At twilight, the sunset is like blood.

Qingshan is still the same, but at this time, it seems that there is some silence. Henggu spanned the land of Jiangning for thousands of years, and it was accustomed to seeing countless joys and sorrows, and human feelings were scattered. Now, the green smoke that stands and rises is just a story for it.

"Let's go, let's go home!"

The cold wind blew, and the ashes of the grass and trees were blown one after another. A few pieces of ash fell on the cyan robe. Lu Heng raised his hand and gently dusted off the ashes. Raise your head and look at the sky above the mountains, the remnant sun like blood. Seeing that in the remnant sun, a group of wild geese returning from the south, like a dream, passed leisurely in the sunset.

He took a deep breath, turned around, reached out and patted Agui on the shoulder, said a word, and turned around and walked towards the city.

Behind him, Ah Gui put the small ash altar into the cloth bag he carried, picked up the sword, and followed Lu Heng towards the city.

Along the way, both were somewhat silent.

Lu Heng walked in front, and Ah Gui followed behind.

"Childe, you say, why do people live?" Maybe it was because I saw the woman who was very affectionate, and the soul was broken. Rao is Agui's such a bold surname, and he can't help but sigh a little.

Lu Heng stopped, turned around, and glanced at Ah Gui.

"Hehe, seeing that woman died like that, Agui also felt it." Agui scratched his head and smiled a little shyly.

"This problem?" Lu Heng smiled and thought for a while, but he didn't know how to answer. He smiled a little helplessly: "This question, it's hard to say!" ”

"People live to do meaningful things!" I thought I was going to bypass this, but when I saw Agui's eyes wide open, it seemed that he was waiting for his answer. After Lu Heng thought about it, he smiled and quoted a line from a TV series in later generations.

"Meaningful?" When Agui heard this answer, he was still at a loss. He scratched his head and thought about it, but he still couldn't figure it out.

Lu Heng smiled and stepped forward, "Something meaningful, to put it mildly, it is to make your family live a better life." Let your daughter-in-law be able to have enough food and clothing, and be proud of you in front of people. Give your sister a beautiful dress. As Lu Heng walked, he said lightly: "If you say it bigger, it will be for the country and the people!" ”

"Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations." Lu Heng's footsteps stopped slightly, raised his head, glanced at Jiangning City bathed in the sunset in front of him, and after thinking about it, he said lightly.

"These things all have meaning!" Seeing Ah Gui's eyes wide and blinking, he seemed to be a little confused by what he had just said.

Lu Heng thought about it, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

Coughing, compressing the meaning to the extreme, Lu Heng thought about it, looked at Agui, and said with a smile: "In general, the most meaningful thing is to live well!" Only by living well can we do meaningful things. ”

After that, seeing that Ah Gui's eyes lit up, as if he understood something, Lu Heng smiled, put his hands behind his back, and walked forward.

Under the sunset, on the side of the ancient road, two oblique shadows ...... one in front of the other.

It wasn't until she got home that the woman's shyness and the familiar uncle made the melancholy in the air invisible.

"Such a big man! How do you make yourself like a child every time you go out! "At the door of the firewood, the light of the lantern is dim and faint. Liu Qingqing looked at Lu Heng, saw that he was covered in weeds and ashes, glared at him with beautiful eyes, and said with disgust.

"Heh, I sent a friend out of the city!" Lu Heng quietly looked at the woman's beautiful cheeks and said with a soft smile.

"Oh!" Liu Qingqing was so smart, seeing the faint sadness that flashed in Lu Heng's eyes, he knew in his heart that his uncle seemed to be a little unhappy.

She just let out an obedient oh and didn't ask for details.

"Far away!" The woman raised her hand and asked softly while carefully plucking the blades of grass on Lu Heng's body.

"Hmm!" Lu Heng nodded, lowered his head, looked at the woman's cheeks close at hand, and smelled the calming faint fragrance on her body. He sighed softly in his heart, stretched out his hand, and stopped her waist. Take her into your arms.

"Send her away, thousands of miles away. Silent black and white! Lu Heng sniffed the woman's fragrance deeply, and a bitter smile flashed on his face. He sighed deeply and said lightly.

In her arms, the woman's delicate body trembled slightly. She could feel it, uncle's heart.

Especially after hearing my uncle say this sentence lightly, send you away, thousands of miles away, silently black and white. She suddenly understood something.

The little hand patted lightly on the back, buried his head in the uncle's broad chest, and whispered, "It's good to come back!" ”

…… In the early morning, the rising sun said, shooting out ten thousand golden lights.

The eastern sky, the brilliant clouds, were inlaid with a golden edge by the golden sunlight.

The sun pierced through the clouds and sprinkled on the land of Jiangning.

Pushing open the door, the accustomed one looked towards the west wing.

As always, the slender shadow is like a lotus flower blooming in the beginning, bright and moving.

"Uncle!" The woman smiled, looked at the scholar who pushed the door out, refreshed, bowed slightly, and said with a shallow smile.

In the fourth year of the Great Zhou Qingyuan, winter, small year, the rising sunrise said, the warm wind blows. The blue shadow dances lightly.

