Heaven

"Then what do you think of the two of us?"

"How about what?" Jing Mingrui asked in surprise.

Ji Kongqing said these words by accident, almost regretted not biting off his tongue immediately.

He tried his best to concentrate, looked into Jing Mingrui's eyes, and said slowly: "Then do you think I can stand side by side with you and join hands in this life?"

Jing Mingrui stared blankly at Ji Kongqing.

Ji Kongqing had said everything she wanted to say, so she might as well break the jar.He smiled and said, "Why are you standing there? Jing Xiaojuan, I said I like you, what do you say?"

The expression on Jing Mingrui's face began to change, he seemed to have finally confirmed that the other party was not joking, and his expression changed from surprise to doubt, and then became a little gloomy.

Ji Kongqing had thought about many possibilities for many days, but he never thought that Jing Mingrui would show a slight disgust towards him when he heard his confession?Was it really hated?Ji Kongqing smiled wryly in her heart.

Jing Mingrui spoke with difficulty: "Brother Ji, I think although..."

"Hahahaha——" Ji Kongqing burst into laughter suddenly, "Jing Xiaojuan, I was joking with you! Look at you, you are really scared by me, right?" He laughed so hard that he seemed to be choking, tears Instantly flowed down.

Jing Mingrui suddenly felt a pain in his heart, stepped forward to grab Ji Kongqing's hand, and stroked his back.

He licked his lips, thought about his words, and then said solemnly: "Brother Ji, you are very good, you have always been the most important one in my heart. It may be that I am naturally cold-tempered, and I have never said anything about this aspect." interest."

Jing Mingrui paused, seeing the smile on Ji Kongqing's face that was about to cry, his heart ached.He held Ji Kongqing's hand tightly: "Isn't it good for the two of us to be lifelong confidants? As long as it's not this, I can give you whatever you want!"

Seeing Jing Mingrui's distorted expression and pained face, Ji Kongqing immediately felt reluctant to let him worry about this matter any longer.

Anyway, I didn't expect to be accepted by him.Being able to stay by Mingrui's side for the rest of my life, why not be a confidant?

Ji Kongqing showed a comforting smile: "Mingrui, I just lost my mind for a while, don't take what I said today, just pretend I didn't say it."

Jing Mingrui still wanted to explain.

But Ji Kongqing patted the back of his hand, turned around and said goodbye to go out to patrol the camp.

The Chu army approached Daliang day by day, but Jing Mingrui became more and more troubled day by day.

From then on, Ji Kongqing talked and behaved as usual, as if the confession that day was just Jing Mingrui's dream.

But Jing Mingrui began to feel uneasy in his heart, and really wanted to have a good talk with him again.

Helplessly, Ji Kongqing, as the captain of the guards, arranged a shift for himself, and since then, he has never been on duty in the internal account.If you want him to discuss relationship issues in front of everyone outside, even with Jing Mingrui's thick skin, he really can't open his mouth.

On this day, the two Chu armies finally joined forces 20 miles outside Daliang City, and confronted the [-] miscellaneous troops that Wei Guo had managed to gather together.

"Fifth brother!" Jing Mingquan entered the big tent with a smile.

Jing Mingrui looked up at him, he was fine and he was not injured.He nodded weakly at Jing Mingquan: "Ah Quan is here."

Jing Mingquan moved a stool by himself and sat down, with a concerned expression on his face, he said, "Fifth Brother, I heard that you were injured, is it serious? You really look a bit sleepy."

The assassination of Jing Mingrui by Princess Jinhong was not rumored because she was afraid that the people's hearts would be shaken. Jing Mingrui just sent someone to arrest her secretly, and asked the officials in the northern province to appease and monitor the local Koreans.

Jing Mingquan was the landlord of Tingfeng and was in charge of intelligence work, so he got the news of Jing Mingrui's assassination.He worried about this for a long time, so he asked about Jing Mingrui's injury as soon as he entered the door.

Jing Mingrui said in his heart that his sickness was not due to the previous injury, he sighed and said, "Good morning, I didn't even leave a scar."

Jing Mingquan said bitterly: "It's a pity that my people searched everywhere and couldn't find any trace of that bitch, otherwise I would definitely catch her back and cut her into pieces to calm Fifth Brother!"

Jing Mingrui waved his hand: "Leave her alone, she won't be successful. I'm afraid she's gone to Wuman's place now. But what's the matter with you this time?"

Jing Mingquan secretly made up his mind that he must send more people to sneak into Wuman's territory to find out Princess Jinhong.

