Before nightfall, Jiang Heng went out for a few laps, and then returned to the room. Suddenly, he saw a guard standing in the room, talking to Zhao Qi. Zhao Qi has consciously assumed the responsibility of managing affairs for Jiang Heng. When the two saw Jiang Heng coming back, they bowed together again.

Beside the guard, there was also a girl with a calm face, and brought food boxes and wine, which were put aside.
"Just stay." Zhao Qi said to the guard, and sent him away again.
Jiang Heng glanced at the girl strangely, nodded, and Zhao Qi explained, "She is Liu Hua, and she is the Qin Ji given to the son by His Highness."
"It's been a long time since I listened to the piano," Jiang Heng said with a smile, "I also ask the girl to give me a piece of the sound of nature."
Liu Hua smiled, sat down and started to play the piano, while Zhao Qi poured wine for Jiang Heng. Jiang Heng was only amused, is this the prison meal for the death row inmates? Playing the piano and giving food, the treatment is not the same as this month.
Just listening to Liu Hua's opening is "Zheng Feng", singing: "Qing Qing Zi Jin, leisurely my heart..."
When Jiang Heng heard this song, he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.
"Even if I don't go, Zining won't come?" Jiang Heng sang, "If you don't see me for a day, it's like March..."
Over the years, Geng Shu has never once had a dream in the middle of the night. He often dreamed back at midnight, facing the thousands of stars and the Milky Way at the end of Cangshan. Jiang Heng also lightly walked out of the room with Luo Xuan. Bedroom, in a trance under the Milky Way.
"I haven't seen you for one day, like March." Jiang Heng murmured, "It's more than five years. More than a thousand days, what more than March?"
Zhao Qi listened silently, while Jiang Heng sighed softly, suddenly feeling quite boring. Geng Shu has gone forever. The only belief that once supported him was to rule the world and end this world of great contention.
But on this night more than a month after going down the mountain, all beliefs suddenly disintegrated for some reason. As if autumn came suddenly, all the dense trees lost their leaves after a night of wind and rain. Even being alive itself has little interest in Jiang Heng. In other words, even if the assassination fails and you die, so what
Maybe this is a relief, and he can meet Geng Shu in the sky logically.
"There is a sadness in your piano sound." Jiang Hengchao smiled and said.
"Young master, have you heard this?" Liu Hua said.
Jiang Heng did not take the liberty to ask the story behind this sadness, but simply nodded and said, "Thank you girl for playing the piano for me tonight."
He could no longer drink, so Zhao Qi consciously packed the food box. Liu Hua put down the qin and followed Jiang Heng to the back of the screen, actually to help him undress and sleep for him.
Jiang Heng was startled with a hint of alcohol on his face, and said quickly, "Don't, don't! Girl... I'll do it myself. You... Go back and rest, it's getting late."
Zhao Qi paused and listened from outside the screen.
Liuhua stopped moving, her eyes were puzzled, she wanted to take off his underwear for Jiang Heng, and when he touched his tender skin, Jiang Heng quickly covered his clothes and said firmly, "Girl, you really don't have to..."
Zhao Qi said: "Master, Liu Hua is His Highness's favorite concubine, and His Highness has given her to you. From now on, she will be yours."
"No way!" Although Jiang Heng talked about the strategy of the world, he acted like a young and old man, but when he got this, he exposed the essence of little things, he quickly put on his clothes, turned out from behind the screen, and said, "How does this work? You go back."
Liu Hua seemed to understand something. Looking at Zhao Qi, the two looked at each other, not knowing how to convince Jiang Heng.
Liu Hua smiled sadly: "Your Highness asked me to serve the son, if the son doesn't need me, I will…"
Jiang Heng had not experienced this major event in his life, and Luo Xuan had never mentioned the days when he was with Luo Xuan, but he could roughly guess it, but he was far from ready now.
"If you don't want to go back to His Highness," Jiang Heng said, "just stay here, but you really don't need it. You and I are destined to meet each other. It's okay to make friends. How can you be so contemptuous of you?"
Liu Hua's eyes gleamed, and at the end, she nodded and went to lie down in the back of the hall.
