feud

-

The Chu army has been stationed in Yingshui for a month, but there is no movement at all. Han Kuang doesn't know what Chongyan thinks. Conspiracies are often carried out under the surface of calm, and if they drag on, they may lose morale. Han Kuang decided to cooperate with the Xiongnu. It is to understand Chongyan's character better, not to find out his previous combat methods, but to understand a little bit so as not to be caught off guard when facing the enemy in the future.

The Art of War says: If you know yourself and the enemy, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know the enemy but know yourself, you will win and lose once; if you do not know the enemy and yourself, you will be imperiled in every battle.

Now that they have decided to cooperate, it is necessary to deal with each other, but Han Kuang can't guarantee whether the other party can let go of all the past.

Arriving at the Qi Mansion, Han Kuang saw the door was open, looked around, but there was no one inside, and when he entered, there was no servant to guide the way, making it clear that he was not welcome.Han Kuang's subordinates were so angry that they were about to shout, but Han Kuang stopped him. He meant that the other party was kind enough not to turn them away, so he went round and round and finally came to the flower hall. See the first living person other than them after entering the door.

The corner of the man's mouth raised, he saluted them, and said: "I have long admired General Han's name."

Wang Bing recuperated in the mansion for five days, and he was able to walk. Cen Li would visit him every day, but he seemed to be very busy, and left in a hurry after arriving.The only person who could speak was He Zhinian, and it was Wang Bing himself who asked Cen Li to come here.

Wang Bing’s voice has not yet recovered, he can speak but not too loudly, and his voice is so hoarse that he can’t hear clearly. He thought that He Zhinian would rely on him to teach him how to practice calligraphy when he was old, but the strange thing is that He Zhinian changed his normal behavior, Sitting on the ground in a daze all day long, he only spoke a few words.

At noon on the sixth day, although Wang Bing was not an active person, he was really bored after being "locked up" for five days. He went to sit down next to He Zhinian and called him, "Zhi Nian?"

He Zhinian twisted his fingers together, subconsciously moved to the side, stared at the desk in a daze, did not look at him, and nodded to indicate that he heard it.

Wang Bing: "How is your handwriting?"

Although I heard about He Zhinian massacring the village from Gongsun Cao, I also guessed that he was not really illiterate, and might even speak Xiongnu and Jie language, otherwise how would he lead the army to massacre the village?

He Zhinian said dully: "I don't want to read Nalao Shizi's "Book of Filial Piety." He once saw a sentence on it, "Those who do not love their relatives but love others are called immoral", and immediately burned the book.

Wang Bing thought to himself: His parents abandoned him and ran away, which must have caused irreparable damage to Zhinian, and formed a distorted fixed concept. The "Book of Filial Piety" talks about moral loyalty and filial piety.

"Then... how about I teach you the art of war?" Wang Bing took out his last bargaining chip, hoping that He Zhinian would return to his previous appearance.

"It's time to drink the medicine." He Zhinian stood up, went straight out of the room, and closed the door.

Wang Bing sighed silently.

However, the door that had just been closed was pulled open again, and it was Cen Li who came back.

Cen Li sat on He Zhinian's table and said, "What's wrong? You don't look well, have you taken the medicine?"

Wang Bing shook his head and said, "Zhi Nian has changed."

"He almost killed you by mistake, and you are still worried about him. I really don't know whether to say that you are kind or stupid."

Wang Bing recalled what happened after he met He Zhinian, combined with everything that happened that night, he affirmed the thoughts in his heart even more.Said: "He is not in good spirits, and occasionally he will say something scary, but that time it was not his original intention. Cough cough cough..."

Cen Li leaned over to embrace him, to take Wang Bing's back.He didn't care as much about He Zhinian as Wang Bing. He didn't know what kind of person He Zhinian was, and he didn't want to know about it.Just thinking of the daggers stuck in Wang Bing's hands that night made me sad, and I felt worthless for Wang Bing.He said: "Okay, okay, don't talk, I'm going to taste it. The medicine hasn't healed after so long, I'll go and have a look, you wait."

-

In the past, he had finished drinking the medicine at this time. Knowing that the person who delivered the medicine was late, He Zhinian went to Dongchu to see it himself. Sure enough, Ah Bao, who had been in charge of decocting the medicine, was not there, and the whole post of medicine was still there. He Zhinian Zhinian poured the herbs into the medicine jar, added spring water, lit a mulberry firewood, and took a cattail fan.

