"What did Lang Huang ask you to say yesterday?" Jiang Heng asked Geng Shu.
Geng Shu suddenly remembered, and with a shocked expression, he glanced at Jie Gui.
Jiang Heng: "?"
Jiang Heng patted Geng Shu, while Jie Gui stared at Geng Shu suspiciously.
"It's nothing," Geng Shu said, "When will I withdraw."
Never lied to Jiang Heng, but this lie is necessary. Just like Lang Huang said, once the secret is known to more people, Juicong will kill and silence him—must protect myself, and also Protect Jiang Heng, otherwise you will put them in danger.
Maybe there is a time to discuss it, but not now.
Jiang Heng said: "We have to let them evacuate the geese as soon as possible."
"That's why I did it." Geng Shu said, "Just after saving Wang, you don't want to cross the river and demolish the bridge. You should let the soldiers retreat and ask them to come over."
Geng Shu's mood has not yet calmed down, and his spirit is quite flickering, but the matter of Juicong's brother murder was not so intensely related to him at first, and it is ultimately a matter of the royal family. Whether the real son is still alive, or where he was sent by Jie Gui, has nothing to do with Jiang Heng.
Jiang Heng wanted to meet a few foreign princes, but Geng Shu couldn't, so he had to take Jiang Heng's hand and accompany him out.
Before noon that day, after Zilong woke up, he briefly listened to the report of his aides and read the case file that urgently needed reconstruction in the city. With the documents in his hand, Zeng Rong went to Juicong's study to report.
There are a lot of things I want to say, but it is not yet time. The most important thing is to do my own business. My father, aunt, and grandmother are doing their best to fulfill their responsibilities.
Juicong was talking with Wei Zhuo and Guan Wei. After Wei Zhuo fell from the city wall, his right hand was fractured, and the bandage was hanging in front of him, and he had aged a lot overnight.
Zi Long said: "The Gongliao has filed a complaint. The details of the post-war reconstruction have come out. Please take a look at the father and the king."
"Send someone to do it," Ju Cong's voice was still powerful, "Don't look at it, how much money you need, let me approve it."
Zeng Rong saluted Guan Wei, and Guan Wei indicated that he was coming with him. After a while, Wei Zhuo also withdrew, and the rest of the father and son looked at each other.
This was the first time Zitaki saw his father after the war.
Juicong beckoned to him and said, "Come here."
Before Zilong walked away from Wang's case, Ju Cong asked him to sit beside him, slowly unfastened the gauze wrapped around his head, and looked at the wound on his left ear.
"I don't think you'll come back." Juicong's voice was steady, but his icy big hands were trembling, "You shouldn't do this."
Zi Taki said in a low voice, "Actually, I didn't think about leaving."
Juicong sighed and said, "Dad did all this in order to keep you alive. Fortunately, Juicong came to rescue..."
"And Jiang Heng." Zi Taki reminded.
After removing all the gauze, Juicong looked at the place where his son's ear should have been, it was empty, except for a hole blocked by blood stasis.
After a while, he said, "...If you die in front of the ancestral temple, everything will be over."
Zilong did not answer, but the gods knew it at a glance, yes, if you die in front of the ancestral temple, it will be over, but who is to blame for all this? When Niu Min was torn apart by a car, the scene of blood spilling on the ground is still vivid in my mind.
Ju Cong also realized it, sighed, and hugged Zi Taki in front of him. This was the first time that Ju Taki had hugged him since he was fourteen years old, but everything was unexpected. Taki turned his head sideways and sighed softly.
There is no other way but to reconcile with the father.
"You're not wrong," Juicong said in a deep voice, "It's Dad's fault."
My son's mistake made his son lose an ear forever. In the past few days, I have been reflecting on it all the time.
"Take a break," Ju Cong let go, looked at Zi Taki's eyes, and said, "Don't be tired."
"Everyone is busy," said Zilong, "they must rebuild their homes as soon as possible, the people must have a place to live, and the city walls must be repaired as soon as possible, if not for the return of the king... By the way, Dad, Jiang Heng is awake. ."
As if echoing what Zitaki wanted, a notification came from outside the study.
"His Royal Highness asks Lord Jiang to meet."
"Come here." Juicong bandaged the wound on his son's ear again.
When Jiang Heng came, he saw Juicong holding Juicong with one hand and gently bandaging with the other. This scene made some people sad. If his father was still alive, he would not have been attacked by the assassins, but after thinking about it, Geng Shu replaced their father, and many things always have to be done. to face it.
