Earlier, Meng Zhou was still asleep when he was awakened by a strong knock on the door. She opened the door in a daze, and before she could see who it was, the outsiders entered the house like a wind.

"Why haven't you cleaned it up yet?"

Meng Zhou rubbed his eyes and looked at Heshan, and said confusedly: "What to pack up?" ”

"We're leaving the border city for Kyoto today!"

"Well, I know, didn't Brother Huai say last night that we should wait for him to come back from the government before leaving?"

Heshan said: "I've been waiting for him for a long time and haven't seen him come back, I thought about it, or let's pack up and go to him quickly." ”

Mengzhou looked at the freshly lit sky outside the window and sighed, she knew that Heshan was anxious to go to Kyoto to find that Lin girl, and she didn't say much, and after washing, she quickly packed up her things and took Xiaokong to go to the government with Heshan.

Outside the border city mansion, when Meng Zhou was holding the burden and watching Heshan be driven back by the guards at the door for the third time, she finally couldn't help but yawn and handed the burden to Xiaokongdao: "Look at it, I'll go and see what's going on?" ”

"Good"

The guard at the door said with a righteous face: "I told you, there is no one you are looking for, if you continue to mess around like this, you will be carefully punished for disturbing public duties." ”

Heshan turned around and saw Mengzhou's staggering figure, grabbed her and said, "Do you know what other names Brother Huai has, or did he give you any objects?" ”

Meng Zhou pondered for a few seconds, pulled out a slingshot from his sleeve, and said tentatively: "Does this count?" ”

Seeing this, the guard at the door said angrily: "Hurry up and go away, don't interfere with official business here, otherwise you will be punished together." ”

"Okay, let's go."

Meng Zhou said and dragged Heshan as he walked and whispered: "Don't worry, you think that Brother Huai must have his reason to come here alone so early, since he has left a message, then let's wait." ”

When Jing Rong came out of the mansion and was about to get into the carriage, he saw a familiar figure nestled in the corner of the side of the gate, sleeping peacefully with a burden in his arms.

Jing Rong sighed and whispered a few words to the people around him.

"Why are you here?"

Hearing the voice, Dream woke up suddenly, "You're out!" Heshan, Heshan" she said and turned her head excitedly, but there were still Heshan and Xiaokong beside her.

"Hey, what about them?!"

Jing Rong pulled Meng Zhou, who was looking for someone in a circle, and said helplessly: "Don't look for it, this is you, you can still sleep so well outside." He said as he pulled a note from Mengzhou's head and said, "Well, they gave it to you." ”

Meng Zhou looked at it and said hatefully: "Heshan, this guy, don't say anything to me when you go back to the inn." ”

"Well, I've got someone to pick them up."

The momentum at the gate of the official mansion became more and more immense, and Meng Zhou leaned over to see that several pairs of officers and soldiers came out with an elderly red-robed old man in their arms. Meng Zhou said in a low voice: "That person is Lord Wang Shiru?" ”

"Hmm."

Mengzhou's face was embarrassed, "We're not going to go to Kyoto with him, are we?" ”

"Well, what's wrong?"

Meng Zhou scratched his head and said: "I'm a person, I don't like to walk with such a big person, if I say something wrong and offend him, wouldn't it be a small life." ”

Jing Rong smiled and said, "I think you were quite comfortable in front of those adults before?" ”

Meng Zhou lowered his head and muttered, "That's different. ”

Jing Rong rubbed Meng Zhou's head and said with relief: "No, I have already told Lord Wang, we just follow behind, let's go." ”

Approaching Wang Shiru, Jing Rong glanced at Meng Zhou, and she was really uncharacteristically well-behaved.

"Lord Wang."

Wang Shiru glanced at Meng Zhou, who was saluting, and said to Chong Jingrong: "Who is this?" ”

"I mentioned it to adults before."

Wang Shiru suddenly said, "In that case, the two of you are please." As he spoke, he commanded to his side: "Send the word to the below, and set off immediately." ”

"Yes."

A moment later, the carriage stopped in front of the border city prison, Meng Zhou opened the curtain and looked out, several men in prison clothes were escorted to the prison car, she turned around and asked Xiang Jingrong, "These are the masked people who were in Chang's that day?" ”

"Yes, Lord Wang is going to escort them back to Beijing to report on their work."

Meng Zhou's eyes widened, "If someone hijacks the prisoner's car, then wouldn't it be very dangerous for us to follow them." ”

"Even if we don't return to Beijing with Lord Wang, we won't be able to avoid disasters along the way."

Mengzhou nodded, "Yes, after all, Lord Wang is also a big official, if there is something on the way, someone from Kyoto will come in time." ”

She said curiously: "Hey, Brother Huai, you just said that Lord Wang is going back to Beijing to report on his work, so this time you have made such a great contribution, do you think the above will give you a promotion?" ”

"Probably not."

