Geng Shu slept for a full eight hours from the afternoon of the first day to the early morning of the next day. When he woke up, he found Jiang Heng holding him, and the two were lying on the same roof. No one came, and the two of them were covered with blankets.
"I thought you would never wake up again," Jiang Heng said sleepily, "I can't do this again in the future, for fear that you will fall asleep."
Geng Shu moved his wrists and replied casually, "Every time I'm by your side, I sleep soundly."
Saying that, Geng Shu held down his neck, turned his head, made a noise, and went straight to fetch water to take a bath.
The Ying Kingdom used the south of the city as a military camp, and Liang's pier was being rebuilt. Jiang Heng called someone, boiled hot water, and gave Geng Shu a bath. Geng Shu carried the bucket again and poured it on Jiang Heng's head. The two cleaned it in an old house next to the pier, and Geng Shu put on a corset. Robe, Jiang Heng dressed in Yueren clothes and came out hand in hand.
Jiang Heng asked the army camp to quickly make two big bowls of noodles for Geng Shu to eat. Geng Shu finally recovered his spirits completely, with a black sword on his back. The devil who crawled out of hell.
"Going to see your father?" Jiang Heng said, "I have something to ask him too."
Geng Shu pondered for a moment, then Jiang Heng said, "Bring Ying Jun here, that's what I meant."
The Ying army is now stationed in the city, but Juicong is not good at attacking them. As long as Xiang Yu and Qufen don't leave, Juicong can't suddenly kill them like a mad dog in front of outsiders. Jiang Heng.
What's more, King Ying told him thousands of times that Xiang Yu must protect Jiang Heng.
"Let's go." Geng Shu thought for a while.
"Go and see where Dad lived." Jiang Heng said.
Geng Shu's expression was a bit complicated, he finally nodded and took Jiang Heng's hand up the mountain.
At the same time, Juicong stood on the high platform of the other palace in Anyang, looking into the city.
His slaughter of the city was not carried out, and now all the troubles are coming towards him.
"I've been there in the past, Yang Liu Yiyi." Jiang Heng said.
Geng Shu replied, "I'll think about it now, Yu Xue Fei Fei."
The weather has not been very good recently. Overcast clouds are pressing on the ceiling of the capital Anyang, and a storm is coming. The depressing weather seems to echo faintly from fifteen years ago.
Xiang Yu and Qu Fen got the news and set out to come. They passed through the main street of Anyang. There was no massacre in the city that Geng Shu least wanted to see. But they were generously accepted.
Many people began to flee the city, but the Ying army did not stop them. They clearly told them that as long as they stayed, the Ying army would definitely protect their safety.
There is no habit of massacres in the south. In fact, in the past few hundred years, the massacre of the city has never been seen before.
The people of Beicheng began to migrate to the south, dragging their families and mouths with them, gold, silver and softness. They were really afraid that after the Ying people reached an agreement with Juicong, the Ying army would withdraw and they would be ruled by the Yong people.
Juicong's "Wheel Slash" has a well-known name. When the city is broken, adult men taller than the wheel will be beheaded. This is a habit he brought from outside the fortress. He wants all enemies to live in fear.
And what Jiang Heng once said is gradually becoming a reality. He has asked Juicong and Yongguo more than once, even if you can conquer all the cities, how many people are willing to regard you as the emperor
How long can we rule the sky by fear
Geng Shuchao said: "If the people want to leave, they can consider letting them go to Zhaoshui City."
Qu Fan said: "Your Highness should really care about Wanmin. I pat my chest and promise that I will take good care of Liang people. Everyone is from heaven. General Xiang has always been thinking about it, so you can rest assured!"
"How many of you are here?" Geng Shu asked again.
Xiang Yu said, "Two thousand imperial guards stayed behind in Zhaoshui, and more than 90,000 of Yu's army brought them here."
Ying Guo spared no effort in order to get a piece of the pie. This was Jiang Heng's plan, but it also caused great trouble for Juicong. Then, he looked like he was taking it apart.
"One of the hunting tips for hunters outside the Great Wall," Geng Shu said coldly, "When aiming at the prey with a bow and arrow, it is easiest to forget whether there is a beast staring behind you."
Qu Fen laughed and understood that Geng Shu was trying to remind him that the mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind. Sometimes, the hunter and the prey are interchangeable. Prince An sent all his family assets, and the main troops of the Ying Kingdom were all here. Ruo Juicong was also plotting against them, and suddenly counterattacked. It is unknown who will win or lose.
Must be very careful.
Qufen | Experienced in hundreds of battles, he seems to be carefree, but in fact it is very delicate, Jiang Heng is not worried about him at all.
They slowly walked up the three hundred and sixty steps in front of the Anyang Palace, which was the road of no return for the envoys of the Four Kingdoms.
