On the day of hope, Gu Yuheng, Prince Ning's son, came.

Holding his pet dog Xuehuabing on the tip of his heart, wearing thick-soled small court boots that can block the mud on the battlefield, he came here happily.

The ten-year-old King Ning's son has lost his childishness since he raised the osmanthus tree sent by the little queen of Baekje, and suddenly became stable.

Arriving at Daying in the outskirts of Beijing, seeing the seventh uncle Gu Xiu who had always been afraid, he did not show any signs of timidity. He bowed respectfully and decently, and then asked about his good brother Gu Yucheng who wore a pair of trousers with him.

"Uncle Huang, where's Brother Cheng?" Prince Ning pointed to the large and small bags piled up on the ground: "Grandmother asked Heng'er to bring something to my brother."

Gu Xiu nodded slightly, waved his hand to call the servant beside him, and whispered in his ear: "Go and tell His Highness the Prince, just say that Prince Ning is here, and let him stop copying the book, and come to Tong Ning first." Prince Wang speaks."

After a while, the crown prince Gu Yucheng, the head servant, Yuan Bao, escorted him down to the camp where the king lived with a wry smile on his face.

With red eye circles, the tender flesh of the palms is half red, and the small mouth is pouting all the way, and she is somewhat reluctant to meet Gu Xiu.

"My son sees my father."

"Okay, let's go and play with your Brother Heng."

"Yes, Father."

This pair of father and son has never been so unfamiliar before, and they don't know what happened today.

"Brother Cheng! Grandma asked me to bring you the new spring clothes, as well as your favorite snacks and jerky. I also brought a new polo, how about we play together later?" Yu Heng He hugged Yu Cheng's shoulder, and patted and patted intimately.

"Cheng'er, thank you grandma for remembering me." Yu Cheng lowered his head and sniffed astringently.

Prince Ning's eyes were sharp, and he quickly noticed the tears that had just rolled down Xiao Yucheng's face: "Brother Cheng, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying so well?"

"It's nothing." Xiao Yucheng awkwardly rubbed his eyelids with the back of his hand: "Brother Heng, stop asking."

"Yucheng, go out and play with your brother."

The aloof King Gu Xiu finally spoke, and the two children rushed out of the camp as if they had received an amnesty.

While the two were standing in the open space to breathe, Xiao Yucheng unintentionally exposed his swollen little hand like a small peach.

"Ah!" Yu Heng cried out in surprise, and grabbed Xiao Yucheng's red and swollen left hand: "Brother Cheng, why is your hand like this? Is Taifu Han punishing you?"

"Don't touch, don't touch! It hurts like hell!" Xiao Yucheng snatched his little hand back: "Why don't you come here sooner, I won't be beaten if you come here sooner!"

"What's the matter?"

"Hmph! It's not because of that annoying ghost!" Xiao Yucheng arched his nose, and directed Yu Heng's gaze to Meng Xu who was leading recruits to practice horsemanship in the distance.

two hours ago.

Xiao Yucheng, who has always been well-behaved and sensible, suddenly had a big fight with his father, Gu Xiu.

The reason was that after Gu Xiu had dealt with the routine government affairs, he went to the recruit school grounds and personally taught Meng Xu two marksmanship moves, while Taifu Han Mochu also watched from the sidelines.

This made Xiao Yucheng, who had eaten breakfast and wanted to pester his father, Gu Xiu, to take him to hunt rabbits in the mountains, to feel angry for no reason.Immediately, he grabbed two handfuls of yellow mud from nowhere, trotted over and threw them directly on Meng Xu's face.

Meng Xuping's face was smeared with mud and he almost fell to the ground.

"Gu Yucheng, what are you doing?" Gu Xiu grabbed the trickster's back by the boy's back, and pulled him aside.

"I didn't make trouble! I just want to teach him a lesson!" Xiao Yucheng refused to let go, and continued to kick and kick Meng Xu with his arms. Gu Xiu pulled him tight, and he directly bit Gu Xiu's on the arm.

"Gu Yucheng, you are simply too presumptuous!" Gu Xiu took the mischievous little guy and slapped his butt twice: "Go and apologize to Commander Meng!"

