Chapter 712 Xiao Qi has a heart
The two of them directly found a vacant land, you punch me and I punch, as if it was not for everyone but to be beaten, there was no discipline at all, Zhou Duchan did not use any skills, he felt that he was a person who practiced martial arts, and if Ning Xuan really came according to the competition, it would be too ungentlemanly, but he didn't expect Ning Xuan to be a person who looked weak and weak, and he would be so ruthless.
Both of them suffered minor or serious external injuries, and in the end, the fist was completely powerless, and the hammer on the body was like an itch, and both of them had reached the limit of their physical strength.
Covered in mud and fell to the ground, the two of them were embarrassed, but after the fight, the two of them did not have the tension just now, Ning Xuan spoke first.
"Why did you change the law?"
"Sooner or later, it will change, or Daxia will die."
"I know, but why are you the first bird, don't you know that the gun is a big bird?"
"Whoever does it will do it, and I will do it the same."
"Then have you ever thought about Xiaoman, have you ever thought about what she will do if something happens to you?"
Zhou Duchan closed his eyes and his mind was full of Xiao Man's smile, "It was Xiao Man who encouraged me to do it, I was also hesitant at the beginning, it was Xiao Man who gave me courage, I know how dangerous this matter is." ”
"Hello ...... then."
Zhou Duchan suddenly opened his eyes and turned his head to look at Ning Xuan, "Xiao Man said that if I really had an accident, she would live well, and she said that he would keep me in his heart forever." ”
Ning Xuan felt a tingling in his heart, this girl he had liked since he was a child, was still taken first, but he was envious and jealous but helpless, he couldn't do that kind of thing to force her, although he had many opportunities before, but he knew that she only had the man in front of her in her heart.
What Zhou Duchan said Ning Xuan knew that this was what Xiao Man said, she was such a strange woman, she could make you love him to the bone, many people may not understand how Zhou Duchan, an excellent and perfect man, could have a soft spot for a civilian woman like Xiao Man, but Ning Xuan understood that Xiao Man had such magic, and she was also worthy of being pampered by the best man in the world.
It's a pity that I don't know the best man in the world, it's a pity that I didn't find her earlier, and it's a pity that I didn't have the courage to say it.
"I envy you...... Really, it's not because of your identity and your success, I only envy her...... The one you like is you. ”
Zhou Duchan sat up, looked at Ning Xuan, and suddenly stretched out his hand, his head tilted slightly and smiled, that smile contained too many things, proud, happy, relieved and sympathetic.
Ning Xuan stretched out his hand but did not hold Zhou Duchan's hand, but gave Zhou Duchan a hard slap.
The strength of this slap Ning Xuan was really not small, and Zhou Duchan felt that his palms were numb, "Hehe...... I didn't expect Lord Ning to be a child, ...... tempered. ”
This really poked Ning Xuan's pain, he hated being told that he had a child's temper the most, "Who do you say has a child's temper...... Come on, we're in a fight....... ”
"Childish ......."
The two of them chased one after the other and ran out of the yard, not paying attention to Ning Xuan's arrival at the threshold under his feet, he almost fell on the ground, stabilized his body and slowly crossed the threshold.
Zhou Duchan stood outside, facing Ning Xuan with his hands behind his back, but he couldn't see his expression clearly, and waited until Ning Xuan walked in.
"Thank you, I know that Xiaoman came to see me in prison because of your help."
"I don't need you to thank me, I'm not because of you, I didn't help you, I was helping Xiaoman ......."
"What an awkward child."
Without waiting for Ning Xuan to burst out, Zhou Duchan directly turned over and ran away, and Ning Xuan's voice came from behind: "Don't run, we are fighting if we have the ability." ”
Zhou Duchan just smiled and didn't pay attention to Ning Xuan, but the fight with Ning Xuan made Zhou Duchan like this Ning Xuan a little, his mind was simple and upright, and he was a person worth getting along with, if it wasn't for the fact that he also liked Xiaoman, Zhou Duchan felt that he would like this young man more.
If Ning Xuan knew that Zhou Duchan was about to jump to his feet again, Zhou Duchan was a little hesitant at the fork in the road, it was already late at night, and Xiao Man was estimated to have rested, if he went to see her now, it was estimated that she would not be able to rest well because of the quarrel again, so it was better to go home first There are some things that need to be confirmed by his father.
Make sure to adjust the horse's head in the direction of home.
When I arrived at Zhou's house on Saturday, I happened to meet Xiao Si and Xiao Qi, the two seemed to have come back from outside just now, and on Saturday I found that Zhou Duchan was not among them, and I was very unhappy, so I threw the food box directly to Xiao Si and didn't say anything.
Xiao Si was in a hurry to go back and report to Zhou Chaozong, and gave Xiao Qi the food box and asked him to put it in the young master's study.
When Zhou Duchan came back, the people in the concierge were dozing off, although the boss told him to watch the door carefully, saying that the young master would come back later, but the person on duty at night still accidentally fell asleep, but fortunately, the sound of horses' hooves woke up the light sleeper.
"Oh, young master, you're back, the master said to let you come back and go directly to the study to find him."
"yes, got it."
Zhou Duchan threw the horsewhip to his subordinates and went directly into the gate.
I haven't been home for a while, and Zhou Duchan is still a little excited when he walks on the familiar path.
