Zhong Zhiheng looked at his face, Zhong Zhiling is not young anymore, he will be fifty in the Chinese New Year. Although there is no gray hair yet, the wrinkles at the corners of the eyes are already obvious, Zhong Zhiheng looked at his tired eyes. All of a sudden, he thought of the boy's frank and clear eyes in the past. For a while, my mind was very complicated.
"Then it's not too late now." After a while, Zhong Zhiheng smiled lightly, "Do you want to be a worthless rich prince from now on?"
"Chendi thinks about it. It's just that the burden on Chendi is not light. It seems that winter is about to begin, and the small country in the Western Regions is at a time when it is too late. There will be friction at the border. Chendi is worried all the time. "Zhong Zhiling shook his head helplessly, "My brother's heart is probably going to be overworked to death."
"If you don't want to work any longer, I won't force you." Zhong Zhiheng looked at Zhong Zhiling with raised eyebrows. This time, he was not as teasing as he was just now, "Dazhou does not lack a hero who guards the frontier. But I am missing a younger brother who can go to the palace to chat with me from time to time to relieve my boredom."
Zhong Zhiling was startled, apparently he did not expect Zhong Zhiheng to say such a thing. He raised his eyes and looked at Zhong Zhiheng, with some doubts: "Brother Huang, what do you mean..."
"You are not young. You are half a century old. No matter how good your body is, you should not be able to carry it. You should live a peaceful life. Besides, it is the end of the year. I am reluctant to let you go, right?" Zhong Zhiheng still Smiling, the corner of the mouth slightly raised, "You have suffered in the Northwest for thirty-four years, and I always feel bad when I think about it. Now that you are willing to let go of your heart and return to Beijing, then stay and don't worry about it." Go back and suffer, don't worry me anymore."
"Brother Huang, what are you worried about?" Zhong Zhiling also smiled, and while putting the teacup in his hand on the small table, he looked at Zhong Zhiheng with a smile on his face, "Are you worried about your brother's health, or are you worried that the Northwest will also fight with the South? Usually there are troubles from time to time? The younger brother thought that since the 20 years of the big case, the emperor's brother is completely at ease with the younger brother, but I didn't expect the emperor's brother to be unwavering."
"Old Seven!" Zhong Zhiheng put his face down immediately, put the teacup in his hand heavily on the table, and looked at Zhong Zhiling with a sullen face, "I'm already very old, what should I say and what should not be said, what should I say? Can I teach you?"
"Yes, it's my younger brother who overstepped, please forgive me." Zhong Zhiling pursed his lips, and finally gave Zhong Zhiheng a deep bow.
"Think about it carefully. After all, it is the age to know the destiny. Isn't it more comfortable for An An to live in the capital and live in the northwest than to fight and kill in the northwest?" Zhong Zhiheng looked slightly pale, and sighed softly while looking at Zhong Zhiling In a tone of voice, "When you are still young and have a peaceful life, marry a daughter-in-law, and the dignified phoenix son and dragon grandson will spend their whole lives as bachelors. What does it sound like?"
"Yes, thank you brother for your concern." Zhong Zhiling curled his lips mockingly.
"Okay, you go back and think about it first." Zhong Zhiheng waved his hand, opened the memorial, and looked down.
"Yes, my brother is leaving." Zhong Zhiling stood up, gave Zhong Zhiheng a cold look, and then bowed and retreated.
It wasn't until the sound of footsteps completely disappeared that Zhong Zhiheng slowly raised his head. He stood up, walked slowly to the window, opened the window gently, and watched Zhong Zhiling walk slowly in the silvery white sky, black and white. The cloak fluttered gently with the wind, he didn't open an umbrella, he just walked forward in the snow, his back was as straight as before, just looking at it from behind, it's hard to tell that this is a man who is nearly fifty years old Half an old man.
Zhong Zhiheng looked at Zhong Zhiling's back without blinking, until he got down the steps and sat in the sedan chair, Zhong Zhiheng finally let out a deep breath.
The chaos in southern Xinjiang has been resolved. Chi Chongyuan and Cheng Xiangyang, two poor families, replaced Xu's family and went to southern Xinjiang with his expectations. He was relieved in his heart, but when he thought of the northwest, he His heart became heavy again. Compared with Xu Chengjin, Zhong Zhiling was his confidant. No matter in terms of background, reputation, or status in the army, Xu Chengjin and Zhong Zhiling were incomparable at all. Therefore, Zhong Zhiheng's feelings for Zhong Zhiling have always been It's very subtle, this person is the youngest brother he valued and defended the most, and this person is also an opponent he can't let go of in his life, whether it is emotionally or in other places, Zhong Zhiling will always be a big stone in his heart. It's just that in the past, this big rock was far away in the northwest, and the sky was high and the emperor was far away. Even if he wanted to move it, he didn't have the opportunity and strength. I can't go anywhere in this life, so I can only stay in front of him honestly.
