That afternoon, Wei Ben released the carrier pigeon and quickly notified his father, who was still an official at the court, that trouble was coming. For a long time to come, Wei Zhuo must be prepared to face the bloody storm that the DPRK brought against him.
"They're out of town," the men reported.
"How many guards are there?" Wei Ben asked.
"There is no guard," the subordinate replied, "only three people, Jiang Heng, Juiciao, and Shan Ze."
Wei Ben thought about the way to kill these three people on the road. First of all, can they kill them all together on the road where they return to Luoyan? Geng Shu's martial arts are outstanding, and he is the one who can defeat Li Hong in a duel, but he can't defend against thousands of horses and arrows. Jiang Heng... This person's skills are unknown, and he is an assassin who almost killed Juicong with one sword.

Shan Ze has no martial arts skills at all, and can be excluded.
But among the three, as long as one escapes, it is bound to cause even more trouble. Juicong usually turns a blind eye to the Wei family, but Juicong is his son, and it is another matter for him to attack the royal family.
"Send someone to follow," Wei Ben said, "don't let them find out, and then start with full confidence."
In late autumn, the outside of the fort is golden.
The three camped in the wild, Shan Ze took care of himself hard and didn't want to cause trouble to Jiang Heng and Geng Shu. Today, Jiang Heng will make tea and drink it by himself.
"Are you from Wangdu?" Shan Ze asked.
"No," Jiang Heng smiled, "I'm not from Yong."
Shan Ze said, "I'm talking about Luoyang, the capital of the king."
"That's right," Jiang Heng said after sighing, "I have lived in Luoyang for three years. How can you tell?"
"People in Wangdu always drink a cup of tea after lunch," Shan Ze said. "There is no such habit outside the Great Wall."
Jiang Heng said: "When I was a child, my brother worked as a painter and carpenter. After earning money, he bought some tea for me to drink. Tea is always better than wine. Drinking it makes people sober."
Shan Ze said: "You both grew up together. Like me and Shui Jun, our parents died very early, and we are left to live on each other."
Jiang Heng nodded, the patriarchs of the Shan clan and the Shui clan were killed in a few days, but that was another story. Shan Ze didn't say much, and Jiang Heng didn't ask.
Geng Shu patrolled outside, came back, and said, "Why did you do it yourself? I'm in a hurry to come back and make tea for you."
Jiang Heng took the lunch and handed it to Geng Shu. It was the rice and frozen yokan soup that Shui Jun had prepared for them in the city. It was cold in autumn and the food could be kept for three days.
Geng Shu put the iron box on the fire and melted the yolk. Shan Ze asked again: "How is it?"
"There are indeed people following, but it's still two teams." Geng Shu released Costin to investigate, knowing that Haocheng sent people to follow, but they were far away.
Jiang Heng gradually began to admire Shan Ze with admiration.
He is very smart. Among the people outside the Great Wall that Jiang Heng knows, Shan Ze is the smartest. He is familiar with the transformation of Yong people. The rebellion was planned by him. But in the end, he was attacked by the juice clan, and his success fell short.
Shan Ze is far more alert to the dangers lurking around him than Jiang Heng, just like a counselor with Jiang Heng's strategy and Geng Shu's vigilance. In the past few days, Jiang Heng and Shan Ze were chatting, and they actually wanted to meet each other late.
It is a pity that Yong Guo was not able to bring this Di clan king into the East Palace and become a counselor under the commander of Taki.
Jiang Heng and Shan Ze always obeyed the etiquette when talking with Shan Ze, and even to the point of being rigid, what they talked about was nothing but the current situation of Guolue and Dayong. Geng Shu ate and listened, and did not express any opinions.
"What do you think?" Jiang Heng sometimes asks Geng Shu, after all, he has lived in Luoyan for four years and is more familiar with the palace environment.
"I don't know." Geng Shu got up and went to pour tea, "But from what you said, the Yong Kingdom will be destroyed at any time."
Jiang Heng laughed, it was true, the building was about to collapse, and many people were still singing and dancing, but the collapse of a country often happened overnight. As long as Juicong suffered a defeat in front of him, all ethnic groups in the Yong Kingdom would be destroyed. will fall apart.
Shan Ze finished drinking the tea, put down the cup, and said, "Now I feel that with you here, the Yong Kingdom will not and will not be able to destroy the country."
"It's hard to say." Jiang Heng smiled.
Geng Shu packed up the cup and the food box, and said, "Well, if you arrive at Luoyan one day earlier, you will have a bed earlier."