He Zhinian was the only one in the East Kitchen, and Cen Li walked in. The two looked at each other, as if the masters were fighting to distinguish the superior in an instant.He smelled the smell of medicine, and immediately understood that He Zhinian could not be more relieved to make the medicine, so he turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait!" He Zhinian called him anxiously, wanted to get up, but also cared about the medicine stove, so he had to sit back, twisted his fingers together, glanced around, and said, "His hands, are you alright?"

Cen Li turned his head and took a panoramic view of his stammering appearance, "You are with him every day, you should know better than me."

Although they were together every day, he didn't dare to look at his hand at all, it was stabbed by him.

"I can't write anymore." Cen Li replied simply, originally wanted to scare him with the old mother's words of the doctor, but remembered what Wang Bing said just now, so he held back.

A trace of pain flashed in He Zhinian's eyes, Cen Li reminded him that the fire was too much to slow down, and then left East Kitchen.He Zhinian was left to recall the scene at that time again and again, but he didn't remember that he was stabbed, the memory began when the young master was dying.No... No matter how many times he thinks about it, he still doesn't have a memory. The time after he woke up in the middle of the night and before he stabbed the young master is blank!

After waiting for nearly half an hour, He Zhinian put a thick bowl of medicine on the food table and brought it into Wang Bing's room. He was not surprised to see Cen Li, but when he saw Wang Bing sleeping soundly on the couch, There is an unspeakable heartache.

Cen Li was changing the dressing on his hand, and didn't say hello when he saw that He Zhinian was coming, and continued to carefully apply the medicine and bandage.Packed up the ointment and cloth belt on the case, walked to He Zhinian's side, and whispered emotionlessly, "Come out."

He Zhinian followed behind Cen Li nonchalantly, holding a food table in his hand.

"What are you following me for?" Cen Li intended not to disturb him, and he didn't need to feed him after he fell asleep.He was about to go to the flower hall to discuss something with Zhuang Mingchen, but when he turned around, he didn't know what He Zhinian was doing with him.

He Zhinian let out an "oh" as if waking up from a dream, and turned around.

"Wait." After thinking for a while, Cen Li took out some scraps of silver and put them on the food table, and said, "He has already fallen asleep. If you have nothing to do, go to the market to buy some candied fruit. Er... medicine is bitter, isn't it?"

Zhuang Mingchen is a wealthy businessman. Under his leadership, the West Market has become lively again. No matter how the weather changes, the people still have to live.

"Understood." He Zhinian said blankly, turned and left.

I don't know what this kid has gone through, he suddenly became so obedient, and his temper is not as bad as before.Cen Li was not as careful as Wang Bing, so he naturally didn't think too much about it, he put this matter behind him, and concentrated on discussing the military affairs with Zhuang Mingchen.

On the city wall, Gao Yue wiped off his sweat, sat next to Sun Li, and asked curiously, "What is this?"

Sun Li moved away a little to express his disgust for his smell of sweat, and took the golden key to look left and right, and said: "I don't know, I found it in the enemy building. It looks good, so I kept it. Hey, hurry up." Go take a shower! It stinks!"

"Don't move, show me too!" Gao Yue wanted to shoot the key that diverted Sun Li's attention, but Sun Li raised his hand to dodge it, and the two twisted into a ball, rolling around.

Sun Li yelled loudly: "Let you see, let you see, be more honest!"

Gao Yue turned over and pressed on Sun Li's body, put his hands on top of his head, and sprayed all his breath on his face, like a tiger eating a deer, "You are so precious to that thing? Am I not as good as that broken key..."

"...Get up. I'm going to see the temple...uh..."

Gao Yue doesn't care what he does, just start eating!

"I have long admired General Han's name."

Han Kuang bowed and said politely: "I dare not take it." What he thought in his heart was: I am afraid that this famous name is notorious.

"My Majesty, Mo Wan, invite General Han to take the seat." Mo Wankong led Han Kuang to the table, and sat on the chair himself.Soon a Hu girl served wine, which was kumiss, a special product of the Hu people.

Mo Wankong picked up the wine bottle by himself, drank it all, and said: "General Han, I'm sorry for being stupid, I don't know how to flatter. Since it's cooperation, we might as well talk straight."

Han Kuang raised his hand to signal his subordinates to stay calm and not to touch the kumiss. He smiled and said to Mo Wankong, "You are a straight man, I am the same kind of person as Mo Gong."

Those subordinates couldn't help laughing, but Mo Wankong wasn't angry at all.He raised his voice and said, "Lift up."

Soon, several barbarians worked together to carry a larger case. The case was made of sand. The sand was higher and lower than the plains and highlands.Han Kuang was very familiar with this thing, so he naturally understood what Mo Wankong meant.

