"It's here." The young man who was driving the car said with a smile.
When the carriage entered the Maogeng District, it seemed to pass from one stage to another, and everything became different. After passing the waterway, it is the residence of the military generals. The mansion facing the riverway is covered with peaches and willow trees, surrounded by generals. The southeastern camp of the Bingfu is just outside.
The ground was clean and spotless, and Xiangfu opened the door early in the morning, waiting to welcome the arrival of the distinguished guests.
"General Xiang!" Jiang Heng laughed.
Xiang Yu was holding his hands behind his back, teasing his canary under the porch, and politely said to Jiang Heng: "Did you sleep well last night? I asked him to change a few clothes overnight and bring them to you. It's all right. .”
Jiang Heng suddenly understood where Xiang Yu's other sense of familiarity came from—his kindness and naturalness were a little bit like Tamarind, that generational general, as if they had known each other for a long time.
"Thank you." Geng Shu said lightly.
However, Xiang Yu's family is small, and he is not at all different from the ramwang who is surrounded by disciples. He has a husband who has been loving for many years. When he heard that Jiang Heng was coming, he came out to meet the guests, brought a son and a daughter, and his son was six years old. , the daughter is four years old.
"Wait for someone to come over later," Xiang Yu said to Jiang Heng, "Let's go out together. We will go to Jiang Xie in the afternoon to chat, and Brother Yu will take you to the show in the evening."
Jiang Heng naturally agreed, presumably Xiang Yu had also found someone else to accompany him, so he went into the hall for tea and gossip.
Geng Shu didn't enter the hall. He sat in the corridor and glanced around at random. Of course, Xiang Yu's family wouldn't be an assassin. Otherwise, the sky would have been turned upside down. It was just his habit.
"Big brother," the six-year-old eldest son of the Xiang family stood three steps away, looked at him curiously, and asked, "Are you carrying a sword on your back?"
Geng Shu looked at the child, but didn't answer, but raised his eyebrows coldly, as if he was teasing him.
The younger daughter also came over and said, "Can I have a look?"
The little daughter climbed onto the porch chair on one side and knelt on the porch chair, exactly flush with Geng Shu who was sitting on the ground.
"No," Geng Shu said, "you will get your hands on it."
"Let me feel the scabbard," said the eldest son of the Xiang family, "I won't take it out."
Geng Shu still likes children very much. When he was in Yongdu, he was very patient with every child. Even if he didn't let him get close to him on weekdays, he still had nothing to do with five or six-year-old children. resist. Maybe it was because of the time he spent with Jiang Heng in his childhood. In the days of losing him, every child meant to him the younger brother he once loved so much.
So Geng Shu unsheathed his sword and held it in his hand. The boy stretched out his hand to take it, but Geng Shu raised his hand to tease him. The little girl laughed and went to hug Geng Shu's neck, but Geng Shu avoided it a little and said, "Men and women, please don't hug each other."
The boy hugged him and raised his hand to grab the sword. Geng Shu had to give it to him. He swiped the sword on the machine and locked it to prevent accidents.
"What's your name?" Geng Shu said to the little girl.
"I'm calling," the girl said. "The calling is coming, and the calling is going away."
"Good name." Geng Shu said.
The light sword was too heavy for a six-year-old child. The boy was dragging it on the ground, and the girl saw the red rope around Geng Shu's neck and said, "What are you wearing?"
She wasn't afraid at all, she wanted to see Geng Shu's jade, but Geng Shu naturally couldn't let her see it. After all, it represented his share, so he took her hand and digged it out. He gave her a small packet of snacks, which he took with him when he left the palace. He wanted to find a place where peach blossoms bloomed well with Jiang Heng and sit down and eat together.
The girl cheered, and the boy ran back and said, "I want too! Big brother! You are biased!"
"The boy didn't do anything," Geng Shu said. "What are you doing? Return the sword to me."
The boy put the sword aside, and when he came up to him, he was pregnant and disturbed him, and he touched it. Geng Shu felt helpless, and he took out a bag of jerky and handed it to him like a conjuration.
The next child was satisfied, Geng Shu put one hand on the scabbard and watched them eat quietly, thinking of the past in Xundong. Thinking back to that year, it would be great if he were a little older, and if he was a few years older, with his martial arts skills, he would give everything to protect the little Jiang Heng that year, and he could help Zhaofu. Going to assassinate Mi Xia, who came to attack Zhengdi, can protect Wei Po and Jiang Heng.
Like Jiang Heng will still have a home.
But at that time he had no money, no skills, nothing but himself. He couldn't buy food to make Jiang Heng happy, nor could he go to the mountain of knives to fight the sea of fire for him, he could only stay by his side, and in the end he was in danger of losing him.
It's all life. Geng Shu remembered what Empress Dowager Jiang said again, and took his own life.
Outside Xiangfu came again, Geng Shu clenched his sword subconsciously and turned his head to look. I saw a young man in the front yard, followed by four guards, who was the Crown Prince An Xiong'an.
"His Royal Highness!" The Xiang family's children recognized him and hurried forward to salute Prince An.
Prince An and Geng Shu briefly looked at each other, glanced at his hand on the sword, and smiled. Geng Shu was too lazy to talk to him, let alone say hello to him. As long as Jiang Heng was not at his side, he should socialize and socialize. Occasionally salute, but also to see Jiang Heng's face.
Prince An didn't care, touched the head of a child, and went into the front hall. Not long after, when Geng Shu saw Jiang Heng's greeting and Xiang Yu's salute, he put the sword on his back and unscrewed the sword grid so that he could draw the sword and stood outside the door.
