Jiang Heng suddenly remembered that he had been so immersed in the announcement that he was about to be killed, he forgot to ask Zian.
"What did Zian say?" Jiang Heng said.
"I didn't say anything," Geng Shu said. "I was reciting the scriptures over and over. When I saw 's face, I couldn't help but want to beat ."
Jiang Heng laughed and said, "Aren't you the same?"
Saying that, Jiang Heng stretched out his hand and gently rubbed Geng Shu's yang acupoint. Geng Shu was obviously very comfortable and moved a little.
"What did you say?" Jiang Heng asked.
"Let mobilize the troops and horses of Song County, and then add 80,000 people to , and lead the troops out to fight for the country of Ying." Geng Shu said.
"Is Liang Guo?" Jiang Heng thought for a second, "Guess it's probably not Zheng Guo. At most, they want to allocate more land before the federation starts."
"You're a genius, you've already guessed it," Geng Shu said.
"What about the conditions?" Jiang Heng asked.
"Take us in," said Geng Shu, "indefinitely. Lord Ling and the others have never dealt with each other. King Ying doesn't like it, and neither does his son. They were killed back then, and there was no one in the country. Speak for . Ying Guo and father... and our father, there is no blood feud."
Jiang Heng remembered another thing and said, "Could the assassin be a disciple of Lord Ling during his lifetime?"
"It's possible," Geng Shu said, "but Yingren's martial arts won't be that strong."
Geng Shu opened his eyes and said, "A disciple of Lord Ling before his death? You may have found a clue."
Jiang Heng stopped his movements and thought in a daze, that in those days when Lord Ling died at the hands of Geng Yuan, and his disciples were scattered all over the world, it was inevitable that there would be people from all corners of the world who would take revenge for him.
"Hey," Geng Shu said, seeing Jiang Heng's finger stop, "Where's the reward?"
Jiang Heng looked down at Geng Shu, who was resting on his lap, and Geng Shu said, "Although it won't be very strong, I can take a sword to deal with it, young master, you hire me to protect your money. If you don’t give it, don’t you think you can just let it go like this?”
Jiang Heng laughed, lowered his voice, Geng Shu's eyes widened instantly, and then Jiang Heng kissed his face.
Geng Shu's face was flushed all of a sudden, and he stood up on one hand, but Jiang Heng hugged him so that he could still sleep soundly. see.
Jiang Heng said, "Are you getting paid?"
Geng Shu resented Jiang Heng as if his teeth were itchy, he suppressed many impulses, and all his unwillingness was turned into one sentence, threatening:
"Use people to face forward, not to use people to move forward."
Jiangzhou City is really big, Jiang Heng only felt that he was in the car all day, no matter where he went, he took the car, and all his time was spent in the car. The habits of the Ying people are different from those of the Yong people. The Yong people like to ride horses. Yingdu is crowded with houses and the roads are narrow. This is the pattern planned nearly a hundred years ago. It is very easy for a vertical horse to collide with the people.
There are a lot of people living here, and nearly 400,000 people were squeezed into the original Jiangzhou Sandao ring circle. When they couldn't live there anymore, they only expanded outward one by one. In the prefecture city, the number of people per mu of land is the highest in the world, nearly twenty-five times that of Luoyan City.
Jiang Heng looked out from the car window, and the whole city was shining brightly, but under this light, not many were one-star oil lamps in the slums, and not many were the splendid lights of the rich mansions singing all night.
"Brother, look!" Jiang Heng was shocked and made Geng Shu look into the distance.
The waterway is winding and winding, and several rivers converge in the Chen Bingfang. There are seven bridges on the river. In the center of the water, stands a huge wooden building. The building is seven stories high and painted with lifelike and flying Suzaku. The red pattern, the sixteen-sided gilt eaves, and the layers of glazed tiles are layered on top of each other, shining with lights. In front of each tile edge hangs a bright light.
The huge lamp building is located in the center of the area, surrounded by countless sky corridors, and the large and small buildings that extend out, forming a night market like a city that never sleeps.
Geng Shu also saw this scene once, and was really shocked.
"This is your Nanmingfang."
At this time, they had long since separated from Zian, and Xiang Yu was riding a horse, walking unhurriedly in front of the carriage, with a worried expression on his face, but he forced a smile, and explained to Jiang Heng: "Nanmingfang It is the place where the world's opera arts and qin music converge. Construction started 90 years ago and took 30 years to complete. Many other halls are being built one after another, surrounding the Suzaku Palace. Light up thirty-six thousand lamps."
