after being kidnapped by the general

Jia Qing had never experienced such an atmosphere before.

But when he was in it, he felt that such a feeling was really irresistible.

At night, when Jia Qing helped his drunken subordinate to go back, the subordinate said drunkenly: "General, I think Youzhou is more comfortable than Jizhou! Just forget about Wu Shanshi, let's stay here."

As he spoke, the subordinate cried out, "General, I really don't want you to go through prison again."

Jia Qing sighed.

The subordinate said with a big tongue: "I asked the subordinates of Governor Yuan, and they would also put their family members behind and let Governor Yuan protect them...but their families are much more comfortable, and they are sending rice and food. Meat. Look at the food we ate tonight. I have never eaten such a delicious meal. I think that if our family members are safe and sound, and can still eat such meals, even the family members will still be persecuted It's better than being in Jizhou if the governor controls it!"

Jia Qing patted him on the back, "Hurry up and shut up. I know you are afraid that I will repeat the same mistakes, and you still have a hard time giving up on the old master. But I decided to escape from prison, and I will never look back."

The subordinate said: "Then I, we can rest assured..."

Supporting his snoring subordinate with closed eyes, Jia Qing looked at the lanterns hung on both sides of the road, and the cold wind blew through him, clearing his mind and lifting his spirits.

This is Youzhou.

He stopped for a while, the night covered many scenes, Jia Qing still couldn't bear to leave, he was fascinated by it.It wasn't until his subordinate sneezed that Jia Qing woke up with a start and left in a hurry.

Yuan Li was also chatting with Chu Hechao about Jia Qing.

The two of them huddled in bed and whispered.

Yuan Li asked, "What do you think of him?"

Chu Hechao gave Jia Qing a high evaluation, "With him, Wu Shanshi still has a chance to fight me, but without Jia Qing, I can win Jizhou within a month."

Yuan Li was delighted when he heard it, "Not bad, not bad, I have added another strong general under my command."

Chu Hechao dragged the person onto him and lay down, sneered, "Is it as fierce as me?"

Yuan Li sighed, "Your skin is really thicker than the city wall."

Chu Hechao had a half-smile, "You can go out and ask casually, and no one will say that I am the fiercest general."

Yuan Li suddenly realized, "So you've been eavesdropping on what other people are saying about you as a brave general."

Chu Hechao's face turned hot: "..."

Yuan Li laughed, grabbed Chu Hechao's hand and said, "Brother, how did you get the burn on your hand? Are you willing to tell me now?"

He looked down at Chu Hechao's hand, carefully stroking the burns on it.

What kind of reason could leave such a heavy scar on Chu Hechao's hand.

Chu Hechao was taken aback for a moment, the corners of his mouth were tightly pursed, and he fell silent.

Yuan Li looked up at him, "It doesn't matter if you don't want to say it."

Chu Hechao shook his head.

He held Yuan Li's hand back, and said calmly: "Yang Zhongfa has two sons, who used to be young generals by my side."

Yuan Li was thoughtful, and he listened quietly.

This is the first time he knows that Yang Zhongfa has two sons, because Yang Zhongfa has never mentioned this matter, and Yuanli has never seen his two sons.

With such a mention, Yuanli had already guessed that the two sons might have encountered an accident.

Chu Hechao said: "When I was fighting against the Karasuma people, my life was on the line several times. In the last battle against Gu Lichi, he even used a fire attack despite being on the grassland. In that battle, the northern border army was killed and injured. It was terrible. Yang Zhongfa's two sons also died on this battlefield."

Yuanli pursed his lips.

Chu Hechao's eyes were already wet. He wiped his face and continued: "I am the chief general, and I have suffered the most serious fire attack. The grassland is flammable, and the fire has already started. They fell into the fire with me. Protecting me from breaking out, Yang Zhongfa's eldest son even blocked a rocket for me, and when I brought them out, their hands were injured, and they were burned alive."

