Chapter 60: After the War

『PS: After waking up today, I have to take my family to barbecue activities with others. I am afraid that I will be too tired and delayed when I come back, so I stayed up late and sent it up first. Please recommend it~』

————The following text——

The next morning, the army's Sima Jingzi sent a team of soldiers and took Teng Hu's body away.

Meng Zhong looked from afar.

I don’t know how long it took, a familiar voice sounded beside him: “Did you do it last night?”

Meng Zhong was so familiar with this voice, but he was a little unfamiliar with it. Meng Hu, who used to be, had always been a hippie and smiled and rarely used this solemn tone.

Obviously, it was because of his father's death that Meng Hu, a young child, became much more mature at once.

"No." Meng Zhong said truthfully: "He died because of his serious injury."

"Why?" Meng Hu frowned and looked at Meng Zhong, and said with a little displeasure: "Why don't you take action?"

Turning his head and looking at Meng Hu, Meng Zhong looked at the convoy away and said softly: "Yes, Uncle Meng Qing finally captured the enemy who killed my brother, but I watched him die because of his serious injury... Ah Hu, would you be angry?"

"It depends on what kind of reason you have." Meng Hu frowned and said, "If it is because of weakness and the inability to take action, Ah Zhong, I will beat you up, and I will beat you hard."

Meng Zhong looked at Meng Hu after hearing this. From Meng Hu's serious and serious eyes, he realized that Meng Hu was not joking.

He let out a long sigh, and he sighed: "Are you weak? You watched my first formation with your own eyes and killed at least four soldiers from Teng Kingdom..."

Meng Hu was stunned for a moment, tilted his head and thought for a while, then his tone slowed down a little: "What's the reason?"

"I don't think I'm qualified." Meng Zhong shook his head and sighed.

"Not qualified?" Meng Hu couldn't understand.

Seeing this, Meng Zhong explained: "Last night, I had a short conversation with Teng Hu. Through the conversation, I could feel that it was a respected monarch of the enemy country.... He was to protect his people, while we were to Song and to fulfill the king's order. Whether he killed us on the battlefield or we killed him on the battlefield, it was not a matter that could be defined simply by good and evil.... It was just because of the righteous brother Hui'an, Uncle Meng Qing gave me the opportunity to kill this person, and the Sima of the Army also acquiesced to me to kill Teng Hu. What is this? I did not create any creation for Teng Hu at all, and that kind of character should not die in the hands of an unknown junior like me. It was exchanged for Uncle Meng Qing's life."

Meng Hu looked at Meng Zhong's eyes tightly when he heard this. Seeing that the latter's eyes were sincere and firm, without any intention of evading and guilt, he finally showed a smile on his face and comforted him: "Don't say that. If it weren't for your suggestion of the car in the well, Teng Hu wouldn't have been forced to risk his risk to leave the city... It's just that you wouldn't feel regretful? Missing the opportunity to take revenge?"

Meng Zhong sighed and shook his head and said, "I have no regrets when I see Teng Hu falling to such a fate. Uncle Meng Qing has also helped me to avenge my brother... It should be said that Uncle Meng Qing is helping my brother and those who were killed by Teng Hu. As for me, I am an outsider, and Master Zeng said..."

“Stop and stop.”

Meng Hu hurriedly stopped Meng Zhong: "I don't want to hear your Taoist words, as they make people dizzy."

After saying that, he looked at Meng Zhong deeply and said with a smile: "I'm glad you didn't let Teng Hu go because of your temporary weakness and let him die because of your injury. Don't care about my father. A man like my father, who is upright and upright, is disdainful to attack a person who is about to die."

After saying that, he also breathed a long sigh and asked, "In other words, our grudges with Teng Hu have been settled?"

"Well, but our grudges with Teng Kingdom have not been settled." Meng Zhongpo said heavy.

Hearing this, Meng Hu snorted: "It's too soon? Teng Hu is dead, and the Teng people have no reliance anymore. I believe that just one more attack can capture Teng City."

"Not sure." Meng Zhong shook his head and said, "Last night, Teng Hu said that he had two younger brothers. If he died in battle, his two younger brothers will inherit the throne and continue to lead the Teng people to fight against our army..."

Meng Hu heard it incredible.

Just then, a call came from a distance: "A Zhong, A Hu."

Meng Zhong and Meng Hu turned their heads and saw Meng Min pulling Meng Heng's arm towards this side - the latter seemed a little reluctant.

"Brother of clan." Meng Zhong and Meng Hu clasped their fists and bowed.

Meng Min nodded with a smile, then said to Meng Heng who was reluctant, "Hey, Ah Heng."

Meng Heng looked at Meng Min with anger, then looked at Meng Zhong, Meng Hu and the other two. After stopping, he praised: "I saw your performance on the battlefield. A Zhong, you did a good job, A Hu, you are not bad..."

"What else?" Meng Min urged.

Hearing this, Meng Heng's eyes flashed with a few annoyance, but in the end he apologized to Meng Zhong and Meng Hu: "A Zhong, A Hu, I'm sorry, I left you behind that day... I thought you were just weak, but... In short, I underestimated you. You have the ability to cross that threshold by yourself, sorry."

Of course, Meng Zhong and Meng Hu would not care, because they also understood that the anger of the clan brother Meng Heng at that time was just because he was "angrily angry at him and did not fight". In essence, he also hoped that Meng Zhong and Meng Hu could pass the spiritual level of "killing" by killing the four Teng people.

