Meng made a decision to support Meng Guiyu under the persuasion of Zheng Guogong, and there was the holy decree of Emperor Xuanjing, and it was difficult for the Gaomi faction to support, after two days of fierce court discussions, the post of General Zuo Weiwei still fell to Meng Guiyu in the final analysis.

However, King Gaomi and his faction couldn't do anything, so they simply asked people to spread rumors in the market, saying that Queen Meng was actually just touched by the concubine's palace maid, and she would not have fallen out of the porthole, but in order to discredit the reputation of the concubine, she took the initiative to jump out of the window...... Otherwise, she also fell from the height of the ship, why did Shu Guifei fall on the deck, resulting in serious injuries on the spot; Why did Queen Meng have such a good life, but she didn't fall on the side of the boat, but fell into the water?

Therefore, the accident of the concubine was basically a conspiracy of the Meng family, and the purpose was to trap the innocent General Zuo Weiwei, so that Meng Guiyu, a disciple of the Meng family, could replace him!

After the news reached the water division of Chunbo Lake, they were naturally excited, and they were full of hostility towards Meng Guiyu, who had not yet taken office, and they were all gearing up, determined to embarrass him, so as to seek justice for the old boss Ouyang Arc!

The three brothers of Zheng Guogong were happy to see this, and they wished that Meng Guiyu could not suppress the Chunbo Lake Water Master, so they had to accept the "kind help" of their three uncles, so in addition to trying to explain to the Shu sisters that the Xia Meng family did not murder the concubine, instead of publicizing the rumors, they also added fuel to the fire in the Chunbo Lake Water Master, in order to cause more trouble to Meng Guiyu.

After Meng Guiyu received this appointment, he was silent for a long time, and managed to make an appointment with Rong Sleeping Crane that night.

The place to meet was chosen by him, and it was a three-entry mansion not far from Chongxinbo's mansion.

"I bought this place a few years ago, and I originally planned to make a dowry for Guihuan." Meng Guiyu, who had just met and lost weight in just a few days, said, "At that time, I planned to choose a son-in-law for her in the Jinshi of Jinke, and I didn't need to have a good family background, just a good person." In order to prevent the couple from having difficulties in their families after marriage, their homes, granges, shops, jewelry, and clothing ...... I'm prepared. But I didn't expect ......"

He shook his head and didn't continue.

Rong Sleeping Crane comforted meaningfully: "Now that you have been promoted to General Zuo Weiwei and are in charge of the army, he may not have the opportunity to seek justice for your brothers and sisters in the future." It's time to turn grief and anger into motivation, and think about how to sit on the position of General Zuo Weiwei when you turn around! ”

"Speaking of this promotion...... the two of them have already sat down while speaking, Meng Guiyu has already prepared, there is no one inside and outside, even the tea is made by him himself, at this moment, when he heard the words, he showed a thoughtful look, "Should I thank the county king?" ”

Rong Sleepy Crane smiled, took the tea he handed over and blew the foam, but did not drink it, but put it back on the table, and said slowly: "You can thank you if you want to, but it doesn't matter if you don't thank you." After all, you also know that I must have my own calculations in doing this, and it is absolutely impossible for me to give Shu Zhaoyi such advice purely for your consideration. ”

"Sure enough, it's you!" Meng Guiyu nodded and said, "It was very strange when I received the holy decree, I am the bloodline of the Meng clan, even if the King of Gaomi intends to provoke the internal fighting of the Meng clan, it is impossible to give me this kind of real power, especially the position of military power." As for the Meng family, after tearing his face at the heavy five banquets, he won't give me a chance to turn over! And although the Shu sisters bewitch His Majesty to linger in the harem all day long, they don't know much about political affairs, even if they are malicious to the Meng family, they probably can't think of such a way. ”

After a pause, "Thinking about it, it's only you!" ”

Rong Sleeping Crane let out a "hmm" and asked, "You asked me over tonight just to say this?" ”

Meng Guiyu took a sip of the tea in front of him, and said with a gloomy expression: "It's not ...... I have one more important thing to hear from you? ”

Rong Sleeping Crane made a "please speak" gesture.

"That's the case...... Meng Guiyu's eyes flickered, and he leaned in front of him, as if because the matter was too important, even in a room where only the two of them were alone, he wanted to whisper.

But just when he was only a foot away from Rong Sleeping Crane, he suddenly pulled out a short knife from his sleeve, aimed at Rong Sleeping Crane's heart, and stabbed it fiercely!

Rong Sleeping Crane's expression remained unchanged, and he steadily reached out and grabbed his wrist.

Due to the close distance between the two, the tip of the short knife had already touched the placket of his clothes at this moment, and he only needed to enter an inch to stab Rong Sleeping Crane's heart.

But Meng Guiyu tried his best, but he couldn't let the short knife score another half a point!

