Chapter 11 Fate Makes People

After Li Chu left, Meng Sanqian was very irritable, and kept receiving messages from the Queen Mother urging him to return to the court, so he could only order to speed up, which was funny to think about, Li Chu left, the army seemed to have no one to remember that he had come, and there were no more accidents, and everything returned to its original appearance.

Ten days later, the army returned to the court, and the people stood on both sides, looking at the heroic Meng Sanqian.

The queen mother and the emperor held a banquet in the palace to entertain the heroes, and Meng Sanqian went.

"Queen Mother." Meng Sanqian clasped his hands into fists and bowed.

"Aiqing doesn't need to be polite, this battle is really beautiful, and now that the Qi country has been surrendered, those small countries, forgive them and don't dare to make a mistake. You have done such a great thing, what reward do you want, tell me. "The Queen Mother is in a good mood, and her desire to dominate the world is just around the corner.

"Queen Mother, the minister doesn't want any reward, but you promised, after this battle, let me return to my hometown, now the country of Qi is obedient, the world is peaceful, and I have no reason to stay here." I also hope that the Queen Mother will allow me to go into hiding. Meng Sanqian pleaded, he really couldn't find any reason to stay here.

"But the current situation is still unstable, although the Qi State has surrendered, but has not yet reduced the soldiers, in case they rebel again, then where will my Wu State find a person like you who is as bold as you?" Empress Dowager Wu still doesn't want to let Meng Sanqian leave like this, after all, no one knows whether Meng Sanqian will go to other countries to serve as commanders after he leaves, and the situation in Wu has not yet stabilized, so it is really not a wise move to let Meng Sanqian leave at this time.

"Queen Mother, don't worry, although I am leaving, only Wu Guo needs it, and I will come back to help at any time." Meng Sanqian could also roughly guess what the Queen Mother was worried about.

"Wu State needs you all the time, although the State of Qi is now obedient on the surface, but behind the scenes, he is still training his troops, and a few days ago he also caught a few people from the secret soldiers of the State of Qi in the capital, at this critical moment, how can you let it go." The Queen Mother also came to play a rogue game, and letting Meng Sanqian leave is equivalent to leaving a hidden danger for her world, she is not stupid.

"Queen Mother, you have a high status, you are true to your word, and going back on your word will only make people in the world question." Meng Sanqian was a little anxious, and he was a little speechless for a while, his temper was not very good these days, Li Chu left, and he felt that the surroundings had returned to a cold and boring state.

"Questioning? Do you think your siblings will question me as much as you do? Or are you ready to leave on your own, leaving them powerless and powerless in this palace? "If the soft one doesn't work, the hard one will come, and the younger brothers and sisters are Meng Sanqian's weakness, which was the case back then, and it is now.

"Queen Mother, you promised, besides, this matter has nothing to do with the younger brothers and sisters, you always involve them, it was then, and it is now, isn't this difficult for a strong man?" Meng Sanqian also softened his tone, yes, his younger brothers and sisters are in the hands of the Queen Mother, and it is naïve for him to want to get out. Who made him born to be a soft-hearted person, when the Queen Mother saved their three brothers and sisters, he used several years of war to repay, in exchange for a ruthless person, so many years, he has long been secretly plotting chaos, this Wu country may have changed hands long ago, but on the contrary, this person is Meng Sanqian.

"As for you, just do it honestly in your position for another year, and after I successfully cut off all the forces of the Qi State, I will let your brother and sister leave. Okay, don't say anything, today was supposed to be a good day, but it was all mixed up by you. Go to the front hall for a feast. ”

The Queen Mother waved her hand and did not let Meng Sanqian continue.

Seeing that the Queen Mother was hard-hearted, Meng Sanqian did not continue to toss and take it, and complained about going to the front hall to attend the banquet, but as soon as he left the palace gate of the Queen Mother, his sister Meng Yunlan threw herself into his arms.

"Brother, you are so powerful, the Queen Mother and those ministers are praising you." Meng Yunlan's heart was overjoyed, her brother was her pillar in the harem, and it was her brother's meritorious service on the front line that she could enjoy the treatment that she was now comparable to a princess.

"Yes." Meng Sanqian smiled, he didn't care about the evaluation of these people. I was just afraid that my sister would be worried, so I still pulled out a smile.

