The General and His Enemy Your Highness

Chapter 111 The Most Gentle Person

Yong'an is prosperous, and there are restaurants on the street, most of the people who drink to meet friends are bold, and gather around a few tables to drink and warm up, chatting about the world.

"Hey, have you heard that? The Luoyin cult scolded the emperor for being stupid, so bold enough." With a bowl of wine in his hand, the rough man lowered his voice and said, "That's right, our one! , Hey, I heard that there is a Mingyue Tower built in the palace, which is specially used to raise beauties and enjoy themselves."

The black and thin man on the side sneered: "People don't have to worry about food and clothing in the palace. They conscript soldiers when they are in war, and collect taxes when they have no money. I heard that the Central Plains people in the cities of Xixia were given to them before. Even the humblest slaves live worse. , the imperial court is good, if they don’t care about it, if it weren’t for King Xiping’s fighting spirit this time, maybe we will end up in the same way in the future.”

The slightly thinner man hurriedly said: "Don't say it, don't say it, you dare to say this, you are dying?! If you say that the cult is evil enough, I heard that several people were arrested on the East Street two days ago. I glanced at it, hey, they are all lifeless, you said that you can be reincarnated and resurrected after death, and you can become a god, are you telling the truth?"

The black and thin man said contemptuously: "I never heard that you can become a god after death. If you die once and become a god, will you go?"

"Don't go, don't go." The thinner civilian man shook his head, "It's better to live than to die. Who knows what they say is true or false. It's not worth taking a life for nothing. My wife is still waiting for me at home. Let's go gone."

As he spoke, he drank up the remaining wine, and left as if fleeing amidst the laughter.

The owner of the restaurant standing at the counter was pulling the abacus, the corner of his mouth curled into an imperceptible arc, and told the waiter to watch, he leisurely went to the backyard, put the note that said "everything is going well" into the bamboo tube, and put the note on the corner of the wall. A blue brick was pulled out, and the bamboo tube was pushed in instead.

Ever since he learned about the Luoyin Sect, Mei Geng planned to use the court's hand to expose the evil sect. Qin Gui exchanged his serious injury for the evidence, so he should make good use of it, and Lin Shuyu was as stable as Mount Tai, as if he had nothing to fear, which made Mei Geng even more sure— —Lin Shuyu's power in the court may be stronger than he knows.

Holding the news sent back by the informant, Mei Geng leaned against the withered osmanthus tree in the courtyard and meditated.

"What are you thinking about?" A warm and clear voice came from the corridor, and the gentle young man in plain clothes came slowly, with jade hairpins in his hair, and in his eyes were the spring snow in March, and the clear water and mist in the south of the Yangtze River.

Mei Geng sighed, smashed the news with internal force, and then grabbed the approaching person into his arms, kissed the cheek lightly, but avoided answering Chu Ce's previous question, "It's cold, wear more clothes." some."

Surrounding the little guy's slightly cool body, unexpectedly he smiled in a low voice and said, "There's you."

The humanoid heater Mei Geng couldn't help but sighed again, "You."

There is no way to get a wife.

After a while, the little guy in his arms whispered again: "I just went to see Qin Gui, he is better, maybe he will wake up in two days."

Mei Geng froze for a moment, unable to answer for a while.

That's right, how could someone as intelligent and transparent as Xiao Ce fail to see the pain he was trying to suppress.

One arm hooked up from the neck, and the other was injured, so he pulled at the hem of his clothes.The cheek was soft to the touch, it was a kiss, and then a voice as soft as nephrite rang in my ears: "I can't replace anyone around you, but I will always be by your side, Mei Geng, we can't stop yet."

They are people who are not qualified to stop. They are destined to be ups and downs in the sea of ​​blood and corpses, wandering in troubled times for a long time, with no way back.

Mei Geng closed his eyes and smiled wryly: "I know all about it."

Xixia was temporarily pacified, but it was not completely subdued. It was just a strategy to delay the army. There were two scourges in the South and the North. Even the scourge of Lin Shuyu had not been eradicated.

Natural disasters and wars caused the people to have nothing to cover their bodies and food to eat. Mei Geng once saw the bark and grass roots of thousands of miles of land to fill their stomachs; he saw the people in the city swallowing the soil because of hunger; Go to Yizi and eat, eat people and cook bones.

Mei Geng thinks he is not a benevolent person, but he is not willing to be like this in the country and the people. It is not ambitious, but just...seeking peace of mind.

The two embraced each other under the tree, and the wind blew off the residual flowers, which seemed to be curling up like clouds.

Mei Geng was in a trance for a long time before whispering softly: "Xiao Ce, I am also a human being with a mortal body and a mortal."

There will be unbearable heartache, all thoughts will be lost, and the appearance will be crazy, ordinary mortals.

"So don't force yourself." Chu Ce rarely took the initiative, kissed the corner of his lips, and whispered soothingly, "Mei Geng, Mei Lang, you are the gentlest person I have ever met in this life,"

For a moment, Mei Geng didn't know whether to be moved or to laugh at him for being stupid.

Said that the person who killed himself was gentle?

He still remembered that when he was reborn, Chu Ce couldn't even eat, and he would vomit faintly when he saw meat.

However, His Royal Highness Huai, who had a delicate face, blushed, stood on tiptoe to touch his forehead, and said softly: "It's true, when I first saw you that day, you wanted to protect me, so I believed it. It has been 30 years since then. , I have always believed."

