Chapter 90

"How did you feel?" Yasuku asked again.

"It's dark, like I'm going to faint." Mo Sigui stared at An Jiu with suspicion on his face, but thinking that her meridians were completely destroyed, it was unlikely that she would shoot out the shocking strings again, and the power of the shocking strings was far more than that, so he put the discomfort of the moment just now behind him and stretched out his hand towards her, "The antidote is ready, bring the folding fan." ”

An Jiu was going to return it to him, but looking at the stinky fart, he felt a little unhappy, "Let's talk about saving people." ”

Mo Sigui snorted twice, no longer begged for a fan, turned his head and shouted for Aunt Ling to get some food, and when he filled his stomach, he went down the mountain alone with the medicine box on his back.

Aunt Ling couldn't help but be a little worried when she looked at him and looked like he was still a big child, but after thinking about it, he had already wandered alone many years ago, and her worries were really unnecessary.

After delivering food to Lou Xiaowu, Aunt Ling went to An Jiu.

"Mrs. Mei, my lady said that if you feel bored, let the slave maid lead you to her house." Ling Gu didn't dare to look at An Jiu, and lowered her head to explain, "The lady has always been good at fiddling with some mechanisms, and I know that you are good at archery, please go over and choose a few that you like." ”

Spiritual power is just one of the various products that Elder Zhi tried to detect when he was chasing the shocking string, after all, it is not the real shocking string, the lethality is very limited, the kind of blue crossbow that can be compared to guns and cannons has given An Jiu a new understanding of the weapons of this world, and has rekindled her enthusiasm for weapons.

"Okay." An Jiu will not be polite, and he will do what he thinks in his heart.

During the last trial, An Jiu saw Daolou Xiaowu's rope crossbow and light crossbow, and knew that she had mechanical talent, but after arriving at her house, he was still a little surprised.

Lou Xiaowu's room is huge, while the inner room only occupies one-tenth of the area, and the huge outer room only has a long table and a few stool piers. There are also many shelves attached to the wall, and the floor, table, and wall are filled with all kinds of instruments, including bows and crossbows.

Yasuku's eyes were drawn to a crossbow on the table, similar to the blue light crossbow in the hands of the enemy during the trial.

She stepped forward to take a closer look, and Aunt Ling saw that she was interested, so she explained, "This is something that the lady has been doing recently, and she said that it was broken." ”

Anjiu took an arrow and loaded it, walked to the door, and pulled the hanging knife against the tree in the courtyard, stabbing it with a bang. The bolt flew out with a glowing blue light, steadied itself on the trunk of the tree, and wrenched a piece of sawdust into the air.

Some of them are similar, but unfortunately the lethality is much lower than that kind of blue light crossbow, but Lou Xiaowu can make this kind of thing in a period of time just by looking at it, which shows that she has an extraordinary talent in machinery.

Aunt Ling felt An Jiu's appreciation, thinking that her lady seemed to like to be in contact with this cold Mei Shishi, so she wanted to get closer, "The lady was born prematurely. My health is not good, and I can't practice martial arts for more than two hours a day, so I like to fiddle with these. ”

An Jiu hummed and returned to the house. Sitting at the table, he began to fiddle with the crossbow in his hand.

The principle of the crossbow and the gun is the same, and she can quickly disassemble and assemble the sniper rifle with her eyes closed, so she knows its construction naturally.

Ling Gu saw that her preoccupation with the crossbow machine was somewhat similar to Lou Xiaowu's, and the sense of distance in her heart unconsciously narrowed a little. Tell her something about Lou Xiaowu.

With things to do, Anjiu enjoys being alone, working there alone. Didn't bother with Aunt Ling at all.

Aunt Ling felt bored after talking for a while, so she left her to fiddle alone.

Snow-covered rocky mountains are colder than elsewhere due to the presence of ice.

Mo Sigui went out, Lou Mingyue and An Jiu were quiet people, the whole mansion was silent, if it weren't for Aunt Ling's daily preparations, it wouldn't look like a place to live at all.

With Mo Sigui's antidote, the plague near Bianjing was alleviated, and the imperial court sent troops to burn the poisoned corpses, finally containing a huge crisis before the Chinese New Year.

Ten days later, two days before Chinese New Year's Eve, Mu Qianshan was ordered to rush to Meizhuang to pick up Meijiu and Mo Si back to Meihuali.

Elder Zhi was detained by the imperial court pending investigation, which greatly hurt the feelings of the Crane Control Army's family, and the way to deal with this matter clearly showed the emperor's distrust of the Crane Army family, making the little remaining relationship between the monarch and the minister appear to crack again.

In the matter of Knowle's suffering, although the Crane Control Army responded to Knowle's aid at the end, the hesitation to deal with it was still too chilling.

In this vast web of conspiracy, the enemy has won a great victory.

Mei has been forced to the point where she has to make a decision.

Plum blossoms.

