The General and His Enemy Your Highness

After resting at Feng County Magistrate's house for a while, Mei Geng wanted to take Chu Ce out for a walk. The purpose of this trip was the flooding of the Zhang River. The Zhang River is a branch of the Huai River. Linzhang is really weird, Mei Geng is a suspicious and cautious person, and he has traveled between life and death once, and is extremely sensitive to some weirdness that has never been revealed.

The two declined County Magistrate Feng's proposal to send someone to follow them, and they only took Qin Gui and Fang Ren, the captain of the Imperial Army along with them, to go out to observe the people's sentiments.

Fang Ren is also the son of a courtier, but his father is an elegant civil servant with a broken mouth, and he lives in the fourth rank of the official. His son is a military commander. He is tall, has a good appearance, and a good temper. He is very good everywhere, but... Straightforward.

In short - silly.

There are not many people in the market, unlike the bustling and bustling city of Yong'an, it is dull and damp, and even the road under your feet smells like a fishy smell. The old and decaying streets and alleys are covered by cumulus clouds, and even the pedestrians passing by have faces. Stiff and cold, walking in a hurry, there is clearly a living person, but this Linzhang seems to be dead.

Boringly depressing.

To see whether a place is rich, you have to look at the shops, but there are very few small roadside stalls, and six out of ten shops are closed, which shows how the people of Linzhang live.

Two handsome young men appeared at the same time, with luxurious clothes and extraordinary manners, followed by two people who looked like guards. Passers-by naturally guessed which young master they were, and looked at them from time to time. The streets and alleys covered with layers of gray add a little vitality, and the invisible fog is more colorful.

Although he wanted to find someone to ask, but before Mei Geng could open his mouth, the pedestrians left in a hurry. After coming down several times, Mei Geng also sensed that something was wrong, and sneered at himself, "What's the matter, God of Plague Avoidance?"

Chu Ce's smile faded a bit, and he said softly, "Then it's hard to say who this plague god is."

The two looked at each other, both startled.

They seem to have found a tacit understanding many years ago. At that time, they were monarchs and ministers, confidants who could understand each other with just a look.

Qin Gui, who was silent, was half a step behind again, feeling a sense of loss in his heart——My lord, are you here to talk about love?Or is it about love?

Fang Ren was confused, and murmured: "What plague god?"

Qin Gui pursed his lips, and cast a look full of pity, thanks to this man who was ordered to protect the prince and His Highness the Fifth Highness, the two were so affectionate and loving along the way, he didn't see why.

Being stupid is also a skill.

Fang Ren, who was inexplicably sympathized with: "..."

Mei Geng had already taken off the long robe embroidered with python patterns, and changed into normal clothes, but he and Chu Ce stood together, the handsome and handsome two were conspicuous enough, not to mention the guards behind them were also good-looking talents, but after wandering around for a long time, nothing but Knowing that Linzhang is poor, I didn't find anything else.

King Xiping was still alive and well, but His Highness the Fifth Highness looked a little sluggish, even those clear eyes seemed to have lost their spirits, like eggplants beaten by frost, with their heads drooping.

Mei Geng didn't care about anything else, so he put his arms around the little prince's shoulders, and leaned down to care: "Tired?"

Chu Ce paused. He was already a light sleeper, and he hardly slept for long when he was on the road. He didn't eat much, so he was inevitably tired. Now he couldn't hide it, so he had no choice but to nod.

"Then go back to Magistrate Feng's house and rest."

Mei Geng made a decisive decision, and wanted to take the little prince back to take a nap. Suddenly, he heard some messy noises approaching, but he still couldn't tell them apart. A brutal murderous intent erupted from within.

But when he saw the person rushing over, his killing intent suddenly turned into astonishment.

It was a man, skinny, wearing loose old clothes, unkempt, muttering crazily, his steps were messy but fast, he appeared in front of his eyes almost in the blink of an eye, and disappeared like a gust of wind.

...that's not human speed at all.

"Qin Gui, chase after him!"

Before Mei Geng's voice fell, Qin Gui had already picked up his sword and chased after him, his body swift as lightning.

"What...a person?" Mei Geng was startled, and replaced the thing in his mouth with a person. From the time he realized something was wrong to the moment he embraced Chu Ce, it happened in the blink of an eye, but he could barely protect Chu Ce.

Chu Ce hesitated for a moment before realizing what happened just now. He raised his head and asked incredulously, "...What is that?"

Mei Geng: "..."

What a coincidence, I also want to ask, I also want to know.

They looked at each other in blank dismay, and were speechless.

Fang Ren, who was stunned by the accident for a long time, suddenly came back to his senses, and raised his knife to chase after him. Mei Geng was speechless, and couldn't help asking: "Where do you want to chase?"

Nobody was there.

Fang Ren, who was belatedly aware of it, suddenly froze, showing a crying expression: "...Yes, my lord, where are you going to chase?"

Mei Geng: "..."

Chu Ce: "..."

The two looked at each other again, and Mei Geng signaled with his eyes: What did your father send him for?