"Brother," Yuan Li suddenly regretted asking this question, "I'm sorry..."

Chu Hechao shook his head and said in a low voice, "Yuanli, don't mention these two sons in front of Yang Zhongfa."

Yuan Li nodded, and went up to hug Chu Hechao.

Chu Hechao circled Yuanli and looked at the top of the bed curtain, "They used to be my good friends. After they died, Yang Zhongfa often drank to numb the pain of losing his son. He didn't feel relieved until his youngest son was born."

Yuan Li didn't know that Yang Zhongfa had such a sad experience hidden under the appearance of Yang Zhongfa's hippie smile and fondness for drinking.He frowned slowly, and suddenly said: "It's all the fault of those Karasuma people."

"You're right," Chu Hechao's eyes gradually sank, "It's all the fault of those Karasuma people."

No one spoke again, and in the darkness, the two embraced each other and fell asleep.

The next day, Yuanli sent Jia Qing the ointment to cure chilblain, and sent Zhou Gongdan to take Jia Qing and his party to look around Ji County, so that Zhou Gongdan could see the changes in Youzhou in recent years with his own eyes. .

When he saw the matter of garrisoning fields, Zhou Gongdan quickly realized the beauty of it, and couldn't help but be full of praise.

Five years seems like a lot, but in fact it is only a blink of an eye, but Youzhou has undergone earth-shaking changes.Whether it's the public toilet or the windmill and waterwheel, they dazzled the entire group.

Zhou Gongdan was surprised by the wonderful idea of ​​the protagonist, and regretted that he did not participate.After reading these things, he deliberately came to find Yuan Li, and told Yuan Li what he was thinking.

They talked from morning to evening as soon as they chatted. They haven't seen each other for five years. They can talk about a lot.

If Chu Hechao hadn't come to invite them to eat at dinner time, the two of them would have chatted all night.

During the meal, Yuan Li was still talking to Zhou Gongdan, "Since you used your real name by Wu Shanshi's side, you may need to use a fake name to cover up for a while now when you come back."

Zhou Gongdan nodded with a smile, "To tell you the truth, the name Gongdan is really eye-catching. I have long wanted to change my name."

Yuan Li raised his lips, "I really like your name."

Chu Hechao tapped the side of the bowl with his chopsticks, and the crisp sound made the two people who were talking jump.

The two turned their heads together and looked at him puzzled.Chu Hechao handed the bowl and chopsticks to Yuanli, and said expressionlessly, "Eat."

Yuan Li blinked and took the chopsticks to eat.

Zhou Gongdan looked at Yuanli, then at Chu Hechao, and gradually became thoughtful.

Chu Hechao raised his eyelids and glanced at Zhou Gongdan, with threats in his eyes.

Zhou Gongdan smiled, obediently closed his eyes, and ate his meal peacefully.

At the end of March, the emperor far away in Yangzhou saw that Wu Shanshi was acting more and more rampantly, and finally became anxious. He couldn't help but issued an imperial decree, stating that whoever can get rid of Wu Shanshi, who has made himself emperor, will be made a prince.

As the saying goes, for princes and ministers, Feng Gong is the greatest title under a king with a different surname. In the case that the royal family has not named a king with a different surname for a long time, Feng Gong is the greatest sincerity that the emperor can show.

After the death of King Chu Hengping, Chu Hechao inherited the title of King Chu.Chu Hechao didn't need Feng Gong, but Yuanli did.After hearing about this incident, Youzhou, which had been silent for a long time, finally made a sound. Yuanli, as the governor of the two states, resolutely stated to the world that it was his duty to eliminate the rebels for the emperor. Ten days later, Youzhou would send troops to attack Wu Shanshi , to crusade against the disobedient people who claim to be emperor without authorization.

When the news reached Jizhou, Wu Shanshi panicked before Yuanli came.

He hurriedly searched for someone who could deal with Yuanli among the generals, but none of his subordinates dared to fight.

