There were hurried footsteps outside the hall, and Zeng Yu said outside the door, "Your Highness, how is the situation?"
Geng Shu knew that Juicong had gone through the most dangerous moment, and he had gradually regained his composure, and picked up Prince Taki with one hand and let him sit beside the couch.
"Taki, I have to go." Geng Shu said to Prince Taki.
'what? "Prince Taki was shocked and then overjoyed, his eyes kept turning black, and he had not yet heard what Geng Shu said.
Geng Shu clenched Yu Jue's fingers, and just as he was about to say that sentence, there was a knock on the door.
In an instant, Geng Shu realized one thing—no one of Yong people would know that the one who assassinated Juicong was Jiang Heng!
Even in front of Juicong, a secret must be kept.
"Come in." Geng Shu said.
Zeng Yu hurried in and glanced at Juicong on the couch.
"Father's condition has improved." Geng Shu said, at this moment his heart was in a mess. Since Jiang Heng was rescued by his master, he must be fine, where will he go? Will they meet again
The coachman said when he parted, that he was going to Laoshan, so he must try to escape immediately...
Zeng Yu said: "The allied forces of Zheng and Liang joined forces outside the Laoshan Mountain and are heading towards Yubi Pass. We will forcibly attack the pass."
Prince Taki: "..."
All this happened in just a few days, and Prince Taki couldn't think anymore. He looked at Geng Shu like he was asking for help, and Geng Shu became his only hope at the moment.
Geng Shu was awakened in an instant, and he understood that he must not leave everyone behind at this moment.
"You bring your father back to Luoyan," Geng Shuchao said to Prince Taki, "Jie Gui will escort you, and you can meet up with Princess Wuying who is heading south, and she will arrive soon."
Prince Taki regained his senses, got up, and said firmly: "No! Brother! I am with you."
"Let's go!" Geng Shu grabbed Prince Taki suddenly, looked into his eyes, and ordered in a deep voice, "You must go back to Luoyan! We have to have someone to protect the father and king, otherwise what if he does something wrong, what will happen in the country?! "
"Zeng Yu!" Geng Shu said to Zeng Yu again, "Order the entire army to defend the Yubi Pass!"
Zeng Yu bowed and went to mobilize the troops.
The war came suddenly, and on the third night of Jiang Heng's successful assassination, the two kingdoms of Zheng and Liang united again, vowing to recover the bloody debts over the years from Yong. Geng Shu was walking through the city wall, and when he was checking the defense, the cup was suddenly thrown, flew from outside the city, and burst into bloom on the eaves!
There was a commotion inside and outside Yubi Pass at the same time, and Prince Ling obviously didn't want to waste the time to declare war, let alone persuade him to surrender. When Geng Shu rushed to the wall and looked down, the 100,000-strong coalition army had already been deployed in the snow in front of the gate, and dozens of catapults threw fiery oil tanks into the city.
"Hold it up!" Geng Shu only had time to glance at the dense besieging army outside, and the hook rope had already reached the top of the city.
At this time, once Geng Shu escaped from the battle, Yubi would pass tens of thousands of robes, and he would die because of his own selfishness.
Juyong gave him a home, let him survive these four years, and now he finally got a little hope of seeing Jiang Heng again, this is the moment for him to repay them.
Prince Ling rode the chariot, his robes fluttered in the dark night, and shouted from a distance: "Juicy! Surrender! Your king is dead!"
Geng Shu gasped for breath, but his deep eyes looked at the farther Weiguan.
"Heng'er," Geng Shu murmured, "wait for me, brother will definitely come to see you."
For the first time in ten years, Yong Jun encountered such a battle of trapped beasts, and he also realized from this night that the people of the Central Plains are not as easy to bully as imagined. Both Zhengren and Liangren are not warlike, but once there is no retreat, they are less afraid of death than Yongren, and they are more ruthless.
"Fight to the death!" Geng Shu roared angrily.
There was a loud noise outside the gate, the thrower broke and collapsed, and the burst of flames began to burn the enemy, but soon there were people who were not afraid of death. Liangren launched the siege crossbow and shot the iron arrow back.
"Where's the prince?!" Geng Shu shouted, "Have you left?!"
Prince Taki finally took Juicong into the car under the protection of the Imperial Forest Army, and glanced back at the height of the wall.
"elder brother!"
Geng Shu turned back and looked at Prince Taki, as if he heard the panicked voice five years ago.
"Brother, don't come, go, hurry up..."
But he turned his head and looked at the soldiers who were like ants who could not be killed or expelled. He knew that in the dark distance, Jiang Heng was still alive.
"Don't come!" Geng Shu turned his head and shouted at Prince Taki, "Let's go! Take your father and king!"
Prince Taki rushed to Geng Shu, holding an object in his hand, it was Yujue.
He put Yujue on Geng Shu's neck.
