Zeng Jiyun hung her head and slowly sat down on the couch, fiddling with her little hands silently, with a pitiful look on her face."
Ji Yun, did you hear it outside the door just now" Qiao Zhiqing got up and sat down opposite Zeng Jiyun, and held her little hand with pity."
Brother Qiao, I just heard you say that you are going to march into Yunnan.Are you going to fight my ninth uncle again?"
Zeng Jiyun raised his cheeks pitifully."
Ji Yun, this letter was given back to me by your ninth uncle.In fact, not long ago, I sent a letter to your ninth uncle to discuss peace talks with him.Your ninth uncle also promised you and me to get married, but he put forward a harsh condition. ”Qiao Zhiqing handed the letter in his hand to Zeng Jiyun with some helplessness."
Brother Qiao, what conditions did my ninth uncle mention, didn't you say that for my sake, anything can be discussed with him" Zeng Jiyun took his hand, his eyes full of pleading."
Yes, but this condition is not negotiable.He can ask for money, he can ask for people, he can ask for guns and cannons.But what he wants is land, what he wants is sovereignty, and he wants me to cede Yungui to him twice.There is no way to talk about sovereignty, this is the bottom line of a country. ”Qiao Zhiqing's expression froze, and there was no room for negotiation at all.Zeng Jiyun opened the secret letter, picked up Uncle Jiu's handwritten letter, looked at the familiar handwriting on it, and couldn't help but cry sadly.The past came to mind, as if returning to the time when his father and Qiao Zhiqing were fighting.I just feel that fate repeatedly makes people, and it is always not as good as people want."
Is there no way to do this anymore?"
Zeng Jiyun begged with a glimmer of hope."
That's not it, there is still a very lucrative condition to avoid the sword and soldier meeting, but your ninth uncle will definitely not agree.Ji Yun, your ninth uncle has already been proclaimed emperor.It is almost impossible for him to give up his position and negotiate peace with me. ”Qiao Zhiqing held her in his arms, full of pity for this little girl."
That's it, Brother Qiao, didn't you send troops three days later, you asked me to persuade my ninth uncle, he likes me so much, he will definitely listen to me.You can give me your terms, and I'll talk to him. ”Zeng Jiyun cried in Qiao Zhiqing's arms for a long time, and suddenly a bold idea popped into his head."
How can this be, now that your father is gone, people go to tea and cool.Even if Zeng Guoquan is willing to let go, his son will not agree, and you Zeng clan people will not agree. ”Qiao Zhiqing hurriedly replied and refused."
Brother Qiao, don't worry, my ninth uncle has always treated me like a daughter.What are the conditions you gave him, can you tell me" Zeng Jiyun, who had always had no opinions before, became firm this time."
This" Qiao Zhiqing hesitated, struggling in his heart.Absolute power can make people crazy, including family affection."
Brother Qiao, I beg you, just let me try it once.I have lost my father and don't want to lose my ninth uncle again. ”Zeng Jiyun took his hand, and his eyes widened pitifully."
Come here, I'll introduce you."
Qiao Zhiqing took her little hand and stood still in front of the topographic map, although there was only a glimmer of hope, but Qiao Zhiqing suddenly wanted to give it a try."
What are the drawings in this circle, where does Zeng Jiyun know the map, and his eyes are almost spent."
This map represents the whole of China, you look at these two rivers, the top is the Yellow River, and the bottom is the Yangtze River."
Qiao Zhiqing patiently explained to her, and when she reacted, he continued, "Look at this circle, this is Nanjing, where we stand." ”"It turns out that Nanjing looks like this" Zeng Jiyun exclaimed curiously, it was the first time he looked at the city so intuitively."
Look here, this is where your ninth uncle is in Yunnan."
Qiao Zhiqing pointed to the southwesternmost place on the topographic map."
This place is much bigger than Nanjing, no wonder you are reluctant to give it to my ninth uncle" Zeng Jiyun spat out playfully, and the entanglement in his heart was temporarily covered by curiosity."
Listen carefully."
Qiao Zhiqing was amused by her, and pointed to the place below Yunnan and continued, "This place is called Myanmar, and it is a vassal state of our China.The area is a little smaller than Yunnan, but it is also a good place.Yunnan can't be assigned to your ninth uncle, but this place can.I will draw up a detailed set of terms for peace talks for you later, as long as your ninth uncle accepts it.This Myanmar will be your ninth uncle's in the future. ”"Really, Brother Qiao, you didn't lie to me" Zeng Jiyun looked at the area of Myanmar, which is also many times larger than Nanjing.Xiao Nizi always thought that Nanjing was the largest place in the world, and Myanmar was so big, so Uncle Nine would be happy to accept it."
No, I'll explain it to your ninth uncle.In the future, China will be a big federal empire, and there will be many such states.As long as your ninth uncle accepts the above conditions, everything can be negotiable. ”Qiao Zhiqing briefly introduced, and said too much, Zeng Jiyun didn't understand it."
Okay, then you can write quickly, I will leave for Yunnan today."
Zeng Jiyun was a little impatient, she hadn't seen her family for so long.The thought of seeing Uncle Nine and his sister made his little heart jump out in a hurry."
Okay, then I'll try again for the sake of Miss Zeng's happiness."
