I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 124 The Chibi Who Died Too Suddenly
The season of warm spring and flowers has arrived.

Zhi Xiao, who stayed in "Cheng" last year, met Hu Liao.

As one of Zhiyao's close retainers, he went to "Cheng" to invite Zhixiao back to "Xintian", which really made Zhixiao a little bit suspicious.

Zhixiao never liked Zhiyao since she was a child. At first, Zhishen’s doting was all on Zhiyao, which made Zhixiao very hostile to Zhiyao’s younger brother; later, as Zhixiao grew up, she understood Zhishen’s love for Zhiyao What will you lose.

During the growth of the two brothers, it was obvious that Zhixiao was the elder, but he kept up with all kinds of defeats against his younger brother Zhiyao in various struggles. the owner of the house.

For Zhi Xiao, becoming the head of the Cheng family is really a very inexplicable thing, if there is anything unconvinced, it is rare.

What's the reason why Zhixiao didn't have much resentment?It's all because Zhixiao is much older than Zhiyao, but Zhiyao is 13...or [-] years old?Anyway, Zhiyao, who was not very young, led the army to defeat the coalition forces of the princes twice. Just because he won the battle against the princes, Zhixiao felt that he could not do it.

Later?Zhixiao heard that Zhiyao led a lone army into the state of Qi, went deep into the hinterland of the state of Qi to capture "Linzi" and robbed the ritual vessels of the Jiang family, and knew even more how big the gap between the two brothers was.

There are too many reasons why Zhi Xiaosheng can't afford to compete with Zhi Yao for the position of Patriarch, such as the various convenient tools that are slowly being used in Zhi's interior, they are all made by Zhi Yao.

Can the family be strengthened by various new tools inside, and can the commander defeat the princes again and again?Excluding the advantages brought by the eldest son, Zhixiao really felt that he was not as good as Zhiyao, and the only trace of resentment in his heart was related to his status as the eldest son, not that he was unconvinced by the defeat.

As for whether Zhixiao will feel worried about his own safety?Before becoming the lord of the Cheng family, he was more or less worried, but after becoming the lord of the Cheng family, he had no fear at all.

It was not popular in the Spring and Autumn Period to get bloody for the position of Patriarch. Whoever can get Patriarch's approval has gone through the hurdle of core clan members and important retainers. The winner enjoys everything, and the loser accepts fate. In fact, this is such a process.

Zhixiao's worries before he became the lord of the Cheng family were mainly due to the fact that in the late Spring and Autumn Period, the family's internal competition had gradually begun to become so bloody.And his becoming the lord of the Cheng family means that the competition for the position of the son is over.

"Ducheng..., I'm back!" The moment Zhixiao entered the city gate, his feelings were completely different from before.

He didn't know why Zhiyao summoned him, because the news that Zhibi was seriously ill was completely blocked from him.

And it was not Zhiyao who blocked Zhixiao from Zhibi's serious illness!

Zhibi himself did not send anyone to inform him.

Zhishen didn't want any accidents when Zhiyao became the heir, and personally ordered those who knew the news not to say a word to Zhixiao.

Although the current Cheng family is also called Cheng family, it is not the Xiaozong branched out by the Xun family at that time, but a new branch branched out by the Zhi family.

Most of the members of the Cheng family separated from the Zhi family were transferred from the Zhi family, and a small number of members were reabsorbed from the previous Cheng family to form a brand new Cheng family.

In the newly born Cheng family, a series of core members still follow Zhi's instructions, and Cheng Shuo, Zhi Yao's diehard loyalist, has the right to speak in Cheng's family, causing Zhi Xiao, who is clearly the leader of the Cheng family, to not know that Zhi Bi is seriously ill It seemed very reasonable.

Zhi Xiao is already the master of the Cheng family, right?It is no longer appropriate to call Zhi Xiao in the future, the prefix should be changed, and it should be called Cheng Xiao, or it can also be called Xun Xiao because the Zhongxing clan merged with the Zhi clan again.

In the same way, Zhibi, Zhishen, Zhiyao... and other branches of the Zhi family or the Xun family can also pick up the prefix "Xun" and use it again without any psychological burden or awkwardness.

"Seeing that 'Xintian' is much more depressed than before?" Cheng Xiao has only been away from 'Xintian' for a few years. I don't know if it's because of a different mentality or because 'Xintian' has really changed too much. The sense of coming again is completely different.

As a matter of fact, the Jin State experienced civil strife, the Fan family and the Zhongxing family were expelled, and many small and medium families also perished in the civil war. How could it be possible to prevent the capital of a country from changing?

It's just that "Xintian" has no people from the Fan family and the Zhongxing family, and the permanent population will be reduced by 3000 to 2 people. For a city with a permanent population of only more than 3000 people, the loss of [-] to [-] people is equivalent to less people. It's more than one-tenth.

A city has lost one-tenth of its resident population in a very short period of time. How can it not look depressed?

Cheng Xiao has come to the door that can be "seen" in many midnight dreams. For a while, it is hard to say what mood he is in, and his eyes begin to become moist.

"Master?" Cheng Hui looked at Cheng Xiao who was in a daze and asked for instructions.

Don't go out?Cheng Xiao is Zhishen's son by blood relationship, but Zhi's family is no longer Cheng Xiao's family.