Mo Wankong said "please" politely this time, and the two of them attended, holding a small bamboo pole each, and counting troops on the sand table.Mo Wankong is the prime minister of Zhao Guo. He is not good at martial arts and knows the art of war. Before entering the Central Plains, he and Chongyan assisted Khan. The two have since parted ways.

Mo Wankong represented the Chu army, and Han Kuang was naturally the Liang army. With the sand table as the battlefield, the two armies were about to fight, and Han Kuang's men swallowed unconsciously due to the invisible murderous pressure.

Mo Wankong drew an arrow-pointing line with the bamboo pole in his hand, and said: "Chongyan is a military commander, he won't hide in the formation and command after the formation like the formations that the civil servants came up with, what he is best at is the front and arrow formation, Our barbarian cavalry is the main force, and the chief general is at the front, which can greatly improve morale and tear apart the pistols and shields in front of the enemy."

"The rear is weak and can be outflanked." General Han said flatly, drawing a "person" shape, and said: "A wild goose formation, the infantry in the middle mainly holds shields, and the cavalry and archers on both sides wait for work at leisure."

Mo Wankong smiled slightly, seeing Han Kuang's back feeling cold, he said: "That's right, the wild goose formation takes the quality of the cavalry and the commanding ability of the general into consideration, if you are flanked by front and back, you will definitely lose. "

"If so, we can still fight." Han Kuang is not to be outdone. Although he is young, he is strong in vigor, courage, and fearlessness. He is not like some older people who look forward and backward, hesitate, and finally miss the opportunity. , and missed the victory.This is also one of his great strengths.

Round after round of wonderful "battles" were constantly staged on the sand table. The two sides in the command battled wits and courage, the formation was unpredictable, and the situation was changing rapidly.

Wang Bing woke up leisurely, still thinking about what happened before he fell asleep, and patrolled the room for a week, not surprisingly, he didn't see Cen Li, but He Zhinian, an idler, didn't see him, he shouted: "Zhi Nian?"

Are you not there?Wang Bing thought to himself, sat up, put on his coat, fastened his belt, and opened the door to go out.

The glare from outside made him half-close his eyes instinctively, and after he got used to it, he saw the appearance of the courtyard in front of him, which is not an exaggeration to describe it as elegant.

It was Weishi, and nothing happened. Wang Bing walked across the small bridge and sat on the bank of the small artificial pool. The colorful pebbles were very cute. He took off his boots, swung his feet in the water, and tapped his toes after a while. There was a burst of itching, and looking down, it turned out that the goldfish in the pond "sieged" his feet. Wang Bing was thinking about finding some fish food to feed, but unexpectedly saw a person standing at the gate of the courtyard.

"Are you busy with everything?" Wang Bing retracted his legs and was about to stand up. The fish poked their mouths out of the water like babies waiting to be fed. Cen Li moved faster than him and walked to his side. , Those fish jumped up collectively with a few plops, and sank into the pond without being found.

Cen Li: "..." Am I that scary?

Wang Bing couldn't help laughing out loud, and said: "I've been fond of small animals since I was a child, it's because I'm different from ordinary people, don't worry about it."

"Very good." Cen Li thought to himself: I'll make some fish soup later.

Wang Bing thought that Cen Li had something to do with him, and was about to get up and put on his boots, but Cen Li said it was all right, and sat on the cobblestone like him, slapping the water with his bare feet.

"Did something happen?" Wang Bing asked tentatively.

Cen Li swung his legs vigorously childishly, splashing long waves, "It's all right. I'll leave after a while."

Wang Bing: "If there is one, I can help..." In the past, Cen Li would ask him for advice on everything.

"No!" Cen Li interrupted him, "You just stay here."

When he was in Runan, he went to Han Kuang for the information, but was snatched by Liu Jun. A few days ago, he went to the city tower with him to find Gongsun Cao, and then there was the incident of He Zhinian, and his legs were almost crippled.How dare Cen Li let him know anything about the outside world now, he just wished he could be locked up in a golden house.

Wang Bing nodded absent-mindedly, and he felt itching again from his toes, it was the goldfish that had gone and returned, eating his toes again.

Cen Li: "Why do they only eat you and not me?" He became unhappy, and stretched out his feet to drive away those nasty fish, but the goldfish seemed to be eating well, so they ignored it and continued to bite intently Wang's sick feet.

"Maybe...I taste better?" Wang Bing regretted it immediately when he said this, and when he was about to give other explanations, Cen Li had an expression of "Yes, that's right", and said "Mmm", Laughed.

