Geng Shu immediately raised his head and saw Princess Wuying, and then another Haidongqing fluttered its wings and flew past the ceiling.
Princess Wuying's long hair is loose, and she wears a white robe in the moonlit night, her sleeves are loosely rolled, her white wrists are exposed, her bare feet are dipped in the cold stream, her face is shrouded in moonlight, like a fairy in the mountains. Whoever looked at it would never have imagined that the person in front of him was actually a Valkyrie outside the Great Wall.
"Surprise?" Princess Wuying's expression, but she thought the nephew's stunned appearance was very interesting.
"Come here, few people?" Geng Shu quickly regained his composure, he should have found Ju Ling's whereabouts long ago, or he was careless.
"A thousand people." Ju Ling said lightly, "When we saw Feng Yu, we followed its footsteps and came along the mountain stream. Your father was very angry with you."
The two looked at each other across the water, and Geng Shu thought about it and said, "I thought he should have known."
"Jiang Heng asked you to do this?" Jue Ling said, "I hope that the family will have a good understanding of each other. This explanation is unreasonable."
"There's never been a consonance, it's all dictated by the overall situation." Geng Shu replied, "This is my judgment, I know that as long as Zhaoshui succeeds, you will come out of the Yubi Pass and attack Anyang."
"You think more than before." Ju Ling said lightly.
Although Jue Ling rarely interferes in the decision-making of the government, especially the civil servants, she also noticed that Ju Cong secretly attacked Jiang Heng, and there would always be some clues, such as Wei Zhuo's eyes, the mobilization of troops, and the military power of Geng Shu through personnel appointments. of secret constraints. All signs point to the same possibility: Geng Shu has the idea of betraying the juice family.
"What did he say?" Geng Shu got up and asked.
"You didn't say anything." Ju Ling said casually, "Your brother pleaded for you for one night. He decided that at least now he won't come to trouble you. You'd better go see him."
"Let's talk about it," Geng Shu said, "do the things in front of you first."
Jue Ling looked at Geng Shu with doubts, even at this time, this nephew was still worried about Yong Guo, otherwise he would not send troops to guard Zhao Ling's only path, ready to attack Liang's reinforcements at any time. There is only one reason for this, and he is loyal to Yong.
But he has become different. The former Geng Shu was like an emotionless beast. If he was asked to bite anyone, he would go up bravely. But now he has his own opinion and his own decision, and Jiang Heng's arrival has become the dividing point.
Juicong couldn't control him anymore. This is Juaya's biggest idea.
"Are you coming?" Geng Shu asked.
He didn't tell Jue Ling the truth. First, he lacked evidence. Second, he didn't want Ju Ling to face the same predicament. Knowing the secret, he had to make a choice, whether to choose Ju Cong or Ju Lang's posthumous son. cruel.
It is enough for Geng Shu to undertake this kind of thing.
"Let's fight," Ju Ling stood up on the other side and said, "Everyone has come. But I still insist, you'd better go see your father after everything is over. Otherwise, don't blame me for not reminding you, because of his behavior. Temper, you know what will happen."
Geng Shu turned around and disappeared into the woods under Ju Ling's gaze.
Early in the morning, there were bursts of bird calls in the mist, and a scream in the mist woke Jiang Heng instantly.
"What sound?" Jiang Heng rushed out, and the soldiers couldn't tell the difference.
"Owl?"
The cry was too short for Jiang Heng to judge, so the guard went to report Xiang Yu, who was coming back soon.
"The general said, it's Xiao." The guard said, "He will come back to drink tea with you soon, please don't worry."
Jiang Heng woke up early. For a few days, he followed Xiang Yu to leave the country of Ying all the way north, bypassing Mount Yuheng, and headed for Zhaoshui. When he learned to leave Haige, this is the way he took. Compared with the flood of that year Flooding, today's mountains and fields are full of interest.
Xiang Yu escorted Jiang Heng out this time, and he also brought an army of 20,000 people with him. This is already the property of the Ying country. The Yingdi standing army is 120,000 people. First, he sent 80,000 navy troops to the north, and then to Xiang Yu. There are 20,000 army troops, and now there are 10,000 garrison troops and 10,000 navy troops guarding Jiangzhou.
"Why bring so many people?" Jiang Heng said unexpectedly.
Xiang Yu said: "You must be responsible for the migration of people from Zhaoshui City, move them to the south, and turn Zhaoshui into an important place for garrisoning troops."
This is the decision made by the Ying Kingdom from top to bottom. Juicong will soon occupy Anyang. In the future, the Ying Kingdom wants to dominate the Central Plains. Zhaoshui will be the front line directly bordering Yong, and it must consolidate its record.
Winning Zhaoshui will make Ying take a big step towards the future of ruling the world.
"Isn't this what you suggested?" Xiang Yu brewed tea for Jiang Heng, holding the tea leaves in his gloved hand, putting them in the pot, and said casually.
"Uh," Jiang Heng said, "I did say so, but I didn't expect him to hear it."
Xiang Yu said, "You have done me a big favor. At first, I still had a headache. How can I gather such a group of people?"
Jiang Heng: "?"
Xiang Yu made the tea and gave it to Jiang Heng. After thinking about it, he said, "Your vision has always been brilliant. Let's go. If you can arrive at Zhaoshui one day earlier, you will be able to meet with your brother one day earlier."
When the army set off, Jiang Heng watched the soldiers pack the tent for him, and suddenly noticed a person.
