Ji Zhong knelt down to apologize and said, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. Zhong is worried about the siege of the east gate. If he can't feel at ease, how can he recover from his injuries?"

Zheng Bowensheng rubbed his forehead and sat down, sighed again, and said, "I have nothing to do with you, the high-ranking official. Come and sit here." As he spoke, he extended his hand to Ji Zhong.

After Ji Zhong thanked him, he sat down. Zheng Bowensheng told Ji Zhong about what happened at the city gate in general. With a smile on his lips, he said: "Gu Dang really didn't expect that Taifu only relied on a pair of words.

He actually retreated the soldiers and horses of the four countries... If Qi Lu cannot be used by Gu, he will be a disaster in the future."

Ji Zhong also fell into deep thought and said: "Your Majesty, although the four countries have withdrawn their troops, they have not yet left our territory of Zheng State, so we have to guard against it."

Zheng Bohuansheng nodded and said: "Yes, Gu Yi thought so. Before returning, he had summoned Da Sima to arrange military defense. You don't have to worry about this matter."

As he spoke, he suddenly stretched out his hand and crossed the desk.

Zheng Bowensheng and Ji Zhong were sitting across the table from each other. Zheng Bo suddenly leaned over and crossed the table. Ji Zhong subconsciously hid for a moment, but soon stopped moving. Zheng Bowensheng held the table with one hand and gently raised it with the other.

He raised his chin and turned his head to look at the pinch marks on his neck.

Then he sneered, narrowed his eyes, and with a trace of murderous intent, he said: "This Zheng Hua..."

The pinch marks on Ji Zhong's neck were very heavy, and the bruises were accompanied by the blood marks on the fingernails, which was shocking. In fact, when Gongsun Hua pinched Ji Zhong's neck, Zheng Bohuansheng could move. He was not really poisoned, but just because

Realistically, Zheng Bohuan did not take any action and endured it.

Zheng Bowensheng looked at the pinch marks on Ji Zhong's neck and said, "Have the wounds been treated with medicine?"

Ji Zhong nodded and said, "Go back to your Majesty. I have already been given the medicine."

Uncle Zheng added: "The scars on the back have also been treated with medicine?"

Ji Zhongfu nodded again and said, "Go back to your Majesty and I've also given you medicine."

Zheng Bowensheng said, "Come here and take a look at the wounds on your back."

Ji Zhong hesitated a little, but still stood up slightly, walked around the desk and knelt down, with his back to Zheng Bowensheng. He then raised his hand to untie his outer robe, and then slipped the black official robe from his shoulders along with the inner garment.

Down.

The wound on the back has been cleaned and bandaged, and is wrapped in a plain colored cloth. However, the wound cloth is a little red at this time, which looks extremely dazzling under the dim firelight.

On Ji Zhong's back, in addition to the wounds wrapped in scars, there were many scars, large and small, that had already scabbed over, leaving indelible scars.

Zheng Bowensheng looked at the scars, suddenly raised his hand, and gently rubbed the deepest scar with his fingertips. Ji Zhong was taken aback, because his back was to Zheng Bowensheng, so he didn't know what Uncle Zheng was doing.

, turned his head and looked over in surprise.

Zheng Boyansheng's eyes were deep and he said in a hoarse voice: "This scar... I remember that at that time, Uncle Gong Duan was in trouble. You were with me in Yanyi and went your own way. You almost fell into Uncle Gong Duan's trick. In order to protect you, you fought for life and death.

After being struck by a sword, he fell off his horse and passed out immediately, which frightened Gu..."

When Ji Zhong heard him mention the past a few years ago, he couldn't help but feel a little sad. Others were envious of Ji Zhong's high position, but who knew that it would take a lot of effort to be promoted from a small feudal lord to the head of a country.

How much effort?

Which of these scars on his body were not left for Uncle Zheng and for Zheng Guo?

As Zheng Bowensheng spoke, he slowly gathered his clothes and said, "The wound is still bleeding. Remember to take good care of yourself these days."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Ji Zhong gathered up his clothes and lowered his head to straighten his belt. Then he heard Zheng Bowensheng suddenly say: "Ji Qing... are you still ready to resign?"

After the last Meishan battle, Ji Zhong originally wanted to resign, but now that Ji Ya is back and has returned to normal, to be honest, Ji Zhong's thoughts about resigning have begun to waver. Perhaps the scar has healed and he has forgotten the pain.

, or maybe Zheng Bohuansheng gave him too many red dates. Even though he knew that he should never resign, and if he didn't resign this time, he might not have a chance to escape unscathed next time, Ji Zhong was still shaken by "knowingly committing the crime".