Now that the misunderstanding is resolved, there is naturally no grudge between each other.

The four of them walked and chatted a lot, and they began to talk about Meng Zhong. After all, they had killed at least four soldiers from Teng Kingdom on the battlefield yesterday, so Meng Heng and Meng Min were also worried about Meng Zhong's mood at this moment.

To be honest, because of Meng Qing and Teng Hu's death one after another, Meng Zhong didn't really think about the Teng soldiers killed by him at that time - except for the first Teng Bing who was killed by him, he didn't even remember the subsequent one, because his head was blank at that time, and he just mechanically followed the instructions given by Meng Wu, so he still remembered so many.

After hearing what Meng Zhong said, Meng Min and Meng Heng said one after another: "I forgot it, I don't have to remember it at all. I remember the appearance of those people, but instead I have to suffer for myself... Drink some wine, sleep, and forget it completely in a few days."

This is Meng Heng and Meng Min’s suggestion as a “senior”, and Meng Zhong humbly accepted it.

As they chatted, the four of them talked about "Sima Mengqing, the former family", that is, Meng Hu's father. They tried their best to comfort Meng Hu, but Meng Hu said with a smile: "The two brothers of the clan do not need to comfort me. My father is a man who stands tall and strong. Even if he dies, he will die vigorously. All Song Bing and Teng Bing on the battlefield yesterday will remember my father's name... That is the man who fought to kill Teng Hu alone!"

Looking at Meng Hu's proud look for this, Meng Heng and Meng Min looked at each other.

On September 11, the army Sima Jingzi attacked Tengcheng again.

At this time, Teng Hu's younger brother Teng Qi had been recalled from the territory of Qi by the Teng people. Teng Qi originally wanted to go to Qi for help, but he had just passed the border of Qi and received the bad news that his brother Teng Hu had died in battle. He endured the grief in his heart and hurried back to Teng City.

"Why don't you send troops to rescue me?"

After Teng Qi returned to Teng City and learned about the cause of his brother Teng Hu's death, he, who had always been gentle, angrily grabbed the collar of the Grand Sima Bi Zhan and questioned him viciously.

Bi Zhan couldn't raise his head in shame, but at this time, Teng Qi's younger brother Teng Hao explained: "Brother Ya, this is my brother's order... My brother told me before leaving the city to order me to defend the city. If he was unfortunately besieged by the Song army, he would find a way to escape by himself. Let us avoid sending troops to rescue him, so as not to be taken advantage of by the Song army, which would lead to the loss of Teng City..."

“Even so, even so…”

Teng Qi slowly let go of his hand, so sad that he couldn't speak.

Next to him, Qiu Liang, a master of the Mo family, also sighed and explained to Bi Zhan: "The situation was difficult at that time. Bi Sima blocked the Song army in the city wall, and there was no extra force to rescue Teng Hou in the city."

Teng Qi stopped talking.

After a while, Teng Hao whispered: "Brother Ya, brother has a life before his death. If he unfortunately dies in battle, you will be the monarch of my Teng Kingdom."

Upon hearing this, Teng Qi took a deep breath and looked around everyone around him.

He knew that the death of his brother Teng Hu made everyone feel unruly. He had to cheer up and continue to protect Teng Country on behalf of his brother.

However, before this, he had to ask the Song army for the body of his brother Teng Hu to avoid the body of his brother being insulted by the Song people.

So he took a deep breath and said, "Send someone to the Song Jun camp and ask for the body of his brother..."

Hearing this, Qiu Liang, a master of the Mo family, took the initiative to say, "Please let me go and retrieve the body of Teng Hou... My Mo family is still a bit thin."

"Then please give me a lord," Teng Qi said gratefully.

On that day, Teng State held a simple ceremony, and Teng Qi succeeded the position of the monarch of Teng State.

Qiu Liang, a master of the Mohist family, came to the Song army with several disciples and met the army Sima Jingzi.

I have to say that Jing Cheng actually hated these Mohist disciples very much, because it was because these Mohist disciples were helping Teng Kingdom that he spent more than two years unable to conquer Teng Kingdom.

But he did not dare to detain the lower part of the throne, let alone kill him. After all, they came to ask for Teng Hu's body. If he killed him, not only will the Mohist families in the world regard him as an enemy, but even the Confucians will accuse him and attack him.

During this period, Jing Ze asked Qiu Liang: "Can Tengcheng surrender?"

Qiu Liang shook his head and said truthfully: "Teng Qi also succeeded to the position of Teng Hou and will continue to resist the unjust war of the Song army."

This aroused Jing Qian's words and wished he could kill Qiu Liang with a sword, but considering that the other party was a great man from the Mo family, Jing Qian did not have the courage, so he said to Qiu Liang: "Please allow me to ask the king."

Seeing this, Qiu Liang said, "Please allow me to be used as a qualifier to exchange Teng Hou's body. If King Song blames you for this in the future, Qiu Liang can die and calm the anger of King Song."

Jing Yan was entangled by Qiu Liang and finally agreed to the matter.

About three or four days later, Song Wangyan, who was in Pengcheng, received the battle report from Jing Yan, and then he learned that Teng Hu was dead.

Song Wangyan, who was ecstatic about this, immediately brought Hui'an and personally led a royal army to Tengcheng.
