Fortunately, Jing Yao also knew what to measure, and now this matter of breaking one's sleeves and dividing peaches is not the right way. Especially among the scholar-officials, such rumors would be a devastating blow to their reputation.
When Lu Heng came here, he knew that the intercourse of Yin and Yang is now the norm. He and Jing Yao are now masters and apprentices, and they will be monarchs and ministers in the future. If they do anything rashly, they will face the verbal criticism of the people of the world.
In fact, he has done a good job of himself and Jing Yao in this life, and only accompany him for a lifetime as a pure monarch and minister. Now Jing Yao understands his own thoughts, and did not rashly do anything, he must have considered a lot.
This is not because Jing Yao is worried and fearful, but more for Lu Heng's consideration. The Lu family used to be the clear leader in the world. After Jing Yao ascends the throne in the future, he will definitely want to rehabilitate the Lu family. Then, as the only bloodline of the Lu family, Lu Heng's reputation must not be tainted.
After more than a month of rectification, Jing Yao finally marched his army north to recover the land plundered by the barbarian iron cavalry. As expected before, Jing Yao's army was like a broken bamboo, all the way to attack the surrounding of the capital. It was only when he was about a dozen cities away from the capital that he encountered obstacles.
The barbarian iron cavalry is not a false name. The two armies were at a stalemate in the Liangcheng area.
Now Jing Yao's army is stationed near Yicheng. The distance between Yicheng and Liangcheng is not too far. Liangcheng can't be attacked for a long time. Jing Yao will withdraw the army to the surrounding of Yicheng for a period of time. .
It didn't take much time to capture Yicheng at the beginning. The guard of Yicheng was an old minister of the previous dynasty. When Jing Yao's army was approaching, he directly killed the inspector and welcomed Jing Yao into the city. At that time, the military plane was urgent, and Jing Yao did not stop in Yicheng. Now returning to Yicheng, the guards set up a banquet, saying that they would entertain Jing Yao well.
Neither Jing Yao nor Lu Heng were gullible people. Yicheng was not far from the capital, and was basically the most stable area under the rule of the barbarian dynasty. Although this vigilante is a former official of the previous dynasty, it is still uncertain where his heart is now.
Both Lu Heng were suspicious of this banquet, for fear that there was something strange in it, but Jing Yao had to go to the banquet. Because of the land occupied by Jingyao today, almost half of it is dedicated to the opening of the city gates by the former officials of the previous dynasty. If Jing Yao did not attend this banquet, the reputation of distrusting the old ministers would definitely spread, and he was afraid that there would be waves in the rear.
After the two discussed it, they decided that Lu Heng would accompany Jing Yao to Yicheng for a banquet, and bring a team of elite soldiers to stand by outside the mansion at any time. Lu Heng looked like a standard scribe, and no one around Jing Yao knew that he actually had an exquisite swordsmanship.
In order not to arouse Jing Yao's suspicion, even if this banquet is a Hongmen banquet, it will not use too much battle. In the event of a change, it was more than enough for Lu Heng and Jing Yao to hold out until the elite troops from outside the mansion invaded. If the vigilante really has different intentions, he will just take the plan and take it directly, and take advantage of the situation to completely control Yicheng in Jing Yao's hands, which will be more conducive to the next battle.
What happened after that was as expected. The Guardian of Yicheng was not sincere, and the so-called banquet really had ulterior motives.
At the banquet, the dozen or so dance girls who presented the dance suddenly attacked when they turned to Jing Yao.
Fortunately, Lu Heng and Jing Yao were well prepared, and they both had daggers hidden in their boots. Only when the assassin moved, Jing Yao kicked the food in front of him, and the sturdy mahogany food hit the assassin's waist with a heavy blow. The huge force knocked her to the ground with a few kicks, spitting blood, and she lost her fighting power.
Lu Heng, on the other hand, got up and attacked the guard who wanted to leave quietly. Although the guard was not weak in martial arts, he obviously did not expect that the weak-looking Lu Heng would have an exquisite swordsmanship. He was subdued by Lu Heng with a few tricks.
Seeing that the garrison was restrained, the assassins were a little hesitant to start, but Jing Yao grabbed the gap and took them down one by one.
Things went as smoothly as they planned, but at the last moment an accident happened and Jing Yao was injured. When the elite soldiers from outside the mansion broke in, the garrison officer, who had already been subdued by Lu Heng, suddenly launched an attack.
