Chapter 290: The Loneliest Man

Zheng Boyou frowned and glanced at Zheng Qizhi, his whole face was a little dark, and he asked someone to come in and clean up the soup that had been spilled on the ground, and then asked Zheng Qizhi in a somewhat tense voice, "The king came to Zheng Guo just to marry Qi Ji and take Bofu back to the palace?" ”

"Or else?" Zheng Qizhi crossed his hands on the back of his head, and then leaned on the chair, he naturally knew in his heart that the king was only afraid of marrying Qi Ji on this trip, and there would be a war in northern Jin. At present, Jin Bo is retreating steadily, a city is almost lost, and all the soldiers and civilians of northern Jin retreat to the new city to resist Beidi with all their might.

"What do you think about the matter in Jinbei?" Zheng Boyou looked at Zheng Qizhi and asked, although he rarely interacted with the Jin Kingdom, but after all, his wife was from the Jin Kingdom, and it was impossible for him to know nothing about the Jin Kingdom.

"I don't know the strength of Jinbei," Zheng Qizhi said, "but if I am allowed to fight this battle," he said, touching the stubble on his chin, with a strange smile on the corner of his mouth, "tsk" twice, as if he was tasting the food in his mouth, and was about to speak, but Twenty-seven pushed the door in and took two new white porcelain bowls, "Why are you talking about the war again?" ”

"Let's talk about it!" Zheng Qizhi looked at Twenty-Seven and said with a smile.

"Where is there another war?" Twenty-seven looked at Zheng Boyou and asked, but Zheng Boyou didn't mention it, she set her eyes on Zheng Qizhi again, Zheng Qizhi lowered his head and touched his eyebrows, "Why don't you talk about brother and sister-in-law first?" I'll take my leave! After speaking, he turned over from the chair, took the soup spoon in Twenty-seven's hand, scooped a bowl of soup for himself and poured it into his mouth, and then smashed it, smashed his tongue and nodded, "Brother is really a blessing!" It's a pity......" He glanced at Twenty-Seven again and walked out of the room.

Twenty-seven glanced at the back of Zheng Qizhi leaving, then turned to Zheng Boyou to scoop the soup for her, put it on the table and asked, "Niangniang is here to pick up Nian'er?" ”

"Probably right?" Zheng Boyou nodded, he himself was actually confused.

"Come with the king, or do you come by yourself?" Twenty-seven asked, she was in the Zheng Mansion and didn't know much about what happened in the pickaxe capital, only that Zheng Boyou hurriedly rushed from Zheng Guo to the pickaxe capital this summer, that is, he spied on the misdeeds of the Qin army, and wanted to take Bao Xi out of the palace, but unfortunately Bao Xi's temperament was very difficult, and he refused to leave with him. How nervous he was about Bao Xi, Twenty-seven knew it in his heart, but Twenty-seven didn't know that Bao Xi and Zheng Boyou already had skin love.

"Together with the king, the king will marry Qi Ji here, and ask me to be a witness!" Zheng Boyou looked at Twenty-Seven and said, after speaking, he sighed, stood up and stood in front of Twenty-seven, he wanted to say something to Twenty-seven, stretched out his hand to hold her arm, but Twenty-seven took a step back, "Watching the man I love marry another woman, Niangniang's heart must be very uncomfortable." She shook her head and sighed.

"She forced the king to do this." Zheng Boyou said.

"Why?" Twenty-seven raised his head and looked at Zheng Boyou in confusion and asked.

"Now the princes Qi, Chu, Qin, and Jin, the four big countries, the ambition of the wolf son of Chu has to be guarded against, the catastrophe of Qin has just passed the decline of national strength, and the two kingdoms of Qi and Jin are remote and mutually restrictive. Originally, in the battle of Dongyi, Qi Bo's crime was unforgivable, but Qi State could not be too guilty, if Qi Bo died, Qi State would definitely regard the king as a feud, and if Qi Bo was to be pardoned, he had to find another way. Zheng Boyou analyzed, and Twenty-seven picked up the conversation, "So Niangniang wants the king to marry Qi Ji?" ”

Zheng Boyou nodded, and Twenty-seven shook her head vigorously as if she didn't believe that there was really such a generous woman in this world, and she had to nod at the end, "Yes, Niangniang's temperament has always been like this, and everything focuses on the overall situation." She pursed her lips, "Now that you have met your mother, you should also focus on the overall situation in everything." ”

"I don't know now, what is the big picture?" Zheng Boyou said helplessly, this trip Ji Gongyan will not just marry Qi Ji, there must be a war in the north of Jin, now that the war is chaotic, he can't send Chu to fight, so the strong general is only Zheng Qizhi, but the soldiers and horses in Zheng Qizhi's hands are in the hands of Wen Shuo, Wen Shuo has been his own person since he was a child, Ji Gongyan's arrangement is equivalent to handing over the soldiers and horses to Zheng Boyou, this move is to set the heart of praise, everyone can see it.

Now that such a long time has passed, I am afraid that Bao Xi's heart has been decided, otherwise she would not have traveled with the king to marry Qi Ji and take Nian'er back to the palace, she didn't even leave this life talisman to him, I was afraid that the overall situation would have to sacrifice him. Once the military power is handed over to Zheng Qizhi, I am afraid that this power will be given to him sooner or later!

