The General and the Mountain God

After Du Heng returned to Beijing, he accepted the reward. The emperor was overjoyed and wanted to give him a marquis mansion, but he politely refused.

The congratulatory gifts from all the officials were continuously sent to the general's mansion.

Du Heng didn't look at most of them, and sent the servants to the warehouse directly after registering.

That day Du Heng was practicing swordsmanship, when a servant ran over holding a red box.

Du Heng waved his hand to let him take it away, and continued to practice the sword. The boy said, "This is from Prince Mu. It is said to be a great gift, and Lord Hou must open it himself."

Du Heng was shocked when he heard the words, took it, and asked the boy to step back, staring at the red box in his hand, and did not move.

After a long time, Du Heng opened the box and couldn't help but curl his lips.

A short arrow lay inside.

"Congratulations to the young master." Mu Xu jumped off the roof and walked to Du Heng with a smile.

"Thank you, Lord Mountain God." Du Heng looked at him and smiled.

"Do you still like this great gift from the Immortal?"

"like."

"Do you still like this fairy when you see me?"

"like."

"Benxian, do you like it?"

"like."

Du Heng answered without any hesitation, and Mu Xu smiled.

"You said see you in the capital, but I thought I could see the mountain god when I returned to the capital." Du Heng said.

"I am afraid that you will get angry, so I have been hiding on the roof."

"angry?"

"The Immortal Qi is concealing his identity," Mu Xu said, "If the little prince's qi is not going well, I am a mortal, and I can't stand the sharp arrows of the young prince."

Du Heng smiled, "I'm not angry."

"Then why is the young master so sullen these days? Fenghou is not happy to see him?"

"You know I've always wanted to see you." Du Heng looked at him.

"I am wrong." Mu Xu smiled happily.

Du Heng also laughed.

After a long time, Du Heng said again: "How did the Lord Mountain God become the little Prince Mu?"

"You say the world is fun, so this fairy will come."

"So that's how it is." After a pause, Du Heng went on to say, "Master Mountain God didn't come in vain, did he?"

"It's not in vain." Mu Xu laughed a few times.

Well worth the trip because you're here.

Seeing Du Heng again this time, Mu Xu felt an indescribable emotion in his heart, which was completely different from the mood he had with Du Heng two years ago.

Du Heng's stature has increased a lot, and the outline of his facial features has become clearer.

Du Heng opened his eyes.

The longer the more handsome.

Two years ago I wanted to pinch, but now I want to touch.

It seems that there is more than this difference.

When Du Heng said he liked it for the last time, his little human heart beat uncontrollably again, and it took a while to calm down.

This feeling is a little uncomfortable, but he does not reject it.

The scary thing is, and a little bit, to look forward to.

"You are, you have a spring heart? Stupid God." Ari looked at Mu Xu, a little surprised.

"Spring is sprouting? What do you mean?" Mu Xu didn't understand.

"It means falling in love with someone." Ari said.

"Like someone?" Mu Xu thought for a while, "Du Heng?"

"Ah."

"I have always liked Du Heng." Mu Xu said naturally.

"Like with love." Ari added.

"...Love?" Mu Xu was thoughtful.

"Ah."

"You mean," Mu Xu suddenly came to his senses, and raised his tone, "Is this immortal in love with Du Heng?"

Ari looked at him quietly for a while, then nodded: "Yes."

"I have to go and tell Du Heng."

......

Mu Xu happily left without giving Ahri a chance to stop him.

Ah Li looked at Mu Xu's leaving figure and sighed.

Mountain gods and mortals, there will be no results.

What should come will always come, let him go.

After a while, Mu Xu came back listlessly.

"Rejected?" Ari asked.

Mu Xu was listless: "Du Heng is gone."

"gone?"

"Well, it's been a day."

"Where did you go?" Looking at Mu Xu who was a little disappointed, Ari was rarely curious.

"Mobei."

