It was night, and the Hanzhong Plain was snowing heavily.
The robe on Geng Shu's body was prepared for him by Jiang Heng. The inner lining was padded with Jiang Heng's lynx fur. A few pieces of armor, skirts, knee pads, etc. can be added to the coat.
What is Jiang Heng doing in Luoyang? Geng Shu gradually realized that the court originally in the East Palace had already expressed a little bit of jealousy towards Jiang Heng. He was too much like a prince. Maybe they didn't realize it yet, but Jiang Heng had naturally become this country. The owner of the lord is not at all like the identity of other people as guest ministers.
If this goes on, the war within the imperial court will break out sooner or later. After all, no matter how talented Jiang Heng is, he is also a courtier. Jiang Heng is useful to Juicy, and all the ministers will respect him, but once he threatens Juicy's throne, Zeng Rong and others may turn their heads ruthlessly.
Geng Shu didn't want to start killing people in the imperial court. In the past few years, he has killed thousands of people. People died like a lamp, and when he killed them, this person disappeared. One life after another disappears in his life. I just don't know if he will feel lonely occasionally after killing all his opponents.
He knew very well that whenever he killed Jiang Heng, Jiang Heng would show an uncomfortable expression, even if the person had to kill.
He just wanted to see Jiang Heng smile, not to see him sad.
Geng Shu looked at the distance in the snow, two little foxes were chasing, catching up, hugging each other and rolling around, you licked me, I scratched you, this scene made him uncontrollably think of Jiang Heng's warm body, he couldn't help but Fantastic fantasies.
Their real time together was too short, Geng Shu recalled the past, wished he could go back to Luoyang, and told himself that time waits for no one, and every day of their time is extremely precious.
When the troubles of the generation of the country are resolved and he returns to the court, he will start to deal with the court for him. New problems will come, and they seem to have never stopped, just enjoying the time between the two of them alone.
Jiang Heng was able to become a good emperor and took over the golden seal from Ji Xun. This was his destiny. Time entrusted this important task to him, and every subsequent step seemed to be guided by fate. Jiang Heng worked hard to put the five countries back together countless times, like putting together a broken porcelain bottle. During the process, they experienced too many thrilling tests, but they all survived.
"What exactly do you want?"
Geng Shu couldn't help but think of what Jiang Heng had asked him. If he was allowed to choose, he just wanted to go back to the past. Jiang Heng didn't know who he was and the days when they were together. He didn't have high hopes and didn't have many troubles. There is no other purpose in life but one responsibility: to each other.
Each other is the only responsibility of each other, Geng Shu even understood what Jie Gui said, I will take you away, leave here, go anywhere, to the ends of the earth.
Maybe he also thought about the juice back then
Just in the game, who can break free
"His Royal Highness." A commander of ten thousand came.
"I know you don't want to fight anymore," Geng Shu said without looking at him, playing with the black sword a few times, "I don't want to fight either, I'm tired."
In front of Geng Shu's words, Captain Wan was suddenly caught off guard. He was just here to report on the camp, but he did not expect Geng Shu to say such a thing.
He was sensible and unbroken, and he stood with his hands down and listened.
Geng Shu said to himself again: "I assure you, this is the last game, and in the next five years, there will be no major wars in the world, but we must go back alive first."

The commander Wan replied, "Yes, Your Highness, the camp has ended. Dai Guo camped on the plain by the river."
Geng Shu murmured again: "Pinglu is easy to move, and the right back is high, before death and after life, here is the army of Pinglu."
Commander Wan stood quietly, and Geng Shu said again, "Has the imperial court replied?"
"I replied." Captain Wan took the cloth strip on Haidong Qingpao and handed it to Geng Shu, and said, "The imperial court told us to hold on and wait until the meeting is over before making a decision. Zeng Rong, Zhou You, and Jiang Heng all guessed unanimously. , Li Xiao is waiting to see how many countries join the Federation before deciding whether to take action."
Geng Shu faced the snow-covered plain and whistled, Hai Dongqing flew over and stopped on his shoulder.
"I want to be self-willed," Geng Shu suddenly said, "Will you follow me?"
Captain Wan was startled and said, "Your Highness."
Geng Shu glanced at him and said again, "Call your brothers."
All the four captains were here, Geng Shu glanced at them, drew a simple terrain on the snow with a black sword, and said, "The general will be outside, and your life will be affected."
