"Who is Your Excellency? How do I know my mother's name? Ji Tayu had already judged from the laughter that it was a young woman, and the voice was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while.

"I haven't seen my cousin for many years, and my cousin has become a nobleman, and he can't even hear my voice." At the end of the words, a woman wearing a black gauze brocade dress was already standing on the boulder opposite Duoyou, her face was covered with a black gauze scarf, slender and delicate, full of immortals, and when she looked at it coldly, it was as mysterious as the night.

"Wu Kui——, it's you!" Ji Duoyou's heart was agitated for a while, and he rushed towards the big stone, and the woman in black stretched out an arm to stop him: "Don't step forward, it's inconvenient for me to stay here for a long time, and I'm not in the mood to pour out my feelings, just a few words to my cousin, and I'll leave after speaking." ”

Duoyou stopped, but couldn't help but ask repeatedly: "Why don't you say goodbye, there has been no news for so many years?" I searched around for your news, do you know how much effort it takes? And Li Kui, she has been married to the end of the country as a concubine, and she has been talking about you------"

"Cousin," the voice behind the veil was cold and distant, "If you talk again, the little sister will have to leave." ”

"Okay, I'll stop talking, you say." Duoyou had to take a step back and make a deaf look.

"I already know what happened in the palace." Wu Kui's voice was like an early morning mist, rippling everywhere: "You have offended the Son of Heaven and the Marquis of Wei this time, don't you understand?" Cheng Zhou's Eighth Division is the important weapon of the Zhou royal family to rule the world, Ji Hu, will he rest assured that he will be handed over to you? Now, because the Son of Heaven is not in power, the ruling Zhaogonghu is your cousin's best friend, so you don't have to worry about it for the time being. ”

Ji Duoyou smiled bitterly: "I understand what you mean, but under the whole world, it is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister. It's a while, and when it's really time for the Son of Heaven to be in power, and Zhao Zimu can't cover me, I can just resign and run away. ”

"By then, I'm afraid it's too late." Wu Kui shook his head: "There are people in the court who want to get rid of you now, and there is no shortage of people around the Son of Heaven. According to my sister's humble opinion, my cousin Mo Ru took this opportunity to leave the Central Plains and go to Prince Turge, you have saved his life several times, and now he has been established as the crown prince, and you will be able to ensure that you are safe and comfortable all your life. ”

"No more." Duoyou categorically vetoed: "Wu Kui, I know that you are saying this for my good, but after my Ji Duoyou Lai is also surnamed Zhou Muji, I can't turn my back on my ancestors and homeland, be a traitor, and be criticized by future generations." It can't bring endless humiliation to Zimu, it must not! The great husband lives in the world, but ask for a clear conscience, the things of the future, and let it go! Death is death, what is there to fear? ”

Wu Kui's black veil trembled slightly, and for a moment, there was a faint sigh from under the veil: "Alas, I know that I can't persuade you, but I have to try." That's it, the Tao is not the same, I will go! ”

Ji Duoyou didn't even have time to shout "and slow", only heard the sound of clothes and skirts, and the shadow of the black gauze jumped into the dense forest behind the boulder, and disappeared again after three or two clicks. I couldn't help but exclaim, "What a light work!" ”

"Hey, guest officer—" A distant call came from the riverside, and a dark-skinned teenager rocked a small boat and came leisurely: "Guest officer, are you one of those Hojing guests who crossed the river on my master's big boat a few days ago?" ”

It's Bei'er, the boy who was injured when he turned the rudder in an iceberg a few days ago. I don't know when he came, did he hear this conversation between himself and Wu Kui? Thinking of this, Ji Duoyou couldn't help but feel weak for a while.

The young man hurriedly tied up the boat, put down the board and said, "Is the guest officer crossing the river?" Although my boat is small, it can be crossed by one man and one horse. ”

Tayu nodded, led the horse, and the snow-white steed neighed, obediently stepped onto the board, and stood carefully in the narrow cabin.

"Guest officer, the young guest said last time that he would still take our boat when he crossed the river, and he would also inform me of my sister's news. I've been waiting by the river, and when I saw a guest, I shook it over and took a look, and finally I waited for you, the guest officer. Bei'er looked excited.

"Your sister? Who is it? Duoyou asked blankly, he had been absent-minded last time he crossed the river, and he didn't hear what Ji Hu said to Bei'er.

"Oh, my sister's name is Dong'er, and I heard that she became a palace maid in the palace of Hojing. My family was originally on the border of Jianghan, but because of the flood, it was displaced to the big river basin. Now that my father and mother have passed away, my brother has gone to the army, and my little sister has also been sold to the noble family as a female envoy, and I am the only one who follows the teacher to the public school ferry. Have you heard of my sister? Bei'er poured beans in a bamboo tube and told his life experience one by one.

"You're Miss Dong'er's younger brother?" Tayu asked instinctively.

Bei'er looked surprised: "Does the guest officer really know my sister?" ”

"I know." Duoyou looked at the young man's eyes and replied seriously: "She is Huang Huanniang's personal maid and has been taking care of the third prince." But last year, there was a plague in the Hojing Palace, and your sister didn't survive it------"

The river is surging, the rolling blue waves are like a bronze mirror shining in the bright sunshine, and the boat is like a dead leaf rippling on this blue wave. In the bronze mirror, Bei'er's immature face with tears was reflected, and Duoyou held the rudder to prevent the boat from losing its direction, but he secretly thought of a plan in his heart.

He really couldn't tell if Bei'er had heard a conversation with his cousin Wu Kui on the riverside, although he was a rough person, but he was in the center of the power whirlpool, and he also understood the truth that "people's hearts are difficult to prevent". If this conversation leaks out and is seized by someone with a heart, it will be a basin of unclean sewage for himself and Zhaozi Mu, and the more he describes it, the darker it becomes.

If he is the kind of person who is ruthless, he should get rid of this Bei'er to get rid of future troubles, but he has never had such thoughts. In order to make himself feel at ease, he killed innocent people and killed his mouth, and he Ji Duoyou couldn't do this in the next life. Then the only way is to take Bei'er with you from now on, so that you can cultivate as a personal escort. In this way, he has a future, and he can rest assured.

After making up his mind, he asked, "Bei'er, are you willing to follow me in the future?" ”

Bei'er looked dazed: "What do you mean, guest officer?" ”

Duoyou smiled: "I was a general guarding the palace before, and now I am transferred to the Eighth Division of Chengzhou to train the new army. If you want, you can follow me into the Chengzhou camp and be a personal guard, and in the future, you can learn your skills and make a living, or you can go into battle to kill the enemy and make military merits, and create your own merits, how about it? ”

In the Western Zhou Dynasty, the scale of the war was limited, and most of the soldiers came from the children of the nobles and princes' offices, and the number of commoners was not large. Seeing such a good opportunity, Bei'er's eyes lit up: "Really, you are the general of the Eighth Division of Chengzhou?" Are you really willing to accept me as a pro-army? ”

Duoyou smiled and nodded: "There is no falsehood in what you say." ”

"I do." Bei'er got up and roared loudly, knelt down straight in the cabin: "Swear to follow the general!" ”
