When he saw the jade pendant handed over, He Jun had just finished military training, his forehead was sweating, and he was wiping his hands with a cloth towel, his image was not dignified.

The guard of Huai Qiu City bowed his body and leaned over beside him in a very humble gesture.

He didn't dare to say that he had worked hard for several hours, and he didn't dare to make a definite conclusion on what he wanted to say. He just described the owner of the jade pendant carefully and fearfully for the person who left the order.

"...Yes, black hair in ink clothes, looks very gentle, I don't know where he came from, suddenly said that he was going to enter the city, but was stopped at the gate of the city..."

As he spoke, when he reached a certain word, He Jun lowered his eyes and paused slightly as he wiped his fingers.

The general's tone was not good: "...you stopped him?"

In a word, cold sweat broke out from the garrison general. He thought of the vicious reputation of this great general, his heart almost twitched, and he hurriedly shook his head.

He bowed a little lower, and carefully explained: "No, how could it be, I saw it when I got down, and I remembered your order at that time, and hurriedly invited people in."

When he said this, there was an obvious sense of gratitude on his face, and he looked very sincere.

He couldn't help being insincere, if it was really that person and he hadn't shown up for so many years, and if something happened to him when he showed up, he wouldn't have enough heads to chop off.

Speaking of this, it involves a past event, and it is also a secret that is tacitly shared by all the officials guarding the city in the entire Great Chu border.

After so many years, few people actually know that Gu Xiang's death caused a lot of trouble in the city, and it was actually controversial.

At that time, the imperial capital was in crisis and the noble concubine was in chaos. Gu He tried his best to protect the crown prince's position, but he was deeply imprisoned and was besieged and killed by the noble concubine.

All this happened very quickly, but in just half a month, even the little prince who was far away in the frontier had not had time to receive the letter from the imperial capital.

Everyone then told him that Xiang Gu was gone, he was completely dead under the siege of the imperial concubine, and there was absolutely no possibility of him surviving.

But it also caused the noble concubine's vitality to be severely injured, and she could no longer become a threat to Chu Heng.

Regarding these statements, His Majesty today, and the little prince back then, did not believe a single word. Regardless of persuasion, he rushed back to the imperial capital in a hurry, dressed in wind, frost and morning dew.

But hastily discovered that no matter what, no matter whether he was alive or dead, he didn't even know what happened, so he couldn't find Gu Xiang, even if it was a corpse.

At the beginning, everyone thought that the imperial concubine was acting as a hindrance and deliberately hid him, but later on, Chu Heng was in power, above ten thousand people, and no suspicious person was spared.

Only then did I realize that Gu Xiang, who would touch his head with a smile, lecture him on a collection of scriptures and histories in a gentle voice, and pave the way for him with his own hands, is really gone.

Some people hesitated to say that maybe it was Gu Xiang who supported His Majesty with one hand back then, which caused the imperial concubine to hate him so much that she was unwilling to let him go even after death, leaving him ashamed, so there was no trace of him.

Before he finished speaking, he was chopped off by the red-eyed little Majesty with a sword.

Since then, no one has dared to bring up the subject.

To be honest, as Chu Heng's right-hand man, it is rare for someone who has more contact with Gu Xiang. For this statement, He Jun and Cheng Shu didn't believe it at first.

Even though they had only been guided by Gu Xiangwenyan, they didn't know people as well as His Majesty.

But Gu Xiang, although he is good-tempered and reasonable, is by no means someone who will sit still and wait for death.

No matter what, he shouldn't have brought himself into such a desperate situation.

Therefore, for them, it was a good thing that they couldn't find the body, at least it proved that there was still a possibility for people to be alive.

But after so many years, even Cheng Shu and He Jun, who comforted Chu Heng with this set of words, could no longer say such words with certainty.

Only His Majesty himself never doubted it from beginning to end.

Although he didn't say it, whether it was Cheng Shu who was guarding for him in the imperial capital, or He Jun who followed him all the time and fought with him at the border.

It is all too clear that their Majesty, who conquered thousands of miles of land, is not what the licking dogs boasted, he is brave, brave, and a peerless king.

This was just because he was trying to find someone who might never come back, and he was worried that if Gu Xiang came back one day, he would be wronged in a place that he couldn't care about.

Just like when he was far away at the border, ignorant of the disaster in the imperial capital, and then lost an important person, he will never experience such a sense of powerlessness in his life.