"Over the years, I have always listened to my brother. He told me to fight, and I would fight. He told me to retreat, and I retreated. But today," Geng Shu looked at them and said seriously, "I want to serve I have a battle myself, the only one."
Luoyang, the third and sixth year of Emperor Hui of Jin, the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.
In the palace, according to the customs of Yongdi, we began to prepare the Laba feast. Tomorrow is the winter solstice, which is also the New Year's Eve of the Yong people. The two grand festivals are next to each other for two days, and it is the first year after entering the customs. .
This is also the first New Year of the Yong people after Juicong's death, so the entire nation, or the entire country, all the life force was instantly stimulated, and the various ethnic groups moved the battlefield of the snowball from Luoyan to Luoyang, and the city With savage, thriving chaos. Jiang Heng originally asked Mi Qing to talk today, but Mi Qing didn't expect to see snow early in the morning, so he exclaimed and ran out to see the snow scene.
The Mi family has lived in the south of the Yangtze River for generations. She has never seen snow a few times since she was a child. Sometimes it is only a thin layer. This is the first time that a princess of a country has seen such heavy snow. snowball.
"His Royal Highness." Jiang Heng couldn't tell whether to laugh or cry.
"Tai Shi," Mi Qing said, "are you coming?"
Jiang Heng saw Meng He and the others were making a fuss. He was afraid of colliding with the guests who came to the meeting, so he had to protect Ying Ren, and even the two monarchs Bi Shao and Zhao Cong came out. Crowded.
Bi Shao was with Zhao Cong, and the two were building a snow castle. Jiang Heng suddenly heard someone passing the message. The voice was not loud, but it was the voice of a messenger rushing through the long street.
"Dai Guoting Hou, Li Jin arrived—"
Everyone stood up in an instant and looked in the direction of the sound. Jiang Heng immediately retreated and hurried back to the main hall.
He remembered that Li Jin, the unfortunate city defense captain who was tied up in the cellar by Luo Xuan, had no guesses with Ji Shuang. Two years ago, Jiang Heng thought he would persuade him, but it turned out that the other party was Luo Xuan. Luo Xuan's short-sightedness saved him his life. Now he has become a marquis in Dai Guo and has become Ji Shuang's capable arm.
The war between Yong and Dai was imminent. At this time, Dai Guo also sent their special envoy to represent Dai Wang Li Xiao to participate in this alliance.
As the imperial court was facing a great enemy, he formally received Li Jin. Jiang Heng was covered in snow, shivering outside the hall, and then entering calmly, when he left, Li Jin was talking eloquently, and the faces of Juicy, Zeng Rong and others were extremely ugly.
"...The monarch of our country and His Royal Highness Princess Frost have given a deadline..."
When Jiang Heng came to Li Jin's side, Li Jin suddenly stopped, with a little fear in his eyes.
"Hello General Li." Jiang Heng smiled.
Li Jin's expression was very complicated, because before departure, Ji Shuang specially warned him to beware of Jiang Heng and Nie Hai. Jiang Heng's reputation is too famous. Not to mention his father killed all the political leaders in the world. He and Nie Hai, with their own power, caused violent turmoil in the Xichuan government and the opposition, and even the acting king Li Hong was in their hands.
In addition, King Yong Juicong's conquest of Jeju was conspicuously plotted, and he was also inseparable from Jiang Heng. A literati was actually designed to get rid of two monarchs who were the most powerful in the world. Li Jin was immediately suppressed. One end.
"Jiang Taishi," Li Jin said, "meeting for the first time."
Jiang Heng looked at Juicy with a questioning look, and Juicy said gently, "You came just in time, and Daiguo asked us to withdraw from the Hanzhong Plain before we were willing to join the alliance."
"I know the resolute intention of your country's Chen soldiers to guard the border." Li Jin said, "But, after all, swordsmen have no eyes, and the battlefield is ruthless, so I'm afraid of being hurt. You also know that our country's 30,000-50,000 troops are at the border. The strength disparity is huge, if a conflict is accidentally caused, no one wants to see it."
Jiang Heng laughed. The two armies in Hanzhong were facing each other. The meaning of the two countries was self-evident. Daiguo was threatening Yongguo with the army, and this was Juicong's favorite thing to do. Geng Shu's 40,000 troops can only be called a statement.
