Chapter 162

After returning to Jiang's Mansion, he was extremely careful in everything he ate, housed, and transported, for fear that he would accidentally spoil his stomach or freeze it, and make a fool of himself that day.

The celebration banquet started after noon, and before Ji Ziqi was about to go to the palace in the morning, the concierge suddenly delivered a letter.

"Miss Xiaoxue, this is sent by a lady named Ye Xiaojiao. She said that she will report her name directly after delivery, so you will know who it is." The porter said respectfully.

Ye Xiaojiao?In front of Ji Ziqi's face appeared that petite and flamboyant face, with eyes like wildfire.

Ji Ziqi took the letter, but he didn't dare to open it.

If it was normal, she wouldn't care.But today is different from the past, she can't make any mistakes!
After hesitating for a moment, she turned around and put the letter back into the room, and went out.

In the palace, apart from His Majesty the Emperor and the First Prince, all the officials of the Li Kingdom had arrived.

Ji Ziqi stood in a corner, involuntarily searching for Du Feng's figure in the crowd.

There were a lot of people, and all he could see was his exposed half-length robe and the half black head of the person standing in front of him.

Ji Ziqi was a little disappointed, thinking how this fellow has no telepathy with her at all!

After looking at it for a while, just as he was about to look away, the man suddenly moved half a step back, turned his head slightly, and smiled slightly at her.

Ji Ziqi saw his prank from that smile, hate it!To tease her on purpose?
Then, taking advantage of no one looking this way, he quickly made a face at him.

Du Feng laughed even harder!The starlight in her eyes seemed to be saying to her, Qiqi, you miss me!I miss you too!

Ji Ziqi winked at him, then licked his tongue: Only ghosts miss you!

That naughty and seductive action made Du Feng feel hot all over, his eyes darkened, and he gave her a look, you little girl!
Ji Ziqi became more and more complacent, shaking his chin, showing a provocative expression of "Come on, bite me if you have the ability".

Du Feng's eyes darkened, he opened his mouth and said silently: "Wait-me!"

Ji Ziqi opened his mouth and answered him silently: "Who-afraid-who!"

The two used their facial expressions and mouth shapes to flirt silently in the public, as if no one was around.

Seeing that noon was almost over, Xi Liemo appeared with his envoys.

She was wearing a brocade red robe, embroidered with dark golden totem patterns, low-key and unassuming, which made her unparalleled handsome face even more perfect.

Today's Xi Liemo's devilish expression is a little restrained, with a laid-back look on his face, as if he was chatting with his own ministers in the Xiqiang Palace.

Even though this man was behind the scenes who sent someone to assassinate him, Ji Ziqi still had to admire this man's demeanor.

Ji Ziqi glanced at Du Feng unconsciously, but saw that his eyes were ice-cold, looking at Xi Liemo coldly, his eyes full of suppressed murderous intent.

Xi Liemo seemed to have noticed something, and walked towards Du Feng.

All the officials gave way one after another, and he walked straight up to the tall and straight Du Feng, smiling slightly.

Du Feng was expressionless and did not back down. The two outstanding men just confronted each other.

One is the great king of another country, and the other is the great general of Li country!

It stands to reason that in terms of identity, Du Feng's momentum should be much shorter.

But at the moment when these two confronted each other, it felt like they were evenly matched!
One is noble, one is cold, one is enchanting, one is resolute, two completely different temperaments, but they are on par, not inferior!

The status of military generals has always been lower than that of civil servants, and Du Feng is young, although he has won surprises many times, he is still young, and his accumulated military achievements are limited.

Perhaps among a group of young people, he can be regarded as the best, but for a group of veteran ministers who have struggled in the court for decades, the previous Du Feng can only barely catch their eyes!
However, at this moment, Du Feng, who did not hold back his momentum, just stood upright and stood still, with the potential of thousands of troops, smiling proudly in the world!

Such a gesture was vividly engraved into the hearts of everyone.

I also saw Ji Ziqi's chest thumping.

Her man, at this moment, is so handsome!

The corners of Xi Liemo's lips curled up, breaking the deadlock: "General Du, I have been waiting for you for a long time!"

Du Feng clasped his fists in both hands, and said in a deep voice: "General Weiyuan Du Feng has met the King of Xiqiang!"

"I've heard the name of General Du for a long time, but it's a pity that I haven't seen it!" Xi Liemo's handsome face floated with sincere admiration, "I saw you today, it's just like rumors!
My Xiqiang Lianjia army was defeated by General Du, and I am sincerely convinced! "

Du Feng's expression remained unchanged: "Your Majesty, I'm so honored! This general deserves it!"

Xi Liemo said seriously: "General Du, I came here to apologize to General Du and make a promise!"

The officials next to him couldn't help but start to talk, these two people, what's going on in private?

Then someone glanced at Ji Ziqi in the corner, showing a sudden realization.

"The king of Japan did not send someone to assassinate the general's fiancée, Miss Ji, but it still happened due to a mistake." Xi Liemo said:
"This king admits that there is an unshirkable responsibility! The relevant people have been investigated and punished!
General Du, I hereby solemnly promise you that I will never send anyone to touch Miss Ji and her family again in my lifetime!
On the contrary, I also want to ask Ms. Ji sincerely about many questions about spells! "

Du Feng locked his eyes tightly on him, trying to judge the authenticity of his words from the expression on his face.

After a moment, Du Feng believed his words.

Even though he was smiling, and even though the tone of his words was a gesture of goodwill, that flamboyant demeanor could never conceal the pride and arrogance in his bones!
Such a proud man, if he has done it, he has done it, and if he has not done it, he has not done it. He will never care about anyone's opinion.

Why do you have to pull out unnecessary words to conceal sentient beings?

Du Feng glanced in Ji Ziqi's direction.

Ji Ziqi didn't understand what he understood!This man has the same arrogance and disdain as Zhang Zhu in his bones!
Perhaps because of this, before the assassination, Ji Ziqi never guarded against him on this point.

She nodded slightly towards Du Feng.

"Your Majesty, this general is my general, and Ms. Ji is Ms. Ji. Although she is this general's fiancée, she is an independent person."

Du Feng turned his head and looked directly at Xi Liemo, "This general dare not answer for her, please forgive me! But this general will bring your request to me.

As for success or failure, it is entirely up to her to decide! "

This man, Xi Liemo couldn't help but smiled slightly.

As expected, he is indeed the man that Princess Zhangzhu once liked, and it is indeed worth it!

Xi Liemo praised in his heart: Zhang Zhu has a good eye.

Then with a slight smile, he nodded slightly in Ji Ziqi's direction.

"His Majesty the Emperor has arrived! The Empress has arrived! The Eldest Prince has arrived!" the palace servant's voice sounded sharply.

All the officials quickly stood on their seats and knelt down, "I have seen His Majesty the Emperor! I have seen the Empress! I have seen the First Prince!"

"All loves are flat! Today is a celebration banquet to celebrate the friendship and covenant between Li Kingdom and Xiqiang. All loves, you don't need to be polite!"

His majesty the emperor standing in the position of high spirits, after all, there is nothing more glorious than receiving the neighboring king who came to negotiate peace in his own territory.

"My loves, please take your seats, Your Majesty, please take your seats!"

A group of people entered their positions in an orderly manner, and after a while, the palace performance began.

With the sound of silk and bamboo, the pink gauze sleeves twirled all over the venue, and the breasts were half exposed, a misty pink and white, against the delicate and beautiful face of the dancer, and the eyes and hearts of the flower lovers.

The winking eyes are like silk, lingering, weaving into affectionate nets, throwing them towards many outstanding men on the field, hoping to catch one of them.

If there is some response or approval, the wicker-like waist will twist more and more happily, as if it is about to separate from the body.

Ji Ziqi was dumbfounded.

After a few glasses of wine, many officials on the field began to relax, showing some original expressions on their faces, pointing to a certain dancer on the field with the people around them from time to time.

Some of them have a little less self-control, and there is already a bit of lewdness in their eyes.

Ji Ziqi secretly looked at Du Feng, who was sitting next to Master Cui, Minister of the Ministry of War, the two of them lowered their heads, they didn't know what they were talking about, and they never looked at the dancers on the stage.

She was a little relieved, took a breath, and looked away.

But at the moment of recycling, he met Shang Li Yuan's deep eyes.

Those eyes were as deep and cold as an ancient tomb, making Ji Ziqi's heart skip a beat.

Such Li Yuan was a complete stranger to her.

She nodded slightly, pretending to enjoy the food in front of her, raised her chopsticks, and looked away.

However, that cold gaze shrouded her all the time, and she refused to leave for a long time.

Ji Ziqi sighed in his heart: Brother, why are you bothering?

The song and dance banquet soon came to an end, Xi Liemo got up and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the world-famous Li country song and dance should only exist in the sky. It is my honor to see you today."

"Haha," His Majesty the Emperor smiled heartily, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Xi Liemo said: "However, this country of Li is not only famous for its singing and dancing, but also for its magic skills, so this king has a merciless request!"

When His Majesty the Emperor was accompanied by members of the Xi Liemo Named Masters Association, he had already predicted that there would be a lot of fighting today.

He smiled slightly at the moment, "Xiqiang and our country of Li have become friends with each other, please speak up if your majesty has something to say! If you can fulfill your majesty, I will definitely do so."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xi Liemo said: "I have studied the art of art since I was a child, and I know very well that the art of art is of great help to the development of the country! In my Western Qiang, just like your country, we are vigorously promoting the art of art!

However, we in Western Qiang have less than 20 years of promotion of spells, and our level is limited. Therefore, many domestic spells talents respect the members of your country's magicians association!
Among the envoys brought by the king this time, there are quite a few magicians who want to pay tribute to the splendor of the Li Guoshu Association!

Therefore, I, Xiqiang, would like to have a friendly competition with members of the Artisan Association of your country!Please allow your Majesty! "

"I don't know how the king wants to compete?" His Majesty the Emperor asked.

Xi Lie Mo said: "This king has a mentor, who was originally from the Li country, and came to Xiqiang for some reason in the past 20 years. It is because of this mentor that the first king started to promote magic.

And Xiqiang has developed steadily in the past 20 years because of the promotion of magic numbers!However, although the teacher has not returned to the country of Li for 20 years, he never forgets the magic of the country of Li in his heart!

