The night fell heavily.
The mountain is no better than Jing Wang's Mansion, and when the sky is dark, the lights will be flashed around, illuminating the surrounding area brightly. As soon as it got dark, it went dark all around, and insects screamed in the grass gradually, and the stars all over the sky also appeared on the sky.
However, the sound of horseshoes in the forest also rang.
Jiang Suizhou naturally didn't have the excellent ear power of Huo Wujiu, and he only felt quiet all around, except for the sound of gurgling water and the sound of insects in the grass.
He talked with Huo Wujiao but not the other. It was all insignificant gossip, but Jiang Suizhou's lips were involuntarily raised, as if this kind of not very interesting waiting was an interesting thing for him.
He thought, maybe because it was something he never dared to think about.
People who study history, how dare to imagine that one day they will be able to have a face-to-face conversation with people from thousands of years ago? The hero, who is well-known in history and well-known to women and children, sits next to him and talks about how his father Huo Laohou relied heavily on his erudite military adviser. The book is about to doze off.
Jiang Suizhou slowly raised his eyes.
In the soft night breeze, the sky full of stars was reflected in his eyes.
It's so beautiful.
He wanted to turn his head to look at Huo Wujiu, but for some reason, he suddenly developed a kind of fear that was close to nostalgia. Obviously, he had seen the person in his mind so many times, but now he didn't dare to look at him directly.
It's like looking at it more and you will say something you shouldn't say and do something irrational.
He raised his eyes and looked at the stars in the sky quietly, listening to Huo Wujiu's lazy voice beside him.
However, at this moment, Huo Wujiu slowly stopped talking and didn't say anything.
Afterwards, Jiang Suizhou turned his head to the side, and saw Huo Wujiu's gradually condensing profile in the darkness.
Jiang Suizhou asked hurriedly: "What's the matter?"
Huo Wujiu stood up and said in a low voice, "Someone is here."
As he said, he looked around and made sure that there was no trace of a second person around, and he whispered to Jiang Suizhou: "Just according to what I told you today, it won't show up."
Jiang Suizhou responded quickly.
Huo Wujiu raised his eyes and looked up, and sure enough, in the very far place, a little bit of fire gradually lit up, and it should be the Ouchi guard who came to search for people.
"They are crowded and crowded, and they won't do anything to you," he said.
Jiang Suizhou said: "Then you..."
"I'll go back and wait for you." Huo Wujiu whispered.
Jiang Suizhou looked at him nervously and nodded.
I saw Huo Wujiao picking up his sword from the spot again and handing it to him: "Let this go, I'm leaving."
Jiang Suizhou gave a hum, holding the sword in his hand, but didn't move, his eyes seemed to want to move, but he didn't succeed. He only looked up at him, and for a while, he looked a little eager.
Huo Wujiu's legs, which were accustomed to light work, also seemed a little heavy.
He paused, leaned down, put his hands on the back of Jiang Suizhou's neck, and squeezed gently.
"Don't be afraid," he said.
Then, before Jiang Suizhou nodded, he raised his eyes and took a look in the forest. At one point, only a few shots turned into a black shadow and disappeared in the other direction.
Jiang Suizhou stared in that direction for a moment before he came back to his senses.
Huo Wujiu has always done things neatly and carefully. At this moment, there was no trace of him around him, and no one would believe that there was originally another person here.
If it weren't for the temperature of Huo Wujiu's palm remaining on the back of his neck, even Jiang Suizhou would have this illusion.
He didn't know how he felt a sense of sorrow in his heart. He was inexplicably aware that the two would see each other again soon.
But…
He raised his eyes to the starry sky.
When there is no moon tonight, the stars will be especially shining.
But they are nothing more than stars. It is the same for one thousand years and two thousand years.
Jiang Suizhou withdrew his gaze with a lack of interest, and raised his eyes to look at the approaching fire and shout in the forest.
—
Ji Hongcheng admitted that he hated King Jing very much.
He followed General Lou, and he often went to Yangguan with General Lou in his early years, and he had a deep friendship with Old Master Huo. Old Hou Ye is straightforward, his only son Huo Wujiu is a talented person, and he has no deep feelings for the Huo family.
However, like General Lou, the Huo family rebelled, and they were just outsiders. In terms of love, they are close friends with the Huo family, but their grievances with the court are the family affair of their Huo family. In theory, they are the subjects of the Jing Dynasty. As subjects, especially military commanders, being unfaithful to the monarch is the biggest taboo.
Therefore, neither he nor General Lou participated in the Huo family uprising, but they were somewhat awkward in their hearts.
Especially in the past few years, the imperial court has become faint, especially in the past few years when Pang Shao is in power, all discerning people have seen it. Beiliang's awe-inspiring awe-inspiring is like the rising sun, while their Nanjing, the entire imperial court is ruined.
And these are all Ji Hongcheng can bear.
However, the only son left by Mr. Huo was actually defeated and captured. The emperor was absurd. He didn't kill him or imprison him. He actually married him to that vicious and perverted King Jing as a concubine.
Ridiculous and shameful, let Ji Hongcheng sit on pins and needles.
It is precisely because of this that he hates King Jing, and especially hates his triumphant face when he humiliates Huo Wugui. Therefore, in the past few months, he blatantly delivered a letter to Prince Jing's Mansion. The letter contained few important words, but it was all cursing King Jing.
but…
To say how much I hate King Jing, I don't seem to have any.
