Chapter 19: The Visitation (1)
Zhao Gao heard the thick and powerful voice behind him, and immediately knew who was coming, Zhao Gao turned around, his face was already the usual smile, Zhao Gao said to Meng Tian with a smile: "Old Meng, what a coincidence." ”
"What are you messing around here?" Meng Tian felt that the Zhao Gao in front of him was a little different from usual today, Meng Tian looked at Zhao Gao, saw the gauze bandaged on Zhao Gao's arm, and immediately asked worriedly, "Why are you injured?" ”
"It's a minor injury, it's not a big deal." Hearing Meng Tian's worried tone, Zhao Gao's eyes swept over his arm, a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he looked up at Meng Tian and asked, "Old Meng, what are you doing here?" ”
"The barracks inspection has just come back, you come here, follow me home." Meng Tian looked at Zhao Gao, the more he looked at him, the more he felt that Zhao Gao was not in the right state, Meng Tian was in a hurry, and he didn't care about anything else, so he stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Gao's arm and left.
"Lao Meng, you go slowly, I can't keep up." Zhao Gao looked at Meng Tian who was holding his arm, knowing that he was really worried about himself, and his originally empty heart seemed to be much warmer at this moment.
Meng Tiancai didn't care what Zhao Gao said, and said without looking back: "Man, big husband, where did you get so much hypocrisy?" ”
"I'm not an old meng, I have been marching and fighting all year round, and my skin is rough and thick, so naturally I can't compare to you." Zhao Gao's mood in his heart was much better, so he joked with Meng Tian.
Meng Tian heard Zhao Gao's words, stopped, then turned his head to look at Zhao Gao, and didn't speak, just watched quietly, looking Zhao Gao up and down, Zhao Gao was stared at by Meng Tian's whole body, and asked uncomfortably: "Old Meng, what kind of eyes are you?" It's horrible. ”
"Huh." Meng Tian looked at Zhao Gao for a while, then let out a disdainful laugh, and then said to Zhao Gao: "I see you, thin arms and legs, like a woman, when will you come to my military camp to exercise, I promise that you will not say today's words again." ”
"No, no, no, forget it, your old Meng's barracks, I went in, can I still come out completely? Not tired to death inside? Zhao Gao said with a frightened expression.
"Keep up." Meng Tian listened to Zhao Gao's words, glanced at him and said, then turned around and walked away with steady steps, in fact, Meng Tian knew that Zhao Gao was talented, but he was not interested in this, so he did not force Zhao Gao to go to the military camp to help him, he respected Zhao Gao's wishes.
"Lao Meng is waiting for me." Zhao Gao watched Meng Tian leave, and hurriedly chased after him while talking.
General's Palace.
Meng Tian was not at ease, and ordered the military doctor to come to help Zhao Gao see the injury once, and the military doctor said: "Zhao Gongzi is only a flesh injury, it is not a big problem, and the previous bandaging is also very good, as long as you don't touch the water in these days, this injury can be healed." ”
As soon as the military doctor finished speaking, Zhao Gao continued: "I'll just say I'm fine, Lao Meng, you still don't believe it, and you still trouble the military doctor to run away, how bad it is." ”
"You shut up for me." Meng Tian saw Zhao Gao's face hanging, and he had a headache, and then said to the military doctor, "You go down first." ”
"Yes, General." The military doctor saluted Meng Tian respectfully, then saluted Zhao Gao, and left.
"Lao Meng, I found that your subordinates and you are a virtuous person, and they are so boring." Zhao Gao looked at the military doctor who left and said meaningfully.
"You think everybody is as frivolous as you." Meng Tian took a sip of the tea on the desk, and said slowly.
"Wouldn't you be bored like that? All day long, their faces were silent, and they were extremely serious. Zhao Gao really admired Meng Tian, what kind of person he was, and the subordinates he was looking for were actually the same as himself.
"Don't you tell me how your wound came about?" Meng Tian was too lazy to talk to Zhao Gao, and asked.
"I'm still wondering how long you're going to ask?" Zhao Gao listened to Meng Tian's words, and still said with a smile on his face.
However, where was Meng Tian still joking with Zhao Gao, his eyes looked at Zhao Gao seriously, Zhao Gao was looked at by Meng Tian like this, and he didn't mess with Meng Tian anymore, but said lightly: "I was injured in the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”
"Prime Minister's Mansion?" Meng Tian listened to Zhao Gao's words, thinking that Li Si used the criminal law on Zhao Gao, so he immediately said with a slightly angry expression: "Li Si used the criminal law on you?" ”
Zhao Gao saw the anger on Meng Tian's face, and knew that Meng Tian had misunderstood, so he hurriedly said, "No, no, this injury was not caused by Li Si."