"The black sword is better for you than for me." Juicong's voice echoed in the main hall, and the first sentence was addressed to Geng Shu.
Geng Shu entered first and stood still in the hall, with his legs slightly apart, facing Juicong, and said confidently, "Because that is the sword that guards Xingyu."
"Give me the Lieguang Sword," Juicong said, "The black sword is yours."
Geng Shu handed over the light, as if he had completed a handover ceremony, as if on this day, he officially took over the responsibility of his father Geng Yuan.
It's just that the responsibility lies in who to protect. The person for whom Geng Yuan gave everything is Juicong, and the one who died is Juicang. Only Geng Shu and Juicong know each other best in their hearts.
Everyone stopped, and Juicong went up to examine Jiang Heng, and Jiang Heng also took a good look at Juicong.
Will he call out swordsmen and kill us all? Jiang Heng thought to himself.
The other palace sits west to the east, just like the layout of the palaces of the Five Kingdoms, facing Luoyang in the middle of the world where the emperor is. The two armies of Yong and Ying were bounded by the central axis of Anyang City. Qu Fen and Xiang Yu stationed 4,000 soldiers outside the palace. Juicong should not dare to do anything.
Besides, he didn't have the skills of his father. If he really wanted to use a sword, Geng Shu could protect him from fleeing, and it was not difficult for Qu Fen and Xiang Yu to protect themselves. The defenders outside would come in at any time, so Juicong shouldn't be so arrogant.
Juicong looked at Geng Shu and suddenly smiled.
"General Qu and General Xiang," said Juicong, "you two have worked hard, please take a seat."
Qu Fen nodded, and went to the right with Xiang Yu to sit, while Yu Jiangheng was standing.
"Jiang Heng, you can sit down too," Juicong said with a mocking look in his eyes, "Find any seat."
Geng Shu waved to Jiang Heng, and Jiang Heng sat beside him. He couldn't help but look around, remembering that his father killed seven people here.
Bi Jie, Chongwen, Chiyanjian, Changling Lord, Gongzisheng, and Zilu.
and himself.
All five of them have the talent to end the Great Controversy. Because they were born in the same era, the Great Controversy never ends. In the end, they were all killed by Geng Yuan in one go, and they couldn't solve the problem. .
If he had stayed alone, maybe it would be much better now, but now everything falls on Geng Shu like fate.
Jiang Heng often felt that good fortune was tricking people, and fate had arranged for him and Geng Shu to go down the same path, perhaps to atone for their sins—to make atonement for the people of the world. The mess my father made must be cleaned up and made up for by them.
Juicong is now sitting where Geng Yuan used to sit, which makes Jiang Hengsheng feel strange. He doesn't know if Geng Shu is also thinking about this. After returning to Anyang, his emotion must be more than his own. many.
At this moment, Geng Shu put the black sword in front of his knees, pressed the scabbard with one hand, and listened to Juicong's talk in silence.
Juicong's voice reached the eardrum, suddenly far and near, while chatting with Qu Fen and Xiang Yu, Jiang Heng listened absently.
"His Royal Highness asked the last commander to speak," Xiang Yu thought for a while, and said, "What you asked him to do, he did for you."
Juicong said: "Not only has it been done, but more has been done."
Jiang Heng's attention turned to their conversation, and he understood that Xiang Yu didn't say the rest of the sentence - since it's all done, you should pay.
Juicong really had a deal with Prince An, Jiang Heng pondered, it should be shortly after he planned the attack on Zhaoshui, Prince An informed Juicong and agreed to jointly divide the Liang Kingdom in advance.
Qufen laughed again, but his eyes were very sharp.
"When the League of Five Nations met," Juicong said casually, "the lonely king will give him what he wants, no, now there are four kingdoms left. Who else can there be besides him?"
Jinxi? Jiang Heng thought to himself, most likely it was Jin Xi.
Xiang Yu glanced at Qu Fen, Qu Fen nodded imperceptibly, tacitly agreeing that he is not in a hurry, there is no need to do it now.
Xiang Yu asked again, "I don't know if King Yong intends to deal with King Liang and his ministers like Liang?"
"It's also a hassle," Juicong replied, "I was thinking of discussing it with you, but now they are locked in the dungeon by the Lone King. As far as I can see, weeds have to be rooted out, otherwise it's easy to leave variables. After all No one wants his father to die and his son to take revenge after ten years, right?"
Xiang Yu and Qu Fen didn't speak, they looked at each other, then looked at Geng Shu again.
Jiang Heng's heart suddenly moved, and then Juicong also looked at Geng Shu.
Juicong said: "The king's execution of his royal family is not in line with the rules. There is only one person in the world who can represent the emperor and bestow the king's death."
Jiang Heng immediately understood what Juicong meant, and only Ji Xun had the right to kill King Liang. As for himself and Geng Shu, they attacked Liang under the banner of Wang Jun. Juicong wanted to make the two of them come forward and fight against the Liang people.
