Heaven is fearless

When the state machinery was in full swing, no one could resist it. Chu Zhang had no news in the city defense camp. It was not until the third day that he got the news that the prince was going to lead the army to the north. The reason for getting the news was still in the city defense camp. Part of the army is going to go north with the prince, and the soldiers who were transferred said it while chatting.

Before the army set off, the chief general was going to offer sacrifices to the gods, so Chu Zhang quietly changed positions with the soldiers of the same battalion and sneaked into the scene of the swearing-in meeting.

He didn't dare to go too far ahead, and stayed far away among the sergeants in the back row, watching the men in light armor and big cloaks on the high platform, black clothes and high crowns scrupulously divination and offering sacrifices, and the surrounding flags fluttered in the wind, counting In the school grounds of ten thousand people, there was a gloomy silence.

"...Bei Rong knocked on the border and slaughtered our people. If we don't stop the enemy for a day, the border will not be peaceful for a day. Liangzhou, Bingzhou, and Youzhou have been lost. Now it is Changzhou that is facing Beibei's iron heels. If we can't defend Changzhou , the next one to face Bei Rong's blade is Yinzhou! It's the capital! Your wives and children will all be butchered and turned into two-legged sheep raised by Bei Rong!"

"God bless my great Wei, I will take you all alone this time, and if you don't flatten the Beirong King City, you will never return it!"

Tens of thousands of soldiers slammed their spears to the ground and shouted sharply: "God bless Wei! Swear to destroy Bei Rong!"

"God bless Wei! Swear to destroy Bei Rong!"

"God bless Wei! Swear to destroy Bei Rong!"

The shouts of tens of thousands of people soared into the sky, shaking the sky and shaking the ground, and the wine with chicken blood was drank in one gulp. Two soldiers on the high platform raised a big flag together, and slowly raised the flag into everyone's eyes , Tenglong stepping on the clouds, looking up, there is a big "Shao" character on the front, which is majestic and majestic. This is the king's flag of the Great Wei, which symbolizes that it is the monarch of the Great Wei who leads the army-the present or the future.This flag is the banner of the Chinese army that they are fighting this time. The place where the big banner is located is the core of the Chinese army and the soul of the entire army.

The young commanders rode fast horses around the field, holding the command flag in their hands. Tens of thousands of people followed the command flag and set off in an orderly manner. Chu Zhang immediately lowered his head and ran out of the school field with the flow of people, and turned back while others were not paying attention. go back.

Shao Tianheng came down from the high platform, and the eunuch serving him took off the heavy dragon pattern cloak for him, and put on a light dark blue cloak to tie it on.

Several guards stood around, Shao Tianheng raised his hand to take the whip, and was about to get on the horse, when he heard a hurried shout from behind: "Your Highness...Your Highness!"

The voice was a little strange, and Shao Tianheng turned his head to look. A school lieutenant in dusty clothes was stopped a few steps away by dedicated guards. Seeing him turn his head, he straightened his back.

"...Chu Zhang?!"

Shao Tianheng's tone couldn't hide his surprise.

It’s not that he made a fuss, Chuzhang was in the city defense camp for the past two years, Shao Tianheng turned into a ghost king and played outside so happily, he almost forgot that there was such a lucky son who wanted him to take care of him, and Law occasionally went back to see Chuzhang, When he came back, he only said a few words about being tall and dark, but Shao Tianheng didn't care.

So this time, it was the first time the two met in several years.

As the law said, Chu Zhang has completely faded away from the youthful youthfulness, the slightly fleshy cheeks have completely lost the softness, the brows and eyes are full of bright and open spirit, and the eyes are as bright as stars. Looking at the dirty messy hair and dusty cheeks, there is a sassy young man with his glass up and his eyes looking up at the blue sky, as bright as a jade tree before the wind.

In contrast, Shao Tianheng is still graceful and elegant, and Lang Yan is unique, but he lacks that vigorous vitality.

"Let him come over."

At the order of the prince, the guards with the crossed halberds immediately pushed away two steps, and the eunuchs beside them also retreated a certain distance wisely, leaving a clean place for the two of them.

"Your Highness! Are you going to the border?" Chu Zhang hurriedly asked what he wanted to know most before he had time to savor the joy of reunion.

"Didn't you hear that? Tell me something, the vanguard army has already left the city." Shao Tianheng's tone was calm, but there was no doubt about it.

Chu Zhang swallowed what he wanted to say, bit his lips for a while, and said softly, "Your Highness, let me go with you!"

Shao Tianheng's hand stroking the horse's back stopped without even the slightest hesitation: "No."

Chu Zhang was in a hurry, and circled around Shao Tianheng: "Your Highness! Let me go! I have practiced martial arts well for the past two years, really! I can do anything!"

"The battle at the border was brutal, and the sword had no eyes. It was not the same as the war you imagined. I can't care about you. If that's all you want to say, then you can go back." Shao Tianheng said indifferently, raised his hand and said To call people.

Chu Zhang grabbed his hand and begged him with a trembling voice: "Your Highness! I don't need you to take care of me. I can protect myself. My life is hard! Please——"

As soon as Shao Tianheng struggled, he couldn't. He frowned slightly and looked at Chu Zhang. His star-like eyes were full of pleading, as if Shao Tianheng's refusal was a poisonous cold blade hanging on his heart. Every word will leave deep scars.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not in good health, what the head of the hospital said that day is still in his ears, Hui Ji will be hurt... I fear that his life will not be long... Bei Rong is coming menacingly, how dare he stay in the capital alone?

What if, what if...

Chu Zhang suppressed the soreness in his throat, tried his best to hold his breath to prevent tears from falling, his whole body was trembling uncontrollably, and he heard a very light and gentle sigh.