"That's natural, brother, you don't know, the sons and daughters of those ministers heard that you had won another battle, and they all came to congratulate me, and they also sent me a lot of jewelry, and a few princes and sons came to pursue me." The more Meng Yunlan talked, the happier she became, as if she had forgotten that she could enjoy the current treatment all because she had an elder brother--- Meng Sanqian.

"Brother, what's wrong? Why don't you go? Listening to Meng Yunlan's words, Meng Sanqian stopped and even put away the wry smile on his face.

"Have you forgotten what I told you? You are just a commoner, although you grew up in the palace, but you are just ordinary people, those princes and ministers, stay away, those jewelry, don't take those jewels that shouldn't be yours, can't you remember my words? Meng Sanqian wanted his younger brothers and sisters to remain simple, but this palace really didn't support people, and it became this kind of love and vanity.

"Brother, can you think about it not to be so old-fashioned, you are the general of Wu State, as your sister, the person closest to you, even the queen mother said that I and the princess can be on an equal footing." Meng Yunlan didn't listen to what Meng Sanqian said at all, and even felt that this brother was a little selfish, for so many years, his status had grown, but he had never helped his younger brothers and sisters to be promoted, if it wasn't for the help of the Queen Mother, the two of them didn't know how miserable they could live.

"How can I teach you, you don't belong in this palace, and being a transparent person in this palace is the greatest happiness. Why can't you listen to your brother? Meng Sanqian was really heartbroken for this younger brother and sister, but the truth was not as he wished.

"You're really ruined, I don't want to pay attention to you." Meng Yunlan was also angry, she was already very dissatisfied with her brother's behavior, but now she simply tore her face and quarreled.

Looking at his sister's resolute expression, Meng Sanqian shook his head, his heart was really like a knife.

There were a lot of people in the front hall, and everyone was looking forward to it, waiting for Meng Sanqian's arrival.

"Look, look, General Meng is here." As soon as the words came out, everyone's eyes were attracted, and in an instant, the ministers all crowded to Meng Sanqian, after all, this is the person who the Queen Mother is now reusing.

"General Meng, congratulations, you have won another country, the general is worthy of being a general, it really makes the enemy frightened." A lewd-faced minister began to pat himself on the back.

"Thank you, I'd better be seated first." The people around you and I are saying a word, and when I hear it, Meng Sanqiantou is about to explode.

"General, please." Seeing Meng Sanqian's impatient expression, everyone dispersed.

Entering the table, remembering that things had repeatedly gone wrong, Meng Sanqian was depressed, picked up the wine on the table, and poured it into his stomach one after another. Only when the Queen Mother entered the table, she stood up and gestured slightly, and then drank, thinking about raising a glass to eliminate her sorrows, but she was even more worried.

"Ladies and gentlemen, General Meng is triumphant today, and it is rare for everyone to get together in this palace, since it is such a good day, then the palace will announce a good thing again." The Queen Mother's eyes stayed on Meng Sanqian, but Meng Sanqian was only focused on drinking, and he didn't pay attention at all.

"That is, the marriage between General Meng and the girl of the Wu family is brought to the fore, and the schedule is also arranged." The Queen Mother's words made Meng Sanqian's wine wake up in an instant. Dare to love this queen mother, is she going to use marriage to firmly trap herself in this palace?

"Queen Mother, didn't you say that you would cancel this marriage at the time, and I also told Miss Wu, the minister is really not worthy of Miss Wu, the twisted melon is not sweet, please ask the Queen Mother to take back her life." Meng Sanqian is really full of grievances, and there is nowhere to sprinkle.

"Really? Wu girl, is it really the same as General Meng said? The Queen Mother set her sights on following Wu Tingting.

Wu Tingting's sister, as the imperial concubine, is also rich and powerful in her family, so the Queen Mother is naturally going to invite this banquet.

"Back to the Queen Mother, the thoughts of the courtiers and the general are not consistent, I am devoted to the general, if the Queen Mother gives the marriage to be fulfilled, the courtiers are grateful." Wu Tingting is telling the truth, she has been devoted to Meng for more than 3,000 years, and now that she has won such a favor from the Queen Mother, of course she can't let it go.

Wu Tingting's words made Meng Sanqian a little confused.

