Chapter 70: For the Battalion

At dawn on the second day, when Jing Rong opened his eyes, Meng Zhou was already sitting at the table and didn't know what he was looking at, and he was very serious.

When Meng Zhou turned around, he saw Jing dissolving ink scattered, sitting on the edge of the bed obediently, his eyes were foggy.

"Get up, wash up and come over for dinner."

"Yes."

A few seconds later, Meng Zhou turned around, and Jing Rong was still sitting on the edge of the bed in the same posture, not moving.

Meng Zhou smiled and said, "Why, I didn't wake up, it's still early, otherwise you will rest again." ”

"What are you looking at?"

"Script."

Jing Rong nodded and silently walked behind the screen. After a while, he cleaned up and sat down at the table, poured a glass of water and put it in Mengzhou's hand, and asked, "What are you looking at?" ”

Meng Zhou raised his eyes and stared at Jing Rong for a few seconds, and sighed a little helplessly, "The words are in the book." ”

"What are you doing here?"

Meng Zhou put away the book and put it aside, and said, "It's nothing, just bored." She said as she opened the paper bag on the table, "Well, I just bought it on the street, so let's eat it while it's hot." ”

"Have you eaten?"

Meng Zhou responded: "Well, I've eaten it." By the way, there was a fire in the Moon Full Building last night, you know? ”

Jing Rong drank tea, raised his eyes to look at Meng Zhou, and said, "I don't know." ”

Meng Zhou looked at Jing Rong's eyes, and suddenly smiled, "That's right, I'm confused, you just woke up, how would you know?" ”

The noise outside was getting louder and louder, Meng Zhou stood up and walked to the window, poked a few glances down, surrounded the riverside and watched a few times, pointing in the direction of the moon full building.

Meng Zhou sneered lightly and sneered: "Heh, those people are really good at moving flowers and trees." As soon as the building burned, smoke rose everywhere, which was really both popular and dirty. ”

"The authorities are confused, but the bystanders are clear."

Menghui leaned against the window and said, "Looking at the situation last night, if they work together to conceal this matter and want to suppress it, it will just be a matter of finding a set of arguments." ”

"One word can be said in another."

Meng Zhou said: "Since this is the case, it will be much easier to do, since they are talking to the Ling'er girl who has "lost the fragrance and jade", then we will also take advantage of this limelight." ”

Jing Rong knocked on the script, and there was a smile in his eyes, "Then it seems that the heroine doesn't need me, a scholar, to make up the script." ”

Hearing this, Meng Zhou curled the corners of his mouth and smiled like a little fox, "I, I have another arrangement for you." ”

At noon, the sun was spreading, and the street was suddenly nested in a corner of the Linshui County Prison, as if a door of life and death separated the yang and yin, Jing Rong followed the jailer through the dark and narrow path, and stopped in front of a cell.

"That's it, time is limited, I have something to say." The jailer threw down a sentence and turned away.

Jing Rong looked into the cell, a man in prison uniform was sitting on the grass in the cell, his body was weakened, his face was delicate, and he was still clean in prison uniform, presumably without any torture.

"Heshan."

"Who are you?"

Jing Rong paused for a few seconds, took out a red rope from his sleeve, and said slowly, "You can see it when you see it." ”

Heshan walked to the railing, and after seeing the red rope, his shoulders straightened, "How is she now?" It's okay. ”

"All is well."

Tsuruyama breathed a sigh of relief, "That's fine." As he spoke, he glanced at the jailer in the distance and whispered, "Things are turning around now." ”

"Wait for three days and it will be revealed."

Heshan hugged his fists and said, "Thank you." ”

Jing Rong stretched out his hand and pulled the red rope, his eyebrows and eyes cold: "If it's it, you don't have to." ”

Heshan said: "Although I don't know how you met, and what happened between you to make your Excellency help each other like this, but Your Excellency's life-saving grace Heshan is unforgettable, and I will definitely repay you when I go out." ”

"And rightfully so."

Heshan looked up, and the people in front of him still looked like they were aloof.

"Take care."

Heshan bowed slightly and thanked him, and when he raised his head again, the figure only fell on the corner of his clothes.

At night, on the first floor of the inn, a few outsiders ordered a pot of wine and sat around chatting about gossip.

