"PS: After waking up today, I want to take my family to barbecue with others, and I'm afraid that I will be too tired and delay the code word when I come back, so I will stay up late and send the two chapters of liver first, and ask for recommendations~"

———— the following text————

The next morning, the military commander Sima Jingyi sent a team of soldiers to take Teng Hu's body away.

Meng Zhong watched from afar.

I don't know how long later, a familiar voice sounded beside him: "Last night, did you do it?" ”

This voice Meng Zhong is too familiar, but there is a faint strangeness in the familiarity - the former Meng Hu, who has always been hippie and smiling, rarely uses this solemn tone.

Obviously, it was because of his father's death that Menghu, a child who had nothing to do, suddenly matured a lot.

"Nope." Meng Zhong said truthfully: "He died because of his injuries. ”

"Why?" Meng Hu frowned and glanced at Meng Zhong, and said with a little displeasure: "Why don't you start?" ”

Turning his head to look at Meng Hu, Meng Zhong looked at the distant convoy and said softly: "Yes, Uncle Meng Qing finally caught the enemy who killed my brother, but I watched him die because of his injuries...... Hu, are you angry? ”

"It depends on what kind of reason you have." Meng Hu frowned and said: "If it's because of weakness, because I can't bear to do it, Ah Zhong, I will beat you, I will beat you hard." ”

Meng Zhong glanced at Meng Hu when he heard this, and from Meng Hu's serious and serious eyes, he realized that Meng Hu was not joking.

With a long exhale, he sighed, "Is it weak? You've seen me kill at least four of Teng's soldiers in the first battle......"

Meng Hu was stunned, tilted his head and thought about it, and then his tone eased slightly: "What's the reason for that?" ”

"I don't think I'm qualified." Meng Zhong shook his head and sighed.

"Not eligible?" Menghu couldn't understand it.

Seeing this, Meng Zhong explained: "Last night, I had a short conversation with Teng Hu, and through the conversation, I could feel that it was an enemy monarch worthy of respect. …… He is to protect his people, and we are for the Song Kingdom, in order to fulfill the king's order, whether he kills us on the battlefield or we kill him on the battlefield, it is not a thing that can be defined simply by good and evil, right and wrong. …… It's just because of the relationship between my brother-in-law Hui Ang that Uncle Meng Qing gave me the opportunity to kill this person, and Jun Sima also acquiesced to me to kill Teng Hu, what is this? I didn't create Teng Hu at all, and that kind of character shouldn't have died in the hands of an unknown junior like me, which Uncle Meng Qing exchanged for his life. ”

Meng Hu looked at Meng Zhong's eyes when he heard this, and seeing that the latter's eyes were sincere and firm, and there was no intention of evading, he finally showed a few smiles on his face, and said with relief: "Don't say that, if it weren't for your suggestion, Teng Hu wouldn't have been forced to risk going out of the city." …… But don't you feel sorry for that? Missed a chance for revenge? ”

Meng Zhong let out a long breath when he heard this, shook his head and said, "Seeing Teng Hu fall to such an end, I have no regrets in my heart. Brother's hatred, Uncle Meng Qing has already helped me avenge it. …… It should be said that Uncle Meng Qing is helping my brother, and also helping those who were killed by Teng Hu to report, as for me, I am an outsider, the master once said......"

"Stop, stop."

Meng Hu hurriedly stopped Meng Zhong: "I don't want to listen to your Taoist words, it makes people dizzy." ”

After that, he took a deep look at Meng Zhong and said with a smile: "I'm glad that you didn't let Teng Hu go because of temporary weakness and let him die because of his injuries." Don't worry about my father, a man like my father who stands up to the sky and the earth doesn't care about a man who is about to die. ”

After that, he also let out a long breath and asked, "In other words, our grudge with Teng Hu is over?" ”

"Hmm, but our grievances with Teng Guo have not been settled." Meng Zhong said with some heaviness.

Hearing this, Meng Hu snorted lightly: "It's fast, right?" Teng Hu died, and the Teng people no longer had any reliance, believing that only one more wave of offensive would be needed to capture Tengcheng. ”

"Not necessarily." Meng Zhong shook his head and said: "Last night Teng Hu said that he still has two younger brothers, if he dies in battle, then his two younger brothers will inherit the throne of the monarch and continue to lead the Teng people against our army......"

Menghu listened incrediblely.

At this moment, a call came from afar: "Ah Zhong, Ah Hu." ”

Meng Zhong and Meng Hu turned their heads to look, and saw Meng Min holding Meng Heng's arm and walking towards this side—the latter seemed a little reluctant.

"Brother." Meng Zhong and Meng Hu clasped their fists and saluted.

Meng Min smiled and nodded, and then said to Meng Heng, who was a little reluctant: "Hey, Ah Heng." ”

I saw Meng Heng glance at Meng Min angrily, and then looked at Meng Zhong and Meng Hu, and after stopping to speak, he praised: "I saw your performance on the battlefield, Ah Zhong, you did a good job, Ah Hu, you are not bad......"

"What else?" Meng Min urged from the side.

Hearing this, a little annoyance flashed in Meng Heng's eyes, but he finally apologized to Meng Zhong and Meng Hu: "Ah Zhong, Ah Hu, I'm sorry, I left you that day...... I thought you were just weak, but ...... Anyway, I'm underestimating you, and you're capable of crossing that threshold on your own, sorry. ”

Of course, Meng Zhong and Meng Hu didn't care, because they also understood that the anger of the clan brother Meng Heng at that time was only because of "anger and indisputability", and in essence, he also hoped that Meng Zhong and Meng Hu could pass the spiritual hurdle of "killing" by killing the four Teng people.