After a moment of stalemate, Rong Sleepy Crane shook his head with a smile, snatched the knife from his hand, and with an understatement, he actually broke a hundred steel knives into two pieces in front of him, and threw them on the ground casually.

"Bang!"

The crisp sound of the broken knife falling into the green bricks seemed to be the sound of Meng Guiyu's hopes shattered.

The blazing flame in the depths of his pupils was extinguished in an instant, and he looked at Rong Sleeping Crane with some blank eyes.

Rong Sleeping Crane didn't blink his eyes, and said calmly: "What's the matter, you continue?" ”

“…… You don't seem surprised? Of course, Meng Guiyu couldn't continue, his so-called important thing was nothing more than deceiving the opportunity to assassinate Rong Sleepy Crane, and he would be silent for a while before he said in a hoarse voice, "Actually, I saw that you haven't drunk tea since you came in, and even I deliberately drank it myself, trying to lead you to drink tea subconsciously, and you didn't touch it, so I felt that I was ...... tonight I'm afraid I won't be able to kill you. Did you know early on that I was going to do something to you? ”

"It's the same if you know it or not." Rong Sleeping Crane said calmly, "I've encountered a lot of assassinations and plots, do you think it's easy to make a living at sea?" If a layman like you wants to attack me, if you can succeed, I will be buried at the bottom of the sea! ”

He picked up the tea bowl casually and drank it all in Meng Guiyu's stunned gaze, "This kind of tea with dozens of pennies in a random pharmacy is added to the kind of sweat medicine, do you really think that if I drink it, I will be at your mercy?" ”

"......" Meng Guiyu looked at Rong Sleeping Crane, who was casual after drinking the tea with ingredients, and spoke for a long time before he said, "Why didn't you ask me why I did something to you?" ”

Rong Sleeping Crane chuckled lightly and said, "Do you still have to ask this?" You and I don't have any grievances, and this is just for the sake of the five banquets! ”

“…… You already knew? Meng Guiyu was silent for a while, and said in a cold tone, "Isn't it?" ”

Before Rong Sleeping Crane could answer, he had already said to himself, "Of course you know! After all, when you broke my idea of getting close to the big house before, it was only a few days since you came to Chang'an? Can you see through my mind that I have never told anyone, how can you not see the true attitude of the big room, the second room, and the third room towards our fourth room?! ”

After a long sigh, Meng Guiyu suddenly raised his voice, "But you didn't say anything!! ”

"Not even a euphemistic reminder !!"

"Just watching my sister being calculated!!"

"You are also a person who has a sister, even if you may not have brother and sister feelings for the county lord of Kangzhao, but Guihuan is only one year younger than the county lord of Kangzhao...... I'll help you again and again, you...... You ......"

He was originally furious, but he didn't know why, but when he said this, he suddenly lost all his spirit, and felt that he couldn't continue to question: In any case, Meng Guihuan had already been tricked, and after all, he would miss out on his carefully selected sister-in-law, so what was the use of having a seizure with Rong Sleeping Crane at this time?

Looking at Meng Guiyu's tearful appearance, Rong Sleeping Crane's expression was flat: "Isn't it clear at a glance that your three uncles are uneasy and kind to your four rooms?" You yourself are obsessed with the idea of relying on them to get ahead and don't want to wake up, even if I told you that...... Will you believe me? Or do you think I'm sowing discord?

There was sarcasm in his eyes, "As the saying goes, there is a reason for intimacy." Moreover, why do you think that the relationship between you and me is so profound that I will frequently mention it to you? ”

He also said, "Since you know that I don't have a brother-sister relationship with Kang Zhaocun, how can you be delusional that your sister will get similar treatment in my mind?" I don't have the idea of having three wives and four concubines! ”

Meng Guiyu cried silently for a long time before he cleaned up his emotions, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped his face, and said in a dumb voice: "I can't play Zheng Guogong and them in terms of background, I can't play with you in terms of heart and eyes, and I can't play with you in terms of status...... Scold! I used to think ...... Forget it, I don't talk about it, I actually know that your background is not something I can deal with at all, I ......"

"You just want to find a punching bag, it's best if I'm willing to listen to the bitterness and hardship of your brothers and sisters who have depended on each other over the years, as well as the warmth of relying on each other, and cry with you?" Rong Sleeping Crane interrupted him and said lightly, "It's just that I don't want to be a punching bag, and I'm not interested in hearing about your brother and sister's past...... In fact, if it weren't for the lack of people in my hands now, I wouldn't have broken the knife in your hand, but would have used it to send you and your younger siblings down directly! ”

Seeing Meng Guiyu's stunned expression, he sneered, "Do you know why you were so miserably calculated by your three uncles and the Queen Mother's aunt?" ”

Meng Guiyu's mind was in chaos at this moment, and he subconsciously shook his head.

