"You always like to wear gloves on your hands." Geng Shu said.
Jiang Heng indicated with his eyes that there is no need to ask more questions, there must be questions that others don't want to say.
Xiang Yu was very generous, took off a glove and raised his right hand to show them, only to see a red burn mark on the back of his hand.
"Once upon a time, I took something from the fire," Xiang Yu said. "I don't know how high the sky is, and I burned my hands. This is the so-called 'taking grain from the fire'."
Jiang Heng really likes Xiang Yu, he is a gentle person.
"Take what?" Geng Shu said.
"Take something that is very important to me." Xiang Yu glanced at Jiang Heng and said casually, "But in the end, it still burned to ashes."
Jiang Heng knew that he didn't want to talk, so he signaled Geng Shu not to ask.
"Jiang Heng also has a burn scar," Geng Shu said, "on the lower back."
Jiang Heng knew that Geng Shu had always remembered his scars over the years, and every time he remembered it, he was blamed by Geng Shu for not killing the one who deserved it because it was the one who saved him and the house was on fire. people, almost causing them to die in a sea of fire.
"There used to be a birthmark there," Jiang Heng said with a smile, "it doesn't make much difference."
"It fell when I was a child." Xiang Yu put on gloves and said casually, "Fire is always scary, try not to touch it."
Geng Shu said "uh", looked into Xiang Yu's eyes, and frowned slightly.
"You can't play with fire," Geng Shu said. "Those who play with fire set themselves on fire."
"Yeah," Xiang Yu said lightly, "it's a very simple truth, many people don't understand it until they are burned to death."
Jiang Heng: "?"
When the carriage arrived at Nanmingfang, Xiang Yuxiang had already guessed what they wanted to do, and said, "Are you looking for someone from Taoyuan? Actually, just call them into the palace."
In the afternoon, Xiang Yu took them to a remote alley outside the Suzaku Palace. There were more than 100 houses of various sizes, and it was the temporary habitat for the theatre troupe, juggler troupe, and storytellers.
"Thank you." Geng Shu said lightly to Xiang Yu.
"I'm right outside the door." After speaking, Xiang Yu closed the door for them, standing outside the door as if he were standing on a whistle in the palace to hear the news.
Jiang Heng entered the room, an old woman was sitting in the center, Jiang Heng showed his waist card, and the other party immediately said, "Young master, please come with me."
So Jiang Heng and Geng Shu went to the backyard and saw that the troupe were sitting idle. The tall and thin man he had seen before saw the two and stood up. When Jiang Heng showed him his waist card, he immediately saluted.
"Is Jie Gui here?" Geng Shu asked.
"Your Highness is in Luoyan City," the tall and thin man said, "I'll be called Kui Ming, the sixth row, you can just call me Xiaoliu."
Seeing Kui Ming looking around, the rest of the people dispersed automatically, and Jiang Heng was still immersed in shock.
"You... what is your name Jie Gui?" Jiang Heng said, "Your Highness?"
Kui Ming was a little dazed and said, "Yes, he is His Royal Highness, don't you know?"
" Luoyan?" Geng Shu frowned, "Why are you in such a hurry to go back?"
Jiang Heng said, "Is he the prince of the Yue people?"
"Yes." Kui Ming said, "Don't you know? His real surname is 'Gou', he belongs to the royal family, and his Royal Highness 'Gou Chen' from the Yue people should say... It's the crown prince. His Highness ordered before he left. The two of you are here, and you must give your all to help.”
When Jiang Heng learned about Jie Gui's identity, he was even more surprised. Thinking of the relationship between the Jiang family and Jie Gui, he understood that more than 50 years ago, when the Kingdom of Yue fell, the royal family was still wandering for a while, but was attacked. Zheng and Ying joined forces to hunt down. The last generation of the prince disappeared more than 30 years ago, and there are no more rumors among the people.
Now that I think about it, it should be that Jie Gui changed his name and changed his surname and put him into the Lama Kingdom Palace. The Jiang family was a former nobleman, and the Gou family was a royal family.
"Do you remember the assassin that night?" Geng Shu trusts this group of people, not only trust, but also has a strange intimacy. Nie Qi speaks in general.
"Remember." Kui Ming said, "Please sit down, we have Yue tea and Yue wine, as well as snacks from our hometown. His Highness said that you will come to investigate this matter sooner or later, and arrangements have been made in advance."