Lu Heng was furious and kicked the garrison away with one kick. The garrison was seriously injured, and he was immediately suffocated by the kick. Lu Heng didn't bother to pay attention to the guard, he supported Jing Yao anxiously, and reached out to check his injury.
Jing Yao's face was pale, and his hand stopped lightly: "Sir, it's not advisable to stay here for a long time, take me back to the camp first."
Lu Heng briefly explained the handling of the aftermath, and then led Jing Yao to the tent outside the city first. As soon as he entered the tent, Lu Heng ordered the military doctor to come immediately.
When the military doctor came, Jing Yao said, "Sir, the situation is urgent. While the military doctor is treating you, the aftermath will be left to you."
After that, Jing Yao tore off the token from his waist and gave it to Lu Heng.
Lu Heng took the token, knowing that he couldn't be of much help here, and that there was no life-threatening situation in Guanjingyao's situation, so he nodded and walked out of the handsome tent.
The elite soldiers who remained in the city have returned to the camp with the body of the Vindicator and the assassins. Under Lu Heng's careful inspection, he found that there was something unusual at the junction of the guard's face and neck.
Human skin mask? Lu Heng froze in his heart. Sure enough, after removing the mask, a barbaric-looking face was revealed. It turned out that the garrison of Yicheng had been replaced long ago, and everything before was for today's Hongmen banquet.
In this way, the matter is more beneficial to Jing Yao. The person who pretended to be a refugee was a barbarian spy. After this incident broke out, it would not cause turmoil in the hearts of the people behind.
Lu Heng pondered for a while, then summoned many counselors under Jing Yao to discuss today's affairs. What Jing Yao handed over to Lu Heng was a token representing the highest authority of King Chen's power. Seeing this token was like seeing Jing Yao himself. Although those advisors usually fought in secret, but in the event of such a big event, when they saw Lu Heng holding Jing Yao's token, they didn't dare to take it lightly.
After finishing everything, when Lu Heng returned to the tent, the sky was already bright.
When Lu Heng approached the bed, Jing Yao opened his eyes.
Jing Yao waved his hand and asked the military doctor to retreat.
Seeing his clear expression, as if he hadn't slept all night, Lu Heng frowned slightly: "You are seriously injured, why don't you take a good rest."
"Apart from Mr., there are other people on the side of this couch, how can I sleep peacefully." Jing Yao's face was pale, and his words were a little out of breath, and it seemed that he was seriously injured.
Lu Heng stared at Jing Yao and pondered for a while.
Jing Yao felt a little guilty when he saw everything in his eyes.
After a while, Lu Heng said, "Jing Yao, you can avoid it? What plan do you have in your mind to bet on your own safety?"
"I..." Jing Yao knew that these things could not be concealed from Lu Heng, but his real purpose was absolutely impossible to say, "This is just a trick to lure the enemy."
"Then why didn't you discuss it with me beforehand?"
"I'm worried that after you know it, others will see the clues."
Lu Heng thought about it and felt that with his current personality, if he knew that this was Jing Yao's plan, he would indeed find clues because he was too calm. It's normal for Jing Yao to hide it from himself, but for some reason, Lu Heng always felt that the other party's purpose was not only secondary.
"Sir, I am injured now, and many things must be done by others. I know that you are very busy taking care of military affairs for me, but I still want you to stay with me at night and take care of one or two." Jing Yao said. "I can't deliver all the trust except you, the rest, etc."
This is not an excessive request, Lu Heng nodded and agreed.
At this time, the military doctor brought in the boiled medicine, put it on the table respectfully, and then withdrew.
Lu Heng took the cushion and put it behind Jing Yao, and then helped him up to sit. Jing Yao's actions were quite laborious. When he helped him get up, almost half of his body was hanging on Lu Heng.
After Lu Heng brought the medicine, Jing Yao helplessly smiled bitterly: "I'm full of qi and blood now, and my hands are weak, please sir..."
Before he finished speaking, Lu Heng knew what he meant.
The man on the bed is now a wounded person, Lu Heng didn't bother, he lifted the corner of his robe and sat on the edge of the bed, feeding Jing Yao the medicine spoon by spoon.
All of a sudden, the room was full of emotions. The bowl of medicine quickly bottomed out, and when Jing Yao saw the bottom of the white porcelain bowl, there was a look of unsatisfactory expression on his face.
Lu Heng thought it was funny, but he didn't show the slightest bit on his face. He put the empty bowl on the table and started to clean up the clothes that he had changed to Jing Yao.
