Chapter 1610 Three Days Withering

On the windowsill facing the lake, the spring scenery is blooming.

There is only one pot of flowers, but they bloom with a flourishing momentum in spring.

The head, wings, tail and feet of this flower are upturned like a phoenix, and the stems are as bright and fluttering as a fairy.

The main lobes on both sides extend outward, as if they are about to blow away. The lines are graceful and brilliant like golden feathers.

Hence the name "Golden Feather Phoenix".

It opens very slowly, only once every three years.

The flowering period is very short, only blooming for three days.

Therefore, it is also called "Three Days Withering".

The growing conditions are extremely harsh. If you want to retain its blooming posture and artificially freeze the flowering period, you need to consume a lot of resources.

In the entire Qi Kingdom, only the Bao family can produce a stable output of Golden Feather Impatiens flowers.

Of course, this business has now been transferred to Chongxuan Sheng of the Chongxuan family.

In addition to being beautiful, this flower also has extremely high medicinal value. Its "fairy whiskers" can be used in more than 30 kinds of prescriptions to improve the effectiveness of the medicine. Its petals are also a highly sought-after raw material for making tea. Especially the two-petal "Golden Feather" is among the best raw materials for scented tea.

Uncle Shuofang Bao Yi loved this flower so much that he would place a pot of golden-feathered impatiens in full bloom on his window sill all year round. Of course, it is not beautiful enough to maintain the illusion of undefeated flowers with extraordinary power. Instead, the flowers are moved here. They wither every three days and change every three days.

When Bao Bozhao first changed hands in this business, he had a rigid requirement—to ensure the supply to Shuo Fangbo.

"The more beautiful the flower, the shorter the flowering period. This is probably the eternal principle of heaven." Bao Yi looked out the window at the vast misty Feihe Lake with his hands behind his hands, and sighed lightly.

This uncle, who was called "Pie Yao" when he was young and was once as famous as Zhong Xuan Ming Tu, could not tell that he was brave or strong just by looking at his appearance.

He is more like a wealthy scholar, with gentle features and gentle eyes.

Only when you turn around and raise your eyebrows can you see the ruggedness and feel the perseverance.

He just looked at Bao Zhongqing and said slowly: "You are my only son."

Today, Bao Zhongqing is dressed very plainly, without any unnecessary accessories, but everything is very appropriate. If there weren't those pockmarks on his face, it wouldn't be ugly.

There are so many secret arts in this world that the slight flaws on the face are not a problem to Shuofang Bofu.

But when he was very young, Bao Zhongqing said - "A man should seek golden body and chalcedony, and he who seeks golden clothes and jade face is a little man!" He personally refused to adjust his appearance.

It was this sentence that officially started the competition between him and Bao Bozhao for the hereditary title.

Today, the Daqi Bao family, with three earls in one family, is extremely prominent. However, only the position of Shuofang Bo is hereditary and is the true foundation of a thousand-year-old family.

Uncle Shuo Fang has always been the leader of the Bao family.

At this moment, facing his father's extremely rare expression of emotion, Bao Zhongqing said with a sad face: "Please express my condolences on Father's Day."

Bao Yi looked at Bao Zhongqing and said nothing for a while.

Bao Zhongqing looked at Bao Yi with worry and sadness in his eyes.

"Did you kill Bo Zhao?" contemporary Uncle Shuo suddenly asked.

The sound resounded like thunder.

Bao Zhongqing's face showed disbelief, and then he was heartbroken. With his extraordinary cultivation, he actually took two steps back before standing still: "How could Father say that?!"

He stood firm, barely holding on, and took a step forward in shock and pain: "How could I do that kind of thing? In the eyes of my father, am I someone worse than a beast?!"

Bao Yi's eyes were cold at this moment: "You didn't deny that you could do it."

"People have a bottom line!" Bao Zhongqing's eyes were mixed with pain and anger: "No matter whether he can do it or not, he is my biological brother from the same mother. How could I do that?! In terms of identity and cultivation, Apart from these factors, at least I am still a human being!”

