Jiang Tangzhou had just put on his clothes when Tingyu came.
While knocking on the door, she was still cursing something, Jiang Tangzhou called in, and she pushed the door open, followed by someone.
"I told you to come back after your injury is healed! If the wound opens again, what if you really lose your life? Do you really think that your life can be thrown away casually?" Listen Yu still couldn't stop muttering, "I saved your life, even if you really want to lose it, I have to lose it."
Xie Yi, a tall and thick man, was so helpless to retaliate after Ting Yu yelled at him, his face turned red, he looked at Jiang Tangzhou in embarrassment, and said, "Prince Zhen, I will report something later."
Jiang Tangzhou said "Huh?"
Ting Yu took the letter from Xie Yi and passed it on to Jiang Tangzhou. The contents of the envelope were not thick, probably just a thin piece of paper.
"Letter..." Xie Yi paused, subconsciously glanced at Ting Yu's expression, and then continued, "The letter was sent from Hengguo, it's..."
Ting Yu then said: "It's that old traitor again..."
"Ting Yu," Jiang Tangzhou interrupted Ting Yu, then turned to Xie Yi and said in a deep voice, "I see."
Xie Yi clasped his fists in both hands, and when he got up, he probably touched the wound, his brows frowned slightly. Ting Yu supported him and asked nervously, "Are you all right?"
"It's okay." Xie Yi smiled at Ting Yu.
"I'll help you go back."
Ting Yu's hand hooked the other's arm, and just as he was about to leave with Jiang Tangzhou, he heard Jiang Tangzhou say, "Wait a minute."
Ting Yu was stunned for a moment: "Master, what's wrong?"
"You go out first." Jiang Tangzhou leaned against the head of the bed, raised his hand and squeezed the space between his brows, "I have something to say, I want to talk to young general Xie alone."
Ting Yu seemed to hesitate: "But... Lord, your body..."
Jiang Tangzhou laughed and said, "You girl, are you worried about my body or his body?"
Ting Yu's face turned red immediately: "Master, don't talk nonsense!"
Jiang Tangzhou waved his hand, signaling her to go out first. Ting Yu had no choice but to look at Xie Yi worriedly, and got a "reassuring" look from the other party, and then went out and closed the door.
Jiang Tangzhou rubbed the gauze on his arm, and there was a slight pain when he touched it. After a few seconds of silence, he opened his mouth and said, "Do you want to go back to Hengguo?"
Xie Yi was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and fixed his eyes on the other party: "King Zhen..."
"If you want to go back, I can find a way to send you back to Heng safely." Jiang Tangzhou said lightly.
Xie Yi first froze in place, then as if he just realized it, he suddenly knelt down again, and said in a muffled voice: "The final general is willing to follow King Zhen around." He was actually showing his loyalty.
This was somewhat beyond Jiang Tangzhou's expectations.
In his impression, Xie Yi has always been a die-hard one who only cares about the righteousness of his family and the country, but he never thought that the other party is actually a deep-rooted infatuation.
But the little girl Ting Yu had such good luck.
The expression on Jiang Tangzhou's face was slightly relaxed, and he continued: "Do you know that following my path is not easy?"
"Although the final general doesn't know what King Zhen wants to do," Xie Yi said firmly, "but the final general can almost guess what the road ahead is. The final general is not afraid, he just wants to follow King Zhen around and protect Ting Yu for the rest of his life. Safety."
Jiang Tangzhou closed her eyes, and said after a while: "If you want to marry Tingyu, I can let her go, and you go live your lives."
Jiang Tangzhou smiled wryly: "Ting Yu has been with me since I was a child, and I have never really regarded her as a maid. She is like the king's younger sister, so you have to know that if she is bullied, I will not do anything. Let you go."
"The general understands!" Xie Yi clasped his fists in both hands, and then kowtowed heavily on the ground, "The general will protect Tingyu as his own eyeballs, love her, and never let her be bullied in the slightest!"
"Who is going to be your eyeball!" Ting Yu pushed the door open, gave Xie Yi lightly, and said anxiously with a blushing face, "I will follow you if I don't leave you!" As he said that, there were still tears in his eyes, and he sucked his nose extremely aggrieved, "I usually have a bump, and I always serve Ting Yu. If Ting Yu leaves, I will definitely not get used to it. After so many years, listening to the rain The rain is by my side, I am sure I am used to it, and I will never leave my grandfather when I listen to the rain..."