Wu Shanshi got angry, and after suppressing his anger, he couldn't help regretting it.

Jia Qing is still easy to use, if Jia Qing is still there, he wouldn't be like this...

But no matter how much he regrets, Jia Qing will never come back.

……

Before the army set off, Yuanli routinely went to the fields to inspect the spring sowing.

During the inspection, Yuan Li accidentally sprained his foot.

He himself didn't feel anything, Chu Hechao dragged him to the side of the road, took off his shoes and socks with a serious face, and checked his ankles.

Yuanli moved his feet uncomfortably, "It's okay, it's not serious."

Chu Hechao didn't speak, and he didn't know where he pressed his fingers. Yuan Li suddenly felt a pain, and his expression wrinkled.

"Still saying it's not serious?" Chu Hechao looked at him with a smirk, "Is it serious until it swells?"

Yuanli rubbed his nose, but didn't speak.

Chu Hechao stood up neatly, and was about to take Yuanli away, "Keep watching, I'll take you Lord Governor back to rest first."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for others to respond, Chu Hechao asked his soldiers to lead the horse over, and helped Yuan Li get on the horse.

Yuan Li helplessly said to Liu Jixin and the others: "I'll go back first, and if you finish reading it, go back directly."

The subordinates bowed their hands and saluted, "Yes."

Back in the mansion, Yuanli's feet hurt more and more, and when he looked again, they were all swollen.

Yuan Li was curious, and looked at Chu Hechao with admiration, "I don't even think it will be swollen, how do you know? I know more medical books than you."

Chu Hechao took a towel soaked in cold water and applied it to his ankles, and said slowly, "Reading a lot of medical books doesn't mean my experience is useful."

He carefully applied it to Yuanli for a while, and when it was almost done, he rubbed his palms to warm them up and covered Yuanli's ankle, "Does it hurt?"

"It's okay." Yuan Li frowned.

After he finished pressing and let go of his hand, Yuan Li suddenly felt much more comfortable.He pulled his foot and saw that the swelling of the ankle had also subsided a little.

Bravo.

Chu Hechao went out to wash his hands and came back, sat aside and said, "Your foot needs at least five or six days of recuperation before you can get out of bed and walk. The army is about to go to war. I will go there on your behalf and let your subordinates, Wu Kai and Wang Meng, come with me. I won the meritorious service for you, so you can stay in Youzhou."

Yuan Li smiled, "To tell you the truth, I have exactly that intention."

Even if he didn't sprain his ankle, Yuan Li was still hesitating whether to follow.

Yuanli had no choice but to follow up on the crusade against Li Li earlier.But he really doesn't have much help on the battlefield, and these generals can lead the troops to fight. Yuanli might as well sit in the rear so as to coordinate the overall situation.

The attack on Jizhou is already a certain victory, and there is no need for Yuanli to follow in person.

"It's just hard work for you," Yuan Li said with a sigh, "It's only been a few months of recovery, and it's time to go to the battlefield again."

It is said that Wu Kai and Wang Meng under his command will be the main force, but Chu Hechao will definitely spend a lot of effort.He also wants to teach Wu Kai and the two how to fight, which is equivalent to taking credit for their achievements after a hard fight.

"The general doesn't fight, so what do you want the general to do?" Chu Hechao laughed, staring at Yuan Li playfully and said, "Besides, I'm happy to fight for my wife."

He lowered his voice for the last few sentences, sounding like he was flirting.

Yuan Li couldn't help laughing, and hooked his hands towards Chu Hechao, "Sit closer."

Chu Hechao hooked his legs to the chair and took a step forward.

Yuan Li stepped on Chu Hechao's thigh with his other uninjured foot, coughing, "General Chu, you..."

Lin Tian's voice suddenly sounded outside the door, as if a special reminder: "My lord, madam is here!"

Yuan Li's complexion changed, he immediately retracted his feet, and gave Chu Hechao a look.

How did his mother come here?
