Chapter 7: The Mystery

A fire burned overnight in the Mon Mansion in the east of the city.

Meng Yuxin looked helplessly at the stubborn nephew who had already roasted the sixth leg of mutton.

Meng Ruo diligently helped his brother before and after, adding firewood to the fire.

"Lord Wang..."The old butler on the side, Ah Lai, pondered the words, "The prince is still young, so I'm afraid it's not appropriate to be so temperamental." Ah Lai looked around and said softly, "There are countless pairs of eyes staring here. ”

Meng Yuxin waved his hand, "I know this, but Xiaochen's temperament is like this, the manly man promised someone else's things, no matter how difficult it is, we can't afford to lose this person!" ”

The ethnic minorities of the Xirong tribes all have a clan name, such as the Sanar family of the Helian tribe, the Motar family of the Fengxiang tribe, the Gulijin family of the Fufeng tribe, and the Wendona family of the Yuntu tribe in which the female protagonist is in power. The largest family in the Canglang Department is the Sertan family, which means "leader" in the Rong language, in fact, Meng Xiaochen's full name should be Meng Xiaochen? Sertan is not surnamed Meng, but the Canglang Department intends to move closer to the Central Plains culture, and the nobles call "Meng" as their surname to the outside world.

As for the other tribes, they are not so civilized, like the leader of the Helian tribe, the most powerful Helian tribe in Xirong now, Kipchak? Sanar is a rugged man who is extremely resistant to the culture of the Central Plains.

But in private, the children of Canglang still like to call themselves Celtan, just like the meaning of "Celtan", they want to be the leader, the leader of the entire Rong clan.

"Alright! Brother is awesome! ”

Meng Ruo clapped her hands and shouted, she had been with Meng Xiaochen for one night, but she didn't feel tired at all.

Meng Yu nodded with satisfaction, and gently stepped forward and patted Meng Xiaochen's shoulder.

Meng Xiaochen's eyes were firmly staring at the roast leg of lamb in his hand, Meng Yuxin was familiar with this kind of vision, remembering the first time he took Meng Xiaochen out hunting, when Meng Xiaochen relied on his own strength to capture an elk, he also looked like this - not simply happy, but relieved.

"Uncle, when is Cang Ling coming?" Meng Ruo asked suddenly.

"On the way." Meng Yuxin smiled, "It's only been a few days since I left, so I can't do without 'him'?" ”

Meng Ruo took the leg of mutton in Meng Xiaochen's hand, took a bite, and muttered, "That's!" ”

Meng Yuxin glanced over and found that after hearing the name of "Cang Ling", Meng Xiaochen also smiled slightly.

……

"You brutes really have a set!"

He Nuo licked the lamb crumbs dipped in his fingers and commented pertinently.

Meng Xiaochen raised his eyebrows, and he thought so.

Meng Ruo was not modest, "That's!" ”

"Okay, my name is Meng Xiaochen, this is my sister..."

"My name is Meng Ruo, "Meng" is not the dream of dreaming, and "Ruo" is not the weak of the weak. Meng Ruo hurriedly said.

He Nuo understood after a little thought in his heart, although he already knew their names, but these two people did not know their names, and now they took the initiative to say it, obviously treating themselves as friends, and said happily:

"My name is He Nuo, a promise of a thousand gold."

"Mu Yanxi." Mu Yanxi on the side said softly.

"Sister Yanxi, you look so good." He Nuo stepped forward and held Mu Yanxi's hand.

Mu Yanxi obviously liked this little sister very much, touching her head and smiling happily.

"Sister Yanxi, I've been playing for two days, and I'm going to officially go to the school palace tomorrow...... I was on the road today and heard everyone talking about the 'Qingcang Society', what is that? ”

Mu Yanxi was stunned for a moment before she reacted, "Oh, you're talking about Qianranhui." After saying this, she looked at He Nuo and continued, "After Emperor Gao won the country, he said that if the regime wants to be stable, the root cannot be abused, so he set up the 'Qianran School Palace', and then set up the ancestral system, and hold a 'Qianran Meeting' every ten years. ”

Meng Ruo smashed his mouth, "If you want to win the first place, it's too difficult, but it's not our turn." ”

He Nuo hurriedly said, "What are these rewards!" But the top ten Wenbi and Wubi have the opportunity to go to the Qianran Underground Palace! ”

"What is the Qianran Underground Palace?" Meng Ruo was full of curiosity about everything in Jinyang.

