Jiang Heng felt dizzy in the bathtub, Geng Shu scrubbed him lightly, Jiang Heng hurriedly held his hand, and the two looked at each other. Geng Shu laughed suddenly, knowing that Jiang Heng was nervous, so he lightly patted his side face with the back of his finger and raised his eyebrows, thinking that he knew what he was thinking and couldn't fool around in the bath.
There are a lot of guards in the palace, and if they do absurd things here, they will definitely spread the word. Geng Shu still knows how to act.
Jiang Heng said very little today, and his mind was full of what happened last night. Everything seemed to be different, and it seemed that there was not much difference. The former Geng Shu is back, and their relationship has never changed since many years ago.
"What?" Geng Shu asked, Jiang Heng got dressed and led him to the East Palace for breakfast.
"No... no." Jiang Heng's eyes dodged a little, very uncomfortable.
"Wipe the corners of your mouth." Geng Shu said to Jiang Heng.
Jiang Heng: "…"
Jiang Heng smiled lightly, Geng Shu pulled the collar for him again, covering the red marks on his neck, Jiang Heng walked into the main hall of the East Palace with reproach in his eyes.
He originally wanted to have another discussion with Prince Taki today, but he didn't expect Ji Shuang to be in the hall, which caught him off guard.
Prince Taki was chatting casually with Ji Shuang, and two brothers Zeng Rong and Zeng Yu were present.
Geng Shu just shook his head and sat down.
"His Royal Highness." Jiang Heng bowed and smiled.
Ji Shuang also smiled lightly and said, "Jiang Taishi."
Prince Taki said to Jiang Heng: "Princess Shuang insists on leaving for Xichuan today, Heng'er, you should persuade her anyway."
"It's time to go back." Ji Shuang said casually, "I just came to express my condolences to King Yong. Since the funeral is already out, it's useless to stay."
Jiang Heng knew that Ji Shuang already knew, but he gave both parties a step down to avoid too much trouble, but Zeng Rong winked at Jiang Heng, thinking, is she going to let her back now? Or detain her
Prince Taki said, "Does the princess really not consider it?"
"Your Highness is joking." Ji Shuang laughed immediately, looking at Jiang Heng with a playful look. From beginning to end, she never looked at Geng Shu once.
When Jiang Heng heard this, he knew that Dong Gongqin had proposed to Jishuang, but as expected, she was rejected.
Prince Taki's marriage proposal was rejected, not only did he not feel dull, but he seemed relieved.
"When will His Highness leave?" Jiang Heng did not keep Ji Shuang.
"Let's go now." Ji Shuang suddenly said to Prince Taki, "As I parted, I remembered one more thing."
Prince Taki looked at Ji Shuang expectantly, and asked him to ask.
Ji Shuang said softly: "Jiang Taishi, my Ji family has tried my best, and I have never forgotten the great cause of unifying China for many years. I am a loyal minister of my heavenly family, and I want to ask Prince Yong to bring him back, but I still don't care. I'm doing things in the court, can you?"
When Jiang Heng heard the first half of the sentence, he secretly thought that something was wrong. Prince Taki suddenly froze for a moment, but Geng Shu burst into a burst of laughter.
Prince Taki changed his mind, and when he was about to decline, Geng Shu stopped laughing and said seriously: "That's not possible, Jutaki said it doesn't count, I won't let it."
When Ji Shuang arrived at this time, she finally smiled lightly at Geng Shu and replied, "Just kidding. Then, I will leave. Everyone, the green hills will not change, the green water will flow, and there will be a period."
Prince Taki got up, but Ji Shuang was very dashing, with arrogance and arrogance in his eyes, as if to say: I gave you the best chance.
Ji Shuang left, and the East Palace was silent. The waiter served breakfast, but Jiang Heng had no more to eat.
"There are only 2,000 of them," Zeng Rong was the first to speak in the silence, "Now let Wei Ben catch up, it's not difficult to kill them all."
Jiang Heng heard the words and said solemnly, "Zeng Rong, don't do this!"
Zeng Rong said: "A single thought will harm others and harm yourself. Once Master Jiang, Ji Shuang and Li Nuo return to China alive, they will immediately use troops against their own country!"
"She was murdered by you on the way," Jiang Heng retorted, "Will Li Xiao not use troops against his own country?"