"Because you haven't suffered enough, and your heart is not ruthless enough!" Rong Sleeping Crane said indifferently, "As the saying goes, if you eat a trench, you will grow wise." Even if there are wise elders' teachings, if you don't experience them yourself, it will be difficult to remember them for a long time. I'll give you a ready-made example is Kang Zhao, her father and grandfather are actually shrewd people, and her aunt is a powerful character who doesn't let her eyebrows go! But you see how innocent she looks...... Of course, I don't care, she's naïve or not. I'm here anyway! ”

"The ancients once had a poem saying that what is on paper is shallow in the end, and you must know that you have to bow to it. That's what I'm talking about! ”

"Your parents died young, and an aunt and three uncles held grudges against you and ignored you...... But it's just a matter of ignoring it! ”

"Compared to those who see their brothers and wives dead, they rush down to fight for family property and land, and even quietly sell young nephews and nieces to traffickers...... Your fate is good enough! ”

"So although you brothers and sisters have a grudge against your aunt and uncle, but the Queen Mother sent you a letter to the earl and gave a little benefit, you still quickly posted it, regarded yourself as a disciple of the Meng family, and considered the pros and cons from the perspective of the entire Meng family!"

"After all, it's because they weren't cruel enough to you before, so you still have a lot of expectations for them!"

"You even think you can take advantage of the contradictions between them and calculate them in turn......"

"However, you have forgotten that your queen aunt and three uncles were born in their early years. The Meng clan can have today, relying on the four of them! ”

"Although it is said that the Queen Mother's family will inevitably have a period of prosperity, don't forget, under what circumstances did the Meng family rise?"

"The biggest opponent on the surface is King Gaomi, who is the son of the clan who has received the full support and legacy of the first emperor!"

"Besides, do you think that Duke Huan, as an auxiliary minister, would like to see his relatives powerful?"

"Duke Huan is a veteran of the two dynasties who even the first emperor is helpless, a great Confucian in the sea, and peach and plum are all over the world!"

"Under the suppression of these two, your three uncles are not even a showman, and they have developed the Meng family, which was not even an ordinary rich family, to the present day...... But you still think that you can use and calculate them, but you are so naïve, what's so strange about being cheated by them? ”

Meng Guiyu listened, his expression changed several times, and he said astringently after a long time: "It's me who is arrogant!" ”

He closed his eyes tiredly, and there was deep remorse and pain in his tone, "I knew that today, I shouldn't have been close to the Queen Mother and the big house ...... in the first place."

"Wouldn't that sister of yours be dragged out to be a pawn?" Rong Sleepy Crane sneered when he heard this, and said lightly, "And you are not even qualified to get the current position of General Zuo Weiwei, let alone talk about the hope of seeking justice for your sister!" ”

He said slowly, "Wake up! The Meng family just needs an imperial heir who has the blood of the Meng family, is young enough, and can be raised by Queen Meng! In order to achieve this goal at the lowest cost, it is impossible for you girls in the fourth room to hide from it! Don't say that you don't take the initiative to get in front of the Queen Mother, that is, you married off all your two younger sisters early, believe it or not, as long as they live, the Meng family can let them have a 'misunderstanding' with the clan relatives like the King of Guangling who have to enter the Guangling Palace? ”

Meng Guiyu's hands and feet were cold when he heard this, he was dazed for a moment, and laughed miserably: "I know what you mean!" For Meng, the existence of our four rooms is to provide chess pieces and sacrifices! If I want to rebel and take revenge...... Is there only one way to go? ”

He took a deep breath, "That'...... Why do you make me believe that you won't treat us the same as Meng's?! ”

Rong Sleeping Crane glanced at him in surprise: "Why should I make you believe it?" Do you have any other options? ”

"......" Meng Guiyu was silent again for a long time, and suddenly said, "I'm curious, what kind of bitterness and misery have you experienced in the fifteen years that you have been living abroad, so that you have no trust in the Gaomi King and his wife, so that you would rather hand over the Chunbo Lake Water Master to me than seize this opportunity to contribute to the Gaomi King?" ”

When he asked, he didn't really want to know anything, but he was angry that Rong Sleeping Crane had been suppressing him, and he wanted to stab Rong Sleeping Crane.

I didn't want to let Sleeping Crane smile slightly, and said, "Chongxinbo, I'm different from you!" For you, it is a desperate hatred and an unrelieved shame, for me it is called the edge of the sword from the sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms from the bitter cold! After all, all the grudges that can be avenged at any time and the difficulties and obstacles that have been leveled are just stepping stones before reaching the top! ”

Seeing his calmness without doing anything, and the confidence in his starry eyes, Meng Guiyu pressed his chest and took a deep breath for a while before resisting the urge to pounce and fight with him...... Mainly, he knew that he would definitely not be able to fight.