"..." Wang Bing thought to himself why these fish didn't drag me into the water and just drowned.

Cen Li looked at the embarrassed Wang Bing, and felt as if he had been scratched by a paw.If possible, I really want to stay quietly with him like this, that way, even the lush vegetation, flowers, birds, fish and insects will become more interesting.Unfortunately, there are always so many things that I can only think about.

Cen Li raised his head, enjoying the sunshine, closed his eyes comfortably, opened them, and covered Wang Bing's right with his left hand, and said in a low voice: "Wang Qing, there is one thing that I have never dared to tell you. Sad, and even more afraid that you will...hate me."

His voice was getting weaker and weaker, Wang Bing couldn't hear the last sentence, but his intuition and Cen Li's expression told him that this matter must be very important.

Wang Bing comforted him softly: "There is nothing we cannot say between us."

When Cen Li heard his words, his brows frowned even deeper, and he was as careful as a blind man walking on a single-plank bridge, and said in shock: "Last year in Luoyang... I was in the Zhao Guojun camp... I saw you, and later... don't you Thinking about it! I didn’t harm anyone! Really! I have always suspected that Chongyan had a rebellious heart, and because there was no evidence, I secretly followed the army, looking for opportunities to expose him... I... I’m sorry, I shouldn’t bring up these old things, Don't be sad."

Wang Bing said indifferently: "...you should still be the prince at that time, right?"

"You...will you hate me?" Cen Li only dared to look at their overlapping hands, never felt that he was so close to the trial of life and death.

"So that's how it is." Wang Bing smiled, "I never figured it out before, how it happened that you showed up in Sima Ye's shop, so you recognized me a long time ago."

"Yes... I was in the restaurant, and I recognized you the first time I saw you." Cen Li didn't dare to say the next thing.Because he is the only son of Wang Fu, the descendant of the enemy who destroyed his country. When he saw him, the hatred of destroying the top almost made him lose his mind. Hesitating to kill an enemy that takes no effort.

"You must have wanted to kill me at that time, but you didn't. You obviously had many opportunities, but on the contrary, you saved me. Hua Xin, listen to me." Worried about something, he said: "What happened in the past, can forget a little bit, it is the grievances of the parents, it cannot be said that it has nothing to do with us, but we can't let the future go. It is very painful to live in hatred. I am here Follow my heart, I am not afraid, let alone hate you."

The sun is shining, happy fish jumping out of the water, splashing luminous water, pavilions, pavilions, rockeries and green trees, lotus swaying gently in the pool water, full of greenery, everything around is coated with a layer of softness. And the illusory light is so unreal.

Cen Li thought to himself: I don't kill you because everyone is attacking me righteously, I have fallen like this, only you use your body to protect me from the rain.At that time, I forgot that I was actually struggling in the cracks of hatred.

Cen Li leaned over to hug him, protecting his head with his hands, tenderness and fanaticism intertwined.For example, the most loyal believer carefully offered sacrifices, and returned to him the current Cen Li he had bought in the rain with Ichigo.

Lips parted, Cen Li looked at the man with wet eyes and flushed face, and said, "Go in, don't expose yourself to the sun for too long."

"Don't wait for me for dinner." Cen Li pulled his feet back and stood up, helping him to stand up. The two looked at each other, and they both saw each other's reflection in each other's eyes.

The reason why he said this is because every night when Cen Li returned to his room, he would find the food still hot on the table. He was just coping with eating outside, and the food was tasteless. When he came back, he could eat until he was full with Wang Bing. Bing insisted on eating with him, he had something to eat outside, but Wang Bing waited until he came to eat.One time when he came back late, Wang Bing fell asleep lying on the table, without touching any food, which made him feel distressed.

With his support, Wang Bing took a while to get used to it before he stood still, and said: "I have to wait." You are so busy, the number of times you can have meals together is limited, in case I do not wake up one day, I will not wake up. Can give you some good memories.Wang Bing said: "...the meal is delicious if two people eat it."

Cen Li hugged him in his arms, stroked his soft hair, and greedily absorbed the faint medicinal smell from his body, while Wang Bing hugged his waist tightly.

Without a single word, each other has long been engraved in each other's hearts, and there is no need to swear.

The author has something to say:

It's even later today, because the boss has been staring at me all day, I didn't code a word (now I'm kneeling on the keyboard T_T)

Me: My appearance is mediocre, I have no talent and no virtue, the shopkeeper looks at me like this.Could it be that the salary should be raised?

The boss threw me into the sky like a Frisbee.