——Mei Geng is his god.

Mei Geng was stunned.

30 years.

The memory of the past is still clear and vivid, the young man who was just in his prime at that time, a well-clothed and well-fed man, and a humble and miserable man, the difference between cloud and mud.

Up to this day, the wind and frost were like blades, cutting them all over with cuts and bruises. Mei Geng's eyes suddenly became hot, and he murmured: "But I didn't protect you well, and I didn't protect other people well either."

The person in his arms smiled softly, his voice was like ivy wrapping around a tree, gentle and clear, "I'm not in front of you alive? Qin Gui will get better too, Mei Lang, one day, the sea will be clear and the river will be peaceful, and the world will be at peace."

Beautiful, unrealistic fantasies are precisely the only reason for them to persevere today.

The sea is clear and the river is Yan, and the world is peaceful.

The four directions worship, and the kingdoms come to court.

-

Qin Gui was a military commander, but he was not an official in the capital, and it was also his duty to escort Mei Geng back to Yong'an, so the injury and coma were not conspicuous.

As Chu Ce said, Qin Gui woke up after being in a coma for seven whole days, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Wang Taifei who was guarding the room.

Qin Gui has abided by the rules for many years and never violated the rules. Su Jing was stunned on the spot when she heard the mother, but Ling Luo, the personal maid, exclaimed, turned around and called Master Lu in.

So as soon as he entered the door, he saw Concubine Su who was crying into tears, and Young Master Qin who was at a loss.

When Qin Gui woke up, the entire palace was alarmed. When Mei Geng and Chu Ce heard the news, they immediately put down the official documents at hand. Seeing that Qin Gui was conscious, the string in Mei Geng's mind that could be disconnected at any time was stabilized.

This time, he fell into the trick and suffered heavy losses, all the people he brought were lost in the hands of the Luoyin Cult, Qin Gui said that he wanted to be punished.

Mei Geng was startled, and narrowed his eyes coldly, "With Young Master Qin's current appearance, why do you think you can bear punishment?"

The haggard young master Qin choked up for a moment.

Su Jing immediately said angrily: "Presumptuous! Do you talk to your brother like this?!"

Mei Geng: "..."

His status is not as good as Xiao Ce's, and he is also not as good as Qin Gui's. King Xiping, who is powerful and mighty outside, is a paper tiger at home.

——The kind that has no status.

Qin Gui, who was still seriously injured, also had a headache, and gave Mei Geng an apologetic look. The latter raised his eyebrows slightly, looked back with a half-smile, and said in a lazy voice, "Forgive me once."

Qin Gui paused, "Thank you?"

Strange and harmonious coexistence.

Su Jing worked hard for several days, and she was willing to go back to her room to rest when she saw Qin Gui woke up. After she left, Qin Gui, who was in low spirits, said with a gloomy expression, "I was careless. They had already prepared a secret way in the room. Our people As soon as I entered, I was hit by a trick, and many masters were ambushed around, and none of them came back except me."

Mei Geng was silent for a moment, then said: "It's not your fault."

Then I thought about it, and added another sentence: "At least grasp the clues and track down the evidence. Now that the Luoyin Sect has been handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for investigation, Luo Kuan's method is not simple. In the past two days, several Luoyin Sect members have been found, and they have followed the vines to investigate. Just go down."

Qin Gui remained silent as usual, with a flash of fierceness in his eyes, he said coldly, "That's fine."

Young Master Qin, who grew up with Mei Geng, is not a dull man, on the contrary, he is only extremely restrained, with the wolf-like ruthlessness in his bones, which is exactly the same as that of the Mei family.

After all, he was a seriously injured person, Qin Gui didn't wake up for a long time, and then fell asleep again to regain his energy.

With the intervention of the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Liu Changjue's pressing force, the Luoyin Cult became more and more notorious, and could be called a street mouse, but the mysterious leader never showed up, but His Highness Duke Huai, who was sick, rested in the mansion for half a month. Reappeared in Morning Morning.

However, His Royal Highness Luo Wang, who was only confined for three days, is still unable to get out of the couch in the mansion.

After the court, Master Lin Shuyu, who had always been at odds with King Huai, took the initiative to walk over to him and walked shoulder to shoulder with him. The two chatted and laughed, which surprised all the courtiers.

Actually, Lin Shuyu said with a smile: "His Royal Highness, you and I should be the same kind of people."

They both know each other well, they were born in a shady corner, not cared by anyone, those gloomy and hopeless pasts like gangrene.

Unexpectedly, Chu Ce replied with a gentle smile, "Master Lin, why did you say that? This king and your lord have never been in the same way. There is a big difference."

"Oh? Let me hear it?" Lin Shuyu pretended to be humble.

Chu Ce paused, and looked over seriously, "This king is born noble, how can Master Lin compare?"

"..." Lin Shuyu smiled more kindly, and said lightly, "Your Highness is polite, but the officials are overstepping."

After saying that, Chu Ce was too lazy to deal with him when he was out of the palace gate. He caught a glimpse of the carriage of Prince Xiping's mansion, and speeded up without a trace. Then the courtiers passing by here saw King Xiping, who was resting in the mansion and couldn't make it to the early court, from the carriage. came out, and carried His Highness Duke Huai back into the car.

In front of the palace gate, there were several stone sculptures in an instant.
