As soon as the emperor's birthday passed, the envoys from all over the world left satisfied with their rewards.

It seemed that he was too noisy, or his heart was relaxed, and Emperor Wen of Chu fell ill.

The early court was stopped, and the ministers were not seen, which made the court worried.

The crown prince and King Qi took turns serving in front of the hospital bed, and Qiqi surrounded the dragon bed in the imperial hospital. The concubines in the harem were led by the concubine to chant scriptures and pray for blessings every day. Fortunately, three days later, Emperor Wen of Chu finally returned to court.

It's just that Song Heng looked at it, and his complexion was not as good as before.

Birth, old age, sickness and death are natural trends. Emperors are exhausted, and few people live long.

I thought it would take some time for the situation to change suddenly, but suddenly I came back to my senses and found that this day is not so far away.

Both inside and outside the court were secretly preparing, and there was an undercurrent under the calm weather. Some courtiers couldn't bear it and simply asked the king of Qi to go to the fiefdom as soon as possible.

No one knows the health status better than Emperor Wen of Chu himself, and this minister's move hit his pain point.

Immediately no one dared to say a word anymore.

However, what happens to the DPRK and China will not affect people's mood for spring outings.

The spring thunder has sounded, the sting has passed, all kinds of hibernating animals are out for food, and migratory birds are flying in the sky, migrating from the north to the south.

Xiao Pei, who is about to be the bridegroom's official, invites his friends to go hunting in the woods outside the suburbs of Beijing. He wants to shoot a pair of wild geese with him when he welcomes the bride.

When asked about Song Heng and Lu Jin, they naturally went happily.

It's been a long time since we went out together, so it's a date.

The sun is shining today, and the spring is full of vibes. It is warm and comfortable when it shines on people. God is quite generous.

The two of them rushed to the gate of the city on fast horses, only to find that there was a long queue at the gate of the city, all of them were waiting to enter the capital, some of them were still with their families, and some of the carriages were of high quality.

Sitting behind Song Heng's horse, Lu Jin patted the back of the person in front of him and asked why.

Song Heng said, "May is the time for officials to return to Beijing to report on their duties. The three-year period expires, waiting for the Ministry of Officials to determine whether to stay or not."

"It's only April, I'm going to come back first to see relatives and friends."

Song Heng praised, "A Jin is smart."

Just as he was talking, a voice came from the city gate, "I said you two, the sun has already reached the peak, and you are still joking around here, not tired of crooked. Those monkeys from the Luo family have already rushed into the forest. Are you going to pick up what's left of them?"

Song Heng and Lu Jin looked over, only to see Xiao Pei and a few brothers looking at them speechlessly holding a horsewhip.

Lu Jin tilted his head from behind Song Heng and waved his hand at them.

"Song Heng must have wasted time." The young master of the Fang family said seriously.

That's right, Doctor Lu is punctual at first glance.

Song Heng pinched the horse's belly, walked slowly to join him, and said flatly, "Even if the Luo family has been scanned ten times, there are still everything that should be in the forest."

There was contempt in his eyes, as if to say that those monkeys were no match for others.

He was really arrogant, but he had no choice but to go up to the peak. Xiao Pei dared not speak out, but when he saw that Song Heng's horse was clean except Doctor Xiao Lu, not to mention hunting gear, he didn't even have a bow. He was surprised and said "Both of you don't bring anything, and plan to catch pheasants with bare hands"

Lu Jin laughed a few times, but didn't speak. They got up late in the morning and came out holding the horse.

However, Song Heng said very thick-skinned, "Spring is the time when all things reproduce, just look at it, and don't kill."

Mr. Fang has a bad temper, "Then what are you doing here?"

Song Heng smiled and said, "Take Ah Jin out for a spring ride." Then he added, "A tryst."

A handful of dog food was forced into the opponent's mouth, Lu Jin couldn't bear to watch.

Seeing that Xiao Pei and the others turned green, they seemed to want to pick up the guy and give it to Song Heng, when they heard the sound of horseshoes behind them.

I saw Song Bai coming on a fast horse, dismounted quickly in front of Song Heng, and handed him a set of hunting gear.

"My lord, you have fallen behind." After saying salute, he got on his horse and left.

"Hehe" Dare to ask Mr. Song if his face hurts.

"It's getting late, don't go yet," Song Heng hung the hunting gear on the horse, and urged him nonchalantly.

