Chapter 60 Conditions for Retirement There were only two of them sitting on their knees under the pear tree in the backyard. Jiang He's clear eyes reflected the gradually yellowing leaves and Zhao Zhengfeng's handsome face.
He was eating porridge with his head down.
Perhaps because of abundant rain and fertile land, the corn in Luoyang is plumper than that in Yong.
The trees here have more branches and leaves.
Good birds choose trees to roost in. Jiang He probably wanted to stay in Wei.
She is truly a woman who breaks through the wall and never looks back.
"Retreat," Zhao Zheng smacked the taste of these two words on his lips, raised his head and said, "What are the conditions?"
Hearing Zhao Zheng ask this, Jiang He relaxed and had a little smile on his face.
The grievance and sorrow that accumulated in her chest and lungs yesterday disappeared, leaving behind traces of melancholy and a little confidence in overcoming obstacles.
Sure enough, it was still suitable for them to be so straightforward and disrespectful of benevolence, justice and morality.
"I'll give you food," Jiang He patted the table with his hand and said with a smile, "I still have some food."
"No." Zhao Zheng shook his head, "Don't even think about making Gu's gold."
When had she ever made a loss-making business in front of him?I don’t know how many times I’m going to increase the price!
Instead of doing this, he simply transferred grain and grass from Shu to support canal construction.
What's more, money will be of little use to her in the future in Wei.
Giving her so much money is equivalent to giving so much money to the Wei royal family.
Zhao Zheng will not do any business that is loss-making.
Seeing that he had not succeeded, Jiang He tilted his head and said playfully: "Your Majesty is lonely every night. I got a beauty yesterday to sleep with you."
Zhao Zheng raised his eyelids, shook his head and said, "A beautiful lady with a piece of grass stuck in her head, ragged clothes and unsteady walking, who looks like your father-in-law? I'm sorry but I'm not blessed to accept it."
Jiang He's face turned dark.
He sure knows.
As expected, he walked back with him last night.
You are so brave, don’t you know that Wei Ji’s residence is just across the street?
"I don't have any extra military tactics."
"Why do I need military books?" Zhao Zhengdao said, "In those days when the Master gave lectures and had more than [-] disciples, how many of them could receive the teachings of the saints and practice them all the time and be clear in their minds? The secret books of military strategists have never been important. What is important is the people. .”
She is the descendant of Sun Wu, and she is extremely intelligent.
"Then what do you want?"
Jiang He put his hands on his chest and said with a guarded if he was afraid of being blackmailed by Zhao Zheng.
"You," Zhao Zheng looked at Jiang He's sudden surprise at the word with interest, and then said, "... your reply."
What reply is so important? Jiang He was a little puzzled.
"Gu wrote to you, and you have to reply." Zhao Zheng's expression became serious for a moment, "Gu wrote to you earlier to tell you that Gu had released Jiang Bi, why didn't you reply?"
Is that the one?
Jiang He frowned and looked at him.
Do you need to praise you for fulfilling your promise?You are not a three-year-old.
"From today on," Zhao Zhengdao, "you have to write a letter to Gu Ruo every ten days. If Gu Ruo writes to you and asks you something, you have to answer. Wei Ji will probably persuade the six countries to join forces to attack Dayong, Gu Bu. You are asked to be a spy to convey military information, but if Guruo asks about anything that has nothing to do with military information, you have to reply."
He doesn't want food and disdains beauties, not to mention the military books that only Yong Kingdom does not have now. He just wants her to write back to him.
No matter how many intrigues are hidden in this request, at least it is easy to achieve.
"Okay." Jiang He replied.
The two words are also reply, and when the time comes, it will be returned as "read".
However, just as Jiang He was thinking this, Zhao Zheng interrupted her thoughts and said, "Each letter must be no less than a hundred words."
"what?"
"Let's eat. How about just drinking sour plum soup? Are you a pickle jar?" Zhao Zheng pushed the hot soup and porridge in front of Jiang He, stared at her with unquestionable eyes, picked up the wooden spoon, and ate obediently.
Under the pear tree, two figures, black and red, are holding spoons together, eating together, and picking up fruits and vegetables.
The food in Wei was naturally not as delicious as in King Yong's palace, but the person who ate with him could eat more.
"Zongjun," Zhao Zheng raised his eyebrows and said, "add some food."
Jiang He stopped him with a dissatisfied look: "Those who want money cannot eat for free."
Zong Jun happily took the delicate soup cauldron and ran all the way to the small rattle swayed gently in his sleeve, and he thought maybe there was no need to return it.
After finishing the meal, Zhao Zheng left through the front door.
He raised his eyes and looked at the plaque of Wei Ji's residence diagonally opposite, his eyes as cold as iron.
Su Yu, who had been on guard all around, came over, helped Zhao Zheng into the carriage, and drove away himself.
Zhao Zheng sat a little close to the car curtain, and suddenly said casually, "Su Yu, do you know why Gu didn't take her away?"
she?who?Jiang He?
Su Yu was startled.
King Yong never asked his opinion when doing Yu thought he was the arrow in Zhao Zheng's hand, so he just shot it in the direction Zhao Zheng was aiming need to be sharp, no brains required.
"I don't know."
"Because," Zhao Zheng gently leaned his head on the carriage, looked at the house gradually going away through the curtains blown by the wind, and whispered, "I want to give her time to repay Wei Ji's kindness. Only in this way can Jiang He discover that she is a red sun rising from the sea. The small Wei Kingdom cannot contain her fierce courage and peerless elegance!"
And by that time, he must have written a thick stack of letters to her.