She talked nonsense, and finally gave Xie Yi a hard punch: "Who told you to talk nonsense in front of me? When did I say that I want to be with you? I heard that Yusheng is my man." , Death is the ghost of the master, and I will never follow others!"
Xie Yi was hit by Tingyu's punch so that his blood surged, his wound hurt so badly, his lips turned white.
Ting Yu looked at him worriedly: "You... are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Xie Yi tried his best to smile at her, and said, "Prince Zhen, the general will follow your orders."
Jiang Tangzhou opened his eyes, the gray pupils seemed to be full of emotions, but also seemed to have nothing.
After a long time, he let out a long sigh of relief: "Forget it, the two of you go back first, this matter needs to be discussed in the long run."
--------------------------
Jiang Tangzhou didn't open the letter until late at night. Under the faint light, he could only see a blurry shadow.
Ting Yu reckoned that he was still worried about Xie Yi, but Jiang Tangzhou didn't bother, so he planned to burn the letter directly - anyway, he could probably guess what was written on it.
Just as Jiang Tangzhou raised a corner to approach the candlelight, he heard a voice in his ear: "What is this?"
Jiang Tangzhou shook his hands in fright, and the flames drifted directly to his palm, causing him to "hiss" and his palm was grabbed by someone.
"Is it burning?"
Jiang Tangzhou's palm turned red, which was especially obvious on his fair palm.
"Why are you so careless?" Yin Wenzheng pinched his palm and rubbed it lightly, before continuing, "The person who sent you a letter is kind of interesting, he didn't write a few words, but sent a bunch of hair. "
Jiang Tangzhou suddenly raised his head: "Hair?"
It was rare to see Jiang Tangzhou having such a big emotional ups and downs. Yin Wenzheng's eyes fell on the lock of hair that fell out of the envelope again, raised his eyebrows, and said: "Yes, hair. A lock of black hair. Rope tangled."
Jiang Tangzhou's expression gradually turned cold: "That rope is black and red intertwined to make four strands?"
Yin Wenzheng picked up the lock of hair and looked at it for a while, then nodded and said, "Yes."
Jiang Tangzhou withdrew his hand abruptly, clenched into a fist, his face turned cold.
"What's the matter, is there something wrong?" Yin Wenzheng raised the lock of hair and looked at it carefully, but he didn't see any difference from ordinary people's hair. "Whose hair is this?"
Jiang Tangzhou lowered his eyes: "My brother."
"Brother?" Yin Wenzheng was even more curious, "What kind of younger brother? From the same mother? Didn't your mother and concubine give birth to you alone? Where did you get a younger brother?"
Jiang Tangzhou took the lock of hair from Yin Wenzheng's hand, stroked the black and red rope, heard the candle flame crackling, and said: "Last time you said that I will help you, just treat it as if you let me Do you still count the first thing you do?"
Yin Wenzheng remembered: "You said that when we traded, you promised me the three things you would do for me?"
"Yeah." Jiang Tangzhou nodded and said, "If you say I'll help you, it's the first one."
A smile appeared in Yin Wenzheng's eyes: "Of course it counts, but how are you going to help me?"
"You open the letter."
"Are you sure?" Yin Wenzheng raised his eyebrows slightly, staring at the letter on the desktop—it was obviously a confidential letter from Hengguo, but Jiang Tangzhou was willing to let him open it. The most basic trust
"Sure." Jiang Tangzhou nodded firmly, "Let's dismantle it."
"Then I won't be polite."
Yin Wenzheng took a thin piece of letter paper from the envelope, and he spread out the folded letter paper and placed it flat on the desk: "Unpack it, and then what?"
Jiang Tangzhou was a little helpless: "I can't see it, can the prince read it for you?"
"It's natural." Yin Wenzheng smiled, "It's a little effort, you don't need to be polite."
"Get Qin Guo's military defense map, or replace it with your life." Yin Wenzheng said "tsk" and said, "Replace it with your life? Whose life is it referring to? The owner of this lock of hair?"
