In the thirty-sixth year of Emperor Hui of Jin, Juicy Taki succeeded the emperor, and the four kingdoms came to the dynasty, restructured the system, and unified coins.
Luoyang overthrew the Four Kingdoms Boundary Monument, put an end to the battle between swordsmen and soldiers, the feudal lords regained their feudal title, and changed the name of the world to the first year of Yongtaiwu. Officials from the four countries gathered in Luoyang, and in the second year of Taiwu, a new law was promulgated.
In the fourth year of Taiwu, the emperor married Zhao Hui, the princess of Zheng State.
In the sixth year of Taiwu, the emperor Juitai sent Zeng Yu, Jue Ling, and General Long Yu to lead an army of 100,000 to attack the country of Ying in the south.
Jiang Heng heard the discussion among the neighbors, and he was about to fight again, perhaps this would be the last battle in nearly a hundred years.
But at least Anyang people live better than before. Liang Wang Bi Shao still lives in the palace. After six years, the whole Anyang has gradually recovered. The market is prosperous and full of fireworks.
Jiang Heng and Geng Shu did not want to be known, and temporarily lived at the foot of the mountain behind Anyang City. Every day, Jiang Heng would go to the market to buy something. By the way, the children read and read, read poems, and exchange some money to buy rice and go home.
Geng Shu occasionally went to work as a carpenter for others, and he was bored every day, so he wanted to do a different job.
Jiang Heng went home after buying meat and fresh fish that day. When Geng Shu came home to cook, he was thinking about Ying Kingdom when he suddenly heard a sound from behind the house.
Jiang Heng put down his things, and there were very slight footsteps.
Jiang Heng thought for a while, took an ordinary iron sword placed in the corner, held it in his hand, and turned around the back of the house.
He saw a tall and thin masked man.
"I've been waiting for you for many years," Jiang Heng said, "I'm running out of patience."
"Those who are stabbed are impatient, but those who are stabbed are very patient. A real assassin will wait patiently for the opportunity." The masked man said, "Has your father ever stabbed you?"
"Teach me by words and deeds." Jiang Heng took a deep breath and replied.
The masked man slowly lifted the face towel, revealing the tattoos on his face. It was exactly what Jiang Heng and Geng Shu had seen in the cubicle many years ago when they hid in the Jiangzhou fang, the first of the thirteen "Blood Moon" Two - "Assassins".
"Is your sect master okay?" Jiang Heng suddenly became curious, "Don't worry, I'm just asking, you know that my brother will come back soon if you don't have this time, and it won't affect your life or death."
"Thanks to you," the Assassin said, "already dead."
Jiang Heng didn't ask how he died, it didn't matter anymore.
"If I were you," Jiang Heng said, "I wouldn't stay in the Central Plains. After all, with martial arts, there is always something more worth doing."
The assassin replied: "I also thought about it, so I went back to Luntai and taught me what I have learned from myself. It is called the Yulin Sword School. Although it is inconspicuous now, it will slowly grow up. I think my business is over. In the future, you should always remember to come back to kill you, although the person who entrusted him is dead, it is still a job after all, and the employer pays it, so we should do things, don’t you think?”
Jiang Heng smiled and said, "You talk a lot, Juicong gave you the reward? I don't think so? Heijian should still be in Luoyang."
"After killing you," said the assassin, "I'll get it myself, don't worry. Are you ready?"
Jiang Heng didn't speak any more, and slowly raised his sword to observe the assassin's actions. It was six years ago that the blood moon disappeared for the first time, and Geng Shu suspected that they still had not given up on this idea, and it would come sooner or later.
They took the initiative to find the whereabouts of the assassin many times, but they always found nothing, like a thorn in their hearts.
The real assassin will wait a long, long time until everyone forgets about it.
For example, Geng Yuan, in order to kill someone, can wait up to seven years. For some reason, Jiang Heng remembered the words of his mother - whoever kills with a sword should end up dying by the sword.
This is the fate of those who have enemies all over the world, and they will never be able to escape.
Losing a loved one might also be Geng Shu's destiny.
"Take care of my body later," Jiang Heng said in a low voice, "I don't want him to be too sad, just treat me as missing."
"He will find out sooner or later," the assassin raised his eyebrows. "Since he is the son of the assassin, he should look at life and death and struggle, so why bother?"
"That's right." Jiang Heng said coldly, wielding his sword and slamming the assassin's throat!
Guessing that the assassin was also a swinging sword, but he used Jiang Heng's former saber: Circling Finger Soft!
Jiang Heng hadn't figured it out clearly yet, why Luan Zhirou came into this person's hands and was caught off guard, the sword was broken. That assassin's martial arts skills were much higher than his, and he was the second person under the blood moon back then. Jiang Heng's throat!
Jiang Heng turned around to avoid him, only half an inch was about to cut his throat, and immediately flew towards the woods behind the house!
The assassin performed light work, caught up in a few steps, and stabbed Jiang Heng's back with another sword, Jiang Heng rolled and escaped.
The fallen leaves in the maple forest are like blood, and the blade has been shaken straight, coming to the front.
All of a sudden, there was only a light "pop" sound.
Geng Shu bare his upper body, with his martial robe on his waist, and played around with a wooden stick for a few laps. When he came outside the house, he saw blood all over the floor.
He followed the blood trail and walked a few steps, only to see a black bear sitting on the ground, nibbling on a broken foot, and another black bear not far away, eating a pot of steamed buns that Jiang Heng placed in front of it.