When Geng Shu was about to say, "I won't do anything," Xiang Yu said, "Forgive him, but he's just a child, what can he do?"
Juicong sneered and said, "General Xiang Yu is very tolerant towards children."
Xiang Yu said lightly: "There are families and young people. When you are old, it is not always easy to open up to children. Does King Yong have no children?"
Juicong said: "One of my two sons is in Luoyan, learning to be the monarch; the other is in front of you, learning to protect the monarch. Since that's the case, it's all right to accumulate virtue for them. It's not the way."
"Give it to me, and I will take it away for disposal?" Xiang Yu said.
"Then I'll give it to you." Juicong said lightly.
Qu Fen's face was a little strange, and he turned to look at Xiang Yu. Obviously, they had not discussed the matter before they came, but Xiang Yu might have taken orders from the royal family to protect the monarch of Liang Guoguo, but what's the use of it
Jiang Heng guessed that it was to control the people of Liang. If the decision was in his hands, he would have done the same. Rather than killing a ten-year-old child, arousing grief and indignation from top to bottom in Liang Guo, It's better to make him a marquis and let him survive.
Juicong brushed the front of his robe, indicating that this is the end
"Then the discussion is over." Juicong said, "When are you going to report to Xiong Lei?"
Qu Fen smiled and said, "Your Majesty Wang, let us follow the etiquette and receive the emperor's certificate in the north. I can't say. It will be a few days. You will take over the golden seal with your own hands, and then leave for the south."
Everyone present understood the implication of Qufen, and Ying Jun wouldn't leave if he couldn't get the golden seal. As for whether to withdraw or not after getting it, it depends on their mood.
Juicong didn't get angry, didn't repeat what he said before, smiled: "Alright, then I'll have Luoyan send it over as soon as possible."
"Okay," Qu Fen said, "In a period of time, the commander will definitely restrain his soldiers, brothers and states, and put harmony first."
"Brother, Bang." Juicong nodded in approval and made a "please" gesture, which meant the negotiation was over and the guests were expelled.
Qu Fen and Xiang Yu each got up and glanced at Jiang Heng, but Jiang Heng was still sitting.
"We are waiting for you outside." Xiang Yu said to Jiang Heng.
Jiang Heng nodded. They had negotiated before they came. The Ying people's troops were stationed outside the palace. As soon as they came, Ju Cong couldn't handle it.
Juicong smiled and said, "General Xiang, please come back. One is my son and the other is my nephew. What are you waiting for?"
Xiang Yu suddenly turned around, and at that moment, he actually showed an aura that didn't put Juicong in his eyes at all.
"If I remember correctly, Mr. Jiang's identity is a proton?" Xiang Yu said sternly, "I will bring him here at the end, and naturally I should bring him back. This is the order of the king."
As he said that, Xiang Yu showed a mocking smile again: "King Yong wants to take the opportunity to ask him to go back, but he can't."
At this moment, Jiang Heng didn't know what to do, and suddenly felt that Xiang Yu was a bit like a person. That person had almost been forgotten by him. The tone of "since I brought you here, I will take you back" is very similar to the one who was sent by Prince Ling to serve him a long time ago. Zheng people "Zhao Qi".
"That's right," Juicong didn't insist, "The solitary king humbly accepts the advice and asks the two generals to wait outside the hall."
Xiang Yu then nodded to Jiang Heng and turned around with Qu Fen.
Outside the hall, the sky was pale, Qu Fen hugged his arms, lowered his voice and said, "It is not the same as what was instructed."
Xiang Yu looked at the flexion points and leaned less.
"He doesn't hand in the golden seal," Xiang Yu raised his eyebrows, "then he can't do it."
Qu said: "General Xiang."
Xiang Yu did not give in at all: "General Qu."
Qu Fen said, "It's me who has the final say, I have the prince's secret order."
"He asked me to give you the secret order." Xiang Yu said.
Qu Fen looked puzzled. After thinking about it, Xiang Yu said, "But I won't stop you. You'd better think about it. Xiong An's decisions are not always correct."
"I am the one who takes the salary of the king's family," Qu Fen said. "As a soldier, just do as instructed. Instead, it's you, Xiang Yu, don't you think that you are too lenient?"
Xiang Yu made a "helpless" gesture and said, "Since you insist on doing this, you should prepare."

Qu Fen was condescending and looked at Xiang Yu.
"I'll wait for them here," Xiang Yu said again, "after all, the golden seal has not yet arrived, don't you think?"
Qu Fen sneered and went down the steps. Sitting on the steps, Xiang Yu heard the quarrel in the hall and felt Geng Shu's anger. Therefore, he felt that he had to correct the judgment he had made on this Prince Yong.
