On the night of the victory over the city, the ninth prince led the army to return from Kaifeng by detour.
Seeing Le Zhengming who was standing at the entrance of the barracks to greet him, he immediately turned over and dismounted, patted the other's shoulder and laughed, and praised the bravery and fearlessness of the frontier soldiers.
The more friendly he behaved, the more alert Le Zhengming felt in his heart, and he cupped his hands unceremoniously and said, "Ninth Highness, the last commander received your letter of help before, and immediately ordered troops to rescue him, but he was ambushed by the Jie tribe. It can be seen that they have already figured out the movements of the last general. The last general suspects that our army has spies, and he and the Jie people should cooperate with each other..."
The ninth prince raised his hand, blocked Le Zhengming's words, and waved his sleeves carelessly.
So Xu Hui, who was tied up with five flowers, was escorted by two soldiers and knelt on the ground.
Unexpectedly, Xu Hui, who was used as a scapegoat by the ninth prince, looked at Le Zhengming, thinking that he once knelt in front of the other party and vowed to always be loyal to his country and the people, but he lost himself in the desire for power and violated his original intention. , could not help but shed two lines of tears of remorse.
But he has no way out now. His parents, wife and children are all in the hands of the ninth prince. If he doesn't die, the whole family will die.
"General Lezheng, it was the last general who covets power and is obsessed with his mind, and colluded with the Jie people to kill you, so he should die." He gritted his teeth and covered all the charges, then slammed his head to the ground.
The dull sound was accompanied by a slight vibration, and then, a pool of blood was drawn from around Xu Hui's head. In a kneeling posture, he died in front of Le Zhengming, and in front of all the soldiers. He pleaded guilty.
The second Huai and others originally hated him to death, but seeing him leave so decisively, they gritted their teeth and turned their heads, and they couldn't bear it in their hearts. After all, this man is the brother who lived and died with them...
Le Zhengming had long expected that Xu Hui would seek death quickly, but he did not stop it. When the other party makes such a maddening choice, they should be prepared to bear all the consequences.
However, when the blood covered the ground and dyed it crimson, the ice on his face quickly melted, and he gently gathered the little curly hair standing beside him into his arms, covered the eyes of the other party with his big palm, and softly tempted him. Coax: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Zhuang Li grabbed the corner of Le Zhengming's robe, nodded obediently, and took small steps to drill into the other's arms, looking weak like a lost animal.
7480 thought of the sturdy scene where the host smeared the blood of the dead on his face and moved corpses on his body, he couldn't help sneering in his heart: Damn big devil, and pretending to be sweet in front of Le Zhengming. I bother!
The ninth prince lowered his eyes and looked at Xu Hui's cold body, shook his head and sighed, "For the sake of power, he betrayed his comrades and abandoned his family and the common people. This man really deserves to die. Come, drag his body out. Le. General, are you satisfied that I treat you like this?"
Le Zhengming pulled the little curly hair behind him, bowed his hands slightly, and did not speak. To betray his comrades and abandon his family and the common people, isn't this what the Ninth Prince himself said
I'd rather be the world's people than the world's people to blame me. The ninth prince's mind is even more vicious than Le Zheng's meditation looks like.
"Cousin, long time no see, how have you been?" The ninth prince's indifferent gaze moved away from Le Zhengming and looked at Zhuang Li.
Zhuang Li also slightly bowed his hands and did not speak.
He did not find that his every move had traces of imitating his lover. After two people have been together for a long time, their eyes, expressions, movements, and preferences will gradually converge. This is the old saying about the husband and wife.
Seeing the young man with the same expression, actions, and clothes as Le Zhengming's, the Ninth Prince's eyes darkened, and he had already given up the idea of wooing the other party. How long has it been? Zhuang Li had already cultivated an extraordinary tacit understanding with Le Zhengming, and he was afraid that it would be difficult for the two of them to separate.
Well, let it go.
Thinking of this, the ninth prince gathered all the soldiers and said that they would discuss the military plan.
Zhuang Li has no official or half a post yet, so he can only stand outside and wait.
There are stars shining in the sky, making the night beautiful and extraordinary, but the people who died on this continent are probably more than the stars in the sky.
Zhuang Li raised his head and looked up at the starry sky, with a determined light in his eyes. War will certainly kill a lot of people, but if there is no war, how can this land usher in peace? Kindness and showing weakness can never stop killing, only killing can stop killing.
Everything he will do in the future may make this land more riddled with holes, but after the short pain, the spring of the recovery of all things will be ushered in.
He wants to change the world, he wants to protect this land, just because his lover is the god of this land.
Thinking of this, Zhuang Li couldn't help but chuckle.
"Why do you think you are so happy?" A warm voice came from behind him, and then, a handsome young man stepped forward slowly and said with a smile, "You lied to me and Daddy so hard. Who I can guess that the arrogant and domineering, ignorant of literary and calligraphy, Mr. Zhuang Xiaohou, turned out to be a genius with great ingenuity."
"You really won the battle of Guandu beautifully," the young man turned to Zhuang Li and asked in a low voice, "I just wonder if you can deal with the Mongols?"
His face was full of pure curiosity, as if he was just asking casually, without any malice.
Zhuang Li looked back at him without hesitation, and the corners of his lips curled slightly: "You know if you've beaten it?"
Zhuang Xu slapped his palms lightly and said with admiration: "You are very bold. For so many years, my father and I have not noticed your disguise at all. How old did you start guarding us?"
Zhuang Li tapped his temples and smiled mysteriously: "I said I was born to know it, do you believe it?"
No matter what, Zhuang Xu never expected that Zhuang Li would say such shocking words. Born to know, how is this possible? Did he think he was a saint
Probably tired of such spying, Zhuang Li shook his head and chuckled, turned to leave, only to find Zhuang Ran standing five meters away, looking at this side with an obscure gaze. He obviously heard the words just now, with obvious surprise on his face.