"I won't go!" Xiao Yucheng felt the pain, and became more and more aggrieved: "Since father likes him so much! You only teach him marksmanship! Why don't you accept him as your heir! Anyway, I am not father's son." Flesh and blood!"

The outspoken little guy had no idea what his words meant to Gu Xiu.

Gu Xiu's face immediately darkened, and the air around him seemed to freeze.

"Yucheng." Han Mochu called softly, breaking the stalemate between father and son.

Xiao Yucheng, who was still filled with righteous indignation just now, lost his temper in an instant, and obediently stood in front of Han Mochu with his hands behind his back and his head lowered.

"Ya... Ya father..."

"If you behave disrespectfully and disrespect your father, you will be punished with a thirty-foot rule." Han Mochu's tone was still calm and unwavering: "Your Highness, follow me and go."

In the king's big tent, Xiao Yucheng's left hand was hit thirty times with a ruler, the pain caused him to runny nose and tears, he hugged his little hand and begged Han Mochu for mercy.

Han Mochu didn't urge him, and continued beating when he finished crying.

If this is the case, Han Mochu additionally punished him for copying the "Book of Filial Piety" two hundred times, and he was not allowed to have dinner if he couldn't finish copying.

When Yuheng came, he had already copied it almost fifty times.

"A total of thirty hits!" Xiao Yucheng rubbed his palms, flattened his lips and said pitifully, "My Asian father has never hit me so many times, it's all because of that annoying ghost named Meng."

"Brother Cheng, why do I sound like your fault is bigger?" Prince Ning's son Yuheng hooked his lips helplessly: "But why do you hate that Marshal Meng so much? I just look at him like that. Man, it shouldn't be as bad as you said, right?"

"I don't know, anyway, I just hate him. The emperor likes him, and I just hate him!"

Prince Ning scratched his head, feeling more and more confused, so: "The emperor likes me very much too, why don't you hate me?"

"That's different! You are my real brother! Father should treat you well." Xiao Yucheng rolled his eyes and stared sideways at the young man on horseback not far away: "What kind of thing is he, and he is worthy of my favor?" Father personally taught? I will deal with him sooner or later!"

"Brother Cheng, how are you going to deal with him? Let's fight?" Yu Heng also looked at the young man in the distance wistfully: "Both of us together, it seems like we can't beat him, right?"

"Who said I'm going to fight with him?" Xiao Yucheng rolled his eyes, and an extremely genius idea popped up in his little head: "Brother Heng, let's stop playing polo in the afternoon, and accompany me to a place Bar."

"Going somewhere? Where are you going?" Gu Yuheng's fair face was full of doubts.

Xiao Yucheng dragged his elder brother Yuheng's arm mysteriously, walked through the crowd all the way, and arrived outside the barracks where the recruits lived.

Now is the time for recruit training, and there is no one in the barracks.

The two little guys sneaked into Meng Xu's tent which was reserved for junior generals.

That tent is extremely small, not even one-tenth the size of what Yu Cheng used.

But Meng Xu kept the place very clean and tidy, even the ground was spotless.

Xiao Yucheng stood in the tent and looked around, and suddenly saw a copper basin filled with water in the corner, and his eyes lit up instantly: "Brother Heng, my hand hurts, can you help me lift the basin down?" good?"

"What are you doing carrying the water basin?"

"Splash the water. I'm going to keep him awake tonight!"

"This...isn't that good? Does he really have such a big enmity with you?"

"Brother Heng, you are my biological brother. You said that I am closer than Yuqing." Xiao Yucheng spread his little finger and pointed at the half-red but not swollen scar on the palm of his hand and said pitifully: "I was beaten like this because of him. , don't you feel bad?"

"Then... that's fine..." The brotherhood finally defeated reason, and Prince Ning used all his strength to lift the copper basin: "Who made you my younger brother! Taifu Han's ruler, at worst, I will accompany you to bear it! "

"No! I will bear Yafu's ruler alone! I won't hurt you!" Xiao Yucheng used his strength to hold up the bottom of the copper basin, and with a strong lift, poured the whole basin of clear water onto Meng Xu's bed.

After the quilt was soaked, the two of them became more and more noisy.

The only table in the tent was also overturned, and the two chairs fell to pieces.

