One Hundred and Fifty-Seven Acts [Turnaround]
Meng Jian didn't go to Guang Yuan these days.
The previous encounter in the sword testing field made him gradually realize what he looked like in the eyes of most of his fellow Frost Sword. Meng Jian, who has always been very sensitive, finally chose to escape and locked herself in the Heartfelt Restaurant.
When Duan Nian is fine, he basically walks around the restaurant. Listen here, go around there. Shopkeeper He, who seemed to be busy, also eyed him during this period. As the best restaurant in Mingyue City, Duan Nian could hear a lot of news here that he wanted to know.
Recently, he learned about Meng Jian from the frost swords who frequented the Heartfelt Restaurant. And after Yun Fan returned, he took a batch of sword armor made of silver and gold and joined the Guangqi Academy to temporarily replace Liu Fengsoul as the deputy commander.
After learning this news, Duan Nian hurriedly told Qianyu Fenghua. After a moment of thought, Thousand Feather Fenghua concluded that it was very likely that Yun Fan had reached some kind of agreement with the Liu Clan, and that soon Yun Fan would go to battle with the Frost Sword.
And Meng Jian's encounter in Guangqi Courtyard also made her see a rare opportunity again. If Yun Fan rushed to the battlefield with most of the frost swords, then the garrison strength in the Guang Closed Courtyard would be much lower than it was now. At that time, she only needs to successfully incite Meng Jian, and she can easily achieve the purpose of her trip, and then leave the country with Duan Nian.
When night fell, Duan Nian knocked on Meng Jian's door. This scene was also glimpsed by Shopkeeper He. It didn't take long for Meng Jian to follow Duan Nian to Qianyu Fenghua's house. Since Duan Nian was guarding the door, Shopkeeper He didn't know what they were talking about inside.
However, from time to time, laughter would come from Qianyu Fenghua's house, which also made Shopkeeper He a little worried. After thinking about it, the shopkeeper He picked up the lamp and retreated, and returned to his room, and began to write a letter.
At this time, it was still snowing heavily outside the restaurant. A carriage with purple willow leaves stopped at the back door of the Heartfelt Restaurant at some point. The servant who drove the car almost fell asleep in the cold wind, but fortunately, the shopkeeper He woke up the servant at the critical moment.
In such a winter, once you fall asleep in the wind and snow, I am afraid that you will really freeze to death. Shopkeeper He may have taken this into account, so after handing over the written letter to the servant, he also handed him the warm lamp in his hand.
The servant was grateful, thanked the shopkeeper He, and drove away. Looking at the carriage that was drifting away in the wind and snow, Shopkeeper He was thoughtful. He stood there for a long time, until he could not stand the biting chill, and then turned back to the inn.
When opening the back door and closing the back door, the shopkeeper He is cautious. For fear that strangers will notice what they are doing. Fortunately, the back door of the restaurant is remote after all, basically no one knows about it, and few people come to walk around the street near the back door.
Anyway, it's all going well.
The shopkeeper He who returned to the lobby of the restaurant, looked at the guests who were still puzzled and enthusiastic even in winter, and suddenly his eyes were deep, and he didn't know what to mutter. At the same moment, Duan Nian, who was guarding outside the door of Qianyu Fenghua, turned his gaze to the shopkeeper He.
He saw the wet clothes on Shopkeeper He's body after the snow melted, so he frowned slightly. And Shopkeeper He also made eye contact with Duan Nian at this time. After a short look at each other, Shopkeeper He smiled slightly, and Duan Nian avoided Shopkeeper He's gaze.
Then, Meng Jian walked out of Qianyu Fenghua's house.
After Meng Jian returned to his house, Duan Nian asked Qianyu Fenghua how she talked to Meng Jian, but Qianyu Fenghua shook his head and said, "He is going to the battlefield, so we can only find another way next." I've tried to keep it, but this person is far more special than I thought. ”
Speaking of this, Qianyu Fenghua fell into the whirlpool of memories, "I always felt that he was very similar to Yun Fan before, but now it seems that I was wrong. Yun Fan is Yun Fan, he is him. He can't be like Yun Fan, and he can't be the next Yun Fan. ”
Duan Nian didn't interrupt Qianyu Fenghua's words, but he felt the regret between Qianyu Fenghua's words, as well as a faint sadness. Qianyu Fenghua paused and continued, "Unconsciously, I have forgotten how long ago I last saw Yun Fan. Obviously he and I are in this city now......"