Compared with the talents of your country, the other magicians of the Western Qiang Kingdom are of a low level and are not worth mentioning.

Only this benefactor has the ability to learn from each other with the members of your country's Artisan Association.

Therefore, on my king's side, this mentor, that is, Xi Zhidong, the master of the Western Qiang Kingdom, will compete with members of your country's Artisan Association. "

At this time, a thin old man who was sitting next to him stood up. He was Xizhidong, the teacher of the Xiqiang Kingdom.

Master Jiang, Master Lin, and some older officials, including Master Gu and Master Lu, were all taken aback when they took a closer look.

The national teacher did not show up at the interview the day before yesterday on the grounds that he was unwell.

After showing up today, he kept his head down, standing in the corner of the envoy's country, and didn't talk to anyone.

No one in the kingdom of Yili noticed him.

Now that he stood up, it immediately caused a shock.

It turns out that the master of the national teacher who is now named Xi Zhidong is Gou Zhidong who was defeated by another second-class magician 20 years ago because of the factions of Jiangmen and Mencius.

Also because of this, the imperial court strictly prohibited second-class magicians and above from engaging in private fighting.

After losing, he fulfilled his bet, withdrew from the Sorcerers Association, and returned to his hometown. Since then, the Sorcerer World has lost news of him.

After the imperial ban was promulgated, Master Jiang sent people to his hometown to look for him, but was told that he had moved to another place, and no one knew the details.

But I never thought that it turned out that I went to Xiqiang.

Many people who knew Gou Zhidong showed disdain.

You, a native of Li, went to Xiqiang to help others develop spells and national power, which in itself is deceiving the master and destroying the ancestors.

It is really hateful that Xiqiang is still allowed to attack Li country!

Gou Zhidong's face at this time was peaceful.

For him, the current Xiqiang is his home, and the country of Li can only be regarded as his hometown with some memories.

But these memories are all bad memories.

Of course, he was defeated in that battle and returned to his hometown depressed.

But for some reason, this incident spread to his hometown.

All of a sudden, the people from his hometown who had been respectful to him began to point fingers at him, insinuating that he was trying to gain fame.

His only newly married son got into an argument with someone because he was dissatisfied with gossip about his father, and was accidentally stabbed to death by the other party.

His wife didn't come up in one breath, and followed.

Seeing that something was wrong, the daughter-in-law took up the family property and eloped with others to a different place.

Overnight, Gou Zhidong lost everything. With grief and indignation, he sued the government, one is to seek justice for his son, and the other is to recover his property.

However, at this time, he was no longer the high-ranking second-class magician in the eyes of the government, but a useless middle-aged man who had been kicked out of the magician association.

Because the family who stabbed his son to death had a lot of property, in order to save his son's life, he did not hesitate to give half of it to bribe the local government.

So the county magistrate was acquitted, and decided that Gou Zhidong's son had accidentally stabbed himself in the process of fighting with the opponent.

After such a judgment came out, the family rejoiced, and Gou Zhidong could hardly believe his ears. In the case of so many people with all evidences, the county magistrate actually made such a judgment?

He knelt at the gate of the yamen for three days, but no one paid any attention to him.

Later, a teacher who used to have some friendship with him couldn't bear to see him like this, so he persuaded him to go back, and secretly told him that those witnesses had already been bribed by the family to change the confession.

In the absence of witnesses, physical evidence can be explained in any way you want!
So let him stop kneeling down, arrange all the funerals at home earlier, marry a woman as soon as possible, maybe he can leave a queen.

At this time, Gou Zhidong knew the truth.

He looked up to the sky and laughed three times, which made people want to cry more than crying, and then dragged his legs that were almost kneeling, and returned home.

After a few days, Gou Zhidong sold all the remaining items in the house and left his hometown.

Gou Zhidong originally had no plan to go to Xiqiang. He traveled northward and accidentally met the young Xiqiang Xian Dawang at that time.

One was full of grief and indignation, and the other was worried about Xiqiang who was suffering at that time.

One wanted to take revenge on the Li country, and the other wanted to own the rich Li country when he saw the rich country!

The two hit it off!
Then Gou Zhidong went to Xiqiang with the former king of Xiqiang, and each reached a cooperation agreement for their own goals.

Afterwards, all deployments to the Li country began, as well as the promotion of the development of the Western Qiang.

Because what he did greatly helped Xiqiang, the former king gave him the surname Xi and changed his name to Xizhidong.

However, everything in Li country has been arranged in secret for more than ten years, and finally achieved good results.

Many talents of the Li Guo Shushu Association died in the underground palace. Without President Mei's coordination, the internal struggle became more and more intense.

The younger generation, Fan Mingyi and Master Yang, who hope to take over the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Criminal Justice, have been bewitched by money and beauty, and have lost their ambition to fight.

If this goes on like this, within ten years, Li Guo will be slowly hollowed out like a tree with a rotten interior, leaving only a barely noticeable skin.

In this way, his dream came true, and the Sorcerers Association was under his feet.

In this way, the dream of the former great king of Xiqiang came true, and Li Guo was like an old man who was strong but capable, and could be obtained without any effort.

However, all of this was unexpectedly destroyed by a little girl named Ji Ziqi in just over half a year.

His 20 years of hard work!It was destroyed so easily.

Xi Zhidong looked in Ji Ziqi's direction with resentment, this woman should have been killed a long time ago for ruining his good deeds!
If it wasn't for Xi Liemo's soft heart, how could she have survived till now?

It's a pity, it's a pity, Xi Zhidong felt sad, if it wasn't for her, he would soon get his wish!

In a blink of an eye, that desolation turned into a sky-high resentment, shooting towards Ji Ziqi.

His undisguised hatred was felt by many people.

Master Jiang, Lord Lin, Du Feng, Master Gu, Master Lu, and Li Yuan.

It turned out that the person who really wanted to harm him behind his back was actually the Master Xiqiang Guoshi in front of him!Du Feng sneered in his heart.

Xi Zhidong glanced in Ji Ziqi's direction, then turned to His Majesty the Emperor, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I just want to fight Miss Ji Ziqi of the Artisan Association!"

no?Many people have already guessed his purpose.

It's just that he is an elder and has a high position after all, and now he is in front of His Majesty the Emperor, King Xiqiang, and all the officials.

To actually say that he wants to fight Li Guoyi's newly famous first-class art student?
One must know that before he left Li country, he was already a top second class magician.

Now 20 years have passed, with his talent, if he has been studying hard and practicing hard, he has already reached the level of a first-class magician or even higher.

But now, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he challenged teachers and students like Yiyi?
Does this make sense?

"Well," His Majesty the Emperor was also a little embarrassed, "Since the Master of the State Teacher was a member of the Li Kingdom, he must know the rules of our Li Kingdom. This high-ranking person is not allowed to challenge the low-ranking people!
The national teacher is the person with the highest skill in Western Qiang, and Miss Ji is only a first-class student for the time being. Now the national teacher's request really makes me a little embarrassed! "

Gou Zhidong said loudly: "Your Majesty, I heard that Miss Ji defeated Ma Shangzhou and Feng Zimeng in the Magician Association, and those two have long been the best among the first-class magicians in Li Guo.

Miss Ji is famous all over the world because of this battle!

Although Miss Ji is only a first-class magician for the time being, but if the rules of the Li country allow cross-level exams, the old man absolutely believes that Miss Ji can easily obtain the title of first-class magician!

Therefore, the old man's challenge to her today is not a violation of Li Guodoushu's rules! "

It is said that the person who knows your strength best is not your friend, but your enemy!

When Xi Zhidong said this, the person who was most shocked was Ji Ziqi himself.

She had never known him before, yet he knew her so well!From this person's point of view, he was much more difficult to deal with than Master Ma and Master Feng!
Having said this, His Majesty the Emperor, because of his sympathy, refused, and it was wrong not to refuse. While hesitating, Ji Ziqi took the initiative to come out.

As soon as the ethereal girl's voice sounded, it hovered over the empty hall for a long time, "Your Majesty, the girl is willing to give it a try!"

Ji Ziqi came out from the back, his eyes were shining brightly, with a sky full of light, and the heroic brows set off the jade-like skin, his charm was unparalleled.

The bright red skirt swayed between walking, like blossoming peach blossoms.

With a smile on his face, his steps were steady, as calm as if he was going to meet a junior who loved his elder.

Du Feng proudly looked at the woman who passed in front of him, filled with speechless emotions, his period should be like this!

That calm and leisurely demeanor made all the officials who didn't know her very well and were dissatisfied with her outrageous words just now nod repeatedly.

She deserves to be a woman of our country of Li, with a decent atmosphere, not inferior to a man in the slightest!

Ji Ziqi stepped forward slowly and saluted the Emperor, "Your Majesty, the women of the people are willing to accept the challenge!"

His Majesty the Emperor looked at the girl who looked down respectfully in front of him. She had a delicate figure and a calm demeanor. She stood among the men in the audience, calmly and unparalleled in style.

Compared with his proud Princess Palm Pearl, he is not inferior at all!

This is his first time face to face with this talented girl Ji Ziqi whom he has admired countless times and moved with emotion countless times.

In the East Palace before, if he went to visit Yuan'er, this woman would always avoid her consciously and would never appear in front of him.

He also never specifically summoned.

As an emperor, he admired her talent, and as a father, he hated her ruthlessness.

For the first time in his life, His Majesty the Emperor, who was almost fifty, felt hesitant about what to do.

Simply open your eyes and close your eyes, and let the young people toss about themselves.

Until Du Feng triumphantly returned to Beijing and went to the palace to beg in front of the queen, Ji Ziqi followed him out of the palace without hesitation.

Li Yuan was furious, and he did not hesitate to contradict the queen who loved him since childhood.

Only then did he realize that this matter could no longer be ignored like this.

He marveled at her talent and was reluctant to kill her!
He is afraid of the intricate forces behind her, Master Jiang, Master Lin of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Lord Lin of the Ministry of Industry, Marshal Du, Weiyuan General Du Feng, and the Artisan Association, they cannot kill her!
In this way, he can only restrain his Yuan'er and wrong his Yuan'er.

Who said that emperors can act willfully?How many people know the bitterness and forbearance of the emperor?

His Majesty's thoughts were fleeting, he looked back at the girl in front of him, and said softly, "Are you sure?"

"Return to Your Majesty, women of the people must do their best!" The girl's voice was clear and firm, full of unyielding, loud and clear.

