Jiang Heng was naked, Jie Gui glanced at him, and reached out to touch his lower back.
"What's going on here?" Jie Gui asked.
"It was hot when I was young," Jiang Heng said.
"Why is it hot?" Jie Gui asked again.
Jiang Heng gave a general description, and Jie Gui sighed, let him lie down on the couch, and threw him a wool blanket that was at the innermost part of the package. The blanket was barely dry.
Then, under Jiang Heng's gaze, Jie Gui also took off a | silk | no | hanging. He had more injuries on his body than on his face. From his left chest to his ribs, there were red burn marks. It has been some years, and there are dozens of stab wounds on his thighs, and there are arrow wounds on the back.
But otherwise, he was lanky, muscular, and very handsome. Apart from those thrilling injuries, Jie Gui's physique can only be described as handsome, like a majestic stallion with almost perfect muscle lines.
"Why did you get so many injuries?" Jiang Heng couldn't help asking.
Jie Gui wiped his body, hung up his clothes, turned calmly, and walked towards the couch.
"Protect your father's fall." Jie Gui replied lightly.
Jiang Heng said unexpectedly, "Isn't my father very good at martial arts?"
Jie Gui regained his senses immediately and replied, "Wrong, I took you as a succulent."
"Juicong's kung fu is not weak, right?" Jiang Heng said.
Jie Gui changed his tune again: "Most of the time, it's because of the juice."
"Oh?" Jiang Heng looked at Jie Gui suspiciously.
"Sleep in, my heart." Jie Guina meant, obviously wanting to sleep with Jiang Heng, and Jiang Heng was used to it along the way. Jie Gui had to guard him, sleeping in a tent next to him every night.
Jiang Heng: "…"
Jie Gui slept very quietly. Jiang Heng never cared, so he moved inside and let Jie Gui lie down. The two of them were covered with a blanket. The rain was clattering outside, and the room was getting warmer.
Jiang Heng suddenly wanted to make fun of Jie Gui and embarrass him.
"Guardian with a sword in front of the royal guard, Lord Jie." Jiang Heng said.
"Huh?" Jie Gui was thinking. In fact, he was always thinking about things along the way, and said, "Master Jiang, Tai Shi Guan, what are your orders?"
Jie Gui turned his head and looked at Jiang Heng seriously.
"Do you like my aunt?" Jiang Heng said with a narrow smile, "I will definitely keep this secret for you, let's talk about it?"
"No," Jie Gui said, "I don't like women, Lord Jiang."
Jiang Heng: "…"
Jie Gui said: "To be honest, I'm from Yue, don't you know? Yueren has always been masculine and likes handsome young men. Lord Jiang, all people outside the Great Wall are handsome, but Di Young people are not the most beautiful, the more people we are, the more beautiful we are in the world."
Jiang Heng: "..."
Saying that, Jie Gui lifted the blanket and let Jiang Heng look at it generously.
Jiang Heng's face flushed immediately, and he lay down, pretending that he didn't see anything, and this time he almost shot himself in the foot.
"Okay," Jiang Heng said, "I'm going to sleep."
Jie Gui said interestingly: "Have you been through personnel?"
Jiang Heng: "Shut up!"
Jie Gui said in a low voice, dangerously, "I will teach you? I have to learn it one day."
Jiang Heng: "!!!"
"Hey!" Jiang Hengyi pointed at Jie Gui's chest, not letting him get close, and motioning him to look aside.
"Watch out for the eyeballs." Jiang Heng reminded.
Hai Dongqing was shriveling his head under his wings and roasting the fire, suddenly raised his head, his feathers fluttered, exuding an attacking aura, staring at Jie Gui threateningly.
Jie Gui laughed, let go of Jiang Heng, and said, "I can't provoke your brother. People are not around you, but birds are not away from you. It's just to play with you. If you're sleepy, just sleep."
Hai Dongqing then retracted his head under his wings.
The sound of the rain is getting quieter, but it doesn't seem to end.
There was only the beeping sound of the fire in the room.
"Heng'er." Jie Gui said suddenly in the silence.
"Ah?" Jiang Heng turned his head and looked at Jie Gui.