Meng Zhou said with a pity on his face: "Ah, you can't be promoted after doing so many things, what about the reward, will the saint be happy to reward you with a large sum of silver?" ”

Jing Rong thought seriously for a few seconds and said, "It shouldn't be." ”

Meng Zhou patted Jing Rong on the shoulder, and said bitterly: "That's really hard for you to serve the country with sincerity, in this way, when do you want to open it, I will definitely come to support you if you want to open a fortune-telling hall or a martial arts hall." ”

Jing Rong was amused, "Okay." ”

A tentative voice came from outside the carriage, "Dream Boy, are you there?" ”

Meng Zhou immediately leaned over and lifted the curtain, "I'm here." ”

After Heshan and Xiaokong got into the carriage, Mengzhou asked Heshan angrily: "It's not that you said that you had to wait at the gate of the official mansion, why did you go back again?" ”

Xiaokong was puzzled: "When we left, didn't you say to us that you would go and come back quickly?" Have you forgotten? ”

"When! Why am I not impressed? ”

Heshan spread his hands and looked at Xiao Kongdao: "You know why I left a note." ”

Xiaokong nodded, and Heshan instructed Xiaokong: "So next time you talk about things with Mengzhou, you must ensure that she is awake, lest she fall in debt like today." ”

"Shut up, you."

According to the original plan, the carriage and horses originally planned to stop at the official square of Yongle City at night, but the horses had frequent problems during the day, and it was barely half of the journey until it was dark, so Wang Shiru had to order the team to stop and rest.

In a wild forest, Meng Zhou looked at the dancing flames in front of him and rubbed his sore waist, and complained, "How can we get to Kyoto at this speed?" ”

Jing Rong shook the fire and said, "When those people come, we can go back to Kyoto smoothly." ”

Heshan looked at the prison lane: "Also, if there is really no one who hijacks the prisoner car on this road, it really doesn't show the significance of our efforts to arrest them." ”

Meng Zhou said: "It seems that this horse's problem is a precursor." ”

Heshan, "yes, so I don't know what danger awaits us behind this." ”

"The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth." Meng Zhou said and looked at Jing Rong, and the light in his eyes rose again, "Isn't it, Brother Huai." ”

"Nature."

In Kyoto Castle, black clouds dominate.

"Master, they are almost in Yong'an City."

The figure swayed behind the screen, "Have all of our people arrived?" ”

"As you commanded, our men are all ready."

"Remember, keep your hands clean."

"Yes."

At dawn the next day, Meng Zhoulin took a look at the sky in the distance before getting into the carriage, gray and cloudy, and a storm was coming. Sure enough, when the carriage reached a low mountain road, it suddenly began to rain, and within half a moment, the sound of raindrops outside the window became louder and louder. On the dirt roads, horse-drawn carriages became more and more difficult.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang ahead, followed by a chaotic sound of killing.

Xiaokong suddenly became nervous, "Brother Heshan, are they here?" ”

As soon as Xiaokong's words fell, the body of the carriage was hit hard, Jing Rong grabbed Meng Zhou, frowned and said to Heshan: "Take care of them." He said he lifted the curtain and got out of the car.

A whistle sounded, and several sharp swords burst out of the air, and within a few seconds the surrounding carriage was back to peace, and the sound of killing gradually weakened. Meng Zhou carefully lifted the curtain and looked out, on the muddy ground, the rain and blood mixed together, and flowed crookedly into the loess.

A few meters away, the prisoner carts were scattered, and the prisoners were lying on their backs in the yellow mud, bleeding from their necks, and around them, several black-clothed men and guards were fighting to the death in the rain.

"Childe be careful."

With that shout, the horse neighed, and the body suddenly leaned to the side.

In a pinch, Heshan reached out and dragged Meng Zhou and Xiaokong, and pushed them out of the car to Jing Rong.

Meng Zhou turned his head in a panic to see that the cart and horse had fallen into the slope on the side of the mountain road with Heshan.

"Heshan!" Meng Zhou shouted and was about to rush down, but was pulled by Jing Rong.

"I'll bring him back." Jing Rong said and squeezed Meng Zhou's hand and lowered his voice, "You are waiting for me here." ”

A few seconds later, Meng Zhou wiped the rain from his face, and his voice trembled, "Come back together." ”

"Okay." Jing Rong pushed Xiaokong and Mengzhou to the side, and Sanqi said, "Take them out of the mountain road." ”

"Yes."