"Okay!" His Majesty the Emperor laughed with satisfaction, "How does the Master of the State Council want to fight?"

"According to Li Guo's rules, two wins out of three." Xi Zhidong's voice was equally firm.

His Majesty the Emperor nodded slightly, and the eunuch beside him shouted winkingly: "Come here! Prepare paper and ink!"

The number of fights has always been determined by drawing lots. When the little eunuch prepared the paper and ink, he also prepared the bamboo tube for drawing lots.

Xi Zhidong, the teacher of the Western Qiang Kingdom with a gloomy face, stretched out his hand from his robe, turned it out, and made a gesture of invitation.

Ji Ziqi smiled and said: "No need! Master Guoshi is a guest from afar, and the way to treat guests is to put the guest first! Master Guoshi, please write a question."

His Majesty the Emperor and all the officials in the audience smiled and nodded frequently, showing a good manner!

Xi Zhidong's nose twitched, as if he had snorted, but he didn't seem to make any sound.

Unlike all the people who were defeated by Ji Ziqi in the past, those people have always underestimated Ji Ziqi's magic skills.

And Xi Zhidong regarded her as the strongest opponent in his life.

He even surpassed the person who made him lose and left the Sorcerer Association.

He didn't dare to underestimate him at all, nor did he dare to underestimate the enemy.

From the day when he came to Li country, he closed the door to everyone and only stayed in the other hall to cultivate his body and mind.

I hope to be in the best condition to deal with today's fight with Ji Ziqi.

He wants to win, he must win!
He wanted to use this result to tell King Xi Liemo that he wanted to destroy her not because he couldn't afford to lose, nor because he was jealous of her talent!
He also wants to prove himself that he is not old!

Fighting spells is like a master's fight, there should be no distraction.

Both of them on the field knew that the other was superior, and soon entered a state of selflessness.

A group of officials from Li Kingdom and Xiqiang envoys held their breath, fearing that they would disturb the two people present.

For a moment, in the entire hall, only the rustling sound of the pen tip walking on the paper could be heard.

Xi Zhidong stopped writing, read the title over and over again, closed his eyes and meditated for a moment.

Opening his eyes, he turned to His Majesty the Emperor and Xi Liemo: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the old man's question is ready!"

His Majesty the Emperor raised his hand, "My lord, please read the question!"

"The swing in the courtyard has not been played yet, and the board rope is one foot off the ground. The two steps (ten feet) of seeing off are exactly the same as the pole, and the height of the five-foot board is off the ground. Ladies and beauties compete for kicks, and the final court is less than a joke. Good scholars, please tell me, May I ask how much Suo Chang has?"

As soon as Xi Zhidong's voice stopped, many people in the hall gasped.

It is said that this question was left by the first great artist of the Li Kingdom before his death, but it is a pity that the great artist died in the future and left the solution method.

It has been circulated in the Li Kingdom for at least 50 years, including the current two great artists, Master Jiang and Master Meng, who have not been able to solve it.

Later, gradually, over the past ten years, the number of people who raised this question has gradually decreased.

Of course, there are many first- and second-class magicians who think they are capable, and they have secretly solved this problem.

But no answer has come out, indicating that no one has solved it.

Xizhidong belongs to the older generation of magicians, so it is not surprising that he knows this question.

However, now that he took this problem out to fight with Ji Ziqi, does it mean that he has solved this problem?
Does that mean that Xi Zhidong's skill level has already entered the ranks of great artists, even faintly surpassing the two masters Jiang Meng?
Some officials who had previously held high expectations for Ji Ziqi began to feel uneasy.

Some officials who were unfamiliar with Ji Ziqi and were skeptical became more and more worried and anxious.

In case of losing, it is not Ji Ziqi's face that will be lost, but Li Guo's face, the face of His Majesty the Emperor.

His Majesty the Emperor doesn't have a deep understanding of arithmetic, and he heard this problem a few times when he was young, but he didn't know that no one has solved this problem yet.

But this does not prevent him from judging the situation at hand.

Because Master Jiang and a group of officials who have deep research on arithmetic have already told him with their suddenly changed expressions: This question is beyond imagination!Li Guo is likely to lose!

Maybe besides Ji Ziqi himself, the only ones who have confidence in her are Du Feng and Xi Liemo.

Du Feng doesn't know much about spells, he just instinctively believes in his period.

What's more, it doesn't matter if you lose, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs!What can a win or loss mean?
Regardless of whether he wins or loses, he will stand with her and bear the burden together!

Xi Liemo had seen Ji Ziqi's level in Nanlin Doushi before.

At that time, she obviously hid her strength, but she still easily passed through the Ninth Room, which no one had ever passed.

For some reason, Xi Liemo believed that the girl in front of her would be able to solve this problem.

Li Yuan, who was sitting on His Majesty's right hand, was undoubtedly the person with the most complicated mood in this meeting.

He knows the difficulty of this question, and he also knows the level of her junior sister, but he is still not sure whether she can solve this national treasure level problem.

He hoped that she would win, and after winning, everyone would be overjoyed.And he himself will have more disappointments besides happiness.

He also wanted her to lose, and after losing, everyone would blame her, maybe he would also blame her for the two of them.

In this way, wouldn't he have more opportunities for himself?
Because no matter what, he himself would never blame her.

It's just that the face of Emperor Father and Li Guo is gone.

In this complicated conflict, Li Yuan kept his eyes fixed on Ji Ziqi.

All eyes were on her.

Ji Ziqi had never heard of this question, and he didn't know its status in the world of magic and mathematics.

She was just a little shocked that Xi Zhidong wrote the question carefully and cautiously, but, um, she was really embarrassed to say it was simple.

So ordinary!

How to do?Now that Xiqiang and Li Guo have just negotiated peace, the two countries are in the period of passionate love.

If she answered too quickly, would it hurt Xi Qiang's face?

Although it is a battle of numbers, it is also a friendly exchange of ideas.

Although it is a competition, it is also necessary to show the strength of each country.

Ji Ziqi slowly closed his eyes, um, let's rest his mind first, and wait for a while before answering.

At least make it look like she's been thinking about it for a long time.

Pretending to be a fluke to answer, save the faces of both parties.

At this time, personal gains and losses must not be as important as the face of the two countries.

She believed that His Majesty the Emperor would be willing for her to do this, and Master Jiang would approve of her doing so.

As for Du Feng, she felt that no matter what she did, he would agree with her, and then stood by her side without hesitation.

Ji Ziqi couldn't help the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, and remembered that he was under the watchful eyes of everyone, so he quickly restrained his thoughts, frowned slightly, and pretended to be contemplative.

This is the case with problem solving. Sometimes I think that I have found an idea, and my face will relax, but when I think about it, it seems that something is wrong, and I will naturally show deep thought.

After seeing Ji Ziqi's expression just now, everyone thought it was so, so their moods changed with her expression.

Except for Du Feng, he could tell at a glance that his period was obviously distracted just now.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. This little fox is deceiving people in order to save the face of the two countries!
Time passed little by little, and Kiko Qi, who closed his eyes, was so sleepy that he almost wanted to yawn.

After silently estimating the time in her heart, she slowly opened her eyes.

Like a stone door being opened, everyone wants to see if there is a treasure hidden there.

It's a pity that those Rushui black eyes were too calm, as if they closed their eyes and thought hard just now, it never happened at all.

This, in the end came up with the answer, or did not come up with the answer?

Most of the officials still have no idea in their hearts, and feel uncomfortable like cats scratching.

Master Jiang and Master Lin, who knew her a little bit, saw some clues.

This great-granddaughter of mine seems to have been solved a long time ago.

It's just that due to the friendship between the two countries, I'm embarrassed to say the answer so quickly, and I deliberately delayed until now.

Satisfaction floated in the hearts of the two of them, they were not in a hurry or hasty, they advanced and retreated properly, and they looked like generals. They were worthy of being the great-granddaughter of Master Jiang (Master Lin)!
After Ji Ziqi opened his eyes, he picked up the pen and began to write on the paper.

Seeing that the time was approaching, the long-awaited voice of Qing Ling finally rang out, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Master of the State, all adults! This question, Minnie, has been solved!"

The voice was quiet, and she spoke slowly, as if she was not representing Li Guo and Xi Qiang at the moment, but just solved the homework problems taught by the master in the school.

It's just that when I was in school, I was still very excited to solve the master's problem!How could there be such calmness?

This woman who is still calm in front of the collapse of Mount Tai, what is it that can move her?

A group of officials thought that they were quite old and still not as good as one-tenth of the woman in front of them, and felt ashamed in their hearts.

It's just a small sparring match, so what if you lose?
Does it mean that the Li country is not as good as the Xiqiang?
A truly strong person will remain as calm as usual when facing wins and losses, because he not only wins, but also can afford to lose.

Just like Xi Liemo at this time, his expression has not changed from the beginning to the end, because he can afford to lose!

Many officials who wanted to understand this truth couldn't help but be impressed by the handsome face of Xi Liemo, the great king of Xiqiang, who had the same beautiful smile as before.

Turning to look at His Majesty above, the Eldest Prince Li Yuan, whose complexion had changed somewhat, sighed in his heart: Originally, the Eldest Prince was good, but compared with this Xi Liemo, he fell behind.

His Majesty the Emperor was a little nervous, but he relaxed at the moment, and he smiled, "Tell me the answer!"

Xi Zhidong, who heard Ji Ziqi say that he had been released from the side, turned pale at that moment, as if he had been hit hard.

why not?This question was solved after Xi Liemo sent the peace agreement and locked him in the Guoshi Mansion. He felt extremely resentful, and suddenly he understood and solved it.

At that moment, he was ecstatic!
Although he is not in Li country, he still pays close attention to the development of Li country's spells. No one has been able to solve this problem so far, so he knows it.

That's why he was so excited!
But now, he has been thinking about this problem for 20 years and never gave up on it, and the girl in front of him actually solved it in less than half an hour!

Could it be that the message he received earlier was wrong?In fact, someone in Li Guo has already solved this problem?
Xi Zhidong looked at Master Jiang with a shock that was too late to hide.

What does this mean? It means that Master Jiang himself has not solved it at all!
It shows that this question is really solved by Ji Ziqi, a girl who is less than seventeen years old!
The hatred and jealousy in Xi Zhidong's heart burst out, why?Why is God so unfair?