"Can I call you Heng'er when no one is there?" Jie Gui looked at Jiang Heng and said.
"Okay." Jiang Heng laughed, he always felt that there was some kind of special connection between him and Jie Gui. When he called "Heng'er" just now, Jiang Heng didn't feel abrupt at all, as if it should be so.
"When someone is there, you can just call," Jiang Heng said. "What's the matter?"
"That still won't work," Jie Gui joked. "You want to be a pillar of the country, so you can't call it that. Besides, the Queen Mother gave me to you, and I'm your bodyguard."
"You are not an object," Jiang Heng said. "The queen mother just sent you to protect me. Don't always say that."
Jie Gui said "uh" seriously, and fell into deep thought again.
Jiang Heng felt that Jie Gui and the Jiang family or the Ju family had a deeper relationship than he thought.
"What do I call you?" Jiang Heng asked.
"Just call me by my name, that's what I call my name. I also have a name called 'Gou Chen', but you've heard it before, so you don't have to remember it." Jie Gui said in a trance, "Aren't you sleepy? I'll cook something for you. Ginger tea?"
"Don't mess around," Jiang Hengnuan calmed down, then said lazily, "Let's chat."
These days, when he is not on his way, he has to see a doctor, diagnose the people of the whole town during the day, and write records by the oil lamp at night. He often falls asleep until midnight.
"Well." Jie Gui said casually, "Chat, it's been a long time since I had a chat with me. It's good. Heng'er, what do you want to talk about?"
"Do I really look like my aunt?" Jiang Heng asked curiously.
"Before you come to Yongdu, you should change your face first," Jie Gui replied nonchalantly, staring at Jiang Heng's face, looking a little irritable, and said, "Luo Xuan taught you the art of changing face, how can you be so careless?"
"What does it matter?" Jiang Heng asked blankly.
"Forget it," Jie Gui said, "that's right, it's all life."
Jiang Heng: "???"
Jie Gui thought for a while, and then said, "Well, when you smile, you look a bit like her."
"My mother should be like this when she laughs." Jiang Heng said.
"No," Jie Gui said, "I have seen Mrs. Zhao, don't bully me for not knowing."
Jiang Heng suddenly felt amused, why was Jie Gui's answer always not in the same place as his.
"What kind of person is Auntie?" Jiang Heng asked again, "Is she very gentle?"
"It's good," Jie Gui said, "I don't talk much with her, I think it's okay. I'm with you... Uncle, um, Uncle Biao? We should get to know Jue Lang better. We grew up together. , just like you and your brother."
Jiang Heng nodded, and Jie Gui said again: "After he married your aunt, I didn't stay by his side very much, and replaced Geng Yuan to accompany him. Later, Geng Yuan also left, and I was about to go back, but I was angry with Langer, he called me twice, I just ignored it, thinking that the next time, the next time, I will go back to the Lama Temple, just like before. If I was there that day, maybe he would not die. "
Jiang Heng frowned and said, "He... Didn't Juicang die of illness?"
Jie Gui said lightly: "Really? I don't know, the palace said he caught a cold, took the medicine, and fell asleep early..." Immediately, he woke up from his memory and changed his words: "If I were here, I wouldn't. Makes him cold, um, that's it."
Jiang Heng looked at Jie Gui, and Jie Gui's eyes were a little dazed. After a while, Jiang Heng stretched out his hand and gently pressed his head.
"It's not your fault," Jiang Heng said, "don't take it to heart."
Jie Gui smiled and said, "Thanks."
"What kind of person is he?" Jiang Heng said again.
"He's a beautiful person." Jie Gui said, "The Empress Dowager Jiang adopted me and brought me to Luoyan City. The Yong people all use me as an animal, but he is different."
Jiang Heng didn't want Jie Gui to be immersed in the past. There may be many sad feelings in his calm tone.
"Where's my father?" Jiang Heng said, "What kind of person is he?"
Jie Gui said: "On the day that Ju Lang died, your father was no longer in the north. He was already living in Anyang by himself. With his black sword, he wanted to kill all those who were enemies of Yong Kingdom for him. I was in a hurry. Hurry back, you won't be able to see Juicang for the last time."