Prince Ning's son Gu Yuheng, who has always been unable to stand the slightest bit of dirt, didn't care about the expensive new boots on his feet. He rubbed and rubbed against the flat land until the sand and stones on the ground were billowed with dust and smoke.

After a while, the originally neat military tent was turned into a mess by the two little guys.

I don't know why it's such a coincidence.

Those two little demon stars messed up Meng Xu's military tent like ten thousand horses galloping past.

For some reason, the king and Taifu Han, who have always been busy, thought of random checks on military affairs.

Another coincidence, Meng Xu's tent was drawn in the third room.

The moment the curtain was lifted, everyone present was dumbfounded.

The two little troublemakers who were hiding not far away to watch the excitement were also dumbfounded.

From this scene, one can tell at a glance who did it on purpose.

As long as the king Gu Xiu opened his mouth to investigate thoroughly, the young prince Gu Yucheng would have to take at least thirty strokes of the ruler.

"Little General Meng, tell the truth, what's going on in this military tent?" Gu Xiu stood in front of the people with his hands behind his back and said majesticly.

"Return to Your Majesty, it's the last general who got up in a hurry in the morning and didn't arrange military affairs. Please forgive me." Meng Xu knelt down on one knee, and he recognized it crisply.

"You mean, the situation in the account is due to your negligence and laziness, not others?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Meng Xu still didn't change his words: "It's the last general's negligence and laziness, no one else's fault."

"You recognize it neatly." Gu Xiu turned his eyes slightly, and looked at the general Gao Sheng who was always in charge of the recruits in the king's camp: "General Gao Sheng, if the recruits don't do their military affairs, what should they do according to the military regulations?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, according to the military regulations, he shall be punished with fifteen military sticks and the last month's rations."

"In this case, let's deal with it according to the military regulations." Gu Xiu's tone did not carry any emotion, and the expression on his face did not show any abnormalities, just like Han Mochu was dealt with at the Mohe border back then. The recruit brigade commander should lead by example. Therefore, the penalty is increased, the penalty is twenty sticks, and the food and salary are withheld for two months, so as to make others follow others."

"Yes, I will be punished at the end of the day."

Xiao Yucheng, who had been hiding not far away to watch the situation, watched his father lead Yafu to another barracks, while the young Meng Xu was dragged outside the camp, his armor was removed, and he was tied to a large wooden stool. superior.

***

Late at night, in the brightly lit king's tent.

King Gu Xiu sat on the throne exclusive to the emperor and closed his eyes to rest his mind. Taifu Han Mochu stood behind him, opened his palms, and pressed several acupuncture points on his forehead that could relax the spirit.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I have gone to see it. The wound medicine Yucheng has already taken away, and I still think I'm ignorant."

"The method Ziran said really works, much better than I thought."

"I understand that child Yucheng's thoughts. He's not that stubborn by nature, but just seeing you suddenly favoring others, he felt sorry for a while. It's just like when His Majesty just returned to the palace back then. His Highness Prince Ning and His Majesty are the same All kinds of awkwardness, isn't it because His Majesty took away Princess Qingzhao's love? Later, it was because His Majesty rescued each other in the hunting mountain that your brothers finally opened up." Han Mochu put his hands between Gu Xiu's hair, Press hard with fingertips to relieve the tension of a busy day: "Today, His Majesty asked Yu Cheng to watch General Meng being beaten. This child feels guilty, and he will definitely not sit idly by."

"I'm different from Sixth Brother. I and Sixth Brother are blood relatives. No matter how many years of quarreling or fighting, we always care about each other." Gu Xiu raised his head, and gradually stretched under Han Mochu's skillful kneading. Brows: "But Yu Cheng and that child are not related by blood after all, the child is willing to tolerate Yu Cheng today, but I don't know what will happen in the future."

"Isn't Your Majesty also wishing that little general Meng could stay by Yu Cheng's side for a long time? Although there is no blood relationship, there is brotherhood. Half brother, half minister, just like you and me." Han Mochu stopped what he was doing, and unexpectedly, he also placed a light kiss on Gu Xiu's forehead.

"Han Ziran, what are you doing at night?" Gu Xiu's eyes widened from the kiss, and he immediately sat up.