"Master, it's important to get down to business. ”
Duan Nian reminded out of place.
"I'm tired, let's do it first. ”
Qianyu Fenghua sighed, turned and closed the door.
Duan Nian realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing, so he had no choice but to bow down and wave his hands, and continue to guard outside the door of Qianyu Fenghua. Not long after Qianyu Fenghua turned around and returned to the house. Lian Mu, who had been living alone in the courtyard for a long time, suddenly appeared in the heartfelt restaurant.
However, this time Lian Mu did not come to drink, but to find Meng Jian. After greeting the shopkeeper He, Lian Mu determined that Meng Jian was basically here during this time. So, without saying a word, he walked directly to Meng Jian's residence.
However, when passing by the house of Thousand Feathers Fenghua, a faint smell of rosin made Lian Mu stop. The familiar smell is the same as the carriage that was discovered by Han Yu before. When he raised his eyes, Duan Nian looked at Lian Mu coldly, and asked unceremoniously, "Is there something wrong?"
Lian Mu was stunned for a moment, ignored it, and just walked away. However, Lian Mu suddenly found that the accent of the person who spoke to him just now was a bit similar to when Meng Jian first came to Mingyue City. That is, this person is most likely a southerner.
Combined with the black horse that pulled the carriage before, it was also a southern breed, and as early as when Yun Fan returned for the first time, Mingyue City had been blocked, and the fire in Qi Temple was completely martial law. So, how did this person enter Bright Moon City.
Thinking of this, the doubts in Lian Mu's heart became heavier and heavier.
Could it be that Lu You is secretly "opening the door" for them? Who could it be that the people who lived in that room just now? Could it be......
Just when Lian Mu walked to Meng Jian's door with a frown, Meng Jian just opened the door and was about to go downstairs to order a few dishes, but he just happened to bump into Lian Mu. When he raised his eyes, Meng Jian looked at Lian Mu in civilian clothes in surprise, and said in surprise: "Great Commander, why are you here?" ”
Suddenly being called so formally by Meng Jian, Lian Mu was suddenly stunned in place. Meng Jian asked again, "Is there anything wrong with the sudden visit so late, Grand Commander?"
As soon as Meng Jian's words fell, Lian Mu knocked on his skull, and reprimanded in a low voice: "Have you forgotten what I told you before? It's okay to call me the Great Commander when you were in the Guang Closed Courtyard, what do you mean by calling me the Great Commander here? For fear that others don't know who I am, or do you deliberately mock me?"
Meng Jian hugged her head and sighed: "Then what should I call you?"
Lian Mu knocked him again, and Meng Jian complained, "Did I say something wrong again?!"
Lian Mu responded: "No, I just want to beat you." I haven't seen you in a few days, so I miss you. ”
Meng Jian: "Huh?!"
Lian Mu: "In the future, remember that people call me the commander in front of me, and call me eldest brother in private, do you understand?" ”
Meng Jian sighed and nodded: "Okay, big brother." ”
When the words fell, Lian Mu pulled Meng Jian into the house, hurriedly closed the door, turned around and put business aside for the time being, and then asked Meng Jian about the occupants of the wing where Duan Nian was standing guard. Meng Jian didn't want to pay attention to it, but said, "You can ask the shopkeeper directly!"
Lian Mu knocked Meng Jian on the head: "You pig's head, how do I know that this old He, who has always seen money, is a person from the same household?"
Meng Jian sighed and told Lian Mu about the "Xuexi" girl, but after listening to the story, Lian Mu fell into a long contemplation. Meng Jian looked at Lian Mu with a solemn expression in front of him in confusion, and said curiously: "Did something happen?"
"It's okay," Lian Mu avoided Meng Jian's question, and turned around, "Let's not talk about this for now, I have other things to deal with later, so I'll just tell you about the business." ”
Lian Mu's evasion made Meng Jian, who had always been sensitive, smell that something was wrong, but he didn't ask in detail, just silently listened to Lian Mu continue to tell the so-called "business".
"I've heard about you in the fencing arena. You're doing a great job, I've been busy before, so I didn't have a chance to tell you. That Yun Fan is very dangerous, you remember to stay away from him when you are fine. Lian Mu solemnly reminded Meng Jiandao, "Just now he has already begun to assemble the frost sword and prepare to go to the battlefield." Now that Yaoguang City has been broken, he plans to take this opportunity to recover Liuyun City. I also heard that you are going to go to the front with you, right?"
