Zixi went out, walked to the palace gate not far away, and saw Xiong Zhang, who had been waiting in the palace. Xiong Chao saw Zixi and took a step forward. Leaned over and saluted: "Lord Ling Yin." ”

Zixi returned the salute: "What's the matter with the eldest prince?" ”

Xiong Zhang stood up straight and looked at Zixi and tilted his head: "Did the adults go to Nancheng?" ”

Zixi looked at Xiong Zhang and looked at him. How can you get the message so quickly?

He nodded and said, "Yes." Is there anything the prince wants to ask? ”

Xiong Zhang said: "My lord, but for General Bingda? ”

Zixi said: "Yes. ”

"Could you tell me what it is?" Xiong Zhang looked at Zixi with a solemn expression.

Zixi looked at his face, and after a moment, Cai Si opened his mouth.

"Half of General Bing's entourage was killed."

Xiong Zhang's face changed, and then he quickly regained his expression. looked at Zixi and said, "Who did it?" ”

Zixi waved his hand at the person next to him. The retinue behind him stepped back. Xiong Zhang also asked Yu Gongyang and the others to retreat.

Look at the flowers around you, and there is no one else around. Zixi raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and said slowly: "It's about Qi Proton." ”

Approximately, that is, there has not been an interrogation yet.

Xiong Zhang's eyes were dark and waves, and his color was full of violent.

When Zixi put down the hand that was rubbing his eyebrows and looked at Xiong Zhang, Xiong Zhang had already recovered his expression. Zixi grew up watching Xiong Zhang, he didn't speak, but Zixi felt his emotions.

Zixi frowned and whispered, "Zhang'er, this matter is not trivial, don't act rashly." ”

Xiong Zhang nodded obediently without thinking about it: "Naturally, I won't act rashly." As he spoke, he clenched his fist with the hand at his side.

In the eyes of others, Ban'er is just a character like Bingwen's entourage. The weight of half a child in Bingwen's heart. Only he, who used to be opposite to Bingwen Chaodu, understands.

Xiong Zhang let go of his clenched fist.

He will help Bingwen solve her trouble before she returns.

Zixi listened to Xiong Zhang's response in his ears, but the whole person tensed. stepped forward and looked at Xiong Zhang, and said, "Zhang'er, let me say it again, you can't act rashly." ”

"Yes." Xiong Zhang's answer was very neat. After answering, he saluted Zixi, turned around and was about to leave.

Zixi frowned, reached out and grabbed Xiong Zhang's clothes. hurriedly opened his mouth to stop Xiong Zhang: "Qi's internal affairs are chaotic, although Lu Di is a prince, but Lu Yangsheng has caught up with the general Tian Qi and Qi doctor Bao Mu in China. These two people have huge power in the Qi country, if they help each other, Lu Yangsheng will not be able to take the throne. ”

Xiong Zhang's footsteps stopped and looked at the rippling lotus pond in the distance. Listen to Ling Yin's voice behind him.

"Chu Guo has been taking care of Lu Yangsheng for many years, and he has also crossed the bridge between him and Tian Qi. Once Lu Yangsheng seizes the throne, he will definitely have his heart set on the Chu State. For example, today only the four countries are powerful. Qi, Qin, Chu, and Jinzhong, Qin lived in the southwest and did not have much impact on the Central Plains. There are three remaining kingdoms, and the three families of Han, Zhao, and Wei in the Jin Kingdom are ready to move, and the Jin clan is only withered, and the wind and rain are drifting. Lu Yangsheng's ability is not as good as Lu Di, if he can ascend the throne, Qi Guo can only go downhill. ”

Zixi said too much in one breath and gasped a little. He stopped his voice and took a few breaths, and saw that Xiong Zhang was already listening to himself carefully, so he stabilized his voice and eased his voice a little: "Your father's all this is just to pave the way for you." Of the four major powers of Qi, Qin, Chu, and Jin, one was far away in the southwest, and the two countries in the Central Plains declined. Now the time is right, only the state of Chu is stable and accumulated.

Your father is very old. can only help you stabilize the situation in the world.

There is an opportunity to make Chu the largest country in the world, look down on the heroes, and dominate the Central Plains. ”

Zixi said with emotion: "Zhang'er, this is what the ancestors of the Chu royal family want to do in their dreams!"

But no one ever did.

Now that you, Xiong Zhang finally have the opportunity to do it, do you want to destroy it yourself? ”

Which prince and leader of a royal family does not have a dream of dominating the world?

What's more, he is a person like him who has been taught by the prince's thoughts since he was a child.

Settle the world and be ambitious.

Xiong Zhang looked at the colorful light of the sunset sprinkled on the lotus pond in the distance, and the lotus pond was flooded with various colored broken stars. He closed his eyes and took a breath, and when he opened them again, the anger in his eyes was gone. There is only a pool of stagnant calm left.

Xiong Zhang turned around, took out his coat from Zixi's hand, saluted respectfully, and said, "It's Zhang Lu who is blunt." ”

Zixi looked at Xiong Zhang's appearance, breathed a sigh of relief, and sighed: "When you are young, you will inevitably be frivolous, and it will be fine. As long as you understand, Lu Yangsheng not only can't move now, but we have to help him when necessary.

If one day in the future, the state of Chu will borrow the power of the state of Qi. And let them be willing. When you step on someone to go up, he can go down under pressure.

However, Lu Yangsheng was stupid, probably not feeling whether Qi Guo was going up or down. He only cares about the prince and the throne of the Duke of Qi. ”

Xiong Zhang gritted his teeth, and only after a few breaths did he respond: "Zhang understands." ”

Zixi looked at Xiong Zhang's appearance and nodded with satisfaction: "It's good to understand, then I'll go back first." If you have any doubts, come and ask your father or me. ”

"No." Xiong Zhang bowed down and responded.

Zixi took a deep look at Xiong Zhang and nodded with satisfaction again. Zhang Er was personally taught by him since he was a child, and he was very pleased to grow into such a person who knows right from wrong, has excellent ability and has great ambitions.

The hegemony of the state of Chu is just around the corner.

Zixi touched Xiong Zhang's lowered head lovingly, with a smile on his face.

After a moment, he turned and left.

…………

As soon as Shi Yiguang went to the country, it took almost half a year in the world. When I returned, it was already winter.

She drove the carriage past the alley, and her eyes touched the door of Aoyagi's house in the alley. The door was closed, and it was snowing heavily in front of the house. No one sweeps, and there are no traces. Desolate and lonely.

The carriage "pedaled" by.

Shi Yiguang sighed and drove the carriage to his door. When his eyes touched his own courtyard, he paused for a sigh that had not yet ended.

Her yard looks even lonelier than the Aoyagi family.

She jumped off the wheel and shook the scumbag off her shoulder. He stepped forward and pushed the closed fence door, on which the snow had been piling up for an unknown amount of time was falling. She frowned as she looked at the snow that had fallen on the ground. Turning his head to look at his closed door, he shouted, "Half! ”

The courtyard was silent.

In Shi Yiguang's opinion, he should have been suddenly pushed open and rushed out, and the door of the house was tightly closed.

She felt strange in her heart, and she stopped screaming.

Taking a step back and raising your foot against the fence gate is a jerk.

The fence gate was kicked open, and the snow fell from the attached fence.

Shi Yiguang pulled the carriage into the yard, and went straight to the house without unloading the cart and tying the horse.
