"So the young general likes spicy food?" Li Xiaoji said, and immediately ordered someone to take the plate of chicken and fry it again, making sure to satisfy Zita.

Hearing Li Xiaoji call him "little general", Zita's eyebrows slightly arched, biting the chicken leg, and said: "You are really interesting. After getting the token, you should know my identity, but you still call me that."

"Should I say that you are cunning and know how to manipulate people's hearts, or should I say that you are interesting and can tell the difference between the front and the back and the identity of the person in front of you?"

Li Xiaoji shook his head, poured a glass of wine for Jita, and said: "The title is just the same, little general, don't mind, you are now a prisoner of war that I want to treat you with courtesy, so you should use the title in the military."

"But when it comes time to negotiate terms, you will only be my proton, used as a bargaining chip to hold Juebei hostage, so that Dayan can gain more benefits."

Zita nodded and said, "Okay, whatever you want to do."

After finishing the chicken legs, Zita picked up the wine glass, took a sip, smacked his lips, and said: "I didn't expect that Dayan also has such strong wine, it's so delicious!"

"If the young general likes it, feel free to drink it. I don't have any other skills, but I still have the ability to make the young general eat happily, drink happily, and sleep peacefully."

Li Xiaoji handed the wine bottle to Jita. Zita smiled and corrected: "Call me Jita. Not everyone can call me by my name. You are the first among wild geese."

"It's my honor." Li Xiaoji changed his mind in time, and after serving a few more side dishes in the kitchen, he and Zita started eating.

Although Zita is different from the boudoir girl in her boldness and forthrightness, she has the proper upbringing and rules, and does not need to show her personality in a rude way at the dinner table.

The same is true for Li Xiaoji. He imitated his original appearance and looked as beautiful as a painting even when he was eating. Jita was stunned for a while. After a while, he couldn't help but say: "You are so beautiful!"

This sentence seemed to open a certain taboo, which made Li Xiaoji frown displeased and glanced at Jita lightly. This glance was like a poisonous snake in the dark, like a ferocious beast deep in the forest, making people unable to breathe. .

But Li Xiaoji soon realized that he had lost his composure, clenched his fists, stood up and left. Only after his movement did Zita realize what had happened.

She couldn't help but startled and clutched her chest. That look could almost kill her on the spot.

Subconsciously taking two steps forward, Zita wanted to ask herself what she had said wrong, but she only saw Li Xiaoji's back. She recalled the scene just now and asked, "You are so beautiful." Is there anything wrong with these four words?

"What a strange person!" Zita couldn't help but feel depressed. Looking at the delicious food in front of him, he suddenly lost interest. He picked up a plate of pastries and walked to the courtyard where he lived.

The kung fu maid who was responsible for guarding her quickly followed. Even though Li Xiaoji was very polite to Zita and Zita regarded this place as her own home, they still did not dare to forget her identity as a prisoner of war.

The reason why Jita dared to stay in the courtyard arranged for her by Li Xiaoji's people was because of her own confidence.

She is the only legitimate princess of the Juebei Kingdom. Even though she has no biological brothers to support her, there is no need to worry about the future, because she received a token made for her by her father and an imperial edict written by her own hand when she was just born.

The token is like my presence in person, and the imperial edict has the ability to change the emperor. No matter who becomes the emperor in the future, he must treat her with courtesy, otherwise, he will be replaced by her holding the imperial edict.

The reason why she is so favored is partly because her mother, the Emperor Juebei, and the Queen were childhood sweethearts, sharing life and death together through thick and thin, and their relationship was extraordinary.

The other half is due to a natural phenomenon when Zita was born. The heavy rain that had been falling for several months suddenly stopped, the dark clouds dispersed, the sun shone through, the sky was clear, and there were even chirping of sacred birds, attracting thousands of people to worship.

This made Long Yan, the emperor of Juebei, very happy and believed that his daughter was born extraordinary, so he naturally doted on her very much.

