Chapter 283
Xia Ji nodded slightly, but he stood up, very calm: "Miss Xia doesn't have to be polite."
Xia Ji was stunned.
Over the years, she has been used to other people's names, either "empress" or "madam" - always subordinating her to a man. Now, the old man calls her "Miss Xia".
What's more, he looked at her with calm, kind eyes, no ripples, no waves. He looked at her, not the eyes of a man, but the eyes of an old man. It reminds me of Xiao Zhengshu.
Xia Ji, who was killed from the man's fierce eyes, needed such eyes too much.
Her heart, strangely safe.
The original vigilance and prevention suddenly disappeared.
"Miss Xia, please sit down."
She sat down opposite the old man and remembered something. Then she stood up, poured him a cup of hot tea and handed it to him respectfully.
"No! Miss Xia, don't be polite. "
"Xianglao, this is Xia Ji's duty. Hagi is married to you. "
The old man took a sip of his tea cup and said with a faint smile, "Miss Xia, I've seen through the sinister officialdom since I was defeated last time. This time, the king will reward you to me, everyone said I was lucky. However, I have self-knowledge that the king only wants to preserve his name of benevolence and righteousness, and he does not want to be won by others. So, let me get such a big advantage. But, let you marry me such an old man, isn't it a waste of talent?? You see, I'm a dying man. You've been my granddaughter. How can I do that with my conscience? "
“!!!!”
This time, he looked at her carefully, still not a man's look at a woman, but he did not hide his appreciation and love for beauty, and sighed: "my old wife and I also had a daughter. The little girl is beautiful and lovely. It's a pity that when I went to the battlefield, she died at home. When I was dying, I didn't see her for the last time. If she's still alive, she's your age... "
Xia Ji was moved, but still silent.
"Miss Xia, don't worry about living in the main room of the east wing. I won't step into it. From today on, I will move to the West Wing guest room. There are walls and gates on both sides. You can rest assured that no one will be able to intrude. "
Xia Ji listened quietly and didn't know how to answer.
"Miss Xia, my vacation is not long, and I will return to the front line soon. I have been stationed in Ying City for a long time. Ying City is a fortress of Chu state. It's very dangerous and there are many wars. I can't tell which day I will die in the war... " He suddenly raised his hand. At this time, Xia Ji saw a better book card in front of him.
He handed it to me.
"Miss Xia, this is my written letter of divorce. The day I go to the battlefield is the day of your freedom. Let him remarry and come and go freely. From now on, life and death will be in peace..."
He laughed, his eyes full of wisdom.
"Miss Xia, you may not know the situation of Yingcheng. Ying City is the key between Jin and Chu. Over the past ten years, the state of Jin has grown up rapidly and has a strong military force. However, our garrison in Yingcheng is only 3000 people. I have written to the king many times, asking for more people, but he is always pushing things around. This time, I was told that Jin might launch 30000 troops to attack Yingcheng before I got married. Think about it. How can three thousand defenders fight against thirty thousand? So, this time, I know that there is death but no life... "