"Let's go," Geng Shu said, pushing Prince Taki away, "don't wait for me. Jie Gui, take him away!"
Jie Gui pushed Prince Taki onto the horse, and Prince Taki was distraught. The jade bi in the first pass of the millennium has started to catch fire, and it is burning fiercely.
The enemy had pushed against the pillars and began to slam the door shut.
At the first click, the gate of Yubi Pass made a loud noise that shook the world, and even the earth and the mountains also shook.
It hit the city pillar and then retreated abruptly. Thousands of people dragged the ropes. The giant pillar rushed like a meteor, and the second fell.
The entire wall also shook. Geng Shu was dressed in a black martial robe, without a piece of armor, the robe fluttered in the cold wind, and he looked at the bright moon in the sky.
xiaoshuting.la
"Farewell." Geng Shu knew that no matter the outcome of this battle, life or death, they might never meet again.
Before seeing Jiang Heng again, he must complete his responsibilities.
All of this is predestined.
Soldiers rushed from all directions and gathered around Geng Shu.
Then, the closed door was rushed open, and Geng Shu had no time to care, and led the soldiers into the vast sea trampled by iron hoofs. But this ray of light that flashed through the night sky was just a bright color in the flames of war.
Like a moth to a fire, soft, silent, and silent.
With the last loud noise that spanned the years, the giant gate of Yubi Pass collapsed with a bang, and the snow swirled, overwhelming the sky.
Three days later.
Jiang Heng finally recovered, and when he woke up, he heard the noise and cheers outside the window.
He struggled to get up, and the first person he saw was still Zhao Qi.
Zhao Qi was sitting in front of the case in a trance. Seeing that Jiang Heng was awake, he hurriedly stood up.
Jiang Heng said, "I'm still a little dizzy."
"I took two of that medicine for you," Zhao Qi said. "Look, there is one left. I thought it would not be good, so I will give you three more."
Jiang Heng nodded gratefully. Zhao Qi didn't know that this was a very precious medicine. In order to save him, he wasted one, but he couldn't blame him.
"We met again," Jiang Heng said with a smile, "Zhao Qi, it's a pleasure to meet you."
His smile was very warm, but Zhao Qi was a little embarrassed, so don't look away.
"Young Master has made a great contribution," Zhao Qi said. "From now on, you will be the official of the Zheng Kingdom."
Jiang Heng sighed softly, smiled sadly, and said, "I thought I was going to die, but I didn't expect that God would not let me go, just make do with it."
The cheers outside the window were even louder. Jiang Heng turned his head to look and asked, "What happened?"
Zhao Qi replied: "His Royal Highness captured the Yubi Pass, captured the enemy guard alive, and brought him back. Do you want to take a look?"
Yubi Pass is broken! Jiang Heng just thought it was unbelievable. This ancient gate, which has not changed hands for 120 years since Juicyong sat on the palm of the geese, was breached in one night? !
Jiang Heng got up in a hurry, Zhao Qi quickly followed behind him, Jiang Heng said, "It doesn't matter, I'm much better."
"After Your Highness wakes you up, take a shower first, and then go to see him slowly after eating," Zhao Qi said from the side, "He has a lot to say to you."
Jiang Heng then took a bath under Zhao Qi's service and changed his clothes. Prince Ling prepared a new fur coat and martial robe for him, and gave him a jade hairpin.
After eating, Jiang Heng walked up to the wall of Laoshan Pass and looked into the huge patio in the pass.
The soldiers used ropes to hoist a man from the patio. He was wearing a tattered black military uniform. He was almost naked, bloodstained, bare feet, his hands were separated, and he was hung in the air.
A general swung out a leather whip dipped in salt water, and slapped him fiercely, nearly a hundred paces away, Jiang Heng still heard the sound of the leather whip breaking through the air, and his heart tightened.
The prisoner's hair was loose, covering his face. From such a distance, Jiang Heng couldn't see his appearance, but judging from his bare, fair body, this man was very young.
"Is he Juiciao?" Jiang Heng asked Zhao Qi.
Zhao Qi couldn't answer, and urged Jiang Heng to go to the hall.
Prince Ling was talking to his advisors in a low voice, and some of the leading prince's guests from Jeju came to discuss matters with him, discussing how to further pursue Yong Jun.
"Is it better?" Prince Ling's eyes lit up when he saw Jiang Heng.
Jiang Heng nodded and said, "Much better."
The advisors did not dare to despise Jiang Heng this time.
Prince Ling asked again, "Can the eyes see?"
"It's the same as before." Jiang Heng replied, "Mr. Gongsun is really amazing."
"This dress is very beautiful." Prince Ling said kindly, "Come here and let me see you."
Jiang Heng was wearing a dark blue martial robe, wrapped in a fox fur, his eyebrows were bright and radiant, and his eyes had recovered, as if he had never used medicine.
