Xiao Ruxun put the place where he met Ye Mengxiong next to a post station in the north of Zhifang Town.

There is a small pavilion next to this post station, I don't know when and who built it, but the appearance of that small pavilion is exactly the same as the small pavilion that Xiao Ruxun and Ye Mengxiong were in when they were separated in Beijing, Xiao Ruxun couldn't walk when he saw it.

So he put the meeting place here, and then, as he did back then, he asked the old firehead of the army to make a few small stir-fries, and got some cellared wine.

It's already quite cold in October right now, and it won't work to drink chilled grapes like that at that time, so you can still drink some old wine, and you can still strengthen your body on this cold day.

The time agreed with Ye Mengxiong was four o'clock in the morning, Ye Mengxiong had always been punctual, and appeared in Xiao Ruxun's field of vision very punctually.

Seeing that Ye Mengxiong, who was sixty-seven years old, actually came on a horse, Xiao Ruxun was also full of emotion, so he ignored the obstruction of the two guards around him, and immediately walked over quickly.

"Ye Gong!"

"Ji Xin!"

Ye Mengxiong dismounted after a distance, handed over the horse to the two entourages behind him, and walked towards Xiao Ruxun on foot.

Xiao Ruxun also stepped forward quickly, and when he got closer, Ye Mengxiong reached out to support Xiao Ruxun's shoulder with excitement on his face, looking Xiao Ruxun up and down.

"It's calmer than before, it's no longer that hairy kid, it seems that years of fighting have brought you a lot of things, so good, very good!"

The smile on Ye Mengxiong's face couldn't be stopped at all, and so did Xiao Ruxun.

"Ye Gong's heroic style has not diminished back then, and he should be old and strong, and it is better to be like Xun! If Kaoru has prepared a little thin wine here, Ye Gong, please! ”

"Good! Good! ”

Ye Mengxiong followed Xiao Ruxun to the small pavilion.

In front of the small pavilion, Ye Mengxiong stopped, glanced at it for a while, and laughed again.

"This pavilion looks familiar! Ji Xin, isn't this the pavilion where you and I parted outside the capital city back then? ”

Xiao Ruxun laughed: "Ye Gong has good eyesight, this pavilion is really very similar to the pavilion when I left that year, I was also a little in a trance when I first saw it, and I thought that I had gone back in time to that year." ”

Ye Mengxiong sighed.

"Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle, it has been so many years in a blink of an eye, so many things have happened in the world, but the old man doesn't know when he will really settle down."

Ye Mengxiong looked at Xiao Ruxun.

Xiao Ruxun smiled, and then helped Ye Mengxiong to the small pavilion.

"These small dishes were all prepared by Ruxun back then, and there was a chef with good skills in the army, so he asked him to make them, but unfortunately it is cold now, and he doesn't dare to make iced grapes, so he found a good wine in the cellar, and I would like to have a drink with Ye Gong today."

Ye Mengxiong looked at the side dishes and wine jugs on the table with a smile, and said with a smile: "Okay, good!" It's been a few days since I've had something to eat or drink, so come, sit, sit down! ”

Xiao Ruxun helped Ye Mengxiong sit down, and then sat on another stone stool, filled the wine glass for Ye Mengxiong, and filled a glass of wine himself.

"Ye Gong, this glass of wine, toast you!"

Xiao Ruxun picked up the wine glass.

Ye Mengxiong also smiled and picked up the wine glass.

"Okay, okay, come, let's not talk about it, let's have a drink first!"

With that, the two drank a glass of wine together.

After drinking, the two picked up their chopsticks.

"Come, Ye Gong, try these small dishes, the cooks in our army are all good, they are all selected from the displaced people from the Central Plains to Myanmar a few years ago, many of them are the chefs in charge of the tavern restaurant, the craftsmanship is not to say, there are also the characteristics of various places, I can also eat many local specialties in Myanmar."

Xiao Ruxun smiled and introduced these dishes to Ye Mengxiong.