Twenty-seven rarely saw Zheng Boyou look like a godless man, she wanted to comfort him for a word or two, so she opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say, so she had to close her mouth again, just looked at Zheng Boyou like that, "Master drank the soup first, right?" After a while, it was cold, and I had to go to the heat again. ”

Zheng Boyou picked up the bowl on the table and drank it all, put the bowl on the food box and handed it to Twenty-seven, "You go and do something else, I still have some things to deal with." ”

"Hmm!" Twenty-seven nodded and retreated from Zheng Boyou's room.

The current situation is a bit chaotic, no one can see the chaos, everyone can't guess what Ji Gongyan thinks, everyone has an abacus in their hearts, Zheng Boyou is thinking that if Ji Gongyan really wants to kill himself, and Zheng Qizhi is in this position, what will Bao Xi think, stand on Ji Gongyan's side unconditionally, or save his life as desperately as he did when he saved her?

Twenty-seven withdrew from Zheng Boyou's room and hurriedly went to Xiuxiu's house, Xiuxiu was teasing Nian'er, and Nian'er kept asking Xiuxiu, "When will my mother come to pick me up?" ”

"Soon, a few more days." Twenty-seven picked up Nian'er's words and replied, Nian'er glanced at Twenty-seven, he and Twenty-seven were not familiar with each other, and they couldn't talk about kissing, so they always felt that they were not as kind as Xiuxiu, so they leaned in the direction of Xiuxiu and asked, "How does my aunt know that my mother is coming back soon?" ”

"I heard from your uncle just now," said Twenty-Seven, "that in a few days the mother and the king will come to pick you up." ”

"Is it really coming?" Xiuxiu said in surprise, "It's not ......" She didn't finish speaking, she swallowed it raw, and originally blurted out that she wanted to say that the king ordered Nian'er to be a proton, but after thinking about it, she still couldn't tell Nian'er to listen to it, so as not to meet his father before he had a gap. Looking at the look that Xiuxiu gave him, Twenty-seven knew in his heart, "I probably miss my son too much, and I always want to let others take it at ease!" ”

"Yes," Xiuxiu responded, turned her face to look at Nian'er and asked, "Now you don't have to shout for me to take you back, right?" ”

Nian'er pouted again, "You read to me quickly, and when my mother comes, I will be able to memorize the Book of Changes, so that I can tell my mother!" ”

Xiuxiu rolled her eyes and showed a very dissatisfied look, shrugged her shoulders towards Twenty-seven, walked back to the desk and picked up the book to read to Nian'er, counting the days, Nian'er is already more than two years old, and she is also a child who can speak, run and jump, but she is not very old but has a lot of ideas, she looks like she was carved out of a mold with the king, but she has an extra ghost and clever appearance.

Looking at this master and servant, Twenty-Seven suddenly felt that his existence was a little redundant, so he withdrew from the room and looked like he was not giving up. There is no self in his husband's heart, and his former master does not need him for a long time, the world is big, and Twenty-seven actually found it so difficult to even find a place to stay, and he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.

There was a burst of music in the backyard of the Zheng Mansion, and the sharp voice was subdued but made people feel sad and cold, a kind of loneliness in the desert. The pitch is obviously very high, but this piece is extremely sad, Twenty-seven stopped, turned around and walked in the direction of the tune, she grew up with Bao Xi, and she knew everything about the rhythm, but what instrument was used in this piece really stumped her.

Twenty-seven walked into the woods in the backyard, looking left and right but no one was found, and a gust of wind passed by her, she suddenly turned around and was startled, and raised her head to see that it was Zheng Qizhi, "Little ...... Brother-in-law? When did you come? ”

"I've been here all along, and I saw you looking around down there, so I came down to see what you're looking for?" Zheng Qizhi pointed to the branch, where he was sitting just now, holding a golden leaf in his hand, flipping back and forth. Twenty-seven looked at Zheng Qizhi puzzled, and after hesitating for a while, he asked, "Did you see someone playing a tune just now?" ”

"This?" Zheng Qizhi raised the leaves in his hand and looked at Twenty-seven, smiled and put the leaves in his mouth, and let out a hiss, this is the song that has just been played, sharp and resounding in the sky, but sad and sad. Twenty-seven pointed to the leaves in Zheng Qizhi's hand, "How can the leaves also be played?" ”

"We marched and fought, but there was no leisure and leisure, and we went to the battlefield with silk and bamboo pipes, and every time we were homesick, we would take the leaves and blow a song in the countryside to comfort the homesickness. Don't say it's a leaf, even if you hold other things, you can blow sound! Zheng Qizhi smiled and handed the golden leaf in his hand to Twenty-seven, "Do you like it?" I've sent you. ”

Twenty-seven looked at the leaf in Zheng Qizhi's hand, but he didn't know whether to take it or not?

"Take it," Zheng Qizhi pulled Twenty-seven's hand up and put the golden leaf he had used in her hand, "You don't have anything to do in this big mansion, the eldest lady is in charge of family affairs, and it is not your turn to worry about political affairs as a woman." I want to play with Nian'er, but he doesn't kiss you; I want a child, you and your eldest brother have been ...... for a long time" He said that he didn't say anything here, but just gave Twenty-Seven a look, Twenty-seven suddenly blushed and couldn't say a word, but Zheng Qizhi smiled playfully, turned around and walked away.
