Chapter 37 Memories: Ambition

He couldn't help but wonder, could this be what his brother was really like, ambitious and unwilling to be inferior to others?

No, maybe... the relaxed and open-minded person he is on weekdays is true, and the sharp-edged person he is now is also true.

In the past, my brother just suppressed this unknown side due to the situation, and even he never noticed it.

Zhan Heng's eyes were a little complicated. Although he was a prince, his biological mother was just the daughter of a minor official. Even if he was still alive, his situation would never be better than it is now.

From a long time ago, he knew that compared with Zhan Kun, he was just a down-and-out prince in the eyes of others.

Whether it is people or things, whatever does not belong to him will never belong to him.

He originally thought that the emperor brother had no intention of doing this, but he didn't expect that he hid it too deeply and too well, and has been hiding it until today.

"Then what are you going to do?"

"Ah Heng, help me!"

Zhan Kun looked with burning eyes at this younger brother who had been following him since childhood and had never refused any of his requests. He was certain that Zhan Heng would definitely help him!

Zhan Kun's guess was good. Zhan Heng looked at this slightly unfamiliar brother, raised his head and drank all the remaining wine in the jar. He wiped the wine stains on his face with his sleeves and gritted his teeth.

"...How can I help?"

Zhan Kun laughed, knowing that he would definitely agree.

He was the son of Concubine De, his uncle was the Marquis of Yichang, and his Yue family was the Prime Minister. He was in the harem, and he only lacked one military general to help him.

"A Heng, there is war in the territory, and Bei Mu is in chaos. I, Jing Yan, am determined to keep my heart alive. This is a good time for you to show off your skills. One day you will return to Beijing with your merits. With your help, who else will be my opponent?"

Zhan Kun and Zhan Heng are completely opposite in appearance and personality.

Zhan Kun is tall and heroic, and logically speaking, his martial arts should be good, but the fact is exactly the opposite. He only practiced the necessary horse riding and archery. Instead of practicing martial arts, he would rather recite poems and compete with a few friends.

Zhan Heng looks like a handsome young man and is quite talented in reading, but his martial arts master asserts that he has excellent bones and is a good young man for practicing martial arts. Due to some kind of psychology, he chose the opposite development direction to Zhan Kun.

The two men, one civilized and the other martial, complemented each other. Zhan Heng knew that if Zhan Kun wanted to succeed, this would be the best arrangement.

No one knows what the two discussed later that night. They only know that Zhan Heng left that night and disappeared for three days and three nights.

A few months later, when Zhan Heng, dressed in armor, stood in front of Concubine De to say goodbye, the woman who had been virtuous for most of her life gave them both a slap in the face.

Concubine De spared no effort in these slaps. Even though the two brothers did not dodge, she still almost fell down.

"I really didn't know that you actually had such a plan!"

Her face was full of tears and she looked at her two sons with disappointment.

"Do you know what kind of place the battlefield is? The people there will not let you go just because you are a prince. If you really die there, wouldn't it mean that I have raised you for more than ten years in vain?"

Zhan Heng lowered her head, her eyes were red, but she said nothing, so she looked at her biological son again, her eyes even more angry.

"Zhan Kun! If you are ambitious and ambitious, then go out and fight for it on your own. How can you have the nerve to let your brother fight for you, you coward!"

Zhan Kun knew his mother would be angry, but he didn't expect her to be so sad. He tried to help his crumbling mother, but she struggled to shake him off.

Concubine De has been in the palace for decades. In the first few years, she was still devoted to the emperor. Later, she realized that the goodness of a living person can never be compared to the good of a dead person in his heart. As time went by, she also faded away.

Fortunately, she still has two children. Although Zhan Heng is not her biological child, after years of upbringing, there is no difference between him and her biological child.

Unable to get her husband's sincerity, in the days that followed, she focused all her attention on the two brothers.

But now, the adopted son is about to go to the battlefield where he eats people without spitting out their bones, all for the sake of his parent-child ambition.

For his own ambition, he can let his brothers who have grown up since childhood fight for him through life and death, and fight bloody battles.

How could he bear it!

Unfortunately, Concubine De's weeping pleas failed to change her two sons' minds.

For Zhan Kun, when he personally expressed the ambition he had suppressed in his heart for many years, no one or anything in the world could make him give up.

And Zhan Heng, even if he didn't mention the delusions buried deep in his heart, he would agree to Zhan Kun without hesitation.

He felt that he was raised by De Fei and protected by his brother. No matter how much of it was sincere and how much of it was just following the trend, to him, it was all kindness.

He had no way of repaying this kindness. Since Zhan Kun wanted it, he would snatch it for him and give it to him!

Knowing that no matter how difficult the matter was to turn around, she still felt uneasy. On the day of Zhanheng's expedition, she personally gave the pair of breast shields to her two sons.

"You two have this little mirror. On the battlefield, mother and concubine can't help A Heng. But A Kun, you can't forget what your brother has done for you. Don't let him have any worries on the battlefield."

The two brothers took it silently, and Zhan Kun swore to his mother.

"Concubine, Ah Heng, don't worry, even if my dream comes true, as long as this mirror is here, I will always remember his feelings today, and I will never do anything to him!"

Zhan Heng was moved, and Concubine De also nodded with satisfaction. Besides worrying about their lives, what she was afraid of was that the two brothers would lose their brotherhood due to this world war.

Zhan Kun's words may be sincere at this moment, but coincidentally, just like the two people's inverted personalities and appearances, the oath is right, but the person who should swear it is wrong...

Facts have proved that Zhan Heng, who is well-equipped with both literary, Taoist and military skills, is indeed a born leader.

That year, on the battlefield in the northern territory, the young prince Zhan Heng, who was handsome in appearance, extraordinary in skill, and victorious in every battle, not only frightened Bei Mu, but also became the dream lover of ladies in the capital.

The courtiers who were waiting for the price in the government and the public were suddenly shocked at this moment. This originally unknown fifth prince was so outstanding and dazzling.

Zhan Kun, who was dealing with various forces in the capital, was pleasantly surprised by his brother's impressive results, but also felt a little disappointed as if he had been outcompeted.

A year later, the world-famous Fengming General Zhan Heng returned to Beijing, and many ministers tried to win over him.

When he came to Zhankun's mansion in person again, it was already half a month after he returned to Beijing. The two brothers, who had reunited after a long time, were actually a little silent and embarrassed when they saw each other.

Except for the day Zhan Heng returned to Beijing, when the two exchanged a few words in a hurry in the crowd, this was the first time they saw each other again.

Zhan Heng was being questioned by his father and courtiers, and was too busy to wander around. Zhan Kun, on the other hand, did not go to him because of the inexplicable complexity in his heart.

King Su, who coveted the throne and had hidden it in his heart for several years, was somewhat obsessed with him.

I wrote it in a bit of a hurry, I will revise it later, I can’t stand it anymore, good night!