Why don't you always let him do what you want?Why always let this girl block his way at critical moments?
Xi Zhidong felt that if he was not in Li Guo's palace at this time, if he had a sword in his hand at this time.

He would definitely kill Ji Ziqi in front of him without hesitation, who was specially sent by God to stand in his way!

Ji Ziqi said slowly: "The answer to this question is: fourteen and a half."

Even though everyone thought they shouldn't be shocked, they were still shocked!
This young girl, who is not yet seventeen, has actually solved this 50-year-old problem of the Li Kingdom!
The point is, this question has not been circulated in the market for nearly ten years. At her age, where has she heard this question?
Could it be Master Jiang?But she is only a first-class student, who would use such a difficult question to discuss with a first-class student?
So what is the level of this girl's magic skills?

At this thought, even Master Jiang and Master Lin, who thought they knew her level somewhat, were startled.

This great-granddaughter is still underestimated by him!
Only Du Feng, from the beginning to the end, did not show any abnormality, only full of pride, his period was already so powerful!
Li Yuan exhaled lightly, even he himself couldn't judge whether he was feeling lost or disappointed at this moment.

The answer has already been given, and there is no need for anyone to announce right and wrong.

This is the mystery of the number of spells.Once everyone listens to it and calculates it again, they will know whether it is right or wrong.

So, soon, it was time for Ji Ziqi to write a question.

She picked up the pen, quickly wrote down the question, then faced Xi Zhidong, and slowly reported the question:
"One counts, three and three counts to two, five to five counts to four, seven to seven counts to six, nine to nine counts to eight, and eleven to a whole. What is the smallest number?"

(It means: there is a number, when divided by 3, the remainder is 2, when divided by 5, the remainder is 4, when divided by 7, the remainder is 6, when divided by 9, the remainder is 8, when divided by 11, the remainder is 0, what is the smallest number?)
As soon as this question came out, all the officials in the hall opened their mouths again.

The expression on his face was distorted, and he tried his best to restrain himself from making a sound.

Xi Zhidong's complexion was extremely ugly.

There was once a question circulated in the art of arithmetic, "Three three counts to two, five to five counts to three, seven to seven counts to two, what is the smallest number?"

It's just that there are too few numbers in this question, so if you spend some time guessing, you can guess it quickly.

When Xi Zhidong was young, he made the calculation more difficult. He found that as long as he changed the remainder, the difficulty would increase.

And if you add a number to divide, the difficulty will increase dozens of times or even more.

And if one more number is added, such as the question posed by Ji Ziqi, it will be hundreds of times more difficult on the basis of tens of times.

He once tried to add a number, and then locked himself in the study for seven days, but he still couldn't find any quick tricks.

Over the years, occasionally in my spare time, I would take it out and do the calculations myself, but I still couldn't find the slightest trick.

But he has tried to solve the remainder of four numbers at most, why has he tried five numbers?

He couldn't even solve the remainder of four numbers in less than half an hour, let alone the five numbers that he had never tried before?
This little girl in front of her is only sixteen or seventeen years old, where did she acquire all her spells?
Xi Zhidong stared at Ji Ziqi, and fell into a daze.

Ji Ziqi smiled and looked at Xi Zhidong in front of him, taking in all his expressions.

At this time, she still didn't know that this person was the mastermind behind the real plan to kill her.

There was no particular emotion in those eyes, they just looked at him politely.

But Xi Zhidong felt guilty for no reason and lowered his eyes.

He silently looked at the problem in his hand for a while, then slowly put it down, and said to His Majesty the Emperor: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty! This problem cannot be solved by the old man in half an hour!

Therefore, I want to hear Miss Ji's thoughts on how to solve this problem quickly! "

His Majesty the Emperor did not speak, but looked at Ji Ziqi.

Ji Ziqi didn't expect Xi Zhidong to give up this question so directly.

Is it too difficult for her?

At this time, Ji Ziqi didn't have time to think too much, so he restrained his mind and smiled slightly: "There is a question that the national teacher must have heard before: three or three counts to two, five to five counts to three, seven to seven counts to two, Find the smallest number.

The solution to this problem can be as follows: first independently calculate the three numbers that meet their respective remainders and meet the multiples of the other two numbers.

For example, when three three is more than two, use five times seven to get 35, 35 is just in line with three three more than two, record 35,
When five-five is more than three, use three times seven to get 21, 21 is five-five and only one is not consistent, but the multiple of 21 is 63.
When seven to seven is more than two, three times five gets fifteen. Similarly, the number of fifteen to seven to seven is only one, but the multiple of fifteen to thirty is consistent.

In the end, 35, 63, 120, and the combination of the three, [-], meets the above conditions.

But the question requires the smallest number, three times five times seven, one hundred and five, subtract one hundred and five from 120, and get 23, which is the smallest correct answer.

This solution can be used for the rest of the questions no matter how the numbers change. "

Seeing that everyone was lost in thought for a while, Ji Ziqi paused, and continued: "However, this question is slightly more difficult on this basis.

Minnv was almost deceived when she first calculated this question.

According to the above method, when calculating three, three, and two, and meeting the multiples of five, seven, and 91, I encountered some difficulties, and found that there was no number that could meet this condition.

Later, the girl thought about it carefully and realized that she had made a mistake. Nine is a multiple of three, so how could it be possible to divide by three and get two, and divide by nine is an integer?
The younger generation set aside three, three, and two, and started to calculate from five, five, and four, and finally came up with this number: two thousand five hundred and ninety nine. "

The voice landed, and the hall fell into a sluggish state.

None of the officials here has a strong mental arithmetic ability. The three figures in the first example are better, but they can't keep up with them at all.

Some of them felt itchy and began to make gestures in their palms.

Xi Zhidong picked up the brush, and did the calculations on the paper according to the method Ji Ziqi said.

Those who counted three numbers, those who counted four numbers, one problem, another problem, and then five digits.

Xi Zhidong's pen was writing faster and faster, and the expression on his face was unsure whether it was joy or sadness, it was indescribably weird.

After the calculation, he held up the pen and looked at the numbers on the paper, showing a look that seemed to be crying but not crying.

The rest were far away, and they all checked the method Ji Ziqi said in their hearts, including Xi Liemo.

Therefore, no one noticed that Xi Zhidong at this time had lost his vigor and was completely a helpless lonely old man.

Ji Ziqi, who was standing opposite, and Du Feng, who was only focused on her, clearly felt that Xi Zhidong had lost his fighting spirit.

The hall was quiet for a moment, and when Ji Ziqi was considering whether to break the deadlock, Xi Zhidong who was opposite suddenly said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, today's battle is counted, old man, surrender!"

The last two words were almost squeezed out between the teeth.

throw in the towel?These two words woke up all the officials in the palace and Xi Liemo from their thoughts of solving the problem.

On the contrary, Xi Liemo breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, he thought that his master, the master of the Xiqiang State Teacher, had finally realized his own shortcomings.

All the officials were shocked.

This is just the first question, and there are still two rounds to come. Although Ji Ziqi won the first round, but it is not the end, who can tell the result?How could you admit defeat so quickly?
What if you don't admit defeat?Xi Zhidong's heart felt sad, once the two questions were asked, the difference was clear, and if he persisted, he would lose even worse!

If he is only forty this year, maybe he will continue to fight knowing that he has lost.

So what if we lose?He still has a chance to do it all over again!
But now, he is already sixty, and his body has been getting worse day by day, he knows better than anyone else.

In the past 20 years, in order to get revenge, he has worked hard and thought hard, and he has already emptied himself.

The series of events after Li Guo's underground palace was broken, and finally Xi Liemo's insistence on negotiating a peace, became the last straw that overwhelmed his hard support.

From Xiqiang to Liguo, and then to the battle in front of this temple, it is a flashback before the oil lamp is exhausted.

Fight again?What's the point of fighting any longer?
He just wanted to prove himself again before he passed away.

As a result, God didn't even give him this chance, and insisted that he die with hatred!

A fishy smell rose from his mouth, and Xi Zhidong swallowed it abruptly.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the old man feels a little unwell, I hope His Majesty and Your Majesty's approval, let this old man go back to the other hall to rest first!"

Xi Zhidong's complexion was a dead gray, like a dying person.

At this time, His Majesty the Emperor and Xi Liemo both noticed, "Master Guoshi is already old, and he has traveled long distances, and his body has long been unable to bear it.

Today, I managed to spare some time to discuss spells with my Li country. It is really my Li country's fortune! "

His Majesty's words put a stop to today's battle in front of the palace, "Come here, send the Master of the State Teacher back to the other hall, and send the imperial doctor to check it immediately!"

"Yes!" The eunuch beside him took the order and left.

Xi Zhidong thanked him, turned around and staggered out of the hall.

The back is unspeakably bleak.

After the tables, chairs, pens and ink used by Dou Shu were lifted down, singing and dancing resumed immediately.

The fight just now seems to be nothing more than nothing.

But how could it be empty?Perhaps no one remembers Xiao Suo when Xi Zhidong left, but everyone remembers the unparalleled Ji Ziqi.

Many families with excellent nephews secretly regretted their blindness, otherwise such an excellent woman might belong to their family.

So he looked at Du Feng with envy.

Then following Du Feng's eyes, he saw Ji Ziqi who was entangled with his eyes and smiled sweetly. His face was like a little girl's coquettish, which was completely different from the calm demeanor of the palace just now.

Alas, those people shook their heads, forget it, there is no chance!What are you delusional about!
Instead, he talked in detail about the dancers on the stage with the people around him.

Ji Ziqi thought that the Xiqiang peace talks had come to an end.

Unexpectedly, after the dinner banquet, Xi Liemo left the banquet suddenly, and knelt in the center of the hall in front of all the officials of the Li Kingdom and the Xiqiang envoys.

The hall suddenly boiled, what does this mean?
His Majesty the Emperor was also stunned, "Your Majesty, please get up!"

Xi Liemo knelt down, "Your Majesty, this king once said that Li State is not only famous for singing and dancing, but also magic. But the most famous person in the world, and the one that this king yearns for is Princess Zhangzhu of Li State!
Therefore, this king implores the two countries to marry each other and marry Princess Zhangzhu to this king as his queen! "

"What?" "Isn't it?" "He actually wants to marry Princess Zhangzhu?"

The ministers couldn't help discussing in a low voice.

His Majesty's face became ugly, and the empress's face became even uglier.