Chu Ce seemed to have pondered for a moment, and returned with firm eyes: mascot?

The mascot Fang Ren trembled: "..."

After this commotion, Chu Ce had no choice but to pull himself together no matter how tired he was, but his face was so ugly that King Xiping felt distressed for a while, and he didn't care about the mascot Du Xiao, so he took Chu Ce to a seat at the teahouse beside him and asked The boss asked for a pot of boiling water, and then made a cup of fragrant osmanthus tea for His Royal Highness.

After Lu Zhibei said that he died prematurely, Mei Geng wished he could hold Chu Ce in his palm and take care of him in every aspect, even blowing the hot tea to cool it before trying it again, his movements were incomparably natural.

In the eyes of others, this behavior is too intimate, thinking that the handsome young man is accompanied by a young and beautiful boy, he has dirty thoughts, so that the eyes of the two become contemptuous and contemptuous.

Da Chu is not masculine, and most people still feel that it is against yin and yang.

How could Mei Geng fail to notice those malicious eyes, and just squinted his eyes to look back coldly, when he heard Chu Ce call out softly: "Thank you brother."

The little prince was full of smiles, and with a youthful and gentle personality, he called his brother softly, very affectionately.

"..."

Mei Geng was silent for a moment, his expression was subtly stiff for a moment, and his monstrous anger was completely extinguished by this well-behaved and docile "brother".

As if strangling his throat, he choked for a long time before slowly uttering a word:

"good."

King Xiping pursed his lips and turned his face away, fearing that he would be unable to resist kissing that delicate and handsome face again.

This little boy... is getting cuter and cuter.

I just can't stand it.

At this moment, the annoying sight around him suddenly disappeared - the co-authors were the two brothers.

On the other hand, Fang Ren looked like he had seen a ghost, and he was dumbfounded. He didn't understand how King Xiping became the elder brother of His Highness Fifth Prince.

Could it be that King Xiping is His Majesty's illegitimate son? ?

Or is His Royal Highness the old prince's illegitimate son? ?

The world is so chaotic.

After drinking half a cup of sweet-scented osmanthus tea, Chu Ce's complexion didn't get any better, but he had a slight sense of beauty in his life, and he lowered his eyelashes and said softly, "Who the hell is that just now?"

Reluctantly, should, probably, be regarded as a person.

The owner of the tea shop is a skinny man with a mustache. Hearing this, he immediately smiled and said, "Young master, I don't know. The one just now is the man of Widow Li on the East Street."

Chu Ce and Mei Geng looked at each other—the widow's...man?

"Hahahahaha!" Fang Ren laughed directly, as if hearing the great joy, he wanted to laugh and cry, "Hahaha... no, I said, shopkeeper, what kind of widow's man?"

The store owner was calm and relaxed, not like a slip of the tongue, but pretending to be mysterious: "These guys don't know something. The man from the Li family joined the army, but he died in the line of duty in less than half a year. I didn't send it back, but in the past two days, for some reason, this person just came back like crawling back from a mass grave."

Fang Ren couldn't laugh anymore, the awkward smile froze on his face, mixed with some fear, it looked funny and funny, he stumbled: "That... this, isn't this... a ghost?"

The last two words have vibrato, which shows how frightening people are.

The owner of the shop looked like he was not afraid of anything, and smiled while he was thinking: "Hey, don't be afraid, the guest officer, the villain just said a few words casually, and besides, in this world, ghosts are better than people. "

No one spoke for a while, Fang Ren was so frightened that he couldn't speak clearly, Mei Geng and Chu Ce were silent as if in thought.

Seeming to see their doubts, the shop owner lowered his voice again: "But I don't know what's going on, I was fine when I came back, there is nothing wrong except that I don't like to talk a lot, but there was a row last night. Running around in the streets, Widow Li couldn't find anyone."

As he spoke, he seemed to be sighing, with a bit of compassion, but in the end it was nothing more than gossip.

Soldiers who died in the line of duty, are they alive again?

This is simply fantasy.

Mei Geng suddenly felt a headache, he came here because of the flood, but this soldier who came back from the dead made him a little uneasy, even he was quite startled by the lightning speed just now.

For a moment he thought it was a swift beast.

Ferocious and violent, Mei Geng smelled the same kind of breath from him - he was no different from the one who was crushed by hatred and had no reason.

Not long after, Qin Gui came back with a dead dog in his arms.

The man was strong, with ordinary facial features, but his skin was extremely pale, as if soaked in water, he was clearly awake, his eyes were open, empty and lifeless, if not for the slight rise and fall of the chest cavity, It was completely indistinguishable from a corpse.

Qin Gui threw him on the ground, and he lay on his stomach in a strange posture, his arms were limp and weak, his legs seemed unable to walk, and he remained motionless.

Suddenly——!

He struggled twice like a dying fish, with a hoarse and ugly voice intermittently:

"Go... go home..."

"Let it go... let it go..."

He spoke incoherently, and even his words were blurred. If water was poured on him, he would be a life-threatening water ghost just fished out of the river.