Jing Rong walked up to the second floor and stood outside the door, and saw a layer of warm light in the room, and suddenly his heart softened, he pushed open the door and the candle flame moved with the wind, but there was no room in the room.

"Why don't you go in?"

Jing Rong turned his head and saw Meng Zhou staggering past him with a lantern in his hand.

"Oh, I just came back and saw that you weren't there, so I went out for a walk." She said and put the lantern on the table, "I heard that today is a festival in Linshui Town, and it's quite lively outside, did you see it when you just came back?" ”

"Yes."

Seeing Jing Rong staring at the lantern, Meng Zhou said: "If you like it, I'll give it to you, anyway, it's a waste of good things in my hands." ”

"Didn't you buy it?"

Meng Zhou rubbed his legs and said incredulously: "How is it possible, the last bit of money on my body was invested in that bowl of noodles, isn't the rest all with you?" By the way, what are your progress today? ”

Jing Rong got up and took a thin blanket, put it on Meng Zhou's leg, and said, "Everything is fine over there, don't worry." ”

Mengzhou nodded, "Then do you have any eyebrows for those two things I gave you?" ”

"One is highly poisonous, colorless and tasteless, and after taking it, people will lose their voice and lose their minds, and their bodies will be like fire, and they will be extremely painful. The other is also poison, but compared with the former, the latter is weaker poison, although this poison does not cause death, but once it is taken, it is necessary to use the poison medicine every half month, otherwise it will die violently. ”

Meng Zhou said: "So the former is a one-hit hit, and the latter is a drop of water." ”

Jing Rong slowed his breath, and finally gave up after a few times, and said helplessly: "That's the truth." ”

"Tsk, I didn't expect this old thief to be so vicious, it seems that I don't want to take care of this matter."

Jing Rong smiled, "Really? I remember you didn't say that back then. ”

Meng Zhou's face flushed, and he remembered in his mind the words he had told Jing Rong that day, which was supposed to remind him, but it seemed that in the end, he broke the rules, leaving no room at all.

Meng Zhou coughed lightly and raised his voice: "Look, this is your rigid nature, life in the world, it is just to take one step at a time, and I said that I only care about this matter to meet the promise of that day, and it has nothing to do with the side at all, tsk, what does your expression mean, I don't believe it." ”

Jing Rong shrugged his shoulders and looked innocent, "No, I believe it." ”

Meng Zhou snorted lightly, moved the lantern in Jingrong's hand aside, and said angrily: "I don't need to send it to you, as far as you see it, I won't appreciate it for you, so it's better to keep it for illumination." ”

Jing Rong titi the thin blanket on his lap around the dream, and took a sip of tea, "When I first came up, I heard the customers downstairs talking about the full moon building yesterday. ”

"It's not unusual, didn't they already talk about it yesterday?"

"Yesterday it was an internal discussion near the water, but today it is an external discussion."

Mengzhou traced the lines on the lantern and said casually: "Well, that means the effect is good." ”

As soon as these words came out, Jing Rong knew what she was going to do, thinking that she had stabbed out the matter of Lingyang at the beginning, leaving no room for anything, and now this matter in Linshui Town is afraid that it will be reverted back then.

Jing Rong said: "What about tomorrow? ”

"What tomorrow?"

"Three days."

Meng Zhou smiled, remembering the three-day appointment she asked Jing Rong to bring to Heshan, and said, "Three days is so short, how can there be any tomorrow." She said touching the lantern, "Strike while the iron is hot, and enjoy the lantern in time, otherwise it will be too late for dawn." As if she remembered something, she stretched out her hand and said, "By the way, where's the money bag?" ”

Jing Rong silently took out an empty money bag from his arms and put it in Meng Zhou's hand.

Meng Zhou swayed, stared dryly, and said, "What about the money?" There are not many more in the morning. ”

"It's a lot of work."

Meng Zhou sighed and said, "Also, it does cost money to make a dot." "She wanted to have another room, but now it seems that she can only make up for it.

Meng Zhou stood up and lazy, and said, "It's not early today, let's rest early." ”

"You need a good rest when you're tired today, I'll just roll up the bed and sleep on the ground."