That Palm Bead, who was held in the palm of her hand since she was a child, has even built the Princess Mansion long ago, so how could she be willing to let her go to suffer in that bitter cold place?

What's more, is this man the main culprit who caused Yuan'er to be injured?

He could talk to the man in front of him because of the people of Li, but how could he accept him as his son-in-law?

His Majesty the Emperor was very unhappy, but he couldn't show it directly on his face, he just said indifferently: "It's Zhang Zhu's blessing that Your Majesty can take a fancy to Zhang Zhu.

But today is the celebration banquet for the peace talks between the two countries, so don't mention anything other than the peace talks. "

The eunuch on the side immediately shouted: "San-xi-"

Xi Liemo seemed to have expected this result, and stood up from the ground freely.

Seeing his neither humble nor overbearing demeanor, the Empress Empress was furious, but also a little pity.

If he wasn't the great king of Xiqiang, if he hadn't hurt his emperor's son, with his appearance and demeanor, he would really be worthy of his palm!
But, how could she be willing to let her palm bead go to another race to suffer, so that she would not be able to see herself again for the rest of her life?
What's more, the empress glanced at Xi Liemo, how could this man be willing to be subordinate to Li Guo forever?

If Zhangzhu marries in the past, if the war between the two countries resumes, how will Zhangzhu deal with herself?

Ji Ziqi looked at Xi Liemo blankly, remembering the inexplicable look in his eyes when he met Xi Liemo twice in Nan'an and Nanlin.

At that time, no, or in other words, he already knew about the existence of Zhangzhu earlier.

Ji Ziqi sighed, feeling vaguely worried for Zhang Zhu.

She and Zhang Zhu are very clear about this man, his means and scheming.

If he had already set his sights on Zhang Zhu, how could Zhang Zhu escape?
-

After returning to Jiang's residence, Ji Ziqi was taken to Master Jiang's study.

"Xiaoxue, tell me the truth, what is your level of arithmetic?" Master Jiang said with a serious expression.

"This, my lord, Xiaoxue is not very clear either!" Ji Ziqi said helplessly.

Master Jiang frowned: "Then where did you acquire your skill level?"

Ji Ziqi's heart skipped a beat, "This, Xiaoxue doesn't know how to say it either!"

Master Jiang's face was full of doubts: "I don't know what to say?"

"That is, once you see it, you will understand it." Ji Ziqi explained hesitantly.

Master Jiang's eyes suddenly became a little sharper. In this world, is there really someone who is born with good skills?

He knew that his great-granddaughter was very talented, and if it was inherited from him, then she would be the best, so he would explain it.

But today, even he couldn't solve the two questions in a row. How did she know how to solve them?
Apart from explaining it as a natural gift, Master Jiang really doesn't know how to explain Ji Ziqi's magical ability!
The girl in front of her seemed to be a little panicked, her watery eyes were full of uneasiness.

Master Jiang looked at her tender face, smooth forehead, and immature face, and sighed.

When did this sensible, well-behaved, generous and calm girl ever feel so uneasy?

"Xiaoxue," Master Jiang said in a slow tone, "Grandpa has no other intentions, just want to confirm.

Perhaps there are some people in this world who are different from ordinary people in certain aspects, such as the ability of Xiaofeng. You may have a talent that surpasses others in terms of spells. "

Ji Ziqi heaved a sigh of relief secretly, and laughed along with him.

"Are you going to take the third-class magician exam in December?" Master Jiang asked.

"Xiaoxue wants to go, what do you think, Grandpa?" Ji Ziqi cautiously asked.

Master Jiang nodded, "Go if you want. There's no need to hide your talents for the sake of other people's gossip!"

"Yes!" Ji Ziqi relaxed.

Master Jiang looked at the back of Ji Ziqi who pushed open the study door and left, just like Jiang Ling back then, and thought to himself: I don't care who she is, I only know that she is my great-granddaughter now.

The news that Xi Liemo requested marriage in front of all the officials, His Majesty the Emperor, Empress Empress and Li Yuan all tacitly did not tell Zhang Zhu.

In their minds, this is impossible to agree to, why bother to say it?
However, there were so many palace officials and eunuchs present, and His Majesty the Emperor had never explicitly prohibited this matter, so the news soon spread to every corner of the palace.

The palace servants who served Zhangzhu saw that she had been unhappy these two days, so they treated it as a joke and told Zhangzhu about it.

"Princess, I heard that the king of Xiqiang was overwhelmed by your beauty. Last night, in front of civil and military officials and Xiqiang envoys, he asked His Majesty for marriage, but His Majesty declined."

Siriemo?Those disgusting eyes floated in Zhang Zhu's mind, resisting the uncomfortable feeling, and threw him out of his mind.

Humph?That nasty man didn't bother to talk to him!
The queen father and queen mother didn't even send anyone to tell her, presumably they must have made up their minds that they would not agree.

Zhang Zhu put the news behind her, and leaned on the side of the fence boredly, watching the red koi swimming slowly under the thin ice in the pool.

There are not many days until the first day of December, and she made an appointment with Ji Ziqi to go to the market tomorrow and listen to the opinions of the merchants.

She once said that she was very envious of Ji Ziqi, not only because she got his love, but also because she could be so free and do what she wanted.

And Zhangzhu herself, like the red koi under the thin ice, seems to be free, but in fact can only move within a narrow range.

When will she have her own sky?
At this time, Zhangzhu suddenly thought of Xiliemo, and thought of the vast world of Xiqiang.

She sat up straight involuntarily, and a strange light shone from her eyes.

"Get ready, the princess is going to the queen mother now."

Queen's Hall.

"No! The queen mother will never agree!" The empress's voice was fierce, with a bit of intensity that was not usually there.

Zhang Zhu's voice was very calm, "My queen, as the princess of the Li country, Zhang Zhu is a member of the royal family, so she is obliged to seek the well-being of the people of the Li country.

Xi Liemo, the king of Xiqiang, is by no means an ordinary person. I believe that after seeing her, the empress mother must have the same thoughts in her heart as Zhang Zhu.

Although he signed a 20-year non-aggression contract with his father, but if Xiqiang becomes strong, Zhang Zhu believes that he will never abide by this agreement dutifully.

In this world, the winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit!Xi Liemo is definitely not the kind of person who sticks to the old rules in order to silence the people of the world.

The most effective and direct way to resolve disputes amicably between nations is through marriage!
Why is Zhangzhu willing to leave her father and mother, but Zhangzhu believes that as a child of the royal family, she must not forget her responsibility because of her own selfishness! "

His Majesty the emperor at the side also disapproved, "Zhang Zhu, you are so sensible, father is very pleased.

But if the imperial father wants to use your happiness to complete the world, the imperial father will never agree to it! "

"Father, mother, what is Zhangzhu's happiness in your eyes?" Zhangzhu said quietly: "Find someone who is devoted to Zhangzhu, and have a few pairs of children, under the protection of father, queen and mother.

In the future, under the protection of the emperor's brother, will he spend his whole life in the princess mansion? "

The queen said in a daze: "Isn't it always like this to be born as a woman? Don't you want to follow that man's example to fight enemies in the field, or enter and exit the court?"

"If possible, Zhangzhu would like to!" Zhangzhu said firmly: "But Zhangzhu understands, this is impossible!
This world will belong to the emperor's brother in the future, Zhangzhu doesn't want to embarrass his father now, and he doesn't want to embarrass his father in the future either!

But palm beads have the idea of ​​palm beads!During the previous trip to South Qin, Ziqi showed Zhang Zhu a different world of women!
You don't need to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, you don't need to go in and out of the court, you can still benefit the people of the world and share the worries of the father!

Zhangzhu still remembers what Ziqi said, she said: Whether the people do evil or do good depends on their stomachs, if they are full they are sheep, if they are hungry they are wolves.

The way to stop wars is not to use violence to control violence, but to develop the economy.

If the common people in this world can have enough to eat, who is willing to join the army and fight, who will come to stare at our Li country?
The same is true for the Western Qiang. It turned out that Zhang Zhu married in the past, and spread what Li Guo learned and the strengths of Li Guo in Xiqiang.

The people of Xiqiang are no longer hungry, will he still be willing to invade our Li country?
Father and mother, the contract can be broken at any time, and economic development is the most effective way to prevent war! "

His Majesty the Emperor looked at Zhang Zhu who talked so eloquently, and felt both proud and sad.

His palms have always been grand, and after less than half a year of training, he now has such an open mind and unique insights!
For feelings, you can also afford and let go!If he was born as a boy, he might be much better than Yuan'er!

His Majesty the Emperor couldn't help but sigh again when he thought of his son, who hadn't recovered from his emotional trauma.

The empress also looked at such a palm bead with some strangeness, since when did her daughter have the demeanor of a mother of the country?
Such a daughter, such a bearing, how can there be a man in this country of Li who can match her and suppress her?

If not, the result of the forced marriage will only make her depressed for the rest of her life.

As someone who has experienced it, the queen empress is very aware of the complex of being a hero and being conquered in her heart.

She believes in her palm beads, such proud palm beads, she would rather be short than abuse them!

So, is she willing to give up one thing and choose another?

Since there is no man in this world who can conquer her, let her conquer this world!

"Zhangzhu, have you thought it through clearly?" The queen stared at Zhangzhu's face similar to hers, and asked lightly.

Zhangzhu's beautiful phoenix eyes suddenly shot out a moving light, she nodded lightly, obviously so light, but as heavy as a mountain, pressing down on the hearts of His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress.

"Yes! Father and mother, Zhangzhu has already made up his mind. Zhangzhu wants to meet Naxi Liemo. If he agrees with Zhangzhu's idea and supports Zhangzhu's approach, Zhangzhu is willing to marry him!"

Xi Liemo, who was staying in the annex, seemed to know that Princess Zhangzhu would summon him when his marriage proposal to His Majesty was declined, so he stayed in the annex all day without going anywhere.

When the maid beside Zhang Zhu came over, she straightened her clothes and immediately followed her to the Princess Palace.

On the contrary, Zhang Zhu didn't expect him to come so fast, so he was caught off guard.

He hurriedly ordered people to hang a thick bead curtain in the reception hall.

Although it was a little impolite, Zhangzhu was afraid that once he saw his presumptuous eyes, he couldn't help but want to go back on his vows in front of his father, queen and queen.