"So you can do it." Boyi said.

"If you give me enough time and the corresponding opportunity, I can kill Chongxuan Zun or Jiang Wang in the Wailou Realm. Before becoming a god, people are very fragile. Of course my father understands this." Bao Zhongqing's voice He was a little hoarse, and there were tears in his eyes: "But I don't know why my father wants to hurt my heart like this?"

Bao Yi looked at him steadily: "I personally went to Xia Di and checked all the traces of the battle at the scene. From Wuyang City to Xiaojianshan, I didn't miss any details."

Like a wounded animal, Bao Zhongqing shouted sadly and angrily: "Then you should know your son's innocence! You are a real person in this world, with eyes that see the truth, but you use these words to hurt me today, just because in Xia Wasn’t it me who died on the battlefield?”

Clang!

He pulled out a gorgeous-looking dagger, smashed it hard on the ground with his knees, knelt down, raised his hands, and presented the dagger.

"Come!"

He closed his eyes and looked up in tears: "If you are really worried, if you are really full of resentment, then use this dagger given to me by my brother to kill me! Let me, my unfulfilled son who deserves to die but not die, go to Buried with my brother who didn’t deserve to die but died!”

This dagger is blue in color and inlaid with gold and jade. It is extremely precious and is called "Zhao Qing". It was a gift from Bao Bozhao to Bao Zhongqing when he was eight years old.

They were still very close at that time.

"The human heart is more complicated than everything in the world. The eyes that can penetrate the world's reality cannot penetrate the human heart."

The commander-in-chief of the Annihilation Army, who was as powerful as him, actually lost consciousness for a moment.

Then he sighed and said: "Zhong Qing, in the past time, I may have ignored your feelings. I must also admit that when it comes to the inheritance of the title, my choice was a bit cold and hard, and I was not soft enough for you. You guys I bear the main responsibility for what happened between the two brothers, so I am probably the least qualified person to blame for the outcome."

He looked at his only remaining son with rare, soft eyes: "Tell me the truth, did Bo Zhao leave any last words before he died?"

Bao Zhongqing opened his teary eyes, looked up at his father, and said tremblingly: "You still don't believe me?"

"I don't have to blame you. I can blame Bo Zhao's death entirely on Xia Guotai. Bao can be completely unaware of this." Bao Yi said.

There was even a hint of pleading in his voice: "You shouldn't deprive... a father of the right to have a final conversation with his son?"

It is rare for a dignified real person, contemporary Uncle Shuo Fang, and the commander-in-chief of the Nine Soldiers of the Military Hall to look so fragile.

Who can remain unmoved by such a situation?

But Bao Zhongqing just said sadly: "Zhongqing deserves to die. He has been misbehaving so much that his father misunderstood him. Now I have no way to prove myself or clarify my will. I would like to bury my eldest brother with him so that my father will know! My father's love for his son will be with me forever." Even after Zhong Qing’s death, he can take pity on him!”

He turned the dagger upside down with his backhand, Dao Yuan surged through it, and he stabbed it into his heart without hesitation!

The tip of the dagger pierced his heart, and the blood quickly stained his clothes red. The energy of Gengjin surged and roared in the sea of ​​five mansions, and all destruction began from this point.

But everything was still.

Bao Yi grabbed his hand.

The head of the Bao family didn't say anything else. He just took off the Zhaoqing Dagger and put it in his arms. Then he took out a red-sealed gift note and put it in his hand.

"This gift list was originally prepared for your brother, and the person to make an appointment is the daughter of Cangzhu County Governor. Now it belongs to you, you can see if you want to add anything. I will have someone come to your door tomorrow to propose marriage..."

He noticed Bao Zhongqing's hesitant expression, so he paused: "What, do you have someone you like?"

"My son does have a true love in his heart."

Facing Uncle Shuo Fang's eyes, Bao Zhongqing said, "No more now."

Of course, a person like him cannot have any true love in his heart.