As soon as he mentioned today's business, Jing Mingquan immediately said in a serious manner: "Wei Guo sent the second prince Wei Wuyou to negotiate a peace, I brought him here, did you see me?"

Jing Mingrui was aroused a bit of interest: "Oh? What conditions are they willing to offer?"

Jing Mingquan said with a smile: "The state of Wei is willing to give gold and silver property to make up for the loss of the Great Chu. The land where the Wuman outside the country is now occupied by our army is considered the territory of the state of Chu. They want us to withdraw from the territory of the state of Wei completely. I am willing to cede the three westernmost cities to Da Chu."

Jing Mingrui shook his head: "Wei Houcong is too confused, is he talking about this condition?"

Jing Mingquan said: "That's why he asked the price first, and waited for us to bargain slowly on the spot. I think he wants to delay the army. We are talking here, and their southern army will arrive soon?"

Jing Mingrui raised his eyebrows: "Let Xia Qi take his people to the front of the battle tomorrow, remember to ask him to bring all the guys at the bottom of the box, and let Wei Houcong also see that I might kill him if I'm not happy Daliang City."

Jing Mingquan clapped his palms and said, "It makes sense. The Wei Wuyou I see is much more cunning than his brother. If you don't give him some flair, I'm afraid you won't be able to restrain him."

"By the way, fifth brother, why did you let fifth sister-in-law stand outside in the wind and rain? I really don't know how to be sympathetic." As soon as Jing Mingquan finished his business, he immediately returned to his hippie smile and started joking with Jing Mingrui.

As soon as Ji Kongqing was mentioned, Jing Mingrui immediately started to have a headache again.

He squinted his eyes to look at his younger brother, and suddenly felt that maybe Jing Mingquan could give him some advice in this regard?

"Brother Ji confessed his love to me a few days ago." Jing Mingrui suddenly said indifferently.

"!" Jing Mingquan was startled, "Fifth brother, I always thought you were just slow-moving. So you've been waiting for the beauty to come after you? Fifth sister-in-law is really good-natured, she's willing to do this, thinking back then I... He suddenly stopped, wishing he could tear his mouth.

Jing Mingrui didn't seem to pay attention to what he said, and sighed: "I rejected it."

"!!" Jing Mingquan was dumbfounded, "Fifth brother, do you actually already have a sweetheart?"

Jing Mingrui shook his head: "How is it possible?"

Jing Mingquan asked: "Then fifth brother, don't you like Brother Ji? He is nice."

Jing Mingrui shook his head more resolutely, and smiled bitterly: "How could I not like him?"

Jing Mingquan said weakly, "Then why did you refuse?"

Jing Mingrui bit his lip, recalling his tangled thoughts at that time: "My feelings for him, isn't that kind of feeling?"

Jing Mingquan almost wanted to hit the wall: "Then how did Brother Wu know? Have you ever tried 'that kind of feeling'?"

Jing Mingrui continued to shake his head: "No."

Jing Mingquan was determined to enlighten his elder brother, he took a deep breath: "Then do you have the same feelings for Brother Ji as you do for me?"

Jing Mingrui felt that he was here to practice shaking his head today.

"Is that the same as your friend? Like Lao Gao or Xia Qi?"

Jing Mingrui continued his neck movement.

"Is that the same as what you did to Father?"

Jing Mingrui violently shook his head in horror.

"Isn't that the same as being different for everyone?"

Jing Mingrui suddenly stopped shaking his neck, thought for a moment, and nodded.

Jing Mingquan began to pull out his hair: "Then fifth brother, how do you know that you don't like Brother Ji like a lover?"

Jing Mingrui hesitated and said, "When I think of love and love, I always feel a sense of resistance and disgust. But when I think of Brother Ji, I always feel very happy."

"Fifth... Fifth Brother, you should think about it for yourself. I personally think that you really like Fifth Sister-in-law." Jing Mingquan beat his head hard, "My God, you actually rejected him in person!"

Jing Mingrui was a little dizzy from being surrounded by him, and couldn't help but began to doubt whether his decision was correct.

Ji Kongqing saw a young man in brocade clothes walking towards the big tent between two men in black.

He recognized the boys and girls in black as Tianxuan and Yaoguang under Jing Mingquan's subordinates, they were young but experienced in the world, they were the two masters of Tingfenglou.

When the young man walking in the middle approached, Ji Kongqing suddenly realized that this was also an old friend.