"You want more." Jiang Heng walked to the side of the Emperor's case and sat on his right.
This time, it was as if the Yong Kingdom had two monarchs - Juicy Taki and Jiang Heng, each sitting on one side.
Li Jin immediately knew what Ji Shuang meant by reminding him.
Jiang Heng picked up the golden seal and placed it in the center.
Juicy looked at Jiang Heng, understood what he meant, and explained: "Jiang Taishi is the entrusted person of Jinxi, and he can temporarily clarify the meaning for the emperor."
Juicy wanted to hand over the Emperor's case to Jiang Heng, but Jiang Heng said, "King Yong is not busy, please take a seat."
After speaking, Jiang Heng said to Li Jin again, "It's not to guard the border, but to start a war against you."
The court was silent for a moment, Li Jin's expression changed immediately, Jiang Heng said again: "I told the five countries to come to participate in the alliance, why did you not come on behalf of the country? If you don't come, then the Yong Kingdom will be ordered by the Son of Heaven to attack Er. Wait, send a letter and tell Li Xiao that if he regards the golden seal as nothing, he will take away his title and be demoted to a commoner!"
Li Jin was furious and roared, "What qualifications do you have to represent the emperor?"
Jiang Heng picked up the golden seal and raised his eyebrows again: "Go back and ask you Princess Shuang, does she admit it?"
Li Jin was at a loss for words. Not long ago, Ji Shuang admitted that he was the golden seal. Otherwise, why did he come all the way to Anyang to inherit the orthodoxy of the Ji family of the Great Jin Dynasty
Li Jin's heart changed, you have Ji Tianzi's will, we have a princess, and when he was about to speak to Jiang Heng, Jiang Heng said again: "But now that you are here, I will express my sincerity in the country and I am willing to participate. The alliance. Go and take a break, the border discussion between the two countries, I promise you, after the alliance is over, I will definitely give you an answer."
Li Jin, on the contrary, couldn't say anything. In fact, Li Xiao and Ji Shuang sent him out to let him participate in the alliance and get news. They were scattered into three major armies, and Li Xiao dispatched his younger brother Li Nuo, who was good at leading troops, to lead the army. With 350,000 troops in hand, they were not afraid of Geng Shu at all. he.
"Ting Hou, please." Juicy made a timely gesture.
Li Jin had to hold back for a while, and went to stay. The 2,000 soldiers he brought with him, according to Jiang Heng's intention, didn't bother him and let him do his own thing.
"Send someone to monitor him," Jiang Heng instructed Jie Gui again, "see what he does in the city."
Jiang Heng suspects that Li Jin also has a mission here. He wants to win over all countries and work together to fight against Yong. Once he succeeds, he will once again fall into a situation where the national strength and military strength are mutually checked and balanced.
At the end, Zeng Rong said, "Tomorrow's meeting is very important, and it has to be consecutive days. Today there are variables, so let's check it carefully."
Jiang Heng turned around and closed the door, with Jie Gui guarding inside, so Juicy, Lu Ji, Zhou You, Zeng Rong, and Jiang Heng checked the articles of association of the alliance again to make sure nothing went wrong.
"I haven't had time yet, so I've had a good look at Jinxi." Jutaki finally said.
In the middle of the night, all the ministers dispersed. Tomorrow, the people of the Yong Kingdom will face a situation that has become more complicated than they have been in a century. No one knows what will happen in the alliance tomorrow, and even Jiang Heng himself has no way of predicting it.
Jiang Heng and Juicy were left in the hall.
"I didn't read it seriously either." Jiang Heng finally replied.
Juicy wrapped it again with a yellow cloth, handed it to Jiang Heng, and said, "What is engraved on this face?"
"The stars of the heavens." Jiang Heng looked at the exposed corner of the golden seal, which was engraved with a star map. He pointed out the center of the golden seal to Juicy Taki and said, "The Son of Heaven is bestowed by the heavens and protects Shenzhou. He who holds gold. The seal is destiny."
Juicy nodded and asked Jiang Heng to hold the golden seal. Tomorrow the alliance meeting will be held, and he will officially award this seal to the new emperor again, and this candidate should be Juicy.
Jiang Heng nodded towards Juicy Taki and turned to leave. Jie Gui waited outside the hall and escorted him back to his room to rest.