At most, he felt that the daughter of Cangzhu County Sheriff was not a good match for Shuofang Bofu. However, considering that Cangzhu County Sheriff is a disciple of Song Yao, the imperial court official, and there is still the possibility of promotion in both cultivation and official position, it is not completely unacceptable.

Especially this is something that Bao Yi has already decided.

He will accept it. But he needed to let his father know his sacrifice.

"Go." Bao Yi finally said.

"Father, please take care of yourself."

Bao Zhongqing knelt on the ground and made a big salute. Wiping away the tears, he got up, turned around and left the room.

Feihe Lake is the city lake with the best scenery in Linzi. This villa located on the bank of Feihe Lake is Bao Yi's favorite house.

The commander-in-chief of the Nine Soldiers hid his lonely eyes, turned around, and looked at the sparkling lake again.

But in the end I could no longer enjoy the scenery.

So with a flick of his sleeves, he wiped away the potted flowers on the windowsill, leaving not a single petal!

The Bao family and the Chongxuan family have been fighting for many years, and no one can really defeat the other.

But as Chongxuan Chu Liang was granted the title of marquis, he became a real person as the first god in the Eastern Region. Chongxuanzun and Chongxuansheng both showed terrible talents...

The Bao family has lost its momentum.

As the next generation leader of the Bao family, Bao Bozhao originally sold the Golden Feather Impatiens business just to ease the conflict between the Bao family and the Chongxuan family.

Not only did Bao Bozhao sell the Golden Feather Impatiens flower business to Chongxuansheng, he was also able to ignore the humiliation of being stepped on by Zhongxuanzun at the Master's Ceremony and open the door to Chongxuanzun's business. .

Bao Yi did not intend to interfere with Bao Bozhao's family management strategy. Bao Yi highly recognized Bao Bozhao's ability to tolerate things that ordinary people could not tolerate.

Of course, it doesn't make any sense to say this now.

Just like this pot of impatiens that has been wiped out.

What qualifications does the Bao family have to be an enemy of the Chongxuan family in the future?

What qualifications do you have to be friends with Chongxuan? !

…

…

After coming out of Feihe Lake Villa, Bao Zhongqing got into a carriage directly.

The man driving the car was none other than Yan Er, the sea-survivor who was once known as the best dragon in Linhai. Now...it's still Tamron.

The fog of ignorance is not so easy to penetrate.

Having been with Bao Zhongqing for so long, he already knew this man's temperament.

So he turned a blind eye to Bao Zhongqing's embarrassed appearance and just asked: "Master, where are you going?"

"Too hospital."

Sitting in the carriage, Bao Zhongqing treated the wound slowly and put on a new set of clothes.

There was nothing strange about his voice, and he said calmly: "Speaking of it, during the summer campaign, I, Chongxuan Zun, and Jiang Wang were fighting together on the Eastern Front. They were in coma for so many days in the Imperial Hospital. It was so emotional and reasonable. , I should go and see it too.”

Yan Er pulled the reins and controlled the carriage to drive smoothly towards the Tai Hospital.

Bao Zhongqing, like Chongxuanzun, Jiang Wang, and Chongxuansheng, were all seriously injured and were immediately sent back to Linzi for recuperation. However, after he returned to Linzi, he refused to receive treatment. Instead, he braced himself and returned home to report his death.

However, Chong Xuanzun and Jiang Wang lay in the Imperial Ancestral Hospital for several days. Seeing that the army was about to return, they would soon be presenting gifts to the Imperial Ancestral Temple...

When it comes to his true intentions, Bao Zhongqing does not agree with the strategy of easing the conflict with the Chongxuan family.

Even in this war against Xia, the two direct sons of the Chongxuan family both achieved amazing results. Destined to soar into the sky. He steadily defeated Bao Bozhao, who had died in battle, and Bao Zhongqing himself, who was lackluster.

But he believed that the more prosperous the Chongxuan clan was, the more useful the thorn planted by Chongxuan Mingtu would be. The Bao clan could be used as a check and balance move, allowing the emperor to use it to gain support... But this It was something Bao BoZhao decided before his death. Before Bao BoZhao's influence was completely eliminated, he was very willing to let his father feel their deep brotherly love.