The rain gradually stopped, and half an hour later, Meng Zhou finally saw Jing Rong and Heshan limping at the mountain pass, she rushed over and hugged Heshan, with a cry in her voice, "You scared me to death, I thought we would not be able to meet until the next life." ”

Heshan smiled bitterly and patted Mengzhou and said, "I can't come back well." He said and looked at Jing Rong, who was silent on the side, and pushed Meng Zhou and said, "Thanks to Brother Huai, I can come back." ”

Hearing this, Meng Zhou let go of his hand and rubbed his eyes to look at Jing Rong, and said, "I will definitely return your life-saving grace." I'll be there whenever you need it. ”

Sanqi thought that Jing Rong would say something, but he just responded lightly and gave up, Sanqi glanced at Jing Rong's bloody fingertips hidden behind him, and sighed in his heart.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded in front of them, and soon a pair of men and horses appeared in front of them.

Heshan took a closer look, widened his eyes and said, "Isn't that the dedication of the sect?" ”

"What!?"

Heshan grabbed Mengzhou, who was about to slip away, and whispered, "What do you want to do?" ”

"Run, it's hard to wait for him to catch us."

Heshan rolled his eyes and said, "He didn't know us at that time, what are you doing as a thief?" ”

Meng Zhou touched the tip of his nose a little embarrassed, "Xi, I'm used to it." ”

At this end, the moment Jing Rong saw Zong Zhixian, the uneasiness in his heart became bigger and bigger.

Sure enough, before he could speak, Zong Zhixian turned over and dismounted, knelt on one knee with a bang and said, "The minister is late, please ask the king of Huai'an to surrender." ”

Seeing this, the men and horses behind him immediately knelt down.

There was an instant silence in the air.

Meng Zhou swallowed his saliva with difficulty, glanced around, and finally stopped at Jing Rong in disbelief.

She took a deep breath, grabbed Heshan's arm, and said weakly: "Help me, my legs are weak." ”

Jing Rong sighed as if resigned to his fate, he had repeatedly paved the way for today's identity confession for so many days, and he had thought about the scene with her countless times, but he never thought that he would be intervened by Zong Zhixian today, and he was so caught off guard and forced to reveal his identity.

Jing Rong looked at Meng Zhou, and as soon as the two met their eyes, she immediately stared at her like a frightened rabbit, her eyes widened, and she stood on the ground.

"King Huai'an..."

Before Zong Zhixian could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Jing Rong's weak voice, "Get up, why are you here?" ”

"On the orders of the Holy Lord, I will escort you back to Beijing." Zong Zhixian frowned as he spoke, "You're injured." ”

Jing Rong caught a glimpse of Meng Zhou's steps that wanted to step forward but stopped, and said, "It's okay." ”

Zong Zhi said: "King Huai'an, the ministers in front have prepared carriages and horses, please move." ”

In just a few steps, Mengzhou's mind fluctuated.

When Jing Rong was about to get into the carriage, he paused, looked at Meng Zhou and said, "Come here." ”

Meng Zhou immediately shook his head, Jing Rong raised his bleeding hand, and said meaningfully: "I will not give up." ”

On the carriage, Jing Rong leaned on the cushion, looked at the people around him who were rarely silent and serious, and suddenly had the idea of teasing.

"It hurts."

Sure enough, as soon as Jing Rong's words came out, Meng Zhou immediately stopped and said nervously: "Yes, I'm sorry, my little hands are stupid, or you." ”

Meng Zhou spoke, "Why don't you find a doctor to take a look at it for you." ”

Jing Rong didn't answer, Meng Zhou bit his lip and said tentatively: "That little one will go down first." ”

"You're going to talk to me like that in the future?"

After listening to it, the words and deeds of the past 'big rebellion' suddenly poured into Mengzhou's mind like a marquee. She sighed and put down the medicine bottle in her hand, and her voice was downcast, "That's it, how can you walk by the river without getting your shoes wet, and you can do things by yourself, if you really want to kill chickens and monkeys, I can't help it." ”

“…”

The car was silent for a second, and Jing Rong said helplessly: "Let's take the medicine." ”

Meng Zhouhu glanced at Jing Rong suspiciously, slowly picked up the medicine bottle and put it down.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to throw you in jail under the pretext of improper drugging." Jing Rong was talking about a sudden pain in his hand.

Seeing Jing Rong frowning, Meng Zhou shrugged his shoulders, looking like a broken jar, "I said, I'm stupid." ”

Hearing this, Jing Rong teased: "Don't pretend." ”

Meng Zhou sighed, picked up the medicine bottle and said, "Anyway, you've seen everything I look like all the way, if you really want to clean me up, you have no excuse." ”

"Yes."

"You can't really be so small-bellied, are you?"

"Slandering the children of the royal family is an additional crime."

Outside the carriage, Sanqi listened to the conversation in the carriage and shook his head helplessly.