Xiang Yu was standing outside the house, the young boy named Zheng Zhen was dressed in white, apparently just slipped out to hang out and came back with a flower, Xiang Yu was standing guard, a little surprised, he walked over slowly, He wanted to startle him, but Xiang Yu had already realized it.
"Why are you here?" Zheng Zhen smiled, "Did you come to see me?"
Xiang Yu looked at his eyebrows and said, "No."
Zheng Zhen said, "Who's in there? Wouldn't it be the monarch? Or the prince?"
"The Son of Heaven." Xiang Yu said solemnly.
Zheng Zhen laughed.
"I'm the Son of Heaven." Zheng Zhen wanted to push the door in after laughing.
"A very important person is talking to your father," Xiang Yu said, "don't go in."
Zheng Zhen took Xiang Yu's gloved hand and said, "Then let's go out and play?"
"No." Xiang Yu looked into his eyes, said solemnly, and then closed his eyes, as if he was remembering something.
Zheng Zhen was on the side, leaning against the wall, standing guard with Xiang Yu.
"You haven't come to see me for a long time." Zheng Zhen said.
"The palace is very busy." Xiang Yu said.
Zheng Zhen said: "Are you busy receiving guests? Who was the person you brought last time? They all said that he looked a bit like me. I noticed that when I was singing on the stage, you always turned your head, Look at him through the curtain, when he came, you didn't look at me at all."
Xiang Yu did not answer.
"It was you who used to be good friends," Zheng Zhen said with a smile to Xiang Yu, "I guessed right? Otherwise, you wouldn't paint my eyebrows like him..."
Then, Xiang Yu raised his left hand, without looking at Zheng Zhen, he grabbed his throat and slowly tightened it. Although his left hand was hidden under the glove, it was like cast iron. Zheng Zhen couldn't struggle, instead he let go of his hands and stared at Xiang Yu, dumbfounded, but his eyes seemed to have a lot to say.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps came, Xiang Yu let go of him, Zheng Zhen coughed and had difficulty breathing, and Xiang Yu turned to support him with one hand.
Jiang Heng opened the door and said in a low voice to Xiang Yu, "General Xiang."
In that short moment, Xiang Yu regained his gentle eyes, raised his eyes to Jiang Heng, and raised his eyebrows.
"We discussed a solution," Jiang Heng said. "Maybe it will work. You have to spend at least one night here. You don't have to worry about it. They are all from Yue, and they are my former clan... Are you all right?" Are you Xiaozhen? What's wrong?"
Jiang Heng noticed that something was wrong with Zheng Zhen, always turned his back to him, coughed on the side of the alley, and stepped forward to take care of him with concern, but Xiang Yu lightly held Jiang Heng's wrist with his left hand, preventing him from getting close.
"He's fine." Xiang Yu said.
Zheng Zhen blushed and glanced at Jiang Heng. Today, in the sun, Jiang Heng looked at his eyebrows and felt that he was not very similar to him.
"So what?" Xiang Yu motioned to Jiang Heng to continue.
"We... will stay here for a while," Jiang Heng said. "You go to the palace first."
Xiang Yu said, "I have to stay. It's my duty to protect you. Although I know that little brother Nie Hai is highly skilled in martial arts, you can't let me leave without permission."
Jiang Heng also knew that Xiang Yu could not be persuaded.
"I won't tell anyone," Xiang Yu said, "unless you promise me I can."
Jiang Heng had no choice but to nod and said, "I really caused you trouble."
Xiang Yu didn't even look at Zheng Zhen, and followed Jiang Heng in.
Seeing Xiang Yu coming, Kui Ming didn't ask any more questions. He believed as long as Jie Gui believed, and he naturally believed in the people Jiang Heng had brought. He didn't need to say more, so he spread out the Suzaku Palace and half of them. A map of Jiangzhou City, and began to explain to them.
Geng Shu frowned deeply and listened.
This is the method proposed by Jiang Heng. They all know very well that they must find out the origin of this group of assassins as soon as possible and get the evidence, otherwise the enemy is in the dark, and they are in the light. .
At night, after Juicong listened to the military report from Yubi Pass, the prince Taki came. The father and son chatted a few times, which was nothing more than a matter of reform. There were a few homely sentences. Then, Juicong suddenly mentioned the prince Taki. A bit of a surprise marriage.
