Standing beside Wei Yongzhi, a young man with a somewhat gloomy face, a goatee, twenty-five or sixteen-year-old nodded.

Unlike Wei Yongzhi, who was dressed in a short dress and had a muscular appearance, this person was wearing a robe and dressed as a scholar, which made him very conspicuous in this group of fleeing people. He saluted Liu Yu: "In Lower Pingchang Meng Chang, with his brothers Meng Huaiyu and Meng Longfu, I have seen Liu Lizheng. ”

Wei Yongzhi said with a smile: "This Brother Meng is not ordinary!" Brother Tan and I are both good at fighting and short at strategy, and he is the military advisor in our group. Along the way, our small team of people, after listening to Brother Meng's words, went out day and night, avoided the main road, only walked on the grass, and several times they were able to avoid the pursuit of Hu Qi, and everyone obeyed him. ”

Liu Yu nodded: "Since Yongjia, batches of Han refugees in the Central Plains have gone south, and most of them have been intercepted and killed by the Hu people, and most of those who can come to Jiangnan alive have relied on the leadership of the exile marshal. ”

"These homeless commanders, most of them bring thousands of families, and some bring dozens of families, all of them are organizing these homeless people together, each fulfilling their responsibilities, and moving and marching, just like a war."

"Brother Meng also has the legacy of Su Jun, the famous handsome ancestor of the exiles when I founded the country." Liu Yu smiled while looking at Meng Chang.

Meng Chang smiled at first, but when he heard the word Su Jun, his face changed slightly, and he turned gloomy.

This Su Jun was a famous homeless marshal at the beginning of the founding of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and led thousands of his family to cross the sea to the south, and became a general, fighting Hulu in the north of the country and rebelling in the south. Su Jun himself became a legend because he was a scholar, but he stood out with military talent in troubled times.

It's a pity that this person is ambitious, and he can't protect his later years, and later, because he refused to hand over his military power, he actually attacked the Eastern Jin Dynasty court that took him in and raised troops to rebel.

Although Su Jun once invaded the capital and controlled the emperor, he was finally wiped out by the feudal towns of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and ended up in disrepute. Compared with the middle-class attack, the ancestors of the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, it can be said that there is a world of difference.

Meng Chang said coldly: "Although Meng is a scholar, he also knows kindness and righteousness, Liu Li is calling Meng a traitor like Su Jun, I don't know what it means?" ”

Liu Yu smiled slightly, and rubbed his waist: "I'm sorry, my little brother lost his words for a while, Brother Meng forgive me." ”

Meng Chang snorted heavily: "There are some words that cannot be lost indiscriminately, I am a northerner, I admire the Jin family, and I don't hesitate to risk my life to cross south, but I am not here to suffer this kind of ridicule." Liu Lizheng, please return the road quotation to us, and we will go to see the state official ourselves. ”

Liu Yu's brows furrowed: "This is not good, ushering in the send-off, this is my duty as Lizheng." Although I lost my words, I have already made amends just now, so Brother Meng doesn't have to be like this. ”

Meng Chang said coldly: "It's not just our boat that comes to this ferry, there seems to be a noble person on the back boat!" Liu Lizheng must not look down on me and other grass people, so don't delay your opportunity to meet the nobles. ”

Liu Yu returned the guide that was put back into the cowhide bag to Meng Chang and said, "Then I wish you all the best." Through the temptation just now, he was convinced of his own judgment.

At the same time as handing over the guide, Liu Yu's eyes swept to the three children standing behind Meng Chang, all of whom were only four or five years old, dragging their noses, wearing only single clothes, and their faces were full of vegetables, obviously they hadn't eaten well for many days.

Liu Yu took out the pouch given by Xu Xianzhi just now from his arms, and put a few pieces of preserved fruit in it, he took out a piece, and the three children's eyes suddenly lit up, and they looked at it directly.

Meng Chang didn't answer, took the road guide and left, Tan Pingzhi and Wei Yongzhi glanced at each other, shook their heads, and left with a fist at Liu Yu.

And following Meng Chang, a young man who was obviously a child of the Meng family, but he was dragged last, he looked childish, looked at a piece of preserved peach in Liu Yu's hand, and licked his lips.

Liu Yu smiled slightly, took two steps forward, squatted down, and said to the child, "Little brother, what's your name?" ”

The kid blinked, but kept staring at the piece of preserved peaches, and said, "My name is Meng Longfu, and the one you spoke to just now is my brother." ”

Liu Yu smiled and stretched out the preserved peach: "Little brother, you're hungry on the road, let's eat." ”

Meng Longfu's eyes sparkled, and he hesitated: "My brother said that you can't just accept favors from others. ”

Liu Yu smiled and touched Meng Longfu's head: "This is not a favor, it is the donation of the imperial court to you northern refugees, and when you go to the Thorn History Mansion, there is still porridge to drink." If you really think what kind of favor this is, you can repay me when you grow up. ”

Meng Longfu gritted his teeth, took the piece of preserved peaches, turned around and ran. After running for more than ten steps, he turned around and waved his fist at Liu Yu: "I remember, Brother Liu Yu, I will definitely repay you in the future!" ”

Meng Chang's cold voice came from the front: "Long Fu, what are you rubbing in the back, is your butt itching again?" ”

Meng Longfu stuck out his tongue, instinctively touched his buttocks, made a gesture towards Liu Yu, turned around and ran, when their figures disappeared at the corner of the official road in the distance, Xu Xianzhi shook his head: "Brother Liu, what's wrong with you, why do you compare people to that thief Su Jun?" It's no wonder that this surnamed Meng has such a big temper. ”

Liu Yu said with a smile: "Of these three families, it is obvious that this Meng Chang is the mastermind, but this road quotation is in the hands of Tan Yizhi, isn't it strange?" ”

"He is obviously the backbone of the three families, but he is hiding behind Tan Ping, who has no scheming, which shows that this person has a gloomy personality! I provoked him with words just now, just to see his reaction, and to see if this person is a fine work. ”

Xu Xianzhi's eyes widened: "What, this surnamed Meng seems to be full of poetry and books, a standard Han person, will he be a spy?" ”

Liu Yu sighed: "The Qin State is about to invade the south, and it is a common means to send spies to the intermittent faction, Tan Yizhi and Wei Yongzhi should have no problem, but this Meng Chang makes me suspicious!" However, there is basically no problem with this trial just now. ”

"Why is it okay, how can you see it?" Xu Xianzhi asked.

Liu Yu smiled slightly: "If Meng Chang is really a spy, there must be hostages to be held in the north, otherwise a Han like him will be uncontrollable when he comes to Jindi." That Meng Longfu is just a child, it is impossible to act, there is no doubt that he must be his younger brother. Therefore, the suspicion of espionage can be ruled out. Envy, these are things that require practical experience and look at faces, and you may not be able to write about them in the books you read. ”

Xu Xianzhi breathed a long sigh of relief: "I see, Brother Liu, you are really careful." It seems that there are too many places to learn from you, and listening to your words is better than reading for ten years. ”