"Your Majesty, this way please." The maid in front blushed slightly, not daring to look directly into his eyes, and only stretched out a pair of slender hands as a guiding motion.

It seems that the people around Princess Palm Pearl have been well trained!

Xi Liemo couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth when he thought of those beautiful and angry phoenix eyes looking at him.

"Princess, the king of Xiqiang has arrived!"

Xi Liemo thought he would meet Zhang Zhu, but he didn't expect it to be a thick bead curtain.

"You go down first." Zhang Zhu's cool and pleasant voice came from behind the bead curtain, "My lord, please forgive my princess for being rude! Please sit down!"

Xi Liemo smiled slightly, and sat on the chair specially prepared by Zhang Zhu for him without hesitation, facing the bead curtain.

The bead curtain is very thick, you can't see anything from the outside, and you can only see the faint figure from the inside.

Seeing that the blurred figure dwindled down, Zhang Zhu guessed that he should have already taken his seat, so he went straight to the topic, "I think the king already knows why the princess met the king?"

Xi Liemo picked up the teacup in front of him and lowered his eyes slightly, looked at his own reflection in the green tea, and then took a sip, "I don't know why the princess summoned the king?"

Is this knowingly asking?Zhangzhu choked, and suppressed the rising disgust, "I heard that the king asked his father to marry him."

"His Majesty refused!" Xi Liemo put down the teacup, not at all like a frustrated man whose marriage proposal was rejected, he leaned back slightly, as if he was at ease in his own palace.

Zhangzhu got stuck in one breath, what does this mean?It means that if the emperor refused, he gave up?
Then I invited him to meet, and wanted to make an agreement with him that if she married her, I would not tie her up in the palace, wouldn't that be presumptuous?

Zhang Zhu bit her lip, not knowing how to deal with it.

Just let him go?And a little unwilling, I finally made up my mind!

Unsolicited mention?Where is the face of Princess Li?
"Princess summoned me, do you want to tell me that there is still room for discussion about the marriage?" Xi Lie's magnetic voice sounded again, and Zhang Zhu faintly felt that there seemed to be a hint of a smile in that voice.

Zhangzhu took a deep breath and made up her mind, "If the king can agree to the conditions of the princess, the marriage, the princess can persuade the father to agree!"

"Conditions?" Xi Liemo chewed these two words in his mouth for a moment, and the corners of his mouth became playful, "Princess, it's okay to say, this king is all ears!"

Zhangzhu's voice was clear and firm: "After the marriage, I hope that the king will not trap this princess in the harem. This princess will not interfere in the government affairs. I only hope that I can contribute a little or two to the people of Xiqiang!"

"I don't want to be trapped in the harem, I don't want to meddle in government affairs, I just want to benefit the common people?" Xi Liemo had a faint smile in his eyes, "What is the princess going to do?"

Zhang Zhu said: "My princess is working with Ms. Ji of the Sorcerer's Association to jointly plan and promote the development of the firm. I believe that you are very clear about Ms. Ji's skills.

Although this princess is not as good as her, if she can learn a thing or two, I believe it will be of great benefit to the future of Xiqiang! "

"As a princess, the great wish in my heart can be realized in Li Country, so why go to Xiqiang?" Xi Liemo lowered his eyes slightly, and his eyes touched the teacup on the table, and the expression inside was unclear.

It is because of this that we can fight without bloodshed, and subdue others without fighting, in exchange for the well-being of our Li country for generations!
"The future of the Li country belongs to the emperor, and the folks of the Li country already have Miss Ji. This princess is not willing to compete with her, nor is she willing to be inferior to the two of them!"

Zhangzhu said lightly: "The land of Western Qiang is vast, the king governs the country well, and all industries are flourishing. This is exactly what this princess can do!"

"That's it..." Xi Liemo raised his eyes slowly, and there was an unspeakable emotion inside, like joy and pain, after saying these three words that seemed to be talking to himself, he fell into silence.

Zhang Zhu bit her lower lip and held her breath waiting for his reply, the hall was so quiet that she could hear her somewhat rapid breathing.

After a long time, the figure of the man outside the bead curtain stood up and walked towards the direction of the palm bead.

"If the princess can agree to this king's request, the king will agree to the princess' wish."

The voice was very close, as if it was in the ear, low and sweet, with a touch of charm.

Zhang Zhu only felt that her heart beat a little faster, and subconsciously asked: "What request?"

Then two fingers with well-articulated joints gently opened the bead curtain, and Xi Liemo's unparalleled handsome face appeared in front of Zhang Zhu in a magnified manner.

"You!" Zhang Zhu was startled first, then furious.

She didn't expect Xi Liemo to be so bold, he opened the bead curtain without permission, and his tightly pursed red lips were slightly parted, just about to call someone out.

But Xi Liemo smiled charmingly, her presumptuous dark eyes were tightly locked on her proud and beautiful face, "If the princess lets me meet, I will do what the princess wishes."

Zhang Zhu's voice of wanting to call someone was stuck in his throat, and he was trembling with anger.

Now that I don't show it, I have already seen it. If I call someone to pull him out, will I not be the one who suffers?

Zhang Zhu bit her lip, stared at him with sharp phoenix eyes, and said angrily, "Now that the king has seen it, please keep your promise!"

Then he tilted his head slightly and gave the order to evict the guest, "Your Majesty, please go out."

However, Xi Liemo kept the posture of picking up the curtain before, and said with a light smile: "I see it, but I haven't seen enough!"

Zhang Zhu was so angry that he trembled all over, and wanted to kill him.

Has anyone ever said such a rebellious thing in front of her?
"Your Majesty, please respect yourself!"

Xi Lie raised his eyebrows, "This king just wants to see more of his future queen, so why not respect yourself?"

Zhang Zhu gritted her teeth, "Your Majesty, Li Guo and Xi Qiang have not entered into a marriage contract yet, Your Majesty, please pay attention to your wording!"

"Didn't the princess promise herself just now? Could it be that this king misunderstood?" Xi Liemo's mouth was slightly raised, and the tone and expression that did not want to be beaten, even if he was beaten a hundred times, could not relieve Zhang Zhu's hatred.

She stared at him bitterly, and Xi Liemo looked at the angry accusations in her eyes like burning flames, which made her already beautiful face even more shockingly beautiful, and she couldn't help being a little crazy.

The naked and undisguised aggressive desire in those eyes made Zhang Zhu unable to bear it anymore, she called out sharply: "Come on!"

Xi Liemo thought with some pity, it seems that he is really angry!
Then withdrew his hand and lowered the bead curtain.

At the same time, a palace official came in, "Princess, what are your orders?"

"Seeing off the guests!" Zhang Zhu said bluntly.

After Xi Liemo left, Zhangzhu was still a little angry, thinking about his decision and that person's scoundrel, he almost wanted to give up.

Zhang Zhu closed his eyes and took two deep breaths!In the future, if you marry into the Western Qiang Palace, you should meet him less often.

I heard that there are already four big concubines, eight young concubines, and dozens of beauties in his palace. After this line up, at most one can see each other once a month, and Ren Ren passed away.

However, this Xi Liemo is older than the emperor's brother, and he accepted the concubine earlier. Two years after ascending to the throne, there is still nothing in the harem!
It seems that this person has some problems!Zhangzhu thought viciously.

Xi Liemo didn't know that Zhang Zhu was secretly cursing and doubting his ability in some aspects, his heart was already filled with joy from finally seeing the true face of Zhang Zhu.

It was exactly as he had imagined!Proud and beautiful, besides being Xi Liemo's queen, who else in this world can match her?
Palm Pearl was indeed born for him!

A charming smile appeared on the corner of Xi Liemo's mouth, and he couldn't help but wanted to share the news with the national teacher Xi Zhidong.

But he was stopped by Xi Zhidong's personal servant, "Your Majesty, the Master of the State Council said that he needs to rest, and no one should disturb him!"

A young servant dares to say such words and do such actions to the king of a country, isn't he tired of life?
Xi Liemo seemed to be used to it, he suppressed his smile, and frowned slightly, "Did Master Guoshi come out today?"

"No." The servant said respectfully.

"Did you ever be called in?"

"Never."

Xi Liemo's complexion changed drastically, "Go in and have a look!"

The servant hesitated a little, "My lord, tell me..."

Xi Liemo sternly said: "What are you going to tell me? Master Guoshi is so old, he hasn't gone out for a day, and he hasn't let anyone in. Why don't you let me get out and see what's going on?"

In the past, Xi Liemo had always been kind to the people around Xi Zhidong because of Xi Zhidong's relationship, why did he get so angry?
The boy was startled, and replied tremblingly: "Yes! Your Majesty!"

Then he hurriedly turned and opened the door.

However, he saw Master Guoshi lying flat on the bed, with the quilt covering his neck, his eyes closed, and he looked like he was sleeping peacefully.

The servant breathed a sigh of relief, "Your Majesty, the National Teacher is resting!"

Xi Liemo wished he could kick the boy away, so he gave him a hard look, and stepped into the room.

The boy shrank into a ball under his stare, and followed Xi Liemo in.

"My lord, my lord." Xi Liemo approached the bed, saw Xi Zhidong's eyes were closed tightly, his eyelids were covered with gray, and his whole face was dead white. Voice.

Xi Zhidong lying on the bed did not move.

Xi Liemo stretched out a finger, tremblingly placed it under Xi Zhidong's nose, then turned pale, and took two steps back.

It turned out that Xi Zhidong was not breathing.

Xizhidong's status in Xiqiang is second only to the great king Xiliemo, and the people who can follow him are smart and clever.

Because the boy worshiped Xi Zhidong too much before, he strictly carried out every word he said as a holy will.

So I didn't think of the inappropriateness in it for a while.

Now seeing Xi Liemo's movements and expressions, and looking at Xi Zhidong who had been sleeping on the bed all night, he knew that something was wrong, so he hurriedly knelt down.

Xi Liemo looked at Xi Zhidong on the bed, his complexion changed a few times, and finally he sighed, with a deep voice: "A Cong!"

"The subordinate is here!" One person entered in response.

Xi Liemo ordered in a deep voice: "Immediately fly a pigeon to pass the letter back to the country. The national teacher is dead, and the whole country will mourn for three days!"

A Cong was first frightened by the death of the national teacher, and then frightened by the three-day mourning by the whole country.