"This is General Long's clothes," said Prince Ling. "Three years ago, I made this one for him, but I didn't give it to him. I just changed it and put it on for you."
"The Yubi Pass has been won," Jiang Heng said lightly, "Congratulations, Your Highness."
Prince Ling nodded and said, "I didn't expect that it would come so smoothly. It can be seen that sometimes, the turning point often happens in an instant."
Jiang Heng thought for a while, and when he was about to speak, Prince Ling said again: "If Ju Cong dies, Luo Yan will definitely become a battlefield for the forces outside the Great Wall to seize power. When Prince Taki returns to the capital, life will not be easy, and Ju Miao has been captured by us again. , really help me. If it is not bad, within ten years, Yong Kingdom's rule in the north will definitely collapse."
Jiang Heng said: "But we must act cautiously."
Prince Ling nodded: "Yes, Yongren has this defeat, Zhengyuan is arrogant, we must not make the mistakes they made."
Jiang Heng said, "Is that person outside Juiciao?"
Prince Ling nodded and said, "Besides, I also discovered another identity of him, guess who he is?"
When Jiang Heng heard this, his eyebrows moved slightly, and he looked at Prince Ling in confusion.
While speaking, Prince Ling took out a piece of yellow cloth from the case, put it in front of Jiang Heng, and untied the yellow cloth.
So Jiang Heng saw the jade pendant that Geng Shu brought to him ten years ago and left him by his father.
"He's Geng Yuan's son..." Prince Ling's voice sounded near Jiang Heng's ears.
Jiang Heng's vision suddenly became blurred.
"... But I can't figure it out. Juicong has already found him. Why was he willing to talk to you in detail that night? Could it be that he suspects that Juicong is a fake?"
"In short, for many years, I have been looking for this person, the son of the enemy's family, and finally got caught, and he deserved it... In the dark, my father is still protecting me in the sky... Luo Heng, Luo Heng? Luo Heng!"
"His Royal Highness," Jiang Heng said calmly, holding down his trembling hand, "remember the request I made to you before departure?"
"What?" Prince Ling recovered from the past and smiled kindly.
Jiang Heng stretched out his hand and picked up the jade pendant. It seemed that his entire life had been poured into it. For many nights, he had leaned on Geng Shu's arms and fell asleep touching the jade pendant.
On that, there is the power left by their father. This power is like the Prince Ling said. It is the strong belief of the deceased. Even if he and the enemy have already passed away, they are still in the dark, fighting each other.
This battle has been fought from life to death, from the past to the present, for I don't know how many years, from the temple to the rivers and lakes, from the rivers and lakes to the battlefield, from the living to the dead, from the world to the sky. , until now, it has not ended.
"Do you want it?" Prince Ling said generously, "You have successfully performed such a good show for me, acting as the son of Geng Yuan, and it is also a fate. It's a gift for you."
Jiang Heng raised his eyes and looked at the prince.
The prince joked: "Don't you want me to save Juiciao's life?"
Jiang Heng also laughed: "If I ask His Highness for his life, will His Highness give it or not?"
Prince Ling became puzzled and replied, "Why? This is the only thing that can't be done. I have sent a letter to inform the world, and let King Dai Wu, King Ying, and King Liang come to Laoshan. At that time, I will be in front of everyone. The face of a man, the car cracks him, and then the body is exposed in Yubi Pass for seven days and seven nights, it is also an explanation. I think you may have a good plan, and you want to persuade me that it is more worthwhile to leave his life, right? But needless to say , this person will die. No matter how much profit, I don't want to exchange it for my father-killing enemy."
Jiang Heng nodded and said with a smile: "Just kidding, there is no good strategy, Geng Yuan's child, this is the end."
Prince Ling said: "Ju Cong died in your hands, and Ju Miao died in my hands. This great revenge will finally be avenged. After the nations observe the punishment, you will follow me back to Jeju. Xue, I shouldn't have been an assassin, I'm the one who offended me, I'll have to rely on you in the future, Mr. Luo."
"Don't dare." Jiang Heng stood up and said, bowing to each other with Prince Ling.
At dusk, Jiang Heng stood at the height of the tower and saw several soldiers picking up stones and throwing at Geng Shu, who was tied up. Geng Shu stretched his arms and was hung in the air, like a bird with broken wings, unable to move.
He didn't dodge, as if he was dead, letting the stone fall on his head and body.
Jiang Heng turned around, walked down the tower, and fell on the stone ladder.
"Mr. Luo! Be careful!" Zhao Qi was startled and quickly came up to support him.
Jiang Heng's face was pale, his lips were trembling, and he instructed Zhao Qi: "Zhao Qi, distract me from the guards here, don't let anyone come over, I have something to ask him."
Zhao nodded and said, "Let me go and have a drink with them, sir?"
"I'm fine." Jiang Heng could no longer hear all the voices in the world. There was darkness and light in front of him, and there was only the lonely person in the distance.
