Seeing He Zexu's expression at this time, Wei Zijun was also in a very bad mood. He asked himself in his heart, what was he doing? Why did he stab him in the heart?
"Your Majesty, our madam said that the matter about the three cities of Xuzhou cannot be solved with just a few words. Let's stop here today. Your Majesty, we will think about it when we go back, and our madam will think about it too. We can continue the discussion at another time.
Right." Xiao An picked up another piece of paper and read.
He Zexu stood up: "Okay, then I will go back first."
Wei Zijun stared at Xiao An and frowned slightly, but saw him put the paper in his hand on the table and walked towards He Zexu: "Madam, let me send the prince to you."
Watching them walk out of the hall, Wei Zijun's eyes fell on the piece of paper Xiao An put down last. It was clean, without a single word or stroke.
This kid really feels sorry for his father! Wei Zijun sighed helplessly, got up and walked out.
Outside the hall, Xiao An followed He Zexu, thinking about what to say, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.
At this time, the sound of a hen laying eggs suddenly came from the direction of the courtyard door.
For He Zexu, the sound that is most often heard in ordinary people's homes seems to have a special magic power, making him involuntarily follow the sound in the direction of the courtyard gate.
Xiao An was startled, then hesitantly followed.
Several of He Zexu's subordinates were even more puzzled. What did the master mean by this? He has a very good memory, there is no way he could not remember the way out!
When Xiao An, Zhuo Yan and others followed and saw the scene in front of them, everyone was shocked.
The dignified King Ji of Anyu Kingdom was standing in front of the chicken coop. He first looked around the chicken coop, then closed his eyes, reached out and picked up a corner of his robe, and then leaned over and reached into the chicken coop.
, pick up eggs.
Then, he gently put the egg in his hand into the corner of the robe he was carrying.
Zhuo Yan's head was pounding, and he suddenly remembered that one day thirteen years ago, he had seen this scene before him.
This is how the master collected eggs in the simple farmyard of Broken Soul Valley.
It turned out that the sound of the chicken laying eggs just now evoked memories deep in the master's memory.
Several other companions who were traveling with him had never been to Soul Broken Valley and were not present at that time. Therefore, they only thought that their master's behavior was strange.
On the other side of the chicken coop, a handyman was carrying a small bamboo basket. He looked at the scene in front of him with confusion. He was relieved when he saw that General An was also there.
The chicken in the chicken coop has stopped clucking and pecks at the corn kernels in the bamboo tube.
The only sound heard at the scene was the sound of chickens pecking, and no one spoke a word.
"Sanniang, this one has six eggs." He Zexu turned around and murmured, suddenly opened his eyes, and was startled when he saw clearly what was in front of him, and then looked down at the eggs in the corner of his robe.
After calming down, he raised his head and walked to the boy, picked up the six eggs from the corner of his robe and put them into the basket in the boy's hand.
Then, he figured out the direction and walked towards the courtyard gate.
Xiao An didn't know the details of his father and mother's life together, and he didn't hear clearly what his father was mumbling earlier. Anyway, he saw the embarrassed expressions on the faces of several of his father's men, so he didn't feel embarrassed to ask.
Anyway, I feel that my father is in a very bad mood right now, as if he is very sad and sad.
After watching General An and a few strangers leave, the boy looked down at the eggs in the basket and muttered to himself in confusion: "If you really want to take it, just take it. Madam won't do it for the sake of it."
What are you doing with these eggs, do you need to be so sad?" After saying that, he carried the basket and walked towards the kitchen.
Under a tree not far from the chicken coop, Wei Zijun covered his heart with one hand and covered his mouth with a handkerchief with the other hand, sobbing uncontrollably.
She came out of the hall and saw He Zexu and others turning this way. Out of curiosity, she followed him from the other side to take a look. She thought it was Xiao An who invited He Zexu to hang out in the government office.
But she didn't expect to see such a heart-wrenching scene.
From this distance, she didn't hear what he said when he turned around in front of the chicken coop, but she knew what he said from the shape of his mouth.
Because at home in Broken Soul Valley, every time he went to pick up eggs, he would tell her how many eggs there were.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?"
"Mom, don't scare me." Xiao Le and Ruyi, who had just peeked at their father from the hall, came over. Seeing their mother so sad, they were so nervous that they almost cried.
"Mom, don't worry, there will definitely be the best solution." Xiao Le quickly comforted her.
At this time, Wei Zijun's heart ached and he couldn't say anything, so he let his two children help him back to the room.
"It's fine for my mother. I want to be alone for a while, so you can go out first." After arriving in the room, Wei Zijun kicked the two children out.
Although Xiaole and Ruyi were worried, they did not dare to go against their mother's wishes. They hurried out and closed the door. The brother and sister sat on the steps at the door, listening to their mother's suppressed cries inside the house.
Wei Zijun also wanted to restrain himself, but he couldn't do it. When he saw him on the street before noon, even though he didn't recognize him, he felt very uncomfortable.
But that kind of discomfort was completely different from the feeling just now. Watching him bend down in front of the chicken coop to pick up eggs, and turn around and call Sanniang with his eyes closed. The sad scene on his face when he left was like a sharp knife.
The ax split open the barrier that had been wrapped around her heart all these years.
Over the past ten years, she is not the only one who has not forgotten those memories of Soul-Desolating Valley.
Outside the government office, Xiao An watched his father and his entourage walk away. He quickly turned around and ran to find his mother. He wanted to persuade his mother not to be so aggressive when he meets his father next time. He is really pitiful.
Dad has already done a very good job. Otherwise, he could just lead the troops to recapture the three cities of Xuzhou by force. There would be no need to go to such trouble.
On the street, He Zexu, who was silent all the way, went straight back to the inn. After falling on the bed, he closed his eyes and thought about what happened to him in the backyard of the government office just now, and why he did such an abnormal behavior.
The clattering sound of chickens laying eggs was the trigger. The most important thing was that the height, shape, and size of the chicken coop was the same as the chicken coop in the Broken Soul Valley home.
The materials are all made of bamboo, and even the bamboo tubes that hold the chicken food are the same size.
Although he couldn't see it in the Broken Soul Valley, he helped Sanniang when she was making it, and he also touched it with his hands after it was done.
Collecting eggs is basically his job.
Therefore, he closed his eyes involuntarily, and then immediately felt the familiar feeling...
