When Geng Shu returned to Jiang Heng's dormitory, he saw Jie Gui lying behind the screen, paying attention to Jiang Heng's subtle movements on the couch at any time, and when he saw that he was back, he gave him a "shh".
"I just took the medicine and fell asleep again."
Geng Shu stepped forward silently, checked the wound where Jiang Heng had changed the medicine, drank the remaining half bowl of rice soup, and fell asleep on the couch.
Prince Taki's ears were full of blood, and he wrapped a white cloth around his face, and the blood was finally stopped.
When the Zheng army attacked the ancestral temple, the ronin assassin killed the two guards in front of him, and cut off his ears with another sword. Fortunately, Geng Shu arrived in time, otherwise the knife in Sun Ying's hand With a single tap, Prince Taki's head can be cut off flat.
"Where's Brother ?" Prince Taki asked, enduring the severe pain.
Traveling around to adjust the medicine, he said: "He... must be busy. The three clan troops are still stationed in the city. We have less than ten thousand people now, Your Highness."
Inside the palace, in Luoyan City, there is a mess as far as the eyes can see. The officials in the palace are resuming government affairs at the fastest speed. They need to count the number of casualties in this battle, provide compensation to soldiers, bury corpses, appease the foreign coalition forces, and repair the collapsed city wall.
"Where's your father?" Prince Taki asked again.
"We're reorganizing the army." Zhou You was a little worried, but now Juicong was holding on and appeared in the court hall. If the three clan troops knew that he was injured, Luoyan's defense was empty again, and they gathered together and set fire to the palace, and no one took them away. Do it.
In other words, these three days were really three days when everyone was trembling with fear, and the situation was even more dangerous than when Prince Ling invaded the city. Juicy Taki showed a calmness far beyond his usual appearance.
Zhou You was even a little shocked. Geng Shu outrageously defeated ten thousand by one, which was nothing to be surprised. After all, he was a genius in martial arts. However, Prince Taki also held a sword and rushed to kill his head with blood. With the few martial arts he had learned from Geng Shu on weekdays, it was the first time he participated in a war that he was able to achieve this level of bravery. .
Everyone was waiting for Princess Wuying to return. Before that, the slightest disturbance was terrifying.
"It'll be all right," said Prince Taki. "If it was Zhao Ling, he wouldn't come again."
The construction of Luoyan City is proceeding step by step, the laborers are carrying out fortifications under the blizzard, and Juicong has ordered Geng Shu to disband the coalition of the three tribes. But the reward of Meng , Lang Huang and Shui Jun is that they want to confirm that Jiang Heng is awake and leave after nothing happened.
What can Juicong say? Forcibly disbanding the army will only appear guilty.
"This is the medicine sent by Jiang Heng." Zhou You said.
Prince Taki was about to get up to see him, but was stopped by Zhou You, Zhou You looked at Prince Taki and couldn't help sighing again.
From childhood to adulthood, Prince Taki has seen many such eyes and heard many of the same sighs. He has long been accustomed to it.
"You're right." Prince Taki said calmly.
Zhou You showed an embarrassed expression, and he clearly didn't say anything. But Prince Taki knew very well that Zhou You was blaming him, and he should not be killed when he left the city. If Luoyan City fell, and even he died in the city, the Yong Kingdom would be completely wiped out.
Prince Taki said again: "But you should also understand me a little bit, travel around."
Zhou You nodded silently. It is human nature. The person sitting in this position is always a human being, a nineteen-year-old boy. He can't do everything based on his best interests.
Sometimes, feelings and impulses, after all, will be weighed against each other.
At the moment, there is no one around Prince Taki, the grandmother is recovering from the injury, the father is in the imperial court with the injury, the aunt is in command of the army at Yubi Pass, the elder brother does not know where to go, and has never shown up...
"Call the East Palace," Prince Taki thought for a while, "Restore the order of the previous government as soon as possible."
Zhouyou: "Your Highness, don't be in a hurry at this time."
"Go," said Prince Taki, "that's what we're supposed to do."
"You drink the medicine first." Zhou You said.
Prince Taki drank the medicine sent by Jiang Heng, and suddenly felt absurd. Losing his left ear was a great shame. For several days, what he thought of most was not revenge, but the most fundamental reason for all of this to happen— his father.
Just a little bit, as long as they burn down the ancestral temple and kill the monarch and prince, the Yong Kingdom will be destroyed, just like the Yue people.
But thinking about it, what he remembered the most was Geng Shu's praise. It was just three words, but it spanned thunder and lightning, making him remember it for a long time.
In the afternoon of the same day, the East Palace held a meeting again, and Prince Taki shared the tedious tasks of Shanyin, Haocheng and Chengzhou, which were once occupied in addition to the entire capital, from Guan Wei. The aides watched the prince lose one ear, the purple-black face that had solidified, the blood on the gauze, no one said much, and began to deal with government affairs with shame and anger.
Prince Taki drank the medicine, his eyelids gradually shriveled, and the last one lay on the table and fell asleep.
"Your Highness?" Zhou You whispered.
"Let him sleep for a while," Zeng Rong sighed, flipping through the scroll. "He's too tired, it's not easy."
On the fourth day, as Zheng's troops all withdrew from Tongguan and fled to the territory of Daiguo, Zeng Yu stopped his pursuit and seized Tongguan, the southwest gate of Yongguo.
The news reached Yongdu Luoyan, the snow stopped, and the sun was shining brightly.
