The General and His Enemy Your Highness

Since the beginning of winter, Linzhang has been peaceful and peaceful, but there is news from Yong'an that Mei Geng and Chu Ce should return to court.

Mei Geng wrote a pen and played, expressing earnestly that His Royal Highness was seriously ill and could not move. It was not easy to travel in winter, and it happened that the construction of the canal started in spring.

It was another winter snow, paved with a vast expanse of white land, cold snow and plum blossoms, which is a beautiful scenery.

His Highness the Fifth Prince who was seriously ill was wearing a pear-white fur-collared cloak, making tea and talking and laughing with Mrs. Xin under the plum tree, his complexion was rosy and his complexion was excellent.

"Look, Your Highness." Lord Xin took out a thin book from his sleeve, and stuffed it mysteriously, "Your Majesty has read it, this is a good book!"

Chu Ce hesitated for a moment, feeling a little bit reluctant, but didn't dare to take it, and sighed, "King Xiping won't allow it."

Lord Xin put the thin book into the wide sleeve of His Royal Highness with a smile, and gave him a look of "If you don't tell me, I won't tell you", and then changed the subject, "Your Highness, digging a canal is a waste of money and people, why is this so? ?”

Seeing him talking about serious business, Chu Ce pulled back his sleeves without any trace, put away his notebook, lowered his eyes and sighed: "Because of the flood, it is imperative to dig a canal, and if the canal is opened, it can be used for trade routes It is beneficial to the Great Chu. As for the saying that laboring the people and wasting money, Mei Geng will pay the laborers money, and it can also solve the problem of food and clothing for some poor people."

Xin Zhi's heart trembled slightly, he was just mentioning it casually, but he didn't expect that the five princes could understand it at a young age, and became interested for a while, so he said with a smile: "Your Highness is right, the Zhanghe River is flooded this time. Fortunately, there was no plague, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

The two talked about state affairs from the canal, and after the detailed talk, they deliberately tried to probe, and their words were like chess, you come and go, it's like a game.

Xin Zhi became more and more frightened, he was tricked by Chu Ce without knowing it, but he didn't gain the upper hand in the slightest.

When Mei Geng came, he saw Chu Ce and Xin Zhi having a happy conversation, raising a cup and drinking tea. He stepped closer and smelled a little bit of spicy and sweet smell, then he took a closer look, and saw white snow and red plums, boiled with ginger and jujube tea.

Very unlucky.

Before he could speak, something was thrown from the ground. King Xiping raised his hand to catch it, and there was a dark red date in his palm.

Watching His Highness the Fifth Prince smash King Xiping with a date, Xin Zhi was startled, his smile remained the same, but his eyes were a little more suspicious.

He had known that King Xiping had a close personal relationship with His Highness the Fifth Prince, but Xin Zhi felt that the relationship between the two was obscure.

"What is this for?" Mei Geng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and raised the red dates in his hand.

"Would you like to eat?" Chu Ce took a small sip of ginger jujube tea, secretly pulled back his sleeves, and said as a matter of course: "Tianhan, drink this to warm up."

"Knowing that Tianhan is still running outside." Mei Geng put the red dates back on the small table, glanced at the sleeves of the little guy's cover, stretched out his hand, "Bring here."

Chu Ce paused with the hand holding the teacup, pursed his lips, succumbed to King Xiping's majesty, and honestly handed in Xinde's unread words.

King Xiping took it and rolled it up, and smacked His Royal Highness hard on the forehead, with the intention of hating iron but not steel, "Little guy, I don't have a long memory."

Chu Ce glanced at him, shrank back into the fox fur, "Master Xin gave it to me, but it's disrespectful."

Mr. Xin, who was always ignored and did not dare to speak out, wanted to cry but had no tears. At first, he thought melancholy, you two still know that I am here?And I couldn't help thinking, Fifth Highness, you are too disrespectful, just about to say something, but heard the voice like a cold spring came first: "Master Xin, Fifth Highness is still young, you shouldn't play around and lose your ambition."

"Yes, yes, yes." Xin Zhi responded again and again, laughing rather forcedly, "Hey, I have something to do in the lower office, so I will leave first."

Mr. Xin slipped away, and before he left, he glanced back, his pupils flickered.

The incomparably handsome King Xiping was leaning over to kiss the young Highness on the forehead. Chu Ce smiled gently on his lips, and put his arms around King Xiping's neck. The two were very intimate.

Xin Zhi's heart was filled with turmoil, and he realized that there was such a relationship between the two, so he hurried away immediately, cold sweat broke out from his tightly clenched palms.

"He's seen it all." Chu Ce leaned into his arms, and glanced in the direction where Master Xin left.

Mei Geng dug the man out of the fox fur, wrapped him in his black cloak and hugged him horizontally, lowered his eyes indifferently, "It's okay, I'll see it when I see it, let him envy it."

Chu Ce pursed his lips, thinking about it. I'm afraid Master Xin is really envious. After all, most of the words he sent were about the unrivaled love between men.

Mei Geng carried the man back to Nuan Pavilion, put him lightly on the soft couch, and said softly, "The construction of the canal will have to wait until after the spring flood next year, you and I won't be able to return to Yong'an in a short time, let the crown prince fight Luo Wang. "

Chu Ce still had an empty cup in his hand, and slipped it into Mei Geng's hand, "It would be best if they can drag it until the canal is completed."

"Let them go." Mei Geng pinched the tip of the little guy's nose, "If you are idle and bored, how about asking a gentleman to teach you how to learn essays tomorrow?"

Chu Ce choked, put his finger on the man's wrist, pushed it away gently, and then shook his head.

"Then, practice inner strength with me?" Mei Geng simply sat on the other side, "Practicing inner strength will definitely not work, the age is not suitable, it is only for physical fitness."