"At the end of the month, troops will be ordered to go out." Han Mochu tugged on his flat neckline: "You can't remove your armor during the war, so your Majesty doesn't want to hurry up and do something during this time?"

at the same time.

In the new barracks, in that inconspicuous small military tent.

Under the dim light, a shirtless teenager lay on the bare bed.

The young man's face was as pale as paper, and there were ten high raised swollen marks across his back. After the military doctor applied the ointment, the swell became more and more shiny, and there were a few inconspicuous drops of blood hanging on the places where many stick marks intersected.

I don't know if it was because of the serious injury and fever, the boy's breathing became constricted, and his lips were even chapped.

Outside the tent, a fluffy head poked in with a small night light: "Brother Yurong, are you asleep?"

"His Royal Highness?" Meng Xu tried to prop up his body when he heard the words, and inadvertently pulled the wound on his back. His lips were pressed tightly in pain, and he had to fall back on the bed.

"Hey! Brother Yurong, don't move around!" Xiao Yucheng, who had half of his body wandering outside the door, hurried in and knelt down in front of Meng Xu's bed, comforting him to lie down.

"His Royal Highness, it's getting so late, why are you here alone?" The person on the couch asked with concern, as if the injury on his back was far less serious than the child walking into the tent alone.

"I'm here to deliver you the plaster, and I'm here to apologize to you..." Xiao Yucheng lowered his head and pushed the plaster box in his hand apologetically: "I actually made your tent this afternoon In that way, I just wanted to make a joke with you, but I didn't expect..."

"The general knew about it a long time ago." Meng Xu raised the corners of his mouth, revealing two playful and cute little canine teeth: "In the afternoon, the general watched His Highness and Prince Ning's son come out of the tent."

"Then why don't you sue my father?! It's fine if you tell the truth, if it's a big deal, I'll copy the books! Why do you have to bear such a heavy board?" Xiao Yucheng sniffled, wondering which truth had been moved Temperament, the eye circles are red and red again.

Meng Xu lay on the only bare bed left because the quilt was soaked and said, "Because... I'm afraid that if your highness is punished for me again, he will hate me even more."

"I...I...I don't hate you very much...No..." Xiao Yu sincerely duplicity buttoned the pattern on the top cover of the medicine box.

"I know your highness doesn't like me, although I can't figure out why. But I am older than your highness, and your majesty has allowed your highness to call me brother, so I naturally have to be a big brother."

"Actually... I just can't stand Father and Yafu praising you... I don't like Father teaching you how to practice guns." Xiao Yucheng lowered his head while talking: "I'm afraid, I'm afraid to chase after you If I don’t get to you, I’m afraid I’ll get farther and farther away from you, if that’s the case, my father won’t like me anymore.”

Meng Xu raised his arm, put his palm on the top of Xiao Yucheng's head and gently stroked it: "Your Highness is too worried. The reason why Your Majesty treats me with great kindness is because of his support. I just hope that in the future, there will be someone who can compare with them." Stay by His Highness's side for a longer period of time, always be with His Highness, and be the most trustworthy person around His Highness. His Majesty once told me in private that he hopes that I can be His Highness's courtier and also His Highness's elder brother."

"Then...what the father said...will you agree?" Xiao Yucheng's probing tone was mixed with a trace of imperceptible expectation.

"Of course I would." Meng Xu nodded firmly to the people: "Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and is the belief of thousands of officials and people in the world. But from now on, the belief of my ministers is His Highness the Crown Prince."

"That! Pull the hook!" Xiao Yucheng sincerely stretched out half of her little finger towards the man.

"Well, pull the hook." Meng Xu also stretched out his little finger, and gently pulled with two fingers.

A contract to be fulfilled for a lifetime has been concluded.

"Oh! I'm so stupid!" Xiao Yucheng slapped his forehead suddenly: "Your bedding here is soaked, you must not be able to sleep. Brother Yurong, do you want to sleep in my tent? It is big, bright and warm, and the quilt is soft, light and comfortable. You will stay in my camp to recuperate these days, and you will accompany me to eat and help me with my homework, do you think it is okay?"

"This..." Meng Xu weighed in for a moment, then nodded: "The last general will obey."

In later later, many, many years later.

Meng Xu never lived alone in a house, nor did he eat a meal alone.
