Chapter 235

"Lord Zuo Dun, please get up quickly!" Qin Zhijian got up to support him, but Zuo Dun didn't want to get up.

"Isn't Mr. Zuo Dun doing something like this?" Nan Haojiang raised his brows and said, "Your country's drought is indeed worthy of sympathy, but it is absolutely not for this reason to attack our Great Qin. There is an agreement between the two countries. If your country's The king sent a letter of credence to the emperor of Daqin, the emperor will definitely help, but now things have come to this point, your country has attacked more than a dozen cities of Daqin, burned, killed and looted. We don’t have statistics yet. How can the country come to ask for our aid again?"

Zuo Dun originally put down his old face to beg Qin Zhijian, but after hearing Nan Haojiang's words, his face turned red as if it was about to burn, and he was embarrassed to kneel on the ground again, after all, he was also a man with backbone, with an embarrassed face Standing up, he cupped his hands and said: "My lord is right, Zuo Dun made things difficult for others, if the king hadn't asked Zuo Dun to bring these words to him, Zuo Dun would not have been able to say these words even if he gave up his old face. Yes, please forgive me, my lord!"

"Master Zuo Dun doesn't need to say that, I still understand your character!" Qin Zhijian said flatly, "It's just a matter of assistance... Forgive me for not agreeing!"

Zuo Dun had no choice but to talk to Qin Zhijian because he didn't ask for help. He was worried that he wouldn't be able to explain to Duhu Quan again when he went back. On the way to the capital.

When Qin Zhijian entered Fancheng, he brought 2 elite soldiers with him. Naturally, he could not bring so many people with him to the capital of the Xiongnu. He left [-] elite soldiers in Fancheng, and only brought [-] elite soldiers with him. and some chauffeurs.

It would take five days to travel from Fancheng to the capital of the Xiongnu. On the second day, Jin Liu learned from Nan Haojiang that Zuo Dun had asked Qin Zhijian to help the Xiongnu.

"My lord really doesn't intend to agree to the Xiongnu's request? It's such a horrible thing to exchange sons for food!" Jin Liu felt horrified when he thought of these four words, and he couldn't help stretching out his hand to press his abdomen.

Qin Zhijian glanced at Jinliu's hand on his stomach, then cast a cold glance at Nanhaojiang who was eating the famous Xiongnu soufflé, the candy in Qin Zhijian's mouth almost stuck in his throat, coughing hurriedly Coughing the sugar out of her throat a few times and taking a sip of tea, she said, "It's not what I want to say, it's those Xiongnu people who came forward to beg for food. Liu'er saw their rags and asked I just said it when I got up."

"Those people have changed their sons to eat?" Qin Zhijian said coldly, his eyes were cold, although he knew very well in his heart that they were the team sent by Daqin to welcome the relatives, and without Zuo Dun's signal, those hungry Xiongnu people would not be able to get close to them Zuo Dun wanted them to see the miserable situation of the Xiongnu people with their own eyes, so that they would feel pity for them, so they agreed to help the Xiongnu people, so he let the Hun people who were begging for food close to their carriages. He did not blame Zuo Dun , even after Zuo Dun learned that the future Zhenbei Princess was pregnant, he let the children of the Huns approach the carriage to beg for food. How can a fool talk to Jin Liu about changing children and eating, Jin Liu has eaten very little now, is he trying to make his wife and children hungry?
"Uh..." Nan Haojiang hesitated for a moment. Qin Zhijian's appearance made him feel that he was a heinous person. He got up and took a step back slowly, looking at Jin Liu!

Jin Liu grabbed Qin Zhijian's hand when he received Nan Haojiang's call for help, "The lord doesn't care who told me this, I really feel sorry for those children, the lord really doesn't intend to help the people of the Huns ?Although it was wrong for the Xiongnu to tear up the treaty and attack us, the people were not wrong. They only had a little food, but they were taken away by the court in the name of expropriating military rations. After all, those people are the most pitiful what!"