Meng Zhou glanced at Jing Rong, kicked off his shoes and climbed into bed, "Don't talk nonsense, come up." ”

Jing Rong frowned and said, "You are a woman." ”

"I didn't see how evasive you were a few days ago, didn't you sleep well." Meng Zhou said and put the pillow in the center, lying flat and stable, "Remember to turn off the light when you come up." ”

As soon as the candle flame was extinguished, only the soft moonlight remained in the room.

"Did you do the same with other men before?"

"Other men, you said Heshan? He's poorer than you, and we usually sleep in a broken temple or a cave when we go out, and we always have to take care of each other, otherwise how do I know when he will be taken away by wolves. But now you don't have to think about it, it's not forced by the current situation and money, besides, I spend your money, it's not good for you to sleep on the ground, it's still a little cold now, it's not good for me to sleep on the ground, what if I catch a cold? So it's best now, for the best policy, why don't you speak. ”

“……”

Meng Zhou turned over and looked at Jing Rong, "By the way, I still have something I want to ask you, just your money bag, I wanted to ask earlier, I haven't had a chance, what is embroidered on your money bag?" ”

"Flowers, rhizomes of flowers."

"What about the flowers?"

The voice beside him was like an urn with a layer of mist, "Where do the flowers come from in winter, just be rooted." ”

Meng Zhou propped up his head and sneered, "It seems that the person who sold you this money bag is still a crooked liar, and there are many nonsense." ”

"Well, it's a little liar."

Meng Zhou said curiously: "Then later, you didn't go back to settle accounts with her." ”

"I didn't see her again for a long time."

Meng Zhou said: "Also, this embroiderer is not as good as me, if she can sell it from you, I will also spread a mat to fool others." ”

There was a chuckle in the room, "Then you will be able to prosper in business." ”

On the second day, the sky was slightly bright, and Mengzhou rode his horse and galloped on a loess road.

There was a long neigh, and the horse hoofed to stop.

Not far from the trail, a carriage stopped in the middle, and Meng Zhou turned over and dismounted, pulling the reins and approaching step by step.

"Do you always like to talk to people through a curtain?"

There was a coquettish laugh in the carriage, and the curtain was lifted, revealing Ling'er's soft face, "It seems that the girl still holds a grudge against the last time." ”

"Heh, I'm small-minded, and there are many people who hold grudges, and you can't be ranked."

"Also, there are so many people on the girl's list, what I did is really not worth mentioning."

Meng Zhou said: "Miss Ling'er admitted so quickly that everything was carefully planned by you. ”

"You've made up your mind that you've made up your mind, so what's the use of me saying yes or no?"

"Heshan was designed by you to be imprisoned, and that package was also given to him by you."

Ling'er stroked the yellow rope on her wrist, and her expression fell cold, "I thought that if you could chase after me, you shouldn't ask me this." She raised her eyes as she spoke, looking straight at Meng Zhou, her lips lightly opened, "One last question." ”

Meng Zhou was stunned and said slowly: "We've met?" ”

Ling'er bent her lips, let go of the yellow bracelet, and said, "Who are you?" Who am I? Why do you do all this, and why do you choose you? The girl is really greedy, these are four questions, and if I answer any one of them, the others will be self-defeating. ”

Meng Zhouyan swept Ling'er's wrist, turned around and took out a piece of paper from the bag and threw it on the car board: "Since you want to play, then I will naturally accompany you to the end, but the road ahead is bumpy, and the carriage is not easy to walk." She turned over and got on her horse, "By the way, your horse has good foot strength, and it is just right for driving sheep." ”

"The girl is gracious. Since the girl likes it, I will give it to you. ”

Meng Zhou tugged at the reins, took one last look at Ling'er, and rode away.

After a while, a man with an unattractive appearance approached, picked up the roll of paper on the car board, handed it to Ling'er, and said, "The master has an arrangement." ”

"The news is out?"

"Yes, let it out."

Ling'er put away the paper in her hand, "In that case, it's not interesting to meddle again, let's go." ”

The man jumped into the car and pulled the reins.

"By the way, who drew this picture?"

"Humble position."

"The horse is your choice, too."

"Yes."

Ling'er sighed and lowered the curtain, "You don't have to paint so carefully, and you don't have to choose such an expensive one next time." ”

"Yes, humble, remember."

"Let's go, it's a bumpy road ahead, go slower."

"Yes."
