight into this, they will not dare to act rashly, and they will have to think about their own safety first, so that they can buy enough time for the king." ”

"Why would I do that?" Bao Xi looked at Uncle Zhao and asked.

"Because you are the woman of King Zhou!" Uncle Zhao shouted, "You are the mother of Prince Zhou!" ”

"If I had married into the Qin family, then I would have been the one who gave advice, contributed to the Qin family, and fought against the King of Zhou. At that time, I will be eager for all of you, the big and small officials of the court, and the army guards in the pickaxe capital, to surrender! How can I think about the king? It's just that life is impermanent, and I have a shallow relationship with Qin Shizi, and he died early. I was sent to a sedan chair and carried to the capital of Hao, and now I am standing on the opposite side of the Qin State. Sent me to Beijing that day, Ying De hoped that I would be able to echo with Mrs. Qin after entering the palace, and if I was favored, I would help Qin with Mrs. Qin in the open and dark; If I am not favored, I will become the woman in Mrs. Qin's room and make plans for her. It's a pity that Yingde's wishful thinking is so calculating, I can't count that I will be killed by the king, so I can protect Mrs. Zheng behind me, and the mechanism is exhausted, or a bad move! Bao Xi sighed as if she was hanging on everything in the past, a little sad.

"Are you saying this now to bring up the old things and the king's calculations one by one?" Uncle Zhao asked.

"The day the Qin Dynasty army swept in, we will all turn into dust, where else do we have the heart to calculate this?" Bao Xi chuckled lightly and said sneeringly, "The king has long understood the reason why Yingde sent me to Beijing, and now that I think about it, it's no wonder that I am the one who won that position!" How many times have I asked, but you just won't tell me the real reason, and you always say something that you don't have to prevaricate. If it weren't for today's scene, if I hadn't known that Yingde sent me, I probably wouldn't have been able to figure it out. It just so happens that he doesn't hate me, and it just so happens that he can use me! Can such a calculating king put himself in a difficult situation? Is this the monarch who has put himself on his back and then asked a woman to sacrifice herself to defend his integrity? ”

"Yes!" Uncle Zhao nodded, "Originally, I didn't need it!" But don't forget, when you were angry with him, he was angry with you! We have been planning this battle for many years, in order to win it in one fell swoop, but it was because of your doubts about him that he sent troops in advance, so now he has ended up in such a difficult state! If it takes time, drills the soldiers and horses of the DPRK and China, successfully separates the relationship between Baocheng and Qin, and then obtains the military strength of Qin, and pretends to communicate with the dogs, then ...... Do you think Yingde still dares to be so presumptuous now? Does he dare? Uncle Zhao's voice was very loud, almost roaring, startling Bao Xi.

Bao Xi looked at Uncle Zhao and didn't speak, she knew that he was telling the truth, that night he asked her to prove her ability, and she asked him to prove that he was worthy of his allegiance. Bao Hongde shook his head slightly, his brows were tightly locked, Uncle Zhao knew that his opportunity had come, "Bao Hongde may know more things than you and I imagined, and his mouth is stricter than you and I imagined, so starting from him, you will definitely get what you want!" ”

"What if he refuses to speak?" Bao Xi looked at Uncle Zhao and asked uncertainly.

"When is a man's willpower the weakest," Uncle Zhao nodded and patted her on the shoulder, "You should know it in your heart." ”

Bao Xi's pupils were constantly dilating, and she was surprised that Uncle Zhao would say such a thing, "Uncle also said, I am King Zhou's woman!" Her heart sank little by little, sinking into a desperate situation.

"If you don't say this, I won't say it, Bao Hongde won't be stupid enough to tell others by himself, he just doesn't care about himself, and he won't do anything to you. So, who else knows? Uncle Zhao looked at Bao Xi and said, "Now if we want to survive, there is only one way, as long as we know the military strength of the Qin State and the military plan we plan to make, we will have a chance of winning, otherwise...... Let's all die together in this city! He nodded his head.

Bao Xi was like someone who had taken off the strength of his whole body and sat on the seat weakly, Uncle Zhao threw down this sentence and no longer forced Bao Xi to give a conclusion today, he knew that some things could be pointed; He also believes that Bao Xi is a woman who understands the general situation, not to mention that Ji Gongyan is not in this palace now, these things will pass by the years, buried in dust, and will always be lost in time in the end.

And in exchange for this, what is the continuation of the Zhou Dynasty, Uncle Zhao believes that with Bao Xi's feelings for Ji Gongyan, she can sacrifice for the King of Zhou. So he already had a chance in mind, and he didn't need to wait any longer.

Bao Xi sat on the top of the chair for a long time, looking at the bluestone floor of the palace with a dazed look, and in her mind was the picture of the first time she saw Ji Gongyan that day, he was a high king, she was the daughter of a criminal minister who was humble in the dust, she stared at his shoes, stood up and danced for him, and then ...... They were entangled, and fate never separated them again.

"Mother?" Xiuxiu was worried that something would happen to Bao Xi, so she deliberately ran to the back hall to take a look, and whispered Bao Xi back who was wandering in her thoughts, and Bao Xi looked up at Xiuxiu fiercely, "Help me announce Bao Hongde." She spoke absent-mindedly, as if she didn't know what she was saying, and her eyes were empty.