In fact, even if Nanhaojiang didn't say anything, Jinliu also got some information from some children begging for food. The scene described by those children in a calm tone shocked her. She couldn't believe that the people of the Xiongnu would live such a life. The fiery days are like purgatory on earth. If possible, she hopes that Qin Zhijian can help a group of these common people, as a way of accumulating virtue for the child in her belly.

Seeing Jin Liu's agitation, Qin Zhijian was afraid that she would hurt her body, so he reached out and went around her back and patted her gently on the back and said, "I know you pity those children, but it's not up to me whether to help the Xiongnu or not." , even if it’s really what I said, I can’t agree to them so easily, if something is too easy to get, it will make people feel that getting it is a matter of course, and it will also make people push their feet, do you understand what I mean?”

Jin Liu's eyes lit up, "My lord means..."

It's too late, let's add so much first, and don't make up today's tomorrow!I'm exhausted today, smelling like cigarettes all over my head and face, hurry up to help Zai Zai take a bath, and take a bath myself, good night dears! "Hush..." Qin Zhijian raised a finger to his lips, shook his head with a smile, and looked out of the window. Although he believed in Zuo Dun's character, among the people who came to pick them up were Zuo Dun and others. He didn't believe in other people. Even if he didn't really watch the Xiongnu people starve to death, he wouldn't let Duhu Quanci and Ke Muzhu go so easily.

Jin Liu understood Qin Zhijian's meaning when he looked out of the window, raised his brows slightly, and disapproved of the people sent by Duhu Quanci, since he was asking for something, he had to be sincere, so What does it look like to be sneaky?
Nan Haojiang had already noticed that there were people eavesdropping outside. He wanted to wait and see what happened, but he didn't expect that they came for this matter. The corner of his mouth moved to the window, and he pushed hard, and one of them was hit by the open window sash. When he reached the ground, he yelled "Oops". ,

"Hey, isn't this Master Zakun who came with Master Zuo Dun? I'm really sorry, I didn't know you were outside, if I knew, I wouldn't have accidentally hit you, but why doesn't Your Excellency sleep in the middle of the night? Under the window, could it be... eavesdropping on our conversation!" Nan Haojiang's eyes showed a stern look after he finished speaking.

Zhakun is a civil servant, how could he withstand such a bump from Nanhaojiang, even hitting his head, stared at him for a long time, unable to stand up, sitting on the ground, covering his head and groaning, hearing what Nanhaojiang said, he hurriedly explained : "Stealing... Overhearing? How is it possible! Because of the moonlight tonight, I went out for a walk, and who knows, I walked under King Zhenbei's window without knowing it."

"Moonlight?" Nan Haojiang glanced at the cloud-covered sky, not to mention seeing the moon at night, even if he couldn't see the sun during the day, the corner of his mouth twitched, it seemed that Zakun was even more unreliable than him, here Bad reasons are also made up for the exit. "Does Master Zhakun want to enjoy the moonlight here again? I might as well come out and enjoy it with you!" Nan Haojiang said and jumped out of the window.

Zha Kun regretted it when he said that he admired the moonlight. Seeing that Nan Haojiang was about to come out, he remembered that he had almost killed himself by grabbing it just now. When he came out, he didn't know what to do to him. Getting up from the ground, he said, "No, no, it's getting late, and we have to get up early tomorrow morning to set off, so Zha Kun won't be here to disturb the prince's rest. Farewell! Farewell!"

"Hey, Lord Zhakun, don't go, we haven't enjoyed the moonlight together yet!" Nan Haojiang deliberately raised his voice and shouted, seeing Zhakun running faster, he couldn't help but burst out laughing. The two people in the room also laughed.

Hearing the laughter behind him, Zha Kun's scalp became numb, and he ran forward recklessly all the way, just about to go back to his room, but bumped into someone accidentally, when he raised his head and was about to scold him, Zuo Dun's face turned blue Looking at himself, Zuo Dun was startled, he really didn't know what to say, but Zuo Dun shook his hands and walked to his room.