This national mourning, only the supreme person in the royal family, such as the king or queen or the prince or princess who is born in the royal family, can enjoy the highest courtesy.

After being in a daze for a while, A Cong saw Xi Liemo's cold eyes sweeping over, and quickly responded, "Yes! Master!"

The news of Xi Zhidong's death quickly reached the ears of Master Jiang Ji Ziqi and Du Feng.

Ji Ziqi had already learned about Xi Zhidong's life from Master Jiang, and felt a little pity in his heart after hearing the news.

After Du Feng received the news, he sneered in his heart and said: Good death!If you dare to send someone to assassinate Qiqi, it will be cheap for you to die like this!

-

The Xiqiang peace negotiation has passed, and according to Xi Liemo's plan, he will leave for the country after the Lantern Festival is over in the country of Li.

But this has nothing to do with Ji Ziqi and Zhang Zhu.

After negotiating with Xi Liemo yesterday, Zhangzhu calmed down and informed His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress about the result.

The empress still refused, but His Majesty the Emperor looked at his daughter, knowing that it was difficult for the Li Kingdom to trap her, so he silently nodded in agreement.

Originally, it was time to start discussing the marriage between the two countries today, but Xi Zhidong, the master of the Western Qiang Kingdom, passed away suddenly. It is not easy to discuss the marriage at this time, and the two sides decided to postpone the discussion for half a month.

All of this has no effect on Zhangzhu, it is a political marriage, and the Ritual Department of the Imperial Palace is dedicated to handle this matter.

She just needs to show up when and when she is needed.

The most important thing now is to complete this plan with Ji Ziqi.

However, Ji Ziqi disagreed with Xi Liemo's engagement with Zhangzhu, "Princess, why do you have to sacrifice your own happiness to protect the stability of the Li country?"

Zhangzhu smiled lightly, and that smile was a bit illusory, "Ziqi, I once told Xi Liemo that there is no place for me to develop in this country with the emperor and you.

Although these words are to lie to him, but there is also a bit of my sincerity in it.The word happiness may be too easy for an ordinary woman.

But as a princess, I have already understood that in this world, it is impossible to have the best of both worlds.

Since God has given me this character and this honor, it will always make me incomplete in some aspects. "

Zhang Zhu's eyes turned back to Ji Ziqi, "Ziqi, I not only admire you, envy you, but also envy you.

There are very few women in this world who can have both.I'm afraid that if I stay in Li country, if I don't get the happiness I want, one day I can't help but take away your happiness! "

He clearly said vicious words, but Ji Ziqi felt sad when he heard it, and said softly: "Princess, you won't!"

Zhang Zhu suddenly burst out into a big smile, a relieved smile, then sighed again, "In this world, I'm afraid you are the only one who understands me best. Since you understand me, why bother to persuade me?"

"Princess, it is because the daughter of the people understands you that I hope you will be happy. Don't sacrifice yourself for others!"

"I don't know when the happiness of being a woman will come, but the happiness of being a princess is already in sight.

I can't give up the opportunity to be happy as a princess for the happiness of a woman who doesn't know when to come! "

Zhangzhu said quietly: "Xilemo has agreed not to trap me in the harem, this is enough for me."

She turned her head and smiled at Ji Ziqi, "Ziqi, I've made up my mind, so you don't need to persuade me anymore. What you can help me now is to let me grow up quickly.

I am not young, and Xi Liemo is already in his twenties, once the details of the marriage are settled, it will be time to get married soon. "

Ji Ziqi suppressed the soreness in his heart, smiled lightly and said, "Yes, cousin."

The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.

While talking and laughing, there was a sudden commotion not far from the two of them.

The time agreed between Ji Ziqi and Zhang Zhu was a bit late, and there were not many people in the teahouse, so the commotion was particularly obvious.

A flamboyant petite woman in red was punching and kicking Du Le who was blocking her.

Because the other party is a woman, and Ayu, whom he likes, is nearby, Du Le can't fight back, so he has to keep dodging.

That petite woman was Ye Xiaojiao. Although the tall and thin man in front of her kept dodging, he kept blocking her from passing.

Getting angry, he grabbed his arm and wanted to bite him down.

Ayu stretched out the scabbard in his hand, and Ye Xiaojiao bit the scabbard with his open mouth, only to hear a click of teeth.

Du Le couldn't help crying out for her.

Ye Xiaojiao really grinned in pain, she covered her lips with one hand, her eyes were full of tears, and she stared fiercely at Ayu with her big eyes.

As a woman, Ayu didn't have the heart of a man to pity her, and she didn't care about Ye Xiaojiao's accusing eyes.

Ye Xiaojiao knew that she had kicked an iron plate, and secretly bit the two reckless guys over and over again.

Turning his eyes, he saw Ji Ziqi and Zhang Zhu's eyes were looking at this side, turned his eyes, and shouted:

"Ji Xiaoxue! This girl knows it's you! Why are you avoiding me?"

Ji Ziqi also recognized the petite woman, the woman who shouted "My name is Ye Xiaojiao" to Du Feng's back that day, and was shocked when she heard her words.

It is said that since she disguised herself as a man, except for people she knew, almost no one could recognize her as a woman at the first sight.

But this Ye Xiaojiao had only met her once, and she recognized her right away?
Ji Ziqi winked at Du Le, Du Le withdrew his arms and turned aside to make way.

Ye Xiaojiao raised her head slightly, snorted with her nostrils turned towards the sky, and walked over haughtily.

When passing by Du Le and A Yu, he gave them a hard look.

Ji Ziqi allowed Ye Xiaojiao to come in, but not the servants who followed her.

When those people saw Du Le and A Yu's aura, they knew that they were not opponents, so they could only obediently stand aside, looking at their young lady anxiously.

"Ji Xiaoxue! I made an appointment with you, why did you break the appointment?" Ye Xiaojiao walked up to the two of them, and said angrily to Ji Ziqi.

"Why do you conclude that I am Ji Xiaoxue?" Ji Ziqi wondered.

Ye Xiaojiao snorted, with a bit of pride, "I sent someone to guard outside Jiang's mansion for a few days, and I finally saw you going out this morning, so I quietly followed you.

Later, after I saw you enter an inn, you disappeared. "

Ye Xiaojiao looked her up and down, "You're really decent in pretending to be a man, but you even hid it from me, Ye Xiaojiao.

It's a pity that you changed your outfit, but the attendants around you haven't changed their outfits. If you want to stare at you, you can still recognize it. "

He laughed again and again, "Just now I cheated and called Ji Xiaoxue, and you automatically confessed."

What he said made both Ji Ziqi and Du Le feel ashamed.

Du Le thinks he is very skilled in kung fu, and knows all about stalking and anti-stalking, but he was taken advantage of by a little girl.

In fact, it's no wonder that Du Le is responsible for this matter. Du Le has always guarded against people who know kung fu, and the ones sent by Ye Xiaojiao are just ordinary servants in the family.

If you glance at Jiang's mansion more often, you will only be considered as curious about the people in Jiang's mansion.

After all, there lived Master Jiang, the Beidou master of spells, Ji Xiaoxue, the first first-class female artist in Li country who was famous all over the world, Ji Xiaoyu, a stunning beauty comparable to Zhangzhu, and someone who was said to have the magical ability of photographic memory. Ji Xiaofeng.

In the past few months, some curious common people outside Jiang's mansion have often come to spy on them, and everyone in the mansion is no stranger to it.

Therefore, the ordinary servant sent by Ye Xiaojiao was ignored.

What makes Ji Ziqi ashamed is that she thinks she is so good at cross-dressing that she can't be easily recognized by others, but she ignores that she is not alone, and there is Du Le.

If someone like Ye Xiaojiao was staring at her specifically, his feet would be exposed very quickly.

At this moment, Ji Ziqi was really grateful to Ye Xiaojiao.

Ye Xiaojiao was very dissatisfied with her distraction, "Ji Xiaoxue, I asked you out earlier, why didn't you go?"

"About me?" Ji Ziqi remembered the letter he received before leaving for the palace, he left in a hurry and forgot it for a while when he came back.

"Sorry, Ms. Ye, I was away from the house a few days ago, and I forgot about it when I came back. May I ask what Ms. Ye wants from me?"

"I want to challenge you!" Ye Xiaojiao raised her chin high.

"Challenge?" Ji Ziqi raised his eyebrows, "Why?"

"I have taken a fancy to your man, if I beat you, you will give him to me!"

Ye Xiaojiao said this with an expression, as if she had taken a fancy to a beautiful dress or a pearl hairpin, and wanted to be given in, without any twitching.

Ji Ziqi was stunned, Zhang Zhu was stunned, and Du Le beside him was also stunned.

Looking at her pursed mouth, Ji Ziqi couldn't help laughing and said, "I don't know how Miss Ye plans to challenge me?"

"How to challenge?" Ye Xiaojiao blinked and was also stunned.

The astonished Zhangzhu couldn't help laughing out loud. He thought it was a little tigress whose head could bite people, but it turned out to be a newborn cub who only opened its mouth to frighten people and didn't even have any teeth.

Hearing the laughter, Ye Xiaojiao became a little unhappy, and lifted her chin, "I don't care about this lady, anyway, I like your man.

If you don't let me, Miss Ben will snatch it.If you can't grab it, then you can serve your husband together. This lady is the big one and you are the youngest! "

Ji Ziqi was about to take a sip of tea to moisten his throat, when he heard this, he shook his hand and poured out the tea.

"Miss Ye, how old are you?" She asked with a suppressed smile.

"fifteen!"

"Well, I'm sixteen, and I'm older than you."

Ye Xiaojiao thought she was talking about the matter of serving a husband together, and she gritted her teeth, "Since you are older than me, then you should be the elder, and I should be the younger!"

This little girl is really cute!Ji Ziqi couldn't help laughing out loud, "Sister, come and listen to that call!"

"Sister!" Ye Xiaojiao thought she agreed, and called happily, "You agree?"

"Hey!" Ji Ziqi responded loudly, then smiled and said, "Agree? Agree to what?"

"Agreed that we will serve a husband together!"

"Sister Xiaojiao, I haven't married my sister yet, so it's up to my sister to decide whether to agree or not!" Ji Ziqi smiled, "I have to ask General Du about this!"

Ye Xiaojiao came to her senses and said angrily, "Ji Xiaoxue, are you kidding me?"

