Mobile phone synchronous reading, please visit

Judging from Uncle Zhao's understanding of Bao Xi's every move in the recent period, she no longer cares about the affairs of the court and the harem, so it is impossible to want to know the movements of Dazai Palace.

Uncle Zhao didn't receive the king's letter these days, he already felt very strange, he sent someone to investigate but still didn't get the news back, and now Dongyi has only a small detachment left, it is said that there should not be a mistake at this time, but the news was cut off again in this way.

Because he was busy with this matter, Uncle Zhao didn't go to Qiongtai Hall to see Bao Xi's mother and son, and now he heard Xiuxiu find someone to pass on the word, and there seemed to be something in it. It is impossible for Bao Xi to be sick, and she did not refuse the medical officer's fault, and she used this excuse several times to block it, all to cover up something, what is it for this time?

Thinking of these Uncle Zhao couldn't sit still anymore, he stood up and said hello to the big and small officials in his palace and walked straight in the direction of the Qiongtai Palace, the Qiongtai Hall was still as quiet as before, Bao Xi heard the main door being pushed open with a "squeak", the whole person was shocked, sat up straight and stared at the door, and saw that Uncle Zhao finally came and immediately stood up and walked down from the top of the hall.

"!" Uncle Zhao saluted Bao Xi as a greeting.

"Uncle, come with me to the back hall." Bao Xi said very briefly, standing on the ground of the main hall and walking towards the back hall.

Uncle Zhao took him in and closed the door, "Niangniang is in a hurry to call me, but what happened?" ”

"I should ask you, what happened when my uncle didn't come for many days?" Bao Xi stared at Uncle Zhao and asked, Uncle Zhao pursed his lips and didn't speak, and squeezed out a smile with great difficulty on his face, "Niangniang must have just thought too much, what can happen recently?" ”

"In the past, as soon as there was news from the king, you would definitely be the first to go to the Qiongtai Hall to relay the king's news to me, and now it has been half a month since I came, and the king said that he would always come back when he paid tribute this year, but now that the midsummer has passed, there is no news, why?" Bao Xi looked at Uncle Zhao and asked, speaking quickly and with a compelling attitude.

Uncle Zhao looked at Bao Xi for a while and asked, "What does Niangniang already know?" ”

"I don't know, please tell Uncle Bao first!" Bao Xi said, her eyes very uneasy.

"The communication with the king was completely cut off more than a month ago, and so far no reason has been found," Uncle Zhao said, sighing, "But I think it should be just that the communication was intercepted, after all, the king is about to return to the dynasty after victory, don't think about it, he will be fine." ”

"Did you send someone to investigate?" Bao Xi asked.

"It's sent, these geniuses have sent it out, and there is no news yet, I'm afraid I have to wait a little longer, don't worry! Is this what you called me here for? Uncle Zhao asked, although he was also very uneasy, but he still had to comfort Bao Xi for a word or two, Bao Xi shook his head, looking extremely uneasy, pulled Uncle Zhao's arm and shook his head, "The king may have an accident!" ”

"What?" Uncle Zhao asked puzzled, "How do you know the whereabouts of the king?" ”

"I've been in a state of panic for the past few days," Bao Xi looked at Uncle Zhao and lied casually, she couldn't expose Father Yu Shi at this time, for Ji Gongyan, maybe in this life, Father Yu and Uncle Zhao would have to be his two hands for each other, only the ministers kept fighting, and the monarch could feel at ease, "I also dreamed of the battlefield, and I dreamed that the king was gone, and disappeared in the barracks." I'm just afraid ......" Her anxious tears were about to fall, Uncle Zhao patted Bao Xi's shoulder, "It's just a dream......"

"That's not the case," Bao Xi shook her head, "Every time I dreamed of the king in the past, it must have happened for a reason, and this time will not be an exception." ”

"Do you often dream of kings?" Uncle Zhao was a little surprised, he recalled at this moment that every decision Bao Xi had made before, more or less had the taste of a king, if it weren't for the fact that she maintained some kind of secret correspondence and contact with Ji Gongyan, it was that the two of them had a good heart to the point where they didn't need letters, if that was the case...... So it's not surprising that Bao Xi sensed it as soon as she had Ji Gongyan's accident.

Bao Xi nodded, "Every time I feel like I'm cornered, I always dream that he appears and tells me what to do next." ”

"What about this time? What did you dream about? Uncle Zhao asked.

Bao Xi didn't know how to answer Uncle Zhao's question, so she had to transform her dream, "I dreamed that the king and his party were out of the team, not with the army of Qi State, only a few people, trapped in a place where they didn't know their names. ”

"Why are you trapped?" Uncle Zhao asked.

