Heaven

Jing Mingquan clearly knew how black-hearted his fifth brother was, but every time he couldn't remember the lesson, he still wanted to provoke him.

————————————————————————————————————

In the autumn of 1270 in the Celestial Calendar, the Chu army smashed the invading Wuman, recaptured Qingmen Pass, and pursued northward for more than two hundred miles. The leader of Wuman, Borxin, was seriously injured and led the rest of his troops to flee eastward...

Jing Mingrui stretched out a slender jade finger, stroked Ji Kongqing's face lightly, and let out a sigh.

Ji Kongqing knew that she was in a mess right now.

He fought too excitedly in yesterday's pursuit, he rode his horses and fought all the way, leaving only broken limbs and mutilated corpses.In the end, his horsepower was not enough, and he even rewarded the barbarian leader with an arrow from a distance.

It's a pity that the result of a person rushing too fast is that he was accidentally injured by the opponent's arrow. Fortunately, he reacted in time and only scratched his cheek.Now there is a black and red wound on the left side of his face, and half of his face is swollen up to the height of two fingers, like a pig's head.

"Aren't you disfigured now? No matter how much I call you from behind, you won't look back!" Jing Mingrui didn't mention that in fact, he was also able to kill, and the horse under his lap was a good one. Where did she go? She didn't come to her senses until she saw Ji Kongqing was injured.

"Scars are men's medals!" Ji Kongqing mocked, "Oh, of course, people like you who don't forget to protect your evil face in battle will not understand."

Jing Mingrui took off the leopard head mask made of silver on his face casually, and asked in confusion: "Why do you still have an opinion after I changed it? Don't you really think you look more powerful wearing this?"

"..." Ji Kongqing.

Jing Mingrui frowned and said, "The arrowhead that hurt you must have been smeared with poison. Why did it suddenly swell up overnight? Hurry up and see a military doctor!"

Ji Kongqing obediently went to Lao Gao's tent.

He felt that he must be a good time picker.

Because Lao Gao is swearing again.

It was still the same person who scolded.

Li Di was sitting on a low couch, his naked upper body had several bruises, and his black armor and clothes were taken off on the ground.

Lao Gao is giving him medicine.Of course his mouth was not idle.

"I said that among those people is your mother or your son? Whether they live or die is none of your business? Do you need to work so hard for them?"

"..." Li Di probably got used to being scolded, so he listened silently without even moving his brows.

"It seems that your debt with me has not been paid off, and you have started to work for the surname Jing again. Do you think that by being close to my immediate boss, you can cancel the debt owed to me?"

"..."

"If you really benefit from it, it's fine. Maybe I, the lifesaver, can get some of your glory. Hmph, it was for a woman last time, but this time, it's better for a group of irrelevant people! Now I'm injured You have the face to come back and waste my herbal medicine!" Lao Gao finished applying the medicine and began to bandage the wound.

"Don't worry, General Xiaoxia added inner armor to my armor. The wound looks scary, but it's actually not deep." Li Di explained.

"I won't worry about you until I'm full."

"..."

"It turns out that you feel that you are immortal because of Xiaoqi's good craftsmanship. Why don't you go and kill the barbarian leader alone with your bastard?" The old master deliberately exerted force, Even Li Di couldn't help trembling from the pain.

"I'm a marcher, not a horseman." Li Di couldn't help reminding.

"That's right, who has ever seen a bastard who runs so fast?"

"..." Sure enough, shouldn't the curse be returned?

"Get out! Didn't you see that there are still people waiting?" Lao Gao clapped his hands after wrapping up the wound, and stared at Ji Kongqing.

Li Di lowered his head and put it on, and murmured: "Then I'll go to the back and unload the newly arrived herbs."

Ji Kongqing coughed in embarrassment, faced Lao Gao's scorching gaze, and walked into the tent bravely.

The wound on his face was re-opened, cleaned, applied medicine, and bandaged, and it was a whole lot of trouble.

While treating the wound, Ji Kongqing suddenly noticed that there were three black engravings of heaven and man on the heart of Lao Gao's right hand. So he is also a descendant of heaven and man?

Five days later, the wound on Ji Kongqing's face had healed, leaving only a pink scar.

He happened to be on duty today, standing in the commander's big tent, counting ants on the ground boredly, while Jing Mingrui sat aside to handle military affairs.

An acquaintance came into the big tent.

When Jing Mingquan saw Ji Kongqing, he greeted him enthusiastically, but his sentence "Five...cough cough...Brother Ji, you're here too" made Ji Kongqing feel a little tight in his chest.

Ji Kongqing nodded at him, glanced to the side, and suddenly noticed the person who came with him, his eyes were wide open, and he was stunned...