"Heng'er!" Zi Takima said worriedly, "Are you all right?"
"Don't move." Juicong ordered patiently.
"Let me take a look?" Geng Shu came and knelt on Wang's couch, Jiang Heng also came over, and the three gathered around Zilong's wound to study.
"I have medicine there." Jiang Heng said.
Zilong said, "The medicine you sent yesterday is very good for pain relief. I have already taken it."
Juicong's face changed slightly, but he didn't say a word.
"For external application," Jiang Heng said, "to help your wound heal as quickly as possible."
Juicong was silent for a moment, then said to Geng Shu, "Are you getting up?"
Zilong wanted to see Jiang Heng's injury, but Geng Shu refused to let Jiang Heng touch Jiang Heng, saying, "Just a few more days of rest will be fine."
Jiang Heng: "Can you hear me?"
Zi Taki replied: "The sound is loud or small, it doesn't matter, even if it is really inaudible, there is still the right ear."
It stands to reason that if the outer ear is lost, it will not affect the eardrum, and it will only make the sound smaller.
Juicong said: "If there is any medicine, give it to me, Juicong, take your brother to get it."
Jiang Heng knew that Jue Cong had talked to him, so he turned his head to Geng Shu, saying that it doesn't matter. Geng Shu sighed. For the past few days, he has been guarding Jiang Heng, ignoring the other younger brother. At this time, he wanted to make up for it, so he led him away.
Only Jiang Heng and Juicong were left in the study, and everyone was silent.
"I reminded you." Jiang Heng said.
"Don't turn over the old accounts." Ju Cong said, "You are just like your father. You like to turn over the old accounts. Look at me and laugh at me with schadenfreude, and see me in a mess."
"Does my father like to turn over old accounts?" Jiang Heng raised his eyebrows, perhaps because he and Geng Shu saved the entire Luoyan, today's Juicong showed a rare remorse.
However, Juicong didn't answer, remembering a lot of past events, watching Jiang Heng slowly move to the desk and take a seat under his right hand, the action showed that the injury was not minor, at least more serious than that of his own son. Juicong really had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
At that moment, when Geng Shu and Jiang Heng were around their son, Ju Cong had a strange idea - the three of them seemed to be their own children, and at that moment, they almost wanted to reconcile with Jiang Heng .
In terms of martial arts, the biological child is better than Geng Yuan's son; the paper Tao is even better than his brother's posthumous son. Sometimes I even secretly hope that Jiang Heng is also the son of Jiang Heng. He is so good and calm, he has never been trained as a monarch since childhood, and he has the temperament of a son in every gesture.
What if it was my son? The juice is really not as good as...
Juicong thinks so occasionally, but betrays Juicy again, betrays the weak son who always thinks about everything, thinks about the world, and believes in his heart. Some kind of guilt.
It's not that I didn't think about getting close to Jiang Heng, to make up for the heinous crime of poisoning my father's father, but just like Geng Shu's rejection of Juicy, Juicong is also the same as himself. He refused Jiang Heng sternly.
"Your Majesty." Jiang Heng said earnestly, earnestly, and showed a look that made Juicong resist.
"You're right, I was wrong." Juicong blocked Jiang Heng's head in advance to avoid being taught a lesson. This kid is more difficult to deal with than Guan Wei. Guan Wei has not taught a lesson for a long time. Everyone is an adult, and they have been with each other for decades. They will more or less save face for each other, but Jiang Heng never.
Jiang Hengban was not surprised. When he arrived at this time, he wouldn't look like a monarch if he didn't reflect on it.
"It's not too late to make amends," Jiang Heng said.
"Well," Juicong thought of something else, "The Lone King has indeed underestimated the enemy, these few days, when I think back to you, it's like it's still in my ears, the Lone King is very big. , I am invincible, I have not lost for many years... There is no real defeat, and even I am arrogant and ignore the crisis facing Dayong."
Juicong changed his words to "substantial defeat", but because of the reason he was always reluctant to admit that Yubiguan almost died under Jiang Heng's sword was "defeat", it was just a personal grievance between them. In the past few days, I even came up with a reason to justify it, that is, Jiang Heng was sent by his brother to remind him that their situation was already very dangerous.
"My Healing Game"
"...From now on," Ju Congju looked down at Jiang Heng and said, "The Lone King will take every enemy seriously, whether it is domestic or foreign; those around him, or those across from the city. "
Jiang Heng didn't hear Juicong's overtones, and said seriously: "Yongren has a long history of being arrogant and arrogant with the Iron Army in hand. If His Majesty Wang wakes up from this war, it would be a fortune. Things."