This includes retaining old things and following the old strategies.

Moreover, since the old strategy must be followed... Bao Bozhao cooperated so much with Fatty Chongxuan's strategy on the Eastern Front, should Fatty Chongxuan express his opinion? There should always be a sense of retribution for the only brother who died in the battle.

The carriage stopped in front of the Tai Hospital.

Bao Zhongqing picked up a few gifts and walked inside.

He could fully imagine how glorious it would be for these people who were still recovering from their injuries at the Ancestral Temple ceremony after Cao Jie returned to court. So of course he understood the constant flow of traffic outside Taiyuan Hospital. We can also understand the strictness of several teams of Miyagi guards guarding the door and not allowing entry or exit.

Of course, this could not stop him, the legitimate son of Uncle Shuo Fang. Furthermore, he was also a general who was injured in the war against Xia. The injuries on his body should be replaced with medicine or something, right?

After walking back and forth in the huge Taiyuan Hospital for a while, before he could find a doctor to ask which hospital Jiang Wang lived in and which hospital Chongxuan Zun lived in, he already saw an extremely conspicuous fat man——

He was sneaking into the small courtyard on the east side like a thief.

Hearing the noise here, he turned around sharply.

A friendly smile suddenly broke out on that fat face: "Brother Bao!"

Bao Zhongqing even strode forward to greet him, with tears in his eyes: "Brother Zhongxuan, it's great that you can recover. I can finally let go of half of my heart!"

The two hands clasped together and shook them heavily, expressing deep affection.

"Oh? I wonder who the other half is hanging for?" Chong Xuan Sheng asked.

"Of course it's Brother Jiang Wangjiang, and your cousin Chong Xuanzun." Bao Zhongqing said seriously: "My brother died for the great cause of conquering Xia. How can I not be concerned about these heroes of Daqi? This concern is yours. Half, the two of them share half.”

"You can't let it go until you're dead?" Chong Xuan Sheng laughed.

Bao Zhongqing sighed: "Yes, unless I am completely dead, how can I let go of my concern for Pao Ze?"

This sentence made Zhong Xuan Sheng stand in awe: "I didn't know Brother Bao was such a kind-hearted person before. We must get along well in the future."

"We should have gotten along well long ago!" Bao Zhongqing said meaningfully.

Shouldn’t the future head of the Bao family and the future head of the Chongxuan family get along well with each other?

They have all been suppressed since they were young, and they have been at a disadvantage in competition for a long time. They should have a lot in common.

What? Are you, Chongxuan Sheng, the future head of the Chongxuan clan?

The person you compete with is lying unconscious on the hospital bed.

Should you...should think of something?

Zhong Xuansheng didn't seem to understand at all, he smiled harmlessly: "Brother Bao, are you coming to Tai Hospital today?"

Bao Zhongqing just laughed it off: "I wonder which courtyard Brother Jiang is recuperating in? I'll come and see him."

"No." Zhong Xuansheng shook his head solemnly: "The imperial doctor said that Brother Wang must have a good rest and rest, so he gave him the Sleeping Fairy Needle to extend his sleep time. He cannot be disturbed during this period."

Sleeping Fairy Needle!

One of the three most valuable sets of acupuncture at Linzi Tai Hospital, it is capable of recuperating the body and cultivating one's cultivation. It has the reputation of "you wake up from a big dream, and you can become an immortal after sleeping".

The extremely high cost of acupuncture makes it difficult to use.

What a huge sum of money!

"I'm rude." Bao Zhongqing said with regret: "I think it's the same with Mr. Zun. Then don't bother me. I've prepared two small gifts here. I'd like to ask Mr. Sheng to do it for you -"

Before he finished speaking, Zhong Xuan Sheng grabbed his arm and led him straight to the side yard: "My cousin is in great physical condition and is not afraid of being disturbed. I just want to see him too. Come on, come together!"