Meng Jian was puzzled: "Can't you go?"
Lian Mu said: "Not this time. ”
Meng Jian asked, "Why?"
Lian Mu said: "Because when the time comes, many children of the clan will follow the past. There are some things that I can't tell you too clearly, anyway, this time, you will stay in Mingyue City honestly. In case you have any strengths and weaknesses on the battlefield, how will I explain to your senior sister in the future?"
Meng Jian sighed: "Just because I'm not a child of the clan, I can't go to the battlefield?" ”
Lian Mu didn't answer Meng Jian's question, he knew that Meng Jian had misunderstood what he meant, but Lian Mu didn't intend to explain more, and continued: "Xia Hui and Han Ji will all go to the front line at that time, compared to the next battle in Liuyun City, there will also be a 'dark war' in Mingyue City in the near future." ”
Meng Jian: "So what should I do." ”
"Stay here honestly, don't go anywhere. ”
Lian Mu looked at Meng Jian seriously, Meng Jian sneered and asked Lian Mu: "Then you might as well lock me up directly, do you think this is possible?"
Lian Mu saw that Meng Jian's reaction was a little intense, so he looked at him coldly and did not speak. After a moment of silence, Lian Mu saw that Meng Jian's mood was a little calmer, so he said lightly: "If I think it is necessary, I can fulfill this wish of yours." ”
Looking at Lian Mu with a serious face, Meng Jian knew that Lian Mu was not joking. However, Meng Jian was not deterred by this. He was thinking, "What can you do with me if I run away early? Go to war and arrest me?"
Of course, Lian Mu couldn't read Meng Jian's mind.
Sometimes, even Meng Jian didn't understand what he was thinking about at some specific time period. After saying this, Lian Mu didn't talk to Meng Jian about anything else. He's done with what needs to be said, so the next thing he has to do is turn away.
"There's nothing else to do, that's it. ”
Lian Mu lightly drew an end to their meeting tonight, and then turned around and prepared to leave, but Meng Jian suddenly stopped Lian Mu at this time: "Wait a minute. ”
Lian Mu turned his head sideways and asked, "Is there anything else?"
Meng Jian hesitated for a moment, and finally said nothing.
Lian Mu said indifferently: "I'll leave first if it's okay." ”
This time, Meng Jian did not stop him.
Lian Mu: "By the way, if I let me know that you left here secretly, I would really lock you up." You've probably heard of the "Ice Prison" in the Optical Courtyard, and there are a few jailers there who are going to retire recently, you know what I mean. ”
Meng Jian: "I see. ”
Lian Mu: "It's good to know." ”
After saying this, Lian Mu closed the door of Meng Jian's room and walked in front of Qianyu Fenghua's house again. This time, he avoided Duan Nian's gaze, which was still guarding the door, and what surprised him was that Qianyu Fenghua opened the door at this time and met Lian Mu's eyes.
"Is it really you?"
Lian Mu, who saw the Thousand Feathers Fenghua, was surprised.
Qianyu Fenghua was stunned at first, and then smiled slightly.
"Brother Lian, long time no see. ”
......
In the wind and snow, the carriage with willow leaf totems stopped at the main gate of Liufu after circle after circle. After returning home, the servant who drove the car handed over the letter written by Shopkeeper He to Liu Su as soon as possible.
On the side, Liu Fengsoul was playing chess with Liu Fengchen.
After reading this letter, Liu Su was thoughtful.
At this point, the winner on the board has been decided.
Liu Feng's soul was defeated miserably, and he sighed long.
Liu Fengchen was victorious but not arrogant, and noticed his father's worried look, so he was concerned: "What's the matter, father, is there any new movement between the Liuyun Xia clan and the Yaoguang Han clan?"
Liu Su sighed: "Internal and external troubles followed. ”
Between the words, Liu Fengchen took the letter from Liu Su's hand and read it in detail. After reading this letter, Liu Fengchen frowned, "I didn't expect that the battle of Liuyun City, which had not yet started, would make so many forces restless. ”
Liu Su: "This battle is very critical for the Shu country, and it is naturally very critical for them. It's just that until now, we haven't figured out what the purpose of this Thousand Feather Clan's return to Bright Moon City this time is. In addition, now Xia Hong and Han Bin are adding to the chaos, and the whole situation is very passive for us. ”
Liu Fengchen didn't immediately follow Liu Su's question and continued. After reading the letter, Liu Fengchen was about to burn the letter directly, but was stopped by Liu Fengsoul on the side: "Don't burn it, let me see it too!"
