In the pavilion, Zhu Gaochi, the prince of King Yan, sat upright, with a small square table standing in front of him, and there were all kinds of dim sum on the silver plate on the square table, a eunuch holding a teapot, and another eunuch serving Zhu Gaochi with dim sum.

The space is very spacious, covered with brocade mattresses, Meng Xingli said: "I have seen the son of the world." ”

"Meng Baihu doesn't have to be formal. Lone invited you to come, because there are some things I want to ask. Although Zhu Gaochi was fat, he was fat and honest, with a smile on his round face, "Wang An, serve tea and snacks to Meng Baihu...... Does Meng Baihu like sweet or salty? ”

"Go back to the world, don't pick the lowly."

"Then let's do both, Wang An."

"The slave obeys."

The eunuch promised, and a small square table, a cup of tea, and two plates of snacks were quickly placed in front of Meng.

The tea is still steaming, and the snacks have a sweet aroma.

Zhu Gaochi said with a smile: "These are all the snacks that Gu likes, Meng Baihu try them." ”

"Xie Shizi."

Meng picked up the teacup and said secretly in his heart, no wonder Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui can't compare to this person's scheming, it's not a paragraph at all. His throat was almost dry at Zhu Gaoxu's, and he didn't drink a sip of cold water.

In fact, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui did not do it right, as Meng, there is indeed no need to be so courteous. But with a contrast like Zhu Gaochi, whether it is really generous or deliberately highlighting the meanness of the brothers, once the psychological gap is formed, it is difficult to change it.

Being a human being is really a science.

"Humble thanks to the son."

Meng thanked him again, but Zhu Gaochi still smiled and waved his hand, "Meng Baihu is like this, but it is difficult for Gu to speak." ”

"The humble dare not ask, the prince has something to ask, the humble definitely has one thing to say and two to say, and he does not dare to hide it at all."

"Meng Baihu is a cheerful person." Zhu Gaochi waved his hand to signal the other eunuchs in the pavilion to retreat, leaving only Wang An, "In this matter, only Meng Baihu can solve the puzzle for Lonely." ”

Zhu Gaochi turned to one side, and Wang An took out a few drawings from the bookbox on the side, which depicted the pier platform built by Meng officiating.

"Lone saw this picture at his father's place, and he was really happy. Beiping city defense is in need of this kind of enemy platform, Lone asked his father, has begun to build on the city wall, but encountered some problems. ”

Zhu Gaochi's voice was very gentle, and the speed of speech was a little slow, Meng listened very carefully, and when Zhu Gaochi raised all the questions, he thought for a moment and said, "Yu Shizi, I do have some thoughts about this. Please also give me a pen and a few pieces of paper. ”

I remember that after the king of Yan raised his army, the southern army had besieged Beiping City, at that time it was Zhu Gaochi who defended the city, and the disparity in strength was huge, and when it was most critical, Princess Yan personally put on armor and walked on the head of the city, and the civilians in the city also spontaneously organized resistance, which shows the desire of the people.

Beiping City was held after the most rear, but the losses were not small. At this time, King Yan had not yet raised troops, but Zhu Gaochi had already considered the problem of strengthening the city defense.

It can be seen that Zhu Gaoxu did not lose unjustly.

"Prince, please see, the pier built by the humble is to adapt to the terrain of the lookout, and some changes need to be made to the city wall, and the wall is high, and a secret door can be set up......"

Meng Zhilu said that this move obviously has a tendency to take refuge in the world, and Zhu Gaoxu will definitely be suspicious when he learns it. But his family is in Beiping, and the strength of Beiping City is directly related to the safety of the family.

If he comes back alive from Nanjing, he must find a way to move his family to the city, and the people should also be reminded there.

Meng was single-minded, drawing the remodeled city wall in his hand, thinking about how to settle his family. Zhu Gaochi ordered Wang An to move the square table in front of him, and looked intently at the gradually formed city defense map written by Meng.

As time passed, the smile on Zhu Gaochi's face gradually disappeared, his expression became serious, and his chubby fingers tapped his knees, Yan Wang was used to this when he was thinking, and so did Zhu Gaochi's three brothers.

After the drawings were drawn, Meng sat quietly on the side, waiting for Zhu Gaochi to ask questions again.