Jiang Heng stood aside, clasped his hands softly around his fingers, looked up at Geng Shu, and let out a long sigh.
"The Age of Rebirth"
Geng Shu didn't speak for a long time, and finally said, "He's here?"
Jiang Heng nodded, and Geng Shu said again, "Why is there only one foot left? Was it eaten up?"
"No." Jiang Heng said, "I led him into the trap and caught his foot. He yelled, but he didn't expect to attract these two guys. I ended up being hurt by two bears."
"Afterwards, he may have felt that he had no chance of winning. In order to escape, he cut off his feet, rolled down the cliff, fell into the water, and was washed away."
Geng Shu: "..."
Jiang Heng said, "When I said I raised those two bear brothers, you were not happy."
"I was wrong." Geng Shu admitted his mistake.
The two bears rescued outside the Great Wall seven years ago were thrown by Meng He onto the back mountain of Anyang, where they fished for food and enjoyed themselves. After Jiang Heng moved in, he inadvertently ran into an old friend in the back mountain of Anyang. However, bears are bears. As long as they are full, they will usually not hurt people. As long as they are fed every few days, they will not be madly hungry. Besides, Geng Shu is bare-handed and often competes with bears. Practice martial arts.
So the two bears recognized Jiang Heng and Geng Shu, and came to them every now and then to beg for food. Geng Shu wanted to kill him to avoid trouble, but because of Jiang Heng's misunderstanding, he saved his life. But the two bears ate too much, and Geng Shu couldn't bear it for Jiang Heng's point, so he had already given a lot of food and barely kept them in the maple forest.
Because of this, Geng Shu made a lot of traps and other traps outside the house and near Fenglin to prevent assassins; secondly, to prevent the two bears from running down the mountain and harassing innocent people; thirdly, when he was not at home , don't attack Jiang Heng.
Fortunately, the bears are very disciplined. Maybe they were raised by Fengrong people when they were young. They are not wild, and they have never thought of cannibalism. Wherever they were released, they just stayed nearby.
"That's what I said," Geng Shu reminded. "It's not for playing when it was photographed with a paw. I'd better inform Bi Shao and get rid of it quickly."
Jiang Heng said to the two bears, "Thank you, I really appreciate the life-saving grace."
Geng Shu went to buy another 50 catties of meat, put it in a basin, and rewarded the two saviors. Cooking dinner at night, pouring two taels of small wine back home, chatting with Jiang Heng, eating vegetables and drinking, life is very pleasant.
This is the life he wants, life is simple. After nightfall, Geng Shu put his hand on the couch, approached Jiang Heng's cheek, and said in a low voice, "Anything on your mind?"
"I'm thinking about Jiangzhou," Jiang Heng said, frowning all day, "They are going to Jiangzhou."
"You are still worrying about Juicy," Geng Shu said, "His Royal Highness Prince Wen."
Jiang Heng laughed and said, "I worry about the people of Jiangzhou."
Geng Shu said, "Want to take a look?"
"Ah?" Jiang Heng regained his senses and touched Geng Shu's face. His skin was still hot, and he carried a familiar smell. Since they left Luoyang, Geng Shu has been living in seclusion with him in the city, no matter where they are, As long as the two are together, they are Taoyuan.
"Can you?" Jiang Heng said.
"It depends on what you're willing to give," Geng Shu lowered his head, looked at Jiang Heng's collarbone intently, then looked at his lips and eyes, and said, "I'll take you there if you obey."
Jiang Heng smiled, but his breathing became rapid. He stared at Geng Shu in a daze, and began to welcome his kiss, entwining each other's lips and tongues.
The next day, Geng Shu locked the door, arranged food for the two bears, and sent a letter to Bi Shao in the palace. .
But the assassin would never come again, so Geng Shu took Jiang Heng with his fingers softly, just like they used to be outside the fortress, pretending to be intimate with their lovers, and rushing down the official road. , cross the Yellow River and head to the city of Jiangzhou in Yingdu.
In the autumn of the sixth year of Taiwu, Emperor Yong cut Ying.
Along the way, there are people who are migrating nervously, as if returning to the time of the great conflict ten years ago, when wars were frequent and thousands of people were displaced.
Although Jiangzhou is still prosperous, it has a faint air of depression. The war is approaching, and the Suzaku Palace is still singing and singing every night. Jiang Heng has lived in Anyang for six years, and now that his last major worries have been eliminated, he has returned to Yingdi and really likes the excitement.
Jiang Heng was not very happy when Geng Shu found Kui Ming, the leader of the Taoyuan Opera Troupe, to see his old friend again.
"Luoyang announces to the world that you are the crown prince Wen," Kui Ming said, "Do you know? Where have you been staying these days? The two brothers got married?"
"Stay at home, don't have a family, and live with Henger." Geng Shu had a little beard on his lips, always trying to make himself look more manly, but Jiang Heng always thought it was annoying, so he let him shave, After scraping Geng Shu, he stayed, and was scraped by Jiang Heng again.
Now Geng Shu has the appearance of an adult man, as if he has married and established a business, and is much more stable. When he goes out, Jiang Hengrang's beard is still shaved, and it only grows a little along the way.
Kui Ming smiled understandingly, and Jiang Heng asked, "Where's Zheng Zhen?"
"Dead," Kui Ming said. "He left six years ago, and when he heard the news of General Xiang's death, he threw himself into the river."
Jiang Heng was silent, everyone was silent for a moment, Jiang Heng sighed.
