Chapter 207: The Rainstorm Arrives
Ning Ze did not leave with Ji Nan the next day as he wished.
Fang Jie forcibly left them behind because the grain and grass had not arrived, and Jinan scolded angrily, but there were more people in Fang Jie than Ning Ze brought, and they only obeyed the general's orders.
Because the military talisman is in the hands of Fang Jie.
Ning Ze asked the people around Guangchuan County to rush over for reinforcements, wanting to relieve the current crisis, but there is still no news at all.
It was already the second night after they had entered Gwangcheon County and retreated.
Ning Ze sat in the tent, motionless like a mountain, while Ji Nan was pacing in front of him, pacing back and forth, his head was full of sweat, the weather was already hot, and now he was even more impetuous, unable to sit still.
"Rest easy." Ning Ze's eyelids were raised, and when he saw Ji Nan walking around impatiently, he couldn't stand it.
"How can I not be in a hurry, Zhang Jie has put us under house arrest. Originally, you didn't say that I hadn't thought of this layer yet. Ji Nan stroked his forehead irritably, wiping the sweat of his hands. Why didn't I see him like that before? ”
When Ning Ze heard him say this, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile and said, "You don't have much intersection with him in the past, do you?"
"That's what I said, but I didn't always hear about him from other people's mouths before, and it wasn't that bad." As if thinking of something, Ji Nan suddenly stopped pacing, pressed his front half of his body directly against Ning Ze's table, stared at him with burning eyes and said, "Did you already know what kind of person he was, so you didn't let Qi Shu marry him, right?"
"I don't know, but I know a little bit." What Ning Ze said with a little understanding was really not simply a little understanding, he overturned the foundation of the square knot.
Knowing that Fang Jie and Ji Nan were working together to deal with the affairs of the flood victims, he guessed the possible outcome, so that he had already made some preparations when he was Shaoliang.
"It's still to blame that I didn't ask for your opinion." Ji Nan began to sigh again.
But Ning Ze didn't regurgitate what had happened, chewing and chewing couldn't change the current situation.
"Before I left, the crown princess came looking for me."
"Moran?" Ji Nan was a little surprised.
"Yes, she asked me to bring you back."
"Hmph, she doesn't have to worry about my affairs."
"You can't say that, she's your wife after all."
"If she really cared about my feelings, she wouldn't have driven you away, she's done a lot of things over the years, and I'm really disappointed in her."
"At least she is sincere to you, cherish it, and you can see that the crown princess really cares about you."
"You haven't started a family yourself, what qualifications do you have to say about me." Ji Nan didn't want to mention Mo Lan, so he changed the topic to Ning Ze.
Thinking of himself and Qi Shu, Ning Ze couldn't help but be in a trance again.
"It's been so many years, and I haven't made any progress at all, so I don't know what you're thinking?
You can't go to Qi Shangshu Mansion to propose marriage generously, women are like this, they say they are unwilling, and they must be willing in their hearts. ”
"Do you still know Qi Shu? If he didn't want to, he really didn't want to, otherwise he wouldn't have taken the risk of telling His Majesty that he couldn't. ”
"It's not that I said, sometimes she's just a little brainless, and she's usually fine.
Is it bad for a good woman to be a virtuous woman? Why are you always too ambitious and want to stretch your hand too far? Ji Nan felt that Qi Shu's ambition had always been not small, not to mention fame and fortune, but that she seemed to have been living as a defender, or more precisely, she seemed to want to do what only those men should do.
"How do you know she doesn't want to be an official? Standing on top of the court? Ning Ze asked with a smile.
"No, really?" As if he had been said to have hit the nail on the head, Ji Nan looked at him with wide eyes and incredulity.
Ning Ze tilted his head back in disgust, and pushed the official document that Ji Nan was pressing next to him and said.
"Well, I told her a lot about the court some time ago, and she showed obvious interest."
As if he didn't believe it, Ji Nan carefully considered it, then bit his lower lip and said in a relaxed and teasing tone: "Then isn't there a pair of you in the court of Wei State, and you are invincible in the world?"
Ji Nan didn't say it seriously, but Ning Ze was thinking very seriously: "If she wants to become an official in the court, I will do my best to help her."
"Isn't it, are you serious?". Ji Nan looked at him incredulously, in Ji Nan's heart, except for his mother who is the chosen son, no woman in this world can take on the things that only men can do, Ning Ze is definitely joking.
Although the mother emperor clearly said at that time that she would give women the opportunity to display their ambitions and talents, this is the case, and the women of Wei are still very conservative and closed.
"It's a little inappropriate for you to let a boudoir woman participate in court politics, right?" Ji Nan thought that Ning Ze meant that Ning Ze planned to help Qi Shu enter the court, the center of power in Wei.
"Don't you know whether Qi Shu is qualified to participate in court politics?" Ning Ze asked rhetorically.
