The General and His Enemy Your Highness

The day when the Xixia envoys entered Yong'an was a bright and sunny day.

Although Da Chu didn't welcome them at all, he still gave the other party face as well as himself, so he welcomed the envoys into the palace in a proper manner and hosted a banquet for them.

As the king of Xiping, Mei Geng, who also attended the dinner, saw the person he wanted to kill very much in his previous life and this life - he never had that chance in his previous life.

General of Xixia, Jiang Rong.

Jiang Rong was tall and rough, past forty years old, with a large-breasted robe embroidered with deer horns, a machete hanging from his waist, and a round raised scar on his left face.

The surname Jiang belongs to the royal family. He is the elder brother of Jiang Jin, Queen of Xixia, and has half father.He was in command of the battle of Jinwuling this time. This man was extremely ruthless. When the battle started, the head of a Chu army was planted on the battle flag to deter the unarmed Chu army. He is like a gangster, showing no mercy to the people, burning, killing, looting, raping and prostitution of women, his evil deeds are beyond description.

What makes Mei Geng even more upset is that he failed to kill this old bastard in his previous life.

He even wondered what kind of breed the last queen of Xixia was, who could actually give birth to such vicious children.

Beside Jiang Rong was a young girl who didn't talk much, her face was covered, only showing a pair of beautiful eyes, dignified and dignified, she rarely spoke, and on the other side was an elderly woman, her dead fish eyes were rather gloomy.

If seeing Jiang Rong made Mei Geng unhappy, then not seeing Chu Ce who insisted on going back to the palace at the dinner party made the already low spirits depressed a little bit.

But in the eyes of other people, it has another meaning.

It was tacitly understood by everyone that almost most of the Mei family's generals who died in battle were killed by Jiang Rong, and King Xiping naturally did not want to see this so-called Xixia envoy.

However, Mei Geng did not intend to have any conflicts with Jiang Rong. Although he hated this person extremely, there was no point in entangled with him at this moment.

It's a pity that there are always people who take the initiative to provoke him. At a glance, Jiang Rong saw that the seat arrangement was as noble as a prince and a prince. I am afraid that no one doubts the literati who dance with words.

And he had personally seen that man's ferocious wolf-like side, killing people with a single sweep of the spear, and the blood blooming on the tip of the spear was extremely beautiful.

Although they are their own masters, it is obvious that the two cannot appreciate each other, and they even wish to wring each other's head off and feed it to the dogs.

"Little General Mei, we meet again." Jiang Rong didn't smile, but sneered.

Mei Geng was stunned for a moment, and a strong sternness welled up in his eyes. He raised his lips and said with a smile: "My lord envoy is careful, this is not a battlefield, so I should call my lord."

Even if he was a young hero, Mei Geng suffered a lot from this old and cunning bastard. Unfortunately, if he did it all over again, Mei Geng was sure to beat him into a turtle shell.

Jiang Rong was stunned. Although the prince of Da Chu had the idea of ​​being crowned king, Mei Geng was not a member of the royal family. He thought that after the defeat in the Northwest War, the Mei family's military power would be taken back, but he didn't expect that Mei Geng, a yellow prince, would Boy Mao actually succeeded to the throne, and he sneered suddenly: "The prince of Da Chu is actually a little baby who can only win battles."

At this moment, the faces of the Chu people present were not very good, and even Chu Hengzhi's face was also downcast. This was clearly humiliating Chu in public!That is to humiliate the emperor.

The Northwest War was disgraceful no matter what, even if it wasn't Mei Geng's fault, it was Da Chu's own internal turmoil, which made it impossible to suppress external worries.

Before the civil servant could use his sharp tongue, Mei Geng sneered lightly: "Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, not to mention that the king still has a lot of time, but the general should take good care of himself, so that in a few years, the king will not be dead." To collect debts from you, I will die first."

The complacent look on Jiang Rong's face completely dissipated, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak. He didn't expect that the kid would be so arrogant after losing the battle.

The prince watched the two bickering with great interest, wondering why Jiang Rong didn't get up and cut that kid Mei Geng?

The other princes didn't say anything, but Jiang Rong didn't come to quarrel after all. Although he was born rough, he was not a reckless man. .”

Mei Geng smiled without saying a word, but his eyes were poisonously cold.

Anyone who sees the enemy of two lifetimes can't feel like a spring breeze.

Jiang Rong squinted his eyes, he could see the young man's cruelty, what kind of vicious person he hadn't seen?But the frozen eyes of this young Wang with a different surname still made him feel like a light on his back.

Even when they met on the battlefield, Mei Geng was still a brave young general, and he never gave him such a cold feeling like falling into an ice cave.

Then there was a strange excitement again, how many years had no one made him feel this dangerous?

-

Chu Ce, who didn't show up for the whole dinner, nestled in the bedroom, stirring the porridge with a clear soup and little water with a porcelain spoon.

It was clear that there was Mei Geng coaxing him to eat with tenderness and sweetness yesterday, but today he was alone here facing the bland things, the candles were not even lit in the hall, the faint sigh of the young man could be heard, and the sarcasm was hidden under the darkness.