What he painted is a comprehensive version of the ancient Great Wall and the ancient city tower that later generations have seen. I don't know much about many places, and I can only draw simple outlines. But in Zhu Gaoxu's eyes, such drawings are rare, which shows the ingenuity of the carritographer.

After a long time, Zhu Gaochi exclaimed, "Meng Baihu is a great talent." ”

"Don't dare to be lowly."

Anyone who has been crawling around in the workplace knows that when the boss praises, you must be humble, and you must be humble if you are not modest, unless you don't want to have a next time.

"Deserved, deserved."

Zhu Gaochi asked a few more things that he couldn't understand, but Meng's memory was vague, and it was a little difficult to explain.

"Back to the world, humility is just on paper, whether it is feasible or not, you still need to consult experienced craftsmen."

"You're right, you're in a hurry."

Zhu Gaochi is indeed a generous person, and he did not blame Meng for this. He picked up the pen and paper used by Meng, wrote a short message, and put it in an envelope with the drawings and handed it to Wang An.

"Shen Qianhu sent someone back to Beiping to present his father."

"The slave obeys."

Zhu Gaochi is gentle on the surface, but he is resolute in his actions.

"Don't forget to say that this drawing was donated by Meng Baihu."

"Yes."

Changing hands is a favor, clean and beautiful.

Needless to say, the wise should appreciate it.

Wang An pushed open the side door with the envelope and happened to see Shen Xuan waiting outside the car.

"It's not the middle of the day, and the king can ask the prince if he wants to leave immediately."

Shen Xuan's voice came, Meng Er's ears moved, and his expression did not change.

Zhu Gaochi heard the reply, nodded and said, "Everything is arranged by Shen Qianhu." ”

When the team set off, Meng naturally should get out of the car and leave, but he didn't want to be retained by Zhu Gaochi.

"Lonely with Meng Baihu at first sight, there are still questions I want to ask."

What can Meng say? Say he's not happy to be asked?

No matter how generous Akihito Sect is in the future, he will click on him.

The team was about to leave, and Shen Xuan didn't see Meng come out of the Shizi's pavilion, but Wang An, who was waiting for the prince, discussed with him that the prince had a letter to send back to Beiping, and he needed to send a few guards.

Shen Xuan frowned, his black eyes condensed slightly, and looked at the frame of the King of Gaoyang County, and sure enough, a eunuch trotted over.

"Shen Qianhu?"

Wang An saw that Shen Xuan was silent, and reminded again, "The prince is still waiting." ”

Shen Xuan bowed his head, called three cavalrymen from the left guard of Yanshan, and gave an explanation, and the three of them took the letter and immediately turned around and returned.

Ni Qianhu, who was traveling with him, came over on a horse and glanced in the direction where the cavalry left, "But the prince has something to order?" ”

"Yes."

Ni Qianhu asked a few more words, but Shen Xuan only said that it was a letter from the prince, and as for what was written in the letter, he didn't know what to say.

"Really?"

Shen Xuan's expression suddenly turned a little colder, "That's true, Xuan still has something to do, and it's inconvenient to accompany him." ”

As soon as the words fell, the reins were pulled, and the red steed neighed and ran towards the head of the team.

Ni Qianhu stood in place, his face a little embarrassed.

In the pavilion, Zhu Gaochi asked the eunuch to take out the chessboard, "There is still a long way to go, why don't you let Gu Ling teach Meng Baihu chess skills?" ”

Looking at the checkered chessboard and two boxes of black and white chess pieces that the eunuch posed, Meng smiled bitterly, "Shizi, you won't be humble." ”

Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, one of the four arts, can't be? Zhu Gaochi was a little surprised.

"Hui Shizi, this kind of chess, it is true that it will not be humble." Meng scratched his chin, "Chess and the like are okay." ”

Follow the example of the ancestors and take out backgammon to fill the numbers?

Meng pouted, backgammon is said to have originated in the Yellow Emperor period, which is longer than the history of Go. The Chinese who invented Go have never seen backgammon? Is it true that the ancients did not have an IQ?

Playing backgammon with a high IQ like Zhu Gaochi? Meng said, thank you for not being sensitive.

