On the second day of February, the dragon raised its head.

According to the practice of previous years, the old king of Chu led the civil and military officials of Chu to hold an annual sacrifice and blessing ceremony in the suburbs of the eastern city. Out of the east gate of Junshan City, crowded with people along the way, it was not lively, the people of Junshan City came to watch, and most of the heat also wanted to come to get lucky.

The old king of Chu is an old man, and secondly, he has been suffering from stubborn diseases, and after a complicated sacrificial ceremony, the old king of Chu has been so tired that his spirit is relieved, and his face is pale.

At sunset, Yunmeng Pavilion.

The glow that has turned into a fiery red glow swept across the surface of Junshan Lake, reflecting the mighty Junshan Lake in a dazzling glow, like a dream.

On the Huatai outside the third floor of Yunmeng Pavilion, the old king of Chu was lying comfortably on a rattan chair, sometimes closing his eyes to recuperate, and sometimes opening his eyes to look at the beautiful Junshan Lake.

Recently, the old king of Chu has been in a good mood, so much so that the old king of Chu feels that even the stubborn illness that has accompanied him for many years seems to be better, and there is a little feeling of "people are in good spirits when they are happy". In previous years, when he came back from attending the sacrificial ceremony in the suburbs, the old king of Chu had to lie on the bed for two days, but today he just asked people to put down a rattan chair on the Huatai and rest for a while, and after lying down and resting for a while, he already felt that his energy had recovered a lot.

Although the northern border of Chu was unstable at this time, it was nothing compared to a piece of heart that had been hidden in the heart of the old King Chu for many years. Because those are all trivialities, and the piece of heart that he often hangs in his heart is the root of Chudi's life and death.

An old chamberlain in the palace hurriedly walked to the Huatai outside the third floor of Yunmeng Pavilion, followed by two maids holding trays in their hands. The old chamberlain walked lightly to the old king of Chu, and when he saw that the old king of Chu was closing his eyes and recuperating, he called softly: "Lord Wang?"

The old chamberlain didn't expect that he just called softly, and the old king of Chu actually opened his eyes, and the old chamberlain suddenly opened his eyebrows and smiled: "Oh, the prince looks really good today!"

The old king of Chu looked at the old servant in front of him who had followed him for most of his life, and felt some emotion in his heart, these years have passed so fast, the smart and clever young man back then is now gray, his face is full of wrinkles, and he is old.

"It's Huang Ting!"

The old king of Chu said while supporting the rattan chair with his hand and wanted to sit up, the old chamberlain hurriedly bowed his waist and stretched out his hand to help the old king of Chu, and said with a smile on his face: "Lord, today is the second day of February, the day when the dragon raises its head, I let the kitchen make a longan, you also eat a bowl? ”

The old king of Chu stretched his waist, squinted just now, and felt in good spirits at this moment, so he smiled heartily: "A bowl of longan is just that, then it will bring good luck to my Chu country, but what you said is not bad! Okay, then I will eat a bowl, I don't want to be blessed and long-lived, I hope that God will let me live a little longer, let me finish what I need to do." ”

The so-called "dragon's eye" in the mouth of the old chamberlain is actually chaos, perhaps the old king of Chu is in a good mood, and he originally said to eat a bowl, but after eating a bowl, he added a second bowl, and the old chamberlain saw that his master was eating well, and his heart was also happy.

The old chamberlain took the bowl and spoon from the hand of the old Chu king, and took a towel from the tray in the hand of the maid behind him and handed it to the old Chu king.

"Huang Ting, has there been a result of what I asked you to investigate?" asked the old Chu king.

"Today's news, the little prince since the Los Angeles disaster, he stayed in the homeless pile for a year, and then with the homeless people all the way to the state, somehow he entered the military of the state army, but the little prince is really powerful, three years, hard to accumulate military exploits with a knife and a gun, has been the captain of the infantry army of the state army, and later because Liu He rebelled against the Gale Dynasty, the little prince left the state army, and these are the things that were found temporarily. ”

The old king of Chu bowed slightly, walked to the railing with his hands behind his back, raised his eyes to look at Junshan Lake at dusk, and said with a smile on his face: "That's good, I was worried at first that he was still the pampered little prince back then, and I was afraid that he would not be able to withstand the wind and rain." By the way, how did he get into the Shenfeng Army Scout Camp?"