And now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, there is naturally nothing to do with each other.

The four of them chatted a lot as they walked, and they began to talk about Meng Zhong, after all, they had killed at least four soldiers of Teng State on the battlefield yesterday, so Meng Heng and Meng Min were also worried about Meng Zhong's mood at the moment.

To be honest, because of the fact that Meng Qing and Teng Hu died one after another, Meng Zhong really didn't think about the Teng soldiers who were killed by him at that time - except for the first Teng soldier who was killed by him, he didn't even remember the follow-up, because his head was blank at that time, and he just mechanically followed the instructions given by Meng Hu, where did he remember so much.

Hearing Meng Zhong say this, Meng Min and Meng Heng said one after another: "Forget the good, forget the good, you don't have to remember it at all, remember the faces of those people, but find guilt for yourself." …… Drink some wine, get some sleep, and forget about it in a few days. ”

This is the suggestion of Meng Heng and Meng Min as "seniors", and Meng Zhong humbly accepts it.

Chatting and chatting, the four of them talked about "the former Sima Mengqing", that is, Meng Hu's father, and the two of them tried their best to comfort Meng Hu, but Meng Hu said with a smile: "The two brothers don't need to comfort me, my father is a man who stands up to the sky, even if he dies, he will also die vigorously, and all the Song soldiers and Teng soldiers on the battlefield yesterday will remember my father's name...... That's the man who killed Teng Hu alone! ”

Looking at Meng Hu's proud appearance, Meng Heng and Meng Min looked at each other.

On September 11, the army Sima Jingyu attacked Tengcheng again.

At this time, Teng Hu's younger brother Teng Qi had been recalled by the Teng people from the territory of Qi - Teng Qi originally wanted to go to Qi for help, but he didn't expect that just after crossing the border of Qi, he received the bad news that his brother Teng Hu had died in battle, endured the grief in his heart, and hurriedly returned to Tengcheng.

"Why don't you send troops to the rescue?!"

After Teng Qi returned to Tengcheng and learned about the cause of his brother Teng Hu's death, he, who had always been gentle and elegant, angrily grabbed the placket of the big Sima Bizhan and questioned him viciously.

Bi Zhan couldn't raise his head in shame, but at this time, Teng Qi's younger brother Teng Hao explained: "Brother Ya, this is my brother's order. …… Before leaving the city, my brother told me to defend the city to the death, if he was unfortunately besieged by the Song army, he would find a way to get out by himself, so that we must not send troops to rescue, so as not to be taken advantage of by the Song army, resulting in the loss of Tengcheng......"

"Even so, even so......"

Teng Qi slowly let go of his hand, speechless with sadness.

On the side, Qiu Liang, the Juzi of the Mo family, also sighed, and explained on behalf of Bi Zhan: "At that time, the situation was difficult, and Bi Sima blocked the Song army in the city, and the city was ...... There were no spare troops to rescue Teng Hou. ”

Teng Qi was silent.

After a while, Teng Hao whispered: "Brother Ya, my brother has a life before his death, if he unfortunately dies in battle, you will be the monarch of my Teng country." ”

Hearing this, Teng Qi took a deep breath and looked around at everyone around him.

He knew that the death of his brother Teng Hu in battle had left everyone without a master, and he had to cheer up and continue to protect Teng Guo instead of his brother.

However, before that, he must first ask Song Jun for the body of his brother Teng Hu, lest his brother's body be insulted by the Song people.

So he took a deep breath and said, "Send someone to the Song army camp and ask for my brother's body......"

Hearing this, Qiu Liang, the Mo family's juzi, took the initiative to say, "Please let me go and retrieve Tenghou's body." …… My Mo family has a bit of a thin face after all. ”

"Then please Juzi." Teng Qi said gratefully.

On the same day, Teng held a simple ceremony, and Teng Qi succeeded him as the monarch of Teng.

And Qiu Liang, the Juzi of the Mo family, came to the Song army with a few disciples and met the military Sima Jingyi.

I have to say that Jing Yu actually hates these Mo family disciples, because it was because these Mo family disciples were helping Teng Guo that he spent more than two years failing to capture Teng Guo.

But he didn't dare to detain Qiu Liang, let alone kill him, after all, people came to ask for Teng Hu's body, if he killed him, not only would the Mo family in the world regard him as an enemy, but even Confucianism would accuse him and attack him.

During this period, Jing Wei asked Qiu Liang: "Is Tengcheng willing to surrender?" ”

Qiu Liang shook his head and said truthfully: "Teng Qi also succeeded Teng Hou and will continue to resist the unjust war of the Song army. ”

With these words, Jing Yu wanted to kill Qiu Liang with a sword, but considering that the other party was the son of the Mo family, Jing Wei did not have the courage, so he said to Qiu Liang: "Please allow me to ask the king." ”

Seeing this, Qiu Liang said: "Please allow me to be used as a hostage in exchange for Teng Hou's corpse, if the King of Song blames you for this in the future, Qiu Liang can die and appease the anger of the King of Song." ”

Jing Yu was entangled by Qiu Liang and had no choice, and finally agreed to the matter.

About three or four days later, Song Wangyan, who was in Pengcheng, received Jing Hui's battle report, and only then did he learn that Teng Hu was dead.

Song Wangyan, who was ecstatic about this, immediately took Hui Ang and personally led a royal division to Tengcheng.

In Song Wangyan's view, as soon as Teng Hu died, Teng would no longer be able to resist his Song army.