"Didn't Li Si get it?" When Meng Tian heard Zhao Gao's explanation, the anger on his face eased a little, and then said, "What the hell is going on?" Be clear. ”
"My mother received an invitation from the Prime Minister's Mansion yesterday, inviting us to a banquet today." Zhao Gao looked at Meng Tian, and when he talked about his mother, a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes, but it was only for a moment, Zhao Gao quickly adjusted his emotions and continued: "You also know my mother's temperament, how can she let go of such a good opportunity, so she forced me to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion with her today, and then Li Si's fourth daughter didn't know where to find a carpenter named Yi Hai, he made a weapon called an arrow crossbow, and then accidentally had an accident, I took the injury in order to save the fourth lady." ”
Speaking of the arrow crossbow, Zhao Gao's eyes immediately widened, and Zhao Gao said excitedly to Meng Tian: "Old Meng, do you know? The crossbow can shoot seven arrows at different angles at a time, and it can also self-detonate, and the person who takes it will die with the enemies around him, which is not small. ”
"Is there such an archery?" After listening to Zhao Gao's words, Meng Tian also asked with interest.
"Really, I saw it with my own eyes, you see that my injury is that the arrow crossbow accidentally touched the mechanism and shot the arrow, and I was injured in order to save the fourth lady." Zhao Gao said seriously.
"If it is really as you said, then the power of this arrow crossbow should not be underestimated, and we have to discuss it with Li Lao." Zhao Gao said with a serious face.
"Okay, let's go together someday." Zhao Gao also happily agreed.
"However, how could Li Si think of inviting you to a banquet with the old lady, you don't have any friendship?" Meng Tian asked curiously.
"That's what I thought too." Zhao Gao was also curious about why Li Si suddenly invited him and his mother to a banquet, he and Li Si did not have any friendship, and it could even be said that he had never met a few people.
"Li Si, if you really don't want to set foot in the court, you must not have anything to do with him." Meng Tian was worried about Zhao Gao, and Li Si must have some conspiracy to suddenly find Zhao Gao.
"I know." Zhao Gao said self-deprecatingly: "Lao Meng, you know about me, and you don't care about these things, but you also know my mother, and my mother's temperament, how can I control it." ”
Meng Tian listened to Zhao Gao's words, and didn't say anything anymore, Zhao Gao's mother, Meng Tian had met a few times, Meng Tian also knew that Zhao Gao and his mother had opposite aspirations, so they had been quarreling and couldn't get along, but Meng Tian also knew that Zhao Gao loved his mother very much, the so-called family has a scripture that is difficult to read, Zhao Gao's family affairs, Meng Tian knew that although he was a friend, he couldn't take care of it.
"Hey, forget it, don't mention this, anyway, there shouldn't be any intersection in the future, I'll be careful in the future." Zhao Gao looked at Meng Tian, who suddenly fell quiet, and changed the topic and said.
"You should be careful in the future, and remember to come to me immediately if you have something." Meng Tian looked at Zhao Gao and said seriously, Meng Tian regarded Zhao Gao as his friend in this life, and he would definitely do his best to protect him.
"Then I want you to say, you big tree, can I not hug it tighter?" Zhao Gao looked at Meng Tian with a smile on his face, as if nothing had happened just now.
"You're not right." Meng Tian looked at Zhao Gao with a look of being a hanger, and instantly rolled his eyes, and then said, "How can I make friends with you." ”
"It's too late to regret now, you can't rely on me." Zhao Gao listened to Meng Tian's words, and was not angry, but said proudly.
Seeing this, Meng Tian held his forehead with his hand, and lowered his head helplessly, Meng Tian felt that he must have been fooled at the beginning, otherwise how could he know this person and become friends with him, a scoundrel and skinny, Meng Tian thought about it, and sighed silently in his heart.
Zhao Gao had dinner in Meng Tian's mansion, originally Meng Tian wanted to stay with Zhao Gao for one night, Meng Tian thought about Zhao Gao's scene on the street during the day, so he knew that Zhao Gao must have quarreled with his mother again, otherwise he would not have wandered aimlessly on the street with injuries.
However, Zhao Gao refused, Zhao Gao knew that Meng Tian had good intentions, but this situation happened from time to time, he couldn't hide in Meng Tian every time, Zhao Gao wanted Meng Tian to say goodbye and left.
Meng Tian is also to block it, this matter, as a friend, he is really powerless, Meng Tian looked at the back of Zhao Gao leaving, and also turned back to the room, in this troubled world, who can live freely?
After Zhao Gao returned home, he went directly into his room, and did not see his mother, Zhao Gao lay on the bed quietly and did not move, Zhao Gao was thinking that his mother must have been hurt by his own anger today, Zhao Gao reached out and stroked his face that had been beaten by his mother during the day, and his heart throbbed for a while, Zhao Gao silently closed his eyes, just lay motionless on the bed, and gradually became tired and fell asleep.
On the second day, as soon as Zhao Gao got up and freshened up, he heard the voice of the little maid at the door: "Childe, the old lady has an invitation in the lobby, saying that a distinguished guest has arrived, let Childe go immediately." ”
"Guest?" Zhao Gao frowned, and muttered for a while, what kind of distinguished guest is coming this morning, Zhao Gao thought about it, and then said, "I'll come right away." ”
Zhao Gao came to the lobby with the little girl, and heard his mother say with a happy smile: "Fourth Miss, you're polite, Gao'er saved Fourth Miss just a gesture, why did Fourth Miss come to the door to thank you in person." ”
"The old lady said this, without Zhao Gongzi, Yue'er is probably already a dead person today, and Yue'er should have caused Zhao Gongzi to be injured and come to visit." Li Yue, who was on the side, said with a shyness on her face, she was not as arrogant and domineering as she saw it for the first time yesterday.