Shan Ze was imprisoned in the water prison for three years, and his body is in the recovery period. The long journey may leave the root of the disease. He must arrive at Luoyan as soon as possible, and then seek medical treatment for him.
The sun that came out was very long, and the way back was very short. Day after day, all the way, Jiang Heng talked about the current situation of Yongguo the most, as well as the people in the East Palace and the people in the court. Geng Shu knew everything and said everything, and described everyone from head to toe once for Jiang Heng and Shan Ze to analyze.
"You two always seem to be thinking about some kind of ghost idea." Geng Shu said suspiciously.
"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will be victorious in a hundred battles." Shan Ze said with a smile, "You Han people said it."
Jiang Heng said: "The things in the world are nothing more than people's hearts."
In the blink of an eye, time flies by. On the road leading to Luoyan City, Jiang Heng unexpectedly met the Feng Rong people again.
"Meng He!" Meng He, wearing a winter hunting suit, smiled at Jiang Heng from a distance.
"Meng He!" Jiang Heng also called Meng He in the same way. Their names all have the meaning of "eternal", which seems to be a lot more cordial.
Meng He pointed behind them and said something.
Shan Ze said: "He said that someone is following us."
Geng Shu said: "It doesn't matter, let them come."
Meng He said a long series of words, Shan Ze said: "Ask if you want to free up manpower to help escort."
Geng Shu: "Didn't he escort him all the way? He followed him not long after he left Haocheng."
Meng He nodded towards Shan Ze, Shan Ze sat down and returned the salute.
"You know each other?" Jiang Heng asked curiously.
Shan Ze thought for a second, Jiang Heng didn't seem to know Meng He's position yet, but since Meng He didn't express his position, he was inconvenient to talk too much, and replied, "It's a one-sided relationship."
"Where's my bear?" Jiang Heng asked Geng Shu to translate again.
Before Geng Shu could speak, Meng He understood it, as if he had learned a lot of Chinese in half a year, and replied, "Very good! It's grown so big!"
After speaking, Jiang Heng said, "Just put it back when it's grown up, don't feed it too much, you won't be looking for food anymore!"
Meng He said, "Before I let it out, I'll give you a look!"
Jiang Heng said in his heart that you were going to drag the two bears into Luoyan City, which would probably scare away many people, but only when Meng He was joking, Geng Shu drove and whistled at him, the wind feathers flew over, Luo Yan in front of the car. Meng He waved his hand, turned his horse's head and left, and continued hunting.
Three days later, near the Xiayuan Festival, Jiang Heng saw colorful silk and paper lanterns hanging all over the city.
The Yong people built their country with color and black, and said that the five virtues are forever. The most solemn festival of the year.
Jiang Heng spent nearly half a year outside the country like a savage. After returning to the capital, it was as if he had returned from a barren land to the kingdom of Ming, and his heart could not help but be filled with emotion. A lively place is always beautiful. For thousands of years, people living in the land of Shenzhou have gathered together, divided their labor and cooperated, and produced splendid poems and books, forming cities, villages, towns, important cities, and national capitals. The way a company should look.
On the same day, Juicong received news that Jiang Heng was returning to the DPRK, and Geng Shu also came back.
In the past six months, the scouts have kept secret reports about Jiang Heng every day. Juicong has already started to hate him a little bit. This kind of hatred is that Jiang Heng has opened up one scar after another, but they really exist.
Juicong knew very well that some problems had to be solved, but just like good medicine is bitter, drinking too much is always uncomfortable. Jiang Heng almost pried open his mouth and forced him down one dose after another, not allowing him to rest. It just annoyed him.
What's more, the most important thing right now is foreign troubles, and leaving them alone has added to him a lot of troubles.
"They entered the city?" Juicong said.
Zeng Yu replied, "Yes, His Highness Miao is back too."
Juicong: "No one else?"
Zeng Yu: "It seems that there is another person with him."
Zeng Rong has reminded his younger brother that the Zeng family is about to attack the Wei family, and Jiang Heng is the chess set by their father, Zeng Yu must protect him to a certain extent.
Ju Cong knew very well who this person was, and he was even more dissatisfied with Jiang Heng's behavior at the time. First of all, he was on the team of the East Palace. Pull into the water.
After all, Ju Cong is still a famous monarch, and if he is there one day, he will have to obey him, even if he is the appointed successor.
"Let's talk about the situation at Yubi Pass." Juicong decided to put this unpleasantness behind him and said to the ministers.