"It hasn't been ten days since he came back. Is there anything urgent?"

"I heard that General Du was injured."

"Oh. I guess the injury is not serious," Ari answered casually, "I left without saying hello."

"That's right!" Mu Xu suddenly realized, and regained his energy, "General Du must be seriously injured, I have to go and see."

Before he finished speaking, he carried Ari into his arms. Before Ari could struggle, the two arrived in Mobei.

Before his feet hit the ground, a chill hit, and Mu Xu's blood surged, but he couldn't hold it down for a while, and spit out a mouthful of blood, which shocked Ari.

Seeing the trembling Mu Xu, Ari jumped down and turned into a human to support him: "Cold?" While speaking, he changed into a fox fur and draped over him.

"Well, it's all right." Mu Xu smiled at Ari, suppressed his discomfort, and entered General Du's room with a hidden body.

Ari wanted to say something, but didn't say it, and followed into the room.

General Du was lying on the bed, seemingly unconscious for many days.

The fatal wound was in the chest.knife wound.The wound was deep, but it didn't hurt the vitals, so he didn't wake up for a long time.

After checking, General Du must have been poisoned.

Mu Xu immediately tried to clean up the toxins for him, but Ari stopped him: "If you are exhausted, I won't collect your body for you."

"Master, don't worry, I am immortal." Mu Xu smiled at him.

Ah Li paused for a while, then let go of his hand, and Mu Xu used his skills to clean up the toxins in General Du's body.

Then he coughed up blood unbelievably, lay down tired, and was packed by Ari and brought back to Biannan.

Du Heng arrived in Mobei two days later.

"Give me a reason." Du Heng stared at the people in the prison with a slightly tired expression.

The people in the prison did not speak.

Du Heng continued with a hoarse voice: "For more than ten years, my father has treated you as his own, has been cultivating you carefully, and recommended you to the emperor many times. Uncle Ming... Uncle Ming who was killed by you", Du Heng said Suppressing his anger at this point, his voice trembled slightly: "I have treated you well, and I have been defending you everywhere. I don't understand why you did this."

When the people in the prison heard the word "Uncle Ming", their expressions darkened, but they still didn't speak.

Du Heng grabbed the man by the collar and made him look at him, his voice was not loud but full of anger: "You hurt my father, kill Uncle Ming, Brother Yunzhi", Du Heng raised his voice at the last sentence, and Jiang Yunzhi Throwing to the wall: "Can I still call you Brother Yunzhi!"

Jiang Yunzhi still didn't speak.

After a pause, Du Heng said again: "What do you mean by quietly taking out the antidote? Do you want to make amends?"

"I said," Jiang Yunzhi finally said, "I won't do despicable things like poisoning."

"Okay, I believe you." Du Heng said, "Why did you assassinate my father?"

Jiang Yunzhi looked at Du Heng, and said slowly, "Avenge my father."

The eyes are peaceful, without hatred.

In the battle to pacify Monan 18 years ago, Du Heng's father, Du Guang, served as the general of Wei, and Jiang Yunzhi's father, Jiang Yan, served as the general of the north.

During the decisive battle, Du Guang made a strategic deployment. The two troops divided into two groups. Du Guang led a small team to make a short-range surprise attack.

Because Du Guang assigned Jiang Yan a road that had never been taken, Jiang Yan's men lost their way in the desert and failed to arrive in time.

Du Guang and others fell into the enemy camp and were besieged for three days. Finally, the Jedi counterattacked and won more with less.

After this battle, the Nanhu people were defeated and negotiated peace, and the border of Monan ushered in 12 years of peace.

Du Guang was named a general.

Jiang Yan took the blame and committed suicide.

The ten-year-old only son, Jiang Yunzhi, was left behind.

Du Guang took Jiang Yunzhi to the general's mansion and took care of him personally.

When Du Heng was born a year later, he once thought Jiang Yunzhi was his own brother.