Because of this, He Jun always thought that the reason why His Majesty didn't return to the Imperial Capital these years was that on the one hand, he didn't want to set foot in that place again, and on the other hand, he wanted to use the reason of the war to vent his depression.

He didn't expect that the person would really come back, nor did he expect that after all these years, he would really wait for it.

The general sighed, unable to express the complicated feeling in his heart at this moment, lowered his eyes, and looked at the jade pendant in front of him again.

It was a piece of jade pendant of excellent texture, the whole body was transparent, like a streamer, one could tell it was not ordinary at a glance, and the carving was meticulous, it must have been taken from the hands of a famous craftsman.

It's just that there are probably not many handed down works of this famous craftsman, and there are no similar works circulated on the market, so it is difficult to identify the name.

However, He Jun couldn't be more clear about who this person was, because another piece of jade pendant that was very similar to this jade pendant, but with some flaws, hung on this person day and night, like a jewel like a treasure, and it was hard to let go of it. Indistinguishable.

Today's son, whose name is Heng, means beautiful jade, and is willing to give beautiful jade to his sweetheart.

Although the sweetheart does not know.

He Jun couldn't understand better than that, in the Taixue back then, the little prince dressed in black was cautious, but pretended to be unintentional, and hung this jade pendant carved by himself on the husband's body, what it represented.

Even though Mr. is dull, even though he never said it.

But now, this jade pendant, which had disappeared for almost seven years, and which the little prince had missed for seven years, and even wandered around looking for it all day, finally came back.

He Jun's throat swallowed almost uncontrollably.

He frowned, staring intently at the fearful general in front of him, not missing his slightest movement.

At the same time, he took the jade pendant and inadvertently asked, "How did you get this jade pendant?"

If it is said that being able to recognize people depends on the portrait provided by His Majesty today, then such personal items as jade pendants cannot be easily obtained.

Thinking of certain possibilities, He Jun's complexion instantly became ugly.

The general guarding the city lowered his head, did not notice his expression, and replied carefully in a low and slow voice: "Mr. has entered the city, I dare not neglect, and sent someone to follow from afar."

"Unexpectedly, the little thief was rampant. I... I waited... I didn't dare to disturb the gentleman, so I only recovered the jade pendant."

Perhaps because he was afraid of being held accountable, when he said this, the garrison general hesitated, and what he said was not clear, but He Jun understood what he meant in an instant after listening.

The garrison of this dynasty treats people with the characteristics of Gu Xiang kindly.

The original intention of this is to find people to avoid accidental injury, but in order to prevent people who are interested in fishing in troubled waters and encounter unknown people, they usually send people to investigate.

Like this Huaiqiu city guard, I'm afraid at the beginning, I just felt that there was a resemblance, but because I was not sure, I just sent someone to check on it routinely.

It wasn't until Mr. Gu was met by a thief, he got the jade pendant and looked at the familiar style, that he was really sure about something, became panicked, and rushed to the Chu army camp to report the news.

After all, the jade pendant that His Majesty always wears, and his cold and un-mortal temperament, have always been things that people like to talk about in private, and it is not a secret.

Hearing this, He Jun felt relieved. After all, if Gu Xiang was caught by a thief, everyone would at most take His Majesty's knife a few times, but anyway, they had fulfilled their duties, and His Majesty would not be too angry.

But then, in the next second, Huai Qiu's defensive words gave him a chill in his heart.

"General, I see that Mr.'s health doesn't seem to be very good..."

He Jun held his breath, and when he heard this, he actually believed it in his heart.

Gu Ping has been on good terms with His Majesty for so many years, if he is still alive, why didn't he show up?Even if it's just a meeting, let people know his situation.

He did so, until now, it seems that there is only one reason that can explain it.

It's not that he doesn't want to, it's that he can't do it.

What can make a person disappear for seven years without being noticed?Apart from deliberately concealing it, there seems to be only one explanation, that is, he lost the ability to act.

Maybe he was injured in the chaotic situation that year, maybe he was poisoned, in short, it was a very serious accident, which made him disappear for seven years before he could reappear.

General He licked his lips. Thinking of this possibility, he suddenly felt a bit bitter on the tip of his tongue. He looked at the trembling defense in front of him again, and couldn't help being a little annoyed.

What the hell, when it comes to Gu Xiang's matter, you know that if you are intimidated, will dad not be intimidated?

But dad will never admit cowardice in front of you. Thinking of this, General He breathed a sigh of relief, and his face calmed down again.