The light in Zhou Chaozong's study was still on, and Zhou Duchan's heart felt warm, so he stepped forward quickly and knocked on the door gently.
Zhou Chaozong was meditating with his eyes closed, he had actually heard the footsteps outside, and a stone in his heart finally landed, "Come in......." The voice was still majestic.
As soon as he entered the door, his son, who had never been soft with him, let alone spoken well, actually knelt down for himself.
"The son's unfilial piety worries the father."
This sentence collapsed Zhou Chaozong's psychological defense, originally he wanted to reprimand his son with a straight face, but now he can't say anything, and now he is afraid that he will shed tears when he opens his mouth.
In fact, Zhou Chaozong really didn't know how to face his son sometimes, these two people were the kind of awkward people, he knew that his son had never forgiven himself in his heart, just because of the heartless things he had done before, he knew that he was at a loss, so all along, Zhou Duchan was unwilling to deal with him, although he felt uncomfortable, but he never got angry with his son.
Raising his eyes and seeing his son kneeling in front of him, Zhou Chaozong jumped up and walked in front of his son, "What's the matter with the injury on this face, could it be that they have tortured you......." ”
This is the first time that a father has expressed his concern so directly, Zhou Duchan was a little awkward, avoided Zhou Chaozong's hand, and pretended to be calm and said softly: "If I am really tortured, it is impossible for me to be injured so slightly." ”
"That's right, those people don't want to die if they don't die, so where did your injury come from."
Zhou Duchan coughed, a little uncomfortable, "This is, I was dark on the way back, and I accidentally fell off the horse......." ”
The two may be the first to talk calmly face-to-face, both of them are a little nervous, Zhou Duchan told a little lie without being careful, and Zhou Chaozong didn't think that his son, a person who would not fall off the horse when he sat on horseback and slept, could fall off the horse because it was dark.
Zhou Duchan got up and saw that his father's eyes were already red, and he hit him hard in his heart.
Zhou Chaozong didn't know that his son had seen it, so he quickly turned around and raised his hand to wipe his eyes.
Only then did I find that my father's back had begun to bend, his hair had turned gray, he must have lost a lot of weight recently, his clothes looked empty, he used to care too little about his father, and his mother too, his father's sleeves were even a little worn, and his mother didn't know what he was busy with lately, and he seemed to care very little about his father.
"Do you still want to change this law?"
Zhou Chaozong had already sat back in his original place, and his expression had returned to normal, but his tone of voice was very soft, unlike the previous-for-tat confrontation between the two.
Zhou Duchan looked away from his father's body, his eyes were firm, "Yes, I will definitely let the new regulations be implemented, and if the Great Xia Dynasty remains unchanged, it will decline in the future, and when the time comes, I will save it if I want to." ”
"Is the emperor and you agreeing, if the emperor doesn't support it, do you know what will happen to you?"
"Father, don't worry, today the emperor personally took me out of prison, the two of us have agreed, and I know how serious the consequences will be if I fail, so I must succeed this time, but I still underestimated the madness of those people at the beginning."
Zhou Chaozong looked at his son's young face, thinking that he was already the youngest general in the Great Xia Kingdom, and thinking of what he was doing now, he felt sincerely proud in his heart, because his son was proud.
"Well, since you have made a decision, the Father will support you, and I will support you no matter what decision you make."
Zhou Duchan looked at his father's sincere gaze and felt a little unbearable, but this thing must be done, for the sake of the overall situation and the future of the Zhou family.
"Father, I hope you will resign from your official position."
Zhou Chaozong didn't expect his son to say such a thing, and subconsciously widened his eyes, "Why ......?" ”
"Father's current position represents the ...... of Lao Chen's faction."
"You know I'm not, I'm in favor of changing the law, and besides, I'm ......."
"I know that my father is not in line, but my father thinks that those people don't see it that way, they will automatically put you in the row of old ministers, which side you should stand on against the change of the law, once the new law is going to be implemented, you will be in the middle, and everyone will turn their eyes to you, because you are my father, they all think that if you grab your handle, you can blackmail me, or change your mind to change me...... Soft doesn't work, hard doesn't work, I'm worried about the safety ...... you and your mother. ”
"Don't say it, I understand...... I will go to the table tomorrow to start the emperor, resign from my official position and go home to farm. ”
After being an official for a lifetime, Zhou Chaozong will definitely not feel comfortable in his heart, Zhou Duchan wanted to say something to comfort his father, but he .......
Zhou Chaozong waved his hand, "You go and rest...... ”
"Father, then I will retire, and my father will rest early......
Xiao Qi was idle, thinking that the young master must not have eaten well, so he took the food box in his hand to the kitchen, ready to let the mother-in-law in the kitchen heat it up, but he didn't know that when he opened the food box, he found that the food inside was still hot.
Seeing that Zhou Duchan was back, Xiao Qi almost jumped up with excitement, "Young Master...... You're finally back, and we're all worried about you....... ”
As soon as Zhou Duchan entered the room, he smelled the smell of food, he didn't have anything out of the banquet before, and now he was hungry.
Very consciously picked up the chopsticks and made it to the dinner table, "Xiao Qi has a heart, and he helps me prepare the meal so late." ”
Xiao Qi risked his head and smiled stupidly, "No, it's not my credit, this is the ...... sent on Friday." ”