"His Royal Highness," Zeng Rong judged the problem to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Apparently, he had made suggestions to Prince Taki again and again last night, and he persuaded him at this moment, "Never let the tiger return to the mountain, Your Highness!"
Prince Taki took a deep breath. There are too many problems in this world. He is the first to take over as the monarch, and he can't accept the act of proposing to a young woman first, and then murdering her if the proposal fails. Maybe he would, but he would never.
"Now is not the time to talk about benevolence and righteousness," Zeng Rong said.
Prince Taki said nothing, sweat dripping from his forehead.
Zeng Rong and Jiang Heng looked at each other, Jiang Heng didn't ask Geng Shu for help, Geng Shu never cared, he would kill anyone with a sword, what Jiang Heng decided, he accepted and supported unconditionally.
"You have to weigh the pros and cons," Jiang Heng said. "Zeng Rong, let's spread the pros and cons and say, how many soldiers does Daiguo have? 200,000, all come over, can Yongguo fight? Of course it can."
Zeng Rong: "It's not necessary. You knew she would lead an army to attack Dayong, so you didn't kill her first, but waited for a new battle!"
"But what is she not doing now!" Jiang Heng said, "What name are you going to use to kill her?! What will you gain by getting rid of her today? Do you still want to hold a union meeting? Who would dare to come? Federation?! Zeng Rong, this is what the previous king would do, and we can't go down this path any longer!"
Prince Taki finally said: "Let her go back."
Zeng Rong sighed and finally let Bu said: "Since we don't get rid of her, we will send troops to protect her and return to Daiguo safely, so that nothing can happen to her."
After all, the current situation in various countries is complicated. If Ji Shuang and Li Nuo have three strengths and two weaknesses in the Central Plains, the problem will only be more troublesome.
Jiang Heng said, "That's right, Zeng Yu, just go."
Zeng Yu drank tea and got up to bid farewell. Geng Shu thought for a while and said, "I'll send her off."
"I'll go." Jiang Heng changed his words, he suddenly felt that Geng Shu and Prince Taki should have something to say, maybe something needs to come to an end at this time.
Ji Shuang came to Anyang in the name of the emperor's condolences, and the marriage was a secret letter, so no one even knew about the state of Yong. Many people from Liang, Yong, and even the Central Plains came back to their knees and wept bitterly when the princess returned. Anyang spent a very lively day.
The common people belonged to the former dynasty. Even if the world was divided for a long time, it would take seven years for the Ji family to fall. People from the Central Plains still think about the past. The caravan of people was huge, lined up for nearly a mile.
This was the fall of Luoyang and Ji Xun was killed. It was the first time that Ji Shuang was officially revealed to the people as a member of the Ji family. It also implied that the world still belonged to the Ji family in name. .
Jiang Heng watched this scene, indicated that Zeng Yu was following the team, and joined the team on horseback.
Ji Shuang sat in a carriage with four open curtains, the curtains fluttering in the autumn wind, and autumn leaves were everywhere outside Anyang City.
"Seven years." Jiang Heng said.
"One hundred and twenty-three years." Ji Shuang pulled back her hair with anger in her eyes, "What seven years?"
Jiang Heng said that it was the day Ji Xun died, and it has been seven years since now. Ji Shuang said that it was the day when the Five Kingdoms refused to serve as ministers and the rituals collapsed and the music broke down.
The Ju family established the king, and took possession of the black sword and star jade under the control of the emperor, indicating the beginning of the era of declining royal power. No longer respected by the Son of Heaven, the great Shenzhou has fallen apart, and finally ended up in a situation where the Son of Heaven was encircled by the king and burned to death.
"Actually, the common people may not have liked the previous dynasty," Jiang Heng thought for a while, then said, "It's just that sometimes life is not easy, that's why people think about the old. To be fair is to elevate one's own thoughts, and it's nothing more than a myth."
"That's the truth," Ji Shuang said coldly, "but no one has said it."
Jiang Heng added: "But I still like it more than a hundred years ago."
Ji Shuang laughed and said, "You didn't live at that time, do you like it or not?"
"I read it in the book." Jiang Heng said, "At that time, the battles of various countries were all on the border of Chen's soldiers. The soldiers were 100,000 soldiers, and the armor was light. There were thousands of chariots. Convincing people. Often the strength is higher than the next, and the officers and men of both sides go home and put meals."
