"Moreover," Zhao Pu frowned and added, "In the past few days, I have sent someone to secretly follow that Nantang woman, and she went to Xiangao Town to see Qi Zhengxiu." That's where it gets interesting. ”

"Qi Zhengxiu?" Zhao Kuangyin's eyebrows raised, "Isn't he dead?" ”

Zhao Pu smiled faintly: "What's interesting." He really didn't die. The subordinates who stared at the woman saw with their own eyes that not only did Qi Zhengxiu not die, but his original eye disease was also cured, no different from ordinary people. After a pause, he said, "He came to a remote place like Yunwan Village, Xiangao Town, didn't he come to see the scenery?" ”

Zhao Kuangyin's heart was a little uneasy, the Southern Tang Dynasty was like an invisible ship in the wind and rain to Da Zhou, although it now received more than a dozen states and counties from the Tang Dynasty. But the hundred-legged insect dies and does not stiffen. The national situation of the Southern Tang Dynasty is unpredictable, especially the sailors, which is even more inscrutable by the Great Zhou in the north. Therefore, the emperor did not continue to hit the Yangtze River, but accepted it when he saw it. And Li Hongji Qi Zhengxiu of the Southern Tang Dynasty is even more hard bones that can't be gnawed, with them, the Southern Tang Dynasty can't be as down-to-earth as Wu Yue, and will always be a fish bone choked in the throat. thought that Qi Zhengxiu was dead, so Nantang broke a wing, but now this wing is connected again.

Zhao Kuangyin's hand clasped the table hard. After a while, his voice was low: "So, that woman still has a close connection with Qi Zhengxiu?" ”

Zhao Pu replied: "She hired Qi Zhengxiu first, and it is not surprising that the love thread is not broken." ”

"Then why is she domineering Kuang Yi again?" Zhao Kuangyin didn't wait for Zhao Pu to answer before he came up with an answer, "Perhaps, Qi Zhengxiu is using her to get close to Kuangyi." Pierce me inside the Great Zhou. This woman must be removed. Without waiting for Zhao Pu to reply, he said firmly, "In this way, tomorrow I will find a few astute soldiers and simply destroy that woman." Save her from getting in the way in front of Kuang Yi. ”

Zhao Kuangyin's last few words were ruthless. Before, he watched Zhao Kuangyi indulge in his feelings for Xiao Tao, he was disgusted and impatient with Xiao Tao, but he was not so bad that he wanted to kill her. First, he didn't think that a woman could make Zhao Kuangyi indulge for long, and Zhao Kuangyi would definitely get lost when the freshness passed. Second, although he kills people on the battlefield, he is dignified and a master of honor. is not enough to attack a woman, especially a lowly official prostitute.

But since Zhao Kuangyi said goodbye for her, Zhao Kuangyin's hatred has been as deep as a day, especially now, when he judged that the woman was just a fine work of Nantang, he was even more annoyed and empowered, and he couldn't wait to get rid of her immediately.

"No, no," Zhao Pu waved his hand hurriedly, "Adults must not." ”

"How?" Zhao Kuangyin's thick eyebrows raised, "I can't help her, what's wrong?" ”

"The official prostitute is naturally at the disposal of the adults. However, what should the major general do if she is disposed of? Zhao Pu had a worried look on his face, "As soon as we disposed of her, we went to the young general to go back to Kaifeng, with the young general's plan, how could we not know who did it?" And at this time, don't say that we get rid of that official prostitute, even if that official prostitute is an accident of our own, I am afraid that the young general will suspect us. In this way, the young general will have hatred in the hearts of adults, how can he serve the great cause? ”

Zhao Kuangyin was a little unwilling: "Isn't brotherly love as good as a prostitute?" He can't understand, isn't it just a woman, even if she is the most cherished true mother, how can she compare to the righteousness of her brother, how can she compare it to her deeds?

Zhao Pu sighed: "The young general is a person with the utmost affection. His fame and fortune can be given up for that woman. What's more, he took her to live incognito in this place, doesn't it already show that everything is not as important as her? ”

Zhao Kuangyin pondered Zhao Pu's words carefully, and had to sigh heavily. People are indeed different. After a while, he asked Zhao Pu, "Then what do you say?" ”

Zhao Pu pondered for a moment and said, "In my opinion, I should first ask Mrs. Du to go back on the grounds of Old Madam Du's body." You can first promise to buy another house outside the mansion in Kaifeng and let the women of the Southern Tang Dynasty live in it. So that they have no reason to refuse. When I returned to Kaifeng, there was time to slowly pass away. Are you still afraid that you won't be able to get rid of that woman? ”

"How do Fu Xuechan and King Wei deal with it?" Zhao Kuangyin somewhat agreed with Zhao Pu's idea, it was important to bring Kuangyi back first.

"You can talk to King Wei first about temporary settlement, and it will definitely be dealt with after a while. King Wei has been watching there, and it is not difficult to stabilize it when he gives a reason. As long as he doesn't intensify hard, King Wei will not turn against him. Zhao Pu said with confidence.

Zhao Kuangyin thought about it and nodded heavily.

The next morning, Zhao Kuangyi went to Dai's house as usual. Xiao Tao got up and cleaned up the house, and began to sit in the yard in a daze again. After thinking about it for a few days, she still couldn't figure out what to do. Memories are sometimes really burdensome, and it's better to have them than not to have them.