Su Yu didn't quite understand what he heard, but he was vaguely worried.
How long will it take, three months, three years?Only he and Li Wenzhou who were close to His Majesty knew that His Majesty was judged by the imperial doctor to have residual poison in his body and could only live for three years.
Even Su Yu, a rough-minded man, couldn't help but feel worried.
He did not dare to look back, and the carriage drove out of the gate of Luoyang City and drove west.
I hope that when he comes next time, he will bring a hundred thousand cavalry to conquer this place that worries His Majesty and take away the woman that makes His Majesty linger.
On October [-]th, Wei Yu, the king of Wei State, abdicated due to illness, and Wei Yu's son Wei Zeng succeeded to the throne.
The four kingdoms surrounding Wei retreated after obtaining the military Yong Kingdom, which had conquered Hezhong Prefecture, also quietly retreated. Rumor has it that it was because they learned that the Wei Kingdom had strong soldiers, strong horses, strong horses, and sufficient food and grass, so they had to retreat.
On the way back to the capital of the Chu State, Xiang Yan, the general of the Chu State, was so focused on holding the book of war that he could not let go of the book and even almost fell off his horse.
Mi Fuchu, the prince of Chu State, looked at Xiang Yan with a gloomy expression.
In a woodland where the army buried pots for cooking, the young master was holding a long dogtail grass in his mouth, and finally couldn't help but kick Xiang Yan.
"Hey!" he said abruptly, "Are you satisfied with this military book?"
"Satisfied! Satisfied!" Xiang Yan clapped her legs and said, "From today on, it is possible to defeat the Yong Kingdom!"
The young master was holding the cud but still frowned.
Xiang Yan waited for a while and suddenly realized that the atmosphere was a little strange, so she reluctantly looked away from the military book and looked at the young master carrying the cud respectfully.
Mi Fuchu said coldly: "General Xiang, has he ever thought that Chu State has a chance of defeating Yong State, but what about conquering Qi State and Wei State? The person who wrote this military book lives in Wei State, but he is from Qi State. Princess."
That is true.
"Young master, it's better to think long-term." Xiang Yan put down the military book and cupped his hands.
"So Princess Jiang He of Anguo," he said, "can either be used by me or destroyed by me!"
Xiang Yan's expression was slightly stagnant.
Although I knew this was against nature, I felt it was the only way to go.
"Isn't it just asking for marriage!" Mi Fuchu couldn't help but laugh when she thought of this, "Wei State asked for marriage in a polite and courteous manner, and our Chu State should also do the same. Since we have troops and horses, how can we return empty-handed? I want to Station the troops and horses at the border of Qi and Wei, and go to Luoyang in person to ask for Jiang He's hand in marriage. If she agrees, that's all, but if she doesn't -"
Mi Fuchu made a beheading motion and said fiercely: "To avoid future troubles."
Xiang Yan felt a little chilled in her heart.
He looked down at the handwriting on the military book. Although he didn't see Jiang He in person, he couldn't help but feel regretful.
After thinking for a while, he reminded: "But Master, you already have a wife, how can you ask for marriage?"
Not only did he have his wife, but he also had a large group of sons and daughters.
Mi Fuchu's tall and mighty body shook a few times indifferently, and he laughed loudly and said: "What's so difficult about this? My mother has been dead for three years now, and I have no new queen in the palace of the King of Chu. I, the son, want to marry my father. Isn’t it the new queen?”
But she is still young at twenty-eight years old, and your father is already fifty years old. Are you willing to be the stepmother of a young master from Chu State who is in your mid-twenties?
But looking at Mi Fuchu's determination to win, Xiang Yan couldn't help but sweat for Jiang He.
This woman is smart and clever, but Mi Fuchu is also cunning and cruel. I wonder if she can survive this time.
"Sister, I'll accompany you."
Not long after sending away Zhao Zheng, the king of Yong State, Jiang Ben started jumping up and that Zongjun had prepared a spacious and comfortable carriage, and Jiang He had brought a lot of things, he squeezed in.
Jiang He looked at him and smiled.
"Are you afraid of getting dirty?"
"I'm afraid," Jiang Ben said with narrowed eyes, "But that's my sister's biological father, which is equivalent to my godfather, so I'm not afraid."
She was really smart, knowing that she was going to bring her father he couldn't figure out who his biological father and godfather were.
But before the carriage could reach the courtyard, a gracefully decorated carriage was suddenly seen driving in from the side door.
Wei Ji, the young master of Wei Kingdom, jumped down from the carriage, turned around and opened the curtain, and said respectfully: "Master Jiang, we are home."
Jiang He's blood instantly flowed backwards, and he froze for a she realized what she was doing, she hurriedly jumped off the carriage and walked over.
As expected, Wei Ji helped her bring her father back.
When he saw Jiang He, he said warmly: "I came back early in the morning and first went to pick up Mr. Jiang outside the city. In addition to him, I also invited a doctor who is good at acupuncture to try to dredge the meridians in Mr. Jiang's head in order to restore his mind. "
Jiang He crossed Wei Ji to lift the carriage curtain, and sure enough he saw his father huddled in the innermost part of the carriage, close to the carriage, holding something unknown in his hand.
"Father," Jiang He said, "my daughter will take you out."
Hearing this voice, Jiang Anqing looked outside, then suddenly rushed out of the carriage, raised the thing in his hand high, and stabbed Jiang He in the neck.
It was a half-broken tile.
He yelled: "The most important matter of the country, the land of life and death, kill!"
Although it is not extremely sharp, if used forcefully, it can definitely cut Jiang He's throat.