Under such circumstances, even if Cheng and Zhi were still one family in a broad sense, they became two families in a fundamental sense, and many things must have different meanings.Demonstrating in a more obvious way, Cheng Xiao can't do things without warning anyway.

The reason why it is said that it is a family is not the case. The difference is that the master has the right to intervene in the Xiaozong, but the Xiaozong needs to obey the master, and the Xiaozong does not want to end up one day not to interfere with the affairs of the master. Just follow the directions.

There is already a "concierge" in the current era, and the gatekeepers have discovered Cheng Xiao and others early on, but they don't know why they didn't respond.

Cheng Xiao knew the current rules. After he became the lord of the Cheng family, he came to the house where the speaker of the lord lived for the first time. He should take the initiative to invite the door, not to be entertained as soon as a person shows his face.

So, Cheng Xiao got out of the car obediently, tidied up his clothes, walked up the steps to the open gate, and bowed respectfully to the expo road who got the news, and said, "Please report to the Lord, Cheng Xiao." Please see you."

Expo Road avoided Cheng Xiao's salute, and then saluted not in return, and said respectfully: "The Lord knows, Mrs. Cheng, please come in."

Take a look at the whole process.

Look at the titles in the conversation.

Modern people seem to think that it is simply troublesome, and it is a bit unnecessary.

However, from the perspective of the people of the Spring and Autumn Period, what Cheng Xiao followed was the formal process, and not doing so would be breaking the rules, and it would not be surprising that Cheng would disappear again later.

Stepping into the once extremely familiar house again, Cheng Xiao felt absolutely strange psychologically.This psychological reaction is very realistic, and to some extent it also shows that he has accepted his current identity.

"Xiao?" Fuguo didn't know where he was going, so he ran into Cheng Xiao who was leading by Expo Road on the way, and said hello.

Cheng Xiao pretended not to see the auxiliary fruit.

Even when Fuguo said hello, Bo Bodao's eyes became sharper in an instant.

"This..." Fuguo made an embarrassing expression, just uttered a word, and saluted Expo Road with a panicked gesture.

What are you doing, this is?
In fact, Cheng Xiao was going through the process of meeting the master of the small sect, and the appearance of the auxiliary fruit and greeting Cheng Xiao was regarded as intrusion.

Bo Bodao stared at Fuguo with sharp eyes, thinking: "Did he do it on purpose or not?"

If Fuguo did this on purpose, it means that there will still be twists and turns when Zhiyao becomes the crown prince, and civil strife is very likely to break out in the Zhi family.

Unintentional?That's even worse. It can be regarded as a supplementary fruit or more support for Cheng Xiao to take over Zhi's.

Expo Road will definitely inform Zhili of what happened, and will also inform Zhiyao.

How Zhili will deal with Fuguo in the future, or how Zhiyao will rectify Fushi, is entirely the follow-up that Fuguo's actions just brought should have.

Fuguo, who came to his senses a little bit, his forehead was covered with sweat in a moment, and the clothes behind his back were also completely wet. He looked at Expo Road with a begging expression, and the meaning was very obvious.

Seeing Fuguo's begging, Bo Bodao hesitated for a while, and only hesitated for a while, then led Cheng Xiao to continue walking.

"What do you mean? I really said hello subconsciously, there is no other intention!" Fu Guo wanted to die at this moment.

To be reasonable, Zhiyao has already behaved like that, and the performance has brought results. How bad must his brain be to make Fuguo think that the core members and important retainers of the Zhi clan will not be optimistic about Zhiyao?
just right?Because of Fuguo's actions just now, and because Expo Road didn't give a clear response to the pleading, a great shadow was cast in his heart, so that he stood still and performed a face-changing performance.

the other side……

Expo Road led Cheng Xiao to the door of the room where Zhibi and Zhishen were.

"Lord." Bo Bo went in by himself, saw Zhishen who was reading a book, and also saw Zhibi who was lying down as if sleeping.

It is difficult for the elderly to fall asleep at night, and drowsiness during the day is a very normal thing.

Zhishen, who has been with his old father all the time, actually doesn't chat much with Zhibi at ordinary times. Most of the time, he reads his own books, and only speaks to each other after a long time.

Paper was "invented" by Zhiyao, and even printing has appeared.Many years have passed since their appearance this year, and it is hard for the Zhi family not to have a large number of books to read, but most of the books are the works of their ancestors.

Zhishen already knew that Cheng Xiao was coming back, so he put down his book and glanced at Zhi Xiao who was waiting outside the door, stood up and walked to the edge of the recliner.

"My lord?" Zhishen called out softly a few times at first, wondering how he could wake up his father with just one call at ordinary times, but he still didn't wake up after calling several times today.

Bo Bodao was just curious at first, but his face gradually became stiff when he found something.

While Zhishen called out, he reached out to pat Zhibi's palm. When the limbs touched, he felt a kind of coldness.

"grown ups!?"

Zhishen first felt that Zhibi's hands were so cold, and when he realized something, he trembled all over.

Standing outside the door, Cheng Xiao heard a sudden shout. Because he didn't know that Zhibi had been seriously ill before, he was a little puzzled for a while when he heard the obvious sadness in the shout.

Zhibi, who was lying on the recliner, had the same complexion as if he was asleep, but he could no longer see the ups and downs of his stomach due to breathing...