.

Then he heard Zheng Bowensheng's deep voice and said: "If Ji Qing hadn't blocked Gu's sword this time, Gu might have been killed by Gongsun Hua. Can you, Ji Qing, resign with such confidence?"

Ji Zhong's throat rolled twice. He was a smart man and quite shrewd. He knew that Zheng Bohuansheng was giving him sweet soup again, as if the Zheng Kingdom could not survive without him. The purpose was to prevent him from resigning.

Ji Zhong lowered his head slightly, took a deep breath, and said in a calm voice, "Your Majesty, would you be brave enough to ask your Majesty, Zhong?"

Zheng Bohuansheng said: "You say."

Ji Zhong said calmly: "Your Majesty, have you already thought about how Zhong will die?"

Zheng Bowensheng suddenly narrowed his eyes, but Zhong's tone was still very calm, and he said: "Will Zhong die on the battlefield, or will he die under some crime, or..."

Before he could finish his words, Zheng Bohuansheng interrupted him categorically and said, "I don't know how, but I can swear."

Ji Zhong smiled slightly, nodded, and said: "Zhong is a subject of Zheng State, how dare you ask the king to swear an oath? But with your words, Zhong Ye deserves to die... Please rest assured, your Majesty, Zhong Ye will not make any more remarks." Official matter."

Zheng Boyensheng breathed a deep sigh of relief. Just as he was about to say something, he heard the eunuch hurriedly enter the room and said, "Your Majesty, the master of the family next to Taifu Qi is asking to see him because he has something important to do!"

Zheng Bohuansheng narrowed his eyes, because it was a troubled time at the moment, and said: "Come in."

Ji Zhong immediately stood up and stood aside. Naoyang Jian and Shi Hou quickly entered. Naoyang Jian said, "Mr. Zheng, the Grand Tutor has been detained by Mrs. Zheng Guo!"

Zheng Bohuansheng frowned, his face immediately turned ugly. He didn't need anything more from Liuyang Jian. He immediately thought of Wu Jiang's reason for detaining Qi Lu. Now that the Allied Forces of the Four Nations have arrived at his door, Wu Jiang didn't even know it. The minor ones come out and cause trouble.

Qi Lu was a popular person in front of the emperor, and he had just solved the battle of the East Gate of Zheng State. He was simply Zheng State's benefactor. Wu Jiang did this to repay a favor with a grudge. If the emperor knew about it, he didn't know what to do.

Zheng Boyansheng couldn't help but said immediately: "Don't worry, you two, if it is Gu's mother who has detained Tai Tu, Gu will definitely bring Tai Fu back in full and complete."

Zheng Bohuan acted vigorously and immediately asked someone to drive him out of Lu's dormitory and headed all the way to Wu Jiang's dormitory.

The group of people moved very quickly. Zheng Bohuan was born, the state minister sacrificed Zhong, and together with Yao Yang Jian and Shi Hou, as well as some palace officials, they drove to Wu Jiang's dormitory in the middle of the night. Who expected that Zheng Bohuan was born halfway? I actually saw another group of people looking in a hurry.

Isn't it the current emperor Ji Lin who is leading the charge?

It was already past midnight and it was not yet dawn. When the little native dog heard that Niuyangjian said that Wu Jiang had detained Qi Lu, his heart skipped a beat. The little native dog barked anxiously, but in the eyes of others, he was just a puppy. There was no use for him, so Nianyang Jian and Shi Hou left in a hurry, not paying attention to the barking little local dog.

The little native dog was grinding in place, scratching here and there with its little paws, eager to transform back into the Emperor of Zhou immediately, for fear that if it was too late, Wu Jiang would be angry with Qi Lu because of Gongsun Hua.

The little native dog roared crazily, and just as he roared, "Whoo-", a feeling of dizziness suddenly swept over him, and the little native dog tilted with a "gudong" and fell directly to the ground.

At the same time, on the soft couch in the bedroom, the emperor, who was sleeping peacefully, frowned slightly, suddenly turned over and sat up.

The lights in the hall were extinguished, and the eunuch quietly came in and was adding more lights. Unexpectedly, the emperor stood up without warning, frightening the eunuch so much that he almost sat on the ground.

Ji Lin sat up from the couch. He didn't have time to care about the eunuch. He immediately got off the couch and directly took the emperor's black robe and put it on his body. While putting on the clothes, he strode out with a low and hoarse voice and an ugly face.

