That night.
"Are you worried these days?" Jiang Heng said.
"No." Geng Shu made the bed for Jiang Heng and looked back at Jie Gui's shadow behind the screen. Jie Gui, as always, never spoke when he was by Jiang Heng's side, Jiang Heng was used to his presence.
"Really?" Jiang Heng asked Geng Shu, "You never lied to me."
"Yeah." Geng Shu replied, "It's just because your injury is not healed, and you are busy with so many things every day, I'm afraid your body won't be able to bear it."
Jiang Heng knew that Geng Shu would not lie to him, so no matter what happened, he stopped asking questions.
"Sleep." Geng Shu lay down on the couch and said.
Jiang Heng turned slightly and rested on Geng Shu's arm. Geng Shu was afraid of touching his wound, so he stayed away.
"Jie Gui." Geng Shu said suddenly.
"Yeah." Jie Gui replied from behind the curtain.
"Let him be there," Jiang Heng said, "it's okay."
Jie Gui follows Jiang Heng, which means that he and Geng Shu have no secrets. No matter what they say, they acquiesce that the Queen Mother can know. At first, Geng Shu felt that Jie Gui was going to know the size of the matter, so he reported to Chao Ju Cong. But Lang Huang's words suddenly made Geng Shu think differently.
"When did you enter the palace?" Geng Shu asked.
Jiang Heng: "?"
Jiang Heng didn't understand why Geng Shu was interested in Jie Gui's body. He said close words to people except his family members, and he was indifferent to others.
Jiang Heng pinched Geng Shu's handbag and asked him to turn his head slightly towards him, with a questioning look in his face.
Geng Shu looked down at Jiang Heng in his arms and made a "shush" action.
"It's been a long time," Jie Gui said, "I can't remember for a long time."
"You are from Yue like us, right?" Geng Shu said again.
"Maybe it is." Jie Gui replied casually, "Do you two think that you are from Yue people? Your father, who has followed the Ju family to the north, what's the matter?"
"You recognize Jiang Qing," Geng Shu said again, "also recognize Madam."
Jie Gui: "Which lady?"
"Mrs. Zhao." Geng Shu said.
"Jiang Qing admits that," Jie Gui said, "Jiang Zhao is not familiar with her, so I can't provoke her."
Jiang Heng laughed, thinking that his mother had never been able to offend anyone.
However, Geng Shu suddenly remembered a memory from a long time ago. It was eight years ago. He even asked for a long time whether this incident happened...
It was a bloody evening, on the last day that Mrs. Zhao left them.
"The broken jade heart art that I practiced matches the Tianyue sword," Mrs. Zhao said from a distance, "you are a man, you can't learn it, the black sword heart art must be practiced regularly and should not be neglected."
"Yes." Geng Shu knew that it was natural to remind him.
"What is the broken jade heart?"
Jiang Heng also asked her at that time.
"Rather Stick to your guns."
Geng Shu sometimes recalled that Mrs. Zhao's words had always been the same, but every word seemed to have a different meaning.
He is also a talkative person. After being raised by the Jiang family, his talk changed even more. He always felt that Mrs. Zhao wanted to tell him something that day.
Broken Jade Heart...
Geng Shu remembered what Ming Wen said during the day, learning the art of breaking the jade heart and maintaining a virginity, then Jiang Heng...
He turned his head and looked at Jiang Heng in his arms. Jiang Heng had fallen asleep after drinking the medicine.
He stretched out his fingers, lifted Jiang Heng's forehead, and looked at his facial features carefully, at the corners of his eyes, nose, and mouth. The face of the father in the memory has long been blurred.
He suppressed the thoughts that frightened him, his wandering eyes moved away in an instant, but he quickly turned back and stayed on Jiang Hengwen's moist lips. Then, Jiang Heng consciously wrapped his arms around Geng Shu's neck, and Geng Shu tried his best to expel something from his mind and closed his eyes.
No, it won't be so. Geng Shu tried to convince himself, and tried to forget it.
It is night, Juicong sleeps in the hall.
"After Jie Gui left the city, he didn't do anything. I suspect that he had no intention of assassinating the enemy general at all." Wei Zhuo dangled an injured arm and reported back to Juicong, "At that time, our assassin saw him go straight for him. Cheng, I went to Jiang Heng with the black sword."
"No," said Juicong, "impossible."
Wei Zhuo reminded: "After Jiang Heng was injured, it was Jie Gui who carried him back."
Juicong didn't dare to think about it, what does this mean? Jie Gui went out to protect Jiang Heng. Could it be the Queen Mother's advice? He would rather believe that Jiang Heng had established a relationship with Jie Gui during the six months of Jiang Heng's travels.
"Jie Gui was with him for half a year." Juicong said, "I've heard that Jie Gui is also a crazy guy, and he didn't do anything with Jiang Heng... it's not the same."