Ji Ziqi chuckled and said, "How could that be? Sister Xiaojiao, I'm older than you, so it's only fair for you to call me elder sister!"

"Really?" A male voice sounded sullenly.

Ji Ziqi's hand holding the teacup shook again, but when he looked up, he saw Du Feng not far away, staring at her fiercely with a sullen face.

Beside him is Xi Liemo, the great king of Xiqiang.

Zhang Zhu also followed the sound and looked over, just in time to bump into Xi Liemo's deep eyes, his heart tightened, and he turned his eyes away.

Looking at Du Feng's eyes, Ji Ziqi's scalp felt numb, and he hurriedly showed a flattering smile, and said softly, "Du Feng, when did you come?"

Zhang Zhu and the others beside him couldn't help but get goosebumps all over their bodies.

Not to mention that Ji Ziqi is now wearing men's clothes, even if she is wearing women's clothes, except for Du Feng, the group of people has only seen her calm and calm side. When did they ever hear her speak in such a delicate tone.

"When you were sisters just now." The voice was cold, without much emotion, and Du Feng deliberately bit down on the words "sisters love".

But Ji Ziqi's heart skipped a beat, this guy is angry!

She was about to explain, but Ye Xiaojiao cheered and ran to him, "General Du, I am Ye Xiaojiao, you saved me from the horse's hoof a few days ago, remember?"

"I don't remember!" a cold voice.

Ye Xiaojiao choked. Normally, even if she didn't remember, politely speaking, she would ask "I don't know which time Miss was referring to" or "So it was you, Miss" and so on.

How can you just say "don't remember" to block the conversation?

But who Ye Xiaojiao was, she was just a little taken aback, and immediately put on a hurt expression, and said coquettishly: "It was just a few days ago when we were welcoming the Xiqiang envoys, the little girl was accidentally squeezed out, startled the horse, and almost died Under the horseshoe.

If the general hadn't rescued her, the little girl would have been separated from her family forever.The scriptures all said: The grace of saving life should be promised with your body!My little girl is willing to serve you, General! "

The crowd opened their mouths wide open. This Ye Xiaojiao is too bold. In front of everyone, she directly expresses her willingness to serve others with her body?

Ye Xiaojiao's servant even covered his face in embarrassment: Miss, are you sure you know what waiting is?

"Miss Xie's kindness, this general is engaged, and my wife will take care of the rear house from now on." Du Feng flatly refused.

"Really?" Ye Xiaojiao said happily: "Just now, my sister has agreed!"

"Really?" Du Feng glanced at Ji Ziqi coldly.

"No! No!" Ji Ziqi was swept by his cold wind, and his back was covered in cold sweat. He hurriedly walked over and stood between the two of them, afraid that Ji Xiaojiao would say something surprising again.

Ye Xiaojiao got angry, "Ji Xiaoxue, do you really mean what you say?"

Ji Ziqi said with a chuckle: "Miss Ye, that, just now I saw that you are young, similar to my sister Xiaoyu, and cute, I really regard you as a younger sister, don't mean it! Don't misunderstand!"

"You, you two, bullied me together!" Ye Xiaojiao bit her lip, her eyes were red, and she was about to cry.

Seeing Ye Xiaojiao's expression of wanting to cry or not, Ji Ziqi felt a little soft-hearted. He turned his head and glanced at Du Feng, only to see that guy snorted softly at her, showing that he was very upset.

Ji Ziqi roared in his heart, she is the one who should be angry and cry the most, okay?

One attracted love by herself, and the other wanted to steal her man, she was the one who was wronged the most, why did it all turn out to be her fault in the end?
Although Ji Ziqi felt a little bit reluctant towards Ye Xiaojiao, it was obviously more important to coax his man back.

I ignored it immediately, and said to Zhang Zhu and Xi Liemo with folded hands: "Princess, Your Majesty, the daughter of the people will take my leave first."

As he said that, he took Du Feng's hand and ran outside.

Du Le wisely stopped Ye Xiaojiao who wanted to come out with her.

Du Feng was so angry that his teeth were itching, this little girl was actually behind her back, casually making out with a strange woman's sister and sister, what's the matter, trying to push him out?

Annoyed, he still let Ji Ziqi lead him out.

After walking out of the teahouse, there were many people on the street. Ji Ziqi was still wearing men's clothing, and the two big men were holding hands in broad daylight, attracting strange looks from many people.

After Ji Ziqi realized it, he wanted to let go of Du Feng's hand.

Unexpectedly, that fellow grabbed her hand even tighter and pulled her towards him.

Ji Ziqi couldn't break free, so he had to let him go, and whispered: "Du Feng, where is Chasing Feng? Let's ride away, shall we?"

"What's the matter? You don't want to be seen with me?" There was an unconcealable sourness in those words.

What is it?Ji Ziqi couldn't laugh or cry, "Du Feng, I'm pretending to be a man now!"

"So what?" Du Feng didn't care.

Ji Ziqi rolled his eyes, and simply smashed the jar: "Okay, anyway, she is wearing men's clothing now, no one will recognize it!"Even if he was criticized, it was for Du Feng!

With this thought, she simply reached into his arms to hold him, and pressed her whole body against his body.

As a result, the eyes of passers-by began to look at him with disgust without hesitation.

Ji Ziqi raised one hand to cover his face, turned a blind eye to those gazes, and thought mischievously in his heart: Xiao Mian, let's see how long you can bear it!

After a while, Du Feng really couldn't stand it any longer, he put his hand to his lips and blew a whistle, and Zhui Feng immediately ran over.

He hugged Ji Ziqi's waist so tightly that she found it difficult to breathe.

Then jumped on the horse and ran towards the Ji Mansion.

The man behind him was stiff, as if he was still angry.

Ji Ziqi clenched his lower lip, thinking about how to coax him later, at most, um, just help him with that.

Thinking about it, his face became hot.

In a daze, the two had arrived at Ji's mansion, and Ji Ziqi was dragged into the room by Du Feng.

This time, Du Feng was not the same as usual, when the two were alone, he always couldn't wait to hold her in his arms, lingering desperately.

Instead, he took a few steps back and squinted his eyes to scan Ji Ziqi up and down, which made her feel terrified.

After a long time, Du Feng's cold and dangerous voice sounded: "Are you aware of your mistake?"

Ji Ziqi hurriedly nodded, bit his lower lip and said pitifully, "I know I was wrong!"

That quick nodding made Du Feng almost want to laugh, and he forced his face to say: "What's wrong?"

Ji Ziqi said loudly: "If anyone wants to be a sister with me in the future, I must reject it sternly: Du Feng is Ji Ziqi's husband-in-law alone, and no one is allowed to snatch it!"

Du Feng was very satisfied in his heart, but he still pretended to be serious on his face, "Since I know I was wrong, I am willing to accept punishment!"

"Yes, yes!" Ji Ziqi blinked and said softly, "Sir, I was wrong!"

"Okay! Just accept it!" Du Feng raised his eyebrows, "My husband is going to take a bath, go fetch water! It should be warmer!"

Shower in broad daylight now?Then ask her to fetch water?Ji Ziqi pointed to his nose.

Seeing the change in his eyes, he hurriedly said, "Then I'm going to fetch water!"

Fortunately, it is winter now, and there is always hot water in the kitchen, so Ji Ziqi doesn't need to boil the water.

When she was carrying the wooden bucket and struggling to carry it into the room, Ah Tian in the kitchen couldn't bear it anymore, "Young Madam, let me help you!"

"No, no, no!" Ji Ziqi hurriedly waved his hands, "Ah Tian, ​​you are busy with your work, if I need your help, I will call you again."

That guy was obviously angry and wanted to torture her, if she dared to ask Ah Tian to help, maybe he would be even more angry!
A cheapskate, a petite, a jerk, a bad person...

Ji Ziqi, who hadn't done any labor for a long time, was so exhausted that he was out of breath and weak after carrying two buckets of water.

Finally filled up the water, but saw the fellow stretch out his hand to feel the water temperature, and said with a little disgust: "It's colder! Let's do it this time!"

That's it this time, right?What's the meaning?Do you still plan to have a next time?

Ji Ziqi couldn't help getting angry, and was about to ask questions, but saw that Du Feng had already taken off his outer shirt, and soon only his inner shirt was left.

She froze: "What are you doing?"

"Bath!" Du Feng said slowly, then squinted at her, and said with an inexplicable expression: "It's not like I haven't seen it before!"

When did she meet?Ji Ziqi wanted to be angry, and suddenly felt that the scene in front of him was somewhat familiar.

Instead, he remembered that when he first came to the Tianliang Army and was forced to work as a servant in his tent, his first job was to fetch water for him to take a bath, and then help him wipe his back.

Ji Ziqi suddenly opened his mouth, this guy, it can't be because she is wearing men's clothes today, thinking about the old things repeating itself?
Just as she was thinking, Du Feng had already taken off only a pair of underwear.

The naked upper body has clear lines, with undulating muscles, and you can see the strong eight-pack abs, and the corner of the mermaid line extending down, mixing wild strength and beauty.

Ji Ziqi saw that his mouth was dry, and he couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He wanted to look away but couldn't bear to look away.

Du Feng stepped into the bathtub and hooked his fingers at her, "Come here, wipe your husband's back for you!"

This guy really hit the idea!Ji Ziqi had never seen Du Feng's body in the daytime, and she was a little bit reluctant to take it off now, and wanted to take a second look.

He was not hypocritical at the moment, and walked over cheerfully.

Rolling up his sleeves, he took a bath towel beside him, wet it with water, and began to wipe his arm.

After a closer look, he found that there were many fine and small scars on his body, which must be souvenirs left on the battlefield.

"Well, work harder!" Du Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, and hummed softly from his nasal cavity.

It is low and heavy, and it is extremely ecstasy.

Ji Ziqi's whole body went numb, and he couldn't help muttering: Do you want to be so lewd?

She had just carried a few buckets of water, and her whole body was already hot. Now that she exerted all her strength to feed her milk, coupled with the hot air, she soon had a thin layer of sweat on her face.

Not to mention the unbearable heat, it was still somewhat difficult to breathe.

 Regarding the heroine’s math problem, I can only find the process of solving the problem with three numbers on Baidu. Da Da calculated it according to that method for a long time, but I couldn’t figure it out. I wanted to give up, but suddenly one day Da Da thought of the problem I can’t help but write it up and share it with everyone, haha~