Jiang Heng was relieved at this time, and the princeling only sent the guards, but also a concubine. Although it was touching to see himself in this way, Jiang Heng still could not accept the act of sending people as objects.
"Young master is not good at women?" Zhao Qi got up, replaced Liu Hua, and went inside to serve Jiang Heng and said.
Jiang Hengzheng breathed a sigh of relief, and when he heard this, he was immediately amused.
"What's this called?" Jiang Heng said, "Does a good woman have to do such a pig-and-dog thing?"
Zhao Qi said: "Food and color are the nature of human beings."
Jiang Heng said with a smile: "You also read."
Zhao Qi put away Jiang Heng's robe and respectfully said: "If the son is good to him, the subordinates are also willing to take care of Liuhua."
Jiang Heng: "!!!"
Jiang Heng said: "Forgive me, I really don't have the intention."
"You can do anything," Zhao Qi said with a serious expression, "Just give your order."
Jiang Heng's face was flushed, and he was already drunk. He waved his hands embarrassedly, lay down on the couch, and heard Liu Hua's laughter coming from the back of the palace, as if he was chatting with Zhao Qi in a low voice. At three o'clock, the room was quiet, but Jiang Heng was still a little hot, tossing and turning for nearly half an hour before Fang fell asleep in a daze.
Since then, for several days, Jiang Heng has been in the same room with the concubine Liuhua and Zhao Qi, always treating each other with courtesy, and nothing has happened. Three days later, Jiang Heng finished the meeting with his advisors, and when he returned, Zhao Qi told him that Liu Hua was finally called back.
"Is she going to be okay?" Jiang Heng asked worriedly.
Zhao Qi served Jiang Heng to wash before going to bed, and replied, "It doesn't matter, where did she come from and where did she go back to. Your Highness won't punish her for this."
Jiang Heng was relieved and nodded.
This night was the night of the full moon, and in Jeju, the capital of Zheng, news of Yong Jun came, as expected by Jiang Heng. The Yong army had absolutely no interest in the Liaoshan pass. The vanguard led by Juiciao broke into the capital Luoyang within ten days, and had no nostalgia for it, leaving less than 2,000 garrison troops, so they set off again and went straight. Song County in the lower reaches of Puluo River.
In the whole of Jeju, only Jiang Heng and Sun Ying made such an amazing prediction. The advisors were silent. Prince Ling couldn't come during the daytime today. All the previous deductions were in vain, and they had to look at Jiang Heng jealously.
After Jiang Heng exchanged a few words, he stayed alone in the courtyard, looking up at the bright moon in the night sky of Zheng Guo.
Under the same bright moon, in the ruins of Luoyang, the capital of the capital, four hundred miles away, Geng Shu, dressed in black armor, walked all the way through the ruins of five years ago.
Five years later, the capital city, which was burnt down by the fire of the emperor Ji Xun, has gradually gained some popularity. After the Liang Kingdom suffered a flood, the homeless people fled north and came one after another. Luoyang.
They gathered near the outer city and lived in dilapidated houses in the west of the city that survived the disaster. They lived hard in the ruins. At this time, it was a blessing in misfortune to have a tile to cover their heads. After all, winter is coming.
After Yong Jun entered the capital again, Geng Shu did not let the army harass the refugees, but distributed part of the army rations to help these poor homeless people. Next, I went to Lingshan Canyon to pay homage to Paoze, who died in an avalanche during the battle in the Royal Capital five years ago.
"I remember that Zhao Jie set up this plan," Zeng Yu's voice said behind Geng Shu, "In an avalanche, nearly 100,000 people were buried, and people from Liang, Zheng, and Yong all died from him. under the arrangement.”
Geng Shu sacrificed wine and replied: "The two countries fight, either you die or I die. Now that he has set himself on fire and died, you can't avenge this revenge."
Zeng Yu was in charge of handing over the defense of the capital of Luoyang, and together with Geng Shu, he sacrificed to the death of the battle and walked slowly along the Lingshan Canyon. Five years ago, 100,000 people were buried here, and they supported thousands of crows. When they flew up, they covered the sky, and when they landed, they gnawed like ant colonies, turning countless corpses in the wilderness into white bones.
Over time, the bones rot and sink into the earth, nourishing all things again, and radiating new life.