Back then, the troublesome affair between Jie Gui and his elder brother Ju Lang was well known in the harem, and the court was all talking about it. Jie Gui still looked so-called, and Ju Lang only banished him for the time being, and called him back when the limelight passed.
Jie Gui used to be the closest person to his brother, and it was a bit unbearable for a man to be so infatuated with another man.
Wei Zhuo said: "It was also strange for the minister to transfer Jie Gui away from the prince's side and assign him to someone else."
"Jiang Heng's identity," Juicong said, "is a relative of the royal family, and Jiang Zhao's nominal son... Not surprising."
Juicong pondered silently. If the queen mother knew, it would be troublesome. She is his biological mother, and of course his brother's biological mother. What if she knew everything about it back then? If one son killed another, she had no choice but to give in. If he was also put to death, regardless of whether she could take this decision, the Yong royal family would completely inherit this position.
Will she endure it all these years? He had never seen his mother make a move. Although he heard that she was also a martial artist, but this time in the battle at the ancestral temple, he actually took the head of the head of Che Ting! Poor Che Li, who was also a famous general, was like slaughtering a chicken, fighting back in front of Tianyue Sword.
Is this the warning his mother gave him? The more Juicong thought about it, the more frightened it became. It was impossible.
Even if it is, what can he do? Killing your mother
Juicy Cong: "… "
"Impossible." Juicong said to Wei Zhuo.
"It's better to take precautions early," Wei Zhuo said. "No matter who it is, we will inevitably face the most chaotic civil war in history."
"That's right." Juicong said, "Have you ever chosen the guard you chose?"
Wei Zhuo said: "The minister has re-selected, this group of people is a descendant of the Western Regions after the fall of the country in the past, and they have all been changed to the surnames of the Western Regions. The force of resistance is called the Blood Moon."
"It's Hu people again." Juicong said.
Wei Zhuo said: "In the next ten years, we will need a large number of assassins, the five famous assassins in the Central Plains, Luo Xuan is that son's master, Jie Gui can't move around, Mysterio does not know who they are, Geng Yuan, Xiang The state is deceased and there is no one available."
"What are their conditions?" Juicong said.
"The owner of the Blood Moon is called 'Blood Moon'. I don't know if it's a man or a woman. At the beginning, I thought about entering the Central Plains, but was blocked by Haige. Now it is said that Haige left Shenzhou, and Blood Moon wanted to be a person." Wei Zhuo said, "Six-year-old children, children from the Central Plains, and children from Yong people, the more the better. From the northwest of Jianmen Pass to the Hexi Corridor, they want to build a country. Yongguo, and in the future, after recovering the Central Plains, will conduct trade with Luoyang. This piece of land does not border the Central Plains, and it has always been a state of China.
"The land doesn't matter, where can people find people?" Juicong said, "The Lone King is also a person, you gave birth to them?"
"Don't worry," Wei Zhuo said, "just allow them to choose by themselves, and Blood Moon is willing to send 12 disciples to serve the king."
"It's too much." Juicong said.
"Every one has the strength of Geng Yuan at the beginning." Wei Zhuo said.
Juicong: "Impossible, otherwise the Central Plains would have already fallen into their hands."
"They still want to become the emperor after Wang Bi," Wei Zhuo said, "to ask for the black sword of Lord Geng Yuan. The minister said that this would not work."
"The black sword is fine." Juicong said.
Wei Zhuo was shocked, Juicong was willing to give the black sword to others
"But... in the final analysis, it is owned by the Geng family." Wei Zhuo said hesitantly, he didn't want to find Geng Shu's black sword, otherwise Geng Shuyi wouldn't mind stabbing him to death with this sword again, after all Those who died on this sword back then were all people with names and surnames.
"The Heijian didn't belong to the Geng family in the beginning," said Ju Cong, "Zui Miao has never used it, and I don't think he cares much about his father. Let's talk about it when the time comes. At that time, the lonely king will become the king. Son of Heaven, what's wrong?"
Juicong was right on one point, Geng Shu really didn't care about the black sword, he could kill with a pair of tongs, and besides Jiang Heng, he didn't care much about everything in the sky.
When Geng Shu and Juicong faced each other, the thought came to mind again, not the thing he was afraid of, but: the man in front of him, in order to seize power, poisoned his biological brother.
Is power so important? Geng Shu didn't understand. His initial attachment to people was all learned from his parents. Although Geng Yuan was blind, he seemed to have seen everything long ago. The happiness of the birth mother, Nie Qi, was only tied to the father alone.
He is different from Jiang Heng, and even more different from Juicy.
He couldn't imagine how Juicong, who grew up with Juicang, felt in his heart when he did that thing. He sometimes couldn't help but want to ask his adoptive father, but he held back.
