There are many people with the surname He in the capital. There are more than a dozen officials with the surname He. However, when the surname He is mentioned, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind must be the Pingguo Gonghe family.

Among the three princes and four marquis, the Pingguo Mansion ranks first.

The first Pingguo Gong followed Gaozu to raise troops and made great achievements. Gaozu gave the hereditary title and the Danshu iron coupon, and ordered the Duke of Pingguo to take charge of 100,000 border troops and sit in the border pass.

Two hundred years after the founding of the Great Chu Dynasty, the throne was changed, and Emperor Xuanhe was the tenth son of heaven. The title of Duke of Pingguo has also been passed down for two hundred years.

Today's Pingguo Gong He Rin, who is about forty years old, is not too old for military generals. It will not be a problem to hold out at the border for another five or eight years.

According to the practice of Great Chu, after the eldest son of the prince of Pingguo became married and had a son, he could invite the prince to be crowned and lead the troops to battle. This is also for the inheritance of the incense of the generals and nobles. The sword has no eyes on the battlefield, and if you are wounded or killed in battle, you will not lose your blood.

Pingguo Gong has many sons, from the eldest son to the youngest son who was born in the border last year, a total of five sons. was originally married to a son-in-law, but there was only one, ranking third among the men of the He family's generation.

He Sangongzi is famous in the capital, and he is not weaker than the famous and powerful Pingguo Gong! It's just that this reputation doesn't sound very good.

Fighting cocks and horses, spending money like dirt, bullying others.

Arrogant and frivolous, irritable, and domineering.

can be called the first gentleman of the Great Chu Dynasty!

Things are gathered by like, and people are grouped. The people who mingle with He Sangongzi every day are naturally not much better. For example, Jiang Liugongzi of the Weiguo Mansion, such as Ye Sigongzi of the Yasukuni Mansion, and then Zhu Ergongzi of the Pingxi Hou Mansion and so on.

For example, all the noble families have deep roots and many children and grandchildren, and it is normal to have a few ruined children.

However, none of them are the eldest sons, and it is not their turn to inherit the title to support the family business. Idle wandering and bullying men and women and other trivial things, the elders in the family simply turn a blind eye. Go to the Qinglou, drink flowers, wine, ride horses, hunt or something, go with them!

He Sangongzi is different.

Although there are many sons of Pingguo Gong, he is the only one who has the original concubine. If there is no accident, after he becomes his own son, he will ask the court to be crowned the prince and lead the army. In the future, he will inherit the title of Duke of Pingguo and take charge of the border army and sit in the border pass......

Thinking about it like this, even the people of the capital can't be calm.

How could the 100,000 border troops of the Great Chu Dynasty stationed at the border pass to defend the country be handed over to such a gentleman!

Of course, for such a major event, Emperor Xuanhe and the He family on their own dragon chair are worried about it, and it is not the turn of the people to speak. However, the infamous reputation of He Sangongzi can be seen.

……

In his previous life, before Cheng Jinrong was eighteen years old, he only heard of He Sangongzi's name, and the two had never met and never intersected.

Later, she was replaced by a stand-in out of the prison, disguised, and fled the capital in a panic. By her side, only licorice is by her side.

The master and servant, both young women, rushed to the road with stars and moons, attracting the attention of a group of thieves. Seven or eight thieves followed along the way, trying to rob the property. Licorice alone is difficult to defeat all the thieves, and the master and servant are about to fall into the hands of the thieves.

At this moment, a young man led dozens of guards to appear, the long knife flashed with cold light, and in a few glances, the thief was killed cleanly.

Dark clouds obscured it, the night was moonless, and there were only a few sparse and dim starlight.

The cold and bloody killings were also covered by the night.

The young man dressed in black, the long knife in his hand kept dripping blood, and the killing intent in his black eyes had not completely faded. It's terrifying.

"Thank you for the rescue." She was shocked, and stepped forward to thank her: "I don't know the benefactor's surname?" If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely repay my son for saving his life! ”

When she raised her eyes, she was startled by the hideous scar on the face of the young man in black.

The scar, slanted from the forehead to the chin, the scar had not yet healed, and the flesh was slightly turned out, becoming more and more hideous. The boy's right eye was covered by a black blindfold, and one of his eyes was apparently dead.

At a quick glance, the black-clothed young man was full of ferocity, like a wolf that had been hit hard.

She didn't show a look of horror and disgust like the others, the young man in black's cruel face softened slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Do it casually, don't take it to heart." ”

Then, the young man in black turned over and rode away.

Dozens of guards also rode away.

She stood there for a moment, and when she turned around, she suddenly stepped on a hard object under her feet. When I picked it up, I realized that it was a piece of mutton fat jade.

The high-quality mutton fat jade pendant is worth a thousand gold.

The jade pendant is slightly cool, round and smooth in the hand, and shimmers with a luster in the dark night. On the jade pendant, there is a congratulatory word engraved.

It turned out that the surname of the life-saving benefactor was He.

She silently put away the jade pendant and continued to hurry with licorice overnight.

I thought that she and her life-saving benefactor only had this one-sided relationship. Unexpectedly, a year later, she and him met again.

At that time, the border pass was invaded by Tatar cavalry, and the Tatar cavalry burned and looted everywhere. Everywhere the cavalry passed, floating corpses were everywhere, like hell on earth.

Her father, Cheng Wang, led away the cavalry, and she hid in the dark passage of the well with tears in her eyes. Later, when everything had subsided, she came out of the well, and her father had died from the arrow.

Next to his father's corpse, there were also the corpses of more than a dozen Tatar cavalrymen. The corpses were all killed by sharp knives, and the corpses were separated and died in a miserable state.

The black-clothed young man with an eyepatch on his right eye and a hideous scar on his face, the long knife in his hand was stained with blood and flashed with a frightening cold light.

She knelt beside her father's body and wept.

The black-clothed boy held the long knife and stopped beside her for a moment. Then he said in a deep voice: "I'm sorry, I was one step too late and failed to save Doctor Cheng's life." ”

"The border is in chaos, and the day is precarious. You go with me! At the very least, I can save you your life! ”

She reverted to her old attire, and he didn't recognize who she was.

Perhaps, he never took the matter of saving her life a year ago to heart. In his eyes, she is Rong Jin, a distant niece who came all the way to Cheng Wang.

She raised her red and swollen eyes, and said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you Gongzi He for your kindness." I'm not going anywhere, I'm just staying here. ”

She was burdened with a deep hatred of blood, changed her name and surname, and lived secretly. The identity is not visible, and it cannot drag down the life-saving evildoer.

The black-clothed young man was silent for a moment and said in a low voice, "Actually, I also have nowhere to go. ”

The border pass was trampled by Tatar iron cavalry, Pingguo Gong was killed in battle, 100,000 border troops were defeated, and countless casualties were inflicted. Emperor Xuande was forced to be helpless and ceded half of the country in exchange for a temporary Gou'an.

The He family became the sinners of the Great Chu Dynasty, and was scolded by thousands of people! The whole door was beheaded, and the nine clans were connected!

He has been hiding at the border pass, and only then did he escape.

The He family is gone, and the He family, whether they love him or hate him, have gone to the underground of Huangquan. He was left alone in the world. There were only a few dozen loyal guards around him.

How to avenge the country and the family?

What's the point of living like this?