After speaking, Jie Gui suddenly turned his head and said, "Do you know how uncomfortable a person is when they are the most uncomfortable?"
Jiang Heng pondered for a moment. He had experienced that kind of pain when Luo Xuan brought Geng Shu's ashes.
"I know." Jiang Heng said.
Jie Gui said: "You read a lot, describe it? I only know the words 'Liver and intestines are broken'. At first I never understood how the liver and intestines are broken?"
"Yes," Jiang Heng said. "The colic is so painful that you can't breathe."
Jie Gui: "There is also 'heartache like a twist'."
Jiang Heng: "Well... yes."
Jie Gui said: "But those are all too far away. Compared to the discomfort of losing him, the so-called 'liver and bowels' is like being bitten by a mosquito, it doesn't hurt or itches. But I really can't think of a better description than this. already."
Jiang Heng thought for a while, and finally said: "The stars and rivers in the sky have fallen from now on, and they have become purgatory fires; I dare not look up, the sky is falling apart, and the sea is tumultuous."
"Yes..." Jie Gui murmured, "It really feels like this. This sentence is so good, I have to remember it."
Jie Guichi|Naked body, turned over and got out of bed, found a pen and paper, and wrote it on the paper. The handwriting was crooked, and it was obvious that he had never practiced.
"The characters are ugly," Jie Gui looked up at Jiang Heng while writing, and said, "It's as ugly as me, I'm laughing."
Jiang Heng patted his back lightly.
"Live well." Jie Gui whispered in his ear, "It's always good to live, not for yourself, but also for those who care about you."
In the early morning of the next day, the rain stopped for a while, and Jie Gui took advantage of this time to urge Jiang Heng to get on the road quickly. But soon after the two entered the mountain, the supplies they carried were robbed.
In all directions, on the trees, on the mountains, and on the cliffs, there were all Linhu hunters holding strong bows. Thousands of bows and arrows were pointed at them, and the leader called them loudly.
Jiang Heng: "I thought you knew what Feng Yu meant."
Jie Gui emphasized his tone: "I thought you knew what Feng Yu meant."
Jiang Heng: "You live in the palace and you're a military attache, how could you not know? How could I know when I just came?"
Jie Gui: "That's your brother's bird, you don't know who knows?"
Two people: "… "
Jie Gui was dressed in an indigo-colored martial robe and had a slender figure. He immediately pulled out his sword without saying a word, and blocked Jiang Heng with his own body, like a mountain, not allowing anyone to approach.
Jiang Heng knew how Jie Gui's injury came about.
"Go back first," Jie Gui said solemnly, "I'll kill them all for you."
Jiang Heng looked up at the sky, he was not Geng Shu, he didn't spend time with the eagle, he didn't understand the meaning of Haidongqing's flying trajectory, and he couldn't communicate with it. Now it seems that its circling movements may be non-stop. Warning, there are enemies ahead.
"What are they talking about?" Jiang Heng asked.
"Stuff," Jie Gui said, "let's get out."
Jiang Heng said, "Give it to them."
Jie Gui: "No."
Jie Gui is already considered good-natured, and with Geng Shu, it is estimated that he will have to go up and stab a few to death first, and then speak out of anger.
Jiang Heng: "It was originally for them."
Jie Gui: "Can this be the same?!"
Jiang Heng didn't want Jie Gui to fight, arrows from thousands of people shot down overwhelmingly, and the two of them brought horses and mules, even if they could run away, they would be injured.
"Give it to them," Jiang Heng grabbed Jie Gui and said seriously, "Listen to me."
Saying that, Jiang Heng walked up to Jie Gui and blocked him. Jie Gui lowered his head in disbelief and looked at Jiang Heng in front of him.
"Take it if you want!" Jiang Heng shouted towards the heights, "Take it all, these are originally for you! I only need this!"
Jiang Heng took out a booklet from the supplies, which he had written down along the way, and showed it to a high place, meaning it had to be taken away, and no one could stop it now.
Jie Gui was really angry and wanted to yell at Jiang Heng, but he held back and said, "They don't understand."
"Understood," Jiang Heng said, "Look, they put away the weapons."