Seeing Xiang Yu, Jiang Heng only exchanged a few words of local customs, and knew each other well. He didn't say a word about last night. When Prince An arrived, he laughed and came out, knowing that everyone who was waiting would not be the same except for him. Don't .
"It's my bodyguard," Jiang Heng introduced to Prince An, "Nie Hai."
Geng Shu nodded, and Prince An Ze smiled at Jiang Heng: "You said that you paid for it. It looks like a good hand. How much does it cost to hire a young hero?"
Geng Shu said indifferently: "I don't have much money, after all, life is cheap."
Jiang Heng said with a smile: "He has always been ignorant, which made His Highness laugh."
"It's okay," the prince said, unintentionally, glanced at the light saber again, and smiled, "Young and talented, you should be proud of yourself. Just please, I couldn't exhaust the landlord yesterday. Friendship, Mrs. Jiang must give me a chance."
are the four princes Jiang Heng has met.
Zhao Ling, Li Mi, Juicy, and now Xiong An.
Each and every prince has a similar temperament, that is, a gentle and approachable personality. This is due to the teachings of the Wang family. To become a future ruler, you must have a broad mind. As for each prince, you have their own characteristics. Zhao Ling's city is very deep, Li Mi is modest but ambitious, and Juicy now seems to be the kindest and most benevolent one.
When Prince An officially met for the first time, Jiang Heng's impression was "conceited" in his speech, as if he knew nothing about Jiang Heng before, let alone why his father wanted such a proton.
"In the Yongchaotang," said Prince An, "Is it very hard?"
Jiang Heng smiled and said, "It's okay, eating and living is naturally not more luxurious than Ying."
Prince An said: "When you come, you should take a leave of absence and have a good rest."
When Si Fang came to the carriage, Xiang Yu said, "Brother Nie, if you don't dislike it, come with me?"
Geng Shu glanced at Jiang Heng and signaled to ask, Jiang Heng nodded, and he and Prince An got into the car alone. Xiang Yu and Geng Shu got into the back car.
Prince An Jue did not mention Lord Changling, and said, "Jiang Heng, you are Xun Dongfang."
Jiang Heng sat in the car and said hurriedly: "Yes, since I was sensible, I have been in Xundong."
While speaking, Jiang Heng suddenly thought of one thing, when did his mother move to Zheng? Was he born in that mansion
Prince An thought about it, and seemed to have nothing to say. After all, being stiff is not good, and he said, "My father said, have you been to many homes?"
Jiang Heng said sincerely: "Except Liang, all the five under heaven have been there, including Luoyang, the capital of the emperor."
In these years, even an ordinary minister has very few chances to leave his home, and there is only one possibility to go to him. One is to go on an envoy; , the opportunity to travel to various places is very, very rare. Jiang Heng is young, but he has traveled four times. Looking at the world, there are not many people with a rich life like him.
Prince An said: "Then what do you think Jiangzhou is compared to other places?"
The King of Ying, Xiong Lei, is no longer in charge. Most of the affairs in the city are governed by Prince An. Xiong Lei now controls the army and expresses opinions on diplomacy and strategy. In addition, all matters related to people's livelihood and taxation belong to the East Palace.
The name Prince is obviously more experienced and much older than Juicy.
Jiang Heng thought for a while, then smiled: "Richer than anyone else."
"Blue Gourd Sword Fairy"
Prince An was very satisfied, and looked at Jiang Heng with the mentality and eyes of the small and remote people who came to pay tribute, and said, "I know there are many shortcomings in this book. My father also asked me to ask Taiji Jiang for more advice. In the past, under the rule of the emperor, it was the real capital of the world, when will it be able to reproduce the glory of 600 years ago?"
Prince An said nothing about Yong, apparently not admitting that he was a "family", and comparing his political achievements was only Luoyang. Jiang Heng said: "Yes, all the people are like rivers and rivers, galloping endlessly. It is very difficult to be praised by thousands of generations."
Prince An said, "What do you think is still lacking?"
Jiang Heng thought for a while, and said, "Today, I came to General Xiang's mansion from the palace and saw a scene. Perhaps in the next year and a half, Your Highness, wanting to be praised by the people, can take a look at it. effort?"
Prince An's face was not very good-looking, Jiang Heng cleverly saved him face, and said, "As the Crown Prince, I am too busy to manage all the time, and my subordinate's report will go wrong, and I will deceive me. It will always be there, so you have to find time to see it for yourself."
At the same time, in the other carriage, Xiang Yu was not in front of Jiang Heng, and suddenly seemed to have changed. He didn't say a word to Geng Shu, not even a polite greeting.
Geng Shu didn't even look at him a few more times, knowing that the other party regarded him as an ordinary bodyguard, he just folded his arms and leaned his back against the car window, watching the movements along the way and the carriage in front of him.
Finally, Xiang Yu opened his mouth.
"Have you come up with an idea to assassinate you?" Xiang Yu said lightly.
"That's not your job?" Geng Shu said solemnly, "We were assassinated in Yingdi, what can you think?"
Xiang Yu said, "I sent a group to investigate, but I couldn't find it."
Geng Shu said: "Then we have to forget it."
One question and one answer, simple and direct.
"There are quite a few people who have enemies with you," Xiang Yu raised his eyebrows and said to Geng Shu, "You still have to be careful when you act normally, don't you think, Brother Nie?"
Geng Shu replied coldly: "You have to be careful. If Mrs. Jiang made a mistake, who do you think will come to trouble you?"
Xiang Yu smiled and ignored it, naturally knowing what Geng Shu was referring to, Yong Ying's anger had not yet reached his eyes, but King Ying's madness would definitely burn Xiang Yu to ashes first.
You want to live forever! If something goes wrong and Xiong Lei's thoughts are interrupted, Xiang Yu's family will be in bad luck.