Wei Wuyou was taken aback when he saw Ji Kongqing standing outside the king's tent of the Chu army in fresh clothes and bright armor.

"Isn't this Mr. Mofeng?" Wei Wuyou stopped his steps, "I was really wrong back then, I didn't expect Mr. Mofeng to have such a good ability!"

Ji Kongqing said indifferently: "The Second Highness is well. I would also like to thank His Highness for saving me back then."

Looking at Ji Kongqing's face, Wei Wuyou sighed in admiration: "I sent you to Jing Kingdom, but I didn't expect you to be mesmerized by Emperor Jing as soon as you turned around, and even gave you the royal surname, and raised you in the kingdom of Jing." The golden house hides the beauty in the deep palace. Pity my elder brother. At the beginning, he couldn’t forget you when he saw you. Later, when he was an envoy to Jingguo, he found you in the palace. Mr. Mo Feng was a romantic one night. You are really worth a lot!"

Ji Kongqing frowned.

Wei Wuyou seemed to be ignorant, and continued: "Later, it was even more serious. He even deceived the former emperor of Chu, who was thousands of miles away, and exchanged you with a large piece of land. It's a pity that his life was not good, and he died of illness within a year. But I didn't expect you to be able to climb into the new emperor's bed in a blink of an eye. If you say that the current Emperor Chu is really good to you, he seems to be only eighteen, and he doesn't think you are so older than him. A lot, it doesn’t matter if you dote on me, and let you be a bedside person to lead troops to fight, it’s really glorious!"

When Ji Kongqing heard him talk about Jing Mingrui, he couldn't help being furious, and laughed loudly: "How can I compare with the Second Highness. The Second Highness has been suppressed by the Crown Prince for many years. Now that the Crown Prince is dead, Emperor Wei only has one son left. Your Highness is the one who has a bright future and a bright future!"

"It's a pity—" Ji Kongqing changed the subject, "I heard that Wei Guo Guoshi had a divination a few days ago, and it is not suitable for Wei Guo to have a crown prince within three years, and the Second Highness is still a long way from being crown prince. .”

Wei Wuyou was furious.

He has been a head lower than his elder brother since he was born.

Just because he was born three days late and lacked a heavenly seal on his body, no matter how hard he tried, his father always loved Wei Wuji more than himself.

After Wei Wuji became the prince, he maliciously and severely injured Wei Wuyou in front of Emperor Wei, and concentrated his efforts to attack his power, almost making him a bereaved dog that everyone shouted and beaten.

Fortunately, now that Wei Wuji is dead, he can be reused by Emperor Wei to be in charge of the peace talks this time.

Unexpectedly, just when Wei Wuyou wanted to make a big splash, made a plan to hold back the Chu army, and made great achievements, the national teacher who had always been at odds with him took him into the army again.

How could Ji Kongqing not hate him when he mentioned this matter to his face.

Wei Wuyou was extremely handsome, but his expression was a bit distorted at this time: "I think Mr. Mo Feng should seize the time to enjoy himself in time. My father intends to let the fifth emperor sister marry the emperor of Chu as the queen, and from then on the two countries will live forever." Qin and Jin are close friends. My fifth emperor sister is called Fairy Qionggong, she is the most beautiful woman in the Wei Kingdom, and she is now in her [-]th year, and she is just suitable for the Emperor Chu. I am afraid that in the future, Mr. Mofeng will really have no glory!"

He and the fifth princess of Wei State were born of the same mother, so today it can be said that he came to humiliate Ji Kongqing for his younger sister.

At this time, there are soldiers in the tent who come out to send a message, Your Majesty has an invitation.

Wei Wuyou's expression turned pale, he stopped looking at Ji Kongqing, shook his sleeves and walked straight in.

Ji Kongqing froze on the spot when he heard his news.

At the same time, Chu Ying...

"General Xia!"

"!" Xia Qi heard this greeting, and immediately got out of the trebuchet with a smile on her face.

"Brother Li?" Xia Qi was even happier when she saw that it was Li Di.

Since Li Di joined the Chu army, he has become a model general in Xia Qi's heart.Now hearing that he doesn't use the word "little" like other people, but directly calls himself general, Xia Qi is almost overjoyed.

"Is General Xia busy modifying the catapult?" Li Di asked curiously.

"It's not busy, it's just an overhaul. The catapult is not a challenge. When I have time, I will invent a catapult and throw people directly onto the city wall!" Xia Qi laughed.

"Then there is something I want to discuss with General Xia first." Li Diwen said.