Zhuang Li nodded and smiled at the other party, and walked away.
Zhuang Ran stood stiffly in place for a while before he spoke in a hoarse voice: "The eldest princess is right, Zhuang Li is really extraordinary. He didn't come up to fight me with red eyes, he didn't complain to me with tears, and he didn't pretend Turn a blind eye to me, in the aspect of xinxing, he is slightly better than you."
Zhuang Ran looked at his favorite son with deep eyes, and asked, "If you were Zhuang Li, would you be able to smile so gently and naturally when you saw me?"
Zhuang Xu thought silently in his heart, and his face turned pale. He couldn't do it, not only that, he might have collapsed long ago.
As a child, he felt that he was smarter and more capable than Zhuang Li, and he was the most favored by his father, so he always had a hidden sense of superiority in his heart. But now, when he suddenly realized that Zhuang Li was not really stupid, but pretended to be stupid, and played him around for so many years, this sense of superiority turned into the deepest irony.
Zhuang Xu covered his chest, feeling terrible.
Zhuang Ran gently patted his son on the shoulder, silently comforting him.
Just at this moment, Le Zhengming came out of the Ninth Prince's tent with a big knife, followed by a group of people in Wuyangyang, all with red eyes and blue smoke on their heads, obviously too angry.
Across the swaying curtain, Zhuang Ran found that the Nine Prince's table was split in half, and the ink, ink, ink, and ink fell all over the floor. Thinking about it, Le Zhengming actually moved the knife under his rage.
"The matter of Jindi is done." Zhuang Ran said inaudibly: "Xuer don't worry, Zhuang Li will die soon."
"I want to have a real fight with him." Zhuang Xu raised his head, his eyes were red, and his inner demons were actually aroused by his unwillingness.
"Don't say these outrageous words. If you can kill the enemy without killing the enemy, why do you need to do it yourself? You are porcelain, he is rubble, how can he compare with you." Zhuang Ran comforted his son extremely patiently, but I don't know how funny it would be to say this.
The eldest princess is golden branches and jade leaves, and the children born are half the blood of the royal family, but in Zhuang Ran's eyes, they are not even as good as a concubine born of a foot-washing maid.

When Le Zhengming returned to the camp, Zhuang Li was quickly flipping through the piles of books, trying to understand everything about this land in the shortest possible time.
"All right?" he asked without looking up.
"That's it." Le Zhengming put the big knife on the table, and said solemnly: "As you said, the more angry and unwilling I behaved, the more the ninth prince insisted on sending me to rescue Jin. For this reason, he even invited out the emperor's sword of Shang Fang, and also allowed me to take all the personal soldiers under my command. We will set off in three days."
"Then let's play with the gun for a while, and then set it up." Zhuang Li put the book aside, smiling with interest.
"Playing with guns?" Le Zhengming was stunned.
"Yeah, don't you want to play?" Zhuang Li stood up and unbuttoned his clothes slowly.
After hesitating for a moment, Le Zhengming said helplessly, "Let's play for a while." Then he walked over to the weapon rack and drew out a long spear.
Zhuang Li, who had already taken off his robe and was about to continue taking off his robe: "..."
Knowing how much the host likes to play with guns, 7480: "...Pfft hahaha." The broken arm doesn't seem to be so painful anymore!
Zhuang Li stood for a while before slowly sitting back to his original position, holding his cheeks, smilingly looking at his lover who had deliberately shown his strength. Let him play with guns, and he really plays with guns. Although it is a bit confusing, it is also a little too cute.
Le Zhengming was seen by the little curly hair, and he was hot all over.
Zhuang Li clapped on the table and laughed loudly, "Fool, what I said about playing with a gun is the same as what you said about placement. Do you only have a gun on you?" As he spoke, his eyes fell on someone .
Le Zhengming followed his line of sight and looked down, and his ears burned red. He gritted his teeth and hooked his lips for a while, but he didn't know whether to be angry or to laugh. Finally, he threw the long gun, strode to the table, carried the little curly hair on his shoulder, and hurried into the inner room, "I will accompany him. You play with guns."
His hoarse voice was swallowed up by Zhuang Li's eager kiss.

Le Zhengming's 150,000 personal soldiers successfully crossed the border and came to the city of Ye in the state of Jin.
The monarch of Jin, like the new emperor, has no other advantages except for being ruthless and murderous. The Zhongliang around him were all mutilated cleanly, and all those left behind were ill-conceived and arrogant people.
The brave generals of Jin State were killed by him in various names, and the people who helped him guard the country were all aliens.
Aliens will also annex and nibble on each other. The victorious side will continue to conquer cities and lands, and the defeated side will look for a nearby country to take refuge in. The Han people and the foreign races are not only distinct, but also integrated with each other, so this is the most chaotic era, and it is also an era that builds on the past and ushered in the future.
In order to defend against the 150,000 Mongolian iron cavalry, the monarch of Jin convened an army of 450,000 people, which seemed to be strong, but the worst thing was that these 450,000 people were composed of large and small alien remnants. Jin was not loyal at all, and was very wild and untamed.
Such a miscellaneous army, on the battlefield, I am afraid that it will soon be dispersed by the Mongols, and then divided and strangled.
For this reason, the monarch of Jin completely pinned his hope of victory on the 150,000 personal soldiers brought by Le Zhengming. If Le Zhengming and the Mongols can kill both sides, he will be able to pick up a big bargain for nothing.
Zhuang Li looked at the topographic map and the relevant battle reports, and said decisively: "We are only responsible for commanding your army, and we will not send one soldier or one soldier. The battle can be fought, but none of our comrades can die."