He said: "Tell Guo Gong to order fifty tigers to defend the army. I want to see Mrs. Zheng Guo."

When the eunuch heard this, he was stunned. In the middle of the night, the emperor was asleep and suddenly jumped up, as if he was sleepwalking. The first thing he said after getting up was to see Mrs. Zheng Guo. Isn't that Zheng Boyuan's biological child?

Mother?

On a dark day, it was already unbelievable to go to see Zheng Bohuan's biological mother. He even asked Duke Guo to lead troops and horses there. The eunuch thought a lot in an instant. Could it be that the emperor wanted to use force on Zheng Bohuan's mother, so he brought Guo Gong with him?

To intimidate with troops and horses?

However, the emperor has never been flirtatious with women, and there have been very few scandals since he came to the throne. Is it because the emperor despises those young ladies with rich wealth, and instead likes Wu Jiang who is still charming?

The eunuch thought a lot. The emperor's face was too ugly, and he did not dare to say anything. Duke Guo's uncle was informed of the news in the middle of the night. He quickly ordered fifty soldiers and horses, and they acted vigorously and quickly.

Mrs. Zheng Guo's bedroom opens.

Unexpectedly, by such a coincidence, we met Zheng Bowensheng and his party on the road.

Naoyang Jian was shocked. They didn't know how the emperor knew about this matter. They immediately went to find Uncle Zheng. Since Uncle Zheng was Wu Jiang's mother, it was most convenient for Uncle Zheng to come forward in this matter.

I had time to inform the emperor, but I didn't expect that the emperor actually knew about this matter.

Naoyang Jian was wondering, where did the emperor know about this?

Of course, everyone could not have imagined that the Emperor was the little native dog who followed Qi Lu. Ji Lin naturally heard about this from the mouth of Yaoyang Jian. When everyone met, Ji Lin didn't say a word and walked quickly with a dark face.

Go forward.

There was a Huben guard outside the door of Wu Jiang's dormitory. When he saw many people coming from a distance, he immediately became alert and shouted: "Who are they?!"

Ji Lin's steps were windy and his black robe was fluffy. He strode over without stopping and said in a deep voice: "Open your eyes and see who I am."

When Hu Benjun saw it, he didn't expect it to be the emperor. He was so frightened that he quickly knelt down and said, "I don't know that the emperor and your superiors are here..."

Ji Lin didn't say a second word, but passed directly over Hu Benjun who was kneeling on the ground and strode inside.

There were maids keeping vigil at the door of the dormitory. Seeing the fire, a group of people suddenly rushed into the palace. They were so frightened that they immediately stopped them and said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, your wife has... has already rested. Your Majesty, your Majesty, you can't go in."

ah……"

"Yan Xie?" Ji Lin's face became even more ugly as he said, "Mrs. Zheng Guo has already taken a rest, so why are you still detaining me, the Grand Tutor?" Then he shouted in a deep voice: "Get out of here."

The palace maid did not expect that the emperor would know that the Taifu was in the palace. She was so frightened that she trembled and did not dare to stop her anymore, so she let the emperor and Uncle Zheng and his entourage break into the palace.

Ji Lin rushed into the palace in a hurry. He also brought fifty Luo division and tiger troops, and his father, Guo Gong, who was in charge of the eighth division of Zhou. This shows the seriousness of the situation. If Wu Jiang detains the Taifu, or dares to attack the Taifu

Ji Lin had already thought about the punishment. No matter if she was the mother of Zheng Bowen's child, she would fall out immediately. No one could do anything to harm Taifu Qi in the slightest.

However...

The emperor took the first step into the inner room of the palace. Before he saw Qi Lu's figure, his face froze because he heard the "giggle" laughter. The laughter was very cute and cute.

, the one who dared to laugh so wildly in Mrs. Zheng's bedroom, apart from other people, wasn't it Wu Jiang himself?

Everyone was stunned for a moment. Zheng Boyansheng thought that when they entered the inner room, they would hear Wu Jiang's hysterical scolding, or the painful cries of Master Qi being lynched, or smell some blood, etc., but he knew that was not the case at all.

in this way.

They actually heard the sound of laughter, and they laughed so happily.

The lights in the bedroom flickered, bright and dim, and unclear. Wu Jiang's voice smiled sweetly and said angrily: "Master Qi is so beautiful with a mouth, so annoying!"

Ji Lin was stunned for a moment, and his face turned even colder in an instant. He did not hear Wu Jiang's voice scolding the Taifu, but instead heard Wu Jiang's voice that seemed to be "having sex" with the Taifu. This made the emperor not angry.
To be continued...