"Chess? Also available. Zhu Gaochi said, "Meng Baihu killed the enemy on the battlefield, so he naturally liked this kind of thing, and he was negligent." ”

The eunuch changed into a chessboard and took out a pair of chess pieces made of ivory.

Meng was stunned again, he was really a child of the royal family, and he was extravagant enough!

Along the way, Meng and Zhu Gaochi fought repeatedly on the chessboard, and the eunuchs who were waiting on the side were also watching with great interest.

Zhu Gaochi treats people kindly, serves him by his side, as long as he abides by the rules, it is okay to relax a little.

Halfway through the chess game, Zhu Gaochi's stomach suddenly sounded with a roar, and there was no need to order, and a eunuch immediately sent a snack.

Five sets of dim sum, one game of chess was not finished, and all of them bottomed out.

Zhu Gaochi hadn't eaten yet, so he asked the eunuch to fetch it.

"Meng Baihu also uses some?"

"Xie Shizi, you are not hungry."

As soon as there was silence in the car, Meng immediately realized that his words were abrupt, but fortunately, Zhu Gaoxu was not angry, but slapped his stomach, "Lonely is like this, no way." ”

picked up another piece of snack, with a slightly bitter expression in his expression, "Lone also wants to follow his father's horse and whip, but it's a pity that ......"

Meng understands Zhu Gaochi's mood, both men and women, they all want to have a good figure, don't they miss their eight-pack abs all day long?

For Zhu Gaochi, it is also difficult for the tall and mighty father and the two younger brothers who also have a tall and mighty tendency.

is all born to a father, only he looks like this, and he has to be not treated by King Yan, he is not blackened or distorted, it is really not easy.

However, it is said that Emperor Hongwu liked him very much and personally chose him as the prince of Yanwang.

Could it be because the old people love the relationship between the big fat grandchildren?

If you want to think about it, you have to keep your mouth closed.

Meng bowed his head and studied the chessboard carefully.

Probably because he thought of something sad, Zhu Gaochi lost the mood to eat. asked the eunuch to remove the plate, and his honest face rarely brought a touch of melancholy, "The situation of loneliness, presumably Meng Baihu also knows." ”

The topic changed suddenly, and Meng's mind buzzed, the king of Gaoyang County had just passed, and the prince came again?

With the previous foreshadowing, if he bluntly refused, he would be too ignorant.

Can you refuse...... This is indeed not the time to take sides.

During the Yongle Emperor period, Zhu Gaochi's status remained unchanged, and the life of those around him was not very easy. Except for those who are more lurking, most of them have been entertained by Jinyiwei for free. It is not for nothing that there are people who have come out of prison alive, but there are very few.

Thinking of this, Meng's back began to feel cold.

No, you can't let this person make his words clear, otherwise there will be no room for reversal!

"Lonely ......"

Zhu Gaochi was about to continue, when Meng suddenly gave a big gift, and slammed it, "Back to the son, the trouble of the son, I empathize with me!" ”

"Huh?"

"The humble is often ridiculed for this, his military exploits are doubted, and he was almost beheaded by Shangguan!"

"Huh?" Zhu Gaochi was a little stunned.

"Humility is a congenital deficiency, but the son of the world has no such limitations."

“……”

"Shizi!" Meng Meng raised his head, tears of excitement still hung in the corners of his eyes, "I believe that as long as the method is right, the son of the world will definitely be able to achieve his wishes, tall and mighty, heroic and heroic, riding horses and whips!" ”

Zhu Gaochi finally understood what Meng was talking about.

Fingers lightly tapped on his knees, avoiding the heavy and light, deliberately misinterpreting his meaning, but it was also reasonable.

Sure enough, he is a smart man.

However, there is nothing that the good doctors in the palace can't do, and a hundred households will have a good plan?

"What Meng Baihu said is true?"

"Naturally!" Meng's expression was extremely sincere, "This time I entered Beijing, the prince can give it a try." ”

Zhu Gaochi looked at Meng, his expression was no longer gentle, and his momentum changed suddenly.

Meng lowered his head, and sure enough, he was the son of King Yan.

After a long time, a voice finally came from overhead, "Yes." ”

If it can really help him achieve his wish, even if it is just to let him walk freely and no longer need support, it is also good.