Seeing Lu Heng's actions, Jing Yao panicked: "Sir! You don't need to do these trivial matters!"
It's too late.
Lu Heng squeezed the soft gold armor in his hand, and his tone was slightly cool: "I remember this soft gold armor, but it is invulnerable to swords and bullets."
After all, he looked at the bright spot again, and sure enough, only a small hole was found on the soft armor. Based on the size of the crack, Jing Yao's wound was at most a flesh wound.
"..." Jing Yao was annoyed, why did he forget to put away the pile of clothes.
Lu Heng dropped the clothes in his hands and knelt on the bed on one knee.
"First, sir..."
Lu Heng ignored him, raised his hand and took off Jing Yao's shirt. It was found on his abdomen, wrapped in a white bandage, with blood on it.
"This play is realistic." Lu Heng said, "Tell me, why did you hide it from me?"
Jing Yao smiled guiltily, seeing that Lu Heng had already guessed everything, so he no longer struggled: "I don't mean anything to you, sir, I just want you to feel sorry for me. I always wanted to relive the time I took care of, so I decided to do this."
Lu Heng stared at Jing Yao for a moment, and finally smiled helplessly, and reprimanded softly: "Nonsense."
Another few years passed.
The Taiming Palace in the capital finally welcomed back his original master. The barbarians were brutal, and King Chen led a large army to drive them out of the customs all the way before returning to Beijing. On the day when the army triumphed, all the people in the capital held hands in celebration.
The army that returned with honors stopped in front of the Taiming Palace gate, and the heavy palace gate was slowly pushed open.
Lu Heng didn't like such noisy occasions, so he sat in the carriage all the way. He only felt that the carriage suddenly stopped, and then he heard Jing Yao's voice coming from outside the carriage.
"gentlemen."
He opened the curtain and took a look, and saw the well-defined profile of the young man.
"Sir, do you see the tower in front of you? This is the place with the highest view in the capital. You can see all the scenery of the capital." Jing Yao bent down and leaned over to Lu Heng's ear, "In the future, you and I will spend our free time. At that time, it must be interesting to see the lights of all the houses in Kyoto from this tower."
Lu Heng laughed in a low voice, and said with a little joking: "The person who will be by your side in the future should be the wife who will accompany you for the rest of your life."
"There is no queen, no wife, only you, sir."
"Are you trying to marry a man?"
In the past few years of war, Lu Heng and Jing Yao lived and died together. Although they did not resort to words, they still had the same heart.
"No, how can I put you in such a situation where you are criticized by the officials, how can a person like a gentleman, a gentleman, and a man like a gentleman be nailed to the pillar of shame in history. Famous ministers through the ages, the leader of the world's clear stream , is the reputation that Mr. deserves." Jing Yao smiled, "However, I will not let go of your hand."
After a long time, Lu Heng knew what Jing Yao meant by this, and also understood another purpose of pretending to be injured.
above the history books. Emperor Chen Yi drove away the barbarian iron cavalry who were tyrannical and bloodthirsty, and saved the people from the fire and water. After ascending the throne, he tried his best to govern, diligent in government affairs, and cleaned up the chaotic empire. Lay a solid foundation for the prosperous century of future generations. This emperor, whether on the history books or in the unofficial history, hardly leaves any stains.
Except one thing.
That should also be the most regrettable thing for this ancient emperor, he did not leave any children. At the beginning of the battle with the barbarian iron cavalry, Emperor Chen Yi was assassinated and was seriously injured. After that, he lost the ability to inherit the lineage. This Ming Jun can be said to be extremely enlightened, and he bluntly said that he did not want to delay the life of innocent women, saying that he would not marry a wife.
In the end, he selected several talented and intelligent children from the clan, raised them carefully, and finally chose the most outstanding one to inherit the throne.
The first imperial edict issued by Emperor Chen Yi after he ascended the throne was to rehabilitate Lu Han, the leader of the Qingliu of that year. Throughout his life, he had great respect for his teacher, and whenever matters related to the military were involved, he had to discuss with Prime Minister Lu. Emperor Chen Yi and Prime Minister Lu, this pair of wise and worthy ministers, are also passed down through the ages.
According to official history, Emperor Chen Yi died on × day × year, and on the same day, Lu Xiang died. According to unofficial history, these two are Xingjun in the sky and his auxiliary star who came down to earth, in order to save the people from water and fire. Now that they have completed their mission, they will return to their positions at the same time.