Jiang Heng woke up again, stretched out, and pushed Geng Shu, who was lying beside him.
"Hey, get up and..."
"Get up!" Jiang Heng's voice was so loud that Geng Shu was so frightened that he almost rolled off the couch. Behind the screen outside, Jie Gui also bounced up instantly, and the two woke up together.
"Ouch, it hurts..." Jiang Heng's wounds have healed a lot. The medicine that Shan Ze asked Lang Huang to bring is very effective, but it still hurts when he breathes.
"Are you okay?" Geng Shu said anxiously, "Brother pressed your wound last night?"
"No, no." Jiang Heng hurriedly comforted Geng Shu in turn. Seeing that Jie Gui was wearing a single shirt, he stood to the side to observe his face.
Jie Gui said: "There are so many people, go and report back to the Queen Mother."
Jiang Heng couldn't help itching, and wanted to take a bath, but Geng Shu couldn't let him take a bath, for fear that the wound would become pus, and said, "Wipe your body, don't move, pull carefully. ."
The Yue girl was still outside, listening to the movement in the room, she poured water in and said, "Let's serve Lord Jiang."
"No no." Jiang Hengzheng took off his clothes, his face flushed immediately, and he said, "There are differences between men and women, can you help me..."
All the Yue girls couldn't help laughing. Jiang Heng really couldn't handle this scene, so Geng Shu let them all wait behind the screen, and let Jiang Heng take off his clothes and wipe his body for him.
The figures of the two brothers were reflected on the screen, and the Vietnamese girls had to turn around.
Jiang Heng couldn't figure out what the Queen Mother meant, so he had to send them away. He didn't want the Prince Ling thing to happen again, so he asked, "You can all go back. It's all right, you're all well."
"Master Jiang dislikes them?" The eldest girl named Anxi laughed.
"No, no." Jiang Heng said hurriedly, "Compared to my flesh wound, I am more worried about the queen mother..."
"Yes," Geng Shu wiped Jiang Heng's shoulders and said patiently, "Master Jiang dislikes you all, let's go back."
Anxi, Yishui and Mingwen laughed together again, Jiang Heng suddenly felt that with this laughter, his bedroom became more lively and interesting.
"What kind of vinegar is your Highness eating?" Anxi said, "You guys won't do anything to Lord Jiang, and you're afraid that the three of you will eat Lord Jiang?"
Geng Shu has never been joked. The entire Yong Kingdom, from officials to the common people, respects him very much, even Ji Shuang is very polite, where have you encountered such a joke
"I can't provoke you," Geng Shu said, "it's all Madam's maiden family."
Yue women are outgoing and straightforward, Jiang Heng knows where that intimacy comes from In general, click, click, too sharp.
"You are also Yueren," Mingwen smiled, "Mr. Geng is naturally Yueren, isn't it? Seventh sister is even more so."
Geng Shu paused when he heard his mother's name.
"They are all practicing the broken jade heart technique," Anxi said with a faint smile, "Sir Jiang, you really don't need to be afraid."
"No... No." Jiang Heng motioned for Geng Shu to quickly put on his pants, as if they were going to come in to watch at any time, and you commented a few words at a time.
Geng Shu put on long underwear for Jiang Heng, the two of them were naked | bare shoulders, Geng Shu was unable to control the strength of his movements, and wanted to change Jiang Heng's medicine. I'll come."
Geng Shu no longer insisted. After all, he was also afraid of tearing off the gauze and causing Jiang Heng's wound to rupture, so he went outside and washed his body with cold well water.
Mingwen's fingers were very soft, and he controlled the softness and undid the gauze in front of Jiang Heng's chest, without leaving any scabs.
"Diren's herbs are very good," Anxi said while watching, "Jiang Gongzi can be cured by applying it twice more."
"Yeah." Jiang Heng nodded. Sure enough, he was still being criticized. He casually changed the subject and asked, "What is the broken jade heart formula?"
"A kind of martial arts," Mingwen gently put medicine on Jiang Heng, and said softly, "To practice this skill, you must be a virgin, not married, and not raised."
"Oh..." Jiang Heng just asked casually, "Huh?"
However, Geng Shu stopped, vaguely thinking that he had heard the name of this kung fu before, and when the cold water poured over his head, he shuddered and forgot.
At breakfast, Geng Shu ignored Jiang Heng's insistence and fed him food, while Jie Gui went to the Peach Blossom Palace to report back and said to the three Yue girls, "The queen mother asked you to go back, don't look at the food."
"Yes." The three said goodbye to Jiang Heng and Geng Shu, and Jiang Heng breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your Majesty asked you to rest properly and go see him first." Jie Gui said, "When you were in a coma, the princes of the three clans came here. Later, you have to let them disband the coalition forces on the spot and send the clans back."
Jiang Heng remembered that the coalition army was still stationed in the city, and the bell had to be tied to the bell. The reinforcements that Geng Shu and him had gathered together naturally had to persuade them to leave.
"The Age of Rebirth"
"Is Juicong scared to death?" Jiang Heng joked.
"He can't eat or sleep every day," Jie Gui rarely joked with Jiang Heng, "I've come to see you many times. When you fell asleep, your brother just stared at you without saying a word..."
Geng Shu was not embarrassed, but took it for granted.
"...I think King Yong is about to kneel down and beg you, wake up quickly." Jie Gui said.
Jiang Heng said in his heart that you are really disrespectful to Juicong, and even making fun of him is also incompetent. No wonder Prince Taki doesn't like you.