"Mr. Ye's journey is going well?" Jing Mingrui looked very enthusiastic, and greeted the visitor with a smile on his face.But that "Mr. Ye" was obviously not interested, and just greeted him perfunctorily. Ji Kongqing always felt that he was filled with a deep dead air.

"I've checked a little bit along the way. Although the climate here is colder, the soil quality is good. As long as you choose the right variety, the yield in one season may be better than that in Guannei."

Jing Mingrui's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "It's my great blessing to have Mr. Ye's help! How much time does it take for Mr. Ye to make the first batch of seeds? Please feel free to ask if you need anything."

Mr. Ye pondered for a while, and said: "I need to investigate carefully and do some experiments before I can start. You can send dozens of people to help me, and give me all kinds of seeds." Prepare some. It will take at least four months to make the quantity you mentioned."

"As long as we can catch up with Chungeng." Jing Mingrui nodded, "Mr. Ye has worked hard all the way, so let's leave it for today..."

"Let me take Mr. Ye to rest first!" Ji Kongqing said suddenly.

Jing Mingrui glanced at Ji Kongqing suspiciously, and introduced him to Mr. Ye with a smile, and asked him to be in charge of the future hospitality work.

Is he the number one general in the Tianshu Camp?Ji Kongqing had a slight fever on his face.

Mr. Ye's full name is Ye Jiuwen.

Ye Jiuwen is from the country of Zhao, and what he likes most in his life is playing with flowers and plants.He is a two-yin celestial being, with the ability to slightly modify plants, which complements his hobbies.His family's garden is quite famous in Zhao State, but unexpectedly it caused disaster, was framed and imprisoned.

After Jing Mingrui learned of his ability, he attached great importance to it, and asked Jing Mingquan to find ways to rescue him and send him to Chu State.

Jing Mingrui always had a plan in mind.

The Wuman people who have been harassing the northern border of Chu State all the year round are a half-cultivating and half-herding ethnic group.They also farm, but because of the poor harvest, they also have to rely on hunting and grazing for a living.Although Wuman was not in the territory when Heaven and Man established Yuguo, Jing Mingrui felt that since Manzi also cultivated land, it meant that the land in the north was not unusable.

There will be a battle between Chu State and Wuman in the future. Jing Mingrui doesn't want to just guard the pass. He wants to take the initiative to destroy Wuman's young and strong, drive them far away, and solve the northern Xinjiang issue once and for all. land, and established a new province.

Not long ago, the state of Chu obtained a large amount of gold and silver and civilian husbands in the war to capture South Korea, which gave Jing Mingrui an opportunity to realize his plan.

He suggested that Jing Yan use a large amount of gold and silver as settlement money to encourage a group of Chu people to move north, and transfer those Koreans sent to Chu to the north to prepare to settle in the new province.And he personally formulated and executed the battle plan against Wuman.

Of course, due to some small changes, luring the enemy to attack key points became luring the enemy to go deep, but fortunately, the results were almost the same.

If all of this can be carried out smoothly, it will undoubtedly alleviate the problem of Chu's growing population and growing shortage of cultivated land. Chu will have a big granary in the north!

An essential part of this series of plans is to get Ye Jiuwen's help to transform seeds that are more suitable for the environment in the Northland and increase food production.This is why Jing Mingrui attached great importance to Ye Jiuwen and rescued Ye Jiuwen at all costs, allowing Jing Yan to meet and entertain him in person and escort him all the way to the north.

Ji Kongqing sent Ye Jiuwen into a clean tent.

He looked at the other person's face, and couldn't help asking: "Mr. Ye, your face..."

Ye Jiuwen stroked the cyan orchid on his right face with a wry smile and said, "It turned out to be a 'sin mark'. Thanks to His Majesty's concern, I asked someone to tattoo this for me as a cover."

Ji Kongqing knew about this kind of branding, and both Jing and Zhao countries in the south had this kind of branding.Burning the mark that was originally branded on the animal on the face of the person symbolizes that the person has committed a serious crime. Anyone can torture him like an animal. As long as he does not kill him, he will not take any responsibility. This is almost a more terrible torture than death. , people are constantly struggling in various pains, and it is never possible to get rid of this shameful mark.

"I'm sorry... Actually, I want to ask, is the person who tattooed Mr. Zhou?" Ji Kongqing felt a little sorry for the past that caused others sadness.

"Well, it seems that the surname is indeed Zhou." Ye Jiuwen recalled.

"Then what does he look like? How old is he?" Ji Kongqing asked eagerly.

"His body is full of tattoos, so he can't see his original appearance. Hmm... from the sound of his voice, he must be in his 20s." Ye Jiu asked thoughtfully.

"Over 20 years old? That's not the case..." Ji Kongqing murmured, "But since they have the same surname and are in the same business, some relatives may not necessarily be related. May I ask if you know where this person is now?"