Relying on this love, Zita lived a carefree life, never afraid of anything, but she was scared just now. The first experience in her life made her a little angry, but also felt novel.

Xu is the mother-daughter connection. The moment Jita was frightened by Li Xiaoji, the queen accidentally dropped the tea cup in the Juebei Palace. She believed that this was an ominous omen and immediately went to the emperor to beg him to save them immediately. daughter.

The emperor would find a way to do this without asking the queen. Jita was the apple of his eye. Now that it fell into the hands of Dayan Ren, how could he not be anxious?

However, the defeat in Juebei was too disastrous, and the country's foundation would be shaken if they were not careful. They had to be careful and not act rashly and lose again.

And if Dayan Kingdom wants to bite off two more pieces of meat from Juebei, it should know how to treat Jita. Jita's life is not worried for the time being, and the rest will be figured out when the terms are negotiated.

Even so, the Emperor and Empress of Juebei still couldn't hide their worries. In order to protect Jita and the foundation of Juebei to the greatest extent, the geese would not take advantage of the situation to attack.

After some discussions in the court, Juebei Kingdom was willing to negotiate peace with Dayan Kingdom, with a very low profile, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, allowing others to manipulate it.

Countries looked at Juebei's disgraced face. After reading the joke, they couldn't help but worry about their own situation, and they all turned their attention to Dayan Kingdom.

If the wild goose makes one wrong move, it will become the target of public criticism.

Juebei bent down, and the news of the peace negotiation with Dayan reached the Dayan Palace. His Majesty, who was about thirty-five years old and had a handsome face, burst into laughter. "They all say that I am confused. Hey, let's see who is winning the battle now." ?”

As he said that, Jiang Chenzhi couldn't help but stand up and walked around excitedly, like a child who had won a bet, with expressions of joy and anger.

All the ministers had complicated expressions. They did not expect that Li Xiaoji's performance would be so outstanding. It strongly conflicted with their inherent cognition. For a while, they didn't know what to say.

Seeing the minister's reaction, Jiang Chenzhi became even happier. He stood with his hands behind his back and said, "Is this 'General Li' worthy of his name now?"

"..." Zhu Qing was speechless. Having accomplished such a feat, not only did he live up to his reputation, but at least he took off the hat of being superficial.

But what happened that made Li Xiaoji, who had always been a secretive person, feel like a fish in water as if his shackles were lifted when he went to the battlefield?

Looking at everyone's reaction, he didn't know what he thought of. Jiang Chenzhi suddenly turned cold and shouted angrily, shouting at the officials to retreat. But before the officials left, he issued a strict order that no one could enter the palace without being summoned.

Jiang Chenzhi has always been moody, and all the officials have long been accustomed to it. They bowed and retired, and went back to their respective homes. On the surface, they were peaceful, but privately they were discussing Li Xiaoji's actions this time.

After all, his previous avoidance of fighting and being unable to retreat didn't seem like a show to confuse the enemy. So what happened to make him change his mind?

Jiang Chenzhi also wanted to understand this question. Before he led the troops and set off, the man's eyes were dead, as if he could no longer hold hope.

And he knew clearly that the man had bad intentions and was very likely to cause huge disasters, but he still indulged him again and again, just because he was tired of this evil life.

No matter how much he lingers, his illness is unlikely to be cured, so why bother struggling with it until his ugly appearance is revealed?

Shaking his head, Jiang Chenzhi walked into the study room and looked at the portrait hanging on the wall. In the painting, a father and son were riding horses and hunting. It could be seen that the people in the painting were very happy at that time, with no worries on their faces.

However, time flies by, people's faces are changed beyond recognition, and the past is hard to trace. Jiang Chenzhi took a deep breath and closed his eyes tightly, "Father and son, I really can't hold on anymore..."

If he continued like this, he was afraid that he would personally destroy everything that his ancestors had worked so hard to accumulate.

They are all poor people...