When they left in the dust, they saw an unremarkable carriage lined up at the gate of the city, with a corner of the window lifted, and a young man was watching their backs.

"Daddy, what are you looking at?" A childish voice in the carriage asked.

The young man replied softly, "An old man." He looked back, but those high-spirited young disciples had already gone away, and he frowned, thinking secretly, "But I don't know who is behind him"

"Who is Daddy talking about?" asked the innocent child's voice that day.

The young man laughed and said, "You are so young, you take care of too much."

"Daddy, I'm hungry." The man raised his voice and asked, "How long will it take before we can enter the city?"

"Soon, sir, we can go in with three teams."

April [-]th is an auspicious day for marriage.

The suona and horns sang in unison, and the drums and Luo blew twice, with tall horses and big red flowers, and a luxurious sedan chair behind them.

Little General Pei was dressed in bright red, and happily led a group of guests, riding a horse to Princess Changle's mansion.

"Here, come, princess, General Pei has arrived at the door, oh, stop eating."

In the boudoir, Princess Pingyang took a sip of water after eating snacks, and said, "Why are you so anxious, how could they get in so quickly with their idiots?"

As soon as the words were finished, Princess Xincheng walked in with her maid, and was startled when she saw Pingyang, "Why are you still sitting here? The groom has already entered the door. Xi Po, hurry up and put on makeup for the princess, and cover up the hijab."

Princess Pingyang sat down in front of the mirror under the urging of all the crowd, and she asked in wonder, "How much benefit did the fifth brother give, and everyone who blocked the door would release water."

The Princess of Xincheng commanded the servant girl to run around, and laughed when she heard this, "Why don't you say that Pei Wu is a vanguard officer, wars pay attention to tactics, and the same is true for picking up the bride. Yang and his party are well-known throughout the capital for their talkativeness, and the three sons-in-law and the county horse are willing to bow down, and if they choose the third, they will win."

The speed was astonishingly fast, Xincheng was afraid that the old god Pingyang would not be ready, so he hurried over to take a look, sure enough.

Princess Pingyang curled her lips and said, "It must be my uncle's idea. The friendship between Fifth Brother and Yang and his party is not that deep." However, although he said the words, there was pride in his eyes.

Xincheng spat at her, "Okay, shut up, from now on you have to be a bride quietly, and tomorrow you can do whatever you want to tame your husband."

When a red hijab was covered, the noise came from far and near. Hearing Pei Wuyang's complacent voice, Pingyang couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

There are red lanterns inside and outside Pei's house, red happy characters, red silk hangings, and it is lively and lively.

Xiao Pei is in the army, and the first four elder brothers are all married, and their children can run around. In addition to the population of two and three bedrooms, the family has a big business, and there are many people in charge of it. There are more relatives and old friends who come to congratulate up.

Fortunately, Pei's yard is big enough to sit open.

Dachu weddings are held in the evening, and by the time the bride and groom finish worshiping heaven and earth and are sent to the bridal chamber, the lights are already on.

Song Heng and Lu Jin sat at the Song family army's table, and they didn't bother with the royal relatives. General Pang, General Shao, and Deputy General Hu were all acquaintances, so they were at ease.

Even when the prince came, he couldn't find where his uncle was.

Now that the prince is very popular, he came this time with an imperial decree to reward him.

Xiao Pei took off his hijab, drank a glass of wine with Ping Yang, and when he came out to entertain guests with a silly grin, Master Pei caught him in front of the prince and toasted the prince with a glass of wine first.

It is inconvenient for the prince to drink alcohol, so he patted Xiao Pei on the shoulder after drinking tea instead of wine and said, "Although Gu and Pingyang are cousins, they grew up together with Pingyang and are closer than many sisters. You don't want to Bully her, or Gu Ding will not forgive you."

There is no water in these words, because the Empress Song died early, the emperor did not trust the concubines in the harem, and thought that he had been taken care of by the eldest princess of Ningguo, so he entrusted his younger sister Changle to take care of her. Song Heng, the little uncle, was still called after the prince.

Before Xiao Pei could speak, Master Pei said, "Your Highness, don't worry, if this monkey grandson dares to offend the princess, you don't need to teach him a lesson. The old minister will break his leg first."

These days, when a father scolds his son, he always scolds himself, and Xiao Pei mutters in his heart that I am the grandson of the monkey, and you are the father of the monkey.

He aggrieved and said, "Why do you both talk about me? When will I dare to refute what Pingyang said?"