On the shores of the lake, there are several buildings hidden behind the plum garden. They sit at the bottom of a gourd-shaped col, a tower-shaped study building, and hang a plaque that reads "Loyalty, Righteousness, and Righteousness".

Mei Zhengyan, the head of the Mei family, stood with his hands in his hands, frowning and staring at the words on the plaque.

A white dress fell silently not far away, and stood quietly with him for a long time.

"Zhengjing, Mei, where should I go?" Mei Zheng sighed.

The white clothes moved slightly, and Mei Zhengjing stepped on the snow and walked to his side, "Third brother, you know that I don't want to care about these troubles." ”

"It's time for your temperament to be restrained!" Mei Zhengyan looked at him with a gaze full of disappointment, and his tone was stern, "Even if the clan has designated you as one of the future successors, I have never forced you, and now that Tingjun is gone, shouldn't you take the initiative to shoulder the responsibility?!" ”

If it weren't for Mei Zhengjing's unintentional takeover of the family and his profligate form, the clan would not have decided to send Mei Tingjun out of the clan for a trial this time! Mei Zhengyan is not without resentment in his heart, although he does not need to be born and die as the head of the Mei family, how to protect the clan in a precarious relationship with the imperial court is more difficult than being born and dying. It should have been Mei Zhengjing's business, but he had to force his son to do it.

Mei Zhengyan was depressed, "It's okay if he folds this time, at least he doesn't have to bear the burden of the entire family, he is not the material in charge of the family." It's you! ”

Thinking of Mei Zhengjing, his anger was hooked again, "Mingsheng is full of know-how, but he is unwilling to pay for the family!" You're just watching Mei fall? ”

"Third brother." Mei Zhengjing finally got around, and didn't care about him, "When I was a child, I longed for the shadow of the Crane Army, and I also thought about leading the Mei family to serve the imperial court, just a few years ago. ”

As one of the candidates for the head of the family, he is bound to understand many things, but the more he learns, the more he finds that the gap between reality and imagination is too great: the precarious relationship between the Crane Army family and the imperial court; and the Crane Control Army, which was supposed to be a sharp blade to protect the Great Song Dynasty, has now become a butcher's knife in the hands of the Holy Lord to eliminate dissidents; The weakness of the imperial court in foreign relations......

These bloody facts shattered Mei Zhengjing's long-standing dream.

"Now Mei is in trouble. If the family wants to break away from the Crane Control Army, I, as a member of the Mei family, will do my best, but ......" Mei Zhengjing stared at the plaque of loyalty and righteousness, and his tone was categorical, "It is absolutely impossible for me to serve such an emperor and the court!" ”

Mei Zhengyan didn't think about it, but, "Mei's separation from the Crane Control Army is bound to sacrifice everyone who has become the shadow of the Crane Control Army." ”

"The third brother is too kind of a woman!" Mei Zhengjing Road. "A gentleman abandons flaws to pull out talents, and a strong man breaks his wrist to complete his quality. The pit viper is entangled, why not make a decision immediately? ”

Mei Zhengyan turned his head, and saw him standing in a long white dress, almost blending with the snow, and there was cold behind a pair of peach blossom eyes with sparkling eyes.

"I misjudged you." Mei Zhengyan couldn't tell what mood he was in, and said slowly, "You miss your eldest brother so much, I always thought that you were like Elder Qi. I never thought about it, but I looked like Elder Zhi in my bones. The wise are merciless. ”

Mei Zhengjing raised his eyebrows, "I'll just do it, let the third brother say it." But I'm really sorry for Elder Zhi, if he is ruthless, will he ruin his future just for the Mei family? With his talent, even if he is a zaifu, he can also make it. If he is ruthless, can he sacrifice decades of time for Mei's family? ”

asked rhetorically one by one, forcing Mei Zhengyan to be speechless. He had forgotten all of it. I only saw Elder Zhi's usual decisiveness and ruthlessness.

"The great wise man has great love, if he is always restrained, how can he achieve great things." Mei Zhengjing no longer dwelled on this issue, took out a bag from his arms and threw it to Mei Zhengyan, "Let's deal with the mole if you have time!" ”

Mei Zhengyan opened the bag and took out three residual letters from it, these letters had been burned to pieces, but after being pieced together by Mei Zhengjing, he could roughly see the contents, which were all letters written by the Crane Control Army Yulin Order to someone, including some orders to inquire into Mei's secrets.

Mei Zhengyan asked in a deep voice, "Where did you get these things?" ”

"Old lady of the big house." Mei Zhengjing said, "You are busy all day, naturally not like me, an idler who pays attention to the inner courtyard, I have noticed that she has been for a while, but she has not been caught with evidence, the situation has been stormy recently, Elder Zhi has been suppressed, the above must want to know the true reaction of the Mei clan, in case there is a rebellion, they can deal with it as soon as possible!" So thinking that there must have been frequent contact recently, I squatted on her side, and sure enough, I found this thing. ”

"You mean, the old lady of the big house is the dark line planted by the saint in the Mei family?" Mei Zhengyan was horrified.