Bao Xi glanced at Uncle Zhao with a flickering expression, why was he trapped? It is likely to be because of the assassination of the Qin State, but if he answers truthfully, then Uncle Zhao will definitely ask again, how did Bao Xi know about the assassination of the Qin State? Uncle Zhao may not suspect Father Yushi, but he is likely to suspect Bao Hongde, if he treats Bao Hongde as a good person again, the consequences will ...... She shook her head, not wanting to continue thinking about it, "I don't know what the reason is, but it's definitely not a war, he is trapped in a place where there are no people." ”

"Where there are no people......" Uncle Zhao repeated the words, "I will send someone to explore again, and set off from the capital city of Ho to the country of Qi to find the king, no matter whether there is news or not, I will definitely send it back as soon as possible!" ”

Bao Xi nodded, and had no choice but to do so for now, "This matter must be hidden." ”

Uncle Zhao tried to stabilize Bao Xi's emotions, "Don't worry, losing contact on the battlefield is not an uncommon thing, the king has his own king's clever plan, he will definitely be able to get out of the way!" ”

Bao Xi nodded, didn't reply, watched Uncle Zhao turn around and prepare to leave the Qiongtai Palace, and suddenly asked, "Uncle!" ”

Uncle Zhao turned his head to look at Bao Xi, "Huh? ”

"You say...... Will the king get tired of life here, take this opportunity to leave the capital of pickaxe, leave his throne, and leave ......" The last few words of Bao Xi couldn't bear to say, but the picture she dreamed of seemed to confirm this fact.

Uncle Zhao heard Bao Xi say this, but laughed, "You! He pointed to Bao Xi's cheek, "I once advised the king that he should never tell you his feelings for you, but after all, he was honest with you because he was drunk. He has a sincere heart in you, and he went out to meet the battle by himself, and only brought 2,000 soldiers and horses, but left 3,000 for you, so what are you worried about? He just doesn't want the whole world, and he won't leave you alone! ”

"Really?" Bao Xi couldn't laugh at all because of Uncle Zhao's relief, now Ji Gongyan has been out for more than a year, and if it is autumn after this summer, it will be two years. After two years of battlefield battles, with his character, there may not be a shortage of women around him, and in the days of licking blood on the tip of the knife, I am afraid that any woman with a warm fragrance of nephrite can ask for his true heart, and soon he will forget her, maybe soon he will get tired of such a turbulent life, and join hands with that woman to hide the rivers and lakes, and ignore her.

"Don't think about it!" Uncle Zhao turned his head and looked at Bao Xi and said with relief.

Bao Xi had no choice but to nod and wait for the people sent out by Uncle Zhao to send a message back, but he didn't return for several months, and Ji Gongyan's news still hadn't been received. Although the news sent to the battlefield did not come back, the envoy sent to the Qi State brought Xin'er back with a message to Uncle Zhao, "Qi Bo said that now the king is fighting with Dongyi, because he drove the Dongyi army back for hundreds of miles, so he has long left the border of the Qi country, and the army brought by the king is the army of Chu, Qi, Zheng and Zhou, and he has not received any news about the rout or victory of the army along the way!" ”

"He's not going to probe!" Uncle Zhao roared angrily and pushed all the bamboo slips on the table to the ground.

"Qi Bo said that the king has won the war one after another, if God blesses, he is only willing to wait for the king to return victorious, and has never suspected that the king is not able to catch it, so why should he send someone to investigate?" The envoy who saw him off replied, and Uncle Zhao sneered, "I have never doubted that I am not enough, but I am afraid that if he wants to murder the king, he is going to dissociate himself from himself!" ”

As soon as Uncle Zhao brought these words, the envoy who came to report the news was taken aback, "What does Lord Shangqing mean...... The king was killed? ”

"No, I'm just voicing Ziber's concerns, how are our people doing?" Uncle Zhao asked, now it seems that the Qi State cannot be counted on, and the Jin Kingdom, the Yan Kingdom, the Lu Kingdom, and the Wei Kingdom, which are adjacent to Qi...... Uncle Zhao didn't dare to send someone to investigate, for fear that this matter would be a big move, and the news that the king might be killed, such as today's turmoil, the only way to hide it again and again, the better.

"We entered the place where Dongyi and Qi were at war, but we never got any news from the king!" The envoy replied.

"When did the king lose contact?" Uncle Zhao asked.

Qi Bo said that when the king was leaving, he declared that this battle was the last battle, and he wanted to annihilate the entire Dongyi power in one fell swoop, and Dongyi's territory would belong to the Great Zhou royal family. The day he set out was three months ago, and now no news has come back, and the men we sent out have been searching this area, and they have not found any large troops fighting in this area! The envoy replied.

Uncle Zhao sorted out the meaning of these words, looked at the envoy and asked, "You mean the king...... Evaporated out of thin air? ”

"That's not what I mean," the envoy took a step back in a panic and explained to Uncle Zhao, "It's just a report based on the truth, and now there is no more news of the king!" ”

"What about Zheng Qizhi?" Uncle Zhao asked loudly.

The envoy shook his head and repeated again, "There are no of our soldiers and horses on the battlefield of battle...... Message. ”