Du Huangting, the old chamberlain standing with his hands hanging on the side, replied: "General Jing Song has already gone to find the little prince, but it's just ...... It's just that the little prince didn't agree, and General Jing Song didn't force it, just said that the little prince should think about it. ”

The old Chu King nodded, then turned to look at the old chamberlain and ordered: "Huang Ting, you send a few powerful witch shadows to secretly take care of him, just in case, and don't let anyone know about this matter for the time being." ”

"The old slave knows, so I'll arrange it. The old chamberlain bowed his hand and prepared to retreat.

The old king of Chu thought for a while and called the old chamberlain: "Wait, you arrange for him to meet me once, and the place of meeting will be arranged here." ”

The old chamberlain said yes again, and then withdrew from Huatai.

The old king of Chu who stood by the railing faced Junshan Lake again, he put his hands in his wide sleeves, his face was full of relief, and he muttered: "Big brother, Yi'er is still alive, I know this is your arrangement, don't worry, the rest will be left to me." ”

------

For Jing Song, the eldest son of the Jing family, to come to him in person, Zhao Yi didn't feel much surprised.

Out of professional habits, Zhao Yi almost ran all over Junshan City in the past ten days when he came to Junshan City, openly and secretly got to know Junshan City and the various forces in Chu, and at the same time inquired about the situation of several main armies under the command of the Chu Wangfu.

The combat power of Jing Song's scout battalion is also a first-class army in the entire Chu army, and it is definitely not an idle person to become the commander of such an army.

Zhao Yi and Jing Song had a relationship, and that day he encountered the entanglement of several scoundrels on the street, and it was this eldest son of the Jing family who helped him solve the siege.

Jing Song walked into the courtyard where Zhao Yi lived, and he didn't go into the house to sit, but just stood in the courtyard.

"I'm Jing Song, the captain of the Shenfeng Army Scout Battalion. This is Jing Song's first sentence at the beginning.

Zhao Yi was not rude, he hugged his fists and said: "I have seen General Jing, thank the general for relieving Zhao Yi that day." ”

Jing Song raised his forehead slightly, a pair of tiger eyes hidden in the edge, and stared at Zhao Yi tightly.

"I'm here this time to invite Brother Zhao to join my scout camp. This is Jing Song's second sentence.

Zhao Yi didn't show surprise, nor did he express it immediately, but just met Jing Song's gaze.

To be honest, Zhao Yi doesn't care if he goes to such an army to be a soldier, but he hasn't made up his mind to stay in Jingzhou, first, he doesn't know what his uncle really thinks, and secondly, he still wants to go to Liangzhou to find Jiang Wenyu and Cui Shusheng, and he also has to find out the whereabouts of Wei Xiaoyong.

Zhao Yi's gaze compromised first, and he smiled slightly: "Thank you for the general's kindness, but Zhao Yi can't make a decision yet, please forgive the general." ”

Jing Song seemed to know that Zhao Yi would react like this, but he still bowed his head slightly, and said, "It is the intention of the prince to let you be like me in the scout camp." ”

Zhao Yi looked at Jing Song with a puzzled expression, not understanding what Jing Song meant by saying this.

Jing Song didn't say anything more, and after leaving a sentence of "I've thought of the words to come to me", he turned around and left the courtyard.

After seeing Jing Song leave, Zhao Yi stood at the gate of the courtyard and was stunned for a while, what did Jing Song's last sentence mean? Could it be that his uncle had noticed him? If this is the case, why did he enter the scout camp by himself?

A series of doubts popped up in Zhao Yi's heart, but no matter what he thought, he couldn't get an answer.

In the end, Zhao Yi cleaned up his mood and looked up at the outside of the courtyard again, this Jing family is really a family of soldiers, Lao Tzu's sons are all famous generals, and the daughter who gave birth is not simple, Jinglan's name of "talented woman in the military family" is not called out of thin air, thinking of this girl, Zhao Yi's heart suddenly has mixed feelings.

Thinking of this Jinglan, Zhao Yi suddenly remembered one thing, during this time, he patronized and inquired about the situation of Junshan City and Chu Wangfu, but he forgot about that matter.

When she came all the way from Liangzhou, the girl was always chased and killed by several forces, it must be that she had some secret or something important hidden in her, and she ran to the cold place of Liangzhou as a lady of the Jing family, which was by no means as simple as playing in the mountains and rivers.

It's just that I don't know if Jinglan was instructed by Jinghu to go to Liangzhou, or if she was instructed by the old King of Chu.

Bored at home with nothing to do, Zhao Yi saw that it was still early, so he went out of the yard where he lived, ready to go shopping on the street.