Qiao Zhiqing sighed helplessly, there was no way to take Zeng Jiyun.I knew that there was no hope in this matter, but in order to make this girl die, I tried it once.By the way, give Zeng Guoquan a wake-up call, leave the back road to him, and in the future, he will not let the Hunan army break the cauldron and fight to the death."
Brother Qiao is so good, I knew you would have a way."
Zeng Jiyun was so excited that she immediately leaned in and gave a kiss, turned around and went back to the house to pack up her salute.Qiao Zhiqing chuckled and shook his head, and after sitting down at the desk, he described the future Federal Republic of Great China to Zeng Guoquan in detail, with Myanmar as a condition in exchange.If Zeng Guofan was willing to withdraw his troops from Burma, the Huaxing army would withdraw and make peace, and hand over the Burmese state to Zeng Guoquan for management.If you insist on resisting, you can only win or lose on the battlefield."
Brother Qiao, I'm ready."
Zeng Jiyun finished packing up the salute, excitedly changed into the former brocade robe, and turned around in front of Qiao Zhiqing."
Okay, you have taken this official document, and when you arrive in Yunnan, you will hand it over to your ninth uncle.If you can persuade you, you can persuade you, and if you can't persuade you, you will come back immediately.Ji Yun, Brother Qiao can't live without you. ”Qiao Zhiqing handed the official document to Zeng Jiyun, stepped forward and caressed Zeng Jiyun's little face, and hugged her tightly in his arms."
Brother Qiao, I can't bear you either.Don't worry, I'll be back soon.If my ninth uncle had changed his mind, we would have gotten married immediately. ”Zeng Jiyun laughed sweetly, although she felt very uncomfortable, she still forcibly left Qiao Zhiqing's embrace.She knew in her heart that if there was no blessing from her relatives.Even if he marries Qiao Zhiqing, he will not be truly happy."
Okay, you wait a minute.I'll arrange for my own soldiers to escort you to Yunnan. ”Qiao Zhiqing nodded, went out immediately, and asked Huang Feihong to select a team of Fire Wolf Special Operations Team members and escort Zeng Jiyun to Yunnan.The captain of the pro-soldier was Wang Wu, and not long after he came to the presidential palace, he was promoted to the position of captain by virtue of his refined martial arts.Zeng Jiyun went to Yunnan this time and took the ironclad small steamer dedicated to Qiao Zhiqing.It is equipped with expeditionary machine guns and artillery runs, and even if you encounter bandits, it is enough to deal with them.According to the speed of the steam freighter, it can reach Dali in two days.It was getting dark, and Qiao Zhiqing was reviewing the official documents for a day in the study, and his stomach finally couldn't help but growl."
Ji Yun, go to the kitchen and get some food" Qiao Zhiqing habitually shouted outside the door, but no one answered for a long time, and then he suddenly remembered that Zeng Jiyun had left him.I couldn't help but sigh in frustration, "Master, what do you have to tell Miko Abe happened to be on duty outside the door at this time, and when she heard Qiao Zhiqing's voice, she hurriedly entered the house and asked.""
Oh, it's okay, you go to the kitchen and get something to eat."
Qiao Zhiqing replied a little dejectedly, staring at the topographic map on the wall and starting to be stunned again."
Yes, sir."
Meizi replied sweetly, seeing Qiao Zhiqing's lonely appearance, a flash of inspiration flashed in her head.After a while, Qiao Zhiqing smelled a strange smell of rice, and he had never smelled this fragrance before."
Sir, the meals are all ready for you."
Miko shouted at the door, smiling mysteriously on her face."
Meizi, what kind of food have you prepared, why is it so fragrant Qiao Zhiqing smelled the fragrance and went out, and saw that the table was full of large plates and small plates, all of which were dishes that he had never seen before."

Brother Qiao, you taste it first, see if it's delicious."
Miko waited for him to sit down at the round table and set the dishes in turn."
This is Japanese food" Qiao Zhiqing looked at the table full of novel dishes, although he had never eaten Japanese food, but he still looked almost familiar.Japanese cuisine, like the Japanese nation, is very delicate and delicate.Each dish is made like a work of art."
Yes, Brother Qiao guessed right.This is sushi, this is teriyaki beef, this is sashimi platter, this is peony shrimp, and that is miso soup" Miko smiled sweetly, and introduced the dishes to Qiao Zhiqing."
This is all made by you" Qiao Zhiqing tasted the sushi, which was fragrant and refreshing, very delicious."
Hey, sir, I made it for you myself, is it delicious" Miko's eyes widened in anticipation."
Very good, better than I imagined, it seems that the old man's promise to you is going to be fulfilled."
Qiao Zhiqing smiled, and suddenly remembered what happened before the crossing.As soon as he was discharged from the army, his girlfriend asked him to eat Japanese food.However, Qiao Zhiqing has always been prejudiced against Japan and is proud to boycott Japanese products.The two also quarreled about it, and now that I think about it, it's really plain funny.The most important thing is that his girlfriend is exactly the same as Zeng Jiyun, thinking of this, Qiao Zhiqing's heart suddenly became lost again."
Great, sir.You can rest assured, I will definitely make Japanese cuisine the most famous restaurant in Nanjing. ”Meizi happily hugged Qiao Zhiqing's arm, her eyes narrowed into a crescent shape, and she was coquettish, very cute and cute.Qiao Zhiqing's heart suddenly moved, he didn't know if it was loneliness or emptiness, and his fingers couldn't help but caress Miko's pretty face