He took the jade pendant and strode out, thinking in his heart that the business was important, and when he stepped out the door, he slapped his chest hard.

What the hell, it's all about embarrassment.

Because of his numerous achievements in battle and his fierce reputation, the rumors of Chu Wangheng in the public are not gentle.

But in fact, this young emperor's appearance is not as vicious as people think, on the contrary, he has an extremely handsome face that hardly resembles the color of the world.

When He Jun entered the door, he saw the emperor in black, holding a pen, sitting by the desk.

He pursed his lips, straightened his back, and wrote something stroke by stroke. It was obviously a bitter and cold place full of wind and sand, but he forcibly gave him the taste of a beautiful water town.

And this hard-won sense of peace, like the wind, softened little by little the lingering ferocity on his body.

At this time, Chu Heng looked extremely harmless, even from his cold and indifferent lines, one could unexpectedly glimpse a softness.

But this does not mean that he is really a harmless person. He Jun has been a gentleman and a friend for so many years, and He Jun knows him well, not to mention six points.

He naturally knew that the behavior of a beast like His Majesty learning how to do homework from a good baby was only a little influenced by Gu Ping's years.

And for this weak and thin thing that reminds him of the cherished person, he is always willing to try it, although now there is no one to supervise him to see if his handwriting is good.

At this time, he always seemed to be very talkative, but He Jun knew that it was best not to disturb him at this time.

Since the beast is willing to put a layer of shackles on itself, it will not be willing to be destroyed by someone.

He Jun stopped talking, but stepped back a little winkingly, and looked at His Majesty, who was always downcast and practicing calligraphy stroke by stroke.

No need to look, He Jun knew that it must be Gu Xiang's words.

Your majesty is too aggressive, but Gu Xiang is gentle. His majesty was disliked by the late emperor. Only Gu Xiang from back then would pat his head and tell him: Ah Heng is very good like this.

But in Gu Xiang's eyes, A-Heng, who has everything wrong, now has to rely on copying the gentle handwriting left by him over and over again, reminding himself over and over again, not to go crazy.

He Jun couldn't help but let out a low sigh.

He went to see Chu Heng before the case, and saw that his actions were meticulous, serious and careful.

It's just that he encountered some unexpected accident in the middle, which made his cold face tense, and it was rare to reveal a sense of helplessness and obedience.

He Jun rubbed his fingers, he became curious for a moment, paused, couldn't help but to take a closer look, only to find that his strength was not well controlled, he was a little too strong, and almost tore the paper.

General He endured it, lowered his head, and did not dare to express any opinions, and saw that the silent Majesty had already put down his pen.

When he looked up, he saw a pair of cold dark gray eyes with a frosty texture, without wave or light.

He Jun's heart skipped a beat.

King Chu's voice was as cold as his frosty eyes. Maybe it was because he spoke slowly when facing familiar people, and seemed to be less distant and closer.

He called He Jun's name, then stopped talking, just nodded slightly, waiting for him to continue.

He Jun understood how important what he was about to say was, so he didn't dare to delay, so he took a step forward and presented the jade pendant.

He relayed what the garrison officer said in a low voice, not daring to make a single mistake.

Chu Heng pursed his lips and listened. After listening, his expression was calm, and he seemed to have no reaction, which was far from the appearance He Jun imagined.

General He couldn't see the veined fingers under his sleeves, and was puzzled. After a while, he saw His Majesty standing up slowly.

His tone was slightly hoarse, and he looked as immobile as a mountain. He lowered his eyelids, paused, and then ordered lightly: "Say it again."

His appearance was extremely cold, as if he didn't care, and after he finished speaking, he remained silent with a cold face.

He Jun couldn't understand, so he scratched his head, so he had to repeat every word, and just as he finished speaking, he heard His Majesty's deep and cold voice, as if crawling out of hell.

"Say it again."

There were so many things contained in this sound, He Jun's scalp felt numb when he heard it, his legs straightened instantly, he blinked, his head was even dazed, and then he carefully repeated it to others.

After he finished speaking, he was both funny and sad, and was ready to say it again, so he saw Chu Hengyun give him a calm look, and walked out of the tent, not knowing what to do.

He Jun shook his head, pinched the bridge of his nose, couldn't understand what Chu Heng was doing for a while, and sighed.

Suddenly, he saw a certain direction of the table, lowered his eyes, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

——Their Majesty, they clearly displayed an appearance that couldn't be more plain and calm.

When the person left, he saw that the good pen on the table had been squeezed into two by someone at some point.
