Beauty is sick

It was Jin Lingjiu who was the first to discover something was wrong between Zuo Ping and Mu Jiao. He was already observant, not to mention that these two were people close to him.

After talking about things, Jin Lingjiu took Zuo Ping and left the teahouse.

On the way, Jin Lingjiu looked at Zuo Ping's expression calmly, and asked, "Did Mu Jiao make you angry?"

Zuo Xing was a little dazed, and after realizing it, he shook his head: "No."

"You went out with her, and after you came back, your mood was unstable, and you have been in a trance, as if you lost your soul." Jin Lingjiu glanced at him, "We have known each other for fourteen or five years, have you? There is something in my heart, can I still not see it?"

It was almost evening, the sun was smoky yellow, and it fell all over the ground, covering the passers-by with a layer of golden powder.

Zuo Ping lowered his brows and said in a dull tone: "It has nothing to do with her, it's because I want too much."

It was his own fault that he was not satisfied with the current relationship, wanted to be with her, and wanted to stay together forever.

It was his wishful thinking.

Jin Lingjiu heard the meaning of his words, and his expression was a little serious: "I said long ago, everything is up to you, and your identity depends only on yourself."

Zuo Ping was a slave, and suffered a rough childhood, natural disasters and man-made disasters, his family members died, he sold himself to bury his father, and was bought back by Jin Lingjiu. He was gifted with good understanding, so he and Jin Lingjiu studied under Jiang Yulou.

Jin Lingjiu has never seen him as a slave, but Zuo Ping himself cares a lot about it. He is a precocious child who knows how to sell himself to bury his father at a young age. After being bought back by Jinling Jiu, he has always put himself in an inferior position .

The few times before, Jin Lingjiu made Jin Lingjiu unhappy by making self-deprecation several times. In Huaizhou City, Jin Lingjiu finally couldn't bear it anymore, so he threw such words at him.

Zuo Ping clenched his fists and showed a slightly wry smile: "Jiuye, my life has long been doomed. You bought me, and I will work hard for you. Even if you don't care, for so many years, I am It must be paid back."

Jin Lingjiu has heard it several times, and is not very angry now: "How much money did you spend to buy it, do you remember?"

Zuo Ping nodded: "I remember."

For so many years, he has never dared to forget.

"That's good." Jin Lingjiu's eyes were cold, and he stretched out his hand to him, palm facing up, "Give me back a hundred times."

It doesn't cost much to buy a slave, let alone a slave who sells himself.

Zuo Ping didn't know what he meant, obediently took out the money bag and put it in his hand.

The first floor of the world has a lot of money and wealth, and it is famous for making money as an errand in it. A person who inquires about news can earn a lot of money, let alone Zuo Ping, who is in charge of various affairs in Jinling Jiu.

Jin Lingjiu weighed the purse, with a stern expression on his face: "Since you can't figure it out, let me help you make up your mind. I spent money to buy you back then, but now you pay me back a hundred times. We get both money and goods. From now on, we will make a clean break, and I will not lack your left screen on the first floor of the world."

He left without any hesitation.

Zuo Ping was stunned for a long time, as if someone had hit the head with a stick, his lips moved and he couldn't make a sound.

His first reaction was that Jin Lingjiu was joking, he had been following Jinlingjiu for more than ten years, and he never thought that one day Jinlingjiu would abandon him.

But Jin Lingjiu never joked.

Zuo Ping choked for breath, his whole body was cold, when he realized it, his body had spontaneously caught up with Jinling Jiu: "Master Jiu..."

Jin Lingjiu didn't say a word, ignored him, and walked forward on his own.

Before he reached the gate of the Youzhou military camp, he saw Pei Zhe who was waiting for him, and there were a few men in armor standing scattered around him, who seemed to be members of the Youzhou army.

Seeing Jinling Nine Empress, Pei Zhe and the people around him nodded slightly, said a few words, and then came up to them: "Where did you go?"

He moved his eyes back and saw Zuo Ping with a panicked expression. He was in a daze and looked at Jin Lingjiu worriedly: "But what happened?"

Can make Zuo Ping look so ugly, Pei Zhe can only think of one possibility: something happened to Jinling Jiu.

Jin Lingjiu glanced at Zuo Ping: "You are free now, you don't have to follow me."

"No..." Zuo Ping became impatient, ignoring that Pei Zhe was still there, and knelt down beside Jin Lingjiu, "Master Jiu, please don't drive me away."

The left screen is the left screen, even if I am in a hurry, I still can't say a few more words to beg for mercy.

Pei Zhe raised his eyebrows, smacked a bit, and smoothed things over with a smile: "Are you two having a fight?"

If it was someone else, he would have watched the fun with his hands in his hands, but Zuo Ping couldn't do it, so he didn't trust other people to take care of Jin Lingjiu.

Unable to discuss in detail for a while, Jin Lingjiu shook his head lightly: "It's getting late, let's go back and rest."

It seemed that Jin Lingjiu was determined to cure Zuo Ping, Pei Zhe secretly sighed in his heart: The master and servant are both very stable, I didn't expect such a thing to happen.

"Don't you want to eat?" Pei Zhe took his hand and put it on his abdomen, "I've been tossing all day, and I'm starving to death. Brother Nine treats guests, how about rewarding me?"

Jin Lingjiu tossed up the purse he had just received twice: "It's just right, I just received a sum of interest, so just pick what Jiaojiao wants to eat."

Silver and silver collided together, making a unique sound.

Zuo Ping clenched his teeth, feeling that the voice was disturbing, disturbing him, wishing he could grab the purse and throw it as far away as possible.