Today, he summoned his ministers. More than half of the military attachés from the imperial court came, and Geng Shu's horse was about to return to the imperial court. Juicong decided to arrange it in advance, and then let Geng Shu lead his troops to take the vanguard and retake the Yubi Pass.
With the case pressed against the golden seal, Zeng Rong began to sort out the Eastern Palace archives and reported on the movements of the jade bicus over the past few days. Once the monarch dies, the emperor must rush back to Jeju to succeed him. At that time, the power will be changed and purged, and there will be no battle.
Yong Guozheng was waiting for this opportunity, and Ling Ling also knew very well that he would not give Juicong this opportunity, and he would most likely send troops ahead of schedule.
In recent years, Juicong has rarely been involved in national affairs. He has never been very interested in matters such as people's livelihood, trade, and diplomacy. Now, he has left it to the East Palace and let Guan Wei help him to deal with it. The general direction is just as he wants.
There is only one thing he is most interested in - fighting. Occupying the land of other countries, capturing the people in the south, and growing his strength little by little, it was like a game of chess, killing his opponents to fear and making him feel unprecedented satisfaction.
As long as military affairs, he will personally inquire.
Halfway through Zeng Rong's report, he suddenly stopped talking.
The ministers of the full hall looked out in unison, the silence made Juicong come back to his senses from the war, and following their gazes, he saw two people.
Geng Shu and Jiang Heng stood in the hall with their hands full of wind and dust.
Juicong: "Are you back?"
"I'm back," Geng Shu clasped his fists and bowed, "Meet the king."
With a smile in his eyes, Jiang Heng held the wooden staff that he had brought before he left, and a man dressed in clothes. He also bowed to King Yong: "I'm back, and I see His Majesty the king."
Juicong didn't ask about Shan Ze, and said lightly: "It's good to come back safely, and live like a savage. You must have suffered a lot outside, clean up, and then go see your grandmother."
The courtiers looked at the two of them quietly, Jiang Heng, who was most like a traveler, glanced at the courtiers and laughed along with them.
"What?" Juicong asked, "Heng'er can say whatever she wants."
In the palace of King Yong, he did not abide by the etiquette like that of the original countries. When Juicong saw Jiang Heng like this, he felt that it was not easy for him. He ran outside for half a year, all for the sake of his country and Dayong. Jiye did his best, and the feeling of disgust in his heart also faded a bit.
"You go first." Jiang Heng said to Geng Shu.
Geng Shu saluted Juicong again, nodded, and turned around.
Juicong looked at Jiang Heng suspiciously, knowing that he was explaining the matter of Shan Ze, and he knew roughly what the Wei family was doing. Although Geng Shu saved Shan Ze, he was very angry all night, and then he thought about it. The arrogance of Shi has long been heard, and it would not be a bad thing to kill Rui who killed him.
Jiang Heng didn't mention Shan Ze, looked around and said, "Huh? Where's Master Lu?"
Before leaving, Jiang Heng came to Chao Ju Cong to say goodbye. He remembered the people present at the time, but now it seems that there are many fewer people.
"His protégé embezzled military salaries," said Ju Cong, "and was torn apart by the Lone King's car. Lu Ji was too old to accept it, so he rested at home."
"Oh." Jiang Heng nodded and said, "Where's Master Zhou?"
Ju Cong said: "Zhouyou misrepresented the military report three years ago, which caused the remnants of the Hu people in the Donglan Mountains to be rampant, and was ordered to think about it behind closed doors."
Footsteps came from outside the hall - Jie Gui came, but he didn't enter the hall, he just stayed outside the hall. Juicong knew that every time Jie Gui appeared, it meant the intention of his mother Jiang Huhou: she should look at Jiang Heng.
Jiang Heng turned a deaf ear and didn't even look back. He stopped and said, "Why didn't Master Wei come?"
"The old problem is committed," Juicong replied, "rest in bed at home, legs and feet are inconvenient."
Jiang Heng nodded, Juicong was very patient, knowing that he must have something to say.
"It's still early today, does His Majesty have time?" Jiang Heng suddenly laughed again.
"Yes," Juicong replied, "what are you going to do?"
Jiang Heng said: "Talk about what I have seen and heard outside."
Zeng Rong's face changed suddenly, Jiang Heng was about to attack now, attacking Wei Jiazheng, but he hadn't discussed it with Jiang Heng yet, so this little guy came as soon as he said it, without any preparations at all