All this may be Lang Huang's conspiracy. Geng Shu thought so.
If Lang Huang told Jiang Heng about this, with Jiang Heng's mind, if he said no, he would immediately link all the causes and effects together and come to the only conclusion. But Geng Shu didn't. He rejected the truth. Once the truth was proven, it would be enough to make his whole life collapse.
"Son?" Juicong said.
Geng Shu came back to his senses. Three days after Zheng Jun returned home, Princess Wuying returned, and Ju Cong immediately held a core meeting of the army.
Juicong felt strange, since Jiang Heng came back, Geng Shu has always been distracted in meetings.
He knew that Jiang Heng and Geng Shu slept together every night, but Geng Shu always looked listless during the day... Could it be that he imitated Di Ren and did something strange? They are two brothers!
If the two of them are not related and not related to the matter of Jie Gui they talked about last night, it would be fine if they were only open and closed.
If my brother's behavior is not as good as a pig and a dog, if it spreads out, he will be laughed at by the people of heaven.
Shouldn't it stop? The more Juicong thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. He had to marry Geng Shu as soon as possible. He hadn't thought about it before, so he probably wouldn't. Prince Taki was his own son, and he lived with Geng Shu day and night. Relatively, I haven't seen anything wrong.
No, not possible. Juicong immediately expelled the thought from his mind.
The father and son speculated about each other, and both were vigilant.
"What do you think?" Jue Ling was so busy, and after rushing back to the capital, her lungs exploded with anger. She didn't have time to drink a glass of water, so she expressed her anger at the meeting and turned to Zheng Guo. revenge!
Lu Ji said: "There is a shortage of supplies now, and it is the worst winter of the year for sending troops. Iron and grain have all been re-planned. The people need to rebuild their homes. Princess Wuying..."
After all, there are only two words in the end: no money.
"Heng'er said yes," Geng Shu said loudly. "Victorious troops win first and then go to war, while defeated troops go to war first and then seek victory. The homework of launching a national war is on the battlefield."
Jue Ling was a little mean, she had a good heart, and she listened to everything. Since Jiang Heng came back, Geng Shu seems to have changed. But at this moment Jiang Heng has proved all his predictions. If you don't listen to him, there is only a dead end.
"So your opinion is not to go to war." Juicong said.
"Not now," Geng Shu said. "If you can't win, the coalition forces can't leave the customs. They are not familiar with the fighting style inside the customs."
Jue Ling hopes to mobilize all the troops and take advantage of the domestic anger to get out of the Yubi Pass. Let's fight Anyang first. Now they have 60,000 troops of the three tribes, Jue Ling has 60,000 troops, and the capital is 100,000. Wan Yulin's army, Song Zou's army of Wang's army is 20,000, a total of 150,000 troops, while the standing army of Liang's army is only 100,000. If we don't fight at this time, when will we wait
Unfortunately, Geng Shu rejected her outright.
Does she know? Know that Ju Cong killed her brother? Geng Shu was thinking about another question in his heart. Is she closer to Ju Cong or closer to Ju Lang? Could she also be conspiring? He recalled every bit of getting along with his aunt, and he believed that she would not be such a person.
In her heart, family is the most important thing, which is why Geng Shu is most willing to listen to her.
"The best way is," said Geng Shu, "to dismantle the armor, keep the standing army, and let the soldiers go home. The rest will be discussed in the next year. You all know in your heart, why bother? What shall I say?"
Jiang Heng uses this tactic most often. He knows where the source of the dispute lies, and he always points out things that people are unwilling to admit without mercy. Geng Shu has also learned it. It saves time.
The hall was quiet, and Juicong looked at Geng Shu with admiration. When he grew up, he was no longer impulsive. When the upper echelons of the army unanimously demanded a revenge war, he was still clear-headed and knew that he could not fight, which was difficult.
Jiang Hengxian pointed fingers at the army and made suggestions around Geng Shu, which was one of the most fundamental reasons why Ju Cong tolerated him. Jiang Heng believed that with Geng Shu's military talent, he could deal with it without talking too much.

"When will revenge?" Juyeon said.
"When Donggong is able to solve the Ying Kingdom," Geng Shu said to Jue Ling, "I think it will be soon."
Facing the persuasion of the civil servants, Ju Ling scolds one by one, Lu Ji persuaded and Ju Ling said, "It's not your brother who died", and Guan Wei Quan and Ju Ling said, "If you don't have money, go out and grab it."
In the end, she gave in in front of her nephew. She admitted that Geng Shu had already outgrown her talent, so she could be better than herself. He felt that he couldn't fight, but he really couldn't. don't win.
"Don't make me wait too long." Juyeon said.
"No, Aunt." Geng Shu replied, comforting the family he liked most except Jiang Hengzhi.
