Little Peach fell asleep quickly in bed. [.] The bright peach blossoms in Yunwan Village in the dream, the shallow stream at the head of Qilixi Ferry, and the two sons who came in the distance were all so clear for the first time in Xiao Tao's dream. Qi Gongzi stretched out his hand and dragged her from the "first line of heaven", Qi Gongzi's silver. The sachet and jade peach sent by Qi Gongzi, Qi Gongzi's temper in the water, the two dowry gifts under Qi Gongzi, Qi Gongzi couldn't see it, and Qi Gongzi died in battle-

The white-clothed Qi Gongzi, with picturesque eyebrows, gentle and elegant, was getting closer and closer in Xiao Tao's mind, until the warm breath seemed to linger around him. Little Peach reached out and grabbed it. But as soon as the hand was stretched out. It becomes nothingness, and it can't catch anything. Xiao Tao was anxious and couldn't help shouting: "Master Qi!" ”

Zhao Kuangyi saw that Xiao Tao came back and lay motionless on the bed and shouted tired, reached out and touched her forehead, and it was not hot, and wanted to ask her if she had eaten, but seeing that she was asleep with her brows tightly locked, he still couldn't bear it. I soaked the leftovers from the last meal in hot water and left some for Xiao Tao, so I sat at the table and read the book.

Zhao Kuangyi was holding the book in his hand, but his heart was a little uneasy. It's quiet outside. The silence made him a little flustered, and the eyes that were faintly peeping these days were not very close, which showed that the comer was not good. Do you want to hide, and where to hide? Zhao Kuangyi began to think about all kinds of possible situations, and thought of corresponding methods one by one. Thinking about it. Xiao Tao on the cold bed muttered and whispered "Qi Gongzi", shouted three or four times in a row, and fell asleep with a frown.

Zhao Kuangyi's heart jumped with the "Qi Gongzi" in that life. Ever since the moment he saw Qi Zhengxiu outside Wanchun Hall, his heart could no longer be steady. Qi Zhengxiu is not dead, he doesn't know how long he can be Qi Zhengxiu. Zhao Kuangyi walked over and pulled the quilt that Xiao Tao lifted up and covered her tightly, turned around and sat back at the table, his brows furrowed.

Xiao Tao didn't know how long she had been dreaming of Qi Gongzi, but she felt that she had been trying hard to get close to Qi Gongzi all night, but she was always close at hand and couldn't touch it. Until the morning sun hit her face. Xiao Tao opened her eyes a little reluctantly. Waking up, it seems, is a heavy thing. When I woke up, all the illusions disappeared, and a heavy reality followed.

The reality is that Qi Gongzi does have another person, and he is still alive! Xiao Tao didn't suspect that Zhao Kuangyi was not Qi Zhengxiu, and even for some moments, she could clearly detect that Zhao Kuangyi's face was not Qi Gongzi's narrow eyes. But she couldn't say why, and she still refused to convince herself that the person next to her was not Qi Gongzi.

First, if she is sure that the person around her is not Qi Gongzi, she will accept the news that Qi Gongzi died in battle in the dream, she is unwilling, no matter what; Second, the people around him have done so many things for themselves, and they even do not hesitate to exchange their lives for her life, if he is not the son of Qi, who else will be so good to him? And if he is not the son of Qi, how can he repay this affection?

So Xiao Tao is running away, she keeps convincing herself that this is Qi Gongzi, who can spend the rest of her life together, and can rely on each other for life and death. But self-deception was torn apart by blood, and Qi Gongzi was someone else, and he was still alive! Xiao Tao couldn't help but be happy, after all, she was sure that Qi Gongzi was still alive, which was better than anything else. But the ensuing entanglement also overwhelmed her.

Xiao Tao was absent-minded all day, thinking about her heart in a daze. Zhao Kuangyi went to Dai's house early in the morning and came back in the afternoon, but saw that Xiao Tao was still sitting at the table in a daze, and couldn't help asking, "What do you think?" ”

Xiao Tao was excited, and then smiled a little unnaturally: "I was stunned when I saw the finches fighting in the trees just now." As he spoke, he walked towards the kitchen, "I'll serve the rice." ”

After a while, the food came up, Zhao Kuangyi sat down, chatted with Xiao Tao for a few words, and sandwiched a chopstick, but it was so salty that he almost vomited it, swallowed it forcibly, raised his eyes to look at Xiao Tao who was in a daze again, couldn't help but try his best to suppress the question in his heart, and asked lightly: "What's wrong?" ”

Xiao Tao didn't say anything, asked again, and then hurriedly said, "No, it's nothing." ”

Zhao Kuangyi's brows tightened, such a distraction made his heart ache a little, and after a while, he asked again: "You didn't meet any people or things when you went to Xiangao Town yesterday?" ”

Xiao Tao hurriedly said as if defending: "No, I haven't touched anything." After speaking, he hurriedly pulled the meal. Zhao Kuangyi paused, but still didn't say anything.

Zhao Kuangyin received an urgent report from Zhao Pu and knew that Zhao Kuangyi was in Yunwan Village. A big stone in his heart finally stopped, and Zhao Kuangyin slammed the table excitedly, what are you waiting for? Immediately dressed up and personally brought a dozen people over.

