farmer's husband

Chapter 721 Desperate

Chun Zhi's hand that pushed the door trembled suddenly, and she quickly withdrew her hand, trying not to let herself be too timid.

At this time, Li Xiaozi had already held her hand.

"Mom, come in quickly."

He turned around and closed the door again, and happily pushed Chun Zhi to sit down, holding Chun Zhi's hand firmly with one hand and refused to let go for a long time.

"Mother, mother, mother, long time no see, I see you again!" He called mother several times in a row, as if he wanted to call back all the debts he owed all these years.

He is obviously in his 20s, but in front of Chun Zhi, he is still like a child who hasn't grown up.Chun Zhi looked at the eldest son in front of her, and in her mind, the appearance of Li Xiaozi from birth to adulthood to marrying a wife and having children appeared one by one in her mind, and her nose was sore in an instant.

She held Li Xiaozi's face in one hand, and gently rubbed her fingertips on his face.

"Boy Li, Mother misses you too. How have you been all these years? Why have you lost weight? You're still dark, but you seem to have grown a lot taller."

As she spoke, her eye sockets were also wet.

Li Xiaozi nodded repeatedly and answered her in a low voice.As he spoke, his voice choked up.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Just as the mother and son got together and said goodbye without finishing their conversation, a strange coughing sound suddenly sounded from the side.

The mother and son both shut up and looked aside at the same time, only to see Chai Dong looking at them with a sullen face.

The parting time with Chai Dong was longer.Before he knew it, he was already in his forties. In his 40s, he doesn't seem much older than in his 30s, but he is still so handsome, and even his back, which is as straight as a green bamboo, has not changed its curvature for decades.However, there is still a bit more wisdom and elegance in him, and there is a layer of stability and maturity between his brows.

It's just...whether it's wise and elegant, or mature and stable, none of these seem to have much to do with his current face.

When Chun Zhi's mother and son looked over, Chai Dong immediately turned his eyes, and he immediately regained his former composure.

He cleared his throat, and said slowly: "You walked into the capital in disguise today, shouldn't it be to say goodbye to Boy Li?"

Chun Zhi pursed her lips. "You already sent someone to watch me, didn't you?"

"Yes." Chai Dong answered honestly.

Chunzhi smiled lightly. "I knew it. So, you have been waiting here for a long time, because you know that I will definitely come."

"And you also know that I will definitely wait for you here, but you still came." Chai Dong also answered slowly.

Chunzhi smiled slightly. "Yeah! We all expected it a long time ago, and we finally meet here again."

It's just that it seems that since the separation, every time the two of them meet is unusual.It's as if they can't get together without some major event!

Just like now, the incident in front of me is even more earth-shattering.

"Yeah, we finally meet again." Chai Dong was also filled with emotion for her words.His eyes swept over her face greedily, and a trace of emotion unconsciously appeared in his eyes, "It's been 12 years, but you don't seem to have changed at all."

Chun Zhi's heart moved, and she curled the corner of her mouth. "Well, there is no need to talk nonsense. Since you know that I am coming, then with your intelligence, you should guess what the purpose of my visit is. So, what is your answer now? "

Chai Dong's eyes darkened. "You have to know that now my life and death are closely related to Concubine Chai. She can't have an accident."

"However, King Qin holds the lives of Yiya and Kid Xi in his hands. Girl Chen, Girl Pan, and Boy Yan are still in Liangzhou, and not far from Liangzhou is the border gate, and [-]% of the border gate The above generals are all from King Qin!" Chun Zhi only told him that.

The implication is that everything about Concubine Chai is attached to him, but she is not the same as many lives are implicated in her?Especially when these lives are still their children!

Now, choose Concubine Chai and the prosperity and wealth for the rest of her life, or preserve the four children except Li Xiaozi?This is the choice before him.

Chai Dong's complexion gradually became gloomy.

"You are forcing me."

"That's right, I'm just forcing you." Chun Zhi nodded, "Anyway, I've already made a choice, and it's up to you now. But if you disagree, that's okay, I've already made mental preparations."

"In your eyes, am I such a cold-blooded and ruthless person? I can even disregard the lives of my own children?" Chai Dong looked at her displeased.

Chunzhi smiled lightly. "Of course you are not cold-blooded and ruthless. On the contrary, you are too sympathetic. It's just that what you value more is the blood relationship between you and Concubine Chai. As for me and the child, you have automatically put them in the back. Before You have already chosen Concubine Chai once and abandoned our mother and son, so if you still choose this time, I will not say anything. After all, we have parted ways 12 years ago, and I really have no right to ask you to do it again. what for us."