Ju Cong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The reform needs to be implemented as soon as possible. Princess Wuying has just won the Jade Bi Pass, and she has to be stable. At this time, there will be no more civil strife."
Jiang Heng heard Juicong's words, and said, "Your Majesty can rest assured, the three tribes coalition army, my brother let the people dispersed, it is time to go home for the winter."
Juicong said "um", Jiang Heng is very smart, and what is even more rare is that he has a tacit understanding with , the first thing after waking up is to disband the coalition forces.
"I asked my brother to give care to all ethnic groups according to the standards of Yong people warriors, and treat them equally. I think you will not interfere." Jiang Heng said.
"I don't mind." Juicong said, "Rescue in times of crisis shows loyalty."
Jiang Heng said: "The crime of rebellion of the Lin Hu people, I also hope that His Majesty Wang will forgive him."
"Let the Donggong issue an amnesty order," Juicong said lightly, "The Di and Linhu clans can be exempted, but it is still necessary to be cautious when issuing the Donglan Mountain territory."
Jiang Heng thought for a while and said, "Although the army is scattered, the princes of the three clans, I want them to stay in the East Palace."
Juicong was stunned and pondered for a moment, before Jiang Heng explained: "This time, Luo Yan was almost destroyed, and the three clans helped them regardless of their previous suspicions. Everyone is in the same boat. The so-called solidarity is exactly that. Yong Guocun is the three If the clan survives; if the Yong Kingdom is destroyed, the three clans will be destroyed. The four kingdoms in the pass will not treat Feng Rong, Lin Hu and Di separately, but will arbitrarily classify them as 'Yong people'. All damages will be lost. Once the Guannei people conquer the Yong Kingdom, the three clans will be converted from slaves of the Yong people to slaves of them, and the situation will never become worse. With such a simple truth, we must not not understand."
"... So, I let Meng He, Shan Ze, and Lang Huang enter the East Palace to assist my son," Jiang Heng said seriously, "First, we can unite with foreigners; Countermeasures can also be made in this regard to influence their decisions; thirdly, to ensure the continuation of the regime after the son succeeds to the throne in the future."
"Prince Fengrong Chao Luowen is the left general of the legion." Juicong thought for a while, and said, "It is a famous royal family, it is reasonable to say that as long as one person serves in the Yong Kingdom's court, it is enough, and this one is a little disgusting. More... Well, just do as you say."
Jiang Heng shook his head and raised his eyebrows, indicating that you finally heard him.
"The Yubi Pass seems to have been recaptured," Jiang Heng said, "but it is still in danger, so don't take it lightly."
"Not bad." Juicong said, "Although Zheng Guo retreats, the next time the coalition forces attack, it should be in the beginning of spring or summer, when the alliance leader will be replaced by one of the two kingdoms of Dai and Liang."
When Jiang Heng heard this, he knew that Juicong had already listened to Guan Wei's analysis, and he didn't need to waste time on this matter.
"It is very important that the city wall needs to be repaired." Jiang Heng reminded again, "But the people of Luoyan need to spend the winter. Hao, Shanyin, and Chengzhou have been occupied by the enemy, and they must have been looted. The time is getting warmer, and the severe cold will be more severe in the future. The most important thing in the body of the monarch is not the city wall, not the defense, but your people, Your Majesty.”
Juicong said: "For the disaster relief after the war, go to the East Palace to worry about it. Remember to leave money for the lonely king. Jiang Heng, you know better than the lonely king, what to do to ask for money."
"The winter solstice can be a grand occasion," Jiang Heng said. "After distributing money and food, you need to unite people's hearts and heal the pain of the people."
Juicong: "Understood, Guan said the same thing."
Jiang Heng shook his head and got up slowly. Juicy Cong saw that he had already said goodbye, and was about to give a few words of encouragement. Even if they were enemies that would never die, Jiang Heng also came with an army. Safeguarding Dayong and the royal family, and saving the country from fire and water, it is a real pity for them to cooperate temporarily now.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Heng moved Wang's case, pressed Ju Cong's pulse, and confirmed his injury.
"Xiao Qi Si." This is the second time that Ju Cong has confronted Jiang Heng at such a close distance. The first time was when he held Jiang Heng in his arms at Yubi Pass.
At this time, Juicong only needed to make a sudden move to restrain Jiang Heng, causing him to open his eyes wide in fear, and be puzzled.
I did have this idea. This was the closest I had to killing Jiang Heng with my own hands.