As for the rest, it may not be pursued.

Fortunately, he is facing the future Ming Renzong, and if he is replaced by Lao Tzu, Meng will not die and will shed his skin.

The team passed through the city of Jinan and did not enter the city to rest, but continued to hurry.

Meng was finally let go by Zhu Gaochi and returned to the team. Thinking back to the past, I couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat, it was really not easy to deal with King Yan's family. Excessive use of the brain, people are a little drowsy, head little by little, drowsy, sudden mutations, the originally docile military horse, suddenly stumbling.

The guards who were close to him hurriedly tightened the reins, and the other guards immediately protected the frame of the prince and the king of the county to prevent the three of them from being disturbed.

"What's wrong?"

Zhu Gaosui peeked through the car door and learned that Youma was startled, so he immediately turned around and said, "Second brother, Youma is shocked!" ”

There was no panic in his voice, only excitement.

Zhu Gaochi was unable to move, so he just sent someone to come and see, and when he heard the eunuch report that Meng's horse was shocked, he approached the side door and looked at the frame of the king of Gaoyang County, his expression was heavy, was it an accident?

The situation of the frightened horse is getting worse and worse, surrounded by guards, unable to run away, can only neigh in place, raise two front hooves, and any horse and guard who dares to approach will be kicked and bitten.

Meng hugged the horse's neck tightly, he must not be thrown off, he will be seriously injured if he does not die.

Several of the guards drew their bows and arrows, but they did not release them, for fear of hurting the people on their horses.

Meng was summoned by the king of Gaoyang County and the prince one after another, even if he was only a hundred households, his status was not ordinary.

What's more, he is under the command of Shen Qianhu, Shen Qianhu protects his shortcomings, and he is willing to take military sticks for the soldiers under his command, and he has already spread from Kaipingwei. If it really hurts him, Shen Qianhu will definitely have no good fruit to eat.

Just as he was hesitating, the sound of sharp arrows breaking through the air suddenly sounded, and three arrows in a row, all of them were shot on the horse's legs.

The military horse screamed and fell to the ground with a bang, the feathers of the arrow's tail still trembling.

Shen Xuan put away his bow and arrows and jumped off his horse, and the guards naturally made a way.

The frightened horse foamed at the mouth, and the soldiers who knew horses knew that without Shen Xuan's three arrows, the horse would be useless.

Meng wanted to stand up, but his legs and feet were uncontrollably weak, he gritted his teeth, supported his hands on the horse's back, and finally stood firmly, and the next moment, he was suddenly grabbed by a strong hand on his arm.

"A thousand households?"

Raising his head, Shen Xuan was looking at him, and a flash of appreciation flashed in his black eyes.

"Can you stand, can you go?"

"Go back to thousands of households, you can mark it."

"Okay." Shen Xuan let go of his hand, "Someone is coming." ”

Someone immediately stepped forward to deal with the startled horse, Shen Xuan and Ni Qianhu personally returned to the three of them, and then the prince ordered to camp nearby tonight.

"How did the horse start?"

Shizi and the King of Gaoyang County both asked the same thing, and Shen Xuan's answer was the same, "I don't know for the time being." ”

At night, the tents of the prince and the king of the county were the first to be erected, and a bonfire was lit up to illuminate the entire camp.

Meng was supposed to lead a team of guards to patrol in the middle of the night, but was told that someone was on duty for him.

Is this extra care?

Just as he was about to rest, another guard came to him, and Shen Qianhu wanted to see him.

Shen Qianhu was invited, Meng didn't dare to delay, got up suddenly, and followed the guards to Shen Xuan's tent.

Shen Xuan was on duty in the second half of the night and was sitting in the tent at this time.

The guards took the people and retreated, the tent curtain was lowered, and Meng immediately saluted, "I have seen a thousand households under the mark." ”

"Get up."

When Meng stood up, Shen Xuan supported his chin with one hand and looked at him quietly, the firelight reflected the dark eyes deeper and deeper, and the deep voice sounded again, "Come here, take off your clothes." ”

In the past, still undressed?

Oh Maiga!

Sure that he did not have auditory hallucinations, Meng Shishilang was extremely shocked and instantly petrified.