Jiang Heng guessed that there must be people in this group who can understand Chinese, but he didn't want to say it. After all, the hatred between Yong people and them was too deep.
"Let's go," Jiang Heng slowly stepped back, Jie Gui hesitated, but Jiang Heng took his hand, rubbed his palm, and said, "Go."
Jie Gui threw off Jiang Heng's hand, and angrily retracted his sword, the sword scabbard made a loud noise to show his force.
Jiang Heng was shocked when he heard the sound. There are very few people in the world who can do this. He saw Geng Shu show this when he was fighting against Li Hong. You must have strong and long internal strength to make the sound of gold and iron, and indeed Jie Gui's reputation is well-deserved.
Jie Gui put on Jiang Heng's shoulder, his face was gloomy, and the twisted facial features became more terrifying.
The two walked out of the mountain and sat down in front of the woods.
"It's all right now," Jie Gui said. "The horse is gone, and the things are gone."
Jiang Heng laughed, Jie Gui frowned and said, "Let Hai Dongqing send a letter back to Yongdu, and ask your brother to bring troops to pacify them."
"The Guard is Here"
Jiang Heng said, "How does this work?! Who are they?"
Jie Gui said with anger in his tone: "More than a year ago, we attacked Lin Hu, wiped out more than ten villages and towns, and moved to Haocheng and Luoyan. At that time, many people hid in the mountains, that is, thousands of people. , I couldn't find it no matter how I looked for it at the time, and Guan Wei said I let it go, but I really can't let it go."
"The Yong people occupied their land," Jiang Heng said. "They set fire to their villages, separated their wives and families, and destroyed their families. Now, are they going to drive them out and kill them all?"
"You don't kill them," Jie Gui said sternly, "they will kill you, and there is no reason to argue with the barbarians." Then, Jie Gui had another plan in his mind, and just now he was really dizzy with anger.
"After nightfall today," Jie Gui said, "you just stay on the tree and are not allowed to go anywhere. I'll go back and kill them all. These thousands of people are not my opponents..."
"Jie Gui." Jiang Heng said suddenly.
When Jiang Heng called out his name seriously, Jie Gui's expression changed slightly.
"Don't do this," Jiang Heng said seriously, "No, can you listen to me?"
Jie Gui didn't speak, and looked at Jiang Heng with complicated eyes.
"They will come back to us soon," Jiang Heng said, "don't kill it to solve it."
Jie Gui took a deep breath, Jiang Heng smiled and said, "How about we make a bet?"
Jie Gui suddenly calmed down, turned his head and looked around, as if he had heard something interesting.
"Bet?" Jie Gui returned to his usual demeanor and said, "Okay."
"I bet they will come over before dark," Jiang Heng said.
Jie Gui: "Huh? Chasing us?"
Jiang Heng said: "No, the things are returned as they were, do you believe it or not?"
Jie Gui shook his head, obviously disapproving, but after thinking about it, he said, "What are you betting on?"
Jiang Heng: "If I lose, I promise you one thing."
He knew that Jie Gui wanted him to release Hai Dongqing and asked Luo Yan for help.
Jie Gui said lazily, "If I lose, I promise you one thing too."
"Okay." Jiang Heng smiled, "Then let's take a nap first."
Jiang Heng lay down first on the grassy sea under the mountain. It had rained several times in the past few days, and the grass was filled with fresh water vapor. Jie Gui also lay down, but after a while he got up irritably, revealing his true thoughts.
"Are you serious?" Jie Gui said.
Jiang Heng: "Yes—"
Jiang Heng held the straw in his mouth, opened his eyes to see the sky, and hurriedly said, "No, it's going to rain again."
The rain came again, and Jie Gui had to hide under the tree with him. Fortunately, it only rained and not thundered today. When the sky was dark, Jie Gui said, "If you are going to lose, let me think about it first and ask you to do something."
Jiang Heng said angrily, "What else can I do other than send letters?"
Jie Gui said: "I believed you were going to send it, but I wanted to embarrass you with something else, so I'm happy."
Jiang Heng: "…"
However, at this moment, a shout suddenly came from a distance, Jie Gui's expression changed immediately, and Jiang Heng looked out from under the tree curiously.