His Highness lowered his eyes as if thinking, and after a long while, he nodded reluctantly.

With Xinxian County Magistrate in charge of Linzhang County, the construction of the canal has been decided, and the construction of the canal can only be started when the winter turns to the spring solstice. A few days ago, King Xiping, who was too busy to care about his head and tail, finally had a leisure time, so he stared at the canal all day long. With His Highness the Fifth Prince reviewing books and writing essays to cultivate inner skills and mental methods.

Since ancient times, there is no time in the mountains, and the white horses pass by, suddenly, and the New Year's Eve is the end of the year in the blink of an eye.

Mei Geng had a filial piety, and the other courtyard did not display any lights. When night fell, someone came to the door wearing frost and snow.

The man was still in the yard, so he shouted loudly: "Mei Geng! King Xiping! Hey, it's snowing on the New Year's Eve, what the hell, I'm here, my lord—hey! Who are you! You know Who is the young master?! Get out of the way for the young master! Let Mei Geng come out!"

Mei Geng knew who he was when he heard the sound, and came out slowly, leaning against the door frame with his shoulders folded, and looked into the courtyard with a smile on his face.

The person who led the horse in was wearing a gray cloak covered with frost and snow, and was confronting the hidden guard with a loud voice, angrily: "Get out of the way for the young master! The young master is the second young master of the Pingguo government! Mei Geng——Mei Geng, take care of your people!"

"Go down." A pleasant voice that sounded like broken jade from a cold spring came, and the hidden guards immediately turned around and saluted, and the treacherous disappeared in place and returned to the dark place.

The young man in the gray cloak raised his head, revealing his coquettish fox eyes, and started crying again in an instant: "Mei Geng! The young master came to look for you from a thousand miles away, look at how your people stopped you!" I won't let me in—"

The courtyard was full of howling sounds, Xin Zhi who hurried in was silent, Qin Gui and Fang Ren who came after hearing the sound saw it clearly, everyone had different expressions for a moment, and it was difficult to describe their expressions.

Mei Geng couldn't bear to look directly at the silly son in the court, so he scolded in a cold voice: "Shut up."

"..." Feng Sunan blinked, and resolutely kept silent.

The world is so quiet.

Mei Geng turned indifferently and went back to the room.

Second Young Master Feng who came from afar stood in the courtyard, pitifully weak and innocent.

After a while, a warm voice came from the room: "It's snowy night and it's cold in the sky, everyone, come in."

Feng Sunan was almost moved to tears, and immediately went in happily.

A charcoal basin was burning in the room, and it was as warm as early summer. The Fifth Highness, with warm eyebrows and eyes, was wearing a red brocade robe, with golden threads outlining cloud patterns, which was very similar to the red birch-colored wide-sleeved gown worn by Mei Geng. It was as bright as a flame, while Chu Ce was as gentle as the sun.

As soon as Feng Sunan entered the door, he was full of vigor and vitality, and he wanted to go to Chu Ce's side with a smile, "Your Highness—it's been a long time, I heard that you are sick again, but I'm worried about the dead brother—ahhhh!! Mei Geng, what are you doing! "

Prince Xiping dragged Feng Sunan's cloak expressionlessly and dragged him back. He waved his sleeves in distaste and said angrily, "It's cold all over your body, stay away from Xiao Ce."

After he took off the cloak that was still covered with frost and snow, everyone sat down, before Mei Geng could ask, Feng Sunan laughed and said: "Mei Geng, I have come all the way to accompany you on New Year's Eve, young master, you have to treat me to a good meal of."

Mei Geng closed his eyes, squinted his eyes and snorted, "Tell me, what happened?"

Xin Zhi: "..."

Fang Ren: "..."

Qin Gui nodded towards the two of them, his face was heavy, Feng Er Shao's temperament, if he hadn't caused trouble in Yong'an, how could he have traveled a long distance to Linzhang?

Feng Sunan coughed lightly, the fox eyes narrowed into slits guiltily, and he hesitated: "This... this is Chinese New Year's Eve, cough, Mei Geng, I will hurry over here day and night, you can't just give me nothing to eat .”

"You? Hurry up?" Mei Geng looked him up and down, then slapped the table suddenly, revealing the aura of a front-running general in the past, and curled his lips coldly, "I'm afraid I'll ride the chariot all the way to get here comfortably."

There are no tigers in Jiangmen, but Feng Sunan is the cat among the tigers. Although he has learned boxing and kicking for a few years, his kung fu is not bad, but he has been favored since childhood, so how could he travel hard.

Having been punctured, Feng Sunan drooped his head, and finally explained the matter clearly.

He doesn't like officialdom, but he knows how to do business, so he set up a few shops in Yong'an, Chaonanfang is one of them, and he has his eyes on the business in Nanxiang. Who would have thought that ever since the Zuixiang Pavilion was opened, a lot of people took care of the business under the pretext of the Pingguo Mansion, but something happened soon after.

Several imperial court officials died tragically in Zuixiang Pavilion one after another. They died extremely strangely. There were no fatal injuries, but broken limbs, tongue and jaw, and a wound the size of a pinhole on their neck. They bled to death.

Five people died one after the other, Chu Hengzhi was so angry that he ordered a thorough investigation, and found the Duke Pingguo's mansion. Feng Sunan was stunned by his father's hand knife, and when he woke up, he had already left the city in a carriage However, there was only a letter from his elder brother Feng Chengyu on the carriage, asking him to go to Linzhang and be temporarily protected by King Xiping.

Mei Geng's ears hurt when he heard this, and his face was frighteningly gloomy.

He is very familiar with this method. He thought that there would be no more in this life, but he didn't want someone to die because of it.