"That was the place where Emperor Gao retreated, it was a somewhat mysterious place, according to people who had been there before, some found the weapons left by Emperor Gao in it, some found some boxing and knife techniques, and some didn't see anything, but one person said that he saw the shadow of Emperor Gao inside...... "Mu Yanxi said eloquently, and shook his head when he said this, "That's all some nonsense, Emperor Gao has been dead for decades, where is there still a shadow, chasing the wind and catching shadows, there is no basis." ”

"Could it be to play a trick on everyone?" Meng Ruo said with a wink.

Mu Yanxi shook her head, "That's not going to happen, I guess I read it wrong... Because the person who said that he saw Emperor Gao's shadow was the Marquis of Ningxiang! ”

Everyone didn't speak, the demeanor of He Jingxuan, Marquis of Ningxiang, they had already experienced it in the Qianran School Palace, and they really didn't look like a person who believed in opening the river.

"That's right!" Meng Ruo snapped his fingers and calculated, everyone can participate in the Wen Contest and the Wu Contest, so is there anyone who has won the Wen Champion and the Wu Champion at the same time.

"Such a combination of humanities and martial arts, only two people who are still alive today have ever done it." He Nuo said this, his voice was full of reverence, "One person is Ning Xianghou, and the other is Yanxi's grandfather Mu Baichuan Mu Xiangye, those are all well-known figures, Qianran stood out after the meeting, and since then he has emerged and become a pivotal figure in the Jinyang Dynasty." ”

"People who are still alive now, in fact, there is another person who has done it..."Mu Yanxi said suddenly.

"Who?" Everyone was a little curious.

"Uncle He Jinyang. He Nuo is your father! ”

"What?" He Nuo grew his mouth in surprise, he didn't close it for a long time, he had never heard that his father had such an achievement, so why is he unknown now?

Mu Yanxi's voice lowered a little, "I listened to what my grandfather said, at that time, Emperor Wenzong was still in power, He Zijin became the crown prince, your father came out on top, and the two brothers were one dragon and one Ying, and they were in the limelight for a while, but a very strange thing happened after Uncle He went in, which directly led to his disqualification." ”

"What's strange?" He Nuo hurriedly asked.

Mu Yanxi's voice lowered, and He Nuo found that her face was a little uncomfortable.

"Uncle He attacked the people who went with him inside, and also had a conflict with He Qingcang, who went in with him at the time, and snatched an ancient jade he found inside."

"How could it be! You are talking nonsense! He Nuo stood up suddenly, how could my father beat people and steal people's things? ”

Mu Yanxi raised his hand and pulled the corner of He Nuo's clothes, motioned for him to sit down, and said slowly, "This is exactly the strange reason, Zuo Xiangyu Shangzheng at that time went in to find your father in person, but found that he was already unconscious. When your father woke up, he didn't seem to remember anything about attacking people in the dungeon...... He said the memory was blank. ”

"Ushang Zheng..."He Nuo muttered the name in his heart, if he remembered correctly, it was this person who caused the change of the Long Night.

"This means that your father may have been controlled by some strange secret method and lost consciousness before attacking others......"

He Nuo's face was still hot, and his father's character was questioned just now, and he also felt that his face was dull.

"If he is used to attack others, then Uncle He's qualification will not be canceled." Mu Yanxi continued, "It's just that what's even more strange is that the ancient jade disappeared for no reason, when Uncle He attacked He Qingcang and snatched the ancient jade, many people in the underground palace saw it, but later it was not found on the comatose Uncle He...Emperor Wenzong was furious when he found out at the time, and directly canceled your father's double champion honor, and passed down the word never to be reused... also implicated He Qingcang and demoted him to other places. ”

Speaking of He Qingcang, Meng Ruo's voice was a little yin and yang, "That's really a blessing in disguise, I was not affected by the changes of the long night in the field, and later I also raised troops and became a holy grandfather." ”

He Nuo listened to these and fully understood, no wonder his father never mentioned the fact that he had won the double champion, these experiences were a scar on his father, but He Nuo instinctively felt that all this was not so simple, he thought that he would have the opportunity to ask his father about everything back then.

"Miss Mu knows so much." Meng Xiaochen, who had never spoken, suddenly said, his voice flat.

Mu Yanxi's eyes flashed, "It's all grandpa told me." ”