Jiang Tangzhou didn't answer his question, but continued: "Now you know, when I first came to Hengguo, I brought this order from Queen Mother Qin."
"Then did you get it?" Yin Wenzheng asked him.
"What do you think?" Jiang Tangzhou asked back, "If I got it, would I still sit here?"
Yin Wenzheng stroked his chin, his eyebrows curved: "You never thought of taking it at all."
"Indeed." Jiang Tangzhou said indifferently, "I never thought of participating in the dispute between the two countries. I just want to spend the rest of my life in peace..."
Yin Wenzheng frowned slightly, and the smile on his face faded: "Then why did you show me this letter?"
Jiang Tangzhou: "I remember you once told me that the reason why the fourth prince is your strong enemy is because he has guarded the peace of Heng Kingdom for several years, and even forced Qin Kingdom to retreat steadily this time."
Yin Wenzheng nodded.
"But because of this, Emperor Ling Yu will definitely be wary of him. Therefore, if the two countries go to war at this time..." Jiang Tangzhou lowered his eyes to block the changing expression, "He is not at the border at the moment. If there is a fight, Ling Yu will It is even more impossible for Emperor Yu to let him go to the border gate, so if you take the initiative to invite Ying at this time, you will have a chance to go to the border gate to make military achievements."
"Emperor Ling Yu is also happy to see it succeed. Seeing that you check and balance each other, he will reap the benefits of fishing."
"Don't you know..." The light in Yin Wenzheng's eyes became more and more obvious, and he fixedly looked at the Jiangtang boat under the candlelight, as if he had picked up some treasure.
"The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole follows." The two said in unison.
"A Tang, you really are a lonely bosom friend!" Yin Wenzheng smiled wantonly, patted Jiang Tangzhou's shoulder heavily, and then continued, "I will give you a fake military defense map, and you can find someone to send it to you." When we go back to Qin Kingdom, Qin Kingdom, which has obtained the military defense map, will definitely send troops to fight, and then I will try to restrain Ling Yingchong and make him want to go to the border, but there is no way for him to go!"
"But you have to be a real general and capable of leading troops in battle." Compared with Yin Wenzheng, Jiang Tangzhou was extraordinarily calm, "Do you have it?"
Yin Wenzheng smiled and asked back: "Do you think I have?"
Jiang Tangzhou stared fixedly at the blurry shadow in front of him - he didn't know what the other person looked like, but presumably, it shouldn't be much different.
During the days when he came to the Prince's Mansion, he often heard those maidservants discussing that the Prince's handsome appearance is one of the most handsome men in the capital, and women would be tempted just by looking at him.
He never cared about the so-called appearance, because this thing can be seen but cannot be touched, nor can it be eaten. There is no big difference between having it or not.
So in his memory, Yin Wenzheng's face was always blurred.
But at this moment, he suddenly felt that he could see the other party's eyes full of light, with the world in his arms, and Fang Qiu's utter enthusiasm.
In the end, Jiang Tangzhou did not answer his question, but settled his thoughts, and said calmly: "You arrange a trustworthy person for me, and I will send the fake military defense map to Qin Kingdom."
"Ah Tang—" Yin Wenzheng stretched out his hand, put the jade flute against the opponent's chin, lifted it up slightly, his eyes swept from the corners of his eyes to the corners of his mouth, "Aren't you excited at all? Maybe in a few years, this world will be ours."
Jiang Tangzhou calmly said: "That will only be yours, not mine."
Yin Wenzheng let out a "tsk": "What are you talking about, husband and wife are one body, it's mine, isn't it yours?"
"Husband and wife are birds in the same forest," Jiang Tangzhou raised his hand to hold the jade flute, flicked it aside, and said calmly, "Fly separately when disaster is imminent."
"Hey!" Yin Wenzheng looked at Jiang Tangzhou's back as he got up and left, and heaved a long sigh, "It's boring, very boring."
"Prince, you can find something more interesting," Jiang Tangzhou said, "I'm going to sleep, please, Prince."
Yin Wenzheng stared at Jiang Tangzhou for a long time with his mouth curled up, but he didn't see that he had any intention of keeping a guest, so he got up in embarrassment and walked away in despair.