"Why are you so big and still look like a child?"

A hand fell on his head, patted the top of his hair like a child, Chu Zhang raised his eyes, and was looking into the other's eyes that were as peaceful as the surface of a lake.

"You stay in the capital and live in peace. If I can't come back, then go back to southern Xinjiang under the guise of a pretense. Shao Tianhuan is a great talent. As long as you occupy southern Xinjiang alone, he can't do anything to you." The prince said lightly what could be called earth-shattering words.

This was the first time he called himself "I" in front of Chu Zhang, his tone was gentle, but what he said was extremely cruel.

Chu Zhang's eyes widened in panic: "I don't...Your Highness, you obviously have this ability, why don't you—"

Before the word "self-reliance" was out of his mouth, Shao Tianheng seemed to have heard his heart, and raised his eyes lightly, his cold and harsh eyes forced Chu Zhang's words back into his mouth.

"Remember, there are some things that you can't do just because you have the ability to do them. Morality is at your fingertips." Shao Tianheng looked at him, "This is the last thing I can teach you, let it go."

Chu Zhang was still holding Shao Tianheng's right hand tightly, his whole body was tense, and suddenly he couldn't restrain his grief: "I, I haven't danced for His Highness yet..."

Probably because he understood that no matter what he said, he could not change Shao Tianheng's decision. Somehow, Chu Zhang popped out this sentence in a wrong way. Maybe he wanted to try to grasp something that could keep this person. Only when he exited did he realize that there were very few things he could grab.

The tears that had been blocked for a long time rolled down in an instant, he tried hard to contain the surging tears, his shoulders twitched, his eyes were red, he was gasping for breath, his voice was full of painful sobs.

Shao Tianheng didn't laugh at him, and raised his sleeve to wipe away his tears. While he was wiping, Chu Zhang was crying. The tears didn't stop, even a dirty face was wiped clean, and Chu Zhang was still crying.

"Oh, why are you really like a little girl?" Shao Tianheng lowered his voice, racking his brains to divert his attention, "Don't cry, Gu Yueyue will write to you, okay?"

Chu Zhang grinned, and the crying in his throat became heavier.

"...Half a month, half a month, right?" Shao Tianheng ceded the land and paid compensation.

Chu Zhang choked and trembled.

"Ten days! Ten days! No less!" Shao Tianheng raised his hands in surrender.

Only then did Chu Zhang show an ugly smile: "Are you talking about ten days?"

Shao Tianheng looked at the man in front of him in a state of embarrassment, and nodded helplessly: "Ten days."

Chu Zhang slowly let go of the hand holding Shao Tianheng's right hand, watched the prince with wide sleeves and high crown get on the horse, cast a last glance at him with the sun behind his back, and then walked away.

The guards also got on their horses and followed the lord away, leaving a thin figure standing in the empty school grounds.

In the raised yellow sand, tears fell from Chu Zhang's dry eyes again. This time he didn't cry out, and even his expression was cold and hard. His eyes changed from the grievance he had just acted coquettishly, and became like a long knife. as indestructible.

The patrolling guard noticed the people in the field, and walked over loudly: "Who is it! Why don't you return to the team for training!"

The man lowered his head and raised his hand twice. When he turned around, the guard couldn't help being stunned, because the man was clearly wearing the uniform of a junior captain, but he had the unspeakable bearing of a big man.

"I'm doing business in the East Palace," the man raised his hand and threw out a token, "Prepare the horse for me."

The guard took a look at the token, and immediately softened his attitude, and said again and again: "Yes! You will wait later!"

Chu Zhang took the led horse, turned on his back, clamped the horse's belly, and drove towards the second prince's other garden.

***

Shao Tianhuan didn't care about Chu Zhang's sudden visit, and only raised his eyebrows in surprise when he said that he wanted to go to the border.

"You're going to the border? The north is in chaos right now. What are you going to do?"

Chu Zhang lowered his head, and with the same timid look, he mustered up his courage and said, "I...I want to go to war."

Shao Tianhuan's eyes widened, he stared at him for a while, then suddenly slapped his thigh and laughed wildly, with tears streaming from the corners of his laughing eyes: "You?! Fighting war? Hahahahahahahaha..."

He laughed for a while, only to feel that the depression that had been clogged in his chest for the past few days was gone, and his tone of voice became much better: "Hey, it's not that I don't want to, the north is really dangerous now, why don't you wait for a while, When the sick man stabilizes the situation, I will ask my father to give me a military rank, and I will take you there with me when the time comes."

This calculation was so shameless and naked, Chu Zhang heard it in his ears, his expression remained unchanged, and he was still stubborn: "Your Highness, when that time comes, what credit will you have to share? I am going north now, how much can I earn?" Make some meritorious deeds, and you will be the one who knows people with your eyes..."

He carefully chose his words, and sent a sentence of good words to the most itchy place in Shao Tianhuan's heart, coaxing the other party's eyes and brows to look smug, and lightly put the teacup: "Okay, since you take the initiative to go to the border , I can't stop you. In this way, you'd better not go to Changzhou, where the war is most urgent, and go to Langya, which is a little behind, it is not dangerous, but there are merits to be obtained."

Shao Tianhuan thought about it, after all, it was also a pawn that could help him bring down Shao Tianheng, and it would be a waste to leave it unused, so he might as well give it a little sweetness.

Chu Zhang didn't care where he was going, as long as he could go to the border, he would always have a way to achieve his goal.

The two looked at each other and smiled with sincerity in their eyes.

The author has something to say:

Chu Zhang: Although I love to cry, but I am a tough guy, you believe me.

Shao Tianheng: [raises wet sleeves]

Chu Zhang: ...