Jiang Heng asked, "Is it a place of sacrifice?"
"Sacrificial offerings?" Xiang Yu was taken aback and replied, "No, it's a theater, where the Wang family listens to operas, but people don't come here often, so they are open to dignitaries for entertainment on weekdays."
Geng Shu: "..."
The purpose of building such a gigantic and magnificent spectacle on earth is just for entertainment. If this project wants to mobilize the power of Yong Kingdom, it may not be able to be built.
Xiang Yu was not like Zian and King Ying. After changing them, Jiang Heng expected to say, "Haha, don't you have Yong Kingdom?"
Even Geng Shu couldn't help but say, "It's really a miracle on earth."
Xiang Yu said, "It's all the blood and sweat of the people..."
But before he finished a sentence, Xiang Yu immediately realized that he had said something he shouldn't have said, but Jiang Heng took the second half of the sentence and said, "Yongdi has a short day and a short night, and the night is cold. I don’t have the heart to make fun, unlike the south side, where the day begins at night.”
"Yes," Xiang Yu said, "one side of the water and soil supports the other side. When we arrive, let's go in."
Xiang Yu invited everyone to come to the show, presumably because of King Ying's instructions, let the two northern bumpkins have a good taste of Yingren's splendid transformation and strong national strength, and gave birth to a sense of awe. Otherwise, on this big night, who would want to come out to accompany you? I would rather go home and be with my family.
"It's hard work, General Xiang," Jiang Heng said with a smile.
"Jiang Shi guest ." Xiang Yu, unlike Zian, changed his face in an instant when he guessed Geng Shu's identity, and respected a prince. What was his attitude before, and now his attitude is like that. He only treats Jiang Heng as an important guest. He spoke very cordially and said, "Thanks to you, I actually really want to come."
Suzaku Palace is a venue for opera and fighting skills. Every night is different according to the arrangement. It is divided into seventy-two halls. Each hall is a small venue. Or tell stories about ancient times on behalf of people, and Zheng people draw swords and compete, there are many different things.
Xiang Yu was obviously of high authority, and when he got off his horse, people rushed forward. Suzaku Palace knew even more that it was a distinguished guest entertained by King Ying. Please."
Geng Shu's expression was cold and silent, and he looked at the people around him as if nothing was there, and only focused on the surrounding environment. Only when Jiang Heng was talking with him did Geng Shu turn around and show an expression of listening intently.
"It's the Jiaofang," Xiang Yu said, "Want to visit the Jiaofang?"
Jiang Heng waved his hand hurriedly and said, "Just listen to the general's arrangement."
The deacon led the way and greeted Geng Shu with warm greetings, while Jiang Heng and Xiang Yu fell a little.
Xiang Yu thought for a while and said, "Mr. Jiang is not married yet?"
"No." Jiang Heng said.
"You can play more before getting married," Xiang Yu said with a smile. "Otherwise, if you get married, you won't have a chance."
Jiang Heng laughed and said, "Is this General Xiang's mood?"
The deacon took them to a small room, separated by cicada-like gauze curtains on all sides, and saw the stage clearly in the distance. Xiang Yu then said, "The two of you, please rest here for a while, it's in the next room."
Jiang Heng and Geng Shu sat down, and the people in the box were crowded, all of them were nobles from Yingdi, or one case for two people, one case for three people, waiting for the night show to start, with a bright stage in the center, sitting north facing south, with lights on. Transparent, waiting for the show to start.
The deacon personally led ten attendants, and set up the night food, which was dazzling.
"I've said it," Geng Shu said, "Go on, you don't need to keep anyone."
Everyone dispersed, Yu Jiangheng and Geng Shu were in the box, and Xiang Yu, who was blocked by a gauze curtain, was sitting alone drinking, quite lonely.
"Eat?" Geng Shu said to Jiang Heng.
Jiang Heng sat in the box full of lights and suddenly felt like a dream.
Geng Shu tasted the same first, as if he was afraid that someone might poison it, and finally said to Jiang Heng, "This should be meat roasted with fruit and wood, and it tastes good."
Jiang Heng ate some with Geng Shu's hand, and said, "The people from Yingguo have a lot more sentiment than those from Yong."
The mind of a young man is still playful, even if the life of the lavish and lustful life should not be, and seeing new things, he is still interested.