A little embarrassment flashed on Ji Nan's face, it is true that in the past of childhood and even adulthood, between the three of them, Ning Ze is the first, Qi Shu is the second, and he is the third, but this does not mean that Qi Shu can make a difference in political affairs?
"Do you know why Fang Jie was able to defeat the Dian Kingdom in the first place?" Ning Ze suddenly pulled Fang Jie's body again, which made Ji Nan, who was looking at him, stunned again.
"Why is it delaying for five years?" Ning Ze asked again.
Ji Nan still doesn't know why.
"No one is giving advice behind his back, do you think that such a person with mediocre qualifications and greed for life and fear of death is worthy of being a general?"
"No, it won't! Are you saying that Qi Shu is planning behind this? As if he had heard something incredibly shocking, Ji Nan's eyes were about to pop out.
"Eighty percent to say the least." Ning Ze didn't say that all the letters written by Qi Shu to Fang Jie passed through his hands, and he copied them before letting people send them to Fang Jie.
At first, it was out of his own selfishness, but when he carefully tasted what Qi Shu wrote, he found that she was extremely familiar with the military book, and carefully analyzed the news from Fang Jie's feedback.
It is said that the military aircraft on the battlefield are changing rapidly, but most of Qi Shu's strategies for Fang Jie are to respond to changes with the same.
In fact, Fang Jie learned the art of war, but he also learned half-baked, and many generals were illiterate, and the existence of military divisions played an extremely important role in the army.
Therefore, Qi Shu was Fang Jie's private military to some extent, which made Ning Ze jealous for a long time.
Therefore, Fang Jie will procrastinate and hesitate to take no action because he has no opinion and does not know how to deal with it.
Then why did he take the initiative to enter the city with the army later? He also showed a very powerful and confident appearance. ”
"I guess you should have heard me coming." Apart from this possibility, Ning Ze couldn't think of anything else for the time being.
"My God, I didn't expect Qi Shu to be such a baby! Hurry up and take her down! You and your wife are a match made in heaven, they are both calculating, so don't harm people. ”
The word "couple" successfully pleased Ning Ze, making the corners of his mouth rise slightly, but slowly dimmed again.
"She knows that I reported Fang Jie's name."
"Impossible! It's been so long, how could she possibly know?! Fang Jie didn't even know it himself! ”
Regarding the fact that Ning Ze added the name of Fang Jie, Ji Nan only found out later, and Ning Ze vomited it out after drinking.
"I don't know. You don't care about this matter, anyway, now Qi Shu knows. Zhao Huanting retracted the three words to her lips, there are some things that Ji Nan is not suitable to know too much, if he knows, it will bring a lot of trouble. ,
"Why don't you explain to her?"
"There's nothing to say, if it weren't for the fact that I put his name on it, they would have been married." There is no solution to this matter, only to wait for Qi Shu to be willing to forgive him when he is.
"Hey!" Ji Nan didn't know what to say, so he just patted him on the shoulder soothingly.
The two of them chatted a little more, but Ning Ze was still very willing to talk to Ji Nan about Qi Shu, and some trivial things were like a hay stick coated with honey.
When Ji Nan felt interested, but Ning Ze was about to start handling official business again, Ji Nan chose to take the initiative to withdraw and not disturb Ning Ze.
After he left, Ning Ze, who was still calm on his face, put down the pen in his hand, put it on the table, looked at the direction of the tent exit, and frowned.
Fang Jie was going to make a move on him and Ji Nan, and it was just a matter of the past two days.
The current situation is that it is very likely that Fang Jie will rush in with the soldiers in the next moment, and then strangle him and Ji Nan.
He brought less than a hundred people. If Fang Jie chooses to extinguish their mouths first, and then deal with the two of them, it is not impossible, it depends on which order he chooses.
Although it had been deployed, Ning Ze was still a little uneasy, but he didn't know where this uneasiness came from.
If he can get through this difficult time safely, he still wants to talk to Qi Shu and tell him what he wants.
He really didn't mean to calculate her, if he used some means to get him, he was really forced to do so......
Rainstorms are coming
The sky above Shaoliang City was extremely gray, and large clouds rose from the west, and then slowly spread in other directions.
There is a feeling that the black clouds are overwhelming the city.
The wind suddenly rose, and many fallen leaves began to swirl on the ground, whirling and rushing in the direction of the wind.
The slightest coolness poured into everyone's body, dry, stuffy, and scorching, all blown away by the strong wind.
Families also ran out of their houses, and it was already very dark inside, and the money for burning oil by candles and burning oil was not spent.
Everyone is waiting for the torrential rain to pour down to relieve the scorching heat of the past few days, and the thirsty people of the thirsty earth should also be nourished by the rain at the right time.
The raindrops of beans began to crackle and fall, and the sky in the south began to see the shining electric light, and the sound of booming and rumbling also came, it was Lei Gong casting a hammer.
Children ran around in the rain cheering. The small cloth shirts were drenched, and the adults wiped the rain from their faces and smiled with joy.
What a timely rain!