"You are mocking me." Chai Dong smiled wryly.

Chun Zhi pursed her lips and remained silent.

Li Xiaozi is now the only one in the yamen.But now seeing his parents arguing with each other right in front of his eyes, he was like a weak child, looking at this side and then over there, a look of anxiety appeared in his eyes.

Finally, he simply fell to his knees with a plop.

"Father, mother, please stop arguing. Please listen to what the child has to say!"

As expected, Chai Dongchunzhi shut up, and the two of them looked at him again.

Seeing Li Xiaozi raised his head, he said softly: "Father, you have worked so hard for so many years for the concubine and aunt, and it is very easy to achieve today's results. It is natural that you refuse to give up. But my mother cares about my brothers and sisters. She can't bear the heart of her siblings falling into the clutches of the King of Qin. This is a mother's nature. You are not wrong, and you shouldn't be forced to make a choice. But now, since things have come to this point, you It’s impossible not to choose. But dad, you can’t betray your concubine and aunt, if that’s the case, then let the child bear the responsibility!”

"Boy Li, what do you want to do?" Chai Dong's face changed drastically in an instant.

Li boy took a deep breath before he slowly opened his mouth: "Father, isn't mother's request now to let King Qin in? The reason why you disagree is because you are worried that King Qin will lead troops into the capital, and then destroy the well-thought-out process between you and your concubine and aunt." The arrangement is very good. Since this is the case, the child can only find a way to quietly open a small crack on the city gate, and only let King Qin in. Other idlers, etc., will continue to be locked outside the city gate!"

"It's easy to say, but it's definitely not easy to do. Are you sure you can do it?" Chai Dong asked in a deep voice.

"If you can do it, you can only wait until you do it. Parents, you all have your own standpoints, and it's not for me to comment. But in the spirit of filial piety, I can only take the risk once." Li Xiaozi said slowly with.

Chai Dong raised his eyebrows and thought for a while, then he stopped going. "In that case, then you go!"

"Yes, thank you dad." Li Xiaozi got up immediately to leave.

"Little boy!" Chun Zhi heard the words of their father and son, but a wave of fear welled up in her heart.She quickly let out a low cry and grabbed her son's hand.

Li boy turned his head and smiled at her: "Mother, since you have already entered Beijing, don't get involved in this muddy water anymore. Your mission has been completed, and you will leave the rest to the child." Let's do it!"

As he spoke, he gently pushed Chun Zhi's hand away, then turned around and left without hesitation.

Chun Zhi's heart suddenly tightened, and her body began to tremble slightly.

At this time, Chai Dong also stood up, and he walked slowly to her side.

"This is Li Xiaozi's own choice, and it is also his expression of respecting and loving you as a mother and caring for his younger siblings. No matter what the final outcome is, he should bear everything. You don't need to have any psychological burden."

"But I have it, so what should I do?" Chun Zhi suddenly turned to look at him.

Chai Dong was slightly taken aback, but then he smiled.

"You are finally willing to look at me. I have been waiting for you for so many years!"

Chunzhi was taken aback for a moment, and she hurried away.

Chai Dong put another hand on her shoulder. "Boy Li is our son. You and I know what he is capable of. Since he has made this decision, he must have made a decision in his heart. You don't have to worry too much about him. After all, it's useless to worry. Now , we'd better stay here and wait for his news!"

With that said, he pushed Chun Zhi back to sit down again, and poured her a cup of tea with his own hands.

Chun Zhi held the teacup, but she didn't drink half of it for a long time.

When she passed through the city gate, it was getting late.Not long after Li Xiaozi left the teahouse, the sky outside was gradually shrouded in darkness.

"In a quarter of an hour, the city gate will be closed." Chai Dong whispered again.

Harue shook his shoulders again.

At this moment, outside, a series of rapid knocking sounds sounded on the door panel.

"Come in." Chai Dong said in a deep voice.

Immediately the door opened, and Dai Yi strode in.

"Uncle, it's not good. Li Xiaozi just quietly went to the north gate to let King Qin in, but he didn't expect that King Qin came prepared. The moment the city gate opened for him, the people behind him rushed over. , directly knocked open the city gate. Now, all their troops have poured into the capital!"