"There are many beautiful places in the world," Geng Shu said. "I promised to take you to see the sea, but I didn't. I will take you there."
Jiang Heng said, "You haven't been there yourself. You've been to no more places than you have ever been to."
"I've been there," Geng Shu replied casually, "I've been there in my dreams, only the two of us in my dreams."
"Reincarnation Paradise"
Jiang Heng laughed, and when he heard the noise next door, the two turned to look together, only to see the guard reporting in the box where Xiang Yu was, and talking softly in his ear, Xiang Yu was expressionless, only listening in silence on.
Obviously, the incident happened in the afternoon, and Xiang Yu's life was going to be difficult immediately. He was instructing his subordinates to expeditiously investigate, and his subordinates were reporting the situation to like a stream of water, and he was uneasy even watching a play.
"It's not easy either," Jiang Heng said, laughing and crying.
Geng Shu said: "I already have a wife and children, so why do I like to come out and have fun?"
Jiang Heng thought for a while, and said, "Maybe I'm tired at ordinary times, so I'll always find a place to relieve myself."
Geng Shu: "Isn't going home just a distraction? Staying with you is a lot easier. I don't understand."
Jiang Heng thought, "It's not our fault?" It's not like they're here, and Xiang Yu doesn't have to accompany the guests.
"Have you found the assassin?" Jiang Heng couldn't help but ask.
"What?" Geng Shu returned to his senses and replied, "No. Don't worry, come one, kill one, you'll play with yourself." He clapped the sword beside him, and said he didn't think about it. .
As he was talking, Jiang Heng saw a figure on the side of the stage. The man was wearing a costume and his hair was like a waterfall. He was walking up the stairs on the side of the stage, carrying a front placket. come.
"So beautiful!" Jiang Heng whispered.
"It's a boy." Geng Shu observed his movements and posture and said.
When the young man walked up the stairs, the aristocratic teenagers below him shouted and looked up. I saw walking gracefully, like a snow-white butterfly, getting into the box and going straight into Xiangyu's room. Then, a soft voice sounded from the next door.
"The general is here." The voice was extremely pleasant, like the sound of heaven.
"There are guests," Xiang Yu replied, "be more disciplined and don't make trouble."
Xiang Yu said something in a low voice, which seemed to make his voice quieter, so he could only listen to the intermittent conversation. Through the curtain, he saw the young man pouring wine for Xiang Yu himself.
Geng Shu glanced at Jiang Heng, then looked at the next door, and then looked at Jiang Heng.
Jiang Heng thought to himself that it was no wonder that Xiang Yu should have known the actors here. Tonight, taking advantage of the opportunity to entertain them, he actually came to see them. However, Xiang Yu's movements were very regular. He didn't touch the glass. Even when the wine glass was connected, his fingers were carved to avoid touching each other. took it.
"Don't think nonsense," Jiang Heng smiled at Geng Shu, "others are not like that."
"What are you thinking about?" Geng Shu looked at the next door, and then at Jiang Heng, his eyes were a bit complicated, "I just think, that child is a bit like you."
Jiang Heng: "…"
Geng Shu immediately came to his senses and said the wrong thing. He compared his younger brother to a singer, and other people would definitely give birth.
"It means... It's not that kind of thinking." Geng Shu hurriedly began to explain.
Jiang Heng didn't feel offended at all. After all, in the habit of the emperor, from the emperor to the merchants and pawns, they are all the same, and there is no distinction between high and low.
"Like it?" Jiang Heng looked around curiously, it was obvious that he didn't dare to do it.
The young man Geng Shujue is very similar to Jiang Heng in appearance, but the charm and quality are completely different. Of course I didn't dare to say any more. Seeing that the young man poured three glasses of wine for Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu whispered to . Although they kept the ceremony, the young man was obviously very happy.
"Really." Jiang Heng also found out that the boy was only thirteen or fourteen years old. His eyebrows, eyes, and the bridge of his nose seemed to have been carved engravedly, just like he looked like when he was a child.
"Yeah." Geng Shu replied, sitting over, blocking Jiang Heng's sight, and turned to look at Jiang Heng's eyes, Jiang Heng wanted to look again, but Geng Shu was not happy anymore, and put his face on his face. Turning to the side, he said, "What are you looking at? You can only look at the ."
Jiang Heng laughed, vaguely aware of Xiang Yu's kindness towards him, is that so