"Girl, in the next heart to return to the field, the girl's status is noble, I am afraid that it will be difficult to marry a chicken and a dog with a dog, rather than regretting marrying me in the future, it is better to find a good family, accompany you to the end of your life, and you don't have to be in my heart." Meng Sanqian tried his best to persuade him, how could this Miss Wu family get on the bar with herself, and she had no grievances.

"If the general returns to the field, I will accompany the woman to the end, the general does not have to worry about the woman, the woman is prepared. Moreover, the general is neither a chicken nor a dog, he is the person in a woman's heart, with the general by his side, the bitterness in the world is sweet. ”

Wu Tingting is also a temperamental person, and she recognized Meng Sanqian, but she never changed it.

Listening to her words, Meng Sanqian really wanted to die headlong, he was originally going to return to his hometown when he returned to the dynasty, but now he is fine, not only to stay in the palace, but also to marry a wife, can he only be dominated by these people.

"Emotional matters, pay attention to consensual thinking, although the girl is devoted to the next, but there is really no unintentional intention for the girl." The wine strengthens people's courage, and the strength of the wine is also up, even his face is flushed, and his worries are also left behind, Meng Sanqian said with an open heart, and he is not worried about everyone's opinions.

"Brother, what are you talking about?" On the side, Meng Sanqian's younger brother Meng Ziyi hurriedly pulled his sleeve and kept reminding him.

The Wu family is huge, next to this big tree, the three of them can have a long-term foothold in this palace, this is a blessing that others can't ask for, why is this brother's brain in water.

"I know what I'm talking about?" Meng Sanqian shook off his hand.

"The queen mother's kindness is appreciated, but the minister has no intention of the Wu family's girl, and if she is forced to be together, it will only be a mess."

"Feelings can be cultivated, although I have only met with the general a handful of times, but in the future, how will the general know that I will not become the general's sweetheart?" Wu Tingting was also a little anxious, and for a while she even put aside the etiquette to speak, and she didn't care about the eyes of the ministers present, she just wanted to be with Meng Sanqian, and nothing else.

"There is someone in my heart, I really can't pretend to be a girl, so I ask the girl to find another lover." Meng Sanqian made a straight face and unconsciously raised his tone.

"I think General Meng is a little drunk, Ziyi, hurry up and send your brother back to the mansion, and wait until the wine wakes up to discuss this matter." Seeing that things were about to get out of control, the Queen Mother hurriedly came out to play a round.

Meng Ziyi dragged Meng Sanqian outside the hall.

"Brother, you're drunk, go back first, Li Chu, and send him back to the Meng Mansion. I still have to play a round in the front hall, brother, you can go back and rest first. Mencius summoned his attendants. However, when Meng Sanqian heard this name, he was stunned for an instant and turned his head, it was really Li Chu, not a duplicate name.

Although Li Chu was a little surprised, he quickly returned to normal and supported Meng Sanqian. Meng Sanqian's whole person leaned on Li Chu's body, Meng Sanqian, who was still unapproachable just now, was obedient like a cat at the moment, and Meng Ziyi was a little surprised at that time, but now it is particularly important to solve the troubles left by Meng Sanqian in the front hall, as for this Li Chu, he is not in a hurry to ask again when he comes back.

"General, the sedan chair in your house has arrived." Li Chu didn't mention his departure, and Meng Sanqian didn't open his mouth, and the two had a tacit understanding as if they had never seen each other.

"No, you send me back." Xu is strength was so strong that Meng Sanqian couldn't even open his eyes.

"General, I don't know where your house is, so let's go back in a sedan chair." didn't expect to meet again, Meng Sanqian was coquettish.

"You carry me, carry me wherever you live, I'm so tired." Meng Sanqian muttered.

Looking at Meng Sanqian's appearance, although Li Chu was a little helpless, although this master had always been very special to himself before, and he always had no posture of a general in front of him, and he was often flamboyant, but he never expected that he would be so drunk and naïve, it is estimated that he felt ashamed when he thought of these things after he sobered up. Thinking of this, Li Chu couldn't help but laugh.

He helped himself so much before, and he couldn't bear to leave him like this, so he could only follow his requirements, carry him on his back, walk step by step, and specially pick a remote road to walk.

Along the way, Meng Sanqian didn't speak, just leaned on Li Chu's back, fate really loves to play tricks on people.