Now these crows are staring at the canyon under the moonlight, waiting for the arrival of another gluttonous feast.
Zeng Yu said: "It is rumored that on the last day, Zhao Jie burned himself and Ji Xun to death."
"Yeah." Geng Shu said, "Civil officials closed the ancestral temple and burned themselves to death inside. The copper water poured out and burnt many people to death."
Today, in front of the ancestral temple, there are still statues of soldiers who were buried in the sea of copper water in the past. No one dares to set foot in the inner city. Because of this, I heard that there were bursts of crying in front of the ancestral temple in the middle of the night, which is creepy. .
Zeng Yu sighed and said, "Everyone said that the Ji family are lunatics, but now it seems that it is true. People who are not afraid of death are the most difficult to deal with, and if they lose their lives, they have to... "
"Two." Geng Shu said indifferently, "Zhao Jie and Ji Xun decided to live and die together as early as when the army entered the city."
Zeng Yu didn't seem to realize that this grand funeral, the source of everything, originated from the battle of the five armies to destroy the emperor's kingship. And everyone in Yongdu, including Juicong, didn't know that the one who buried the 100,000 army back then happened to be Geng Shu.
"When will His Highness go out?" Zeng Yu could see that Geng Shu wanted to stay by himself.
"Let's go at dawn tomorrow." Geng Shu replied.
Zeng Yu stopped bothering, bowed and left, and the rest of Geng Shu was fascinated by the grass and trees in the canyon, as if to distinguish which tree grew the soil and nourished the nutrients that he used to be Jiang Heng.
"Brother - let's go! Let's go!"
Five years later, the voice is still in my ears, and the sight is still in front of my eyes.
"Heng'er, brother should have died with you long ago." Geng Shu stood in front of the cliff where the avalanche once fell, and muttered, "I deceive myself, what's the point of living for so many years? Why does God treat me like this? Cruel, even if you die, you won't let me die with you, so that our bodies are not in one place?"
He took a step closer to the cliff, the bright moon shone brightly, thousands of miles of silver light, his figure turned into a small silhouette on the high cliff, and he was about to turn into a bird that was thrown into the forest at any time, falling into the deep valley.
But at this moment, in the direction of the distant capital, there was a hoarse bell.
The soldiers of the Yong Army found the bell that was pushed down the cliff by Geng Shu five years ago, and someone rang it like a joke.
The sound of the bell brought Geng Shu back to his senses, turned around, and walked down the high cliff.
It was night, Jiang Heng leaned in front of the hall, looking at the moonlight.
"What is your son thinking?" Zhao Qi suddenly asked.
"I miss my relatives, miss my brother." Jiang Heng murmured, "Who do you think of?"
Zhao Qi replied, "I have no relatives."
Jiang Heng said: "Or friends, Paoze, or even strangers who met by chance and had to be separated in the end."
Zhao Qi didn't answer.
Jiang Heng whispered: "I used to have my mother, Wei Wei, and my brother. Now that I want to come, it's like a dream."
Finally, Jiang Heng got up and returned to change clothes behind the screen.
Earlier today, he learned the news that Juiciao left the capital and was about to go to Song County. Everything was as he expected, while Che Yu led an army to prepare for a surprise attack on Luoyang, cutting Juiciao's back path. And once Luoyang is won, Prince Ling will propose negotiations to Juicong who rushed to Yubi Pass.
At that time, it will be the day when he starts to assassinate Juicong. It won't take too long to think about it. The slowest will be half a month later. After the incident is over, regardless of success or failure, the chance of surviving is very small, but Jiang Heng feels instead, You may be free from this.
"Your Highness." Zhao Qi suddenly said outside the screen.
Jiang Heng immediately turned his head and was about to put on his robe, but Prince Ling turned behind the screen.
Jiang Heng was wearing a shirt and hurriedly bowed: "Why is Your Highness here at this time?"
Crown Prince Ling was wearing a black robe that night, with a stud buttoned up to the neck, with a slender body and a straight waist, with a smile in his eyes, and said, "You rejected my concubine Liuhua, thinking about it, who to send it to, I don’t think it’s appropriate, I can’t say it, I came here in person.”