As soon as he returned to the palace, someone couldn't help but stumble, and refused to even give him a bowl of hot porridge.

Wu Wei, who was serving with him, also had an ugly expression, sighed and said: "Your Highness, the old slave will go to the imperial dining room to have a look?"

Wuwei was very complicated. Although Xiping Palace had a wolf with a big tail, at least that wolf knew how to feed the kittens.

Seeing how difficult His Highness is, I feel that King Xiping is not so hideous.

Chu Kitten shook his head lightly: "No need."

Anyway, it's useless to go.

If it wasn't for someone's instruction, even if he was an unappreciated prince, he wouldn't be living in such misery.

Chu Ce misses the days of the palace a little bit, and he doesn't know whether it's the warm porridge or the person who feeds the porridge.

Tuk Tuk Tuk.

There was an abrupt knock on the door, and there was only one Wuwei around Chu Ce, and no one would notify anyone who came—but usually no one would come.

Chu Ce frowned, someone who came to the door must be looking for trouble.

What's more, the time is almost over, who would come here to catch up with him so idle?

Chu Ce was worried. After all, he had no power at this moment. If someone really wanted to do something to him, even if he was killed quietly in the middle of the night, no one would come to rescue him.

A moment later, there was a frivolous laughter outside the door, full of malice.

"Five emperors brother, don't you want to keep your brother out?"

It was Chu Luo, that tough smiling snake.

As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't say anything else, he just pushed the door open and walked in. The luxurious and noble silver robe was wrapped in moonlight, and there was a coldness, and even the soft smile on his face made Chu Ce feel a little hideous.

Chu Ce glanced at Wuwei, who was about to block him with an ugly face, and signaled the latter not to act rashly. Chu Luo was not the lawless and brainless Chu Yan, so he would not kill him openly in the palace, but if Wuwei provoked him, If you get angry, this poisonous snake will be really dangerous.

Then he stood up, lowered his eyes as obediently and calmly as before, and called softly: "His Royal Highness Luo."

A respectful title that is neither close nor close, but Chu Luo couldn't hear the slightest respect from these few words, as if he just said it casually.

The smile on his face remained unchanged, and he suddenly took a step closer.

Chu Ce took a step back, still keeping his eyes down and saying nothing.

"Ah."

Chu Luo laughed, with a bit of indifference, Chu Ce, who lowered his eyes, didn't see the pity and playfulness in his eyes, but within a few breaths, he actually pulled away.

"The dinner party is over, Brother Fifth, please be careful."

Chu Ce: "..."

This reminder was more like taking pleasure in others' misfortune, and Chu Ce was even more disturbed. The trajectory of his fate had begun to deviate, and he was not sure whether he could pass the test safely.

"Your Highness Fifth?" Wu Wei was also worried, but Chu Ce said in a low voice with a cold face: "Today the palace gate is closed, go find Mei Geng quickly."

"But you..."

"Go." Chu Ce interrupted him in a cold voice, his face was indescribably cold and serious, his face was tense, his hands inside his sleeves were clenched into fists, and his knuckles were turning white.

Chu Luo won't come over to scare him for no reason, I'm afraid this bastard has done something again, or...he knows something.

Seeing this, Wuwei couldn't resist him, and knew that it was useless for him to stay, so he gritted his teeth, turned around and left.

The hall was dead silent, Chu Ce sat in the sleeping hall, empty and dark, panic spread in his heart, and his bloodless cheeks turned pale.

Until the sound of footsteps outside, Chu Ce knew that there were many people, so he closed his eyes and forced himself to calm down.

The moment the door was opened, Chu Ce felt chills all over his body. Looking up, he saw a few figures outside the door by the moonlight.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in brocade attire entered the door calmly, with his arms around his shoulders, he raised his chin and stared at him with a haughty look, and his eyes were filled with disgust and coldness.

And behind him was a burly man with a bluish-gray stubble on his chin, a scar on his cheek, and a rough robe with a wide waist. His eyes were burning with astonishment and disgusting excitement. Chu Ce's eyes suddenly Let it cool down.

It's him!

Jiang Rong.

Chu Ce in this life naturally didn't know him, but in his previous life, Chu Ce had dealt with him several times - Chu State, Mei Geng and the tragic ending of his previous life were caused by this person.

In an instant, the blood in his whole body was almost frozen, and he didn't even notice that two women in Xixia costumes followed behind the door. Instead, he stared fixedly at Jiang Rong, the coldness and hatred in his eyes almost condensed into substance.

Seeing that Chu Ce didn't look pitifully trembling with panic and fear as expected, but instead looked like a cat whose tail had been trampled on, pretending to be vicious as if its fur had blown off, Jiang Rong rubbed his chin with great interest, and asked in a deep voice: "you know me?"

More than knowing.

Chu Ce came back to his senses, and almost immediately suppressed the emotions in his eyes, as if everything just now was just an illusion, and the hands clenched into fists in his sleeves began to tremble.

If you come uninvited, you must have bad intentions.

The situation is not good.

Chu Ce thought secretly, then turned his face away as if he was enduring fear, and spoke with a slight trembling voice:

"do not know."