"Oh? And what else is there? Then I'll have to try it! ”

Ye Mengxiong smiled, stretched out his chopsticks and put a piece of meat in his mouth to chew, and then showed a satisfied expression: "En!" Not bad! Not bad! To be able to make such a taste, he is definitely a chef who has worked in a restaurant for many years, Ji Xin, you are really good at business, Myanmar is such a dead land, more than a million homeless homeless people, and I am stunned to revitalize the overall situation for you. ”

Ye Mengxiong looked quite emotional: "I think there were a few people in the government and the opposition who paid a little bit of attention to Myanmar back then?" Almost no one mentions it, just treat Myanmar as a pigsty-like place, and the population that can't survive in the Central Plains will be thrown into Myanmar, saving you from becoming a rogue, but you are like a treasure! ”

Xiao Ruxun smiled: "How can there be such a thing as a dead and alive land? It's just that no one wants to go to the camp, Myanmar is the land of the south of the sky, but it is on the verge of the ocean, as long as there are ships and people, it will soon be able to develop, don't hide it from Ye Gong, I rely on the dead land of Myanmar, I have already contacted Xiyi on the Europa continent, and I also sent a fleet to the Europa continent, which is a place where the eunuchs of the Three Treasures have never set foot in that year. ”

Ye Mengxiong looked amazed.

"Oh? And what else is there? Does Europa really exist? ”

"That's natural, we used to think that Francois lived in the South Seas, but in fact it is not, Francois lives on the continent of Europa, and there are many other Western Yis on that continent, and they also have several countries such as Korea and Wakoku, and they are also at war with each other......"

Xiao Ruxun generally shared the news that Chen Longzheng brought back with Ye Mengxiong, and Ye Mengxiong knew that the world of heaven and earth was vast, and there was such a colorful world outside of the Ming Dynasty.

"So I started a business with them, and I sent them silk tea and porcelain and iron pots, and they gave me silver for white flowers, but I don't know what will happen at the moment."

Ye Mengxiong was sometimes amazed, sometimes pondered, and was extremely curious about what Xiao Ruxun said.

"The world is so big, the world is so vast, the old man is really a frog at the bottom of the well!"

"Yes, out of the land of China, there is still such a vast space overseas, which is really fascinating!"

After talking like this, the atmosphere became more and more relaxed, and after eating and drinking for a while, the two finally got to the point.

"Ji Xin, as the old man said, Shen has always said that you rebelled, but the old man didn't believe it, now, you have to give the old man an exact explanation, as you said in your letter, Shen has always done the abolition of the king's great rebellion?"

Xiao Ruxun sighed and put down his chopsticks.

"Ye Gong, how could Ruxun ever lie to you? Shen has always staged a mutiny at night, and I am not the only one who wants to kill? The people around His Majesty who could be used, from Teng Xiang Siwei to the Imperial Horse Supervisor to the Master of Ceremonies, and then to the more than 2,000 Zhennan troops under my command, all died under Shen's mutiny.

Song Yingchanggong, the former secretary of the Criminal Department, and Zhao Zhigao, the old chief assistant, were also martyred for this, and Shen has always said to the outside world that they died of illness, but two important officials died of illness in a row, which is too strange.

Not to mention that Shen has always built Yuan Taichang in advance, according to the rules, it is common sense to build Yuan next year, he can't help but build Yuan in advance What is the reason for being weak in heart? That little emperor is simply a puppet pushed out by Shen Yiyi, Shen has always been the first assistant on the surface, but in fact he is doing Cao Mengde and Sima Yi! ”

Ye Mengxiong was silent for a while.

"What you said, the princes in Wuchang are also suspicious, and they are also questioning what Shen has in mind for the new emperor Jianyuan in advance, and now it seems that Shen has really done something rebellious!"

Ye Mengxiong's face became very ugly: "Shen has always been familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, how could he do such a thing?" How can he do something that can only be done by an unfaithful and unrighteous dog thief? ”

"Ye Gong, it's not me talking nonsense, in today's season, the low solar terms and high desires of the scholars are no less than those of the former Song Dynasty!"