After breakfast, I went out. Before he reached the mouth of the alley, he saw Ah Gui beside him pointing ahead, holding back a smile, and said to Lu Heng: "Childe, isn't that Xu Liang?" ”

Hearing this, Lu Heng looked in the direction pointed by Agui, and sure enough, in the bright light, General Yang was squatting under the root of the south wall, his gloves in his sleeves, basking in the sun absentmindedly.

Lu Heng stopped, groped his chin, and glanced at General Yan's demeanor.

Seeing him raise his sleeves from time to time and wipe the frozen snot, heh, it seems that he has been waiting here for a long time.

Lu Heng smiled, walked over, and said, "General Zhen!" ”

Hearing this, Xu Liang jumped up excitedly and saw the scholar in front of him. He smiled bitterly and said, "Strategist, you can be regarded as coming out!" The villain has been waiting for you for a long time! ”

"Urgent?" Lu Heng looked at the anxious look on Xu Liang's face and asked lightly.

Xu Liang nodded, clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "Lu Yushi invited the prince to the food for the immortal gathering, saying that there is something important to discuss!" ”

…… Food is a fairy!

The downstairs was full of people, and the noise was endless.

The juniors carried the plates and wandered among the various tables, shouting loudly and reporting the names of the dishes.

The upstairs private room has a slightly different atmosphere. It is in stark contrast to the lively scene downstairs.

"According to the people below, these days, in some counties of Jiangning. There are a lot of Dongying people! Lu Yushi frowned, thought carefully, and said.

"Moreover, the daughter of King Jin, the county lord of Sanssouci has also come to Jiangning!" Lu Yushi is in charge of the nightingale, and intelligence is naturally his strength. He knew exactly who was coming and who was leaving.

"What do you think, sir?" said this, in fact, the main reason was to listen to Lu Heng's thoughts.

"Oh, I know!" Lu Heng was sipping tea while looking at the lively street scene downstairs, and when he heard Lu Yushi asking, Lu Heng smiled, put down the teacup and nodded.

Lu Yushi didn't expect Lu Heng to answer him like this. Looking at Lu Heng's gaze for a while, he was a little stunned.

However, seeing Lu Heng holding tea, he looked at himself with a smile.

Lu Yushi shook his head with a wry smile, and after putting down the teacup, he said helplessly: "According to the nightingale's return, it seems that the King of Jin is meddling in the matter of the imperial merchant recently!" Your Majesty is angry! ”

"And ......" Lu Yushi lowered his voice, leaned in front of Lu Heng, and said in a low voice: "Moreover, according to intelligence, in the recent period, King Jin has had several contacts with the An family in the northwest!" ”

"Judging from these, King Jin, I'm afraid it's ......" Lu Yushi's face was very ugly, and he said suspiciously.

"Does Huang Yanjing know about this?" After thinking about it, Lu Heng picked up the teacup, took a sip, and asked lightly.

Lu Yushi glanced at Lu Heng, lowered his head, and shook his head slightly.

"Why didn't you tell the Emperor?" Lu Heng put down the teacup, looked at Lu Yushi, who had his head down and looked a little hesitant, and asked lightly.

Lu Yushi thought about it and shook his head with a wry smile. sighed and said bitterly: "Your Majesty has a total of nine sons, three of whom have been given death more than ten years ago. In the past ten years, another prince has died! The rest, only the crown prince and the king of Jin, heh, there are a few unsuccessful princes! ”

Lu Yushi said this cautiously, especially when talking about the dead princes, his expression was even more cautious.

However, even if he was so cautious, Lu Heng also knew that the death of those princes should not be a natural death. It is likely that they were executed for committing a royal taboo.

None of this worked, though. Lu Heng was still waiting for Lu Yushi's next words.

"King Jin has been extremely smart since he was a child, and he is knowledgeable. Deeply loved by His Majesty. Originally, His Majesty wanted to make King Jin the crown prince. However, because of the queen's obstruction at that time, King Jin did not become the prince! Lu Yushi took a sip of wine and said in a low voice.

Hearing Lu Yushi's words, Lu Heng smiled secretly in his heart.

From this point of view, the rumored emperor's thoughts about the queen seem to be rumors!

As for why the queen can intervene in the prince's affairs.

Lu Heng also knows a little about this matter.

It seems that His Majesty's ascension to the throne back then was with the help of the power of the queen's lineage. Moreover, the hidden things in it are not to be seen.

Therefore, in order to hide the secret, the emperor could only agree to the queen's words.

"What about the King of Huainan?" Lu Heng thought for a moment and asked.

It seems that Wu Ningyuan's reputation was extremely high back then, and he held heavy troops, which can be said to be the power of the government and the opposition. Such a character should be able to enter the emperor's sight.

"Hehe, Your Majesty said that the King of Huainan is too sharp, and besides, the Great Zhou rules the world with literature, although the King of Huainan is extremely famous, he is a military general after all. If he comes to power, the literati of the world will inevitably oppose it. Your Majesty is worried about the temper of King Huainan, and I am afraid that it will be another book-burning pit Confucian! ”