He has grown up. This is Juicong's strongest thought about his son. When did he grow up
Prince Taki's eyes were strangely similar to Jiang Heng, but Jiang Heng was exposed, while Juicy Taki was restrained. At first, Juicong only felt that Jiang Heng had learned a lot about his son who was obedient to his own words. After the battle with Luoyan, Juicong was always thinking about it. No... It's not because of Jiang Heng, the eyes of his own son, he has seen it long ago, his meekness is not because he is afraid of him, but because he is his father.
"Before the federation," Juicong said, "Dad will get engaged for you."
Prince Taki was just a little startled, then accepted the reality without any objection.
"Father's engagement for me must be suitable." Prince Taki replied.
Juicong said indifferently: "Dad can't tell. In these days, Dad has thought about it carefully. Jiang Heng's words are very reasonable."
Prince Taki didn't know why Ju Cong changed the subject, didn't know what it meant, and just listened quietly.
"For example, in this great battle of the world, there is a war on the surface, but in reality, there is more that we need to do." Ju Cong said, "We must stabilize the country first, father also No, your child is Daiguo's grandson."
Prince Taki said softly "Yeah".
Prince Taki saw that Jie Gui had been standing behind his father today, and did not ask anything.
"Do you understand what Dad means?" Juicong said, "After that, Dad will marry a concubine for you, maybe the Zhou family, but I haven't decided yet."
Although Prince Taki rarely talks about men and women, he probably understands it. Juicong added: "It's a pity that the Geng family has no daughter. If Juicong had a younger sister, everything would be perfect."
Prince Taki was a bit dumbfounded, Ju Cong looked at his son quietly and said, "You must get married."
"Yes, Father." Prince Taki accepted the arrangement from the bottom of his heart. He did not resist, and he knew even more that his marriage was related to the future of the Yong Kingdom. importance. What's more, he loves his father and his family, and he believes that his father will not harm him.
The juice cong car cracked the ox min, this is a thorn on his side, so that they can no longer be the same as before, but the body is affected by the parents, even if the father wants to kill him, he can only Let him kill.
It's just that sometimes, Prince Taki would rather die on behalf of his advisors than let them die by Ju Cong.
Prince Taki sometimes has a pessimistic and stubborn thought. He loves his father and hates him. The hatred comes from the pain of losing other people close to him.
He was placed too many expectations, and sometimes he also imagined Jiang Heng, he had no responsibility, so no matter what he did, it was worthy of recognition.
And what about him? If you do it well, that is the duty of the prince; if you do it badly, you will be scolded by the people of Yong and the rest of the world.
"Let's go." Juicong said, "You don't have to tell your grandmother first."
Prince Taki was gone, and he began to speculate that the princess who was about to arrive might not be well served.
Ji Shuang and Geng Shu didn't succeed at first, but now they are about to become his crown princess.
"He is an obedient child." Juicong sorted out the diplomatic note in front of him, stamped it with the king's seal, and said to himself.
Jie Gui did not answer.
"It hurts to be obedient, and it's still stupid," Juicong said again, "I just want to give him the best in the world. Did you think the same way when you were with him?"
Jie Gui replied at this time: "Yes."
Juicong raised his eyes and said, "It's fortunate that I only gave birth to this one back then. Unlike Li Hong's fellow, who caused the brothers under his knees to fight against each other and fight against each other in the same room, not to mention the happiness of the family, he ruined a country alive. The future of…”
Saying that, Ju Cong sighed again and said helplessly: "Li Sheng has been dead for so many years, and I didn't expect it. It's a pity."
Jie Gui knew that Juicong had already begun to suspect, and these words were all hinting to him that the dispute over the choice of the royal heir would consume the strength of a country and eventually destroy Juicang's lofty aspirations.
Jie Gui replied, "Sometimes I always think, if I had brothers at the time, and the brothers were of one mind, wouldn't the country of Yue never perish?"
Juicong stopped, unable to judge for a while, whether it was a mockery or a warning from Jie Gui.
Jie Gui thought for a while, then said, "Afterwards, I gradually understood."
"Understand what?" Juicong said.
"I understand that this is not something I can decide," Jie Gui said. "What's not in my life is not there."
Juicong was holding a page of the document, his fingers trembling a little, it was a letter that was about to be sent to Dai Guo.
"Are you injured?" Juicong said suddenly, "I heard you speak, it seems that you are out of breath."
Jie Gui replied: "The old injury, which fell when defending the city in winter."
Juicong raised his eyes, looked outside the door, and pondered for a moment: "Go and rest if you are injured, you don't have to watch tonight."
Jie Gui replied "Yes", and just before leaving, Juicong said again: "By the way, pass Wei Zhuo here."