She was caught up in a storm of thought that she had never seen before. The person she trusted and relied on the most was completely subverted, and she didn't know where she was going. Abandon Zhao Gongzi and go back to the Southern Tang Dynasty to find Qi Gongzi? But she has already married Zhao Gongzi, so what face does she have to go back? What's more, I have to be an official prostitute when I go back, thinking of the ghostly purple of the dark night, Xiao Tao is trembling.

But thinking of the white-clothed Qi Gongzi, her heart also hurts. She promised Gongzi Qi first. And if she didn't treat Zhao Gongzi as Qi Gongzi, how could she keep sticking to Zhao Gongzi? But is that really the case? Xiao Tao's head hurts when she thinks about it, but she can't figure it out. The little finches in front of him have begun to build nests, and Xiao Tao's eyes are a little confused, and I don't know when, tears have quietly slipped down.

Suddenly, there was a squeak in my ears, and someone pushed the door and walked in. Xiao Tao hurriedly came back to her senses and looked at the person who came in, dressed in a black robe, although there was no pattern, the fabric was very smooth, and the price should be expensive. Thirty or forty years old, with a long beard and a broad face, looking kind, Xiao Tao asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

The man smiled slightly, and arched his hand: "The girl is Ye Xiaotao?" After seeing Xiao Tao nodding, he added, "Under Zhao Pu, he is a subordinate of Lord Zhao Kuangyin." ”

"Oh." When Xiao Tao heard Zhao Kuangyin's name, she looked a little nervous, and hurriedly looked behind Zhao Pu, fortunately, he was the only one. Xiao Tao's impression of Zhao Kuangyin seems that only she and Zhao Kuangyi are on the run, and Zhao Kuangyin is chasing.

Zhao Pu saw Xiao Tao's panicked look, and he already understood, and smiled faintly: "Girl, don't be nervous." It's just me. I came to the girl just to have a chat with her. There was absolutely no other meaning. "Death in battle.

Xiao Tao saw that Zhao Pu was sincere and didn't bring anyone, so she invited Zhao Pu to the house, poured two cups of tea and put them on the table in front of Zhao Pu, and rubbed her hands a little embarrassedly: "It's too simple here, there are only some wild tea in the countryside, please drink it." ”

Zhao Pu took a sip of tea, frowned, looked at Xiao Tao and asked, "Young General, oh no, Kuang Yi also drinks these on weekdays?" ”

Xiao Tao nodded, and Zhao Pu sighed and said, "I really didn't expect it." Although Kuang Yi is not the style of a gentleman on weekdays, he does not pay attention to luxury, but he only has a soft spot for tea, and he must be a famous new tea, Yangxian tribute tea is his taste, and he can't drink good tea for three days before, so no matter how bitter the conditions are in the barracks, good tea must always be prepared for him, but I didn't expect that now I drink this kind of tea every day. It's—"

Zhao Pu's words made Xiao Tao's face suddenly red. Why it was red, she couldn't tell, but looking at the meaning of the person in front of her, it seemed that she had affected Zhao Gongzi. But in fact, it's not. If it weren't for her, he wouldn't have to live in this countryside to support the squire's son as a private school, and then live this kind of coarse tea and light food. She was born lowly, but Zhao Gongzi is not.

Zhao Pu saw that Xiao Tao was distracted, and he felt a little more sure in his heart, and said slowly: "This time, I came, mainly on the order of Lord Zhao Kuangyin, and took Kuangyi back to Kaifeng. Old Madam Du, oh, Old Madam Du is the mother of the two Lord Zhao, seriously ill in bed, waiting for the adults to go back to visit, I don't know how many days there are, alas——"

Xiao Tao's heart was shocked, and she couldn't help asking, "How can this be?" ”

"Mrs. Du is old, and her feelings for Kuang Yi are very deep, and now Kuang Yi is not around, she misses and becomes ill, and she has found many doctors for diagnosis and treatment, but it has not worked, and it has become like this." Zhao Pu looked at Xiao Tao's expression and said, "As a son of man, he should be filial to his mother no matter what." ”

Xiao Tao's hand rubbed the placket of her clothes, a little uneasy, and after a while, she bit her lip and said, "You can say this to Childe, why are you looking for me?" ”

Zhao Pu was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Xiao Tao to find out the crux of the problem, it seems that this Nantang woman is not easy to deal with. Sure enough, the official prostitutes were all well trained. Zhao Pu sighed deeply: "The problem is here. Lord Zhao Kuangyin has actually looked for Kuang Yi many times, but in Kuang Yi's heart, the girl is the most important. No one or anything can compare to treating a girl. It's just that now, I see that the girl's condition is also very good, and besides, a famous doctor can also be invited to Kaifeng for treatment. also asked the girl to look at Mrs. Du's serious illness and persuade Kuang Yi to go back to Kaifeng together. After a pause, he said, "The girl and Kuang Yi have a deep relationship, where is it not the same?" Instead of living in this poor country, it is better to go back to Kaifeng and do the same, and live in another house, only the girl is alone, and there is no difference from here. ”

Xiao Tao finally understood the meaning of Zhao Pu's appearance. It turned out that he was afraid that Zhao Kuangyi would not listen to the persuasion to return to Kaifeng, so he left. Xiao Tao thought for a while and said, "I listen to Childe." ”

It's cunning. Zhao Pu was slandered in his heart, but he still had a smile on his face: "That's good." As he spoke, he looked out of the house, "Little finches have thoughts of admiration, let alone people." I hope the girl can help Kuang Yi do her filial piety. After saying that, he chatted casually with Xiao Tao, and then got up and left.