Jiang Yunzhi respects Du Guang very much and treats him like a father. He takes Du Guang as an example and hopes to make contributions and serve the country like him.

At the age of 16, Jiang Yunzhi knew the truth about his father's death.

Jiang Yunzhi was struggling in his heart.

He felt that his father died unjustly. If it were not for Du Guang's command, his father would not commit suicide, and Du Guang was guilty.

But he couldn't blame Du Guang. Du Guang was only carrying out the command of the supreme commander, and his strategy was correct.

Moreover, Da Chu couldn't do without Du Guang.

He wanted to avenge his family feud, and he didn't want his father to die innocently.

But he couldn't use his own selfishness to kill General Da Chu and put Da Chu's safety at risk.

Du Guang went hunting this year, and both he and Du Heng went.

Seeing Du Heng on horseback, he suddenly became murderous.

The moment the arrow was shot, he changed direction abruptly, and the arrow deviated from its original trajectory and instead grazed the horse's leg.

Du Heng fell off his horse, he didn't dare to go up to look, and ran away in a hurry.

For a five-year-old child who still regards himself as his own brother, he deeply despises himself.

After that, he temporarily put aside the idea of ​​revenge and practiced martial arts meticulously.

A few years later, Du Heng showed his talents.His ability to strategize and march in battle is not inferior to that of Du Guang back then, and he was called the young god of war by people at the border.

He felt that the time for revenge was approaching.

Not long ago, Du Heng captured Prince Nanhu, ending the Battle of Monan, and also achieved a great victory in the Battle of Mobei.

The time has come.

On the second night when Du Heng went to Beijing, Du Guang and his subordinates celebrated the victory of the two sides in the camp.

Everyone relaxed their guard and drank a lot of wine.

Jiang Yunzhi assassinated Du Guang that night.

Killing Du Guang at this time, he has a clear conscience towards his father and Da Chu.

But when he stabbed Du Guang for the second time, Zhong Ming suddenly appeared and blocked Du Guang.

He killed Uncle Ming by mistake, and all thoughts were lost.

That was Uncle Ming who cared for him everywhere...

In a daze, he called the soldiers outside and told them that he had assassinated the general, and then they put him in prison.

After two days in prison without eating or drinking, he was relieved.

The father's revenge has been avenged, and he only needs to die to apologize to Uncle Ming.

After Du Heng came back, after talking to Du Heng, Jiang Yunzhi drew his sword and committed suicide.

After hearing what Jiang Yunzhi said, Du Heng's mind went blank, and he didn't know how to get out of the dungeon.

He didn't hate Jiang Yunzhi, he thought Jiang Yunzhi was right, he didn't think his father was wrong, and the dead Uncle Ming was even more right.

But now, two of the three people closest to him died and one was injured.

He didn't know what to do, he really wanted to find a place where no one was there to cry.

But now is not the time to cry, my father is still awake, and Uncle Ming's body is still there.

Uncle Ming... Thinking of Uncle Ming, he felt sad again. Uncle Ming hoped to die on the battlefield in the end, but now he failed to do so.

Uncle Ming has been fighting with his father all the time, and has no family members. Du Heng couldn't help crying when he thought of Uncle Ming's kindness to him.

General Du woke up a day later and ordered the entire army to block the news, saying only that the general was assassinated, and that Vice General Zhong and Captain Jiang were killed to protect the general.

Although the emperor knew the inside story, in order to stabilize people's hearts, he announced to the world according to Du Guang's memorial, and posthumously presented Zhong Ming and Jiang Yunzhi as loyal martyrs.

At the same time, Du Heng confessed to the emperor that Zhong Ming was his adoptive father, and he was buried in Du's Zhonglie Cemetery.

Half a month later, Du Heng transported the remains of Zhong Ming and Jiang Yunzhi back to Beijing.

After arranging the funeral of the two of them, Du Heng didn't stay in the capital and rushed back to Mobei directly.

One more thing is missing.