Zhao Kuangyin took advantage of the night to enter the territory of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and Zhao Pu had told Zhao Kuangyin in the letter that he must bring fewer people, which alarmed Zhao Kuangyi and informed him in detail of his address. Zhao Kuangyin followed the direction and inquired and found Zhao Pu's residence. As soon as he entered the door, he couldn't hide the excitement on his face: "Great, this time I finally found this kid." Hurry up and bring them back! ”

Zhao Pu shook his head lightly: "My lord, by all means." ”

"Why?" Zhao Kuangyin was puzzled.

"You think, you chased them twice before, and both times you ran away. If you just go over like this this time, what's the difference from the previous two times? The result is different, is it also that they want to escape? Zhao Pu said slowly, "Moreover, you have to think about the thoughts of the young general, why did they escape?" One is to seek medical advice, and the other is that there is Miss Fu in the Young General's Mansion, which must not be able to accommodate the Southern Tang woman, and Miss Fu has the hard backer of King Wei behind her, and the young general can't be provoked or touched, so he can only take the Southern Tang woman to hide in this small village to live. If these problems are not solved and are still there, then the major general is still reluctant to go back. Even if the adults forcibly arrest them back, how can they let the young general serve the great cause? ”

Zhao Kuangyin nodded, Zhao Pu was right, he also understood this, but he was anxious to bring Zhao Kuangyi back every time, and he didn't think it was a problem for Zhao Pu to say this problem. It's just a woman, and it's not a military power, what's there to do such a big move. But now listening to Zhao Pu's careful analysis, it makes sense. And this time is different from before, it was a brotherhood to catch Zhao Kuangyi back before, and I couldn't bear to watch him go farther and farther on the crooked road, and let go of his good future but indulged in the gentle township, it was really the number one in the world. But now, he must ask Zhao Kuangyi to go back, this is forced by the form, only Zhao Kuangyi has the ability and prestige to help him lead the army, and more importantly, only Zhao Kuangyi is the only person he can trust. This is a big gamble, and Zhao Kuangyi must be willing to help him complete this great cause.

Zhao Kuangyin asked, "Then in your opinion, what should I do?" ”

Zhao Pu took a sip of tea and said, "I've been pondering these days, and I've also sent people to observe in the dark for a long time. The major general and that Ye Xiaotao have a deep affection, and it is absolutely impossible to break them apart. But if they are persuaded bitterly, their current life is dull and comfortable, and they may not be willing to give up this peaceful and happy life for the great cause of adults. After a pause, he said, "I have also secretly observed that Ye Xiaotao, and now that my eyebrows are clear, my madness should be almost better." Then seeing a doctor is no longer a reason. The young general has a deep affection for Ye Xiaotao, if he takes Ye Xiaotao back first, the young general will naturally follow him back to Kaifeng. When we get to Kaifeng, and then think about it in the long run, we will have more time and more chips. ”

"Let that woman go to Kaifeng?" Zhao Kuangyin's brows furrowed, "No, no, no, King Wei is already watching from the wall now, and Fu Xuechan's matter is messed up." Originally, the marriage with King Wei was one more ally, but now it's better to become an enemy. If you openly bring that woman back, wouldn't you admit her identity, and Fu Xuechan would be happy? King Wei was even more unhappy, just waiting to tear his face. ”

Zhao Pu shook his head and said, "I also sent someone to inquire about the details of that woman." She was originally the maid of the He Mansion, and she was once hired with the eldest lady of the He family to be the prince's attendant Qi Zhengxiu as a concubine. But later, the He family was convicted, and the matter was over. This woman has been an official prostitute in Tang for more than a year, and once served Qian Hongyi of Wu Yue. ”

Before Zhao Pu's words were finished, Zhao Kuangyin's face was already full of blue and black, he didn't know it in such detail, and now he only felt ashamed and indignant. This Kuang Yi, what is growing in his head: "How can such a woman enter the door of the Zhao family, isn't it a great shame?" Don't say that Fu Xuechan disagrees, even if she agrees, I can't agree either, the face of the ancestors of the Zhao family is lost. "Craftsman's skill.

Zhao Pu's voice was faint: "Don't be impatient, adult." The subordinates inquired about these things just to understand the current predicament. Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one be confident. The identity of that woman is secondary, and what her subordinates are worried about is that she once had a relationship with Qi Zhengxiu, and she is an official prostitute, and she is circling among the court officials in the Southern Tang Dynasty all day long, in case——"

"What if?" Zhao Kuangyin was puzzled.

Zhao Pu continued: "The relationship between the Great Zhou and the Tang is delicate, although the first emperor attacked the Tang and took their city, but the Tang people are cunning, surrendering on the surface, but secretly there are actions. In particular, the crown prince Li Hongji was even more ready to move, and strengthened the training of sailors. Li Jing also kept writing to let Li Hongji succeed to the throne, if Li Hongji really succeeded to the throne, then the Great Zhou would have to spend troops and Tang Zhou. ”

"Li Hongji's hard bone will have to be eliminated sooner or later." Zhao Kuangyin frowned and said, "What do you mean-"

"I'm afraid that Nantang will secretly make a trick, and that Nantang woman is next to the young general's pillow, but she is a Tang person after all, if she becomes a pawn of Nantang, then we will have endless troubles." Zhao Pu added.

Zhao Kuangyin's heart jumped for no reason, Zhao Pu said this is reasonable, if the woman of the Southern Tang Dynasty is a spy and is by Zhao Kuangyi's side, she can't get any news. In this way, could it be that the Tang people deliberately arranged it by Kuang Yi's side? Now this plan is just to welcome or reject? couldn't help but pound the table hard: "Tang people are cheap!" ”