Ji Shuang put one hand on the back of the other hand, and looked into the distance in a trance. The bright autumn sky reflected the maple leaves on the mountain and below it, like a layer of red clouds.
"There is a story of two armies facing each other and retreating from three homes." Jiang Heng thought for a while, then said, "There is also the sadness of the whole country coming down to save the lives of the people without any bloodshed... How is it like now? The people are like beasts, slaughtering and exposing their corpses in the wilderness, or throwing them into ditches. If it is not enough to destroy the city, they have to be slashed by wheels, burn their houses, and make fun of those who have nowhere to escape.”
"The Guard is Here"
"In the great battle, people will perish." Ji Shuang knew clearly that Jiang Heng was implying her not to start another war.
But she was indifferent and only said solemnly: "This is what people have chosen. When my cousin was in Luoyang, why did the world come to protect him? Come up and sit down, Heng'er."
Jiang Heng got into the car, Ji Shuang glanced at him, and said, "Have you been tired all these years?"
"It doesn't count." Jiang Heng smiled and said it was strange. Sometimes he felt that he and Ji Shuang were like old friends for many years.
Ji Shuang said, "You, my Ji family, have done your best, and I owe you this."
Jiang Heng said that when Geng Shu and I defected to Xichuan, you didn't owe me a single thought when you wanted to kill us both.
"You're welcome." Jiang Heng said, "Anyway, people are born boring, and people always have to find something to do. It is the emperor's entrustment. Food for the king, loyalty to the king. It's your highness..."
Ji Shuang was quiet, playing with a small dagger in his hand. Jiang Heng had no doubt that Ji Shuang had the idea and ability to seal his throat with a dagger. Of course, the price is too high. Jiang Heng believes that even if many people say that the Ji family is crazy, Ji Shuang is still calm most of the time. Once she does this, it will only attract Geng Shu's crazy revenge.
"Really?" Ji Shuang turned her head and glanced at Jiang Heng.
"Your Highness, what do you want?" Jiang Heng said.
Ji Shuang laughed and said, "Will you give me what I want?"
Jiang Heng replied: "I will try my best, no guarantee."
"I want Tianzi's mother." Ji Shuang said softly, "It doesn't matter if the surname is Li or Ji, the surname is Zhao, and the surname is Xiong. It has nothing to do with me. It's just a surname, what is it?"
"In that case," Jiang Heng said, "my brother is not the best choice. Jutaki has given you another choice."
"I don't like the Ju family," Ji Shuang said lightly, "I can't let this group of trash taint the blood of the royal family."
Jiang Heng replied; "Is it really a waste?"
Ji Shuang added: "Not to mention the useless model Juicy Taki, he is going to be a father, and most of the children born are also cowards."
Jiang Heng said, "I don't think he's half-hearted. He's soft on the outside and tough on the inside. He's a firm man. At least for now, he's much better than the Shikoku prince." Jiang Heng finally pointed at the person. Said Ji Shuang's real thoughts.
"You're afraid that you won't be able to control Juicy." Jiang Heng smiled and said mysteriously, "You're afraid of him, you're afraid, sister."
Ji Shuang didn't move, sighed, and said again: "What should I be afraid of? If I am afraid, I am also afraid of your brother. I really don't want to go to war with you. Your brother is too difficult to deal with."
"I don't want to either," Jiang Heng replied, "I hope it's better not to fight."
The convoy stopped at the border of Anyang City, and if they went further down, they would enter Hanzhong and head to Daidi. Jiang Heng sent Ji Shuang away and returned to the palace. Geng Shu was shirtless and wrestling with one of the two bears, while the rest of the crowd cheered loudly.
"It's too dangerous!" Jiang Heng scolded angrily.
Although Geng Shu has a strong physique, the bear is still a head taller than him when he stands up. How can a person's stature be compared to a bear? He was simply weak and weak, so, Geng Shu kept moving and dodging, so as not to fall behind.
Meng He and others Jiang Heng got angry and quickly dispersed. Geng Shu put on his robe and walked towards Jiang Heng, wanting to hug him, Jiang Heng hurriedly indicated that this was in the palace, don't mess around.
Geng Shu: "How do you say?"
"Let Song Zou strengthen the defense of Song County," Jiang Heng said. "Garrison troops and horses on the border between Han and China, and send at least 50,000 cavalry to prepare for possible variables."