"Come in!" Zuo Dun stood in the room, looked at Zakun who was standing at the door, and shouted. After he came in, he gritted his teeth and asked, "What do you think you did!"

"Isn't the lower official also wanting to find out what King Zhenbei has said, and see if he can agree to help us?" Zha Kun's face became ugly after being drunk by Zuo Dun, and his head was still aching, which made his The corners of his eyes twitched, "Did your lord forget what the king told you when we came out?"

"How could I forget! Even if I forget, so many hungry people along the way are reminding me all the time! But even if I remember, I won't be as stupid as you to eavesdrop under someone's window!" Zuo Dun pointed Cursed Zakun's nose.

When Zakun remembered what happened before, his face turned red, his lips were tightly pursed, the flesh on both sides of his cheeks bulged, and his brows moved. Those children who are about to die of starvation have been following us by the carriage for two days, except for those things that the King of Zhenbei came out to feed the children, how can they show any intention of helping us?"

"That's our Huns' own fault!"

"It is Ke Muzhu who is going to attack Daqin, not us. How can your lord take all the responsibility on yourself! At that time, the officials and your lord tried their best to dissuade the king. It was the king who disagreed with us. Now it's okay, but you want to It's really unreasonable for us to clean up this mess!" Zakun flicked his sleeves angrily, not caring that Zuo Dun was still standing in front of him, and sat down on the chair next to him, panting heavily. "This is a different position. If the next official is King Zhenbei, he will definitely not agree to help! Anyway, this task will not be completed, and adults should not let those children follow the convoy tomorrow. Go back to the business earlier and finish the job sooner. never mind!"

"You! You!" Zuo Dun looked at Zha Kun with trembling fingers. They were officials in the same period. Although the official positions are different now, the relationship is as good as before. He will not scold Zakun angrily.

"Hmph!" Zha Kun tilted his head and snorted heavily, not knowing whether he was angry with himself or Zuo Dun.

Zuo Dun looked at Zakun for a while and sat down next to him. After thinking about it, he said, "You are just too impulsive. Haven't you seen the way Princess Zhenbei looks at those children these days? Especially since she is pregnant now." Even a pregnant mare will go over to get close to other ponies when she sees them, not to mention people, Princess Zhenbei can watch those children starve and suffer from cold? It is said that she is held in the palm of Zhenbei King My favorite, if she opens her mouth, King Zhenbei will have to think about it even if he has a heart of stone, let alone he is not a person with a heart of stone!"

"Then why didn't he agree to the aid?" Zakun looked at Zuo Dun suspiciously.

"You said you were in a hurry and you didn't admit it. You've only left for two days now, and you'll be in the capital in three days. Why are you in a hurry?" Zuo Dun glanced at Zha Kun. In fact, before Qin Zhijian agreed, everything belonged to him. Guessing, he was not sure whether Qin Zhijian would agree to the aid, and if Qin Zhijian did not let go in the end, he had no choice but to go to Duhu Quanci to receive the punishment.

Zha Kun naturally could see Zuo Dun's uncertainty. Before, he thought that he and Qin Zhijian had a good relationship, and he didn't follow the relationship to persuade Qin Zhijian. Seeing him like this now, he remembered that the two of them were sitting on the same boat now. If you can't do anything, you will be blamed by Du Hu Quanci when you go back, and this is all caused by Ke Muzhu, so he was so angry that he gritted his teeth and cursed: "It's all damn Ke Muzhu, if it wasn't for him What a great achievement, I want to seek revenge from the King of Zhenbei, but I will not get to this point! The king is also, he listened to the slander, and even abandoned the life and death of the people. Now there is a lot of complaints, but he thinks of us, if it is not forced to be helpless , How could the lower official do the eavesdropping thing, if it gets out, the lower official will have no place to put his face!"