Ye Jiuwen thought for a while before answering: "Your Majesty invited you here. I heard that he opened his business on Danyang North Street."

Hearing that there is hope to unravel the doubts accumulated in her heart for a long time, Ji Kongqing quickly thanked Ye Jiuwen, and walked out of the tent somewhat dazedly.

"Fifth brother, why did you offend Lao Gao? I ran to ask him for a drink, but he actually said that his wine would not be given to someone surnamed Jing! Brother will cry to death when he hears the news." Jing Mingquan sat Complaining at the desk.

"Fortunately, I sneaked out a bottle while he wasn't looking." Jing Mingquan took out a small wine bottle and a white porcelain wine cup from his arms, and poured himself a drink.

Jing Mingrui smelled the aroma of wine and licked his lips, but considering his drinking capacity...he explained helplessly: "He is angry at me for kidnapping his long-term worker, and it will be fine after a while when the anger subsides."

Jing Mingquan asked curiously: "I said fifth brother, I've always wanted to know how you persuaded that elm-headed iron bump?"

Jing Mingrui smiled triumphantly: "I told him that South Korea has been subjugated, and the royal family has been punished. If he wants to pledge allegiance, he can't find anyone to pledge his allegiance to. And the 50 Koreans who were given to Chu State, either If he was sold as a lowly citizen, or he would be used as hard labor, it is estimated that he will live in misery for the rest of his life. However, if he is willing to surrender to Chu, I will show kindness to give these 50 people a way out and let them become civilians , to farm for a living.”

Jing Mingquan asked doubtfully, "Didn't you plan to..."

Jing Mingrui raised an eyebrow at him.

Jing Mingquan suddenly realized, and raised his thumb: "Fifth brother, you are really tall, and you got a favor for nothing! Now I understand why Lao Gao is going to be popular. He seems to have known about your plan a long time ago, right?"

Jing Mingrui sighed: "But he was so angry this time, why did he take it out on you, the lifesaver?"

Jing Mingquan shrugged his shoulders, also expressing his puzzlement.

After drinking another glass of wine, Jing Mingquan asked suddenly: "Why did you hurt the face of Fifth Sister-in-law? I told you, treat beauties with gentleness and don't be so rough." After finishing speaking, he couldn't help laughing obscenely .

Jing Mingrui frowned, Ji Kongqing was indeed handsome, but he didn't care about it.In his heart, Ji Kongqing's status is quite different from that of others, and it has nothing to do with his appearance.

Ji Kongqing is Ji Kongqing.

The unique seasonal sky is clear.

So smart and capable that I like Ji Kongqing.

Ji Kongqing was so strong that he couldn't help admiring him.

When he heard Jing Mingquan calling Ji Kongqing "beauty", he felt a little uncomfortable: "Stinky boy, what are you talking about?"

Jing Mingquan immediately doggedly said, "I'm also thinking about Fifth Brother's lifelong happiness, so I taught you how to be sympathetic and cherish jade. I can't bear that you've been alone all this time, right?"

Jing Mingrui suddenly realized and nodded, and the two laughed together, which seemed to mean that everything was kept silent.

Suddenly, Jing Mingrui's smile faded away.

He put his head close to Jing Mingquan, gently raised his chin with two fingers, and breathed Ruolan into his ear: "Aquan—"

"!"

Jing Mingquan looked at his brother's magnified face, and immediately became stiff all over.

"Brother, thank you for your kindness, but..."

Jing Mingquan suddenly had a very bad premonition.

"If I want to find someone, I will definitely consider you, Aquan first."

The wine in Jing Mingquan's mouth spewed out on his back.

"Fifth... Fifth brother... I... I..." Jing Mingquan was so drunk that he couldn't speak a complete sentence.

Jing Mingrui pointed at his embarrassment with one hand, and patted the table with the other, laughing loudly.

The author has something to say: small theater -->

On a certain day in a certain year, in a small valley...

Jing Mingquan was troubled: "You said my fifth brother wouldn't really like me, right?"

Mysterious man: "I've never seen him before, so how do I know if it's true or not?"

Jing Mingquan: "If someone else dared to set my mind on me, I would definitely beat him to the ground, but if it's Fifth Brother - I have no choice but to..."

Mysterious man: "Yes?"

Jing Mingquan clenched his fists in the shape of a burning universe: "I must make him realize that it is wrong to like men! What is the name of the new oiran from Zhao Guo in Chunfeng Deyilou? I must give her to Fifth Brother!"

A moment later, a gust of cold wind swept over...

The mysterious man said coldly, "Do you think it's wrong to like men?"

Jing Mingquan gasped: "Ah! No, that's not what I meant."

The mysterious man simply turned around and left: "So you are also very familiar with the girl from Chunfeng Deyi Building..."

Jing Mingquan hurriedly chased after him: "Don't go, listen to my explanation—"