Pei Zhe was so thoughtful, he immediately guessed what the two of them were arguing about, rolled his eyes, and said cheerfully: "That's a good thing, just now I heard from a lieutenant in the army that there is a restaurant in Youzhou City that is very famous, expensive and good Eat, I'm poor and white, but I've got nothing to do with Brother Nine."

Jin Lingjiu held the money bag in one hand, and took his hand with the other: "Go, go eat."

Just two steps away, I heard a sound from behind, like a sharp weapon being unsheathed.

Pei Zhe was startled, and before he could turn his head, his hand hurt. Looking closely, he found that it was Jin Lingjiu who was holding his hand tightly.

The voice was sonorous and powerful, with a trace of determination: "Master Jiu, I made you angry, Zuo Ping is willing to be punished."

Jin Lingjiu turned around, kicked the sword in his hand, and said, "Are you trying to fight against me?!"

The left screen is dumb: "No..."

Jin Lingjiu waved his hand, and the heavy purse fell directly on his head: "You really don't know what I mean?"

This time he didn't hold back his hand, Jin Lingjiu's martial arts skills directly beat him until his forehead was red and swollen, faintly bloodshot, he looked horrifying.

Pei Zhe was startled, and exclaimed: "If you have something to say, don't do it, don't do it!"

"How do you say it well?" Jin Lingjiu strode over, grabbed Zuo Ping by the collar, and lifted him up directly, "How many times have I told you that you despised yourself and said no?" Are you going against me on purpose?"

Zuo Bing didn't show any sign of resistance, and silently lowered his eyelids.

Jin Lingjiu laughed suddenly, feeling absurd: "Zuo Ping, I have never regarded you as a slave, if not, why would I keep you by my side all the time, I thought you understood, but the fact... Zuo Ping, you I'm so disappointed."

Zuo Ping was shocked: "Master Jiu, I—"

Jin Lingjiu interrupted him impatiently, and only the two of them could hear the lowered voice: "The battle is imminent, I want you to protect me well, I trust you, is this how you treat my trust?"

Zuo Xing kept shaking his head, wanting to explain something.

Jin Lingjiu was not in the mood to listen, he let go of his hand, and waved it casually: "You don't have to follow me now, you should think about it for yourself, and come to me after you think it through."

Jin Lingjiu's mood was visibly worse.

Pei Zhe didn't want to touch his brow, and didn't dare to stick to it until he arrived at the restaurant: "Are you still angry? Don't be angry, it will become ugly when you are angry. If it is ugly, no one will like it."

"..." Jin Lingjiu grabbed his hand angrily and took a bite, "Little heartless man, you don't like me because I don't look good?"

Pei Zhe wailed twice on purpose: "You are the heartbroken man, are you trying to kill me and murder your husband?"

Jin Lingjiu was amused by his pretentious little expression, and took a sip of tea: "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Pei Zhe rubbed his eyebrows: "If it's okay, you won't be so worried. What happened?"

Jin Lingjiu briefly explained the matter of Zuo Ping.

Pei Zhe couldn't laugh or cry: "He is also stubborn enough."

Jin Lingjiu nodded in agreement: "Too stubborn, I have had a headache for a long time, but I still can't get it over from him, so I have to make such a bad move."

"In my opinion, you don't have to worry too much. Zuo Ping is a thoughtful person. He got into a corner for a while. Give him some time and he will get better." Pei Zhe propped his forehead and rolled his eyes, "It's not possible , ask Mu Jiao to enlighten him."

Jin Lingjiu: "... Let's forget about Mu Jiao, as long as she doesn't make trouble."

Pei Zhe had a different opinion: "Don't Zuo Ping like Mu Jiao? He has to listen to what Mu Jiao says."

Jin Lingjiu was not surprised. He could see Zuo Ping's thoughts on Mu Jiao, and squeezed his hand and put it on his thigh: "Do you think everyone is as smart as you? The front of the left screen can’t do much, and it’s too much to fight poison with fire.”

"Pfft ha ha ha, fight poison with poison." Pei Zhe smiled enough, and scratched his thigh twice, "Then what are you going to do?"

Jin Lingjiu shrugged indifferently: "It doesn't matter what to do, Zuo Ping will figure it out."

Seeing his firm attitude, Pei Zhe didn't ask any more questions, and said with deep emotion: "The people you pick are all capable."

Jin Lingjiu raised his eyebrows: "What did Zhao Yuan do?"

"He is going to take the initiative to send troops to attack the Xi Kingdom." Pei Zhe did not hide anything, and told what he heard when he met Zhao Yuan and the soldiers this afternoon.

Jin Lingjiu rubbed the back of his hand one after another: "Xi Kingdom has repeatedly invaded, if it retreats for a long time, it will definitely destroy the morale of the soldiers, which is not conducive to combat."

Pei Zhe nodded: "Indeed, Zhao Yuan feels that the time is right now, and the impact of Xi's attack is getting smaller and smaller, so he will definitely change his plan. Instead of being caught off guard by them, it is better to seize the opportunity."

Jinling met with his subordinates on the afternoon of the [-]th, and learned about the existing military strength of Youzhou and Xiguo, and reckoned that it was about the same: "So Zhao Yuan asked you to go there to get the Right Prime Minister to agree to send troops?"

Pei Zhe said "hmm": "He is eager to make a contribution. Now that he has such a good opportunity to fight back, he naturally doesn't want to take advantage of others."

Jinling Jiu raised his eyebrows: "Why does it sound like your evaluation of him has suddenly become less positive?"

"Maybe it's because I'm more self-cleaning and self-loving, unlike someone who hides little secrets with other people." Pei Zhe said strangely.

Sure enough, Jin Lingjiu was distracted by this topic: "What are you eating so jealous of?"

Pei Zhe raised his chin, and snorted proudly: "You haven't confessed to me yet, what secret is there between you and Wen Feiyu?"
