In the middle of the night, Chang Yu was half lying on the couch in the study, holding a book in his hand and watching.

At this time, Ho Jing has become a mess of porridge, and the diehard loyalists of the Huan clan are entangled in the only men and horses, and they are resisting to the death. The less determined ones rolled up early and prepared to run away.

And the remaining local forces in Yongzhou are anxious to find a way out.

Among the officials up and down in the capital, the most idle is Chang Yu. resigned from his official position, stayed at home, and waited for Huan Qi's condemnation.

But at this moment, how could Huan Qi's edict be sent in?

Chang Yu is still the highest-ranking Liang court official in the pickaxe capital, but on the surface, Chang Yu doesn't care about things anymore, and he saves a lot of trouble.

These days, it's not that no one wants to visit Chang Yu and find out the tone of this Great Zhou veteran. But no matter who it was, Chang Yu didn't meet him.

A gust of wind blew from the window, which also brought a burst of coolness.

Chang Yu's butler came from outside, with a hint of hesitation on his face, and said, "Lord, Young Master Meng Qing, he wants to see you?" ”

Before the housekeeper finished speaking, Chang Yu's face changed, and the housekeeper was trembling.

Maybe ordinary people don't know Chang Yu's cultivation, but this housekeeper knows it very well.

"Uncle, don't embarrass Uncle Qing, I begged him to bring me to you."

Meng Qing draped in a black robe and completely covered himself. When he stepped into the room, Chang Yu waved his hand, and the housekeeper retreated.

"Do you still dare to come to see me, aren't you afraid that I will correct you, a traitor, on the spot?"

Chang Yu's words seemed murderous, but there was a smile on his face.

Meng Qing took off his cloak and looked at Chang Yu like this, and the words that he had prepared suddenly couldn't be said.

"Uncle already knew."

"Although you have been passed on to the Meng clan by me since you were a child, I know your character very well. You sold Cangqiu for a good price, but one Cangqiu was not enough. ”

Chang Yu put down the book in his hand, took the teacup from the side, and took a sip gently.

"Chang, you won't care, because that has nothing to do with you. But how could you think that I would abandon the thousands of Chang clan people in the Divine Capital and help you? ”

"People don't destroy for their own sake! I believe my uncle and I are the same kind of people. ”

After hearing this, Chang Yu smiled.

"Accurate looking!"

"Now that the Zhou army has arrived, there is no help inside and outside. Yang Xian deliberately slowed down the time of the march, just to give the people up and down the pickaxe capital enough time to think about whether to confront or surrender? ”

Chang Yu smashed his mouth and said, "Yang Xian's strategy to attack the heart is indeed powerful. If possible, the generals in the pickaxe capital would like to tie those surnamed Huan to Yang Xian and ask for credit. ”

"Uncle is a veteran of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so naturally he should also know the situation in this world. Yongzhou, although Huan Qi still has the land of six states in his hands, the foundation has been lost. Yang Xian can capture Yongzhou today, and he will seize the Central Plains one day. The momentum has been achieved, and even if the uncle relies on cultivation, he can escape from Hojing and return to the divine capital. But will Huan Qi still trust his uncle? Betting on a side that is doomed to lose, will my uncle choose that? ”

Chang Yu didn't answer, but put down the teacup in his hand.

"Zongshi, do you know how old you are?"

"Twenty-eight!"

Meng Qing was not surprised that Chang Yu did not remember his age, but it was strange why he would talk nonsense at this time.

"No, you're only twenty-seven."

As Chang Yu's words fell, Meng Qing's face was full of incredulity. He was a widow, and his father, Chang Yu's younger brother, died in the twenty-ninth year.

If he is only twenty-seven, he is definitely not the right age.

"What does Uncle want to say?"

Meng Qing looked at Chang Yu with a complicated expression.

"Your mother is an excellent woman. Unfortunately, I can't give her a name. Therefore, I passed you to Meng Shi, not because I was so cold, but because I needed to compromise. Even if I am the patriarch of the Chang clan, I can't ignore the etiquette in vain. If you don't have the surname Chang, naturally you can't master the Chang clan, so those people in the clan can naturally rest assured. That's why you can have a way out. ”

Meng Qing's head exploded in a buzz, and the resentment that had accumulated in his heart for a long time was stirred. His pupils were bloodshot and he yelled.

"You lied to me!"

"I'm the third oldest in my generation, and I have two older brothers. There are also outstanding talents among the sons of your uncle and your middle father, so you can see that I have passed them outside? What's more, you were just a drooping child at that time, why should I carry the name of Bo Liang and succeed you? ”

Chang Yu's rhetorical question was clearly not convincing, but Meng Qing staggered and took a step back.

"Your mother is the woman I admire and love the most in my life, and it is because of this that you are targeted. There is a sentence of Huan Wu that I agree with. Sometimes, the more cherished she is, the more she will stay away. ”

Meng Qing sorted out his complicated thoughts, forcibly eliminated those messy emotions, and asked, "Uncle...... No, what does it have to do with the current situation when you tell me this? ”

Meng Qing wanted to make his words appear as cold as possible, but his trembling snort betrayed the unrest in his heart.

"As you said, even without me, Yang Xian would be able to take down Hojing. If you want it, I'll help you and use this pickaxe capital city as your advancement. ”

Meng Qing's heart was inexplicably touched, but Chang Yu in front of him was still like a mountain, which made him unable to see it really.

"But in this case, what should the Chang clan people in the Divine Capital do?"

The answer to this question was originally intended by Meng Qing to persuade Chang Yu. But at this moment, he took the initiative to raise this question to soothe the anxiety in his heart.

"Yang Xian captured Yongzhou, and the large and small forces are inextricably linked with those noble relatives in the divine capital, and many of them are also in-laws of the Huan family. If Huan Qi is smart, he will only re-elect a member of the Chang clan to stabilize the situation. ”

Chang Yu was thoughtful, as if he had already thought about everything, which couldn't help but make Meng Qing a little in a trance.

"The world is like a game, I thought that even if Huan Qi was not as good as Huan Wu, it would not be too bad after all. Unexpectedly, less than a year after he succeeded to the throne, Daliang lost Yongzhou. Yang Xian broke the game too quickly, and the next situation, you can't go! ”

Chang Yu said leisurely, patting Meng Qing's shoulder and waking him up from his trance.

"Zong Shi, instead of thinking about this now, why don't you think about how to survive in the Zhou Room in the future? Yang Xian is not an easy guy to deal with. ”

Chang Yu smiled, and there was a little more meaning in this smile that made Meng Qing throb.