"Hey!" Jiang Heng laughed, "Are you back?"
The young man turned around and saw that Jiang Heng recognized him, he smiled restrainedly at him, and saluted.
That was Xiang Yu's driver. When they first arrived in Yingdu, he drove the car for them and introduced the customs and customs along the way.
"Long time no see." Jiang Heng guessed that Xiang Yu's wife was worried about him going out and sent a family member to serve him with him. Jiang Heng wanted to have a few words with him, but the young man slowly backed away, shook his head, and left without saying anything.
When he turned around, Jiang Heng suddenly found that his sleeves were empty and both hands were chopped off.
"His hand was cut off and his tongue was cut off by the prince, Mr. Jiang," a soldier said, "I can't answer your words, please come here."
Jiang Heng: "Why?! What did he do wrong?"
The soldier said, "I don't know, Xu said something he shouldn't have said. It's time for us to go, my lord."
Jiang Heng felt that something was wrong, so he rode his horse and rushed to Xiang Yu's side.
"What happened to your driver?" Jiang Heng asked in disbelief.
"His name is Xiang Wu," Xiang Yu said, not surprised at all, "you can call him Xiao Wu, obedient boy, just call him and he will come over."
"I mean..." Jiang Heng said, "Why did he have his tongue cut? Because when he was driving the car for me and Nie Hai that day, did he say something wrong?"
Xiang Yu rode his horse, walking in front of him, with a team that could not see the end behind him.
Xiang Yu: "Jiang Heng, we still have a few days to go to Zhaoshui."
Jiang Heng confirmed his conjecture—Xiang Yu's silence on this was his acquiescence.
"Why?" Jiang Heng asked.
"Isn't it like this, Juicong?" Xiang Yu showed a rare look of boredom and said to Jiang Heng, "Is it difficult to understand?"
Jiang Heng didn't say any more, Xiang Yu said, "That's why I said, there is not a good person in the royal palace of the Ying Kingdom. They are rotten to the root."
"Treading the Stars"
Jiang Heng was silent for a moment, then said, "Because Xiao Wu took us to places we shouldn't go."
"Yes," Xiang Yu replied bluntly, "it would be a shame to let the prince sit in front of foreign guests. I shouldn't have brought him out, but thinking about it, living in Zhaoshui might be better for him. Watch out for bumping into you."
Suddenly, Xiang Yu laughed, restored his gentle expression, and said, "Mr. Jiang."
At this time, Jiang Heng felt that his smile and gentleness contained deep and deep hatred.
"Will you still choose Prince An?" Xiang Yu said.
"I used to think," Jiang Heng's tone became cold and sad, and he followed Xiangyu's horse side by side, walking slowly through the mountain road and through the fog, "whoever I choose will be the future emperor. At least there is hope that this is the case. ."
"But now," Jiang Heng sighed, looked at the mist, and said sadly, "I finally understand that I can't change anything, but I am arrogant."
Xiang Yu smiled and said, "There's no need to belittle yourself. You have indeed changed a lot of people. You can only say that this is their problem."
"Don't console me anymore."
Jiang Heng said tiredly, this was the first time he really had the idea of giving up.
"I don't know why," Xiang Yu said in a trance, "I always have a hunch that after arriving in Zhaoshui this time, we will never see each other again for the rest of our lives. Xu will wait for you to return to Yingdu. It is the day when the country of Ying fell."
Jiang Hengshang didn't know what was going to be waiting for him on the way in the future, but Xiang Yu's words made him feel ominous.
"That's not the case." Jiang Heng said lightly, "It's all shameless people who die, and shameless guys, but it won't be his turn for a while."
"That's right." Xiang Yu nodded in approval, "In other words, before I came out, His Highness gave me a secret order to send me to General Qu Fen Qu."
Jiang Heng replied: "Since it's a secret order, it shouldn't be said. You just know it. After all, it's not a glorious thing to peek at the secret order."
"I've read it all, I can't take the blame alone, I think you should know." Xiang Yu thought for a while and replied, "There are no eternal enemies in the world, and there are no eternal allies."
"Yeah." Jiang Heng guessed the content of the secret order based on these words. In fact, shortly after he arrived in Jiangzhou, Xiang Yu kept hinting that the covenant between him and Ying was not strong, and he would turn his face at any time.
It's just that Jiang Heng didn't expect that the moment to turn his face came so quickly.
"Conversely, it's just as reasonable. There are no permanent friends, let alone permanent enemies." Xiang Yu said, "I always think we can still be friends, what do you think?"
"What is the content of the secret order?" Jiang Heng finally said.
"Let General Qu lead his troops northward, secretly march along the Yellow River, cooperate with the Zheng people, and attack Juicong," Xiang Yu replied, "drive them back to Yubi Pass, and then capture Anyang City and expand the results of the battle."
Jiang Heng said: "It's a pity that Zheng Ren was driven away by me first."
Xiang Yu smiled and said: "So I always feel that Mr. Jiang doesn't seem to like calculating people, but he is calculating all the time."
Jiang Heng replied: "The prince is not satisfied with Zhaoshui, and he still wants Anyang... This is too greedy. But it is reasonable and reasonable, and he is the winner." After he said, he thought about it, and said: "I However, there is a way to let everyone not lose their peace and let General Qu and General Xiang complete their mission successfully."
Xiang Yu nodded and said, "I would like to listen carefully."