Xu was because at the palace banquet that day, Huo Wujiu actually got the opportunity to give him news, so that he realized that the letter had actually been sent to Huo Wujiu, which made him feel more or less disgusted with King Jing. a bit.
Naturally, I don't really want him to die.
However, when he heard about the causes and consequences of King Jing's disappearance, Ji Hongcheng felt lost.
Just the skin of King Jing that fell as soon as the wind blows, let Crazy Horse take it into the forest, and didn't come out for a whole day. It must be a blessing to be able to leave a whole body.
Ji Hongcheng's mood was a little heavy, but the order was placed on his head, and he would naturally see people dead or corpses. Even if King Jing didn't live, he would have to find his corpse.
However, he did not expect...
This King Jing was so fateful.
He led people to search from dusk until late at night, and unexpectedly found King Jing by a stream in the forest.
King Jing sprained his foot and sat there unable to move. When he saw them coming, he blacked his face and asked how they came so late.
Ji Hongcheng could only be surprised.
This King Jing was... only slightly injured
He looked King Jing up and down, and stood there stupidly riding a horse, staring straight at him.
Jiang Suizhou had nothing to say.
He was still a little nervous until he saw Ji Hongcheng, and he didn't feel relieved.
This person is not a Pang Dang, even if he hates himself, he will never kill himself on the spot and throw his corpse into the wilderness.
It can also be seen that the post master and Pang Shao have already determined that they will die here today.
However, although this Ji Hongcheng person is good, he is a bit silly. He stared at Jiang Suizhou in a daze, making him uneasy to act like a traitor.
The man was dumbfounded, "Why didn't you die" almost written on his black and ugly face like a portrait of Zhong Kui.
Jiang Suizhou sighed secretly.
"Master Ji." He reminded Ji Hongcheng coldly. "This king is not dead, are you disappointed?"
Ji Hongcheng came back to his senses.
He didn't admit it, but he didn't deny it either. After all, although he really didn't want Jiang Suizhou to die, he really didn't like him much.
"His Royal Highness Jing is joking." He arched his hand on the horse, his expression terribly arrogant. "The minister ordered the prince to return to the camp. Come here, don’t you help the prince on the horse?"
Jiang Suizhou was supported by the surrounding Ouchi guards, sat on the horse, and was slowly came back all the way.
At this time, the palace palace in the mountains was full of joy and excitement.
The dull Ji Hongcheng was taken to King Jing to collect his body, so the emperor would still win the top spot. No one mentioned Ji Hongcheng's words, that he was not the right person. At this time, the banquet was full of delicacies and scrambled crowds, all celebrating the emperor's harvest today.
Then the Lord and Pang Shao, as well as those who knew it, also knew that after the joy, there was another meaning.
The thorn in the emperor's eyes was finally pulled out.
Therefore, the postmaster was happy, even with Pang Shao, and inevitably drank a few more glasses. After drinking and eating, the queen leaned in the beauty's arms, drunkly looking at the night outside the temple, with a smile on his face.
Huang Kao likes that enchanting concubine so much, so he let the enchanting concubine go down to accompany him; their family can't fail to reunite, so today, today, he will send their most beloved child to accompany him.
The master smiled and drank another glass with drunken eyes.
But at this moment, he saw the crowd gradually appearing in the night.
Gradually, the lively hall quieted down.
Everyone looked out the door.
I saw King Jing limping, supported by a servant on the side, slowly walking up the long steps, and Ji Hongcheng who followed behind him, his extremely black face was full of joy waiting to be rewarded.
Everyone watched King Jing walk in, his robe was damaged and stained with dust, they looked very embarrassed, but the people were spirited.
He stopped in the hall and bowed to the queen and saluted.
"My minister is late, please forgive me from Brother Huang." He said.
Pang Shao's complexion changed drastically, and the golden cup in the hands of the master fell to the ground with a cry.
—
Pang Shao ignored other things, said a word to change his clothes, and got up and walked out of the hall.
Outside the hall, his servants stood trembling in the shadows, waiting for him to come to question.
"How could this be so!" Pang Shao lowered his voice, glared, and asked harshly.
The man hurriedly said: "Master, the minion doesn't know! King Jing did go in that direction. The minion sent a few more people just in case, even with Tang Gui! But..."
"But what?" Pang Shao gritted his teeth. "But, King Jing came back unscathed?"
The man trembled and whispered: "And... the person we sent, even with Tang Gui... didn't come back."
There was a terrible silence.
"Tang Gui didn't come back?" Pang Shao's voice gradually calmed down, but it became more and more creepy.
The man dared not speak anymore.
Over the years, the master has to eliminate dissidents, and there are some things that can't be done clearly. The master spent so many years of energy, smashing in money like flowing water, and cultivating so many assassins.
Among them, Tang Gui is the most outstanding and the most powerful one.
But now, even Tang Gui...
"Okay." He heard Pang Shao gritted his teeth.
This person hurriedly raised his eyes and saw that his master was standing in the shadow outside the temple, his complexion so heavy that water dripped.
"It's Jiang Suizhou who has the ability." Pang Shao said.
"Send people quickly and go right away. One group will be sent to the forest to find the traces and corpses, another group..."
Pang Shao raised his eyes and looked inside the hall.
I saw that the light was bright and warm, and its magnificence seemed like a fairy palace. King Jing was standing there upright, his back was slender, and although he was dressed in embarrassment, his whole body was like a god-man.
Pang Shao sneered.
"While someone else is here, immediately send someone to follow me to his courtyard. Today, I must search for the cause from him."