Liu Fengchen was stunned for a moment, and his eyes turned to Liu Su.
Liu Su didn't speak, signaling that Liu Fengsoul could know the contents of the letter. So Liu Fengchen handed the letter to his younger brother. After a moment of silence, Liu Su continued: "Lu Wei heard the news over there, and it has already come back. ”
Liu Fengchen: "What does Mr. say?" ”
"You would never have imagined what happened to the Luoxia Mansion at that time. Liu Su said in a tricky way, "The woman from the Northern Desert invited him out without saying a few words to Lu Weiwen. In the end, Lu Weiwen didn't even have time to say what Xia Hong's real plan was. ”
Liu Fengchen: "Because of his current identity." ”
"Perhaps, but I don't think that's the main reason. Liu Su pondered, "I think Lu Weiwen is too anxious now." It stands to reason that he should find Yun Fan first, and then find the Northern Desert woman. After all, Yun Fan is the master. ”
Liu Fengsoul on the side sighed at this time:
"Sir always wants to solve the problem at the root. ”
This time, however, he overlooked a very important matter. Liu Su continued, "Although this Northern Desert woman has always valued Lu Weiwen, she has always been very cautious and rational. This can be seen from the small friction between the frost sword and her earlier. ”
Liu Fengchen's brows furrowed slightly: "So, in the final analysis, there is something wrong between this Gu Yina and Mr. Lu?"
Liu Su nodded: "I believe Lu Weiwen will handle it." I can understand why he is so anxious, after all, no one thought that Lu You's arrest did not change the entire kingdom of Shu, but the battle of Liuyun City, which had not yet started, actually made our country gradually on the verge of splitting. ”
Liu Fengchen: "At that time, Yun Fan hadn't come back yet. ”
Liu Feng looked at the letter absentmindedly, and sneered: "There is only this one city left, how can it be divided?"
Liu Su: "Strictly speaking, it's two. ”
Liu Fengsoul smiled after hearing this, and didn't say any more.
At this time, Liu Fengchen on the side turned to ask Liu Su: "Next, what should we do." Or just keep waiting, waiting for either of them to show their tail first. ”
Liu Su paused, and said suspiciously: "He Xianjun's letter was written in a bit hastily, I don't know why." But reading between the lines, you should be able to feel the impatience. In this letter, there was a person named Meng Jian, but He Xianjun didn't say much about his origin. ”
"Meng Jian?"
Liu Fengchen and Liu Fengsoul listened to it and spoke in unison.
"What, you know him?"
Liu Fengchen and Liu Fengsoul looked at each other in surprise and asked at the same time again. This scene made Liu Su laugh: "Only at this time, you two act like your own brothers." Every demeanor and every movement is exactly the same. ”
Liu Fengchen sneered and glanced at the younger brother in front of him, and Liu Fengsoul turned his head disdainfully. Liu Su asked the two curiously: "So, do you know who this Meng Jian is?"
Liu Fengchen: "I just feel like I've heard this name somewhere, but I can't remember anything about this name for a while." ”
Liu Su turned to ask Liu Fengsoul: "What about you?"
Liu Feng Soul said: "I have spoken, I have talked a few words. I heard that he is Lian Mu's cousin, from somewhere in Jinan. By the way, what does he have to do with this?"
Liu Fengchen reminded: "Isn't it all written on the letter? I don't know how to use dim sum, don't you look good?"
Liu Fengsoul glared at his brother.
Liu Su didn't speak, and then Liu Fengsoul opened his mouth and asked again: "So, the shopkeeper of the Heartfelt Restaurant is our Liu family?"
Liu Su didn't answer his words, and Liu Fengchen on the side said secretly: "What, why are you asking this." ”
"The "drunk" of the Heartfelt Restaurant is very delicious. At this time, after reading the letter, Liu Fengsoul sighed and burned the letter, "I just asked casually." ”
Looking at the letter that gradually turned to ashes in the flames, the father and son fell silent. However, after hearing Liu Fengsoul talk about the relationship between Meng Jian and Lian Mu, Liu Su also realized Qianyu Fenghua's true intentions during this period, what it was.