The prince was satisfied and then went back to the palace.

As soon as the prince left, the banquet became lively.

"Look at Pei Wu's attitude of not rejecting anyone who comes, isn't he going to have a bridal chamber tonight?" General Shao looked at the boisterous table in the distance, gloating.

General Pang said, "Come on, let me bet a coin that Pei Wu's wine jar must be full of water."

"Yes, Lao Pang has experience, and if he misses the bottom line, he's still dead. If it wasn't for my brothers who saved you, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to crawl back to sister-in-law that night." General Zhang ruthlessly exposed the bottom line.

General Pang was not ashamed but proud, "It was not prepared, the water was added a little, and the smell of wine was gone."

Deputy General Hu said, "Little Pei is an honest person, and he won't pay for it. Look at the number of men in Pei's family, and he can't stop someone from coming up."

This is the benefit of strength in numbers.

He said and asked Song Heng, "General, Qiang Rong sent ten thousand horses, and if he can't marry the princess, he will go back like this."

Song Heng glanced at him lightly, "What do you want to say?"

"King Qiang Rong is more ambitious than the old Wang. I really can't believe it when he sent the peace letter."

All the people sitting here except Lu Jin had fought against Qiang Rong. The eldest prince was so ambitious back then, how could he do such a thing.

Song Heng said, "Whether it's true or not, you should still be on guard. Why, you want to fight a war"

General Shao said, "Sooner or later, before the new king is firmly seated, the general will finally feel that he can go to the Qiang Rong court."

Song Heng shook his head, "The emperor won't agree, he is seeking stability now."

If Song Heng asked for his life when he was young and strong, he would definitely support him.It's a pity that today's Xishan is thinner than it was back then.

Lu Jin listened while drinking tea, he didn't understand these things, and he couldn't get in any words, but one thing was clear, if Song Heng went to the battlefield, he would definitely follow him.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Song Heng kept paying attention to him and asked "what's the matter?"

Lu Jin shook his head slightly, "I'm thinking about how to reduce the death rate. After a war, the casualties are too heavy, which is shocking."

He has been with Song Heng for a long time, and he also understands the cruelty of fighting with real swords and guns in the cold weapon era. The number of people often determines the outcome, which means consuming human lives.

Song Heng knew Lu Jin well, so he asked, "Do you have an idea?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone present looked over. The training Lu Jin had given to the doctors and soldiers during this period had already opened their eyes. Putting it on the battlefield would definitely save the lives of many soldiers.

"Doctor Lu has a more effective method?"

Lu Jin didn't nod or shake his head. He did have an idea, but because it was too long ago, although he knew the general steps of the simple production method, there were still some key points to be explored.

"I'll try again, maybe I can make it before the war, and at least half the survival rate will be increased by then."

After Lu Jin finished speaking, everyone's eyes widened, even Song Heng looked at him in disbelief.

"Really, this medicine is not an exaggeration, but I don't have a clue yet." Lu Jin affirmed.

"Then hurry up and develop it," General Pang urged impatiently.

General Shao gave him a blank look, "You still don't believe me, Doctor Lu, you must be more anxious than us. Say yes, Doctor Lu."

Naturally, Lu Jin could only nod his head.

Song Heng bowed his head and said to him, "If you have any difficulties, you might as well tell me and see if I can find a way. If it doesn't work, I will invite the emperor to recruit capable people from all over the world."

On the battlefield, if a soldier survives, he is a victory, and Song Heng cares more about this than anyone else.

Feeling his eagerness, Lu Jin nodded, "Okay, give me one of the taro cakes opposite."

As soon as the words were finished, nine pairs of chopsticks clamped the taro cake together. Song Heng was a little far away, and simply said, "Bring the plate here."

General Pang, who had caught one before and took a bite, asked, "Why don't I give you this too"

"Dirty or not, you are not a general." General Zhang rolled his eyes over him.

Deputy General Hu said, "How about asking the servants to serve another plate?"

Lu Jin shook her head again and again, "No, thank you all, I want one."

Song Heng let out a muffled laugh, and poured him a bowl of soup, "Eat slowly, tell me what you want." He also held up a handkerchief to wipe his crumb-stained fingers, so considerate that the tablemate The man looks up at the sky.

However, this also attracted surprised gazes from around, and one of them stared at Lu Jin the longest.

When Lu Jin looked up, he saw a person walking towards this side.