"The evidence is conclusive, if the person behind her is not the current saint and the first emperor, he is the mastermind behind this attack on Knowles." Mei Zhengjing sneered, "It's always a traitor." So third brother, you see how well Dafang understands current affairs. ”

The people in the big house withered, and among the few people left, Mei Yanran first fled with her daughter, and then the old lady collaborated with the enemy.

"This matter is not trivial, let's go back to the council hall first, you come with me." Mei Zhengyan put away his things and stuffed them into his arms.

"Third brother!" Mei Zhengjing was about to stop it, but Mei Zhengyan's figure had long since disappeared.

Mei Zhengyan was anxious, it would be good if the old lady was the dark line of the saint, although it was tricky, but at least the current situation would not be easy for the saint to attack the Mei family, but if the old lady was a collaborator and traitor, the Mei family would end up with the same fate as the Wu family sooner or later.

Knowles can at least move this plaque of loyalty and righteousness to the ancestral hall now, and Mei's may even be implicated in the ancestors who sacrificed their lives for the country this time!

The Mei clan is a shadow family, and the speed of responding to the call is extremely fast, Mei Zhengyan sent a signal while rushing to the council hall, and when Mei Zhengjing arrived, several elders had already been summoned to the council hall.

Such an urgent move must not be a trivial matter, and he will not be able to find the next thing to prevaricate for a while, so Mei Zhengjing did not stop it anymore, and let Mei Zhengyan tell the matter.

It's a pity that a few elders are either temperamental people and come up with too extreme ideas, or they are obsessed with studying martial arts, and they don't have any good ideas about this kind of thing.

This result was completely within Mei Zhengjing's expectations, but fortunately, the elders were calm enough, and Mei Zhengyan asked for secrecy, but he was not worried about them leaking the news.

The matter was put on hold for the time being, and the whole plum blossom began to prepare for the New Year.

The next evening, Anjiu and Mo Sigui returned to the village.

The long-lost Yuwei residence is brightly lit, and An Jiu returns control of his body to Mei Jiu.

"Lady, the slave has cut new clothes for you." Haruka had a little more joy on his face.

When she left from Meizhuang, Mei Jiu felt like she would stay in Knowles for a long time, but she didn't expect to come back so soon, she wondered in her heart, "Yaoye, do you know why Lu Dao picked me up?" ”

"You can't spend the New Year in someone else's house." Haruka didn't think there was anything wrong, "I heard that Rokuro asked the head of the family to bring the lady back." ”

"Sixth uncle?" Mei Jiu has a good impression of that uncle who acts unreasonably, because he once helped An Jiu.

"Sister!" A crisp voice shouted outside the door.

"It's fifteen mothers." Haruka said and went to open the door.

Mei Jiu hadn't seen Mei Ruyan for a long time, and she missed it very much, so she happily got up and went outside, "Sister." ”

Mei Ruyan wore a Hunan concubine-colored jacket, a green and white Luo skirt, black hair was combed, and a one-sided hanging bun was left on the right ear, which looked charming and lively.

Her face has grown a little longer, and her narrow phoenix eyes are more charming than before.

"Sister." Mei Ruyan took Mei Jiu's hand, and her bright smile infected her.

My slippery and delicate jade hand was very uncomfortable for An Jiu, but feeling Mei Jiu's heartfelt joy, and thinking that she had ruined her meridians, it was not easy for her to be so happy, so she put up with it for the time being.

"Since I came to Meizhuang, I haven't talked to you properly." Mei Ruyan smiled with tears, "It's just a few months, but I've lived like ten years, and I'm so worried about my sister leaving these days." ”

Mei Jiu's heart was moved, and he choked up, "Ah Shun." ”

Hearing this name, Mei Ruyan's face was unnatural for a moment, and then returned to normal, wiped her tears, and said with a smile, "Sister, let's go to the middle of the mountain to see the lanterns, I will see it when I get out of school in the evening, it's beautiful!" ”

She was crying and laughing at this time, but she seemed quite genuine.

Mei Jiu turned her head and asked Haruka with her eyes.

Yao Ye smiled, "Dress warmly, and the slave will accompany you." ”

"Good!" Mei Jiuxi smiled, and went into the inner room with Haruka to change clothes.

Because it was night, there was no need to dress up carefully, Mei Jiu only wore a silk skirt, a jacket of the same color, and black hair was loosely braided.

"My sister is so beautiful!" Mei Ruyan admired.

The two of them walked hand in hand to the mountain on the other side of the clan school.

Mei Jiu suddenly remembered that Mei Ruyan was in love with Mr. Mu Mo, so he asked in a low voice, "Sister, how does Mr. Mo treat you?" (To be continued......)
